ADJOURNMENT CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OW( MINUTES OF AUGUST 24, 1994 Mayor Baldwin convened the meeting at 6:35 p.m. PRESENT Baldwin, Gehrz, Gibson Talbot, Hustad, and Jacobs. Also present were Hoyt, Asleson, Bachman, and Maurer. COMMUNITY FORUM There were no comments from the floor. MINUTES OF AUGUST 3, 1994 Minutes were approved as presented by unanimous consent. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVED The Council approved the following consent agenda by unanimous consent: 1. Disbursements a. General disbursements through 8/11/94, $46,895.77 b. Payroll, 8/1/94 to 8/15/94, $11,514.31 2. Licenses 3. Accepted of the resignation of Dave Bowers from the Human Rights Commission 4. Authorization for purchase of a television set for the Fire /Rescue Department 5. Request for authorization to enter into an agreement to hire a city auditor 6. Request for final payment for 1994 sealcoating 7. Scheduling a budget workshop 8. Purchase of waste receptacles for parks 9. Approval of election judges for the 1994 state primary election Councilmember Jacobs wished to have it noted for the record that he did not feel that the Fire Department needed to purchase a 31 television set; he felt a smaller set would be more appropriate. It was noted in Parks Director Kriegler's staff report on C -8 that while the Iron Mountain Forge receptacle was not the lowest bid received, it was the best value received among quotes submitted. The Iron Mountain Forge receptacle, unlike the others, includes a galvanized trash can. UPDATE ON NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CONTROL Administrator Hoyt reported that traffic studies had been completed in the Falcon Woods neighborhood. Traffic counters reported a few cars going very fast but that overall, speeds were within the speed limit. Police in unmarked vehicles monitoring the traffic did not turn up any speeders. Hoyt suggested that, if the Council wished to take further action, the most appropriate method would be a "no outlet" sign at the entrance to Falcon Woods, which might eliminate the occasional non resident who is looking for an outlet to Larpenteur Avenue. She discouraged the use of "Slow for Children" signs, as they have been found to not be effective and are increasingly not used because most cities want all residential streets to have traffic watch for children. After discussion, the Council decided to not erect the "no outlet" sign. Councilmember Jacobs commented that the issue is not the "outlet it is speed. While the police will attempt to monitor speeds, Councilmember Jacobs stated that the police need the assistance of residents of the neighborhood and said that a police presence in the city 24 hours a day should help. CITY /COUNTY SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT PERTAINING TO PARK PATHWAY Administrator Hoyt explained that Ramsey County had agreed in a previous contract to re -seed and reconstruct the pathway at Community Park at the time of the Cleveland Avenue reconstruction. This reconstruction has not been completed to the satisfaction of the city. City staff have met with the County and have worked out an amendment to the agreement regarding this path. The County is proposing to give back $2,000 of the contract amount and the city will perform the reconstruction on its own. Parks Director Kriegler and City Engineer Maurer have determined that this amount will be more than adequate to cover the city's reconstruction costs. The Council found this amendment satisfactory and authorized the administrator to sign the contract amendment. DISCUSSION ON THE ITINERANT SALESPERSONS AND SOLICITORS LICENSE REQUIREMENTS Councilmember Hustad explained that he had asked for this item to be on the agenda after hearing from a constituent about paid, professional solicitors canvassing the neighborhood. He commented that paid solicitors may be more troublesome to the community than neighborhood canvassers, and asked for the Council's input and reactions to the issue. Mayor Baldwin commented that this is a sticky matter because of all the First Amendment issues that accompany solicitation. He questioned why the city would want to regulate solicitors. If it is a matter of public safety, for profit and non profit solicitors should be treated in the same manner. Attorney Bachman reported on some research that he'd done on solicitors. This issue has been taken to state supreme courts around the country, but not in Minnesota as of yet. He advised that if the Council found a compelling governmental reason to regulate solicitors, it could be attempted. However, there are numerous Constitutional issues that would be roadblocks to regulation, including freedoms of speech and religion, and the right to interstate travel. Mayor Baldwin stated that he didn't see a compelling interest for further regulation. Councilmember Hustad agreed and thanked Attorney Bachman for his research. Administrator Hoyt requested and received authorization from the Council to work with Attorney Bachman to make propose minor clarifications to this section of the code to regulate itinerant merchants and solicitors. These changes would make the existing regulations on solicitors more succinct, understandable, and enforceable. UPDATE ON "TURN OFF THE VIOLENCE" CAMPAIGN Councilmember Gehrz reported on the Human Rights Commission's plans to commemorate the "Turn Off the Violence" campaign on October 22nd. Volunteers will be doing a door to door information campaign, and will also do a follow up survey to determine the effectiveness of their efforts. A $700 grant from the Ramsey County Non Violence Initiative has been secured. The Human Rights Commission is requesting another $500 from the city to for "Turn Off the Violence" identifying hats and photocopying costs. Councilmember Gibson Talbot commended the Human Rights Commission for their work. She noted that, in the past, this Commission has rarely used its budget funds and that this is an effective use of their money. Councilmember Hustad stated that he liked the idea of the follow up survey. Motion by Councilmember Gehrz to authorize a $500 transfer of funds to the Human Rights Commission for costs associated with their "Turn Off the Violence" campaign. Motion passed unanimously. SCHEDULING CITY COUNCIL FALL RETREAT The Council discussed possible dates for the Council /Staff Fall retreat. After discussion, the retreat was scheduled for November 4 and 5. REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR A CITY ACCOUNTANT Administrator Hoyt reported that a position description has been written for the city accountant position and she requested authorization to advertise for applicants and proceed with placement. The position is currently open with the resignation of City Finance Director Tom Kelly. Motion by Councilmember Hustad to authorize the administrator to advertise for the position of city accountant. Motion passed unanimously. INFORMATION ON THE NATIONAL CONGRESS OF CITIES The Council was informed that the National Congress of Cities' annual convention was going to be held in December in Minneapolis. This is a time for the Council to attend a national conference without incurring great expense to the city. Councilmembers were asked to inform staff if they wished to attend or wanted more information. CONSIDERATION OF THE EXISTING CITY ORDINANCE REQUIRING THE DISCONNECTION OF STORM SEWER DRAINAGE INTO THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM Administrator Hoyt reported that there are eight homes in Falcon Heights that are discharging storm sewer water into the sanitary sewer system. The St. Paul Water Utility has asked that the city enforce an existing ordinance that prohibits this practice. Hoyt requested that the Council direct staff to work with these property owners to make modifications to their water system, bringing these properties into conformance with city code. Councilmember Gehrz asked if these modifications would require the service of a professional. Administrator Hoyt replied that it was her understanding that the modifications were fairly simple. City staff would assist homeowners by explaining how to perform the disconnection and /or by providing the homeowner with the names of professionals licensed to work in Falcon Heights. CITY ANNOUNCEMENTS Councilmember Gibson Talbot reported that there had been good attendance at the Curtiss Field picnic supper for the Time -In Program. Administrator Hoyt reported that State Fair parking signs were up and parking ordinances being enforced. She reminded the viewing audience that there is no parking allowed on lawns. Hoyt also reported on miscellaneous small public works improvement projects.

An informal poll of neighboring communities shows that most are paying at least $5.00 per hour, with some larger cities paying up to $7.00 per hour. Although most (if not all) of the election judges serve for reasons unrelated to the paycheck they receive, an increase would seem to be in order. There are funds in the election budget to cover this modest increase. If approved, this wage increase would be effective for both the primary and general elections. ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of wage increase for election judges from $4.25 per hour to $5.00 per hour, effective retroactively to September 1, 1994. g :WOMf j N 1 `:in:: E=.:!N fib:_ii:WO e' AGENDA ITEM P -4 HAS BEEN POSTPONED. NEEDS MORE ATTENTION ON COST PROPOSALS. POLICY POLICY POLICY POLICY POLICY POLICY POLICY POLICY Meeting Date: 9/14/94 Agenda Item: P 1 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request for approval of the Ride Along Program SUBMITTED BY: Fire department REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: The city council tentatively approved the proposed ride -along program prepared by the fire department for riders on fire calls earlier this year. However, the council requested that the staff and firefighters work out a mechanism to assure the public that the riders responding to rescue calls be carefully considered to assure the privacy of individuals in medical emergencies, which constitute the majority of the city's emergency calls. After discussing this item, the fire department is recommending that the rescue call ride along program participation be restricted to persons who have received the 40 hours of first responder training through the Falcon Heights fire department or another authorized rescue service as approved by the fire chief. The fire department is also recommending that participants in fire calls and rescue calls sign an agreement of confidentiality. The program limits ride along participation to one nine hour tour of duty for anyone unless authorized to participate more often by the fire chief. ATTACHMENTS: 1 Proposed ride along program (see page 2) 2 Confidentiality form ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the fire department ride- along program as revised. A 1 f►1 At 4-- Effective September 15, 1994 Subject: Ride Along Program Purpose: To establish policy and procedures to be followed regarding the Ride Along Program whereby citizens may become passengers in Fire Department vehicles while a Fire Department member is on duty. The program will help to maintain communications and understanding between our citizens and members of the Fire Department by allowing citizens to accompany fire department members on duty. Permission may be granted only by the Fire Chief. Authorization: 1) The fire chief has the authority to permit or allow citizens the privilege of becoming passengers in fire department vehicles during the time the fire department member is performing his duties. 2) The fire chief may delegate this authority to grant permission to ride along to those fire department staff members who are responsible to the fire chief (Officers). 3) Each applicant shall submit a written application to the Fire Chief for permission to participate in the ride along program.

Over the past two years the event has grown considerably. The cost of the all -day open house is budgeted in the city's firefighting operating budget. However, due to increased expenditures for the open house and other unanticipated budget expenditures, specifically repairs to the rescue /fire truck, the budget is short this year. Therefore, the Relief Association will be contributing 150 toward the event. The fire department is requesting that Greg Peterson be permitted to approach the Lions Club about a possible donation toward the t- shirts, which cost iv. Last year the Lions donated 233 toward the open house.

This has been a very successful event for the Fire Department over the last few years. It is a great opportunity for the public to learn about fire prevention and have fun doing it. In order to do this though, we need funding for the event. Last year, we were fortunate enough to have some materials donated by members to keep the costs down. Unfortunately this year we do not have these resources. Therefore the budget has gone up. Last year we spent approximately $412 dollars, with $233 dollars being donated be the Falcon Heights Lauderdale Lions Club for T- Shirts. This year the Fire Department, due to truck repairs and so forth, will only be able to donate approximately $150 for the Open House. The Relief Association will also be l contributing about $150 dollars. This leaves approximately $500 dollars left to be covered for expenses. The Lions Club has offered to assist in covering the some of the costs that are left over. Specifically the T -shirts at a cost of $440 dollars. If the council would be willing to contribute more toward the Open House or allow us to receive a donation from the Lions Club (or both), it would be greatly appreciated.

The intent of the discussion was to more effectively maintain and improve roadways in the county by classifying roadways within the county by use, then to determine which county roads should be turned over to the cities within whose borders they lie. In addition to turning county roads over to the cities, the county proposes to take back roads like Highway 96 from state highway status to become a county state aid highway. After three years of discussion as well as legislation that permits cities to increase their state aid mileage (MSA) for roads that are turned back to cities, the plan is progressing. At meeting this July the Ramsey County engineer proposed four options under which cities can take back roadways from the county. Two of these options apply to Falcon Heights. In Falcon Heights the roads under consideration are: Street Mileage Border city Fulham Street Larpenteur to Roselawn .25 Lauderdale Hamline Avenue Hoyt to Larpenteur .13 St. Paul Hoyt Street Snelling to Hamlin .26 St. Paul Roselawn Avenue Fulham to Hamline 1.0 Roseville Total 1.63 The city engineer discusses the financial and managerial pros and cons of this project. He recommends that Falcon Heights delay taking over these roadways as long as possible because 1) the increased maintenance costs for repair and snowplowing, 2) the coordination costs with three neighboring jurisdictions and 3) the future reconstruction costs outweigh during a time when the city is rebuilding its infrastructure funds to rebuild local city streets outweighs the financial incentives that additional MSA funding could provide to the city. The cities of Lauderdale and Roseville are also proceeding slowly with this plan. The City of St. Paul staff has not been available to talk with the city engineer.

Ramsey County has recently gathered information from many of the communities within the County and put forward a proposal on a method to accomplish their goal of roadway consolidation. This correspondence is intended to summarize the information to date plus detail the Ramsey County proposal relative to its effects on the City of Falcon Heights. SUM YIN{; A.

The first option would be to bring the roadway to level 90, which would generally 1326 Energy Pork Days include recycling or seal, coating of the pavement and then turnback to the City. The St. Paul, AV 55108 second option involves the City reconstructing the roadway and the County 6126444389 participating, based on a formula and the road's current pavement rating. The third option involves a roadway that the County would bring to level 90 and instead the Fax: 612 644 -9446 City would like to reconstruct, so the County provides the City a comparable amount of cash which the City can then use to rebuild the road. The fourth option involves 9800 Selo rd t'crkwoly swapping roadways in the case where there are roads to be turned back from the City M I i:0kAA4 to the County. Due to the condition rating of the roadway in question only Option 1 pertains to the City of Falcon Heights. 612- 546 -0432 Fitz: 612 544.6398 330A10- 0909.eep 711tid 1 ayGW Si I NA 10G-6. d� Ms. Susan Hoyt September 9, 1994 Page Two The following provides the actual options as presented by the County: Trobork Option 1 County will pay cost to bring to Pavement Condition Rating level 90 including shoulder paving (Case Avenue Maplewood). Paves shoulders if new pavement required. County pays all costs. City puts on MSA system if meets qualifying criteria. County is allowed to redesignate CSAH to: 1. County route in City 2. County route in County 3. New County route County pays $8,000 to non MSA cities. Tornhwrk notion 2 City wants to reconstruct non MSA County route (County Road P Arden Hills). This means the City previously did not carry MSA designation. County pays according to "rimnty Rome reconstruction policy (NOT including storm sewers). County pays storm sewer based on Pntage nf.,C mty right- of_way in drainage area (NOT state aid). Payment adjusted by PMS [(90- CR)ICR) 1993 Condition Rating. City puts on MSA system if meets qualifying criteria. City reimbursed for reconstruction based on contractor invoice meeting or exceeding County share. City authorizes County to redesignate CSAH designation to County Road designation on all proposed turnback routes. County pays $8,000 /mile to non MSA cities. T rn ark Qptikn 3 City previously carried MSA mileage had no responsibility (7th and Gramsie). County will pay cost to bring to Pavement Condition Rating level 90 including shoulder paving. If City chooses to reconstruct City reimbursed to level 90 cost based on contractor invoice meeting or exceeding level 90 cost.

Ms. Susan Hoyt S eptember 9 1 994 Page Three City pays level 90 cost of City route. City authorizes County to redesignate CSAH designation to County Road designation on all proposed turnback routes. C. EFFECT ON CITY'S MUNICIPAL STATE AID SYSTEM The County has been successful in getting special legislation this past session which would allow the City to place turnbacked roadways on their Municipal State Aid system as long as it meets the general criteria for Municipal State Aid roads. I believe that all the roadways, could likely be placed on the City's MSA system. Special legislation allows the City to go above to 20% cap in adding roadways to the MSA system. The distribution of Municipal State Aid monies is based on two criteria, one being population, and the second being needs. Needs are defined as the amount of monies needed to totally reconstruct the City's system up to an MSA standard. For the last full year of reporting, which was 1993, the average construction apportionment per mile in the City of Falcon Heights was $4,021.00. This number is relatively low because most of the City's MSA system has been rebuilt in the past several years. This would be approximately the amount of additional construction dollars the City would receive per mile for each County Road placed on the MSA system but not totally reconstructed. In other words, if the County were to bring a roadway to level 90 and turn it back to the City, and the City were to place it on their Municipal State Aid system, this would be the increase in annual allotment that could be expected. However, county roads such as Roselawn Avenue which were reconstructed in the past 20 years to state aid standards do not receive these monies. In conclusion, I believe the overall increase in MSA monies the City could expect would be less than $5,000 annually. D. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVES The only real positive associated with this turnback proposal other than the impmvement in the overall roadway system to be expected by the motoring public is the slight increase in municipal state aid dollars the City would receive each year. However, there are several negatives associated with this proposal directly related to the City. These would include the following: All the roadways in question are on borders between the cities of Falcon Heights, Roseville, Lauderdale, or St. Paul. Therefore, it involves john cooperation to turn the road back, to maintain it, and to reconstruct it at some point in the future. 330/OOO- Q909.s p 4 0 S W L T I N A MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS Ms. Susan Hoyt September 9, 1994 Page Four Since the City contracts for snowplowing and most maintenance services the turnback of these roadways would directly increase the City's maintenance cost. Larger communities which have full service maintenance departments may not see a direct dollar increase for ongoing maintenance since they could easily add a small amount of additional mileage to snowplowing or other maintenance operations. Since the City's current capital improvement piogiam has already programmed projects out to approximately the year 2000, it is unlikely any of these proposed turnback roadways would be addressed for any major improvements within the next 5 to 7 years. At this point we are only assuming that each of the roadways will meet the criteria to be placed on the Municipal State Aid System. If in fact one or more of them is not allowed by the District State Aid Engineer this would reduce even more the small amount of increase the City may see in their annual allotment. The turnback of these roadways would increase annually the amount of 11 oadway in the ongoing seal coating program, thus increasing the annual cost for this work. We have been successful in contacting the City of Roseville and the City of Lauderdale relative to their plans for the turnback of roadways in their community. Neither Roseville nor Lauderdale desires to have the border roadways turned back in the short term. The would prefer to stretch out the turnback process as far as possible within the ten year window. E. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The County has indicated they would like to accomplish the turnback of all roadways within a ten year window. They have asked each City to review the roadways within their community and indicate to the County the type of turnback option they would see utilizing and the time frame to do that. As previously mentioned only Option 1 would apply to the City of Falcon Heights. Based on the other information detailed in this letter I would recommend that the turnback roadways be postponed as long as possible. Since all are border roads with other communities it may not be possible to extend them to the end of the ten year period. Certainly the City should try to postpone the actual turnback as long as possible. However, it may be necessary to coordinate and cooperate with bordering communities and do some of them earlier than you would generally prefer. 33 mild b9.sep $Sw 6 Ms. Susan Hoyt September 9, 1994 Page Four Since the City contracts for snowplowing and most maintenance services the turnback of these roadways would directly increase the City's maintenance cost.

The budgeted amount for the vita course was $11,000 and $8,000 was budgeted for pathway rehabilitation ($6,000 actual with an additional $2,000 from the county /Cleveland Ave. project). The following expenditures are recommended in an effort to rehabilitate the vita course: $300 -$400 Saw purchase (to facilitate sign replacement) $675 "Game- time" horizontal ladder station $350 "Game- time" sit -up station $100 New station signs $1,200 Wood and hardware for sign frame and post replacement A recommendation concerning the pathway rehabilitation will be presented at the September 14th council meeting. Price quotations were not available for inclusion in this agenda material. A staff report outlining these projects will be available prior to the September 14th meeting. ACTION REQUESTED: Authorization to proceed with Community Park vita course and pathway rehabilitation projects. r:::: »;..:,;..:;::::.;:irrr" is :;;:::siri';::;;::::::::<:: '':iii5 ":4's Meeting Date: 9/14/94 Agenda Item: P 5 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request for authorization to proceed with expenditures for site improvements in front of city hall SUBMITTED BY: Pete Klinkenberg, Public Works and Parks Superintendant Carol Kriegler, Park and Recreation Director REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator Linda Treeful, City Forester Betsy Fitzsimmons, Hoisington Group, landscape architect EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: (prepared by Susan Hoyt) The property in front of city hall requires upgrading to be in keeping with the maintenance standards in the community. This will require establishlishing lawn in the bare, sandy area. It also requires some tree pruning and removal of some low branches, diseased and deteriorating trees. The staff met with Betsy Fitzsimmons, who is a landscape architect working on the Larpenteur Avenue project, for her advice on what vegetation should stay and what go. She suggested removing most of the low shrubs and the bending trees and branches, but felt that with some serious pruning some of the larger, healthy trees can stay. She said that the modest landscape improvements would not be a long term waste of money because good soil and trimmed trees would be part of any landscape changes in the area. Staff estimates that the tree removal, topsoil and seed will cost approximately $1,200. ACTION REQUESTED: Approve 1,200 out of the TIF capital construction fund for site improvements in front of city hall. gito ugrEpo gromuerompouerommouevesupo LI Meeting Date: 9/14/94 Agenda Item: P 6, CITY OF F ALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Proposed amendments to Chapter 9 Section 2.04 Subdivision 1 c. of the zoning code related to the height and setback of detached garages. SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commissi REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator Carla Asleson, Planner Peter Bachman, City Attorney EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: (prepared by Susan Hoyt) Over the past four months the planning commission reviewed the requirements governing the placement and height of detached garages in the city to determine 1)what the appropriate maximum height is for this city, 2) to simplify some existing language and 3) to eliminate the need for a variance in the sideyard for replacement garages in some sections of the city. The results of this review lead to the following recommendations: 1. Height. The current height requirement that permits a detached garage to be as tall as the principal structure be amended with additional language specifying that a maximum height of eighteen feet with a 4 foot (vertical) to 1 foot (horizontal) or a maximum height of 12 feet if the roof slope is Tess than 4:1 be permitted. This change is recommended because the commission felt that a detached garage that is two stories high would be out of character with the scale of surrounding structures even if it was the same height as the principal structure on that property. Staff studied building permits for garages over the past five years and toured the city and found that all garages fell within the eighteen foot height limit. The maximum of 12 feet for a flat or low grade roof assures the city that the structures will be in scale with surrounding structures. 2. Simplification. The current code states that garages accessed from alleys can be one foot from the property line if three conditions are met. One of these requirements is "within the rear 20% of the lot After reviewing the plat map and working with property owners in the Northome neighborhood where this predominantly applies, staff recommends that this be changed to the rear 28 feet of the lot. It accomplishes the same thing and is easier for everyone to understand, especially for a homeowner reviewing the city's summary of zoning requirements as he or she plans for a new garage. 3. Sidevard setbacks. Over the past few years there have been a few variance requests in the 5 foot sideyard setback requirement in order to construct a new detached garage replacing an existing detached garage that is located at less than a 5 foot setback. This is most notable in the northeast quadrant area where lots are usually 60 to 65 feet in width. Rather than require these homeowners to go through the variance process to build a new detached garage at the same setback as their existing garage, the commission is recommending that the code be revised to permit these new garages to be constructed at the existing garage setback if it is not less than two feet from the sidelot line. These revisions address the necessity of keeping a distance between the principal structure on the nearest adjoining property and the new garage so that a new garage isn't right next to a neighbor's family room window or a similar situation. ATTACHMENTS: 1 Proposed revisions to the zoning code 2 Memo from the planner to the planning commission includes photos of new garages in the city ACTION REQUESTED: 1. Explanation of planning commission recommendation by staff 2. Discuss. 3. Adopt the proposed amendments to the zoning code including Chapter 9 Section 2.04 Subdivision 1 c.; Section 8.01 Subdivision 6 b.; Section 9.01 Subdivision 6 b; Section 0.01 Subdivision 6 a 1 9 -2.04 Accessory Buildings and Structures Subdivision 1. General a. No accessory building shall be constructed on a lot prior to the time of construction of the principal building or land use to which it is accessory. b. An accessory building shall be considered as an integral part of the principal building if it is located less than twelve (12) feet from the principal building with respect to firewall and other requirements of the building code. (Amended by Ordinance 0- 90 -01, January 10, 1990.) c. Accessory buildings, other than garages, in a residential district may be located not less than five feet from an interior side or rear lot line unless the accessory structure is located in the rear twenty percent of the lot, in which case they can be located not less than one foot from the interior side or rear lot line (overhangs may not extend into the one foot side or rear yard setback).

Aittatuvw 2 City of Falcon Heights Memorandum DATE: 20 May 1994 TO: Planning Commissioners FROM: Carla Asleson, City Planner RE: Discussion and recommended changes in the zoning code regarding detached garages Placement of detached garages NOT on an alley. A. Proposed addition: Permit a new garage to be built at the same sideyard setback as the existing garage, if the existing garage's sideyard setback is two feet or more. (May limit this to lots that are 70 feet or less in width but probably not necessary.) II. Placement of detached garages ON an alley. A. Proposed clarification: Change the current code related to the placement of garages on an alley to permit a 1 foot side and rearyard setbacks when the garage is: on an alley with the door facing away from galley (east or west) in the rear 2$ feet of the lot (rather than the rear 20% of the lot) 28 111. Maximum detached garage height. A. Proposed limitations: Currently the only limitation in the code regarding detached garage height is the statement that a detached accessory structure cannot exceed the height of the principal structure. The zoning code permits homes of a maximum of 25 feet in height and there are several structures that are this height in the city. Therefore, the code currently permits a detached garage to be 25 feet in height. (Attachment 1.) B. Three options: All options are measured from grade to the peak, which is the easiest and most accurate way to measure these structures. 1. A 15 foot maximum height but not higher than the principal structure. This captures most standard garages and some additional space. A "standard" 24 foot by 24 foot garage is typically 12 to 15 feet high. 2. An 18 foot maximum height but NOT higher than the principal structure. This permits a story and a half garage that is still 7 feet shorter than a two story, 25 foot house. Using a different measure, the grade to midpoint between peak and eave measure is about 13 or 14 feet. Most cities surveyed use a 16 foot grade to midpoint between peak and eave so this is consistent. (Attachment 2) There are currently two new garages being constructed at heights of 16 feet 7 inches at 1357 California and 17 feet 4 inches at 1804 Tatum. 3. Maintain the existing code of no higher than the principal structure as the maximum height. Note: The zoning code does not permit occupancy of a detached accessory structure. C. Staff recommends that current zoning standards be changed to allow a detached garage height of 18 feet but NOT higher than the principal structure. This would eliminate the possibility of a detached 25 foot high garage, while allowing the 15 foot to 18 foot garages that have been permitted in the past. If the commission feels that 18 feet is excessively high, the number could be reduced to 16 feet. Any number lower than 16 feet will likely result in an increase in the number of variance requests brought before the commission. IV. Maximum detached garage size Proposed addition: Keep the same criteria (40% of the required rear yard) but add that a detached garage cannot he larnpr in rea'than the e the principal stri icture. ,-o r-1 yS H !'.t� f 4. 6 mss `.r i",- t -R 14 ;iNe i s: Y1 T z t I 7 f i F 1 1 i •'-'41'..• .arc r i t r t I. i yra. •i 1_ f :t•_ :s ss y 4 j l' 1 ,t i 2 7: *I li: I 11 i 1 ti e..,: 111111 .1.

On August 22 an informal picnic was held at Curtiss Field for "friends and neighbors" of the park. It's estimated that the event was attended by 80 to 100 people. The event seemed to be different from other city sponsored events in that it served to bring friends and neighbors together from a specific area of the city. Folks in attendance seemed to welcome the opportunity to attend a neighborhood based event. In celebration of "Cities Week staff suggests that an informal gathering be scheduled for each of the neighborhoods in the city. The event would consist of members of the Falcon Heights Fire Department and the St. Anthony Police Dept., along with their vehicles, parked in a designated location in the neighborhood. Their presence would serve as location for friends and neighbors to gather as well as provide an opportunity to meet and visit with members of the fire department and the police officers that will soon serve the city. It is suggested that coffee, lemonade and cookies would be served at each location. Publicity for the events would be accomplished by noticing it in the local newspapers and dropping fliers off two days prior to the event in each specific neighborhood.
