LAUDERDALF, CITY COUNCIL MI Fi,TING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street L auderdale, MN 55113 P age 2 of 3 February 13, 2024 Informational Presentations/Reports A. Discussion with Northeast Youth and Family Services Director Angela Lewis-Dmello Lewis-Dmello provided the Council updates on what the organization has been working on in general and on behalf of Lauderdale residents. She fielded questions as well. The Council took a brief recess at 7:38 p.m. and returned at 7:43 p.m. B . City Council Updates Mayor Gaasch said she attended the Advanced Elected Leaders Institute hosted by the League of Minnesota Cities. Councilor Kelly shared that she attended a St. Paul Winter Carnival event. Discussion/Action Item A. Purchase of Plow and Dump Box for 2024 Ford F-350 City staff called three vendors that supply dump truck boxes and plows. The vendor we used in the past is no longer in the business of providing these items so we received quotes from two others: ABM hquipment and Crysteel Truck Fi quipment. Crysteel's quote was cheaper for the box and plow so we finalized equipment details with them. Ciysteel holds the state contract which explains why they were cheaper than the competitor. The dump box with hoist and additional lights is $19,230. The plow is $10,153. Once the new truck is up and iunning, staff will discuss selling the cuirent dump truck. Councilor Kelly made a motion to approve purchase of dump box and plow from Crysteel Truck Equipment as presented. This was seconded by Councilor Dains and carried unanimously. B . Metropolitan Council 2024 Private Property Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Grant Agreement No. SG -20605 Butkowski explained that the City of Lauderdale was awaided a $25,000 Private Property Inflow and Infiltration Grant from the Metropolitan Council for 2024 The grant provides Lauderdale residents with grants up to $5,000 to help with repairs that will remove and prevent clear water from entering the wastewater treatment system. The purpose of preventing the clear water from private sewer pipes from entering the sanitary sewer system is that it does not need to be treated as wastewater. The clean water takes up space in the wastewater system, especially during rain events that require the discharge of sewage into rivers and lakes when the system is overwhelmed. In order to proceed with participating in the grant program, the Council must approve the grant agreement with the Met Council. Councilor Sayre made a motion to approve the Metropolitan Council 2024 Private Property Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Grant Agreement No. SG -20605. This was seconded by Councilor Pulford and carried unanimously.

Heather Butkowski Sent: Friday, February 16, 2024 3:58 PM To: McDonnell, Ania' Subject: RE: 'Missing Middle" Housing Bill H i Ania, My thought came from a couple of different issues we deal with. O ne is simply that there various rules and timeframes for many things we have to remember, to the extent things are the same to what we are already doing the better. My comment also draws on our experience working with applicants on zoning projects. They rarely have everything ready to make a complete submittal. They want to turn in everything piecemeal. That triggers problems with the 15 review period. This legislation seems to emphasize the city employees need to expedite review. In reality, the applicants will likely not be submitting complete materials and we will have to have a way to pause the review period, tell them what they are missing, and make it clear that the review won t proceed without those items. I also suspect that applications to create this "missing middle" housing may require variances. If so, any requirements to review these applications can't have deadlines that are faster than zoning. If that doesn't make sense, I can give you a call to see how you think these applications for missing middle housing may end up working. Maybe my ideas are out in left field.

McDonnell, Ania <ania@metrocitiesmn.org>; Nauman, Patricia <patricia@metrocitiesmn.org> Subject: RE: "Missing Middle" Housing Bill G ood afternoon, 1 I have so many thoughts and questions it is hard to be concise. Tell me if I am misunderstanding any part of the proposed language. It is unclear to me whether their language of ' must allow development" means it only applies to new construction or existing construction. I will assume that effectively this means that what are now single-family homes will be allowed to be more than that. This has a different impact depending on the location of the dwelling. In Lauderdale, it means more single-family homes will be bought and converted to duplexes because of the high demand for rental housing since we are near the U of M. That may not be the same impact in other communities where the draw of rental units is not as high. What I think legislators should know (which should be obvious) is that allowing housing to be more than one unit changes its market value In a place like Lauderdale that has naturally occurring affordable owner occupied housing, the prices of what are now affordable single-family units will go up due to the demand for rental units. In the quest to create more affordable housing units it is at the loss of the other goal of maintaining affordable owner occupied units that we all agree are the backbone of what creates generational wealth. What I hope legislators also consider is neighborhood impact and own the backlash that results from these changes. When you buy a house you look around and see if the neighborhood is one that matches what you are looking for. These laws will change neighborhoods. We have been dealing with this issue due to single-family homes being purchased by investors that rent to more individuals/adults than a typical family would have It creates issues with things like parking and the different levels of care and maintenance given to owner -occupied housing versus rented housing. I think over time these laws will create highly concentrated investor owned units in neighborhoods where housing is more affordable and not change housing patterns in areas where housing is higher priced. I have no idea what the minimum lot size is supposed to accomplish. If there must be an expedient administrative design review process, it should mirror the existing zoning review process timeframes. I suspect many applications for missing middle housing will request variances. Take care, Heather From.

Good afternoon, Thank you for agreeing to serve as an informal 'kitchen cabinet' on housing policy bills this session. The session will begin on Monday the 12th, and Metro Cities is anticipating a number of bills that will be consequential for cities. This week, we received draft bill language for legislation aimed at "missing middle" housing (see attached). Representative Larry Kraft- St Louis Park, will author this bill in the House and we expect the Senate bill may be authored by Senator Nicole Mitchell -Woodbury. The bill contains a wide range of local preemption provisions, including: • Cities of the first-class must allow development of four dwelling units on any residential lot 2 ® Cities of the second, third and fourth class must allow the development of two dwelling units on any residential lot ® ADUs authorized by right ® For cities of the second, third and fourth class, minimum lot sizes must be limited to 4,000 square feet for a single family detached home and other middle housing types ® An expedient administrative design review process for 'middle' housing ® Limitation of aesthetic mandates We would appreciate receiving your thoughts, feedback, and reactions to the bill, including implications that it may have for your city specifically, how it may affect the provision of local services and infrastructure, and any other concerns. We would appreciate any feedback by next Friday, February 16th Thank you in advance for your thoughts and feedback! Happy Friday!
