STAFF RECOMMENDATION: By approving the consent agenda, the City Council is adopting the attached resolution. Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 051226A CITY OF LAUDERDALE COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA APPROVING A FIVE-FOOT VARIANCE TO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT AT 1765 CARL STREET WHEREAS, Steven Sventek applied for a 5-foot variance to the front -yard setback requirement for a deck on the front of a single-family home in the R-1 District; and WHEREAS, Steven and Linda Sventek are trustees of the property at 1765 Carl Street, which is legally described as: PIN: 172923340064 20 FT OF LOT 8 & ALL OF LOT 9, BLK 2 ROSEHILL ADDITION, RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA WHEREAS, Section 10-8-8 (Land and Yard Requirements) allows for a minimum front -yard setback of 30 feet; and WHEREAS, a deck on the front of the house was constructed some years ago; and WHEREAS, a record of a previous variance approval was not found; and WHEREAS, the existing deck projects five feet into the front yard setback area; and WHEREAS, a 4-foot extension to the south side of the deck is proposed; and WHEREAS, the extension of the deck will not encroach any further into the front yard setback area; and WHEREAS, notification letters went to property owners adjacent to the subject property; and WHEREAS, a public hearing on the request was held at the April 28, 2026, city council meeting; and WHEREAS, the Lauderdale City Council has made the following findings: 1. The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the city's zoning ordinance because it is in support of single-family housing in an area zoned for such. 2. The variance is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan because it promotes single family housing in an area guided for such. 3. The variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the structure will be of a size and scale of other single-family dwellings in the vicinity. 4. The applicant has established that there exist practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance because the house was originally constructed 31 feet from the property line with a deck for egress. The variance is of a size and is associated with elements of the structure (for functionality) which the city has previously supported through variances. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lauderdale, does hereby approve a 5-foot variance to the front yard setback requirement, based upon the above findings.

We asked them to perform crack filling this summer. While out, they noticed the high number of rocks poking through. The surface needs to be redone this year before the rocks crack the surface to the point where the whole surface needs to be milled and redone. The cost to resurface the top layer is $14,500. They said the cost to replace the entire top and subsurface is in the $80,000 range. Community members requested that the courts be striped for four instead of two pickleball courts. I asked the owner if that would change the price but haven't heard back yet. If it does, it won't be by much. Staff can work that out with them when they come to do the repair in a couple of weeks. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to accept Court Surfaces and Repair quote to resurface the Community Park tennis courts.

Education is a key component of their mission that they want to continue to promote in all the communities they work in.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to proclaim May 2026 as Building Safety Month in the City of Lauderdale. RUM RIVER CONSULTANTS May 3, 2026 Emailed City of Lauderdale Heather Butkowski, City Administrator (heather.butkowski@lauderdalemn.org) 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 RE: 2026 Building Safety Month Proclamation Request Dear Heather, As we begin the month of May, we invite the City of Lauderdale to consider presenting the attached proclamation at an upcoming Council meeting to recognize May as Building Safety Month. This is an opportunity to highlight the importance of building permits, code compliance, and the role they play in protecting the community. Building Safety Month is an international campaign led by the International Code Council (ICC), held each May to raise awareness about building safety. The campaign emphasizes the importance of regularly updated building codes and helps individuals, families, and businesses better understand what goes into creating safe, durable structures. The 2026 theme, "Built to Last," focuses on modern codes, the role of safety professionals, and sustainable construction practices that support long-term community resilience. Building codes serve as a foundational safeguard against risks such as fire, severe weather, and structural failure. They help ensure that homes, public buildings, schools, and commercial spaces are constructed and maintained to protect those who live, work, and gather within them. Code officials work in coordination with contractors, design professionals, and public safety partners to support consistent application of these standards. For more than four decades, Building Safety Month has recognized advancements in safe and sustainable construction, along with the professionals who support these efforts. This initiative continues to be supported at all levels of government and across the built environment and construction industry. As an additional resource, informational materials are available on our website (www.rumrivercc.com) to help guide contractors and property owners through common project requirements and applicable code provisions. Thank you for your consideration in recognizing Building Safety Month. If your jurisdiction adopts the proclamation, please feel free to share a signed copy, and we will submit it to the ICC for inclusion on their national campaign website. If you have any questions or would like assistance with the proclamation process, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Dated: Mary Gaasch Mayor LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Meeting Date May 12, 2026 Agenda Item Bolger Groundwater Issue Action Requested Consent ❑ Public Hearing ❑ Discussion El Action 0 Resolution ❑ Work Session ❑ DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: Bolger Publishing (3301 Como Avenue) is a long-time Lauderdale business. Up until the past 15 years or so, they did not have groundwater seeping through their parking lot (see 2024 map). They said it started about the time that MNDOT put in the stormwater pond on the old Goodwill site. MNDOT, however, denies that there is a relationship between the pond and the drainage issue. Ultimately, the water trail creates an ice problem in winter and is damaging to their building. They would like to fix the issue. City staff and engineer spent a lot of time working with their engineer on possible options for routing the water to a catch basin in Minneapolis. Stormwater rules are incredibly difficult to navigate so that ultimately didn't work. The current proposed design is to drain the water to a sanitary sewer manhole in the Lauderdale system. It is our last manhole leaving the city before the water enters Minneapolis. In addition to City Council approval, they also much get a permit from the Metropolitan Council. The agreement would allow them to construct the system and be billed for the volume of water that enters the City's system. This would be done via an estimated volume during the year through our quarterly sewer billing with a true up at the end of each year. The agreement is ready except for a few things they are sending to me: legal name and type of incorporation; signers' names and titles; and full legal description. The Council can approve the agreement at the meeting and staff will add those items before getting signatures. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve the Sanitary Sewer Agreement with Bolger Printing. 0 - Z 0 z Zy ZI o to'• H N. oz n u E• zil z > oz BOLGER BUILDING 0 o 20 }} ;I •..t."..:. ., Into Q J 5 I �� o� 4• �� o �� I J o 11• `_> TTS • • V J I 1 ` - % 0 a \ oN O 3S 3AV 421££ 3 5 9 CHANICAL COMPONE CROSS SECTION A -A' (NOT TO SCALE) u>� it ,_j !n ei z a n� ♦�{ o W INLET PROTECTION COMO AVE w •w a 0 Na O CO II �, G II X> X zwa-. fait Ou c, to a INLET PROT b i N a LL a K C7 (7 3 re 0 0 U Z Z In 2 oil mQo w<Qw 0 K z 0 Z_ m O a 5 3 5 5 8 a Map Ramsey T Z O U 'o U O - Y y O o E O 0 - o N N v O ' O O 5/7/2026, 1:38:00 PM 2024 Aerial O c a) LL Green: Band_2 0 0 U Tax Parcels Blue: Band_3 a �' j N tit ll _W▪ I. ▪ &LAr► .19r. gr. r1 Polgi 1t Vtri 1� t , frown• O O 0 — 0 5/7/2026, 1:41:02 PM Tax Parcels Sanitary Sewer Agreement This sanitary sewer agreement (the "Agreement") is made this day of May, 2026 by and between the city of Lauderdale, a municipal corporation under the laws of Minnesota (the "City") and Bolger Printing, a under the laws of ("Bolger"), each a "Party" and, together, the "Parties".
