PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA A regular meeting of the Mounds View City Council was called to order by Mayor Johnson on April 12, 1976, at 8:15 p.mr, at Mounds View City Hall, 2401 Highway 10, Mounds View, MN 55112. Present: Mayor Johnson Also present: Clerk Admin. Achen Councilman Hodges Atty. Meyers Councilman Baumgartner Engineer Bearden Councilman Pickar Councilman Shelquist MSP (Baumgartner Shelquist) to approve the minutes of March 22, 1976, regular meeting. 5 ayes Citizen Comments and Suggestions. Dennis Smith, 5557 St. Stephens, suggested that there should be a sidewalk between Quincy and Long Lake Road on County Rd. I. He has no peition yet. Mr. Gustafson, County Rd. I and Long Lake Rd., suggested they widen the street and the speed limit should be reduced to 30 mph. After the blacktop is there put a white line and designate that this is the bicycle and pedestrian area. Something should be done before somebody gets hurt. There are also no street lights. Don McNamara, 5551 St. Stephens, stated that the kids have to walk four blocks on County Rd. I and when it is plowed they are practically in the traffic. Further, it is dark in the winter. Councilman Baumgartner stated that Fridley on Osborne Rd. but it doesn't seem to mean said that the general policy of the county They allow the city to put sidewalks in if with their expansion plans. MSA funds are in certain instances. has put the white lines anything. Engineer Bearden is not to pay for sidewalks. it doesn't interfere available for sidewalks Mayor Johnson suggested researching the question to see if MSA funds could be used. He would not want to jeopardize any funds but check and get a reading on it. Dennis Smith said that if they had it on the one side it would help. Currently the women are forming a walk patrol to escort the children to school. Mayor Johnson stated that the problem is how to fund the project. Further, you are going to have to have a petition from the residents in this area. Mayor. Johnson recessed the regular meeting at 8:30 for the public hearin• on Selmer Sakariason ma'or subdivision re•uest for property on Sunnyside Rd. between Ardan Ave. and County Rd. J. Charles Buzzel, developer, stated that this is a subdivision of five lots on Sunnyside. Presently there is a home and an out building on the premises that will be removed. Lots will be 81 x 236. -2- Admin. Achen stated that the Planning Commission approved the plat. The major question involved is when to require removal of the structures. We have to assure that the house is removed without imposing too stringent conditions upon the property owner: Planning Commission recommended July 1. Mayor Johnson inquired as to whether he would enter into a develop- ment agreement with the city and a bond, so that the city can be assured that it will be removed. Mr. Buzzel said that had not been raised before so we haven't given it any consideration. Mr. Sakariason has been waiting on the outcome before he relocates. The whole thing is conditional upon the approval of the subdivision. He is assured that I have a buyer and he has received a down payment. Mayor Johnson explained that the only reason we have a bond is to act as an impetus to make sure that you have the home removed by July 1. Mr. Buzzel said that he would agree to that. Atty. Meyers stated that the Council cannot approve a subdivision that creates a violation of our subdivision ordinance. Admin. Achen asked if the contract could be made airtight to meet the city's requirement so that the sale can go through prior to the filing of this plat. Approval would be on the condition that the buildings be removed. That way you would protect the buyer, the seller and the city. Atty Meyers stated that he could only envision a development contract and posting a bond for an agreement where the city could go in and demolish the building. Mr. Buzzel stated that they hoped to break ground on the 25th of this month. The buyer's home is already sold and the financing of this new home has a deadline of July 1. If it isn't granted he cannot get u building permit which would hamper building of the home on Lot 1. MSP (Johnson Hodges) that we approve the major subdivision of Selmer Sakariason for property on Sunnyside Rd. between Ardan Ave. and County Rd. J, subject to the home being removed on the proposed Lots2 3 and the garage being removed on Lots 3 4 prior to final approval of the proposed major subdivision and the recording thereof. A roll call vote was requested. Councilman Shelquist aye Councilman Hodges aye Councilman Baumgartner aye Councilman Pickar aye Mayor Johnson aye 5 ayes MSP (Shelquist Pickar) to adjourn the special hearing of Selmer Sakariason at 8:45 p.m. 5 ayes Mayor Johnson called to order the public hearing on the updating of the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan at 8:46 p.m. Tne public hearing was then recessed and the Council went back to the regular Council meeting to hear more citizen requests. -3- Jim Benolkin, 7781 Groveland Rd., spoke regarding sudden enforce ment of the state motorcycle ordinance. The village has cut us off completely and we want to know why. Our understanding is we cannot ride without getting a tag. The police came to the field we were riding in and showed us a paper to that effect. Admin. Achen stated that is a -state law and not a city law. Mr. Benolkin said that the owner of the land said it was fine to ride as long as we don't start a fire. We have talked to other people and they have specific areas in the city designated for them to ride by the city. Mayor Johnson told him that if it is not our property we cannot designate that as a place to ride. We have had calls about excessive noise. Mr. Benolkin replied that they could put mufflers on and then it would not be noisy. They do not ride close to the apartments and the traffic makes more noise than the motorcycles. Atty Meyers stated there are two laws involved: public nuisance and permission from the owners of the property. Mr. Benolkin asked if the city could give them a designated area. A young man stated that a police officer had told him that the Scot- land Green apartments were complaining. Atty Meyers told him that they have this right. Gene Evans, 5395 St. Stephen, stated that he was against motorcycles unless driven in a designated area. If one of his grandchildren stepped in front of them what is going to happen? He stated he has tried to talk to them nicely and have been told to go to hell. A percentage of bad ones are spoiling it for the good ones. He suggested forming a cycle club and let them enforce the others. Mr. Gustafson, County Rd. I and Long Lake Rd., said that he gave permission to kids to run on his back lots. The neighbors complained and it was very noisy. He also had a great rut in the ground. Mayor Johnson stated that they ought to try to get permission to ride where they want to ride. If you can't get permission, come up and talk to the park director and maybe he could find a place for you to ride. At 9:10 Mayor Johnson recessed the regular meeting again and called to order the public hearin o the u of the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Johnson explained that the Planning Commission and the City Council have spent ma ,.y hours working with a professional planner to revise, change and update the current plan. The purpose of this meeting is to hear comments and questions on the new comprehensive plan. He opened the meeting asking for questions from the floor. Jerry Fahrmann, 7448 Spring Lake Rd., stated that he hadn't seen the plan but wanted to know where there is a new development of any kind, if there are provisions for holding water. Mayor Johnson replied that thereis presently a drainage study being made of the city. The Council is very mindful of this problem. Mr. Fahrmann stated that what he had in mind was holding ponds. Could you design the drainage for each area individually? Councilman Shelquist stated that when Mounds View Square was developed the Rice Creek Watershed District instructed them to hold the water, and last spring this was proven to be disastrous but that might have been an unusual situation. Rice Creek may be turning their ideas around. About $35,000 of revEnue sharing is being spent to get an idea where the water drains and a recommendation as to what can be done. -4- Mr. Fahrmann asked regarding the low areas are they going to be filled in? Mayor Johnson replied that many low areas have been designated as flood plain areas so cannot be used for development purposes. Paul Veneer', Roseville, stated that his land is zoned commercial. In looking at a copy of your comprehensive plan it appears to be changed and he very much objects to that. Mayor Johnson stated that this does not change any zoning at all. From a planning standpoint it tells us what really should be the uses of the open land in the city. He illustrated on the map to familiarze the people with what they were trying to obtain. Robert Glazer stated that he would like to see the City take a more forceful position in opposition to any future upgrading of Red Oak Drive, along with construction of an interchange at Red Oak on new Highway 10. Mayor Johnson stated that future development of new Highway 10 is still in the planning stages and, apparently, some time away. He indicated that the Council has on several occasions written to the various local and state officials indicating the City's opposition to any plans for an interchange at Red Oak. Mr. Gustafson inquired as to how much control does the Metropolitan Council have? Mayor Johnson replied that this plan has been reviewed and approved by them. As a practical matter they had little to say about it. Councilman Baumgartner stated that if someone wanted to build a 500 home development without a sewer that would be significant and the Metropolitan Council would look into it. Changing water courses would be another item. Councilman Shelquist stated that the legislature has instructed them to help communities develop comprehensive plans. They demand that every community within the 7 county district come up with a comprehensive plan. Our plan reflects what we think Mounds View should be doing in the next few years. George Gustafson asked when the open meetings were held and Barbara Haake replied that letters were sent to all land owners, notices were put in papers, etc. In total about 125 citizens availed themselves of the public hearings. We were only required to have one hearing. Mayor Johnson stated that the Metropolitan Council has indicated that there are certain things we should be changing, so we will have to have another public hearing to talk about the changes. It is better to adopt the plan conditionally upon the changes being put into it, thereby not having to go through another public hearing. Councilman Shelquist stated that the Planning Commissic., should change it as changes are merited. If it requires another public hearing then we should hold one at that time. MSP (ShFlquist- Baumgartner)to adopt the revised Comprehensive Plan, Resolution #727, as submitted to us in the printing of July, 1975, by Midwest Planning and Research. A roll call vote was requested: Councilman Shelquist aye Councilman Hodges aye Councilman Baumgartner aye Councilman Pickar aye Mayor Johnson aye 5 ayes -5- Mayor Johnson thanked the Council and the Planning Commission and adjourned the special hearing and called back to order the rea:ular Council meeting at 10:00 pm. There was an inquiry regarding the ticketing of "funk" vehicles. Mayor Johnson stated that the administrator should be directed to inform the police department that, until the unlicensed vehicle problem is worked out, that they should hold off further enforcement of that particular ordinance. Councilman Baumgartner stated that that should specify only those vehicles involved in insurance cases. Mr. Gustafson, County Rd I and Long Lake Rd, stated that the ordinance should be amended to stated just what is junk and what isn't. Councilman Shelquist said that he didn't think we want to suspend the tagging of junk vehicles. The police department has to make a value judgment, which is a problem. He would suggest that the police department not issue final tags on recreational vehicles until this problem is resolved. Antique cars should also be addressed. Councilman Baumgartner stated that consideration should be given to people who have sons in the service and are keeping their cars for them. Atty Meyers stated that we have had people that are in no different situations that have had to pay fines. Councilman Pickar recommended a temporary moratorium on tagging all unlicensed vehicles for a two week period. MSP (Shelquist Baumgartner) that the police department be instructed to suspend issuing tags on recreational vehicles which are stored and not currently licensed pending consideration by the Council of the means of providing for these vehicles in the ordinance, with the stipulation that where such vehicles are that they be watched to be assured that they are licensed at least once each year. 4 ayes 1 nay Councilman Pickar suggested putting a temporary moratorium on all unlicensed vehicles until Ad. Achen has had a chance to study and offer a recommendation and felt that, in the above motion, only a part of the problem was covered. His neighbor has had his race car ticketed. Ad. Achen said that he would have something at the next agenda meeting. Councilman Shelquist stated that a provision for a special use permit and having the vehicle in a garage should take care of the problem. We have to decide whether we are going to enforce the ordinance or take it off the books. Perhaps we could amend it to require a covering with a tarp. Nancy Burmeister stated that there is a problem with insurance. The recreational vehicle is always subject to vandalism. Councilman Shelquist stated that you are talking about liability vs comprehensive insurance. Ms. Burmeister stated that you are varying from the law when you have a moratorium for two weeks. Councilman Pickar stated that if a question came up on an ordinance he would do the same thing again. Other forms of government do. MSP(Pickar- Johnson) for a temporary :moratorium on all unlicensed vehicles until Ad.Achen has had a chance to study the situation and has offered a recommendation. A roll call vote was requested. Councilman Shelquist nay Councilman Hodges aye Councilman Baumgartner nay Councilman Pickar aye Mayor Johnson nay Motion failed Harvey Melby, Sr., minor subdivision request for 8371 Eastwood Drive. Ad. Achen stated that the Planning Commission approved this request with the stipulation that an existing swimming pool and driveway be removed prior to issuance of a building permit. Mr. Melby said that the swimming pool has been removed and he has made a driveway out the back onto Greenwood and they are using it. He requested that the village take care of the assessments on Greenwood. The building inspector said he would have gravel brought out to 8372 Greenwood Mayor Johnson inquired as to what system the city has to follow up to make sure that what we say should be stipulated is done. Ad. Achen replied that it is in the file if the Council takes any action. Perhaps the city could set up another filing system for the city lots. MSP (Shelquist- Hodges) to approve the lot division for Harvey Melby, Sr. at 8371 Eastwood Drive, as recommended by the Planning Commission in their March 24, 1976, minutes. 5 ayes Moschkau minor subdivision request for 8330 Long Lake Road. Ad. Achen stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval with the stipulations requiring 5 foot utility easements on the back lot lines and removal of a shed before the signing of the deed. Co MSP (Johnson Shelquist) that we approve the minor subdivision request for Arthur Moschkau for 8330 Long Lake Rd, conditionally upon the receipt of a five foot easement on the back lot lines and removal of the shed before signing the deed. 5 ayes Receive petition for construction of Edgewood Drive between Hillview Road and County Rd I. Mayor Johnson stated that he thinks it is fine to have a public hearing but we should have the drainage study first. Councilman Baumgartner asked if we could have the public hearing after receipt of the drainage plan? Mayor Johnson said that they would keep the petition on file until the storm water drainage study is in. Mr.Eigenheer, 7860 Edgewood Drive, submitted the petition. MSP (Johnson Baumgartner) that we delay further action on this until receipt of the storm water study. 5 ayes Dwight Kasperbauer,5085 Edgewood Rd, asked if the Selmer Sakariason matter could be readdressed. Mayor Johnson asked what was to be reconsidered? Mr. Kasperbaur stated that he was the individual who wants to build on it and he would like his agent to discuss this briefly. Ken Sjodin, agent for Mr. Kasperbauer spoke: When they met with the Planning Commission they said that this would be approved conditioned upon removing the garage by June 30. Atty Meyers said that this was not approved by the Council, just set a public hearing. -7- Mr. Sjodin asked if this couldn't be approved conditionally to avoid undue hardship. There should be some provision to accommodate a situation like this. It is obvious that the building is being torn down. Mayor Johnson told him that if he tears down the building within two weeks go ahead and bring in a hardshell copy to the Council in two weeks. Ad. Achen told him that the letter he was sent explained this all to him. It was delayed three months before the city got it. Mr. Sjodin asked if there was a way to facilitate it? Atty Meyers told him that he still doesn't have a plat. Right now we cannot allow two houses on one lot. Ad. Achen suggested that an alternative would be to revise the plat and eliminate Lot 3. Mayor Johnson asked how quickly they could have the house torn down? Mr. Sjodin stated about 10 days, maybe. Mayor Johnson told him he could have the final plat signed and approved by combining Lots 1,2, and 3 and Lots 4 and 5. Mr. Sjodin asked if they could just subdivide Lot 1 now and proceed with the rest later. Councilman Shelquist told him that he would be subjecting himself to more hearings before the Planning Commission and additional fees. MSP (Shelquist- Hodges) to recnnsider the Selmer Sakariason subdivision. 5 ayes MSP (Shelquist Baumgartner) that we approve the Selmer Sakariason subdivision as previously stated and with the conditions previously attached to it, but that in addition we approve an alternative subdivision of the parcel into two lots, one lot consisting of the platted Lots 2,3,4 5 and the other lot being platted Lot 1, the final determination to be made by the subdividor at the time of submission of the hardshell plat. There will be additional fees because of a new hearing with the Planning Commission. A roll call vote was requested.

There is a recommendation from the Park Director to award the tree removal contract for tree removal at Edgewood Jr. High to AAA Tree Removal Service. The school district has requested that we contract for the tree removal since we have a forester and they will pay for it. -8- Councilman Shelquist asked if the contract is signed and if the work is done inadequately are we liable? ti Ad. Achen replied that our alternative is to give it back to the school We are only involved because we have the expertise and the staff. MSP (Johnson Hodges) that we award the contract to the AAA Tree Removal Service >for removal of a diseased tree on the Edgewood School property for $8,630 conditioned upon receipt of a valid bid bond and also on the condition of receipt of a performance bond equal to 150% of the bid. 4 ayes 1 nay MSP (Shelquist- Hodges) before the contract is school district to the to amend the above motion to the effect that awarded that a valid purchase order from the city guaranteeing reimbursement be obtained. 5 ayes Award general diseased tree removal services contract.
