July 22, 1999
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator
Re: July 26,1999 City Council Meeting
We actually have three meetings on Monday, the special work session, the regular meeting and
the EDA. There's what we have:
Special Work Session, Item 1 - Review of Assistant to the City Administrator Options:
Please see my memo.
Item 2 - Year 2000 Budget Priorities: With the summer quickly moving along, we are within
seven weeks of setting the preliminary levy. For the time devoted to this issue, I suggest the
Council talk about the budget in general terms, such as the direction the Council would like to
see the organization go, any particular capital outlay or major initiatives, levy and other revenue
levels and service levels. Bruce will be there with me Monday for the discussion. Also, the
Council will likely want a real budget work session fairly soon, such as August 16.
Regular Meeting Agenda, Item 7B on Consent Agenda: In following up on discussion of
laptop for council members, this item would provide the funds to do so from the contingency
account. Roughly speaking, laptops should run around $2,500 apiece.
Item lOD - WMS License Suspension: Mike will cover this and by meeting time it may be
taken care of . Apparently WMS has not been submitting the recycling reports they are required
to. Naturally, a suspension can create a lot of problems for customers and this will need to be
talked about Monday night.
Item 10F - Right of Way Ordinance: Bob Long will review this with the Council Monday
evening. As of this writing I do not have an improved version for Council packets and this may
have to come at the meeting.
Item 10G - TIF Parcel Decertification: I received a signed council inquiry from four council
members to have the Holiday and Realife parcels prepared for decertification. Since the last time
the Council discussed this, the direction was to wait until the city's of use was reviewed. Those
meetings have taken place with no conclusion yet. Bruce has prepared a resolution following the
request of the council inquiry.
Item 10H - Charter Provision Correction: During the three years plus I have been with the city
the charter has not had a provision limiting term lengths despite a referendum from 1994 to do
so. Charter Chair Julie Olson however did confirm with the Secretary of State's office that the
provision was filed there, and therefore all city copies of the charter need to be updated. While
this provision is considered unconstitutional, the process for placing it in the charter does seem to
have been done correctly. I am not clear as to why the provision did not make it into the charter,
but seeing that is it appropriate to make it so, I felt advising the Council of this was in order.
This is all for now. I will be out of the office for the latter half of next week attending my first
League of Minnesota Cities Board retreat. See you Monday.

City Administrator Whiting extended his congratulations to his assistant, Cari Schmidt on her
new position as City Administrator for the City of St. Joseph. He stated that, at this time, he had
no proposal for filling the position vacated by her departure, and added that the Council might
wish to discuss this matter at their next meeting or Work Session. He stated that Ms. Schmidt
would do well in her new position, and that the City's loss would be the City of St. Joseph's
gain. He noted that Ms. Schmidt's last day with the City of Mounds View would be August 6,
1999.
2 c:\admin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
Mayor Coughlin stated that Ms. Schmidt brought great skill and talent to her position with the
City, and added that she has done a great job. He stated that through her skills and abilities, she
has helped make the City of Mounds View a better place.
Council Member Marty stated that they all wished Ms. Schmidt the very best, and that she would
be missed. He stated that the Council would like to have her input, in regard to how her position
would be best filled. He suggested that the Department Heads and staff provide
recommendations regarding the matter, and attempt to address the issue at soon as possible. He
noted that this would be a difficult position to fill, in light of Ms. Schmidt's capabilities. He
added that Ms. Schmidt had much insight, and that he respected her for that.
Mayor Coughlin stated that it was the consensus of the Council to direct staff to research the
matter of filling the upcoming vacancy, and provide their recommendations at the next Work
Session.
Council Member Quick extended his congratulations and best wishes to Ms. Schmidt, and added
that she would be missed.

and remain with the City of Mounds View. She stated that the decision was a difficult one for
Ms. Schmidt, and that this was a great opportunity for her. She stated that Ms. Schmidt would be
missed, and extended her best wishes. She added that the City of St. Joseph would be gaining a
terrific person.
Assistant to the City Administrator Schmidt thanked the Mayor, Council, and City Administrator
for their kind words, adding that it had been a difficult decision, but a great opportunity that she
did not want to pass up. She added that her predecessor would have a great City to work for.
Ms. Schmidt reported that the City's custodian, Richard Kujawa had given his notice, his last day
being the second of July. She commented that the matter of hiring a new j anitorial service would
normally be discussed at the Work Session, however, in light of the current situation, staff felt it
was necessary to address the matter as soon as possible. She stated that staff had announced the
position in the Focus Newspaper and sent the advertisement to all metropolitan cities, and had
received no responses. She stated that staff had solicited bids from four different cleaning
business, and that Coverall's was the lowest bidder. She stated that staff requested direction
concerning how to proceed.
Ms. Schmidt stated that the majority of the cleaning companies who submitted bids did provide
their own supplies which, until this point, have been furnished by the City. She stated that this
would represent savings to the City.
3 c:\admin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
Council Member Marty stated that the Council should act upon this matter as soon as possible
and asked for staff's recommendation. Ms. Schmidt stated that staff would accept the lowest bid,
as presented by Coverall's cleaning service.
Council Member Stigney inquired regarding the length of the contract. Ms. Schmidt stated that it
was a month-to-month contract requiring a thirty -day notice, should the City reconsider.
Council Member Marty asked how soon they could start. Ms. Schmidt stated that they could
start within the week, if they were notified immediately.

COUNCIL BUSINESS
A. Public Hearing and Introduction (First Reading) of Ordinance 632, an
ordinance amending Chapter 1113 of the Zoning Code pertaining to
permitted uses within the B-2, Limited Business Zoning District
Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m.
Planning Associate Ericson stated that this was an ordinance which amended the Zoning Code in
regard to the B-2, Limited Business Zoning Districts, to permit private educational facilities as
an allowed use within the Zoning District. He stated that the ordinance had been reviewed by
legal staff and would require one change prior to Second Reading, that is that all of the permitted
5 c:\admin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
uses be listed under Subdivision 1, as well as the addition of private education facilities. He
stated that staff would present a revised ordinance for the Second Reading.
Ericson stated that the City has received an application from Calvin Academy to operate a
private education facility within Silver View Plaza, located at 2540 Highway 10. He stated that
while the intent of the Zoning District does present that this type of use would be permitted, the
Code does not specifically allow for it. He stated that, in an effort to eliminate any questions
regarding this type of use, staff proposes that it be added to the list of permitted uses, adding that
if no action is taken, Calvin Academy would operate and function by virtue of an administrative
Code interpretation.
Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 7:34 p.m.
Council Member Marty asked if the applicant, as an educational facility, would be tax-exempt.
Ericson stated that this was a lease operation, noting that the owners of Silver View Plaza would
pay taxes, regardless of who leased from them.
Council Member Stigney stated that, in light of the effort to clean up the Code, the present
language may be limiting. He suggested the phrase "private educational or instructional
facilities." Ericson agreed that this was the intent of the amendment, and they could utilize this
wording to make it more explicit.
Council Member Quick asked if this would prohibit the Mounds View Public School District
from leasing a space in the district, and utilizing it for instructional purposes. Ericson stated that
it would not. Mayor Coughlin suggested the omission of the word "private," and to simply
indicate "educational or instructional facilities."
City Attorney Long stated that this broader definition of the use would be preferable, so as to
prevent a question of interpretation in the future.
Mayor Coughlin stated that it was the consensus of the Council to amend the language of the
ordinance to indicate "educational or instructional facilities."
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Waive the Reading, and Approve First Reading of
Planning Commission Resolution No. 585-99, a Resolution Recommending Adoption of
Proposed Ordinance 632, and Ordinance Amending Chapter 1113 of the Mounds View Zoning
Code Pertaining to Permitted Uses Within the B-2, Limited Business District; Special Planning
Case No. SP -082-99, as amended.
Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion Carried.
B. Public Hearing regarding the Street Committee Policies Report.
6 cAadmin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:38 p.m.
Director of Public Works Ulrich stated that this was the second time this matter had come before
the Council for discussion. He reviewed the Streets Policies Committee recommendations as
follows:
1. The standard from which to start considering a street improvement should be based on the
current design of the street.
2. Streets should be designed to provide a safe driving surface, but no wider than necessary
to minimize the amount of impervious surface. The City will consider all drainage
options.
3. Determine the concerns of the residents who are involved in the project through a City -
sponsored questionnaire and follow up with additional informational meetings with those
residents before Council approves action. The feasibility study is to incorporate the
residents' issues and concerns.
4. The City integrates a flexible 18 to 36 month time schedule for street reconstruction
proj ects.
5. Integrate certifying the MSA road system as complete into the City's overall project
improvement plan.
6. The City considers bonding and/or creating interest -bearing -only funds to contribute
toward the City's share of reconstruction costs.
7. Reduce the property owners' assessment from 50 percent to 20-25 percent of the
reconstruction project costs.
House Representative Barbara Haake extended her appreciation to all those who assisted in the
preparation of the Streets Policies Committee Report. She stated that they had done a wonderful
job, and that the recommendations were very good. She stated that, as they moved forward, the
recommendations would the provide the community the opportunity to communicate their
desires as to the kind of streets they desired in their neighborhoods, and that the citizens of
Mounds View would come to feel a sense of ownership in that regard. She thanked the Council
for their consideration of the issues. She noted that the street she resides upon is currently being
resurfaced, and added that Spring Lake Road and County Road I should be completed in
approximately one week. She thanked Director of Public Works Ulrich for his assistance in this
area as well.
7 cAadmin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
Jim Schmidt, 5446 Ericson Road, stated that he appreciated the opportunity to participate with
the Committee. He stated that he believed the policies and recommendations they had made
were sound. He expressed his particular appreciation to City Administrator Whiting for his role
in mediating the different parties' concerns. He noted that it was important to relay to the public
the necessity of addressing the street issues. He commented that the streets were not currently in
very good shape, many having been paved years ago. He stated that Director of Public Works
Ulrich had the responsibility of maintaining these streets, and the expense is probably more than
it should be, given the age of the facilities. He stated that the contemplation of awarding a Chip
Seal at this time of year results from this preparation, noting that many communities do this type
of work in May and June. He stated that it was very important to maintain the streets in the
community, in consideration of the property values. He stated that the informational exchange,
questionnaires and participation of the community in the projects that will impact them would
ultimately communicate the necessity of addressing the street issues. He expressed his
appreciation to the City staff for their efforts in this regard.
City Administrator Whiting stated that the next step would be to direct staff to review the
existing ordinances and resolutions that have guided the City's policies for street improvements
in the past, and draft the changes that reflect the policies that the Street Policies Committee and
Council have reviewed. He stated that these revisions could be adopted sometime thereafter,
adding that the timing is such that they will be able to get some of this done by late summer to
early fall, and the plans for future projects could be made at that point.
Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 7:43 p.m.
Council Member Marty stated that he thought the reduction of the immediate assessment to the
citizens from 50 percent to 20-25 percent was a big step. He stated that everyone would notice a
little change, but that when it came time to redo his or her particular street, it wouldn't be so
difficult to swallow as prior City policy. He extended his appreciation to the Committee for all of
their hard work.
Mayor Coughlin stated that it was the consensus of the Council to follow the recommendation of
the City Administrator, and direct staff to research the previous resolutions and policies to
determine all of the possible impacts of adoption of all or some of the Street Policies Committee
recommendations. He stated that the matter be would be brought forward for further discussion
at a future Work Session.
C. Public Hearing and Second Reading for Ordinance 634, an Ordinance
implementing a franchise fee on Reliant Energy Minnegasco Natural Gas
Operations within the City of Mounds View.
Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:46 p.m.
8 c:\admin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
There was no public input.
Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:46 p.m
Council Member Stigney explained that this ordinance was to allow the City to implement a
franchise fee upon Reliant Energy Minnegasco who is currently serving Zep Manufacturing and
the City golf course, and nothing else within the City of Mounds View at this time.
City Attorney Long advised the Council to direct staff to fill in the blank space in Subdivision 2
of Ordinance 634 to indicate "July," and that the blank space in Subdivision 6 reflect the same
date as the expiration of the Northern States Power franchise fee agreement.
Mayor Coughlin stated that it was the consensus of the Council to follow the City Attorney's
advisement.
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Thomason. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Ordinance 634, an
Ordinance Implementing a Franchise Fee on Reliant Energy Minnegasco Natural Gas Operations
within the City of Mounds View.
Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried.
D. Legislative Report — House Representative Barbara Haake
House Representative Haake stated that it was very good to be out in the public again. She stated
that she had attended the Festival in the Park and the parade, which were wonderful, and that the
following day she assisted the Lion's with their hot dogs, brats and nachos, and she enjoyed that
very much as well. She stated that the people who work so hard on the Festival in the Park
always do a wonderful job.
Representative Haake congratulated Mayor Coughlin and Council Member Marty on their new
roles in fatherhood. She stated that Assistant to the City Administrator Schmidt would be
missed, adding that having her own position as a City Administrator was a fabulous opportunity
for her. She stated that Ms. Schmidt, with a law degree behind her, had great things in store for
her, and would go far.
Representative Haake reported on the recent Session Update. She stated that there was presently
a surplus of 2.9 billion dollars within the state budget. She stated that she was aware that the
City had wanted the levy limits lifted, however, the House had decided to continue those limits
for another year. She stated that she was aware that this would be difficult for communities, and
that she understood that. She noted, however, it was done in consideration by the Leadership in
the House of Representatives. The Senate and the Governor desire to provide that the people
realize the property tax rebate, or at least a reduction in taxes. She added that this would
9 cAadmin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
continue for another year. She stated that there may have been concern, in regard to lifting the
levy limits, that this might absorb the property tax relief, and that their intent was to indicate to
the people that they had a little bit of a break.
Representative Haake reported that the state currently had a 24 billion dollar budget, and of that,
approximately one third, 7.9 billion dollars, would be set aside for schools, which represents
approximately fifty percent of the property tax assessment. She remarked that the state does pay
a large amount for schools. She reported that they had recently passed an 80 million -dollar levy
on a bonding issue, for maintenance within the Mounds View School District. She stated that
this issue was not only a concern in Mounds View, and is still being discussed in the legislature
in regard to other school districts, which were not so fortunate.
Representative Haake stated that there was a 7.9 billion -dollar budget for education, with an
increase of 14 percent over the next two years. She stated that this translated into an additional
512 dollars per pupil aid, as compared to the current 370 dollars per child. She noted that both
Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives had desired to change the
educational profiles to revert to the previous more rigorous standards, however, no action was
taken by the Senate or Governor in this regard, and therefore the profiles would continue
unchanged.
Representative Haake reported that the state's 2.9 billion -dollar surplus had been consolidated
into a tax relief package, and that 1.3 billion would be given back to the taxpayers in a one time
sales tax rebate, which was scheduled for sometime in August or September, October at the
latest. She stated there would be an additional 1.6 billion in permanent income tax cuts, which is
the largest income tax cut in state history, and the largest tax rebate ever. She noted that the
average family would receive approximately 700 dollars in the sales tax rebate. She cited the
statistics of the rebate amounts from a table that she would be distributing within the community.
Representative Haake reported that the House of Representatives had provided an amortization
process, which would phase out undesirable businesses within two years. She stated that this
would apply to such businesses as adult bookstores, theaters, and similar adult -only types of
businesses, and that this would require no payment to the owner for their particular business, but
is approached as a property purchase. She stated that any other undesirable businesses would
require such measures as eminent domain, TIF District, Conditional Use or the Comprehensive
Plan as a means to eliminate them from the community. This, she noted, was in consideration of
the determination that the owner should be compensated for their business if they are asked to
leave the community.
Representative Haake stated that Tax Increment Funds, if put into place three years ago, would
have applied to the Mounds View Community Center, as they may not be utilized for community
centers or recreational activities anymore. She stated that, in regard to property tax reform, there
has been an increase in state aid to offset the reduction of commercial, industrial and personal
10 c:\admin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
property taxes. She stated that additional monies would be provided to local governments, to
help pay for the increased spending they have incurred. She stated that, in an effort to counteract
a shifting in those property taxes, they have established an Education Homestead Credit, which
in 1999 will amount to 145 million dollars. She stated that the 1999 Omnibus Tax bill would
provide an additional 116.9 million dollars for the next biennium. She added that they had
projected into 2002 and 2003 with another 268.3 million dollars to offset that shift created by the
third phase of the property tax reform.
Representative Haake stated that they had received comments from some cities indicating it
appeared as if the House of Representatives did not trust them. She stated that she had learned
there are "seven sides to an issue," and that this was what was occurring at the state level. She
commented that she was aware that the state was making it difficult for city government, but
noted that she had learned, according to the State Auditor's Report, spending by cities has
increased nearly 2.5 times the rate of inflation between the years of 1985 and 1996. She stated
that this represents a 90.8 percent increase, compared to the inflation rate of 39 percent over that
eleven -year period, adding that this goes to the theory that "if we're going to give the people
breaks, they don't want the cities coming back for more."
Representative Haake reported on the issue of State Emission Testing. She noted that 7 of every
8 dollars collected for these tests, goes to the emission tester. She stated that they have seen a
steady decline of 6 percent in carbon monoxide levels, since 1987. She stated that in July of
1991, they had been told they would see a 25 to 30 percent decrease in carbon monoxide
emissions in the twin city area, and that the actual decline does not represent that amount. She
noted that only 20 percent of the emission testing process applies to hydrocarbons, which are
produced through evaporation, and that a different testing process would be required to properly
assess those emissions. She stated that, as it is, the ozone layer will not be an issue for five to ten
years, and therefore carbon monoxide emission testing will be phased out pursuant to a bill that
she has authored, on March 1, 2000, subject to approval of the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Representative Haake reported on the Airport Bill, noting that she had found this to be one of the
most controversial issues introduced at the House of Representatives. She stated that it had been
suggested she present the issue on a regional basis, rather than an issue of concern to the City of
Mounds View which it has been for the past 30 to 40 years. She stated that the bill consists of
two parts. One component indicates that they establish in number, 4000 feet as a minor airport,
and that anything above that would be an considered an intermediate or higher designation. The
other component of the bill is that it be on a regional basis, which requires that the determination
of the matters concerning runway length and size, and airport sizes, should be a legislative
decision, and not that of the Metropolitan Airport Commission. She stated that the Metropolitan
Airport Commission is an appointed body, as they don't believe they should make these
determinations which impact so many people.
11 c:\admin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
Representative Haake stated that she had been to the Anoka County Airport, and had
communicated with pilots, and received many letters from the public regarding their concerns.
She stated that they had emphasized their desire for 5000 -foot runways with an ILS, to assist in
landing and safety concerns. She noted that this would also bring in slightly larger aircraft,
adding that the local airport was already slated for four runways. She stated that she was
attempting to communicate to the pilots that although they are in favor of the larger runways,
they would have to understand, if they are allowed, they would no longer be considered a
"pasture" airport. She stated that when the Metropolitan Airport Commission acts upon
something they generally have a "grand plan," and if they agree to allow the larger runways, the
Anoka County Airport will probably end up being the intermediate airport for the Twin Cities.
Representative Haake stated that Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Airport Commission's
Aviation Guide of 1986 indicated a plan that involved researching another reliever airport site in
the northwest portion of the Twin City area. She stated that this was not noted in the new plan,
which indicated to her that they believed they would have their way, and that the site will
probably be the Anoka County Airport. She stated that they had offered a compromise to this
possibility, however, it was rejected.
Representative Haake stated that amidst the negotiations, her bill is still alive, and will come
back for consideration in the February Session. She stated that it has progressed to the Rules
Committee, and that Speaker of the House Sviggum, and Majority Leader Pawlenty had
promised they would provide assistance to her in regard to the bill, however, not until next year.
Representative Haake stated that she had always believed that the word "politics" stood for
"people, principle and policy." She remarked that she had recently learned that politics is power,
and that politics were involved in the decision making process on this issue. She stated, however,
that this would not deter them from their goals. She stated that City Attorney Long and Attorney
John Choi had worked very diligently to get this bill passed, however, by the time it got to the
Transportation Committee, it was subject to a straight party line vote. She stated that she
believed the decision was made based upon power, and not the good policy of the bill.
Mayor Coughlin expressed his appreciation to Representative Haake for her leadership in the
airport issue, and numerous other issues not as well known. He added that he thanked her very
much for the tenacity she has shown in the airport issue, and that it was fascinating to have been
a participant in the process in a small way, testifying with her and working closely with her. He
stated that it has been an honor and a pleasure to work with her on this and other issues.
Mayor Coughlin inquired regarding the process that determined that City purchases are still
subject to sales tax.
Representative Haake stated that the process was in consideration of the entire tax cut menu, and
that they had wanted to see how they could reach the most people, most effectively. She stated
that the underlying consideration was if they made cities purchases exempt from tax, they would
12 c:\admin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
possibly make five people on the Council happy, and that this would not be enough impact on
the citizens. She stated that this issue would continue to be researched and would be revisited in
the future. She noted, however, that the closest they came to this type of policy, was to allow
counties to be exempt from sales tax on the purchase of equipment for road maintenance, which
was rejected in the end as well.
Representative Haake commented on the affects of unicameral broadcasting upon the political
process, indicating that she would like to see it in a non-partisan format, as was utilized at the
state level, prior to 1972, at which time the members were simply labeled conservative or liberal.
She stated that the partisanship is probably the most difficult roadblock to the political process.
She stated that she was in favor of unicameral broadcasting, but believed the State of Minnesota
would not accept it. She stated that there were 201 members in the House of Representatives and
that she did not believe that many were necessary. She stated that they were presently organizing
a task force of thirteen appointees, to research such issues as budgetary items, privatization, and
duplication of services,
Council Member Marty commended Representative Haake for her energy and tenacity in
following through with what she presented in her election platform. He expressed his
appreciation for her representation of the Mounds View area and their concerns, noting that he
did not feel this in the past representative. He noted her comment regarding "seven sides to an
issue," and stated that upon his election to the Council, he had learned that there were at least
five sides. He added that her experience was somewhat disheartening to him.
Council Member Marty requested clarification of the Education Homestead Credit.
Representative Haake stated that the Education Homestead Credit was a result of the reduction of
commercial, industrial and personal property tax, and was created to offset the decrease of funds
in that area. She stated that, as educational services are probably the highest assessment upon
property taxes, they had established this Credit to provide additional monies to be utilized by
cities as required in this area.
Council Member Stigney commented on Representative Haake's statement regarding the
definition of politics, noting that he would like to add persuasiveness to the list, and that she
certainly possessed the power of persuasion. He added that she represented his views.
Representative Haake thanked Council Member Stigney for his compliment, and added that she
couldn't have done it without the support of the Mayor, Council Members, City Attorney Long,
and City Administrator Whiting. She added that she does fight for what she feels is right, and
enjoyed doing that. She stated that she really wants to win on the airport issue.
Mayor Coughlin thanked Representative Haake for her update, reiterating that it was a pleasure
to work with her.

E. Setting a Special City Council Work Session regarding the Year 2000 Budget
Priorities for Monday, July 26,1999 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Mayor Coughlin stated that this Special Session was scheduled prior to the Council Meeting on
July 26.
City Administrator Whiting requested that the Session include discussion of the addition of a
staff person to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Assistant to the City Administrator
Schmidt.
Mayor Coughlin agreed, stating that they should do this as soon as possible so that they might
utilize Ms. Schmidt's input for this discussion.
MOTION/SECOND: Thomason/Stigney. To Approve Setting a Special City Council Work
Session Regarding the Year 2000 Budget Priorities for Monday, July 26, 1999 at 6:00 p.m. in the
Council Chambers.
Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried.
F. Council approval of the hiring of William Clark for the position of Police
Chief.
City Administrator Whiting stated that pursuant to discussion at the prior Council Meeting, Mr.
Brimeyer had spoken with Mr. Clark regarding the question of the starting wage which had come
forward. He stated that this has been reformulated to reflect the beginning salary of the existing
Step 2, which is $57,730. He stated that there would be a performance evaluation at six months,
whereupon Mr. Clark would advance to the next step, with advancement to step 4 by the end of
one year. He stated that wage increases after that point would be according to the pay plan,
which was a bit less than the Council had agreed to. He stated that some language changes had
been discussed at the prior meeting, and they had been incorporated into the proposal. He stated
that he had a brief conversation with Mr. Clark who indicated that he is awaiting word from the
City Council regarding the matter. City Administrator Whiting stated that once Council action is
taken, he would notify Mr. Clark, who would then submit his 30 -day notice to the City of
Benson. He stated that Mr. Clark's starting date would be August 16,1999.
Council Member Stigney stated for the record, that this agreement says in effect, Mr. Clark will
be subject to all the management policies of non-union police members, and not those of union
members.
MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomason. To Approve the Hiring of William Clark for the Position
of Police Chief.
14 c:\admin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried.
Mayor Coughlin requested that City Administrator notify Mr. Clark as soon as possible.
G. Presentation'of the appointments of Dawn Little, Theresa Lexcen, and Rich
Sonterre to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Mayor Coughlin presented the Council Members with the names of the following residents for
their consideration for appointment to the Parks and Recreation Commission. He stated that as
previously noted, Pamela Starr and Scott Dentz have both resigned from the commission
recently, and two of the three recommended appointments were to fill those unexpired terms. He
stated that the final seat on the commission is a newly created position to round out the seats to
nine members, adding that upon closer inspection of the appointment records, there were eight
members appointed to a seven member commission. The expansion to nine members was to
keep the present membership, yet have the membership be an odd number so as to prevent any
possible tie votes.
Mayor Coughlin stated that the recommended appointments are as follows:
Dawn Little - Term to expire December 31, 2000 (unexpired term of Pamela Starr)
Theresa Lexcen — Term to expire December 31, 2000 (unexpired term of Scott Denz)
Rich Sonterre — Term to expire December 31, 2001 (new position)
Mayor Coughlin requested that, for continued record keeping, the Council reconfirm the seated
members of the commission along with their respective terms as follows:
Terms expiring December 31, 1999:
Mary Benz
Gary Stevenson
Frank Silvis
Dave Long
Sherry Gunn
Terms expiring December 31, 2000:
Stan McDonald
Council Member Marty stated, as reflected in the prior Council Meeting minutes, that the City of
Minnetonka had revised their previous policy of appointment to commissions by the Mayor, and
voted on by the Council, to require all people applying to different commissions to apply to the
Council directly. He stated that they would then be interviewed at a Work Session, and voted
15 cAadmin\minutes\7-12-99.cc
upon by the Council. He stated that this was done so as to provide the entire Council familiarity
with the applicants, and their reasons for applying to the commissions. He suggested that this
matter be discussed at a future Work Session.
Mayor Coughlin stated that it was the consensus of the Council to address this issue at a future
Work Session. He requested City Administrator Whiting add the item to the Work Session
Agenda for further consideration.
MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomason. To Approve the Appointment of Dawn Little, Theresa
Lexcen, and Rich Sonterre to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator
From: Bruce A. Kessel, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Budget transfer of $12,500 from General Fund's contingency fund to
City Council capital equipment fund for laptop computers for the
City Council
Date of Report: July 16, 1999
It is my understanding that the City Council has requested that laptop computers be made
available to them in order that they can access City business over the internet.
The City presently has one laptop that is approximately 6 years old. Jim Hess has examined the
laptop and has indicated that the computer would need approximately $500 worth of
enhancements to try to access the internet, however, due to the age of the equipment, there is no
guarantee that the enhancements would be successful in actually accessing the internet. Also,
even if it was able to access the internet, the speed and quality would be poor at best, therefore, it
was determined that it would not be a wise use of City resources to continue to explore
upgrading the existing laptop.
The purchase price of a new laptop with software and sales tax is approximately $2,500. If we
were to purchase laptops for all five council members, the total cost would be $12,500. The 1999
budget did not anticipate this need, and no capital items were budgeted in the City Council
department of the General Fund. Therefore, if we are to proceed with the purchase of one or
more laptops, a budget transfer will have to be made. The Council had budgeted $49,000 in the
General Fund and a portion of this could be transferred to proceed with this purchase.

Item Title/Subject: CONTRACTOR LICENSES FOR APPROVAL
Meeting Date: July 26, 1999
Please consider the following contractor licenses for approval. The majority of the licenses listed
are renewals since contractor licenses expire on June 30, 1999. Because of the new expiration
date of December 30, the following licenses are for six months instead of one year and, therefore,
will expire on December 30, 1999. All applicants have submitted appropriate fees and proof of
insurance. All licenses are renewals unless noted "NEW' after the company name. Those
licenses defined as "new" include all applicants that have never been licensed with the City or have
not been licensed within the past two years. Those defined as "renewal" were licensed last year.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor & City Council
From: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and consideration of Resolution 5348, a resolution
approving the issuance of a conditional use permit for an over -sized
garage at 8059 Red Oak Drive
Date of Report: July 21, 1999
Background:
8059 Red Oak Drive is located north of Highway 10, between Hillview and Sherwood Roads.
The area of the subject property --an interior lot --is approximately 16,142 square feet. The house
is set back approximately 68 feet from the street, with the detached garage situated behind the
house. The house, at approximately 960 square feet, is presently larger than the existing two -stall
garage, which is 480 square feet. The applicant proposes to construct a 520 square -foot addition
to the rear of the garage, maintaining the same width of the existing garage. The roof line of the
addition will tie in perpendicularly to the existing garage and will either be of the same height or a
foot or so lower. In addition to the garage, there is also a 130 square -foot shed in the backyard,
which will be moved further back to allow for the garage expansion.
The Planning Commission heard this request at its meeting on July 21, 1999 and after some
discussion concerning the request, approved Resolution 588-99, a resolution recommending to
the City Council approval of the CUP with stipulations.
Analysis:
A Conditional Use Permit is required due to the size of the proposed garage. The size of the
proposed garage would be 1,000 square feet, which is comparable to the size of the home. While
it would be larger, there would not exist any proportional imbalance between the home and
garage. The proposed addition to and location of the garage would not interfere with any future
expansion plans.
Dimensional Criteria
All of the dimensional criteria associated with this request --setbacks, spacing between buildings,
width of proposed garage, and the numbers of doors --satisfy the requirements as stated in Chapter
1104 of the Zoning Code. The proposed garage would be about 100 feet from both front and
rear property lines and is setback from the side of the property by five feet. The total square
footage of the garage, garage addition and shed is 1,130 square feet, which would comprise about

8059 Red Oak Drive
July 26, 1999
Page 2
12.5 percent of the rear yard area. The maximum coverage allowed is 20 percent.
Adverse Effects and CUP Criteria
The City Code, in Section 1125.01, Subd. 1 states that the Planning Commission shall examine
the possible adverse effects of a conditional use permit request prior to making a
recommendation. The following represent those items explicitly stated in the Code:
Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential
areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and
residential property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 8059
Red Oak Drive, as low-density residential. This proposal does not conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The Geographical Area Involved.
4. The Character of the Surrounding Area
In this area of Mounds View, most of the lots are larger than the subject property. The
homes are generally of a similar style architecture and were built around the same time,
although the subject home is newer and is larger than those in the immediate area. Many
of the homes in the immediate area have larger garages, most of which are detached as in
this proposal. A larger garage on the subject property would not appear out of place.
Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
Adding to the existing garage will have an immediate positive impact on the value of the
subject property. At 1,000 square feet, set back from the street as far as it is, this garage
addition probably would not depreciate the surrounding area in any way.
5. The demonstrated need for such a use.
The existing garage --while a two stall garage-- is considered fairly small by today's standards.
With multi -car families being the norm rather than the exception, the need for more garage
space becomes an issue. This is the case with the applicants --both of whom have vehicles as
do their children, in addition to a boat. Clearly the need is evident.
This proposal appears to satisfy the adverse effects criteria. Also in Section 1125.0 1, the Planning
Commission is to examine the criteria for granting a conditional use permit, which are outlined in
Section 1125.01, Sub 3b:
(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other
public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
(7) The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
Allen & Joy Dick CUP Request
8059 Red Oak Drive
July 26, 1999
Page 3
(8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
Adding on to a small garage would not create a greater impact on existing public facilities,
parks, schools or services, on utilities or access roads, nor would it create an increase in
traffic on adjacent streets.
(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and
there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land.
(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon
adjacent residential properties.
Because the house is set back further than is typical, and because the garage is situated
behind the house, there would be substantial public screening from this accessory
structure. In terms of its relationship with the two adjoining properties, the backyard of
the subject property is well shielded by privacy fencing and tall trees and bushes on either
side and is separated by distance from the property to the rear. In staff's opinion, all
properties are completely screened from the proposed garage addition.
(4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of
the City and to the existing land use.
(5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning
district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
(6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Garages and detached accessory outbuildings are typical uses in residential areas, and
allow for the storage of vehicles and yard and garden equipment.
Staff believes that the adverse affects of this development proposal are minimal and are far out-
weighed by the benefits. Staff also believes that it is desirable from a community perspective to
have property owners improve their properties with building expansions since the properties are
then usually kept in better order and may trigger other properties to do the same.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 5348, a resolution approving a
Conditional Use Permit for a 1,000 square foot garage at 8059 Red Oak Drive, requested by
Allen and Joy Dick, with stipulations.

MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 588-99
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO ALLOW FOR AN OVERSIZED GARAGE AT 8059 RED OAK DRIVE;
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE NO. 552-99
Whereas, Allen and Joy Dick have applied for a conditional use permit to allow for a
1,000 square -foot garage on property located at 8059 Red Oak Drive, zoned R-1, Single Family
Residential, legally described as follows:
The South 70.00 Feet of Lot 119,
Spring Lake Park Hillview, County of Ramsey
WHEREAS, there is currently a 480 square -foot garage and a 130 square -foot shed on
this lot; and,
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Zoning Code allows, with a conditional use permit, up to
1,400 square feet of garage/accessory building space on one lot; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents regarding
this proposal:
a. Planning Application
b. Zoning Map
C. Site Plan
d. Location Map
e. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the dimensional requirements as stated
in Chapter 1104 the Zoning Code for this proposal have been met; and,
Planning Commission Resolution 588-99
July 21, 1999
Page 2
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following findings that possible adverse
effects have been considered in its recommendation, as required by Section 1125.01 Subd. Le.:
Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas so as
to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness ofhousing units and residential property in
general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 8059 Red Oak Drive, as low-density
residential. This proposal does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
2, 4. The Geographical Area Involved & the Character of the Surrounding Area.
In this area of Mounds View, most of the lots are larger than the subject property. The
homes are generally of a similar style architecture and were built around the same time,
although the subject home is newer and is larger than those in the immediate area. Many
of the homes in the immediate area have larger garages, most of which are detached as in
this proposal. A larger garage on the subject property would not appear out of place.
Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
Adding to the existing garage will have an immediate positive impact on the value of the
subject property. At 1, 000 square feet, set back from the street as far as it is, this garage
addition probably would not depreciate the surrounding area in any way.
The demonstrated need for such a use.
The existing garage --while a two stalls-- is considered fairly small by today's standards. The
applicants both have vehicles as do their children. In addition, the applicants own a boat which they
would like to have stored within the garage. Clearly the need for additional garage space has been
demonstrated.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following findings regarding the criteria
for approval of a conditional use permit, as required by Section 1125.01 Subd. 3.b.:
1. The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other
public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
7. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided.
Adding on to a small garage would not create a greater impact on existing public facilities, parks,
schools or services, on utilities or access roads, nor would it create an increase in traffic on
adjacent streets.
2. The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and
there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land.
3. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon
0 0

adjacent residential properties.
Because the house is set back further than is typical, and because the garage is situated behind the
house, there would be substantial public screening from this accessory structure. In terms of its
relationship with the two adjoining properties, the backyard of the subject property is well shielded
by privacy fencing and tall trees and bushes on either side and is separated by distance from the
property to the rear. In staff's opinion, all properties are completely screened from the proposed
garage addition.
4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the
City and to the existing land use.
5. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning
district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Garages and detached accessory outbuildings are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for
the storage ofvehicles and yard and garden equipment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
recommends approval of the conditional use permit to allow for a 1,000 square -foot garage with
the following stipulations:
1. The conditional use permit shall be recorded with Ramsey County within 60 days
of City Council approval, and a receipt of such recording shall be provided to the
City of Mounds View.
2. The garage shall not be used for living space or other uses not allowed by the
district in which it is located or by the Zoning Code. Should the use change for
which the permit was granted, the conditional use permit shall become null and void.
The garage shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform building
appearance with the existing garage and house, which is to mean the garage shall at
a minimum be painted with the same color -scheme as the home.
4. All vehicles parked at the property shall be parked either upon the driveway's
improved surface or within the garage. At no time shall a vehicle be allowed to park
upon the grass or off of the improved surface.
5. The existing shed on the lot shall be moved to maintain a minimum six-foot setback
from the garage and five feet from the rear or side lot lines.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to
forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor & City Council
From: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and consideration of Resolution 5349, a resolution
approving the issuance of a conditional use permit for Thrifty Car
Rental, to be located at 2975 Highway 10
Date of Report: July 22, 1999
Background:
The applicant, Thrifty Car Rental, is seeking a conditional use permit to operate an auto rental
business at the property most recently utilized by Spots Quik Lube. As an accessory to the
principal rental operation, the applicant requests that they be allowed to sell rental vehicles from
the site as well. The applicant indicates that the proposed hours of business would be from 7:00
a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays and
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sundays. The applicants plan on repainting the building, expanding
the parking lot per the attached site plan and make landscaping improvements on the site.
The Planning Commission heard this request at their July 7 and July 21 meetings, and after some
discussion concerning the use and the potential impacts to the neighborhood, approved a
resolution recommending to the City Council that this CUP request be approved, with stipulations
that have been carried forward into the Council resolution.
Analysis:
Section 1114.04, Subd. 5 of the City Code requires that a conditional use permit be issued for
uses such as that proposed by the applicant. Specifically, it states that "Open or outdoor service,
sale and rental as a principal or accessory use and including sales in or from motorized vehicles,
trailers or wagons requires a Conditional Use Permit." The primary function of the proposed
business is the renting of automobiles, with an accessory use of sale of said rental vehicles.
Because of the restrictions placed upon auto sales operations, the extent of Thrifty's auto sales
may not exceed 30 percent of the gross floor area of the principal structure, which would translate
into no more than three vehicles. This location has a long history of automotive uses, and the
proposed use would not be inconsistent with the previous uses. The zoning of the property is
commercial although the comprehensive plan indicates a low density residential designation.
Because of the long-standing commercial history at this location and the impending revision to the
Thrifty Car Rental
2975 Highway 10
July 26, 1999
Page 2
comprehensive plan which could redesignate this parcel to a commercial use, staff and the
Planning Commission feels that the inconsistency with the comprehensive plan could be
temporary.
Site Plan:
The Planning Commission felt that with an operation such as this, there should be a maximum
number of vehicles allowed on the lot at any one time. The applicants agreed to this type of
restriction and drafted a site plan which the would like to implement, showing two areas for
expanded parking. With the increased parking area and space in front of the building, staff has
determined that no more than 23 vehicles should be allowed outside on the site.
Landscaping:
As some members of the Council may recall, the previous business occupant was to have made
certain landscaping improvements on the site in 1997, which, due to a supposed
misunderstanding, were not fully implemented. The applicant has indicated that they would be in
favor of upgrading the landscaping on the site by removing and replacing the dead or dying
plantings and by adding additional plantings to improve the appearance of the site. Staff has
requested that the City Forester accompany staff to the site so that there is some specific direction
in this regard.
Drainage:
Because the applicant proposes to increase the impervious surface area on the site, staff
forwarded the site plans to the City Engineer, who indicated that the amount of impervious
expansion was not significant enough to alter or degrade the drainage system.
Signage:
One of the issues that was discussed at the Planning Commission meetings was signage for the
sale of vehicles. The applicant had inquired as to the possibility of permanent signage for vehicle
sales. Staff explained that due to zoning restrictions and minimum requirements concerning auto
sales, any type of permanent signage should not be allowed. If the applicant chooses to have a
vehicle or vehicles for sale in accordance with the CUP provisions, they may only display signage
within the vehicles' interior.
pecifrc CUP Requirements:
The conditions placed upon rental businesses, as stated in Section 1114.04, Subd. 5 of the City
Code, are listed as follows with comments as to the relationship with the proposed use:
a. Outside services, sales and equipment rental connected with the principal use is limited to
thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal use.
This condition applies to those businesses having rental or sales as an accessory to another type of
use. Because auto rental is the principal use, the 30 percent restriction is not applicable. The
sales aspect of this business does need to comply with the 30 percent restriction. The building's
Thrifty Car Rental
2975 Highway 10
July 26, 1999
Page 3
gross floor area comprise 1,500 square feet, thus 450 square feet could be put towards the sale of
vehicles. This would translate into three average -sized vehicles. A condition would be added to
the resolution limiting the business to three vehicles for sale at any time.
b. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring identical uses or an
abutting R District in compliance with subdivisions 1103.08(l) through (5) of this Title.
The abutting residential properties are screened from any of the outdoor storage as the building
itself presents a screen, as well as the six-foot wood privacy fence around the rear and sides of the
property. This requirement is met.
c. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the
public right of way or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance with 1103.08,
Section 1103.09 of this Title.
The existing parking lot lights are mounted on standards 16 feet tall with the fixtures hooded to
prevent glare and light spillage onto adjoining properties. There are no plans to alter the lighting
in the parking lot and there have been no complaints about lighting when the previous business
was in operation. This requirement is met.
d. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust.
The grounds of this property have been sodded with the remaining area being impervious surface.
This requirement is met.
e. The open or outdoor service, sale or rental use does not take up parking space as required for
conformity of this Title.
Section 1121.13 of the City Code outlines the parking specifications by use within the City.
Because auto rental is not listed as a use within this section of the Code, staff consulted the
American Planning Association's Off -Street Parking Requirements publication, which indicated
that one space per every 400 square -feet (or fraction thereof) of gross floor area would be
acceptable. Using that ratio, a total of four spaces would need to' be set aside for employees and
customers, separate from any vehicles on display for rental or sales purposes. A diagram of the
site and parking lot layout is included for your reference. This requirement can be met.
f. The provisions of subdivision 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met.
Section 1125.01 of the City Code relates to adverse affects resulting from the proposed use.
There are five items listed for consideration:
(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
(2) The geographical area involved.
(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
Thrifty Car Rental
2975 Highway 10
July 26, 1999
Page 4
(4) The character of the surrounding area.
(5) The demonstrated need for such use.
A stated above, this use or any commercial use would be inconsistent with the comprehensive
plan as currently drafted. A commercial use has been present at this location for the last 30 years
and it is staff's and the Planning Commission's position that the comprehensive plan should be
amended to reflect this type of use. This comp plan change would occur as part of the current
comp plan update process The area surrounding the parcel is dominated by residential uses.
There are commercial uses and higher density residential uses across Highway 10. While the
property is the only commercial use in the immediate area, its location at the intersection of
Spring Lake Road and Highway 10 makes it undesirable for a residential use. Addressing the
issue of neighborhood depreciation, it is much more desirable to have a successfully operating
business at this location than to have an abandoned, run-down property. As for the need for such
a use, there are currently no businesses in the City that provide a car rental service.
General CUP Requirements:
In addition to the CUP conditions and the adverse affects requirements, the Code also requires
that certain findings of fact be addressed in the granting of any conditional use permit. These
criteria as they appear in Section 1125.01, Subd. 3b of the City Code are listed as follows:
(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other
public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
The use will be a service-oriented business, rather than residential development, and
therefore is not expected to create a burden on parks or schools. The proposed use will
utilize the existing building and is not expected to increase the demands on public facilities
and utilities.
(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there
will be no deterrence to development ofvacant land.
(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon
adjacent residential properties.
The use is currently screened from abutting residential properties by virtue of a wood
privacy fence. The residential properties across the street are sufficiently separated by the
width of the Spring Lake Road right of way and the respective setbacks of the business
and houses.
(4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the
City and to the existing land use.
The applicant will be replacing a closed and untended business site with a new business
and site improvements. There are currently no other similar uses in the City.

2975 Highway 10
July 26, 1999
Page 5
(5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning
district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
The Zoning Code allows for automobile rental businesses in this zoning district, with
approval of a conditional use permit. The property is located on Highway 10, which is the
City's primary business corridor.
(6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
While the Comprehensive Plan designates this parcel as residential, it is the intent of staff
and the Planning Commission to resolve this inconsistency in conjunction with the
Comprehensive Plan revision.
(7) The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
(8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
In the opinion of Staff and the Planning Commission, this use would not create any traffic
hazards and that all of the required infrastructure has been provided.
Recommendation:
Staff and the Planning Commission is recommending that the Council approve Resolution 5349, a
resolution approving a conditional use permit for Thrifty Car Rental to operate an auto rental
facility at the property located at 2975 Highway 10, with stipulations.

MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 586-99
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING TO CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FROM THRIFTY CAR RENTAL TO
OPERATE AN OUTDOOR RENTAL OPERATION AT 2975 HIGHWAY 10;
PLANNING CASE NO. 562-99
WHEREAS, Tim Moe, representing Thrifty Car Rental, has applied for a conditional use
permit to operate an outdoor automobile rental facility at 2975 Highway 10, property zoned B-3,
Highway Business Commercial, legally described as follows:
Lot 13 of Auditor's Subdivision No. 89,
Subject to Highway 10 and Spring Lake Road
Ramsey County, State of Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code allows outdoor automobile rental facilities
in the B-3 Highway Business District with the approval of a conditional use permit; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents regarding
this proposal:
1. Planning Application
2. Zoning Map
3. Existing Site Plan.
4. Proposed Site Plan, Date-stamped 7/15/99
5. Letter from Applicant
6. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings that
the criteria for approval for automobile rental facilities in Section 1114.04, Subd. 5 have been
met:
a. Outside services, sales and equipment rental connected with the principal use is limited
to thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal use.
The principal use for this location will be automobile rental and is not subject to the
thirty percent limitation. The operation maybe allowed to market for sale rental vehicles
as an accessory use which would be subject to the thirty percent limitation. This
limitation translates into no more than three vehicles on the property marked for sale at
any onetime.
b. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring identical uses or
an abutting R District in compliance with subdivisions 1103.08(1) through (5) of this Title.
Thrifty Auto Rental
Resolution 586-99
July 21, 1999
Page 2
There will be no officially designated sales area on this property as the principal use will
be auto rental. The use is currently screened from abutting residential properties by
virtue of a wood privacy fence. The residential properties across the street are
sufficiently separated by the width of the Spring Lake Road right of way and the
respective setbacks of the business and houses.
c. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible
from the public right of way or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance
with 1103.08, Section 1103.09 of this Title.
There are no changes proposed with regard to the external lighting of this property,
which is currently in compliance with the indicated section of City Code.
d. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust.
The area on which the rental vehicles and those vehicles parked for sale is bituminously
paved. Vehicles will not be allowed to be parked upon any unpaved area of the property.
e. The open or outdoor service, sale or rental use does not take up parking space as
required for conformity of this Title.
According to the Chapter 1121 of the City Code, this operation will need to provide a
minimum of four parking spaces for employees and customers. Any remaining parking
spaces may be utilized for rental vehicles.
f. The provisions of subdivision 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily
met.
These provisions are addressed in detail in the following "whereas" clause.
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings that
possible adverse effects have been taken into consideration in its recommendation according to
Section 1125.01, Subdivision Le:
(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
(2) The geographical area involved.
(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
(4) The character of the surrounding area.
(5) The demonstrated need for such use.
Thrifty Auto Rental
Resolution 586-99
July 21, 1999
Page 3
This proposed use or any commercial use would be inconsistent with the comprehensive
plan as currently drafted. A commercial use has been present at this location for the last
30 years and it is staff's position that the comprehensive plan should be amended to reflect
this type of use. This comp plan change could occur as part of the current comp plan
update process or could be done in conjunction with the applicant's request. The area
surrounding the parcel is dominated by residential uses. There are commercial uses and
higher density residential uses across Highway 10.' While the property is the only
commercial use in the immediate area, its location at the intersection of Spring Lake Road
and Highway 10 makes it undesirable for a residential use. Addressing the issue of
neighborhood depreciation, it is much more desirable to have a successfully operating
business at this location than to have an abandoned, run-down property. As for the need
for such a use, there are currently no businesses in the City that provide a car rental
service.
WHEREAS, the Mounds View. Planning Commission makes the following findings
relative to the criteria stated in Section 1125.01 Subd. 3.b. of the Mounds View Municipal Code:
(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other
public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
The use will be a service-oriented business, rather than residential development, and
therefore is not expected to create a burden on parks or schools. The proposed use will
utilize the existing building and is not expected to increase the demands on public
facilities and utilities.
(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and
there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land.
(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon
adjacent residential properties.
The use is currently screened from abutting residential properties by virtue of a wood
privacy fence. The residential properties across the street are sufficiently separated by
the width of the Spring Lake Road right of way and the respective setbacks of the
business and houses.
(4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the
City and to the existing land use.
The applicant will be replacing a closed and untended business site with a new business
and site improvements. There are currently no other similar uses in the City.
Thrifty Auto Rental
Resolution 586-99
July 21, 1999
Page 4
(5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning
district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
The Zoning Code allows for automobile rental businesses in this zoning district, with
approval of a conditional use permit. The property is located on Highway 10, which is
the City's primary business corridor.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations:
Hours of operation shall not exceed 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday,
9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.
2. Service of vehicles shall only be performed inside the building and shall be limited
to only those vehicles on site for rent or sale. There shall not be any service of
vehicles allowed for the general public.
3. The applicant shall revise the site plan to show two posted "No Parking" signs
along the Spring Lake Road right of way.
4. Other than the vehicles for rent or sale, there shall be no outside storage allowed
without the prior approval of an amendment to this conditional use permit.
Automobile sales will be limited to a maximum of three vehicles at one time.
6. Other than any interior signage, there shall be no signage allowed pertaining to the
sale of vehicles. Cars may display "for sale" signs only if said signage is restricted
to the interior of the vehicles.
7. No more than 23 vehicles shall be allowed to be parked outside on the premises at
any one time, and only in accordance with the site plan date-stamped 7/15/99.
No vehicle shall be allowed to be parked on unimproved surface on the premises at
any time.
9. The applicant shall make landscaping improvements to the property consistent with
Commission and Council desires, to be more fully addressed prior to City Council
action.
10. The applicant shall record the conditional use permit with Ramsey County within
60 days of City Council approval or this permit shall become null and void.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all other Conditional Use Permits on file with this
property pertaining to previous uses shall hereby be revoked, rescinded and considered null and
void because the provisions pertaining to those uses are no longer being observed .
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward this
resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 21st day of July, 1999.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor & City Council
From: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and consideration of Resolution 5351, a resolution
approving the issuance of a conditional use permit for an outdoor
produce sales stand at 2732 Highway 10, requested by Holiday
Stationstore
Date of Report: July 21, 1999
Background:
Chuck Durand, representing the Holiday Stationstore, is requesting a conditional use permit to
operate an outdoor produce stand in the parking lot of the Holiday Stationstore, located at the
southeast corner of Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road from July through October of this year and
years thereafter. The produce is planned to be open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week. The
stand would be operated by Darcy Ewing of Big Lake, Minnesota. The sales tent is proposed to
be 12 feet square and would be located in the grassy area immediately adjacent to the bank of
parking stalls at the north corner of the lot. If there are no problems with the operation, the
applicant would like the opportunity to operate in subsequent years as was done with Linder's and
Merryville farm market.
Analysis:
This produce stand would be similar to the Merryville operation at Moundsview Square. Signage
for the produce stand will be accomplished with small banners affixed to the stand and covering.
As was done for the Linder's and Merryville, the conditional use permit for Holiday is drafted in
such a way so that future appearances before the Planning Commission and City Council are not
required. This allowance is conditioned on many factors, not the least of which is that there be no
problems associated with the operation this year. The CUP would then remain in effect indefinitely
so long as there are no changes to the operation and the applicant resubmit a letter of intent and site
plan each year in advance.
CUP Requirements:
The criteria for approval of a conditional use permit appear in Section 1114.04, Subd. 5 of the
Mounds View Municipal Code. They are as follows:
a. Outdoor service, sales and equipment rental connected with the principal use is
limited to thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal use.
Holiday Produce Cup
Planning Case 564-99
July 26, 1999
Page 2
The Holiday Stationstore building contains approximately 6,500 square feet of building
area. The proposed produce stand would occupy 144 square feet of the property, which is
about 2% of the building square footage on the site.
b. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring residential uses or an
abutting residential district in compliance with Subdivisions 1103.08(1) - (5) of this Title.
The produce stand would be screened from the neighboring yet -to -be completed Realife
Cooperative senior residential complex by the Holiday building.
C. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from
the public right of way or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance with Section
1103.09 of the Code.
The applicant will not have any lighting associated with the produce stand as it will be
operating during daylight hours.
d. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust.
The applicant is proposing to use the lawn area adjacent to the north bank of parking stalls
instead of taking up space in the parking lot.
e. The open or outdoor service, sale or rental use does not take up parking spaces as required for
conformity of this Title.
The produce stand would not be located in the parking lot and it is expected that the
majority of the customers would be drawn from those already on the premises for gas or
convenience products.
f. The provisions of Subdivision 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met:
(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
(2) The geographical area involved.
(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
(4) The character of the surrounding area.
(5) The demonstrated need for such use.
The proposal is for a temporary produce stand adjacent to the parking lot of an existing
Holiday Stationstore. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Mixed Use PUD,
which coincides with the zoning of this site. Such an accessory use would not be
inconsistent with the Plan. The store is at the corner of two major transportation arteries
and is screened from adjacent residential uses. The sale of produce is a typical seasonal
business in a community such as Mounds View and it serves a community need. The short
duration of the use will result in little, if any, adverse effect upon the surrounding area.
In addition to the specific criteria addressed in Section 1114.04 and the adverse effects
considerations in Subdivision 1125.01 (1)e, there are generic CUP criteria that appear in
Subdivision 1125.01 (3)b that need to be addressed. They are as follows:
Holiday Produce Cup
Planning Case 564-99
July 26, 1999
Page 3
(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public
facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
It is not expected that this use will have any impact on parks, schools, streets and other
public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will
be no deterrence to development of vacant land.
The produce stand would be screened from the neighboring yet -to -be completed Realife
Cooperative senior residential complex by the Holiday building and by distance.
(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent
residential properties.
While staff has no plans to show the design or construction of this structure, it is not
expected that the 12 foot square stand would have an adverse appearance, nor would it be
adjacent to any residential property.
(4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City
and to the existing land use.
The City already has given approval for one produce stand to be located at Moundsview
Square. This type of business, however, depends upon existing traffic for the majority of
its business, which means it will draw primarily from those people already at the Holiday
store. Having two such businesses separated by a third of a mile on opposite sides of
Highway 10 would satisfy a need and provide for additional convenience.
(5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district
in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
The Zoning Code allows for this type of use with a conditional use permit. It would not
inconsistent with the intent of the Zoning Code for such a business to operate at this
location.
(6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as Mixed Use Planned Unit
Development, which indicates an anticipation for a variety of uses. A produce stand to be
located at a gas and convenience store would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
(7) The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
It is not expected that this use will draw significant customers on its own. The majority of
its customer base will be those people already at the Holiday store for gas or other
conveniences. As such, it would not be expected that this use would cause traffic hazards
or congestion.
Holiday Produce Cup
Planning Case 564-99
July 26, 1999
Page 4
(8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
The use would be located in the parking lot of the Holiday Stationstore which is served by
Highway 10 and Silver lake Road. All of the infrastructure serving this site are installed
and provided --no additional infrastructure will be needed top accommodate this use.
In the estimation of staff, it appears as though the specific CUP requirements in Subdivision
1114.04(1)e, the adverse effects criteria in Subdivision 1125.01(1)e, and the general CUP
requirements in Subdivision 1125.01 (3)b are all satisfied.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 5352, a resolution approving a conditional use permit for the Holiday
Stationstore located at 2732 Highway 10 to annually operate an outdoor produce stand from July
1 to October 31, with stipulations.

From: Chuck Durand, Holiday Stationstore
RE: Conditional Use Permit for produce stand
I am writing you in conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit, which we recently
submitted to provide for the sale of fresh produce on the exterior of our premise.
We anticipate that the sales tent/stand will be approximately 12 feet square and be
located in an area as shown on the site plan I submitted. We plan on a sales period
of the months of July, August, September and October (this year we will start as soon
as the permit is granted). We do not think parking will be a problem as we already
have ample spaces and most of our sales will be to customers already purchasing
gas or merchandise. The operator of the stand is expected to be Darcey Ewing from
Big Lake who has other stands of this nature in the area. The stand will specialize in
Homegrown produce of many types including corn, potatoes, Tomatoes etc... We
feel that a fresh produce stand of this nature will offer the area welcomed source of
fresh quality produce at a very competitive price.
Please start the process for the conditional use permit as soon as possible and let us
know if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

BY CHUCK DURAND; PLANNING CASE NO. 564-99
WHEREAS, Chuck Durand, representing the Holiday Stationstore, has applied for a

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Tracy Juell, Administrative Assistant, Public Works Department
Item Title/Subject: Suspension of Waste Management of Blaine's Hauling License
Date of Report: July 22, 1999
The City of Mounds View funds all of the recycling programs, ie. (2) City wide clean up days,
recycling bins, fliers, recycling contest, etc., through a Ramsey County SCORE Grant. As a
requirement for receiving the grant, the City must submit tonnage figures, etc. in bi-annual
recycling reports to the Ramsey County Department of Health by their required due date.
Each licensed residential/multi-dwelling hauler (garbage/recycling) submits monthly recycling
tonnage reports; as of today's date, Waste Management of Blaine has not submitted any reports
for 1999. Voice mail messages have been left with Tom Kline, Recycling Coordinator and Ery
Hoffsted, Supervisor, asking that the tonnage reports be faxed to my attention immediately. (It
should be noted, that in the July 19, 1999 voice mail message to Mr. Kline, I stated that I would
be approaching the Council at their next meeting to suspend their hauling license if the reports
were not faxed by July 20.)
Attached to this report, is a copy of Chapter 603.06, subd. 3 of the Garbage and Rubbish
ordinance, highlighting the requirements of maintaining a hauling license in the City of Mounds
View. Waste Management of Blaine is not complying with these requirements and it is my
understanding that this has been an on-going problem/issue with this particular hauler.
RECOMMENDATION:
To suspend Waste Management of Blaine's hauling license, if reports are not received within 48
hours, and to issue a court citation and/or an administrative offense of $100.00 per month of non-
compliance (6 x $100.00) and a $100.00 administrative fee.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor & City Council
From: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 632, an Ordinance
Amending Chapter 1113 of the Zoning Code Pertaining to Permitted
Uses within the B-2, Limited Business Zoning District; Special
Planning Case No. SP -072-99
Date of Report: July 21, 1999
Discussion:
Staff has issued a building permit to Kraus Anderson to do interior remodeling work within Silver
View Plaza, located at 2540 Highway 10, for a private educational facility --Calvin Academy. The
subject property is zoned B-2, Limited Business, which does not specifically permit such a use.
The first reading of this ordinance which adds educational facilities to the list of permitted uses
within the B-2 district was held on July 12, 1999, at which time the Council amended the original
version to permit any type of educational or instructional facilities, rather than limiting the
amendment to private facilities only.
The attached draft of Ordinance 632 has incorporated these changes
Recommendation:
Approve the second reading of Ordinance 632, an ordinance amending Chapter 1113 of the Zoning
Code pertaining to permitted uses with the B-2, Limited Business zoning district.

From: Bruce A. Kessel, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Decertify parcels within TIF District 2
Date of Report: July 22, 1999
Attached is a City Council Resolution that was requested to remove two parcels from the TIF
District. While the issue was requested to be placed on the City Council agenda, I believe that it is
actually the Economic Development Authority who has the authority to take such action. Other staff
members or our TIF attorney or City attorney would be better able to address the proper entity that is
able to adopt such a resolution. Regardless of the actual entity that adopts the resolution, you may
wish to authorize the mayor and clerk -treasurer to modify it if necessary and then to execute it for
and on behalf of the City in order to meet any County requirements.
Prior to adopting this resolution, I feel that it is my duty as the City's Finance Director to express my
concerns relating to this resolution.
❑ At the present time, the City has three outstanding general obligation bond issues totaling
$5,780,000 that are backed by the full faith and credit of the City. In lay terms, this translates
into the City pledging to increase its property tax levy to make up any shortfall in revenue
collections from tax increments.
❑ The City uses tax increment funds to pay for a portion of three City employee's salaries, for
housing programs, Highway 10 redevelopment, business retention and expansion, etc. If there
are not sufficient TIF dollars to pay for such costs, they will either have to be shifted to the
general fund or be eliminated.
❑ The City Council, Economic Development Authority, and Economic Development Commission
have not developed a long-term plan for the use of TIF. To arbitrarily select several parcels to
remove from the district without first developing such a plan is not fiscally responsible.
As has been stated in the past, the City has several options to deal with funds in excess of what it
deems it needs within its TIF District including:
❑ Collect the funds and return a portion back to the County to redistribute to the County, School
District and the City (the other misc. jurisdictions such as Rice Creek, Library, etc. do not
receive any of portion of such payment);
❑ Decertify an area or an entire District. If the City completes a plan and determines that an area or
an entire District is no longer in need of redevelopment, it can then justify its decertification.
However, to arbitrarily pick out several parcels without it being a part of a long-term plan is not
fiscally responsible.
The County has indicated that there is a short time table to decertify a parcel for next year. If the
Council wishes to complete a long term plan that addresses the issues raised above, it could wait to
adopt the attached resolution and return to the County the increment collected on said parcels in
2000 and achieve the same results.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
