City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing – Resolution 8132, Consideration of a
Conditional Use Permit for an Oversized Garage at 2917
County Road H2; Planning Case MU2013-001-CU-1
Introduction:
The applicant, Peter McIntyre, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit for an
oversize detached garage on his property at 2917 County Road H2. The applicant wants to
expand his existing 840 square foot garage and make it 10 feet deeper, to 30’w’x 38’d,
(1,140 square feet).
The applicant has submitted plans for a garage larger and taller than what the City Code
allows without a planning action. The City limits the size of accessory buildings, whether
attached or detached from the house, to a maximum of 952 square feet. Any single building
larger than 952 square feet must get City approval of a conditional use permit. The garage
the applicant is proposing would be 1,140 square feet. The applicant also requested a
variance to build the garage addition the same height as the garage currently is, which no
longer meets the Zoning Code. The garage height met the Zoning Code at the time it was
built, but is now considered legal non-conforming. On August 7, 2013, the Planning
Commission approved a height variance for the expanded area to be the same height as the
existing garage.
Conditional Use Permit Discussion
Requirements:
Section 1106.03, Subd. 1: This part of the Code limits the height of an accessory building,
the number of accessory buildings, the backyard coverage ratio of accessory buildings and
specifies roof style and pitch. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for garages
exceeding 952 square feet.
Section 1106.04, Subd. 6: This part of the Code enumerates the conditions for garages
exceeding 952 square feet. The garage must be permanent, be uniform in appearance with
the home, not exceed 35 feet in width, and not exceed 1,800 square feet of total accessory
building area on the lot.
Section 1125.01, Subd. 1: The Planning Commission and City Council are required to
review the possible adverse effects of the requested conditional use.
2917 County Rd H2 CUP Request
August 12, 2013
Page 2
Discussion:
The request for a Conditional Use Permit to construct the 1,140 square foot garage satisfies
the requirements as stated in Section 1106.03 and 1106.04, Subdivision 6 of the Mounds
View Zoning Code. The proposed garage meets all City setback and accessory building
coverage requirements, and the Commission will decide on the height. The City Code limits
backyard building coverage to 20% of the yard area. The expanded garage and the
additional existing 308 square foot accessory building would total 1,448 square feet which is
below the maximum of 1,800 square feet limit, and have approximately 5% coverage of the
backyard area.
The applicant wants to expand the existing garage by adding 10 feet to the rear for a
workshop. The expansion would not change the appearance of the garage from the front.
CUP Considerations:
Chapter 1125 of the Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission and City Council
review and address any potential adverse effects of a conditional use that include, but are
not limited to, the relationship with the Comprehensive Plan, geographical area involved,
potential depreciation, the character of the surrounding area and the demonstrated need for
such a use. Staff has addressed each of these potential adverse effects below.
Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this
property as low-density residential, as well as the surrounding area. The Comp Plan
encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas to improve the quality,
appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in general. W ith this
project, the applicant would be creating a garage workshop.
The Geographical Area Involved. The applicant’s home is located on a large lot in a
residential area on County Road H2.
Depreciation. The proposed garage expansion would benefit the subject property both in a
practical sense by providing additional indoor storage and workspace, as well as in an
economic sense, as the addition would increase the “value” of the property. Increased property
values are a benefit to everyone.
The Character of the Surrounding Area. The applicant’s neighborhood is entirely single-family
residential. The homes in this area are a variety of styles and ages, but the immediate area
properties all have large lots. The garage expansion would be into the backyard and not
change the look of the front of the garage. This is a larger property at 106 feet wide and 375
feet deep (0.89 acres), so the total accessory building coverage will only be about 5% of the
backyard area. The expansion of 10 more feet to the rear of the existing garage will not be
very noticeable. The adjacent property also has a 1,152 square foot oversize garage.
The Demonstrated Need for Such a Use. The applicant is proposing to expand his existing
garage into a 1,140 square foot garage by adding a 10 foot addition in the rear to create a
workshop. Both the applicant and his wife have hobbies that require a lot of storage space.
2917 County Rd H2 CUP Request
August 12, 2013
Page 3
Public Hearing:
As with any requested conditional use permit, this application requires a public hearing. Staff
mailed notices to all property owners within 350 feet of the applicant’s property and a notice
was published in the Sun Focus newspaper on Thursday, August 1, 2013. The Planning
Commission also held a public hearing on August 7, 2013 and no one spoke.
Planning Commission Action:
The Planning Commission reviewed this request at their August 7, 2013 meeting and
recommended approval of the conditional use permit by a 5-0 vote (Stevenson and Rundle
absent).
Recommendation:
After taking testimony from staff, the applicant and affected neighbors, the City Council may
take any of the following actions below related to the requests. Staff recommends approval
of this conditional use permit.
1. Approve the CUP as requested. Staff has prepared Resolution 8132 that approves
the conditional use permit if the Council chooses this action.
2. Choose to deny the conditional use permit. If the Council chooses this option, Staff
would need direction from the City Council to prepare a resolution of denial with
findings of fact to support the denial.
3. Table one or both of the requests. If the Council needs more information before
making a decision or if they decide that there is need for more discussion, the Council
can simply move to table the request until such information has been provided.
Because of 60-day requirements, the Council would need to act upon the request as
soon as reasonably possible to avoid an inadvertent approval.
Respectfully submitted,
Heidi Heller
Planning Associate

WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows garages in excess

this request on August 7, 2013; and,

request on August 12, 2013; and,

requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 the Zoning Code.
Resolution 8132 Page 2
2. The request is consistent with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that the
Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential
areas to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and
residential property in general. 3. The proposed garage would not be out of place given the character and geography of the surrounding area involved.
4. The proposed garage would not depreciate the neighborhood.
5. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that a need exists for the proposed
oversized garage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View City

uses not allowed within the R-1 Single-Family Residential district or by the Zoning
Code. Should the use change for which the permit was granted; the conditional use
permit shall be considered null and void.
2. The expanded garage area shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform
appearance with the existing garage.
3. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall become null and void if the work for
which the CUP was granted is not completed within one year from the date of
approval unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has
been granted by the City Council.

Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing, Introduction, and First Reading of
Ordinance 881, an Ordinance Implementing a Franchise
Fee on Xcel Energy Electric and Natural Gas Operations
within the City of Mounds View
Attached is an ordinance to receive a public hearing, introduction, and first reading. The
second reading and adoption will be on Monday, August 26, 2013.
This ordinance continues the agreement with Xcel Energy under which Xcel Energy will
collect a franchise fee in the amount of 4% of Xcel’s electric and natural gas gross
operating revenues for services within the City of Mounds View during the year 2013.
Ordinances 875 and 876 passed on January 28, 2013 extended the original 20 year
franchise agreement for another 20 years. It provides that the City may impose a
franchise fee of not more than 4% of Xcel’s gross operating revenues at any time during
the 20-year term of the franchise. The 20-year term runs from January 2013 through
January 28, 2034. The franchise fee was first collected in 1993.
It has been the practice to include a sunset provision in the ordinance that requires it to
be re-enacted each year. The ordinance will be brought back to the City Council for
second reading and adoption at the August 26, 2013 meeting. It will then be published
in the Sun Focus and take effect as provided in the ordinance. Staff would request that
a summary ordinance be published with the complete ordinance available on-line and at

Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing, First Reading and Introduction of
Ordinance 882, an Ordinance Implementing a Franchise
Fee on Center Point Energy Natural Gas Operations
within the City of Mounds View
Attached is an ordinance to receive a public hearing, introduction and first reading. The
second reading and adoption will be on Monday, August 26, 2013.
This ordinance continues the agreement with Center Point Energy under which Center
Point Energy will collect a franchise fee in the amount of 4% of Center Point’s natural
gas gross operating revenues for services within the City of Mounds View during the
year 2014.
Ordinance 625 passed on June 28, 1999 originally enacted the franchise agreement. It
provides that the City may impose a franchise fee of not more than 4% of Center Point’s
gross operating revenues at any time through July 1, 2019. The franchise fee was first
collected in 2001.
It has been the practice to include a sunset provision in the ordinance requiring it to be
re-enacted each year. Franchise fees collected under this agreement are minimal due
to Center Point Energy’s small customer base within the City of Mounds View.
The ordinance will be brought back to the City Council for second reading and adoption
at the August 26, 2013 meeting. It will be published in the Sun Focus and take effect as
provided in the ordinance after publication. Staff would request that a summary

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Thomas Kinney, Chief of Police
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8134 for Authority to Advertise for the Public
Service Officer (PSO) Position in the Police Department and
Create an Eligibility List
Introduction:
Public Service Officer (PSO) Craig Swalchick has accepted a position for the city as the
housing code inspector, effective August 26, 2013. Therefore, a replacement for the PSO
position will need to be filled. As background, the PSO position is currently budgeted as a
¾ part-time non-sworn position within the Police Department, who also provides code
enforcement duties. The current guideline for duties in each department has been 2/3 time
police (20 hours/week) and 1/3 time for community development (10 hours/week).
The eligibility list for this position was last created in 2010, necessitating the establishment
of a new and current list.
Discussion:
The Mounds View Police Civil Service Commission maintains the eligibility list for the
position of Public Service Officer (PSO). Due to the age of the last eligibility list in 2010,
the Police Civil Service Commission convened on August 9, 2013 and approved the
process to establish a new eligibility list for the PSO position.
The PSO is an essential position to the operations of the Police Department and
Community Development Department. Having a PSO in place ensures the continuity of
police operations and code enforcement duties. Due to past city council goals and priorities
listing code enforcement as one area of focus, the possibility of expanding the hours of the
PSO to full time status can be considered. By expanding the position from the current 30
hours/week to 40 hours/week, the increased costs to the city on an annual basis are
projected to be $12,752, which include wages, benefits and insurance.
The current starting wage for the PSO position at the Step 1 pay rate is $13.11 per
hour.
The duties of the PSO include:
• Pickup stray animals as required or as requested by citizen complaint.
• Assist officers with traffic control, traffic and radar surveys.
• Perform house-watch duties to help ensure the safety and security of property
belonging to residents out of the city for a period of time.
• Trap and relocate undomesticated animals.
• Assist in the maintenance of agency equipment and medical supplies.
• Transport equipment or personnel as requested.
• Answer administrative phones when needed.
• Recovery of stolen, lost or abandoned property (i.e. bicycles)
• Assist with code enforcement throughout the city.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution 8134 which
authorizes the advertisement for the PSO position.
Respectfully Submitted,

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Thomas Kinney, Chief of Police
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8133, Renewal of Training Contract with Century
College
Background:
Century College has provided police training courses to the Mounds View Police
Department and numerous other police agencies in Minnesota and Wisconsin, since
1994. Century College provides approximately 300 hours of POST approved training, to
include mandated courses along with a wide selection of many other law enforcement
related courses.
Discussion:
Agencies wishing to participate in this training option can select the number of training
slots they would like to have available to their agency for any given course offering.
Most courses are offered more than once during the year, so it is not necessary to
purchase a slot for every officer on the department. The total cost to renew the contract
for one training slot is $695.00.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval to renew the police department training contract with
Century College for one training slot at a total cost of $695.00 for the contract period
from September 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
Respectfully Submitted,

Bill Kowalik, 7220 Hidden Hollow Court, questioned why the City was placing barriers in his 30
backyard. 31
32
Public Works Director DeBar explained the barriers were being put in place to stop people from 33
using the path. The home that abuts H2 has a driveway and the City has been allowed to use this 34
pathway as an access for sewer cleanouts. However, this did not mean all of the homeowners 35
would have the same access. He commented the property was public and was not meant for 36
private property to use this as an access point. 37
38
Mr. Kowalik requested that one end of the path be closed but not both. He understood that the 39
property owner at Pleasant View Drive has complained about the traffic on his end. 40

DeBar reviewed the proposed location of the two gates. 43

this access point did create a liability issue. 4

Public Works Director DeBar indicated the City wanted to control the cars using this access 6
point. The two gates would keep cars from going through this area. He commented if residents 7
wanted to access this area the City could open the gate upon request. Further discussion ensued 8

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Financial Report for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2013
Attached is the June 30, 2013 Revenue and Expense Report. I have also attached our current
investment inventory, and cash balances by fund.
DETAIL FINANCIAL REPORTS
General Fund:
Most General Fund revenues are slightly ahead 2012. We receive an advance on the July
property tax settlement in late June. However, the majority of tax revenue and related state paid
credits are received in the 2nd half of the year. Interest revenue and transfers in and out are
recorded at the end of the year. Franchise taxes, investment earnings, and fines and forfeitures
are trailing the budget due to the continued slow economic conditions. A larger percentage of the
City’s revenues are received in the second half of the year.
Most operating department expenditures are at or below budget expectations and represent
department efforts to continue to spend wisely. Some purchases will be deferred until January 1 to
take advantage of the sales tax emption.
Other Funds:
Banquet operations, which is a component of the Community Center shows a year-to-date deficit
of $20,837 due to timing of management payments to the YMCA (paid 3 quarters). Banquet center
revenues are lower by $4,794 under this period last year. Expenditures are higher by $15,819 due
to the timing of payments to the YMCA. Other revenues should pick-up in the second half of the
year as we get into the heart of wedding season with a slight increase over 2012. A transfer of
$170,000 is budgeted for 2013 and the need to transfer the entire amount will depend on the 2nd
half of the year. Community Center operations have experienced growing maintenance costs and
this will only accelerate as the equipment continues to age.
The Street Improvement Fund has experienced significant cost savings over the last five projects
due to the very competitive construction environment. This should continue for at least one more
project.
The Water, Sanitary Sewer, Storm Water and Street Light Utility fund expenses are tracking within
or under budget. Water revenues are slightly under budget but tend to increase after the summer
quarter. Most funds are on target with their respective budgets. The third quarter will provide a
more accurate picture on how the year is going but we are on track, with no significant surprises.
Investments:
The City has seen interest rates continue to trend lower as higher yielding agency bonds are called
by their issuers. Investment income for 2012 is $151,827 compared with $232,784 for the same
period in 2012. Our portfolio for June 30, 2012 was 27,592,004 compared with $29,384,194 for
2012. I have attached the June 30th cash balance and investment statements for your review.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has maintained the current discount rate at 0% -
.25%. The FOMC has guided that they will keep rates low into 2015. The Federal Reserve cannot
affect interest rates by lowering the discount rate so they have used various bond buying programs
(QE1, QE2, and QE3), which has artificially lowered rates on those securities. There is some
speculation that the Fed will start to taper QE3 in the near future thus pushing rates up in the last
month by 100 basis points. The state of the bond market would indicate that more normal market
driven rates may be around the corner. Treasury bills are presently providing the following rates-
of-return:
Treasury Securities 2013 2012
2 year .300 .220
5 year 1.380 .580
10 year 2.620 1.440
30 year 3.72 3.200
Cert. of Deposit
1 year .350 .250
Inflation in the next 12 to 18 months does not seem to be a concern for the FOMC. GDP for the
second quarter was at 1.7%. State unemployment for June was 5.2% compared to national
unemployment of 7.6%. The job market continues to be slow to recover and housing appears to
be in the early stages of recovery.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS:
Second quarter:
The annual financial audit and preparation of the 2012 comprehensive annual financial report
consumes a lot of staff time during the second quarter. Staff also began and completed work on
the five year financial plan and began work on the 2014 budget.
Third and fourth quarters:
The third and fourth quarters will be dominated with budget related work which will culminate with a
truth-in-taxation hearing and adoption of the 2014 budget and tax levy in December. The third
quarter will also include certifying assessments for delinquent utilities, diseased trees, abatements
and other charges due to the City. Work on insurance policy renewal occurs in the fourth quarter.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mark Beer

Crime Prevention/DARE
Spring was another busy quarter for the Crime Prevention Unit. Officer Keckeisen hosted a
very successful DARE graduation for over 100 5th graders from Pinewood Elementary
School.
Officer Keckeisen provided fire arms, taser, and control tactics training to three newly hired
Officers of the Mounds View Police Department.
To provide added safety for school aged children Officer Keckeisen, along with the Patrol
Division provided extra police presence at the cross walks of Edgewood, Sunnyside, and
Pinewood schools before and after school.
Officer Keckeisen conducted alcohol and tobacco compliance checks this past quarter. We
are happy to report that 100% compliance was achieved with all of the businesses licensed to
sell alcohol and tobacco successfully passing the compliance checks.
Officer Keckeisen continued to monitor monthly alarms reports to determine crime patterns
and to assign fines for repeating false alarms. Predatory offender monitoring, distribution of
the weekly crime summary reports and attendance at the property manager’s coalition
continues on a regular basis.
School Resource Officer (SRO)
The SRO performs various duties on a daily basis at Edgewood Middle School which include
the following:
• Assisting with traffic flow in front of the school,
• Ensuring the school is secured each morning,
• Providing a police presence in the hallways during passing times and in the cafeteria
during lunch times,
• Investigating crimes that occur on school property,
• Assisting with lock down, fire, and severe weather drills,
• Attending school dances and after school activities,
• Assisting at Pinewood Elementary,
• Being a liaison between the school and the police department,
• Forming positive relationships with students, parents, and school staff,
• Transporting students to and from the out of school suspension program
From April thru June, the SRO made the following incident reports:
• 5 disturbances
• 1 information to narcotics
• 1 assault
• 1 obstructing a police officer
• 1 assist to other agency
• 3 follow-ups for patrol/investigations
From those cases, 1 student was petitioned in court and 3 other juveniles could still face
petitions.
6
Some of the day to day issues that the SRO assisted the school with during the second
quarter included:
• Deescalating students in crisis
• Assisting the school deans with locker and student searches as requested
• Using school security cameras to assist deans with investigating fights and property
crimes
• Counseling students about sexual harassment
• Recovering lost property and locating the owners
• Following up with students who were involved in fights outside of school
• Counseling students regarding bullying, threats, and harassment
• Assisting social workers, probation officers, and other police departments with cases
regarding Edgewood students
• Assisting the deans with habitually truant students
• Helping the school create and enforce school-based no contact orders between
students who can’t seem to get along
• Assisting the school nurse’s office with responding to students’ injuries at school
• Assisting the deans with investigating reports of students under the influence of
controlled substances
• Passing along information to patrol officers regarding reports of school bus stop arm
violators
• Assisting the school administration with their response to reports of students playing
choking games
Highlights from 2nd Quarter
• Edgewood Middle School suspended all lock-down drills following the events in
Newtown, CT. This allowed the students to have several months to recover from the
tragedy before participating in drills that could evoke certain emotions related to those
events. Edgewood resumed lock-down drills in May, and the Mounds View Police
Department assisted with the first drill. Several officers from patrol and investigations
were at the school for the drill which allowed them to become more familiar with the
school procedures and to offer suggestions for improvement.

Toward Zero Deaths (TZD)
The spring/ summer months are generally a busy time for the Ramsey County Traffic Safety
Initiative (RCTSI). The RCTSI partners with the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety in the
Toward Zero Deaths program. During this past quarter, the Mounds View PD participated in 2
DWI saturations, 2 seatbelt details and a June speed enforcement detail.
The first DWI saturation was held on April 12th and was hosted by the Saint Anthony PD. The
entire detail conducted 251 traffic stops and made 11 DWI arrests. Sergeant Zender and
Officer Heineman participated in this event. Each made 13 traffic stops but did not locate a
drunk driver.
The second DWI saturation occurred on May 4th and was hosted by the Saint Paul PD. This
event coincided with Cinco de Mayo festivities in the downtown area. The entire detail
conducted 276 traffic stops and made 11 DWI arrests. Officer Meyer participated in this
event. He conducted 11 traffic stops but did not locate a drunk driver.
There were 4 other DWI saturations conducted by the RCTSI during the quarter. However,
Mounds View PD was not able to send any officers partially due to the field training
obligations underway for the newly hired officers.

Each year during the month of May, National Police Week is held across the nation. This is in
recognition for all the police officers who have sacrificed their lives during the line of duty. In
Ramsey County, the Suburban Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony was held on May 16,
2013 at the City of Roseville. All officers representing various law enforcement agencies in
Ramsey County (excluding St. Paul) were honored who have been killed while in the line of
duty.
Different ceremonies and events were held throughout the metro area, as well as in
Washington, D.C where the names of all law enforcement officers across the country who
have died during the past year are recognized.

On June 20, 2013, officers responded to a report of a stabbing at 7750 Silver Lake Rd. A 49
year old deceased male was discovered after sustaining a stab wound. The suspect, who
was injured from a fall from the 3rd floor balcony, was apprehended at the scene and later
charged with two counts of murder in the second degree. The 51 year old male suspect is in
custody awaiting a potential trial. Officers from the New Brighton Police Department, the
State Patrol, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department and the BCA all provided invaluable
assistance during the response and investigation. The SBM Fire Department also provided
key assistance with the use of a ladder truck to help evacuate apartment tenants from a
balcony, so as not to contaminate the crime scene. In addition, SBM Fire provided their
command vehicle for the initial hours at the crime scene.
The department has launched some new technology during this period with the
implementation of an electronic citation system and soon to follow, the automated license
plate reader program. The electronic citation (e-ticket) system allows the generation of
citations during a traffic stop all through the use of the officer’s laptop computer. No longer
will handwritten tickets be necessary. The e-ticket can be printed off through a compact
printer located in the squad and delivered to the motorist at the scene of the stop. The whole
process takes less time for both the officer and the citizen being stopped. The ticket is then
sent electronically to the state court system. The goal of the system is to increase the
efficiency of the overall flow of the ticketing system.
The automated license plate reader system, (ALPR) was obtained through the means of a
state auto theft prevention grant. One unit has already been acquired and a second unit is
soon to be purchased with additional grant funds. The setup and initial training is currently
being coordinated. This system will be mounted on a squad car and can rapidly capture
license plate images and compare them against a database of stolen autos and wanted
persons all in a matter of seconds. Our agency, as well as others in Ramsey County, is
collaborating with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department in a state-wide effort to reduce
auto thefts.
