Report of Attorney: • NEXT COUNCIL WORK SESSION: SEPTEMBER 18, 1997 6:00 PM NEXT COUNCIL MEETING: SEPTEMBER 25, 1997 7:00 PM ADJOURNMENT: i STAFF REPORT NO. 97-2184C MEMO To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator Re: August 11, 1997 City Council Meeting Date: August 7, 1997 Once again I am writing a rather brief memo since I will be out of the office on Friday. I have not seen the agenda yet, so I will address only the issues I have on the agenda at this time. Council Member Trude Resignation: Julie Trude's resignation needs to be accepted by the City Council. I am checking as to whether that needs to be done by resolution or by motion. In your packet will be the charter provision calling for an election within 90 days of the vacancy, which begins September 1. With that in mind, I would suggest the election that is to be held for filling the vacancy be scheduled for the normal first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, being November 4. I think most people would find that regular election date to be acceptable. The Council can discuss this on Monday evening and I will check with the attorney as to how the Council should go about setting the election date. Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Anthony Properties: This is the agreement for the City to require Anthony Properties to compensate the City for time and exclusivity in reviewing options for their possible development in the community center/City Hall area. Cathy Bennett is working on this for the Council Monday night, although I will be presenting it in her absence that evening. In addition, the EDA will also need to act on the agreement, the same agreement, and therefor the EDA will need to call to order Monday. In related work, the University of Minnesota Design Center met with Cathy and myself on Wednesday. They will be back to us next week with some more work. I would like to add their work to the August 18 work session, which the Council set aside for budget review, in order to review some concepts and begin involvement of the Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission. I do not anticipate it adding more than 45 minutes to the August 18 meeting, but I do think it is necessary to begin discussing concepts to see if there is any options the community may want with the Anthony development opportunity. Community Development Director Position: I will have this item on the agenda Monday evening, although I do not anticipate having a final candidate for recommendation for the Council that evening. Cathy and I spent all day Thursday interviewing candidates and feel two or three are very strong. I will need to follow up on their background and references, plus review some written work we had them do. Also,terms for employment have not been discussed yet. What I may ask Monday evening, depending on what I get done on Monday,is to be granted tentative approval for a candidate pending satisfactory completion of the background information. This would allow me to bring someone on staff sooner than waiting for the August 25 meeting for Council confirmation. I will discuss this on Monday, and provide the Council with the preferred candidates at that time. • Mayor McCartywill not be available Monday evening. I will call Roger Koopmeiners on Monday to prepare for the meeting. Also, remember Pam Sheldon's going away reception starts at 6 p.m. at City Hall. Have a good weekend.

It IF 20 will cost the city additional funds just to fill the gap between Ms. Sheldon's departure and the hiring of a new 21 Community Development Director. He always understood that a salary increase was based upon previous 22 work history and what is projected. Therefore he feels it is inappropriate to approve the increase. 23 24 A discussion followed in regard to the criteria in which step adjustments are awarded. Mr.Whiting explained 25 that the step adjustment is done on an employee's anniversary date,(which for Ms. Sheldon is 26 July 29)unless past performance indicates differently.

The cut 2 which was made from the Highway 610 to the Old County Road J has dumped traffic onto Long Lake Road. 3 Promises were made by MNDOT that this would be taken out if it created problems. Mr.Fritz stated with the 4 theater development,additional traffic will be generated on Long Lake Road. He would like to see something 5 done about this. 6 7 Jerry Linke,2319 Knollwood Drive,explained that there is a caveat in the approval process whereby if certain 8 conditions were met,it could constitute removal of the intersection. He encouraged the Council to check with 9 the Police Departments for Mounds View,Blaine,and the Highway Department to obtain the number of 10 accidents that have occurred at the site. 11 12 Mr.Linke noted the memo of July 25, 1997 to the City Council in regard to proposed re-alignment of 13 Edgewood as part of the redevelopment project proposed for the south side of Highway 10. He noted that this 14 would eliminate the soccer field and wondered if the Park&Recreation Department was aware of this 15 proposal. He stated the city is already short on soccer field space and this would only add to the problem. 16 17 Mayor McCarty explained that this is at a very preliminary stage and that he does not believe the city would 18 intend to eliminate a field without replacing it. He noted that there is still much research to be done to 19 determine the feasibility and the city intends to fully involve the public in the process. Again,he noted that theIIIP 20 proposal is in a very preliminary stage. 21 22 Mr.Whiting stated that there would never be any decisions made that were not in the best interest of the 23 community. 24 25 David Jahnke,8428 Eastwood Road,asked for an agenda clarification on the presentation by MSP Real Estate 26 for the development proposal for the Silver Lake Commons area. Mayor McCarty explained that the Council 27 would be recessing their meeting at approximately 8:00 p.m.to move to the EDA Meeting for the Public 28 Hearing in regard to this item. 29 30 PUBLIC HEARINGS: 31 32 There were no Public Hearings scheduled for this meeting. 33 34 COUNCIL BUSINESS: 35 36 Mayor McCarty noted that he would like to have the Council consider Item 11 (C)at this time. 37 38 C.

Ms. 14 Sheldon noted that there is a contingency whereby if the city notifies the developer in writing of the need for 15 additional parking,the developer would need to provide it within three months(with a consideration for 16 weather). The Planning Commission indicated their desire to see how the project worked with the agreed upon 17 ratio. 18 19 VOTE: 3 ayes 2 nays(Trude/Stigney) Motion Carried • 20 21 B.

Pae 2 Page • July 14, 1997 Mounds View City Council MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Koopmeiners to approve the minutes of the June 23, 1997 City Council meeting AS AMENDED. VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays 1 Abstain(McCarty) Motion Carried ACCEPTANCE OF ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES: There were no Advisory Commission Minutes for consideration at this meeting. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS: There was no Special Order of Business. CONSENT AGENDA: Mr.Whiting presented the Consent Agenda as follows: A. Approve Just and Correct Claims Against City Funds. B. Approval of Step Adjustments. 1110 C. Approval of Recording Secretary Service Agreement. D. Approval of Declaring Surplus Computers and Printers. E. LICENSES FOR APPROVAL: Mr.Whiting briefly mentioned the different categories for which licenses and license renewals were being requested. Mayor McCarty,in reference to Item D of the Consent Agenda,noted that it has been the City's policy in the past to have the equipment go to auction. He wondered if there would be a problem if the city chose to donate the public property if it were no longer usable. Attorney Long stated he believes technically the city needs to give notice that the property is available. The city does not need to have a"public auction"but the city needs to determine that there is no resale value. It was felt that perhaps this item should be pulled from the Consent Agenda for further information. Council member Trude noted that Items 8(B)and(C)do not have a resolution,therefore she felt they should be pulled and acted on separately. MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Koopmeiners to approve the step adjustment for the Finance Director,the Administration/Finance Department Secretary and the Receptionist.

VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Discussion of Item 8(F): Ms. Sheldon explained that originally staff was recommending denial of the license for Asphalt Driveway Co.,however representatives of the company were present and wished to discuss the situation with the Council prior to them making a decision. Ms. Sheldon provided the Council with a brief summary of the situation noting that staff is particularly concerned with the fact that the contractor does not have a license and that driveways are being installed without one. 1111 Steve Hanon,2458 Sheldon Street,General Manager with Asphalt Driveway Co., explained that they are presently licensed in 37 communities in the Twin Cities area and install over 2,000 driveways each year. Their company posts a sign on the properties of all of their jobs and they did not intend to hide anything. He stated their company is at fault and they will do whatever is necessary to correct anything that is wrong with the driveways that were installed in the past few years without a permit. He noted that permits are not required for driveways in all communities and he believes this is how the mistake occurred. MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Stigney to approve the License for Asphalt Driveway Co.,on the condition that they are willing to correct any problems(code violations)with the driveways that have been put in since 1995 and take care of any fines for failing to obtain permits. VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried RESIDENTS REOUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR: Lawrence Syverud,5059 Rainbow Lane,stated it is his understanding that the city requires an Orsat test on newly installed furnaces. He has been trying for two years to get the Building Inspector to do this. A test was supposed to have been done on April 29, 1997 by Anderson Heating&Air Conditioning,however he does not understand how this test could have been properly completed as the person who came out did not have any of the necessary equipment with him. Anderson Heating&Air Conditioning charged him for a permit as a part of the overall cost,however he does not believe one was ever obtained. Mr. Syverud explained that it is the responsibility of the Building Inspector to see that this test is completed. Council member Koopmeiners stated he contacted Elroy Burdahl at the Department of Administration for the State Building=Code who suggested that the manufacturer of the furnace company be contacted and ask that a representative come out and perform an Appliance Performance Test on the furnace. APPRO\JED Page 4 • July 14, 1997 Mounds View City Council A discussion followed. Ms. Sheldon explained that the Orsat test is a requirement,however it has not been past practice to have an inspector present while the test is being done;the city relies on the company's reputability to conduct this test. The Council will need to determine how they want to handle this in the future. Mayor McCarty stated he believes the city has the responsibility to see that the job is done adequately. He stated he feels we must enforce the city code. MOTION/SECOND: McCarty/Quick to direct staff to find someone capable of performing the test, ordering it done,paying for the test and then assessing the cost to the contractor at first opportunity. MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Trude to table this until more research can be done. VOTE: 3 ayes 2 nays(McCarty/Quick) Motion Carried Council member Trude suggested that staff determine what the cost would be for this type of test. She believes that contacting a manufacturer's representative would be wise. Ms.Sheldon stated she would check with the Building Inspector to see if he can provide a list of the companies that are doing this testing procedure and will report back at the next meeting. Mr. Stigney stated he would like to know the current method of testing in other communities. He asked Ms. Sheldon to check to see if a CO2 test was completed at the time of installation. Paul Johnson,5259 Greenfield Avenue,stated at one time the city was proposing to put in a cul-de-sac at County Road H-2 and Greenfield. At that time,residents did not want it,however,now with the change in traffic,they would be open to the idea and he wondered if it was still a possibility. Mayor McCarty stated he would have staff review it to see if there is potential for a cul-de-sac in that area and will keep them informed. Janice Johnson,5259 Greenfield Avenue,asked if Mounds View intends to do anything about the sewer system. They have had numerous problems over the years with sewer in their basement and she believes it is a problem with the city sewer system. Mr.Ulrich explained that he is aware of one problem several years ago caused by sticks which were dropped through the manhole,where the city responded accordingly. He explained that the city attempts to provide maintenance to the entire sewer system once every four years. He noted that the city has done some research of the system on Greenfield Avenue with regard to the elevation of the sanitary sewer and the outlet of the residential lateral,however they have not provided any type of televising or inspection of this property owner's service so he does not have an explanation as to why this has been a problem. Often times,a problem is found in the residential service. He reminded homeowners that if they clean their residential service,they are requested to notify the Public Works Department. Sherry Gunn,8120 Red Oak Court,on behalf of the Science Math Academy for girls that was held at Pinewood School,presented a letter from the teachers to the city thanking them for all their help in instrumenting the projects. She also provided the Council with a copy of the report of the Rice Creek observation which they put together. PUBLIC BEARINGS: • There were no Public Hearings scheduled for this meeting. Page 5 APPROVED • July 14, 1997 Mounds View City Council COUNCIL BUSINESS; A. Consideration of Resolution No.5142,Authorizing a Feasibility Study for the Reconstruction of Spring Lake Road and County Road L Mr.Ulrich provided a brief history of the project. He explained that the city did receive a petition signed by a number of people stating that they do not want the road any wider than it currently is and only wish to have it re-surfaced. He informed them that he could not make that recommendation to the Council. He noted that the City has received a proposal from SEH for a feasibility study which would answer a number of questions, put together a mock assessment roll and explain why certain design standards would be recommend. This would be presented at the next informational meeting with the residents on August 19, 1997. Mayor McCarty stated his concern is that everyone affected be notified of the proposed improvements. Council member Trude suggested that an information summary be put together and delivered to the homes. She feels it is very important to have open communication between the residents and the city staff. . Barb Haake,3024 County Road I,asked how a road is turned back from Ramsey County;is it requested by the city? Mr.Ulrich provided an explanation of the process,noting that the turn back roads are rated to determine the amount of reconstruction funds they must provide the city with in order to bring it up to standards. The County's other option is to reconstruct the road prior to turning it back to the city. Ms.Haake stated the residents were told that MSA funds would likely be available to help reduce some of the costs. Mr.Ulrich explained how the MSA funds work,noting that these funds pay for the actual project,but that the assessments that come in for the next ten years may then be used to fund other projects in the city to provide cash flow and also maintenance needs on the streets to lessen the burden for remaining road construction. Ms.Haake noted that she,along with some other residents,own six inches of property under the actual road and there is not right-of-way at all on a portion of County Road I. In regard to drainage,she stated that those in the Watershed District will be closely watching the drainage of Spring Lake Road,as they would like to see some areas in which the water could be held and purified before it goes into Spring Lake. Charles Young,3032 County Road I, stated he owns two lots and when the sewer was put it,the city stopped the line between the two of them. He has been told that he gets water and sewer from Fridley on Lot 56,so he wondered why Mounds View would run the water line over the lot that Fridley services. Mr.Ulrich explained that properties on Pleasant view between County Road I and Bronson are served by the City of Fridley, including Mr. Young's lot#56. However,his home is served by Lot 55,where sewer service is provided by Mounds View(he does not have city water). Mr.Young also explained that he got taxed for half of a 66 foot roadway on County Road I. He has a blueprint showing this,and he is wondering why the road is going to be widened if this is the case. Mr. Ulrich admitted that there are some extreme right-of-way problems in the area. The County has a 66 foot right- of-way,but the road is only 24 feet wide. The road does at least border the resident's property,and possible infringes on it. Mayor McCarty stated the city would take Mr.Young's concerns into consideration and will take appropriate action. Page 6 �' � � � i July 14, 1997 Mounds View City Council Pete Hawkins,.3008 County Road I,stated he is concerned about the traffic volume and the semi-truck traffic on County Road I. He feels if this road is being turned back to the city,it should become a city road,not a major highway. Additionally,the property marker on his property is not indicative of the corner of his property. The real boundary is out in County Road I under the pavement. Mayor McCarty stated the property lines will all be established as a part of the project. Mr.Ulrich explained that the city cannot restrict trucks from using the road as it is a MSA road and vehicles of heavy volume pay the most sales and gas tax,thereby providing a good portion of the funds. One solution may be to call the trucking companies and ask them to have their truckers use the major highway system instead of using the residential streets. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Koopmeiners to approve Resolution No.5142,Authorizing a Feasibility Study for the Reconstruction of Spring Lake Road and County Road I. VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried A)(1) Approving the Bids for Sealcoating. Mr.Ulrich explained that the city had a bid opening for the 1997 sealcoat project. There were two bidders who submitted bids;one(Bituminous Roadways,Inc.)who was disqualified as he did not meet the bid • specifications. The next qualified bidder was Allied Blacktop in the amount of$82,970.60. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Koopmeiners to award the sealcoat bid to Allied Blacktop in the amount of $82,970.60. Mr.Ulrich asked if the Council could authorize the Director of Public Works to sign change orders up to 15% of the project bid. Council members Quick and Koopmeiners accepted this amendment as a part of the original motion. VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried B. Consideration of Resolution No.5143,A resolution Authorizing the filing of an application for a local Planning Assistance Grant from Metropolitan Council. Ms. Sheldon explained that staff has prepared a grant application to go to the Metropolitan Council for money that would assist the city in updating its Comprehensive Plan,which is required by State Law to be completed by November of 1998. The city is asking for the maximum amount of$20,000 which would go along with a city investment of$73,000. Mayor McCarty noted a minor correction to Resolution No.5143. The first paragraph should be changed to read"WHEREAS,the City of Mounds View initiated its current Comprehensive Plan in 1977.. ."

WOODCREST PARK: Commissioners met at Woodcrest Park before the meeting to observe the Community Gardens and to discuss ways to improve the gardens next year. iIn addition, Commissioners observed the improvements to the park building including new siding, windows and doors. Director Saarion informed the Commission that repairs to the park building are Band-Aid affects-the building continues to deteriorate and will need to be replaced within 5 - 10 years. The joists are warping making the building sag and foundation boards are rotting. Part of this is because of the high water table at the parks. Being an all wooden building, it is more prone to be affected by frequent wet and moisture. The playground equipment is still in very good condition. It has had little graffiti and vandalism and has stood the test of time very well. The sand volleyball court at Woodcrest is used almost never and therefore Commissioner Starr made a motion seconded by Commissioner Gunn to remove the sand volleyball court and replace it with sod for a play area.

One was that they wanted to see how the community gardens operated yet this year to see whether or not the gardens were vandal»ed, well kept by users, functional and what the z demand will be in the future. Commissioners agreed to look into • possibilities for landscaping to make the gardens more beautiful, while being careful not to put a lot of cost nor labor requirements into the gardens.

The regulations also require a permit be obtained for any development in a wetland zoning district. This permit is referred to as a wetland alteration permit. The authority for issuing permits is either administrative or by City Council, depending on the proposed activity. Staff is proposing changes to Section 1010 to address two main issues, which are noted below. These issues were discussed with City Council at a worksession on May 5, 1997, and the proposed ordinance was discussed at a worksession on August 4, 1997. The issues are: • adding typical, minor construction projects to the list of activities for which administrative authority is given for issuing permits • creating two types of permits: a wetland alteration permit and a wetland buffer permit to eliminate confusion With respect to the first issue, the items which are now listed under administrative permits include: 1. repair or maintenance of any lawful use existing on the effective date of the ordinance 2. alterations within the wetland buffer zone (which) do not extend into or impact the adjacent wetland 3. public or private utility work on existing facilities 4. installation and maintenance of fences 5. landscaping and impervious surfaces up to 864 square feet 6. detached garages and accessory buildings ill 7. grading which does not adversely alter storm water storage capacity, storm water flow direction or runoff intensity 8. temporary structures not requiring permanent foundations or pads for support 1 City of Mounds View Staff Report August 7, 1997 Page 2 • Staff is suggesting that building additions and impervious surfaces which are 1264 square feet in size or less, and additions to detached garages, accessory buildings and driveways which do not require a conditional use permit be added to this list. This would simplify the process for homeowners who want to add porches, decks, patios and room additions. Planning Commission has suggested that item#5 above be changed to allow administrative approval for landscaping up to 1264 square feet. This change has been made to the proposed ordinance. With respect to the second issue, staff is proposing that two different terms be used for permits. When the term"wetland alteration permit" is used for activities in the wetland buffer, it creates confusion for citizens, because it sounds like work is being contemplated or allowed in the wetland. Creating a separate"wetland buffer" permit would eliminate this confusion. A copy of the proposed ordinance revisions is attached. What follows is a detailed list of the key changes. Page 2 Creating two types of permits: wetland alteration and wetland buffer permits. Using the term"wetland alteration permit" for all permits, whether they are in the buffer or in the wetland itself, causes some confusion with citizens and applicants and often gives the wrong impression that work will be done in the wetland when it will not. Provision has been made where a project overlaps between the wetland and the buffer that only one permit is required, and it shall be reviewed by the City Council if any of the activities require City Council action. Page 3-5 Standards for Approval of Permits has been reorganized to group items under topics, so the discussion in staff reports of whether or not standards have been met can be done by topic rather than for 21 criteria. Page 5-6 Standards for Denial of Permits are the same as are now in the ordinance, but are underlined because they have been moved from Section 1010.09. Page 6-7 Building and structural additions to a principal building where the addition does not exceed 1264 square feet have been added to items which can be approved by Administrative Authority i.e. Director of Community Development. The revisions also clarify that additions to detached garages, accessory buildings and driveways which do not require a conditional use permit, can be approved by Administrative Authority. • Page 8 The considerations in granting approval are stricken because they have been moved from this section to Page 10. City of Mounds View Staff Report August 8, 1997 0 Page 3 Page 10 Clarifies that action by City Council is to be done by resolution, and action by the Director of Community Development by written notice. Page 11 The section on variances and appeals has been changed to address appeals only. Staff feels that it is a duplication of effort to require an applicant to get both a variance and a wetland alteration or wetland buffer permit. The permit procedure substitutes for a variance. Recommendation: Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0, and staff recommend approval of Ordinance No. 602, an ordinance related to wetland zoning regulations and amending Title 1000, Chapter 1010, Sections 1010.07, 1010.08, and 1010.09 of the Mounds View Municipal Code.

Recreation Areas or Parks: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code to the contrary, a person may develop a Municipally-owned recreation area or park facility on City-owned lands which will involve the development within a wetland zoning district as part of an integrated plan, comprising not less than seventy five (75) acres, where such development would reasonably conserve, preserve and enhance the environment by providing facilities that would protect the public health, safety and welfare. Subd. 4 Standards for Approval of Permits: No permit shall be issued unless the City finds and determines that the proposed development complies with the following standards as stated in this Subd. 4. Eoa,k,il as set fog th i i Suction 1010.09 of this Ehaptvr. Approval of either a wetland alteration permit or wetland buffer permit shall constitute approval of a variance to the requirements of this Chapter 1010. . a. Minimum Alteration in Ecological and Hydrological Characteristics: A minimum alteration of a wetland may be allowed when necessary for the use of property but only when it will not have a substantially or significantly adverse effect, as determined by the City, upon the ecological and hydrological characteristics of the wetland. However, in no case shall the restrictions set out below in Section 1010.08 Subd. 3.a.(1)-(6)be exceeded. Since the extent of alteration which can be permitted is limited, the City, when considering a permit application, shall consider equal apportionment of alteration opportunity. The alteration opportunity within the wetland shall be allocated among property owners in proportion to the area of wetland located within each property. (1) Any alteration shall not cause a reduction in the flood storage capacity of the wetland. Flood storage capacity shall be determined by analysis of the runoff from the entire developed wetland drainage district resulting from both the 2-year and 100-year frequency, 24-hour SCS Type I distribution storms. (2) An alteration shall not reduce the existing water quality enhancement value of a wetland under conditions of ultimate development, during both the 2-year and 100-year frequency, 24-hour SCS Type I distribution storms. Water quality enhancement value of wetland shall be determined using methods approved by the City. (3) Any alteration shall not reduce the existing wildlife habitat value of a wetland as measured using methods approved by the City. • (4.)05) Alterations shall be carried out so as to minimize the impact on vegetation. Ordinance 602 • July 14, 1997 Page 4 Removal of vegetation within a wetland zoning district shall be permitted only when reasonably required for the placement of structures and use of property. (6r) Alterations shall not adversely affect the water flow characteristics within the wetland as determined by the City. (.6)(-1-4) Storm water runoff from a development may be directed to the wetland when in conformance with the Local Water Management Plan' and only when substantially, as determined by the Council, free of sediment, debris and chemical pollutants and only at rates which will not substantially disturb vegetation or increase turbidity as determined by the City. C_7)(-1-5) The proposed action shall not cause storm water runoff from the development to take place at a rate which would exceed the rate or volume of runoff as anticipated by the City's Local Water Management Plane. 1 i(-i-6) The quality of water infiltrated to the water table or aquifer shall remain substantially, as determined by the City, unchanged by the alteration of the site. S (9) No part of any sewage disposal system requiring on-land or in-ground disposal of waste shall be located closer than one hundred feet (100') from the wetland. All on-land or in-ground sewage disposal systems shall meet criteria set out in Minnesota Rule 6, MCAR 4.8040,Individual Sewage Treatment System Standard (10) Waste which would normally be disposed of at a solid or hazardous waste disposal site or which would normally be discharged into a sewage disposal system or sewer shall not be, directly or indirectly, discharged to a wetland. b. Soil Conditions: Control of Erosion: .j(11) Construction erosion control measures and retention facilities shall be designed to limit soil loss from the development site to not more than five (5)tons per acre per year. Plans and supporting documentation for such measures and facilities shall be developed and approved by the City prior to commencement of construction. 12).(12) The applicant for the wetland alteration permit or wetland buffer permit shall be required to demonstrate that, after the development is completed, the conditions 410' See Chapter 1302 of this Code. 2 See Chapter 1302 of this Code. . Ordinance 602 July 14, 1997 Page 5 on site will be stabilized such that the yearly soil loss from the site will not be greater than five-tenths (0.5) ton per acre per year. )(-i�j Sediment and soil loss shall be determined utilizing the Universal Soil Loss Equation as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Technical Field Guide, as amended from time to time, as provided for Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District. (4) Only fill substantially free of chemical pollutants and wastes, as determined by the City, may be used. (1).(-1-9-)A building's minimum elevation permitted in a wetland zoning district shall be as defined in the Local Water Management Plana. f61(- 9) No alteration shall be allowed which will endanger the health, safety or welfare of persons or which may result in unusual road maintenance costs or utility line breakages due to soil limitations, including high frost action. (- Scheduling of work: Work in the wetland will not be performed during the breeding season of water fowl or fish spawning season. i- Size of area: The size of the altered area shall be limited to the minimum required for the proposed action. •1 • • , • .1 • • • •.•1 •• • , .. • • • •• • 1 •• , .I • •. • .w • . • • •• . • . •, (18) All ac.,essury buildings, as dzfilled in'Mk 1100 of this Code, shall be svt back not less than the require,m>>ts sct forth id subdivision 1104.01(3) of this Cod..- • .. • • . . •• . •• .A . • �� . . • • • 1 • only when rtasonably rquir..d fur the placement of sty actur...s add us.. of property.

Meeting Date: August 11, 1997 Type of Business: Public Hearing WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA:Consent Agenda;CB:Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mayor and City Council From: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Consideration of Resolution No. 5145, A Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Children's Home Society at 5394 Edgewood Drive; Planning Case No. 499-97 Date of Report: August 8, 1997 Summary: The Children's Home Society is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to operate a day care center in the Mounds View Community Center at 5394 Edgewood Drive. The day care center would provide care for up to 98 children, ages six weeks through kindergarten, with hours from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday on a year round basis. When the program reaches full capacity of 98 children, the number of full time staff members will be 19 people. Staff has received notification from the Minnesota Department of Human Services that Children's Home Society has applied for the necessary license from that agency. The specific number of children served on this site will depend on the number authorized by the State license. The proposal would use approximately 9375 square feet in an existing building. This building, which was purchased by the City in 1996, is being renovated and will become the Mounds View Community Center. The Children's Home Society is one of two tenant users expected in the building. The anticipated occupancy date for Children's Home Society is August 18. On April 14, 1997, the City Council amended the Mounds View Zoning Code to add day care centers as an allowed use in the B-3 zoning district with approval of a conditional use permit. The criteria applicable to this use established at that time are stated in the attached Resolution No. 5145, along with findings as to how this application meets the criteria. Issues deserving particular mention include: • Outside Play Space: The site plan shows a fenced tot lot which would measure 25 feet by 126 feet, or 3175 square feet. Based on the requirement of having 40 square feet of play space per child, a total of 3920 square feet of play space is needed if 98 children are served. It appears that it would be very easy to expand the tot lot to the property line, so the depth would be 30 feet rather than 25 feet, and to add an additional 30 x 25 foot area • on the south end of the total lot. With these changes, the tot lot would occupy 4500 square feet, which is more than the required 3800 square feet. The actual number of children to be served will depend on the license issued by the Department of Human Services. A condition requiring that a outdoor play area meeting the required space ratio be in place during the life of the permit, except that during the first year of operation, the City of Mounds View Staff Report August 8, 1997 Page 2 applicant may use the playground facility in City Hall Park as an alternative to meet the requirement for an outdoor play area. It is our understanding that the tot lot will be in an unfinished state for the remainder of this year, until the site work for the overall community center is done in the spring. (The area proposed for a tot lot needs to be regraded to get positive drainage from the building to Bronson Drive.) Children's Home Society is planning to use the playground in City Hall Park as an alternative during this period of time. There is a condition to this effect in the resolution, including a requirement that Children's Home Society provide liability insurance which would hold the City harmless for their use of City Hall Park. Planning Commission suggested a condition that the Director of Public Works determine if it is feasible for a crosswalk to be painted across Edgewood between the Community Center and City Hall Park, and signage be installed to facilitate the children crossing from the Community Center to the playground in the park. A condition to that effect has been included in the resolution. ■ Parking and Access: The Mounds View Zoning Code requires one space for each child, plus 1 additional space for each classroom. An analysis of parking requirements has been included on the site plan. This analysis shows 20 spaces for the day care center. The number is consistent with the parking ratio required. (98 children/7 children per space= 14; 1 space per classroom= 6 spaces; total required=20 spaces) We are assuming that the applicant is counting the infant, toddler and transition spaces as classrooms. Planning Commission suggested that signage be installed in the short term parking area and to direct parents to the drop-off area so facilitate smooth traffic flow and prevent the drop-off parking spaces from being used for long term parking. A condition to this effect is included. Planning Commission also suggested that attention be given to the parking bays located just south of the Community Center between Edgewood and the main entrance, and that these spaces not end up being used exclusively for staff parking for the day care center. A condition to this effect is also included. • Access to Arterial or Collector Street: The criteria for evaluating conditional use permits for day care centers include that the street providing access be either an arterial or collector street. It is our understanding that the purpose of this criterion is to make sure that a day care center is not located in the middle of a single family residential neighborhood on a low-volume street, where it would cause commotion. The Zoning Code does not specify what source shall be used to determine if a street providing access to a day care center is a collector or arterial street. Given the activity levels associated . with City Hall and the former Bel Rae Ballroom, the activity levels expected at the Mounds View Community Center, and the anticipated connection of Edgewood Drive to a four-way, signalized intersection with Highway 10, it is stars view that Edgewood Drive in this location is functioning as a collector street and therefore provides adequate access City of Mounds View Staff Report August 8, 1997 • Page 3 to the proposed day care center without any significant disruption to surrounding residential neighborhoods. Edgewood Drive is classified as a local street in the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission made a finding that this classification is not consistent with the way the street functions and recommended that this classification be revised. A condition of approval has been included that a Comprehensive Plan amendment be initiated to change the classification for Edgewood Drive from a local street to a collector street. Both the Planning Commission and staff feel that the intent of this criterion has been met. ■ Signage: No signage proposal has been included in the permit application and it is unknown what the plans have been made for signage for this facility. A condition requiring that any signage proposal be in accordance with the Mounds View Sign Code, and with any overall sign package for the Community Center established by the City of Mounds View, is included as a condition in the proposed resolution. Planning Commission suggested that signage be installed designating the short term parking area, to assure that it remains available for dropping off and picking up children and is not used for long term parking. They also recommended that there be directional signage to facilitate traffic flow through the drop-off area. A condition to this effect is included in the proposed resolution. • • , Distance to Highway 10: The day care center is approximately 550 feet between the play yard and the closest point along the Highway 10 right-of-way, which exceeds the minimum required distance of 200 feet. • Distance to Premises Holding Licenses for Adult Businesses or Liquor: There are no businesses holding a license for adult businesses or liquor within 500 feet of this property. Recommendation: Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0, and staff recommend approval of Resolution No. 5145, a resolution approving a conditional use permit for the Children's Home Society at 5394 Edgewood Drive. 1,TAA) Ski Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director Attachments: City Council Resolution No. 5145 Planning Application Letter from Applicant Zoning Map Planning Commission Resolution No. 521-97 • Site Plan(separate print) Floorplan(separate print) cc: Jackie Olafson, Children's Home Society, 1605 Eustis Street, St. Paul MN 55108-1219 N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DE VCASES\499-97\CHILHOME.CC 1 RESOLUTION NO. 5145 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY TO OPERATE A DAY CARE CENTER AT 5394 EDGEWOOD DRIVE; PLANNING CASE NO. 499-97 WHEREAS, the Children's Home Society has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a day care center at 5394 Edgewood Drive, which property is zoned B-3 and is legally described as: SUBJECT TO EASEMENTS AND EXCLUDING THE EAST 66 FEET, THE NORTH 300 FEET OF LOT 16 AND ALL OF LOTS 19 THRU 22, BLOCK 5, PINEWOOD TERRACE NO. 2 WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code allows day care centers in the B-3 zoning district, with approval of a conditional use permit; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the following documents regarding this proposal: 1.

A condition has been included that requires a tot lot be in place meeting the required space ratio during the life of the permit. In addition, a condition has been included to address the temporary use of the playground in City Hall Park for the first year of operation until site grading for the community center is completed. d. Adequate off-street parking and access is provided in compliance with Chapter 1121 of this Title. The Mounds View Zoning Code includes a parking requirement for day schools at one • space for each child, plus 1 additional space for each classroom. An analysis of parking requirements has been included on the site plan for the Mounds View Community Center, where the Children's Home Society day care center will be located. This analysis shows 20 spaces for the day care center. The number is consistent with the parking ratio required. (98 children/7 children per space= 14; 1 space per classroom= 6 spaces; total required=20 spaces). The infant, toddler and transition room have been counted as classrooms. e. Adequate off-street loading and service entrances are provided in compliance with Chapter 1122 of this Title. Chapter 1122 includes a schedule of off-street loading requirements based on the type of use proposed. Day care centers are not included as a use requiring loading berths, and therefore no requirement applies to this proposal. f. The site and related parking and service entrances shall be served by an arterial or collector street of sufficient capacity to accommodate the traffic which will be generated. The Mounds View Zoning Code does not indicate what measure shall be used to determine if a street providing access to a day care center is a collector or arterial street. • Given the activity levels associated with City Hall and the former Bel Rae Ballroom, the activity levels expected at the Mounds View Community Center, and the anticipated connection of Edgewood Drive to a four-way, signalized intersection with Highway 10, it Resolution 5145 CUP for Children's Home Society August 11, 1997 Page 3 is City Council's finding that Edgewood Drive in this location is functioning as a collector street and therefore provides adequate access to the proposed day care center without any significant disruption to surrounding residential neighborhoods. Edgewood Drive is classified as a local street in the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan. City Council does not regard this classification as consistent with the way the street is function and recommends that this classification be revised. A condition of approval has been included that a Comprehensive Plan amendment be initiated to change the classification for Edgewood Drive from a local street to a collector street. g. All signing and informational or visual communication devices shall be in compliance with the Mounds View Sign Code. A condition of approval has been included which requires any signage proposal be in accordance with the Mounds View Sign Code, and with any overall sign package for the Community Center established by the City of Mounds View. h. The distance between any outdoor play yard for a day care center or group nursery and the Highway 10 right-of-way line shall be a minimum of 200 • feet,except as provided in Section 1123.02 Subd.1.c. It is approximately 550 feet between the play yard and the closest point along the Highway 10 right-of-way, which exceeds the minimum distance of 200 feet. i. No day care center or group nursery shall be permitted where the distance from the property line for the day care center or group nursery to a premise requiring a liquor license,as provided in Section 502 of the Municipal Code, or a license for an adult establishment,as provided in Section 513 of the Municipal Code,is five hundred(500)feet or less,except that the 500 foot requirement shall not apply to any liquor establishment receiving at least sixty percent of its annual gross sales revenue from the sale of food. There are no businesses holding a license for adult businesses or liquor within 500 feet of this property.

Adequate staff shall be in residence if children are being housed overnight for emergency care. 5. Twenty parking spaces shall be made available to the day care center as part of the overall parking plan for the.Mounds View Community Center. The spaces shown for short term drop-off parking shall not be counted toward the twenty required spaces. 6.

Parcel A would be 8,734 square feet and 55 feet wide at the street and Parcel B would be 6,956 square feet and have 35 feet of frontage on Silver Lake Road. Both lots would be above the minimum lot size of 6,250 square feet for zero lot line developments. There are existing five-foot drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the existing lot. The applicants propose an additional five feet of easement in the front and rear of both lots (10 feet total). The Planning Commission in Resolution 516-97 recommended approval of this minor subdivision request at its last meeting on August 6, 1997. In a related action, the Planning Commission in Resolution 510-97 approved a variance to allow a reduction in the minimum lot width for Parcel B, from the required 50 feet to 34 feet.

Resolution 5147 Karlen Minor Subdivision of 7720/7730 Silver Lake Road August 11, 1997 Page 2 Analysis: The minimum square footage for total lot area required by the Code is 12,500 feet. Even though this twinhome was built before the current regulations covering zero lot-line developments were implemented, the property exceeds the minimum lot area requirement with 15,690 total square feet for both parcels. The applicants have provided a Certificate of Survey for the subject property located at 7720 and 7730 Silver Lake Road. This survey shows the proposed property lines and easements and the legal descriptions for both parcels and easements. There would be no physical changes associated with this minor subdivision, other than allowing for either side to be purchased as an owner-occupied unit. As a condition of approval by the Planning Commission, the common wall dividing the two units was to be inspected by the Rick Jarson, the City's building inspector, to verify that it is in conformance with the applicable fire and building codes. This was accomplished on August 7, 1997, at which time the Mr. Jarson indicated the wall did meet these standards. The applicants have executed a document dedicating to the City a perpetual drainage and utility easement over and across the east and west ten feet of the property. • Staff Recommendation: Adopt attached Resolution 5147 approving the minor subdivision of 7720 - PP g 7730 Silver Lake Road for Glenn and Ursula Karlen of 7720/7730 Silver Lake Road, with stipulations. � I James Ericson, Planning Associate , cc: Glenn and Ursula Karlen N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DEVCASES\490-971KARLENCC.RPT • ' ^•f c ©UNDO€:O CONIlI� UNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT • DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION {z 2401 Highway 10, Mounds View MN 55112 a�°n-raratt;$0° 612-784-3055 612-784-3462 -FAX Please Type or Print Information-Complete Both Sides of This Form Applicant Information Name of Applicant Glenn G . & Ursula Karlen Telephone 612 639-9883 Address 2510 Wexford Court Fax 071 , 0:ii4 New nrlgnton, MN 55112 Interest in Property(check appropriate box) X3 Owner of Property ❑ Contact for Deed Owner a Lessee,Operator,Manager ❑ Agreement to Purchase ❑ Other(explain) Applicants must provide evidence of interest in property at the time of application,and if you are not the owner of the p erty,you must provide a letter of permission from the owner giving consent to the filing of this application.

We feel this would be a betterment to the community . We feel that ownership of ones home encourages pride in taking care of the property. There are several other properties along Silver Lake Road that have a zero lot line status. Therefore, we would also like to have this property a zero lot line development. The zero lot line ordinance was adopted after these units were built. However they are built to a party wall specifications. The planning commission approved a variance to allow a reduction in the required lot width for a zero lot line subdivision at 7720-7730 Silver Lake Road.

Members returning from the previous board are Jennifer Bergman, Dave Brick and Marvin Johnson. It was decided that a calendar will be established of different articles from departments with a time line establishing which months certain articles will be published. In the past department heads have been responsible for writting articles but this committee will also actively seek ideas from all staff for the newsletter. Format and production of the newsletter has been good in the past and much of the information published is public relations related. We would like to step up our level of reporting community business and increase announcements and information people feel they need, want or would be interested in. Discussion was held on some of the articles that had generated interest and phone calls from the public. It was decided that we will keep one main article from each department but that certain departments might not need a whole page so other departments with information important to that month could use part of another departments page. We should not worry about just filling up a page but that the •nformation is pertinent and informative. Much of Tracy and Dianes input will be from their involvement with the public both at the front desk and telephone calls regarding questions, information requested and ideas the public may contribute and Tracy's involvement on the department level. We are required by the Charter to print 6 newsletters per year and in the past the budget newsletter has been a separate newsletter. As needed a special edition has been printed regarding any special projects coming up. Discussion was held on how to cut costs, as the type of newsletter we print now is very expensive. Perhaps making some changes on paper quality, cutting back on colored pages and making better use of the size of graphics to make more room for articles. One concern is that cutting quality too much may affect people not reading it. Several people reported on newsletters from other cities and we could look at some of them to see how costs could be saved without cutting too much quality. For a city of our size we are spending a large amount of money on a newsletter. We will continue soliciting advertising from merchants as this is helping to offset costs. Chuck will bring to the next meeting the amount budgeted for the newsletter and Mary will bring information of what the costs have been. The Park and Recreation department will continue to set up the next newsletter with Tracy Sanchez learning to do the set up on the Pagemaker program. The September/October newsletter articles are due to Mary by August 20. A special budget newsletter should go out the middle of November so people have the information before the public hearings held in December. The next editorial board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday August 13 from 11:00 to Noon. Future greetings will be scheduled for the second Wednesday of the month at 11:00 a.m. Submitted by: Diane Clyne n:\data\users\dianec\share\minutes\edit.8-4 MANAGEMENT MEETING MINUTES Tuesday,August 5, 1997 • 9:30 AM Absent: Mary Saarion Mike Ulrich departed at 10:30 a.m. 1 r® � T I un Agenda Additions: '' , ® IV Item 1: Discuss Quarterly reports.

Submitted by: Tracy Sanchez c:\minutes\mngmnt\8-06-97 luiv; ONLY - * IN TER MEMO OF F ICE To: Mayor and City Council From: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director Subject: Results of Research; Requests for Information Date: August 7, 1997 Attached you will find three memos regarding issues which have been discussed by City Council, in response to citizen comments at recent City Council meetings. These memos provide information on the following: • Dog and cat kennels This survey provides information on how dogs and cats are regulated in 11 neighboring cities. We will be preparing an ordinance based on a proposal discussed with the Planning Commission on July 16. The timeline is unknown at this time because of staff changes. • We hope it will be ready for Planning Commission discussion in Fall, 1997. • Orsat tests We will continue to require Orsat tests because they are required by the Uniform Mechnical Code. The value of the test has declined because newer furnaces allow very few adjustments. It is not necessary to get on the roof to do an Orsat test. The cost of the equipment varies from $200-300 up to $3000. We have established a new policy on how to deal with homeowner complaints about how the test was done. If they are convinced the test was not done properly, we will require the contractor to retest the furnace and we will be present during the test. Other cities vary in the diligence with which they pursue this requirement. (Please see the more detailed information in the attached memo.) • Landscaping at Spots Quick Lube We have learned that the spruce trees on the property are three feet rather than the required five feet due to an error by the property owner. He measured from the bottom of the root ball, instead of from the top when buying the trees at the nursery. The Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the trees be left as is, and be allowed to grow into their required height(and of course beyond that height). It is estimated that it will take two years. Meanwhile staff will write a letter to the property owner requiring mulching and watering to encourage healthy growth. • Mayor and City Council • Page 2 August 7, 1997 Actions Requested: We are seeking direction from City Council if you want an opinion from the City Attorney whether the test requirement could be dropped or a different test substituted for the Orsat test. You may want to put this on your worksession for September 2. We are seeking direction whether to allow the spruce trees on the Spots Quick Lube property to remain as is, with a commitment from the property owner to mulch and water them, or to require them to be removed and replaced. N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\CITYCOUN\CC-COMESEARCH.MEM • • • DOG AND CAT ORDINANCE SURVEY (8/8/97) Cities Surveyed Shoreview Fridley Maplewood(fax) Columbia Heights Arden Hills(fax) White Bear Township(fax) Spring Lk Park Roseville(fax) White Bear Lake(fax) New Brighton Vadnais Heights(fax) Cities with the notation(fax) sent copies of their ordinance to us. 1. Maximum Number of Animals: The number of animals allowed before a special permit is required varied from 2 to 4 animals. One half of the cities surveyed referred only to dogs in regards to this limitation, while the other one half refers to the total number of animals, regardless of type. 2. Cat Ordinance: A large majority of the cities(8), require cats to be licenced. In addition, 5 cities have a lease-law for cats and the remaining cities have an ordinance which forbids any animal to run free within the city limits. • 3. Kennels: A. Cannot be a nuisance of any sort: noise, odor, etc.. B. May be inspected at time of application to observe how the applicant will conform to the above requirements, as well as be inspected by the city at any reasonable time thereafter. C. Must provide adequate room for the animals at all times, including room to exercise. D. Lot Size: 5 of the cities specified minimum size requirements. These varied from a minimum lot size of 1 acre, to the applicants lot lines having to be 150-300 feet from all neighboring residents homes. These cities also offer an alternative to this requirement, which is, signed permission by 50-75% of all property owners whose property abuts the applicants, or whose home is within the 150-300 foot distance requirement. Commercial Kennels I called several commercial kennels listed in the yellow pages and found the following: 1. Space provided per animal varied from 3 foot by 3 foot to 4 foot by 8 foot indoor fenced- in areas. Outdoor space varied from 4 foot by 4 foot to 5 foot by 14 foot fenced-in areas. Some kennels provided only indoor units and so they provided 20 foot outdoor runs. • Some kennels have only indoor units, and so 20 foot enclosed runs to periodically exercise the animals are provided. • Dog and Cat Ordinance Survey S August 8, 1997 Page 2 2. All indoor facilities are constructed of concrete floors and chain link fences. 3. All the kennels lock their animals inside at night for both the pets protection and to avoid the possibility of disturbing the neighbors. Next Steps: The Planning Commission held a discussion session on this issue on July 16, 1997. At that time, staff presented a preliminary proposal which would: • Amend Chapter 701 to require licensing of both dog and cat commercial kennels. • Distinguish between pet keeping and kennels. Allow for any combination of dogs and cats which add up to four animals as pets in residential districts. • Require a conditional use permit for kennels. Allow kennels in the R-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-1 districts on any property having at least one acre, with approval of a conditional use permit This proposal seemed reasonable to the citizens in attendance at the meeting. There was some sentiment that kennels should be prohibited in any residential district. • The City may want to consider reducing the lot size requirement in the business and industrial districts, if the property does not abut residential, given the cost of commercial land. Staff will be preparing an ordinance amendment for discussion by Planning Commission and by City Council. We do not have a time line for when this will be before City Council because of staff changes. N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\SPECPRO]\SP054.971SURVEY.MEM • • ORSAT TEST SURVEY 8/8/97 1. Performing The Test: A probe is inserted into the flue a short distance above the furnace. (It is not necessary to get on the roof.) The furnace is left running for a short time in order to allow the flue to warm up. A sample of the flue gas is then taken in order to measure: a. Flue Temperature. b. Carbon Monoxide (CO) c. Carbon Dioxide(CO2) d. Oxygen(02) This procedure normally takes 10 to 20 minutes. If the measurements of the above gases do not fall within the required parameters, the installer must make adjustments in order to correct them. 2. Reasons For This Test: The consensus between both contractors and city inspectors • surveyed is the Orsat test was a necessity with older style furnaces. Most of these furnaces needed some adjusting upon installation in order to operate efficiently and safely. With today's furnaces there is less to adjust and less need for adjusting. Instead the Orsat test allows one to verify the furnace is operating at the degree of efficiency the manufacturer claims, and as a safety feature in case the furnace may be defective or was damaged sometime between being assembled and arriving at the owner's residence. 3. What other Cities are doing: Because the Orsat test is required by the Uniformed Mechanical Code (UMC), most cities surveyed require it to be done. (Cities have not accepted an alternative test as a substitute because the mechanical code is specific to this type of test. None of these cities require the building official to be present to witness the test, but simply ask that the city be given a copy of the results and that a copy be left for the owner. In addition, the importance each of these cities places on this paperwork varied from refusing to sign off on the final inspection until they hadthe results to if they receive the test results great, and if not so be it. 4. Cost of Equipment: The companies performing Orsat tests said that the cost of the equipment can vary from$200-300 to $3000. Conclusions: • Given the information that we have collected, it appears that an Orsat test needs to be done to assure compliance with the Uniform Mechanical Code. We intend to continue requiring this test, unless directed otherwise. As part of our regular procedure, we will accept the report from the Orsat Test Survey • August 8, 1997 Page 2 heating contractor and not make it a requirement that we be present when the test is done. When there is a dispute over whether a test was done correctly, we will explain to the homeowner how the test is done. We will also explain that the test has limited usefulness because the manufacture of furnaces has been improved and there are very few adjustments which can be made. If a resident feels strongly that the test was not done properly and they want the test redone, we will require the test to be redone by the contractor with the building inspector present. We will give the homeowner the responsibility of finding a time which is convenient to both the contractor, the building official, and the homeowner. We would also suggest that the question of whether a different test could be substituted, or if the Orsat test could be dropped by the City, be referred to the City Attorney. N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEWOEDEU\ORSAT.W PD • • • • IN TER MEMO OF F ICE To: Mayor and City Council From: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director Subject: Landscaping at Spots Quick Lube Date: August 8, 1997 We have investigated the situation with the landscaping at Spots Quick Lube, 2975 Highway 10. The site plan approved by Planning Commission and City Council called for spruce trees five feet in height. The applicant thought what was meant was five feet from the bottom of the root ball, which meant that the trees were three feet from ground level after being planted. The typical practice by landscape designers and contractors, and the practice familiar to staff, is to measure from the top of the root ball. Staff has checked with the City Forester to learn how soon the trees will grow to five feet above ground, if they are now three feet. Rick Wriskey thought it would • take 1-2 growing seasons from this year; i.e. probably two years. He also noted it would help speed the growth of the trees if they were mulched and watered. Now that the site is planted, the question is whether or not to require the applicant to remove all the spruce trees and replace them with five foot trees, measured from the top of the root ball. Staff asked Planning Commission for their recommendation on this issue at their meeting on August 6. The six members present were unanimous in saying that the trees should be left as is, and allow them to grow to the required height, rather than requiring replacement. They felt that it would be an excessive cost to a new business, and the site looks beautiful compared to what it used to look like. The business owner has commented that many nearby residents and his customers have commented how pleased they are with how the site looks. Action Requested: Staff is seeking direction from City Council on whether to allow the spruce trees on the Spots Quick Lube property to remain as is, with a commitment from the property owner to mulch and water them, or require them to be removed and replaced. Meanwhile, staff will be more explicit in plan approvals on how coniferous trees are to be measured. N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DEVCASES1472-97\TREES.MEM
