City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jon Sevald, Planner
Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction of Ord 934, amending the
Zoning Map for properties located at 2901 Mounds View
Blvd. and 80XX Groveland Rd. (Planning Case MU2017-
001)
Introduction:
MWF Properties is proposing to construct a 60-unit apartment building at the NW
corner of Mounds View Blvd. & Groveland Rd. The project will require several planning
approvals, including; (1) zoning map amendment, (2) conditional use permit for a
multiple-family dwelling, (3) major subdivision to combine four lots into one lot, and (4)
development review. The current applications are for a zoning map amendment
(rezoning), and a conditional use permit (CUP). Public Hearings for both are scheduled
for the May 8th City Council meeting. If approved, and if the developer obtains financial
assistance, MWF’s intent is to apply at a later date for a major subdivision and
development review.
Analysis:
The proposed project is located on four properties. Multiple-Family Dwellings are not
permitted in the R-1 or B-3 districts, necessitating a rezoning to R-4, where they are
conditionally permitted (CUP).

Item 07A
April 24, 2017
Page 2
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map1 guides the Mounds View Blvd corridor
west of Fairchild Ave. for Mixed Use-Planned Unit Development (MU-PUD), including
the four subject properties. The intent is for development to occur as a PUD for
residential and commercial/office use, although, a “PUD” is not required. No
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is required nor proposed as part of this project.
The minimum project size for a Mixed Use PUD is 4-acres, and 3-acres for Residential
PUD’s 2. PUD’s allow for flexibility not otherwise permitted within the underlying zoning
district (e.g. R-4 High Density Residential). The proposed project is consistent with the
R-4 District, thus, the flexibility of a PUD is not necessary. The most recent PUD was
for the Bel Rae assisted living facility (2010).
Additionally, the properties are located within the County Road 10 Corridor Overlay
District, which includes all properties within 200’ of Mounds View Blvd. (Co Rd 10). The
Overlay District requires higher standards for building location, appearance, and
landscaping. These regulations will be applicable during the Development Review
process.
The procedure for considering Zoning Map amendments are described in City Code,
Section 1125.01, and include the consideration by the Planning Commission of
“Adverse Effects”. Staff’s analysis is as follows (Findings):
1. Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
Findings: The Mounds View Comprehensive Plan, Figure 6 (Future
Land Use Map) guides these properties for Mixed Use (MU-
PUD). MU-PUD is defined as “Land containing a building or
buildings with significant amounts of residential uses in
combination with commercial and/or office uses. Sites with
this designation should be developed as planned unit
developments to provide flexibility to ensure that integrated
efficient and well-planned development occurs. Examples
include projects that could provide for a mix of residential
and commercial uses within single or multiple structures.”
The proposed Zoning Map amendment is consistent with the
residential component of the Mixed Use designation.
2. The geographical area involved.
Findings: The proposed Zoning Map amendment is in harmony with
the adjacent southeasterly zoning district; R-4 High Density
Residential.
3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.

2 City Code, Section 1120.03 (Special Requirements and Standards)
Item 07A
April 24, 2017
Page 3
Findings: Any depreciation or increase in area property values is
speculative. It is expected that approval of this Zoning Map
amendment will be followed by a development of a multiple-
family dwelling, which will improve the properties from its
current vacant status, thereby improving the vibrancy of the
neighborhood.
4. The character of the surrounding area.
Findings: The character of the surrounding area along Mounds View
Blvd (County Road 10) includes a mixture of commercial,
single-family detached homes, and single-family attached
townhomes.
The character of the surrounding area along Groveland
Road includes single-family detached homes.
5. The demonstrated need for such use.
Findings: The two parcels are currently zoned B-3; and R-1. The B-3
parcel was formerly occupied by a gas station (1972 - 2001).
The R-1 parcel is landlocked and undevelopable as-is.
Once re-zoned, the applicant’s intent is to develop a
multiple-family dwelling on the subject properties and the
adjacent southeasterly two properties.
The need is demonstrated by the market demand for
multiple family housing, and the lack of demand for
allowable commercial uses on the B-3 zoned parcel.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission considered the zoning map amendment on April 5, 2017,
approving Resolution 1067-17, recommending approval of the amendment.
Summary:
MWF Properties is requesting to rezone two properties to R-4, High Density
Residential. The CUP will be considered at the May 8th City Council meeting.
The proposed apartment building will include 60-units of affordable workforce housing.
MWF Properties will be requesting financial assistance from the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency (competitive grant) and from the City EDA (Housing TIF District). If
financial assistance is obtained, MWF will then apply for a Major Subdivision to
combine the four lots into one lot, and will apply for a Development Review for the
project. The Development Review will include specific plans for the location and
appearance of the facility.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jon Sevald, Planner
Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction, Ord 933, Amending City
Code, Section 401.06, Subd 3, relating to Planning
Commission Agenda Sessions (Special Planning Case SP-
209-17)
Introduction:
The Planning Commission Bylaws are based on Chapter 401.06, Subd 3 of the City
Code. At the April 5, 2017, Planning Commission meeting, the Commission amended
its Bylaws, removing “Agenda Sessions”. Staff is requesting that the City Council
amend the correlating language in the City Code so that the two documents are
consistent.
Discussion:
There are four types of Planning Commission meetings; (1) Regular Meetings, (2)
Special Meetings, (3) Emergency Meetings, and (4) Agenda Sessions. The intent of
Agenda Sessions is to discuss non-actionable items. Historically, a regular meeting
would be adjourned, and an agenda session convened to review meeting minutes and
staff updates. The minutes would then be approved at the next regular meeting.
Agenda Sessions were last held in 2013. The Planning Commission’s current practice
is to discuss non-actionable items as part of its Regular Meeting.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends a first reading and introduction of Ordinance 933, amending City
Code, Section 401.06, Subd 3, deleting “Agenda Sessions”.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 932, an
Ordinance Amending Chapter 502 of the Mounds View City
Code Relating to Hours of Operation for Off-Sale Licensed
Establishments—ROLL CALL VOTE
Introduction:
The Governor has signed into law legislation allowing off-sale liquor sales on Sundays,
beginning effectively July 2, 2017. The Council has discussed changing the Code to allow
for Sunday sales and expanded sales Mondays through Thursdays. The Council asked
staff to invite the three off-sale licensees to provide input or attend the April work session.
Discussion:
Staff reached out to the three off-sale licensees and invited all three to attend the April 3,
2017, work session. Only Merwin Liquors, represented by Stuart Tapper, attended the
meeting. Greg Waste from Vino & Stogies indicated that they’d probably be unable to
attend but were not opposed to the proposed changes. Mr. Tapper indicated that the
proposed changes would be beneficial to MN liquor stores as many Minnesota residents
drive over the border into other states on Sundays. Concerning the expansion of hours to
10:00 pm Mondays through Thursdays, Mr. Tapper indicated this would be a benefit to
Mounds View stores as well as a convenience to Mounds View residents, who are forced to
drive to Fridley, Spring Lake Park or Blaine to purchase alcohol after 8 pm on those days.
It was noted that the expanded hours and ability to sell on Sundays were permissive, not
mandatory. A liquor store may open later or close earlier than what is allowed in Code.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the second reading and adoption of Ordinance
932, an ordinance amending Section 502.12 of the Mounds View City Code to allow off-
sale licensees to stay open until 10 pm Mondays through Thursdays and to be open from
11 am to 6 pm on Sundays. Sunday sales will be effective July 2, 2017, while the
extended weekday hours would become effective June 5, 2017.

City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Brian L. Erickson, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Michael L. Richie, Public Works Project Coordinator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8735, Accepting Quotes and Awarding Contract to NAC
Mechanical and Electrical for Roof Drain Repair at City Hall
Introduction:
The City Council is asked to approve the attached resolution accepting the quotes received and awarding
the roof drain repair at City Hall (City Project No. 2016-M03). Additionally, as part of this project, mold
remediation quotes were solicited and received.
Discussion:
On February 13, 2017, the City Council approved resolution 8711 to prepare bid packages, and solicit
quotes for repair work. Public works staff prepared bid packages utilizing the scopes of work prepared by
Albertson Engineering for the roof drain repairs and Environmental Assessment, Inc. for the mold
remediation.
The for the roof drain repairs eight (8) quotes from qualified mechanical contractors were solicited, and
five (5) quotes were solicited from qualified mold remediation contractors. Quotes were received from
three (3) mechanical contractors and four (4) mold remediation contractors. The following tables provides
the bidders names, and associated quotes:
Rank Mechanical Contractor Quote Amount
Low NAC Mechanical and Electrical $ 14,625.00
2 RAK Construction Inc. $ 22,884.00
3 Northland Mechanical Contractors, Inc. $ 28,794.00
Rank Mold Remediation Contractor Quote Amount
Low Trinity Environmental Specialists $ 1,971.00
2 Mavo Systems Inc. $ 2,055.00
3 EnviroBate, Inc. $ 2,720.00
4 Environmental Plant Services $ 3,668.00
The Engineer’s Estimate for completing the work is $12,900 for the roof drain repair and $2,500 for the
mold remediation. As shown in the tables above, the low bidder for the mold remediation is approximately
$500 below the Engineer’s Estimate, however the mechanical contractor is approximately $1,700 above
the Engineer’s Estimate. If awarded, NAC Mechanical and Electrical will begin scheduling the roof drain
and insulation replacement in conjunction with mold remediation services performed by Trinity
Environmental Specialists in order to limit disruption to work in the Engineering office, which will likely be
late April/early May. The contract documents require that the work be substantially complete by May
26, 2017, with final completion on or before June 16, 2017.
Because of the cost of the repairs and the fact that there is sufficient funding in the Special Project Fund,
the funding for this project will come from the Special Project Fund 480-4180-7050. This has been
discussed with the Finance Director and has his concurrence.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving construction contracts
with NAC Mechanical and Electrical for $14,625.00 in order to replace the roof drain piping and insulation,
and with Trinity Environmental Specialists for $1,971.00 for mold remediation. Staff further recommends
a 10% contingency of $1,660 for quantity over-runs or additional work resulting from unknown conditions
discovered during construction. The total budget for roof drain piping and mold remediation is not to
exceed $18,256.00. All contingency funding would require pre-approval by the Public Works Director.
Respectfully submitted,
Brian L. Erickson – Public Works Director/City Engineer

Michael L. Richie, Public Works Project Coordinator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8750, Approving Bidding Documents and Authorizing
Advertisement for Bids for Mill and Overlay of the City Hall and
Community Center Parking Lots
Background:
The City established a pavement maintenance plan that includes streets and municipal parking lots.
The parking lots at City Hall and the Community Center were fog sealed in October 2014. Due to the
current condition of the pavement in these parking lots (potholes, cracking, general deterioration, etc.)
it is recommended that both parking lots be milled and overlaid with a new bituminous wear course.
Parking lot restriping is also included in the bidding documents. In addition to this work, several
sidewalk panels at the Community Center and sections of concrete curb and gutter will also be
removed and replaced due to excessive cracking.
Discussion:
The Engineering Division of Public Works has prepared plans and specifications (bid documents) in-
house for use in obtaining public bids for parking lot mill and overlay. A public bid is required since the
estimated construction cost exceeds $100,000. The 2017 budget includes funding of $150,000 to
perform the proposed work in the Street Improvement Fund (485-4470-7050).
Recommendation:
Public Works staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution. If adopted, the
project will be advertised and bid in accordance with state statutes and a bid opening will be
scheduled for Tuesday, May 23, 2017 at 2:00p.m. After bid opening staff will return to Council for
awarding the project (tentatively scheduled for June 12, 2017) before any construction can begin.
Respectfully submitted,
