City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for an
Oversized Garage at 8290 Sunnyside Road;
Planning Case No. CU2007-004
Introduction:
The applicants, Tim Clemons and Collette O’Donovan, are requesting approval of a
conditional use permit for an oversized detached garage on their property at 8290 Sunnyside
Road. They would like to add a 22’x24’ addition to the east side of the existing garage. The
current garage size is 32 feet wide, 24 feet deep and 768 square feet. With the new addition
the garage would be 54 feet wide and 24 feet deep with a total square footage of 1,296.
The plot plan submitted indicates a garage area in excess of what is allowed without a
conditional use permit. Accessory buildings, attached or detached, are limited to 952 square
feet. Anything beyond 952 square feet must go through a conditional use permit application
process. Oversize garages are limited to being 35 feet wide, and anything beyond 35 feet in
width must go through the variance process. On Wednesday, July 25, 2007, the Planning
Commission unanimously approved a variance for the garage to be 54 feet wide.
Discussion
Requirements:
Section 1106.03, Subd. 1: This part of the Code limits the height of an accessory building,
the number of accessory buildings and the backyard coverage ratio of accessory buildings.
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, which are that the garage be permanent, be uniform in
appearance with the home, and not exceed 1,800 square feet of total accessory building area
on the lot.
Section 1125.01, Subd. 1: The City Council is required to review the possible adverse effects
of the requested conditional use.
Discussion:
Except for the width, the request for a Conditional Use Permit to construct the 1,296 square
foot garage satisfies the requirements as stated in Section 1106.03 and 1106.04, Subdivision
6 of the Mounds View Zoning Code. All setback requirements would be satisfied with this
request.
8290 Sunnyside CUP Request
August 13, 2007
Page 2
The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas
so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential
property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 8290 Sunnyside
Road, as low-density residential.
CUP Considerations:
Chapter 1125 of the Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission review and address
any potential adverse effects which include, but are not limited to, relationship with the
Comprehensive Plan, geographical area involved, potential depreciation, the character of the
surrounding area and the demonstrated need for such a use. Each of these potential
adverse effects is addressed below.
Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan. As previously stated, the Comprehensive Plan
encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the
quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in general.
The garage will be expanded in order for the applicant to be able to store their vehicles
indoors, which will be a benefit to the neighborhood.
The Geographical Area Involved. The home is located on the north end of Sunnyside Road,
setback further than the neighboring homes and on a wooded lot. During the summer months,
the house and garage are not visible from the street. During the winter, only the east end of
the garage may be slightly visible through the trees. In this case, the proposed oversized
garage would not be noticeable or out of place in the neighborhood. This garage should not
affect any neighboring properties.
Depreciation. The proposed garage would benefit the subject property both in a practical sense
by providing additional on site, indoor parking and storage, as well as in an economic sense, as
the construction would increase the “value” of the property. Increased property values are of
course a benefit to everyone.
The Character of the Surrounding Area. Sunnyside Road is entirely single family residential.
The homes in this area are a variety of styles and ages and most have large lots. The
proposed garage would not be out of character in this area since the garage is placed
sideways on the lot and the extra width would not be seen from the street. This property is
about 256 feet deep, so the new garage should not affect any neighbors. The expanded
garage would not change the current front look of the house.
The Demonstrated Need for Such a Use. The applicants have recreational vehicles along with
a few regular vehicles and would like to store them indoors and out of sight.
CUP Summary:
Since a variance for the width has been granted, all zoning and code issues are satisfied with
this request.

August 13, 2007

Public Notice
Public hearing notices were mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of 8290 Sunnyside
Road, and a notice was published in the Bulletin newspaper on August 1, 2007. Staff
received one letter of support from the neighbor to the north, which is included in this staff
report, and a phone call from the neighbor to the south indicating that she was supportive of
this garage expansion.
Recommendations:
After taking testimony from staff and the property owner, and holding the public hearing, the
City Council may take one of the following actions related to the request:
1. Approve the conditional use permit for a 1,296 square foot garage. Resolution 7128 is
attached if the Council chooses this action.
2. Recommend denial of the conditional use permit. If the Council selects this option, Staff
would need to be directed to draft a resolution of denial with findings of fact appropriate to
support the denial.
3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered
or if more discussion is needed, 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. The 60 day deadline is September 4, 2007.
Respectfully submitted,

VARIANCE FOR A 54 FOOT WIDE GARAGE AT 8290 SUNNYSIDE ROAD;
PLANNING CASE NOs. CU2007-004 & VR2007-001
WHEREAS, property owners Tim Clemons and Collette O’Donovan have applied for
a conditional use permit and a variance to construct a 54’ wide x 24’ deep, 1,296 square
foot garage; and,
WHEREAS, the subject property, located at 8290 Sunnyside Road, is zoned R-1,
Single Family residential, and is legally described as follows:
Section 6, Town 30, Range 23, except the west 240 feet. The east 528 feet of the
west 1056 feet of the north 90 feet of the south 1620 feet of the NE ¼ (Subject to
Rd) in Section 6, Town 30, Range 23, Ramsey County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows garages in excess
of 952 square feet in area with a maximum accessory building area not to exceed 1,800
square feet; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code restricts the width of oversized garages
to 35 feet or less; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed expanded garage would be 1,296 square feet, thus
necessitating application of a conditional use permit; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed garage would be 54 feet in width, 19 feet beyond that
which is allowed for an oversized garage, necessitating application of a variance; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents
regarding this proposal:
a. Planning Application

Resolution 870-07
CUP & VR 8290 Sunnyside Rd.
Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact related to the conditional use permit
request:
1. Other than the width, the proposed oversized 1,296 square foot garage satisfies
the dimensional requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 of the Mounds
View Zoning Code.
2. The request is consistent with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in general. 3. The proposed garage would not be out of place given the character and geography of the surrounding area involved and the size of the subject property which is able to accommodate such a structure.
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 Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact related to the variance request:
1. The property is located on Sunnyside Road with the house and garage being
setback further than the neighboring homes. The structures cannot be seen from
the street due to the heavy tree cover on the lot. The proposed garage would allow
the homeowners more indoor storage for their vehicles.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant
of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in that most property owners could
expand the garage to the rear, but due to the garage being built sideways on the lot
and being located close to the side property line, the applicants have limited options.
3 The special circumstances or conditions do not result from the applicants in that
Mr. Clemons and Ms. O’Donovan had no control over how the garage was placed
on the lot before they purchased the property.
4. Granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant any special
privilege in that most garages are not set sideways on the property.
5. The requested 19 foot variance is the minimum amount necessary to alleviate
the applicant’s hardship. Economic conditions do not enter into the need for a
variance in this case.
Resolution 870-07
CUP & VR 8290 Sunnyside Rd.
Page 3
6. The variance requested would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of the
Code or to other properties in the vicinity. The spirit and intent of the Code is
preserved.
7. Granting the variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent properties, would not increase the congestion of the public streets, would
not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety and would not diminish
or impair property values within the neighborhood.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission approves the requested variance for a 54 foot wide garage and recommends
approval of the conditional use permit for the 1,296 square foot garage, with conditions as
follows:
1. The garage shall not be used for commercial purposes, living space or other 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 garage expansion shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform
appearance with the existing garage and house.
3. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Variance (VR) shall become null and void if
the work for which the CUP and VR were 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 Planning Commission.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs
staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 25th day of July, 2007.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jim Ericson, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Major Subdivision of 8184 Eastwood
Road; Planning Case MA2007-002
Introduction:
Abiding Savior Lutheran Church (the “Church”) is the owner of 8184 Eastwood Road, a
50,965 square foot residential parcel improved with a one-story home and attached single-
stall garage. The parcel is adjacent to the Church’s 6.31 acre tract of land addressed at 8211
Red Oak Drive. The Church has submitted a major subdivision application to split the home
and 16,025 square feet of the Eastwood Road parcel, attaching the remaining 34,940 square
feet to the larger Church property located at 8211 Red Oak Drive. As a result of the proposed
subdivision, the total acreage of the Red Oak Drive parcel would increase from 6.31 acres to
7.12 acres.
The Church has previously expressed a desire to develop a senior residential facility on the
property, however the requested subdivision does nothing to further this goal. (A subsequent
major subdivision would be required, among other planning actions, to proceed with such a
development.) The Church intends to sell the home on Eastwood Road upon approval of the
requested subdivision. The Church has submitted a preliminary plat and final plat which
illustrates the proposed subdivision of 8184 Eastwood Road and has submitted the necessary
title commitment which has been forwarded to the City Attorney for review.
Previously:
In December of last year, the Church requested approval of a minor subdivision of the
property located at 8184 Eastwood Road. The City Council ultimately denied the request
finding that the proposal could not be considered a minor subdivision due to the acreage
involved. The Council’s resolution of denial was approved on February 12, 2007.
Discussion:
A major subdivision is a division of land involving more than two acres of land area or one that
creates more than two lots. In this case, the affected area totals approximately 7.49 acres
and involves two parcels—8211 Red Oak Drive and 8184 Eastwood Road. Major
subdivisions are accomplished by a plat, usually a two-step process by which a preliminary
plat is considered followed afterward by a final plat. Major subdivisions require a public
hearing. Both parcels are zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The Comprehensive Plan
designates the Eastwood Road parcel as Single-Family Detached while the Red Oak Drive
parcel is designated Institutional, in recognition of the existing Church facility. The land
added to the Red Oak Drive parcel would not be able to be built upon by the Church except
through approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Abiding Savior Report
Aug 13, 2007
Page 2
Subdivision Requirements
The minimum lot area required for a single family home is 11,000 square feet and the
minimum lot width is 75 feet. The Eastwood Road parcel, identified as Lot 2 on the submitted
plat, would have a remaining area of 16,025 square feet and front width of 90.54 feet, both of
which would exceed the City’s minimum requirements. The minimum area required for a non-
residential use (such as a church) in a residential district is one acre.
Park Dedication Requirements.
All subdivisions of land are subject to park dedication fee requirements. For subdivisions
which have no impact upon the park system (such as a lot line adjustment) the City Council
may waive dedication fees. In this case, the extent of the potential impact is not readily
known, a fact the Council could take into consideration as it determines the appropriate
dedication fee for this subdivision. The following table illustrates potential dedications
amounts.
Description 5% 10%
Option 1 Dedication applied to all acreage (7.48 acres) at a
rate of $2.48 per square foot (2007 county value)
$40,403 $80,806
Option 2 Dedication applied to just Eastwood Road lot
(1.17 acres)
$ 5,970 $11,940
Option 3 Dedication applied to only subdivided portion of
Eastwood lot (0.80 acres)
$ 4,328 $ 8,655
Option 4 Dedication applied only to remainder of Eastwood
Road lot (0.37 acres)
$ 1,987 $ 3,974
For sake of reference, the dedication fee imposed for minor subdivisions is usually five
percent of the county assessed land value of the lot created. For major subdivisions such as
the one requested by Abiding Savior and for projects which significantly intensify the existing
development density, up to a ten percent dedication fee may be imposed by the Council.
Easements & Utilities
With every subdivision of land, the City requires that drainage and utility easements be
dedicated around the perimeter of the lots. The submitted preliminary plat does includes all
required easement areas—ten feet fronting Red Oak Drive, Ardan Avenue and Eastwood
Road, and five feet for all internal lot lines. The Eastwood Road parcel shows a ten-foot rear
easement as is required. No changes are proposed to the utilities within this platted area.
At a previous meeting, a question was raised about an overhead powerline that transects the
back yard of 8184 Eastwood Road. The requested subdivision will not impact or otherwise
compromise the integrity of this powerline. While it may be true that the overhead power lines
would no longer be centered along a common lot line (and thus within a city easement area)
there is no compelling reason to either relocate the power lines or grant an easement for the
overhead transmission lines. Staff has contacted Xcel regarding the overhead lines and they
are comfortable leaving the lines where they are.
Abiding Savior Report
Aug 13, 2007
Page 3
Public Notice
Staff sent notices to all property owners with 350 feet of both parcels and a few have
contacted staff in person or by phone to ask about the request. It has been explained to
everyone that the present request satisfies all City requirements and does not represent an
incremental step toward subsequent development of the land.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this request on July 25, 2007 and took
action that same meeting by approving Resolution 871-07, a resolution which recommended
approval of the requested preliminary plat for the Abiding Savior major subdivision.
Deadline for Action
This application was accepted on June 27, 2007 and in accordance with MN Statute 15.99, a
decision will need to be made within 120 days of application acceptance. The deadline for
action for this request is October 25, 2007. (Planning applications have a 60-day window for
approval while Minnesota Statutes allow 120 days for subdivision requests.)
Summary.
The proposed major subdivision of the 8184 Eastwood Road and 8211 Red Oak Drive is
requested to create additional land which would be combined with the Abiding Savior property
at 8211 Red Oak Drive (Lot 1). The remaining single family lot on Eastwood Road (Lot 2)
would be consistent with all setbacks and subdivision code requirements.
Recommendation:
Discuss the major subdivision request submitted by Abiding Savior Lutheran Church to plat
and subdivide the parcels located at 8184 Eastwood Road and 8211 Red Oak Drive. The
following options may be considered:
Option 1. Approve the requested preliminary plat subject to satisfactory review of title
documentation by the City Attorney’s office. Based on staff review and the Planning
Commission’s recommendation, staff supports this option. As such, a resolution of
approval with stipulations as noted has been prepared for the Council’s action if it concurs
with the Planning Commission’s recommendation.
Option 2. Direct staff to prepare a resolution denying the major subdivision request based
on reasons articulated at the hearing. However, staff is not aware of any conditions to
justify denial and thus would recommend against taking such action.
Option 3. Table action on the request pending receipt of additional information deemed
necessary before a decision can be rendered. If a tabling motion is supported, staff or the
applicant will need clear direction as to the additional information required of the City
Council.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Desaree Crane, Assistant to the City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7138, Appointing a Candidate to the Position of
Cable TV Coordinator
Background:
In order to fulfill the City’s goal of improved public communication, the need for a Cable TV
Coordinator has been discussed at many City Council Meetings and supported by the City’s
Cable Committee. At the May 14, 2007, City Council Meeting, the City Council authorized Staff
to start the process of hiring a Cable Television Coordinator for the Administration Department
in accordance with Resolution 7051. This position would be a full time non- exempt position,
and will be a union position under the AFSCME Union Contract.
Discussion:
We received thirty-four applications for this position, and of those, six were interviewed. The
City had an interview panel which consisted of myself, Kurt Ulrich (Mounds View City
Administrator), Jerry Skelly (Mounds View Cable Committee Chairperson) and Barbara Haake
(Mounds View Cable Committee Member). . All candidates that were interviewed were required
to submit a video tape. The panel agreed on two top candidates. The Mounds View Cable
Committee will meet on Monday, August 13th at 5pm (just prior to this Council Meeting) to
discuss the candidates and make their recommendation to the City Council. Staff will have a
Resolution prepared to the City Council announcing the top candidate right after the Cable
Committee Meeting. Personal and employment references were all found to be positive and all
background checks have come back satisfactory on both candidates.
The hourly wage scale for this position as approved by the City Council and negotiated by the
City and the AFSCME union is as follows:
Step One: $19.13/hr
Step Two: $20.32/hr
Step Three: $21.52/hr
Step Four: $22.71/hr
Step Five: $23.91/hr
Following our standard personnel policy practice, the candidate would begin employment at
Step 1, with an increase to Step 2 after six months of employment. Step 3 would occur after 12
months of employment with Steps 4 and 5 due 12 months thereafter, respectively.
Discussion Update
Staff met with the Mounds View Cable Committee today at 5pm. It was the Cable Committee’s
recommendation to hire Vanessa Van Alstine to the position of Mounds View Cable TV
Coordinator. Ms. Van Alstine currently cable casts meetings for the City of Little Canada and
Roseville since August of 2006. Her education includes an Associate Degree in Visual
Communications, Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a Master Degree in Electrical
Engineering. Personal and employment references were all found to be positive. Ms.
Van Alstine’s driver’s license check and criminal background check came back
satisfactory.
Recommendation:
Staff concurs with the recommendation of the Cable Committee. Staff is requesting Council
authorization of the hire of Vanessa Van Alstine to the position of Cable TV Coordinator
in the Administration Department in accordance with Resolution 7138.
Respectfully submitted,

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 794, an
Ordinance Amending Chapter 1009 of the Municipal
Code Relating to Swimming Pool Fences
Introduction:
At the City Council’s worksession on July 2, 2007, the issue of swimming pool fences was
reviewed in response to a petition that had been submitted by residents requesting the City
amend the Code to be consistent with the Minnesota State Building Code regarding the
height of a swimming pool fence.
Discussion:
The direction of the Council at the meeting was to prepare an amendment to the Code to
change the minimum required height of a fence surrounding a swimming pool from five feet
to four feet, the same height as specified in the Minnesota State Building Code. The Council
also suggested Chapter 1009 reference additional detailed specifications and requirements
similar to the Blaine code. Staff reviewed other cities’ swimming pool ordinances and
utilized much of the same information expressed in the Blaine code.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading and introduction of Ordinance 794, an
ordinance amending Chapter 1009 relating to Swimming Pools and associated fencing
requirements. Second reading and adoption of the ordinance is scheduled for August 27,
2007.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 795, an
Ordinance Amending Chapter 1001 of the Mounds View
City Code Relating to the Building Code
Introduction:
Mounds View Building Official Kathi Osmonson has prepared an ordinance to amend
Chapter 1001 of the Mounds View City Code, updating the “Building Code” section.
Discussion:
The proposed changes to Chapter 1001 are simple updates to reflect a state-level
organizational transition from the Building Codes and Standards Division to the Department
of Labor and Industry, Construction Standards and Licensing Division.
The recommended changes in Section 1001.01 relating to Chapter 1306 reflect the current
language of 1306, in that there is no longer an “Option E” outlining sprinkler requirements for
R-1 and R-2 dwellings. The pertinent language in Option E was transitioned into the body of
the code.
Recommendation:
Approve the first reading and introduction of Ordinance 795, an Ordinance amending
Chapter 1001 of the Mounds View City Code relating to the Building Code. The second
reading and adoption of this housekeeping ordinance has been scheduled for August 27.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Michael Schnur, Lead Utility Operator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7141 Approving a Contract with DNR
Construction Services Incorporated for Door
Replacement at Treatment Plant No. 1
Background:
In 2005, Staff in coordination with SEH, conducted an analysis of Water Division
building infrastructure. Some of the items that were identified that need to be
addressed are:
1. Water Treatment Plant No. 1 was constructed in 1991. The
doors that were installed are currently in very poor condition,
and are in need of replacement. The doors are constructed
out of steel for security reasons. This steel is reacting
negatively with the chemicals needed to successfully treat the
water going through the plant. As a result, they are rusting,
and are very hard to secure.
2. Well House No. 2 was constructed in 1962 and the windows
are in need of replacement. The windows are past their
expected life, and are very inefficient in the winter. There are
vents over the windows to cool the pump house down in the
summer while the well is running but these vents need to be
boarded up in the winter.
3. Well No. 2 the overhang on the door is currently leaking, and in
the wintertime, it allows for water to get in behind the
overhang. This moisture can cause structural damage to the
pump house during the winter due to the freezing and thawing
of the water. It is already breaking some of the bricks on the
front of the building.
On August 14, 2006 Council approved Resolution 6897, which authorized a
contract with SEH for architectural services for the 2006 Building Upgrades;
services included rehabilitation of aspects associated with Treatment Plant No. 1
and Well No. 2.
SEH completed the plans and specifications for this project. It was then
advertised in the Construction Bulletin as well as the City’s official newspaper to
receive competitive quotes. The City received just one quote for this project,
which was nearly twice as much as the estimate provided by SEH. Due to the
difficulty in receiving competitive quotes, Staff redefined the project to focus on
the doors at Treatment Plant No. 1- which need to be addressed as soon as
possible due to security reasons. The window and awning replacement for Well
No. 2 will be included with a future project. As a result of redefining this project,
the original budgeted amount of $25,000 in 2006 was reduced to $13,000 in
2007.
Discussion:
Water Treatment Plant No. 1 was constructed in 1991. The doors (and the
associated hardware) of this plant are currently in very poor condition. To ensure
public safety, it is imperative that this building is secured. The existing doors, in
their current condition, compromises this security. It is therefore necessary that
they be replaced.
The existing doors are currently constructed out of steel. Steel was selected in
the original construction due to the secured nature of the building. However, the
steel is reacting negatively with the chemicals needed to successfully treat the
water going through the plant. As a result, they have rusted to the point where
they are hard to secure. There are two double doorways that are proposed for re
replacement: one for the chlorine room and the other for the sulfur dioxide room.
Due to the corrosive nature of the respective chemicals, it is recommended that a
stainless steel door be installed in the chlorine room and a galvanized door be
installed in the sulfur dioxide room
Staff has solicited quotes to perform this project; Staff has advertised for quotes
as well as directly contacting a number of construction companies.
Staff received quotes from DNR Construction Services, Inc. and John Nagengast
Doors, LLC. MP Johnson Construction, Inc. was contacted, however has failed
to submit a quote. The results of the quotes are as follows.
DNR Construction Services Inc. $17,846.00 + tax Total $19,005.99
John Nagengast Doors, LLC $19,248.00 tax inclusive Total $19,248.00
MP Johnson No quote submitted
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt resolution 7141 accepting the
proposal from DNR Construction Services, Incorporated for door removal and
replacement at Water Treatment Plant No. 1 in the amount of $17,846.00 plus
tax.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7142 Implementing Tier II Water
Sprinkling and Irrigation Regulations
Background:
At the June 4, 2007 City Council Work Session, Staff presented a proposal to
adopt revised Water Sprinkling and Irrigation Regulations. The proposal was
again discussed at the July 2, 2007 City Council Work Session.
On July 23, 2007 the City Council approved Resolution 7121 adopting Water
Sprinkling and Irrigation Regulations. See attachment.
On August 6, 2007 Staff provided the City Council with a general update
regarding the status of the City’s water supply system. This included information
pertaining to the City’s wells and the aquifers from which the City draws water.
The update also included water pumping data, news articles regarding issues
other cities are facing pertaining to water usage, and restrictions set forth in the
peak energy control program.
Discussion:
As per the Water Sprinkling and Irrigation Regulations adopted on July 23, 2007,
via resolution 7121 “Restriction will always be Tier #1 unless ordered by the
Director of Public Works/City Engineer after notification of the Clerk-Administrator
and the Mayor. “
Tier I Restrictions: May 1st thru September 30th Odd/Even restrictions
Example: All properties with odd number addresses (7501) may
water on odd numbered calendar days (June 11), and all properties
with even numbered addresses (2612) may water on even
numbered calendar days (June 10).
At the August 6, 2007, City Council Work Session the City Council expressed a
desire to implement Tier II restrictions. Attached is Resolution 7142 which directs
the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to implement Tier II restrictions.
Tier # 2 Restrictions: May 1st thru September 30th Odd/Even restrictions Plus, no
lawn watering between the hours of 11 A.M. and 6 P.M. Established by
order of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer after notification of the
Clerk-Administrator and the Mayor
It is proposed that Tier II restrictions be implemented until September 30, 2007, at
which time all watering restrictions will be suspended until May of the next year – as
per the current regulations.
If Tier II restrictions are implemented, as prescribed in the current regulations,
notice will be published in the City’s official newspaper, on the City’s electronic
message board, on the City website site, and posted on City property.
Watering ban signs have been ordered and will be available to be installed on
Tuesday morning, August 14th. They will be installed at both ends of County 10,
both ends of County Rd. I, both ends of Long Lake Rd., Old 8, Silver Lake Rd. on
the South, County Rd H and H2 on the West, and County Rd J on the NW. The
signs will be 18” x 24” with red and black lettering on a white high intensity street
sign.
Public Works has initiated an enforcement campaign to ensure compliance with
will the Water Conservation Code – 906.12. Notice of Violation forms have been
sent to the printers and should be ready for use this week. Please note that if Tier
II restrictions are implemented that violations observed which are associated with
the added restrictions of watering between 11AM and 6PM may just receive a
verbal warning/ notification – as opposed to a written Notice of Violation. Since
this is a new restriction, Staff believes that it may take some time to educate the
community on this restriction and the important of water conservation. Violations
associated with the Odd/Even restrictions will continue to receive a written Notice
of Violation.
Implementing Tier II restrictions does not change the designated exceptions. The
following exceptions currently apply to Tier I and Tier II:
• Private Wells.
• The City of Mounds View watering multi public uses facilities / parks or
athletic fields which require more frequent watering to prevent
unreasonable damage.
•The hand watering of plants, flowers, gardens, or trees using a hose.
•Exemptions will be made for new sod and seed for 30 days with a permit
issued from the Public Works Department.
•Other exemptions will be washing of vehicles, filling swimming pools, and
children playing in a hose operated sprinkler or water toy.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council restrict watering during the mid-day
hours when it is least effective due to evaporation and when there is the greatest
probability of Xcel Energy invoking restrictions set forth in the peak control
program by implementing Tier II watering and irrigation restrictions.

Greg Lee, Director of Public Works

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7130 Renumbering Four Incorrectly
Numbered Resolutions
Introduction:
In June of this year, four resolutions were presented to the Council for consideration which
were incorrectly numbered due to a glitch in the tracking spreadsheet. The City Attorney
advises that the City Council should adopt a resolution to renumber the affected resolutions
rather than have the four resolutions from 2007 inexplicably appear in an index with other
resolutions from 2012 or 2013.
Discussion:
The four resolutions which will need to be changed are listed in the table below, noted first by
the incorrect number and followed by the revised number:
The index will include a reference to these four resolutions indicating the resolution numbers
as originally adopted for sake of tracking and minutes. The resolutions themselves will also
be footnoted to indicate the resolution number originally approved as.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution 7130 revising the adopted resolution numbers for resolutions originally
approved as Resolutions 8002, 8003, 8004 and 8005, renaming them to be Resolutions
7131, 7132, 7133, 7134, respectively.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Desaree M. Crane, Assistant to the City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Potential Liquor License Suspension/Revocations
The Mermaid
It has come to Staff’s attention that The Mermaid is late on the first half of their property
taxes for 2007. In accordance with the liquor license provisions of the City Code, it states:
Subd. 2. Places Ineligible for License:
b. No license shall be granted for operation on any premises on which taxes,
assessments, utility bills or other financial claims of the Municipality are delinquent
or unpaid.
Each liquor license renewal year, Staff sends a letter to the Minnesota Department of
Revenue to request for tax information on all off sale and on sale intoxicating liquor
licenses in the City. Staff did not receive any information on delinquency of taxes on this
property. Attached is the letter sent by Staff to the Minnesota Department of Revenue
dated June 2, 2007. The first half of the property taxes were due on May 15th and the
second is due on October 15th of this year. Although the property taxes are not
considered delinquent on this property, they are considered unpaid for the first half of
2007.
Property tax information is available online on the Ramsey County website. I became
aware of this online tax information when Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment closed
its doors on July 16, 2007. Staff discussed this information Kennedy & Graven this
afternoon. The City could (1) send a letter to The Mermaid stating that if their property
taxes are not paid for the first half of 2007 in 30 days, then the City will start
suspension/revocation proceedings of their liquor license; or (2) start the
suspension/revocation process immediately by sending an eight day notice to the owner in
accordance with the City Code; or (3) do nothing and see if they pay their property taxes
in full by October 15th. If the City Council wishes to start the suspension/revocation
process, then Staff would send a the 8 day suspension/revocation notice to The Mermaid
and schedule a Public Hearing for August 27th.
Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment
Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment closed their doors for business on July 26, 2007.
It came to the attention to Staff that Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment owes Ramsey
County on Property Taxes from 2004 to present. Staff spoke to Ramsey County Property
Tax Division and they currently need to pay $148,810.50 by December 31, 2007 or it will
go to Sheriff’s Sale. Currently they owe $132,230.50. An additional $16,580 will be due
on October 15, 2007. Each liquor license renewal year, Staff sends a letter to the
Minnesota Department of Revenue to request for tax information on all off sale and on
sale intoxicating liquor licenses in the City. Staff did not receive any information on
delinquency of taxes on this property. Attached is the letter sent by Staff to the Minnesota
Department of Revenue dated June 2, 2007. Taxes on this property are considered
delinquent.
As indicated with the Mermaid property, Staff spoke with Kennedy and Graven this
afternoon. According to Kennedy Graven, the City could (1) send a letter to The Mermaid
stating that if their property taxes are not paid in 30 days, then the City will start
suspension/revocation proceedings of their liquor license; or (2) start the
suspension/revocation process immediately by sending an eight day notice to the owner in
accordance with the City Code; or (3) do nothing and see if the property gets sold.
Attached is tax information for Robert’s Sports Bar and Entertainment and The Mermaid.
Staff would like guidance by the City Council on how to proceed with these two properties.
Scott Riggs is currently scheduled to attend the next City Council Meeting scheduled for
August 27th.
