Regular Meeting Page 4
north side to the south side along Woodale Drive. Public Works Director Peterson clarified staff 1
was proposing to eliminate parking from Woodale Drive altogether. 2
3
Tiffany Alexander-Susens, 5209 O’Connell Drive, explained she had some concerns with the 4
proposed project. She questioned why the bike lane was being removed from Woodale Drive. 5
She asked if a crosswalk would be installed across Woodale Drive to the new sidewalk. She 6
encouraged the City to consider adding a crosswalk. She stated she had concerns with safety for 7
the pedestrians that walk along Woodale Drive. She recommended these roadway improvements 8
be made after the apartment complex was completed. 9

Director Peterson reported this was the case. He explained this roadway would be narrowed 12
from 36 feet to 28 feet. 13

with the proposed sidewalk. 17
18
Council Member Gunn commented children going to and from school could use the sidewalk for 19

does not allow cyclists to use a sidewalk after a certain age. 21

purposes given the number of students going to and from the school. Mr. McLeete discussed the 24
regulations for installing crosswalks. 25
26
Mayor Mueller stated she was concerned for the children using bicycles along Woodale Drive 27
given the speed of traffic along this roadway. She feared that narrowing the street would not 28
guarantee the slowing of traffic. She asked if the proposed sidewalk could be made wider to 29
allow for both pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Public Works Director Peterson reported this would 30
require the sidewalk to be made wider, which would not be allowed given the fact existing 31
utilities would be impacted. 32
33

Approving the Feasibility Study for the 2019 Street Project and Authorizing Plans and 35

Item Title/Subject: Resolution NO. 9088 Authorizing Brian Beeman to Attend the
Strengths Discovery Course through the Gallop Organization
The City is transitioning through the strategic plan to address staff hiring and retention and to
promote leadership opportunities. The Strengths Finder program is a series of individual and
organizational assessments taught by the Gallop organization based on statistical research geared
towards identifying, assessing, and learning how to apply the Clifton Strengths Finder process not
only to individuals but also for organizations. Having an organizational Strengths Finder coach to
work through improving the individual and overall organizational health process is important for the
health of Becoming a certified coach. The certification course is a week long course. However, the
first step is to attend the one day Strengths Discovery workshop. In 2020 consideration will be made
in attending the week long certification coarse. Omaha, Nebraska is the closest training location
and the course is only offered twice per year at this location. The Strength Discovery course is
off ered in Omaha, Nebraska June 3, 2019. The training course, hotel, and travel costs will be
approximately $900. Staff recommends that the Council authorize Brian Beeman to attend the
training session.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Create a culture where employees desire to work and remain
employed with Mounds View.
Financial Impact: None. Money has been budgeted in the Administration Department for these
types training opportunities throughout 2019.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Ordinance 955 Chapter 900 Code Update, Second Reading
Introduction:
This is a continuation of the City Code update with Chapters 100 thru 700 updated last year
and Chapter 800 passed earlier this month. The proposed Ordinance was posted on our web
page on Thursday February 14, 2019. First reading is occurred on February 25, 2019.
Summary publication will occur on March 22nd and the Ordinance taking effect 30 days after.
Discussion:
Chapter 900 of the code deals with Public Right of Way and Property. All changes are either
technical, statutory updates, or best practices based on historical activities. An example is we
have replaced the words Building Inspector with Public Works Director/City Engineer or its
designee where appropriate as that individual is more responsible for the duties. Another
more substantive technical/best practices change is section 906.6 – Leak in Service Line
which clarifies property owner’s responsibility with respect to their water service line.
Similarly, we have eliminated the entire subdivision on Golf as we no longer have a course.
Strategic Plan/Goal: Maintain Good Infrastructure
The City Code is the base document specific to how the city conducts their business. Chapter
900 addresses the critical area of public right of ways and property where the vast majority of
our underground utilities/infrastructure is located. To date the Cities investment in this
infrastructure exceeds $12.5 million. Ordinance 955 ensures our continued ability to maintain
that investment.
Financial Impact:
Legal review and publication costs fall within 2019 adopted budget.
Recommendation:
Conduct Second Reading of Ordinance 954 to update Chapter 900 of the City Code and
approve summary publication.
Respectfully submitted,

Administrator Review: ____
City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9087, Approval of an Amendment to a
Development Review for Central Sandblasting, located at
2299 County Road H (Planning Case DE2019-001)
Introduction
Central Sandblasting does sandblasting and painting of large metal structures (e.g. I-beams for
buildings). The property includes two buildings. A Development Review was approved in
August 2018, to remove the east building, and add onto the west building. The applicant is
requesting to amend the 2018 Development Review to allow a portion of the to-be-removed
building to remain (80’ X 80’). The area was planned for outside storage, but would now be
used as inside storage.
Discussion
A Development Review is required for building construction or expansion, exceeding 10% or
10,000 sq ft. The approved Development Review was for a 16,000 sq ft addition. A
Development Plan …“shows proposed plans for utility service, surface water drainage
consistent with the most recently adopted Local Surface Water Management Plan subject to
subsequent revisions, erosion and sediment control consistent with current City standards,
streets, driveways, trails, parking, landscaping, screening and buffering, lighting, setbacks,
exterior construction design and materials, trash disposal, construction timetable”...1
If the amendment is approved, it would not have a significant effect on the 2018 Development
Review, other than showing that portion of the building to remain. The existing east building is
80’ X 220’. Of that, an 80’ X 80’ section would be kept, and the rest demolished, and the area
used for outside storage of materials.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal:
The Development Review relates to the Vision, “Create and maintain a positive business
climate where businesses want to locate and remain in Mounds View”.
Financial Impact:
There is no impact to the City.

Page 2
Summary
Central Sandblasting proposes to amend its 2018 Development Review. The Development
Review included the removal of an 80’ X 220’ building. The amended plan will allow an 80’ X
80’ portion to remain, to be used for inside storage.
There is no Public Hearing required for Development Reviews.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed the request on March 6, 2019, recommending approval of
the Amended Development Review (Resolution 1094-19).
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Amendment.
Recommendation
The City Council is requested to consider the following options;
1. Resolution 9087, approving the Amendment
2. The City Council may deny the Amended Development Review. If the Council chooses 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 the 60-day requirements (Deadline: April 19,
2019) the Council would need to act upon the request as soon as reasonably possible to
avoid an inadvertent approval.
Respectfully submitted,
