MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development
DATE: September 9, 1986
® SUBJECT: PLANNING CASE 164-84, KUNZ OIL COMPANY
Attached please find tha following:
L 41ac- -.n
1. My memo dated 4/11/85 a1L ........ ts.
2. Notice of Informational Meeting held by the Planning
Commission on 2/6/85.
3. Attendance list from Informational. Meeting held on 2/6/85.
4. Memo from Clerk -Administrator. dated 5/2/85 regarding Kunz
Oil Company and the moratorium.
The Planning Commission has reviewed this development and
recommends approval. Upon reviewing the Kunz Oil Company's
proposal, there are two items that should be noted. The first
item is that the site plan indicates a 6' high fence in front of
the front building line. The Planning Commission discussed this
issue and determined that K-Gas could extend the fence per the
site plan to provide the added buffering for the adjacent
residential property. The second item is that the Planning
Commission has added the following item to conditional use
permits for other gas station proposals since the Planning
Commission passed Resolution No. 127-85 on April 3, 1985:
Outside merchandising shall be confined to the concrete
C entrance slab. Outside slacking shall not exceed tour feet
in height.
A public hearing is required for the conditional use permit. In
the past, we have sent a courtesy mailing to property owners
adjacent to the proposed construction site. The earliest a
public hearing could be held is Monday, October 13, 1986 at 7:10
p.r:.
The memo from Clerk -Administrator Pauley dated May 2, 1`.!85,
clearly indicates that we are concerned that any effort on the
part of the City to allow construction on the K-Gas lot prior to
addressing a larger problem with the Comprehensive Plan would
jeopardize the enforce ability of the entire Comprehensive Plan.
ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests direction on this matter.

our station at 109th and Central in Blnine, which the council and
planning board enthusiastically accepted.
The attached site plan shows that we plan to remove the existing
building and build a new 24' x 54' convenience store, 1296 square
feet. 312 square feet storage 6 restrooms,984 square feet retail
space.
The existing 3 islands will be replaced by 2 - 4 x,;06 foot islands

Kunz Oil Company Conditional Use Permit
134.01 - 85.01
Kunz Oil Company is requesting a conditional use permit to redevelop their
gas station/convenience food store at 2901 Ilighway 10 in Mounds View. Their
redevelopment proposal involves the razing of the existing gas station and
the construction of an entirely new building and canopy.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Currently, the site is zoned "0-3", liighway Business District. Under this
zoning designation, the existing gds station exists as a permitted conditional
use. While the Zoning Ordinance identifies the use as a conditional use for
this area, the Comprehensive Plan recimmiends that in this area of the City
commercial development be inhibited through the introduction of medium density
residential development on the renlaininU open land adjacent to Highway 10.
The proposed Land Use Hap for Planning District 6 supports the phasing out
of commercial uses in this area of N,aunds View, showing a medium density
residential land use designation for the Kunz Oil Company site.
The Minnesota Municipal Land Plauninll Act requires all city zoning to be
consistent with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. lilt: existance of the
B-3 Zoning District over the site in question conflicts with the intent of
the Comprehensive Plan in that it prohibits residential development and allows
for the introduction of commercial uses that are intended to be phased out.

With the application by Kunz Oil Company, the City must make a determination
as to the appropriate land use for this area of the City. If the City feels
that the Comprehensive Plan accurately rrflects the City's ultimate develop -
tent ,goals for this area, the site should be rezoned to a medium density resi-
dential zoning designation. If upon city review, the City finds the Kunz Oil
request to be acceptable, the Co.-uprelrensive Plan should he amended to show
this change of land use. -
Past City actions on similar development and zoning requests in this area of
the City (i.e., Ilighway 10 Radiator and Iloliday Gas Station) indicate that
the City has not waivered from the planning recommendations of the Compre-
hensive Plan.
The City has two options if it chooses to stand by the Comprehensive Plan

the first ooilon relates directly to the applicant's development request.
The Mounds View on y rdinance uutliocs the following criteria for cmi-
sidering a conditional use permit:
Section 40.25.A. (5)
(5) The Planning Commission shall consider possible adverse• effects
of the proposed amendment ur conditional use. Its judgement shall
' be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors:
a. Relationship to municipal comprehensive plan.
b. The geographical area involved.
c. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area
in which it is proposed.
d. The character of tl,e surrounding area.
e. The demonstrated need fur such use.
Section 40.25.0. (2)
(2) Criteria for Granting Conditional Use Permits.. It) granting a
conditional use permit, the City Council shall consider ttre advice
and recommendations of ttre I'lanninq Coimrissioit and the effect of
the proposed use on the Cunpruhensive Plan and upon the health,
safety and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands.
Among other things, Lire City Council shall owke 'he following
findings where applicable:
a, The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks,
schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities
which serve or are proposed to serve the area.

b. The use will be sufficiently compatible or srp,urated by
distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or
used land so that existing homes will riot be depreciated is
value and there will be no deferrance to development of
vacant land.
c. The structure and sit, nlmll have an appearance that will
not have, an adverse effect upon adjacent residential
properties.
d. The use, in the opinion of' the City Council, is reasonably
related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing
land use.
e. The use is consistent with the purposes of the zoning Code
and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant
intends to locate the proposed use.
f. The use is rot in conflict with the Compreheusive Plan of
g. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
h. Adequate itiliLies, access reads, drainage and necessary
facilities have been or will be provided.
These criteria�lldiraYe�hat cons'stency with the Comprehensive Plan is a
conditio' n or
a r val. As such, the City ias an argucanen or ema .
The incompatibility o the coumercial use in a residential area adds to the
agreement for denial, Iwwever, this issue highlights the inappropriateness
of the B-3 zoning. This option is weakened by the fact that the proposed
use is the re-establishment of an existing use that is consistent with the
established zoning. The proposed use also complies with the majority of the
other criteria for granting a conditional use pernrit.
The City used this option in the deuiol of a conditional use permit for the
Holiday Gas Station on the corner of Silver Lake Road and highway 10.
seconAjp_tJon available to the City is to rezone the site in conformance
with -ElieComprehensive This alterndtive is viewed nv,re favorably as
it implements the objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan in accordance
with the Minnesota State Statutes. The Comprehensive Plan, adjacent land uses,
and past City action on zoning requests provide justification for a rezoning.
Based on these items, the city's position for rezoning is stronger than if
they processed the conditional use permit.
M

The rezoning would make the existing gas station a nonconforming use and
subject to the nonconforming use provisions of the ?bonds View Zoning
Ordinance. The rezoning would inhibit the commercial use of the site and
promote residential redevelopment.
The procedure used to implement the rezoning would he:
1. Plar�a ddevelopment moritorium on the area being considered for
rezoning. --
2. Conduct a rezoning study to dUrrminr the appruprintp zoning district
for the area.
3. Process the rezoning in accurdarne with the City's zoning procedures.
If upon review of the applicant's request, the City finds the proposed use to
be acceptable and chooses to approve the conditional use permit, the following
items shculd be addressed:
1. Planning District 6 of the Comirehensive Plan should be amended to reflect
a change in proposed land use.
2. The applicant's site conforms to the B-3 lot area and lot width requirements.
3. Site drainage plans must be submitted for review and approval of the
City Engineer.
4. The six foot high fence at the perimeter of the property is acceptable,
however, the fence cannot extend beyond the front building line. The
5ite-PJ.4-O-5hpw1 that the fence (loos beyond the buildrna on both sides of
The lot. The fence snould be setback in coke with the zoning
requirements. Landscaping &hould replace the fence in these areas to
screen adjacent residential properties.
5. Building setback. The building complies with the 0-3 setback standards.
The canopy proposed over the gas pumps encroaches into the front yard
setback within 10 feet of the property line. The Hounds View Zoning
Ordinance makes no setback exception for these canopies. As such, the
structure is in violation of the required setback. Three options are
available to correct this violation:
a. Revise the site design to conply with the established setback
standard.
b. Consider a variance from the established setback.
c. Consider a Zoning Ordinance amendment to specifically address
gas station canopies.
Steve Thatcher
31 January 1985
Page Five
Review of the site does not reveal a hardship unique to the site that
would warrant a variance. Since the canopies are cowman to motor fuel
operations, the City ry wish to amend their Zoning Ordinance to
establish a setback exception for these structures. An amendment of
this type would establish a standard for all similar operations any
where in the City rather than focus on a single operation.
6. Landscaping to enhance the site and screen the adjacent properties is
important if the use is allowed to expand. A landscape screen is
required in replace of the fence in front of the front building line.
All open space surrounding the paved area must be grassed and landscaped
in accordance with Section 411.W.U.(8) n. A l,rodscapu pian should be
submitted for City review and approval.
7. Parking. Based on a fluor area of 1,296 square feet, the site is required
to have 16 on -site parking stalls. Thirteen parking stalls are provided,
three additional stalls are required.
Required
Use Gross Floor Space Net Floor Area Spaces
Motor Fuel Station 4
Retail (1 space/100 sq.ft.) 1,296 - 130 = 1,166 , 100 = 12
The parking along the east lot line is setback only 24 feet from the
front lot line. The Zoning Ordinance prohibits parking in the required
front yard. As such, a 30 foot setback is required.
8. Curb Cuts. The site plan indicates that site access will be provided by
two existing curb cuts with a slight alteration to the westerly curb
cut. This curb cut arrangement serves the site well.

Re: Apple Valley Red-E-!Iix v. City of St. Louis Park
Dear Doi:
The above case which was decided on December 21, 1984 presents
a zoning decision that could have some input to us.
The Red-E-tMix Company commenced a lawsuit sucking to determine
whether or not a 1973 zoning ordinance amendment was invalid so far
as it provided for the elimination of red-e-mix plants as a permitted
use in the industrial zones of the City. Red-"-!4ix was the owner of
the facility which was constructed in 1954. in 1959, st. Louis Park
passed a zoning code which in part provided that a red-e-mix plant
would be permitted in the industrial zone only if it were issued a
special use permit. The special use permit was not granted and the
court found that this was a pre-existing non -conforming use.
In 1973, the City adopted an extensive amendmr_nt to its zoning
code which eliminate 29 industrial uses as permitted uses in the City.
one such use was the Red-L-IMix plant. In 1981, Red-E-Mix engaged in
certain activities at the plant which the City characterized as improve-
ments.
The iesue p_esented to the Appellate court was whether the 1973
coning am2ndmunts were void and unenforceable as to the Red-L•-!Mix plant.
'noe Appellate Court held that the 1973 zoning amendm:nts insofar as they
rc applicable to Red-L•'-Aix were void and unenforceable, and that they
•1;.I11t be permitted to fully operate its facilities as a pre-existing
I:ol-conforming use. Further, that the 1973 chanyus are void and unen-
foLceable against this Red-t !Mix plant.
Tale court held that absent a court determination that the Red-E-Mix
plant is a public nuisance or a nuisance per se, a city simply cannot
legislate P. business out of existence.
C
Page 2
I anticipate we may be facing some similar questions in -the
near future relative to certain business activities that may want
to be expanded or remodeled even though the Comprehensive Municip
Plan would appear to prohibit such expansion. Unfortunately,
Red-E-Mix case was not handled well by St. Louis Park since the
issue of whether or not Red-E-Mix's improvements were authorized
-
or allowable was not litigated in this particular case because of
procedural problems that the city overlooked.
You may want to distribute this opinion to your zoning and
building code staff as well as the Planning Commission for their
information.
Yours, truly, 1 n �

DISCUSSION OF CORROSION AREAS FOR UNDERGROUND TANKS
Information based on 40 years of study by the
National Bureau of Standards, and a 1968
nationwide survey of oil companies, utilities,
pipe line companies, natural gas transmission
and distribution systems, and communications
companies Is reflected In this corrosion map.
The survey was made by the Hinchman Co.,
Corrosion Engineers, Detroit, Michigan.
In most of the black areas the average life of
unprotected steel tanks Is less than 10 years. In
the gray - less then 20 years.
The seriousness of the Corrosion problem Is

extinguisher, with a minimum Underwriter Laboratory extinguisher rating of 12
B.
II. PURGING THE TANK OF FLAMMABLE. VAPORS
A. The tank is to be isolated from any flammable vapor source before work begins.
Tanks that are manifolded togther create a prevalent danger in that explosive
vapors can infiltrate a tank after it has b-en purged. Submersible pumps mast be
removed and op, nings plugged. Lines that may be common to other stoiage
tanks, such as suction, syphon and vent lines, are to blanked. The Contractor
must be aware that it is common practice to manifold vent lines at locations
where the tanks have been adapted for vapor recovery.
B. The lank shall be purged of flammable vapors by use of an air mover constructed'
of light gauge metal of the venturi Oct) type, or low pressure blower. Air movers
located in file possible path of vapor travel shall be driven by steam, air or
explosion proof electric motors. The apparatus used to inject the air is to be
handed to the tank.
C. Purging is to continue as long as tests show vapors in the flammable range are
contained in the tank.
D. Tests for flammable vapors are to be made with a Combustible Gas Indicator,
immediately before cutting or drilling and frequently during the course of the
work. Vapor samples arc to be taken in file excavation and at the top. middle and
bottom of the tank at each testing. it is essential (hat the operator using the
indicator be well schooled in the use of the Combustible Gas indicator and that he
perform the checks. recon-immended by the manufacturer to insure that the
instrument is in good condition prior to the beginning of each work day.
E. not work, such as drilling or cutting, shall not be performed when flammable
vapors are indicated in the excavation or in the tank. Combustible Gas indicator
readings above 20 Lower Explosion Limit (I.r-) are to be considered explosive.
ill. OPENING THE TANK
After it is determined that a safe atmosphere has been established, the tank may
be opened. If cutting and drilling are necessary, the tools are to be air operated or
run by explosion proof electric motors and bonded to the tanks.
IV. CLEANING AND SURFACE PREPARATION
A. Employees entering the tank and those handling tank sludge, will be fully
clothed so that arms, legs, head and torso are protected from contact with the
tank residue and the coating resins and shall wear oil and water resistant boots
and gloves. In addition, protective respiratory equipment providing positive air
pressure, :n a full facepiece mask, will he worn by thr• entering the tank before
and during bottom sediment and water removal, sandblasting and removal of
residue and during the coating application. Protective equipment shall be
provided, used and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition. Persons
working in the tank when respirators are required, will be equipped with safety
harnesses and safety lines and stand-by employees will be available, who are
capable of lifing workers from the tank, in the event of an emergency.
Communications shall be maintained between the workers and stand-by
employees.
B. Inspection of the interior may be made with oue of several forms of internal
inspection lamps or flashlights approved for Class I, nivision I, Group D, hazard
locations, or a mirror may be used to refleci light into the container.
C. pumps used for the removal of bottom sediment and water shall be explosion
proof. Shovels used to remove solid sludge shail be of tiie non-ferrous or
sparkproof type.
D. The interior tank surfaces are to be sandblasted to a white metal finish. The
shovels used to remove file residue shall be sparkproofas in IV. C., above. All
Corrosion, scale, sand and dirt must be removed. Sandblasting, revoval of sand
and scale and wiping, are to be scheduled for one continuous operation.
Holes are to be located and plugged with boiler plugs, base resin, trowel material
and reinforced with glass. Seams are to be filled with trowel material to give a
smooth, rounded, covered surface for better application of the spray coat.
1i
V. APPLICATION
A. The coating resins should be applied immediately alter the sandblasting operation
is completed, but application must begin no later than 16 hours following and
before, any visible rusting occurs. If visible rusting is apparent, additional surface
preparation will be required up to and including resandblasling, at the discretion
of the engineer supervising the work.
11. The final spray coat is to average 150 mils thick and in no case, less than 125
mils, and is to he free of runs, pin holes or wher defects.
C. The applied resin is to be allowed to cure for the time period and at the
temperature specified by Armor Shield, before product is reintroduced into the
lank.
VI. INSPECTION
A. 'file Contractor is to nolifv Owner of file Scheduled starling time for the
application process so that, if desired, an inspection of the sandblasted surface can
be made.
A. The Contractor is to notify owner of the time scheduled for closing the tank, so
that an inspectrn of the coated surface can be made.
VII. CLOSING
A. Where no hatch cover exists and a manhole has been cut out, the tank is to be
scaled by the following method:
using an oversized cover plate, having the same thickness as the tank, and
overlapping the hole 2' on each side, boll the plate securely over the opening
through pre -drilled holes on 4" centers. Trowel material is to be applied around
the opening to provide a seat for the cover plate. The cover plate is to be pre-
formed to the curve of the tank and fit snugly to the tank surface at the plate
edge. The plate and surrounding tank surfaces are to be sandblasted, the plate
edge and bolts filled and rounded as in 4. E., and the entire area coaled with
trowel material or spray coat.
B. Allow the plate coating to cure. Fill the excavation. All rubbish and debris shall
be removed from the site and the work area swept clean.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY CUU L
FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRAI'UR -
DATE: MAY 2, 1985
SUBJECT: MOUNDS VIEW K STATION
City Attorney Richard Meyers, Public Wnrks/Community
Development Director Steve Thatcher and I recently met to
discuss the proposal by the Mounds View K Station on Highway
10 to remodel their facilities and the recommendation of the
City Planning Commission which included a recommendation to
revise the City's Comprehensive Plan. We are concerned that
any effort on the Dart of the City to oiecu-meal amend the
imp
that it is necessary that the City undertake app
evaluations of the Comprehensive Plan to determi
or not modifications of the Plan are appropriate
to implement said modifications.
he
We feel
ropriate
ne whether
and, if so,
In order to provide the City with appropriate time to under-
take a study of the Comprehensive Plan and make any
necessary modifications, it will he necessary for the City
to implement some type of a moratorium on developm.,;-nt in
those areas where conflict currently exists. Minnesota
Statute 462.355 Subdivision 4, copy attached, provides that
a municipality may adont an interim ordinance applicable to
all or part of its jurisdiction for the purpose of
protecting the planning process and health, safety and
welfare of its citizens by regulating, restricting or
prohibiting any use, development, or subdivision within the
jursidiction or a portion thereof for a period not to exceed
one year from the effective date of an ordinance if the City
is rord, irring planning ehudips. Staff wnuld r®rnmmend that
the Council adopt an interim ordinance prohibiting develop-
ment and subdivision of property fronting on Highway 10 in
planning districts 6 and 12, copy of map attached, for the
purpose of performing a study to re-evaluate the provisions
of the City's Comprehensive Plan regarding future
development of property frontinr, on Highway 10 in those
planning districts with the ordinance to expire 90 days
after its adoption.
Should the Councii agree with this recommiendation Staff
would be prepared to present an interim ordinance for its
first reading at the May 13, 1985 Council Meeting. '

Mr. Gjerde presented pictures to the Planning Commission
of Mr. Young's driveway. fie stated his own had been in
very bad repair and needed replacing.
Chairman Mountin explained that hen finding for an appli-
cant on a variance request, they must find a hardship
which must be unique to that property, and the hardship
cannot be self-created by the property owner.
Mr.r.jerde stated he felt his hardship was lack of room
to park vehicles as he has a single car garage, and
without the additional 5 feet on the side of his driveway,
there would be no place to park the three cars or boat.
Commissioner Miller stated she felt the contractor should
have checked with the City to see what the Code calls for
before installing the driveways.
Director Thatcher replied the ultimate responsibility
rests with the property owner, to insure that any work
being done meets Code, and that the contractor is licensed
in the City.
Mr. Gjerde stated that one corner of his garage is abcut
4 feet from the property line.
Chairman Mountin stated she has a real problem with the
driveway encroaching on the lot line, and she reminded
the Commissioners they cannot consider an economic hard-
ship.
Director Thatcher reported he has gone through the files
and can find no variances that were ever granted for these
two properties.
Chairman Mountin also pointed out that according to Code,
no driveway can be any wider that 22 feet at the.curb cut,
and Mr. Gjerde's driveway is considerably wider than 22 feet.
Mr.. Gjerde replied he had driven past a new home on Sherwood
that has a three car garage and the driveway goes straight
out to the street, and is wider. than 22 feet.
Director Thatcher replied he would have Staff look into it.
Ile also checked for the Commissioners and reported Mr. Gjerde's
lot is 80 feet wide.
Chairman Mountin stated she has a problem with a lot that
size encroaching on the neighbor. She added that while the
neighbor at this time may not mind, there is no assurance
of who will. live in those homes in the future and what their
feelings may be. She also stated she d:' not want to delay
a decision any longer on this item, and that if the Planning
Commission should deny the variances for the two properties,
✓ the property owners would have the right of appeal to the

Commissioner Forslund stated she would agree with Mr.
Gjerde that Ire does not have access to his back yard and
she did not like to see a boat parked on the grass, as it
would rip it up.
Commissioner Miller stated she feels the Planning
Commission must uphold the Code, which requires a
hardship for a variance, and she does not feel Mr. Gjerde
has one.
Commissioner Zollner stated she can sympathize with Mr.
Gjerde, but she must go along with the Code, and without
a hardship, cannot grant a variance.
Motion/Second: Miller/Zollner to deny the variances for
tile property at 2267 Lois Drive, Case 193-86, and
2272 Loia Drive, Case 194-86, due to lack of hardship.
Motion Carrie
3 ayes 1 nay
Commissioner Forslund voted against the motion, stating
she felt it was a pre-existing condition, and he only
needs about a 2y foot variance since the garage is
closer than 5 feet from the property line. She added
she would rather see them park on the concrete drive-
way than on the grass.
Commissioner Miller stated that since the Code states
more
ARM
that anything which is replaced to a degree of
than 50 percent must be brought up to Code, she feels
the driveway should be placed 5 feet from the property
line, as specified in the Code.
Chairman Mountin stated the applicants can appeal the
Planning Commission's decision to the City Council.
Director 'Phatcher reported the next Cnunci.l. agenda

SUBJECT: VARIA`:CE FOR MYLO AND BARBARA GJERDE DRIVEWAY
AT 2272 LOIS DRIVE
Attached please find the following:
1. My memo to the Planning Comission dated 7/24/86.
2. Minutes from the 9/3/86 meeting regarding this variance
request.
The main issue is that the driveway at 2272 Lois Drive was
replaced without obtaining a building permit. The new driveway
is in the same location and is the same size as the old
driveway. City Code states that any restoration done in the City
must comply with existing Codes (Section 40.03, Subd. A and G).
The Planning Comission denied their request for a variance
because a hardship could not be found.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the variance not be
granted.

RE: Variance for Mylo and Barbara Gjerde
Driveway at 2272 Lois Drive
A driveway was replaced at 2272 Lois Drive without obtaining
a building permit for this work. The contractor doing this
work was not licensed to work in the City of Mounds view.
When the new driveway was inspected, it did not meet the
existing code which requires a 5-foot setback from the
property line.
City code states that any restoration work done in the City
must comply with the existing codes. (Chapter 40.03,
subdivision (A) and (G)).
The property owner has applied for a variance to the 5-foot
property setback requirement.
_ RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the variance not be
accepted and that the City's building code be enforce.-

placed without causing any problems. lie added that
this wetland will not be changed with any future
storm sewer system. Director Thatcher also pointed
out the applicant was in the process of filling the
property when the City enacted the moritorium on the

MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development
DATE: September 9, 1986
SUBJECT: DYNAMIC DESIGNERS REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A 7-UNIT
CONDOMIUM/APARTMENT ➢UILDING
Attached please find the following:
1. Planning application dated 6/23/86.
2. Staff report dated 8/6/86.
3. Mounds View Planning Commission Resolution No. 93-83 dated
9/7/83.
4. Mounds View Planning Commission Resolution No. 94-83 dated
9/7/83.
5. City Council Resolution No. 1653 dated 9/12/83.
6. Site, grading, and planting/landscaping plans dated 6/6/86.
7. My memo with attachments dated 8/29/86.
8. Minutes of the 9/3/86 Mounds View Planning Commission
meeting pertaining to this project.
The Mounds View Planning Commission denied the Resolution No.
170-86 regarding variances for Dynamic Designers proposal
(Planning Case No. 138-83). The major reason is that the
development does not meet City Code requirements for open space
(Chapter 40.06, Subd. B[e]). A minimum 625 square feet of
"usable open space" is required for each dwelling unit. Usable
open space is defined under City Code 40.02, Subd. B(107).
The Planning Commission did not take action on Resolution No.
168-86 because the variance resolution was denied.
City Code requires that a 7-unit condominium/apartment building
have a minimum of 4,375 square feet of open usable space. If the
developer constructs 5 units, City Code requires 3,125 square
feet of usable open space and the developer will have sufficient
usable open space to meet City Code requirements.
Staff requests direction on this issue.

Dear Mr. Thatcher:
We, Dynamic Designers, Inc., wish to appeal to the City Council the denial
by the Moundsview Planning Commission for, the variances necessary for us
to develop to its highest and best use, the property which we own on
Woodland Drive.
In,1983 the same dzevelopment plan had been accepted by the City Council.
We consider that that approval implied approval of the very variances t"
Planning Commission has now rejected.
Please contact Jim Cepress or myself if this letter of appeal is
inadequate or if any questions arise.

RE: WETLAND DETERMINATION - MOUNDS VIEW
FILE NO.
n /
Dear Mr. Cepress:
This letter is in response to your request for a determination of
wetlands located on ycur property lying in the NW<, NW4, Section 8,
T30N, R23W. It is my understanding that your property lies in the
general area bounded by Long Lake Road to the West, Bronson Drive
to the South, Edgewood Drive to the East and County Road I to the
North.
There are no protected wetlands under the jurisdiction of the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources (DNR) in this location. Our wetlands map
does, however, indicate that there is a wetland in this area that is
greater than one (1) acre in size but less than 2� acres. The City of
Mounds View's Wetland Zoning District Map also identifies this watland.
You should work with the City to satisfy their wetland ordinance require-
ments.
If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.

and capital improvement needs of the City.
The plan is comprised of four elements evaluating the public
service, capital improvement and long term revenue needs of
the community and a capital improvement budget summarizing the
capital improvement revenue requirements for the City over the 5
year period.
I. PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAM
The Public Service Program, as outlined by Section 7.05,
Subdivision 2 of the Home Charter, is to be:
a continui;g five-year plan for all public services
estimating future needs for the public.health, safety, and
welfare of the City. It shall measure the needs and
objectives for each C?.ty Department, the standard of -
services described, and the impact of such service on the
annual operating budget."
included in the 1986 Public Service Program are
organizational charts showing the present and proposed
organization and staffing of each of the City's departments.
Also attached is Appendix A showing the present organization
of the City down to the departmental levels.
The following is a review of each individual department, an
outline of its basic objectives and a determination of what
affect the needs of each individual department will have on
the City's annual budget.
A. Administration - The administration portion of the Public
Service Program encompasses a wide variety of activities
which will be addressed individually. These individual
areas of activ`_ty are City Council, Advisory Commissions,
Elections, City Hall, Legal and Fire, and
Clerk -Administrator's Office.
1) City Council - The City Council is comprised of five
elected officials; Mayor and four Councilmembers,
serving non-consecutive terms who, as a body, are
responsible for the administration of the City.
Basically, the objectives of the City Council are
identical to those of the City's Departments, as the
Council sets the policies wh"ch determine each
department's objectives. It is anticipated that the
level of service provided by the City Council, as it
relates to being a division of the Administration
section of this report, will not be changed and any
increased impact on the City's budget will only result
from inflationary factors, compensation increases, or
increases in fees, dues, or other expenses contained
within the Citv Council budget.
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Two Amlh
2) Advisory Commissions - The City has a variety of active
advisory commissions including Planning, Charter,
Festivities, Civil Service, Parks and Recreation, Energy,
Lakeside Park, and Cable T.V. which serve as advisory
bodies to the City .'ouncil and, when functioning jointly
with other political subdivisions, operate as an
administrative body reponsible to the City Council. An
example of the latter is the North Suburban Cable
Communications Commission, a consortium of 10 north
suburban Ramsey County municipalities established to
coordinate the franchising and oversee the operation of
Cable TV service in the 10 municipalities of which the
City is a member.
It is not anticipated that the activities of the City's
Commissions will significantly impact upon the annual
budget. Any budgetary increases are expected to result
from increases in general operating expenses such sa the
continuing update of the City's Comprehensive Land Use
Plan which began in 1985.
3) Elections - The election activities of the City include
the maintenance of Voter Registration records, provision
and maintenance of voting and ballot counting equipment,
supplies and administrative services. including election
judgee, necessary for the legal and efficient conduct of
elections.
It is not anticipated that basic election services will
change over the next five years except when special
elections are held, which cannot be anticipated, or the
State or Federal Governments modify the rules and
regulations for the conduct of elections in such a way
that increased expenditures are required.
9) City Hall - The City Hall Division of the Administra-
tion Department provideEi for the maintenance and
operation of the City Hall bui'.ding and office equipment,
personnel services, costs of the receptionist, office
supplies, postage and liability and automobile insurance
premiums.
Major capital expenditures are proposed in 1988 and 1989
to insulate and reroof the Council Chambers and
Administrative Offices portion of City Hall and replace
the building's heating system and controls,
respectively. As the building continues to age other
expenditures will be necessary to repaint, replace
carpet, etc. Other major expense increases have been
attributable to substantial increases in insurance
premiums experienced nationally during 1985 and 1986.
Whether this trend wiil continue is uncertain, however,
consideration needs to be given to the volatile insurance
market during the budget process.
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Three
5) Legal and Fire - Legal and fire protection services are
provided by contracting individuals or agencies, with the
level of service and the expense for such service to the
City being determined by them. As a result of a number
of recent changes in state law as it relates to DWI
arrests and who, the City or Countv, is responsible for
prosecuting non -criminal cases, the City's legal service
costs will be increasing and will be an unpredictable
factor in the budgeting process.
6) Clerk -Administrator's Office - The position of
CJerk-Admtn strator is established by Section 6.01 of the
Home Rule Charter with Section 6.03 outlining the duties
of the Clerk -Administrator. Basically, the duties of the
Clerk -Administrator and, as a result, the
Clerk -Administrator's Office can be summarized as
follows:
a. All of the duties and responsibilities of a City
Clerk in a statutory city including the conduct of
elections, maintenance of all municipal records and
accounts, and issuance of all licenses and permits,
except for Wilding permits and contractor's licens-s
b. Assisi the City Council in the administration of City
affairs including the supervision of its employees,
programs and activities, and labor contracts.
c. Prepare and submit to the City Council reports
relating to municipal projects and/or improvements,
periodic financial reports, annual operating budget,
long-term financial plan, capital improvement plan,
and annual financial statements.
d. Develop and maintain good public relations with the
gereral public through the preparation and
dissemination of news releases and other information,
an annual report on the financial condition of. the
City and other efforts.
e. Coordination of the City's activities with outside
agencies and consultants.
level of service provided by the Clerk -Administrator's
Office, staffed by the Clerk -Administrator and Administrative
Secretary, are dictated by the Nome Rule Charter, statutory
or local policy requirements, and the activities of the City
Council, City Commissions and Committees, and other City
Departments and consultants and the general citizenry.

In 1985 the Mounds View City Council authorized the hiring of
Management Advisors, Inc. to perform a study of the City's data
processing system requirements. As a result of this study the
City Council authorized the purchase of an in-house computer
system to meet the great majority of the City'o data processing
needs. The purchase of the hardware and software for the
computer system will occur over a five year period commencing
with the purchase of the initial hardware and software in 1986
and additional software in 1987.
Durina 1987 the Clerk -Administrator's Office will be
significantly involved in the implementation of the Economic
Development Plan/Program adopted by the City Council in 1986 and
in o'rerseeing the coordinated implementation of the various long
range plans approved by the City Council over the last four
yea a.
H. Finance - The Finance Department, headed by the Finance
Director, who also serves as Treasurer, coordinates the
financial activities of the City. Currently departmental
activities include the following:
1. Oversee the financial planning activities of the City. Ask
r. Coordinate the preparation of the Long -Term
Financial Plan
b. Direct and coordinate preparation of the annual
budget with close involvement and input from
department heads
2. Perform all City accounting and financial reporting
activities
a) Prepare and control accounts payable
b) Receive dnd manage all municip.l revenues
c) Prepare and control payroll
d) Utility billing preparation and collection
3. Prepare monthly financial reports, the annual
financial statement, and assist auditors in the
conduct of their annual audit of City financial
records
4. Invest temporarily idle City funds to maximize return
on available resources
5..Manage the City's insurance programs and evaluate and
recommend modifications to ensure maximum protection
at minimum cost
6. Oversee debt management program of the City
A
1996 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Five
7. Oversee the City's general purchasing program
In recent years external factors have caused a repriorization of
the duties and responsibilities of the Finance Department.
Economic considerations, i.e., the economy and the State's
"fiscal crisis", have brought about an increasing emphasis upon
financial reporting. New generally accepted accounting standards
and reporting requirements mandated by the State of Minnesota
have and will continue to promote great.er disclosure and
understanding of City finances by bond rating services, State and
Federal agencies, the aeneral public, and other readers of City
financial statements. Economic conditions have precipitated re-
ductions in the amounts of Federal and State Aids to cities.
Those reductions have challenged cities to maintain levels of
services to their citizens with reduced revenues. The City has
met thin challenge through improved financial planning. The
annual budget has been substantially improved in recent years as
a result of greater involvement and participation by Staff and
Council. As a consequence the City has been able to continue to
provide oeeded public services to its residents with only modest
increases in property tax rates and develop cash flow and
contingency reserves needed to maintain its financial integrity.
In order to maintain its ability to provide needed public
services to its residents the City needs to maintain the present
level of financial planning and to expand long range planning
efforts begun with the Water and Sewer System Maintenance and
Capital Improvement Program. That type of planning should be
undertaken for acquisition/replacement and maintenance of all
land, buildings and equipment.
In January of 1986, the Council approved the purchase of an
in-house computer system. Anticipated installation and
implementation of the system will be the summer of 1986. This
new system, when fully implemented, will enhance the financial
reporting capabilities of the department.

rating. To achieve
that were approved
These objectives
is to maintain and/or improve
this, several objectives have
during a 1985 Council Goal
are outlined in the following
The first objective is the implementation of a fixed asset
accounting system. Such a system will enable the City to
properly inventory and account for its investment in equipment,
vehicles, and buildings and structures. Staff will be working to
inventory existing items. After the inventory is completed it
will be entered onto the new fixed asset accounting system which
will be part of the new computer system.
A second objective is to obtain a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting for the City from the
Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Six
Canada. This Certificate is given to those governmental units
whose financial reports are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals as promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. In 1984 only 703 Certificates were
awarded to governmental units in the United Stetes and Canada.
Of these approximately 38 were awarded to governmental units in
Minnesota. In order to receive this Certificate the fixed asset
accounting system described in the proceeding paragraph must be
I
mplemented and various statistical tables, listing ten years of
data, have to be prepared. Staff is presently working on these
items.

D. Public hbrks/Community Development - The major goals of the
Public Works Department are the maintenance and/or
replacement of an aging infrastructure, the preservation of
wetlands, and implementation of the Comprehensive Storm Water
Management Plan. The major goals of the Community
Development division are to insure orderly growth and proper
building construction for the safety of our reoidents. A
more comprehensive listing of services provided by the
Department are contained in a memorandum dated June 5, 1985
attached as Exhibit A.
At the present time the following position is proposed to be
added to the department.
Apartment inspections are taking longer to complete
than originally anticipated. Some code violations
are not enforced as rigorously as they could be due
to staffing limitations. In order to do a better
job in these areas, a temporary full-time inspector
is proposed to be hired.
Should the City's infrastructure expand with the addition of
wells, storage tanks an6,'or lift stations, additional
personnel will be needed to maintain and service such
additions to the City's public facilities. Any additional
workloads could be initially managed using temporary
full-time or seasonal personnel until.such time that a
permanent full-time position can be justified. The
accompanying organizational chart illustrates she addition of
temporary full-time positions. These positions would help
oaks and would be hired only if
with the summer season work p
workloads justify. (See Exhibit B)
The City's 1984 Street Maintenance Plan provides for an
initial five year program requiring an annual investment of
$131,500. the two major sources of. funding for this program
are the City's annual allocation of monies from the Silver
Lake Woods Improvement Fund and the State of Minnesota's
Municipal State Aid (MSA) Program. Any shortfall in funding
would need to be made up by using other City fund sources or
assessing a portion of the program's cost to benefitting
properties.
At the request of. the Clerk -Administrator a review of the
City's 1984 Street Maintenance Plan has been conducted. It
has been concluded that the funding for this program can be
reducad t.o $120,000 per year without reducing the quality of
the City's streets.

E. Police/Civil Defense - The objective of the Police Department
is to provide basic Police Service, preserve the peace, and
protect the public by enforcing State and Local laws.
In doing so, the Department's role is to enforce the law in a
fair and impartial manner, rc:ognizing both the statutory and
judicial limitations of Police authority and the
constitutional rights of all persons.
Basic services provided by the Police Department include:
a. Prevention of Crim?
involving the community in programs such as, Operation
Identification and Block Watch. Instilling in the
community a sense of concern for crime problems and law
enforcement needs to help combat the problems.
b. Deterrence of Crime
Routine -p—at—ro-FlFing of the City streets, parks, and
business, areas reduces crime because criminals feel
immediate apprehension would be imminent. In the course
of routine patrol, officers investigate behavior wLich
reasonably appears to be criminally directed.
c. Apprehension of Offenders
Once a crime has been committed, it is the duty of the
Department to initiate the Criminal Justice process by
identifying and arresting the perpetrator, to obtain the
necessary evidence, and to cooperate with other law
enforcement agencies and the courts in the prosecution of
the case.
d. Recovery and Return of Property
The Department makes every reasonable effort to reccver
lost or stolen property, to identify the owner(s),
and to ensure its prompt return.
e. Traffic Control
To Facilitate the safe and expeditious movement of
vehicular and pedestrian traffic, the Department enforces
traffic laws, investigates traffic accidents, and directs
traffic.
I. Public Service
The public relies on the Police Department for assistance
and advice in many routine and emergency situations which
occur in the community. Although many of these calls are
not police related, we respond to these requests and
render such aid and/or advice as indicated by the
situation.
1986 LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Fourteen
g. Animal Control/Nuisance Abatement
The Community Service Officer and Officers of the
Department enforce the animal control and nuisance
ordinances. Che Department impounds dogs and other
animals and interacts with residents to maintain the
health and safety of the community,
h. School Liason/Youth Counseling
The Department's Investigators and other Officers of the
Department work closely with school officials, Probation
Officers, Human Services, and other agencies to aid in
the health, s.rfety, and welfare of the community's youth.
i. Civil Defense
The Department coordinates and plans with other agencies
procedures used in the event of a major disaster or
hazardous materials incident. Rendering aid to the
injured, providing security, and coordinating support
groups is a responsibility and a duty that Lhe Department
is prepared for.
The Police Department provides police services to the community
year around, twenty-four hours per day. At the present time, the
Department employs a Chief, Lieutenant, two Sergeants, two
Investigators and seven Patrolmen. The Department also employs a
is
Community Service Officer, one full-time Secretary and one
part-time Secretary. support sevices are provided by the Ramsey
County Sheriff's Department, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension
and other agencies.
Increases in total Department vacation days accrued and officers
having to testify in court more frequently has strained manpower
availability in recent years. Total vacation time has increased
because many officers have more than ten years with the City and
most have been employed with the City for more than five years.
City Code and Union contracts increase vacation time at the five
and ten year mark. Recent legislation has increased penalties on
some misdemeanor crimes, hence more people have requested court
hearings and jury trials. Officers have to testify at these
trials and they receive compensation in the form of overtime pay
or compensatory time off.
To help supplement manpower shortages the Depac�ment is proposing
the hiring of licensed police officers on a part-time basis
beginning in 1987. These officers are licensed by the State of
Minnesota and are fully qualified to perform the duties of a
police officer. The Department anticipates that these officers
will work approximately 400 hours during 1987.
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Fifteen
1. To further help supplement o_Eficer shortages and to have more
manpower available during special events or disasters, the
Department has created a Police Reserve Unit. In January of 1986
four reservists were sworn in and began the training process.
The cost- of supplying a reservist with uniforms and equipment is
approximately $400.00. All work performed by a Reserve officer
is strictly volunteer. The majority of our Reserve Officers will
work in excess of 100 hours this year. It is anticipated that:
the Department will add one or two reservists per year to reach a
maximum strength of ten.
A reorganization of the Police Department occurred in 1986. A
Lieutenant and two Sergeants were promoted to newly created
positions. The Sergeant/Investigator and the Corporal positions
were eliminated. Specific tasks and responsibilities were
assigned to the newly created positions. The reorganization will
provide for better efficiency and accountability of the members
of the Police Department.
Due to recent adoE;:ion of the Administrative Offense Chapter of
the Municipal Code, the Police Department's activities as it
relates to citing non-moving traffic violations and Code
violations will change. With the implementation of Chapter 400,
the Police Chief and next senior ranking officer will serve as
Administrative Clearing Officers. Also, the fact that the type of
offenses regulated by Chapter 400 will, in most cases, not
involve court proceedings, the issuing officers will no longer
need tv appear when a hearing is conducted. This chc,ge should
have a significant impact upon court time/overtime paid to
officers. In the short time that this program has been in
existence, additional revenues have been realized.

P, PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY
The major goal of. the Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Department is to develop a comprehensive and balanced system
of parks, open space, trails, and leisure oriented programs
for all residents of Mounds View in as economic a manner as
possible. The four elements necessary to accomplish this goal
and the objectives of each element are as follows:
1. Recreation Programs
The overriding recreation objective is continuing
enric:iment and growth through leisure education and
recreational opportunities for all City residents.
2. Forestry Program
The primary objective of the Forestry Program is to
preserve and supplement the existing floral canopy in
Mounds View and provide additional support services
relative to plants, shrubbery, and shade trees for the
enjoyment and education of all City residents.
3. Parks and Recreation Facilities
Develop and imrlement a Comprrh• •e Parks and Recreation
Area and Facilities Plan for. �, 1 in accordance with
accepted standards and keeping .1 the needs and best
interests of the City.
4. Park Maintenance
Provide a continuous and systematic program of repair,
replacement and maintenance of all park and recreation
facilities and equipment.
The overriding concept the department proposes for the next
five years is a steady, regulated and controlled growth. The
rationale for such a position is based on four premises:
1. The City Council will reinstitute a Long Range Capital
Improvement Program which outlines a minimum expendi—
ture of $50,000 for parks and recreation facilities on an
annual basis with the monies to be earmarked from the
City's Special Projects Fund.
2. The City will continue to receive park development grants
from either State, Federal or metropolitan dollars to
develop the City's park system and supplement from the
City's special projects or general fund dollars.
1-1
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Eighteen
3. The recreation activity account will continue to grow in a
controlled and regulated manner with annual payments being
made to the fund to offset the existing $24,000 debt.
4. The demand for recreation programs will continue to grow as
the City parks and recreation facilities develop and improve
over the next five years. With the development of Greenfield
Park, phase II development of silver View Park and expansion
of the Edgewood Community Center, we feel that the park sys-
tem will stabilize and be able to improve and grow with these
new and/or improved facilities.
5. The City will begin to explore a variety of park funding
alternatives including establishing a capital improvement
fund, general fund balance and possibly a designated mill
levy.
The accompanying organizational charts identified as Exhibits C
and D outline the existing structure of the department and the
proposed staffing for the five year period covered by the plan
respectively. As can be noted in Exhibit D, the addition of one
half-time forestry assistant in 1987 is proposed to be paid from
the city's general forestry fund, and the half-time athletic
coordinator to be added in 1988 through the recreation activity
account. Staff is proposing that the summer clerical assistant
be funded from the General Fund rather than relying upon the
funding from the summer jobs program. The City Aquatics
Supervisor's position has been restructured to a full-time
position in conjunction with the City of New Brighton.
Staff also propo^•es that in 1988, a park foreman's position will.
be established and the two existing park maintenance personnel
will report directly to that position with park maintenance
reverting under the supervision of the Parks, Recreation and
Forestry Director. The park maintenance foreman position has been
a long range goal of the department for the past five years, and
the position will be a working foreman, adding to the existing
two man staff.
In the area of park development, it is proposed that a minimum of
$50,000 continue to be allocated for park deveiopment in the next
five years. It is envisioned that the monies be allocated from
the interest that is earned on the Special Projects Fund or from
the General Fund itself. Please note that the proposed Capital
Improvement Program does not include funding for Silver View Park
ph:.se II development in 1987 as it is hoped that the Silver Lake
Woods improvement fund or other means will be used to match the
Silver View Park grant should it become available.
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Nineteen
The two major priorities for funding in 1987•-1992 will be
creative play environments and overall park renovation. The
majority of the creative play environments were constructed
approximately 10-14 years ago and are currently in need of
replacement and/or major repair. The City's neighborhood park
system in general is going through a "rehab" stage as many of the
park sites were developed at a minimal level 15 years ago and
only minor improvb.nents have been made to date with the exception
of Silver View Park, Greenfield Park, Groveland Park and Random
Park.

II.^.APITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Section 7.05, Subdivision 3, of the Charter calls for the
preparation of a Capital Improvement Plan as part of the
Long -Term Financial Plan which "...shall consist of projects
and facilities that are or will be needed by the City in
carrying out the anticipatcd program of public services."
The development of a Capital Improvement Plan requires
the identification of needed capital improvements to
existing facilities and equipment, establishment of
policies setting forth the City's position regarding
capital expenditures and revenues to fund such expendi-
tures, and an evaluation of the long-term needs of the
community.

III. LONG TERM REVENUE PROGRAM
A. PUBLIC SERVICES
1. Basic Government Services
The City Charter specifies that the Long Term
Revenue Program shall be a tentative policy for
the long term financing of public services and
capital improvements. The program is thus a
general policy statement outlining the methods
by which City services and capital improvements
are to be financed.
The goal of the City is to finance governmental
services provided to the residents entirely from
current recurring revenues in order to achieve a
balanced budget. Additionally, the City strives
to maintain property tax levies at moderate
levels.
Most governmental services provided by the City
are accounted for in the General Fund. Services
provided are those which are traditionally
associated with municipal government. They
include General Government: City, Council,
Comm'ssions, Administration, Elections, City
Attorncy, Filnancc cnd PublicWorks; Pllblic
Safety: Police, Fire, Civil Defense and Nuisance
Abatement; Streets; and Parks and Recreation.
In 1985 those services were financed from the
following revenue sources:
Revenue Source Amount Percent
Property Taxes 644,118 35.45%
Licenses and Permits 92,802 5.11%
Intergovernmental 819,201 45.07%
Revenue
Charges for Services 92,639 5.10%
Fines h Forfeitures 73,786 4.06%
Interest Income 67,174 3.70%
Other Revenues 27,355 1.51%
1,817,075 100.00E
Property taxes and intergovernmental revenues
combined account for 80.52% of the City's
General Fund revenues. The level of those two
revenue sources are controlled by the State of
Minnesota through property tax levy limitation
laws and the levels of funding for local
government aids and homestead credits; which
are the two largest sources of intergovernmental
revenues the City receives. In recent years the
State Legislature, in an effort to solve the
State's fiscal problems, has limited the amount
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Thirty
of: homestead credits and reduced the amount of
local government aids given to the City. Such
actions by the State Legislature dramatically affect
the City's ability to provide governmental services
to residents, while keeping property tax levies to a
minimum since property taxes and intergovernmental
revenues account for 80.52% of the General Fund's
revenue sources. As a consequence of the City's
reliance on thes- two revenue sources to finance the
majority of governmental services the City is very
much affected by actions of the Legislature
regarding property tax levy limitations and levels
of intergovernmental aids.
Other revenue sources used to finance governmental
services arc liccnscs and permits
services. An annual review of the adequacy of
licenses, permits and other fees is conducted. As
result of such reviews fees have beer. increased.
Such actions have lessened the City's reliance on
property taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The
City will continue to review fees and to seek other
revenue sources.
One area in which the City has worked to lessen
reliance on the property taxes is Parks and
Recreation. Recreation programminq is accounted for
in the Recreation Activity Fund. Over the past three �^K
years many costs which had formerly been supported
by property taxes and paid from the General Fund .,
have been shifted to the Recreation Activ?.ty Fund.
Such costs include personnel and materials and
supplies expenses. In addition fees charged for
various recreation programs have been increased. In
doing so the City has sought to maintain a balance
between the necessity to reduce reliance on property
taxes and the affordability of recreation programs.
Before further shifts of costs and/or increases of
recreation fees are undertaken consideration should
be given to maintaining this balance.
A promising idea for development of City parks with
non —tax revenues is the neighborhood park concept.
The City has encouraged and supported establishment
of private foundations which work toward improvement
of their neighborhood parks through a matching funds
program. The City matches funds raised by
foundations for park improvements. The first
project under this program was undertaken in 1985 at
Groveland Park. The City provided 50% of costs of
installation of playground equipment and the
Groveland Park Foundation provided the other 50%.
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Thirty-one
The City has been active and will continue to be so
in searching for and utilitizing various Federal and
State Grant programs to lessen reliance on the
property tax levy. One area in which the City has
been active is in obtaining manpower through the
Minnesota Emergency Employment Development Program
(MEED) and the Jobs Partnership Training Act (JPTA)
and their predecessors. These programs h-vr
provided the City with additional manprwe: in the
following areas: Public Works Maintenance, Parks
Maintenance, Parks and Recreation Administration,
and General Administration.
Another area in which the City has been successful
in obtaining grants -in -aids have been street
maintenance. Increased revenues for maintenance of
Minnesota State Aid (MSA) Streets have been obtained
in 1984, 1985, and 1986. It is anticipated that the
City will continue to receive increased maintenance
funds in the future.
Other grants -in -aids received by the City include:
Civil Defense, Police Training and Police and Fire
State Aids to offset police and fire department
pension costs.
r•
Through these revenue sources the City seeks to
f' reduce reliance on property tax levies.
Additionally, property taxes and all other revenue
sources are used to meet the City's goals of
achieving balanced budgets by financing current
services with current revenues.
utility Services
Current operations of the Water and Sewer utilities
should be financed entirely from the fees charged
the users of the utilities. User fees should be
established at a level sufficient to provide for
annual recurring operating expenses, depreciation
expenses, retirement of bonded debt, and an
allowance for emergency repairs. This will ensure
that users of the utilities will pay their fa;.r
share for services received and will also maintain
the financial integrity of the !dater and Sewer Fund.
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Pace Thirty-two
B. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
-a"
Methods for financing capital improvements will vary
with the types of improvements and conditions which
exist at the time the project is undertaken.
Traditional public improvement projects include but are
not limited to water mains, sewer mains, storm sewers,
paving of streets, curbs and gutters. These
improvements should be financed entirely from special
assessments which are assesssd against benefitted
properties.
Capital Improvements of the Water and Sewer Utilities
should be financed from fees of the users of the
utilities. These improvements could include, but
should not be limited to, water towers, wells,
filtration and treatment plants. Construction costs
could be paid for by the issuance of revenue bonds with
the bonds being retired through the revenues of the
utilities. As far as practicable capital improvements
of these utilities should be financed by current
revenues or by fui,9s which have i:aen set aside for
future capital projects. The City has established the
Water Systems Contributions Fund to finance maintenance
and/or construction of the City's water system. Water
availability charges collected from individual's �1
connecting to the City's water system are the fund's
source of revenue. As of December 31, 1985 the fund
had a balance of $200,056.
other capital improvements or capital facilities could
be considered a separate category. These include, but
are not limited to, park acquisition and development,
municipal buildings, storm drainage improvements,
street reconstruction and maintenance, equipment,
vehicles and office machines and equipment. These may
be financed by several meLhuds and these methods are
listed in order of preference.
Grants -In -Aid - These include categorical grants
from County, State r.nd Federal Agencies.
Federal Revenue Sharing monies have been used to
finance capital items in past years. The City's
annual allotment has been approximately $50,000 -
$60,000 for the past Several years. The Revenue
Sharing Program is scheduled to terminate as of
December 31, 1986. The loss of these other
revenues will place a greater burden on other
revenue sources, most notably the property tax
levy, to finance capital improvements.
Municipal State Aid (MSA) Road Funds have been and
will continue to be a source of financing
construction and reconstruction of the City's
1986 LONG TERN FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Thirty-three
G, MSA Street System.
Park acquisition and development funds have in the past
been received from the State of Minnesota, Department of
Energy and Economic Development. Staff continues to
submit grant applications to this agency for funding of
park development projects.
2. Pay As You Go - This method uses current year's revenue
to finance recurring capital items. It is used to
finance small tools, office equipment and some vehicles,
notably police squad cars.
3. Reserve Funds - Funds are set aside for a specific
project over a period of years and are subsequently used
to finance several types of capital projects.
The Park Improvement Fund was established to account for
cash dedications received when land is subdivided. Such
monies are to be used for park acquisition and develop-
ment. As of December 31, 1985 the Fund had a balance of
$5,595.
The Storm Water Management Fund was established to
account for storm drainage management charges paid when
land is developed within the City. Monies obtaivad are
designated for the development of storm drainage
facilities. The balance available as of December 31,
1985 was $277,582.
After construction of public improvements in the Silver
Lake Woods project a balance of $602,283 remained as of
December 31, 1984. An opinion received from the City
Attorney states that these monies may be used for any
public improvement project authorized by Chapter 26 of
the City Code. Pursuant to Resolution No. 1760, $176,000
was designated as a reserve for dabt service of the
project's outstanding bonded indebtedness. As of
December 31, 1985 a balance of $467,398 remains available
for public improvement projects. While monies of the
fund may be used for any project authorized pursuant to
Chkapter 26 of the City Code it is recommended that the
fund's monies be designated for street maintenance and
construction. Such a designation would ensure a partial
source of funding for the City's street maintenance
program, as outlined in a rece^t street maintenance
study, for a number of years.
Pursuant to Council direction the 1987 budget will
contain monies to be placed in a reserve for equipment
purchases for the purchase of squad cars. Staff
recommends that, as far as practicable, this practice be
expanded in future years to other vehicles and equipment
1986 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
Page Thirty-four
when future purchases can be projected with accuracy.
In the Spring of 1984 a Special Projects Fund was
established by ordinance. Proceeds of the cash
defeasance of several bond issues were placed in the
fund. The ordinance provides that the monies of the
fund be used for the purchase of capital items for all
City funds but the "tility Funds. As of December 31,
1985 the balance in the fund was $1,491,142.
Staff recommends that, as far as practicable, only the
interest earnings of the fund be used to finance capital
items. it is estimated that interest earnings of the
fund will be approximately $64,000 in 1987 and subsequent
years if the interest rates remain constant and the fund
balance remains at the current level.
4. 8orrowino - General obligation bonds may be issued to
finance various capital items subject to Otate laws and
City Charter provisions. Tax levies
would be pledged to repay the bonds.
The City has the ability to acquire equipment under
leant -purchase agreements. A lease is a form of
borrowing as an interest rate is inputted when the lease
payments are calculated. Aavantages of leasing are two
fold: First, it allows expenditures for capital outlays
to be smoothed out over a number of years versus large
expenditures in years when major items are purchased;
and, second leasing allows needed equipment to be
purchased now rather than waiting. The major
disadvantages of leasing is that it is a form of
indebtedness and interest is paid.
Scacial Tax Levies - Minnesota Statutes allow cities to
issue Capital Notes for the purchase of Public Safety and
Street Equipment. A special tax levy, which is not
subject to the property tax levy limitation laws, may be
levied to repay Capital Notea issued.
Minnesota Statutes also allow cities to establ.'sh an
Infrastructure Replacement Fund to finance replacement of
streets, roads, curbs, gutters, and storm sewers. The
city is allowed to levy outside of. the .levy limit to
finance replacement of infrastructure mentioned above.
A special levy outside of the levy limit is also allowed
for construction and maintenance of storm drainage
facilities. Projects financed by this levy must be
within a storm drainage district designated by the
Council and approved by the local watershed district.,

I. SUMMARY
The City of Mouno View propn:.,s to repair Branch 95
of Judicial Ditch $1 to its original cross section and grade
as a City project. Repair work will make the ditch :safer and ="
reduce the chances of a lawsuit claiming damages from R.C.W.D.
The City of Mounds View requests the following:
1. Approval to repair the ditch. i
2. Funding from R.C.W.D. for ditch repair. r_
II. BACKGROUND
Branch #5 of Judicial Ditch is approximately 3,300 feet
long (Attachment #1). The ditch flows from the storm sewer
outlet at 7807 Bona Road, Mounds View to Judicial Ditch #1 at
the intersection of Sherwood Road and Jackson Drive, Mounds
View. The ditch was constructed in 1964. The ditch was
constructed with a three (3) foot wide bottcm and side slopes
of two (2) foot horizontal to one (1) foot vertical. The ditch
depth varies from 3' to 5'.
5
Storm. water ircm the 9i1_view drainage basin. Flow through
this ditch. The tributary area is approximately 230 acres
and is 908 developed. The property in the drainage area is
zoned single family residential.
III. PROBLEM STATEMENT
In the 22 years since the ditch was constructed, some
small portions of the ditch have filled in completely with
sediment. In other words, in some areas, the ditch can not
be located.
Road culverts must be cleaned (by the City) every year so
the culverts do not plug. The cleaning is needed because the
bottom of the ditch on either side of the culverts has filled
in to an elavat•ion above the culvert.
The ditch is a safety hazard which could result in damages
to property or injuries to people. (Attachment #2, 3, 4, 5, & 6).
W
IV. PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is as follows:
1) Secure approval from R.C.W.D. to repair the
ditch to its original cross-section and grade.
(Application attached).
2) Secure Funding from R.C.W.D. to pay for a portion
of the ditch repair (Attachment V).
V. PROPOSED SOLUTION
The City of Mounds View proposes to repair Branch #5
of Judicial Ditch #1 to its original cross section and grade
as a City project. The City will be responsible for Engineering,
Bidding and inspecting the project.
Vm.+
VI. BENEFITS OF REPAIR
Repairing the ditch to its original cross section and grade
will reduce the possibility of damages to property and injuries
to people. The repair will reduce tht chances of a lawsuit
claiming damages from R.C.W.D. as a result of Inck of maintenance.
Repairing the ditch will improve the safety of the ditch.
VII. DOWN STREAM IMPACTS

will have no additional impact to property down stream than the
impact the original ditch had.

RE: JUDICIAL DITCH NO. 1 - BRANCH NO. 5
REPAIR TO ORIGINAL. CROSS SECTION AND PROFILE
CITY PROJECT NO. 86-6
Dear Mr. Cardinal:
We propose repairing Branch No. 5 of Judicial Ditch No. 1 to its
original cross section and profile as a City project (Attachment
No. 1). The repair work is needed because the ditch has filled in
such that storm sewer outlets do not drain and road culverts are
below the bottom of the ditch. If the ditch is not cleaned,
property damage may occur.
Under separate cover, i am-lbmitting plan sheets 14, 32, 33, and
'34 of 43 for this ditch preuared by Comstock and Davis, Inc. in
May, 1964. The proposed p1 ject will repair the ditch to its
original cross section and profile. Excess excavation will be
disposed of at an approved fill site.
The estimated construction cost of this project is $60,000. The
City of Mounds View can budget a maximum of $30,000 for this
project. The City does not want to utilize the petitioning
process or assess this project.
Is it appropriate to ask Rice Creek Watershed District to fund a
portion of this project? If yes, will you fund the rest of the
project?
If you have any questions or need additional information, please
feel free to call.

Dear Mr. Cardinal:
Residents have brought to the City's attention the
potential hazards relative to Judicial Ditch No. 1 and
Judicial Ditch No. 1, Branch 5.
The ditch, with its branches, runs through the City of
Mounds View .nd also extends into the City of Blaine
and Anoka County. It is my understanding and the City
Attorney': understanding that the ditch falls within
the jurisdiction of your Watershed District powers.
It is my belief that such conditions, while posing a
hazard to the public at the present time, could in fact
rosult in some injury or damages to certain citizens
within the. City. As a result: I am requesting, on
bohalr of the City of. Mounds View, that you take
whatever st.eps are necessary to remove these
pntential.ly hazardous conditions to ensure the safety
o" the citi.zens of Mounds View. It is my understanding
that this responsibility has been delegated to your
WAtot-shed District pursuant t:o Minne.,sota statute
Section 112.43, Subd. 3. If this Is not done, Rice
Creek Watp.vrhed District would he liable for injuries
or damages resulting from lack of ditch repair.
Therefore, the City of Mounds View cannot he held
liable for inurins or damages resulting rrom lack of
ditch repair.

Dear. Steve:
I have done a fair amount of research to respond to your question
regarding the Statutory Authority to alter or repair judicial ditch
nutnher I or any other ditches within the City of Mounds View. I believe
I have an answer to your question regarding the Statutory Authority and
I have also prepared a form letter which I would suggest only as a
guideline for you in preparing your letter to the Watershed District.
In my opinion the Rice Creel: Watershed District (which was formed in
1972) is responsible for the repair and upkeep of judicial ditch number
1. It is a,so ny opinion that the Watershed District is responsible for
any liability resulting from injuries paused by the lack of repair on
that ditch. llawever, there is no direct language within Minnesota
Statutes which impose such liability on the Watershed District and I
believe this responsibility is by implication drawn from the duties of
the Watershed District to maintain and alter ditches.
Minnesota Statute Section 112.42 provides that our Watershed District
w+.11 be com;x)sed of managers who will be elected to run the Watershed
District plan. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 11.2.43, these
managers have certain pavers and duties. I have enclosed a copy of tds
Statute for your information. Pursuant to Subd. 3 of that Statute, they
have the duty EM prher to clean, construct, repair, or alter ditches
within their jurisdiction. I believe pursuant to this Statute then the
Watershed District is responsible for the upkeep of judicial ditch
number 1.
The proper procedure would be to bring the problem with the ditch to the
attention of the managers and request that they make imprwamnts. They
in turn will request the County Board for the necessary funds to make
the improvements pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 473.03. If the
improvements are accepted, the cost of these improvemients will be
apportioned throughout the the County.
The attached letter as I indicated is only a guideline. Certainly there
is no special legal form that this letter has to take to be effective.
All that I would require fran a legal standpoint is that the letter
�J specifically state the problems that exist, the location of the problems
Attachment 45
Mr. Steven Thatcher
June 2, 1986
Page 2
within the City, and request that the Watershed District make the
improverents as quickly as possible. You should also be aware that if
ine improveiv"!rjt`s 1nVelve a bulx,tantial wovnt of cost, fiat a j. Ui
may have to be filed pursuant to Minneota Statute Section 112.47 which
is mentioned under Subd. 1 of Mirn. Stat. Sec. 112.43 enclosed. I do
not believe that the improvements which we are requesting will fall
within the requirerent to patiticn the board.
If you need any further help, or have any other questions in this
regaLd, Steve please call me.
Yours truly,
Mark A. Karney

unnecessary noise and nuisance, relative to the
conduct and noise that occurred during and after
the outdoor concert that was held there on
August 18. Mr. Michna presented the Council with a
petition signed by 41 residents of the area, agreeing
with his complaints. Mr. Michna explained the concert
got cut of hand, and was very overcrowded, and he
questioned whether the fire code has been checked and
brought up to date there. He stated he has been told
by someone working there that they had between 500 and
600 people in the building, and the very most their
capacity could be is 400. He added two off -duty
police officers were there but they were instructed
by Pat Conroy Jr, that they were to stay inside the
building and not concern themselves with the outside,
as his own bouncers were in charge of that.
Mr. Michna requested the Council have a meeting and
invite the neighbors to attend and voice their
concerns. lie also asked the Council to consider
requiring a special permit for all indoor or outdoor
concerts in the City, which would give them more
control over how things are run. Ile also asked that
Muldoon's be checked for complaince with their

liquor license and Sunday liquor license, and he would
like a street light placed on the utility pole located
on Edgewood between County Road H2 and Woodcrest.
Mr. Michna explained that the last time he was before
the Council with complaints on Muldoon's, he was told
by Mayor Linke that bringing in signatures would be
helpful. which is why he has presented the petition.
He also noted that no one declined to sign the petition
when he presented it to them.
Mayor Linke explained he had sat in on a meeting with
the Police Chief and Mr. Conroy, and Mr. Conroy has
agreed he will not have any more concerts.
Attornny Meyers reviewed what could happen in court,
whether Mr. Conroy pleads guilty, or asks for a jury
trial, and what the fines could be.
Councilmember Hankner stated she agrees with Mr. Michna's
suggestion that the City expiore a permitting process
for concerts. She added that the fact that Mr. Conroy
has agreed to not hold any further concerts doe^ not hold
water.
Mr. Michna further explained he was very frustrated while
filing his complaint with the Police, as they allowed the
noise and nuisance to continue at 2 AM, after issuing
the citation, by allowing those involved to continue load-
ing up their equipment and leave their truck running,
rather than having them finish it in the morning.
The Council told Mr. Michna they would take his comments
into consideration.
