CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW ATTEST: g}, —.�--- Mayor Clerk—Administrator_�- Owfier Subscribed and sworn to before me y da of 1988. this ���� Notary 0 071 SC55i or MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CITY PLANNER DATE: DECEMBER 29, 1988 SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE This memo is to serve as a brief summary of the Comprehensive Plan Update. More i,.,portartly, it points out specific policy issues addressed in the update. Chapter I. This chapter provides minimal background information on Mounds View to the reader. It also explains the three areas of concern which should be addressed by this update. 1. Community - wide Development Framework 2 Tr�mk Hiphwav 10 Corridor 3. Implementation including the revision of the City's regulatory measures. Chapter II_ Chapter II should update the reader as to the current conditions in Mounds View. Because this document is an update of the Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1980, the base information is not found in this document. ChaptezIII. This chapter attempts to explain the process used in developing the City issues and objectives. The first step in the process was ascertaining Mounds View assets and liabilities. After discussion of the assets and liabilities specific issues emerge. pages 3-5 and 3-6 list the issues and needs ranking. On the whole this list is important and each item should be reviewed by Council - members in order to ensure your agreement. These issues are the basis (or will be the basis) for future policy initiatives regarding City development. I have listed the 14 top ranked issues. These issues emerged as the more pressing concerns of the survey participants. this process. 1. The function of TH 10 needs to be determined, e.g. strip commercial corridor, community commercial district, highway service district, subregional commercial center, or residential district. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE TWO DECEMBER 29, 1988 2. Open space and wetland resources need to be identified and prot(!cted. 3. The ability to assemble land parcels for development needs to be established. 4. A physical or use transition between competing land uses needs to be established. 5. The TH 10 corridor needs to consider how it can establish continuity and compatibility of uses. 6. Landscaping policy guidelines and regulations are needed. 7. Determination of adequate parcel sizes to support compatible development is needed. B. Elimination of multiple, private access drives to TH 10 is needed. 9. An approach for utilizing odd shaped parcel fragments is needed. 10. Installation of physical landscaping - buffering between uses is required. 11. Determination and interpretation of the City's and corridor's image and identity is needed. 12. The ability of the road system to serve future d velopment needs to be examined. 13. The north -south community barrier effect of TH 10 needs to be reduced. 14. Neighborhood access to TH 1J retail and comniercia2 uses needs to be improved. Question to Councilmembers: Because these issues imply policy initiatives, do you feel comfortable with the above 14 statements. Are there any important issues missing from the list? MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL ® PAGE THREE �d7 DECEMBER 29, 1988. Pages 3-8 to 3-10 lists four goals taken from the Comprehensive Plan done in 1980. Are these four goals and their subparts still objectives the City hopes to achieve? In many instances there is overlap between the four stated goals and the issues identified during the update process. Existing Commercial Area Objectives: Goal 1: Commercial development oi,o.11 bF considered in order to provide a broad tax and expanded employment base within Mounds View. a. Continue to maintain and expand the City's commercial tax base to assist in paying for needed services and in reducing tax impact on housing costs. b. Cooperate with commercial developers to insure that commercial development is a community asset and meets the standards established by the City. c. Identify commercial activities complimentary to existing activities and promote and facilitate the development of such commercial activities within Mounds View. Goal 2: Provide safe, convenient, attractive and accessible commercial development within Mounds View. a.

Commercial development shall Le based upon the concept of a compact, integrated business canter developed according to a specific site plan. c. Insure that all service and commercial uses are adequately screened and buffered from any adjacent residential developments. tMIJ d. Insure that all service and commercial uses are adequately screened and buffered from any adjacent residential developments. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE FOUR DECEMBER 29, 1988 e. Buffers such as screen plantings, fences, and public and semi-public use areas wi11 be provided to eliminate conflicts between commercial activities and adjacent residential development. f. The location of commercial uses shall take into consideration the neighborhood, land use, and circulation pattern. g. Access to all major commercial centers will be designed to facilitate traffic f,-.. -long --'-- ch----'- Of -- ___^• h. Support pedestrian and transit access to major service and commercial centers. i. Safe and convenient pedestrian movements shall be provied within major service and commercial centers. j. When possible or when opportunities arise, provide for major streets to service 5, commercial districts at the periphery of the districts. k. The City shall cooperate with existing and potential commercial developers in creating site plans with emphasis on efficient access and egress, parking areas, landscaping and adherence to an architectural theme. 1. Enact and uniformly enforce a commercial/ industrial maintenance code to help insure that commercial and industrial structures represent community attributes on an on- going basis. m. Commercial development shall be prohibited on wetlands, shorelands, flood plains, and other natural features that perform important public protection functions in their natural state. Goal 3: Major retail sales and services will be developed in planned and concentrated centers. a. Commercial development must adequately provide for excess storm water. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE FIVE ® DECEMBER 29, 1988 b. No area shall be rezon3d to commercial use unless it is shown to be properly located in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. C. Land which is adjacent to a major thoroughfare shall not automatically be considered best suited for commercial use. d. Major commercial activiry du. „ w_ concentrated with the City Centerc Goal 4: The development of small neiaiiborhood convenience stores will be limited to locations that will best serve residential areas without impairing residential development. a. Excellence of design and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhoods shall be encouraged in the development of neighborhood commercial facilities. �s b. Promote joint utilization of parking and other related supportive services in service and commercial districts. C. Residential neighborhoods shall have easy access to related, but limited supportive service and commercial facilities, where feasible. As in previous studies, the following three Objectives were again rejected in the update: 1. Phasing out residential uses within 300 feet of T.H. 10. 2. Minimizing multi. -family housing within 300 feet of T.H. 10. 3. Phasing out residential uses in the T.H. 10 corridor over time. Does the Council also reject these statements or would you like them incorporated into the City's development goals? ® Chapter IV. This Chapter deals with issues on a City-wide scale as compared to Chapter 5, Trunk Highway 10 Corridor Plan. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE SIX DECEMBER 29, 1998 policy Implications: 1, The City has open space resources, both in parks and wetlands, which it should preserve. Enhancement of these areas and increased aesthetic appeal throughout the City may be created by linking these two resoutces. Creation of a network of pathways and recreation areas may be a potential resolution of this idea. 2. The existing development pattern is established within the City. The _s:n;nn development opportunities are available along the Highway lU corridor. The Council has the opportunity to set policy to structure this development. 3. The Council must reconcile the differences in the adopted Comprehensive ?lan designa- tion and zoning designation of many in, This is the properties along L"y.—a}' reoccurring discussion of residential versus commercial development along ; Highway 10• Also in question is the type 4, of commercial development. 4. If the Comprehensive Plan is revised to allow for commercial development along Highway 10, the only opportunity for additional housing will be in -fill. If in -filling is the direction in whichthe Council would like to go, a moes- re agy sive in -fill program may need to be formulated. 5. Development regulations, if modified, can mitigate the negative effects of in development. icts That opportunity is not available for existing development. The Council must decide the level of the Citv's involvement in this issue. to ome Chapter V• the hismupdateost 9isfwhattdoes sthe nCity cwant ftomdo with Highway 10? Are we to continue in the same manner as in the past; a mix of residen- tial and commercial uses dictated by market forces; or should the City become more influencial in Highway 10's development and MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE SEVEN DECEMBER 29, 1988 and emphasize one policy framework, whether that be commercial or residential? Additionally, should the corridor be treated the same along its entire length or should it be segmented dependant upon existing circumstances? Pages 5-5 and 5-6 list development framework guidelines. These guidelines are concepts that City could adopt to assist in beautifying Fig? -way 10 and proviap for an identity of Mounds View. In my opinion, none of the guidelines should be controversial. The guidelines can be phased in over time to a greater or lesser degree depending upon the resources of the City and property owners adjacent to Highway 10. Mounds View Trunk Highway 10 Deveiopmei,t Framework Guidelines: 1. T.H. 10 should function as the City's main street and project a positive and identifiable jMMS for Mounds View. 2. To achieve that image and identity, major gateways physically marking the entrances to the community should be established at the east and west entrances of T.H. 10. 3. Landscape, signing, and building material guidelines should be established for the areas adjacent to and part of the corridor. 4. The corridor should be segmented into identifiable management and use districts with appropriate regulations aid invest- ments to reinforce the differing but coordinated districtir.g. 5. Landsca a ar,d li kiting harmony should be ac:ieved over time with a coordinated program of public investments in the right-of-way and private investment adjacent as development or redevelopment ocGOrs. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE EIGHT DECE.MBER 29, 1988 Private access for individual lots to T.H. 10 should be eliminated or consolidated over time two Perm t each parcel to protect the capacity of the corridor and improve the arrangement of abutting uses. Land aarrce�ls, whether residential, commercial or industrial, need to be of sufficient ... si_e to relate appropriate yVto .H. 10, traffic circulation consideration, building siting and relationship to abutting residential reighborboods. 8. Comprehensives and z_ °gig °rdinance implementation mechanisms should be compatible and coordinated. 9. The City will need to address its role in achieving redevelopment considering a range of actions from regulation to encou-agement to establishing an organizational and financing framework. ish a 10. for discussing land City will need tuse sandlforum zoning changes with affected property owners as plan implementation is considered and initiated. Such a `_orum could eliminate misunderstanding and concerns about piecemeal downzoning or affecting, in a negative sense, property value. 11. The City also should consider organizing some coordinated organizational structure for the entire corridor or each of the districts within the corridor. 12. A landscape buffer should be created by regulation or public action to protect adjacent uses from each other. It may be possib,e to utilize this buffer as a part of the overall pathway system. ing 13 The themCitylandal dtherictcorridornshouLdframework of defined as follows: r MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE NINE DECEMBER 29, 1988 a. Neighborhood Commercial District u. Cunvenience Commercidi Centers c. Highway Commercial District d. Community Commercial District Perhaps of greater importance is the concept of the four development districts. These allow for the continued growth of these areas by emphasizing the type of development which is to occur in each. District 4, the northern end of Highway 10, is not as easily defined as Lire others because of past conflicting City policies. The four districts are as follows: 1. Highway Commercial Hospitality District 2. Office Serivice Park District 3. Community Center District 4. West End District Options for the West End District may include: 1. A mix of single and multiple family as previously directed in the 1980 Comprehensive Plan. 2. Protect the existing residential but in -fill with neighborhood oriented commercial. 3. Develop a highway oriented business district which would elongate District 3 to the City's western edge. 4. Develop a community commercial node within the district but buffer area to surrounding residential. Chapter VI. Chapter 6 deals with the implementation strategies for achieving the guidelines which would be adopted by the Council. Assumedly, the level of investment by the City will determine the success of achieving the City's development goals. This would seem most true in the West End District where there are substantial barriers to good development. (014 The following five actions would seem to be the minimum action needed attain some of the City's development goals. These items could be done with minimal expenditures by the City. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE TEN DECEMBER 29, 1988 1. Adopt a clear set of development guidelines as to preferred uses and development standards. Exact boundaries of development parcels can be worked out in conjunction with property owners over time. 2. If possible, outline what actions the City could consider participating ^infor qualifying aevelopmeut rropo....__a. particularly with respect to property acquisition and development financing assistance. 3. Review and adopt zoning regulation amendments directed toward achieving the corridor development objectives. 4. Initiate a forum to test property owner willingness to establish a T.H. 10 management and promotion organization. 5. Initiate a landscape design improvevent ; program for T.H. 10 and community entrances. The City's involvement in shaping develop:aent can of course go much farf:her than this. The City may set up financing mechanisms to promote selected development or purchase land itself. The methods to achieving the development goals of the City will need to be addressed by the Council.

These specifications also outline the roles and responsibilities of the collection company (the "City Contractor") hired by the City or its subcontractors (the "City") and the operator ("Super Cycle") of the Ramsey County Recycling Center (the "Recycling Center"). Curbside collection activities funded by the County under contracts with a City are required to deliver to the Recycling Carter all of the glass and metals which are collected under said contract. The glass and metal required to be delivered is defined to include glass containers (green, brown and clear) and the following metals: aluminum cans and foil, bi-metal beverage cans, and tin-plated food cans. The following materials cannot be delivered to the Recycling Center except by mutual agreement by the City, the City Contractor, Super Cycle, and the County; newspaper, cardboard, waste oil, car batteries, and other materials not otherwise specified. Note that where Super Cycle is also the City Contractor, no such agreement is necessary. �- Materials shall be delivered to the Recycling Center between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for the following holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Upon both arriving at and leaving from the Recycling Center for the purpose of delivering materials, the City Contractor's vehicle shall be weighed on the truck scale at the Recycling Center. The truck scale can be operated only by a Super Cycle employee. If no e-:ployee of Super Cycle is present in the area of the truck scale or scale roor.., the City Contractor nust seek out and notify an employee of his/her need to be weighed. Super Cycle must complete the weighing within ten minutes of being notified. Super Cycle must provide the City Contractor with legible copies of both truck scale tickets and keep at least one copy of each ticket for their own records, marking it with the name of the City Contractor. Super Cycle shall not charge the City Contractor for weighings connected to mandatory deliveries. Under no circumstances shall the City Contractor honk their vehicle's horn to notify Super Cycle of the need to be weighed or for any other reason except emergency actions to warn pedestrians or other drivers of their presence. The City Contractor shall not create disturbances of any kind, nor shall they block ingress or egress for any part of the Recycling Center including adjacent It public roadways. 6 Materials must be delivered in a separated condition. All three colors of glass must be separated from each other and from the metals. The metals may be combined with each other. Cross - contamination of any one of the four materials by the other materials must be less than an aggregate amount of 10% by weight. For example, green glass may be contaminated by a maximum of 10% of brown glass, clear glass and metals taken together. Any one material must contain.less than 5% by weight of foreign contaminants. Foreign contaminants include paper, garbage, and materials not normally processed by the Recycling Center (window glass, etc.). At Super Cycle's option, loads which exceed the cross -contamination or foreign contamination specifications may be cleaned up by the City Contractor or may be rejected altogether. Also at Super Cycle's oytior„ this clean-up may take place at the Recycling Center, or the City Contractor may have to take the load elsewhere for cleai.inq and t`.en bring the materials back. Super Cycle shall notify a County solid waste staff person es snon as possible of any incidents concerning deliveries of contaminated or oLf-specification loads. The City Contractor shall deliver materials in such a manner that they may be unloaded using a forklift with standard attachments or by dumping into bins which are approximately 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 4 feet long. The City Contractor shall unload only where directed to do so by Super Cycle. Where assistance from Super Cycle employees is necessary (such as for operating a forklift or arranging bins), Super Cycle shall give assistance in a timely fashion and complete the unloading the same day as long as the City Contractor arrives at the Recycling Center by 6:00 p.m. In giving assistance, Super Cycle shall take the City Contractor's vehicles on a first -come, first -serve basis and treat those vehicles on an equal basis ds Super Cycl-a's own vehicles. Total time for unloading cannot be specified as it is dependent on the amount of materials and manner in which they are delivered, but unloading time shall be kept within reasonable bounds by Super Cycle unless there are circumstances be_:ond their control. Conversely, City Contractors shall not ling_r T unnecessarily at the Recycling Center, n^ r shall they enter a::e=s of the property without just cause. The mandatory delivery requirement r,.ey be temporarily or permanently suspended upon mutual agreement by the City, the City Contractor, Super Cycle, and the County (through the Director of the Public Health Department). WORK PLAN FOP. MOUNDS VIEW RECYCLING PROGRAM - 1989 The City will be targeting the same number of households in the 89 program as in 1988. This is estimated at 4446 households. There will be once -a -month pick up in Sanuary, February and March. Starting in April the City will be going to twice a month pick up. We are also targeting April to begin multi -unit (buildings over 17 dwelling units) recycling in April. Items for pick up will be glass, cardboard, paper and metal both aluminum and tin in conformance with County requirements. Public education costs will go toward developing a mailing which will notify the City residents of the change to twice a month pick up. Administrative costs will be reimbursed for the City's recycling coordinators tine. The City will continue its efforts to look into organized collection, available finding sources for recycling, and the expansion of its recycling program with the use of containers. ® The actual Attachment A could use the following format: 1989 BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW Description of program and budgetr 1.

Currently, air conditioners have only been allowed in the back yard of a residence. This ordinance would allow for air conditioners in the back and side vards along with recreational vehicles and equipment, laundry drying equipment, arbors and trellises, and breezeways. The accessory uses cannot be placed in a side yard when it abutts e. public street. The ordinance aluo requires that all recreational vehicles and equipment be parked five feet from the side lot line. This requirement was added because of a citizen's complaint received this summer. Apparently, the resident's neighbor had bten parking his RV on his lot line and exhaust fumes were going into the resident's home. During investigation of this issue, I had found that the Police Department is not in favor of this change. Concern was expressed over the enforcement of this ordinance and also the concern over selected enforcement. I would like to discuss this issue with the Council at the meeting.

ATTEST: Mayor (SEAL) Clerk -Administrator APPROVED AS TO FORM: City Attorney 3kz� 1 qT-rAo- S(255,on MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Public Works Foreman Ulrich /� Azz/ DATE: December 14, 1988 SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL RIM FOR CAT LOADER With the use of our new loader for snow plowing it is imperative that we purchase a spare tire in the event of a blowout or a tire being cut during the snow removal operations. If this type of mishap would occur, the probable down time and emergency repair call could closely offset the initial cost of this spare. Durine the summer we were renting a loader from C. W. Houle Construction and cut a tire during the excavation of Oakwood and Greenfield Parks. This occurred around mid -morning; by the time we were back in operation it was early afternoon. I would like to remind you that this was during normal working hours. By purchasing a spare tire, thus being prepared for an unforeseen flat tire, we could in all probability be back in operation within an hour. Prices are as follows: 1 New Wheel Rim 1 Rim Flange i 1 Ring Lock Total Wheel 1 20.5 x 25 Michelin Tire Mounting y TOTAL 1,160.00 124.00 14.80 $$ 1,298-0 $ 1,032.81 25.00 Q 7,356.61 I am recommending this purchase be made after January 1, 1989 and to use in the Caoitol Equipment Account (1700-4121-703) for the purchase of the spare wheel. MU/BAC A MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL 011 j ;A r�A�end4 SesS� orb FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR DATE: DECEMBER 28, 198s SUBJECT: DRAFT RAMSEY COUNTY CHARTER On December. 23rd you each received copies of the Draft Charter for Ramsey County which was submitted to us at my request. This Draft reflects the current status of the development of a charter for Ramsey County and I felt it would be appropriate for us to take the time to review the charter and make any comments that the Council felt might be appropriate. In preparation for a discussion of the Draft Charter, I would like to review those areas that I have identified as areas of possible concern that you might wish to address and mane comnent on to the Ramsey County Charter Commission. Those areas are as follows: I. Section 2.01, B. provides that all members 02 the Ramsey County Board Of Commissioners will be elected every four years with no staggering of their terms. I have two thoughts with respect to this provision. The first is that the lack of staggering Of terms of commissioners ignores the need for continuity on the County Board. The second is in response to an argument placed by the Charter Commission in the Draft Charter that voters could affect quicker change by making a big switch in commissioners all at once. This seems to ignore the later provision in the Draft Charter that the voters have recall authority and could affect the same change by recalling those members whose terms have not expired. 2. Section 5.02, D. provides that approval or amendment Of the Civil Service Rules is by resolution and that such approval or amendment shall receive two readings prior to its adoption. It would strike me that the County's Civil. Service Rules would "best be adopted by ordinance, particularly considering the significance of the rules on county personnel. 3. Section 5.04 requires that after the introduction of an ordinance at least two additional separate readings of the ordinance must occur before its adoption and that the proposed ordinance must be available for public inspection in the form in which it is to be adopted at least one week before adoption. My first thought is that unless it is adopted how can anyone be certain of what the final 41 form of an O-�in.nce is to be? The provision of two 14AYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PACE TWO DECEMBER 28, 1988 ri separate readings after the introduction would result in three readings of an ordinance before its adoption which strikes me as being unnecessarily bureaucratic. I would suggest that it have one reading at its introduction and a second reading prior to its adnnrinn at lcaa first reading. If the ts ordinance �isMnot sadopted after lat its second reading it could be adopted at a later date at the discretion of the Commission. 4. Section 10.02, A. has a redundancy that needs to be corrected. Section 3.0.03, E. (1) - This paragraph is extremely confusing in its current language and needs to be clarified or rewritten. On Tuesday, December 27th I received a letter from the County Executive Director's Office inviting all Ramsey County City Managers to a meeting of the Charter Commission on the morning of Tuesday, January 3rd to discuss with the Commission the issue of "County -wide Planning". The letter did not contain any details regarding the issue to be discussed so I am somewhat unclear as to what the plans of r- the Charter Commission are with respect to County -wide Planning. I will be attending this meeting and advising you of what discussions occur at your meeting on the evening of January 3rd in order that you may respond to this issue as well.

Approval of November 28, 1988 minutes as presented. Minutes: November 28, 5 aves 0 nays 1988 Motion Carried Dennis Deissner, of Kraus Anderson Realty Ccipany, 5. Residents presented the Council with an application tr rezone Reouests and the Silver View Plaza from B-2 to B-3. He explained Comments from they have` been before the Council many time before the Floor for conditional use permits for various businesses that have located in the plaza, and Lhey fuel B-3 is a more appropriate zoning for the businesses there. Public Works Director Minetor joined the meeting at 7:04 PM. M::. Deissner explained they have a potential tenant for the plaza, the Twin Cities Harley Davidson distributorship, who would use 5,415 square feet of showroom. They would be selling clothing and accessories, and having a showroom only for motor- cycles, but the motorcycles would be physically kept for pickup at their Shakopee facility, and all repair work would also be done in Shakopee. Mounds View City Council December 12, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Two Mr. Deissner stated he understands this is a gray area of the Code, whether the use would be appropriate to 5-2 or B-3, and while they would restrict the tenant to the requirements of B-2, they would also like to apply for rezoning to B-3 to eliminate any potential problems. He added the dealership cannot iiait for the approval process and if they must go through normal procedures, they will go elsewhere. Mayor Linke explained he works with Mr. Deissner on a day to day basis at Kraus Anderson, so he would be backino away from the disnni;sinns at this time. Clerk/Administrator Pauley advised they have indi- cated to Kraus Anderson Development and Realty that the City has a zoning code that is common to most municipalities, in that if a use is not listed, it is prohibited. He referred to Chapter 40.17 of the City Code, and explained that ncne of the uses for this type of business are listed there, under B-2 zoning, but they are included in Chapter 40.18 (B) 7, which is B-3. Thus, it is Staff's position that the Code does riot allow this use in B-2 and he would recommend that Kraus Anderson request a rezoning of the entire project, which would take 60-120 days. He added that Staff recomme++ds no waiver be given, as even on a temporary basis, it would weaken the zoning code. He has consulted with both of the City's attorneys, and they concur with Staff. Councilmember Hankner stated she could not find anything in tho Code that would allow for this to be permitted and she read from various sections of the Code. She added it would be prohibited under B-2 zoning. Mr. Deissner pointed out that half the tenants in the plaza were not listed uses to start with. Councilmember Hankner explained they were allowed in after the appropriate changes were made to the zoning code. Mr. Deissner stated they d6 not have ',Ame for that process. He added there would be a benefit to the City of having this new tenant come in. Councilmember Wuori stated the Council could look at changing the zoning to B-3, and have staff give them a report at the next agenda session, at which time they could discuss it. She stated that until that time, not m•.+ch could be done. Mounds View City Council December 12, 1988 hegular Meeting Page Three Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the request for rezoning must be submitted to the Planning Commission, and after they have dealt with it, it would then go to the Council. He added the Council could discuss it at the same time as the Planning Commission, but they would still have to follow the s::ep by step process of the zoning code. Mr. Dei.ssner asked how the Council felt about B-3 zoning for that area. Councilmember Hankner replied that while they could give individual opinions, they would have to go through the public hearing process and gather input from all sources. Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the first public heraing at 7:16 PM. Park Director Saarion explained Minnesota will be hosting the summer olympic festival games in 1990, and the State of Minnesota is trying to promote projects that would provide an opportunity for the dities and metropolitan areas to complete projects to spruce up their communities. Minnesota has $700,000 for grant money to be awarded to various projects, and the purpose of the public heating is to choose a project and get the grant application filled out. Letters were sent out to schools, churches and civic groups, and 14 sub- missions were received back, which the Council has narrowed to 4. Park Director Saarion reviewed the four proposals, listing the material costs, community involvement, equipment rates, the City's contribution, and the proposed celebration to go with each one. Mayas• Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 7:29 PM. It was the concensus of the Council that they would like to go with the proposal for construction of a picnic shelter at Silver View Park.

Dan Rooney introduced himself as the real estate representative of Public Storage,Inc. and explained they are the largest self storage company in America. He presented an overhead map of the area, au artists sketch of the proposed facility, and a zoning map of the City. Don Jensen, o° Public Storage, Inc. reviewed their request to c.,:.Struct a self storage facility, two story home for the resident manager, and an office building. He explained they have under five acres, which necessitates the var:ianre request within the PUD request. He stated that with the road vacation they would ha-ie 4.1 acres available, and he asked for approval of the variance request, stating that they feel their project would be an asset to the City. He explained their project would be permanent. Mayor Linke asked for an update on the suggestion given to the developer at the last agenda session, to purchase the .9 acre, which would resolve most of the problems. Mr. Jensen replied that the opportunity is present to accomodate the 5 acre minimum, with their plan to vacate the Mounds View Drive waterworks easement, and they would be willing to purcnase additional property. Mayor Linke stated the biggest issue is a variance to the PUD, and a major hurdle would be solved if they did not have to go through the variance process. Torr Wistrom, of Kraus Anderson, explained he had had a conversation with the land owner to the north about purchasing the needed .9 acres, but the price does not appear to be feasible. Motion Carried Motion Carried Public Hearing: Variance Appeal for Public Storage, Inc. i Mounds View City Council December 12, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Five Dale Jones identified hinself as the owner of the property to the north. He stated he does not object to the project but he does object to the vacation of Mounds View Drive, as that would cut access to his property and lower the value. He added he plans to develop his land at some point and wants to use the access to it. Mr. Wistrom stated they have a difference of opinion on the roadway, and that roadway was meant to serve this project only, and not Mr. Jone's land. He added this development would be a benefit to the City now, and Mr. Jones is not ready to develop his orooerty at this time. City Planner Herman clarified that Mr. Jcnes is the owner of the property known as the St. Paul waterworks. Mr. Jones reported he had spoken with the waterworks and a bridge would not be required to be built over the easement, and he again stated he did not want to lose access to his property. Mayor L_'I-e clarif,*.ed that the issue before the Council is an appeal by the applicant of the denial by the Planning Commission for a variance request I,r for a 5 acre PUD down to 4.1 acres. Mr. Jensen stated there is a substantial hardship in the public storage business with the requirement for separate zoning for each building. Mayor Linke pointed out there would also be a pro- blem with the resident manager living on the property. City Planner Herman explained the applicant has requested a variance from she minimum project size. The PUD zoning and appropriateness of B-2 zoning was discussed atthe Planning Commission level, and the Planning Commission felt they should act on the variance request, as without it, the project would not be able to go through. She added there was discussion about the appropriateness of zoning for this type of use. City Planner Herman briefly reviewed the Planning Commission's Re.;olution No. 238-88, stating there were no extraordinary circumstances to apply to this project, and the applicant did not present any reasons to show it was exceptional or extra- ordinary. She also pointed out they would have had the required 5 acres if the owner had not sold off a portio:, of this property to Burger King. She also reviewed the criteria for granting a variance and stated the Planning Commission did not feel all Mounds View City Council December 121 1988 Regular Meeting Page Six that criteria was met for granting a variance. r Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 8:15.

She also pointed out they would not even have the 4.1 acres until after the road was vacated, if it io vacated. Mayor Linke stated it would be a good development once they have the additional .9 acre. He stated he did not have a problem vacating the road, specifi- cally because the road would have to cross a wet- land. It was the concensus of the Council to deny the appeal for the variance. Motion/Second: Quick/Wuo=i to direct Staff to draw up a resolution denying the variance appeal retluest for Public Storage, Inc., Silver Lake Woods, Lot 1, Block 9 and a portion of Lot 1, Block 10. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Clerk/Administrator Pauley read the items on the 9.
