12 6 . MISCELLANEOUS
13
14 A. Utility Buildings
15
16 A memo from Urbia stated that information regarding sheds and
17 utility buildings is found in five sections of the City Code .
18 He recommended these sections be referred to regarding
19 definitions for accessory uses of utility buildings .
20
21 Commissioner Madden noted he has not reviewed the sections
22 recommended by Urbia for reviewal . He had concerns with the
23 allowable size of these buildings . He also was concerned with
24 specific setback requirements when rear yards face a city
25 street . He felt it would be worth looking at to see if
26 different setback requirements should apply.
27 •28 Chair Faust noted this type of situation could be a real
29 eyesore. He said there is a potential for this on 37th Avenue
30 where some yards face that avenue and on Edgemere as well .
31
32 The Chair directed Urbia to pursue information on this item
33 and see how it is currently being handled . He requested this
34 information be presented to the Planning Commission at its
35 next regular meeting.
36
37 Urbia suggested there may be concerns regarding the materials
38 used to build utility buildings .
39
40 Chair Faust inquired if the Uniform Building Code is used as
41 a guide by Larry Hamer , the Public Works Director . Urbia
42 responded that this is the case but pre-fab buildings may be
43 approved in some instances .
44
45 Urbia noted also that some pre-fab buildings could be put up
46 without staff knowledge . Commissioner Gondorchin inquired what
47 action would be taken if this situation occurred . Urbia
48 responded that the property owner could be required to get a
49 permit . Removal of the structure was unlikely but a foundation
50 may be required.

6 Currently , a cement slab or treated wood base is required so
7 that the bottom of a utility building does not decay -
s
9 Dimensional regulations are covered in the zoning ordinance .
10 Maintenance of these structures is covered in the recently
11 adopted Housing Maintenance Ordinance .
12
13 Another example of this type of structure could be a large
14 garage which was a possibility noted by Chair Faust .
i5 Commissioner Madden cited a second garage located on property
16 on Chandler Drive . He recalled that the Planning Commission
17 had recommended denial of the permit for this garage but the
18 City Council gave its approval .
19
20
21 7 . STAFF UPDATE
22
23 A. Sign Amortization
24
25 Some members of the City Council did not feel the matter of
26 sign amortization was necessary for inclusion on the sign
41 ordinance nor were further restrictions regarding business
signs .
29
30 Urbia advised that the owners of Northgate were sent a letter
31 advising them of their sign non-compliance. They will be
32 requesting a variance in late April . This will be treated as
33 a variance request as the building is not facing two streets .
34 The first sign request was approved as a variance .
35
36 Urbia advised that the owners were very cooperative.
37
38 B. Directional/Informational Signs
39
40 Commissioner Franzese directed the Commission members '
41 attention to page 7 of the February 23rd Council meeting
42 minutes . They read as follows , " The City Manager advised that
43 these types of signs , directional and informational , are not
44 defined in the sign ordinance nor are these types of signs
45 controlled. " She questioned what was considered directional
46 and informational .
47
48 Urbia advised that approximately 30 letters went to properties
49 in the City advising them of their non-conforming signs . Among
50 the signs which were viewed as non-compliant was the DARE
•

6 sign at Wilshire Elementary School .
7
8 Commissioner Madden inquired if other commissioners felt the
9 phrase "Conoco - Hottest Brand Going" was informational . He
10 stated that staff views it as informational .
11
12 Urbia gave some examples of non-defined signs such as those
13 which are placed on top of gas pumps or those which indicate
14 whether a car wash is open for business .
15
16 Commissioner Madden stated he agrees with Commissioner
17 Franzese with regard to her statements made at the February
18 9th Council Meeting . Commissioner Franzese stated she views
19 the sign ordinance as an enabling document and that some types
20 of new signs have not been addressed in it . She also stated
21 that she views the dimension of staff " flexibility" as a ruse
22 and a subversion of the intent of the ordinance .
23
24 Commissioner Madden gave some examples of signs he views as
25 advertising rather than informational ; among them were the
26 signs which read, "hot dogs, " "Conoco" and "Holds all of the •
27 cards . "
28
29 He felt the new sign ordinance was very clear in defining
30 advertising although there are some signs being allowed by
31 staff which convey information but he felt are actually
32 advertising.
33
34 With the new sign ordinance and the new comprehensive sign
35 plan, Commissioner Madden felt the City should "get its ducks
36 in a row. "
37
38 Commissioner Franzese corrected the interpretation of what is
39 a "ruse and a subversion" as made by Commissioner Madden . She
40 advised these comments referred to two signs placed on one
41 side of a building with both signs facing the same street . She
42 was not referring to informatinal nor advertising signs as
43 stated by Commissioner Madden .
44
45 Commissioner Franzese had observed that at the February 9th
46 Council Meeting, the City Manager advised that such signs as
47 directional or informational are not addressed in the sign
48 ordinance as staff feels these situations should be addressed
49 without having to amend the sign ordinance in each instance .

6 Commissioner Franzese also referred to comments made by
7 Councilmember Fleming at the February 9th Council Meeting
8 regarding a review of the sign ordinance by local business
9 persons . Councilmember Fleming reported that the two business
10 persons she contacted found the sign ordinance a legal maze
11 and difficult to follow.
12
13 The Commissioner felt these comments were unfortunate as it
14 was thought that the City had a very comprehensive ordinance.
15 She requested that these two business persons be identified .
16 She also felt that the DARE sign should have remained in
17 place . Urbia advised that the letter of non-compliance was
18 sent to the school as the sign had been up more than thirty
19 days not because it was not approved . He felt that staff
20 flexibility allowed for it not being removed .
21
22 Chair Faust restated his request for staff to gather
23 information and definitions relative to directional and
24 informational signs . He felt the term " informational " was
25 generic and not specific .
26
it Commissioner Murphy noted that many signs which are viewed as
non-compliant are temporary. He inquired as to what is
29 contained in the ordinance regarding temporary signs .
30
31 Chair Faust read that section in the ordinance which addressed
32 temporary, commercial signs . He noted that service station
33 pump signs are not mentioned . Commissioner Madden felt the
34 pump signs looked rather permanent to him. He also requested
35 the definition of directional signs in the ordinance .
36
37 Urbia advised that directional signs are defined but are not
38 enabled or referenced in the ordinance .
39
40 Commissioner Madden stated he feels directional signs are not
41 a problem. He is of the opinion that the informational signs
42 introduced by staff are the problem.
43
44 Urbia advised that the City Manager is of the opinion that St .
45 Anthony has a tough sign ordinance . Staff is leaning toward
46 allowing signs which are informational and contain
47 advertising. This is being handled by the . City ' s Zoning
48 Administrator .

6 Commissioner Murphy suggested that staff should be making the
7 ordinance user-friendly as it appears not to be designed for
8 the business community . He felt. staff should recommend the
9 ordinance be modified or thev should be directed to enforce
l0 what is presently on the books .
it
12 Commissioner Madden felt that the comprehensive sign ordinance
13 was totally ignored and swept under the rug regarding the
14 signage at Stop-N-Shop .
15
16 Commissioner Murphy inquired what procedure is followed by
17 staff when a sign request is received which is not covered by
18 the sign ordinance . Urbia responded that the Zoning
19 Administrator decides and interprets the ordinance .
20
21. Commissioner Murphy felt the intent of the Planning Commission
22 regarding this matter was to avoid a rubber stamping approval
23 of signs not addressed in the ordinance . He feels this needs
24 more interpretation and enforcement .
25
26 Urbia noted that the City Manager is responding to direction •
27 from the City Council . Commissioner Murphy suggested that the
28 City Council has a different philosophy than the Planning
29 Commission on this matter .
30
31 Chair Faust requested that the Zoning Administrator attend a
32 Planning Commission Meeting to discuss the City Council
33 philosophy regarding the sign ordinance and the definition of
34 new terms in the ordinance.
35
36 C. Parking Ordinance
37
38 Chair Faust inquired if there is anything new to report on the
39 parking ordinance . Urbia responded as far as he knows there is
40 nothing new.
41
42 Commissioner Franzese advised that at the March 2nd Council
43 work session the City Manager requested the City Council to
44 discuss any further feelings towards the proposed parking
45 ordinance . The Council did not feel an ordinance would be
46 appropriate as the problem has addressed itself , probably from
47 further awareness by exposure in the media .
48
49 Commissioner Gondorchin took exception to this conclusion and
50 feels the ordinance should be further explored.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
MARCH 16 , 1993

5 Commissioner Franzese requested that the City Manager clarify
6 the statement that the Planning Commission had observed that
7 the situation has taken care of itself and that most blatant.
8 examples of parking violations have d.isappeared . She felt a
9 more accurate statement would have been that the City Manager
i0 had advised the Planning Commission that most of the problems
11 have taken care of themselves .
12
13 Commissioner Murphy recalled that this matter had been tabled
14 by the Planning Commission until the results of a community
15 survey were available.
16
17 Urbia advised that the survey concentrated on the future needs
18 of a community center and some other issues but did not
19 include anything on a parking ordinance . He noted that if a
20 second survey had been commissioned it may have included
21 questions regarding a parking ordinance . At this point in
22 time, a second survey has not been approved .
23
24 Chair Faust felt it would be fruitless to move forward on this
25 matter without City Council direction . He suggested it is a
26 dead issue .
0 Commissioner Franzese felt the impetus to back off this issue
29 came from the City Council to the City Manager .
30
31 8 . COMMISSIONERS ' COMMENTS
32
33 A. Commissioner Thompson
34
35 Commissioner Thompson inquired as to the status of the
36 dentists ' office project on Silver Lake Road. Urbia. advised
37 that the requested variance was not granted. Other
38 arrangements have been made to move the dumpster to a less
39 conspicious location.
40
41 B. Commissioner Franzese
42
43 Commissioner Franzese stated she will be unable to attend the
44 tour of the Hennepin County garbage burner facility.
45
46 She also inquired if the City ' s Planning Commission could join
47 the Minnesota Planning Agency . Urbia. stated that the City is
48 presently experiencing a tight budget . He suggested that
49 perhaps a staff member could join rather than the entire
50 Commission .

a
9 Commissioner Franzese requested staff to inquire if there is
10 a group rate available . She feels the organization has very
ii good information available and hosts very beneficial planning
12 sessions , seminars , etc .
13
14 Urbia will get information regarding costs for a group as well
i5 as individual member costs . Chair Faust suggested that perhaps
16 individual members of the Planning Commission could attend
17 some of the functions on a rotating basis .
i8
i9 Commissioner Franzese feels the Planning Commission needs some
20 type of continuing education . Having some experts brought in
21 to speak to the Planning Commission should be considered .
22
23 Commissioner Franzese inquired as to the status of the CUB
24 store and any information on the Community Center . She also
25 inquired what was available regarding water problems in Silver
26 Lake .
27 •
28 Urbia reponded that there is limited new information on these
29 matters . The Silver Lake Homeowners ' Association have
30 submitted a petition to the Rice Creek Watershed District
31 which reflects their concern for the Lake ' s water quality.
32
33 Commissioner Franzese stated that the Silver Lake Homeowners '
34 Association feels very strongly that Apache Plaza is a major
35 pollutor of the Lake and that the CUB project should not go
36 ahead without this issue being addressed .
37
38 Chair Faust feels there are two issues which are of concern
39 regarding Silver' Lake, those being phosphates and trash . He is
40 confident that the owners of Apache Plaza are doing everything
41 possible to see the situation improves . -
42
43 Barr Engineering is conducting studies for the C,G. Rein
44 Company, who owns Apache Plaza . These studies address
45 environmental concerns . Barr is proposing placing thirteen
46 large holes on the property which will catch flow and remove
47 major particles . This will address the trash issue . Chair
48 Faust stated that the second concern , that of phosphates ,
49 comes from fertilizer and vehicles which remain parked for
50 long periods of time .

6 Holding ponds would alleviate some of the problems being

8 looked into this possibility but it was decided there is no
9 room for holding ponds .
10
11 Urbia advised that a redevelopment plan is being drafted for
12 the CUB store and topographical maps are still needed .
13
14 Regarding the community center , Urbia stated that Request for
15 Proposals have been sent to five well known architectural
16 firms . Also, a space needs analysis is being compiled .

20 May 13th is the tentative date selected for touring the

22 anyone interest attending verify the date with Urbia .
23
24 D. Commissioner Murphy
25
Commissioner Murphy requested information regarding the house
on Silver Lake Road that was recently purchased by the City .
8
29 Urbia -advised that the Fire Department will burn the house
30 down in the spring as a practice drill . The lot ' s availability
31 will be made known to developers . The City also has the option
32 of selling the lot directly if developers do not submit bids
33 which the Council feels are appropriate.
34
35 Commissioner Murphy advised that he received a memo from a
36 property owner on Skycroft . This property owner, who ' s home is
37 located adjacent to Central Park , expressed concern with
38 regard to water drainage and how it is being addressed in the
39 Sports Boosters development project . His specific concern
40 focused on the paved trail which is being considered in the
41 project . He wanted the Boosters to be sensitive to the
42 potential problems this paved trail may cause with regard to
43 water drainage.
44
45 Urbia responded that the Boosters have been rather inflexible
46 on this project , but the City has control as building permits
47 will be required from the City for this project .
48
49 Commissioner Murphy also felt that any work on the football
50 field will also impact on water drainage .

11
12 Commissioner Madden inquired if staff is aware of any activity
13 at the St . Anthony Lanes . Urbia responded he has not. heard of
14 any activity at this bowling alley . He noted that the Public
15 Works Department receives calls regularly from Walker
16 residents . They are distressed with the appearance of the
17 property around the bowling alley as well as the vehicular
18 traffic -driving through. Staff has suggested to the owners of
19 the bowling alley that it would be prudent to blockade the
20 area where traffic cuts through .
21
22 Commissioner Madden questioned if staff had considered
23 development if this building became vacant . Since staff is
24 unaware of the possibility of this vacancy, there was no
25 answer to this inquiry .
26
27 Commissioner Madden noted that the issue of an absention on a
28 vote was discussed at a recent Council meeting. The Council
29 directed staff to include its comments regarding an absention
30 vote in the Planning Commission by-laws .
31
32 Commissioner Madden stated he takes offense to this request
33 and he referred to Roberts ' Rules of Order regarding an
34 abstention. He also takes offense at the City Council revising
35 the Planning Commission ' s by-laws and protested that action .
36
37 Urbia noted that the revision was not made as he recognized
38 that it would be contrary to Robert ' s Rules of Order .
39
40 Commissioner Murphy inquired if the City Attorney was in
41 attendance at the meeting where the by-laws were revised.
42 Urbia did not recall his being in attendance.
43
44 Commissioner Madden wanted the record to reflect his protest
45 of the Planning Commission by-laws revision as approved by the
46 City Council as of January 12 , 1993 .
47
48 Chair Faust observed that the City Council may be requested to
49 rescind this action if this is the wish of the Planning

• STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 13, 1993
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: David Mark Urbia, Management Assistant
ITEM: PUBLIC HEARING -- PETITION FOR SIGN VARIANCE, NORTHGATE
OFFICE PARK
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission brought to the attention of staff that the applicant of the
Northgate Office Park switched a wall sign from "Bare Tan" to"Northgate Office Park." The
original sign was allowed by variance, therefore the new sign would need a variance to be
permitted.
The applicant explains how he meets the three conditions on the petition form. Staff finds
that the parcel of land is unique, as well as the configuration of the building to the highway.
• Staff finds the hardship justifiable, as the applicant's map shows how the current sight-line.
is poor for visibility for southbound traffic. Staff finds that since a variance was previously
granted and hardship was justified, it would be extremely difficult to deny there is hardship.
Finally, staff finds the new sign more attractive than the original "Bare Tan" sign.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend to the City Council the approval of the petition for sign variance for an
additional wall sign. The applicant meets the three required conditions.

ITEM: - CONCEPT REVIEW -- STOP -N- SAVE, 3259 STINSON BOULEVARD
Mr. Jim Sarna, Jr., owner of the Stop -N- Save, would like to install a canopy over the gas
pumps. A letter explains why he feels he needs a canopy at his business. The proposed
plan is included which shows the need for a variance. The outermost corner of the canopy
to 33rd Avenue Northeast is approximately ten feet. The outermost corner of the canopy
to Stinson Boulevard is approximately six feet. The ordinance requires setbacks of 35 feet
on both sides. A variance of approximately 25' and 29' respectively would be required.
An advantage of allowing a canopy would be to assist a business in St. Anthony. However,
there is the difficulty of proving hardship. In addition, a precedent could be set,where other
owners would want canopies.
TO: CITY OF ST. ANTHONY
RE: CANOPY - STOP-N-SAVE
3259 Stinson Blvd.
St. Anthony, Minnesota
Listed below are reason as to why we need a variance to add a canopy
over our pumps:
1 .) Provide shelter for our customers from the elements.
2.) By adding a canopy increase businesss in inclement weather.
3.) It will enhance the physical appearance of the property.
4.) The expense to move the island piping and tanks would be a
very costly expense.
5.) Stop-N-Save can't afford to lose the parking spaces in . front
of the store as it would create a hardship. •
The above reasons are why we need the variance for the canopy. Without
the canopy it would be a hardship for our business, due to the reason
-all our competitors have canopies.

ITEM: CONCEPT REVIEW -- CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR FUN CENTER AT ST. ANTHONY LANES
Mr. Dave Logan, owner and operator of the St. Anthony Fun Center, is considering the
purchase of the St. Anthony Lanes. The purchase is contingent upon the ability to obtain
a conditional use permit to allow an arcade (up to 35 machines) at the St. Anthony Lanes
location. Currently, Mr. Logan has 34 licenses. If Mr. Logan were able to obtain a
conditional use permit, he would like to transfer his licenses and potentially obtain one
additional license. In addition, Mr. Logan would like to remodel the building to allow for
an arcade, and would consider long-term improvements to address the aesthetic and traffic
issues currently taking place at the location.
• From this concept review, Mr. Logan would like to receive an indication of the likelihood
of obtaining a conditional use permit. This information will assist him in deciding upon the
purchase of the St. Anthony Lanes.

ITEM: UTILITY BUILDINGS
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission requested three items of information from staff regarding utility
buildings; they are:
(1) Lots with front and back yards on ,public streets.
A lot must have at least one front yard and one back yard. An utility building
attached to the principal structure would require a rear yard setback of the
greater of 25 feet or 20% or the entire depth of the lot. An utility building
detached from the principal structure would require a rear year setback of five
feet, three feet including the overhang. Please keep in mind - the rear yard
setback is from the property line -- the right of way area (usually fifteen feet)
causes the effect of additional area setback in the rear yard.
(2) The Uniform Building Code and utility buildings.
The Uniform Building Code (UBC) addresses utility buildings, but only
minimally. The reason, utility buildings are not habitable. The UBC does
address wind sheer and weight from snow (60 pounds per square inch).
Manufactured prefab utility buildings meet the standards. Self-made buildings
must-be inspected to insure these standards are met. The Building Inspector
also looks for aesthetic value. The Building Inspector will request that
comparable materials to the principal structure are used for the utility
building. In the case of a manufactured building, a similar color to the
principal structure is requested.
(3) Size.
The 1992 Code of Ordinances has provisions for lot coverage (unlike the 1973
Code of Ordinances). The lot coverage provision will insure a mega-shed will
not be built.
RECOMMENDATION
• Staff finds the issue is addressed appropriately at the time, no further action should be
required.

ITEM: INFORAZATIONAL SIGNS
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission has requested from the Zoning Administrator a definition of
information signs.
The Zoning Administrator believes the City Council has provided direction regarding these types
of signs. The direction provided from the City Council is to allow them, as this will be helpful
to the business community.
The term informational signs was created by staff to attempt to sum up the types of undefined
• signage that is in place in the community (i.e. fast food drive-thru menus, car wash info, credit
cards accepted signs). The number of signs that exist in the City that do not have a definition
or are not prohibited is small and are not, in the Council's opinion, a significant impact on the
aesthetics of the City.
The Planning Commission may attempt to define these signs and present proposed ordinance
language to the City Council for consideration.

The organization's literature is included for your review. The membership dues are as follows:
1 person -- $35.00, 2-3 persons -- $75.00, 4-8 persons -- $150.00.

28 He stated that the February 16 , 1993 Planning Commission
29 Meeting was light and non-controversial .
30.
31 1 . Accessory Structure Setback Permit - Public Hearing
32
33 Commissioner Gondorchin advised that the notice of the public
34 hearing was published with an incorrect convening time. There
35 were few people in attendance to discuss this matter but those
36 who were there were supportive of passage of the proposed
37 ordinance. One resident who lives on West Armour Terrace
38 expressed his appreciation for the ordinance and commended the
39 Planning Commission on reviewing it .
40
41 Commissioner Gondorchin noted that sheds had been left out of
42 this ordinance as it was felt perhaps they would be addressed
43 somewhere else in the City Code . He stated that Commissioner
44 Franzese had expressed her concern regarding visibility and
45 sightline issues .
46
47 The City Manager noted that this proposal would require an
48 ordinance change for which an ordinance is required, An
49 ordinance requires three readings before passage .

6 The City Manager stated that the permit approval will be
7 similar to a variance approval with the same requirements but
8 not requiring a hardship .
9
10 Michael Baker , 3044 Croft Drive , stated he had spoken to the
11 City ' s Public Works Director regarding his concerns with the
12 effective date of this ordinance. He felt this may affect his
13 property and some construction he is considering. Typically,
14 an ordinance is not in effect until thirty days after its
15 passage.
16
17 The City Manager noted that the third reading of the ordinance
18 should occur by the first week in May . He advised that
19 ordinances have traditionally been effective right after the
20 third reading. In this case, this would be April 13th .
21

23 reading of the Accessory Structure Setback Permit Ordinance .

41 2 . Redevelopment Plan -. 3901/3909 Silver Lake Road
29
30 Commissioner Gondorchin advised that there were very favorable
31 comments made by members of the Planning Commission regarding
32 this plan . A few questions were asked regarding berming and
33 foliage which were answered to the Commiss.ion ' s satisfaction .
34
35 The City Manager stated that there will be a public hearing
36 held on this plan on March 23rd .
37
38 3 . Concept Review - 3901/3909 Silver Lake Road
39
40 Four additional parking spaces are being requested -for this
41 project . A variance would be required for these parking
42 spaces . It was noted that the spaces would also allow for less
43 visibility of the refuse/recycling area .
44
45 Commissioner Gondorchin noted that three commissioners could
46 not support approval of granting of the variance in that there
47 was no demonstrated hardship. Two commissioners favored the
48 variance approval as it would afford better access to the
49 refuse/recycling bins .

6 It was also noted that there was ample parking to meet the
7 parking requirements and there was no real reason to grant a
8 variance for additional parking .
9
10 Mayor Ranallo agreed that there was no hardship but he stated
11 his preference to having the recycling and rubbish bins in the
12 back of the building .
13
14 The City Manager advised he has worked with the planner on
15 this situation and a solution has been . reached so the
16 containers can be located in back of the building and there
17 will still be ample access for refuse trucks .
18
19 Councilmember Enrooth observed that some displeasure was
20 expressed by Commissioner Gondorchin at the Planning
21 Commission Meeting regarding the Council ' s lack of activity on
22 the parking ordinance.
23
24 Commissioner Gondorchin stated there had been very large
25 numbers of residents who attended the meetings where this
26 proposed ordinance was discussed . He felt it was a high
27 visibility issue and not only an RV issue which it had been
28 labelled by the media. He also felt it was an issue which
29 would ultimately need to be' addressed as it would not go away.
30 He suggested that the present parking ordinance is vague and
31 unenforceable .
32
33 Councilmember Enrooth noted that the Council has a planning
34 session coming up in March where this issue will be addressed.
35 He suggested that the action of the Council was a delaying
36 tactic rather than backing away from the issues .
37
38 The Mayor observed that the issue became controversial because
39 it was identified as a RV parking ordinance. He felt the City
40 Council would view this matter as a parking issue and a
41 storage of vehicles which are not being used issue .
42
43 Commissioner Gondorchin requested that the Council be
44 proactive on this matter .

26 Councilmember Fleming cautioned. that all municipal
officials should be aware of the Police Bill of Rights
and its progress . It may have an impact on each community
29 in the country .
30
31 When the Mayor inquired how effective she felt the

33 give a report on th.is later . The Mayor viewed the
34 networking opportunities with other local elected
35 officials has always been very beneficial for him.
36

38
39 Recently, Councilmember Enrooth toured two other city ' s
40 community centers . He noted that they were totally
41 different from each other .
42
43 The Councilmember particularly liked the facility in
44 Mahtomedi . It used very creative architecture with an
45 add-on to part of the building and some reconstruction .

18 Institute .
19
20 Councilmember Marks represented the City at the National
21 League of Cities Conference in Washington , D . C . While there he
22 attended a Civic Visioning Seminar which used Rock 'Mill , South
23 Carolina as an example of visioning .
24
25 Leaders in Rock Hill looked at its City in six areas in this
visioning process for turning the direction of the City
around . In 1970 there had been thirteen textile mills
28 operating successfully in the City and they were the largest
29 employers in the area . By 1980 all of these mills had closed ,
30 the economy was depressed and the City ' s tax base had
31 virtually disappeared . It ' s neighbor in North Carolina offered
32 serious competition to the economic future of Rock Hill .
33
34 Councilmember Marks explained how a two year plus process
35 turned the City around and it is now enjoying success in such
36 areas as environment , education and historical as well as
37 other arenas . Forty new industries have been attracted to the
38 City . Also, Rock Hill did a " female" David which has been used
39 very effectively as a marketing tool . No final report has been
40 compiled on these efforts as it is being viewed as an on-going
41 process . He saw possibilities for St . Anthony for using some
42 of the Rock Hill strategies .
43
44 Councilmember Marks also attended forums which addressed the
45 President ' s economic stimulus package which was presented by
46 former Mayor Latimer and Henry Cisneros , a former NLC
47 President and a member of the President ' s cabinet . Part of the
48 package included the addition of 100 , 00 new police officers in
49 the country, revamping of the human services agenda and
50 delivery, and having a partnership with all levels of government .

8 drafted by Maier Stewart and Associates were also included in
9 the packet . The City Manager noted that estimates are
10 typically high .
11
12 The City Manager advised that when bids are received the
13 Council will hold a public hearing to determine if there will
14 be a project . Councilmember Fleming inquired if a public
15 hearing could be held before the bids are gotten . The City
16 Manager felt this would not be advisable as only estimated
17 costs would be available for discussion . He feels that
18 property owners prefer to have actual costs .
19
20 The City Manager recommended that all of the projects be bid
21 as a package thereby affording the City the best possible
22 rates . The Council could then consider each street in the
23 package project by project .
24
25 Discussion continued regarding the assessment policy and how
actual assessments are determined . It was noted that the
assessment formula addresses all unusual sized lots and
28 frontages . This includes double lots , curves and corner lots .
29
30 An appraisal firm had been employed to draft opinions of the
31 market value contribution which may be realized from each of
32 these street improvements to adjoining properties . The
33 appraiser ' s letter stated his observations are preliminary and
34 not a formal appraisal .
35
36 The City Attorney advised that if there are court cases
37 resulting from these assessments an appraisal would be
38 required. He noted that special benefit to a given property
39 must be equal to the amount of the assessment .
40
41 The City Attorney stated that the City' s fifty-fifty split of
42 costs of assessments plan is supported by the appraiser and is
43 in keeping with the law. He noted that while there is no
44 formula for this in the law the courts want fairness to the
45 benefitted property owners to be a primary concern when
46 determining the amount of an assessment . He also stated that
47 if the formula produces an assessment which appears to be way
48 out of line for a particular property, the City Council can
49 adjust this when it adopts the assessment rolls .
