16
17 Commissioner Werenicz attended the Council Meeting
18 representing the Planning Commission.
19
20 1 . Proposed Rezonina on Kenzie Terrace ( 2905 Kenzie Terrace,
21 2700 Coolidge Avenue and 2715 Coolidge Avenue)
22
23 The proposed rezoning is to change the Commercial designation
24 to R-1 .
25
26 Commissioner Werenicz advised there was minimal discussion of
27 this matter by the Planning Commission . The Task Force
proposals were reviewed and the Planning Commission concurred
with the recommendation to change the zoning from C to R-1 .
31 The City Manager reviewed the parcels under consideration for
32 rezoning.
33
34 Councilmember Marks stated he has a potential conflict of
35 interest in this matter and will abstain from voting or
36 dicussing it . He left the Council Chambers .
37
38 The City Attorney advised that technically this item should be
39 in the form of a zoning ordinance amendment . He will draft the
40 ordinance for publication . He noted that its passage requires
41 a four/fifths vote of the City Council . He also stated that
42 the City Council could either hold all of the readings or
43 waive them.
44
45 The Mayor responded that the Council has a policy of not
46 waiving the reading of. an ordinance so the public would have
47 an opportunity for comment .
48
49 The City Attorney suggested that the first reading could be
50 held at this meeting and would constitute a public hearing.

16 2 . Sidevard Setback Variance Request - John Novak, .2608 West
17 Armour Terrace
18
19 Commissioner Werenicz advised that Mr. Novak is requesting a
20 variance of one foot , four inches to accommodate the enlarging
21 of his garage. Mr. Novak wishes to make space for two vehicles
22 and be able to attach the garage to the house.
23
24 Commissioner Werenicz noted that some members of the Planning
25 Commission had felt the strict letter of the law be adhered to
26 but recognized the legitimacy of Mr . Novak ' s request .
27
Regarding the hardship factor for granting the request ,
is members of the Commission suggested that the ordinance may be
30 what is creating the hardship. It was felt by Commission
31 members that perhaps all of the parking ordinances should be
32 reviewed. The Planning Commission recommended the granting of
33 the variance request on a vote of. five to two on the condition
34 that the property lines be clearly defined.
35
36 Commissioner Werenicz advised that the neighbor to the east of
37 Mr. Novak, John Dotolo, expressed concern regarding the exact
38 property lines . The City Manager noted that a survey is not
39 being requested, but rather that the lot lines be identified
40 and the monument stakes be found. This would also impact on
41 the variance.
42 -
43 Councilmember Fleming inquired if Mr. Dotolo has signed the
44 memo from the neighbors which stated they had no problem with
45 the granting of the variance. Mr. Dotolo . replied he had not
46 signed the memo and was concerned with a flower bed in h i s
47 yard which will be affected by this garage enlargement . He
48 prefers that the garage be left the way it presently is .

6 Councilmember Marks observed that the City now requires a two
7 car garage with new construction .
8
9 Commissioner Werenicz noted that we are dealing with a 1950 ' s
10 ordinance which could be viewed as a hardship.
11
12 Mayor Ranallo stated that the City is requesting all residents
13 to remove their vehicles from the streets . He requested that
14 the Planning Commission consider this when it is reviewing the
15 parking ordinance. The City Manager advised he will bring some
16 updated suggestions to the Planning Commission when it
17 considers the ordinances .
18
19 Councilmember Enrooth felt this may be a safety' factor in
20 wanting the door directly into the house.
21
22 Mr . Dotolo inquired how close a garage can come to a house. He
23 noted that the overhangs are going to be eight feet or closer
24 to his home and that of Mr . Novak .
25
26 The Mayor inquired if a safety factor, such as access of fire
27 trucks , is a consideration . The City Manager responded that
overhangs are no longer considered when a garage is attached
to a house. There is no need to gain access to a back yard by
30 emergency vehicles as fire safety can be addressed with
31 equipment rather than trucks .
32
33 Councilmember Marks requested a definition of the hardship
34 which applies to this particular situation.
35
36 Commissioner Werenicz responded that the present ordinance,
37 which reqires fifteen feet total , is creating the hardship for
38 thirty to forty year old homes where there are single car.
39 garages .
40
41 Motion by Fleming, second by Wagner to approve the variance
42 request for one foot , four inches from the requirement of a
43 total of fifteen feet in order to expand a single car garage
44 to a double car garage for John Novak, 2608 West Armour
45 Terrace.

6 Commissioner. Werenicz advised that Connie Kozlak, who chaired
7 the Road Reconstruction Task Force, gave the report .
8
9 The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council move
10 ahead in implementing the Ten Year Plan as recommended by the
11 Task Force. The Mayor noted that the same plan was presented
12 to the City Council as was presented to the Planning
13 Commission.
14
15 The City Manager stated that Ms . Kozlak is employed by the
16 Metropolitan Council and has access to information regarding
17 the criteria for sidewalk placement . He noted that sidewalks
18 are a considerationfor heavily trafficed thoroughfares and
19 adjacent to commercial areas .
20
21 Traffic counts will be taken on 29th and 33rd Avenues adjacent
22 to Silver Lake Road. Councilmember Marks felt a sidewalk would
2.3 be very desirable west of Silver Lake Road on 33rd Avenue. He .
24 also felt two different counts should be taken, pedestrian and
25 vehicular . The City Manager felt counts east of Silver Lake
26 Road on 33rd Avenue may not be useful as students who go to
27 the school on that street have a habit of -not using sidewalks.
The Mayor inquired if neighborhood meetings will be held to
0 explain the street reconstruction. The City Manager stated
31 that they would and costs, timeframes and inconveniences of
32 street construction will be addressed. The Engineer will
33 conduct the neighborhood meetings .
34
35 The City Manager felt that Old Highway #8 was a good example
36 of a good improvement . He suggested that some property owners
37 will object to the .assessments for the reconstruction, but
38 that most will want to invest in improving St . Anthony.
39
40 The City Attorney cautioned that no assessment can exceed the
41 value of the improvements to the assessed property.
42
43 Press releases will be sent out by staff to advise all
44 affected property owners of the impending improvements and of
45 the neighborhood meetings .
46
47 4 . Proposed Central Park Improvements
48
49 Commissioner Werenicz advised that Jerry Hanson, representing
50 the Athletic Sports Boosters , presented a proposal from .that
1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
OCTOBER 27 , 1992
di PAGE 9
4
5
6 organization for improvements to Central Park . The Sports
7 Boosters are willing to contribute $75, 000 to the improvement
8 project . Members of the Planning Commission felt any
9 improvement is good for the City and favored the proposal
10 presented . Some commissioners did express concern regarding
11 losing two adult softball diamonds and the lack of plans for
12 the needs of older adults . It was felt the survey results
13 would be very helpful in defining what the City' s residents
14 desire.
15
16 The City Manager advised that the Planning Commission approved
17 the concept to improve Central Park but did not approve this
18 particular proposal . He agreed that the survey will . tell quite
19 a bit about the needs of residents .
20
21 Councilmember Marks inquired if there is going to be a walking
22 area and advised this was included in the proposal . There is
23 a shortage of soccer and softball fields .
24
25 The City Manager said this will be an agenda item for a
26 Council work session .
27
Councilmember Enrooth noted that if this proposal is approved
it could limit what could be done with the rest of the park .
30 The City Manager stated that if the drainage system on the
31 football field were eliminated, space could be provided for a
32 soccer field.
33
34 Councilmember Enrooth observed that a comprehensive approach
35 is needed for all park land. He felt this was a good beginning
36 from others to do something with the parks .
37
38 The City Manager noted that as the discussion went on at the
39 Planning Commission meeting more flexibility was initiated. He
40 felt the City has really nothing to say if the School Board
41 approves the proposal .
4.2
4_3 The Mayor requested the City Manager to check with the School
44 Board regarding the use of funds from pull tab operations . He
45 also requested him to find out if the funds can be dedicated
46 to a certain project and given to the City or the School Board
47 to hold in a special Park Fund.
48
49 The City Manager advised that all of the $75,000 is not being
50 given in one lump sum. He noted that the Sports Boosters are

6 fearful of losing the funds if they are not spent by the end
7 of the year but this is not accurate.
8
9 Recognizing that a property owner was present to discuss
10 Ordinance No. 1992-009 , the Council moved this item up on the
11 agenda .
12
13 UNFINISHED BUSINESS
14
15 A. Ordinance No. 1992-009, Re: Housina Maintenance Code
16 (Third Reading)
18 Jerry Cowan, 3316 Croft Drive, is the co-owner of the
19 Macalester Manor Apartments . He stated he knew nothing of the
20 ordinance until early this afternoon and has had limited time
21 to review it . The City Manager said he had advised Mr . Cowan ' s
22 partner of -the ordinance in its draft form. It was the opinion
23 of the City Manager that apartment owners had concerns with
24 this ordinance, particularly regarding .the impact of proposed
25 security systems.
26
27 He noted that few apartment complexes have security systems
and suggested that they could perhaps be "grandfathered in"
49 and be .installed only when major repairs are being made to the
30 facilities . His concern with this is that some owners may put
31 off doing needed repairs to avoid having to install security
32 systems which could be a financial strain.
33
34 Mr. Cowan noted that "security" is defined by the Multiple
35 Housing Association as " limited access" so the owners would
36 not be liable for something which they would have limited
37 control over. He also questioned the requirements of having a
38 deadbolt lock.
39
40 The - City Manager suggested that this entire section on
41 security systems could be removed. He noted that most new
42 complexes already have them and they are used as a marketing.
43 tool . He felt there may be question as to how beneficial this .
44 section would be to the City. He also noted that the intent of
45 the Housing Maintenance Code was to maintain aesthetics and
46' this section does not address that .
47
48 The Mayor felt security was important in these facilities . The
49 City Manager stated the "controlled" entrance requirement is
50 the problem. He also noted there will probably not be any more .

6 apartments built in the City . Mr. Cowan advised that
7 Macalester Manor Apartments do not have foyers so this would
8 pose a problem in meeting the ordinance requirements . The City
9 Manager noted that this was the case with Diamond Eight
10 Terrace as well .
11
12 The City Attorney suggested that this section , which is a
13 requirement of the State Building Code, be removed and that
14 Section B be relabelled as Section A.
15
16 The City Manager felt the Third Reading of the Ordinance
17 should be delayed for additional comments and input .
18
19 The ordinance was reviewed page by page. The height
20 requirement of twelve inches from the ground for the storage
21 of wood was removed from the ordinance. The purpose of this
22 height was to deter the storage of wood in the front yards of
23 properties and - to keep rodents out of wood piles .
24
25 The City Manager noted that "prevailing" was removed from the
26 section on Yard Cover as it is difficult to define within the
27 boundary of community standards . The Mayor has observed there
are some yards without any yard cover and they do not present
a pleasant appearance.
30
31 Councilmember Enrooth inquired how it will be determined if a
32 sump pump is emptying into the sanitary sewer system. The City
33 Manager responded that it will be "smoked" and will require
34 fixing if itis emptying into the sanitary sewer system. The
35 Mayor felt this could cost between $250 . 00 and $400 . 00 . The
36 City Manager assured the Council that the costs would be under
37 $1 , 000 . 00 .
38
39 Councilmember Marks noted that this sump pump inflow affects
40 the I and I costs the City pays .
41
42 In Subsection 4 , page 11 , Councilmember Wagner noted a double
43 negative and requested the sentence . be corrected.
44
45 Councilmember Marks was of the opinion that the section on
46 Composting should be deleted in that it attempts to fix a
47 problem which does not exist .
48
49 Noting that most compost piles are placed on lot lines, the
50 Mayor was, of the opinion that this section should remain .
1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
2 OCTOBER 27 , 1992
PAGE 12

6 He has received complaint calls from residents regarding their
7 neighbor ' s composting practices .
8
9 When the City Manager spoke to the issue of grooming of trees
10 and brush, the Mayor recalled receiving a call from a resident
11 who was having problems with a neighbor ' s tree . He recommended
12 that the resident speak directly to the neighbor. This was
13 done and the problem was cooperatively resolved. The Mayor
14 felt many problems are really lack of communication.
15
16 The City Manager is of the opinion that this ordinance will
17 affect relatively few people.
18
19 Mr. Cowan had other concerns with enforcement of the
20 ordinance. A specific instance he quoted was the section
21 regarding keeping a unit clean and orderly. The City Manager
22 advised that the Ramsey County ,Sanitat ion Department could be
23 contacted if there is a situation regarding habitability in
24 the Macalester Manor Apartments .
25
26 - Mr . Cowan also questioned the possiblity of having a
27 questionable chemical in the cabinets . If this is the case, he
'8 inquired if they would have to be replaced and if the
substance is considered hazardous . He also had questions
_ regarding the section on ventilation . The City Manager will
31 follow through on these concerns . He advised that State
32 Building Code requirments are the guiding force behind this
33 ordinance.
34
35 The City Attorney noted that a provision has been added to the
36 ordinance whereby if there are any conflicts between the
37 ordinance and State Code, the State Code will prevail .
38
39 Mayor Ranallo requested that all members of the Council
40 carefully study this ordinance when it is received. The City
41 Manager will have it to them the Friday before the next
42 Council Meeting.
43
44 Motion -by Enrooth, second by Fleming to table this ordinance
45 until the next Council Meeting. .

8 It was stated that political signs are posted about three
9 weeks before the election. Mayor Ranallo and Councilmembers
10 Marks and Wagner felt this was adequate time. Councilmember
11 Fleming opposed the time being limited to three weeks noting

14 The Mayor suggested that the time could be placed at four
15 weeks .

24 installers have to be given correct information.

27 have .contacted City Hall regarding this issue.
The Mayor felt this should be fifteen feet from the curb and

31 restrictions for political yard signs of four weeks before the
32 election and five days after the election should apply to the
33 School Board as well .
