ADDENDUM TO THE AGENDA
Meeting No. 71 -21
I T E M
E These are both budgeted items.
H -la ** This proposed zone change was heard last Thursday. Approval
with conditions was recommended by both the staff and the
Planning Commission.
H -lb ** This zone change was heard on January 14, 1971. At that
time the staff recommended approval of the zone change
request, and the Planning Commission recommended denial.
The Commission suggested that the rezoning of this property
should be considered, but suggested that LBC zoning should
be considered rather BC. The Council delayed action on this
matter pending the completion of condemnation proceedings in
the area of Cope Avenue. These proceedings have now been
completed and the matter is placed on the agenda for your
consideration.
H -2a ** The special use permit for the Fox and Hounds was recommended
by both the staff and the Commission (the Commission vote. was
6 to 5) with conditions. The only way that the staff can
determine the number of parking spaces on the existing lots,
other than to review the plan originally submitted (which
showed 184 off - street spaces) is if the parking lot is striped.
This will be checked before the Thursday night meeting. At
the hearing the developer contested the staff's calculations
of the required number of parking spaces. He estimated a
need for 240 spaces as compared to the staff's calculations
of 241 spaces. He felt that he would have these required
spaces if allowed to include the parking area on the Shell
service station ground to the south of his property. That
area was graded and blacktopped without a permit being
requested or given by the Village. Without a written agree-
ment between the parties involved such additional. spaces do
not meet ordinance provision. Without such written contract
the Village has no guarantee of the continued use of that
property for parking. A circumstance where a property owner
could install temporary parking on a neighbor's property
simply to get around, the code provisions can easily be fore-
seen. For this reason some form of wri_tzen agreement or
lease should be required prior to acceptance of the additional.
spaces for code purposes. If the written agreement should be
provided then provision should be made in such approval that
the Village be given a minimum of 60 days notice of any
termination of the agreement in order that assurance of
replacement of the spaces may be made prior to termination
of the agreement. It should be noted that the grading of
the parking facility on the Shell property does not appear
to be satisfactory.
H -2b ** Both _the staff and the Commission recommended approval of
this request with staff conditions. The Director of Public
Safety is reviewing the seventh street parking and a report
will. be made Thursday night.
H -3 ** Both the staff and the Commission agreed upon a recommendation
for vacation; however, they did not agree as to the extent of
the vacation.
H -4 ** The Council voted to reconsider this request for a time
extension. The staff continues to recommend denial in this
matter. The staff had originally recommended a limitation
of 12 months, but the Planning Commission recommended an
additional 6 months or 18 months. The staff continues to
feel that time limits are set as a result of public hearings
required in a special use permit. For this reason, it is
felt that unless the Village has in some way caused a delay,
that the time extension should be adhered to. The developers
have the alternate of resubmitting their plans for review
thus allowing the Council to review the plans in light of
conditions existant at the time of the reapplication.
H -5* At the last regular Council meeting the Fire Fighter Relief
Association was authorized to invest up to 50% of their
funds in bonds and 25% in stocks. I have now been advised
that a preferable action would have been to consider the
].imitation up to 75% investment in bonds and stocks with
no more than 25% in stocks. This would allow and encourage
the investment in bonds which we are informed are less
speculative than stocks.
H -6 ** These ordinances have been discussed previously and will be
up for final adoption.
H -7 I have discussed the matter of insurance committees with the
Managers of Roseville, North St. Paul and White Bear Lake.
North St. Paul does have an insurance committee composed of
insurance agents who prepare specifications for the insurance
program of the village. Bids are taken on the insurance
programs and the agents involved in the committee are allowed
to bid. The other two communities do not have insurance
committees. We are also checking with the two school districts,
Vadnais Heights, and Little Canada. I will report Thursday
night.
H -8 ** This item is relative to the Roseville ordinance on animal
Control which the council requested.
H -9 I will have a report on this for the meeting. If we are to
open the Municipal Building for use of other than official
groups, it should be kept in mind that the use of the Council
Chambers is now almost complete during week nights. It would
be my suggestion that any use by outside groups of the
building be limited to 8:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. on week days,
-2-
due to the hours of the maintenance custodian.
I -1 The owners of a camper trailer located at 1137 East County
Road B are requesting that relatives be allowed to utilize
the trailer as living quarters through September. The
request is actually in excess of the 90 days provided for
by ordinance. Denial of their request is strongly recommended.
No toilet facilities are provided in the trailer and the
trailer itself was not designed for such use.
I -2 ** A report relative to this condominium was included in the
May 17 Planning Commission packet. The proposal involves
a creating of a condominium subdivision of townhouses
presently constructed on the east side of Arkwright Street
between Skillman and Vernon. The staff recommends approval
subject to conditions listed in the staff report. Since
the report was prepared all outstanding assessments and
deferments have been paid.
I• -3 A feasibility report should be ordered.
I -4 The assessment in question is for a sanitary sewer service
connection which was not made to the subject property.
It is recommended that the $82.50 assessment be cancelled.
I- 5a,b,c, A date of June 24 is suggested for these hearings.
I• -5d This variance request will go before the Board of Adjustment
and Appeals.
I -6 This item should be deleted.
I -6* Street paving and curb and gutter for a number of streets
in the Stanich Highlands area were delayed in 1970 due to
the departure of our Village Engineer. Due to the time
lag involved, if we are to proceed with this project it
would appear that a new hearing should be held. The date
of June 24th is recommended for such a hearing.
Administrative Presentations.
The Director of Public Works checked with the Village
of Roseville to determine if a county ditch had been repaired
by the County. According to our information County Ditch #4
was cleaned by the County upon request of property owners
involved. The cost of the improvement was charged back to
the benefited - property owners.
The Director of Public Works is also reviewing the
potential costs of an underground lighting system for the
Pleasantview Park area. The electric lines for the area
are above ground as are the existing street lights. We
will report on this at a latter date.
-3-
The 1971 Budget is now at the printers being bound.
We will hope to have your copies to you late this week or
early next week. The first year's preparation of a budget
is always the most difficult. In the future much of the
background work used in the preparation of the 1971 Budget
will be utilized, and the budgets should be ready for
distribution prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.

Maplewood Village Council
1380 Frost Avenue
St. Paul, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
We were very pleased with the recent District Court decision regarding the
Bor -Son Company lawsuit against the village on the proposed apartment town-
house development at Brookview and Sterling. We wish to express our apprec-
iation to the Council for your patience during the discussion of issues at
Council meetings, denying of the building permit, and initiative in rezoning
the property back to its proper R1 zoning.
We hope our support as interveners in the recent court action was helpful
in obtaining the favorable decision. Your response to the expressions of
- 2 - 6/3
the area residents was an excellent example of how a community government
can represent its citizens.
Yours very truly,
Joe Gfieman, President

1971. At that time the Staff recommended approval of the zone change
request and the Planning Commission recommended denial. The Com-

sidered, but suggested that LBC should be considered rather than BC.

- 3 - 6/3
1. Manager Miller stated the special use permit for the Fox and
Hounds was recommended by both the staff and the Commission ( the
Commission vote was 6 to 5) with conditions. The only way that the
staff can determine the number of parking spaces on the existing
lots, other than to review the plan originally submitted ( which

Without such a written contract the Village has no guarantee of the
continued use of that property for parking. A circumstance where a

If the written agreement should be provided then provision should be
made in such approval that the Village be given a minimum of 60 days
notice of any termination of the agreement in order that assurance of
replacement of the spaces may be made prior to termination of the agree-
ment. It should be noted that the grading of the parking facility on
the Shell property does not appear to be satisfactory.

I. NEW BUSINESS
1. Special Permit Request (Temporary Mobile Home) - 1134 East County Road B.
a. Manager Miller stated the owners of a camper trailer located at 1134
East County Road B are requesting that relatives be allowed to utilize
the trailer as living quarters through September. Denial of their re-
quest is strongly recommended. The trailer is not designed nor does it
have the necessary facilities for living quarters.
b. Councilman Wiegert moved to deny the request.
Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all.
2. Proposed Subdivision - Anlon Condominium (East side of Arkwright between
Skillman and Vernon Avenue)
a. Manager Miller stated the proposal involves a creating of a condominium
subdivision of townhouses presently constructed on the east side of Ark -
wright Street between Skillman and Vernon Avenues. All outstanding assess-
ments and deferments have been paid. Staff recommends approval subject
to conditions.
- 9 - 6/3
b. Councilman Haugan moved approval of the request of Anton Construction
Company to create a condominium subdivision of townhouses located on
the east side of Arkwright Street between Skillman and Vernon Avenues
subject to conditions:
1. Legal staff review and approval of the proposed home owners
association Bylaws and declaration of covenants, conditions, and
restrictions.
2. Village clarification on Anlon, Inc.'s written inquiry as to the
status of sanitary sewer regarding a lift pump to service the souther-
ly building addressed 1982 to 1984 Arkwright.Street.
3. Section 1007.020 of the Village Platting Code provides that all
street improvements have been satisfactorily arranged.
This Office finds that as of May 17, 1971 the following outstanding
assessments are pending on all of B1k 2, McGoffin's North Side Ad-
dition of which this condominium proposal is to sell of 1/2 of the
Block. All of Blk 2, McGoffins North Side Addition outstanding public
assessments:
Street -Storm Sewer $18,992.46
Sanitary Sewer 2,649.42
Water 6,631.08
Sub -Total $28,272.95
Deferred Sanitary Sewer 6,862.96
Total Assessment $35,135.91
After discussions with the Village Clerk, it is our understanding
that the Arkwright Street Side of this Block which is proposed for
condominium sale has financial obligation equivalent to 1/2 of the
above total or $17,567.96.
This Office suggests that the 1/2 block portion proposed for condomin-
ium sale pay off all outstanding assessments to avoid hidden costs
to prospective purchasers plus avoid complex lot splitting assessment
practices. This condition is recommended because it is our considered
judgement that those outstanding assessments are no different than
those street utility costs within a typical subdivision which the
subdivision is required to guarantee prior to sale or transfer of
ownership any lots within the subdivision.
Further, the Planning Office is of the judgment that all, not 1/2,
of the outstanding deferment of $6,862.96 should be paid rather than
dividing it as would be the case in the other assessments. This would
then suggest that $20,999.44 outstanding assessments should be paid
the Village as a condition of condominium plat approval by the Village.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.

3. Ripley Street Improvements (McKnight to Myrtle) — Petition
a. Manager Miller presented a petition for the construction of street

adoption:
71 -6 -97

for the improvement of the following described area:
Ripley Street between McKnight Road and Myrtle Street

WHEREAS, the said petition has been declared to be signed by the
