Council (K) ADMINISTRATIVE PXSSENTATIONS (L) ADJOURNMENT 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. * Information Enclosed ** Information enclosed with a previous agenda Minutes of Maplewood Village Council 7:30 P.M., Thursday, June 3, 1971 Council Chambers, Municipal Building Meeting No. 71 -21 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. - 10 - 6/3 3. Ripley Street Improvements (McKnight to Myrtle) — Petition a.

Councilwoman Olson introduced the following resolution and moved its' adoption: (ordering a feasibility report) 71 -6- 99 WHEREAS, the Village Council has determined that it is necessary and expedient that the area described as: 1. Area bounded by Larpenteur Avenue, Hazelwood Avenue extended, Frost Avenue extended and Beebe Road be improved by construction of storm sewer, and 2. Kingston Avenue: Hazel to Ruth Street Price Avenue: Hazel to Ruth Street Hazel Street: Kingston to Larpenteur Ave. Stanich Place: Price to Larpenteur Ave. Ruth Street: Kingston to Larpenteur Ave. be improved by construction of street paving and concrete curb and gutter; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA, that the petition as hereinbefore described is hereby referred to Village Engineer, and he is instructed to report to the Council with all convenient speed advising the Council in a preliminary way as to whether the proposed improvement is feasible and should best be made as proposed, and the estimated cost of the improvement as recommended.

Councilman Greavu stated that one of the conditions of the approval of the Dairy Queen, on Century Avenue, was that they would install a solid wall on the back lot line, Also the neighbors have complained about the lighting. The lights should be shaded, - 13 - 6/3 Staff will investigate. b. Councilwoman Olson questioned what improvements are being constructed or in the process of being constructed, in order that the Council has some idea as to what will be needed for bonding. Manager Miller stated Beam Avenue and Eleventh Avenue are the only im- provements approved so far this year. Staff will compile a list of projects in process now and the ones anticipated. c. Mayor Axdahl asked when it would be possible to get a current status on the budget. Manager Miller stated approximately the middle of July. Staff is now working on the contract for Data Processing Services. d. Councilwoman Olson asked when a financial statement would be ready. Manager Miller stated it is being typed now. e. Councilman Wiegert stated he noticed the reference to Cleaning of Ditch 17. Is it Staffs consideration that the residents, in the area of County Ditch 17, should be referred to the County again, or what should take place at this time. Manager Miller stated the residents of Roseville in the area of County Ditch 4 had petitioned the County. There will be a Ramsey County re- presentative at the June 8, 1971 meeting and perhaps he may be able to answer Council's questions. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS 1. Manager Miller commented on the letter the Mayor had received from Northern States Power. He stated he has been discussing with the Managers of other communities the feasibility of a Ramsey County Rates Authority. He will be reporting back to Council on this matter. 2.

Also a letter from Mr. Lais commenting on the survey monument problem. 3.

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. - 14 - 6/3 5. Manager Miller stated that Mr. Robert Hall has obtained the Peloquin property to the south of the addition to. the Maplewood Bowl and is request- ing permission to fill in the property and a portion of Chambers Street. The Staff recommends that Mr. Hall file for vacation of Chambers Street from Frost north to where it is now vacated. .
