Also, there was no evidence available indicating the absence or presence of the underground tanks. The environmental investigation work was considered complete and the building and impervious surface were removed. In April 2007, the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) approved a Preliminary Agreement with United Bankers' Bank (UBB). The purpose of the Preliminary Agreement was to explore the development feasibility for a 2.5-acre site south of the Decision One building, which includes the property at 6700 Cedar Avenue. Also, in April, the City granted to UBB a right-of-entry for purposes of conducting environmental evaluation. . UBB hired American Engineering Testing Inc. (AET) to complete the environmental work. Their work consisted of soil probing for subsurface contamination. Their lab analysis indicated that there isa "minor" release ofgroundwater contamination. Though "minor', it is still above the allowed limit by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). In order to bring contaminated land back into productive use, the property is enrolled in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Voluntary and Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program. VIC provides technical assistance and legal assurances for individuals or businesses seeking to investigate or cleanup contaminated property. As part of the VIC program, the City is required to further investigate the soil contamination and determine the extent of the contamination and the appropriate action to take (monitor or cleanup). To assist in the financial aspect of the investigation and any potential cleanup of the property, DEED, Met Council and Hennepin County have grant programs for the investigation and cleanup of contaminants. It is necessary to submit an application to access funds to assist with the investigation and potential cleanup. A requirement of the grant process is a resolution indicating the City Council's support of the application. . I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . It is appropriate to seek outside funding whenever possible. . . . I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . Receiving a "No Action" letter from the VIC program provides environmental closure to the City and any developer. . Not completing the investigation and cleanup could make the redevelopment more expensive. I C. FINANCIAL I . A local match is required for the DEED grant of 25%. However, the MetCouncil funds could be used as part of the required local match of the DEED grant (up to 13% of the local match). . The remaining 12% of the match can come from funds available from the HRA Cedar Corridor budget. I D.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Consideration of attached resolution regarding a License Agreement between the City of Richfield, Kensington Park Retail (Cornerstone Group), and CSM Investors for shared parking at the municipal liquor store located at 7700 Lyndale Avenue. I II. BACKGROUND I In December 2002 The Cornerstone Group (Cornerstone) received City Council approval for a Final Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit for a mixed-use development called, Kensington Park. A condition of approval required Cornerstone to provide 50 off-site parking spaces that would be used by the commercial tenant's employees. Cornerstone had an agreement with Lynwood Commons Apartments (formerly Century Court Apartments), a block north of Mainstreet Village for those parking spaces. 102307 -Cornerstone Parking Agreement . . Since its opening, Kensington Park has been a success; especially the restaurant tenants which include Chipotle, Potbelly, Starbucks, and Noodles and Company. With the success has come an issue of parking. The commercial tenant's employees were parking in Kensington Park's parking lot. This caused problems with customer parking during the lunch hour and resulted in parking spilling into the neighborhood to the west along Aldrich Avenue. As a remedy, Cornerstone has an agreement with the owners of Hampton Inn for 20 spaces and an agreement with Lyndale Commons Apartments for 19 spaces. In May 2007, Cornerstone, CSM Corporation and the City approved a 90-day parking agreement in which 11 spaces were made available for Kensington Park's employees at the municipal liquor store located at 7700 Lyndale Avenue. (See attached map.) The initial90-day period expired September 2,2007. On August 14, 2007 the Council extended the Agreement for an additional period of 60-days or to November 1,2007. It was the intent of the 90-day parking Agreement, that if the operation is successful, the City Council would be requested to extend the Agreement for a longer term. The conditions of the 90-day parking Agreement have worked well for all three parties. Attached to this report is a proposed License Agreement (Agreement). The Agreement provides for the use of liquor store parking spaces by the liquor store, CSM and Cornerstone. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . Cornerstone is required by the Planned Unit Development to have 50 off-site spaces for employee parking. . There has been no change in any of the details of the Agreement. All of the items listed below are included in the initial Agreement. CRITICAL ISSUES I · In the Utilities and Access Agreement between the City and CSM, the City has the right to park in 11 parking spaces which are partially owned by CSM and partially owned by the City because of the location of the property lines; while CSM has the right to park in 14 spaces that are solely owned by the City and 2 spaces that are partially owned by CSM and the City. · Cornerstone has 20 spaces available at Hampton Inn and 19 spaces at Lynwood Commons Apartments. · The proposed Agreement would provide 11 non-exclusive spaces for Cornerstone at the liquor store from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily and 10 parking spaces form 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday - Friday. · CSM will have non-exclusive use of 20 parking spaces. · The liquor store will have exclusive use of six parking spaces. lB. . . . . . The liquor store manger has been part of these discussions and supports this Agreement. If any real estate taxes become due and payable in 2008 and any subsequent years, Cornerstone will be required to pay those taxes due to their use of City property. Any party can terminate the Agreement with 10 days notice. The Transportation Commission has been discussing parking regulations for the west side of the 7600 block of Aldrich Avenue. They will be considering making a recommendation for residential parking permits at their November 7th meeting. This recommendation would then go to a public hearing at a City Council meeting in November. . . . Ie. FmANC~L I · Cornerstone will be financially responsible for the appropriate proportion of the maintenance costs of the parking lot, which equates to $632 per year. · The liquor store manager has opined that the Agreement will not have a negative impact on sales. Evenings and Saturdays generate the highest customer counts. As noted above, the Agreement can be cancelled with a 10-day notice by any party. ID. LEGAL I · Legal counsel has drafted the resolution and the Agreement. · Cornerstone, CSM Corporation, and C,ity legal counsel have all reviewed and are comfortable with the License Agreement. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I · Approved the License Agreement with modifications. . Deny the License Agreement. I V. ATTACHMENTS . Resolution . License Agreement . Map I VI.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Approve an amendment to the City;s Comprehensive Plan designating 6745 Blaisdell Avenue as "auasi-public" (4/5 vote reauired). I II. BACKGROUND I The Church of St. Peter (St. Peter's), located at 6730 Nicollet Avenue, has an opportunity to purchase the vacant lot located at 6745 Blaisdell Avenue. St. Peter's wishes to purchase the lot for use as an outdoor recreation area. An amendment to St. Peter's conditional use permit was approved unanimously by the Planning Commission on September 24,2007 and by the City Council on October 9,2007. This approval was contingent upon approval of an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan which would change the designation of the property at 6745 Blaisdell Avenue from "single-family residential" to "quasi-public." 102307 - 6745 Blaisdell Comp Plan Amend I III. While the City's Zoning Code allows institutional uses in single-family districts, the Comprehensive Plan calls such uses out separately. This is something that will be remedied as part of the Comprehensive Plan update process that is currently underway. In the meantime, St. Peter's is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to allow their project to move forward. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . The State requires that Zoning Codes and Comprehensive Plans be consistent. The current inconsistency will be remedied during the larger update process; however, in the meantime this amendment will allow St. Peter's to proceed. . The Metropolitan Council must approve all amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. . Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan require a 4/5 vote of the Council. . . I C. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . The land designation indicated in the Comprehensive Plan is inconsistent with the Zoning Code. The proposed amendment will remedy this. FmANC~L I . All required fees have been paid. I D. LEGAL I .

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Adopt attached resolution denying the appeal from the decision of the Hearing Examiner and affirming the Hearing Examiner's decision to deny a variance for a reduced side yard setback at 7238 Blaisdell Avenue. I II. BACKGROUND I The applicant is in the process of constructing an addition to their home. This addition will include an attached garage. The plans originally approved by the Building Inspections Department on June 26,2007 include an attached garage that meets the required five-foot setback. Subsequent to this approval, the applicant applied to the City for a variance to reduce the required setback to allow the construction of a larger garage. A hearing was conducted on September 18, 2007 before Hearing Examiner Murray (see attached Minutes). . 102307 - 7238 Blaisdell Variance Appeal . Hearing Examiner Murray denied the request for the variance because it did not meet the City and State requirements for granting a variance. The applicant was notified of their right to petition the Board of Adjustment and Appeals ("the Board") to have the case reconsidered by the Board. Mr. John Radmanovich, contractor for the homeowners, sent a letter requesting an appeal on their behalf. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDA nON I I A. POLICY I . Section 546.03, Subdivision 4 of the Zoning Code states that the Board (of Adjustments and Appeals) shall have the power to hear and decide appeals of any decision made final by a Hearing Examiner. . Section 521.11, Subdivision 2 of the Zoning Code states that in the R (single-family) District, homes are required to maintain a five-foot setback from interior side lot lines. . Section 521.11 Subdivision 8(c) allows the interior side setback to be reduced to three feet for single-family homes existing on or before June 1, 1995, for the purpose of constructing an attached garage, provided the following conditions are met. o A letter of consent signed by the owner of the property which abuts the interior lot line shall be submitted to the City; o The garage shall be located a distance of not less than eight feet from any building on an abutting lot; o The width of the garage shall not exceed 20'-feet, and the length shall not exceed 26 feet; o The garage wall most parallel and adjacent to the interior lot line shall have no more than a one-foot roof overhang (eave projection); o The garage wall most parallel and adjacent to the interior lot line shall be constructed with no openings, and with materials which provide a one hour fire rating; and o A drainage plan shall be approved by the City Engineer's office prior to issuance of building permits. . The applicants do not meet these requirements, as follows: o The single-family home in its current condition, did not exist prior to June 1, 1995. The applicants are in the process of constructing an addition to their home. The desired garage could be constructed if the addition size had been reduced. The applicant has created this situation. o The width of the proposed garage exceeds 20-feet. The applicant can construct a 21.25-foot wide garage without any variance. . State Statute 462.357 requires that an applicant meet four criteria in order to be granted a variance. The applicant must meet all four of the following requirements: . . . lB. . o Undue hardship, which denies the applicant reasonable use of their property. o A unique circumstance related to the property. o No adverse impacts on the neighborhood. o The request is the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the undue hardship. CRITICAL ISSUES I . Hearing Examiner Murray found that the proposal did not meet the necessary requirements and therefore denied the requested variance. . The findings of Hearing Examiner Murray are as follows: o There is no undue hardship which denies the applicant reasonable use of the property. The applicant can construct a 21.25-foot wide attached 2-car garage that meets the setback requirement of 5-feet. o There are no unique circumstances related to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and the circumstances were created by the applicant. The applicants' lot is 75-feet wide, wider than many lots in Richfield. The property is not oddly shaped nor constrained by topography. The applicants are in the process of constructing an addition to their home that creates this situation. o There would be no adverse impacts on the neighborhood. o The variance requested is not the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the undue hardship because there is no undue hardship present. . According to City and State regulations, "economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship." Therefore, the applicants' suggestion that denial of the variance impacts the resale value of their home and creates an undue hardship does not fulfill this requirement. I C. FINANCIAL . The required fee has been paid. ID. . LEGAL I . Notice of this hearing was published in accordance with City and State regulations. . 60-DAY RULE: 60 day clock 'started' when complete application was received on September 5, 2007. A decision must be given to the applicant by November 4, 2007, OR the Council must notify the applicant that it is extending the deadline (up to a maximum of 60 additional days or 120 days total) for issuing a decision. . . .

RESOLUTION DENYING THE APPEAL FROM THE DECISION OF THE HEARING EXAMINER AND AFFIRMING THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION TO DENY A VARIANCE FOR A REDUCED SIDE YARD SETBACK AT 7238 BLAISDELL AVENUE Be it resolved by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals of the City of Richfield, Minnesota as follows: I. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals hereby makes the following findings of fa ct: FINDINGS OF FACT . 4, 5. 6. 7. 8. 1. The City of Richfield (the "City") regulates, by ordinance, the setback requirements of buildings. 2. The primary source of such regulations is contained in Appendix B of the Richfield City Code, which is also known as the Richfield Zoning Code. 3. On or about SeptemberS, 2007 the City received an application from John Radmanovich, contractor for Mr. & Mrs. Tolle (the "Applicant"), 7238 Blaisdell Avenue, requesting a variance to allow reduction of the five-foot setback requirement to three- feet for construction of an attached garage. The property at 7238 Blaisdell Avenue is located in the Single Family Residential (R) zoning district. Subsection 521.11, Subdivision 2 of the Richfield Zoning Code requires single-family homes to be set back no less than five-feet from interior side lot lines. On September 18,2007, the Hearing Examiner conducted a public hearing on the variance request. On or about September 21,2007, the Hearing Examiner published a written decision denying the variance request. On or about October 1, 2007, the City received a written request (the "Appeal") to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals (the "Board") to consider an appeal of the decision of the Hearing Examiner. 9. The appeal came before the Board for review and action on October 23,2007. The Board conducted a public hearing, at which the Applicant was provided the opportunity to testify. II. The Board hereby makes the following conclusions: CONCLUSIONS . 1. The Applicant has not shown that compliance with the provisions of Zoning Code Subsection 521.11, Subdivision 2 will result in an undue hardship that denies the Applicant the reasonable use of the property. The applicant can construct a two-car attached garage without a variance. Future resale value does not constitute undue hardship. 2. The Applicant has not demonstrated that any unusual or unique circumstances apply to the property that does not apply to other properties generally. The applicant has created the circumstances under which they cannot construct a 23' - 4 %" garage. 1 02307 - 7238 Blaisdell Variance Appeal . . . '7.- d.- 3. The variance, if granted, would not alter the character of the neighborhood; however, the granting of this variance may set a precedent for the City to allow setbacks reductions without meeting the required findings of fact. 4. The variance is not the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the undue hardship, as no undue hardship exists. III. Based upon the foregoing, the Board hereby makes the following decision: DECISION The appeal of the decision by the Hearing Examiner to allow a reduction of the required five-foot interior setback to two feet for the construction of an attached garage at 7238 Blaisdell Avenue is hereby in all respects DENIED. The decision of the Hearing Examiner is affirmed, and the variance is denied. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 23rd day of October 2007.

Notice of public hearing was proper. Notice was published in the Sun- Current and mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the site as required by City Ordinance. The ten day notice requirement was also met. 2. The street address and legal description of the property in question are as follows: 7238 Blaisdell Ave S; Lot 7, Block 2, Nicollet Terrace, Hennepin County, Minnesota. 3. The zoning of the site in question is 'R' Single-Family Residential. 4. The variance requested is from section 521.11 subd. 2 of the 1999 zoning code. The variance would allow the reduction of an interior setback from five feet to th ree feet. 5. The reason for the request is to allow the applicant to construct a 23.25- foot wide attached garage. 6. A decision is being made with.in 60 days of the submission of a complete application. The applicant submitted a complete application on September 5, 2007, requiring a decision by November 4, 2007. DETERMINATIONS Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357, Subdivision 6, provides for the granting of variances to the literal provisions of the zoning regulations in instances where their enforcement would cause undue hardship to the owners of the property under consideration. In determining whether to grant or deny the requested variance, I specifically make the following conclusions: Variance Decision -1- C,o 7238 Blaisdell Ave S Page 2 1. Would strict enforcement of the literal provisions of the ordinance cause undue hardship, because th~ property could not reasonably be used under the conditions of the official controls? I conclude: Strict e'1forcement of Richfield zoning code section 521.11 Subd. 2 would not cause undue hardship. The applicant is able to construct an attached two-car garage with a width of 21.25-feet without any variances. The des:ire to have a larger garage is not considered a hardship. Undue hardship includes, but is not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. 2. Are there unique circumstances or unusual conditions affecting the property or building which were not created by the landowner? I conclude: There are no unique or unusual conditions affecting this property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity. The property is rectangular with no unusual topography or other conditions. Additionally the property is 75 feet wide, wider than many lots within the City's single-family district. Further, the applicants are in the process of constructing an addition to their home that will abut the attached garage. If a larger garage was desired, the proposed addition should have been revised so as to provide adequate room for said garage. The circumstances are self-created. 3. Will the granting of the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood or locality? I conclude: Granting the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. 4. Is the variance being requested the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the undue hardship? I conclude: This requirement is not met, as there is no undue hardship present. DECISION Based upon the determinations, the request is DENIED. STIPULATIONS: NONE Variance Decision 7238 Blaisdell Ave S Page 3 7-1 ~ NOTE: THIS VARIANCE WILL EXPIRE ONE YEAR AFTER THE DA TE ISSUED UNLESS THE CONSTRUCTION WORK REQUIRING THE VARIANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. APPEALS Any party not in agreement with the decision of the Hearing Examiner may appeal the decision by delivering a notice of appeal within ten days of the date the decision is filed. The appeal shall be to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals c/o Community Development Director, 6700 Portland Avenue South, Richfield, MN 55423 .. ~~ HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RICHFIELD ~ DATE: 11 bl/I.<c> 0-, Copy: Nancy Gibbs, City Clerk Rick Regnier, Building Official ~ 1-? ~ ....... . HEARING EXAMINER MINUTES. September 18, 2007 HEARING EXAMINER: STAFF PRESENT: ALSO PRESENT: Connie Murray Melissa Poehlman, Planning & Zoning Administrator Mr. & Mrs. Tolle John Radmanovich of Land Images, Inc. Mayor Goettel The meeting was called to order by Hearing Examiner Murray at 5:39 p.m. Hearing Examiner Murray described the hearing examiner process stating that the decision is not made at the public hearing. She also stated that interested parties would be notified in writing of the decision within 60 days after the applicant submitted a complete application. ITEM #1 CASE 07-V AR-07, 7238 Blaisdell Avenue John Radmanovich, applicantlbuilder Variance from side setback requirements for an attached garage. ~ Planning & Zoning Administrator Poehlman reviewed the staff report, stating that the criteria for granting a variance are not present and staff recommends denial. Poehlman also stated that staff has not received any phone calls from neighbors regarding this request. Mayor Goettel arrived, introduced herself to Hearing Examiner Murray and stated that she knows Mr. & Mrs. Tolle. The applicant and owners stated that the hardship and unusual circumstances present were related to the eventual resale of the home, the fact that the adjacent neighbor does not oppose the proposal, an inability to increase the depth of the garage due to a large tree, and the fact that a five-foot setback leaves five feet of unusable space between the garage and the lot line. Hearing Examiner Murray asked staff what the City considers a standard two-car garage width. ~ Planning & Zoning Administrator Poehlman responded 20 feet. She also responded that whether or not setbacks are set at appropriate distances throughout the City is a larger issue that can be addressed by the City Council if it wishes to do so. The issue before the Hearing Examiner tonight is whether or not the proposal meets the four criteria necessary to grant a variance. Staff s position is that the criteria are not met. 1-1 Mr. Radmanovich stated that there are garages with two-foot setbacks in the City and that they were granted variances so this variance should also be granted. Poehlman responded that it is not possible to address the cases that Mr. Radmanovich is discussing without knowing the particulars. Every variance case is different and perhaps in some cases the criteria have been met. In the past, detached garage setbacks may also have been less than five feet. In that case the zoning ordinance and State laws allow for their replacement and repair and in some instances expansion. Those cases would not require a variance. It is not appropriate to discuss other properties without knowing all of the details. Mayor Goettel stated that she knows the Tolle's and would like to know what the process is for appealing the decision of the Hearing Examiner. Poehlman stated that the applicants could appeal the decision of the Hearing Examiner to the City Council. The City Council would have to find that the four criteria necessary for granting a variance are present.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: . Approve the bid minutes and tabulation and award of contract to Prestige Builders of MN in the amount of $247,600.00 I II. BACKGROUND .1 Fire Station #2, located at 6401 Penn Avenue" was built in 1963. In 1984 the building was remodeled and reroofed, The roof has now exceeded its life expectancy. In addition, boiler replacement and ventilation upgrades are need. The revised budget presented to the Council this summer contained $100,000.00 in 2007 and $75,000.00 in 2008 for needed repairs. t Bonestroo and Associates was hired to evaluate the building, recommend improvements and put together bid specifications to replace the roof, improve the ventilation and replace the boiler. During the design process the engineers 1023FireStation 2 ~ discovered that the electrical panel was obsolete, the brick exterior needed tuckpointing, and leaking windows needed replacement. Specifications were prepared to make all the needed repairs as listed in the bid tabulation (attached): . Base bid (roof, ventilation, boiler, windows): Alternate 1 (Electrical Panel) Alternate 2 (Tuckpointing) TOTAL $218,000 $ 4,600 $ 25,000 $247,600 I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . A bid opening was held on October 4, 2007 for the improvements at Fire Station #2. . Prestige Builders of MN was the lowest responsible bidder and is an established contractor that meets all of the City's requirements. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . Many of the improvements needed are necessary to aid in providing a healthy and safe environment for the firefighters as well as to protect the investment in the Fire Station. . Approval at the October 23, 2007, Council meeting will allow the repairs to begin immediately. . I C. FrnANCIAL I . Funding for this project is provided in the Building Services Budget; $100,000 in the 2007 Revised Capital Improvement Budget and $175,000 in the Proposed 2008 Capital Improvement Budget. These amounts will pay for the engineering fees in addition to the construction contracts. I D. LEGAL I . The ad for bid was published in the Sun Current on Sept. 20, 2007 and the Construction Bulletin on September 17, 2007. . All contracts or purchases over $50,000 require sealed bids to be solicited by public notice. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . Council could reject all bids and delay the project at this time. This is not recommended due to health and safety issues. . . Council could reject all bids and instruct staff to re-advertise. It is the opinion of staff that the bid submitted by Prestige Builders of MN is reasonable and responsible. . Council could accept the base bid without the alternates to save money at this time but staff believes it will just cost us more to do these repairs in the future if we defer them now. . I V.
