CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 138
Agenda June 9, 1997
1/
Issue Statement:
Consideration of award of contract and final decision to proceed with construction of the
Ice Arena Expansion (Hat Trick Hockey Lease) Project.
Background:
On February 24, 1997 the City Council authorized the general terms of a lease agreement
with Hat Trick Hockey for a proposed addition to the Richfield Ice Arena and for staff to
proceed with an advertisement for bids for the project. The terms of the lease and the
decision to proceed were based upon the architect's estimate of $208,000 for the addition
and an additional $20,000 for the construction of a vestibule at the main entrance of the
arena. The vestibule would be a functional enhancement to the arena due at least in part
to the new addition and the cost was to be split between the City and Hat Trick Hockey.
The total project costs of $228,000 were to be funded by the City and partially recovered
through a six -year lease agreement for retail space with Hat Trick Hockey for the addition.
Bids for the project were opened on May 29, with the following results:

. CM Construction Company was the low bidder for the project with a total bid of $256,292.
The low bid, which exceeded the architect's estimate by $28,292, should be viewed in the
following components:
Total Bid: $256,292
Less: Vestibule 24,701
Power closer for vestibule 3,028
Fire sprinkler for existing building 3,000
Hat Trick Hockey Addition: $225,563
Hat Trick Hockey is not in a financial position to proceed with this project with the same
configuration of financial responsibility for the construction as was approved in February.
Mr. Sachs, the owner of Hat Trick Hockey, is requesting that the City assume the entire
cost of constructing the vestibule (including power door closer). Mr. Sachs paid the entire
$5,000 architectural fee for drawings of the vestibule as well as another $15,000 for
architectural drawings and bid documents for the ice arena addition. The architectural
fees are not included in the costs outlined above.
In addition, the City had previously indicated to Mr..Sachs that the fire sprinkler system is
a cost the City would assume irrespective of the current construction. Thus, Mr. Sachs
has requested that his lease obligations be based on a figure of $225,563.
• The payment schedule that Mr. Sachs feels he would be in a financial position to meet
based on a construction cost of $225,563, would fall slightly short of the annual rates of
return approved in the Council Letter of February 24. The proposed new payment
schedule and the rates of return comparison to the February schedule is as follows:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6
February rate of return: 7.00% 7.50% 8.10% 9.00% 10.30% 12.00%
New rate of return: 6.94% 7.35% 7.95% 8.81% 9.94% 11.72%
Base monthly payment: $1,740 $1,795 $1,870 $1,980 $2,120 $2,340
Loss of revenue: $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300
Maintenance: 25 25 25 30 35 40
Monthly payment to City: $2,065 $2,120 $2,195 $2,310 $2,455 $2,680
The funds to provide for the payment of the construction would be obtained by a
structured loan from an internal City fund, such as the Self Insurance Fund of the Cable
Television Fund.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the bid minutes /tabulations and award the ice arena addition contract to the low
bidder, CM Construction of Burnsvile, MN in the amount of $256,292 and authorize the
City Manager to proceed with the revised terms of the lease agreement with Hat Trick
• Hockey, Inc.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Tom Sachs, owner of Hat Trick Hockey, has engaged an architect and paid
approximately $20,000 in architectural fees to procure plans and specifications for the
proposed ice arena addition; the project has been advertised for bids; and bids have
been received and opened.
2. The project cost and terms of the originally approved project and lease terms have
changed due to the bids exceeding the architect's estimate.
3. In order for the City to proceed with this project, Mr. Sachs is seeking the City to pay
for the entire cost of the vestibule and accept a slightly reduced rate of return for the
term of the six year lease.
4. The construction of the vestibule would enhance the overall use of the ice arena and
make the facility more energy efficient.
5. If Hat Trick Hockey discontinued the lease of the building during the term of the lease
or the City chose not to lease the facility after the first six year period, the addition
could be used for a number of City purposes.
6. CM Construction has worked with the City before and has been an acceptable
contractor.
. Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could reject all bids and stop the project at this. point. The City has no
obligation to Mr. Sachs to continue with the project.
2. The City Council could reject all bids at this time and re -bid the project at a later date in .
the hopes that construction costs would be lower. However, Mr. Sachs may not be in. a
position to delay this project.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
If the City Council is inclined to proceed with this project, Mr. Sachs is in a position to
proceed at this time. Any delays in the project would have an adverse impact on his
business, causing him to move operations and opening a new facility during the peak of
the hockey season.
Respectfully submitted,
eve . Devich

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 137
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
First reading consideration of an ordinance amendment to the Richfield City Code
relating to the administrative procedure for the opening of competitive bids submitted to
the City.
Background:
Subsection 315.03, Subd. 2 of the City Code currently requires that competitive bids
submitted to the City be opened by the City Clerk with the City Manager and one
Department Director present. There is a need to provide the authority to allow alternate
administrative staff members to be designated in the absence of the City Manager, City
Clerk, or Department Director for the purpose of opening competitive bids.
The current ordinance does not provide for the designation of alternate staff people to
conduct bid openings when the City Manager, City Clerk, or Department Director is not
available. The effect of this ordinance amendment would allow a respective designee
to act as a member of the administrative staff for the opening of bids in the absence of
the City Manager, City Clerk, and /or Department Director.
Recommended Motion:
To approve first reading consideration of an ordinance amending Subsection 315.03,
subd. 2 of the Richfield Code relating to administrative procedure for competitive bids
and schedule the public hearing and second reading for July 14, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It is necessary to provide the authority to designate alternative staff people to
conduct bid openings in the absence of the City Manager, City Clerk, or
Department Director.
2. The proposed amendment would maintain the integrity of the process.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could decide not to amend the ordinance and keep the ordinance
as it now is constructed.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
This item has been scheduled for June 9th for first reading consideration.

Council Letter No. 136
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
First reading of a transitory ordinance to authorize the sale of City -owned property
within Lot 2, Block 3, Cloverleaf Addition to the Richfield HRA for Meridian Crossings
Project, Phase If.
Background:
During the period 1989 -1991, the HRA, on behalf of the City, purchased several
residential properties on the west side of old Emerson Avenue that abutted the
Cloverleaf site. These properties .along with a portion of the Cloverleaf site were then
transferred to the City for the 77th Street road improvement project. After all necessary
takings within this area were made for the project, residual land along with the
Cloverleaf site were platted to form the Cloverleaf Addition.
During the title review process for the sale of the Cloverleaf site from the HRA to TOLD,
developer of Meridian Crossings, it was noted that a boundary discrepancy exists within
Lot 2, Block 3, Cloverleaf Addition (Phase II of Meridian Crossings) and is under the
ownership of the City. The subject area is small triangular piece, 249.85 square feet in
size, that once abutted the Cloverleaf site as a part of a residential property purchased
for the 77th Street project. In order to correct the boundary line of Lot 2, Block 3,
Cloverleaf Addition, the City must convey the small triangular area back to the HRA.
The sale and boundary line correction will enable the HRA to convey Lot 2, Block 3,
Cloverleaf Addition to TOLD for Phase II of Meridian Crossings free of this defect.
As the subject area was part of the 77th Street Project funded by MSA, certain MSA
rules must be adhered to. Essentially, these rules require that land sale proceeds from
the disposition of land be based on a fair market value established by a professional
appraiser. The area has a value of $976.86 which the HRA must reimburse to the City
in order to acquire the parcel.
The attached site plan at Exhibit A indicates the residential lot that the City obtained for
the 77th Street project and the triangular piece which is to be conveyed back to the
HRA to correct the boundary discrepancy. Note that the lot purchased is now mainly
77th Street right of way with the exception of the subject area and the northeast corner,
which is part of Lot 1, Block 2, Cloverleaf Addition. Exhibit B provides the legal
description for the subject area. The conveyance of the land from the City to the HRA
will be made by quit claim deed.
•
9 -/
• Recommended Motion:
The Council is asked to (a) conduct the first reading of the transitory ordinance which
authorizes the sale of the City -owned property legally described in Exhibit B to the
Richfield HRA; and (b) set a public hearing and second reading of the transitory
ordinance for July 14, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City purchased certain land for the 77th Street improvement project and
platted certain residual lands after the necessary takings as well as the Cloverleaf
site to form the Cloverleaf Addition.
2. A boundary discrepancy impacting Lot 2, Block 3, Cloverleaf Addition must be
corrected so that the HRA may provide clear title to the developer of Meridian
Crossings for Phase IL
3. The City's legal counsel reviewed this matter and is of the opinion that no adverse
impact exists making the boundary correction.
4. The fair market value for the subject area is $976.86.
5. Pending City Council authorization of conveyance of the subject land to the HRA,
correction to the boundary discrepancy will be made once the transitory ordinance
• becomes effective.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council may choose not to convey the land to the HRA at this time. However,
this will impact the conveyance of Lot 2, Block 3, Cloverleaf Addition to the developer of
Phase II, Meridian Crossings.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
The first reading of the transitory ordinance will initiate the land sale process to the
HRA. A public hearing and second reading of the transitory ordinance is proposed to
be held on July 14, 1997. Publication of the transitory ordinance would occur shortly
thereafter and would be effective 30 days after publication. The sale transaction to the
HRA could occur after this effective date, proposed as August 21, 1997. (This is a
housekeeping item. The sale by the HRA to TOLD of the Phase II parcel is hnot-being
initiated at this time.)

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 135
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
First reading consideration of an ordinance extending the moratorium on regulating and
licensing of tattoo businesses within the City for one additional year.
Background:
On April 8, 1996, the City Council approved first reading of an interim ordinance
authorizing a study to be conducted pertaining to tattoo businesses within the City. On
that same date, Council approved a resolution proposing a moratorium for a period of
one year, with the option of extending the moratorium for a total additional period of 18
months. The one year moratorium is scheduled to expire on June 21, 1997. The
purpose of the moratorium was to allow the Planning Commission and the Advisory
Board of Health to study relevant issues, including: 1) Should tattoo parlors be licensed
within the City of Richfield; 2) If licensing requirements are established, what should be
included in the regulations; and, 3) Should tattoo parlors be limited regarding their
location.
The Advisory Board of Health has been studying this issue and will be reviewing a final
draft of a tattoo ordinance at their June 16, 1997 meeting. It is necessary to request an
extension of the tattoo moratorium because if the Advisory Board of Health gives final
approval to the ordinance on June 16, 1997, they will not be prepared to present it to
the City Council until July 14, 1997, which would be after the original moratorium
expiration date of June 21, 1997.
Recommended Motion:
Approve first reading of an ordinance extending the moratorium on regulating and
licensing of tattoo businesses within the City for one additional year, as established in
Bill No. 1996 -12 Transitory Ordinance No. 17.66, and set the public hearing and second
reading for July 14, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The extension would allow sufficient time to complete the study and adopt any
necessary amendments to the City's zoning and licensing regulations.
2. The interim ordinance was adopted for the purpose of protecting the planning
process and the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City.
3. Extension of this moratorium ordinance complies with State law.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council may decide not to extend the moratorium.
Discussion /Decision Mode: .
This matter will be presented for action at the City Council meeting of June 9, 1997.

Council Letter No. 134
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Public hearing regarding a request for a conditional use permit to allow a business
establishment over 2,500 square feet in a C -1 (neighborhood commercial) district.
Background:
The applicant, Rabby Motilall, is proposing to purchase the 7,000 square foot shopping
center at 7120 -28 Chicago Avenue and operate a grocery and video store. The store
would occupy two of the existing tenant spaces for a total of 3,500 square feet. Three
of five of the current tenants would continue to occupy space in the center. Thirty -two
parking spaces would be provided on the site.
The store will offer both "American" and West Indian food as well as "American" videos.
The shopping center is located in a C -1, neighborhood commercial, zoning district
which allows for businesses designed to serve the neighborhood. The availability of
West Indian food may draw people from outside the immediate neighborhood; however,
the primary customer draw will likely be from the neighborhood.
The Engineering Division recommends that several improvements be made to the
parking lot to bring it into compliance with current City standards. These items included
installation of a catch basin and installation and relocation of curb and gutter. City staff
is also looking at ways to encourage more substantial improvements in this
neighborhood commercial facility.
The existing signs on the building are roof signs, prohibited by the City's sign
ordinance. The applicant has been informed that the signs are subject to the City's
amortization provision and need to be brought into compliance by October 4, 1997.
Neighbors of the shopping center expressed some concerns about the proposed store
at the Planning Commission hearing. Their concerns included hours of operation,
potential for increased crime, increased traffic, timing of truck deliveries, and impact of
the video portion of the business. In response, the Planning Commission limited the
hours of operation, timing of deliveries, and prohibited the installation of a video drop
box.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the conditional use permit to allow a business establishment over 2,500
square feet in a C -1 district with the following stipulations:
That location and screening of all trash enclosures be approved by the Health
Inspector and Community Development Director.
2. That all signage meet sign ordinance regulations by October 4, 1997.
3. That a lighting plan be submitted and approved by the Community Development
Director.
4. That a plan for making improvements to the parking lot be submitted to and
approved by the Public Works Director.
`?- j
. 5. That the hours of operation be limited to no earlier than 10 a.m. and no later than
8 p.m.
6. That no drop box be installed for the purpose of returning videos outside of store
hours.
7. That all deliveries occur during the store's hours of operation.
8. That a conditional use permit resolution be recorded with the County, pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes Section 462.36, subdivision 1.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The current Zoning Ordinance limits the size of permitted neighborhood business
establishments to 2,500 square feet. Any establishment over 2,500 square feet
requires a conditional use permit.
2. The proposed grocery and video store is an appropriate neighborhood commercial
use designed to serve area residents.
3. The size of the shopping center and the amount of parking will remain the same,
and the grocery and video store (retail uses) are replacing retail uses.
4. Adequate parking is available for the shopping center. City standards require 28
spaces; 32 spaces are provided.
5. Notice of the hearing was published in the Sun - Current and mailed to property
owners and occupants within 350 feet of the subject property.
6. On May 27, 1997 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the conditional use permit.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the request with a finding that the proposal would have an adverse impact on
adjacent properties or the City as a whole.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Monday, June 9, 1997. The hearing will
be held in the City Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.

Council Letter No. 133
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Public hearing regarding a request for a conditional use permit to allow use of 1201
East 66th Street as a public mechanical garage.
Background:
The applicant is proposing to operate an automotive repair business, Exhaust Pros, at
1201 East 66th Street. The property received a conditional use permit in 1995 to be
used for an auto detailing business. Because auto repair involves a more intensive use
of the property, a separate conditional use permit is required.
The existing building contains two repair bays. Eleven parking spaces will be provided
on site. The applicant plans to paint the building and recoat the parking lot.
There were originally four curb cuts to the property and for several years staff has
recommended closing the two cuts nearest to the intersection. The two cuts were
finally closed last summer; however, the interior curbing was not completed.
Landscape stone has been installed in the corner to cover up where the interior curbing
is incomplete. The area has also been filled in with dirt to provide a small space for
landscaping. Additional landscaping could be provided in the boulevard with a permit.
There is currently no landscaping on the property, although a landscape plan has been
required by the Council several times in the past.
Staff sees the work that was done as a temporary solution as it does not meet City
parking lot standards and does not go to the extent needed to improve the appearance
of the property. Recognizing the cost of redoing the site, the Planning Commission
recommended that staff and the applicant work out a plan to make appropriate site
improvements within an 18 month period of time. Due to problems with getting the
improvements made in the past, staff recommends that the applicant or property owner
submit a cash escrow or letter of credit to cover the cost of the long term improvements.
Under the previous occupancy, Public Safety received numerous complaints about the
property regarding debris, inoperable vehicles, long grass and weeds and the general
appearance of the business. The occupants were slow to respond to requests for code
compliance. Staff recommends that stricter conditions relating to the operation of the
business and property be tied to the conditional use permit so that the City Council can
revoke the conditional use permit if any future code violations are not addressed.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the conditional use permit to allow use of 1201 East 66th Street for automotive
irepair with the following stipulations:
(0-/
1. That the parking lot be striped and a handicapped space marked and signed
appropriately.
2. That a plan, acceptable to staff, for providing appropriate interior curbing with
parking lot setbacks be developed by July 11, 1997 and that the plan be fully
implemented no later than November 30, 1998.
3. That a landscaping plan for installing and maintaining landscaping in conjunction
with the parking lot improvements agreed to in stipulation #2 be developed by the
applicant and staff.
4. That a cash escrow or letter of credit be submitted for the cost of the
improvements in stipulations #2 and #3 to ensure that the improvements are
completed.
5. That the building exterior be repainted a neutral color.
6. That the hours of operation be limited to no earlier than 8 a.m. and no later than 6
p.m.
7. That any neon lights be turned off when the business is closed.
8. That there be no exterior overnight storage.
9. That a wall pack light, with shielding, be installed above the service bay doors.
10. That the trash dumpster be kept inside the building or an enclosure constructed
according to code specifications (Section 541.17).
11. That the building meet building code requirements for an H -4 occupancy (Uniform
Building Coce classification for structures, such as repair garages, containing
hazardous materials and /or activities).
12. That vehicles which are inoperable shall not be stored on the premises.
13. That parking of vehicles on public right -of -way shall be prohibited.
14. That all repair, assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of vehicles shall occur
within an enclosed building.
15. That a resolution be recorded with the County, pursuant to Minnesota statutes
section 462.36, subdivision 1.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The proposed automotive use is consistent with past uses of the property; the
building was built for an automotive use.
s
2. The site provides eleven parking spaces; City parking standards require eight
spaces for a repair garage with two service bays.
3. A plan to make appropriate site improvements in the near future would be
developed by the applicant and staff.
4. Notice of the hearing was published in the Sun - Current and mailed to property
owners and occupants within 350 feet of the subject property.
5. On May 27, 1997 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the conditional use permit.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the request with a finding that the proposal would have an adverse impact on
adjacent properties or the City as a whole.

Council Letter No. 132
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Public hearing regarding a request for a conditional use permit to allow construction of
three townhome units at 7600 Emerson Avenue, a R (single family residential) district.
Background:
Rockport Homes and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority are proposing to
construct three townhome units at 7600 Emerson Avenue. The property is zoned R
(single family residential), but the proposed townhome is a cluster housing development
which is a conditional use in the R district.
Cluster housing is permitted in the R district if the project design is compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. The proposed size, roof lines and building materials are
consistent with other single family homes in the neighborhood. The units are
individualized giving them more of a single family character. In addition, the proximity
of the site next to an arterial street makes it an appropriate location for attached forms
of housing.
Cluster housing developments are permitted some flexibility in setback requirements to
allow for creativity in the layout of the developments. The proposed townhomes meet
all side and rear setbacks. The front setback, however, varies from 25 feet to 32 feet,
where the standard requirement is 30 feet. The reduced setback is supported by the
following site and design conditions:
The lot is triangular in shape making it more difficult to fit the units on the site.
The front building line is staggered to individualize the units and soften the impact of
the front wall.
The reduced front setback allows the units to be located further from the 77th Street
sound wall, which runs along the southeast property line.
Landscaping will be provided in accordance with Richfield Rediscovered design
guidelines. In addition, most of the existing mature trees on the site will be preserved.
A question was raised at the Planning Commission hearing whether or not tax
increment financing was or would be used in relationship to the development of the
townhomes. Tax increment financing is not being used.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the conditional use permit to allow construction of three townhome units at
7600 Emerson Avenue with the following stipulations:
1. That the project comply with Richfield Rediscovered design guidelines.
5=I
2. That a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions be executed and
recorded as approved by the City Attorney.
3. That a common element subdivision plan be developed and filed for the parcel.
4. That the conditional use permit be recorded with the County, pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes Section 462.36, Subdivision 1.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The proposed attached housing is an appropriate land use in this transitional area
between an arterial street and a single family neighborhood.
2. The units are designed with a single family character which is compatible with the
existing neighborhood.
3. The reduced front setback meets the test required by the Zoning Ordinance in that
it would not negatively impact the neighborhood and a superior design is
achieved.
4. The placement of the units preserves many of the existing mature trees on the
site.
5. Notice of the hearing was published in the Sun - Current and mailed to property
owners and occupants within 350 feet of the subject property.
6. On April 30, the developer and staff met with neighbors within 350 feet of the site.
Their response was favorable to the proposal.
7. On May 27, 1997 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the conditional use permit.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the request with a finding that the proposal would have an adverse impact on
adjacent properties or the City as a whole.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Monday, June 9, 1997. The hearing will

DESIGN GUIDELINES
for Owner - Occupied Multi -unit Development
Quality Considerations:
• The property design should blend in with adjoining properties to the extent possible. The
house building lines, roof lines, door and window placement use to minimize blank wall
mass, and building orientation to the street, must present a balanced and pleasing view from
all sides.
• All sites must be fully landscaped, which includes complete sod installation and
appropriately placed plants and shrubs.
• In addition, the final grade of the property must improve, or not have a detrimental impact
on, storm water drainage patterns in the neighborhood. Reworking the existing site 17rade to
improve neighborhood drainage may be requested of the developer.
• . Mature trees existing on site must be retained to the extent possible.
Design Considerations:
• Each dwelling has a separate entrance.
• Provide separate areas for private leisure /outdoor living space.
• Garage offset for individuality as well as minimizing mass. Garages must be provided for
each living unit, attached or detached. The garage presence must be minimized in the overall
property appearance.
• Allow for future basement finishing for additional bedroom or living space.
• Main level laundry.
• Covered entry to dwelling and garage space.
• Separate service doors to garage, if possible.
• Appearance to blend with existing developments on block, whether single family, lower-
pitched roofs or other.
• Exterior materials should be low maintenance. Decorative brick is encouraged for character
and longevity. Hardboard siding materials are not acceptable.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 131
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading of a transitory ordinance to authorize the sale of
City -owned property at 7600 Emerson Avenue to the Richfield HRA for Richfield
Rediscovered site development.
Background:
At the May 12, 1997 meeting , the City Council heard the first reading of the ordinance
authorizing sale of the property at 7600 Emerson Avenue to the HRA. The property
was appraised by BCL Appraisals at $50,000. The parcel has approximately 19,600
square feet. The HRA has a developer and development concept for three attached,
owner - occupied townhomes, each having an end value in the $160,000 to $180,000
range. A copy of the preliminary development plan is attached.
Recommended Motion:
Conduct a public hearing and second reading of the transitory ordinance which
authorizes the sale of the City -owned property at 7600 Emerson to the Richfield HRA
for Richfield Rediscovered site development and authorize publication of the ordinance.
0 Basis of Recommendation
1. The property is residentially zoned and faces single family residential
development. The builder and HRA are applying for a conditional use permit for
the multi -unit use.
2. The HRA has a developer and development concept ready for implementation
and has authorized the purchase from the City.
3. The City purchased this property for the 77th Street Project using MSA funds.
MSA funds may only be used for road related purposes. MSA rules require that
land proceeds reflect the "highest and best use ". Thus, the 77th Street Project
cannot discount the sale price.
4. On April 30, the developer and staff met with neighbors of the site. They
responded favorably to the proposal.
5. The Planning Commission found the development consistent with the City's
comprehensive plan at its May 27 meeting.
6. Pending City Council authorization, development could begin in July 1997.
•
• Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council can choose not to sell to the HRA at this time. However, the HRA and
developer are prepared to proceed and the project continues to incur routine
maintenance expenses.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Timely sale of the property from the City to the HRA requires publication of a transitory
ordinance following the June 9, 1997 meeting. The ordinance would be effective July,
11, 1997.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 130
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a new 1997 taxi license for Minnesota Taxi, 7608 Knox Avenue.
Background:
On May 7, 1997, the City received a new application for a taxi license for 1997 from
Minnesota Taxi. The applicant has paid the required license fees.
This location was previously rented by Shari's RV Rental. LLC c/o Mark W. Nichols of
Bloomington, Minnesota is the current property owner. In 1996, Minnesota Taxi
obtained a conditional use permit to allow for parking on the premises.
There were two complaints in June 1996 regarding this location. The complaints
involved concerns regarding the number of vehicles parked in the lot. There have been
no complaints since that time.
Community Development staff have been contacted and all requirements have been
met.
• The Public Safety background investigation has been completed and reveals the
following:
• Gholam Shahrokhi is the owner of the business. He has no known criminal record.
• The certificate of liability insurance has been received and shows coverage by
American Reliable.
• The applicant will supply a list including the make, body style and year of each
vehicle to be operated by the applicant.
• The number of vehicles to be operating in Richfield will not exceed 50. There will be
no more than five vehicles parked at this location at any time. These vehicles are
currently licensed. Staff has also received approximately eight taxi driver
applications along with the required fees.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the request for a new 1997 taxi license for Minnesota Taxi, 7608 Knox
Avenue, with the following stipulation:
• 1. That the list of vehicles to be operating in the City is submitted by July 1, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It appears the applicant meets the standards set forth in the ordinance. The
applicant has also indicated their desire to comply with all codes and expectations
of the City.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the investigation
conducted, there appears to be no reason to deny the license requested.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide not to grant the license. This would result in the
applicant not being able to operate a taxi company in Richfield.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Recommendation to approve the application for a new taxi company license for
Minnesota Taxi, 7608 Knox Avenue, is presented for Council consideration at this time.

Council Letter No. 126
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Award of contract for bituminous milling and overlaying of 65th Street from Penn
Avenue to Xerxes Avenue.
Background:
Sixty -Fifth Street from Xerxes Avenue to Penn Avenue was reconstructed back in the
mid- 1970's. Since that time the road has received routine maintenance and has stayed
in good driving condition. Only in the last year has the surface condition rapidly
deteriorated to its present condition. The road's present condition is such that in a
number of areas, a large portion of the asphalt is breaking up and creating large
potholes. In the road's present condition it would not be cost effective to continue
routine and preventive maintenance to try to prolong the existing driving surface.
Instead, it has been determined that the best course of action would be to remove the
top two inches of asphalt by a milling operation after which a new two inch layer would
be placed.
Bids for the bituminous milling and overlaying of 65th Street from Penn Avenue to
Xerxes Avenue were opened on May 28, 1997. A copy of the bid minutes /tabulation is
attached.
Recommended Motion:
Accept the bid minutes /tabulation and award a contract to Ashbach Construction in the
amount of $30,306.28 for bituminous milling and overlaying of 65th Street from Penn
Avenue to Xerxes Avenue.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Ashbach Construction recently did the milling and overlaying of asphalt on
Lyndale Avenue from 74th Street to Lake Shore Drive and is a qualified
contractor.
2. State aid funds are available for this project.
3. The project is needed and is timely considering the road's present condition.
4. The bid is below the engineer's estimate of $39,000.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council could reject all bids; however, the price bid by Ashbach Construction is below
the engineers' estimate of costs and it is doubtful that better bid prices can be attained
by rebidding the project. Further delay will only worsen the condition of the street
where deeper damage could occur thus increasing the expense of repair.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for June 9, 1997 Council action. Action is requested at this time
to allow the least disruptive scheduling of the work.

the sum of $142,508.69 for the 1997 sealcoat project.
Basis of Recommendation:
. 1. Allied Blacktop Company submitted the lowest responsible bid.
2. The 1997 Street Maintenance budget contains adequate funds for the contractor
services on this project. The contractor's bid on estimated quantities and amounts
will be monitored.
Alternative Recommendation:

the prices received for this work are extremely good, and staff does not believe
lower prices can be obtained from a reputable contractor.
2. Council may choose to award a contract to another bidder. However, the bid
submitted by Allied Blacktop Company is a reasonable bid, within budget amounts,
submitted by a responsible bidder.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Staff is requesting approval at the June 9, 1997 Council meeting in order to facilitate the
contract paperwork required to allow the project to begin and end as scheduled.

Council Letter No. 124
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Award of contract for routing and sealing cracks in asphalt pavement for 1997.
Background:
The crack routing and sealing process involves grinding out (or routing) the cracks and
filling them with a special bituminous. crack sealing compound that prevents water from
penetrating to the gravel below. Since 1991, the cracks that have been sealed using
this process have remained effectively sealed. A map of the 1997 work area is
attached.
In 1995, Council approved an accelerated street maintenance program. This program
includes asphalt crack repair, asphalt milling and patching and sealcoating of all City
streets in five years.
On May 22, 1997 a bid opening was held for routing and sealing the 1998 sealcoat
area. A copy of the bid minutes is attached. The 1997 adopted Street Maintenance
budget contains $133,500 for the contract portion of routing and sealing cracks. The
contracts are based upon estimated quantities. Payments will be made on actual work
performed. Council would be authorizing contracts at the stated amounts, with the
stipulation that the contract documents allow variances.
Recommended Motion:
Accept the bid minutes /tabulation and award a contract to Daffinson Asphalt
Maintenance, Inc. in the amount of $77,677.40 to rout and seal cracks on asphalt
streets.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The bid from Daffinson Asphalt Maintenance, Inc. is the low bid.
2. The work is included in the 1997 Street Maintenance budget.
Alternative Recommendation:
1 _ The City Council may choose to reject all bids and direct staff to readvertise and
obtain new bids. However, the bids obtained are very reasonable, and staff does
not believe a better price from a reputable contractor could be obtained.
2. Council may choose to award a contract to another bidder. However, the bid
submitted by Daffinson Asphalt Maintenance, Inc. is a reasonable bid, within budget
amounts, submitted by a responsible bidder.
3c-
Disc ussion/Decision Mode:
Council may choose to delay award of this contract. However, the contract documents
allow the bidders to withdraw their bids after 60 days of the bid opening, and an
extended delay could result in the loss of construction season. Therefore, staff is
asking for approval at the June 9, 1997 Council meeting.

Council Letter No. 123
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Resolutions related to parking prohibitions on 12th Avenue from 1 -494 to 100 feet north
of 77th Street and authorizing City officials to proceed with an alternate bidding process
for signal revision.work.
Background:
City staff has received several requests from residents on 12th Avenue to discourage
traffic from continuing north on 12th Avenue through the 77th Street intersection. In
order to satisfy that concern as well as to move traffic more smoothly, City staff is
recommending that a leading left turn arrow be installed for northbound 12th Avenue at
77th Street.
The proposed signal revision work at 12th Avenue and 77th Street will produce a left
turn arrow for northbound traffic and the addition of a painted left turn lane for both
north and south approaches to the intersection. The force account procedure is
advantageous in this case because the work needs to be finished by the end of June
1997. This deadline has been set to permit the intersection of 12th Avenue and 77th
. Street to be used as part of a detour route for repair of the Portland Avenue bridge over
1 -494 in July.
The City will perform the work using a combination of City staff and contractors.
This roadway is part of the City's designated Municipal State Aid (MSA) system and,
therefore, requires Council approved parking restrictions rather than using the usual
method of using the Traffic Control Committee. A letter was sent to affected property
owners on May 30, 1997 informing them of the pending decision.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolutions which provide for parking restrictions on both sides of
12th Avenue from 1 -494 to 100 feet north of 77th Street and which authorize City
officials to use the force account procedure to perform the signal modification work at
the intersection of 12th Avenue and 77th Street.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City of Richfield is concerned about motorized and pedestrian traffic in the
immediate area and in the greater community which may be using City streets.
2. The high number of left turning vehicles traveling north on 12th Avenue-from 1 -494
to 77th Street require a wider roadway that precludes the use of the street for on-
street parking.
X45-1
. 3. The City's Municipal State Aid system includes 12th Avenue from 1 -494 to 76th
Street. Resolution related to parking restrictions is needed to obtain MSA funds.
4. The force account procedure will enable the City to perform the work in a timely
manner.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Permit parking at any time. However, the City's major roadways generally have
some type of parking prohibition. The roadways for which parking restrictions are
proposed are heavily traveled. Parking restrictions facilitate flow of motorized
traffic and provide increased safety for pedestrian traffic.
2. Provide different levels of parking restrictions than those proposed; i.e., allow
parking on Sundays. However, it is the opinion of staff that the parking
prohibitions outlined above and recommended in the attached resolution are
reasonable for the specified roadway, the roadway usage and location.
3. Submit the signal modification work to the formal advertisement procedure to
obtain bids. This process will add four to six weeks to the completion of the work
and be in conflict with the proposed schedule for repairing the Portland Avenue
bridge.
0 . 4. The proposed work will cost less than $15,000 according to the engineer's
estimate.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for action at the June 9, 1997 Council meeting. Council may
choose to delay action for further consideration or information from staff. However,
12th Avenue is scheduled for use as a detour route when the Portland Avenue bridge is
closed in early July for repair. A decision is needed on June 9, 1997 for the use of the
force account procedure to perform the proposed work. A decision on the parking
resolution is needed by no later than June 23, 1997.

Council Letter No. 122
Agenda June 9, 1997
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Edina for the 76th Street
west of 1 -35W Improvement Project.
Background:
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) permits Joint Powers
Agreements between entities using Municipal State Aid (MSA) as the funding source for
capital improvements. The proposed Joint Powers Agreement between the City of
Richfield and the City of Edina would permit the Edina to pay Richfield MSA funds to do
that portion of the resurfacing work on 76th Street located in the Edina as part of the
Richfield's 76th Street west of 1 -35W Improvement Project. A copy of the proposed
Joint Powers Agreement is attached for Council consideration. Both cities need to
approve the agreement which is then submitted to MnDOT for consideration.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the attached Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Richfield and the
City of Edina for purposes of funding 76th Street improvements west of I -35W.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City of Richfield and the City of Edina each have plans for improvement of 76th
Street with funding through MSA. Coordination of the work will provide the least
possible disruption to the communities and provide a project size anticipated to
provide economical unit prices. Because Richfield's project is larger, the City of
Richfield is in the best position to do the coordination of the two projects.
2. Approval of the Joint Powers Agreement is needed before the City of Richfield can
receive the City of Edina's MSA construction funds for its portion of the proposed
improvement to 76th Street west of I -35W.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not approve the Joint Powers Agreement thereby requiring each City to bid and
schedule its own project. This will dely the resurfacing of 76th Street.
2. Approve a Joint Powers Agreement for MSA funding of 76th Street west of 1 -35W
improvements only if the City of Edina serves as the coordinating agency. However,
the City of Richfield is far into the schedule for the project to the improve 76th Street
west of 1 -35W and the work to be done in the City of Richfield may be delayed if
Richfield is not the coordinator.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
A decision is needed June 9, 1997 to ensure timely reimbursement for costs incurred by
the City of Richfield on the 76th Street west of 1 -35W Improvement Project.
