Agenda November 24, 1997
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading of a transitory ordinance to authorize the sale of
City-owned property at 300 West 78th Street (former Lampert Lumber Site) for
redevelopment.
Background:
The City purchased the former Lampert Lumber site at 300 West 78th Street to
temporarily house certain Public Work functions and for future redevelopment. The
$450,000 to purchase the property were drawn from the City's capital projects fund.
On October 27, 1997, the City Council undertook. a first reading of the transitory
ordinance for the sale of the subject property and set a public hearing on the matter.
During this time period, offers for the purchase of the property were received from
several buyers representing the hotel industry.
On November 10, 1997, the City Council identified Candlewood Hotel Company as the
preferred buyer of the site and directed staff to negotiate a final purchase agreement
with the company. Staff is currently finalizing the purchase agreement for the sale of
the property and proposed redevelopment of the site for a new hotel. Aland sale
closing will take place sometime during the first half of 1998.
Recommended Motion:
Following the public hearing, the City Council is requested to (a) adopt the transitory
ordinance which authorizes the sale of the City-owned property described in the
attached ordinance; and (b) direct appropriate staff to undertake the publication of the
transitory ordinance in order to effectuate the sale of the property; and (c) adopt the
attached resolution which. designates the use of the sale proceeds for the new City
garage.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City purchased the former Lampert Lumber site in 1992.
2. A first reading of the transitory ordinance for the sale of the property was undertaken
by the City Council on October 27, 1997.
3. On November 10, 1997, the City Council approved Candlewood Hotel Company as
the buyer of the site for a proposed hotel and directed staff to finalize a purchase
agreement. The sale price is $1,599,000.
•
g-~
4. In accordance, with the City Charter Section .13.04 since no indebtedness was
created by the purchase of this property and since there is no indebtedness against
the other City garage sites, the proceeds of sale may be designated by resolution
for any public use the Council desires.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council may choose not to undertake the second reading of a transitory
ordinance for the land sale at this time.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Publication of the transitory ordinance will occur as soon as possible. The effective
date of the ordinance will be 30 days after publication. A sale transaction could not
occur until after the effective date.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 292
Agenda November 24, 1997
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading of an ordinance amendment rezoning land at 300
West 78th Street from C-3 (high density commercial) to C-2 (general commercial).
Background:
Staff is recommending that the property at 300 West 78th Street, the Lampert Lumber
site, be rezoned from C-3 (high density commercial) to C-2 (general commercial). The
rezoning would also include the 50 foot wide parcel of land to the east of the Lampert
site that is owned by the Soo Line railroad.
The C-3 zoning district was created in 1987 as a means of encouraging higher density
development and restricting development that is inconsistent with the goals for the
Interstate-Lyndale-Nicollet (ILN) area. The C-3 district has strict setback, floor area
ratio, and use regulations that restrict the type of development that can occur.
The strict zoning regulations and the three month length of time it takes to complete a
rezoning of property can be a disincentive to developers seeking to purchase the
property. Rezoning the property at this time gives the City more flexibility in its sale of
the site.
Recommended Motion:
Conduct a public hearing and hold second reading of an ordinance rezoning land at 300
West 78th Street from C-3 to C-2.
Basis. of Recommendation:
1. Rezoning the property would provide the City with greater flexibility in its sale of
the property.
2. The City, as owner of the property, has control beyond its zoning powers over the
type of development that can occur on the property.
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
4. Notice of the proposed rezoning was published in the Sun Current and mailed to
property owners and occupants within 350 feet of the subject property.
5. On October 14, 1997 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the rezoning.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny this rezoning.
~-
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Rezoning applications require an affirmative vote by four of the members.
A public hearing and second reading is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November
24, 1997. The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall,
6700 Portland Avenue.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 291
Agenda November 24, 1997
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading of an ordinance amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance, Section 526, increasing the principal building height to 100 feet in the C-2
(general commercial) zoning district for properties located east of I-35W, west of Trunk
Highway 77 and south of 77th Street.
Background:
City staff are recommending that the allowable height in the C-2 district be increased to
100 feet for properties located along I-494 (east of I-35W, west of Trunk Highway 77,
south of 77th Street and north of 78th Street). The Zoning Ordinance currently limits
building height in the C-2 (general commercial) district to 40 feet.
Several buildings along I-494 have been constructed at heights over 40 feet (Minnesota
School of Business, Hampton Inn, Meridian Crossings, Richfield Towers), and those
developers have had to obtain a variance or rezone the property to a planned district.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages regional commercial and office development
along I-494; however, this type of development typically exceeds 40 feet in height.
The reconstruction of 77th Street creates a separation between the commercial area
along 1-494 and the residential areas. This separation minimizes any negative impact
of increased commercial building height on the residential neighborhood.
Recommended Motion:
Conduct a public hearing and hold second reading of an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance, Section 526.31 allowing a principal building height of 100 feet in the C-2
district for properties located east of I-35W, west of Trunk Highway 77 and south of
77th Street.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The proposed 100 foot height limit (9-10 stories) is comparable to the height of
existing buildings along the freeway corridor.
2. The Comprehensive Plan encourages higher density development along 1-494
which makes it appropriate to allow taller buildings in this area.
3. 77th Street provides a separation between the commercial area along 1-494 and
the residential area to the north.
4. Buildings taller than 40 feet have been approved along the corridor in the past. It
is inappropriate, however, to utilize the variance process to authorize taller
•
~-i
heights. It is also cumbersome to require that a building be developed as a
planned unit development in order to build at a taller height.
5. Historically, height limits were placed on buildings because a city's fire
department only had equipment to service a limited height. Today's built-in fire
protection systems make height limitations for this reason unnecessary.
6. Notice of the proposed amendment was published in the Sun-Current.
7. On October 14, 1997 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the amendment.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Approve the amendment with a different height limitation.
2. Deny this amendment.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Rezoning applications require atwo-thirds majority vote of the City Council for approval.
A public hearing and second reading is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November
24, 1997. The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall,
6700 Portland Avenue.

Council Letter No. 290
Agenda November 24, 1997
Issue Statement:

Each year, the City purchases rock salt, which is usually mixed with sand, to control. ice
on road surfaces during the winter season. A recent history of prices for this product is:
Year Unit Price Delivery Total
89/90 26.48/ton 1.85/ton 28.33/ton
90/91 26.27/ton 1.50/ton 27.77/ton
91/92 26.27/ton 1.50/ton 27.77/ton

95/96 28.21 /ton Included 28.21 /ton
96/97 27.81/ton Included 27.81/ton
Funding for this purchase is included in the 1997 and 1998 operating budgets for street
maintenance.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the purchase of an estimated 1,700 ton of rock salt for the 1997/98 winter
season from North American Salt Company, Overland Park, Kansas, at a unit price of
$27.69/ton/delivered for an estimated total purchase price of $47,073.00.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City participates in a joint purchasing agreement with the State of Minnesota.
2. The State of Minnesota solicited bids for all the participants in the joint purchase
agreement.
3. Under this particular joint purchase agreement, the City of Richfield has an obligation
to purchase from the low bidder.
4. North American Salt Company was the lowest responsible bidder for rock salt.
~~/~
Alternative Recommendation:
None. The paperwork from the State arrived later than usual. November 24 was the
first Council meeting available to obtain Council approval. Depending on the weather,
there is a chance staff will have to .order salt before formal Council approval.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Staff is asking approval at the November 24, 1997 Council meeting.

Rehbein, Inc.. $10.18 $ 91.,620
Don Rihn Transport 12.05 108,450
Avon-Ag Lime 12.12 109,080
Recommended Motion:

two years with mutual agreement by the City and Contractor..
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It is necessary to remove and dispose the lime by-product from the dewatering
presses.
2. Rehbein, Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder and is an established contractor that
meets all requirements.
3. There are sufficient funds in the 1998 Water Maintenance budget for lime by-product
disposal
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Council may reject all bids and direct staff to readvertise; however, staff does not
believe a better price can be obtained from a reputable contractor.
2. Council may award a contract to another bidder; however, Rehbein, Inc., an
.established contractor, submitted the lowest responsible bid.

submit names, they can submit them directly to their county. Nominations must be to
the County Board 60 days before the MCWD Manager terms expire on March 8, 1998.
Applications or nominations, therefore, would need to be submitted or about January 1,
1998.
The Statute indicates that cities. can act jointly. To that end the Steering Committee for
the Cities of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is willing to serve as the clearing
house for nominees. The Steering Committee can also make recommendations if the
City or the nominee(s) request endorsement. Richfield Public Works Director Michael
Eastling is a member of the Steering Committee and could carry any nomination from
the Richfield City Council to the Steering Committee.
Ronald Baumbach, 6633-12th Avenue, has expressed interest in appointment as a
MCWD Manager. Mr. Baumbach is interested in surface water issues and in working
out any problems of duplication between the district and cities.
Recommended Motion:
Nominate Ronald Baumbach, a Richfield resident, as a Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District Manager, direct the Richfield Public Works Director to carry the nomination to
the Steering Committee for the Cities of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for
endorsement and to submit the nomination to Hennepin County with or without Steering
Committee endorsement.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Two Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Manager positions will open March 8,
1998.
2. The City may submit names of nominees to the county for a Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District Manager position.
3. The Steering Committee for the Cities of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
is willing to act as a clearinghouse for nominees.
[~' ~
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not submit any name(s) in nomination for a Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District Manager position. However, Council could encourage anyone interested in
appointment to submit an application for the position.
2. Submit additional name(s) in nomination for a Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
Manager position.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Because applications are to be submitted on or about January 1, 1998 and additional
time is needed if the Steering Committee for the Cities of the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District is to act as a clearing house for nominees, Council is encouraged to
take action, if any, at the November 24, 1997 Council meeting.
