Council Memorandum No. 51
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
Subject: May 24, 2017, City Council Work Session Items
Council Members:
The following items will be discussed at the May 24 City Council W ork Session:
2017 Bicycle Routes
This project proposes to implement over five (5) miles of planned bicycle routes in East
Richfield through the following routes:
70th Street from Lyndale Avenue to Diagonal Boulevard
12th Avenue Extension from 73rd Street to 62nd Street
Bloomington Avenue Extension from Diagonal Boulevard South to 77th Street
62nd Street / 11th Avenue connection between Taft and Veteran’s Parks
The Transportation Commission recommended the implementation of these routes
during their May 3, 2017, meeting after reviewing project details and the results of the
April 24, 26, and 27, 2017, Public Open Houses (attached). The routes consist of on-
street markings and signage with no changes to lane configurations or parking.

Staff will review the current state of the City’s utility and transportation infrastructure and
discuss options to move forward.

Purpose
The City’s Complete Streets Policy, Bicycle Master Plan, and Guiding Principles have established goals for
multimodal transportation options for Richfield residents. This project is intended to add about 2.5 miles
of planned bicycle routes along Bloomington and 12th Avenues and 62nd Street (as shown on the project
map). The streets in this same area were Milled and Overlaid in 2016.
This project would provide safer bicycle connections to:
Richfield Dual Language School
Richfield STEM School
Centennial Elementary
Taft, Veterans, Christian, and Washington Parks
These Bicycle Routes will provide connections to the City’s existing bicycle facilities on 76th Street, 73rd
Street, and Diagonal Boulevard. This route will also connect to the 70th Street and 66th Street bicycle
facilities opening in 2017

I T E M F O R C O UNC I L C O NS I D E RAT IO N:
Consideration of the approval of a resolution modifying a Health Care S avings Plan for Management
Employees.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
I n 2001, the Minnesota legislature granted authority to the Minnesota State Retirement System (MS RS) to
offer a post-employ ment Health Care Savings Plan (HC SP) to eligible employees of the State of Minnesota
and other governmental subdivisions. A post-employ ment HC S P is an employ er-sponsored program that
allows employees to save money to pay towards medic al expenses and/or health insuranc e premiums after
termination of employment. Employees are able to c hoose among different investment options provided by the
State Board of I nvestment. Assets contributed into the program are tax-free, ac cumulate tax free, and if used
for medical expenses, remain tax-free.
The Management employee group has agreed upon a modification to its plan that modifies the bi-weekly
contribution amount. Under state statute, modific ations to HC S P's c annot be made more often then once
every two years. The last modification to the Management HC S P was in August 2013. Staff is recommending
amending the P ost E mployment Health Care Savings Plan for Management employees.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
By motion: Approve a resolution modifying a Health Care Savings Plan for eligible Management
employees.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT IO N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON TEXT
Legal authority to establish a HC S P is provided through Minn. Stat. 352.98 and I nternal Revenue
Service rulings. The establishment of eac h plan, inc luding contribution formulae, must be
negotiated when dealing with a collec tive bargaining unit or personnel policy where non-union
employ ees are involved. Once established, the plan must be filed with MS RS to initiate or modify
the plan.
Partic ipation for each individual employ ee within a bargaining unit or employee group is
mandatory once the plan is established for that respective group. Moreover, the amounts
contributed for or by each employee in a partic ular group must be the same for every employee
of the group; however, c ontributed amounts between employee groups will vary.
A Health C are Savings Plan was established by the City Council for the Management employee
group on J uly 13, 2004. Under state statute, plan modifications may be made no more frequently
than once every two y ears. The last modific ation was in August 2013.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
Minnesota Statutes have been amended to provide the opportunity for a very valuable benefit to
City employees. The City of Richfield has offered this benefit to employee groups that are
interested in suc h a mandatory plan.
Approval of the resolution by the C ity Council will provide the City authority to proceed with this
modified program for the Management employees. Plan modifications c an be made every two
years.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G ISSU E S:
There is no time c ritical issue pertaining to the timing of this modification; however, the majority of
Management employees have expressed a desire to implement the modified program, so it should
be pursued at the City ’s earliest opportunity.
After C ity approval, this plan must be submitted to MS RS for filing and implementation.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
There is no cost to the City in this version of the plan sinc e the City makes no contribution. I n
fact, there is a cost savings to the City in that wages and severanc e pay that the employ ee
contributes to the Health Care Savings plan are not subject to Social S ec urity or Medic are
contributions.
The plan provides a great tax savings to the participating employees and provides a tax
mechanism to fund post-employment medic al c osts.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION :
There is legal authority for this plan in Minnesota Statutes and I RS Code.
The plan modification has been sent to the State for review and has received informal approval.

Policy : Management Post Employment Health Care Savings Plan
Approved by: Richfield City Council – May 24, 2017
Effective Date: May 28, 2017
Page: 1 of 2
Plan Purpose The City of Richfield is interested in establishing a means for eligible
employees to participate in a mandatory program to help defray some of
the costs of post employment health related expenses, including health
insurance premiums using pre-tax dollars. Participation in the Post
Employment Health Care Savings Plan, administered by the Minnesota
State Retirement System (MSRS), is intended to provide an opportunity to
accomplish that goal.
Post Employment
Health Care Savings
Plan
The Post Employment Health Care Savings Plan (HCSP) is an
Employer-sponsored program that allows eligible employees to:
1. defer payment of a portion of unused vacation and personal leave as a
severance payment at the time of termination to pay for eligible health
insurance premiums and/or health expenses after separation from City
service, and
2. defer a portion of an Employee’s bi-weekly salary for deposit into their
HCSP for the payment of qualified healthcare related expenses after
separation from City service.
Employees will be able to choose among several different investment
options provided by the Minnesota State Board of Investment. Under the
Plan, amounts contributed into the HCSP are tax-free and not subject to
FICA contributions. Assets in the HCSP will accumulate tax-free and
since payouts are used for qualifying medical expenses, they will also
remain tax-free.
Eligibility to
Participate
Participation in the Management HCSP is mandatory for all employees
that meet the following requirements:
1. The Employee must be a member of the Richfield Management Pay
Classification Plan or the City Manager at the time of termination of
employment, and
2. The Employee must have been continuously employed by the City of
Richfield for at least 3 consecutive years.
Contribution
Formula
Mandatory participation in the Management HCSP shall be in accordance
with, and limited to the following formulas for contributions:

service must contribute $45 per pay period to the Employee’s
account in the Management HCSP. Such contributions shall not
exceed $45 per pay period.

CAPITAL ASSET POLICY
City of Richfield
Financial Policy
Date: May 24, 2017
Subject: Capital Asset Policy
Introduction
The City maintains a large investment in it capital assets. It is the responsibility of the
City to maintain, preserve and replace these assets when needed as they play an
important role in providing basic services to our residents.
I. SCOPE
This fiscal policy provides the framework that will allow overall management of the City’s
capital assets.
The Finance Division is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of a fixed
asset accounting system that allows for the proper presentation of fixed assets in the
financial statements and the overall safeguarding of fixed assets.
All City employees are responsible for protecting City property entrusted to them and to
help protect all City assets in general. Department Directors, Division Managers, and
Supervisors are ultimately responsible for and held accountable for, assuming
proprietary control of all equipment and other fixed assets in their custody or assigned
to their department or division.
II. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to set forth the guidelines for the physical and reporting
control of the City’s assets, including accountability over the assets.
III. CAPITAL ASSETS DEFINITION
Capital assets include land, land improvements, buildings, building improvements,
construction in progress, machinery and equipment, vehicles, infrastructure, and
intangible assets (software and easements) acquired by the City for use in providing
services to its citizens. Capital assets are reported and depreciated in the applicable
governmental or business-type activities columns in the governmental-wide financial
statements.
Infrastructure assets are long-lived capital assets that normally can be preserved for a
significantly greater number of years than most capital assets and are normally
stationary in nature. Examples include roads, bridges, tunnels, drainage systems, and
water and sewer systems.
Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more
than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year.
Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or
constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the
date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset
or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects when
constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of
business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets
constructed.
Property, plant and equipment, and infrastructure assets are depreciated using the
straight-line method. Capital assets are depreciated over the following estimated useful
lives:
Assets
Buildings and structures 20-50 years
Machinery and equipment 3-15 years
Furniture and fixtures 10 years
Other improvements 10-50 years
Storm sewers 25-30 years
Streets 25 years
Street lights 25 years
Distribution and collection
systems
30-50 years
IV. INVENTORY RECORD OF ASSETS
The City’s fixed asset system will serve as the inventory record for capital assets. Each
asset in the fixed asset system will include: description, year of acquisition, cost or
estimated cost, estimated useful life, current net book value and accumulated
depreciation. The inventory record will also identify the division that uses the asset.
Land is capitalized (but not depreciated) and tracking is maintained by the City’s fixed
asset system.
V. DEPRECIATION DEFINITION
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of tangible property over a period of
time rather than deducting the cost as an expense in the year of acquisition.
It is the City’s policy to use the straight-line depreciation method. The basis of the asset
is written off evenly over the useful life of the asset. The same amount of depreciation is
taken each year. In general, the amount of annual depreciation is determined by
dividing an asset’s depreciable cost by its estimated life. The total amount depreciated
can never exceed the asset’s historic cost.
To avoid the complications of depreciating each asset from the specific date on which it
is placed in service, the City will utilize a Mid-Month Convention. Under this convention,
property placed in service at any time during a given month is treated as if it had been
placed in service on the 16 th day of the month. For example, if the asset is purchased in
January, the calculation of depreciation would start on January 16 th . If the property is
disposed of before the end of the estimated useful life, depreciation would only be taken
for the first 15 days of the month.
To calculate depreciation on a capital asset, the following factors must be known:
• Date the asset was placed in service
• Cost or acquisition value
• Estimated useful life, and
• Depreciation method (straight-line)
VI. Determining Assets Cost
Capital assets are recorded at historical cost and should include the cost of freight, site
preparation, architect and engineering fees, etc. If something other than cash is used to
pay for the asset, then fair-market value of the non-cash payment or consideration
determines the asset’s cost or acquisition value. When the value of consideration paid
can’t be determined, the asset’s fair-market value determines its cost. With few
exceptions, an asset’s cost should also include necessary costs incurred to place the
asset in service. These costs would include the invoice price plus incidental costs such
as insurance during transit, freight, capitalized interest, duties, title search, registration
fees, and installation costs. Exceptions to this rule include interest expenses associated
with deferred payments and real estate taxes paid, in any, in the acquisition of property.
VII. CAPITAL ASSET CLASSES
A. Recording of Land
Land is to be capitalized but not depreciated. It is recorded at historical cost and
remains at that cost until disposal. If there is a gain or loss on the sale of land, it is
reported as a special item in the statement of activities.
B. Recording Land Improvements
Land improvements include items such as excavation, non-infrastructure utility
installation, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, flagpoles, retaining walls, fencing, signs,
outdoor lighting, and other non-building improvements intended to make the land ready
for its intended purpose.
C. Recording Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are to be capitalized and recorded based upon the historical cost.
Easements will be capitalized and depreciated with the project to which the easement
relates.
D. Recording Buildings
Buildings should be recorded at either their acquisition cost or construction cost. The
cost of new construction should be carefully evaluated because projects usually consist
of major components such as land, land improvements, building construction (including
professional fees and permits), furniture, fixtures and equipment. In addition, buildings
include components such as roof, air conditioner system, etc. that should be recorded
separately when significant because these building components have different useful
lives. The value of each component needs to be determined and placed within its own
category.
E. Recording Building Improvements
Building improvements that extend the useful life should be capitalized. Examples of
building improvements include re-roofing projects, and major structural building
components. Items that are normal upkeep or replacements will be included in the
operating budget. Examples of these items are window replacement, carpet
replacement, and interior remodeling.
F. Recording Construction in Progress
Construction in progress should be capitalized and not depreciated. It should be
reported with land and other non-depreciating assets at the government wide level.
Unspent debt proceeds from capital assets related debt are reported in the net assets
section of the statement of net assets as “restricted for capital projects”.
G. Recording Machinery and Equipment (Including Office Equipment)
Assets such as machinery and equipment (that meet threshold levels) should be
capitalized and inventoried. Furniture that is purchased in conjunction with new
construction or with a purchase of a new building will be added to the full value of the
building at the completion of the project.
H. Recording Vehicles
Vehicles should be identified, inventoried, and depreciated.
I. Recording Easements
An easement is an interest in land owned by another that entitles its holder to a specific
limited use of the land. Therefore, easements are not required to be reported unless the
City paid for the easement (See Intangible Assets above).
VIII. Establishing and Setting the Threshold Levels for Recording Capital Assets
The following elements of useful life and asset costs are established for capitalization of
assets:
• Estimated Useful Life.
The first criterion is useful life. An asset must have an estimated useful life
greater than one (1) year to be considered for capitalization and depreciation.
Assets that are consumed, used-up, habitually lost or worn out in one year or
less will not be capitalized.
• Asset Cost
The second criterion for determining depreciable capital assets is cost. The
capitalization threshold is established at an individual cost of $5,000 (amount not
rounded).
IX. Disposition/Sale of Capital Assets
The City shall dispose of capital assets if the assets are determined to be no longer
needed, obsolete, or in a condition beyond repair. When a capital asset is disposed of
the Finance Division must be notified by the responsible department or division that had
custody of the disposed asset.
Surplus capital assets in a condition for sale are to be sold either at a public auction or
using a sealed bid process. All other assets not in a condition for sale may be disposed
of by following are legal requirements for disposal. In all instances, the City shall abide
by Minnesota Statutes in regards to disposal/sale of capital assets.

street right-of-way adjacent to the proposed Plaza 66 commercial development (approx. 66th Street
and 17th Avenue) and schedule a public hearing and second reading for June 13, 2017.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
I nterstate Development (the Developer) is proposing a multi-tenant commercial building along 66th Street,
between 16th Avenue and Richfield Parkway. The Developer has purchase agreements in plac e for all
properties within the project boundary and is requesting the vacation of the right-of-way immediately adjacent.
This right-of-way c urrently provides ac cess to two homes at 6608 and 6614 17th Avenue. These properties
and the right-of-way are proposed to be incorporated into the development and there will no longer be a public
need for the street right-of-way.
17th Avenue South (the right-of-way at issue) is already a dead-end at this loc ation. The rec ommended
ac tion would simply move the dead-end approximately 125 feet further to the south sinc e it would no longer
serve the two homes.

By motion:
1. Conduct a fir st reading of a transitory or dinance vacating Harriet Avenue street right-of-way as

motion or upon the petition of the owners of half of the land abutting the street, alley, public
grounds or part thereof, to be vacated.
The Housing and Redevelopment A uthority is the owner of more than 50% of the land abutting the
right-of-way and approved a petition requesting the vacation on May 15, 2017.
No vacation may be made unless it appears to be in the interest of the public to do so.
Easements for identified utilities and drainage must be dedicated in the plat.

Consideration of the approval of the second r eading of an ordinance rez oning properties currently
addressed as: 6601 - 16th Avenue, 6609 - 16th Avenue, 6615 - 16th Avenue, 6600 - 17th Avenue, 6608 -
17th Avenue, and 6614 - 17th Avenue from G eneral B usiness (C-2) to P lanned General Business (P C -
2) and approval of a resolution for a Planned U nit D evelopment at this same location.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The six parcels of land immediately south of 66th Street between 16th and 17th Avenues have been zoned for
commercial use since 1968. At work sessions on February 9 and April 12, 2016, and J anuary 24, 2017,
I nterstate Development (the Developer) presented c oncept plans to the City Council, Housing and
Redevelopment A uthority, and Planning Commission for a multi-tenant commerc ial building on these
properties. Based on feedbac k received at these meetings, the Developer has submitted a plan that includes
an attractive building with four-sided architecture and direct pedestrian access to 66th Street. The
development appropriately responds to the adjacent Three Rivers Regional Trail by providing bicy cle access
and parking throughout the property. Although no tenants have been announc ed, the D eveloper has indicated
that a c offee tenant would oc cupy the western-most space with the drive-thru and that negotiations are
underway with a smaller restaurant chain that is not c urrently operating in or near Richfield for the eastern-
most space with patio seating. The proposed plans are c onsistent with all but two Zoning Code requirements.
These requirements c an be adjusted under the terms of the Planned Unit Development.
1. Businesses with drive-thru servic e are conditionally permitted in this Distric t; however, the proposed
drive-thru window is 3 feet closer to the adjac ent residential property line than permitted by Code (147
ft. vs. 150 ft).
2. The proposed buffer between the parking lot and the adjac ent residential property line is 4.5 feet
narrower than required (10.5 feet vs. 15 feet).
The intent of these regulations is to protect adjacent residential property owners from nuisanc es related to
headlights and noise. Staff believes that the proposed c ombination of fencing (8 ft) and landsc aping will
adequately address potential visual disturbance from vehicles in the parking lot. The component of the drive-
thru that does not meet standards is the window, not the order station. The order station is 176 feet from the
nearest residential property line and exceeds requirements. The pick-up window, whic h would not include
speaker components will be 3 feet closer to the property line than ty pic ally allowed. Given the fac t that this is
the window and not the order board, combined with the fac t that it is westward fac ing makes staff c onfident
that this 3-foot adjustment will not harm the adjacent property. W hile the order board does meet minimum
requirements, staff added a stipulation to the resolution requiring that the drive-thru speaker system include
Automatic Volume Control (AV C) to adjust based on ambient noise.
Staff and the Developer attended a neighborhood meeting on April 20 to discuss this proposal. A number of
area residents also spoke at the public hearing held before the Planning Commission on April 24. The
primary concern mentioned was potential traffic increases on 16th Avenue. Noise and light pollution were also
mentioned. Community Development and Public W orks staff indicated that discussions related to 16th Avenue
would continue and the Planning Commission voted (6-1, Hoberg dissenting) to recommend approval of the
proposed development.
Community D evelopment, Public W orks, and Fire Department staff met to disc uss what, if any, measures
should be taken to address a potential traffic inc rease on 16th Avenue. The recommendation of the group is
to channelize the exit lane in order to direct traffic north on 16th Avenue. This rec ommendation and the
reasoning behind it was communicated to the neighborhood in writing and at a meeting held on May 16. Staff
made c lear that the proposed resolution includes a stipulation requiring traffic monitoring after the
development opens and that if traffic increases above ac ceptable residential thresholds, road modifications
would be considered. Residents in attendance submitted the attac hed petition requesting that 16th Avenue be
made a dead end south of the development.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
By Motion:
1. Approve the second reading of an ordinance rez oning Lots 1, 2, 3, 14, 15, and 16, Block 1,
Cedar S unrise Addition from General B usiness (C -2) to Planned Gener al Business (P C-2); and
2. Approve a r esolution approving a Planned U nit D evelopment, Conditional Use Permit, and Final
Development Plan for a multi-tenant commercial development to be built on properties legally
described as Lots 1, 2, 3, 15, and 16, B lock 1, Cedar Sunrise Addition, and adjacent right-of-way.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT IO N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON TEXT
The six properties south of 66th Street between 16th Avenue and 17th Avenue have been zoned
for c ommercial development since 1968.
The properties have been guided for c ommercial development in the C omprehensive Plan since
1982.
The c onstruc tion of the roundabout at Ric hfield Parkway and 66th S treet resulted in the closing of
the northern end of 17th Avenue. Redevelopment of this area would eliminate the need for much of
this right-of-way and the Developer has requested its vacation. The P ublic W orks Department is
supportive of this request.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
There are a number of sets of review c riteria that apply to this proposal. A full discussion of all
requirements is included as an attac hment to this report. Generally, the c riteria require that the
Council find that the proposal conforms to the goals and policies of the C omprehensive Plan and
Zoning C ode without having undue adverse impac ts on public health, safety, and welfare.
Traffic counts were taken on 16th Avenue between 66th and 67th Streets between Thursday, April
27 and Monday, May 1 (see attached record). Residential streets that are not adjac ent to major
roads typically have volumes around 500 c ars per day. The counts taken of between 550 and 675
are ty pic al of residential roads abutting major c ollectors. The threshold for intervention is 1,000
cars per day.
Neighbors have expressed concerns about c ut-through traffic (westbound 66th Street to
southbound Bloomington Avenue). This is expec ted to be reduced with the 66th Street
rec onstruc tion to be completed this summer. The new 66th Street design will include a turn lane
from 66th Street to Bloomington Avenue with left-turn phasing.
The option to dead-end 16th Avenue is not supported by staff primarily due to the negative
impac ts on emergency response to the area.
I f approved and constructed, staff will monitor traffic volumes and patterns. I f volumes were to
exceed the residential threshold or other substantial conc erns arose, then modific ations to 16th
Avenue would be considered.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G ISSU E S:
A complete application was received and the "60-day c lock" started on April 10, 2017. The
Council must make a decision, or extend the deadline by an additional 60 day s, by J une 9, 2017.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
The required applic ation fees have been paid.
The HRA approved the sale of 6608 – 17th Avenue and the remnant parc els to the developer on
May 15, 2017.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION :
The Planning Commission held a public hearing related to this item on April 27, 2017.
Notic e of the public hearing was published in the Sun Current Newspaper and mailed to
properties with 350 feet of the proposal.

Required Findings
Part 1: The following findings are necessary for approval of a PUD application
(542.09 Subd. 3):
1. The proposed development conforms to the goals and objectives of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and any applicable redevelopment plans. The City’s
Comprehensive Plan has designated these parcels as a spot for Community
Commercial Business since 1982. In 2011, the City and Hennepin County
developed a revitalization plan for the East 66 th Street Corridor (66 th Street
Corridor Revitalization Plan). The Plan identified this southwest corner of the
roundabout as a potential area of change, even leaving open the possibility
for regional commercial development on a portion of this site. The plans are
consistent with City plans that have been in place for many years.
2. The proposed development is designed in such a manner as to form a
desirable and unified environment within its own boundaries. This
requirement is met. Drive-thru traffic is limited, pedestrian connections to 66 th
Street are strong, and bicycle parking is provided throughout the
development.
3. The development is in substantial conformance with the purpose and intent of
the guiding district, and departures from the guiding district regulations are
justified by the design of the development. The development is in substantial
compliance with the intent of the guiding C-2 District. Departures from
requirements are minimal and the proposal meets the intent of requirements.
4. The development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools,
streets or other public facilities and utilities that serve or area proposed to
serve the development. The City’s Public Works, Engineering, and Recreation
Departments have reviewed the proposal and do not anticipate any issues.
5. The development will not have undue adverse impacts on neighboring
properties. Undue adverse impacts are not anticipated. The site and the
conditions of the resolution are designed to minimize any potential negative
impacts on neighboring properties. Exiting traffic will be forced north via
channelization within the driveway apron. Existing traffic counts are well-
within residential thresholds and no significant change is anticipated. An 8-
foot fence combined with landscaping and sound equipment equipped with
Automatic Volume Control will protect adjacent residential properties from
noise and headlight glare. Lighting plans meet City requirements and full cut-
off fixtures will protect neighboring properties from light spill.
6. The terms and conditions proposed to maintain the integrity of the plan are
sufficient to protect the public interest. The final development plan and
conditional use permit resolution establish conditions sufficient to protect the
public interest.
Part 2: All uses are conditional uses in the PC-2 District. The findings
necessary to issue a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) are as follows (Subd. 547.09,
Subd. 6):
1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of
the City’s Comprehensive Plan . See above – Part 1, #1.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and
the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the
proposed use. The use is consistent with the intent of the Planned General
Business District and the underlying General Business Districts.
3. The proposed use is consistent with any officially adopted redevelopment
plans or urban design guidelines . See above – Part 1, #1
4. The proposed use is or will be in compliance with the performance
standards specified in Section 544 of this code. The proposed development
is in substantial compliance with City performance standards. Deviation from
Code requirements is requested as follows:
• Parking lot setback – The applicant has proposed a 10.5-ft. setback
from the south property line; the Code requires a 15-ft. setback.
The intent of this provision is to provide adequate area to
attractively screen the parking lot. The proposed buffer provides
100% screening of the parking lot through a combination of fencing
and landscaping. The buffer area is large enough to support the
plants selected and will provide an attractive barrier between the
development and the homes to the south.
5. The proposed use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental
facilities, utilities, services, or existing or proposed improvements. The City’s
Public Works and Engineering Departments have reviewed the proposal and
do not anticipate any adverse impacts.
6. The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the public health, safety,
or welfare . Adequate provisions have been made to protect the public health,
safety and welfare from undue adverse impacts.
7. There is a public need for such use at the proposed location . See above
– Part 1, #1.
8. The proposed use meets or will meet all the specific conditions set by this
code for the granting of such conditional use permit . This requirement is met.

Motion carried: 7-0
OPEN FORUM
No members of the public spoke.
PUBLIC HEARING(S)
ITEM #1
17-CUP-02, 17-VAR-01 – Consider a request for a conditional use permit and variances
to allow a buffet restaurant to operate in the former Old Country Buffet space at 6601
Nicollet Avenue.
Associate Planner Matt Brillhart presented the staff report and shared a letter from a nearby
property owner.
In response to a question from Commissioner Hayford Oleary regarding the odor control
complaint process, Brillhart stated that the Zoning Code does not specify a set number of
complaints. Staff and the City Attorney concurred that at a minimum, the City would require
two unique complaints related to odors from verified addresses within 150 feet of the property
before taking action to require installation of odor control equipment.
Nikki Bodurtha (6633 1st Avenue) expressed concerns with the lack of a set process for
addressing complaints related to odors.
M/Vizecky, S/Rosenberg to close the public hearing.
Motion carried: 7-0
Commissioner Rosenberg stated concerns with granting a variance justified on the length of
time the space had been vacant and stated that the one year rule should be upheld.
April 24, 2017
2
M/Vizecky, S/Hayford Oleary to recommend approval of the CUP and variances.
Motion carried: 6-1 (Rosenberg dissenting)
ITEM #2
17-RZN-01, 17-CUP-01, 17-FDP-01, 17-PUD-01 – Consider approval of a multi-tenant
commercial development at 66th Street East, between 16th and 17th Avenues. The
proposal would replace four existing single-family homes and eliminate approximately
120 feet of 17th Avenue (in front of 6608 and 6614 - 17th Avenue). This area is currently
zoned for commercial development.
City Planner Melissa Poehlman presented the staff report. City Engineer Jeff Pearson gave an
overview of potential traffic impacts and possible mitigation solutions. Community
Development Director John Stark summarized the recent neighborhood meeting regarding the
proposal and noted that the proposed 6 foot tall fence could be increased to 8 feet.
In response to a question from Chairperson Vrieze Daniels, Pearson stated that completely
eliminating the access onto 16th Avenue could put too much pressure on the entrance on
Richfield Parkway. The effects would have to be studied further.
In response to questions from Commissioner Hayford Oleary, Poehlman stated that lighting
levels could not exceed 1 footcandle at the property line and the proposal meets this
requirement. Poehlman stated that the proposal meets the City’s parking requirements.
Ten speakers expressed concerns with the potential for the development to generate
additional traffic on 16th Avenue and expressed concerns with the drive-thru related to noise
and privacy. Several suggested closing off 16th Avenue south of the development. One
speaker adjacent to the development expressed support for the project, conditioned on support
for an 8-foot fence. One speaker expressed concern with the loss of residences.

Motion carried: 7-0
In response to a question from Chair Vrieze Daniels, Engineer Pearson stated that the City
was not prepared to take a position on the full closure of 16th Avenue at this time, as it would
need to be reviewed by the Engineering, Maintenance, Public Safety, and Fire Departments.
Chair Vrieze Daniels suggested tabling the item until the May Planning Commission meeting
so those questions could be resolved. Commissioner Hoberg concurred. Commissioners
Hayford Oleary and Vizecky countered that the development had been in the works for some
time and had already made revisions to improve the project. Vizecky stated that the
development itself was unlikely to change and that traffic flow and street closures were not the
function of the Planning Commission. Poehlman stated that the resolution as written included a
stipulation that the access on 16th be channelized in some way, and stated that revisions
could be included when the item goes before the City Council for a second reading.
M/Vizecky, S/Hayford Oleary to recommend approval of the land use applications.
Commissioner Hayford Oleary inquired if tenants were required to use doors facing 66th
Street. Poehlman responded in the affirmative and noted there might be one tenant in the
middle of the building that does not have a door facing the street. Commissioner Hayford
Oleary also noted the lack of a pedestrian connection from the 16th Avenue sidewalk.
Motion carried: 6-1 (Hoberg dissenting)

Consideration of the approval of a resolution authoriz ing the City of Richfield to accept a Center for
Prevention at Blue C ross Blue Shield Grant for $20,500 to be applied towar d installation, education,
and evaluation of temporary pedestrian crossings of N icollet Avenue.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The City applied for and was awarded an Active P lace D emonstration Grant from the C enter of Prevention at
Blue Cross Blue S hield of Minnesota (B C B S ) in the amount of $20,500.
The proposed pedestrian demonstration project consists of three enhanced pedestrian crosswalks that link
identified racially c oncentrated area of poverty to two major destinations -- Augsburg Park and Augsburg
Park Public Library. I n addition to the crossings of Nicollet Avenue, c rosswalk safety education events and a
study of the effec tiveness of the c rossings are proposed. The enhanced crosswalks on Nicollet Avenue are
proposed at 71st, 72nd, and 73rd Streets and inc lude striping, delineators, and refuge islands c onstructed in
a temporary condition.
A major goal for the C ity is to provide safer crossings of busy roadway s. Ric hfield's major roads can be
barriers for people to move around the community. W alkers, transit riders, and bic yc lists are c hallenged by
unsafe crossings of these roadways. This demonstration projec t will provide data to be used for design of
safer crossings. The future reconstruction of Nicollet, Lyndale, and Penn Avenues would all be guided to
inc lude safer crossing designs and eliminate the barriers that these major roads create across the city.
