CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 315
Agenda November 8, 1993
Issue Statement:
First reading consideration of an ordinance amendment to rezone
the following MR (multiple residence) properties: 1) rezone,6615
Elliot Avenue, 6614 and 6615-10th Avenues, and 6614-11th Avenue
to R (single family residence); 2) rezone 901 East 66th Street
and 6600-10th Avenue to MR-2; and 3) rezone a small parcel of
land within Veterans Memorial Park (at 64th and Portland) to R.
Background:
Staff is reviewing the zoning ordinance for revision and update.
Initial analysis indicates that the MR district is not effective
because its provisions are incomplete, outdated and ambiguous.
The MR district has no density limitation and incorporates the
single family uses of the R district as well as the two family,
multi-family and group housing developments.
The MR district was the original and only multi-family district
when Richfield's growth occurred. Later, the MR-1 (two family),
MR-2 (multi-family), and MR-3 (high density multi-family)
districts were created to provide more precise controls for the
expanding variety of multi-family housing. When the MR-1, MR-2
and MR-3 districts were added, most MR zoned land was rezoned to
• fit into that classification system. The intention was for all
MR zoned land to be rezoned but about 45 parcels of land are
still zoned MR. These parcels are being evaluated and presented
for reclassification to the most appropriate land use zone.
The proposed zoning designations for the subject parcels are
consistent with existing land use.
Recommended Motion:
Approve first reading of an amendment rezoning 6615 Elliot
Avenue, 6614 and 6615-10th Avenues, and 6614-11th Avenue from MR
to R, rezoning 901 East 66th Street and 6600-10th Avenue from MR
to MR-2, and rezoning a small parcel of land within Veterans
Memorial Park from MR to R; and set a second reading and public
hearing for December 13, 1993.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. This rezoning will help to bring the zoning map up to date
with current land use practices and the comprehensive plan.
2. An MR zone is no longer an appropriate zoning district in the
City and an update to a more appropriate district is called
for whether or not the text of the zoning ordinance is
changed.
3. If the text of the zoning ordinance is updated to eliminate
the MR district, then it would be apropos to have rezoned
such designated areas before the text change.
• 4. The proposed R zoning is most appropriate for the existing
single family uses at 6615 Elliot Avenue, 6614 & 6615-10th
Avenues, and 6614-11th Avenue, while offering proper
regulatory control for present and future land uses.
5. The proposed MR-2 zoning is most appropriate for the existing
11 unit apartment use at 901 East 66th Street, and would
ensure that higher density development (as allowed under the
MR provisions) does not occur.
6. The proposed MR-2 zoning is most appropriate for the existing
12 unit apartment use at 6600-10th Avenue, and would ensure
that higher density development (as allowed under the MR
provisions) does not occur.
7. The proposed R zoning is most appropriate for the park land
use at Veterans Memorial Park, and would eliminate an
inconsistent spot zone of MR.
8. On October 26, 1993, the Planning Commission voted
. unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny this rezoning at first reading.
• Discussion/Decision Mode:
First reading is set for November
hearing and second reading will be

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 318
Agenda November 8, 1993
Issue Statement:
Continuation of?a public hearing and second reading of an
ordinance amendment to classify pawn operations, secondhand goods
operations which require a license under Section 1186 of the City
Code, currency exchanges, auction houses, and consignment auction
houses as conditional uses in the C-2 (general commercial) and I
(industrial) districts.
Background:
On October 11, 1993 the City Council continued second reading of
this ordinance amendment to allow the Planning Commission to
review the inclusion of currency exchanges, which had not been
previously reviewed.
On October 26, the Planning Commission voted 5-3 against
recommending the inclusion of currency exchanges in the proposed
ordinance. However, the Commission voted to request an
additional.90 days to study the issue and a moratorium to cover
the time period.
Recommended Motion:
Continue the public hearing regarding an ordinance approving an
amendment which classifies pawn operations, secondhand goods
operations which require a license under Section 1186 of the City
Code, currency exchanges, auction houses, and consignment auction
houses as conditional uses in the C-2 and I districts to November
22, 1993.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Planning Commission has asked for additional time to
study this matter. The moratorium for pawnshops will end
this month. Staff is exploring additional options for
resolution of this matter which can be forwarded to the
Council on November 22, 1993.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could approve the amendment without currency
exchanges, and place a moratorium on currency exchanges until
they can be studied and an ordinance formulated to regulate
such uses.
2. The Council could approve the amendment without currency
exchanges, and refer the currency exchange issue back to the
Planning Commission for a recommendation on how to regulate
this use.
3. The Council could modify the amendment deleting currency
• exchange uses, but make them a conditional use which is not
subject to the additional provisions of this ordinance.
-I
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing and second reading is scheduled at 7 p.m. on
Monday, November 8, 1993. The hearing will be held in the City
Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.

impact and aesthetic control. Further modifications have been
made based on review by the City Attorney as well as issues
raised by specific site applications.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached proposed ordinance amending Section 416 of the
City Code which regulates signage in the 77th Street Corridor.
Basis of Recommendation:
• 1. The applicable corridor is generally defined as south of 77th
Street between I-35W and Cedar for a distance of 150 feet
excluding frontage on major intersections and along I-494.
Signage both needed and appropriate for visibility to I-494
is clearly not appropriate along 77th Street.
2. Simple business directional signage is permitted to direct
customers to businesses along 78th Street that do not have
direct access to 77th Street. A logo is permitted on the
sign but no advertising. A business such as Arby's would
utilize this type of signage.
3. Pedestal signs are not permitted.
4. Ground monument signs are permitted in a landscaped or
specifically improved area. Lighting of such signs must not
impact residential areas north of 77th Street.
5. Wall signs are permitted on the front wall of a business
facing 77th Street but not on side or rear walls.
6. Banners and similar promotional devices, projecting signs and
window signs facing 77th Street are not permitted.
Alternative Recommendation:
• Deny the proposed ordinance amendment.

Monday, November 8, 1993. The hearing will be held in the City

Council Letter No. 313
Agenda November 8, 1993
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading
rezone the following MR (multiple
rezone 7132 Bloomington Avenue to
rezone 7107 Chicago Avenue & 7106
rezone west portion (parking lot)
and 4) rezone 7500 Cedar Avenue ti
of an ordinance amendment to
residence) properties: 1)
R (single family residence); 2)
Elliot Avenue to MR-2; 3)
of 7000 Cedar Avenue to MR-3;
3 MR-3.
Background:
Staff is reviewing the zoning ordinance for revision and update.
Initial analysis indicates that the MR district is not effective
because its provisions are incomplete, outdated and ambiguous.
The MR district has no density limitation and incorporates the
single family uses of the R district as well as the two family,
multi-family and group housing developments.
The MR district was the original and only multi-family district
when Richfield's growth occurred. Later, the MR-1 (two family),
MR-2 (multi-family), and MR-3 (high density multi-family)
districts were created to provide more precise controls for the
expanding variety of multi-family housing. When the MR-1, MR-2,
and MR-3 districts were added, most MR zoned land was rezoned to
• fit into that classification system. The intention was for all
MR zoned land to be rezoned but about 45 parcels of land are
still zoned MR. These parcels are being evaluated and presented
for reclassification to the most appropriate land use zone.
The proposed zoning designation for the subject parcels are
consistent with existing land use and, therefore, will remain
conforming uses.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached ordinance amendment approving the rezoning of
7132 Bloomington Avenue from MR to R; rezoning 7107 Chicago
Avenue and 7106 Elliot Avenue from MR to MR-2; rezoning 7000
Cedar Avenue (west portion) from MR to MR-3, and rezoning 7500
Cedar Avenue from MR to MR-3.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. This rezoning will help to bring the zoning map up to date
with current land use practices and the comprehensive plan.
2. An MR zone is no longer an appropriate zoning district in the
City and an update to a more appropriate district is called
for whether or not the text of the zoning ordinance is
changed.
3.. If the text of the zoning ordinance is updated to eliminate
the MR district, then it would be apropos to have rezoned
such designated areas before the text change..
4. The proposed R zoning is most appropriate for the existing
single family use at 7132 Bloomington Avenue, while offering
proper regulatory control for present and future land uses.
5. The proposed MR-2 zoning is most appropriate for the existing
fourplex uses at 7107 Chicago Avenue & 7106 Elliot Avenue,
and would ensure that higher density development (as allowed
under the MR provisions) does not occur.
6. The proposed MR-3 zoning is most appropriate for the existing
parking lot for the 25 unit apartment use at 7000 Cedar
Avenue, while offering proper regulatory control for present
and future land uses. This parking lot is required for the
adjacent apartment building and the rezoning would not change
that requirement.
7. The proposed MR-3 zoning is most appropriate for the existing
19 unit apartment use at 7500 Cedar Avenue, while offering
proper regulatory control for present and future land uses.
8. This rezoning will help to eliminate areas of inconsistent
spot zoning.
9. On September 28, 1993, the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could deny this rezoning with a finding that
such rezoning with a finding that such rezoning would have an
adverse impact on the subject parcels, adjacent properties or the
City as a whole.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing and second reading is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on
Monday, November 8, 1993. The hearing will be held in the City
Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.
Notice of the hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed
to property owners within 350 feet of the subject properties.

Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading of an ordinance amendment to
rezone property at 6438 and 6444 First Avenue from R (single
family residence) to C-2 (general commercial); and consideration
of an amended off-street parking permit to allow a parking and
drive-up teller expansion at Norwest Bank.
Background:
Norwest Bank, 6445 Nicollet, is proposing a plan which would
allow them to redesign and expand their parking lot and drive-up
teller facility by utilizing the two parcels directly east of the
bank site at 6438 and 6444 First Avenue.
The two parcels in question are currently zoned R-residence.
Bank parking lots and drive-up tellers are not permitted uses in
the R district. Therefore, Norwest is requesting a rezoning of
the two lots from residential to commercial.
Norwest Bank owns the vacant lot at 6438 First Avenue and the
single family home at 6444 First Avenue.
The proposal consists of clearing the existing house and all the
site features east of the bank building on the bank site. The
. drive-up teller would be redesigned and relocated onto the west
portion of the two lots, freeing up space for additional parking
on the existing bank site. The goal of the project is to
increase parking capacity and improve traffic flow through the
site. The bank currently experiences parking and congestion
problems because of inadequate stacking space for the existing
drive-up facility.
The proposal would increase parking capacity from 37 to 49 spaces
and separate the drive-up teller facility from the parking lot,
alleviating the conflict between the parking lot and the drive-
up. The number of drive-up lanes would stay the same, however,
the stacking space would be significantly increased to make the
drive-up more efficient. This should also result in less car
idling. The automated teller machine would not be placed in the
drive-up, but would remain in the bank lobby.
In formulating the plans, bank officials met with the neighbors
to devise a plan that„would address neighborhood concerns and
reduce the negative impacts. The meetings resulted in two major
plan modifications to address neighborhood concerns:
? Increased traffic generation on local streets was a major
concern of area residents. For this reason, the plan utilizes
a one-way traffic flow, with the entrance on Nicollet Avenue
and the exit on 65th Street. The exit on 65th Street would be
skewed toward Nicollet Avenue and would be signed for "no left
turn." This should help to direct most of the traffic back to
Nicollet Avenue, rather than short-cutting through the
neighborhood.
5-1
? Visual impact of the expansion area and bank was also a
concern of area residents. For this reason, the plan was
modified to widen the buffer yard along First Avenue.
Extensive landscape screening and berming would be
incorporated in the 47 foot buffer yard to shield the bank
operations from the residents. The large boulevard trees
along the west side of First Avenue would remain. In
addition, a wooden screen fence would be installed five feet
from the north line of the expansion area to separate the use
from the home and garage at 6426 First Avenue. The fence
would match the existing screen fence on the site. Plantings
would be installed in the five foot setback area north of the
fence to provide additional buffering.
The plan includes several improvements to manage the quality and
quantity of storm water run-off. The drainage and grading plan
includes a grassy swale in the buffer yard just east of the
drive-up teller facility. This swale will slow down the flow
rate and clean the run-off before it enters the storm sewer.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached ordinance amendment approving the rezoning of
6438 and 6444 First Avenue from R to C-2 and approve the amended
off-street parking permit with the following stipulations:
1. That the applicant prepare and record against the property an
instrument, satisfactory to the City Attorney, that
incorporates the site plan, landscaping, buffering, and
access requirements. In addition, the lots should be
restricted to bank accessory use subservient to the main lot
on Nicollet. The instrument must provide that the
restrictions may not be released without the approval of the
City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota.
2. That the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) not be included in
the drive-up teller area.
3. That entrance and exit signage be approved by the City.
4. That a cash escrow agreement for all required landscape
improvements be submitted before the off-street parking
permit becomes effective.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Comprehensive Plan calls for the subject lots to be a
medium density buffer. This proposal would meet the medium
density buffer guidelines for an accessory commercial use
which incorporates appropriate buffer yard and open space.
2. The improvements would alleviate the parking and circulation
conflict now present on the site.
3. The site layout and buffer yard would minimize the impact of
the bank operations, while improving the overall appearance
of the site and neighborhood.
5JL
4. The proposed site improvements would comply with City
engineering and landscape requirements.
5. Approval of the request would not constitute a spot zone,
because contiguous parcels to the west and south are also
zoned C-2.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could deny the rezoning and off-street parking
permit with a finding of fact that the proposal would have an
adverse impact on adjacent properties or the City as a whole.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Rezoning applications require a two-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 8, 1993. The hearing will be held in the City
Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.
Notice of the hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed
to property owners within 350 feet of the subject property.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 311
Agenda November 8, 1993
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and consideration of an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan, adding language to define and clarify the
Medium Density Buffer land use designation.
Background:
On October 11, 1993 the City Council adopted a resolution
directing the Planning Commission to consider an amendment to the
land use element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan designates parcels as Medium Density
Buffer, but does not provide a definition for such designation.
All the other land use designations (i.e., single family
residential, central business district) are defined by the plan.
In addition, the plan fails to recognize the effects of multi-
family uses and commercial uses on adjacent single family uses.
Preservation of Richfield's residential character and protection
of established neighborhoods is a high priority within the
community. A definition for Medium Density Buffer is needed to
protect the character of neighborhoods. The definition should
allow low density residential uses and properly buffered
commercial developments within the Medium Density Buffer areas.
This would help to ease the transition between commercial uses
along the major corridors and the single family uses behind them.
The area between multi-family or commercial uses and single
family uses can be very abrupt and harsh when no buffer zone is
provided.
The proposed definition adds the C-2 zoning classification to the
medium density buffer designation, but limits the types of
acceptable uses to low/medium density residentially scaled
buildings that generate low traffic volumes within the
neighborhood. Appropriate uses would include single family to
fourplex dwellings, existing convenience commercial, open space,
and commercial accessory uses that meet specific landscape buffer
yard requirements.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution amending the Comprehensive Plan to
define and clarify the medium density buffer land use
designation.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The medium density buffer designation must be defined if it
is to be used as a meaningful guide to development.
2. The medium density buffer designation must be defined if it
is to successfully protect residential neighborhoods from
high density commercial uses.
?I
3. Multi-family and commercial development adjacent to single
family use will continue to be an issue inherent in
Richfield's maturity and established development pattern.
LI Alternative Recommendation:
4. Quality development that responds to Richfield's residential
character should be encouraged, when appropriate buffering
and open space is provided to separate the uses.
5. The proposed definition would fit in with the new
Comprehensive Plan which is being developed by the Steering
Committee.
6. The amendment would not prevent Norwest Bank from developing
their property as proposed. The amendment would ensure that
future developments within the Medium Density Buffer
designation are compatible with the adjacent uses, providing
low density buildings and generous buffer yards.
7. The Metropolitan Council has reviewed the amendment and made
a determination that it is a housekeeping measure not subject
to further review.
8. On October 26, 1993, the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the amendment.
The City Council could refuse to adopt the amendment.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled at 7:00 p.m.
1993. The hearing will be held in the City
Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.

RESOLUTION NO. 8070
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
RELATING TO MEDIUM DENSITY BUFFER
WHEREAS, the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan
designates land as Medium Density Buffer, but does not provide a
definition for Medium Density Buffer; and
WHEREAS, the Medium Density Buffer land use designation must
be defined and clarified if it is to be a meaningful guide to
development; and
WHEREAS, this amendment was prompted by the need to protect
single family uses by defining a medium density buffer
designation that will ease the transition between single family
and multi-family or commercial uses; and
WHEREAS, multi-family and commercial development adjacent to
single family dwellings will continue to be an issue inherent in
Richfield's maturity and established development pattern; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has held a public hearing on
November 8, 1993, to review the relevant Comprehensive Plan
issues relating to Medium Density Buffer; and
• WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has conducted a public
hearing and recommended that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to
define and clarify the Medium Density Buffer land use
designation; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council has reviewed and approved
the amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council of the
City of Richfield, that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to
define and clarify the Medium Density Buffer land use designation
pursuant to Attachments A and B attached hereto.
Adopted this 8th day of November, 1993 by the City Council
of the City of Richfield, Minnesota.

Attachment B
Add the following language to Section IV of the Land Use Element
entitled "Land Use Controls/Goals"
E. Medium Density Buffer
The City of Richfield is committed to easing the transition
between sinale family residential and multi-family or non
residential uses. Land designated as medium density buffer
should serve as a transition zone. Medium density buffer
uses should be limited to low or medium density buildings.
Buildings should not exceed two stories in height and should
reflect the surrounding residential scale. Uses which
generate high traffic volumes within an adjacent single
family neighborhood should not be permitted. Appropriate
uses for land designed as medium density buffer include
single family to fourplex dwellings, existing convenience
commercial, open space, or commercial accessory uses that
meet the landscape requirements for buffering between
differing uses. The intent of the medium density buffer
designation is to preserve and protect the residential
character of the adjacent neighborhood.

Council Letter No. 310
Agenda November 8, 1993
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 for range balls for the Rich Acres
driving range.
Background:
The City Council policy resolution on purchasing provides that
when the purchase of merchandise, materials, equipment or
construction exceeds the amount of $5,000, authority to purchase
shall be submitted to the City Council for consideration.
Rich Acres purchases approximately 2,000 dozen driving range
balls each season. Quotations were obtained from four vendors:
S a? lding Wilson Titleist Maxfli
Retail Cost per Dozen $6.30 $6.25 $6.00 $5.95
Freight/Delivery Cost Free Free 1M/doz. Free
Other Considerations 100 doz. Nome Logo Set up &
free balls price logo extra
included 50X/doz.
Net Price Per Dozen $5.99 $6.25 $6.10 $6.45
It is the opinion of the Rich Acres staff that the Spalding Super
Range Edition range ball is one of the highest quality range
balls available on the market today. Spalding quality and
service are the best in the business.
The two most important aspects of a successful driving range are
quality of turf and quality of range balls. The cost of the
Spalding range ball is competitive with other brands. Wilson,
Titleist and Maxfli range balls are all more costly. The Rich
Acres patrons have appreciated the availability of the Rich Acres
custom Spalding range balls.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the 1994 purchase of Rich Acres Golf Course range balls
from Spalding in the amount of $11,970.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Cost is competitive.
2. Quality and service is superior.
• 3. Terms are good (free shipping and discounting).
4. There are sufficient funds in the Golf Course Enterprise Fund
to cover this purchase.
3F, I
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could choose not to purchase range balls for the
1994 season.
2. The Council could select another supplier, though they are
more costly and of a lower quality.
3. The Council could direct staff to look for alternatives,
although staff believes this is the best choice.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is on the consent calendar of the November 8, 1993
regular City Council meeting. Staff is asking for approval at
this time so that a timely purchase can be made.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 309
Agenda November 8, 1993
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 for asphalt paths at the Rich Acres
Golf Course.
Background:
The City Council policy resolution in purchasing provides that
when the purchase of merchandise, materials, equipment or
construction exceeds the amount of $5,000 authority to purchase
shall be submitted to the City Council for consideration.
The cart paths around the Rich Acres Clubhouse need asphalting to
finish off the asphalt cart path work for the entire golf course.
Completion of these paths will reduce erosion problems from the
existing gravel paths and reduce dusty conditions on dry, windy
days.
Staff has obtained quotations for the proposed work. The basic
work calls for placing a 2" asphalt surface using the existing
base. However, prices were also provided, in the event certain
work is needed, for additional excavation to a 4" depth (Option
A) and for additional limestone class 5 base (Option B). The
work is to be completed in the spring of 1994. Obtaining
• quotations at this time allows more competitive figures than does
waiting until spring. Authorization to purchase at this time for
1994 allows work to begin earlier in the season. The following
quotes have been received:
Vendor 4" Limestone
Basic Base Unit Excavation Class 5 Base
Vendor Cost Estimate Option A Option B
Plebal $ 9,580 2,078 sy $4.50/sy $11.00/ton
Bittanirmus Roadways $ 7,124 2,100 sy $1.76/sy $10.96/tore
Barber Construction $11,200 2,183 sy $2.00/sy $10.00/ton
Recommended Motion:
Approve the purchase of the asphalting for the golf cart paths at
a cost of $7,124 from Bituminous Roadways, Inc.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The project will complete the Rich Acres golf cart path
system and enhance the operation.
2. The golf cart paths are needed to reduce the erosion problem
with the existing rock paths.
• 3. The quality of work by the contractor is of a high quality.
4. There are sufficient funds in the Golf Course Enterprise Fund
to cover this expanse. The work has been included in the
1994 budget.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could choose to continue with the existing
conditions.
2. The.Council could select another contractor. However, the
costs of other contractors were investigated and proved to be
more costly.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for consent calendar of the November 8,
1993 regular City Council meeting.
