CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 294
Agenda December 11, 1989
Issue Statement:
Adoption of a resolution approving the adequacy of a Richfield
Floral and Nursery petition; authorizing the execution of a
Memorandum of Agreement between the Petitioner and the City of
Richfield and ordering certain fire protection improvements.
Background•
Attached to this Council Letter is a resolution declaring the
adequacy of a special assessment petition from Richfield Floral
and Nursery, and authorizing the execution of a Memorandum of
Agreement for said improvements on behalf of the City. The
resolution also authorizes the use of Permanent Improvements
Revolving (PIR) funds to finance the project on an interim basis
and to assume the assessment roll upon completion of the project.
As with the Richfield Shoppes project, the City has worked with
public and private entities to bring their respective facilities
up to current fire code standards. Their improvements, which
have typically been fire sprinkler systems, included City
financing provided as a special assessment under Minnesota
Statute Chapter 429. This financing was originated either
through the sale of General Obligation Bonds or the PIR fund.
Repayment has been through annual special assessment payments.
The Petition and Memorandum of Agreement under coordination for
Richfield Floral and Nursery contemplates the use of PIR funds
for both interim financing and adoption of the assessment roll
once the project is complete. The annual special assessment
payments at 8$ interest will be repaid to the PIR fund as they
are received. In addition, the interim financing will also carry
the 8% interest rate.
The use of PIR funds, as opposed to bond financing, was selected
due to the size of the requested funding ($13,690) and the fixed
costs of a bond sale. A bond sale would not be practical or cost
effective. The PIR fund, which is used to provide interim
financing for certain City projects, includes an adequate fund
balance to provide this financing.
In the case of this improvement, the fire sprinkler system was
required because Richfield Floral and Nursery is adding an
expansion to their current retail facility.
Included with this letter is a Memorandum of Agreement between
the City of Richfield and Richfield Floral and Nursery. The
agreement covers procedures for planning, construction, payment
of costs, and financing of the improvements. The agreement also
holds the City harmless from claims and/or ,actions arising from
work under the agreement and calls for completion on or before
March 1, 1990.
~~,~ -.
The resolution before the City Council provides for accepting the
petition from Richfield Floral and Nursery, executing the
agreement, and establishing financing alternatives.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended .that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution declaring adequacy of petition and/or local
improvements.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Minnesota Statute 429.031 provides the legal basis for a
Petition for certain fire protection equipment by qualified
facilities.
2. The procedure has been reviewed by the City Attorney and
found to conform with Minnesota Statute 429.031.
3. The Fire and Inspection Divisions have worked with the
applicant to provide a fire sprinkler system to comply with
the fire code.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could decide not to approve the Petition.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Action on this item should take place on December 11, 1989 so
that staff may proceed with implementing this process as soon as
possible.
Respectfully submitted,
James Prosser

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 293
Agenda December 11, 1989
Issue Statement:
Adoption of a resolution approving the adequacy of a Lincoln
Companies petition; authorizing the execution of a Memorandum of
Agreement between the Petitioner and the City of Richfield; and
ordering certain fire protection improvements.
Background
Attached to this Council Letter is a resolution declaring the
adequacy of a special assessment petition from The Lincoln
Companies, authorizing the installation and financing of certain
fire protection facilities at Richfield Shoppes, and authorizing
the execution of a Memorandum of Agreement for said improvements
on behalf of the City. The resolution also authorizes the use of
Permanent Improvements Revolving (PIR) funds to finance the
project on an interim basis and to assume the assessment roll
upon completion of the project.
For the past several years, the City has worked with public and
private entities to bring their respective facilities up to
current fire code standards. Those improvements have typically
centered around the installation of a fire sprinkler system. In
each of those instances, financing was provided by the City
through Minnesota Statute Chapter 429, Special Assessment
Procedures. Financing in those cases was provided either through
the sale of general obligation improvement bonds or through the
PIR Fund. In turn, the facility owner would repay these costs
through an annual special assessment collected with the property
taxes due.
The Petition and Memorandum of Agreement under consideration
concerning the Richfield Shoppes fire suppression improvements
contemplate the use of PIR funds for both interim financing and
adoption of the assessment roll once the project is complete.
Thus, the annual special assessment payments at 8$ interest will
be repaid to the PIR Fund as they are received. Additionally,
the interim financing will also carry the 8$ interest rate.
The use of PIR funds instead of bond financing was selected
because of the cost of selling bonds as compared to the amount to
be assessed (586,000). Thus, a bond sale would not be cost
effective or practical. Further, the PIR Fund balance includes
adequate funding to assume this financial obligation without
jeopardizing funding available for other City projects which may
arise. As you may be aware, the PIR is used by the City to
provide interim funds to finance certain projects such as
sidewalk or alley improvements until bonds are sold for the
project and proceeds received.
Also included is a copy of the Memorandum of Agreement between
the City of Richfield and The Lincoln Companies. The Agreement
~'..~/-
provides for procedures to be implemented for the planning,
construction., payment of costs and financing of the improvements.
Additionally, the Agreement provides for The Lincoln Companies to
indemnify and hold the City harmless through any claims or
actions resulting from the construction of the improvements.
The resolution before the City Council provides for accepting the
Petition from The Lincoln Companies, executing the Agreement and
establishing financing alternatives.
Finally, the Agreement calls for completion of the project before
December 31, 1990.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution declaring adequacy of petition for local improvement.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Fire Division has spent considerable effort working with
The Lincoln Companies at Richfield Shoppes to bring the
facilities up to fire code standards. This Petition would
accomplish that goal.
2. Minnesota Statute 429.031 provides the legal basis for a
Petition for certain fire protection equipment by qualified
facilities.
3. The procedure has been reviewed by the City Attorney and
found to conform with Minnesota Statute 429.031.
4. Without the special assessment process, it is possible that
the fire protection improvements for Richfield Shoppes would
be further delayed.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could decide not to approve the Petition.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Action on this item should take place on November 13 so that
staff may proceed with implementing this process as soon as
possible.

5. It is further understood and agreed that Shoppes shall have full responsibility
and authority for the proper planning and construction of the petitioned
improvements and that disbursements made by the City pursuant to the
provisions of this agreement shall fully discharge the Cityts responsibility
with reference to such improvements, as between the parties hereto.

assessments levied by the City on Shoppes' properties, or against Shoppes,
for the making of the petitioned improvements, up to the amount of City
financing thereof, plus any costs of providing such financing and interest
thereon. Shoppes specifically acknowledges that the City intends to recover
the total of the Costs described in paragraph 4 of this Agreement through
the levy of special assessments against Shoppes properties. For the purpose
of such special assessment, assessable costs shall also include interest at the
rate of 8% per annum on all amounts paid to Shoppes or third parties prior

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 292
December 11, 1989 Agenda
Issue Statement:
Adoption of a resolution establishing urban design guidelines for
the Penn Avenue Sixty-Sixth Street (PASSS) Area.
Background:
The planning study commissioned by the HRA for the PASSS area has
recently been completed. A significant portion of the study was
the formulation of a design framework manual. The Advisory
Committee, staff, the consulting firm of Yaggy-Colby and the
Advisory Committee participated in its drafting. An overview of
the manual was presented at the PASSS neighborhood meeting on
October l8, 1989. The Design Framework Manual was presented to
the HRA at their November 20 meeting. It was presented to the
Planning Commission on November 28.
City Code Section 410 provides for the establishment of urban
design guidelines in designated areas of the community. The
Design Framework Manual is intended to be the urban design
guideline for the PASSS Area. In the past, similar guidelines
were adopted for use in the LHN. Their use has continued to the
present time.
A copy of the Design Framework Manual is attached. It is divided
into four sections:
- streetscape elements
- architectural building elements
- site design elements
- convenience and efficiency elements.
Recommendation•
Adopt the attached resolution which establishes the Design
Framework Manual as a standard to be utilized in evaluating
development proposals.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. A design framework manual will help provide the following:
A. A coordinated system of urban design.
B. A standard by which private development proposals may be
reviewed.
C. A "positive new image" for the area.
D. Coordination of private development design on the various
sites which will be developed; and coordination of the
private development with elements of the public
streetscape. This will help assure that public and
private investment is complementary.
~'"~D O
E. A longer period of economic vitality because the
environment is more pleasant and the surrounding
residential land uses are better protected.
2. The HRA adopted a resolution which approved the manual and
urged the City Council to adopt it as the urban design
guideline on December 11, 1989.
3. The Planning Commission in a resolution, urged the City
Council to approve the manual and adopt it as the urban
design guideline on December 11, 1989.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Direct the staff to modify the manual.
2. Reject the manual.
3. Delay action until a future date.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
If the Design Framework Manual is not approved on December 11,
1989, construction would be permitted that did not comply with
the recommendation of the Committee.

8, 1990; and
WHEREAS, the Council has reviewed the proposed Design
Framework Manual, a copy of which is attached to this resolution
as Exhibit B and finds the same to be necessary and appropriate
to the future unified and harmonious development and
redevelopment of the lands within the PASSS Area; and to be

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 291
Agenda December 11, 1989
Issue Statement:
First reading of an ordinance adopting an Official Map of 77th
Street.
Backcrround
The Richfield City Council has approved the relocated I-494
frontage road to 77th Street; however, actual construction will
not begin for some time. The delay is due, in part, to the
completion of tAe Environmental Impact Statement for I-494 which
could take another 24 months to 30 months. Delay of the
construction creates hardships for some residents in the proposed
redevelopment area, especially senior citizens. They may not be
able to physically maintain their home and property, yet may be
unable to sell because of the impending redevelopment. This may
create financial hardships; not only for seniors, but other home
owners who must move and may not be able to obtain fair and
equitable prices for their homes.
The Metropolitan Council has recognized these situations and,
together with the State, administers a Right-of-Way Acquisition
Loan Fund (RALF). RALF money is available for our residents in
homes being contemplated for buy outs for road construction. In
order for Richfield residents to qualify for RALF money, the City
Council needs to adopt an Official Map of the area. Basically,
an Official Map sets out areas of land within the City which will
be needed for future streets or other public facilities. Once
adopted, the Official Map serves to control the development of
land areas which are designated on the map for future streets or
public facilities. The purpose of this control is to minimize
the cost which the City will ultimately have to pay when the land
is purchased for the street or public facility.
A copy of the Official Map for 77th Street is attached. .The map
specifically identifies the property needed to widen 77th Street,
create a landscape buffer, and create residential loops/cul-de-
sacs as needed. The first page of the map shows the proposed
cross-section. The precise location of the street landscaping,
walls, and loop streets will be determined in the design phase of
the project.
Generally, the map identifies the first lot north of 77th Street
for acquisition. In the Interstate/Lyndale/Nicollet (ILN)
Redevelopment Area, the map reflects the ILN Redevelopment Plan;
including a 20 foot strip of commercial property south of 77th
Street which is included in the plan and the 77th Street
alignment connects to 76th Street near Emerson Avenue.
The Planning. Commission approved the necessary amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan at their meeting of November 28, 1989
clearing the way for the adoption of an Official Map. The
amendment has subsequently been submitted to the Metropolitan
Council for approval. Staff should be notified by December 11,
1989 whether or not Metropolitan Council staff anticipates any
problems with approving the amendment as written.
Recommended Motion:
Approve first reading of the ordinance adopting an Official Map
of 77th Street.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Adoption of an Official Map makes RALF money available to buy
the homes of residents within the new 77th Street Right-of-
Way in hardship cases.
2. The Official Map serves to hold down acquisition costs for
the proposed 77th Street reconstruction by making building in
the area more difficult.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council could choose to delay granting the first reading of this
amendment. However, a delay with this approval will cause delays
to the hardship cases of which we are currently aware.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
First reading of the proposed ordinance is scheduled for the
December 11, 1989 City Council meeting.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter 289
Agenda, December 11, 1989
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and consideration of Planning Commission
recommendation to amend the city's Comprehensive Plan with
respect to the TH77/New Ford Town Area Study.
Background
The TH77/New Ford Town Study (Study) represents a special area
study of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan update.
The Study has been promoted by the need to take a new look at the
land uses which are changing along and adjacent to the TH77
Corridor, and how the changes will integrate into the upgrading
of the area roadways. Also driving the need for this Study are
recent concerns raised by MNDOT and the MPCA requiring the
development of a noise mitigation plan for TH77 relative to land
use along the corridor.
This Study has resulted in the formulation of two concepts one of
which would comprise the amendment to the Land Use Element of the
city's Comprehensive Plan. (Attached are maps indicating the
existing Comprehensive Plan for the area, Concept A and Concept
B.):
The concepts have similarities and differences. Both call for
redesignating land uses. New Ford Town would be redesignated as
being suitable for a mixture of light industrial, retail and
office uses. Use category C on figures 13A and 13B. Currently
it is residential. Slightly less intensive mixed use
development would be located north of 68th Street, Category B
uses on figures 13A and 13B. These same uses are located near
76th Street. Category A uses which are less intensive than B or
C would be located between 68th and 75th Streets.
"Concept A
Concept A represents a minimum land area which would be impacted
by guided change on land use, while still responding to the
area's changing complexion and needs. A landscaped area may be
incorporated along the westerly side of properties presently
fronting along Cedar Avenue to buffer the adjacent residents to
the west. However, the disruption of access to the properties
along Cedar Avenue could occur depending upon how this buffer
area were implemented."
"Concept B
Concept B responds to the changing complexion and needs of the
area, while also enhancing the opportunities for land
aggregation. While Concept B would represent the displacement of
80 more homes than Concept A, Concept B provides more
opportunities than Concept A for planned development and workable
redevelopment of the area. This would be due to the larger
available land area between 68th Street and 75-1/2 Street, along
18th Avenue South, extending Mixed Land Use B Area west to 18th
Avenue. Concept B also provides opportunities for an effective
boundary in order to establish a buffer between the commercial
and residential uses. This may be accomplished by designating
18th Avenue as a one way boulevard, and installing a
landscape/screening area."
The Comprehensive Plan is a guide to land use development. The
change in the Comprehensive Plan would advise residents and
property owners in the area that the preferred future use in
these areas is commercial. The change would increase the
likelihood that the area would be redeveloped to commercial uses.
Developers are more likely to consider redevelopment in this area
if the designation is changed to commercial.
Changing the Comprehensive Plan is not the same as changing the
zoning ordinance. A change in the Comprehensive Plan does not
change the legal zoning classification of property in these
areas. The zoning classification describes the uses which are
legal for the property. The zoning classification is not
affected by this action.
A separate public hearing including notification to property
owners would be required to change the zoning classification. No
such action is planned at this time.
A change in zoning would likely occur in a situation where a
developer approached the city with a plan to use all or a portion
of the these areas for commercial uses. No developer has
approached the city with specific plans for this area.
Cities frequently change a comprehensive plan before changing the
zoning ordinance. This allows the city to encourage a change in
use. At the same time, it permits the city to carefully examine
the impact of the new use before giving zoning approval.
Recommended Motion:
Accept the Planning Commission recommendation and amend the
City's Comprehensive Plan by approving the attached resolution.
The resolution recommends redesignating uses along Cedar to 18th
Avenue for the west side of Cedar and New Ford Town from
residential to commercial.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Planning Commission on April 25, 1989 adopted the DRAFT
TH 77/New Ford Town Study Area.
2. The Planning Commission held a community meeting in June,
1989 to discuss the future of this neighborhood with area
residents.
3. A New Ford Town Questionnaire was sent to New Ford Town
residents on "the future uses of land and the proposed
expansion of the Minneapolis St. Paul International
Airport". (Summary results attached.)
4. The Metropolitan Council reviewed the amendment on November
2, 1989 and made two recommendations (letter attached):
a. To not implement the plan amendment at this time.
b. If the decision is to implement, select either
Concept A or Concept B.
5. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission has also completed
a preliminary review (letter attached).
6. The Planning Commission held a public hearing December 5,
1989 and passed a resolution recommending that the City
Council adopt land use concept B of the TH77/New Ford
Town Study, thereby amending the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
~l ~ - 2--
7. Adoption of Concept B extends the redevelopment area west of
Cedar to include the east side of Cedar to 18th Avenue. This
option is preferred because it allows more space between
buildings and residential areas.
8. The City Council has scheduled a public hearing on December
11, 1989. A notice of public hearing was sent to area
property owners.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Take no action.
2. Recommend approval of the comprehensive plan amendment with
changes.
3. Delay a decision until a future time.
Decision Mode•
A timely decision will permit work to proceed on resolving the
future of the area.

SCATTERED PROBLEMS .........................2$
The tenor of complaints about the parks in these neighborhoods
was particularly critical. One park was repeatedly described as
a littered "mudhole" and virtually unusable.
The City may wish to consider three initial course of action:
(i) Increased visibility of police in this area;
(2) Redevelopment of the parks, especially the "mudhole;"
(3) More visibility of city staff and elected officials
on, ideally, a one-to-one basis.
While services are ranked "satisfactory" by a near majority of
residents, some broader dissatisfaction could be altered by
activities dealing with specific "perceived" deficiencies.
2. If you could make ONE change or improvement in the May in
Mhich the City of Richfield serves you and other residents
in your area, Mhat could it be?
Responses were grouped into a number of classifications:
MORE RESPONSIVE TO RESIDENTIAL NEEDS......19$
MORE HONESTY IN COMMUNICATIONS............18$
BETTER CITY SERVICES .......................9$
STRICTER CODE ENFORCEMENT ..................9$
TREAT AREA ON A PAR WITH REST OF CITY......8$

KEEP RESIDENTIAL ZONING ....................4$
CUT PROPERTY TAXES .........................3$
REDUCE AIRPORT NOISE .......................2$
SCATTERED ..................................1$
NO ANSWER .................................19$
A key concern of residents can be addressed through better
communications. Home owners in these areas should be apprised of
city actions --.particularly as they apply to the Airport -- on a
much more regular basis. Since they will be affected by
decision-making most dramatically, they need more frequent
updates and more details.
3. The City is considerfaq the reclassification of land in New
lord Town and along Cedar ]-venue from residential only --
•ingls family homes and multiple Waits -- to a11oM various
type of commercial uses. I1rs there any types of commercial

NO ANSWER ..................................5$
A majority of respondents oppose commercial development, in and
of itself. If the City were to promote a buy out simultaneously
with any commercial development efforts, resistance would
substantially decrease.
4. lthat do you think should be the chief goal of the City of
Richfield in resolving the airport expansion issue?
Three major categories of answers were. determined:
MARE A DECISION AND PROCEED WITH IT.......27$
BUY OUT RESIDENTS .........................23$

Respondents are generally upset with the lack of
the airport expansion issue. It has-had a parti~
impact during the past year. Ideally, residents

It is clear that as time progresses, morale will further deteri-
orate and a major problem for the City will ensue. Buy out
proponents are adamant and will only accept that option. They
will remain unhappy with any solution short of that result.
Residents who wish to remain were more open to various approaches
for resolving the problem. The key group are the residents who
want any type of resolution, but want it now. The census
suggests that for the long term stability of the community, a buy
out program should be investigated and structured as quickly as
feasible by the City.
S. Rhat advice ~rould you give to policy-makers in Richfield
about their discussions ~fth the xetropolitan airport

The three major pieces of advice suggested by respondents
mirrored the goals that were outlined in the prior question:

While prescribed courses of action were discussed above,
these res~ilts tend to highlight the need for a better
communications program. Citizens need to know exactly whit
the City is attempting to accomplish in its deliberations
with other bodies and agencies.
6.. In general, do you approve or disapprove of the actions
taken so far by the Citp of Richfield in resolving the
airport expansion issues? 1~hy do you feel that pay?
The summary judgment of City actions to date was that they were
ineffective:
CITY IS INEFFECTIVE .......................47$
CITY IS TRYING ............................14$
CZTY IS OBSTRUCTIONIST.....................8$
GENERAL APPROVAL OF AG"TIONS................8$
GENERAL DISAPPROVAL OF ACTIONS .............4$
MOVE AIRPORT ...............................4$
NO ANSWER..:.~ .............................14$
This result, however, must be balanced against the earlier noted
lack of information about City actions to date. But, it is clear
that residents need not only better information; the City needs
to unambiguously declare its position on the future of this area,
and the steps to accomplishing that goal. When the City is
viewed as "obstructionist" or involved in "conspiracies" with
outside agencies, a major public relations task is at hand.
Tactics:
Several tactical recommendations, both fn the short run and long
term, can be deduced:
(1) City services, particularly with respect to the police and
park maintenance, should be upgraded in these areas.
(2) More one-on-one contact should be undertaken by city staff
and elected officials.
(3) A special newsletter, or other communications device, should
4
~/7~/~
be directed toward these areas. It should be frequently pub-
lished, to update residents on the latest developments, and
concern plans with respect to these two areas.
(4) The feasibility of a structured buy out of property should
be examined. Ideally, this should be linker) to any introduction
of new commercial uses in the areas.
Clearly, this .issue fs a very difficult one. And, many residents
are frozen into their current positions on the airport expansion
and buy out possibilities. But, with more attention to the
service needs of this area, better information about activities
and plans, and a well-publicized definition of the city~s
position, the negative atmospherics present can be substantially
reduced.

RE: City of Richfield
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Review
TH 77/New Ford Town Area
Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 13844-3
Dear Mr. Prosser:
At its meeting on November 2, 1989, the Metropolitan Council considered the
city of Richfield's comprehensive plan amendment. This consideration was
based on a report of the Metropolitan and Community Development Committee,
Referral Report No. 89-99. A copy of this report is attached.
The Council adopted the following recommendations contained in the above
report:
1. That the Council adopt the staff report and findings as stated above
as part of these recommendations.
2. Because of the potential impact of the plan amendment on the
metropolitan highway and aviation systems, it is strongly recommended
that the city of Richfield not implement the proposed comprehensive
Plan amendment at this time. The city of Richfield is encouraged to
submit a modified plan amendment that is limited to actions necessary
in the vicinity of TH 77 north of I-494 to 76th Street to comply with
State of Minnesota noise standards and conditions in the TH 77/I-494
Indirect Source Permit (ISP). The city should re-evaluate this
proposal, and possibly resubmit other proposed land use changes along
TH 77 north 76th Street to TH 62 once the MAC Ccattprehensive Plan for
the MSP Airport has been approved by the Metropolitan Council.

3. If Richfield chooses to implement the proposed plan amendment, a
resolution passed by the City Council with an attached map showing
which land use concept (either A or B) will be implemented should be
forwarded to the Metropolitan Council.
Attached is a copy of a letter frcan the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
commenting on the plan amendment.

REPORT OF THE METROPOLITAN AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
REFERRAL REPORT N0. 89-99
DATES October 26, 1989
T0: Metropolitan Council
SUBJECT: City of Richfield Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Land use change for the TH 77/New ford Town Area
Metropolitan Council Referral No. 13844-3
Rerur_~nii~n
At its meeting on October 26, the Metropolitan and Community Development
Committee discussed a staff report and recommendations dealing with the review
of the proposed land use change for the TH 77/New Ford Town Area.
ISSUES AND CONCERNS
Steven Schwanke, Council staff (ext. 6594), presented the report and answered
questions from the Committee. Jim Prosser, City Manager and Bryon Wallace,
Community Development Director from the city of Richfield were presented and
answered questions from the committee.
Committee member Fischer asked whether households would be removed as part
of the redevelopment effort. Mr. Prosser stated that neighborhood residents
would be relocated and that financial assistance for this relocation would be
provided.
Committee member Senden asked whether the city had determined how to finance
the redevelopment-and relocation of the residential neighborhoods. Mr Prosser
indicated that General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds would probably be used to
finance the redevelopment effort. A specific financing plan, however, has not
been prepared to date.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The city of Richfield has submitted a comprehensive plan amendment for the
TH 77/New Ford Town area. The subject area is west of TH 77 from TH 62 to
I-494, and east of TH 77 in the New Ford Town neighborhood. The Rich Acres
neighborhood is not included in the land use change/redevelopment proposal.
t
-2-
•
2. Two land use concepts have been proposed by the city of Richfield. .Both
propose a land use change from residential and mixed commercial uses to
.mixed commercial and industrial land uses-along TH 77. The di#ference
between the two concepts is the width of area west of TH 77. Richfield has
not decided which land use concept to adopt.
3. The purpose of the proposed land use change is to mitigate noise from
automobile traffic on TH 77, TH 62, and I-494, and noise generated by
aircraft at MSP airport. The proposed commercial/industrial land uses
would also be more compatible with traffic generated by_ the commercial
development anticipated in the Airport South District of Bloomington.
4.- Adequate capacity exists within the Metropolitan Disposal System to provide
for the wastewater needs of the proposed land use change and redevelopment
area.
5. The proposed amendment would allow for a change to less noise-sensitive
land uses. Portions of the study area are within areas designated for both
a "preventive" and "corrective" land use management program recommended for
the MSP Airport noise impact area. Local building codes and ordinances
would need to be consistent with Metropolitan Council land use
compatibility guidelines and other FAR Part 150 program elements.
6. Under the Major Airport Dual-track planning strategy, the Metropolitan
.Airport Commission (MAC) must prepare a long-term comprehensive airport
plan-for the MSP airport at its existing location by January 1, 1991. This
.plan will evaluate the need for new runways., ground access needs, land use
safety and noise control. The MSP airport plan could directly affect the
subject area in the New Ford Town plan amendment.
7. A "north-south" runway will be evaluated in the MSP airport plan. The MSP
Adequacy Study assumed removal of the New Ford Town and Rich .Acre
neighborhoods, and land use changes west of TH 77 to accommodate a ••
potential ''north-south" runway.
8. The proposed land use change and redevelopment plan presents the potential
for preventing, or severely restricting the development of a new "north-
south".runway. The proposed amendment may have the potential to impact the
metropolitan aviation system.
7. This propcsed plan amendmen± has demonstrated the need for additional
planning to deal with off-airport land use issues, and to support
implementation of major airport planning and development strategy Track A.
Action would be required by the Metropolitan Council and affected
communities and agencies to initiate such a planning process.
10. TH 77 and connecting roadways are expected to experience significant growth
in :traffic as a result of area development. As part of the indirect source
permit for the TH 77/I-494 interchange, Mn/DOT must prepare a mitigation
-plan by November, 1991, to address the noise generated by
existing/projected traffic on TH 77.
y- / /-, r
-3-
~- 11. The plan amendment proposes a mix of land uses for concept A and concept
8. Concept A could total 4.5 million square feet of mixed development and
concept B could total 5.1 million square feet. Both concept A and B may
have an impact on the metropolitan highway system.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That the Council adopt the staff report and findings as stated above as
part of these recommendations.
2. Because of the potential impact of the plan amendment on the metropolitan
highway and aviation systems, it is strongly recommended that the city of
Richfield not implement the proposed comprehensive pian amendment at this
time. The city of Richfield is encouraged to submit a modified plan
amendment that is limited to actions necessary in the vicinity of TH 77
north of I-494 to 76th Street to comply with State of Minnesota noise
standards and conditions in the TH77/I-494 Indirect Source Permit (ISP).
The city should re-evaluate this proposal, and possibly resubmit other
proposed land use changes along TH 77 north of 76th Street to TH 62 once
the MAC Comprehensive Plan for the MSP Airport has been approved by the
Metropolitan Council.
3. If Richfield chooses to implement the proposed plan amendment, a resolution
passed by the City Council with an attached map showing which land use
- concept (either A or B) will be implemented should be forwarded to the
Metropolitan Council.

SUBJECT: City of Richfield Comprehensive Plan Amendment
TH 77/New Ford Town .Area
Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 13844-3
Metropolitan Council District No. 12
INTRODUCTION _
The city of Richfield has submitted a comprehensive plan amendment for the TH 77/New Ford •
Town -area. The amendment changes land uses from residential, multi-family residential, mixed
commercial, and freeway development to a mixture of office, retail, wholesale, and industrial
uses. Residential is expressly prohibited in the proposed land use designation.. The subject area
is west of Cedar Avenue (TH 77) from I-494 to TH 62 and east of TH 77 in the New Ford
Town area (figures 1 and 2).
The Richfield comprehensive plan amendment proposes commercial land uses to replace existing
residential land uses not only in the TH 77/I-494 interchange area,. but all along .the west side of
Cedar Avenue and the -New Ford Town neighborhood on the east side of TH 77. This land
use change is proposed by Richfield as a means to address noise generated by traffic on TH 77,
and noise generated at the MSP airport. The proposed commercial/industrial land uses would
also be compatible with the intense commercial development in the Airport South District of
Bloomington..
Two land use concepts .have been proposed by Richfield; the difference being in the width of
area west of TH 77. Richfield has not decided which land use concept to adopt. Both
concepts include the following mix of land uses:
~i ~ /S
Land Use 1 Wholesale, light industrial, offices and some retail to support the
office development;
Land Use 2 Retail, eating establishments, wholesale, light industrial, and
offices;
Land Use 3 Hotel/Motel, dining/entertainment, retail, wholesale, offices, and
light industrial
Land use concept A (figure 3) involves almost 105 acres (one full block west of TH 77) and
would allow 4.5 million square feet of mixed commercial uses. Land use concept B (figure 4)
involves nearly 118 acres (two full blocks west of TH 77) and would allow, 5.1 million square
feet of mixed commercial uses.
Residential neighborhoods may be relocated as a way to .implement the land use change and
redevelopment. The city estimates that 2,135 persons live in the study area which includes 920
residential units. Acquisition costs range from 2.9 to 3.1 million dollars per city block. Funding
sources have not been identified by the city. The Rich Acres neighborhood is not included in
the land use change/redevelopment proposal.
Continued urban development along the I-494 strip, including the Mall of America, has resulted
in a number of roadway studies and facility improvements. Improvements to the TH 77/I-494
interchange requires an indirect source permit (ISP). As part of this permit, the MPCA has
directed Mn/DOT to prepare a noise mitigation plan for that part of TH 77 north of I-494 to -
76th street. If the land adjacent to this interchange is to remain in residential use, MPCA will
require construction of noise wall barriers as a condition of the ISP.
Mn/DOT is doing a study of needed roadway improvements on TH 77 (Cedar Ave.) between I-
494 and the 62nd street crosstown to the year 2005. The TH 77 study is a result of major
development in the Airport South District of Bloomington and at MSP International Airport.
The study has been delayed until Richfield adopts a plan amendment so highway development
can be better correlated to the land use. Likely improvements include closing some exits, and
rebuilding the 66th street and 62nd street crosstown exits.
Three documents were submitted by the city as part of the plan amendment:
1. T.H. 77/New Ford Town Stud. April, 1989. City of Richfield Community
Development Department, 36 pages.
2. Land use zone areas by square feet and acres for the T.H. 77/New Ford Town
Study, one page.
3. A memorandum dated August 3, 1989 from Bret A. Weiss of OSM titled,
Sanitary Sewer Flow Analysis For MWCC Line RF-493. 15 pages.

AUTHORITY TO REVIEW
T'he Metropolitan. Land Use Planning Act of 1976 requires that amendments to local
comprehensive plans be prepared, submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and
adopted in the same manner as the original plans (Minn. Stat. 473.864, subd. 2, 1978).
Guidelines adopted pursuant to Minn. Stat. 473.864 for reviewing proposed amendments provide
a 90-day review period for amendments potentially affecting one or more of the metropolitan
systems, and a 60-day review period for amendments that do not have a potential impact on
metropolitan systems.
The city of Richfield submitted its proposed comprehensive .plan amendment on June 1, 1989.
On June 12, 1989, the Chair determined that the amendment presented a potential impact on
the metropolitan transportation, sewer and aviation systems. Therefore, the 90-day review
period applied and was initially scheduled to conclude on September 1, ..1989. An extension
until November 1, 1989 was requested by the city in order to generate additional land use and
sewer flow data.
ANALYSIS
Sewers (Marcel Jouseau and Edward Bloom)
The city. of Richfield indicates the proposed land use change and redevelopment will generate
an additional peak wastewater flow of 1.54 million gallons per day (mgd). This amount of flow
will increase the peak projected flow to the metropolitan. interceptor serving the area (RF-493)
to 4.34 mgd. The capacity of the segment of Interceptor RF-493 that services the area
proposed for development is 4.59 mgd. Adequate capacity is available within the Metropolitan
Disposal System to provide for the wastewater needs of the proposed land use change. and
redevelopment.
Aviation (Chauncey Case)
Under aviation policy # 17, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is to prepare a long-
term comprehensive plan for MSP. This plan for MSP will be available no later than January,
1991. The plan will, among other things, define airfield development, ground .access needs,
terminal and land use needs including utilities, storm water requirements and aircraft noise
impacts.
The proposed land use changes are within aircraft noise zones as defined both by .federal and
state environmental standards. Onlythe federally defined noise impact areas are. included in the
material submitted by the city. of Richfield. These noise impact areas are defined in the MSP
FAR Part 150 study and would be part of the "corrective" land use management program as
recommended by the MAC. "Preventive" land .use measures are covered under the
Metropolitan Council's land use compatibility guidelines. Land uses proposed in the
comprehensive plan amendment would be classified as "conditional" or "provisional".uses. These
classifications would require .that the proposed land uses and subsequent buildings. must meet
certain interior noise levels.
~/7- ~6
Policy #9 of the Aviation Guide Chapter addresses land use and airport compatibility. Airport
operations and land uses surrounding an airport should be compatible. Where incompatibility
exists, affected agencies and jurisdictions should develop a program to mitigate the
incompatibility. It appears that the proposed non-residential land uses are consistent with
Metropolitan Council policy #9. From the perspective of noise impact, the proposed
commercial/industrial land uses may be more compatible. with the existing MSP facility.
According to aviation policy #8, expansion of existing airports should be planned to coincide
with current and expected development, Council plans and policies and local community
comprehensive plans. Aviation Policy #11 states that state and federal safety standards must be
a major consideration in the planning, design, maintenance and operation of air transportation
facilities and services.
Under the 1988 MSP Adequacy Study, the need for additional runway capacity was deemed
necessary to meet both short- and mid-term aviation demand to the year 2008 after which a new
airport may be justified. The Adequacy Study identified the possibility of building two new
runways at MSP as depicted in Figure 5. The proposed North/South runway was evaluated as a
generic runway with several possible orientations. Anew N/S runway may potentially require
the following:
o .The removal of Rich Acres and New Ford town neighborhoods for the
runway/taxiway complex and related clearances;
o The removal of structures along Cedar Avenue to meet federal and state runwa~r
"clear zones" requirements;
o The restriction of certain land use activities in the runway approach/safety zones
which could extend west of Cedar Avenue;
o The control of obstructions to air-navigation through height zoning; and,
o Control of structures and activities causing visual and electronic interference with
aircraft operations.
Most of the land use changes under the proposed comprehensive plan amendment would be
affected by one or more of the above mentioned conditions.
The Metropolitan Council is in the process of adopting an amendment to the Aviation Policy
Plan in response to the recommendations of the MSP Adequacy Study. This amendment will be
adopted by February 1, 1990, as required by Minnesota Laws Chapter 279.
In 1989 the legislature enacted a law which requires the Metropolitan Council to develop
policies and strategies for investigating and evaluating alternatives for major airport development
in the metropolitan area. According to 1989 Minnesota Laws Chapter 279, "[t)he alternatives to
be examined must include both the airport improvements and enhancements of capacity that
may be necessary at the existing airport and the location and development of a new airport."
4
- Also as .part of the 1989 airport legislation, the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan
Airport Commission were required to enter into an interagency agreement regarding major •
airport planning activities.. Under. this agreement, the MAC will evaluate a new N/S runway or
an .alternative that .provides comparable capacity. The Metropolitan Airport Commission has
already made a preliminary assessment of possible additional runways at MSP. These runways
are discussed and ,depicted in Attachment A. Additional evaluation of airport development. will
occur by January, 1991 as part of the MSP comprehensive airport plan.
There is also a need to deal with associated off-airport land use issues in support of
implementing Track A (MSP Airport enhancement) of the major airport planning strategy. The
Richfield land use change and redevelopment proposal should be reconsidered and evaluated in
the context of the overall planning environment concerning MSP. The impacts of changed
aircraft operations (primarily noise) on adjacent residential-and commercial land uses;
consistency of local comprehensive plans with the Council's guidelines for land use compatibility
with aircraft noise; and application of the FAR-Part 150 Land Use Management Plan should be
considered. Redevelopment issues involve the planning, development, timing and costs
associated with rezoning, relocation, and removal and their affects on such things as regional
and local sewer services, surface water control, roads, and property tax revenues 'need to be
addressed.
An overall phased plan for the affected MSP Airport communities should be established to
reflect the projected development at the airport. Identifying the specific affect of MSP
development on neighboring communities is required under the 1989 Metropolitan Airports
Planning Act. This requirement for major airport Track A (MSP enhancement) planning is -
incorporated in the revised Aviation Guide.. A public hearing for the revised Aviation Guide
will be held by the Metropolitan Council on November 16, 1989.
Approval of Richfield's land use changes at this time could have a significant impact on the
development options for the existing airport. This land. use change could prevent or severely
restrict improvements to the existing airport because the proposed development could
significantly change the feasibility, nature, cost and extent of the improvements.
Highways (Connie Kozlak)
Policies number 12 and 13 of the Transportation Policy Plan state:
Policy 12 - "The Metropolitan Council will work with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation and local units of government to ensure the metropolitan highway system
and its supporting road system are built and designed to adequately serve travel demand
to the extent possible, to provide for the safety of users and to minimize negative
impacts on the environment."
Policy 13 - "Local comprehensive plans are required to be consistent with the
Transportation Development Guide/Policy Plan and should recognize the special
transportation opportunities and problems that various geographic areas present."

~j7-~~
The indirect source permit requirement for noise mitigation affects only the TH 77/I-494
interchange area.. A noise wall barrier north to 76th Street is a potential mitigation solution.
However, the city's preferred approach is to change land uses along Cedar Avenue.
This plan amendment proposes three different mixed land use scenarios, which include office,
hotel/motel, restaurant, retail, wholesale and light industrial. These types of land uses are
compatible with an adjacent freeway, although the amendment does not indicate the expected
densities. Supplemental information submitted by the city indicates Concept A could total 4.5
million square feet of development while Concept B could total 5.1 million. The information
does. not indicate how this total number of square feet breaks down into each of the more
specific uses. Assuming a minimum of 1.3 employees per 1000 square feet for 100%
development as warehouse and 3.3 employees for maximum development as 100% office shows
the employment forecast could be as low as 5900 or as high as 16,900 employees. The current
assumptions in the regional traffic model is for 4100 employees. by'2010 in this portion of
Richfield. Even the minimum projected number of employees for the redevelopment area
exceeds current assumptions and could have an impact on the regional highway system.
Mn/DOT will be studying improvements to TH 77 such as access changes, which would increase
the roadway capacity. The access changes would have to be consistent with the Transportation
Policy Plan (TPP) which shows that ramp metering should be added to TH 77 by 2010. The
TPP does not .show any other improvements to TH 77 such as additional lanes.
FINDINGS
The city of Richfield has submitted a comprehensive plan amendment for the TH
77/New Ford Town area. The subject area is west of TH 77 from TH 62 to I-494, and
east of TH 77 in the New Ford Town neighborhood. The Rich Acres neighborhood is
not included in the land use change/redevelopment proposal.
2. Two land use concepts have been proposed by the city of Richfield. Both propose a
land use change from residential and mixed commercial uses to mixed commercial and
industrial land uses along TH 77. The difference between the two concepts is the width
of area west of TH 77. Richfield has not decided which land use concept to adopt.
3. The purpose of the proposed land use change is to mitigate noise from automobile
traffic on TH 77, TH 62, and I-494, and noise generated by aircraft at MSP airport.
The proposed commercial/mdustrial land uses would also be more compatible with traffic
generated by the commercial development anticipated in the Airport South District of
Bloomington.
4. Adequate capacity exists within the Metropolitan Disposal System to provide for the
wastewater needs of the proposed land use change and redevelopment area.
5. The proposed amendment -would allow for a change to less noise-sensitive land uses.
Portions of the study area are within areas designated for both a "preventive" and
"corrective" land use management program recommended for the MSP Airport noise
impact area. Local building codes and ordinances would need to be consistent with
6
Metropolitan Council land use compatibility guidelines and other FAR Part 150 program
elements.
6. Under the Major Airport Dual-track planning strategy, the Metropolitan Airport
Commission (MAC) must prepare along-term comprehensive airport plan for the MSP
airport at` its existing location by January 1, 1991. This plan will evaluate the need for
new runways, ground access needs, land use safety and noise control. The MSP airport
plan could directly affect the subject area in the New Ford Town plan. amendment.
7. A "north-south" runway will be evaluated in the MSP airport plan. The MSP Adequacy
Study assumed removal of the New Ford Town and Rich Acre neighborhoods, and land
use changes west of TH 77 to accommodate a potential "north-south" runway.
8. The proposed land vse change and redevelopment plaa presents the potential for
preventing, or severely restricting the development of a new "north-south" runway. The
proposed amendment may have the potential to impact the metropolitan aviation system.
9. This proposed plan amendment has demonstrated the need for additional planning to
deal with off-airport land use issues, and to support implementation of major. airport
planning and development strategy Track A. Action would be required by the
Metropolitan Council and affected communities and agencies to initiate such a planning
process.
10. TH 77 and connecting roadways are expected to experience significant growth in traffic-
as a result. of area development. As part of the indirect source permit for the TH 77/I-
494 interchange, Mn/DOT must prepare a mitigation plan by November, 1991 to address.
the. noise generated by existing/projected traffic on TH 77.
1 L The plan amendment proposes a mix of land uses for concept A and concept B.
Concept A could total 4.5 million square feet of mixed development and concept B
could total 5.1 million square feet. Both. concept A and B may have an impact on the
metropolitan highway system.
RECOMMENDATIONS
L That the Council adopt the staff report and findings as stated above as part of these
recommendations.
2. Because of the potential impact of the plan amendment on the metropolitan highway
and aviation systems, it is strongly recommended that the city of Richfield not implement
the proposed comprehensive plan amendment at this time. The city of Richfield is
encouraged to submit a modified plan amendment that is limited to actions necessary in
the vicinity of TH 77 north of I-494 to 76th Street to comply with State of Minnesota
noise standards and conditions in the TH 77/I-494 Indirect Source Permit (ISP}. The
city should re-evaluate this proposal, and possibly resubmit .other proposed land use
changes along TH 77 north of -76th Street to TH 62 once the MAC Comprehensive
Plan for the MSP Airport has been approved by the Metropolitan Council.
7
~i~ ~~
3. If Richfield chooses to implement the proposed plan amendment, a resolution passed by
the City Council with an attached map showing which land use concept (either A or B)
will be implemented should be forwarded to the Metropolitan Council.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 266
Agenda December 11, 1989
Issue Statement:
Presentation of Government Finance Officers Association Award for
Distinguished Budget.
Background•
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States
and Canada (GFOA) has recently announced that the City of
Richfield, Minnesota has received GFOA's Award for Distinguished
Budget Presentation for its 1989 budget. This award is the
highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. Its
attainment represents a significant accomplishment to the
Management and elected officials of the City of Richfield,
Minnesota.
The award process is initiated when a government submits their
budget document for review by a panel of independent budget
experts. Using extensive criteria, the reviewers evaluate the
effectiveness of the budget as:
1) A Policy Document

was the first City in Minnesota to ever receive the Award For
Distinguished Budget Presentation and has received this Award
each year thereafter.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 287
Agenda December 11, 1989
- Issue Statement:
Approval of an application for a permanent 1989 On-Sale and
Sunday Intoxicating Liquor license for The Ground Round, Inc.
located at 1500 East 78th Street.
Background:
On November 13,.1989, City Council approved of a temporary On-
Sale and Sunday Intoxicating Liquor license for The Ground Round,
Inc. as a result of a substantial amount of stock changing hands
which the City Attorney had determined constituted a change in
ownership. The new owners submitted their application on
November 6,-1989 and paid the required fees. A temporary license
was granted by the City Council on November 13, 1989 because
Public Safety staff had not yet had an opportunity to complete a
background investigation on the three new additions to the Ground
Round Inc. Board of Directors.
A thorough background investigation has been completed on the
three new additions to the Ground Round Inc. Board of Directors:
David H. Clarke-Chairman of the Board, J. Eric Hanson-President
and Michael R. Jorgenson-Vice President.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of a permanent 1989 On-Sale and Sunday
Liquor license for The Ground Round, Inc.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The applicant has submitted all of the necessary documents to
staff and has paid the necessary fees.
2. The required insurance binder has been submitted.
3. A thorough background investigation has been conducted on the
three new additions to the Board of Directors. Each
individual's criminal history and intelligence record checks
were negative. Credit reports on all three indicated
excellent credit ratings.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide not to grant a permanent On-Sale and
Sunday Liquor license for the Ground Round, Inc. This would
mean that after December 11, 1989 the establishment would be
unable to legally serve food or liquor of any kind.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Consideration of a request for th
On-Sale and Sunday Liquor license
being presented for City Council
e issuance of a permanent 1989
for The Ground Round, Inc. is
approval at this time.

Round Inc., 1500 East 78th Street.
Backcrround
On November 6, 1989, we received the renewal applications for On-
Sale and Sunday Liquor licenses for The Ground Round Inc. All
required fees have been paid.
Public Safety's investigation is complete and reveals the
following:
There were three individuals added to the Board of
Directors in 19.89 due to a substantial amount of stock
changing hands which constituted a change in ownership.
They are: David H. Clarke, J. Eric Hanson and Michael R.
Jorgensen. A copy of the list of officers of the
corporation is attached to this letter. Mr. Stephen
Nordness continues to serve as the general manager of the
restaurant. None of these individuals has any known
- criminal record.
- All general sales, real estate and withholding taxes have
been paid and are current.
- The lease with A.G. Bogen (property owner) is in effect
and all. payments are current.
- The $10,000 bond issued by Reliance Insurance Company has
been submitted.
- The required proof of liquor liability insurance
coverage has been received showing National Union Fire
Insurance Company as affording the required coverage. Proof of
workers compensation insurance coverage was also supplied.
A statement has been prepared and submitted by Gary Serino,
C.P.A. This statement covers the period from October 1988
through October of 1989 and indicates that food sales
accounted for 57$ of the total sales, while beer and wine
sales accounted for 43~ of the total sales.
From December of 1988 through November of 1989 there were 45
Public Safety contacts with the Ground Round. This compares with
42 contacts for the previous year. A breakdown of these contacts
is attached to this letter.
,~
Environmental health staff received one complaint concerning a
fence on the property that was in need of repair. A letter was
'- sent to The Ground Round Inc. and the problem was resolved
immediately. There have been no other complaints received since
then.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the renewal of the 1990 On-Sale and Sunday Liquor
licenses for The Ground Round Inc.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both
city codes and state statutes pertaining to on-sale and
Sunday liquor licensing.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the
investigation conducted, there appears to be no reason to
deny the renewal of the licenses requested.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to continue the hearing, however, if
the hearing is continued beyond January 1, 1990, the Council
should consider the granting of a license extension to allow
the applicant to continue to sell liquor until the
rescheduled hearing can be conducted.
- 2. The Council could decide to supsend or revoke the licenses.
Any suspension or revocation must, according to Minnesota
State Statutes 340A.415, be based upon a finding that the
licensee has failed to comply with an applicable statute,
rule or ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages. The
Council must also note that no revocation or suspension takes
effect until the licensee has been afforded an opportunity
for a hearing under Section 14.57 to 14.70 of the
Administative Procedure Act.
It appears that the licensee has not committed any violation
relating to alcoholic beverages and therefore, it is recommended
that the licenses not be revoked or suspended.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the requests for the renewal of
The Ground Round Inc. On-Sale and Sunday Liquor licenses has been
scheduled for December 11, 1989. These licenses expire January
1, 1990. Therefore, if the council decides to continue the
hearing beyond December 11th, any subsequent hearing should be
held before the licenses expire.

and other required documents for the Club On-Sale and Sunday
Liquor licenses for Fred Babcock V.F.W. Post No. 5555. The
applicant has paid the required license fees.
The Public Safety background investigation has been completed and
reveals the following:
- Two new officers, Mr. Charles D. Thyr and Mr. Thomas J.
Goalen were elected as post officers during 1989. Mr. James
P. Lawler and Mr. Richard D. Christie continue to serve as
the other two post officers. Mr. Roy J. Hitchcock continues
to serve as club manager. None of these individuals has any
known criminal record.

been paid and are current.
- The property and building continue to be owned by Fred
Babcock V.F.W. Post No. 5555.
- The 510,000 bond issued by United Fire & Casualty Company
has been submitted.
- The applicant has not supplied proof of liquor liability
insurance coverage, but they have assured the City that as
soon as their insurance agent and the managing board decide
on which carrier will be affording the required coverage, a
copy of a certificate of insurance detailing this coverage
will be sent to the city before January 1, 1990. The
applicant has supplied proof of worker's compensation
coverage.
- An accountant's statement has been prepared and submitted.
This statement covers the period from July 1988 through
June 1989 and indicates that food sales accounted for 48%
of the total sales, while beer and wine sales accounted for
52$ of the total sales. It should be noted that the
kitchen in this establishment was closed for extensive
remodeling for three months in 1989 and no food was able to
be served during this time period. This accounts for the
reason the liquor sales were higher than food sales.
From December of 1988 through November 1989 there were 31 Public
Safety contacts with Fred Babcock V.F.W. Post No. 5555. This
~ -~
_ compares with 23 contacts for the previous year. A breakdown of

letter and the problem was resolved immediately. There have been
no other complaints received since.

The Public Safety background investigation has been completed and

- Mr. Arthur E. Pew III has made application for an on-sale
and Sunday liquor license under the name Richfield
Restaurant Acquisition Company d/b/a Champps Sports Cafe.
Mr. Pew will become the sole owner of the restaurant. Mr.

- Under his ownership, Mr. Pew plans on focusing on expanding
/-~
the food area from its current offerings.
- Background criminal history records checks with the FBI,
White Bear Lake Police Department, Ramsey County Sheriffs
Office, the State of Pennsylvania or the State of Illinois

credit, that he has never declared bankruptcy
and has no outstanding suits pending in Federal or District
Court.
- All general sales, real estate and withholding taxes have
been paid and are current.
- The lease between the applicant and the property owner,
Market Plaza Commercial Ltd., is in effect with all
payments current.
- The $10,.000 bond issued by Great American Insurance Company
has been submitted.
- The required proof of liquor liability insurance coverage
has been received showing Park Glen National Company as
affording the required coverage. Proof of workers
compensation insurance coverage was also supplied.
- An accountant's statement has been prepared and submitted.
This statement covers the period from October 1988 through
October of 1989 and indicates that food sales accounted
for 58$ of the total sales, while liquor sales accounted
for 42~ of the total sales.
From December of 1988 through November of 1989 there were 102
Public Safety contacts with Champps. This compares with 106
contacts for the previous year. A breakdown of these contacts is
attached to this letter.
Environmental health staff received nine complaints in 1989
regarding Champps. Five of those complaints related to garbage
and debris on the property. One complaint was food related and
was referred to Bloomington sanitarians. Two complaints related
to grease/food odors and one complaint related to a noise
problem. These have all since been resolved and no other further
complaints have been received by staff.
It should also be noted that 181 daily inspections were conducted
by Public Safety personnel on the garbage and parking lot areas
of this restaurant due to concerns in this area. Champps
has continued to cooperate in working toward resolving
problems that existed relating to garbage and parking
lot problems. Bloomington sanitarian staff have continued
working with Champps on the proper servicing needs of equipment
used in assisting in keeping grease/food odors to a minimum.
Champps seems to be committed to doing whatever is necessary to
alleviate problems in this area as well.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the issuance and renewal of the 1990 On-Sale and Sunday
Liquor licenses for Champps Sports Cafe.
-~~/~
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both
city codes and state statutes pertaining to on-sale and
Sunday liquor licensing.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the
investigation conducted, there appears to be no reason to
deny the license requested.
3. The applicant has a solid background in the business field
and his financial profile indicates that he is a solid
investor with the financial means necessary to purchase
this business.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The council could decide to continue the hearing, however, if
the hearing is continued beyond January 1, 1990, the council
should consider the granting of a license extension to allow
the applicant to continue to sell liquor until the
rescheduled hearing can be conducted.
2. The council could decide to suspend or revoke the licenses.
Any suspension or revocation must, according to Minnesota
State Statute 340A.415, be based upon a finding that the
licensee has failed to comply with an applicable statute,
rule or ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages. The
council must also note that no revocation or suspension
takes effect until the licensee has been afforded an
opportunity for a hearing under Section 14.57 to 14.70 of the
Administrative Procedure Act.
It appears that the licensee has not committed any violation
relating to alcoholic beverages and therefore, it is recommended
that the licenses not be revoked or suspended.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the requests for the issuance and
renewal of Champps Sport Cafe On-Sale and Sunday Liquor licenses
has been scheduled for December 11, 1989. These licenses expire
January 1, 1990. Therefore, if the council decides to continue
the hearing beyond December 11th, any subsequent hearing should
be held before the licenses expire.

Agenda December 11, 1989
Issue Statement:
Renewal of 1990 Club On-Sale and Sunday Liquor Licenses for
Minneapolis-Richfield American Legion Post 435, located at 6501
Portland Avenue South.
Background:
On November 17, 1989, the city received the renewal applications
and other required documents for the club on-sale and Sunday
liquor licenses for Minneapolis-Richfield American Legion Post
435. The applicant has paid the required license fees.
The Public Safety background investigation has been completed and
reveals the following:
- Two new officers, Mr. Merv. Becker and Mr. Joe Pregler were
elected as post officers during 1989. Mr. James Daly and
Mr. George Evans continue to serve as the other two post
officers. Mr. Colin Fowler continues to serve as club
manager. None of these individuals has any known criminal
record.
- All real estate and withholding taxes have been paid and are
current.
- Minnesota state sales taxes in the amount of $18,525 are due
to the Department of Revenue and as of this date have not been
paid.
- The property and building continue to be owned by the
American Legion.
- The 510,000 bond issued by United Fire & Casualty Company
has been submitted.
- The required proof of liquor liability insurance coverage
has been received showing Acceptance Indemnity Insurance
Company as affording the required coverage. Proof of
workers compensation insurance coverage was also supplied.
- An accountant's statement has been prepared and submitted.
This statement covers the period from July 1988 through
June 1989 and indicates that food sales accounted for 50.4%
of the total sales, while beer and wine sales accounted for
48.6% of the total sales. The remaining 1% accounted for
banquet room rentals.
From December of 1988 through November of 1989 there were 59
Public Safety contacts with the American Legion. This compares
with 61 contacts for the previous year. A breakdown of these
contacts is attached to this letter.
The environmental health staff received one complaint in 1989
regarding the restaurant. Environmental health staff contacted
Bloomington sanitarians and an inspection of the restaurant was
conducted. The complaint was found not to be valid. No other
complaints have been received by environmental health staff
since.
~/o
Recommended Motion:
Approve the renewal of the 1990 Club On-Sale and Sunday Liquor
licenses for Minneapolis-Richfield American Legion Post 435
provided that payment of all Minnesota state sales taxes in
arrears is .made by December 11, 1989.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both
city codes and state statutes pertaining to on-sale and
Sunday liquor licensing with the exception of payment of
state sales taxes.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the
investigation conducted, there appears to be no reason to
deny the renewal of the licenses requested providing state
sales taxes are paid.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to continue the hearing, however, if
the hearing is continued beyond January 1, 1990, the council
should consider the granting of a license extension to allow
the applicant to continue to sell liquor until the
rescheduled hearing can be conducted.
2. The Council could decide to suspend or revoke the licenses.
Any suspension or revocation must, according to Minnesota
State Statutes 340A.415, be based upon a finding that the
licensee has failed to comply with an applicable statute,
rule or ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages. The
Council must also noted that no revocation or suspension
takes effect until the licensee has been afforded an
opportunity for a hearing under Section 14.57 to 14.70 of the
Administrative Procedure Act.
It appears that the licensee has not committed any violation
relating to alcoholic beverages and therefore, it is recommended
that the licenses not be revoked or suspended.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the requests for the renewal of
Minneapolis-Richfield American Legion Post 435 Club On-Sale and
Sunday Liquor licenses has been scheduled for December 11, 1989.
These licenses expire January 1, 1990. Therefore, if the Council
decides to continue the hearing beyond December 11th, any
subsequent hearing should be held before the licenses expire.

Council Letter No. 278
Agenda December 11, 1988
Issue Statement:
Adoption of Change Order No. 1 for the 1989 "Joint Cleaning and
Resealing" project.
Background:
The 1989 Joint Cleaning and Resealing Project was originally
scheduled to repair and reseal as much concrete pavement as
possible on 65th Street from Pillsbury Avenue to Rae Drive and
along Rae Drive from 65th Street to 66th Street.
During the plan preparation phase of the project, it became
apparent that insufficient funds were available to complete the
entire length of the project.
During the construction phase of the project, it was learned that
the Streets Maintenance Budget was $44,000 under budget due to
$26,000 saving from the 1989 sealcoat program and an $18,000
rebate from the 1988 sealcoat contractor.
In an effort to complete as much of the proposed joint cleaning
and resealing project as possible $28,989.20 of the $44,000 of
unspent maintenance budget was spent to expand the project.
The addition of $28,989.20 to the project budget allowed us to
repair and reseal that part of 65th Street from Lyndale Avenue to
Graham Avenue.
Recommended Motion:
Approve Change Order No. 1 to City Project 89-21 in the amount of
$28,989.20.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The funds added to this project had already been budgeted for
Street Maintenance.
2. Funds added to this project were unspent and unencumbered.
3. Because of the lateness of the season and the availability of
the contractor's crew, the decision was made to spend the
available funds for this project.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for the December 11, 1989 regular City
Council meeting. Staff is requesting approval at that time.

Agenda December 11, 1989
Issue Statement:
Approval of Change Order No. 1 to City Project No. 708-1569,
Storm Sewer Improvements at 66th Street/Fourth-Fifth Avenues.
Background:
When the storm sewer improvement projects for 66th Street/Fourth-
Fifth Avenues and 66th Street/Newton Avenue were bid earlier this
year, the projects were lumped together for bidding purposes.
Originally, 66th Street was to be opencut; however, Hennepin
County rejected the proposal to opencut and requested the pipe be
installed by jacking underneath 66th Street. Because County
officials insisted the 66th Street surface not be disturbed, the
66th Street/Fourth-Fifth Avenue project was separated from the
66th Street/Newton Avenue project, was redesigned and rebid.
Bids for the revised project were opened on October 2, 1989.
Shortly after the project was begun, it was determined that
jacking the pipe in place was not possible. After lengthy
discussions with County staff, it was decided that our contractor
would be allowed to opencut 66th Street. A permit was issued and
approved by Hennepin County. The necessary design changes were
made under the existing contract, rather than delay the project
any further. The change came to a net deduct total of $5,829.12.
Recommended Motion:
Approve Change Order No. 1 to S.M. Hentges in the deduct amount
of $5,829.12.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. In order for this project to be completed in 1989, it was
necessary to proceed with the changes indicated without
delay. The work represented by this change order has already
been accomplished.
2. This change order decreases the project cost by $5,829.12.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Council may choose to delay a decision on this item, but the work
has been completed and staff is requesting approval at this time.

in Storm Sewer Easement at 6848 Third Avenue.
Background:
The house at 6848 Third Avenue was built directly on top of a
storm sewer line. Currently, the city has an easement which runs
on either side of the line. The owners of the house want the
city to route the storm sewer line around the house if the pipe
should fail sometime in the future while the house is still
there. In order to accommodate any future repair of the pipe,
city staff has negotiated a new easement which would allow us to
route the pipe down to the pond without disturbing the structure.
In 1953, the builder of the house provided a certificate of
survey which did not show the easement, and so a building permit
was issued.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that council approve completing the easement
transaction for 6848 Third Avenue.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The easement is needed in case of any future repairs needed
for the storm sewer pipe.
2. The current easement is inadequate for our needs.
3. The sale of the house cannot be completed until the easement
transaction is final.
Alternative Recommendationy however
Council may choose to dela a decision on this item,
there is a buyer for the house, and both parties involved are
anxious to close the deal as soon as possible.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Staff is requesting approval at the December 11, 1989 regular
council meeting.

Council Letter No. 276
Agenda December 11, 1989
Issue Statement:
Purchase of 1990 trash pickup services at city-owned facilities.
Background:
Trash pickup is required at all city facilities on a regular
basis. The Community Services Department requested quotations
from licensed haulers for trash hauling from all city-owned
facilities, excluding the liquor stores, for calendar year 1990.
Four quotes were received for monthly and extra trash pickups:
Vendor
Quality Waste Control, Inc.
Buckingham Disposal, Inc.
Waste Management Company
Browning-Ferris Industries
1990 Estimated Annual Amount
$19,961.00
20,255.40
27,732.00
28,500.00
The various sites budget for their portion of the service. Due
to the variety of needs, costs will vary from site to site; i.e.,
City Hall will have more frequent pickups than Fire Station #2.
Due to seasonal demands, costs may vary from month to month at an
individual site; i.e., the golf course has more frequent pickups
during the golf season.
The following is a generalized comparison of quoted monthly costs
for 1985-1990 without regard for the variations indicated above:
Vendor
1985 Expert Disposal, Inc.
1986 Expert Disposal, Inc.
1987 Buckingham Disposal, Inc.
1988 Buckingham Disposal, Inc.
1989 Buckingham Disposal, Inc.
1990 Quality Waste Control, Inc.
Average Monthly Amount
$ 572.50
$ 752.83
$ 728.19
$ 795.81
$ 946.00
(recommended) $1,663.42
Recommended Motion:
Approve a 1990 Master Purchase Order with Quality Waste Control,
Inc. in the estimated sum of $19,961.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Quality Waste Control submitted the low quotation, and is a
reputable, licensed hauler.
2. Adopted 1990 budgets include funding for this service;
however, due to new state regulations for landfills, tipping
fees have caused rates to increase by nearly 100$. Budgets
will need to be revised to reflect this increase.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council could reject all proposals and direct staff to obtain new
quotations; however, staff does not believe we could obtain
better prices.
Discussion/Decision Mode: g p Inc. will end

Council Letter No. 266
Agenda December 11, 1989

- n Issue Statement:
Presentation of Government Finance Officers Association Award for
Distinguished Budget.
Background:
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States
and Canada (GFOA) has recently announced that the City of
Richfield, Minnesota has received GFOA's Award for Distinguished
Budget Presentation for its 1989 budget. This award is the
highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. Its
attainment represents a significant accomplishment to the
Management and elected officials of the City of Richfield,
Minnesota.
The award process is initiated when a government submits their
budget document for review by a panel of independent budget
experts. Using extensive criteria, the reviewers evaluate the
effectiveness of the budget as:
1) A Policy Document
2) An Operations Guide
3) A Financial Plan
4) A Communications Device
To receive the Award, the Budget Document must be rated as
'_ proficient in all four categories.
Since 1984, the first year it was issued, only a few hundred
governmental entities have received the Award for Distinguished
Budget Presentation nationwide. Winning budgets represent truly
pioneering efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and
provide excellent examples for other governments throughout North
America. Since 1984, this year represents the fifth time the
City of Richfield has received this Award,-, The City of Richfield
was the first City in Minnesota to ever receive the Award For
Distinguished Budget Presentation and has received this Award
each year thereafter.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council present the Budget Award
Plaque to the Administrative Services Director on behalf of the
City of Richfield, and commend the Department Heads and Finance
Manager, Jean Mitchell, for the 1989 Budget Document.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Presentation of the Budget Award should be made at the December
11, 1989 City Council Meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
r~~:.
J es D. Prosser
City Manager
