Agenda January 9, 1989
Resolution requesting conveyance of tax forfeited property
located at 6500 Oliver Avenue South, Richfield, MN, and approving
public sale of tax forfeited property located at 6221 Lyndale
Avenue South, Richfield.
Issue Statement:
Background:
Each year Hennepin County notifies municipalities of tax
forfeited non-conservation land located within each respected
community. As provided in Minnesota Statute 282, each
municipality may either approve of the parcels for public sale
for auction to adjacent property owners under certain conditions
or request conveyances to the municipality for public use. In
each event, the City is requested to forward their authority to
Hennepin County by City Council resolution.
For 1988-1989, two properties in Richfield have been identified
as tax forfeited property; 6221 Lyndale Avenue South and 6500
Oliver Avenue South. Either property could be obtained by the
City of Richfield by request. City staff has carefully
considered each of the two properties and has made a
recommendation to the City Council contained within the attached
• resolution concerning the disposition of these two tax forfeited
properties.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution requesting conveyance of tax
forfeited property located at 6500 Oliver Avenue South in the
city of Richfield and authorizing public sale of tax forfeited
property located at 6221 Lyndale Avenue South.
Basis For Recommendation:
1. Certain tax forfeited properties are available to the City
of Richfield as determined by Hennepin County.
2. The tax forfeited property at 6500 Oliver Avenue South
would be advantageous for future redevelopment in that
area.
3. Tax forfeited property at 6221 Lyndale Avenue South has no
value to the City in terms of municipal ownership.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. City Council could decide not to request conveyance of the
property at 6500 Oliver Avenue South.
2. City Council could decide to request conveyance of the
property at 6221 Lyndale Avenue South, as well as the
property at 6500 Oliver Avenue South.
0 Discussion/Decision Mode:
The City's determination of these matters is due on or before
January 26, 1989. The official City position must be provided to
Hennepin County in the form of a city council resolution. Thus,
action at the January 9 City Council Meeting would allow adequate
time to prepare the appropriate documentation and forward them to
Hennepin County well within the allowed time frame.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
0 Council Letter No. 11
Agenda January 9, 1989
Issue Statement:
Public hearing on a conditional use permit at 6405 Cedar Avenue.
Background:
Southdale Manor, Inc. has filed a new request for a conditional
use permit to allow the operation of the Ugly Duckling Rent-A-Car
business at 6405 Cedar Avenue.
On August 8, 1988 the City Council denied a request for a
conditional use permit for the same use. Later in August, 1988
Mrs. Jankowski, on behalf of the applicant, represented that the
Ugly Duckling Rent-A-Car facility would be utilized for office
use only. Further, it was stated that a drop off/pickup site
would be located in Minneapolis and the Cedar Avenue site would
only be used as an office. An office use is permitted, without a
conditional use permit, as long as there is no drop off, pickup
or storage of cars at the site.
However, it appears that this public garage category of use has
continued to operate as a single site car rental agency without a
conditional use permit. This violation apparently has continued
since at least December, 1987 and the Department of Public Safety
is pursuing an enforcement action.
is For a chronology of events, see attachment A.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the requested conditional use permit for a rent-a-car
business (Ugly Duckling Rent-A-Car) at 6405 Cedar Avenue as
submitted with the following stipulations:
1. The offstreet parking area be improved in accordance with
City ordinance.
2. The offstreet parking area be landscaped and screened
subject to staff approval.
3. The premises not be utilized for vehicle repair nor storage
of inoperable vehicles.
4. A cash escrow in an equivalent amount to cover the cost of
landscaping, parking and screening improvements be provided
to the City to ensure completion according to,City
requirements and that the landscaping escrow be held for one
year to ensure maintenance and viability of the landscaping.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of
the conditional use permit.
2. The applicant has agreed to bring the curb cuts to the
minimum width requirement of 26 feet.
3. The on-site drainage plan has been submitted and approved by
the City Engineer.
4. There would be at least 23 parking spaces available which is
adequate for the office/retail use and the car inventory as
submitted. The applicant has indicated that there would be
no more than twelve cars at any given time related to the
operation.
5. The applicant suggested at the Planning Commission hearing
that the parking area at the northeast quadrant of the site
would not be used for storage of cars belonging to Ugly
Duckling Rent-A-Car. Should the area be used for storage
purposes, it must be sufficiently screened from public view
by a wooden fence.
6. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the site be developed
for mixed land use. The existing commercial/office use
including the car rental business is consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the conditional use permit.
Decision/Discussion Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled on Monday, January 9, 1989 at
Richfield City Hall. Written notice of the public hearing has
been mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the site.
Legal notice was published in the Richfield Sun Newspaper.

Dear Mr. Kazi:
Enclosed please find the applicaiton for a conditional use
permit for the purpose of using the property located at 6405
Cedar Avenue South, Richfield, MN as an office and parking
lot for Ugly Duckling Rent-A-Car of Minneapolis, pursuant to
Section 549.09, city ordinance. Acheck for the required
filing fee is also enclosed.
We are glad to finally reach a position where we can proceed
to complete the work necessary to comply with city requirement,
because of a long term lease which has been negotiated with
the property owner.
Also enclosed is a drawing of the proposed lot showing the
building, parking areas and dimensions. The following items
should be noted:
1. The curb cuts would be 26 feet. Immediately upon approval,
work will be completed.
2. During the operation of Ugly Duckling Rent-A-Car in the
past approximately six years, no more than twelve cars have
been parked on the lot at any time. The drawing allows for
24 parking spaces, plus one large handicapped spot. There are
six additional spaces reserved for the use of Color Specialities,
the landlord's business. (See enclosed letter dated March, 1988)
3. The drainage plan has been approved by Michael Eastling
as indicated by his initials on the original, which is enclosed.
4. It is understood that the petitioner will comply with all
building and sign ordinances, and it is further understood that
the structure is waivered for set back requirements.

Re: NOTICE TO CEASE BUSINESS
Dear Mr. Jankowski:
On at least two previous occasions you have been notified by my
office to discontinue business until you have obtained a
conditional use permit from the city council. To date, that has
not happened. In addition, on September 16, 1988, a member of my
staff verified that in fact you are still operating out of 6405
Cedar by offering cars for rent.
In view of this, you are violating sections 520.19 and 545.09 of
the Richfield Zoning Ordinance.
You are hereby notified to cease business at this location by
September 30, 1988, and continue to do so until a conditional use
permit is granted by the city council. Failure to do so will
result in the city pursuing legal action.

If you fail to submit your revised plan by June 6, 1988, the city
will take the appropriate measures to ensure that the Ugly
Duckling Rent-A-Car business cease operation at 6405 Cedar
Avenue.
Please call me if you have any questions.

Dear Sirs:
411'1-1Y-
This letter is to inform you as to the use Color Specialties
Inc. makes of the property at 5405 Cedar 'Avenue South. Our
business is all done by phone order or mail order. The orders
come in and are filled by a part time person who works from
one to three hours per day. A secretary does all the other
necessary tasks here. UPS picks up all the orders being
shipped once each day.
My secretary, parks her car here all day. The part time
worker uses a bicycle in good weather, and a pick up the rest
of the year. The company has no local customers and has no
walk in, or drive in trade. In the past 12 years the company
has never needed any more personnel than that described above.
I, as the owner, spend from one to three hours a day at the
office. We therefore, never park more than two vehicles
here at any time.
I feel that the Ugly Duckling management runs a good clean
business and is an asset to this community. They always
strive to keep the area clean and in good order.
'Cordially yours,

RE: Item #1
Case #88-CUP-3
Agenda of -L, 1988
Commission Members:
TELEPHONE 861-5047
In response to the request for conditional use permit for car
rental operation at 6405 Cedar and public hearing of same before
you this evening, I submit the following.
I am the adjacent property owner of the subject property. We
own and occupy the property immediatly to the south, 6409-17 Cedar,
lots 3-4-5, Block 8, New Ford Town and I would like to strongly
oppose the granting of the conditional use permit for a rental car
operation at this location due to the following.
1. The property for which the permit is being requested has
no access to Cedar Avenue which causes the present owners
to depend entirely on access through my two drives. The
present traffic is more than can be handled properly and
the proposed increase would not be tolerable.
2. The very limited amount of footage on the property would
not allow for operation of this type of business and it
would result in what already has become a problem at times,
the overflow of vehicles into the street and on our lot
to accommodate parking.
3. We have also noticed many vehicles standing on this prop-
erty which are older, non-operative units and,lead to a
very unsightly appearance and feel that this would only
increase as the volume grows.
4. We also have reason to believe that the person with whom
you have been dealing with regarding this matter is not
the titled owner of this property but rather only perhaps
the renter/lessee ?
Thank you for taking the time to consider our opposition to
the granting of this conditional use permit.

To: Richfield City Planning Commission
In response to the public hearing notice for granting a conditional use permit
for Ugly-Duckling Rent-a-Car, Inc, located at 6405 Cedar Avenue South.
I own the building across the street at 6345 Cedar and operate Arbor Construction
and Lawnmasters Landscaping Inc. from that sight. My concern with a rental car
company mould be the number of cars attempted to handle in such a limited space.
We need on street parking on our side of 64th for our business purposes.
If they are granted a conditional use permit, I feel strongly that they should
not be allowed to have more vehichles than their parking lot can handle.
My other concern would be the quality of the vehicles he has parked on his
lot or on the street. I feel it would be important that all vehicles be in
operating condition.
Thank you very much.

Dear Mr. Jankowski:
This letter is in response to your letter dated
2/1/88 regarding your non-compliance with the City
of Richfield Zoning Code. Your application for
Conditional Use Permit is not complete, therefore,
is unacceptable. You must also note that you have
missed a number of application deadlines for
Conditional Use Permit.
Should you decide to operate your business at the
above mentioned location, a Conditional Use Permit -
must be obtained prior to such operation. March
22nd would be the earliest Planning Commission
meeting this item could be placed on if a completed
application is received by February 29, 1988.
Should you have any questions, call me at 869-75219

Dear Mr. Jankowski,
This letter is a follow-up of our conversation on
January 14, 1988 regarding the Notice of Non-
Compliance with Richfield City Code, (dated December
29, 1987 from Sivert Hendrickson), which requires
that you obtain a conditional use permit with an
off-street parking permit prior to operating an
automobile rental business on given premises.
You have indicated that a conditional use permit
would be submitted before January 22nd, which was
the deadline for the Planning Commission meeting on
February 16, 1988. The next Planning Commission
meeting is scheduled for March 22nd and the deadline
for application is February 29th. However, in order
to avoid any citation for Non-Compliance of the City
Code, you are asked to submit a letter of intent
regarding compliance within a reasonable time frame
by January 27, 1988. The city will then take
appropriate action on the subject.
Should you have any questions
of this letter, please contact
extension 512. Thank you.

City Code which requires a special use permit prior to
operating an automobile rental business on given premises.
Although you had a special use permit to operate at

to make application for a special use permit for your
proposed use. Applications must be made to our Community
Development Department and your petition will be considered
by the'City Planning Commission and City Council. An
off-street parking contract is also required to be included
in the ipecial Use permit approval process.'

Council Letter No. 10
Agenda January 9, 1989
Issue Statement:
Public hearing on a request for a temporary conditional use
permit for vehicle parking at 1420 East 78th Street.
Background:
Discus Corporation has requested a conditional use permit to
allow the use of the old Mr. Steak site (1420 East 78th Street)
for overflow parking for Rodeway Inn guests. On January 5, 1989,
Mr. Jeff Bemel of Rodeway Inn requested withdrawal of the
application.
Recommendation:
Cancel the public hearing.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Notice of the public hearing was published in the
newspaper. Therefore, a cancellation of the public hearing
by the City Council is necessary.
Decision/Discussion Mode:
A public hearing was scheduled for the January 9, 1989 City
Council meeting. The request has been withdrawn, the hearing
may now be cancelled.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
. Council Letter No. 9
Agenda January 9, 1988
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading of an ordinance to amend the
City code to prohibit the parking of utility trailers in front
and side yards.
Background:
The Public Safety Department has received complaints of one or
two instances where utility trailers have been parked for long
periods of time (months) in the front of a home or in side yards
which has disturbed neighbors.
The issues are:
- Trailers of this nature can be unsightly.
- City ordinances do not specifically address the issue.
The ordinance regulates trailers, but is preceded by a
discussion on trucks and tractor trailers.
The City Attorney is hesitant to interpret the current
ordinance to include trailers of this nature. (Ref:
City ord. 1320.03 attached).
• - City ordinance 1305.27, Subd. 5 Prohibits parking of
motor vehicles in front yards except in driveways. Motor
vehicles are defined as self propelled which excludes
utility trailers.
- City ordinance 1325 deals with recreational vehicles and
they are restricted to parking in:
a. Rear or side yard.
b. Not closer than three (3) feet of a building.
C. On an established driveway and not closer than
twelve (12) feet of the curb line.
d. Can be stored anywhere on a lot for not more than
48 hours.
At the November 7, 1988 Council Workshop, the Council discussed
certain alternatives to this problem. The Council directed staff
to include utility trailers in the definition section of the
recreational vehicle ordinance (Sect. 1325.03). By doing this,
utility trailers would have to comply with parking requirements
identical to recreational vehicles:
- May park on any rear or side yard except the side yard of
a corner lot.
- Not closer than three feet to any building or structure,
including fence.
C7
In an established driveway, but not closer than three
• feet to any structure and not closer than twelve (12)
feet to the curb line.
Must not be in a state of disrepair.
Slip-on campers can be stored in the same manner as
recreational vehicles.
In a further review of the ordinance, it was discovered that
RV's could be stored on property without having a current
license. Section 1325.11 was added to the proposed ordinance
amendment to cover this issue.
First reading of this ordinance was held on November 14, 1988 and
the public hearing scheduled for December 12, 1988. Due to a
legal publishing error, the public hearing was re-scheduled for
the January 9, 1989 City Council meeting.
Recommended Motion:
Hold the public hearing and approve the amendment to the City
code to prohibit the parking of utility trailers in front and
side yards.
Alternative Recommendations:
1. The Council could elect not to do anything which would
leave the situation as is, no specific regulations as to
where these vehicles can or cannot park.
2. The Council could direct staff to prepare aniordinance
which prohibits utility trailers anywhere in 'a residential
neighborhood.
3. Council could direct staff to prepare an ordinance
amendment that would prohibit utility trailers from parking
on any front yards except established driveways. This
approach probably would not accomplish anything.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
If the City Council approves the ordinance, it would become
effective 30 days after publication, or approximately February
18, 1989.
Respectfully submitted,

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter Number 8
January 9, 1989 Agenda
Issue Statement:
• Public hearing and second reading of an ordinance which would
restrict the issuance of permits in the Penn Avenue Sixty-Sixth
Street Planning Area (PASSS). The ordinance is attached.
Background:
An interim development resolution was passed on December 12
restricting the issuance of all permits or other approvals in the
PASSS area pending final consideration of the attached interim
ordinance.
The interim, or moratorium, ordinance is designed to restrict
development or redevelopment in the PASSS area which would
negatively impact the planning process. The City Council and HRA
have directed staff to conduct a PASSS area study, several
meetings have been held with an Advisory Committee and
preliminary research accomplished. Random development or
redevelopment of underutilized properties during the planning
process may well intensify problems such as parking and traffic
or result in development which is inconsistent with the final
proposed plan.
The interim ordinance in restricting permits recognizes the need
of businesses and property owners to conduct business and
maintain their property. Section 3, subdivision 1, on page 4
sets forth the exceptions to the regulations permitting normal
• maintenance and limited additions or new construction of $25,000
or increase of ten percent of fair market value.
It should be noted that projects in process are not precluded by
this moratorium. The conditional use permit already granted for
a restaurant on the old Arby's site would allow construction as
approved. Similarly, the boundary of the district has been
adjusted to permit the construction of a dry cleaning business at
6613 Penn Avenue. this has been under review and revision as
requested by staff since its proposal late last spring.
The interim ordinance would be effective for ten months from the
date of publication. This will allow sufficient time subsequent
to the plan completion this summer to modify any ordinances
necessary to properly regulate the area consistent with the
plan.An interim ordinance strategy has been utilized for other
redevelopment areas in the city. Within the LHN, restrictions
were placed on the block now occupied by Woodlake Point and
Market Plaza prior to redevelopment. More recently, restrictions
placed on the ILN expired in September, 1987. In both instances,
the objective was to permit time to formulate a comprehensive
planning frame work for the area so that development could be
pursued systematically.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the ordinance following the public hearing.
• Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City has deliberately embarked upon a program to
improve and enhance the commercial areas of our community.

4. Continued piecemeal development activity in the area
will frustrate the implementation of a comprehensive
plan and exacerbate existing problems.
5. The HRA adopted the attached resolution at their meeting
on December 5, 1988. The resolution urges the Council to
adopt the proposed legislation.
6. The PASSS Advisory Committee met on December 6, 1988. The
concept of restricting the issuance of permits during the
planning framework study was noted.
7. The Planning Commission discussed the ordinance at their
meeting on December 13, 1988 and raised no objections.
8. Notice of the public hearing appeared in the Sun-Current
on December 28, 1988.
9. Letters explaining the proposed ordinance and announcing
the hearing were mailed December 27, 1988, to people with
an interest in property in the PASSS Study Area as
well as those with an interest in property for 350
feet from the study area boundary.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Pursue the ordinance but on a different time 'schedule.
2. Not support the proposed ordinance.
Decision/Decision Mode:
Property owners and tenants are making decisions regularly on
their property. To protect the planning process, the resolution
and ordinance should be pursued now to minimize additional
problems.

AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ADOPTED FOR
THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE PLANNING
PROCESS IN A CERTAIN AREA OF THE CITY,
REGULATING, RESTRICTING AND PROHIBITING
CERTAIN USES, DEVELOPMENTS AND
SUBDIVISIONS WITHIN SUCH AREA
CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1.
A. The City is concerned with the proper and more economic use, devel-
opment and possible redevelopment of that area of the City generally referred
to as "Penn Avenue Sixty-Sixth Street Study Area" hereinafter referred to as
the "Area," the boundaries of which Area are more specifically described as
follows:
Beginning at the intersection of the Southerly right-of-way line
of Co. Hwy, No. 62 and the Easterly property line of Lot 3, Block
1, Leslie Terrace Addition, thence in a line along said Southerly
right-of-way line to its intersection with the Westerly right-
of-way line of Oliver Avenue South. Thence, Southerly along said
Westerly right-of-way line to its intersection with the Southerly
right-of-way line of West 66th Street. Thence, Westerly along
said Southerly right-of-way line to its intersection with the
Easterly property line of Lot 10, Block 6, Fairwood Park Addi-
tion. Thence, Southerly along said Easterly property line, as
extended, more or less, to its intersection with the: Southerly
right-of-way line of West 68th Street. Thence, Westerly along
said Southerly right-of-way line to its intersection with the.
Easterly right-of-way line of Penn Avenue South. Thence, South-
erly along said Easterly right-of-way line to its intersection
with the Southerly property line of Lot 15, Block 9, Tingdale
Brothers Lincoln Hills Second Addition. Thence, Westerly along
said. Southerly property line, as extended, to its intersection
with the Easterly property line of Lot 16, Block 1, Tingdale
Brothers Lincoln Hills Third Addition. Thence, Northerly along
said Easterly property line, as extended, to its intersection
with the Northerly right-of-way line of West 67th Street. Thence
Westerly along said Northerly of sight-of-way line to its inter-
section with the Easterly right-of-way line of Queen Avenue
South. Thence, Northerly along said Easterly right-of-way line
to its intersection with the Southerly property line of the
vacated alley (12-17-67 filed) abutting the Northerly property
line of Lot 21, Block 1, Tingdale Brothers Lincoln Hills Addi-
tion. Thence, Westerly along said vacated alley property line,
as extended, to its intersection with the Easterly right-of-way
•
line of Russell Avenue South. Thence, Northerly along said
Easterly right-of-way line to its intersection with the Northerly
• right-of-way line of West 66th Street. Thence, Easterly along
said Northerly right-of-way line to its intersection with the
Westerly right-of-way line of Queen Avenue South. Thence,
Northerly more or less, along said Westerly right-of-way line to
its intersection with the Southerly right-of-way line of West
65th Street. Thence, Westerly along said Southerly right-of-way
line to its intersection with the Westerly property line of Lot
2, Block 1, Harry Tickner's Subdivision. Thence, Northerly along
said Westerly property line, as extended, to the point of
beginning, except the North 40 feet of Lot 8 and the South 110
feet of Lot 9, Fairwood Park Addition.
B. There are a number of planning and land use issues arising in the
Area which require comprehensive planning and the consideration of official
controls as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.352, Subdivision 15,
among which are the following:
1. The City is deficient in commercial and industrial tax base. Very
little undeveloped land remains within the City. The location of
the Area is. such that with proper planning it has the potential to
provide a location for valuable and desirable commercial and/or
industrial development within the City. Absent such planning, the
opportunity for such development may be lost.
2. The Area presently contains tracts of underdeveloped land which may
not be developed to the optimum without improving access and im-
proving traffic patterns.
3. The Area may best be developed pursuant to a unified plan and/or in
large segments rather than on a piecemeal basis.
4. The Area contains a number of buildings which are aging and appear
to be in a deteriorating condition. Some parts of the Area present
a poor visual appearance because of such factors as lack of uniform
setbacks, unrelated facades, inadequate or inappropriate loading and
unloading areas, insufficient parking, excessive 'land coverage,
conflicting traffic movements and other functional inadequacies.
5. The Area is bounded by single-family residence districts which are
jeopardized or adversely affected by non-residential traffic. There
appears to be a need to relocate and redesign streets and other
traffic control facilities in and around the Area so as to safeguard
such residential areas and so as to minimize land use conflicts. It
appears necessary and desirable to formulate a long-range master
plan for control and movement of traffic within and around the Area.
6. It appears necessary and desirable to avoid further piecemeal
development and redevelopment of the Area so as to reverse the
undesirable. development patterns which have existed and which now
exist within the Area including fragmented land ovnership and
under-utilization of the land.
2
7. It appears that there are or may be substandard building conditions
and structures within the Area.
• B. It appears that by reason of sociological and technological changes,
as well as by reason of dilapidation, obsolescence and the faulty
arrangement or design of buildings and improvements in the Area,
there is a need for comprehensive planning and development of the
Area.
9. It appears that there is or may be excessive land coverage in some
parts of the Area, deleterious land use, and obsolete layout of land
tracts and developments, requiring planning and redevelopment.
10. The foregoing factors and other factors are found to be injurious to
the health, safety, morals and welfare of the citizens and property
owners of the City and persons occupying property or working and
being in and around the Area.
11. The presence of such conditions has caused an impairment of the
value of private investments, has threatened sources of public
revenues, has deprived the community and its residents of better
facilities and job opportunities, and has otherwise adversely
affected the public welfare.
C. There is a need to consider the formulation of a new comprehensive
plan and program, together with official controls for the development and/or
redevelopment of the Area. Such plan and program and controls will require
intensive study over a number of months. There is a need for an interim
ordinance applicable to the Area for the purpose of protecting the planning
process and the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City and to
insure that the City and its citizens retain the benefits of the new compre-
hensive plan and development-redevelopment program and new official controls
for the Area. There is a further need to regulate, restrict or prohibit
uses, developments or subdivisions of land within the Area during.
the planning process, so as to avoid the occurrence of events
which will be inimical to the orderly development and
= redevelopment of the Area in future years.
Section 2. During the period that this interim ordinance is in effect,
no privately owned property within the area shall be developed or redeveloped
nor shall any licenses or permits, rezonings, plattings or land divisions
pursuant to Richfield City Code be issued by the City for any such development
or redevelopment except as provided in Section 3 hereof.
Section 3. Subdivision 1. Notwithstanding the limitations, restric-
tions, and prohibitions contained in the foregoing Section 2, the City may
grant license renewals for licenses previously issued for activities within
the Area; and may grant permits for development or redevelopment within the
Area if it finds that the development or redevelopment involved will comply
with the following criteria:
C]
3
A. The permit will not involve the construction of a new building or
• the enlargement of an existing building at a cost of more than
$25,000.
B. The construction will not materially change the future use, devel-
opment or redevelopment of the property involved or any adjacent
properties.
C. The construction will not increase the fair market value of the
property involved by more than ten percent.
D. The construction of the improvement will not intensify traffic or
parking problems on the subject property, adjacent properties, or
adjacent highways and streets.
E. The proposed project will not exacerbate or intensify conflicts
between residential and non-residential traffic within the Area.
F. Granting of the permit will not make a material difference in or
create a serious impediment to the development or redevelopment of
the property involved upon completion of the planning process.
G. Subject to the limitation contained in Section 3, Subdivision 1,
paragraph A. the construction will permit (a) the better utilization
of an existing structure on the same property, or (b) the repair,
maintenance or safeguarding of existing structures, or (c) the
completion of building interior improvements which are necessary to
the property continued utilization of the property pending the
planning process.
Subd. 2. The provisions of this ordinance shall not prevent the City
from processing licenses, permits, rezonings, plattings or land divisions up
to the point of, but not including, their actual issuance if the project or
projects involved will comply with the following criteria:
A. The project will be on a single tract of land within
the Area having an area of at least 80,000 square feet
and will involve development or redevelopment which
will have an estimated market value in excess of
$2,000,000 per acre.
B. The project involved is consistent with and complementary to the
development or redevelopment of other adjacent properties within the
Area.
C. The proposed project will, in the opinion of the council, contribute
to and accelerate the development or redevelopment of the balance of
the Area.
Subs 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing Subdivision 2,
no license, permit, rezoning, platting or land division shall be issued for
any project described in that subdivision unless the site for the project is
removed from the provisions of this ordinance by an amendment to Section 1-A
. hereof.
4
#,/L
Subd. 4. The provisions of this ordinance shall not prevent the final
approval of any subdivision which was given preliminary approval prior to the
• effective date.
Subd. 5. The provisions of this ordinance shall not prevent rezoning to
any of the districts specified in Section 530 of the City Code or the issuance
of any licenses, permits, plattings or land divisions in connection with any
Planned Unit Development.
Section 4. This ordinance shall remain in effect for a period of ten
months from its effective date, provided that in the event the planning
process has not been completed within the ten month period, its effectiveness
may be extended for such additional periods as the City Council may by
resolution determine to be appropriate, not exceeding a total additional
period of eighteen (18) months.

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.
High service pumps move water from the Water Plant to the
distribution system. The approved 1989 budget contains $22,000
for a high service pump replacement project. This will be the
third pump of the four to be replaced on a systematic schedule.
On November 28, 1988, Council approved the purchase of valves for
this project in the amount of $10,600. The pump to be replaced
in this same project is 24 years old. Staff obtained quotations
from three companies for a 4,000 gallon-per-minute (gpm) pump
with all column and shafting:
Bergerson-Caswell,.Inc. $19,107.00
Layne Minnesota Company $13,990.00
E. H. Renner and Sons $11,882.95
10
Recommended Motion:
Approve the purchase of a 4,000 gpm pump from E. H. Renner and
Sons in the amount of $11,882.95.
2. There is sufficient funding available for this ',work.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. E. H. Renner and Sons submitted the lowest quotation, met
all staff specifications and is capable of performing the
work.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to reject all quotations and direct staff to
obtain new quotes; however, staff does not believe we can obtain
a better price from a reputable manufacturer.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Staff is requesting approval at this time in order to assure that
all work will be completed by May 1, 1989, thereby avoiding "down
time" during the heavy use periods of the summer months.
