r1 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 184 Agenda, July 25, 1988 Issue Statement: Appointments to the Community Services Commission and the Planning Commission. Background: There is currently one vacancy on the Community Services Commission for a term which expires January 31, 1991 and one on the Planning Commission for a term which expires January 31, 1990. Council Members interviewed applicants on July 11, 1988. Recommendation: Make an appointment to the Community Services Commission and one to the Planning Commission. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Applicants have been interviewed. 2. The vacancies should be filled to insure quorums on these Commissions. Alternative Recommendation: The Council could make appointments at a future Council meeting. Decision/Discussion Mode: This item has been scheduled for the July 25, 1988 City Council meeting. Respectfully submitted ??r 4 James D. ser City Manager JDP:sae • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 183 . Agenda July 25, 1988 Issue Statement: Approval of amendment to Subsection 715.17, Subd. 2 of the Richfield City Code of 1987. Background: When the City originally built the present water system, the City also purchased various-sized water meters. These meters were then purchased by property owners for new construction or for conversion from private wells. The monies received from the sale of these meters was recorded as a liability in the Water Utility Fund and classified as "deposits." As of July 1, 1988, $533,583.67 has been collected for these deposits. Within the last three years, the Water Department has replaced all of these original meters. The replacement meters have been recorded as a capital outlay purchase. Deloitte, Haskins and Sells, the City's Auditor, has recommended that the City consider an amendment to the above ordinance whereby the amount of the water meter deposits be considered contributed capital of the Water Utility Fund. This recommendation reflects a more appropriate way of accounting for water meter costs especially in light of the replacement meter • program. Recommended Motion: Approve first reading of the amendment to Subsection 715.17, Subd. 2 of the Richfield City Code of 1987. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The original water meters installed have been replaced as a direct cost to the Water Utility Fund. 2. These deposits totalling $533,583.67 should be reclassified as contributed capital in the Water Utility Fund. Alternative Recommendation: Not approve the amendment. The financial records would then continue to reflect a liability for water meter security deposits. Discussion/Decision Mode: It is recommended that the City Council act on July 25, 1988 to approve first reading of the attached amendment. R p ctfull ubmitted, J es D. P sser • City Manager JDP:eja CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 182 Agenda July 25, 1988 Issue Statement: First reading consideration of an ordinance amendment to Section 210.01, Subd. 4 of the City Code entitled Salary-Review. Background- At the June 13 City Council meeting, while considering a proposed salary increase for the Mayor and Council Members, City staff was given direction to review potential inconsistencies between the City Charter, the Ordinance Code and City Policy concerning Council salaries. After a careful review of the three documents, it appears that one subdivision of the City Ordinance Code is not in agreement with the City Charter and recently adopted Policy. Subdivision 4 of the City Ordinance Code, Section 210.01, now states that the City Council shall review salaries annually by December 1 of each year. However, insofar as the Policy and Charter tie City Council salary increases to years in which an election is held, the current language of Subd. 4 appears to be inappropriate. Therefore, a modification to that language has been drafted and is submitted for consideration by the City Council. Recommended Motion: Approve first reading of the attached ordinance amendment to • Section 210.01, Subd. 4. Basis of Recommendation: 1. City Council has directed staff to find any inconsistencies between the City Charter, City Ordinance Code and City Policy on City Council salary increases. 2. The above-referenced section code has been identified as being inconsistent with Policy and City Charter and should be changed. 3. The change proposed herein would put the three documents in complete agreement. Alternative Recommendation: 1. _ _The City Council could determine that it did not wish to amend the City Ordinance Code. 2. The City Council could elect to provide optional language in modifying Subd. 4. Discussion/Decision Mode: There is no urgency in amending this ordinance. However, it might be advantageous to make this amendment now so that the ordinance will be in place before any future Council salary deliberation. fitted, Resp ctful rsser James D. City Manager JDP:sae CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 181 Agenda July 25, 1988 Issue Statement: Second reading and public hearing on the request for rezoning and common element subdivision of the property at 7312 Lyndale Avenue. Background: Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Smith, have requested the rezoning of 7312 Lyndale Avenue from 'R' single family residence district to MR-2 Multiple Residence district. A common element subdivision is also being requested to allow the construction of seven townhouses in two structures. The existing building is in poor condition. Petitions in favor of the rezoning have been submitted but a number of property owners have also expressed their opposition to the rezoning. Ordinance Requirements: 1. Section 515.41 thru 515.65 indicates the regulations for MR-2 district. 2. Section 535.07 outlines the performance standards for townhouses. 3. Section 500.09 outlines the regulations for common element subdivision. 4. Section 545.11 outlines the regulations governing the rezoning. Recommendation: 1. Approve the rezoning of the property from 'R' single family residence to MR-2 multiple family residence district to allow the construction of seven townhomes in two structures. 2. Approve the common element subdivision of the property. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The City Council on July 11, 1988 gave first reading consideration to the ordinance amendment for the rezoning of the property. 2. Analysis of the proposal against City ordinances are outlined in the following table: Table Required Proposed Minimum Land Area 17,500 sf 35,080 sf Minimum Floor Area/dwelling 950 sf 21088 21700 s.f. unit Maximum Lot Coverage (30%) 12,278 sf 9,930 sf Maximum Open Space (400 sf/dwelling unit) 2,800 sf 26,050 sf Minimum Setbacks: Front 30 feet 30 feet Rear 25 feet 25.8 feet Side 25 feet 20-32 feet Maximum Height 42 feet 25 feet Maximum Separation 25 feet 65 feet Minimum Parking 14 p.s. 32 p.s. (Two per dwelling unit) Minimum curb cut width 26 feet 26 feet The above table indicates that the proposal meets all city regulations for an MR-2 district except that the sideyard setback would be less than the required 25 feet if the deck extends 12 feet from the main structure. The applicant indicated at-the Planning Commission hearing that the width of the deck would be reduced in order to have the required sideyard setback. In addition, according to the Parking Guide for Cities, U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Public Roads, 1956, the recommended aisle width is 22 feet for a 90 degree drive layout and the applicant has proposed a 26 foot aisle width (see Attachment A, Figure 4-33). 3. There are 42 mature trees on the site. The applicant proposes to maintain 14 trees. The site plan indicates some • additional plantings and shrubs on all sides of the property. The construction of any new structures would involve cutting down the number of trees. The landscaping plan is adequate. 4. The abutting properties are zoned 'R' district except one lot to the west which is zoned for (MR-1) two family dwellings. The site plan indicates a 6 foot privacy fence along the westerly property line extending 32 feet along the northerly and southerly property line. It is staff's opinion that the proposed screening is adequate. 5. The proposed common element subdivision is in conformance with the City's subdivision regulations. 6. The proposal meets the regulations for townhomes except for the sideyard setback from the deck. If the applicant proposes to build the deck as proposed it would require a sideyard setback variance. 7. The approval of the rezoning would be consistent with medium density residential development since the site is on an arterial street, i.e. Tyndale Avenue. 8. Three two family dwelling and a single family home could be • developed on the site with a conditional use permit without changing the zoning of the property from 'R' to MR-2. /4 . 'L 9. The Comprehensive Development Plan designates the property as medium density buffer, MR-2 (multi-family) zoning. The use would be consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan. Alternative Recommendation: Deny the rezoning and subdivision of the properties for seven townhomes based on the following: -The denial would be based on the fact that most of the properties on the block are single family residential uses. Therefore the proposal would be incompatible with the neighborhood. -The Planning Commission voted 5-3 to recommend denial of the rezoning request. Discussion/Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for second reading consideration and public hearing at 7:00 p.m., Monday, July 25, 1988. Appropriate notices have been mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. Legal notice was also published in the newspaper. • JDP:sae Respectfully submitted, James D.

H S. P ;ill N July 19, 1988 0 Dear Council Members: This letter is in regards to the proposal to put in 7 townhomes on Lyndale and 73rd. We, the undersigned, are very concerned about the off-street parking availability that Mr. Smith is proposing. It is our opinion that a 2 car garage (with supposed parking availability right in front of the garage doors), and a total of only 4 guest parking spots is not at all acceptable for 7 townhomes having 3 bedrooms each. We foresee several problems: 1. It is highly likely the townhomes could have tenants owning more than 2 cars (one tenant per bedroom). 2. We believe tenants would soon tire of playing "musical parking spot" when one roommate needs to get their car out of the garage and another car is blocking it. 3. We see them instead choosing to avoid the hassle by parking in the neighborhood residential area. 4. Guest parking of only 4 spots is not at all adequate to handle 7 townhomes. Where would more guests park? The neighbors of this area already have a serious problem with on-street parking due to the Metro Dental Building. We see daily the problems of what too many cars parked on a street can do - accidents and near accidents - due to blocked vision. We are terribly concerned about safety in our neighborhood for both adult and children alike. We feel this proposal will not give ample off-street parking, and we do not think it is right to expect us to watch our nice neighborhood become an overflow parking lot due to these townhomes!! We strongly urge you to consider this valid concern of ours. Perhaps we would be more agreeable if the proposal were changed to allow for fewer townhomes with plenty of off-street parking. Sincerely, Bob and Jan Berge 7345 Aldrich Avenue South Phone: 869-5900 P.S. See attached sheet for additional signatures. • k )avid ? Sad ?? ? ' .Y NV V l W i /V REQUEST FOR REZONIi.v FROM ??

VLiSCI -47 f v in i • Ile, Z?3 0 0 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 180 Agenda July 25, 1988 Issue Statement: Public hearing on a request for a conditional use permit at 7201 Fourth Avenue South (Hope Presbyterian Church). Background: Hope Presbyterian Church has requested a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a latch key day care program for 50 kindergarten through sixth grade children at the old Portland School site. The program would operate weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The property is zoned single family residential "R" district which allows a latch key day care program with a conditional use permit. This former school building now houses several other community organizations as well as the church operated nursery school. Neighbors have expressed their concerns and objection to the increased traffic on the neighborhood residential streets. The petitioner intends to utilize the southeast entry for dropping off and picking up children. Although entrance to the parking lot is on Portland, signage indicates that Portland may not be used as an exit, thereby forcing traffic onto the neighboring streets. The petitioner indicated that this was not their intention and will work with an engineer and staff to correct the signage, close some curb cuts and widen others. Recommended Motion: Approve the conditional use permit for a latch key day care program for 50 children at the old Portland School (7201-4th Ave. So.) with the following stipulations: 1. The day care facility meet the City fire and building codes. 2. The curb cut on Portland Avenue be widened to meet the City curb cut width requirement of 26 feet. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The Planning Commission on June 28, 1988 at their regular meeting recommended approval of the conditional use permit request. 2. The site has 308 parking spaces. There would not be any shortage of parking on the site. 3. The proposed use would be compatible with tho present uses in the building. There is an outside play area near the facility and applicant stated that it was to be upgraded. 04. The abutting properties are residential uses. The proposed use would be compatible with the surrounding use. Alternative Recommendation: Deny the conditional use permit for a latch key day care program for fifty children at 7201-4th Avenue. Discussion/Decision Mode: A public hearing is scheduled at 7:00 P.M. Monday, July 25, 1988. Notices were mailed to property owners within 350 feet. Legal notice of the public hearing was also published. Resp tfullyC ted, L? J roes D. P r City Manager JDP:sae • 0 II ?_ 1? , i! ?_ Vo F O U R T H A V E N U E S. 29 25,-- .,11?1?

Memo to Towhid Kazi Because of the press of time, we are moving ahead on the assumption that Permit will be granted. This action is not meant to put you, the Commission, the Council, or anyone else under pressure. If the request is turned down, we understand that we will have to abandon our plans without holding anyone but ourselves responsible. As 1 mentioned in my May 23, letter to the Community Development Department, we were un- aware of the need for the permit and thus have been tardy in persuing the process. We hope you, the Commission, and the Council agree that the service the latch-key program will provide to the community will far off-set whatever minor disruption the program will create on the site. Thank you all for your consideration and co-operation. Sincerely, James C.

The tone of your letter indicates to us that your plans are set in place and will be activated this fall. We are saddened by the fact that it appears the impact-of these plans on your neighbors is of such little consequence. We have two very serious concerns regarding the day care service: 1. The additional automobile traffic that will be generated on our once quiet street. What are your estimates and plans for controlling? 2. The establishment of a major private venture on our residential street. As the day care center is not an activity central to your church it would appear to us that you need a city council approved exception to city codes governing residential streets. We look forward to your reply. Sincerely, Te I ( , Robert J. Anderson Marie Anderson 7239 4th Avenue So. Richfield, Mn. 55423 0 cc: Mayor Steven Quam 0 5.,... ? y, t9$g 10 "-)1N..

Allan Talley Robes C Malcolm Richard A Davis Craig T Wahlund Melvin J Steinbron Patricia L Peterson John W Hall James C Shirley Hope Presbyterian Church, 7132 Portland Avenue South, in Richfield is applying for a Conditional Use permit from the City of Richfield in order to begin a before and after school latchkey program for children in Kindergarten through Grade Six. During recent months, a task force from our congregation has been established to research the need for good affordable child care for school-age children in the Richfield community. This task force studied statistics and projections for working parents with school-age children in Richfield, visited existing programs (find they have a long waiting list), and attended a joint meeting of the Richfield City Council and School Board. At that meeting the continuing need for more child care in this city was cited. In addition to this research, they have contacted the principal of Centennial School, raised the necessary financing through our church budget, and have the full approval of the Session of Hope Church. Because we did not realize the need for a permit from the City of Richfield, we prematurely announced our intention to begin the program in the religious news section of the Richfield Sun. We assumed that because Portland School already housed a children's program, we had the necessary compliance. To correct this misconception, we are explaining to all interested persons that we were premature and are awaiting the approval of the necessary permits. It is our intent to begin this latchkey program (Hope For Kids) in the fall of 1988. It is our desire that a Conditional Use permit be granted to allow Hope Church to support the families of our community by providing before and after school child care. S'ncerely, James C.

The City Council referred the matter back to the Planning Commission for further review and comment since the applicant provided new and different information to the council which had not been submitted to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission had previously recommended denial of the request. A copy of the minutes of the April 11, 1988 City Council meeting is attached. On June 28, 1988 the Planning Commission was presented with the second submittal from the applicant. The Planning Commission unanimously denied the conditional use permit because the applicant did not comply with the requirements, in particular, the applicant did not intend to provide the on site drainage as required by the City Engineer, or widen the curb cuts to meet City requirements of 26 feet. For a chronology of events see Attachment A. A conditional use permit was applied for on February 29, 1988; however, petitioner is currently operating without the necessary permit. Attached are copies of correspondence regarding the subject site. The applicant responded to the City Council's concern by letter dated June 3, 1988 from Mrs. Joanne Jankowski, attorney for the applicant. Ordinance Requirement: 1. Section 520.19, indicates the regulations for public garages. 2. Section 800, indicates the requirements for offstreet parking areas. 3. Section 545.09, outlines the requirements for the granting of a conditional use permit. Recommendation: Deny the conditional use permit for rent-a-car business (Ugly Duckling Rent-A-Car) at 6405 Cedar Avenue. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The Planning Commission at their regular meeting on June 28, 1988 unanimously recommended denial of the conditional use permit. 2. The curb cut would not be in conformance with the required curb cut width of 26 feet. 3. The prior parking analysis indicated a shortage,of at least five parking spaces for the two site occupants. 4. The applicant does not intend to provide the required on site drainage as requested by the City Engineer. Alternative Recommendation: Approve the requested conditional use permit for rent-a-car business (Ugly Duckling Rent-A-Car) at 6405 Cedar Avenue as submitted with the following stipulations: 1. The building and fire code be meta 2. The offstreet parking area be improved according to the City ordinances. 3. The drainage plan be submitted for approval by the City Engineer. 4. The offstreet parking area be. landscaped and screened sufficiently. A detailed landscape plan with names of species, types and locations be submitted for staff approval. 5. The signs meet City sign regulations. 6. The repairable (poor condition) cars may not be stored on the site for more than 48 hours. 7. All of the stipulations be met prior to the occupancy permit. Discussion/Decision Mode: A public hearing is scheduled at 7:00 P.M. Monday, July 25, 1988. Appropriate notices were mailed to property owners within 350 feet. Legal notice was also published. sC bmitted, James D. Pr ser City Manager JDP:sae 0 Addendum to the Basis of Recommendation: Mr. Jankowski previously operated his rental car business with a conditional use permit, at 6333 Cedar Avenue South. The property is located in a General Industrial I district which allows, under a conditional use permit, an auto rental business. The existing structure meets all the setback requirements except the rear yard setback which is 14 feet. 1. The parking space distribution for the site is as follows: Required Need Max. Available a. Existing Retail Use Color Time (2,566 sq. ft.) 13 3 3 b. Rent-A-Car Office Use 1 1 1 Storage Use (224 sq. ft.) 30 30 25 Total 44 34 29 The analysis is based on the applicants assertion that the operation maintains a fleet of 30 cars. The letter from the attorney dated June 3, 1988, indicates that there would be a need for only 18 parking spaces at any given time. 2. The site plan indicates that the existing three curb cuts including the one from the abutting property to the south are only 24 feet wide. The required minimum curb cut width in an industrial district is 26 feet. The applicant does not propose to bring the curb cut width into conformance with the City requirement. 3. The City ordinance requires that the offstreet parking areas be striped and have adequate site drainage. The front parking area has been striped recently. There is no evidence that the property owner contacted the City at the time the front parking area was blacktopped. It is staff's opinion that the parking area was not improved according to City ordinance requirements. No drainage plan has been submitted. The applicant does not intend to do any other improvements in the parking area. 4. Sufficient screening and buffering has not been provided on the site. The applicant does not propose to do any substantial improvements on the site to soften the appearance of the parking area. The outside storage of the cars in the parking area without adequate screening is very unsightly and is not consistent with the city ordinance requirements for parking areas. The applicant has proposed a wooden fence at the southeast quadrant of the site. It is staff's opinion that the outside storage of cars would require additional landscaping on 64th Street around the parking area in order to make the site aesthetically pleasing. 5. The Comprehensive Development 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 Development Plan. 0 9 E • ATTACHMENT A Chronology: In December of 1987, staff learned that the Ugly Duckling Rent-A- Car business had been moved and was being operated at 6405 Cedar Avenue without the required conditional use permit. The chronology of events are listed as follows: Date Action 12/29/87 City staff issued noncompliance procedure. 1/22/88 Mr. Jankowski was given five days to initiate compliance action. 2/5/88 A five day notice to discontinue operations was sent. 3/25/88 The Planning Commission considered the conditional use permit request and recommended denial. 4/11/88 The City Council considered the conditional use permit request and referred the matter back to the Planning Commission. 6/28/88 The Planning Commission again recommended denial of the request since the applicant did not intend to provide the required on site drainage or widen the curb cut to meet the City requirements of 26 feet. 0 i, Y Y i S T V P 7? : _ - i Y S R rtrsts •vt f.+r?•?.???•.w?+• .?r?.i• ?+?.+.5?' ?.•.?_.- .......???„ strut Mt rT ?1?Saasss?s ^_ _ _-_ _ _i)'tj vuttrT "act refer IGNORE.

KOVACS June 3, 1988 Towhid Kazi Community Development City of Richfield 6700 Portland Avenue Richfield, Mil 55423 Dear Mr. Kazi: Department South RE: Ugly Duckling Rent-a-Car Enclosed please find a proposed drawing for 6405 Cedar Avenue South in conjunction with the application of Ugly Duckling Rent-a-Car for a special use permit at 6405 Cedar Avenue South. The previous information submitted to you regarding the application was evidently taken to mean that the owner of the property is is the applicant. That is incorrect. The owner of the property is Harold 0. Toupin, who is the principle of Color Specialties, Inc., a business which has occupied the premises for many years. The difficulties which have occurred in the past several months are regretable, and it is hoped that there will be a way to work out the problems which exist. In order to have a thorough understanding of the events which have led up to the present situation, I will try to outline the develop- ment of the problems and attempt to address each issue which has been raised in the information provided to me. Ugly Duckling has operated in Richfield for a number of years. Before last fall the business was located at 6333 Cedar Avenue, a block north of the subject property. At that location there were many fewer parking places, only one exit from the parking lot, and much maintenance was done at the location. There were often vehicles stored on the lot which did not run. My inquiries have brought no reports of complaints while the business was located there, inspite of the repair garage which was part of the operation at that time. Upon moving to the subject property, Ugly Duckling removed many of the older vehicles from its fleet, and suspended its operation of a repair garage. Since the move to the present location, the . local businesses have been engaged to provide necessary repairs for the rental cars. z Towhid Kazi Page 2 June 3, 1988 In addition, because many of the customers of the business are local people, cars are rented without the requirement of a national credit card. This rental business is one of a very few which does not require a credit card to rent a car. Customers from out of town are referred daily to restaurants and hotels nearby. The subject property is probably the best-looking property on the east side of Cedar north of 66th St. East. It has a rough-sawn cedar front, and has vegetation screening the parking area in the front which is several feet high. This hedge has been in place for several years and has been well-maintained. The parking surface is blacktop, which unlike many of the gravel lots in the neighborhood is in very good condition. The appearance of the building is neat and well-kept. The issues which have been raised in the previous meetings and in my discussions with the parties involved are as follows: 1. Offstreet parking. Paving and striping. In previous memoranda, there was an indication that the parking surface is gravel. This was incorrect. The lot has been paved for some time, and is in very good condition. The front lot has been striped to accommodate 14 cars. While there is room for more, there has been no need to park more cars in the area because there are rarely more than a few cars which are not rented. Ugly Duckling estimates that the maximum number of cars it would ever need to park at one time would be 15. Cars are not parked on the street. A copy of the March 30 letter from Harold Turpin stating his need for parking spaces at not more than 3 is attached. While the proposed plan for the lot shows 30 parking spaces, there is an anticipated need for not more than 18 at any one time. 2. Curb Cuts. The two curb cuts which are on the 64th St. East side of the property are 24 feet. These curbs are in very good condition. To re-do them would be prohibitively expensive for this small business. New curbs put in last fall across the street are also 24 feet. While all driveways on the street were not measured, the applicant believes that there are no curb cuts in the immediate area which are 26 feet. The applicant therefore respectfully requests that the 26 foot curb cut requirement be waived. 3. Screening and buffering. The entire front o the two lots which make up the subject property is screened by a hedge several feet high. It is well-maintained, as is the grass which surrounds it. There is no screening on the small curb areas on 64th Street. Those areas are blacktopped, which is in good condition. The Towhid Kazi Page 3 June 3, 1988 owner of the building indicates that those areas were surfaced with blacktop as required by the city when the blacktop was installed. The applicant has offered to install further screening on the fence which surrounds part of the parking area. It was indicated to me that such screening would not be necessary, and was not being requested at this time. Since cars parked in the front of the building are screened from the view of properties to the west, and around the corner, it does not seem that much more could be done to improve that situation. No other suggest- ions have been made to me in my discussions on the matter. Re- garding the screening on the north side of the lot, the applicant feels that the present situation is neat and not at all unsightly, and therefore requests that no further screening be required. 4. Site Drainage. Currently, the site is drained by run off water going into the storm drain at the northwest corner of the site on the Cedar Avenue.side of the property. In discussions with Mr. Eastling, I have been unable to determine what additional requirements the city might make, except the indication that underground drains are required. To install underground drains would require the removal of approximately 50% of the blacktop, regrading of the area, so that effective drains could be installed. The cost of such an installation cannot be borne by this business. I have requested further information and alternative suggestions from the engineering department, and will submit any further information which may become available. The surface of the lots are in very good condition, and I have been unable to determine that any problem exists in the current drainage system. 5. Signs. Signs in violation of the city ordinance have been removed. No auto repair business is being conducted, so future signs will be installed with appropriate permits, and accurately describe the rental business. 6. Building and Fire Codes. The applicant is unaware of any violations of building or fire codes, and will take immediate steps to correct any violations which may develop. 7. Poor Condition Cars. The applicant has made it a practice to remove damaged cars as soon as possible. No damaged cars are ever stored in the front lot.

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.

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 would 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 c7erating condition. Thank you very much.

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. The existing scoreboards are 14 and 17 years old, constantly blow fuses and need timers replaced.. During high school games and tournaments, the lights have gone out and the scoreboards have failed to operate properly. The existing boards have fuses and mechanical parts. The new boards are solid state and have microprocessor control systems. Because of the seating arrangements, two scoreboards are needed. The two scoreboards must be able to operate independently and together. Therefore, two compatible scoreboards are needed. Three vendors submitted quotations. They are: Ve_ndo_r_ Quotation Scoreboards_ Insta_llation_ All American Scoreboards $ 7,216.00 No bid Aim Electronics, Inc. $ 8,343.00 $750 Earl F. Andersen & Assoc. Inc. $ 9,910.00 (1) No bid $ 91900.00 (2) No bid $13,920.00 (3) No bid Recommended Motion: Authorize purchase and installation of two scoreboards including shipping at the Ice Arena from the Aim Electronics, Inc. in the amount of $9,093.00. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Aim Electronics, Inc. was the only vendor who would also remove the existing scoreboards and install the new ones. Aim Electronics, Inc. would be responsible for the entire project and liable if the scoreboards did not work. 2. Aim Electronics, Inc. offers a five year warranty compared to the All American Scoreboards two year warranty. 3. The scoreboards from All American Scoreboards would need 500 feet of new cable and cost over $1,500 to install. 5! , / The cost for removing the old scoreboards and hanging the new scoreboards by Lawrence Sign, the company who hung the existing boards, is $100 per hour. Then an electrical contractor would be needed to run the cable and do the electrical work. Therefore, by purchasing the scoreboards from All American Scoreboards, the cost including installation charges would nearly approach or exceed the Aim Electronics, Inc. quotation. Furthermore, three separate parties would be involved in the project should the purchase be made from All American Scoreboards, which may lead to problems if something did not work properly. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Do not purchase the scoreboards at this time. 2. Despite the unknown costs for cable, installation and electrical work, purchase the scoreboards from All American Scoreboards. Discu_ssion_/Decision Mode: This item has been scheduled for the July 25, 1988 City Council agenda. It would be advantageous to have the scoreboards installed during shutdown and operable during the Arena's busy season which is approaching. It is recommended action be taken at that time. • Respectfully bm'tted, (DP Jam s D P ser City Manager JDP:sae • • • • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 174 Agenda, July 25, 1988 Issue Statement: Proclamation supporting "National Night Out" in Richfield. Background: The Richfield Public Safety Division is supporting the "National Night Out" for the fifth year. "National Night Out" provides an opportunity for Richfield neighborhoods to join together with thousands of other communities across the country in support of safer neighborhoods and to demonstrate the success of cooperative crime prevention efforts. This purpose of the project is to encourage neighborhoods to make a statement declaring that they are taking back control of their "neighborhoods." In cooperation with the Public Safety Department, approximately 15 neighborhood watch groups are planning block parties that evening. Recommended Motion: Support the "National Night Out" project by proclaiming August 9, 1988 as a "National Night Out" in Richfield. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The organized Neighborhood "Block Watch" groups are planning block parties in their respective Neighborhood Watch area on August 9, 1988. 2. The City Council and other public officials have shown support for these citizen efforts by joining and meeting with the participants during the evening for the past five years. Alternative Recommendation: Another alternative to this idea could be an organized expression of support at one central location such as the Richfield Community Center. Discussion/Decision Mode: This item has been placed on the July 25, 1988 City Council meeting agenda. Respectfully su 'tted, qae D.
