Subsequently, the Minnesota State Legislature amended the provisions of state law which permit such deferment of special assessments to provide that persons who have retired due to permanent disability may also quality for deferment of special assessments, where it would be a hardship to make payments of such special assessments. The previous provisions for determining hardship and applying for such a deferment have simply been extended to include persons who have retired due to permanent disability. The city recently received an inquiry from a citizen who re- quested that the council consider extending the provisions of Resolution No. 6416 to permanently disabled persons, as provided for in the amended state law. If the city council w~_shes to con- sider such an amendment to Resolution No. 6416, it is recommended that the city council pass a new resolution identica]_ `o the attached resolution except as follows: Paragraph 1 - (to read as follows) It is the policy of the city to consider requests for the deferment of special assessments upon homestead properties owned by persons 65 years of age or older or_ by persons retired by virtue of a perm- anent total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make payments of such special assessments. Permanent and total disability for the purpose of this section means a condition which is permanent by nature and totally incapac- itates the person from working at an occupation which brines him an income. In the adoption of such policy and the pro- cedures established by this resolution the city is acting pursuant to authority granted by Minnesota Statutes, S~>ctions 435.193 to 435.195. • Council Letter No. 354 -2- October 12, 1981 Paragraph 6, Item 6 (to read as follows) That such owner- occupant is over 65 years of age or permanently and totally disabled; A copy of the proposed resolution is attached to this council letter and has been placed on the October 12, 1981 city council agenda for council consideration.

Mr. NIcI<asy is proposing to open an automotive electronic speciality sales and installation shop, which will include the sale of radios, tape players and other related equipment at that site. Council Members: Subject: Request for Off-Street Parking Permit, 2200 I~Jest 66th Street This use will require a total of 7 off-street parking spaces. The applicant is proposing 5 spaces, one of which is partially on public right-of-way (along Oliver Avenue). The property is extremely constrained in terms of available space for parking purposes. The existing building occupies 630 of the lot, thus eliminating reasonable alternatives to provide the required number of off-street par}sing spaces. The applicant is not proposing any expansion of the existing building now on the property. He is proposing, however, major remodeling of the exterior and interior of the structure. The proposal also indicates three enclosed service bays, for the in- stallation of the merchandise. Hence, a total of 8 vehicles can be parked on the property. The off-street parking guidelines do not include the enclosed service bays as meeting the require- ments; therefore, the proposal is 2 spaces short of the required 7 off-street parking spaces. The applicant's plans do not indicate permanent curbing on the south side of the par]cinc~ area. Summary The staff believes that, because of existing conditions, it will be difficult to reasonably meet the required number of off- street parking spaces for the proposed use, and for nearly any other type of use. The staff also believes that the remodeling will significantly improve the aesthetics of the property, since the structure is presently severely deteriorated. The applicant should enter into a hold harmless agreement with the city in order to rele,zse the city fro,: liability in tease the applicant's Council Letter No. 352 -2- October 12, 1931 improvements on the public right-of-way are damaged or need to be removed for subsequent city use of the right-of-way. Staff Recommendation Although the applicant's proposal does not meet all of the off- street parking requirements, the staff believes that the proposed improvements for the structure are a good compromise, would enhance the appearance of the property, and would positively impact surround- ing properties. Therefore, the staff recommends approval of this off-street parking layout with the following stipulations: 1. That the applicant improve/remodel the existing structure as indicated in the submitted plans; 2. That the applicant install permanent curbing as per the off-street parking guidelines; 3. That the applicant enter into a "hold harmless" agreement with the city to allow improvements on the public right- of-way; 4. That no outside storage of vehicles to be serviced be permitted on the property during business hours, to max- imize parking available for customers and employees.

Donald J. Priebe Mayor ATTEST: Sylvia K. Bergh, Acting City Clerk • ..ry CITY OF P.ICHFIELD , ~~IINNFSOTA Office of City Manager • Council Letter No. 351 Agenda October 12, 1981 The Honorable I`Iayor and 1`iembers of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members Subject: Disposition. of Property at 6244 16th Avenue and 6413 22nd Avenue, and Relocation of a Structure to 6413 22nd Avenue The Richfield I-IRA is proposing to relocate the house at 6244 16th Avenue to the vacant lot at 6413 22nd Avenue. This house moving and subsequent rehabilitation work is to be a cooperative effort between the HRA and the suburban Hennepin County Area Vo- cational Technical Schools (Vo-Tech). Presently, the house has two bedrooms and one bathroom in a one and one-half story struc- ture. The finished rehabilitated structure will include a 12` x • 23' addition, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. In order for the relocation of this dwelling to occur, the council must de- cide whether the structure, once relocated and rehabilitated, will be similar in character to adjacent residences at 6413 22nd Avenue. In addition, it is recommended that the city council transfer ownership of the city-owned house at 6214 16th Avenue and the city-owned vacant lot at 6413 22nd Avenue to the HRA. To assist the city council in its evaluation, site elevations and a survey showing the location of the finished 'Home on the lot are attached. Photographs of the site and of adjacent houses will be available at the council meeting. A petition with sig- natures of adjacent residents will also be available. In addi- tion, an advertisement was placed in the Richfield Sun Newspaper indicating that public hearing testimony on the issue of structure compatibility would be received at the October 12, 1981 city council meeting. The adjoining property owners have been notified by mail that this item is scheduled for council consideration on October 12, 1981. The city council approved acquisition oL the property at G244 16th Avenue in April, 197, at a purchase price of $38,000. The purchase was negotiated when the city became aware of ~>torm water runoff problems experienced on the property which lies directly adjacent to Taft Park. Since purchase, the rental of the property has been managed by the IIP.A. The vacant lot at 6413 22nd Avenue i~> the last developable lot Council Letter No. 351 -2- October 12, 1981 in the New Ford Town area that the city acquired from the Metro- politan Airport Commission. The lot was originally authorized for sale through the New home Programs, but problems in finan- cing eliminated the original bidder in late 1980. Relocating the structure to the lot at 6413 22nd Avenue will eliminate structural flooding hazards, create a more definite property line to Taft Park, and permit possible expansion of the park in the future. • The Vo-Tech has contracted with the HRA over the past four years in the substantial rehabilitation of three single family homes, located at 7238 Wentworth (a 1977 project), 7444 Bryant Avenue (1979), and most recently, 6500 Standish, completed in July, 1981. Since expressing interest in initiating another project, the Vo-Tech has evaluated the house and proposed lot and believes that the house can be rehabilitated and enlarged for approximately $46,500. The rehabilitation will provide a new basement, a i2' x 23' addition, two additional bedrooms, new roof, windows, kitchen, bathrooms, wiring, plumbing and heating system, and insulation. The house will be sold to a moderate income family that qualifies under the FHA Section 235 program. Other financing mechanisms will be considered if the 235 Program is discontinued by the present federal administration. The max- imum selling price for the four bedroom home is expected to be $52,800. After meeting HRA program expenses, any remaining balance could be given to the city to offset the original cost of purchasing the house and the vacant lot. A balance of about $2,000 is projected. The HRA will be reviewing the Vo-Tech contract on October 19, 1981. If tl~ house and property transfer and the house moving is approved by the council, the contract with Vo-Tech can be executed. The house will be relocated in early November and the exposed foundation at the 6244 16th Avenue location will be covered. The house rehabilitation should be completed by the summer of 1982. The house moving is suggested at this time because Vo-Tech is ready to start another project for_ their new school year. The lease for the tenants at 6244 16th Avenue expired September 1, 1981, so the house is now vacant. If the house is sold using the Section 235 program with Section S income limits, the city will receive credit from the Metropolitan Council for providing additional family housing. It is recommended that the city council approve the resolution, authorizing transfer of the house at 6244 and the land at 6413 22nd Avenue to tlic IIRA to be used family housing purposes.

The delay is due, in part, to the need to determine if the city .c an, in fact, vacate a small "park" at the northwest corner of 74th Street and Upton Avenue. The applicant has been in contact with the city attorney's office and Chicago Title Insurance Company in an effort to clarify this matter. Mr. Eric Lindholm, the applicant, is again requesting a con- tinuation of the council's review of this request to Decezc~ber 14, 1981. The staff concurs and recommends that the council defer this item to December 14, 1981. However, it is also recommended that the deferral to December 14, 1981 be the last continuation of this item, and that the applicant be advised that any delay beyond that time will necessitate beginning the process all over again with planning commission review.

The "Employee of the Quarter" award gives recognition to city employees who make significant contributions to the overall city organization. Vi Hoff was selected this quarter for her con- • sideration of the Cer~trai Services Division employees and user divisions when she volunteered to give up her regular work schedule and adjust her personal schedule in order to work hours between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. tdhen new applications are being written and tested and when data entry becomes overloaded, it becomes necessary to find more Data IV time, thus requiring batch time and report processinq to be done at other times. Vi cheerfully vol- unteered to change her hours to enable the departments and divisions to continue receiving their reports and to make the terminals avail- able during regular working hours. This she did for 11 weeks. This adjustment in scheduling also resulted in a monetary savings, as overtime was not required. Vi Hoff will be present at the October 12, 1981 city council meeting to receive this award. Cc~w S ~ s-~ t~.~r~~! ~ ~`~~L Ate- p Respectfully submitted , ~- C N u:~`2.F/V 1. ~'^ P W V.

There are five such items on the city council agenca of October 12, 1981. Golf Course Chemicals For winter protection of the golf course, primarily the greens, • several chemical products are needed. These chemicals are to be applied before December 1, 1981. Three quotations for the needed chemicals were received: Landscape and Turf Supply $1,712.89; R. L. Gould and Company - $1,683.00; and Turf Supply Company - $1,535.45. It is recomillended that the city council approve the purchase of these chemicals from Turf Supply Company in the amount of $1,535.45. Irrigation Well Repair An emergency arose at the golf course in late September when the irrigation well broke down. When this happened, the original sub-contractor on the project came to the site, pulled the pump with the broken pins and bolts and sent the equipment to Electric Motor Repair. The cost of this repair work was $1,265. It is recommended that the city council approve the payment of this repair wor]c to Electric Motor Repair in the amount of $1,265. Water Dieters To maintain an inventory for routine replacement of water meters that are damaged or not wor}:fine{ for some reason, aizd for in- stallation of new service, it is recommended that 200 water meters be purchased. Three quotations for =.aater meters ~•~ere received: William Sales - $58.61 per unit; Power Prc~-ess },quipment, Inc. - $ 54.00 per unit ; and Davies [~~?a ker ~'qu ip:.lent Cc:~a~~anv - S 4 5 . 5 0 per unit (less tail pieces). Council Letter No. 348 -2- October 12, 1981 It is recommended that the city council approve the purchase of 200 5/8 x 3/4 Trident 10 Remote Style water meters from Davies Water Equipment Company for a total purchase price of $9,100. Funds are available in the 1981 budget document for this purchase. Fire Truc}c Repair It was necessary to repair and/or replace the gears, rings, four wheel drive and pinions in the city fire truck. The cost of this repair work was $3,351.41 for parts and $382.14 for labor. It is recommended that the city council approve payment to DZacQueen Equipment for this repair work in the amount of $3,733.50. Change Order-CP 7053 Due to an oversight by the engineering firm, the construction plans and specifications for CP 7053 (66th Street-Grand Avenue to I356V) provide for a unit price payment only for the 12 lighting units, and not for the bases for these units. In that bases are also needed, the staff recommends that the city council approve the addition of a new contract item of 12 light bases at the negotiated unit price of $501.78 each. It is recommended that the city council approve this addition in the total amount of $6,022.44 to the original contract with Hennepin County.

V~ ~~ • CITY OF RICHFIELD, ~IIN?`IESOTA Office of C ity PZanager The Honorable P•layor and ~ier.~bers of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Council Letter No. 347 Agenda October 12, ?981 Deferred October 26, 1981 Subject: Airport Planning Issues Earlier this year, the council reviewed a izumber of concerns which the sta==f had identified concerning the joint metropolitan Council/Metropolitan Airports Commission (P~1C/MAC) Committee final report on airport planning issues. At that time, the city council passed a resolution outlining Richfield's concerns regarding the report. A copy of that resolution is attached for your informa- tion. Since then, the staff has been working with other communities and agencies to develop alternatives which better meet Richfield's concerns. The following is a description of recommended amendments to the I~IC/TIAC Committee Final Report on Planning Issues which have been suggested by a concensus of the working group of municipalities and agencies: 1. Land Use Guidelines The working group agrees with the TIC/i~1AC Committee that the Noisenrap Policy contours represent the most current informa- tion about potential noise exposure at rTinneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. Land use compatibility guidelines should correspond to these policy contours. The MC/MAC Committee Final Report should be amended to describe a process for implementing land use compatibility guidelines. This process should: -separate land use planning for noise compatibility and land use planning from airport safety zones; -distinguish between developing and fully developed areas; -place responsibility for zoning ordizlances and building codes which implement land use compatibility guidelines with the local governments; -provide an interim method for discovering and preventinq potentially incompatible development around metropolitan system airports. Council Letter No. 347 -2- October 12, 1981 To achieve these objectives, the group suggests that land use compatibility guidelines contain performance standards for new or substantially reconstructed structures, and that a procedure be established which provides for area-wide variances for existing uses in noise impacted areas. The attached Appendix One describes fir. detail the working group's proposal for performance standards and variances. The group is recommending that the Metropolitan Council adopt Appendix One as a guideline for land use surrounding metropolitan airports. 2. Source Noise Reduction The most effective place to abate noise is at its source. It is recommended that the Metropolitan Council consider policies which require a firm commitment from the airport operator and all involved federal and state agencies to re- duce noise at its source. 3. Noise Impact Amelioration The MC/T1AC Committee Final Report does not address tine need to protect people in existing homes, businesses and institu- tions around metropolitan system airports from excessive aircraft noise. Two general classes of action can reduce • airport noise impacts: -Aircraft operational procedures provide for noise source reduction and distribution of aircraft operations to mini- mize the number of people impacted. The P~Zetropolitan Air- ports Commission should adopt an operations plan by December 1931 and the Metropolitan Council should consider policies which insure that the operations plan is monitored and periodically reviewed; -Ground noise attenuation programs reduce noise at the re- ceiver by insulating noise-sensitive uses and developing policies on relocation of severely impacted noise-sensitive uses. retropolitan Council policies should recommend that the Metropolitan Airports Commission and affected communities jointly develop ground noise attenuation programs. 4. Costs to Local Government The l-'IC/MAC Committee Final Report to local government for planning, and litigation in connection with bility around metropolitan system to expect communities to bear the patibility planning and the costs without compensation from the air fails to address the costs regulation, implementation achieving land use compati- airports. It is unreasonable full cost of land use com- of implementing these plans port operator and the wider community served by metropolitan system airports. Council Letter I\TO. 347 -3- October 12, 1981 The Metropolitan Council should recommend that the Metro- politan Airports Commission participate in funding for noise compatibility planning, regulation, ground noise attenuation and litigation. 5. Representation on Advisory Commissions Only four communities are represented on the Aviation Sub- committee of the Metropolitan Council Technical Advisory Committee. The I~ietropolitan Council should take the necess- ary steps to insure that the concerns of all affected municipal- ities are heard and given proper consideration on all airport related planning issues. As is shown on the attached map, two-thirds of Richfield is not in compliance with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (I`1PCA) noise regulations. The guidelines outlined above are based on b4PCA noise regulations and would allow the city to apply for a variance to the AZPCA standards for the city as a whole. As part of the variance process, the city would have to develop and implement a plan for reducing the noise impact on citizens within areas affected by noise. This plan could include the following strategies: 1. Insulation of noise sensitive land uses such as schools; 2. Insulation of homes in high noise impact areas; 3. Adoption of building noise attenuation standards for new construction, additions, or substantial rehabilitation; • 4. Disclosure of the degree of noise exposure to prospective home buyers; 5. Development of policies on the location, relocation, and closing of public structures in aircraft noise impact areas; 6. Rezoning property; 7. Redevelopment of appropriate areas. The city's comprehensive plan would then have to be amended to in- clude this noise impact reduction plan. The Transportation Subcommittee of the Metropolitan Council will be considering the MC/MAC Final Report on Airport Planning Issues and the recommended amendments in October. Following their action, the full I`Ietropolitan Council will consider the reports and decide whether to amend the Aviation Chapter of the l~letropolitan Develop- ment Guide. Subsequent to this action, communities will have to amend their comprehensive plans, if necessary, to be in conformance with the Metropolitan Development Guide. It is the opinion of the staff that the revisions to the MC/ MAC Committee "Final Report on Airport Planning Issues" proposed by the working group adequately address the concerns expressed by :ich- field in the previous resolution. It is recommended that the city council indicate their support for the revisions by passing the • Council Letter No. 347 -4- October 12, 191 • attached resolution. This resolution will then be presented to the Transportation Subcommittee when they consider the revisions.

ATTEST ti. ~ C--' Syl pia 1;. f3c.r~h, City Clerk • APPENDIX ONE APPENDIX: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT AND VARIANCES FOR EXISTING USES SURROUNDING METROPOLITAN SYSTEM AIRPORTS The goal of the land use guidelines described in this appendix is to achieve acceptable aircraft noise exposures for people living, work- ing and visiting in noise impacted areas without unnecessarily restrict- ing the economic use or reuse of land. Performance-Oriented Guidelines .for New Development A list of prohibited and permitted land uses is an approach to making uses around airports compatible with noise exposures. However, if experience with other environmental regulatory systems is any guide, there are advantages in moving away from specification standards toward performance standards. Tables 1 and 2 describe a system of advisory land use guidelines which is similar in concept to Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations (NPC-1 and 2). The guidelines recognize that different strategies must be applied in developing and fully developed areas. Table 1 describes conditions under which new construction will be permitted in the four noise exposure zones described by the Noisemap policy contours for metro- . politan system airports. Table 2 presents standards for existing uses, change of use of an existing structure, infill development, building additions and reconstruction. The tables indicate: PERMITTED - uses which are acceptable in all cases; EXCEPTION - uses acceptable if they meet the performance standards described in table 3; VARIANCE - uses acceptable if they are consistent with a community's area-wide variance or a site-specific variance approved by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency; NO - uses in these noise exposure zones probably will not be acceptable under any circumstances. • • TABLE L• LAND USE GUIDE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION SLUCM Land Use Cate or Grou s Code RESIDENTIAL 10 Single Units 11,11-13 Two Units 11,21-22 Apartments 11,31-32 Group Quarters 12 Residential Hotels 13 Mobile Hone Parks ~ 14 Other Residential ~ I9 MANUFACTURING . .0 and 30 TRANSPORTATION, C0`L~IIJ:II- 40 CATION and UTILITIES Passenger Facilities. included in NAC-2 Facilities iaclc:ded 9' in NAC-3 TRADE 50 SERVICES 60 Transient Lodging..:.. ,15 Finance, Insurance ' 61 and Peal Estate ~ Personal Services : j 62 Business Services : ~ 63 Repair Services 64 Medical and Health ` ~ 651 Services ~ Legal Services ~ 652 Other Professional ' 659 Services, NEC ' Contract Construction ~ 66 Services ~ Governmental Services ~ 67 Correctional Institutionsi 674 Educational Services ~ 68 .Miscellaneous Services b9 Religious Activities b91 CULTURAL, E.*ITERTAINMENT ~ 70 and RECREATTONAL ; i C:sltura'_ activities a^.d i I 71 Nature Exhibitions ' 1 Public Assembly 72 Entertainment Assembly ~ ( 721 Race Tracks : 7223 Amusements ; ~ 73 Fairgrounds and i ~ 731' Amusement Parks , Recreational Activities , ~ 74 Camping and Picnicking ~ 7491 Areas Besarts and Croup Camps 75 Parks 76 Other Cultural, Enter- 19 tainment and Recreational RESOURCE PRODUCTION I 80 and E.YTRACTICN i UNDEL'ELOPED LLW and 90 WATER AREAS L o r Equ 65-70 dBA Variance Variance '.Exception Exception '..Exception.

Performance standards should be administered by communities. The performance standards described ir. tab le 3 specify maximum interior sound levels due to intrusive sound by land use type. An architect or building inspector may estimate the composite sound attenuation required in a building oy subtracting the interior L10 performance standard from the exterior noise exposure on the site as predicted by the NOISEi~L~P contours. Table 3: Performance Standards for Exceptions Uses may be allowed by exception in certain aircraft noise impact zones shown ir. Tables 1 and Z if all of the following conditions are met: 1. Structures constructed after (date) shall be acoustically constructed so as to achieve the interior sound levels described below; 2. The structure possesses and uses year-around climate control; 3. Residential buildings (SLUCM codes 11, 12, 13, 14 and 19) do not have facilities intended fer outdoor activities including swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses, patios, balconies or yards.

The additional costs of structures which comply with these standards may be easily justified by the health and welfare 'oenefits to building occupants. Factors which make a structure "sound efficient" usually serve to make it energy efficient. As a result, noise insulation costs are often paid back by energy savings. Retrofitting existing structures for sound attenuation is more complex than insulating new structures. Performance standards for retrofitting should be a part of each community's application to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for an area-wide variance for existing development. VARIANCES Any community near a metropolitan system airport may choose to apply to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for an area-wide variance covering existing uses in areas where a violation of Noise Pollution Control Section Two already exists. The purpose of an area-wide variance is to describe to the Agency the strategies a community intends to follow for reducing or preventing incompatible uses and for mitigating the impact of noise exposures that would occur under the variance. Once an area-wide variance is granted by the ~iPCA, it wculd become part of a community's amended land use plan which would be submitted to-'the Metropolitan • Council to demonstrate compliance with the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide. Each community would be responsible for administering Land use,. zoning and building code controls according to policies described in its variance. In preparing a variance application, each community should consider the following strategies where appropriate to reduce cr prevent ircor:patible uses and/or to mitigate the impact of excess noise exposures that would occur under the variance: 1) Insulate noise sensitive land uses. 2) Insulate homes in high noise impact areas. 3) Adopt building noise attenuation standards for new construction, additions or substantial rehabilitation. 4) Disclose degree of noise exposure to prospective dome buyers. 5) Develop policies on the location, relocation and closing of public structures in aircraft noise impact areas. 6) Develop policies on the extension of utilities into aircraft noise impact areas. 7) Zone or rezone property. 8) Redevelop appropriate areas. . Each community should consider the advisability of bringing the Metropolitan Airports Commission into the variance process to aid in the implementation and financing of prevention and mitigation strategies. In reviewing any com:runity's application for an area-wide variance, the fiiPCA will use the following standards (stated here as questions): 1). Does compliance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency standards result in any undue hardship? 2) Would compliance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency standards be unreasonable, impractical or not feasible? 3) Would granting the variance be consistent with the spirit of the land use guidelines? 4) What are the relative economic and environmental consequences of compliance versus the variance being sought? (In weighing environmental values against economic and technical considerations, state law requires the rSPCA to give at least equal consideration to environmental values). 5) Is there a reasonable and prudent alternative to the variance. which would ca:ise less pollution or less harm to the environment? Or, to put it another way, does the variance proposal contain measures to mitigate the impact on people • of the excess noise exposures that would occur under the variance? i ... ,,.

A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR CHANGES IN THE AIRCRAFT NOISE/LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLANNING GUIDELINES RECOMMENDED BY A JOINT COMMITTEE OF THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AND THE METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION (MC/MAC) WHEREAS, the D~etropolitan Council's Transportation Subcommittee met on March 17, 1981, to consider the MC/MAC committee report entitled "Final Report on Airport Planning Issues February, 1981."; and WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council's Transportation Subcommittee tabled consideration of the MC/MAC report and requested representa- tives of effected communities and agencies to meet and resolve ques- tions about the report; and WHEREAS, the effected communities and agencies met as a working group to resolve these questions and have developed a proposal for achieving land use compatibility in areas adjacent to metropolitan system airports; and WHEREAS, the City of Richfield has reviewed the working group's proposal and finds it consistent with the policies of Richfield. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the city council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota as follows: 1. The city supports the findings of the working groups report which: a. Clearly distinguishes between the responsibilities of communities with large tracts of undeveloped land and the responsibilities of developed communities in responding to land use standards; b. Incorporates performance standards allowing communities and administer individual controls for land use, design and construction in noise-impacted areas; c. Clearly defines the roles of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Metropolitan Council and Metropoli- tan Airports Commission in land use control, aircraft noise abatement and ground noise attenuation. 2. That the city requests that the Metropolitan Council conduct public hearings on the proposed land use guidelines when they are incorporated in the Airport's section of the Metro- politan Development Guide. Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield this day of 1981. Donald J. Priebe, Mayor ATTEST: Sylvia K. Bergh, City Clerk CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager • The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: `" Council Letter No. 346 Agenda October 12, 1981 Subject: Request for Variance, 1920 West 76th Street Joe Krzyzaniak has submitted a request for a variance to reduce the required three-foot fence setback from the public right-of-way to zero feet. The variance will allow the con- struction of a wood fence 2.5 feet in height on the property located at 1920 West 76th Street. The fence posts will be three feet in height, and will support two wood rails, one at 15 inches and the other at 30 inches. The applicant is pro- posing to locate the south portion (along 76th Street) of the fence on the property line and the west portion (along Morgan Avenue) seven feet beyond his property line, on the public right-of-way. ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS Section 3.39, subdivision 2 of the zoning ordinance lists yard requirements, including fence setbacks from public right- of-ways. Section 3.40, subdivision 6, lists three conditions which must be met before granting variances. STAFF REVIEW The staff has reviewed this request against the three con- ditions for granting variances and found the following: 1. That there are no special conditions affecting this particular property. This is a typically-sized lot, and is not significantly different than any other lot in the city. 2. That denial of this application will not preclude reasonable use of the property. A fence can be constructed in accord- ance with the zoning ordinance, _-equiring no variance. 3. That the tt:ree-Foot setbac;c is intended t.o provide sufficient snow storage space adjacent to public sic.e- wallcs. In this instance, a sidewalk is present and the proposed location of th<, fence .~ou1d be 3.S feet from the sidewalk alonct 76th Street. The staff feels that this is adequate space "for sno~•~ :tor. age and ;should riot pose any other problems in terms of visibility, f~Jo Council Letter No. 34G -2- October 12, 1981 sidewalk exists, nor is one planned, along Morgan Avenue. Because a portion of the fence would be on the public right-of-way, the applicant should enter into a "hold harmless" agreement with the city, to ensure that the city cannot be held liable in case the fence is damaged or has to be moved due to maintenance or improvement on the public right-of-way. STAFF RECOI`:MENDATION Because the three conditions for granting variances have not been met, the planning division staff must recommend denial of this application. Should the council approve the variance, the staff recommends the following stipulation: Q 1. That the applicant enter into an agreement with the city to hold the city harmless from damage to the fence and for costs of removal or relocation if the right-of-way, is needed at a future date . -~ ~- - ~~ ~ ~ + ~ ; `~~" ,~~ :. - ~ v The city manager recommends in favor of the variances on both the south and west of the property. Neither variance is injurious to the city and both variances are beneficial to the property. Location. of the fence along Morgan Avenue at a distance of 12 feet from the curb (where the property line is located) would give the appearance of being situated well back from the yard rather than as a perimeter fence. There are other p~~o~~~~-~es for location of fences on city right-of-way in these situations subject to the signing of a hold harmless agreement. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOn'[MENDATION The Planning Commission recommends approval of this application, with the stipulation that the west portion of the fence, along Morgan Avenue, not be constructed on public right- of-way.

The requested variances would permit the construction of a 23-foot by 40-foot • addition to the existing building and a wood or a chain link fence with screening material. The proposed addition would architecturally match the existing building. ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS Section 3.30, subdivision 6, of the zoning ordinance lists lot area and yard requirements, including a 40-foot setback from streets. Section 3.40, subdivision 6, lists three conditions which must be met before a variance may be granted. STAFF REVIEW The staff has reviewed this request and found the following: 1. That the fence is proposed to be built on the property line along 74th Street and Cedar Avenue. A sidewalk exists along Cedar Avenue; therefore, a variance to the three- foot fence setback along public right-of-ways would also be required. This letter address that variance at this time also. 2. That the proposed fence an<:i ene off-street parking space violates the 50-foot visibility triangle on the corner of 74th Street and Cedar Avenue by five feet, thus a variance to that requirement will also be reviewed in this letter. Council Letter No. 345 -2- October 12, 1981 3. That the distance from the back of the curb on Cedar Avenue to the applicant's property line is 31 feet, and • the distance from the sidewalk to the property line is 19 feet. There is no sidewalk on 74th Street, and 74th is not a collector street; therefore the city manager can waive the three-foot setbac}c requirement for this portion of the fence. 4. That the proposal calls for landscaping the margins of the property and portions of the public right-of-way. The plan does not indiciate the type of vegetation to be used, and thus staff cannot determine if the landscaping will meet the requirements for planting within the 50-foot visibility triangle. 5. That 11 off-street parking spaces are proposed. The city's off-street parking guidelines require a minimum of seven spaces. 6. That the proposed wood or chain link fence with screening extending to the front property line should not pose any hazards if the 50-foot corner visibility triangle requirements are met. The fence would serve to screen activities on the site and serve a security function. A gate is proposed on the Cedar Avenue access also. STAFF FINDINGS The staff has reviewed the application against the three conditions for granting variances and found the following: 1. That there are no special conditions affecting this particular property. This is a typically-sized lot and is not significantly different than any other lot in the city. 2. That denial of this application will not preclude reasonable use of the property. Alternatives do exist for construction of the addition and the fence which require no variances. 3. That the proposal is a general improvement to the applicant's property. Conversely, portions of the fence and an off-street par}~:ing space violate the 50-foot visibility triangle and thus pose a potential hazard for motorists at the Cedar Avenue/74th Street corner. One off-street parking space can be eliminated and the fence relocated, to maintain the 50-foot visibility triangle. The staff beleives that the 13 feet between the side~,~alk and the proposed fence on Cedar Avenue is adequate for mair~,tenance and snow storage and should not pose any problems for the side- walk. The applicants indicate plantings on portions of the adjacent public right-of-way. The _~taff recommends that the applicantsenter into a hold harmless agreement with the city, in case the plantings are damaged or must .>e r~>itlovec~ c~~ie '~~ maintenance or improvements of the rigYit-of-way. Council Letter No. 345 -3- October 12, 1981 STAFF RECOT~II~IENDATION • Although the proposal is an improvement to the applicant's property, the staff recommends denial of this application because it does not meet all of the conditions necessary for grantir:g the following variances: 1. Reduction of the required 40-foot setback from E. 74th Street to 10.5 feet; 2. Reduction of the three-foot fence setback from public rights-of-way along arterial or co llector streets to zero feet; 3. Increase in the maximum allowable height of the fence extending between the front line o f the b uilding and the front property line from four feet to six feet; 4. Allow a portion of the fence to be within the 50-foot visibility triangle. Should the council approve these variances, the staff recom- mends the same stipulations as shown under the Planning Commission recommendation. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION • The Planning Commission recommends approval of the variances i ul tions: with the following st p a 1. That the fence material be of wood. 2. That there be no storage outside the fence. 3. That the 50-foot visibilitytriar_c~le be kept clear to ensure proper visibility at the corner of Cedar Avenue and East 74th Street. 4. That the applicant enter into a hold harmless agreement with the city prior to improving portions of the public right-of-way. Respectfully submitted, f. ~ ~, Karl Nollenberger City Manager.

Our company is called Green Scapes and we are a landscape contractor. Our intentions are to purchase this existing property and building, and to add an additional garage building. in the near future as it is essential for our business. Without it, we would not be interested in buying the property. Also, we need to enclose the property with a 6' chain link fence. This fence would have a screening material on it to block .the view from the outside neighborhood. Because we would have this screening does not imply that we will be stockpiling or storing alot of material or scrap inside the lot; it is merely to provide an attractive enclosure for the neigh}~orhood. Storage that we would have outside would be .timbers, some lumber, rock and dirt in bins. At the present time we have two dump trucks which will be parked on the property. The larger of the two can be put in the garage and the other is low enough that it will be screened by the fence. We intend to landscape the outside of the fence and some of this landscaping would be clone on city property.. LVe understand the city has the right to use the property to cahateveL~ means they need, therefore, if the time arises we will remove what is in the wa~- of their use at no exE~ense.

Second Reading. At the September 14, 1981 city council meeting, the city council gave first reading approval to an ordinance to vacate the alley on Block 2, Lyndale Shores on Wood Lake to facilitate -the proposed Richfield State Agency improvements. The council scheduled a public hearing and second reading consideration on • this alley vacation for October 12, 1981. It is recommended that the council conduct the public hearing on this matter and give second reading approval to the attached ordinance. The ordinance has been amended to vacate only a portion of the alley to maintain access to the property at 6636 Grand Avenue. This is necessary because access to the garage on this property is from the existing alley. The remaining portion of the alley can then be vacated at such time as Richfield State Agency purchases the property.

Berg:;, _~ ~.:~1.-:_ CITY OF RICHFTFLD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 342 Agenda October 12, 1981 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Request for Resubdivision and Variance 6512-14 Oliver Avenue Proposal Myron Gunderson has submitted an application for a resub- division of property located at 6512-14 Oliver Avenue. The proposed lot division would create two lots 29.8' in width and 133.29' in length, having an area of 3,972.7 square feet each. The existing dimension of the lot is 59.61' wide and 133.29' long. The resubdivision will not affect the 133.29' depth of the property. The property is zoned "A1R", multiple family residential. Background The city previously granted a variance for this property to permit reduction in the 10,000 square feet minimum lot area re- quired for properties located in T'iR districts. That variance allowed construction. of the duplex now existing on the site. The applicant now wants to subdivide the property in half, in order to sell one of the dwelling units. Zoning Ordinance Requirements Section 3.57, subdivision that the standard width of the subdivision 3, establishes the requirements for properties in subdivision 2, establishes sid unit. 1 of the zoning ordinance provides lot shall be 75 feet; Section 3.31 10,000 square feet minin;um lot area MR districts, and Section 3.31, yard setbacks of 5 feet for each Staff Review The staff has reviewed this request and found the following: 1. That although suk.~dividing the p.roper_ty would not change the use, i.c., multiple Lamily residential, the subdiv- __ __ _ Council Letter No. 342 -2- October 12, 1981 ision would have other implications. Should the sub- division be approved, and the duplex were subsequent- ly destroyed, it is quite possible that single family detached homes could be built on the properties. The lots would be substantially deficient in terms of lot width (29.8'), and lot area (3,972.7 square feet). The staff feels that this represents an undesirable condition and is contrary to city standards set forth in the comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance regulations. 2. The proposed subdivision would create a zero lot line sideyard setback along the shared property line. A variance to the sideyard setback requirement would thus be necessary. 3. That this request is unique, in that this is the first application which the staff is aware of receiving which seeks to subdivide a duplex. Staff Findings The staff has reviewed the application against the subdivision regulations and the three conditions for granting variances and found the followiizg; 1. That there are no special conditions affecting this property, this is a typically sized lot and is not significantly different than any other lot in the city with a duplex on it. 2. That denial of this application will not preclude reasonable use of the property. The property can still be used as a duplex, and there are alternatives to sell- ing portions of the property which would require no variances, such as selling the units as condominiums. 3. That the proposed subdivision would not change the ex- isting use of the property, i.e., multiple family-duplex. However, the proposal would have adverse impacts on surrounding properties by creating sub-standard lots. The city's legal counsel has suggested that, if the subdivision and variance are granted, a stipulation be added to the variance which would allow only an identi- cal structure on the site. This stipulation would effectively prohibit the construction of other types cf housing or other buildings and could prove to be detri- mental to the surrounding neighbors. Staff Recommendation The staff recommends denial of this application because it does not meet all three of the conditions necessary for granting variances. Ilowever, should the council approve this application1, Council Letter No. 3~2 -3- October 12, 1981 the staff strongly recommends the following stipulation: 1. That this variance, allowing a zero side yard setback along the coterminus property line of the newly re- subdivided lot, is for a "side by side common wall" duplex only, and shall not be construed as to allow the construction of any varying type of structure. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission recommends denial of this application.
