City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Purchases in Excess $2,500
The city charter stipulates the city council must approve
all purchase or merchandise, materials, equipment or construction
when the amount exceeds $2,500. There are two such items on
the council agenda for August 9, 1982.
COMMUNITY CENTER KITCHEN APPLIANCES
The city has received a Community Development Block Grant
for improvements at the Community Center including new
. appliances for the downstairs kitchen. Ten vendors were
contacted to provide quotations, and three submitted quotations.
The informal specifications asked for quotations on a six-
burner stove, oven, freezer, refrigerator, hood, fire unit and
installation of these items. Also requested were quotations for
alternates including removal of existing appliances, a micro-
wave oven, and credit for salvage of existing appliances.
L
Superior Products did not include quotations for the fire
unit, installation charges or the alternates. Palm Brothers
quoted $10,800 for the basic appliances and installation, no
quotation for the removal, $640 for the microwave and $450
credit for salvage. Aslesens quoted $9,424.05 for the basic
appliances and installation, $205 for removal of the existing
stove, $575 for a microwave and no quotation for salvage.
It is recommended that the city council auth:o~ize the purchase
of a six-burner stove, oven, freezer, refrigerator, hood, fire
unit, installation of the aforementioned appliances, and removal
and disposal of the existing stove from Aslesens in the amount of
$9,629.05.
Council Letter No. 255 -2- August 9, 1982
PICK-UP TRUCK
The 1982 budget for the central garage and equipment fund
provides for the replacement of one pick-up truck for the
Public Safety Department. In an attempt to save money on this
purchase, the Public Safety Department has been looking at the
possibility of buying a 1982 vehicle from local dealers stock
at a close-out price. We have received two quotations far
vehicles which will essentially meet the needs of the
Public Safety Department. The first quotation is from Grossman
Chevrolet in a total amount of $8,251.48. The second quote we
have received is from Thane Hawkins Chevrolet in a total amount
of $8,520.
It is recommended that the council authorize the purchase
of the vehicle from Grossman Chevrolet for the utilization
in our public safety fleet.

Subject:
Request for Ordinance Amendment to
Regulate Campaign Signs
There is an item on the August 8, 1982 city council agenda
requesting council consideration of an ordinance amendment
which would regulate political lawn signs. The letter from Mr.
Bob Lindgren, requesting council consideration of this matter,
is attached.
Current city ordinance regulates campaign signs under the
provisions for temporary signs. Major provisions of this or-
dinance require that temporary signs be strongly constructed
and securely attached to their supports, that they be removed
as soon as damaged or torn, and in no case later than 60 days
after their erection, that there be no more than one temporary
sign on any building frontage, that they do not project over
public property or right-of-way. The ordinance specifically
provides that election/campaign signs be removed within 14 days
of an election. (Chapter 3.47 Subdivision 3, (7)). Mr. Lindgren
is proposing additional restrictions specific to political lawn
signs which would prohibit placement of such signs more than
six weeks prior to an election, and require that a sign state
that it is promoting a candidate for a primary election.
The city attorney will present an ordinance amendment re-
garding this matter to the city council at the August 8, 1982
city council meeting.

Attention: Mayor John Hamilton
Dear Sir
As a candidate for Richfield School Board on two occasions, as well as
participation in various election campaigns at local and state level, I
have come to realize the importance of name recognition. This name
recognition can be acquired in a number of ways, one of which is the
use of lawn signs. Personally, I prefer to become known through comm-
unity service involvement over a period of time and earning the recog-
nition.
This brings me to the purpose of my letter. Political lawn signs, while
important to the election process, are not a thing of beauty and do not
enhance the appearance of the community. To find them appearing in early
July is an unfortunate thing at best and shows a total lack of regard
for our community and the people the candidate seeks to represent.
As a resident of Richfield, I am via this letter requesting that the
• City Council consider the establishment of a local ordinance prohibiting
the placement of political lawn signs of any size more than six(6) weeks
prior to any election, and if a sign relates to a primary election,
that it be so stated on the sign.
Thanks for your consideration in this matter. If there are any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Agenda August 9, 1932
The Honorable mayor

r.~embers of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council D~embers
Subject: Amendment to Ordinance Regulating Public
Nuisances
There is an item on the August 9, 1902 city council agenda
that would repeal a portion of the existing city code rea_arding
public nuisances. The portion of the ordinance proposed for
repeal is paragraph 1, Subd. 4 of Section 10.01, and reads as
follows:
"All snow and ice not removed from public sidewalks 12 hours
after the snow contributing to the condition has ceased
. to fall," (is considered to be a nuisance affecting safety.)
It is the opinion of the city attorney and city`s insurance
carrier that the current ordinance could place an unreasonable
burden upon the city. For example, it calls for correction of
the specified nuisance within 12 hours. In many cases, it may
be difficult or perhaps impassible for the city to comply with
its own ordinance which creates a major liability for us if
someone falls or is otherwise injured on sidewalks that are
allegedly improperly maintained.
Lnder common law, the city has the responsibility to take
reasonable care in elir.~inating such nuisances, similar to our
obligation relating to the care and maintenance of sewers. Thus,
the ordinance provision is not necessary, since we have the
jurisdictional responsibility to maintain public sidewalks in
passable condition anyway. It will continue to be our policy
to clear sidewal]s as quickly as possible after a snowfall
subsequent to street plowing.
It is recommended that the city council give first reading
approval to the ordinance repealing Section l0.pl, Paragraph 1,
Subdivision 4.
Respectfully subrlitted,

The Honorable Mayor

i~lernbers of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Ordinance Relating to "Snowbirds". Second Reading
For several years, the city has experienced problems in snow
removal due to cars parking on the city streets. At the July
26, 1982 city council meeting, the city council gave first read-
ing approval to an ordinance prohibiting parking on public streets
after a three-inch or more snowfall, until the streets had been
cleared, and scheduled the public hearing for the August 9, 1982
city council meeting.
If. the ordinance is approved, it would become effective prior
to the 1982/83 winter season, and allow for sufficient time to in-
form the public of the new regulations. Notice of the regulation
would appear in the Fall brochure, for distribution in September,
and in the Winter brochure, which will be distributed during the
month of December. The public will also be notified through inserts
in the utility bills and by including announcements on cable tele-
vision and in the newspapers.
A copy of the proposed ordinance amendr~lent is attached to this
council letter, and this item has been scheduled for a public
hearing at the August 9, 1982 city council meeting.

Council Members:
Subject: Amended Final Development Plan and Variance
for the Lake Shore Drive Condominium. Project
and Approval of Hold Harmless Agreement
•
In September, 19~i1, the city council approved a final
development plan and variance to allow the construction of the
178-unit Lake Shore Drive Condominium. Subsequent to that
approval, the construction of the project has proceeded.
Recently it has been discovered that the structure was not
constructed as was approved by the city. The floor area of
the building has been increased from 217,937 square feet to
220,898 square feet. The setbacks of the residential structure
have been changed as follows:
1. The setback on the west side has been decreased from
32 feet to 27.94 feet.
2. The setback on the south side has been decreased from
72 feet to 63.46 feet.
The city ordinances in section 3.34A Subdivision 7 require
that the development of a planned unit development district
such as this shall be in substantial compliance with the
approved PUD plan, Final Development Plan and any conditions
imposed by the council. The ordinance indicates that compliance
shall not be considered substantial if there is any change in
the original approved setbacks. Because there has been a change
in setbacks, the development is not in substantial compliance
and, therefore, an amended final development plan is necessary.
The city approved a variance allowing an increase in the
maximum allowable floor area from 145,158 square feet to 217,937
square feet. Because the completed project will have a floor
area in excess of the 217,937 square feet approved, a new variance
is necessary to allow the additional 2,961 square feet.
•
Council Letter A1o. 250 -2- August 9, 1982
• The staff has reviewed the request for an amended final
development plan and variance and find the following:
1. That the chances in setbacks would not be detrimental
to the public welfare. The setbacks on the north and
south side would still be greater than the 35 feet
required in a P'[R-3 zoning district. The setback on the
west side would be considerably less than is required
in the MR-3 district. However, the previously approved
setback also did not meet this requirement and the
decrease of 4.06 feet will have little impact because
there are no buildings adjacent to that side (only
Lake Shore Drive and the Wood Lake Nature Center).
2. The request for an additional variance would not meet
the three conditions necessary for granting a variance.
In the opinion of the planning staff, there are no
special circumstances present which justify the additional
floor area. The variance is not necessary to preserve
substantial property rights. The city has already
approved a substantial floor area increase to allow
development of the site. The site could have been
reasonably developed as originally approved. The
increased floor area would not be detrimental to the
public welfare.
The city staff has recently received an amended
plan for the development. Considerable landscaping
proposed on the site. The plan indicates that some
landscaping proposed will be within the right-of-way
Street. An agreement between the developers and the
holding the city harmless from damage or removal of
materials and injury caused by the planting materials
necessary. A draft of such an agreement is attached
information.

It is the recommendation of the city staff that the city

existing building location. While the increased floor area
will not be detrimental to the public welfare, the variance
does not meet the three conditions necessary for granting
variances. However, due to the circumstances involving the
project, the city manager recommends that the variance be approved
despite the lack of meeting the tests in the ordinance.
It is further reconunended that the city council authorize
the mayor to execute a hold harmless agreement with the developer.

City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Request for a Special Use Permit to A11ow
the On-Sale of Wine at 65192 Nicollet Avenue
South, Richfield Family Steak House
Rosemary Ranallo, representing Richfield Family Steak
House, Incorporated, has submitted a request for a special use
permit to allow the on-sale of wine at 65192 Nicollet Avenue. The
city council approved the application for a commercial building
permit to construct a restaurant at 65192 Nicollet Avenue,
Richfield Plaza Shopping Center, on September 24, 1962. The
off-street parking contract for Richfield Plaza Shopping Center
was adopted by the Village Council on July 10, 1961. The
request currently before the council is for a special use permit
to allow the sale of wine an the present location. No exterior
structural changes are proposed and the property is zoned C-2
general commercial. The existing restaurant use was established
prior to the requirement that restaurants obtain a special use
permit before locating in C-2 general commercial zoning districts.
The city staff has reviewed the request and found the
following:
1. There is insufficient. parking provided for the Richfield
Plaza Shopping Center, including Richfield Family Steak
House, Inc. There currently exists 135 parking stalls
in the main parking lot and space for approximately 40
parking stalls in the rear area. According to city
guidelines, 265 parking spaces should be provided for
the shopping plaza. However, peak parking demand for the
restaurant does not coincide with peak parking demand for
other uses.
2. The restaurant use is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
3. Interior remodeling of the restaurant will reduce the
• seating capacity from 123 seats to 80 seats, reducing
the parking requirement for the restaurant from 55 spaces
to 35 parkinct spaces. The restaurant is established on
Council Letter No. 249 -2- August ~~, 1982
• the site, the parking requirement has been reduced, ar.d
in the opinion of the staff the addition of on-sale wine
will not significantly increase the demand for parking
on the site.
4. With the exception of parking, the restaurant meets
all. ordinance standards for restaurants
STAFF REDOr~'II~4ENDATION
The intent of the committee which was set up to develop
the wine license provisions was than an applicant must meet
all requirements for restaurants serving liquor before a special
use permit should be issued. Therefore, while the staff believes
the proposal would not be detrimental, it is recommending that
this application be denied because the number of parking spaces
provided at the center does not meet city ordinance requirements.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMA7ENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the
special use permit.
The Public Safety Department currently has the application
• for an on-sale wine license under investigation. If the city
council approves the request for a special use permit to allow
the sale of wine, a public hearing on the issuance of the
on-sale wine license should be scheduled for the September 13,
1982 city council meeting.

Subject: Request for Special Use Permit to Allow
the Sale of Wine at 6700 Penn Avenue South,
Kenny`s Family Restaurant
•
r7r. Kenneth Youngberg, representing Kenny's Family Restaurant „
has submitted a request for a special use permit to allow the
sale of wine at 6700 Penn Avenue South. The staff can find no
evidence that the applicant has previously obtained a special use
permit to allow a restaurant in a C-2 general commercial zone.
The present special use permit request is to allow the sale of
wine at the present location. No structural changes are proposed
and the property is in an area zoned C-2 general commercial.
The city staff has reviewed the request and found the
following:
1. There are no construction or structural changes proposed.
2. There are no proposed changes in the use of the site except
for the sale of wine.
3. The restaurant use is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
4. There is insufficient parking provided for the restaurant.
Currently there are 14 off-street parking spaces. Accord-
ing to city guidelines, 30 off-street parking spaces
should be provided for a 108-seat restaurant. The city
has approved an off-street parking permit for the site
with the 26 additional spaces on the south edge of the
building for the Kenny's ~7arket use. The approval of a
special use permit would not create any additional
parking storage problems. The restaurant is established
on the site and in the staff's opinion the addition of
on-sale wine would not significantly increase the parking
demand on the site. An existing parking shortage problem
does, however, currently exist on the site.
Council Letter No. 243 -2- August 9, 192
• S. With the exception of insufficient parking, the
restaurant meets the requirements for restaurants.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It was the intent of the committee which developed the wine
license provision that an applicant must meet all requirements
for restaurants serving liquor before a special use permit
could be issued. The com.Tnittee felt a restrictive approach
should be taken toward wine license applications. Therefore,
city staff recommends that this request for a special use
permit be denied because the proposal does not meet city
guidelines for the provision of off-street parking.
If the city council approves the special use permit to allow
the sale of wine, a public hearing should be scheduled for the
September 13 council meeting to consider the issuance of a
wine license ..
PLANNING COMT~IISSION RECOr~sfENDATION
The Planning Commission could not reach a consensus on this
matter and passed it on for council action with no recommendation.

Council rlembers:
Subject: Request for Variance at 6418 14th Avenue South
PROPOSAL
Gordor. W. Holmes has requested a variance to reduce the
required sideyard setback requirements for an interior lot from
five feet to two feet to allow construction of an attached
garage/workshop and half-bath. Currently a detached 12-foot
by 20-foot detached garage exists on the site and is located
at the southwest side of the lot to the rear of the residence.
The new garage would be attached to the southwest side of the
• residence and would have a sideyard setback of two feet at the
south lot line. Entrance will be from 14th Avenue.
ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS
Section 3.30, Subdivision 5 requires minimum sideyard setback
of five feet for single family interior lots. Section 3.39, Sub-
division 3 requires structurally attached accessory buildings
comply in all respects with the requirements applicable to the
main building,. Section 3.40, Subdivision 6 lists three
conditions which must be granted before a variance can be granted.
STAFF FINDINGS
The city staff has reviewed the three conditions for
granting variances and found the followincx:
1. It is the opinion of the staff that no special conditions
exist on the site. The rectangular configuration of
the site is common to the surrounding district and
similar districts.
2. Denial of the variance would not prevent reasonable use
of the property. The applicant could continue to use
the existing unattached garage which complies with
sideyard setback requirements. The applicant could. also
• construct a garage smaller than the ene proposed, which
would meet city setback requirements.
•
Council Letter No. 246 -2-
August 9, 1982
3. It is the opinion of the staff that building-separation
from the adjacent residence must be considered. The
abutting residence is presently setback 8.6 feet frorn
the property line. The proposed addition will result
in a building-separation of 10.6 feet. The applicant
has the signed approval of the adjacent property owner.
•
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Because the proposal does not meet
necessary for granting variances, it is
the staff that the variance be denied.
has also expressed concern with the pot
hazard which may be associated with the
building.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council
Request for a Special Use Permit to Allow the
Operation of a Car-Rental Service at 6333 Cedar
Avenue South and Approval of Off-Street Parking
Permit
Mr. Eugene Jankowski, representing Southdale Manor Incorporated:
Ugly Duckling Rent-a-Car, has submitted a request for a special
use permit to allow the operation of a car-rental service at 6633
Cedar Avenue South. The previous use of the site included plumbing/
welding services and auto repair services. The present use abut-
ting the south line of 6333 Cedar Avenue is an auto body repair
service, and the present use abutting the north property line is
an auto service and repair. The subject property is zoned
Industrial. The applicant has stated he is prepared to do all
necessary repairs on the site to bring the building into conform-
ance with city building codes.
ZONING .ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS
Section 3.41, Subdivision 2 lists conditions governing the
issuance of special use permits.
STAFF REVIEGV
The staff reviewed the request and found the following:
1. The proposed use of the property is consistent with the
surrounding uses and the Comprehensive Plan.
2. No off-street parking permit has been issued by the city
for 6333 Cedar Avenue. The property owner has requested
that the city now issue such a permit. The proposal
would not meet the following city off-street par'_~cing
permit standards:
a. The proposal would be two parking stalls short of what
• is required by city ordinances. The plan shows that
five spaces will be provided, while the city's
guidelines require seven. There is sufficient area
on the site to provide the required number of spaces.
Council Letter ~o. 245 -2- August ~, 1~fi2
b. A portion of the vehicle storage area does not have
the required asphalt or concrete surface or perimeter
curbing.
3. The proposal is consistent with zoning ordinance standards
for public garages, car sales lots and related services.
4. Public Safety Department staff have inspected the site
and found that the following changes should be made:
a. The metal accessory building be physically detached
from the main concrete block building by:
1) Removing the double doors on the east of the main
building and filling the opening with concrete
blocks.
2) Removing the connecting partition and replacing the
opening in the metal building with the appropriate
s idina.
b. The metal building should be renovated so that it is
corlpliance with the following criteria:
11 The overhead door be replaced with a new door.
• 2) The facia (west side) of the building be refinished
so that it presents an integrated, uniform and
pleasing appearance.
3) The remainder of the metal building is repaired so
so that "every foundation, floor, wall, ceiling
and roof shall be reasonably watertight, weather-
tight and rodent proof."
5. Staff has some concern about whether or not there is
sufficient car storage space on the site for storing
rental vehicles. The applicant has indicated that he
would have a total inventory of 4Q cars, but that
typically there would be no more than 15 on the site.
The site plan shows storage space for 17 vehicles plus
three interior service bays. A limited amount of
additional area for storage of vehicles exists on the
site on the east and west sides of the building.
STAFF RECOMI~~ENDATIOI~
It is the opinion of the city staff that the proposal is of
the sar~P general character as the st~rroundina uses of the
subject property and would not substantially increase traffic
congestion on surr~oundina streets. It is recommended that the
c ity council approve the ~ spec ial use per?~it with the follo~~~ina
stipulations:
Council Letter No. 245
