City of Richf field
Council Members:
Subject: Resolution Conveying
The City of Richfield
sota
Certain Property Within
to the State of Minne-
Part of the Developer's Agreement between the Knutson Company
and the HRA, included the possible conveyance to Knutson of certain
lands lying northwest of the building. This tract, generally re-
ferred to as Tract 2, is comprised of the former roadway of vacated
and relocated Lakeshore Drive; the residue of lots created by the
county's condemnation for the 66th Street improvement, and a small
sliver of land which is presently held by the city for park pur-
poses.
In preparation for conveying the land to Knutson, the city
and the HRA have already vacated the relevant portion of Lake-
shore Drive and are obtaining title to the residual lots from the
county. The "sliver" of land which is held by the city as a park
poses an additional complication. Because the city does not hold
fee title to that land, it will be necessary to obtain title from
the state. The procedure which is followed in such circumstances
is for the city to relinquish its interest to the land and the
state will then convey fee title to the city. The transaction
does require that the land be sold for its market value. It is
anticipated, however, that the value would be insubstantial given
the size and use of the land. In the event a price could not be
agreed upon, the city would retain the right to use the land con-
sistent with its interest.
Attached to this council letter is a map showing the location
of the property, and a resolution which would begin this process.
This resolution has been placed on the July 12, 1982 city council
agenda for council action.

The Honorable Mayor
and
ti~embers of the City Council

Council ~?embers
Subject: Request for a Special T?se Permit to Allow
Conversion of a Service Station to a Service
Station Store, 6744 Penn Avenue South
PROPOSAL
Mr. K. Ingram, representing Conoco, Inc., has submitted a
request for a special use permit to allow conversion of an
existing service station to a service station store. Approval
for the present structure and use was granted by the city council
on March 27, 1.981, and approval for the present off-street
parking layout was granted on April 10, 1961. Proposed con-
version of the existing structure allows for interior remodeling
only, and no additions or expansion is proposed. City
ordinances require that a special use permit must be obtained
prior to conversion of a gasoline service station into a service
station store.
STAFF REVIEP~
The staff has reviewed the request and found the following:
1. That there are no exterior structural changes
proposed.
2. That lot size, structure and gas dispenser location
permits sufficient off-street parking to meet the
needs of the proposed use. There is no conflict
of circulation with the off-street parking area and
vehicles using the gas dispensers. The proposal
would not create undue traffic hazards on adjacent
streets.
3. That with the exception of buffer; screening, as
required by Section 3.33, Subdivision 3, paragraph h,
when C-2 lots abut residential lots, the proposed
gasoline station/store ^?eets C-2 general commercial
requirements.
Council Letter No. 227 -2- July 12, 1982
STAFF RECO?~"~°E~?DATIOr1
It is recommended that a special use permit be granted with
the stipulation that buffer/screening is provided along the west
property boundary of the site, abuttincr the adjacent residential
district.
PLANNING COf~9MISSION
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that
the special use permit be granted with the stipulation that
buffer/screeninq be provided along the west property boundary of
the site, abutting the adjacent residential district.

Council Letter No. 226
Agenda July 12, 1982
The Hc~:orable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council ^Iembers:
Subject: Amendment of Personnel Ordinance, Second Reading
On June 2~, 1932, the city council gave first reading
approval to a comprehensive revision of the city's personnel
ordinance. The public hearing and second reading consideration
of this ordinance amendment is scheduled for the July 14, 19£'2
city council meeting.
The attached ordinance amendment contains changes to the
personnel ordinance of three types: placement, lanQuaae and
substantive. The placement and language changes are primarily
proposed to facilitate easier comprehension of the ordinance.
Although the city`s administrative organization has undergone
considerable change in recent years, not all of these changes
have been consistently reflected in the city code. The language
and placement changes proposed to this ordinance would accomplish
that.
The substantive changes clarify or stipulate, by ordinance;
existing personnel practices. For instance, the previous
ordinance was unclear as to whether part-time employees were
eligible for longevity payments. The amended ordinance stipulates
that part-time erployees do not qualify for longevity benefits.
It has been the city's practice to not grant longevity benefits
to part-time employees; however, clarification of matters such
as this reflects a substantive change to the ordinance, though
not a change in existing practice.
It is recommended that the city council conduct the public
hearing and give second reading approval to the attached
amendment of the personnel ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,

be expected with increasing periods of service and other factors considered rel-
evant to employment, the department head shall recommend that the employee be
granted the next regular increase in pay. If, in the judgment of the depart-
went head, the employee's work has been below the standards that are expected,

Council
Subject: Purchases in Excess $2,500
The city charter stipulates that the city council approve
purchase of merchandise, materials, equipment or construction
when the amount exceeds $2,500. There are two such items on the
city council agenda for July 12, 1982.
CONCRETE REPAIRS
Water main breaks have necessitated the use of concrete for
repairs. One break, on Portland Avenue, required repair of
street, curb and sidewalk, and a second at 67z Street and
Wentworth Avenue required repair of curb. The city does not
have the equipment, manpower or materials for such repair, so
we solicited quotations to do this work. Two quotations were
received. PCI quoted $5,540. It is recommended that the city
council authorize the work to be done by Arcon Construction in
the amount of $5,295.
FALL BROCHURE
Four times a year each mailing address in the city receives
a brochure which includes information on recreation programs
offered by the city, community education programs offered by the
school district and other information of general interest and
importance. For the Fall 1982 brochure three quotations were
received to include paper, ink, printing, negatives and plates,
keylininq, binding to include folding, collating, saddle stitch
and packaging for 18,500, to be at the post office on or about
September 1, 1982. Different a_ualities of paper were quoted.
Of the paper products that :net specifications, Crosstown Printing
quoted $7,452, Bolger quoted $7,190 and Sexton Printing, Inc.

brochure as outlined above in the amount of $6,784.

Subject: Certificate of Completion
S & Pd Company's Lyndale Hardware
On August 25, 1980, the city council authorized the execution
of a developer's agreement with the S&M Company, the owner of
Lyndale Hardware. The purpose of the agreement was to facilitate
renovation of the hardware store property at 66th Street and
Lyndale Avenue. The agreement provided for the city to
authorize $1,500,000 of tax exempt financing for the project,
to sell some residual land adjacent to 66th Street, and to
purchase easements from the S&M Company that were necessary to
complete CP 705, the L/H/N public improvement project.
The deed conveying the property from the city to the S&M
Company contained "covenants, conditions and restrictions"
requiring them to renovate and develop the property in accor-
dance with the developer's agreement and the approved plans.
These conditions gave S&M Company less than clear title to the
property purchased from the city.
To provide clear title, the city agreed to issue a Certificate
of Completion when the renovation project was complete. The
Certificate, in recordable form, is filed with the Registrar of
Titles and indicates that the S&M Company has completed their
project to the satisfaction of the city. Community Development
and Public Safety Department staff have inspected the project and
found it to be in conformance with the plans approved by the
city council and other applicable ordinances and regulations.
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
resolution, authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute
a Certificate of Completion for the S&r1 Company's Lyndale Hard-
ware renovation project.

• Mr. Ahlquist is also requesting that the city approve an
off-street parking permit to allow him to construct improvements
to the existing parking areas on the site. In conjunction with
Mr. Ahlquist's improvements, the city staff is requesting
council approval of a landscape plan for buffering between Mr.
Ahlquist's property and the adjacent residential area, in accor-
dance with the L/H/N redevelopment plan.
The staff has reviewed this request for alley vacation, off-
street parking permit and landscape plan and found the following:
1. That there are overhead utility lines within the
existing alley right-of-way.
2. That the proposal would result in creation of a dead-end
alley because only part of the alley would be vacated.
City maintenance personnel have objected to this, since
dead-end alleys are difficult to maintain. It is
suggested that the city vacate the whole length of the
alley to rectify this problem. City staff has discussed
the vacation of the total alley with all but one
abutting property owner, and no objections have been
expressed. Subsequent to the Planning Commission
meeting, the staff has attempted to contact Mr. Opdahl,
owner of the cormmercial properties abutting the portion
of the alley not covered by Mr. Ahlquist's petition, to
see if he would sign a petition to vacate the alley
adjacent to his property. As of the time of the writing
of this letter, the staff has been unable to contact N1r.
Opdahl.
Council Letter No. 222 -2- July 12, 1982
One property owner (515 West 64th Street) has requested
. that access be maintained to his property from the alley
because he parks his truck and stores material in his
back yard. Access to his garage is from Harriet Avenue.
3. The access to the garage of one residential property
abutting the alley at 6420 Harriet Avenue is from the
alley. Access to this garage would be maintained.
4. The proposed improvements on the existing parking lot
meet city standards, except for the width of the driving
aisle at the northeast corner of the building, which is
19.5 feet wide instead of the required 22 feet wide.
5. The vacation of the alley would reduce city maintenance
costs.
6. In conjunction with the improvements to the parking lot
of the Ahlquist property, the staff is proposing to
install some landscape bufferinq on the perimeter of the
property. Attached is a copy of the approved redevelop-
ment plan, which indicates a major landscape area along
the existing alley. The staff believes that as long as
the owner desires to improve the property with building
and parking lot improvements, now would be an opportune
time to install the landscape buffer. When the CP 705
budget was updated earlier this year, $2,500 was identified
to be used in this landscape buffer area. The $2,500 was
not based upon any definite construction plan, but rather
envisioned some trees and shrubs to fill in existing gaps
in permanent residential landscaping.
Mr. Ahlquist has presented a plan which proposed a fence
at the north property line along what is now the alley,
between the commercial and residential property. In
addition, landscaping would be added along the Harriet
Avenue/642 Street frontage. A barrier curb will be con-
structed along the fence and landscaping in order to
provide protection.
The difference between the $2,500 budgeted amount and the
$9,500 estimated cost could be obtained from the L/H/N
irrigation account, CP 704. It was estimated that the
irrigation would cost $150,000. The total cost of the
project, including all indirect costs, will be less than
$140,000. $7,000 of the remaining balance could be
transferred to the portion of project for funding the
landscaping.

STAFF RECOb?MENDATION
The staff recommends that the entire alley located in Bloclc 6,
Lyndale Oaks Addition, be vacated, to ensure that a dead-end
alley not be created. To carry this out, it is recommended that
the city council adopt the attached resolution, accepting the
vacation petition and setting the public hearing on this matter
for July 26, 1932, and give first reading approval to the
attached transitory ordinance.
PLANNING COD1;~4ISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the alley be vacated
with the following stipulations:
1. That the whole alley should be vacated.
2. That proper access be maintained to .abutting property
owners.
3. That utility easements be maintained for existing utility
lines.

Subject: "No Parking Except Sunday" on Lyndale Avenue
From 74th Street to 76th Street
A group of businessmen from the 76th and Lyndale area which
was formed to study the traffic and parking problems in the
afforementioned area have met with the staff several times over
the past few months. The committee has concluded that part of
the traffic and access problem in the area is caused by the
on-street parking on Lyndale Avenue between 74th and 76th Streets.
In particular, the northbound traffic on Lyndale narrows from
two lanes to one at 76th Street when cars are parked on Lyndale
north of 76th Street. This narrowing occurs at the point where
• there are a significant number of left turns being made from
Lyndale to westbound 76th Street.
The businessmen's committee and the city staff agree that
the safety concerns in this stretch outweigh the need for on-street
parking. Generally, there is sufficient off-street parking to
accomodate the businesses adjacent to this segment of Lyndale
Avenue.
The minor arterial streets of Penn, Portland, Nicollet and
76th Street are generally signed "No Parking Except Sunday."
If any on-street parking is desired in this area,_it is recommended
that "No Parking Except Sunday" signs be installed consistent with
signage on the other minor arterial streets. All owners and
tenants of the property adjacent to Lyndale Avenue between 74th
and 76th Streets have been notified.
The Lyndale Avenue businessmen's committee and staff recommend
that the council adopt the attached resolution, ordering the
installation of "No Parking Except Sunday" signs on Lyndale Avenue
from 74th Street to 76th Street.

Subject: Ordinance Amendment Relatincr to Billboard
Height - Second Reading
On June 14, 1982 the city council gave first reading approval
to the attached ordinance amendment relating to billboard height.
As council members may remember, the council considered a request
from the Naegle Company for a special height permit to allow the
removal of an existing 50 foot high double-faced sign on the
roof of the Astleford Equipment Company, located at 400 73th
Street, and to construct a new 40-foot high, double-faced sign
on the vacant lot inunediately to the south of the city's central
garage facility. The council denied the special height permit,
gave first reading approval to the attached ordinance amendment
allowing billboards to be 40 feet high if they meet certain
conditions, and scheduled the public hearing on the ordinance
amendment for July 12, 19Fi2.
It is recommended that the city council conduct the public
hearing and give second reading approval to the ordinance
amendment. If the council approves the ordinance amendment,
it is further recommended that the council approve the issuance
of a sign permit to ~~aegle Outdoor Advertising, once the new
ordinance is effective, to allow removal of the existing bill-
board at 400 [°~est 66th Street, and the construction of a new sign
on the vacant lot immediately south of the city's central garage
facility. The proposed construction will meet the requirements
of the ordinance amendment.
