06-08-81 agendaCITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Off ice of City Manager Council Letter No. 200 Agenda ,Tune 8 , 19 81 Extra Item The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Confirmation of Appointment, Liquor Operations Director Immediately following the resignation of the previous Liquor Operations Director, the city staff began advertising for a new department head for this critical position in our city government structure. Advertising in several locations around the midwest resulted in approximately 130 resumes being submitted in application for this position. After narrowing down those applications, eight persons were invited for in-depth interviews. One applicant in this process possessed qualifications that stood out from all the rest. Therefore, I am requesting confirma- tion of my appointment of Mr. Bill Fillmore as Liquor Operations Director for the City of Richfield. Bill has been employed by the Armanetti liquor operation in Chicago, Illinois, where he is --- presently the Manager of the largest store in their chain (doing a business of around $4 million per year). Bill has extensive experience in supervision, merchandising, buying, inventory control, and on-premise sales for a multi-unit store company that is well- known in the midwest for its medium-range discount image. I have had the opportunity to visit his store, and was impressed with the obvious expertise that is displayed in the management of that store. Bill has a particular interest in wine and has been successful in expanding this profitable segment of the market in his store. As the manager of Armanetti's largest outlet, he trains managers for the other store locations. Bill has had a life-long interest in liquor retailing as a result of a family involvement. The two and a half years of college training that Bill completed emphasized business-related course work. Prior to his employment for Armanetti's, Bill had worked at another liquor store. The consultants on our liquor study, Beverage Marketing Inc., have known Bill through their relationship with Armanet,ti's Liquor Stores and recommend him highly for this position. I believe that he has the right combination of talents for our operation in Richfield.

There is one such item on the council agenda of June 8, 1981. PUMP AND RELATED EQUIPMENT Pumping and related equipment, such as control panel and piping, is needed for use in water retention areas, such as storm sewer holding ponds. One of the immediate sites requiring such equipment is Adams Hill Park pond. Funding for this purchase would be made available in the Revised 1981 budget of the sewer fund. Two written quotations were received to provide this equipment. Waldor Pump and Equipment Company quoted a total delivered selling price of $8,700 for a Flygt Submersible Pump and related equipment. Tri-State Drilling and Equipment Company provided a quotation of $4,800, for a Hydr 0-Matic Non-clog sewage pump and related equipment and an estimate of $500 for labor for a total price of approx- imately $5,355. It is recommended that the city council authorize the purchase of pumping equipment from Tri-State Drilling and Equipment Company at a total estimated price of $5,355.

A copy of the bid minutes and tabulation is attached for council review. For some time, the city has considered the purchase of a generator for use primarily in emergency situations related to pumping at storm sewer ponds and lift stations, and sanitary sewer lift stations. A current situation indicates that pumping equipment should be available at Adams Hill Pond until such time as a permanent storm sewer lift station can be provided. The estimated cost to provide power through NSP for operation of pumping equipment at this site is $9,000. In 1979, the city received bids for a generator listed as an alternate, but did not accept the alternate because funding was not available at that time. Three companies submitted those alternate bids, with prices at $11,000, $11,800, and $12,000. Essentially the same specifications were used in the bidding procedure at this time. One bid was received. Flaherty Equipment Corporation is a responsible bidder meeting specifications. Funding for the purchase is proposed to be included in the revised 1981 Sewer Fund budget. It is recommended t:iat the city coundil award a contract to Flaherty Equipment Corporation for one trailer-mounted generator, in accordance with the specification, in the amount of $11,940.

The ordinance specifies that the only parks where beer would be allowed are Augsburg Park and Taft Park, and that sale and consumption of beer is prohibited unless there is a council permit granted for the sale of beer. That ordin- ance contains several stipulations, including a requirement that an indemnity bond be posted, holding the city harmless from liabil- ity of any kind or character, that the sponsoring organization re- imburse the city for any property damage or clean-up costs, (deposit to be provided) be responsible for all clean-up expenses, that a police officer or officers, as determined by the city council, would be in attendance at the site at all times while beer is being sold, at the expense of the applicant. In addition to these and other conditions outlined in the ordinance, the city council requested the staff to .develop a resolution detailing additional policies re- lated to the sale and consumption. of beer at Augsburg and Taft Parks. The resolution establishes the following additional conditions on sale of beer in the parks: 1. All financial records, such as expenditures and reven- ues for and from the sale of beer, shall be made avail- able for review by the city staff. 2. Any sale or use permit approved by the city council is non-transferrable and may not be contracted to another concessionaire. 3. Any organization as defined in the ordinance code may receive only one permit per calendar year. 4. A sale or use permit is good for only one day and may not be transferred to another day, another permit site nor to another organization. Council Letter No. 196 -2- June 8, 1981 5. Sale or use of beer will be permitted at a maximum of once per month at each of the two permit sites. 6 . Draft ti~eer ~ is permitted . for dispensing in paper cups . Cans and bottles are not permitted. 7. Non-intoxicating beer, commonly referred to as 3.2 beer, is all that is permitted. Strong beer and other intoxi- cating beverages are not permitted. 8. The type and location of a beer concession must be approved by the city staff prior to the permit day. The park buildings and other city buildings or structures may not be used for beer concessions. 9. The sponsoring organization may dispense beer only between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on the day of the per.rnit. 10. The beer concession may not be set up prior to the day of the permit and it must be removed the same day as the permit. Set up time shall be approved by the city staff prior to the permit day and removal must be prior to the 11:00 p.m. curfew in the parks. 19. Deposits and other required forms, information and data are to be provided at the time of application for a permit.. 12. All beer applications shall be reviewed by such city de- partments as the city manager deems advisable as well as by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. The recommendation of such staff review and commission review shall be included as part of the city manager recommenda- tion to the city council. 13. Inspection of the permit site shall be performed by the city staff the day following the event for which a permit is granted. The cost for such inspection and any addition- al cleanup required as a result of the inspection shall be the financial responsibility of the sponsoring organ- ization. Over the years, the staff has received numerous complaints 'about beer drinking in the parks, most frequently related to soft- ball playing at Taft Park. Several years ago, the council took action to prohibit possession and/or consumption of alcoholic bever- ages in any Richfield park. Since that time, however, we have con- tinued to receive occasional complaints pf beer drinking in the parks. Although the ordinance prohibiting beer in the parks is still in effect, there was apparently some beer drinking, littering, and other things that took place Thursday night, May 28, at Taft Park. The staff received calls of concern from Northwestern Bell and from residents in the immediate vicinity. The new ordinance and proposed policy would provide for sale and/or consumption of beer under specific circumstances. While there have been some complaints about alcoholic consumption, partic- Council Letter No. 196 -3- June 8, 1981 ularly by underage individuals at Augsburg Park, the majority of complaints seem to focus on Taft Park and the softball players and fans, who use that park. Regular season softball play in- volves about five hours a night, four nights a week, Monday through Thursday. Fridays are used primarily for make-up games. By council policy, a maximum of two softball tournaments are allowed per month. There has been no problem with these tournament spots filling to capacity, evert without beer sales or consumption avail- able. While the proposed additional policy related to beer sale and consumption may appear restrictive, the staff is of the opinion that picnics, family gatherings, softball tournaments and other existing park uses would continue, even if a permit to consume beer were not available. The policy restrictions recommended for allow- ing~permits, has the intent of determming major potential problem causing events. In other communities where beer is allowed in parks, there has been major neighborhood opposition, especially with frequent softball tournaments that include beer sales. Potential problems include noise, litter, parking, public nuis- ance, including harassment, damage to persons and property, and urinating on public and private property. For the council member's information, there is a beer tournament on June 14, 198'1 at Dred Scott Park, 10820 Bloomington Ferry Road in Bloomington. The proposed policy would still allow for various functions, including softball tournaments, to have beer for sale and consumption. However, the proposed policy would allow the staff to monitor before, during and after an event and to make reasonable recommendations to the city council for issuance of a permit, without having a virtually open beer consumption in the city parks. It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached resol- ution, establishing a policy for regulating the consumption of beer in the city parks.

On February 17, 1981, the council scheduled additional hearings for the purpose of receiving testimony from those property owners who had submitted objections. G. and E. Strom, owners of the property at 6500-20-34-38 Lyndale Avenue South, requested that the hearing on their objection be continued because they were out of town at the time that the notice .for continuance of the hearing was mailed and at the time that the hearing itself was held on May 11, 1981.

Strom and Elaine Strom - City of Richfield (Special Assessment Appea~- City of Richfield Project Number 705) Gentlemen: In behalf of Dir. and Mrs. Strom, I enclose for inclusion in the transcript of the proceedings on the Stroms'- informal appeal from the foregoing special assessments, the original copy of a preliminary appraisal prepared for the Stroms by Mr. i4aynard C. Pasmussen, dated March 23, 1981. I call your attention to Mr. Rasmussen's conclusion which is that the assessments, combined with the moratorium pursuant to Ordinance Number 16.61 actually caused a reduction in the value of the premises, rather than an increase in market value as set forth in the Janski opinion. I would also request on behalf of Mr. and ?~lrs. Strom that you accept this letter as a petition for reopening the hearing, for causes based on the following: 1. At the time of the initial hearing on the appeal that was scheduled by the City of Richfield, Mr. Strom was on vacation and unable to participate in the proceedings. He returned from vacation late last week and immediately retained Mr. Rasmussen to make a preliminary report over the weekend of Dlarch 21, 1981. The preliminary appraisal prepared by rir. Rasmussen , indicates that there are material and substantial grounds for the Stroms' appeal and that these grounds should be made a part of the official record of the proceedings. 2. The Stroms are of the opinion that the Janski opinion fails to adequately assess the impact of the moratorium ordinance and the redevelopment activities in arriving at his opinion as to the increase of the market --... :: ~`_ ":~ ^r^^erty. Accordir.yly, t~lr. Strom would like to have additional testis:ony presented to the City Council on these issues. \ / City of Richfield Page 2 March 25, 1981 3. Mr. Strom has reviewed the synopsis of the testimony of Richard C. Krier and desires to present rebuttal testimony as to the manner in which the Lyndale-Hub-Nicollet Project improvement would be financed. All of these matters are material elements in the deter- ' urination of validity of the special assessments on the Strom 'property. The matters to be presented by the Stroms at a reconvened hearing would consist of the testimony of three or four witnesses and should take approximately one to one and one- half hours. t Please advise me if this letter o~ petition is satisfactory for the purpose of reopening the hearing. If not, would you kindly advise as to the procedure that you desire be followed. If this petition is satisfactcry, I would appreciate being advised of the date for the reconvened hearing as soon as possible. _ Sincerely yours, ~-;; ,`; ~ ~ `a - /~~, Bryce D.

DEFI~ITIO\ OF MARKET VALUE AND VALUE-IN-USE • 1 Market value is defined as the highest price, _ expressed in terms of cash money; that a buyer will pay for a property which has been exposed to the market for a reasonable time provided both the buyer and the seller are not under compulsion to act and provided both are reasonably well informed as to all l the uses to which the property is adapted and can be used. A Justice of the Supreme Court of the U. S. has said market value is a price at which the owner might have sold his property at or about the time of appraisal. "Value-in-use" is the accruing amenities which a typical buyer who is contemplating acquiring owner- ship would take into consideration and would consider as having monetary value.

Strom: I have reviewed the properties at 6500-38 Lyndale Avenue South, Richfield, Minnesota. - I have also reviewed the approximate $15,000 of general. improvements made in the area by the city but not specifically on tYie subject property. The City of Richfield has made the general improve- ments foi the benefit of all property owners in the city of Richfield. The city has put a moratorium plus excessive assessments on the subject property, both of wY~ich penalise and lower the market value of the property. This property is now burdened with the general improvement assessments. General assessments in the amount of $45,000 would not normally be recoverable from the market place but same specific well-placed improvement may be. The market valuation of a property is adversely affected by ex- cessive general improvements and may be affected in the amount of the assessment. If there is any question please call me.

The proposed circus performance will be sponsored by the Hub Merchants Association. Over the years, there have been several tremendously disasterous fires, which have resulted in substantial life loss, at tent shows. As a result of those fires and loss of life, the Uniform Fire Code has established some very specific fire safety requirements for tent show operations. In their application, the Carson and Barnes Circus has given no indication of their compliance experience with the Uniform Fire Code requirements. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Public Safety Director, in which I concur, that this license application be given conditional approval, with the requirement that the license applicant satisfactorily conform to all fire safety code requirements as may be required by our Department of Public Safety.

The bid minutes and tabulations are attached attached for city council review. This Sealcoating project is the second phase of an anticipated seven year project to sealcoat all of the city's permanent streets. An appropriation for this project is included in the 1981 street division operating budget. Attached to this council letter is a map depicting the area to be sealcoated in this phase of the work. Three bids were received for this work. There were two approaches, or alternates, for which the bidder was to submit a proposal. The first alternate called for the work to be done with a type of aggragate called buckshot. This is a rounded material or stone, and is the same type of aggregate used in the first phase of the sealcoating work. The city would be able to provide approximately 790 ton (material remaining from the sweepings of the first phase that could be reused) of the total estimated 3,630 ton required. According to the bids received, this material is cheaper, by approximately $4.26/ton, than the second alternate aggregate. The second alternate called for the work to be done with a type of aggregated that is chipped, with a more angular rock than the buckshot. All the aggregate material, an estimated 4,300 ton, would need to be supplied by the vendor should this alternate be accepted. Although more expensive, there has been some suggestion this material may be preferrable in that there is less movement when applied to the bituminous mat, and it would be longer wearing and provide less skid. These features may be especially important in winter months and/or at intersections or places of vehicular start and stop. There have also been suggestions that the buckshot aggregate is sufficient in a residential area where there is relatively little traffic, that it is quieter than the chipped aggregate (although the sound difference is minimal) and has the advantage of being cheaper than the chipped aggregate which may outweigh some of the advanatges offered by the chipped Council Letter No. 189 -2- June 8, 1981 aggregate. The second alternate requires more total tonage of aggregate and gallons of bituminous mat than the first alternate. Staff has observed and questioned communities such as Bloomington and Burnsville which have used both aggregate types. It is staff's opinion that residential areas such as that in this bid, should be done with buckshot type aggregate. Next year, main thoroughfares should be examined and for those areas the chipped aggregate should be used. Orr-Schelen-Mayeron, engineering consultants for the city, were contacted for an opinion of the two types of aggregate. OSM has concurred with the staff recommendation to use buckshot type aggregate in residential areas and chipped type aggregate in heavy traffic areas, such as main thoroughfares. It is recommended that the bid submitted by Bituminous Roadways be accepted, regardless of the aggregate type selected. The specifications were for 13.593 miles of local city streets. There are approximately 18 miles in one-seventh of the city. It is recommended that the council approve a change order to increase the contract by 25% (maximum allowed by statute) to take advantage of the favorable price and sealcoat almost one- eleventh of the city. It is recommended that the city council take the following actions: 1. Accept the bid minutes. 2. Award the contract to Bituminous Roadways in the amount of $99,064.35, for alternate one. 3. At7T~YCIVA a chance order to increase the contract a.;,cur.t `, ~' to~ $125,830.44. Respectfully submitted, ~~~ ~~e~:~C ~ 1~-.

Mr. John Paulson and Ms. Vivian Palthen have submitted a request for variances to allow the construction of a 1z story single fami.]_y house and an attached garage on the site located at 6228 Aldrich Avenue South. The variances requested are: 1. To reduce the minimum lot area of 8,000 square feet to 5,112.7 square feet; 2. To reduce the minimum lot frontage from 75 feet to 37.9 feet. The lot is located on the corner of Aldrich Avenue South and the Crosstown Frontage Road, which is an "L" intersection. The property north of the Frontage Road is the Crosstown 62 Highway right-of-way. A noise barrier wall has been constructed in this area. The property was originally subdivided at 75' x 134.9' and contained an area of 10,117.5 square feet. The subsequent construction of the Crosstown Highway and the frontage road north of the property resulted in the reduction of the lot width, and lot size. In June, 1967, the city council denied a request for variances to allow the construction of a single family house on this property. ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS Section 3.30, subdivision 4 of the zoning ordinance sets minimum lot area, frontage, and yard requirements for property in "R," single family residential zoning districts. The minimum lot area required is 8,000 square feet, and the minimum lot frontage required is 75 feet. Section 3.39, sibdivision 2 lists exceptions and modifications for yard requirements. Council Letter No. 188 -2- STAFF REVIEW June 8, 1981 The staff has reviewed this request against the three conditions which must be present for granting variances, and found the following: 1. This lot is not significantly different than any other in the City of Richfield. There are other lots of similar width and area with single family dwellings on them. However, this lot was originally platted so as to conform to applicable ordinances. The con- struction of the Crosstown Highway and the frontage road required taking a portion of the lot, thereby resulting in the insufficient lot width and area. 2. Denial of this application will preclude reasonable use of this property. There are no alternatives to develop this property for residential use except by granting of lot area and lot width variances. 3. The construction of a single family house on this lot will be an improvement and. should not be detrimental to improvements or residents in the neighborhood. The surrounding lots, however, do meet or exceed the minimum lot area and lot width requirements. Therefore, the granting of the requested variances will create a single family lot significantly smaller than those lots in the area and in the city, and could be construed as contrary to the community standards set forth in the zoning and subdivision regulations of the city's code. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Because the three conditions for granting variances have not been met, the planning division staff recommend denial of the requested variances to the lot width and lot area requirements. PLANNING COMMISSION The Planning Commission recommends denial of this application. The commission felt that the lot is not buildable and that the proposed development of a house on this lot would not be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood.

Thom NaacGibbon Dear Sir: Reference is made to the notice of Public Hearing for Tuesday, f~~!ay 26, 1981 regarding the application for variance and building permit at 6228 Aldrich Avenue South, Lot 2 Block 2 Fallden's Addition. own the joining property at 6232 Aldrich Avenue so. A few years ago Hennepin County wanted to sell me the strip of property that was left over from the Cross town Highway. I went to the Richfield City Hall and made an application for a building .permit and a variance on the property you now desigrrute as 6228 Aldrich Ave. So. I appeared before the City Council at a regu'arly scheduled meeting. It was Flatly denied. They told me there was far too much difference between the lot size and the required 75 ft. frontage, plus the fact that a house built longway on the lot would be inconsistant with that neighborhood. I did bid on the lot but was uncessful. strongly object to a variance and I would find it very diffic.alt indeed after being denied, to reconcile the fact than" now it would be all right for some one else to be granted a variance and a building permit on the same lot.

'~~kzz ,~' ~ ~a ~~ - May 21, 1981 PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF RICHFIELD 6700 Portland Avenue South Richfield, MN 55423 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is in answer to the form letter I received regarding the property at 6228 Aldrich Avenue South. I can not see how any- one can possibly build a home on this lot that would blend in with the other homes in the neighborhood. I can't visualize a skiney long house which would really add to our neighborhood. The thing that makes me most angry is that last year I called the Building Inspector or someone in your office as I wanted to put a fence on my land (with the same footage) as the one at 6228 Aldrich South and I was told I would have to put the fence 15 feet from the curb which would have been almost in the middle of this lot. I thought perhaps I misunderstood, so I called again and was told the same thing - 15 feet from the curb. I have lived at 6223 Bryant Avenue South for 24 years and I did think they would have given in a little but to no avail. The fence would have added alot more to our neighborhood than an overgrown house on a miniature lot. Sincerel~y~, .~ . C~~~ ~ .

The variances requested are: 1. To 2. To reduce the minimum lot frontage from 75 feet to 37.9 feet. The lot is located on the corner of Aldrich Avenue South and the Crosstown Frontage Road, which is an "L" intersection. The property north of the Frontage Road is the Crosstown 62 Highway right-of-way. A noise barrier wall has been constructed in this area. The property was originally subdivided at 75' x 134.9' and contained an area of 10,117.5 square feet. The subsequent ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS Section 3.30, subdivision 4 of the zoning ordinance sets minimum lot area, frontage, and yard requirements for property in "R," single family residential zoning districts. The minimum lot area required is 8,000 square feet, and the minimum lot frontage required is 75 feet. Section 3.39, sibdivision 2 lists exceptions and modifications for yard requirements. Council Letter No. 188 -2- June 8, 1981 STAFF REVIEW The staff has reviewed this request against the three conditions which must be present for granting variances, and found the following: 1. simil on them. However, this lot was originally so as to conform to applicable ordinances. struction of the Crosstown Highway and the road required taking a portion of the lot, resulting in the insufficient lot width an platted The con- frontage thereby d area. 2. Denial of this application will preclude reasonable use of this property. There are no alternatives to develop this property for residential use except by granting of lot area and lot width variances. 3. will be an improvement and should not be detrimental to improvements or residents in the neighborhood. The surrounding lots, however, do meet or exceed the minimum lot area and lot width requirements. Therefore, the arantina of the requested variances will create a contrary to zoning and STAFF RECOMMENDATION and in the city, and could be construed as the community standards set forth in the subdivision regulations of the city's code. Because the three conditions for granting variances have not been met, the planning division staff recommend denial of the requested variances to the lot width and lot area requirements. PLANNING COMMISSION The commission felt that the lot is not buildable and that proposed development of a house on this lot would not be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood.

Thom NiacGibbon Dear Sir: Reference is made to the notice of Public Hearing for Tuesday, i~~ay 26, 1981 - regarding the application for variance and building permit at 6228 Aldrich Avenue South, Lot 2 Block 2 Fallden's Addition. - I own the joining property at 6232 Aldrich Avenue so. A few years ago Hennepin County wanted to sell me the strip of property that was left over from the Cross town Highway. I went to the Richfield City Hall and made an application for a building permit and a variance on the property you now designate as 6228 Aldrich Ave. So. I appeared before the City Council at a regu'arly scheduled meeting. It was Flatly denied. They told me there was far too much difference between the lot size and the required 75 ft. frontage, plus the fact that a house built longway on the tot would be inconsistant with that neighborhood. I did bid on the lot but was uncessful. I strongly object to a variance and I would find it very diffic.alt indeed after being denied, to reconcile the fact than' now it wculd be all right for some one else to be granted a variance and a building permit on the same lot. Respec ully, ~" - ~ C. H. Goudy Owner, 6232 Aldrich Avenue o. Richfield, l1,~n. ~t 7 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 187 Agenda June 8, 1981 The Honorable riayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Request for Variance, 7525 Oliver Avenue South Mr. Larry DeFries, representing Woodlake Lutheran Church, has submitted an application for a variance to allow the installation of a 4' x 8' illuminated sign. The sign is proposed to be located on the southeast corner of the church property, near the intersection of West 76th Street and Newton Avenue South. The sign would carry the words, "Woodlake Lutheran Church" and a logo. The property is zoned "R," single family residential. ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS Section 3.30, subdivision 2 of the zoning ordinance allows churches, including nameplates, in "R," single family residential districts, by the issuance of a special use permit. Section 3.36, subdivision 2, states that only nonilluminated signs which do not exceed 10 square feet in area are allowed in "R," single family residential districts. Section 3.40, sub- division 6, lists three conditions which must be met before a variance may be granted. STAFF REVIEW The planning division staff reviewed this request against the three conditions for granting variances and found the following: 1. That there are no special conditions affecting this particular property. This lot is not significantly different than any other lot in a similarly zoned district. 2. That denial of this application will not preclude reasonable use of this property. A sign conforming to the ordinance, requiring no variances, can be installed. Council Letter No. 187 -2- June 8, 1981 3. That the proposed sign would be an improvement to the applicant's property. The sign location meets all setback requirements and should not pose any hazards to the public. However, specifications for the illum- ination of the sign have not been submitted; therefore, the staff is unable to determine the effects of the illumination. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Because the three conditions for granting a variance have not been met, the staff must recommend denial of this application. However, should the city council approve this request, the staff would recommend the following stipulation: 1. That the illumination of the sign be approved by the city manager to ensure that it poses no hazards to the welfare of the public. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends denial. of this application. The commission felt that an illuminated sign of such a large size was not appropriate in a single family residential neighborhood.

The City of Richfield has requested a special use permit to allow expansion of the Richfield Municipal Center Complex, located at 6700 Portland Avenue South. The proposed 13,500 square foot, one story addition will house the Public Safety Department. The property is zoned "R," single family residential. ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS Section 3.41,subdivision 1, paragraph 2 of the zoning ordin- ance states that a special use permit may be issued for a public service or building in any zoning district. Section 3.41, subdivision 5, establishes criteria for the granting of special use permits. STAFF REVIEW The planning division staff reviewed this application and found the following: 1. That the proposed addition will architecturally match the existing building. 2. That the proposed addition will not reduce the existing minimum setbacks. 3. As close as can be determined for this type of use, the off-street parking guidelines require one (1) off-street parking space per 200 square feet of gross -- _ floor area. The proposed 13,500 square foot addition requires an additional 68 parking spaces. The proposal makes no provision for additional parking spaces and thus does not meet the off-street parking requirements. The provision of additional parking spaces is contemplated in the future, in conjunction with the development of Memorial Park. The final number of additional spaces, however, has not been determined. Preliminary plans indicate that 51 additional spaces could be provided. Council Letter No. 186 -2- June 8, 1981 The existing structure contains 39,980 square feet. The required number of off-street parking spaces is 200, and only 104 spaces are actually provided. This deficiency in the number of off-street parking spaces has significantly contributed to the acute parking shortage during peak periods (court, recreational registration, licensing, elections, etc.) The overflow parking is forced onto residential streets such as Fifth Avenue and 67th Street. The staff feels, however, that because the proposed addition will not add or expand existing services, the parking problem will not increase. The staff further feels that the city should endeavor in the future to provide additional parking spaces as determined by a specific use analysis. 4. That the surrounding zoning is "R" single family residential and surrounding land use is single family residential and public park. 5. That the addition is necessary for better and more efficient provision of necessary public safety services to the community. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Because the addition is necessary for better provision of necessary public safety services, and because the addition will not result in any conditions which would be detrimental to the public welfare, the staff recommends that the special use permit be granted. The city should alleviate the existing parking shortage by providing the maximum number of additional parking spaces possible when Memorial Park is improved. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends approval of this application with the stipulation that an additional 51 off-street parking spaces be provided as part of the development.

This variance will allow construction of an addition to the side and front of the house. The current setback requirement is the average front yard setback on the block, which is 47.41 feet. The proposed addition will reduce the front yard setback to 43.27 feet. The property, located at 7430 Portland Avenue South, is zoned "R," single family residential, as is all the surrounding property. The surrounding land use is also single family res- idential, with the exception of a duplex located across the street at 7427 Portland Avenue South. ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS Section 3.30, subdivision 4, and section 3.39, subdivision 2, of the zoning ordinance list the lot area requirements for "R," single family residential property. According to these sections, the required front yard setback is the average depth of the front yards .on the block, since more than 25 percent of the houses on the block have setbacks different from the normally required 30 feet. In this case, the average setback on the block is 47.41 feet. Section 3.40, subdivision 6, lists three conditions which must be met before a variance may be granted STAFF REVIEW The planning division staff reviewed this request against the three conditions and found the following: 1. That there are no special conditions affecting this property. The lot is of sufficient size and is not significantly different than any similarly zoned lot in the City of Richfield.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Because the three conditions for granting variances have not been met, the staff must recommend denial of this application. It is the recommendation of the City Manager that this variance be approved. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends approval of this application. Respectfully submitted, c Karl Nollenberger City Manager Dear Neighbors - We have made application to the city of Richfield for permission in the form of a variance, to expand our existing resident's. We are seeking to encroach the setback requirement ::. along Portland Avenue South, by 2.0 feet. For_the most part this will hardly be noticeable, however we feel that your added support will enhance our efforts to secure the variance. We intend to use the variance to construct an addition to our home, which will provide us with much needed bedroom and living space. We would. greatly appreciate your cooperation by signing this letter of petition which we will present to the city council, city planning committee, and city staff, showing your support.
