Subject: Public Hearing Regarding Sidewalk Improvements,
Penn Avenue
A public hearing on 1981 sidewalk construction has been sched-
uled for the February 9, 1981 council meeting. The proposed project
will complete the sidewalk system on both_ sides of Penn Avenue from
the Crosstown n T- Exhibit A shows the areas designated for
the proposed sidewalk construction.
On January 12, 1981 the received the preliminar y en-
gineering repor or this project. At that time, sidewalk construc-
t ortion of Penn Avenu one block either side
o 6t S_treet, was left out of the project in antici ation o�
intersection improvements to be completed in-that--area-by Hennepin
County— n 1983 or 1984. The council requested that the staff fur -
tYier investigate prans for the intersection.
Further investigation indicates that 1981 instalLation_of - --- - -side-
=- - ---
walks near 66th Street__ on_ Penn Ave nue- would _Ee_v_ery- _costly. South
0 66th Street on Penn Avenue, there are parking_ lanes on both sides
of the street. The rig-ht--of-way line is only about one foot behind
the curb, which means that right -of -way would have to be purchased
to make room_ for a sidewalk to be built in this area. North of 66th
reet sidewalk is needed on the west side_ of Penn. There is
enough right -o -way or` tie sidewalk to be bu -ice in this area. How-
ever, the county's preliminary engineering plans indicate that the
street in this area is to be widened. To-- .n- stall this sidewalk far
enough back so that it would not be affected by future- is reet im-
provemen s equire right.- of_- w_ay_.pur-chase_. The total estimated
riaht- e se_c-os_t.. would- be:
South of 66th Street $36,4765
North of 66th Street 13,9`5
TOTAL $50,37
If, we wait for the intersP (-t;en r 4-4- nth-e county will
pay all or part of these riu_h.t- of -waS7 _rchase costs. For this
reason, th ommends that _wes %ter sidewalk_construction on
the west side c.f.�enn__Avenu from 65th to 67th Street and on the
Council Letter No. 50 -2- February 9, 1981
east side of Penn avenue from 66th to 67th Streets until the county
reconstructs the intersection. If the county s p ans s ou all
throug , the city could build these sidewalks in some other year.
The sidewalk is to be constructed of concrete, be 5 feet wide
and 4 inches thick. It will generally be placed in the boulevard,
one foot_from_ the- property - line, and -will match the existing grade
whenever possible. Handica placed along the whole
leng±J oZ pe __Avenue where they _do not presently exist.
The sidewalk assessment policy already established for the
76th Street sidewalk project contains the following assessment
procedure:
- All costs of the sidewalk construction will be spread
evenly over the total length of the sidewalk to pro -
duce a cost per._ _1inea_L f-oo -t;
- Single family-. - -and two family residential property
shall be assessed 20 percent of the cost of the abut-
-____ _ _ -
tjn�idew-alk; however, the maximum assessment for
residential property will be based upon the shortest
of the twoimary dimensions of the property;
- All other properties will be assessed for 50 percent
of—the -cost of the sidewalk abutting the property.
The total project will include sidewalk, sod, handicap ramps,
administration and engineering costs. The engineer_'s est_imate_for
the Penn Avenue sidewalk, excluding the sidewalk near 66th Street,
is The 76th 76th-Street- sidewalk construction is estimated
to cost $69__ 750_ Excluding the sidewalk construction near 66th
Stree tion cost will _ be_$1.61 -,750
($92,000 + $69,750). In the 1981 Capital Improvement Budget
$185,000 was budgeted for sidewalk construction, which leaves
$23,250 for other sidewalk construction. .
A resolution ordering the Penn Avenue project is attached,
should the council choose to proceed with this project after the
February 9, 1981 public hearing. It is recommended that the
council approve this resolution.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 47
Agenda February 9, 1981
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City'Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Purchases in Excess of $1,000
Chapter Six, Section 6.05 of the city charter stipulates that
the city council must approve purchases of merchandise, materials,
equipment or construction when the amount exceeds $1,000. There
are two such items on the council agenda for February 9, 1981.
Electric Hoist
The adopted 1981 central garage /motor pool division budget in-
cludes funding for the purchase of an electric hoist. The three
mechanics assigned to this division provide most of the maintenance
for the city's fleet of vehicles and equipment. The hoist would
provide a more efficient operation in moving major parts, engines,
etc. Three quotations were received for the two ton, three phase
hoist. Dakon quoted $1,131; Zeco quoted $1,066; and Olsen Chain
and Cable quoted $1,038. It is recommended that the city council
approve purchase of a hoist from Olsen Chain and Cable, in the amount
of $1,038.
Freon
Freon is the chemical used in the refrigeration system at the
Ice Arena to maintain the ice sheet. On Friday, January 30, 1981,
the compressor began to leak freon. Emergency measures were taken
to repair the leak and replace the freon, and the ice sheet was not
damaged. Other arenas have had similar problems in the last year
or two and some have had to close down for several weeks or months
until repairs could be made. The Richfield Arena was quite fortu-
nate in being able to save the ice sheet. A shut off valve helped
save the situation, although much freon was lost. Therefore, it is
recommended that the city council approve the emergency purchase of
1,000 pounds of freon from Holmsten Ice Rinks, Inc. in the amount
of $1,350.

Subject: Ordinance Amendment Relating to Pay Plans
and Compensation Policies, Second Reading
There is an item on the February 9, 1981 city council agenda
providing for council consideration of an ordinance amendment_re-
1ating to _ oyertime pay and compensatory time -off policies of the
city. A copy of the proposed ordinance amendment, whicl was - -given
first reading approval on January 12, 1981, is attached to this
letter.
The attached ordinance amendment is designed to make certain
minor language changes i ordi_ nanr_e__cQde _that will insure
comp t e _ c-urrent state statutes relating to over-
time pay and compensatQ.- y__time, and to reflect past policy, on
overtime compensation_-a,t._- tom_._ foreman_.1eveL _ of_ -sup- er_vi.s_ -L(m- The
ordinance contains three changes:
The first change adds a paragraph (3) to the section which
exempts certain employees from overtime pay, and is in accordance
with MS 177.23 and 177.25. The second change relates to compen-
satory time off in lieu of overtime pay, and allows that such
compensatory time off be granted on a time and one -half basis
instead of a straight time basis. This conforms to the rate of
cash payment to overtime worked and is required by MS 177.25
Overtime. This change will also encourage the use of compensatory
time for overtime, rather than overtime cash payments. The third
change allows for the payment of overtime to foremen in the city
as has been the past city practice. When the new pay plan was
adopted, the foremen were included in the management pay plan
for the first time, which has created a problem with overtime
provisions. The existing practice has been recommended for con-
tinuation, due to the unique characteristics of the position, and
the fact that the foremen supervise employees who frequently
receive overtime cash payments.
It is recommended that the city council give second reading
approval to this ordinance amendment at e Fe ruary y
council meeting.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 42
Agenda February 9, 1981
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Request for Variance, 6401 Standish Avenue
Wayne C. Kline II and Phyllis M. Kline have submitted an
application for a variance to reduce t-r,P u ' ee -moot
hedge setback f. lic rights -sway to_.z&r- o---f_ee_t._ The var-
iance would permit the planting oof a hedgerow on the applicant's
west property line and within the Buhl ; r- r; c3ht- of =way ads agent
to the applicant's north property.1ine. The applicant has not
e ermined the exact location of the north portion of the hedge-
row except that it is proposed to be within public right -of -way.
The proposed hedge is to consist of dogwood and redbark shrubs,
4 feet in height. The property, located at 6401 Standish Avenue,
is zoned "R ", single family residential.
Staff Findings
ing:
The staff has reviewed the application and found the follow-
1. That the intersection of E. 64th Street and Standish
Avenue is controlled by stop signs at the four corners,
and should not affect the proposal;
2. That there are no
of Standish Avenue
are plans forte
existing sidewalks on the east side
or on 64th Street. However, there
Pwalks to be installed on the east
si e tandish AvenuE
U-9; .
3. That the r-Qadway is approximately three feet below
the grade of the app scant s proper and the hedge-
row would impair visib-ilit.u- on._�estbound 6 th Street.
The staff reviewed the request against the three conditions
for granting a variance and found the following:
1. Except that 64th Street deadends at the applicant's
rear property line, there are no conditions affect-
ing this particular property. This is a typically
Council Letter No. 42 -2- February 9, 1981
sized lot and is not significantly different than
any other lots in the City of Richfield;
2. Denial of the application would not preclude the ex-
isting property use. There are alternatives for
constructing the hedge that would not require a var-
iance;
3. The three foot setback requirement is intended to en-
sure that sufficient snow storage space is available
adjacent to public sidewalks. The hedgerow would
occupy this snow - storage space -along Standish Avenue
where a sidewalk -is planned. Also, the hedgerow would
be within the 50 feet visibility triangle at -t e-- inter-
ection, and would - - significantly impair visibility on
we`�T�ound 64th Street east of Standish Avenue. Although
the hedgerow meets the height requirement of four
feet, the grade difference between the roadway and
the applicant's property would exaggerate the height
of the hedgerow. However, the staff also feels that,
as an alternative, if the hedgerow were set back five
feet from the northwest proper y corner, ere =would
be -s-u- T E 1c1 erit visibility.
Staff Recommendation
Although the proposed hedge would be an improvement to the
applicant's property, the staff recommends that because the
three conditions for grantin�v�riances have not been._mot and

Re: Request for Variance and Statment on Conditions
My reasoning regarding the feasibility of this request is, in the main,
that sidewalks on either side of 6401 Standish Avenue are remote. Con-
struction of a sidewalk on the Standish kve. side is rather remote in
view of the topograph on the 64th block. In that 64th Street deadends
east of the Standish Ave crossing, there is little or no pedistrian
traffic on that block. Therefore,,in my estimation, the need for a side -
walk is very unlikely.
I will maintain the planting in a controlled manner. I would accept
any future determination on sidewalk construction and would be prepared
to move the shrubs, if requested„
If permission to plant these shrubs is granted, in variance of city
ordances, there will be no adverse effects on neighborhood health,
safety (not to forget the general public, also)

The Honorable Mayor

Council Members:
Subject: Request for Subdivision Waiver for Property
at 74th Street and Lyndale Avenue
Mr. Jerry Hanson, representing Mr._Philop C. Smaby, owners
of the property located at the southeast corner of the 74th
Street and Lyndale Avenue intersection, have requested a sub -
`d- ivision waiver to allow them to divide the parcel into two lots
and sell the parcels to separate buyers. They have a signed
purchase nt w th_a.buyer for the west" ee f—the par -
ce .
A survey recently completed by the owner is attached. The
total parcel measures 135.26 feet by 279.51 feet. Existing build-
ings on the lot include a 40 foot by 60 foot two -story brick
C:o arrial office building on the west portion of the lot. A
one and one -half story dwelling, a - -20— foot - -by 30 foot garage, and
a small tool shed exists on the east portion of the parcel. The
west 125 feet of the parcel is zoned C -2 gezeral commercial. The
remainder of the site is zoned MR _ multiple residence. he owners
are proposing to ivi e e parcel into two lots. The division
line between the two new lots would be coterminous with the zoning
district boundary line.
If the division is approved as proposed, the existing build-
ings will have slightly substandard setbacks. The rearyard set-
back of the commercial building would be 24.94 feet instead of
the required 25 feet. The shortage would be .72 inches. The
sideyard setback of the existing dwelling would be 4.75 feet in-
stead of the required 5 feet. The shortage in this case would
be three inches. It is the feeling of the staff that these
shortages are not significant and that it is desirable to estab-
lish the division line at the zoning district boundary to provide
for easier administration and application of the city's zoning
ordinance. Also, in all likelihood, the eastern portion of the
site will be redeveloped with some kind of multifamily use,
which will be required to meet the setback requirements. This
would eliminate the dwelling and setback shortage.
The city's subdivision regulations require that the city
City Council Letter No. 40 -2- February 9, 1981
approve divisions of land into two or more lots, any of which
is less than 5 acres in area. Because the proposal involves
the division into two lots less than 5 acres in area, the city
must approve the division before any conveyance of property can
take place. Thy normal pros- e�re for _city approval of divisions
is f_ or a plot or_re_gistered -1 and survey to -be developed and
S, for__planning commission and city council review. The
subdivision recr1111at -ionc do- however, allow the council to waive
this procedure where compliance to the normal procedure-- 4v -11 -1
result in an unnecessary hards ip, and where the purposP of the
sub ivision requ a ions is not inter -fered -with. The council may,
at its option, refer such questions to the planning commission
for recommendation before council action.
The owner is requesting such a waiver to_ allow _him to close
the sr west portion of the site within --- the time frame
established within t e purc ase agreement.
It is the opinion of the staff that the waiver would not in-
terfere with the intent of the subdivision regulations, but that
the council may want to refer the matter to the planning comm-
ission prior to taking final action. If the council wishes to
take final action on this matter at this time, it is recommended
that the council adopt the attached resolution waiving compliance
e su division rocepre.

RESOLUTION WAIVING COMPLIANCE WITH
SUBDIVISION PROCEDURE
WHEREAS, Mr. Philip C. Smaby, the owner of the property
described as follows:
The west 1/4 of the north 5 acres of the northwest 1/4
of the southwest 14/ of Section 34, Township 28,
Range 24, according to the U. S. Government Survey thereof.
has requested a subdivision waiver in accordance with Richfield
ordinance Section 3.54, subdivision 5, to allow the division of
the property into two lots; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Richfield has reviewed
the request and found that compliance with the normal subdivision
procedure would cause the owner of the above described property
undue hardship and time delay; and
WHEREAS, failure to comply with the normal subdivision pro-
cedure would not interfere with the purpose of the platting
regulations outlined in Richfield Ordinance Chapter III, Part VI.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Richfield, Minnesota that a subdivision waiver is hereby
granted to Mr. Philip Smaby to allow subdivision of the above
described property into two lots.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield this
9th day of February, 1981.

Sy via K. Bergh, City Clerk
January 29, 1981
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I am acting as a representative for Philip C. Smaby, the owner of the property
at the southeast corner of 74th Street and Lyndale Avenue in Richfield. The
owner would like to divide the property into two lots.
The west portion of the property is zoned general commercial (C -2) and the east
portion is zoned multiple family residence (MR). We are proposing to divide
the property so that the new property line dividing the two lots coincides with
the zoning district boundary line. The two parcels would then be sold to sep-
arate buyers. We currently have a signed purchase agreement with a party inter-
ested in the west lot. A copy of a survey we recently had completed is attached
for your reference.
As I understand, all divisions of land in Richfield must be approved by the City
Council. I also understand that according to Richfield City Ordinance, Section
3.54, subdivision 5, the council may waive the normal platting procedure.
I would hereby like to request that the council waive the platting procedure so
that we can convey the west lot to our interested buyer. I feel that the waiver
is necessary for the following reasons: 1) Because the request falls right on
the zoning line, this is nothing other than what the City of Richfield, many years
ago, designated as their preference of division of this lot. 2) Time being of
essence because of the request of the buyer and seller; 3) Seller will comply with
all other legal requirements such as platting and furnishing new abstracts and
forms for tax purposes for the City of Richfield; 4) For the good of the citizens
of Richfield, the City of Richfield, and both the buyer and seller, we feel the
improvement of this property, long over due, will finally be accomplished.
Because of the time constraints that we are under we would request that the council
consider our request at the February 9, 1981 City Council meeting. I appreciate
your consideration of my request.
Respectfully submitted,
Jerry Hanson

Council Letter No. 39
Agenda February 9, 1981
Subject: Presentation of Award to "Employee of the Quarter"
An item has been.scheduled for the February 9, 1981 city coun-
cil meeting, providing for formal council recognition of Jean Mitchell,
Finance Coordinator,--who has been selected as the "Employee of the
Quarter" or the period October - December, 1980.
The "Employee of the Quarter" is a relatively new program estab-
lished in January, 1980, to give recognition to city em loyees o
make significant_ contributions to the overall city organization.
Jean Mitchell was selected t is quarter or er c inuous outstand-
ing service to the city. In the past year, Jean has assumed several
additional workload duties, which have necessitated her working
many long, extra hours. For example, during the preparation of the
1979 annual financial report, Jean undertook the unenviable task--of
- - - - -- --- -
c- ete.re�ier_uc'i�uring tTze financial__z_eporting system to coincide
with the chance_ n_ he_cityIs organizational structure. This was
an extremely time - consuming and complex task for which Jean assumed
virtually the sole burden, because in effect, she had to prepare a
dual statement to first collect and organize the data as it existed
during 1979, and then rework all accounts to correspond to the new
organizational structure in order to provide for comparability in
1980 and future years.
Ms. Mitchell will be present at the February 9, 1981 city coun-
cil meeting to receive this award.

Agenda February 9, 1981
The Honorable Mayor

Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Request -for Variance, 7720 Nicollet Avenue
Representatives of Superamerica have submitted
a request for a variance to allow the construction of a free-
standing _.._._.�
stan_ding canopy at 7720 N co e -- 'the design of the prop -
dsed 56' x 42' free - stand' can ould match other proposed
improvements to the existing_ building at that location. Me
proposed free - standing canopy is a part of a plan by Superamerica
to occupy and refurbish the existina_�t�c�nt building into a gas-
oline service s ation sto e. The property has been the site of
trari ne service stations and service station stores in
the past. The property which was previously granted a special
use permit for a gasoline service station store, is zoned "C -2"
general commercial.
The staff has found that the proposed canopy is to be 17'
in height. The maximum allowable height _for canopesis 16'.
It is the opinion o e s a that the applicant needs a
variance in order to construct a 17' high canopy. The staff be-
lieves that this variance to the height requirement should be
reviewed in conjunction with the original variance request to
construct a free - standing canopy.
Staff Review
The staff has reviewed the proposal against the three con-
ditions for granting variances and found the following:
1. That there are no special conditions affecting this
particular property. This property is not significantly
different than any other lot in "C -2" general commer-
cial zoning districts.
2. Denial of this application does not preclude reason-
able use of this property. A canopy can be constructed
so as to conform to the ordinance requirements.
3. That the px4.po_sal would be. an__improv.emen_t_ to- -the
applicant's property and would not pose any hazards
tb�he welfare of the public.
Council Letter No. 38 -2- February 9, 1981
Further the staff believes that the city council should be
informed that the existing Su erameri_ a Ser ti
vice Staon at 7645
Nicollet Avenue would be_.re a ata(� to Nicollet Avenue. The
Suuperamerica Station at 7645 Nicollet Avenue is a non= conforming
use, in that the property is zoned "C -1 ", neighborhood business.
Superamerica has indicated that the site may __be_used as a training
center for its employees, although no formal plans for conversion
of the building to this use have been submitted for review at
this time.
Staff Recommendation
While the proposal would significantly improve existing land
use conditions in the neighborhood, the proposal has not satisfied
all three conditions for granting variances, therefore, the plan-
ning staff must recommend denial of the requested variances. The
city manager recommends approval due to the improvement to the
welfare of the neighborhood.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The planning commission recommends approval of the variance
requests.

Council Members:
First Reading of Ordinance Amendment Relating to
Subject: Vacation of a Portion of Lake Shore Drive
As an element of the West 66th Street improvement project,
the city is proposin� to vacate a portion of Lake Shore Drive.
Vaca'ting this portion of Lake Shore Drive is necessary to carry
out the overall West 66th Street improvement pro�'ec ' pare of
which includes relocation of Lake Shore Drive to intersect with
West 66th Sttre��at Rae D -rive _. The proposal will eliminate two
angerous T" intersections (Rae Drive /66th Street, and Lake Shore
Drive /66th Street) and includes installation of a traffic signal
at the new intersection. This realignment of the intersection
will create safer conditions for vehicle turning movements as
well as pedestrian and bicycle traffic. A description of the
portion of Lake Shore Drive to be vacated is attached.

5. Continue a median through the Lake Shore Drive inter-
section;
6. Continue a median through the Rae Drive intersection.
The analysis indicated alternative one as the best possible
solution to the existing traffic problems in that area.
Council Letter No. 37 -2- February 9, 1981
In December, 1 979,,_ th_e -._c- ity._council approved a design concept
p_an for improvements ,to_ West- 66th Street between Lyndale Avenue
and I35W. Included in this concept plan is the re at±On -of
La:tie Shore Drive. A series of neighborhood, RI`;G and CIC meet-
ings followed council approval of the concept plans. In May,
1:80, the city council passed a resolution authorizing implementa-
�-ion_.Q t-hP enai ParinJr contract and agreements initiating right -
c= -way purchase - for -the proposed improvements. On January 5, 1981,
- Btate Aid
Eng i neering Division of the State of Minnesota
approve the West 66th Street improvemen s n - =r- enn-epin County
and the City of Richfield. Thus, the next step in the process is
t vacate that portion of Lake Shore Drive designated in the plans
fcr vacation so that the project can be carried out.
Staff Findings
The staff has reviewed the proposal and found the following:
1. That the residual property _weuld be r-tLrned to the
abutting roperty owners, In this case, the HRA and
Hennepin Count will b�_habutting _ property_ owners .
he HRA is to acquire the n�Yt; on rty_ owned
by the county,, which is to be made --.a par'- of the multi-
family_te. The multi - family site will then be sold
in accordance with a developer's agreement and the
L /H /N redevelopment project plan;
2. That the relocation and vacation of Lake Shore Drive
will result in safer traffic conditions on West 66th
Street;
3. That utilities exist on Lake Shore Drive. These util-
ities are'owned by the City of Richfield, Northern States
Power, Minnegasco and Northwestern Bell;
4. That the proposed vacation is in substantial compliance
with the regulations governing street vacations.
S =� =f Recommendation
The proposal will not be detrimental to the safety or wel-
fara of the general public; therefore, the staff recommends the
app -oval of this vacat ; on .of _ a-__pgrton_ o _-Lake Shcre Drive, with
tt-- follow n —s_tipulation :
1. That the necessary utility easements be ^ranted.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The planning commis_s_i -on recommends approva_._c= -h _street
-
vac-tion , wi - t�pulatio and the stip --lation that

ra�a motion recommending that the city deed the parcel of prop-
er west of the relocated Lake Shore Drive right -c= -way line
to :.e abutting property owner. The staff subsequently learned
Council Letter No. 37 -2- February 9, 1981
that this parcel of property is already owned by the abutting
property owner, as a result of a parcel boundary line change
some years ago which is not reflected on the attached map.
The county is not acquiring any excess property beyond the
right -of -way as a result.

Subject: Planning Commission Resolution Approving

West 66th Street
The planning commission and the city council have previously
passed resolutions authorizing the acquisition of property to
facilitate construction of the West 66th Street improvement proj-
ect. Part of the project includes relocation of Lake Shore Drive,
which necessitates purchasing the properties located at 901 and
911 West 66th Street. However, the completed project will use
only portions of these properties, and the remaining portion of
the properties can be resold. (See attached map). The planning
commission has reviewed the sale of this residual property, and
found that the sale of the property is in compliance with the
goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, which indicate that
the city should promote a variety of housing types, create an
improved living environment and accommodate the demand for addi-
tional residential dwelling units within the Lyndale /Hub /Nicollet
area. The residual property is to be annexed to the multi - family
site of the Lyndale /Hub /Nicollet redevelopment project, which is
to be incorporated into the developer's agreement, and sold in
accordance with the L /H /N redevelopment project plan.
At their January 27, 1981 planning commission meeting, the
planning commission passed the attached resolution finding the
sale of the residual
and policies of the
