assistant city attorney have worked together to reach a mutual
release agreement on the matter.

Council
vub]eCt: Authorization to legotiate Architectural
Agreement - Adams Hill Park
0 the applications for those funds are not due until December, the
The adopted 1979/84 Capital Improvement Program schedules
major redevelopment for Ada7as rill Park to take place in 1479 and
1980. Funding for this project includes $100,000 in fourth year
Community Development Block Grant monies and $250,000 in fifth year
Community Development Block Grant monies. Since adoption of the
Capital Improvement Program, and notification from the Department
of Housing and Urban Development that Community Development monies
have been cleared to use for the Adams Hill Park project, we are now
in a position to begin the procedure for development of this project.
In addition to this funding, we anticipate additional funding through
the Legislative Committee on Minnesota Resources (LCMR), although
planning process for park redevelopment may be initiated without
jeopardizing the LCMR funding.. A great deal of time is required
for neighborhood meetings and, development of plans and specifications
for a major park development. Having preliminary plans available
would be helpful in finalizing the LCMR grant application.
The first necessary action in the park planning process is
the negotiation of an agreement with an architect and/or park jr?„tS
planner for the design of the park building and facilities.
The park and recreation staff have met with several archi-
tectural firms, and has recommended to the city manager to execute
an agreement with Robin-Schwarz a joint venture, to design and pre-
pare working drawings and specifications for Adams Hill Park.
It is recommended that the city council concur with the
retaining of Robin-Schwarz to provide architect/park planning
services for Adams Hill Park project.

Council Members:
Subject: Nuisance Abatement and Ordinance Revision Relating
to Cedar Industries, 6311 Cedar Avenue South
t
At the September 24, 1979 city council meeting, the council
received a request from Mr. Mike Scherlinq of Cedar Industries,
6311 Cedar Avenue South, for an ordinance change to allow punch
presses of up to 150 ton rated capacity in industrial zoning dis-
tricts. The council also heard testimony from Dr. Blaine of the
adjacent Airport Pet Hospital about his concerns related to noise
and vibration nuisances posed by the existing operation of Cedar
Industries. At that time the city council requested the staff to
work with Cedar Industries and the Airport Pet Hospital to immedi-
ately abate the alleged nuisances posed by the operation of Cedar
Industries' heavy presses, while studying possibilities for an or-
dinance amendment.
In investigating this matter, the staff has found the following:
1. The Airport"Pet Hospital owners want the city to issue
an injunction to stop Cedar Industries' operation of
presses over 20 ton rated capacity, which are in vio-
lation of the city's zoning ordinance;
2. Cedar Industries have operated at their present loca-
tion prior to the Airport Pet Hospital being constructed.
They have operated at that site since the late 1950's,
and the city has no previous record of complaints about
Cedar Industries. They have, however, recently in-
creased their hours of operation to 2:00 am, which
appears to have precipitated the complaint from the
Airport Pet Hospital. Cedar Industries claims that
the wall of the Airport Pet Hospital abutting their
building is located over the property line, onto their
property, and that if the wall was moved back onto the
pet hospital property, the noise and vibration problem
would be solved. Mr. Scherling has also requested that
he be given the opportunity to speak. to the council on
this matter because he believes that he was not properly
informed of the city council meeting on September 24, 1979.

Council Letter No. 315 -2-
october 9, iy79
3. The staff does not have the equipment or expertise to
determine whether the design of the buildings causes
the noise and vibration complained of, and whether, or
what kind of, modifications can be made to solve these
problems. It appears that it will be necessary to
have a consultant conduct a study to determine what
measures should be taken to eliminate the noise and
vibration nuisances.
4. The exiting ordinance limiting punch presses to those
with a rated capacity to 20 tons or less was established
to minimize potential nuisances because of the limited
amount of industrially-zoned land in Richfield and its
close proximity to residential properties. To change
that ordinance standard now, to eliminate the problem
at Cedar Industries, without substituting proper per-
formance standards would be inappropriate because of
the potential negative effect on the community. It is
the feeling of the staff that larger presses could be
allowed if design measures were taken to protect sur-
rounding properties from noise and vibration. Further
study is necessary to determine if the existing ordin-
ance should be changed and what performance standards
should be incorporated into the ordinance to protect
• adjacent property owners.
It is the recommendation of the staff that the city council
take testimony from Mr. Scherling of Cedar Industries to insure that
all facts concerning thi-s matter are heard. It is also recommended
that the council urge Cedar Industries and the Airport Pet Hospital
to hire a consultant to study the noise and vibration problem, and
determine what measures may be taken to correct those problems and
what those corrective measures would cost.

Subjects: Purchase in Excess of $1,000
Chapter 6, Section 6.05 of the city charter stipulates that the
city council must approve the purchase of merchandise, :materials,
equipment or construction when the amount exceeds $1,000. There are
two such items on the October 9, 1979 city council agenda.
Fencing
The city staff has begun fencing the golf course perimeter. The
first area to be fenced is the Longfellow Avenue frontage road from
41 69th Street to the southern boundary of the golf course. The second
priority will be from the Longfellow Avenue frontage road along 66th
Street and include the gate across the main entrance drive at 66th
Street and Standish Avenue.
Three quotations have been received for this fencing and gate
material from Crowley Fence Company, Crown of Minnesota Inc., and
MCO Steel Fence Company. The low quotation to provide 3,000 lineal
feet of fence material, related rail posts and fittings, and the gate
material was received from Crowley Fence Company in the amount of
$9,200.
It is recommended that the city council approve the purchase of
fencing and gate materials from Crowley Fence Company in the total
amount of $9,200.
Liauid Carbon Dioxide
The municipal water treatment plant is presently undergoing
SOtue hiodif =ication in updating of various controls and a„ec11c.271 SMS
related to the water treat ^nt process. One of those it°^'s currently
being installed at the water treatment plant is a carbon dioxide
feeder unit. This unit would replace the current need to burn natural
gas under water, by injecting the carbon dioxide directly into the
treated water. This will lower our dependence on natural gas while

also minimizing repairs to the post softening equipment in the water
treatment process. Installation of the carbon dioxide feeder unit
is scheduled to be completed within the next week or so, and it is
necessary to obtain liquid carbon dioxide to initiate the operation
of the unit.
Two quotations have been received for the liquid carbon dioxide,
from Airco Industrial Gases, in the amount of $72 per ton, and from
Chemtron Corp., Cardex Division, in the amount of $41.93 per ton.
The Chemetron Corp. was awarded the bid to provide liquid carbon di-
oxide to the cities of Bloomington, St. Paul and Minneapolis, who
jointly bid for this commodity earlier. However, Chemetron has
agreed to provide the City of Richfield with liquid carbon dioxide
at the bid price. It is estimated that Richfield will need approxi-
mately 200 tons of liquid carbon dioxide for the first year's opera-
tion, making the total purchase price, based on the low bid of $41.93,
equal to $8,386.
It is recommended that the city council approve the purchase
of liquid carbon dioxide from Chemetron Corp., Cardex division, in
the total amount of $8,386.

This letter will help clarify our method of pricing for liquid carbon
dioxide.
All deliveries made on an open contract basis are priced at $ 195.00
per ton, unless their is a minimum guarantee, at which time the price
would correspond to our current price schedule.
On 7/5/79: the cities of Bloomington, St. Paul and 'Minneatxslis,
Minnesota entertained bids for liquid carbon dioxide estimated at
3165 tons per year, Card.ox was the low bidder with a bid of s 41.93
per ton to the cities of St. Paul and Bloomington and $ 43.63 per ton
to the city of P--linneapolis.
• Cardox is prepared to enter into an agreement with the city of Rich-
field, Minnesota for a one year supply of liquid carbon dioxide at
our collective bid price of $ 41.93 per ton. If the city of Rich-
field. must entertain for seperate bids for liquid carbon dioxide,
then they can expect to receive a bid in the ? 50.00 per ton range,
just as the city of Bloomingten was paying, prior to collective
bidding.
We appreciate the opportunity to discuss our method of pricing and look
forward to working with you on this program.

Subject: Execution of Perpetual Easement Purchase Agreement
with Kentucky Fried Chicken National Management
Company for Lyndale Avenue Project
On April 9, 1979, the city council established just compensation
in the amount of $16,000 for the permanent easement area on the Ken-
tucky Fried Chicken property. Kentucky Fried Chicken has recently
agreed to sell two easements for $17,700 granting a permanent ease-
ment and a temporary construction easement.
Although this figure is higher than just compensation, it does
include both easements and it is lower than the costs we would incur
by reaching a settlement through the condemnation process.
It is recommended that the attached resolution be adopted by
the city council authorizing the mayor and city manager to enter
into a purchase agreement with Kentucky Fried Chicken National
Management Company for "the purchase of easements in the amount of
$17,700.

There is an item on the October 9, 1979 city council agenda
providing for council discussion and designation of a firm to audit
the city's 1979 books. The annual financial audit for the City of
Richfield has been conducted for many years by Olson & Clough, with
the exception of one year in the early 1970's, when the state audit-
ors did the annual financial audit.
Olson and Clough have submitted a proposed agreement for 1979
auditing services, a copy of which is attached. Also attached is
a letter from Robert G. Engelhart & Co., which is officed in Burns-
ville, indicating an interest in discussing the possibility of pro-
viding audit services to the City of Richfield.
It is recommended that the city council discuss this matter at
their October 9, 1979 city council meeting.

AGREEMENT FOR AUDITING SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT, dated this day of 1979,
by and between the CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA, hereinafter referred

In consideration of their mutual covenants and agreements
as hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto contract and agree as

subsidiary records and supporting
documents as to:

significant.
r
II.
The examination shall also encompass the financial state-
ments of the City of Richfield Police Relief Association and the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Richfield for the same period.
III.
If circumstances disclosed by the audit call for a more
detailed investigation than would be necessary under ordinary cir-

Subject: Dedication of Public Property to the Lyndale
t Avenue Improvement Project
•
The pedestrian improvements to be constructed along Lyndale
Avenue in the L/H/N project area are being constructed within per-
petual easement areas granted to the city. With the easements, it
is possible to provide continuous sidewalks across all properties.
To meet federal requirements for continuous sidewalks, it is
necessary that the city dedicate an easement over, under, across and
through a portion of the Lyndale Avenue Liquor Store property at
65th and Lyndale, as indicated on the attached map. The improve-
ments to be installed next year are being coordinated with the liquor
store remodeling being completed this year. The property is presently
under public ownership, the easement is necessary to insure that the
improvements to be constructed thereon stay in public ownership,
regardless of who might own.the land at some future date.
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached reso-
lution dedicating this easement area to the city.

Subject: Resolution Regarding LOGIS Computer System
t Financing
The City of Richfield is a member of the local government in-
formation systems association (LOGIS), and uses the services of the
LOGIS system to render utility bills. The LOGIS organization is
comprised of numerous local government entities in the metropolitan
area who have joined together for purposes of -identifying common
information needs, and establishing information systems which would
address those needs.
Attached to this council letter is a resolution which would
support the LOGIS organization's acquisition of a new computer sys-
tem. This system acquisition is to be financed by issuance of in-
dustrial development revenue bonds through the City of Brooklyn
Center, and will involve no additional cost to the City of Richfield.
However, the firm from which the system is being acquired, Optimum
Systems, Inc., has requested that LOGIS member cities execute the
attached resolution which, in essence, indicates the city's intent
to use the computer system only through LOGIS, and to not release
any of the programs or documentation gained through the system to
anyone other than a member of LOGIS.
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
resolution.

RESOLUTION REGARDING LOGIS
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield, Minnesota, is a member of
Local Government Information Systems (LOGIS), a joint powers or-
ganization of local Minnesota government units formed pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.59, and
WHEREAS, LOGIS has entered into an agreement with Optimum Sys-
tems Incorporated (OSI), a California corporation, effective as of
August 23, 1978, and entitled "Local Government Management Informa-
tion System Agreement, Contract No. 2027" (hereinafter referred to
as the "contract"), whereunder LOGIS contracted to purchase from
OSI certain itens of computer hardware and software which, if ac-
cepted by LOGIS under the contract, will be employed by LOGIS for
the benefit of its members, including the City of Richfield, in
providing economical data processing services to the members of
LOGIS, and
WHEREAS, under the terms of the contract; particularly Section
4.01(a) thereof, each member of LOGIS is required to execute a writ-
ten statement, to be effective upon acceptance of the property under
the contract, which runs in favor of both LOGIS and OSI and which
embodies the terms and conditions of Paragraphs 4.01(c) thru 4.01(h)
of the contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Richfield, Minne-
sota, as follows:
1. (4.01(c)) The City acknowledges and agrees through-
out the duration of the contract that, as between

livered to it remain with OSI. The City further ac-
knowledges and agrees that the GEMUNIS/3000 System
and all components thereof, inclusive of the ideas
and expressions therein contained, are valuable trade
secrets and proprietary information of OSI, whether
or not any portion thereof is or may be validly copy-
righted or patented. The City covenants that it will
not make use of the GEMUNIS/3000 System, directly
or indirectly, for the benefit of any party which

2. (4.01(d)) The GEMUNIS/3000 System and all informa-
tion related thereto, in whatever form imparted to
LOGIS or the City by OSI in connection with OSI's
performance under the contract, will be deemed con-
fidential and proprietary to OSI, will be held in
trust and confidence by the City, and will be safe-
guarded by the City to the same extent that the City
safeguards its proprietary material, which in no
event will be less than that which a reasonably pru-
dent governmental unit would exercise under similar
circumstances. To those ends, the City agrees to
take reasonable steps necessary to ensure that the
GEMUNIS/3000 System and all information related there-
to are not made available by the City or by any of

steps necessary to ensure that all those above-
named individuals having access to the GEMUNIS/3000
System will observe and perform the obligations
hereby undertaken by the City.
3. (4.01(e)) LOGIS may modify any computer program
comprising the GEMUNIS/3000 System. All such modi-
fications will be deemed an amendment to the license
granted by the contract and subject to all of the
terms and conditions of said license, and, only for
the purposes of such license, those modifications
will be deemed a part of the GEMUNIS/3000 System as
defined in the contract.
4. (4.01(f)) The'City will reproduce and include OSI's
copyright notice wherever it appears on copies, in
whole or in part, in any form, including partial
copies and modifications, of the computer programs
and other materials comprising the GEMUNIS/3000
System, inclusive of, but not limited to, documents
and the manuals delivered under the contract.
5. (4.01(g)) To the extent that the City modifies any
document or manual delivered to it relating to the
GEMUNIS/3000 System pursuant to the contract, or
incorporates any information from a document or man-
ual delivered to it pursuant to the aforementioned
license into a publication originating with the City
for dissemination by the City, then, and in such
event, the City will first comply with the provisions
of Paragraph 4.01(f) of the contract, as embodied
in Paragraph 4 of this Resolution, and the City will
disseminate such document only to its agents, ser-
vants, or employees.
Resolution No. -3-
6. (4.01(h)) The City will indemnify and hold OSI
harmless against any losses, damages, costs, ex-
penses, claims, or actions resulting from or aris-
ing out of any use not authorized by the license
granted in the contract of the computer programs
and/or materials comprising the GEMUNIS/3000 Sys-
tem by the City, by any agent, servant, or employee
of the City, or by any other person who obtains
access through the City to the computer programs
and materials licensed to the City.
7. The City makes the foregoing covenants, which run
to the benefit of LOGIS and to OSI, in fulfillment
of the City's obligation under the contract, and
effective as of the date provided therein.

Council Members:
Subject: Establishment of Just Compensation, and Initiation
of Negotiations for Purchase of Lyndale Avenue
t Sidewalk and Landscape Easement Areas
Negotiations with Mark Ahlquist and representatives of the
Richfield State Agency have resulted in a modification of the loca-
tion of Lyndale Avenue pedestrian improvements adjacent to their
respective properties.
Mr. Ahlquist's property is located at 6439-65 Lyndale Avenue.
This property has elevations that have been difficult to incorporate
into our design plans; however, the staff and Mr. Ahlquist have
agreed upon a proposed final design for the improvements. A map
showing this design is attached. The legal description of the ease-
ment area needed to accomplish this design varies slightly from the
previous description on which just compensation was based. On May 14,
1979, the city council established just compensation for the neces-
sary easements on this property at $10,000. Janski and Associates
has examined the new ea"cement area and has valued it at $10,000.
Although the just compensation values are the same, the city council
is being requested to re-establish just compensation since the legal
description is different.
The proposed improvements to Lyndale Avenue adjacent to the Rich-
field Bank building at 66th and Lyndale were located within existing
city right-of-way. In discussions with representatives of the Rich-
field State Agency, they expressed a strong desire to incorporate
their existing sidewalk into an easement area. The existing side-
walk abutts the building, and could logically become a part of the
Lyndale sidewalk system. The property owner would be responsible
for maintenance of the easement area.
The project had not contemplated locating the sidewalk on pri-
vate property, and the project budget does not provide for purchase
of this easement area. The Richfield State Agency has indicated a
is

willingness to donate the easement to the city. However, federal
guidelines require that the city present an offer to purchase which
is based upon an appraisal of the property. This appraisal estab-
lishes just compensation at $25,500.
It is reconunended that the city council adopt the attached
resolution establishing just compensation and authorizing negotia-
tions for acquisition of the easement area from the Richfield State
Agency be adopted.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 306
Agenda October 9, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
l\?CiL _Fu G ,,,e Subject: Request for Special Use Permit, 6605 1st Avenue
Fe V. Alvarez has operated a beauty shop out of her residence,
located at 367 Apple Lane, for approximately four years. The beauty
shop was operated as a home occupation. Mrs. Alvarez obtained a
special use permit in 1975 to allow one part-time employee to assist
her in the operation of the beauty shop.
Mrs. Alvarez is now moving to 6605 1st Avenue and wishes to
continue the beauty shop operation at her new location. She is re-
questing a special use permit for a full-time beauty operator to
assist her in operation of the beauty shop at the new location.
The beauty shop will again be a home occupation and be conduc-
ted on the first floor of tale residence. Lo exterior changes are
proposed for the building. There will be two chairs and three hair
dryer stations, as well as a reception/waiting area. The residen-
tial portion of the building will be on the second floor. There is
presently off-street parking available for only one car.
The following items are attached to this council letter:
1. Floor Plan
2. Letter From Applicant
3. Zoning Map
4. Land Use Map
5. Petition and Map in Support of Proposal
6. Letter in Support of Proposal
7. Petition and Map Opposed to the Proposal
Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Section 3.29, Subdivision 14 of the zoning ordinance establishes
requirements for home occupations. Section 3.30, Subdivision 1, al-
lows home occupations in residence (R) districts, and Section 3.41,
Subdivision 5 requires that it be demonstrated that a proposed home
occupation not be detrimental to the public welfare.
4
Council Letter No. 306 -2- October 9, 1979
Staff Findings
The staff has reviewed this proposal and found the following:
1. No complaints were received concerning operation of the
beauty shop at 367 Apple Lane.
2. The site at 6605 1st Avenue is adjacent to a commercial
area.
3. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the site should be
developed for low density single family or two family
residential uses and for accessory uses compatible with
single or two family uses. Horne occupations, if conducted
within the requirements of the home occupation section of
the zoning ordinance, would be a compatible use with a
single family dwelling. It is the opinion of the staff,
however, that the proposal goes beyond a normal home
occupation, and would therefore not be in compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Home occupations can be detrimental to the community in
the following ways:
a. They can lead to a change in neighborhood character.
F?ome occupations introduce commercial uses into resi-
dential areas, thus changing a dominant residential
character to a partially commercial one. This can
alter the quiet, traffic patterns, parking, and ap-
pearance of the neighborhood, and can damage the
residential quality of an area and alter people's
perception and-enjoyment of their neighborhood. This
particular site is adjacent to a commercial area.
Area residents must already contend with noise, traf-
fic, and other problems because of the adjacent com-
mercial area. Further commercial encroachment into
the area can only compound those problems.
b. They can pose a nuisance to neighbors. Neighbors
can get annoyed because of some characteristic of the
home occupation use of the property such as noise,
heat, increased traffic, limited parking, odor, or
appearance. The primary problems associated with
this proposed home occupation will be increased
traffic and limited parking. Offstreet parking is
limited to one space, whereas six spaces should be
provided. Only one-half of the normal number of on-
street parking spaces are available because parking
is prohibited on the west side of this portion of
1st Avenue.
Council Letter No. 306 -3- October 9, 1979
C. Home occupations can increase public costs. As com-
mercial type uses are introduced into residential areas,
public services and facilities can become strained be-
cause they were designed to serve residential uses and
not commercial uses.
d. Home occupations may raise "equal protection" questions.
People who locate their businesses in commercial dis-
tricts have to absorb costs which home occupation busi-
nesses do not. Like uses should be treated alike to
avoid discrimination.
5. Adjacent neighbors to this property have expressed objec-
tions to the proposed home occupation. (See attached
petition)
6. The proposal goes beyond a normal home occupation. Substan-
tial improvements have been constructed in the structure
which raise questions of whether the home occupation will
truly be incidental to the residential use of the property.
Approximately 28% (521 square feet) of the area of the
dwelling (1880 square feet) will be used for the beauty
shop. Typical standards limit home occupations to 25% of
the area of the dwelling. The layout and design of the
beauty shop with reception, waiting, and rest room areas
reflect a primary land use rather than an accessory use.
It is the opinion of the staff that the business would be
better located in a commercial zone.
Staff Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the staff that the special use per-
mit for a full-time outside employee be denied in order to limit the
volume of the home occupation business and to minimize impact on the
surrounding neighborhood.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The planning commission recommends that the special use permit
be denied.

IT, Richard C crier
Planning Redev 9l oprent Director
City of Richfield
Dear Sir:
September 25, 1979
I regret that I cannot personally attend the Planning
Commission meeting scheduled for September 25th because of a
prior commitment, but I desire to express an opinion regarding
the request fa,: a special use permit by the owner of the property
at 6505 lst Ave, So.
As pastor of the Sou tx!view P^ptist Church which u,?-ns
property adjacent to the above mentioned property, I am familiar
with many of the circumstances surroundin; this request, As a
congreg a."tion, we have taken official action stating our agreement
with the request for a special use permit.
As an interested citizen and a ta.xp^ firer in the city of
Richfield, 1 would also like to speak in favor of granting the
special use permit for four reasons
1) I believe 1`_r. and !is. Alvarez to be people of honest
• and upstanding character who are hard working taxpayers presently
residing in Richfield. They are not outsiders seeking; to enter
the c ors iuni t,r
2) !Ws. Alvarez currently is operating a similar business
with equivalent facilities within a matter of blocks of this
location in Questions She has successfully operated this business
for several years and is not a novice to the SlttlatiOn of operating
a beauty shop in a residentipl setting,
3) The lst Avenue location was not previously used
exclusively as a private residence. A successful cabinet business,
including outside personnel, trucks and numerous vehicles regularly
in evidence, was operated during a prior ownership, The Alvarez
beauty shop at the sane location (even with one additional outside
employee) should not cause more stress on the neighborhood -than the
cabinet business, In r?ality, the purchase of the property by
t"r. and Ts. Alvarez and their attempt to brink; the building up to
city code and to seek openly to comply with city and state regulations
in the pursuit of their business, is a possible remedy to a piece
of property that has earned a reputation as a problem amcnj city
officials,

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 304
Agenda October 9, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Request for Variance, 6824 Penn Avenue
Elmer Sorensen, 6324 Penn Avenue, has applied for a variance
to reduce an established front yard setback of 45.3 feet to 39.3 feet.
This reduction is to permit construction of an addition to the exist-
ing building, which is located in an area zoned general commercial.
On January 25, 1966, the city council rezoned the property lo-
cated at 6824 Penn Avenue from residential to general commercial.
Since then, Mr. Sorensen has constructed the bicycle sales and ser-
vice building presently existing on the site. He now proposes to
enclose the existing front porch, thereby reducing the front yard
setback by 6 feet. Because 25% or more of the lots on this block
have a front yard setback greater than the normally required 40
feet, the required front yard setback is the average existing front
yard setback on the block. The average front yard setback for this
block is 47 feet.

Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Section 3.33, subdivision 6 of the zoning ordinance establishes
lot areas and yard requirements. Section 3.40, subdivision 6 estab-
lishes three conditions that must be met before a variance may be
granted.
Council Letter No. 304 -2- October 9, 1979
Staff Findings
The staff has reviewed Mr. Sorenson's variance request against
the three conditions that must be met for granting a variance and
found the following:
1. Except that the adjacent lots are zoned residential, there
are no special conditions affecting this particular property.
This is a typically-sized lot and is not significantly dif-
ferent from any other lot in the City of Richfield.
2. Denial of the application does not preclude the existing
property use. Although there are no alternatives for en-
closing the porch, the alternative of not enclosing the
porch and using the existing front stairway does still
exist.
3. The proposed addition would be an improvement to the appli-
cant's property and would not be detrimental to the public
welfare.
Staff Recommendation
While the proposal would not be detrimental the the public
welfare, staff recommends that the variance be denied because the
proposal does not meet the three conditions which must be met be-
fore a variance may be granted.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission recommends that the variance be granted.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 303
Agenda October 9, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Requests for Variances to Front yard Setback at
1717 East 66th Street and Rear Yard setback at
6601 17th Avenue South
Leonard H. Arndt, secretary-treasurer for Arndt, Erickson and
Teske, P.A., and Russell Auger, property owner, 6601 17th Avenue
South, have applied for setback variances to allow construction of
an addition to an existing dental office at 1717 East 66th Street.
The front yard variance would reduce the existing setback at 1717
East 66th Street from the established 20 feet to 7.5 feet. The
rear yard variance would reduce the required setback at 6601 17th
Avenue South, from 25 feet to 0 feet. The proposed addition is in
an area zoned C-3 (general commercial).
In September, 1970, Dr. Arndt purchased the property located
at 1717 East 66th Street for the purpose of practicing dentistry.
Since then, two other dentists have joined the practice. The dental
office is the only structure'on this block fronting 66th Street and
has a front yard setback of 20 feet. Because the front yard setback
of 20 feet is different from the normally required 40 foot setback,
the existing setback then becomes the required setback. The size of
this lot is 50.81 feet by 133.5 feet, or 6783.6 square feet. The
average size lot fronting 66th Street between Cedar and 15th Avenue
is 19,696.04 square feet. The average size lot in this area not
fronting 66th Street is 9975 square feet. The distance from the back
of the curb on 66th Street to the property line is 24 feet, which
will result in the proposed building being 31.5 feet to the street.
The rear yard variance is necessary because the proposed ad-
dition will protrude onto the adjacent lot located at 6601 17th
Avenue South. The zoning ordinance defines rear yard as: "a yard
extending across the full width of the lot and lying between the
rear line of the lot and the nearest line of the building_." This
will mean that once the building crosses a property line it becomes
a building on the adjacent property, and therefore a zero setback
condition exists. For this reason, a rear yard variance is required
to reduce the setback for the property at 6601 17th Avenue South to
zero feet. If the variances are granted, the dentists propose to
purchase the lot at 6601 17th Avenue South, and the existing family
single family home.

Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Section 3.33, Subdivision 6 of the zoning ordinance establishes
lot areas and yard requirements, and
Section 3.40, Subdivision 6, sets the three conditions which
must be met before a variance may be granted.
Staff Findings
The staff has reviewed the variance requests against the three
conditions which must be met before a variance may be granted, and
found the following:
1. Because of the relatively small size of this lot compared
to other commercially zoned lots within the city, and the
distance from the back of the curb on 66th Street to the
property line, there are special conditions affecting this
lot.
2. Denial of the variances will not preclude the existing
property use.
3. While the proposal would be an improvement to the appli-
cant's property, the rear yard variance, allowinq encroach-
ment on the lot at 6601 17th Avenue South, would create
a substandard lot because it would not meet minimum lot
area requirements. It is the opinion of the staff that
this would result in a negative effect on the neighbor-
hood. However, the reduction of the front yard setback
should not be detrimental to the public welfare because
sufficient distance will be maintained between the struc-
ture and the traveled roadway of 66th Street.
Staff Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the staff that the variances be
denied because the proposal does not meet the three conditions nec-
essary for granting a variance. However, if the variances are granted,
it should be stipulated that the dental firm purchase the lot at 6601
17th Avenue South, and resubdivide the 6601 17th Avenue South and
1717 East 66th Street properties into one lot.

Council Letter No. 303 -3- October 9, 1979
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission recommends that the variances be granted
with the stipulation that the dental firm purchase the lot at 5601

City of Richfield

Richfield, Minnesota 55423
To Whom It May Concern:
Herein you will find application for variance from setback
requirements for the adjoining lots of 1717 East 66th Street
and 6601 - 17th Avenue South. The variance from the front yard
setback requirement for 1717 East 66th Street would allow the
reduction of the front yard as established at twenty feet to
seven and one-half feet. This would allow construction of an
attatched structure to be used in conjunction as office space
to an established dental clinic. The variance from the rear
yard setback requirement for 6601 - 17th Avenue South would
reduce the existing dwelling rear yard'to five and one-half
feet instead of twenty-five feet as required by city ordinance.
This variance would allow additional parking for the dental
clinic. It would also allow the existing dwelling to remain
at 6601 - 17th Avenue South, therefore maintaining the resi-
dential character of the neighborhood. The additional space
in the dental clinic would allow the dental corporation of
Arndt, Erickson, Teske, P.A. to remain at 1717 East 66th Street,
where it has served its patients for the past eight years.
In the existing facility, there is only one treatment room for
each dentist. This situation causes problems when regularly
scheduled patients and nonscheduled patients are present in
the reception area at the same time. It requires the emergency
patient to wait for long periods of time before treatment can
be rendered. With the additional treatment space, waiting
time would be eliminated. This would better serve our patients
and would put less strain on our parking and waiting room
facilities.
The proposed design of the addition has been carefully studied
and will adequately meet our present and foreseeable future
needs. It is the only feasible addition that could he built
onto the existing structure, that would he efficient for the
practice of dentistry. A more linear design , which would
be within normal setback requirements, would not be useful
as a dental clinic.
Justification for granting the front yard setback variance is
due to the shallow depth of the lot at 1717 East 66th Street
and the lot at 6601 - 17th Avenue South. Most lots in our area
0
0
City of Richfield
August 31, 1979

are much deeper, which is readily noticed when looking at the
map that accompanies the enclosed neighborhood petition. Also,
the right of way from the center of 66th Street is much greater
in our area than it is even one block to the west of us. With
so little depth it is difficult to build a useful commercial
structure, even when two lots are being used.
The front yard setback that we are seeking will not be a visual
eyesore for the area. On the contrary, it would put the dental
clinic in line with the house and the garage at 6701 - 17th
Avenue South, therefore providing a more uniform setback appearance.
Justification for granting the rear yard setback variance for
6601 - 17th Avenue South is due to the desirability of main-
taining the residential character of the neighborhood. This
is important to our neighbors, who have given us much encouraging
support, because our plans would not remove the dwelling and
therefore commercialize the entire corner of 6601 - 17th Avenue
South.
The existing curb cut on 17th Avenue would provide sufficient
off street parking for the dwelling. Also, the side yard is
actually the yard space that is used more extensively at the
present time. The side yard has a redwood deck and attractive
planting inside of privacy fencing and would be adequate yard
space for future residents of the dwellinq.
The dwelling would be rented and the income would help to pay
for the financing of the dental expansion. Without this in-
come, the project could not be undertaken. Our neighbors have
been assured that we will be watching the house closely. Thev
feel confident that our non-absentee landlord status, as well
as our good maintenance record with our present property, will
assure proper upkeep of the rental property. We intend to ful-
fill their optimistic expectations.
We, at Arndt, Erickson, Teske, P.A., are proud to be practicinq
dentistry in Richfield, In granting these variance requests,
you will allow us to remain in east Richfield, where we will
continue to be good neighbors, while we serve the Richfield
areas dental care needs.
Sincerely,
Leonard H. Arndt, Secretary-Treasurer

Subject: Request to Solicit Bids, Air Warning
Siren Improvement Project (Phase II)
The 1979/80 public safety department includes an appropria-
tion for continuation of the Air Warning Siren Improvement Pro-
ject. The first phase of this project was completed this summer
with the addition and relocation of several of the city's warning
siren's in the central part of Richfield. The next portion of
this project scheduled for completion calls for the addition of
one siren and relocation of several existing sirens in the west
Richfield area.
The city has now received federal approval to initiate the
second phase of the program. Federal and state funds will re-
imburse the city for 75a of the project cost, which is estimated
to be $15,000.
It is the recommendation of the public safety director, in
which I concur, that the city council authorize the advertisement
for bids to implement Phase II of the siren warning improvement
project.

Subject: Recommendation for Denial of Taxicab
Drivers License
The city has received an application for a taxicab drivers
license from Mr. Buddie Lee Brandt. The background investigation
conducted by the public safety department with regard to this
license application reveals that the applicant has a past history
of numerous traffic violation convictions. In June, 1978, the
applicant was convicted of an alcohol-related driving offense.
In September, 1978, the applicant was convicted of driving after
revocation of his drivers license. As a result of these offenses,
the applicants drivers license was suspended in December, 1978
and just returned to him in February, 1979. As a policy, the
public safety department has used as a standard in approving app-
lications for taxicab drivers licenses a minimum of one years'
driving experience which is free from traffic violation con-
victions.
It is the opinion of the public safety director, in which I
concur, that the applicant's record of traffic violation convictions
relates directly to the license which he is seeking. Because of
this traffic violation conviction record, it is recommended that
the city council deny this application for a taxicab drivers license.
Respectfully submitted,
