08-27-79 agendaG U CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 262 Agenda August 27, 1979 IV ya- The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Amendment to Agreement Related to Under- grounding Utility Lines, 65th Street At the last city council meeting, the city council approved a request for a special. use permit, final development plan and off-street parking permit for the Phase I development of the Hub Shopping Center property. The council's approval included eight stipulations recommended by the staff, one of which provided that "United National Corporation would be responsible for any costs over $19,000 for undergrounding primary electric lines and for the cost of all service lines from the transformer to the build- ing, transformer pads, and transformer screening not paid by Northern States Power Company." Mr. Richard Naimen, representing United National Corporation at that meeting, indicated his concern with that stipulation. The council indicated to Mr. Naimen that some final resolution of that stipulation would be reached before September 13, since United National Corporation and Minnesota Federal Savings find themselves in a tight schedule due to the limited amount of the construction season remaining this year. Northern States Power Company has given the city a new cost of approximately $31,000 for undergrounding of the primary lines. This figure was generated by the actual cost accounting necessary to install the undergrounding as set out in the PUD plan, and is greatly in excess of the $19,000 estimate which Northern States Power provided to us two years ago to do the same work. Due to the fact that NSP feels a certain amount of responsibility to help resolve the impasse which has materialized, NSP has indicated their willingness to use the $19,000 original cost estimate, increased by only the inflation factor since the time the estimate was formulated. This results in a new figure of $24,000 which must be paid for by either the city or United National. The cost of the asphalting once the trench for the lines is dug is an addi- tional cost item which must be paid for by the two parties. This cost approximates $4,000. The city has previously made commitments to provide the full cost of the primary electrical service in the Hub development for the 1978 cost of $19,000. The secondary service line costs would be borne by United National Corporation. The staff has felt that Council Letter No. 262 -2- August 27, 1979 the additional costs to complete the work at this date results from delays caused by United National Corporation's failure to start the PUD plan implementation, and NSP's reluctance to proceed with the undergrounding. In addition, United National Corporation's delays associated with dedication of 65th Street easements have substantially increased the cost of completing City Project 705. This was the reason that the staff feels that United National Corporation should bear any cost in excess of $19,000 for under- grounding of the primary utility lines. The city staff has been discussing the current situation on undergrounding with all of the parties involved with the project. It is recognized that the city's original commitment for payment of all the primary costs of utility undergrounding in the amount of the 1978 cost estimates is a factor which should be considered. In addition, the undergrounding is being considered in Phase I, rather than in Phase 111, as originally proposed for the project. However, it is imperative to get the work done immediately since NSP's commitment to complete the work for $24,000 is only good for this year. At the same time, United National Corporation bears some responsibility, due to the time delays they have created in the project. For all of these reasons, it is felt that the $9,000 total additional cost for undergrounding in the project ($5,000 to NSP and $4,000 asphalting costs) should be evenly split between the two parties. The city would pick up $4,500 of the additional costs of the primary electrical undergrounding via modification to our original agreement with NSP. This would change the agreement to establish a new city maximum payment of $23,500 rather than $19,000. United National Corporation would pick up the additional $500 for the primary line undergrounding and the $4,000 cost for the asphalting. United National would perform the asphalting in accordance with the council-approved development schedule when they have asphaltic contractors in the area later this year. United National has agreed to this arrangement. This proposed resolution to the cost-sharing problem would serve to the benefit of both parties. The city would insure that the undergrounding would be done immediately, without additional costs mounting to complete the undergrounding. United National would be able to pursue immediately the development of the modified Phase I plan which includes the construction of the Minnesota Federal Savings and Loan building. Therefore, to resolve the issue, it is recommended that the city council approve the proposed agreement and modification to the NSP contract, increasing the city's contract amount from $19,000 to $23,500.

A diagram of the proposed sign and sketch of its location is attached. The chief building inspector has determined that the proposed sign would not meet city ordinance requirements, and has denied the sign permit. The applicant has requested an opportunity to appeal this sign permit application to the city council. • The staff is recommending that this sign permit be denied for the following reasons: 1. Section 3.47 (13) defines "business sign" as a sign that states the proper name of the business, organi- zation, or institution located on the premises on which the sign is located. Section 3.49, subdivision 9, stip- ulates that signs placed on property located adjacent to any freeway within the city shall be business signs advertising business being conducted on the premises on which the signs are located. It is the opinion of the chief building inspector that the proposed sign is not a business sign, and may, therefore, not be placed in the location for which the permit is sought.. 2. The proposed sign face is to read "Michelin". The Michelin tire product is one of several product lines carried by the Twin City Tire Company This sign appears to meet the definition of section 3.47 for "advertising signs", which means a sign of which the primary function is to draw attention to a product, service or activity that is sold or offered either elsewhere or upon the the premises where such sign is located. An advertising sign is defined by the ordinance as something separate from a "business sign". As noted, the sign ordinance specifies that only business signs may be located adjacent to a city freeway., The proposed sign is to be placed adjacent to Interstate 494, Council Letter No. 261 -2- August 27, 1979 next to the frontage road, near the back of the tire company lot. 3. The proposed sign is to be a pedestal sign. Chapter III, Part V, subdivision 3.47 (12) stipulates that a pedestal sign may advertise only the business located on the premises. 4. The proposed sign is to be located within 300 feet of an existing billboard sign. Subdivision 21 prohibits the issuance of a permit for an advertising sign which would be within 300 feet of any other such sign already in existence in the interior of the same city block. The existing billboard sign is within 300 feet of the proposed sign and is located west of Lyndale Avenue and north of the Market Drive/frontage road, just as the proposed sign would be located. It is recommended that the city council deny this requested sign permit.

Richfield, MN Dear Mr. Nollenberger: Attached please find drawings, photos and permit applications for an on-premise advertising sign for which we would like to obtain a permit. We have been informed by the building official that this sign will require a special city council permit under the procedure outiined in Subdivision 19 of the Sign Ordinance. A special permit is required since the building official • has classified the proposed sign as an advertising sign, reather than a business sign. Subdivision 9 of the Sign Ordinance provides that only business signs may be located on property adjacent to a freeway absent a special council permit. We therefore request that this matter be placed on the next available council agenda. Thank you for your consideration. Yours truly, NORDQUIST SIGN CO., INC. Richard A.

E;l - 47) Request for Approval of 1980-81 Community Health Services Plan Since 1977, the City of Richfield has received an annual state subsidy to help support our local health programs and activities. Approximately $75,000 is being received this year, enabling Rich- field to purchase personal health services from the City of Bloom- ington and to maintain our local environmental health programs. In order for the city to continue receiving the state subsidy, it is necessary for us to prepare a local Community Health Services • plan for 198(}-81 . The Advisory Board of Health and city staff have been working on development of this plan, which the Advisory Board approved at its August 16, 1979 meeting. A copy of the 1980-81 Community Health Services Plan is attached. This plan includes the following changes from the 1979 CHS Plan: 1. The amount of state subsidy requested is $80,108 for 1980 and $85,716 for 1981. The state CHS funding appropriation for the next biennium was renewed at a slightly higher level,, and Richfield's local expenditures for health services have also increased, raising our subsidy amount. 2. The personal health services to be provided through the contract with Bloomington are proposed to stay at the same level. The cost of the 1980 contract with Bloomington is estimated to be $86,400, which is $4,600 or 5.6% more than in 1979, for the same services. 3. The environmental health activity included in the 1980 plan has been expanded to include the city's emergency medical service programs. The state has determined that these programs are eligible activities to be included in the 1980 CHS Plan, although they were not premissible CHS activities in previous years. Since one factor in determining the subsidy which Rich- field will receive in future years is "local effort" inclusion of all eligible city activities in the CHS Plan could help increase the amount of state Council Letter No. 260 -2- August 27, 1979 subsidy that we will receive in the future. 4. The amount of city funds included in the 1980 plan is $149,343. These funds support the on-going environ- mental health, water treatment, animal control, and emergency medical programs of the city and do not provide for any expansion of these services. This local share also includes $5,500 for CHS administra- tion, which includes Advisory Board costs, as well as time of the Administrative Assistant and Environmental Health Director spent in administering the CHS activities. These monies do not represent a change in total city expenditures for health payments, but are rather an effort to accurately portray in the CHS Plan the extent of the city's support of the environ- mental and personal health services. • With some of the personnel and organization changes currently underway within the city, it is possible that expenditures for the activities described in the CHS Plan may change during the 1980-81 period. However, since such changes are unknown at this time, it is recommended that the city council adopt the attached resolution, authorizing submission of the 1980 Community Health Services Plan in application for a state subsidy.

Law Mayor ATTEST: Sylvia Bergh, Acting City Clerk 0 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Council Letter No. 258 Agenda August 27, 1979 -P ??la -? ?}-?Ld I Subject: Request for Alley Dedication 0-" ft-o" S -? A petition has been received seeking to dedicate to the city a private alley located off of 74th Street between Lyndale and Aldrich Avenues. This alley crosses several property lines, and services six of the eight properties to which it provides access. The alley is 200 feet long.. The alley has only a 9 foot curb cut, and 12 foot clearance near the curb, with the right-of- way narrowing back down to 12 feet between two of the garages. The surface is unpaved and in generally poor condition. • A review of the subject alley against the proposed alley dedication policy indicates that this alley fails to meet the recommended width requirements, fails to provide adequate room for maintenance equipment maneuvering, and fails to meet the surface paving requirements. Based on this policy review, it is the staff's recommendation that the city council deny the request to dedicate the private alley off of 74rd Street and Aldrich Avenue to the city. Planning Commission Recommendation The planning commission has recommended that the city council accept dedication of this alley, providing that the adjoining property owners provide the city with a survey of the property to be dedicated, and provide the city with marketable title to the property.

This request for alley dedication has prompted an analysis by the staff and the planning commission of city policies concerning alley dedications. At the August 13, 1979 city council meeting, the council requested the staff to develop a specific policy proposal pro- viding for the dedication of private alleys to the city. BACKGROUND There are eleven known private residential alleys in Richfield, • with a total length of approximately 2,000 feet. (Map attached.) Many of these alleys are simple easements across one property for access to one garage. The longest private alley provides access to 11 prop- erties, and is utilized by 8 dwelling units. All of these private alleys, except one, are deadends. In addition to the private resi- dential alleys, there are 6 private commercial alleys and 2 private institutional alleys. Most areas of Richfield, however, are not served by either private or public alleys. There are three main concerns raised by dedication of a private alley to the city: 1. Maintenance problems: Deadend alleys are very difficult to maintain because of the lack of space for maneuvering. Having to back out of an alley in a heavy snowstorm is a dangerous action that city equipment operators and management try to avoid. Despite their short length, these private alleys would take more than twice the time to plow as a through alley of the same length. 2. Increased Costs: While it is difficult to compute the addi- tional cost of adding a single alley to the city's maintenance program, any additional costs should be accompanied by the re- cognition that governmental levies are effectively frozen and that substantial reductions in revenue sharing funding are projected. This requires that all service levels be analyzed carefully in terms of fiscal impact, and that expenses for additional services must be balanced by cutbacks elsewhere. At a time when the high rate of inflation and the increasing uncertainity of funding challenges local governments to Council Letter No. 257 -2- August 27, 1979 preserve existing levels of service without increasing expen- ditures, any extension of service that does not increase revenues should be carefully weighed in terms of overall public benefit, as well as cost. 3. Setting aPrecedent: Since there have been no alley dedications in recent years, action to accept one alley dedication could set a precedent in future cases which could force the city to assume other private alleys. Do we want the increased respon- sibility for maintenance of alley stubs or private streets? Both the proposed Hub Shopping Center development and the Wood Lake School residential development will have private, community-type streets. Although there are only eleven private alleys in Richfield, there are numerous driveways shared by two or more private parties. If the city were to accept dedi- cation of private alleys, it might be difficult to refuse dedication of multi-use private drives or internal street systems. PROPOSED POLICY RELATED TO ALLEY DEDICATION In accordance with the council's direction, the staff has developed the following criteria to be used in evaluating the dedication of pri- vate ways for public use, ownership, and maintenance. These criteria seek to address the issues outlined above: 1. The private alley should cross more than one property. A roadway that provides access only to the users of a single property is an internal driveway, not an alley;. 2. The alley should provide access to at least SI pro- perties with at least six of those properties having made improvements, such as constructed a garage, substan- tiating regular use of the alley access; 3. The alley should be at least 150 feet long. An alley of shorter length would be similar to a private driveway, which is the responsibility of only one owner; 4. The alley should provide sufficient space for equipment maneuvering. Either the alley should connect to a street at both ends, or should have a circular radius of 30 feet or an "L" turnaround area sized 12 feet by 40 feet to enable a snowplow and emergency vehicles to turn around. An alley with smaller dimensions would not enable emergency or maint- enance equipment to turn around, making it necessary for suchvehicles to back out of the alley in the case of snow- plows, there would be no place to stack snow without infring- ing on private property, thus increasing the city's liability. The alternative is for the city to accept the dead-end alleys with the realization of the costs and problems connected therewith. 0 • Council Letter No. 257 -3- August 27, 1979 5. The alley should meet minimum engineering construction standards for width, clearance, base material, surface material, and drainage, or the petitioners must agree to accept responsibility for the costs of bringing the alley up to construction standards as a stipulation for its ded- ication. The alley should have a 12-foot paved surface centered in a 14-foot right-of-way. The surface should be six inches of concrete or two to two and one-half inches of asphalt, and the base should be six inches of class five gravel. Drainage must be adequate to prevent pooling. Narrower alleys would create the maneuverability restraints already described. The alternative is for the city to accept the alleys in their current construction condition, with the costs of the improvements in the future to be borne by the general taxpayer, if so required, or by special assessment. 6. All petitions for dedication of alleys must be accompanied by a legal survey statement and signatures of 100 per cent of all abutting property owners. 0 Respectfully submitted, Karl Nollenberger City Manager KN/jf ;. cc: Acting Public Works Director i • C y ¢ c - W 1 i-= 7:1 >..; ;.

An inspection of the site by the public works department indicates that the owner has complied with all terms of the off- street parking agreement.

The acting city clerk and project architect were also present at this bid opening. The bid minutes and tabulations are attached for city council re- view. The 1979 capital improvement program provides funding for these improvements, to include parking lot resurfacing, lighting, replacement of the existing facia, etc. Two bids were received for this project, one from Kloster-Madsen, Inc., Bloomington, in the amount of $89,133, and one from R. C. Dahlstrom, Inc. Golden Valley, in the amount of $107,900. The uncertainty of asphalt produc:i availability and pricing related to the parking lot resurfacing, appears to be a signifi- cant factor in the excess of the bids over the project budget. However, sufficient monies are available in the Special Revenue Fund to complete the project and it is, therefore, recommended that the city council award the contract for the Lyndale Liquor Store exterior improvements to the low bidder, Kloster-Madsen, Inc. in the amount of $89,133.

On June 5, 1979, the Hennepin County Board adopted a resolution approving, in concept, the establishment of a CAA, and directing • the suburban human service councils to develop a model for the CAA which is to be presented to the county board for their approvai in September. Attached to this council letter is a resolution providing for Richfield's support of the development of a CAA for the suburban area of Hennepin County, a mission statement describing the object- ives of a community action agency, a statement of need for a CAA in suburban Hennepin County, and the recommendations formed by the Human Services Councils with regard to the community action agencies. Basically, formation of a community action agency would provide for consolidation of many programs now delivered by diverse agencies to Suburban Hennepin County residents. The CAA would also qualify the suburban Hennepin County area for some additional federal fund- ing to deliver services to the poor and near poor persons residing in the suburban area of the county. The CAA would be primarily a contracting agency for services, rather than a service delivery agency itself. It is anticipated that the CAA would serve as a coordinator, relying heavily on existing human service councils to define programs, and identify program resources. Mr. Stricker's presentation will describe more fully the relationship between the proposed CAA, the municipalities, and the existing human service councils. Council Agenda It is recommended • tion, the city council ment of a CAA. for subu formation as described -2- August 27, 1979 that following Mr. Stricker's presenta- adc7pi, she resolution supporting develop- rban Hennepin County, and authorizing its in the attached recommendation.

This request reulted from recent legal action taken against several urban counties in other parts of the country and legislative changes in the Community Development Act. Over the past four years, the City of Richfield has received $971,887 in Community Development Grants. This money, which is more than ten percent of the total county Community Development Block Grant entitlement, has enabled the city to complete the following improvements: 1. Reconstruct Christian Park 2. Reconstruct Memorial Park 3. Reconstruct Fremont Park 4. Reconstruct Adams Hill Park 5. Improvements to Taft Park 6. Improvements to the Community Center 7. Construction of a water backwash system 8. Rehabilitation grants for moderate and low income residents 9. New Home Program 10. Comprehensive planning 11. Vo-Tech School rehabilitation In the next three years, the city plans to use an additional $990,000 in community development funds to undertake park improve- ments, make city buildings handicap accessible, complete street improvements in the L/H/N area, issue housing rehabilitations, con- Li.nue to do rehab projects with the Vo-Tech School, and for compre- hensive planning purposes. Many low and moderate income Richfield families have been able to retain their homes because of the monies provided to the city and Council Letter No. 253 -2- August 27, 1979 the programs supported by this grant. Many moderate income families have been able to buy a house in Richfield, and many neighborhoods have benefited from home repairs and from the re- moval of garage homes. The city has increased its qualifications to receive additional state and federal funds because of these housing program efforts, increasing our eligiblity rating from the Metro Council from 15 points to just over 63 points. The new agreement is somewhat more restrictive than past agree- ments, and will require considerably more grant reporting and con- formance monitoring than in the past. Nonetheless, the benefit to Richfield neighborhoods and residents of continuing with the Comm- unity Development program far outweigh the disadvantages of ex- ecuting the new joint cooperation agreement with Urban Hennepin County. The cities of St. Louis Park, Brooklyn Center, Edina and Brooklyn Park have already executed this new agreement. Recommendation It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the city manager to execute the attached agreement with Hennepin County.

Law, Mayor ATTEST: Sylvia Bergh, City Clerk CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager 0 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Council Letter No. 252 Agenda August 27, 1979 "A_,5_? 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 four such items on the August 27, 1979 city council agenda. Grass Seed and Fertilizer The staff is interested in supplying a different blend of blue- grass than that originally specified, in an effort to promote more rapid growth, a different growth pattern, and a more highly accept- able playing turf. Fertilizer high in phosphorous promotes the early maturation of the grass seed which is crucial to maintain the project seeding schedule and tentative opening for play by mid-summer of 1980. Written quotations to provide the seed and fertilizer have been received from O. M. Scott and Sons, Turf Supply Company, and El Mac Landscaping, Inc. It is recommended that the city council approve the low quotation, received from 0. M. Scott and Sons, for 40 bags of fertilizer and 5,110 pounds of bluegrass, in the total amount of $9,997.70. A requested change order for a reduction in the golf course project contract covering seeding and fertilizer will part- ially off-set this purchase. Herbicide Written quotations have been received from El Mac Landscaping, Inc., O.M. Scott and Sons and Turf Supply Company to provide herbi- cide to control weed growth in conjunction with the golf course seeding and landscaping. It is recommended that the city council approve the low quotation from Turf Supply Company, in the amount of $55.75 per gallon, for a total purchase price of $1,672.50. Overseeder As the golf course project progresses, the staff has been eval- uating needs for the site and facility. The city has received a Council Letter No. 252 -2- August 27, 1979 a quotation for a new Model 548 overseeder in the amount of $2,775. is However, the Sundance Golf Club has a used Model 548 Aero Blade Rogers Overseeder available for sale. This 1972 piece of equip- ment is in excellent condition and well meets our needs for the municipal golf course. Therefore, it is recommended that the city council approve the purchase of an overseeder from the Sundance Golf Club, in the amount of $1,500. Sprinkler System • This item provides for the purchase of materials necessary to install a sprinkler system as per plans on the east side of Lyndale Avenue from 65th Street to 66th Street, under City Project 742. Two informal quotations have been received for this equipment, from Western Irrigation, Inc. in the amount of $5,2G2; and from Milsco Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $4,978.42. The sprinkler system is to be installed by city crews. It is recommended that the city council approve the low quota- tion of Milsco Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $4,978.42, to provide this sprinkler apparatus.

Over recent years, there have been several city council discussions regarding the fire code, particularly in light of the fact that the code is 14 years old. Up to this time, however, the public safety department has been of the opinion that our code is somewhat more easily enforceable than other model fire prevention codes which the city might have adopted. During the last session of the Minnesota Legislature, a statute was passed making the provisions of the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code the minimal standard to be utilized by all governmental juris- dictions throughout the state. While this legislation did not re- quire adoption of the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code, it clearly speci- fied that no local code could be less restrictive in nature. This law became effective on July 1, 1979. oL1 Since the state has now established a uniform standard, it is the recommendation of the Public Safety Director, in which I concur, that the city council amend Richfield's existing fire prevention code to bring it into conformance with the Minnesota Uniform Fire Prevention Code. This is now the new statutorily required minimal standard which is to be utilized by local political subdivisions. The city attorney has prepared the necessary ordinance amendment to accomplish this change, a copy of which is attached. It is recommended that the city council give first reading approval to this ordinance amendment at the August 27, 1979 city council meeting. Respectfully submitted, / r Karl Nollenberger City Manager KN/eja cc: Public Safety Director Acting City Clerk City Attorney AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER III, PART I, SECTION 3.09.OF THE ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN: Chapter III, Part I, Section 3.09, Subdivision 1 of the Ordinance Code of the City of Richfield, Minnesota, relating to the adoption of certain fire prevention codes is hereby amended to read as follows: "3.09 FIRE PREVENTION CODE.
