Agenda August 13, 1979
The Honorable Mayor

Members of the City Council

Council Members:
Subject: Approval of Interior Remodeling Improvements
Lyndale Avenue Liquor Store
On June 11, 1979, the city council approved the plans and
authorized the advertisement for bids to undertake renovations of
the Lyndale Avenue liquor store exterior. There is $80,000 provided
in the 1979 capital improvement program budget to finance these
improvements.
At the time that the council approved the plans and specifica-
tions for the exterior remodeling, the council also directed the
staff to develop a proposal for renovation and remodeling of the
Lyndale store interior. There is an item on the August 13, 1979
city council agenda providing for council review of the preliminary
report on that proposed interior remodeling project.
Attached to this council letter is a preliminary list of the
improvements to be undertaken, and probable construction costs for
those improvements. The improvements are divided into four major
areas, which entails significant remodeling of the retail sales
area, including the installation of new carpeting, new check -out
counters, new wine and display cases, painting, tile replacement
in the vestibule area, and replacement of existing lights and
ceiling area. A second component of the proposed remodeling project
is to improve the office and lunchroom area, to meet existing health
and safety codes. This component would also include carpet replace-
ment, new wall covering, installation of new ceiling and light fix-
tures, etc. The third part of the project provides for modification
of the receiving and storage area in the exterior of the store. An
overhead delivery door would replace the existing swinging doors,
as an energy conservation matter, and areas for box storage and
employee lockers would be added. The final category of improve-
ments includes the general items of installing a first floor fire
sprinkler system and installation of a humidification system. The
total estimated cost for completing these improvements, including
a contingency and architectural fees, is $101,400.
The exterior improvements to the Lyndale liquor store are to
be completed this fall, with a tentative completion date scheduled
J
Council Letter No. 246 -2-
August 13, 1979
for early November, prior to the major holiday business period.
Because of the extensive nature of the interior improvements, it
will be difficult to begin and complete these improvements at the
same time that the exterior remodeling is taking place. If the
interior improvements were to be initiated this fall, much of the
store would be in a state of construction during the peak business
season from mid-November through the year end. For this reason,
it is my recommendation that the interior remodeling project be
deferred until early 1980. This recommendation is based on several
considerations:
1. The business disadvantages of having the store under
construction during the peak business season, as men-
tioned;
2. The necessity to further evaluate the architect's
preliminary report and schedule of proposed improve-
ments in operational terms, and priority of need as
related to expense;
3. The need to identify financial resources to support
the remodeling. The original 1979 capital improvement
budget contemplated that most of the improvement work
would focus on the outside, but that the $80,000
appropriation would be sufficient to cover at least
carpeting and painting in the interior of the store.
Because of increased costs since the capital improvement
budget was adopted, all of the $80,000 appropriation
will be necessary to finance the exterior improvements.
Bids will be received on August 23, 1979 and considered
by the city council at the August 27, 1979 city council
meeting. There is currently no funding appropriated
for a major interior remodeling such as that under
discussion;
4. The need to evaluate the proposed liquor store remodeling
in conjunction with all of the city's 1980 capital improve-
ment projects and to weigh funding alternatives for all
of those projects simultaneously.
The proposed 1980/86 capital improvement program is now being
developed by the staff, and it is anticipated that the proposed
program will be available for council review by October. Therefore,
I would recommend that the city council take action to approve the
preliminary architect's report, direct the staff to finalize the
components to be included in the improvement project, as well as
finalize the cost estimates, and direct the staff to develop a
proposed 1980 Lyndale liquor store interior improvement project
for council review in conjunction with review of the overall 1980
capital improvement budget.

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
three such items on the August 13, 1979 city council agenda.
Tot Lot Slides
The Nicollet Park 1979 minor improvement project provides for
construction of a play lot. The first bidding of the project exceed-
ed project costs primarily because of the slides to be provided in
the.play lot. The second bidding and subsequent award of contract
did not include the slides, because the staff felt that the slide
material could be purchased directly and installed by city crews for
much less cost.
Quotations to provide play lot slides have been solicited and
received. Several companies do not provide the spiral slide specif-
ied. Of those qualified bidders, -the lowest quotation received for
the spiral slide was submitted by Miracle's Jamison, in the amount of
$1,569 plus approximately $120 for shipping. The total purchase price
for the slides would be 51,689. Sufficient monies for this purchase
are avilable in the Nicollet Park construction project and it is,
therefore, recommended that the city council approve the purchase of
Nicollet Park slides in the amount of 51,689.
Crushed Limestone
The Wood Lake Nature Center has received grants from LAWCON
(Land and Water Conservation Fund) and LCMR (Legislative Commission
on Minnesota Resources) for the purpose of improving the trails at
the center. Quotations have been solicited from three firms for unit
prices on 1136 tons of 3/8 crushed limestone, delivered. The lowest
unit price quotation received for this purchase was submitted by
J. L. Shiely Co., in the amount of $4.40 per ton. The total purchase
price would be 54,998.40. Sufficient monies for this purchase are
available in the Wood Lake trail project and it is therefore recomm-
ended that the city council approve the purchase of crushed limestone
from J. L. Shiely Co. in the amount of 54,998.40.
L�
- Council Letter No. 245 -2- August 13, 1979
Fenc ing
As the golf course reaches the crucial seeding period, it is
necessary to fence the most accessible and critical areas of the
course to deter unauthorized motor vehicles, such as automobiles and
motorcycles from entering the area.
. Quotations were solicited from -three firms for a four foot, 9
gauge galvanized chain link fence including posts and top rail. Quo-
tations were submitted on a unit basis per lineal foot. The estimated
area to be fenced at this time is 3,500 feet, primarily along Long-
fellow Avenue south of 69th Street. City crews would be used in the
installation of the fencing.
The lowest quotation received for the purchase of fencing was
submitted by Crown of Minnesota, Inc. in the amount of $2.76 per
lineal foot. Sufficient monies are available in the golf course con-
struction project for this purchase and it is recommended that the city
council approve this purchase of fencing from Crown of Minnesota, Inc.
in the amount of $2.76 per lineal foot.

Council Members:
Subject: Tabulation of Rids, Minutes, and Award of
Contract for Improvements to Lift Station #4
On August 9, 1979, the city manager opened bids for renova-
tion and repair of lift station #4, in accordance with previous
city council authorization. The acting public works director,
planning and redevelopment director, engineer, and acting city
clerk were also present at that bid opening. The bid minutes
and tabulations are attached for council review.
The 1979 capital improvement program provides for renovation
of Lift Station No. 4, located at 74th Street and 14th Avenue.
The major components in this lift station are fully depreciated
and need major repair. The project for which bids have been
taken would provide for replacement of -the existing pumping mechan-
ism. The replacement pump would be a submersible type, which is
considerably more efficient than the existing pumping mechanism,
as well as easier to maintain and repair. The proposed pumping
equipment has the aesthetic advantage of being able to be placed
underground.
Two alternate bids were also requested. The first alter-
nate provided for a portable generator trailer mounted to be
used for auxiliary power at any of the four lift stations, in
case of power failure. The second alternate bid provided for
landscaping around the area. The landscaping of the lift station
area was proposed to complement the landscaping around the entire
ponding area which had been proposed as part of the Norby- Wilson
storm drainage improvement project.
Four bids were received for the lift station #4 improvement
work. The low bid was submitted by F. F. Jedlicki, Inc., in the
amount of $73,375. If the alternate bid for equipment were to
be considered, which provides for substitution of Fairbanks
Moorse pumps in place of Flyght pumps, the bid of Overdahl
Construction would be low bid, in the corrected base bid amount
of $72,100. However, based on the availability of Fairbanks
Moorse parts with a local distributor, it is the recommendation
of the acting public works director, in which I concur, that the
low base bid of $73,375, reflecting the specified equipment, be
awarded.
Council Letter No. 244 -2- Agenda August 13, 1979
It is further recommended that the alternate bids for the
mobile generator and the landscaping be rejected. The mobile
generator is a piece of equipment which could be added at a
future date, if it appears desirable. The landscaping plan
proposed in the bid specifications called for extensive land-
scaping which would essentially curtain the entire lift station
area, and would complement the proposed landscaping plan for
the overall pond improvements. Since development of these bid
specifications, the city council has taken action to delete the
pond landscaping project from any drainage improvements to be
undertaken in the area. Therefore, I believe that a modified
landscaping plan would be most appropriate for the lift station,
and would propose that such landscaping could be undertaken by
city crews, out of operating funds in subsequent years.
There is $42,000 appropriated from the sewer utility fund
for this project in the 1979 capital budget. Because the ordering
of pumps will delay implementation of the project until early
1980, and an additional $40,000 is anticipated in 1980 for lift
station improvements, sufficient funds will be available in the
1979 -80 combined capital improvement program to cover the cost
of the bid.
In summary, it is recommended that the city council award
the bid to F. F. Jedlicki, Inc. in the amount of $73,375, for
pump replacement and overall renovation of lift station #4.

Council Letter No. 243
Agenda August 13, 1979
17�pv ` '4 ca—aV?_.
Subject: Discussion of Parking and Traffic in Residential
Area North of Hub Shopping Center
_0_n_M_a__y_29, 1979, the city council directed the staff to
evaluate and develop a report on parking and traffic problems
in the East Pleasant Avenue - Pillsbury Avenue residential area
north of the Hub shopping center. A presentation of this staff
report is scheduled for the August 13, 1979 city council meeting.
The staff report relates to four specific options on which the
council requested additional information:
Proposal No. 1 - Grade Level Railroad Crossing at 63rd Street
The proposal to establish a grade level railroad crossing
at 63rd Street -is estimated to cost almost $8,_000, as shown in
the summary of Proposal No. 1 attached. This total does not
include right -of -way purchase. The acting public works director,
city attorney, and administrative assistant met with railway
company officials on July 23, 1979 to discuss this and several
of the other alternatives. The railroad representatives voiced
objections to the establishment of any additional grade level
crossings for two rea.s.onsc * every new grade level crossing
established is now required to have — a`-glugma- zed warning system;
(2) a grade crossing at either 63rd or 64th. Street would cross
two trac %s- one -of which is used in by -pass and switching opera-
tions, creating significant operational problems for the railroad.
Proposal No. 2 - Widening of 6300 and 6400 Block, East
Pleasant Avenue
The second proposal evaluated was the possibility,of_widening
the 6300 and 6400 block of East Pleasant Avenue to permit two
way traffic, with a parking lane. The attached cost breakdown
estimates for Proposal No. 2 show that the cost of widening East
Pleasant Avenue and making the associated intersection improve-
ments at East Pleasant Avenue and 64th Street would be approxi-
mately $45,260. This proposal would entail either purchasing of
additio al rigFit -of -way, to widen the street to the east, or
receiving an easement from the railroad company to use a portion
of their--right—of—way on the west for parking purposes. Costs
of purchasing right -of -way or easements are not included.

Council Letter No. 243 -2- Agenda August 13, 1979
Proposal No. 3 - Grade Level Railroad Crossing at 64th Street
The estimated cost of pro in the railroad crossing across
64th Street is approximatel $x,80 but since the railroad
company is unwilling to consi er establishment of grade level
crossings at either 63rd or 64th Street, this alternative
appears to be unfeasible.
Proposal No. 4 -_Reopening of Pillsbury Avenue at West 65th
Street
This proposal would provide for extension of Pillsbury
Avenue from the recently installed cul -de -sac southward to the
new 65th Street. The cul -de -sac on Pillsbury Avenue was estab-
lished as part of the L /H /N public improvement - -- plan- -, - -wh-i-ch ---was
approved by the city council, RING Committee and CIC Committee
after numerous meetings and public hearings with residents and
businesses of the area. The closing off of Pillsbury Avenue
was supported at that time by the residents in the area north of
65th Street, who had expressed concern with commercial traffic
in the area using Pillsbury Avenue as a "short -cut" out of the
Hub shopping center. However, when the cul -de -sac was actually
completed, the residents in the area became concerned with
the limited ingress and _egress _to their- homes. On May 29,_ -1979,
the city council reestablished East Pleasant Avenue for two -way
traffic, and eliminated on- street parking on East Pleasant.
the use of Pleasant Avenue for two way traffic flows, rather than
for one -way traffic, resolved most of the access problem, but
has created additional problems for residents _of___the apartment
buildings adjacent to Pleasant Avenue who had relied for addi-
tional parking space on the on- street parking. Accordingly, the.
city council has asked that the staff evaluate the possibility
of widening Pleasant Avenue in such a way as to permit both two -
way traffic and on- street parking. That possibility is described
as Proposal No. 2.
Reopening of Pillsbury Avenue at West 65th.St�zet ---i pGti-
mated to cost $9,490. Because of the continued possibility,
however, of commercial traffic using the residential area as a
short -cut, it is the recommendation of the staff that Pillsbury
Avenue remain cul -de -saced just north of West 65th Street.
If the council wishes to undertake changes to the traffic
pattern or parking in this area, the alternative that appears
most desirable to retain the residential character of the area
is that of widening East Pleasant Avenue to provide parking in
an easement area on railroad right of way. The railroad would
propose to grant the city a 15 -foot easement, which would provide
a parking lane and a buffer area behind the curb. The railroad
has also requested that the city construct a six -foot high
chainlink fence, four feet in back -of the proposed new curbline.

Council Letter No. 243 -3- Agenda August 13, 1979
If the city council wishes to pursue any of these alterna-
tives, it would be appropriate for the council to direct the
staff to develop a specific project plan with firm cost estimates,
and a financing proposal. The railway company has indicated a
willingness to consider a formal proposal for an easement along
their right -of -way from the city, and it would be necessary for
the city council to authorize the staff to develop a proposal
requesting granting of the easement as described in this letter.

Council Letter No. 242
Agenda August 13, 1979
Subject: Discussion of Lease Agreement With Richfield
School District for Central School Office Space
There is an item on the August 13, 1979 city council agenda
providing for council discussion of the lease agreement with the
Richfield School District for use of office space in the Central
School building.
Since May, 197b, the Richfield Youth Employment Service has
leased office space from the Richfield School District in the former
Central Elementary School building. The lease arrangement between
the city and the school district from May, 1978 to June, 19/9 pro -
vided for a monthly rental rate of $176.25. The school district
has recently advised us that the proposed lease agreement for July
1, 19'/9 through June 30, 1980 for this office space provides for
a monthly rent of $206.25, which represents a $30 per month increase
over the previous rental rate. The annual rental increase amounts
to 5360 for a 17% increase.
This item is placed on the council agenda for discussion.
It is recommended that the item be referred to the joint facilities
committee for consideration in light of usage fees for all city and
school facilities.

Agenda August 1j, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Discussion of Preliminary Studies of Edina/
Richfield Storm Water Drainage
On July 23, 1979, the city council reviewed a preliminary
report on the Edina /Richfield storm water drainage study. A copy
of the council letter and summary of the report which was forwarded
to the council at that time is attached for your review.
After the council's discussion on July 23, 1979, a question was
raised regarding the possibility of the city establishing a special
storm sewer improvement tax district. The council requested that
the city attorney investigate this matter and develop a response
for council review at the August 13, "979 city council meeting. A
copy of Mr. LeFevere's response is attached. In summary, it is his
conclusion that Richfield would find it difficult to create a separate
storm sewer improvement tax district, since most of the city's storm
sewers have been completed. If the city were to seek to establish
such a district, it would require special legislation. Furthermore,
there is no provision for a municipality to levy a tax against
properties outside the municipality.
If the council wants to proceed further with any of the improve-
ments described in this report, it is recommended that the following
actions be taken:
69th and Xerxes
1. Concur with, and encourage Edina's intent to raise
69th Street east of York Avenue;
2. Direct the staff to develop plans to increase the catch
basin capacity on Xerxes Avenue between 69th Street
and 70th Street;
3. Direct staff to discuss flood proofing improvements
with the private owners of the three homes affected
by flooding problems in this area.
V
Council Letter No. 241 -2- August 1.i, 1979
Adams Hill
1. Direct staff to pursue planning for a permanent
pumping facility with Edina officials for a long term
solution, and to incorporate the long term plans and
immediate improvement in the outfall and erosion units
into the Adams Hill park planning process.
66th and Xerxes
1. Adopt a resolution encouraging Hennepin County to con-
sider the participation with the cities of Richfield
and Edina in resolving the flooding problems associated
with this intersection.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 223
Agenda July 23, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Discussion of Preliminary Studies Regarding
Edina /Richfield Storm Water Drainage
Last fall, the Richfield city council requested that a study
be undertaken to identify alternative methods for improving the
.storm water drainage at several locations along the Edina /Richfield
N rborder. A joint committee, comprised of representative council
;r< members, the city manager, and public works personnel from both
.,the City of Edina and the City of Richfield was directed to identify
methods to improve drainage capacities at Xerxes Avenue and West 66th
Street; Xerxes Avenue and West 69th Street; and the Washburn Avenue
- section of West 76th Street. The result of that Committee's
deliberations to date has been finalized in the form of a very
tentative engineering report, which was _sent to council members
earlier this spring. A summary of that report is attached, along
with an explanatory letter from.Orr- Schelen - Mayeron & Associates,
Inc., Richfield's consulting engineers who have been working with
the committee on this study.
There is an item on the July 23, 1979 city council agenda
providing for council discussion of this report. Richfield resi-
dents who have previously expressed a concern with the drainage
problems along the Edina /Richfield border have been notified that
the city council will be reviewing the preliminary engineering
report at this.time. Representatives of Orr- Schelen- Mayoran will
be present at that council meeting to summarize the findings of
the report.
The solutions identified to resolve the major storm water
drainage problems along the contiguous Edina /Richfield border
are estimated to cost between $725,000 and $1,135,000. The
preliminary report identified the following measures which were
studied in each of the three major problem areas:
69th Street and Xerxes Avenue
.� Three measures were studied for the 69th Street and Xerxes
Avenue area:
_ 1. The surface grade elevation of West 69th Street be
raised to slope from Xerxes to York Avenue, in Edina.
Council Letter No. 223' 2 Agenda.July 23, 1979
This would decrease the flows into Richfield from the
69th and York Avenue portion of Southdale.
2. Increase the catch basin capacities in the low area
adjacent to 6950 Xerxes Avenue. Additional catch
basins can be designed for this area that would result
in faster, and more efficient, drainage from the street
pavement.
3. Floodproof three Richfield homes. .One house fronts
on Xerxes Avenue and the others face easterly on Washburn
Avenue.
The engineering consultants believe that more than two - thirds
of the water in this area originates from the City of Edina. The
cost to implement the above drainage improvements is estimated
to be $85,000. The report suggests that the City of Richfield
make the necessary street inlet improvements in the Xerxes Avenue
right -of -way, that the City of Edina raise West 69th Street, and
that the homeowners in Richfield undertake whatever floodproofing
measures they may wish'to do to their properties.
Adams Hill Pond
z`
Although the Adams Hill Pond presently functions adequately,
Y.
flooding e
crea
as no
Nand has td fldi
g to nearby properties, further im-
.,provements to drainage,in the 70th Street areas of Xerxes and York
Avenues will add more water to this pond. Adams Hill Pond is land -
locked, with no permanent outflow. Flood condition discharges now
C must be handled with a portable pump that must be set up at.the
site. This is an unreliable method of pumping water from this
;pond, and the only reliable means of excess water removal would
..be a permanent pump station. The cost of such a permanent pumping
facility is estimated to be $210,000 to $280,000.
•Xerxes Avenue and West'66th'Street
Of the three areas, the intersection of Xerxes Avenue and
West 66th Street is most Likely to flood during minimally inten-
sive rainstorms. Although street flooding has and can be expected
3.
without any drainage modifications to occur two to three times
each summer at this location, rainstorms of the August 30, 1977
variety can cause the water to build until it flows over the alley
approach'to Washburn Avenue from 66th Street. The resultant build -up
in the alley paralleling 66th Street between Washburn and Vincent
Avenues can amount to three to four feet of water.

•
This is the most difficult area to address because substantial
investments would be necessary to solve the current problem. One
approach ,would be to enlarge the sewers flowing to Sheridan Pond
and Lake 'Cornelia in Edina. However, both of these areas are
presently only marginally equipped to contain the amount of water
such as that experienced in the three major rainstorms during the
past two summers. Significant grading and filling work would be
required at one, or possibly both ponds, and a large (60 to 72 inch)
sewer would be necessary from 66th and Xerxes to Sheridan or Lake
Cornelia ponds. The coast of these sewers is estimated to range
r 5 from $510,000. to $665,0:00.

~ Council Letter No. 223 -3- Agenda July 23, 1979
As the committee's report outlines, the expenditures required
to adequately address the" Xerxes /66th Street problem do not appear
to be warranted. The area of land that would benefit from this
construction could not affort the necessary assessments and the
overall public benefit is insufficient to warrant general fund
support of the project. Therefore, the committee recommends that
the two cities approach Hennepin County to incorporate these drain-
age improvements into an overall plan of upgrading West 66th Street
from Xerxes to France Avenue, and along the north side of the South-
dale Shopping Center.
From an engineering standpoint, it appears that the recommenda-
tions outlined appear to be a feasible means for addressing drainage
problems in the Edina /Richfield border area. That is, these steps
outlined, if- implemented, would result in improved drainage in each
of these locations.
However, the means of financing these improvements, as well as
implementing the improvements, are questions that can only be resolved
by the city councils of the two communities.. Because these improve -
ments are quite expensive, and.because they would provide drainage
benefits to only a very few properties, the only feasible way to fin-
', ance any extensive improvements would be by way of special assess -,
ment. It should also be noted that the improvements disucssed in the
°tatx report are separate from, and in addition to, any drainage improvements
which the city might undertake in other areas of the city, such as
those being studied in the.Norby- Wilson Pond areas.
There are several areas of concern that need to be further
addressed before Richfield will be in a position•to make a determina-
tion regarding proceeding with any of the improvements described in
this report. If the city council wishes to proceed with further study
of these improvements, it would be appropriate for the council to
direct the staff to meet with the Edina staff to develop specific
project proposals and to negotiate a cost sharing arrangement to be
used in undertaking any of the improvements. I would anticipate that
some of this specific information could be refined for additional
council consideration by this fall.

Re: Edina - Richfield Border Area
Study of Storm Water Problems
Gentlemen:
Attached are excerpted sheets for the joint study performed
on Edina- Richfield Boundary Area drainage problem.
The recommendation as contained in the report are
attached.. The updated status of the recommendation is
69th & Xerxes Area
Flooding at 69th and York in Edina.
The City of Edina is pursuing the regrading of. 69th Street
just easterly of York to prevent flooding'by surface flowby.
Remedial action should be.completed this-construction season.
The capacity of existing catch basins located on Xerxes
between-69th and 70th should be increased to maximize flow
to'the existing storm drain system. In conjunction with the
work in Xerxes, the construction of a new catch basin and
inlet, with a flap gate to prevent backflow, is required in
the alley between Xerxes. and Washburn. The City Council
should authorize preparation of plans and specifications
for these improvements.
The affected residents along Xerxes and Washburn should.be
advised that the proposed improvements will reduce the
frequency and severity of flooding but will not totally
eliminate the potential. Individual flood proofing to approx-
imately 3 foot above the alley surface will be required.
Adams Hill Pond Area
Adequate provisions for storm water control can be made
in Adams Hill Pond. TThe questions to be decided relate
to the pump and force main size necessary to meet inflow

conditions, ponding needs and park requirements when con-
sidering downstream constraints. To proceed further, pre-
liminary engineering plans should be developed to determine
specifics of a potential project. The immediate step would
be an agreement between Edina and Richfield to initiate and
share the costs of such preliminary plan preparation. 'The
plans could be prepared by the engineering staffs of either
city and submitted along with estimated project cost and
potential cost sharing proposals to the other city.
66th and Xerxes Area
The three-agencies, namely Richfield, Edina and Hennepin
County, having jurisdiction within problem area located at
66th and Xerxes have met and discussed the problem and solu-
tions as outlined in the report. There are no existing
improvements proposed by any of the involved agencies that
would benefit the storm drainage in the area. There is no
solution available at reasonable costs that can be imple-
mented 'solely by Richfield.
The course of action at this time seems to be toward a •
political or policy level decision by all three involved
agencies to establish that the currently existing flood
C= conditions at this intersection are perceived as a high
priority problem. It must be decided that all three political
bodies, supported by their respective engineering staffs, are
committed to finding and funding a solution. This joint
commitment will provide for scheduling of the project in
future construction programs to insure implementation.
The first step toward. this commitment could be made by the
City of Richfield by expressing their resolution that a
solution is necessary :by expressing their commitment toward
participation in the cost of a solution and by identifying a
funding source from which potential participating costs will
be paid. That commitment would then be transmitted to the
other two agencies requesting action.
Upon council direction, we will provide such data or pre-
liminary plans for any of the actions listed above. We
thank you for the opportunity to be of service.

The following recorTendations.are made by the engineering advisors
regarding the three drainage problem areas studied along the Edina - Richfield
boundary. These areas are outlined in the memorandum of March 13, 1979,
submitted to the Edina - Richfield Storm Drainage Committee.
1. 69th and Xerxes
It is our recommendation that the following changes be made at
this location:
a. Prevent the flow -by at 69th Street and York Avenue by
raising 69th'-.Street east of York Avenue.
b. Increase catch basin capacity at Xerxes Avenue between
69th Street and 70th Street.
C. Floodproof 3 homes.
Estimated Construction Cost - $85,000
2. Adams Hill Pond
It is our recommendation that a permanent pumping facility be con-
structed at Adams hill Pond. This would also require a new force--a
to the proposed pond in Edina. A detailed study will be required
to determine the flood levels, outlet capacity, and the effect on
existing downstream facilities.
Estimated Construction Cost - $210,000- $350,000
3. 66th and Xerxes Area
Due to the high cost and severe downstream problems of constructing
a drainage system which will provide the design — level -b f protecticn
for the 66th and Xerxes area, the engineering advisors do not have
a recommendation for the Drainage Committee regarding this problem
area. We suggest that prior to consideration of any of the three
alternatives, Hennepin County should be contacted for possible
financial participation for the solution of the drainage problems
in this area.
Estimated Construction Cost - $430,000 - $700,000

Dear Mr. Nollenberger:
TELEPHONE
(612)'333-OS43
I am enclosing a copy of the statute which was enacted for
the benefit of Golden Valley and Plymouth and which was dis-
cussed briefly at the council meeting Monday night.
The statute refers to Section 444.17 et seq. I am therefore
also enclosing a copy of those sections, i. e. Sections 444.16
through 444.21. These sections provide for the creation of
• separate storm sewer improvement tax districts. Richfield
has not created such districts in the past and I believe that
it would be difficult to do so now with most of the storm
sewers completed. Plymouth has several watersheds within
the city boundaries and is expecting to create separate
taxing districts for each of the various watershed districts.
The legislation would permit:an ad valorem tax levy in a
district to finance storm sewer construction. A tax levy
for the payment of bonds issued to make storm sewer improve -
r:;: ments in a district formerly could be made only after a
contract for the construction of storm sewer improvements
within the district had been entered into. The new legis-
lation applicable to Plymouth and Golden Valley would permit
tax levies to be made before the improvements have been under-
taken. The proceeds of such a special tax levy can be placed
in a reserve which can be accumulated for the purpose of
making improvements within the district. The tax levies are
outside the tax levy limits imposed upon municipalities by
general law (MN Statutes §275.50, Subdivision 5, Clause [el).
A project of some kind must be entered into within one year
after the date of adoption of the capital improvement program
and the reserve fund tax levy.
The ad valorem tax levies which the statute authorizes can
be made only within the storm sewer tax district, as you will
see from Section 444.17. The district must be within the
corporate limits of the municipality. Thus, there is no
'LAW OFFICES '

opportunity, under these laws, for a municipality to levy
a tax against properties outside the municipality. In fact,
the statute contemplates a tax levy within only a portion of
the municipality, i.'e. the special district.
I should be happy to ',provide you with further information on
these matters if you 'would like to have me do so.
Very truly yours,

Council Letter No. 240
Agenda August 13, "1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Amendment to Ordinance Code Relating
to Gambling, Second Reading
� 2n1
There is an item scheduled on the August 1:3, 1979 city agenda
providing for the council to give second reading consideration to
an ordinance amendment which would provide for the conduct of certain
gambling activities by non - profit organizations. The attached ordin-
ance amendment was developed by the city attorney in response to a
request from the Richfield American Legion and VFW that the city
adopt an ordinance which would enable certain types of gambling activ-
ities to be conducted by those organizations.
Chapter 5.u7 of the 1978 Minnesota Laws amended the statute
relating to gambling devices. That legislation authorized city
councils to adopt local ordinances which would permit some forms of
gambling to be used by non - profit organizations in fund raising. The
ordinance amendment which is before the city council at this time
would meet the requirements of Chapter 5.07, and would also integrate
the new licensed activity with the regulation of bingo in existing
city ordinance.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
• Council Letter No. 239
Agenda August 13, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Discussion of Framework for Negotiating
1980 Labor Contracts
The purpose of this council letter is to provide background
and establish a climate for upcoming labor contract negotiations
with the organized employee groups which have contracts expiring
December 31, 1979.
Background
• Labor contracts with three of the four organized employee
groups in Richfield will expire in December: IUOE Local 49 AFL-
CIO, Police Officers Federation, Police Supervisory Association.
The basic contract with the Local 1215, representing the
firefighters will not expire until December of 1980, although
there is a provision for 1980 wages to be established based
upon the wages set in six comparable communities.
The current contract with Local 49, which represents public
works and park maintenance personnel, is a three -year contract
that will expire in December, 1979. That agreement includes a
master contract, which is negotiated on a multi - employer basis
and provides a degree of continuity among many of the economic
issues. In addition to the master agreement, each city is respon-
sible for negotiating issues of local concern that are not
covered in that agreement. There are presently nine local issues
which the city must negotiate with that bargaining group.
The Police Officers Federation and the Police Supervisory
Association will be completing the second year of a two -year
agreement in December. Unlike 1979, where salaries and insurance
were the only two matters open for negotiation, the entire con-
tracts with these groups will be open for renegotiation for 1980.
It is anticipated that this will be an especially tough
year for the city in negotiations with all bargaining groups,
since the current rate of inflation is running nearly 13 %. The
wage issue, along with the fact that three contracts will be
completely reopened for negotiation, combine to make the 1980
labor negotiations process extremely complex.
+Council Letter No. 239
-2-
August 13, 1979
Since passage of the Public Employee Labor Relations Act in
• 1971, the city has conducted most negotiations internally, although
turnover in the Personnel Division required that a consultant and
the Public Safety Director be utilized for negotiation purposes
in 1976 and again in 1978, to provide a certain degree of con-
tinuity. Most negotiations in other years have been handled on
an internal basis; with a professional being available to provide
assistance to the staff in the highly technical and legal areas.
The city council is prohibited from having closed sessions
-to discuss strategy for labor relations. In order to get the
policy - making body's input, the role of a council liaison with
the city manager was utilized in previous negotiations.
Recommended Strategy
There is an item on the August 13, 1979 city council agenda
requesting the city council to take the following actions:
1. Designate a council liaison for labor negotiation
,purposes to work with the city manager during negotiations.
2, Authorize the city manager to appoint a negotiation
team
3, Authorize utilization of an outside labor relations
• ex_ rt .gas a resource in .legal_ . az,.d highly technical
areas which. may -a.ri.se during the negotiation process.
11
By util..iizi_abq this procedure e T believe that the labor nego•
ti_ations are more-likely -c_o be constructive, and that some of
the "end run" techniques.around the management staff used by
some unions.i.n the past cn be prevented, This type of structure
also provides a:united.management team; which is essential in
the labor negotiation process.

On February 12, 1979, the city council approved a preliminary
plat, PUD plan and rezoning for the Hub /Summit /Penny's PUD. The
PUD plan indicated that development would be completed in four
phases, with each property owner responsible for improvements to be
• undertaken on their.propertyo On June 25, 1979, the city council
approved the final development plan, special use permit, and off -,
street park-_ng permit for the Phase T improvements on the Summit
Bank property. United National Corporation is now requesting
city council approval of a final development plan, special use per-
mit, and off - street parking permit to allow them to complete Phase
T site and building improvement work on their property.
Proposal
Site improvements which United National Corporation are propos-
ing to construct in this phase include the following:
� "1. The parking lot north of the vacated 65th Street will
be overlaid with one and one -half inch bituminous sur-
face. The existing bituminous surface in the area west
of the Summit Bank facility will be removed and replaced
with new two and one -half inch bituminous surface. The
remainder of the north parking lot will be sealcoated.
,"2. The north parking lot will be striped as indicated on
the plan.
3. Concrete perimeter curbing will be provided along the
north and east sides of the north parking lot. Temporary
pre -cast curbs will be provided along the west side of

parking lot and one existing light standard will be
removed.
6. New landscaping on the site in this phase will consist
of sod in the area of the Pillsbury -65th Street inter-

stipulations which were agreed to by the developer. ^lie developer,
United National Corporation, was to incorporate these stipulations
in the final development plan. The council's stipulations are:

and move traffic in accordance with design standards of
the city and county. All driving aisles and access must
be dimensioned on the plan;
3. That new signs must conform to the Lyndale /Hub /Nicollet
Urban Design Guidelines as adopted by the city council;
4. That, if within the United National Corporation parkinq.lot,

Council Letter No. 238 -4-
August 13, 1979
6. That the City of Richfield be responsible for moving
• fire hydrants on and along 65th Street no greater than
a distance of 100 feet. Any additional cost in the
relocation of the fire hydrants is borne by United
National Corporation, Summit or Pennys. The city makes
this commitment based only on reasonable fore - notice to
do the work;
Y. That a handicap ramp be provided on the rear office
entrance area;
8. That a fire hydrant be placed between the financial
institution and the Hub Mall addition. This fire hydrant
is shown on Phase III, but does not appear on the attached
plan;
90 That a five -foot sidewalk be constructed on either side
of the proposed financial building.
Staff Findings
The staff has reviewed the proposal and found the following:
1. The proposed final development plan is in substantial
compliance with the PUD Plan previously approved by the
city council. The applicant will be constructing the
financial institution building in Phase I rather than
Phase Il and will not be constructing a restaurant, orig-
inally proposed in Phase I, until a later phase,
20 The PUD Plan stipulations will be met as follows:
a., The plan conforms to the urban design guidelines
b. All new signs will conform to the urban design
guidelines.
C. Perimeter curbing has been provided in all areas
except along the north boundary of the north parking
lot. However, cars will hang onto the public right -
of -way. This concept was approved as part of the
PUD plan and 65th Street dedication. United National
Corporation must be responsible for replacement of
any damaged city property along 65th Street.
d. One transformer pad will be constructed in Phase I,
which will be screened and protected with a 5 -foot
brick wall. The city has agreed to pay a maximum
Of $19,000 for undergrounding the primary electrical
lines serving the Summit Bank, Doctor's Building,
Mobile Oil, and the Hub. United National Corporation
and Summit Bank will be responsible for any costs
above $19,000 and for the cost of service lines from
the transformer pads to the building and screening.
However, United National Corporation feels that they
do not have any obligation for costs above $19,000
until Phase III of the PUD Plan is implemented.
Council Letter No. 238 -5-
August 13, 1979
e. The hydrants will be relocated no more than 100 feet
f. A handicap ramp has been provided in the rear office
• area.
g. A hydrant has been provided between the financial
institution and the Hub Mall addition. z
h. Five toot sidewalks will be provided on the north
and south sides of the proposed financial institution.
3. The development will not meet the following off - street
parking standards:
a. Eighteen foot deep parking stalls, instead of 24-foot
deep stalls are indicated along 65th Street, Pills-
bury Avenue, adjacent to the Summit Bank property,
adjacent to the financial institution, and adjacent
to the driving aisle to the west curb cut on 65th
Street
b. Twenty -two feet wide driving aisles, instead of 24
feet aisles are proposed in the western portion of
the north parking lot
C. Cars will be parked within the public right -of -way
along Pillsbury Avenue. However, Pillsbury Avenue
is to be vacated in the future
d. Temporary precast curbs are indicated instead of
permanent curbs. Permanent curbs will be provided
in future phases when Pillsbury Avenue is vacated.
4. The plan indicates that the city is responsible for the cost
of the west curb cut on 65th Street and for removal of
some curbing in the vicinity of 65th Street and Pillsbury
Avenue. However, the curbing changes result from changes
in United National's plan
5. The development will not meet state standards for the
number of handicap parking spaces. The development
will meet this standard upon completion of Phase IV of
the development
6. A final plat has not been provided. The council approved
the final development plan for Summit Bank on June 24,
1979, and stipulated that the final plat for the whole
development must be approved by the council and filed
with the county within 120 days of the date of council
approval of the final development plan.
Staff Recommendation
The staff recommends approval of the final development plan,
special use permit, and off-street parking permit with the following
stipulations:
1. That United National Corporation be responsible for re-
placing any damaged city property due to overhanging cars
IDor construction;

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 237
Agenda August 13, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Request for Special Use Permit, Variance
and Off - Street Parking Permit, 6445 Cedar
Avenue
In August, 1950, a building permit was approved for a commer-
cial building (cabinet shop) at 6445 Cedar Avenue (Lot 12, Block
8, New Ford Town Addition). Additions to the building were added
in 1967 and 1969. The present property owner, Mr. Don Morrow,
has also purchased the adjacent lot (Lot 11, Block 8, New Ford
Town Addition) and is using it for storage.
Mr. Morrow is proposing to construct a 28° °foot by 50°-•foot addi --
tion on the east side .of the existing structure. The existing set-
backs on Cedar Avenue and 65th Street will be maintained. The
additionw ill contain two auto repair bays with 12--foot high over-
head doors to allow truck access. The applicant has acquired the
adjacent lot to the north (Lot 10, Block 8, New.Ford Town Addition)
and is proposing to use the east 83 feet of the lot for a fenced
gravel vehicular storage area. The remaining.portion of Lot 10 will
be paved and used for selling repaired automobiles.
A special use permit is required to permit the sale of used
cars on the property and to expand the existing public garage. A
variance is required because the proposed addition would reduce the
required rear yard setback from 18 feet to one foot six inches. The
following items are attached to this council letter:
1, Applicant's proposal
2. Site plan
3. Site characteristics diagram
4. Petition
5. Petition map
6. Zoning map
7. Land use map
8. Comprehensive plan
Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Section 3.34, subdivision 1 and Section 3.33, subdivision 2
of the zoning ordinance require that car sales lots obtain special
Council Letter No. 237 -2-
August 13, 1979
use permits before locating in "I" industrial zoning districts.
• Section 3.34, subdivision 1 and Section 3.33, subdivision 3, set
standards with which car sale lots must comply.
Section 3.34, subdivision 5 and Section 3.39, subdivision 2
establishes rear yard setback requirements in "I" industrial zoning
districts.
Section 3.40, subdivision 6 lists three conditions which must
be met before a variance can be granted.
Section 3.41, subdivision 5 requires that it be demonstrated
that a car sales lot will not be detrimental to the public welfare.
Section 4.05 of the ordinance sets standards for off - street parking
areas, and Section 6.23, subdivision 4 sets standards for outside
storage.
Special Use Permit Findings
The staff has reviewed the applicant's proposal and found the
following:
1. The proposed addition and car sales lot should not result
in a significant increase in traffic. The addition .is
necessary to better handle the existing business. The rear
sales activity will be an accessory use to the existing
public garage use.
• 2. Sufficient off - street parking space will be provided.
Three spaces currently exist on the site. The proposal
will increase the parking area to seven spaces which
would meet city guidelines for this type of 1!sea Parking
problems currently exist on the site because the applicant
has insufficient spaces and because he uses two �Lppiicant
spaces for parking of has two trucks. The bous.evard area
is also currently used for parking.
All tow trucks and vehicles to be repairea should be parked
within the fenced storage area to insure that sufficient
off street parking spaces are available to customers and
employees. Because this is a residential area adjacent
to a commercial area, lack of off - street parking space
would be detrimental to the adjoining residential use
and the neighboring business use.
.se Tne proposal does not meet the city's outside storaye
regulation because tiie storage area would not iiave a
permanent surface aesigned and equippea to facilitate
proper drainage. Asphalt or concrete pavement and
barrier curbing should be Provided, ratner than the
crushed rock proposed.
14. Tne existing site presents a aestnetically poor appear-
ance. The small existing iuilding is in poor repair,
and should be repaired and painted to match the main
building. Uomplaints have been received concerning
Council Letter No. 237 -3- August 13, 1979
• outside storage of junk and debris, spilled oil,
weeds and the outside repair of vehicles. Landscaped
areas should also be providea along cedar Avenue such
as has been provided by the Yellow cab company located
at 64u1 Cedar Avenue.
5. The proposed use is in compliance with the comprehensive
plan.
Variance r'indings
The staff has reviewed this variance request and found the
following:
-I. That there are special circumstances or conditions
_affecting the particular Lana, nut common to other
properties in Lhis or similar dibtricts. a -here are
nu special conditions present on the site. The area
of the site is comparable to other industrial lots
in the area. The existing building is 18 feet short
of the frontyard setback requirements and is built
right up to the property line on the south. As a
result of -this, the buildable depth and width of the
property is larger than normal. Other structures on
the block have been constructed near rear property
lines.
• 2� That the granting of the application ess
cation is necary
for the preservation ana enjoyment of substantial
property rights. The variance is not necessary to
preserve the applicant's property rights. Denial of
the variance would not prevent the applicant from
using the property as it is currently developed. A.
different building could be constructed that would
not require a variance.
3. That the granting of the application will not materially
and adversely affect the health or safety of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood and will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to the property or improvements in the neighborhood.
The proposal would not be detrimental to the public
welfare. Additional parking will be provided, and the
vacant lot (Lot 1u) would be cleaned up and aeveloped.
This would improve the existing condition of the site.
The setback of the proposed addition would be in cnaracter
with other structures in the area.
Off Street Parking Permit Findings
The proposed aevelopment would not meet city standards for
off - street parking areas in the following ways:
1. Crushed rock pavement surface is to be used, rather
than asphalt or concrete.
Council Letter No. 237 -4- August 13, 1979
Concrete barrier curb is not being provided on the
perimeter of all parking areas.
Staff Recommendations
It is recommended that the special use permit be issued only
with the following stipulations:
1. That all tow trucks, cars to be repaired, and all
junk and debris be stored within the fenced storage
area. The fence should be constructed to effectively
screen the storage area from surrounding property,
2. That there be no parking in boulevard areas.
3. That the north building be repaired and painted to
match the main building.
4. That over story trees be planted and maintained in
the green areas along Cedar Avenue. The type and size
of the trees should be in accordance with the city's
landscape guidelines.
Vii. That vehicle parking and storage areas be paved and
curbed in accordance with city parking area standards..
• It is recommended that the variance be denied on the basis 'i-hat
the proposal does not meet the three conditions which must be
in order for a variance 'to be granted.
It is recommended that the off - street parking permit be
approved with the stipulation that all vehicle parking and storage
areas be paved and curbed to meet city standards.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The planning commission recommends that the special use permit
be issued with the following stipulations:
1. That all tow trucks, cars to be repaired, and all.
junk and debris be stored within the fenced storage
area. The fence should be constructed to effectively
screen the storage area from surrounding property.
2. That there be no parking in boulevard areas.
3. That the north building be repaired and painted to match
the main building.
4. That over story trees be planted and maintained in the
green areas along Cedar Avenue. The type and size of
the trees should be in accordance with the city's
landscape guidelines.
Council Letter No. 237 -5- August 13, 1979
5. All vehicle parking and storage areas should be
paved and curbed in accordance with city parking
area standards.
The planning commission also recommends that the variance be granted.

May 15, 1979
City of Richfield
Department of Public Works - -- Building Division
6700 Portland Avenue South
Richfield, Minnesota 55423
Gentlemen:
I would like to request that Morrow Auto Specialty Incorporated
be granted a special use permit for a twofold purpose. The first,
to allow an increase in the area of the existing structure which
will be 28 feet in depth and will be 50 feet in width. It will be
within 1 foot 6 inches of the property line and run parallel with
the alley at the rear. This structure would be 14 feet in height,
to accept a 12 foot high over head door, to allow placing our
• truck work indoors when work from our client is requested. The
wall -to -wall width of the structure is 27 feet and would allow a
2 bay parking arrangement.
This addition will cause a loss of 4 outside parking stalls. I
have a purchase offer for lot 10, 50' X 128', which adjoins my
property to the north, which will increase the storage and parking
area of my property by 6400 square feet. The east 83 feet to23�150sq.
feet, will be used for storage of vehicles that are to be repaired.
The front 45 feet, 2250 square feet, will be used for parking
vehicles. The rear storage area will be fenced in to match the
existing fencing.
As the enclosed photographs snow, many of the businesses on my
properties up north, are built near or at the alley property lines.
The second purpose of this special use permit is a request for a used
car sales lot, as we hold a State of Minnesota car sales license.
I was informed by Mr. Kuehl, Chief Inspector, that a city license
is needed and that before a city license can be granted, I would
need a special use permit that is required to establish a car sales
lot.
Being in the body repair business,Wehave our slack time and, therefore,
from time to time need fill in work, so we will buy repairables and
• refurbish these cars and resell these vehicles. This would not be
a large car sales area, I plan on using the front 45 feet by 50 feet,
2250 square feet, of lot 10 for this purpose. This portion of the
bON' MdRROW

lot would be blacktop and striped as per off - street ordinances. The
balance of the lot, would be brought to grade and surfaced with
9 inches of crushed rock. I find that because of service vehicle
weight, gas, oil, and antifreeze drippings, blacktop in this area
willbE.continuously be broken up. Crushed rock in turn, will hold
up under the same conditions.

Subject: Request for
and Request
Fence
Council Letter No. 236
Agenda August 13, 1979
Variance, 7603. Morgan Avenue South,
-to Use Public Property for Private
Mr. Karl Nollenberger is proposing to construct a redwood fence
along his north property line at 7601 Morgan Avenue South. The
fence would be six feet high from his east property line to a point
even with the front of his garage, then would.step down to four feet,
and then step down to two and one -half feet at a point approximately
28 feet from the west (Morgan Avenue) property line. The fence step
down is designed to maintain corner visibility.
There are twelve mature trees on Mr. Nollenberger's property
which abut or protrude over.the property line. To maintain these
trees within the fence, Mr. Nollenberger is requesting a variance
to allow him to construct the fence one and one-half feet onto the
public right-of-way along West 76th Street. There would be four
and one -half feet of space maintained between the existing sidewalk
on 76th Street and the proposed fence. The following items are
attached to this council .letter:
1. Fence Ordinance
2. Petition
3. Petition Map
4. Site Diagram
5. Intersection Accident Analysis
Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Section 3.39, Subdivision 2, sets standards for the.erection,
location and maintenance of fences. This section requires that fences
be set back three feet from the public right -of -way. Section 3.40,
Subdivision 6, lists three conditions which must be met for a variance
to be granted.
Staff Findings
The zoning administration staff has reviewed this variance
request and found the following:
1. That there are special circumstances or conditions
affecting the particular land, not common to other
properties in this or similar districts. It is the
staff's opinion that there are no special conditions
Council Letter No. 236 -2-
August 13, 1979
present on the site not common in other sites in similar
zoning districts. The lot is large (10,000 square feet)
and there is sufficient room on the site to construct the
rence within the property line. The trees along the
property lin e present a problem but it is a common problem
faced by property owners whose.property abuts public right-
of-way.
2. That the granting of the application is nece!f ar for the
preservation and enjoyment of substantia _p:o rty rj_,112ts.
It is the staff's opinion that the variance is not necessary
to protect Mr. Nollenberger's property rights, Denial_ of
the variance would not prevent Mr. Nollenberger from con-
tinuing the existing single family .residential use of -the
property or from constructing a fence within his property
line.
3, That the granting of the application will not materially
mat.er_ial y
and adverse affect the health or safety of_persons -u if
residing or working in the neighborhood and will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to the property or improvements in the neighborhood. It
is the staff's opinion that the proposed Fence would not
be detrimental.to the public welfare. The attached ac
cident analysis of the intersection.indl..cates that there
have been only four accidents at this Intersection since
1976. Only one of these-was due to partially obscured
vision. The applicant would _propose to maintain proper
• corner visibility and snow stor_�-.ge `space., `('hE'-.fenc:e, at,
its proposed location, would discourage chi :Ldren. from
climbing the trees and falling onto _the public ri.gh-t-of -,
way and injuring themselves,. To insure that- the 76th
Street public right --of -way is available ±_f needed for
public purposes, the applicant has agreed to enter into
an agreement with. the, city in which he agrees to rejnove
the fence at no cost to the city if the--right-of-way is
needed for future street or pedestrian development
Staff Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the Planning and Redevelopment
Director that the variance be denied on the basis that the proposal
does not meet the three conditions which must be met in order for a
variance to be granted.
Planninq Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission has recommended that the requested
variance be granted.

Agenda August 13, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Request for Alley Dedication and Proposed
Alley Dedication Policy
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 request for alley dedication has prompted an
analysis of the staff and the planning commission of city policies
concerning alley dedications.
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 properties, and is utilized by 8 dwelling units. All of these
private alleys, except one, are deadends. In addition to the private
residential 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.
Staff Findings
There are three main concerns raised by the request to dedicate
a private alley to the city:
1. Maintenance Problems: Deadend alleys are very diffi-
cult 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 equip-
ment 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: White it is difficult to compute
the additional cost of adding a single alley to the
city's maintenance program, any additional costs
should be accompanied by the recognition that
E
r 4
Council Letter No. 234
-2-
August 13, 1979
governmental levies are effectively frozen and
that substantial reductions in revenue sharing
are projected. This requires that all service
levels be analyzed carefully in terms of fiscal
impact, that expenses for additional services
must be balanced by cutbacks elsewhere. At a
time when the high rate of inflation and the in-
creasing uncertainty of funding challenges local
governments to preserve existing levels of ser-
vice without increasing expenditures, any ex-
tension of service that does not increase revenues
should be carefully weighed in terms of overall
public benefit, as well as cost.
3. Setting a Precedent: Since there have been no
alley dedications in recent years, action to accept
this alley dedication could set a precedent in
future cases which could force the city to assume
other private alleys. Do we want the increased
responsibility 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.
Richf ield
some comparable
land in streets
are as follows:
has more streets and alleys in public ownership than
suburban areas. The percentage of the total developed
and alleys for Richfield and other area communities
Richfield: 27 percent
St. Louis Park: 23 percent
Edina: 21 percent
Bloomington: 19 percent
Robbinsdale: 27 percent
Minneapolis: 28 percent
Richfield's street maintenance and repair costs are going to be a
higher percentage of overall municipal costs because of the large
amount of land dedicated to streets and alleys. To reduce city
operating costs and relieve some of the property tax base in the
city, the city should possibly be looking at opportunities to vacate
unnecessary streets and alleys, rather than assuming maintenance
responsibility for private alleys or driveways at the expense of
other city taxpayers. The amount of land used for streets and
alleys also means that less taxable land is available to support
city, school district, or county services. During the recently
completed permanent street improvement program, the city vacated
Council Letter No. 234 -3-
August 13, 1979
several unneeded streets. Several streets in the L /H /N area have
also been vacated.
• These vacations have the effect of reducing maintenance costs
and, in some areas, increasing the tax base. Addition of private
alleys, driveways and streets to public street systems will also
decrease the tax base, although the estimated tax loss to the city
if all private alleys were dedicated to public ownership would be
less than $500. The increased costs to maintain these areas would
create a further gap between revenues and expenditures for alley
maintenance.
Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the staff that the city not accept
dedication of any private alleys, streets, or driveways, because of
the three concerns discussed.
If the city council wishes to accept dedication of private ways
for public use, ownership, and maintenance, it is recommended that
the following criteria for accepting dedication be established:
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 serve a minimum number of properties
which should be explicitly determined.
3.
The alley should be a certain minimum length. It would
seem unfair to accept dedication of a short alley whose
maintenance costs are shared by several people, if many
average driveways are longer and are 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 sufficient space
to enable a snowplow to turn around.
5. The alley must 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 dedication.
6. All petitions for dedication of alleys must be accom-
panied by a legal survey and a marketable title.
The private alley whose dedication is now being requested
crosses several property lines, and serves 8 properties. While the
alley is 200 feet long, which is greater than local driveway lengths,
. there is no way to resolve the lack of space for maintenance equip-
ment maneuvering. As a policy matter, it is the staff's recommenda-
tion that the city deny the dedication request.
Council Letter No. 234 -4-
August 13, 1979
if the council wishes to consider receiving dedication of private
alleys for public purposes, it is recommended that the council
accept the general criteria outlined above, and direct the staff to
develop specific criteria related to those general areas before
further considering the request to dedicate the private alley off
of 74th Street between Lyndale and Aldrich Avenues to the city.

Agenda August 13, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Deletion of Easement Areas from the Lyndale
Avenue Improvement Project
On several occasions during recent months, the city council has
taken actions which provide for the purchase of easements to enable
construction of traffic and pedestrian improvements along Lyndale
Avenue. These improvements are scheduled to be undertaken in 1980,
on that portion of Lyndale Avenue between 64th Street and Lake Shore
Drive. Many of the easement areas which the city is acquiring are
necessary to enable construction of sidewalk areas to enhance ped-
estrian traffic flow through the commercial area adjacent to Lyndale
• Avenue.
A significant difficulty has been encountered in developing
the design for a pedestrian area adjacent to the Cricket Photo prop-
erty, located at 6724 Lyndale Avenue. The improvements scheduled
for that property would jeopardize the continued operation of that
business, by eliminating a large portion of the Cricket Photo park-
ing. Officials of the Minnesota Department of Transportation state
aid office, which are providing some funding for the project, have
inspected the Cricket Photo property in an effort to weigh the con-
sequences of deleting the sidewalk area for that property from the
overall project, or the consequences of continuing with the side-
walk placement and disrupting the businesses parking. After dis-
cussions with MNDot officials and the property owner, MNDot has
agreed to delete the improvements from this property, terminating
the sidewalk improvements north of Cricket Photo, without jeopardizing
the overall street improvement project.
Therefore, it is recommended that the city council adopt the
attached resolution, deleting the Cricket Photo property from the
Lyndale Avenue improvement project. A sketch showing the easement
area to be deleted from the improvement project is also attached.

Honorable Mayor Loren Law
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: WINE LICENSING COMMITTEE
Dear Mayor Law and Council Members:
It is with extreme regret that I tender my resignation from the subject
committee in accordance with section 8 (d) of the Resolution No. 5984
passed by the council on the 10th day of October 1978.
This action on my part is prompted by three major reasons:
1. The make up of the committee makes it impossible to impartially
• complete this study. While I respect the feelings and the convictions
of all individuals on the committee I feel that our responsibility goes
beyond our personal convictions in favor of what is desired in the
community at large.
2. Section 8 (c) of the Resolution No. 5984 states that removal of
legal residence from the city shall cause the position of a regular
member to become vacant. I must assume then that all members of the
committee will be legal residents of our city. This is not the case in
our present committee.
3. I cannot allow myself to participate in the public hearing scheduled
for Thursday evening, September 13th, since five of the seven committee
members have expressed a very strong negative feeling toward a wine
ordinance. Busy people do not need to participate in an exercise of
futility.
For the above three reasons I respectfully request the acceptance of my
resignation from this study committee. I would also respectfully request
that this letter be read at an open council meeting so that the general
public will be aware of my concerns and my reactions.
Y grs�veerry truly,
Carlton W. Lytle//

Council Letter No. 231
Agenda August 13, 1979
for Bids for
Avenue between
There is an item on the August 13, 1979 city council agenda
requesting council authorization to advertise for bids to do the
following work: Remove, clean, and replace joint material in the
concrete pavement on Lyndale Avenue from 74th Street to approximately
78th Street. This section of pavement was constructed in 1965, and
the joint repair work is necessary to preserve the roadway from
further deterioration.
• The approved 197/ Capital Improvement Program provided $30,000
in state aid maintenance monies to undertake this work. For various
reasons, the project was not undertaken at that time. The state
aid maintenance monies appropriated in the general fund, to finance
that work have become a part of the city's fund balance, carried
over from each year's appropriated, but unused, revenues. However,
the 1979 general fund budget contemplated state aid maintenance
revenues of $39,000, and the city has been successful in getting
the 19/9 and subsequent year's annual state -aid maintenance
appropriation increased to $79,000. Therefore, funds for this project
will be available in the 1979 revised budget, reflecting the increased
state aid maintenance appropriation.

1. The proposed rezoning and use of the property would
be in compliance with the comprehensive plan. The
comprehensive plan indicates low density, single
r',4 family residential use for the area, which would include
irl t single or two family dwellings.-
2. The proposed use would be consistent with the compre-
hensive plan policy to provide duplexes along arterial
streets, because the site is located adjacent to the
Crosstown 62 Highway.
3. The rezoning would constitute spot zoning because the
site is surrounded by "R" residential zoning districts.
Spot zoning has the effect of depressing property values
of surrounding single family residential property. Spot
Zoning could also be challenged as arbitrary and for the
�r =s, ;�1 { -- sole benefit of one property owner. However, a case for
�R , r ._
this spot zoning could be upheld because the rezoning
is in compliance with a city's comprehensive plan.
