Subject:. Report on Storm Water Drainage Problems
The purpose of this council letter is to provide information
requested by the city council on possible solutions. to storm water
drainage. problems which have occurred at certain locations in the
city during periods of very heavy rain.
It is not intended that the material contained in this council
letter be the subject of a hearing at the November 27, 1978 city
council meeting. Rather, it would be appropriate to initiate a
special. assessment project should the city council determine to
pursue any significant improvements. The state statutes prescribe
a specific procedure for such projects which include mandatory
public hearings. Use of such special assessment hearings would
.assure all property owners, who would receive potential benefit
and, therefore, bear part of the cost, an opportunity to partici-
pate.
A procedure for further possible action and hearings is de-
scribed at the end of this letter. .
Background Information
Certain locations in the city experienced storm water prob-
lems during periods of extremely heavy rainfall on August 30,
197.7 and again on two occasions in the spring and summer of 1978.
Orr-Schelen-Mayeron, consulting engineers for the city, were asked
to study these areas and make a report to the city council. A
total. of 38 locations were identified and investigated. The OSM
report was submitted and a presentation made to the city council
on September 25, 1978.
Following that presentation the city council requested fur-
ther staff analysis. The city manager was directed to study and
review the OSM report and make recommendations on procedures which
could be followed for improvements on a storm drainage area basis.
These recommendations were to be submitted no later than the second
council meeting in November.
In addition to this OSM study, the City of Richfield initi-
ated a joint effort with the City of Edina this past summer to
,Council Letter No. 344 -2-
November 27, 1978
study similar problems along Richfield's western boundary. This
study is proceeding, but as yet no. formal report has been pre-
pared, and one is not anticipated until-easy next year.
Alternative Solutions
At the September 25th meeting
the. 38 -locations studied by OSM be
basis. While alI locations cannot

ation fall into four areas. These
and are as follows:

will be made to these four areas in the alternative
ribed in this letter.
Financing Storm Sewer Improvements
..Prior to February., 1972 it had been city policy to finance
storm sewer improvements through special assessment bond issues
and special assessments levied against private property. That
policy provided for a maximum .storm sewer assessment of 3.5~ per
square foot. Virtually all property within the City of Richf field
has paid or is in the process of paying this maximum of 3.5G storm
sewer assessment for storm sewers and related. appurtances.
In February, 1972 the city council adopted a new storm sewer
assessment policy. (Resolution No. 4735, copy attached). The new
policy provides that all storm sewers or appurtances constructed
. in 1974 and future years be fully assessed.
The alternative solutions described in this council letter
have significant estimated costs. Therefore, the only feasible
way of financing such improvements is through the special assess-
ment process in accordance with city council policy.
Alternative A
This alternative would provide for the construction of addi-
tional storm sewers and improvements at Norby Pond and Wilson Pond.
Essentially, it represents an effort to provide the conveyance of
storm water through underground .storm sewers to the pond or outfall
area. This alternative would provide a greater level of protection
to all of the 38 problem areas with the exception of those locations
included in Area I which is not being addressed in this report.
The estimated cost for this alternative is 4.2 million dollars.
Council Letter No. 344 -3-
November 27, 1978
While this alternative would provide. greater storm water pro-
tection, consideration should be given to whether the benefits
justify the cost and whether potentially benefited property
owners would feel there is a great enough benefit to justify
paying 4.2 million dollars plus interest costs in storm sewer
assistance..
Alternative B
This alternative would .provide increased drainage facilities
to Areas II, III and IV. In addition, other minor incidental im-
provements to streets, storm water catch basins and manhole covers
.could provide greater protection. Improvements would be made to
-Norby Pond and Wilson Pond and a new relief sewer constructed in
the Logan Avenue area of .West 68th Street. The total estimated
cost for this alternative is $1,925,000.
Norby .and Wilson Ponds would be deepened and provided with
permanent pumps. .This would increase the capacity of both systems
and improve the ability of these ponds to store large volumes of
runoff.- These pond improvements are estimated to cost $800,000.
A larger relief sewer would be constructed in the West 68th
Street-area. This sewer would provide increased pipe conveyance
capacity to the 70th - Penn Avenue, Queen Avenue and the adjacent
areas of Oliver-James-Logan Avenue areas of 68th Street. This
sewer is estimated to cost 1.1 million .dollars.
Alternative C
Alternative C would provide for improvements described under
Alternative B for Norby Pond .and Wilson. Pond and for other miscell-
aneous limited improvements in the street right-of-way to street
grades, catch basin facilities and manhole covers.. The estimated
cost of this alternative is $870,000.
The improvements which could be made within the street right-
of-way at an estimated cost of $70,000 would provide a higher
level of protection to certain locations within Area II. Other
improvements would be located around the city in areas where some
meaningful benefit could be derived from this type of corrective
action.
We believe that the remaining properties could privately
undertake improvements associated with flood proofing the structures
on these properties. The degree to which a property owner might
wish to provide flood proofing would vary considerably as would
costs depending on whether work was completely contracted or whether
property owners did much of the work themselves. It is estimated
that. some form of flood proofing could be done on 125 structures
throughout the city in .scattered locations. While it is extremely
difficult to place an estimated cost on such work without extensive
detailed studies, OMS has .estimated that the cost of such-flood
proofing could be as high as $230,000 in the aggregate. Again,
it must be emphasized that many homeowners may ultimately conclude
Council Letter No. 344 -4-
November 27, 1978
not to pursue such work and if such improvements are made, it is
conceivable that they would never be required, depending on
rainwater volume and velocity.
.Alternative D
Alternative D provides for public expenditures to be limited
to the minor improvements described previously within the street
right-of-way. This alternative would .not preclude private property
:owners from pursuing corrective flood proofing efforts on their
own property.
A storm water drainage system is customarily designed to handle
normal rainstorm expectancies. It is unusual and generally pro-
hibitively expensive to construct a storm water collection system
to handle infrequent peak level problems. While flooding can
occur to low lying properties under virtually any storm water system,
the statistical chance for reoccurrence of the recent heavy storms
is very low.
It .can certainly. be argued that the City of Richfield currently
.has an adequate storm water system-and that barring unusual and very
dense redevelopment in the city that no further major improvements
to the system are necessary.
Summary of Estimated Costs for Four Alternatives
In summary, the alternatives listed above are estimated to
cost as follows:
Alternative A
-Norby Pond Improvement $ 500,000
Wilson Pond Improvement 300,000
Citywide Storm Sewer En-
largement 3,400,000
Total Cost .$4,200-,000

Council Letter No. 344 - 5 - November 27, 1978
Suggested Alternative
It is recommended that Alternative C be selected as the most
feasible approach to solving these problems. Improved drainage
would result to all areas if the solutions proposed under this alter-
native were irnplemented (see attached listing of 38 sites prepared by
osr1~ .
At Norby Pond, the area would be enlarged to better serve the
adjacent areas and the bottom would be lowered to improve drainage in
nine of the 38 areas involved in the engineering study. Making this
improvement would:
1. Reduce flooding threats to the properties on Third Avenue
bordering the east side of the pond;
2. Improve drainage at Stevens and tdest 68th Street;
3. Reduce pressures in the Columbus Avenue-storm sewer, near
69th Street and 70th Street;
4. Provide better drainage to the 73rd Street-First Avenue
intersection and reduce the flooding to the adjacent three
residences.
Using the. area designated as Area III on the attached map, the
staff has prepared very preliminary figures on the cost assessments
which would be necessary to make the Norby Pond improvements. Based
~ on an estimated cost of $500,000 and a typical lot size of 75 feet
frontage, it is estimated an individual's total assessment would be
$365, excluding interest.
Deepening tailson Pond would improve drainage in four of the 38
areas studied by our engineering consultant.. It is their belief that
the pond can be lowered and provided with pumps for a cost of approx-
imately $300,000_. This would provide increased protection from unusual
rainstorms to Area IV and the residences-near Centennial School.
Using this estimate and a benefited area of 86 blocks, we believe
the typical assessment for the owner of a 75 foot by 175 foot property
would be less than $200. This figure does not include interest although
if spread over 20 years would not be unusually high for the benefits
derived.
While the city would not provide financial assistance to any
property owner wishing to engage in flood proofing activities, we
could provide technical and code compliance assistance through the
public works department.
Suggested Procedure
State statutes specifically prescribe the public hearing process
and the assessment procedure for special assessment projects. It is
recommended this procedure be used. if the city council wishes to pro-
ceed with any major storm-sewer work. The procedure would be as follows:
Council Letter. No. 344 - G - November 27, 1978
1. Adopt a resolution initiating public improvements and
ordering preparation of the preliminary engineering
report.
2. Adopt a resolution receiving the preliminary engineering
report and ordering the public hearing.
3. Adopt a resolution ordering. the improvement and pre°
paration of final plans and specifications.
4. Adopt a resolution for approving final. plans for
specifications and- advertising.

Subject: Hearing on Year V, Community Development
Block Grant Program
-The city council has scheduled a public hearing for November
27, 1978 on the city's application for. Year V Community Develop-
ment Block Grant funding. Inasmuch as the Richfield application
is part of the Hennepin County Urban County Application for-the
Community Development Block Grant monies, the hearings are technic-
ally being held as joint hearings with .Hennepin County.
The November 27, 1978 city council hearing will be informa-
tional in nature, providing the city council an opportunity to
receive testimony from interested residents regarding possible
uses of the Community Development Block Grant monies. The city
council should schedule a second hearing on the Community Devel-
opment Grant Program to be held in early 19.79. That hearing will
provide an opportunity for the city council to review the staff's
recommendation for the use of Community Development Block Grant
funds, as well as to review and adopt the Community Development
Plan and the Housing Assistance Plan.
Richfield will receive $328,000 for Year IV. Estimates for
Year V tAugust, 1979 through July, 190) are not yet fully deter-
mined, but we .can assume the receipt of approximately $300,000.
In preparation for the public .hearing on this subject, a
legal notice has been published in the official city newspaper.
The following community groups and organizations have also been
invited to appear at the November 27, 1978 hearing and provide

Subject:.- Request for Approval of Final Plans and
Specifications for the Golf Course Project,
And Authorization to Advertise for Bids
On August 28, 1978 the city council approved the preliminary
plans for the .golf course site, and authorized preparation of
final plans and specif ications. On September 11, 1978 the city
council approved preliminary plans .for the golf course buildings,
and authorized preparation of final plans and specifications.
An informal review of the final plans and specifications for both
tYie site and the building was held by the city council on November
13, 1978.
There is an item on the November 27, 1978 city council agenda
providing for final council approval of plans and specifications
and authorizing a call for bids.
The final plans and specifications will provide for a regula-
tion 18 hole course, a nine hole par. three course, a driving range,
accessory parking lot, a club house and a maintenance building.
The site plan also includes a somewhat enlarged neighborhood park
for the Rich Acres subdivision. The proposal is that 69th Street
would beclosed at the east edge of last Avenue and that a cul-de- ?
sac would be constructed at. the. south end of 2Rnd Avenue. These
changes would permit expansion in a southerly direction at a later
date.
Tt,is estimated by the architects that the golf course facility
as planned can be constructed within the overall project budget of
$1,885,000, which was adopted by the city council on September 11,
1.978.
Final 'approval of the plans and specifications for the golf
course in late November will permit the receipt of bids bymid-
January, 1979. The-sale of a-gross revenue bond issue is scheduled
for the end of March, 1979 which would permit the award of con-
struction contracts- in early April, 1979. The timetable, assuming
that all phases of the project proceed on schedule, is as follows:

Subject: Moratorium on the Filling of Position Vacancies
During the 1977 budget hearings, the city council established
a moratorium on filling full time position vacancies. The purpose
of this letter is to request the city council waive this. morator-
ium to permit the following full. time positions to be filled:
Clerk Stenographer II--This position .vacancy results from
. a resignation,. This position is responsible for handling
the more difficult licensing activities including the
preparation of the daily cash summaries.
Parks Maintenance Person--This position vacancy also is the
result of a resignation and is one of two position respons-
ble for the care and upkeep of the ice arena.
Since both of these positions are crucial in terms of work.
load and are fully funded in the budget, it is recommended that
the moratorium be lifted to permit their immediate filling..

Subject: Request for Special Use Permit, Off-Street
Parking Contract and Right-Of-Way Agreement
6545 Penn Avenue
On November 13, 1978 the city .council deferred action on a
request from Cardco Investment Company for a special use permit
to allow them to convert the existing vacant service station at
-6545 Penn Avenue into a Clark's Submarine Sandwich Restaurant.
A copy of Council Letter No. 324, providing background information
on this request, is attached.
a The city council requested the staff to meet with the appli-
cant in an attempt to resolve right-of-way questions. along. 66th
Street and Penn Avenue adjacent to the site. City and county
staff members have met with Mr. Tiesdal, the property owner,
and reached the following agreement:
1. The property owner will enter into an agreement with
the city providing that no improvements will be con-
structed within the 12-foot additional right-of-way
on either 66th Street or Penn Avenue. This right-
of-way designation conforms with .Hennepin County
long-range design for the intersection.
2. The city or county will acquire the additional right-
of-way when it is needed for street construction..
3. The applicant will provide 17 off-street parking
spaces, resurface the parking lot and close the
two curb. cuts closest to the intersection of 66th
Street and Penn Avenue.
4. Sidewalks will be provided along Penn Avenue and.
66th Street, and a bus shelter provided .on 66th
Street
5. The curb cuts are increased from a 20-foot width
to a 24-foot width.
~ ~.. 4.
Council Letter No. 337 -2- November 27, 1978
It is the conclusion of the Planning and Redevelopment
Director -and the Public Works Director that the agreement nego-
tiated with Mr. Tiesdale would. resolve the right-of-way questions
raised by-the city council at the last meeting. The Public Works
Director has also reviewed this application to insure compliance
by the applicant with all ordinance provisions regulating off-
street parking contracts, and has concluded that the applicant's
off-street parking proposal complies with all applicable ordinance
provisions.
It is, therefore, recommended that the city council take the
following actions:
1.. Approve the special use permit in accordance with
the attached site plan, with the stipulation that
the property owner enter into an agreement preserving
the Penn Avenue and 66th Street right-of-way.
2.' Approve the,off-street parking contract.
3. Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute an
agreement with the. property owner, as described
herein, providing for preservation of the 66th
Street - Penn Avenue right-of-way.

Comprehensive Plan: High/medium density mixed 1a.nd,.use
,i
The zoning ordinance in Section 3.33, subdivision 2 and Section
3.34, subdivision 1, requires that restaurants can only be located
in industrial districts of the city if a special use permit is ob-
taned. No special use permit for. a restaurant currently exists
on the site.
STAFF REVIEW
Special Use Permit
The staff .has reviewed the proposed restaurant site plan
against .the following:
,~ 1. Comprehensive Plan
2. Conditions for issuing a special use permit
(Section 3.33, sub. 4 and Section 3.41, sub.
5 of the city code)
Comprehensive Plan
- The comprehensive plan indicates the site should be developed
with high to medium density mixed land use including such uses as
office, institutional, light and research oriented industrial,-
retail commercial and multiple dwellings. -The restaurant is a re-
;tail commercial type use and is in compliance with the comprehensive
` plan use category. However, the restaurant is not medium to high
.:density and does not conform to the comprehensive plan density
`goals.
Conditions for Issuing a Special Use Permit
'.The conditions. for issuing a special use permit for a restaur-
ant use require that the use be in substantial compliance with the
standards found in Section 3.33, subdivision 4 and and not be
detrimental to the public welfare tSection 3.41, subdivision 5).
..Staff has reviewed the proposed use and found it to be in substant-
ial compliance with Section 3..33, subdivision 4 and in making this
finding, staff has considered the following potential detriments:
Parking Requirements - Twenty (20) off-street parking
spaces would be provided. This is nine more than would
be required by city parking guidelines. The restaurant
would have a high turnover rate with carryout service
which creates a high, short term demand for parking.
``~ The twenty spaces provided should be sufficient to meet
the needs.
Traffic Circulation - The applicants proposed to close
- the two existing driveways closest to the Penn Avenue-
' 66th Street intersection and relocate the otfler two
entrances to better relate to the parking layout. The
remaining driveways will allow two-way circulation into
{. Council Letter No. 324 -3- November 13, 1978
~,
and out of the site and driving aisles will be wide
K enough to allow proper vehicle circulation on the site.
Pedestrian Amenities - Sidewalks would be maintained on
ali building frontages to allow for proper pedestrian
movement. The applicants have also agreed to relocate
their proposed sign and to provide additional sidewalk
on the corner between their landscape area and the exist-
ing sidewalk which will help to alleviate the existing
narrow sidewalk problem in .the area. The applicants
:have also agreed to provide an 8' x 16' easement to the
city so that a needed bus shelter can be located on the
corner of 66th Street and Penn Avenue.
Congestion on Surrounding Streets - Existing traffic
.volume on Penn Avenue is 15,800 (slightly under capacity)
'and the volume on 66th Street is 20,675 (over capacity).
Public safety department records indicate that the number
of accidents from 1972 to October 11, 1978 at the Penn
_ Avenue/66th Street-intersection is as follows:
1972 - 18
1973 - 16
1974 - 26
1975 - 27
'"'.; :~. 1 976 - 21
1 977 - 1 7
1978 - 13
Total -138
Existing congestion in the area is high and the accident
-'rate is.high compared. to other areas in Richfield. Public
improvements such as street widening to provide separate
turn lanes and signalization for left-turn movements are
necessary to improve the existing congestion. A turning
.movement study conducted by Hennepin County in May, 1978 .
indicates that there is a need for left-turn lanes at the
intersection with the greatest need being for westbound
traffic on 66th Street wishing to go south on Penn Avenue
and for southbound traffic on Penn Avenue wishing to go
east on 66th Street. Twelve. feet of additional right-of-
way would be necessary for each new turning lane. AIr.
Tiesdale, the property owner on which the proposed Clark's
Restaurant would be located, has indicated that he is
unwilling to provide additional right-of-way for turning
lanes.
The attached site plan (Exhibit I) shows how right-of-way
could be dedicated on 66th Street resulting in the loss
of only one parking stall and providing the same amenities.
However, because the property owner is not voluntarily
willing to dedicate right-of-way, a requirement to dedicate
right-of-way as a stipulation for the special use permit
may be successfully challenged. Also, the city may lose
some of the other amenities which the applicant has agreed
to provide.
Council Letter No. 324 -4- November 13, 1978
~,
< To analyze the effect which the proposed restaurant
would have on the existing condition, it is necessary
to compare the trip generation rate of the restaurant..
-and the service station use which the restaurant is
replacing. A study conducted by the Ohio Section of
the Institute of Traffic Engineers showed the following:
Peak Hour Daily
Land Use (trips/1,000 sq.f t. GFA){trips/1000 sf GFA)
Fast Food Rest. 73 561
'Service Station 43 622
'',
The study indicates ghat a fast food restaurant would
generate more peak hdur trips than a service station but
would generate less daily trips. _This means that there
would be more congestion-during certain hours (noon and
dinner time) but less ongestion on a daily basis.
_ ~
The proposed closing of ', the .two entrances nearest to the
intersection will result in safer turning movements into
and out of the site. Th`s.would have a positive effect
on congestion in the are4i.
'~ I It is the staff's opinio ,`that the proposal will not result
., ;.
~~- in a substantial increase~in traffic or congestion from
the previous use on the s`te.
Aesthetics - The ro osed ~ evelo meet w u h
P p ~ p o ld aye a positive
effect on the aesthetic appearance of the site and the area.
The building renovation and~tthe additional .site landscaping
,- will greatly improve the vi~~ual appearance of the site.
This is particularly import~.nt on a highly visible corner
- for creating a positive imag'~e of-the community and for acting
as a stimulus for other prop{arty owners in the area to im-
. prove their property. It wi~_1 also. have a positive effect
on property values.
Best Use of Land - The Penn A~,enue - 66th Street intersection
. is a high volume intersection ~cvhich makes the area surround-
. - - ing it desirable, valuable commercial property. The best
use of land from a tax benefitlbasis would, therefore, be
one which maximized the intens%ty of development to maxi-
mize the tax benefit to the city. There are .market factors
which limit the intensity of development in the area, how-
- ever. The nearness of Southdale, Southtown, and the L/H/N
.area reduces the marketability of the area for high in-
tensity uses. This limits the type of development which
- can reasonably be expected to occur in the area to less
intensive uses such as the proposed restaurant.
In summary, the staff has found that the proposed restaurant
would be in compliance with the standards for restaurants, would
result in beneficial improvements to the building and site, and
would not be detrimental to the public welfare.
Council Letter No. 324 -5- November 13, 1978

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above review, the staff would recommend that
the special use permit be issued.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The planning commission considered .this matter at their
October 24, 1978 meeting. One area property owner appeared before
the planning commission and expressed concern about the number of
existing restaurants in the area. The planning commission on a
vote of 6-2, moved to recommend that the council issue the special
use permit with the stipulation that staff is satisfied that the
-'size and location of sign and that the sign does not result in any
visibility problems on the corner. Commissioners Ertman and
Helmberger.voted "no" on the motion.
Some of the commissioners expressed concern about the size
of the sign. being proposed and the close proximity of the sign to
.the 66th Street and Penn Avenue corner. The applicant agreed to
move the sign back. The proposed sign conforms to the sign ordin-
ance. :The commissioners were also concerned about the congestion
on 66th Street and Penn Avenue. Several commissioners expressed
the-need for dedication of right-of-way on Penn Avenue or 66th
4~,~ =`Street to help solve the problem.

Store Architectural Services

~~

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 336
Agenda November 27, 1978
~~ ~~ u~-
~. ~~
• There is an item on the November 27, 1978 city council
agenda providing for approval of an agreement with Lindberg
Pierce, Inc. to provide architectural services required for
the Lyndale Avenue Municipal Liquor Store.
The 1977 budget provided for construction of secondary
basement exits at both the Cedar Avenue Liquor-Store and the
Lyndale Avenue Liquor Store. The architectural firm of Lindberg
Pierce, Inc. was retained at that time to perform the design work
required for these projects. The work at the Cedar Store was
completed late in 1977. However, when it became apparent that a
portion of the Lyndale Avenue store property might be sold for
other commercial development purposes it was decided to defer
any design or construction of the secondary basement exit at
the Lyndale Store.
We made this decision in 1977 inasmuch as we did not know at
that point im time how the 'construction of a new commercial
building north of the Lyndale liquor store might impact our store
operation. Moreover, the Lyndale Avenue liquor store is nearly
15 years old and it was concluded that there were several other
items which should be addressed if any significant changes were
to occur.
Since-that time a portion of the Lyndale Avenue liquor store
parking lot was acquired for the sum of $40,591 to provide for
the~_lauridry/veterinary commercial building to the north. In
addition, certain parking lot improvements have occurred along
65th Street on the south side of the liquor store. Street im-
provements on Lyndale Avenue, including sidewalk construction
are planned for 1.979 and will have. some impact on the area in
front of the Lyndale Avenue store.
Therefore, an $80,000 project consisting of the land sale
profits and some additional liquor store profit funds has been
proposed for 1979. The general items to be addressed in this
project consist of the following: liquor store entrance-exit
renovations; modifications to the check-out area inside the
store; a general sprucing up of the general appearance of the

interior of the store, including new carpeting, painting,
etc.; possible redesign of the loading dock at the rear of
the store; construction of a secondary. basement exit and
exterior redesign to improve the appearance of the store to
make it .consistent with other major development going on in
the area.
An agreement covering this work has been negotiated with
the architectural firm of Lindberg Pierce, Inc. Architectural
services would be provided on the basis of 9°s of total con-
struction costs up to $100,000, with a maximum fee of $9,000.
It is anticipated that preliminary plans could be prepared
_ and :available for city council review early in 1979 which would
permit the renovation work to occur during the early 1979 summer
months.
It is recommended that the .agreement-with Lindberg Pierce
Inc. be approved.
Respectfully submitted,
