CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 275
Agenda September 11, 1978
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Approval of Preliminary Building Plans,
Budget, Fee Schedule and Call for Bids
for Golf Course Project
The purpose of this letter is to recommend that the following
actions be taken by the city council:
1. Approve the preliminary plans for the golf course
buildings and authorize preparation of final design
and specifications;
2. Approve Phases II and III of the agreement between the
City of Richfield and Brauer and Associates for site
planning services;
3. Approve plans and specifications for the relocation
of four (4) ballfields, and authorize the advertise-
ment for bids to relocate these facilities;
4. Adopt a financing plan for the golf course project.
Preliminary Golf Course Building Plans
The preliminary building plans call for a clubhouse and a
maintenance building to be located on the golf course site. The
clubhouse would provide approximately 2,400 square feet on each of
two floors. The upper, or main level, would include a control area,
office space, food service, storage space, seating space, vending
space, toilets, and three entrances. The lower, or basement level,
would include a cooler and food storage area, janitorial storage area,
mechanical area, large multi - purpose space which would be used for
purposes such as golf instruction, a stairway entrance, and a ramp
entrance. The building is to be located on the site in such a way
as to provide good visual control of the regulation 18 and par 3
courses as well as the putting green and driving range.
The maintenance building and area will include outside storage,
inside storage and work area, parts room, office space, lunchroom
and toilets. The maintenance building and area is proposed to be
located in the "outfield" area of the driving range..
I Council Letter No. 275 -2- September 11, 1978
A full presentation of the preliminary plans will be made
by Richard Schwarz /Neil Weber, Inc. at the September 11, 1978
city council meeting. These plans have been reviewed by the
golf course citizen committee and the park and.recreation advis-
ory commission and both groups have recommended city council approv-
al of the plans.
Therefore, it is recommended that the city council approve
the preliminary plans for golf course buildings and authorize
Richard Schwarz /Neil Weber, Inc. to proceed with Phase II, providing
for preparation of final plans and specifications.
Phase II and Phase III, Site Planninq Services
On June 12, 1978 the city council approved an agreement with
Brauer and Associates for golf course site architectural services
and authorized implementation of Phase I, preliminary plans, of the
agreement on a.lump sum basis in the amount of $6,000. On August
28, 1978, the city council approved the preliminary site plan and
.authorized preparation of final plans and specifications. The council
must, however, approve implementation of additional phases of the
agreement with- Brauer and Associates,-to enable preparation of these
final plans and specifications.
Phase II of the agreement provides for final plans and specif-
ications, including preparation of complete design, working drawings
and specifications for all golf course related facilities described
in the approved preliminary plan and budget. Provisions will be
made for alternates for the purpose of obtaining the most advantage-
ous construction cost package. Drawings and specifications will be
prepared on the basis of full construction management by Brauer and
Associates during the construction phase of the project. Phase II
would include meetings, as necessary, with various agencies and
contractors, and preparation of detailed cost estimates.
Phase III of the agreement provides for bidding procedures,
including printing, binding and distribution of plans and specifi-
cations, as well as bidder conferences, bid opening and bid review.
Inasmuch as the ballfield relocation this fall would need to involve
these types of services and close work with bonding consultants on
bid results, Phase III should also be considered at this time.
The consultant services for Phase II, as briefly described
above, would be provided for a lump sum fee in the amount of
$44,400. Phase III consultant services, as briefly described above,
would be provided for a lump sum fee in the amount of $20,800.
The golf course citizen committee and the park and recreation
advisory commission have recommended that the city council approve
continuation of the agreement with Brauer and Associates, including
the arrangement for construction management. It is, therefore,
recommended that the city council authorize the mayor and city manager
to execute the agreement with Brauer and Associates to implement
Phase II and Phase III of the agreement on the basis that construction
management will be used for the project.
Council Letter No. 275 -3- September 11, 1978
Ballfield Relocation
The preliminary site plan, approved by the city council on
August 28, 1978, includes the relocation of four ballfields. This
item has been discussed with the golf course committee, the park
and recreation advisory commission, and representatives of the
various East Richfield youth baseball and softball organizations.
It has been determined that a site east of 24th Avenue provides
sufficient space for relocation of these fields. The site plans
for this project will be presented at the September 11, 1978
city council meeting.
The timetable for grading and seeding the fields is as follows:

November 13
November 24
Approve plans, authorize ad-

Complete grading and seeding
By beginning the ballfield relocation this fall, sufficient
time will be provided for maturation of turf areas, with fencing,
dugout and other finishing work to.be completed in 1979. The facil-
ities will be available for play in the spring of 1980. This sched-
ule will not disrupt any play by East Richfield youth. By seeding
this fall, substantial savings will be realized in the relocation
because sod work will not be required.
The golf course citizen committee and the park and recreation
advisory commission have reviewed the proposal to relocate these
ballfields and recommend that the city council approve the plans
for the relocation of the four ballfields and authorize the adver-
tisement for to complete the necessary landscape work.
Financing Plan
The estimated golf course construction cost has been set at
$1,885,000. This estimate reflects the preliminary site plans
approved by the city council on August 28, 1978 and the prelimin-
ary building plans to be considered by the city council on Septem-
ber 11.
Discussions at the last city council meeting indicated a
city council preference for supporting as much of the front end
costs of the golf course as possible by current revenues. This
kind of financing strategy would in turn decrease the amount of
a gross revenue bond issue. Therefore, it is recommended that
an amount of $275,000 in special revenue funds be added to the
existing $310,000 appropriation for the golf course project. The
appropriation of these additional special revenue funds should
occur next year prior to the time that,-.construction bids are
awarded. Appropriation of these current revenues would then make
Council Letter No. 275 -4- September 11, 1978
it possible to sell a gross revenue bond issue in the amount of
$1,300,000 to fund the balance of the project. In summary, the
total golf course project budget of $1,885,000 is recommended to
be.f inanced by the existing $310,000 appropriation, an additional
special revenue fund appropriation of $275,000, and a .gross reven-
ue bond issue in the amount of $1,300,000.
This financing plan would support a project budget designed
to include all preliminary costs, construction contracts, the
purchase of initial equipment and supplies, consultant fees,
capitalized interest, and reserve accounts. Revenues to be gener-
ated from operation of the golf course have been estimated to be
sufficient to retire the gross revenue bond issue and fund the
operation of the facilities on an annual basis.
Summary
All the study and project work undertaken to date indicates
that the proposed Richfield Municipal Golf Course is a feasible
project. Approvals have been secured from a number of agencies
concerned with the project, including the Metropolitan Airport Comm-
ission, the Metropolitan Council, the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration. Preliminary site
plans have been approved. An economic feasibility study has been
conducted, received and filed.
With council approval of the preliminary site plan and author-
ization to continue subsequent phases of the consultant agreement
on September 11, 1978, both the site and building architects may
proceed with preparation of final plans and specifications.
Authorization to call for bids for ballfield relocation will
enable this work to proceed so as to not interrupt play as a result
of the golf course project. '
Adoption of the financial plan providing for a total project
budget of $1,885,000 will allow economic advancement of the project.
It is recommended that the city council take the actions out-
lined in this letter to enable continued implementation of the golf
course project in accordance with the necessary timetable.

Council Letter No. 267
Agenda September 11, 1978
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: L /H4N Public Improvements Change Orders
There is an item on the September 11, 1978 city council
agenda relating to change orders for County Project No. 7625,
the street improvements being undertaken as part of the L /H /N
project.
Both of the change orders recommended in this council
letter relate to storm sewer construction on 65th Street. The
first change order represents an addition to the contract in the
amount`of $5,668. It has been determined that the storm sewer
construction on 65th Street will necessitate the removal and
replacement of certain traffic signal poles, bases, conduits and
wiring on the north side of the 65th Street and Lyndale Avenue
intersection. The purpose of this change order is to cover
the cost of removal and replacement of those items.
The second change order would increase the construction con-
tract by $8,000. The purpose of this change order is to extend
the new storm sewer on 65th Street an additional 150 feet for the
purpose of adding catch basins at the low point on 65th Street
between Grand Avenue and Pleasant Avenues. The additional 150
feetof storm sewer would be 18" sewer constructed to the point of
termination at the new catch basins. This additional storm sewer
protection had been requested by the owner of an apartment build-
ing on the north side of 65th Street, which along with the tele-
phone company building, is the lowest building in the area. Our
consulting engineers considered several alternative ways of pro-
viding additional storm s -ewer protection in this area and have
recommended this change order as the most economical way of mini-
mizing flooding potential on 65th Street. It will be a benefit
to adjacent property owners.
It is the recommendation of the public works director, in
which I concur, that the city council approve both of the change
orders described herein.

Subject: Ordinance Amendment Relating to Bonding
Of Automobile Dealers, First Reading
The State of Minnesota has adopted legislation which re-
quires the bonding of automobile dealers to the exclusion of
any local bond requirements. Richfield city ordinance current-
ly requires all motor vehicle dealers to obtain bonds. Although
the state legislation now requires automobile dealers to be
bonded by the state, the state has not provided for bonding of
the sales of motor bike dealers. Therefore, the city attorney
has drafted a proposed ordinance amendment which would retain
the local requirement for bonding of motor bike dealers and all
other motor vehicle dealers except those motor vehicle dealers
required under state law to obtain bonds.
A copy of the proposed ordinance amendment is attached.
It is recommended that the city council give first reading con-
sideration to this proposed ordinance amendment at the September
11, 1978 city council meeting.

Subject: Hearing on Assessment Rolls for 1977
Street Improvment Project No. 686,
Areas No. 12 and 14
September 11, 1978 has been scheduled as the hearing date
on the assessment rolls for the 1977 permanent street improve-
ment construction project. This hearing-will cover the con-
struction work performed in Citv Project No. 686 in areas Nos.
12 and 14 as shown on the attached map. Area No. 12 is the area
from 62nd Street to 66th Street between Nicollet Avenue and 35W,
and area 14 is the Rich Acres area adjacent to the Metropolitan
Airports Commission property. ,�v kf,gi
Each property owner to be assessed for this street improve-
ment work has received two letters from the city. The first
letter requested the proper y owners o a vise tie city of any
defects or problems concerning the project of which they might
be aware. Each response to that initial letter has either been
answered through corrective work already completed or scheduled,
or through an explanation to the resident describing the circum-
stances involved in his particular situation. A second letter
has also been sent, advising property owners of the date and
time of the assessment hearing. This letter included the amount
of the assessment, and a description of the alternative means
by which the assessment could be paid.
Approximately 360 parcels are included in the 1977 project
areas Nos. 12 and 14. The assessment rolls for this project
have been calculated in accordance with the street improvement
assessment policy adopted by the city council in June, 1970. An
important element in the citywide street improvement project, is
the position of the city council that the assessment policy ad-
opted in 1970 will remain in effect until completion of the entire
project. This means that all property owners will receive equal
treatment for assessment, using standardized criteria. Previous

Subject: Request for Authorization to Call for Bids
The 1978 budget for the public safety department's emergency
services division provides funding for the upgrading and install-
ation of sirens included in the city's civil defense warning
system. It is anticipated that one civil defense siren will be
replaced and three sirens relocated this year and for the next
two years under a program whereby the federal government will
provide reimbursement for 75 percent of the cost of this upgrad-
ing and siren installation. At the completion of this three year
program, the city will have three new sirens, and have all exist-
ing sirens relocated so that the warning system is distributed
evenly throughout the community.
The public safety director has recently received word that
federal funds will be available shortly to support the 1978 portion
of our siren improvement project. Therefore, it is the recomm-
endation of the public safety director, in which I concur, that
the city council authorize the advertisement for bids for the 1978
siren warning system improvement project.

cooperative effort.
I believe I could serve effectively on the Commission by working with others
to make their ideas and my own become realities of value, especially in the sphere
of helping very elderly and /or handicapped shut -ins whose social, religious, and
possibly even economic hungers need assuagement. Avenues of discovering these
people could be by working through the churches and by using, if available, the
census presently being conducted by the League of T;_Tomen Voters in Richfield.
Another facet of help could come through working with an Academy of the Holy
Angels instructor who is specializing in the problem of illiteracy in communities
and who would be interested in working with the Commission, should illiteracy be
a problem the members would wish to address.

Council Letter No. 274
Agenda September 11, 1978
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Preliminary Plat Approval, Wilmar
Henrickson Addition
An application for approval of a preliminary plat has been
submitted by Wilmar Henrickson. The proposed plat would subdivide
the property located at 7409 Sheridan Avenue into Block 1, lots
1 -6, Wilmar Henrickson Addition. The applicant has also requested
a variance to the minimum lot width requirements of the subdivision
regulations.
The following items are attached to this council letter:

sq. ft each)
Required Min. Lot Width: 75 feet
Proposed lot Width: 68.75 feet

Required Min. Lot Area: 8,000 square feet
Proposed Lot Area: 9,244 square feet
Site Zoning and Land Use:Single Family Residential
Surrounding Zoning and
Land Use: N- Single family residential
E- Single family residential.
W- Single family residential
S- Public (Lincoln Hills School)
Proposed Use: Single family dwellings
Staff Review
The staff has reviewed the proposal against the conditions
for plat approval, and made the following findings:
Council Letter No. 274 -2-
September 11, 1978
Streets - Streets have already been established in the area and
the proper street easements appear in the legal description.
Easements - The plat indicates that proper five -foot easements are
present on side and rear lot lines.
Lot Size - The proposed subdivision of land would create lots which
are substandard in terms of the city's subdivision ordinance. The
lots are proposed to have lot widths of 68.75 feet rather than the
75 foot width required by ordinance (Section 3.57, subdivision 1).
The lots would, however, meet the minimum lot area requirements. The
subdivided lots would have areas of 9,244 square feet, which is
1,244 square feet over the minimum 8,000 square foot lot size re-
quirement.
Lot standards are established to ensure proper spacing of build-
ings, to allow proper circulation of air, proper penetration of light,
sufficient access to structures by emergency equipment, separation
of structures from negative noise and pollution impacts of streets,
and to provide open space amenities.
The city's subdivision regulations, in Section 3.58, allows the
council to vary subdivision requirements under the following con-
ditions:
"Whenever the tract to be subdivided or platted is of
such unusual size or shape, or is surrounded by such
development or unusual conditions that the strict applica-
tion of the requirements contained in this part would re-
sult in a substantial hardship or injustice, the council
may vary or modify such requirements so that the subdivider
is allowed to develop his property in a reasonable manner,
but in such a manner that the public welfare and interests
of the city and surrounding area are protected and the
general intent and spirit of these regulations are preserved."
It is the opinion of the staff that the requested variance
should be granted. While most lots in the area in which the site
is located are 75 -foot wide lots, the proposed 68.75 lots would be
larger than the 46 -foot wide residential lots adjacent to the site
on the north and would be in character with typical lot sizes
within Richfield as a whole. The 68.75 foot width would still allow
for the development of dwellings of similar size as those in the
surrounding area. If the variance were denied the applicant could
potentially suffer a financial hardship in that fewer lots could be
developed, which would raise the sales price of the lots and reduce
their marketability.
It is a goal of the city to provide housing to people of a
variety of income levels. As the price of housing rises, fewer
families can afford new single family dwellings. To accomplish
the above mentioned goal, the city should, therefore, encourage
developments which provide affordable housing. If the variance
were granted, the applicant could develop the property in a manner
which would be in character for the City of Richfield, which would
Council Letter No. 274 -3- September 11, 1978
meet the intent of the subdivision regulations, and which would
make the proposed development more affordable to more families.
Utilities - The water and sanitary sewer lines in the area are
sufficient to handle the proposed development. There is, however,
a drainage problem in the area. The topography of the land is such
that water drains down the center of the parcel onto Russell Avenue
and pools on the adjacent school property. A storm sewer line
exists on Sheridan Avenue, but there is none on Russell Avenue.
The applicant will install a 12 -inch storm sewer line and
catch basin tied to the existing 24 inch storm sewer line on Sher-
idan Avenue. The lots will be filled and graded so that water will
drain to the proposed catch basin with the exception of the front
part of the lots along Russell Avenue, which will drain to Russell
Avenue and then to the school property. A small portion of the lots
adjacent to the school property.will also drain to the school property.
The proposed residences will be located at elevations which should
prevent basement flooding even if the adjacent school property were
to be filled and developed. The public works director has determin-
ed that these improvements should alleviate any major potential
drainage problems.
Other - A sidewalk does not currently exist along Russell Avenue,
although the site's proximity to the Lincoln Hills School indicates
a need for a sidewalk.
The applicant should be encouraged to preserve as many of the
trees and bushes on the site as is feasible to maintain the aesthetic
appearance of the site.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the above findings, the staff recommends that the
city council take the following actions:
1. Approve the preliminary plat subject to the following:
A. That a sidewalk be put in along Russell Avenue to
improve pedestrian access to Lincoln Hills School
B. That a variance to the minimum lot width require-
ments be obtained
2. Grant a variance to the minimum lot width requirements
of the subdivision regulations
Planning Commission Recommendation
The planning commission reviewed this case at their regular
meeting of August 22, 1978. No residents appeared at the meeting.
The planning commission discussed possible ways of correcting the
Council Letter No. 274 -4- September 11, 1978
drainage problem.
The planning commission recommended that the city council
approve the preliminary plat and grant the variance to the minimum
lot width requirements.

Subdivision 1. Streets. Before the approval of any plat or subdivision, it
shall be checked as to measurements of all lots, streets and public lands. All
proposed streets on such plat or subdivision shall conform to the street plan
of the city as hereinafter specified. In considering requirements for the
location and width of streets, consideration may be given to the prospective
character of the development, and reasonable conditions and requirements for

Several weeks ago., the city council authorized the sale of
certain city owned lots in the New Ford Town area. The necess-
ary legal paperwork for conveyance of these properties to the
purchasers is now underway. However, the sale of Lots 21 and 23,
in Block 14, has not yet been completed because of some legal
questions surrounding the status of the deed to the property.
The city attorney has prepared the attached resolution
providing for conveyance of the deed to these properties. It is
the recommendation of the city attorney, in which I concur, that
the city council adopt this resolution authorizing conveyance of
the property in accordance with the previously authorized award
of bid for sale of the property.

Subject: Application for On -Sale and Sunday Liquor
Licenses, Too Good's Restaurant
At the August 28, 1978 city council meeting, the city council
set September 11, 1978 as the date for a public hearing on the
request for on -sale and Sunday liquor licenses to be issued to
Too Good's Restaurant, 1200 E. 78th Street.
The application for these liquor licenses was submitted by
Mr. David P. Webb, co- chairman and secretary for Wepo, Inc. Mr.
Donald E. Pollard, co- chairman; and Mr. Frederick W. Webb, Jr.,
will also be principals in the proposed operation. The applica-
tion has been properly verified by the city clerk in accordance
with ordinance requirements. All necessary information has been
filed with the application.
The application for on -sale and Sunday liquor licenses for
Too Good's Restaurant is a new application. On August 28, 1978,
the city council approved a special use permit, variance and off -
street parking permit to enable Wepo, Inc. to construct the 200
seat Too Good's Restaurant at 1200 E. 78th Street. The present
application for liquor licenses is to permit the serving of liq-
uor at that restaurant.

The report prepared by the public safety department indicates

field business have criminal backgrounds. The public safety
director has examined the financial statements of the principals
and found them to be in order.
The public safety department has identified a possible prob-
lem relating to the manager of the applicant's establishment.
Council Letter No. 271 -2- September 11, 1978
Richfield city ordinance requires that the manager of a' licensed
liquor establishment be a Richfield resident. The application
submitted by Mr. Webb does not name a resident manager for the
proposed restaurant. The applicant has been informed of the ordin-
ance requirement that a Richfield resident manage the restaurant.
Accountant's Report
The on -sale liquor ordinance requires that the applicant file
with the city a statement prepared by a certified public account-
ant which shows the total gross sales and the total food sales of
the preceding 12 -month period. The purpose of obtaining this in-
formation is that the state statutes require that the serving of
food be a principal part of the business of a restaurant which
has an on -sale liquor license, although this statutory requirement
does not include a definition of the phrase "principal part of
business."

cant to insure that the proposed operation is in compliance with
applicable health and safety laws. In addition, routine environ-
mental health inspections and fire prevention inspections will be
conducted at the establishment once construction is completed and
the restaurant opens for business.
Off- Street Parking Contract Revisions
The city council on August 28, 1978 approved an off-street
parking contract for Too Good's Restaurant. The approved off -
street parking contract includes a variance to the required 15-
foot setback to permit additional parking spaces to those exist-
ing on the site, and will meet the city requirements for off -
street parking.

Subject: LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION
TOO GOOD'S RESTAURANT
Pursuant to the provisions of city ordinance code 11.06, we have conducted
the required background investigations relative to the application for a
liquor license for Too Good's restaurant which has been proposed to be
located at 1200 East 78th Street. The restaurant will be operated by
Wepo, Inc. of Richfield which will be a subsidiary of Wepo, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation. The parent corporation is currently registered
with the Minnesota Secretary of State and authorized to operate in Minnesota
with the following officers: Donald E. Pollard, Co- Chairman; David P. Webb,
Co- Chairman and Secretary. The proposed restaurant corporation for Richfield
will have the above two parties as officers. Additionally, a Frederick W.
Webb, Jr. will also be a principal in the proposed Richfield operation.
We have conducted the required criminal background checks on all three
parties and have found no criminal history backgrounds. We have also
examined the financial statements of the principals and find them to be
in order. We further believe that the financial statements indicate
adequate resources to finance the proposed Richfield operation.
We have also looked into the experience of other restaurants operated
by this corporation. These include the Original Pancake House in Edina
and the My Pie restaurants in Golden Valley, Minnesotai Boulder, Colorado
and Norwalk, Connecticut. In our contacts with the jurisdictions in which
each of these businesses is located, we have found no indication of problems
created by the business activity within these communities.
The only concern remaining with the application, as far as the Public
Safety Department is concerned, involves the fact that a resident manager
has not been named for the proposed Richfield operation. Additionally,
we do have some concern about the increased volume of traffic that will
be created in a predominately residential area by the operation of this
business. However, based on the traffic studies done by the applicant,
it would not appear that the increased traffic will create a major public
safety hazard.
Exclusive of the two concerns mentioned above, there would not appear to
be a basis, from the standpoint of the Public Safety Department, to deny
this license application.

Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 269
Agenda September 11, 1978
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Amendment to Year IV Community Block
Grant•Budget
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently
approved Richfield's Year IV (August, 1978 through July, 1979)
Community Block Grant application as part of the Hennepin County
entitlement grant. However, the funds to be received by Richfield
have been reduced and it is, therefore, necessary to propose an
amendment in the city's Year IV budget.
The reduction in the city's Year IV funds is due to an over-
all reduction in the amount of money-received in the Hennepin
County entitlement grant. That reduction is due in turn to the
fact that more counties in the country have become eligible to
receive urban county entitlement grants and the limited appropri-
ation must, therefore, be spread over a greater number of partici-
pants.
The City of Richfield's grant request for Year IV was in the
amount of $361,692. The approved application amounted to $328,076.
Therefore, it is necessary for the city council to amend the Year
IV community block grant budget to reflect this $33,616 reduction.
It is the recommendation of the planning and redevelopment director
that the budget be amended as follows:
Planning
Land Acquisition
Housing Rehabilitation
Park Development
Total
Existing
Recommended
Budget
Budget
$ 51,692
$ 51,692
100,000
100,000
110,000
76, 384
100,000 100,000
$361,692 $328,076
This budget proposes that funding be cut from the housing r-
habilitation program. However, it is anticipated that this
decrease will not reduce the service level of the rehabilit-
programs. A portion of the community development rehabilit
funds are to be used for a Home Security Program, in which
detectors, solid core doors and deadbolt locks will be ins
in low and moderate income homes. By using YES for Rehah
to do the installation of these materials, the same numb,
homeowners can be assisted. The savings on installatior
c
Council Letter No. 269 -2- September 11, 1978
should cover the $33,616 funding reduction. The YES for Rehab
Program is funded by CETA for labor costs, and the community
development block grant program for material costs.
Although this CETA program was scheduled to terminate on
September 30, 1978, Hennepin County has recently indicated that a
new CETA grant request which we are currently filing will make it
possible to continue the YES for Rehab project through at least
January 31, 1979. Since Year IV of the block grant program runs
from August, 1978 through July, 1979, continuation of CETA fund-
ing for YES for Rehab through January should enable completion of
most rehab work planned for the'Home Security Program. The county
has also indicated that a reduced level of funding may be available
through CETA to support this program even beyond January 31, 1979.
It is recommended.'that the city council approve this amended
budget and authorize the city manager to file it with Hennepin
County.

Subject: Request for Off-Street Parking
Contract, 7715 Fourth Avenue
Lamont Jankard, 7715 Fourth Avenue, has applied for per-
mission to establish an off - street parking lot at this address.
The applicant is planning to use part of his existing single
family residence at that address for a beauty salon.
This residence and beauty salon business is located in a
general industrial zoning district where it is a permitted use.
The property is bounded on the south by Richfield Plumbing
Company and on the north by a multiple residence. The proposal
submitted by the applicant provides for a driveway access from
Fourth Avenue and four parking spaces to be constructed parallel
