Nicollet and Lyndale and 66th Street.

Avenue, discussions that were had with the school district, and the impacts of roundabouts for people
with disabilities.
Public Works Director Asher discussed the use of successive roundabouts limits the impacts
on properties along the corridor, the issues heard about left turns from Lake Shore Drive, and using
the roundabouts to access properties by using the roundabouts to do a u-turn, instead of having left
turns. She also discussed the pedestrians will only need to cross one lane of traffic to get the median
and then another lane to finish crossing the street. She commented on the discussions with schools
and the benefit of having more people crossing will improve yielding for pedestrians.
City Engineer Pearson added they look at peer communities, Edina and Bemidji, and Bemidji
has three roundabouts going; one into a high school and another into an elementary school. He also
stated safety is a priority and he wouldn’t recommend something that was a detriment.

roundabout and that they have the rapid flashing beacons and audible notifications that go with them.

E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The City of Richfield currently does not own/operate a salt storage facility and the most recent salt purchasing
agreement with MnD OT has expired. Entering into these types of partnerships has allowed the City to:
build a Public Works Maintenance Facility without a large salt storage area;
show consideration for the public interest by looking for more efficient, cost effective, and
environmentally conscious ways of providing services; and
reduce potential for unnecessary pollution problems by avoiding redundant facilities.
This arrangement was in-place before the construction of the new Public W orks Maintenance Facility.

E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (D E E D) is accepting applications for
their semi-annual Redevelopment Grant Program. The Redevelopment Grant program offers grants to support

productive use. Applications are due on August 1, 2018.
City staff is proposing to submit a grant application requesting $750,000 for the Cedar Point I I Housing
project to assist with acquisition, demolition, and infrastructure costs.

Consideration of the approval of the first reading of an ordinance amending Section 300 of the Code of
Ordinances formally establishing a Finance Department and Director of Finance position within the
City organization and amending Subsection 315.11 to clarify the title of Director.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The department structure of the City of Richfield has been modified periodically to fit the needs of the
organization. Prior to 1979, the Finance Department was an independent department within City
administration. I n late 1979, the department structure of the City was changed featuring the combination of
several departments into few large departments. This change included the establishment of the Administrative
Services Department which incorporated the Finance, City Clerk/Deputy Registrar, Human Resources,
Assessing and Central Services/Data Processing functions (Divisions) into one department.
Over the years, some of the functions and their associated divisions have changed, been renamed or moved
from one department to another. The Administrative Services Department has also had changes, but
remained structured relatively the same since its creation. However, there has not been an Administrative
Services Director, since 2004 when then Administrative Services Director/Assistant City Manager Steven
Devich was promoted to the position of City Manager. The practical impact of that continued vacancy is that
the Finance division and Finance Manager have reported directly to the City Manager for the past 14 years.
This made good business sense in that from budgets to project spending to bonding, the City Manager and
the Finance Manager typically work closely together on such matters.
I n addition, changes in how the City provides services and staffs its functions provides the appropriate time to
formalize how the services have been delivered during the past few years and how they will likely be delivered
in the future. To that end, it is recommended that the Finance function be re-established as an independent
department. The new Finance Department would also handle those assessing functions that remain, after the
elimination of the Assessing Division and transfer of many of those duties to a contract-for-services with
Hennepin County Assessing.
Finally, it should be noted that most of the comparable cities to Richfield have a Finance Director, as it is
generally seen as a department level position.
The remaining divisions of the Administrative Services Department would continue to exist including Human
Resources, City Clerk/Deputy Registrar, Data Processing and Risk Management and Government Buildings.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Approve the first reading of an ordinance amending Section 300 of the Code of Ordinances
formally establishing a Finance Department and Director of Finance position within the City
organization and amending Subsection 315.11 to clarify the title of Director.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
Some historical background is contained in the Executive Summary section.
The Finance Department provides financial support services for all departments of the City, the
HRA and the E D A. I t is responsible for the safe fiscal management and processing of all
accounting transactions for all city, HRA, and E D A funds. This includes the daily financial
operations of processing accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and utility receipts.
I n addition, the department manages the investment of public funds and cash flow, the issuance
and management of debt of the city, and the preparation of periodic and annual financial reports.
The department coordinates the City, HRA, and E D A budget compilation and development,
manages the administration of special assessments, and coordinates and compiles the capital
improvement budget and plan.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
City Ordinance Section 300 of the City Code governs the establishment of departments in the
City and must be amended to initiate a change.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
W hile there is no deadline for this proposed change, the actual manner that the Administrative
Services Department has been managed for the past couple of years and the elimination of the
Assessing Division and subsequent absorption of the remaining duties into the Finance Division
make this an opportune time to make this change.
The City Manager would like to deal with this issue before leaving.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
The actual financial impact of this change is minimal as the salary of the Finance Division
Manager is very comparable to other City Department Director positions currently.
Additionally, the current budget also provides for the salary of the Administrative Services Director
position.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION:
No such change can occur without the approved change in the City Ordinance Code.

Consideration of the adoption of a resolution granting an amendment to a planned unit development to
allow construction of a K-8 school at 6500 Nicollet Avenue (Bremer Bank site).
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Partnership Academy, a public charter school, has been based in Richfield since 2002, operating out of
leased space at Church of the Assumption (305 77th Street East). Partnership Academy (Applicant) has
been searching for a site to build a new school facility in Richfield for several years, and currently has the
Bremer Bank property at 6500 Nicollet Avenue under contract. The Applicant proposes to demolish the bank
building and construct a two-story school facility on the site. The proposed building and outdoor play area
would have frontage along Nicollet Avenue, with parking provided in surface lots to the west of the building and
adjoining existing parking areas for Hub Shopping Center. Bus circulation would make use of an existing
driveway south of the building. T he new school facility will allow the Applicant to increase enrollment
from the current 284 students in grades K-5 up to a maximum enrollment of approximately 470
students in grades K-8. If approved, demolition of the bank building would begin this fall, with the
new school building projected to be complete by May 2019.
The Bremer Bank building was constructed in 1967 and is part of a larger planned unit development (P UD)
along with the Hub Shopping Center and vacant grocery store site. The Applicant is requesting an
amendment to this P UD to allow construction of the school building. No other changes are proposed
elsewhere in the Hub P UD at this time. Deviations from code requirements are minimal and primarily relate to
adequate on-site parking supply for school staff. The Applicant has provided a narrative addressing their
parking needs, and a detailed discussion of parking requirements is included in the "Policies" section of this
report. Finding that the proposal meets requirements, staff recommends approval of the amended planned unit
development, conditional use permit and final development plan.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Adopt a resolution granting an amended planned unit development, conditional use permit,
and final development plans for a K-8 school at 6500 Nicollet Avenue.

Prior to construction of the bank building in 1967, Richfield Theater stood on this site from 1947-1967.
65th Street was realigned to its current route in 1979-1980, and its original alignment was vacated. The
site includes a portion of the vacated 65th Street, which formerly ran between the bank property and the
medical clinic building at 6440 Nicollet Avenue.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
Comprehensive Plan:
As part of the Comprehensive Plan update (Richfield 2040) a market study and small area plan were
completed for the Nicollet & 66th area, including the Hub and Bremer Bank properties. The
Comprehensive Plan designates the area as 'Mixed Use'. The addition of a school to this area is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, as schools are permitted in the Mixed Use and General
Commercial zoning districts. Existing businesses and potential future businesses in the immediate area
could be positively impacted by the influx of school employees and parents shopping and/or dining in the
area.
Planned Unit Development / Conditional Use Permit / Final Development Plan: There are a
number of sets of review criteria that apply to this proposal. A full discussion of all requirements is
included as an attachment to this report. The following variations from standard requirements are
requested:
Parking requirements for a K-8 school are one space per employee, plus eight visitor spaces. 50
parking spaces are proposed on site. The applicant has indicated in the attached narrative that the
projected staffing level will be 63 employees at the time of opening in fall of 2019, and could grow to a
maximum of 75 employees by 2024. Parking requirements can be reduced by 10% at this location for
proximity to frequent public transit service. The projected employee counts result in an initial requirement
of 64 spaces, and 75 spaces at full capacity in 2024. The applicant's narrative states that the 50 spaces
provided on-site will be sufficient for current staffing levels, and that they are working with Hub Shopping
Center ownership to obtain a cross-access agreement to use surplus parking on the Hub site. A
stipulation in the attached resolution requires the applicant to provide a minimum of 64 parking spaces
(either through on-site construction, an agreement with adjacent property owners, or some combination
thereof) prior to opening. I ncreased enrollment (above 380 students) will require either a parking
utilization study to confirm excess parking or the securing of additional off-site parking, as approved by
the Community Development Director.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
60-D AY RUL E: The 60-day clock started when a complete application was received on J une 11, 2018. A
decision is required by August 10, 2018 or the Council must notify the Applicant that it is extending the
deadline (up to a maximum of 60 additional days or 120 days total) for issuing a decision.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
The required application fees have been paid.

Required Findings
Part 1: The following findings are necessary for approval of a PUD application (542.09
Subd. 3):
1. The proposed development conforms to the goals and objectives of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and any applicable redevelopment plans. This requirement is
met. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for mixed use development. The
proposed building and use would replace a bank building.
2. The proposed development is designed in such a manner as to form a desirable and
unified environment within its own boundaries. This requirement is met. The
proposed building has been designed to function in a substantially similar manner as
the building it replaces, incorporating bus circulation into the existing Nicollet Avenue
drive aisle shared with Hub Shopping Center.
3. The development is in substantial conformance with the purpose and intent of the
guiding district, and departures from the guiding district regulations are justified by
the design of the development. This requirement is met. The purpose of the guiding
C-2 (General Commercial) District is to allow a wide variety of uses serving Richfield
and the surrounding area. These uses are expected to be attractive in appearance
from all sides and compatible with adjacent properties through compliance with the
Performance Standards specified in Zoning Code Section 544.
4. The development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets or
other public facilities and utilities that serve or area proposed to serve the
development. The City’s Public Works, Engineering and Recreation Departments
have reviewed the proposal and do not anticipate any issues.
5. The development will not have undue adverse impacts on neighboring properties.
No undue adverse impacts are anticipated.
6. The terms and conditions proposed to maintain the integrity of the plan are sufficient
to protect the public interest. This requirement is met; appropriate stipulations have
been incorporated into the final resolution.
Part 2: All uses are conditional uses in the PC-2 District. The findings necessary to
issue a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) are as follows (547.09, Subd. 6):
1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. See above – Part 1, #1.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the
purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed
use. The purpose of the Zoning Code is to protect and promote the general welfare
of the City. The proposal does not conflict with this purpose. The purpose of
Planned Unit Developments is to provide an opportunity for innovative and creative
development. The proposed building will replace an existing building within the PUD
and does not conflict with this purpose.
3. The proposed use is consistent with any officially adopted redevelopment plans or
urban design guidelines. The proposed use is similar to the previous use and is
consistent with the previously adopted Planned Unit Development for this area.
4. The proposed use is or will be in compliance with the performance standards
specified in Section 544 of this code. The proposed development is in substantial
compliance with City performance standards, except the following deviations from
requirements:
5. Parking requirements for a K-8 school are one space per employee, plus eight visitor
spaces. 50 parking spaces are proposed on site. The applicant has indicated in the
attached narrative that the projected staffing level will be 63 employees at the time of
opening in fall of 2019, and could grow to a maximum of 75 employees by 2024.
Parking requirements can be reduced by 10% at this location for proximity to
frequent public transit service. The projected employee counts result in an initial
requirement of 64 spaces, and 75 spaces at full capacity in 2024. The applicant's
narrative states that the 50 spaces provided on-site will be sufficient for current
staffing levels, and that they are working with Hub Shopping Center ownership to
obtain a cross-access agreement to use surplus parking on the Hub site. A
stipulation in the attached resolution requires the applicant to provide a minimum of
64 parking spaces (either through on-site construction, an agreement with adjacent
property owners, or some combination thereof) prior to opening.
While the amount of open space and pervious area is increased, the proposal
provides six fewer trees than required for a site of this size. This shortfall is due to
preserving much of the existing parking lot in the northwest corner of the site as-is,
and a desire to provide usable open space for play. Due to shared parking lot drive
aisles with the abutting Hub Shopping Center, the property does not include
landscaped areas along its western and southern perimeter. Hub Shopping Center
itself is nonconforming in regards to parking lot landscaping standards.
6. The proposed use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities,
utilities, services, or existing or proposed improvements. The City’s Public Works
and Engineering Departments have reviewed the proposal and do not anticipate any
adverse impacts.
7. The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the public health, safety, or welfare.
Adequate provisions have been made to protect the public health, safety and
welfare.
8. There is a public need for such use at the proposed location. See above – Part 1,
#1. Partnership Academy has been located in Richfield since 2002 and has sought
to construct a new school facility for many years.
9. The proposed use meets or will meet all the specific conditions set by this code for
the granting of such conditional use permit. This requirement is met.

Dear Melissa,
Attached are the final documents related to the expectations outlined in the Administrative
Review Committee (ARC) Report dated May 11, 2018. Thank you to you and your team for
working with us to make the needed changes in order meet the requirements and expectations
outlined in the report.
Additionally, below I have included the specifics related to parking that was discussed last
Friday, June 8, 2018 with Karl Jentoft and Ben Ford over the phone.
Narrative regarding Staffing and Parking:
Staffing:
Partnership Academy currently has 57 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. We
anticipate we will have 63 employees when we open at 6500 Nicolette Avenue South in the fall of
2019. At full capacity, in 2024, we project we may have up to 75 employees.
Parking:
While we can accommodate all the required parking on our property, we prefer to build 50
parking spaces and use some of our current parking lot as a playground. We currently have 8-10
staff members who use public transportation and do not park a car at our facility. With the new
location at 6500 Nicolette Avenue South, we anticipate this number will increase to about 15 due
to the improved public transportation options in the area. We are also in discussions with
Brixmor, the developer who owns the HUB, to obtain a cross parking agreement. They have
been very supportive and we hope to have something in writing shortly. While they thought we
may currently have a prescriptive right to park in the lot already, we have asked to obtain
something in writing. If the 50 proposed parking spaces do not meet our needs and we are not
able to find additional parking offsite, we are willing to create more parking spaces on our
current lot.
If there is anything further that we can provide regarding our development project please let me know.
Sincerely,
Lisa Hendricks
Executive Director

Partnership Academy is a Preschool -5th grade public charter school that has been operating in
Richfield at the Church of the Assumption at 305 East 77th Street since 2002.Partnership
Academy also operates a preschool program at a separate location in Minneapolis at 2539
Pleasant Avenue South due to limited space at its current site .Partnership Academy serves a
total of 284 students from predominately low-income communities. Partnership Academy is
currently in its sixteenth year of operation and is authorized by the Audubon Center of the
North Woods.
Partnership Academy’s current facility does not have the capacity to meet the needs of the
preschool program and the growing Partnership Academy program. Additionally, the current
space has very limited green and play space and students have been limited to a black top
parking lot for play space. The existing facility also needs significant updates and improvements
that the current landlord has been unwilling to pay for.
Partnership Academy, through the Partnership Academy Association Building Company, has
been looking for a permanent home since 2007. Partnership Academy Association Building
Company is under contract to purchase and develop the Bre mmer Bank property located next
to the HUB shopping center at 6500 Nicollet Avenue South to become the permanent campus
for Partnership Academy.This site is affordable and works within the school’s budget.
Partnership Academy Association Building Company is planning to finance this project using tax
exempt bonds with Piper Jaffray as its bond underwriter and hopes to close on the purchase by
the end of June 2018.Development management and consulting is being provided by
TenSquare.
The new facility will enable the Partnership Academy to consolidate its preschool program and
elementary school into one facility.Additionally, the school plans to expand its program from
5th grade to 8th grade in order to meet the demands of current families. The school plans to add
one grade level each school year, retaining current fifth graders for sixth grade in the 2018 -
2019 school year. By expanding organically to eighth grade, Partnership Academy projects a
maximum enrollment of 470 students by the 2023-2024 school year.
The new facility will be located on a 1.8 acre site at 6500 Nicolette Avenue South in Richfield,
Minnesota. The site is close to current Partnership Academy families, is close to a large city
park, is easily accessible for families and provides adequate parking.Partnership Academy
Building Corporation will demolish the existing building late this summer and plans to start
construction early in the fall.The planned 40,022 square foot building will be new, ground up
construction with 23 classrooms, 18 pullout spaces for small group learning, a 6,480 sf
gymnasium, a serving kitchen, outdoor play space, associated office and administrative space,
and restrooms.

Partnership Academy Association Building Corporation has engaged RMD Architects for initial
architectural services. RMD has completed a conceptual site plan and conceptual drawings
based on the programmatic and physical needs of Partnership Academy. RMD is currently
developing full architectural plans for the Project that are scheduled to be completed by May
15, 2018. The Project is projected to begin construction by September 2018 and be completed
by May 2019.
True to its namesake, Partnership Academy has built many strong community partnerships over
the last sixteen years.Most notably in the last year, Partnership Academy:
Played a key role during the Seasons Park apartment transition to a new owner, Aeon,
last fall
In partnership with the City and other community organizations,Partnership Academy
held several listening sessions at the school for current residents regarding the Seasons
Park sale
Assisted City Council Woman Maria Regan Gonzalez with organizing a bus tour and site
visit to some of Aeon’s other properties for current residents to become more familiar
with the new owner’s rental properties
Provided several bilingual staff to provide support to residents at Season’s Park/Aeon
during the transition process
Partnered with the City of Richfield Park and Recreation Department and Recreation
Services Director Jim Topitzhofer to secure the US Bank Places to Play grant in the
amount of $38,000 to support the completion of the Richfield Community Band Shell at
Veteran’s Park
Partnership Academy believes this project is a great opportunity to meet the needs of its
current students and allows the school to meet the demands for growth from its stakeholders.
Additionally, the project will be an opportunity to bring new families into the city and the
projected growth plans will provide additional jobs and resources to the co mmunity.Some of
these resources include:ESL classes for adults, La Red Childcare Network training, healthy
living classes with Fairview Southdale Hospital, University of Minnesota, CLUES and continued
community service partnerships with City of Richfiel d officials.
This project is a great fit for Partnership Academy and will greatly benefit the overall Richfield
Community.

Subject: Partnership Academy, Richfield, MN
Mr. Jentoft:
We are in receipt of your plans for the proposed Partnership Academy Association at 6500
Nicollet Avenue South, Richfield, Minnesota.
As you are aware, we own the immediately adjacent shopping center known as “The Hub”. As
we discussed, Brixmor is evaluating a redevelopment of the The Hub. Such redevelopment will
be a long term, multi-phased development.
The reason for this email is to let Partnership Academy know we look forward to being their
neighbors and look forward to working with you in the future. Brixmor realizes that we both
synergistically utilize a shared ingress/egress drive and that cross -parking occurs between our
respective properties without a formal cross-access & parking agreement.
We foresee no reason that such activity cannot continue to occur temporarily until such time we
formalize an agreement in the future.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Consideration of the appointments of two adult members to the Human Rights Commission.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
On J uly 10, a commissioner on the Human Rights Commission submitted their resignation from the
Commission due to a change in employment and inability to attend Commission meetings.
During the December 2017/J anuary 2018 recruitment period for the advisory commissions, four residents
submitted applications and listed a preference for the Human Rights Commission, but were not selected for
appointment to a commission. Staff emailed these applicants asking if they were still interested in serving on
the Commission and all four applicants stated they were still interested in serving. A City Council work session
was held earlier tonight to review the applications and discuss appointment of an applicant.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Appoint two persons to the Human Rights Commission with a term expiring on January 31,
2019, and January 31, 2020.
