Consideration of the adoption of a resolution approving a Fair Housing Policy.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The federal Fair Housing Act (F HA) prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of race/color, national
origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. I n addition, the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) adds
the following protected classes: sexual orientation, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, and
creed.
Cities have two obligations under the F HA. First, cities must refrain from intentional discrimination
because of someone's protected class status, called disparate treatment. Second, city policies and
practices cannot have a greater effect on protected classes, called disparate impact. If a city
receives federal funds related to housing or urban development (e.g., Section 8, Community
Development Block Grant funds), it has a third obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.
T he Metropolitan Council is recommending that cities adopt local fair housing policies to actively
affirm their obligations to furthering fair housing and ensuring access to and availability of housing
for all.
Based on that recommendation, staff is proposing the adoption of a local Fair Housing Policy
(Policy) in which the City, Housing and Redevelopment Authority (H R A), and Economic
Development Authority (EDA) will commit to the following external and internal practices:
1. Intake and referral of fair housing complaints. (Note: the City does not have the authority to
process or decide fair housing complaints but can provide links and referrals to appropriate
resources.)
2. Make available online and in-person information regarding fair housing in the native languages
of its residents.
3. Train staff and officials on fair housing.
4. Conduct periodic analyses of the City's housing inventory and codes.
5. Consider fair housing issues when reviewing development proposals and apply the City's
Inclusionary Housing Policy to developments receiving City/HRA/EDA financial assistance.
6. Seek community input, particularly from underrepresented members of the community, with regard to
fair housing, zoning, and development issues.
The City, HRA, and E D A currently do many of these activities, and adopting a Policy affirms these practices
and makes our intentions transparent. I n addition, the Policy furthers the goal of creating a community that
advances equity and inclusion for all its residents.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Adopt a resolution approving a Fair Housing Policy.
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
Many of the City's residents who are renters fall under one or more of the F HA's protected
classes and may be more likely to face issues relating to fair housing. The City, HRA, and E D A
have undertaken a variety of efforts in the past year-and-a-half to support renters and strengthen
the City's apartment community. To date, the City, HRA and E D A have:
I ncreased funding for the Kids@Home Program.
Created an Apartment Remodeling Program.
Required projects receiving City/HRA/E D A assistance to not discriminate against Section
8 and provide advanced notice of sale.
Adopted building permit fee reductions for affordable housing.
Adopted a Tenant Protection Ordinance.
Adopted an I nclusionary Housing Policy.
Adoption of a local Policy continues these efforts.
The Metropolitan Council is requiring that cities adopt a local fair housing policy if they are to
participate in the Council's Livable Communities Act Demonstration Grant Program (Program).
This Program is an important source of funding for development projects, and the City has
received several grants under this Program in the past and anticipates applying for and receiving
grants in the future.
The proposed Policy is based on a model policy developed by the Housing J ustice Center and
recommended by the Metropolitan Council.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The FHA prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of race/color, national origin, religion, sex,
familial status, and disability. The City is obligated to follow the F HA, and as a recipient of federal
housing and community development funds, the City and HRA are required to affirmatively further
fair housing.
For the past two years, one of the goals of the City Council has been to provide an environment of
equity and inclusion. The proposed local Fair Housing Policy furthers that goal.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The HRA approved the Policy on November 19, 2019. Because the HRA administers the City's
housing programs and provides recommendations on housing-related policies to the City, the HRA
was asked to review the Policy first and forward the Policy to the City Council and E D A.
The E D A will consider adoption of the Policy at its next meeting, anticipated in J anuary 2019.
The Cedar Point I I project received a Livable Communities Development Act (L C D A) grant of
$1.2 million. The funds will not be able to be spent until a local Policy is adopted.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
Existing staff will be used to carry out the responsibilities established in the Policy.
Many of the activities are things the City is already doing and paying for (e.g., periodically
reviewing housing inventory).
Training will have costs associated with it; however, staff have not yet identified what that training
and those costs will be. Regional efforts are underway to develop appropriate training that would
be available locally at a reasonable cost.
The Cedar Point I I project has been awarded an LC D A grant of $1.2 million. Failure to adopt a
local Policy will make the City ineligible to receive the grant, which will cause a significant financial
hardship for the project.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION:
The proposed Policy is consistent with the federal Fair Housing Act and the obligations the City
has as a recipient of federal Section 8 and Community Development Block Grant funds.
The City Attorney has reviewed the Policy.

Fair Housing Policy
1. Purpose/Vision
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act establishes federal policy for providing fair housing throughout
the United States. The intent of Title VIII is to ensure equal housing opportunities for all citizens.
Furthermore, the City of Richfield, as a recipient of federal funds, is obligated to certify that it
will affirmatively further fair housing.
The City of Richfield strives to advance its commitment to inclusion and equity by developing
this Fair Housing Policy to further the goal of creating a community where all residents will
thrive.
2. Fair Housing Policy Statement
It is the policy and commitment of the City of Richfield to ensure that fair and equal housing
opportunities are available to all persons in all housing opportunities and development activities
funded by the city regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status,
status with regard to public assistances, familial status, national origin, or disability. This is done
through external policies to provide meaningful access to fair housing information and referral
services for all constituents and through internal practices and procedures that promote fair
housing throughout the community.
3. External Practices
a. Intake and Referral
The City of Richfield has designated the Multi-Family Housing Specialist as the
responsible authority for the intake and referral of all fair housing complaints. At a
minimum, the Multi-Family Housing Specialist will be familiar with state and federal fair
housing laws, the complaint process for filing discrimination complaints, and the state
and federal agencies that handle complaints.
The date, time, and nature of the fair housing complaint and the referrals and
information given will be fully documented.
The Multi-Family Housing Specialist will advise the City Council on City programs and
policies affecting fair housing and identify issues and concerns where appropriate.
b. Meaningful Access
i. Online Information. The City of Richfield will display information about
fair housing prominently on its website. The website will include links to
various fair housing resources, including the Department of Housing and
Urban Development, Minnesota Department of Human Rights, Mid-
Minnesota Legal Aid, and others, as well as links to state and federal fair
housing complaint forms.
ii. In-Person Information. The City of Richfield will provide fair housing
information to anyone requesting such information at the city offices.
Information provided will include:
1. A list of fair housing enforcement agencies;
2. Fair Housing: Equal Opportunity for All information booklet; and
3. Fair housing complaint forms for enforcement agencies.
iii. Languages. The City of Richfield is committed to providing information
in the native language of its residents. The City will provide information
in languages other than English as needed.
4. Internal Practices
The City of Richfield commits to the following steps to promote awareness and competency of
fair housing issues in all of its government functions.
a. Staff and Officials Training. The City will access available training to train its
staff and housing officials on fair housing considerations.
b. Housing Analysis. The City will review its housing inventory and community
needs periodically to examine the availability and affordability of both rental
and owner-occupied housing for all residents in order to have such information
available for future City actions.
c. Code Analysis. The City will review its municipal code periodically, to identify
impediments to accessing housing and any potential for disparate impact or
treatment.
d. Project Planning and Analysis. City planning functions and development review
will consider whether potential projects may perpetuate segregation or lead to
displacement of protected classes, and will apply the City’s Inclusionary Housing
Policy in the case of developments seeking financial assistance from the City.
e. Community Engagement. The City will seek community input, particularly from
underrepresented populations in the community, with regard to fair housing
issues, development, zoning, and land use changes facilitated by the City.
f. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. As a subrecipient of federal funds, the
City will, as requested by Hennepin County as the entitlement jurisdiction,
participate in the Regional Analysis of Impediments, as organized by the
regional Fair Housing Implementation Council (FHIC), an ad hoc coalition of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement jurisdictions and
others working together to affirmatively further fair housing. The City will
review the recommendations from the analysis for potential integration into
City planning documents, including the Comprehensive Plan and other
applicable documents.

Consideration of the adoption of a resolution appointing representatives to the Board of Directors of
the Richfield Tourism Promotion Board, Inc.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
On J une 25, 1990, the City Council approved an ordinance to levy a 3% tax on gross receipts of lodging from

Consideration of the adoption of a resolution authorizing an internal loan up to $900,000 to the Liquor
Fund for costs incurred in the remodeling of City municipal stores.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Beginning in 2013, the City began the process to reinvest in its municipal liquor operation. This reinvestment
would entail the remodeling and improvement of its four municipal liquor stores. The first store to be
remodeled was the north Lyndale store in 2013, with the Cedar location in 2015, and the Penn location in
2018.
I n addition, improvements are underway at the south Lyndale location that will continue into 2019. Cumulative
costs incurred to date for the remodeling process total approximately $3.7 million, with an expected additional
$240,000 for the improvements at the south Lyndale location.
I t was determined at the beginning of the process that liquor operation revenues would be used to fund the
remodeling, with an internal loan also being a possibility to fund any final costs.
At this time, the Liquor Fund is in a cash deficit balance of approximately $800,000. However, it should be
noted that year to date the operation is reflecting a modest increase in sales, positive net income, and a solid
gross profit margin.
Therefore, staff is proposing an internal loan from the City’s Capital I mprovement Reserve Fund in an amount
up to $900,000, to fund the existing cash deficit balance.

Consideration of the approval of first reading of a transitory ordinance vacating a right-of-way
easement on property at 1401 76th Street West (Seven Hills Academy) and schedule a public hearing
and second reading for January 8, 2019.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Seven Hills Preparatory Academy, a public charter school, purchased the former Minnesota School of
Business property in 2017. The property, located at 1401 76th Street West, is subject to City and MnD OT
roadway easements for 76th Street. W hile conducting title work on the property, representatives for Seven
Hills discovered that the building's parking garage extends over the lot line and into the City's roadway
easement area. Seven Hills is now requesting that the City vacate a portion of the roadway easement. City
staff have reviewed the proposal and see no reason to maintain the full width of this roadway easement.
Vacating a portion of the easement area will have no impact on the 76th Street roadway. Utility easements will
be preserved for existing underground utilities in the area.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Approve first reading of a transitory ordinance vacating a right-of-way easement on
property at 1401 76th Street W est (Seven Hills Academy) and call for a public hearing and second

The City historically vacates right-of-way easements as a matter of policy, whenever that
easement does not contain any current or planned roadway infrastructure.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The City Council may vacate public easements in accordance with MN Statutes 412.851.
On November 13, 2018, the City received a petition from Seven Hills Preparatory Academy
(S HPA A B C) requesting partial vacation of this easement.
The City's current roadway easement area extends 30 feet beyond the lot line. Seven Hills is
requesting the vacation of a 35-foot strip of the easement (30 feet of which is inside their lot line,
plus an additional 5 feet to the north). Effectively, this will move the lot line 5 feet to the north.
MnD OT and the various public utility companies were consulted and none have objections to the
removal of this portion of the easement. Utility easement(s) will be preserved.
Normally, staff would not schedule one City Council to consider a first reading and a Council with
a different membership to consider the second reading. I n this case, however, this issue at hand
is so administrative and non-controversial in nature that it has been scheduled in this manner.

Consideration of land use approvals related to a proposal for a 183-unit apartment building on the
north side of 66th Street between Queen and Russell Avenues (future address: 2400 66th Street
West).
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Broadway I nvestors, LLC (Developer) has submitted an application for a planned unit development of a 183-
unit apartment building on the north side of 66th Street, between Queen and Russell Avenues. T his site has
been designated for high-density housing for many years, dating back to the 1982 Comprehensive
Plan.
T he Developer first presented preliminary concepts to the Planning Commission and City Council at
a Work Session on August 20, 2018. Policymakers indicated a desire for the Developer to seek
neighborhood input, to consider connectivity from the neighborhood to 66th Street, and the potential
impact of headlights entering and exiting the parking area. At a September 8 neighborhood open
house, the Developer presented a revised plan that reoriented the parking entrance away from the
adjacent neighborhood and introduced a roadway connection via Russell Avenue. Based on
feedback from these two meetings, the Developer submitted preliminary plans for a 4-story, 179-unit
apartment building for staff review in early October. Incorporating staff's technical and design
feedback, revised plans were submitted along with land use applications on October 25. T hese
plans were presented at a second neighborhood open house on November 3. After incorporating
additional suggestions from the neighborhood and staff, the developer submitted revised plans for
consideration by the Planning Commission.
After taking testimony at a public hearing on November 26, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the proposed development with a stipulation lowering the building height from 4 stories
to 3 stories along 65th 1/2 Street. In exchange, the Planning Commission consented to a building
height increase to 5 stories along the south and east elevations where it is not adjacent to single-
family homes. T he Developer has submitted revised plans for Council consideration that meet this
condition. While earlier plans included 179 dwelling units, revised plans include 183 units. T he
change from an all 4-story building to one that is a composite of 3-story and 5-story sections
necessitates a change in construction type, which significantly increases building costs. T he
inclusion of four additional units will help offset the increased project costs.
T he proposed development site and building are attractively designed, with tree-lined streets and
minimal views of surface parking, and building materials that are contemporary, but complementary
to the surrounding area. T he proposed building provides a number of amenities to its residents,
including a pool, fitness center, bicycle storage room, community rooms, and outdoor dog run. T he
Developer is also working with adjacent non-profit owner/operator Fraser to provide eight fully-
accessible units within the project. In response to the grade changes throughout the site which leave
the below-ground parking level exposed along 66th Street, the proposal includes a “storefront”
appearance to the bicycle and fitness amenity areas to help activate the streetscape. Two
underground parking levels provide parking at ratios that meet Code requirements. A study of how
traffic in the area is expected to flow is attached to this report. In addition to meeting the technical
requirements of the City and policies identified by the recently-approved Comprehensive Plan, the
proposed development meets a number of policies discussed in the attached "Market Rate Multi-
Family Housing Policy Statement," adopted by the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority
in 2015. T his includes a preference for projects located in areas near commercial and retail uses,
projects that provide a mix of unit sizes and amenities, those that promote community and an active
lifestyle via gathering spaces, pet areas, access to trails, bicycle amenities, etc.
T he current proposal is the result of an iterative process that has allowed for feedback from policy
makers, neighbors, and staff. Staff finds that the proposed project meets the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan and Code requirements, and therefore recommends approval of the proposed
project.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion:
1. Approve an ordinance amending Appendix I of the Richfield City Code to change the zoning
designation of Blocks 2 and 3, Harry Tickner's Subdivision of Lot 15, Richfield Gardens from
High-Density Residential (MR-3) and Single Family Residential (R) to Planned Multi-Family
Residential (P MR).
2. Adopt a re solution approv ing a Planne d Unit De ve lopment, Conditional Use Permit, and
Final Dev elopme nt Plan for a 183-unit apartme nt de ve lopment on the north side of 66th
Stree t betwee n Quee n and Russell Ave nues (future address 2400 66th Stre et We st).
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
Nearby blocks of Queen Avenue to the north and south of this site (64th Street to 67th Street)
have included apartment buildings since the 1960s.
The Comprehensive Plan has called for higher density housing on this site since (at least) 1982.
Richfield-based nonprofit Fraser owns and operates Sheridan Court, an affordable multi-family
housing development immediately west of the development site at 2500 66th Street W est.
The proposed development would be the first new multi-family apartment building constructed on
the city's west side since Sheridan Court in 1987, and the first market-rate apartment development
on the west side since the 1970s.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan is an expression of the community's vision for the future. Since 1982 or
earlier, the City's Comprehensive Plan has called for higher density housing in this area, which
would serve as a buffer between commercial uses on Penn Avenue and 66th Street and single-
family homes to the west. Subsequent updates of the Comprehensive Plan in 1997, 2008, and
2018 have maintained that high density designation in this area. T he block directly north of the
project site, between 65th and 65th 1/2 Streets, is also designated as high density residential.
T he proposed density of 82 units per acre is within the range of 35 to 100 units per acre
permitted in high density residential areas.
Zoning
Of the seven properties that make up the site, three are currently zoned as High-Density Residential
(MR-3) and four are zoned Single Family Residential (R). The Developer has requested that the
property zoning be changed to a Planned Unit Development District - Planned Multi-Family Residential
(P MR). Planned unit developments are intended to encourage the efficient use of land and resources
and to encourage innovation in planning and building. I n exchange for these efficiencies and superior
design, flexibility in the application of dimensional requirements is available. A full discussion of all
applicable review criteria is provided as an attachment to this report.
The following variations from standard requirements are requested:
Building height - Due to the varied elevation of the site, the actual height from grade to roof
varies significantly from one corner to another. Some elevations of the proposed building exceed
the maximum allowable height of 50 feet in the guiding MR-3 District. The north elevation along
65th 1/2 Street, where the building height was lowered to three stories, measures 39-40 feet from
grade. However, in areas where the grade drops and the underground parking ramp is partially
exposed (along 66th Street), the 5-story height of the building ranges from 59 feet 6 inches at the
southwest corner, to 73 feet at the southeast corner (adjacent to C V S). The average height above
grade along 66th Street is 66 feet 3 inches. The proposed building height along 66th Street is
consistent with the adjacent Mixed Use Community Zoning District along Penn Avenue, which
allows buildings up to 8 stories.
Maximum lot coverage - Approximately 52 percent of the site is covered by building. This
exceeds the 30 percent maximum in the MR-3 District, but is more consistent with the City's more
modern zoning districts (Mixed Use) that encourage larger buildings and less surface parking, in
exchange for locating nearly all parking underground. W hile the building coverage exceeds
maximums, only 66% of the site is impervious surfaces, below the maximum allowed 75%. The
proposal includes approximately 14,000 square feet of usable open space (10% of site required;
14% provided between the outdoor courtyard, activity area, and dog run).
Setbacks - Setbacks are reduced from the required 40 feet in the guiding MR-3 District.
Proposed setbacks range from 23 to 26 feet from property lines, except along 66th Street where
the building would be set back 20 feet from the property line. These setbacks are in line with
requirements for the Mixed Use Neighborhood district, which range from 15 to 25 feet.
The purposes of the MR-3 District regulations are to reserve appropriately located areas for family living
in a variety of types of dwellings at a reasonable range of population densities; to preserve as many as
possible of the desirable characteristics of the single-family district, while permitting higher densities; to
provide space for semi-public facilities to complement urban residential areas; to minimize traffic
congestion; and generally, to provide multi-family residential areas that are safe and attractive. Finding
that the proposed development achieves these goals, staff recommends approval of the proposed plans.
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
November 13, 2018. A decision is required by J anuary 12, 2019 or the Council must notify the

A public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on November 26, 2018.
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun Current Newspaper and mailed to
properties within 500 feet of the site on November 15th.
The Planning Commission voted (4-2) to recommend approval of the rezoning and planned unit
development.

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. The City’s
Comprehensive Plan designates this area for high-density residential
development. The Comprehensive Plan calls for multifamily housing to be
located between commercial areas and single-family neighborhoods. Further,
the Comprehensive Plan calls for the creation of a balanced housing stock
that is available to range of incomes and serves families at all stages of their
life-cycle. The proposed plans achieve/further these goals and objectives.
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. A mix of unit sizes is provided, as are a number of tenant
amenity areas. High quality building materials are proposed. The proposed
building centralizes vehicle traffic to one access point off the Russell Avenue
extension, while providing multiple pedestrian access points. Despite the
challenges of grade variations on the site, the proposed development
provides pedestrian entrances and a “storefront” look to the bicycle and
fitness amenity areas facing 66th Street.
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. The development is in substantial
compliance with the intent of the guiding MR-3 and Mixed Use Districts.
Departures from requirements are minimal and, in general, have been
deliberately done in order to achieve specific results.
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. Undue adverse impacts are not anticipated. The site and the
conditions of the resolution are designed to minimize any potential negative
impacts on neighboring properties.
6. The terms and conditions proposed to maintain the integrity of the plan are
sufficient to protect the public interest. The final development plan and
conditional use permit resolution establish conditions sufficient to protect the
public interest.
Part 2: All uses are conditional uses in a Planned Unit Development District.
The findings necessary to issue a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) are as follows
(Subd. 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 use is consistent with the intent of the Planned Multi-
Family Residential District and the underlying High-Density Multi-Family
Residential (MR-3) and Mixed Use Districts.
3. The proposed use is consistent with any officially adopted redevelopment
plans or urban design guidelines. See above – Part 1, #1
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.
5. 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.
6. 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 from undue adverse impacts.
7. There is a public need for such use at the proposed location. See above
– Part 1, #1.
8. 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.
RICHFIELD HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
MARKET RATE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING
POLICY STATEMENT
Adopted: July 20, 2015
When considering proposals for market rate, multi-family housing, the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority and City shall give priority to
projects that address one or more of the following criteria:
1.Rather than being located in single-family residential
neighborhoods, projects should be located in areas near
commercial and retail uses, such as the Penn Avenue Corridor,
or in underutilized commercial/retail areas, to serve as a
transition between the commercial/retail uses and the single -
family neighborhood.
2.Projects that have a complementary size and style to t he
community:
Preference for projects limited to no more than 4 stories,
such as townhomes, twinhomes and garden homes.
Taller developments would be considered in areas adjacent
to other tall developments, such as: along the I -494 Corridor
and/or in the “downtown” area near Lyndale Avenue and
66th Street, provided a healthy buffer between the high
density housing and single-family homes exists or is
anticipated as part of the project.
3.Projects that will include a mix of unit sizes and amenities,
offering options for all stages of life and families, including
young professionals and retirees, and larger families.
4.Include amenities to build community and encourage active
lifestyles, such as:
Communal gathering spaces, both indoors and outdoors
Inclusivity of pets and space to accommodate a dog park or
other pet-friendly facilities.
Access to trails and parks.
Transportation amenities, such as: Van or car-share,
electric car charging capability, bike-share, airport shuttle,
located near public transit.
Bicycle-friendly amenities.
Workout facilities to encourage wellness.
Greenspace for community gardens.
Designated spaces for outdoor cooking and barbeque.
5.Projects that are mixed-use and include complimentary retail or
commercial uses.
6.Projects that embody and preserve the feel of “the Urban
Hometown” in their design, layout, and interactions with the
community.
7.Projects that offer flexibility in their design to accommodate
market changes between the rental and ownership-market, and
future housing needs.
This Market Rate Multi-family Housing Policy is intended to guide
housing in a comprehensive manner that is consistent with the City’s
Senior Housing Policy and Affordable Housing Policy.

Mr. Matt Brillhart, Associate Planner
City of Richfield Planning Department
6700 Portland Avenue
Richfield, MN 55423
RE: Request for Review and Consideration of the Proposed NOVO Apartment Project
on 66th Street in the City of Richfield, Hennepin County, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Brillhart:
We are writing on behalf of Broadway Investors, LLC. to present the proposed NOVO
Apartment Project for your review and consideration for site plan review and to revise
the zoning designation to Planned Multi-Family Residential (PMR).
The onset of this project began in June of 2016. It began by researching properties
available in the area, review of the City Zoning Ordinance, review of the comprehensive
plan, zoning designations and associated regulations. As the dream materialized, we
coordinated with your Department to investigate alternatives for the subject properties.
Once we developed a concept, we held our first neighborhood meeting on September 8,
2018. We contemplated the various concerns heard at the neighborhood meeting,
revised the plans accordingly and submitted the drawings to the City of Richfield with a
request to perform a Conceptual Project Review on October 12, 2018 and attended an
Administrative Review Committee (ARC) meeting on October 18, 2018. Since then, we
submitted applications to request vacation of a portion of the Queen Avenue right-of-
way and to revise the zoning designation of the subject properties to PMR-Planned
Multi-Family Residential. Shortly after the application was submitted, the project team
held a neighborhood meeting on Saturday November 3, 2018 to share project details
with area residents and receive comments and reactions to the proposed project. We
met with the City of Richfield ARC a second time on November 1, 2018 and received
written comments through the Planning Department on November 2, 2018. We revised
the drawings to reflect design revisions and re-submitted the drawings on November 12,
2018.

Following is a description of the existing conditions, an outline of our approach to the
design and a description of the proposed project.
Existing Conditions:
The subject properties are situated on the north side of 66 th Street between Sheridan
Avenue S. and Penn Avenue S. in the City of Richfield. The project includes the following
properties:
Address PID # Zone Designation
2412 66th Street W. 2902824140055 MR-3 High Density Residential
2415 65 ½ Street W. 2902824140054 R Single Family

Including a portion of the following parcel:
6540 Penn Avenue S. 2902824140060 C-2 General Commercial
The project area includes approximately 2.12 acres of land. The subject properties are
currently occupied by single-family frame homes, driveways, and accessory buildings.
There is significant relief through the site, which rises and falls, but generally, the
elevation along the east is approximately twelve feet (12’) lower than the western edge
of the property.
Access to the existing properties is provided via 66th Street W., Queen Avenue S. and
65th ½ Street. Public sanitary sewer and domestic water and fire protection are
provided via existing utilities within the adjacent public rights-of-way.

www.bogart-pederson.com
Proposed Configuration:
The proposed NOVO Apartment project includes a new apartment building structure
with surface parking for guests and visitors in the center courtyard area. The building is
“C” shaped and includes two (2) parking levels below grade and five (5) levels for
apartments along 66th Street and three (3) levels above the parking levels along 65th ½
Street. The building height transitions between 3 and 5 levels above the parking levels
from 65th ½ Street and 66th Street.
Access to the main entrance, the center courtyard area, and community activities are
accessed via Russell Avenue S. extended. The proposed configuration minimizes traffic
impacts, potential noise and light glare to the neighbors in the community. Please note,
Russell Avenue S. extension is approximately twelve feet (12’) below the existing grade
to the west, which further screens the adjacent property owners from potential
impacts.
The proposed building is planned to offer one hundred and eighty three (183) new
residential units, which includes twenty-eight (28) studio apartments, seventy-one (71)
one-bedroom apartments, twenty-four (24) one-bedroom plus den apartments and
sixty (60) two-bedroom/two bath units. The apartments are generously sized by market
standards and include individual heating/cooling units, washer & dryers in each unit,
nine-foot (9’) ceilings, granite countertops and walk-in closets. The majority of the units
are designed to include a private balcony. Eight units will be fully barrier free and the
balance of the units can be adaptable per the standards established by the Minnesota
State Building Code.
Several amenities will be available to all apartment residents, which include a multi-
purpose community room, a theater, fitness center, a dog run, interior bike storage and
exterior plaza as part of the proposed courtyard area.
The exterior plaza includes activities and design elements such as a pergola and
entrance canopy, raised planters, gas grills, bike rack, hot tub/whirlpool, tables & chairs,
outdoor pool and a fire pit. It will serve as a community common space to enjoy the
weather, read a book or partake in various activities.
A great deal of emphasis was placed on the exterior design of the building to
complement the neighborhood character, provide a modern feel and to incorporate the
goals of the City’s comprehensive plan. Bump-outs and height variations were utilized
to reduce the scale and to create an inviting front-door facing the roads. In addition to
the various architectural features, materials common to turn-of-the century
neighborhoods were utilized such as brick, stucco and simulated stone.

The proposed parking includes seventeen (17) surface parking stalls for visitor and
short-term parking, which is located in the courtyard. In addition, there are two levels
of parking proposed below grade, which is accessed north and south from the proposed
entrance drive from/to Russell Avenue extended. The proposed design includes 259
spaces, which includes eight (8) barrier free spaces, fourteen (14) electric charge station
spaces, and 237 standard spaces, which provides 1.42 spaces per unit.
In accordance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, we utilized the MR-3 zoning as a
design guide and are requesting that the subject parcels be rezoned to Planned Multi-
Family residential (PMR). Based on our review of the character of the area, the subject
parcels can be defined as “transitional” and can serve as a buffer between the traffic
along 66th Street W. and the single-family residential to the north. In addition, this
development serves as a transition from the general commercial and retail uses to the
east and is consistent with the existing multi-family use to the west.
We incorporated a neighborhood design around the exterior perimeter of the
development. Street trees were utilized to frame the street and we utilized retaining
walls to provide a terraced effect to minimize the differences in elevation at the lower
corners of the site. The building orientation is placed relatively close to the adjacent
sidewalks to mimic the urban neighborhood feel. In addition, front entrances were
added to the north elevation and community uses were incorporated into the south
elevation with larger windows along 66th Street W. to provide a retail/office feel to
pedestrians that wander by.
As part of the proposed configuration, a portion of Queen Avenue S. is planned to be
vacated and Russel Avenue S., along the west is planned to be extended to 66 th Street.
We have coordinated with the property owner to the west of the proposed
development (2500 66th Street W-LW Fraser Independent Living) and they agreed to
grant an easement to the City for the west ½ of the proposed Russell Avenue S.
extension. The east ½ of the proposed Russel Avenue extension will be dedicated to the
City by Broadway Investors, LLC. (refer to the preliminary plat submitted for proposed
limits of the vacation and extension of Russell Avenue S.).
The design team considered several options regarding the height of the proposed
façade, offsets from the adjacent rights-of-way, varying building bump-outs/setbacks,
etc., revisions to the elevations, and review of the comprehensive plan, we determined
the most fitting configuration includes a more consistent roofline and consistent
neighborhood street design. The comprehensive plan also designates the property to
the north, if/when it is redeveloped, to be a MR-3 zone as well, which will serve as the
transition property to the north.

After review by the City Planning Department and obtaining neighbor concerns, we
revised the west and north building elevations as follows:
Revised color schemes utilizing a dark iron spot brick, lighter stucco and a muted
panelized sheet metal.
Added a canopy to the north entrance.
Reduce the number of hanging balconies along the west building face, north of
the entrance from 12 to 6 balconies.
Stepped two fourth-floor units back from the building face near the northwest
corner of the building.
Stepped three fourth-floor units away from the north building face along the
north elevation.
Please refer to the revised architectural elevations, renderings and material samples
submitted, which illustrate the most recent design and configuration.
In addition, to the architectural design revisions, we revised the site and landscape plan,
which now reflects approximately fifty (50) canopy and deciduous trees (39 required),
and approximately 200 shrubs (98 required).
We limited the access to the building from the north to one door, which will serve as a
secondary means of access and limited the lighting to security lighting over the access
doors. No site lighting or balcony lighting will be included in an effort to minimize light-
wash onto adjoining properties. The only exception to this is the required street light
improvements as part of the Russell Road extension to/from the cul-de-sac to 66 th
Street.
We provided additional detail on the outdoor activity/plaza area and enhanced the area
to include an outdoor pool. The pool will be fenced, as is required for safety and will be
accessed from the plaza level.
In summary, we have incorporated the design elements requested by the City Planning
Department into the plans and revised the architectural and site design to address
various concerns from the neighbors. We believe this collaborative effort resulted in an
overall improved design to benefit all involved. In addition, the proposed NOVO
Apartment project will be a positive addition to the City and will serve as a focal point
along 66th Street W. as it provides an attractive, comfortable, market-rate alternative for
young families, empty-nesters and professionals to live, work and play in the City of
Richfield.

Subject: 2412 West 66th Street Traffic Study
Introduction
SRF has completed a traffic study for the proposed multi-family residential development located at
2412 West 66th Street in Richfield (see Figure 1: Project Area). As part of the proposed development,
Queen Avenue between 66th Street and 65th 1/2 Street would be vacated, and Russell Avenue would
be extended to 66th Street (currently Russell Avenue dead-ends via a cul-de-sac south of 65th 1/2
Street). Thus, the main objectives of this study are to review existing operations within the study area,
evaluate traffic impacts to the adjacent roadway network due to the proposed development and
planned roadway changes, and identify potential improvements to accommodate or enhance the
proposed development. The following information provides the assumptions, analysis, and study
recommendations offered for consideration.
Existing Conditions
Existing conditions were reviewed to establish a baseline to compare and determine any future impacts
associated with the proposed development. The evaluation of existing conditions includes various data
collection efforts and an intersection capacity analysis.
Data Collection
SRF collected weekday a.m. and p.m. peak period intersection turning movement and pedestrian/
bicyclist counts in October 2018 at the following study intersections:
· 66th Street/Russell Avenue
· 66th Street/Queen Avenue
· 65th Street/Sheridan Avenue
· 65th Street/Russell Avenue
· 65th Street/Queen Avenue
· 65th Street/Penn Avenue
Note that the 66th Street corridor was under construction and closed to thru traffic between Xerxes
Avenue and Cedar Avenue (Highway 77) during the data collection efforts. Therefore, traffic counts
collected in year 2015 at the 66th Street/Penn Avenue and 66th Street/Sheridan Avenue intersections
were utilized for this study. Also note that based on previous studies completed along the 66th Street
corridor, area traffic volumes can fluctuate based on the level of congestion on Highway 62 during
the peak periods.

Average daily traffic (ADT) volumes were also collected along both Russell Avenue and Queen
Avenue south of 65th Street, in October 2018. The ADT volumes collected were approximately
30 vehicles per day on Russell Avenue and 135 vehicles per day on Queen Avenue.
In addition to the traffic volumes, observations were completed to identify roadway characteristics
within the study area. Currently, 66th Street is a four-lane divided roadway with turn lanes and a
35-mph posted speed limit. Penn Avenue is a four-lane divided roadway with a 30-mph posted speed
limit, while other study area roadways are two-lane undivided roadways with 30-mph speed limits. The
66th Street intersections at Sheridan Avenue and Penn Avenue are signalized. The remaining study
intersections are unsignalized with side-street stop control, except the 65th Street/Sheridan Avenue
intersection, which has all-way stop control. Existing geometrics traffic controls, and traffic volumes
are shown in Figure 2.
Intersection Capacity Analysis
An intersection capacity analysis was conducted to determine how traffic is currently operating at the
study intersections. All intersections were analyzed using Synchro/SimTraffic and the Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM). Capacity analysis results identify a Level of Service (LOS) which indicates
how well an intersection is operating. Intersections are ranked from LOS A through LOS F. The LOS
results are based on average delay per vehicle results from SimTraffic, which correspond to the delay
threshold values shown in Table 1. LOS A indicates the best traffic operation and LOS F indicates
an intersection where demand exceeds capacity. Overall intersection LOS A through D is generally
considered acceptable by drivers in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.
Table 1. Level of Service Criteria for Signalized and Unsignalized Intersections
LOS Designation Signalized Intersection
Average Delay/Vehicle (seconds)
Unsignalized Intersection
Average Delay/Vehicle (seconds)
A ≤ 10 ≤ 10
B > 10 - 20 > 10 - 15
C > 20 - 35 > 15 - 25
D > 35 - 55 > 25 - 35
E > 55 - 80 > 35 - 50
F > 80 > 50
For side-street stop controlled intersections, special emphasis is given to providing an estimate for the
level of service of the side-street approach. Traffic operations at an unsignalized intersection with side-
street stop control can be described in two ways. First, consideration is given to the overall intersection
level of service. This takes into account the total number of vehicles entering the intersection and the
capability of the intersection to support these volumes.

Second, it is important to consider the delay on the minor approach. Since the mainline does not have
to stop, the majority of delay is attributed to the side-street approaches. It is typical of intersections
with higher mainline traffic volumes to experience high levels of delay (poor levels of service) on the
side-street approaches, but an acceptable overall intersection level of service during peak hour
conditions.
Results of the existing capacity analysis shown in Table 2 indicate that all study intersections currently
operate at an acceptable overall LOS C or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with the existing
traffic control and geometric layout, except the 66th Street/Penn Avenue intersection which operates
at LOS E during the p.m. peak hour. The 66th Street/Russell Avenue intersection currently operates
at LOS A/F during the p.m. peak hour, with side-street delays approaching one-minute. However,
given the relatively low traffic volumes at this side-street approach during the p.m. peak hour, this
side-street delay is considered acceptable and does not warrant mitigation. No significant queueing
issues were observed, although based on the year 2015 traffic volumes at the 66th Street/Penn Avenue
intersection, eastbound and westbound queues occasionally extend into adjacent intersections during
the p.m. peak hour.

Proposed Development
The proposed development consists of a 179-unit apartment complex and is illustrated in Figure 3.
The proposed apartment complex will remove seven (7) existing single-family homes. As part of the
proposed development, Queen Avenue is proposed to be vacated between 66th Street and 65th 1/2
Street, while Russell Avenue is proposed to be extended to 66th Street. Access to the proposed
development is planned along Russell Avenue approximately 120 feet north of 66th Street. The
proposed development is expected to be constructed and open in year 2020.

Traffic Forecasts
Traffic forecasts were developed for year 2021 conditions (one year after construction) and include
both general background growth within the study area and trips generated by the proposed
development. To account for general background growth in the area, an annual growth rate of one-
half (0.5) percent was applied to the existing peak hour traffic volumes to develop year 2021
background traffic forecasts. This growth rate is consistent with recent traffic volume trends and
projected traffic volumes in the study area. Area traffic volumes were also modified to reflect travel
pattern changes associated with the proposed Russell Avenue and Queen Avenue modifications.
Further information regarding these roadway changes is provided later in this study.
Trips for the proposed development were estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
Trip Generation Manual, Tenth Edition. ITE has collected driveway count data at locations with similar
land uses around the nation to develop trip rates for the a.m. peak hour, p.m. peak hour, and on a
daily basis. These trip rates were compared to local data in the Twin Cities for mid-rise multifamily
apartments to provide an additional reference.
Results of the trip generation analysis shown in Table 3 below indicate that the proposed development
is expected to generate 65 a.m. peak hour, 79 p.m. peak hour, and 974 daily trips. Trips generated by
the current seven (7) residential homes located in the project area were also provided in the table
below, which equates to approximately 5 a.m. peak hour, 7 p.m. peak hour, and 66 daily trips. The
total change in site generated trips is approximately 60 a.m. peak hour, 72 p.m. peak hour, and 908
daily trips.

Trips were distributed to the study area based on the directional distribution shown in Figure 4, which
was developed based on existing traffic volumes, travel patterns, and engineering judgement. The
travel pattern routes for vehicles entering/exiting the proposed development were developed based
on current and expected travel times. The resultant year 2021 build conditions traffic volumes are
shown in Figure 5.

Year 2021 Build Condition
Intersection Capacity Analysis
To determine how the existing roadway network and proposed access locations will operate under
future year 2021 build conditions, an intersection capacity analysis was completed for the a.m. and
p.m. peak hours. Results of the intersection capacity analysis shown in Table 4 indicate that all study
intersections are expected to operate at an overall acceptable LOS C or better under year 2021 build
conditions during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, except the 66th Street/Penn Avenue intersection
which is expected to continue to operate at LOS E during the p.m. peak hour. The queueing noted
under existing conditions is expected to continue under build conditions but is not expected to
significantly increase as a result of the proposed development.

delay is shown.
Note that the southbound left-turn movement at the future 66th Street/Russell Avenue intersection
is expected to be challenging during the p.m. peak hour (i.e. the average southbound approach daily
is expected to be over one-minute). However, the southbound approach is expected to average less
than one-vehicle per minute during the p.m. peak hour. Southbound queues along Russell Avenue
are not expected to extend beyond two vehicles (i.e. 50 feet) during the peak hours.
From a traffic capacity perspective, the proposed development is expected have minimal impact on
traffic operations in the study area. The current traffic control and roadway capacities are expected to
be able to accommodate trips generated by the proposed development. However, as discussed in the
next section, traffic volumes along Russell Avenue between 65th Street and 66th Street are expected
to increase from current conditions.

Neighborhood Travel Patterns
As previously mentioned, Russell Avenue currently dead-ends at 65th 1/2 Street. As part of the
proposed development, Russell Avenue is planned to be extended to 66th Street, providing a direct
north/south local connection between 62nd Street to the north and 70th Street to the south. Sheridan
Avenue, which is a north-south roadway one block west currently ends at 65th Street and does not
provide the same thru connectivity that Russell Avenue would if extended. Connecting Russell Avenue
would provide a more direct route for residents along Russell Avenue (north of 65th Street) to access
66th Street.
Regardless of the proposed development, if the Russell Avenue connection between 65th Street and
66th Street was constructed, residents that are destined for Russell Avenue to the north or south of
the proposed development would be expected to utilize Russell Avenue rather that current routes
such as Sheridan Avenue. In addition, the proposed vacation of Queen Avenue between 66th Street
and 65th 1/2 Street, the majority of existing Queen Avenue users would be expected to utilize the
proposed Russell Avenue extension.
To help quantify potential area traffic volumes that result from the proposed roadway changes and
development, existing and estimated year 2021 traffic volumes along Russell Avenue (north and south
of 65th Street) are summarized in Table 5 for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours and on a daily basis. A
range was provided for the year 2021 non-development daily traffic volumes since it is difficult to
quantify the exact number of motorists that would be expected to change their route to Russell Avenue
if the proposed extension was constructed. These estimates leveraged existing traffic volumes and
patterns on both Sheridan Avenue and Queen Avenue, as well as other ADT volume data available
for other north-south residential roadways similar to Russell Avenue along the 66th Street corridor. A
typical ADT volume for a local street such as Russell Avenue is recommended to be less than 1,000
vehicles per day based on the City of Richfield’s 2040 Transportation Plan. As shown in Table 5, traffic
volumes along Russell Avenue are expected to be 650 vehicles a day or less, which is well within the
acceptable range.

It should be noted that if Russell Avenue is extended to 66th Street, there is the potential for motorists
to use Russell Avenue as a cut-through route to avoid the eastbound left- or southbound right-turn
movements at the 66th Street/Penn Avenue intersection. While not observed or quantified under
existing conditions, based on the number of households along and/or near Queen Avenue,
approximately 25 to 50 daily vehicles are estimated to currently use Queen Avenue that do not live on
Queen Avenue or 65th 1/2 Street. Vehicles that currently use Queen Avenue to cut-through are likely
to use Russell Avenue in the future. However, the amount of cut-through traffic is relatively low and
not expected to have a noticeable impact to area roadway capacity.

A review of the proposed development site plan was completed to identify any issues and recommend
potential improvements with regard to site distance, traffic control, and circulation. On-street parking
will be restricted on the east side of Russell Avenue generally between 66th Street and 65th 1/2 Street.
Special consideration should also be made to limit any sight distance impacts from future landscaping
and signing. No other traffic control or circulation issues are expected.
Bus stops for Metro Transit Route 4, which provides access to New Brighton, Downtown
Minneapolis, South Minneapolis, and the Southtown Shopping Center, is located less than a quarter
mile away from the proposed development at the Penn Avenue/65th Street intersection. Bus stops
for Route 515, which provides access to Southtown Shopping Center, Veterans Medical Center and
Mall of America, is provided less than one-tenth a mile away from the proposed development at the
66th Street/Sheridan Avenue intersection. Sidewalk is currently provided along both sides of
66th Street, both sides of Penn Avenue, and the north side of 65th Street. Currently no sidewalk is
provided along Russell Avenue, although the proposed development plans to construct sidewalk on
the east side of Russell Avenue between 66th Street and 65th 1/2 Street.
Trip Generation Comparison
An additional trip generation analysis was conducted to compare the magnitude of driveway trips
generated by an apartment complex to other common land uses. This analysis does not account for
new trips to the study area, rather, this reviews the estimated trips for the other land uses during the
a.m. and p.m. peak hour and on a daily basis. The land use comparisons included a “pharmacy” land
use with a similar size to the CVS Pharmacy located in the northwest quadrant of the 66th Street/Penn
Avenue intersection and a “fast-food restaurant with a drive-thru.” Trips were once again estimated
using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, Tenth Edition. As shown in
Table 6, the proposed development is expected to generate fewer peak hour and daily trips than other
common land uses.

Summary and Conclusions
Based on the analysis completed, the following conclusions and recommendations are offered for
consideration:
1. Results of the existing capacity analysis indicate that all study intersections currently operate at an
acceptable overall LOS C or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, except the
66th Street/Penn Avenue intersection which operates at LOS E during the p.m. peak hour.
2. The proposed development consists of a 179-unit apartment complex.
a. Queen Avenue is proposed to be vacated between 66th Street and 65th 1/2 Street, while
Russell Avenue is proposed to be extended to 66th Street. Access to the proposed
development is planned along Russell Avenue.
3. Results of the trip generation analysis indicate that the proposed development is expected to
generate 65 a.m. peak hour, 79 p.m. peak hour, and 974 daily trips.
4. Results of the year 2021 build intersection capacity analysis indicate that all study intersections are
expected to operate at an overall acceptable LOS C or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours,
except the 66th Street/Penn Avenue intersection which is expected to continue to operate at
LOS E during the p.m. peak hour.
a. The southbound left-turn movement at the future 66th Street/Russell Avenue intersection is
expected to be challenging during the p.m. peak hour. However, the southbound approach is
expected to average less than one-vehicle per minute during the p.m. peak hour and queues
along Russell Avenue are not expected to extend beyond two vehicles during the peak hours.
b. From a traffic capacity perspective, the proposed development is expected have minimal
impact on traffic operations in the study area.
5. To help quantify potential area traffic volumes that result from the proposed roadway changes
and development, existing and estimated year 2021 traffic volumes along Russell Avenue (north
and south of 65th Street) were developed for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours and on a daily basis.
a. A typical ADT volume for a local street such as Russell Avenue is recommended to be less
than 1,000 vehicles per day based on the City of Richfield’s 2040 Transportation Plan. Since traffic
volumes along Russell Avenue are expected to be 650 vehicles a day or less, the project traffic
volumes are within the acceptable range.

Motion carried: 6-0
Brillhart addressed the questions regarding parking and street width on Russell Avenue.
Chair Hayford Oleary brought up the concerns raised about mitigating construction impacts on
the surrounding residents. Poehlman responded that a stipulation could be added requiring the
developer to survey the existing conditions of the properties prior to the start of construction.
Poehlman responded to the question regarding the term “undue adverse impacts” stating that
it is a legal term that generally means that something is of “great harm”.
In response to Chair Hayford Oleary, Poehlman provided details about the traffic study.
Poehlman provided clarification in response to questions about purchase agreements.
In response to Commissioner Pynn, Olin explained why it was decided to vacate Queen.

Olin addressed Commissioner Pynn’s question regarding proposing 4 stories, stating that they
used the City’s Comprehensive Plan and City Code as guides. Brillhart responded to
Commissioner Pynn’s question about density standards in relation to height.
In response to Commissioner Rudolph, Brillhart stated that the proposal does not need a
Comprehensive Plan amendment and clarified what aspects require varia tions from Code.
Commissioner Rudolph further inquired about the building coverage and how that would
impact storm water management, to which Brillhart stated that more pervious area is provided
than is required.
Commissioner Quam asked for clarification on the property status at 6539 Queen Ave to which
Poehlman explained that private property negotiations could not be discussed at the hearing.
Poehlman responded to Commissioner Quam regarding the grade change to the east. Olin
clarified further how the building height compares to the Fraser building. Quam inquired about
the high-density range, to which Brillhart responded that the range is 50-100 units per acre and
that this project is approximately 80 units per acre. Quam commented further that a 3-story
building could still meet density requirements.
Commissioner Pynn introduced a proposed amendment regarding height and step backs.
Commissioner Rudolph expressed support for the amendment. Commissioner Quam
commended the work of Commissioner Pynn but thought it was too tall on the south side.
M/Rudolph, S/Pynn - Continue consideration to 8:40 p.m. to allow the applicant time to discuss
the proposed changes.
Motion carried: 6-0
The meeting was resumed at 8:40 p.m.
David Lundy of the development team stated that they are willing to consider the proposal put
forth by Commissioner Pynn.
In response to Commissioner Kitzberger, Brillhart clarified how increasing the height of the
building on the south and east side would compare to Sheridan Court.
In response to Commissioner Rosenberg, Poehlman stated that the building setback along
66th Street was similar or slightly greater than that of Sheridan Court. Rosenberg expressed
support for Commissioner Pynn’s amendment and reasoning for allowing five stories on 66th.
In response to Chair Hayford Oleary, Lundy stated that the goal would be to keep roughly the
same unit count with the height and stepback amendment.
In response to Commissioner Rudolph, Brillhart commented that staff did not believe that
allowing 5 stories would set a precedent that would be out of line with what other nearby
zoning districts allow. Commissioner Rudolph stated his preference for three stories.
M/Pynn, S/Kitzberger to recommend rezoning from High-Density Residential (MR-3) and
Single-Family Residential (R) to Planned Multi-Family Residential (PMR).
November 26, 2018

Chair Hayford Oleary expressed support for the rezoning as it is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Kitzberger commended Commissioner Pynn for bringing
his amendment idea forward.
Motion carried: 6-0
M/Pynn, S/Kitzberger to recommend approval of a resolution approving a Planned Unit
Development, Conditional Use Permit and Final Development Plan for an apartment
development on the north side of 66th St between Queen and Russell Avenues.
M/Pynn, S/Rudolph to require the north and northwest faces of the building to be lowered to 3
floors in exchange for increasing to 5 floors along 66th Street and the eastern side of the
building.
Commissioner Rosenberg expressed that it is still too big but understands that they have to
follow the regulations guiding land use and will support the proposal. She further expressed
that she understands the neighbors’ concerns but asked for tolerance of those who rent.
Commissioner Quam restated her preference for three stories and would not support the
proposal as is. Commissioner Rudolph expressed agreement with Commissioner Quam.
Chair Hayford Oleary expressed support for the amendment because it likely won’t have an
impact on unit count. Commissioner Quam expressed that she is in favor of more housing but
wants to do it thoughtfully.
Motion carried: 5-1(Quam opposed)
In response to Commissioner Rudolph, Poehlman stated that he could make an amendment to
require preconstruction surveys of the surrounding properties by an independent inspector.
M/Rudolph, S/Pynn to recommend an amendment to require pre construction surveys by an
independent contractor of the surrounding homes within 100 feet of the property including all
properties on the 6500 block on the west side of Russell Avenue, excluding properties on the
south side of 66th Street.

NOVO ‐ Queen Ave Development (2400 66th St West)
Bryan Pynn, Planning Commission
11/26/2018
PROPOSED AMENDMENT:
Approve variances as requested if the north and northwest faces of the structure can be lowered to 3
floors IN EXCHANGE FOR allowing 5 floors along 66th street and the eastern side of the building to make
up for lost units.
RATIONALE:
Southern solar exposure in the winter months is incredibly important in Minnesota for energy efficiency,
road safety, and mental health. Residents along 65th ½ will be shaded up to their front windows of their
home for up to 2 months during the winter if 4 floors are allowed along the north and northwest faces.
If the building height were lowered to 3 floors on these 2 faces (removing 18‐22 units), then the loss in
units could be made up on the south and east sides of the building if we allow for 5 floors to make up for
lost units. Lowering to 3 floors would allow for more solar access across the majority of the yards during
peak hours near the winter solstice. This height change will also reflect city policies that call for ‘step‐
down’ architecture wherever possible to make a smoother transition to lower density land uses. It will
also be more desirable to future developers and residents of that development if their first floor
residents were not bathed in shade for much of the winter.

Public hearing and consideration of the approval of a transitory ordinance vacating Queen Avenue and
a portion of Russell Avenue between 65th ½ Street and 66th Street.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Broadway I nvestors, LLC (Developer) has submitted applications requesting approval of an apartment
building on the north side of 66th Street, between Queen and Russell Avenues. On November 26, the
Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the proposed development with
additional conditions. The Council will consider approval of the planned unit development (P UD) application
as a separate agenda item that is not subject to an additional public hearing.
I n conjunction with the planned unit development application, the Developer is requesting to vacate Queen
Avenue between 65th 1/2 Street and 66th Street. I n exchange for removing Queen Avenue through the site,
the Developer would extend Russell Avenue approximately 200 feet to the south, intersecting 66th Street.
W ithout the vacation of Queen Avenue, three parcels that are guided for high-density residential development
would remain on the east side of the road. These three parcels on their own are unlikely to be redeveloped
due to their size and unusual shape. The proposed change in roadway alignments would allow a development
on the combined site to move forward, while maintaining local traffic circulation via the Russell Avenue
extension. Russell Avenue would include a tree-lined sidewalk between 65th 1/2 and 66th Streets. The
proposed roadway changes have been reviewed by Richfield and Hennepin County Public Works
Departments. Richfield Engineering staff will work with the Developer on the specific design of the Russell
Avenue extension.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Approve a transitory ordinance vacating Queen
Avenue and a portion of Russell Avenue between 65th ½ Street and 66th Street.
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
Since 1982 or earlier, the City's Comprehensive Plan has called for higher density housing in this
area, which would serve as a buffer between commercial uses on Penn Avenue and 66th Street
and single-family homes to the west. Subsequent updates of the Comprehensive Plan in 1997,
2008, and 2018 have maintained that high density designation in this area.
I n the fall of 2017, the Developer contacted City staff to discuss a multi-family development
proposal on this property. The Developer again contacted staff in summer of 2018, and
preliminary development concepts were shared with the City Council and Planning Commission at
a W ork Session on August 20. I n response to feedback from that W ork Session, the Developer
revised the site layout to include the Russell Avenue connection. The Developer held
neighborhood open house meetings on September 8 and November 3. The Planning Commission
held a public hearing and recommended approval of the proposed development with additional
conditions, on November 26, 2018.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
Roadway Vacation
The Council may by ordinance vacate a street, alley, public grounds, or a part thereof, on its own
motion or upon the petition of the owners half of the land abutting the street, alley, public grounds,
or part thereof to be vacated. No vacation may be made unless it appears in the interest of the
public to do so.
The Developer will be responsible for the relocation of all utilities within and above the existing
right-of-way. W hen re-platting the property, the Developer must dedicate utility and drainage
easements as necessary. All new utilities must be underground. The proposed street vacation will
not become effective until the City Council approves a Final Plat application, which will dedicate
the right-of-way necessary for the Russell Avenue extension.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
60-DAY R U LE: T he 60-day clock started when a complete application (including a legal
description of the area to be vacated) was received on November 13, 2018. A decision is
required by January 12, 2019 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.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION:
Notice of this public hearing was mailed to properties within 500 feet of the proposed development
and published in the Sun Current newspaper.
The City Council conducted a first reading of the ordinance on November 27, 2018.

Public hearing and consideration of the adoption of a resolution approving a preliminary plat of the
"Cedar Point 2" Addition that will combine 27 parcels and vacated 64th Street right-of-way into 5
parcels, in order to allow construction of a previously approved housing project.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
I n conjunction with an application for a Planned Unit Development (Cedar Point 2), NHH Properties, L L C
(the "Applicant") must replat the site. Approval of a preliminary plat is required prior to the issuance of building
permits; a final plat is required prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy.
At the time the Preliminary Plat application was submitted, the Applicant had been unable to come to an
agreement with two property owners within the project boundary. The proposed preliminary plat does not
include these two parcels and the design of the project will allow construction to work around them. I n the past
few days, however, the Applicant has signed a purchase agreement with one of the remaining homeowners
and is optimistic about purchasing the last home. I f the final property is not purchased prior to critical
construction deadlines, the Applicant will return to the City for approval of an amended site plan that excludes
townhomes on that property. This possibility was discussed with policy makers when land use approvals were
considered.
Ultimately, the Final Plat would be brought back to the City Council for consideration at a later date. That
Final Plat would reflect the final property configuration.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Adopt a resolution for a preliminary plat of the
"Cedar Point 2" Addition.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:

Final Development Plans for the project were approved by the City Council on September 25,
2018. Final approvals require the Applicant to acquire all parcels in the development area or return
to the City Council for approval of an amendment.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
All plats or subdivisions of land must be approved by City Council resolution, pursuant to the
provisions of Minnesota State Statutes 462.357.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
Per State Statute, the City has 120 days from the date of submittal of a complete application to
issue a decision regarding a plat unless the applicant agrees to an extension.

I T E M F O R C O UNC IL C O NS ID E RAT I O N:
Public hearing and consideration of the approval of second reading of an ordinance amendment to the
Richfield City Code Appendix D (Fee Schedule) and adopt a resolution approving summary publication
of said ordinance. The proposed ordinance would revise fees related to certain building permit and
planning and zoning application fees.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
City staff conducts an annual review to determine whether its fees for permits and services are appropriate.
Among other criteria, the intent of the review is to determine whether the fees collected are adequate to cover
the staff time and costs related to performing the services associated with those fees. At the same time, staff
tries to ensure that costs for City services are in line with our peer communities and are not excessive or
onerous.
Fees related to building permits, zoning, and other land use permits are established by Appendix D of the
City's Code. Staff is recommending the following changes to the fees and permits included in this section.
Building and Related Permits: Staff is proposing increasing the minimum fee for permits from $35 to $40.
Also, the City does not have a specific electrical permit fee for solar photovoltaic systems. Staff is proposing
a fee table that is used by the Minnesota Department of Labor for State electrical permits based on the size of
the proposed system.
Planning & Zoning Fees: Fees for complex land use applications have not been raised since at least 2005.
Staff has proposed to increase both minimum and maximum fees to better align with the costs related to the
processing of these applications. Minimum fees for planned unit development applications have been
increased from $500 to $1,000 and maximum from $3,500 to $5,000. The sliding fee scale will remain, thus
larger projects that require more staff time will continue to pay more than than smaller, simpler projects.
Variance fees have been adjusted as well; better-reflecting actual staff time and costs. Residential variance
application fees have been increased from $250 to $350 and non-residential from $450 to $500. Additional
minor adjustments have been made and are reflected in the proposed ordinance amendment.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion:
1. Approve a second reading of an ordinance ame ndme nt to Richfie ld City Code
Appendix D (Fe e Schedule) re late d to building permit and planning and zoning
application fee s; and
2. Adopt a re solution authorizing summary publication of an ordinance ame nding
Richfie ld City Code Appe ndix D (Fee Sche dule ) related to building pe rmit and planning
and zoning application fee s.
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
W hile fees are reviewed annually, it has been over a decade since significant changes to planning
and zoning fees have been made.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
State Statutes require municipal fees and permits to be determined in accordance with actual staff
time and costs that are incurred in providing related services.
City staff has determined that the fees in question should be modified in order to better reflect
actual time and costs incurred.
I n instances where the full text of an amendment is cumbersome and the expense of publication of
the full text is not justified, the City is permitted to publish a summary of the approved text.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
I f approved, new fees will take effect 30 days following publication.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
City staff has determined that current fees for some applications are insufficient to cover the costs
related to processing those applications.
Staff also reviews similar fees in our peer communities to ensure that Richfield's fees are not
onerous or excessive. W ith the proposed changes, Richfield's fees remain in line with these peer
communities.

Richfield, the rates and charges for City storm sewer service are hereby established to
be those set forth in the following paragraphs of this resolution:
2. The rates and charges for the use and availability of the system are determined through
the use of a “Residential Equivalent Factor” (REF). One REF is defined as the ratio of
the average volume of surface runoff coming from one acre of land and subjected to a
particular use, to the average volume of runoff coming from one acre of land subjected to
typical single-family residential use within the City during a standard one year rainfall
event. The REF’s for the following land uses within the City and the billing classifications
for such land uses are as follows:
LAND USES REF CLASSIFICATION
Cemeteries
.25
1
Parks and railroads .75 2
Two-family residential 1.00 3
Single-family residential 1.00 4
Public and private schools
and institutional uses
1.25
5
Multiple-family residential
uses and churches
3.00
6
Commercial, industrial, and
Warehouse uses
5.00
7
3. The basic system quarterly rate for storm sewer service is $95.12 per acre of land.
$19.02 is the quarterly rate for a single-family residence, which is considered to have an
acreage of one-fifth acre. The charge made against each parcel of land is then
determined by multiplying the REF for the parcel’s land use classification times the
parcel’s acreage times the basic system rate.
STREET LIGHT RATES AND CHARGES FOR 2019
1. Pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota State Statutes, Section 429.101and Section 825
of the Ordinance Code of the City of Richfield, the rates and charges for City street light
service are hereby established to be those set forth in the following paragraphs of this
resolution:
2. The street light fee for residential single family property is $5.77 per quarter.
3. Rates for other land uses will be determined by land use types based on the following
table:
STREET LIGHT LAND USES:
COM All commercial properties, to include multifamily residents (apartments) and
industrial parcels.
RES All residentially coded parcels.
PUB Public buildings, i.e. City Hall, City Garage, and Fire Stations
CHURCH All Churches also to include cemeteries and activity buildings associated with
a Church
SCH All schools, to include private and public schools.
PRK All parks owned by the City of Richfield, also to include Nature Centers and all
“properties” located within city park parcels
DPLX Addresses that split a residential lot, to include townhomes, 3-plexes, and 4-
plexes.

4. The multiplier of “5” is based on the definition that a residential lot is 1/5 of an acre;
hence multiplying acreage by 5 produces the equivalent number of residential lots.
5. The multiplier of “1.25” ” is based on the definition that a residential lot is 1/5 of an acre
and multiplying acreage by 5 produces the equivalent number of residential lots.
However, the total area of each parcel is not proportional to the number of street lights in
an equivalent residential area so the factor of 5 is reduced by 75%, producing 1.25.
6.5% PENALTY ON PAST DUE ACCOUNTS
1. Customers will have twenty eight (28) days to pay their water, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer, and street light quarterly bills from the date of the mailing by the City. Any unpaid
amount will be added to the next quarterly bill along with a 6.5% penalty on the
delinquent amount.
2. The penalty charge when billed on past due accounts shall be allocated proportionally
between the City’s water fund, sewer fund, and storm sewer fund based on the user fees
billed for each fund.

non-profit organizations for environmental assessment. Staff has prepared an application to this Program to
cover the $12,690 cost of the Phase I I assessment. A City Council resolution authorizing the application

Recitals
WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ the services of said Catherine Rodriguez as City Manager

by assuring Employee's morale and peace of mind with respect to future security, (3) to act as a
deterrent against malfeasance or dishonesty for personal gain on the part of the Employee, and (4) to
provide a just means for terminating Employee's services at such time as she may be unable to fully

WHEREAS, Employee desires to accept employment as City Manager of said City under terms
and conditions acceptable to Employee.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree

agrees to increase said base salary and/or other benefits of Employee in such amounts and to such
extent as the Council may determine that it is desirable to do so during the review at 6 months and
thereafter on an annual basis, based on a performance and salary review of Employee.
Section 3. Term
A. This Agreement is effective and Employee shall begin her duties as City Manager with the City
on January 2, 2019.
Page 2 of 6
B. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with the right of the
Council to terminate the services of Employee at any time, subject only to the provisions set forth in
Section 4, paragraphs A and B, of this Agreement.

Employee to resign at any time from her position with Employer, subject only to the provision set forth

D. Employee agrees to serve in the employ of Employer on an "at will" basis subject to provisions
set forth in Section 4, paragraphs A, B, C of this Agreement.

A. In the event the Employer desires to terminate the Employee during such time that Employee is
willing and able to perform her duties under this Agreement, then, in that event, Employer agrees to
give the Employee three months' notice of termination, during which time the Employee will continue to
perform her duties. The Employer further agrees to pay Employee a lump sum cash payment equal to

deemed to be "terminated" on the effective date of Employee’s resignation and Employee shall be
entitled to receive the termination benefits set forth in paragraph A above.
C. If Employee voluntarily resigns her position, the Employee shall give Employer forty-five (45)
days’ notice in advance, unless the parties otherwise agree to mutual termination. The Employee will
not be paid any severance pay if she voluntarily resigns, but the Employee shall be entitled to accrued
but unused personal leave, vacation, holidays and other accrued benefits. If the parties agree to a
mutual termination, Employee shall be entitled to the termination benefits set forth in paragraph A
above.
Section 5. Disability
If Employee is permanently disabled or is otherwise unable to perform her duties because of
sickness, accident, injury, mental incapacity or health for a period of four successive weeks beyond any
accrued personal leave, or for twenty working days over a thirty working day period, Employer shall
have the option to terminate this Agreement, subject to the severance pay requirements of Section 4,
