Gentlemen:
Subject: Request for Authority to Authorize Eminent
Domain Proceedings on Nelson's Restaurant
The purpose of this council letter is to provide for the city
to become involved in negotiations for acquisition of the Nelson`s
REstaurant in the event that acceptable easements for 65th Street
are filed by United National Corporation.
A resolution authorizing eminent domain proceedings for the
Nelson's Restaurant is being prepared and will be available at the
March 13th city council meeting. If United National Corporation
files acceptable easements, it is recommended that the eminent
domain resolution be adopted. In the event United National Cor-
poration does not fiel an acceptable easement document it is the
recommendation that the eminent domain resolution be deferred until
at least the March 27, 1978 city council meeting.
In the event it is thought not desirable to adopt the eminent
domain proceedings resolution at the March 13 meeting, it will
probably still be possible for the city to initiate-the process
of negotiating for the acquisition of the Nelson's Restaurant.
Based on the information we have available at this time, it would
be our intention to do that during the week of March 12, 1978.
The purpose in processing the eminent domain proceedings
resolution at this time is to provide for that process to move
along at the same time as the negotiation process. In the event
it is not possible for the city to acquire through negotiations, we
would then be prepared to acquire through the eminent domain process.
This. would help to assure acceptance by the city of the restaurant
site prior to the end of the current construction season.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: Request for Preparation of Wine License Ordinance
Attached is a copy of a letter from Mr. James Assimes, owner of the
Lemon Tree Restaurant at 801 West 772 Street. Mr. Assimes would like
the ability to sell wine in .his restaurant and is asking that the city council
have a wine license ordinance prepared for that purpose .
Mr. Assimes will be at the city council meeting to describe how he
proposes to completely renovate his existing restaurant facility. It is
my understanding that he has had tentative plans prepared and will be
able to comment on the type of menu that he proposes to offer in his
remodeled restaurant.
Should the city council wish to consider this matter further,it is
recommended that the city attorney be asked to prepare a draft of a
proposed wine licensing ordinance which would retain for the city council
as much discretion as possible in the issuance of such licensPS.

I am writing to ask for an opportunity to appear at the .~~arch 13, 1978 City
Council Meeting. I weuld like to ask the members of the city council to
approve the preparation of an ordinance which would make it possible fer me
to serve wine in my restaurant in Richfield.
During the last four years, I have operated the Lemon Tree Restaurant at
801 6+test 77 1/2 Street withcut making any major structural changes or renova-
tions. I have now made a tentative decision to completely renovate the inside
of my restaurant tc give it a new motiff, and even chance t're name of the
restaurant. I have an architect who has been working with me on this project,
and I would like to get it started just as soon as possible.
It is important to me, from the standpoint of my ability to co;rpete ~•~ith
other restaurants in the area, that I be able to serve wine. I have con-
cluded that I do not want a full, on-sale liquor license, but, being able tc
serve beer and wine would make it possible for me to provide a very attractive
restaurant, which I am sure, would continue to be heavily patronized by
Richfield citizens and others in the area.
Sincerely,

~,'
,;,
2. That the applicant establish and maintain a landscaped boulevard

At the May 23, 1977 city council meeting, .the requirements of the September
;,
Council Letter No. 42 -2- February 13, 1'978
1976 special use permit and off-street parking contract were discussed by the city
council in connection with a temporary sign permit. On May 23, 1977 the city
council approved a temporary sign permit with the stipulation that provisions Qf tkre~
September, 1976 special use permit and off-street parking contract be completed.
within 30 days. In accordance with that additional city council action the following
procedures were followed:
1. On July 1, 1977 the city manager wrote a letter to Lindahl Oldsmobile,
Inc, advising them of the action taken by the city council on May 23,
1577. That letter stated that the applicant should comply- with_the
requirements of the September, 1976 special use permit and- off-street .
parking contract no later than July 1, 1977.
2. On June 6, 1977 a representative of the Public Works Department an.d:~
the Planning and Redevelopment Department met with a representative .
of Lr~idhal Oldsmobile, Inc. to discuss this matter and provide ' ~:
assistance to help the applicant comply with the city. requiremeb~s
by July 1, 1977.
3. Early in July an inspection was made of -the .off-street- parking contract
area. An illegal driveway which-had been constructed ori:Krpx.Aven~e `~
had. been removed, but otherwise the applicant-had riot acted to :comply
with all of the other requirements of the September, 19.76 off~strQ`et
parking contract. _
,. ~ ~ '~~ .
~~
4. Additional time was given to the applicant, but no further action `was
taken and on September. 21, 1977 another letter was sent by the city
manager to Lindahl Oldsmobile, .Inc. That letter indicated ghat tf the
requirements were not met in the near future that it would be nE~essary ~~ -
for the city to take care of these matters within the procedures pro~-
vided by the performance .bond. ~ ~ ,.• r

parking have not yet been met:
1. The trees which were to be planted along Knox Avenue. are, only l l/$"
to 2 1/2" in diameter. The city council landscaping: pokiey ~:€or a~ffL '
street parking contracts requires that trees be at Ieast 2 I/2"~ in diameter

You will note that the applicant is asking that the tree siac normaYly ,
required by the city be waived in his situation. -

F.
Council Letter No. 42 -3- February 13, 1978
2. The off-street parking contract specifies that only parallel parking be
permitted behind the curb along the 78th Street boulevard. The city
manager agreed to a tentative change in this provision subject to city
council approval which would permit the applicant to park cars on a
slight diagonal basis as long as the cars were between four and five
feet back of the curb. The applicant did move the fence back. How-
ever the applicant has not been consistent in parking cars in such a
way so that the appropriate distance behind tl~ curb has been maintained.
The applicant is also asking that the city council eliminate the require-
ment for parallel parking.
3. In addition, Iindahl Oldsmobile, Inc. has constructed a fence on the
south boulevard of 77th Street between Knox and Logan Avenues. This
fence encroaches on city street right-of-way by approximately six feet
which is in violation of the municipal code due to the fact that there is
no agreement covering such fence construction.. The applicant fs request-
ing that the fence be permitted to remain and presumbably would be
willing to enter into an agreement with the city to provide permission
for the fence.
It is recommended that the city council not release the off-street parking contract.
for Lindahl Oldsmobile,. Inc. until the requirements in their present -one. are, amended
or completed by the applicant.

Richfield, Minnesota 55423
Mr. Burggraaff -
Thanks for your visit to Lindahl Oldsmobile on September 23,-1977 in re-
sponse to my req~iest of September 22, 1977. I believe our in depth con-
versations regarding our problems and differences were very worthwhile.
At this time, 1 request a release of our bond .relative to off street
parking, etc.
As we discussed this morning, we have now and will continue - with your
approval - to park our cars in front of the building and the car lot,
78th Street, at a minimum of four feet behind the curb in an almosC par-
ellel position. Regarding this set back in front of the Used Car. Lot,.
we have moved the fence back, to the north, so as to enable the parking
as stated.
i
In reference to the size of the. trees on the Knox;Avenue Boulevard, as
I stated this morning, I was quite surprised. We picked what we con-
sidered ood quality trees with: the ~.ntention;of caring for these trees
and having them grow into good beautiful ones. We feel we now have a
very responsible looking boulevard, taken care of properly, and-we're
proud, and feel this should be acceptable.
Relative to our construction of an additional fence on the south boule-
vard of 77th Street, we are sorry if we encroached on the street right
of way. However, we do believe, we're not too far out of line relative
to conditions in the area and at this time hereby request this fence be
permitted as it now stands. Should this require a varience in the code
then accept this letter as a request for such varience.
Mr. Burggraaff

September 23, 1977
We're proud of Lindaht Oldsmobile, its image and its reputation as well
as being proud of Richfield and its image and its reputation. We have
~~nd we will continue, to make a sincere attempt to adhere to your policies
and your requests. However, we do feel that there may be times when a
lack of communications exists between those busy in the retail business.
and those likewise busy in city administrative problems. If and when this
does or could occur in the future, we would appreciate at any time and at
their convenience a visit by any or all members of the City Council,
Planning Commission, or whatever, i.n order to enable better understandings
between us all.
Thank you.

At the January 23, 1978 city council meeting, the city council gave first

At that time, the council requested the city attorney and staff to explore
changes in the language of Subd. 2 to more directly prohibit display or avail-
ability of such materials to persons under 18 years of age.
Attached to this letter for council consideration is a copy of a revised-

Subject: Status Report on United National PUD and Public Improvement
Easements
The purpose of this council letter is to provide a status report on the
public improvement easements and the Plan Unit Development process involving
United National Corporation.
Mr. Richard Naiman, Vice President of United National Corporation will be
in attendance at the March 13 city council meeting. We tentatively anticipate
that he will deliver to the city at that time an executed easement for the new
65th Street alignment together with the utility easements. required by the new
alignment. In addition, we anticipate that he will file a petition to initiate the
process to vacate existing 65th from Pillsbury Avenue to Nicollet Avenue.
It is our understanding that Mr. Naiman will probably not have final approval
for the easements from New York Life and three other firms holding small mortgages
on the property. However, we anticipate receiving from Mr. Naiman a letter
indicating that these approvals will be forth coming in the near future.
We do not expect Mr. Naiman to have an executed easement for the area
required along Nicollet Avenue between 65th and 66th streets . Further negotiations
are necessary concerning this easement and we hope to direct full attention to that
matter following successful acceptance of the 65th Street easements.
Several weeks ago Mr. Naiman indicated a desire to have second reading of
the Plan Unit Development ordinance occur at the March 13 city council meeting .
Mr. Naiman has recently advised us that United National Corporation is not
prepared for this item on March 13, but that they are working very hard to be
ready for second reading consideration at the March 27, 1978 city council meeting.

The Honorable Mayor

City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Council
Purchase in Excess of $1,000
Chapter 6, section 6.05 of the city charter stipulates that
the city council must approve purchases of merchandise, materials,
equipment or construction when the amount exceeds $1,000. There
are two such items on the city council agenda of March 13, 1978.
Vehicles
For a number of years, the city has participated in the
Hennepin County joint purchasing program. One of the major items
Richfield purchases through this program each year is vehicles for
our governmental fleet. Hennepin County has now received bids for
vehicles to be used in 17 municipalities, with Richfield's 1978
needs included in that bid. This bid includes replacement of a
utility van presently used by the public safety department. The
1978 central garage budget provides for the purchase of this utility
van, which will be a replacement for a fully depreciated vehicle in
-the central garage revolving fund.
This van, used by the public safety department, is equipped
as an emergency vehicle, and can be used by the department for
many purposes, although it is primarily used for the transportation
of animals and bicycles which have been impounded by our community
services officers. The current van is now fully depreciated, and
has accumulated substantial mileage and wear in city use.
Tt is recommended that the city council approve the purchase
of a utility van to be used by the public safety department, in
the amount of $5,817.
Autoclave
The 1978 budget for the water division includes funds for the
purchase of an autoclave. This piece of equipment is used in the
water plant laboratory, and is required to insure that we continue
to meet standards for the federal clean water legislation.
Council Letter No. 74 -2- March 13, 1978
Quotations have been solicited for this equipment, which
will replace an outmoded autoclave.- Curtin Mathison Scientific
Inc. is the only-local supplier of this equipment, and has sub-
- mitted a quotation in the amount of $2,065.00.
It is recommended that the city council approve this purchase
in excess of $1,000 for acquisition of an autoclave for the water
plant, in the amount of $2,065.00.

Subject: Request for Barricades for Soap Box Derby
Mr. David Arnold and Mr. Richard Blevins, representing the
Southdale YMCA Trailblazers, have requested permission to barricade
71st and 1/2 Streets between Xerxes and Upton Avenue South for the
purpose of holding a soap box derby on April 1, 1978 from 1:00 p.m.
to 4:00 p.m. Attached is a copy of the letter from Mr. Arnold and
Mr. Blevins and a petition signed by most residents of that street
indicating their concurrance with the proposed barricading of the
street for that purpose.
The only stipulation that is attached to this request would
be that the city erect the barricades and warning devices in such
a way as to permit the ingress and egress of emergency vehicles
should this become necessary during the time of the soap box
derby.

The committee recommends removal of the stop signs on 77th
Street at 12th Avenue, thus making the intersection~a two-.:
way, rather than a four way stop, with. the signs stopping;
the east-west traffic on 77th Street.. -
The committee also recommends installation of "No Parking -
Between Signs" signs for 15 feet on either side of the sidewalk
in front of the Baptist Church of our Saviour,'on the east side of
Oliver Avenue. These signs were requested by the chure.h.
~ Council Letter No. 72 -2- March 13, 1978
Subsequent to this committee meeting, a request was received
from the House of Prayer Lutheran Church to install stop signs
on 77th Street at Chicago Avenue, making that intersection a
four-way stop. I authorized installation of stop signs in this
location on an emergency basis so that the signs were in place
prior to the dedication of the Richfield Towers at that inter-
section on February 26.
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
resolution, authorizing permanent placement of stop signs on 77th
Street at Chicago Avenue.

TRAFFIC CONTROL COMMITTEE
MINUTES
February 21, 1978
Members present: C. Marinics, T. Morgan, R. Richardon, J. Wilde (M. Raaen,
absent)
The Richfield Traffic Control Committee met at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday,
February 21, 1978, to review pending requests for traffic control devices.
The committee considered the following items:
69th & Xerxes: J. Wilde reported that several businessmen with offices on
this intersection had requested installation of controls to stop traffic on 69th
Street and Xerxes . R. Richardson reported the accident history data and C.
Marinics described recent traffic counts , which indicate sufficient traffic
volume to warrant afour-way stop at this intersection. J. Wilde indicated that
the Edina Traffic Control Committee had also reviewed this request and had
concluded that afour-way stop was warranted. The Committee also observed
that the physical configuration of 69th Street, as it narrows at Xerxes Avenue,
creates an additional potential hazard to traffic at this intersection.
The committee voted to recommend ins tallation of a stop sign on the Richfield
side of the intersection, to stop westbound 69th Street .traffic of Xerxes Avenue,
with the understanding that the City of Edina would ins tall a stop sign on their
side of the intersection, to stop eastbound 69th Street traffic.
65th Street and 20th Avenue: J. Wilde reported that the neighbors who had
circulated a petition in November, 1976, had renewed their request for stop signs
at 65th Street, to stop 20th Avenue traffic. The committee reviewed traffic
count and accident data. for this intersection, and determined that n;o warrants were
met to justify installation of stop signs at this intersection.
The committee voted to recommend denial of the request for stop signs at '.
65th Street and 20th Avenue. ~ '
67th Street and Park: Avenue: R. Richardson requested that the committee' con--
cider establishing a .two-way stop at this intersection, to stop the north-south .
traffic on Park Avenue South. This action would complement the traffic flow
pattern on 67th Street in the area, since Park Avenue is the only cross street
that is not required to stop at 67th Street.
The committee voted to recommend installation of a two-way stop sign at
67th Street and Park Avenue, to stop Park Avenue traffic.
12th Avenue and 77th Street: R. Richardson suggested that the present four-
way stop at this intersection may no longer be necessary, since 12th Avenue
traffic is now stopped at both 76th Street and 78th Street. Nether of these
controls existed at the time the stop signs were installed at 77th Street and
12th Avenue.
The committee voted to recommend removal of the stop signs on 12th Avenue
at 77th Street, thus making the intersection atwo-way stop, with the east-west
traffic on 77th Street being stopped at 12th Avenue.
The committee also considered a request from the Baptist Church of our
Saviour to prohibit on-street parking on Oliver Avenue directly in front of the
church sidewalk. The committee voted to recommend placing signs reading-
"No Parking Between Signs , " at a .spot 15 feet from either side of the sidewalk.

Subject: Off-Street Parking Contract-1800 E. 66th Street
Mr. Merle Meyer, 6636 2nd Avenue, Richfield, is proposing to
convert an existing vacant structure at 1800 E. 66th Street into
an office for an off-site vehicle appraisal service.. .The building
formerly housed the MacDonald Chiropractor office and there is a
single family residence attached to the office which will remain.
Attached is a site plan showing the existing buildings and
parking areas. The number of off-street parking spaces required
for this residential and office use would be four. Mr. Meyer is
proposing to provide six off-street parking spaces.
It is necessary that an off-street parking contract be exec-
uted in order to bring the- existing parking area into conformance
with city standards. Therefore, it is recommended that the city
council authorize execution of an off-street parking contract
for a parking lot at 1800 E. 66th Street with the stipulation that
all the requirements for issuing an off-street parking contract
are met.

CITY OF RICHFIET~D, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 69
Agenda March 13 , 19 78
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Agreement for Position Classification and Pay Plan Study
The purpose of this council letter is to transmit for city council consideration
and action a proposed agreement for a position classification and pay plan study.
The study would include a total of 97 city employee positions and 69 existing
job classifications covered by the general services pay plan and the management
pay plan. These two pay plans currently provide for the compensation of all full
time city personnel not represented by organized bargaining units.
It is proposed that the study be conducted by Stanton Associates, Inc. with
the city personnel. director and other city personnel performing a substantial
portion of the work under the direction of the consultant. A copy of the proposed
agreement is attached for your review.
Under the terms of the agreement the consultant services would be provided
f,~r a lump sum amount not to exceed $12,000. The agreement also provides
that the consultant will reduce this amount proportionately should the study
consume less time than now contemplated. It is estimated that the work which
will be done on this project by city personnel has reduced our consultant service
cost by at least $10,000.
Stanton Associates, Inc. is a local firm based in the Twin Cities area. This
firm is familiar with local government services and practices inasmuch as it has
conducted the annual Stanton salary survey covering comparable positions in
local, county and state government in our area . The firm has also conducted
similar classification and pay plan studies for a number of other local government
jurisdictions in the Twin City area. On the other hand, Stanton Associates, Inc.
has done extensive classification and pay work for private employers. Therefore,
this firm is not only familiar with private employment practices but has had
experience relating desirable private compensation practices to local government
situations .
Council Letter No . 69 - 2 - March 13 , 1978
The procedure which will be utilized by the consultant is described in
general terms in the attached agreement. You will note that the first step
in the agreement will be an opportunity for the consultant to meet with the
council for the purpose of describing the study and discussing concerns
about existing compensation practices and procedures . It is suggested
that the city council may wish to meet with the consultant for this purpose
at 5:00 p.m. on March 27 just prior to our next council meeting. This
schedule will enable the consultant and the city staff to initiate the action
of the study thereafter. This arrangement will make it possible for the
study to be completed and presented later this year so that actions taken
on the study can be implemented no later than January 1 , 1979 .
In summary, it is recommended that the .city council take the following
two actions:
1 . Adopt the attached resolution approving the agreement for personnel
services .with Stanton Associates, Inc.
2. Adopt the attached resolution transferring contingency funds in the
amount of $12 , 000 to cover cost of the study.
Respectfully submitted,

PROCEDURES AND PRINCIPLES
To Be Recognized in
JOB EVALUATION PROCESS
STANTON ASSOCIATES, INC.
1821 University Avenue
St. Paul, I~iinnesota 55105
612/646-7154
1. The Job Evaluation process is an important step in the
development of a sound and respected Salary Administra-
tion Program.
2. Job Evaluation takes place following the preparation of
Position Responsibility Write-Ups, which were prepared
with the heavy involvement of those who will be affected
by the results of the total program.
3. Job Evaluation is a systematic method of determining the
internal relationship of positions within an organization.
4. The process of Job Evaluation involves the analysis of a
job (not a person) to determine its requirements, responsi-
bilities assigned, and its influence on City operating
•results.
5. Job Evaluation will analyze a specific job in terms of
requirements to perform it in a fully satisfactory manner,
not in terms of hiring requirements or requirements for
superior performance.
6. The evaluation method to be used is known as a poin~s_ys-
tgm, also often referred to as a point-factor system.
This system is the most respected and generally recognized
and used system in business, industry and government today.
--- However, the factors, weightings and techniques
used in the job-evaluation process may and do
vary from one employer to another.
7. Differences in jobs with government also require variations
in the factors used. For example, a factor used in some
job-evaluation systems is "Planning." While the "Planning"
factor is important in the evaluation of administrative-
. management positions, it is not critical in the evaluation
of nonexempt office positions.
--- Therefore, different factors and thus differ-
ent but complimentary job-evaluation
techniques are used to evaluate jobs within
the same organization, such as ---
- Office (nonexempt) positions
- Technical and engineering positions
- Managerial positions
1 Stanton Associates, Inc.
8. Separate job classifications and salary groupings are
-often recommended for the following job groupings ---
--- Office and related positions
--- Maintenance, technical and engineering positions
--- Supervisory, Administrative, Management
positions
9. A Job Evaluation Committee will be appointed. This Com-
mittee will usually consist of two, and nor more than
three, permanent members. Such members need to be
respected as open-minded and knowledgeable top administra-
tive-level people by the employees whose jobs will be
affected by the job evaluation process.
--- Their role is to provide objectivity and
consistency in the evaluation process.
In addition, individual Department Heads will function
as a rotating member of the Evaluation Committee when
positions under their supervision are being evaluated.
10. Representatives of Stanton Associates, Inc., will be
present as recorders and resource people to guide the
evaluation procedure.
11. Position Responsibility Write-ups will be made available
to each member of the Evaluation Committee for reference
purposes in the evaluation process,
12. The procedure will be to complete evaluations of all
positions within a department on one factor before moving
on to the next factor.
--- Experience has shown this procedure results
in more consistent ratings
13. During the evaluation process, frequent reference is en-
couraged by Evaluation Committee members. to how other
positions were rated on a particular factor.
14. No intentional reference is made to point values, salaries
of job incumbents,- or present salary ranges of positions
during the- evaluation process,
--- Experience has shown more reliable, objective
and consistent evaluations are achieved if
such distractions are avoided.
2 Stanton Associates, Inc.
15. Results of the job-evaluation process will be reviewed
with the respective Department Heads as they relate to
positions under their supervision.
16.. Thereafter, Department Heads will be provided an oppor-
tunity to review the overall results of the evaluation
process as they relate to how positions are classified
in other departments.
17. The Evaluation Committee will, after the initial evalua-
tion process, reconvene from time to time as may be
justified to evaluate positions where position require-
ments or responsibilities have changed or new positions
have been established.

Subject: Request for Special Use Permit, 306 E. 78th St.
An application for a special use permit has been filed by
Steve Kuklinski of the Assumption Church and by Keith Bednarowski
and George Conner of Progress Valley. The requested special use
permit is to allow conversion of the existing Assumption Church
convent building into a community based group care residential
facility for 24 chemically dependent women, with nine staff members
and two live-in staff members. The building, located at 306 E.
78th Street, would be leased from the Assumption Church by Progress
Valley.

Comprehensive Plan: The comprehensive-plan indicates the area
of the site should be developed for churches
or church-related facilities.
STAFF REVIEW
The zoning ordinance does not strictly define a use classifica-
tion such as the one proposed in this projecr.. 'rhe Nrcr~~cd use
would be a dormitory type use that would in a sense be a residential
treatment facility, and. a group housing (multi-family) development.
The zoning ordinance prohibits multi-family developments in resident-
ial (R) zones, but allows dormitory type developments such as
fraternities and sororities, as well as buildings for the treatment
of human ailments, with a special use permit.
The staff has determined that the proposed use is an allowable
use if a special use permit is obtained. The request for a special
use permit should be reviewed against the fallowing criteria:
1. Comprehensive plan
2. Conditions for issuance of a special use permit (3.44
subdivision 5)
3. Special provisions-Group Housing Development (3.37)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
As noted, the comprehensive plan indicates that this site
should be developed as a church or for church related uses. A
group housing development would not be in compliance with the
A
~' Council Letter No. 66 -3- March 13, 1978
comprehensive plan because the facility i.s proposed to be managed
independently from the church,. and, therefore, would not be a
church related use. It could conceivably be argued that the
project would be a church related use because the church is main-
taining ownership of the land, and is endorsing the proposed use
by offering the building to Progress Valley. The comprehensive
plan indicates high density mixed land use all along I-494, except
for the Assumption Church parcel which includes the proposed site.
A group housing development would be an eligible land use within
that classification. In that respect, the proposed use would seem
consistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan for the area.
SPECIAL. USE PERMIT ISSUANCE CONDITIONS
The zoning ordinance (3.41, subdivision 5) states that a special
use permit shall not be issued if the proposed use-would be detrim-
ental....
"l. to the health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience
or welfare of the persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of such use, or
2. to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in the neighborhood."
The site of the proposed development is on the frontage road
bordering I-494, and is in an isolated area of the .community. The
use of the site should have very little impact on any residential
neighborhoods of the city. The Assumption-.Church will buffer the
residential area north of 77th Street from the proposed development,
and I-494 is immediately south of the site. There are two single
family homes to the west, and two single family homes and one 12
unit and three 16 unit apartment buildings, to the east of the site.
Access to the property will be from the frontage road, so all traffic
into and out of the site will be from the. south. This will keep the
traffic generated by the proposed use away from the residential
neighborhood to the north and away from three of the four multi-
family dwellings in the area.
A apartment use could be expected to generate 6.1 trips (ADT)
per unit, which would result in 73 ADT for a 12 unit building.
This figure would probably be a high for the proposed development,
as all the residents would not own cars. Current traffic counts
are not available for the frontage road. Traffic records indicate
the following accident history for 78th Street between Nicollet
and Portland Avenues:
1972 - 3
1973 - 18
1974 - 5
1975 - 7
1976 - 4
The majority of the accidents occurred at the intersections of
78th and Portland and 78th and Nicollet. According to the public
safety department, the proposed use should not pose any additional
traffic problems to the area.
Council Letter No. 66 -4- March 13, 1978
Progress Valley has indicated that residents of the facility
will be working in various suburbs in the area during the day and
will rely on public transportation, where possible. The staff has
reviewed accessibility of the :site to bus transportation, and
found it to be limited with the nearest bus stop located at Nic-
oli~t and 76th Street. That bus line would provide direct service
to downtown Minneapolis and areas of Bloomington. Access to other
suburbs would be limited because service is either not available
or because it is-time consuming, involving transfers. Progress
Valley is proposing to provide a van for transporting patients to
and from work, to supplement bus and automobile transportation.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR GROUP HOUSING DEVELOP-
MENTS:
In determining the requirements which must be met, the staff has
defined the number of dwelling units in the building to be 12. The
proposed plan. indicates a dormitory type arrangement with two resi-
dents to a room. Each room will have one sink and each patient will
have a closet. These will be sleeping rooms,. with separate facilities
to be provided for eating, meeting, and other activities. There
will be office space in the building for staff.
In reviewing the proposed 12-unit building against the require-
ments found in Section 3.3.7 of the ordinance {Special Provisions,
Group Ho-using Developments), the staff found the following:
1. The proposed development contains more than three
dwelling units, so it meets the definition of a group
housing development;
2. While the development would primarily be a residential
facility, non-residential uses such as offices would
occur on the site;
3. There could be some question whether the proposed
development would produce an environment of a stable
and desirable .character. Progress Valley would be
leasing the building from Assumption Church, so there
is no assurance that the facility willcontinue for any
length of time. Progress Valley is, however, paying
for the required building improvements and has been
successfully operating a similar facility in Minneapolis.
The patients would be there only on a temporary basis
however, which would produce some instability.
4. The building will provide ample open space and proper
dwelling unit exposures;
5. The staff has determined that the development should
provide one parking space per patient {24) plus one
space for each staff member who could be expected to be
at the facility at any one time (6). This would mean
that a total of 30 off-street. parking spaces. The
applicant has indicated on the site plan that 30 spaces
would be provided;
;~ Council Letter No. 66 -5- March 13, 1978
6. The gross floor area of the structure does not exceed
30 feet;
7. The building has a front yard greater than 30 feet;
8. The building has a rear yard and sideyard setback
greater than 25 feet;
9. The building has a sideyard setback from .industrial or
commercial property greater than 20 feet.
10. The site indicates that the parking area would be less
than 20 feet {5 feet) from the traveled roadway of a
public street;
11. The proposed development would provide 390 square feet
of outdoor living space (90 square feet more than is .
12. The proposed development would have a density less than
20 dwelling units per acre (14 dw/acre);
13. The building site is adequately landscaped, although
insufficient information is available to determine
whether the parking lot in sufficiently landscaped;
14. The adjacent single family residential property could be
adversely affected. Proximity to the facility could
make sale of the single family homes more difficult if
the current property owners decided to leave. It can
be argued, however, that single family residential use
is not the best use. of the land in .this area, because
of the noise and pollution impacts of I-494 and the
surrounding commercial and industrial uses.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The planning commission reviewed the request for a special
use permit at their February 21_, 1978 meeting. The commission
recommended that the city council issue a special use permit permitt-
ing the existing Assumption Church convent .building to be converted
into a residential facility for not more than 28 chemically de-
pendent persons, with the following stipulations:
1. That the proposed parking conform with standards
required by city ordinance, and that an off-street
parking contract be executed;
2. That Progress Valley provide a van for the transportation
of-its residents between the hours of. 6:00 a.m. and 6:00
p.m.
3. That proper landscaping be provided on the east and
west sides of the property.
~ Council Letter No. 66 -6- March l3, 1978
.. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff findings indicate that, because of the "isolated"
location of the facility, the proposed use should have minimal
negative impact on surrounding neighborhoods and on the public
welfare. The staff feels that the existing structure is well
suited for the type of use which the applicant is proposing.
It is the recommendation of the planning director that the city
council take the following action:
Approve issuance of a special use permit to operate a group
care residential facility for not more than 28 chemically de-
pendent persons. at 306 East 78th Street, with the stipulations
that the proposed parking area be upgraded to standards required
in city ordinances, that an off-street parking contract be ex-
ecuted, that Progress Valley provide a van for transportation
of its residents between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and .6:00 p.m.,
and that proper landscaping be provided on the east and west
sides of the property.

Force, active AA member and board member of Wayside House, a halfway
houses for chemically dependent women.

able, professional, responsible and innovative program he has dealt with. He
is also extremely impressed by their ability to operate a quality program
without reliance on large governemental expenditures.
Track Record:
The present facility operated by Progress Valley was visited by staff of the
South Hennepin Human Service Council. ~+e were impressed by the fact that it
was indistinguishible from the rest of the neighborhood, was tastefully deco-
rated and exuded a warm and caring atmosphere. Progress Valley has the strong
and continuing support of the kauenhorst Corporation.

At it's November 16, 1977 Board Meeting, the South Hennepin Human forvchemically
Council endorsed the need for an extended rehabilitation program,
dependent women, in the South Hennepin area and the capacity of Progress Valley,
Inc. to deliver effective and accountable services.
In our review of the program you currently offer for men, we determined that you
have shown an excellent recovery rate and have the full confidence of professionals
referring clients to your program. It is our judgement that an extended rehabili-
tation program for women will complement the other chemical deperoachyindicates
that have recently been developed in this area and that your app
that you will succeed in gaining wide spread community acceptance and support.
We are prepared to assist you in anyway we can as you finalize your space require-
ments and seek a conditional use permit. Let us kno~.a how we can Help assure that
the needed services you are prepared to offer become a reality for area residents.

WHAT IS PitOGkES:; V~~LLEY3
Progress Valley is a therapeutic living experience coupled with
the work ethic to return the hlcohol/Lrug dependent person to
tl"ie world of today in such a manner that this person no longer
relies on any Alcohol/Lrug substance to enable him/her to cope
with life as it was meant to be lived.
c
First let me quote 4Jebster as to,t2~P term experience: "The
actual living through an event or events; actual enjoyment or
suffering; hence, the effect upon the judgement or feelings pro-
duced by personal and direct impressions; as to know by experience."
Second, the work ethic means the responsibility of going to a
place of employment and actually doing eight hours of work and
being compensated for this work in dollars, enabling a person to
purchase the necessities of life.
The experience starts whE:n a person is referz~eci to 2rocjress Valley )
by eitY~er self or some agency who thinks that this person: reeds
rehabilitation for his addiction. The person is interviewed by
one of tl-.e staff who takes personal data such as age, addiction
history, anc health. (It is necessary to be physically able to
work to be eligible for the program.) If this person is seen as
a suitable referral, he/she then goe= before a selection committee
of 4 or S current residents. This committee talks with and con-
fronts the person on his/hers reason:,= for wantinc; to be at rroyress
Valley. They do not try ±o. pie}: "w] nt~e.rs" , but are most inter-
ested in the persor: who ~.aar.ts t~~ r.Ei,ai.~i].itate the^aelf, at this
point in tirr,e. ~y~-ier. accepted, this .person is given a date when
he/she can enter the program.
Upon entering i'royress Valley, a bed is assigned. Hl~o, the ne-
cessary paper work is done and tl;e person is ready to begin, Ti.e
first priority is the job; if he/sY,e ila5 one, fine; if he/she
does not ile/she will be advi~ec: uy tl~e~ st-3L-~ anc] other residents
as to what jobs ar.e available, wher^ they are located, and. how to
get there. It is not recd„:ended that tl:e ur.emy loyed person seek
career employment, at this time, but rather any type of employ--
roent that will takes care of current i~asi.c ne~~~ds (such as room and
board, ciyarette,s, etc.) . Tho idea of rJrnplu~~rn~~nt .is a ~~sic ther-
apy in itself. becausE. It j~LItS rcc~u.larity intc a life that previ-
ously has been unregulated. Also. th~~ c]i.sciF~line invo'ved in get-
ting up, getting to work, and performing is therapeutic. -The
rewards o~ worY~ are pretty basic, i.e. money, ~atisiaction, and
a sense of being. 13ut more important to our clients, it is the
starting point for building a new life.
:~o much for work. l~io'.a, what hapF~E.ns therapeutically in ti,e croup
living experience is loves, trust, freedom, uncierst.anding, empathy]
and so on. Flow is all of this. accomF~lishedl 't'hrough peer-groups,
through staff, and through self.

Let us first examine the group. It is comprised of twenty-four
people ages 18 to 60, from all walks of life, with one common
identity. They are all addicted to Alcohol/Drugs or both. They
all have other problems such as marital, dependency, money, prison
records, parole, job loss, and many others. ~+s the process begins,
each person is asked to introduce themself to the entire group,.
relating his/her story of themself, his/leer addiction, and his/her
f eelinas. This initial group exposure is the basis from which the
group process begins.

Mr. Don Stuhlman, Director
Progress Valley
3033 Garfield Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55408
Dear Don:
February 2, 1977
The purpose of this letter is to lend support of the Mental
Health, Mental Retardation and Chemical Dependency (I~iH/MR/CD)
Department to your endeavor to develop a halfway house for
chemically dependent women in Hennepin County. The need for
such a facility is obvious if one simply listens to staff of
primary residential treatment programs who state that they
are unable to place female clients for aftercare purposes
because no vacancies exist in halfway houses.
Although we generally support the development of all services
to chemically dependent people, there are definitely some fac-
tors which we would like to have taken into consideration
during the course of development of this project.
The issue of location is paramount. There is clearly a need
to look to the suburban areas of Hennepin County for future
development,af CD services. This is consistent with recent
Hennepin County Board action, as well as good programming
sense. A hypothesis which has been proven repeatedly is that
programs developed heretofore, in underserved areas, tend to
act as case-finding agents. This fact is of particular impor-
tance when addressing the needs of one of our largest under-
served populations -- women.
Another issue is that of flexible programming. There is defi-
nitely a need for the availability of residential facilities,
especially for those which address the special needs of women,
which also allow for participation in outpatient treatment pro-
grams. This presents. for many, a viable, cost effective al-
ternative to more expensive inpatient primary residential treat-
ment.
The availability of services within Hennepin County for non- .
Hennepin County residents is also a significant need which should
f fer~nepi,~t CourNy rs an A!!,rm,a!;ve r".chon Employer
,~
~n Stuhlman (2) 2/2/77
,e considered. There are a number of residents of other counties
rho are, for clinical reasons, in need of supportive residential
aftercare away from their usual home. To the extent that we, in
Hennepin County, can serve these clients, withcut detracting from
services available to Hennepin County residents, benefits all of
us.
As you know, Hennepin County is redirecting its services for
chemically dependent people. This limits the County's ability
to provide financial support for any new programs, however, pro-
viding there was full utilization by existing programs that we
operate or contract, and also providing that the proposed pro-
gram offered services which Hennepin County residents could, use,
to the extent of funds available, we would attempt to provide
more services to Hennepin County residents by contracting for a
limited number of beds.
Another factor you will need to consider is that the State is
not anticipating providing any Grant-in-Aid for additional half-
way house capacity. This policy seems to have the support of the
relevant committees of the State Legislature. Action on that
level may be advisable before any expectations of State funds can
be anticipated.
The above factors are offered as program development guides for
your consideration. Our desire is that new programs increase
the availability of service to Hennepin County residents, while
at the same time minimize adverse affects upon, and complement
existing elements of the continuum.
I s;~.L.,._:~-f-, ,=re recom~:nn'? co:~tinuing your efforts toward develop-
ment of a halfway house for women within the context of the limits
stated above. '

Dear Ibn
One of the rmre obvious gaps in the chemical dependency continuum
of care is halftiyay house beds for «~fnen.
Though we have Granville House in our own backyard, we are
constantly in need of rrbre beds and the waiting lists are useless.
The transition from Primary Treatment to halfway house must be
immediate, not only from a therapeutic point of view but from the
practica.I fact that we lose the majority of these wcxnen because they
change their mind while waiting.
Specifically, Washington County would have placed an additional
15 wUfnen in halfway rouses in 1976 if the beds had been immediately
available.
We now have in operation a "jtiomen for Women" chemical dependency
program in the county which is invol~,ed specifically in casefinding and
referral of chemically dependent women and, if this pro~;r•~un is successful,
we would estimate Washington County's needs for the coming year to
increase to 25 beds.
Please keep me informed of your efforts in this direction because
it is a constant source of concern to us.
Very Sincerely,
~~ . L-

RE: Halfway House Facilities
Dear Don:
We are pleased to hear of your concern and plans in the area of
additional program development at Progress Valley, Inc. We feel
there is a great need for quality, work-oriented halfway house
programs.
Coming from the perspective of the staff at Hazelden, we feel the
greatest need in the field is for the female chemically dependent
person. Our single greatest problem in halfway house placements
is for the female patient. We have the additional problem of
out-of-state female patients.
Thus, we are hopeful you'll be able to give consideration to the
serious need for additional facilities for the female chemically
dependent person.
There are many areas for potent-al cooperation. Your ideas or.
revenue were mosir helpful.
Sincerely,

Dear Don,
This is to follow-up on our telephone conversation of today in which j
you indicated you are exploring the possibility of opening a female
Halfway House.
I'd like to emphasize that we feel there is a real need for more female
Half~ray House beds. 6Je currently use Granville and Wayside ~vhen there is
a bed available but unfortunately they are full so much of the time. In
addition, I think there is a real need fora female Halfway House with the
same type of programing-you have at Progress '!alley. I am certain that if
you inquire of other inpatient treatment facilities you will get the same
response.
I hope you will be able to get some positive results and avill appreciate
it if you will keep me informed.
Sincerely,

Dear Don:
The staff here at Chanhassen Treatment Center highly
endorse your board's effort in establishing a women's
halfway house.
One of the main reasons I am excited that Progress
Valley is looking into this matter is t::..l I like your
philosophy of asking for a shorter time commitment than
other halfway houses. My reasoning behind this state-
ment is that women in this culture are conditioned to
be dependent and to consider others before self. Thus
chemically dependent women arrive at a halfway house
with a duel dependency - a dependency on chemicals and
a dependency on others. _
With your shorter stay your philosophy forces women to
break this dependency on others and become more suppor-
tive to themselves.
In the very near future, Don, we here at The Chanhassen
Center will be starting a 15 to 20 bed treatment program
for females. The need for halfway houses will surely
increase. I would estimate 50 to 60 referrals to
Progress Valley's women's halfway house each year.

Subject: Commendation Awards
For the past several years, the public safety
has had a semi-annual commendation award program t
achievements both by public safety department empl
citizens who have made significant contributions t
safety effort in our community. Two public safety
awards have been scheduled for presentation at the
meeting of March 13, 1978.

oyees and
o the public
commendation
city council
The first award is a citizen commendation award to be presented
to a Mr. Bruce S. Stone, of 7310 15th Avenue. Shortly after mid-
night on July 11, 1977,. Mr. Stone was driving by a supermarket
in the vicinity of 66th Street and Chicago Avenue when he observed
a suspicious person placing a stocking mask over his head and
entering the store with what appeared to be a handgun. Mr. Stone
remained in the area and observed the suspect flee from the
store, as well as noted the license number of the vehicle used by
the suspect. Mr. Stone showed excellent attention to detail which
provided the public safety department with accurate enough inform-
ation to enable successful apprehension of the suspect within a
short time. It is the opinion of the Public Safety Director that
Mr. Stone's willingness to involve himself in a potentially haz-
ardous incident, and his active role in assisting the public safety
department is worthy of recognition.
The second award is a special commendation award to be presented
to former Richfield Police Officer Ronald Holt. Officer Holt left
our department last month to assume a position as Chief of Police
of Melrose, Minnesota. Officer Holt served with the public safety
department for more than ten years, and his last four years he
had responsibility for development and management of our crime
prevention program. Officer Holt's efforts in the area of crime
prevention, pedestrian and bicycle safety have won the City of
Richfield national recognition for innovative and effective programs.
Officer Holt also managed the Emergency Services Division as
«~° ~' Council Letter No. 65 -2- March 13,1978
Coordinator of Richfield's fifty public safety volunteer reserve
officers. Officer Holt's efforts in this area have resulted in
-the Richfield program being the model for the rest of the state.
For his outstanding contribution to these public safety efforts,
the Public Safety Department has nonimated Officer Holt for a
distinguished service award.

Subject:- Request for Variances, 7300 Stevens Avenue
Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Miller, 6920 13th Avenue, have requested
variances to the sideyard setback requirements in a residential
(R) district, to allow them to remove asmall substandard dwelling
on a lot located at 7300 Stevens Avenue and construct a new single
family dwelling on the site.
The following items are attached to this letter and will be
referred to throughout:
Exhibit A - proposed site plan
Exhibit B - proposed elevations
Exhibit C - current area land use
Exhibit D - current .area zoning
Exhibit E - letter from applicant
BACKGROUND
Parcel Size: 50.85' x 134.5' (6,839.33 square feet)
Existing Structures: One vacant 1 1/2 story dwelling
(596 square feet) built in 1942, (will be removed)
Proposed Structures: One two story single family dwelling
with a tuck under garage with a gross floor area of 2,388
square feet.
Setbacks: Existing Dwelling:
hear - 10.2 feet
Interior sideyard
Street sideyard -
Proposed Dwelling:
Front - 31.45 feet
Rear - 54.55 feet
Interior sideyard
Street sideyard -
Front-94.7 feet
- 24.85 feet
4.0 feet
- 5.0 feet
5.85 feet
Council Letter No. 64 -2- March 13, 1978
Required Setback:
Front - 30 feet
Rear - 25 feet
Interior sideyard - 10 feet
Street sideyard - 10 feet.
Section 3.30, subdivision 4.3 of the zoning ordinance requires
that buildings of two or more stories in a residential (R) district
have interior sideyards of not less than 10 feet in width. The
proposed building would have an interior sideyard of five feet,
which means that a five foot variance is required.
The zoning ordinance does not specify what the required street
side sideyard should be for a corner lot abutting on another corner
lot. However, Section 3.30, subdividion 4.3 requires that the
buildable width of a corner lot not be reduced to less than 30 feet.
Using the minimum buildable width requirement and interior sideyard
setback requirement, it can be determined that the required street
side sideyard setback would be 10.85 feet. This can be determined
by subtracting the required buildable width and the required interior'
sideyard dimensions from the actual width of the lot: 50.85 feet
(actual lot width) - 30 feet (required width) - 10 feet (required
interior sideyard) = 10.85 feet.
The proposed building would have a street side sideyard of
5.85 feet, thus requiring a five foot variance-for the street side
side side yard. If the five foot interior sideyard setback is
granted, the required streetside setback would be 15.85 feet, using
the same method of calculation, which would mean that a 10 foot
streetside setback variance would be needed instead of a five foot
variance.
In reviewing the request for variance, the staff has discovered
that a third variance would be necessary before the proposed project
could be built. The lot on which the house is to be built is "non-
conforming" because it has an area of 6,839.33 square feet while
the minimum lot area required by ordinance for a residential (R)
district is 8,000 square feet. Therefore, a 1,160.67 square foot
variance to the minimum lot area .requirements would be necessary.
The applicant should be required to submit a Registered Land
Survey for this proposal. The property is now described by a metes
and bounds legal description which presents several problems in
boundary determination. This is especially a problem when city
staff have to draw up legal descriptions for easements, rights-
of-way and zoning district boundaries, and for taxation and assess-
ment purposes. State statutes no longer allow platting land by
metes and bounds description.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUING A VARIANCE
A request for variance must be judged in accordance with-the
conditions for issuing a variance set forth in Section 3.41, sub-
division 6 of the city code (Exhibit E). The city council should
grant the variances only if all three of these conditions are
present on the property.
Council Letter No. 64 -3- March 13, 1978
STAFF REVIEW
2'he staff has reviewed the requests for variance against these
three conditions, and made the following findings:
1. That there are special circumstances or conditions
affecting the particular land, building or use referred
to in the application, not common to other properties in
this district or similar districts.
It is ~~he opinion of the staff that there are special conditions
affecting this property not common to other properties in the
district. The proposed project would involve the removal of a
vacant substandard dwelling. In inspecting the neighborhood, the
staff found that this was the only property in the neighborhood
on which there was a vacant .substandard dwelling. It should also
be noted that the house and garage on the adjacentlot to the west
of the subject property has a streetside setback similar to that
which the proposed project would have.
2. That the granting of the a
the preservation and en'oy
ri hts.
lication is necessary for
nt of substantial propert
It is the opinion of the staff that the sideyard variances are not
necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial prop-
erty rights. Denial of the variance does not preclude the applicant
from still using the property for single family residential use.
However, the variance to the minimum lot area requirement would be
necessary for the enjoyment of substantial property rights. If
this .variance is not granted, the applicant would be unable to
develop the property.
3. That the granting of the ap lication will not materially
or adversely affect the health and safety of persons
residing or working i~n the neighborhood of the property
of the applicant and will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to property or improve-
ments in the neighborhood.
The proposal represents a substantial improvement to the property
and significant investment in the neighborhood. The proposed pro-
ject would result in the removal of a substandard dwelling and the
construction of a new dwelling, which will improve and strengthen
the residential character of the neighborhood. The setback re-
quirements in city ordinance are established to help prevent
crowded, unsafe conditions, and the proposal would result in two
dwellings being 10 feet apart. The city fire service division
sees no special problem with this situation, however, it appears
that the overall project would enhance the viability of the res-
idential neighborhood.
STAFF CONCLUSION
~secause the ordinance requires all three criteria to be sat-
isfied, the staff has developed the following conclusions.
-~
Council Letter No. 64 -4- March 13, 1978
All of the conditions described in Section 3.40, sub-
division 6 exist on the property to enable granting the
variance to the minimum lot size requirements.
All the conditions do not exist to enable granting the
two sideyard variances.
If, however, the city council determines that all three criteria
are satisfied for all the requested variances, it is recommended
that any council action to grant all three variances be made with
the stipulation that the applicant prepare a Registered Land Survey
and file it with Hennepin County.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
~1~he planning commission reviewed the request for variances at
their February 2~, 1978 meeting. The commission voted to recommend
that the r,ity council grant the following variances to the residential
zoning ordinance requirements for the property located at 7300 Stevens
Avenue.
1. A 1,160.67 square foot variance to the minimum lot
requirements;
2. A five foot variance to the interior sideyard setback
require^!e:_ts;
3. A ten foot variance to the streetside sideyard setback
requirements.
The planning commission further recommended that the variances
be granted with the stipulation that a Registered Land Survey be
prepared by the applicant and filed with Hennepin County.

The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Application to Move House within the City
On February 27, 1978 the HRA authorized execution of an agreement
with the Suburban Hennepin County Area Vocational Technical School for
moving the dwelling presently located at 6501 Grand Avenue to 7444
Bryant Avenue, and its rehabilitation at the new site. The Vocational
Technical Institute is now requesting city council authorization to
move this dwelling from the Grant Avenue location to the Bryant Avenue
property.
6501 Grand Avenue was acquired by the HRA on November 10, 1977 for
the Lyndale/Hub/Nicollet project. The dwelling is a three bedroom
expansion rambler with a stucco exterior, constructed in 1946, and is
in good condition. The current market value of the house is $45,000.
The house has 910 square feet on the first floor, after the rehabilita-
tion work is completed by Vo-Tech, the living area will total 1,225 square
feet. The present dimensions of the house are 28' x 30' and Vo-Tech
plans to expand the depth by an additional six feet.
There presently is a substandard dwelling on the property at 7444
Bryant Avenue. Purchase of this dwelling was also authorized by the
HRA on February 27, 1978. Demolition of the existing structure at 7444
Bryant Avenue and the moving of the house at 6501 Grand Avenue is in-
eluded in the contract with the Vo-Tech School, and the school will be
responsible for the contracting and supervising of the mover.
Attached is a plot plan showing the proposed location of the house
at 7444 Bryant. The placement of the dwelling on the property is in
compliance with the city's zoning ordinance. Also attached is a peti-
tion signed by the seven adjacent homeowners, indicating that they
are in agreement with the proposal.
Work to be required on the buildings is as follows:
1. New basement, floor and reinstall stair as per code.
2. Repair minor cracks in stucco, also continue stucco to
below grade.
3. Repair and replace proper footing under fireplace chimney.
Council Letter No. 62 -2- March 13, 1978
4. Insulation throughout dwelling to check and upgrade in U-value.
5. Retile upstairs floor or carpet, also carpet living and
dining room areas.
6. Ceiling height in expanded attic not to code. (Moved
dwellings are to meet code for new dwellings)
7. Install deadbolt at each entry door.
8. Redecorate as needed after structure is moved.
9. New stoop and steps at each entry door.
10. Install new furnace (existing air conditioner may be re-
installed}
11. New electric service and upgrade outlet and F.F. interceptor.
12. Install water heater, new if existing is over 4 years old.
13. Install new water line
loo. Install new sewer line.
15. Repaint all exterior wood and ewe troughs.
16. Repair or replace ceramic at bathtub head.
17. Secure proper permits for all work.
Lot:
1. Finish grade and sod lot
2. Installconnecting sidewalk between front and side entrys
3. Landscape at street side of dwelling as per HRA approval.
These work items fit within the improvement work provided for
in the agreement between the HRA and th? Vo-Tech. Therefore, it
is recommended that the council approve the application to move the
house located at 6501 Grand Avenue to 7444 Bryant Avenue.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No . 61
Agenda March 13, 1978
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Approval of 19,78 - 1979 Agreement with Richfield
Police Officers Federation Bargaining Unit
The purpose of this council letter is to submit for city council consideration
and action a new 1978 - 79 agreement which has been negotiated between the
City of Richfield and the Richfield Police Officers Federation. The agreement
has been approved by the federation. Implementation is subject to consideration
and approval by the city council.
The Richfield Police Officers Federation represents a total of thirty-eight
positions in the city service. This total amount includes twenty-six police
officer positions , eight investigator/agent positions and four dispatchers .
A copy of the new negotiated 1978 - 79 labor contract has previously been
distributed to council members so that you would have an opportunity to review
it prior to the March 13 city council meeting. This two year contract provides
for a number of changes in 1978. Only two kinds of changes are permitted to
be open for negotiations in 1979. The 1979 negotiations will be limited to
salary adjustments and employer insurance premium contributions.
The major changes in the contract are as follows:
1. Employees may have the option of being compensated for overtime
through compensatory time off at the rate of time and one half u~
to a maximum amount of sixty-four hours . Prior to 1978 all over-
time had to be paid in cash at the rate of time and one half of the
hourly rate of pay .
2. The educational incentive payment is changed to increase the
per credit payment from forty-five cents to fifty cents and from
a maximum of $972 to $1, 080 per year. This change is consistent
with other police contracts in the area .
Council Letter No. 61 - 2 - March 13, 1978
3. The maximum clothing allowance was increased from $200
to $215 per year which again: is consistent with other police
contracts .
4. The accumulation of sick leave was increased from a maximum
of 800 hours to 960 hours which is consistent with other police
contracts .
5. -Anew three percent longevity step was added. We strongly
disagree in concept with this item. However, it was very
important to the bargaining unit and affects only five indi-
viduals. As you know, the contract contains a phase out
provision for longevity so it is a small cost item which can-
not be extended to other individuals in the future.
6. The contract contains a severance pay provision which pro-
vides for a payment of one-third of accumulated sick leave
to a maximum of 400 hours upon honorable termination for any
employee with at least ten years of continuous service. Again,
this was an item with which we strongly disagreed and which
we attempted to keep out of the contract. On the other hand,
this was a high priority item for the bargaining unit and had we
not agreed, it would have caused the bargaining unit to seek
binding arbitration. Our chances in binding arbitration of
successfully opposing this benefit would not be good since
it is one currently received by most police in the Twin Cities
area; and, also, by Local 1215 bargaining unit members in
Richfield as a result of the 1976 fire fighter arbitration case.
7. For the first time, a maximum. over all dollar limit has been
negotiated for health insurance premium contributions . Prior
to 1978, the police contract contained a maximum for dependent
premium contribution but provided for 100 percent of the single
premiums no matter what the cost. The maximum amount for
1978 is $71 per month.
8. The salary increase for the police officers is 7.85 percent
which amounts to a top police officer pay rate of $l , 510 per
month. The comparable rate in the City of Bloomington is
$1 , 525 per month for 1978. It is anticipated that the Local
320 binding arbitration salary decision will fall somewhere
between $1 , 510 per month and $1, 525 per month.
The increase for investigator/agent is 7.29 percent which
amounts to a top monthly pay rate of $1 , 620 per month.
The increase for dispatchers is 7.80 percent for each of the
steps in the dispatcher pay grade.
Gauncil Letter No. 61 - 3 - March 13, 1978
It is recommended that the city council adopt the following two resolutions:
1. A resolution authorizing a transfer of $50,375 from the contingency
fund to cover the 1978 cost of implementing this contract.
2. A resolution approving this labor contract for the years 1978 - 79.

Subject: Public Hearing on MTC Bus Garage
The attached notice indicates that there will be a public
nearing on March 14, 1978 for the purpose of considering the
MTC bus garage proposed to be constructed on MAC property at
1494 and 24th Avenue South.
The City of Richfield has supported this project at this
location and I believe it would be appropriate for the city
council to continue to indicate that support by adopting a
formal resolution which could be submitted for public hearing
purposes at the March 14, 1978 hearing.
In the event the city council wishes to follow this sugg-
estion action can be taken at the March 13, 1978 city council
meeting and an appropriate resolution prepared and delivered
on the following day.

RE: South Garage Grant Application - Amendment #1 to MN-03-0013,
Notice of Public Hearing
Dear Mr Burggraaff:
In March of 1975, the Metropolitan Transit Commission submitted a Capital
Grant Application to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration for the
construction of a 300 bus capacity garage at one of three alternative sites.
In the almost three years since the submittal of the original capital grant,

The Housing Assistance Plan reflects the need for an incr-eased
effort to meet the housing needs of low and moderate income fam-
ilies in Richfield. The goals presented in the Housing Assistance
Plan indicate that 70% of the housing assistance provided in the
next three years would be directed toward income-eligible families.
The Housing Assistance Plan proposed continued use of the HRA's
Section 8 rental assistance program, housing rehabilitation grants,
and .low interest loans through the HRA and Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency programs, and new construction utilizing the Section 8 and
the HRA's New Home programs.
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
resolution, approving .the Community Development Plan-and the Housing
As istance'Plan, and authorize the city manager to submit the
Year IV-VL Community Development Block Grant application to Hennepin
County.

PLANNING
Minnesota Statute 473.851, 1976-requires that all communities
in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area develop or up-
date a comprehensive development plan. Elements to be included
in these plans include housing, land use, airport concerns,
and public facilities. An implementation program must also be
established.
The plan and plan re visions must be completed by July, 1980.
This means that during the next two and one-half years, the
planning department must be working on revising and updating
the current comprehensive plan. The total cost of revising
the plan is estimated to be $136,848, of which approximately
$6,000 has been received from the state.
It is proposed that $70,000 of Community Development Block
Grant funds be designated toward these planning activities.
The remaining cost of the plan revision is funded through the
general fund budget as part of the planning department opera-
tion.
The comprehensive plan will assess the present state of the
city, will help identify the needs of low and moderate income
people, and will be the basis for city policies necessary for
meeting those identified city needs.

LAND ACQUISITION
This project would provide funds for the Richfield Housing and
Redevelopment Authority to acquire and clear property, if
necessary, to provide three or four bedroom housing units for
qualifying low and moderate income large families. The construc-
tion of the housing units would be with other funds such as
HUD 235, or HUD Section 8 New Construction. The program would

consist of the purchase of three existing substandard homes
and/or vacant lots available for sale. The lots would be
cleared, if necessary, and then sold at a reduced cost to
qualifying low and moderate income families for the construc-
tion of new housing units. The project would provide needed
housing units for families as well as help eliminate residen-
tial blight.

This project would provide three types of housing rehabilita-
tion grants. The first type would provide grants of up to
$1,000 to qualifying low and moderate income persons to supple-
ment rehabilitation loans provided through local banks with
funds from Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to improve their
homes. The grant may be used to either "write down" the cost
of the loan, or to finance additional improvements necessary
to bring the house up to city code. It is anticipated that
25 such grants will be provided in Year IV.
The second type of rehabilitation grants would be to provide
assistance in an amount of up to $5,000 to qualifying low
income persons to rehabilitate their homes. Five such grants
will be provided in Year IV.
The third type of grants would provide low and moderate income
persons with new solid core doors, dead bolt locks, window
locks and smoke detectors to help prevent burglaries and to
reduce the danger of deaths and injuries from fire. One-
hundred fifty such grants will be provided in Year IV.

4. PARK DEVELOPMENT
This project would involve the development of Adams Hill Park,
a major park, in an area not presently served by developed
city park facilities. The park development is a joint effort

with the City of Edina. The city would use $100,000 of commun-
ity development funds in Year IV to hire an architect, hold
neighborhood citizen participation meetings, develop an appro=
priate design, and complete some initial site work.
Adams Hill Park is in Census Tract 243, Block Group 3.
According to 1970 Census data, 23.7 per cent of the families.
living in Census Tract 2.43 and 36.6-per cent of the people in
Block Group 3 (Blocks 300-399) had incomes below $9,000. The
park will also serve an existing 260-unit 236 highrise and a
90-unit Section 8 townhouse complex under development adjacent
to the park in the City of Edina. This would mean an additional
350 low and moderate income families would be served by the
park. This would bring the percentage of the families served
by the park who have low and moderate incomes. up to 67 per cent.
This is well over the 51 per cent needed for the proposed park
development project to be eligible for Community Development
Block Grant funding.
YEAR V
It is anticipated that Year V Community Development funds would be
spent on two projects. The first project would be for the continua-
tion of housing rehabilitation programs for low and moderate income
persons. The existing housing rehabilitation grants program would
be evaluated to determine ii-~ what form the rehabilitation assistance
should be to best meet the needs of low and moderate income people.
It is anticipated that $120,000 would be spent for housing rehabili-
tation activities in Year V.
The second project would be to use $250,000 to carry .out the construc-
tion of the Adams. Hill Park project which was started in Year IV.
YEAR VI
The city is proposing to use the Community Development program to
fund the following projects. First of all, $20,000 would be used
along with local funds to complete the revision of the city's com-
prehensive plan which was begun in Year IV.
The city would use $240,000 to continue and expand it housing rehab-
ilitation assistance to low and moderate income persons.
A third project would use $40,000 to make the existing Senior Citi-
zen Center more accessible to the handicapped. Funds would be used
to construct an elevator to allow interior access to both floors.
Presently, it is necessary for the handicapped to go outside to get
from one floor to the other.

Page 4
Finally, $60,000 would be used to provide general improvements to
the existing New Ford Town Park.- The park has been subject to
vandalism and general wear. Funds would be used for necessary
repairs and replacements and to make the park more vandal-resistant.
Possible acquisition of adjacent properties would be explored also.
New Ford Town Park is in census tract 249.01, Block Group 1.
According to 1970 Census data, 36.7 per cent of the families liv-
ing in Census Tract 249.01, Block Group 1 (Blocks 100-199) had
incomes-below $9,000. This would be short of the required 51 per
cent so the project-would be done as part of the allowed 25 per cent
exception to the 51 per cent rule.

HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN NARRATIVE
CURRENT YEAR GOALS
The HRA is proposing to provide housing assistance to 256 low or
moderate income persons or families from August, 1978 to July,
1979 using various federal, state and local programs. Of the 256
to be assisted, assistance would be given to 86 elderly or-handi-
capped, 155 families of four or less persons per family and 12
families of five or more persons per family.
The first program which the HRA is proposing to use is the federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 8 new
construction program. Using this program the city will provide
five scattered site rental housing units with three or more bedrooms
for large families (five or more persons). These could be town-
houses, duplexes, triplexes, or single units depending on what
sites are available.
The second program which will be used is the HUD Section 8 existing
rental housing assistance program. This program provides qualified
elderly and families with rent subsidies so that they do not have
to pay more than 25 per cent of their adjusted monthly income toward
housing. The HRA is proposing to provide Section 8 existing assis-
tance to eight elderly or handicapped and 27 small families (four
or less persons) on a scattered site basis.- The location of these
units depends on where there are vacancies in existing buildings
which meet HUD rent limit requirements.
The HRA is proposing to provide housing rehabilitation assistance
to low and moderate income homeowners using HUD Community Develop-
ment Block Grant (CDBG} funds and Plinnesota Housing Finance Agency
(MHFA) funds. The HRA will provide 165 CDBG funded grants to low
and moderate income persons to fix up their homes. These grants
will be given to 73 elderly or handicapped, 88 small families, and
four large families. Three types of grants will be given out. There
would be 25 incentive grants up to $1,000 each given out to qualified
persons who have obtained MHFA loans through local lending institut-
ions,~five grants up to $5,000 to low income persons, and 150 minor
property improvements grants to qualified persons to install smoke
detectors, solid core doors, dead-bolt locks, and window locks in
their homes. The MHFA funded rehabilitation assistance would take
the form of grants to low-income persons and loans to low and moder-
ate income persons. The HRA is proposing that 35 MHFA loans and 10
MHFA grants of up to_$5,000 each will be provided to qualified per-
sons between August, 1978 and July, 1979.
Another program which will be utilized is the HUD 235 New Ccnstruction
Program. This program provides funds for the construction of new
single family dwellings for moderate income persons. The city is
proposing to use this program to provide one, new three or more bed-
room large family single family dwelling unit during Program Year IV.
HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN NARRATIVE _ 'Page 2
Another method which the city is proposing to .use to provide hous-
ing assistance between August, 1978 and July, 1979 is the local
New Home Program. This program involves the city purchasing pro-
perty which- is either vacant or which has a substandard dwelling
on it, clearing the property, if necessary, and then selling it to
qualified persons to construct-new .single family dwelling .units.
The lot is sold to qualified persons at a reduced cost as an incen-
tive for development and will serve to expand and upgrade the city's
housing stock. This program will be used to provide one small
family unit and two large family units.
THREE YEAR GOALS
The three-year goal sectionof the Housing Assistance Plan indicates
that-the programs proposed in the preceeding current year coal des-
cription will be continued in Program Years V and VI. One additiona l
program will also be utilized. This is the HUD Section 8 Rental Unit
Rehabilitation Program. This program provides funds to property
owners to rehabilitate existing apartment buildings which have low
or moderate income tenants. The HRA is proposing to rehabilitate a
total of 43 units using this program of which eight will be elderl~~
and 35 will be small family units.
Housing assistance will be given to 834 persons with 246 of those
being elderly or handicapped, 540 being small family and 48 being
large family. This will provide 70.5 per cent of the total housing
assistance to families and 29:5 per cent to elderly.
S Ub1MA RY
To develop the programs and number of housing units to be provided
under each program, staff took a realistic look at what resources
were available both in~ terms of what resources we could reasonably
expect to get from the federal and state governments and in terms
of what HRA staff could effectively carry out. The Housing Assis-
tance Plan is developed to meet the housing assistance needs of low
and moderate income Richfield residents.

L New Construction
The location of new construction completed under the city's New Home
Program will be done on a scattered site basis and will be dependent
on where the city can acquire property on the open market. Twenty ~
units of new construction are being considered as part of 100-unit
development in the vicinity of 65th Street and Lyndale Avenue in census
tract 244.
• 2 Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation with CDBG funds will take place on a city-wide basis.
Richfield is an inner ring fully developed suburb with older housing
scattered throughout the city. Because of this and because low and
moderate income people are scattered throughout the city, there is
need for rehabilitation in all census tracts of the city.

ing assistance between August, 1:978 and July, 1979 is the local
New Home Program. This program-involves the city purchasing pro-
perty which is either vacant or which has a substandard dwelling
on it, clearing the property, if necessary, and then selling it to
qualified persons to construct new single family dwelling units.
The lot is sold to qualified persons at a reduced cost as an incen-
tive for development and will serve to expand and upgrade the city's
housing stock. This program will be used to provide one small
family unit and two large family units.
THREE YEAR GOALS
The three-year goal sectionof the Housing Assistance Plan indicates
that the programs proposed in the preceeding current year goal des-
cription will be continued in Program Years V and VI. One additional
program will also be utilized. This is the HUD Section 8 Rental Unit
Rehabilitation Program. This program provides funds to property
owners to rehabilitate existing apartment buildings which have low
or moderate income tenants. The HRA is proposing to rehabilitate a
total of 43 units using this program of which eight will be elderly
and. 35 will be small family units.
Housing assistance will be given to 834 persons with 246 of those
being elderly or handicapped, 540 being small family and 48 being
large family. This will provide 70.5 per cent of the total housing
assistance to families and 29:5 per cent to elderly.
SUMMARY
To develop the programs. and number of housing units to be provided
under each program, staff took a realistic look at what resources
were available both in~ terms of what resources we could reasonably
expect to get from the federal and state governments and in terms
of what HRA staff could effectively carry out. The Housing Assis-
tance Plan is developed to meet the housing assistance needs of low
and moderate income Richfield residents.

8. EXPLANATION OF SELECTION OF GENERAL LOCATIONS
L 'New Construction
The location of new construction completed under the city's New Home
Program will be done on a scattered site basis and will be dependent
on where the city can acquire property on the open market. Twenty ~
units of new construction are being considered as part of 100-unit
development in the vicinity of 65th Street and Lyndale Avenue in census
tract 244.
• 2 Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation with CDBG funds will take place on a city-wide basis.
Richfield is an inner ring fully developed suburb with older housing
scattered throughout the city. Because of this and because low and
moderate income people are scattered throughout the city, there is
need for rehabilitation in all census tracts of the city.

The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Transfers to CETA Special Project Budgets
Last November, the city council authorized the city manager
to apply to Hennepin County for a special project funded through
the Comprehensive .Employment Training Act. The special project
for which we applied was an energy conservation project designed
to provide for employment of 15 young people between the ages of
16 and 19. The project itself would consist of three major activ-
ities: the first part is an educational phase to educate Richfield
residents in ways to conserve energy; the second aspect of the
project is a rehabilitation phase whereby the city CETA employees
would assist low and moderate income people make improvements or
modifications to their homes designed to save energy. The third
part of this project consists of landscaping and park improvements
to provide for energy savings.
The city received word in early January, 1978 that this
CETA project had been approved. However, it is necessary for
the city council to approve a transfer of funds tp the special
project account so that we may provide the city matching funds
that are required under the CETA project.
The landscaping and park improvement portion of the CETA
energy conservation project includes several park areas and a
number of different projects within those park areas. The city's
share of the funding for this project will be used to provide
supplies and. material necessary for implementing the activities.
This aspect of the CETA. project provides shelter improvements at
Madison, Jefferson, Sheridan and Washington Parks. Planting of
trees and installation of wood work landscaping will be provided
at New Fordtown Park. Play structure and benches will be con-
structed and installed at Sheridan Park and adaptive-play appar-
atus will be constructed and installed at Augsburg Park.
The grant proposal approved by the county provides total
funding for this project in the amount of $160,000. The city's
share of the project is to be $5,610, all of which will be used
,A -r ,
Council Letter No. 58 -2- March 13,.1978
."
tovaard the park improvement and landscaping component of-the
project.
There are some unused appropriations in the two other
city projects which might appropriately be used for providing
the city matching share for the CETA special project. City
Project No. 693., the city hall fire suppression sprinkler system,
has an unused balance of $3,469. ,The remaining $2,141 matching
funds required may be obtained from the park acquisition fund.
Therefore, it is recommended that the city council approve
a transfer of $3,469 from City Project No. 693 and a transfer of
$2,'141 from the park acquisition fund to the CETA special project
account.

Council Letter No. 57
Agenda March 13, 1978
Subject: Agreement with Richfield Swim Club
for Use of Municipal Swimming Pool
Facilities
Each year, for the past several years, the city has entered
into an agreement with the Richfield Swim Club providing for the
club's use of city swimming pool facilities. The Richfield Swim
Club has again requested such an agreement with the city for 1978.
As in past years, the proposed agreement would provide for
the Richfield Swim Club to host an AAU sanctioned class swim
meet for two days at the outdoor Richfield municipal swimming
pool. The proposed dates of the 1978 swim meet are Saturday,
July 1, and Sunday, July 2, 1978. This agreement with the Richfield
Swim Club provides that the city would close the pool to open swimm-
ing on the two days of the swim club sponsored meet.
The Richfield Park and Recreation Advisory Commission reviewed
this proposed agreement at their February 14, 1978 meeting. It is
the recommendation of the advisory commission and the Park and
Recreation Director, in which I concur, that the city council auth-
orize an agreement with the Richfield Swim Club providing for closing
of the municipal pool on July 1 and July 2, 1978 to enable the
Richfield Swim Club to host a competitive swimming event at the
city pool on those dates.

Subject: Recommendation for Denial of Taxicab
Driver's License
The March 13, 1978 city council agenda lists Garry Alan
Mason as an applicant for a taxicab driver license. On the basis
of background investigation by the Public Safety Department, we
are recommending denial of this application.
The applicant has had ten traffic violations since April,
1972. As a result of these convictions, his driver's license has
been suspended on at least three occasions. In April, 1977, Mr.
Mason's driver's license was suspended for a period of 120 days,
and he was classified by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety
as a "habitual violator."
It is the opinion of the Public Safety Department that Mr.
Mason's history of traffic violation convictions relate directly
to the license for which he has applied. Therefore, it is recomm-
ended that this license application be denied.
