J ~s CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 320 Agenda October 11, 1977 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Gentlemen: Subject: Undergrounding of Electric Utilities in L/H/N Project Area As council members are aware, Northern States Power Company has agreed to underground their electric utility lines in the Lyndale/Hub/Nicollet project area. The agreement with NSP provides that the utility company will bear the expense of undergrounding the primary lines along 6.6th Street and that the cost of underground- ing the secondary lines along First Avenue and 65th Street will be borne by the L/H/N project. An agreement with the businessmen provides that the L,~H/N project will also pay tl~ie cost af. extending the secondary electrical connections to the businesses adjacent to First. Avenue. Since it will be least expeizsive to accomplish the undar- groundinq before the street separation medians are constructed, NSP has completed cost estimates and is proposing to begin work on the 66th Street and First Avenue lines this fall. Northern States Power Company has estimated that the cost of undergrounding the service lines along First Avenue will be approximately $28,050, and the cost of extending the service connections to the businesses will be $20, OOG, making the total cost to the L/H/N project equal to about $48, 050. This will will be financed through City Project 705, the L/H/N Public Irnproverrients Project. It is requested that the city council aui.iorize execution of a work agreement with Northern States I'awer Company to complete undergrounding of utility lines in the redevelopment project area, in the amount af. $~18, 050.

TRAFFIC CONTROL COMMITTEE MINUTES September 26, 1977 The traffic control committee convened at 2:00 p.m. , September 26, 1977. Members present were: Tom Morgan, Marshall Raaen, Lt. Bob• Stevens (representating Captain Richardson), Joyce Wilde. The traffic control committee met on Monday, September 26, 1977 to consider several pending matters relating to traffic controls within the city. The committee evaluated the following specific requests for removal or installation of traffic control devices: 1. 12th Avenue and 62nd Street: Joyce Wilde indicated that Councilman Ludeman had requested the committee to csonsider removal of this stop sign, It was the concensus of the committee that this stop sign served no effective function, and should be removed. The committee voted to recommend removal of this stop sign to the city council. 2. East Pleasant Avenue, 73rd Street to 76th Street: Joyce Wilde reported that a petition had been received from neighbors in this area requesting that E. Pleasant Avenue between 73rd Street and 76th Street be designated for one-way traffic only, northbound, Marshall Raaen observed that the staff had previously recommended establishing this area of East Pleasant Avenue as a one-way street, but that no action was taken pending completion of the street im- provement program. The committee voted to recommend to the city council that E. Pleasant Avenue from 73rd Street to 76th. Street be designated as a one-way street, traveling northbound . 3. 68th Street and Sheridan Avenue: Joyce Wilde reported that a petition had been received requesting a two way stop at this inter- section to stop 68th Street traffic. Tom Morgan reported that there did appear to be visibility problems at this intersection, and other committee members who visited the intersection concurred. Lt. Stevens observed that four accidents have occurred since January 1976 at this intersection, indicating a higher than usual accident incidence for a residential intersection. The committee voted to recommend that the city council authorize installation of two way stop signs at the intersection of 68th Street and Sheridan Avenue, 4. Emerson, 65th to 66th Street: Tom Morgan observed that there v~~ere still signs on the east side of this section of Emerson Avenue noting "No Parking During School Hours", and that several residents had indicated an interest in removing the signs since the Woodlake School has been closed. The committee voted to recommend that i ~~ ~ - ~ the city council authorize removal of these signs. 5. 76th Street, Xerxes Avenue to Washburn Avenue• Joyce Wilde reported that Mayor Law and Councilman Luettinger had re- quested the committee to evaluate the desirability of parking prohibitions in this area . Marshall Raaen observed that parking on 76th Street is prohibited throughout the city from Cedar Avenue to Penn Avenue, and that add itional parking regulations do exist on some sections of 76th Street between Penn Avenue and Xerxes Avenue. Tom Morgan observed that, although public safety records indicate no reported accidents involving cars parked in this area, visibility is limited to traffic traveling eastward into Richfield from Edina on 76th Street. The committee voted to recommend that the city council authorize "No Parking Anytime" signs on the south side of 76th Street from Xer~:es Avenue to Washburn Avenue . The committee also discussed two other• items, but made no recommendations. Joyce Wilde reported that a resident had recently visited her to express concerns with safety in the vicinity of the Century Court Apartments at 73rd and Lyndale Avenue. The resident feels that the brick walls adjacent to the driveway leading out of the apartments could be a safety hazard. Committee members agreed that cars exiting from the apartment complex do ne•~d to use care, although Lt. Stevens observed that public safety department records indicate no recurring safety or accident problems iri this area . Marshall Raaen reported that the property owner was required to install the brick walls as part of the off-street parking contract . Joyce Wilde also reported that several residents of the 6800 block of Xerxes Avenue have asked the committee to review parking problems in that area. The committee agreed to contact the City of Edina and gather additional inform-• ation for consideration at the next committee meeting. .DPW 421-2 PETITIOPJ FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT City of Richfield, MN Petition PJo.

PARKING E.K.S. 1520 E. 66th ST. 10/11/77 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No, 314 Agenda October 11 , 197.7 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Gentlemen: Subject: Request for Variance, 1520 East 66th Street Mr, and Mrs. Theodore Olson, representing the Photo Security Systems Corporation, 3905 California Street, Minneapolis, have requested a variance to the ordinance which establishes the front yard building setback line for 1520 E. 66th Street. Mr. and Mrs, Olson would like to construct an office building in place of the deteriorated structure at that location. Background: Parcel Size: 43.5 feet x 125 feet (5, 437.5 square feet) Required front yard Setback: 40 feet Proposed front yard . Setback 13.5 feet This is a corner lot on the northwest corner of Bloomington Avenue and East 66th Street, The variance request is for the Bloomington Avenue front yard. The front yard setback from the street to the building line is required to be at least 40 feet. Thus , any commercial structure wanting to reduce the required 40 foot front yard setback~lz~tance_x_e~uirPS ~ variaYlc~, Zoning Requirement A request for a variance must be judged in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 3, 41, subdivision 6 of the city code . The city council should grant the variance only if all of the conditions necessary for granting a variance are present on the property, Staff Review The staff has reviewed this proposal for the conditions set forth in Section 3.40, subdivision 6 of the zoning ordinance: _. Council Letter No. 314 -2- October 11; 1977 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 or similar districts . It is the opinion of the staff that a special condition does exist. On 66th Street from 12th Avenue to Cedar Avenue, there are nine intersections with a total of thirty-six corner lots. Only five of these lots have frontages less than 75 feet. Of the five corner lots which have commercial buildings , all are constructed to within less than 30 feet from their sideyard property line abutting the street. The setbacks for these five narrow lots range from one foot to twenty-five feet. 2 . -That the grantina of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. It is the opinion of the staff that the granting of this variance is necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights. The setback requirements for a corner lot zoned for commercial use are realistic when there is sufficient frontage on the street serving the commercial traffic. However, when this same require- ment is applied to a commercially zoned corner lot the width of this one, the requirements often prevent construction of a building of a size sufficient to serve as anything more than some type of drive-in establishment. Therefore, this re- quirement would prohibit the applicant from constructing a building compatible with adjacent commercial buildings and conducive to the type of commercial activity located on the east end of 66th Street. 3. That the granting of the application will not materially and adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the pro erty of the applicant and will nct be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improve- ments in the neighborhood. It is the opinion of the staff that granting of the variance will not materially and adversely affect the health and safety of the neighborhood. The structure in the proposed location could serve as a buffer between the single family homes to the north of the site and the commercial and vehicle activity along 66th Street. It is the recommendation of the staff that the request for variance be granted as all three conditions which must be met are present on this property. Planning Commission Recommendation The planning commission heard this request for variance at their September 27, 1977 meeting.

City of Richfield Attnt rir, Hubert Kuehl It is our pleasure to annouce that we have purchased the property known as: Carey Groeery•from Pfr. and 3~irs. Larry L. Sutler. We are aware of the deiapidated conditions of the building, and th~;refore we plan to derrolish it and build up a brand new building.. Attached are a set of plans and rerderings of the rew building for our bus~:ness,-which we are preparing to build. In addit~.on, we plan to sat much needed an amount of landscaping and scrubs in our design. The design, a two level split entY°y build, we feel, would conserve energy by using all the necessary building space, and different energy savings techniques available. Our business, was established in 1968, called Photo Systems Corp., later on a name changed to Photo Security System Corporation. We are distributoz°s ors closed cl.rcuit T.V.'s, surve~.llance and security equipment, as well as the popular "check cashing cameras." We employ two full time people, with one part time dark room person, and thus would have practically no traffic coming in to our building, as w© are wholesalers only, Duo to setback requirements on 66th o,, ,. Street side and our va.sibility, cause of the existing adjoining building next door, we have changed our front entry to Bloomington Avenue to get the required depth for the building and relieve traffic confection on the 66th street side. This change will necessitate a setback less than the Zoning ordianco and there- fore we are requesting a small variance to allow us to build the size and design build in order to relocate in Richfi©1d. We are glad we have selected Richfield as our headquarters and we know our business will be an ass©t to the Community ~--~ ~ ~l and area as wells ~- -r '~i~ ~~ , ~ ' ~ `" ., ~ , ',~ ;~~, CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 313 Agenda October 11 , 1977 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Gentlemen: Subject: Variance Re quest, 7501 Second Avenue iVir. John Allers, 7501 Second Avenue, has requested two variances to permit construction of an accessory roof structure over an existing swimming pool. City ordinances (Chapter III, Part IV, Division 3.39, subdivision 3) require that the structures not exceed 30 percent of the area of the rear yard, and that an accessory structure not exceed 12 feet in height. Section 3.40, subdivision 6 of the Richfield city code describes three criteria which must be satisfied before the variance can be granted. If the criteria are not present on the property, the variance must be denied. Background The applicant would like to build an 18 foot high peaked roof over an existing swimming pool in his rear yard. The variance is requested~to permit enclosure of the existing pool. Richfield ordinance allows accessory buildings only if they do not exceed 30 percent of the rear yard. An existing double garage occupies 13.6 percent of the rear yard, making total coverage of the rear yard 37.1 percent. The adjacent land use is single family residential. The building is proposed to be built within 44 feet of the residential lot immediately to the rear. Chapter III, part II, section 3.15, subdivision 3 of the city code states that no portion of a swimming pool or appurtenances thereto shall be located at a distance less than ten feet from any side or rear property line, nor in front of the building line. The pool walls are proposed to be located 44 feet from the rear property line, and 6 feet, 10 and one-half inches from the interior lot property line . Staff Review and Findings The city staff has reviewed the application based on the criteria set forth f in Section 3.40, subdivision 6 and finds the following: Council Letter No, 313 -2- Agenda October 11, 1977. 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 or similar districts . It is the opinion of the staff that there are no special circumstances .or conditions affecting this property not common to other surrounding properties. The .lot is similar in size to all other corner lots in the subdivision, and three feet smaller than interior lots . The house is similar to other houses in the district and the land is flat. There are no special physical circumstances. necess- itating granting of this variance . 2. That the granting of the application is necessary for preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights . The denial of this variance does not preclude the applicant from using the existing pool or his single family residence. 3. That the granting of the application will not materially end adversel affect the health or safety of persons resin ing or working in the neighborhood of the the property of the applicant and will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood. It is the opinion of the staff that the roof structure addition will materially and adversely affect the health and safety of persons residing in the neighborhood. By allowing accessory structures to exceed the 30 percent building area limit in the rear yard, the amount of air circulation and sunlight at this location and the ad- jacent properties will be limited . Open space is an important factor affecting the health of persons residing in the neighborhood and in maintaining property values of surrounding residences . If this variance were to be granted, allowing the structure to be built, it v~ould also set a precedent in the community to allow partial filling of yard open spaces with structures . The long range effect of such incremental filling of open space would be detrimental to the residential character of Richfield, since partial filling of rear yards with structures i.s contrary to the goal of maintaining a suburban residential environment in Richfield. If we set a precedent in this case, it will appear to be arbitrary in the future to deny someone who wishes to build an oversized garage or other accessory structure which would cover more than one-third of the rear yard . Staff Recommendation Since all the conditions described in Section 3.40, subdivision 6 do not exist on the applicant's property, it is the opinion of the staff that the request for variance should be denied . Council Letter No. 313 -3- October 11, 1977 Planning Commission Recommendation The applicant appeared before the planning commission at the September 27, 1977 meeting.

The Christian Park project is scheduled for construction in 1978 in accordance v,Tith the adopted 1977/83 Capital Improvements Program . The estimated cost of $47G, 000 is provided in the Capital Improvement Pragrarn to be funded througF~. a combination of liquor store profits and C,ornmunity Development fund revenues . VGThile construction is not scheduled until next year, it is necessary that planning begin very shortly and an initial meeting with residents in the neighborhood of the park is scheduled for Tuesday, October 18, 1977. Richard Schwarz and James Robin have worked together on similar park develop- ment projects for other jurisdictions ir~cludi.n.g the City o+ Blc~orningtan. The agree- ment negotiated between the architectural and sit;: planning firms and the City of Richfield is a single agreement based on. joint venture. The fees for planning services for both building and site improvements are based on a lump sum fee totalling $38, 000. The lump sum fee is based on normal percerrt~.g:~ rates, but provides the city with the advantage of knowing that feev for these au~T~ices will be no more than $38, 000, regardless of what. the contract bids n~rig<<i, be. The planning services include, but are not limited to, schematic design., desigiz dc-- velopment, construction documents, bidding and construction, as Well as meetings with neighborhood people, the park and recreation commission ar_~a the city council. Upon execution of the agreement, the planners will begin immediately to pre- pare tentative plans and wank estimates in accordance with the procedure:., der%c-lc:pcscl for previous park development projects and to conform with Community Deve;loi.rnent Block Grant guidelines.

At the time the team policing project began in the fall of 1975, a mail survey of selected residents and businessmen was taken to provide a beginning data base from which a final evaluation could be made . Because of the success of. Richfield's team policing project, the Minnesota Crime Control Planning Board has asked that the final community survey be handled by a professional survey firm and include personal interviews with approximately three hundred and fifty Richfield residents and business-men. The Minnesota Crime Control Planning Board has awarded the City of Richfield an additional $6, 000 grant to provide for completion of this professional survey. The Board has also assisted Public Safety Department staff to begin developing a potential survey instrument, The Public Safety Department has sent out 18 requests for proposals for under- taking this survey to professio:~a1 market research and survey firms in the Twin City Metropolitan Area. Eight of these firms submitted proposals in response to this request. These proposals were subsequently reviewed by the professional research staff at the Crime Control Planning Board for compliance with the original specifications, as well as for the accuracy and completeness of the research designs upon which the proposals were made. It is the conclusion of the Public Safety Director, based oz this review of the proposals, that a proposal submitted by the Winona Corporation of Bloomington, Minnesota, in the amount of $5,500, best meets the evaluation needs to be addressed by the survey. This proposal provides that the Winona Corporation would conduct a personal in- terview with three hundred and fifty randomly selected residents and businessmen within the city. The results obtained in these interviews would be correlated with the Council Letter No. 308 -2- October 11, 1977 results of the original survey conducted in 1975. This information will enable us to evaluate any differences in community attitudes and opinions regarding the delivery of police service in the City of Richfield. . The proposal of the Winona Corporation is within the $6, 000 allotted for this project by the State of Minnesota. It is the recommendation of-the Public Safety Director, in which I concur, that the city council authorize execution of a professional service contract with the Winona Corporation in the a;~nount of $5 , 500 for completion of a public opinion survey.
