Respectfully submitted, Wayne S. Burggraaf City Manager WSB /jkl cc: Acting Public Works Director if CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Gentlemen: I% Council Letter No. 266 Agenda August 22, 1977 Subject: Authorization of Grant Application A few weeks ago, we received a notice from the Metropolitan Council indicating that applications are now being received for funding under Title III of the Older Americans Act. This act generally provides money to support programs which are designed specifically to benefit senior citizens. The community center coordinator and director of the youth employment services have developed a proposal for funding under this act which would provide for homemaker services for elderly citizens in Richfield. This proposal would accomplish two major objectives: 1. Provide a necessary household assistance to aid senior citizens in remaining independent within their own homes; 2. Provide young Richfield residents employment opportunities through the youth employment service. A summary of this proposal and a tentative budget are attached to this council letter. At this time, the applications being received are for funding for seven months. It is anticipated that if this proposal were funded, additional monies would be available after June 30,1977 to continue the program. This grant application is requesting complete federal funding for the program. 1 �� Council Letter No. 266 - 2 - August 22, 1977 Since this project is completely federally funded, and does not require the expenditure of local funds, it is recommended that the council adopt the attached resolution authorizing submission of this grant application for funding under Title III of the Older Americans Act.

The building, on which construction is to begin soon, will be a market rate apartment structure with recreation facilities on the site, which will exit on York Avenue, and will border on Adams Hill Park for a distance of 489.86 feet. The project will also border on the Edina Park which is adjacent to Richfield's Adams Hill Park on the west. As part of the developer's proposal, the Richfield city staff has asked the City of Edina to require the developer to do the following: 1. Seed and plant the hill on the south end of the pro perty which is located adjacent to Adams Hill Park; 2. Fill in with black dirt the gully which has eroded into Adams Hill Park; 3. Provide additional planting on the Edina side to screen part of the structure from the Adams Hill Park, and 4. Provide a cash deposit with the City of Richfield for construction of a nine foot pedestrian walkway along the border of the park. The staff has also recommended that the developer be asked to maintain vegetation on the hillside along Adams Hill Park and that vegetation also be main- tained within 10 feet along the development in the City of Edina. The City of Edina has concurred with this recommendation. Council Letter No. 261 -2- 977 e It is recommended that the city council accept a cash /deposi om Windsor Development Corp. for future construction of pedestrian walkway within Adams Hill Park, and that the city council allow the developer access onto the park property for filling of the eroded gully and the planting of trees as necessary.

Following is a report of the staff findings related to these parcels: 6732 Upton Avenue_ Mr. Wayne Harris, 6732 Upton Avenue, appeared at the August 8, 1977 assess- ment hearing and expressed concern with the workmanship and grade on his driveway. The city council voted to defer action on this parcel and requested the acting public works director to meet with Mr. Harris and explore alternatives for correcting the grading problem on the driveway. Mr.Raaen has met with Mr. Harris, who-has now indicated that he would prefer to have the driveway removed altogether and sod over the driveway area. Mr. Raaen has agreed that the city may remove the driveway and provide black dirt fill rather than reworking the driveway another time. Mr. Harris has indicated that he will do the finishing and sodding work on the driveway area, if the city will remove the driveway and eliminate the $ 329.41 driveway assessment, it is recommended that this arrange- ment be approved. 6920 Vincent Avenue Lloyd W. Treece, 6920 Vincent Avenue, questioned why no credit was given for a previous curb assessment which he had paid in 1952. Attached to this council letter is a map of existing curbs in the area prior to construction (Attachment A) . All of this curb was removed except Thomas Avenue 62nd Street to 64th Street; Logan Avenue 62nd Street to 63rd Street; and, of course, the curbing on county roadways. City records indicate that Mr. Treece paid $219.00 for a curb assessment in 1952. The average life expectancy for a curb is approximately 25 years, in which case the previous assessment has been spread over the full life of that original curb council Letter No. 260 -2- Agenda August 22, 1977 construction. The assessment is consistant with city policy and the implementation of that policy on curb replacement elsewhere in the city. It is recommended that the assessment be sustained. 7727 Vincent Avenue Michael Zemple, 7727 Vincent Avenue, questioned the assessment on odd lot sizes such as his and surrounding properties located in a cul -de -sac. Attached is a sketch showing similar irregular lots at various locations in the city. In accordance with the assessment policy adopted by the city council, the assess- ments for these lots have been calculated on a front footage established to regularize the lot sizes. Attachment C shows the front footage which was established and used in the assessments for the multiple sided lots in qu stian. It is recommended that the assessment be sustained. 6745 Xerxes Avenue Mr.james Collins, 6745 Xerxes Avenue, questioned the driveway assessment for that property. He reported that the property had been sold between the time that the driveway was torn up and the new driveway installed, and that the new property owner had requested that the driveway be finished in concrete rather than asphalt , which was the original material. Mr. Collins expressed concern that this cost,for the assessment was higher than it would have been had the driveway been finished in asphalt. He requested relief for the difference in costs between the asphalt and concrete driveway. The city attorney was requested to assist Mr. Collins in negotiating with the buyer of the property to reach a settlement for payment of the assessment, and will report back to the council at the August 22,1977 meeting. �z47 ov In addition to the deferred assessment decisions cited above, the city council also requested the staff to report on the following items: 6912 Thomas Avenue Mr. Gary Newman, expressed_ concern regarding the finishing of landscaping around a boulevard tree and asked that the tree be inspected by the city forester. The forester has checked the tree, which has now been removed. The owner has indicated that he will install. concrete steps and finish the work on the property. Therefore, this matter has been resolved. Street Lighting on 70th Street and 74th Street The council requested that the staff review and survey street lighting which has been installed on 74th Street from Penn to Xerxes Avenue, and on 70th Street from Penn to Xerxes Avenue. Attachment D shows the lighting which has been installed in the two areas. On 74th Street from Penn to Xerxes, mid -block lights are in place at all locations except Council Letter No. 260 =3- August 22, 1977'_ two. Those two locations are between Upton and Vincent and between Vincent and Washburn. There is not currently a pole at either of these locations on which to place a light. Mid -block lighting has also been installed at all locations but two on 70th Street from Penn Avenue to Xerxes Avenue. The two locations without lights are from Vincent to Washburn and Washburn to Xerxes. The drawing also shows the existing wooden poles in the area, which support utility transmission lines. The mid -block lights in this location have been installed on the wooden utility poles. Installation of ornamental lights would not eliminate these poles, which are necessary for providing utility services. 2821 West 70th Street Mr. Leslie Proehl, 2821 West 70th Street, expressed concern with a tree and grading around the tree creating a water drainage problem. The city forestor has checked this tree and the tree has been removed. Therefore, this matter has been resolved. 6520 Irving Avenue Mr. Robert Thrune requested that the city forestor check a boulevard tree for possible disease. The city forestor has checked this tree and found .no evidence of disease. It was the recommendation of the forestor that the tree not be removed. 2800 West 714.7 Street Mrs. James Quinlan indicated that she relocated the driveway during the street project from a front entrance to a rear lot entrance because she was interested in constructing a garage. She felt that the city.inspection department had indicated that she would be unable to construct a garage on the property unless the driveway was moved, since a garage on the driveway entering from the front would be constructed in front of the established building line along Upton Avenue. The property owner did not seek a variance Mrs. Quinlan wants to be reimbursed for the cost of removing her old driveway. There does not appear to be anyway of justifying an expAnditure of city funds for this purpose;and therefore, it is recommended that the assessment be sustained. Attachment E shows the location of the old and new driveways. 6833 Thomas Avenue Mr. Donald Walls, 6833 Thomas Avenue, questioned the workmanship on the sodding and sidewalk improvements on his property. f Council Letter No. 260 - 4 - August 22, 1977 Mr. Raaen inspected the property and found no problems with the sod. The sidewalk joints are wide, as Mr. Walls had indicated,, but are completely filled with joint filler and are properly constructed.

The lettering will say: ECOLOGY UP Glass Collection Site clear glass only* washed - caps removed info. at bus. on prop. * some drums will be provided for green and amber glass. The full containers will be replaced with empty ones once a week or when necessary. If specific.sites re -peatedly fill faster than once a week, we will leave 2 or more containers or replace the container(s) more frequently at the owner's dis- creation.

The first award is a citizen's commendation award to be presented to Mr. Mark Thielman of Hopkins, Minnesota. On April. 12Y 1977, Mr, Thielman, who at that time resided in Richfield, observed a burglary and arson incident in progress at a Phillips 66 Station located at 2913 West 66th Street. Mr. Thielman had another party report the incident to the Public safety department wFiile he continued to observe the suspects. Upon the arrival of public safety officials, Mr. Thielman was able to provide sufficient information to positively identify the suspects. Based on the information provided by Mr, Thielman, the suspects were arrested a short time later and formally charged with the crime. Firefighter Thomas Smith has been nominadt d to receive the award designated for a member of the public safety department. On June 9, 1977 firefighter Smith responded with his crew to a house fire at 6223 141h, When neighbors indicated that they believed the woman occupant of the house was still in the structure, firefighter Smith entered the dwelling amd found the victim overcome from smoke. He was able to effectively evacuate Iffie victim and, with the aid of other firefighters, was able to revive her. Because of the accomplishments of these individuals in contributing to the public safety effort in our community, it is the:. ;recommendation of the Public safety director, in which I concur, that theme men be publicly recognized and presented with commendation awards by the city council.

In November, 1976 the council implemented a city project to construct a residential storm sewer in the area of Colfax Avenue and 73rd Street. This work was constructed in the spring of 1977. At the time the council ordered this project, the council agreed to assess the work based on the city's storm sewer assessment policy. The policy provides that no property be assessed more than $.0355 cents per square foot. There are eleven parcels which will be assessed for this project. The assessment for each parcel will be brought to the maximum assessment allowable under this policy. The assessment roll totals $1,949.19; includes interest at 8% per annum, and is to be spread over five years. Assessments vary from a high of $400.00 per property to a low of $86.00 per property. Total estimated cost is $17,000 with the difference between total cost and assessments to be financed by the sewer utility fund.

Diagrams of the proposed sign and location are attached. This sign exceeds the minimum 10 square feet allowed by city ordinance (Chapter III, Part 5, division 3.47, subdivision 3, paragraph 4.). However, Chapter III, part 4, provides for exceptions to this requirement for ten square feet maximum size of non - illuminated sign in an "R" zone. Since the'7:ocation where the sign is proposed to be located is zoned "R ",. and because this sign' exceeds the allowable ten square feet, it is necessary for the council to grant an exception before the sign can be installed. The council has previously considered similar requests for St. Richard's Church, Wooddale Baptist Church, and Hope Presbyterian Church. All of these requests for signs exceeding the 10 square feet in a residential zone have been approved. Respectfully submitted, Wayne S.
