Director Poehlman stated R1 would be left alone. She then discussed entry/doorway
preferences.
Council Member Supple asked for clarification from lot line.
Director Poehlman explained it is the side lot line that is concerned. She also spoke of parking
preferences and recommendations, overall design, recommendations and next steps.

build a duplex on most of the Richfield lots.
Director Poehlman said staff has done research and duplexes can fit on as low as 45 foot lots.
She then stated staff would like to have a demonstration lot to display layouts.
Council Member Hayford Oleary appreciated staff work and wanted feedback on not having a
garage requirement.
Commissioner Hooey asked what the compelling argument would be to require a garage.
Council Member Trautmann echoed thoughts.
Director Poehlman would like to weigh in with Environmental Health staff when it comes to
storing things outside.
Council Member Whalen discussed potential concern for future use and garbage bin storage.
Commissioner Hooey stated it does increase the value of the home to have a garage and
makes it more appealing.
Council Member Supple asked about homes currently being built that are more than 50%
garage/house visibility.
Director Poehlman stated it would affect permits that come in after the new guidelines are
approved.
Council Member Hayford Oleary shared preference of 50% of width versus façade.
Council Member Whalen one entry versus two seems like an unnecessary restriction. He then
asked about the possibility of triplex or four-plex buildings being allowed. He stated he would like to
allow a porch to be considered habitable space.

is for residents.

currently a program for investors.

Commissioner Hayford Oleary asked if an ADU would be allowed on the same lot as a duplex.
Director Poehlman stated they have not explored that but it most likely would be allowed.
Council Member Supple asked about rules regarding a ‘bed and breakfast.’
Director Poehlman stated a resident could build a duplex but then would need a conditional
use permit to use part of it as a ‘bed and breakfast.’ She spoke of the importance to adopt this
process now and exploring additional options moving forward.
Commissioner Stursa prefers garages to be flush with habitable space on the front of homes.
Council Member Trautmann and Commissioner Kennealy stated a garage to be flush with a
porch would be suitable.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez and Commissioner Hooey echoed Commissioner Stursa’s comments.
Council Member Supple doesn’t have strong feelings either way

some more research.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consider adoption of a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute the Temporary
Construction Easement Agreement between Reality Income Properties and Northern Tier
Retail, LLC, on behalf of the City of Richfield for the property located near 66th Street and
Rae Drive (Speedway), upon finalization of the agreement for the 65th Street Reconstruction
Project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As part of the 65th Street Reconstruction Project, certain temporary construction easements must
be acquired for construction. Temporary construction easements are sometimes needed in order to
implement major infrastructure projects and facilitate the construction thereof. For temporary
construction easements the area remains under ownership of the property owner and it is restored
and turned-back after construction is complete.
This Temporary Construction Easement Agreement is required to complete the work in and around
the property at 66th Street and Rae Drive (Speedway). The work involves two driveways, located
on the East side of Rae Dr. To minimize the impacts on fuel delivery, this agreement sets the terms
for the closing, removal, and replacement of the the two driveway aprons.
This agreement outlines the terms and conditions for the work and has been substantially agreed
upon by Speedway and the City. The exact durations of driveway closures are currently being
finalized between Speedway and the City.
In order for this easement to become effective, City Council must approve the agreement between the
property owners and the City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute the Temporary
Construction Easement Agreement between Reality Income Properties and Northern Tier Retail, LLC,
on behalf of of the City of Richfield for the property located near 66th Street and Rae Drive
(Speedway), upon finalization of the agreement for the 65th Street Reconstruction Project.

The 65th Street Reconstruction Project will improve pavement conditions, replace deteriorating
sidewalks, and upgrade aging underground utilities while improving operational safety for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. The project also provides an opportunity to address a
longstanding flooding issue in the area of 65th Street and the HUB shopping center.
The City Council approved the preliminary design layout for the 65th Street Reconstruction
Project on J uly 28, 2020.
The 100% design plan was completed for the 65th Street Reconstruction project and went out to
bid on March 3rd, 2022, with anticipated construction in 2022 and 2023.
A waiver of trespass was initially proposed to Reality I ncome Properties ("Owner") and their
tenant, Northern Tier Retail ("Speedway"). Speedway requested that a Temporary Construction
Easement agreement be executed in order to accommodate site operations.
Discussions between Speedway's attorney and City staff over the agreement have nearly reached
a conclusion, however the agreement will need approval prior to the start of construction on J uly
18th, 2022.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The city has authority to acquire easements through direct negotiation and if no agreement can be
reached the city can acquire property though eminent domain for public purposes.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
Staff is requesting that Council authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the final
agreement once final conditions have been agreed upon.
Approval of the Temporary Construction Easement Agreement will allow construction to begin
as planned on July 18th, 2022.
