ADJOURNMENT .
Auxiliary aids for individuals with disabilities are available upon request. Requests must be made
at least 96 hours in advance to the Administrative Service's Director at 861 - 9702."
Comprehensive Plan Comments
The following are comments that were written on the comment cards as well as verbal
suggestions that were made at the staff review meeting, the Council study session, and
at the public meetings.
Comment Cards
The maps are] hard to read."
Thanks for your work and allowing me to make suggestions. I hope the final plan
could be available soon and that it succeeds in providing a tool for making Richfield
thrive. Please advise me when and where the plan can be studied." Larry Wozniczka
I'm nervous. The inclusion of my property in the development of Wilson Pond is
threatening my life style. Thirty-five years raising a family now living out my years
would like to stay. I have been assured that my property would not be taken until it
becomes available by Tim Erlander. Can I count on this? I've been advised by Don
Brauer that the inclusion of my property is in error because of a street proposal from
14th to 15th." W.H. Larson
I would like to see an even more aggressive plan. I feel it is a must if Richfield is to
survive'. The next step I feel is to make people aware and do what it takes to help
them step up and do their part in the community (whatever that may be). Give them
choices." Margaret Hansen
Staff Review
Community Services staff suggested that an alternative for creating more space at City
Hall would be to move the park instead of the city facilities. The suggestion was made
to develop a replacement park near Norby Pond.
Tom Foley
He suggested that we develop objectives in support of Goal V. BRW is working on a
study of 76th Street (east of 35W) and potential plans include a bikeway. BRW
recommends that the City establish a community standard for bikeways and include it
in the Comp Plan.
Council Study Session
Don Priebe
He doesn't see the need for expanding the city hall . facilities given the decline in the
City's population.
He suggested that we specifically notify the single family home owners who are
directly impacted by the Plan. He suggests we give them the facts sooner than later.
Russ Susag
He's concerned that the schedule lists just one public hearing before the Planning
Commission in March. It's important that people not feel shortchanged in their ability
to comment on the Plan.
Susan Rosenberg
She suggested that communication be targeted to those areas where there's going to be
an impact. People need to be informed.
Jim Prosser
He suggested that the Planning Commission host open houses in the different
neighborhoods so one -on -one communication can occur. He requested that a
communication plan be developed and shared with the Council as well as the public.
Public Meetings
Larry Wozniczka was concerned that the Comprehensive Plan would not explicitly state
that the Comprehensive Plan is a concept and not a mandate. He felt that the
Comprehensive Plan should address three additional issues: airport noise, rumored
LRT, and pedestrian/automobile hazards due to the 77th Street Project.
A resident stated that she was concerned with increased traffic on 12th Avenue. She
expressed a desire to see the HUB turned around.
A resident expressed concern about taking homes to expand Wilson Park. He stated
that he felt he should have been notified about the change.
A resident stated that he would like to see pedestrian access to Southdale.
Donna Drummond, 6438 Knox Avenue, encouraged the Planning Commission to work
to make the City pedestrian and bicycle friendly. She stated that she is supportive of
the City's housing programs and wanted to complement the City on the improvements
that have been made to the City's parks.
A resident expressed concern that the City may be getting rid of too much housing.

Richfield City Code (Zoning)
General Provisions 511.13
511.13. Nonconforming uses and structures. Subdivision 1. Purposes. This subsection is
intended to limit the number and extent of nonconforming uses by prohibiting their
enlargement, their re- establishment after abandonment, and alteration or restoration after the
destruction of the structures they occupy.
Subd. 2. Continuance of nonconforming uses and buildings. A nonconforming use or
building lawfully existing upon the effective date of this code or amendments thereto
may be continued at the size and in a manner of operation existing upon such date,
subject to the provisions of this subsection.
Subd. 3. Enlargement of nonconforming use prohibited. There shall be no
enlargement, expansion, intensification, replacement, structural alteration, or relocation
of any building or premises devoted to a nonconforming use except to make it a
conforming use. Normal building maintenance and repair shall be excepted from this
subdivision.
Subd. 4. Enlargement of nonconforming building. A nonconforming building
occupied by a conforming use may be enlarged if the expansion meets all applicable
City Code requirements.
Subd. 5. Termination of nonconforming use. A nonconforming use shall not be
resumed if normal operation of the use has been abandoned for a period of 12 or more
months. Time shall be calculated as beginning on the day following the last day in
which the use was in normal operation and shall run continuously thereafter.
Following the expiration of 12 months, only uses which conform to this code shall be
established. If a nonconforming use of land on which there is no substantial building
is discontinued for a period of 10 or more days, any subsequent use of the land shall be
in conformity with this code.
Subd. 6. Replacement of nonconforming use with conforming use. If a
nonconforming use is superseded or replaced by a conforming use, the nonconforming
use status of the premises and any rights which arise under the provisions of this
subsection shall terminate.
Subd. 7. Damage of nonconforming building. If a nonconforming building is
damaged by any means, including fire or water, to the extent that the cost of repairing
or restoring such damaged building would be 50 percent or more of the fair market
value at the time of the damage, then it shall not be reconstructed except in full
compliance with this code, except that any lawful nonconforming single family
dwelling which existed on or before May 9, 1968 may be reconstructed if it is
unintentionally damaged, provided that the degree of nonconformity is not increased.
If reconstruction of a nonconforming building is not completed within 12 months after
such damage, all subsequent construction and use shall be in full compliance with this
code. The determination of the extent of the damage and the fair market value of the
building or structure shall be made by the Council.
Richfield City Code (Zoning)
General Provisions 511.13, Subd. 8
Subd. 8. Junk yards. A junk yard existing as a nonconforming use shall not be
continued unless located in an industrial zoning district. Such junk yard shall be
completely enclosed within a building or within a continuous solid fence not less than
eight feet in height and of such additional height as to screen completely all the
operations of the junk yard. The plans of the building or fence must be approved by
the Building Official.
Subd. 9. Safety. Nothing in this subsection shall prevent the repairing of a building
to a safe condition when said building is declared unsafe by the proper authority,
provided the necessary repair shall not constitute 50 percent or more of fair market
value of the building as determined by the Council.
511.15. Traffic visibility. On corner
lots in all districts, nothing shall be
erected, placed, planted, or allowed to
grow in such a manner as to obstruct
vision between the height of 30 inches
and ten feet above the abutting curb line
of the intersecting streets within a
triangular area defined as follows:
beginning at the intersection of the
projected curb lines of two intersecting
streets, thence 50 feet along one curb
line, thence diagonally to a point 50
feet from the point of beginning on the
other curb line, thence to the point of

beginning ". (Figure 9) Figure 9
511.17. Excavation of natural materials. Nothing in this code prohibits the excavation of
natural materials for the construction of a building permitted in a district in which the same is
located if the building is to be constructed on the lot from which the material is excavated.
Excavations shall not be made, however, in violation of any provision of this code or the City
Code.
511.19. Central air conditioning units. Central air conditioning units shall not be located
forward of the front building line, and shall not be located closer to any side lot line than the
minimum side setback requirement for the principal building.
511.21. Home occupations. Subdivision 1. Home occupation defined. A home occupation
is a business activity of a service character which is clearly incidental to the principal use of
the premises as a dwelling and which does not alter the exterior of the property or affect the
character of the neighborhood.
Subd. 2. Purposes. The purposes of this subsection are to: (i) allow for home
occupations which are appropriate for residential settings; (ii) protect those conducting
a home occupation from self- induced harm; and (iii) protect the property rights of
neighbors.

RE: Zoning provisions, automotive uses
Dear Julie:
This is in response to your letter of January 16. The zoning ordinance currently allows certain
automotive uses (e.g., service stations, car washes, etc.) to locate in a C -2 zoning district with
by conditional use permit, provided that the use does not abut a lot zoned R or R -1. The
prohibition against automotive uses that abut R or R -1 zoned property also existed in the previous
version of the zoning code. However, due to an erroneous interpretation of the code provision,
one or more automotive uses that abut R -1 property were issued CUPS under the previous code.
You asked whether the current code could be amended to allow existing automotive uses to abut
R or R -1 property but prohibit the issuance of future CUPS. My response is that Such an
amendment would be subject to challenge. If automotive uses have negative effects on
residential properties that justify a restriction on abutting uses, then it would seem that all uses
would cause those negative impacts -- not just those created prior to a certain date. Typically,
existing uses are "grandfathered" into an ordinance by making the uses legal nonconforming uses,
not by distinguishing them as permitted uses. The latter approach is a back - handed way of
granting.a use variance, which is not permitted in Minnesota.
We discussed an alternative approach, which is to eliminate the prohibition against abutting
residential property and to require a buffer zone. You asked how the buffer requirement would
be applied to nonconforming buildings. In my opinion, any expansion would have to meet the
buffer requirement, or a variance would be required. I.e., if the buffer requirement is 25 feet,
the building expansion must be at least 25 feet from the property line of the abutting
residentially -zoned property. The buffer could be reduced by variance.

CITY OF RICHFIELD
Memorandum
DATE: January 26, 1996
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council;
Chairperson and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Committee of Hearing Examiners
SUBJECT: Annual Report Pursuant to Section 546.09 of the City Code
Introduction
In 1995, seven variance cases were considered and granted by the Committee of Hearing
Examiners. The number of cases in 1995 was down from twelve cases in 1994.
Ordinance Amendments
A comprehensive amendment of the zoning ordinance was passed by the City Council on
April 24, 1995. Several changes were made to the ordinance that will likely decrease the
number of variance requests. One change °grandfathered° in existing residential lots that
have an area and width less than the current minimum requirements. This change allows
new homes to be built on existing lots that have an area of at least 5,000 square feet and
a width of 40 feet. The current minimum lot size (6,700 square feet) and width (50 feet)
acted as disincentives to the Richfield Rediscovered program.
1995 Cases
Six of the 1995 applications were for setback variances and one was for a lot area
variance. One of the setback variances allowed a private school to make soundproofing -
related improvements. One application for a setback variance would have permitted the
construction of five townhome units. This application was later withdrawn because the
applicant was unable to meet a stipulation of the variance. See attachment "A" for a
detailed listing of the 1995 variance cases.
Committee
Please see attachment "B" for a list of the current Hearing Examiner appointments.
1996 Schedule
Variance hearings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Council
Chambers. Please see attachment "C" for the 1996 schedule for variance hearings.
