I feel it is necessary to present some background information. On June 26, 1985, Acting General Services Superintendent Jerry Bauer sent official Notices of Diseased Shade Tree Removal for trees located at 11 Oak Street and 320 Maple Street. (See attached. ) I have discussed these original notices with Jerry and it is his contention that the notice covered all Elm trees at both locations. (Including the two that remain standing at 320 Maple Street.) The General Services staff had numerous discussions with Councilmember Sprute in our effort to have the trees removed as per the original notice. In October of 1986, Councilmember Sprute cut down the trees at 11 Oak Street and several of the trees at 320 Maple Street and received reimbursement. (See attached.) Councilmember Sprute insisted that the 2 diseased Elm trees he left standing at 320 Maple Street were not included in the original notice. Note that it took 16 months for the trees to be removed, rather than the 20 days specified in the Official Notice. As I began preparing my 1989 Department Budget, it became apparent that Dutch Elm Disease had pretty much talgen its toll in the City. Very few Elm trees had to be removed in 1987 and 1988, leaving unused funds in the Tree Removal line item of the Department's Operating Budget. This prompted me to shift priorities for 1989 from tree removal to reforestation. During October of 1988, the 1989 Budget was approved. Upon approving the change in our tree priorities, Councilmember Sprute urged the Department to "make sure all Dutch Elm trees are taken care of." Since Councilmember Sprute had insisted that the 2 trees at 320 Maple had not been given an official notice, he wanted to receive a new notice for the 2 trees in order to receive reimbursement as per City policy. This prompted Jerry Bauer and I to survey the City in November, 1988 to prepare removal notices. On December 1, 1988 an irate citizen complained about the diseased Elm trees at 320 Maple Street. On December 8, 1988 a Diseased 'Shade Tree Removal Notice was sent to Katherine Sprute at 320 Maple Street giving 20 days to remove the tree. (See attached.) Councilmember Sprute, acting on behalf of his mother, signed the notice indicating that he would remove the trees as per the notice. On January 5, 1989, I sent a letter to Councilmember Sprute to remind him that he had agreed to remove the tree at his mother's residence on a timely basis. I also indicated that if he did not take action in this matter, the City would remove the trees and bill his mother. On February 20, 1989, I telephoned Councilmember Sprute to discuss the Elm trees at 320 Maple Street. The City had H&H Tree Service scheduled to remove several boulevard trees and trim others. I asked Councilmember Sprute if he wanted the City to remove the trees.at 320 Maple Street and bill his mother $112.50 as outlined in previous correspondence. Councilmember Sprute stated that he intended to remove the trees. At that time I requested that he provide me with a specific date, in writing, that he would have the trees removed. I stressed that these trees were in violation of City ordinances and that they must be removed. Councilmember Sprute refused to provide me with such a deadline date. If I had been given a reasonable date, I would have continued to wait for Councilmember Sprute to remove the trees. When faced with a violation of City ordinances, I have no choice but to enforce them. Therefore, on February 21, 1989, I reinspected the diseased Elm trees at 320 Maple Street. The property owner had not complied with the City ordinances and I ordered the trees removed. (See attached.) Councilmember Sprute was upset with my action and he requested that the issue be brought before the City Council. I agreed to delay the removal of the trees until after the next Council meeting. My order to remove the trees is still in effect and it will be done following the Council meeting unless the Council directs me not to. 4eAJ . Kaldunski P.E.

The purpose of this notice is to have the trees removed As Soon As Possible. The city has marked 2 Elm trees for removal on your property with paint. On January 5 I sent a letter to your son, directing him to remove the 2 trees as agreed upon (see attached) . No action to remove the trees has been taken to date. You have had 75 days to remove the trees . Since you have elected to take NO Action, the city must remove the diseased trees immediately. You will be billed for 757 of the total cost to remove the 2 trees. The city' s contractor has estimated the total cost at $150.00. This means you will be billed $112.50 for the tree removal. You have not complied with the City Ordinances pertaining to Diseased Tree Removal and therefore I have ordered the trees removed by the City' s Contractor. Removal will take place during the week of 2-27-89. If you have any questions regarding this matter, contact me at City Hall, 463-7111 . Sincerely, /6,17-,<1 AQZ1,-.

Prior Lake requirements are the same as Farmington's since both were developed from the same sources. In Plymouth, business signs are limited to flat wall signs which may not exceed 96 square feet in area or 20% of the wall area, whichever is greater. The Apple Valley Ordinance is similar to Burnsville's. It provides for one building sign and one freestanding sign up to a maximum of 125 square feet total in single tenant buildings. In Bloomington, business developments are permitted one free- standing identification sign not exceeding 100 square feet in area or 20 feet in height with a total sign allocation of up to 180 square feet. The requirements for Rosemount indicate that pylon signs may be 100 square feet for shopping centers and 80 square feet for individual businesses, neither of which shall exceed 20 feet in height. In addition, wall signs are limited to 15% of the front building facade. Lakeville, on the other hand, requires that all signage is limited to 15% of front facade up to 100 square feet maximum and that total includes both pylon and wall signs. For example, a 50' x 100' front facade would qualify for 75 square feet of signage to be split any way that the owner wishes. Of the responses received, staff has requested copies of the sign ordinance requirements from Burnsville, Lakeville and Rosemount as each appears to have attractive elements. If the Commission believes that a larger pylon sign at Jim Haugen Dodge has merit, it may only grant a variance onthe basis that staff will be directed to draft a more liberal set of regulations that can be forwarded to the City Council as a Zoning Amendment after review. It should be pointed out, however, that such an amendment, if adopted by the City Council, may limit the size of the wall sign available to Jim Haugen Dodge in the future. The information received from other communities suggests that the 20 foot height limitation is reasonable and that no variance should be considered. Recommendation Deny the request for a height variance and approve the size variance with the stipulation that permanent wall signs will not be added until the sign ordinance is amended or in six months, whichever comes earliest. 4 5. PUBLIC HEARING - 7:20 P.M. - REZONING REQUEST FROM ARTHUR LEIBFRIED FOR PROPERTY NORTH AND EAST OF THE SUPER STORE ON HIGHWAY 3 The attached sketch shows the two parcels (parcel 1 and 2) which are the subject of the request to be rezoned from R-3 to B-1. The actual parcel is an "L" shaped lot containing 2.9 acres. The Super Store was converted by the Conditional Use process from a non-conforming use to a business use within the past 5 to 10 years. Since that time, one request was received asking for additional B-1 Zoning. The request was denied because the land was not anticipated either to be platted or submitted to the PUD process. The current idea is to build a car wash fronting on T.H. #3 with mini-storage units behind. The Zoning Ordinance clearly specifies that only one principal use per parcel may be developed. Therefore, the "L" shaped parcel will need to be divided in order to create a second use. Such a division can only take place if the new lot will be served by a platted street. Currently, the City Engineer is developing a revised Municipal State Aid Highway System for Farmington. Walnut Street is on this system and the Engineer would like to see it extended east of Highway 3 to a major north/south street that would ultimately link Highway 3 with County Road 72. The most feasible location for the extension of Walnut Street is a 60 foot wide vacant parcel north of the requested rezoning. The staff believes that this street should be in place before any property without frontage on Highway 3 is rezoned. On the other hand, a car wash would appear to relate nicely to the existing Super Store since a car wash is sometimes included as part of a single service station operation. An immediate example is located at the corner of Ash and Trunk Highway 3. With this in mind, the staff would recommend that the rezoning request be amended to include only the south 180 feet of the north 810 feet of the west 219.45 feet of the North of the SWi of Section 32. This would accommodate that which can be built now and will give the City an opportunity to develop a reasonable land use plan for the Becker property. It will also put landowners on notice that an east/west street north of the proposed car wash will be required before any further development can occur. Recommendation Forward a recommendation to the City Council that only the west 219.45 feet, or the property immediately north of the Super Store should be rezoned at the present time. Additional business zoning at this location is considered to be premature until an east/west street is constructed and an overall development plan has been prepared for the remainder of the Becker property. 6. DISCUSSION - PRELIMINARY PLAT - COUNTRY HILLS - PROPOSED BY HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT At a special meeting held on September 15, 1988, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat of Country Hills subdivision subject to the following: a. The ponding area north on County Road 31 shall be dedicated by the Nelson Estate and the land value credited against the storm water manage- ment fee for the proposed plat contemplated north of Country Hills. b. Grading of the entire 190th Street to the west edge of the plat and paving to the west end of Lot 1, Block 1 shall be required. c. A storm sewer on the west edge of County 31 between the storm sewer which serves cul-de-sac B and the proposed ponding area AP-3 shall be installed. d. The developer shall be required to post a bond to certify that the storm water drainage on Block 2 will be handled exactly as designed. e. The plat shall include a fifty foot (50') wide gas easement adjoining the north edge of 190th Street in Lots 1,2, and Outlot A in Block 3, and the developer shall sign an agreement with Enron assuming the cost of relocating the 2" pipeline out of the right of way of 190th Street. f. Outlot A shall be dedicated to the City for construction of a City well and well house with the exception of a fifty foot square parcel dedicated to Enron Gas Pipeline Operating Company at the intersection of proposed County Road 31 and 190th Street West on which the City will move the existing gas metering station when County Road 31 is moved to the new location. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 21, 1989 Member Schlawin indicated that his no vote was directed at the height of the sign since he believes that no hardship exists. 6. The Chairman opened the hearing advertised for 7: 20 P.M. requested by Arthur Leibfried to rezone an "L" shaped parcel north and east of the Budget Mart on the east side of Highway 3. Planner Tooker indicated that while the request includes approximately 3 acres, only one third of the site can be utilized based upon City standards specifying one principal use per parcel and that every parcel must include frontage on an improved public street. The applicant wishes to build a car wash adjoining the frontage road along Highway 3. At some future time, he would like to build mini-storage units behind the car wash. Tooker indicated that the neighborhood needs an overall plan including the layout and development of Walnut Street before any wholesale rezoning of the area is accom- plished. The three acre proposal is premature at this time, but the staff would recommend approval of a rezoning for the car wash on a site area measuring 180 feet wide by 210.45 feet deep or approximately nine-tenths of an acre. Mr. Leibfried said that he would like the entire lot rezoned before other uses are developed and welcomes the extension of Walnut Street immediately to the north. He said further that he would have appreciated it if staff had given him its recommendation prior to the meeting. Tooker responded that the staff recommendation was presented to him during the initial discussion. One neighbor living directly across the street from the Budget Mart objected to the rezoning based upon existing noise during evening hours. She would not like to see any additional business activity that will generate traffic and additional places for young people to "hang out". It was agreed by members present that the problem raised is more a police problem than a land use problem. MOTION by Rotty, second by Schlawin to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Rotty, second by Dau to recommend approval of rezoning from R-3 High Density to B-1 Limited Business for the south 180 feet of the north 810 feet of the west 219.45 feet of the North 1 of the SWC of Section 32 to the City Council. The area includes 180 feet of frontage along the service road immediately north of the Budget Mart and at the same depth as the Budget Mart lot. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Member Rotty was excused at 8:20 P.M. 7. Planner Tooker reviewed the preliminary plat of Country Hills previously approved in its current form on September 15, 1988. Tooker said that while most conditions listed under the recommendation for approval have been endorsed by the Developer, Heritage Development, there have been some changes in the staff position as follows: a. Grading of 190th Street west of Lot 1, Block 1, will be required only to an elevation that will create an acceptable storm water pond on Outlot B. b. The storm sewer required along the west edge of County Road 31 shall be installed by the City and credited against the storm water management for Country Hills. c. Outlot A shall be dedicated to the City but the value determined at the signing of a developers agreement shall be credited against the area water fee for Country Hills. d. The study recommended by Kaldunski regarding the appropriate location for Euclid Path has been completed by the staff and it suggests that Euclid Path can remain as proposed in this development and function as needed as a north/south street in this neighborhood. 11 `- -. .-.. i: t � r iI\9 _ hi •' • II 7 I , DS r,' IF .

I spoke with Chief Kuchera and Dave Grannis and apparently they have reached an agreement on the repairs. Unless something changes before Monday night, I would request this matter be pulled from the agenda. 7 Lj� Tho son City Administrator cc: Ken Kuchera file MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: FIRE HALL REPAIRS DATE: FEBRUARY 28, 1989 As of today's date, the listed repairs in my memo dated January 17, 1989 still have not been resolved. The Contractor has agreed to replace stained ceiling tile, adjust service door along with the installation of deflector molding and repaint the unacceptable window areas. However, the Contractor disagrees with replacement of window lintel sheetrock and the painting of the other previously spackled areas. The problems encountered have been ongoing since 1985. The areas of disagreement are relatively minor. I strongly feel we have arrived at the point of impasse. A decision will have to be made on the direction of travel with consideration given to the cost of further legal involvement. Ken Kuchera Fire Chief cc: Larry Thompson Tim Berg Tom Dunwell MEMO TO: LARRY THOMPSON, CITY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: FIRE HALL REPAIRS DATE: JANUARY 17, 1989 On Monday, January 16, 1989 a scheduled meeting was held at the station with Joe Martins and Sevard Brenny. I represented the City singly at this meeting. Discussion followed on the below listed problem areas: 1. Interior Wall Painting Numerous unacceptable and unfinished areas were pointed out to the contractor. The contractor shared several of my concerns but was not in agreement on several of the untouched areas. He assured me that he would be checking with the painter of his firm and get back to me with an answer. 2. Replacement of Lintel Area Sheetrock The architect was in agreement with our concerns on sheetrock replacement. Several of the punch lists submitted to the contractor since 1985 address the replacement. The contractor feels the replacement isn't necessary and sheetrock will hold up to certain levels of moisture. I clearly disagree with the contractor. 3. Replacement of Stained Ceiling Tile The contractor agrees the tile should be replaced. The contractor also feels the staining is being caused by condensation from water piping and not roof leakage. If condensation is the problem, the areas of piping not covered by insulation should be corrected as specified originally. 4. Solar Panel Separation Upon visual inspection the area of concern had been corrected on a previous visit. 5. Southwest Service Door Leakage The contractor was very adamant in that the architectural design was the problem and not their responsibility to correct. They felt the architect should be contacted. In conclusion, the contractor was very open to listen to my concerns. However, no firm commitments were agreed to. They assured me that my concerns would be considered and I would receive a return response soon. �V- Ken Kuchera Fire Chief cc: David Grannis Tim Berg Tom Dunwell AGENDA REQUEST FORM ITEM NO.

The locations are shown on the attached map. MnDOT stated that the City has the authority to establish "No Parking" zones on Elm Street (T.H. 50) . Their only requirements are notification of the sign installation and installation in accordance with Uniform Traffic Control Laws. When this issue was discussed at the Council table, trucks were specifically mentioned due to problems that have occurred recently. The Council may want to consider "No Parking" for any type of vehicle. It is estimated that it will cost approximately $100 per sign. The General Services Department can purchase the signs through its 1989 Operating Budget. The Council should direct the General Services Department to install the proper signage. :7540-10 44141 Thomas . Kaldunski PE City Engineer cc: file Wayne Henneke Hardee's Tom Thumb TJK I •,..,-.
