Kopp ' ' 7-29-80 CITY OF MOUND Mound, Minnesota July 25, 1980 COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 80-259 SUBJECT: Tax Forfeit Land The County has added some lots to the tax sale list. These lots are lots that people were buying tax forfeit and stopped making payments. 1. Lot 21, Block 7, Arden - This lot has about 5,700 square feet and it is recommended it be resold. 2. Lots 20, 21 & 22, Block 6, Dreamwood - The Council combined Lots 1, 2, 3 & 4 for sale; there is little land with these three lots (20, 21 & 22), so it is recommended they be combined with Lots 1-4 and make one building site. 3. "Lots 3 and 4,'Block 1,'Halstead View - These lots have no access. Possibly we should ask they be held off sale. 4. Half (½) of LOt 6~'Block'4;'Woodland Point - Very small - 1,600 §~u~re feet. Recommend that we request it be held off sale. Also//' the City has sewer through 1/2 the lot. 5. There are also two building sites on Cumberland Road that will be going up for resale. Leghard L. Kopp~ ' ' V' July 24, 1980 Mound City Council c/o Mound City Offices 5341 Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 Dear Council Members: This letter is to inform you, the present governing body of the City of Mound, that James F. and Sally M. Lassek, as joint owners of the property listed as 2431 Wilshire Blvd., go on record as objecting to the expansion of the Fire Station located at 2415 Wilshire Blvd., as presently planned. Our concerns are numerous! Since we purchased our home in 1974, our privacy has slowly but surely deteriorated. First came the new well, not only are there numerous trucks and workers mulling around in back, but the constant high p~tched whine from the pumps is something we hear 24 hours a day. Since the community needed the well, we are willing to accept that. Now comes the addition planned for the new hook and ladder truck. The new addition as planned is exactly 10 ft. from the lot line, with asphalt driveway com~ing to the lot line itself. Is this necessary fo.r the new truck, or is it necessary so ~mbers of the fire department can gain access to the back of the fire station to wash their cars, trucks, 4x4's and also use the back hill as a dumping station for their campers. Presently the side of the fire station is used by many to practice their tennis strokes, with the addition of the new bay and additional asphalt running right to the lot line, I can not see how our privacy will not further be encroached upon. In the past, the area between the lot line and present asphalt has been used for snow removal. Does this mean that our yard will now be used to pile snow on in'the winter? Since our lot is lower than the fire station we are concerned about the runoff'from the additional building and parking area affecting our property. The lay of the property is such that at the rear our property is higher, and at the front and side, lower than the fire station. Since the 1 parking lot or asphalt will not follow this contour, we are QOneerne8 as to how this will be landscaped. It is our understanding that the hill in the back will have to be cut into to allow for the new access to the back of the station. It is also our understanding that the hill will be regraded. We firmly object to any change in our property. After looking around the city, I cannot find any other home that is ten foot from a two story cement block building, with a driveway right to the property line. When we purchased the property, we were willing to accept the activity around the fire station. Since moving in, we have learned to accept the whine of the well pumps and the activity necessary to maintain the new well, however, we are not willing to accept what we feel is de- valuation of our property and home because of a glaring white two story cement block building! If the plans are firm and there is no possibility of the bay being built on the other side of the fire station, we request assurance that we will not be affected by any runoff. That the building be architectually attractive, and that the lot line be professionally landscaped, using ties for the wall and some type of visual break. As taxpayers and citizens of Mound, we object to the present plans.

Kopp, City Manager 7-29-80 CITY OF MOUNO Mound, Minnesota July 24, 1980 COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 80-253 SUBJECT: Sidewalks - Three Points Boulevard The Council asked for a report on Three Points Boulevard sidewalks (see copy attached). The Engineer's estimate on cost is: 1. North side of street $31,922. 2. South side of street 37,546. If built only to Gull, the cost would be 23,551. The Engineer also lists the pros and cons of placing the walk. ~LeOnard L. Kopp July 22, 1980 McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC. CONSULTING ENGINEERS · LAND SURVEYORS · SITE PLANNERS Reply To: 12800 Industrial Park Boulevard Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 (612) 559-3700 Mr. Leonard Kopp City Manager City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Subject: City of Mound Three Points Boulevard Sidewalk Dear Mr. Kopp: As requested, we have compared the estimated cost of a sidewalk on the south side of Three Points Boulevard vs. the north side of the street. The cost of the sidewalk on the north side as shown on the plans is $30,172. If this sidewalk were deleted 250 sq. ft. of retaining wall at an estimated cost of $1,750 could also be deleted, for a total cost savings of $31,922. The cost of the sidewalk on the south side of the road from Commerce to Resthaven is estimated at $30,525; however an additional 1003 sq. ft. of retaining wall would have to be added at an estimated cost of $7,021 for a total added cost of $37,546. If the sidewalk on the south side were built from Commerce to Gull only, the estimated cost would be $23,551. Some of the factors we looked at in placing the sidewalk on the north side were: l) The majority of the population of Three Points is located north of Three Points Boulevard, including the concentrated population of the Sea Horse Condominiums. Minneapolis - Hutchinson - Alexandria - Granite Falls printed on ~ecycled paper /23'/ Mr. Leonard Kopp July 22, 1980 Page Two 2) 3) LS:sc #5388 The PDQ store at Three Points and Commerce Boulevard is on the north side. This could be the destination of many of the pedestrians using the sidewalk. If the sidwalk were on the south side pedestrians would tend to cross over to the store in mid block. There are 8 street intersections on the north side and 14 on the south, although the Sea Horse entrances could be considered street intersections. There are 29 driveways on the north vs. 19 on the south. This is a factor weighing in favor of a sidewalk on the south, however we do not feel a driveway crossing is as significant a safety factor as a street intersection. Another reason this may not be a significant factor is that some of the driveways in the south will be coming out to the street with walls on both sides. This creates a visibility problem especially as it relates to pedestrians on a sidewalk. 4) If the sidewalk were constructed on the south side adjacent to Three Points Park the slope from the street to the park which is at a lower level would extend 5 feet further into the flat area of the City Park. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call. Very truly yours, McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC. Lyle Swanson, P.E.

SCHIEFFER Mr. Herb Bischke 311 Ohua Avenue 12 C Honolulu, Hawaii 96815 Re: Lots 11 and 26, Block ·15, Arden, City of Mound Dear Mr. Bischke: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 16, 1980. I really see no point in my trying to argue this matter with you or to try to convince you that the law is properly founded. It is of course a matter of opinion as to the importance of the South 1/2 of Lot 26 being added to Lot 11. The City Code requires 6,000 square feet. The lot was, prior to your conveyance, combined in such a fashion that the 6,000 feet applied. The fact that a property is non-conforming or as you say "grandfathered", does not mean that it can go from the grandfathered or non-conforming status to the conforming status and. then back to a non-conforming s~atus. I am sending your letter along with a copy of this letter to Mr. Kopp and I am sure he will transmit it on to the City Council. I cannot offer you any hope or assistance other than that in my prior letter. I have no authority to waive the requirements of the ordin- ance nor would it be my place to try to influence the City Council in the manner in which you suggest. I do not see any alternative for you other than filing an application for a lot division, but I believe in all honesty as set forth in my prior letter and in Mr. Kopp's communications, there is not a good chance that the council will grant your variance. Many of the points raised in your letter are incorrect, but I really see no point in trying to argue them on a point by point basis. I again thank you for the personal compli- ments, but I think you over-estimate my influence or my ability to resolve this problem.

Nearly all of the homes in the area were built there- ~bouts or before and I'm reasonably sure they are "grandfathered" in as acceptable and if they burned down would it not be'difficult to impose a subsequent ordinance to a retroactive situation?

AT THAT POINT AND TI~, NO MENTION OF ½ of Lot 26 was a part of the title and so I presumed that it had not been conveyed at that point: Further, t'~,~ ;½ of lot 26 was not added to lot 11 Block 15 to meet a lot size requirement but rather / a convenience ,measure between Brother and Sister for enjoyment purposes and for a walking access to the commons in the event the Sister should pass away: THE ½ LOT D~-LEGS from the property and SERVES NO BUILDING VALUE: If it had run parralel with lot 11 and w~e in fact ½ of lot 10 Or ½ of lot~ then what you propose would make sense. The Garage on the other ½ of Lot 26 I beleive encroaches 6he ½ in question and would again be in violation of you~ codes. Unless the newly adopted method or perhaps antiquated method of "Line of Sights" method is used and has the flexability of overlooking this possible encroachment and would thereby meet the Set back requirements. If the Dog-leg character of the lot is considered as acceptable to bring an undersized lot up to Mounds _~B,i..l~Bg code then it wou~d be logical for people on streets where they have swampc~n~.t_h..e,~0~s~t~_~i.d~;~ of the street to acquire an additional amount of s~uare footage to bring an undersized up to Mounds code? ? ? ? ? ? lots to If this were the case you would be inundated with people bringing undersized "CODE". Or. YOU. might find that if the Mound Citizens of Sound Mind and good judgement might come and .picup the Members of both the Council and planning commission and deliver them to· the~ "Loony Bin" for observation, First of all, Why would-anyone ALREADY LIVING in a fully built home acquire an additional 2000 # lA. years later Just_to bring it up to any citys newly adopted'b~ilding code.

I trust that the things that I have shared with you will help you to see the situation from the "other side of the table" and will help you to focus on reality. I'm sure you agree thatthe "Letter of the Law" is' not operative in all situations and therefore persons like yourself with the capability to think and reason are needed to make prudent evaluations and clean unbiased , well founded decisions. Our Doctors are finding today that empathy, compassion and "Aloha"( a less misunderstood word than love) are largely the solutions to an ailing society in our trouble.d world. "Bedside Manners" is also a term used by many doctors: I'm sure that in your Legal Proffession, you warm the hearts of many distraught and discouraged people.

To allow adequate time for thorough evaluation of the responses, the proposed resolution has been removed from the July 24, 1980 agenda of the County Board. Board action on the proposal has been suspended until further notice. In some instances it may be of value for our staff to meet with local officials on this issue.
