Mound Ci~ CoundlMinut~ Apd127,1~3 1.6 APPROVAL OF PROPOSED PLAN OF ACTION, DECISION FLOW CHART AND PROCEDURE MANUAL RE: CONSTRUCTION ON PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT PROCESS The Building Official explained that there are three things for the Council to consider tonight. 1. Plan of Action: Renewing Public Land Permits; Amended Decision Flow Chart; and The following are the reasons for the amendments to the Flow Chart: Re-phrase some of the language to be more user friendly; put in question format. Completely re-number all steps (squares). Add square #3.5 "Does proposed improvement require approval from another agency? If yes, received approval from agency, then proceed. Add within squares #4 and #5 the type of permits (i.e. Construction on Public Lands, Land Alteration, Public Land Maintenance, and Continuation of Structure) to help clarify where to go next. Combine circles from old flow chart, #6 and #14, into square #11. Combine squares from old flow chart, #7 and #16, into square #14. 3. Proposed Procedure Manual. The Council discussed the proposed resolution to adopt the amended "Decision Flow Chart". They asked that the following be deleted, "WHEREAS, the City of Mound in 1976 formulated the Decision Flow Chart for the granting of Construction and Maintenance Permits for structures on public parks: and". This deletion is because it refers to public parks not public lands. There were also a couple of typos on the flow chart. The Council discussed a residence that is currently on Commons and if this would fall under #2 of the proposed Flow Chart. The City Attorney answered yes. Jessen moved and Jensen seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION #93-51 RESOLUTION TOAD OPT THE AMENDED "DECISION FLOW CHART" IMPLEMENTING THE PROCESSING OF SPECIAL PERMITS FOR PRIVATE STRUCTURES AND PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON PUBLIC LANDS The voted was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. it I t I I I, J Mound City Council Minutes April 27, 1993 The Council then reviewed the Procedures Manual. The Council asked that the samples in the Manual be reviewed to be sure that the time period of 3 or 5 years is correct for each sample that will be included. Page 1436 of the packet (page 45) there should be 2 other sites added to the first 2 sites because 4 sites are mentioned. The Council also asked that as permits are issued they be tracked on the computer so that the City sends out notices when they are due for renewal. On page 1394 of the packet #6. C. needs to be changed from "the Assessing Department" to "the Finance Department". The Council also asked that the same Whereas be deleted from this proposed resolution as in Resolution #93-51. Jessen moved and Johnson seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION #93-52 RESOLUTION TO ADOPT A PUBLIC LANDS PROCEDURE MANUAL FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERMITS FOR PRIVATE STRUCTURES AND PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON PUBLIC LANDS Councilmember Ahrens stated she would vote against this resolution because she voted against the dock ordinance change at the last meeting. She felt there could be other reasons than safety that a person could be denied a dock. The vote was 4 in favor with Ahrens voting nay. Motion carried. 1.7 RESOLUTION PROCLAINTNG WESTONKA SENIOR CENTER WEEK, MAY 3-7, 1993 The Mayor read the proclamation. Smith moved and Jensen seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION #93-53 RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING WESTONKA CENTER WEEK - MAY 3-7, 1993 The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.

Lunch will follow address at $10.00 per person. Please plan on attending this event to hear the Governor's thoughts on the remaining weeks of the Legislative Session. Eo The City Manager reported that the Recycling Day was a huge success. The Council complimented the people who worked and the residents who contributed by cleaning up their yards. The Council asked that all the figures be analyzed after they are all in to be sure that we are not subsidizing the program. The Mayor reported that since this not only benefited Mound but other surrounding communities, he has asked two of those communities if they would be willing to supply some people power for the next Recycling Day and they have agreed. Councilmember Jensen asked that the Manager stay after Dakota Rail about all the brush that they cut and left in the right- of-way some time ago. 1.11 APPROVAL OF PROPOSED PART-TIME POSITION OF CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WITHIN THE POLICE AND PLANNING AND INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENTS The City Manager explained that this is on the agenda as a result of the interest by the Council to try to more aggressively enforce our existing nuisance ordinance as it applies to yard clean-up, debris, junk cars, and code enforcement issues that we have been trying to deal with, with the staff we have. As a result, in the 1993 proposed budget Police and Planning recommended that we add a part-time code enforcement officer or community service officer. That was cut out of the budget by the City Manager. The Council Mound City Council Minutes April 27, 1993 has been interested in pursuing this so the new proposal is a part- time person, approximately 25 hours a week, at $7.50 per hour and the costs would be shared equally by Police and Planning. This person would assist the current code enforcement officer with the issues mentioned above. There was a proposed resolution. The title of this position would be Community Service Officer, not Code Enforcement Officer, as in the job description. The Council discussed the job description and indicated they would like to see emphasis put on enforcing the nuisance ordinance, i.e. junk cars, messy yards, and code enforcement. The Council also asked that there be tracking on how much time is spent on each aspect of the enforcement. Smith moved and Jensen seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION #93-54 RESOLUTION APPROVING PART TIME POSITION AS CO~fUNITY SERVICE OFFICER WITHIN THE POLICE AND PLANNING AND INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENTS The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. L.12 PRESENTATION OF PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY REPORT USING T~X INCREMENT FINANCING FOR THE ~DEVELOPMRNT OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER PROPERTY - ~OISINGTON KOEGLER GROUP, INC. Mr. Rusty Fiefield, Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc., presented a Preliminary Feasibility Analysis for the Use of Tax Increment Financing in the possible redevelopment of Community Services Building. The objectives of the report were to: Provide the City of Mound and other effected parties an assessment of the ability to create a tax increment financing district. Analyze the capacity of tax increment financing to provide public participation in redevelopment. Identify other issues relating to the use of tax increment financing. 4. Identify other steps to be taken in creating a plan of finance. Based on their analysis they performed, tax increment financing could be used to facilitate the redevelopment of the community services building site. He stated this is a qualified "could be". There are a number of things that need to happen for that to fall Mound City Council Minutes April 27, 1993 into place. Mr. Fiefield reviewed the following informational items with the Council: Ability to Create TIF District Statutory Criteria Limitations on Redevelopment District Calculation of Tax Increment Adjustment of Original Tax Capacity Estimated Tax Increment Development Scenario 1: Grocery Store Only Development Scenario 2: With Bank & Liquor Store Financial Feasibility Analysis Project Costs Sale of Land Debt Capacity Loss of Local Government Aid Findings and Recommendations Mr. Fiefeld suggested the following in planning for the project: Gather additional information needed to support the findings to create a redevelopment TIF district. Continue to seek formal clarification from the County on the establishment of the Original Tax Capacity after sale to the developer. Monitor potential changes in the 1994 legislative session in case the TIF district needs to be created in advance of adverse legislation action. Bruce Chamberlain pointed out that one of the goals of the Mound Visions Project is to support and strengthen existing Mound retailers. Thus, when talking about a grocery store, liquor store and bank, these are all existing businesses. The scenarios do not involve new retailers. The Council also discussed the fact that there would have to be another community center developed if this project is undertaken. There was no action taken on this item at this time. 1.13 DISCUSSION: RECONSIDEI~ATION OF MID BLOCK CROSSWALKS REMOVAL ON SHORELINE DRIVE AT THE HOUSE OF MOY The city Manager summarized his letter and questions (dated March 31, 1993) to Hennepin County and their response (dated April 15, 1993) to his letter regarding the House of Moy crosswalk. He reported that there was a meeting with Hennepin County on April 6 to look at this mid block crosswalk and the possibility of moving it to the east. The following were responses from the County: Mound City Council Minutes April 27, 1993 1. REQUEST: Reconsideration of a "No Right Turn on Red" sign at CSAH 15 and CASH 110. RESPONSE: It is inconsistent with County policies for placing these signs. There was not sufficient reason to change their previous response not to install this sign. REQUEST: Moving the present House of Moy crosswalk to the MTC bus shelter east of the House of Moy. RESPONSE: There are two significant problems: a. the number of trucks maneuvering be to make deliveries to the boat and auto repair business just west of the proposed crosswalk location which would screen both pedestrians and warning signs thus causing safety problems for pedestrians; and there are several driveways in this area with vehicles slowing and stopping to turn into driveways which could cause confusion to drivers as to whether vehicles are stopped for turns and for pedestrians. REQUEST: Review of types of crosswalk striping that could be used if the House of Moy crosswalk was to remain. RESPONSE: The county would use a new standard of crosswalk striping (longitudinal blocks 2' x 6' and the use of Stamark preformed durable marking material). This would be beyond their normal practice. 4. REQUEST: Speed limit reduction to 30 miles per hour. RESPONSE: The speed limit is established by the Commissioner of Transportation. This area was reviewed in 1989 when the current speed limit of 35 mph was set. The Council can make a request and the County is willing to forward that request but urged that a lower speed limit be confined to the immediate downtown area of CSAH 15. REQUEST: Additional signing to better warn motorists of pedestrians in the House of Moy crosswalk. RESPONSE: With elimination of Post Office crosswalk, they would be able to provide advance warning signs in addition to the existing crosswalk warning signs at the House of Moy crosswalk. To improve nighttime visibility, they would use Hi-Intensity sheeting on the signs. They could also provide Day-glo plaques on top of the advance warning signs. Theses are Mound City Council Minutes April 27, 1993 both beyond their normal practice. Se STATEMENT: The City is analyzing options regarding providing parking on the same side of the road as the House of Moy. RESPONSE: Strong encouragement to continue this effort since it eliminates pedestrian/vehicle conflicts on CSAH 15 and provides safety benefits. PROBLEM: People walking directly out of the House of Moy into the crosswalk on CSAH 15. RESPONSE: The County right-of-way appears limited and the best solution to this appears to be either the reworking of the House of Moy's front steps, or the moving of the crosswalk slightly east or west. REQUEST: More time be allowed for pedestrians crossing at the signal at CSAH 110 and CSAH 15. RESPONSE: Their Operations Engineer will adjust the timing of the Walk/Don't Walk phases in the near future. They will also place a decal on the signal to better inform the pedestrians as to what the "Walk/Don't Walk" indications mean. The County stated the following in their letter: "...there is substantial controversy over the safety benefit provided to pedestrians by crosswalks. There is concern that crosswalks may provide the pedestrian with a false sense of security and there is particular concern regarding mid-block crosswalks on four lane roadways ....... It is the County's position to support the City in their request to remove the four mid-block pedestrian crossings in Mound." The Police Chief was present and stated that he agreed with the County as far as their assessment of moving the crosswalk to the MTC bus shelter. He further stated that he has not changed his opinion on mid-block crosswalks and how dangerous they are. The Council stated they would like to request that the speed limit in the downtown area be reduced to 30 mph. The Police Chief stated that the problem will be that the Department of Transportation will not just lower the speed limit. They will come out and do a traffic study which could work in reverse of what the Council wants, because if 85% of the traffic is going 35 mph or higher that is where the speed limit could be set. The Council decided to continue to explore the speed limit option. Mound City Council Minutes April 27, 1993 The Council discussed providing more signage on County Road 15 calling attention to the public parking lot that is located behind the House of Moy. They also discussed what Mrs. Moy could do to encourage parking in the rear parking lot, i.e. provide and entrance to the restaurant from the rear. The Council accepted the additional petition that was turned in last Thursday. Mike Durell, representing the House of Moy, presented additional signatures since the last petition was turned in. He stated that there are now approximately 2945 signatures on 177 pages in support of retaining the crosswalk at 5555 Shoreline Dr. adding certain safety features. He noted that Representative Steve Smith has signed the petition and stands firmly behind the merits of this petition. Mr. Durell stated that Representative Smith has assured them that he will be working diligently toward obtaining a lower speed limit in the downtown area of Mound. The Council assured Mr. Durell that the lower speed limit will continue to be explored. Mr. Durell stated that he is here to encourage the Council to accept the County's offers to improve the crosswalk. The Mayor stated that if the Council decided to keep the crosswalk, they would certainly accept the County's suggestions for crosswalk marking. Mr. Durell stated that there should be driver education campaign like handing out tickets to driver's who do no observe the crosswalks. The Mayor stated that the Council has discussed this before. The Police Chief stated that the City has no control over what happens in court with crosswalk violation tickets. He further stated that money has been set aside every Spring to write crosswalk violations and have done that and on one occasion the Judge offered every violator the opportunity to just pay court costs. The Mayor asked if Mr. Durell had new information to offer. Mr. Durell stated that he has given updates on the petition. Mr. Durell stated he was hopeful that the Council was going to keep the crosswalk with the improvements. He pointed out that a lot of people (as named on the petition) are requesting the crosswalk remain. He further stated that there were 5 people struck in crosswalks in the last three years, and most of which were hit at traffic lights. He stated that the fairest hearing is the petition. Mound City Council Minutes April 27, 1993 The Mayor stated that the easiest thing to do with this issue would be to leave the crosswalk and put up a yellow flashing light. He stated that the best information from the public safety people is that this mid-block crosswalk will always be dangerous, no matter what we do to it. Councilmember Ahrens state that if all the people signing the petition had all the information that the Council has and heard all the testimony from the experts, that probably those people would not have signed the petition. She stated she intends to support removal of the mid-block crosswalk. Councilmember Smith stated that he feels there is plenty of parking in the rear public parking lot (which could be improved) and he felt that the citizens would use that lot if the crosswalk is removed. Councilmember Jessen stated that even with new striping and lighting, that mid-block crosswalk would still not be safe. She agreed that using the parking lot behind the House of Moy and other areas on that side of the street seems to be the best alternative. Councilmember Jensen stated she takes a different view of this. She stated she is fearful that removing this crosswalk will make a bad situation even worse. She stated she does not support leaving it where it is, nor moving it down to the bus shelter. She stated she sees the problem as being able to walk out of a business, down the stairs and right into the street. She would prefer moving the crosswalk some distance to the east, not west which would be closer to Marion St. or the signal lights at CSAH 110 and CSAH 15. After it is moved east, take the County up on their offer to change the signage and markings on the street, to better let drivers know there is a situation in front of them. She favored continuing pursuit of reducing the speed limit in that area. She also wants to pursue the "No Turn on Red" signage. MOTION made by Smith, seconded by Jessen to remove the crosswalk in front of the House of Moy, along with the other 3 mid-block crosswalks that were discussed at a previous meeting. The vote was 4 in favor with Jensen voting nay. Motion carried. The Mayor stated that the City will continue to try to reduce the speed limit in the downtown area and if Representative Smith can help, it would be appreciated. Mr. Durell stated that Representative Smith will work diligently to keep the crosswalk at the House of Moy. The Council also asked that signage on County Road 15 calling attention to the public parking lot at the rear of the House of Moy be done. Mound City Council Minutes April 27, 1993 l. L4 PENDING LXTI~TION The City Attorney stated that the City has been threatened with litigation. Five residents, living on Bluebird Lane, have contacted the Council and indicated that they believe that the land which abuts their property and lies between their homestead and the lake, is not land that the City of Mound has any right to be regulating or issuing dock permits on. They have researched and presented the City with approximately 14 pages of allegations. Those allegations are now being reviewed and studied by members of City Staff and we are trying to get a handle on exactly what the background is and what the facts are as it relates to what has happened here. So the City Staff is working, going through old files. There is going to be a necessity to do some research and some other things as to the rights that these people are asserting. Since the original communication, the City has received another communication yesterday, (because the Dock Inspector is out there now and has placed some stakes on 9 various locations on the Commons) and these people are objecting and indicating that this is escalating the dispute between the City and themselves as property owners. This is the current status. The City Attorney further stated that we need to find out what the facts are in order to respond to the allegations. If the facts are, as they have stated, then we have to assess those facts to determine what the City's rights are. There is a difference between public commons and there are commons that are dedicated to subdivisions or other lot owners. It is their position that this is not a public commons. The Mayor asked if these people are also suggesting that this is not a dedicated commons either, that the people that don't abut the commons don't have a right to be there either. The City Attorney stated that they are indicating that any argument in respect to that is between them and their neighbors. And they take the position that their neighbors do not have certain rights, but that's not unusual, because they are trying to lay some kind of claim to that land. The City Attorney stated that it will take about a month to put this together. At that time, he will meet with the Council, explain the facts that have been assembled and explain the various alternatives to the Council. This will probably have to be done in Executive Session because then the Council will have to make some choices as to which direction the Council will go. The City Attorney will keep the Council updated. Mound CityCouncilMinutes Apd127,1~3 MOTION made by Jensen, seconded by Ahrens to adjourn at 11:00 P.M. The vote was unanimously in favor.

Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the applicant,s request for a variance to recognize existing nonconforming setbacks in order to construct a fully conforming entry deck. The resulting variances are 13' to the north front (Monmouth) and 1' to the east side. The impervious surface coverage for both existing and proposed appears conforming to the maximum 30 percent allowed by City Code. Staff recommended approval of the request as the proposal is fully conforming to the applicable requirements of the City Code. Jensen questioned the Building Official's statement that the impervious surface "appears" conforming. The Building Official commented that according to the applicant,s calculations the lot conforms to the lot coverage requirements. He also stated that there is existing impervious cover where the deck is proposed to be located so the amount of hardcover does not change. MOTION made by Han~s, seconded by Michael to recommend approval of ~he varx~nce request as recommended by staff. Motion carried unanimously. This case will be heard by the City Council on May 11, 1993.

I understand that signs are already slated to be placed on our block. However we need them placed on the south side of the road, the side with the newly constructed homes, not the north side as is currently on the books so that our mail can be delivered. We need these signs as soon as possible for the following reasons: 1. Emergency vehicles such as fire trucks can not approach the homes on this block if vehicles are parked on both sides of our street. 2. Mail is not delivered if vehicles are blocking access to our mailboxes. 3. When vehicles are parked on both sides of the road I can't not exit my driveway because there isn't enough room to pull out. Thank you so much for your help today. Sincerely, Irma C. Richardson To: From: Subject: Mound City Council Residents of Beachwood Road from Bartlett Boulevard to the Cul De Sac on Beachwood On Street Parking of Vehicles. We the people of Beachwood Road respectfully request that parking be banned on both sides of Beachwood Road. There are a number of important reasons for this request. They are as follows: 1. Safety - Access can not be gained to properties for emergency vehicles. Pedestrian Safety - Many people from the surrounding neighborhoods as well as the people from the 5800 block use this road for access to Mound Bay Park and downtown Mound. Our Lady of The Lake school uses this road as part of their Walk/Ride Marathon. Our own children use this road for the same reasons. Bicycle Safety - Adults and children use this road because it is much more safe than County Road 110. Personal Safety - The roadway is a cul-de-sac, 25 feet wide. Trailer combinations range from 8 to 9 feet wide. When these vehicles are parked on both sides of the street the roadway is reduced to 8 to 9 feet wide. When vehicles are parked on one side of the road the roadway is reduced to 16 to 17 feet. Both of these scenarios do not allow enough room for local traffic. Cars meeting on this road can not pass each other safely. Entering and leaving our own driveways is not safe due to reduced visibility. 5. Mail delivery is interrupted because the carrier can not get to the mailbox. 6. Mowing the lawn is difficult when vehicles are parked up to or on the grass. 7. Trash is left behind when these vehicles leave. We the following residents of Beachwood road between Barelttt and the Cul De Sac support a parking ban the 5800 block of Beachwood Road, between Bartlett and the Beachwood Road cul de sac.

PROCLAMATION W~ER~&S, the annual sale of Buddy Poppies by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States has been officially recognized and endorsed by governmental leaders since 1922; and W~ER~AS, VFW Buddy Poppies are assembled by disabled veterans, and the proceeds of this worthy fund-raising campaign are used exclusively for the benefit of disabled and needy veterans, and the widows and orphans of deceased veterans; and ~R~AS, the basic purpose of the annual sale of Buddy Poppies by the Veterans of Foreign Wars is eloquently reflected in the desire to "Honor the Dead by Helping the Living", therefore I, SKIP JOHNSON, Mayor of the City of Mound, Minnesota, do hereby urge the citizens of this community to recognize the merits of this cause by contributing generously to its support through the purchase of Buddy Poppies on the day set aside for the distribution of these symbols of appreciation for the sacrifices of our honored dead. I urge all patriotic citizens to wear a Buddy Poppy as mute evidence of our gratitude to the men and women of this country who have risked their lives in defense of the freedoms which we continue to enjoy as American citizens.

As a citizen and constituent of yours, I would ask that you reconsider recent Mound City Council action as it pertains to closing the above crosswalk. Maintaining the crosswalk where it is and making it safer would be a plus for everyone in the community. The crosswalk is convenient and is appropriate not only for the House of Moy, but also for the business community in general. I am aware that you're considering parking on the same side of the road as the House of Moy restaurant, for its customers, and/or somewhere behind the House of Moy, on Auditor's Road. It doesn't make any sense to close the crosswalk prior to having alternative parking. And I believe that it doesn't make sense in any regard. I hope that you can see your way clear to reconsidering this situation and contributing to the safety and well-being of Mound, rather than detract from it, and keep the crosswalk open. 2710 Clare Lane, Mound, Minnesota 55364 State Office Building, St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 (612) 472-766,1 (612) 296-9188 IR FAX (612) 296-3949 Page Two - To that end, I would be happy to lend any service that I can as your State Representative to obtain any assistance from the county or state that may be necessary in retaining the crosswalk and making it safer.

Each year we find damage done over the winter to the basketball goals and play structures. Parts have been ordered and generally take a few weeks to come in. The trash cans have been distributed to the parks but we are behind in getting the picnic tables out because it has been wet. We store the tables at the open end of the Depot and we don't want to tear up the grass. Currently, we have two seasonal maintenance persons on hand. We will be picking up the two college students at the end of May. The new play structure for Three Points has come in and is scheduled for installation in May. The Minnesota Tree Trust will help out again. They have done a great job in the past with other areas that have been improved. CEMETERY The repairs of the grounds has been started to prepare for Memorial Day. Phil is doing a good job in restoring areas that were damaged from winter burials. DOCKS Tom has been very busy with issuing the 93 dock sites. This year requests have been above normal and he has been putting in a lot of time helping residents with their requests. TREES Two trees were marked for removal from private property. This time of the year with road restrictions on there is some difficulty in getting trees down because heavy trucks are not allowed on side streets.

Gross sales for the month were $110,748. Last year in April sales were $93,326. That's an increase of 19%. So far for the year, (with one third gone), we are up $47,656 over last year at this time. In percentage figures that translates to almost 14%. Something occurred here at the store that has not happened in 16 years. We had new carpeting installed. It was done by Daniel Interiors here in Mound, for the low bid of $2,792. The color is "Raspberry Wine". Quite attractive, and hopefully will hide spills better. This feat was performed Thursday, April 29th. They began immediately at 8 PM, when we closed and worked non-stop until 3:30 in the morning. Of course, I had to be there with them. Lots of coffee was consumed that evening. The difficult work began for me when they left. I had to put all of the displays back on the floor that we had taken off earlier. This took me right up to $ AM, when we were ready to open again in the morning. Everything worked out perfectly. Was I ever beat though.

This brings year to date valuation to $794,178. There were 20 plumbing, mechanical and miscellaneous permits issued for a total of 54 this month, and 149 year to date. PLANNING AND ZONING We are actively applying our new Shoreland Management Ordinance. I have questioned the public and permit applicants about the maximum 30% impervious surface requirement and the majority of the responses have been positive. It is nice to have their support. The Planning Commission and City Council processed the usual number of planning and zoning variance cases. Review continues on the Truth in Housing, the Rental and the Floodplain ordinances. The procedure manual for construction on public lands permits was reviewed and approved by the Council. The Council took an aggressive step towards improving the appearance of the City by directing the City Manager and staff to hire a new part time employee, a Community Service Officer. (CSO). The CSO's primary duties are to enforce city code regulations in the areas of derelict automobiles, nuisances, exterior storage and trash complaints. The position will be supervised by the Police Chief, but will work for both the Police and Planning and Inspections Departments. JS:ls printed on recycled paper BUILDLNG ACTIVITY REPORT Month: ^PRn.

Chair Schneider opened the meeting acknowledging the presence of some 30 persons representing homeowners in and around the Libbs Lake area, Minnetonka. The homeowners came to present their case for not having a public boat access on Libbs Lake. Grathwol reviewed the history of the Lake Access Task Force and how it was given the charge, among others, to examine potential access sites on Lake Minnetonka as part of the plan to provide 700 car/trailer parking spaces for public use. Schneider then explained the criteria to be used in evaluating potential public access sites. The Libbs Lake people had already received a copy of the criteria. They did their Libbs Lake evaluation. Terry Nura, 3035 Lakeshore Blvd, Minnetonka, presented copies to the subcommittee members. Schneider agreed to take their written evaluation into consideration as the Libbs Lake site was evaluated by subcommittee members. Schneider also pointed out that the Libbs Lake property was put on the potential site list because it had been offered to the Lake Access Task Force as "for sale" for possible lake access purposes. As such it was included for evaluation. Tom Miller, 16609 Park La., and Greg Kitchak, 16912 Grays Bay Blvd., also spoke in opposition to the access possibilities as did other members of the group stating similar concerns. 'POTENTIAL ACCESS SITE PROCEDURE AND REVIEW. Subcommittee members agreed to use a ranking system for each of the ten criteria ranging the site for each criteria from "Bad", "Poor", "Neutral", "Good" and "Very Good". Comments specific to a particular site were also noted. The ranking outcome is summarized on the attached report. This report will be submitted to the Lake Access Task Force at its 5/12 meeting. CONSIDERATIONS IN DEALING WITH POTENTIAL ACCESS SITES. Three points were reiterated for public understanding in dealing with potential access sites: / 77 ACCESS SITING SUBCOMMITTEE, Minutes, 5/4/93, P. 2 l) All sites must have willing sellers o 2) City cooperation in advancing the access must be secured 3) Agency cooperation must also be secured in advance a site MARINAS AS POTENTIAL ACCESS SITES. Marinas, removed from the potential access site list, will be considered separately. Subcommittee concurred that marinas should be examined for: 1) Potential use of extending existing capacity. 2) Extent to which the marina already serves the public for fee paid access. 3) Attitude of nearby homeowners for public access use. 4) Considering any public access use as a temporary trial. 5) Management issues such as how public parking/launch space would be reserved and accounted for in a mix of fee-paid launch service. 6) MN DNR budget constraints in annual funding leased space NEW POTENTIAL ACCESS SITE. Doll Haugen, 16930 Grays Bay Blvd., Minnetonka, asked the subcommittee's consideration of a potential public access site she envisions could serve the public as a multiple-use site, including park purposes. The site identified is the Sweat family estate on the northwest corner of Grays Bay, Wayzata, bordering about .7 of a mile on County Hwy. 101. The site is estimated at 70 or more acres. The site size was initially addressed. Its use for public purposes would more likely fall in the category of a park. Subcommittee members did not believe it appropriate to open a discussion on public use with a narrow focus of an access site. Rather it believed a park use would be more fitting for any public use. If such consideration were given to this property, then a public access might be considered as part of a multiple use park facility. Haugen was thus invited to pursue her interest with the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District by contacting the park superintendent. Haugen volunteered to make a contact with the park superintendent. LAKE ACCESS TASK FORCE AGENDA. The agenda for the 5/12/93 meeting was discussed. The subcommittee recommended the following agenda priorities: Ao Access Siting Subcommittee report on potential access sites B. Status of marinas for participating in car/trailer parking and free public access C. Agreements report for cities, county on c/t access NEXT MEETING, ADJOURNMENT. The subcommittee concurred it would look to the Task Force for further direction. The meeting adjourned at 10:35 pm. ect ful 1y_~ubmitted, Executive Director LAKE MINNETONKA 1993 ACCESS SITE EVALUATION CRITERIA The Task Force has developed evaluation criteria which should be used in selecting potential new access sites for fishing craft and small recreation boats. While it may be impossible to meet the highest grading of each standard, the following should be seriously considered and graded. Other evaluation items may be considered on a site- specific basis. 1. Relationship to residential areas -- Positive and negative impacts of the site on adjacent residential areas, such as distance between a site and nearby homes, screening the site from homes, noise, traffic, etc. 2. Accessibility to primary highways -- Potential sites near major highways (State Highways 7 and 101, County Roads 19 and 15 are examples) to reduce traffic impact on residential streets. Safety- on site, ~ .... ~ ~ ...... ~ ~ shall be graded. 3. Public use precedent-- Sites which are already in public ownership or in commercial or industrial use, or isolated from other residential areas, have the least neighborhood impact, and where public facilities or services have been provided and accepted. 4. Intensity of boating use near a potential access site -- Sections of the lake where there is intense boating, or crowding in channels, should be downgraded. 5. Cost -- Property acquisition, development and maintenance costs must be considered. 6. Physical development constraints -- Consider positive and negative impacts needed on land and in the water to make the potential site usable. 7. visual impacts -- Positive and negative visual impacts as seen from land and water. 8. Multiple use opportunities for the site -- sites that could provide facilities such as shore fishing, pier fishing, picnic areas, and toilets, etc., along with boat access are preferred. 9. Site size -- Larger sites with off-street parking are preferred. 10. Environmental considerations related to dredging, fill, run-off control, wetlands, preservation, etc. Footnotes: 1. Sites shall not be excluded because there is limited access for large boats. Sites will be preferred that provide equitable distribution.

FROM: ...... LMCD.CHAIR,.~DAVID H. COCHRAN DATE: APRIL 28, 1993 RE: LMCD FUNDING SOURCES Recently concern has been expressed about pending legislation which would amend certain statutes relating to the LMCD to eliminate language granting specific but limited taxing authority to the member cities to fund the LMCD budget. We think it appropriate to advise you of the LMCD's views regarding the legislation and the expressed concern that, if enacted, the legislation would authorize or encourage the LMCD to increase its reliance on the member cities' taxing authority to finance its programs. First, the proposed legislation was introduced without the LMCD's knowledge or support and the LMCD has not endorsed it and will not do so. Second, it is important to note that the legislation does not affect the authority of the LMCD; it affects the taxing authority of the member cities. The LMCD does not possess any taxing authority. Third, and most important, the legislation, even if passed in the form in which it was introduced (we understand it may be amended to restore the limitation), will not be considered by the LMCD as a mandate or suggestion that it increase its reliance on city property taxes or other city revenues to finance its programs. To the contrary, the LMCD has been committed for some time to limiting its use of city property taxes or other city revenues as a funding source, to developing other funding sources within the limits of the LMCD's statutory authority and to working for statutory changes, if necessary, to broaden the LMCD's funding base to include all users and beneficiaries of the Lake. We affirm that commitment. Each member of the LMCD board is appointed by and accountable to his or her member city. We welcome your thoughts and comments on all of the issues affecting the Lake and the LMCD, particularly those relating to financial matters. As you know, the LMCD is required to submit a proposed budget in June to each city governing body for its review and comment. Our practice is to also submit a draft of the proposed budget to each city after the May Board meeting to ensure that you have adequate opportunity for early and meaningful comment. We will continue this practice and invite and appreciate your input. c: Mayors I I i, I I I~ LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT 2nd Quarter 1993 Report to the Mayors 7:00 am, Tuesday, May 18, 1993 LaFayette Club Welcome and self introductions of persons present Overview of the reports being presented, Chair Cochran Progress reports on program priorities: a.

Just a year ago, discussions about regional governance were as common as "gators in the lakes.' But the AMM Metropolitan Governance Task Force report sparked com- ments in the media, on the streets and at the Legislature, where at least six bills that would dramatically alter regional governance were introduced. A thought-provoking panel discussion about the future of metro governance will kick off the Business Meeting. Moderated by Cottage Grove Manager Kevin Frazell, the panel should include Sen. Carol Flynn, DFL-MpIs, who sponsored a bill embracing recommendations of the AMM task force; Dottie Rietow, Met Council Chair, and other "experts.' The AMM's second annual Innovative City Award will be presented to the city program judged to have demonstrated creativity in addressing a particular issue. Last year, Richfield and Minneapolis were co-winners. Will it be your city this year? For more than two years a dedicated group of city officials and professional mediators have been enlighte, ning city officials about the benefits of alternative dispute resolution methods.The AMM will present its inaugural Peacemaker Award to recognize the city that opted to resolve a dispute by means other than the court system. Before the evening events begin, you are invited to tour Minnetonka's high tech detention facility. Please make dinner and tour reservations to Carol Williams (490-3301) no later than Friday, May 21.

From: Bruce Chamberlain, Economic Development Coordinator Re: Update of issues regarding redevelopment. During the week of April 26 there were separate meetings regarding a redevelopment project held with retailers which may be a part of redevelopment on the site, the Mound City Council and representatives of the Mound Westonka School District. Two reports have recently been completed in regard to this project. The first tests the feasibility of the City using TIF to redevelop the site. The second is the School District's review of costs associated with either relocating the uses in the Community Services-Building or making necessary improvements to the building. The findings project if: 1. 2. 3. 4. of the feasibility study are that the City can implement a TIF the three retailers (Festival Foods, Norwest Bank & Mound Liquor) are involved. the City can purchase the site from the School District for no more than $800,000. the County will place a base value on the property of no more than $540,000. the valuation of the redeveloped site is at least $2.76 million. Through our recent meetings we have discovered a couple of setbacks. The first is that the value of $2.76 million placed on the redeveloped site may be too high, placing an impossible tax burden on the developer and retailers. The second is that it would cost the School District roughly $4.4 million to relocate the essential facilities existing in the Community .Services Building as opposed to $1.8 million to bring the building up to standard. When the profit gained by the School District through selling the site is factored into this equation there still is a $1.8 million difference in costs. Mound City Hall · 5341 Maywood Road · Mound · Minnesota · 55364 · 612-472-1155 Memo Community Services Property Redevelopment 5/6/93 Potential ways of reducing the tax burden on the redeveloped site include petitioning the County to place a significantly lower base value on the property thus lowering the valuation of the redeveloped site or by decreasing the amount paid by the City to purchase the site or by pooling additional outside funds to increase the revenue of the project. The issue of cost (both financial and sentimental) to the School District to relocate the existing uses may be more difficult to overcome. One potential opportunity may be tbr the City and School District to enter into a joint venture to build a new "community center". Another possibility is that when the School District adds the costs of cosmetic improvements to the $1.8 million of essential improvements, the difference between building new and upgrading the existing building may be very small. As you know, the School District is planning to hold a referendum this Fall. To help formulate what level and types of expenditures will be included in the referendum, a telephone survey will be conducted in the next few weeks. The City will be working with the School District to develop several questions in the survey regarding the community services site. If the survey results are negative, the likelihood of this project proceeding is very slim. If survey results are positive, further negotiations will be necessary to resolve the issues listed above. I will keep you informed about the survey results. If you have any questions please feel free contact me at 835-9960.

With the completion of the 18th year of county-municipal partnership, it is appropriate to step back and briefly assess the objectives and accomplishments of the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program. The CDBG Program was created by the Housing and Community Devel- opment Act of 1974, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)was charged with its administration. The Act changed the mode of federal assistance for community develop- ment activities from a categorical, project-by-project basis, to a 'block grant.~ It also provided that smaller cities in metropolitan areas could join with their county governments and create associations that would be assured annual CDBG funding as urban county CDBG sub- recipients. It is as an urban county that Hennepin County became an entitlement recipient of CDBG funds. Urban Hennepin County was created and is maintained through the execution of a joint cooperation agreement between Hennepin County and each community desiring to be part of the program. Through this association, over $56 million has been ex- pended since 1975 on more than 1,800 activities (refer to Figure 5 on page 14). THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM TIlE FIRST EIGHTEEN YEARS 1 Background Ai~r passage of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Hennepin County and interested cities studied the provision for ~aX~e creation of ~urban counties' as a mechanism to qualify for federal com- munity development funding. Urban counties were included in the Act as eligible for funding for a wide range of projects, with ample opportu- nity for local flexibility in their selection and implementation of indi- vidual projects and program.~. In order to qualify as an urban county, Hennepin County had to demon- strate that it possessed sufficient housing and community development legal authority and population size to be an effective participant. This authority was obtained from local communities wishing to participate in the program through execution of a joint powers agreement. Early in 1975, agreements were signed by Hennepin County and 22 communities whose aggregate population exceeded the qualifying threshold of 200,000. This action initiated the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program and provided the basis for participation in each year that followed. Over the last 18 years, the program has grown to include as many as 45 Hennepin County communities. The combined population of the commu- nities in the Urban Hennepin County program for 1992 (Year XVIII) exceeded 500,000. The annual entitlement grant amount to the County peaked in 1980 (Year VI) at $4,379,000. A special appropriation of $1,051,000 from the Jobs Bill of 1983 boosted the 1983 (Year IX ) grant amount to $4,803,000, but the added funds were programmed separately from the annual en- titlement allocation. The least amount of CDBG funds, $738,000, was received in the first year of the program. The entitlement grant amount has leveled at approximately $2,650,000 since 1986 (Year XII).

Since 1989, all communities eligible to participate in the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program have done so with the exception of the cities of Bloomington, Plymouth, and Minneapolis. The city of Bloomington and the city of Minneapolis have not historically participated in the Urban County Program because they qualify as entitlement cities and have received direct funding from HUD. The city of Plymouth qualified for entitlement city status in 1990, and likewise choose not to participate in the Urban County Program and is receiving direct CDBG funding from HUD.

The Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program has demonstrated that a group of diverse communities can effectively cooperate to maximize assistance provided by the federal government and accomplish common objectives. Each year the Urban County plans, programs, and executes numerous activities to achieve program objectives. This process involves the participation and cooperation of 43 units of government in Hennepin County and their citizens. A major requirement of the program is that the funds expended princi- pally benefit low and moderate income persons (i.e., those in households whose incomes are less than 80 percent of the area median). THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM THE FIRST EIGHTEEN YEARS 7 Figure 3 illustrates how low and moderate income persons have substantially benefited from Urban Hennepin County allocations.

This represents over 30 percent of the total allocation of CDBG funds through the Urban County Program and translates into the provision of rehabilitation services to more than 3,000 households in suburban Hennepin County. THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM THE FIRST EIGHTEEN YEARS 9 PUBLIC FACILITIES Nearly $9 million dollars, or 18 percent of the total allocation are for improving existing public facilities or assisting in the development of new ones. Targeted primarily to areas and groups of low and moderate income persons with special needs, the following projects are examples of public facility activities: Restoration and improvement of Commons Park, Excelsior Remodeling, weatherization and kitchen facilities, Senior Center, Richfield Ce Improvement to HOME Free, shelter for victims of domestic abuse, Plymouth D. Construction of Senior Center, Dayton Assistance in the construction of the Crystal Bay sewer system, Orono NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION Seventeen percent of the CDBG funds have been allocated to maintain, preserve, and improve local neighborhoods. Principally, these funds have been used in low and moderate income area; $9.6 million have been used to make infrastructure improvements and assist redevelop- ment areas. Examples of such projects include: Valley Square redevelopment, Golden Valley THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM THE FIRST EIGHTEEN YEARS 10 Bo Bass Lake Road commercial area redevelopment, Crystal Ce Purchase, removal and redevelopment of substandard housing sites, Robbinsdale, Richfield and Crystal Three commercial/residential redevelopment projects in Brooklyn Park: 85th and Xerxes, 63rd and Douglas, and Southeast Area ASSISTED HOUSING Expenditures of about $6.3 million (11 percent) of the funds have been programmed to aid in the development of new, affordable housing for low and moderate income households. These funds have helped to provide 94 units for persons with disabilities, 187 units of family housing, 869 units for the elderly, and 61 units of transitional housing. Examples of assisted housing supported by the Urban County Program include: Sterling Ponds, elderly housing, Eden Prairie Wayside House, transitional housing for women, St. Louis Park Union City Mission--Smith Lodge, transitional housing for men, Plymouth D. Cedar Hills, family housing, Minnetonka E. Pleasant Place, elderly housing, Rogers THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM THE FIRST EIGHTEEN YEARS 11 REMOVAL OF ARCHITECTURAL BARRIERS Over $3 million has been allocated to remove architectural barriers that restrict the mobility and accessibility of elderly or disabled persons to public buildings, public facilities, and public or private housing. Among the projects of this type undertaken with CDBG funds are: Suburban Hennepin County Regional Park District facilities Be Community Centers in the cities of Brooklyn Center, Edina, Maple Grove, and New Hope C. Hennepin County Goveroment Center PUBLIC SERVICES Current federal CDBG program regulations allow the County to utilize up to 15 percent of the annual grant amount for public services. More than $3.4 million has been provided for these types of activities in support of government and nonprofit agency efforts to meet some of the social service needs of the elderly, disabled, and low and moderate income persons throughout suburban Hermepin County. Public service CDBG funds have been widely used to support: Child care Be Our Kids, a summer park program in low income neighborhoods C.

THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM THE FIRST EIGHTEEN YEARS 13 THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM THE FIRST EIGHTEEN YEARS 14 LOOKING AHEAD As the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program begins to enter its 19th year, 43 comm~nlties will be participating and sharing the $3,327,000 in CDBG funds the Urban County Program will receive in fiscal year 1993 (Year XIX). With the Urban County Program moving into the next three-year pro- gram cycle, a new three-year Cooperation Agreement is being prepared for consideration by all eligible Hennepin County communities. While funding for the CDBG program has stabilized over the past few years and increased for Year ~(IX, the CDBG Program, like all other federal domestic programs, is sensitive to evolving federal budget priorities and concerns regarding the national debt. At present, President Clinton and his advisors, including HUD Secretary Cisneros, are urging Con- gress to seriously consider an economic stimulus package which would include an additional $2.5 billion in CDBG funding. These funds, how- ever, are likely to be subject to modified federal CDBG regulations in order to assist in ensuring that the funds would be spent before the end of calendar year 1994 to promote economic growth through the funding of community development projects providing employment and public infrastructure. Further, it is probable that the federal funding level for the CDBG Pro- gram in 1993 may establish a new base level of funding support to pro- vide a stable commitment of federal financial support to cities and coun- ties across the country as funding for other domestic programs is re- duced. Should this occur, the County in partnership with the Cooperat- ing Cities is prepared to undertake new CDBG initiatives to meet evolv- ing countywide community and housing development/redevelopment needs in a continuing partnership with Hennepin County communities and social service agencies. THE URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM THE FIRST EIGHTEEN YEARS 15 As in the past, we will be monitoring events in Washington, D.C. and the changes they may bring in terms of program requirements and available financial and programmatic resources to assist Hennepin County, the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program, and the partici- pating jurisdiction.~ to meet their housing and community development needs. At present, and for the foreseeable future, the outlook for the CDBG Program in general and the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program in particular, appears encouraging.
