BLVD,, LOTS 6, 7, ~t 7 9, ALIDITOR'S SUBD. //167. LOTS 1. 2 & 3,
GUILFORD'S REARR, OF MOUND BAY PARK, PID//14-117-24 44 0005, LOT
COVERAGE VARIANCE FOR ADDITION
The Planner explained that Our Lady of the Lake Church is proposing to construct an Activity
Center addition to the existing structure. Because of the church's proximity to Lake Langdon,
it is subject to the provisions of the Shoreland Ordinance which states that "impervious coverage
in lots in the business and industrial zones shall not exceed 30 percent of the lot area." If
business and industrial zones that are included within areas covered by an approved stormwater
management plan, impervious cover shall not exceed 75 percent of the total lot area. At this
time, Mound does not have a stormwater management plan in place. Presently, impervious
portions of the church site total 54.3%. With the addition the hard cover will rise to 57.4%.
The total amount of new hardcover is offset by removal of an existing building and removal of
an existing access drive and parking between the existing church and school. He reported that
positive features of the plan include replacement of driveway and parking lot drainage with
rooftop drainage.
The Planner reported that the Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the
variance request which results in a 3.1% increase in the total amount of impervious surface,
subject to the church obtaining required approvals and permits from Hennepin County. He
stated that the proposed church expansion represents a reasonable use of the property and given
the tight site conditions, reasonable efforts have been made to accommodate additional storm
water. When the City eventually adopts a stormwater management plan, the church, even with
the new expansion, will be well under the maximum threshold of 75 % impervious cover.
Councilmember Jensen stated that Planning Commissioner Johnson did not vote to approve this
item because Mound does not have a Stormwater Management Plan and therefore, the 75 % rule
would not be applicable in this situation.
Ahrens moved and Jensen seconded the following resolution:

CASE//93-061: BOYER BUILDING CORPORATION, 2820 TUXEDO
BLVD, (PELICAN POINT). PHELPS ISLAND PARK 1ST DIVISION,
PID #19-117-23 31 0003, SKETCH PLAN REVIEW
The Planner explained the that the Boyer Building Corporation would like to present a sketch
plan of a development for Pelican Point. Mr. John Blumentrit, Boyer Construction, explained
that the sketch plan includes 40 residential units, or 20 twin homes, with driveway access off
a 20 foot wide private road. They would gear this development toward the over-fifty age group
(empty nesters). The development would be maintained by an association. This would be an
upper bracket development. This development would be similar to the one off of County Road
19 and Timber Lane in Shorewood.
The Council expressed concerns about sewer and water and fire equipment access on the private
roads. The Council liked the idea that the island was left as it is. The Council agreed in
concept with the sketch plan because it has lower density and saves more trees and the
environment.
The Planner stated that it is up to the Developer now as to if they wish to proceed further. If
they do, applications will need to be tendered and then they will be back before the Planning
Commission and the Council.
Mr. Blumentrit stated that as they negotiate the final purchase, and before coming back before
the Commissions or Council, they would like to hold some sort of informal meeting with the
neighbors so they are aware of their intent for the property.
The Planner stated that the developer has a fair amount of work to do from this point until they
are ready to submit a preliminary application under the Planned Development Area (PDA).
The Planner estimated that with all the hearing requirements and other agency requirements, a
time frame of 4-6 months is a realistic timetable.
The Council thanked the developer.

Councilmember Jensen asked the an Item #7 be added to the proposed resolution:
Applicant sketch plans are attached hereto and made a part of this
resolution.
The City Attorney stated he feels there should be an Item #8 added also referring to the
shed that is to be removed prior to the issuance of a building permit. The applicant
asked that he not be required to remove the shed until after the garage is in place. He
stated he has money fled up in this building and would like to sell it after he has his
garage built so that the storage can be moved then. The Council agreed upon the
following wording for Item #8:
go
The shed shown on the survey will be removed by the applicant after
completion of the garage or by May 1, 1994.
The applicant agreed.
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.14 DISCUSSION: SECTION 350:760, SUBD. 4 TRUCK PARKING IN
RESIDENTIAL AREAS
The City Planner reported that this is a discussion item requested by the Council and no action
can be taken this evening. The Council asked Staff to look at Section 350:760, SUBD. 4 of the
I I1 I I ,, II, I I I,
January 11, 1994
City Code and compare Mound's standard to those commonly used in other communities. The
Planner explained that Zoning Ordinances are an attempt to segregate residential, commercial
and industrial uses. Parking in most residential zoning districts is limited to automobiles, pickup
trucks and recreational vehicles. Most types of trucks which are commonly associated with
commercial and industrial uses are excluded from residential areas. Section 350:760, Subd. 4,
reads as follows: "No motor vehicle over one (1) ton capacity bearing a commercial license and
no commercially licensed trailer shall be parked or stored in a platted residential district or a
public street except when loading, unloading, or rendering a service. Recreation vehicles and
pickups are not restricted by the terms of this provision.' The Planner speculated that this was
put in the code because of Mound's smaller lots and short front yard setbacks (20' in many
areas). Allowing commercial vehicles could, in some instances, cause a safety problem; an
appearance issue; and could have a value impact on properties. He gave a random sampling of
restrictions used in the following communities: Prior Lake, Falcon Heights, Shakopee, Hopkins,
Wayzata, and Maple Grove. He stated that some of the restrictions vary, but virtually all of
them prohibit commercially licensed vehicles in residential areas. He stated that the weight of
those vehicles and some of the terms that they use in describing the load of the vehicles does
vary. He stated that weight and loads need to be looked at closely so that you are comparing
apples to apples.
The Council discussed the fact that Mound's weight restriction limitation (1 ton) is on the low
end of the communities sampled. They discussed disruption of residential areas with certain
commercial vehicles; cottage industries; parking commercial vehicles in garages; the number of
warning tickets issued for this violation, etc.
The Council asked that this (Section 350:760, Subd. 4) be referred to the Planning Commission
for them to look at it as it is and asking for their input on ways to allow certain people who use
such vehicles to park or store them, with clarification on those terms, in residential areas. Also
the Council would like to have input from neighbors who would be affected by the change in
the ordinance.
7
The Mayor commented that one sentence in the report states, "The weight of allowed vehicles
varies from one ton to 12,000 pounds." He stated that really isn't true, because the weight of
a one ton pickup truck certainly exceeds 2,000 pounds, but it has to do with load capacity. All
the sample ordinances use different terminologies ie. rated capacity, gross vehicle weight, etc.
This needs to be clarified and understood. All the comparisons with other city's ordinances need
to be apples to apples.
The Council also suggested that the Planning Commission keep in mind how large motor homes
have gotten.
The Mayor pointed out that some of the commercial vehicles look better than some motor homes
that are parked next to homes.
7
8
January 11, 1994
The Council is looking for a way to allow some commercially licensed vehicles and some
vehicles used for business purposes to be parked or stored in residential areas, which is currently
prohibited by our ordinance. Is there a way to do this without having a negative impact on
safety, value and appearances within residential areas?
The City Manager stated that apparently the people who did get warnings have moved their
vehicles elsewhere.
The Planner stated this item could be on a Planning Commission Agenda within the next 30
days. The Council asked that this item be back to the Council by the second meeting in April.
Tim Miller, 3149 Inverness Road stated he would be willing to contact some other owners of
commercial vehicles and give input to the Planning Commission. The Council thought this was
a good idea.
1.15 DISCUSSION: TIME LIMITS ON BUILDING COMPLETIONS
The Planner stated this item also can be discussed and should be referred back to the Planning
Commission for their review. He explained that there are a variety of ways to approach this:
Ordinance provisions enacted controlling the time allowed for completion of the
exterior of a building;
Ordinance provisions requiring total building completion within specified time
limits; and
UBC provisions which allow construction to continue indefinitely provided that
the work is not abandoned for a continuous period exceeding 180 days.
He stated that presently Mound uses the UBC provisions. He suggested that the following be
considered by the Planning Commission:
Should such an ordinance apply only to the exterior finish of a building or should
it regulate total completion?
Should such provisions apply to all types of structures including residential,
commercial and industrial buildings as well as accessory structures?
How much time should be allows for building completion?
The Building Official stated that his experience with problems in other communities has been
with residential only, and he feels that 1 year is enough time to get an exterior completed. He
stated that Oakdale has a provision allowing the person to appeal to the City Council if they
disagree with the Building Official.
9
lanuary 11, 1994
The Building Official explained that presently using the UBC provisions of 180 days, it is very
difficult to enforce because the exterior of the building would have to be in very bad shape and
then the hazardous building ordinance would come into play. He stated that the exterior is the
thing he is most concerned about because it affects the neighbors. The Council agreed that the
exterior of residential is the most important.
This item was referred to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendations.
1.16 BID AWARD: WATER METER READING EQUIPMENT
The Mayor stated that due to the fact that the two respondents to the bid are companies that he
does business with, he removed himself from the Council and the Council Chambers for this
item. Acting Mayor Liz Jensen took over.
The City Manager stated that this bid was for a new water meter reading system that would
electronically receive and input data utilizing the City of Mound's utility billing system. It was
specified in the bids that the system must be capable of being upgraded to a radio read and/or
phone read system. The system was to be a turn-key operation consisting of: meters, remotes,
data collection devices and software and installation services.
The following two bids were received:
1. Northern Water Works
Meters Data Collection Installation/ Grand Total
Devices & Software Training
$209,440 $10,750 $118,240/ $ 338,430
included
2. Water Pro

Devices & Software Training
$214,400 $13,200 $112,000/ $ 339,600
included
5

i0
January 11, 1994
There was a $1,170 difference between the bids with Northern Water Works being the low
bidder. The Staff has been analyzing each of the bids to make sum that they met specifications.
Because the bids were so close, Staff wanted to make sum that both bidders bid the same type
of equipment, so that the comparison was accurate. Since the bid opening, both companies have
supplied additional information and clarification as to what exactly they bid on this system.
The City Manager stated that even though both companies can supply equipment that meet the
overall specification for the project, in examining the bids, Staff has determined the following:
Northern Water Works bid a hand-held device that was not the latest
technological device available from Schlumberger. The cost of the latest hand-
held device would be $1,000 and since we required two the total cost would be
$2,000 more than the bid price. Since the bid Northern has stated they would
furnish the latest hand-held devices at no extra cost. Allowing a bidder to come
in after the bid opening and offer an alternative device would be inappropriate.
The specification did not specifically say "latest technological device", but each
firm was aware that Mound was looking for the most advanced unit available.
The experience level of Northern Water Works is somewhat questionable as it
relates to equipment installation and computer software. After contacting several
of the communities Northern listed, it was found that several had purchased
Schlumberger equipment through Northern but did not actually have them
installed by Northern or their subcontractor, Water Services. Some of the
communities advised that they had Water Services do installations for them but
the ones contacted stated they were not Schlumberger equipment that was
installed. There is also the question of proper interfacing with the City's utility
billing system and Northern's water meter reading equipment.
Based on the above, the Staff recommendation is to award the bid to Water Pro based upon the
analysis of the two systems.
The Manager stated them are two options to consider at this point:
Award the bid; or
Reject all bids and m-advertise.
The City Attorney pointed out that the City cannot abide by post bid opening modification
offered by Northern. That, along with computer interface would be a basis for awarding the
bid the higher bidder.
10
January 11, 1994
Bob Morgan, Northern Water Works, addressed the bid process. He stated that the bid
specifications were written very well and that their bid met the specifications as written. He
explained that they can interface with the City's computer system. He stated by awarding the
bid to Water Pro, it would be defeating the purpose of the bid process which is to get the lowest
bid possible. He further stated that the bid specifications did not specify "latest technological
device", and that is why the other device was bid.
John Selvog, Northern Water Works, addressed the Council. He elaborated on Mr. Morgan's
comments.
The City Attorney asked if the City made it clear to both companies that they were looking for
the most advanced unit available? Mr. Selvog, Northern Water Works, stated that they met the
bid specifications.
There was discussion on the installation process.
Todd Bredeson, Water Pro, addressed the Council and stated that they were aware that the City
wanted the "latest technological device". He gave examples of other installations that have been
done. He further stated they have done 4 installations in the last year and one half and the
competition has done none.
The City Attorney suggested that the Staff confer on this matter. There was a break in the
meeting.
The City Manager reported that the Staff has met and has determined that because of the
conflicting position with the specification as it relates to the hand-held unit and also to the
uncertainty of the interface with the City's computer system, that the recommendation is to reject
all bids and readvertise. A revised specification will be done.
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Jessen to reject all bids and readvertise for
the water meter reading equipment. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.
The Mayor returned and again presided over the meeting.
1.17 SET PUBLIC HEARING
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Jessen to set February 8, 1994, for a public
hearing to consider the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a commercial
parking lot in the B-1 Central Business District at 5533 Shoreline Drive. The vote
was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.

the Recycling Program. This will enable us to get reimbursement from the County.
The Council briefly discussed the City Wide recycling program that is held in the Spring & Fall.

ADD-ONS
1.20 CHANGE IN CORPORATE FORM - HEADLINERS BAR & GRILL
The City Clerk reported that a letter has been received from Headliners Bar & Grill, stating and
requesting the following:
e
Mark Saliterman has acquired all remaining stock in Headliners;
Bill Feehan's position has been eliminated, as Bill is pursuing other career
interests;
All licenses related to Headliners, including the liquor license, have only Mark
Saliterman's name on them.
The City Clerk further explained that this notification is in accordance with the City's liquor
ordinance. Mr. Saliterman is in the process of hiring a new Manager and that Manager will be
submitting the Personal Information required by Section 800:10, Subd. 2, b. of the City Code
for review and approval by the City.
12
January 11, 1994
MOTION made by Johnson, seconded by Jensen to accept the change in corporate
form for Headliners Bar & Grill in accordance with Section 800:35, Subd. 2 & 3 of
the City Code, and removing Mr. Bill Feehan's name from all licenses that have
been issued by the City of Mound. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.
1.21 LICENSES & PERMITS
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Jensen to authorize the issuance of a
Temporary On-Sale Nonintoxicating Malt Liquor Permit to Our Lady of the Lake
Church for Las Vegas Night to be held February 5, 1994. The vote was
unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.22 Jessen moved and Ahrens seconded the following resolution:
