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: 4 5 January 11, 1994 RESOLUTION//94-9 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AN IMPERVIOUS SURFACE COVERAGE VARIANCE TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION AT 2385 COMMERCE BLVD. (OUR LADY OF THE LAKE CHURCH), LOTS 6, 7, 8, 9, AND 10, AUDITOR'S SUBD.//167, AND LOTS 1, 2, AND 3, GUILFORD'S REARRANGEMENT OF MOUND BAY PARK, PID //14-117-24 44 0005, P & Z CASE//93-059 The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. 1.12 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. 5 5 January 11, 1994 1.13 CASE //94-002: DON & TERRY BONNICKSEN, 2156 CENTERVIEW LANE, LOTS 8 & 31, BLOCK 7, ABRAHAM LINCOLN ADDITION TO LAKESIDE PARK, PID #13-117-24 31 0052, VARIANCE FOR GARAGE The Building Official explained the request. The Planning Commission recommended approval. Ahrens moved and Jensen seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION//94-10 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A VARIANCE TO RECOGNIZE A NONCONFORMING FRONT YARD SETBACK TO THE PRINCIPAL DWELLING TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A DETACHED GARAGE AND AN ADDITION TO THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE AT 2156 CENTERVIEW LANE, LOTS 9 & 31, BLOCK 7, ABRAHAM LINCOLN ADDITION TO LAKESIDE PARK, PID #13-117-24 31 0052, P & Z CASE//94-02 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 Meters Data Collection Installation/ Grand Total Devices & Software Training $214,400 $13,200 $112,000/ $ 339,600 included 5 9 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. 11 12 January 11, 1994 1.18 RECYCLING GRANT APPLICATION The City Manager explained that this is to assure that we will continue with our program with Hennepin County, the Budget of $1.75 per household, and list out the costs that are affected by 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. Jensen moved and Jessen seconded the following resolution: RESOLUTION #94-11 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SUBMITTAL OF THE 1994 MUNICIPAL RECYCLING GRANT APPLICATION TO HENNEPIN COUNTY The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. The Council stated they are glad to see that the City may be adding fluorescent tubes to the recycling program. 1.19 PAYMENT OF BILLS MOTION made by Jensen, seconded by Johnson to authorize the payment of bills as presented on the pre-list in the amount of $201,975.87, when funds are available. A roll call vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried. 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: RESOLUTION//94-12 RESOLUTION APPROVING A GAMBLING PERMIT APPLICATION FOR OUR LADY OF THE LAKE CHURCH - 2-5-94 The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carded. The Mayor asked that the City Attorney look at Section 800:30, Subd. 1, (a), which refers to a municipal on-sale liquor dispensary. Since the City does not have one it probably should be amended deleting this part. The Staff will handle and bring it back to the Council for approval. 1.23 UNION CONTRACT - PUBLIC WORKS The City Manager explained that the City has been negotiating with the Teamsters Local 320 Public Works Unit, Local 320 Police/Patrol Unit and the LELS Unit since this past Fall. He further explained that we have reached a tentative agreement with the Public Works Unit. He submitted a memorandum outlining the recommended changes in the Union Contract which consist of the following: ARTICLE VI. EMPLOYEE RIGHTS - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE 6.4 STEP 3.
