August 21, 1980 Mayor Tim Lovaasen City Hall 5344 Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 RE: Grandview Area Street Improvement Dear Mr. Lovaasen: The residents.of the Grandview area feel that we can no longer remain quiet about our road situation. Since road construction has started, we have all been inconvenienced with the normal mess of construction. Most of us have felt we needed~the improvement and have remained silent until now. However, at this point, our roads have been left in such a deplorable condition with construction at a stand still, some action must be taken. We have heard through the grape vine that construction has come to a halt for three weeks because of differences between graders~and concrete. workers. This leaves us with driveways suspended two to three feet above-' construction grade level. This makes it nearly impossible to drive our cars into our driveways without getting stuck. Workers ~ave been . ~.~ - ~ asked to improve driveway entrances to enable us to drive in and out without getting stuck and have refused to fix them. The recent rains have left the roads nearly impossible to travel. Cars have been sliding off roads and stuck left and right. Housewives are afraid to venture out of their homes without getting their cars stuck. We want to receive a completion date and to see construction resumed. immediately. We expect to hear from you regarding this matter before August 28, 1980- Sincerely, Mrs. J.W. Edwards 5917 Sunset Road Mound, MN 55364 Residents: , I CITY OF HOUND Moun~, Minnesota August 2l, 1980 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NO. 80-71 SUBJECT: Fire Insurance Rating Change The Insurance Services Office has reported to the Mayor that the City's fire insurance rating has improved from Class 6 to Class 5 (see copy attached). Please note this will not change the rates paid by residential prop- erties. cc: R. Shanley R. Cheney INSU i NCE SERVICES OF ~INNESOTA FFICE 12 SO. SIXTH ST.. ROOM 1229. MINNEAPOLIS.

WRIGHT, MANAGER August 18, 1980 Honorable Tim Lovaasen Municipal Building 5341Maywood Road Mound, MN 55364 Dear Mayor Lovaasen: We wish to thank you, Robert Shanley, Robert Cheney and others for the cooperat- ion given to our representatives during our recent survey. We have completed our evaluation of the fire insurance classification for your city and advise that the protection class has improved to 5. Formerly Class 6 applied; the new classification will result in a decrease in the fire insurance rates for many insured commercial properties within the city. The new rates will be effective on September 1, 1980. The purpose of our visit was to gather information needed to determine a fire insurance classification which may be used to develop fire insurance rates. This survey was not conducted for property loss prevention or life safety purposes and no life safety or property loss prevention recommendations will be made. The change from 6 to 5 does not affect rates for sprinklered properties or resid- ~n--tiR~ occupancies--f~'§~r~a ~' ~om~{~-~-~0~i~ies a~d Some .~'~d'~--~ed-~'rop&~k~. The change-will affect typical mercantile properties to a ~gree ~-e~-e-~ng upon the type of building construction, the hazard of occupancy and other rating factors. The overall effect is usually about 3% for wood frame buildings, 5% for masonry buildings and 2% for fire-resistive build- ings. However, variations in construction, occupancy and private protection can result in increases or decreases from this average. The above estimates apply only for insurance companies using ISO rates. However, numerous insurance companies use other than ISO rates so that the effect of the change in class may be different for their policy holders. Large individual commercial properties with needed fire flows greater than 3500 gpm were not considered in developing this new public protection classification. The private and public protection at such properties are individually evaluated, and may vary from the city classification. Hgnorable Tim Lovaasen -2- August ~9] 1980 We are attaching a copy of our Grading §beet and the results o£ the hydrant flow tests witnessed during our survey. Extra copies of this letter and attachments are also enclosed so that you may distribute them to other interested parties, if you desire to do so. If you have any questions concerning the new classification, or the reSulting change in fire insurance rates, please let us know. rhl: prow gnc. Very truly yours, Ralph H.

CITY OF MOUND Mound, Minnesota August 21, 1980 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NO. 80-72 SUBJECT: Commons Cleanup The Council asked for a report on the Commons Cleanup after Mr. A1 Quist appeared at the August 20th meeting. We have asked the Dock Inspector for a report and a copy of the report is attached. lZeonard L. Kopp ' ' 5~41 k~&YWOQD MOUND. MINNE(~O~/,, t6121 472- 1~, L August 20, 1980 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Leonard Kopp Dock Inspector Condemned Notices to Island View Drive Residences. While checking the docks and commons on Island View Drive last week I found 8 abutting property owners along Devon commons who have abused the commons area. I issued notices to all eight of these people. As Ordinance 332 states in Sect- ion 26.9304, Subdivision 8, these people have 10 days to comply. Our procedure for notifying these people is to staple a condemned notice on dock and also sending a certified letter to the permit holder. Sometimes I'm able to find the people home and we discuss the problems verbally.at that time and then I also send a written notice to them. Anytime someone calls and asks for more time it is always granted. We haven't been inforcing the 10 day limit, but allowing as much time as is necessary to clean up the problems. At 4909 Island View Drive, A1 Quist has taken the property in trade and is living there. Mr. Quist hms added to a retaining wall,on commons and also fixed up the stairway on the commons. Ail the old steps and risers from the stairway are laying on the commons, also couple of brush piles, tires and a steel mooring aparatum. I pointed these things out to Mr. Quist and he said he had inherited most of this mess, except the scraps from stairway and would not have time to clean it up in ten days. I told him the ten days was not binding and would be extended for him. I advised him he should have gotten a permit before he did any work on.-the wall and stairs. I sent him an application for a maintenance permit for other work he wants to do on the commons. Respectfully,_.

Kopp / CITY OF MOUND SUMMER PLAYGROUND PROGRAM 1980 This summer the Playground Program met on Monday through Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 for eight weeks (June 9th through July 31st). This was the same basic programming plan as was used last year except we used Highland, Tyrone and Clover Circle, substituting Clover Circle for Three Points Park. Apparently there is a need for programming in that area because attendance was consistantly good with almost forty children signing up the first week. Un- fortunately, programming was discontinued there the last three weeks due to park and area construction. One other problem confronted at Clover Circle was that the only beach close by is private. I contacted Mr. Waters ( who is in charge of the area) and he said we could use the beach as long as the children stayed out of the neighbors' yards. The beach and dock were, however, in need of cleaning and repair. The total sign-up of children for the Playground Program came to over 100. Different children would come to the parks with between four and thirty five coming each night. Our weekly totals ranged from 74 to 229. We were only rained out one evening this year which was a considerable improvement over last year. Attendance remained constant at Clover Circle and at Tyrone, but ther~was a drop in numbers attending Highland which I can't account for. (Please refer to.attendance sheet attached to back.) As in the past, programming was based on weekly themes. They were: Week 1 - "Cet Acquainted Week" 2 - "Nature Week" ~ - "Ail Star Sports Week" 4 - "Indian Week" 5 - "Animal Week" 6 - "Super Summer ~Week" 7 - "Theater We~k" 8 - 'Hater Carnival Week" Special events included a track meet at the Highschool, going to the mens' soccer SUMMER PLAYGROUND PROGR~3~ 1980 Page 2 game, the movie "Son of Flubber" ~hown at the Highsch001 little a water carnival at the Highschool pool. Transpertation and use of the school facilities was again provided by Community Services~for Just 'over their cost. (NOTE on transpertation - - Don Ulrich mentioned to me that there might be some changes in insurance next year that may affect our transportation, or transpor- tation costs, especially if trips are planned that go out of the school district.) Holding the program in the evening caused some problems again this year that made me wonder if morning or evening programming shouldn't be considered for next year. These problems were: - The bugs in the parks get real bad after 8:00 or 8:30. - Many good special event opportunities are only available during the day. - Some parents have complained to me that their children are too young to be out until 9:00. - Many families have outings together in the evenings. - I had a difficult time finding workers this year. I think this is partially caused by the hours. I checked with Don to see what was being offered for elementary school-aged children in the mornings' and afternoons through Community Services. Approximately 1/3 of that age group in the Westonka school district attend morning summer school, and swimming lessons are offered in the afternoons. Heat and heavy beach use might also pose problems in the afternoon. I am not proposing an answer, I just thought that the Park Commission should be aware of these facts. Last of all, I will make note of some things I see as needs for the program. #1) We really need two picnic tables at each park. It is almost impossible to get twenty children around one table to work on a craft. 2) Some sort of storage area at each park site is important. The park supervisor is given supplies at the beginning of the season. At Clover Circle and Highland, where there is no storage, the supervisors had to haul these supplies back and forth every day. If the supervisor was sick, the rest of the staff didn't have any supplies to work With. 3) It would be nice if there was water on site. The children often get very hot playing games. We have used 1 gallon Jugs, but they don't go far on hot days.

We had over 100 childre~between the a~s of five and twelve~ sign up. We divided them into six teams, t~ree teams of 5 - 8 year olds, and three teams of 9 - 12 year olds. We had volunteer coaches so we were able to offer the program for $2.00 per child. The soccer program lasted for eight weeks (June 17 through August 7). Each team practiced on Tuesday and Thursday evenings unless they had a game. Each team played six games against the other teams. Ail games were played on the Highschool soccer fields. The problems I encountered setting up this program were the following: - There wasn't enough information in the Community Services booklet and Ispent a tremendous amount of time on the phone. - The people signed up so late. Most of the people didn't sign up until one to three weeks after registration was supposed to have closed. That made it difficult to organize teams. - We had to abandon the theme of "neighborhood soccer" because there weren't enough children signing up in the different areas to make teams. - There were problems finding parent coaches. Most people who were interested said they didn't know enough about soccer to coach. - A lot of people signed up who were outside of the Mound area yet who were still in the Westonka School District. They wanted the program out in their areas even though their municipalities wouldn't help sponsor it. In spite of these problems, the program was finally organiZed after a lot of phone work by me (w~ksome mothers% After the initial organization and coaches* meeting, things went much more smoothly.

One item requires Council action since Item 1 has already been by the Council. Item II Setback Variance - Garages Block 8, Wychwood The Planning Commission recommended a setback variance so the garages would be 6 feet from the lot line, but would be 20 feet from the curb. The Administration feels this would start a trend and should be examined closely. MINUTES OF THE D ADVISORY PLANNING COMMIS August 11, 1980 MEETING Present: Chairman Russell Peterson; Commlssloners Margaret Hanson, Steve Dorns- bach, Gerald Smith and George Stannard; and Secretary Marjorie Stutsman. MINUTES 'The minutes of the July 28, 1980 Planning Commission meeting were presented for consideration. Paulsen moved and Dornsbach seconded a motion to accept the minutes as presented. The vote was unanimously in favor. BOARD OF APPEALS 1. Subdivision of Land Lots 13-17, Incl., Block 4, Minnesota Baptist Summer Assembly Hanson moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to concur with the Counci'l's action and ratify the division of land into two parcels. The vote was all in favor except for Stannard who abstained. e Garage Setback Variance Block 8, Wychwood - Cumberland Road Mike Johnson-4627 Manchester Road and Dale Reimer-4639 Manchester Road and the other property owners in this block were present. Stannard moved and Hanson seconded a motion to approve the variances for garage setback 20 feet from curb line rather than 20 feet from property line; motion stated this way only because of the construction of roadway- if road could be reconstructed, rather have this than allow variance. The vote was all in favor except Smith voted nay. Reason: Doesn't seem grade is correct; City should bear hardship rather than property owners in Block 8. DISCUSSION OF ZONING ORDINANCE Lou Oberdeck commented that 1) on Page 34 Item 3 Sideyard Setbacks not correct; and 2) on Page 59 Section 703 on Refuse, does not read properly. "Rock" Lindlan had a number of comments on the proposed zoning ordinance: Permitted uses in B-2 unreasonable; allow animal hospital and auction hall, but require conditional use permit for cultural and fraternal institutions and for parking lots. Same allowed in B-1. Feel B-2 uses need overhaul. Item 4 Section 630.5 - 1OO feet minimum back from side/rear residential area for B-2; while only 50 feet minimum requirement next to industrial. Example - Surfside could not be rebuilt under this zoning requirement. Lindlan thinks allowing former use should be grandfathered in. Item 3 Section 630.5 - Setback requirements would put commercial building in center of lot; this not practical in B-2. -' Item 2 Section 630.5 - 30,O00 square feet minimum lot area for commercial lots in Mound not a viable requirement. Item 7 Section 630.5 - Minimum lot width of 1OO feet needs interpretation; isn't appropriate. ' Planning Commission Minutes August 11, 1980 ~ le 2 Question - Can the sideyard setback on 100 foot lot be a parking lot? Rather have a quiet building against my lot than a busy parkin~ lot, 6. Thinks it is important to consider existing uses and to grandfather such uses into ordinance. Section 635.2 under Permitted Uses in B-3: No sense including in B-3 when there are "None" uses allowed. Should be included in B-2 as further item. Also there is no limitation in Neighborhood Business on size of stores allowed - thinks should be limited to 10,OOO square feet or less. 8. Section 640.4 Item 6: Sideyard setback 50 feet next to R'District - out of balance to B-2 100 foot sideyard. 9. Section 650.12 - Who is "Board of Adjustment"? 10. Lindlan stated that if the Zoning Map is adopted as a basis for wetlands ordinance, there will be 26 or more properties that will be declared un- buildable or doubtful sites because they are in shaded areas - where actually these properties are high and dry. (Include former Frank Majors property, Sherwood Drive area, etc.) Bedell stated sole purpose of Federal flood plain map was to spell out areas where flood insurance would be required on homes financed by FHA and VA loans. Bedell thought adopting this map would make 55 to 60% of homes in Mound non- conforming; values of homes would be affected; might even be unsaleable; map bears closer look at what is being done to specific properties by ordinance. Ron Gehring questioned why 2 maps made a part of ordinance; flood plain map should be sufficient; wetlands map should be dispensed with' altogether. Roy O'Donnell questioned "why commercial properties downgraded? allowed less uses? why restrict property rights? and why necessary to allow no basement within 3 feet of high water mark?" Thought it a waste of money to have com- mercial redone. With 10,OO0 square feet minimum for B-l, there would not be more than 4 or 5 parcels in downtown Mound that meet requirements. And on lake front lots, the 75 foot lake front setback and 30 foot street front set- back would almost eliminate rebuilding on most lots. Grandfather clause should be included in ordinance. Also mentioned was the 60 days for processing a building permit. Mortgage commitments are good only for 60 days and house must be up in that time. Council Representative Polston arrived. Lindlan objected to Mr. Pflug being required to bring his building rentals in for special use permits; also thought it used too much Council time. Feels ordinance should get away from Conditional Use/Special Use Permits. Also stated Ms. Dee, Inc. was overbuilt; too large for lot size; but should not have to have a Conditional Use Permit. A mai-function of government Bob Johnson questioned his property near Lake Langdon being changed from in- dustrlal to residential? and also showing as being in wetlands area? Feels his property will lose its value and that will be hardship to him for which he should get some relief. Discussed - Land not zoned residential; B-I. Discussed having Staff available at next meeting so the above questions and comments could be answered. Planning Commission utes August 11, 1980 - ge 3 Subdivision of Land Lots 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 and the Southerly 56.6 feet of Lots 17, 18 and 19, Block 6, Pembroke Ron Gehring was present. The Planning Commission decided to take this item up at the regular Board of Appeals on August 25th in order that they can look at property prior to taking action. Smith moved and Paulsen seconded a motion to adjourn. A1 in favor, so adjourned. Attest: August 5, 1980 rE~2) TO: FROM: SUBJECT: The Planning Commission The City Manager Garage Setback Variance When the roadway was constructed for Cumberland Road, the road was curved to the north. The dwellings on the south that face Manchester want to build garages on Cumberland; but because of the contour, they can only be 6 feet from the lot line, but will be 20 feet from the curb. A variance to the setback ordinance is requested so they can build thei'r garages. LLK/ms Encl. '11 0 Ls ~z..4.)

Since there maybe a doubt whether some of the vacations were made by petition, the Attorney suggested the Council reaffirm the vacations when at least a 4/5 vote can be raised. The three resolutions were: 1. Resolution 80-294 Vacating Brunswick Road from Essex Lane to Westerly Line of Lot 24, Block 13, Wychwood. 2. Resolution 80-295 Vacating.Dorchester Road frdm Essex Lane to Westerly Line of Lot 28, Block 11, Wychwood 3. Resolution 80-296 Vacating Devon Lane from Carrick Road to Long- ford Road.

The proposed N.S.P. rate increase of 12 2/3% which increases street lighting charges by more than 12%. 2. The possibility of investigating rates charged by the Metropolitan Waste Control. 3. Amending the Joint Powers contract to allow investigation of Metro- politan Waste Control rates. The NSP rate increase will be heard at various places and a list of hearing places and dates are listed. The Council should decide if they should take any action. The Metro Waste information is brought about by the continuing cost in- crease associated with Waste Water Treatment and the added costs associated with increasingly higher standards imposed by other governmental agencies. In order to investigate Waste Control rates, an amendment is required to the Joint Powers contract. A copy of a revised Joint Powers Agreement and a proposed resolution is attached. Passage of the resolution is recommended. -Eeonard I. Kopp CLAYTON L. LsFEVERE HERBERT P. LE~LER CURTIS A. PEARSON J. DENNIS O' SRIEN JOHN E, DRAWZ DAVID J. KENNEDY JOHN B.

SCHIEFFER August 7, 1980 Dear Municipal Administrator: This letter is being sent at the request of the SUburban Rate Authority Board of Directors. It involves several matters which they believe will be of par- ticular interest to you. First, your special attention is-_~invited to the NSP electric rate -~iling which is discussed in the enclosed SRA Board minutes for July 16,' 1980. As you will see, the company has filed -~/3 percent overall rate increase, but this increase will not be uniform c ~ses of ~s ]us npany as equalize the rates of return among the various classes of customers. The SRA Board has authorized a contest of some aspects of NSP's rate filing. However, it does not feel that it should resist this shift in the revenue burden (after the total authorized revenues of the company are determined). If the SRA were to undertake such an effort and were successful it would only cast a greater share of the revenue burden upon residential, commercial and industrial electric ratepayers within the member municipali- ties. This would put the municipality (as an electric customer) at odds with the other electric consumers in member communities. However, the SRA Board felt that individual municipalities might wish to express their own viewpoints about the proposed equaliza- tion of rates of return among classes of customers. The Board wanted you to be alerted to this question so that you may take whatever action you deem appropriate. One way of making your position known, if you should-choose to do so, would be by appear- ing at the general hearings which the Public Utilities Commission / ??o LEFEV LAW OFFICES · LEFLER. PEARSON, O'BRIEN & DRAWZ August 7, 1980 Page 2 will hold on NSP's rate filing.

LEFLER, PEARSON, O'BRIEN & DRAWZ August 7, 1980 Page 3 Over the last several years, the SRA Board, has, from time to time, talked about the need for municipal involvement in the programs of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission ("MWCC"). It is clear that the SRA does not have the financial resources or expertise which would be necessary to conduct a detailed review of the capital and operating budgets of the MWCC. On the basis of information which has been presented to the SRA Board by the chairman and the chief planning officer of the Metropolitan Council, it appears that the Metropolitan Council does not presently have the staffing necessary for a complete review of MWCC capital and operating budgets either. (The Metro- politan Council does have authority to appoint the members of the MWCC. It also issues bonds on behalf of the MWCC and it reviews and approves of MWCC's capital budgets.) Recently, there have been hearings conducted by a hearing exami- ner in behalf of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on the question of what advanced sewage treatment facilities (tertiary treatment) should be required to be constructed by the MWCC. The United States Environmental Protection Agency and others have strongly advocated additional facilities costing between $700 million and $1 billion. If such facilities are required to be constructed, it will, of course, be necessary to make a substan- tial increases in the rates MWCC charges metropolitan area com- munities. Spokesmen for both the MWCC and the Metropolitan Council have expressed disappointment at the fact that there was not more testimony from municipalities during the hearings. This has led the Board of Directors of the SRA to believe that the SRA should be permitted to involve itself in MWCC rate-related issues - even if that involvement is on an occasional and highly selective basis. The Joint and Cooperative Agreement which provides for the Subur- ban Rate Authority does not now authorize SRA participation in any issues involving the MWCC. At its July 16, 1980 meeting, the Board of Directors of the SRA voted unanimously to recommend to SRA member communities that they authorize an amendment to the Joint and Cooperative Agreement so that the SRA can involve itself in MWCC matters to the extent that the Board may from time to time authorize such involvement. We are therefore enclosing a copy of an Amended Joint and Coopera- tive Agreement for the SRA. The changes in the agreement are underscored. They appear on pages 2, 11 and 12 of the agreement. We are also enclosing a copy of a resolution, for consideration by your city council, which would authorize the execution of the . LEFLER. PEARSON. O'BRIEN & DRAWZ August 7, 1980 Page 4 Amended Joint and Cooperative Agreement by your community. One of the enclosed copies of the Amended Joint and Cooperative Agree- ment and a certified copy of the authorizing resolution should be signed by the appropriate officers of your community and returned to us in the enclosed self-addressed envelope. It is recognized that if the amendment to the Joint and Coopera- tive Agreement is adopted by SRA's members, there is a risk that the Suburban Rate Authority will be expected to provide a much more thoroughgoing review and investigation of MWCC activities than the SRA, with its limited resources, can provide. It will only be possible for the SRA to involve itself from time to time on MWCC matters on a very limited and selective basis. However, it may wish to act as a focal point for information about such things as PSC hearings and major capital programs of the MWCC. Under certain circumstances, the SRA Board may wish the SRA to assist in organizing the presentation of testimony about MWCC programs before such organizations as the PSC or the Legislature or the Metropolitan Council. The minutes of the April 16 and the July 16, 1980 Board meetings of the SRA are also enclosed because they provide further, more detailed background information about the two issues which are the subjects of this letter. If you should have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to give me a call. Very truly yours, CLL:jpf Enclosures Clayton L.

S. Bureau of the Census 250 South 4th Minneapolis, MN. 55401 Subject: Preliminary Census Count for Mound Dear Ms. Page: As discussed with you on the phone, we feel the preliminary census count of 1980 is low. The Metro Council estimate of 9,990 may be a little high, but does not appear to be too much out of line. It is our feeling that the 5% vacancy rate of 170 dwellings is high. The clerk handling the rent subsidy program had the feeling that there were about 10 or 12 vacant apartment units on April 1st. We do know there are 12 summer homes in Mound and there were some other homes vacant, but we don't feel it totaled 170. We have no way of determining the exact number of vacant homes, but ask that in your rechecking, these be closely watched. As you pointed out on the phone, the present count will change as you proceed and we greatly appreciate the efforts you have made in assuring Mound gets a correct count. Sincerely, "Leonard L. Kopp City Manager LLK/ms / league of minnesota oities August 8, 1980 TO: Mayors, Managers and Clerks FROM: Louise Kuderling ~', RE: Local Government Local Government Day will be Tuesday, October 21, 1980. This day has been selected to recognize the importance of city government in our way of life and to focus on the diversity of services provided for our citizens. Although one day has been chosen as a focal point, any time during the week, or even the previous weekend, can be used for various events to celebrate the day. You can start now with preliminary planning. There are a number of activities to consider. Perhaps your first step would be to appoint a Local Government Day Committee. Another early act could be the adoption of a council resolution in recognition of the Day. If you have a new building, park, or development area to dedicate, the ceremony can be planned for Local Government Day or sometime that week. You can have an Open House, a tour of city facilities, a demonstration or display of new equipment, and many other ideas that your committee can come up with, tailored to your community. Other general ideas are to swap mayors with a nearby rival city; have high school students act as "council for a day"; encourage service clubs to arrange programs that week on city progress or plans for the future; have a luncheon to recognize long-time city employees, to name a few. Publicity and cooperation of the news media will be central to the success of the undertaking. You will want to arrange for coverage of Local Government Day activities in your area. Also, you will want to develop banners, posters, flyers and other materials to call attention to the Day. No one city needs to do everything suggested here but it should be possible to find some way to observe the Day. The League will follow up this initial notice in a couple of weeks with more detailed suggestions and aids for preparing publicity materials. If you have any questions or suggestions, please call the League office.
