CARROLL & PEARSON august: 26, 1~81 Mr. Greg Skinner Mound Water Department City of Mound 5341 Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Re: Water Connection Dear Greg:_ This will acknowledge that you have called me several times con- cerning the piece of property in Auditor's Subdivision 168. It is my understanding that one property contained two living units (two separate ~single family residences). It is my further under- standing that these two lots had beem under one property ~wnership and that both lots were assessed for sanitary sewer but only one lot was assessed for water. We understand that both lots were then sold ,under a contract for deed to Noel. M. Wittig, 6201 St. Croix Trail ~orth, 2118, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082. The City records reveal that in 1967 there were two parcels of record under one owne~phip, but now we have two parcels with different ownership. The water service off of Beachwood Road runs to the front house which was on the lot which was never assessed for water. The water meter is located in the first house. The first house was owned by Brad Hulls±ck who apparently has sold it on another contract for deed to Jay Peterson at 5930 Beachwood Road, Mound. T~e second unit, which obtains its water through the Peterson property, has now been sold on a contract for deed to Julie Ranfranz of 5932 Beachwood Road. There is some indication that the two property owners are having difficulty in agreeing on the payment of the water bill since all of their water is going through one meter. You and I have discussed Section 6.16, Subd. g of the City Code which reads as follows: "Every separate building and each unit in a duplex, double bungalow or townhouse supplied with water must have its own service connection directly with the mains and each unit must be provided with a shut- off and drip valve in the cellar from an independent riser pipe. These provisions shall' apply to all new construction and for any units which connect to the ~ EXHIBIT A Mr. Greg Skinner Page 2 August 24, 1981 City's water mains hereafter; existing units which do not have separate services as of the effective date of this ordinance and which are now connected to the City's mains are excepted from these provisions except as set forth below. Two or more adjacent buildings owned by the same person shall'be supplied throng~Ithe same con- nection only so' l°ng as 'the single ownership continues and provided t'hat the owner asrees to.Ray 'all charge~ for water consumed on"the entire premises. Upon the teI-miinationI iof ~"UghI.single-o~rf~ers~i~., a separate' cOnnec- tion shall be made immediately to the bui~di'ng 0r .premises thereto'fo~'h~vln$ the indirect connection, provided thai in case there"l~' no water main on any street on which said ~premis~s abut, the Superintendent may permit such connec- tion to remain until the water main is laid in such abutting street." Please note that everY separate building is required to have its own service connection. Also note that the ordinance provider that two or more adjacent buildings owned by the same person could be supplied through the same connection, so the situation was okay in 1967. The. ordinance then goes on to indicate that that situation is acceptable only 'sb long as single ownership continues and provided that the owner, agrees to pay all charges for water consumed on the entire premises. The ordinance is specific that upon termination of that singl'e ownership a new connection and a new meter is necessary and of course the second water assessment will have to be allocated. I have contacted Mr. Jim MacKinnon, an attorney in Excelsior, who represented Mr. Hullsick. I have been unable to reach Mr. Hullsick, so I am therefore sending a copy of this letter to Jay Peterson, Julie E. Ranfranz, Jim MacKinnon and Noel M. Wittig. It is my opinion that under the terms of the ordinance a separate service connectiOh is necessary. The manner of paying for that connection and the new meter is one that will have to be resolved by the parties. If they do not do that, your only choice is to turn off the water until the matter is resolved and until any delinquincies are paid. It is my hope that the parties-can get together and sit down with you to determine who has the financial responsibility to make the second connection and to pay the additional water assessment. The whole thing is a mess because of the dual ownership in 1967 and the allow- ance of the two parcels to be served by one meter. WUrSt. CARROLL & PEarSON Mr. Greg Skinner Page 3 August 24, 1981 It is inevitable in this type of situation that when the ownership changes, you then have a dispute between the parties as to who is using how much water and of course the City has no way to meter or keep accurate control. I hope this answers your question and I hope that Jay Peterson, Julie Ranfranz, Noel Wittig and Brad Hullsick can all meet and give you an answer as to how the connection is to be made and who will be paying for the service. I have just discovered in my notes that a Mr. Jim Smith at West Suburban Properties, 4363 Wilshire Boulevard may also have an interest, so I am including his name to receive a copy of this letter.

This resolution has been prepared after consultation with you and Mr. Greg Skinner, as well as numerous telephone calls from persons having an interest in this property. I have tried to impress upon the property owners that it is ridic- ulous for them and the City to expend huge sums in attorney's fees and that they would be better off spending their money to resolve the problem rather than to fight about it. Mr. Skinner feels, and I agree, that these people are in direct violation with the water code and that it is impossible to maintain and operate the system unless all consumers are required to meet the regulations as set forth in the City Code. I am suggesting that a due process hearing be offered these persons wherein they can appear before the council as an administrative body to show cause why the City regulations should not be followed. The hearing could be set for November 24 or one of your first meetings in December, depending upon your recor~Lendation. If you have any questions concerning the resolution or the problem, please contact Mr. Skinner and/or myself. I am also sending a copy of this to Greg so that he can review it prior to the council meeting on November 10 to ascertain that I have all of the facts. Very truly youth) Curtis A. Pearson City Attorney CAP:ms Enclosure cc: Mr. Greg Skinner Mr. James Larson I%! RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR A HEARING GIVING CERTAIN PROPERTY OWNERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THE CITY WATER SUPPLY TO 5930 and 5932 BEACHW00D ROAD SHOULD NOT BE DISCONNECTED WHEREAS, the City of Mound owns and operates a municipal water system, and WHEREAS, the City Code, Chapter 6, provides the rules and regulations under which the water service is provided to Mound property owners, and WHEREAS, at the time said ordinance was enacted Section 6.16, Subd. g, of the City Code provides as follows: "Every separate building and each unit in a duplex, double bungalow or townhouse supplied with water must have its own service connection directly with the mains and each unit must be provided with a shut- off and drip valve in the cellar from an independent riser pipe. These provisions shall apply to all new construction and for any units which connect to the City's water mains hereafter; existing units which do not have separate services as of the effective date of this ordinance and which are now connected to the City's mains are excepted from these provisions except as set forth below. Two or more adjacent buildings owned by the same person shall be supplied through the same con- nection only so long as the single ownership continues and provided that the owner agrees to pay all char~es for water consumed on the entire premises. Upon the termination of such single-ownership, a separate connec- tion shall be made ium, ediately to the building or premises theretofore having the indirect connection, provided that in case there is no water main on any street on which said premises abut, the Superintendent may permit such connec- tion to remain until the water main is laid in such abutting street." and WHEREAS, certain properties containing the street address of 5930 Beachwood Road and 5932 BeaChwood Road were under conm~on owner- ship at the time the ordinance was originally enacted, and WHEREAS, under the provisions of the City Code these two properties which were supplied by one water line and one meter, could continue in such a status until the ownership was changed from a single owner to two separate owners, and WHEREAS, the City Water Department is now advised that these properties have been separated and are owned by separate indiv- iduals and carry separate tax statements, and WHEREAS, the City Water Department has now investigated and finds that the individual ownership has been transferred to dual owners and has advised the parties in interest of the necessity of a second water line and a second water meter, and WHEREAS, the City Water Department contacted the City Attorney and provided him with the facts regarding these properties and received from him an opinion under date of August 24, 1981 indicating the necessity for separate connections and said letter was sent to all known parties in interest, and a copy of said opinion is attached to this resolution and marked Exhibit A, and WHEREAS, the parties in interest have not taken any action to resolve the problem, and WHEREAS, Mr. Greg Skinner, Superintendent of the Mound Water Department advised the parties on November 6 that he would be turning off the water supply, and WHEREAS, the parties and their attorneys have called the City and the City Attorney and dispute the City's right to turn off this water even though they acknowledge there is only one line and only one meter serving two separate properties, and WHEREAS, the City Attorney has advised this council that to protect the rights of the individuals and to provide them with due process, a hearing should be held wherein said parties have an oppor- tunity to provide information to this council to show cause why the water should not be disconnected, and the City Attorney has advised the Water Superintendent to hold off the water disconnection until after such a hearing has been conducted; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MOUND CITY COUNCIL: 1. Ail known parties having an interest in properties located at 5930 Beachwood Road and 5932 Beachwood Road shall be advised that they may appear before this council on 1981 to show cause why their water should not be disconnected. 2. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to send a copy of this resolution to Mr. Jay Peterson, Ms. Julie Ranfranz, Mr. Jim MacKinnon, Mr. Noel M. Wittig, Mr. Jim Smith, and any other persons who have registered an interest'in these properties. Ail parties are advised that they may appear at the above date and time to show cause to this council why the water supply should not be terminated. 3. It is the position of the City that all water consumers are bound by the rules and regulations as set forth in the City Water Code and that it is impossible for the City to provide water to separate properties where only one water meter exists and to enforce the regu- lations of this department without there being individual connections to individual parcels which have individual responsibility for meeting the code and paying any water charges for water consumed on the premises.

Leroy Signs, Inc. for Metro Station, 5377 Shoreline Boulevard The sign is excessive in size and the total limits of (dimensions) sign should be no larger than four (4) feet by eight (8) feet. The City of Mound does not need billboard solicitation on the main arterial into the City. If this is kept up, we won't be able to see the build- ing for the billboards. 2. Danny Jensen, 1673 Canary Lane Side Yard Variance for Garage The existing house addition is nonconforming in being 7 foot 6 inches from the side Yard (10 feet is required) side yard deficiency of 2 foot 6 inches. Also the existing garage is nonconforming. It has a side yard deficiency of 1.7 feet. To allow this nonconformancy to expand would not be in the best interest of the City. Why not move the existing garage to conform and add to the existing garage? 3. St. John's Lutheran Church, 2451Fairview Lane Sign Permit Signs this large for identification signs are not in the best interests of the City nor does it relate to the best taste of the purpose of which it is intended or proposed. If allowed, be it in the interest of public safety that the site location for sign placement be approved by the Chief of Police. The site location should be definitely defined prior to approval.

There would be nothing to prevent him from putting an overhead door at the rear and front of his new garage and thereby drive through to the rear garage. Due to the angle of the home on his lot, the proposed garage addition would be 2.3 to 3 feet from the South lot line. Property irons would be required to be marked at the time of the footing inspection and the existing detached garage would be required to be set away from the principal structure by five (5) feet.

Once again we can back away from hi rates, fears of inflation, governmental deficits, worries abot of tax exemption and think about the really important things -- we lilive, healthier than we might be, sheltered, well fed (it might be ICtive to travel some of the poorer areas of the globe). We are free to and come as we please. We can complain about our leadership, we can i - meaningfully vote. We don't have a national police knocking on the doort we don't have political prisons, executions. It's important to stand b~ck and "see" how fortunate we really are. ) The world will turn in spite of budget~deficits, high interest rates; The great universe is not apt to even quiver if one's particular moral standard is offended. What we need most is a clea~ perspective and resolution of global national and local problems in a spirit of understanding and forgiveness, trying to identify those concerns that are truly important. What is really important is that we don't annihilate each other in the name of this or that religious or political conviction. Perhaps a little less judgement and a little less shouting will get us through. Attitude is everything and that's what this time of the year especially impresses on us. Have a Happy Holiday. Merry Christmas from all of us. Y~rt L. Ehl~rs EHLERS AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

This review is precipitated by continuing inflationary pressures on MTC operating costs coupled with the financial constraints imposed upon MTC by reductions in federal and state funding. These financial constraints are forcing MTC to implement cost reduction measures in all facets of our operations. One such area is the maintenance of the passenger waiting shelters. When the above referenced shelter was installed in Mound, the City agreed, as part of the participation agreement, to perform the routine maintenance of the shelter (i.e., cleaning, litter pick up, snow removal). Our records indicate that the MTC, as well as the city, is performing that duty. As of December 1, 1981, the MTC will cease this duplication of services. We appreciate the additional responsibility that is placed upon the City of Mound by this procedural change. However, we are sure that you can empathize with the position in which the MTC finds itself and will cooperate fully in assuring the continued successful operation of the shelter program. As stated in the agreement, the MTC will continue to repair shelters which are damaged through vandalism or accidents. Please call Mr. Gary DeCurtins, Shelter Maintenance Foreman at 642-2623, to report a damaged shelter. Thank you again for your cooperation. Sincerely, David R.

D.C. 205t0 November 23, 1981 Mr. Jon Elam City of Mound 5341Maywood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Dear Jon: Thank you for getting in touch with me to express your concern about Revenue Ruling 81-58 which affects the tax exempt status of police and fire relief associations. I appreciate the time you have taken to share your views with me. Because I share your deep concern, I have joined with other members of the Minnesota delegation opposing Revenue Ruling 81- 58. I'm sending along a copy of the letter sent to the Commis- sioner of the Internal Revenue Service Roscoe L. Egger, Jr. which expresses our views. As you will note, Internal~~.~Service officials indicated that a' decision Would/be made regarding 81-58 by December 1, 1981. I want to assure you that if a favorable decision is not made on the ad~inistrative~:level, I will work to get legislation passed to preserve your tax exemption. Again, thanks for calling this important matter to my atten- tion. I'll be back in touch wiith~ you when I have something to report.
