CALL TO ORDERWORKSESSION OF THE ANOKA CITY COUNCILANOKA CITY HALLCITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION ROOMMAY 28, <strong>2013</strong>Mayor Pro Tem Anderson called the worksession meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.2. ROLL CALLPresent at roll call: Mayor Rice (arrived at 5:40 p.m.), Councilmembers Anderson,Schmidt, and Weaver.Absent: Councilmember Freeburg.Staff present: <strong>City</strong> Manager Tim Cruikshank; Director <strong>of</strong> Public Services/<strong>City</strong> EngineerGreg Lee; Finance Director Lori Yager; Planning Director Carolyn Braun; EconomicDevelopment Coordinator/Planner Erik Thorvig; Associate Planner Crystal Pauman;Electric Utility Director Dan Voss; Golf Course Director Greg Norland; and RecordingSecretary Cathy Sorensen.3. COUNCIL BUSINESS and/or DISCUSSION ITEMS3.1 Discussion; Streetlights.Electric Utility Director Dan Voss stated that at the January 28th work session,Council directed staff to install a new type <strong>of</strong> LED fixture in the Oakwood Drive,Levee-Rice Street test areas. The fixtures purchased in 2010 for the test areas hada color temperature <strong>of</strong> 5,000K (blue hue) and a lighting distribution pattern type IIwhich is used in a parking lot and caused the light to shine all around the pole.Residents in the test areas disliked the LED lights very much. Many peoplecomplained that the bluish light given <strong>of</strong>f is cold and unwelcoming and that thelight was very bright. The light spills into their living room and bedrooms andcurtains/shades don’t seem to shut out the light.At the January 28th work session Council reviewed a LED fixture that had a colortemperature <strong>of</strong> 3,000K and a lighting distribution pattern type III which is the type<strong>of</strong> light pattern used on residential streets that direct the majority <strong>of</strong> light towardthe street and less to the houses.Electric staff removed the existing 100 watt, high pressure sodium, 2,500K, nolight distribution pattern fixture and installed a new Holophane, 40 watt, 3,000K,type III lighting pattern LED fixture during the week <strong>of</strong> May 6th at the followinglocations:4 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 18• Four fixtures between 1401 and 1317 Oakwood Drive• One fixture at the intersection <strong>of</strong> 3rd Avenue and Oakwood Drive• One fixture at the 3rd Avenue cul-de-sac in front <strong>of</strong> 1185 3rd Avenue• One fixture at 1707 Levee Avenue• One fixture at the Rice Street BeachStaff is still waiting for delivery <strong>of</strong> six Hadco, 40 watt, 3,000K, type III lightingpattern LED fixtures to install in the <strong>2013</strong> street renewal area.Councilmember Schmidt confirmed that the additional lights from a differentmanufacturer are 3,000K and Hadco type at Greenhaven Golf Course, addingthere is no functional difference in type just the manufacturer.<strong>City</strong> Manager Tim Cruikshank said the reason this is on the agenda is that thereare a number <strong>of</strong> lights installed in certain neighborhoods and some neighborswanted to share their feedback on the lighting choices.Jan Blair, <strong>Anoka</strong>, asked what type <strong>of</strong> light was placed on Second Avenue. Mr.Voss said back to 100W HP sodium.Mr. Cruikshank suggested that Council is hearing from neighbors independently.Councilmember Weaver asked if the neighbors were consulted. Mr. Cruikshanksaid staff had contacted them and expected them to attend.Councilmember Weaver asked that staff confirm with the neighborhood beforefinal action but said the fixtures do not seem as bad as previously thought,although they are not an acorn style. Mr. Voss said the Hadco type does have theacorn style and that those will be the ones likely chosen.Councilmember Schmidt said the two lights at Rice Lake Beach have a verydifferent pattern <strong>of</strong> 360 degrees, which takes some getting used to due to theshield. Mr. Voss agreed, stating the original lights ones on Rice Street had globeswithout prisms and that the Hal<strong>of</strong>ane lights have more direct light. He said theHadco style has the same type <strong>of</strong> prisms.Councilmember Schmidt said these lights are far less obtrusive then the first LEDlights due to the design and KV. He said it will be interesting to see the Hadcolights for comparison.3.2 Discussion; Sewer Back-up.Director <strong>of</strong> Public Services/<strong>City</strong> Engineer Greg Lee stated that on March 8, <strong>2013</strong>,a sanitary sewer backup incident occurred on Oakwood Lane between 3rd and 4thAvenue. Staff shared Sewer Callout Reports from both from Bill Bendiske, UtilityEmployee and Pete Klingenberg Utility Supervisor and a summary <strong>of</strong> the seven5 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 18(7) properties that were impacted by this backup and the cost each propertyincurred by the initial cleanup performed by Service Master.At the April 22, <strong>2013</strong> Worksession, the <strong>City</strong> Council discussed Sanitary SewerIncident Actions Steps and Policies. Mark Lenz <strong>of</strong> Bearence Insurance, anInsurance Broker working with the League <strong>of</strong> Minnesota Cities, was in attendanceat the Worksession and provided information and consultation on insurance as itrelates to sewer backup and other such incidents.One <strong>of</strong> the action steps developed at the April 22nd Worksession was to enhanceour public communications by informing property owners about sewer backups.This would include what not to dispose <strong>of</strong> in the sewer systems and insuranceoptions that address sewer backups and other such incidences.The <strong>City</strong> has provided such information in the past, including a Water UtilityNotice that was included in every utility bill in April 2007. However, in light <strong>of</strong>the Oakwood sewer backup incident, Public Services will be embarking on apublic informational campaign.On May 5th the <strong>City</strong> mailed out a Sanitary Sewer Disposal Letter and MPCAmedical waste disposal brochure to the property owners “upstream“ from theOakwood sewer backup area; a total <strong>of</strong> 308 properties. We are using the League<strong>of</strong> Minnesota Cities templates to develop several sewer Public InformationDocuments to be disseminated over the next few weeks, including:• <strong>City</strong> News Letter Article• Brochure• Resident Letter• Utility Bill Stuffer• WebsiteThe <strong>City</strong> newsletter has been developed and submitted for publishing as part <strong>of</strong>the summer edition <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> View News Letter (June-September). Staff iscurrently developing a brochure, resident letter, utility bill stuffer, and an articlefor our website based on the League <strong>of</strong> Minnesota Cities templates. Thesedocuments will address not only what NOT to dispose <strong>of</strong> in the sanitary sewer,but will include information regarding insurance and how to protect their propertyfrom sewer backups.Other steps the Public Services Department is taking to address sewer backupsonce an incident has occurred and steps to prevent reoccurrence <strong>of</strong> such incidentsinclude:• Develop an “Emergency Information Brochure” – this brochure will be handedout to all property owners involved in either a sewer backup or a failure <strong>of</strong> theirsewer or water service. It will include such information as; responsibilities for allparties involved, contact information <strong>of</strong> licensed contractors.6 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 18• Continue to add problem areas to the <strong>City</strong>’s existing “Increased Inspection AreaProgram”• Explore the feasibility <strong>of</strong> including low flow alarms at key lift stations on thesystem• Explore the feasibility <strong>of</strong> adding more high liquid level alarms to key manholes.Mr. Cruikshank stated the reason this was being discussed again was because <strong>of</strong>comments made by staff regarding possible reimbursement and how we can makethis right.Councilmember Weaver said that Mr. Patula was the only attendee at the April 22work session, and that this seemed almost a non-issue so he was glad that othersattended the Council meeting to share their concerns. He said if he had knownabout staff’s inference to reimbursement they may have been a different outcome.He said someone misspoke who was not authorized to speak about reimbursementcosts, adding that liability and responsibility are two different things.Councilmember Schmidt said that information as inadvertently allowed that ledcitizens to believe that some type <strong>of</strong> positive response would be received from the<strong>City</strong> regarding clean up by ServiceMaster. He said the residents relied on <strong>City</strong>staff and hoped that this will not set a precedent. He said we need to be moreprepared in situations such as these.Mr. Cruikshank said staff at times will say things that are not accurate but if thereis no impact it is one thing but when actions are different based on staff inputthere can be an impact such as now.Councilmember Schmidt said this is the appropriate action to respond but addedhe doesn’t want to stifle staff so much that they don’t respond because sometimesthey have to act fast.Mr. Cruikshank said staff wants to help and has good intentions, and while theymay have overstepped in this instance but/for an acknowledgement we wouldn’tbe recommending reimbursing the ServiceMaster costs. He said the League <strong>of</strong>Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) said <strong>City</strong> is not liable for this back-up,adding we won’t be paying for these types <strong>of</strong> costs in the future if deemed notresponsible because this is just a gesture.Finance Director Lori Yager shared an email from Mark Lenz <strong>of</strong> the LMCITstating that with regard to this particular incident this action would have nobearing on the adjustment <strong>of</strong> claims in the future, meaning we won’t be penalizedfor future claims. Mr. Lenz suggested that staff work with the <strong>City</strong> Attorneywhen finalizing the cleanup reimbursements.Mr. Cruikshank said staff will finalize the reimbursements and bring back to a<strong>City</strong> Council meeting.7 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 18Councilmember Weaver said seven homeowners were affected through thisincident and said that residents should consider adding an insurance rider on theirhomeowners’ policy for situations such as this. He said this has been a learningexperience for everyone.Council consensus was to reimburse for ServiceMaster/clean-up costs thatresulted from this sewer back-up incident.David Hawkins, 412 Oakwood, said they were instructed by staff on the processon what was needed in order to be reimbursed for cleanup which they followed.He said he understands other issues were involved but said he had concerns aboutthis part <strong>of</strong> the process.John Engen, 401 Oakwood, said he was not made aware <strong>of</strong> the April 22 meetingotherwise he would have attended along with many others.Mayor Pro Tem Anderson asked how we notified the public about this meeting.Mr. Patula said he was notified through the newspaper.Mr. Engen said staff was busy being <strong>City</strong> Hall and forgot about being <strong>Anoka</strong>residents. He said this is a place we want to live and it seemed like <strong>Anoka</strong> failedus, the Council specifically. He asked who made determination that <strong>City</strong> is notliable. He said we have no idea where the blockage was and asked if it wasactually material that shut <strong>of</strong>f flowage <strong>of</strong> sewer or the action <strong>of</strong> the jetter. Mr.Engen asked to see the pipes because we have heard that the <strong>City</strong> is not liable,which could be what the <strong>City</strong> wanted us to hear. He said a jetter pushes 400gallons <strong>of</strong> water per minute through the system and it is possible that waterintroduced into the system was the cause instead.Mr. Lee explained how the jetter works, adding it was done downstream <strong>of</strong> theblockage. Mr. Engen said he wanted to know where the blockage was so he canunderstand how this happened.Mr. Lee said he will have the Utility Supervisor meet with Mr. Engen on site toreview this with him. Mr. Engen said he was told by Councilmember Freeburgbefore that this would happen but it never did.Mayor Pro Tem Anderson thanked Mr. Engen for his comments.Mr. Cruikshank noted that Councilmember Freeburg has worked hard and is veryconcerned about this issue. Mr. Engen said that may be the case but he did notget that impression. He said he would like the information to satisfy his questionon responsibility <strong>of</strong> this issue.8 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 18Kevin Grabinske, 424 Oakwood, thanked the <strong>City</strong> for the letter regarding thissituation as it covered a lot <strong>of</strong> information. He noted that he would have liked toreceive it earlier though.Councilmember Schmidt inquired about the action plan <strong>of</strong> informing residents <strong>of</strong>potential situations such as this again. Mr. Cruikshank shared a copy <strong>of</strong>information sent to residents in 2007 but said it is good to share this informationover and over.Mr. Lee said their goal is to increase the public information piece about what notto put down a sewer, insurance riders, etc. He said they did a direct mailing to the308 property owners upstream <strong>of</strong> this incident and placed an article in the <strong>City</strong>newsletter and with the June utility bills. Mr. Lee said they will continue toeducate the public over the next several months, including posting information onthe <strong>City</strong>’s website.Ms. Engen, 401 Oakwood, said if needles caused this backup why weren’t thepolice notified to potentially identify illegal action. Mr. Cruikshank saidunfortunately we cannot identify the source <strong>of</strong> the blockage.Mr. Hawkins said he felt the source could be determined fairly easily.Ms. Engen said if someone is using needles for medical reasons they usuallyknow how to properly dispose <strong>of</strong> them. She said her neighbor, Ms. Young, paidthe claim because <strong>of</strong> concerns <strong>of</strong> placing a lien on house and that this was verycost prohibitive to her.Mr. Grabinske asked if the public was notified when the <strong>City</strong>’s rider endorsementwas removed from the policy. Ms. Yager said the <strong>City</strong> never had the riderendorsement as it is very expensive.Mr. Cruikshank agreed, stating he would be surprised if many cities carry thatrider due to its prohibitive cost.3.3 Discussion; Cottages 2, 3 and 4.Economic Development Coordinator/Planner Erik Thorvig stated the ACCRRHScampus has been discussed and that on April 1, <strong>2013</strong> the <strong>City</strong> Council passed aresolution requesting <strong>Anoka</strong> County to consider alternatives to demolition <strong>of</strong> thecottages. A tour <strong>of</strong> the cottages took place on April 15, <strong>2013</strong>. The <strong>City</strong> iscurrently marketing 6.96 acres <strong>of</strong> city owned land west <strong>of</strong> 4th Avenue and south <strong>of</strong>the ACCRRHS campus for high or medium density residential development.Because the land is adjacent to the campus, there could be a scenario where aprivate developer purchases <strong>Anoka</strong> County land and includes preservation andreuse <strong>of</strong> the three cottages into a development scenario. This scenario wouldrequire participation by <strong>Anoka</strong> County as the current land owner and the State <strong>of</strong>9 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 7 <strong>of</strong> 18Minnesota who has reverting rights on the cottages if they are not used by apublic entity.The redevelopment area could be as large at 15.7 acres. The area is regulated by a300’ easement along the Rum River which defines the west development line.The purpose <strong>of</strong> this item is for general discussion and exploration. Financialdetails, etc. have not been taken into consideration at this time.Councilmember Anderson said he was pleased to hear about this idea, adding one<strong>of</strong> his concerns is the <strong>City</strong> and Planning Commission will need to review forcontemporaneous uses for all cottages so they are compatible. He said he knowsthis will also be the County’s concern.Barb Thurston, Daughters <strong>of</strong> the Revolution (DAR), asked if the three cottageswith another development would preclude the entire area from being on theNational Register.Todd McMahon, <strong>Anoka</strong> Historical Society, said he is not a registered historianbut that Mike Coop from the State’s <strong>of</strong>fice was asked this question and believedthat may not have an impact.Ms. Thurston shared that they held a presentation on Fisher House at their lastDAR meeting, which is similar to a Ronald McDonald House for veterans. Shesaid with the light rail location and the VA in Ramsey this could be an option forthese cottages.Mr. Thorvig said staff has had a conversation regarding a similar use but notedaccessibility in these buildings could be an issue.Councilmember Weaver said they have addressed that with cottages to the eastwith elevator access.Mr. Cruikshank said staff is not saying it is not possible just another challenge.He said they are trying to think creatively about possibilities as this is riverproperty that could be developed. He noted that Representative Abeler mayattend the meeting later and is on board with an idea and will help work with theState, Department <strong>of</strong> Administration, and Human Services, all <strong>of</strong> whom arereceptive to ideas. Mr. Cruikshank said this is not necessarily a solution but is ahope but we have to have the County on board as well. He said they will wantother thoughts but private development in some way could go a long way.Councilmember Weaver asked if the County has listed these cottages on theNational Register yet. Mr. McMahon said the County Attorney’s Office islooking at the impacts first.10 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 8 <strong>of</strong> 18Councilmember Weaver said the listing should open the cottages up for additionalfunding options.Mr. McMahon said Legacy Funds could have been one option but is not becausethey are not on the National Register, adding there have been too many requests.Councilmember Weaver asked how we can continue to encourage the County inthis effort. Mr. Cruikshank said political support will be needed to push theNational Register.Councilmember Schmidt said an interested party like the Historical Society couldnominate the property for Register. Mr. McMahon said a publicly-ownedbuilding could be nominated by anyone but actually is only a process and that thegrant writing could be put on hold if the owner doesn’t wish to have it listed. Hesaid the action allows for the work to be done but the process begins only once anobjection is removed.Councilmember Schmidt asked if prior buy-in from the County could be handedto the Society. Mr. McMahon shared that the Society would be willing to helpwith the process for the County but that they were concerned about impacts.Representative Jim Abeler said the cottages are a liability to the County but thatthey can’t get rid <strong>of</strong> them because they received them as a block so a portionwould be returned to the State for use or sold for fair market value. He saidtherefore the County has to have them all along with their liability. He shared acreative plan adding some other buildings and parking that would allow for theCounty to get rid <strong>of</strong> their liability and create a nice, unique development.Representative Abeler suggested an RFI process with the Heritage PreservationCommission’s (HPC) involvement but if no developer is interested then it will bedifficult. He said the <strong>City</strong> should push as hard within reason, adding thatstructurally the buildings are sound but the ro<strong>of</strong>s are in poor condition. He saidthis would be a unique project with some exemptions given but would be wortharguing for.Mayor Rice said he liked the idea <strong>of</strong> moving development across the courtyard,adding other buildings are in need <strong>of</strong> repair too. Mayor Rice shared pushing fordeveloper interest as compatibility has been a concern all along but that thismakes sense as it would be a good buffer for the area.Mr. Thorvig said they have seven acres listed with many contacts so we can passthis information to agent on a bigger idea to see what people are thinking.Representative Abeler said he would be careful about selling the seven acres asthis should be the bait. He said the County needs a place to have their functionsso this could work.11 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 9 <strong>of</strong> 18Councilmember Schmidt asked if we have any accounting for how much is in theseven acres. Ms. Yager said there is $900,000 left including the seven acres onthe other side, which she anticipates being $700,000 or $1.8 million now.Councilmember Schmidt said he is not sure if he can balance $1.8 million fortrade but if we’ve recouped most <strong>of</strong> the costs it could be considered.Mr. Cruikshank said everyone would have to buy in for this to work.Ms. Yager said she believes the County paid for the small strip in between so theydo have an interest in this concept.Council consensus was to keep working with the real estate agents and possiblycreate a Request for Information for development <strong>of</strong> this site.Mayor Rice said the Volunteers <strong>of</strong> America (VOA) may be an interested partneras this is a state <strong>of</strong> the art facility and they could want more because they have alot invested.Mr. Thorvig said staff has not spoken with the VOA regarding this possibility butwill.3.4 Discussion; Carpenter’s Hall.Councilmember Weaver stated that he will be abstaining from this discussion.Mr. Thorvig stated that last <strong>July</strong> the <strong>City</strong> purchased the property at 1534 S. FerryStreet (formally the Carpenter’s Hall) for $265,500. Since then the <strong>City</strong> has gonethrough a planning process for the S. Ferry Street corridor. Plans generally showredevelopment <strong>of</strong> the site with a building <strong>of</strong> similar size (4,632 sf.) with upgradedparking lot.Staff believes there are three options for the future <strong>of</strong> the site:Demolish the building and sell the property for redevelopment. Generally the sitewould accommodate a retail, <strong>of</strong>fice, or restaurant type use in a 5,000-6,000 sf.building. The site is 22,154 sf. and would sell for $177,232 if sold at $8/sf.Demolition would likely cost around $15,000. The <strong>City</strong> could consider arestrictive covenant on the property to control future uses.Lease the building. Last fall staff did receive an inquiry from a propertymanagement company looking to use the building for their main <strong>of</strong>fice howeverthis didn’t work out. The building needs some work to make it functional. Suchthings include technology upgrades, cleaning, and general maintenance. Generallythe interior layout also makes leasing the building more difficult than typical. If12 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 10 <strong>of</strong> 18leased, the property would be subject to taxes, which for <strong>2013</strong> are $9,666. Thiscost would be factored into the lease rate.Sell the property and building as-is. The property could be sold as-is for a similarprice to what the city purchased it for. The <strong>City</strong> could consider a restrictivecovenant on the property to control future uses. Current tax value for the propertyis $252,900.Councilmember Anderson said the open areas impress him and could be turnedinto a very nice restaurant, although he is troubled by the traffic. He said thiscould be addressed though most likely. He said he would like to see the <strong>City</strong> lookfor a buyer or tenant and make use <strong>of</strong> the amenities <strong>of</strong> a modern look andproximity to Ferry Street.Councilmember Schmidt said he is not responsive to renting as it puts uscompeting with our own taxpayers. He said he would prefer restrictive covenantsand then removing the pieces worthy <strong>of</strong> reclaiming such as the wood beams. Hesaid this is not an attractive building and that he is in favor <strong>of</strong> trying to decidewhat can’t happen on the site and then selling the land after demolition <strong>of</strong> thebuilding.Councilmember Anderson agreed that demolition is an option if the property can’tbe sold. He said he appreciated the comments on rental too so we should look atdisposal.Councilmember Schmidt asked what we don’t want to see on this site. Ms. Braunsaid the Planning Commission is working on a new riverfront zoning district thatwill help us identify what types <strong>of</strong> uses should be allowed. She said the Councilmay want to be more restrictive with covenants but that rental is likely not usefulin this corridor.HRA Commissioner Elvig said they are trying to beautify <strong>Anoka</strong> and since this isnot an attractive building a future tenant will likely want the building demolished.Councilmember Schmidt said there are similar concerns at this site as theCottages but noted this building is historic. He said there will likely be asbestosremediation and ADA compliancy, which seems to be a lot <strong>of</strong> work.PAB Commissioner Bonthius asked if there is anything we can do to improvetraffic. Mayor Rice said the signal was a great compromise and greater thannecessary for the current use.Mr. Lee shared how the signal was obtained, stating it is likely set to maximumallowable cars per day <strong>of</strong> 44,000 for appropriate traffic flow. He said more couldbe done at the side streets but not much more because there is nothing on mainroad.13 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 11 <strong>of</strong> 18Mr. Thorvig said the redevelopment standpoint for this area along with the eastside <strong>of</strong> Ferry Street will be included in the TIF District so there will be somelimited pods and upgrades in use to get more TIF, so this is really more <strong>of</strong> aredevelopment site. He added the property has been identified as substandard.Councilmember Anderson said he was confused because we can’t solve the trafficproblem just as the new owner won’t be able to solve it either.Mayor Rice said some businesses believe that heavy traffic pattern will help butthat he has his reservations.Councilmember Anderson said crossing at Ferry Street and Main Street is muchdifferent, adding we have made quite an investment in our park in this area aswell.Councilmember Schmidt noted the Sihloh House will be included in thisredevelopment area and that he looks forward to the Planning Commission’sinput.Council consensus was the building was in poor condition and since no one willreally want it the building should be demolished and <strong>of</strong>fered as a building site.Mr. Cruikshank said staff agrees with Council that there is not a lot <strong>of</strong> potential inthe building.Councilmember Anderson said the traffic is bad here so we have to solve theaccess problem to make this valuable property in this area.Mayor Rice said it is a challenging road with the curves.Mr. Thorvig said staff will work to sell the wooden beams inside to recoup somecosts.Mayor Rice said if we sell we’ll have to compromise a lot for the price we need.Mr. Thorvig said we could start at $7/square foot and see what happens.Mr. Cruikshank asked if the land would be more valuable with the buildingremoved. Mr. Thorvig said we should keep the building for now but market it asland only because the building has some value.Mayor Rice said the <strong>City</strong> paid $252,900 for the property and that he suggestedbuying it for $150,000. He said there should be some interest in the property,although the building could be reused by a developer.Councilmember Schmidt asked about the expected completion for the newordinance. Ms. Braun said the Planning Commission is almost complete so it willlikely be before Council in <strong>July</strong>.14 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 12 <strong>of</strong> 18Mayor Rice said the building could be demolished whenever they chose but thatthey don’t want to sell it until the ordinance is in place.Mr. Thorvig said staff will research beam pricing for resale.Representative Abeler complimented the Council on their great discussionprocess, adding he would like to invite the new Traffic Commissioner to a futurework session.3.5 Discussion; 1632 South Ferry Street.Ms. Braun stated the <strong>City</strong> acquired the property at 1632 South Ferry Street inearly April. As part <strong>of</strong> the planning process for the South Ferry Street corridor,staff is now seeking your input on several items related to this property.Use <strong>of</strong> the PropertyStaff was planning to market this property for single family use, consistent withits long-term us. Over the past month or so, however, staff has been approachedby individuals interested in using the property for other uses. As you may recall,staff provided you with a request to consider the site as a base <strong>of</strong> operations for atrolley service. We have also been approached about the potential for leasing thesite for use as a tearoom/restaurant.At this point, staff needs input from the Council about your desires for use <strong>of</strong> theproperty. The Planning Commission has been working on a draft for a new zoningdistrict for the east side <strong>of</strong> the South Ferry Street Corridor, from Main Street southto the Mississippi River. (See attached) If the Council prefers a single family use,staff would (1) put the property on the market and (2) revise the proposed zoningordinance accordingly. If the Council is interested in alternative uses, staff wouldsuggest that we prepare and advertise a Request for Proposals for use <strong>of</strong> theproperty.Technical IssuesPrior to a sale or lease <strong>of</strong> the property, there are a number <strong>of</strong> technical issues thatneed to be addressed. The Woodbury House currently has access by way <strong>of</strong> aneasement across the property to the south owned by the Weaver Brothers. Theowners <strong>of</strong> the neighboring property are willing to donate a portion <strong>of</strong> theirproperty to provide a dedicated access to the 1632 property. Through the planningprocess for South Ferry Street, it has been suggested that most <strong>of</strong> the twonortherly parcels on the 1632 site be separated from the house site. The northerlylots are restricted from development by a viewshed easement. It is intended thatthis area remain public and serve as green space.In response to the land division issues, the <strong>City</strong> hired Hakanson Anderson toprepare a draft plat. The proposed plat creates 3 new separate parcels. Lot 3 is theprivate property to be retained by the Weaver Brothers. Lot 2 is land 1,447 square15 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 13 <strong>of</strong> 18feet in size to be donated to the <strong>City</strong> and is platted to be combined with theWoodbury House property. Lot 1 is the property north <strong>of</strong> the Woodbury Houseand is designated open space in the draft South Ferry Riverfront Districtordinance. The plat also establishes several easements. The proposed subdivisionincludes an ingress/egress/trail easement over the existing bituminous drivewaythat runs east and west between the Woodbury House and Ferry Street to providefuture access to Lot 1. There is also a trail easement over the east portion <strong>of</strong> Lot 2for construction <strong>of</strong> a future trail along the concrete and stone path. The exactlocation <strong>of</strong> a trail can be determined when the trail is ready to be constructed.There is also a “triangular” easement over the pumphouse and stairway on Lot 3.A 20-foot wide utility easement is also shown over the existing overhead powerline. There is an existing sewer and water pipe near the garage by the WoodburyHouse; an easement is proposed over these lines to provide utility access to theLot 3 which is private property owned by the Weaver Brothers. The proposed platwill require review and approval by the Planning Commission and <strong>City</strong> Council.Request from the Heritage Preservation CommissionThe Heritage Preservation Commission has requested that the <strong>City</strong> Council allowthem to include the Woodbury House in the Heritage Home and Garden Tour on<strong>July</strong> 14th. As you are aware, the interior is in need <strong>of</strong> updating. The Council couldallow tours <strong>of</strong> the house and grounds or perhaps just a tour <strong>of</strong> the grounds, inparticular the walking path and historic elements on the site.Council is asked to discuss and provide direction on the following:1. Next steps for the property – direct staff to market the property for singlefamily use or develop a request for proposals for an alternative use <strong>of</strong> theproperty.2. Provide general comments on the draft preliminary plat.3. Provide direction on the HPC’s request to have the Woodbury House on theHome Tour.Associate Planner Crystal Pauman gave an overview <strong>of</strong> the technical issues withthe preliminary plat.Mayor Rice asked if the lot line between Cottages 1 and 2 was new. Ms. Braunsaid for the two lots on the end that would be replatted the line was drawn north<strong>of</strong> the driveway so adding this cleans up some legal description.Mayor Rice referred to the trail easement along the river that runs along the lotline along Cottages 2 and 3.Councilmember Weaver said we’ve allowed them to put an easement there toallow exit from the trail.16 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 14 <strong>of</strong> 18Ms. Braun noted that this is a blanket easement so there is no need to definewhere the trail will actually be.Councilmember Schmidt asked if this is subject to a view shed easement becausethat changes the perspective on what can be placed on the plat. Ms. Braun said itis subject to view shed easement because it is needed to function with the house.She said no structures would impede the view.Ms. Braun said we anticipated placing this on the market as a single family homebut have been approached with other concept ideas such as Randy Bromley for atrolley and Tim and Liz Koch from the Mad Hatter Tea Room.Ms. Koch shared history regarding the house, stating it was sold then andrepurchased two years ago. She shared a proposal to relocate the Mad Hatter TeaRoom to this location as they are in need <strong>of</strong> more space for an expanded kitchen,seating, and menu, including brunch. She said they want to <strong>of</strong>fer an upscalerestaurant and bistro with wine and craft beer. Ms. Koch said they have beenlooking outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> but that this is not their preference as they want toexpand and want here. She said the trails would be a great amenity to the TeaRoom as they could <strong>of</strong>fer a picnic basket option for hiking.Councilmember Schmidt shared how people come from all over the metro area toshop in <strong>Anoka</strong>. He asked if the Kochs are considering purchasing or renting. Ms.Koch said they could review some options but would prefer to lease with theintent to purchase in five-years.Mr. Cruikshank asked if they intend to make the leasehold improvements. Ms.Koch said they intend to do a majority <strong>of</strong> the work but will need to work with the<strong>City</strong>, adding they can do the kitchen improvements.Councilmember Anderson asked about the WAC/SAC implications. Ms. Braunsaid she is not sure but that there would be additional amounts <strong>of</strong> WAC/SAC dueto the restaurant seating.Councilmember Anderson said he has <strong>of</strong>ten thought <strong>of</strong> the Woodbury House as apotential restaurant setting. Ms. Koch agreed, stating the Mad Hatter would allowfor availability during day and evening dining. She said while she is not sure that<strong>Anoka</strong> can support fine dining seven days this would <strong>of</strong>fer a good mix. Sheadded that they envision homemade food and not steak.Councilmember Anderson said traffic will be an issue. Ms. Koch said their hours<strong>of</strong> operation would be little later so they would miss the morning rush hour,although evenings could be a problem for early dining.Ms. Braun said staff needs Council direction if they are interested in uses otherthan single family. She said if so they could draw up an RFP for similar uses for17 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 15 <strong>of</strong> 18Council consideration and delay placing the property on the market while youexplore options such as this or Mr. Bromley’s idea.Mr. Cruikshank said uses are already established so the property could be placedon the market now. Ms. Braun noted this proposal is a lease option so moreconsideration is needed.Councilmember Anderson said he would be interested in pursuing some type <strong>of</strong>lease arrangement.Councilmember Schmidt said we should define what we don’t want there so thereshould be no particular problem for either a sale or lease. He noted the propertyneeds a lot <strong>of</strong> work and hopes the Kochs understands that.Ms. Koch said they would like to get the community involved somehow to helpwith landscape, flooring, and other aspects, allowing them the opportunity toadvertise for efforts through placards.Mr. Koch said he does construction work and believes this is a strong structure,adding the electrical has been updated and that the site should be very workable.Councilmember Weaver said the site contains upsized water and sewer lines toaccommodate a commercial use already so the infrastructure is in place for otheruses.HRA Commissioner Elvig said Councilmember Freeburg had attended an HRAmeeting <strong>of</strong>fering his help to clean up the yard. Mr. Cruikshank saidCouncilmember Freeburg has done some cleanup already.Mayor Rice said this is the most historic building in <strong>Anoka</strong>, adding it is charmingwith dramatic history so a public use would be good. He said it is a shame that itmay not be a single family home but is noteworthy and deserves reuse.Ms. Koch said because we bring in so much destination traffic that having this asa gateway to the <strong>City</strong> would be great.Peg Flaig, Home and Garden Tour, said the home needs work but would bebreathtaking for the upcoming Home and Garden tour. She said her group may beinterested to help with the home.Mr. McMahon said there is much interest in this house and would do well for the<strong>City</strong>.Ms. Braun said there has been a suggestion <strong>of</strong> selling tickets for this portion <strong>of</strong> thetour as there is a lot <strong>of</strong> interest in this property.18 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 16 <strong>of</strong> 18Councilmember Schmidt said he would favor full access to the grounds and askedhow many tickets are sold each year for the tour. Mr. McMahon said they sell250-300 tickets each year but noted they can’t provide insurance as it is too costprohibitive so they ask homeowners to be liable. He said they have volunteers ateach site to help direct traffic and ensure a presence, adding they have never hadan incident.Councilmember Schmidt said he is concerned about too much traffic in the homefor safety and liability concerns.Mayor Rice suggested a higher price ticket be implemented in order to limitaccess.Councilmember Anderson suggested allowing entry to the porch area only.Ms. Flaig suggested access to the main floor only and not the back area orbasement.Ms. Thurston said the house would be a big draw and that we shouldn’t ask forfunding.Councilmember Weaver said they seem to have a direction so hopefully they canadvertise this property by <strong>July</strong>.Ms. Thurston said we need to know if the home can be included on the tour sothey can advertise.Mr. Cruikshank said the <strong>City</strong> will have inspector review the general areas andsuggest areas to rope <strong>of</strong>f in order to have the home included on the tour.Councilmember Schmidt said maybe others will come forward and this willamplify our efforts <strong>of</strong> other uses instead <strong>of</strong> a single family home. He asked if theHeritage Preservation Commission had an opinion on commercial uses for thishome. Ms. Thurston said this had not been discussed.HRA Commissioner Elvig said her concern about the Mad Hatter moving fromthe downtown area is that people won’t shop as much. Ms. Koch said theydistribute a Rediscover <strong>Anoka</strong> shopping guide to their patrons so she doesn’t seethis occurring, adding they will also have maps and signage towards downtown.She said most people coming to their restaurant are there to shop anyway.3.6 Discussion; Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).Ms. Yager said the <strong>City</strong> Council is asked to review the five-year CapitalImprovement Plan prior to adoption.19 <strong>of</strong> 360


May 28, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 17 <strong>of</strong> 18Councilmember Schmidt asked what is being done now with regard to some <strong>of</strong>the proposed items. Ms. Yager said the Enterprise Substation 115kV underbuildwill be included in 2014 and the new Garfield Substation will be included in 2014and 2015.Mr. Lee said the front entrance at Greenhaven will be done in 2014 and combinedwith the lower entrance too because the scope had changed.Councilmember Schmidt asked where we can find the money to do more pavingprojects. Mr. Cruikshank said staff had reviewed options for accelerating theprogram into Slabtown and is now estimating $1.6-$1.8 million but is suggestingdoing the project in one year rather than over three years similar to the 2012project. He said staff is recommending starting Slabtown in 2015.Councilmember Weaver said they have been doing street renewal projects butdoing mill and overlay too and he doesn’t want to lose that aspect <strong>of</strong> the programfor even one year.Mr. Cruikshank said we were able to do full depth reclamations and Slabtown isbased on financial aspects, adding we are able to do two street renewal projects in2015. He said we are fully committed through 2014 though because so manyprojects were done in 2014.Councilmember Weaver asked where the funds go if budgeted items are delayed.Ms. Yager said delayed items are just eventually used for the intended project.Mayor Rice said moving the substation to the new location cost much more thananticipated, adding our roads are in tough condition and will worsen by 2015.Mr. Cruikshank said we had so many projects that we are trying to catch up. Hesaid the south and north loop road was moved up and Greenhaven, Kings Island,and Phase II <strong>of</strong> Castle Field were not planned for <strong>2013</strong>. He said they haven’t lostsight <strong>of</strong> the roads improvements needed but that they need to catch up first.Mayor Rice said he clearly recalled losing $1.2 million from electric to buy thewire needed to move the substation out and that it now sounds like you want totake money from Electric to build roads.Councilmember Weaver said if there’s a way to do even one street project itwould be in our best interest.Councilmember Schmidt inquired about purchasing 500 Greenhaven Road. Ms.Yager said we are doing that now with internal borrowing and if not we will haveto do bonds instead as there are only a limited amount <strong>of</strong> funds available.Mr. Cruikshank said Council has made it clear that they want more road projects.20 <strong>of</strong> 360

Mr. Popenhagen stated the standard requires recording liability forMinnesota’s share <strong>of</strong> the PERA pension obligation, adding this has received muchattention due to PERA being underfunded.Councilmember Freeburg asked if this will result in the taxpayers paying more.Mr. Popenhagen said not necessarily, as the standard is being implemented to22 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 32reflect the necessary figures. He said this will not change how this is funded buthow it is recorded.<strong>City</strong> Manager Tim Cruikshank said the PERA liability has always been there butGASB is just making cities report it differently.Mr. Popenhagen agreed, stating this is just another extension <strong>of</strong> accrualaccounting. He complimented the <strong>City</strong> on receiving the Certificate <strong>of</strong>Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 31 st year.Councilmember Schmidt said the financial report is very lengthy so would like todefer acceptance <strong>of</strong> the report to allow for further study.Finance Director Lori Yager said <strong>City</strong> Charter states that the report must bepresented to Council prior to June 30.Councilmember Schmidt said the report can then be reviewed further at a laterdate. He stated that regarding PERA all entities are going to have met thisreporting requirement and asked if there is also an accounting for Fire. Ms. Yagersaid this requirement will apply to both Police/Fire and PERA.Mayor Rice said the rule is not reflective <strong>of</strong> any increase in liability just a separatelisting <strong>of</strong> the liability. Mr. Popenhagen agreed, stating the bond rating agencieshave pushed for this requirement.Councilmember Weaver noted assets <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> exceeded liabilities by $122million, with $35 million unrestricted net in accordance. He said the <strong>City</strong>’s netposition increased by 8.1% or $9 million, which reflects a very frugal financialstanding.Pat Walker, <strong>Anoka</strong>, asked if the future debt service increase in 2017 has to dowith the pension accounting.

Ms. Yager said the $9 million increase is primarilyinfrastructure, which is listed as an asset.23 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 32Mr. Cruikshank said this Council has doubled street reconstruction projects overthe last 4-5 years, adding regarding debt we are not planning on issuing more debtjust the interest payments.Councilmember Weaver said infrastructure formulas make up our credit rating sowe are doing well.Councilmember Schmidt added the debt graph would be running contra to whatwe are paying.4.2 Teresa Hentges, 719 Polk Street and Nicole Moses, 721 Polk Street, referred tothe Great River Energy (GRE) 115kv voltage line project that is being constructedthrough their backyards. They shared that they have worked with therepresentatives regarding buy out <strong>of</strong> the easement and believe GRE can only takea 25-foot easement through their property but that they are proposing a 50-footeasement which is too much as it will go through their homes. They shared thatthere is a front yard easement already in place for sidewalks on Polk Street andthat they are concerned with their property values, removing trees that block theview <strong>of</strong> Highway 10, and all the existing lines that will go on new poles that willaffect more than half <strong>of</strong> their backyards. They stated they are concerned aboutexposure to lines, magnetic fields, and noise and that GRE’s representatives willnot meet with them to discuss these concerns.Ms. Moses stated that with the addition <strong>of</strong> this power line it will limit mortgagelender options should they wish to sell their home in the future because the line isconsidered a hazard. She said GRE wants to take the full 50 feet on the otherside.Councilmember Freeburg said he understands their frustration, adding he assumeddetails were being worked out.Mr. Cruikshank said we are working with GRE on <strong>City</strong> matters regarding thisproject but not private property owners. He said staff will contact GRE to seewhat can be done.Councilmember Freeburg inquired about their proposed compensation. Ms.Hentges said GRE is <strong>of</strong>fering them $7,000 and $5,000 respectively, adding that10 feet <strong>of</strong> the line is going to go across their properties which is not a good thing.She said GRE does not want to have to buy them out.Councilmember Freeburg said their compensation should be more than $5,000because <strong>of</strong> the limitations <strong>of</strong> future mortgage options <strong>of</strong> only cash or conventionalmortgages will affect them greatly as property owners.Mr. Cruikshank said staff will get more information and help act as mediatory inthis situation.24 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 32Councilmember Schmidt said he had encouraged Ms. Hentges and Ms. Moses toattend and share their concerns because once GRE went to the Public UtilityCommission it removed any action from the <strong>City</strong>. He stated the <strong>City</strong> will assist inany way we can though to help find a solution to their concerns.Mr. Walker said he had followed some <strong>of</strong> this project but did not realize itimpacted so many residential properties. He said when Highway 10 camethrough it devastated many property owners and said he will research what can bedone through the HRA, as these are problem areas and could be considered forpossible redevelopment.Mayor Rice said he does not like seeing a taking for only half, as they seem to beleaving them both with usable property.Councilmember Schmidt noted GRE is not taking property just requesting aneasement, although the end result is not good.5. PUBLIC HEARING(S)5.1 Public Hearing – Adoption <strong>of</strong> Modification to the Development Program forMunicipal Development District No. 1 and the Proposed Modification <strong>of</strong> theSouth Ferry Tax Increment District.RES/Adoption <strong>of</strong> Modification to the Development Program for MunicipalDevelopment District No. 1 and the Proposed Modification <strong>of</strong> the South FerryTax Increment District.RESOLUTIONElimination <strong>of</strong> Three (3) Parcels from the South Ferry Street TIF DistrictRESOLUTION<strong>City</strong> Planner/Economic Development Coordinator Erik Thorvig stated that priorto considering the modification to the South Ferry Street TIF District, the <strong>City</strong>Council must first hold a public hearing to hear testimony. He shared a resolutionrelating to the modification <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> Council Tax Increment Financing (TIF)Development Program and modification to the plan for the South Ferry Street TIFDistrict.Mr. Thorvig shared that the South Ferry Street TIF District was originallycertified in <strong>July</strong> 2008. The South Ferry Street project area extends five blocksfrom the Main/Ferry intersection southerly to the municipal boundary at theMississippi River Bridge. This corridor parallels the Rum River and terminatesnear its confluence with the Mississippi River. It consists <strong>of</strong> a mix <strong>of</strong> usesincluding older single-family homes, high-density residential apartments,commercial and public uses. These uses are significantly impacted by high and25 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 32ever increasing traffic volumes on this street, which serves as US Highway 169.Highway access to these properties is limited and problematical. As a result someproperties have changed uses and have also suffered from deferred maintenanceand deterioration.The goals <strong>of</strong> the TIF District are as follows:1.) Improve access to properties.2.) Improve police and fire protection access to serve these properties.3.) Upgrade public improvements where needed.4.) Enhance the south gateway at the Mississippi Bridge via development andentry identification.5.) Redefine land use more consistent with a high traffic volume street.6.) Facilitate rehabilitation or redevelopment <strong>of</strong> private properties.7.) Take advantage <strong>of</strong> residential and commercial development opportunitiesalong the Rum and Mississippi Rivers.8.) Enhance and reinvest in three properties on the National Register <strong>of</strong> HistoricPlaces (Kline Sanitarium, Woodbury House, and Eastman Amphitheatre).Activities may include property acquisition, building demolition, environmentalassessment and cleanup, site preparation and construction <strong>of</strong> publicimprovements.Mr. Thorvig said the District was modified on December 20, 2010 to include anadditional 5 parcels at the northwest corner <strong>of</strong> Benton Street and Ferry Street andadjacent and internal rights-<strong>of</strong>-way in order to facilitate the construction <strong>of</strong>multifamily, senior housing units and/or <strong>of</strong>fice condos. The District is beingmodified to include 23 parcels on the east side <strong>of</strong> Ferry Street generally fromMain Street north to the Mississippi River south in order to facilitateredevelopment for high-density housing and commercial uses. This modificationis a result <strong>of</strong> a S. Ferry Street corridor study that was started in 2012 to analyzeland use, transportation, historic preservation, and public facilities along thecorridor.Mr. Thorvig stated the modification provides for increased tax incrementrevenues in the district based on projected development within the modificationarea. He shared the budget based on the modification, stating that generally thenumbers within the budget can change without approval provided the overall totaldoes not increase. He said the total project and interest costs will be $12,130,000.Mayor Rice opened the public hearing at 7:38 p.m.As no one appeared, Mayor Rice closed the public hearing at 7:38 p.m.NOTE: By motion from Councilmember Schmidt, which was seconded byCouncilmember Anderson, and by a unanimous vote <strong>of</strong> the Council, agenda item 9.2was moved up on the agenda and acted upon at this point.

Councilmember Weaver abstained. Motion carried.5.2 Public Hearing – Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program Update (SWPPP)Director <strong>of</strong> Public Services/<strong>City</strong> Engineer Greg Lee stated that one <strong>of</strong> therequirements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) permit is that an annual meeting must be held to update the <strong>City</strong>Council and to allow the public to make oral and/or written comments on theadequacy <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP).Although it is not required, this meeting has been advertised in the <strong>City</strong>’s <strong>of</strong>ficialnewspaper and after a presentation by <strong>City</strong> staff, the <strong>City</strong> Council should ask forany public questions or comments.Mr. Lee stated our land and water resources ultimately depend on the replenishingwaters <strong>of</strong> annual precipitation. In an unaltered situation this precipitation islargely absorbed into the ground. This leaves soil, for the most part, in place andgives bacteria and other mechanisms an opportunity to break down materialsdeposited on the land. However, when this precipitation falls on impervioussurfaces such as streets, parking lots or ro<strong>of</strong>tops this slow process is shortcircuited.Under these circumstances stormwater becomes more <strong>of</strong> a fire hosethan a drip percolator. Large quantities <strong>of</strong> sediment, along with the oils, chemicalsand litter <strong>of</strong> human activity, are swept into nearby water bodies, contributing witheach rainfall to the degradation <strong>of</strong> water quality within those lakes, streams andwetlands.Mr. Lee stated the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) StormwaterProgram is designed to reduce the pollution and damage caused by stormwater27 <strong>of</strong> 360

Minnesota regulatesthe disposal <strong>of</strong> stormwater through State Disposal System (SDS) permits. TheMPCA issues combined NPDES/SDS permits for construction sites, industrialfacilities and municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). As <strong>of</strong> March2003<strong>Anoka</strong>, along with over 200 similarly classed entities, began operating underits own stormwater discharge permit.Mr. Lee shared highlights and upcoming challenges for the <strong>City</strong>, as well asprovisions <strong>of</strong> the permit that require that over its 5-year life we address thefollowing minimum control measures:• Public Education & Outreach• Public Involvement & Participation• Illicit discharge detection & elimination• Construction site stormwater controls• Post construction stormwater management for new development &redevelopment• Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operationsMayor Rice said stormwater pollution prevention is a very big task and that manyhours go into protecting our waters.Mayor Rice opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m.Mr. Cruikshank noted cities will need to incorporate the new rules as well andthat we will be having worksession to further discuss this topic.Mr. Lee said the rules go into effect August 1 and will be more stringent withregard to monitoring.Councilmember Freeburg asked when enough is enough, as we cannot keepmoving the standard without increased costs.Mayor Rice said that with the street renewal program (SRP) we constructstormwater structures by Kings Island and others and that they have to beimproved, as they are inferior.Mr. Cruikshank said this is really a rhetorical question, as cities are not allowedan opinion because these are mandates, such as the requirement <strong>of</strong> more raingardens.Councilmember Freeburg said decreasing salt usage during the winter will helpwith water quality.28 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 8 <strong>of</strong> 32Mr. Cruikshank agreed, stating it is a balancing act.Councilmember Weaver said that anyone who uses any river will attest that theyare much cleaner as in years past and that these mandates make a difference,although he agreed that the standards do change <strong>of</strong>ten.Councilmember Anderson said the standard needs to change to address newchallenges such as the invasive Asian carp.Councilmember Schmidt shared the importance <strong>of</strong> not placing grass clippings inthe street as all the fertilizer goes into the water.Mayor Rice agreed, adding there are many ways for proper disposal <strong>of</strong> grassclippings such as placing it back on the lawn.As no one appeared, Mayor Rice closed the public hearing at 7:51 p.m.6.

He said the MetropolitanCouncil had requested that amount be raised to $25 million, however the cost <strong>of</strong> thisadditional coverage would cost $15,000 to $20,000. Sheehy Construction, the generalcontractor for the <strong>Anoka</strong> Station Parking Facility Improvement Project, agreed toincrease insurance coverage to $11 million - $1million for a Primary General Liabilitypolicy ($2M Aggregate) and $10 million for an Umbrella policy, at no additional cost tothe <strong>City</strong>.6.1 Approved Verified Bills.6.2 Revising and Setting Council Calendars.6.3 Issuance <strong>of</strong> Massage Therapist License; Bernadette Lindberg at <strong>Anoka</strong> Massage& Pain Therapy.6.4 Issuance <strong>of</strong> Massage Therapist License; Elisabeth Turner at <strong>Anoka</strong> Massage &Pain Therapy.29 <strong>of</strong> 360

Chair Nelson said they have been working on these trails for manyyears and while they still have a lot <strong>of</strong> trail to go they will continue.Councilmember Weaver asked if the Board has looked at ways for bicyclists toget to the ballfield as there are not many sidewalks. Chair Nelson said they havehad those conversations about getting a paved trail by the library closer to thefield and high school. He said it would be nice to have as a gateway to thecommunity but noted the cost is $25/linear foot.Councilmember Freeburg inquired about the biking industry’s encouragement <strong>of</strong>safety rules and abiding by the same the traffic laws as motorists. Chair Nelsonexplained that bicyclists have to obey street signs and while many do not,motorists have to yield to them no matter what. He said he is not sure <strong>of</strong> any pushfor safety among bicycle retailers but said there are groups who do.Chair Nelson outlined planning priorities including the West Rum River Trailalignment, dog park, athletic field use review, Riverfront Park, Kings Island,<strong>Anoka</strong> Nature Preserve Trail Head, and <strong>Anoka</strong> Station. He said not everyone’sneeds will be met but the planning process works well with the HeritagePreservation Commission (HPC), Planning Commission and others forassessment and branding. He said we knew where we wanted to go and includedthese goals in the Comprehensive Plan, which allowed for a process to besuccessful on improving the quality <strong>of</strong> life in <strong>Anoka</strong>.Mayor Rice shared the Council’s thanks to Chair Nelson and the entireCommission for their great work.Councilmember Weaver said it is phenomenal to see the scope and number <strong>of</strong>projects the Commission is working on.Chair Nelson referred to the proposed golf course project and disappointment thatit did not happen, stating if a process had been in place it could have worked. Hesaid while the process took us on a different course there are many other thingswe can be proud <strong>of</strong>.Councilmember Freeburg said the USGA’s preserving <strong>of</strong> wildlife is important,adding animals proliferate on courses.Mayor Rice said the importance <strong>of</strong> this planning resulted in us paying attention tothe bigger picture.Chair Nelson complimented the Council on the <strong>City</strong>’s website, stating having theCouncil’s goals easily available has helped the Commission keep them focused.31 <strong>of</strong> 360

Heritage Preservation Commission.7.2.A. RES/Appeal <strong>of</strong> Exterior Materials in the Historic Downtown Core District,231 E. Main Street, Wayne MelocheRESOLUTIONAssociate Planner Crystal Paumen stated Wayne Meloche, owner <strong>of</strong> thebuilding at 231 E. Main Street, has submitted an appeal <strong>of</strong> exteriormaterials. The code allows for an owner to appeal and request review bythe Heritage Preservation Commission and Planning Commission whomay recommend modifications to the requirements <strong>of</strong> the HistoricDowntown Core District and the <strong>City</strong> Council may approve suchmodifications upon determining that the proposed architectural design orexterior façade material(s) meets all <strong>of</strong> the following conditions:1) The proposed design or material is consistent with the purposes <strong>of</strong> theregulations <strong>of</strong> the Historic Downtown Core District.2) The proposed design or material would enhance the architecturalappearance <strong>of</strong> the building, and would be equal or superior to designs ormaterials permitted in the Historic Downtown Core District.3) The proposed design or material would be in harmony with thecharacter <strong>of</strong> adjacent buildings and the surrounding district.Ms. Paumen shared that the property is located in the Historic DowntownCore District. The property owner had removed 60 lineal feet <strong>of</strong> stuccothat was on the east side <strong>of</strong> the building because it had failed and wasfalling <strong>of</strong>f. The owner had wanted to replace the damaged stucco with newstucco, but the <strong>City</strong> Code requires that if 50% or more <strong>of</strong> the facade isremoved for any reason, the entire facade must comply with the exteriormaterial requirements. The entire east wall is 79 lineal feet, resulting in76% removed.The applicant is proposing to cover the entire east wall, which is concreteblock and stucco with an acrylic like coating called “Dryvit," a popularEIFS brand. Specifically, the applicant proposes a Dryvit Custom BrickSystem. Stucco or Exterior Finish Insulation System (EFIS) is notpermitted in the Historic Downtown Core District and therefore theproperty owner has requested an appeal. The permitted materials in theHistoric Downtown Core District are brick, stone, decorative masonry, orother similar materials on building façades that can be viewed from apublic street.The Planning Commission reviewed the application on June 4, <strong>2013</strong> andrecommended to deny the request 4-2 based on the proposed material is32 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 12 <strong>of</strong> 32not equal or superior to the design or materials permitted in the district.The Heritage Preservation Commission held a public hearing on June 11,<strong>2013</strong> and recommended to deny the request 5-2. The HeritagePreservation Commission discussed the proposed material and suggestedthe applicant consider using as brick or stone veneer to accommodate thenarrow working space between the building and the property line.Wayne Meloche thanked the Council for hearing appeal and for Ms.Paumen for her assistance in this matter. He apologized for not being ableto answer all the questions for the Planning Commission. He introducedScott Swanson, Vice President <strong>of</strong> Signature Studios, stating his firm hadcompleted the Peterson Shoes building. He explained the benefits <strong>of</strong> theproposed material but noted he mistakenly wanted it to have a brick lookand shared a sample. Mr. Meloche said brick seemed to be the problem asit was on a plane without the bricks, although he thought they would looknice. He said they could even do different colors <strong>of</strong> bricks as he wants tohave the cement blocks covered with something thin. Mr. Meloche saidhe believed this is a good and durable product.Councilmember Anderson inquired about the thickness <strong>of</strong> the material.Mr. Meloche referred to a former bakery next to his former hardwarestore, which was extremely close in proximity that had the original stucco,which is a lot line concern.Councilmember Weaver said there are many buildings that are not blockwalls but are several courses <strong>of</strong> brick. He said this wall looks like theouter layer <strong>of</strong> brick was removed as may have had issues before and waspieced together with pavers. Mr. Meloche said this was done prior to histaking ownership.Councilmember Weaver said this area is very exposed.Councilmember Freeburg said a survey is needed to define the exactproperty line to make sure there is enough room for improvements. Ms.Paumen said this was suggested by the HPC, stating they know the two 2buildings are close but they do not know by how much. She said if theDry-vit is not approved they should get survey.Councilmember Weaver said there already exists wainscot <strong>of</strong> tight brickso other avenues could be explored. He said you would just be filling inthe void <strong>of</strong> removed material and that this is just a façade <strong>of</strong> paver blocks.Councilmember Schmidt referred to the Isringhausen building inSpringfield Illinois that contains product that looks just like brick and thathe did not see the difference.33 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 13 <strong>of</strong> 32Mayor Rice agreed this is a beautiful product but said it is not brick and isnot the same quality. He said this is the point <strong>of</strong> our ordinance.Councilmember Weaver agreed, stating others have renovated buildingsand replaced with real brick. He said the Planning Commission said itbest that once it is allowed we will have a fake historical town. He saidwhile he wants to see the project he will follow the HPC and PlanningCommission recommendations.Councilmember Freeburg referred to a project with Sandy Peterson thatincluded material 12 feet <strong>of</strong>f the ground and was not subject to salt andtraffic. He said if this product is nicked or dinged it will look bad.Motion by Councilmember Anderson, seconded by CouncilmemberFreeburg, to adopt a resolution follow the recommendations <strong>of</strong> theHeritage Preservation Commission and Planning Commission and denythe appeal <strong>of</strong> exterior materials at 231 E.

RES/Comprehensive Plan Land Use Amendment; 3201 and 3215 RoundLake Boulevard.RESOLUTIONMs. Paumen stated the <strong>City</strong> has received an application for aComprehensive Plan Land Use Map Amendment. The 1.3-acre piece <strong>of</strong>land is categorized as Limited Commercial on the 2030 ComprehensivePlan Land Use map. The current development proposal includes a 4,025square foot car wash building and 2,100 square foot retail building. A2030 Comprehensive Plan amendment is required to change the land usedesignation in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan from Limited Commercial toGeneral Commercial to be consistent with the proposed use and B-1Highway Business zoning classification. State Statute requires a <strong>City</strong>’sComprehensive Plan to be consistent with the zoning map.The GC – General Commercial category in the comprehensive Plan isdesigned to accommodate a wide range <strong>of</strong> auto-oriented services such assit-down restaurants, convenience restaurants, hotels, retail uses,combined warehouse/retail uses, <strong>of</strong>fice uses, automotive sales, service andgas, and specialized service businesses that are convenient to the motorist.Based on the information provided, the proposed land use classification isconsistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plans criteria for land use andeconomic development goals and implementation.34 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 14 <strong>of</strong> 32The Planning Commission held a public hearing for this item on June 4,<strong>2013</strong> and recommended approval <strong>of</strong> the proposed amendment.Councilmember Weaver said this request will likely be approved but notedthere are some residents that are not pleased with this development andmore discussion will follow.Councilmember Schmidt said it is a difficult lot to utilize with the trafficand access so while he looks forward to hearing more from the oppositionthis could be the best use for this site.Councilmember Weaver agreed but said there may be some changesneeded in the site plan to address these concerns and make it morepalatable. He said this request resulted from two single-family homesbeing in disrepair and then the market decreasing so it is good to see someinterest in this property. He said it is important to make sure the applicantis a good neighbor to the residents to the west.Brad Dunn, applicant, said he has been working with the neighbors fromtownhome association to the west and believes he is being a goodneighbor. He said their operation will be hard to see from the homes asthere will be two layers <strong>of</strong> fence and landscaping <strong>of</strong> junipers with nowindows to the back. He said the structure will not be tall and that asound study has been conducted. Mr. Dunn said they had significantsupport at the Planning Commission meeting and that they will continue towork and listen to the concerns. He said the only difference made was inthe amount <strong>of</strong> trees on the north side for screening.Motion by Councilmember Weaver, seconded by CouncilmemberSchmidt, to adopt a resolution amending the 2030 General Land Use Mapto change the land use for land legally described below from LimitedCommercial to General Commercial to allow for the construction <strong>of</strong> a carwash and retail building.Upon a roll call vote: Mayor Rice, Councilmembers Anderson, Freeburg,Schmidt, and Weaver voted in favor. Motion carried.7.3.B. ORD/Rezoning to B-1 Highway Business; 3201 and 3215 Round LakeBoulevard.(1 st Reading)Ms. Paumen stated the applicant has requested an <strong>of</strong>ficial zoning mapamendment to approximately 1.3 acres <strong>of</strong> property located at 3201 and3215 Round Lake Boulevard. The property is currently zoned B-4 LimitedBusiness. The rezoning request would change the zoning to B-1 Highway35 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 15 <strong>of</strong> 32Business. The property has been zoned as commercial since 1999. Thisland is currently vacant. Two single family homes were once located onthe lots, but have been demolished. A site plan with variances wasapproved for these two properties in 1999 and again in 2007, but thedevelopment did not occur for unknown reasons. The current developmentproposal includes a 4,025 square foot car wash building and 2,100 squarefoot retail building. The main difference between the B-1 and B-4 districtsis that automobile service is not a permitted use in the B-4 district.The site is located along Round Lake Boulevard. Traffic counts on RoundLake Boulevard according to 2008 MnDOT data are 37,500 trips per day.Other locations where B-1 zoning is located include East River Road andHighway 10, and farther north on Round Lake Boulevard, which havesimilar high counts <strong>of</strong> traffic. The proposed zoning district will permituses that will serve the local neighborhood, the community and the 37,500daily traffic tips that occur. Given the traffic counts, its current B-4Limited Business zoning district or even a residential zoning district is notthe highest and best use <strong>of</strong> the property adjacent to Round LakeBoulevard. Any use located on this site is required to obtain a conditionaluse permit because it is adjacent to residential.Ordinance regulations and review procedures have been put in place tomitigate adverse impacts on adjacent properties, which have beenaddressed in the site plan. The Planning Commission held a publichearing for this item on June 4th, <strong>2013</strong> and unanimously recommendedapproval <strong>of</strong> the amendment. The Planning Commission recommended thatif the initiation <strong>of</strong> construction is not started within one year and the siteplan approval expires, the property should be rezoned to B-4 LimitedBusiness.Mayor Rice said the zoning difference in B-1 and B-4 is compatible withsurrounding uses, such as a busy street, and is more restrictive in B-1. Ms.Paumen said the zoning does not include automobile uses as other zoningdesignations.Motion by Councilmember Anderson, seconded by CouncilmemberFreeburg, to hold first reading <strong>of</strong> an ordinance rezoning to B-1 HighwayBusiness; 3201 and 3215 Round Lake Boulevard.Councilmember Schmidt inquired about the difference with regard to aconditional use permit and if one would be required. Ms. Paumen saidbecause this site is adjacent to residential both would require CUPs.Pat Worth Peterson, 3226 16 th Avenue, said she is concerned that therequest is being approved because <strong>of</strong> the Comprehensive Plan approvalalready. Mayor Rice said the Comp Plan does not change their plan butthe zoning would for use <strong>of</strong> the property.36 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 16 <strong>of</strong> 32Valerie McNamara, 13284 Vintage Street, Coon Rapids, said the reason itwas zoned from B-4 to B-1 will decrease the value to her home, result inextra traffic for a car wash, and impact drive time, views, noise to thebackyards with car doors slamming. She said B-4 would be restricted toauto use.Mayor Rice said the difference between B-4 and B-1 would not have anyimpact on the value <strong>of</strong> the property as they both involve retail uses.Ms. McNamara said this action would affect her a lot due to the nature <strong>of</strong>the business and hours <strong>of</strong> operation.Ms. Peterson said her home is 20 feet from the lot line and is close towhere the north right-in/right-out will be. She noted how the Countywants handle the access points but said her real concern is that theapplicant is doing the double fence on the north end and is trying toaccommodate the 20-40 Black spruce trees instead. Ms. Peterson said sheis disappointed to see this changed as the enjoyment <strong>of</strong> her home will beaffected with tremendous noise. She said a car wash is an intrusive use inher backyard and while she understands wanting the land developed shewould prefer <strong>of</strong>fice or retail. Ms. Peterson said if the applicant hascustomers entering right-in and turning left it will cause accidents. Shereferred to the projected hours <strong>of</strong> 7:00 a.m. being too early and that fear <strong>of</strong>rezoning will result in a car mechanic operation potentially. She said shewould prefer to see more south exiting and referred to the berm in thewest. Ms. Peterson said she would prefer more coverage in the north witha berm and trees on top, adding the existing trees will be removed and is25 feet from her bedroom window so the lights will affect her. Shesuggested using the south entrance for exiting too as it will help with thenoise levels and safety accesses.Councilmember Schmidt requested to see a circulation map. Ms. Paumenshared the site plan that outlined both access points, stating the northaccess is a full access and the southern one would be a right-in/right-out.Upon a roll call vote: Mayor Rice, Councilmembers Anderson, andFreeburg voted in favor. Councilmembers Schmidt and Weaver votednay. Motion carried.7.3.C. RES/Site Plan, Conditional Use Permit, Variance; 3201 and 3215 RoundLake Boulevard.RESOLUTIONMs. Paumen stated the <strong>City</strong> has received an application for a site plan,conditional use permit and variance for the property located at 3201 &37 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 17 <strong>of</strong> 323215 Round Lake Boulevard. The development proposal includes a 1-story 2,100 square foot retail building on Parcel A (northern building);4,025 square foot car wash building on Parcel B (southern building). TheDeveloper has an operator for the car wash and does not have a tenant forthe retail building, but is marketing it for a small fast food restaurant (i.e.,c<strong>of</strong>fee, sandwich, yogurt, etc.)Site PlanThe buildings will consist <strong>of</strong> precast walls with color stucco accents andcanvas awnings. The retail building is 20 feet at the highest point, which isviewed from the west elevation to accentuate the retail entrance; most <strong>of</strong>the building is 14 feet tall. The car wash is 20 feet tall at the north andsouth ends <strong>of</strong> the building with the remaining height <strong>of</strong> 14 feet.The site will have two accesses <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Round Lake Boulevard/CountyRoad 9, which has been reviewed and approved by <strong>Anoka</strong> CountyHighway Department. The property is screened and landscaped withdeciduous and evergreen trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennials asshown on the landscape plan. An amended landscaping plan showingmore Spruce trees on the north side <strong>of</strong> the property has been submitted perthe request <strong>of</strong> the Planning Commission. The applicant has provided the<strong>City</strong> with a summary report for car wash noise control. Based on therecommendations <strong>of</strong> the engineering group ESI Engineering, thedeveloper will be installing perforated acoustical panels on the interiorwest and south walls <strong>of</strong> the car wash drying room, and the exterior barrierwall, which extends 14 feet beyond the building footprint. The car washbuilding has an additional 500 square feet added to the south side <strong>of</strong> thebuilding to contain most <strong>of</strong> the blower noise within the enclosed building.The car wash and retail facility hours <strong>of</strong> operations will be within thehours allowed by Code, 7am to 10pm, as a condition <strong>of</strong> approvalrecommended by the Planning Commission.Conditional Use Permit<strong>Anoka</strong> <strong>City</strong> Code requires any structure constructed in a B-1 HighwayBusiness adjacent to a residential district to obtain a Conditional UsePermit. The reason for this is to control activity on a site that is adjacent toresidential property. The conditional use permit requirements have beenanalyzed in the site plan review and the proposal meets all therequirements with the conditions <strong>of</strong> approval outlined in proposedresolution.VarianceA variance request has been made to reduce the west side yard setbackfrom 30 feet to 22 feet and the south side yard setback form 30 feet to 24feet. The site is 150 feet wide at the north property line and 140 feet at thesouth property line creating a long and narrow site to develop. The intent38 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 18 <strong>of</strong> 32<strong>of</strong> the maximum setbacks in the B-1 district is to apply appropriatesetbacks between residential and commercial buildings that are permittedto a maximum height <strong>of</strong> 40 feet. The Planning Commission finds thevariance to be reasonable and meets the findings as outlined in the <strong>City</strong>Code and Planning Commission staff report.The Planning Commission held a public hearing for this item on June 4,<strong>2013</strong> and recommended approval <strong>of</strong> the proposal. The PlanningCommission discussed in detail the proposed landscaping plan and viewsfrom the adjacent townhomes. Ambient noise from Round Lake Boulevardwas a concern from the public, however, most felt that the developmentwould be an improvement to buffer and absorb some <strong>of</strong> the noise currentlyattributed to the high traffic volumes on Round Lake Boulevard.Councilmember Weaver asked for clarification on fencing and screening.Mr. Dunn said the second fence was never going to be on the entireproperty as his intent was to replace the west line fence with thetownhome association’s as the north line was just replaced. He said thefence was going to be a staggered pattern and will replace the entire westside with another fence on the south side. Mr. Dunn stated that he had nointention <strong>of</strong> removing the larger trees by the Association as they willcomplement the existing Black Hills spruce, although he intends toremove the lilacs. He said he is amenable to making this project the bestpossible on the north side, adding that his building cannot be seen from thewest side. Mr. Dunn noted the sound in the yards will be no louder as italready is because the decks are on the south side and the north sidealready has over 80 decibels <strong>of</strong> noise due to the traffic. He said they willinclude proper acoustic insulation to help block the sound as well as takingdirection from the last Planning Commission meeting by adding moretrees.Mayor Rice verified that the existing trees on the northwest corner willremain. Mr. Dunn said he had agreed to replace the fence, noting there isnot much elevation <strong>of</strong> berm on the north end and that additional treescould be added. He said there could be some drainage issues and that theycould have rain gardens in the north corner, adding there are no windowson the back side <strong>of</strong> the carwash.Mayor Rice inquired about the hours <strong>of</strong> operation. Mr. Dunn said theirhours will be from 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m., which is the maximum timeallowed for operation.Mayor Rice asked about the space on the northwest corner and noted thatspruce trees need enough sunlight. Mr. Dunn said they had not proposedall spruce trees but just needed more coverage. He said that most <strong>of</strong> thelandscape on the north side can remain and that they can prune the trees on39 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 19 <strong>of</strong> 32the south to give enough light for the spruces, adding that as larger treesdie the spruce will grow and become a nicer screen. He said he believesthat for this reason these are the correct type <strong>of</strong> tree for the area.Councilmember Weaver referred to the neighbor’s concerns aboutlighting. Mr. Dunn said he does not believe there will be any lightingconcerns as the 18-foot high light is designed not to exceed the boundarylines and will have a shield.Councilmember Weaver inquired about the gaps in fencing and that thereis none on the north. Mr. Dunn said they will replace the existing fence onthe west side with a continual fence and that the second fence will consist<strong>of</strong> a 12-foot fence and 12-foot junipers to be more decorative and set uphigher on the west side.Councilmember Weaver inquired about the proposed signage. Ms.Paumen said the signage will be six feet tall and focused on Round LakeBoulevard.Councilmember Schmidt referred to the modification on the south end <strong>of</strong>the building to enclose the blower. Ryan Scout, ESI Engineering, said thisaspect was already in the design to have a barrier wall <strong>of</strong> 14 feet wide tocompletely block the blower along with perforated acoustic panels.Mr. Dunn said they also looked at the vacuum noise. Mr. Scout said thenortheast side and the parking areas up to the building will not have adirect line <strong>of</strong> noise. He said during noise testing <strong>of</strong> other car washes thenoise levels never exceeded a daytime use <strong>of</strong> between L50 60 dba and L1065 dba. He noted that these levels will only occur during hours <strong>of</strong>operation and not overnight.Councilmember Schmidt noted that current traffic levels are 80 dba. Mr.Scout said that in certain areas that is correct, adding that they made themeasurement by Round Lake Boulevard and that it was 60 with theAndover traffic side being worse. He said they have mitigated the noiseso as to not exceed the ordinance.Mayor Rice inquired how an additional two decibels <strong>of</strong> sound will affectthe noise levels. Mr. Scout explained that while it will add to the level it isactually the individual frequencies that add. He said the noise level willnot increase but you will hear two different things.Mr. Cruikshank asked if the applicant had established a baselinemeasurement. Mr. Dunn said they set a not to exceed decibels range andthat they will not use blowers that exceed the recommended levels. He40 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 20 <strong>of</strong> 32said they are trying to be a friendly neighbor and have seen some satisfiedresponses from some <strong>of</strong> the neighbors.Mayor Rice said the two sound makers are the vacuums and the blowersand asked if they are being directed out the door. Mr. Scout said if thesound was coming straight out it would be louder but vacuums arehemispherical and the blowers will send more noise toward the Andoverside 100 feet away because the noise is reflecting <strong>of</strong>f another surface.Mayor Rice said there are several hours <strong>of</strong> each day that does not matchthe sound <strong>of</strong> the road. Mr. Scout said we measured during the leastamount <strong>of</strong> noise from the traffic so the result is that this will be probablyquieter than other times <strong>of</strong> day.Mayor Rice noted the lighting can be directed to not spill over intoneighboring houses.Ms. Peterson said she is concerned about the lights and asked if customerswill be allowed to drive into the north entrance and exit. Mayor Rice saidthis is a County decision and that the driver will most likely do the rightin/right-out,adding the left turn will be more difficult so drivers mostlikely will not do it.Ms. Peterson asked if the applicant will not be doubling the fence on thenorth end due to the spruce trees. Mayor Rice said no that due to the plansit will be a privacy fence.Councilmember Schmidt said the applicant will retain as many existingtrees as possible. Ms. Peterson noted these are not very healthy trees.Councilmember Freeburg said the trees may become healthier oncepruned. Mr. Scout said the area contains Boxelder trees and others but doprovide screening so they will likely keep them and add to them with thespruce trees. He agreed that corrective pruning may help a little.Councilmember Freeburg said he visits the Mr. Car Wash location on EastRiver Road and that their operation doesn’t seem loud, adding Mr. Dunn’swill likely be technologically better.Councilmember Schmidt said the outside vacuums will have a building inbetween. Mr. Dunn said there are vacuums on the front but not right nextto property line, which will help with the noise concerns.Mr. Scout said they had measured sound at another car wash and placedthose figures into the calculations to meet the criteria.41 <strong>of</strong> 360

The <strong>City</strong>Council acted on this matter on <strong>July</strong> 18, 2011. Subsequently, Austin Grovesubstantially re-wrote the easement but without changing the essential content.Therefore, staff is bringing this back for your additional action. The easement issubject to termination one year from the date <strong>of</strong> this agreement or by mutualagreement or if and when Alliant Techsystems Inc. purchases the Austin GroveLLC property and requests a building permit for construction <strong>of</strong> an addition ontothe existing building and concurrently completes a property exchange with the<strong>City</strong> which provides for a public street to be constructed around the north end <strong>of</strong>the expanded building, whichever comes first. The one-year termination sets adeadline for completion <strong>of</strong> a development agreement that presumably wouldextend the timeframe forward but still tied to the expansion and road location andconstruction.Councilmember Freeburg asked what this will affect. Mr. Kirchner said this willnot trigger anything in Greenhaven but the interest <strong>of</strong> the parties there anticipatedthe developer would trigger the exchange that they will need the road behind thebuilding for the truck docking. He said we both have an interest for a routearound the building and this will provide for a new connection point at Thurston.Mr. Kirchner said we need to maintain connection with the existing point <strong>of</strong>Thurston so these cross easements won’t require road connections, adding the43 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 23 <strong>of</strong> 32development agreement won’t either but will provide for a public way around thebuilding only. He said these two easements take care <strong>of</strong> what we have been doingfor two years already.Mayor Rice said when ATK was looking and negotiating I was disappointed thatthis easement would go away as it would be nice to use these sites when Enivadivided the property. He said that although we were happy to sacrifice theroadway we wanted them to stay in <strong>Anoka</strong> so could their uses be served by thoseother sites. Mr. Kirchner said in a competitive situation the feasibility <strong>of</strong> theremote building was not great.Jim Pursuant, Federal Cartridge, asked if we expand on the site will that removethe road on <strong>City</strong> property. He said the expansion does not have to go over thatproperty, adding two years ago we chose a place and we have used the buildingsince. He said how we can use it is not a solid plan so the possibility that thiswould stay <strong>City</strong> property is good. He noted they may need some realignment butthat at this point they have no plans to expand the building.Mayor Rice said he is pleased to hear that as this could be beautiful campus typesetting. Mr. Pursuant said if we need expansion the buildings would be connectedas the transfer <strong>of</strong> materials would be too costly. He said that is what drove the use<strong>of</strong> this facility. He noted the warehouse is pretty empty now due to the currentmarket.Councilmember Schmidt confirmed that Item 9.3 refers to only Outlot C.Motion by Councilmember Weaver, seconded by Councilmember Schmidt, toadopt a resolution authorizing temporary easement agreement for a portion <strong>of</strong>Outlot C, Eniva Addition with Austin Grove LLC.Upon a roll call vote: Mayor Rice, Councilmembers Freeburg, Schmidt, andWeaver voted in favor. Motion carried.9.4 RES/Accepting Right <strong>of</strong> Entry and Temporary Easement from Austin Grove,LLC.RESOLUTIONMr. Kirchner stated this is the companion right <strong>of</strong> entry and easement grantingaccess to the loop road around the ATK Inc. facility. He said access is granted to“the <strong>City</strong> and its employees and contractors and others directly associated with the<strong>City</strong>”. It may be terminated by the completion <strong>of</strong> the property exchange asoutlined in the Memorandum <strong>of</strong> Understanding or by mutual agreement.Councilmember Weaver said this agreement is vague because Condition 5 couldbe open to interpretation and be difficult for the general public if closed. He saidEniva placed a cable across the road and created havoc and that traffic moving on44 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 24 <strong>of</strong> 32Highway 10 at that time at night is not out <strong>of</strong> the industrial park and if Highway10 is blocked the backage road becomes very important.Mayor Rice said he felt there is no misinterpretation as the agreement says Enivacan close the road if they choose. Mayor Rice said barriers are fine but that hedoes not want to see road close.Councilmember Schmidt said there have been discussions about connecting thegolf course with the industrial park and this would be the only hope for that.Councilmember Weaver said there have been discussions years ago about OutlotC and parkway road connecting to Jacob Lane and that they need clarification.Mayor Rice said this does not have to be settled right now because we still ownthe right-<strong>of</strong>-way. He said the <strong>City</strong> wants this firm to be successful and that wewill honor the agreements now and allows easements for the road.Mr. Kirchner said there are no rights to trespass as we own Outlot C. He saidneither <strong>of</strong> us have a right to do what we are doing but this agreement will allowfor that, adding there is a one-year limit and that we will get the developer towork out an agreement for this exchange. He said this is a broader and more openagreement and that it is a good thing we did not have it in place before becausewe need to get it on record the existing practice and then finalize the developmentagreement because we cannot deliver a public access to this area.Mr. Cruikshank suggested amending Condition 5 if the Council has an objection.Mayor Rice said we are allowing this and should expect Austin to be the goodneighbor that they are, adding if they want to change we can discontinue theagreement or build a road so Condition 5 is not a concern.Councilmember Weaver said he is not comfortable with Condition 5 at all andwhile he has a great admiration <strong>of</strong> Federal Cartridge we do not know AustinGrove.Mr. Cruikshank asked if this is a liability issue. Mr. Kirchner said it is a liabilityand maintenance issue but noted it will not be covered in this agreement anyway.He said this refers to encouraging travel, maintenance, and tree trimming alongthe area.Councilmember Weaver said the cable happened because it was allowed.Mr. Pursuant said they can only make a recommendation because they are not theowner but that he does not see a change in terms <strong>of</strong> barriers or chains with signingthe agreement. He said they have concerns so the road is posted as privateproperty because at rush hour it is used as a <strong>City</strong> street and should not be becauseit is unimproved, non-striped, and has no shoulder. He said their recommendation45 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 25 <strong>of</strong> 32is not to open it up for public use because <strong>of</strong> liability issues and when discussedwith their attorney if use is condoned and there is an accident there could be aproblem as it is not designed as a public street. He noted the <strong>City</strong> Attorney hasreviewed the language on the easement and this agreement was a result.Councilmember Weaver asked if it is their intent to close the road. Mr. Pursuantsaid no, their concern is security issues, adding he will not recommend closingeither, adding the easement does not change the road use.Mayor Rice confirmed that they will continue to post this as private property eventhough people do drive on it.Councilmember Weaver inquired about the orange cones placed in the area. Mr.Pursuant said the cones were not placed by them but noted the <strong>City</strong> did plow andtrim the area.Mr. Cruikshank said this is because the <strong>City</strong> wants the road open for emergencyaccess for emergency vehicles so minimal maintenance is conducted.Councilmember Weaver said he will support this based on Mr. Pursuant’s intentbut said he still had some concerns.Motion by Councilmember Schmidt, seconded by Councilmember Freeburg, toadopt a resolution accepting right <strong>of</strong> entry and temporary easement from AustinGrove LLC.Upon a roll call vote: Mayor Rice, Councilmembers Freeburg, Schmidt, andWeaver voted in favor. Motion carried.9.5 RES/CSAH 116/41 st Avenue Extension Road Intersection; Approve FeasibilityLetter Report, Waive Public Improvement Hearing, Order Project and AuthorizePreparation <strong>of</strong> Plans and Specifications (includes South 41 st Avenue ExtensionRoad).RESOLUTIONMr. Lee stated that in 2007, <strong>Anoka</strong> County applied for and received FederalFunds under the Surface Transportation Program (STP) for the expansion <strong>of</strong>County Road 116 (Bunker Lake Boulevard); from County Road 7 (7th Avenue) to38th Avenue. This project included the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> this segment <strong>of</strong> CountyRoad 116 in the cities <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> and Andover to a four-lane divided roadway,construction <strong>of</strong> a separate pedestrian / bicycle trail along the north side andreconstruction <strong>of</strong> the intersection at 7th Avenue; which will include a new trafficsignal, center medians, and channelization. Since this project would restrictexisting and future accesses, the cities <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> and Andover initiated a trafficstudy to demonstrate the need for accesses onto the County system and todetermine where and what type they should be. Given that there is the46 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 26 <strong>of</strong> 32undeveloped property at all four quadrants <strong>of</strong> the Bunker Lake Boulevard/7thAvenue intersection, the study determined future traffic volumes and patternsutilizing the zoning <strong>of</strong> these undeveloped properties.Mr. Lee shared that on October 17, 2011the <strong>City</strong> Council adopted a resolutionapproving a Joint Powers Agreement for the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> County State AidHighway 116 (Bunker Lake Boulevard) from 7th Avenue to 38th Avenue. TheJoint Powers Agreement also established the location <strong>of</strong> future intersections alongCSAH 116 and CSAH 7. He said that in March the <strong>City</strong> received two proposals todevelopment the property north <strong>of</strong> CSAH 116 just west <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Anoka</strong> CountLibrary. In May <strong>of</strong> <strong>2013</strong>, the <strong>City</strong> Council adopted an ordinance to sell thisproperty to Landmark Development <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> LLC.Mr. Lee said the proposed improvements include construction <strong>of</strong> the south looproad (41st Avenue) and the signalized intersection <strong>of</strong> this road with County StateAid Highway 116 (Bunker Lake Boulevard). The estimated project cost, based onthe letter report, is $1,400,000. Funding would be derived from two generalsources, the developer <strong>of</strong> Rum River Shores would contribute $253,000, and theremaining funds would be derived from other <strong>City</strong> sources including the <strong>City</strong>’sStreet Renewal Fund. Mr. Lee shared the project schedule, stating the projectshould be complete by August 29, 2014.Schmidt questioned the timing <strong>of</strong> this request. Mr. Cruikshank said this is notapproved by the developer yet and if the development does not happen we willnot proceed.Mr. Lee said if this request is approved it will bring us to a point but no awardwill be made unless a developer agreement is approved in <strong>July</strong>.Councilmember Weaver said the schedule is bids will be open in August so wewill have firm answers by then. Mr. Cruikshank said that is correct, adding thatMr. Lee is being proactive assuming this will tie with the County project.Councilmember Weaver asked if this action should be subject to development.Mr. Lee said there is no risk to the <strong>City</strong> other than costs <strong>of</strong> creating plans andspecs and that given that the intersection has to be at that location it won’t changeanything. He said they are trying to get the plans quickly so they can be tied withthe County project, similar to the East Main Street project.Mayor Rice said whether this or another developer begins the signal will be hereno matter what. Mr. Lee agreed, stating nothing will occur until August 19.Mr. Cruikshank confirmed that there is no risk to the <strong>City</strong> but that this is just atiming issue along with the south side loop road timing.47 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 27 <strong>of</strong> 32Mr. Lee said the intersection with Bunker Lake Boulevard would happen at thesame time and that the south loop road will be done in the spring <strong>of</strong> 2014, and ifthe north side develops it ties right in.Mr. Cruikshank asked how the high school traffic will connect onto 41 st Avenue.Mr. Lee noted how the traffic will connect on a map, noting one road will goaway. He added that they will create a parking lot at the intersection <strong>of</strong> 6 thAvenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard too as they will need an area for a backwashpond.Motion by Councilmember Freeburg, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, toadopt a resolution accepting the feasibility letter report, ordering the project,waiving the public improvement hearing, and authorizing the preparation <strong>of</strong> plansand specifications for the CSAH 116/41st Avenue Extension road and intersectionproject.Upon a roll call vote: Mayor Rice, Councilmembers Freeburg, Schmidt, andWeaver voted in favor.

Motion carried.11.3 Accept Central Business District Parking Study.Mr. Kirchner stated that during the past year staff and interns have conductednumerous parking surveys in the Central Business District (CBD) to determinethe existing parking patterns and parking supply/demand conditions. This reportsummarizes the findings <strong>of</strong> these surveys and provides some recommendations foraddressing parking needs in the future. He said the document and relateddatabases provide a format to monitor parking changes in the CBD over timethrough updated surveys.As the study indicates, there is no parking shortage in the CBD at this time.However, certain demand factors are worth tracking including weekday parking atthe County Government Center and Sandburg Education Center and weekendparking in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> the bar/restaurants on Jackson Street. Concerning the49 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 29 <strong>of</strong> 32reuse <strong>of</strong> Sandburg, related parking demand is emerging and will be a factor infuture redevelopment in the South Central Business District currently under study.Councilmember Schmidt said the report contains some short-termrecommendations and while he is not sure who will follow up there arerecommendations regarding lighting on the school and <strong>City</strong> lots on the south side<strong>of</strong> Monroe, review <strong>of</strong> permit fees, and the Wells Fargo drive-in lot so hecautioned that we don’t let the document die.Councilmember Weaver said the Historic Rum River District (HRRD) and otherscontinue to develop cautiously and when parking is full downtown and lots areoverflowing onto the streets to the feed mill future staff and Council will havemore in-depth discussions.Councilmember Anderson inquired about the proposed parking in Map 4, addinghe is concerned about the lack <strong>of</strong> handicapped parking. Mr. Kirchner said thisarea is existing parking and is correct for on street parking.Councilmember Schmidt said this exposes some underutilization too such as inthe Walker ramp.Councilmember Weaver said this occurs because the parking is hidden.Councilmember Freeburg said this area is perceived as private parking.Councilmember Weaver said it is because <strong>of</strong> the older design for larger trucks.Mr. Kirchner noted that there is not much demand on that side and that this usedto be contract parking.Councilmember Weaver said that since this is Mr. Kirchner’s last meeting heshould share some <strong>of</strong> his thoughts from the last 35 years.Mr. Kirchner said it has been a pleasure working with this Council because <strong>of</strong>their businesslike approach and camaraderie as well as the Mayor’s approach toleadership. He shared that he has worked with seven Mayors and 15 otherCouncilmembers, which is actually very few for over the 35 years he has beenhere. He said they have accomplished a lot by being stable and staying on task.Councilmember Weaver asked Mr. Kirchner to share about some <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong>’sbiggest developments. Mr. Kirchner shared some thoughts and history onEnterprise Park and its impact that is still yet to be fully measured; diversification<strong>of</strong> Divesco from 3 to 70 manufacturers and the tax base and jobs that werecreated; the ripple effect as revenues helped make Riverspointe happen that set apattern and tone for upper end housing in <strong>Anoka</strong>; the revenue that rolled to theproperty north <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> Hall and is still building out today as well as parks such asPen Point and the downtown ramps. He said all <strong>of</strong> these projects created a50 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 30 <strong>of</strong> 32tremendous financial impact and improved the quality <strong>of</strong> life. He shared hisappreciation for the three good <strong>City</strong> Managers that he has worked with and wholed the staff well and that he is looking forward to seeing many former co-workersnext week.Mr. Cruikshank said there will be a farewell event for Mr. Kirchner on June 27 at3:00 p.m. at <strong>City</strong> Hall.Councilmember Freeburg shared that he had met Mr. Kirchner through his fatherand the businesses on the river when a grand development plan was shared,adding the area is now finally redeveloped.Councilmember Weaver referred to how long Riverspointe took and how it finallyfit with the VOA being completed.Mr. Kirchner said stable Councils help with patience, adding he was neverinvolved in an adversarial eminent domain, which is amazing considering over 40properties were in a flood plain. He said this is a credit to the philosophy overtime <strong>of</strong> the Councils.Motion by Councilmember Freeburg, seconded by Councilmember Weaver, toaccept the Central Business District Parking Study.Mr. Walker asked why the <strong>City</strong> issues 500 citations each month downtown if wehave plenty <strong>of</strong> parking. Councilmember Freeburg said the citations are issues topeople who visit the courthouse.Mr. Walker said <strong>Anoka</strong> is the County seat and that we should try to accommodatethem instead <strong>of</strong> issuing violations. He noted no other ordinance is violated asmuch.Mayor Rice said there is ample parking for more than 2-3 hours and to havesuccess they have to have a plan. He said if you need eight hours there are areasto park.Mr. Cruikshank said he believes the reason is that the fine is too small and thatpeople are willing to pay that fine in order to park.Mr. Walker referred to Section 74-522 with the exception <strong>of</strong> the B-3 CentralBusiness District. He shared maps <strong>of</strong> exception areas in <strong>Anoka</strong>, including thoseexcused from the parking regulations and absorbed by the taxpayer. He referredto page 12 <strong>of</strong> the study and how 83-percent is owned and maintained by taxpayersso this exception area <strong>of</strong> 105 properties. He said we do not give the courthouse anexception because they are funded by taxpayers and have the capacity to provideparking. Mr. Walker said Red Stone Pizza and the law <strong>of</strong>fices on 4 th and 5 thAvenues are included but have an enormous amount <strong>of</strong> parking so when these51 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 17, <strong>2013</strong> (<strong>Regular</strong>)Page 31 <strong>of</strong> 32areas are removed the result is that the majority if for very few owners. He notedthat 75-percent <strong>of</strong> these properties are owned by three property owners do noteven operate businesses in <strong>Anoka</strong> but are rental landlords; the Weavers, Jensens,and Beckers each have 25-percent while the remaining 25-percent is everyoneelse. Mr. Walker said <strong>Anoka</strong> is subsidizing these three property investors and thatwe have plenty <strong>of</strong> capacity so this is “good old boy” politics.Mayor Rice said this is a problem that Mr. Walker identified but that he feels theproblem is around the County courthouse and that Mr. Walker has not includedthem in his calculations. He asked if he compared ours with other cities withdowntown areas and zero lot lines. Mr. Walker said he did not as his concern is<strong>Anoka</strong>.Councilmember Schmidt said he has no concerns because the entire area wasburned down in 1883. Mr. Walker said he is not referring to the standards in 1883but the standards <strong>of</strong> today.Councilmember Schmidt said <strong>Anoka</strong> was built in 1883 for horse and buggies andthat people like the old downtown area and that they do not want to tear downbuildings for parking.Mr. Walker said he is not proposing that but is pointing out that we have plenty <strong>of</strong>parking.Councilmember Freeburg asked if businesses should buy parking land to rent.Mr. Walker said the Council set a precedent for the Leones for leasing space fordumpsters so we should rent spots to leaders to help alleviate parking pressures.He said there is a self-regulating feature to parking and if you do not provideparking you should not have the business. He said it is not fair to subsidizeparking and leave street parking for customers.Mayor Rice said this is Mr. Walker’s opinion and that there are others, and whilehe does not necessarily object he would suggest policy changes and review onhow businesses contribute to this too as we need to make fair comparisons.Mr. Walker said the rules should apply to everyone.Mr. Cruikshank said we already give the downtown businesses the opportunity tocontribute to the system through having employees purchase parking permits.Mr. Walker said the code provides for parking for both the employee and thecustomer.Mr. Cruikshank said their discussion with Mr. Leone was due to the lease and ifhe had not signed the lease we would have placed the signs and towed.Mr. Walker said this is because the taxpayers are funding 1,100 stalls.52 <strong>of</strong> 360

COUNCIL BUSINESS and/or DISCUSSION ITEMS3.1 Discussion; RFP 1632 S. Ferry Street.Mayor Pro Tem Anderson explained that this is a worksession and while theCouncil will listen to presentations there will be no formal decision made at thismeeting.Planning Director Carolyn Braun stated that at the last Council worksession, theCouncil discussed the disposition <strong>of</strong> the city-owned property at 1632 South FerryStreet. The outcome <strong>of</strong> that discussion was to direct staff to prepare a Request forProposal for nonresidential uses <strong>of</strong> the parcel as a way to explore alternative uses<strong>of</strong> the site. The property can also be used as it has been used in the past - for asingle-family residential property. If an acceptable non-residential use is notidentified, the Council also has the option to sell it for that purpose.Concurrently, the Planning Commission has been developing language for a newzoning district along the east side <strong>of</strong> South Ferry Street, from Main Street to theMississippi River. The currently proposed language recognizes the potential fornon-residential uses <strong>of</strong> the property.Staff shared a draft <strong>of</strong> the Request for Proposal (RFP) to 1632 South Ferry Street,also known as the Woodbury House property, noting that technical items that willbe included in the RFP appendix were not included in the packet.54 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 11Councilmember Schmidt stated that he believed the RFP to be robust and shouldfoster additional questions from interested parties.Councilmember Weaver stated that while he will abstain from the discussion, hedid review the RFP and believed it to be complete. He was pleased to see thenumber <strong>of</strong> people in attendance at the meeting tonight and stated the more interestin the property the better it would be.Councilmember Freeburg questioned if a sign for sale or lease could be placed onthe property because <strong>of</strong> the high amount <strong>of</strong> passing traffic. He questioned if abroker should be hired to list and market the property.Councilmember Schmidt stated that he would like to see the complete packageready before that occurs to determine if a broker would be interested.Mayor Pro Tem Anderson welcomed comments from the public.Leah Johnson, 201 Jackson Street, addressed the Council and stated that while the<strong>City</strong> has places to celebrate casual events the <strong>City</strong> is missing a place for a moreupscale or formal event. She stated that she has been working on her idea formore than two years and when she proposed the idea to outside investors she hasbeen denied because investors believe that the idea <strong>of</strong> upscale dining would notsucceed in <strong>Anoka</strong>. She commented that perhaps this would be the opportunity forthe <strong>City</strong> to assist in proving these people wrong. She referenced the cosmeticimprovements the <strong>City</strong> has invested in recently and believed that this would bethe time to add an upscale dining option as well, rather than watching thosedollars leave the <strong>City</strong> when customers take their business outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong>. Shestated that this is a well-known house and this is a great opportunity to thinkoutside <strong>of</strong> the box. She referenced the parking situation and noted that the <strong>City</strong>currently owns the Carpenters’ Hall and could convert that into a parking area,advising that she would <strong>of</strong>fer valet parking. She advised <strong>of</strong> outside events, suchas weddings, that could occur on the property. She noted that her menu wouldincorporate 50 percent resident submitted recipes that the head chef would put hisown twist on it.Mayor Rice arrived at 5:25 p.m.Steve Johnson, 201 Jackson Street, believed that this would be a good opportunityto utilize this property. He provided financial information on their proposal andbelieved that the <strong>City</strong> would make their money back within 18 months. He notedsimilar ideas in other communities and believed that this would be moresuccessful because <strong>of</strong> the river location.Kara Geist, Andover resident, stated that she and her husband <strong>of</strong>ten come to<strong>Anoka</strong> for their entertainment as well as walks along the river. She stated that thistheme comes up a lot, as to a nice place to eat in <strong>Anoka</strong>. She noted that there are55 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 11more young people coming out from Minneapolis and they would love to seevariety in the types <strong>of</strong> dining experiences. She referenced Two Scoops and thelarge volume <strong>of</strong> business they bring in, even with many other options provided inthe area. She stated that she would support this idea.<strong>City</strong> Manager Tim Cruikshank stated that the Council will certainly hear morepresentations in the future but explained that the item tonight is simply in regardto the draft RFP document.Owner <strong>of</strong> Fine Living, stated that he and his wife brought this business into<strong>Anoka</strong> as an opportunity to bring an elevate taste into the <strong>City</strong>. He stated that thiselevated taste is not supported in <strong>Anoka</strong> because the majority <strong>of</strong> downtown iscomposed <strong>of</strong> occasional thrift shops. He stated that while his business was openseven days a week, many <strong>of</strong> the other stores were not. He stated that they havemoved their business to Stillwater and while they hated to leave <strong>Anoka</strong>, that type<strong>of</strong> business was not supported in the <strong>City</strong>.Councilmember Freeburg stated that he has heard that from other business ownersas well, that the lack <strong>of</strong> open businesses has hurt other stores because <strong>of</strong> the lack<strong>of</strong> foot traffic.Owner <strong>of</strong> Fine Living referenced a program they came across in Duluth where the<strong>City</strong> worked with business owners and let people submit ideas, with the <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>of</strong>one-year free rent for the winning ideas.Mr. Cruikshank stated that while there are things the <strong>City</strong> can do to market theproperty and plan for the <strong>City</strong>, there are limitations to what the government role inbusiness should be.Liz Cook, Mad Hatter, stated that she was running reports in preparation for theRFP and advised that her business has had customers from 220 zip codes in thepast year, noting that only accounts for 23 percent <strong>of</strong> her business.Mayor Rice stated that those valuable ideas should be shared with ABLA and theChamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce.Councilmember Anderson stated that he polled some <strong>of</strong> the residents in his areaand found that there is support for a fine dining restaurant at that location. Hereviewed the task <strong>of</strong> the Council for tonight and believed that the RFP shouldmove forward as it is; he also commended Ms. Braun for her work.Council consensus was to direct Planning Director Braun to proceed with theRFP.3.2 Discussion; TIF Districts Spreadsheet.56 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 11Economic Development Manager Erik Thorvig stated that there are currentlyseven TIF districts in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong>. The districts are:<strong>City</strong> Council HRAThurston Corridor (Enterprise Park District)Historic Rum River DistrictSouth Ferry StreetCommuter Rail Transit VillageGreens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong>Riverspointe/Walker PlazaCentral Business DistrictMr. Thorvig shared an update to a spreadsheet the <strong>City</strong> Council first reviewed atthe December 10, 2012 worksession. In general the spreadsheet shows projectedrevenue based on current development in each district. The revenue amountincreases if additional development were to occur. The expenses show existingloans/debt, administrative charges, existing projects that have been funded, andprojects/acquisitions that could be funded. The red line indicates the budgetbased on revenues. Anything below the red line cannot be funded unless revenueis increased through new development or land (assets) is sold that was originallypurchased with funds from the district.Staff would like to discuss the following:• Relationships between districts (<strong>City</strong> Council Enterprise Park and HRRDDistricts; HRA Riverspointe District and <strong>City</strong> Council S. Ferry Street District).• Projected expenses in the CRTV and Greens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> Districts.• General regulations related to the post-1990 TIF Districts.Finance Director Lori Yager provided additional information in regard to therelationships between the different districts, including funds that are committed topaying back the ramp and the electric fund.Councilmember Schmidt confirmed that the funds would be used to repay theelectric and to pay <strong>of</strong>f the debt on the ramp.Ms. Yager stated that the ramp has a high interest rate and the focus has been torepay that debt, otherwise the ramp would have been refinanced in the past.Mr. Cruikshank stated that staff has made some assumptions and proposals, verycautiously.Councilmember Schmidt confirmed that this is simply a proposal.Ms. Yager confirmed that this is a very cautious approach to ensuring that theramp is paid <strong>of</strong>f in full.57 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 11Mr. Cruikshank stated that this is very cautious but it will also afford the <strong>City</strong>with the ability to move ahead with development at their selection rather thanbeing in the position where the <strong>City</strong> must let in whatever development simplybecause they need the funds.Economic Development Director Robert Kirchner explained that this proposalwould be a method to link the old and new districts, noting that those new fundscould then be used with more flexibility.Mr. Thorvig explained the relationship between the HRA Riverspointe Districtand the <strong>City</strong> Council South Ferry Street District.Mr. Cruikshank stated that staff would propose that the HRA work with the <strong>City</strong>Council to improve the South Ferry Street Corridor.Housing Coordinator Berger referenced the two properties owned by the HRAand provided additional information. He stated that while the HRA has a longtermplan for the area he hoped to work with the Council.Councilmember Freeburg stated that if there are not motivated sellers, there is nota lot <strong>of</strong> improvement that could be done in that area.Mr. Cruikshank questioned if staff should continue to work with the propertyowners and wanted to ensure that there was dedicated funding if thoseopportunities present themselves.Councilmember Freeburg stated that there is community support to improve thatarea.Mayor Rice stated that he would like to see the area improved but wanted toensure that the <strong>City</strong> did not lose a lot <strong>of</strong> funds in the process. He recognized thatwhen the <strong>City</strong> purchases property they <strong>of</strong>ten end up paying more than what theycould/should because <strong>of</strong> desire.Mr. Thorvig clarified that all the numbers listed are reasonable numbers in orderto provide a more accurate picture.Pat Walker stated that personally he would not support the HRA selling 1900Ferry Street to build a high rise. He referenced the Ferry and Benton corner anddid not believe that the fourth corner was necessary for redevelopment. He statedthat one option would be to list the property and request RFPs to determine if thefourth property would be needed. He questioned what working together wouldmean as he wanted to ensure that it did not simply mean that the HRA would belosing money.58 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 11Mr. Cruikshank stated that perhaps providing a history <strong>of</strong> working togetherbetween the Council and the HRA would mean.Mr. Kirchner provided a history <strong>of</strong> the TIF districts beginning in 1988. He statedthat at a point the HRA was unable to continue with their funds and noted that the<strong>City</strong> Council stepped in at that time and funded the development at a cost <strong>of</strong>$5,000,000 to $6,000,000. He confirmed that there was never a repayment to theCouncil from the HRA. He stated that the Council also funded the scatteredproperty program. He stated that the Council has financed quite a bit <strong>of</strong> the HRAactivity and it is only because <strong>of</strong> that that the HRA has the ability to generateincome. He stated that in the past this was never structured as a loan but believedin the future some <strong>of</strong> these should be tracked.Merrywayne Elvig stated that her only concern in getting involved would be theavailable area that could be picked up and the type <strong>of</strong> activity that could occur inthat area.Mr. Cruikshank stated that in some <strong>of</strong> those areas there would not be developmentbut noted that there are a few areas that could be redeveloped.Mr. Thorvig identified the pods where redevelopment could occur andacknowledged that there is that strip <strong>of</strong> land that would not be redeveloped.Councilmember Freeburg questioned what would be in place to ensure that atreatment facility could not show up in another area once Riverplace sells out ormoves.Ms. Braun stated that it would need to be within an allowed zoning district butwas unsure <strong>of</strong>fhand where that would be. She stated that the <strong>City</strong> could reviewthe ordinance to determine where the best location would be. She stated thatRiverplace is willing to work with the <strong>City</strong> but they want to relocate.Mr. Cruikshank stated that the <strong>City</strong> simply wants to find the right place for thatbusiness.Mr. Berger stated that the HRA has had some discussion in rehabilitating secondstory locations but noted that not too many have come forward.Mr. Kirchner stated that there are areas within the district where new constructioncould occur. He stated that this district could also be involved with rehabilitationand signage as well.Ms. Yager stated that additional funds, development, would need to occur in orderfor that to happen.59 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 7 <strong>of</strong> 11Mr. Kirchner identified areas where new development could occur and noted thatsome <strong>of</strong> the areas could be used in more than one way with surface parking andsomething built above.Mr. Thorvig discussed the CRTV and Greens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> districts and referencedprojected expenses and redevelopment areas.Councilmember Weaver referenced the Greens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> and noted that there arenewly foreclosed homes. He questioned if those homes should and could beconsidered qualifying homes.Ms. Braun stated that the district would have to be expanded to include thoseproperties.Councilmember Schmidt confirmed that 25 percent <strong>of</strong> those funds could be usedoutside the district.Mr. Thorvig identified the district boundaries. He stated that with additional timeand analysis the district could be expanded. He stated that staff is alsoinvestigating the ability <strong>of</strong> a South Central Business District, but noted that wouldmost likely become an HRA District because <strong>of</strong> their hand in the area. He statedthat this document is fluid and can be amended as necessary.Councilmember Freeburg referenced the old Health Partners site and asked for anupdate.Mr. Berger stated that the clinic is planning to relocate to the new site inSeptember and advised that the HRA is also attempting to acquire the GoodrichPharmacy site.Mr. Cruikshank stated that this document consolidates a lot <strong>of</strong> complicatedthoughts and mechanisms in one fluid plan. He confirmed that while the HRAexpresses support for the ideas they would also like more time to discuss theideas. He noted that the Council and staff will need to know that. He stated thatthe investment in this plan is massive and advised that this is a road plan forredevelopment.Councilmember Weaver commended staff for a magnificent document butbelieved the most important piece <strong>of</strong> information came from the history providedby Mr. Kirchner on how the <strong>City</strong> and HRA got to where they are now. He statedthat when he was on the HRA the budget was miniscule and the relationshipbetween the HRA and the Council helped to bring the HRA to where they arenow. He believed that relationship should continue in the future.Mr. Cruikshank stated that not to be presumptuous but staff will continue downthis path unless they hear differently.60 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 8 <strong>of</strong> 11Mr. Berger stated that he is going to propose a joint worksession in the near futurebetween the Council and HRA.Mayor Rice stated that the HRA and Council share common goals and hebelieved that to be important. He suggested that the HRA meet and discusswhether these are commons goals, as this is a big commitment on both sides. Hestated that if these are commons goals, the two groups can work together andshare funds.Pat Walker questioned what the Council would like to see as a part <strong>of</strong> thedemolition <strong>of</strong> the existing Riverway site, whether the building is removed andsurface parking is left or whether the whole site is demolished.Councilmember Freeburg stated that he would like to see the building demolishedand the parking remain at this point.Councilmember Schmidt explained that while the Council is committed to certainitems on the document, such as the repayment <strong>of</strong> the ramp debt, other items arefluid and can be modified.Mr. Cruikshank agreed that the red line on the document identifies priorities.Ms. Braun stated that there has been a fair amount <strong>of</strong> staff time spent developingthis document.Mr. Kirchner provided additional input on his history with the TIF districts andadvised that even he is still continuing to learn. He stated that there is a benefit tohaving a large portfolio <strong>of</strong> ideas so that the <strong>City</strong> can jump on opportunities whenwilling sellers arise, noting that in all the time he has been with the <strong>City</strong> he hasnever been involved in an adversarial imminent domain.Councilmember Freeburg stated that in his experience he has never had adeveloper or applicant come before the Council and speak negatively <strong>of</strong> the staff,noting that he has only heard positive comments about how cooperative staff hasbeen.Dave Bonthius stated that a citizen <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> it is comforting to see the positiverelationship between staff and the <strong>City</strong> Council.Council consensus was to direct staff to continue to work with property ownersand the HRA.3.3 Discussion; Capital Improvement Plan.61 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 9 <strong>of</strong> 11Finance Director Lori Yager shared that annually the Council and staff review thefive-year capital improvement plan prior to adoption. She shared a draft copy <strong>of</strong>the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) with financial projections.Council is asked to discuss the plan and provide input for changes, additions anddeletions.Councilmember Weaver referenced the expenditures for 2014 related to theCommuter Rail Transit Village and believed the $50,000 for the lagoon dockagewas ahead <strong>of</strong> its time and believed it would be better spent on the alternatives forthe shovel ready trail. He noted that the area west <strong>of</strong> Fourth Avenue needs to berevisited and provided additional information noting that the trail could be movedto add an additional three acres to the developable area. He believed that therecould be a better conceptual plan for that area. He stated that was his onlyconcern for 2014, to use the $50,000 for alternatives on the trail project.Mr. Cruikshank agreed with Councilmember Weaver that the $50,000 is ahead <strong>of</strong>its time and should be removed from that line item. He stated that in regard toCouncilmember Weaver’s suggestion, the shovel ready project is underfundedand would remain underfunded even with the additional $50,000. He questionedif the Council would like to go full scale on the trail and go into the hole but notedthat the money would need to be paid back at some time.Councilmember Freeburg stated that the trail will be just fine and he did not thinkadditional funds need to be spent on the trail.Mayor Rice stated that this trail is very expensive and the previous year there wasdiscussion with the low park budget. He believed it was important to make theparks department whole and did not believe that the budget should be cut anymore. He also believed that these were important additions to the trail and wouldmake a difference in the project. He stated that this project is a showpiece andhas to be developed in order to create the atmosphere for development. He notedthat people use this and will use it more. He believed that the additions should beincluded with the trail but also believed that the parks should be made whole.Ms. Yager advised <strong>of</strong> a transfer proposed in the 2014 budget that would comefrom the general fund to make the parks budget whole again, in addition to atransfer from the liquor store to the parks budget.Mayor Rice left the meeting at 7:06 p.m.Mr. Cruikshank referenced this trail project to the Greenhaven parking lot projectand questioned if these additions were the absolute right thing to do for thatproject.62 <strong>of</strong> 360


June 24, <strong>2013</strong> (Worksession)Page 10 <strong>of</strong> 11Director <strong>of</strong> Public Services/<strong>City</strong> Engineer Greg Lee discussed the alternatives forthe trail project. He referenced the line items for the <strong>Anoka</strong> Nature Reserve andthe funds earmarked for that area and provided additional information on howmaterial could be reused to create the trails.Councilmember Weaver questioned why playground equipment would be neededfor that area when the neighborhood will build its own amenities in that area. Hebelieved that the focus should remain on the trails.Mr. Lee noted that the playground equipment that would be used in that areawould not be typical and would be nature based play equipment placed near thetrailhead.Mr. Cruikshank questioned if the Council desired to fund the other alternates forthe trail and whether play equipment should be included at the reserve.Council consensus was to delay the play equipment and fund the three alternatesfor the trail project.Ms. Yager continued to review the proposed CIP items, identifying specific items.Mr. Lee provided additional information on a specific line item, explaining that itis a placeholder for infrastructure improvement when development arises. Healso provided additional information on the updates to the street project. He alsonoted that the item regarding Greenhaven Road was actually mislabeled and is forthe façade. He obtained Council consensus on the desired option for the upperentrance and noted that the cost saving for that option could be put into the lowerentrance.Mr. Cruikshank stated that all <strong>of</strong> the items for the <strong>Anoka</strong> Dam should be strickenand listed together under the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Anoka</strong> Dam.Ms. Yager continued to review the proposed CIP items and staff providedadditional clarification when necessary.3.4 Discussion; Equipment Replacement Plan.Finance Director Lori Yager shared that annually the Council and staff review thefive-year equipment replacement plan prior to adoption.

COUNCIL MEMO FORMMeeting Date <strong>July</strong> 1, <strong>2013</strong>Agenda Section Public Hearing(s) & Ordinances/ResolutionsItem Description Hearing – Housing Improvement Area Assessment.RES/Adopting Housing Improvement Assessment.Submitted ByDarin Berger, Housing Manager5.1 &9.1BACKGROUND INFORMATIONThe ordinance establishing the housing improvement area was adopted by Council on May 6 th , <strong>2013</strong>. Understate law, the owners <strong>of</strong> the residential units then had 45 days in which to file objections to that ordinance. Ifobjections had been received from the owners <strong>of</strong> 45% or more <strong>of</strong> the residential units the ordinance would havebeen void.After the 45 day period had passed with the <strong>City</strong> receiving no objections, the Rivers Edge TownhomesAssociation with the assistance <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>’s Public Services Department has obtained a quote. The <strong>City</strong> canproceed with the next step <strong>of</strong> the process, the imposition <strong>of</strong> the fee through assessment. The cost <strong>of</strong> theimprovements amounts to an estimated $50,000 after engineering fees. These improvements include installation<strong>of</strong> the wear course bituminous layer <strong>of</strong> the private roadway serving the Rivers Edge Townhomes and wouldinclude related necessary and incidental improvements to the curb and manhole elevations as needed in order t<strong>of</strong>inish the improvements to industry standard and comply with all building codes.In accordance with the ordinance establishing the area, the costs are proposed to be spread equally among the 32residential units in the Rivers Edge Townhomes Housing Improvement Area and the fees are to be spread over aperiod <strong>of</strong> 10 years. The proposed interest rate is 0%. The amount <strong>of</strong> the fee to be levied against each <strong>of</strong> the unitsis proposed to be $1562.50.The fees will be collected annually along with taxes although they may be paid in full at any time.Like the ordinance, State law provides that a resolution imposing the fee may be vetoed within 45 days after itsadoption by the owners <strong>of</strong> 45% or more <strong>of</strong> the housing units. For this reason, the <strong>City</strong> should not take the risk <strong>of</strong>starting the project until those 45 days have elapsed, or until the owners <strong>of</strong> at least 15 <strong>of</strong> the units havecommitted in writing not to object to the fee.The statutes require that before a resolution imposing the improvement fees can be adopted, the Association mustsubmit a financial plan demonstrating that future maintenance and capital improvements in the area can beaccomplished by the Association. Such a plan has been presented and reviewed by the <strong>City</strong>'s Finance Director.The plan indicates that through increases in monthly assessments and proper scheduling the Association shouldbe able to maintain the existing improvements as well as make future capital improvements that may be needed.FINANCIAL IMPACTThe estimated cost <strong>of</strong> these improvements is $40-50,000. This amount will be repaid to the city in incrementsover a 10 year period at an interest rate <strong>of</strong> 0%.COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTEDApprove the resolution imposing improvement fees in the Rivers Edge Townhomes Housing ImprovementArea and providing for the collection <strong>of</strong> those fees through assessment.65 <strong>of</strong> 360

COUNCIL MEMO FORMMeeting Date <strong>July</strong> 1, <strong>2013</strong>Agenda Section Ordinances & ResolutionsItem Description RES/LG214 Premise Permit for Pull-tabs at MacGillycuddy’s; St. PaulMidway Lions Club FoundationSubmitted ByAmy Oehlers, <strong>City</strong> Clerk9.2BACKGROUNDThe <strong>City</strong> has received a request from St. Paul Midway Lions Club Foundation, requesting that they be allowed toobtain a Premise Permit to operate gambling at MacGillycuddy’s, 2016 First Avenue. A premise permit allows anorganization to sell pull tabs, tipboards, etc. The Minnesota Gambling Control Board is the entity that actuallygrants Premise Permits; however, MN GCB requires that the municipality in which the gambling takes placeprovide a recommendation or comment on the issuance <strong>of</strong> a premise permit.A few years back, the <strong>Anoka</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council discussed “out <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong>” organizations that want to obtain a premisepermit in <strong>Anoka</strong>. The Council chose to amend the <strong>City</strong> ordinance so that our local gambling organizations andnon-pr<strong>of</strong>its are given the first option on operating gambling.The priority set by the <strong>City</strong> Council for granting approval <strong>of</strong> a premise permit application and its location shall beas follows:1. First priority given to organizations whose main <strong>of</strong>fice location is within the corporate limits <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Anoka</strong>.2. Second priority given to organizations whose main <strong>of</strong>fice location is located within the <strong>Anoka</strong> AreaChamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce limits and whose main <strong>of</strong>fice location is within a <strong>City</strong> that allows an <strong>Anoka</strong> basedorganization to hold a premise permit within their corporate limits, and who is eligible to be granted awaiver from the eligibility requirements by the <strong>Anoka</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council.3. Third priority is given to all other organizations that are eligible to be granted by waiver from the eligibilityrequirements by the <strong>Anoka</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council.A letter was sent to our existing local premise permit holders and non-pr<strong>of</strong>its advising them <strong>of</strong> the application andopportunity to provide gambling at the above location. They were instructed that if they were interested inpursuing <strong>of</strong>fering gambling at this location, that they must contact our <strong>of</strong>fice no later than June 25, <strong>2013</strong>. No localorganization expressed an interest to our <strong>of</strong>fice.FINANCIAL IMPACTThere is no financial impact related to the adoption <strong>of</strong> the resolution. However, the local area does receivedonations from the premise permit holders that operate in our <strong>City</strong>. That amount varies on how much they grossin their pull tab sales.Section 14-192.Expenditures For Lawful Purposes.During any year that an eligible organization is licensed to conduct gambling events, not less than fifty percent(50%) <strong>of</strong> its lawful purpose expenditures will be for lawful purposes conducted or located within the trade area. Areport <strong>of</strong> the expenditures for lawful purposes within the trade area shall be provided to the <strong>City</strong> each month afterthe date <strong>of</strong> the adoption <strong>of</strong> this requirement. Additional reports may be required as determined by the <strong>City</strong>.COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:Adopt the resolution.105 <strong>of</strong> 360

June 25, <strong>2013</strong>Mr. Greg Lee, Public Services Director<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong>2015 First Avenue<strong>Anoka</strong>, MN 55303Re:Proposal for Pr<strong>of</strong>essional ServicesCastle FieldDear Mr. Lee:Now that the construction <strong>of</strong> Castle Field is substantially complete - the bleachers are ready forspectators, the dugouts are waiting for players and coaches, and the grass is growing so it will beready for games (albeit limited) in just a couple weeks - we’re ready to continue with thecompletion <strong>of</strong> the building under the bleachers and the plaza/ walkways.With that, and as requested, we are pleased to provide this fee proposal for design services for thesubsequent phases <strong>of</strong> Castle Field . We have also included a partial set <strong>of</strong> site and architecturaldrawings <strong>of</strong> the building (attached) for your review and to serve as a basis for this proposal.Phase 2 - Concessions/ Restrooms/ Storage Building under the Grandstand & EntranceMonumentAs you may recall, much <strong>of</strong> the design work for the building and entrance monument wasaccomplished last year in order to facilitate te construction <strong>of</strong> the bleachers and site. The footingsand foundation <strong>of</strong> the building were completed by Ebert. The water and sanitary services werebrought to a point where they are inside the building envelope. Now the building is ready for theabove-grade work: the exterior and interior walls, electrical, plumbing and mechanical services,ro<strong>of</strong> and floor slab, furnishings, fixtures and hardware, painting, floor and wall treatments,counter tops and toilets.We understand the schedule for Phase 2 construction is tentatively planned for <strong>City</strong> Councilapproval <strong>of</strong> plans and specifications on <strong>July</strong> 15th with the contractor starting construction in mid-August. You’ve also mentioned that we will discuss how the possibility <strong>of</strong> expansion to supportthe Northwood League will affect the plans.For the preparation (and completion) <strong>of</strong> the Phase 2 Bid Documents and for Construction-relatedServices (same as Phase 1: observation, meetings, submittal review, etc), we propose a lumpsum fee <strong>of</strong> $34,500.119 <strong>of</strong> 360


Phase 3 - Entrance Plaza, Trails and LandscapingAs you know, the master plan for Castle Field Facility includes a grand entrance to directspectators from the parking lot to the grandstand and concession building, a trail to link thebaseball field to <strong>Anoka</strong> High School, and banners, lighting and landscaping to further accentuateand beautify the athletic complex. The Phase 1 work was completed to support these (Phase 3)improvements.We understand the <strong>City</strong> anticipates the Phase 3 will occur in 2014, perhaps in the Fall <strong>of</strong> 2014following the baseball season.For the preparation <strong>of</strong> the Phase 3 Bid Documents and for Construction-related Services, wepropose a lump sum fee <strong>of</strong> $8,000.Northwood League ExpansionBased on previous discussions, we are familiar with the possibility that Castle Field may need tobe expanded and modified to support a Northwood League expansion baseball team. CastleField will more than likely need to be expanded to include additional bleacher seating,concessions, rest rooms, storage facilities, parking, ticketing, spectator gathering spaces, andrelated amenities. In order to take into account the possibility <strong>of</strong> these expansion needs in Phases2 and 3, we can meet with the <strong>City</strong> and invoice on a “time-and-materials” basis. We haveincluded a Fee Schedule summarizing billing and reimbursable rates.Greg, we trust the above information is clear and concise. As mentioned, much <strong>of</strong> the designwork for the Phase 2 building has been accomplished, so we will invoice for a large portion <strong>of</strong>the (proposed) fee within the coming weeks.Respectfully Submitted,Anderson-Johnson Associates, Inc.Jay Pomeroy, LLAProject ManagerAttachments120 <strong>of</strong> 360

The proposed trail will provide a much needed connection along the Mississippi RiverRegional Trail between <strong>Anoka</strong>'s Mississippi River Community Park and the Mississippi West Regional Park inRamsey. The trail will also provide a continuous pedestrian and bicycle route east and west along the TrunkHighway 10 and Trunk Highway 169 corridors between the cities <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> and Ramsey. The project is locatedon the north and east side <strong>of</strong> the Mississippi River approximately 4 miles upstream <strong>of</strong> the Ferry Street (TH 169)Bridge. Restoration <strong>of</strong> a historic oxbow region <strong>of</strong> the river is also being proposed in the King’s Island area. Thetrail will include two single span pedestrian bridges that will allow river flows to enter/exit the oxbow andfloodplain area. The structures are lateral to main channel flow and are designed to accommodatemaintenance vehicle traffic.The trail will consist <strong>of</strong> 6 inches <strong>of</strong> class 5 aggregate material and 3 inches <strong>of</strong> bituminous material. Because <strong>of</strong>the shallow construction, dewatering is not anticipated for this project. Excavated materials that are deemedunsuitable for fill material or restoration material will be hauled <strong>of</strong>f site.

COUNCIL MEMO FORMMeeting Date <strong>July</strong> 1, <strong>2013</strong>Agenda Section Ordinances & ResolutionsItem Description RES/Approving Boat Slips on the Upper Rum River; Lease/FeesSubmitted ByGreg Lee, Public Services Director9.6BACKGROUND INFORMATIONOn May 7, 2012 the <strong>City</strong> Council adopted a motion to approve the Boat Slip Rental Policy and the Boat SlipLease Agreement Terms and Conditions.In May <strong>of</strong> 2012, the <strong>City</strong> created a new public docking system and six (6) boat slips at the 2 nd Avenue boatlanding. See attached picture.When these slips were created, the lease fee was established at $1,800 per slip per full season. Currently all six(6) slips are leased.The current Capital Improvement Program, and proposed 2014 Budget, include adding a new dock and slipsystems just north <strong>of</strong> the dam at Freeburg’s Landing. There is also the possibility that a dock and slip systemcould be placed just north <strong>of</strong> the CSAH 116 (Bunker Lake Boulevard) Bridge on the east side <strong>of</strong> the upper RumRiver. The current proposal is that these dock and slips systems would be configured identically to the 2 ndAvenue system.To maximize the possible use <strong>of</strong> these slips in 2014, it is important to start advertizing their availability now;during the peak <strong>of</strong> this year’s boating season. To do so, a fee for leasing slips north <strong>of</strong> the dam needs to beestablished. After a financial analysis, staff is recommending that a this fee be established at $800 per slip perfull season. If the dock sections that make up the slips need to be removed and stored <strong>of</strong>f site during thewinter months, the lease fee should be increase to $1,000 per slip to cover these additional costs.On June 18, <strong>2013</strong>, the Park Board made a recommendation to establish boat slip lease fee to be $800 per slipper year for slip north <strong>of</strong> the dam on the upper Rum River and $1,000 per slip if the dock sections are removedand stored <strong>of</strong>f site during the winter months.FINANCIAL IMPACTThere is no cost to establish boat slip lease fees. The cost <strong>of</strong> the public dock and slip system is estimated to be$40,000 and will be included in the proposed 2014 Budget.COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTEDIt is recommended that <strong>City</strong> Council adopt a motion to establish boat slip lease fees for slips on the upper RumRiver.132 <strong>of</strong> 360

IMPACTS OF PROJECTS ONFUNDING SOURCES15 162 <strong>of</strong> 360


SUMMARY OF IMPACTS ON FUNDING SOURCESAQUATIC CAPITAL FUNDThe aquatic capital fund has a working capital fund balance <strong>of</strong> $249,000. The funds areto be used to make improvements to the <strong>Anoka</strong> Aquatic Center. Over the last five yearsthe city has invested $239,000 in equipment and improvements to the aquatic center. In<strong>2013</strong> we will spend an additional $72,000 on pool and parking improvements. The <strong>2013</strong>capital improvement plan calls for another $71,000 <strong>of</strong> improvements at the aquaticcenter. This will bring the balance <strong>of</strong> available funds down to about $117,000. The onlysources <strong>of</strong> revenues for this fund are interest earnings and a parking lease. There willneed to be other sources <strong>of</strong> revenue for continued future improvements. Customer feesdo not cover operating costs at the aquatic center, so the costs <strong>of</strong> operations are supportedby general fund revenues.BUILDING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDThe capital improvement fund has a negative fund balance because <strong>of</strong> the remainingunsold property purchased in 2004 in preparation <strong>of</strong> redevelopment <strong>of</strong> the commuter railtransit village. Staff believes this property could be sold by 2014 eliminating thenegative balance. Once the remaining parcels are sold, funds will be available forinvesting in city buildings. Electric fund transfers <strong>of</strong> $125,000 a year help pay forimmediate needs and will continue to support future building improvements. There arethree items as high priority for spending in 2014, they include fixing the ro<strong>of</strong> at theSenior Center, completing the entrance improvements at Greenhaven and moving thebanquet <strong>of</strong>fice to the main level in Greenhaven. There are other Greenhaven buildingimprovements scheduled out in the near future. The potential new public servicesbuilding and improvements to <strong>City</strong> Hall could require a bond issue as the source <strong>of</strong>funding.ELECTRIC FUNDThe electric fund has unrestricted net assets <strong>of</strong> $15,500,000. Over $3 million <strong>of</strong> this isborrowed internally to the Tax Increment fund and the Capital Improvement fund to payfor land purchases and redevelopment. Another $3,000,000 is current outstandingreceivables. The electric fund transferred $600,000 to the general fund and $500,000 togolf in <strong>2013</strong>. In 2014 and beyond annual transfers to other funds will be about $1.5million. The largest portion <strong>of</strong> these transfers ($1 million) is to help pay for necessarystreet improvements throughout the city. Electric is anticipating large capital outlayexpenditures for infrastructure improvements in 2014 thru 2020. Strategic rateadjustments will help pay for those necessary infrastructure improvements along withcovering operating costs and transfers. With the existing cash balance in electric, the citymay borrow funds internally to pay for infrastructure or other improvements. Theseinternal loans are beneficial for the entire city as they allow borrowing without the highcost <strong>of</strong> issuing debt. The internal loans also benefit the electric fund because the earnings16 163 <strong>of</strong> 360


on an internal loan are at a higher rate <strong>of</strong> return than is currently achievable thruinvestments. The loans are typically 15 to 20 years in length.GENERAL FUND RESERVES/CURRENT REVENUESGeneral fund reserves continue to be at a very healthy balance <strong>of</strong> 69% <strong>of</strong> currentoperating expenditures. This is above the recommended level <strong>of</strong> reserves in the generalfund <strong>of</strong> about 40%. The council has budgeted to use ($1,005,000) <strong>of</strong> its’ fund balance in<strong>2013</strong>. General fund capital project items will need to be included in the overall budgetprocess and levy decisions. Included in this document are some items for earlyconsideration.GOLF FUNDGreenhaven has negative unrestricted net assets <strong>of</strong> ($166,045) at the end <strong>of</strong> 2012. Toaddress this the council budgeted to transfer $500,000 from electric in <strong>2013</strong> and anadditional $750,000 from the general fund for the parking lot improvements. Thecatering contract reduced funds available to pay the debt service incurred for theimprovements to the clubhouse. Golf reserves have been used to pay the debt. In 2014,staff is recommending reclassification <strong>of</strong> clubhouse revenues and expenses to the generalfund as a community center net expense. Even with this reclassification, Greenhavenwill need to rely on a debt service levy to pay for the debt in 2016 and beyond.PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDThe park capital improvement fund sources are derived from a multitude <strong>of</strong> sources. Theprimary source is from transfers from other funds including liquor store and general fund.Grants and bond proceeds are considered necessary in the future to provide fundingsources for desired park projects. Over the last 5 years the city has invested over $3million in a variety <strong>of</strong> park improvement projects including the new Castle Field. That isequivalent to $660,000 a year on park improvements. In <strong>2013</strong>, improvements include thecompletion <strong>of</strong> Castle Field, Kings Island channel restoration and Mississippi Parktrailway system. This is an additional $1.7 million in park improvements. In 2014, tocomplete the Mississippi park trailways, another $550,000 will need to be transferredfrom the liquor and general funds. The liquor store will continue to transfer about$150,000 a year into the park capital fund but desired projects add up to much more thanthe balance available. If Riverfront park is to be completed in 2017, the city will need toconsider how to fund the completion <strong>of</strong> this project. Future funding for park capitalprojects will need to be determined.PARK DEDICATION FUNDAt the end <strong>of</strong> 2012 this fund had a working capital balance <strong>of</strong> $146,000. This fund isprojected to have a negative fund balance in <strong>2013</strong>, as a result <strong>of</strong> the River Front ParkTrail system <strong>of</strong> $1.7 million. The city will receive a grant for $760,000 in <strong>2013</strong> to help17 164 <strong>of</strong> 360


cover the costs <strong>of</strong> the trail. Other sources <strong>of</strong> revenue for this fund include park dedicationfees, proceeds from the sale <strong>of</strong> Lot 1 in the historic rum river district and interestearnings. A transfer from the general fund <strong>of</strong> $500,000 will be necessary to correct thenegative fund balance and provide some funding for future projects. Funding for Parkdedication improvement projects will depend on future development and dedication feescollected.PARKING FUNDThe parking fund has a fund balance <strong>of</strong> just over $1 million as <strong>of</strong> 2012. It is projected touse ($93,000) a year to cover operating and capital expenses over the next 6 years. In thefuture, finance will be proposing a 5% increase in permit rates and an increase in parkingfines from $11 to $15 to help cover costs <strong>of</strong> this fund.SANITARY SEWER FUNDIn 2010, the city increased the sanitary sewer rates to pay for current and futureinfrastructure and operating needs. In 2018, staff is projected to incur capitalexpenditures <strong>of</strong> about $2,000,000 for a lift station. As a result <strong>of</strong> increased infrastructureimprovements and capital expenditures, a rate increase is currently projected for 2014.STORM SEWER FUNDThe city increased the storm water utility fee in <strong>2013</strong>, which was sufficient enough tocover costs into the near future. Projected costs from this fund continue to increase as aresult <strong>of</strong> street renewal projects. The next projected rate increase is projected to be 2016.This fund pays for the city’s storm sewer system improvements.STREET RENEWAL FUNDThe city’s Street Renewal fund has been put to good use over the past several years.Investments in street projects alone total almost $16 million in the last 5 years alone. Thecity continues to invest in its’ street renewal program with an anticipated additional $17million invested over the next 5 years in streets including the water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure investments. <strong>City</strong> Council is committed to improving streetconditions throughout the city at an aggressive pace. To accomplish this task $1 millionis being transferred annually from the electric fund to <strong>of</strong>fset the costs <strong>of</strong> additional streetrenewal and street surface improvement projects (SSIP). The SSIP extends the life <strong>of</strong> theexisting streets while improving the look and drivability <strong>of</strong> the roads. The street renewalfund continues to generate revenues from a franchise fee and property assessments. Thelast increase in the property assessment rate occurred in 2006. <strong>City</strong> Council shouldconsider an increase in the property assessment rate to keep up with the increased costs <strong>of</strong>infrastructure replacement.18 165 <strong>of</strong> 360


TAX INCREMENT FUNDSThe city currently has five tax increment districts established for redevelopment. TheHRA has two tax increment districts established for redevelopment.The city’s oldest district is the Enterprise Park TIF district. This district will bedecertified on December 31, 2015 and after that point will no longer receive tax revenuesas a source <strong>of</strong> income. Some remaining funds and revenues yet to be collected will beutilized in 2015 to help extinguish the existing debt in the Historic Rum River District(HRRD) which was issued to build the ramp on 2 nd Avenue North. As a result <strong>of</strong>postponed development, the HRRD will not generate enough tax revenues to pay thedebt. There may also be an internal loan with Electric which with some additionaldevelopment in the HRRD, will be paid back in the future. With the sale <strong>of</strong> property, theEnterprise Park TIF district could have some funding available for future projects.The HRRD will exist for the next 19 years and the funds will be used to pay for theinternal loan from electric for the parking ramp debt. With successful developmentwithin the next couple <strong>of</strong> years, there could be funding available in the future to pay aportion <strong>of</strong> the funding from the Enterprise Park TIF, allowing that district to continue toexist past decertification, without tax revenues.The Commuter Rail Transit Village (CRTV) will utilize TIF revenues to pay for theinternal loan from electric for the new <strong>Anoka</strong> Station ramp, located at the NorthstarCommuter Rail Station. With further development in the CRTV, there will then be fundsavailable to purchase blighted properties, provide for cleanup <strong>of</strong> properties or improveinfrastructure. This district could exist until 2038.The South Ferry District will utilize TIF revenues to redevelop that district in the nearfuture. Future development commitments will enable this district to accomplish goals <strong>of</strong>the <strong>City</strong> Council and its’ constituents to beautify the gateway to the city. This districtcould exist until 2034.The Greens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong> District will utilize TIF revenues to implement the Greens <strong>of</strong><strong>Anoka</strong> plan. There are existing future revenues available for a commitment <strong>of</strong>redevelopment in this area. This district could exist until 2039.The HRA TIF district funds can be utilized city wide on scattered site redevelopment orto assist in a particular redevelopment project area. The oldest HRA TIF district will bedecertified on December 31, 2017, however the Central Business TIF district willcontinue to payback a loan for fire suppression improvements, thereby extending thedistrict existence.19 166 <strong>of</strong> 360


WATER FUNDThe water fund has some major capital improvement projects within the next ten years toimprove water distribution and storage. Water utility rates were increased in 2011. Thenext rate increase is projected to be 2015. In 2015, Well #1 is anticipated to needrehabilitation. This is projected to cost about $1.2 million. In 2001 a revenue bond wasissued to cover water infrastructure costs. This bond was refunded in 2009 to reducecosts. The refunded debt will be paid <strong>of</strong>f in 2017. At that time the water fund cash flowwill greatly improve. If a new well is required in the future, water revenue bonds mayneed to be issued to fund that type <strong>of</strong> improvement.20 167 <strong>of</strong> 360

We would usethe space vacated by the F&B <strong>of</strong>fices and accommodate a small fitness area with a few machines, weights, and an area for workout classes inconjunction with the <strong>Anoka</strong> Senior Center and potentially the Andover YMCA.JustificationDuring events and meetings, the <strong>of</strong>fice staff will retreat to their <strong>of</strong>fices to tend to work and the customers will have to walk a long way to see that aneed is attended to. By moving their <strong>of</strong>fices to the main level we put them near their customers and that should improve the service before, during,and after events. It will make the F&B GM more accessible at all times. As our golfers age if we are able to show them how to stay healthier andmore fit they can play more golf and play longer.ExpendituresMaintenanceTotal2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Total57,00057,00057,000 57,000Funding SourcesCapital Improvement fundTotal2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Total57,00057,00057,000 57,00064 211 <strong>of</strong> 360

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSEBackgroundThe Equipment Replacement Plan is a twenty year forecast <strong>of</strong> equipmentneeds in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoka</strong>. It is intended to inform the Council and citizensto the major equipment needs on the horizon. The first year <strong>of</strong> the planbecomes an adopted equipment budget and relates almost completely to theoperating budget <strong>of</strong> the garage fund, which is approved on an annual basis.The remaining nineteen years represent an estimate <strong>of</strong> equipment needs andfunding capabilities <strong>of</strong> the city. Funding requirements vary from year toyear. In order to maintain a fairly consistent levy each year, the twenty yearschedule is projected with a 3% inflation factor and a yearly average dollarneed for the garage fund is presently $540,000.The cash flow requirements to fund the equipment needs in the garage fundare projected to increase 4 to 5% over the next five years given the projectedequipment needs and 3% inflation rate. Available funds will be usedthrough 2016 to replace and purchase equipment. The fund will thenreplenish the reserves with a transfer from the general fund to reach asuitable fund balance reserve. It is anticipated that the annual charges to thegeneral fund will need to increase 4 to 5% a year for the next five years inorder to accomplish replacing all <strong>of</strong> the equipment in the plan.Staff continually reevaluates the requested or needed equipmentreplacements for the near future and adjusts them to reduce the neededcontributions from the general fund. Refurbishments, extended lifeexpectancy and closer cost estimates <strong>of</strong> replacements will be the tools usedin helping reduce future replacement costs. The charge to the general fundin 2014 is projected to be $538,300 which is 5% higher than <strong>2013</strong> budget.The charges to the general fund include costs attributed not only to thereplacement <strong>of</strong> equipment but maintenance and supplies associated with thevehicles and equipment.1 279 <strong>of</strong> 360
