The Lapakko's own Lots 31, 32, 33, and 34 of Linden Ad ition as shown on the sketch at the left. A portion of lot 34 was acquired by the State Highway Department to provide additional right-oII-way for the eventual rebuilding and reconstruction of Trunk Highwaj� 49 thru this part of the City. You are all familiar with the fact t!hat the High- way Department purchased substantial right-of-way for t�he redevelop- -ment of Highway 49 from what was then Highway 100 south� to the south limits of this City. This right-of-way was purchased b the Highway Dapartment in the early 50's when the Friendly Hills area was being platted. '�� 2. The lots in question which are currenily occupied by a� single family house which is located on Lot 32, as ori and occupied by Alanzo Houser who is a nationally known The Highway Department pur.chased a portion of Lot 34 fr and is reported to have paid Two Hundred Dollars ($200: property. I understand from Mrs. Lapakko that Mr. Hous issue to court, but did not get additional compensation 3. About a dozen years ago the property was purchased by P who is a well known sculptor in the area. Peter got pe from the City touse the frame building to the east of t as a p�tter's studio. Peter Leach has since moved to D Minnesota where he operates the "Sogn Valley Pottery" o Peter Leach sold the property to the Lapakko's who no 1 the studio for potting purposes. 4. The recent construction �of sanitary sewers along 'the lo in q-uestion has resulted�in asses-sments being applied t the four lots owned by the Lapakko's (including an asse Lot 34). Due partly to these assessments, ihe Lapakko' to sell Lot 34. Because the lot as reduced by the High ' in size now has 52.67 feet of frontage, the Lapakko's s variance to the 100 foot requirement so as to make this buildable�iot.

Case N�umber: 75-12 June 24, 1975 Page; Twa 5. As yau know, the lat size requirements in the City are square feet of land and 100 feet of fro»tage ( measure building line). Because of the diagonal shape of the 34 naw has ]77 feet of wi�th at the rear and 52.67 fee front. The lat is 220 fee� deep and therefore has a 1 18,70Q square feet. Ai the building line{30 feet back street) the lot has a frontage of approximately 63 fe 6.� The Lapakko hause (on Lat 32j hawever, is set back i�� the.righi-of-way.

One solution would be ta allow the variance to the 52.67 feet a€ frontage and determine the lot ta be a buildable one, on the conditian that any future residence.be sei back a minii�um of say 90 feet from the frontage street: At this point the lat at the firont of the home wouid be 80 feet. This width�exceeds ihe , minimum 70 foat required for existing lots (ta be a buiidabie 1at� by 10 feet. � • � I 8. As you know, the ordinance states that if an existing within 70 perceni of the minimum requirements for fron lat area, it is deemed a buildable-lat.

Mr. Wedebrand is seeking permission io canstruct a 2.4 �oot by 24 foot garage in his rear yard to be lacated three feet �rom the side lot line and ten feet from the rear iot line. The o.rdinance requires that in such an accessory building built in a;rear yard shaiT be a minimum af five feet from the side lot iine:and 30 feet from the rear lot line. . i - 2. The attached drawing shows the conditions relevant to in questian and the contiguous praperties on either si lot in question has a frontage af 42 feet and the hous 14 feet from•the westerly lat ]ine. 7he contiguous ho located nine.feet fram the 1ine.

Ir��many cases in this part af the City variances have been granted so as to accomadate a reasonable so7ut9on to the development of,�such a garage on the sma11 iots that are in existance in this part�af the City. In. general, in the past, the City has encouraged the develapment of garages'an these properties. It is simply a � matter of locating them in a way so as to make them funtionally usable wi�hout creating undue deleterious effects on contiguous ' properties. We have suggested ta r�fr. Wederbrand ihat it�would be important to have written consent from the contiguous propet�y ar�mers affected io the �rear and to his west_ si de. We � suggest that �t would_be helpful to have these fo7ks attend the Planning Commission meeting so as to ailaw the Commissian and �he Council ta discuss the relationship between the proposed variances and iheir properiies. • � - . . , �. �,.'�'x,:i � 4* ��:;4� .�+�} . e � ,h:T; • L. � � � Case Number: 75-13 June 24, 1975 Page Two 4.

A copy of the proposed layout is.attached to this report for your consideration. ;,I • 5. Mr. Wedebrand did note that he has�constructed a fence along his west property line which confines the neighbors driveway, to a very narrow nine foot width between the fence and his house. We suggested that one solution might be for the two neighbors to develop a joint driveway within the 25 foot distance between the houses. It would appear that this would offer a better'�Isolution for both parties if it can be accomodated in terms of giade and tFe appropriate legal arrangements. • � , , 0 Applicant Name: �� '— Last First Address : ��`�j � (� ��,�f�. ..�• � �� Number and Street City f Case No. • `%�".� j� City o� Mando�,a Heights Dakota County, Minnesa.ta • a APPLTCATTON F0�2 CONSIDERATION '� a� . . .

The Country Club Mar.ket people are occupying the farmer;IRed Owl Store site in the shopping center, and propose to open in the1�nonih of July.They propose ta place cut out letters on the narth'side of the • building four feet high, on a panel approximate3y 96 feet long partraying the words "Country Ciub Market". This l�ocati�on is the same as the sign that formerly read "Red Ow]".. In BdCIi"�i14C1� they prapose to pui �he words "Country Ciub Mkt." on the shor�i partion of the supermarket building that faces westerly. These��letters are proposed ta be two feet high an a panei approximately 15�feet�iong. In addition, they propose 96 square faot sign to Ee adde�d to the existin9 PY3on sign that now exists near Highway 110. ;� . , 2. The ardinance provides for signs in ihe 8-4 D�sirict to �"not exceed the sum of two square feet per frant foot of building, p.ius one square faot per each front foot of lot notroccupied by such bui�lding which frants on a public right-of-way 5p feet or more in widt�. The least width of a lot for purpose af this ordinance.shall be the frant. No individual signs sha71 exceed 100 square fee ,'in area, nor shall two or more signs be sa arranged and integratejd so as to cause an advertising scrrface over 700 square feet." jE 3. The regulaiions for a pYlon sign state thai a pylan sigri na more than 25 feet high nar 1Q0 square feet in area shali be provided for each seperate commercial lot in a B-4 District. Thus, the existing pylon consumes this aiiacation as a pylon for the shopping center as a whale. This is the normal way in which a shopping�center is handled in as much as a pylan is provided to advertise the center , b�t nnt individual stores within it. ' � 4. The former Red Owl sign placed on the bui1ding had letters fibur feet high. Secause the name "Red Ow1" is short, the former sign was - within the sign � rdinance (maximum 1�Q square feet) to the extent that we can determine at this point. '� 5. It is af course, impartant ta the Country Club Market people to h�ave a reasonabie sign noting the locat-ion af fiheir business: Their � . � � �� . , - - - � • • ' ' „ • .>; ' ` .G, ' � _2 _�'G:,� ^`4 ~ M �w �' i' .. . .. , . . s . Case Number: 75-15 June 24, 1975 Page'�Two problem is more accute in as much as the name is an ext�� one. This name was adopted of course, at the time when food store was built in the Country Club District in Ed� was not designed to facilitate being accomodated in a sr foot area. One of the mitigating factors in considerini sign to serve the purpose, is the fact that the store i<. the easterly end of�the shopping center which does in ti street frontage -to the north, easi, (ultimate re-routinc and to the south. It may be reasonable to consume some sign area that would normally be allowed for these froni the purpose of providing a slightly larger sign on the r where it is of course more important to the frontage fac ��d _►:�rthwesterly toward Highway 49. . �' emely long ' their � na and all,square an �appropri ate located at eory have of Highway 49) of the ages for orth side ing Nighway 110 6. The key question in our opinion is what size letter is appropriate to adequately �serve the purpose of bei ng� i denti fi abl e from �Hi ghway 110. It would be helpful if each member of the Planning Commi�ssion and Council were to view the site particularly as it relates to Highway 110' uudging the height of the letters that would be necessary to serve this purpose. . I 7. If the letters were two feet in height, the length of t'e sign would likely be in the vicinity of 50 feet. This would of co�rse, conform to -ine 100 foot maximum.stated in the ordinance. It wo ld appear �that the sign size proposed, that of four feet in height, may well not be necessary to achieve the objective of being resonably seen from Highway 110. You wi17 note that the signs on the other stores in the center are considerably smaller none of which appear to even apprc?:h the 100 square foot maximum provided. We suggest that the P1 anni ng Corrmi ss i on and Counci 1 cons i der the reas.onabl e�ess and affectiveness of a sign with 7etters in the vicinity of�30 inches in height to a possible maximum of 36 inches. 8. The precedence of placing individual store names on theipylon sign should be of some concern. We suggest that if a sign o, appropriate size is placed on the building to be.readily seen from ighway 110, it may well be not important to repeat the sign on the pylon itself. 9. As to the sign on the wes terly front requested, it woulc sign would be affective for purposes of identifying the' for purposes of being seen by persons within the shoppi a�� Na��ticularly as they are walking along the frontage stores. For this purpose, it would appear that a sign,v� app�oximately 18 inches in height would be adequate and, scale with the e�isiing signs for the other stores alonc � � . . . . . .. • j - `• , .'. . . : -. • _} . . .o: — ` . ^�. � i � , ..

He has advised me that he plans to retire�in accordance with the provisions of our personnel resolution, namely at the end of the year in which he reaches his sixty-fifth birthday. Z'his means the recruitment and selection of a replacemenl�. selection process can: (1) stay within the existing organizatio expanded to wide-open recruitment. If selection and advancemen within the existing organization, a vacancy on the top allows�a opportunities for several people of lesser rank. Such an oppor course, is not allowed if recruitment and selection results in selection. Outside selection, however, does make way for the'Ii of a new mind, does allow the introduction of other department and eliminates any chance of "favoritism." I am hereby propoii that will afford the best of both processes. Such a n; or (2) be t is contained dvancement tunity, of an outside ntroduction experiences na a scheme Your consideration of the following proposition is reque�ted. 1. Advancement opportunity be made available by offering the existing sergeant position to a patrolman. 2. The existing sergeant, namely Eugene Lange, be � transferred to a new position entitled DetectivE Fire Marshall; , 3. A new police chief be recruited via the broadesi possible manner. I I I am suggesting that the 1976 budget be prepared to include ari additional position of Detective/Fire Marshall. At the present time we liave no detecti:•e and we have no fire marshall. Detective work is performed by the police chief and by the sergeant as time permits. Fire Marshall duties are performed by the volunteer firemen on a volunteer basis. I am recommending that we establish a position that will respond to the needs of both areas by a full-time person performing both detective'land fire marshall duties. I am attaching a job description of this gos�ition for your consideration. � Public Safety Personnel -2- June 25, 1975 i � As you will note on the job description, the Detective/F5 would ser��e two masters, i.e., the police chief and the fire c anticipated that approximately two-thirds of his time would be detective work and approximately one-third of his time on fire activities. The current position classifications and budget 9 include or provide for either one of these two activities or s The need for more detective work and more detail servicing of� activities is very evident to us who work with municipal need: confident that the 1976 budget can include the position of Det Marshall and the associated costs without adversely affecting, departments. Without going into detailed costs of operation i 2 would propose that the salary of such a position be approxin $50 per month higher than the sergeant salary. This figure wc in a salary of some $16,000 to $17,000 for 1976. j e Marshall ief. It is spent on related ems do not rvices. ire related daily. I am ctive/Fire this memo, tely $25 to ld result This concept has been dascussed briefly with Sergeant Lange and Fire Chief Siebell. The establishment of this position will give u�s much better detective and fire marshall work, will allow an advancement atitiongst the patrolmen and will allow the broad, unrestricted selection ofii new police chief. This is submitted at this time in order to: (1) prpvide i consideration, and arrive at a conclusion; (2) allow for a prc and selection process for a Police Chief; (3) establish a serc process and; (4) allow sufficient and proper consideration pr: budget preparation and adoption. for your recruitment t selection to 1976 JOB DESCRIPTION Detective/Fire Marshall �i Special Public Safety Position, Responsible to Polic Chief, with special duties performed for Fire Chief Primary Objective of Position: To provide full-time, experie � service to pursue police detective work and provide the initi � activities of inspections, records and training. � Areas of Accountability A.

The Council pointed out that the Zoning Ordinance does not allow a variance in this instance, and the acting City Attorney stated that the sign is in violation of the ordinance and'to allow it would be setting a precedent. Mr. Bream stated that he will research the Ordinances of surrounding communities to find out what their regulations are concerning this type of advertising sign. MARIE PARK POND City Engineer Kishel stated that because of the potential surface water developing in the Marie Park there is much concern over the capacity of a holding pond in the park. He stated that it is necessary to take immediate steps to control the water level in the pond.

As you know, the lot size requirements in the City are 15,000 square feet of land and 100 feet of frontage ( measured at the building line). Because of the diagonal shape of the taking, Lot 34 now has 117 feet of width at the rear and 52.67 feet at.the front. The lot is 220 feet deep and therefore has a lot area of 18,700 square feet. At the building line(30 feet back from the street) the lot has a frontage of approximately 63 feet. 6.• The Lapakko house (on Lot 32) however, is set back 120 feet from the.right-of-way. The frame structure formerly used as a pottery located on Lot 31 is set back approximately 95 feet. 7. One solution would be to allow the variance to the 52.67 feet of frontage and determine the lot to be a buildable one, on the condition that any future residence. be set back a minimum of say 90 feet from the frontage street* At this point the lot at the front of the home would be 86 feet. This width -exceeds the minimum 70 foot required for existing lots (to be a buildable lot) by 10 feet. 8. As you know, the ordinance states that if an existing lot comes within 70 percent of the minimum requirements for frontage and lot area, it is deemed a buildable --lot. Thus, if this lot had 70 feet of frontage as measured at the building line it would in fact constitute a buildable lot without Planning Commission or Council action. &I L llL.

Wedebrand 538 Fremont Avenue Mendota Heights 55.118 LOCATION: 538 Fremont Avenue ACTION REQUESTED:, Variance to side and Rear Yard Requirements PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Mr. Wedebrand is seeking permission to construct a 24 foot by 24 foot garage in his rear yard to be located three feet from the side lot line and ten feet from the rear lot line. The ordinance requires that in such an accessory building built in a rear yard shall be a minimum of five feet from the side lot line and 30 feet from the rear lot line. 2. The attached drawing shows the conditions relevant to the property in question and the contiguous properties on either side. The lot in question has a frontage of 42 feet and the house is located 14 feet from - the westerly lot line. The contiguous house is located nine.feet from the line. Mr. Wederbrand proposes to construct a driveway within the 14 foot.set-back on the west side of the house to a new garage structure to be placed 26 feet from the rear of the existing home. 3. The problem of locating an accessory garage in a rear yard when the lot is as small as this one is of course, extreme. In many cases in this part of the City variances have been granted so as to accomodate a reasonable solution to the development of such a garage on the small lots that are in existance in this part'of the City. In. general, in the past, the City has encouraged the development of garages*on these properties. It is simply a matter of locating them in a way so as to make them funtionally usable without creating undue deleterious effects on contiguous properties. We have suggested to Mr. Wederbrand that it -would be important to have written consent from the contiguous property owners affected to the -rear and to his west -side. We suggest that it would.be helpful to have these folks attend the Planning Commission meeting so as to allow the Commission and the Council to discuss the relationship between the proposed variances and their properties. Case Number: 75-13 June 24, 1975 Page Two 4. It would appear that the proposed location is a reasonable one assuming the nei-ghbors agree that their properties are not adversely affected. A copy of the proposed layout is -attached to this report for your consideration. 5. Mr. Wedebrand did note that he has•constructed a fence along his west property line which confines the neighbors driveway to a very narrow nine foot width between the fence and his house. We suggested that one solution might be for the two neighbors to develop a joint driveway within the 25 foot distance between the houses. It would appear that this would offer a better solution for both parties if it can be accomodated in terms of grade and the appropriate legal arrangements. 41
