Regular Council Meeting of June 11, 1990
The C~uncil of the City of Faribault met in regular session in
the Council Chambers of City Hall on Monday, June 11, 1990, at 7:30
O'Clock p.m. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Purdie. On
roll call those present were: Councilmembers Erickson, Hanscom,
Kindseth, Rice, Waarvik, and Mayor Purdie. Also present were:
city Administrator Patrick Hentges, Director of Finance and
Planning r~le Martinson, City Planner John Jensvold, Director of
Engineerirg Services Dan Behrens, Director of Public Works Brian
Wagstrom, Director of Community Development Steve Griesert,
Director ef Public Safety Geoffrey Smith, Deputy Director of Fire
Michael Menge, and Public Works Secretary Peggy Keilen.
Councilmember Hanscom moved to approve the minutes of May 22,
1990. Mo~ion was seconded by Councilmember Waarvik and adopted
unanimously.
A public hearing was held on the request for a conditional use
permit for 48 units of high density housing on Block 2, Bard
PropertieE, Bard Avenue. The City Administrator presented ten
concerns of the neighborhood consisting of: dens, phasing, height,
traffic ac~ess, buffer line, economic impact, grading, landscaping,
dumpsters, garage brick and financing. He informed the Council all
these issu~s have been reviewed by the developer and City staff and
~ changes were made to satisfy all parties involved.
Rober~ Bue of 26 Greenhaven Bay appeared before the Council
stating tt~ neighborhood would like to see this issue go back to
the Planning commission which would allow the neighborhood,
developers, and staff additional time to review the ten items in
question. He stated other property is available within the City
for this type of development and height as well as access were
still big issues at this point.
Greg Thibodeau approached the Council stating he fel t as
Robert Bue did regarding sending this project back to the Planning
Commissior. for further review. He also questioned whether FAA had
been notified of this project in regards to height limitations.
Councilmelfher Waarvik informed Mr. Thibodeau that FAA had been
notified, however, height of the building was ruled by the Airport
Zoning Ordinance and has been determined to have no impact on this
project.
Steve Underdahl appeared before the Council explaining he was
chosen as the representative for the neighborhood. He explained
that City staff and neighborhood representatives had only met
together earlier in the day and had not yet resolved all issues at
hand. He would like to be given more time to meet with staff and
developers in an effort to come to an agreement with all the
issues. T~e height of the building was the biggest issue at this
time.

Counc:ilmember Waarvik pointed out that the staff, neighborhood
and develc~ers have had plenty of time to meet and discuss all the
issues. It was unfortunate that the meeting held between City
staff and representatives of the neighborhood wasn't before today,
however, nothing would be gained by prolonging the proj ect any
longer. The City Administrator indicated that many attempts were
made to ml~et earlier with the representatives, however, nothing
could be set up before that time. After the meeting, staff met
with the d~veloper and revised the proposal in an effort to satisfy
all.
Counc:ilmember Kindseth questioned the status of the phasing.
Representatives from Northland Global Development told Council that
the purchase agreement was signed contingent upon approval of the
project by City Council. There was a second option existing on the
adjacent ~~rcel which would be up in one year.
Counc:ilmember Kindseth asked Mr. Underdahl if any action had
been taker to talk with the original property owners to stop the
sale of tne land. Mr. Underdahl said the owner was interested in
the sale of the land and would not back out of the purchase
agreement. Councilmember Kindseth agreed with Mr. Underdahl that
more time was needed to resolve the issues provided this was not
used to prolong the proj ect. He said the proj ect was a good
project but also needs to be a viable project.
Councilmember Kindseth moved to table Resolution 90-81 and set
up a meeting of two Council members, 2 Planning commission members,
City Staff, developers and representatives from the neighborhood
for Monday, June 18, 1990 at 7 p.m.
Repr~sentatives from Northland Global Development approached
the Council stating they felt time was of essence and do not want
to wait any longer for approval. They felt by applying for a
conditional use permit they were doing the City a favor as they
could havp. built a lessor proj ect without any approval. They
stated th~y have done everything possible to resolve the concerns
stated by the neighborhood and would like an answer now.
Councilmember Waarvik stated that all issues were dealt with
since the meeting earlier and nothing would be gained by tabling
this issu~ until the next meeting. By amending the resolution to
reflect the changes outlined in the staff memo everyone should be
happy. Ccuncilmember Kindseth questioned when the second complex
would be completed. The developers stated they would be applying
for the building permits on both units.
After discussion with the developers, Councilmember Rice moved
to approv~ Resolution 90-81, request for a conditional use permit
for 48 units of high density housing on Block 2, Bard Properties,
Bard Avenu~, amending it to include the results of the meeting held
in the mo~ing of June 11, 1990 and by deleting the phasing of the
e
e
e
proj ect. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Erickson and the
following voted "aye:" Councilmembers Erickson, Hanscom, Rice and
Waarvik. Councilmember Kindseth voted "nay." Motion carried.
A putlic hearing was held on amending the preliminary plat of
the prairie Ridge development area. The city Planner informed the
Council tJ'"' culdesac reconfiguration occurring during the final
plat of tl'q First Addition and the realignment of Westwood Drive
were incol~orated into the revised master plan with no objections
by the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Waarvik moved to pass Resolution 90-84, amending
the preliIl'inary plat of the prairie Ridge development area. The
motion w~s seconded by Councilmember Hanscom and adopted
unanimously.
A pw~lic hearing was held to approve the final plat of the
Second Adiition to prairie Ridge, a 21 lot R-2 low density
residentia 1 subdivision. The City Planner informed the Council the
Planning ~ommission had found the 21 lot subdivision consistent
with the r",vised preliminary plat. Councilmember Waarvik moved to
adopted Re~olution 90-85. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Hanscom ar.d adopted unanimously.
A public hearing was held to rezone prairie Ridge 2nd Addition
from O-Ope~ Space to R-2 Low Density Residential, on first reading.
The City Planner informed Council that the area to be platted is
currently zoned a-Open space and is proposed to be rezoned R-2 Low
Density R~sidential to conform to balance the prairie Ridge
subdivisicn. Councilmember Rice moved to adopt Ordinance 90-08.
The motior was seconded by Councilmember Hanscom and, upon roll
call, ado];":ed unanimously.
A putlic hearing was held to receive and file a petition and
request a feasibility report for improvements to prairie Ridge
Second Adiition. The City Engineer informed the Council a
feasibility report including sidewalks on both sides of prairie
Avenue, W€stwood Drive, and 21st Street SW as recommended by the
Planning C~mmission will be prepared.
Counc:ilmember Rice asked the City Engineer if there was
sufficient space on Westwood Drive for sidewalks. He informed her
that there was more then adequate space on Westwood Drive, however,
a problem may exist with prairie Avenue. He is currently studying
that area. Councilmember waarvik instructed staff to include this
information in the feasibility report.
Counc:ilmember Hanscom moved to adopt Resolution 90-86, receive
and file petition and request feasibility report for improvements
to Prairi~ Ridge Second Addition. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Waarvik and adopted unanimously.
A public hearing was held to rezone a 4.2 acre parcel on Fifth
Street Sontheast from R-2 Low Density Residential to R-4 High
Density Residential, on first reading. The City Planner informed
the Council the Planning Commission unanimously recommended denial
of the R~4 rezoning. The Commission sought to separate the
technical questions, such as water/sewer capacity, drainage, and
traffic, from the overriding issue of rezoning eligibility. The
reasons cited as part of the motion to deny include the following:
public access was inadequate and depended largely upon the ultimate
developmert of the Brand Peony Addition, lack of access made the
practicality of "phasing" questionable, rezoning amount to a "spot
zone" and was deemed incompatible with the ring of existing single
family hones, the potential for an extension of Tischler Avenue
through the site is still very significant to the long term
developmert of the neighborhood, and sites exist in the City where
zoning anc access are more appropriate for the proposed project.
Councilmember Rice commended the Planning commission on the
fine jOb t.hey did of researching this project. The zoning would
not be good compounding with the problem of a sufficient access.
Deb Timmers, a representative from the neighborhood, stated the
neighborhc~d agreed with the commission and felt that having the
project ir the middle of a block would also cause a problem.
Councilmember Rice moved to defeat Ordinance 90-09, rezoning
of 4.2 acr~ parcel on Fifth street Southeast from R-2 Low Density
Residential to R-4 High Density Residential, on first reading. The
motion wag seconded by Councilmember Erickson and, upon roll call,
~ adopted ur~nimously.
A putlic hearing was held to approve a conditional use permit
for up to 72 units of housing in two structures. The City Planner
informed Council that the Planning Commission supported the design
and intended market of the uni ts but suggested the developers
utilize city staff to identify various site alternatives.
CouncilmelTher Waarvik moved to defeat Resolution 90-87. The motion
was seconded by Councilmember Hanscom and adopted unanimously.
e
e
A pul'lic hearing was held to approve a subdivision variance
for constl~lction of one dwelling on an unplatted parcel abutting
the Dokken-Wright Addition and Eleventh Avenue Northeast, submitted
by Ronald Halliday. The City Planner informed the Council that
moments prior to the last Planning Commission meeting Ron Halliday
presented staff with a revised site plan illustrating his driveway
accessing Third Street NE, rather than Eleventh Avenue. The
existing plat is incomplete with regard to Third Street.
Halliday I g interest in utilizing this right-of-way for access
demands that a full easement extension is well worth considering,
along with some level of roadway improvements.
Councilmember Waarvik asked if Eleventh Avenue was being
relocated. The City Engineer informed the Council that Mr.
Halliday had sold a portion of the western boundary of his parcel
to the State of Minnesota as it was the States intention to revise
Eleventh Avenue. Councilmember Rice questioned if a culdesac was
necessary on Third Street. The City Engineer informed the Council
e
that a driveway to Mr. Hallidays residence would come off of Third
street NE and would not exist at the end of this street, therefore,
no culdes~c was necessary. The City Administrator informed the
Council that an easement would exist on this parcel of land
assuring t"lat a right-Of-way would exist on the east boundary in
the event the street would have to be extended in the future.
Councilmember Kindseth moved to adopt Resolution 90-88,
approving a subdivision variance for construction of one dwelling
on an unplatted parcel abutting the Dokken-Wright Addition and
Eleventh J. venue NE.
Jame~ Keating approached the Council stating his concerns of
not puttiJ1g in a culdesac at the end of Third street. He felt that
this woul~ create a problem for vehicles to turn around in the
event they entered the street in error. He does not want vehicles
backing in and out of his driveway as they do at the end of
Eleventh J.venue. He would like to see culdesac improvements as a
second cOJ1dition of the resolution. The City Administrator agreed
with Mr. Keating that a culdesac may be appropriate to end this
street prC'"erly.
Councilmember waarvik asked the City Engineer if his drawing
included a culdesac. The City Engineer said the drawing was
preliminal~ with no set dimensions. The City Administrator
informed t,he Council a petition and waiver would need to be signed
e by Mr. Halliday in order to continue on with the culdesac.
Jake Merritt asked the Council if a driveway off of Eleventh
Avenue would change the culdesac improvements. The City Engineer
said the d-iveway would have to be approved through the Engineering
Staff, anc at that time, the culdesac could be addressed.
Councilmember Kindsethmoved to withdraw his earlier motion to
approve Resolution 90-88, approving a subdivision variance for
construction of one dwelling to an unplatted parcel abutting the
DOkken-Wright Addition and 11th Avenue NE. The motion was seconded
by Council member Hanscom and adopted unanimously.
Councilmember Kindseth moved to table Resolution 90-88. The
motion w~s seconded by Councilmember Waarvik and adopted
unanimously. Staff was instructed to include the amendments as
discussed in the feasibility report.
A putlic hearing was held to rezone a 1.5 acre parcel located
at 2426 Park Avenue from C-2 Highway Commercial to R-4 High Density
Residential, on first reading. The City Planner informed the
Council t:':\e Planning Commission had unanimously supported the
downzoninc' of the "Morris farm site." The commission stated that
the parcells size and immediate proximity to a R-2 area supported
the chang~. Also cited was the fact that the parcel had no direct
highway eXlJosure. Councilmember Waarvik moved to approve Ordinance
90-10, on first reading. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Rice and, upon roll call, adopted unanimously. Marilyn Pitt,
e
.
e
e
custodian of the property, thanked the Council for granting the
request and noted the benefit this would be for surrounding
parcels.
The City Administrator presented Resolution 90-89, granting
preliminarr approval of Fire Relief Association Pension
Consolidat.ion with PERA. He informed the Council this option was
made possjble under new Minnesota statute 353A and could provide
positive benefits to both the association and the City. The
preliminary approval does not mean that consolidation will
definitively take place, rather it will give the go ahead for
actuarial calculations and determination of associated costs for
the Councils final approval. Councilmember Rice moved to adopt
Resolutior. 90-89. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Hanscom
and adopted unanimously.
Councilmember Erickson moved to approve Ordinance 90-07,
request for rezoning of the mall addition property to C-3 and
adjacent residential property to R-2 Low Density Residential, on
second reading. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Waarvik
and, upon roll call, adopted unanimously.
The ci ty Administrator explained to the Council that the
Department of Public safety, Fire/Code Division is recommending a
change in the minimum staffing for on-duty personnel in the fire
station an~ the adoption of Standard Operating Procedures for this
manning level. This is a cooperative effort between management and
the full time and parttime personnel in the Fire Department. The
minimum mRnning level in the station would be lowered to three
firefighters, which is a departure from the four man minimum that
is currently in place. The Standard Operating procedures that have
been developed assume that the minimum manning level will be three
on occasion and takes into complete consideration the optimum
safety ana protection of the firefighters and the general public.
This procedures would utilize the parttime firefighters on a more
frequent basis and assures that as many, or more, firefighters are
dispatchea to the scene of a fire situation.
The Eirector of Public Safety noted to the Council that these
changes were due in fact to the budget cuts and the future goals of
efficiency amongst the department. He also informed the Council
these changes would be evaluated in three to six months to assure
efficiency.
The Deputy Director of Fire explained to the Council that
there would be a reduction in the response to medical calls due to
the number of firefighters that would be available with the new
minimum manning level. CUrrently, the fire department responds to
all medical calls, as well as rescue and fire situations. The new
response would be limited to life threatening situations only and
new proceaures have been established for the Law Enforcement
e
Dispatch s~ction and the fire department personnel. The procedures
call for t'l1e fire department to also be contacted if there is any
doubt as to the type of call or if North Ambulance is out of
position c"1d requests their assistance.
Councilmember Hanscom questioned the Deputy Director of Fire
if there is a on-call list for the fulltime firefighters in the
case the need arises to call in more help, and how the dispatch
would determine if it was a life threatening situation. The Deputy
Director Explained to Council that there would be an on-call list
now for fulltime firefighters and all parttime firefighters will be
dispatchec~ if the need arises. He also noted dispatch will receive
additional training to determine life threatening situations,
however, if any doubt arises the fire department would be
dispatchec~ .
Councilmember Waarvik commended staff and fire department
personnel for their cooperative efforts and moved to receive and
file the ~tatus report of Fire Standard Operating Procedures and
Fire staffing. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Hanscom
and adopt€d unanimously.
