Regular Council Meeting of June 26, 1999
The Ccuncil of the City of Faribault met in regular session in the Council
Chambers (If City Hall on Tuesday, June 26, 1999, at 7:39 O'Clock p.m. The
meeting wC's called to order by Mayor Purdie. On roll call those present were:
CouncilmeIl'bers Erickson, Hanscom, Kindseth, Meillier, Rice, Waarvik, and Mayor
Purdie. Also present were: City Administrator Patrick Hentges, Executive
Secretary Linda Tousignant, Director of Finance & Planning Dale Martinson,
Director c~ Engineering Dan Behrens, Director of Public Works Brian Wagstrom,
Director of Public Safety Geoff Smith, Housing and Redevelopment Director
Patricia G"<i'ltafson and Director of Conmunity Development Steve Griesert.
Councilmember Hanscom moved to approve the minutes of June 11,1999. Motion
was seconC'ed by Councilmember Waarvik and adopted unanimously.
The p"lblic hearing was continued on Resolution 99-88, request for a
subdivisicn variance for the construction of one dwelling on an unplatted parcel
abutting the Dokken-Wright Addition and 11th Avenue NE, sul:mitted by Ronald
Halliday cmd Resolution 99-96, initiating project and authorizing feasibility
report on 19th Avenue NE and 11th Avenue NE as they terminate in Dokken-Wright
Addition. The City Administrator indicated this matter had been tabled at the
June 11, 1999, regular meeting to allow staff to explore the development of a
cul-de-sac at the end of 3rd Avenue NE. The City Administrator explained there
was two issues. First is the 3rd Street NE extension or termination in
conjunction with the request by the Hallidays for a subdivision variance. Second
is the temination or extension of 19th & 11th Avenue NE. He noted the extension
of 11th Aw~nue could pose difficulties because of the grade and the same is true
for 19th A"enue. Whether 3rd Street needs to be extended any further than the
Hallidays is questionable. If development of those properties occurs then the
frontage r1ad should be extended to service those properties. It is the Staff's
reconmendation to install a 35 foot cul-de-sac terminating 3rd Avenue that would
service th~ driveways in that area. Cost of the cul-de-sac would be shared by
all three property owners and distribution of assessments would be based on
frontage 0:1 the cul-de-sac. Construction of the cul-de-sac could be done during
this construction season. If the subdivision variance is approved, Staff would
proceed to obtain petition and waivers for the cul-de-sac improvements. The
Hallidays could also construct their driveway off 11th Avenue but the termination
issue of 3'"d Avenue still needs to be addressed. A questionnaire was sent to
Steve Dokken in an attempt to resolve some development issues. Councihnember
Kindseth CJksed for clarification on whether 3rd Avenue needs to be extended.
Staff does.,'t feel 3rd Avenue would have to be extended and believes the Hoysler
parcel could be served from an extension of the frontage road. MnOOT feels
extension of that frontage road could be problematic due to the grades.
Councilmember Waarvik asked if MnOOT would pay for the cost of installing the
frontage r'1ad and the Engineer indicated that MnDOT usually pays for cost of the
road installation with the exception of curb & gutter or sidewalks. There was
discussion about the frontage road extension. After discussion and conments,
Councilmem':ler Kindseth moved for the adoption of Resolution 99-88, approving a
subdivisio"l variance for construction of one dwelling on an unplatted parcel
abutting t"1e Dokken-Wright Addition and 11th Avenue NE requiring a 35 foot cul-
de-sac at the termination of 3rd Street NE. Motion was seconded by Councilmember
Rice and aiopted unanimously.
e
Councinnember Rice moved for the adoption of Resolution 90-96B, initiating
project ard authorizing feasibility report on 10th Avenue NE and 11th Avenue NE
as they te.rminate in Dokken-Wright Addition and also include 3rd Avenue NE cul-
de-sac. ~.,')tion was seconded by Councilmember Hanscom and adopted unanimously.
There was then some discussion regarding termination of 11th Avenue NE and the
need to te"':11linate the road in some form, cul-de-sac or otherwise. Frank Johnson,
415 NW 8tl" Street, suggested that the City pay for one-half of the cost of the
cul-de-sac. The City Engineer explained that a subdivision variance is a "mini
plat" and if Mr. Halliday was required to plat the property he would still incur
the same costs he is now as well as other expenses. The Administrator further
explained the platting process involving land dedication and street improvement
costs.
Counci nnember Rice moved to pass Ordinance 90-08, rezoning Prairie Ridge 2nd
Addition from o-Open Space to R2-Low Density Residential, on second reading.
Motion wa~ seconded by Councinnember Hanscom and upon roll call adopted
unanimously.
Councinnember Waarvik moved to pass Ordinance 90-10, rezoning a 1.5 acre
parcel located at 2426 Park Avenue from C2-Highway Comnercial to R4-High Density
Residenticl, on second reading. Motion was seconded by Councinnember Hanscom and
upon roll call adopted unanimously.
e
The City Administrator reported that Johnson's Fair Bowl and the four Kwik
Trip Storns were now in order as well as the other licenses and ready for
approval. Councinnember Rice moved to approve the following On Sale 3.2 Beer
Licenses: Johnson's Fair Bowl, Pizza Hut, Faribault Family Skating, Southern
China Cafe., and Godfather's Pizza; and to approve the issuance of an On & Off
Sale 3.2 E'~r License for The CUrve Bar; and to approve the following Off Sale
3.2 Beer I.icenses: Kwik Trip #745, Kwik Trip #744, Kwik Trip #772, Kwik Trip
#793, Hy-Vee Food Stores, Holiday StationStore, Nelson's Super Valu, Food
Bonanza, F:::\ul Bunyan, Pester Derby, and SuperAmerica. Motion was seconded by
Councilmen'ber Meillier and adopted unanimously.
Councinnember Rice reported the Finance Comnittee reviewed the building
proposal f ')r a new Chamber of Comnerce building at Her i tage Park. The Comni ttee
met with representatives from the Chamber to discuss the specifics of the
building proposal. The Chamber is requesting that the City extend them a lease
for Lot A in Heritage Park (the lot behind the Bea Duncan Memorial) for 99 years
at $1.00 ~"!r year. The building would be approximately 1,800 square feet and
cost about: $108,0"" to construct. Councinnember Rice further indicated that
parking wag discussed and the need to accomnodate vehicles that may be towing a
boat, etc. The Chamber plans to raise all funds before beginning construction.
The City 1 r3ministrator noted that the building plans would be filed with the
Planning C~mnission to address the variance on the setback requirements and then
it would come back to the Council for final approval. The building would be
placed behind the Bea Duncan Memorial, therefore, placement of the Memorial will
detennine how much of a variance will be needed. Councilmembers suggested
including the Heritage Preservation Comnission on the review so that the building
is compatible with the Memorial and possibly holding a joint meeting with the Bea
Duncan Cownittee. The Housing and Redevelopment Director indicated the HPC met
last night and conceptually approved the Chamber building plans. There was much
e
2
e
discussion about the location of the Chamber building in relation to the Memorial
so as to n':lt detract from it. Steve Anderson, Chairman of the Chamber Building
Task Force, stated they were using the same architect which designed the Memorial
because tl"~y wish to build a building which would enhance it. After much
discussion and conments, Councilmember Rice moved to receive and file Chamber of
Comnerce building proposal at Heritage Park. Motion was seconded by
Councilmenrber Erickson and adopted unanimously.
The HC'llsing and Redevelopment Director reported on the status of the Bea
Duncan Me1rorial. She indicated the necessary funds have been secured for the
construction of the pool and fountain. The two statutes will be erected in the
center of pool. The City would be the general contractor and securing
subcontractors for the necessary work. Councilmember Rice noted that Cedar Lake
Electric d""nated both labor and materials for the memorial. Met-Con and Rainbow
Fountains also donated some materials for the project. Councilmember Kindseth
asked about the Verna Ochs flag pole and banner and how that fits in with the
Memorial. After discussion and conments, Councilmember Rice moved to authorize
the City to proceed with the construction and installation of the Bea Duncan
Memorial. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Meillier and adopted unanimously.
e
The Director of Public Works gave a status report on the stop signs which
were place~ at Ravine Street and 6th Avenue last fall. He indicated the Public
Safety Department feels the stop signs have improved tJ:.c safety of the
intersection and that intersection is a priority during the winter for sanding,
therefore, starting and stopping did not seem to be a problem. Staff reconmends
that the intersection continue to be monitored and if problems arise, report back
to the Cowlcil. Councilmember Rice asked about stop signs. J being on both sides
of street. The Director of Public Works indicated they use two stop signs on
each side of the street in the interim until people are used to stopping and that
one stop sign on each side of the street is nonnal procedure. The City
Adninistra"'or indicated he received complaints that there have been problems with
rolling st':lpS and that they would like to see "yield signs". Staff feels yield
signs could cause more confusion at this point. After discussion and conments,
Councilmember Hanscom moved to receive and file report on Ravine Street stop sign
installation. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Meillier and adopted
unanimously.
The City Engineer indicated that Resolution 9a-97 receives the feasibility
and establishes a July 24, 199a, special assessment hearing. The overall project
will be b~oken down into several phases. phase I would be the watermain
extension from 17th Street to Wasners Garage. Water service will be installed
along Albe.rs Path to accoumodate the Church being built. Sewer will also be
installed along the same area. The lift station will be bid separate from the
pipeline installation. Walcott Township will actually be holding the ~ial
assessment hearing for properties in that area because they are not yet in the
city limits. The cost for Phase I is $346,aaa. He went over the proposed
assessment roll. There was some discussion as to the entire project timetable
and coordination with MnDOT for use of Highway 19 as a detour while Highway 6a
is being redone. Councilmember Hanscom moved for the adoption of Resolution 9a-
97, receiv~ and file feasibility report for water and sewer improvements to the
Glynnview area and order July 24, 199a, public hearing. Motion was seconded by
Councilmember Waarvik and adopted unanimously.

The Director of Public Safety reported the Building Official has inspected
the structure at 1915 NW 2nd Avenue and found it to be hazardous. He noted that
weeds are waist high, windows are boarded up with the exception of the basement
entrance ~'hich is open and accessible to neighborhood children, and rubbish is
being dum~ on the property. The property is owned by William Otting of
Lakeville but it appears to be abandoned. Pictures of the property was
distribute1 for the Council's viewing. He indicated someone keeps removing
boards on the windows and entering the property. The Mayor asked what contact
has been rrade with owner and the Director indicated they spoke with him about
this pro~rty and other properties he owns and have not had good luck with
compliance. Councilmember Rice asked if the building could be used for something
else and the Administrator indicated Mr. Otting is a building mover and has moved
all other buildings on the property except for that one. After discussion and
comnents, Council.member Waarvik moved for the adoption of Resolution 90-98,
