CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 92-12 AMENDING
PRIOR lAKE CITY CODE SECTION 5-2-1 AND ZONING
ORDINANCE 83-6 - BEAUDETTE REZONING C-1 to R-1
DECEMBER 7, 1992
At the November 16, 1992 City Council meeting,
the Council considered a request from Bertha
Beaudette to rezone 1.3 acres from C-1 to R-1.
The rezoning is to allow an Administrative
Land Division to occur.
The Rezoning to R-1 iS necessary because C°f-1
the ten (10) acre minimum lot size in the
zone. No neighbors, utility companies, or
government agencies objected to the rezoning
division. There no
or the proposed land were
public objections at both the Planning
Commission and City Council meetings.
Staff belieVes the site was inadvertently
included in the Conservation District. It has
none of the land uses or physical features
usually associated with Conservation Zoning'.
The site is basically flat with a slope to a
ravine i~ t~.e northern ~ortion of the lot. It
has no slgnlficantphyslcal features, unstable
soils or public land uses such as parks,
churches, and schools. Refinement of a
Conservation District frequently occurs as
development progresses agd land does not meet
the C i requirements as in this case.
The Comprehensive Plan Land use Map i~dicates
the intended use is Low Density Residential
development - single family dwellings.
There are three alternatives available: 1) Approve the rezoning as proposed.
2) Deny the rezoning as proposed.
3) Table the application to request
information.

Staff recommends Alternative 1, approving the
application as submitted.
Approve the rezoning and adopt Ordinance 92-12
to amend the Prior Lake City Code Section
5-2-1 and Zoning Ordinance 83-6 by approving
the consent agenda.

RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF TELEPHONE SYSTEM UPGRADE
DECEMBER 7, 1992
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
DISCUSSION:
The City's telecommunic=tion requirements have
grown extensively over the past years. These
needs have been identified and conveyed to
several companies through RFP's (request for
proposals) in an effort to develop the best
system with respect to effectiveness, and
overall cost.
Several submissions were reviewed and Staff
has narrowed the choices down to two proposals
for ~pecific purposes _ of technological
comparison, cost evaluation and Council
consideration. The two business phone systems
are AT&T and Toshiba, both leading companies
within the telephone industry.
Our current phone system is ten years old and
basically has reached its maximumutilization.
The current system was purchased in 1983
from Toshiba at an approximate cost of
$9,440.00.The initial installation occurred
in conjunction with the building addition
expansion of City Hall.
We have experienced increasing degradation of
phone reception quality, however the present
Toshiba_system has been quite reliable over
this time span. The real necessity ~or
upgrading is premised upon the foilowlng
ob~ectives:
1. Direct Phone Link to the Police Department
Presently nearly 40-50% of all incoming
calls are generated to the Police Dept.
Transferring these phone calls from the
administration receptionist to the police
downstairs creates a real
opera,or ~
inefficiency in duplication of tasks and
time utilization. A separate phone number
with rollover lines within the Police
Department will resolve this issue.
2.0pen Additional Phone Lines for Use.
Presently the _City is experiencing a
shortage of available _lines for outgoing
calls. The lines are tiedup thereby not
only inconveniencing both the public but
also resultina in response delays by Staff.
4629 Da~taSt.$.E.,Prior ~Minnesota55372 r Ph.(612)42~74230 / F~612)~,47-4245
~ EQU~ OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Elimination of this bottleneck would be
achieved by freeing up5 additional lines
with the separation of police calls.
Pooling of the lines would actually allow
rollover to lines not in use in both the
Police and Administration levels, thereby
maximizing utilization.
3. Automated Attendant
An automated attendant will handle calls in
a swift and. courteous manner, instructing
callers on now to proceed thereby relieving
long ring delays, extensive waits on hold
and ring-no-answers. It can relieve much of
the operator's workload, freeing them for
other .duties, an~ can act as a backup
answering calls when the receptionist is
busy.
Incorporating such automation features
allows for greater utilization of existing
personnel and, at the same time, provide
quicker access to.department personnel by
the Public. An au=omated attendant provides
faster call destination by allowing direct
dialing simply by touch tone activation
versus routing by call transfer. Yet at the
same time, the option of personal contact
with the receptionist is also provided. A
directory listing for callers, both
alphabetical and departmental, may be made
available by menu selections.
4. Voice Mail
Voice messaging on a broad application can
be extremely advantageous. The system is
designed to eliminate "telephone tag" and
incorrect messages by providing voice mail
boxes. Other features include beeper
notification whereby a beeper can be
automatically dialed upon message reception
or screened for urgent messages only.
5. Digital Phone Technology
Higher quality of voice tone is derived
'from digital phone systems as opposed to
electronic phones of the past.
Because a
digital system is software driven it is
more reliable_ than electronic_ voiltages and
is not subject to associated interferences
such as radio waves, short wave and other
static effects of electricity.
Based upon assessment of the aforementioned
needs Staff solicited and received the
following proposals. The system bid was to
accommodate 13 central office lines and 45
digital stations expandable to a combination
of 96 ports/lines and or phone stations to
prov%de adequate growth and flexibility in
conflgurat!on. Each of the RFP's have included
the tradeTln value of our present phone system
in computing the net cost of their respective
bids.

During the course of.analyzing the individual
p~oposals, Staff visited each site and and was
given a cursory demonstration of how the
system would function and address our
particular needs. For the most part they all
satisfied our basic requirements. However,
AT&T's proposal was based upon a refurbished
system because they were unable to price a
package within our price range.
The Toshiba Strata phone system proposed by
ESI Communication came out on top, Primarily
because of the ease of use of their voice mail
and auto attendant system known as Compass,
their areawide support network and lower cost
of the overall system.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Within the Buildings & Plant department.of the
1992 Budget funds have been reserved in the
amount of $5,000.00 as an initial installment
for a lease ~urchase financing agreement.
Future allocations have been incorporated ~nto
the 1993 CIP, recently adopted by the City
Council.
Assuming the Toshiba DK96 Strata system
proposed by ESI Communications Inc. is
approved, the following %easing option would
be entered into by the C~ty of Prior Lake:
36 MONTH LEASE PURCHASE ($1.00 buyout)
Lease factor - .03329
Interest Rate - 12.15%
Purchase Amount $18 000 00
Initial Pa~ent ~ '~
Financed Amount ... ~13(000 O0
Monthly Installment ... ~432 ~ 77
Total Interest Cost ... $2,579.72
Total System Cost ... $20,579.72
RECOMMENDATION:
Accomplishing the preceding goals will
increase ~roductivity 9nd enhance the
telecommun~cation capabilities of the City.
Therefore Staff would recommend that the
replacement of our current phone system be
awarded to ESI Communications Inc.
ALTERNATIVES
ACTION REQUIRED:
The available alternatives are outlined below
for Council consideration:
1. Approve the ESI proposal for upgrading the
City's telephone system.
2. Select another vendor which the Council
deems more appropriate.
3. Reject all proposals and continue with our
existing telephone system.
Motion to award the City's telephone system
upgrade in the amount of $18,000.00 to ESI
Communication Inc. as part of the consent
agenda is in order.

Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. on two
occasions to discuss the proposed Shoreland
Management Ordinance revisions. Council will
be reviewin~ the revisions at a later date
possibly using workshop(s) and/or the required
public hearing process.
The City Council was advised that the payment
of the consultant service was reimbursable by
a 50% state grant administered by t~e DNR.
The grant was to be given following the
adoption of the ordinance by JanUary 4, 1993.
Staff does not believe the Council can meet
this date and has applied to the DNR for an
extension of the adoption date (see attached
letter). The request specifically calls for a
sixty day (March 4) adoption date.
staff has not received approval of the
extension but is aware of other municipalities
who have received the extension.
At this time Northwest Associated Consultants
Inc. is requesting partial payment for
services rendered to date. The bill is for
$1,773 26. The total budget for the project
is $3]§00.00. Staff believes the Council
should pay for this cost through the

Dear Pat,
This letter is in response to our conversation last week relative
to the time frame for the City of Prior Lake to adopt revised
Shoreland Management Rules. The purpose of this letter is to
request the Department of Natural Resources to authorize a sixty
day time extension to formally adopt the new rules. The City
also requests consideration to allow the extension of the
matching grant, offered b~ the Department, for adoption and
implementation of the new ru~es.
The City of Prior Lake has retained Steven Grittman of Northwest
Associated Consultants, Inc., to assist in the shoreland
ordinance revision process. See attached agreement dated
September 16, 1992. Attached is a memorandum dated September
22, 1992 outlining the anticipated time. frame for ordinance
adoption. The City has worked with Mr. Grittman and has thus far
considered two draft ordinances dated October 6, 1992 and
November 9, 1992.
On November 12, 1992 the City Council hosted a public workshop to
discuss the shoreland management revisions and process. At that
time, Mr. Grittman was directed to incorporate changes to the
model ordinance related to conditional use permit procedures for
the combination of substandard lots and to revise chapters
concerning water oriented accessory structures and ~sland
development zones. Once the language is drafted' Mr. Grittman
will mail copies to City Officials for review. The City Council
will decide at that poin% on a future course of action to adopt
the revised rules which may include additional workshops prior to
the initiation of the public hearing process. At this point,

LAND
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
In 1991, Randell Livingston was issued a
building permit to construct a duplex at 16180
Evanston Avenue $.E. The site and structure
has met all applicable codes for a duplex. In
addition, the duplex also meets state building
codes and local standards for twin homes.
Mr. Randell has completed the structure and is
sell%ng it as a twin home. This concept
requires a land division along the common wall
together with a declaration of covenants,
conditions, and restrictions. Unfortunately,
Prior Lake's Zoning code does not contain a
provision for converting .duplexes to twin
homes. The only avenue is to follow the
subdivision code which will also require the
filing of four variances. The resulting two
lots are deficient in size and width. The
followigg variances are required for the
conversion of the duplex to a twin home.
Parcel A -
16180 Evanston Av
Parcel B -
16182 Evanston Av
19 ft. lot width variance
55 sq. ft. area variance
18.3 ft.lot width variance
The subject site is located in an R-2
Residential District which requires 6000
square foot minimum lots and 60 feet of width.
The subject neighborhood consists of
predominately older homes on 50 to 75 foot
lots. Although ~he R-2 Zone is more conducive
to rental situations than the R-1 District,
this neighborhood has few rental conditions.
Consequently the conversion of this duplex to
two owner occupied units is consistent with
the character of the neighborhood. Land use
studies have verified that owner occupied
units maintain higher property values and a
higher degree of maintenance than rental
units. The variances in this situation would

DISCUSSION:
not be detrimental to the general health and
welfare of the neighborhood and community.
As part of the Administrative Land Division
process, abutting land owners are notified of
the proposal. With the inclusion of a
variance, property owners within ?ne hundred
(100) feet of the exterior boundaries of the
property are notified. They are given ten
(10) days to object to the proposal. The City
did not receive any objections in writing or
by phone within the time limit. Utility
companies and City departments are also given
the opportunity to comment on the proposed
development. Utility companies had no
comments, and the only comment from the City
Staff was regarding turf establishment and
receiving drainage and utility easements. The
applicant must provide to the City in a quit
claim deed, drainage and utility easements for
the perimeter of the lot. The easement shall
be five (5) feet wide on the side property
lines and ten (10) feet wide at the front and
rear lines. The bare soil on site must have
turf established and erosion control
maintained until the turf is established. Hay
bale erosion control is currently on site and
functioning. Obviously it will be impossible
to establish turf at this time of yegr.
Therefore, the city will require a certified
check in the amount of five hundred dollars
($500) to insure the sodding. If the
applicant does not sod the area by June 1,
1993, the City will sod it and charge the
applicant accordingly using the funds from the
certified check.
The applicant has supplied a Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions which
apply to the structure and lots (attached).
~hls is a binding l~gal document which
indicates definitions, rights,
responsibilities, etc. applicable to almost
any instance. This is an essential document
for an ownership of this type. It prevents
one owner from allowing their half to devalue
the other half or from having a negative
impact on the other unit. Specific criteria
are indicated for building materials, repairs
and damages, and exterior uses. Both parties
must abide by these rules.
COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN IMPACT:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map indicates
medium density residential land use. A
twinhome or duplex is the intended type of
structure for this land use density. The
zoning corresponds to the land use.

insurance in Section 3(a), all insurance proceeds shall be paid
to the Owner and the first Mortgagee of the Living Unit. The
insurance proceeds shall be applied and administered as follows:
(i) The insurance proceeds shall be deposited by

funds sufficient to pay all construction costs, as
determined by the title insurance company, are deposited
in escrow by the Owner. The first Mortgagee shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to deposit the addi-
tional funds in excess of the insurance proceeds that

be construed to make the first Mortgagee or any other
person other than the Owner of the destroyed or damaged
Living Unit responsible for collection or noncollection
of any insurance proceeds. Such first Mortgagee or
-3-
other persons shall be responsible only for the insur-
ance proceeds which come into their hands. The Owner of

ance with all-risk endorsements and to the extent benefits are.

Lot or Living Unit from all claims for damage or destruction of
their respective physical properties if such damage or destruc-
tion is covered by the standard Minnesota form of fire and
extended coverage insurance.

contained in this Declaration shall be construed to give, nor
shall any Owner have, priority over any first Mortgagee with
respect to the distribution for or on behalf of any Lot of any
insurance proceeds~ The distribution of insurance proceeds for
any reason whatsoever shai1 be made to the Owner only after
securing in each individual case the specific consent to such
distribution by the first Mortgagee of the Lot.

wall which is built as part of the original construction of any
Living Unit on the Property and which is used as a wall in con-
nection with the construction of any other Living Unit, shall
constitute a party wall, and to the extent not inconsistent with
the provisions of this Section 4, the general rules of law
regarding party walls and of liability for property damage due to
negligent or willful acts or omissions shall apply thereto.
(b) Share of Repair and Maintenance. The cost of rea-
sonable repair and maintenance of a party wall shall be paid
equally by the Owners who are using the wall at the time of com-
pletion of such repair and maintenance.
(c) Destruction or Damage. If a party wall is
destroyed or damaged by any cause, any Owner who has use for the
wall may restore it, and shall have an easement upon the adjoin-
ing Living Unit for such restoration. If any other Owner there-
after makes use of the wall, he shall contribute to the cost of
restoration in proportion to such use without prejudice, however,
to the right of the Owner making the restoration to call for a
larger contribution from the other under any rule regarding
liability for negligent or willful acts or omissions.
(d) Weatherproofing. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion contained in this Section 4, any Owner who, by negligent or
willful act, causes the party wall to be exposed to the elements
-4-
shall bear the whole cost of furnishing the necessary protection
against such elements and repairing any resulting damage.
(e) Right to Contribution Runs With the Land. The
right of any Owner to contribution from any other Owner unaer
this Section ¢ shall be appurtenant to the Lot and shall pass to
such Owner's successors in title.
5. ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL. (a) Restrictions Applicable to
Replacement and Restoration. The Owner of a Living Unit shall
replace or repair the exterior components of his Living Unit with
similar components of the same design, quality and color, and
shall paint or stain the exterior of his Living Unit with paint
or stain of the same quality and color of the existing exterior.
Such Owner may not, either in the course of ordinary replacement,
remodeling or restoration after damage or dest,ruction, employ
dSfferent siding or roofing material or a different color scheme
without the consent of the Owner of the adjoining Living Unit.
(b) Restrictions Applicable to Exterior Improvements.
Except for improvements or alterations by the Declarant or a
successor developer, no building, fence, wall, walkway, patio or
other structure shall be commenced, erected or maintained upon
any Lot; nor shall any exterior addition, change or alteration be
made to any Living Unit; nor shall any shrubs, trees or bushes be
placed within a Lot or any thing of a permanent nature be placed,
planted or constructed within a Lot, exterior to the Living Unit
thereon, until the plans and specifications showing the nature,
kind, shape, height, materials and location of the same have been
submitted to, and approved in writing as to harmony of external
design and location in relation to the surrounding structures and
topography by, the Owner of the adjoining Living Unit. If the
Owner of the adjoining Living Unit fails to approve or disapprove
the design and location within thirty (30) days after submission
of the plans and specifications to him, or in the event that no
action to enjoin the addition, alteration or change has been
commenced prior to the completion thereof, approval will not be
required and this Section 5(b) shall be deemed to have been fully
complied'with. The prevailing party in an action brought by the
Owner of the adjoining Living Unit under this Section 5(bi shall
be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorney's
fees and costs incurred in connection therewith.
(c) Commencement of Action to Enjoin Addition or
Change. The failure to submit plans and specifications to the
Owner of the adjoining Living Unit under Section 5(b) shall con-
stitute grounds for an action to enjoin any such addition,
alteration or change, provided that the action for injunctive
relief is commenced prior to the completion of the addition,
alteration or change.
6. EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE. (a) General Maintenance
Obligation. Each Owner shall maintain, in good condition and
repair, his Lot and all exterior improvements thereon, including,
-5-
but not limited to, the exterior building surfaces, roofs,

individual utility installations on or serving his Living Unit.
If an Owner fails to perform his obligations under this Section
6(a), or if the need for repair or maintenance is caused by the
negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Owner, and upon ten
(10) days written notice to such Owner~ the Owner of the adjoin-
ing Living Unit shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
enter the Living Unit of the defaulting Owner and make or perform
the repairs or maintenance. In such event, the defaulting Owner
shall immediately reimburse the Owner of the adjoining Living
Unit for all amounts expended or incurred in making the repairs
or maintenance, together with reasonable attorney's fees and
costs of collection thereof.
(b) Common Utilities Maintenance Obligation. If any of
the Lots are served by common utility lines, the cost of the rea-
sonable repair, maintenance and restoration of such common util-
ity lines shall be shared equally by the Owners of the benefited
Lots. If any common utility line needs repair or maintenance and
any Owner fails or refuses to participate in the cost thereof,
any other Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation,
after reasonable notice to such Owner, to enter upon and make or
perform the necessary inspection, repairs and maintenance to the
common utility line. In such event, the Owner making or perform-
ing the inspection, repairs or maintenance shall be entitled to
contribution from any nonparticipating Owner for the
proportionate share of the amount expended or incurred therefor,
together with reasonable attorney's fees and costs of collection
thereof.
(c) Access for Emergency Repairs. In case of an emer-
gency originating in or threatening any Lot or Living Unit, the
Owner of the adjoining Living Unit shall have an immediate right
of entry onto the Lot or Living Unit of the other Owner. The
Owner of the adjoining Living Unit, in making such entry onto
such Lot or Living Unit, shall use reasonable care to avoid unne-
cessary damage to the entered Lot or Living Unit. Any cost or
expense incurred to remove the emergency condition shall be the
obligation of the Owner of the entered Lot or Living Unit, who
shall indemnify and hold the entering Owner harmless from any and
all liability therefor. Ail such entries shall be made and done
so as to cause as little inconvenience as possible to the Owner
of the entered Lot or Living Unit.
7. EASEMENTS AND RIGHT OF LATERAL SUPPORT. (a) Uninten-
tional Encroachment Easement. If the centerline of the party
wall between the Living Units is not coincident with the dividing
line between the Lots upon which the Living Units are constructed
for the length of the party wall, or if any other portions of a
Living Unit encroach upon the adjoining Lot because of settling
or shifting of the building or other cause, then the Owner of the
Lot with the encroaching Living Unit shall have an easement over
the adjoining Lot for such encroachment so long as the
encroachment shall exist.
-6-
(b) Vtility Easement. The title of each Owner to his
Lot shall be subject to an easement for any common utility
installations to the extent they encroach upon his Lot, and each
Owner shall have an appurtenant easement for any common utility
installations to the extent they encroach upon adjoining Lots.
(c) Owner's Right of Lateral Support. Each Owner shall
have the right to lateral support for the Living Unit on his Lot.
(d) Duration of Easements and owner's Rights. The
easements and right of lateral support created hereby shall be
appurtenant to and pass with the title to each Lot.
(e) Restoration Obligation. Ail inspections, repairs
or maintenance to the utility systems on the Property shall be
made or performed so as to minimize damage to the Lots, which
shall be restored to their original condition promptly upon com-
pletion of the work by the Owner causing the damage.
8. BUILDING AND USE RESTRICTIONS. (a) Residential Use.

CONTINUATION OF LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE
DECEMBER 7, 1992
INTRODUCTIONs
This item is a continuation of two previous
readings of the landscape ordinance: Greg
Kopischke of Westwood Planning and Engineering
is the consultant responsible for the draft
language. He will be making a presentation
and discuss changes from the previous draft as
directed by the Council.
DISCUSSION:
There were two major changes suggested by the
Council. One was to adapt the ordinance to
common property lines of the downtown business
district. It was decided that it would be
appr?priate to exempt this area from the
requirements of the ordinance. Paragraph B-3
on page 2 exempts the downtown redevelopment
district from the. requirements of the
ordinance. Normally redevelopment districts
have plans which specify specific landscaping
standards and treatments.
The second change was organizational in
nature. The suggested change was to divide the
purpose section into a purpose and application
section. This revision makes it considerably
easier to both follow and reference the
ordinance. The Council also suggested that
paragraph 4 on page 8.be amended to include
that a letter of credit be placed on file with
the City when the building permit is issued.
ALTERNATIVES:
Approve the ordinance as submitted.
Continue the hearing for purposes of
making changes and additions.
Deny the ordinance and close the hearing
process.
RECOMMENDATION:
Alternatives i and 2 as may be necessary.
ACTION REQUIRED: Depends on Council direction.

ORDINANCE NO. 92-10
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PRIOR I2%KE CITY CODE AND PRIOR LAKE
ORDINANCE NO. 83-6.
ZONING
The Council of the City of Prior Lake does hereby ordain:
CITY CODE SECTION 5-5-10: SCREENING: AND PRIOR LAKE
ORDINANCE 83-5 SECTION 6.10 are hereby amended to
following language:
ZONING
add the
(A) Purpose:
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish performance
standards 9nd minimu9 requirements for landscap%ng, buffering
and screening that will enhance the visual, environmental and
aesthetic character of property and site development within
the City. The City Staff, Planning Commission and City
Council will utilize these standards in the review and
evaluation of subdivision and site plans and development
proposals.
The objectives of these requirements are to establish and
maintain forestation of the City; to provide appropriate
ground cover vegetation for controlled soil erosion; to
preserve and enhance, when necessary, the natural
environment, particularly in instances where the natural
environment is disturbed during the course of development;
and to establish standards for utilization of natural and
other materials to achieve desired screening, buffering'and
landscaping.
This ordinance sets forth minimum requirements for
landscaping, reforestation and technical limitations to
assure that the result is consistent with reasonable
maintenance requirements on a long-term basis and to assure
that the results provide landscape amenities to the urban
environment.
This ordinance is %ntended to provide .standards that .allow
flexibility in design agd individual s~te need~. Designers
are encouraged ~o utilize a variety of s~te landscape
elements (i.e., trees, shrubs, ground covers, flowers, berms
and ground form, fences, walls, existing topography and
vegetation, artforms, and other similar items), in creative
ways that are aesthetically pleasing .yet functional w~ere
required. In addition to compliance with subsequent sections
of this ordinance, plan review by the City Planning
Department will include such items as: choice of materials,
especially plantings, to determine if they are functionally
appropriate, for the intended purp?se; hardiness;
disease-resistance; compatible choice and mix of materials;
do materials comp%ement agd/or provide pleasing, contrast to
on-site and off-site conditions to maintain interest: and
other issues as site appropriate. Specific site plans may be
required to go beyond the minimum requirements to meet the
purpose and objectives of this ordinance due to unique or
exceptional circumstances and conditions which are existing
or proposed.
(B) Application:
This ordinance applies to all business, industrial,
multi-family residential (projects of 3 or more dwelling
units per building)( public and institutional uses.as may be
permitted or conditional within their respectlve zoning
districts.
Existing uses shall also comply with this ordinance when they
apply for a building permit. Exceptions include additions
that in total are under ten percent of the existing
structure's gross floor area or 4,000 square feet, whichever
is less.
The Downtown Redevelopment District as defined by Ordinance
No. shall be exempt from this ordinance.
(C) General Provisions and Landscape Requirements:
To help assure the best possible results, plans must be
prepared and certified by a Registered Landscape Architect in
the State of Minnesota for:
a)
business, industrial, public and institutional
development projects with sites over 20,000 square feet
or gross building area of 4,000 square feet or more,
whichever is less;
b)
multi-family residential projects of 8 or more dwelling
units per building.
Projects smaller than identified above shall be prepared by
either a registered landscape architect or a professional
site planner with educational training or work experience in
site analysis and landscape plan preparation.
The quantity of plant materials shown on the landscape plans
of proposed developments shall meet or exceed the minimums as
defined herein.
The City requires landscape treatment of the whole site to
include the following elements:
a) The site perimeter.
2
b)
c)
d)
The."entr¥" focal area(s) of a development (i.e., major
entity dr~ves, corner areas, signage locations, and
other similar focal points).
The parking lot landscape.
Screening of mechanical equipment, exterior storage,
loading docks, trash ~torage, or visual clutter as
identified by the City ~n the plan review process.
4. The plant materials used. m~st meet or exceed the City
standards of size and specie in.order to qualify for credit
towards the landscape requirement. Additional plant
materials smaller than required herein may be appropriate and
necessary to achieve the design effect.
Preservation of .existing vegetation on site, if it can
successfully be ~ncorporated into the .landscape plan, is
encouraged and will be credited toward the landscape
requirement.
e
Plantings at street intersections shall not block visibility
within a clear view triangle.
Plantings shall not interfere with drainage patterns,
unreasonable conflict with utilities (i.e., frequent
near overhead power lines, etc.) or restrict access
utilities.
create
pruning
to any
Landscape coverage shall be defined as all ground areas
surrounding the principal building and accessory buildings
which are not garden areas, driveways, parking lots,
sidewalks or patios. All ground areas shall be landscaped
with grass, shrubs, trees or other approved ornamental
landscape material.
(D) Calculation of Requirements, Credits and Sizes:
The planting requirement shall be the sum of the following
separate requirements. These formulas are only intended as a
method to generate a quantitative performance level and not a
design instruction. Creativity of design is encouraged to
provide specific solutions.
a)
Tree Calculation:
Business/Indust~ipl/Public/Institutional sites shall
contain, at a minimum, the greater of:
1. I tree required per 40' of site perimeter, or
2. 1 tree per 1000 square feet of ~ross buildipg area.
Multi-residential sites shall contain, at a minimum, the
greater of:
1. 1 tree per dwelling unit, or
2. 1 tree required per 40' of site perimeter.
b)
Entry Plantings: Each major entry point, focal point,
etc.,(see Section (C)2, b), into the project or building
3
shall be treated with landscape development (trees,
shrubs, etc.). No numerical requirement of plants is
offered, but every development project has at least one
such feature, and the landgcap~ plan ghall r~flee~
proposed treatment. Trees required on the perimeter
calculation are not applicable to this design feature.
c)
Parking Lot Landscape: As identified in Section (E)(1
and 4), parking lot islands and screening shall be
provided. No numerical requirement for plants is
provided, but use of canopy trees to pr?vide shade and
shrubs to soften the internal sight lines and screen
small storage areas is required.
d)
Miscellaneous Screenings: As identified in Section (F)
Other Screening, miscellaneous screening shall be
provided. No numerical requirement for plants is
provided and the perimeter tree planting requirement may
be used to provide trees for this ~urpose but the
effectiveness shall be as described in Section (F),
Other Screening.
Plant Sizes: Plants provided by the developer as credit for
meeting the landscape requirement shall meet the following
size criteria:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Deciduous Canopy Trees: 2 1/2" caliper B & B (at 6"
above ground).
Coniferous Trees: 6' high B & B
Others:
1. Ornamental or half trees: 1-3/4" caliper B & B (can
substitute for canopy trees at a ratio of 2
ornamental/half trees for i canopy tree).
2. Other shrubs: No minimum, except that they must
meet the stated purpose (screening, etc.).
Ail plantings shall be appropriate to the hardiness zone
and physical characteristics of the site. They shall
conform to the size and quality standards in the most
current edition of the American Standard for Nursery
Stock as published by the American Association of
Nurserymen.
All .deciduous trees proposed to meet the minimum
requirement? shall be long-lived, hardwood ~pecies. A
list of desirable and ~rohibited plan~ material species
is incorporated as policy in this ordinance and will be
maintained and kept on file with the City Planning
Department.
The complement of trees fulfilling the minimum
requirements shall typically not be less than 25%
deciduous and not less than 25% coniferous to maintain a
mix ?f plant types. Any proposed modification to this
requirement will conslder the site specific design
4
g)
solution if site conditions are deemed appropriate and
other functional requirements (screening, etc.) are
met.
Installation will be in accordance with professional
horticultural standards as' established with the most
current edition of the Landscape Construction Reference
Manual as published by the American Nursery and
Landscape Association·
Credits for Existing Materials: The developer may request
credit for plant materials preserved on.site provided it is
demonstrated that they have accurately identified (by specie)
and located (by survey), their correct location shown on the
grading plan and that appropriate measures will be taken and
are shown and/or noted on the grading plan to ensure their
protection and survival (i.e.; snow fence barrier,
appropriate distance to tree base and root structure,
pruning, watering, mulching, root protection/pruning~ timing,
fertilization, tree removal plan/techniques, disease
prevention, method to prevent soil compaction over root
systems, etc.). This tree protection/preservation plan
should be prepared by a qualified forester, registered
landscape architect, or arborist.
a)
b)
c)
Existing trees must conform to the minimum size
requirements (identified in 2 above) to be credited.
Plants must be of approved species as currently recorded
b~ the City as appropriate materials. Weak wooded and
disease prone species are not suitable for credit.
The extent of credit will be based on staff review of
data (plans and narrative) presented by the developer.
Criteria will include ty~e of material, size, quality,
location and extent of site coverage.
4. Variation of Plant Sizes:
a)
b)
For all landscape plans, at least 10% of the coniferous
and/or deciduous canopy trees must exceed the minimum
size (to 8' high and 3 1/2" cali~er B & B respectively)
to establish some diversity in size.
For multi-family projects, 20% of the required plants
shall be of the larger sizes. These .plants shall be
used in the areas for strategic screening, softening of
buildings, focal point enhancement, adjacent to
recreational areas for shade, etc.
(E) Parking Lot Landscape:
To avoid undesirable monotony, heat and wind associated with
large parking lots, such lots shall have lineal and row end
internal landscaped island/traffic delineators in addition to
any required traffic safety islands. Landscape.islands shall
be at least 5% of the paved parking lot area ~n excess of
3000 square feet. A parking island is considered to be 9' x
5
18' or 162 square feet (equivalent of one parking stall).
although the shape and location will be a design option
of
the developer. Minimum width shall be 6 feet.
Industrial storage yards, outdoor retail display areas or
similar type areas are exempted from the parking lot island
requirement.
Landscaping of parking lot islands shall include some
combination of mulch, lawn, shrubs and/or trees. The intent
is to provide shade, focus or promote traffic patterns,
(define drive aisles and rows of parking), limit rows of
visually uninterrupted parkigg stalls to a maximum of 180
feet, soften ground level views, yet maintain appropriate
visibility for safety.
Parking lot screening shall be provided on the perimeter of
any new parking lot.
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Screening shall be provided using a combination of
shrubs, coniferous trees, fencing, berming, etc., to
minimize the effect of headlights and reflected light
from bumpers, grills, and headlights. Screening must
attempt to address at least 60% of the perimeter where
views of the parking lot could originate.
Effectiveness of the screening shall be 80% opacity
year-round.
Berming must achieve a 30" height to provide 80% opacity
on 3' high screening. (Berms cannot be used as the only
method of screening. They must be used in combination
with other elements.)
Plant materials must be spaced no more than 30" apart on
single rows of deciduous shrubs, 48" apart on double
staggered rows of deciduous shrubs, with initial planted
height of at least 2' (spacing may vary, subject to
species used)·
Coniferous trees must be pla?ed no further than 8'
apart, to be counted as screening.
Se
Ail parking lot islands or landscgpe areas must be separated
from the parking surface by cast in place concrete curbs.
(F) Other Screening:
Developers shall make design efforts to fully screen service
areas, trash storage, loading, mechanical equipment, and
other similar areas, from view by the .general .public or
adjacent residential areas. The screening provisions for
parking lots shall be followed except that berming heights
must be increased to a minimum of 4' with an overall
effective screening height of 6'. (Berms cannot be used as
the only method of screening. They must be used in
combination with other elements.) Each site will be evaluated
6
as to its specific needs and solution which may exceed these
minimum standards.
(G) Grounds and Lawns:
Ail areas must be finished off with a stable landscape
(trees, shrubs, turf, mulch, etc.) or hard constructed
surface (concrete, bituminous, pavers, etc.). No site areas
can be left unfinished, subject to erosion. Landscape rock
or bark/wood chi~ mulch may be substituted for sod in shrub
and flower planting beds and building maintenance strips.
All lawn areas and drainage swales shall be sodded. At least
a 2-foot width of sod shall be provided between all
paved/curbed areas and seeded/natural/native areas to provide
a finished edge and control erosion. Seeding or reseeding is
allowed for less visible or large and remote portions of a
site that are unused or subject to future development. Seed
mixes could include prairie grass or other appropriate
iow-maintenance mixes. Athletic fields may be seeded.
Slopes in excess of 3:1 will not be allowed in areas intended
for maintained turf. Slopes of up to 1-1/2:1 may be allowed
with a slope ~tabilization plan approved by the City;
otherwise terracing and/or retaining walls will be required.
Ail areas to be lawn and landscaped shall have a built-in
irrigation system. An irrigation plan shall be required at
the time of obtaining the building permit. This plan shall
indicate the overlapping pattern, head type, control type and
location, source of water and connection method. The system
plan shall be prepared by a gualified designer with
experience designing systems for similar uses (project type
and size). Permanent underground irrigation is not required
for existing, new or re-established natural or native plant
communities.
Se
Undisturbed areas containing existing viable natural or
native vegetation shall be maintained free of foreign or
noxious plant materials. Top seeding or enhancement of these
areas should occur as needed and appropriate to fill in thin
areas and revitalize the existing vegetation.
(H) Maintenance Standards:
All cultivated landscape areas shall be maintained by the
property owner to present a healthy, neat and orderly area.
This shall include:
a) Maintain a healthy, pest-free condition.
b) Remove dead, diseased or dangerous trees or shrubs or
parts thereof.
c) Provide appropriate pruning per National Arborist
Association and American Nurserymen Association
Standards.
7
d)
e)
f)
Mowing and/or removal of noxious weeds and grasses.
Remove trash and other debris.
Watering to ensure plant growth and survival.
2. Natural or native plant communities shall be managed in
order to maintain the plant community for the purpose that it
was preserved or created. This includes trimming as needed
of all noxious vegetation and long g{asses, removal of trash
or other debris and other horticulturally appropriate
maintenance methods for the specific type of plant
community.
(I) Performance Guarantee:
All plants shall be guaranteed by the developer for one year
after total project acceptance.
The irrigation system shall be guaranteed for one year
concurrent with the plant guarantee. This will assure one
winter season with a fall shut down and spring start-up.
The developer shall notify the City prior to total project
acceptance, for City concurrence on the acceptability of the
complete landscape and irrigation system installation. The
City shall issue a letter accepting the landscape and
irrlgation system installation and therein fixing the date
for guarantee purposes.
The developer shall post a letter of credit with the City for
the complete landscape and .irrigation system installation
when the building permit is issued (plants, irrigation,
mulch and edgers). The letter of credit shall be held by the
City and used, if necessary, to effect satisfactory
completion of the project in the event of incomplete or
failed work. The value of the letter of credit shall be 125%
of the estimated construction costs for plants, irrigation
system, mulch and edgers.
Release of the letter of credit or unused balance shall occur
following the City review of landscape and irrigation
system w~thin 10 days prior to the expiration of guarantee,
providing that plants are acceptable and irrigation system is
operable on that date.
(J) Submission Requirements:
Landscape plans must be drawn to scale, show a%l proposed
plants, quantities and sizes, seed/sod areas/limits, etc.
The plan(s) must include the entire project area. Include
project name, developer, registered landscape architect or

etc.), site lighting, off site conditions approximately 100
feet beyond the site, and other site conditions that would be
expected to affect landscaping.
Calculations to evaluate .compliance with the ordinance
~rovisions including: area in square footage and percentage
in total area for building, parking lot (including
driveways), landscape areas and total area; and quantities of
trees and shrubs required and planted or preserved.
Supportive plans, details, written narrative notes,
cross-sections or other information as may be required by the
Planning Staff that is reasonable and necessary to
demonstrate the design intent and general compliance with
this ordinance, including, but not limited to, items listed
under Section (C) 2.
4. Fifteen copies of all plans shall be submitted.
This Ordinance shall become effective from and after its passage
and publication.

RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
CONSIDER CARPET REPLACEMENT FOR CITY HALL
DECEMBER 7, 1992
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
DISCUSSION:
The purpose for.this agenda item is for the
Council to consider replacement of the carpet
lithin City Hall. The scope of the carpet
nstallation would include the main entry
lobby, Police Department and the Councii
Chambers on the lower level. In addition, the
entire 2nd floor including the steps leading
up to the central administration level is in
similar condition. The back stairway and the
community room would be excluded as these
areas have not incurred the wear and tear as
those heavily traffic areas of above, and are
in relatively good shape.
Origin~l City Hall underwent a 5270 sq. ft.
expansion addition in 1983_plus an extensive
remodeling of the existing facility. New
carpet was installed throughout the building
at that time which is now approximately 10
years old.
Most areas of the building display extensive
wear, and either the carpet is stained beyond
restoration or, especially in the Police
Department, carpet seams have separated and
actual rips in the carpet are evident.
The upper level, while in better shape, does
exhibit similar signs of wear. It would appear
that the most logical approach would be to
re-carpet the entire building as a whole to
achieve a uniform appearance. However Staff
has requested quotes on the basis of
separating out the two building_levels if the
Council would choose to phase in the carpet
replacement over two years.
Therefore, based upon the above
the following quotes were solicited:

The carpet price is basically $9.80/yd. plus
sales tax which is for a fairly good quality
commercial carpeting.
1. Accept the low bid of Lake's Interior in
the amount of $23,777.08.
2. Split the bid into two phases, awarding the
lower level carpeting to Lake's Interiors
in the amount of $9,586.93.
3. Rej@ct all bids and delay the re-carpeting
until a later date.
Staff would recommend that the re-carpeting be
completed in its entirety and approve the low
quote submitted by Lake's Interiors. Since the
work would be completed during bthee daytime,
maintenance personnel would available
depending upon snowplow demands to move
furniture. This would save an additional
$800.00 from the proposal cost~ Also it would
be necessary to approve the funding from the
Contingent Reserve.
Our current balance in the Contingent Reserve
is nearly $45,000.00 and if unused would lapse
into the General Fund balance. Since it is so
near the year end and the need is evident, it
would seem appropriate to allocate a portion
of these funds for such a maintenance expense.
Motion to approve'the, re-cgrpeting of City
Hall to Lake's Interxors' zn an amount of
$23,777.08 (subject to a labor deduct for
furniture moving). Also a motion, to
appropriate the funds from the Contingent
Reserve would be in order.
