1979 Revision of
Sewer Rates 1979).
sewer rates (deferred
f r om May 2], ,
Richard J. Dougherty, Chief Administrator of the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, responded to several questions from
Councilman Meland exp laining that in 1971, the Commission with money it
acquired from the State LegishtuLe assumed responsibility for over 33
treatment plants. He continued the Commission wiil likely be required to
upgrade its treatment f acilities which will double the operating cost by
1988; he explained the Commission receives a substantial amount of federal
funding; in conjunction with the fees it pays, the City of St. Louis Park
receives from the Commission $78,000 per year for interceptor work required
within the City,.$4,000 for rental of sewer lines and $3,800 for maintenance
work performed by City personnel. He generally explained the method for
determining service charges and stated the rate charged to ind�strial users
has become more equitable since implementation of strength charges.
In response the Councilman Meland regarding whether municipalities have a
fee structure which increases at a greater rate than the volume,.he explained
he was not aware of any such instances.
Councilman Meland wondered if the Commission would approve a rate structure
which would place a greater burden on commercial and industrial users,
charging an incremental rate for outflow. �
Mr. Dougherty stated the City may set rates at any level it chooses; however,
all rates are subject to review by the Commission.
It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Hanks, to defer
the item and requested a report which would address
alternative rate structures which would provide the lowest possible rate to
residential users and consider a system for incremental increases for out-
flow; or a higher charge for commercial and industrial discharge; or whether
or not construction after a certain date could be charged at a higher rate.

At the suggestion of Councilmen Backes and Elstrom, the motion was amended

9b. 4313 Yosemite Avenue; Special permit request of John A. Hansen to expand
Resolution No. 6273 single-family house in F-1 Flood Plain District at
4313 Yosemite Avenue.
The Planning Director explained �that in 1969-70,.the City expressed concern
about development and provisions for the Creek's preservation; an analysis
of the publicly and privately owned portions of the shoreline was conducted•
and acquisition of properties ��as proposed. He said the Council authoriaed
an open space grant application to acquire lands which was approved, and
the City initiated a plan to obtain certain parcels. He added that the Cit}'
Council has also obtained easements (by both dedication and purchase of
property) along the Creek; therefore, through implemenration of the plan
and other regulations approhimately 8p percent of the land alon the Creek
is now designated open space. He described tlie plan for the Creek �ahich is
the guideline for acquisition. He also described the Com rehensive Plan,
adopted by the Council in 1968, in which the Creek is identified as "pu�ifc
lands," and explained that since that time federal law has required the
adoption of flood plain zoning.

I_n response to Councilman Hanks, the Planning Director defined the term
"easement"; he explained "dedication" refers to a method of acquirin an
easement. He continued that the owner when dedicating an easement,gcan
include conditions by which the City would be bound, if accepted.
John A. Hansen stated he wished to expand his house by the addition of a
garage, bedro om and bathroom and believed it inappropriate that he must
$200 for a special permit and $340 for a survey of the property. Ne pay
continued that none of his existing neighbors had expressed an awareness of
a plan for the Creek.
The Planning Director explained that the fees are established by the City
Council, and the $200 f ee is applicable for all special permit uses
including special permits required by the Ordinance Code for construction
within the F-2 District.
Mayor Stern believed the F-2 designation and its requirements should be in-
cluded on the deed or at time of purchase, thus informing buyers of
zoning restrictions.
Councilman Backes ref-erred to Section 14-123.100(2)(a) of the Ordinance
Code and interpreted it to only require an adequate easement or deed for
property along and over each side of the Creek for property which had not
been previously platted in accordance with permit or approval of the City.
The Planning Director explained that applications which fall into the
category being considered are infrequently received, and he listed the
addresses of several similar applications. It was his opinion that the
Council has the prerogative to apply the two provisions within the Code
dealing with the situation.
Councilman Backes asked if the Council has the option within the Code to
not require an easement. The Planning Director believed the intent of
the Code is that an adequate drainage easement be provided.
Mr. Hansen stated the City's right of way agent had informed him there
were no similar easements required by the City. He continued that an
easement for a pedestrian bridge exists in the front of his house.
The City Attorney, responding to Councilman Backes' reference to
Section 14-123.100(2)(a) of the Code, said this could be intrepreted
to mean that if property has been previously platted there is inference
that the matter of easements has been dealt with during the subdivision
process.
Councilman Hanks stated his interpretation would be that the purchaser of
legally platted land should not be required to provide an eas�ment.
Councilman �ackes suggested it did not appear fair that the requirement
for easements would only apply to those properties involved in special
permit or building permit applications.
He agreed �vith Mayor Stern that
the requirement in some way should be recorded so the buyer is ac�are of any
restricCions.

Councilman Martin said some properties exist along the Creek with no

one property owner and perhaps two feet from another.

State law for property along waterways; the Ordinance does not require an
easement of any particular width and allows f lexibility. He said che
purpose of the easement is to maintain the Creek.

Improvement No. 79-04, Natchez Avenue parking
(requested May 21, 1979).
Don Lundeen, property owner at 1630-32 Natchez
Avenue, reiterated reasons for retention of on-street parking stated on
May 21, 1979, and said any change would create a hardship. He said
locating a driveway/parking area on the side property line would be
possible but could create a drainage problem for neighbors in the rear.
He said the property has had head-in parking for 21 years with no accidents
or complaints. He referred to the Council's concern in setting a precedent�
but noted a single-family dwelling at 1477 Jersey Avenue has a head-in
parking area which is blacktopped. He requested a variance rather than
the creation of a hardship.

Councilman Meland asked if an alternative had been considered which would
allow a bay for parallel parking. Tlie Public Works Director explained this
would create snow removal problems; he added khe desi�n is located
primarily in commercial areas or residential areas abutting park land.
Councilman Hanks believed the driveway should be located at the north property
lines; he said the front location without curb would allow cars to park
on the lawn.
Councilman Elstrom said the current practice of parking on street right
of way legally requires a variance to continue. She stated she could not
support continuation of the existing parking.
The moti.on failed 3-4 (Councilmen Martin, Meland and Mayor Stern in favor).
In response to Councilman Backes, Mr. Lundeen explained that a steep hill
exists on the south property line, and the north boundary leads to a hole.
He also belieded apartment residents would compete for the proposed on-
street parking in front of the duplexes.
It was moved by Councilman Hanks, seconded by Councilman Meland, to allow
40 feet of head-in parking to remain in front of 1630-32 and 1622-24 Natchez
