the Board is working on a proposal to use some of the City's reserve
funds to start initial stages of expansion of the Library building.
Councilmember Holmgren indicated that the Community Center Task Force
had suggested that the Community Center look at housing the Library.
He indicated that perhaps the Library Board put a delay on their plans
for expansion until a recommendation is made by the Community Center
Task Force. The Council thanked Mick Stoffers for the Library annual
report.
6.2. Street. Department Annual Report /Phil -Hals
Phil Hals, Street Superintendent, gave a slide presentation to the
Council as he presented his annual report. Phil Hals highlighted the

his staff for their enthusiasm and efficiency.
6.3. Administration Annual Report /Sandy Thackeray
• Sandy Thackeray, City Clerk, presented the Administration annual report
to the Council. She indicated that the secretarial services provided
through Administration staff were accomplished by Alice Heinecke,
Brenda Ebner and the City Clerk. She reviewed with the Council some of
the major accomplishments which took place in 1989 and also discussed
projects which will be considered for 1990.
7.1. Discussion on Decision Resources, Inc. /Survey Results and Data
Pat Klaers, City Administrator, informed the Council that information
containing results and data of the Community Survey by Decision
Resources, Inc. is available at City Hall.
COUNCIL14EMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO ACCEPT THE SURVEY RESULTS OF THE

that both of these properties relate to possible development activities
in 1990. ' One of the properties being purchased is off of Auburn Place
and is one acre in size located in a congested neighborhood. He
indicated that the original purpose of pursuing the parcel was to
• provide open space and recreational opportunities in this
neighborhood. Mr. Klaers indicated that development is being proposed
for Barrington Place properties, which is adjacent to the lot the City
will be purchasing off of Auburn Place. Mr. Santwire is proposing a
possible reconfiguration of the lots once the City purchases the

property. He indicated that this is being pursued by Mr. Santwire in
order for him to put together a more attractive development proposal
adjacent to this parcel of property.
Mr. Klaers indicated that the other parcel that is subject to
development activity is the property off of 191 1/2 Avenue, west of
Jackson Avenue. He stated that the City is purchasing one lot east of
the site where Pete Rohlf developed a mini - storage building in 1989.
Mr. Klaers indicated that the original intent of this property purchase
by the City was to improve the drainage in the area. Mr. Klaers
indicated that Mr. Pete Rohlf had approached the City to determine
whether or not the City would be interested in trading lots with him,
as he owns the lot directly west of the mini - storage site and it was
his feeling that his lot would serve the City's needs much better than
the lot the City is currently attempting to purchase.
Mr. Klaers distributed a letter from the City Engineer regarding the
lot swap with Mr. Pete Rohlf. The City Administrator indicated that
according to the City Engineer's letter, both lots are the same size
and have the same dimensions. The City Administrator indicated that
Mr. Pete Rohlf has plans for a proposed mini - storage on the lot he
currently owns. He indicated that if the City is considering trading
lots with Mr. Rohlf; then when Mr. Rohlf makes application for his
• conditional use permit for a mini- storage, the City's name will also
have to be on the application as the City presently owns the lot.
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he did not feel it was appropriate
that the City sign the application for the mini storage. Mayor Tralle
indicated that the City should explore the two issues at the present
time and deal with mini storage at another date. It was the consensus
of the City Council to direct the City staff to take look at these two
situations and do what is appropriate for the City. Councilmember
Kropuenske indicated that it makes sense to get the best drainage
possible on the lot and indicated that by swapping lots with Mr. Rohlf
both parties benefit. The City Administrator indicated that if the
City trade lots with Mr. Rohlf, the City will not allow any intensity
of development to happen.
Pete Rohlf was present at this meeting. He indicated to the Council
that if the City decides to trade lots with him, he wants the Council
to be aware that he is considering mini storage for the lot.
COUNCILMEMBER KROPUENSKE MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY STAFF PURSUE
THE POTENTIAL PROCESS OF THE LOT SWAPS ON THE TWO PROPERTIES DESIGNATED
IN MEMO 7.2 AND THAT THEY MAY PROCEED IF ALL THINGS ARE APPLICABLE FOR
THE JOINT APPLICATION AND THAT STAFF INVESTIGATE PARK USAGE FOR THE
LOTS RECEIVED AND FURTHER THAT THE TRADE BE CONTINGENT UPON THE
AFFIRMATIVE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY. COUNCILMEMBER
HOLMGREN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 3 -1. Councilmember
• Schuldt opposed.

5.3. Tax Forfeited Property
The City Administrator indicated that six properties have been pulled
from the tax forfeiture roll and are being considered for purchase by
the City.
He
indicated that
staff is recommending the Council purchase
two of the
six parcels. Staff
is recommending that
the Council
purchase Lot
land is
1, Block 2, Ridgewood
East Second Addition.
The value of
this parcel
is
$10,375 and the
property would provide open
space in a
very dense
residential area.
The other parcel recommended
for purchase
is Outlot A
in
Belgium Acres.
The City Administrator indicated that
the purchase
for
price for this
parcel of property is $558.00
and is being
considered
for
an easement for
any future road extension
that would
connect to
new
developments
to
the
west.
The City Council discussed the necessity for the purchasing of the
Ridgewood East lot. Councilmember Dietz indicated he would not want to
buy a piece of property if the City has no particular plans for the
property. Councilmember Schuldt stated that there would be a good
chance that the parcel of property in Ridgewood East would be made into
some type of a play area or a small tot park in the future. The City
Administrator indicated that the Ridgewood area is a multifamily
neighborhood and it would be an appropriate area to have a park area
for children. Also, the Administrator noted that this type of purchase
for Park and Recreation reasons in dense residential areas has been
done at least twice by the City in the past five years.
COUNCILMEMBER SCHULDT MOVED TO PURCHASE LOT 1, BLOCK 2, RIDGEWOOD EAST
SECOND ADDITION. COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE
MOTION CARRIED 4 -1. Councilmember Dietz opposed.
COUNCILMEMBER
KROPUENSKE MOVED
TO PURCHASE
OUTLOT At BELGIAN ACRES.
COUNCILMEMBER
HOLMGREN SECONDED
THE MOTION. THE
MOTION CARRIED 5 -0.
Councilmember Kropuenske questioned the
possibility
of
the
City
purchasing Outlot A in Barrington Place.
He indicated
that
the
land is
used as a drainage pond for the
commercial development
and at
the
present time is an eyesore
and very
visible to
Highway
169.
Councilmember Kropuenske was concerned
that
the area would
continue
to
be an eyesore and that the
conditions
could worsen
if nobody
were
responsible for maintenance of
the area.
The City
Administrator
indicated that he would check
on whether
the State is responsible
for
maintaining the area.

Discussion on Tax Forfeited Property
The City Administrator explained that the City is attempted to purchase
two tax forfeited properties within the next two weeks. He indicated
that both of these properties relate to possible development activities
in 1990. One of the properties being purchased is off of Auburn Place
and is one acre in size located in a congested neighborhood. He
indicated that the original purpose of pursuing the parcel was to
provide open space and recreational opportunities in this
neighborhood. Mr. Klaers indicated that development is being proposed
for Barrington Place properties, which is adjacent to the lot the City
will be purchasing off of Auburn Place. Mr. Santwire is proposing a
possible reconfiguration of the lots once the City purchases the
0

property. He indicated that this is being pursued by Mr. Santwire in
order for him to put together a more attractive development proposal
adjacent to this parcel of property.
Mr. Klaers indicated that the other parcel that is subject to
development activity is the property off of 191 1/2 Avenue, west of
Jackson Avenue. He stated that the City is purchasing one lot east of
the site where Pete Rohlf developed a mini- storage building in 1989.
Mr. Klaers indicated that the original intent of this property purchase
by the City was to improve the drainage in the area. Mr. Klaers
indicated that Mr. Pete Rohlf had approached the City to determine
whether or not the City would be interested in trading lots with him,
as he owns the lot directly west of the mini - storage site and it was
his feeling that his lot would serve the City's needs much better than
the lot the City is currently attempting to purchase.
Mr. Klaers distributed a letter from the City Engineer regarding the
lot swap with Mr. Pete Rohlf, The City Administrator indicated that
according to the City Engineer's letter, both lots are the same size
and have the same dimensions. The City Administrator indicated that
Mr. Pete Rohlf has plans for a proposed mini - storage on the lot he
currently owns. He indicated that if the City is considering trading
lots with Mr. Roh1f; then when Mr. Rohlf makes application for his
• conditional use permit for a mini- storage, the City's name will also
have to be on the application as the City presently owns the lot.
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he did not feel it was appropriate
that the City sign the application for the mini storage. Mayor Tralle
indicated that the City should explore the two issues at the present
time and deal with mini storage at another date. It was the consensus
of the City Council to direct the City staff to take look at these two
situations and do what is appropriate for the City. Councilmember
Kropuenske indicated that it makes sense to get the beat drainage
possible on the lot and indicated that by swapping lots with Mr. Rohlf
both parties benefit. The City Administrator indicated that if the
City trade lots with Mr. Rohlf, the City will not allow any intensity
of development to happen.
Pete Rohlf was present at this meeting. He 'indicated to the Council
that if the City decides to trade lots with him, he wants the Council
to be aware that he is considering mini storage for the lot.
COUNCILNEMBER KROPUENSKE MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY STAFF PURSUE
THE POTENTIAL PROCESS OF THE LOT SWAPS ON THE TWO PROPERTIES DESIGNATED
IN MEMO 7.2 AND THAT THEY MAY PROCEED IF ALL THINGS ARE APPLICABLE FOR
THE JOINT APPLICATION AND THAT STAFF INVESTIGATE PARK USAGE FOR THE
LOTS RECEIVED AND FURTHER THAT THE TRADE BE CONTINGENT UPON THE
AFFIRMATIVE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY. COUNCILMEMBER

Dear Mr. Rohlf:
I'm writing this letter in regards to the two year review of
Your conditional use permits for the mini storages constructed
on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Ridgewood East 2nd Addition. The
conditional use permits were issued in 1990 and 1989
respectively. I am enclosing copies of the stipulations which
were part of the conditional use permit approval for each of
these facilities.
On Monday, June 29, 1992, I inspected the property located on
191 -1/2 Street and found that the following stipulations were
not yet met:
• 1. The 5 mph speed limits signs were not yet posted on either
lot.
2. Some of the disturbed areas on the east and west sides of
the property were not yet seeded with grass. 7n addition,
two more trees are needed on Lot 3 and five trees are
still needed on Lot 2 as per the landscaping requirements.
3. The "exit only" and "enter only" signs which were to
direct traffic were not yet installed.
4. A cross easement should be recorded between the two lots
for driveway purposes. A copy of this recorded easement
should be given to the City.
The aforementioned stipulations should be completed as soon as
possible. Please feel free to call me at 441 -7420 if you have
any questions regarding these stipulations. Your cooperation
is appreciated.
Sincerely,

Call Meeting To Order
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the meeting of the Board of Review
was called to order at 6:07 p.m. by Mayor Duitsman.
1. Pete Rohlf - PID# 75- 432 -0110 - Pete Rohlf indicated he owns a
mini - storage building. He stated that when he was building his
mini - storage unite he was told by the City that he must have 40 feet of
concrete between the buildings. Mr. Rohlf indicated that in the
• meantime, other buildings have been constructed and have been told that
they need 20 feet of concrete between the buildings. He stated that
the extra feet between buildings coat him money in concrete as he
needed 1482 square feet of extra concrete. He also stated he had to
reduce the number of buildings by one because of the 40 foot
requirement. He further stated that he was ordered by the Council to
finish his buildings with stucco and bricks in the corners and other
mini - storage buildings are being allowed to use metal akin siding. Due
to this, the assessed value of his building is higher than other
mini - storage sheds.
COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO REDUCE THE ASSESSED VALUATION OF MR.
ROHLF'S PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS PARCEL 75- 432 -0110 BY $1,500 TO
COMPENSATE FOR THE EXTRA CONCRETE WHICH WAS REQUIRED BY THE CITY.
COUNCILMEMBER FARBER SECONDED THE MOTION.
Pete Rohlf stated that he requested to buy the vacant lot, which the
City now owns, located adjacent to his buildings. He stated that the
City Administrator indicated that the City was not interested in
selling. The City Council suggested that he appear before the City
Council to request to purchase the property.
THE MOTION CARRIED 4 -0.
2. Daryl Bronniche, Representative of Donald Raske PIDB 75- 127 -3110 -

MEMORANDUM
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
KENDRA LINDAHL, ZONING ASSISTANT
OCTOBER 16, 1995
SUBJECT: LARRY ROHLF CUP CONDITIONS FOR
PETE'S MINI-STORAGE
• CUP non - compliance letter dated July 1, 1992
• Conditions for CU 90 -07 and CU 89 -10
• CUP non - compliance letter dated September 1, 1995
• • Approved Drainage/landscaping plans for CU 90 -07 and CU 89 -10
Background
Mr. Rohlf received two conditional use permits for his mini - storage located on
Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Ridgewood East 2nd Addition. The CUPs were issued in
1990 and 1989 respectively. The permits had a number of conditions attached to
them. In 1992, Janelle Szklarski inspected the site in accordance with the two
year review of conditional use permits and found four conditions that were not
met. I have attached a copy of her letter dated July 1, 1992.
In late August 1995, a complaint was received that the property had not yet met
its CUP conditions. Staff inspected the property and found that there were still
three conditions not met:
1. The 5 mph speed limit signs were not posted on either lot
2. The "exit only" and "enter only" signs were not installed on either lot
3. The planting of nine (9) trees on Lot 2 and ten (10) trees on Lot 3, according
to the drainage plans, was not yet completed
I sent Mr. Rohlf a letter asking him to comply with the remaining three
• conditions prior to October 1, 1995. I reinspected after that date and found that
13065 Orono Parkway a P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441 -7420 • Fax: (612) 441 -7425
the three conditions were still not met. I called Mr. Rohlf and agreed to meet
him at the site to look at the trees and discuss his CUP conditions.
Mr. Rohlf feels that the signage requirements are unfair and that, although the
trees are not planted according to the drainage plans, he has an adequate
number of trees.
Mr. Rohlf indicated that he believes that the conditions attached to his CUP
were too restrictive and that he would address the Council during the open mike
section of its October 16, 1995 meeting. He will request that Council amend his
CUP so that he will not be required to place the signs on his property or add any
more trees.
Analysis
Inspection of two other mini- storage facilities in Elk River and their CUPs
(issued in 1992 and 1993), shows that they were not required to place speed
limit and "exit only" and "enter only" signs on their property, but they were both
required to plant additional trees. Only one of the facilities appears to be in
compliance with their CUP. The other mini- storage, although well maintained,
has not planted the trees required by the CUP and will be sent a letter
requesting that the trees be planted as required.
• Staff feels that the signage requirements for Mr. Rohlf may not be necessary.
During the five inspections done in the last month and a half, I have only seen
one car at the facility, therefore, the signs are probably an unnecessary
requirement. However, the tree requirement should not be waived. During both
of Mr. Rohlfs CUP applications, the City felt that additional trees were needed
for screening. Mr. Rohlfs conditional use permits required that he plant
nineteen (19) new trees on the two properties. Trees were to be ash, maple,
locust, linden and pine or spruce species. The tree plantings were not completed.
Recommendation
If so requested by Mr. Rohlf, Staff recommends an amendment to CU 90 -07 and
CU 89 -10 which would eliminate the 5 mph speed limit signs and the "enter
only" and "exit only" signs. However, Mr. Rohlf should be required to plant the
additional trees on his properties, as per the drainage plans.
