( #2) INTERVIEW PARK COMIVIISSION APPLICANTS The Council interviewed the following candidates for the one position open within the Park Commission. It was noted to all candidates that further interviewing will be conducted at the next Council meeting, and they will be notified of the filling of the • opening after the interviews have been completed. Gerhardson noted that an applicant who had applied to the Planning Commission had asked to change his request to the Park Commission. This applicant will be interviewed along with one other at the next Council meeting. • Each candidate was asked why they applied for the position, what contributions or changes they would bring to the commission, whether they were aware of the comprehensive management plan and the philosophy of the present commission, whether they had attended any Park Commission meetings, and whether they had the time to commit to such a position. The interviewees responses are as follows: ROBERT W. LANGGUTH Robert Langguth lives in the Chevy Chase area of Orono, has an engineering background, and has served on the Wayzata Police Reserves. Langguth said he has the time to get involved on the Park Commission as he is retired. In noting the urban expansion to the western suburbs, Langguth said it is important to obtain all land available now for future parks. He has not attended any park meetings. 1 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 t #2 - Park Commission 1nten6eNi,s - Robert Langguth - Continued; Kelley inquired if he was familiar with the philosophy of Orono and its parks and • maintenance. Langguth said he has spoken with Gerhardson about the parks. He said he was happy with the present park system but not familiar with the individual parks but saw the need to expand. Jabbour asked for his opinion on what the functions of parks should be, i.e., active, passive, wildlife preserves. Langguth voiced a need for active parks with festivities held at the parks. Jabbour suggested Langguth read the City's management plan for his information. ANDREW RONNINGEN Ronningen said he has lived in Orono for two years and plans on living here the rest of his life. He would like to make an investment into the City and saw the Park Commission as a good way to begin. His contributions have been a career, overseas job, raising a family. He has read the comprehensive plan and felt the current state of the City was good. Ronningen said he has lived in Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, and Alaska and has seen what works and does not work. He said the level of quantity and quality of Orono parks is good and would like to maintain that and add a tong term vision. His background at St. Thomas was noted. Callahan asked what prompted him to apply for the position and whether he had any specific ideas. Ronningen said a person accumulates wealth but needs to leave their children with a good environment and building a strong park system is one way to accomplish this. Kelley asked about the Casco Point area • where Ronningen lives and what his ideas would be for that area. Ronningen said the park on CoRd 15 serves alot of young kids and has a good ice rink. The park on the other end, consisting of 8 acres, was kept was natural. He said he is working to develop a Casco Point homeowners association. He thought a first event would be to hold a picnic at the park to make use of it with walking dogs and kids running and would not want it further developed. Jabbour asked Ronningen if he had enough time with his job responsibilities to fulfill the Park Commission obligations. Jabbour noted the many hours involved, and the meetings with other agencies beyond the one monthly meeting of the commission. Ronningen said he wants to do it wholeheartedly and was not involved in alot of extracurricular activities. MAMIE J 1N An said she has lived in Orono a couple of years and likes to participate in her community. Jin was on the park and recreation board for Maple Grove and familiar with parks though the two are structured differently. An said Maple Grove was in the process of updating their comprehensive plan and was not coming into this totally cold. Callahan asked if she has read the Orono comprehensive plan or sat in on any meetings. An had not. Kelley asked why she moved to Orono. Jin said that Maple Grove was expanding rapidly, and she preferred more green areas, liked the climate of the City, and noted she had grown up in the western suburbs. • 2 ` MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 ( #2 - Park Commission Interviews - Mamie Tin - Continued) • Kelley asked about the two cities' differences. An said Maple Grove's parks were geared to tiny tot lots with a lot of small parks nearby with more apparatus there. Jin said Orono's parks were more natural. She lives in the Casco Point area and is involved in starting the homeowners association. Goetten asked about any specific goals she might have. Jin said she liked a natural environment and liked what the Park Commission has done. She believed in checking plans and looking into the wants of the residents. She is open to new development but feels it is important to preserve land. Jin had not heard of the Saga Hill area She feels she has the time to commit, noting she is on another board that meets during the working day, and her evenings were open. Jin said her family was used to planning around commitments. Jabbour commented on the recent park tour, comprehensive plan, and the park survey. JANELLE PETERSON Peterson said she has lived in Orono for 11 years, 1/2 mile from Wolsfeld Woods, and has used the Luce Line and Bederwood Park. She would like to see land preserved for her children and those that follow. Callahan asked about her view with development noting her position with a builder. Peterson said her work with a developer has made her aware of the preciousness of parks. She said some cities have overbuilt and would like to see that parks and wetlands in Orono don't disappear. She did not have any specific plans for the position but would like to continue to maintain the parks and acquire new park • land. Peterson has not attended any meetings or seen the park survey. She has read the comprehensive plan. Jabbour asked what she felt was the function of the parks. Peterson said there needed to be a balance between recreational parks for the enjoyment of all and the provision of wetlands. She noted that tax dollars come into play and saw no problem with paying more to go towards future parks. RICHARD P. MEYERS Callahan asked Meyers why he had applied for the position and what goals he would have. Meyers said he has an urban planning degree and parks were his avocation. His job is in law enforcement. He noted his work with the Cedar Lake renewal project's bike trail and his service as chair of the citizens advisory committe for the Minnehaha State Park renovation, which was a 10 year, 10 million dollar plan. Meyers said he is intimately familiar with Orono through his work with the water patrol. He would like to see bike trails developed and sees this as a nice legacy to leave behind, noting this knows no politics, and balances his life. Meyers sees Orono as a place with an abundance of swamps, prairies, wetlands, gardens, and water. He would like to see more interpretations on natural areas. He noted while walking around French Creek that it was difficult to get all the way around and felt it should be more accessible to the handicapped, and cited this park as an example for interpretation for people to learn about nature. 3 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 ( #2 - Park Commission Interviews - Richard Meyers - Continued) s said that biking is the number one recreation sport and noted the lack of bike • Meyer g racks in the City. He would like to see the parks tie in with bike trails. He noted the lack of picnicking areas and trash receptacles along the shore on Lake Minnetonka. He noted the good job with the bathroom facilities and trash at Coffey Cove in Spring Park. Jabbour said this was done by the DNR. Meyers felt the lake was overused and thought areas should be closed off to allow vegetation to regrow. He felt fishing piers were good. He thought the City should locate spots and concentrate park efforts instead of spreading out. Meyers saw the need to contain garbage and lack of garbage cans, but noted the cost involved to pick up the garbage. He thought the adopt -a -park program was good and noted a Minneapolis plan called "people- for - parks ", which emphasized donations. Meyers thought this would be good for such things as fishing piers, a way to leave a remembrance, and a way to gain private funding. He said people are willing to give as they love their parks, and the City needs to tap into this. Meyers said he saw and reviewed the park survey. Jabbour said that ideas mentioned by Meyers were being done within the City now, noting Norenberg Park, and the bike path. Jabbour commented that 25% of the citizens responded to the park survey and 80 -90% felt open space was the number one priority. Jabbour said neighbors do take care of the bike trails but were not organized. Meyers said he thought it was good to have the bike trail. He noted a sign for a trail on CoRd 19 was too small. He thought it was good for the neighborhoods and people would use the trails. With the lack of parking space, Meyers reiterated the thought that bike racks would help. Callahan asked about his work with the water patrol. • Meyers said he has been on the water patrol for five years and was very aggressive with the boating - while- intoxicated law. APPROVAL OF MINUTES (* #3) REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 22,1995 Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to approve the Minutes of the Regular City Council Meeting of May 22, 1995. Ayes 4, Nays 0. PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS Park Commission Chair Richard Flint had no comments at this time. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS Planning Commission Chair Steve Peterson had no comments. Commissioners Dale Lindquist and Candace Rowlette were also present. is 4 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE I2, 1995 PUBLIC COMMENTS • Mimi Ryerse, who lives on Old Crystal Bay Road, asked the Council to consider revising the Noise Ordinance. Ryerse said that the noise from moto- crossing, with no mufflers being used, has affected her neighborhood. She has contacted the police department on several occasions and was told that they are unable to assist in alleviating this problem as the ordinance is vague. Kelley commented that he was aware of the problem, as he also lives in the same area, and suggested to Ryerse that she voice the noise complaint before the Council. The people who are moto - crossing are riding on their own property. Callahan asked Gerhardson to check into this problem as well as the ordinance itself and report back to Council. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (#4) ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - ADULT SHELTER Callahan said the issue at the meeting was to decide whether to amend the code and/or the zoning ordinance regarding the use of church property in Navarre. This matter is driven by the interest in the property by the Westonka Intervention Project but was not • specific to whether Westonka's application would be approved. Their application would need approval under specific conditions under either a zoning or code change. Callahan also said the financial stability of the organization is not germane to the discussion. The issue was brought before the Planning Commission and Council as a result of the application required to operate a shelter in October of 1994. The current codes do not permit a domestic shelter in Orono at this time in any zone. The question being is whether or not to make a change to the zoning code to allow this use. Callahan said the Council referrred the shelter issue to the Planning Commission, as it is a land planning matter. The Planning Commission held public hearings, work sessions, and public information meetings. Information was gathered and detailed from contact with police, professionals, and other shelter groups. As a result, two ordinances were drafted, one for a residential zone amendment, and for a commercial zone amendment. The Planning Commission recommended an ordinance amendment for the residential zone with a conditional use permit or a conditional use permit under the B-4 commercial zoning. This zone includes nursing homes, retirement homes with CUP, and professional office building use. At this time, a zoning change would be required. • MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 (#4 - Adult Shelter - Continued) the Planning Commission, explained the investigation and • Steve Peterson, Chair of g xP recommendations made as a result of many meetings. The skeptical beginning questioned the need for such a shelter. Information, positive and negative, was gathered from police departments, a Hennepin County judge, and other sources. The public was shown to be both for and against the shelter, for both residential and commercial zoning with a shelter, and for commercial zoning change only. Peterson reported the Planning Commission felt strongly that the zoning should remain residential with a conditional use permit used as the vehicle for shelter approval. The public did not seem concerned about the zoning issue itself. Peterson felt a need for such a shelter was established. Peterson, past -Chair Charles Schroeder, and other members of the Commission felt they went beyond the normal measures in scrutinizing the issues involved. The public was notified by newspaper and mail and were involved in the information gathered process. Callahan noted that all members of the Planning Commission gave the issue careful consideration. Callahan opened the meeting to public comment. Kent Carlson, 3498 North Shore Drive, asked about the need for a shelter as spoken by Peterson. Carlson said the word, need, is a powerful word and questioned how strong the need was in Orono. Callahan said it was difficult to answer this numerically. The question of whether a large number of women in Orono are trying to get into shelters does not exist, but there are women in Orono who are in need of a shelter. Callahan said • the shelter would be for those in the Lake Minnetonka area and to the west. Melody Versailles, 3472 Livingston, asked how children from St. Bonifacius would get to school if at the shelter for a long time. Versailles wondered if an abuser knows where the victim is, will they approach the shelter residents in front of the homes and businesses of Orono, and at the parks. She said we cannot afford for this to happen. Versailles did not want our chidlren exposed to such incidences. Versailles also wondered if a liason would be on the shelter board to work with if such incidents occurred. If the shelter was under Hennepin County contract, Versailles asked how often they would be reviewed, and questioned whether this would be good for the community. Val Hessburg said what would be done with the children was a choice of the mother. As far as the perpetrator was concerned, these incidents just do not occur. Research has shown that the shelter is not where the perpetrators go. The shelter is very secured and police would be called if an event of this sort would occur. Versailles said she was not concerned with the shelter itself but in areas like our parks. Hessburg reminded the public that the perpetrator was not angry at their children. Versailles responded that she did not warn children exposed to this situation. is 6 rvnNUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 • (#4 - Adult Shelter - Continued) Peterson said safety was a major issue addressed in the review process. Judge Davidson of Hennepin County informed the commission and statistics show that the shelter is the last place an abuser would go. Most abusers are under court orders and are restricted from going near the shelters. Peterson said what we would think would happen just does not occur. The abusers would more likely go to friends and relatives homes to approach the victim They would run into problems with the police at the shelters. Robert Albertson, 2100 Shadywood Road, said he is a 32 year resident of Orono. Albertson has a family member who is a psychiatrist and heads up a shelter. That particular shelter is well run with counselors and security but sees problems for this new shelter. Albertson questioned how this operation would be run. He felt the staff was not qualified and anyone needing a job could get one there. Albertson did not think the Westonka people knew how to work with these people. He fears this would be more of an open boarding house. John Anderson, 2195 Shadywood Road, said he is against the shelter and says there is no need for one in Orono. Anderson said this would only bring other people to Orono. He said he never got a letter from Orono or heard anything regarding the shelter. Anderson said there is a need for abuse shelters, citing the Simpson case, but questioned the need for this community. Callahan said that 300 households in a certain radius around the • proposed shelter site were notified by mail and would like to know if he had a problem with getting his mail. Anderson suggested contracting with individuals to temporarily help residents of Orono. Dr. Bryant Powers, 3701 Shoreline Drive, a psychiatrist in Navarre, said his last client of the day was an Orono resident. He is unable to disclose names but knows of the need for the shelter. He also works with offenders, supports the need for a shelter in this area. Powers said victims ask where a shelter is and find they need to go into Minneapolis. This is a major decision to break this cycle of violence, and then they are asked further to go outside of their city of residence as well as away from their support system. Powers said this causes them to feel like they are being punished. He felt more will use a shelter if one is located here than if they had to go into the city and make major changes. The issue of children in school is major. In Powers work with offenders, he says he has never had a case where a victim was stalked. The offenders are aware that the shelter is not where they can go. Callahan asked Powers about the issue of offenders approaching victims outside the shelter, for example, at a park. Powers said we need to know the dynamics of the problem. These are people who have problems of dependency and control. The people are frustrated but not crazy; they need help. The spouse being battered is in need of support. The issue of stalking is being well handled by the criminal justice system, and the offender knows this. It has never been Powers' experience of children being snatched. • This would occur more in a divorce situation. 7 - MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 (#4 - Adult Shelter - Continued) Clair Roo 2215 Kenwood Way, said the neighbors had a meeting with the Westonka • Rood, Y Intervention people the night before. He said they were good people who saw a need to help. Rood said he felt no animosity towards them. Rood said the neighborhood in question is full of children and elderly and is a vulnerable area. The streets are narrow and children are playing. The intersection is busy, especially with the closure of Old Beach Road. Rood reported that he did research on his own. He visited the Sojourner Shelter in Minnetonka, which is similar to the proposed shelter. The shelter houses 12 -16 and is located in a neighborhood close to businesses. He said the neighbors he spoke with had never talked to any member of either the Planning Commission or Council. Rood asked one couple, Mr. & Mrs. Harry Stifler for information on the shelter and whether they would recommend the shelter. Rood said the Stiflers responded that they would not recommend a shelter in a residential area. The problem as they saw it was that strange cars come and go. The Stifler's told Rood that a felon was arrested one block away and was from out of state. Rood asked them if there were many shelter residents from Minnetonka or the surrounding areas. The Stifler's said no adding that they felt 98% who used the shelter were black, as they had seen only two white residents in 10 years. Rood next visited Mr. & Mrs. Jim Rooney, 17010 Karen Way, who said their 10 year old daughter was beaten up on the bus two years ago by three blacks and needed medical • attention. They said it was not disclosed to them when they moved into the neighborhood that a shelter was near by. The Rooney's have three daughters, ages about 8 -16, who said they know children from the shelter who have riden the school bus. It was their opinion that the children were good and were at the shelter about a month at a time. The Rooney's said they have witnessed one occasion where the police were running through the neighborhood and have seen strange cars but no major problems. They did not know if the residents of the shelter were from Hopkins or Minnetonka area but said the shelter residents were about 90% black. • 8 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 (#4 - Adult Shelter - Continued) Rood spoke with an employee of the shelter, who he said was young and pregnant. Rood said he was invited in and saw residents cleaning up from dinner noting they were 100% black. The employee had Rood follow her to the office on the second floor. The employee told Rood that the residents did the cooking and light cleaning, with professional cleaners working twice monthly. Rood asked about the education requirements of the directors. The employee told Rood that only a philosophical educational was required. This meant in his opinion that they had previously been abused. Rood said he was told that the residents did not stay longer than a month and many were from out of state. Rood said the staff was not paid very much and that there was no neighborhood involvement whatsoever. Rood said the employee stated she would not recommend the Navarre location for a shelter. The employee had asked Rood how he had found the shelter. Rood said a neighbor had put a sign up in his yard showing the direction to the shelter as he had people knocking on his door asking where the shelter was located. Rood then visited with Mr. & Mrs. Carl Lynn, 11812 Karen Way, who had been a board member of the shelter for three years. She was no longer on the board as it was felt to be non- productive and time consuming. Rood asked the Lynn's if they had ever seen anyone who looked "beat up ". They replied, they had not. He asked the couple where the shelter residents were from. He was told that a friend of theirs, who works at Katherine • Curren School in Hopkins, said that half were from out of state, citing Indiana, Chicago, as well as North Minneapolis, and said 90 -100% were black in color. is Callahan asked Rood what he had gained in knowledge from the interviews. Rood said that the shelter was not used by residents of Minnetonka, but by people on welfare, and as a quicker step to getting on the welfare rolls. Rood said we have been misled if we think the shelter would be used by the Lake Minnetonka area residents. Lynn Rood added that the statistics of Sojourner Shelter show that the shelter was not used by people in the area. Shirley Brehm, 3908 Mapleton, Spring Park, said she was a victim of domestic abuse. Brehm was married for 30 years, 28 years of which were abusive. She has been divorced for 11 years and knows her ex- husband has not changed. Brehm said she took the effort to go into counseling and is a recovering alcoholic. She said she is a respected woman, and she knows alot of women who need a shelter here. She said it has been her desire to buy the church herself for this same use if she had the funds. Brehm is concerned for children who are trying to find their own identities. Brehm said an ordinance is needed for a shelter as there is no where to go for help. She said families members have problems to deal with too and unable to help the victim. Brehm strongly urged the Council to find a location in our area for a shelter. 9 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 (94 - Adult Shelter - Continued) Don Sherven, who lives o n Navarre Lane , said he has been a resident for 30 years, and his uncle built the Navarre area. Sherven questioned whether the business people of Navarre were notified or asked their opinion of the shelter. Peterson said the public was notified. Sherven said the people who live in the area have their lives on the line and is concerned with the environment if the shelter were to come to pass. Dan Hessburg responded to the visit to the Sojourner Shelter by Clair Rood. He read a letter from Sue Aumer, who is Executive Director of Sojourner, which Aumer says corrects misinformation received by Rood when he visited the shelter. The letter is part of this packet. Val Hessburg said the model chosen for Westonka was not Sojourner but Alexander Lewis House. Investigations were conducted of 20 shelters. Lewis House has two shelters, one in Eagan and one in Inver Grove Heights. One shelter is in a R -4 multi - housing zoning and the other in institutional zoning. They house 25 and 15. These shelters are in touch with their neighborhoods and have received no complaints. The management of Westonka would come from this area. The Department of Corrections set guidelines but policy would be set up by the board. Over 2200 victims were served and over 3000 children by the Lewis House Shelters. Hessburg responded to why safe houses would not be an appropriate alternative. The victims are in need of more support than can be had at a safe house. They are also in need of a longer stay than three days. There are programs within the shelter to assist people. Victims staying in safe houses feel they are imposing as the owner is not paid; whereas in the shelter, staff is paid. The shelter is expected to expand to the greater Lake Minnetonka area. Hessburg noted that areas further west, such as Carver County, have no shelters. Hessburg's opinion is that the beds will be filled. Sheri Block, 2305 Bayview Place, commented on the letter from Sojourner's Executive Director, Aumer. Block specifically referred to the first paragraph on the second page, which addresses the issue of racism as well as other forms of hatred/violence, which Aumer says are bound to arise as you shelter battered women and children. Block said she did not want racism, hatred, and violence to come to this area. She felt the victims should be placed out on farms and raise their own food if they didn't have the money, and then bused back to where they came from. She thought people should get the help they needed but not in Navarre. • to - MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON AJNE 12, 1995 (94 - Adult Shelter - Continued) • Tim Justice, 3114 Brooks Lane, Minnetonka Beach, said the neighborhood meeting on June 11 was spirited. He said the Westonka Intervention group were good but were not all knowing. He feels there will be an impact on the neighborhood. Justice referred to the Mound shelter application from 1994. From the Mound shelter application file, Justice said the need was not established. He contacted 10 police departments, which handle 25 cities and towns in the western suburban area. He was told there were 204 domestic abuse cases in the calendar year 1994. Justice then asked whomever he was speaking with whether shelter placements had taken place. One department had one referral, four departments had none, and 4 departments weren't aware of any but there could have been some placements. The 1993 Mound file showed one shelter referral. He did note that this was not the only avenue by which shelters were entered. Callahan said if a shelter was nearby, looking at statistics, the shelter would be used. Justice said an abuser goes to jail, and the victim is provided information by the officer or Westonka. Help is also sought from friends and family. He believes the need exists, but for this community, Justice said shelter assistance was not the first remedy. Peterson said the Planning Commission had looked over the police calls. The Orono Police Department was asked if a shelter was within the community, would the police department use it. The department replied that it would. At this time, referral cards are • given out. Police officers are undergoing sensitivity training to update themselves on this issue. Vouchers are also available and used to send victims to motels. • Callahan said we are trying to establish whether there is a need for the shelter; and if so, would it be used by west suburban people. Rick Haefner, 2324 Shadywood, says he lives next to the church and opposes the location for the shelter. He believes the victims should be housed out on a farm not in town. He said he takes care of a 16 year old, and if abuse occurs, it will affect lives and affect the community. Patti Herzog, 2883 Halstead Lane, said she had visited four shelters. She checked into the police records going back seven years for any problems and reviewed the city minutes regarding Sojourner. She found that some of the neighbors were interested in supporting the shelter, while others were antagonistic. The planning commission of Minnetonka had spoken with neighbors and found no filed complaints. In checking the police activity in the neighborhood of Sojourner between 1987 -1994, there was only one call of suspicious activity. Herzog spoke with Lisbeth Wolf of Womens Advocate Shelter in St. Paul, located in a busy neighborhood with alot of businesses, who said there had been no police calls as a result of any perpetrators on the shelter property. Home Free in Plymouth showed no calls in 1994, 1 call in 1993, where it was thought a perpetrator was coming but no one did, and 2 calls in 1992. 11 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 (#4 - Adult Shelter - Continued) • g P excerpt Herzog resented an t from the City of Minnetonka staff to the Planning rP Commission and Council of Minnetonka, dated 5/16/95, saying they had reviewed the proposal regarding welfare, health and safety considerations and for noise, access, police and fire protection, real estate value, compatibility to single family neighborhood, and found the shelter would not adversely affect the neighborhood or the community. It also went on to say that the Hopkins Project and Sojourner were compatible to their neighborhoods. Planning Commissioner Candace Rowlette said the commission was initially concerned and apprehensive about a shelter coming into Orono. A lot of time was spent investigating the possibility. The Planning Commission did not look for a shelter to fill the location. The applicants came to the commission, and the City is now reacting to that application. Rowlette noted that this is the first application she has seen in the six years she has been on the Planning Commission for this building. Rowlette cited the vandalism that has occurred to the building. Rowlette answered why this was a good location for a shelter. The women come to the shelter without transportation. They need to have access to grocery stores and other needs. There are three school district buses, Mound, Orono, and Minnetonka, who serve this area. This would allow the children to attend their own schools. In response to sending victims to a farm, Rowlette said this would be like sending an Orono resident to • downtown Minneapolis. They would lose their support, which they need. Richard Meyers, 2195 Bayview Place, said he was concerned with the raw numbers. He feels after looking at the service calls, there are not enough people from the Orono area to serve. With three references last year, Meyers does not see the need to fill these beds. If the beds are filled on a first come, first serve basis, the people served will come from other areas. If the beds are then filled with people from other areas, there will be no space available for Orono residents, and they will be sent to other areas. Meyers said the facts show the numbers are not there to support this shelter. Meyers said the shelter would have to adhere to state standards, and there would be no license. If a conditional use permit is given, he asked what the liability would be to the City. He also sees a problem with the management of Westonka, who he feels has no credentials. Meyers said he is concerned with violence. He noted that Judge Davidson is on the board of Westonka Intervention and also used Hennepin County stationery in writing about the shelter. He asked a legal question about whether this use would violate the comprehensive plan of the City regarding multi - dwellings and harming the characteristics of a neighborhood. C 12 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 (#4 - Adult Shelter - Continued) Meyers is worried about the people who would come to Orono as a result of the shelter. He did not believe they would interact well with the people living here. He foresaw problems with school children and cultural clashing. Meyers said he heard the Orono police officer say he did not see the need for the shelter. Meyers said he was offended by the way the Planning Commission dealt with the police officer. He felt women who are subjected to abuse should call the police often. The offenders should be jailed. Meyers said he did not wish to warehouse the victims. Meyers said he was also concerned with the safety of the people in the facility. James Jacobson, 2328 Olive, a 13 year resident, lives across the street from the church. Jacobson said the urban policies state that no new development is to conflict or adversely affect the neighborhood characteristics. He said he would not move into the area if the shelter had already been there. Lia Jakisiak, 2338 Olive, sees the church from her window. She is against the shelter. Jakisiak said she was a victim of abuse herself and has been stalked. Her offender tried to find her. She said these men are not smart, as they are not smart enough to know not to batter women. She noted a higher percentage of alcoholism related to abuse. With Timmy's Bar and the liquor store nearby, this location would not be good. She questioned whether the children and women can leave the shelter, and if they would • frequent the liquor establishments. Jakisiak said this shelter would have caused her to feel alienated and feel like people were pointing their finger at her. She did go to a safe house and did not feel put out. Jakisiak said her mother and mother -in -law's homes have been safe houses, but they have never been contacted out in this area. She said the community should be made aware of safe houses. She said she knows of many homes that would be available to help abuse victims. Jakisiak said this shelter is not the option for us. Albert Ginkel, 3210 Navarre Lane, is a licensed real estate agent. He said the real estate term of "location, location, location" should indicate that the shelter should not be located here. He said he has not met one person who is for the shelter and feels the majority of people living in the area are against it. Ginkel said the City should find another spot. Robin Anderson, 3324 Navarre Lane, said she interviewed Sjourner's Director, Aumer, this past Saturday. She chose this shelter as it resembles the geographic area of Navarre with the residential setting but near a business area. Aumer told Anderson that a residential area is fine but an institutional setting is better. Anderson said she was concerned with the visibility of the shelter in attracting abusers and becoming a neighborhood attraction. Aumer said, while it is nice to get away from the institutional feeling, it is quite public and requires more security. Anderson said we do not have this in Navarre. Anderson said she understood that there is only one police car available to . patrol Navarre. 13 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 (94 - Adult Shelter - Continued) Anderson said with five liquor establishments within walling distance, if the abusive • relationship involves alcohol, the victim may also have alcohol problems. The offender may come into the area with good intentions and begin drinking, lose their judgment, and cause problems. Anderson feels we may be comparing apples to oranges with other shelters being more institutional -like and with more police to patrol the areas. Anderson said this was not the location for a shelter. Callahan closed the public meeting and asked each Council Member for their feedback. Hun said participation in the Planning Commission meetings had revealed a need as well as a need in the greater Minneapolis area. Hurr would prefer the zoning remain residential with the use of a conditional use permit. Conditions could tie in closely the proximity to buslines and services. Hurr was concerned if the property was rezoned commercial, that some time in the future, the City could be looking at a 24 -hour Holiday Station or a Lord Fletcher's at that location. Hurr said a CUP in residential zoning would provide long term protection. Hun was not concerned with the neighborhood impact. The example of the DNR access on Maxwell Bay was cited as being chosen for its location near a bus line to provide accessibility to those coming needing to arrive by bus from other areas. Hurr said she lives four blocks from that location. Hurr felt there was a need for commitment to the greater metropolitan area on some issues. Kelley said he favored individual property rights. He noted when he moved to the area in • 1977, he looked at schools, churches, the comprehensive plan, and development stages of the City. Kelley said once a person has moved into an area, they have the right for stability. A shelter would change the neighborhood; although, he agreed the church itself would be a good building for the use. Kelley is opposed to the shelter. Goetten said alot of misinformation was shared with people during the meeting. In referring to Kelley's point of people moving into an area for certain ambiances, it doesn't happen according to Goetten. She has lived here for 20 years and changes do and will happen. Goetten feels a women's shelter is needed. Goetten is more flexible as to the mechanics. She originally felt the vehicle to use was residential zoning with a CUP, which is the most strict and controlling form. Goetten is supportive of the shelter. is 14 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 (94 - Adult Shelter - Continued) • Jabbour says he sees the issue two fold, land use and the shelter itself. Jabbour feels it would set a bad precedent to allow a shelter or multi - family dwelling in a residential zone. This opens the City up to future interpretations, i.e, Spring Hill Conference Center, bigger mansions, rehabilitation centers, treatment centers, etc. Jabbour does agree a need is there. The zoning that allows a similar use would be the B-4, where there is no major difference in land use or multi -use building. Jabbour said the zoning should be changed to the B-4 from residential. Then the issue was should we allow the shelter as a B-4 with a conditional use permit. This would define where the shelter would be located in Orono providing restricted areas which Jabbour said would match the application for this site. Jabbour questioned whether this would be done for Orono or the Lake Minnetonka residents. He asked what guarantee there was that the Orono facility would be used by Orono people. Could a certain number of beds be held for area residents only. Jabbour said we need to identify a formula under which our need is fulfilled. Jabbour indicated this use would have an impact on the neighborhood and would not be a good use in a residential area. Callahan asked how we would accomplish the fulfillment of that need. Jabbour said the applicant needs to tell the City that a certain number of beds can be reserved for Orono residents. Callahan said he was more in the middle of the issue. Making changes to an ordinance is • a serious matter and needs a serious purpose. If he thought there was an absolute need in Orono, this would be a compelling reason. In looking at the need in relation to civic responsibility to the greater Hennepin County area, Callahan said it was not so compelling. Callahan said the question of need has not been answered to his satisfaction. Statistics can be used to further the view on either side of the issue. Callahan said the people in the neighborhood should have the right to say what happens in their neighborhood. Callahan questioned what external issues would be affected, such as the parks, street traffic, etc. If the shelter was voted in and problems occurred, the proposal does not give the City any avenue by which to take remedial action. If he were to vote for the proposal, commercial would be the vehicle to use, rather than residential zoning. Although residential could be done for that particular site, Callahan does not feel a shelter belongs in a residential zone. • Hurr asked the applicant if they are able to set their own policy, and their mission is to serve their own community, are they able to reserve a certain amount of space to area residents. Margaret Weber, a consultant working with Westonka on their business plan, said the project is not constrained to the open policy as long as grant money does not come from the state. The project is able to reserve beds. Callahan asked if these beds are not filled, would it not affect the economics of the project. Weber said the business plan could be based on a lower occupancy rate. 15 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL, MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 (#4 - Adult Shelter - Continued) Callahan said if the CUP was changed to a license procedure, could the City exercise • more discretionary powers over the operation if problems occur. Barrett said the City has no familiarity with licensing with the exception of marinas, and no expertise on licensing or any budget for this possibility. From a practical standpoint, this would be difficult to accomplish. Kelley noted the need to preclude getting a grant from the state in order to reserve beds. Hurr said we would have to acknowledge the restriction. Callahan referred to Sojourner's open policy serving a larger geographical area, and said the shelter would not need to use this policy. Callahan said we are open to suggestions in obtaining more information. Jabbour said he was hoping the applicant could furnish additional assistance. The need has to be identified and a commitment received from the applicant that Orono's needs would be met. Hurr asked if other B-4 zoning had CUP's and if the site plan required a CUP. Mabusth said this was true. Hurr then said if the applicant is able to meet the conditions to reserve bids for the service area, the CUP can protect the need to fulfill this obligation. Callahan said this pertained to an ordinance and does not relate to people problems but land use. Jabbour felt it was difficult for a City to pull a CUP as there are too many court • decisions. Jabbour said he was not in favor of having to enforce a CUP. Hurr said the site review has not been done yet. Mabusth said this would occur after this matter of zoning is settled. The Council is trying to determine if there is a process by which the applicant can apply. Kelley said if the shelter were to move at some point, there is a possibility that the next occupant would be a use the City would not recommend. The B -4 provides limited uses and is restricted to municipal, office building, clinics, banks, and insurance offices. Examples of use for B4 with a CUP are nursing homes, hospitals, retirement homes, schools, research centers, veterinarian clinics, libraries, museums, galleries, class 1 restaurants (corporate cafeterias), and off - street parking. Hurr moved, Goetten seconded, to amend the zoning code to allow a domestic abuse shelter in B4 commercial with CUP as a requirement and Staff to look into licensing for the specific use and other needed conditions. Jabbour said he would ask that a vehicle be attached where 50% of the beds available were reserved for the service area presently being serviced.

( #10) #2022 ROBERT MELAMED, 920 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - RESOLUTION #3570 Mabusth reported that conceptual plans were reviewed in April on the use of the City driveway. The Planning Commissioners were concerned that a private road with a cul- de -sac would cause a major impact on the wetlands. The Planning Commission recommended an access drive with a shared access for lots 1 and 2, and a shared drive off the City driveway for lots 3 and 4. The plans for the septic were acceptable for the site. Mabusth said that in lieu of granting a variance to the code that would have required an internal road for four -lot plat, buffer zones were created with 50' around the perimeter of the subdivision and 30' buffers at shared lot lines and adjacent to expanded driveway easement. There will be no tree removal within these areas. Covenants specifying under what conditions trees may be removed were drafted. The City will not participate in the covenants. is 17 NUNUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 ( #10 - #2022 Robert Melamed - Continued) Mabusth said the APP licant followed the Park and Council recommendations for a 15' • outlot for a future bike trail. Applicant has also dedicated remainder of required park land area as an outlot at the east side of property. Land taken will be dry buildable area at 62' width, for a total of .84 acres. Council must decide whether the .84 acres of land or cash payment will be accepted by the City for Park Dedication. The Applicant would prefer the option of dedicating park land with the 3.2 acres as a road outlot. The Engineer has requested the bike path be graded to a 10' width for mitigation. Cook said it was difficult to make this request after the development is completed. Mabusth said both the County and City Engineer have approved the access, but asked that the large, old, oak tree be removed for safety reasons. The Planning Commission recommended the use of the City driveway for access to lots 3 and 4 but did not discuss the issue of required upgrades of the drive. Mabusth said the City Attorney submitted a memo, Exhibit R, stating that the City does have the right to grant itself a variance. Four alternatives have been given from a range of a 24' wide road with a cul -de -sac to no major changes. If no additional curb cut is allowed from the City driveway, then the lot lines would have to be redrawn. Mabusth said the County is encouraging the City to allow the access from the City driveway as a safer option. • Applicant Melamed reported on his concerns. Melamed prefers an access off of the City driveway instead of CoRd 84. A CoRd 84 access would cause the removal of more trees with a cut made through the trees. It was also considered less safe with the need for 2 cuts on County road. Melamed asked the City to grant itself a variance in keeping with the Park and Planning Commission recommendation not to upgrade the drive to maintain the nature of the present use to the park and the residences served. Melamed also did not understand the need to grade the bike trail at this time. He did not feel the neighbors would want this done and questioned whether acquisition of property would ever occur to complete the trail. Melamed also voiced his concern with the land dedication versus a buffer zone for outlot B, noting comments from the Park Commission on the difficulty in enforcing buffer zones on lot owners, when the City is able to enforce such zones as the owner. • 18 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL. MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 ( #10 - 92022 Robert Melamed - Continued) • Mabusth said the developer is responsible for developing a retention pond, which has not been previously reviewed. The option presented by applicant is for a retention pond at 9000 s.f. in area to be located within the designated wetland area. Other options include an area to the east on lot 4, filling the southeast corner on the City wetlands and reclaiming the area. It was noted that it may not be a good idea to have a developer reclaim an area outside of the deveopment. The Watershed District did not realize that the proposed alteration involved a City designated wetland. The wetland is a type 2, and will be upgraded to a type 3 wetland. Melamed said it has been necessary to redig out land on the east side, which is City owned land. It is probable that Melamed will ask the Council to use the City -owned land as he has not been able to initiate any growth after seeding on the filled area. Cook said the City might wish to preserve this land to use for mitigation on City's behalf at some point. Callahan asked if the concern was with storing rain water. Mabusth said that was a concern for property when developed and that run off drains on to the City property. Jabbour asked if the land was presently used as a wetland, how can this land be used for a retention pond. The wetland would be expanded in size to accomodate the need. It was noted that it is possible to mitigate in advance and bank for future use. Kelley commented that he would prefer access to come off the City driveway but upgraded to a paved road with a cul -de -sac. He suggested if mitigation was needed for • the outlot A (the bike trail) to use the City property, to determine what is needed for bike trail mitigation and subtract this portion off and bank it for future use. Cook replied that this was a very difficult segment of land. if the grading was not done at this time, it would probably never be accomplished. While commenting that the bike trail must cross Old Crystal Bay Road at some point, Kelley noted that the Carpenter property was on the other side of the road and abuts Norenberg Park. Hun said that Norenberg was a restricted area, and it would be better to build the trail on the east side of Old Crystal Bay Road and then cross over. In reaction to a previous comment from Melamed questioning the need to grade a bike trail that doesn't go anywhere, Hun noted that the Dickey property trail is only a short segment at this time but is already being used by the public. Hun is in favor of cutting in the trail at this time. 19 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL ' MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 ( 910 - #2022 Robert Melamed - Continued) • Callahan asked for a recommendation for outlot B to be dedicated to the City. It was noted that the right -of -way off of Old Crystal Bay Road was probably not a good place for a trail but needed to be located further in on the property. Melamed said this would involve the filling ofwetlands and cutting into a treed area.. Melamed noted it was not clear as to the location of the bike outlot on the property. Hurr said she was not convinced that the .84 acre land was needed for Park Dedication noting a lot owner would more than likely want to buffer their property from the waste control area noise and would maintain the buffering themselves. Melamed said the outlot follows along the park land. Jabbour commented that he agreed with Kelley that no variance should be granted to the City for its own convenience. Barrett said the City has traditionally treated itself as it would the general public. Callahan moved to claim the property known as outlot B instead of receiving funds for Park Dedication with the property deeded to the City. Jabbour seconded the motion after determining from Chair Flint that this was the recommendation of the Park Commission. Ayes 4, Nays 1, Hurr. Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, for the City Engineer, Park Commission Chair, and developer to select the land most suitable for the bike trail; and when the land is agreed • upon, the trail will be graded and seeded, but not paved. Kelley asked for the definition of grading. Cook said this is land that is "opened up" to be seeded but no gravel laid; no base is being asked for. When the trail is to be completed, the top soil would be removed and the area paved. Hurr asked how this compared to the Dickey developer, who built the trail section. The Dickey developer was paid for the trail construction. Park Dedication fee was credited. These properties are being treated equally. Melamed will receive credit for outlot A and not for grading. Melamed asked if the trail would need to be contained all within the outlot. Cook replied to the negative, noting easements would be needed for some areas and that filling of path would require mitigation. When asked by Kelley, it was found that the bike path would be mitigated. Ayes 5, Nays 0. Callahan asked Council members if the driveway should be accessed off of the City drive or Old Crystal Bay Road. Kelley noted his support to the City drive citing a safety hardship. Jabbour commented that a hardship is not required if an upgrade is required. Mabusth noted four options for upgrade of the driveway. Hurr responded that a major expansion was not required of the Cygnet upgrade. Jabbour said there was no demonstratable hardship and economics was the reason for the number of driveways. Callahan said the reason for the driveway was to maintain access the park, and that an upgraded turnaround would take away from the park atmosphere. Jabbour said he was against the drive off of the City driveway, and the City should adhere to higher standards than the public. • 20 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 ( #10 - #2022 Robert Melamed - Continued) • Kelley asked for the pros and cons on leaving the road unpaved. Flint said the issue wasn't discussed by the Park Commission but by the Planning Commission. Flint did say that he recommended no paving as this would change the park environment. Kelley commented that cars would park on the grass at Norenberg Park, and this did not change that park's characteristics. Jabbour asked Peterson why the Planning Commission recommended a variance. Peterson said it was a common sense issue that prevailed. He cited the example of the City granting itself a variance in the past with regards to the Crystal Bay post office parking lot. A setback variance was required in order to preserve the park area but no hardship was defined. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to allow access offthe City road with no upgrade or cul -de -sac, noting the hardship to preserve the park area. Kelley asked that the condition be stipulated that the first few feet into each driveway be paved. The motion was amended that the blacktop be installed to City Engineer's standards past the entrance of the shared drive to the discretion of the City Engineer and Staff. Ayes 4, Nays 1, Jabbour. Jabbour moved, Hurr seconded, to allow the applicant to dredge and expand a retention area within City property to southeast to be used to mitigation area for bike trail and • remainder to be banked by City for the future outlot B. The alteration of the designated wetland within the plat will offset mitigation needs of the internal development. Ayes 5, Nays 0. Melamed was informed that he is able to file for final plat approval at this time. • The Council adopted Resolution #3570 as amended above. See vote under each item. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Hurr reported her absence at the next meeting of the Council. Hurr inquired if a public information meeting will be held for the persons living in the Bracketts Point area regarding road improvements to CoRd 15. No date was set. Jabbour reported that he was informed by Tom VanDunn that the state legislature passed the bill regarding the sale of a piece of land on Maxwell Bay back to the public by the DNR. The governor has signed the bill. An appraisal of the property will be conducted, and the land will then be offered for sale to all government agencies. The land would then go to public auction, if necessary. 21 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL ' MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12, 1995 (Mayor /Council Report - Continued) Jabbour also reported that the DNR has obtained land from Jim Dunn on Maxwell Bay, • and needs to obtain one more property to move forward on the Maxwell Bay access project. The historical society has given their approval to tear down the gas station on the proposed access site, which will be done prior to July 14. Jabbour asked the City to express their appreciation to Gen Olson and other state legislators, who sponsored the bill. Planning Commission Chair Steve Peterson asked the Council for direction with regards to the review of the private driveway ordinance. It was said the fire and police departments would like 24' roads with a 90' turnaround for emergency equipment. Jabbour said the problem seems to be whether there is a need for the cul -de -sac at the end of the drive. Peterson commented that the fire department would like to see a loop - type drive. The Council will report to the Planning Commission on this matter at a later date. ENGINEER REPORT ( #11) WILLOW DRIVE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT COSTS - INFORMATION ONLY Cook verified that the costs for the Willow Drive intersection improvements were • increased by 15 %.
