City of St. Joseph met as a Board of Review on Wednesday, April 17,

REQUESTS FOR CONSIDERATION:
The following persons appeared before the Board of Review and made
the following requests.
JIM BRUEMMER (84.53779.000) felt his house is not worth the value
placed on it ($55,000 which includes an increase of $1,400).
Lesnick increased the prQperty value of all the properties in the
area to reflect market válue derived from sales. Mr. Bruemmer did
not have ëiny' documents to render an opinion of value on the
property.
Cory Ehlert arri~ed at 7:G5.p.m.
tIÞ KEVIN DETERMAN (84.86503.007) requested an increase in the value on
his mobile home. He stated he has made improvements worth about
$300. Bob Lindvall indicated mobile home valuations are County
responsibility and would would be comfortable with an increase of
$200 added to the listed value of $3,000.
JIM SCHWAGEL (84.53886.000 - former Creamery Apartments) questioned
the role rental income plays in the valuation. Lesnick stated
rental income is considered along with the market value of the
property. Schwagel paid $145,000 for the property and has made
considerable improvements. Schwagel is requesting the value be
reduced from $176,700 to $155,700 because the appliances should be
deducted as personal property.
ALBERT & COLLEEN KUEBELBECK questioned the status of designating
their property homestead and notification to the escrow agent for
their mortgage company. (It is designated homestead, and Lindvall
will assist them in getting the notifications processed.
Letters requesting consideration were received from the following
persons.

tIÞ Page 1
i
,
stated Orcutt had contacted him and stated the appraised value on
the property is $158,500. Lesnick indicated a reduction could be .
allowed because the property is over 100% of the market value and
over built for the area. He would ask consideration for the value
of $152,000 on the property.
MICHAEL J. DEUTZ (84.53854.000) asked to have the classification
changed from commercial to non-homestead residential. The property
use changed on December 1, 1995.

resolution is patterned after the City of Becker's resolution. The Council
may change the resolution at any time by holding a public hearing.
tIÞ Loso questioned the powers of an EDA. John Scherer stated the Council may
reserve as much authority as it desires. The powers are, as a political
body, to acquire property, lease property, accept gifts, and issue bonds
except G.O. bonds in their own right. The Council may reserve these powers.
The EDA may do TIF and Industrial Revenue Bonds and may ask the Council to
levy. A certain number of Council members must sit on the EDA board.
Board members would be selected from persons expressing interest.
Recommendations from the Star City Commission would also be accepted. Mayor
Reber would like to give an opportunity for as many people as possible to be
on the Board, although it should not be too large to function well.
Hiemenz stated an advisory board may be set up that may have a greater mix of
individuals.
Rieke recommended reviewing the size of the Board after a test period of
time. It could be increased at the review time after holding a public
hearing.
Loso stated the Council may act as the EDA board with a subsidiary advisory
committee. Establishing an EDA is creating another body, which in turn could
cause a problem between the Council and the EDA.
Hiemenz stated the Star City Commission felt strongly that the EDA Board
should not be the Council. Also the terms of the EDA Board members are six
years. Be aware this is a long commitment for board members.

community events sign for six months and then to the alternate side of the second
community events sign for six months. This rotation policy would continue to the end of
the advertisers sign lease.If a business elects to advertise on both sides of the original

on which the community events sign will be placed for the purpose of making measurements,
surveys, and such other similar investigations, including the showing of the potential sign area to .
possible advertisers, as Feneis may reasonably desire to inform itself concerning the size and
suitability of the property for the construction of the sign, provided that such activity is done
following notification of City and not done at a time or in a manner which will interfere materially
with City's use of property. In addition, City authorizes Feneis and its agents to enter upon the
property and any adjoining property as is necessary to construct the sign in the event the option is
exercised.

makes application to Feneis Enterprises, Inc., 4067 Pine Point Road, St. Cloud, MN 56303 (the
"Lessor") to lease rrom Lessor space on the Lessor's Tri- Vision Graphic Displays located on City

St. Joseph, Minnesota., upon the terms, provisions, conditions, and limitations as hereinafter set

By signing this Agreement, the State is offering "contribution protection" against

JOHN H. SCHERER The Agreement requires you to cooperate with the State's efforts to collect from

KEVIN F. GRAY not sign the Agreement. By signing this Agreement, the State will only proceed
WIlliAM J. CASHMAN after any applicable insurance proceeds. Again, the law already allows the State to

RE: Nuisance Ordinance
MINNEAPOLIS Our File No. 17,693
2904 Plaza VII Dear Rachel:
45 South Seventh Street
Minneapolis, MN 55402-1620 I have had an opportunity to review the Model Nuisance
612·339·9206 Ordinance which you had sent me. I have a few general
800·445·9617 comments and some specific comments which I will share
. FAX 612.251.5896 in this letter.
Overall, I believe-that the ordinance is good. It
INTERNET ADDRESS adopts much of the language used in state law. It also
rajhan@cloudnet.com contains language typically found in most nuisance
ordinances.
FRANK J. RA/KOWSKI . t I should point out that ordinances of this nature,
including the proposed ordinance before us, are often
GORDON H. HANSMEIER hard to enforce because of the difficulty in
FREDERICK L. GRUNKE specifically defining terms and prohibited conduct.
THOMAS G. JOVANOVICH Let me give you an example. section 2(3) declares
JOHN H. SCHERER ponds or pools of stagnant water to be a public
PAUL A. RA/KOWSKI t nuisance. Many people are now installing small plastic
KEVIN F. GRAY ponds in backyard flower gardens as part of their
landscaping. Is this be a prohibited act? Is a low
WILLlAM J. CASHMAN spot on property which holds water for several days
RICHARD W. SOBAL V ARRO after a heavy rain a nuisance for purposes of this
BRIAN L. WILUAMS ordinance? I believe that most people would agree that
BRIDGET M. LINDQUIST these examples should not constitute violations of the
ordinance. But a literal interpretation would suggest
otherwise. Therefore, I would generally recommend that
an ordinance of this nature should not and cannot be
JAMES H. KELLY. M.D., F.A.C.P. strictly enforced. Language has to be interpreted in
MEDICAL CONSUlTANT light of the intent of the ordinance. The ordinance
FRA.NK J. RAKOW5KI 1$ ADMITfED TO PRACTICE should only be enforced against acts that are clearly
. IN NORm DAKOTA, defined and prohibited by the ordinance, or are so
GORDON H. HANSMEIER extreme that they clearly would fall within the
L"J NORTH DAKOTA AND WISCONSIN, perimeters of the proposed prohibited activity.

I make this point only because it may become an issue with
respect to future enforcement. I think that the Council should
be aware that there may be times, after enactment of an ordinance
of this nature, that our office will advise against prosection of
an activity which may appear to be in violation of the ordinance.
In areas where prohibited conduct is not clearly defined{ you
will find that we will advise the City to proceed with caution
when considering an action under the ordinance.
In Section 2 of the Ordinance{ there are three areas declared to
be nuisances which cause me some concern. I already addressed my
concern regarding paragraph 3{ which identifies ponds or pools of
stagnant water as a nuisance. I would also call your attention
to paragraph 10 (public exposure of people having a contagious
disease) and paragraph 11 (identifying offensive trades or
businesses as nuisances). I believe that paragraph 10 would be
difficult and unrealistic to try to enforce. Theoretically, a
common cold is a contagious disease. Do we intend on prohibiting
people having a cold or flu from going out in public? Obviously,
no. HIV is a contagious disease{ but only contagious where there
is exposure to blood or sexual contact. Routine exposure to a
person with HIV creates no risk or danger. Therefore, I would ·
recommend that paragraph 10 be removed totally.
with regard to paragraph 11, how do you define "offensive trade
or business"? Some feel that the profession of attorney is
offensive. I believe that paragraph 11 would be virtually
unenforceable{ and I would recommend its removal as well.
I would also call your attention to paragraph 8 under section 2
dealing with noxious weeds. This subject is addressed by another
ordinance and it may be wise to simply remove it from this
ordinance so as not to create contradicting ordinance provisions.
with regard to the activities identified as public nuisances
under section 3, I would qualify paragraphs 1 and 2 by only
prohibiting unlawful gambling and betting. A licensed charitable
gambling operation would not be a public nuisance, but as the
ordinance is proposed{ it could be interpreted as a prohibition
against lawful charitable gambling.
with regard to section 3, I would remove the language dealing
with "promiscuous sexual intercourse". This is almost impossible
to define, identify and enforce. I see that provision as only
causing problems. Prostitution is specifically prohibited. I
believe that that would be sufficient.
Finally, under paragraph 5 of section 3, I would add the word ·
"illegal" when referencing the transportation of intoxicating
liquor and again remove the language regarding promiscuous sexual
T
-.

. Ms. Rachel Stapleton

intercourse. Transportation of intoxicating liquor is not
normally a nuisance. Only the illegal transportation of
intoxicating liquor may become a nuisance.
with respect to section 4, I call your attention to paragraph 4
dealing with "unnecessary noises" and annoying vibrations. I
would recommend further definition of an "unnecessary noise". We
may want to tie this provision with the Noise Ordinance and the
definition of prohibited noises contained therein. This would
ensure consistency and will provide definition.
with regard to section 5, I would appoint the Police Department
as the enforcement officer, but state that the Police Department
may request the assistance of the health officer, housing
inspector or building inspector when investigating potential
violations of the Ordinance.
section 6 sets forth an abatement procedure. We may want to
consider simplifying the procedure.
Finally, section 8 states the criminal penalty. It should be
. clear that whether or not the abatement procedure is pursued, the
City reserves the option of charging somebody criminally when the
ordinance is violated. As a standard procedure, the person
violating the ordinance may initially be asked to abate the
nuisance. If that is not done immediately, then the person would
be subject to criminal charges.
I would recommend that the first time violation of the Ordinance
be established as a petty misdemeanor. A second offense of the
same provision occurring within a year of the first offense
should be a misdemeanor. A petty misdemeanor is punishable by
fine of up to $200. A misdemeanor is punishable by fine of up to
$750 plus 90 days in jail. For the first offense, I believe that
a petty misdemeanor would probably be appropriate. If charged
with a petty misdemeanor, the defendant does not have the right
to a public defender nor may the violator request a jury trial.
These rights, which the defendant does have if charged with a
misdemeanor, simply cost the taxpayers money and make the case
more complicated to prosecute.
On the other hand, for the second offense within a year, a more
stringent penalty is appropriate, and therefore, a misdemeanor
charge would be recommended.
Finally, I would recommend that before adoption of the ordinance,
. we reformat it to follow the numbering procedure currently used
in our Code of Ordinances. We can have the ordinance retyped at
our office with any appropriate changes, and when doing so, have
it reformatted.

Rachel, please let me know if you or the Council have any other
questions regarding this model ordinance or if the Council would
like me to be present at an upcoming council meeting to address
any of these issues.

MINNEAPOLIS RE: Weed Ordinance Enforcement
2904 Plaza VII Our File No. 17,693
45 South Seventh Street Dear Rachel:
Minneapolis, MN 55402-1620
612'339'9206 It is my understanding that an East Minnesota resident
800'445'9617 wishes to allow weeds to grow on her property to
FAX 612'251'5896 provide habitat and feed for birds. The Council has a
. question as to whether or not this could be permitted
under the current or an amended Weed Ordinance.
INTERNET ADDRESS
rajhan@cloudnet.com First of all, I wish to point out that the pefinition
of the term "weed" is limited to noxious weeds as ",T" .
defined by Minnesota statute. On the other hand, the
FRANK J. RAjKOWSKI . t Ordinance does prohibit weeds and grasses greater than
ten inches in height.
GORDON H. HANSMEIER
FREDERICK L. GRUN/Å’ I believe that under the current Ordinance, the action
THOMAS G. JOVANOVICH proposed by the individual living on East Minnesota ~ ,
JOHN H. SCHERER would be prohibited. I believe that the Council has
PAUL A. RAjKOWSKI t several options with respect to an amendment of the
KEVIN F. GRAY Ordinance:
WILUAM J. CASHMAN 1. The Ordinance could be amended to exclude grasses
RICHARD W. SOBALVARRO and non-noxious weeds from its provisions on
BRIAN L. WILUAMS parcels of property in excess of a minimum size.
BRIDGET M. LINDQUIST The regulations as they currently stand would
still apply for the basic residential lot. For an
oversized residential parcel, an exception would
be made for grasses and non-noxious weeds, at
JAMES H. KELLY, MD., F.A.C.P. least on the portion of the property which is not
MEDICAL CONSULTANT
adjacent to a street or road.

2. The Ordinance could be amended to allow property owners to
apply for an exemption where the clear intent is to
establish an area for animal habitat. I believe that the
exemption would have to be approved by the city Council, and
certain standards or criteria would still have to be
considered, such as lot size, adjacent streets, residential
areas, inspection for elimination of certain noxious weeds,
etc. I would not want to see the exemption pursued by a
property owner simply to avoid the cost and bother of
maintaining his or her property.
If the city Council wants to explore either of these options
further, please let me know. Thank you.
Very truly yours,

RE: LEGISLATIVE REVIEW SESSIONS
The 1996 Legislative session is over. Although it was a "short" session, the legislature did enact

To assist city officials in understanding the new laws, the League Intergovernmental Relations

Center, Mankato, Alexandria, Grand Rapids and Brainerd. An additional review session will be
held as part of the League's annual conference program in Rochester. The review session
program will include a summary of new laws, old laws and ideas for laws that died. There will
also be a question-and-answer period. League staff will be available to answer questions before
and after the session.
The registration fee will be $10.00, collected at the door. Attendees will receive the 1996 session
summary and other materials that summarize the highlights of the 1996 session. Coffee will be
available.
Agenda for Brooklyn Center, Alexandria and Grand Rapids--(registration time for Mankato will
begin at 9:30 and the session will end at 12:30.)
8:30 a.m. Registration
9:00 Review sessions begin
12:00 Session end
