MINOT CITY COUNCIL –

SCHEDULED MEETING –

SEPTEMBER 3, 2019 AT 5:30 P.M.

Members Present: Jantzer, Olson,

Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight,

Wolsky

Members Absent: None

Mayor Sipma presiding and led the

City Council in the Pledge of Allegi-

ance. Mayor Sipma described some

of his meetings and activities over

the past month. He also said, there

were numerous meetings, phone

calls, e-mails, and individual contact

concerning City business. The City

Manager began by listing the dates

of upcoming meetings. September

16th will be the public hearing for the

2020 budget during the regular City

Council meeting at 5:30. The NDLC

Annual Conference is in Bismarck,

September 19-21. A special Council

meeting is scheduled for the final

adoption of the budget September

23rd . Norsk Hostfest is taking place

September 25-28. Planning Com-

mission meets September 30th. He

described construction updates

around the city. Flood Control Phase

1 is due to be finished this month.

The contractor is moving on to un-

derground work and half of the flood

walls have been poured moving

east. There will be a new traffic im-

pact as 3rd Street and 5th Avenue

will be shut down for underground

work near the end of the week or

early next week. MI 2/3 has done

the first test of the Perkett Pump

Station and all pumps were success-

ful. The contractor will open 16th

Street for head-to-head traffic later

this week. Street maintenance is

taking place throughout the city in-

cluding Broadway where concrete

panels, curb and gutter are being re-

placed between Central and 20th

Avenue SW. Work will continue

through the construction season,

weather permitting, with periodic sin-

gle lane closures. The Safe Routes

to School project has concrete work

completed and sidewalks are ready

for use. There are a few small items

left, such as tree planting and

landscaping. The program is part of

the NDDOT’s Transportation Alter-

natives Program and is 80% federal

funded and 20% City funding. The

Carnegie Building is nearly done

with reconstruction. Mr. Barry

showed photos of the building be-

fore and after reconstruction where

the foundation was repaired, weak

masonry was replaced on the exteri-

or, and windows and floor joists

were replaced. He gave an update

on the Parking Ramps by saying,

City staff has taken control of

maintenance activities and there

have been noticeable improve-

ments. The roof is going to be in-

stalled on both structures in the next

couple months to protect from

weather damage. Cameras are be-

ing installed and staff is looking into

quotes for exterior signage. He con-

tinued by saying, the legal activities

are in the discovery process with

Cypress and there are approxi-

mately 10,000 documents included.

The trial was pushed to next July but

it is still subject to change. The City

Manager then mentioned the City

Hall relocation. He addressed

suggestions that have been shared

in the public about various locations

and he said, all options are being

evaluated. A committee is reviewing

a space analysis and identifying po-

tential sites to renovate. They are

looking into the “Big M” building and

Wells Fargo building downtown. The

NDR grant funds identified for the

project include restrictions stating

they cannot be used to construct a

new building and they require the

City Hall be located downtown. Mr.

Barry then provided NDR updates.

He said, there was a Town Hall

meeting recently where the NDR

projects were discussed. The Gath-

ering Space property negotiations

are continuing and the deadline for

negotiations on site 2 is set for Sep-

tember 30th. The Family Homeless

Shelter project is on track with Luth-

eran Social Services and the en-

vironmental assessment is expected

this week. The Resilient Homebuyer

Program is picking up steam. They

have been marketing to young indi-

viduals who may have been in

school during the flood. He said,

Minot is ranked third in current pro-

gress among NDR recipients. Minot

has also been named a Model Gran-

tee and officials commonly refer oth-

er grant recipients to Minot for ad-

vice. He described some of the re-

cent task force teams that have

been assembled to handle different

issues such as recruitment, com-

munity engagement, and develop-

ment of a buy local preference. The

City Manager mentioned the new

Ward County Emergency Manager,

Jennifer Weichmann. He said, there

will be meetings with opportunities to

improve the relationship with the

City and share information. He then

recognized Margie Zietz, Code En-

forcement Officer, for receiving a

Chamber Eagle Award and Kevin

Ternes, City Assessor, for his nomi-

nation for Realtor Affiliate of the

Year. After concluding his presenta-

tion, Straight asked the City

Manager about the lease for the

Carnegie Building. He suggested

looking at the rate being charged

and said, if we are putting money

into renovating the building, the City

should get a better return on its in-

vestment. Mr. Barry said, the current

lease expires in 2021 but the rate

can be discussed upon renewal. He

added, since the City owns the

building it was a sound investment

to make the necessary repairs. The

City Attorney provided a written re-

port. Jantzer moved Pitner second-

ed and was carried to adopt resolu-

tion 3631 approving a request by

Ferrellgas, L.P. for a CUP to con-

struct a propane storage and distri-

bution facility on undeveloped pro-

perty at 1011 46th Avenue NE;

place and pass ordinance no. 5416

on first reading amending Chapter 2,

Definitions and section 11-3(q) of

Chapter 11 of the Zoning Supple-

ment to the CMCO to regulate com-

mercial and residential mixed use in

hotels and motels in the C2, General

Commercial Zoning District. Olson

moved Straight seconded and was

carried to adopt resolution 3632 ap-

proving a request by Ferrellgas, L.P.

for a CUP to construct a propane

storage and distribution facility on a

site replacing an existing industrial

use at 1001 46th Avenue NE. Olson

moved Straight seconded to adopt

resolution 3633 to approve a request

by Blu on Broadway, LLC for con-

sideration of a PUD submittal for a

mixed-use project containing com-

mercial uses on the ground floor and

affordable housing on upper floors,

to consider an increase in proposed

density and also deviations to

landscaping and parking require-

ments at 1629 S. Broadway. Wolsky

moved Straight seconded to amend

the resolution, Part 3 (b) to read

“Reconstruct 1st Street SW – in-

cluding sidewalks on east and west

sides and lighting.” Mayor Sipma in-

vited the applicant to come forward

to further explain the project. Todd

Berning, representing the applicant,

EPIC Companies, gave consider-

able detail about the project. Upon

questioning by the City Council, Mr.

Berning said the apartment rates will

be guaranteed for 20 years and he

would not be constructing the project

if not for NDR funds. Doug Pfau,

Matt Watne, Amanda Fulton, and

Darwin Langseth, each came for-

ward in opposition to the project.

They spoke about Minot’s housing

being overbuilt and raised concerns

about the requested variances to

density and parking requirements.

Straight asked Mr. Pfau for his opin-

ion on why other property owners

didn’t apply for NDR funds to reno-

vate existing complexes. Mr. Pfau

gave one example where an owner

said the NDR process was too com-

plicated and had too many restric-

tions tied to it. The NDR Program

Manager, John Zakian came forward

and clarified details on the housing

choice voucher program. He also

said, the waiting list for the voucher

program currently has 260 residents

listed. The NDR projects including

Park South Phase 1, Park South

Phase 2, and the proposed Blu on

Broadway are meeting a critical

need. If rent was currently afford-

able, the families on the waiting list

would be taking advantage of it.

Wolsky asked if an NDR approval

would come back to the City Council

since this request relates to planning

and zoning issues. Mr. Zakian said,

yes, the developer must adhere to

City rules prior to NDR approval so

they are following the subscribed

process. A developer’s agreement

will be brought back for City Council

approval. A vote was taken on the

amendment by Wolsky, seconded

by Straight and carried unanimously.

Wolsky pointed out that the appli-

cant is not requesting variances.

They are discussing approval of a

PUD which provides flexibility in the

code. He said, he believes this is a

great project and he sees the densi-

ty and parking requirements as bar-

riers in the code. He supports

changing the laws to reduce these

requirements which is an example of

what the Planning and Zoning Ordi-

nance Committee is reviewing.

Jantzer asked Principal Planner,

Lance Lang to describe the project

from a Planning perspective. Mr.

Lang said, a PUD is designed to al-

low flexibility in how the codes are

applied. In this case, to encourage

100% LMI housing along with mixed

use commercial and mixed-use turn-

over in parking, the PUD makes it

possible. A variance is used to

recognize a hardship which is not

the case here. This is an opportunity

to provide 42 units of housing when

we know there is a demand based

on the waiting list for vouchers. Po-

drygula asked how much leeway is

being given as far as density and

parking requirements. Mr. Lang said,

figures are based on the occupancy

per unit. Of the 42 housing units, 32

are studio or one-bedroom. Staff has

worked with the applicant through

the DRT process to maximize effi-

ciency in order to make the project

work. The applicant is providing 80

spaces which is probably about 15

spaces short of what is required.

Mayor Sipma emphasized that the

Main Street Initiative encourages

walkability, mixed-use properties,

and backfill. Additionally, there is a

workforce shortage and properties

like this project attract workers. He

said, this is the right direction for the

future and a substantial investment

in our community. Avote was taken

on the motion by Olson, seconded

by Straight, as amended, and car-

ried by the following roll call vote:

ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula,

Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays:

seconded and was carried to ap-

prove the minutes of the July 31st &

treat, the August 5th regular City

Council meeting, the August 12th

Special City Council meeting, and

Pitner moved Olson seconded and

was carried to the assessment roll

for sidewalk repair project 4311.

Pitner moved Olson seconded the

City Council approve the removal of

the span wire traffic signal at the

31st Avenue SW and 10th Street

SW intersection. Wolsky asked if the

City could implement a policy that

when stop lights are installed during

construction, they be removed after

the construction is over. City En-

gineer, Lance Meyer, stated, that is

the current policy. Mayor Sipma

asked what the cost would be to re-

place the signal with an adequate

signal cabinet, to which the City En-

gineer said, it would be about

$250,000. It would have to be paid

for with City funds since the DOT

would not provide funding for unwar-

ranted signals. Upon questioning by

Wolsky, Mr. Meyer explained that

the poles holding the signals will be

removed next year when the storm

sewer assessment project takes

place. He said, when they start in-

stalling pipe and redoing the inter-

section, the poles will be in the way.

The signal is on its last legs so now

that the signals will need to be re-

moved for the project, it is an oppor-

tunity to discuss options. They can

decide to put a signal back up or go

back to a two-way stop at 10th

Street. He further described

changes that can be made to the

two-lane roadway by saying, they

could install a turning lane on 10th

Street to split traffic and make the in-

tersection more efficient. James Bol-

stad, of 500 32nd Ave SW, said, he

is opposed to removing the traffic

signal. He reviewed the traffic study

and said he believes the number of

cars justifies installing a permanent

signal. He said, crossing 31st Ave-

nue is too difficult without a signal.

Podrygula said he understands the

traffic volume doesn’t meet the cri-

teria but believes crossing is difficult.

He raised concerns about the speed

limit differential since the speed limit

on 31st Avenue is 35 mph and 10th

Street is 25 mph. Mr. Meyer said,

the traffic study calculated about 12

cars per minute which is not signifi-

cant volume. The northbound left

turn will see the most delay. By ad-

ding a turning lane, it will separate

traffic and shorten the delay. He said

staff is comfortable with the recom-

mendation and would never recom-

mend anything that would put the

public at risk. Podrygula asked if

they could keep the light until con-

struction starts. Mr. Meyer said, yes,

when taking a light offline, they typi-

cally change it to a flashing light to

monitor issues and delays. As long

as the controller doesn’t fail, the light

can remain in place. Wolsky men-

tioned the new construction and im-

provements in the area asked how

often the City conducts traffic stu-

dies. Mr. Meyer said, this location

has been checked frequently. A

study in 2016 demonstrated the

same results. It would need a 50%

increase in volume to warrant a sig-

nal. He also said, the relocation of

Trinity will not increase traffic that

much but if conditions change, they

can come back with another study.

Podrygula moved Wolsky seconded

to amend the motion to retain the

traffic signal until the 31st Avenue

SW and 10th Street SW intersection

is reconfigured. Podrygula clarified

that the light can switch to flashing a

month or two before construction

and if the signal fails before that

time, staff has the authority not to re-

place broken parts. A vote was tak-

en on the amendment by Podrygula,

seconded by Wolsky and carried by

the following roll call vote: ayes:

Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula,

Straight, Wolsky; nays: Sipma.

Whereupon a vote was taken on the

above motion by Pitner, seconded

by Olson, as amended, and carried

by the following roll call vote: ayes:

Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula,

Sipma, Wolsky; nays: Straight.

Pitner moved Straight seconded and

was carried to approve resolution

3634 authorizing the use of Eminent

Domain for property and structures

located at 1300 4th Avenue NE,

Minot, ND 58703 as part of the HUD

CDBG-DR acquisition program to

support flood control projects. Pitner

moved Jantzer seconded and after

discussion was carried to place and

pass ordinance 5417 on first reading

amending the 2019 annual budget to

increase the flood control sales tax

and flood control capital expendi-

tures for properties acquired on El

Rio Drive using flood control sales

tax reserves. Motion seconded by

Jantzer and carried unanimously.

Straight said he is leery of using

reserves and suggested finding

another funding source. Upon ques-

tioning as to what funding source he

would suggest, Straight said, Hub

City funding could be used. The Fi-

nance Director clarified, sales tax

dollars are allocated to flood control

and if they are not used in the year

they are collected they are placed in

reserves. Applying those funds to

this purchase is still the intended

use of the funds. Mayor Sipma com-

mended staff for conducting internal

audits, finding oversights and

correcting the issues to ensure com-

pliance. Olson moved Straight

seconded and was carried to ap-

prove forgiving Promissory Note for

property owned by Zonna Miller at

519 8th Avenue NE who was benefi-

ciary of a Housing Rehabilitation

CDBG-DR Grant. City Council

President Mark Jantzer, summarized

his message on the 2020 prelim-

inary budget. He made seven points

which he described to the Council

and the public. He also thanked City

staff, the Mayor, and fellow alder-

men for their work on the budget

process. Mayor Sipma requested an

update on the status of the One

Brand MAGIC Fund application.

City Attorney Hendershot responded

by saying, Visit Minot has selected a

vendor but staff had not finished re-

viewing the contract in time to be

placed on the Council agenda. It is

expected to be placed on the next

City Council agenda for approval.

Straight mentioned working closely

with non-profit organizations and

said to be mindful of the legal bills

they ascertain when processing

these requests. Mayor Sipma said

he was looking forward to moving

ahead on this process and asked if

they could grant conditional approval

without waiting until the next Council

meeting. The City Attorney recom-

mended the Council have the con-

tract for review before granting ap-

proval. She said, it is the first time

this type of contract has been con-

sidered and they want to ensure it

meets the new guidelines put in

place by the MAGIC Fund Screening

Committee. She continued by say-

ing, several departments are in-

volved in the review and their com-

ments will be collected and sent

back to Visit Minot. Visit Minot will

then have an opportunity to review

and respond. The City Manager

reminded the Council, it is a unique

agreement and they would rather do

it right the first time than have to do

it over. The Mayor said, if given the

opportunity to call a Special Council

meeting to process the approval

sooner, he is prepared to do so. In

other business, Wolsky stated, he

wrote a letter to the editor which was

published in the Minot Daily News

saying there would be a discussion

on the Gathering Space at this

meeting. He said, the topic was de-

layed until the next Council meeting

at the request of the Mayor. He will

distribute his memo to staff and the

public and encourages conversation

at the next meeting. There being no

further business, Pitner moved Ol-

son seconded and was carried to

adjourn the meeting at 7:42 pm.
