With regard to response time, Robertson stated that there are no
standards or recommendations for response times . Some cities
establish their own, such as Minneapolis, which sites their fire
stations so that they have a 4 minute response time . Many cities
don' t have a standard such as Plymouth, which reports a 8-10

occurred in areas of the budget which are traditionally under
budgeted due to their volatility, such as building permits and
interest rates . Robertson reported that the unspent funds
represent approximately 3 . 5% of the total budget . Robertson
recommended Council take no action until City Auditor David Mol
is present to make his annual audit presentation.

MEMORANDUM
MAR 8 1996 , l I
TO: Mike Robertson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: 7 March 1996
RE: Oak Park Heights - Jerry's Auto Detail - Minor Subdivision
FILE NO: 798.02 - 95.25
As you are aware, Jerry's Auto Detail and Frame, Inc. has applied for a minor subdivision
for the property at 13601 60th Street North (see attached). The subdivision is required to
move the westerly property line so that the existing accessory building is completely within
Jerry's lot and to provide a separation distance for compliance with Uniform Building Code
requirements.
The Zoning Ordinance requires 10 foot side and 20 foot rear yard setbacks for principal
buildings and five foot side and eight foot rear yard setbacks for accessory buildings in the
B-2 District. By moving the line west, further from the existing structures on Jerry's
property, the existing principal building would become compliant with the setback
requirements. The accessory building would still be slightly noncompliant in that the side
yard setback would be only 4.2 feet for a portion of the building. On the other side of the
line, the principal structure on Gardy's property would remain compliant, but the accessory
building would become noncompliant.
The proposed connection for Jerry's buildings that was granted approval by the Council
on 22 January 1995 would still encroach into the side yard setback, even after moving the
line.
In terms of the Uniform Building Code, the 5 foot separation from the property line for the
accessory building reduces the structural requirements to a 2 hour construction. Jim
Butler, the Building Official, has indicated that if the two buildings are connected, the entire
structure would need to be brought up to 2 hour construction standards. So far, specific
plans for Jerry's connecting structure have not been submitted.
The reduction of the side yard also affects the Gardy accessory building. With less than
a 5 foot property line separation, the accessory building would need to be upgraded to a
4 hour construction standard if it were to be used for anything other than storage.
