BY MICHAEL RICCI SUN NEWSPAPERS A Burnsville church has found a way to serve its community and its faith on the same day.

South metro fire chiefs discuss recreational fires Not quite the ‘burning issue’ as in Minneapolis

BY MICHAEL RICCI SUN NEWSPAPERS In recent weeks, Minneapolis City Council members have heard some heated arguments against the practice of recre-

ational fires, prompting the city to consider tightening restrictions altogether.

For cities located in the south metro, where homes aren’t so condensed, the issue is not nearly as contentious, but the issue has raised some questions about recreational fires and the issues that are associated with them, albeit minor by comparison.

According to four fire chiefs from Apple Valley, Burnsville,

Lakeville and Rosemount – the ordinances for their cities are based on state code, via the Minnesota State Department of Public Safety State Fire Marshal Division. For the most part, the ordinances in each parallel the state code.

Nealon Thompson, Apple Valley fire chief, said since a burning ban has been lifted in Dakota County, which started Oct. 6 and ended Oct. 13 due to

Burnsville woman wins lifetime achievement award Robin Kocina recognized for nearly 25 years of success, volunteerism, civic involvement

BY MICHAEL RICCI – SUN NEWSPAPERS For many, nearly 25 years is s lifetime, so it’s only fitting that a Burnsville woman has been recognized for her involved work in the business community during this time.

Robin Kocina, co-owner of Kocina Branding & Marketing in Burnsville, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement award from the Minnesota chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners. Kocina will be presented with the award Thursday, Oct. 27, at the Graves Hotel in Minneapolis.

The award is given based on success in business, volunteerism, and civic involvement, and according to Jennifer Brigham, CEO of Brigham Group Staffing, Kocina embodies these qualities.

“She has sustained a career of being a successful woman business owner, as well as helping other women in business,� said Brigham, who nominated Kocina for the award.

Helping other women succeed in business is not just something that Kocina does – it is a lot more. “I can tell you that my passion is helping women become successful,â€? she said. “When I started ‌ I don’t think back then women helped women like they do today, and I’ve always thought that there was a need.â€?

Kocina focuses much of her attention on WomenVenture, a nonprofit organization in St. Paul whose goal is to provide the tools and support for women to start and grow a business, find a new job, or develop a new career path. “I love mentoring women,� she said. “I love helping women see their potential, find their strength, and work in their strength.�

Incidentally, Kocina said she originally became involved with WomenVenture by accident around 14 years ago. An individual had visited one of the businesses, Media Relations, which falls under the Kocina Branding & Marketing umbrella, in 1998.

Robin Kocina, co-owner of Kocina Branding & Marketing in Burnsville, won the Lifetime Achievement award from the Minnesota chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners. (Submitted photo) Accompanying this individual was a counselor who worked for WomenVenture. After a brief discussion, Kocina knew what she wanted. “I said that’s the organization that I want to be involved in,� she said. “They didn’t have a website, so we donated a website to them, and we’ve been doing work for them and with them ever since.�

Kocina helps WomenVenture by donating time and money. She also chaired the organization’s board of directors for two years. But Kocina’s involvement in similar groups doesn’t end with WomenVenture, as the longtime businesswoman is involved with several organizations.

According to Kocina, she is on the

leadership council for the National Federation of Independent Businesses, on the board for Sales & Marketing Executives International, and is part of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. “The fact that she does so much outreach and helps other women achieve their goals sets her apart,� Brigham said. “She really supports in terms of a business standpoint and a personal standpoint.�

According to Brigham, this was the first time that Kocina had been nominated for the award, and she said that Kocina is “very deserving.�

Very deserving may be one way of describing Kocina, especially when one considers the length of time put into her businesses, which she co-owns with her husband, Lonny. Their venture had humble beginnings. “When we were first in business, we started in our laundry room,� she said. “[Lonny and I] took turns working because my kids were little then. Back then I worked weekends and evenings.

[Lonny] worked days.�

Since those days, Robin and Lonny have grown their businesses and have diversified in other areas. “Media Relations is the oldest. It’s been around the longest, and a lot of the companies kind of started as a division of Media Relations,� she said. “And then they grew and different people run them.�

Under the Kocina Branding & Marketing umbrella are Media Relations, Mid-America Events & Expos, and Checkerboard Strategic Web Development.

Kocina learned that she had won the award through Brigham, who notified her recently. “I feel very honored that she put me up for this,� Kocina said. “I feel honored that my staff supported it. I really feel like my success is because of the people I have here at Media Relations.�

Police chiefs warn of pedestrian safety during ‘darker days’ Advise motorists, trickor-treaters, parents of precautions

BY MICHAEL RICCI – SUN NEWSPAPERS Halloween may include getting frightened for fun. But two south metro police chiefs are urging safety to avoid the frightening feelings that come with a real tragedy.

As the days become darker earlier, the potential for accidents involving motorists and pedestrians, as well as bicyclists, tends to rise. For this reason, Apple Valley Police Chief Scott Johnson and Lakeville Police Chief Tom Vonhof are reminding motorists, parents and kids of steps that can be taken to avoid accidents across the board.

According to Johnson, young children and their parents ought to take several precautions. “Make sure they wear some reflective clothing as part of their costume, give the child a flashlight, make sure they cross at intersections, don’t run, and make sure parents are escorting the young children,� he said.

Similarly, Vonhof said the absolute most important safety issue for kids is that

they wear light-colored costumes and are accompanied by a parent.

But Vonhof added a third point of concern. “Kids get so excited, and they get so focused on it that they are not paying attention to the traffic,� Vonhof said.

As a means of addressing this before it becomes an issue while out trick-ortreating, the chief suggested that parents take a few minutes to sit their children down and talk with them about the evening.

Vonhof said that parents and their children should have a plan, which basically consists of a safe route to minimize the number of times the children could be exposed to traffic. “Go down one side of the street, cross over and come up the other side of the street, not running back and forth across the street,� he said.

For motorists, Johnson said this time of the year, with the sun setting earlier, is especially dangerous due to visibility issues. “Be very, very cautious driving in times of darkness, especially on Halloween

night when we have a number of small children out trick-or-treating,� Johnson said.

On a personal note, Johnson recalled years past as a patrol officer, citing Halloween as being one of his least desired nights to be on duty. “I spent a lot of my years working the street as a patrol officer,� he said. “The night I hated to drive the most was Halloween, not New Year’s but Halloween, simply because there were so many young kids out there on the streets.�

Fortunately, Johnson said he never witnessed any accidents during these early days, but it still prompted him as a police officer to be as alert as possible to any potentially dangerous situations. “As a police officer you are very much aware of pedestrian safety,� he said. “You slowed everything down, your responses to emergency calls, just because you knew that there were those children out there.�

Vonhof noted the visibility issues, or lack thereof, at this time of the year when days, and the natural light that comes with them, are shorter.

‘Motorists have to be extremely careful with all of the things they have to be watching for.’

“This happens so quickly at this time of year that it takes people by surprise,�

Vonhof said. “In the morning, we have people driving to work and the sun is at a lower angle than it normally would be during the summer time, and going home is the same thing.�

According to Vonhof, it is this transition time that really becomes one of those difficult times for motorists to see other vehicles and pedestrians.

Also on a personal note, Vonhof cited a concern of his own, one he recalls from his own childhood. “I don’t really like the costumes that have the mask on them where it restricts vision,� he said, adding that these take away from one’s peripheral vision. “You don’t want to have a mask having any type of vision obscurement.�

Vonhof ’s message to motorists, like Johnson’s message, emphasized caution. “Motorists have to be extremely careful with all of the things they have to be watching for,� Vonhof said.

These days kids are starting their trickor-treat outings much earlier in the past.

Nowadays, kids are out there at 3:30 or 4 p.m. in the afternoon when people are coming home, according to Vonhof. “You have to be aware of that and put a mental reminder that you have to be very careful while coming home,� he said.

PUBLIC SAFETY Lakeville Fire Dept. incident report for Oct. 9-16

They should keep their costumes well away from the ones that contain candles.

From Oct. 9 to Oct. 16, members of the Lakeville Fire Department responded to 21 calls for service: one vehicle fire, one brush fire, one lawn mower fire, one motor vehicle accident with injuries, four medicals, one gas leak, one service call, one flammable liquid spill, one shorted electrical equipment, two smoke scares, five false alarms, and two good intents.

Fire Prevention Tip Instead of cutting a hole in the top of your pumpkin, cut a hole in the bottom.

This will make cleaning out the seeds easier and will allow your light inside to be on a stable surface.

Even better, use a flameless candle or glow stick instead of a candle. Keep corn stalks and hay away from lit candles and open flames. Remember that open flames are the second leading cause of home fires in Minnesota.

If kids are wearing long, flowing costumes, remind them to pay attention to jack-o-lanterns on doorsteps.

Dumb criminal arrested for incident on driveway We all know that drinking and driving is a bad idea and always results in a bad outcome, but the individual in a case recently didn’t even get down the driveway before he had trouble.

The incident started when Lakeville police officers Jason Jensen and Tom Danielson responded to a report of a hitand-run crash in a residential neighborhood.

When they arrived at the scene, they found a parked van that had been significantly damaged by a neighbor’s vehicle as it backed out of the driveway.

When the officers got out of their cars, they were advised that the neighbor’s vehicle that had caused the damage had returned to the scene.

The officers quickly located the driver of the suspect vehicle. The driver was found to be intoxicated and was arrested and jailed. The vehicle was towed and impounded.

How I broke my glasses and the philosophical implications therein With little ceremony and a generous sigh of annoyance, I listened to my glasses crack as I put on a sweater the other day.

Honestly...

Even in the recent past, breaking my glasses would be a cause for much greater frustration, but I guess I’m going soft in my old(er) age.

A friend of mine recently sent me a text message after a lengthy conversation that read simply, “You wish you were old.”

Now I don’t know about “old” per se, but I would grant that I’m a few more steps down the road toward retrospection than some of my contemporaries. That’s a good name for a running column: “Prematurely Retrospective.” I might even

DANIEL CALLAHAN Sun-Current Managing Editor start branding my column that way.

I bent the frames back (mostly) into place and put them back on.

As a journalist, I don’t necessarily value precision sight as much as, say, a photographer does, but there is that pesky small amount of reading that goes into being an editor and with the bent-and-re-bent frames I’ve got sitting on my face, I’m not seeing things quite as clearly as I was a week ago.

Visually, that is, not mentally.

At least I hope not. But if I were, would I know?

I read a lot of copy while editing content for the Sun-Current and with the slightly “off ” glasses, I’m having a hard time keeping my eyes focused. This is, of course, maddening, but it’s not the end of the world. I’ll get through it.

The long and short of what I’m saying here is that you’ve got to let the little things slide.

There’s not a lot of sense getting riled up.

Years ago, when I was in high school, I was a bit of a music enthusiast and played bass guitar on an album titled “Wet Shoes and Missed Belt Loops.”

Ah, life’s little annoyances. I’m

not sure where my band mates came up with the title, but years later I still think of that phrase when I’m feeling irritated by something trivial. I think the solution to the posed question in that title is shoes dry out and you can restring your belt. The little things can be solved and there’s nothing worth getting all irked over.

After some deliberation, I settled on a new set that I hope will be a bit more durable than the current ones and have a but of a “hipster” flair to them as well.

The lady in the shop said I could “pull them off,” so I’m not too worried. I’m anxiously waiting for a call that my new glasses are ready to go. But I can wait.

It can’t take too long, right?

Propaganda still a factor in the information marketplace Propaganda is a word we just don’t use a lot in today’s lingo.

Maybe it’s not quite politically correct for some or perhaps folks just don’t know what it means any longer.

Here’s the best definition I found online: a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position so as to benefit oneself.

During election cycles, we occasionally have to deal with propaganda. This year there is one particular fabrication that has crept into many letters to the editor and other communications we’ve received.

It goes like this: “I understand that the Legislature cut aid to local schools …”

Wrong.

The last legislative session augmented K-12 school finances, albeit they borrowed money to do so. Every district had money added to its coffers. Probably not

PAUL WAHL Sun Newspapers Senior Managing Editor as much as anyone would have liked, but it was an augmentation nonetheless, not a cut.

Yet time and again we’ve heard this tired cliché.

I can only tip my hat to teachers, school districts and other supporters of public education who have done such a good job of propagandizing this issue that people actually believe a lie.

You have to wonder: Are they doing the same thing with our students?

As the Minnesota Legislature poises itself to talk about reinventing government, there’s a good likelihood education funding may actually be cut. But let’s not jump the gun.

Another piece of propaganda we’ve dealt with over the last couple weeks includes statements

about the mess we’re in being either all the fault of the governor and the DFL or all the fault of legislature and the Republicans.

It really does take two to tango – and to write and approve legislation and see it turned into law.

It’s really hard for either side to say the other held a gun to their heads to get them to agree to a horrible budget that did not do justice to anyone.

It’s usually said that in politics there are winners and losers.

In Minnesota, we seem only to have losers. Certainly the taxpayers aren’t the winners, The jokers who have placed party affiliation above the good of their constituents have triumphed. The flags in Minnesota should fly at half mast permanently.

It’s seems totally incongruous to me that in a day when accurate information is as readily available as tap water we still have people who are duped into believing untruths. And not just little white lies either, but big whop-

ping in-your-face distortions of the facts. The “true facts” as a good friend of mine is fond of saying.

One theory says we have so much information that for simplicity sake, people pick one source and stick with it, clinging to whatever that source says as God’s honest truth. Even when it’s a bald-faced lie.

Too bad. I suppose I should stop spreading the news about the sun now rises in the west.

CORRECTION In the Oct. 20 edition of the Burnsville/Lakeville SunCurrent, a headline about the Lakeville teachers’ union and the Lakeville Area Public Schools district incorrectly identified the school district. It should have stated district 194.

The Sun Current regrets the error.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS School District 191 property tax will be reduced in 2012 The District 191 property tax levy has remained relatively flat over the past three years and will go down slightly next year.

The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 Board of Education has approved an annual operating levy that slightly reduces the school district’s portion of local property taxes for next year.

The board set the proposed property tax levy, payable in 2012, at .10 percent less than 2011.

“We’ve done the best we can to keep any change in the levy to near zero for the past three consecutive years,” said Lisa Rider, the district’s executive director of business services. The 2011 levy was only .38 percent more than 2010. The levy for 2010 was just .06 percent more than 2009.

The annual operating levy, which will raise about $33.8 million for the 2012-2013 school year, represents 20 percent of the district’s total revenue.

School districts receive most of their revenue from the State of Minnesota.

The effect of the school district’s levy will vary for property owners depending upon individual circumstances. Property owners will receive tax statements from their county in November with details of their specific situation.

The school district’s annual Truth in Taxation hearing will occur during the regular board meeting 6:30 p.m.

Thursday, Dec. 1, at the senior campus commons of Diamondhead Education Center, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway, Burnsville. This is an opportunity to learn more about the district’s budget and the annual operating levy and to ask questions.

By Dec. 30, the school board must approve a final property tax levy, which is the first step in the budgeting process for the 2012-13 school year.

Lakeville hosting city budget open house meeting Nov. 9 The city of Lakeville will host a city budget informational open house 5:307 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, Lakeville Water Treatment Facility, 18400 Ipava Ave. Residents and business representa-

tives are encouraged to attend to learn more about the preliminary 2012-2013 budget and have questions answered prior to final budget approval in December.

Walter settles with city of LV over possible defamation suit Lakeville Senior Center Coordinator Linda Walter has decided to settle with the city of Lakeville over remarks made by Mayor Mark Bellows.

According to Walter’s lawyer, Chris Heinze, his client settled the suit because Walter was not interested in a protracted defamation of character lawsuit. Heinze added that Walter simply settled for attorney fees.

Lakeville City Administrator Steve Mielke said the dollar amount of the settlement was $1,225 but declined to comment on any other specifics related to the issue, except that the settlement puts and end to the matter in terms of any future litigation.

During a regular city council meeting Sept. 19, Lakeville Mayor Mark Bellows accused city employee Linda Walter of lying to the city council with regard to the Lakeville Senior Center.

Walter retained Heinze shortly after in the event she decided to file a defamation of character suit.

During the council’s Oct. 3 regular meeting, however, the council issued a statement to clarify Bellows’ allegations that Walter had lied. It served as a summary of a Sept. 28 performance review of Walter that Bellows had previously called for.

Councilmember Laurie Rieb read a state aloud indicating that the mayor’s comments were “intended to reflect a perception in the community that he is opposed to the senior center and was not attributable to Ms. Walter.”

Burnsville company launches church fundraising franchise opportunities Company excited by concept’s possibilities

BY MICHAEL RICCI – SUN NEWSPAPERS A new concept mixing faith and business has one Burnsville company excited about its future and future clients alike.

Walsh & Associates, Church Fundraising Specialists, 1601 Highway 13 E., launched a new concept Oct. 12, which will allow franchise opportunities to individuals with the right skills and a passion for their faith.

“It is a brand new concept,” said owner Michael Walsh. “There really is nothing like it, and we’re really excited about it.”

According to Walsh, his business specializes in working with churches and helping them to obtain the financial means to achieve a variety of

goals, considered as a major need. The company has spent about 20 years perfecting this system, which is repeatable, according to Walsh.

“I’ve always had an idea that I would like to franchise the business and offer other people the opportunity to do this work without having to start a business from scratch,” Walsh said, adding he wants to see new franchisees “hit the ground running,” for themselves and the churches they will be serving.

“Basically we’re looking for people with business skills, marketing skills, fundraising skills if they have them, people of faith that are active and involved in their own church community and want to combine their passion for their faith with a business,” Walsh said.

Walsh summarized the approach that his business will take with churches. Consultants will go in and

work with a church over a six-month period of time to help them raise funds for whatever their major need is.

“We do everything from putting together all the printed and promotional materials for the effort, helping to recruit and train volunteers,” he said. “Then the volunteers reach out to members of the church and ask them to make pledges, typically over three years.”

According to Walsh, there is not other business like this. He added that there are companies that perform the same functions but none that have ever thought to franchise.

“We’re looking to sell 12 franchises in different geographical regions throughout the United States, and the person that owns that area, or is the franchisee of that area, would basically help any church that is looking to raise significant funds,” he said.

Walsh described the need for “significant funds” as anything that is above and beyond the regular operating needs of the church.

“If a church wants to build a new edition or relocate and build an all new campus, or build an education wing, building is a big part of what we do,” Walsh said. “But we also do a number of campaigns for debt retirement on things that have been built before.”

Typically, the company’s fundraising campaigns raise anywhere from $750,000 up to $10,000,000 or more, according to Walsh.

Walsh started his company in 1991, at least when he decided to exclusively work in the faith arena, and his company has grown steadily since, he said.

“We do about 30 campaigns for churches across the country every year,” he said. “We’ve grown from one person to six, and six consultants.”

Church FROM PAGE 1 of “service worship” will replace the church’s traditional worship services.

Lead pastor John Foley, who referred to the act as service worship, described the process of organizing the event.

“This has been a great opportunity to connect with the city of Burnsville, with the police department, and with the agency DARTS in identifying families that can be best served,” Foley said.

“Thus, we are not choosing families, but asking for help from the city and others in how we can best serve our community.”

DARTS, a nonprofit based in St. Paul, works with others to deliver services that support the full participation of older adults and all generations in community life.

Volunteers will be meeting at the church 10:30 a.m. for a quick service before teams go their own ways to perform an act of kindness. The work will be performed at designated homes within the city of Burnsville.

Foley said the idea for the event originated with a youth pastor at Faith Covenant Church about two months ago.

“Josh Johnson first had the idea to invite the church to join the youth in a service project,” Foley said, adding he saw this as “a wonderful opportunity to bring this to more of main event, by making it the one thing we all do together as our worship Sunday morning.”

Church member Jayne Stolt is one of several members who took a position on a small committee to help organize the event, which is being referred to as “Love Burnsville.”

“I think this is a great extension of our worship,” she said. “I think it is a way of putting feet to our faith. It’s not just about attending worship service in

church.”

Stolt handles the registration of volunteers as part of her committee duties, and she said that she and other church officials are expecting more than 225 people.

To a lesser extent, Stolt has been involved in organizing a gathering after all of the work is completed. She also commented on steps taken by volunteers to allow other volunteers to take part in the event.

“Were having a luncheon afterward, so there are people who are helping with that, and childcare for people who can’t bring their kids out because they are too young,” Stolt said.

Stolt continued by saying the childcare volunteers will be at the church while others are out performing their service worship and that other volunteers will be assisting in different ways.

“Others who for whatever physical reasons can’t help will have a prayer support team back at the church praying while the event is going on for the people who are participating, but more importantly the homeowners,” she said.

According to Foley, this is the first time that the church and its members have endeavored into such an activity, which has led to some excitement.

When it comes to replacing regular worship with service, the pastor said the concept causes people to rethink what it means to worship.

“I just think sometimes we get stuck into a mentality. In the church sometimes we think that worship just happens on a Sunday morning when we gather in the church building,” he said.

“This is a great opportunity to think, ‘Wait. Worship is loving, serving God, serving others, and we love God by loving others.’”

According to Stolt, church members and non-members are welcome to volunteer their services. Anyone wishing to volunteer can contact Stolt by calling 952-447-7088.

EdenPURE ranked #1 in North America ®

Save $192 - biggest savings ever Never be cold again

How it works:

Bob Vila, America’s Favorite Home Improvement Expert, Canton, Ohio

I know why millions of Americans are saving on their heating bills with the EdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater.

And now you can save up to $192, our lowest prices ever on the new 2012 EdenPURE® Personal Heater. The heater I personally rank #1 in North America.

For over 30 years as your home improvement television host, I have reviewed and experienced thousands of products. I have an EdenPURE ® in my Massachusetts home and found it to be a very safe and reliable source of portable heat. This is one of those few comfort investments I can recommend for your home that will truly pay dividends.

We all know heating costs are expected to remain at record levels. The cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. The EdenPURE® can cut your heating bills, pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that.

With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EdenPURE ® heats better, faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.

A major cause of residential fires in the United States is portable heaters. The choice of fire and safety professionals everywhere, the EdenPURE ® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets. And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE®.

Accept no imitations.

The EdenPURE® can also help you feel better. Unlike EdenPURE® imitators, it will not reduce humidity or oxygen in the room. These imitators use ce-

Heats floor to the same temperature as ceiling.

CUTAWAY VIEW

1. Electricity ignites powerful SYLVANIA infrared lamps.

2. The quartz infrared lamp gently warms the patented copper heating chambers.

3. The soft heat “rides” the humidity in the room and provides even, moist, soft heat ceiling to floor and wall to wall without reducing oxygen and humidity.

ramic plates instead of our patented copper. Cheap ceramic plates reduce humidity, dry out your sinuses and make your skin dry. With other heating sources, you'll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

The advanced space-age EdenPURE ® also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Other heating sources heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated high and to the center of the room. And as you know, portable heaters only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EdenPURE®, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.

How can a person cut their heating bill with the EdenPURE®? First, the EdenPURE® uses less energy to create heat than many other sources, but that is just part of why it will cut a person’s heating bill. The EdenPURE® will heat a room in minutes. You will immediately notice the difference! Therefore, you can turn the heat down in your

house to as low as 50 degrees, but the room you are occupying, which has the EdenPURE ® , will be warm and comfortable.

Your EdenPURE ® easily moves from room to room.

Using zone heating keeps you comfortable and reduces your heating bills. This can drasti-

cally cut heating bills; in some instances, the savings may be substantial.

The EdenPURE® will pay for itself in weeks. It will keep a great deal of extra money in a user’s pocket. Because of today’s spiraling gas, oil, propane, and other energy costs, the EdenPURE® will provide even greater savings as time goes by.

The EdenPURE® Personal Heater comes with a comprehensive three year warranty and a 60-day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee – EdenPURE® will even pay for

the return shipping. There is absolutely no risk. And EdenPURE ® is the only portable heater with a National Service Network.

First Dakota County Technical College president passes away David L. Schroeder served the college for three decades, beginning in 1970

BY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS

The first DCTC president, David L. Schroeder, received The Spirit of DCTC Award in 2010. Even after retiring in 1999, Schroeder’s oldest daughter Deidra Huff said he never stopped teaching and imparting wisdom to family and friends. (Submitted photo)

David L. Schroeder was a man of education, through and through. As the first president of Dakota County Technical College, Schroeder worked so others could find work for themselves.

“It was his passion,” said Deidra Huff, Schroeder’s oldest daughter. “He devoted his life to education.”

On Oct. 15, Schroeder passed away at the age of 74.

“He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family,” Huff said.

In October 1970, Schroeder became the first director of the Dakota County Area Vocational-Technical Institute, as DCTC was then called, in Rosemount.

His philosophy for technical education focused on providing students with effective pathways to secure and find rewarding careers.

Huff, who grew up in Burnsville, said she recalls seeing the institute in its infancy, spending many hours at the school’s campus with her older brother, Aaron, and younger sister, Adley Walschlager.

“We were there when the property was established and we all watched it get built from the ground up,” Huff said, now a Naples, Fla., resident.

“We started with nothing and created programs that changed people’s lives,” Schroeder is quoted as saying in a news release issued by DCTC. After two name changes, the institute became the Dakota County Technical College in 1989. Six years later, when DCTC merged with other institutions in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, Schroeder became president of the college.

“He was very proud of Dakota Technical Institute, as it was called back then – the programs and putting people to work through education,” Huff said.

Four years later in 1999, Schroeder retired having served the college for three decades.

Ron Thomas has served as the DCTC president since Schroeder’s retirement and often sought his advice.

“He was always available to me and to the college,” Thomas said. “My transition was made easier because of him, no doubt about it.”

Schroeder’s character, as well as his professional acumen, is how Thomas will remember the former president.

“He was probably one of the most kindest, caring people that I ever met,” Thomas said. “I think it was related in how he dealt with people on a daily basis.”

“He was a teacher and a learner, an inquisitive guy. In the field of education, that’s what you have always have got to be doing – just be a life-long SCHROEDER: TO NEXT PAGE

Seniors It’s Time To Review Your Medical & Drug Insurance Coverages If you have not reviewed your medical or prescription drug plans in the last 2-3 years, you should do so this year. There are new plans available, with great benefits, that could save you a lot of money.

There is a new drug plan for $35.40 per month with no annual deductible and a zero copay for generic drugs when ordered thru the mail. You can go to any drug store, even Walgreens. This may be important this year as Lipitor and Diovan will be going generic.

There is an excellent combination plan (Medical & Prescription drugs) available for $49 per month, or if you are a Veteran who gets all of his or her drugs thru the VA, there is a medical plan available at a very low rate.

This year you must make changes to your plans between Oct 15th - Dec 7th

Schroeder FROM PREVIOUS PAGE learner. And, I think that’s why he was such a successful president at Dakota County.”

After retiring, Huff said her father spent time at home, but also in the Brainerd Lakes area at the family cabin.

“He enjoyed living in Burnsville and enjoyed spending time up at the cabin,” Huff said. “He enjoyed fishing at the cabin with all the grandkids, teaching them how to fish.”

And that’s how Huff thinks her father would want to be remembered – as a man who continued educating long after his retirement.

“He never stopped teaching us and that’s his legacy,” Huff said.

At Schroeder’s funeral Oct. 19, Huff took solace in knowing her father left a legacy with many of the people he encountered throughout his life. Huff estimated nearly 200 people came to pay their respects and many shared stories about her father.

“Probably the nicest thing at the funeral was hearing what a positive impact he made in their life, Huff said.

“Whether it was family, friends, neighbors, co-workers – everybody had a great story to tell.”

Huff said she and her family still maintain a fondness for Dakota County Technical College.

“We still drink out of the coffee cups

with the school’s name on it,” she said.

“It was a favorite.”

In 2010, Schroeder was given The Spirit of DCTC Award, which “recognizes individuals who have contributed selflessly to the college mission while showing boundless support for student success in the classroom and beyond,” according to the college.

Schroeder was born on March 15, 1937, to Roy and Edith Schroeder in St. Paul. He grew up in St. Paul, graduated from Wilson High School in 1956 and later graduated from Hamline University. He served in the U.S. Army and worked for the State Department and was proud to have held the rank of Eagle Scout, Huff said.

In partnership with the Schroeder family, the DCTC Foundation has established a memorial scholarship to honor Schroeder. For more information about the scholarship, contact the Office of the President at ron.thomas@dctc.edu or the DCTC Foundation at 651-423-8293.

“If people are interested in submitting a financial donation, it would go to a great cause to help a student,” Thomas said.

Schroeder is survived by wife of 23 years, Terry Davis Schroeder; his brother Roy (Marilyn); his children, Aaron (Louann) Schroeder, Deidra (Bradley) Huff, Adley (Michael) Walschlager, and Suzanne (Bob) Heitzman; 10 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.

“He was really a wonderful man,” Huff said. “He was kind a generous and well-loved and he had a sense of humor about him.”

The system will be used to provide essential information quickly in a variety of situations, such as pandemic information, evacuation of buildings or any threat to public safety.

Between 6-7 p.m., residents will receive a welcome message that will ensure them the system is working properly and give residents an idea of what to expect from the system.

For this test, the notification system will use one point of contact, which will be the home phone number on record with the local phone provider.

Available on the Dakota Communications Center website, mndcc.org, is a link to the Mass Telephone Notification System so citizens can add

additional contact paths, such as cellular and work phones, email addresses and other forms of communication to ensure the best chance of effective message delivery in an emergency.

Q. How can I tell if I have soft water in my home?

A. There are a few simple steps to take when the cold weather starts to ensure you’ll have a safe, warm and low stress heating season. First, have a furnace maintenance and safety check done by a qualified HVAC professional. Annual maintenance extends the life of equipment and saves you on costly repair bills. Second, replace your furnace filter and humidifier pad. Nothing is more critical to the life and efficiency of your furnace than replacing your furnace filter regularly. Third, ensure leaves are cleared from outdoor piping. Fourth, set thermostat from cool to heat. Fifth, put electrical circuit breaker for air conditioner to off position.

A. Many people have not yet installed a water softener in their home. For some that have, they may not know if their unit is working. Culligan® offers FREE in-home water analysis. We visit your home, test your water and provide you with excellent information about your home’s water treatment.

Dental Advice

Q: Can I have my vehicle repaired with original equipment parts . . . and will the company pay for them?

Q: Why is having regular dental care important to my overall health?

A: If parts are being replaced on your damaged ve-

A: Taking care of your teeth is more than having a nice smile and pleasant breath. Research has shown the condition of your mouth is closely tied to your overall health. Poor oral health has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, pregnancy complications and more. In fact, the signs and symptoms of many potentially life-threatening diseases appear in the mouth first. Dentists routinely screen for these signs and symptoms during your dental exam. Having your twice yearly dental exams and cleanings will keep your teeth and gums healthy and alert you to any problems early.

hicle, your insurance company is required to pay for original equipment (OE) parts, unless you agree to aftermarket parts (parts not made by your vehicle’s manufacturer). However, your insurance company is only responsible for restoring your vehicle to the way it was before it was damaged. If your vehicle was not new at the time of the loss, the insurer does not have to pay for new OE parts. They must pay for parts of “like kind and quality” (OE parts of comparable age and condition). If you request new OE parts on an older vehicle, you may have to pay the difference.

Recreation fires FROM PAGE 1 debris.”

Neither Thompson nor his nearby counterparts indicated that burning debris was an issue in their communities, but all agreed that burning leaves was unwise and against code.

“Leaves, because they are a lightweight fuel, have the potential to become airborne and travel with the wind or travel with the heat that the fire is generating, which could start something else on fire,” Thompson said. “If they are dry, they are so light that they have the potential to spread the fire very rapidly and very quickly.”

The chief continued by saying that leaves this time of the year tend to produce a lot of smoke, which sometimes becomes an issue.

“That is due to the moisture content of them. Those are the two predominant reasons,” he said of the risks associated with burning leaves. Unlike a chimney flue, the leaves also do not have time to cool before possibly landing on a neighbor’s roof or another potentially dangerous surface, the chief added.

Farther south, in Lakeville, Lakeville Fire Chief Mike Meyer said Lakeville’s ordinances do not deviate from the state,

but like Thompson, he spoke of the issues he’s seen associated with recreational fires.

Similar to Thompson in Apple Valley, Meyer said that oils, fuels, plastics, tires and similar items were prohibited, and as long as residents are following code, there is usually no need for concern, but Meyer said there are times when these fires do become an issue.

“We get calls. I won’t say we get a lot.

When we do get calls, either the police or [the LFD] will follow up with the resident and the complaint,” Meyer said. “If there are a lot of complaints as far as somebody having a recreational fire, then we’re going to ask them to extinguish it.”

Meyer, however, stressed that common sense should prevail in these situations.

“Use common sense and make sure that if there are any issues, between the person having the fire and their neighbors, that they try to work it out amongst themselves,” the chief said. But he acknowledged there are times that this is not possible, “Yes there are times when you do have to call.”

Otherwise, according to Meyer, anyone wishing to have a recreational fire should be mindful of their neighbors with regard to excessive winds and burning.

“Put yourself in their shoes,” he said, adding rhetorically, “Do you want that smoke coming into your house?”

In Rosemount, Chief Scott Aker said

In the Community, With the Community, For the Community

his city used to issue permits for recreational fires, but the matter became so inconsequential that the requirement was done away with years ago.

“We have not had any major trouble with it,” Aker said of the lifted requirement.

As in Apple Valley and Lakeville, Aker said his department also receives some calls, but not very frequently.

“We do get calls sometimes, and we go out and have to remind people that it should be wood that they are burning and not leaves or something like that. A few people just need a little education along those lines.”

Aker went on to say that when his department does receive calls about recreational fires, the matter is usually resolved without incident.

“If we do get any complaints, sometimes it’s people who are allergic to or bothered by smoke if they happen to have a neighbor who frequently has a recreational fire,” Aker said. “Nine out of 10 times, it’s usually worked out between the neighbors, and the fire department doesn’t have to get involved.”

According to Burnsville Fire Chief B.J. Jungmann, much like his neighboring chiefs, the BFD is forced to extinguish recreational fires in the event there are excessive complaint calls made about a particular fire, but usually this situation is more than it seems.

A&J Painting is a family owned and operated business.

A&J Painting is a family owned and operated business that was started 15 years ago with my sons Andrew, Jeremiah, and David. In today’s economic climate we have maintained a healthy business due to our professional approach and work ethic that carries the highest standards of quality for every job. We have thrived over the years because of the volume of callbacks and customer referrals from previously contracted jobs. No contract is too big or too small for our company.

A&J Painting operates as a licensed and insured painting company that offers trained and skilled (journeyman) employee’s to paint and remodel your home or business. All of our employee’s have been with the company for several years and each has been trained to the highest standards. We take pride in the honesty, integrity, and character of the young men we have employed.

My son Andrew is a highly skilled and trained carpenter. He also does taping, knock down ceilings, tiling, installs plumbing, lighting fixtures, countertops and offers many types of custom carpentry. Andrew operates a professional spray booth off site for finishes on cabinetry and furniture. His current focus is on remodeling, updating, and modernizing

homes and businesses. Andrew’s perfectionist approach to every job and the extent of his skill set have made him one of the best craftsman in the Twin Cities.

My other two sons run the painting end of the business and are also professionally trained Artists. Jeremiah attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and later studied under the mentorship of the nationally renowned portrait and fresco painter Mark Balma. David similarly was accepted into a full time master apprenticeship program at the young age of 16 at the highly respected Atelier Lack Studio. They followed in the family tradition of mastering a professional craft and skill which they have brought to our company.

Between the two they offer 25 years of experience painting interior and exterior homes in the metro area with our family business.

A&J Painting takes great pride in our ability to make a true and lasting impression on you.

I can’t tell you how many letters and calls I have received over the years from customers who just wanted to share with me what a great job we did. We hope to have the opportunity to do so with you as well. We are only a call or e-mail away to offer you a free estimate of our professional services.

As is often the case in the nearby communities of Apple Valley, Lakeville and Rosemount, calls are typically made when two neighbors can’t get find a solution on their own.

“Many times that’s what we’re getting in the middle of,” Jungmann said.

The Burnsville chief added that wood should be clean and dry and that wet wood can produce steam and smoke. Jungmann said when these wood conditions are combined with a wind, in excess of state code – 15-20 miles per hour – it can create a nuisance. If enough calls are made, the BFD or Burnsville Police Department is forced to issue a citation or a fine.

Jungmann, however, said that unless the ordinances are being grossly violated, there usually is not a problem.

“We want people to enjoy a recreational fire if they want,” he said.

Unlike Apple Valley, Lakeville, and Rosemount, the city of Burnsville does require those having a recreational fire to have in their possession a copy of the city’s ordinances, according to Jungmann.

Highlights of the state fire code: • Recreational fires must be at least 25 feet from all buildings or combustible materials.

Combustible materials are things such as wood, paper, and plastics.

• Recreational fires must be constantly attended until the fire burns out completely or is extinguished.

• A minimum of one portable fire extinguisher … or other approved on-site fire extinguishing equipment, such as dirt, sand, or garden hose shall be readily available at all times until the fire is extinguished.

• The only materials permitted in a recreational fire are wood from trees, small branches, brush, or charcoal. Treated lumber materials, construction debris, garbage, plastic materials, or waste materials are not allowed to be burned in recreational fires.

The state fire code does not contain any regulations for immediate extinguishment if the smoke from a recreational fire is a nuisance to an adjoining property. City ordinances are typically tailored to address this issue.

Eagan Police Departments hosts K-9 training World-renowned Winnipeg Police Service K-9 Unit helps lead training exercise

BY MATTHEW HANKEY – SUN NEWSPAPERS On-duty police officers often have a solitary job, spending much of their time

in squad cars. But training exercises allow officers to exchange expertise and work together.

The week of Oct. 17-20, police officers and law enforcement personnel from the metro area and beyond convened at the Flint Hills Resources Training Facility in Rosemount for a specialized K-9 training session.

One law enforcement unit – the Winnipeg Police Service K-9 Unit – traveled nearly 500 miles to Rosemount for the

weeklong training session. One of the world’s foremost units in K-9 training, the Winnipeg displayed its expertise at the session hosted by the Eagan Police Department.

The Winnipeg Police Service K-9 unit is world renowned in part because it nearly exclusively trains its dogs in “tracking,” the focus of the training session.

Tracking is the term for how K-9s follow a suspect’s scent, which will in theory lead the dog and its handler to the suspect.

“They have a lot of experience with it and a proven method and I guess that’s why they’re at where they are at,” said Eagan Police Officer Andy Helgerson of Winnipeg’s reputation.

Twenty-three police officers from Burnsville, Apple Valley, Bloomington, Plymouth, Minnetonka, Brooklyn Park and West St. Paul among others, as well as 20 K-9s, participated in the training.

Helgerson praised Winnipeg’s strategies and said the training proved educational for all the departments involved.

The Eagan P o l i c e Department practices tracking, but also focuses on other K-9 training aspects, such as criminal apprehension and bomb and narcotics detection. The Winnipeg unit places tracking above all other K-9 training exercises.

“When someone runs from committing a crime, we need to follow the scent and find that person,” Helgerson said. “We’re learning a lot of new techniques – sort of a different spin on things. It’s been excellent.”

Helgerson said the most important thing he learned is how to work a dog’s leash. It’s an art form, he said. Officers need to recognize when the dog gives a negative behavior.

“It’s up to me to work that dog back to where I know he was actively working a track and to work it,” he said.

The Winnipeg unit taught that studying the dog’s behavior is vital when tracking.

“The best way I can describe this to people, is the dog is taking us from one point to the other,” Helgerson said. “How we get there isn’t as simple as running behind the dog. Scent pools and the odors are going to be moving around.”

“You need to learn how to read your dog’s body language and get him motivat-

ed to work that track and get his nose on the ground. That’s what it really comes down to.”

The law enforcement officers utilized the 750-acre outdoor training area at the Flint Hills Resources Training Facility, though some training had to be done offsite because of scent contamination, said Harry Wickhorst, Flint Hills construction manager.

“What they do is they lay a trail for the dogs and the dogs have to find it out,” Wickhorst said. “And they could only do that so many times in one area.”

Helgerson said Eagan police use the facility three to four times a year.

“The nice thing about that is they’re very accommodating there,” he said.

“Anything we want, within reason, they’re going to do for us. They have a lot of room inside. Not everything we do is outdoors.”

The site features a mock duplex and apartment units used for indoor tracking, Wickhorst said.

“The walls are made so they have sliding doors, which makes it a continuous room or smaller, individual rooms,” Wickhorst said.

“They like it because it can versatile and we can change it up.

We have a variety of things for them to do, not just for the dogs, but for the people as well.”

This year marked the first time the Winnipeg unit helped lead the training at the Flint Hills facility, though they have trained with the Brooklyn Park Police Department in years past, Helgerson said.

The Winnipeg unit essentially volunteered their time at the training session, Helgerson said.

“They’re not making a dime,” he said.

“They recognize the value in training other K-9 units some of the skills they’ve learned over the years. They know that it’s for the greater good of the community.

They know the better we are, the better we all are.”

Each police team paid a registration fee for the training. Elko Speedway and the U.S.P.C.A. Region 18 made donations as well.

Helgerson said expert training is invaluable for the city as a whole.

“This isn’t my dog,” Helgerson said of Maverick, an 8-year-old German Shepherd he’s handled for nearly seven years. “This is the community of Eagan’s dog.”

‘You need to learn how to read your dog’s body language and get him motivated to work that track and get his nose on the ground.’

Currently, 129 acres in Burnsville (east of I-35W and north of Cliff Road) are designated as the Black Dog Nature Preserve SNA. This hearing is to take public testimony regarding removing the SNA status from this land. About 94 acres of the SNA is owned by The Nature Conservancy which has entered into an agreement to donate their land to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to become part of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The other ~35 acres of the SNA is owned by the state DNR which is considering transferring or selling that land to the USFWS to also become part of the adjoining Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Public use and natural resource management is expected to remain the same under the USFWS. For basic information on the Black Dog Nature Preserve SNA and its location see: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/snas/sna010 10/index.html.

At the hearing, a hearing official will record all testimony on de-designation of this site as an SNA. Maps and information on the Black Dog Nature Preserve SNA will be available and SNA Program and USFWS staff will be available for questions. Written statements on this subject will also be accepted through November 3, 2011. Testimony may be emailed to peggy.booth@state.mn.us or sent to Scientific and Natural Areas Program, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, 500 Lafayette Rd, Box 25, St. Paul, MN 55155-4025.

SECTION 1. Title 10, Chapter 10 (Flood Plain Regulations), of the Burnsville City Code is amended to add the provisions shown with underlined text and delete provision shown with a line through the text to read as follows: CHAPTER 10 FLOOD PLAIN REGULATIONS SECTION: 10-10- 1: Statutory Authorization, Findings of Fact and Purpose 10-10- 2: General Provisions 10-10- 3: Flood Plain Zoning Districts

10-10- 4: Floodway District (FW) 10-10- 5: Flood Fringe District (FF) 10-10- 6: General Flood Plain District (GFP) 10-10- 7: Subdivisions 10-10- 8: Public Utilities, Railroads, Roads and Bridges 10-10- 9: Manufactured Homes and Manufactured Home Parks and Placement of Recreational Vehicles 10-10-10: Administration 10-10-11: Nonconforming Uses 10-10-12: Penalties for Violation 10-10-13: Amendments 10-10-1: STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT AND PURPOSE: (A) Statutory Authorization: The legislature of the State of Minnesota has, in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103F and 462.357 delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to minimize flood losses. Therefore the city council of the City of Burnsville, Minnesota does ordain as follows: (B) Findings of Fact: 1. The flood hazard areas of the City of Burnsville are subject to periodic inundation which results in potential loss of life, loss of property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.

2. Methods Used to Analyze Flood Hazards: This chapter is based upon a reasonable method of analyzing flood hazards which is consistent with the standards established by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

3. National Flood Insurance Program Compliance: This chapter is adopted to comply with the rules and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program codified as 44 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 59-78, as amended, so as to maintain the community’s eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.

(C) Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize those losses described in Section 10-10-1(B)1 by provisions contained herein.

10-10-2: GENERAL PROVISIONS: (A) Land to Which Title Applies: This chapter shall apply to all lands within the jurisdiction of the City of Burnsville shown on the official zoning map and/or the attachments thereto as being located within the boundaries of the Floodway, Flood Fringe, and General Flood Plain Districts.

(B) Official Zoning Map: The official zoning map, together with all materials attached thereto is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter. The attached material shall include the Flood Insurance Study, Dakota County, Minnesota And Incorporated Areas, Volumes 1, 2, 3, and Flood Insurance Rate Map Panels therein numbered 27037C0060E, 27037C0065E, 27037C0070E, 27037C0080E, 27037C0090E, 27037C0177E, 27037C0179E, 27037C0181E, 27037C0182E, 27037C0183E, 27037C0184E, 27037C0201E, and 27037C0203E, all dated December 2, 2011 and prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The official zoning map shall be kept on file in the community development department.

(C) Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation: The regulatory flood protection elevation shall be an elevation no lower than one foot (1’) above the elevation of the regional flood plus any increase in flood elevation caused by encroachments on the flood plain that result from designation of a floodway.

CONDITIONAL USE: Means a specific type of structure or land use listed in the official control that may be allowed but only after an in-depth review procedure and with appropriate conditions or restrictions as provided in the official zoning controls or building codes and upon a finding that:

(D) Interpretation:

1. Certain conditions as detailed in the zoning ordinance exist.

1. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the city and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by state statutes.

2. The boundaries of the zoning districts shall be determined by scaling distances on the official zoning map. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundaries of the district as shown on the official zoning map, as for example where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions and there is a formal appeal of the decision of the city planner, the city council shall make the necessary interpretation. All decisions will be based on elevation on the regional (100-year) flood profile, the ground elevations that existed on the site at the time the city adopted its initial flood plain ordinance or on the date of the first National Flood Insurance Program map (March 29, 1974) showing the area within the 100-year flood plain if earlier, and other available technical data. Persons contesting the location of the district boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the Board of Adjustment and to submit technical evidence.

(E) Abrogation and Greater Restrictions: It is not intended by this chapter to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this chapter imposes greater restrictions, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail. All other ordinances inconsistent with this chapter are hereby repealed to the extent of the inconsistency only.

(F) Warning and Disclaimer of Liability: This chapter does not imply that areas outside the flood plain districts or land uses permitted within such districts will be free from flooding or flood damages. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the City of Burnsville or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made there under.

(G) Severability: If any section, clause, provision, or portion of this chapter is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this chapter shall not be affected thereby.

(H) Definitions: Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this chapter shall be interpreted so as to give them the same meaning as they have in common usage and so as to give this chapter its most reasonable application.

ACCESSORY USE OR STRUCTURE: A use or structure on the same lot with, and of a nature customarily incidental and subordinate to, the principle use or structure.

BASEMENT: Any area of a structure, including crawl spaces, having its floor or base subgrade (below ground level) on all four (4) sides, regardless of the depth of excavation below ground level. This definition of basement is for interpreting and administering only the provisions of this chapter dealing with flood plain regulations and is distinct from the definition that applies to the other chapters of this title.

2. The structure and/or land use conform to the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the existing neighborhood.

EQUAL DEGREE OF ENCROACHMENT: A method of determining the location of floodway boundaries so that flood plain lands on both sides of a stream are capable of conveying a proportionate share of flood flows.

FLOOD: A temporary increase in the flow or stage of a stream or in the stage of a wetland or lake that results in the inundation of normally dry areas.

FLOOD FREQUENCY: The frequency for which it is expected that a specific flood stage or discharge may be equaled or exceeded.

FLOOD FRINGE: That portion of the flood plain outside of the floodway. Flood fringe is synonymous with the term “floodway fringe” used in the Flood Insurance Study, Dakota County, Minnesota And Incorporated Areas.

FLOOD PLAIN: The beds proper and the areas adjoining a wetland, lake, or watercourse which have been or hereafter may be covered by the regional flood.

FLOODPROOFING: A combination of structural provisions, changes, or adjustments to properties and structures subject to flooding, primarily for the reduction or elimination of flood damages.

FLOODWAY: The bed of a wetland or lake and the channel of a watercourse and those portions of the adjoining flood plain which are reasonably required to carry or store the regional flood discharge.

LOWEST FLOOR: The lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement). An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, used solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage in an area other than a basement area, is not considered a building’s lowest floor.

MANUFACTURED HOME: A structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term “manufactured home” does not include the term “recreational vehicle.” Manufactured homes are also subject to title 10, chapter 18 R3D Manufactured Housing District of this code.

OBSTRUCTION: Any dam, wall, wharf, embankment, levee, dike, pile, abutment, projection, excavation, channel modification, culvert, building, wire, fence, stockpile, refuse, fill, structure, or matter in, along, across, or projecting into any channel, watercourse, or regulatory flood plain which may impede, retard, or change the direction of the flow of water, either in itself or by catching or collecting debris carried by such water.

PRINCIPLE USE or STRUCTURE: All uses or structures that are not accessory uses or structures.

that is built on a single chassis, is 400 square feet or less when measured at the largest horizontal projection, is designed to be self-propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck, and is designed primarily not fur use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use. For the purposes of this chapter, the term recreational vehicle shall be synonymous with the term travel trailer/travel vehicle. This definition is for interpreting and administering only the provisions of this chapter and is distinct from the definition, standards and requirements of title 6, chapter 10, Outside Storage within Residential Neighborhoods, of this code.

REGIONAL FLOOD: A flood which is representative of large floods known to have occurred generally in Minnesota and reasonably characteristic of what can be expected to occur on an average frequency in the magnitude of the 100year recurrence interval. Regional flood is synonymous with the term “base flood” used in the Flood Insurance Study.

STRUCTURE: Anything constructed or erected on the ground or attached to the ground or on-site utilities, including, but not limited to, buildings, factories, sheds, detached garages, cabins, manufactured homes, recreational vehicles not meeting the exemption criteria specified in subsection 10-10-9(B), and other similar items. Recreational vehicles are also subject to title 6, chapter 10, Outside Storage within Residential Neighborhoods, of this code.

SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE: Damage of any origin sustained by a structure where the cost of restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.

SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT: Within any consecutive three hundred sixty five (365) day period, any reconstruction, rehabilitation (including normal maintenance and repair), repair after damage, addition, or other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the structure before the “start of construction” of the improvement. This term includes structures that have incurred “substantial damage,” regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include: 1. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions.

VARIANCE: A modification of a specific permitted development standard required in an official control, including this chapter, to allow an alternative development standard not stated as acceptable in the official control, but only as applied to a particular property for the purpose of alleviating a practical difficulty or unique circumstance as defined and elaborated upon in chapter 4 (Definitions), 5 (Administration) and 8 (Environmental Overlay Districts) of this title. This definition of a variance is for interpreting and administering only the provisions of this chapter dealing with flood plain regulations and is distinct from the definition that applies to the other chapters of this title.

REACH: A hydraulic engineering term to describe a longitudinal segment of a stream or river influenced by a natural or manmade obstruction. In an urban area, the segment of a stream or river between two (2) consecutive bridge crossings would most typically constitute a reach.

4. Residential Uses: Lawns, gardens, parking areas and play areas.

(B) Standards for Floodway Permitted Uses: 1. The use shall have low flood damage potential.

2. The use shall not obstruct flood flows or increase flood elevations and shall not involve structures, fill, obstructions, excavations or storage of materials or equipment.

(C) Floodway Conditional and Interim Uses: The following open space uses which require only accessory structures, fill, storage of materials or equipment, grading and excavation, may be permitted in the Floodway District by conditional or interim use permit if allowed as such in the base zoning district and provided they comply with the provisions of this chapter.

1. Uses or structures accessory to the permitted conditional or interim uses in the Floodway District.

2. Extraction and storage of sand, gravel, salt, and other materials.

3. Marinas, boat rentals, docks, piers, wharves, and water control structures.

4. Railroads, streets, bridges, utility transmission lines, and pipelines.

5. Storage yards for equipment, machinery, or materials.

6. Placement of fill, dredge spoils, landfills authorized by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and construction of fences.

7. Recreational vehicles either on individual lots of record or in existing or new subdivisions or commercial or condominium type campgrounds, subject to the exemptions and provisions of subsection 10-10-9(B) of this chapter.

Recreational vehicles are also subject to title 6, chapter 10, Outside Storage within Residential Neighborhoods, of this code.

8. Structural works for flood control such as levees, dikes, and floodwalls constructed to any height where the intent is to protect individual structures, landfills, quarries, essential service structures, public utilities and related structures and levees or dikes where the intent is to protect agricultural crops for a frequency flood event equal to or less than the 10year frequency flood event.

1. All Uses. No structure (temporary or permanent), fill (including fill for roads and levees), deposit, obstruction, storage of materials or equipment, or other uses may be allowed as conditional or interim uses that will cause any increase in the stage of the 100-year or regional flood or cause an increase in flood damages in the reach or reaches affected.

2. All floodway conditional uses and interim uses shall be subject to the procedures and standards contained in section 10-10-10(H) of this chapter.

3. Fill: a. Fill, dredge spoil, excavation sites, salt storage, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency authorized landfills or other similar materials deposited or stored in the flood plain shall be protected against erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other acceptable method. b. Dredge spoil sites, sand and gravel operations, salt storage and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency authorized landfills shall not be allowed in the floodway unless a long-term site development plan which includes an erosion/sedimentation prevention element in the plan is submitted. c. As an alternative, and consistent with subsection (D)3b above, dredge spoil disposal, salt storage, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency authorized landfills and sand and gravel operations may allow temporary, on-site storage of fill or other materials which would have caused an increase to the stage of the 100-year or regional flood, but only after the city council has received and approved an appropriate plan which assures the removal of materials from the floodway based upon the flood warning time available. The city may require the applicant to provide a financial security or cash escrow in order to ensure compliance with the plan. The conditional or interim use permit allowing such use must be title registered with the property in the office of the County Recorder.

4. Accessory Structures: a. Accessory structures shall not be designed for human habitation. b. Accessory structures, if permitted, shall be constructed and placed on the building site so as to offer the minimum amount of obstruction to the flow of flood waters: (1) Whenever possible, structures shall be constructed with the longitudinal axis parallel to the direction of flood flow; and (2) So far as practicable, structures shall be placed approximately on the same flood flow lines as those of adjoining structures. c. Accessory structures shall be elevated on fill or structurally dry flood proofed in accordance with the FP-1 or FP-2 flood proofing classifications in the State Building Code. As an alternative, an accessory structure may be flood proofed to the FP-3 or FP-4 flood proofing classification in the State Building Code provided the accessory structure constitutes a minimal investment and does not exceed five hundred (500) square feet in size at its largest projection. If the accessory structure is a detached garage, it must be used solely for parking of vehicles and limited storage. All flood proofed accessory structures must meet the following additional standards:

9. Parking and loading areas that require filling, paving, grading or excavation.

(1) The structure must be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure and shall be designed to equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls;

(D) Standards for Floodway Conditional and Interim Uses:

(2) Any mechanical and utility equipment in the structure must be elevated to or

above the regulatory flood protection elevation or properly flood proofed; and (3) To allow for the equalization of hydrostatic pressure, there must be a minimum of two (2) “automatic” openings in the outside walls of the structure having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding. There must be openings on at least two (2) sides of the structure and the bottom of all openings must be no higher than one (1) foot above the lowest adjacent grade to the structure. Using human intervention to open a garage door prior to flooding will not satisfy this requirement for automatic openings.

5. Storage of Material and Equipment: a. The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, explosive, or potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited. b. Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed if readily removable from the area within the time available after a flood warning and in accordance with a plan approved by the city council. The city may require the applicant to provide a financial security or cash escrow in order to ensure compliance with the plan.

6. Structural Works for Flood Control: Structural works for flood control that will change the course, current, or cross section of protected wetlands or public waters shall be subject to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 103G. Community-wide structural works for flood control intended to remove areas from the regulatory flood plain shall not be allowed in the floodway.

7. A levee, dike, or floodwall constructed in the floodway shall not cause an increase to the 100-year or regional flood and the technical analysis must assume equal conveyance or storage loss on both sides of a stream.

10-10-5: FLOOD FRINGE DISTRICT (FF): (A) Permitted Uses: The following uses shall be permitted uses within the Flood Fringe District to the extent that they are allowed in the base zoning district. All permitted uses shall comply with the standards for Flood Fringe District “Permitted Uses” listed in section 10-10-5(B) and the “Standards for Flood Fringe Uses” listed in section 10-10-5(E).

1. Any use permitted in subsection 1010-4(A) 2. Any use permitted in the base zoning district.

(B) Standards for Flood Fringe Permitted Uses: 1. All structures, including accessory structures, must be elevated on fill so that the lowest floor, including the basement floor, is at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The finished fill elevation for structures shall be no lower than one foot (1’) below the regulatory flood protection elevation and the fill shall extend at such elevation at least fifteen feet (15’) beyond the outside limits of the structure erected thereon.

Lowest floor elevations shall also be subject to the Burnsville Water Resources Management Plan.

2. As an alternative to elevation on fill, accessory structures that constitute a minimal investment and that do not exceed five hundred (500) square feet at its largest projection may be internally flood proofed in accordance with subsection 10-10-4(D)4c.

3. The cumulative placement of fill where at any one time in excess of one thousand (1,000) cubic yards of fill is located on the parcel shall be allowable only as a conditional use, unless said fill is

specifically intended to elevate a structure in accordance with subsection 1010-5(B)1 above.

4. The storage of any materials or equipment shall be elevated on fill to the regulatory flood protection elevation.

5. The provisions of subsection 10-105(E) of this section shall apply.

(C) Flood Fringe Conditional and Interim Uses: The following uses may be permitted in the Flood Fringe District by conditional or interim use permit if allowed as such in the base zoning district.

1. Any use permitted in the base zoning district as either a conditional or interim use.

2. Any structure that is not elevated on fill or flood proofed in accordance with subsection 10-10-5(B)1 or 10-10-5(B)2 or any land use that does not comply with the standards in subsection 10-10-5(B)3 or 10-10-5(B)4. An application for a conditional use permit shall be subject to the standards and criteria and evaluation procedures specified in sections 10-105(D) and (E) and 10-10-10(H) of this chapter.

(D) Standards for Flood Fringe Conditional and Interim Uses: 1. Alternative elevation methods other than the use of fill may be utilized to elevate a structure’s lowest floor above the regulatory flood protection elevation.

These alternative methods may include the use of stilts, pilings, parallel walls, etc., or above-grade, enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or tuck-under garages. The base or floor of an enclosed area shall be considered abovegrade and not a structure’s basement or lowest floor if the enclosed area: a. is above-grade on at least one side of the structure; b. is designed to internally flood and is constructed with flood resistant materials; and c. is used solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage. The abovenoted alternative elevation methods are subject to the following additional standards: (1) Design and Certification: The structure’s design and as-built condition must be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect as being in compliance with the general design standards of the State Building Code and, specifically, that all electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities must be at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation or be designed to prevent flood water from entering or accumulating within these components during times of flooding.

(2) Specific Standards for Above-Grade, Enclosed Areas: Above-grade, fully enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or tuck-under garages must be designed to internally flood and the design plans must stipulate: (a) The minimum area of openings in the walls where internal flooding is to be used as a flood proofing technique.

There shall be a minimum of two (2) openings on at least two (2) sides of the structure and the bottom of all openings shall be ho higher than one foot (1’) above grade. The automatic openings shall have a minimum net area of not less than one (1) square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding unless a registered professional engineer or architect certifies that a smaller net area would suffice. The automatic openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of flood waters without any form of human interven-

tion; and (b) That the enclosed area will be designed of flood resistant materials in accordance with the FP-3 or FP-4 classifications in the State Building Code and shall be used solely for building access, parking of vehicles, or storage.

2. Basements, as defined by subsection 10-10-2(H) of this chapter shall be subject to the following: a. Residential basement construction shall not be allowed below the regulatory flood protection elevation. b. Nonresidential basements may be allowed below the regulatory flood protection elevation provided the basement is structurally dry flood proofed in accordance with subsection 10-10-5(D)3 of this section. c. Basement and all other low floor elevations shall also meet the requirements of the Burnsville Water Resources Management Plan.

3. All areas of non-residential structures including basements to be placed below the regulatory flood protection elevation shall be flood proofed in accordance with the structurally dry flood proofing classifications in the State Building Code.

Structurally dry flood proofing must meet the FP-1 or FP-2 flood proofing classification in the State Building Code and this shall require making the structure watertight with the walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of buoyancy. Structures flood proofed to the FP-3 or FP-4 classification shall not be permitted.

4. When at any one time more than one thousand (1,000) cubic yards of fill or other similar material is located on a parcel for such activities as on-site storage, landscaping, sand and gravel operations, landfills, roads, dredge spoil disposal, or construction of flood control works, an erosion/sedimentation control plan must be submitted. The plan must clearly specify methods to be used to stabilize the fill on site for a flood event at a minimum of the 100-year or regional flood event. The plan must be prepared and certified by a registered professional engineer or other qualified individual acceptable to the city. The plan may incorporate alternative procedures for removal of the material from the flood plain if adequate flood warning time exists.

5. Storage of Materials and Equipment: a. The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, explosive, or potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited. b. Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed by conditional use permit if readily removable from the area within the time available after a flood warning and in accordance with a plan approved by the city council. The city may require the applicant to provide a financial security or cash escrow in order to ensure compliance with the plan.

6. The provisions of subsection 10-105(E) of this section shall also apply.

(E) Standards for Flood Fringe Uses: 1. All new principal structures must have vehicular access at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation. Existing structures may be permitted to have vehicular access at an elevation not more than two feet (2’) below the regulatory flood protection elevation provided the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city fire marshal that emergency vehicle access can be accommodated during a flood.

LEGAL NOTICES requirement is granted, the city council must specify limitations on the period of use or occupancy of the structure for times of flooding and only after determining that adequate flood warning time and local flood emergency response procedures exist.

2. Business Uses: Accessory land uses, such as yards, railroad tracks, and parking lots may be at elevations lower than the flood protection elevation. However, a permit for such facilities to be used by the employees or the general public shall not be granted, in the absence of a flood warning system that provides adequate time for evacuation if the area is inundated to a depth and velocity such that when multiplying the depth (in feet) times velocity (in feet per second) the product number exceeds four (4) upon the occurrence of the regional flood.

3. Manufacturing and Industrial Uses: Measures shall be taken to minimize interference with normal plant operations especially for streams having protracted flood durations. Certain accessory land uses such as yards and parking lots may be at lower elevations subject to requirements set out in subsection 10-10-5(E)2 above. In considering permit applications, due consideration shall be given to the needs of an industry whose business requires that it be located in flood plain areas.

4. Fill shall be properly compacted and the slopes shall be properly protected by the use of riprap, vegetative cover or other acceptable method. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established criteria for removing the special flood hazard area designation for certain structures properly elevated on fill above the 100-year flood elevation; FEMA’s requirements incorporate specific fill compaction and side slope protection standards for multistructure or multi-lot developments.

These standards should be investigated prior to the initiation of site preparation if a change of special flood hazard area designation will be requested.

5. Flood plain developments shall not adversely affect the hydraulic capacity of the channel and adjoining flood plain of any tributary watercourse or drainage system where a floodway or other encroachment limit has not been specified on the Official Zoning Map. 6. Standards for recreational vehicles are contained in section 10-10-9(B).

Recreational vehicles are also subject to title 6, chapter 10, Outside Storage within Residential Neighborhoods, of the Burnsville City Code.

7. All manufactured homes must be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system that resists flotation, collapse, and lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include, but are not to be limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. This requirement is in addition to applicable state or local anchoring requirements for resisting wind forces.

10-10-6: GENERAL FLOOD PLAIN DISTRICT (GFP): (A) Permitted Uses: Permitted uses shall include those uses permitted by section 10-10-4(A) of this chapter to the extent that they are allowed in the base zoning district.

(B) Conditional and Interim Uses: All other uses than those listed in section 10-10-6(A) shall be subject to the Floodway/Flood Fringe evaluation criteria pursuant to section 10-10-6(C) below. Section 10-10-4 shall apply if the proposed use is in the Floodway District and section 10-10-5 shall apply if the proposed use is in the Flood Fringe District.

(C) Procedures for Floodway and Flood Fringe Determinations Within

the General Flood Plain District: 1. Upon receipt of an application for a permit or other approval within the General Flood Plain District, the applicant shall be required to furnish such of the following information as is deemed necessary by the city for the determination of the regulatory flood protection elevation and of whether the proposed use is within the Floodway or Flood Fringe District. a. A typical valley cross-section(s) showing the channel of the stream, elevation of land areas adjoining each side of the channel, cross-sectional areas to be occupied by the proposed development, and high water information. b. Plan (surface view) showing elevations or contours of the ground, pertinent structure, fill, or storage elevations; the size, location, and spatial arrangement of all proposed and existing structures on the site, and the location and elevation of streets. c. Photographs showing existing land uses and vegetation upstream and downstream, and soil types. d. Profile showing the slope of the bottom of the channel or flow line of the stream for at least five hundred feet (500’) in either direction from the proposed development.

2. The applicant shall submit one copy of the above information to a designated engineer or other expert person or agency for technical assistance in determining whether the proposed use is in the Floodway or Flood Fringe District and to determine the regulatory flood protection elevation. Procedures consistent with Minnesota Regulations 1983, parts 6120.5000 through 6120.6200 and 44 Code of Federal Regulations Part 65 shall be followed in this expert evaluation. The designated engineer or expert is strongly encouraged to discuss the proposed technical evaluation methodology with the respective Department of Natural Resources’ Area Hydrologist prior to commencing the analysis. The designated engineer or expert shall: a. Estimate the peak discharge of the regional flood. b. Calculate the water surface profile of the regional flood based upon hydraulic analysis of the stream channel and overbank areas. c. Compute the floodway necessary to convey or store the regional flood without increasing flood stages more than five-tenths foot (0.5’). A lesser stage increase than five-tenths foot (0.5’) shall be required if, as a result of the additional stage increase, increased flood damages would result. An equal degree of encroachment on both sides of the stream within the reach shall be assumed in computing floodway boundaries.

3. The technical evaluation and findings of the designated engineer or expert shall be presented to the city council.

The city council must formally accept the technical evaluation and the recommended Floodway and/or Flood Fringe District boundary or deny the permit application. The city council, prior to official action, may submit the application and all supporting data and analyses to FEMA, the Department of Natural Resources or the planning commission for review and comment. Once the Floodway and Flood Fringe District boundaries have been determined, the city council shall refer the matter to the city planner, who shall process the permit application consistent with the applicable provisions of section 10-10-4 and 1010-5 of this chapter.

All subdivisions shall have water and sewage disposal facilities that comply with provisions of this code and have road access both to the subdivision and to the individual building sites at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation. Subdivision of land with existing structures may be permitted to have vehicular access at an elevation not lower than two feet (2’) below the regulatory flood protection elevation provided the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city fire marshal that emergency vehicle access can be accommodated during a flood. If a variance to this requirement is granted, the city council must specify limitations on the period of use or occupancy of the structure for times of flooding and only after determining that adequate flood warning time and local flood emergency response procedures exist. For all subdivisions in the flood plain, the Floodway and Flood Fringe District boundaries, the regulatory flood protection elevation and the required elevation of all access roads shall be clearly labeled on all required subdivision drawings and platting documents.

2. New or replacement SSTS must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharges from the systems into flood waters and they shall not be subject to impairment or contamination during times of flooding. Any sewage treatment system designed in accordance with the state’s current statewide standards for SSTS shall be determined to be in compliance with this section.

a. Individual lots or parcels of record.

(B) Floodway/Flood Fringe Determinations in the General Flood Plain District: In the General Flood Plain District, applicants shall provide the information required in subsection 10-106(C) of this chapter to determine the 100-year flood elevation, the Floodway and Flood Fringe District boundaries, and the regulatory flood protection elevation for the subdivision site.

(C) Removal of Special Flood Hazard Area Designation: FEMA has established criteria for removing the special flood hazard area designation for certain structures properly elevated on fill above the 100-year flood elevation. FEMA’s requirements incorporate specific fill compaction and side slope protection standards for multi-structure or multi-lot developments. These standards should be investigated prior to the initiation of site preparation if a change of special flood hazard area designation will be requested.

(B) Nothing herein contained shall prevent the city from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. Such actions may include but are not limited to:

1. No such structure or use shall be expanded, changed, enlarged, or altered in a way which increases its nonconformity.

1. In responding to a suspected ordinance violation, the building official or designee and the city council may utilize the full array of enforcement actions available to them including but not limited to prosecution and fines, injunctions, after-the-fact permits, orders for corrective measures, or a request to the National Flood Insurance Program for denial of flood insurance availability to the guilty party. The city must act in good faith to enforce these official controls and to correct ordinance violations to the extent possible so as not to jeopardize its eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.

2. Any alteration or addition to a nonconforming structure or nonconforming use which would result in increasing the flood damage potential of that structure or use shall be protected to the regulatory flood protection elevation in accordance with any of the elevation on fill or flood proofing techniques (i.e., FP-1 through FP-4 flood proofing classifications) allowable in the State Building Code, except as further restricted in 1010-11(A)3 and 10-10-11(A)6 below.

2. Whenever the building official or designee reasonably believes that an ordinance violation has occurred or is occurring, he shall investigate the situation and document the nature and extent of the violation of the official control. As soon as is reasonably possible, this information will be submitted to the Department of Natural Resources and FEMA regional office along with the city’s plan of action to correct the violation to the degree possible.

3.The cost of all structural alterations or additions to any nonconforming structure over the life of the structure shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the structure unless the conditions of this section are satisfied. The cost of all structural alterations and additions must include all costs such as construction materials and a reasonable cost placed on all manpower or labor. If the cost of all previous and proposed alterations and additions exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the structure, then the structure must meet the standards of sections 10-10-4 or 1010-5 of this chapter for new structures depending upon whether the structure is in the Floodway or Flood Fringe District, respectively.

3. The building official or designee shall notify the suspected party of the requirements of this chapter and all other official controls and the nature and extent of the suspected violation of these controls. If the structure and/or use is under construction or development, the building official or designee may order the construction or development immediately halted until a proper permit or approval is granted by the city council. If the construction or development is already completed, then the building official or designee may either 1) issue an order identifying the corrective actions that must be made within a specified time period to bring the use or structure into compliance with the official controls, or 2) notify the responsible party to apply for an after-the-fact permit/development approval within a specified period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days.

(A) A structure or the use of a structure or premises which was lawful before the passage or amendment of this chapter but which is not in conformity with the provisions of this chapter may be continued subject to the following conditions.

4. If any nonconforming use is discontinued for twelve (12) consecutive months, any future use of the building premises shall conform to this chapter.

5. If any nonconforming use or structure is substantially damaged, as defined in section 10-10-2(H) of this chapter, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provision of this chapter.

The applicable provisions for establishing new uses or new structures in sections 10-10-4, 10-10-5 or 10-10-6 will apply depending upon whether the use or structures is in the Floodway, Flood Fringe or General Flood Plain District, respectively.

6. If a substantial improvement occurs, as defined in section 10-10-2(H) of this chapter, from any combination of a building addition to the outside dimensions of the existing building or a rehabilitation, reconstruction, alteration, or other improvement of the inside dimensions of an existing nonconforming building, then the building addition and the existing nonconforming building must meet the requirements of section 10-10-4 or 1010-5 of this chapter for new structures, depending upon whether the structure is in the Floodway or Flood Fringe District, respectively.

4. If the responsible party does not appropriately respond to the building official or designee within the specified period of time, each additional day that lapses shall constitute an additional violation of this chapter and shall be prosecuted accordingly. The building official or designee shall also upon the lapse of the specified response period notify the landowner to restore the land to the condition which existed prior to the violation of this chapter.

10-10-13: AMENDMENTS: The flood plain designation on the official zoning map shall not be removed from flood plain areas unless it can be shown that the designation is in error or that the area has been filled at or above the elevation of the regulatory flood protection elevation and is contiguous to lands outside the flood plain.

Full speed ahead for Panthers, Blaze Girls soccer teams play at state tourney this week

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS Lakeville North was the only undefeated team in the state Class AA girls soccer tournament, and the Panthers were rewarded with the No. 1 seed.

North took a 17-0-2 record into a state quarterfinal game against Anoka on Oct. 26, after this edition went to press.

The Panthers are one of three South Suburban Conference teams in the state tournament. Eastview won the Section 3AA title, while Burnsville (15-4) edged Edina 2-1 in overtime in the Section 2AA final.

Burnsville will play No. 2 seed Woodbury in a quarterfinal game at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28, at Park High School in Cottage Grove.

If Burnsville and Eastview win their quarterfinal games, it would set up an allSouth Suburban state semifinal game at 4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31, at the Metrodome.

The Lakeville North-Anoka winner will face Wayzata or Blaine in a semifinal game at 2 p.m. Monday. The Class AA girls championship game is 5:30 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 3, at the Metrodome.

Lakeville North junior forward Simone Kolander, her team’s leading scorer, was named to the Class AA AllState team Oct. 23. Taylor Brownrigg, a senior midfielder, received honorable mention.

Seniors Gracia Bonesho and Solena Cavalli-Singer also have helped lead Lakeville North to the state tournament for the third time in three years.

Panthers keep SSC football title to themselves

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY SUN NEWSPAPERS Lakeville North reached all of its regular-season goals, and the only thing still in dispute was who would bring the donuts to the next day’s film session.

Once that weighty matter was settled after the Panthers’ 21-3 victory at Prior Lake on Oct. 19, they could relax for a few days before cranking up for the section football playoffs.

“It’ll be great to have a few days off,” North head coach Brian Vossen said after the Panthers finished an undefeated (8-0) regular season. “The players need it, I need it and our coaches need it. I hate those Tuesday night section playoff games anyway.”

Because they received a first-round bye in the Class 5A, Section 1 playoffs, the North players were scheduled to return to practice Oct. 25, the same day many other teams were playing their postseason openers.

The seedings, however, also brought a surprise: Lakeville North might have to face crosstown rival Lakeville South in the section semifinals. Lakeville South, despite its 6-2 record, was seeded fifth and played at fourth-seeded Rochester Mayo in the quarterfinal round. North will play host to the South-Mayo winner at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

Lakeville North faced some uncertainty for a team that was 7-0 going into its regular-season finale. The Panthers had clinched at least a tie for

the South Suburban Conference championship, but if they lost to Prior Lake they would have to share the title with the Lakers. Also, there was a chance they wouldn’t get the first seed in Section 1 if they didn’t beat Prior Lake.

“It’s kind of like the UFC,” Vossen said. “You don’t want to leave it in the hands of the judges.”

Lakeville North scored on the third play of the game against Prior Lake when a Trey Heid pass deflected off a Lakers defensive back and into the hands of Panthers receiver Charlie Hayes, who took it the rest of the way for a 73-yard touchdown.

The Panthers never trailed, but it FOOTBALL: TO NEXT PAGE

Soccer FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Burnsville sophomore Alyssa Blahnik (4), shown in a section semifinal game against Prior Lake, scored in overtime against Edina to send the Blaze to the state girls soccer tournament.

against in the Section 1AA tournament, where North outscored three opponents.

Lakeville North went 7-0-2 to win the South Suburban Conference. The Panthers tied Eagan and Eastview.

Burnsville’s Alyssa Blahnik scored her 30th goal of the season in the second overtime of her team’s section final game against Edina. Blahnik, a sophomore forward, also was named to the All-State team last weekend.

Edina was leading the section title game with less than three minutes remaining in the second half before Kendra Drew scored to tie the game.

Senior captain Bailly Drayton picked up an assist on Blahnik’s game-winner.

Burnsville finished third in the South Suburban Conference.

Three of Burnsville’s four regular-season losses are to teams that qualified for the state tournament – Centennial, Eastview and Lakeville North.

Burnsville is making its 10th appearance in the state tournament but its first since 1996. Burnsville teams won state championships in 1992 and ’93.

Football FROM PREVIOUS PAGE wasn’t easy for them. Prior Lake rushed for 237 yards and ran 27 more plays. But when North needed a big play on defense, it was made.

Prior Lake’s offense lost three fumbles (the Lakers lost a fourth fumble on special teams), with North linebacker Mitch Johnson recovering two of them.

Johnson also tripped Prior Lake quarterback Nick Rooney for a 14-yard loss on a fourth-down play, forcing a possession change.

Late in the third quarter, Prior Lake drove inside the North 10-yard line, but Zach Creighton led a defensive charge that resulted in the Lakers losing a yard on fourth and three.

“Coach Vossen said they were going to get some first downs, and we were OK with that as long as we kept them out of the end zone,” North linebacker Alex Wood said. “We knew they wanted to run the ball at least 70 percent of the time, and we wanted to get them in situations where they had to pass.”

“They’re very similar to a team like Rosemount, which likes to run and has several different players who can run with it,” Vossen said. “The challenge for us was finding situations where we

(Photo by Mike Shaughnessy – Sun Newspapers)

could put seven or eight [defenders] in the box. We tried four or five different defenses and finally found one that we liked.”

Hayes, whose two receptions in the game went for touchdowns, scored on a 57-yard pass in the third quarter.

Brandon Morgan added a 4-yard scoring run in the fourth.

The Panthers won their first conference championship in football since 2003, when Lakeville still had one high school. Lakeville won the state largeschool championship the same year.

Lakeville South shared the Lake Conference championship in 2006.

LV South 43, Burnsville 7 The Cougars routed Burnsville on Oct. 19 to finish the regular season 6-2 and earn second place in the South Suburban Conference.

South’s reward? A fifth seed in a seven-team section. Lakeville South played at fourth-seeded Rochester Mayo on Oct. 25 in a Class 5A, Section 1 quarterfinal game. The winner will travel to No. 1 seed Lakeville North for a semifinal game at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

Lakeville North (8-0) and Owatonna (7-1) received the top two seeds.

Rochester John Marshall, Rochester Mayo and Lakeville South all were 6-2.

Here’s where it got sticky for Lakeville South: In an effort to standard-

ize how sections are seeded, the Minnesota State High School League gave schools a choice of three methods.

One of them – which was chosen by Class 5A, Section 1 football – is the Minnesota-Scores.net Quality Results Formula.

The QRF ranks teams based on number of victories, opposing teams’ enrollment classes (with greater weight given to victories against teams from larger classes) and the number of games opponents have won.

The last criterion probably didn’t help Lakeville South, which had only one victory over a team that finished the regular season with a winning record.

The Cougars dropped behind John Marshall and Mayo in the QRF ranking.

It means South probably will have to win three games on the road if it is to repeat as Section 1 champion.

The Cougars, who lost their previous two games by a combined 58-12, stopped the slide against Burnsville (2-6). Senior wide receiver Matt Heller caught 10 passes for 218 yards and four touchdowns. He also scored on a 15-yard run.

Devon Bzoskie also caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Mitchell Leidner, who completed 15 of 25 throws for 268 yards. Chris Moore gained 51 yards rushing on four carries.

Burnsville, which lost quarterback Dan Motl to a lacerated kidney in an Oct.

7 game against Eastview, struggled to move the ball. The Blaze broke the shutout in the fourth quarter, scoring on an 18-yard pass from Ben Baker to Brian VanderWoude.

Burnsville played at Eastview (3-5) in a Class 5A, Section 3 quarterfinal game Oct. 25, with the winner going to No. 1 seed Rosemount at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Kennedy 30, Apple Valley 16 Apple Valley finished the regular season 1-7 after losing to Bloomington Kennedy on Oct. 19. The same two teams met in the Class 5A, Section 3 quarterfinals Oct. 25, with the winner playing Prior Lake or Bloomington Jefferson at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

Apple Valley junior running back Dom McDew-Stauffer rushed for 105 yards on 11 carries and gave his team the lead in the Oct. 19 game with a 66yard touchdown run in the opening quarter.

Kennedy tied the game later in the first quarter before Apple Valley regained the lead on Tommy Singer’s 57yard touchdown pass to Grant Christian. Kennedy, however, scored the game’s final 23 points on three touchdowns and a safety.

Apple Valley’s Singer completed nine of 20 passes for 156 yards.

Notebook: LV South, Eagan volleyball teams get top 2 seeds

BY MIKE SHAUGHNESSY – SUN NEWSPAPERS South Suburban Conference cochampions Lakeville South and Eagan are the top two seeds in the Class 3A, Section 3 volleyball playoffs that started this week.

Lakeville South (23-1) closed the regular season on a 15-match winning streak. South’s five-set victory at Eagan on Oct. 18 left the Cougars and Wildcats tied for the SSC title; both were 8-1 in conference matches.

After losing to Lakeville South, Eagan (22-4) won five consecutive matches, including four at the Chaska Invitational, where the Wildcats finished first.

Defending state Class 3A champion Lakeville North (22-5) was seeded third in the section. Seeded fourth was Bloomington Jefferson, the team that lost to Lakeville North in five sets in the 2010 section championship match.

Lakeville South (first), Eagan (second), Lakeville North (fifth) and Jefferson (seventh) were in the top seven of last week’s state Class 3A rankings.

The top four seeds all received firstround byes and each will play host to a quarterfinal match at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28.

The fifth through 12th seeds played in first-round matches Oct. 26 (after this edition went to press). No. 8 seed Burnsville (10-13) played ninth-seeded Rosemount (13-13), with the winner going to Lakeville South for Friday’s quarterfinals.

Fifth-seeded Eastview (14-12) played Park of Cottage Grove in the first round, with Jefferson getting the winner in the quarterfinals.

Eagan faces Bloomington Kennedy or Simley on Friday night. No. 6 seed Apple Valley (15-11) played Holy Angels in the first round, with the winner facing Lakeville North in the quarterfinals.

Semifinal matches are 5:45 and 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 3, at the home of the highest remaining seed. The championship match is 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, at Simley High School in Inver Grove Heights.

State tennis The state Class AA girls tennis singles and doubles tournaments begin Thursday, Oct. 27, at the University of Minnesota Baseline Tennis Center.

South Suburban Conference players taking part include Lakeville South seniors Shelby Henderson and Erika Williams, who qualified for the doubles tournament. They are the first players

The South Suburban Conference champion Lakeville South girls cross country team will go for a Section 1AA title this week. The Cougars are ranked second in Class AA. (Submitted photo) from their school to advance to the state girls tourney.

Henderson and Williams will play Tacy Haws-Lay and Summer Brills of Mounds View in a first-round match at 10 a.m. Thursday.

Championship matches in singles and doubles will be 11:30 a.m. Friday.

Ben Saxton could qualify individually for state through the Section 1AA meet.

Burnsville and Apple Valley teams competed in the Section 3AA meet Oct. 26 at the University of Minnesota Golf Course.

Cougars undefeated

Lakeville South freshman Mark Paulauskas is a member of the Cougars boys cross country team, but last week he had a task to perform at a Minnesota Wild game at Xcel Energy Center.

Paulauskas and Andover junior Josh Ripley were there to do the “Let’s Play Hockey” call before the opening faceoff of the Wild’s game against Pittsburgh.

It was Ripley who stopped to assist Paulauskas when the Lakeville South runner was injured during the Apple Jack Invitational last month.

Paulauskas had been spiked on a remote section of the course, suffering a 20-stich cut in his leg. Ripley carried him until Lakeville South coaches arrived to help, then rejoined the race.

Lakeville South will try to maintain its unbeaten streak in girls cross country when it competes in the Section 1AA meet Thursday, Oct. 27, in Owatonna.

South is ranked second in the state behind Monticello and goes into the section meet as a heavy favorite. The Cougars are the only Section 1AA team in the top 12 of the state coaches association rankings.

Ninth-graders Kaytlyn Larson and Annie Brekken are South’s top-ranked runners. Larson, who’s sixth in the Class AA state rankings, finished second at the South Suburban Conference meet Oct. 14.

Owatonna, ranked 12th in Class AA, leads the field in the Section 1AA boys meet. Lakeville North and Lakeville South also are in the running for one of the top two spots in the section team competition.

Lakeville North’s Taylor Perkins and

Cross-training?

Eigner confirmed The Lakeville School Board last week confirmed Trent Eigner’s appointment at Lakeville North boys hockey coach.

Eigner replaces Randy Schmitz, whose contract was not renewed. The

school board tabled action on Eigner’s hiring once while Schmitz contested his dismissal.

Schmitz coached six Lakeville High School and Lakeville North teams to the state tournament since 2002. His 2010-11 Lakeville North team won the consolation title at the Class AA tourney, the best finish for any Lakeville boys team at state.

The program also had been hit hard by player defections, including defenseman Brady Skjei (now with the U.S. National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor, Mich.) and goalie Charlie Lindgren (playing Junior A hockey this season).

Schmitz also was head coach of Lakeville North’s softball team, and that position remained vacant at presstime.

Eigner, one of three brothers who played hockey for Rosemount High School, had been hired last summer as co-head coach of the Rosemount girls varsity team before pursuing the Lakeville North position.

He played college hockey at Bowling Green, then had a six-year professional career. He coached minor-league hockey in El Paso, Texas. He is one of the owners of the Pond, an ice rink, hockey training center and restaurant in Rosemount.

By: Ali Holman, co-owner of www.coreconditioningtraining.com I think we can all agree that eating is fun. Not only is it a way for us to socialize, reward ourselves and comfort ourselves, it also is the one area of fitness where people have the most trouble. Wouldn’t it be great to know that the choices you make are actually helping your fitness program? More importantly, wouldn’t it be even better to banish the word “diet” from your vocabulary?

Chances are, if you are embarking on a “diet”, it will have a beginning and an end.

The end is usually followed by slowly going back to old habits and ends you right back where you started. With our clients, we really encourage them to focus on a Lifestyle Change with room for “cheat meals” and realistic goals; which inevitably lead to lifelong results and without the emotional roller coaster of a diet.

Core/Conditioning Training’s List of “Fat Burning Foods”

eggs

low-fat dairy

Eggs are high in protein and low in calories.

You may have heard all the warnings about eggs and your health: opt for eggwhites for the low-cholesterol, fatburning effect. Eggs also contain the vitamin B-12, a great supplement for breaking down fat cells.

Studies show that women who eat low-fat dairy products (such as non-fat yogurt and low-fat milk) three to four times a day lost 70 percent more fat than low-dairy dieters.

beans

oatmeal

Beans are one of the best sources of protein, fiber and iron. Some of the best beans to ear are: • Navy Beans • White Beans • Kidney Beans • Lima Beans

Oatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which helps reduce blood cholesterol by flushing those bad digestive acids out of your system. Skip the flavored oatmeals - you lose out on all the health benefits. If you must sweeten your oatmeal, do so by adding fruit.

olive oil

lean meats

Certain fats are good for you, and your body needs them. Olive oil is one of those “good fats.” It helps you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down. One ounce of extra virgin olive oil contains about 85% of the daily value for monosaturated fat.

Search for lean meats - chicken (baked, broiled, grilled), fish and turkey - which are all high in protein. It is a good rule of thumb to consume at least one half-gram protein per pound of body weight each day. A chicken breast gets you well on your way, with about 22 grams of protein.

whole grains

interval training

Our body needs carbohydrates, despite what the fad diets tell you. Avoid processed carbohydrates such as white breads, bagles, pastas and white rice and look for whole grains that have not been processed and contain the fiber and minerals your body needs.

Interval training is defined as short, repeated bouts of intense exercise with minimal rest. You can burn major calories and get an all-over workout in less than 30 minutes. When you see people who are “cut,” chances ar they are partaking in interval training.
