Mrs. Novak said that no purchase had been m�de. She was asked to identify her
�''� husband's sigaature on the application forn4, which ahe did. Inasmuch as Mre.
Navak did not understand the purpose of platting, Mr. Jensen explained that in the

right of way aloag the Esst line. They will �till be o�mmexs as they are today.

of all the owaere are required, confirming that platting does not mean a change
of ownerahip.

time. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Erickson cou�ented that he was particularly bothered by the fact that
the petitioaer has not made an attempt to complete the access road of the original
plat which leaves it mandatosy for the City to condeum the land to get a road in
there. The possibility is that the Novak's may not go alon� with this platting
if it is approved. He would like the two partiee present.

Mr. Deys brought the certificate of �urvey. The survey aho�ed a definite problem

by Council at June 2nd meeting.
Mr. and Mre. Roger Peterson and Mr. Harland Berry (contractor) were present.
^ Mr. Mittelstadt said, explaining the action of the Board of Appeals, this was
= a request for a apecial use permit to conatruct a two family dwelling in R-1
zoning with living quarters one on top of each other. The Code indicates that a
double bungalow, by specia� use permit, goes from the Board of Appeals to the
Plannin� Co�ission Meeting - June 11, 1969
Pa�e 6
Planni�g Co�ission and then to Gouncil. There are $1,000 in back taxes, and
r'� becauae of the hole on the lot, it would take about 1,000 yarde of fill at $1.00
a yard to fill it up. The floor of the basement ie much higher than the water
table. There could be a parking problem with renters in the basement. He
� ahould have a three car garage, as the neighborhood does not want cars standing
outeide. If the Board had O.K'd. a tusn around, this would have h�d to be made
in the front of the houae facing East River Road. Then there is the po�sibility
that the petitioner would not be the permanent ownera There could be deteriora-
tion with diffesent ownere. The neighboas, ho�ever, appreciate h�ving the hole
filled and would agree to the use.
Mx. Swanson said the actual house, for all appearance°� aake, would be a
regular single family house with a walkout to the rear. He had a petition from
all the people in the aurrounding neighborhood and no one was againat it.
MOTION by Mittleatadt, aeconded by Jensen, that the Planning Commission receive
the petition preaented by Roger Peterson with eleven aignatures approving the
rezoning request, dated June 11, 1969. Upon a voice vote, all voting �ye, the
motion carried unanimously.
The plans for the house were shown and discussed with the Planning Co�iesion
by Mr, Berry, the contractor. He explained the lot was given to Mrs. Petereon
as a gift. This put an entire different aspect to the initial expenae in getting
the lot ready for constructioa.
The Co�ission agreed that a turn around should be provided on the lot so that
,^ cars would not have to back onto East River Road, and that there should be a
three car garage.
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Co�ission recom-
mend approval of the special use permit by Roger L. Peterson for construction of
a two family dwelling provided that the petitioner makes provieion for a turn
around on the property so that autos may enter East River Road head on, rather
than backing on, and that a three car gagage be constructed as part of this
propoeal. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Mitteletadt aaked if there was no way the City can expect the owner, now
that he received a special use permit to operate an apartment within the confines
of R-1, that you can stipulate that if the original owner sells the property, it
reverts back to R-1? The Engineering Assiatant anewered that, as long as the
use remains.the same and the building ia not altered, the-use does not change.
9. VACATION REQUEST: SAV ��69-03, GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY CO,: Alley and street� in
Block 6, Berlin Addition.

Northern Railway are now discuesing the vacation and its effects upon the utility

Planniag C ��ion Meeting - June 11, 1969
P�ge 7
MOTION bq Fitzpatrick, seconded by Mittelstadt, that the Planning Co�iaeion
�''� reco�end approval of the rezoning request, ZOA 4�69-06, Eldon Schmedeke, of Lots 16
through 19, Block 12 and Lot 30, Block 21, Hyde Park Addition to be rezoned from
R-2 (limited multiple family dwellinge) to C-2 (general bueinesa areae). Upon a
voice vote, Fitzpatrick voting aye, Erickaon, Jensen, Mittelstadt voting nay, the
MOTION FAILED.
Mr. Jenaen eaid he wae concerned by the motion because of the effect of broader
consideratione that are already on the Council table. Part of one of their plans
iacludee acquisition of right of way from the Schmedeke property and he thought it
would be quite improper to rezone his property if the co�unity is going to end up
condemniag or acquiriag a right of way from him. It might be more proper to send
the rezoning request without a reconnnendation.
MOTION by Mittelstadt, seconded by Jenaen, that the Planning Co�ission pase on
to the Council without reco�endation, the rezoning request, ZOA �69-06, by Eldon
Schmedeke of Lots 16 through 19, Block 12, and Lot 30, Block 21, Hyde Park Addition
to be rezoned from R-2 {limited multiple family dwellings) to C-2 (general businesa
areas). Upon a voice vote, Erickeon, Jensen, Mittelatadt voting aye, Fitzpatrick
voting nay, the motion carried.
11. VACATION OF HORIZON DRIVE EAST OF Ti�iRD STREET: SAV �69-04, CITY OF FRIDLEY: 5100
and 5101 Horizon Drive (Lot 2, Block 9 and Lot 7, Block 4, Carlson's Su�nit Manoa
South Addition).
It was noted the City was making a parking lot at the owner's expense in exchange
,�''� for other benefits to the owner. The utility easement (sanitary sewer) was do�m
the middle of the parking lot. It was necessary that the owner petition for the
vacation and give an suthorization for the City to assess against hia property the
new improvemente.
The co�ent was that 51st Avenue is the croasing the children going�to the
elemeatary school uae, and it ia the only cro�aing between 49th and 53rd Avenues.
At one time, 51et Avenue was suggested for a pedestrian walkover. It wae felt
the City ehould get an agreement that, if the crossover bridge is built, it will
be allawed to �nchor on the parking lot. Also, for safety's sake, there should be
a aidewalk on the North edge of the parking lot because of the signals so that
the children would not be going in front of moving cars on the parking lots. The
sidewalke ahould have curba. The grade was high at Univeraity and low on 3rd Street
so that there would be some grading.
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Mittelstadt, that the Planning Coummission reco�end
approval of ZOA ,1�69-04, vacation of Horizon Drive East of Third Street by the City
of Fridley with the etipulation that a pedestrian walkway be provided between
3rd Street and T.H. �47 outside the limits of the proposed parking lot, construction
of said sidewalk to approximately wind up with the signalized crossing on T.H. �47,
and the City retaiaing the proper utility eaeement. Upon a voice vote, Jensen,
Erickeon and Mittelstadt voting aye, Fitzpatrick voting nay, the motion carried.
