Planning Commission Meeting - Janua,r�v 12�, 1972 PaSe 2
1. CONTINUED PUBLIC HF�ARING• PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT, P.S. �71-05, EDGEWATER
� GARDENS, PLAT 2. BY SAM TEI�LIN: Being a replat of Lots 1 through 9, Block 10,
Fridley Park Addition.
2. CONTINUED VACATION REQUEST: 5AM 'r�
in Block 10, Fridley Park Addition.
Mr. Templin was present.
71-08: To vacate zxisting alley
The Chairman �sid he recalled that the petition was continued to discuss a
possible land trade.
Referring to the land trade, Darrel Clark said the lots to the South of Mr.
Templin's plat (Lot 1, 89'x142', and Lot 2, 88'x142', Block 7, Edgewater Gardens)
were tax forfeit. These lota are being held by the County who plauned to u$e
them as a fill for excess dirt. The City would have to wait for Mr. 0'Bannon to
get a release of the lots from the County.
Mx. Templin said that the City had asked him to make a distinctly clear state-
tnent of what he would consider as a fair trade. He felt he could not trade one
lot for one forfeit lot because of the price he paid for the property. He had
called the Village of New Brighton regarding building on lots which were platted
before the present regulations and he was told they consider any plat platted
a long time ago with small lots, that they allow construction on parcels that
contain 75X of the present minimum requirements or 60 foot fr�ntage. He would like
to know the policy of the Citq of Fridley in this instance. Fridley Park Addition
� was platted in 1.886 with nine lots. If he could build on smaller lots such as
using three lota to make two lots, he could try to see how it would come out.
These lots would have a lot and block description and not by metes and bounds.
- /'1
Chairmaa Erickson suggested platting into six, rather than five, lots and
sWapping the North lot on an even basis could be considered. If Mr. Templin did
that, the Planning Commission would have to send the petition�back to the Plats �
Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommi.ttee and the Parks and Recreation Commission
to make a determination whether that North lot cut dawn 10 feet would be adequate
for park purposes.
Mr. Clark said that if the two tax forfeit lots were purchased, it would coat
the City somewhere near $5,000 before giving them to Mr. Templin. The assessments
oa each lot are approximately $2,000 in specials plus a posaible charge of $500.00
per lot by the County for relinquishing them.
� Chairman Erickeon said that the City would be losing about 10 feet on the
aecond proposal.
Aobert Swetz� 10 Rice Creek Way: The firet question was approximately how
much footage would the lots be from the corner. The aaswer was abQut the depth
oi two lots. Mr. Swetz said there was no playground for the chlldren in the area,
They have to go 20 blocka to get to a playgrouAd. As a citizen, he felt the City
should acquire as much laad as Dosaible before it is built upon. Once the houaes
are built, it 1s too late. He felt the 1ot abutting Locke Lake ahould be purchased
and tbat paxt of the lake can be filled up to the creek bed and make a larger park
axea. He �aid there were two to four childrea in every house in the area, and
4oame type of park should be developed far the children.
Planning Commi,s.sion Meeting - January 12, 1972 Pa�e 3
--�-..-.�.�
Mr. Schmedeke said that Mr. Templin has been very cooperative trying to come
� up with a solution of some type. It would seem the Parks and Recreation would
have to be the committee this problem should be sent to in order for them to see if
this is something they are interested in and give to the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee to study what kind of property would fit it.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said the land can be purchased as recourmended by the Parks &
Recreation and O.K,'d by Council, and sometimes the Council just simply handles
�his kiad of tzansaction which does happen on occasion.
Mr. Templin said that this request could be passed around for another year
and he still wouldn't know which way to go. He felt the City should tell him
what way he should work. He did not like to sit with the property. He did not
know whether or�not the City had the money to purchase the lots or were interested
in doing so, but he would like to start building right away.
Analyzing the financial end, Mr. Clark said it boils down to the fact that
Council would have to approve the transaction. For 10 feet, $5,000 is a pretty
expensive piece of ground. If the City does buy, we will then have to go along
with the 60 foot lots.
Chairman Erickson said that, generally speaking, the City has only allowed
6p foot lots in areas that have other 60 foot lots. He preferred the original
pxoposal over the second one because the lots in this area all exceed 60 feet.
Mr. Minish said that the Plats & Subdivisions-Stxeets & Utilities Subcommittee
� recomn►ended approval of the five lots and felt that 60 foot lots would not be
approved. The suggestion made by Darrel Clark of approving the request and red
tagging.Lot 1 would be workable and still allow the Parka & Recreation Commission
an opportunity to reconsider this. give the City time to consider, and a11ow Mr.
Templin to proceed.
Mr. Swetz felt the City should try to acquire as much land as possible for
paxk, and at the same time not hold up Mr. Teuiplin.
Mr. Fitzpatrick assured Mr. Swetz that the Parks & Recreation is interested
in having a park in this area and would cooperate.
�TION by Minish, seconded by Ftizpatrick, that the Planning Commission close
t.�e Public Hearing of the proposed Preliminary Plat, P.S. #71-05, Edgewater
Gardens Plat 2 by Sam Templin being a replat of Lots 1 through 9, Block 10, Fridley
Park Addition. Upon s voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimausly.
Mr. Schmedeke said tbat be felt Darrel`s suggestion probably wae the best. He
cauld not rzpeak. for I�.ia Subcommittee, just for bimself, and he felt 60 foot lots
would aot be approved.

existing alley in B1ock 10, Fridley Park Additio� lying South of the Easterly
extension of the North line of Lot 1, B1ock 10 of said Fridley Park Addition and
that the slley adjacent to Locke Park be reta�ned for paark use. Upon a voiee
vnte, all voting aye, the motion carried ur�ar�mously.
3. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARIb1G: REZONZNG RE tlEST ZQA �71-10 �D MURPHYt
Th�e Westerly Half of Lot 1, Block 1, 5pxing Valley pddition ta"6e rezoned
from G-1S to C-2 (general businesa areasj for a sma11 golf putting course.
Mr. and Mre. Lloyd Muxphy were preseat.
The layout of the golf putting cour$e, showing parking along Central Avenue
and the golf course to the East, was showa to the Coa�mission. The lot is 125 feet
North/South aad 150 feet deep.
Chairman Erickson stepped dowa from the chair because of coaflict of interest
and Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick took the chair.
Some of the past hiatory was reviewed by Darrel Clark. He eaid that in 1969
Mr. Walquiat asked for a lot split on Lo.t 18 to follow the same lines requested
in the preaent rezoning request and wa� propoeing to put in a Tastee Freeze.
Council approved the lot aplit contingent upon the dedication of the Easterly
34 feet of the lot for a po�sible street. This iot is 300 feet dee� and 1a adjacent
^ to a 16 foot alley. With the dedication of 34 feet, the right of way would be:
50 feet. The land is uader the same ownership. The owner has not dedicated the
34 feet at thie date. The City shou].d get that 34 feet now or thep never wi11.
This does not concern Mrs. Murphy's request.
Ferdinand F. Holzheu, 13�4 Misaissippi Street: Mr. Solzheu said he was next
door to this 1ot. He asked where the parkiag would be and if a fence would be put
up between the property and how high the fence would be. He would object strenu-
ouely if paper or bottles would be strawn on his property. In the paet he had
been keeping up Lot 18, aad he would like to see the property remain clean. He
woµld appxove the golf putting course i,f a fence, at leset 6 feet high, were put
up and tbe area kept clean.
M�OTIDN by Schmedeke, seconded by Zeglen, that the P1ann.tng Commission close
the public hearing of the Rezoning Request, ZOA N71-10, by Mrs. Lloyd Muxp�hy,
�hat the We�sterly Nalf of Lot 18, Block 1, Spring Va11ey Addition be rezoned from
G-1S to C-2 for a minjature golf putting course. Upon a voice vote, a11 votfng
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schmedeke called attention to the area saying it did not have enough square
_ footage. He wondered if there would be eome way the puttiag couras could be put
ia uader a Special Uae Permit rather than changiag the zoning because the Eaeterly
half of the lot wae R-1. Ae was afraid thay would be creating something they
aaight regret if they resoned to C-2. He tt�ougtit he would like the Ci�ty Attoarney
tp check to see if a Special Use Permit for the��.golf putting course could be used
uader a C-1 zoning.
�
Planning Co�ission Meeting - January 12, 1972 Page 5 �
MOTION by Minish, seconded by Schmedeke, that the Planning Commission table
^ the Rezoning Request, ZOA #71-10, by Mrs. Lloyd Murphy for the Westerly Half of
Lot 18, B1ock I, Spring valley Addition to be rezoned from C-1S to C-2 (general
business areas) for a sma11 golf putting course and ask the City Attorney whether
or not a Special Use Permit could be granted under C�15 zoning for this request,
and that the answer be ready for the meeting on January 26, 1972. Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Erickson resumed the chair.
4. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP �71-17, DON'S GULF SERVICE
STATION: Request for U-flaul rentals on Easterly 351 feet of Lot 12 and
Easterly 351 feet of the Southerly 20 feet of Lot 11, Auditor's Subdivision
#155 except that part taken for highway and street purposes, per Code Section
45.101, 6, 3-E, zoned C-2S.
5. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUI3ST FOR SPECIAL USB PERMIT, SP #71-18, RON'S GULF SERVICE
STATION: Request for D-Haul rentala on Lots 1 and 2, Block l, C.D. Hutchinson
Addition per Code Section 45.101, B, 3-E, zoned C-2.
The above items were considered separately, but were represented by the appli-
cants, Donald J. Michael�for SP �71-17 and Roaald J. Plomdon for SP #71-18, the
attorney for tJ-Haul Gerald Rum�el� Richard Farra and Charles Beck of the U-Haul
company.
^ MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Cornmission waive the
readinq of the Public Xearing notice for a Special Use Permit, SP #71-17, D�on's
Gu1f Service Station for U-Aaul rentals. Upon a voice vote, a11 vating aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
The drawing submitted of the area showing where the trailers and trucks would
be parked was studied. Mr. Rum�el said they have one agency in Fridley and one
in Columbia Heights. Contracts may be terminated any ti�ne for aonconformance of
contract. They require a drivers license and signed contract for the rental.
The iasurance is written into the contract and is 50� on trailers and $3.00 on
trucks. Only the large trailers are equipped with brakes and some of the older
10 foot models have brakes. Trucka are 1� tons. It is not necessary to have a
chauffeuz's license. They have no policy for checking into a person's driving
backgxound. When you haul your own material, a chauffeur's license ie not aeeded.
Fro�a a safety view poiat, U-Haul has a much lower accident ratio than the mational
average and by a big margin. We think it is �ainly becauae a person is not
familiar with the vehicle and will be more cautious and also he is hauling his
own material.
Mr. xumnel continued that in the area of the filling station, the U-Hau1 site
is about 1200 square feet which could aupport 3 trucks and 8 trailers. Their
policy is that a filling station ia given an inventory of trucke, and if trailera
are returned to a atation where they were not taken out, to keep the inventory
at the required level, the etation reports to the main office aad the trailer or
trallera are hauled awaq within a day or two. They have three field men who
chesck St. Paul and part of the auburbe and call on dealera to help with problema
^ of inventory. They do nqt want� accldenta with equipment.
Planning Commission Meeting - January 12, 1972 Page 6
Mr. Rummel said U-Haul feels the appearance of the dealer's station is most
� important. About 70X of the customers first become acquainted with U-Haul by
seeing them on the dealer's lot. It is of prime importance to keep the area
looking neat. The major repair shop is in Savage and the majority of the staff
is down there.
Chairman Erickson commented that the area for the trailers was smaller than
the plan the Commission had seen before. Mr. Rummael said th� area is 60 feet
long and 20 feet deep and is along the North line. This area could be marked of€
on blacktop pavement where the trailers were going to be parked. The equipment
would be parked double.
Mr. Clark said that policing the stations gets to be a headache. The permit
should be given on a yearly basis so that if there were any complaints, the permit
could be terminated at the time of the renewal.
Mr. Rum�el said, in reply to the questioning of the requests for two Gulf
Stations, the U-Haul people feel they are better off if they can have more locations
with smaller areas for the trailers and less equipment rather than fewer areas
and overloaded with equipment.
Mr. Rummel said the U-Haul may possibly ask for more stations to take the
trailers if the community grows and the needs increase. The ratio is one station
for every 10,000 to 12,000 people.
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Schmedeke, that the Planning Cornmission
^ close the public hearing fox a Special Use Permit, SP #�1-17, Don's Gu1f Service
Station for U-Haul rentals on the Easterly 351 feet of Lot 12 and Easterly 351
feet of the Southerly 20 feet of Lot 11, Auditor's Subdivzsion No. 155 except
that part taken for hiqhway and street purposes, per Code Section 45.101, 6, 3-E,
in a C-2S District. Upon a voice vote, all votinq aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
^
Item 5, Request for Special Use Permit by Ron's Gulf Service Station was taken
up at this time.
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Schtnedeke, that the Planning Commission
w�ive the reading of the Public Hearing Notice for a Special Use Permit, SP #71-18,
by Ron's Gu1f Service Station for U-Hau1 rentals. Upan a voice vote, a11 voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Clark explained that both of these hearings are basically in two parts.
The first part is for the continuous use as a filling station and the second is
the request for U-Haul rentals. There was some question whether or not we could
grant rentals on a station that was a non--conforming use. tiow we would be bringing
the atation under the Fridley Code as it reads today.
Mr. Ru�mmel said this is a large station site and there is plenty af room for
the trailers. The trailere would be along the tracks and 10 to 5 feet from the
North line being Osborne Road. The car wash no longer exists, but fihe building
is there. The small store is vacant. They could get a maximum of 4 trucks and
8 to 10 trailers as the trailer area ie a little deeper than Don's Gulf. He said
the number of agencies in the entire �in C�.ty area is 150.
�lannin$ Commi.ssion Meeting - January 12, 1�72 Page 7
� MOTION by Fitapatrick, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Commission close
� the Public Hearing of the request for a 5peciaZ Use Permit, SP #71-18, by Ron's
Gu1f Service 5tation for the rental of U-Haul trailers on Lots 1 and 2, BZock 1,
C. D. Nutchinson Addition per Code Section 45.101, B, 3-E, in a C-2 District.
Upon a voice vote, a1Z voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

^
Mr. Clark said there is a third station with U-Haul rentals on 73rd Avenue
and Central Avenue. They.have made application for a Special Use Permit, but
Che application was on his desk because of the pending lot split. He brought
this up if, perhaps, the Commission members might be considering how maay U-Haul
rentals should be in Fridley. This man is the pregent existing dealer, and has
been renting trailers for a number of years. The station was moved from 73rd
Avenue on Highway �65 to 73rd Avenue and Central Avenue. The owner of the station
did not have a permit because it was legal when he applied �or the II-Hau1 agency.
On this property there is a house owned by the same person owning the filling
station. The owner atill wants to live in the house after selling the station
and has a lot split pending. It is clearly covered in the new Ordinance that a
Special Use Permit can be issued under C-2 and C-2S zoning. (Ordinance No. 483)
Mr. Schmedeke referred to the service atation at 43rd Avenue aAd East River
Road where the Ca�issioa recently denied a request to sell pickup campers,
and wondered if they would not be inconsistaat if this applicatian were apgroved.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said one reaction to this request is that it is a service to
the public and thia ie the kind of place where you would expect to get trailers.
The requsst Mr. Schmedeke referred to was a request that did not have to be
eeeentially with a gasoline station.
Chairman Erickson said that something the Commission would have to take �tnto
consideration in all requests like this is the quality.of the Company and the
way they prapose to do business.
Mr. Minish said the request is for two different locations. He did not know
how many competitors U-Haul has. The competitor may consider �ridley a favoxable
location also.
Mr. Schmedeke said that here is another company coming into Fridley and he
could not see any tax base. He did not aee any advantage in this request to the
City of Fridley.
Mr. Rummel said the City does get its share of State taxes and U-Haul pays
a eubstantial tax to the State. Also, a sales tax is paid on every rental.
Mr. Rummel said that one of the prime concerns is servi�g the area and U-Haul
doer�a't feel they wre doing it now. The peak reatal season is from the lst of
May to the lat of November. The trailers move four or five times a week. In
winter they move only one or two times a week.
IYOR'ION by Zeglen, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission table ta
February 9, 1972 the request for a Special Use Permit, SP..N71-17, Don's Gulf
Service Stat�on and Special Use Permit, SP #71-18, Ron's Gulf Service Station.
Upon a voics vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

6. C4NTINUED LOT SPLIT REQUEST, L.S. 4�71-15, BY JOHN M. METCALFE: Lot 16,
except the Easterly 165 feet thereof, Revised Auditor's Subdivision No. 23.
For proposed second building site.
Mr. and Mrs. John Metcalfe were present.
Darrel Clark explained the existing house is located on the proposed lot
abutting the river. The water and sewer service does run through the middle o�
the second building site. They would have to run the new service up the drive-
way easement to the exieting house on the river. The new houae would be on that
part of I,ot 16 abutting Riverview Terrace,
Mr. Msetcal�e said the lot is 300 feet deep. The back doax of the nsw hause
would be near Riverview Terrace. It seea►ed like a waste to have a huge lot juat
astting there. The lota to the North are not develaped, but have been split
legally in a similar manner to his request. He wauld have ta havs aa eaeemen�
to come into his property from Riverview Terrace.
The documents for Riverview�Terrace have not been recorded at the County.
The contract purchaser had signed, but the fee owner did not.
Mr. Metcalfe said that the fee owner has probably about �1,9Q0 reuaaining a�i
the cantract for deed which he (Mr. Metcalfe) asaumed. Mr. Klin$enachmidt, hia
father-in-law, has the moat equity in the property and approves Che requea�.
/1
Mr. Mstcalfe co�ntinued that the triaagular piece of graund East of R�.vaxview
Terxace was cut off the original piece by the street. Nothing haa baen doae
about it, but at the time a survey ie made, they could inc�ud� it� with the
house East of Riverview Terrace.
Mx'. Clark said that at one time Riverview Terrace was not in and all house�
had to go cut to East River Road. The 12 foot easement goea ou� to �aaC River
Road. Tt�e farmer owner of Mz. Metcalfe'� houae kept the easement acroas the
Mattson property located on the East aide of Riverview Texx'ace.
�ir. Metcalfe said his intention wae that the existing gax�ge, attae�ed to
the house on the North side, be enclosed for a family room and he Would bui�.d a
aeparate detached garage o� the South eide� af the property.

SNOV�10� I L I NG I N N1E�4DOWlANDS PAR K�
Mr. F, Mrs. Bob Anderson, residents of the neighborhood near Meadowlands Park, were
present to request permission to operate snowmobiles in Meadowlands Park. Mr.
Anderson opened his discussion with the statements that Meadowlands Park, as it is
presently found, is "no good to anyone". He stated that three weeks prior to this
time, it had three feet of water standing in it in the playground area. The City
dug a trench and buried a drainage pipe, but in Mr. Anderson's opinion, with a two
inch rainfall, this one pipe couldn't possibly handle the situation. He stated that
mini-bikes run in there all summer and there is absolutely nothing there to hurt.
� Mr. Anderson said that if anyone or anything was to get hurt, it would be the children
who could fall in the ditch. He said that there would be no problem in staying away
from the skating rink in the West end of the Park. He said that in the nine or ten
yeaxs that he'd lived there, there had not been a single accident. Mr. Anderson
asked that they consider this because this, so called "swamp" is no good for anything
except a skating rink or snowmobiles. Mr. Anderson stated that the City Attorney, Mr.
Gibbs, had iristructed the Fridley Police, not to chase the snowmobilers out of the
Park unless there was a complaint from a private citizen in the area. Mr. Anderson
said that he was running on private property.and was told to get off by the Police.
He in turn went down to the Police Department and talked the situation over with them
and they in turn called Commissioner Olson. Mr. Olson said that he didn't know
anything about it, didn't know where the park was, and couldn't answer his questions.
Mr. Anderson said that this whole thing was Mr. Brown's idea. That he is.the one
who decides where snowmobiles can be operated and that the Commission merely goes
along with him.
Mr. Anderson stated that of all the people who live around Meadowlands Park, about
85 per cent of them own snowmobiles or mini bikes. In Mr. Anderson's opinion, the
mini bikes make a great de�l more noise than do the snowmobiles.
Mr. Stimmler asked Mr. Anderson if he felt that the area was large enough to open
up for the xesidents of Fridley. Mr. Anderson said that it was for the neighborhood.
Mx. Stimmler explained that if it was opened up for the neighborhood, that it was
also open to all residents of Fridley. Mr. Anderson said that he really didn't
feel that other people would pull their machines in on a trailer, dump them off,
and ride in such a small area. He pointed out that the terrain was such that you
� cannot drive very fast, and not large enough to make it even worth while. He
didn't feel that this would be a problem. As far as the neighbors are concerned,
it's really ideal because if the children have problems with the machines, the
�athers are close by and can either fix them, or pull them �pm� on a toboggan for
repair.

Mr. Stimmler asked if there would be problems with the residents who lived right on
the park, and the noise it would create? Mr. Anderson stated that h.e did not think
there would be a problem, because he didn't believe they would come within 200 feet
of the homes at any one time, because on the South side, there are big back yards,
there's a skating rink on the West end, which would be closest to the homes, there's
private property on the 68th Street side (North Side), and on the East side, a Mr.
Gerrety owns the property, and Mr. Gerrety has never complained about anything. The
snowmobiles £un across his back yard and he owns the property from 67th to 68th Street.
Mr. Anderson stated that as far as he knew, there had been no complaints from anyone
in the neighborhood. According to Mr. Anderson, the neighbors have agreed to do their
own policing.
Mr. Stimmler said that this was not a new idea. He pointed out that according to the
newspapers, the snowmobilers have pretty well pushed themselves out of the 'I�vin Cities.
Minneapolis and St. Paul are not permitting this and so the suburbs which do allow it
are drawing the people out of the City. Fridley offers North Park, Locke Park, Locke
Lake, and West Moore Lake, which are very large, nice areas for people to operate
snowmobiles. Mr. Stimmler feels that we have, probably, as many people from outside
the City, as residents, riding in Fridley, and with the other suburban areas tightening
up, if we open up any additional areas, we're going to have all of Brooklyn Center
and the other communities coming here to ride. Mr. Stimmler indicated that he lives
on the Mississippi River and as soo� as it freezes, the people from the other side of
of the River, cross and drive through the vacant lots across the street from his home
,r, and run the machines up and down the street. As a resident where they are riding,
this irritates him.
n
�
Mr. Anderson asked if Mr. Stimmler was familiar with the Meadowlands area? Mr. Stimmler
stated that he had previously lived in that area. Mr. Anderson asked if snowmobiles
came up in his yard and bothered him? Mr. Stimmler said that they didn't have snow-
mobiles at that time.
Mr. Anderson couldn't see where people would be very interested in bringing a machine
in on a trailer to ride over the rough ground and dodge the holes the children have
dug out in the summer.
Mr. Olson asked if Mr. Anderson was an employee of the City? Mr. Anderson stated that
he was. Mr. Olson stated that he felt that if we were going to offer an activity,
such as snowmobiling, that we should offer it to everyone, this meaning, that if
an area desired a place to ride snowmobiles and there was a place in their neighborhood
for this purpose, that we should provide such a place.
Mr. Fitzpatrick agreed that if a person was planning to put his snowmobile on a trailer
and pull it somewhere, it probably wouldn�t be to such a small area. Mr. Fitzpatrick
pointsd out that one of the reasons that limits had to be made, was that property, in
p�rticular, Park property, was being damaged.
Mx. Stimmler asked if the neighborhood couldn't ride in Locke Park? Mr. Anderson said
that the only way they could get into Locke Park was to go down to Highway 47 and make
the crossing of the creek. Otherwise, there is no way to get across the creek until
it freezes.
Mr. Olson pointed out that it isn't fair that some of the residents have snowmobile
privileges merely because they happen to live rtear one of the designated areas, while
others who would like to ride, can't, because of their location. Mr, Olson said that
we should either open up more areas, so that everyone can participate, or eliminate
the aetivity altogether.

Mr. and Mrs. Anderson.left the meeting before the discussion ended.
Mr. Stimmler asked Mx. Olson ta axplain his views in greater detail. Mr. Olsa�l said
that another �+xample pf th� woxk thi� Comm�s�ion is txying to do is found �.t th,e
Burlingt4n Northern Park. Mx. Olsor� �sked Mx. StimmYer for the reasqning an the
loc�tian of the Hockey rink in this area? Mr. Stimmler said that it was to s�xva
the people in this area. Mr. Olson �ointed out that this �s the exact r�ason that
we should a�en up additional snowmobiling areas. Mr� Stimmler said that he fslt
th� main reasan for not opening up these small areas to snowmabilexs is the number
of homes which are located so closa to the park and the noise which would result.
Mr. Olsan stated that we wouldn't hesitate to vote to abolish snowmabi�ing in Fridl�y
altogethex, but that as long as we have it, we should open up areas £ox a11 of thQ
citizens. Mr. Stimmlar asked Mx. Olson just what axeas he would sugg�st to open.
Mr. O�son stated that at present, he would recommend the opening of Meadawlands Park
�the unused poxtion), the West Moore Lake praperty, and tha Burlington Noxthex�n Park
si�ht. Mr. Qlsar� suggested that if tao many camplaints ars receiv�d, thqy ths
Commissic�n would have to repeal the order.
Mr. Stimmler asked for clari.ficat'ion of the age limits fox young snowmobilexS. It
wa� explained that a 12 year old can operate a snowmobil� only a£ter hs has camp].eted
the Snowm�abile Trailing Course. Then, he can operate it fairly freely, but is not
^ permittQd to cross major streets or intersections. A 14 year old is required to have
the same trai.ning course, but can cross the intersections. Of course, all ages oP
snowmobilers can crass major streets, but only at a controlled intersection, and
yielding to all other forms o£ traffic. Under 12 years of age, a child can operata
a snowmobil� or�ly on your awn private property, or with permission £rom the pr�,vaxe
property ownex.

WINTER SPQRTS DAY�
Mr. Brown informed the Commission that the date has been set for Winter Sports Day.
It wil.l be held at The Commons Park on January 29, 1972, The Jaycees are handling
this ev�ent and will take charge of the scheduling and publicity. They've scheduled
sams Saftball games, and will use orange Softballs. In years past, the weather has
be�n bad and even caused cancellation once or twice, but this year it is schedulad
early enough, that there should be no problems.
Hocic�r RuuES FoR 1972 ,
'f}�e Commissionexs received copies of the 1972 Hockey Rules. Mr. Stimmler, who is
alsa the Pxasident of the Hockey Association, explained that they are basically the
same as last year,
Mr, Brawn pointed out that one of the changes was to better define the penalty time.
'�he �ime does not stop until the puck has been dropped to resume play. In the past,
if, £or �ome rea�on, there is a delay in getting play resumed, the player feels his
penalty should end two minutes after he enters the penalty box. This m3sundexstanding
�hauld be cleared up this season. A copy of these rules will be posted on the bu�letin
boaxds in the warming houses.
Th�e Commissionexs agreed ta receive the Hockey Rules for the 1972 Seasor�.

Mr. Brown asked the Commission if the meeting date for 3arivary could be changed, due
tQ the fact that h�s would be ou� of town the week of Januarr 24th. The Commissionexs
a�re�d tp change the meeting date to Monday, January 31, 1972.

Mr. Wagar reopened the discussion of Snowmobiling at Meadowlands Park. He said that
the reasan he didn't second the Motion earlier, was that he knew there were a couple
af ladies who were upset, over by West Moore Lake, because of the damage the snowmobiles
were doing, but he feels that perhaps Mr. Anderson did have a valid request, in
Meadowlands. Mr. Wagar said that the park has been there as long as he has lived
in Fridley and it looks the same now as it did.then. He has lived in Fridley for
about 15 years and since we haven't had the funds to develop it, why not let them
usa the Park until we can get it developed?
Mr. Stimmler said that he felt that Mr. Anderson was representing a very small
portion of the xesidents of that area. He feels that the noise factox would be
too great. Mr. Stimmler felt that if there were a large number of residents who
desired to use the Park for snowmobiling; that more of them would be present. If
the room had been filled with residents requesting this, then he felt it might have
been a valid request.
Mr. Wagar suggested that the request be left open for the time being, or until all
of the Commissioners are present. Mr. Stimmler agreed and stated that he felt that
the residents would be out in force next time.
Mr. Brown pointed out that other Cities are beginning to clamp down on the snowmobilers.
Minneapolis has banned them completely, and they have many areas which could be used
for this purpose.
1'�
The Commission agreed to delay a Motion of any kind until they see if there is really
a desire on the part of the residents of the neighborhood to allow snowmobiling in
Meadowlands Park.

AVENUE NORTHEAST, FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY MC DONALDS CORP.,
221 NORTH LA SALLE STREET. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60601.)
Mr. Terrance G. (Terry) Mauer of Kraus-Anderson of St. Paul, and Mr.
Jim Kleinfelter oi McDonald Corp. were present to present the request.
� Mr. Mauer said the exterior would be changed to match the other McDonald
buildings in the Twin City Area. The exterior will be a combination of
red face brick and wood. The building will have an asphalt shingle roof
_ with light beam trim.
Mr. Klinefelter said the seating would extend the length of the addition
on both sides with the serving area all in front. There will be seating
area for approximately 100 people. The addition would take away four
parking spaces, leaving 61 existing parking spaces. The committee ques-
tioned if parking might be a problem. Mr. Kleinfelter said in their
Bloomington building they had seating for 104 people and 72 parking spaces
which was working out fine.
Mr. To�co asked about the facilites for the disposal of trash. Mr.
Klinefelter said they had a double chamber burner with a 15'x2A' concealed
dumpster. The seating area would be self-service and would be kept clean
by the employees. •
Mr."Zeglen said they had been told there had been complaints on the upkeep
of che fence on the rear of the property. Mr. Kleinfelter said they always
repaired the fence the few times there had been any damage to it. The
committee said Chey would like to have McDonald's install some type of
guard rail along the fence so cars and snow would not cause any damage.
The fence on the north side of the propex[y is 7 feet high. They wauld
,,., like the first 30 feet of this fence trimmed down to 3'� feet high. Mr.
Klinefelter said the City had requested this fence and it was the adjacent
businesses to the NorCh who would like to have it trimmed. The committee
felt that as McDonalds were requested by the City to install this fence
�he� could ask the adjacent neighbors to the north to share the expense
�
Building Standards-Design Control Meeting of January 13, 1972 Page 2
^ of trimming down the fence and if they didn't agree, the fence could
, remain as is.
There is at present a vapor mercury light on the rear of the building .
• for security lighting. So there would not be any complaints from the
residential area on this light shining on their property, the committee
asked if�during the remodeling when they were installing new lighting,
this light could be replaced with a light that would shine down, so
this complaint could be eliminated.
Mr. Muhich said the plans show an outside ladder for access to the
mechanical equipment on top of the building but the code calls for
an inside ladder, so the plans would have to be changed to conform
to the code.
MOTION by Tonco to recommend to the City Council, approval of the request
to remodel the exterior of the existing building and to construct an
addition•of 14 ft. to each side for inside seating with the option of �
the owner to use an alternate plan and add 14 ft, to only one side of
the building and have seating on one side only, with the following
st�pulations: . �
1. Install some type of guard rail along the fence on the rear
of the property. . ,
�"� 2. Check about trimming down the existing fence to 3� feet for
30 feet, along the north property line.
- 3. Install security lighting on addition and direct lighting away
from residential areas.
4. Install an inside ladder for access to roof top for mechanical
equipment. �
Seconded by White. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.

concrete curbing around all blacktopping. They will install aluminum
facing around the existing canopy and top of the building. Fibergl.ass
brick will be screwed on over the existing porcelain with the bottom of
the porcelain painted black, on the front of the building. The back
�tnd sides will have aluminum siding.
` The committee questioned the trash enclosure which is only thxee �eet

' screening as this was open to view from the service road. This area
must be maintained or other requirements would be made ao the �ity would

Pertains ta Mrs. I.loyd Murphy,
ZOA �71-10: Rezone from C-1S to C-2
for golf putting course.
Tlus Zetter is in repZy to your Ietter of January I3, I972.
In this letter you indicated that the PZanning Commission wouZd Zike a written
opinion regarding certain zoning requirements pertaining to C-2 propert� raithin
�� the City. .
.�
^
, ,s
SpecificalZy, �ou ask the question whether the PZanning Cammission may make a
reco�nendation to re-zoning from C-Z to C-2 i f the property does not contain the
minim�,un of 200 feet frontage and 25,000 square feet of area. I am of the opinion
that the P.I�ing Commission ma� reco�end to the Council that such a piece af=
propert� be re=zoned from C-1 to C-2. The recommendation should, however, contain
a statement to the effect that the property does not meet the minimvm requirements
as set forth in the Code and that a waiver of these requirements would be needed
a�ong with the re-zoning action. -
� 1 � _ k
You aZso ask whether the Planning Conm�ission m�� approve a special use permit �
which is permitted in C-2 and C-2S zoning if the property is presently zoned CY1.
I am of the opinion that this could not be done. That if the zoning ordinance'
permits certain uses of property in C-2 and C-ZS districts by special use permit and
the zoning ordinance does not state that the sam° use is permitted in C-Z districts
that the omissian is intentional and, therefore, not permitted.
I hope that this answers your questions.

'' Sincerely,�
