APPROVE PLAATNING COMMISSION MINUTFS: OCTQBER 3, 1973
Mr. Lindblad said a couple of statements he made were left
out of the minutes. He said his statement that when it comes to
-funding special City projects, such as the trail system, the City
should try to fund it, and not request funding from the Federal,
Stai�e, or Caunty government; because he feels that for every dollar
the City receives this way, the citizens pay more than �he City
receives back in taxes. He also said he �aanted a statement in
the minutes that he was opposed to the trail system, especially
on residential streets, because lirniting the parking to one side
of the street could cause a hardship.

l. PUBLIC HEARING: A R�QUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #73-10
BY TRYGVE OLS�N: per F'ridley City Code, Section 45.051, 2, A,
to allaw construction of a second accessory building, a shed
to be used for the storage of tools, on Lot.4, Block l, River-�
wood Manor Addition, the same being 7145 Riverview Terrace N.E.
Mr. Trygve Olsen was present to present his request.
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning
Commission waive the reading of the Public Hearing notice on the
request for a Special Use Permit, SP #73-10, by Trygve 01sen. Upon
a voice vote, a11 voting a�e, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Clark gave.the plans submitted by Mr. Olsen to the
Inspectian Departm�nt to the Planning Commission to look at so
they could see what type of building Mr. Olsen wanted to build.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Olsen how. he intended to use this
building. Mr. Olsen said it was for storage of lawn equipment,
a boat, and a saw. ,
Mr. Harris asked if this building wo��d have electricity and
heat. Mr. Olsen said it would have electricity, but would not be heated.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked what the first �iccessory building was.
Mr. Clark said it was the attached garage. .
Mr. Lindblad asked if this building would have a cement floor.
Mr. Olsen said it would and it wouldn't have the pillars as shown
on the plan. Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Clark if this cement slab would
have to have footings for this size building. Mr. Clark said a
floating slab was approved by the State Code.
Mr. Clark said there were notices sent to the neighbors and
the City hadn't received any calls about this. He asked Mr. Olsen
if he had talked to any of his neighbors about this request. Mr.
Olsen said there wasn't any opposition from the neighbors.
Mr. Harris asked about the exterior of the building. Mr. Olsen
said it would be rough cedar. Hi.s home is stucco with rough cedar
trim. Mr. Harris said this building will blend in then.
Mr. Lindblad asked Mr. Olsen if he was going to construct this
^ ,building himself. Mr. Olsen said he was.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Olsen if he had a wood working hobby. Mr.
Olsen said he did. Mr. Harris said he hoped Mr. Olsen was not going
to operate a cabinet shop or similar business from this building. Mr.
Planning Commission Meeting - October 17, 1973 Page 3
Olsen said this building was not going to be used for any kind
^ of business.
Mr. Drigans said he noted on the survey that there was a
fence on part of, the lot. Mr. Olsen said that fence belonged
to his neighbor who has a swimming pool. Mr. Drigans said there
was no fence between the school property and Mr. Olsen's. Mr.
Olsen said the children were always supervised when they played
close to his property.
Mr. ritzpatrick said he thought this building might be an
attraction for children because of it's placement on the lot, but
if the children were always supervised this evidently would be no
problem.
� Mr. Harris asked i.f there were any drainage problems on this
lot. Mr. Clark said there wasn't.
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Lindblad, that the PZanning
Commission cZose the Public Hearing on the request for a Special
Use Permit, SP #73-J0, by Trygve Olsen. Upon a voice vote, a1.Z
voting aye, the motzon carried unanimousZ�.
Mr. Harris said he had no objection to this request. It
was a nice looking building. He said he thought a stipulation
should be made that there wotxld be no business operated from this
� structure.
MOTION by Lindblad, seconded by Drigans, that the P.Zanning
Commission recommer•d to the Council approval of the request for
a SpeciaZ Use Permit, SP #73-Z0, by Trygve O.Zsen, per Fridley
City Code, Section 45.051, 2, A, to a11ow construction of a second

Riverview Terrace N.E., with the stipulation that no business be
operated from this structure. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye,
the motion carried unanimously.
2. COAITIN.UED: REVIEW OF CREEK AND RIVER PRESERVATION MANAGEMENT
ORDINANCE
Mr. Jerrold Boardman made the presentation.
Mr. Boardman said tahe main purpose of this ordinance was to
meet the•State requirement to have a flood management program. This
is r�quired of all cities that have had any type of flooding. The
Department of Natural Resources hasn't gotten around to the cities
that haven't set these up, but they will.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he thought this legislation was passed
/'� .
in 1971.
�
Mr. Boardman said we designated the areas that were inundated
by flaods according to the Army Corp. of Engineer's report. The
/'\
�
Planning Com mission Meeting - October 17, 1973 Page 4
level of flood control that they used was the 100 year flood level.
We have laid out the 100 year flood level on the City map in red
and blue.
There were two ways we could have gorie in setting up this
program. We could have had it all in one zane and then we would
have to use the most restrictive regulations which wouldn't have
allowed any building at all except for some low damage potential
buildings that would not be inhabit.ed. Otherwise we could set it
up in two different districts, as we have done. One district
is the flood plain, shown in red which is CRP-2, where you can
have buildings for habita�.ion if they are protected to a certain
elevation, or if they build above a certain elevation. The other
district is the flood way, which is shown in blue and is CRP-1, in
which you can't do any building at all for habitation.

of Natural Resources says yc�u can build in

This is limited to park shelters, etc., and
no�t used for occupancy and have 1ow potential
Air. Fitzpatrick asked about Rice Creek. Mr. Boardman said it
was a matter of conveni.ence of zoning this flood way. It does not
affect the existing home sites along the CreeJc. Mr. Fitzpatrick
asked about the small area of red along the Creek. Mr. Boardman
said this was because there was presently a home in this area, and
�he Department of Natural Resources said the elevations could possibly
be raised to over .5 feet without affecting the flood damage
upstream because.of Locke Park�. Mr. Drigans said this special
house along Rice Creek is very close to the Creek. Is any action
taken by adoption of this ordinance going to preclude him from
selling his house. He also wondered if the homeowner would get
the value out of this house or qualify for a loan. Mr. Boardman
said it could affect the value of his property, but with the proper
flood management program and the purchase of flood insurance, the
F.H.A, is supposed to mortgage homes in the flood plain area.
Mr. Harris asked about the Riverview Heights area. Mr. Boardman
said they�would have to get a special use permit and any construction
would have to be according to the restrictions set by the Department
of Natural Resources.
Mr. Fitz.patrick asked what would happen if someone had to
'rebuild in this�area. Mr. Boardznan said it would be like any other
non-conforming use. If it was over 50°s damaged or they wanted to mak.e
any additions or alterations, they would have to builc� according
to these specifications. .
Mr. Lindblad asked how the 100 year flood level was determined.
^ Mr. Boardman said they gather all the information in a watershed
area and determine what the maximum capacity of this watershed is
if all conditions happen at one time. They feed this information
into a computer to determine the frequency and level of the maximum
flood and from this they can break it down to the level of a 100
year flood.
Planning Commission Meeting - October 17, 1973 Page 5
^ Mr. Clark said this ordinance has been sent to the State and
they have said they �vill accept it.
Mr. Boardman said this ordinance was modeled somewhat from the
ordinance Edina has. He also studied St. Louis Park's ordinance.
The State regulations were also incorporated.
Mr. Lindblad asked if there were plans or a program to discourage
building in the areas designated in red, and utilize the land for
parks, for instance, if they were needed in the area.
Mr. Boardman said if the red areas were filled up to 2 foot
abave the 100 year flood level, this would be buildable land.
Mr. Cl�rk said that if the State came in and set up the rules
for this type of area, they would be more restrictive.
Mr. Boardman said an� variance from the regulations would also
have to be approved by the Department of Natural Resources.
Mr. Drigans asked that where it states that.these variances
or special use permits must be approved by all govening bodies,
which are the Department of Natural Resources, the Rice Creek
Watershed and the City, what would happen if there was a conflict.
Two governing bodies cauld agree and one disagree. Mr. Boardman
� said the City would have the final authority.
Mr. Fitzpatrzck said if the City granted a variance, this would
be reviewed by the Department of Natural Resources.
Mr. Boardman said the way the ordinance reads is that 10 days from
the time a request is received for a variance, this is to be sent to
the Department of Natural Resources.
Mr. Drigans said if someone wants to build in this area with a
variance and they get approval from the State, but not the Council,
what happens? Mr. Boardman said they cannot build then. The City
has the final approval.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he anticipated that there would be a lot
of questions at the Public Hearing on the resale of homes in the
flood plain and how they would be financed.
Mr., Drigans asked Mr. Boardman to explain.the difference in
the two districts.
Mr. Boardman said the CRP-1 was the most restrictive. It permits
only uses having a low flood damage potential. The structures are
not far human habitation, are firmly anchored to prevent floatation,
and allows any accessory building that is not more than 150 square
� � feet. All �ermitted structures in this zone, except for public uses,
require a special use permit. Structures for public use require
approval of the Council and all governing bodies.
n
Planning Commission Meeting - October 17, 1973 Page 6
Mr. Boardman said these districts are only overlay districts.
Maybe only part of a lot falls into these districts. The part of
the lot that is not �n the district can be built upon according
to the regular zoning regulations. He said that we need to locate
the lines in the field and draw a profile. The elevations have to
be shown at each point where there was flooding and this has to
be shown specifically on the zoning map.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said then this is actually double zoning ,
in the areas affected by flood.
Mr. Harris asked if someone lived along the river and wanted
to put in a dock, what the restrictions would be. Mr. Boardman said
this would be a permitted use, but it would have to be firmly anchored.
Mr. Clark said this would require a Special Use Permit.
Mr. Harris asked if property along a waterway had
problem when the ice went out, and it could be repaired
would this require a Special Use Permit? Mr. Boardman
fill requires a Special Use Permi_t, but whether repair

Mr. Lang�nfeld, Chairman of the Environmental Quality Control
^ Commission, asked if over a period of years, due to ei:osion, the
flood level could change and how would this be handled. Mr. Boardman
said any change in the flood level can be handled by Council amending
the profile.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that when Fridley sets up this type of
ordinance, much of the debris is going to come from the North af
Fridley. Mr. Boardman said that every community that borders on a
CrePk or River will have to set up controls.
Mr. Harris asked about trees along a waterway. These are not
included in this ordinance. What if someone removed the trees from
the bank. Mr. Boardman said you wouldn't be encreasing the flood
pctential. Mr. Harris said if the trees were removed, through erosion,
the bank could change. Mr. Boardman said this could cause a faster
flow and there could be more of an erosion problem. There are erosion
control measures. Mr. Harris said he thought there should be something
in this ordinance about preserving existing conditions in the CRP-1
district.
Mr. Boardman said we have district uses for buildings, and the
ordinance says that vegetation must be protected during new con-
struction or any alterations or additions. We have nothing that
pertains to existing pro��erty. .
/1 � Chairman Fitzpatrick said he thought the Commission would be
prepared to answer any questions on the ordinance, but not on
financing homes for resale. Iie asked if there would be anyone
in authority on this who could be present at the Public Hearing.
Mr. Boardman said he could check with the F.H�.A. but they have
said they would finance homes that are covered in a management
Planning Commission Meeting - October 17, 1973 Page 7
^ program and have flood insurance. Mr. Fitzpatrick said at the
present time, it is difficult to get financing even in a very
desirable location, so he could see where people would be concerned
about financing in this area. Mr. Clark said this ordinance will
allow them to protect their investment with flood insurance.
�
Mr. Drigans asked if there were homes in the red and blue
areas. Mr. Boardman said there were a lot of homes in the red area.
This area can be filled. The blu2 areas only cover portions of lots,
and the structures are out of the flood way, except the one lot
shown in the flood plain in red, along Rice Creek.
Mr. Lindblad asked what happened if one of these
damaged less than 500. Mr. Boardman said it could be

would require a Special Use Permit.
homes were

or additions
Mr. Langenfeld said he thought the ordiance was misnamed when
it was called Creek & River Preservation Management. He didn't
see there was much protection for the environment. Mr. Boardman
said it does pertai�n to fill and land alteration. Mr. Fitzpatrick
said tY�ere could also be damage to the rive�, if structures were
torn out by a flood and went in the river. Mr. Clark said the
reason this was not called a flood ordiance was because there was
a lot of resistaizce to the conotation of the name. We tried to
come up with a name that did not have 'flood' in it. Mr. Fitzpatrick
said that when the.Planning Commission had hearings on flood insurance,
which would be very beneficial to the area, people were still afraid
of the implications of having their proper.ty put in a"flood area".
Mr. Lindblad asked Mr. Boardman if theoredically they could
elimate the red area with fill? Mr. Boardman said they could if
in final review by the Department of Natural Resources the flood
plain area as set up by the City is acceptable.
Mr. Drigans said that people will come to the Public Hearing
and want to know how this ordinance is going to affect them. Chairman
Fitzpatrick said he thought there should be someone present at the
hearinqs that can answer these questions.
Mr. Harris asked what happened when there was a flood and there
were wash-outs on property that needed immediate action. Mr. Clark
said that if it was him, he would fill, and ask questions later, but
this point could be checked on also.
Mr. Drigans said there was reference to the zoning administrator.
Who would be the zoning administrator? Mr. Clark said it would be
the City Engineer. .
Mr. Drigans asked why variances to this ordinance would be
�� • heard by the Planning Commission rather than the Board of Appeals.
Mr. Clark said it was because the request for a Special Use Permit
and a variance would most generally come together, and because any
variances from this ordinance would be very complicated variances.
Mr. Boardman said any request for a variance has to be sent to the
Commissioner and the Department of Natural Resources 10 days prior
�
Planning Commission Meeting - October 17, 1973 Page 8
to the Planning Commission meeting and any approval of a variance
or special use permit must be sent to them for review.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said we are only reviewing this ordinance
before the Public Hearing. I think one thing that has come out of
this discussion is that we would li3ce as much resource personal
as possible at the Public Hearing.
Mr. Lindblad said he thought everyone should make every effort
to call this the Creek and River Preservation Management Ordinance
instead of a flood plain ordinance at the Public Hearing. ,
Mr. Clark said if any membezs of the Planning Commission wanted
any informa�tion or anything that pertains to this ordinance before
the Pub�.ic Hearing to give the staff a call.
3. PRESENTATION BY GENERAL CHEESENTAN ON THE ARMORY PROPOSAL
Postponed because of a conflict of dates, rescheduled for
November 7, 1973, as stated in memo from Paul Brown dated October
12, 1973.
4. 5�:���U�SION �N BUILDING�HEIGHTS IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE
Mr. Lindblad said he had been at the Council meeting on
� October 15th and in t.he discussion on the Unity Medical Center
there was a questian on how many stories this building could
have. Mr. Clark said that because it was in R-1 zoning, it could
� only have three floors. Mr. Fitzpatrick sai.d he thought the
hospital was hiqher than 35 feet. Mr. Clark said that maybe
with the ba�ement it was, but it was three floors in front
of the building.
Mr. Lindblad asked how high a building could be in Fridley.
Mr. Clarks said that in an industrial zone it could be 65 feet.
He said he thought a grain elevator for Minnesota Linseed was
probably about 125 feet but this was built before our present
zoning laws were in effect. Mr. Lindblad questions if there
would ever be any high rises in Fridley with the restriction
of 6 stories on buildings. Mr. Clark said they could go for
a variance for a high rise.
Mr. Harris said he thought the 6 story restriction was put
on for fire protection. Mr. Clark said the fire department has
a 100 foot ladder now. Mr. Harris said another consideration
would be that the City water tower was only 145 feet high.
Mr. Lindblad said the reason he had brought this up was because
he thought the area along the river, South of I.694, was a good
area for high rise offices or apartments. Mr. Clark said it
^ would be a good area. Mr. Harris said no one has been discouraged
about building this type of high rise.
�
Plannin Commission Meeting - October 17, 1973 Page 9
5. WALL CORPORATION
Mr. Drigans said that he noted in the "Action Needed" notes of
the City Council meeting of October 15, 1973 that there was a special
meeting being held to determine the feasibility of change of plans
by the Wall Corporation.
Mr. Clark explained some of the changes the Wall Corporation
would like considered.
In the general discussion that followed, it was felt that
the Planning Cornmission and the Board of Appeals had made recommenda-.�..
tions on what �aas supposed to be the final plan of the Wall Corpor-
tion, and if there were going ta be chanqes in this plan, they
would like to know what these changes are.
MOTION by Lindblad, seconded b�� Harris, that the Planning
Commission request a joint- meeting with the City Council to discuss
the proposed change of plan by the Wa11 Corporation. Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, the mation carried unanimously.
6. FRIDLEY NEWSL�TTER
Mr. Lindblad said he vaas very happy to see the
it to the homeowners attention that garbage cans on
^ prohibited. He �aid it was really an eyesore to go
and see garbage cans in the front boulevard of every
article calling
baulevards are
down a street
house.
Mr. Clark said this started in the winter of 1965 when due to
so much snow, the g�rbage haulers came to the City and said they
were losing money on their pick-ups. The Council gave permission
�or that or.e winter for garbage �cansto be moved close to the street
for pick-up. People got in the habit of this and the practice has
continued, mostly because he thinks people thought they were doing
the right thing. He said all garbage cantainers should be kept out
of view from the street, but if you have non-qarbage items for pick-up
these should be put at curb-side.
Mr. Lindblad said he thought this type of article should be
followed up in the newspaper and subsequent newsletters.
Mr. Clark said the S.A.C. charges were in this same newsletter and
also the regulations pertaining to blind intersections. He said
there were other things like this that can be improved by making
people aware of the ordinances. He said most people will comply
on their own, if the violations are brought to their attention.
Chairman Fitzpatrick adjourned the meeting at 10:15 P.M.

and Council and received all appr.ovals for ttle vari�nces, site plan, etc• �'»a
started construction about a+aeek ago. D. 1V.. Harstad lias gone thr.ou^h 13����i'�i of
Appeals and received approval on the variances,need�d. The reason £�r a,f���nt site
is to cxeate 1 better looking buildiilg, better parking and side yarcls.
The building tivill si�C from 5 to 6 feet lo�+rer thzn Paco, and �;i12 bU ����il5trl�cted

bfr. Johnson said :his ieas needed as they liad to prcavicie a sloped side�va.lk for the
llandicapped to meet State Building Code. and therefore could not level the land
any more. �ir. Lind'nlad said if �this wall �vas o��er tliree feet a guardrail t��ill
have to t�e provided. I•Ir. Johnson said }ie believed it tvas under three feet.
�Ir. Boardman asked about the sidecaalk t�etween the rear of the buildii�g and
the parking stalls. blr. Jo}�nson said it wi.11 be taken out and the Board of Appeals
said an atta.c}led bumper guard siiould be placed on the building. t�ir. Johnson said
he agreed about some type of bumper guard, but felt an attached bumper guard ��'oulcl
be hazurdous to the building. The Board rnembers agreed.
I�ir. Tonco suggested tihey use a 6" x 6" raooden post attached to the building
and attach the steel r��ils to the posts. This woulci direct the impaci fxam the
cax to the pests and not the building. Tiiis procedure was followed on the Paco
t�9asonr.y buildin�. A4r. Johnson and the Board felt this would solve the problem.
11r. Lindblad noted that all • curbino, tilacktopping and radii }iad met cocle
as slio�-.n on thc plans. He asked about refuse and security lights. �Ir. Johnson
said all refuse is inside. !ie said he does ha.ve a plan ior the lights, �ut did
not have it �,7ith hir:i tonight. He said the light plan is very close ta Paco
� r4asonry's plan.
I�4r.. Boardman asked about the ctrainabe p�an. btr. Jcl�nson said he did not
believe t}iere �•�ould be a prablem as the land slopes naturally south and ta�aards
Aiain Street. He did ask that the City stake the alley so they can l:eep the correct
elevation for this natural drain�ge and not cause a drainage p�oblem.

and i,fr. Hendxickson, representatives from Fullerton I�ietals, �:�ere in the auclience.
Mr. Bernstein explained the additi.on. He said the only� direction they can
go is out toj�ards Rlai.n Street. �l north, south or second story addition ti�aould
be imPxactical for the ofiice employees, an incvard expansion ti•�arehouse area)
titi=ould handicap rrarehouse space and personal, plus the structural design. They
have gone to Board of Appeals for. the front yar.d expansion varia.nce and this
was granted. i�Ir. Bert�stein felt this front addiiion ��Tould be an advantabe to the
commercial area (�i-2) as �vell as the resider�tial area across hiain Street. There
�aill be new landscapina and berming in the front. Front parking will be r�o�:'ed
� off of� P,1ain Stxeet (48 :foot to 76 foo� setba.ck) and more parking ��il I be provided
to the rear of the building. iie said the entire front parking and drive��ray area�
will have new poured concr.ete curbing and blackta�pinb.
�
Air. Simoneau asked what type of material ��ould be used for the outside of
the building. P•ir. Bexnste:cnsaid it iti�ill be,brick, as closely matched to che
, present structure as possible, an abundant mansard roof and front �aindows. The
entxance on the present buildino i,�ill still be used.
hir. Tonco asked �uhat type of shakes ��ould be �sed on the mansard roof.
hir. Bernstein said he ��asn't sure of the exact type, but they iti�ould rreet code
standards.
The Boaxd also asked why the parking lot ►aas placed so far to the x�ar of
the building. h1r. Bexnstein replied due to possible future expansion oi the build-
ing, they felt it �ti�ould be wiser to place it at this distance then closer to the
huildi��ig.
b4r. Toiico asked about cuxbing around the rear par}:ing Iot. �•Ir. Fernstein
said they had plannzd on an asphalt curbing. The }3aard felt tha.t a precast
taould look Ueti.er and would not break clotian by the occasional truck traffic or
break if hit by a sno�a plo�a.
i�ir. Boardman questioried if trucks are back here c�uite often, if so thi.s area
will have to be blacktopped. �ir. Ciiosen and Tir. tiendrickson came forward and ex-
plai3�ec� that the trucks all unload inside, aitd. i�?ainly at the two front loUding
docks. T}iese docks are bay docks so tlie trucks can drive thraugh the building if
necessary. Occasionally oiie �+�ill ha��e to use the back ga2.age door next to the
/'1 railroad tracks, but this is not ofte�z.
A3r. Bernstein and the Fullcrton representatives pointed out that tllis area
is seen only by tlicroselves, otlier conu,iercial si_tes and not residential housing,
so it is not a visual handicap to aiiyone �y not hzving ttiis area blackto��pecl.

° ASr. Boardman said that since trucks back in this area are infrequent,
blacktopping will Ue left to Fullerton's discretion, but if there is an}� type of
regular truck traffic, provisions should be made to improve this area.
t�ir. Boardman a?so said the �lrivei�ay leading to the rear parking can have an
asphalt curb, as future expansion ��ould be along here.
t_ir. Tonco asked if code iti�as met for parking stalls. AIr. Bernstein said yes,
he �vill need at least 38 stalls and tlie plans shocr 39 stalls. •
Tqr. }3oar.dman asked about the drainage plan. i•Ir. Bernstein said no final one
is available. 'the Board said this plan ivill have to be iaorked out with tne
Engineering Department.
Tlie �oard asked about the landscaping plan. A1r. vernstein said.the front
yard ivill be bermed up and green ash trees planned £or this area. Flo�vexino crat�
and li.Iac is shown for the area close to the building, sod and rock iaill also be
uscc�. `I'l,,e Boa.rd asked that tlley bring in a landsc�pe plan showing exact types,
location and sizes. , .
I�fr. Tonco asked the size of the green ash trees as they <<:ould be an aesthetic
barrier bet�veen the A1-2 zone and �-1 zone. �4r. Bernstein said he did not knoz�1.
^ I�ir. Boardr:�an said tlze City code requires a three foot berm and a tree �,Tidt.l� of
1%" to 2'�
2
1'he Board recommended they bring in a final landscaping plan which tvill include
all of the items mentioned above. ,
I<Ir. Boardman asked about the variance needed an the roof projection. _
hix. Bernstein said they brougilt t}iis out quite cl.early at the Board of Appeals
meeting tliat fihey would like a variance from a three foot roof projection to an
approximai;e four foot roof projection. , The re�.son for the rec�uest is that one,
it �aill give a more visual residential appearance to blencl in �.�ith the R-1 zoning;
and ti�'o, i.t ►vill eliminate the direct morning sun light on the office area.
rir. Boardman said 'the point was brought out ai the Board o£ Appeals meeting,
but h•as not acted on. lloivever, }ie_ felt Council could pass the variance rec�uested
�ahen Fullerton goes to Council.

1. A REQUEST FOR A VARIAI�TCE OF SECTION 45.052, 1, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO INCREASE
THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT FOR A RADIO ANTENNA, ABO�'E THE DWELLING ROOF, FROM 20 FEET
ABOVE TO 70 FEET ABOVE, TO ALLOW THE PL2,CIIKENT OF A RADIO ANTENNA ON LOT Z,
BLOCK 5, BROOKVIEW TERRACE 2ND ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 920 OVERTON DRIVE N.E.,
FRIDLEY, r1INNESQTA. (REQUEST BY MR. RICHARD J. KREMER, 920 OVERTON DRIVE N.E.,
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.)
� Mr. Kremer was present to present his request. He explained that he recently
became a Citizen's Band Operator, licensed by the F.C.C. for a five year period,
expiring in 1978. He said he needs this as an additional means of communication
between his home and his car. He said his father in law, who lives approximately
120 miles from Fridley, who has not been well, has access to a Citizen's Band
� radio with a tower that is similar to the one proposed. He said if he could
install this tower he would be able to communicate back and forth quite frequently
. with him. He said he is legally able to communicate 150 miles with his radio
but with his 5 watt station he is not able to span 150 miles with his present
tower without going to illegal power. He said using the illegal power would
cause television intexference which he does not want to do. He said with the ��
5 watt station and using a good filter, that there will be no interference. He
added he does have a filter on order, that is quaranteed by the manufacturer,
to eliminate causing any interference.
Mr. Kremer stated the tower is also needed for additional communications as a
second line of communication. He'said he does have valid reasons for this but
he would not discuss them in public. He said his phone is used quite extensively
in his home business and he needs the second line of communication.
Mr. Kremer brought with him pictures and specifications for two towers that he
showed to the Board. He said he had not decided which he would purchase. He
explained the construction details and windload of each tower. He said the tower
would be free standing (no guy wires) and would be bolted to the rear of the
house by the use of a metal clamp with the base buried in concrete.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked how long he had had a tower at his residence? Mr. Kremer
answered he has had a tower since May, 1973 when he started receiving but he
was not able to send until August, 1973 when he received his license.
� Mrs. Wahlberg askecl what distance could be spanned with a 40 foot tower. Mr.
Kremer said he figured with 5 watts and a 40 foot tower he could send approximately
90 miles. He said he is legally licensed to talk 150 miles.
tes of the Board of Ap�eals.Meetin� of October 9. 1973
�.�
Mrs. Gabel asked what distance did he want to be able to span? Mr. Kremer answered
approximately 120 miles so that he could keep in touch with his father in law. He
^ said the tower he has is omnidirectional so it sends and receives in a 360 degree
area. The proposed tower is a beam antenna which has a concentrated signal of
S to 20 degrees. He said using the proposed tower and still using the 5 watt power
the signal can travel farther.
Mr. Kremer explained that in his neighborhood there are 3 other Citizen Band
Operators and 1 Ham Operator so any interference that his neighbors might have
could also be caused by them. He said it could also be the fault of the peoples
television sets. On the new television sets a filter is installed by the factory
so it won't pick up other signals. He said people who have an outdoor type
television antenna, whether it is in the attic or on the roof, usually experience �
no interference whatever and also if rabbit ears are fine tuned after changing
channels interference will be eliminated or at least lessened, He added people
usually experience some type of interference when they are trying to watch
Channel 5. He stated this could be caused by some relationship of the Channel 5
fxequency to the Citizen Band frequency.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked when and why does interference occur? Mr. Kxemer answered
it occurs whenever an operator is using to much power or when he has no filters.
Mrs. Gabel asked if there is a specific time of day when he uses his radio the
most? Mr. Kremer answered�that anytime during the day he can be receiving and
sending locally but he generally waits until the later evening hours to reach
further out.
� Chairman D�igans asked if Mr. Kremer had considered adding another telephone
line instead of adding the higher tower? Mr. Kremer said he might have considered
it if he didn't already have the radio.
Chairman Drigans said that having a Class D License, the range for sending is
150 miles. What range does a Class A or B License carry? Mr. Kremer answered
they could send world wide at possibly 1,000 watts but he added he has no desire
to d� this. He said that would be used more for.a company rather than by a
person for a hobby. .
Mrs. Wahlberg stated she is concerned with the safety factors for the antenna.
Mr. Kremer then went over the specifications which showed the stress points,
welding, windload, etc.
Chairman Drigans asked how it would be grounded? Mr. Kremer stated he plans to
set it in 2 by 4 cubic feet of concrete. He will have 10 feet of reinforced rod
that will be driven about 7 feet down into the hole with 3 feet extending beyond
the concrete. He will be putting in the concrete, metal pipe at various angles
to strengthen and also also to help ground the antenna. He said it will be able
to take a bolt of lightening and dispense it into the ground.
Chairman Drigans asked if the yard is fenced and Mr. Kremer said it was on two
sides. •
^ Chairman Drigans asked if he had insurance that will cover the tower? Mr. Kremer
said he had contacted his insurance agent who had told him his homeowners policy
was adequate to cover any damage.that might be caused by the tower.
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of October 9, 1973 Page 3
Mr. Kremer pointed out that he is a volunteer fireman with the City and he is
/1 willing to let the City use his radio as a back up radio in case of an ��
emergency.
Mr. Kremer said the height of the tower also coneists of his television antenna.
The bottom of the tower would be the basic structure,�then his Citizens Band
antenna and then his television antenna.
The Board then discussed the F.C.C. regulations versus the City regulations on the
antenna height allawed, It was brought out the F.C.C. regulations state the tower
cannot be more than 20 feet above an existing structure (which could be a tree, an
extended vent pipe, etc.) while the City Code states the antenna cannot extend
more than 20 feet above the dwelli�g xoof.
Mr. Glen VanHulzen, 901 Ironton Street, stated he lives across the stxeet from
Mr. Kremer and he would like to state his objections. He said he has not had
any interference from the cuxrent signals, but he said he would have to look at
the tower which he didn't appreciate. Ae said it would not add to the neighborhood
at all and because he cannot be sure it would or would not devalue his home he
would also have to object to it. He added he is the father of three boys and
he is worried as boys do have a tendency to get into things and there is the
possibility of them getting around the antenna and trying to climb it. He said
he felt the Ordinance was a good one and he felt the people should do their best
to keep it that way. '
Mz. Quentin Watts, 991 Overton, stated they occasionly experience interference.
^ He said he dbesn't know that it comes from Mr. Kremer's radio. He said he has
spent money to have his television repaired to eliminate getting interference
and thexe is nothing left to do with it. He said the interference usually occurs
' later in the evening. He said a structure of that sort is a natural magnet for
kids of certain ages even with a fence around it.
Mr. Roger Plessel, 861 Overton, said he also objects to the tower. He said he
has had interference on Channel 5 and he added it is very annoying as it completely
overrides the audio portion of the program. He said he felt it would be an eyesore
to the neighborhood. He said the utility companies have gone underground with
their lines to get rid of the towers. He said Mr. Kremer already has two aerials
�n his home.
Mrs. Shirley Brimer, 941 Overton, relayed a story to the Board of how a telephone
aperator had�cut into a buSy business line to relay an emergency message. She
said if they would do this on a business line they would surely do it on Mr. Kremer's
residential line if there was an emergency with his father in law.
Ms. Lillian Westin, 940 Overton, said she has had a lot of interference on her
t�levision and on her daughters stereo. She said she felt it would be an eyesore.
She said since�she lives next door, she is also concerned with Mr. Kremer's
insurance and she would like to see the policy to make sure it would cover any
damage if the tower was to fall on her house. She said she has been told it would
cause ghosts on her television and she said she can't afford a more expensive
television.
I"'1
Mr. Kremer stated the antenna he proposed is not an eyesore. It is all aluminum
and the construction is not cheap. He said there will be mesh on the tower above the
eaves so the kids cannot climb it. He said he is going to be very diligent in
watching it until the kids get used to having it there.

The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of October 9, 1973 Page. 4�.g
Mr. Kremer said the height of the tower would be out of normal eyesight as people
� usually don't go around looking up in the air. He added one of the neighbors
objecting said he had interference last winter so that couldn t have been his
fault as he didn't start receiving until May. He said there are other operators
in the neighborhood that might run on illegal power. He added the lesser expensive
stereo sets and tape decks will pick up interference because they aren't made with
any filters. He said he would buy television filters for the neighbors if they feel
they need them. He said someone mentioned he already has two antennas on his roof
which he has; One is for the fire radio as he mentioned he is a volunteer firema.n
and the other is for the Citizen's Band radio.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Wahlberg, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice .,
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. �
Mrs. Wahlberg stated she felt there had been no real hardship shown. She felt an
additional telephone line versus the cost of this tower to be installed does not
balance out. She said Mr. Kremer will be using this radio more as a hobby opposed�
to a business although he says he uses it as such. She said she had difficulty
in seeing why granting a variance to this height was a necessity. She said the
people in the neighbozhood all seem to be opposed to the antenna.
Mr. Plemel said Mrs. Wahlberg also summerized his points. He said we all would
like to think a man's home is his castle where he could pursue his hobby but the
B�ard does have to consider the feelings of the neighbors. He said Mr. Kremer
has stated he will never be going any higher, but for what this equipment will
cost he eould have another phone installed for the next ten years.
� Mrs. Wahlberg stated with his current license he has the right to transmit 150
miles but his existing equipment permits him to transmit approximately 90 miles
which seems to be enough for a hobby. She said the reason of getting in touch
with h is father in law does not seem to be enough of a reason to grant this
large a variance. She said he also already has 2 aerials on his home.
Mr. Plemel said he would assume one of those two wouid be coming down.
Mr. Kremer said nei�her would be coming down. The one tower that is up is for
360 degree signals and the one proposed is for 5 to 20 degree concentrated signals.
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel, to receive a letter from Carolyn Doyle,
921 Overton, in which she voices her objections to the tower. Upon a voice vote,
there being no nays, the motion carried.
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the Council, denial of
the request. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.

^ Mr. Sheldon Bernstein was present to present the request. He explained his firm
was engaged by Fullerton Metals to advise them on their space problem.
Mr. Bernstein, using a half-section map as reference, explained to the Board that
Fullerton Metals in on a 5 acre tract of land that is zoned M-2. He said the whole
area on the West side of Main Street is M-2 Zoning. He said the area on the East
side of Main Street is all R-1 Zoning. He explained Fullerton Metals fronts on
Main Street and Burlington Northern owns the land behind them. He said Fullerton
has been in this location for 14 years and has expanded regularly. He said their
business consists of selling metals to fabricators. He said they do no fabrication
themselves, they are a warehouse only. .
Mr. Bernstein explained the houses in the R-1 Zoning across the street all faee
the East, so their back yards abut Main Street. He said there are garages exiting
onto Main Street from these houses and there is a buffer zone of shrubbery that is
approximately 15 feet high along these back yards.
Mr. Bernstein explained Fullerton Metals would like to construct a 20 foot addition
onto the front of their building which would be an expansion of their office area.
He said the existing office area is 25 feet by 81 feet with only 2,037 square feet
and the area is very cluttered. He said they need to expand but they have to make
it useful space. He said they considered expanding back into the warehouse area
but because they would be running into the electrical boxes and such, it was deemed
unfeasible. He said to expand upward' was also considered unfeasible for their
opera tion. He said to expand onto either the north or the south side of the existing
� office would only be creating an area that would be 25 feet by 160 feet that would
spread the office personnel to far apart. He said the only feasible way to add on
would be toward the.front.
Mr. Bernstein stated the parking for this business is in the front now, 48 feet
from the curb. He said Fullerton will, if the addition is approved, put the
parking area in the rear and would also be spending a sizable amount of money for
landscaping. He said the landscaping (shown on the plot plan) would include a
berm area with trees and decorative rock, shrubs and trees along the building and
moving the parking to the rear. He said this landscaping would in essence be �
screening the addition. He said the additional parking required by the addition
would be no problem as there is alot of area for expansion in the rear yard. He
said there would not be a great increase in personnel but they would be adding
more office machines.
Mr. Bernstein said he had checked with Anoka County and the City to see if they
had any future plans for widening Main Street that would require Fullerton Metals
to give up part of their front yard but he was told there were no plans to do this,
Mr. Wally Chance, Fullerton Operations Man, came forward to explain the physical
problems they have with the existing office area. He explained at times there
are as many as 15 people within the office area of 2,037 square feet. He said
this space includes a storage area, women's lavatory and lounge, and the men's
lavatory and lounge which leaves 1300 square feet of useable office area for these
15 people plus the machines and file cabinets. He said this does not leave much
square footage per person.

Mr. Chance explained their office revolves around a city desk function so it
really all needs to be in one main area.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked what percentage of their business is walk in.
Mr. Chance answered about � percent or less. He said just about all business is
transacted by telephone.
Mr. Plemel stated it will be a nicer appearing building than what they have now.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public heaxing. Up�n a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Wahlberg stated this type of landscaping improvement will be refreshing to
see. She said Mr: Bernstein has explained why adding on in any other direction
would create an impossible situation for their office area.
Chairman Drigans said they would be enhancing the community whil•e enlarging
their own facility.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Wahlberg, to recommend to the City Council, approva L
of the request for the reasons specified in the discussion. Upon a voice vote,
there being no nays, the motion carried. .

(REQUEST BY D. W. HARSTAD COMPANY, INC , 710�: HIGHWAY ��65, FRTDLEY, MINNESOTA.)
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. Dick Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer of D..W. Harstad Co�, Incorporated, was
present to present the request.
Mr. Johnson explained they plan to build a sma.11 industrial type building, for
speculative leasing, like the other four they have built in this area.
Mr. Johnson explained the previously approved variances on Lots 1 thru 4, owned
by Paco Masonry, Inc. He said the City Council had approved the zero side yard
setback with the understanding that when the Harstad Company developed their
lots, they too would have a zero side yard setback to enable the buildings to have
a continuous line with the 40 foot green areas to be on Lots 1 and 7. He said his
campany had to sign an agreement to this effect. He stated the Council also
appxoved the same rear yard variance for Paco,and all they are.trying to do is to
line up with the Paco building. He said the lots are locked in, small and difficult.
to build on but they are nice for rental buildings.
Mr. Johnson stated the variance on parking should have read from 5 feet to zero feet
^ to�the building instead of to the property line.
��
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of October 9, 1973 Page 7
^ Chairman Drigans explained that Paco had asked for a variance on the parking for
from 5 feet to zero feet from the property line which the Board had denied. The
Building Standards Subcommittee then had recommended to the Council that since
the Board of�Apgeals had denied this variance, that the distance between the
parking area and the building be reduced from 5 feet to zero feet provided that
bumpers be applied to the building. Council in turn had concurred with the
Building Standards Subcommittee recommendation. Chairman Drigans stated the
variance should be changed as Mr. Johnson has pointed out so that both buildings
are the same.
Mr. Gary Lindgren, owner of Lots 8,9 and 10, thought the side yard variance .
might be next to his property but since it isn't he has no�objections.
Mr. Johnson said thexe will be double the required side yard setback between
his building and Mr. Lindgren's lots.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked what the two 12 foot driveways were for?
Mr. Johnson answered that they were for the loading docks, He said they can't
drive into the building from the front but they can from the back.
Mr. Plemel asked how the buildings were going to be tied together?
Mr. Johnson answered the walls of the two buildings would be against each
other with a common footing and with a caulked control joint front and rear.
� MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Wahlberg to close the public hearing. Upon a
voice vote, there being no nays, the motion caxried.
Chairman Drigans stated that at the time the Paco variances were considered and
approved, that it was with the understanding that the Harstad building would
conform to it and that is basically what the agreement was about.
MQTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, approval
of the variances so that this building will be consistant with what the Council
approved for the Paco building. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the
motion carried.

l. CONSIDER.ATION OF A PROPOSED REGISTERED LAND SURVEY, P.S. #73-08,
BY HfiRLAND E3ERRY: Described as be�_ng 180 foot lot e�tensions
' into Locl�e Lake, (part of Lot 3, Revised Auditor's Subdivision
No. 23) of Lots 2-6, Block l, Ostman's First Addition, Lot 4,
Ostman`s Second Addition, and Tracts A& B, Regi.stered Land
Survey No. 20, generally located along the West and North shores
of Locke Lake.
Mr. Harland Berry was present.
Mr..Clark said the lake bottom of I�r�cke Lake is under private
ownership. It is owned by Otto Ostman. Some property owners on this
lake do not own property to the water's edge. There were deeds drawn
up, but because this is torrens property, the County Auditor would
not accept a metes and bounds description.
Mr. Berry said these deeds vaent all the way through until
,they got to the.Register of Title. ThP taxes were paid this year,
but the pro.�erty owners can't get clear title until this Registered
Land Survey is recorded.
Mr. Christensen said this property is already on the tax rolls
then. Mr. Clark said it was.
+'"\ Mr. Berry had copies of tlie deeds which were shown to the Sub-
committee.
Mr. Harris said on some of the other lots they already have
extensions into the lake. Mr. Berry.said this land was deeded before
1968, at which time the law was changed on torrens property.
(l !a
��
Plats & Subs.-Str. & Util. Sub. Meeting - October 24, 1973` Page 2
� Mr. Berry said all the property ovmers were in agreement with
this request. Mr. Antell, 6801 Hickory Street N.E., and Mr. Bolkcom,
6821 Hickory Street N.E., were present, and Mz. Berry had the signa-
tures of all the property owners who were deeded the 180 foot exten-
sions.
Mr. Harris said he thought_-at one time there was a proposal that
the entire lake bottom was going to be platted.
Mr. Clark said at the time that Donovan Schultz platted out
Registered Land Survey No. 42, it was thought that all the owners
could join together and replat, so all the property lines would
come together in the middle of the lake. This does involve so
many property owners that it doesn't look as if this will happen.
Mr. Clark said from the City's standpoint, the more extension
of property lines that can be handled together, the better, but
I don't think we want to hold up this request because of that.
Mr. Harris asked if Mr. Ostman owned all the Iake bQttom.
Mr. Berry said he owned it all except for a small portion owned
by Mr. Scherer in the Scherer Addition. Mr. Berry said this had
gone tax delinquent about 10 years ago. Mr. Harris asked Mr.
Clark to check on this property and see that it didn't go up for
� sale in a forfeiture sale. Mr. Berry.said he didn't think it would
come up again for sale for another three years. Mr. C1ark said
the same thinq should be said for the -lake bottom if it shauld
go tax delinquent.
Mr. French said he thought this request was a good step in
the right direction.
Mr. Clark said this has been approved by the County and wiZl
satisfy titles on the property you have deeds for. What it would
mean if this was not approved is that it would be difficult to
sell this property with a clear title to the next owner.
Mr. Harris asked if the taxes were paid on this property. Mr.
Berry said all the taxes were paid by Donovan �chultz so he could
register his Registered Land Survey. He said he had all the checks
from the owners to pay the taxes, but when he gat�out to the County
he found that the taxes were already paid.
Mr. Clark said.the Council should consider asking Mr. Ostman -
for a deed for the balance of the lake bottom.
- Mr. Harris said the City should have this, especially if they
have to work on the dam.
^ Mr. Christensen said he hadn't been aware that this was all
private property.
Mr. Clark said the dam was constructed and paid for by Mr.
Ostman and the City took over the maintenance of it.
�G
Plats & Subs.-Str. & Util. Sub. Meeting - October 24, 1973 Page 3
/"� Mr. Harris asked if there was a siltation problem.
Mr. Clark said there is only normal siltation, however in
1965 when Highway #47 was under construction and there was flooding,
there was a mass�ve siltation problem.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Clark that if the City got titZe to the
lake bottom, would they be responsible for maintaining it, for instance,
if it had to be dredged. Mr. Clark said they could be, however, the
benefiting property owners might be assessed the cost for maintaining
the lake.
Mr. H�rris said he thought this would come under the jurisdiction
of public waters. Mr. Clark said he could talk to Mr. Roy Schultz
of the Departm�nt of Natural Resources and check on this. Mr. Berry
said it was his understanding that the State �nly has jurisdiction
on meaz�dE�r la�es and this can never be considered a mea.nder�d lake.
Mr. W. Balkcom said the dam could be washed out and there could
be a Creek running through the lake.
Mr. Harris asked how this was affected by the Creek and River
Preservatian Nlanagemcnt Ordinance. Mr. Clark said it follows the
shoreline of Locke Lake.
� Mr. Clark said the dam elevation can be controlled.
Mr. Harris asked the property owners present, if they had any
objection to the City owriing the lake bottom on the balance of th�
Iake. They said they had no objection. . '
Mr. French said he thought it should be a stipulation of this
request to encourage the City Council to obtain a deed for the balance
of Locke Lake that is still in private ownership by Otto Ostman. This
would ensure that if the property went tax forfeit, it would not go
back into private ownership.
Mr. Balkcom said a great part of the lake is only two to three
feet deep.
Mr. Harris a�ked why the size of the extensions were 80 feet
by 180 feet.
Mr. C1ark said that just haFt�,::ns to be the description on the
deeds that were deeded away. �
Mr. Clark said he thought th�:�extensions of�the lots should be
combined with the lots they are extending, so they cannot be separated.
They.should be all one tract or all one lot. It all depends on lzow
much red tape there caould be, but the new tracts could be combined
� � with the old tracts. There ar� deeds that are fileable. There should
be one tax statement for each property.
��
:�i' �
Plats & Subs.-Str. & Util.�Sub. Meeting - October 24, 19�3 Page 4
Mr. Meissner said he was concerned about the size of the
� extensians. The extensions by themselves, are buildable sites.
As long as the deeds have already been started with the lot size,
it would really complicate everything if the size were changed.
Mr. Balkcom said they were made this size so there would be
a margin if the lake went dawn.
Mr. Harris said we are actually platting land locked lots.
Mr. Clark said the lots they are extending are nat land lockec3,
and if we can find some way to tie the extensions to the existing
lots, there won't be a problem. We can have the petitioners first
try to replat this to tie the extensions onto the existing lots, or
else a legal document can be executed to tie the two parcels together.
Mr. Harris asked what the taxes were for the lake bottom. Mr.
Berry said they were about $65 a year. Mr. Balkcom said he hoped
it wouldn�.t increase the taxes if the two parcels were tied together.
Mr. Clark said it shouldn't, however, they should check with the
Assessor.
Mr. Berry said if these two parcels were going to be made into
one parcel for each owner, it could cost about $1,000 per lot for
surveying, etc.
n •
Mr. Clark said he didn't think the lots would have to be
surveyed because they couldn't put st�kes out in the lake. He said
he would contact Ro11ie Anderson, the County Surveyor, and see
what this would involve. It might just be paper work, and the
costs could be checked.
Mr. Meissner said he didn't like being put in a posztion of
agproving something that was already a fact.
Mr. Clark said this was done inadvertently because there has:
been a change in the law regarding torrens property.

SKYLINE PRRI<�
Mr. Otto Tauer wa.s present to inform the Commissioners of the problems which he is
having in relation to his property �ahich is adjacent to Skyline Park. Mr. Tauer is
the o��Jner of a foLir-plex and Izas expressed concer.n for his property and the vehicles
owned by his tennants.
Mr. Tauer opened his discussion by stating that the tot park was installed withotzt a
fence which has created a problem since his drivecaay runs along the park side of the
building. He explainerl that he had rec{uested the installation of a fence and Mr.
Brown had taken caxe of his�rec�uested by installing a sriow fence until such time as
a permanent fence could be insta.11ed. A snow fence is only 4' high and he feels that
this height is not adec�uate. I�1r. Tauer displayed some rocks and a broken toy car
which he had picked up ofi ;�i his driveway. He stated that the toy car had
^ punctured a car tix•e. Mr. Tauer said that it was his understanding that a four foot
chain link fence i.s to be installed, a.nd he intencis to demand a higher fence. hir.
Tauer further explained thai: Mr. Brown had informed him that according to the City
Ordinance regulating the installation of fences, the maximum heighth for a�fence is
seven feet. t��r. Tauer stated that he had checked �aith the fence companies and they
do not make a seven foot fence, so he is rec{uesting an eigFit foot fence. He clidn't
think �}�at a six foot fence wou.ld take care of his problem. Mr. Tauer asked the
Commissioners to put their intentions in writing, so he would have a firm statement
ta work with. � -
Mr. Tauer further explained that there was a lot of foul language used at tlie park,
the trash barrels are being over-turned, and the slide appears to be a target for the
rock throwers. He has called the parents of the youths who are abusing the facility
and has even talked to Lt. Rick of the Police Department. Mr. Tauer feels that the
youth need a park, but ]ie pays,for a license to operate llis four-plex and he feels
that Yie is entitled to some protection. Mr. Tauer stated that other neighbors don't
care enougtl to complain becaus.e �the�;r do not o�,m their homes . If the problems get
too far out of hand, they'11 rnove. +He stated that he was about the only property
owner in the neighborhood.
Mr. Brown stated that it was the Department's intention to install a fence, but no
heighth or time table }las been devised. b�r. Tauer explained tliat ]le had already
i�lstalled a 9 guage steel chain link fence on tliree sides of tlis property, and had
cost Ilim almost $7UU.00. '
^ Mr. Tauer referred to some pr.evious conversation which he had had with Mr. Brown
wliere they discussed uilsupervised ctiil,dren playing in the Park. tie asked if there
was some way that the parents cou.ld be forced to supervise their children while
they are pl_ayiiig at tt�e Park? Mr. Brown ancl ttie Commissioners said that there caas
no�. h1r. 1'auer. said tl�at if ttie City ctilould wri.te a letter warning the residents of
thc neighborhoc�d to watch tlzeir children, he would personally aeliver the letters.
r9r. Blair stated that the City was in no position to write such a letter.

Lt. Rick had suggested that the neighborhood patrol be used and that he in turn would
phone the parents, according.to Mr. Tauer. If this method of control.doesn't work,
that the City �aould have to take legal �ction. Mr. Tauer reported that Lt. Rick had
called three different.parents and it seems to have helped. They aren't certain
though, because since that time, school has opened and perhaps the youth have less
ti�ne to be out and earlier hours. T4r. Tauer �,iants the problems correctecl before
school is over in the Sprzng. He xecormnended the installation of a night-watch light.
Mr. Tauer repeated his request for an eight foot fence. Eie said that the venetian
slats would be iiice, but would probably serve as a snow trap, so he is asking tl�at
after the chain lii�k fence is installed, that another length of finer mesh fencing
ve fastened to the chain link fence, to prevent the children from throwing rocks
onto his drive�,�ay. He again askec� for a written statement of the Commissioners
intentions.
Mr. Blair remi��ded A4r. Tauer that they did not have a quorum present so they couldn't
take any specific action. He asked Mr. I3rawn to do some research on the problem and
prepare a recomn�endation for the November 26th meeting.
�Ir. Tauer thanked the Connnissioners for their time, alid departed.
Mr. Uro�an briefly reported on previous�conversations with i�1r. Tauer, and stated that
the main purpose for the installation of the fence, was to protect the children
from the drive�aay traffic, which the present 4' fence is doing. f�e stated that within
^ time, t.he Departmen� does plan to install a permanent fence, but that in his own
opini.on, the obligation of the City goes no farther than the recommended 4' heighth.
As far as the additional screening attached to the fence, Mr. Brawn didn't feel it
. was necessary. Tlr. Brown said that he would research son�e prices and report to the
Commission. .
Mr. Peterson stated that he could understand I�4r. Tauer's concern, since he lives next
to Locke Park. He decribed, briefly, his own experiences. Mr. Blair said that he,

the situation.
The discussion was turned to the memorandums prepared by Mr. Brown, regarding the
donation of a scoreboard for the Commons Park, and the possible construction of a
scoreboard / storage building to be built witilin the park. Some general �iiscussion
followed �aith the"Conunissioners trying to determine just where the responsibility
lies titi�ith the cost af constructing such a building. I�1r. Brown said that it would
service the Pootball Association, kIockey Association, and Babe Ruth Association. It
would also coiitain the concession stand and controls for the scoreboard.
� Mr. Blair asked that Dan Sullivan be invited to attend the November 26th meeting of
tlle Commission, to further discuss the situation. Mr. Sullivan has been appointed
as the liason betti��een the three groups and the City.

� and reported back on just what the actual o�eration of the bus would cost the City.
Mr. Brown pointed out that the monies spent annually for bus transportation are
quite sizeable, and perhaps, with the addition of this vehicle, we could both cut
the costs of transporting individuals to events, ancl in addition, provide other
services which we presently don't offer. Mr. Brown will report again, to the full
Commission.
MINI-BIKES:
Mr. Blair asked is there had been any further ctiscussion regarding the mini-bike

9.. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L,S, ��73-04, BY DENNIS C,CZECH: Divide LoC 15,
,Parcel 1080, Auditor's Subdivision No. 129, into two building sites.
�Mr. Dennis Czeeh was present.
c
Mr. Clark s�id this is part an•old plat that was left out of
Gunderson Terrac , between Onon ga and Fireside. He said Mr. Czech's
lot is 120' x 250� and he wou like to keep 130 feet on the lot where
there i`s an existing house, o provide a larger back yard. The house
on Onondaga is 52 feet bac from the property line. The remaining parcel
will be�75' x 120',�whic will be the new building site.
Mr. Erickson sai� this would meet the minimum requirements.
Mr. Fitzpatrij,c�k sa this split isn't in line with the other lots
in this block. �tr. Clark said it was oft 10 feet so the 10 foot utility
easement would,all have to be taken off the one lot. Mr. Clark said
he would have��to check the asements on the other progerties, and line
the easement,iup with the oth lots.
MOTION by Minish, seconded�by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Commission
recomme�}d approval to Council• of lot split request, L.S, 4�73-04, by Dannis
C. Cze�h, to divide Lot 15, Parcel 1080, Auditor's Subdivision No. 1�9,

mot on carried unanimously.
' 10. Ai�M_ORY �FERRAL
� William Cheeseman, Adjutant General of the State of Minnesota was
present. �
Genera2 Cheeseman said he was here aC the request of Mr. Clark to
expand or answer any questions the Commission might have in regard to
location or site, if a National Guard Unit is established in the City of
Fridley, and for your recommendation to the City Council.
Mr. Erickson asked General Cheeseman how much land they would need.
General Cheeseman said they would need a minimum of 5 acres, which is
required by Federal directive, and we have to have.fee simple title to
the property. By we, I mean the State Armory Building Commission.
Mr. Erickson asked who would purchase the property.
.
General Cheeseman said the land must be donated �y the community to
the State Armory Commission, who in tura, turn it over to the State of
Minnesota.
�
��
p�annin� Commission Meetin� March 7�973 �a�e_16
Chairman Erickson asked how large the armory would be. General
Cheeseman said it would be approximately 18,000 square feet, with an
additional 28,000 square feet used for an a.sphalt road, sidewalk., parking
area, etc..
Mr. Minish asked if the armory would be available for cor�unity use.
General Cheeseman said civic functions where no profit is made, and it
doesn't cost the armory money, there.would be no charge for the use. Once
the building is up, it doesn't cost the City any�hing for maintenance �r.
upkeep'on the building, If the use does cost the armory money, there wou�d
be a rental charge. Sf the Firemen or Chamber of Co�rnerce �aere to use it
for a dance, for instance, there would be a charge.
Mr, Fit�patrick asked if there were gyumasium facilities of any kind.
General Cheeseman said the floor was concrete and the assembly hall c�2s
7,000 square feet. This is large enough for a full b�skett�a�l court ariu
they do install the baskets. As far as sports are concerned, it wau1G
have to be used for fntermural sports because there are no iacilities far
an audience.
• �e said the National Guard would only be using the armory during �lz�
week end. Mr. Fit2patrick said ther� is a need for xecreational areas £or
the Park Board. General Cheeseman said the armories have been used for this
� purpose and there are locker room and shower facilities.
General Cheeseman said the Federal Government pays 7570 of the cost of
' the construction of an armory, within the specifications they set up by
military ordinance. 2hat leaves 25% which actually gets to be about 3{�/0,
that they won�t provide, that must be paid by the co�unity and the State.
The State puts money in its appropriations and this money is for:a new
• armory to lease the facilities from the State Armory Building Cvurcnission.
The armory does not belong to our department. That mQney goes into pa.ying
off the bonds. Also there is a payment by the comtnunity, as provided for
by law, in regard to tax levy on taxable property. T�iis is payment by the
Gity, to retire the armory bond. ,
General Cheeseman said, in Faircnont, Minnesota, where they just built
a new armory, it will cost that City $6,000 a year for about 23 years. There
is a basic plan for an armory, and this particular armory, was more expensive
than most. They asked for additions, and every City has different requirements
We can add anything that the army can share the use. We had to turn down one
request for an armory because they wanted an ice arena in connection with
the armory and this cannot be considered a shared use.
Mr. Erickson said, in essence�, the City is buying a piece of a building
and if they want to use it, there would be some fee for using it. Genera�
Cheeseman said he thought it should be brought out that this will be Fridley�s
Guard Unit, and so was a part of the coc�unity. The charge for civic uae
^ . would be very minimal, just the cost of clean-up,.light$, and heat, if
ecessary. He said for intermural sports the fee is $6.00 an hour and for
a'dance the fee would be $75.00,
..

Planning Commission Meeting - March 7, 1973 Page 17
� '^
1�Ir, Erickson asked how much equipment would be stored on the property.
General Cheeseman said that would depend upon tfie type of unit, but it
would be vehicular equipment, Mr. Minish asked if our code calls for
atorage of all eq�lipment, how this would be handled. General Cheeseman
said this is what he meant that by meeting the requirements of different
cities, the cost of the building could vary.
�
General Cheeseman said that out oi twenty communities, we only want
an armory in five of them. ,
Mr. Erickson asked how many men would use the�armory. General Cheeseman
said a single unit armory has 120 men.
General Cheeseman said we do need highway access and should be able
to move our equipment without driving on residential streets. We also
need all the utilities. There must be sewer and water available.
Chairman Erickson asked if General Cheeseman had looked at any
sites in Fridley, General Cheeseman said he hasn�t looked at any sites.
He said we are making it known we want to locate five armories in the
Minneapolis area, If a community shows an interest in ha�,�ing an armory
and ther.e is some sort of a commitment from the Council to support an
axmory, which he said is quite intangible, He said he didn't want to
wav� the flag, but it needs the patriotic an d univeral support of the
community. He said the Council has shown an intereat by referring this
to the �lanniug Commission.
He said a site should be selected and ear marked f-or an armqr•�. Th�e
should be no transfer of property until a r'equest goes into the Federal
Government for an armory to be located here.
.
Mr. Erickson said if the City Council said; we want an armory at some
designated location, then how long would it take. .
General Cheeseman said it takes some time. They are working on a ten
, year plan. He said the City would get a letter saying it is our plan and
' program to build an armory in Fridley, and give them a firm year. He
said the Council woulc� then be asked to appoint a citizen's committee that
� would work with someone from the military, appointed by the Governor.
• � Mr. Schmedeke asked if they are meeting with other suburbs also.
General Cheeaeman said they felt that Fridley would be a good location
or an armory.
� �,,,,� hairman Erickson thanked General Cheeseman for coming.
�
'T 11. REVIEW OF MINUTES ON ZOA ��72-11 and SP 4k72-18, UNION OIL COMPANY
� Mr. Erickson sai3 they asked for a review of their minutes because
the &tatement had been made that the Planning Commission didn't understand
the proposal. .
Mr, Erickson said they did understand the proposal, but the traffic
solution presanCed with the proposal caused a lot of controversy at the
Public l�earing. '�}�e Plaaning Cammiss�on also felt there could be a better

MEMO T0:
MEMO FROM:
Planning Commission Members
Jerrold L. Boardman, Planning Assistant
MEMO DATE: October 31, 1973
RE: Flood Plain Information Requested
I talked to Jim Wright of the Department of .Natural
Resources about the questions that you had raised at the
October 17, 1973 meeting and can report the following:
l. The City of Fridley has sole priority on the decisions
within its boundaries. Approval by other bodies are
not necessary since there are merely recommending to
the City.
2. Any fill, even from washouts, should require City
approval, although filling in emergency situations
� can be a matter of City policy. The reason for this
is that the City should have control over the type
of protective measures taken in order to control
future erosion.
3. Removir�g o.f trees in the flood way would not increase
the level of flow and would therefore not be a
necessity to control in a flood management ordinance.
However, it could be incorporated in.our ardinance
without affecting the validity of what we want to
achieve with our ordinance.
I also talked with Mr. Jim Haner of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development - F.H.A. Division. He said
that the mortgage value of the homes within the flood plain
would increase because of the availability of mortgage money
with the purchase of flood insurance. He didn't feel that
-the actual housing value would decrease in those areas
affected by this ordinance (such as Rice Creek) because we
are not restricting�any land improvement in the floodway,
only habitable structures.
Mr. Kirk English, Department of Natural Resources, and
Mr. Jim Haner, HUD, will be present at the meeting of November
7, 1973 to help answer questions.
