RECEIVE BOARD__OF APPEALS MINUTES: JANUARY 15, 1974
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning
Commission receive the Board of AppeaZs minutes of January 15, 1974.
Upon a voice vote, aI1 voting a_ye, the motion carried unanimousZy.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #74-01, HENNING NELSON
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY: To rezone Lots 13, 14, 15, 16, Block 2,
Riverwood Manor, from R-1 (single family dwelling areas) to
R-3 (general multiple family dwelling areas) to allow con-
struction of a 24 unit apartment complex to be located South
of 71st Way and West of East River Road.
Mr. Mark Reinertson, Vice President of Henning Nelson Construction
Company was present.
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Harris, that the Planning
Commission waive the reading of the Public Hearing notice, ZOA #74-01,
by Henning Nelson Construction Company to rezone from R-1 to R-3.
Upon a voice vote, a71 voting aye, the motion caxried unanimously.
Mr. Reinertson presented preliminary plans for a townhouse type
of development which could be a cluster of three buildings or a
cluster of two. These would be 12 to 2 storys and contain from l6
to 24 rental units consisting of mainly one bedroom apartments with
a few 2 bedroom units. He said they were requesting this zoning
change because they thought this was a neat and spiffy concept of
how this property could be developed for urban living and was some-
thing they could do a good job on. They have tried to sell this
property as R l for six or seven years, and it was property that
was heavily taxed.
Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 2
^ .
� Mr. Reinertson said he had talked to various people from
City Hall trying to get ideas for this property and from these
talks his company had come up with this concept. He said th�re
are problems in this area in that East River Road is heavily
traveled and, especially the corner lot, was not conducive to
R-1 development. He said with this concept the 2 story would
be below grade so the townhouse type units would blend into the
neighborhood and would make a nice entrance into the area. The
entrances and exits to this development would be on 71st Way.
Mr. Reinertson said the drawings being presented were just
guidelines on how this townhouse type complex could be developed
and he was open to suggestions from the neighbors or the Planning
Commission, and would welcome these suggestions. He said there
would be a buffer on the West side of the development of about
46 feet from the adjacerit home.
Mr. Clark asked Mr. Reinertson. if any member of the City
staff had recammended that this property be rezoned. Mr. Reinertson
said he had,just talked over some of the possibilities of developing
this property, and after these discussions, his company had come
up with this concept.
Mr. Clark asked if they intended these units to be owner
� occupied or if they would be rental units. Mr. Reinertson said
they could be both. Mr. Clark said the ordinance on townhouses
requires 5 acres for owner occupied units. As this property is
only 1.4 acres, they would have to be rental units. -
Mr. Harris asked if they owned other property in this area.
Mr. Reinertson said they had owned 3 other lots but they had sold
1 lot and built homes on the other two.lots. The last house they
built they had to rent for two years before it was sold.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Clark if this area was in the comprehensive
plan. Mr. Clark said this part of East River Road was not a specific
study area of the plan.
. Mr. Le.o Bender, 146 71st Way N.E., said he had a petition
signed by the residents of the area, stating that they supported
the current R-1 zoning on Lots 13, 14, 15, 16, Block 2, Riverwood
Manor, and were.opgosed to any rezoning for five reasons: (l)
hazardous to school children, (2) additional noise of multiple dwelling
units, (3) change in the continuity of the neighborhoad, (4) destruction
of the environment, and most important, (5) invasion of the individuals
right to zoning protection. •
MOTION by Lindblad, seconded by Ha'rris, that the Planning
Commission receive Petition #1-I974, as presented. Upan a voice
^ .vote, a11 voting aye, the motion c.arried unanimously.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Bender what was meant by the invasion of
the inda.viduals right to zoning protection?
� Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 3
Mr. Bender said the people in this area had bought their homes
with the understanding that the area would continue to be zoned R-1.
He said our forefathers thought this was proper zoning for this area
and the present residents didn't want any other zoning.
Mr. Roger Claesgens, 7130 Riverview Terrace N.E., asked what
the land space to building ratio would be in the proposed development.
Mr. Reinertson said the land area was 60,000 square feet and each
individual unit would be 800 to l,OQO square feet. It would �
be below the density allowed.
Mr. Gordon Sangster, 7169 Riverview Terrace N.E., said he was
h�re as a representative of the Fridley School Board, to state that
the School Board would be opposed to any rezoning that would increase
dens�.ty in this area within the proximity of the entrance to the
grade school. If such rezoning was finalized, School District #14
would take formal action.
Mr. Reinertson said the proposed townhouse concept would be
further back from the entrance to the school than residential homes
would be.
Mr. Claesgens said he was the oldest resident of this area and
^ had moved in in 1950. His father-in-law had awned the property
from where the schcsol is located, approximately 32 acre�, and the
area from Riverview Terrace to East River Road, just North of this
proposed development. Behind this development is the Girl Scout
property, which is open area, and the North side of the school
property has been left open also. While it is true that most of
the students are bussed to the grade school, there are sixty or
seventy residences across East River Road and these children walk
to school. Although there is a semaphore at this crossing, it still
requires a lot of care on East River Road not to interfere with the
children crossing this street. Having up to 24 rental units on
this proposed development would generate increased traffic at this
intersection where the children cross. He also didn't feel that
. 1� to 2 story buildings would fit into a single family housing area
and it wouldn't he compatible with what is already there.
r'1
Mr. Reinertson said these units would be mostly one bedroom
units and there would only be five 2 bedroom units, so we,are
only talking about 30 to 35 additional people, very little rnore
than what would be in four single family homes. He said there
wouldn't be large families in these.units and a lot of the one
bedroom units would only have one person with one car. He said
it was not unusual for single family homes to have two and three
cars, so he didn't think this development was generating that much
more traffic.
Mr. W. J. Engelhardt, 7120 Riverview Terrace, said �his
property was sold on the premise that there would be no multiple
camplex in this area. These lots were sold with the understanding
that they would be single family housing. �
Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 4
,/"� .
Mr. Steven Paaverud, 7045 East River Road, said that Mr.
Reinertson made the statement that this development would enhance
the community arid benefit the City. He said we feel like we.are
a community in this area and our contention is that this would be
changing our neighborhood to a transient society. This is not in
line with what we feel for this area. We are a neighborhood and
we appreciate the area as it is. There are more things to consider
ti�an what can be done with thisparticular corner. This may involve
less profit for the land owner, but we feel that Fridley abounds wi�th
apartments and we don't want any in our area.
Mr. Engelhardt said that when this property was purchased,
the buyer knew it was zoned for single family homes only.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said any property owner ha�: the right to
request a zoning change.
Mr. Reinertson said it was Thomas Jefferson who said that each
generation should rewrite their own constitution because what was
right in the past is not always applicable to us at the present time.
We want to keep this area a residential area. We don't want it to
be commercial property. He didn't think people should look down on
transient people just because they live in a house and have more space.
/� The complex they are proposing would be very nice and fit into the
n�ighborhood. It would not be lot rent housing.
�
Mr. Paaverud said he didn't mean to say that he looked down on
transient people. He just felt that because they were transient,
they wouldn't have the interest or take the care that a property
owner would have in this same area.
Mr. Reinertsan said this proposed complex would pay more taxe�
than four residentialhomes, and could relieve some of the tax burden
in this area.
Mr. Paaverud said there should be other alternatives other than
an apartment complex. Mr. Reinertson said they have been looking for
alternatives for six or seven years.
Mr. Tim O'Neill, 158 71st Way N.E., said these were good size
lots and he thought they could be sold for homesites in the $40,000
or more class, if the owners would be satisfied to make a good profit
and not excessive profit.
Mr. Adas, 168 71st Way N.E., said he couldn't offer any suggestions
on the development of this property but on the point of rezoning, he
felt we want our community well laid out and for it to have continuity.
He said that Henning Nelson had built his home and he was sure they
would do a fine job with this proposed development, but it would
cause problems in the neighborhood. Everyone worked together and
he felt this would be lost with rental property. He said we have �
a good plan going and he would like it to stay that way. �.

Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 5
� .
Mr. Reinertson said he lived at Twin Lakes and a few years
ago they had a proposal for an apartment complex in this area.
Many people in the area were opposed to this proposal but after
the apartment complex wasthere, it did fit into the area, and
the people who lived in this complex contributed a lot to the
community, and did not detract from the residential area.., He
continued that some people are afraid of the unknown. He said
this development would be done well and the neighborhood standards
would be maintained. They were concerned about this being compatible
� with the neighborhood and what they were presenting should enhance •
this area.
Mr. Drigans said one aspect of this development has not been
discussed, and that was the financial aspect of it. He said there
is one development in Fridley that has�been going on for about two
years because as the different proposals were approved, they ran
into trouble financing their project, and he wanted to know if there
was financing available for this project, if it was approved. He
said he didn't know if`lending institutions would lend money for a
$40,000 to $50,000 home on the corner of East River Road either.
He asked what the value of the four lots were also.
Mr. Clark. checked the files for the valuation of these lots
by the Assessing Department, and Lots 13, 14 and l5 were valued at
� $6504 and Lot 16 at $5400. Mr. Reinertson said they have owned this
property for ma�y years and gaid a lot of special assessments on them
and were asked $8,000 to $12,OQ0 for these lots. He said they had a
good working arrangement with their bank and didn't think they would
have any problem financing this development.
Mr. Drigans said he wanted to compliment Mr. Reintertson on
his preliminary plans. They were the best that had been presented
Yn a long time.
Mrs. Tim O'Neill said she thought it was feasible for some one
to gurchase these lots and build a$40,000 to $60,000 home on these
lots. She felt this company had inflated the price of these lots
because she didn't think they have any intention of selling them
as single famiiy home sites.
Mr. Leo Bender said that Mr. Clark stated that because of the
acreage of this property, it could not be owner occupied and would
have to be rental property. He asked Mr. Reinertson if he had seen
the article in the Fridley Sun about the occupancy rating of apartments
by City, and�hat Fridley has a high percentage of vacancies. Mr.
Reinertson said he had not, and would be interested in seeing it, but
they have made their own investigatioiz and felt these units would rent.
Mr. Paaverud said that at the present time owners of apartments
/"� were having something of a bonanza because it was difficult to
purchase homes, but he thought most people desire to own their property
and that's one of the reasons there is such a turnover in apartment
rentals.
Mr. Engelhardt said he had sold this property with the promise
Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 6
/"� . �
to the buyers, that this area would remain R-l. If it was rezoned,
it would make a liar out of him.
Mr. Reinertsbn said he had studied the reasons given on the
petition tatiay the property owners ��� _op�zq�ed �to th�:s �e�oni.ng request.
He thought that because this proposal was very much above standard,
their points of objection, would not happen.
Judith May, l84 71st Way N.E., said this property was purchased
from her father, Howard Crabtree, and it was sold as a single family
area. She thought�is would be a breach of faith to build rental
units in this area.
. Mr. Reinertson said he didn't want to fight with anyone over
this proposal, but he asked Ms. May to check with her father on
the purchase agreement.
Mrs. O'Neill said that when they purchased their lot from
Henning Nelson, they had to give them assurance that they would build
at least a$35,000 home to maintain the.property va],ues in the area,.
and they gave us their assurance that the area would have the same
value homes on the area that was still vacant.
Mr. Reinertson said this showed that�they were very concerned
� about maintaining the property values in this area and why this
development would have such high standards and be an asset to the
community . �
Mr. Claesgens said he didn't think it showed much business
acumen to hold property for ten years and pay all the assessments
and taxes that long, until they had so much invested in the property
that it would take a proposal like this to pull them out economically.
Mr. Reinertson said they didn't need this development to pull
them out of anything. They have tried to sell this property without
success so on an economical basis, they felt this development would
be a good use for this property. �
Mrs.Corrine. Bender said that when apartments are new, everything
is very nice, but after five years they start going down hi11, and
over a period of time, they detract from the area.
Mr.,Harris asked Mr. Clark if a notice had been sent to Anoka
County. There`s a"J-og in East River Road, South of this property,
and wondered if the County had any plans for widening the road by
17 feet, in this area. Mr. ClarY. said no notice was sent to them.
Mr. Harris said there might also be consideration of a wider radius�
for 71st Way from East River Road. Mr.. Reinertson said he didn'•t
think they would need additional right of way for the radius of
,r� �71st Way from this property, but he was concerned about the jog in
East River Road and would like to check on this himself, also.
Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 7
� Chairman Fitzpatrick said it should be checked out with
the County on what part of East River Road is in their study area.
Mr. Claesgens asked if the Commission was aware of any State
statutes about the location of multiple dwellings in relation to
a school area. No one was aware of any such statute.
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning
Commission close the Public Hearing on rezoning request, ZOA #74-OZ,
by Henning Nelson Construction Company to rezone from R-1 to R-3.
Upon a voice vote, aIl voting a�e, the motion carried unanimously. '
MOTION b� Drigans seconded by Harris, that the Planning Commission
continue the rezoning request, ZOA #74-01, by Henning Nelson Construction
Company, to rezone Lots 13, 14, 15 and 16, Block 2, Riverwood Manor,
from R-1 (single famiZy dwlling areas)�to R-3 (general muZtipZe family
dwelling areas) to a1low construction of a 24 unit apartment complex
to be Zocated 5outh of 71st Way and West of East River Road, until
Eebruary 20, I974. Upon a voice vote, a1I voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
2. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #74-02, BERKELEY PUMP
;COMPANY: To rezone Lots 1& 2, Block 13, Spring Braok Park
Addition, from R-1 (single family dwelling areas) to M-1 (light
industrial areas) to make zoning consistant with property lines
� at 181 Ely 5treet N.E.
Mr. Leland Snead, �ranch Manager of Berkeley Pump Company was
present.
MOTION by Lindblad, seconded by Drigans, that the Planning
Commission waive the reading of the Public Hearing not.ice for
rezoning request, ZOA #74-02, by Berkele� Pump Company. Upon a
voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimous3y.
Mr. Clark said the petitioner owns five lots and Lots 3,-4 and
5 were re�oned in 1961 and why the other two lots were nbt included
in this request, he couldn't say.
Mr. Snead said his company occupies these five lots which
are 30 feet by approximately 200 feet which gives them 150 feet of
frontage. He said they should all be zoned the same as long as they
are under one ownership. He said they had no intention of adding
on to our present building and because of the setback requirements
for buildings across from R-1 zoning, the setback requirement is
100 feet, so that according to the Code, they couldn't expand onto
these two lots anyway. They want to clean up these lots and put
in a hard surfaced parking lot, do some landscaping and put up a
new fence.
� Mr. Fitzpatrick asked when this building was constructed. Mr.
Snead said he didn't know but the building was there when his company
purchased this property in 196$. Mr. Snead said he thought it would
make the property more saleable if it was all zoned the same.
Mr. Daxrel Nystrom, 248 Ely Street, asked if Berkeley Pump was
�'1
Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 8
occupying as much of this property as possible, or if they could
expand. Mr. Clark said that because of the zoning requirements
there has to be a 100 foot setback on M-1 property that abuts R-1
property and this building is 1G1 feet back, so they couldn't
expand without a variance which would also require a Public Hearing.
Mr. Snead said the only plans they have for this property is
to clean it up and make it look good. He didn't think his cornpany
would want to spend any money expanding this building, even if they could
If they outgrow this site, they woulct look for a.larger site.
Mr. Nystrom asked how many people were employed by the company.
Mr. Snead said there were five full time employees and two part time.
Mr. Nystrom said it was his understanding that the trucks were
supposed to take 79th to Ashton and stay off Ely, Liberty and Ruth.
Mr. Snead said they do instruct the truck drivers on the route they
are to take, but drivers who aren't familiar with the area, come`in
the easiest way. He said he thought there should be signs designating
the truck route. �
Mr. Frank Niznick, 191 Liberty Street, said his house was located
on Lots 1 and 2, Block 12, and his neighbor, Mr. George Emerick,
who was also present and lives at 181 Liberty Street, on Lots 3 and
^ 4, and they were concerned about the zoning lines being moved in
any of these blocks.to bring the industrial area closer to their
homes.
Mr. Emerick asked how many parking stalls they would have
in the designated area. Mr. Snead said l2 would be the maximum.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Clark why the M-1 zoning line meandered
in this area. Mr. Clark said that when the M-1 zoning was done
in this area, it followed the railroad tracts, so he assumed this
was the reason.
Mr. Clark said this could also be handled with a Special Use
Permit on these two lots because there was a provision that you can
use adjacent R-1 property for parking lots with such a Special Use
Permit. Mr. Snead said he wasn't aware that there was such a
provision. He said he only learned two months ago that the five
lots did not have the same zoning, so that's why he applied for
rE.zoning,of the two R-1 lots.
Mr. Fitzpatriek said he would be able to use the lots for the
same purpose under a Special Use as he cauld with rezoning and a
Special Use Permit was a little easi.er to get.
Mr. Clarence Godlewski, 228 Ely Street, and Mr. Nystrom said
/"\ •they would have no objection to a Special Use Permit being granted
on these lots as long as it let Mr. Snead do the same thing he wanted
to do with rezoning. There objection was to any more rezoning to
industrial being done in this area.
�
Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 9
Mr. Snead asked what the procedure was for obtaining a Special
Use Permit. Mr. Clark said he would check with the City Attorney
to see if the Planning Commission could deny the rezoning request
and recommend that this be handled as a Special U��e. He said it
wouldn't really hold Mr. Snead up, because if the Special Use was
approved, it wouldn't involve any ordinances being published. Mr.
Snead said he wasn't in any hurry because they couldn't put in any
parking lots until Spring.
Mr. Drigans wondered if the tax base would be different if this
property was all zaned M-1 or if it continued as it is. Mr. Snead
said he had checked with-th�ity Assessor and he said it would be
taxed on the present land use regardless of zoning.
� Mr. Drigans said as long as they were going to continue this ,
item, he thought Mr. Snead should present his plans for the parking
Iot, landscaping and fence to the Building Standards-Design Control
Subcommittee before it comes back to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Lindblad asked Mr. Snead to have one of the nurseries draw
up the landscape plan, rather`than have�someone from the City do it,
because they got more variety that way.
Mr. Nystrom said he had attended a lot of ineetings at City Hall
and he didn't think they should ask people to go to a nursery for
/'1 landscape plans. There was no reason the property owner couldn't
plan their own �andscaping.
Mr. Lindblad said there ususally is no charge for this plan, if
they buy their shrubs from that nursery. He said the only point he
was trying to make was that the City staff should not draw up landscape
plans for eueryone because it would make the landscaping too similar,
and that a nursery would give more variety to the planning.
Mr. Godlewski said he had a plan drawn up by Bob's Produce,
and if he couldn't afford to have the landscaping done at that time,
he eould had had the plan at no charge. �
Mr. Snead said he had only been Branch Manager for Berkeley Pump
in this area for about a year, and he has been making every effort to
clean up this propert�. They have torn down an old shed, and with
the proposed improvement, it will clean up the property, and he hoped
it would be an incentive to other businesses in the area because they
alI need� " cleaning up.
The neighbors in the audience said they appreciated the efforts
Mr. Snead was making.
Mr. Clark said that if the zoning lines weren't changed, it
would be building in a buffer between this building and the R-1 area.
�
Mr. Snead said the parent company would like to have this property
all zoned the same, but he would check with them, and if they were
agreeable to this being handled as a Special U5e Permit, he would
be agreeable also.

Planning Commissi�n Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 10
MOTION by Harris, seconded by LindbZad, that the Planning
Commission continue the Public Hearing on rezoning request, ZOA
#74-02, Berkeley Pump Company, to rezone Lots 1 and 2, B1ock Z3,
Spring Brook Park Addition, from R-1 (single family dwelZing areas)
to M-1 (Zight industriaZ areas) to make zoning consistant:with property
lines at 181 EIy Street N.E., to determine if this can be handled
as a SpeciaZ Use Request and the petitioner's plan is seen by the
Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee on February 21, 1974,
untiZ March 6, 1974. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
3. RESPONSE FROM LETTER CONCERNING ARMORY REQUEST
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning
Commission receive the letter from the Rotary C1ub of Fridley dated
January 21, 1974. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Clark said they didn't seem to.be getting much.response
from this letter, and he thought the Planning Commission should
be thinking of when they want to make their recommendation on the
armory.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said this could be put on the March 6th
agenda and at that�time the Commission could set a Public Hearing
date. �
4. �iAI�DI;ING OF BILLBOARD SIGNS
Mr. Clark said that our sign ordinance states that by next
September, billboards that are non-conforming will have to have
a Special Use Permit. As we only have-4 billboards in Fridley
that meet the requirements, we will be flooded with requests.
Does th� Planning Commission want to handle �hese �.equests as they
come in, or do you want to accumulate them and review them together.
Mr. Harris said he would want an opinion, in writing, from
the City Attorney before they start any hearings on these requests.
He said if we deny Special Use Permits on signs that have been in
existance before the ordinance was written, we could all be in
Court.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said it would be difficult to deny a request
when the billboard was going to stay the same. .
Mr. Clark said they have been given 5 years to amortize them
or else apply for a Special Use Permit..
Mr. Lindb].ad said he couldn't see that this ordinance can
change what is already there anymore than a new building code can.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that at the time this ordinance was written,
it was. assumed that they would comply in five'years. Mr. Clark said
we don't know if they will comply or not.

Planning Commission Meeting - February 6, 1974 Page 11
Mr. Clark said that in addition to the Special Use Permit
a lot of them will need variances because they are in a residential
area, they are too close to the highway or an intersection. He
said that the sign for Sandees breaks all the codes and yet this
is one of the older businesses in Fridley and it might be difficult
to deny this sign. Mr. Harris said this sign is on leased property,
and if we denied the request and his lease had not run out, we could
find ourselves being asked to pay for the unused portion of the lease.
Mr. Clark said that if we allowed this billboard, which doesn't meet
the code at all, it would be difficult to deny any other requests. .
Mr. Drigans said the sign ordinance is very difficult to
interpret.
Mr. Harris said there is no doubt.that some of the requests will
have to be denied, and we may have to defend our position in court,
so I think we should be sure we are defending the right position
before we start.
Mr. Clark said that when we get some of these requests, he
thought the Planning Commission, the Board of Appeals, and maybe th�
Council, along with the City Attorney, should have an informal meeting
to review these requests in relation to the sign ordinance, before
we ever set Public Hearings on these requests.
5. CONFERENCE INVITATION
Chairman Fitzpatrick said he thought as many members as could
go, should try to make the conference they had been invited to on
Apri1 20, 1974. He thought it would be very worthwhile.
Mr. Clark said that if there was any charge for this con�erence,
he was sure they would be reimbursed by the City.
Chairman Fitzpatrick adjourned the meeting at 10:45.P.M.

TERRACE HOCKEY RINK,
The Commissioners discussed the possibility of constructing and maintaining a Hockey
rink at Terrace Park. Mr. Blair asked if the intentions were for the 1974 - 1975
Skating Season, and Mr. Brown said that they were.
Mr. Blair asked if the Gity had any plans to construct a Hockey rink at Rice Creek
School, and Mr. Brown stated�that we did not. Mr. Brown.went on to explain that
we presently have no plans to build additional Hockey rinks, but in the event that
we do have funds made available, the next rink should go to the Rice Creek School
area or Dave Harris Estates. There is a real void in this area.
^ Mr. Wagar stated that from his past experience, he thinks the construction of a
mini-Hockey rink with only 2' boards would be a bad investment. Mr. Blair said
that he would have to concur with that statement. Mrs. Caldwell asked if the 2'
high boards wouldn't be dangerous? Mr. Wagar said that they would be fine for the
S or 6 year old, but would be,very dangerous for the 10 to.12 year old. With the
construction of any type of boards, it would be a drawing;point for the Hockey
skater, and the older boys always dominate the rinks, so the S and 6 year olds
would sti11 be without a place to play.Hockey.
Mr. Brown was asked who would be responsible for controlling the situation? He
responded by saying that the attendant would have to be in complete charge. Mr.
Wagar said that that would be an impossible situation, and used the example of the
past Summer before the Beach opened at Moore LaKe for the Season. He had stopped
his car and informed the swimmers that the Beach was not open, no lifeguards were
on dut�y, and that they should get out of the water. He said that the violators
almost threw him in the lake, and they weren�t teenagers, either. He agreed that
it would be an impossible situation.
Robert Peterson arrived and Mr. Blair briefed him on the Terrace Hockey Rink
discussion.
Mr. Wagar said that he felt the City had other priorities which should�be considered
first. Mrs. Caldwell said that we're having enough. trouble maintaining the rinks
which we already have.

M�R�P�A� COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL�
Mr. Brown asked the Commissioners to make a decision on continuing or discontinuing
their membership in the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association. The Commissioners
asked about the benefits received from this group. Mr. Brown said that they are
invited to attend the Fall Conference.each year, to meet with other Commissioners
who might have similar problems with solutions, or good ideas for improving present
facilities and conditions. They will also continue to receive the mailings. The
^ charge is $25.00 per year for the entire Commission. Mr. Brown said that in order
to gairi from the M.R.P�.A., you have to participate.
Mr. Brown said that at one of the Fall Conferences, he learned how inexpensively
a tennis court can be lighted through the use of a coin-operated switch, as is
presently in operation in Roseville.
Mr. Peterson said that for the nominal fee, we do gain quite a bi� o£ worthwhile
information.

GYMNASTICS FOR GIRLS�
n �
Mr. Brown informed the Commissioners that he had been approached by Don Meyers o£
Fridley Senior High School, about the possibility� o£ conducting a Gymnastics class �
for the girls o£ the Community. He was recommending that the school provide the
facility, and that Teri Nelson be in charge of the classes.� Mr. Brown said that
Miss Nelson had been in the office and they had discussed the program. He felt that
it would be a good program. The age group would inyolve Jr. High School girls.

The program would be self-sustaining, in that the monies collected from the -
participants would be used to pay the salary of Miss Nelson. The fee would be
$10.00 per participant, and the program would last approximately 10 weeks.
Mr. Brown will keep �the Commissioners informed on the development of this new
program.
NORTH PARK�
The Commissioners briefly discussed the Council's decision regarding the development
of North Park. Mr. Brown stated that the Council intends to hire a Naturalist for
the City

Mr. Brown in£ormed the Commissioners that there was some legislation before the
State, dealing with the control o£ Dutch Elm and Oak Wi1t Diseases. There will
be some monies available, and the City should keep abreast of this progress, in
.order to benefit from the decisions made. Mr. Brown recommended that copies of
' the information we already have, be forwarded to the City Gouncil,
MQNTHLY CORRESPONDENCE�
^ The Commissioners briefly reviewed the correspondence mailed during the month.
Gary Stimmler arrived at 8:30.
WARM WE:ATHER VS ICE SKATING RINKS� :
Mr. Stimmler called the Commissioners attention to the poor ice conditions which
prevail at the City Parks. He pointed out that there was sand exposed on the
Hockey rinks, and that this was extremely hazardous. He also stated that many o�
. the games have had to be rescheduled, due to warm weather and poor ice conditions.
He-asked what could be done.
Mr. Brown responded by informing the Commissioners of the efforts which were being
made and reminded them that the weather has been hopeless for ice making over the
past several we�ks.
Councilman Utter arrived at 8:50, to discuss the conditions of the ice skating rinks,
and reported that he had received numerous phone calls about the pxoblem.
General discussion followed, including the possibility of splitting the regular
shifts, working overtime, and other aimilar solutions. Mr. Brown explained that
the Department has worked quite a bit of overtime already this season, but that
when we have such terribly warm weather, even in the middle of.the night, it is
impossible to get the ice to set up.
� Councilman Utter and the Commissioners asked Mr. Brown to make every effort to get
' the Hockey and ice skating rinks, back into the best possible conditions.

� BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOA�iITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 31, 1974
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Lindblad at 8:02 p.m.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Lindblad, Tonco, Treuenfels, Simoneau, Cariolano
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
OTHERS PRESENT: Jerry Boardman, Planning Assistant
MOTION by Treuenfels, seconded by Simoneau to approve the minutes of the
December 6, 1973 meeting and December 13, 1973 meeting as written.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
1. CONTINUATION OF A CONSI�ERATION OF A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT SPECULATIVE
BUILDINGS LOCATED ON LOTS 1-12, BLOCK 4, AND LOTS 16-30, �LOCK 3,
ONAWAY ADDITION, AND THr VACATED ALL�Y IN BLOCK 3 AND THAT PORTION OF
HICKORY STREET BETiVEEN BLOCK 3 AND 4; THE SAME BEING 70, 80, AND
90-79TH WAY N.E, AND 71 AND 81-78TH tiVAY N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.
(REQUEST BY AL ZEIS, 255-94TH AVENUE N.LV., COON RAPIDS, MINNESOTA)
Mr.�A1 Zeis was present for the request.
Jerry Boardman brought forward the plans and stated he had discussed
these with Mr. Zeis. He also said that this Board had approved the location
and ground level permit for these buildings at the December 13, 1973 meeting.
�, Mr. Zeis was supposedto bring in for this meeting a parking plan, landscape
plan and side elevations.
Mr. Lindblad said that the landscape plan noted the type of trees, size
and location. Mr.'Boardman went over the landscaping plan. He noted the
change to evergreens around the door entrances and added some more trees
could be planted along these areas. He asked Mr. Zeis if he agreed on this
plan, Mr. Zeis said yes.
Mr. Tonco asked if there was something the City could do to control the
development in order to make sure it is eompleted.
Mr. Boardman said the only hold the City has is a bond on the landscaping.
It has no.hold over the completion of the buildings or blacktopping. If
Mr. Zeis cannot feasibly finish the other three buildings, the City would re-
quest a completion of landscaping to finish off the areas where the blacktopping
and three buildings should have been. Mr. Boardman suggested they stipulate
that if after two years (1-1-76), and the project cannot be completed, Mr. Zeis
would come before this Board again with a final landscap,ing plan. The Board
agreed to this stipulation.
The Board asked about the parking plan. Mr. Zeis said what was shown on
the plan was the one they would use. Some stalls had been changed, but his
mortgage company insists the parking be allowed for each building location
and that he get an easement for the parking which would state that when or if
� each building is sold separately, the buildings wo_ld share all of the exits
� � and parking spaces. This easement would prevent any one building owner frora
not allowing the others to use a certain exit or parking area. He said he
realized this was an unusual request by his mortgage company and his lawyer
will be drawing up the easements.
, �',1
BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCONII�IITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 31, 1974-P�. 2
�
Mr. Boardman said the City does not need this easement, but is a private
situation. Mr. Zeis said tlie City of Fridley would not be involved at all
other than requesting it be done.
Mr. Tonco asked if the parking was adequate. Mr. Boardman said for what
the entire development shows there is enough. However, Mr. Zeis must provide
the required parking with the development of his first twa buildings (44 stalls)
according to the existing plan layout. The Board decided to make this a
stipulation. . .
Mr. Tonco asked�about the side elevations.
Mr. Boardman said he had gone over the plans with Mr. Zeis. He also said
they will be eliminating certain columns as shown on the plan and brick will
be used to "wrap" all corners on all buildings. �
The froni elevations will be alternating areas of break-off block panels,
brick panels and 8" square block panels, in earth colors. The side elevations
will be using the same material and design. The loading dock areas will be
constructed of running.bond block. h1r. Boardman felt this design,would give
the buildings and entire development the design break-up needed to make an
attractive commercial area.
Mr. Tonco asked if the pilasters will be protruding from the surface of
^ the building or if they are flush with the roof flashing. Mr. Zeis said they
will be protruding approximately 3 to 4 inches. Mr. Tonco pointed out that -
the plans did not show the pilaster protruding, and stipulated they should be
shown as such on the plans.
The Board in a general discussion went over the indoor facilities and
set up.
Mr. Boardman asked Mr. Zeis if he had given the City the easement for
the alley, Mr. Zeis said yes.
MOTION by Tonco, seconded by Simoneau to recommend to Council the approval
of the buildings according to the plans as presented this evening�and as stipu-
lated as follows:
1. Mr. Zeis get easements drawn up as requested by his mortgage
campany for the parking.
2. Shrubs around the front door entrances be changed to evergreens
and�quantity increased. �
3. The time table of two years (1-�1-76) be allowed for completion of
the entire project.
4. If, after the time period, the three remaining buildings cannot
� � be completed and more parking is required by the two buildings it
• wi ll be supplied.

a final landscape plan for the areas not developed.
6. Projection of pilasters will be shown on the plans.

.
S, MI
Mr: Frank Reese and Mr. Rudolph Dante were present for the request.
- Mr. Reese said he would be giving a brief discussion as he knew no
decision would be made this evening.
�
^ He said residential housing will be facing 63rd Avenue, 7th Street and
Mississippi Street. A line was drawn through the area to keep the natural
. buffer strip between the R-1 zone and the multiple dwelling zone. The com-
plex will contain 144 units, have 2 entrances off of 5th Street, outside
parking and 2 garages (enough parking will be provided here for each unit)
will be provided. Mr. Reese said they are working with the architect firm
Anoka County has hired for the new library. They are proposing a somewhat
modern design.made from white stucco. Mr. Reese said they are proposing
a design with a Mediterranean design. The wall material will be white stucco
- , alternating with brown stained wood panels. The front entrance doors and
combination living room windows will be overhung with adulated mission tiles
as�well as the garages. The front doors are of a heavy wood construction.
Ther.e will be a somewhat private green area in front of the building.
This green area will be depressed with berming along Sth Street and on the
side of t he apartment, the 2 garages will make up the sides. Located here
will be a swimming pool, recreation area and putting green. The area '�ehind
the apar�ment will have a pond approximately 200 feet across. Natural trees
will be left and�some more will be planted for fill-in. This area can b e used
as a picnic area. Mr. Reese said the County will have to remove some large
trees and Wall Corporation thought they might be able to replant these trees.
He also said they plan to plant full size trees in order to provide a buffer
between the R-1 zone and this complex. �
Mr. Reese went over the two types of apartments to be built. One will be
^ a one bedroom studio. This will be somewhat on the same order as an efficiency
apartment but will have different areas blocked off. There will be approxi-
mately 72 units of this type. The other 72 units will be a one bedroom plus
den. This den can be used as a den or a second bedroom.
�9
: � BUILDING STANDARJS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 31, 1974-PG. 4
Mr. Reese said this is not a child orientated complex, but more for singles
or chiYlless couples.
Mr. Reese said the garages would have the same design as the complex,
white stucco and mission tiles. Also, a sign will be located on 5th Street
directly off of 64th Avenue.
Mr. Reese asked if there are any questions.
Mr. Simoneau asked if they would be developing the R-1 area. Mr. Dante
said they had discussed this with the City and since they (Wall Corporation)
are not a residential builder, they would like to sell the land to one developer.
This would insure a more controlled effect on the construction and not a piece--
meal effect. Mr. Dante said he does have some interested parties.
Mr. Simoneau also asked what would be done to a large cluster of oak
trees. I-ie said Senior Reidel had told him that these trees were full grown
when he was a boy, around 1912. Mr. Simoneau thought it would be a shame to
waste these trees. Mr�, Dante said these trees are. on the County property,
but that he would not take them out. Mr. Reese said they will be weeding a
few unhealthy trees, also removing a retaining wall and some buildings.
A general discussion followed about the renting and use of the complex.
/'\
Mr. Boardman said he �finitely Wants cross sections through the entire
� property brought in for the February 7, 1974 meeting.
MOTION by Simoneau, seconded by Treuenfels to table this item until
the joint meeting of Board of Appeals and this Board on February 7, 1974.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Boardman asked the Board members if they wanted the b ackground infor-
mation on �e Wall Corporation (stipulations, agreements, minutes of committees)
by the February 7th meeting. The Board said they would like this material
for.study.- �

Mr. Severin Hallblade was present for the request, Mr. Hallblade said
he is on the Board of Directors for the church:
Mr. Hallblade said this will be a 2nd story addition. Mr. Tonco asked
if there were footings in the first floor for a second floor. r1r. Hallblade

Mr. Boardman checked into the parking
Mr. Tonco asked if there was concrete curbing around the parking lot as
shown on the plans. Mr. Hallblade was not sure as to what type and where
curbing was supplied. Mr. Boardman said he had talked to another Board member ,
of the church who said the plan shown here is not what is actually there.
Mr. Tonco asked�if this would be a financial hardship for the church to
put concrete curbing around the entire blacktopped area. Mr. Hallblade felt
it could be done now. Mr. Tonco asked if the church expected any type of
- future expansion. Mr. Hallblade said the only possii�lity would be making the
sanctuary larger. �
Mr. Boardman asked if Mr. Hallblade felt the church could at present
financially place the curbing now if the Board stipulated or if they would
need an approximate two year period, especially if they planned any type of
expansion. Mr. Hallblade said he had talked to the Pastor who said it would
be ideal to have it curbed.
The Board stipulated that the ahurch b e given an option; either to do
the curbing now is they so desire or have two years (2-1-76) to complete the
� curbing, at which time, if still unfeasible, the church would go before the
Board of Appeals for a variance on the curbing.

Mr. Hallblade said the addition would be matching t�.i.ck. The Board asked
if the structure wall wouLd be able to hold this weight. Mr. Hallblade said he
was not sure. The Board stipulated that if the structure is unable to hold
this type of construction, the wall can be changed, but the Board would like
to see it done this way.
Mr. Lindblad asked if there would be any wood on the exterior. Mr. Hallblade
said no, it will be constructed of brick and follow the same design as the
present sturcture. .
The Board briefly discuss�d the facilities for the handicapped. They felt
the needs can be met with no problems. Mr. Boardman said the Building Inspection
Department would work out any type of.problem with the church.
MOTION by Tonco, seconded by Simoneau, to recommend to the City Council
approval. of the addition with the following stipulations:
1. The church be given the option,of doing the curbing now or
have a two year (2-1-76) period to finish the curbing. If un-
feasible at the end of two years, the church will go before the
Baard of Appeals for a variance on the curbing.
2. If the brick wall cannot be built due to structursl reasons, the
design can be changed, but the Board would like to see something
similar to this constructed.

Mr. Boardman felt there would be no problem with the addition of the remote
teller and canopy. The design and material would match those of the present stru-
ture. All curbing, blacktopping and landscaping has been completed. Mr. Boardman
thought that painted arrows should be placed so that the traffic will have a smooth
� ^ flow. The Board agreed on this.
�
Mrs. Treuenfels�felt there might be a problem with the parking in the area of
the ne�v structure. Mr. Boardman suggested eliminating the three parking s'talls
that run parallel to the structure. Mr. Lindblad concurred with this suggestion
pointing out that in the winter time the cars would not be able to snug up to the
curb, due to the snow, as they should. This could cause some conjection here.
Mr. Lindblad also questioned the clearance height of the structure. The plan
shows ll feet of clearance. He thought that perhaps the Board could suggest to
the bank to look into the liability if someone, i.e. who tried to go through �aith
a 12 foot camper, and caused vehicle and canopy damage. He thought perhaps the
clearance should be marked. This was only a suggestion for the bank �to look into.
D40TION by Tonco, seconded by Simoneau, to recommend to Council approval of
the structure with the following stipulations:
1. Painted arrows b e placed to show a traffic flow pattern.
2. Look into the suggestion of eliminating the three parking stalls
that run parallel to the new structure.
3. Look into the suggestion of liability if canopy clearance is not marked.

OF TtiE NORTHEAST QUART�R OF THE SOUTH4VEST QUARTER OF SECTION 14, T-30, R-24,
COUNTY OF ANOKA; THE SAh1E BEING 6451-5TH STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, bIINNESOTA.
(REQUEST BY IVALL CORPORATION, 8220 NQRMANDALE_�___l�RO D_. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA. )
Mr. Frank Reese, Mr. Rudolph Dante, and`Mr. George Kiefer were present for the
reques t.
Mr. Reese said the development will include 23 residential lots, outdoor parking,
two garages, recreation and picr.ic area, drainage pond and a 144 unit apartment complex.
The picnic area will keep,many.of the natural clusters of trees.
Mr, Arvil Miller, 525 Bennett Drive, spoke up from the audience and asked where
the woods development would be. Mr. Reese pointed out that it would be to the north
of the complex. Mr. Miller said there were no trees there,. r4r. Reese said yes there
are some trees here and additional planting would'be done.
�. Mr. Reese went on to the drainage plan. He sa�d the flow from Sth St.�et and
63rd Avenue will be picked up off of 63rd, drain down into a 12 acre foot drainage
pond, from there any overflow will be taken through a pipe to 7th Street and
Bennett Drive area and into the present storm sewer system. He said the 12 acre
foot pond will allow for a one in a hundred years flood and also a one in a tien
� year flood frequency.
Mr. Tonco asked how much water this pond would ho1d. Mr. Reese aaid they have
left it at its natural level. Mr. Tonco also asked about the care of the pond and
how they would mainiain a certain depth level. He said that Wall Corporation
had said at a previous meeting that they would maintain a certain leve� in the pond.
He also pointed out that during the dry season the level will fall somewhat lower
and asked if they would use the City water during these dry periods to maintain this
level. Also if there was some possibility of h`aving a private well. Mr. Reese
said this was true, but since the natural level was determined before, it will lie
� around 839 to 841 feet. They feel that the pond would keep its own natural level.
They would not use City water for keeping this pond at a certain level, b ut rather
drainage from rain and water would do so.
Mr. Tonco asked if they would b e using the drainage for watering purposes and
not use City water. Mr. Reese said this had been discussed with the City, and in
particular with the City Attorney, and it was everyones opinion that the City could
not restrict this on one complex and not the others in the City.
Mr. Tonco said it was not a restriction but rather a suggestion.
Mr. Reese said it was felt the pond would maintain its own level and they would
not have to use City water. A1so an aerator will be supplied on the south end of
the ponds to circulate the water in order to keep it clean and fresh.
/1 Mr. Reese went over the parking. He said they have supplied 152 stalls inside
the garages and 76 stalls outside, or a total of 228 stalls. Mr. Boardman said that
252 stalls are required for a complex this size, but this will be taken up with�
the Board of Appeals. hir. Lindblad asked if these 228 stalls would be in a percentage
/1
�-. �,
� �
BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOAM�IITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1974-PG. 3
ratio that wou�d be needed for each unit, considering the number of persons per
unit and accounting for visitors. Mr. Dante said for the type of renter they will
have,in the complex, they feel it will b e adequate. Wall Corporation feels it is
more important to have the added indoor parking then the extra outdoor parking as
required. However, he did say if they are wrang on their assumption of parking
needs, they would want to add the needed parking. It is only an advantage to them
to have plenty of parking. Mr. Dante said l.S stall per unit would be reQuired
for the efficiency apartments and if they have to put more in they will have to take
space from the private green area in front. •
Mr. Reese went on to say the garages will be approximately l00 feet off of
5th Street and the top of the garages will be level with 5th Street.
Mr. Arvil Miller asked about the ponding area. He said he had tried to keep
up with the development of this area and noted th at the pond was different then
what was originally p2anned.
Mr. Dante said the change was due : to the fac�t that the original plan was
designed for a 155 unit townhouse development. Their (Wall) engineers and the City
Engineering Department have gone over the plans and decided what the new plan called
for a�nd had it drawn accordingly.
Mr. Miller said he did not widerstand the idea of the drainage pond. When he
� bought his land in Fridley and paid for his share of the storm sewer, which he did
not mind, he was told a storm sewer system was needed. Now Wall Corporation comes
in takes this land does not have to put in a storm sewer system but just a drainage
pond. He also said Columbia Heights put in a drainage pond and it did not work,
a small girl drawnd �it and they ended up blocking it off.
Mr. Dante said the City reauested the drainage pond. He said this pond is
costing the Wall Corporation more money than what a storm sewer system would because
in a storm sewer system the cost would be passed onto the residents of Fridley whose
storm water could flow into it. In the case of the drainage po�d, only Wa11 is
being charged entirely for the development of the pond. Mr. Boardman said a new
storm sewer system would affect all of the residents around the development and
those north to Rice Creek•
Mr. Miller said he realizes this b ut the property was let go b ecause the property
owners did not want to pay the assessments and now Wal1 Corporation picked up the
property and will be using the present storm sewer system without paying for it.
Mr. Lindblad said this Board does not have the background or the mechanical
details on the drainage pond, but felt Mr. T4iller should talk to the City Engineer
and City Fathers if he has any further questions. He also said this will be a
holding pond to catch'the sudden laxge amounts of water, hold it and.gradually let
it go down the storm sewer. This will prevent a sudden=flood through the storm
sewer system and cause damage. •
� Mr. Dante felt he should talk to the City Engineer on this plan, as this is what
tfi e City is requesting and it is costing the Wall Corporation more money in eve�y
aspect. .

BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUAItY 7, 1974-PG. 4
Mr. Boardman said there is a stipulation on the Wall Corporation stating if in
the future a larger storm sewer system is needed, they will be assessed their fair
share�of the cost. Mr. Niiller said he then would be paying twice for the same type
of system. Mr. Boardman said it must be remembered that not all of the water in
this area is from Wall Corporation, but also comes off of 5th and 7th Street.
Mr. LindUlad said there is nothing this Board can do about the cost, assess-
ments or design of a system for this area. He appreciates Mr. Miller's point of
view but felt it should be taken up with the appropriate City staff inembers.
Mr. Reese presented a plan showing a cross section down the middle from 5th
Street to 7th Street or west to east. Starting at 5th Street there is an area
of 100 feet, goes down to the private recreation area, (surrounded by the garages)
comes up to the apartment complex, levels off to the elevation of 841.5 feet for
the pond and cames up again with a 120 foot stretch for the R-1 1ots.
Mr. Miller asked for a north-south section. Mr. Reese said he did not have one,
but said it would b e fairly level. Drop gradually to the pond off of the lots on
Mississippi Street and up again to the Iots on 63rd Avenue. Also trees will b e.
planted in this area between the two zones for a buffer strip. All of the R-1 back
lots will drain into the pond.
Mr. Miller asked if the single family homes are still being planned for. Mr. Reese
.� said most definitely, that phase of the development is a very important part of the
total development. �
Mr. Dante said part of the agreement with the City is to have this area platted
with 23 R-1 lots, the library and their complex.
Mr. Miller asked who would be building the xesidentail homes. Mr. Dante said
they do not build single family dwellings but would like to sell the land to one
developer in order to insure a control on the building of these homes. He said he
did have some interested parties.
Mr. Miller said he did not realize there would be a 120 foot residential stretch
between 7th Street, Mississippi Street and 63rd Avenue before you get�to their
complex. This was why he was questioning the pond earlier.
Mr. Reese went over the exterior of the building. He said it would have a
Mediterranean design, white stucco walls with brown stained wood panels around the
living room windows. The bedroom windows wi11 b e surrounded by white stucco. The
roof and can�py over the l�ingroom windows will be a terracotta red tile. The front
doors will protrtlde out from the main building and will have a heavy carved wood
deisgn. . • .
Mr, Lindblad asked if they would consider using an egg shell color for the
exterior walls instead of a stark white. This would keep the exterior from showing
an y rust stains from the City water which may splash on the building. Mr. Reese
� said this was a good suggestion as dust will be splashed up onto the walls from
rain and watering. He said they had not really decided on that yet, but would
consider it very much. �

Mr. Reese went over the inside oi the complex. The front.entrance will be a
large spacious lobby;'a stairway, elevator and mailboxes will be located here.
Mr. R eese said the elevator will be large to handle large pieces of furniture.
A recreation room will be on one level with a card room directly above it.
These rooms can be rented out for private party use. Laundry rooms are provided
on each floor.
A storage area will be provided for each unit. A locker, 10 feet wide, 4 feet
high and 4 feet deep will be situated above each assigned p arking space in the �
garages. Also there will be one large storage room on the 3rd level and 2 smaller
storage xooms on the lst and 2nd levels. Large closets are supplied in each unit.
Each unit will have its own control over the heat, air-conditioning and ven�ilation.
The apartment will have 3 designs for the units.
1. Studio - sleeping.area, living room, kitch en and eating area,
and bathroom, approximately 440 sauare feet.
� 2. One�Bedroom Plus Den - master bedroom, living room, dining area,
kitchen, bathroom and a room which can be used as a den or partioned
off as a 2nd bedroom, approximately 840 square feet.
� 3. One Bedroom - same as number 2, b ut without the den/bedroom area.
No plan was shown for this unit.
Mrs. Treuenfels felt that the units were small in size, especially if a renter
has guests in, Mr. Dante said this was the reason for a party room. Mrs. Treuen£els
felt that since these were such small sized units that so many of them would not
be needed. Mr. Dante said they have had studies done and 1 bedroom apartments are
just not going as they use to. They feel the studio and 1 bedroom plus den will
work much better. A variance will be needed on the n��r of efficiency units
allowed in tihe comp Lex.
Mr. Reese said the windows will be double paned for better insulation, a vapor
barrier and to conserve on energy. Mrs. Treuenfels felt the one window in the living.
room and one in the b edroom was not enough. It was her opinion that the unit would
be dark and dingy. Mr. Reese explained the window area meets the requirements of
the City code and that NSP does not really favor any larger window areas, in view
of the energy crisis.
Mrs. Treuenfels felt th at more windows and larger units would be much b etter.
Mr. Lindblad pointed.out that an apartment for most dwellers is not the same as the
home that she was used to, it is more or less sleeping quarters.
Mr. Lindblad asked about the garage. Mr. Reese said it will be constructed of
the same type of material as the complex. Mr. Lindblad asked if they would be doing
samething to the roof so the tenants on the 2nd and 3rd floors do not have to look
^ at a black tar pitch roof. Mr. Dante said they are looking into a red gravel of
some type. A4r. Boardman asked if this top would have texture as w ell as design and
celor. Mr. R�se said it wi11 be like red crushed rocks or gravel.

Mxs. Treuenfels asked about the width of the stalls. A�r. Reese said they are
10 x 20 feet. He also said the driveways will be within the development for more
control on them, and the 2 sides facing the north and south will have 2 overhung
garage doors. The garages will have a middle dividing wall.
Mr. Boardman asked about an exit and entrance door for the people for the
garages. Mr. Reese said they will be adding a couple of feet to allow for such
doors. Also 2 fire doors will b e placed in the middle wall to allow walk through
access from one side of the garage to another. �

Mr. Lindblad asked if there would be air vents for the garages, and if so they

.The- Board asked abaut garbage control. Mr. Reese said 2 dumpsters will be
located on the 2 rear sides of the garage, one at each end, Daily pick-up will
be provided.
^ Mr. Boardman said these dumpsters would have to be screened and located in order
to allow for fire trucks to make the corners and have a 18 foot radius. Mr. Dante
� agreed to this.
Mr. Boardman also pointed out that the parking will have to be 5 feet off of
the garages. He suggested 6" x 18" poured cancrete curbing with low maintenance
material between the curbing and garage. Mr. Boardman asked what type of planting
there would be between the R-1 zone and R-3 zone along the driveway. He wanted ta
know if there would be planting or.a fence.
�
Mr. Dante said he preferred planting, a fence is hard to keep up. Mr. Reese
said the parking and driving has been set up so no car lights wi ll shine-into the
R-1 windows. They would like to plant a 5 foot high, year around solid evergreen
hedge. Mr. Boardman said for planting, a 15 foot strip is needed (because of the
different zone.s involved). They have only a 7 foot strip and would have to go.be-
fore Board of Appeals. If a fence was put up no variance would b e needed. The
Board felt they would prefer planting, but would have to wait for the Board of Appeals
decision. Mr. Boardman said the 15 foot planting strip would keep cars off any
planting.
Mr. Lindblad asked about the driveway along the library. Mr. Dante said they
will work with the County to fix this side up. Mr. Boardman said a possible re-
taining wall would be needed because Wall's driveway is 3 to 5 feet lower than the
library's. Mr. Reese said they would like to work this out with the County. The
Board agreed to this. ,
The Board asked about the landscape plan. Mr. Dante said they had no set
plan as yet. They would prefer to wait. until some type of construction is up, so
they can better visualize what is needed. Mr. Boardman said this Board should see
��
iG. �
� BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCONIl�fITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1974-PG. 7
this final plan before Council approves it. Mr. Dante said fine, a bond will be
placed on them by the City, so the landscaping will have to be done before a
Certificate of Occupancy is given.
Mrs. Cariolano asked about a buffer strip between the R-1 and R-3 zones.
She felt that no one would want to look at the b ackside of an apartment. Mr. Dante
said it would not b e a solid buffer strip, but one to soften the look of the apart-
ment. Mr. Boardman said some planting should be provided on the east side of the
pond in order to break up the top view of the apartment from the homes and also to
give a well landscapsd garden type appearance of the ponding area to follow the
Mediterranean concept.
.The Board decided to wait on the landscape pl� as requested by Wall Corpor�tion,
but final plans must be brought back to this Board for approval. Also the sign in
front of the complex will be included in the landscaping plan.
Mr. Lindblad asked about lighting. Mr. Dante said 2 front lights will be by
the entrane� a heavy wrought iron type. Mrs. Cariolano asked about'foot lights on
the paths. Mr. Dante said-they would like to postpone this plan also.until the ,
complex is in and the landscaping is. done.
Mr. Boardman asked about lights around the picnic area and bar-b-ques. Mr. Dante
said they would like to wait on this until the landscaping is dane and also they
/� have not decided on the utility they wi11 use to light them. Neither NSP or the gas
company is to anxious to�take on new customers with the present energy situation.
The Board agreed to handle this the same way as the landscaping plan.
Mrs. Cariolano asked if this would be an open public park area. Mr. Dante said
no, they did not want it this way.
Mr..Lindblad asked if there would be any equipment on the roof. Mr. Reese said
none, only air vents.
Mr. Boardman asked about the outdoor recreation facilities. He questioned the
waterfalls. Mr. Reese said they would like to put a rock type waterfall in the
private green area. This would have an aerator to keep the water fresh. Mr. Dante
said.they are also thinking of putting a spray type waterfal2. with aerator by the
front entrance. �
Mr. Boardman asked about the putting green. Mr. Dante said they want to put
one in with a Monsanto terf, around the swimming pool area. Mr. Boardman also asked
about a tennis court. Mr. Dante said definitely there would not b e one constructed.
According to the magazine, "Professional Builder", tennis is dropping in popularity
very fast; only in an extensive community development plan does it p ay to put a
court in. Mr. Dante said he would rather use the money for other uses, such as making
the apartments more plush. .
/°'1 � Mrs. Wahlberg from the Board of Appeals, read in the Planning Commission minutes
an indoor pool would b e provided. Mr. Dante said the minutes did not say a definite
yes to having an indoor pool. Mrs. Wahlberg corrected herself saying the minutes
read, to encourage indoor recreation, including a swimming pool. Mr. Dante said
' again studies show ind�oor pools are not used as much as to make them worthwhile.
Mr. Dante also went on to say the saunas are another area which show a bad

Mr. Dante said at their Friday Apartment Complex(?), even the tenants have come up
and asked why an indoor pool Mr. Dante said with an indoor pool you get a chlorine
smell and dampness in the building. Also when people go swimming they do so to be
outside in the warm sun.
MOTION by Tonco, seconded by Cariolano to recommend approval to the City
Council construction of the development with the following stipulations and also
to follow the decisions made by Board of Appeals:
1. Landscaping plan be brought to this Board before finalizing it on
the development.
Z. Lighting plan b e brought to this Board before finalizing it on the
development. ,
3. Drainage plan be used as set up by the Engineering Department.
4. If a future storm sewer system is needed to drain this area
adequately, Wall Corporation will pay their fair share.
5. Parking stall sizes and amount needed comply with the Board of
/� Appeals decision.
6. Look into the suggestion of using an egg shell color for the
exterior walls and not white.
7. Interior garage wall will have 2 fire doors to allow for_passage
from one side to Lhe other.
8. Screened garbage areas will provide room for firetruck access.
� 9. Parking will be 5 feet off of the gaxage, separation made by a
� poured concrete curb, 6" x 18", area between the curb and buildirig
will have a low maintenance material.
10. Work out driveway plan on north side with Anoka Gounty, possible
retaining wall will be needed.
11. If pZanting is used for a buffer on the south side driveway, they
will have to. go before the Board of Appeals for a variance (from 15
feet to 7 feet).

�REQUEST BY THE WALL CORPORATION, 8200 NORMANDALE ROADi MINNEAPOLIS, MINN�SOTA.)
M�TION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to waive reading the public heating notice.
Upon a voice vote, there-being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. Rudolph Dante, and Mr. Frank Reese, architect, were present to present the
request.
/'\ Mr. Reese stated the reason they have used the tri-spacer(efficiency) as this is
the type of housing that is needed. He said this type unit has the rUOms flowing
together but it has more open space. He said in the apartments that have the
efficiency units, there has been no problem at all in renting them. He said the
unit contains a sleeping alcove, kitchen, living/dining area, and bathroom. He
said the square footage for each unit is not exact as the living/dining area is
larger in some units.
Mr. Dante stated they have designed this, instead of the stereo type unit with
small rooms, with open space, but where the renter could get the feeling of
separation in rooms by putting up de�orator beads, etc., for some type of cut off.
Mr. Dante stated the 1 bedroom plus den unit could be changed into a 2 bedroom
unit by having the mountabl� wall installed between the den and living room. He
sard this would change the den into the second bedroom but it would be at the
option of the renter.
Mr. Crowder questioned the need for studio units. He asked what draws the need
and who is:it needed by. He said he could see it needed near a college but why
in the middle of Fridley.
Mr. Dante explained the market determines what is needed. He said the Darrel Farr
development is a perfect example. �ie said the �fficiency and 2 bedroom units are
rented already with waiting lists. He e.�cplained two people will go together to
rent a 2 bedroom unit but if the efficiency is priced at about half that amount,
� a person ►nay say his privacy is worth paying a little extra.
Mrs. Wahlberg aslced if the square footage in the unit isn't relative as the
Darrel Farr development has approximately 100 square feet more per unit. She
Tha Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of February 7, 1974 ___ Page 2 ��-
said if she was a prospective xenter, she would compare prices plus square footage.
/'1 Mr. Reese said the extra square footage in the Darrel Farr development was not
because of marketability. He said they were made larger because of others concerns;
one of them being the F.H.A. He said the extra space doesn't ma.ke them that much
better.
Mr. Dante said he didn-'t think the square footage in a unit was the primary
reason someone would rent it. He said he would look at the locality in relation
to bus stops, stores, etc.,, before the square footage.
Mrs. Gabel asked if most of the renters tend to be transient since it is mostly
singles that will be renting these units.
Mr. Dante stated he didn't think so as in their other apartment they have some
efficiency renters with Z yeax leases. He said they have more problems with
people moving out af 1 and 2 bedroom units.
Mrs. Gabel asked how they would control two people from moving into an efficiency;
as a young married couple that doesn't have much money. Mr. Dante said he didn't
think they would even look at an efficiency.
Chairman Arigans said he felt a young couple might be more interested in a new
efficiency with carpeting and appliances and the low rent price rather than an
older 1 bedroom apartment.
Jerry Boardman stated Darrel Farr has not been renting their efficiencys to
� married couples and the Wali Corporation also has a certain amount of control
over their renters.
� Mr. Dante stated their building is made up of 72 modules, 1300 square feet to a
module, and two units in a module. He said 30 modules would be tri-spacers, 30
modules would be l bedroom plus dens, and 12 modules would be 1 bedroom, making
a to�al of 144 units. He said using the Code requirement for square footage for
a 1 bedroom unit (525 sq. ft.) and l-2 bedroom unit (625 sq. ft.) you come up
with 1150 squaxe feet. He said for 2-1 bedroom units the Code says 105A square
feet is required. He said they have 130D square feet for two of their units
� which is over what the Code requires.
Mx. Crowder asked how they came up with a 1300 square foot module. Mr. Dante
answered that each module is 48 feet by 26 fPet. He said they came up with this
because of cost structures. He said the Co�e says 1 efficiency per floor when
you have 4 to 8 units when effect it would become 25% to 50% of the units.
Jerry Boardman said he thought the intent of the Code was to allow 25°!0 of the
units to be efficiency.
Mr. Dante said if that was the case, 25% of his units would be 36 al.lowable
efficiencys.
Jerry Boardman said 25% would be more reasonable but Wall Corgoration would
still need a variance on their proposed 60 units.
^
Mr. Crowder asked if Mr. Dante was saying that he has never before run across
an Ordinance limiting the type of units in an apartment. Mx. Dante said that
was correct.

The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of February 7, 1974 Page 3 -�
Chairman Drigans said, if he heard right, Mr. Dante was going to build his
� apartment according to the market and not according to the Code requirements.
Mr. Dante said he was ignorant of such an ordinance and that he had never heard
of such a thing before.
�
^
Chairman Drigans stated that in the past meetings concerning this property,
Mr. Dante stated he had a I80 unit apartment on 4 acres of land, and that this
apartment had 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units in it. He added that here there are
8 acres of land and the building still has to have variances.
Mr. Dante stated he has never said he wanted-ta build 3 bedroom apartments.
Chairman Drigans referred to the joint meeting the Board had with the Planning
Commission where Mr. Dante stated that he would like to build the sazne apartment
in Fridley that he has out south. Mr. Dante said he would have liked that but
he would have changed the 3 bedroom units to 2 bedroom and tri-space units. �
Mrs. Wahlberg asked if the square footage was similar between the pxoposed units
and the existing building. Mr. Dante said they were quite close.
Mr. Crowder said then the existing building is where the 1300 square feet
comes frorn. Mr. Dante said yes, somecahat, but a•11 things have to be taken into
consideratian.
Jerry Boardman said he felt in these modules, the size of the smaller units could
be increased by deereasing the size of the two bedroomeunits.
Mr. Dante replied that�could be done but. cutting down the two bedroom units
would ma.ke it totally unappealing to him. He said you can only change them
so much because the rental price would also have to change. He said the price
range determines the marketability. He said you start pushing a.n efficiency
into a one bedroom and you get a one bedroom price.
Mrs. Wahlberg said the public hearing notice states 72 efficiency units and
72- 2 bedroom units. She asked if they are now changing this to 60 efficiency
units, 60- 1 bedroom.plus dens, and 24- 1 bedroom units. Mr. Dante said they
would like to go with the change.
Chairman Drigans said he felt the Wal1 Corporation was trying to change the
Code to meet the building instead of building the building to meet the Code.
He said according to this plan, there will also have to be variances requested
on the garking and also on the laundry area.
Mr. Dante said he felt the Code is outdated'and should be done over and brought
up to date.with the City. He said the laundry space required is enough to open
a Chinese Taundry. He said the times have changed and so should the Codes. He
said he feels the parking that is being pro.vided is adequate according to their

MINUTES: D�CEbZBER 19, 1973
MOTION by French, seconded by Christensen, that the Plats

minutes of the December 19, 1973 minutes as written. Upon a
voice vote, aZl voting aye, the motion carried unanimou-sly.
l. CONSTDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT, P.S. #74-01, RICE
CR�EK ESTt1TES, BY GOODCO, INC., AND PINE TREE BUILDERS:
A replat of Lot 10, Auditor's Subdivision No. 22, except
the North 260 feet thereof; and Lot 9, Auditor's Subdivision
No. 22, except the North 260 feet of the West l32 feet,
located between Rice Creek Road and 6Tst Avenue N.E. and
West of Benjamin Street N.E.
Mr. Edwin Dropps, Mr. Roland Goodroad and Mr. & Mrs. Theodore
�'heilmann were present.
Mr. Clar.k said this plat has been revised to include a park
dedication. It is basically the same except we have taksn out
the short cul-de-sac street. Mr. Dropps has agreed to the concept,
but there hasn't been any agreement on the price because this will
be more than 10% of the plat. This park dedication will make' nine
less lots on the plat.
Mr. & Mrs. Theilmann are fee owners of a parcel 132 feet wide
and 627 �eet deep that starts at Rice Creek Road, Mr. Clark stated an.d
that tYie Thei.lmann's haven't decided if they want to plat their
property at this time. • �
Mr. Clark said that this plat follows, in some degree, the road
study that was done in this area about�five years ago, and from the
staff's standpoint, if Mr. Dropps and the Theilmann's can come to an
agreement, this plat does meet all the code requirements for lat size
and follows close enough the established street patterns. There will
be some problems with the perim�ter lots but Mr. Dropps said they
would be going to the Board of Appeals for a front yzrd variance from
35 feet to 25 feet on the lots platted along 61.st Avenue N.E. 7'here
is no right of way dedicated for(`�lst Avenue on about half of this

street on the plat. Mr. Clark said he didn't know if the people
South of this plat on 61st would want to dedicate for this street.
The length of the cul-de-sac could be chanqed on 6lst Avenue.
Mr. Harris asked the radius on this cul-de-sac. Mr. Clark'
said it was 50 feet. Mr. French said this was about minimum size
for a cul-de-sac.
Mr. Clark said the park dedication is about 22 acres, approxi.mately
330 feet x 350 feet. He said the area dedicated for a park can be
placed anywhere on the plat, but they would want an area of at least
300 feet x 300 feet so tYiey have room for a ball diamond and other
facilities.
Mr. Harris askec� the total acr_eage of this plat. Mr. Christensen
said it statesl7.5 on the application. Mr. Goodroad said he just
guessed at the acreage. Mr. Harris said l00 of this would be 1.75
acres for park dedication.
Mr. Clark said this is going to the Parks & Recreation Commission
later this month, and if they, or the Planning Commission, squelch
the park dedication, the nine lots can be added back into the plat.
� Mr. Frenc:h said
in the vacinity and
greater need.
the park study does show a need for a park
with this area being platted, there will be a
Mr. Clark said there is another parcel to be developed by
Mike O' Bannon next to this parcel, but i� is not conducive for
park land because it is not level. Mr. Harris asked when Mr.
p'Bannon would be giving land or money for park dedication. Mr.
Clark said it would be in the third phase of his development.
Mr. Dropps said that they felt this was a workable plat. We
have not come to.any agreement with the Theilmann's. In'fact, we
are at a stalemate. This is a big problem as far as the plat is
concerned. Mr. Harris said the TYaeilma�� parcel wi11 take a big chunk.
out of this plat. Mr. Dropps said they do have some alternate plans.
Mr. Theilmann said he wouldn't get as many lots going along with
this plat as he would if he platted alone. This plat makes �wo lots
much deeper than�is necessary. I do not feel that I want to plat at
this time. �
Mr. Dropps said Mr. Theilmann's parcel is only 132 feet which
would plat into two 6G foot lots. We could sell�hirn I7 feet to make
these standard size lots, or do some trading of property. ,
^ Mr. French said that if these lots were platted as 66 foot lots,
he would not be in favor of app1ovzng lots that were below the minimum
front footage. �

Mr. Theilmann said if he could purchase up to 18 feet from the
petitioners, at the right price, his lots would meet the minimum
requirements. He said the way he would want to plat his property,
if and when he did, would be into �ight lots. He said the way his
property is platted on this proposed plat, he would have to put in
one street and a half street to develop the balance of his property
that is not included in this p1at, otherwise, he would end up with
two lots 75 feet x 230 feet deep.
Mr. Harris asked the petitioner what alternate plans he had
without the Theilmann parcel.
Mr. Dropps gave a tenative explation of how this could be
alternately plattEd. -
Mr. Meissner said he did not like streets jogging at intersections,
he much preferred straight intersections because it caused less of
a traffic problem. Mr. French said that he thought in this particular
area there wouldn't be too much traffic on these streets.
. Mr. Dropps said it does create a problem if we have to plat
around the Theilmann parcel.
Mr. Meissner said there was no way approval could be given to
this plat when the two praperty owners can't agree:
Mr. Christensen asked how they could submit a preliminary plat
when they didn't own all the land being platted. Mr. Goodroad said
they have been negotiating with the Theilmann's and so they had their
engineer include this parcel in the plat. They have b�en negotiating
to either buy land from the Theilmann's or plat it all together,
regardless of ownership.
Mr. Harris said that as there has been no agreement between the
property owners, we have no alternative but to ask the petitioner
to propose a new plat, excluding the Theilmann parcel.
Mr. Harris asked Mr.Clark that if the Theilmann's were agreeable
to platting, if they could accept a plat with two fee owners. Mr.
Clark said they could, but there would have to be some exchanging
of property so that each fee owner would own complete lots. You
couldn't have two fee owners of one lot.
Mr. Dropps said that if they developed their plat under the
supposition that Theilmann's would be platting later, the question
is if they will ever plat. •
Mrs. Theilman said they have no plans at this time. They were
thinking about the future and their interest was in doing what. was
^ best for themselves, not what was best for someone alse.
Mr. Dropps said to make this plat work, they would have �c> have
street dedication from the Theilmann's.

Plats & Subs Str & Util. Subcommittee-Meeting - February 13, 1974
Page 4
� Mr. Meissner said that the P7_ats & Subdivisions-Streets &
Utilities Subcommittee meeting was not the place to negotiate on
this property. Until an agreement was reached between the two
property owners, whether they both'platted or not, no action can
be taken on this plat.
Mr. Clark said the City staff could help the petitioner draw
up an alternate plan, and as far as the park dedication, it is
flexible where it can be placed on the plat.
Mr. Dropps asked if they could bring in two preiiminary plats,�
one with the Theilmann parcel and one without and get approval for
either/or. Mr. Clark said that would be possible. Mr. Meissner
said he would like to consider just one plat.
Mr. Harris asked how long it wou.lc� be befor�_the petitioner`s could
have another plat drawn up, or come to some kind of an agreement on
what they would be platting?
Mr. Dropps said they will have to make a decision in the next
couple of days and could have a plat ready by the first of next week.
Mr. Harris asked when they would like to start building in this
area. �Mr. Goodroad said they would like to start tomorrow. There
is a sewer and water project gaing in North of Rice Creek Road, and
/1 if we can get this plat approved, the sewer and water for this devel-
opment can be added on to this project.
Mr. French said this plat meets all the requirements as far as
lot size and other criteria, so he didn't think it would take too
long to review this plat when a decision was reached on what they
could plat.
MOTION bg Meissner, seconded by French, that the Plats & Sub-
divisions-Streets & UtiZities Subcommittee continue the consideration
of a preliminary plat, P.S. #74-01, Rice Creek Estates, bz� Goodco, Inc.,
and Pine Tree Builders, to replat Lot 10, Auditor's Subdivision No. 22,
except the North 260 feet thereof, and Lat 9, Auditor's Subdivision No.
22, except the North 260 feet of the West I32 feet, located between
Rice Creek Road and 62st_ Avenue N.E. and West of Benjamin Street N.E.,
unti.Z February 20, 1974, subject to the read.iness of the petitioner
to consider a revised plat at that time. Upon a voice vote, a1I voting
aye, the motion carried unanimousZy.
Mr. Mike O'Bannon appeared at the meeting after the petitioner's
had left, to check on the alignment of the streets in the proposed
plat to see how they caould line up with Phase 111 of his development.
2. DESIGNATE l.11 MILES OF STATE AID ROADS
�^ Mr. Clark said there was a memorandum in the ag�nda explaining
how the l.11 miles were determined and a priority list by the Engineer-
ing Department, where they feel th� need is there, and could get
agreement from the State. There is no combination of streets that
will come up to l.11 miles.
��:.:
Plats & Subs.-Str & Ui�il. Subcommittee Nleeting-February 13, 1974
Page 5
� Mr. Christ�nsen asked if these priorities listed were all
existing streets. Mr. Clark said they were except Main Street from
83rd to 85th was not open.
Mr. Harris asked if we can get State aid on a street that is not
open. Mr. Clark said yes, in fact you get more State aid because
funds are available from the beginning.
Mr. Harris asked if it was easier to get State aid on residential
or commercial streets? Mr. Clark said it didn't matter. .
Mr. Clark said the City puts in the road but the Siate subsidizes
it. Mr. Christensen asked if the State maintained it? Mr. Clark
said the city rnaintains it, but the State pays.us to do it.
�
Mr. Christensen asked if the State subsidized streets because
the state requirements made the street more expensive to install. Mr.
Clark answered yes and said the City was allowed to designate 20%
of its streets as 5tate aid, and we are one of the few communities that
have been able to stay close to this figure.
Mr. Meissner said Yie would like to wait on the desa.gnation of
Main Street from 83rd to 85th for anotlier year to see how this area
develops, so he would like the priority to be changed on this. Mr.
^ Clark said they have had many calls on this area, and they could set
the priorities the way they wanted, anc� if something broke in this
area bef_ore Council approves the priority list, it could always be
. changed. �
Mr. Harris said he agreed with Mr. Meissner in that the first
priority should be made the third priority. Mr. Christensen concurred.
MOTION by Christensen, seconded by French, that the PZats &
Subdivisions-Streets & Uti.Zities Subcommittee recommend to the PZanning
Commission that the priority for designation of 1.13 miles of State
Aid Streets be (I) Main Street - Osborne Road to 79th Av�nue (p.36
miles), (2) Commerce Lane - 73rd Avenue N.E. to Osborne Road (0.44
mi.Zes), (3J Main Street - 83rd Avenue N.E. to 85th Avenue N.E. (0.39
mi.Zes), (4) Benjamin Street - Rice Creek Road to Gardena Avenue (0.51
miies), (5) Jackson Street - 73rd Avenue N.E. to Osborne Road (0.5Q
miles. Upon a voice vote, aZ1 voting aye, the motion carried unan= _
imously.
Chairman Harris adjourned the meeting at 9:00 P.M.

N�MO FROr4: Richard N. Sobiech, Assistant Engineer
DATE: Februray 7, 1974
SUBJECT: Designation of 1.11 Miles of City Streets to Municipal
State Aid Street System.
The City of Fridley Municipal State Aid Street (MSAS) System is
currently 0.62 miles less than the amount of mileage allowed under the
MSAS program. Also, Anoka County Board of Commissioners has approved
the acquisi�ion of Mississippi Street - Central Avenue N,E. to Stinson
Boulevard (Mississippi Street is currently designated MSAS) to their
county highway system. This acquisition by Anoka County will entail
a request by Fridley of the Minnesota Highway Department to revoke
Mississippi Street from the Fridley MSAS System. The request for rev-
ocation will be processed in March, 1974 and will result in an
additional 0.49 miles for a total of 1.11 miles of City streets which
can be designated MSAS.
In preliminary discussions with the Minnesota Highway Department
District 5 State Aide Engineer, it was decided that the following streets
are MSAS designation possibilities:
STREET
MILES
Main Street - 83rd Avenue N.E. to 85th Avenue N.E. 0.39
Main Street - Osborne Road to. 79th Avenue N.E. 0.36
Commerce Lane - 73rd Avenue N.E. to Osborne Road Q.44
Benjamin Street - Rice Creek Road to Gardena Avenue 0.51
Jackson Street - 73rd Avenue N.E, to Osborne Road 0.50
The streets are listed in preferential order from top to bottom. This
order was selected based on streets which are most likely to be approved
for MSAS designation by the S�ate Aid Office. Since the Fridley street
system is quite stable and certain policies of the State Aid Office:xestrict
other City streets from designation the Engineering Department concurs with
the above listing. Though some of the streets on the list have recently
been improved (Commerce Lane, Benjamin Street and Main Street from 77th
to 79th), they are not built to MSAS standards and therefore a partial a-
mount of money needs would be obtained rather than a total amount of money
needs.
With the Fridley street system not being able to expand, it is becoming
increasingly difficult to predict streets which will be approved for MSAS
designation, therefore, improved streets not to State Aid standards will
need to be considered for designation in order to receive any MSAS funds.

Virgil Herrick, City Attorney
Darrel Clark, Community Development Administrator
MEMO DATE: February 8, 1974
RE: (1) Sign Ordinance
(2) ZOA #74-02
(1} Section 214.112 of our City Code states:
Non-conforming advertising signs existing on the effective
date of this ordinance shall become non-conforming uses and
shall be discontinued on or before the dates listed below,
unless the required Special Use Permit is obtained. �
(1) Free standing and wall signs: September 15, 1974.
We are interpreting this to mean that each and every billboard
constructed propr to September 1969 must now either be removed
or get approval for the existance through the special use permit
process.
Since only four of our twenty seven billboards have special use
� permits, obviously we are going to have a magnitude of requests
with many that do not meet the standards set forth in the sign
ordinance.�
The Planning Commission and the Board of Appeals as well as the
staff, would like to meet with yau before thE:y are required to
react to any requests forthcoming, to ask you questions that they
have, related to this subject.
(2) Can the Planning Commission make a recom�ndation to grant a
special use permit on a parcel of ground that notices were sent
out for a hearing on rezoning rather than special use.-
Example:
Lots l& 2 are zoned R-l. Lots 3,4, and 5 are zoned M-1,
under the same ownership.
The Planning Commission held a hearing on rezoning Lots 1
and �2 from R-1 to M-1. Can the Planning Commission �ecommend
denial of rezoning and recommend approval of a special use permit
for a parking lot on the R-1 lots without holding a separate
hearing. (City Code 205.051, 3, E.)
The Planning Commission is meeting on February 20 to react
� � to an item which is relative to Item 2 of this memo. Your written
. answer would be appreciated prior to that date.
Item 1 will probably be discussed sometime in March and I
will notify you later on the specif' ��

-^ Fnclosed is an unsolicited decision by the courts in regard to a recent l.ot
division on the propert_y with t11e red line through it. I am sending this out
because I find the decision bv the court very interesting in that the court
,,.
�.
� Suburban Planners

Page 2 . ,
responded to the symmetry of the neighborhood and to good, soand planning
principles and not just the ordinance requirements.
Edina's zoning ordinance requires lots be 9,000 square feet, and this 1ot 6
is almost three times that. The jud�e essentially refused to allow its
divis�on because the resulting lots would not be harmonious with the
neighborhood and because it was not an arbitrary act.
Hope you find this interesting.
Sincerely,

The Edina Villago Council deniad plaintiff's request
for a zepJ.a� of a previausly platted corner lot into t�co pie-
shapad lots. The defendant takes the position that i ts
Council's uction was a legitimat� legislati.ve action bearing
a'substantial ralatzonship to the pLblic hezlth, safety and
welfurs, and, furth�r, that plaintiff is barred by applicatwo;�
of the doctrino of uc�uiescence. The govarning law i� 2i.S.n.
§ 4b2.351-3G4 (1971j. The policy of that Act is stated to bQ:

� Such a findinq wou�d be contrary to tha evidanco.
� The Council heard the wishaa and objections of tha
"neighbors". A��'eriber of tha Couacil parsonally inspected the
preraiaea involved. The Council then reviewed thQ proposed
�� replat und its effect on the nei5i�orhood, deter:ained that it.
was unsu3tab].e fro:a the staadpoint of ccs�u.*�ify plzu:ning� and
denied th� request �.nd sinultaneously recor.ded the rea�ons for
its deniaZ. Actually the evidenca 07A3 convinc3ng that the

with the Council's dLcision and incansist�nt with its present
position. . . - .
The doc�rine of acquiescence is stated i�n the i+Tiscoasin
case of Jeffersoa Coun�ty v. Ti�v:l, 51 N.�7.2d 518:
