PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT,
P.S. #74-08, H�RWAL RICE CREEK TERRACE, BY GEORGE L. WALQUIST:
A xeplat of Lot 1 and Outlot l, Block 1, Don's Addition, located
at the Northwest quadrant of Rice Creek Road and Central Avenue N.E.
^ Mr. Richard Walquist was present ta represent the petitioner.

Chairman Fitzpatrick read the Public Hearing notice.

Planning Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 2
Mr. Clark said that the land in this plat is between Rice Creek
� Road and the Westerly extension of 64th Avenue. East of this plat
there are a series of double bungalows that face Pierce Street and
are adjacent to Central Avenue on the Wast. He said the property
was all zoned M-1 (light industrial) and will be platted into five
lots. The first lot is occupied by a moving van company. There are
no plans for Lots 2, 3, and 4, however, on Lot 5, there is a tentative
purchase agreement by a company that does rust-proofing of automobilesr
etc. He cQritinued that the building that was drawn in an Lot 5 was
not necessarily the building that would be built on this lot, but
was the largest building that could be built and meet the setback
reguirements and yet stay far enough away from the sanitary sewer
so that it could be maintained. He said that 15 feet was as close
as we would want the building to be to this sanitary sewer, providing
that the footing elevation was 877.5 above sea level. That is on the
basis of a slope of 1 to 1 ratio to the pipe. If the footing was
deeper the easement could be smaller, and if the footing was less,
it would be la�ge�. The elevation of 877.5 would be 6 feet below
the present grade of Rice Creek Road. Mr. Clark said there was a memo
from the Engineering Department showing the different elevations
and what the easement would have to be for each one, and the petitioner
could have a copy of this so it would give him an option as to what
elevation he would want to use. He said the property was about three
feet below the grade of Rice Creek Road at the pres�nt time.
Mr. Clark said there was a sewer line that runs along the West
� boundary of this plat and this does sever Lot 5 about 1/3 of the
way from the West boundary line. There was also a drainage ditch
along�Rice Creek Road which is on both Lots 4 and 5, and there
was another drainage ditch running along the Westerly boundary of
this plat, which was not shown on the preliminary plat, and this
ditch was between l0 and 15 feet from the boundary line.
Mr. Clark said that all lots in M-1 zoning have to be at least
3/4 acre. Lot 2 is about 400 sguare feet short. He said that two
feet could be taken from Lot 3, so Lot 2 could be 115 feet which would
make Lot 2 3/4 acre. Lot 3 is deeper than Lot 2, so this lot would
still meet the area requirement. '
Mr. Harris said that at the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets &
Utilitue5 Subcommittee meeting, they were told that the owner of
Lot 1 wanted to acquire some additional land. Mr. Clark said the
preliminary plat reflects this now. Mr. Clark said the moving company
wants to use this land for storage and they didn't know if they could
get a permit to build these storage facilities. Lot 1, as shown on
the plat, includes land that is not presently owned by the occupant
of Lot l. Mr. Fitzpatrick said this really doesn't enter into the
consideration of the plat, however.
Mr. Harris said that the petitioner
of the Plats & Subs Subcommittee except
and utility easement alon� the Westerl�
� ditch and sanitary sewer line.
has met all the stipu?����ns
the stipulation for a drainage
property line for the drainage
Mr. Drigans said that he felt that by taking two feet off Lot
3 and adding in on to Lot 2, this would make Lot 3 a narrow lot. Mr.
Planning Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 3
/"1 Clark said the stipulation could be that all lots me�t the 3/4
acre requirement and leave it to the petitvoner to shif t the lot
lines.
�
�
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Clark if it was the City's i�tent to go
along with these drainage ditches instead of storm sewers? Mr.
Clark said the Rice Creek Watershed District either has a policy or
a law in which they will not allow us to put open drainage ditches
into pipe, because they want them to act as sediment basins, for
salt, fertilizers and such, that would be running off the streets,
to keep these things from going into Moore Lake or Rice Creek. He
said that if they did pipe part of the ditches that were �oing over
to Harris Lake Estates, for instance, they would have to put in sump
pumps intermittently along it to allow for sedimentation.
Mr. Harris said then this was basically the system that would
remain in this area. He asked how the drainage would be handled on
this plat. Mr. Clark said he thought the lots that were facing
Central Avenue would drain the front part of the lot towards Central
Avenue, and the rear of the lots would drain to the ditch on the
Westerly boundary, and then down to Rice Creek Road.
Mr. Harris said there would have to be a culvert for Lot 5,
so they could have a driveway. Mr. Clark said �hat Mr. Walquist
had gotten permission from the Coun ty to put a pipe under the drive-
way.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said it seemed that there was provision for
drainage on the plat_, and the rest would be handled in the grading
of the property. .
Mr. Clark said the occupancy for Lot 5 was advertised for a
Special Use Permit for. the next Planning Commission meeting, so
they would get a chance to discuss the size and location�of the
building on this lot at that time. Mr. Fitzpatrick said the approval
of the Special Use Permit doesn't have any bearing on the approval
of the plat, did it? Mr. Clark said no. Mr. Walquist said that this
plat started with the discussion by the owner of Lot 1, who wanted to
pick up additional frontage along Central Avenue, and during those
discussions on how to break up this property into additional lots,
the other party came in and asked about developing Lot 5.
Mr. C1ark said Mr. Walquist did inquire about a lot split so
this property could be developed, but he recommended that Mr. Walquist
plat the property as a better solution.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked about the ownership of the entire plat.
Mr. Walquist said there were two ownerships of Lots 2 through 5, and
Lot l is owned by someone e1se. He said one owner owns 50 feet of
Lat 1, as it is now platted, along with Lots 2 and 3. The other
owner owns Lots 4 and 5.

MOTION by Lindblad, seconded by Harris, that the Planning
Commission close the Public Hearing on the consideration of a
� preliminary p1at, P.S. #74-08, Herwal Rice Creek Terrace,.by George
L. Walquist. Upon a voice vote, a1I voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously. '
Mr. Clark said he would like the memo from the Engineering
Department as part of the motion. They could probably call it
Exhibit "A", and also the drainage easement for the ditch along
the Westerly boundary should be wide enough so we could maintain
a three to one slope on its banks. He said he couldn!t tell the
Planning Commission how wide it should be, because he didn't know how
much fill it would take to make the property higher than the ditch.
He said that maybe Mr. Walquist would go along with a 30 to 40 foot
easement for both a drainage and utility easement in this area. He
said this property line is adjacent to R-2 property and they will
have to maintain a 50 foot setback from this zoning in a M-1 District.
Mr. Clark said this setback could be used for storage and parking
areas. If the Planning Commissvon stipulated that anything 15 feet
from the East side of the sanitary sewer line to the west property
line ��e dedicated for drainage and utility easement, this would take
care of it.
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning
Commission recommend to Council approval �f the preliminary p1at,
P.S. #74-08, Herwal Rice Creek Terrace, by George L. Walquist, a
repZat of Lot 1 and Outlot 1, B.Zoak .Z, Don's Addition, located
at the Northwesf quadrant of Rice Creek Road and Central Avenue N.E.,
� with the following stipuZations: •
1. A11 the 1ot sizes meet the requirement of 3/4 acre.
2. A drainage and utiZity easement be estab.Zished from 15
feet East of the Sanitary Sewer pipe to the Westerly
property Zine.
3. Dedicate a 30 foot drainage ditch easement on the South
property line.
4. Footing elevations to be adjusted as per memo from the
Engineering Department, dated DecemUer 4, Z974 and designated
as Exhibit "A".
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
2. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #74-15,
FRANIC'S NURSERY: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.101, 3,N,
to allow the outside storage of inerchandise behind an unscreened
chain link fence, to be located on Lot l, Block 1, East Ranch
Estates 1st Addition, together with the Easterly 120 feet of
that part of the NWa of the NW4 of Section ll, T-30, R-24, lying
North of Osborne Road and West and adjacent to Lot l, Block l,
East Ranch Estates lst Addition, the same being 7620 University
^ Avenue N.E.
Mr. Jerry Schroer was present to represent the petitioner.
�*,,,�.e,
Planning Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 5
� MOTION by Driqans, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning
Commission waive the read.zng of the Public Hearing notice on the
request for a Special Use Permit, SP #74-15, by Frank's Nursery.
Upon a voice vote, a1I voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
^
�
Mr. Clark said the main reason for this request was that they
want to put in an outside display west of the present structure, amd
they do not want to put up a screening fence. He said this was
before Building Standards a couple of weeks ago and the plam was
approved with the stipulation that if the petitioner did not put
up a screening fence, he had to have a 5pecial Use Permit granted
by Council to put up an unscreened chain link fence.
Mr. Lindblad said that normally Building Standards ask for
a wood fenee ox' a chain link fence that was slatted.
Mr. Clark said the area we ar� taking about is about 100 feet
from Osborne Road, and was an area used mostly for sales and storage.
Mr. Schroer said it would be used mostly for retail sales. He said
that Frank's Nursery takes a little different view of a cTose out
sale in the fall, so to speak, and they basically sell down to nothing.
He continued that this area would be used to sell nursery stock and
bag goods in the spring of the year. The bag goods would be kept along
the West fence line.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said the fence we are discussing will be between
the blacktop area and the new nursery bed, then.
Mr. Harris asked about the zoning of
said it was C-2S (general shopping areas).
this property. Mr. Clark
Chairman Fitzpatrick said the Special Use is for sales of
merchandise in the open then. Mr. Clark said this was correct.
Mr.. Harris said he felt this should have gone for a variance
rather than a Special Use because it was just a change in the fence.
Mr. Clark said that in a commercial area, if there was outdoor
storage of inerchandise in the open, it requires a Special Use Permit,
and this was basically what it was.
Mr. Lindblad said this area was no longer the way it had been
in the past. A lot of changes have been made. They are not going to
have concrete blocks, etc. towards Osborne Road. The frontage that
faces Osborne Road was shrubs from Osborne Road to the parking area.
There will be no storage in the front, it will all be in the rear.
Mr. Harris asked what section of the code was being used so that
this required a Special Use Permit. Mr. Clark said it was 205.101,
3, N. Mr. Drigans said he thought it should be 205.10'1, 3, 0. Mr.
Clark said the section of the code quoted says "trailers, campers,
mobile homes, boats, machinery, sporting equipment and like enterprises
having its merchandise in the open and not under cover of a display
room.°
�

Planning Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 6
Mr. Harris said as he reads the Public Hearing notice, this was
a special use to take out the screening fence. Mr. Clark said he
either had to put up a screening fence, or get a special use to store
the merchandise in the open.
Mr. Drigans said then the code says you have to have a screening
fence to have outdoor sales. Mr. Clark said no, you do not. Mr.
Harris said the code says you have to have a special use permit. Mr.
Drigans said they must have a special use permit for outdoor sales,
because they have been selling out there for years.
Mr. Lindblad said the basic reason they had been asked to put
up a wooden fence in the first place, was not that this was a sales
area, but because this was a storage area. He said the Building
Standards-Design Control Subcommittee always recommends a screening
fence when outside storage was visib]_e from the street.
Mr. Harris asked what section of the code was being used as
the basis for a screening fence?
Mr. Clark said that our interpretation was that if you want
to have display merchandise, whether it be boats, snowmobiles or
nursey stock, in the open, why would you want to screen it? Mr.
Harris said that was not what the ordinance said. Mr. Clark said
it doesn't say anything, it says out in the open, not under co�er of
a display salesroom. •
Mr. Fitzpatrick said then what you are saying is that this would
^ be allowed with a Special Use Permit, if there was screening. H�,
said he thought outdoor sales required a Special Use Permit whether
it was screened or not. Mr. Harris said this is what he thoug�t also.
Mr. Harris said he still wondered where the screening fence came from.

Mr. Clark said this came up at Building

and is not a violation of the code.
Standards where they
or get a Special Use
is merely a stipulation,
Mr. Lindblad said this has been a recommended policy for some
time. Mr. Harris said it has been arbitrarily recommended, let's put
it that way. He said he could take someone all over the community,
and some places we do, and some places we don't.
Mr. Lindblad said he didn't think Mr. Harris would find that in
the last two or three years. Mr. Harris said he could show where it
happened last year. Mr. Lindblad asked where this was. Mr. Harris
said the Building Standards probably didn't even see it, and it was
arbitrarily done. Mr. Harris said the code has been arbitrarily
administrated ever since it was adopted.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Schroer if Frank's Nursery already had a
Special Use Permit to sell nursery stock? Mr. Schroer„ said they did.
Mr. Drigans said that he felt that was all they needed. Chairman
Fitzpatrick said that there was a stipulation on that Special Use
Permit that they have a screening fence. Mr. Drigans said this was
just a stipulation, and not a violation of the code. Chairman Fitz-
srv I
;
r
Planning Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 7
patrick said this was a stipulation of the Special Use Permit, so
where we are now, was that they wanted to continue to do a� they
have always done, but without the screening fence.
� Mr. Clark said that Frank`s Nursery was doing things a lot
different than the way things were done before. He said the merchandise
area had been moved way back on the lot, that they had put in berms
and shrubbery in front of the parking area, and the entire area was
very much improved. Mr. Fitzpatrick said it was a much improved
business, and yet he felt they were still operating within the Special
Use Permit they already have, with the exception of the screening
fence. � .
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Schroer how tall,the nursery stock was. Mr.
Schroer held out his hand and showed how high the shrubbery was, and
he said the trees were taller. Mr. Harris said he would have to cut
all the trees off at six feet, because this is what the code says. It
says you can't have a screening fence over eight feet high , and
anything behind the screening fence has to be two feet shorter.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said they weren't thinking about nursery stock :-
when they wrote the ordinance. Mr. Harris said they weren't thinking
about anything. Obviously, the person who wrote this didn't know
what he was writing. Mr. Fitzpatrick said this was written for the
stacking of inerchandise behind a fence. He said this wouldn't pre-
clude acting on this petition. Mr. Drigans said he didn't see how
they could act on this petition. He was afraid that if we did this,
he could �ust see this c�mpounding. Every time someone wanted to put
up a fence, Building Standards were going to tell_people to get a. _
� Special Use Permit, and he didn't feel this was required. He said
that the section of the code that this business was operating under,
doesn`t require a sc�eening fence. Mr. Fitzpatrick said. the Special
Use that he was operating under had a stipulation that there must be
a wooden scr�ening fence,' and that's what the petitioner wants to
change. �
Mr. Drigans said he thought what the petitioner should do was
just go to the City Council and say he wants this fence, and ask them
to waive this stipulation on the Special Use Permit.
Mr. Lindblad said then Mr. D.rigans would be fighting everything
that the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee had been
suggesting and enforcing. Mr. Drigans said that these were only
stipulations. Mr. Lindblad said that was right, but the object of
Building Standards was to make some of these places a little more
attractive to the people who_have to look at them. If Mr. Drigans
was going to take that point of view, then there was no point in
Building Standards requesting or suggesting anything. He said it
was just like pre cast curbing, which we really don't approve of, but
he said he didn't know if there was anything in the code that said
they couldn't be used.
Mr. Harris said just a minute. He told Chairman Fitzpatrick that
he wished to step down from his position on the Planning Commission
� and take issue with the City administration and the Puilding Standards
Chairman. In his own personal dealing with them, we have been forced
to put in concrete curbs on a particular project of ours, when we
-�'.�"�'""
}
Planning Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 8 I
had requested to put in pre cast curbing for drainage purposes.
He said �e thought the code had been arbitrarily and capriciously
^ administrated since 1969. He said he wasn't saying it was all the
administration's fault. The ordinance, in many cases, was lacking
in candor and knowledge of the situation as it exists in the City
of Fridley. He said that he personally felt that the person who
wrote the ordinance hasn't the faintest idea of what's going on, has
never driven anything larger than a half ton pick-up truck, and
sits in an ivory tower someplace and doesn't know anything about
business, building or anything else. He thanked the Planning Commission
and said that was all he had to say on the subject.
Mr. Drigans said he understood what the Building Standards-
Design Control Subcommittee was trying to do when they try to enhance
the surrounding property, but he thought they extended themselves a
little too far when they direct a petitioner that they must have a
Special Use Permit, or get a variance, when in essence they were not
violating any codes. They are only attaching a recommendation or a
stipulation, and he thought that if the petitioner wanted to take
issue with a stipulation, that it should go directly to Council. He
said he could see nothing in the code that says the petitioner must
have a screenin� fence. Mr. Fitzpatrick said there was a stipulation
on the existing Special Use Permit that says they must have a wooden
screening ience. Mr. Drigans said then they are being asked to get
a Special Use Permit on a Special Use Permit.
Mr. Clark said that when this Special Use Permit was issued
there were certain stipulations put on this Special Use Permit. Now
^ the petitioner has come up with a new plan; and he doesn`t want the
wooden screening fence. It was the Planning Commission and the Council
who originally approved this Special U�e Permi� with this stipulation.
Now the petitioner was back before the same body asking to have the
stipulation for the screening fence removed. Mr. Drigans and Mr.
Harris said they did not get this informatio� from the hearing notice
for this request. Mr. Clark said the reason this was brought to the
Planning Commission's attention was because the petitioner was no
longer providing a screening fence to keep this area from being out
in the open.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said the reason this stipulation was put on the
other Special Use Permit was because we were screening something that
was much closer to Osborne Road, and his interpretation of •the present
petition was simply to have a Special Use Permit witnout that stipu-
lation. Mr. Harris said that the petitioner was in essence asking
that the screening fence be removed.
Mr. Clark said the present location of the nursery stock would
make this screening fence unnecessar.y.
Mr. Lindblad said he thought that he was under a misunderstanding
as far as the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee was
concerned. It was his understanding that this Subcommittee was a
recommending and advisory _ group set up by Council to give recommenda-
^ tions and advic e to the Council. He said they didn't have any say
on whether this or that was done, we just make suggestions on how we
think something could be done better, whether this is code or not
��
Planning Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 9
code,.it's still strictly up to the Council. For instance, the code
^ says a building has ta be painted. If they really want to get nit-
picking, they can just paint it one solid color, but we suggest maybe
breaking this up into different colors, using some break-off block,
or other means, so that when this building is constructed, there is
some type of break in a long wall. As far as this screening is con-
cerned, he said he didn't care if it was code, law or what have you,
he didn't care at his point. We recommend that some things have to
be screened, and why it has to come to a Special Use Permit, we don't
care about that either. It's just that he thought the Subcommittee
was supposed to be doing a job of making recommendations to the Council,
who can over-rule us whether we like it or not.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said that in this instance, he thought the
Building Standards-Design Control S u�x ommittee had a good reason for
stipulating the wooden fence at the time that they did, but now that
the plans have changed, he didn't think they would make the same
stipulation now.
Mr. Lindblad said he thought when it got right down to it, they
were saying the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee wasn't
necessary and everyone should just interpret the code any.�ay�,they
want to. That's what seems to be beinq said here, if we recommend
any�hing that's not specifically in the code, we are wasting ou'r. time.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said that stipulations can be recommended.
Mr. Lindblad said that is what happened on this. We made the recom-
^ mendation that the screening fence remain, and the.petitioner did not
want this because he wanted his display visable and open. Mr. Lindblad
said why this recommendation for a Special Use Permit didn't go directly
to Council, instead of being routed to the Planning Commission, he
really didn't know. . �
Mr. Harris said he thought the basic fault lies with the ordinance.
He said that he didn't think the ordinance even comes close to being
able to handle the situations we get into. If you go through the
screening section, it was obvious that it was inadequate and just won't
fit any of the problems. He said that as he read the petitioner's
request, the basic reason for this fence was for security. He said
that maybe this wasn't the time to discuss this, but maybe we should
get down to the prablem of why we have fence5. If it is for security
reasons, then obviously a wooden fence or a slatted chain link fence
wouldn't be for security. The police couldn't see through a solid
fence, and anyone could hide behind such a fence. If it's a fence
between residential and commerical or industrial property, then you
need a,screening fence. There is no place in the ordinance where these
different situations are taken into account. He said the Planning
Commission would really have to make a greater effort to get through
these ordinances so we can make some recommendations to the Council.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said he agreed that there were many sections
of the code that needed recommendations for change, but he didn't
� think the present petitioner should be held up on his request. He
= has a legitimate request, and a recommendation should be made one way
or the other.

Plannin Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 10
Mr. Dr�gans said that what he thought was required by the
Planning Commission was a motion to Council recommending that they
modify the existing Special Use Permit stipulation for a wooden screen- `
ing fence to an unscreened 'chain link fence for security. He said �
he thought this was the motion to be made for two reasons, one being
that he didn't think a Special Use Permit was necessary for a fence,
and the other reason was because he thought the wrong section of the
code was used in the PubZic Hearing notice.
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Harris, that the Planning
Commission close the Public Hearing on the request for a Specia3
Use Permit, SP #74-I5, Frank`s Nursery. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously. �
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Harris, that the Planning Commission '.
recommend to Council that the request for a 5pecial Use Permit, SP ,

3, N, to allow the outside storage of inerchandise behind an unscreened

Ist Addition, together with the Easterly 120 feet of that part of
the NW% of the NW� of 5ectian 11, T-30, R-24, lying North of Osborne
Road and West and adjacent to Lot Z, Block 1, East Ranch Estates lst
Addition, the same being 7620 University Avenue N.E., is not necessary,
and recommend that Council modify the existing 5pecial Use Permit,
SP #71-07, to change the stipulation of a wooden screening fence to .
a chain Iink fence for security purposes.
^ Mr. Langenfeld said that if the merchandise on�display should
becgme a visual hazard, he felt that at that time, this re.quest should
be reconsidered as to whether this area should be screened or not,
or else they should move the display under cover.
�
Mr. D�igans asked Mr. Langenfeld what he meant by a visual
hazard? Mr. Langenfeld said it would be something that was unpleasing
to the e�e. Chairman Fitzpatrick said that originally when the fence
was required, this business was 30 feet from the road, and now we are
talking about it being setback almost 150 feet from Osborne Road. Mr.
Drigans said he didn't see that this would ever create a visual hazard.
Mr. Schroer said that no one has asked for it, but he was wiiling
to take a portion of the wooden fence, that has been taken down, and
put it up from the building and on out about 30 feet. All the tools
and nursery stock that has to be brought back to look good aga�n, would
be stored behind this wooden fence.
Mr. Langenfeld asked where they kept their bales of hay at �his '
time? Mr. Schroer said they kept them under.neath.the roof.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
3. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMI�, SP #74-16, BY
REYNOLD E. SWANSON: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.101, 3, N,tc
permit the extension of the present Special Use Permit for a
�obileHome Sales Lot, located on the West 375' of Lot 3, Auditor's
Subdivision No. 89, subject to a street and utility easement over
the Westerly 40' thereof, the same being 7151 Highway #65 N.E.
��
Planning Commission Meeting - De�ember 4, 1974 Page 1 1
Mr. Reynold Swanson was present.
� MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Harris, that the Planning
Commission waive the reading of the Public Hearing notice on the
request for a Special Use Permit, SP #74-16, by Reynold Swanson.
Upon a voice vote, a1� votinq aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Swanson said he was the sole owner and operator of this
mobile home saleslot and had been since July of 1972.
Mr. Clark said the oriqinal agreement was in the agenda, and
this was a three year Special Use Permit, that was not renewable,
and wi11 run out in July, 1975. When Mr. Swanson called and asked
us how he could renew this Special Use Permit, and the agreement
stated that it was unrenewable, he was told that he had to start
all over again with a new Special Use Permit request.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked why the Public Hearing notice states that
this is an extension of a Special Use Permit, then. Mr. Clark said ,
that was because the property was presently being used for this purpose.
Mr. Harris said'�.the Planning Commission had another request for
a Special Use Permit for the same purpose just a short time ago, and
had used this agreement as a model for that request, and he couldn't
remember if we had stipulated that Special Use Permit wasn't renew-
able or not. Chairman Fitzpatrick said that he remembered that they
didn't.
�
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he was on the Planning Commission at the
time this Special Use Permit was granted, but he couldn't remember
why they had stipulated it wasn't renewable.
Mr. Swanson said that at that time, the owner of the property,
Mr. Donald Harstad, was contemplating building at this location. At
the present time, because of inflation and costs, etc., he has no
plans for utilizing this property. He said there was also some problem�
with the previous operators of the lot, when the first request was
considered.
Mr. Harris asked if this permit had had.a yearly reviewal. Mr.
Clark said the staff had reviewed it annually, but not ?�y�the Planning
Commission. Mr. Clark said the lot had just been 'inspected, przor
to this meeting, and it does meet all the stipulations that were in
the agreement. It is clean and in good condition.
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Harris, that the Planning Commissian
receive the Zetter from the owner of the property, Don Harstad, dated
November 13, I974. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Drigans said that in reading this letter, he didn't see any
reference as to how long Mr. Swanson would be able to have this lot,
� or to lease it. Mr. Swanson said he was going to have a five year
- lease, if this Special Use Permit was granted.
��
Planning Commission Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 12
Mr. Drigans said that if the recommendation was to grant this
permit, he thought it should be tied to the termination of the lease
^ the same as they did on the last request for a Special Use Permit
far the same use. Mr. Drigans said we did ask for additional black-
top on the other request aiso. .
Mr. Harris asked if the lot was all crushed rock? Mr. Swanson
said he'had an area 30' x 30' blacktopped that was the entrance to
the lot. The balance of the lot was class V with an oil base that
has been on the lot since it was started and this has held up very
well. He said that if this new Special Use Permit was approved, he
would be willing to blacktop the entire lot. He said � fence had
been put up on the back of the lot to screen Mr. Harstad's operation
away from this lot, and they had put in more sodding.
Mr. Drigans said that another stipulation that they had put on
the other request was that the petitioner keep majority ownership of
this business, and it not be transferable to someone e1se.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Clark if there had been any complaints on
this lot. Mr. Clark said they didn't have any on this operator, but
they had had some on the previous owner. .
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Swanson if he had a five year lease at this
time. Mr. Swanson said his present lease ran until July, 1975, and
ha� talked to Mr. Harstad, and he has agreed to a five year lease.
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Lindb2ad, that the Planning
/1, Commission close the Public Hearing on the request.for a Special
Use Permit, SP #74-16, by Reynold Swanson. Upon a voice vote, a12

5. DISeUSSION
� Mr. Harris said he had attended the seminar at Normandale
Junior College on November 21, 1974. Unfortunately their printed
schedule didn't mesh with the topic of discussion, he said, so they
didn't talk about the particular topic he was interested in which
was federal funding for housing for the elderly.
�"�
^
Mr. Harris said they did discuss the zoning code, which was ;
very interesting also. They used Robbinsdale as a model, because that
was where the instructor was�from. There were �ome interesting comments
and it was wellworth the $5.00, he said. One thinq that was brought
up was that we probably'should area plan instead of saying an area
was, for instance, all M-2. If its all M-2, which is all industry,
in an area like this we cannot provide other services, such as a
restaurant. Mr. Harris said they seem to be doing something like
this in the Georgetown complex, and he didn't know if this was code
or not. He said Mr. Filister was providing a beauty shop, other
small shops and even a nursery school. He sai.d he thought this was
a good thing. Mr. Clark said this was allowed as an accessory >>se
in R-3 zoning. These services are-just for the people living iri�,George-
town and 1Qa of the area can be used for such �purposes.
Mr. Harris said the instructor also mentioned that there was
a building in Robbinsdale where they have parking on' three floors,
and then some floors �or businesses, and the top floors are apar�ments,
which he thought was an exc.ellent idea.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that it was true that you could find your-
self in an industrial area, and not find a coffee shop for a long ways.
Mr. Harris said there was an exchange of ideas on the zoning
codes, and we found that we all had basically the same problems.
Mr. Clark said the question of having an ordinance outlawing
campaign signs came up at the last meeting. He said Maplewood had
passed such an ordinance, but it was taken to court, and the court
ruled against it. He said they had checked other cities in the
metropolitan area, and no one else has such an ordinance.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said our ordinance controlling campaign
signs seems to work quite well.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said it was a little late in the meeting
but he did want to welcome Mr. Langenfeld as an ex-officio member of
the Planning Commission. The other members joined in this welcome.
Mr. Langenfeld asked if he�coul.d vote on the-receiving of minutes
or on any motions. Mr. Fitzpatrick said he didn't think he cou�.d, but
he should enter into all the discussions, and his comments would be
taken into consideration when the motions were made.
6. WORKSHOP MEETINGS

H . A . F'.
Mr. Broti,m introduced Messrs. Bob Olmstead and Cliff Ash from the Hockey
Association. h1r. Olmstead stated that they were there to discuss several problems
�xegarding hockey before the season starts. He said that one of the things they
were concerned with was having the house league officials registered with M.A.H.A.
Mr. J31air stated t}iat ]le felt that a clinic should Ue held for the officials, as
�there are different rules bet�,�een b4.A.�I.A. and Ii.A.I�. Mr. �9agar asked how the
rules differed and A1r. Ash replied that they vary. r4r. Peterson said we should
tell the kids that next year there will be a clinic and they have to attend.
h4r. Kasick said that it was too late to take the test now. He said that it took
6- 8 weeks to get the test taken care of. T1r. Bro�4�n mentioned.that the test
was not mandatory, but that a good percentage of the officials joined on their
own. hir.. Ash explained tliat it took as long as the kid wanted it to; it could
•be as short as ttilo weeks. Mr. Brown stated that we have all the applications
ir. our office.
Mr. Olmstead said that they k�ere wondering if it would be possible for them
to take the test so tha� everyone knows the rules they are under. Mr: Ash said
that t}ie reason tliis is a good idea is because some of the referees go by
high scliool rules, othei•s by A.H.L. and some uilder h1.A.H.A. , and tlie rules are
different. He said that they felt the best way to be sure that they had consistent
referecing woulci be if all tl�e fellows took the I�1.A.}l.A. test and are registered.
lie said that it only cost $5.00. Mr. Harris said that actually it is the A.fI.A.
test. Mr. Brown replied that it was done through t�1.A.H.A.
h1r. Peterson said that he felt the Parks and Recreation Department would be
puttinb Lhemselves into a bind if they would require certifica.tion this year, due
to the latencss of thc season. 1lc asked t�9r. Brown what he thought of telling the
kids thi.s year that they ►.�ould h:rve to attend a clinic or they wouldn!t be allowed
to referee, anci work toward certiiication for next yea.r. Mr. Brown felt that thi.s
woulcl l�e a good idca. Ile said tliat P1r. Ilo►vard or tlie }lockey Association could put
� on a clinic. He saia that if you tell them they should or must attend, they usually
xespond. He said you have to pick a goocl time, too, iie said thcse ki�is have trouble
�etti�lg to a session at night, and Saturdays tliey are usually working at b9acDonalds,
etc.

/1 Mr. Blair mentianed that we have a copy of the test. He said that at the
.,linic they go through the test and the book a1so. He said that then next year
we can have the kids go through the certification process. T4r. Peterson asked
hir. Olmstead if he felt that this would be satisfactory, because of the time of
the season now. Mr. Olmstead saici that he could see that this might Ue a problem
but that they are not iust worried about this year. That would be fine to get it
straiglitened out by next year.

D4r. Harris stated that as long as we are going to do this he �elt that those
who wish to take tlie test may do so. He said that i� it's not available to get
the certification on the day they referee they've got the fixst of January or
February to get it taken care of. :b9r. Peterson said that at least �,te will have
set up a two sL-age requirement so thlt the kids �ti�ill kno�,r wh.at the requirements
are. They'll knoi,r that they.have to attend a clinic this year and be certified
next year. �
b1r. Blair asked if there k�as any further discussion. Mr. Kasick asked if
this would be publicized in the Fridley Swz. A1x. Bro��n replied that it would be.
Mx. Olmstead was asked to pass the word around also.
^ Mr. tiVagar asked ho�a many house games were scheduled indoors. Mr. Olmstead
,eplied that it will vary because they had it all laid out and then they lost 51
hours at Northland with the second sheet of ice. He said that they are going to
give t}iem some practice time and the rest of the indoor ice time will be for -
their games. He said a ballpark £igure of any�ahere £rom 2 to 4: games will be
for eacli team.
� Mr. Olmstead also brought up the fact that they are concerned about the
goali.e equipment for the te�uns. He said that there miglit be two games in a ro�a
►vhere they were lucky enough to get a block of two hours, but it might be the
same Saturday at another arena, He sai.d that the t�ao sets of goalie eauipment might
not stretcll too far. He said that of course they rwi into size difference
ther.e also. It might be a Squirt and it might be a Bantam.
Mr. Blair asked D4r. �3rown if he would have any problem supplying the Hockey
Association with goalie equipment at Victory Memorial Arena. h9x. Brown replied
that t}rere is a problem in that we only have so many sets of eauipment, and
when there is a duplication during the season, it becomes almost impossible to
service t�ao rinks at fihe samc liour. He said tllen he would have to pull equip-
ment irom some rink that maybe a team is practicing on and then they're pro-
viding no boalie equipment.
Mr. Blair askcd Mr. Olmstead if these games were played on the w�ekend.
hfr. Olmsteacl replied that most of. them tiaould be, but not all.
/� 64r. Brown said that basically the equipn�ent is for the rink, not the
practice, we are supposed to have a set for every cage. He said that the
8
�,
Minutes of the Parks $ Recreation Commission A4eeting, November 25, 1974 Page 3
majority of the use of the rink is for practice, however. He said this is where
/�'`�ethe kids try out the goalie equipment, when they are alone and not in front of the
coach. •
.�.� �
Mr. Brown asked Mr. Olmstead if this duplication will happen very often and
Mr. Olmstead replied tliat it wouldn't be t}iat often. tfe said that they could
help themselves a little in obtaining some spare goalie sets.
A4r. Blair asked r9r. Olmstead to get in toucl� with Paul if there is a conflict.
Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Olmstead if he could arrange the schedule so that he ��ould
have two sets of the same age Uracket pla�ring at the same time xather than 4 sets
for fhe same bracket. Mr. Olmstead indicated that this could be arranged.
Mr. Bxown asked A4r. Olmstead basically what they wanted the City to do for
them. Mr. Olmstead replied that they needed to knotiti� what they could plan on for
suxe. D4r. Brown told him that we had four sets of goalie equipment. bir. Olm-
stead said he �,�ould like to be able to come and pick it up �ahen he needed it and
then drop it off. He said that they did that a fe�a times last year. Mr.�Brow�i
mentioned that tliat was probably during tlie playoffs.
Mr. Brown said they would lihe to provide four sets of goalie equipment
but that it is a1Z at the xinks. tie said that any extra they may have had was at
the Commons and that'i��as only one or two sets at the most. fie said that otherwise
there was one set for each cage, at the rinks . rir. Bro�an said t}lat they taould
gladly work it out tirith D4r. Olmstead as best they can.
T""�� .
Mr. Ash mentioned that if they lose the ice at one arena a�ld have to move to
another, they can't take the equipment with them, therefore they..have no equip-
ment to use. (the right size) He said this had happened several times last year.
A9r. Brown explained that the City cannot provide a set of each size for each rink,
He said that the tVarming House Attendants have strict orders not to give out the
goalie equipment to anyone.
Mr. Olmstead asked A�ir. Brown if each of the five Directors would be able to
have so�ne kind oi a card signed by rir. Bro���n, �ahich would enable them to sign out
a goal set. Mr. Brown replied that lie ���ould like to get four sets of equipment
ancl keep it at City 1-Iall to be checked out. He said that it wouldn't necessarily
have to be the Directors. He said that the Directors could have control of the cards
to insure that the equipment was brought back each time. The equipment would have
to be back the following day.
A9r. Olmstead brought up anotlier nroUlem. He explained that if there is a
cancelled house league game on Saturday and the team would like to make it up
on hlonday, and time is of the essence, they would like permission to call the
head referee and have it rescheduled. Mr. Ash explained an instance would be
when it was too colcl to play on Saturelay aiid t}iey had practice time on I�Ionday,
they �aould be usi�tg their own time a��yway. Hc said tliat if they have to �aait
until blonclay to contact anyone to get xeferees, etc. it gets to be too�late,
and it ►aould be much more convenient if the llirector could reschedule the game
without taking somcone else's ice. fie could then get in touch witli Don }loward
�n the week�nd, who in turn would get the referees lined up for D1onday, and this
�
Minutes of the Parks F; Recreation Commission hleeting, November 25, 1974 Page 4
��
/ �would speed things up much better. He explained that when you get to the end of
'the season and the ice starts going,-you need to get the games in as quickly as
possible. They would be using their o�vn ice only of course. They would not be taking
any ai,ay from anyone, r4r. Brown suggested L-hat we have a set policy on this, and
then they won't have to contact anyone.
At this point Mr. Don Hok=ard arrived at the meeting.
Mr. Brawn advised Mr. Ho<<�ard that they �aere discussing the possiUility of
the }I.A.P. Directors being able to reschedule cancelled games witllout having to
get in touch �tirith him, because sometimes it takes l0 to 14 days to get the game
� rescheduled, because of the w�y we handle it. He said that we were mentioning
for example, i,}Ier.e a tearn �aould lose a game on Saturday and would like to play
on Monday. He said they were recon�mending a sefi policy.
Mr. Olmstead said that basically the way it would work would be that
generally they can get in touch with llon Howard withi�l an hour or two, and if
he could provide the officials, they could reschedule the game and get in touch
with the coac}ies riglit away. He felt the key was �,hetlier or not h1r. Ho�aard
could provi.de the officials. Mr. Olmstead asked that they be ai�le to have the
Director in each Division contact Don I-io�vard and take it from there. Mr. Hoiaard
said they could reschedule on the phone.
Chuck Kasick asked if the girls were going to play broomball at Flanery
again and also at Rice Creek this year, He also t,�anted to kno�� if it was going
to be on Saturday or at night. Bob Olmstead replied that he had scheduled it
��entatively at both places for practice and games. N�r. Kasick said that the
gixls get cold and he would prefer for them to play there, tahere there was a
war�ning house. Also he felt that it was safer for skaters not to play on broom-
Uall ice. h9r Olmstead replied that he could schedule all the games at Flanery
with no problem.
, Mrs. CaldiaelT asked if the second practice spot could be where there is a
� warniing house. Mr. Olmstead said that he had talked to Helen Byrne and she
didn't seem too concerned about the girls not having a warming house. Mrs.
Cald�aell stated tliat she felt the girls and boys slioulcl have equal facilities.
Mr. Kasick stated that for the boys' safety, the girls should only be at Flanery.
He said they don't need to go to any other place.
64r. Harris mentioned the fact that thcre is no warming house Uecause there
is no building at Rice Creek School for this purpose. He said there are some
construction building shacks, whic}i could be available for a warming house. He
saici that he would look into tliis and see what he could do about getting us one.
.LC. E J�11�JENANCE AND FLQODING SCHEDUL�
Mr. Olrnstead asked if, in oxder to get real good ice, it would be possible
t� flood at night, wllen it needs to be built up.
- Mr. Blair stated that last year we flooded cluring the day. Mr. Da}ilberg
�explained that our big�est problem was the Christmas rain, He said that we
�
• �Q �
Tlinutes of the Parks �; Recreation Commission A9eeting, November 25; 1974 Page 5
have the same crew that we have had for the last 8 years, so �t couldn�t be
�la�ned on tlie personnel cliange in the crew, it was the bad weather. He said that
the Christmas rain took away the base, plus the fact that we are gaining one or
two rinks each year. He said that we are slo�,�ly falling further and further
behind.
Mr. Broti�n mentioned that the City Council said three years ago that there was
too much overtime in the Parks Department and so in the wintertime to find another
�aay to do it. He continued that they therefore scheduled these men on a rotating
basis and they don't even have the pleasure o£ a normal weeke�id.
Mr. Harris said tliat he felt that barring weather, etc. tlle ice is not as
good if you don't have a program of night flooding. He said that he had been
over t}�ere at 3:00 in the afternoon when they were floodi�ig, and it was absolu-
tely a���aste of time with tlle temperature at 30° _.32°. He said it would be al-
rigl�t if you could keep everybody off the ice for another 2-3 hours until it had
a chance to set up.
Mr. Dahlberg said t11at the City of Bloomington has 80 pieces of ice;_and they
flood them in 5 hours using tanker trucks. He said using hoses.is just too slow
and time consuming. He said that ���e should consider updating our equipment.
He said that last year Bloomington had 8 two-man cret��s and the best they could
do in an 8 hour day �aas about 16 pieces of ice. He said that they have since bought
a truck and they cover 25 pieces of ice with two men. - -
/, Mr. Harris asked if that meant he could flood from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. every
.iight and have it all done with one<piece of equipment. Mr. Dahlberg repli�ed
that if you axe concerned about the cost, this is a piece of equipment that would
probably pay for itself in the long xun. '
� Mr. DalilUerg said that the way Bloomington sold thea.r Council on buying �ihe
equipment wlien t}iey converted 8 years ago, was to run a study on it (and they are
still continuing the studies). He said it cost them 8 years ago $5.00/1000 gallons
of water (this is with the hose carrying method); as o£ last year, with labor
costs going up, etc., theyr were dowii to $1.50/1.0�0, p'us they have increased their
rinks. He said that they have new equipment ordered, and they hope to get it
down to $1.OU/1000 galloiis, which is putting a lot of water down with a minimum
amount of inen.
Mr. Bro�an mentioned the fact that they only have 8 men in Bloomington and
they have 80 rinks, and tiiey use multi-shifts.
Mr. Iiarris meiltioned that we used to flood at nig]Zt a few years ago. r4r. Brown
said that we �aere in overtime then. He said t}ie men reported to the garage at
9:00 p.ni. �and by Lhe time they got out on a rink it was �:30 p.m., then they went
accordingly up to 12:00 midnight or 1:00 a.m.
Mr, t9agar said that flooding in the daytime is foolish. He said you can't
start flooding if it is liot.
� h9r. Peterson said t11at lie is opposed to daytime flooding. He said the ice
has deteriorated sincc daytime flooding was started.

� h1rs. Caldwell asked if we shouldn't try to have a second shift of two men
who flood at night. h9r. Dahlberg replied that ttiva men isn't suff.icient. He said
that you need to have four.
Mr. ti+lagar said that he would like to see the flooding done at night. Mr.
Dahlberg pointed out that when you do split tlie cre��s you cut dotian on your ef-
ficiency. He said that they still only have so many men to do the,work and you're
talking ice conditions and i.e're talking volume. 11e explained that with the
present setup they have they still can't l:eep up wii.h them 100%. He said that by
cutting the crew in half and putting them on night shift still doesn't give you
more coverage, you're still falling behind. Mr. Peterson said that it gave you
more efficie�it coverage because your flooding is more effective. He said that
when you flood in the daytime and it's not effective, you haven't accomplished
anything for the man hours, so you've spent man hours and accomplished nothing.
He said tllat at least you'xe using your man hours most effectively by flooding
at night.
Mr. Dahlberg replied that they have their other repairs to co�itend with at the
same time. He said that tliey have goalie repairs, lines to paint, etc.

Mr. Harris stated that lie thought they should go ahead with the program even
�f they have to pay overtime.
GIRLS FLAG F00'I'BALL
Mr. Chuck Kasick ►��as there to discuss some problems he has in regards to the
girls flag football program. He stated that first of all, he felt the peopl.e
should not have ta ca11 the City Council ahout any problems that the Park Board
lias. 'Iie said that this is in regard to the girls. He said that any time a referee
doesn't go according to the people's wishes, a councilman is called, who is turn
ca11s T11e City Administration, and then there is a big hassle,
� He said that last year he lost a good official ti�ho was oheying the rules,
and the City Council ptrt pressure on tlle Park Board to get rid of him, whic•h he
felt ti�as wrong. He said that thc official was from outside the City and could
care less who won the game. 1-ie said that he was obeying the rules but that wasn't
good enoug}i for the people.
Mr. Kasick said that the referees that we had this year, in his estimation,
were excellent. He said that they occasionally made some blunders, but for the
most part did an excellent job. He said that we are not' paying for high school
or college referees, but referees from our oi�i� City.
D1r. Kasick said that Don Blair will no longer referee girls flag ball, and he
doesn't Ulame him. I�e said that he was standing on the siaelines and ]le listeneci
/+tto some of these people, aiid for a test he woulcl �oad them, such as thc referee
would do something ancl they would ask b9r. Kasick why he threw thc flag, and bir.
Kasick would tell them it was for tri�ping, when in actuality the play �vas for off-
sieles somewhcrc else, and t}�e people waul�l go wild. 11c said thc men we;�t wilcl too,
Uccause tl�cy don't know the xules. }!e said he haci nevcr heard such cominotion in
his life and the parents dicln't kno�a tivhzt tliey wcre talking abaut.

Mr. Kasick said that when they set up this program three years ago, he made it
so that the girls could understand the game, so that �ahen they did go up to high
/,school they would know what they were doing. He said we need to get the parents to
understand the rules.
�Dir. Bro�tim stated that we were cancerned here with the rules. Mr. Peterson
said that if the F.Y.F.A. is going to be sponsoring it and there are pr.oblems, then
Lhose who are responsible in F.Y.F.A. should be appearing in front of the Commission
too, in terms of finding out what the problems are and taking care of them. D1r.
lioward sai.d that he felt the important t�ing was to run a clinic and you make it
mandatory for your coaches and officials to be there. Mr. Brown said that you need
to get a copy of all the rules to all the kids and they can take them home to their
parents to read. He felt that was the problem.
Mr. Kasiek sta.ted that three years ago �ahen he started this program, the only
thing the P.Y.F.A. did was to back him with money. He said he dici most of his �ti*o�k
with A9r. Brown. He said that this year it was turned over to the Association and
he has never seen so many problems. He said that he, as a citizen, would like to
have the Parl% Board let tl�e City Council kno►a about the problems.
1�4r. Brown mentioned that when you do have a city administration and council
type major situation, you've got these particular inputs. People aren't going to
be liappy with everything and they'll go to the City Cowicil and they're goirig to
resj�ond, because they're elected Uy the people, and whether we agree or not, they
have t]Ze rigllt to do that.
Mrs. Caldwell asked if it would be advisable to have a clinic on Saturday for
�the parents. Mr. Kasick explained to her that it is difficult to�get the parents
to bring their kids to the game. b1r. Brown said t}iat we hope to reach the parents
by giving a copy of the rules to the girls, who in turn can take it home to their
pa.rents to xead. .
SKI TOURING _
. h4r. Brown mentioned that all we have in regards to this is a brochure which
T4x. Blair had given him, on cross country skiing. I-ie said that he had been unable,
as yet, to get in touch with the gentleman in charge. A9r. Blair said that if the
� nature center is developed; this gentleman is interested in setti_ng up ski touring
and cross country skiin�.
Mr. Brown said that ski touring or snow shoein� would be done because this is
in the rcalm of where Lhe nature center would be developed in North Park, along wi.th
a few other parks we have. He said that Dr. Huff will merely be the implementation
towards the program, whether it appeaxs in our Uulletin or not. Hc said that in
our bulletin it'll show interpretation once he gets it all set up.
Mrs. Cald�vell said that slie liked the idea of having the ski touring under Dr.
}iuff's auspices. Shc said that one thiTig she liked was the fact t]Zat t)lis is more
of a frce kind of thing; «ithout all the registration. She liked the idca of them
just going if iL is t}�e rig}it kind of clay for this kind of skii�lg and Dr. Iiufi is
available. She would like them to bc aUle to do it i�itliout rcgistering t1lr.ee
weeks in advance aa�d pzying a registration fee, ctc. She said that she liked that
r� wholc conccj�t of a nature center, £ree and loose. She said that if you puL it in
this dep�irt_ment tl�en people have to �o dotianstairs and registcr, etc. , and that just
gocs against the grai.n for hGr. h1r. Petcrson brou�;ht up the f.act that if tlic peopl c
have �o depend on I)r. l�uff heing there, then it isn't free either; then you have to
go up thcrc whcn lle is there to interprct it. h1rs. Caldwell rcplied that if. the
pro�ram is set,up properly, then you don't really need him ta be there. Mr. Brown
��"

��
�� Minutes of the Parks F; Recreatian Commission Meeting November 25, 1974 Page 8
said that, knowing what a sharp guy llr. Huff is, he feels that Dr. Huff will probably
incorporate soine of his tours based around snow shoeing and ski touring. He said it
�woulcl all depend on how they develop the area and that is very tentative right now.
r1r. Blair commented that he wasn't too concerned about registration but someone
would.have to go and lay out the trails aiid maintain them.
ED tti'II.i�1ES At�U PLYTtOUTH PARKS
h9r. I�ro�an mentioned the fact that we would like to drop Ed tVilmes Park and
Plymouth Park, as we do not get too much use there in the winter. � !

HARRTS ESTAT�S
Mr. Blair asked if there aaere any plans for Harris Estates. Mr. Bro�,m replied
that it had been leveled and seeded. He said that the Comprehensive Master Plan
calls for an apparatus area and general skating. He said tl�at we don't get much
use at Rice Creek right now.
Mr. Blair mentioned that he had been approaclied to consider resodding the
footbaJ.l field i.nstead of reseeding it. He said the cost would be about $200.00.
Mr. Broi�rn said that they are going to pu� in black dirt and fill it 1T1� building
up the center and then they will reseed it. A4r. Blair asked if resodding would
be better. T9r. Brown replied that in Japan they cover over areas with seed in the
,�round, t}ien put poly over it at night and take it off in the daytime, and the
grass really groivs. He said that the Parks Department is going to try it this
summer and if that doesn't work, then they will resod it. Mr. Peterson sai.d that
he felt it ilould be cheaper to just tell the F.Y.F.A. to lay the sod if we pay for
it. Mr. Harris mentioned that he felt it should be sodded and top dressed.
INTOXICATING LIQUOR
Mr. Blair asked that we put the intoxicating liquor ordinance on the next
agenda.
