2. PU�LIC HEARING: GONSIDERATION OF A REZONING RE UEST, ZOA #74-05, BY RA0 MANUFAC=
� TURiNG COMPANY: To rezone from C-2S general shopping areas to M-1 light-indus-
' trial areas), Lots 3-15, Lots 27-32, and part of Lots 2 and 16, all in Block 9;
vacated alleys in Block 9, and the East half of vacated Main Street, lying adjacent
to Block'y, all being in Lowe11 Addition to Fridley: Park, the same being 2U0
Mississippi Street N.E. ,
Chairman Fitzpatrick read the Public Hearing notice, for the rezoning request,
ZOA #74-05, by RAO Manufacturing Eompany.
^ Mr. Robert A. Olson, Sr., Chairman of the Board, Mr. Robert A. Olson, Jr.;,
President, and Richard A. Olson, Jr., Vice President, all of RAO Manufacturing Company
were present.
Mr. Richard Olson said that RA0 Manufacturing Company was a corporation engaged
mainly in the manufacture of sheet metal stampings, deep drawings, stamp and assemblies,
along with tool and die making, engineering and related items to this process. In
1970 we purchased approximately 5 acres at 200 Mississippi Street N.E. We went ahead
with preliminary soil samples, etc., and also approached the Fridley City Council for
land use approval, which was granted. At that time we mentioned that approximately half
� this property was zoned commercial and that it would have to be rezoned industrial for
our use: The Council had no objectian ta this rezoning. He said they had been trying
to demolish the old buildings on this land and they have run into some problems with
this, but we hope to have it completed very shortly. We are planning to start construc-
tion on this property this spring with completion within six months. We alsa have a
purchase agreement of a pie shaped wedge of approximately 68 feet that was west of
their property, along the railroad right-of-way. He said this was part of Block 7,
Lowell Addition to Fridley Park and was about 3/4 of an acre that is zoned M-1. He
said they were proposing to construct a building of about 50,000 square feet which is
200 feet by 240 feet by 20 feet high. It would be built basically in the center of
the property, 220 feet fram the Easterly boundary of the property. The reason for
building at this location was because of•the underpass project on Mississippi Street,
which will limit our access to the building to the Easterly portion of the property.
Any future expansion of this building would be to the West. He presented a colored
rendering of the proposed metal building which he said would have earthy colors.
� Mr. Boardman said they did'have an option on the location of the building. T,f
for some reason, the rezoning was denied, they could locate the building on property
Planning Commission Meetinq - January 22, 1975 Page 3
that was already zoned M-1 and use the C-2S zoned property for parking. He said
� it would be better to have the proper�ty all under one zoning, for resale purposes
and because it would also be easier to administer.
Mr. Robert A. Olson, ar., said the only way they would want to use this property
was if it all had the same zoning. The property wouldn't have the same potential
otherwise. Ne said the proposed 50,000 square foot building could be expanded to
100,000 square feet if this property was all M-1. If they could only build on the
property that was presently zoned M-1, they could only expand their building to 75,000
square feet. He said the main reason for moving their business from Minneapolis
to this location was so that they would have room for expansion.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman that if this property was expanded to its maximum,
would there be enough room for parking?
Mr. Richard Olson answered Mr. Harris. He said their present plan called for
57 stalls. Under the City Code we would need 52 stalls, and if this 50,000 square
foot building was �sed to the maximum, we would need 63 stalls: On this same drawing,
we have provision for up to 100 stalls. If we went to the maximum of 100,000 square
feet, we would need 165 stalls. This would all be on the Easterly portion of the lot.
We do have room on the West for additional parking. He said they knew they had to
provide additional parking as they expanded the building, so their expansion would be
somewhat determined by this factor. He said he couldn't foresee expanding this property
to its maximum in his lifetime, and who knew what mass transit there could be at that
time, which could change parking requirements.
Mr. Harris asked what the setback requirements would be from adjoining properties?
i'`� Mr. Boardman said the property ta the West was industrial (M-1� ahd the building m et
the requirement there. South of the property was zoned R-3, and it meets the setback
requirement for that zoning. East of the proper�y the zoning'was C-2S, and it met the
setback requirements. He said there was some R-1 property across from part of the front
of the building, so the entire setback for the front of the building should be l00 feet.
RAO Manufacturing Company will be going to the Board af Appeals for a front yard variance
from 100 feet to 70 feet. Mr. Baardman said it was felt that Mississippi Street was a
. natural barrier between this property and the R-1 and would act as a buffer. If the
variance was granted, we felt it was better to have this variance on the front setback
rather than the rear yard so the building wouldn't infringe on the R-3 zoning. Mr.
Boardman continued that RAO would be using berming and landscaping across from the R-1
zoning which would be an additional buffer.
� Mr. Robert A. Olson, Sr. said he felt this was a very unique piece of land. In
view of the fact that Mississippi Street was going into an underpass situation, the
only access to all this property was on the Eastern end. It was a good thing for the
City to have this property under one ownership because of this one access. He said there
wasn't even access to service the sanitary sewer line on this property from the str�et:`
He said RA0 Would provide access for tNtis purpose. He said that no way would RA0 .want'
go ahead with the development of this property, with all the money it would cost for its
development, and take a chance on getting it all the same zoning at a future date. He.
said that at the tirre they acquired this property, there weren't any plans to upgrade
Mississippi Street.
Mr. Drigans asked how the access to this property was laid aut in relationship
� to ihe underpass? Mr. Boardman �said he thought there was about a four foot drop over
the entire parking lot, and about a 2 foot drop from the parking lot to the street. The
grade starts to drop on Mississippi Street in the vacinity of 2nd Street. Mr. Clark
said there would be about a 1% grade from the street into the parking lot of RAO. He

� Nasim Qureshi, who was City Engineer at the time, and the members of the City Council
� did visit our plant, and they were satisfied at that time tfiat this would be the proper
zoning. Whether the present Council would agree with that would be something else.
l'1
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Clark to get an opinion from the City Attorney on this
question, and get the answer in writing. Mr. Clark said that he would.
MOTION b� Drigans, seconded by Harris, that the Planning Commission continue
until February 5, 1975, the consideration of a rezoninc}'equest, ZOA #74-05, by RAO
Manufacturing Company, to rezone from C-2S (general shapping areas) to M-1 (3ight
industriaZ areas) Lots 3-15, Lots 27-32, and part of Lots 2 and 16, a11 in B1ock 9,
along with vacated alleys in B1ock 9, and the East half of vacated Main Street lying
adjacent to Block 9, a11 being in Lowe11 Addition to Fridley Park, the same being 200
Mississippi Street Northeast, to provide the administration time to research the
interpretation of the Ianguage of the Code. Upon a voice vote, alI voting aye, the
motian carried unanimously.
� Mr. Robert A. Olson, Sr. said he thought it was in the best interest of RAO�
Manufacturing Company to have this clarified also.
. Mr. Clark said they could sti11 go to the Board of Appeals and Building Standards-
Design Control meetings as scheduled. They could make their recommendations subject
to the rezoning being approved. '

between the Northerly extensions of the East and West lines of Lot 10, Block
1, Central View Manor, generally located just North of 1201 73 1/2 Avenue N.E.
5. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #75-01, CENTRAL AUTO PARTS:
Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.131, (A,8 to allow junk yards or baling of
junk or rags in a building enclosed on all sides or when completely enclosed
with a solid fence, to be located on that part of 4780, Section 12, City of
Fridley, that lies between the Northerly extension of the West line of Lot
10 and the East line of Lot 16, Block 1, Central View Manor, to allow expansion
of the boundaries of Central Auto Parts, 1201 73 1/2 Avenue N.E.
Mr, Gus Doty of Realco, Inc., and Mr. John Buzick of Central Auto Parts were
present.
Mr. Clark said these three requests should be considered together, because if
the rezoning and special use permit aren't appraved, there would be no reason to
plat this property. .
� Chairman Fitzpatrick read the Public Hearing notices on the proposed plat,'
P,S, #75=01, Central View Manor 2nd Addition, by ReaYco, Inc., the rezoning reques�,
ZOA #75-01, to rezone from C-2S to M-1, and the request for a Special Use Permit, SP
#75-01, by Central Auto Parts, all pertaining to all ar part of Section 4780, Section
� 12, City of Fridley, whichlies between Central Avenue��ind Highway #65 N.E., North of

Mr. Clark said the land that was being platted was split in half a couple of
years ago, at the zoning line by the now defunct American Auto LTStings, The East
portion of the property wa�s occupied by Gustafson Grinding, and the balance of the
property was vacant. Parcel 4780 was only 140 feet deep and 1,33� feet lonq. Mr.
Doty Wanted to have another lot split pn:this.propew�y�which would have divided this
parceT into three parts, but as you can tell from the Public Hearing notices, there
would have been lengthy Yegal descriptions. He said he advised the petitioner to plat
the property instead. This request was before the Plats & Subdivi.sions-Streets & Utilities
Subcommittee on January 15th and they recommended approval with three sti�ulations
which were (1) Provide a 15 foot drainage and utility easement along the Northerly
portion of Lot 2, and on the North-South line between Lots 2 and 3, and along the South
portion of Lot 3, (2) This approval subject to the rezoning r�equest, ZOA #75-01, and
a request for a Special Ose Permit, SP #75-01, by Central Auto Parts, being approved, and
(3} A private covenant be put on Lot 2 so that this said Lot 2, Central V�ew Manor 2nd
Addi'tion, could on�y be sald to adjacent property owners who already have street access.
Mr. C1ark'said this last stipulation was to prevent Lot 2 being sold as an isolated lot
that didn't have street access. The petitioner was agreeable to these stipulations.
Mr. Clark continued, saying that Central Auto Parts, the tentative purchaser ,
of Lot 2 of the proposed plat, has requested that the Westerly 60 feet of this lot
be rezoned the same as the balance of Lot 2, which was"M-1, and that a Special Use
Permit be granted for all of the new Lot 2, so they can expand their salvage yard,
He said that the City has had some problems with Central Auto Parts, most of them due
to the fact that they didn'�t have enough space for their operation: Their business has
^ grown faster than they anticipated, so the addition of Lot 2, should solve most of
. their problems. They would have to discontinue parking damaged and partially dis-
mantled cars in their parking lot, which was supposed to be for customer parking, and
using property across the street, which they don't own, for parking. Their business
would have to be canfined to their own property, with a screening fence.
Nir. Clark said the staff had prepared a list of stipulations for the Planning
Commission to consider in making their recommendation on the Special Use Permit. The
� fir�t ane was that there must definitely be a screening fence. The second was, that
especially along the portion t��at abuts the trailer park, there should be at least a
l.0 foot pl�ant�ing strip, like an evergreen hedge.� outside and adjacent to other zoned
praperty, to be completed by July 1, 1975. The third stipulation was that all storage,
unloading and loading of inoperative vehicles be confined within the screening fence.
(4) That parking of trucks, loaded or empty, be restricted to the area inside the
�fenced lot, (5) That all dismantling or parts salvage be done inside the existing
building, (6) No vehicle parking be allowed in the street or on any other land that
is not authorized by the City Council or the City. The last stipulation, number 7,
was that this permit be for a period of time, to expire on July 31, 1976, and not be
renewed unless all of the above stipulations were complied wfith. Mr. Clark said the
reason the staff felt this should have a yearly review was because this hasn't worked
out the way we thought when the original Special Use Permit was granted. There are
three ways the petitioner can go with this operation. Either reduce his operation or
move oui, or acquire more land for this operation.
Mr. Clark said that Central Auto Parts owned Lots 10-15, Block l, in Central
�'1 View Manor. Mr. Fitzpatrick said that was wfiy they were requesting the rezoning of
the Westerly 60 feet of Lot 2 then, sa it would be the same zoning. Mr. Clark said
that tot 2 wa5 in line with Lots 10-16, but Lot 15 belongs to another salvage yard.
Mr. Clark said there were a couple of other comments he would like to make.

in a position of liaving to condemn street-right-of-way for this praperty.

Planninq Cammission Meetinq - January 22, 1975 Page 8
Mr. Buzick said that if they had to move the fence in, they would be losing
narea again, and he thought they needed all the area they could get. He said the reason
they didn't put in the wood fence was because it was against State regulations to have
a wooden fence for this type of operation.
Mr. Doty said that as long as the fence for Fridley Auto was on the property
line alsa, he thought it was a little premature to expect Central Auto Parts to move
their fence at this time. He felt that as long as this Special Use Permit was going
to be subject to yearly review, this could be taken care of at a later time, Mr. Harris
said they could wait for the natural screer,ing between the C-2S zoning and the M-1 zaning
until the C-2S property was developed. He said the screening fence should be brought
in from the property line in this area also so the plantings could be put in at a later
time, without moving the fence. He said the natural screening (plantings) should be
started along the R-4 zoning during this years growing season.

Mr. Buzick said he wouldn't want to agree that no dismantling at all would be
done outside the building., Sometimes someone needs a daor or some other part for a
rusM job, and although they don't like to dismantle outside, in an emergency they do it.
He said that he would agree that no major dismantling be done outside the building.
The Planning Commission members agreed to this, on an emergency basis. Mr. Clark
said he would have no objection as long as this didn't cause noise pollution. He said
they could monitor the operation, and check this stipulation at the time of renewal of
this Special Use Permit.
Mr. Clark said he thought the review of-this Special Use Permit should be during
the growing season, rather than a year from today. If they should recommend more fencing
or plantings at that time, it would be easier to comply with at that time of the year.

Planning Commission Meeting - January 22, 1975 Paqe 10
Mr. Clark said he hadn't been aware of posting Public Hearing notices three
days in advance of the meeting, but he would�see that they were posted, so'they wouldn't
have to be read.
NOTE: Upon checking, the City Charter only says ordinances and resolutions have to be
read. It was the Council's decision to post these three days prior to the meeting
so they could waive the reading. There is no requirement to read the Public
Hearinq notice on anything e1se. Therefore, there shouldn't be a motion to waive
the reading of the Public Hearing notice: Instead there should be a motion to open
the Public Hearing, stating the time, and a motion to close the Public Hearing,
sta�ing the time. '
Mr. Harris said he had attended the special Couneil meeting on Saturday, January
18th. He said members of the Chamber of �ommerce were present and voiced some dis-
satisfaction with the City. He said he invited them to send a representative to the
Planning Commission workshop meetings as we were working on the City Code. :He.as.ked
the secretary to notify Mr. Dunn that the workshop meeting this month would be on
February 5th.
Mr. Langenfe1d said he had some comments on the joint meeting with the Bi�keway
Committee, Hg�� some basic eoncerns, which were:
` '.G���~'�'
1. Safety �;��"`'� G-�2�-�' ���
2. If this Committee decides to tax the indivi.dual,.� thought it would be-
no deal.
� 3. Public lighting
/
4. Proper'�notification to �ndividual residents �,���
�
5. Check sources of imanediate funding to see where,,w� would stand on a
Class I project �
6. He thought they should stick to Phase I and check more thoraughly with
the railroad, because this was a`major problem
Mr. Langenfeld said he did learn a lot at this meeting, and wanted to thank the
Chairman for the invitation.
Mr. Drigans asked that copies of the minutes of this meeting be made available
for the Planning Commission.
Mr. Harris said he agreed with Mr. Langenfeld's concerns and thought that it
came down to how this would be paid for. He said it could be paid for out of property
taxes, or they did have some other alternatives, but whether 'those alternatives would
be available with our present economy, might be in some doubt. Mr. langenfeld said
that according to the figures given at the meeting, the bikeway wouid cost $321,�80.
It was broken down into five phases and Phase I would cost $62,000, so we are talking
about a lot of money.
Mr. Urigans asked if there had been a priority set up as to what would come first,
� the bikeways or the walkways. Mr. Clark said Phase I was the bikeways. Mr. Urigans
said he felt that more people could use walkways than bikewa�s. Mr. Blair said that
when you were talking about that mucfi rnoney, he felt the City had need for other things,
such as an activity center.
Planninq Commission Meetinq January 2Z, 1975 Page 11
Mr. Narris mentioned the Civic Center at Brooklyn Center. Most of the members
/"1 said someone from their family had used this facility and were familiar with it. Mr.
Harris that this center wasn't anything fancy, but it was a very functional building.
Mr. Harris said thE Bikeway Committee started out with a survey. They found
there were 28 neighborhoods in Fridley with no cohesive force to pull them together.
We don't have one school district. There is no common denominator in the City of
Fridley. Mr. Langenfeld said he thought that one of the purposes of the bikeway
was to eradicate the natural and man-made barriers. Mr. Harris said that a civic
center, or youth center, or whatever you want to call it, could make a focal point.
Mr. Drigans said the property that the Wal1 Corporation owns would�be a good location
for something like this; because the library was already at that location.
/'1
Mr. Harris said the problem was to find funding for this purpose.
Mr. fitzpatrick said Fridley had a great need for indoor recreation facilites.
Mr. Drigans said it seemed to him that we could get some of these things, like an
indoor swimming pool and an-activity center, along with the armory. He felt there
should be a study made on how much it would cost us to have an armory large enough
to have it combined with a youth center, indoor swimming and/or other indaor recreation.
Mr. Blair said he felt this would be the easiest way for Fridley to get these facilities.
He said the indoor armory parade ground could be used for an indoor gymnasi�um. Mr.
Clark said the Council would be having a Public Hearing an the armory proposal on
February lOth. Mr. Drigans said he thought funds should be made available to have an
arhitect come up with some alternate plans for what Fridley might want to incl�de in
an armory. Mr:• Blair�said there should be plans from other armories where they had
combined facilities. Mr. Fitzpatrick said there probably were, but at their meetings
on the armory, they didn't hear of anyplace that had extensive i�door recreation. Mr.
Clark said the City could have almost anything they wanted in an armory, but they would
have to be willing to pay for it too. Mr. Drigans said that if it was something that
the National Guard could use also, the State would share in this cost, but not the
Federal Government. He said he thought the armory proposal was at the Cauncil level
prematurely, and should probably be referred back ta the Planning Commission. Mr.
Clark said it would depend upon how the Council feels about a youth center. If they
aren't in favor of this, then it goes back to just being an armory proposal. Mr.
Drigans said the armory could be a dual purpose building, and this might make it more
palatable to the commanity.

Chairman Vern Moen opened the meeting at 7;42 p.m. �
, Jerry Boardman said the idea of hav.ing a joint meeting with the Pl.anning
� Commission and Parks Commission members was to find out their views on the
Bikeway system. He explained that the bookle'- which he gave to everyone
included the goals and objectives of the comm�ttee, past minutes, and information
relating to the syste:n.
Mr. Moen said the system was set up according to different sta�es, Stages 1
being pilot bikeway,system. Stage 2 would involve tping the system in
together. Stage 3 would further complete and extend it as would Stages 4 and
5.
Mr. Harris asked how much Stage Z will cost? Mr. Boardman said the entire
� package was estima.ted at �321,OOOa The cost would be approximately $62,422
� for phase 1. The Cotal estimate on county roads was $8,900 with $3,535 worth
of signs, totaling to $I2,525. Tize estimate of city roads were $5,020, $2,946?
for signs totaling to $8,460.
Mr. Baardman went over some of the goals of the committee including safety,
high recreationaZ potential use, providing another mode of transportation,
environmental and ecological considerations, flexioility, promoting public
awareness, etc. 1�1r. Boardman said the sidewaLk system and the bilceways system
would be t�ao different proposals but proposed in the same booklet, Stage l
would be developed as mostly on-street lanesa They studied and discussed
Phase 1. Mr. Boardman showed diagrams of alternatives other cities had used
in setting up their lanes on-street, consisting of a bike lane on a one way
streeC, bike lanes with no parking, bike lane with curb divider, bzke Iane with
curb and parking, The committee discussed the nse of the system and the subject
of banning parking. Mr. Harris said it would be invaluable to invest this much
money if the system was used only 6 or 7 months a year. Mr, Boardman said
the system would be used definitely more than that, many people would use
bicycling as a modes of transportation in the winter if �here were access.
Mr. Harris questioned how the bikeways would be maintairced. Mr. Boardman said
i,t would be maintained by the City, Mr. Harris said this would adcI to the
estimated cost.
Mr. Boardmun presented the funding possibilit-�es; (1) Grants and�Aid Program
�^ (2) Latwcon - SO% £ederal, 25% state, 25%, local (3) Community Development Block
Grants throu�h the development of IIUD (4) rederal Aid Urb�n (S) MSAS - Minnesota

funclin�; is 1ega1, whaC kind oi law ehanges must be made to malce a.sater system,
� and other essential Chings relaCed to thc bikeway system.
Mr, llarris aslced Mr. Boardman wliich w�re the best estimates of how the system
would be funded. Mr. P.oardman said probably through MSAS, County parCicipation,
Streets and Traffic ConCrol Ludset, Parks and Recreation'Budget, and com.�nunity
service organizaL-ions. Mr. FIarris thouglit it was the idea to get a system in
witiiouC l_evyin� more taxes on taxpayers. rfrs. Thomas said there �aill probably
be areas that wi1l r�eed some streeC li�htin�. Mr. Boardman said they would
remu3.n with the street lights, but it may be necessary to install more street
lights in some areas such as Osborne.
A discussion was held on on-grade crossings, bridges, and overpasseso Mr, Board:nan
said one of the major costs of the sys�em is brfidge construction, intersection
. remodiiications, railroad protection, etc. H�}sbert Lindblad asked if there were
any provi§ions being made on the underpass on Mississippi wh•�le they are building.
l�ir. Boardma.n s�.id two sidecti�alks ort each side of the street is being provided,
�and then there will be striping on Mississippi. r1r. Boardma.n said he had
received a reply from Burlin��on Northern (crossin�s - 61st and 63rd) presently
bein� used for crossings anyway, and the Railroad says this is not permissable,
.and if the City would like to pursue it further it must go through the�Public
Safety Commission. Mr. Boardman suogested in some areas setting up altexnate
routes or determine whether they want ta go with an underpasso Mr. Eoardman
said they could install an overpass bridge which would be ��ui.te expensive
or pushing a pipe underneath the rai.Iroad tracks. He said it would be a good
^ recommendation to suggest a tunnel beneath the trackso
The committee further discussed off-street parking, particularly in the Com.mons
Park area, and Mr. Boardman felt the Parks Commission is going to have to make
a xecomm2ndation on it. The cor,Lmission discussed banning a�d Mr. Boardman said
at Che last m�eting they had decided upon total banning on Mississippi, Old
Central, and Osborne. Mr. Moen suggested havin� a-seasanal ban or hourly ban
•' where necessary.
Cuxba.ng was brought ug and Shirleq Caldwall suggested pre-fab curbing. Mr. Moen
said this particular type of curt�ing is discouraged in most areas, because of
the high possibility of damages to curbing especially by sno�«plowso
Jerry Boardman said After tonight's meeting, two or three more meeting5 taill
be Eield, they �aill decide definitely what will be in the proposed plan,'and
' then the Bikeway system will hold public hearings. Articles will be published
in the paper along with maps slia;aing the citizens wtiere the route system will
go� witfi an explanation of whaC the system c�ill entailo
Mrs. Calciwell said she was very much in favor oi the bike�oay system, but
felt it should be kept §eparate fram the sidewalic sysCem. Mr. Boardman said
ttie Committee had set up a vcry minor sidewaTtc sysCem with only the necessary
s�.�ecaallcs proposed. }le said Oshorne, Last River I'.oad, and 7tti Streets were
mandutory for sidewalks� but each system would be kepC separate in the plan.

Mr. Blais said that the biggest change in the rules would be in the period
times. He said that currently the Pony and PeeWee's play 10 minutes, and the Cubs
play l2 minutes. The change would have the Pony ar�l PeeWee's playirig 8 minutes
ar�d the Cubs playi.ng 10 minutes . This charige will confonn to high school rules .
He stated also that they were adding paragraph 54., whieh states when the point
difference in any of the three divisions exceeds 25 points, the r�nainder of the '
game will be played using running time. He mentioned that the time-outs at the
end of each half will be changed also. He said that there will not be charge
time-out, just a notification to the bench arxl r,lay will continue. Rule 7.3 also
has a change, in that now the timeout will be charged to the teaQn rather than the
afficials. This will ensure that the coaches can go out and make certain that the
h�y is alright when injur�l. Mr. Brown suggested that they take the 7.3 Yul.e and
revamp it thgnselves, and then cc�ne back to the Ccn�►ission when it is settled.
Mr. Blair asked Mr. Dupay and his Board to review these itens and get back to the
Ccamiission. Mr.'Dupay mentioned that he had a fe�a rule changes himself which he
would like to implenent.
Mr. Blair ccmmented that the only other item was that they wanted the weigh-ins
/"� to be conducted by a representative of the teams rather than"g�nne officials. He
said that way they can get the kids weighed in and out on the field quicker. Mr.
Nelson said that he wr�uld like to see the weigh rule changed so that nlore kids who
are overweight, cauld play. Mr. Dupay said tha.t might be scanethi.ng they could
look into. Mr. Blais ccarmented. that he wc�uld like to sQe the equi.gnent weighed
so that the boys wouldn't have to strip dawn.
_ Mr. Blais said that he wished to discuss the paragraph on participation which
states that each Jaoy shall play an equivalent to one series of dawns each half.
He said that he weuld like to see it increased, as he di.dn't feel that was enough.
He asked Mr. Dupa.y to look into it.
Mr. Blair mentioned that they should call the Park Office bet-�aeen 4:00 p.m. and
5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and on weekends they sYiould call the H.A.F. President frcan
12:00 to 1:00 p,m. in case of poor weather.
SCORFBOARD
Mr. Dupay said that he was concerned regarding the new scoreboard. He wanted
to knaw if Mr. Brawn was going to have san+cone running it. Mr. Brown'replied that
the City will be providing saneone, hut that if the F.Y.F.A. wants a P. A. System,
ti�ey will have ta provide it. He said the City would be paying saneone per game
and he will have contro� of the lights, opening the gates, opening the building,
a�d running the electric scoreboard. This will be his job. He explained that
they can't have 10 or l5 fans, etc. up in that scoreboard, as the building is not
�1 that large, plus saneone could get hurt goi.ng up and dvwn, fooling around. He said
that they will post a sign stating that it is a dangerous ladder, for the kids to
keep off.

�: Mr. Dupay asked Mr. Brc�wn about sodding the football field at Ccmnons. Mr.
Brvwn explained that they'are going to reseed it first, and if that isn't success-
ful, which it should be, then they will resod it. Mr. Nelson mentioned that they
had talked about contributing to the cost of the sod and installing it. Mr. �rawn
explained that if the reseeding is done propexly, it is guaranteed. He said that
if it doesn't wc�rk out in 1975, they would welcane the help and contribution in
1976.
�1�G FOQTBAt1_
Mrs. Caldwell brought up the point that the coaches have problesn.s with the
audience and players. She said that if there were sane sort of "clinic" for the
parents to participate in, they could better understand the ruZes, arrcl there
wr�uld be less probl�ns. She said that she already knaws several mothers who will
personally call each hane arad try to get those garents out. She said that if the
c�aches would explain the rules and etiquette of being fans it would make a hig
difference. Mr. Dupay feZt that was a good idea. ar�l suggested that Mrs. Calc��,rell
vontact Helen Bryne, the Director of Girls Flag Football. Mr. Nelson �ntioned
that last year many of the coaches ha.d a"parents night° the first few weeks of
the season and explained to th�n the rules, what excuses were acceptable for not
�attending practics, etc. Mr. Kasick said that there are new proposed rules.
When they are finalized, they will be given to the children to take hane. Mr.
• B�rc�nm mentioned that it was up to the Board to revie�a the rules. Mr. Blai.r said
that he w�uld be glad to attend the Board meeting to discuss the rule changes when
they are ready.
^
Mr. Dupay said that the association which they have formed is the Sp�rts
Association, which includes football, girls flag football, w�nen's auxiliary,
basketball, ar�1 Ba.be Ruth ba.seball. He said that Helen Bryne is h�-�ndling the
girls flag football. He said that she should have a Board of Directors. Mr.
Blair asked if the Spo�ts Association overlooks the rules arid policies of their
divisions. Mr. Dupay replied that they di.d.
Mr. Brawn discussed the fact that in the original agreements the rules and
requlations have to be approved by this Camiission. He sai.d that they were going
to have to contact Mr. Niel.sen and go aver the old agre�nents and restructure
all the sports. He said that the City puts out a grea.t deal of n�ney and they
have an obligation. He also mentioned that the Department has to take it's hat
off to all the fellows in the Football Association, for the job it does eqery year.
He said he wc>uld hate to think of what the City wc�uld have to pay if it was all
cm a dollar pPx hour value. He thanked than for all the w�ork they have done on
b�half of the citizens of Fridley. Mr. Blaix said that he also.vuished to thank th�n
for all their efforts. He thanked then for ccaning and asked them'to cane back when
they get their reorganization done.

ever is necessary in order ta get the people to park in the school parking area, be-

Mr. Blair said that the bikeway systan is designed as a transportation systan,
rather than a recreation syst�n.

Mr. Brawn stated that the phone survey on snouanobile and letter on sriowtnobiles
in Locke is for the Cannission's information. He said that there are only twc�
cities out of the entire poll that provide snowmr�bile areas on land. Z'hey are
Fridley and Edina. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Brown what he proposed to do with Locke
Park in regard to snotimiobiling. rir. Brown replied that tY� City Council approved
alternative #2, which states that snc�wmobiling is allawable and should be posted.
He said that the new state law is that if you allaw it, you must put signs stating
it is allawed. The Carer�ission discussed the fact that they feel snowmobiling will
rv�t be allowed in Fridley in a few years, due to abuse of private property, etc.

Mr. Brawn reported to the Cc�m.ission that he had received a lettes fran a
minister o£ one ot the churches in Fridley, canplaining about hockey games being
scheduled on Sundays. He said that he had given a capy ta Bob 0]mstead, President
of the Hockey Association. Mr. Blair mentioned that he had talked to Mr. O]mstead �
about the letter and Mr. Olmstead said that the conflict was not with the City
group, but with District #14, because they are scheduling the games on Saturday
an�d Sunday, and this the Hockey Association has no oontrol over. Mr. Brvwn said
� that the Hockey Association should contact District #l0 and advise then that they
' have sane concerned people. He stated that he realized that this is the.only time
they can get indoor ice, so that is why they schedule the games then, hawever, people
should have the right to go to church if they so desire.
Mrs. Caldwell suggested that the Fridley Hockey Association state they will not
pl.ay games scheduled on Sunday, but Mr. Harris pointed aut that sane kids would show
up and sane not, resulting in Fridley's games being forfeited.
. GOALIE SHOUL�ER PADS
Mr. Brawn said that Gary St�mnler had called him in regard to the goa.lie shoulder
pads. Mr. Stimmler felt that the City sl�uld provide than. Mr. Brown said that we
already provide ches protectors. Mr. Brown explained to Mr. Stimmler that the kids
probably won't wear then, they'11 thraw th�n in a corner, etc. Mr. Harris pointed
out that you w�uld have to have different sizes, and you run into a problen there.
Mr. Brown said that he felt that shoulder pads are really a personal piece of
equipnent. He said that maybe they should talk to the H.A.F. about providing than.
Mr. Harris canmented that if you start to pravide s�ulder pads for the goalies,
whexe do you draw the line. Mr. Brawn pointed out that many of the kids btiy their
awn hockey sticks, and don't even use the ones pravided by the City. •

the building but for decoration purposes only.
Mr. P�attson questioned the consistency of the r�ock wall with the rest
of the building and asked if the 1ow pitched roof must be maintained.

THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY 28� 1975 �1
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Drigans at 7:30 P.M.
� MEMBERS PRESENT: Drigans, Crowder, Gabe1, Plemel, Wahlberg
MEMBER5 ABSENT: None
OTHERS PRESENT: Howard Mattson, Engineering Aide
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to approve the minutes of the January 14, 1975
meeting as written. Upon a voice vote, there beinq no nays, the motion carried.
1. A RE UEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205.134 6, FRIDLEY CITY CODE TO REDUCE THE
SETBACK BETWEEN THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND A STREET LINE, WHEN ADJACENT TO ANOTHER
ZONING DISTRICT, (ALONG THE FRONT LOT LINE) FROM THE REQUIRED 100 FEET TO 70 FEET,
TO ALL06� THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MANUFACTURING BUILDING AND WAREHOUSE TO BE LOCATED
ON LOTS 1 THROUGH 15, AiJD LOT5 2£3 THROUGH 32, AND PART OF LOTS 16 AND 27, ALL IN
BLOCK 8, LOTS 3 THROUGH 15, AND PART OF LOTS 2, 16 AND 27 THROUGH 32, ALL IN BLOCK 9,
AND THAT PART OF BLOCh 7, LYING ADJACENT TO SAID BLOCK 8, AND THE VACATED ALLEYS IN
�LOCKS €3 AND 9, AND VACATED MAIN STREET AND VACATED ELM STREET, ALL BEING IN LOWELL
ADDITION TO FRIDLEY PARK, THE SAME BEING 200 MISSISSIPPI STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, MINN.
(RE UEST BY RAO MANUFACTURING COMPANY, 2010 NOR'1ri 4TH 5TREET, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Dick Olson, representing RA0 Manufacturing, was present to present the request.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Wahlberg, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vot�, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Chairman Drigans stated that this same property is before the Planning Commission
for rezoning and also was before Buildinq Standards-Desiqn Contro].. He said
� currentiv the Planninc7 Commission has tabled the rezonina for a leaal opinion from'
the Citv Attornev as to this tvpe of business operation (metal tabricatian) bexna
allowed in an M-1 Zonina. He said the Zoninct Code could be interpreted to exclude
it from M-1 Zoninrt and the Planninq Commission wants a lectal opinion on the intent
of this part o£ the Code. Chairman Dricrans added the petitioner has verified that
certa.in naise levels are within the standards. He said that the Board of Appeal's
action, if it is approval, should be contingent upon the approval of the rezoning.
� Mr. Dick Olson showed the plot plan of the property to the Board. He stated on
this property, the setbacks are basically determined by the adjacent zoning
districts. He said the front yard setback would usually be 35 feet but because of
the different zoning, they are required to set back l00 feet. He said the back yard
setback would usually be 25 feet but because of the different zoning and an easement
it has to be 50 feet. Mr. Olson said they have set out the building as a whole, with
maximum land use. He said they have placed the building as far to the west as
possible because of the railraad tracks, and also as far back into the lot as possible.
He said they have tried to design the building to be as wide as.the lot would allow
and still not be all stretched out. He said the building would be an all steel
building and to go to the next smaller width size, would require changing the parking
area from the side to the front. Mr. Olson said they would prefer to stay with the
50 foot rear yard setback and ask for the variance on the front yard because the
residential property to the back might be developed someday.
Mr. Olson stated that because of the proposed improvement of Mississippi Street, �
there should be no problem if the variance was granted. He said since the street
n wi11 be dipping at this location, their building will be fronting a retaining wall "
and not Mississippi Street. He said this retaining wall comes in by Main Street
and the street is depressed from there on. He added that there will be a frontage
road before Mississippi Street and the houses to the north of Mississippi 5treet so
there should be no objections from these people as RAO will not really be

encroaching on their property.
Mr. Plemel stated the plot plan shows the proposed building plus a possible future
expansion. iie asked if the expansion would also be metal. Mro Olson answered
�� that they have to plan on complete usage of the land and the eomplete building will
be all metal construetion. Mr. Olson showed the Board a colored rendering of the
building. Mr. Olson explained their building will consist of a concrete slab, a
structural steel frame for the walls and ceiling, and sculptured steel panels that
have a textured look bolted onto the frame. He added the panels are painted at
the factory and are quaranteed for 20 years. He said they are quite efficient.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked what the efficiency rating was. Mr. Olson said heat and noise
wise, the efficiency ratinq was equal to a 3 foot concrete block wall.
Mr. Olson added that because of the residential property to the north and south of
th'is building, they will have their production space in the middle of the building,
surrounded by conerete walls, plus the outside steel walls, so there should be no
problems with noise. He added that this type of building is more expensive than a
concrete building, but because af the heat savings and expansion savings, the
buildings pay for themselves. He said for expanding, a wall can be unbolted from
the frame, the additional length erected, and t}.� same wall can then be reused. He
sai.d the buildings come complete from the factory.
Mr. Crowder asked what the area of the land is and what pereentage will be used
for the building. Mr. Olson said their total building will be built in three
stages. The building they are praposing now will have 48,OOQ square feet with
the two future stages having a total of approximately 52,000 square feet. He said
they will be slightly under the 40 percent maximum coverage with the total buil.ding.
Mr. Crowder asked if there will be a problem with the parising for the total building.
� Mr. Mattson said there will be no problems with the first stage of cons�ruction.
Mr. Olson added that the use for the second aX►d trird stages of construction is
not definite as yet and the use would determine the parking spaces:�needed. He said
he believed that the Building Standards committee would have to approve the future
construction plus the additional parking necessary.
Mr. Crowder asked if the exit from this building would be onto Nli ssissippi Street.
Mr. Olson answered that Mississippi will be the only,access to the property.
Chairman Drigans asked how many people would be employeed at this building. Mr.
Olson said initially they are planning on 50 employees; 34 during the day shift
and 16 at night. He said eventually, when the total building is constructed, they
may have 165 employees with 80 to 85 on each shift. He added that he was on].y
guessing at these figures.
Mr. Crowder asked if all the loading, unloading, and parking would be on the east
side of the building. Mr. Olson answered that it would be.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked when they planned on starting construction. Mr. Olson said he
hoped in the spring, but it would depend on financing. He added it would then take
approximately 6 months to complete and they hoped to be in the building by fall.
Mr. Olson said they are now in the process of closing the deal on the land and when
it is complete, the existing farm buildings will be torn down. -
� Mr. Bob Brazil, 731-68th Avenue N.E., said he has worked for this company for many
years and there couldn't be nicer people to work for. He said this company employs
several families from Fridley and that is why they decided to locate in Fridley.

MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Growder, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote,
there being no nays, the motion carried.
^ Mrs. Wahlberg asked if th�re would be any problem with the drainage going down the
road. Mr. Mattson said this was specifically asked for by the City. Mr. Mattson
also noted that the loading on the east would con5titute side yard loading but they
have shown adequate berming to take care of this.
Mr. Crowder stated he is very glad something is going to,be done with this property.
He added this building looks very nice and he can't see where the variance would
create any problems. He said there would be no extra traffic generated on the street
past the residential property, and since Mississippi Street is to be i.mproved, the
traffic qoing into this business should not create any problems.
Mrs. Wahlberg noted also that there were no objections from the surrounding property
owners.
MQTION by Gabel, seconded by Wahlberg, to recommend to Council, approval of the
front yard variance, contingent upon the'legal opinion in reference to and ap��roval
of the rezoning before the Planning Commission. Upon a voice vote, there being n�o
nays, the motion carried.
2. A RE UEST FOR VARIANCES OF: SECTION 205.134, 4C, FRIDLEY CITY GODE, TO REDUCE THE
REAR YARD SETBACK FROM THE RE UIRED 25 FEET TO 7.5 FEET, AND, SECTION 205.135, 1F,
4A, TO REDUCE THE DISTANCE THE DRIVEWAY IS FROM A LOT LINE FROM 5 FEET TO ZERO FEET,
AND, SECTION 205.135, l, E4, TO REDUCE THE DISTANCE OFF-STREET PARKING IS AWAY FROM
THE MAIP1 BUILDING FROM 5 FEET TO ZERO FEET, AND, SECTION 205.134, 4, B2, TO REDUCE
� THE SIDE YARD SETBACK ABUTTILdG A SIDE STREET FROM THE �UIRED 35 FEET TO 33 FEET,
j�T,T. TO ALIAW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING TO BE LOCATED ON LOTS 16,
17 AND 18, BLOCK 8, ONAWAY ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 7791 ELM STitEET N.E., FRIDLEY,
MINNESOTA. (RE UEST-BY PACO, INCORPORATED, 5920 KIRKWOOD LANE, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.)
Mr. Steven Sprangler, representing Paco, Incorporated, was present to present the
request.
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Crowder, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried,
Chairman Drigans stated this property had been before the Board on November 12, 1974,
and also before Building 5tandards on November 21, 1974. Chairman Drigans read the
minutes of these meetings and also the City Council minutes concerning the above two
meetings.
N1rs. Wahlberg asked if this new plan has been before Building Standards. Mr. Mattson
answered that it was before Building Standards on January 23, 1975. He added the
plot plan has the markings on it from that meeting.
Chairman Drigans stated this proposal is for the use of three lots, whereas the
last proposal was for two, and the building has been turned around so that instead
of a zero side yard setback for the building, they are now asking for a zero side
yard setback for a driveway. The variance locations were pointed out on the plot plan.
� The variance for the Sriveway to have a zero setback was discussed.
Mro Crowder asked if there was a house to the south,on Lot l9. Mx'• �ttson said that
there was but that the land the house was on was zoned industrial. Chairman Drigans
said if this variance was denied, the driveway would have to be reduced to 15 feet
and the parking stalls slanted more,
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of January 28, 1975__ Page_4
Mr. Crowder added that the semi drivers will have to back into the parking area and �4
if there is a 5 foot green area, they will probably drive over it, especially in the
winter time. Mrs. Walberg asked about the snow removal from the parking area; would
it be pushed onto somebody elses property.
Mr. Crowder asked what the ratio was of the building to the land area. It was�
�igured out to be under 40 percent.
Mr. Pl:emel stated that this building is bigger than the first proposal but there is
one more lot, so they shouldn't need to ask for a zero variance on the driveway.
Chairman Drigans said his concern was that there is no agreement with the adjoining
property owner for the zero setback ar the snow removal. �
Mr. Mattson stated that Mr. Paschke of Paco, Inc, had indicated that he wanted to
' pick up the lots to the south of this property for another building site and then
combine the parking for both buildings. Chairman Drigans stated that Mr. Paschke
might be able to buy them but then someone else might buy them too. The Board can't
ma.ke it's decision on only a possibility.
Mr. Sprangler said that the garage for the dwelling to the south is located toward
the adjacent lot line.
The side yard'variance from 35 feet to 33 feet was then discussed. .
Mr. Crowder said because of this being a corner lot, they get caught with a 35 foot
setback on both sides. He asked what the driveway on this side (78th Avenue) of the
building was for. Mr. Sprangler said this was for a drive-in door. Mr. Crowder
asked if it will be used by semis. Mr. Sprangler said it would be used mostly by
�.vans to drive into the building.
Chairman Drigans asked if this was a speculative building. Mr. Sprangler said
that it is being listed through Thorpe so they might have a buyer for it.
Mrs. 6Vahlberg asked if the building was moved 5 feet closer to 78th Avenue, and
eliminating the 5 foot variance on the south, would this create any problems with
the aesthetics of the area. The Baard then looked at the aerial map of this area
and also the Onaway area site plan. Chairman Drigans noted that the setbacks of
the buildings from 78th Avenue are not all uniform so to move this buil.di.ng closer
to 78th Avenue would not create any special problem.
A discussion on the variance for the off-street parking next to the main building
brought out that Building Standards had stipulated a bumper rail be mounted on the
�building if the Board approved this variance. Chairman Drigans noted that this
variance along with the bumper stipulation has been approved for quite a few of
the buildings constructed in this area:
The varianc� for the rear yard was discussed. Mr. Crowder said he was more
concerned with the rear yard variance than the others. He said the Harris building,
adjacent to the rear yard, had some problems with the utility poles in the easement.
The Board was shown the Harris building plot plan. Chairman Drigans stated that
according to the plot plan, the Harris building has an 8 foot rear yard which
would leave 15� feet between the two buildings if this variance was approved. He
added that the buildings would be relatively close.
nMr. Crowder said .he would be willing to grant the same rear yard variance on this
property as was granted on the Harris property. �
. . . . _ . • . "�"�'
The Minutes of the Board of A�eals Subcammittee Meeting of January 28, 1975 Page 5
Mr. Crowder said he would like to get Mr. Paschke's reaction to moving the building
5 feet farther north. He said this would mean denying the side yard setback for the;�5
driveway from 5 feet to zero feet and increasing the side yard setback from 78th
�,,,1 Avenue from 35 feet to 28 feet. Mr.�Sprangler said he was sure Mr. Paschke'would
agree to this. Chairman Drigans said this would also allow for snow removal.
Mr. Plemel said he favors neither variance and feels the building s�ould be
shortenea.
Mr. Mattson said the normal driveway length is 25 feet, and in this case, if the
building was moved, the driveway would still be 28 feet. Chairman Drigans added
there is also a 15 foot boulevard before the street so it would not create any
visibility problems. �
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Chairman Drigans said he favored moving this building farther north as the adjacent
properties are not in line,and with the boulevard it would still be 43 feet from
the street. He sa;_� by moving it ahead, it would also allow more flexibility in the
back for the semis and snow removal. He also favored moving it as Paco does not
own the adjacent land and because they da not have an agreement for the snow removal
or the zero side yard with the property owner.
Mr. Crowder said he also felt the driveway variance should be denied and the side
yard variance approved, with the understanding that if the applicant won't cut
the building down by 5 feet, that the Board would consider granting the side yard
variance from 35 feet to 28 feet.
/', MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Crowder, to recommend to the City Council, approval
of the rear yard variance from 25 feet to 7.5 feet, and, cZeniaZ of the variance
to reduce the distance the driveway is from the lot line from 5 feet to zero feet,
and, approval of the variance to reduce the distance off street parking is away
from the main building from 5 feet to zero feet with the stipulation of a bumper
rail to be installed on the building, and, appraval of the variance to reduce the
side yard abutting a side street from 35 feet to 33 feet, with a maximuri variance
down to 28 feet if the building is moved 5 feet farther north. Upon a voice vote,
there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.

The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Drigans at 9:30 P.M.

MEMO DATE:� January 23, 1975
RE: M-1 Code interaretation for RAO Manufacturing Company
The City of Fridley's Planning Comrnission is in the process of considering
a rezoning request by RAU htanufacturing Company to rezone one portion o� their
property from C-2S to M-1, which would if granted, make all their� property one
zane, M-1 (light industrial).
� At the Commissi�n meeting of January 22, 1975, the question arose as to
whether or not the RAO P�anufacturing Cornpany would be a permit�ed:use in a M-1 -
Uistrict. The problem arose wnen it 4�ras learned that they da metal stamping �
and as per C�ty Code, Section 2U5.I32 (Uses Excluded in M-I} E, Founcfaries or.
metal fabrication �lants, appears. On the other hand, Section "Z05.131 (Uses
Permitted in M-1} states the manufacturing of many items which would.require
metaT fabrication are al�lowed.
Would you please give us a written opinian on wheth�r RA0 is a pern�itted
� use in a M=1 district. I�have included a letter from RAO which explains the
I, plant operation. If you need more clarification on their operation, please
'� call them. It should a7so be noted that they did app�ar befQre th2 City Council
� in 1971 and did receive a concept approval, so that might bear on any final decision.
� � (minutes also included.) . -
r�"'� . .
This item was contin�ted by the Planning Commissian to their meeting of
February 5, 1y75, so your response by January 31st would: be app►^eciated. ,

the City of. Fridl.ey 2orcing Cade pertaining ta I�-1 district:s. Yau indicated
in your memo that RA0 would do "metal starnping".
Fridley City Code Section 205.132 lists th�se uses that are excluded
in an M-1 districC. One of the excluded. uses is"foundries or metal fabrication
plants". The code does not specifically refer ta "metal stamping,". I presume
that metal stamping could be a type of inetal fabricatian; however, it would be
my opinion that alZ forms of inetal stamping are not to be excludecl from M-i
districts. I know that we presently have industries lacated on M-1 property
that do engage in meta3 stamping. _
It would be my opinion that the governing section on this type of
use would be 205.133, ent.itled General Performance Standards. This section
reads in part as follows: "Uses which because of the nat.ure of their apera-
tion are accompanied by excessive noise, dust, dirt, smoke, noxious gases,
odor, vibration, glare, heat or explasives shall not be permitted. These
residuaZ fea�ures shall be cansidered as excessive in the following cases:"
(The section then goes on to set acceptable standards for the above matters.)
This section also states that the city council may require the owner
or ogerator to make investigations and tests to show adherence to the perform-
ance standards. I believe that the applicant should be made aware of the
performance standards and that he should consult with the city administration
to make certai.n that the proposed use will meet these standards. The adminis-
trative staff in reviewing the plans shou�d pay particular attention to the
amount of noise or vibration that would be expected from this aperation.
Plans shauld then be devised so as to keep these items within the lim.its
permitted.
i note in the minutes of the council meeting of January Y8, ],971
� that the applicant inquired of the city prior to buying the subject propertq
. as to whether his operation would be permitted. Representatives of the company
dzscussed thea�r business operation with the city council and they were advised
�.� (
� -Z-
that said operation would. be permitted on the subject property. I am certain
that the applicant relied on this assurance in purchasing the progerty: I
believe that the city should take the same position with the applicant at this
time that it took at the time of the original inquiry; i.e. that is that the '
use is permi.tCed suhject to the city's performance standards. -
