Planning Commission Meeting - October 8, 1975 ��'�� ��Page�2� "
� a. Lots 1-2-3, Block 15, Fridley Park Addition
� Direct City Council to release the three lots on 64th and Ashton
from red tag.
Mr. Peterson said that this was a situation where when any tax delinquent
property becomes available, the Parks & Recreation puts a red tag on it because it
might fall into the a11-over program af land acquisition, because this was the
type of land we should get. He said.the Park Director said this property was not
needed, and based on that we recommended thai these lots be released, unless the
Planning Commission felt differently.
Mr. Boardman said this was in the South Half of Section 15, and was in a� .
area designated as Neighborhood 9, which has a popul��ion of 232 people. Ne said �
the recommendation for this neighborhood was that at present the low population in
this area doesn't warrant additional park land and accent should be placed on access
to adjacent park facilities. With the bikeway system, we would have that accesse
Mr. Peterson said that this property wasn't large enough for anything but a
tot lot. Mr. Boardman said that there were 13 children between 0 to 5 years old
and 26 children between 6 and 15, so this was noi a good�area for a tot lot.
Mr. Harris said there was only one tot l.ot in this entire area. Mr. Boardman
said some sort of agreement should be worked out with Stevenson Schdol and the Island
of Peace. Mr. Peterson said they did work with the schools on park programs. They hav�
' put in jungle gyms on school property so there would be a universa�l appeals to all age
� groups. He said the top priQrity in this area was access.
� Mr. Boardman said the park survey shows that the area between 64th Way to
Mississip�i was not adequately served by parks, but he didn't know if the population
in this area would justify the purchase of property. He said that v�hat they had
anticipated in this area in_the comprehensive plan was that this was a changing area.
We anticipate that future growth in this area would be more the apartment type develop-
meni, and that any recreation area that would be needed be provided by the developer of
the complex.
Mr. Harris asked what they could do for the people in this area�now? Mr. Boardman
said the �ain problem would be in providing access across East River Road. Mr. Harris
asked Mr. Peterson if he could bring this to the attention of the Parks & Recreation
Department.
Mr. Peterson said there weren't very many 4� and 5 year olds in this area, and
with the park budget for ��ext year, they weren't going to be able to provide as many
services as they did this year. They have higher priority areas, where they can serve
200 people, so this was a low priority area. We can contact the school, and see if an
agreement could be r�ached to provide some recreation there. There was no money to
pick up the delinquent taxes and assessments, so this was why we recommended releasing
these lots. .
� MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Scott, that the Planning Commission concur with
the.Parks & Recreation Commission and recommend to Council that Lots l, 2 and 3, Block 15,
Fridley Park Addition be released from the red tag for park acquisition. Upon a voice
/�`�� vote, �11.voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES: SEPTEMBER 30, 1975
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning Commission receive the
J`'1
Planning Commission Meeting - October 8, 1975 Page 3
Appeals Commission minutes of the September 30, I975 meeting. Upon a voice vote, aZI
vofing aye,-the mbtion carried unanimously. �
a. Planning Commission recommendation on Appeals Commission alternate procedure
for handling variances on residential property. � . �
Mr. Drigans said this had been discussed at the last Planning Commission meeting
but no recommendation had been made. Ne said that they were asking �hat Ordinance No.
584 be amended to include this recommendation and also to include something that had
just been policy before. This was the notification of all adjacent property owners
within 200 feet of the variance locati�n.
. Mr. Drigans said the problem was the amount of time it takes to process a
variance (about six weeks) and this was a�particular hardship in a residential area. •
The Appeals Corr�nission felt this was a particular problem for people who did not know
the procedure to follow when they wanted to bui1d a garage or an addition to their
home. These people are usually not in the construction trade, and they want to modi�y
their residence i:: some way, and are usually going �o do the job themselves. They dr•aw
up their plans, have the financing, and then come in for a building permito .Then they
find out they need a variance which has to be approved before the building permit can
be issued. When they find out they will�have to wait a�minumum of s�i���weeks to get
variance approval it creates a lot of animosity. Residents relt they were be�ng
harassed by the administrative staff. When they appear before the Appeals Commission
they usually say they didn't know they would need a variance.
The Appeals Commission felt
r.-� could make the final decision on.
� only). All other zaning districts
for'the Appeals Commission to give
there were some variances the Appeals Commission
These would be on residential property (R-1 Zoning
would go through�the normal procedure. In order
final approval four things would be necessaryo
1. There would have to be unanimou�s' agreement of the Appeals Commission.
2. The staff would have to concur with the recommendation of the Appeals Commission
3. The general public attending the meeting or responding to the notice of the
public hearing would have no objections. �
4. The petitioner would have to be in agreement with the recommendation. .
If there was any disagreement, the variance would go through the normal procedure, and
would be forwarded to the City Council for final recommendation. ��
� Mr. Peterson said he thought the recommendation was a sound one, and one that he
agreed with, but he was curious as to why staff agreement was included. In his opinian.,
the staff function was to advise and carry out, and with this recommendation, the
Appeals Commission was giving staff line responsibility. He said he got nervous and
upset about giving staff �ine responsibilities because this tends to take staff out
of the relationship they were supposed to have and puts them�in�the.area where the
Cammission and general public are supposed to be.
Mr. Drigans said the reason they included the staff was the fact that the staff
deals with the building code on a daily basis. They know what variances have be�n
�, granted in an area, and what type of variances have been granted before. Their function
was one of review to see if something was a.consistent variance.. They have the records.
V He felt that staff input was good input and provided another check and balance.
Mr. Peterson said he �vould suppart this recommendation either way, but if the
Planning Commissio� Meeting - October 8, 1975 � Page 4
✓� Appeals Commission agrees on a variance unanimously and the adjoining neighbors
concur, he thought this was all the checks and balances needed.
Mr. Scott said he supported the recommendation. He said that he noted�that
u�der the section Project Committees, this section of the ordinance did not have
the statement that the project committee shall be chaired by a member of the Commission.
He said he would like that statement taken out of the ordinance for the Human Resources
Commission.
Mr. Boardman said this was an oversight and would be added to the Appeals
Commission section along with the other amendments.
Mr. Scott said he would still like to see this section taken out of their section
of the ordinance. They have so many project committees going that this stipulation
only allowed the Commissioner to give "tokenism" to the pro3ect committee. He said �
that most of thei�. project committees meet weeklyy an� each Commissioner was in��olved
with more than one project committee, so this was creating a real hardshipe He said
the reason they had asked to meet t�vice a month was because the second meeting was
going to be a Human Resources Forum meeting, so they could get reports and give direction
to the project committees. He said he had no objection io a Commissioner ac•ting as li���on.
Mr. Boardman said he would try to get this request on the conference meeting of
the Council, and Mr. Scott could discuss this with the Council at that time. Mr.
Peterson said he agreed with Mr. Scott, because the Commissioners from Parks &
Recreation didn't fieel they had this much time to give to project committees either.
r,
. MOTION by Drigans, seconded by 5cott, that the Planning Commission recommend
to Council that Ordinance 1Jo. 584 be amended to inc.Zvde the recommendations of the
Appeals Commission from their meeting of September I6, 1975. Upon a voice vote, aZ1
voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
_, Mr. Scott said he should have brought it up at the time the Human Resources
minutes were'received that there was a recommendation that the traftic hazard presented
by Burlington Northern's electrical signals at.the s��itch yards on Northbound .
East River Road at night b� brought up at the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Sco�t
said maybe staff could check on this.
RECEIVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MINUTES: OCTOBER 1, 1975
Mr. Bergman made som� correc�ions to the Goals and Objectives of the Community
D�velopment Commission for clarification. (*Note: These corrected goals and objectives
will appear in next agenda).
MOTIDN by Bergman thar the PZanning Commission receive the amended goals and'
objectives of the Community Development Commission. � _'.
Mr. Drigans said po�nt of order. He said that as these goals and objectives
were going to be discussed la�er on in the agenda, they should be received then.
Mr. Bergman revised his motion, seconded by Scott, that the Planning Commission
� received the amended Community Development minutes of the October 1, 1975 meeting. Upon

2. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #75-05, BY ROBERT OLMSTEAD: To rezone fro�n
C-1S local shopping areas to R-2 two family�dw7ling areas Lot 14, Auditor's
Subdivision No. 129, except the East 225 feet, being that part of Lo� 14 not
zoned R-1 (single family dwelling areas), gener•ally located at Fireside Drive

Mr. Robert Olmstead was present.
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Langenfeld, that the P1ann.�ng Corrmliss.i'on .open
the Public Hearing on rezoning request, ZOA #75-05, by Robert 0lmstead. Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the Public Hearing open at 9:00 �.M.
Mr. Boardman said there was a petition to receive on this requesto
Mr. Harris�'said this was peti�ion Noo 19-1975�dated October 8, 1975 which
rea�d "We the undersigned prope�°ty owners of single family dwellings and residents of
the area around and adjacent io Lot 14, Auditor's Subdivision No. 129, al1 lying in the
North Half of Section 12, T-30, R-24, City of Fridley, County of Anoka, Minnesoia,
generally located at Fireside Drive N.E. and Central Avenu� N.Ee, hereby petition the
Planning Commission of the City of Fridley to deny ihe requesi, ZQA #75-05, to rezone
the C-1S District to any zone other than R-1. That the undersigned represent the
majority of single family dwlling-property.owners a�ound and adjacent to ihe above
mentioned property and hereby volun'carily signi�y our objection to such rezoning
requests and respectfully request the Planning Commission to deny such reques�s."
Mr. Harri� said there were signatures from 15 residences in the area. (Only six �n
the 350' radius of the proper�y). '
MOTION by Scott, seconded by Langenfeld, that the PZanning Commission receive -
Petition No. 1975, in opposition to any rezoning exce,pt to R-1. Upon a voice vote,
a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
� Mr. Boardman said the first re� t to split �this lo� was back in 1965, which
subsequently was dropped. In �i�i�� was a petition to split one lot from the
commercial property and to allow this split off lot �o be developed as R-2. At �ihe
time of this request you could construct a double bungalow�on commercial property.
The requesi was to split off 75' b�t when this wa� recorded at the County, it was
recorded as 80 feet. The presen� lot split request was going to match up with whai
the Gounty had, so there will be twc� 80' lots and one 90' lot. Under the present zoning
ordinance, you cannot building R-2 in a commercial area, s� this was the reason for
the rezoning request. You also cannot building a double bungalow on a 75' lot.
Mr. Robert Olmstead said that with the
clarify the legal descripicion once and for all
lo� split reqUest they were trying to
because this had become ar�mish-m�sh beteveen�;

1965 and 1967.
� Mr. Harris said the lot split request was actually the next item on the
agenda. -
Mr. Olmstead said that in answer to the petition against this rezoning of this
property, the double bungalow that would be built on parcel 930, the parcel closest
to the present R-1 zoning, would be a split entry type of construction, and would fit
into the residential atmosphere of the area. He said they already had a buyer for �
this parcel, and if this rezoning went-through wi-thout a hitch, he�did have the f�nancing.
He said they would have to break ground be�'ore the end of the year. Mr, Olmstead
presented a picture of a split entry double bungalow that had been built.in another area
that wou1d be the same as what they were proposing to build on this property. He also
presented pictures of the property and the homes adja�ent to this property. Mr. Olmst�ad
said the old piano store was on this property.
Mr. Harris asked if the piano store would be ta'r'n dovrn. Mr. Olmstead said he
had oral agi�eerre� � that i t woul d be. �
Mr. Olson said that there had been complaints on this piano�store, but�the
structure was s'ound so it could not be condemned. It has been boarded upe Mr. Harris
said when this was rezoned, the piano store would become a legal. non-conforming use,
and he thought it should be a stipulation of the rezoning that it be removed.
Mr. Boardman said �hat just South of 'this property, the zoning ►�aas C-R1 and thi�
was where the Planning Commission had just approved a building permit for a commercial
enterprise of office and staraye space. South of that was the Frontier Club. Across
!�� ti�e stree�r from this proper�y it was zoned M-2 (h�avy industrial) and kitty-corner
`A- , fro�n the property was the mobile hom� park. He said thatjust North and East of this
.property it was zoned R-1.
Mr. Dale Hagen, 7478 Hayes Street N.E., said he was r,epresenting the people
who had signed the"petition..� He said his house was built in 1965 and happened to be
the first house in thP area�. He said that subsequently the other homes were bui1�
and they h�.d�all been well maintained, so this was a nice area of Fridley. They all
felt that single family homes were the best use•of this.vacant property. He also stated
that the old piano store was a safety hazard to �he area. He said that although �his
was boarded up, it was always being 6roken in�roy and it looked like a junk yard. He
said he had talked to Judge Wargo, the owner of the property,'and also to Counci7o He
said that both the Mayor and his Councilman, Walt Starwait had been out to see him
about this property, but so far nothing had been done.
At this poin� there was a discussion between all members of the Planning Commission,
staff present, and with Mr. Hagen, in which the following points were made:
1. If this property wasn't rezoned, it could be developed commercially.
2. The R-2 zoning would be a good buffer between the corrnnercial and industrial
area and the existing R-1 property.
3. The property owner was pe�itioning to have this property zoned R-2, not R-1,
� and the P1«nning Commission and Council could not rezone proper�y to a
_� . different zoning than what the property owr.er wanted unless they were prepared
° to defend that change in court. The property owner has his rights.
4. The Planning Commission kept asking P�Ir. Hagen i�F he understood their positior,
�
Planning Commission Meeting October 8, 1975 "'����Page'� "__
and the alternates, and Mr. Hagen kept saying.that he did, but he still
didn't want the property rezoned to�anything but R-1.
Mr. Hagen asked the Planning Commissi�on that if the neighborhood got together
and could negotiate the purchase of this property, �if they could then requ�st that
it be rezoned to R-1. Mr. Harris said that they could, in that event. Mr. Hagen
said he was disappointed that the other people who signed the petition were.not
Nresent at this meeting. They had said they would be here. �
Mr. Olmstead said he had talked to the people who owned the residential property
closest to the property he wanted to rezone. He said he didn'� hear about any opposition,
they just listened and didn't giv.e much response.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Hagen and Mr. Olmstead what they thought the value of
their property would be valued a� by the tax assessor. Mr. Hagen. said the value
of the homes as given by the assessor's office would be around $28,000. �r. Olmstead
said he didn't know what value the tax assessor would put on ihe doubie bungal�wy but
it would cost about $53,000 to build and the owner would live in one unit. ".�r. Drigans
said he didn't feel that this would be detrimental to the residential area, and might
be more of an improvement. Mr. Hagen said he had ng doub�. that these would be fine
double bungalows, but single family homes would be �inet°.

4. CONTINUED: REVIEW OF RROPOSED JUNK VEHICLE ORDINANCE,. SECTION 123
Planning Commission Meeting - Octobmr 8, 1975 Page 8 �
Mr.'Olson said that the recorrenendation from the Environmental Commission�
had been incorporated into the ordinance in paragrapfi 123.03 which read that this
�� ordinance would not apply to a single inoperable vehicle which is in the reasonable
process of restoration to�an operable vehicle, provided such yehicle does not
. constitute a nuisance. One other point that was.made clear to him in ta�lking with
Howard Rick, a Lieutenant in the Police Department was that we no longer have a
Chief of Police, so the first sentence in paragraph 123.04 should read " The City
or its duly authorized agent..... Mr. Olson said he took this phrase from the
. � Abandoned Motor Vehicle sec�ion of the code. �
The other question that was raised at the previous meeting was on impounding.
He said that in checking with the police department on abandoned motor vehicles, they
have incurred a little over $200 in expense and this was projected to be about $400.
This was expense the City never got a return on. He said he thought that referring
the junk vehicle ordinance to Chapter 114 of the code with the statement that "Such
vehicle shall be impounded until lawfully claimed or disposed of in accordance with
Chapter 114 of the City Code" was good rather than to set up a different method for
this ordinance.
Mr. Olson gave each Planning Commission member a copy of the contract for�
Towing, Storage and Impounding of Vehicles for the City of Fridley held by Shorty's
Towing. He said that Sec�ion 6, A, s�ates that on City ordered -tows of abandoned
Motor�Vehicles.....the City guarantees payment of towing charges in accordance with
the contract rates9 and in�addition, the City wi11 pay the contractor storage under
contract rates not to exceed the amount received from the sale of such vehicle at
public auction. He said ihe normal procedure was when an abandoned motor vehicle
was removed from public proper�ty or on private property without the consent of the
propErty owner, was that'SFiorty would be notified and he would go in and remove such
vehicle.to his storage area. A letter is sent to the owner that the vehicle can
be claimed. If the vehicle was claimed, there was no expense to the City. If the
vehicle was never claimed, then Shorty takes it to his storage yard and the City
receives a bill for no more than $10 if it was just towed away and the fee would be
$20 if it had to be dollied and towed away. The City was not charged a storage fee.
� Then, there would come a time when the vehicle would be sold at public auction if..
not claimed, to recover the money. If the vehicle was s.old for say $20, that money
would go directly to the City to pay the towing charge. If the vehicle was sold for
.$25, the City would get the $20 and Shorty would get the $5 to pay for the storage
charges. He said that if a vehicle had been stored for 10 days and the s�:orage fee
should be $30. Then if a vehicle was sold for $55, $20 of this would go dir��tly to
the City to pay for the towing bill, $30 would go to Shorty`s for the storage, and
the extra $5 would go to the general fund. �
_ Mr. Harris said this was fine as long as scrap iron�was valuable. Mr. Olson
said that if the junk vehicle ordinance was adopted, he didn`t feel they would be,
impounding more than 4 cars a year, because this would be used as a last resort when
the problem couldn't be dealt with in any other way. He just couldn't foresee a
problem with this section of the ord�nance. He said he felt it wou1d be good to have
this leverage to work with, and it would be a tool to help enforce this ordinance.
Mr. Olson said he cbuld issue a citation also, and hopefully this would go back into �
the general fund. Mr. Harris said he was just concerned about the taxpayers picking �
.' ��p the bill for junk cars, but•it didn't seem as this was .going to be that large of '
an expense. � . , I
i�� I
Mr. Bergman said he only had one question on this ordinace, and that was the 96 �
hours. Mr. Olson said he would be willing to change this to 10 days, because this
' had been a concern of the Environmental Commission also. He said he. had used 96 �.-��'�
. �, �
'
, ���
Planning Commission Meeting - October 8, 1975 �� '��" �'�Qage_ 9�'
hours because this was the time in Chapier 39 of the old code.
� Mr. Bergman said he felt 10 days was more realistic. He said he also had a
question on the timing. .If someone called in and complained about a junk car
. that had been. on a property for two weeks, would.the owner of the vehicl�e already
be in violation of this ordinance? Mr. Olson said no. It would be 10 days after
notification by the City. Mr. Bergman said he thought this was what the ordinance
should say, rather than have it impl.ied, Mr. Olson said this would be included in
. the final draft of the ordinance.
Mr. Olson said he woul.d be using Paragraph 123.03 the most in this ordinance.
He said this would be used to either have the junk car removed from the pnoperty,
or they would have to make it operable or license it, or else store it in��an
enclosed building.
Mr. Olson said the purpose of this ordinance was to keep junk cars out of
residential areas.
MOTION by Bergman, seconded b� Scott, that the PZanning Commission recommend
to Council approval of ihe proposed junk vehicle ordinance, Chapter 123, as amended
at this meeting. Upon a voice vote, aZ1 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Scott said they should handle Item 7 on the agenda as th� next�iiem,�because
the City calendar had to�go �o press: C�iairman Harris agreed.
5. REVIEW CALANDAR DATES�FOR COMMISSION MEETINGS
� Mr. Boardman explained that there had to enough time between the Commission
� meeting and the preparation of the Planning Commission agenda so that the minutes
of the Commissions could be prepared. °
Mr. Bergman said the Community Development Commission �vould mee� on any Tuesday
that was open. ' '
Mr. Drigans said the Appeals Commission would.continue to meet two Tuesdays a
month according to their present schedule.
Mr. Bergman.said the Human Resources Commission wanted to meet twice a month
instead of once� because the second meeting would be the Human Resources Forum meeting.
He sa�d they wanted to meet the first and third Thursdays, except in January, a�hen
it would be the second and fourth Thursday. -
Mr. Boardman said this was in conflict with the Env�ironmental Commission who had
asked previously to meet the third Thursday of the month. He said the same secretary
t�ok the minutes of both these Cor�nissions, and they were public meetings, so this
could also be a conflict for citizens who might be interested in both Commissions. He
said it would also be a conflict for staff. Mr. Boardman said it has happened that
he had to attend a Community Development Commission meeting and the Environmental
Commission meeting on the same evening.
.� . Mr. Langenfeld asked if the staff could poll the Environmenta1 Cor�miission
members the next morning to see if they would agree to a different Thursday. He
�� couldn't agree to a different Thursday because they had made a motion to meet on
the third Thursday. Mr. Olson said he would do this.
Mr. Boardman said he would fit the Parks � Recreation Commmission into the
