Mr. Scott said he would lil:e to c1arify some things about S.A.C.�. that were brought out at this meeting. He said Lhere was a recommendation that this be a County project, but the County didn't want to get involved in an area-wide information and referral service. The information a�id referral service proposed by S.A.C.A. Uru;fld be mcr� local than area-wide, and would provide the service for local �-esidents. Ne said the City Ccuncil did allocate the $500 to S.A.C.A. and they have since been to the Columbia Heigh�s Numan Rights Commission, where.they were well received, with no finai decision on the allocation of funds. He said that the CEiA employee that was working for the Numan Resources Commission said that her first finding was that an information and referra.l service was needed ir Fridley. Mr. Drigans said ihat he felt this service was going to be utilized by the citizens of Anoka County. Mr. Scott said this service would only be made known in the cities in Southern ttnoka Couni„�, Spring Lake Park, Columbia Heights and Fridley. Mr. Drigans said �ie fielt ihat this was opening Pandora's Box because this organizatiun had a6ditio�al ideas, and �o far, we were the only City who was participating in this fu��ding, �nd he thought they would be back for additional funding. He felt that ali tne non-profit organizations in Fri!dley would feel that they had the same right to get funding from the City.for their pet project and he thought there should te a lire dra�a�n someolace. He said he thouyht it was a good idea and it was needFd, but was Chis v�hat our tax dollar was supposed to be going for? He ihought there cculd hav� been sone other type of fund raising tried before they came to the City. Mr. Harris said he felt ihat how the City spent their money was a matter of priorities. Mr. Bergman said that on page 7i under new appointments to member commissions, he said he warted the first sertence amended to say that one member had only � atCended a few meet�ngs.

This wou7d be after they got input from some of the other Commissions. UPON a voice vote, aI2 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. RECEIVE APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES: DECEMBER 30, i975 MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Langenfeld, that the Planning Commission recieve the Appeals Commission minutes of the meeting of December 30, 1975.

The building design is similar to other Paco buildings in the area. There is ample parking space with 8 stalls needed and 10 stalls provtded. Additional parking space can be obtained on the oroperty to the south through a joint agreement when needed. The landscapiny is similar to other buildings in the area, however, additional landscaping in ihe front of the Luildtng would accent the property. ENGINEERING: Poured concrete curbing should be provided in the parking iot area. ENVIRONMENT: The proposed project will fit in we.11 viith the other buildings in this area.

Minneapolis has a policy guide type prcgram that he would like to use as a format in he7ping to set up the Planning Commission goals and o6jective5. It has set up a certain goal with the objectives, and from that they have set up their principle policies on it, and arith these prir,ciple policies, they set up the�r pr�gram policies and also illustrative targets and performance criteria. They then show how they wil� fit in�o program �udgeting. He said that in this way we can be sure that the goa?s and objectives that are set up are related to the budget as they should be. . � � Mr. Boardman said that when the Plar.ning Commission goals and objectives have been determined they v+ou7d fit very nicely into this type of system, because by setting up these goals and objectives, and then breaking them down into policy and implementation programs, you would a;ready have programs that they were working on. It will give a good aid in estab1ishin9 our priorities. We know how much money we will have in the coming years, and we can break it down into priorities that we have listed under our goals and objectives. Ne thought this was a good direction to think about. Mr. Peterson asked if the proposed housing plan would be part of the Planning Commission's 9oals and ob3ec�ives? Mr. aoardman said this was the next thing he wanted to discuss. He said the Planning Canmission should take some kind of a stand on the goals and objectives in the housing plan before this plan goes to the City Counci7. MOPION by Drigans, secoaded by Scott, that the Planning Commisszon receice the rouqht draft of the Comprehensive Housinq P1an. Upon a voice s�ote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimpus.2y. Mr. Boardman said the Planning Comrrission would not be discussing this plan unti1 they had input from the member Conunissions. Mr. Langenfeld asked if the way the goals and objectives were incorporated into the housing plan was the �eay other goals and objectives would be uaorked into other plans, Mr. Boar�man said that when the goals and objectives were established by the Planning Commission and the City Cnuncil, ther these goals anc+ objectives would be the goals and objectives of the City. With comprehensive pla��ning, we wnuld plug those goals and objectives into that p1an. Mr. Drigans asked Mr. [ioardman to explain to Lillian Meyer, representative of the League of Women Voters, vrhat had been done on the goais and objectives by the member Commissions and where they were in this whole program. Mr. pet�rson said that Ms. Meyer had been present at the Parks & Recrea±icn Commission meeting when they had worked on their yoais and objectives. Mr. Boardr.�an said that up to this point, the City hzd never established viable yoals and objectives io determine what direction tney should take in the `uture. Ne said the thought behind the reorganization of the Planning Commission was that they becc�nie more involved in the policy decisions and recommenda±ion> to the City Council. As they are the inair, planning body, they should be involved in fuCure ptannin9. Ir was deiermined that the first thing they would need would be c�oals and ohjectives, 7hese goais and objectives wouid set the pace and policies to be establishcd for the next 10 to 15 years. He said that each member Commission made iheir -�'°�" Planning Commission Meeting - January 7, 1976 Page 4 recommendations to the Pianning Commission on the goals and objectiVes for their particular area of interest, which were reviewed by the Planning Comnission. Now it was up to the Planniny Commission to start putting these things toqeth� to determine some viable goals and objectives. Tfiese will then go to the Cit Council. Mr. Peterson asked what format they were going to use to estabTish their goals and objectives? Mr. Doardman said they would follow the format that he had mentioned before as a po7icy guide he had received from Minneapolis. He said he had copies of this guide for each member of the Commission which they could study to see how this applied to what thay were trying to do. He said the goal areas could be environment, parks & recreation, human resources, health, housing, etc. The first thing they would have to establish were the goal areas. He said these could cover broad areas or specific areas. Mr. Scott said he ]iked this format. There was discussion by the members of the Planning Commission that the goals and objecti!•�s that had been established by member Commissions be combined and used as'a beginning by the Plannin9 Commission in establishing their goals and objectives. Mr, Bergman said he wou7d like to take all the comments made and combine them in a motion. He said he didn't see why ttiey should try to do something as .a group that adm9nistration could do in one tenth of the time and in very good fashion. MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Peterson, that the P1ann.ing Commission re st of the administration that the goais and objectives as developed by member Co�s- sions be grouped or subjectized as identified by these goals and objectives, and bring them back to the Planning Cor�mission in an organized, consolidated Fashion, eliminating dup2ications, for Planning Commission review. Mr. Peterson said that the Planrring Commission would sti11 have the individual packets of the original goals and objecti��es of each Commission so that if they felt that something their particular Commission felt strongly about wasn't included in this consolidation, that iommission member could bring it up at the time of the review. Mr. Langenfeld sai� he wouldn't want the intent of some of the member Comnission's goals and objectives completely changed or lost in this consolidation, but he ttrought this was the best way to start. Mr. Scoti said he wou7d speak against this mot�on, because he thought that by asking staff to esta6lish ti�e goals we would be 7osing the citizen input from the planning process which he feit shou7d be a concern of the Planning Commission. Ne said that if the Pianning Commission would establish the goal areas, the statements that would follow those goals could be sorted out later. Ne said he thought they should get staff guidance on the goal areas. rather than have the staff gurde us. He didn't think it would be a 6urdensome task for this Commission to determine it's broad goal areas. He sai� the goal statements could be sorted out later. Mr. Bergman said he was not asking adininistration t� deierinine the goal areas because he thought the,y ��ere already speiTed out in the member C�mmission's goals and objectives. He was iust askinq the staff to oraanize the objectives under tfie goals already established so there wouldn't be duplication. He said he w�d the goals a�d objectives combined into a fnrmat that the Planning Commission cou d deal with. Mr, Langenfeid said 'ne didn't feel that in anyway this motion was eliminating the citizen input. _ . �,!s�- � � � Planning Commission Meeting - January 7 1976 Page 5 Mr. Petersan said he had seconded the motion because he felt the meinber Commissions had already given tha dir-ection they wanted to go, and he felt the member Cor,ni�issions had more citizen participation in formulating their goals . and o6jectives than the Planniny Commission. Chairman Harris asked hir. Boardman if they were going to discuss the goals and objectives of the proposed housing plan at th�is meeting. P4r. Boardman said he thought they wouid. Mr. Peterson said he thought this question was out of order because he didn't think they shou7d be discussing anything in the proposed comprehensive housing plan untii they got input from the member Commissions. Mr. Boardman said that it could be possible that the Planning Commission wouid have more goals than were brought out by the member Commissions because they wili cover a broader area. He said.he would like to have the housing goals disa,ssed at this meeting, because we already knew that will be one of the goal areas of tf:e Planning Cor�nission. The Coripreheensive Nousing Plan is now fn the process of b2�ng reviewed, and the goals and abjec±ives for housing have already been approved by the member Commissions. He said the Planning Commisssion already had input from the member Commissions on housing, and he thought they should get into these goa7s and objectives before they have the p�blic hearing on the proposed Comprehensive Housing Plan. Mr. Bergman said he would like to clarifiy his motien. It was merely to request that the City adminis±ration do some yrouping under subjects already quite broad in scope. Ne said there were a lot of duplications, and he thought staff could do this much faster than we could at this meeting, without losing the context of the total goals and objectives, and asking the staff to present this back to �as. This would give the Planning CeRanission the opportunity to check it against what our own Commission had recommended. He didn'� see how they could lose anything with that checking �pportunity. He said what Mr. Boardnian had done with the goals and objectives in the proposed hausing p1an was what he wanted done with all the goals and objectives, He said that at the Community Oevelopment Commission meeting, they had checked the goals and objectives in the housing plan, and felt that none of the context of their Commission had been lost. He thought this would save the Planning Commission a lot of time. Mr. Scott said he thought he had misunderstood the motion. Mr. Drigans said he thought one of the things that had been overlooked was the tittiirig. He said that when the memb�•r goals and objectives were reviewed by the Planning Commission, there were suggested changes and additions made, and he had never found in any of the member Commission minutes that these changes or additions have ever been addressed by the member Commissions, so he didn`t see how administration could take the original ooals and objectives and work from them. fle thought it was important that the flanning Ccrtenission had spent many hours reviewing the goals and ebjectives, �ut he hadn't seen any revisions as yet. Mr. Boardman said he didn't think this was sup�osed to be a question and answer type thing where the Commission would send u� their recommendations fcr goals and objectives and the Planning Commision tiaoul� send them back for recoimnenda- tions for changes, so that each Com�ission �vould send up goals and objectives that were pleasing to the Planning Cnmmission. This was just meant to be input from the member Comnissions, and if i,he Planniry Cuir�n�ission wants to mal:e changes or, that input, the Planning Commission can make the changes. Mr. Drigans said he felt that the Planning Lommission had not seen th� frui± of their work on these goals and objectives. Mr. Boardman said �!iis was because the Planning Commission still had a lot of work to do on these goals and objectives. Mr. Langr.nfeld said that all the time the goals and ob�ectiues were being reviewed, it t��as stressed that these were only recommen�lations and were not binding as hard and fiast rules. . . . . . . . . � � "aYo14f4'TV'9' Planning Commission Meetinq - Januarv 7, 1976 Page 6 "w, Mr. Boardman said that under the reorganization, the Planning Commission was given the sole responsibility for recommending policy decisions to the City P annin Commission for their i ommissions ma be asked b the 1 g Council. Member C Y Y ber f n tion of the mem bt te rimar uc recommendations on policy decisions, u h p y � � Comnissions was the implemeniation of policy decisions. UPON A VOICE VOTE, a11 voting aye, the motion carried ❑nanimously. C6airman Harris said he thought they should talk about housing goals. Mr. Drigans asked if the housing goals in.the comprehensive housing plan were taken from the original recommendations, or if the changes recommended by the Planning Commission had been incorporated into them. Mr. Boardman said they had been taken from the original goals and objectives as proposed by the member Commissions. Mr. $ergman said his Com mission had reviewed the housing plan at their last meeting and had paid particu7ar attention to the housing goals and objectives. He said they had recommended that some changes be made. We also suggusted that they drop.the CommissiUn titles. He said the Community Development Commission was satisfied with the goals and objectives in this housing code, and he thought eacn Commissioner couid review it the same way when tF�� goals and objectives come back in groupings from the administration. Mr. Boardman said the Commission headings would be dropped, but in the rough draft they felt they had to have something to relate to. Chairman Harris asked when they wanted to get off the subject of procedure and get on with the housing goals and objectives. t+lr. Bergman said he thought the housing goals and objectives should be included with the other groupings they were asking the adninistration to prepare. Mr. Langenfeld said he thought they might have to drop their other goals� just for the present and get going on the housing goals and objectives. Mr. Scott said he agreed with this suggestion. Mr. Berqman said that the Community Development Commission would still be reviewing the Comprehensive Nousing P]an, with these goals and objectives, at their next meeting, and it seemed out of context for the Pianning Commission to be reviewing them at this meeting. Mr. Boardman said the housing goals and objectives were recommended by the member Commissions to the Pianning Commission, and the Planning Co�nission had reviewed those recommendations, so he didn't feel it was out of context for the Planning Cammission to review the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan at tnis meeting. He said the only reason these goals and objectives were used in the plan was because the Planning Commission hadn't set up any goals and objectives on housing. If we don't do this at this meeting, we will only have the January 21st meeting to review the entire comprehensive plan before the public hearing on January 28th. Mr. Bergman asked Mr. Boardman if he felt all the duplications had been eliminated. Mr. Boardman said he couldn't say that all the dupiication had been eliminated, but pretty much so. Ne said there were four goals f'rom the Community Development Commission, and one goal from Human Resources, and the goals didn't have to be aooroved as they were laid out. He said he wanted the Planning Commission to look at the contents of each goal and see if that was the direction they wanted to go. Mr. Peterson said thai goal #3 states "bevelop, maintain and enfbrce a planned, well 6alanced land use system". He felt that with th�s goal you would have to be looi;ing at open space and park areas, because housing w�thout parks� or parks without housing, was not consistent, yet in the Parks & Recreation Commission goals and objectives, we have a goal of providing people oriented . ''�^ Planning Cottnnission Meetina - January 7, 1976 Page 7 parks and yet there was nothing said about that type of land use under goal #3. � He said that he agreed with Mr. Eergman that until the grouping was done on all the goals and objectives, he tfiought the Planning Corrmission would be wasting their time. MOTION by Peterson, seconded by 7,zngenfeld, that the Planning Commission take a 15 minute brea k, and then come back and from 10:00 to Z1:00 P.M. discuss the housing goals to give staff some direction. Mr. Boardman said the housing goals are of primary importance in putting the Comprehensive Housing Plan together. Mr. Narris said the survey tells us pretty much where we were. We need to ask ourselves what we are trying to accomplish ard where we want to go from here. UPON a voic<� vote, a11 voting age, the ��ion carried ananimously. Chairman Harris declared a recess at 9:45 P.M. and reconvened the meeting at 10:00 P.M. Mr. Boardman said he would rather 3ee somethin�g in the goals 7ike.what was in the Minneapolis policy guide which states "Assure individuals and families, 'witliout discrimination, a choice of we11-designed types of housing in varied, distinctive and saiisfying ]iving environroents at costs which do not compromise other � essential needs and wants". � MOTSON by Scott, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning Commission approve Goal #2 with the addition of "witnout discrimination". This goal wouZd t�/ read "Provide for and ma_ntain, without discrimination, a diversity of suitable housing and living envizonments within the cormnunity". Go�+/lsp,✓Gr��- Mr. Langenfeld asked if this would 6e the primary housing goal. Mr. Scott said they might come up witli another goal statement later on. UPON A VOSCS VOTE, aZl votinq aye, the mocion carried unanimousZy. Cha�rma� Harris asked if they wanted to discuss objectives under this goal. Mr. Scott said he would like to see something included about the neighborhood concept idea and about housing maintenance. Ne would also like to see something about the promotion of underground utilities due to inclement weather conditions. Mr. Langenfeld seid that this Comprehensive Housing Plan mentions what has happened in Minneapolis and Columbia Heights and he would like to see something in the goals which would prevent that happening in Fridley. Mr. Peterson said he itiould like to see all six goals adopted because they all relate to housing. He said that if +.hey could reach all these goals, this would alleviate the preblem that i�r. Langenfeld referred to. Mr. Langenfeld said he thought these problems should be mentioried as the reason we are having these � partictilar goals and o6jectives. Mr. Bergman said he thougt��t what hir. Langenfeld would like would be a surrcnary of trends ar prob1ems +�;=iich r�Q are �oncerned about, which would be inserted just before the goals and objectives. , �� Plannin4 Commission Meeting - January 7, 1976 Page 8 Mr. Peterson said he thought the goal was still primary, and this statement could be put in before the objectives. Mr. Bergman felt that the objectives were not identifications of problems. ' Mr. Boardman saTd the goal should be the primary statement. Our objectives shnuld state where we want to go. We have to provide housing at costs which do rrot compromise.other essentiai wants or needs. We've got to take a look at low and moderate income housing. He have to look at quality living environment. Now do you achieve this? The P7anning Comnission would also have to look ai preservation and the updating of existing neigfiborhoods. Mr. Peterson said that when you talk about iow and moderate income housing, then you have to also talk a�bout distribution. Mr. Harris said he liked the first objectives under Goal #2 which says they should provide a wide range of adequate housirg opportunities for people of all income levels, age groups, and ethnic backgrounds, Mr. Drigans said that when you talk ..bout the distribution of low and moderate income housing, the first thing that people think about is sub-standard housing. Maybe we should add quality built low and moderate income housing. Mr. Bergman said that if the Planning Commission was qoinq tn address this poSnt, it !,�ould be hard to state it so that no one would take exception to it. Mr. Boardman said Fridley was developed so far already, we can't talk about distri6ution of low and moderate income housing units, we have to be talking about the dist�°ibution of peopTe. Mr. Bergman said they were missing one of the points in distribution and that was to avoid the occurance of a ghetto, and that is housing. Mr. Langen- feld said it could state somewhere that these goals and objectives were peopl oriented. Mr. Scott said maybe we should come rignt out and say ghetto, if t� was what the low and moderate income statement was about. Mr. Peterson said that "people" could probably be worked into our goal rather than just in some of the ohjectives. Mr. Bergman said that Goal #2 could read "Provide for and maintain, withoat discrimination, a su�table housing and living environment for all people within the community.° hir. Boardman said that saying "within our commun�ty" seemed restricting, because these housirg goals shouid appiy tc anyone wanting to move into Fridley, and did not follow the metropolitan concept idea. Amended MOTION by Scott, seconded by Bergman, that�Goal k2.reaH "Provide for and maintain in the cormnunity, wi.thout discrimination, a diversity of suitabZe housing and 2iving environments for a11 persons". Upon a voice vote;on the amended motion, a3I voting aye, t�e motion carried unanimously. Mr. Boardman said he liked the goal as changed by Mr. Scvtt. He said we were talking about household� not just housing. Mr. Drigans said tihere was one area in the objectives that hasn`t been discussed, and that was to encourage the dEVeloornent of ad�anced technology in our building industry for the purpose of conserving resourees and energ,�. He also felt that the first objective under Goai #2 was not redundant with the change in the goal itself. Mr. Boardman said this could be replaced with the statement to provide housing at costs which do not compromise other essential� wants or needs. _ �` M I:,„ I � � � Planning Commission Meetin9 January 7 1976 Pa e 9 MOTION by Drigans to de2ete the first objective under Goa2 NZ because it was redundant. Chairman Harris asked if he would withdraw his motion and let the staff work on these objectives because if was no w 11:05 P.M. and they had a previous motion that the discussion only be continued until 11:00 P.M. , Mr: Drigans WITHUREW his motion. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Langenfeld, that the meeting be adjour.ned.

He stated this next request would still follow the regular procedure of going to the City Council through the Planning Commission, and the applicant has been informed of this. 1.

MOTION by Ga?:el, seconded by t4ahlberg, to open the public hearing. Upon a • voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried. � Mr. David Rotter, Vice President of P.ottlund Company, was present to present the request. A verifyinq survey of the fou.ndation was shown to �he Board. I+[r. Rotter explained the reason they need the variance is simply because they made a mistake which was discovered when the verifying survey was made. He stated that on this lot, they had run intA bad soil that had to be excavated out and pushed off to the side. He said the bad soil is usually piled and then used to backfill around the foundation. He explained that because of the piled dirt, the concrete men took the neasurement for the placem2nt of the house off from the west property line which ended uy with the garage 1 foot too close to the east property line and also the structure was cocked on the lot. Mrs. Wahlbexg asked what the side yard r�easurement was on the west side and Mr. Rotter said that from the fzont of the structure it was 12.75 feet and 12.52 feet on the back. Chairman Drigans asked if the soil ccnditions in tliis area wi11 warrant a lot of excavating and filling. bL. Rotter sai3 in this particular area it is hard to tell until you start digging. He added that on this lot they ran inYo peat and organic material and they had to excavate out approximately 14 £eet deep and 90 feet wide. Mr. Mattson stated that under t.hese circurmstances, the staff felt it was quite feasible that a mistake of a foot could be made. �� .. .-rs�+!}...a . The Minutes of the Appeals Commission Subcommittee Meeting of January 13, 1976 �� Chairman Drigans asked if there isn't some way that the City can control this type of problem occurring as this has happened twice in the last month. Mr. Mattson said if the variance was of a greater magnitude the Board could have the contractor move the structure to be in compliance with the Code. � Mr. Tom Turgeon, 1650 Camelot Lane, stated he lives across the street from this house, and he was worried that the houses would be getting too close together which would block his view of the lake. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if the Iot to the east is built on and D�. Rotter said it was vacant. Mr. Turgeon said the way the lot line is staked out, it looks to him like the qarage is right on the line. He said if the lot to the east was built on with the garage next to this lot line, the structures would only be 9 feet apart. Mrs. . Wahlberg stated that for fire purposes, the City does not allow structures to be built too close together, Mrs. Gabel added that if the property owner of the lot to the east wanted to build closer to the lot line than the Code required, he would have to ask for a variance and the surrounding property owners would be notified. MOTION by Wahlrerg, seconded hy Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote„ there being no nays, the motion carried. Chairman Origans said the hardship is that the foundation is in, but he added this is only a minor variance and the Board has approved other variances of this type. He added that what concerns him is that this is happening in this area. He felt the adr,iinistration should watch this area and to stress the impOrtance of correct measurements. Mrs. Wahlberg said she £elt that the administration should check the staking for the footings, as if this is correct, everything else wi11 fall into place. � Mr. Mattson said it is up to the contractor to check the measurements to make sure they meet the Code. He added that certain contractors are watched closer than others but he added that the Rottlund Company has not had this happen before. Mr. Molden stated that a house can be staked out 3 different times on a lot wher.e soil conditions are found to be bad, and it would be almost impossible for the staff to go out everytime to check this plus going back for the footing inspection. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to recommend approval of the variance _ for a side yard setback from 5 feet to 4 feet, to allow the construction of a house and garage. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. 2. DISCUSSION ON ORDINANCE #606 Chairman Drigans asked if the Council had chanqed anything concerning the Appeals Commission procedure oth,�r than action on R-1 variances. Mr. Mattson said they had not changed anything, they just added paragraph 2 under section 6.147 for. clarification. rirs. 69ahlberg asked what was meant by subparaqraph A under this paragraph which read "A. The public policy which is served by the requirement." Mr. Mattson said this is what the staff would work out. He said it voulr3 be an explanation of the requirement ot the Code and why the City is zequiring it, for example the 35 foot setback and why the City requires 35 feet instead of allowing the houses to be staggered. He said in cases where it can be specifically defined, the staf£ will deal wiY.h it as best as they can. � Chairman Drigans stated the Council added t.iiis section to the ordinance but they never sent tlzis addition bac1: to the Commission to explain their intent beFore they approved the ordinance. Iie added that he felt this subparaqraph is asking; � �age .3 �`Z The Minutes of the Appeals Commission Subcommittee Meeting of January 13, 1476 �� ' �. why is the Code correct? Mrs. Wahlberg said maybe it means they want the Code defined as it pertains to each instance. tMrs. Wahlberg asked if under section 6.198 "ACtion of the Council", if that refers to anytime other than when there is a unanimous action by the Board. Chaizman Driqans said Council action is only required on vaziances in zonings other U�an R-1 or if there is a decision that is not unanimous. Mrs. {+lahlb'erg questioned i£ it would be considered an objection from a neighbor, if he simply did not like the variance, but did not have any valid reasons for disliking it. Mrs. Gabel said i❑ that instance the Board would have to ask him if he wanted to go on record as objecting to it, and if he did, then the variance would have to go on to the Council. , 3. REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED HDUSING PLI�N: Chairman Drigans said the Planning Commission has asked that its subcommittees review the proposed housing plan and submit their comments and recommendations back to them. Mr. Mattson said if the Board had any questions on the housing plan they would just have to put them in the minutes as he didn't feel he cnew enough about the plan to answer them. Mrs. Wahlberg questioned, on page one, wheze it says, "A population growth rate of about 1,200 persons per year was anticipated in 1975. This did not materialize due to several factors; 1- some major land use changes that were expected have not come about." She asked what these changes were and will they still come about? � Chairman Drigans questioned, on page two, where it says,"---the proportion of residents 65 years old or uiore has remained relatively constant -. This fact runs contrary to expected changes in the population. It may be due to several factors: a lack of convenient low-cost housing for the elderly in Fridley; readily available medical and outpatient facilities; and convenient transportation." He said this is a very speculative statement as he felt the outpatient facilities at Unity was increasing with their new addition. Mrs. Wahlberg said maybe the statement meant specialized care for senior citizens was decreasing and she added that in the Metro area they do have specialized care centers that are generally located for the elderly. Chairman Drigans questioned, on page three, where it says, "ASSUming a 7� increase per year over 1970 income levels --." He asked where the labor statistic of. 78 was gotten fzom_ Mr. Mattson said by the footnote, this increase is suggested by the Metropolitan Council's staff. Mrs. Wahlberg stated the Metro Council could have access to the wage incseases from the federal level on down from 1970 and they can look at the cost of living and wage inereases and come up with an overall increase• Mr. Mattson said it would probably be an educated guess. Chairman Drigans noted that on page three it also points out that 250 households have incomes below the federally defined poverty levels with only 13 of these households in 1970 receiving some form of public assistance_ Mrs. Gabel asked why the City doesn't inform them about programs to get help £rom. Mrs. t^7ahlberg said it also states that maybe they need to be better informed. She said maybe they are informed but just don't want help. She said she didn't know if it � would be the City's resyonsibility to go to each house and tell them or not. Mrs. Gabel asked who is responsible then, the City can't ignore them, they do exist. Mrs. Wahlberg said she felt it would be the County's responsibil.ity as � tliat: is where they would get the help irom. Mr. Mattson said one of t1�ie reasons for the xeorganization and renacnir.g of the commissions was to get more citizens Page 4 _ A� The Minutes of the Appeals Cocmnission Subcommittez Meeting of January 13, 1976 .f� informed of and involved with the problems in the City. Chairman Drigans stated that as he reads the housing plan, he.has to go halE way througn it before there is any mention o£ housing. He said the population • " is supplementary material to the plan but the infosmation on housing should be in the front, Mra. Wahl.berg said, on page four, it states, "HOUSing is the largest single use of land in Frid.ley wit}r 9,418 d�oelling units. Approximately 34� of the City's total land area is devoted to residential land uses wi*_h over 850 of this area nvw Eully developed." She questior.ed what the total residential land use was in the City. She said R-1 zoning �ersus other zonings must be more than 34�. She also questioned how Fridley,�as a City, has kept in line with other cities as far as what percent of land is used for residential and what percent is used for commercial & industrial. Mrs. Gabel questioned if the 34� figure stated for residential land includes the land zoned commercial but used as residential. Chairman Drigans stated the Planning Commission is sti]l reviewing this plan but they started out with reviewiny the Housing Goals and Objectives starting on paye 13. He said the Planning Commission felt the Goals and Objectives shoulcl precede the whole plan, and he added a].ot of the goals will be condensed. Mrs. Wahlberg said she found it interesti.ng that the Metro Council would place Fridley in a first priority area where 35� or iess of the land is undeveloped wher. in effect they are saying this land has to be rezoned for low-cost housing. She also noted that or. page 8 two figures are mi=sinq. Chairman Drigans asyed � if the Metro Council is sa.yinq that because this Iand is undeveloped, that that is where you have to put the lew-rost hous�_nq. N,rs. Wahlberg said it was a strange statement to make because they don't take into consideration whether the community has any low-cost housing or not. She said the two don't correlate. Chairman Driqans asked how this plan was d�veloped. Mr. Mattson said the City has 4 or 5 planni.ng interns �hat have worked on it. Chairman Drigans asked if they are sitting down and writing iL- all or are they taking aIl the information from documents. Mr. Mattson said there has been a lot of reference material used. Mrs. Gabel said it �eems like the explanations have been left out for the stateMents that have been made. Chairman Drigans said he felt in 6 months this wi_11 be an o+�tdated housing pl.an because of all the statistics interwoven into this report. tie said �tatistics are nice if kept by themselves to be ,referred to but they do not make a warkable housinq plan. Mrs. Wahlberg questioned how a street improvemenC project can create a whcie new attitude in a neighborhood tl�at is sliding downhill. Mrs. Gabel saic3 she doesn't feel that it would help the attitude in an older neiqliborhood and stated for an example the Hyde Park area �ahere there are hoeses but the land is zoned commercial.. She said th.e peop�.e do not know what is qoing to hap�en to the neighborhood and they don't want to invest their money in something they are noL sure of. � Mr. Holden stated he has personal.ly seen wnere property owners have upgraded � their property after a new street has heen nut in. Ae added thouah that in the Hyde Park area there are a number. of absentee landlords ar.d it is post war: construction and tt�ere is also a 2arge co��centsation of children whi.ch miyht � _ . _ — Page 5 The Minutes of the Appeals Coimnission Subconmittee Meeting of January 13, 1976 �� all contribute to the unkept appearance of the neighborhood. . � Mrs. Wahlberg said she couldn't see any concrete suggestions in this plan besides building 200 - 300 subsidized housing units. She said there are no suggestions �' about how we do it or where we do it, and then the question arises about should we do it and in what manner. Mrs. Gabel questioned whether the City is cheating our elderly as badly as this plan suggests. Mrs. Wahlberg said she has long thought that the City should have a plan for senior citizen housing. She said she feels there is a real need for it and she would rather see the City address itself to that problem first. ters. Gabel said if the figures are correct in the plan, it shows that the senior citizens should be thought of first. Mrs. Gabel asked if the Board can continue this housing plan or does a recommendation have to be made at this meeting. Chairman Drigans said there has been some pressuxe to get the comments back to the Planning Commission because of the time schedule for applying for funding. He added that he fPlt the plan needs more work on where we qo and also it needs priorities like the elderly versus low income housing. Mrs. Wahlberg said the Board can't neglect the idea that some parts of the City are deteriorating and we need some kind of plan developed to aid those people if they want it. She said we can't put all the emphasis on one area and forget the others. Chairman Drigans stated the Board can review this plan further and if there are additional questions or comments to make, they can be discussed at the next � meeting.

AL OF MSNUTES OF DECEMBER 18,.1975 MOTION by Bruce Peterson, seconded by Mike Paripovich, to approve the minutes of the December 18, 1975 Environmental Commission meeting as written. Upon a voice vote, all voting a�e, the motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ON COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING PLAN: Mr. Boardman explained that Goal #2 on page 13 of the report will be the initial housing goal: Provide for and mair.tain in tne community without discrimination a diversity of suitable housing and living environments for all persons. Mr. Paripovich stated he did not want this plan to -result in providing a means of a drain to move low income people into Fridley. He added this would result in a higher incidence of crim�_nal activity. : Mr. Boardman stated he was not talking about low-grade housing, but programs that will finance low income people to have better housin�. Mr. Paripovich felt that was fine if the program �•ras designed to help the people of Fridley. Mr. Langenfeld stated Fridley residents have higher standards of living than•many of the surrounding metropolitan areas. This would give the people in those other areas the opportunity to move into Fridley. ! c � �� . . . - .. �- ` ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETIN6 PAGE 2 Mr. Boardman stated one has to consider Fridley as a part of the metropolitan area has a responsibility toward these people. ' Housing opportunities for people should be provided whether inside or outside of the community. If a person wants to live out his entire life in Fridley�we should at least provide that opportunity. Mr.= Paripovich stated this program will effect the total environ- mental situation of �ridley. He added many,of these people moving >3nto Fridley may not be accustomed to maintaining a good life style. This pxogram should be shaped in such a way to maintain a`quality of life.in E'ridley. Mr.+Boardman explained the community has several areas that are starting to decline. He added, if this continues, we may hav� an uncontrolled situation in which many low inco,me persons are moving in. -He stated it would be easier to set up a preservation program now,to upgrade these areas. Mr. Paripovich stated he would like to challenge Mr. Boardman as to how this would upgrade the City of Fridley. Mr.' Boardman stated �:t would upgrade the city by providing federal �udning for some persons at low interest rates to remodel their liomes. tie added the Metropolitan Council's number one issue is liousi7ig� and tI1ey contxol a17. federal funding. By upgrading our ne�'gIl�orttoodg and tilen prav�`ding government subsidy, we are accom- Ql•�;S1u:ng th�o thsngs; Cl� 1rTe axe improving the quality of our I�ous�ng stock, and (2) providing for the City's low and moderate income persons. Mr. Paripovich asked Mr. Boardman if he was saying Fridley is being offered funds if they will go along with Section 8 and take the strain off the inner city. Mr. Boardman stated we have to provide a diversity of housing in our community. The best way to do that is through federal programs with subsidies. Mr. Sullivan asked whether £ridley could control where each of these families would reside. Mr:. Boardman stated the City would - have the authority to instruct these people which houses are available. Mr. Paripovich stated he had nothing against putting forms of aid into effect to enable widows,and elderly persons to_remain and keep up their homes. He added he was opposed to letting people mave from the inner city into Fridley. He stated'it would encourage deterioration. Mr. Peterson stated he agreed with Mr. Paripovich. Fridley residents must be thought of first. � �. ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING PAGE 3 n2 / �i Mr. Boardman stated the only way to upgrade the community would be through subsidized federal programs. He added Section 8 is mainly a rental program. Mr. Boardman explained the City of Fridley cannot obtain present funds because they haven't taken any action on the housing problem in the metropolitan area. He added he realized Mr. Paripovich's concern, but he felt that it would be balanced with an enforced maintenance code. Mr. Paripovich stated it was his feeling that Section 8 funding should not be passed unless it is accompanied by the maintenance plan. Mr. Sullivan stated he felt a certain responsibility toward those other people in the 1Ketropolitan area. He added, in terms of the environment, Fridley is not isolated from them as it is. �Mr. Boardman stated the City is trying to accomplish a preservation of the neighborhoods so that Fridley wil.l be a quality place to live. MOTION by Mike Paripovich, that Section 8 app t e people who are mov�ng out os the ��inner c aonear that fundinF will tend to im�rove the now in existence ection a provlsion unless a commit t a strong ma�ntenance code before ars to accommodate ty" It does not ondition of structures eterioraTion or lan should not include s made to pu� into n 8 funds apply to Seconded for discussion by Brother Sullivan. Mr. Paripovich stated the inner city is probably where the crime, drugs, etc. will stem from. Brother Sullivan explained he could not stereotype the "inner city" people.

F.Y.S.A. Action Group` u �� ( seconded by Seeger, to accept the minutes of November 24, 1975. �� Mr. Frank Nart, President-Elect of the F.Y.f.A. introduced himself and Messrs. Tom Nehring, President-Elect of the F.Y.S.A. and Ed Dupay, outgoing President of the F.Y.F.A. He stated he was at the meetii�g to discuss the football field at the Commons. Mr. Nehring read a letter to the Commission from the F.Y.S_A. which explained their plans,regarding resodding the field. It stated tfiat the Association agreed to pur- chase the sod and provide the labor to lay the sod *_he full width of the field within the 30 yard line. To justify such an expenditure by tt�e Association, they felt the City should have the field surveyed and crotianed with the proper amount of black dirt to an acceptable level to assure prop�r drainage. He said it was their feeling that if the field was properly crowned an�i maintained in the spring of the year, excessive deterioration to the middle part of the field would cease to be a problem. He also said they r�ould like some consideration be yiven tu ?he player bench area to accommo- date the increase in water on the field due to the improved drainage. Mr. Peterson gave Mr. Hart a copy of the survey of the Commons field conducted by the City Fngineers sho;aing the cross section elevations. There was some discussion as to whether or not the field is crewned properly and drains correctly.. Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Erosr,� if he had any informatior on the various recommended elevations for fnoLbail fields. Mr. Brown replied that �•re did not have any such information in our . H � 'i ii�le to build the field differently or it would iles e conanent,.d that it was znposs �ve been done in the first place. Ne saiJ this was due to the High School having , "Eheir property east of ours. He mentioned that it would be impossible to make a severe crowning of the f�ield without reinstalling the irrigation pipe, resetting f7eads. etc. �� Page 2 �-/F MINUTES O� THE REGULAR PARKS AN� R_�nEATION COMM;SSIQN MEETING DECEM(3ER 22, 1975 � Mr. Brown said he questioned rrhether or net we could crown the field to the standard football field speci?ications, but they can certainly get the low points out of it, raise some of the ir-rigation heads, etc. Ne said he would take the recorronen- dations of the Foot6a11 Association, turn it over to his people and see what they can do to come up with a subsequent c�rak�ing for the Commission's approval. Mr: Harris asked how much black dirt would be necessary for the field; the F.Y.F./t. was uncertain as to the exact amount. 4ie said he would be willing to donate 500 to 600 yards of bldck dirt_if someone else would come and haul it. Mr. Brown assured the Comnissior that the Department and the F.Y.S.A. will work together toward getting the field in better condition. Mr. Harris suggested checking with the University re9arding the irrigation pro- blem for the football field. After r�uch discussion the Commissioners asked the Park Director and F.Y.S.A. to come back to the February meeting with a mutually . aceeptable proposal for the field. RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP The group was back to again request a warming }:ouse be put at Springbrook Park. Mr. Brown explained there were two•alternatives: 1) a permanent shelter and 2) a mobile unit. He mentioned that there were three of the mobile units now in �xistance in the City. He said that the cost involved was of course appreciably ifferent. He thought perhaps something could be ouilt along the idea of a single car garage. He also mentioned that if a shelter was built, it would have to go one of two places, either along the east boundary in the middle of the park, or along the south boundary, due to the apparatus in the park, etc. Mr. Mariotti explained that the group has had several meetings discussing the type of warming house they wouTd like to see at the park. He stated they did not want a"tacky" warming house; they wanted one wfiich was attractive. Mr. Narris suggested duilding something similar to a single car garage with a small door instead of a regular garage door. Mrs. Seeger su9gested considering a warming house built into the side of the hill with three sides below ground and one side exposed. Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Brown if there vras any type of building at all available for this season, for the children to use. Mr. Brown explained that there was not, however perhaps they could check into the possibility of borrowing a construcLion shack for the season. He stated, however, that if they did, they would have to come up with several, as their first obligation was to Rice Creek School, as they are behind on their schedule for improving that area. Mr. Harris reminded Mr. Brown of the problem they had last year trying to get a construction shack, due to the liability ; factor. Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Srown to check with tdr. Brunsell, City Finance Director, as far as liability. He said that he in turn would check with some people . he knew. He explained to the Rivervriew people that the Comnission would 19ke to have something in the way of a warming house for thc park this year, however, bud�ets �re made in July and August and their money for 1976 was already cormnitted for the year. Mr. Moore asked Mr. Brown to make the ice rink at the park larger and flood it more often. Mr. Brown stated he would take care of it. Page 3h� � PARKS AND RECREATTON COMMISSI4N MEETING �, After a lengthy discussion on the possibility of a warming house for the park ' Mr. Harris said he would 9et on the phone and see if he could find anyone who would donate a construction shack to use this winter; then turn it over to Paul to figure out the liability angle. Mr. Peterson asked Mrs. Seeger to check into the warming house she was thinking of, Mr. Harris to check into the corstruction shack and he himself would check into the one he was thinking of, and maybe between the three of them, they could come up with something to turn over to Paul. Mr. Peterson explained that it was not feasible at this time to expect the Comnission to be able to pui a permaneni warming house in the 1976 budget. The money simply was not there. He said that the request for the warming house will be put down for consideration for the 1977 budget, as are all requests. Mrs. Seeger told the Action Group that the Corronission needs to know what type of warming house they want, what price range they are thinking of, what ideas they have as far as looks, etc., before the Corrunission �an decide what to put up. Mr. Harris explained to the Action Group that as far as a permanent structures go, the warming house will probably be placed in the same priorities they've been placing buildings in the last four or five budgets that he has been involved with. He explained the priorities the Parks Uepartment is already committed to, for instance Madsen Park, for which we paid the assessments to have water and power brought in, and we don't even have a building there yet. He mentioned that part of the priorities are based on how many children use a park for skating, the number of hours of skating and hackey take place at a�iven park, etc. Ne also said that, #unfortunately, every time they put a warming house in the budget, the Council cuts it out. Therefore, the Action Group should go to their councilman, their councilman- at-large, and the mayor for help, and explain the extenuating circumstances why they feel they should have a warming house at their park. This is where the selling must be done. BANDSTAND Mr. Henry Peterson was present to request site approval frem Yhe Cormnission for construction of a bandstand in Fridley. If the Commissio� will approve the site, then Mr. Peterson stated he would go out and try to raise the money to build it. He.said he had plans fior a bandstand from one of his friends who was superintendent of the Columbia Heights Park Board. He ecplained that Columbia Heights has a new bandstand. Mr, Peterson told the Conmiission he had already appeared before the Council as an individual asking them to pass this request over to the Bicentennial 49'er Committee of Fridley, to which he belongs. Mr. Peterson explained the advantages of a bandstand and how much people wouid enjoy it. He told the Co�unissioners the site he had selected was the south end of Moore Lake, south of the flagpole. He said he had chosen this spot because of the traffic on Highway #65. He felt this would draw people. He said he was going to . take this project back to the 49'ers at their January 7th meeting, to ask for help in raising the money. � Mr. Olson stated he would also like to see a bandstand and he was there in I �support of Mr. Peterson's request. Meredith Schurr and and Mary Martin were also there to lend Mr. Peterson support. They all concurred-with the necessity of a I permanent bandstand to the people to enjoy. i � . �� , Page 4 a / fi MINUTES OF TNE REGULAR PARKS.AND RECRE�lTI�P! COMMISSION MEETIN6 OECEM6ER 22, 1975 Mr. Petersort stated he had come to the meeting simply ta ask for approval for site �'tocation and to put it in the 1977 budget, if they are unable to raise the complete amount needed to build the bandstand. He expiained the City would have contro] of it. The Commissioners questioned the advisabiiit,y of building the bandstand so close to traffic on ,highway #65. They felt it would be too noisy due to the traffic. The suggestion was made to perhaps build it near the other end of the lake beyond the beach area, however there is a ba11 diamond and tennis courts there. They also sug- gested the possibility of West Moore Lake near �he Dunes area. Mrs. Seeger expressed concern that the Theatre and Fine Arts grouj�s get to use the bandstand when it is built and that they could not use it properly if it were in a noisy area. MOTION BY HARRIS, seconded by Caldwell, that Y.tte Parks and Recreation Commission go on record in supporting the construction of a bandstand Por the City of Fridley, at a mutuaZly agreeabZe location with the City Band and its o:ficia2s, Parks and Recreation City staff, and the Committee who will vndertake the project to construct the building. Mrs. Caldwell seconded the r�tion w-ith the stipu�ation that the theatre and fine arts groap have some input. The motion carried. Mr. Brown stated he would like to pGblic7y thank Mr. Olson and the Civic Band for the fine jo6 they have done in the past. He said the Department wanted to thank them. Mr. Peterson suggested Mr. 6rown put fiis thanks in the form of a letter to Mary Martin, Aresident of the Band, on behalf of the Department and tne Commission. � Mr. Brown sugyested the idea of the band playing sor�etime in the winter at either City Hall or in the Library. He said they t+iight approach the City Council on that idea. Mr. PeY.erson suggested Mr. Olson get together witfi Mr. arown and try to request it through the City Manager, rather than trying to get on the agenda for a Council meetirg. NAME 7HE PARKS Mrs. Seeger read a letter te th2 Cemmission from Lillian Meyer of the League of Women Voters listing suggestions from them for the names of the parks. MOTION BY HARRIS, seconded by Ca1d:�e2l, to receive ttie ietter. The rration carried. Mr. Harris commented that this item has been on the agend� from month to month waitin9 for discuss:on when all the members could be present, and it has been difficult for them to all make it on the same night. Ne said that since our country is entering into it's Bicentennia7 year we should consider• u5ing some of the many excellent names which could come from this celebration of our h�story. He said.he had gotten Chis feeling from many people who felt the sa�ne way. He fel� this would be much more appropriate than some of Che suggestions, i.e., Salamander, Mud Puppy, etc. Ne said th�t he wouid come back to our r�ext n�eeting with some suggestions for names. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Mr. Brown had given the commissioners a letter referring to a job offer he has . had from the A.S.A. in Oklihoma City. He exp�ained what the position entailed and his possible acceptance, which will be based on the terms of the offer. �' MOTION BY HARRIS, seconded by CaldwelI to receive the Ietter. The motion carried.

He said he agrced with their thou9hts that the F.Y.S.A.'s letter was a littic out of line. He sug9es*ed t.hey put this ite�� on their agenda for the February meeting e+id he would contact the F.Y.S.A. to come to the Cornmission to discuss the girls softball pro9ram. He said that evzn though in the F.Y.S.A.'s letter they say they will make any final decisions, they can onl,y snake final decisions on those areas under their jurisdiction, but the overall agreer.�eot 9ives the Conanission final deci- sions regarding the program. He explained that the agreement is probably not hauled out and read every year, therefore, some of the pnl;cies have been forgotten. WARMING HOUSE ATTENDANTS Mr. Peterson expressed some concern as to whether or not warming house attendants have copies of the warmin9 house duties which they must abide by. Ne said he and others have seen the kids sitting around studyin9 when they should have been watch- � ing the children. Mr. 6rown answered that the kids do have rules to follow. Mr. Brown explained Chat we do have daily attendanc� fi9ures for the rinks whicli show the usage of the rinks. Mr. Peterson Guestioned whether or not the kids were required to attend an orientation meeting, to tihich Mr. 6rown replied that they were. Mr. Peterson asked the secretary to send out to the Commissioners a copy of the rink rules which are in the Attendants' books, �OTION BY 5EEGER, seconded by Caldwe:l to receive the 2etter from the Sprinybrook. ature regarding the naming of Nortt� Park.

CLe minutes of November 24, 1975. Motion carried. F.Y.S.A. Mr. Frank Hart, President-Elect of the F.Y.F.A. introduced himself and Messrs. � Tom Nehring, President-Elect of the F.Y.S.A. and Ed Dupay, outgoing President of the f.Y:F.A. He stated he was at the meeting to discuss the football field at tne Commons. � Mr. Nehrin read a letter to the Co�nissien from the F.Y.S.A. which explained their 9 plans regarding resodding the field. It stated that the Association agreed to pur- , chase the sod and provide the labor to lay the sod the full width of the field within the 30 yard line. To justify such an expenditure by the Association, they felt the , City should have the field surveyed and crowned �iith the proper amount of black dirt to an acceptable level to assure proper drainage. He said it was their feeling that ' if the field was properly crowned and ma�ntained in the sprin9 of ±he year,' excessive deterioration to the middle part of the field wauTd cease to be a problem. He also ' said they would,like some consideration be given to the player bench area to accommo- date the increase in water on the field due to the improved drainage.. - Mr. Peterson gave Mr. Nart a copy of the survey of the Correnons field conducted by the City Engineers showing the cross �ection elevations. There was some discussion as to whether or not the field is crowned properly and drains correctly.. Mr. Peterson asked Mr. t3rown if he had any information on the v�rious reconunended elevations for footbaTl fields. Mr. Brown replied th�t s•re did not have any such infnrmation in our files. He conmented that it was impossib',e to buiid the field differently or it would have been done in the first place. He said this was due to the High Schnol having . their_property east of ours. He mentioned that it Evould be impossible to make a severe crowning of the field without rei;+stallin� the irrigation pipe, resetting heads. etc. : - - Paye 2 02/ �" MINUTES Of THE REGULAR PARKS AND P,ECREATION COMMISSION �iEETING 6ECEMBER 22, t975 Mr. 8rown said he questioned whether or not we could crown the field to the standard football field specifications, but.they can cartainly get the low points out of it, raise some of the irrigation heads, etc. tie sa�d he would take the recommen- dations of the Football Associatian, turn it over ±o his people and see what they can do to come up with a subsequent drawing for the Comnission's approval. Mr. Harris asked how much blzck dirt would be necessary for the field; the F.Y.F.k. was uncertain as to the exact amount. He said he would be willing to donate 500 to 600 yards of black dirt.if someone else would come and haul it. Mr. 8rown assured the Commission that the Department and the F.Y.S.A. will work together toward getting the field in better condition. Mr. Harris suggested checking with the University regardin9 the irrigation pro- blem for the football field. After much discussion the Commissioners asked the Park Director and F.Y.S.A. to come back to the February meeting with a mutually acceptable proposal for the field. RIVERViEW HEIGHTS COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP The group was back to again request a warming house be put at Springbrook Park. Mr. Brown explained there were two•alternativas: 1) a permanent shelter and 2) a mobile unit. He mentioned that there were three of the mobi7e units now in existance in the City. He said that the cost involved was of course appreciably different. He thought perhaps something could be built along the idea of a single car garage. He also mentioned that if a shelter was built, it would have to go one of two places, either along the east boundary in the middle of the park, or along the south boundary, due to the apparatus in the park, etc. Mr. Mariotti explained that the group has had several meetings discussing the type of warming house they would like to see at the park. He stated they did not want a"tacky" warming house; they wanted one which was attractive. Mr. Harris suggested building something similar to a single car garage with a small door instead of a regular garaye door. Mrs. Seeger suggested cansidering a warmin9 house built into the side of the hill witF� three sides below ground and one side exposed. Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Brown if there was any type of building at all available for this season, for the children to use. Mr. Brown explained that there was not, however perhaps they could check into the possibility of borrowing a.construction shack for the season. He stated, however, that if they did, they would have to come up with several, as their first obligation was to Rice Creek School, as they are behind on their schedule for imQroving that area. Mr. Harris reminded Mr. Brown of the problem they had last year trying to get a construction shack, due to the liabi}ity factor. Mr. Peterson asked Mr, Brown *o check with Mr. Brunsel7, City finance Director, as far as liability. He said that he in turn would check with some people . he knew. He explained to the Riverview people that the Commission would like to have something in the way of a warming house for the park this year, however, budgets are made in July and August and their money for i976 was already committed for the year. Mr. Moore asked Mr. Brown to make the ice rink at the park larger and flood it more often. Mr. Brown stated he would take care of it. �._.. a,G Page 3 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING DECEMBER 22, 1975 After a lengthy discussion on the possibility of a warming house for the park Mr. Harris said he would get on the phone and see if he could find anyone who would donate a construction shack to use this winter; then turn it over to Paul to figure out the liability angle. Mr. Peterson asked Mrs. Seeger to check into the warming house she was thinking of, Mr. Harris to check into the construction shack and he himself would check into the one he was thinking of, and maybe between the three of them, they could come up with something to turn over to Paul. Mr. Peterson explained that it was not feasible at this time to expect the Comnission to be able to put a permanent warming house in the 1976 budget. The money simply was not there. He said that the request for the warming house will be put down for consideration for the 1977 budget, as are all requests. Mrs. Seeger told the Action Group that the Comnission needs to know what type of warming house they want, what price range they are thinking of, what ideas they have as far as looks, etc., before the Commission can decide what to put up. Mr. Harris explained to the Action Group that as far as a permanent structures go, the warming house will probably be placed in the same priorities they've been placing buildings in the last four or five budgets that he has been involved with. He explained the priorities the Parks Department is already committed to, for instance Madsen Park, for which we paid the assessments to have water and potiaer brought in, and we don't even have a building there yet. He mentioned that part of the priorities are based on how many children use a park for skating, the number of hours of skating and hockey take p?ace at a given park, etc. He also said that, unfortunately, every time they put a warming h�use in the budget, the Council cuts it out. Therefore, the Action Group should go to their councilman, their councilman- at-large, and the maynr for help, a�d explain the extenuati�g circumstances why they feei they should have a warming house at their park. This is where the selling must be done. BANDSTAND Mr. Henry Peterson was present to request site approval from the Commission for construction of a bandstand in Fridley. If the Coimnission will approve the site, then : Mr. Peterson stated he would go out and try to raise the money to build it, He said he had plans for a bandstand from one of his friends who was superintendent of the Columbia Heights Park Board. He ecplained that Columbia Heights has a new bandstand. Mr, Peterson told the Cortonission he had already appeared 6efore the Council as an individual asking them to pass this.request over to the Bicentennial 49'er Committee of Fridley, to which he belongs. Mr. Peterson explained the advantages of a bandstand and how much people would� enjoy it. He told the CorrQnissioners the site he had selected was the south end of Moore Lake, south of the flagpole. He said he had chosen this spot because of the traffic on Highway #65. He felt this would draw people. He said he was going to take this project back to the 49'ers at their January 7th meeting, to ask for help in raising the money. Mr. Olson stated he would also like to see a bandstand and he was there in support of Mr. Peterson's request. Meredith Schurr and and Mary Martin were also there to lend Mr. Peterson support. They all concurred with the necessity of a permanent bandstand to the people to enjoy. � �, ;M.:, w P9e4 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR PARKS AND RECREATION COM��tISSIQN MEETING DECEMBER 22, 1975 Mr. Peterson stated he haQ co^�e �o the meeting simply io ask far approval for site location and to put it in the 197i budget, if they are unab1e to raise the complete_ amount needed to build the bardstand. He exGlained the City would have control of it. The Conanissioners questioned the advisability of building the bandstand so close to traffic on highway #65. They felt it would be too noisy due to the traffic. The suggestion was made to perhaps build it near the cther end of the lake beyond the beach area, however there is a ba17 diamond and tennis courts there. They also sug- gested the possibility of West Moore Lake near the Dunes area. Mrs. Seeger expressed concer� that the Theatre and Fine Arts groups get to use the bandstand when it is built and that they cnuld not use it properly if it were in a noisy area. MOTION BY HARRIS, seconded by Caldwe2l, that tlze Parks and Recreation Commission go on record in supporting the construction of a bar.dstand for the City of Fridley, at a mutual.2y agreeable location with the City Band and its officials, Yarks and Recreation City staff, and the Cormn.ittee who wi12 undestake the project to constructthe bui2ding. Mrs. Caldwell seconded the motion with the stipulation that the theatre and fine arts groop have some input. The motion carried. Mr..Brown stated he would like to publiciy thank Mr. 01son and the Civic [iand for the fine job they have done in the past. He said the Department wanted to thank them. Mr. Peterson suggested Mr. Brown put his thanks in the form of a leLter to Mary Martin, President of the Band, on behalf of the Department and the Commission. Mr. Brown suggested the idea o� the band p�aying sametime in the winter at either City Hall or in the Library. He said they might approach the City Council on that idea. Mr. Peterson suggested Mr. Olson get together with Mr. Brown and try to request it through the City Pianager, rather than trying to get on the agenda for a Council meeting. NAME THE PARKS Mrs. Seeger read a letter to the Comirission from Lillian Meyer of the League of Women Voters listing suggestions from them for ihe names of the parks. MOTION BY HARRIS, seconded bg Caldwell, to Yeceive the Zetter. The motion carried. Mr. Harris commented that this item has been on the a9enda from month to month wait�ng for discussion when all the members could be present, and it has been difficult for them to all make it on the same night. He said that since our country is entering into it's Bicentennial year we should consider using some of the many exceilent names which could come from this celebration of our history. He said he had gotten this feeling from many people who felt the same way. He felt this would be much more appropriate than some of the suggestions, i.e., Salamander, Mud Puppy, etc. He said that he would come back to our next meeting with some suggestions for names. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Mr. Brown had given the commissioners a letter referring to a job offer he has had from the A.S.A. in Okl�hama City. Ne explained what the position entailed and his possib?e acceptance, which wili be based on the terms of the offer. "- MOTION BY XARRIS, seconded bg Caldwel2 to receive the letter.

Ne said that even thou9h in the F.Y.S.A.'s letter they say they w111 make any final decisions, they can only make final decisions on those areas under their jurisdiction, but the ove�all agreement gives the Commission final deci- sions regarding the program. He explaineC that the agreement is probably not hauled out and read every year, therefore, some of the po�icies have been forgotten. WARMING HOUSE ATTENDANTS Mr. Peterson expressed some concern as to whether or not warming house have copies of the warming house duties which they must abide by. He said h others have seen the kids sitting around studying when they should have been ing the children. Mr. Brown answered that the kids do have rules to follow.

Upon a voice vote, aII voting aye, the amended agenda was adopted. APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES: JANUARY 7, 1976 MOTION by Scott, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning Commission minutes of the Januarg 7, 1976 meeting be approved as written. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimous2y. RECEIVE APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES: JANUARY 13, 1976 MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Corrunission receive the minutes of the Appeals Cormnission meeting of.Tanuary 23, Z976. Chairman Harris said the Comprehensive Housing Plan had been discussed at this meeting, but there didn't seem to be any action taken. Mr. Boardman said there was a scheduled meeting of the Appeals Comnission on Janaary 27, 1976, but so far there weren't any other items for this meeting, so he didn't know if this Comnission would meet again on the plan. As Mr. Drigans wasn't present at this meeting, he couldn't ask him. If they did meet and make any recamnendations, we would try to have a rough draft of that recomnendation for the January 28th Planning Comnission meeting. UPON A VOICE VOTE, a21 voting age, the motion carried unanimovsly. RECEIVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CQF9�IISSION MINUTES: JANUARY 6, 1976 Mr. Bergman said the second item should be "Continued Discussion of 3.2. Beer ordinance. MOTION bg Bergman, seconded by Scott, that the Planning Cormnission receive the Concnunity Development minates of the Janvarg 6� 1976 meeting as amended. Mr. Scott said the Human Resources Comnission was still working on the wording of the 3.2 Beer Ordinance. He asked Mr._Boardman when this was supposed to come back to the Planning Commission. Mr. Boardman said there was no set Planning Commision Meeting - January 21, 1976 Page 2 time limit on this, as the Comprehensiye Housing Plan was top priority at this time. �hairman Harris said he noted that the Community Development Comnission was going to set up a project comnittee for the sign ordinance. Mr. Bergman said this had heen discussed at this meeting but they have since changed their mind. The motion that was made at the January 20th meeting was that they recommend to the Planning Commission that L�e�City Administration be asked to prepare a rewritten sign ordinance, covering the problems as they see them. Our reasoning for this was tfiat the City Administration does not sit in with sub-comnittees, and we felt that a sub-comnittee would definitely need that type of guidance to even determine what the apparent problems would seem to be. He said this would be in the minutes that the Planning Corrmission would receive at their next meeting. Mr. Harris said then there would be some action taken on the sign ordinance. Mr. Bergman said their recomnendation to the Planning Commission was what he had previously stated. Mr. Langenfeld said he thought it should be on record that the Planning Cortanission was not against signs as a group. The reason the billboards were handled the way they were was because they were trying to enforce the ordinance. He said that he had heard rumors that the Planning Commission was totally against billboards and signs, and that was not true. UPON A VOICE VOTE, a1I voting age, the motion carried unanimously_ RECEIVE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES: JANUARY 8, 1976 MOTION by Scott, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission receive the Human Resources Coamtission minvtes of the January 8, 1976 meeting. Mr. Scott said he would like the Planning Comnission to note the date of the meeting and the motion made on Page 3 of these minutes, where we established three awards to be awarded annually to an individual in Fridley, an organization in Fridley, and a business institution in Fridley. He said that subsequently tne Columbia Heights Human Rights Commission passed a similar motion, and they got the publicity. UPON A voice vote, aI1 voting aye, the motion carried unaniurnuslg. RECEIVE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETIN6 MINUTES: JANUARY 13, 1976 MOTION by Langenfeld, seconded by Scott, that the Planning Commission receive the minutes of the Environmental Quality Corrmussion's specia2 meeting on January 13, 1976. Mr. Scott said that on the first page of these minutes on the discussion on the Compreh�nsive Housing Plan, the second paragraph, he would like to express the dismay of the Human Resources Cort�nission at the apparent sterotyping of low income people with criminal activities. This was certainly not within the goals of developing human dignity. Mr. Langenfeid said this was from the Human Resources point of view. Mr. Scott said this was from the human point of view. Mr. Langenfeld said he respected Planning Comnission Mee�ing - January 21 1976 Page 3 Mr. Scott's camments, but everyone doesn't think like Mr. Scott. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Scott if he had noted the motion made on page 3 of these minutes. �r. Scott said he had, but he thought he had already made his point. Mr. Harris told Mr. Langenfeld that there seemed to be some paradoxes in the motions passed at this meeting. He said that maybe he could explain some of them to him. He said that on page 3, the motion regarding Section 8 housing seems to be in conflict with the motion on page 4, where they accept the first housing goal. Mr. Langenfeld said maintenance code and the housing goal. the first motion was more an emphasis on a strong last motion was just an agreement to the primary Mr. Langenfeld said that he did thank Mr. Scott for his comnents, because it would make people aware that they were making prejudicial statements, which was probably not their intent when the statement was made. UPON a voice vote, a2I voting aye, the motion carried unanitrrously. RECEIVE PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES: DECEMBER 22, 1975 MOTTON by Peterson, seconded bg Bergman, that the PZanning Commission receive the minutes of the December 22, I975 meeting of the Parks & Recreation Commission. Mr. Peterson said he would just like to call it to the attention of the Planning Commission that the Parks & Recreation Cortmission has been attracting large delegations to their meetings lately. Mr. Scott said he would like to commend Mr. Henry Peterson's stateme�t on a bandstand. He thought this was a super idea. He said the Fine Arts Coinnittee was in the process of assembling some t�pe of orchestral group, and Mr. Peterson may want to contact them to �elp in a'fund raising effort. Mr. Peterson said that Mr. Henry Peterson took this proposal to the 49'er group, after meeting with the Parks & Recreation Comnission, and the 49'er`s have adopted this as one of their pro�ects to raise funds. He said he would tell Mr. Peterson about Mr. Scott's suggestion. He said that the proposal that Mr. Peterson had brought to the Cortmission was a very nice structure and would be a multi-purpose building which could be used for other things other than band concerts. Mr. LangenfeTa asked if this was going to be located in the natural sand dune area. Mr. Peterson said this was one of the sites looked at, but staff favors a site on the East side df Moore Lake, North of the beech area: This would tend to be for the benefit of� those using the beech, but far enough awav from the road to get away fram the noise situation. There were park benches and picnic tables and the 49'er's in conjunction with the Lion's would probdb]y want to make it even more of a family picnic area for band concerts, or plays, or what have you. Mr. Langenfeld said the reason he asked this question was because there was already being opposition formed as to the use-of the sand dune area for this purpose. Mr. Peterson said the Comnission had talked about the noise level of the concert itself, so that people could enjoy the banH concert or outdoor theatre, or whatever was being presented. They were also concerned about planning Commission Meetinq - January 21, 1976 Page 4, � having adequate parking and tfiat there were the proper amount of ingresses and egresses.so it wouldn't cause a traffic problem. It was due to all these considerations that staff felt the Moore Lake site was the best chdice at this point in time. Mr. Scott said he would like to see this used for an an�ual orator's contest. Mr. Peterson said he would like to make one more comnent. He said that tfie Parks & Recreation Comnission felt very badly when it has to turn down a committee such as had appeared before us asking for improvement in their park. Somehow the stark reality of economic accounting and the wishes and wants of the people do not always come out to the same formula. This was the problem that this Conenission was always struggling with. UPON a voice vote, aI1.�.voting aye, the motion carried unanimous2y. RE�EIVE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT: 6970 CENTRAL AVENUE N.E., METRONIC, INC. MOTION by Scott, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Cormnission zeceive the Administrative Staff Xeport for Hetronic, Inc., 6970 Central Avenve N.E. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT By: Medtronic, Inc., 6970 Central Avenue N.E. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: This permit is for an addition on the South side af the Medtronic building to enclose an open space area. This addition will increase their manufacturing area. The addition will have a brick ex�erior which will match the existing building. ENGINEERING: No engineering problems are anticipated ENVIRONMENTAL: The R�ce Creek Watershed District has r�eviewed th� plans and have noted no negative impact from this project. Gonstructian wili take place this winter and the frozen ground condition will preverst the creek banks from collapsing, which couTd happen during spring a�dsumner construction. BUILDIN6 PERMI7 STIPULATIONS: :-:_. ` None. Mr. Harris asked where this addition would be. Mr. Boardman said it would be in the back of the building on the Creek. He said they had already gotten the approval of the Rice Creek Watershed. Mr. Langenfeld said that under environmental, it states that the construction would take place this winter to prevent the creek banks from collapsing. What woul� happen �f thQ ground was not frozen? Mr. Boardman said the purpose of having the permit issued at this time. He said they will blade off the snow so the ground will be frozen hard so they can use heavy equipment, and the entire project will be done while the ground was frozen. Mr. 4angenfeld asked � Planning Cor�nission Meeting - January 21, 1976 Page 5 if this would require any shoring? Mr. Boardman said it wouldn't require any more shoring than they already have. Mr. Narris asked about the drainage in this area. Mr. Boardr�n said it would be the same as they have now. He said they had undergroundsystems for the drain-off now. Mr. Langenfeld asked if we always accepted the findings of the Rice Creek Watershed on developments such as this? Mr. Boardman said that anyone in the Watershed District did have to get a permit from them, but they did not have the final decision. The City could intervene if they disagreed with their findings. The Planning Comnission had some question as to whether there was an appeal section in the rules and regulations of the Rice Creek Watershed District. They asked Mr. Boardman to obtain copies of these rules and regulations and also for a map of the Watershed District. Mr. Boardman said he would do this. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL vOTING AYE, the motion carried unanimovsly. 1. PUBLIC HEARING: Atld�tlon, exc areas).to M-1 Avenue N.E. CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #75-07, BY ZOK: To rezone Lot 18, Block 2, Central View Manor t the East 125 feet thereof, from C-1S (local shopping light industrial areas), '.the same being 1240 73 1/2 � Mr. John G. Bell, attorney representing Mr. Haluptzok, was present. MtlTION.by Scott, seconded by Bergman, that the PZanning Cormni.ssion open the Public Hearing on rezoning request, ZOA #75-07, by Leroy T._Haluptzok. Upon a voice vote, aI1 voting aye, Chairman Harris opened the Public Hearing at 8:30 P.M. hh�. Boardman said the general area where this property is located also had Central Auto Parts and Fridley Auto Par�s. This was an existing residential structure that they propose to use for the sale of parts for antique autos. They would be selling a combination of used parts and new parts that are made for antique and classic automobiles. He said this property was presently zoned C-1S, and in order to operate what we have to classify as a junk yard, it has be to rezoned to M-1. This will also need a Special Use Permit. There was one problem that was noted after this request was made, and that was that Lot 17, Block 2, Central View Manor, will still be zoned C-1S. Tfiis lot should be rezoned to M-1 also and then the entire block would have M-1 zoning except the east 125 feet of Lot 18 which will have to keep the C-1S zoning because there was a service station on this property. This rezoning request should be contingent upon Lot 17 being rezoned to M-1 also. Chairman Harris asked fiow big Lot 17 was. Mr. Boardman said it was b0' by 194'. Mr. Harris said it wouldn't meet the requirements for an M-1 zone either. Mr. Boardman said that if it was the same zoning as the balance of the block, it could be combined with other property. Mr. Bergman asked the zoning of the other property in this area. Mr. Boardman said the property to the South was zoned M-1. Kitty corner from this property it was zoned M-2, and the property across the street on Central Avenue was aoned C-1S. �� Planning Comrrission Meetinq - January 21, 1976 Page � Chairman Harris asked Mr. Bell if he knew who owned Lot 17. Mr. Bell said he didn't. Mr. Boardman said it was owned 6y Jim Halupzok. Mr. Harris said they felt it would be good planning to request the owner of Lot 17 to rezone this lot fran C-15 to M-1 also, to make the zoning consistent,with ttie b�lance of the block. Mrs Bell said he didn't know the present use of this property, but he would check this out with his client. Mr. Harris asked if there would be any dismantliog of automobiles on this property. Mr. Bell said no. He said there would be parts of dismantled auto- mobiles stored on this property, but they would be dismantled before they were brought to this property. He said the small parts would all be inside but there would be some outside storage of the large parts. Mr. Langenfeld asked why this request was for M-1 zonin9? Mr. Boardman said that the nature of this business, which has to be termed a junk yard was only allowed in this zoning. He said it would be allowed in M-2 also, but M-1 zoning was more compatible with the residential character of areas close to this property. Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Bell what he thought of the terminology of calling this business a junk yard. Mr. Bell said that his client was ready to meet all the requirements of the zoning code and the special use permit, and while this would not be a junk yard, what was in a name? Mr. Bergman asked Mr. Bell how he would describe the activities that would be carried on on this property? Would you describe it strictly as sales or would there be dismantling, or assembling or restoration of automobiles, Would there be metal machine work going on? Mr. Bell said there would not be dismantling, there would not be restoration, there would be no torches out cutting up parts, it would be strictly sales. He said the parts would be dismantled before they were brought to the property. Mr. Bergman said that anything that was brought to this property would be in a saleable condition then. Mr. Bell said yes. Mr. Bergman then asked Mr. Boardman if our Code excluded this type of sales from a comnercial use. Mr. Boardman said it did because it had to be called a junk yard, because of the outside storage of auto parts. Mr. Bergman said there were other co�nercial operations that had outside stora9e, so we were making a particular!'distinction because this was the outside storage of auto parts. Mr. Boar�nnan said he didn't see any other way of doing this trecause a junk yard was not allowed in C-1S zoning, only in M-1 and M-2 zoning. Mr. Langenfeld said he didn't agree with the junk yard terminology. He asked Mr. Bell what span of years these antique auto parts would cover? Mr. Bell said that these would be for antique aqd:ciassic automobiles. He said he would like to have it stated that these were parts for antique and classic cars because all of the parts would not be antique. Some of them were new parts for antique and classic cars. He said because the parts viere for classic cars also, he really couldn't state what would be the newest year they would have parts for. These would 9enerally be pre-World War II cars. He said there might be some from right after the war like an Edsel. He said that he personally had had a 55 Studebaker, and his son defined that as a classic. Planning Comnission Meetinq - January 21 1976 Page _7 Mr. Boardman said that in response to Mr. Langenfeld's question on the terminology of this business as a junk yard, under comnercial use, such as a service station, it does state that service stations are not allowed to 'store on their property any wrecked, abandoned, or junked automobiles, or the sa�e or display for sale of us�d cars, Ne-said that the Code defines junk yar�s as any p1ace where two or more motor vehicles not in running condizion, or parts thereof, are stored in the open and are not being restored to operation, or any land, building or structure used for wrecking or storing or such motor vehicles or parts thereof; and including any farm vehicles or farm machinery, or parts thereof, stored in the open and not being restored to operating condition; apd including the cortmercial salvaging and scavenging of any other good, articles or merchandise. Mr. Langenfeld and Mr. Bergman said that made it quite clear that this operation would have to be classified as a junk yard. Chairmap Harris said this should probably have been discussed when we were considering the Special Use Permit. He said that if the Planning Commission should recomnend approval of the rezoning and special use request, they would have to be careful so that this operation stayed the same as they were stating at this meeting, or we could end up with another junk yard operation in the fullest sense. This could be handled with stipulations on the Special Use Permit. Chairman Harris asked if the existing house would be torn dawn. Mr. Bell said no, there would be shelving put in, but it will be used pretty much as it was. Mr. Boardman said he had a couple of questions. He said this house �ould have to remodeled to the extent to make it accessible to the handicapped. It will have to meet the State Building Code, Chapter 55, for the the handicapped. He said they wouldn't have to put in restroom facilities for the handicapped, but they would have to put in a ramp, l" in 20 ft., and the doors will have to be 3'1" wide. H? said that the type of storage they would have in this house might t�e too heavy-a load for the floor structure of a residential building. Mr. Bell said that whatever Mr. Haluptzok had to do to meet the Codes would be done. He.said there would be a solid wood 8' fence. Mr. Boardman said the storage of material could be no greater than 6'. Mr. Harris said there was a parking lot to be put in in the front. Mr. Boardman said they would be allowed to go with five parking stalls at this time, with room for five more if they should be needed. MOTION by Peteison, seconded by Bergtoan, that the P2anning ConuW:ssion close the Public Hearing an rezoning request, ZDA #75-07, by Leroy T. Ha2aptzok.

UPON a voice vote, a12 voting age, the motion carried unanimous2y. Mr. Bergman said that he had no objection to this property being rezoned but he still felt awkward because the comner��a}- operation that was described Planning Cor�nission Meetinq - January 21, 1976 Page 8 couldn't be in a comnercial zone. Mr. Harris said he believed this was a quirk in our zoning ordinance. Mr. Peterson said he agreed with Mr. Bergman but we can`t hold up the petitioner while we change the Code. He said the petitioner seemed happy to operate under the existing Code. 2. PUBLIC HEARING: RE UEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #75-29, BY LEROY T. HALUPTZOK: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.131, 3, A,8 to allow the sale of parts for antique autos in M-1 Zoning (light industrial areas) located on Lot 18, Block 2, Central Avenue Addition, except the East 125 feet thereof, the same being 1240 73 1/2 Avenue N.E. MOTION by Peterson, seconded bg Berg¢tan, that the Planning Coasaission open the Public Hearing on the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #75-29, by Tzrog'T. Halaptzok. Upon a voice vote, aI1 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the PubZic Hearing open at 9:03 P.M. Mr. Bell said the Planning Commission had already discussed some of the modificatiorts that would have to be made before this house could be used for the sale of parts for antique and classic auto parts. Chairman Harris told Mr. Bell that any sign they wanted for this business would be a separate permit and would have to meet the requirements of the sign ordinance. Mr. Harris said that sometimes there was confusion when someone requested a Special Use Permit and a building permit that the sign permit was separate also. Mr. Peterson said that Chairman Harris had mentioned earlier that care should be taken in approving the Special Use Permit and he would like Mr. Harris to state his thoughts on this matter. Mr. Harris said he thought there should be stipulations that there be no dismantling or stripping of automo6iles on the premises. There should also be no baling allowed. Mr. Boardman said that there should be no junk yard operation, just the storage of parts to be sold. Mr. Harris said there should not be storage of old cars or any restoration done on the premises. These were all stipulations that he would like to see on this permit. Mr. Bell said that from what Mr. consistent with what he planned to do any objection to these stipulations. Haluptzok told him, this would be on this property, so there wouldn't be �OTION by Peterson. seconded by LangenfeId, that the PuIbic Hearing be closed an the request for a Special Use Permit, SP k75-29, bg Leroy T.

MOTION by Peterson-�.that the Planning Coffinission recommend approval of the request for a Special Use Perreit, SP #75-29, by Leroy T. Ha2upzak with the stipulations that have been mentioned and ang other stipulations that the staff thought should be incZuded after further research. Mr. Boardman asked if the Plannirtg Commission thought it would be better to state "to only allow" instead of inentioning all the things they wouldn't aliow, such as allow the storage and sales of dismantled parts for antique and Planninq Comnission Meeting - January 21, 1976 Page g classic cars. Mr. Peterson WITHDREW his MOTION MOTION by Langenfe2d, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission recommend approval to the Citg Council of the request for a Spec�aZ Use Permit, SP #75-29, by Leroy T. Haluptzok, as indicated by Fridley City Code Section 205.13I 3, (A,8) to a21ow the storage and-sale--of parts for antique cars on Lot 18, Block 2, Central View Manor Addi�ion, except the East 125 feet thereof, the same being I240 73 1/2 Rvenae N.E. with the stipu2ation thaC we rRake certain that the primarg use be adhered to, with no dismantZing beirsg allowed on the premises. Mr. Bell said the question had come up previously on what was an antique car. He said that this would include classic cars. Mr. Langenfeld said he would amend the motion to include classic cars, seconded by Mr. Peterson. Mr. Boardman said the primary use under the Section of the Code stated says junk yard, and that was the operation we didn't want to allow. Mr. Langenfeld said the wora primary was used in the motion just to denote that the primary use of the special use permit would be the storage and sales of antique and classic auto parts, not the primary use under this section of the Code, but he didn't like the word "only". Mr. Bergman said maybe they could use "limited to" and then exclude the other uses. Mr. Boardman said they could exclude dismantling operations, restoration and haling. Mr. Langenfeld WITXDREW his MOTION, with the concurrence of Mr. Peterson, who had seconded the motion. MOTION by Langenfeld, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission recommend to Council approvaI of the request for a SpeciaZ Use Permit, SP #75-29, by Leroy T.

PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #!5-"su, ts't Kttu BECKLER: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.101, 3, N, to allow mobile home sales in C-2S zoning jgeneral shoppin9 areas) to be located in the vicinity of the Southwest corner of the parking lot at Holiday Village North, on part of Lot 13, Auditor's Subdivision No. 155, the same being 250 57th Avenue N.E. Mr. Reed Becker was present. MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Langenfeld, that the PZanning Commission open the Public Hearing on a request for a Special Use Permit, SP #75-30, by Reed Beckler. Upon a voice vote, a12 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared Ehe Public Hearing open at 9:18 P.M. 4.�s-...u�.:_. ., �lanning Gommission Meeting - January 21 1976 Pa9e ,� Mr. Boardman said the Speeial Use Permit request was to aliow the set-up and operation of a mobile home sales lot or area within the area of Holiday Village North parking lot. The location of the area would be in the South parking lot behind Ho1iday Village North abutting I.694.. They would be utilizing approximately 120' by 300' of space for this type of sales operation. He said that the City administration had a meeting on this request this afternoon and we are having some trouble with this type of an operation. He said they discussed what this request was for, and what type of lease operations could be handled under a Special Use Permit. If a Special Use Permit was granted on a lease operation such as this, what was to stop Holiday Village North from asking for other �pecial Use Permits for other lease operations on this lot. Mr. Langenfeld asked how many units would be involved in this operation. Mr. Boardman said they were talking about 10 units plus an office. Mr. Langenfeld said it seemed like they had just talked to Holiday Village North about cleaning up their parking lot, and this was nothing against the petitioner, but it seemed like they were going right back into cluttering this parking lot. Mr. Boardman said the staff had a problem in determining how much of a parking lot could be used for this type of-lease operation. Mr. Harris asked what this would do to the total number of parking spaces needed for Holiday Village North itself. Mr. Boardman said this wouldn't hurt their parking requirements. Mr. Peterson asked if he understood correctly that this was not to be a part of Holiday Village North's operation, but was to be a separate lease opera�ion. Mr. Boardman said this would be a separate operation run by Mr. Beckler. Mr. Bergman asked if it was normal procedure for a lessee to request a Special Use Permit, rather than the property owner. Mr. Boardman s�id the property owner had signed the request also, but Mr. Beckler was the petitioner. Mr. Boardman said that if this Special Use Permit was granted, the staff felt there were several things that should be done. They felt that the Special Use Permit should be granted to Holiday Village, not to the lease operation. The reasons for this was because we want Holiday Village to be responsible for this lease operation. He said that the office for this sales lot would have to be hooked up to sewer and water. He said this office would have to meet Chapter 55 of the State Building Code to meet the handicapped requirements. We also feel that Holiday Village North should have no other outside Special Use operations. We feel that this operation should have a permanent set-up, so that if this area was used for some other lease operation at a later time, there would be a permanent area for this type of use. By this we mean pern:anent landscaping, permenent curbing and this type of thing. We would like to see this be at one location, so that no matter what type of lease operation came on this property, it would always be in the same location. Mr. Beckler said that he had approached Holiday Yillage several months ago and this was why there was a rezoning of the property. He said that Holiday would be doing extensive landscaping because of this rezoning. He said that when he applied for the Special Use Permit, he was under the impression that he should be applying personally, as opposed to Holiday. He said that in just the last day or two they had come to the conclusion that Holiday should be applying __.._ � Page .11 Planninq Commission Meeting - January 21 1976 -- for the Permit. Mr. Brad Steinman, who works with real esta�e for Holiday was unable to come to this meeting. Mr. Beckler said he has talked to Mr. Steinman and he said that if the Special Use Permit was issued to Holiday, they would be satisfied with that. Mr. Beckler said he had some plans with him showing how the ten units and the office would be laid out on this property. He said that if the office had to be hooked up to sewer and water, they may change this on the plan so there wasn't so far to go. He said that all the units would be l0' apart Mr. Harris asked if this sales lot would be next to the existing building. Mr. Beckler said it would be about 130' away from the building. He said the area where they proposed to have the mobile home sales was now full of snow. Mr. Beckler said that they proposed to have around their office some astro turf, green grass type, and also some redwood chips and some large planters. He said this area was ali blacktopped and he didn't think Holiday wanted to tear it up and landscape it. Mr. Langenfeld asked what type of advertising signs they planned to use. Mr. Beckler said he was open to any suggestions the Planning Conenission miaht want to make. He said they planned to set the sales lot up'�o make jt_�ice and showy. Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Beckler about the lease. Mr. beckler said they had been talking about a year to year lease because he thought this would he what would be stipulated on the Special Use Permit, but they would like a three year lease. Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Beckler if he was now in the Mobile Home business. Mr. Beckler said he was. He said he worked in St. Paul in the 5 Star Mobile Home Sales lot. Mr. Beckler said the operation here would technical1y be a sates lot, but it would not be like other sales lots in the area. The majority of our business was selling mobile homes where they sit. He said they would like their sales lot to look as much like mobile homes already placed on perman- ent lots as much as possible. He said this wouldn't be�a case of high-turnover where we would be moving these units in and out. He said a lot of their homes were already set up in mobile home parks, and were sold there. Mr. Scott asked Mr. Beckler if he was aware that this area had been used for the parking of employee's cars. Mr. Beckler said he was, but it wasn't used extensively. Mr. Scott said he was concerned with vandalism in this area, because there had been instances of theft and vandalism to the employee cars when they were parked in this area, but probably Mr. Beckler intended to have more lighting in this area. Mr. Langenfeld asked if they were going to take any precautions against vandalism. Mr. Beckler said they would he setting up a security system. He said various security guards would be patrolling it :.8t night, and of cource some one would always be there during the day. He said it would be in their contract with Holiday that they assume responsibility for the lights in this area, and the lights would be on all night. Mr. Langenfeld asked if this would be a distraction to the homes in the area. Mr. Beckler said the homes would have their backs to the highway, and people would notice that there was something different in this section of the parking lot, but he didn't think it would be a distraction. Mr. Beckler said they have wanted a location in this part of the City. He said th.�Y could service the parks in this area. He said that one of the Planning Commission Meetinq - January 21 1976 Page 12 problems with mobile homes. People will sell them a mobile home, but no one was willing to sell it for them. We feel we can be of great assistance to them. We also help with the sale of repossessions•. We feel that this section of the parking lot was just empty now, and if we can make it nice, it will help our business and make this part of the parking lot nicer for Holiday Village North also. Mr. Langenfeld said the Planning Commission had been concerned about the area of the parking lot where the garden center used to be, and we didn't want a reoccurence of this, but he said he could see from the plans and from Mr. Beckler's co�versation that this proposat would enhance this area. Mr. Seckler said he had talked to Mr. Steinman of Holiday, and he was agreeable that there be no other lease operation on this 1ot. Mr. Peterson asked if the ten units of this proposal would all be new mobile homes. Mr. Beckler said there would be new and used units on the lot, but the older units would all be reconditioned and would look nice. Mr. Scott said that he just wanted to voice his concern that Holiday had knowledge that they wanted to have this lease operation in this section of the parking lot, and yet when they were questioned about the parking lot during the public hearing on rezoning, this was not mentioned. Mr. Harris said that about 7 or 8 years ago Holiday had in this area what was called a slippery seal slide, and it did not work out very well. He said he was not trying to downgrade Mr. Beckler, but we heard many of the same things he had said, when this slide was proposed. He said he was not sure of all the problems, and things he had heard about were hearsay. He said that from past experience, he was a hesitant about°this proposal. Mr. Langenfeld said he felt that there was a lack of control on the slippery slide proposal than there would be on this aperation. Mr. Langenfeld said there could be stipulations placed on this Special Use Permit, including an annual review, so he felt this operation could be controlled better than the slide proposal. Mr. Harris asked Mr. BecklerT? he knew the new location of,the _garde� center,? Mr. Beckler said he didn't. Mr. Harris said he thought Mr. Steinman said that this would be moved further 5outh on the lot from the previous location. Mr. Boardman said that if this Special Use Permit was approved, he would like to see some permanent type landscaping in this area. He would want this to be a permanent type location so that if the mobile hane sales should leave this location, and Holiday wanted another lease operation on their property, it would always be at this location. He said he would like to see the office for this sales lot moved up into a more landscaped area and change the lay out of the lot. Mr. Beckler said that if they were operating on a one year lease, he didn't think they would want to be tearing up blacktop to have more permanent type of landscaping. He said he could see Mr. Boardman's point about permanent type landscaping, but he didn't know how he wanted them to approach this. Mr. Boardman said that this was in the context that this be a permanent location for a lease operation, He said that what he was thinking about was tearing up some of the blacktop area, putting�in concrete curbing, and allowing for space and also allowing for areas where there would be landscaping. He said he was not necessarily talking about Mr. Beckler's operation, he said he was talking about Planning Commission Meeting - January 21, 1976 Page 13 an operation that Holiday Village would have to make a comnittment to. Mr. Bergman asked Mr. Boardman to re-read the list of stipulations suggested by administration. He said he would like to get Mr. Beckler's reactions to them. Mr. Langenfeid said he fett that Mr. Boardman was asking for stability and didn't want a hit and miss type of operation. He.said that Mr. Beckler had stated that there wasn't too much traffic behind Holiday, and he wondered how he was qoing to get the people to this back lot. Mr. Beckler said they were hoping that people driving by would notice the location and they would be advertising. He said the�r concept wauld be different say than from Certified Mobile Hames over o� Highway #65. Ne said they would be trying to show people when then drive by that there was a location there. He said he didn't feel this was a convenient location, but there would be a lot of visibility of the toti. Mr. Bergman said he would like to have his question answered. Mr. Boardman read the stipulations worked out by the administration. They are as follows: 1. No expansion beyond the 10 units plus the office. �r. Beckler said they would have no problem with this as long as they had enough space to move the units in and out. 2. The office be hooked up to City sewer and water. Mr. Beckler said they would agree to this but they would want to move the location of the office to have it closer to the sewer and water lines. 3. Meet the requirement of Chapter 55 of the State Building Code which was the requirements for the handicapped. Mr. Beckler said they would have no trouble in providing the ramp. He didn't know about the widening of the door. He said they hadn't had to meet that requirement at their other locations. Mr. BnarAma� told Mr. Beckler to check with the State to find out what handicap requirements:tMey would h�ve to meet. Mr. Beckler said he would do this, and would meet all tne requirements of the Code that applied to them. 4. No other outside operations be allowed which require a Special Use Permit Mr. Boardman said they should bear in mind that Holiday would need a Special Use Permit for their garden center. Mr. Beckler asked Mr. Boardman if they were asking Holiday to choo�e between this proposal and their garden center? Mr. Boardman said the staff was concerned about how many Special Use Permits might be requested for the parking lot of Holiday Village.for sales operation. Mr. Beckler said they would be agreeable that there only be one lease operation allowed. 5. The areas should be designated where operations needing a Special Use Permit would be located, and these areas should have permanent facilities on them, such as permanent exterior landscaping. Planning Corrmission Meeting - January 21, 1976 Page 14 Mr. Boardman said he wasn't saying where this area had to be, but if the mobile hor�:sales lot was going in at the proposed location, then that should be a permanent type location. He said that Holiday was a retail type operation with a large parking lot, and they wouldn't want them bo lease out small parcels of this _lot in a series of lease operations: Mr. Beckler said that if Holiday made this a permanent location and the lease operation didn't work out, they would have an area with all these permanent things such as landscaping and concrete curbs, then what would they do with it. Mr. Bergman said this was what they were saying. Holiday should consider the risks before they make a comnittment for this proposal. Mr. Beckler asked Mr. Boardman if they should draw up the proposal or �f Holiday should draw it up, or if Mr. Boardman was going to draw it up. Mr. 8oardman said it would depend upon the Planning Comnission on how many Special Use Permits they were going to allow on this property. If they were going to allow the garden center and one lease operation, then he would want Holiday to draw up plans for permanent locations for these two operations. This would include grassy areas, trees and lanscaping, and concrete curbing. Mr. Beckler said that Holiday and himself had agreed on what they had already discussed, but he had no signed agreement with Noliday. He wanted to wait until he had approval of the Special Use Permit. MOTION by Scott, seconded by Bergman, that the P2anni:ng Coimr+ission c2ose the Public Hearing on the request for a Specia2 Use Permit, SP #75-30, bg Reed Beckler.

This 2andscaping be done by property owner, and not the petitioner. 10. No used mobile homes be placed on this lot that would be an eyesore to the pubZic. Mr. Bergman said he was having trou6le with some of the stipulations and he would like to suggest they be restated. Mr. Scott said he didn't like the stipulation about used homes being an eyesore. Mr. Boardman asked them how old the used mobile homes would be. Mr. Beckler said they wouldn't be older than 1970. Mr. Langenfeld, with the concurrence of Mr. Peterson who had seconded the motion, WITHDREW HIS MOTION. MOTION by Bprgman, seconded by Scott:fAY' discussion, that the Planning Corranission recorr¢nend to Council approval of the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #75-30, by Reed Beckler, per Fridley City Code, Section 205.SOI, 3, N, to allow aabile home sale in C-2S zoning (generally shopping areas) to be located in an area 120' x 300' in the vicinity of the Southwest corner of the parking lot at Holiday Village North, on part of Lot 13, Auditor's Subdivision No. 155, the same being 250 57th Avenue N.E., with the fol2owing stipulations: 1. This Specia2 Use Permit, SP #75-30, be granted to Lyndale TerminaZ Company (HOliday Village North) instead of the petitioner. 2. No expansion begond the IO mobile home. nnits plus the office. 3. This office be hooked up to Citg sewer and water. 4. No other �?utside Iease operations be allowed which require a Special Use Permit.on this property. 5. AI1 faciiities stipuZate3�:��must be instal2ed-�in a permanent fashion. 6. Permanent Iandscaping and aesthetic plans be developed with City Administration. 7. This Special Use Permit be subject to annuaZ review• �ir. Langenfeld said he thought it should be a stipulation that this operation meet all the sign requirements of the Code. Mr. Bergman said he felt that everything to do with this operation would have to fall within the Code. Mr. Peterson said he had no problem with this motion except stipulation number 7. He said the problem with this stipulation was that he himself was a businessman, and when he started something he didn't know if'he would be making money the first year. He said that by making this subject to annual review it might be a form of City harrassment, which he was very much aga9nst. He thought the operator should be given time to get this business going �He- said no one would be willing to spend much money on a project if they could be put out of business in a year. � Planning Comnission Meeting - January 21, 1976 Page 16 Chairman Narris asked Mr. Peterson what limit he would put on this operation as far as review of the Special Use Permit. Mr. Peterson said he didn't see how you could give them less than three years. Mr. Langenfeld said he didn't see this as a harrassment, it was just to make sure they were canplying with the stipulations of the Special Use Permit. Mr. Peterson said that compliance was assumed for a Special Use Permit, and if there wasn't compliance, the Special Use Permit could be revoked. Mr. Boardman said he hasn't always agreed to time limits on Special Use Permits because once thsy have been approved, it would be hard to revoke them. He said you wouid have to prove that this was detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the comnunity. Mr. Bergman said the reason he added this stipulation was because everyone on the Commission seemed to have some concerns about this request. He said the petitioner did mention that he would have a year to yea� lease, although he would prefer a three year lease. Mr. Peterson said he believed the petitioner said the time of the lease depended upon the terms under which he was given Special Use Permit approval. Mr. Boardman said the Plann4ng Comnission should remember that this Special Use Permit was not being approved for Mr. Beckler but for the property owner. Mi. Bergman AMENllED the MOTION to de2ete-8tipvlation 7; th8t.the Special U5e Permi*_'be stibjeet��to annual review. Seconded by Scott. �.. - Chairman Harris said he was going to vote against the motion because in his opinion this would be setting a bad precedence, by doing this. He didn't think mobile home sales, or rent-a-car, or slippery seal slides, or whatever, was part of the nnrmal operation of Holiday_Village North, or Tar9et.Stores, or Holly Shopping Center, or Me�ards, or Skywood Ma11, etc. He said he felt these other properties would be within their rights to request other ancillary uses of their parking lots: He said he couldn't think of one of them who didn't have a corner of their parking lot that couldn't be put to some other use. He said he didn't feel this was a proper use to go along with the present use of the property. UPON a ro2l cal2 vote, Bergman, Peterson, iangenfeld voting aye, Harris and Scott voting nay, the motion carried. Chairman Harris declared a recess of the Planning Comnission meeting at 10:35 P.M: and reconvened the meeting of January 21st at 10:55 P.M. MOTION by Bergman, seconded bg Peterson, to alter the order of the amended agenda to a11ow Councilman Walt Starwalt to speak. Upon a voice vote, aZI voting aye, the rrotion carried unanimoasly. Mr. Starwalt said he was here speaking as a citizen and not as a represent- ative of the City Council. He said that as a citizen there were a couple of things that were a little disturbing to him: -He said they would be discussing this at the Council Conference Meeting on �anuary 26, 1976. Mr. Starwalt said that in the meeting of January 7th of the Planning Cortrpission the phrase 'diverse life styles' had been disturbing to him. He said he personally felt there were a few life styles that we could do without. He said that if they were going to open up Fridley to all life styles, he was against it. He emphasized that this was his opinion and not that of the City Planning Commission Meeting - January 21, 1976 Page 17 Council. He said that on page 7 of these same minutes the Planning Commission approved of Goal #2 which read "Provide for and maintain, without discrimination, a diversity of suitable housing and living environments within the coimnunity." Mr. Starwalt said he was not sure what the Plannin9 Camnission meant by that goal, and he had toyed with some wortlin9-; and he was not suggesting that the Planning Comnission latch on to this wording, but he was just expressing his viewpoint, and a viewpoint which he thought was held by a lot of people in his area. Re said he would change this goal to read "Provide for and maintain. without discrimination as to race, creed, or color, suitable, conventional, family oriented housing and living within the cort�nunity." He felt that if we got away from the family unit as the dominent force in society, fhe further he felt that we were breaking down society. He said he may be old-fashioned and out of tune with everyone, but he really didn't think so, so he had offered these thoughts for the Planning Comnission's deliberations on anything it might apply to. Mr. Scott said that the statement that Mr. Starwalt made was almost the same as a goal that had been recortmended to the Planning Commission from one of the member Commissions. We took it out because we felt we would have to mention other things also, like religion. He said without religion, it could be interpreted that we didn't want �ews in our community. Ne said that when you talk about traditional family units, he said that he knew that ou� society was becomTn9 permissive, but there were widows and widowers that maintain family units, which would not be considered a conventional family � unit. What are you going to do with them; fhrow them out? Mr. Langenfeld said Mr. Starwalt was just trying to say that the family unit was the basic unit of society. Mr. Scott said he would agree with that. Mr. Starwali said the fact that there were people who were widows and widowers maintairr a family life was just a part of life. He just felt that the statement "without discrimination" was too broad, and there were some people they should discriminate against. Mr. Scott said the problem with that was who were they going to discrimanate against. It would have to be spelled out just who you wanted to discriminate against. He said we were dealing with the Minnesota Human Rights Act also. Mr. Starwalt said that he thought the traditional family unit was very important to society and he thought there had been laws passed that were not good for society, even if they were on the books and we had toadhere to them. Mr. Starwalt said the other item he wanted to discuss was in the Environmental Comnission minutes of December 18, 1975 , where they had discussed how the City could determine who was of good moral character. He said that this left him with the feeling that it would be recommended that this statement be taken out of the 3.2-Beer License requirement. It said that it would be hard to prove that someone was not of good moral character. He said he was opposed to having this requirement taken out of the beer or liquor license requirements. He felt that this should stay in the ordinances, and try to uphold high moral character even if it w.as a,t�ugh requirement to determine. Mr. Boardman said he had discussed this with Dick Sobiech and he had indicated that the attorney had recommended that this statement should be taken out. Mr. Starwalt said that at a Council meeting the Mayor had asked the City Attorney if this wasn't standard Phras�o9ngy in these types of ordinances and he said that it was. He said he didn't care how many attorneys said it should be taken out, he still felt this should be in the ordinances and Planning Comnission Meetinq - January 21, 197b Page 18 we should try to uphold good moral character. Mr. Starwal� said he had one more thing to discuss and this was a concensus of the Council, and this had to do with signs. He said the Planning Cortmission had labored hard and tediously with the billboard ordinance, and you realize that we changed some of your recorrmendations which were maybe to your dismay. The consensus of the Council was that it had not and will not outlaw signs. The Council does uphold and respect the need for reasonable signs. It appears to us that the original ordinance was an attempt to virtually outlaw certain types of signs. He said he knew this wouldn't solve their problem, but they wanted the Planning Cortmission to keep doing the job, and the Council thought they were doin� a tremendous job. Mr. Langenfeld said tfiat he had mentioned at the beginning of the meetin9 that it was not the Planning Comnission's intention to be anti-billboard or anti-signs. We were just trying to enforce the existing ordinance. Mr. Starwalt said the Council recognized their dilemna and are in sympathy with you with the problems in this area. Chairman Harris said it was the intent of the Planning Comnission, at a future date, to make some recomnendations to amend the sign ordinance, but you understand that we have been a bit on the busy side, and it was a matter of priorities. � Chairman Harris said that Mr. Starwalt was welcome to stay for as much of the meeting as he would care to stay. It would probably be late. 4. CONTINUED: PROPOSED HOUSING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES MOTION by Langenfeld, seconded by Peterson, to receive the staff sum�rg of the proposed hovsing goals and objectives. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unaair�usly. Mr. Bergman said that from the motion he made at the last meeting, he had expected a staff sumnary of all goal areas made by the member Comnissions.- Mr. Boardman said he would be preparing those for other goals, but the priority at this time was to agree on the housing goals and objectives before the Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Housing Plan. Mr. Boardman said they had already established their housing goal which was to "Provide for and maintain in the cortmunity, without discrimination, a diversity of suitable housing and living environments for all persons." He said he had come up with six housing objectives from the recomnendations of the member Commissions. He had alsoshown how these objectives could be implemented, but that was only for reference, and these did not have to have any recomnendations made on them at this meeting. They should concern themselves with just approvirig the objectives. Mr. Boardman said the first objective was to °Rssure safe and healthful conditions in all housing and encourage consideration of the qualities of privacy, comfort and other amenities." M�470N by Peterson, seconded bg Scott, that the Planning Commission approve of the first objective which reads as fol2ows: Assure safe and healtHful conditions in a2Z housing and en�ourage cons�deration of the qvalit�es of �lanning Commission Meeting - January 21, 1976 Page 19 _ privacy, comfort and other amenities. Upon a voice vote, al1 voting aye, the motion carried unaniarous2y. �-, Ha rris. sai.d the second proposed objective was ° Assure that housing will be provided at a cost each individual and household can afford without compromising essential needs." Mr. Langenfeld said he didn't see any goal that pertained to the elderly. Mr. Boardman said that under this goal they would try to take advantage of all the programs that were available. This would include Section 8 housing through'the Metro Council and the HUD block=grant, aad other programs would have to be researched because he wasn't aware of all the funding that could be applied for. Mr. Langenfeld said he knew they were 9oing to be asked at the Public Hearin9 where the funds were coming from and if they wouldn't be paying for this funding through theTr income tax. Mr. Boardman said these programs already had the money set aside, and it would be spent, so we should try to get a fair share for Fridley. He said that he thought they were including the elderly in this objective statement. Mr. Bergman said that in his terminology to assure meant to guarantee, and he didn't think we could guarantee that everyone could to provided a house that would not compromise their essential needs. Mr. Peterson said that if we were only going through this exercise to get federal monies, then he wanted no part of it. He said if we were developing a comprehensive housing plan to make Fridley a better place to live and to develop the kind of comnunity we want. The other Planning Comnission members agreed. Mr. Boardman said that this was not the end statement of the housing plan, definitely not. Mr. Peterson said that then this would be the answer to the people, that the objective of this plan was to make Fridley a better place to live. Chairman Harris said why don't we say that. He didn't see this statement any place in the plan. Mr. Starwalt said that he agreed that the purpose of the comprehensive housing plan was not to get Federal money. We also agree that if we are going to participate in certain desirdble forms of Federal funds, we do have to comply with certain things. He said this would not be compromising the Council or the comnunity. He said that making Fridley a better place to live was the number one objective, but in the process of doing that we can also put ourselves in the position where we can partake in federal matching funds situations where they do occur, in a manner in which he thought they all could live with. Mr. Boardman said he didn't know how this statement should be handled. He said he didn'tnecessarily feel that.�his had.to bea goal statement in tbe��4using plan. He said maybe this could be a statement of purpose for setting up the goals and objectives. Chairman Harris said he thought this would clear the air on a lot of things. Mr. Boardman said he agreed with Mr. Bergman that the word 'assure' should probably not be in this ob3ective. 3�CifiION by Bergman, seconded bg Peterson, that the Planning Coumtission approve as the second objective "Encourage p"rograms to provide housing at a cost individuals and families can afford withoat compromising essential needs, Upon a voice vote, a21 voting aye, the motion carried unaninausly. Planning Commission Meeting - January 21 1976 Page 20 Chairman Harris read the third proposed o6jective "Promote the preservation and upgrading of existing residential neighborhoods." Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Boardman to define a residential neighborhood. Mr. Boardman said it was a group of residential housing units that utilize similar City services and are surrounded by similar barriers. It was made up of similar types of people. Chairman Harris said that was a neighborhood. Mr. Bergman said he wanted the word neighborhood replaced by housing. Mr. Boardman said he would agree with that. MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Langenfeld, that the PZanning Conmission approve the third goal bbjective to read " Promote the preservation and upgrading of existing residentiaZ housing." Upon a voice vote, a22 voting aye, the motion oarried unanimovs2g. Chairman Harris read the fourth goal objective which read "Promote a sufficient variety of housing types, designs, sizes, ownership and occupancy situations, and environments to allow all individuals a choice of housing suited to their needs." Mr. Scott said he felt the 2nd and fourth objective were the same thing and dne should be deleted. Mr. Bergman said he felt the 2nd objective had to do with economics and this goal had to do with prmnoting a variety of housing. types. MOTTON by ScoEt, seconded by Langenfeld for discussion, that this goal objecfiva .be�approved�changing a2l.-individuais to aZl people.� - Mr. Langenfeld said he would like the other members opinion on this goa1 statement readino °Promote a sufficient variety of housing to allow all people a choice of Aousing suitable to their needs." Mr. Bergman said the goal objective as originally stated he thought was wordy and redundant. He said that if some one asked us how we were going to all this h ere, it would be difficult to come up with an answer. Ne said design, sizes, ownership, etc. would be impossible to promote. He said he thought this was taking away the builders prerogatives, Mr. Scott said he thought what this goal objective was trying to say was that there were more ways to build houses than crackerboxes. Mr. Harris said the new State requlations on the saving of energy was going to restrict this goal objective. In his opinion, this regulation was going to tend to promote the crackerbox house. Mr. Bergman said this was all going to be relative to cost. You could still get what you want, it�tit�ll>�.ust cost you more. � U�on a voice vote, Scott voting aye, balance of votes nay, the MOTION FAILEA Ffb�'ION by Bergman, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Co�ission approve t.�ae fourth goal objective which wi11 read "Promote a sufficient variety of housing to allow people a choice of selection. Mr. Scott said he would speak against this motion, because this wording was almost the same as in the goal statement. He thought the orig nal goal objective supported the goal statement. Mr. Peterson said the goal statement we are providing, and in the goal objective was al7owing peopl� a'selection. Planning Commission Meetinq - �anuary 21, 1976 Paqe 21 UPON a voice vote, Scott voting nag, the other 4 members voting aye, the motion carried. Gha3rnian Harris read the next proposed goal objective. "Develop and maintain the neighborhood concept as a basic phys�cal planning unit for citizen interaction and residential development." Mr. Bergman said the way this goal objective was written,it was out of context of the goal area of housing. Mr. Boardman said he would agree. He said this would probably be under an "Economic Vitality" goal which would be considered at a later date. MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Bezgman, the the Planning Cormaission de.2ete "Develop and maintain the neighborhood concept as a basic physical p2anning unit for citizen interaction and residentia2 development" from the Housing Goa1 Objectives. Upon a voice vote, aZ1 voting aye, the motion carried unanimous2g. Ghairman Harris read the next proposed goal objective: "Promote Metro- wide housing development framework policies, where possible, so as to fulfill the City's role as a Metropolitan neighborhood." Mr. Bergman said he felt the words "where possible" were redundant. Mr. Bergman asked if we promoted Metro-�lide housing development framework policies would we become a Metropolitan neighborhood? Mr. Boardman said we were a Metropolitan neighborhood. Mr. Boardman said this would probably be a better statement if it started with incorporate rather than promote. He said that then the "where possible" part of this goal objective should be left in the statement. He said that we may not want to promote all their framework policies. MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Conmiission approve the goal objective ;'Incorporate Metro-wide housing development framework policies, where possib2e, so as to fulfiZl the City's role as a Metropolitan neighborhood." Upon a voice vote, aII voting age, the motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Scott, that the fourth goel objective as originalZy stated be added_:as'a new goal objective. The MOTION DIED for Iack of a second. Chairman Harris asked if there were any other goal objectives that the Planning Commision felt should be included. There was no response.

Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Ms. Sporre �tated Connie Metcalf had indicated to her that she was very interested in setting up a recycling program in Fridley. She added this would be a good project for a project committee of the Commission. Mr. Olson stated City staff was looking into a project of this type at City Hall. He felt this could be done very easily. He added, however, this type of project should not be set up and run by the City, but by independent organizations.

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION M�ETING _ PAGE 3 REVIEWAL OF MARY MARTTN�S RESIGNATION LETTER: � Ms. Sporre read Ms. Martin's resignation letter aloud to the Commissioners. She stated she did not think it was fair for Ms. Martin to say the Commission had accomplished practically nothing. Ms. Spo'rre stated she felt environmental awareness had been shown, especially.in the North Park matter. She also stated she felt Ms. Martin's comment as to the Cotal disagreement within the Commission was also unfair. Ms. Sporre added there will be differences in opinion in any Commission. However, she did not feel these differences were invalid. Through these differences of opinion, the City Council has the benefit of knowing both sides of the arguments and can, therefore, ?nake better decisions. Brother Sullivan explained he felt it was unfair for Ms. Martin to state the Chairperson, Mr. Langenfeld, had forced the two of them into total impasse. He added he did not share that same view. REVIEWAL OF 3.2 BEER LICENSE REQUIREMENTS: Mr. Langer.feld ordinance (602 to whether this Commission. stated he did not see much relation betwe�n this - Beer) and the er.vironment. He questioned as item should have been brought to the Environmental Mr. Boardman stated the largest item lacking in the ordinance was control. He suggested a definition section be set up as to what would classify a 3.2 3eer operation as a bar - ta•aer•n. He a�ded the ordinance now states if anybody wishes to set up an operation which is accessory to the principle use of the cpera- tion, all they would need would be a license. Ms. Sporre asked what would constitute grounds for denia].. Mr. Boardman stated there is nothing in the ordirance presently which says the City Council can deny a license on the grounds of public nuisar.ce, or anything else for that matter. Ms. Sporre stated she did nct want these operations even 3C0 feet from churches and schools as the ordinance reads. She added residential areas shoule be considered also in this impact radius. She felt this could very easily effect propei^ty values. Mr. Paripovich agreed the impact radius of aii operation such as this was iar greater than 30U feet as stated in the ordinance. He added a home owner has the right to prefer not to have a 3.2 beer establishment near his home. �'� ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING PAGE 4 Mr. Boardman explained if the property is zoned commercial before the iand is purchased by a prospective home owner, he should be aware of this before purchasing a home in that area. Mr. Boardman suggested the following revisions of the ordinance: (1) Allow these operations in a C-2 district only with a special- use permit. (2) Define a bar - tavern, and what type of 3.2 beer operation is classified as a bar - tavern, (3) Define where 3.2 beer is allowed (public park, etc.). (4) Classify what is a secondary use and whether we want to allow it or not. He added, however, "secondary" and "principle!� uses would have to be defined extensively in this case. Mr. Barna suggested possibly non-profit or private parties cou2d be defined as temporary uses only. Mr. Paripovich stated he was against giving then th_s right. He stated he believed the ordinance should be so stringent that it would probably be more practical not to have it at all. Mr. Langenfeld stated he would like the necessity of special-use permits applied to every district in the entire city. Mr. Boardman took exception to this. He stated if the ordinance instututed control, it wouldn't have te be so restrictive. he added special-use permits are applied to property, not the owners. Mr. Langenfeld suggested the following partial definition of a tavern: "The time element where the sale of 3.2 beer on or off takes place f� more than ten to fourteen days." The Commissioners agreed with this definition as it takes fairs, etc., into account. (1) Reclassify a beer and tavera in th� zoning code to be n a C-2 district on;.y �a�_tr. _a (2) Define what constitutes a l�.cense for a beer - tavern (3) Other temporary operations tc he a.liowed with approval of the City Council, -' y � . ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING PAGE 5 Seconded for discussion by Mike Paripovich. '�.`7 Ms. Sporre said she would like the rough draft of the ordinance brought back to the Commission prior to its reviewal by the Planning Commission. Mr. Langenfeld explained if the item was brought back,a delay in its consideration by the Planning Commis- sion could result. Also, any suggested changes could be brought to the attention of the Planning Commission or City Council in the process of its reviewal. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTIN� AYE, THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. DISCUSSION ON ORDINANCE 603 - INTOXICATING LTQUOR: Mr. Paripovich cited a portion of Ordinance 603 - Intoxicat�ng Liquor - which states no license shall be granted or held by any person "who is not of gaod moral character." He questioned as to how the City could determine this. Mr. Boardman explained this cannot be determined. The Commission agreed this ordinance should be clarified by rewriting it.
