CITY OF FRIDLEY
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 17, 1976
CALL TO ORDER:
PAGE 1
Chairman Harris called the meeting to order at 7:40 P.M.
ROLL CALL:
Members Present: Scott, Bergman, Harris, Peterson
Members Absent: Wahlberg, Lagenfeld
Others Present: Patricia Gabel, Vice Chairman of Appeals
Commission
LeeAnn Sporre, Member of Environmental Quality
Commission
Jerrold Boardman, City Planner
APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES: MARCH 3, 1976
Mr. Bergman said the sixth stipulation on page 14 of these
minutes read "Review if there was a need to only allow off street
parking". He said that this should read " Review on-street parking
relative to street widths".
MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Scott, that tbe PZanning Commission
approve the minutes of the March 3, 2976 meeting as corrected_ Upon
a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried ananimously.
BECEIVE COMMUNITY DEVELQPMENT COMMISSION MINUTES: MARCA 9, 1976
Chairman Harris pointed out that these minutes contained this
Commission's recommendation on 40' lots, which would be put on
the agenda of the Planning Commission as soon as they got the
recommendation of the Environmental Quality Commission.
MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Scott, that the Planning Commission
receive the Community DeveZopment Commission minvtes of the meeting
of March 9, 1976.
Mr. Bergman said he would like to point out some of the highlights
of these minutes. He said they had established 5 points of concern
in regard to a teen center in Fridley. These were space, time, cost,
accessibility, and validity of survey. He said there was a motion
made to communica�e with the Human Rtlsources Commission to see if
they could obtain a timetable on this reques� by the Youth Project
Coimnittee, and table any actiori by the Community Development Commis-
sion until this was determined.
Mr. Scott said the Youth Committee Project Committee function was
to advise the Human Resources Commission, the Planning Commission and
the City Council on youth activities. They themselves do not view
themselves as an action-type Committee to run a youth center. They just
want to�be the means whe�e matters selating to youths are brought to"
the attention of the.City. They are not sure that there was a need for
the teen center. They are conducting a youth ral.ly on Thursday, March ;
18, 1976 in the Civic Center to determine if the young people in this
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 2
community want a teen center and if they would support it. They
have gone out and got some professional assistance-to presexit to
the people who attend`this rally, both adults"and`young people,
different proposals from different teen centers around the Metropoli-
tan Area. This way the young people who attend this rally, if they
want a teen center can decide which way they want to go. He said
that he would expect the Fridley Youth Project Committee to
ul£imately make a recommendation to the City on this proposal, and
whether it was feasible or not, rather than they themselves running
a teen center. Mr. Scott said the young people would be running this
youth rally, and they will permit adnits to attend to listen to
what they have to say. However, they have asked that the adults
don't say anything unless they know what they are talking about, and
they feel that that way, they wouldn't have too much adult participa-
tion. They feel that this proposal for a teen center was something
new, and they would like to get as many people involved as possible.
Mr. Scott said he thought it would be a good thing for adults to
attend just to see how the young people conduct themselves.
Mr. Bergman said they also passed a motion recommending tQ the
Planning Commission that the ordinance be revised to require a
public hearing before a business license can be issued in a resi-
dential zoned area. He said the Community Aevelopment Commission
was open to direction on this matter, and would like the Planning
Commission's comments on how they think this should be handled.
Mr. Bergman said this motion grew out of a home occupation license
being granted with some conflict and concerns by the neighbors,
and particularly the surprise to this neighborfiood.
Mr. Boardman said he felt there was some misunderstanding by
the Community Development Commission. He said there was no license
requirement. for a home occupation• He said that none of the
businesses in Fridley were licensed. Some of them were.licensed
by the State, and we do have some lioenees by activity, such as
food, vending or liquor licenses, etc. He said that any activity
that met the provisions for a home occupation did not have any
review process by the City. He said that if someone wanted to
have a beauty shop, for instance, in their home, they can do this
without City review, although this requires a State license. They
just have to meet the requirements of a home occupation. He said
that many people check with the City administration to see if what
they want to do in their home meets the home occupation requirements
in the Code, but if they know these requirements, there was no
reason for the City to become involved under the present ordinance.
Mr. Bergman asked then why the man in question did come to City Hall.
Mr. Boardman said he just wanted to check on the home occupation
requirements, and if his business met these requirements. Mr. Board-
man said he thought the proposed business was blown all out of
proportion. He said that because Columbia Heights does license
business, and had denied him a license, and it was publieized in
the Sun, everyone got upset. He said this man had a full time job,
and had a small clientele. Mr. Bergman said the City ordinance on
home occupations did not=requiie that he contact the administration
at all then. Mr. Boardman said this was correct. Mr. Harris said
that maybe that particular business should be licensed, and maybe
the Community Development Commission should look at that possibility.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 3
Mr. Boardman said that if it pleased the Planning Cammission he
would prefer to have this go ay on� item under the Maintenance Code.
We will be talking about business licenses in that section. He
said a determination could be made at that time, rather than
handling them as two separ6te items.
Mr. Scott said he had some reservations about a business license
for a home occupation because he thought they were treading on
pretty thin ground when they start telling people what they could
and could not do in their own home. He said a fellow in his
rieighborhood had a photography shop and he said some people could
take offense of that. He said he thou�ht this should be handled
in:the review process when they dicussed business licenses.
UPON a voice vote, aII voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE APPEALS COMMI5SION MINUTES: MARCH 9, 1976
MOTION by GabeZ, seconded by Scott, that the Planning Commission
receive the Appeals Cammission minutes of the March 9, 1976 meeting.
Mrs. Gabel said that on the variance request by Mr. Rotter
to reduce the front yard setback from 35' to 25' to allow construction
of a house at 8100 Ruth Street she would like to qo over some of
the points that helped us arrive at our decision-to approve this
variance. She said that Mr. Rotter was present at this meeting.
First, the terrain drops of€.considerably in the back of the lot,
and for hi.m to meet the 35' setback would be economically unfeasible.
Second, hs wauld run into the water table if he met the normal
setback requirement, because some of the neighbors did comment that
sometimes their back yards were flooded, and this could happen on
this lot also. Mrs. Gabel said that Mr. Rotter also agreed to put
up some type of shoring along the creek to prevent further erosion.
5he said one of the other neighbors has already done this, and Mr.
Rotter said he would be willing to work with this neighbor. Mr.
Rotter has also aqreed to try to save trees on this wooded lot.
Mrs. Gabel said the Appeals Commission felt that the hardships
involved on building on this lot were obvious enough to warrant a
variance being granted.
Chairman Harris said the Planning Commission had received a new
administrative report on this request and a letter from a neighbor.
He would like a motion to receive these, and then he would read
them to the audience.
MOTION bg Gabel, seconded by Scott, to receive the admznistrative
staff report and the Zetter from Mr. � Mrs. Robert Fritch of SZOI
Fairmont Circle. Upon a voice vote, aII voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
A13MINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
8100 Ruth Street N.E.
This report was prepared in response to a request by the Appeals
Commission in their blarch 9th, 1976 meetinq consideration of a
variance to the 35 foot front yard setback requirement at 8100 Ruth
Street N.E. The staff was asked to determine if any governmental
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 5
of a natural creek area or is his only interest building a
particular stgle house. Mr. Rotter also stated that the house
that he has plans to build would increase the value of the
properties around it. Maybe a different plan house that would
compliment the natural surroundings of the lot and creek would
be just as profi�able to all concerned. If a house is to be
built on Lot 4, the 20 foot variance would probably be best in
order to maintain the natural sorroundings of the lot and protect
the creek area. Mr. & Mrs. Robert Fritch, 8101 Fairmont Circle -
Lot 7 owners."
Mr. Boardman gave Ghairman Harris another letter that had just
been received.
MOTION by Gab1e, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning Commission
receive the Zetter from Mr. & Mrs. Charles L. Klinefelter, 8145
Ruth Street N.E. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
Chairman Aarris read the letter from Mr. & Mrs. Rlinefslter.
" In reviewing the minutes from the Appeals meeting, March 9th,
we feel there have been a few points missed. (1) If Mr. Rotter
is asking for this variance to build a bigger and better home than
the minimum code requires, he has the right to receive that
variance. (2) We feel that if the lot is kept at the 35 ft. set-
back, whoever owns that property is limited to what he or she
could build on it. This means there is a possibility of building
a low value home, to meet these codes, which could and would
lower the value of the homes around it. A higher value home will
not only add tax dollars to our City, but increase the value of
the surroundinq homes. (3) If the real reason for opposition of
this variance is because someone doesn't want any home built on
that lot, for whatever reason he or she may have, we suggest that
person should try to buy that property from Mr. Rotter. This
would not tie up someone else's money for another's personal
reasons. (4) It was noted that some of the people felt there
could be an aesthetic problem with a new home on that lot. We
believe we already have that problem there, with weeds, trash,
beer cans, etc. We hope this (City) Council sees fit to reduce
the setback, or whatever it takes, to a11ow this man to build.
We believe he has the right to build the home he wants, as long
as it stays as close to codes as possible under these unusual
circumstances. Thank You." Signed by Chuck & Bonnie Klinefelter.
Mr. Robert Venn� 8118 Ruth Street N.E., said his home was next
door to the lot in question. He said he felt it would be best
to allow the petitioner to obtain a variance to construct this
house somewhere ahead of the required 35' setback. He said that
he knew the drop of£ from the back yard was extreme. He said that
in order to see to it that the neighborhood was maintained in a
decent manner in terms of the kind of $tructure that could be
built on this lot, he thought the structure should match the
neiqhborhood as best it can. He said he would rather see the
building farther forward and a nice structure, than to see
something with very minimum standards. As far as the placement
of this house obstructing the view, he said from his house in any
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17,"1876 Page 6
in any direction, if they examined the curvature of the street,
and notice the setback on the extreme ends of it, they all stand
further forward than what was requested with this variance, so
this wasn't a big problem either. He really felt that the petitioner
deserves to develop this lot in this manner.
Mrs. John Walton, 8066 Ruth Street, said �hat their house
was on the other side of the lot in question. She said that at
the Appeals Meeting a lot of time was spent on the type of house
that Mr. Rotter wanted to constuct on thi5 lot. She said this
lot was a peculiar shape and it had peculiar problems. She said
that the Appeals Commission discussed whether they had the right
to tell a property owner how to develop this property. She said
that the Commission was divided on this issue. She said she felt
this was a big house that would crowd �he two houses on either
side of-"this property. She thought the proposed house would
look like a big apartment building with residences on each side.
She said that Ruth Street curved right in front of this lot, and
the Creek bed took a lot from the back of the lot, so it left a
small space that would be buildable. She said that the construction
of this large house would destroy the look and feel of the area.
Mrs. Walton said she had asked at the Appeals Commission why there
was an ordinance which stated that the front yard setback had to
be 35'. She said that she was told that it was for parking and
aesthetic purposes. She said that Mr. Rotter was claiming that
by developing this lot, it would improve the neighborhood, and
on the other hand he was saying that aesthetic considerations
should not be considered by the Commission. She said she had no
objection to Nir. Rotter building on this lot,
but she felt that a variance of that degree would be obnoxious,
aesthetically. She said that Mr. Rotter bought up a lot of
property at one time in this area, and he knew the problems he
was buying with this lot. He knew �hat a house couldn`t be built
on this lot without a variance. She said that at this point in
time she felt that Mr. Rotter was building this la�ge house for self
profit and self gain to the detriment of every neighbor in this
block and she protested.
Mrs. Gerald Carney, 8125 Ruth Street, said that they lived
directly across the street from the lo� in question. She said
she was told at the Appeals Commission that her feelings didn't
count because she objected to this request for personal reasons.
We have a smaller rambler type house, and the houses on this side
of the street were smaller than the houses across the street.
She felt that the type of home that Mr. Rotter wanted to build on
this lot would lower the value of our homes because they were not
as�p�8�an�ious as the athes homes in the area. Mr. xarris told
Mrs. Carney that her opinion counted. Mrs. Gable said she was
sorry that Mrs. Carney got the opinion that her feelings didn't
count because the Appeals Commission did spend an hour and a half
coming to their decision. She said that in regard to this house,
it was being built on a 100' lot, and the only variance they had
asked for was the front setback, otherwise it did mee� all the
other setback requirements of the code. The Appeals Commission
didn't feel this house was too large for the size of the lot.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Paqe 7
Chairman Harris said that he had been over and looked at the
lot and he wondered if there was a site plan for this lot. Mr.
Boardman presented a drawing made by Mr. Rotter, showing the
elevations on the lot and the terrain next to the creek bank.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Rotter how he would shore up the back of
this lot. Mr. Rotter said that he would use railroad ties, and
it would be a system of terraces done with railroad ties. He
said it would be the same system that was used on the adjoining
lot. He said the house was so designed that the end.of the garaqe
would be closest to the high water table.
Mr. Harris asked the lot size. Mr. Boardman said it was 100'
by 100'. On looking at the site plan, Mr. Harris said that this
proposed house would meet all the other setback requirements
except the front setback. Mr. Rotter said this would be a split
entry home.
Mrs. Sporre asked if by approving this variance so that a
building permit could be issued if the City would be liable if
there was flood or water damage to this home from the Creek?
Chairman Harris said no. Mrs. Sporre said there was a growing
danger of floQding because there was 2300 acres in that watershed.
Mr. Harris said that from the top of the bank to the normal water
level of the Creek was 19'.
Mr. Soott asked Mr. Rotter if he had built other homes in this
area? Mr. Rotter said he had. Mr. Scott asked the price range
of the homes he ha3 built. Mr. Rotter said from $45,00� ta $85,000.
Mr. Scott asked if the house he proposed to build would be in
that price range? Mr. Rotter said it was comparable to the other
houses he had built in the area, somewhere in excess of $50,000.
Mr. Scott asked Mr. Rotter if the proposed home would be salable.
Mr. Rotter said it would be.
Mr. Harris asked if this would be a walk-out. Mr. Rotter said
it had to be. Mr. Harris asked if he had thought about any other
type of design for this house. Mr. Rotter said this design
required the least amount of variance. He said he had asked for
a 15' variance, but he wanted to use the least amount of variance
as possible. He said he would try to set the house as far back
as possible to try and maintain the look of the neighborhood and
he would also like to save as many trees as possible.
MtlTSON by Gabeln.seconded by 3cott, that the Planning Commission
recommend to CounciZ that they concur with the Appeals Commission
in the approval of a front gard variance on Lot 4, BZock 3,
Bourdeaux`s Spring Brook Addition, the same being 8100 Rvth Street,
Mr. Bergman said he read in the Appeals Commission minutes that
if this house was built at the Aormal 35' setback that it would
involve great expense. He asked Mr. Rotter if he could explain
what this meant. Mr. Rottter said this house would cost between
$55,000 to $65,000 depending upon.the amount of work he would have
to do in the back yard. He said that if he met the setback require-
ment he would have to remove six large oak trees, and it would
cost $200 a stump to have these removed. He said there wouldn't
_ _ _
Planning Commission Meeting - March'17,'1976 Page'8
be any back yard then, and he would have to 5uild a series of
decks so that his children would have sameplace to play. Mr.
Bergman asked if he had built the homes on Lot 3 and Lot 5.
Mr. Rotter said he built the home on T,ot 3 but not Lot 5.
He said they had to bring some material in for Lot 3 to bring up
the rear yard.
Mr. John Walton, the owner of Lot S, said they hadn't ��d any
problem with their lot. Mr. Rotter said that Lot 3 looked a lot
like lot 4 does now, but it had been shored up with railroad ties
and terraced, and he would continue this same shoring on Lot 4.
Mr. Bergman said he was trying to determine the feelings of
the neighbors. Mrs. Gabel said it seemed like the neighbors
were pretty evenly divided as far as being for or against the
variance.
Mrs. Gabel said that Mr. Rotter had agreed to two stipulations
which were to build a retaining wall and to set the house as far
back as possible.
Chairman Harris said his concern was the bank preservation.
He said that if this variance was granted, he thought the staff
should pay particular attention to the bank preservation at the
time the building permit was issued and during the construction.
UPON a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimous2y.
Mr. Harris said he had a question on an item that the Appeals
Commission did not handle and that was on the blanket variance
on the townhouses in Innsbruck Village. Why was that not
handled?
Mr. Boardman said it was the decision of the City Attorney
that under the townhouse ordinance there were no setback require-
ments. The townhouses were approved strictly through the town-
house plan. Chairman Aarris said he thought the attorney had
better read the ordinance. It doesn't say that any place in
the townhouse ordinance. He said the front yard setback was
35' in R-3 zoning and the townhouse ordinance was never meant to
preclude the zoning ordinance. Mr. Boardman said it was the
Gity Attorney's interpretation that the setbacks on a townho.use
plan were approved with the plan.
Mr. Harris asked if these variances were on a pri"vate road
or a public street. Mr. Boardman said they were from a public
street. Mr. Harris said then they should meet the setback
requirements of a public street in his opinion. He said they
could discuss this at the time they considered the townhouse
plan for Innsbruck Village.
Upon a voice
Scott, Bergman,
Chairman:Harris
he decZared the
vote on teceiving-of the Appeals Commission meeting,
voting aye,�Peterson,-GabeZ.abst�ining,--Harris, nay,
counting the two abstentions as 2 vote for approva2,
motion carried.
Mrs. Gabel said she felt this variance should have been acted
Planning Commission Meeting - Marchil7, 1976 Page 9
upon by the Appeals Commission. Chairman Harris said he voted
the way he did because the handling of the variance for these
townhouses hadn't been answered to his satisfaction.

T FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT
--- -- -" -- �'-- ----�_.....
o a 10 x 30 bi lboar in M-2 Zoning (heavy industrial areas),
to designate the entrance to Plywood Minnesota and Wickes, to
replace an existing non-conforming sign, per Fridley City
Code, Section 214.042, located on Lot 9, Block 1, Great Northern
Industrial Center, the same being 5301 East River Road N.E.
Public Hearing open.
Mr. Charles Seeger, Wickes Furniture, and Mr. Eugene Aunt,
Plywood Minnesota, were present.
Mr. Seege,r said they were back where they started. He said
he had talked to Tom CalSert, the Assistant City Engineer, and
to Paul Ruud of Anoka County, and they would like to have the
intersection at 51st Adenue after the Industrial Park was developed.
He said this development could be in 5 years, 10 years, or 27
years, who knows?.
He said that what he was asking for was for someone to make
a motion to allow us to do what we wanted to do in the first
place, which was to take the present billlioard and bring it up
to the City Code. As he had said before, they would foot the
bill for ang other business that came into the area if they wanted
their name added to this sign. He said that any time they were
requested to take this sign down or':to move the sign due to
development or a change in the road, they would be very willing
to do this. He said that in the mean time, they just wanted to
help people to get to these two business establishments, and first
and foremost he wanted them to get there without taking their iives
in their hands.
Chairman Harris said you couldn't get any help from the County
at all then. Mr. Seeger said the help would be about 10 years
down the road. He said they didn't want to jeopardize the public
or two multi-million dollar businesses until the County qot around
to the problem.
Mr. Peterson said that he was in complete sympathy with this
problem. He said the only problem as he saw it was that if this
special use permit was approved for the sign, he didn`.t know if
this would take care of a lousy traffic situation.
Mr. Seeger said he didn't dispute that this was not the solution
to the traffic problem, but this was an interim solution until the
City came up with a solution. He said that even i£ the City could
solve this problem in 90 days, they would be willing to take this
sign down then. Mr. Harris said he wouldn't hold his breath until
the City and County came up with a solution, because so far we had
got nothing. He said this problem was started at the time this
industrial park was platted. He said this was zoned M-2 and at
P�anning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 10
the time it was platted it was never intended that we put 5,000
cars a week into an industrial type operation. What we have is
two commercial enterprises in an industrial area. Mr. Harris
said it had been his hope that we could have put some prassure
on the County to solve this problem.
MOTION'by Peterson, seconded by Gabel, that the Planning Com-
mission close �he Pvblic Hearing on the request foz a Special Use
Permit, SP #76=02, by Plywood Minnesota, Inc. Upon a vo�ce vote,
a11 voting age, Chairman Harris dealared the Public Hearing cZosed
at 9:03 P..M.
M�TION bg Peterson, seconded bg Gabel, that the PZanning
Commission recommend to Council approval of the reqvest for a
Sgecial Use Permit, SP #76-02, by PZywood Minnesota, Inc., to
allow the construction of a IO' x 30' billboard in M-2 Zoning
(heavy industriaZ areas), to designate the entrance to Plgwood
Minnesota and Wickes, per Fridley City Code, Section 214.042,
Iocated on Lot 9, B1ock I, Great Northern Industrial Center,
the same being 530I East River Road N.fi. with the stipolations
that a directionaZ arrow be added to the billboard and that new
businesses be incZaded on=this sign, the cost of which being
borne by Plywood and Wiekes.
Mr. Scott said he was speaking aqainst the motion because
essentially what this was, was a traffic problem.and building
billboards solves no traffic problem. He said this was a plain
and simple billboard that was in violation of the City Code.
He said that if you want another non-conforming billboard in
the City vote yes to this motion. If you want a traffic sign
in this area, vote no to the motion.
Mr. Bergman said that he felt the Planning Commission was being
asked to bear a greater burden than was applicable. He said he
somewhat concurred with Mr. Scott's statements. xe thought the
County was being wishy-washy in their responsiblity. He said he
sympathized with Plywood Minnesota and Wickes who want to in the
best fashion identify their business, but he said he was not sure
that this was a City concern, but was a business concern. He said
the request for this billboard was in conflict with the City
ordinance in two of the eight criteria. He said that for lack of
a better solution, the Planning Commission was being asked to
recommend approval of a quick and dirty treatment, and he felt
sensitive to giving approval to a non-conforming billboard.
Mr. Peterson said he would speak in favor of the motion although
he did not necessarily disagree with Mr. Scott or Mr. Bergman, but
he did think the City had obligations towards its citizens who
are tax paying members and who are in this situation that the City
allowed when it granted buildinq permits for this area. If the
granting of a non-conforming billboard under the stipulation that
if something was done to improve the traffic problem that the
petitioners would be happy to tear it down, he felt that from that
standpoint we did have an obliga£ion to give a good City for our
businesses to operate in. Maybe we were being asked to solve
problems that we shouldn't, but on the other hand these businesses
Planning Commission Meeting - March T7', 1976 Page 11
we=e there, and we as a City have granted the building permits
and the development plan that has caused the problem, so in
that respect, the City does have an obligation.
Mrs. Sporre said the Environmental 4uality Commission has
formed an East River Road Project Committee because they under-
stand that there are very many problems involved. We are
concerned about the aesthetic beauty of East River Road and
the problem that Mr. Peterson was addressing. She said they
were also concerned about the safety of East River Road, and
that was of paramount concern. Traffic problems would be
something that the Committee would be addressing, but she
understood this was a necessary stop-gap, and therefore she
would recommend that the Planning Commissian approve this
request because this was something that had to be dealt with
because people's lives were at stake. She hoped that the Committee
could come up with a better solution in the future.
Mrs. Gable said that she agreed with Mrs. Sporre. She said
that she personally did not like to see another billboard go up,
and a billboard will not solve the big traffic groblem. It does
seem that a directional sign would aid people in getting to these
businesses. She said that both these businesses pay taxes to
the City of Fridley, and they have the right to direct people
into theie business, so she was in favor of the motion.
Upon a voice vote, Scott and Bergman voting nay, Harris, Peterson
and Gabel voting aye, the motion carried.
Mr. Seeger said he would continue to work with the City and
the County for a better solution, but he thought the Planning
Commission had made a wise decision for the present. At least
it will keep the patient alive until the doctor gets there.

Planning Commission Meeting - March'17, 1976 ka�e 12
Chairman Harris said there were several conceYns that were
mentioned at the last Planning Commission meeting, and questions
were asked of the Darrel Farr Development Corporation and of the
City staff. He said that there was a memorandum from Darrel Farr
and the City's answer to that memorandum, plus the answers to
questions asked of the City staff that were given to the Planning
Commission just prior to this meeting.
MOTZON by Peterson, seconded by Scott, that the Pianning Com-
mission receive the Darrel Farr Memorandum, plus the memo to Dick
Sobiech from Jerrold Boardman dated March 16, 1976. Upon a voice
dote, aIl voting aye, the motion carried vnanimously.
Chairman Harris said the first concern was that the streets
did not meet the City specifications. The Darrel Farr memorandum
states on streets: 1. The City of Fridley is the grantee under
the road easement from the Fridley line across New Brighton tQ
the Silver Lake Road. (Paragraph 3, Page 2, Development Agreement
dated February 1, 1971) a. The taxes being paid on the townhouses
presently in place in the Black Forest is in the area of $200,000
exclusive of single-family houses. b. It seems reasonable that
Fridley should maintain and plow North Innsbruck Drive until such
time as the permanentroad is constructed. 2_ The road from the
Fridley line to Silver Lake Road was built according to City
specifications and with the City's agproval. (Paragraph 4, Page
3, of the Development Agreement.)
Chairman Harris said that the City staff's reply to these two
items was the following: 1. & 2. The City should not, at this
time, take over the maintenance of the road easement from the
City line to Silver Lake Road. This ioad is the primary entrance
and exit for all construction vehicles and should be the responsi-
bility of the developer so long as development is still occurring.
Agreements for this maintenance should be drawn up as a stipula-
tion for plat approval. At that time when construction is com-
plete, and if New Brighton has not firmed up road development in
this area, the City could consider take over of the maintenance
of this road if the developer would insure that the road is brought
up to City standards.
Mr. James Druck gave the Planning Commission a copy of the
Development Agreement.
Chairman Harris said that item 3 under streets in the Darrel
Farr memo states: 3. The Development Agreement sets out on
Paragraph 5, Page 3, that all streets and utilities in the town-
house area shall be approved by the City of Fridley. Mr. Board-
man's answer to that was "The streets and ultities in the Townhouse
Association property �ave been constructed to spedifications ap-
proved by the City. There should be no additional burden to the
Association for repair or maintenance over that of a normal resi-
dential street. Although the width of the private streets are
not necessarily the same as a residential street for public use,
they were approved by the City." Number 4 in the Darrel Farr memo
states: 4. As regards street repair for construction traffic
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 13
in Addition 4 and 5, the following: a. West Bavarian Pass was
designed with future construction traffic in mind and as such
is a nine ton road consisting of a 4 1/2" asphalt and a 1 1/2"
wear course. b. Although we will be using both West Bavarian
Pass and Meister Road for construction traffic, we will, to the
best of our ability, restrict heavy vehicles to West Bavarian
Pass. c. We will escrow $10,000 at the start of construction
with the Homeowner's Association to apply to resurfacing or
repair of existing streets. This will be treated as a prepay-
ment of fees required of the developer at the rate of $10.75
per month per lot. d. $10,000 should pay for a 2" overlay on
Meister Road and West Savarian Pass. e. We will block East
Bauarian Pass from the end of the Vienna Townhomes to the Fifth
Addition during construction. f. We will patch the asphalt during
the construction period and will sweep the streets because of
construction mud as needed. This will be done at the developer's
expense. 5. The off-street parking in the Fourth and Fifth
Addition has been requested by the Ci�y and is shown on the plan.
Mr. Boardman's memo in his answer said in regard to number 4.
We feel the memorandum covers the Association`s concern on street
repair due to construction traffic, and number 5. Off-street
parking is acceptable as shown on the plan.
Mr. Farr said that in regard to his memo, they had met with
the Board of Directors ot the North Townhouse Association last
Friday night (March 12, 1976), and we discussed all the street
problems in regard to the interior streets in the Association.
We did come to verbal agreement with them, and our legal counsel
was drafting an agreement that would be signed and executed prior
to the City Council meeting of April 12th. Mr. Douglas Van Arkel,
�resident of the Townhouse Association confirmed Mr. Farr's
statement.
Mr. Peterson asked if the negative statements that were made
by people in the Townhouse Association had been answered by this
memo. Mr. Van Arkel said the Association Was not as concerned as
they had been about the interior streets, but they were still
concerned about the extension of North Innsbruck Drive between
the Fridley line and Silver Lake Road. We still wonder how this
problem can be solved.
Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Farr how much work would be involved
in bringing the North Innsbruck Drive extension up to City stanards.
Mr. Farr said he didn't know, but it would cost more money than he
would want to pay. He said that what the City memo was saying was
that the City shouldn't take over the maintenance of this road at
this time. Ae said there would have to be some new type of agzee-
ment drawn up if he, as the developer, was expected to maintain
that extension road at the present time, because his obligation to
maintain that road had expired on February 18, 1976. He said that
as this road needed repair now, he £elt he was under some obliqation
to repair the road at this time. Mr. Peterson said that as Mr.
Farr was coming before the Planning Commission and the City Council
£or new development in this area, he would be very interested in
how the problem of this road being maintained was going to be
handled before he had to vote on these proposals.
__ _
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 19'76 Rage 14
Mr. Farr said that he thought a reasonable alternative, and
he hadn't discussed it with the City staff, was for us=to maintain the
road until such time as we complete construction, which was a
concession on our part, and for the City to plow this road in
the winter, because he felt this had been the biggest single problem.
The equipment that we have to plow the Black Forest was not large
enough to do an effective job. The equipment that the Townhouse
Association has was not large enough to do the job either. He
said th� City already plows North Innsbruck Drive, and for them
to plow this additional'1300 feet between the City line and Silver
Lake Road seemed a reasonable request, as this road was used by
Fridley residents. He said that he was agreeable that they would
maintain the road until such time as the construction was completed
if the City would plow the road in the winter time.
Mr. Bergman said the pot holes in this street extension were
getting deeper every day.
Mrs. Gabel said she was completely confused on who was supposed
to be responsible for this road. Chairman Harris said that was
the crux of the problem. Thisstrest seemed to be in limbo at
the present time.
Mr. Aarris said the Planning Commission had some concerns
about the parking for the recreational building. Mr. Farr's memo
states: 1. At the time of the planning and zoning, the City did
not want to provide a lot of parking in the area of the recre-
ational building to preclude the use of the recreation building
for things unrelated to the Homeowners Association, i.e., antique
sales, etc. 2. We have Drovided parkincj for approximately 27
cars at present. 3. We can provide an additional 20 car parking
on the east side of Meister Road and south of the recreation build-
ing. a. This parking, because of the topographical conditions,
would require the partial filling of the low area east of Meister
Road and the destruction of a very large area of trees. We in-
tend to leave this decision to the Homeowner's Association. Mr.
Harris said the City staff was agreeable to these statements.
Mr. London said they had dicussed this with the Townhouse Assn.
also, and they will make this decision by April lst. Mr. Van Arkel
said that he felt this decision vzas tip to the Townhouse Association
and was between them and Mr. Farr. He didn't think this was up
to.the City, and they wouldn't be involved in this decision. He
said that many people in the Association were not in favor of the
destruction of a great number of trees to provide more parking.
Mr. Farr said they were prepared to put in an additional 20 parking
stalls at the Homeowner's Assocation direction.
Mr. Harris said that to back up, he asked Mr. Boardman what
was meant in his memo about the maintenance of the extension road
between the New Brighton line and Silver Lake Road. Mr. Boardman
said �hat in the past, the City had a five year deuelopment
agreement with Darrel Farr on the maintenance of this extension.
He said the intent of that agreement would that the construction
would be entirely completed within these five years, and that by
that time a decision would have been made by New Brighton for
permanent road location.- This wasn't the way it happened, but
P3anning Commission Meeting - Marcn '1T, 1476 Page 15
administration feels that as construction was still going on in
the area, it should still be the responsiblity of the developer
to maintain this road, and any responsiblity the City might have
would be after the construc�ion was completed, if the road devel-
opment plan hadn'.t been firmed up by New Brighton at that time.
He said the developer would still be using this extension for
entraace and eqress during the development of the property. He
said that when the developer no longer owns property in this area,
then he would then have no responsiblity in maintaininq the road.
Mr. Boardman said he didn't belie�e.that'.this extension road had
been constructed as a 9 ton road, and he didn't know if any inspec-
tions had every been done on it. He said it was put in late in
the fall, and by the next spring it was pretty well broken up.
Mr. Peterson said that Mr. Farr has stated that he would be
willinq to maintain this road during construction, if the City
would plow the street, because this had been inadequately done
because of the size of the equipment used in this development.
He asked Mr. Boardman if he foresaw any problems with this pro-
posal-if the road was maintained in�such condition that it could
be plowed. Mr. Boardman said this was a decision that would have
to be discussed with the Public Works Director and the City Manaqer.
Mr. Farr said this road was put in the day after Thanksgiving,
and they knew it was going to break up, but they had to have some
way for the people to get in an out of the area in the winter
time. He said it was resurfaced the following spring.
Mr. Jim Lakaszewski, 1536 South Oberlin Circle, said that as
far as he could understand, the Darrel Farr's agreement was at
an end, and it'� he City of Fi=dley's turn to play the game with
this extension. Mr. Boardman said that it was the intent of the
agreement that it would be in effect until the construction was
completed in this area. Mr. Peterson said that wasn't what the
agreement said. He said that most of the City administration that
were here in 1971 are still with the City. He said the agreement
was signed that this would expire in five years, and now they want
to change the rules of the game in the fourth quarter.
Mr. Druck said that Mr. Farr did_not have any quarrel about
maintaining this road during construction, if in turn the City
would agree to plow the street. because of the size of equipment.
He said this would only be about 1/4 of a mile, and with all the
streets that Fridley plows now, this wouldn't seem like too much
of an additional burden.
Mr. Harris asked if the Planning Commission wanted to go all
through both memos before any additional comments were made. Mr.
Peterson said he didn`t-think there was much problem with the
rest of the memo. Ae said it seemed that the Homeowner's Assn.
was satisfied with Mr. Farr's memo and the City staff was satisfied,
and there was agreement on everythinq ex�ept the extension road of
North Innsbruck Drive.
Mr. Bergman said the North Innsbruck Drive was a fine street,
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 16
up to the Fridley boundary. At that point, it narrows appreciably
to a 24' street_which was curbless. He said this street merely
follows the natural terrain with hills and vales, including some
slippery spots. He said he thought the bottom slope carried
water across it, instead of being raised and having a culvert
running under the road. He said there was quite an amount of
pedestriari traffic with no place to ealk except along the edge
of this curbless street which was presently poorly plowed. He
said that the statement in`the staff inemo on this extension could
mean that any actual improvement on this street could be ten years
away. He said that with the increased density that will occur
with the completion of this density will make this problem get
worse fnstead of better. He said he was concerned because we
were discussing stop gap measures instead of addressing the real
problem.
Mr. Aarris asked if it was the intent that at some time in the
future to have this road connect to Palmer Drive? Mr. London said
it was. He said �he road would then start to curve riqht at the
end of the improved North Innsbruck Drive, and then around the
gravel pit where it would tie into Palmer Drive. �
Mr. Peterson asked if the easement had already been given for
this proposed road. Mr. London said that at the time this road
proposal was approved, they owned that property, but he didn't
think there was an easement now. Mr. Boardman said that road
pattern would be worked out when the property was developed in
New Brighton. Mr. Peterson said then the only property that
was under the control of Fridley was the qranted easement for
the extension of North Innsbruck Drive to Silver Lake Road, so
that's what they should be concerned with and not pie in the sky
at some peziod in time that could be quite far into the future.
Mr. Farr said that at the time these developments were planned
in Fridley, they had also planned 1,000 units in New Brighton.
The traffic study they had done, using the new street proposals
did show that this area would not have any traffic problems with
that street plan. He said that if he still owned the,property
in New Brighton, he would hurry up and build this road. He did
feel that if the extension road was really maintained, that people
wouldn't be quite so upset with this road.-
Mrs. B. J. Ewers, said that she felt this 24' street was too
narrow for two cars to pass now, and she didn't care �hat any
traffic study said, she felt there had to'be an answer to the traf#ic
problem that existed today.
Mr. Stephen Tollison, 5538 Meister Road, said there was a
question raised at the last meeting about the people in the
townhouses paying the same taxes as people who live on public
roads and have their streets maintained and plowed, as opposed
to people who have private roads, and bear all these costs themselves.
Mr:-Boardman said that taxation was based solely on va2uation of
property, and not on services provided. (Several people in the
audience took exception to this statement and said it was contrary
to what they had been told by the Asssessor).
Planning Co�nission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page '17
Mr. Harris then proceeded to read all the answers in the
staff inemo which had been directed to them at the last meeting.
1. The street specification is answered under I(3) of the
memorandum. To date there has been no parking problem related
to emergency vehicle operation that we are aware of in the
Association property. If this does become the case, it is
anticipated that 'no parking; signs could be located where
needed. 2. Taxation is based solely on valuation of property,
and not on services provided. The City will not take over the
maintenance of the streets in the Townhouse Association. The
roads do not meet right of way, setback and width requirennents
for public streets and any take over would set a precedence
for the maintenance for other private developments. 3. The
City of New Brighton will not take any positive action on road
construction until the property is developed. They have been
granted a State Aid connection when final location is decided
upon.
Mr. Terry Wiley, 5571 East Bavarian Pass, said that as none
of their taxes were going towards the maintenance or plowing
of their streets, then he thought it'$houls go towards givi,ng them
a decent road to Silver Lake Road.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Besgman, that the Planning
Commission close the public hearing on the consideration of a
preliminary plat, P.S. #76-01, Innsbruck North Tawnhoose
IV and V Additions, by Darrel A. Farr DeveZopment Corporation.
Upon a voice vote, aI1 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared
the Public Hearing closed at 10:I5 P:M.
Mr. Bergman said he thought they were involved in a step
by step process here and what he thought should be step one
would be to eliminate the hazards on the extension of North
Innsbruck Drive.
MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Gabe1, that the Planning Commission
request the Citg Council to pass a re5olution that the City adminis-
tration get together with the Darrel Farr Development Corporation
and physically view the extension of North Innsbruck Drive up to
Silver Lake Road, and establish an agreement for immediate correction
of the pzesent surface hazards.
Mr. Peterson said that he spoke in favor of the motion, but
he had some questions and one of the questions he had was what
was fair for the Darrel Earr Corporation because he felt that
he had come to this meeting with a good proposal, and he had
tried to be agreeable. He said he was sure that Mr. Farr had
no objection to meeting with the City in terms of looking at the
road and in establishing what should be"done, but he has said that
he would be willing to pay to repair the road. He said that before
we make a motion like this, he thought some assurance should be
given to Mr. Farr that we concur with his request for development.
Mr. Bergman explained his motion, and said he wasn't too concerned
on who fixed this road, just so that it got done. He said that if
Darrel Farr didn't want to fix the road without assurance that his
proposal would be approved, then he thought the City should fix the
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 18
pot holes. Mr. Boardman said that he didn't know if the City
administration could take some action on this without Council
action, and the next Council meeting was April 5th. He said a
resolution took Council action, it wasn't a decision that could
be made by the administration.
Mr. Farr said that if they could get asphalt they would patch
that road right away. Mr. Bergman said he would appreciate that.
Mr. Harris said then there was no need for a resolution to have
the City go out and patch the road.
Mr. Bergman said that on the basis that Darre2 Farr would patch
the pot ho2es, he would WITHDRAW HIS MOTION. Mrs. Gabe1 withdrew
her second.
Mrs. Sporre asked who was going to plow the snow. Mr. Bergman
said when he made the first motion, he knew there were many other
problems to be addressed.
Mr. Bergman said he didn't think the question of the extension
of North Innsbruck Drive had been answered as had been requested
at the last meeting. Mr. Boardman said he thought that it had.
He said there were two positions on this street, the City administ�a-'
tion's and Darrel Farr's. Ae said the Planning Commission should
make a recommendation on how this conflict could be resolved, but
it was a Council decision. He said there would have to be a new
agreement worked out on this North Innsbruck Drive extension. He
said that City administration could not say how it was going to
be handled. It was not their decision to make.
Mr. Bergman said that it seemed that if a developer says a
street was going to be public, then it had to meet certain
guidelines, but if a developer says a street was going to be
private, then it was no longer treated with the same guidelines
or r-equirements, and he couldn't understand why this should be.
Mr. Boardman said that the streets in a private development have
to meet specifications approved by the City. When we talk about
City specifications for streets in public areas we are talking
about the required street width, the right of ways and setback
requirements, He said there was a public responsibility the
City had on public roads. Streets in a private area were no
longer a public responsiblity was no longer in effect at the
City level. This was the reason why although we approve the
specifications for the construction of the roads as to mat and
base, the street widths can vary for a private development.
Mr. Scott said he thought it shouid have been outlined clearly
what streets were the responsiblity of the City, what streets were
the responsiblity of the developer, and what streets were the
responsiblity of the Townhouse Association. He said he felt that
the extension road from the Fridley line to Silver Lake Road had
been badly bungled by the City, and because they had bungled in
in putting a five year agreement on the maintenance of this road
which has now expired and the development of the area was not
completed, he felt it was the City's responsiblity to see that
Fridley residents had a safe exit and entrance to North Innsbruck
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 19
Drive, and hopefully the City would take care not to get caught
again in this type of nonsense.
MOTION by Scott, seconded by Bergman, that a recess be declared.
Upon a voice vote, all votin9 aye, Chairman Harris declared a
recess at I0:35 P.M.
Chairman Harris reconvened the Planning Commission meeting at
10:59 P.M.
Mr. Terry Wiley, 5571 East Bavarian Pass, voiced his concerns
about the problems on the 24' streets during the construction
of the townhouses in this plat.
Mr. Harris said it had just been called to his attention that
the Public Hearing had been closed on Innsbruck North Townhouse
IV and V Additions, and there were people who wanted to discuss
problems in the Sth Addition, so this public hearing should be
reopened.
MOTIQ� by Peterson, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning
Commission reopen the Pvblic Hearing foz the consideration of
a pre2iminary pZat, Innsbruck North Tawnhouse V Addition, by
Darrel Farr, part of P,S. #76-01. Upon a voice vote, a1Z voting
aye, Chairman Harris declared the Public Hearing open at I0:52
P.h1.
Mr. Wiley said there were items mentioned at the last meeting
that hadn't been discussed at this meeting. He said that it was
stated that East Bavarian Pass would be closed during construction
of the approximate number of 50 townhouses in this area. He said
that after the construction was completed, and the people £rom
these 50 townhouses start using East Bavarian Pass, it was going to
create a problem. He said it was very difficult to back out of
garages on East Bavarian Pass because there were usually people
waiting to get on to Meister Road. He said he felt there should
be a second exit for this area.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. London if there was anything that could
be done to eliminate the bottleneck to Meister Road? Mr. London
said that East Bavarian Pass had been approved at the time of
the Vienna Townhouse proposal. He said that the reason the two
garages 50' from Meister Road were set so close to this road was
because of the topography of the area. Mr. Boardman said the
Southern exit off East Bavarian Pass was quite steep, and if
this exit wasn't so steep, some of the traffic could go this way
to Meister Road. He said the City would like to see two good
exits from East Bauarian Pass.
Mr. Wiley asked if there couldn't be another access that
would join up with the service drive £or the Heritage of Innsbruck
Nursing Home? Mr. London said the problem with trying to have
an access in this location was that we would be talking about
another extension that went into New Briqhton, and as there weren't
any road patterns established in this area in New Brighton it
wouldn't be a solution now, but ultimately there could be an
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 20
access at that point.
Mr. London said the IV and V Additions would be annexed by
the present Townhouse Association, with all private roads.
MOTION by Scott, seconded by Peterson, that the PZanning
Commission close the Public Hearing on Innsbruck North Townhouse
V Addition, Hy Darrel Farr Development Corporaton. Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the Pub2ic Hearing
closed at 11:05 P.M.
Mr. Peterson asked if there was any way that the 24' road
that was the extension of North Innsbruck Drive could be widened.
Could the City obtain a larger easement so this could be widened
to at least 36 feet? Mr. London said the City had a 66' easement
for this road. Mr. Peterson said they had been under the impression
that this was only a 24' easement. He said that this made a lot
of difference because there was room to widen this street and
even put in sidewalks.
Mr. Peterson raised a point of information, and asked Chairman
Harris what action they could take on this plat. Mr. Harris said
they could recommend approval of the plat with stipulations, or
they could make a recommendation for a resolution on particular
problems.
Mr. Peterson said he was still in sympathy with Mr. Farr in
developing this plat, but because of the discussion we have had
on the 1500 feet of unsafe road, and the fact that we now find
that the City has a 66 ft. easement for this road, he would like
to see. some type o£ resolution that would express the concern
of the Planning Commission to the City Council on behalf"of the
citizenry, and that we would like to see a street put in on that
eas�ment that would meet all the City specifications for a public
street, that could be a shared cost of the City and the developer,
or by an agreement that could be worked out with the developer,
so that we don't have this continuing problem.
Chairman Harris said this could be handled as a separate
item, but for himself, he would like to study this 1500 feet
further, and he didn't think he wanted to see the approval of
this plat held up, while this road problem was being studied.
He felt this road affected the entire area, and should be handled
separate from the plat. Mr. Peterson said that his problem was
that he approved of the plat, but he couldn't vote in favor of
it, when there wasn't an adequate road to get the people in and
out. Mrs: Sporre said there should be some assurance given to
the people who would be buying these townhouses, that there was
an adequate road to provide fire protection also. Mr. Harris
said he agreed, but this was such a large and important issue,
he thought the road problem needed more time spent on it. Mr.
Peterson said he would like to make a motion to approve the plat,
and make one of the stipulations that their be a;solution to
the 1500 feet of road in New Brighton within a certain time frame.

9. That within one month, the City administration and the
Dazrel Farr Development Corporation present a proposal
to the PZanning Commission for a solution to the I500'
extension of Aorth Innsbruck Drive to Si2ver Lake Road.
(As any proposaZ for this extension woald have to be at
the City Council`s direction, this one month time period
would have to be from Apri1 5, 1976 (Hoancil meeting) to
May 5, I976 (Planning Commission meeting).
UPON a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimous2y.
Mr. Boardman said the intent of the 9th stipulation was
that this proposal come back to the Planning Commission for
aqtion at that time. Mr. Peterson said that was the intent of
this stipulation.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 22
Mr. Boardman said the units which would be built in units
of two were basically the same as the �ownhouses that had been
developed in Phase I, II, and III.
Mr. London said there wou�d be basically two types of
buildings in.the 4th and 5th Additions. He said one plan would
be to have the two units separate and connected by a garage.
This type of building would £it on land that sloped up from the
street. He said where the two buildings were joined together
would be where the land sloped down from the street, and would
be generally the walk-out type.
Mr. Scott asked the price range of the townhouses in these
plats. Mr. London said they would be in the $40,000 to $50,000
price ranqe.
Mr. London said these plans have been taken to the North
Innsbruck Townhouse Association, the Architectural Control
Committee, and we qot a lot of recommendations from them which
have been incorporated into the plans for the new development.
We did get the approval of this Committee.
Mr. Boardman said the staff felt that the designs of the
townhouses in these plats were compatible with the existinq
units.
Mr. Farr said the revised figures for these tawnhouses
would make the cost from $45,000 to $60,000. He said the
units were expandable, and could be as large as 5 bedrooms.
He said the biggest unit had 2240 square feet and the smallest
unit was about 1400 square feet.
Mr. Boardman said these were not the structural.plans.
They would be submitted at the time building permits were
requested.
Mr. Scott said he had some concerns about the limited
range of the costs of these units. It tends to gravitate
towards one specific group. He said that the Human Resources
Commission felt �hat with innovative designs they could provide
for more variety to pro�ide for a broader range of income levels.
Mr. Farr read from a 1974 study by the Metropolitan Council
on Planned Unit Developments (PUA). He said this was on housing
costs. He read""It was difficult to ' single out one or two of
the highest priced PUD's, but one would be the townhouses at
Cedarview with a top price of $65,000=and the single family homes
of Innsbruck North which may sell for up to $80,000 or more.
Developments having a diversity of price would include Briarwood,
Innsbruck North, Shellview, and Eagle Lake. The condominium's
of B�iarwood in Golden Valley sell for from $15,900 to 24,400.
The Innsbruck North Apa��ment� �11 rent for $149 to $208 a
month. A townhouse may be purchased for as little as $32,6Q0
and a single family detached house may be purchased in the range
of $50,000 to $80,000." Mr: Scott asked if what Mr. Farr had
read pertained to what had been developed, or if it included what
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 23
was being proposed in this plat, and would what was in the_: -
same townhouse association be considered as one Planned Unit
Development. �
Mr. Boardman said that the Planned Unit Development was
all of Innsbruck that Mr. Farr developed. The preliminary
planned development that was apprraved by the City included
the single family area, the townhouse are�, and the apartment
area. This has been c�ns_f�ncted in phases, but it was all
one planned development. He said he didn't think you could
judge this by just one part of this development.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning
Commission recommend to Coancil approval of a townhouse development
of I00 units, T-#76-02, bq Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation,
for Innsbruck North Townhouse IV and V Additions.
�- Mr. Berman said that he felt that in the context of the
total plan, that there was a very broad price range in this
development.
Mr. Scott said that when he looked at the total development
he saw pockets of this group living here, and another group living
there, each group being of a certain income range. He said that
in his opinion this was stereotyped planning, and he could see
this developing the same as one group on one side of the tracks
and another group on the other side of the tracks. He said he
would like to see a broader range of housing for a larger range
of income groups. Mr. Farr said that this development covered
60 acres, and he thought that in those 60 acres this development
did meet that criteria, and this was a fully integrated community.
He said that in the same article he had read from before, it
cites Innsbruck North as a fully integrated development as to
styles of housing, and price range.
Mrs. Sporre said she felt this whole development offered
a variety of life styles. She said that people who bought into
a townhouse development were buying into an exclusion area, and
did so because they wanted to be in a private area. She thought
this fit into the housing plan, because it did meet the needs
of people who wanted a different life style, and Fridley should
be proud that they can offer such a development.
OPON a voice vote, Bergman, Harris and Peterson voting aye, Gabel
abstaining, and Scott voEing nay, the motion carried.

5. CONTINUED: CONSIDERATION OF A TOWNHOUSE
100 UNITS. T-#76-02, BY DARREL A. FARR
MOTION by Peterson, seconded bg Bergman, that the Planning
Commission reopen the Public Xearing on�the consideration of a
preliminary Plat, P.S. #76-02, Innsbruck Village, by Darrel A.
Farr DeveSopment Corporation_ Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Chairman Harris declared the Public Hearing open at 11:45 P.M.
Mr. Boardman said it was proposed to construct 25 4 unit
townhouses on this plat. He said the preliminary approval
for this phase of the Innsbruck development was for a 251 unit
apartment complex to be constructed in this area, so instead
of having 251 units in this area, there will be 100 units. There
are HUD monies involved in the development so West Bavarian Road
will be a public street with a 50' right of way which will be
a connecting street between Arthur Street and North Irinsbruck
Drive. The spur roads in the development will be private streets,
and this will have a separate Townhouse Association.
Chairman Harris said this was the plat where there were
structures too close to the the street, and where they had
requested a blanket variance. Mr. Boardman said the City Attorney
has said that any variances needed were subject to approval with
the approval of the townhouse development, and whether the Planning
Commission agrees with his interpretation that this didn't have
to be heard by the Appeals Commission was up to them. He said
that :now�ere in the townhouse ordinance does it mention setback
requirements. Mr. Harris said this property was zoned R-3, and
he felt they had to meet the R-3 requirements on a public street.
Mr. Boardman said that under the townhouse ordinance reguirements,
that this was the only time in our ordinances that there had to
be both a plat approval and a plan approval. Mr. Boardman said
he felt that this was the basis of the City Attorney's ruling.
(Mr. Boardman and Mrs. Gabel both thought there had been
requests for variances in other townhouse developments but a
search was made through all townhouse data, and there was no
record of any variances going through the Appeals Commission.)
Mrs. Sporre asked Mr. Boardman where this development did
not meet the R-3 requirements. Mr. Boardman said the only require-
ment they didn't meet was the setback from public right of way.
The area requirements are met, the open space requirements are
met. He said the City Attorney has interpreted the townhouse
ordinance that any area requirements, open space requirements,
and setback requirements be part of the approval of the townhouse
development, and this included any variances needed.
Mrs. Sporre asked what variances they were being asked to
approve in this townhouse plan? Mr. Boardman said it was the
35' setback from public right of way. They were asking for a
blanket variance from 35' to 0' for the garage of some of the
units. He said there was 7' from the curb to the property line.
Mr: Boardman said the garage doors would not face the street.
Planning Commiss�on Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 25
Mr. Peterson said that if he remembered correctly, the reason
for the placement of the units as was presented was because
of the topagraphy. Mr.�Boardman said there was a high ridge
that pushed these units claser to the street.
Mr. Scott said that as part of the A-95 review process
the Human Resources Commission was to conduct a hearing on this
application. Rather than have another public hearing, the minutes
of this meeting will be part of that review. He said the A-95
review was a separate action.
Mr. Farr said they had a model of the development, which
he thought would answer a lot of questions that wer�ermane to
this development. He said that if a greater setback was required,
it would have a diverse effect on this development.
Mr. Harris said that he wasn't even considering the pros and
cons of the variances. He was more concerned with the
procedure they were following to grant the groposed variance. He
felt they were circumventing the zoning code.
Mr. Bergman asked Mr. Farr to state the hardships involved
in this variance requsst. Mr. Farr said the hardship was the
cost consideration, and whether that would be classified as
a hardship, he didn't know. We want to keep these particular town-
houges as 3ow priced as possible. We are looking for young married
couples. The size of the units vary between 800 to 900 square feet.
We would like to keep the price of these units in the mid $30,000.
To do this, one of the considerations was to provide F.H.A. fi-
nancing, because the amoritization was greater and the down payment
was less. In order to get F.H.A. financing, and because West
Bavarian Pass connects to two public streets, North Innsbruck
Drive and Arthur Street, they have required that this street be
a public street. He said those were the hardships that prevail.
He said that by making West Bavarian Pass a public street and
adhering to the 35' setback, the.deaelopYtent would not be viable.
He said we would have to go to Plan B, and not have th.is as
a public street, but go back to a private street, and this would
have to be financed conventionally, or do something else. By
making the street wider, as you can see by the model, we would
be destroying a substantial part of the site. We would be destroy-
ing trees, we would have to cha� the existing topography sub-
stantially. The units are designed to fit into a hill. They all
go up. We have tried to preserve publ�c areas.- The drive side
and garage side are public areas, and the pedestrian areas axe
private areas. He said that as they widened West Bavarian Pass
we had to push the units together, so that we could develop a
continuity of flow of the green areas. He said that instead of
having 300' to 400' between units, we have 100' or 7Q" less than
that. He said they thought about the setbacks a great deal when
they designed the units. He said that he felt that one of the
reasons for this setback was to allow stacking of cars in front
of a garage. All of the garages in this entire development eere
structured so that the cars drive into the side of the garage.
The side facing the street was a finished wall. There were no
qarage doors facing the street. Each drive way was an L shaped
_ __
Planning Commission Meeting - 3�tarch"T7, T976 Page 26
drive.- He said the only structures that would fall within the
normal setback line are the garages. The units themselves would
be 40' back from the property line, so he didn't think this would
cause any visual blight, because the garages were relatively small
structures when compared to the units themselves. He said these
were the basic reasons for asking for a variance, or whatever
it is.
Mr. R. M. Rumpsa, 1481 North Innsbruck Drive, said that
when the single homes were developed, they had to meet covenants
that were established by the Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation.
Now, when Mr. Farr wants to put in another development, it seems
that this has come around about 1S0°, because this development
doesn't even meet the setback requirements. He said that when
he bought his lot, he knew there was supposed to be an apartment
complex on this site, and he wasn` t so sure that that wouldn't
be still the best idea for this site. He said that by putting
homes in the $33,000 to $39,000 range, that he Eelt that in 10
years, this would be a hell hole.
Mrs. Sporre asked Mr. Farr if he knew of any other Y.eGrnhouse
development where the garages were set so close to the street. Mr.
Farr said that in most townhouse developments the garages were
quite close to the street. Mrs. Sporre asked about public streets.
Mr, Farr said that the only townhouse development that he knew of
that had all public streets was in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Mr. Harris asked how wide West Bavarian Pass was going to
be. Mr. Boardman said there was a 50' right of way, and the
street would be 31'. Mr. Aarris said he didn't think they
should be allowed to have a 31' street because all the other
residential streets in Fridley were 36'. Mr. Boardman said the
F.A.A. requirement was a 30` street, and that there were just as
many 31' residential streets in Fridley as 36' wide streets.
Mr. Harris said that he felt that any curved street should be a
minimum of 36'. He said he lived on Riverview Terrace which was
a 36' curved street, so he knew the problems.
Mr. Scott said he understood that the townhouses in this
plat would be a separate Townhouse Association. Mr. Farr said
that was correct. Mr. Scott said he could see problems in the
maintenance of this area, because people in this price range of
homes wouldn't be able to maintain the area.
Mr. Bergman said he wouldn't be able to vote in favor of
this development because of the setback problems. He said he
knew we were talking about setback problems versus nature, existing
terrain, savinq trees, etc. He said he knew everyone was in
favor of saving trees, but they also wanted to see a reasonable
amount of the setback requirements met. He said that with this
street being 31' and the location of the garages, that he would
feel like he was driving down an alley, which he felt was not
the intent of having a publio street. He said a variance request
from 35' to 0' does not recognize the setback requirement at all.
Mr. Peterson said he felt very uncomfortable because the
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 27
Appeals Commission didn't debate this issue at their last meeting.
He asked Mrs. Gabel why this wasn't done. Mrs. Gabel said that
when this came to the Appeals Commission they were told the City
Attorney's interpretation, and we were told we did not have to
act on the variance request.
Mr. Bergman said he didn't think they should get all hung
up on procedure. If someone says we oan approve or disapprove
the plan, he would be willing to do that, considering the setback
as part of the plan. Mrs. Gabel said she couldn't agree with
Mr. Farr that a garage placed 7 feet from the street wouldn't be
a visual blight, and she also felt that this would be a traffic
hazard.
Mr. Boardman said that a11 the garages weren't at the 0'
setback. He said that instead of going through the variance
procedure on every garage, they just asked for a blanket variance.
He said that in most cases the garages were setback at least 5'
from the property line, and in other cases, it was a greater
distance than that,: but the actual request was for a blanket
variance.
Mr. Harris asked if there was going to be concrete curb
and gutter on the public street of West Bavarian Pass. Mr.
Boardman said there would be. Mr. Harris said the street would
be built to City specification of 4" base and 2 1/2° mat. Mr.
Boardman said it would. Mr. Harris asked if on-street parking
would be allowed on �bis street. Mr. Boardman said it would be
allowed. Mr. Harris said that assuming that a driving lane was
8', which would be tight, because normally they were 12', and
with traffic in both directions, that would be 16', which would
leave 15' for parking. Mr. Boardman said there will be two
parking spaces provided for each unit.
Mr. Berqman said that in the entire North Innsbruck area,
this site has b�en chosen for townhouses for people of lower
income families, and it seemed to him that lower income people
didn't get setbacks and did get narsow streets.
Mr. Scott asked if there was a difference in the tax structure
for a detached and attached garage. Mr. Boardman said he couldn't
answer that question. (Note: City Assessing office said that
there was no difference in the trax structure.)
Mr. Earr said that he thought this townhouse development
incorporated as many good planning features as he had ever seen
in a plan. He again quoted from the Metropolitan Council report.
" The Respect for Topography in�Shaping Development: �he housing
can be huilt around the natural land features, ecologically
important bodies of water, marsh, woodlands, steep slopes, can
remain in their natural state. In an area of gentle slopes,or terrace:
townhouses may be built to advantage. Narrow Curbed or Dead-end
�esidential Streets; Planned Unit Developments can be flexible
in their use of roadways unlike the conventional grid or�cu�ved -
Planninq Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 28
linear street patterns in traditional housing developments.
Residential privacy and safety mag be enhanced by streets that
are designed for minimum traffic and reduced speed. Narrow streets
cover less valuable land as well as inhibiting heavy high speed
traffic, as well as improve the appearance of the neighborhood."
Mr. Farr-said these units in this development were not closer
together than the units in other townhouse additions. The fact
that the setbacks were wrong because this was designed for lower
income people was not correct because the distance from garage
to garage tQ;street was closer in the other townhouse developments,
where we were talking in a price range of $45,000 to $60,OOQ. He
said that if the public street was goinq to be a problem, then he
guessed that they didn't need a public street.
Mr. Aarris said there were some things that went with a public
street that weren't requirements with a private street.
Mr. Peterson said this could eliminate some people from being
able to purchase a townhouse in this area, if this went to a
private street, because then this development wouldn't meet the
F.H.A. requirement. Mr. Farr said they felt that it would eliminate
F.A.A. financing.
Mr. Farr said he would like to read one more paraqraph from
the Metropolitan Council report. "Providing diversity of costs
within Planned Unit Developments was perhaps one of the more
important goals to be eventually met. Public attention should be
directed to devel.op flexible public programs tha�_��13 enable
a variety of housing types and costs to be �increased within Planned
Unit Developments. The Metropolitan Council will be watching the
housing trends in this respect and will continue to explore various
means by which the goal of increased diversity of housing costs �_
may be met in PUD's." Mr. Farr said he understood that the City
had ordinances, and that they had to live with them. He said that
he didn't believe in Metropolitan government, but he firmly
believed that Metropolitan government was making tremendous inroads
into local government, and this may be because of the inflexibility
of some of the local ordinances. He said this may be far afield
from what he was addressing here, but he said that ordinances were
made by people, and people can change them, and he believed there
should be more flexibility in 2oca1 government. He said that all
the considerations the Planning Commission had brought out were
valid. Someone who couldn't see around the corner, s�ow removaZ,
street repair, emergency vehicles access, they were all very
valid, and he appreciated all those concerns. He wasn't sure that
this project as it was designed, did not provide for all these
things.
Mrs. Sporre said just to point out that we didn't live in
the dark ages in Fridley, the Environmental Quality Commission
had as a goal to fos�tr and promote innovative designs and she
understood br. Farr's attempt to preserve the contours and retain
as much as you can of a beautiful site. Mrs. Sporre said that
she couldn't make a motion, but she would like to have this
Planning Commission Meeting - March.'17p 1976 Page 29
sent to the Environmental Quality Commission to review the benefits
of the plan_as far as environmental concerns, and it might help
in the final decision.
Mr. Scott said that he agreed with Mr. Farr as to local
government sometimes being inflexible. Ae said that he him�elf
was an advocate of this. He said that as far as PUD developments
he didn't feel that there was adequate basis to drawn conclusions
from. Ae said that if the Metropolitan Council and HUD thought
that they could sit in St. Paul and make these kind of decisions,
they wouldn't be sending it to a small Commission such as the
Human Resources Commission for part o£ the A-95 review. They
have asked us to review these proposals to see if they were
consistent with what the intention of the program was. He said
that both HUD and Metropolitan Council have said that you don't
concentrate low income people, because they have had disastrous
results. He said that he felt with only a$6,000 difference in
price range for these units, that there could be serious probiems.
Mr. Scott said that what they were looking at he didn't feel was
a PUD. Mr. Farr said that was just part o£ the development, and
the entire concept of Innsbruck was a PUD, even if that wasn't the
term applied to it.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Farr if it would be possible to widen
West Bavarian Pass to 36'? Mr. Farr said he didn't feel that
this was necessary. The regulations for F.H.A, only require a
30' street, but if the City felt it was necessary, it was probably
something that they could do. Mr. Harris said that curved streets
were a problem, and he felt that this street should be 36' wide.
Mr. Farr said that with the design of this development, a 36`
street might be to their advantage.
Mrs. Gabel asked how far back of the garaqes were the h4mes
located. Mr. Farr said it was about 30 feet. Mrs. Gabel asked
if they couldn't be moved back farther from the street? Mr. Farr
said it was pretty hard to tell from a piece of paper, but the
topography of the area makes it very difficult. He said that all
the trees were located on the slopes.
Chairman Harris asked everyone to look at the model, and
maybe someone could come up with an idea for this site. Mr.
Farr explained the topography and the placement o£ the units.
He said that some of the units were designed all on one level,
for what he called "empty nest" people, people who have raised
their families and were again alone, and wanted a smaller place
to take care of. Mr. Farr said he had put in more work on this
site, than any of the other sites he had developed. He said they
had been working on a plan for this site since August of 1975.
Mr. Scott said he didn't see anywhere on this development
where there was recreation provided for younq people. Mr. Farr
said this land was adjacent to the City park to the North and
there was a tot lot provided.to the East by the Black Forest
Apartment. He said they would be constructing two tennis courts
in the City Park, and there was a tot lot adjacent to this site
across North Innsbruck Drive. Mr. Scott said that small children
Planning Commission Meeting -�arch 17, 1976 Paqe 30
would not walk two blocks to a park. He said that as this site
was expected to be attractive to young people, he didn't feel
that there wer� adequate facilities for young people.
Mr. Bergman asked Mr. Farr if he would consider some of the
elements in this proposed plat. His particular concerns wera the
lack of setback and the street width, and parking, and he was
wondering if Mr. Farr was willinq to consider a compromise on
the setback requirement. Mr. Farr said that any movement of
the units would have an adverse effect on the wooded areas and
he wondered what type of compromise he had in mind. Mr. Berqman
said he would rather vary the setback from 35' to 20' rather
than the 0'.. He said this was his personal opinion, but due
to the hardships of the site, he felt this was a resonable
compromise. Mr. Berqman said the other alternative was for
Mr. Farr to request a recommendation on the plat as it has been
presented.
Mr. Farr said that he could not economically reduce the
density Ln this plat. He said he had a lot of money in this land.
He said it was zoned and planned for a 251 unit apartment building.
He said that he really didn't want to build a 251 unit. apartment
building and he was not saying that if they didn't approve this,
he was going to build a 251 unit apartment building. He said that
he felt this plan filled a needed gap in our housing mix in that
part of the world, and he honestly believed that this plan was
as well thought out as any plan he had�come across, and he was
sayinq that in all sincerity.
Mr. Rumpsa and another property owner from the single family
homes said they wonld rather see a 251 unit apartment on this
site.
MOTION by Scott, seconded bg Peterson, that the Planning
Commission c2ose the Pubiic Xearing on consideration of a pre-
liminary plat, P.S. #76-02, Innsbruck Vi2lage, by Darrel A, Farr
Development Corporation. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye,
Chairman Harris declared the Palhlic Heai�gg c2osed at 12:55 P.M.
MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Ga3�e1, that the Planning
Commission recommend to Council denial of the proposed piat, P.S.
#76-02, Innsbruck Vil2age, by Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation,
being a replat of Outlot B, Innsbruck North Addition, along with
Lot 49, Auditor's Subdivision No. 92, genera2ly Iocated North
of North Innsbruck Drive N.S. and West of the Black Forest Apart-
m'ent, primarilg because of the Zack of setback from the public
street.
Mrs. Sporre asked why they had made a motion for denial.
She felt it should have been tabled, and the problems resolved.
Mr. Bergman said that his personal view was that this�iaa5 the
pxoper,action at this time. Mrs. Sporre said that a motion for
denial closes the door. Mr. Scott said that it closed the door
on this plan. Mr. Boardman said no, it closes the door.for any
plan for six months. Mrs. Sporre said she thought this plan should
be studied in further depth. She said that the Environmental
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 31
Quality Commission hadn't even looked at this plan yet. She said
that M� Farr's claim.that they.had made an eloquent attempt to
save, preserve and utilize the site to its fullest potential,:Aad
she realized they had used the lowlands for the road, and have
classified high lands as better, and she had some problems with
that, but she felt that the Environmental Quality Commission could
work with Mr. Farr and develop this into the kind of a plan Mr.
Farr would like to have, and she would like to see him have the
opportunity. She said this plan was implementing one of the
goals of her Commission which was to use innovative designs to
utilize a site to its best potential.
Mrs. Gabel said she was not aware that a motion for denial
would mean that Mr. Farr could not come back with any plan for
this site for six months when she seconded the motion. She said
she would like to withdraw her second to the motion, because she
would like Mr. Farr to have the opportunity to present a better
pZan. Mr. Scott questioned whether the second could be withdrawn.
He said a motion to table would supercede the motion for denial
and he would make such a motion.
MOTION by Scott, seconded by Peterson, that the P1anning
Commission table the consideration of a preliminary p2at, P.S.

along with Lot 49, except the Westerlg 210 feet, Auditor'S
Subdivision No 9Z, generally Iocated North Of North Snnsbruck
Drive N.E, and West of the BZack Forest Apartment, because he
felt that Mr. Farr had a good plan, but there were problems that
had to be worked out, and this should be reviewed by any member
Commission who wished to review it, and it come back on the
PZanning Commission agenda as soon as possible_ Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried una»imously.
MOTION bg Peterson, seconded by Scott, that the Planning
Commission table the consideration of a townhouse deveZopment
of 200 Units, T-#76-02, bg Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation,
for Innsbr�ck Village, ❑ntil they reconsider the p1at. Upon a
voice vote, Bergman, Harris, Peterson, Gabel voting aye, Scott
nay, the motion carried-
Mr. Boardman said that due to the lateness of the hour, the
petitioner for the next request had left the meeting, but he had
agreed to the stipulations that Mr. Boardman would be needed on
this request, but because there were still people waiting in the
audience for the following item on the agenda, he asked if the
order of the agenda could be changed.
MOTION by Scott, seconded by Peterson, that the order of
the agenda be suspended, to accommoda�e the peapZe in fhe audience.
Upon a.voice vote, all voting aye, the agenda was amendea.
6. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP # 76-04,
BY HENNING NELSON CONSTRUCTION CQMPANY: To permit the
construction of a duplex and or a double bungalow, in an
R-1 District (single family dwe.11ing areas), per Fridley City
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 32
Code, Section 205.051, 3, D, to be located on Lots 13,
14, 15 and 16, Block 2, Riverwood Manor Addition, generally
located South oE 71st Way N.E. and West of East River
Road N.E.
No one was present to represent the petitioner.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Scott, that the Planning
Commission open the PubZic Hearing on a request for a Special
Use Permit, SP #76-04, by Henning Nelson Construction Company.
Upon a voice vote, all voting age, Chairman Harris declared
tfie PubZic Hearing open at I:OS A.M.
Mr. Boardman said that since this request had been made,
Lot 13 had been sold as a single family lot, and a building
permit had aZready been issued, so this request will just be
on Lots 14, 15 and 16.
He said that in 1974 ±his petitioner had appeared before
the Planning Commission and Council to rezone this property
to R-3, so they could build a 24 unit apartment complex on
this property. This request was denied by the Planning
Commission and Council. He said that this property was still
zoned R-1 and the petitioner was requesting a specia2 use
permit to allow double bungalows or duplexes to be constructed
on these lots.
Mr. Gerald Rossow, 6881 Washington Street N.E., said
that he had just recently purchased Lot 13, and his new
home was in the process of being built. He said that at the
time he purchased this lot from the Henning Nelson Company,
no mention was made that they were going to request a Special
Use Permit to build a double bungalow right next to his new
home, so he didn't feel that they had operated in good faith.
He said that if someone from the City staff hadn't called him
at 4;00 today (March 17th), he wouldn't have known anything
about this proposal. He said that he felt that the petitioner
hadn't made any effort to build single family homes on these
lots. He said he had negotiated with Henning Nelson a long
time before he would agree to sell him the lot. He said that
he had heard that other people were interested in these lots,
and they hadn't been able to purohase them either. Ae told the
Planning Cammission that these lots should be retained £or R-1
development.
Mrs. Kermit Bender, 146 71st Way N.E., asked if this request
was still valid when one of the lots had been sold. Mr. Harris
said a request can always be reduced, but nothing could be added
to it. Mrs. Bender said that no one from the Henning Nelson
Construction Company had appeared at this meeting, and this company
has done this before to this neighborhood at the time of the
rezoning. She said they have all sat at this meeting for six hours
and she thought the petitioner should have been here and presented
a plan. Mr. Harris said it was not spelled out in the ordinance
that he had to have a plan. He pnobably wouldn't want to draw
up any plans unless he knew the special use had been granted.
Planning Commission Meeting — March 17, 147'6 Page 33
Mr. Boardman said that Mrs. Bender seemed to be asking if
the Planning Commission could act on this request when the
petitioner hadn't come to the meeting. Chairman Harris said
they could. He said they would only be making a recommendation
to the City Council, and the petitioner could come to the City
Council meeting. He said that before he could vote affirmatively
on this request, he would want to see a plan.
William May, 184 71st Way N.E., said that these three lots
were the only empty lots in a completely residential area that
was across from the school. He said he felt that unless the
owner of a double bungalow Iived in one of the units, double
bungalows were not maintained. He said that 4 single family
homes had been sold in the last 4 months in this area, so single
family homes would sell in this area. He couldn't see double
bungalows on these three lots.
Mr. Gordon Sanqster, 7159 Riverview Terrace, said he just
wanted to stress that most people who live in this area felt
that.i was a single family area, and that building three double
MzngaYows or duplexes at the entrance into this area would be
an encroachment into this single family development. He felt
these lots should be developed as single family homes.
Mr. Roqer Claeqens, 7130 Riverview Terrace, said they were
the oldest residents in this particular neighborhood. He said
that he thought it was wrong for the Henning Nelson Construction
Company to make this request, and then not even have the courtesy
to let anyone know that they wouldn't appear at this meeting.
He said that proposal was about the same as rezoning, and if
it was approved, he thought it would destroy the concept of a
very nice neighborhood, or at ieast the entrance to a very nice
neighborhood.
Mr, Leonard Litzner, 180 71st Way N.E., said that if there
had been multiple dwellinqs in this area before he bought his
house, he would never have moved into this area. He said he
liked this neighborhood the way it was, and he thought these
double bungalows would lower the property values in this area.
Mr. W. J. Engelhardt, 7120 Riverview Terrace, said that
he was one of the developers of this property, and at the time
they came to the Planning Commission they were told that this
had to be developed as �n�R-1 project, and he felt it should be
left that way, He thought there should still be majority rule,
and all the property owners in this area wanted it to stay
R-1. Chairman Harris said that any property owner has the right
to petition for rezoning or a speciaZ use permit, and they have
the right to be heard.
Mr. Litzner asked what was going to happen because the
petitoner wasn't at this meeting. Were the neighbors supposed
to spend 5 or.6:hours at every Planning Commission meeting until
he appeared, or could they make a motion for approval or denial
on this request, or would they have to table it? Chairman Harris
said that if the Planning Co�nission wished to do so. they could
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1865 Page 34
act on this request at this meeting.
Mr. Rossow said he had met a lot o� nice new neighbors at
this meeting, but he did want to mention that his contractor
had been at this meetinq until 1:00 and then he had to leave.
He said his contractor had just picked up the building permit
for Mr. Rossow's home last Friday (March 12th7 and no one had
told the contractor about this request to construct double
bungalows next to his building site, so the contractor felt
that he had been put in an unfair position also.
Mr. Engelhardt said that he didn't think that Henning
Nelson should be able to keep making requests on this property
that was against how the majority felt in this neighborhood.
Mr. Harris said that if this request was denied, the petitioner
would have to wait six months before he could make any other
request for this property.
Mrs. Gabel said she was disappointed that the petitioner
did not appear at this meeting, because there were a couple
of questions she would have liked to have asked. She said that
she notice� in reviewing the minutes on the rezoning request,
that he had left the neighbors in the lurch like this before.
She said she could see their point when they come and sit at a
meeting for six hours, and then the petitioner didn't show up.
She felt this was rather inconsiderate.
Mr. Harris said that on page 84 and 85 of their agenda,
there were minutes of the rezoning request on this same property
from May 22, 1974, and it listed the reasons why the r.ezoning
request was denied.
Mr. Scott said the problem he had with this request was
because the petitioner was not here to develop his plan, but
he did see multiple dwellings as a means of intergratinq less
fortunate members of our society, and felt that you could build
a double bungalow in a neighborhood without destroying the
values of a neighborhood, as long as these were not m ncentrated
areas. He said he felt that a person had the riqht to do what
the law allows him to do with his own property, and he felt this
was a valid request. He said that we were going to have to
understand that there were people in this country who couldn't
afford the living standards that most of us enjoy. Somewhere along
the line, these people have got to be 'integrated into our society
and he thought multiple dwellings was a means of doing this as
long as this was done on a limited basis. He said that because
there was no plan p'resented at this meeting, he couldn't vote
for this request, but he thought this was a valid request.
Mr. Sangster said he appreciated Mr. Scott's comments, but
if he been at the rezoning hearings, he would have heard Mr.
Reinertson state that they had so much money invested in these
lots that they could not afford to develop them as R-1 property,
and so the reasons for building multiple dwellings on these lots
were not for helping to 'intergrate less fortunate people into
our society, but for monetary reasons only. Mr. Scott said he
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 35
didn't know if he could approve of having three double bungalows
together, but if the petitioner had come to the meeting, he might
have been in favor of a double bungalow on the first lot, i�' the
petitioner had come in with a plan that was aesthetically pleasing.
Mrs. Sporre said that on page 3 of the Planning Commission
minutes of April 17th, 1974, Mr. Reinertson stated "..a complex
of 12 to 16 units would be economically feasible to build, below
this number of units it would have to go to double bungalows and
this would not enhance the neighborhood". Mrs. Sporre said
that as the petitioner did not appear at this meeting, we have
his opinion on double bungalows from these minutes. She said
they had listened to a great number of people from this neighbor-
hood and their objections to this proposal. Mr. Jerry Rossow
was living proof that there was a market for these R-1 lots
for single family development, and if people were willing to
try as hard as he did, that it was possible to purchase these
lots.
Mr. Eberhardt said he had approached this company about
buying one lot, and was told that they wouldn't sell one lot.
Mrs. Bender said they have heard of this prope£ty owner's
right to petition for whatever he could lawfully do with his
property. She wondered what her rights were as a property owner
when what the property owner wanted to do was something that
she did not want next door to her, until Jerry Rossow's house
was finished. Mr. Scott said her right was to come to this
meeting and state her opinion�of this request. He said
the puxpose of holding a Public Hearing was so that everyone
could be heard, and after that to make a recommendation based
on the testimony at the hearing.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Scott, that the Planning
Commission close the Public Hearing on a reqvest for a Specia3
Use Permit, SP #76-04, by Henning Nelson Construction Company.
Upon a voice vote, a21 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the
PubZic Hearing c2osed at 1:40 P.M,
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by GabeZ, that the P2anning
Commission recommend to CounciZ denia2 of the request for a
Special Use Permit, SP #76-04, by Henning Nelson Construction
Company, to permit the constraction of a daplex and/or a double
bvngalow in an R=1 District (single family dwelling areas) per
Fridley City Code,Section 205.05 2, 3, D, to be located on Lots
Z3, 24, IS and 16, Block 2, Riverwood Manor Addition, genera22y
Iocated South of 71st Way N.E. and West of East River Road N.E.
for the fol2owing reasons:
1. This proposal was not compatible with neighborhood.
2. The absenee of the petitioner from this hearing.
3: Objection of adjacent property owners to proposal
4. Due to petitioner's own statement in the Planning
Planning Commission M�eting - March 17, 1976 Page 36
Minutes of April 17, I974, that doable bungalows
wou2d not enhance this neiqhborhood.
Upon a voice vote, aIZ voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.

the Public Hearing on a request for a Special
#76-03, bg Lynda2e Terminal Company. Upon a
voting aye, Chairman Harris opened the Pvblic
A.M.
Mr. Boardman said that Brad Steinman from Lyndale Terminal
Company and Roger Johnson, manager of Holiday Village North had
been at this meeting, but they had to leave due to the lateness
of the hour, but they did agree verbally before they left, to
all the stipulations that the administration thought should be
on this request. Mr. Boardman said that it was because of the
rezoning of this property, that the administration felt that the
garden center should be under a Special Use Permit as was required
in the City Code, even though this garden center has been in
existence for many years.
Mr. Boardman said that the administration would like to
see the following stipu�ations on this special use permit:
1. That this Special Use Permi� be granted for three
years at the present location for a garden center,
at which time, a decision �e made by Holiday as
to the permanent location would have to be made,
and then permanent landscaping and a permanent site
improvement for this garden center be done at that
time.
Mx�. Boardman said the reason for this stipulation was because
this garden center had been at this location for a number of years
and it would be an undue hardship to cancel out this operation at
this location, but during a certain time frame, because if Holiday
lost this operation, they would be losing between $20,000 to $60,000,
through operating time. xe said the petitioner has agreed that
this was a reasonable time in which to determine where the permanent
location should be. He said that at the present location, all
of the �n�tnres that were presently on the site would be torn
down, and there would be no outside storage on this site, other
than the garden center, as was presently being done. When the
garden season was over, there will be nothing on this site.
Mr. Peterson said that this should solve some of the problems
they had heard from the neighbors during the rezoning hearing.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1976 Page 37
Mr. Boardman said the landscaping that they agreed to with
the rezoning should all be done by this fall. Trees will replace
the low shrubs which tended to be a catch all for trash, so it
should be much easier to keep this parking lot clean.
Mrs. Gabel asked about the general housekeeping of this
site. She said she has seen it when it was really bad.
Mr. Boardman said he thought they were making a tremendous
effort with their housekeeping. He said that Bradley Steinman
had said at the rezoning hearing that any neighbor could call
him direct with any complaints they had on the housekeeping of
this site, and he thought the results were showing, and after
the landscaping plan was completed, it would be better.
Mr. Harris asked with the two special use permits in the
pa.rking lot, if there would still be enough parking stalls to
meet the Code requirements. Mr. Boardman said they would come
pretty close to meeting the code requirements, and it would be
hard to deny this special use permit, because the garden center
has been in operation for many years.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman to check and see ��at reguire-
ments had to be met to have a carnival operation in a parking
lot for a retail establishment. He said they had this at Holiday
and in the Holly Center, at certain times of the year.
MOTION by Scott, seconded by Peterson, that the P2anning
Commission c2ose the Public Nearing on the reqvest for a Special
Use Permit, SP #76-03, by Lyndale Termina2 Compang. Upon a voice
vote, aZ1 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the PubZic Hearing
closed at Z:55 A.M.
Mr. Scott asked for the sta€f recommendation.
Mr. Boardman said they recommended that the garden center
be allowed at.its present location for three years, with a
permanent site being decided at that time, with permanent landscaping
and permanent site impr�ve�ent being done at that time. You
could also add the stipulation that there be no outside storage
of material at this location except during the garden center season,
and that the present iocation be cleaned up. xe said these
stipulations had already been agreed to by the petitioner, but
it would be better to have them stated as stipulations.
Mr. Peterson said he had a personal bias on both sides on
this request.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Scott, that the Planning
Commission send that request for a Special Use Permit, SP #76-03,
by Lyndale Terminal Company, to a11ow the location of a garden
center in the Northeast corner of the parking lot of Holiday
V1IIage North, per Fridley Citg Code, Section 205.SOZ, 3, N,
Iocated on part of Lot 13, Auditor's Subdivision No. I55, the
same being 250 57th Avenue N.E. on to Council without a recommenda-
tion.
Planning Commission Meeting -. March �7. 1976 Page 38
MOTION by Scott, seconded by Gabe2, that the Planning
Commission was concerned with the freqaency of litter present
in the parking 2ot at Holiday Vil2age North.
Mr. Boardman said that one of the biggest problems on
this parking lot was the problem of paper litter. He said he
felt that Holiday Village had taken some steps to eliminate
this problem.
Upon a voice vote, on the amended motion, a11 voting age, the
motion carried unanimously.
Upon a voice vote on the motion, aIZ voting aye, the motion
carried unanimoasly.

Pubiic Hearing closed,
MOTION BY Peterson, seconded by Wahlberg, that the Planning
Commission reopen the public hearing on a request for a SpeciaZ
Use Permit, SP #76-02, by Plywood Minnesota, Inc. Upon a voice
vote, a11 votzng aye, Chairman Harris declared the Public Hearing
reopened at 7:95 P.M.
Mr. Charles Seeger, Wickes Fur�:.iture, and Mr. Euqene Hunt of
Plywood Minnesota were present.
Chairman Harris asked Mr. Boardman iE he had been able to
obtain the iniormation the Planning Commission had requested at
the last meeting.
Mr. Boardman said that a copy of a memo from Tom Colbert had
been distributed to the Planning Commission at this meeting.
MOTSON by Langenfeld, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning
Commission receive a memo from Ton Colbert, Assistant City Enginee ,
regarding traffic flow for East River Road and 53rd Way, dated
March 2, I976. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Charles Seeger said that in looking over this memo, he
would like to have this request tabled again to give him an oppor-
tunity to meet with the County to see just wnat they had in mind.
He said that as it stands at this time, a small sign on East River
Road saying that there was another exit, in addition to the 40 some
signs that were already there, he didn't feel would help either
Wickes and Plywood or the public. He thought something else would
have to be done. He said that in defense of what they were proposing,
when people get oi-f of the freeway, coming p.rimarily from the East,
and come down the clover leaf, they look over and see Wickes and
Plywood, when they are at the stop sign. He said some of them have
turned around and gone back up the ramp, and there have been lots
of accidents because of this. He said that if the existing sign
had met the height that was allowed in the City Code, it could be
seen more plainly and people would be aware o£ where they were
supposed to turn to get to Wickes and 2lywood. He said ta have a
directional sign further south where there were no structures he
thought would be twice as confusing for the people looking for an
entrance into these two commercial bu�inesses. He thought this �
should be researched further,
Chairman Iiarris asked Mr. Seeger if he understood why the
Planning Comi;�isszon Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 3
Planninq Commission was concerned about the traffic problems in the
� area.
Mr. Seeger said he did, but never the less, the problem still
remains as far as tYie industrial park. He said that at present, Wickes
and Plywood were the only two retail businesses in this parY. He said
that these were substantial businesses. To direct people to these
businesses you have to have something to direct them to the e�rtrance
to thesc. businesses. fae know ttiat the existing biliboard did not
meet the code, at least it was well lit, it was good looking and
didn't detract from anything. He said that what they wer.e proposiny
was to add P1yc:�ood Minneso�a's name to tl�is billboar.d and bringing
the sign up to tlie heig?it allowed in the Code. He said he had talked
to the Burlington Norther.n people and they were not i.nterested in
putting up any billboard desiqnating who was located in this indust-rial
park. He said that Wic;ces and PLywood ��rere willi.ng to reserve space
for any non-retai.I business that should located in this ir_nustrial
park, at theix expense. He said that if. the property was developed
where this siRn vaas located, they icnew that this sign would have to
come down, Uut Y�e thoug�t this billboard was an interim solution.
He said that if the Ylanriing Cor,�.mission couldn't go along with the
proposal as it had been presented, then he iaould like to have tim�
to do some further r�searcn.
Chairman Harris said that we know that we have a b�d situation
with traffic p�tterns in this area now, and witn further de�elopTen±
� of the industrial por.?c, it will get worse. The Plannziig Co;nnussion
felt that they would like to rnake evcry efiort to have a better
solution to that problem than jt�st tl�is billboard.
Mr. Seeger said that part of ti:e problem was the tra�fic frori
F.M.C. He said he c'.idn't t�hink they sizould be able to ti� up the
entire Rive1 Road when their work 1a; was over, fie thougnt the
people leaving tnis plant shonld leave in spox'ati.c intervals.
Mr. Boardman said he thought the County was thinkinq of sig*.s
designating a frentaqe road for 51st ar.d 53rd, and also using street
signing, as there �aasn't any in that a:�ea. Mr. Seeger said he di.dn't
think that woulcl help their sitL:ation, hecuuse there was no v'.sual
problem as to.se�iny wYiere WicY.es ar,3 Plywaod were lacated, ;nst on
how Y_o yet to the en'crance to thase busi-nesses. He said that whatecer.
the size caas of tne billboard, i.t should b_� larqe enough to catch the
eye of the people lookir.q for the entrance. Mr. Seeger said the key
to this probleiu would be now many p�:sinesses would qo into this
industrial park. that would be open to the public. He said the
two retail businesses draw 5,OQ0 cars a week, and tliat was a lot of
traffic.
Mr. Peterson said that when this industrial park was developed,
and even if there were 48 £actories built along with these two
� retail businesses, if we think we've got a problem with F.N.C. it
will be nothing to tlie problem we would have when all these people
left work. He said he was disappointed in the report from the Courety.
It looked like they �per.t all of 10 minutes on this problem.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that one si.gni£icant item was that they were
Planning Commissiqn Meeting - March 3; 1976 Page 4
talking about that in the future of closinq 53rd Avenue intersection
and have signalization at Slst Avenue. She thought that Mr. Seeger�
should certainly discuss this proposal with the County, because thi�
would have a great impact to the accessibility to the two retail
establishments.
Mr. Seeger said the signs that the County had put up for the
left turn had taken almost 9 months of discussion to qet. If lie
had to work out a proposal with the County he wondered if they
couldn't put up this billboard in the interim. Mr. Boardman said
this couldn't be handled that way.
Mr. Hunt said that Plywood Minnesota used to have their own
sign, but it bletia down. In attempting to replace it, they were
taqged, and so had come up with this proposal to share a sign with
Wickes and any other business that moved into this industrial park.
Mr. Seeger and Mr. Hunt were in aqreement that this request
could be continued until they could talk to the County. They said
they would lika this to be on the agenda for the next meeting.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Wahlberg, that the Planning
Commission coniinue until March Z7, 1976, the request for a Specia3
Use Permit, SP #76-02, by YZywood Minnesota, Inc.
Mr. Bergman said that he wanted the petitioner to notz that th �
replacing of the siqn was just a part of the problem. He thought
the petitioners agreed that the identification of this area and
the traffic problem was a bigger problem. Mr. Seeger said he was
most concerned about his own business. He said they want their
business recognized because they were the people who were generating
the traffic in the area. They were cailling to share this sign with
any new business that moved into this area. fie said he would try
to work out some type of joint agreement with the County. Mr. Boardman
said the City Engineering Department should be involved in this
agreenent also.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that the Planning Commission understood the
hardship that these two retail businesses had in directinq people
to the entrance, but they wanted the people to get to these businesses
in a saFe manner.

Planninq Commission Meeting _ r4arch 3, 1976 Page 5
�Mr. Darrel Farr and Mr. Jim London were present.
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Peterson, that the Plannzng
Commission open the Public Hearing on a proposed plat, P.S. �76-OI
Innsbruck North Townlzouse IV and V Additions, by Darrel A. Farr
Development Corporation. Upon a voice vote, a1I votiny aye, Ch�irman
liarris declared the Pub2ic Hearing open at 8:18 P.ld•
Mr. Boardman said that this request was for th� development of
100 townhouse units. These additions would be phase IV and V of the
total toom house development. These 100 units caould be part of the
present Townhouse Association area. He said that the previous plan
for this area had been to have 118 townhouses in this area. In the
new plan, the 100 townhouse units would be built in groups of two.
The road pattern that was developed on this plat would be basically
the same road pattern in previous developments. They would still
have the loop systems of West Bavarian Pass looping in and out of
T4eister Road and East Bavarian Pass going down to the quadrominiums.
This ties in very well with tkie previous proposal.
Mr. Darrel Farr said this replat v�as basically similar, if not
almost identica�.,�.o the plat that had been previous approved by the
City. Since the initial approval, which was three plus years aao,
we have decided that the land was not suited to as many units as
we had planned because after 5uburban Engineering fir.ished the
development qrading plan, the entire site was almost all cut and fil1.
ge said the ori_ainal proposal was that the townhouses would be built
iu 4 to 8 units as in the other phases. The reason they went to
2 unit development in this new plat was so they maintain a greater
differential from otie building to another so that hopefully they
could preserve and save a greater number of the trees.
Mr. Boardman said the City Naturalist had offered his s�rvices
to Darrel Farr as far as providing information and his knowledge
in preserving as many trees as possible.
Nlr. Boardman said the stipulations that had been agreed upon by
the City and the Darrel Farr Development Corporation were:
1.
2.
Provide Easement for public trail adjacent to neighborhood park.
The plan specifications for streets and utilities are to be
submitted to the City £or approval.
3. Off-street parking of 4.75 stalls per unit be provided on
those: units fronting on 24' street. 4 spaces shall be provided
erit'a each individual unit,' the additional spaces should be
provided in close proximity to the affected units.
� 4. Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation will provide recordable
legal documentation notifying purchaser that there will ]�e
no noise buffer provided from interstate traffic noice.
5. Trail development and trail lighting will be completed with
landscaping of adjacent units.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 6
6. Require standard per£ormance bond for exterior development
(paths, lighting, tennis court and tot lot) of 50$ of the
anticipated costs.
Mr. Boardman said there were two other stipulations to provide
a tennis court and tot lot on Association property, which had been
agreed to.
Mr. Harris said this would be a private road system as on
previous development of the townhouse area.
Mr. Peterson asked if there wasn't a prior agreement that two
tennis courts would be provided that would be for the use of the
public that wouldn't bs on Association property?
�
Mr. Eroadman said that on the next plat on the agenda, which
had previously been proposed to be used for a 251 unit apartment
building, there was an agreement that two tennis courts would be
built on City park property. This agreement will hold over in the
new plat. Mr. Boardman said the City surveyors would be going out
to check to see if ther� was enough room in the adjacent neighborhood
park for these two tennis courts. He said that if there wasn't room
for them there, they would be in close proximity, they would be
in Innsbruck North Park, which was just North of this development.
Mr. Peterson said it wasn't too long.ago that the Parks & Recreation
Commission had a delegation from Innsbruck North and at that time
these people were under the impression that these tennis courts sh�'d
have aiready been put in. Ae would be interested in havinq Mr.
Boardman give the timing of the construction of these courts.
Pdr. Boardman said these tennis courts have always been tied to
the development of Phase IV and V of the townhouses and the construction
of the 251 unit apartment building. Mr. Peterson said he didn't
think this had been pointed out to the people in Innsbruck; because
the Parks & Recreation Commission has had pressure for two years
about the construction of these tennis courts. This was the reason
for his question.
Mr. Bergman said all of Outlot H was zoned R-3. Was this any
infringement on the R-1 propertyY Mr. Boardman said it wasn't.
Mr. Bergman asked Mr. Boardman to explain to the audience what was
involved in the approval of a plat.
Mr. Boardman said the process started out as a preliminary plat.
The Public Hearing on a preliminary plat was before the Planning
Commission. At that time, they took a look at the grades, location of
structures, sewer and water services, and the type of facilities such
as tennis courts and tot lots, etc., and tried to tie everything
together in this area. He said the next step would be the final
plat, which would be considered at a public hearing by the City Council.
Mr. Boardman said that when the rezoning took place on this pr�rty
it was always considered as a townhouse development, but the R-3 zoning
allowed for a higher density. As the developer will be having less
units on this site than was originally proposed, the density will meet
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 7
the'R-1 density requirements.
� Mrs. Wahlberg 5aid that she realized that this area has been
planned for this type of development all along, but the thing she
was cancerned about was the traffic flow. She said that essentially
all these roads funnel out to North InnsbrucY. Drive. Th� traffic
from North Innsbruck Drive then goes West out on to Matterhorn or
West out onto Silver Lake Road. She said that what concerned her
the most was the amount of traffic that was already going to Silver
Lake Road. She said she realized this exit was in Nece Brighton, but
it still fit into the total pattern. She wondered if. anyone in New
Brighton had been contacted on this.
Mr. Jim London said that when they owned the land in Idew Brighton,
we had a plan to develop the land between the Fridlel� a::d New Brighton
line and Silver Lake Road. We had a plan that was approved by the
City to bring North Innsbruck Drive from the end o£ the concrete to
the New Brighton line, over to tie in with Palmer Drive. He said
that we do not own the land now and so have no control over the
development of that area. As far as he knew, there was stiil a plan
in Ne�a Brighton to make that connection some day when that land develeps.
It could happen soon, or it could be a few years from now. Right
now there was an easement tieing Silver Lake Road witn North innsbruck
Drive, and we have maintained that 24' blacktop street up to date.
Mrs. Wahlberg said she was sure that many people questioned the
� maintenance of that blacktop, and she agreed because she drove that
road considerably herself. She said it was used by other people
than just the people of Innsbruck. She felt this ceas a very vital
part of any development in this area, and should be considered. She
said that if this could be tied into Palmer Drive, it would ease
the traffic problem considerably.
Mr. Londor. said their plan with New Brighton about a year and a
half ago was that 27th Avenue, about a block West of Silver Lake
Road, would tie in with 14th, and go on do�an and cross North Innsbruck
Drive and would tie into the service drive down by the I'ord d2alership,
etc. There c,�ould not be a connection between North Innsbruc}: Drive
and Silver Lake Road as we know it toclay. It would either have gone
North to 14th or South to Palmer Drive.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that if that land has been sold to someone
else, then the access from North Innsbruck Drive to Silver Lake
Road would become more vital with additional development in this
area. She said this was a major problem now, particularly in the
winter time. She felt that if something wasn't done about this,
then all the traffic generated by these new developments would qo
into the Fridley street system and this was something that the City
should address itself to.
Mr. Bergman said that in the adniinistr.ative sta£f report it
� states that West Bavarian Pass and t4eister Road would be 30' streets
and all other roads in this preliminary plat would be 24'. Mr. Bergman
asked if a 36' width wasn't the standard width for City residential
streets. Mr. Boardman said it was, but these were private roads.
Mr. Boardman said there were a lot of 30' and 31' residential streets
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 8
in the City also.
Mr. Beraman said that if 36' wide streets were good for the �
City why wouldn't they be good for a krivate development. Mr.
Boardman said there would be a problem in widening these roads
because all the units would have to be moved back. He said the
only pro�lem with 24" streets was access for emergency vehicles,
but there were 4 off-street parking stalls £or each unit, so
there shouldn't be much parking on these streets. In addition
there will be one more stall provided for each 4 units.
Chairman Harris asked if they were allowing on-street parking
on the 24' streets? Mr. London said they weren't posted for 'no
parking'. Mr. Boardman said if the 24' street became a problem
Eor emergency vehicles, he thought the City would ask to have them
posted for no parking.
Mr. Harris asked the width of the riqht of way? Mr. Boatdman
said there was no right of way on private roads. Mr. Aarris asked
what would happen if at some point in time, the City would have
to take over these roads? Mr. IIoardman said the City has said that
they would never take these streets over because they do not meet
the City specifications. Mr. Harris asked who maintained these
streets? Mr. Boardman said the Association took care of them. Mr.
f�arris said that from the reaction of the audience, he would suspect
that there was a problem with this, but if there was a request for
the City to take over these streets, then the City would not do it.
Mr. Berqman said that if he remembered correctly from 3+ years �
ago, he thought there was discussion that these streets would meet
the City specifications, so that the City take-over of these streets
would be feasible,
Mr. Doug Van Arkel, 5563 East Bavarian Pass, President of the
Townhouse Association, said he would like to discuss problems that
the Board of Directors had noted with this development. He said
it had been discussed that this be developed in a harmonious and
°nvi'ornmentally sound manner, but the big problem was the roads. He
said they had two problems with the roads at present. One was a sYiort
term problem. The roads that were already constructed in the area
now were to be maintained by the Association. There would be no way
for construction vehicles to get back to the area under discussion,
to be deveioped without using the existing roads. We have no firm
commitment to the responsibility oE repairing roads damaged by this
heavy equipment other than a verbal agreement. We have experienced
along with the Darrel Farr Development Corporation, the developm�nt
problems of the last two years. The problems he has experienced, we
have experienced. If canstruction equipment should do excessive
damage to our existinq roads, cae do not feel that it should be the
responsibility of the Association to repair them. He said that if
the development did not go as nicely as everyone hoped it would, and
the developer didn't have money to pay for these repaiss, then thi
would be a serious problem for the Association. He said they were �
seekinq some assurance that these streets would be repaired. Mr. Van
Arkel said the long range problem with the roads was that he was not
under the impression that the roads met the City standards as far as
Planning Commission Meefinq - riarch 3, 1976 Page 9
the top coat. He said we have been living with the width of the
� streets, and he-supposed they would continue to live with it. We
question whether these roads were constructed to City specifications
as to surfacinq of residential streets. He said that as the Townhouse
Association was going to be responsible for maintaining the strects
in the new addition, and they wanted to make sure that what we have
to start with was maintainable. for the amount of traffic that thes�
streets were going t:o get.
Mr. Van Arkel said the other problem was just something oThich
he could just ask for cooperation from tihe Planning Cor,ir�i_ssion, and
that was the access to Silver Lake Road. He said that if it tcoY.
2, 3 or 5 years before the New Brighton property was developed, who
will maintain that road. He asked if the City of Fridley realized
that the Association would net take on the responsi.bi1ity of t.he
maintenance of that road, and it nay have to be blccked up. He said
that everyone in Inns�ruck would then have to use the Westerly route
in Fridley.
rlr. Van Arkel sain that another problem the Association was
experiencing w�s the parkiny facilities for the recre�tion ceiiter.
They are totally inadequ�te, and nothing has been done to ease this
problem. He said there was room for the par3cing of approximately
10 automobiles, and they widened b:eister Road as it approached the
recreation building. [de have asY,ed, but we have not received any
support from the develo�er, to have the parking facilities increased.
� Mrs. Wahlberg said that she believed that recreation center ha�
been used by outside persons. She said that she rem�mbcred that thcre
had been an Innsbruck Bo�ltique sale held in this building. Plr. Van
Arkel said that he hadr.'t been involved in that, but he believed they
had traffic monitors during that sale, to help ease the traffic flo:a.
Mr. Mike Swenson, 1496 North Innsbruck Drive, said that he had
talked to the mayor of New Brighton, and he had assured him that
New Brighton was not qoing to maintain the extention ot �orth Innsbruck
Drive to Silver Lake Road. He said that if everyone who lived in
the apartments, the townhouses, and the single family area had to
come West on North Innsbruck Drive, its going to look like Central
Avenue.
Mr. Aarris asked what kind of condition that extension aras in
at the present time. Mr. Swenson said that it was very bad. He
said that when there had been a snowfall, it was about 4` higher on
the sides than it was in the middle. It was like a big dishpan.
Mr. Harris asked how wide this extension was. Mr. 5wenson said it
was about 24'. Mr. Harris asked how wide it was plowed to. Mrs.
Wahlberg said she thought it was about 16', but it was an extremely
dangerous road for anyone to travel, with ice. She said that when
you meet someone on this road, you try to get as far to the right
�" as you can, but if you slide down, and it was very possible to 30
that, you collide. Sh� said the maintenance has not been good on
that road, and it was used extensively.
Chairman Harris asked who was responsible for the maiiitenance
of that road. Mr. Swenson said it was definitely not New Briqhton,
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 10
because it was a private road. Mr. Van Arkel said this private road
did not belong to the Association, so they would assume no responsibility
for the maintenance. �
Chairman Harris asked Mr. London if it was the developer's
responsibility to maintain this road? He said that road has to
belong to somebody. Mr. London said he didn't know if it was their
responsiblity. He said they had spent quite a bit of money on this
extension.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked who was plowing it? Mr. Jim Lukaszewski,
1536 South Oberlin Circle, said it was plowed by the company that
plowed the Association roads. What they do, was to make one pass
on thc road as they came into the Association roads, and make one
pass qoinq out. He said that last year, they had joined together
with the Black Forest Apartment and had some heavy equipment brought
in, and this was paid for jointly by the Association and the Black
Forest Apartment. Chairman Harris said we have a road that doesn't
belong to anybody.
Mr. Berqman said he had occasionally driven on this road, and
he was in general agreement with what had been said at this maeting.
He said that it was his opinion that whether we called this a private
road, and whether this was on private property or. on public property,
it was infact being operated as a City street, and as a through street.
It was a prime collector street, the only way to qet to Silver Lake
Road. He said he recol2ected quite clearly that 3+ years ago, it
was a responsibility of the Darrel A. Farr Corporation to provide t�
access area to �11ver Lake Road. He said this meant adequate width,
adequate surface and adequate maintenance, and safe transport.
Mr. Peterson said that there seems to be an agreement that the
City would never take over the maintenance of pri.vate roads. He
asked if the City had a special arrangement with Innsbruck North that
they don't pay the same taxes as the rest of us pay.
Mr. Steve Tollison, 5538 Meister Road, said that the large majority
of people who used the North Inr.sbruck Drive extension were Fridley
residents. He said that he caught a bus at this corner, and it was
a very dangerous place to have to walk to catch this bus also. He
said he had talked to the City Assessor and the City Attorney about
taxes. He asked if there was any difference in the tax base because
we maintain our own streets and some other things. He said the
answer was no, we had the same tax base as any other area in Fridley.,
Mr. Peterson said he thouqht we were on shaky ground on this tax
situation, and he would like an opinion from the City Attorney on this.
Chairman Harris asked Mr. Lonflon the specifications on the
private r.oads. Mr. London said they all had at least a 4" base with
a 2" mat. There were some that were built with a deep strength
asphalt, anticipating construction access to the South. He said this
would be West Bavarian Pass. He said he believed that street had
a 4 1/2" base with a 1 1/2" mat. Mr. Harris asked whV these stree�
were breakinq up. Mr. London said there were cracks where the
center line joi.ns and where the street joined the driveways. He said
there were a few alligatorspots, which you can expec� in that type of
Qlanning Commission Meeting _March 3, 1976
11
soi2, especially when you have deep sewer and water cuts. Iie said
� that generally he didn't see any more break ups in this area than he
saw on any City street in this type of soil.

L
Mr. R. G. Rumpsa, 1481 North Innsbruck Drive; Mz. Donald Pet�rson,
5595 Matterhorn; P�7r. Terry Wiley 5571 �ast Bavarian Pass N.E..;
and Mr. Ken Bureau, 5530 West Danube Road, all had comments on tne
North Innsbruck Drive extension, and the big preblem it was ior this
area.
Mr. Rumpsa said there has been discussion on closing this road,
but the Citp of Ne,r Brightcn needs that access for fire protection.
He also said that I�;orth InnsbrucY. Drive was a race track and he
thought there should be more stop signs on this street to sloti� trie
traffic down.
Mr. Langenfeld said it seemed to him that the people in Innsbruck
have asked the City many tir.i�s to nelp them with diiferent p��blei�is,
and he has never seen any reply to tltese concerns. It seems like ih•�,�
w�re totally ignored. He then asked tAr. Farr thut if he was going
to buy a townhouse, would there be any stipulations as to the maincenance
of roads, etc. What kind oi an agreement would there be? He sai3
that if he �aas going to bup a townhouse, he would �•�ant to know that
it was accessible° in the winter artd summer. Mr. Farr said that the
homeoGaners themselves administer the entire Association. He said
the Association ocaned the roads, and was responsible for snow plowinc,s
the maintenance of the roads, upkeep of the buildings and the
natural areas. He said they were responsible for all the private
roads ir. the area, witn the exception oi North Innsbruck Drive which
was a State Aid road. Mr. h,ike S�,renson said that �11 the homeowners
paid $43 a month to the Assocation for a variety of- services, so
it was the residents of the area who have assumed the burden of
maintenance.
Mr. Farr said that it was obvious that something was going to
have to be done with the extension of North Innsbruck Drive until
the area in New Brighton was developed, and North Innsbruck Drive
was extended to Palmer Road. Iie said that Fridlep wouldn`t o�ant
to maintain a road in New Brighton. I3e said that he wasn't developing
anything in this area, and he couldn't do it because he didn't have
any money, at this point in time. He said the homeowners in the area
weren't going to do it. He said he didn't know who was going to
develop this road, but he was willing to take on the burden of
upgradinq this road until such time that North Innsbruck Drive was
completed as a State Aid Road, but he couldn't do this until he
had some £unds to dp it with. Chairman I3arris asked Mr. Farr if he
had an agreement with New Brighton that they would designate this
section of North Innsbruck Drive as a State Aid Road. Mr. Farr said
they wouldn't do that until there was a development plan for the
area in New Brighton, and the street patterns were ��orked out for
that development.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that she had talked
Brighton Planning Commission and as far as
be any plans coming in for this area until
to someone from the New
they knew, there wouldn't
1977 or 1978.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 12
Mrs. Wahlberg asked Mr. Farr if he didn't own all the property
in New Brighton up to Silver Lake Road at the time this property wa�
rezoned. He said that he did, but subsequently the bank took the
property. Mrs. Wahlberg said that in the original agreement she
remembered that he was responsible for maintaininq this road up
to Silver Lake Road, Mr. London said that this property was now '
owned by the bank.
Mrs. Wahlberq �sked how much the townhouse units in this
proposed plat would sell for? Mr, Farr said they would range in
area from 1200 square feet to 2,240 square feet and would sell in
the range of $45,000 to_ $60,000. They would range from 2 bedrooms to
5 bedrooms. They will be compatible in design to the townhouses in
Phase I, II, and III.
Mr. Van Arkel asked if he could request the City Engineer to
take core samp2es of �ast IIavarian P.:.ss, West Bavarian Pass, and
Meister Road, so that once and for all, we would know what was there,
and the City would know what was there. Mr. Harris said the City
wouldn't do that on private roads. They would have to make their
own tests.
Mr. Harris asked how far the average unit set back from the
street. Mr. London said the minimum was 20'. Mr. Harris asked r4r.Van
Arkel if they had a problem with snow storage. Mr. Van Arkel said
there really wasn't any place to put the snow, so it was loaded into
trucks and piled in the ponding area. Mr. Dick Peterson, 5554 �
Wa�ideck Crossing,said that a longer setback wouldn`t make any
difference. They would still have the same nroblem. He said the
drivesaays were part of the street, and they were all plowed at the
same time. Mr. Harris asked if they had berms or curbs on the
streets. Mr. Peterson said they had fu11 curbs except where the
driveways were. Mr. Harris asked if the streets ware crowned, Mr.
Peterson said they were.
Mr. Harris told Mr. London that there had been some question on
the parking facilities for the recreation building. Were the present
parking stalls and the parking on Meister Road done as, proposed on the
original plan. Mr. London--said he didn't know if it was the original
pZan., but it was done according to an approved plan. He said he
would want to talk to the Boazd of Directors of the Association before
he made any recommendations for changing the parking in this area. He
said there were a lot of trees and a ponding area close to this recre-
ation building.
Mr. Rumpsa said that Mr. London has said that every effort would
be made to save as many trees as possible. He said it should be
noted that a change in grade can be very hard on oak trees; and with
the problem of oak wilt, a11 the healthy trees should be saved. He
said tYiat he had used tiling around his trees to save them, and he
thought more care shou3d be taken to save the trees. Mr. Harris s�
the City Naturalist would be working with the Darrel Farr Corporat
on this development, and it was hoped that this would save more of the
trees.
,,�..Q....
Planning Commission Meeting - c4arch 3, 1976 , Page 13
MOTION by WahIberg, seconded by Peterson, that the Pub1?c Nearing
� be clo5ed on the consideration of a pre2iminary p1at, P.S. �176-D.L, �y
Darrel �. Farr Developnent Corporation. Upon a voice vot.e, a2I voting
aye, Chairman Ftarris declared the Public Hearing closed at 9:40 P.M.
Mr. Bergman said he had listed some concerns that have been
mentioned by the people of P2ortl� Innsbruck, and by the members_of the
Planning Corunission. Concerns directed heavil.y towards the Darrel
Farr Corpor_ation, some questions directed to the City, and he felt
these concerns needed consideration before they could giv� any sort
of approval of the plat. He said he vrould like to hear some comments
from the other members of thc Planning Commission before he liste3
these concerns.
Mr. Langenfeld said he thonght the savinq of as many trees as
possible oaould be a concern. He said that it staLes in the administra-
t.ive report that quite a few trees would have to be removed.
Mr. Boardman said that in previous developments by Darrel Farr
they had saved as many trees as they could, and with the help of Dan
Huff; the naturalist, he cvas sure that they would save as many trees
as possible.
Mr. Peterson said he was coacerned about trees, but when we �.�e�e
discussing the preservation of trees on private property he thought this
was kind of shaky ground. Ae thaught the City should more legitimately
� be aoncerned with the streets and the traffic flow in t=his area_ He
said that as the Chairrnan of the Parks & Recreat�oii Coir�r«ssion, his
concern and that was when e�e had the people from Innsbruck North
appearing befo.re his Commission ak��ut tennis courts that should be
put in, he would like to see the time, the place, and the funding
for these tennis courts, instead of just a stipulation that at somn
future time they would be built.
Mr. Langenfeld said that he felt the extension road of North
Innsbruck Drive was a major headache, and he said he would like to
see some solution found for this access before someor.e caas killed.
He said that any subsequent deve].opment in this area would only
compound the problem.
Mrs. Wahlberg said she thought they should bear in mind that
the original proposal £or this part of Innsbruck had a much larger
amount of units, and that they had preliminary approval for that
many units at that time, Probably the key to this now was the
road situation. Traffic patterns which have developed in the first
three phases of the townhouse development had made her have grave
reservations about the traffic problems with the development of two
more townhouse areas that were being considered at this time. She
thought that even if these were private roads, the City had the
responsibility of stepping in on a main funnel street.
� Chairman Harris ask�d Mr. Boardman how this fit into the Compre-
hensive Plan? Mr. Boardman said it fit in very well. Mr. Harris
asked about the utili�ies? Mr. Boardman said they all have to meet
the City specifications. Mr. Harris asked who guaranteed the work.
Mr. London said they had the standard contract with the company that
_
Planning Commission Meetinq - March 3, 1976 Page 14
did the work, 1 year. He said the contractor used the City specifi-
cations for water and storm sewers and the sanitary sewer.
MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Peterson, �that the�Planning � �
Commission continue until March I7, 1976, the consideratzon of a
preliminary pIat, P.S. 1�76-01, Innsbruck North Townhouse IV and V
Rddition, by Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation, being a replat
of OutZot /i, Innsbruck North AddiCzon, generally 2ocated South of
Innsbruck North 4'owrzhouses, Phase I, II, and II7, until the following
concerns have been addressed:
The Darrel Farr Development Corporation apply attention to
questions asked at this meeting, such as;
1. Streets do not meet the City specifications.
2. Clarification of street maintenance, in particul�ax on the
Norch Innsbruck Dri.ve extension to Silver Lake Road.
3. Clarification of time period involved in tennis coarts & tot Iots
4. Need of assarance by the Association that streets used
during construction wiZl be repaired and maintained.
5. Re-evaluate the adequacy�of parking facilities for the
recreation center.
6. Review if there was a need to only allow off street parkinyi'
The City Rdministration should:
1. CZarify the City street speci.fications ai�d compare them to
the specifications in Innsbruck.
Z. Arovide a Iega3 opinion on the street maintenance versus
equa]. taxation question. �
3: Communicate with the City of New Brighton in regard to access
to Silver Lake Road as far as improvement and the State Aid
designation situation, and their plans on construction of an
al.ternate route.
r1r. Harris said a concern he had was if the access to Silver
Lake Road was cut off, what would be the alternate traffic pattern
for this area. He thought the City Engineering staff should address
this problem immediately.
Mr. London said that during their work with Neca Brighton, they
had a consultant do a traffic study, and he thought the City of
New Brighton had a traffie study done also. IIe said that at that
. time they were considerinq alternate access�to Silver Lake Ro�d;- �
Whether it be 14, North Innsbruck Drive or Palmer Drive, it was
determined at that time that Palmer Drive was the best intersection.
It was also determined that there would be more than enough capacity
to handle all of the traffic from this area. At that time we were
��_
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1976 Paqe 15
� planning 850 units in the R-3 zoned property, and now this proposal
was down below 650 units. We were also proposing at that time, to
have over 350 units between Fridley and Silver LaYe Road, �ahich also
would have been funneled to this intersection. IIe said that when
the Palmer Drive intersection was completed, the traf£ic patterns
will work for this area.
�
Chairman Harri.s asked what we were qoing to do in the meantime?
He said that might not happen for 5 years in New Briahton. He said
he hoped that D1r. Farr would be successful with these two townkrouse
developments, hut without a good access to Sileer Lake Road, he
thought it would be one big problem.
Mr. Langenfeld said tiiis acccess �aas important from the safety
standpoint too and for access for fire protection and other emergency
vehicles.
Mrs. Wahlberq said that urhen the City eras checking on the
accessibility for this area perhaps the City could address itself
one more time to the speed problem on North Innsbruck Drive, and
see if any additional stop signs would help solve tne problem. She
said that travelinq West on North Innsbruck Drive that there should
be a warning sign as you come around the curve to the existing stop
sign, tihat there was a stop sign ahead. She said she had seen a lot
o£ people zip through this stop sign because they didn't know it was
there, particularly on the ice.
Upon a voice vote, a1S voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

OF 100 UNITS, T-#76-02
. FOR INNSBFUCX VILLAG
Mr. Darrel Farr, Mr. Jim London, and Mr. John Klick, architect
for the townhouse development in Innsbruck Village were present.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Wahlberg, that the Planning
•' Commission open the PubZic Hearing on the consideration of a preliminaiy
plat, P.S. It76-02, Innsbruck Village, by Darrel A. Farr Development
Corporation. Upon a voice vote, all votinq aye, Chairman Harris �
decZared the Pub2ic Itearing open at 10:02 P.M.
Planning Commission Meeting - Marah 3, 1976 Page 16
Mr. Boardman said this preliminary plat was for the constructio
of 100 townhouse units in what was the site location for a 251 unit�
apartment building. There will be a public street in this plat which
will be West Bavarian Pass. The spur roads off of the public street
will be private streets. There vrill be a separate townhouse association
for the townhouses in this plat.
Mr. Bergman asked for clarification of the public road as far
as City specifications. Mr. Boardman said this public road would
have a 50' right of way and the street would be 31' wide.
Mr. Boardman said there will be 25 structures, with 4 units to
a structure. They are 'for sale! property, they are not .rental
property.
Mr, Farr said they had a model built for this development which
they had at the meeting. They thought this would help explain this
deve2opment to the P2anning Commission and to the people in the
audience. It shows the topography of the plat and how the units wili
be located on the p1at, and how they relate to the street and each
other. Mr. Farr said the units were designed to have two rambler
type units in the front with full basements, with two units behind
that were either rambler units, with a storage area all on the same
level, or units with a walk-out basement. He said they managed to
keep the streets on one side of all units, so the streets don't go
on both sides as they would in a typical 4-unit building. He said •
a problem in most townhouse developments was that when you drive
down the street you see a row of garage doors. This was true in the
existing development. In this development, we brought all the
driveways in on the side of the garages so th.e� front will be the
facade instead of the garage doors. Mr. Klick said the units that
were faced to the qreen space would have attached garages which helped
alleviate the row of garages facing the front. He said the design
of the units provided for driveways and garage doors to be on the
lower part of the hill, and as the slope of the land decreases, the
units step up that slope, so there would be less cutting of the land,
and that was an aid to the retention of the tree cover.
Mrs. Wahlberq said that these were the units that you were asking
a blanket variance on. Mr. Klick explained which units would need
the variance.
Mr. Langenfeld asked why there wasn't a public road in other
townhouse developments. Mr. London said they have learned a iot
about townhouse development since they started, or else there probably
would have been a public road in the other developments. Mr. Farr
said he didn't think the City wanted a public road at that point in
time.
Mr. R. G. Rumpsa said he was concerned about the price range
� of these townhouses, Sbme of the single family homes were in the �
$150,000 bracket and he didn't think that moderately priced townho s
were compatible with that type of home. He thought these townhouses
would de�ract from the property values of the single family homes.
Planning Commission Meeting - biarch 3, 1976 Page 17
.Mr. Farr said that before one single family lot was sold the
complete plan proposal was completed, and the people who bought
� those lots knew that this particular site was for a 251 un.it apar.tment
complex. Iie said this proposal has been changed to have only 1�0
units on this praperty, c�;hich would be owner occupicd townhouses. They
would be sma11 units, but they wer.e well designed and would be a qood
transi.tion from the B1ack Forest Apurtment complex. He said the price
range of the apar�ments in this complex was $150 to $210 a month. T17e
people who could afford to purchase a townhouse in the $32,000 to
$39,OOD range would be compatible to the people wi�o lived in this
apartment complex. He thougl7t people of all inco;��e ranges should be
able to live in Innsbruck ir they so desired, and that this townhouse
development was good socio-economic planning.
Mr. Rolarsd Stinski said that he had just purchased a lot on
Arthur Street for $14,���, and he was concerned about the elevat_ons
on this proposed plat, and what that would do to his 1ot. He �•:ondered
if' his lot �•�as qoing to become use�ess, or what.
Mr. London found Mr. Stinski's lot on Arthur Street and told
him how this plat with the structures would relate to his lot. Mr.
Stinshi asked when they planned to start construction of these
townhouses? Mr. Farr said he would like to star� as scon as he
had approval from the City.
Mr. Stinski asked if the City street had been approved? Mr.
� Boardm�n said that was all in the consideration of the plat. Mr.
Boardman said that he had been in contact with the i.H.A. and they
were goinq away from all private streets in a townhouse develop�:�ent
and were now looking £or public streets. We do have some private
streets in this plat, but F.H.A. was agreeable to �t.at.
.
Mr. Boardman said that D4r. Farr was reducing the density on
this plat so that it meets the R-1 requirements although this pr.operty
was zoned R-3 except for that part of Lot 49 that was included in
this plat, which was zoned R-1.
Mr. Stinski said that the single family development in I
was just starting to go gocd in this area, and he didn't thi.
City should jeapardize this development with somethiny that
detrimental to the area. He said he thought they should tai;
look at the amonnt of traffic that would be generated by more
in this area.
� bruck

Mr. Donald Peterson, 5555 Matterhorn Drive, said he was concerned
about the traffic flow, as others. He said that he didn't think any
one could argue with the planning of having townhouses as a transition
from the apartment complex to the single family homes. He said he
did question the difference in grade for the townhouse units, which
was up to 20' in some places. He said the type of construction would
limit the design of these townhouses, than if they were on a flatter
piece of ground. He said that on the other plat discussed aL- this
meeting, the townhouses were more expensive, and they were beinq built
in units of 2 to lessen the need for cut and fill. This area was
just asheavily wooded, and yet these townhouses were being built i.n
units of A, and he didn't understand the logic of that.
� _.
Planning Commission Meetinq - March 3, 1976 Page 18
' Mr. Peterson said he also questioned why two of these units
would only be about 10' from the property line.
Mr. Farr said he couldn't respond to this without getting quite�
upset. He said he didn't feel that the people living in the single
family homes in Innsbruck had any more right to live in Innsbruck
than the people who will live in this area, as he had said before.
Mr. rarr said that Mr. Stinski was ane of the largest landlords in
the D4etropolitan area, and he didn't feel that the testimony he had
given at this meeting did him credit.
Mr. John KLick said he would like to respond to some of the
comments made on the proposed units for this development. He said
these units were designed expressly for a difference in grade of
10 to 15 feet. He said they would not work on a flat piece of land.
They were units that were one story on one side and two story unit
on the upper side of the slope, givinq 6oth units the availability
of a walk-out type of situation. He said that it was not a crue
statement that units couldn't be designed for this type of slope
situation.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman if this followed the comprehensive
plan. Mr. Boardman said it did.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that she noticed that most of the single family
development was North of Ncrth Innsbruck Drive N.E. She asked
Mr. Farr ii he had ever considered having tne more expensive townho�e�
on this p1at, and the smaller townhouses on the other plat?
Mr. Farr said they hadn't. He said there were more single family
lots South of North Innsbruck Drive than there were North of North
Innsbruck Drive.
Mr. Rumpsa said the lake separated the single family homes from
the townhouse area South of North Innsbruck Drive. It was a natural
barrier.
Mr. Rumpsa asked about the homes started in the single family
area South of North Innsbruck Drive, that have never been completed,
and how many unsold townhouses there were. He asked if these were
just going to be 2eft standing, and if both these plats would be
started at the same tirne, with the same results.
Mr. Farr said that he didn`t own the R-1 lots and had nothing to
do with tha construction pf homes on these lots. He said that he
only had two unsold townhouses in the developed area. When he had
approval of these two new plats, he planned to start construction
immediately. He would like to start this construction this spring,
and both plats would be constructed at the same time.
Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Farr if he had any kind of report on
what response he would have as to the occupancy of the new units. •
Mr. Farr said he hadn't had a formal feasibility study made, but
they have 60 to 70 couples a week going through the model, if that
was any indication of the interest in townhouses.

Mr. Boardman said the preapplication For a Community Aevelopment
Block Grant that was in the ager.da was the revised preapplication
that was'requested by the Planning Commission at their meeting of
February 18, 1976. He said that he had handed them a copy of the
Metro Council A-95 review of this preapplication. This review was
on the revised preapplication that the Planning Commission now had.
Mr. Boardman said they had dropped the proposals for obtaining
� the proper�y North oi City Iiall for a Civic Center and for the
acquisition of 10 lots in the Riverview Heights arca. He said he
had talked to John Kari from the hietropolitan Council who said that
Fridley had a much hetter chance for funding without these two
proposals also. He said that all the funding requests now pertained
to the housing plan.
Planning Commis�ion Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 20
Mr. Boardman said he had also been in touch with Marcia �
IIennett from the Metropolitan Council and sh.� said that rridley
was now ranked sixth for funding consideration and she thought
Fridley had a good chance of gettinq this fundinq. He said the
funding request was for $50,000.
Mr. Peterson asked why the Riverview Heights proposal had
been dropped. Mr. Boardman said that it dzdn't fit in too we11
with the housing plan, but that after a Parks & Recreation Compre-
hensive Plan and a Critical Area Plan had been developed, they
could probably apply Por funding at that time.

7. CONTINUED:
IN THE MAT7'E
TIiAT THE MIS
�
NOTICE OF
�[i)�I
OF PUBLIC HEARING
METROPOLIT�N COUNCIL
GNATED BY THE GOVERN
LeeFu7n Sporre of the Environmental Quality Commission was present.
Mr. Boardman said there was a Public Hearing in June on the •
development of Critical Areas, at which time the City did make
their recommendations. He said the recommendations on changes
would be going to Public Hearing again on March 11, and they
want all comments on the recommendations by March 31.
Mr. Boardman said the reason this was brought back to the
Environmental Quality Commission and the Planning Commission was
just for the review to see if there caere any other recommendations
that you mi.ght want to make.
Mr. Boardman said that one of the recommendations made by the
Environmental Quality ComFnission was that if Highway #169 and East
River Road was not included in the critical area, then it should be,
because these were used for access into the critical area. They
were also concerned with the effect that East River Road would have
on critical areas, because of traffic noise, etc.
Mr. Langenfeld said the recommendations made by the Environmental
Quality Commission were on page 4 and 5 of their minutes of
February 17, 1976. He said that this became an item of concern
because of the schools and school children alonq the River also. He
said they felt this should be more people minded.
Mr. Peterson said there had bcen some discussion at a Parks &�
Recreation Commission meeting about a proposal by Anoka County to
upgrade the river and provide accessiblity to the River in Fridley
as a central location for this access for a boarding facility.
Mr. Boardman said that when a river was designated as a critical
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1R76 Page 21
area, there were certain rules and regulations set up for the
� protection of that river. iie said that the critical area corridor
in Fridley w�s designated to be from Highway #169 to Bast River Road.
When they establish an area a5 a critical area, they lay out ceitain
rules and regul.ations as to land use and the land reguirements along
that river corridor.. This Critical Area Act saas for the protection
o£ our natural resources. He said that if the �ississippi River
was goi.ng to be used for boating or canoeing, there would have to
be some dr.edging becaus� it gets pretty shallow in a couple of areas.
Mr. Peterson asked idr. Boardman if he had seen the plan fr_om ti:e
County where the bikecaays, trailways, etc. were all tied together,
because there was somethina in this plan about boat access to the
Mississippi River. P4r. Boaraman said he hadn't seen anything from
the County at all. He said he hadn't seen anything dovrn on paper,
and thought it caas just at the talY.ing stage at this time.
Mr. Harris ask�d how t.h� critical area corrider wou�d af'`ect
the existing development in tha* area. Mr. Boardman said it erould:i't
have any effect in Fridley �vhatsoever. He said that if they used
the bluff linc, then it could affect some property, buL thcy �•rere
using the river bank. xe said the height requirement o;ouldn`t apply,
but the 40' setback from the river Uank would apply, and there weren`t
any houses under tha* minimum requirement.
Mr. Harris asked what caas considered the river bank? Mr. Boarciman
• said it was the normal high water line.
Mr. Boardman said he didn't anticipate too many prculems with
the designation of a critical area corridor, but the Environmental
Quality Commissi.on had brought out some things that he hadn't thouaht
of before. One of their questions was that ii this was designated
as a critical area, what effect would the noise from East River Road
have on that recreational area and the actual preserva�ion of that
river.
Mr. Boardman said the critical area designation didn't deal wi.tlz
the use of the river, but the use of the property along the banks.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked if motorized traffic was allowed pn the
River.and_what if someone wanted to construct a restaurant on the river.
Mr. Harris said he,couldn't think of any site in Fridley N. of 694
where a restaurant could be located.
Mr. Boardman said that I.694 was the breaking point of two
classifications in the critical area designation. North of I.694
it was classified as residential, and South of I.694, it was
classified as an area of industrial development and different rules
� . and regulations applied.
Lee�nn. Sporre said that this item had been discussed at the
� Environmental Quality Commission, and they had done some research
for this meetinq, and it was her understanding the Staff would have
a report ready for this meeting.
Planninq Commission Pdeeting — March 3, 1976 Page 22
Mr. Boardman said he wasn't thinking in terms of preparing a
report of the �nvironm�ntral Quality Commission's recommendations.
was thinking of the Planning Commission reviewing the recommendatio�
of the EQC, and with the Planning Commission recommendations, prepare
a drait copy that would be presente� to the City Council.
Mr. Langenf.eld said the recommendations made by the Environmental
Quality Commission were on things that they wanted changed
in the desiqnation of the Mississippi River Corridor.
Mrs. Sporre said �hat she was an environmentalist, and she was
concerned about the conditions in rridley and of quality water, but
was also concerned about the effect on people. She didn't think the
plan addresses the effect on people and their ability to enjoy tlie
river as much as a beaver does. She said that people have a tolerance
level and studies have proved that noise pollution does affect a
person's ab;.lity to learn and to appreciate.. She said that if all
of East River Road and all of Highway #169 was included in the river
corridor, all these�things would have to be addressed.
A1r. Boardman said that the �nvironmental Quality Commisssion did
make the recommendation that these roads be included in the Mississippi
River Corridor, and the effect that the noise would have on people
who lived within the critical areas. He sazd he wasn't entirely sure
that the reason the critical areas were set up was for the people who
were living on the banks o£ the river. The critical areas legislation
was for the protectioti o£ the river, from the land uses along the �
river banks.
Chairman Harris said that it seemed to him that this was written
up "thing" oriented instead of people oriented. We aren't worried
about the people, we were worried about a"thing", a siver. He
said this did not address the people using the river or it's banks.
Mrs. Sporre said that if we didn't say that we needed that river, no
one else was going to say it.
Mr. Boar�man said that East River Road was included in the
critical areas designation because of the noise problem, why should
we iimit it to just this road and Highway �169, strictZy within the
critical areas, because this did not deal with the legislation of
the Critical Areas Act. It also doesn't deal with what effect motor
boats on the river would have on the land uses either. It also does
not deal with uses outside of the critical areas having an effect on
what was happeninq within the boundaries of the criticaZ area.
MOTION by Lang'anfe2d, seconded by Bergman for discvssion, that Mr.
Spardman zncZud� a21 the recommendations made by the Environmental
Quality Commission showing their position in his final report, with
emphasis on the dead2ine date. � .
Mr. Boa�dman said your position was shown in your minutes, and �
these minutes would be going to the City Council along with the
Planning Commission recommendation. Mr. Boardman said he was looking
for direction. Did the Planning Commission support the Environmental
Commission that a draft should be drawn up supporting the position of
the EQC?
Planninq Commission Meeting - M�rch 3, 1976 Page 23
.Mr. Bergman said that on this people versus thing discussion,
he felt this was an ecology item, and it was the same thing as save
� the trees, save the forest, and save the river. tie saifl that he felt
the ul.timate benefit of all these things wera the q�ne�al public, so
this can be related back to people.

Mr. Boardmaii said that if '•�ast River Road was included in the
critical arcas designation, then the legislation would have to
direct its attention to �ahat that noise saas doing to the people.Tnis
noise was frcm a source that had nothi.ng to do with the ri.ver_ This
was why he questi.oned that East Ricer Road and Highway {#169 should
be included in the critical areas corridor.

was proposirig. Do they v*an� to move the highway? �Vhat was the
alternative. b1r. Boar�man said the intent of the EQC cvas that the
npise and eLiect on tl.e people fron East River Road should be included
in the critical areas corridar. Bir. Harris said it dia have a;1 eifecc
on the river, because of the stcr� water that drains o£f of it, because
of the chemicals used on it, it dees have an effect on the v�ater
quality of the river. All you have to do was look at an outlet going
into the river to see what was going into 2t.
• Mr. Yeterson said h° shared h:r. Boardman's concerns. He sa=d he
was in favor of protecting the river, whether they were talking about
a scenic river designation as they in other parts of the State, or
a critical areas designation, that they were discussing £or Fridley.
He said he thought tl.��� could ma;ce the designated critical area so
broad that it c,�ould take it out of the scope of the legislature. fIe
said that he didn`t see how they could change East River Road, when
this road was part of other comr.iunities. He said that if we caere
going to be worried about the noise on East River Road, then we had
to worry about the noise on University Avcnue and Central Avc-nue. He
said that all this noise impacts upon the people, but he didn't think
this was what the Planning Commission should be addressing. Ae said
that they were considering the Mississippi River from point A to point
B and whether it should be designaced as a critical area. He said he
felt that when you were protecting a river, you were protecting the
people. He said 'ne supported Mr. Boardman's position because he
didn't feel it was germane to include all these areas in the designation.
�
Mrs. Sporre said that if Highway #169 and East River Road were
included in the designation, it would not change the world, but it would
give us the opportunity to say that Fridley recognizes the river �u
be a recreational outlet, being a very senSitive area and needing
very careful control, and that the entrance door was the River Road.
She felt that all the citizens of Fridley would benefit from this
statement of concern.
Chairman Harris asked Mr. Boardman what the difference was in
the Critical Areas Act and the Department of NaturaL Resources
Shoreline Regulations? Mr. Boardman said as far as he knew there
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 24
hadn't been a decision, but this would be controlled by one or the
other, it couldn't be both. He thought that the Missisippi River
would be under the Critical Areas Act, and the lake and other publi�
bodies of water in the community would be under Shoreland Management.
Mr. Boardman said that he felt that by including East River Road
in the Critical Areas, they would be short chanying the problem.
There �aere more problems with East River Road than what could be
handled in having this included in the Mississippi River Corridor.
He said that if it was so designated, what could happen would be
in direct conflict ��ith what the Environmental Commission wanted
ta happen. If this was part of the Critical Area, they could request
that the road be upgrad�d to provide more access to the River, and
request that this be more of a scenic route, so the traffic would
be increased, which would just add to the noise pollution.
Mrs. Sporre said the E�C made other r2commendaiions other than
having East River Road and Highway �169 included in the Mississippi
River Corri.dor.
Mr. Bergman thouqht the alternative to Mr. Langenfeld's motion
would be to go through the Environmental Quality Commission's
minutes and discuss each motion and decide if they agreed or disaareed.
Mr, Peterson said he w�sn't comfortable with the present motion,
because he didn't know what he was voting for.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that she thought the East River Road problem
would be better addr.essed by the proposed East River Road Planni_ng
Committee, as was proposed in the EQC minutes. She said this Commit e
could.work with other communities and other government levels, such
as the County Board. She said she had trouble equating the problems
of East River Road with river protection.
MR. LA�NGENPELD WITHDREGT HIS AfOT20N. Mr. Bergman, who had�seconded
the motion for discussion, aqreed.
Mr. Langenfeld said he would suggest a more thorough examination
of.these minutes, to see what proposals the Planning Commission agreed
to, to give Mr. Boardman the direction he requested.
Mr. Boardman said one of the points brought out by the F,QC was
on the silent clause. He said that what this clause said was that
if the Metropolitan Council hadn't responded to a plan in a certain
amount of time, it was automatically adopted. He said that if the
City submitted a plan to the Metropolitan Council, he thought that
should be subject to review, and not just let it go throuqh without
a review. There should be an extension of the time limit, and he
thought they should be responsible to reply within that time limit.
Ae said that when a plan was presented to the Metropolitan Council
we were asking their revzew of this plan, and he didn't think they
should have the out of not reviewing it, and just letting it go through.
Mr. Bergman said that he thought the Planning Commission shoul�
take the proposals from the EQC minutes and vote on them item by item.
Chairman liarris agreed.

the discussion on th� signs. They wete in disayreement with the
words "may be". He asked idr. Boardman what word could be used
for a substitute. Mr. Bergnan said there was no motion made on
this question. Mr. Boardman said the di5cussion came up when they
were discussing signs along the critical area corridor, b�r. Harris
said i:hat tlie pr.esent sign ordinance in Fridley would make it difficult
to put up billboards close to the river banks. Mr. Boardman said
that he thouaht the provisions made in the Critical Areas Act more
or less were controllec� within each communities local or dinances.
��
Mr. Boardman said this will go to the City Council for their
review, and they will have to determin� which direction they wanted
to take. After the Council's determination, the staff report will
be drawn up and sent in.
8. GENERl1L DTSCUSSION
Chairman Harris said that the Planning Commission was going to
have to make a determination and set a policy on 40' lots. He said
some of the member Commissions were considering this, and they should
be made aware that the Appeals Commission had tabled a request for
variances needed on a 40' lot, so this should be expedited. He said
from what he had been given to understand, there was no way we could
deny a building permit on a 40' lot, so we had better set some stan-
dards and criteria.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that this was the first request for building on
a 40' lot in Fridley. She said that the City Code states that the
Planning Commission Meeting - March 3, 1976 Page 26
minimum lot size was 50'.
Mr. Boardman said this item was on the agenda for the next meet�
of the member Commissions.
Mr, Peterson said there were 9 unnamed parcels of park property
in the City. He said there was supposed to be a memo prepared and
given to the Planning Commission asking for any suggestions they had
for names for these parcels, but evidently the Planning Commission
hadn't received that as yet. He asked the Commission's to be thinking
about names and if they had any suggestions to make, they were welcome
to submit them to the Parks & Recreation Conunission.
Chairman Harris said that Mr. Bergman and hi.anself had attended
a seminar on the Planning Commission in local government on the 25th
and 26th of February and had found it very beneficial. We will give
you a report on this seminar when the hour wasn't quite so late.

IV. DISCU.SSION ON TEEN CENTER PROPOSAL:
Mr. Mattson explained the Human Resources Commission organized
the Youth Project Committee made up of students from the high
school, and these students organized and conducted a survey
including questions regarding the teen center.
Mr. Mattson added a Truenfels boy conducted an additional
survey specifically on the teen center. He stated it was
the concensus of the Human Resources Commission that these
two groups be united in some way. Mr. Mattson also stated
the Hu�an Resources Commission, hased on the comments of the
YPC, was noC in complete concurrence with the proposal made
by the splinter group.
Mr. Schneider asked whether there were any particular points
which the Human Resources Commission was in disagreement �aith.
Mr. Dlattson stated the YPC was primarilq� in disagreement
with the appointment and also with the organization of the -�
board of directors which would run the teen center. Iie
stated there were other points of disagreement also including
the facttiiat this proposal was not made with the concurrence �
of the original YPC.
MOTION by Dennis Schneider, seconded by William Forster,
to-receive the Fridley Youth Genter Proposal. Upon a voice �
vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
POINTS OF CONC�RN:
1. Space: Mr, Bergman stated the Truenfels boy had requested
the o1d Iibrary space for this teen center. He added there has
been input that a teen center located in the City Hall would
tnterfere with the normal workino atmosphere by causing much
noise.
2. Time: Mr. Schneider stated he felt the Community Develop-
ment Commiss3on should not take action on this plan iL there
is another plan pending from the YPC. However, if the YPC
doesn't come up with something for a long period of time,
some action should be taken on this document. �
3. Cost: Mr.`Lindblad stated he had the feeling this was just
another c�*ozd for "civic center". He fel.t one could not count
on 'bolunteer" help to pay for the cost of these things.
Mr. Oquist stated maintenance costs also have to be considered.
4, Accessibility: Mr, Oqui,st stated the City Hall is not all �
that accessibla to every residettt of k'ridley as is stated in
the proposal, He added he felt only youth who live within
aalking distance would attend this teen center.

he would question

he wondered how
Mr. Mattson stated he had suggested the YPC organize a
"town meeting" to be held in the old library space to get
input from the youth and really determine whetl�er this space
would actually be put to good use.
MOTION by Dennis Schneider, seconded by Hubert Lindblad,
that the Community Development Commission communicate with
the Human Resources Commission to see if the CDC can obtain
a tentative schedule of the YPC's plan and table any action
on this request until the CDC hears from the HRC regarding the
questions raised. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
V. DISCUSSION ON 40 FOOT LOTS:
Mr. Mattson stated a request to the Appeals Commission made
on February 10 precipitated the discussion on 40 foot lots.
He stated a request was made to build on a lot which was 40
feet in width. He stated the motion was made at the Appeals
Commission to table this request until the opinion of other
commissions could be heard.
Mr. Oquist asked what the owner wanted to build on this 40 foot
lot, Mr. Mattson stated they wanted to build a small house.
Mr, Forster stated it was his opinion that houses built on
lots of this size would not fit in well with the rest of the
neighborhood. He added problems could arise with the garage, etc.
Mr. Mattson stated the proposal made in this case was feasible
and quite reasonable. However, the Appeals Commission felt it
should be discussed at length since it was the first one
requested, He added no 40 foot lots have as yet been built on.
Mr. Schneider asked how many single 40 foot lots exist.
Mr. Mattson answered quite a number of them.
Mr. Schneider suggested changing the building requirements such
that if we do allow any building on 40 foot lots, it is only
in those cases that it is impossible to bring that up to the
50 foot 1eve1,
Mr. Lindblad stated he did not think building should be ,
� allowed on single 40 foot lots. Ae added building a house
without a garage was a gross misdemeanor�

Mr. Schneider stated he agreed in principle with Mr. Lindblad.
Howevet, he did feel a lot which was tax-forfeit would be
more beneficial to the City if it was built on.
Mr. Ber�man stated this particular request called for 6
variances from the code.
Mr. Forster stated resale has to be considered. This could
be a real problem when trying to sell a home on a lot of
this size.
MOTION by LeRoy Oquist, seconded by Dennis Schneider, that the
Community Development Commission recommend to Planning Commission
allowance of the building on 40 foot lots under certa�n condi-
tions:
1. If the land is available ott either side
purchased such that the lot can be brouQht u

VI. DISCUSSION ON BUSIiVESS LICENSES WITHOUT PUBLIC HF,ARINGS:
Mr. Oquist referred Lo a massagc parlor which was granted a
business license in his neighborhood. He felt this was a big
problem. He added he felt nobody should be granted a business
license without a public hearing being conducted in order to give
neighbors a chance to voice their views on this. He also
stated traffic and parking was a proUlem with this type of
operation. Ae stated he would like to propose an ordinance
change which would state a person could not be granted a
business license without a puUlic hearing. •

Cblumgia Heights. Mr. Bergman stated this was a discretionary
judgement decision on the parC of the Columbia Heights admin-
istration.
Mr. Schneider questioned the grounds £or denial providing
a public hearing even was held. Mr. Oquist stated possibly
neighborhood approval.
MOTZON bv LeRoy Oquist to recommend to Planning Commission
that the ordinance be revised to require a public hearing

"Second Accessory Buildings" until the next CDC meeting. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
VIII. DISCUSSION ON SIGN CODE:
Mr. Bezgman stated the Planning Commission felt something
should be done with the sign ordinance on the Community
Development Commission level.
Mx. Oquist stated either staff or the Appeals Commission should
outline the problems so that the Community Development Commission
could make the necessary adjustments. He staCed those people
are the only ones who could tell the CDC what the problems
are so that the problems aren't repeated.
Mr. MaCtson stated the CDC is being asked to approach the
enCire situation and look at signs as they exist in the com-
munity, in other words, become more aware.
MOTION by Dennis Schne3der; seconded by LeRoy Oquist, that
the members of the Community Development Commission receive
� copies of the existing sign ordinance and other pertinent mat-
erial from the City and review them and prepare a list of

R.N. Sobiech, Public tiYorks Director
Tom Colbert, Assistant City Engineer
March 2, 1476
SUBJECT: Gomments on Traf£ic Flow for East River Road
and 53rd Way
Per your request, contact was made with Anoka County regarding
the signing rec{uest be£ore the Planning Commzssi.on by Plywood
Minnesota, Inc,
If a directional sign were approved on East River Road, it
should be placed at.the most southerly entrance to the Indusx-
rial Park (51st Avenue). It could not contain the name of any
businesses a,�d would most probably be a°PFrontage Road" directional
type sign sized according to the specifications in the Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
The County:,also stated that it would be beneficial ta start
directing traffic to this common intersection at the southern
end. As t2�is Industrial Park continues its development, it is
feasible and probable that future traffic demands will require
the removal of the 53rd Avenue intersection and signalization of
Slst Avenue.
To place the directional sign at the intersection of 53rd Avenue
is not recommended by the County. for the added reason that this
intersection is already restricted in turning movements during
certain periods of the day. �

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
ON PRELTMINARY PLAT AND T04JTdN0USE PLAN FOR
� INNSE3RUCK NDRTH 70W��HOUSE IV & V ADDITION
General Description
The preliminary plat and townhouse plan for Innsbruck North Townhouse
IV and V Addition is for the construction �� 100 townhouse units grouped
in two unit clusters. There a m 46 units in the IV Addition with a total
density of 5.1 units per acre, and 5A units in the U Addition with a total
density of 6 units per acre. The units have two basic plan layouts that
can range from 1 to 5 bedrooms, depending on the desired use of the owner.
The units are well designed units that fit the design scheme of the area.
The road and utility system wi11 be developed as a private system
under the ownership of the existing Townhouse Association. West Bavarian
Pass and Meister Road will be 30' roads and all others in the two additions
will be 20.'. Each unit will have 4 parking spaces (two inside and two
outside}.
There will be one tennis court and one tot lot provided on Association
property for use of all 5 townhouse plats. There will also 6e i�terconnecting
trails with lighting provided �•lithin both additions so as to provide easier
access to a common recreatio� building.
• En�cineerin
We don't foresee any Engineering problems with these addition at this
time. The utilities will require further review for correct size and
placement. There is oniy one road section which would have excessive
grades (approximately 10%) however, it still will most likely meet requirements
and alternative means of access and egress are avai1able.
Environmental
There will be a considerable amount of tree removai, ho�aever, they will
be removing only those trees necessary for construction and will leave as
natural an area as possible. They have shown this concern in the previous
three townhouse additions.
Stiaulations:
1. Easement for public trail adjacent to neighborhood park.
2. Plan specifications for streets and utilities are to be submittedl
to the City for approval.
3. Off-street parking of 4.j� stalls per unit be provided on those
, units fronting the 24' streets. 4 spaces shall be provided t�ith
each iridi6idual unit, the additional spaces should be provided in
aclose proximity to the affected units.
4. Darrel A. Farr Developme�t Corporation will provide recordable legal
documentation notifying purchaser that there will be no noise buffer
Innsbruck Narth Townhouse IV & V Additions

� provided from interstate traffic noise.
5. Trail development and trail lighting will be completed with
landscaping of adjacent units.
6. One tennis court will be provided on Association property and
will be completed by
7. One tot lot will be provided on Association property in Innsbruck
North Tewnhouse TV & V Additions, and will be completed by

ADMINISTRFtTIVE STAFF REPORT
ON PRELIMINARY PLAT AND TOWNHOUSE PLAN
FOR INNSBRUCK VILLAGE
General Description
r
The preliminary plat and townhouse plan for Innsbruck Village is for
the construction of 100 units grouped in 4 unit clusters. The units are
well designed units that fit into the design scheme of the area.
West Bavarian Pass will be a public street with private spurs off of
it to serve cluster units. Each unit is provided with 2 stalls (1 garage
and 1 outside space.)
These units will be smaller and provide a lower range value of purchase
units.
Engineering
We don't foresee an3 engineering problems with this plan. However,
all utilities will require further reviev� for correct size and placement.
The standard residential road section if 36' for pubiic residential road.
There may be need for some size adjustment for the proposed West Bavarian
Pass.
. Environmental:
There will be a considerable amount of tree removal, however, they will
be removing only those trees necessary for construction and will leave
as natural an area as possible. They have shown this concern in the previous
three townhouse additions.
Stipulations
1. Plan specifications for streets and utilities are to be submitted to
the City for approval.
2. Additional dedication of property to the City adjacent to the
Innsbruck North Park is desirable to the City and Darrel Farr.
3. Two tennis courts will be built by the developer on public park
property (location has not yet 6een determinedj.
4. Deed to the City, Innsbruck North Park, before any plat approval or
building permits are issued.
5. Road design on West Bavarian Pass must meet City approval.

Mr. Reineitson said he had talked to various people from F1
City liall tryi_ny to 9et ideas ior this propert-y and irom thcse
talks his company had come up with this concept. Iie said ther.c
• are problems in' thi.s ama i�: t-hat Past River P,oad is heavily
travelcd and, especi.al].y the corner lot, caas not conducive to
R-1 developrnent. 11� said �•ri.l-h i:hi.s concept i:he z story ��ould
be Uelo;a gradc so thc to��mhouse type units would blend inL-o thc
neighborhoad and t:�ould ma):e a nice eni:rance into tlie area. T11e
ent-rances and exits to this development would be on 71sL- Way.
Mr. Iteiner.tson said tlle dracainqs bcing gr.esented ��tere just
guidelines on lior< i.his tc�mhoi:se type comj�les could be dcveloped
and he �•:as open to suygesCi_ons from the neiqhLors or the Flann.ing
Commi: si.on, and wauld �.�elco;'�ie thcse suggestions. I1e 5a�-d there _
taouJ.d Ue a buffer on the 4•lcst side of Lhe development of about
96 feet from the adj��cmit liome.
Mr. C].u;-Y. asl:cd P?r. :teinertson . if any member of the City
staff had recommencied that this prop��%ty be rezo�zed. P7r. Reineri�son
said he had just taJ.ked ovcr som� o` the possibilities of develo�ing
tllis prop�rty, and Gfter these discussions, his company had come
up with this concept.
Mr. ClarY, as]:ed if thel> intenr'.ed these units to be owner
occupied or if tr�ey would be rental units. P`ir. Reinertson said
they could be bot�h, P1r. Clark said the ordiriance on tocenhouses
requires 5 acres ior oemer occupied units. As this property is
anly i.4 acres, they would hav� to be rental units.
• Mr. Harris asked ii they owr.ed other property in this area.
D4r. P.eine: ison suid they haci o�aned 3 other lots but they had sold
1 lot and buiit hvm:>s on th� other t�ao lots. The Iast house they
bu;lt they had to r.ent for two years before it i•ras sold.
1�ir. Dri_gans asked r5r. C1ark if this area was in the comprehensive
plan. I�Sr. Cla�;c said this par.t of East River Road was not a specific
study area of the plaii.
Mr. Leo Bender, 1�'6 71st Way N.13., said he had a neti�ion
si<m ed l�y the r.esidants of the area, stating that thcy supported
the cur.rent F2-1. zoni.ng on Lots 13, 19, 15, 1G, Block 2, Riverwood
A'ianor, a7d were o;:nosed to any rezoning for five reasons: (1)
hazardous to school cl:ilc:r.en, (2) additional noise of multiple d�aelli_ng
units, (3) cl�ange in the continui_ty of the neiqhborhocd, (A) destrucL-ion
of the enviro�mic�rt, and most impori=ant, (5) ii�vzsion of the indivicluals
right to zoninq protection. �

ASr. IIender said the pcople in this arca had bought their homes
,.�aith thc under.st�anding that the area would conL-inue to be zoncd 1:-1.
�� He sai.d our ioref�thcrs thought this was proper zor�ing for this area
and the present resS.dents didn't �•+ant any other 'LOI�lllCj.
Mr. Roger Claesgens, 7130 Rivervier� Terrace N.F., asY.ed �✓hat
the land space to building r��tio �aou]d be in thc pr.oposed deve]_opment.
Mr. 12einertson said thc land area �•�as G0,000 square feet and cach
individual un.it saoulcl bc G00 to 1,000 squarc ieet. It would '
be belo��r the density al].a:red.
Mr. Go'rdon 5anqster, 71f,9 Fivc1'vi�iv Terrace N.r., said he �•ras
hcre as a renresentatice oi the Friczley School Board, to statc that
the School T3oard saould be op��osed to any i.-e2on9.ng that t�:cu].d increase
den:;;.t1� S.n this aLea Gaithin the pr.o>:imity of t:he entrance to the
grade school. Tf such rezoning �aas finalized, School District i:19
�aould ta)ce forma7, action.
P7r. Reinertson said thc proposed tot�nhouse concept r�ould be
fuitlier back from tne entrance to the school than residential horres
would be.
i•ir. Claesgcns said he �aas the oldest resident of this area and
had moved in in 1950. I�is father-in-law had oemed the property
from where the school_ is located, approximately 3z acres, and the
area from Riverview Terrace to East River Road, just North of this
proy?osed de�=elopment. Behind this developmeni �_s the Gi.rl Scout
• prop�rty, which i.s open area, and the I��ort:h side of tl�e school
property has bcen left open also. Tdhile it is true that most of
ilie stuaents are bussed to Llle grade school, there are sixcy or

fio school. Although ther.e is a semaphore at this crossing, it still
.reaua.res a lot of care on East River l2oad not to int�rfere with the
� ch:i.ldren crossing this street. Having up to 24 rental units on
this proposed develop�7cnt would Renerate increased traffic at this
intcrsect.ion �ahere the c}?ildren cross. ile also didn't feel that
1 z to 2 story buildinqs �:ou1C: fit into a single family liousing area
and it �aouldn't be compatible wi�ti what is al.ready there.
Mr. P.einertson said these units �oould be mostly one bedroom
units and there would only Ue five 2 bedroom units, so �•re are
only Lalking abc�ut 30 to 35 additional �eople, very little more
than wh� t c•:ould be in four single family homes. Y.e sai.d tlier.c
wouldn't bc large iamilies in these units and a lot of the one
bedroom units �aould only have o�7e pers�n with one car. I3e said
it was not tiznusull for sitigle fami.ly homes to have taro and tl�rce
cars, so he didn't tliin): this develop�nent was generating that much
more traffic.

Mr. Steven Paavcrud, 70A5 �ast Ri.ver Road, said tha{; Mr.
12einertson made thc :;tatement that ihis development would enhance
the cormnunity and benefi.t the City. ]te said we feel like we are
a communi.t.y i.n this <irea anc3 our contention is that this �•rould be
• ch��nging our neighborhood to a transient socicty. This is noi� in
line with whaL �•�e fecl. for this area. R7e are a neighborhood and
we appreci.ate the area as it is. There ar.e more L-hinys Lo considcr.
iha�i �atlat can be don<. �•�ith thisparticular corner. This may involve
' Iess proiit for. thc land o��mer, bui: we fcel that Fridley abowids �ai�li
apartmcnts and �ae don't �,�ant any i.n our area.
tdr. Pnge].hardt said .that �:�her. this property was purchased,
the buyer ]:new it i�as zoned L-or single iamil_y homes only.
Chairman Fi_tzpatrick said any property owner has. the riglit to
request a zoniny change.
Mr. Rei_nertson said it �•;as Tliomas 3efferson wno said that eacil
generatioi� should r���n-ii�e their o�•m consiitution because �ahat �•;as
right in the past i.s not always applicable to us at the present time.
V�e �aant to kecp thi.s area a residantial area. 14e don't want it to
be commercial property. He ciidn'Y think people shoull look down on
transient people just because they live in a house and have more space.
Tlze cornplex they are proposing would be very nice and fit into t17e
n4inhborY:ood. It would not be lot rent liousinq.
Mr. Paaverud sain he didn't mean tc say tha� he look°d do�an on
transient people. IIe just felt that becaus� ihey �aere transient,
� they wouldn`t have the i_nteres� or ta}ce the care that a property
ov�ner would liave in this sam� area.
�
Mr. Reinertson said this proposed complex would pay more tates
than four residentialhomes, and could relieve some of th� tax burden
in this area.
Mr. Paaverud saic3 there sJ�ould be othe� alternatives other than
an apartment comnlex. PSr. Reinertson saicl they have been looking for
alternatives for six or seven ��ears.
ASr. Tim O'Neill, 1.58 71st [4ay N.�. , sa�.d these were gooc3 siz�
lots �uid he Lnought they could be sold ior }iomes.ites in the $40,000
or more class, if the ocaners ��.ould be satisfied to make a qoad proiii=
and noL- e�cessive profit.
Mr. Adas, 16II 71>t Way N.L•'., sai.d he couldn't offer any suggcstions
on the development of this property but on the pqint oi rezonin„ he
£elt we �aani- our conununity wel7. laid out- and for it L-o have co��tir.tiity.
lIe said th<�Y llenning Nclson liad buil.t ttis home and he ca�s sure they
tvould do a finc joU with tlii� proposeci devclopment, but it taould
cause problcros i�i the ncighborhood. liveryone wor.ked toqether and

Mr. Reinertson said he ].ived at Tvain Lakes and a few years
ago they had a proposal for. an apartment comp].ex in this area.
Many people in the area vlere opposed to this proposal 1>ut after
the apartment comple;: 4ras L)1ca;e, it di_d fi� into the area, and
the people whn ].ived in this complex contributed a lot to the
commw�it.y, and dicl not detract f�om the residential arca.., lle
continued that somc peop]_e are afr.aid of the unkno�an. lIe said
this development would 1>e done well and the neiyhborliood st�ndards
would Ue maintain�d. They i•�ere conce�-ned about this being compatible
with the neic�hborhooci and �ti�hat they were presenting should enhance
this area.
M.r. Drigans said one aspect of this development has not been
discussed, and tl7at �;-as the. financial as�ect of it. IIe said th�re
is one developmet�t in I'ridl.cy thaL- has been going on Lor about two
years because as ti�e different proposals were approved, they ran
into trouhle financinc7 thei.r. pr.oject, and he wan�ed to }cno�.a if there
etas iinancir.,t a-�ailable for this project, if it was app:'oved. Iie
said he didn't l;now. ii 1Lnciing institutions would lend money for a
$40,OOU to $50,000 ha::•,e oii the cornc�r oi East River Road either..
Iie asked what the value of the four loL-s were also.
rir. Clar)c. checked the iiles for the valuation of these lots
by the tlssessir,g D�partment, and Lots 13, 14 and 15 c•rere valued at
$650U and Lot 16 at $5�00. Mr. Reinextson said they have owned this
property for ma;zy years and naid a lot of special assessments on them
and were asked $£3,C00 io $12,OOC for these lots. He said ihey lzad a
good workin� arrange;i�ent �vitn their bank and didn't thinY ihc}� would
have any problem financing this development.
M�. Drigans
his preliminary
in a long �i�.ne.
said he wanted to compliment Mr. Reintertson on
plans. They caere the best that had been presented
Mrs. Tim O'Neill said she thouqht i'c was feasible for some one
to purc;��s� these lots and build a$90,000 to $60,000 lior,ie on ihese
lots. She �i�li, this company had inflated tlie price of these lots
because sh•� didn`t think they ?�ave any intention of selling them
as single famil�• home sites.
N,r. Leo Be;�der,� said that Mr. C1arY, stated that because of the
acreage oi this pi�operty, it could not be oc•m er occupied and would
have to be r.ental property. He asked rir. Reinertson if he had seen
{:}le article iil tiic Frid7.ey Sun about the occupancy iatinq of apar��rients
by City, a�;dLt�at Pii_dley h�s a hiqh percentage of vacancies. Mr.
Iteinerison saicl !�e h�cl nat, and �:�oUld be inter.ested in seeing it, buL
they have macle their own investigation and felt these units taould rent.
Mr. 1'aaverud said that <.t the prc ;ent timc o�;ner� of apari�ments
•were havi.tlq somcthinq of a bonanza because it was diificull: to
purchase ho�nes, but. he thought mo,t people desirc to o�,�n thcir proPcrty

Judith ASzy, 18�1 71�ti tti*<zy N.r., said this nroperL-y was purchased
irom her father, Iiowar.d Crabtrce, and it was sold as a single family
area. She thouqht is would be a breach of faith to buil�t ren4al
uni:ts in this area.
Mr. Reinertson said he ciidn't caant to fight �•rith anyone over
this ��ropos�l� but he <asked Ms. A1ay to check with her father. on
Lhe purcha:>e agreeme�it. �
P7rs. 0'tdeill said that �ohcr. they pu�-chased their lot fr��m
Henning A�elson, th�y had to qive i:hem assur.ance that they ��:o:�ld build
at least.a $35,000 11ome �o maintain the property values in tlie area,
and L-hey gave us their assurance that the ar_ea would have the same
value hornes on the area that was still vacant.
Mr. keinertson said this shov�ed that�they k�ere very concerned
aboui maini;aining the property values in this area and why this
development �aoulcti have such higli standards and be an asset to the
cosmnun i ty .
Mr. Claesgens said he didn't think i.t sho���ecl r.tuch business
acumen tc hold property £or ten years aa�d pay all the assessments
and taxes tl�at long, ur.til they had so much invested ir. the property
that it would take a proposal like this to pull them out economicall}r.
Mr. Reinertson said thcy didn't need this develoument to pull
them out oi anything. 797ey havc tried to sell this property ��rithout
success sc on an economiceil. basis, they felt this devclopn:ent k+ou'd
be a good use for this propert1�.
r1rs.Corrinc �ender said that �t*hen apartments are new, everything
5.s very nice, but a�t-er. five ycars they star_t going down hi11, and
over a period of time, thcy detract from the area.
2�3r. liarris asked DSL . Clark if a notice had been sent. to Anoka
County. There's a'jog in �asL River Road, Sout-h oi this property,
and �aondered iL the County had any plans for toidening the road by

Mr. 22arris s�id tl�are miglzt also be considcration of a wide�- radiu�

Mr. and Mr3. IIorstad uere present.
Mr. Clark ey:rSai..e� thae Hr, Do,stad requested rezoning to R-3 about a
month ago. At that tiae tt:e discusszon was to divide into residential lots
with a street r�enning thtough the center. The Plaaning Cowmission and �eople
thought double bunga2ows on East River Ro�,d would be acceptable with single
family residences or. the renaining property. The next proble� was ti_e stze�t,
Some day there will be a median pue d�,an East River Ro2d and the interior
streets will not have access to Bast River Road excepting to go South. The
tYaffic signal would be at 79th Avenue and Osborne Foad and would take caze o:
[ke Ieft turns going Notth. Ae had talked to Mr. Lundheim recently who sai3
he does not Sike the plat but will ccntinue to r*ork on the design. They
probably would have to get additional ri�ht of way on the West side. N.r.
Lundheim asked about getting additional easements along East River Road for slope
or sidewalk. The houses on the West side are loca[ed close to East Rivez Road.
The strvctures on the East side are set back pretty far. He asked to be given
opportunity to give 3t more study.
Mr. Clark said the lots abutYing East River Road meet the minimum abea
requirements for R-2. The nzatermair. is en the F.ast side of East Rivei Raa3,
The �ewer would be open cu�', and the sLorm seurer is in to Tal�nadge no�r. Refer-
riag „ta TaZmad�e Lane, if rh� buildiaU:, ao threugh, Talmadge Lane would be
sur��ced. There is e�augh rigfia'. uY eaa�, Osborne Road is 50 ieet wide 4rith a
66 fcw t right of caay.
k4r. Clark suggested Mr. Dorstad falk to l.r. Greemrood ezcplaitring that it
�;ould be to the City`s a3var.tage and Mr. Greenwood's 3f he would incYuu� tds
