RQLL CALL:
Members Present: Shea, Bergman, Harris, Peterson, Wahlberg, Langenfeld
Members Absent: None
Others Present: Jerrold Boardman, City Planner
APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES: APRIL 7, 1976
MOTION bg Peterson, seconded by Iangenfeld, that the Planning Cormnis-
sion approve the minutes of the April 7, Z976 meeting as written. Upon a
voice vote, a1I votin9 aye, the motion carried unanirneusSy.
RECEIVE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES: APRIL 1, 1976'
MOTION by Shea, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning Commission
receive the minutes of the Human Resources Commission meeting of Apri2 1,
1976. Opon a voice vote, all voting aye, the m�tion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Shea called attention to the recorrmendation from the Youth Project
Cortmittee on the Teen Center proposal and to the motion made by the Human
Resources Comnission which was to approve the resolution of the Youth Pro-
ject Committee and ask the City through the Planning Commission to bring
the Youth Center under the auspices of the Parks and Recreation Department.
Mrs. Shea said she wasn't sure how this should be handled. She said she
didn't know if this should go to the City Council 6efore it went to the
Parks & Recreation Department. Mr. Peterson said the Parks & Recreation
Comnission would like to review this proposal before it went to the Councii.
Mr. Peterson asked what the thinking was behind this recommendation.
Mrs. Shea said the Youth Project Committee felt that they would like the
teen center to be under the Parks & Recreation Department, and they would
like them to be the administrators. She said that the Numan Resources
Commission felt that this co�nittee had done all they could do. She said
they had the backing of the City Manager to either have the use of the room
in the Parks & Recreation Department or the room formerly occupied by the
library. Mr. Peterson asked if they were talking in terms of a program
or of a physical facility. Mrs. Shea said it was both.
Mr. Sergman said that this proposal has been under discussion by the
Community Development Comnission and the majority of the members stated
that they wanted to review the proposed youth center.
Mr:..Langenfeld said the Environmental Quality Commission was interested
in this proposal also, and they would like to review it.
MOTZON by Bergman, seconded by Peterson, that the recomm�ndations and
progn3m which resulted from the combined efforts of the Human Resoarces
Commission and the Youth Project Committae for a teen centex, be referred
to the Parks & Recreation Commission, the Community Development Commission
Planning Commission Meetinq - April Z1 1976 Paqe 2_
and the Environmental Qua2ity Commission. Upon a voice vote, al2 voting
aye, the motion carried unanimovsly.
Mr. Keith Larson, Vice Chairman of the Youth Project Committee said
they would have a representative from this Committee at all these meetings.
Mr. Boardman said that in the Youth Project Comroittee's proposal
they mention that a temporary youth center be estabiished in the Civic
Center. How tempor,ary would this be? Mr. Larson said it referred to the
way that all the youth centers we have screened and examined in our proposal
have started, which was on a temporary basis. Either a City organization,
or the Poiice Department, or a special interest group started such a center,
and then with the develbpment of interest of people, usually one group would
take it over. Mr. Larson said the location of the teen center wou]d be
permanent. He said that as the development of interest developed in the
Center, they would be looking for people from the Police Department, peaple
from the Junior and Senior High Schools, members of the Planning Commission
and Numan Resources Commission, as volunteers to help with this Center. If
they had help fram all these organizatic;s, it would help decrease the staff
they would need from the Parks & Recreation Department. They would hope to
�ventually be a self-propelled type of a center with volunteer chaperones.
Mr. Peterson said that he would like to ask the staff to provide the
proper information for the Parks & Recreaiion meeting which wauld be he�d
on Monday, April 26, 1976.
RECEIVE APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES: APRIL 13, 1976
MOTION by WahZberg, seconded by Langenfeld, that the Planning Commis-
sion receive the minutes of the Appeals Corruaission meeting of April 13,
1976.
Mr. Harris said the City Council had received the minutes of the
Planning Commission on 40' lots and will study our recommendation at
their workshop meeting on April 26th. He said that a policy statement
and recommendations on sub-standard lots would be coming from the City
Council.
Mr. Boardman said the Appeals Commission would be acting on the one
request they have had on a 40` lot on April 27th, but this would then be
going to the City Council, and they would make the fina7 disposition on
this request.
UPON a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MINUTES: APRIL 13, 1976
MOTION bg Bergman, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission
receive the Communitg Development Con¢aission minutes of the meeting of
Bpril I3, 2976.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked how the development of the Sign Ordinance Project
Committee was �rogressing. Mr. Bergman said that Dennis Schneider would
be Chairing this project committee and was in the process'of forming it.
Mr, Bergman said that his Commission felt that Mrn Kraig Lofquist from
Naegele Sign Company had volunteered to be on this Gommission and they also
wanted representation from the Chamber of Corrnnerce. iney ie7t that anyone
� !

�!
_, , _ . -��_ .
Piannirtq Commission Meetinq - April 21, 1976 Page 3
who didn't live in the City shou1d be on this Committee for informational
� purposes only, and that the Chamber of Comnerce representative shouldn't
vote because they had a'vested'interest. Mr. Peterson said he took exception
to this because this Committee was being formed to give input on changes
that should probably be made in the sign ordinance, and the people who
were really involved in this ordinance should be full memkers of this
Committee.
Mrs, Wahlberg asked if a member of the Appeals Comnission was sti11
being considered as a member of thi:s Comnittee. Mr. Bergman asked Mrs.
Wahlberg to discuss this with the Appeals Com�ission, and then she should
call Mr. Schneider and tell him which member would agree to be on the
Committee. He said that they felt there should be a limit of seven people
on this Committee to make it a workable group.
UPON a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimou5Iy.

objections to this special use permit being granted.
Mr. Barry Satterlee presented pictures of the :site,. a drawing of
how the garage would be located on the lot, and a statement signed by
the two adjacent property owners.
Chairman Harris read the statement from the two adjacent property
owners which stated: "We the undersigned have no objection to a doubte
garage being constructed at 420 57th Place and the present single garage
attached to the dwelling remaining open and being used as a garage." He

2. VACATION REQUEST: SAV #76-02, MRS. RAY PRESIEMAN: Ta vacate that
part of unimproved Johnson Street that lies North of 53rd avenue
and adjaceni to Lot 18, Block 2, Swanstrom's Court Addition, the
same being 1391 53rd Avenue N.E.
Mr. & Mrs. Ray Presteman�were present.
Chairman Harris said this request would be handled as an informal
publ9c hearing.
Mr. Boardman said that a portion of unimproved Johnson Street was �
vacated in 1970. At that time, this portion of Johnson Street was
not vacated because the petitioner wanted to maintain that area for an
access. They have changed their minds and want it vacated now. There
wiil have to be an easement re�ained for drainage and utilities on
the East 20' of the vacated street.
Mrs. Albert Villella> 5300 Matterhorn Drive N.E., said that �heir
house was on the other side of this unimproved Johnson Street, and
she wondered how this vacation would affect her property. Mr. Harris
said this road easement for Johnson Street was 33' vrhich was half of
an easement for a street, so it would all go back to Swanstrom's Court
Addition, so this wouldn't affect Mrs. Villella's property at all.
Mrs. Villelia said that if the petitioner was going to construct
something on this 33', then it would affect her property very much.
Mr. Presteman said that they were going to construct a new attached
garage on their property, which wouTd- be built 2 feet from their present.
property line, so the vacated street would be used just as part of the
required setback. They didn't intend to iase any part of the vacated
street for any structure,
Mrs. Presteman said this unimproved street has been used as a dumping
ground by all the surrounding neighbors. She said there has been concrete
chunks, tree 6ranches, etc., dumped here, and she was the•only one in the
past ten years who has made any effiort to clean up this area. Mrs. Villella .
said that they had just purcha�ed their home last spring, and they had tried
to clean up the area closest ta their property.
Plannin Commission Meetin - A ril 21, 1976 '
Mrs. Presteman asked the Planning Comnission if they knew how much
� this vacated street would add to their real estate taxes. �r. Harris
satid he didn't think it would raise the taxes too much because this
would be considered as one building site, and although tfiey would own
a11 the property, 20' of it would have a drainage and utility easement
on it.
Mrs. Presteman said that if the City Council approved this vacation,
they would like to construct their garage before the vacation process
was completed. She said that no part of the easement would be used for
the construction of the garage because the garage would be 2 feet from
their present property line. Mr. Harris said the Planning Cottenission
could not make a determination on this, it would have to be done by the
City Council.
Mrs. Villella asked fiow close this garage would be to her property.
Mr. Harris said it would be 35' from her property line. She said she
had no objection to this.
M�TION by WahZberg, seconded by Peterson, that the Planninq Commissi.on
recormnend to Coancil approval of the vacation request, SAV #76-02, by Mrs.
Ray Presteman, to vacate that part of unimproved Johnson 5treet that lies
North of 53rd Avenue N.E. and adjacent to Lot 18, B]ock 2, Swanstrom's
Court.Addition, the same being 139I 53rd Avenue N.E..with the stipvlation
that the City retain a drainage and utility easemenE on the Sasterly 20
feet. Upon a voice vote� aI1 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
i 3. DISCUSSION ON SECOND ACCESSORY BUILDINGS: COMMUNITY
rnMn�zccrnni MTN117FG t1F APRTI 13_ 7976
Chairman Harris had asked Mr. Bergman to delay the discussion of
this item until the completion of the public hearing items.
Mr. Bergman said he was bringing this to the attention of the Planning
Co�nission for any treatment that the Planning Commission deemed necessary.
He said the Community Development Comnissia nse nd��ccessory his because
of a request for a Special Use Permit on . �-
building that was larger than the existing house, which they felt was in
conflict with the primary use of a residential d�strict.
Mr. Bergman said it was the unanimous consensus of this Commission,
after in-depth'discussior�s, that the present ordinance was as good as
anything that we could come up wi.th. The concerns sere'that the City should
not prohibit what a person could do on tfiein own property, and to be
too restrictive was a violation of individual rights. The 25k lot cover- -
age maximum, they felt was a reasonably valid control over the abuse of
second accessory building'size. It was felt that we shouldn't get too
concerned with what kind of private business or hobby a person.might want
• to conduct on their own property. Mr. Bergman said they felt �t would
be difficult to validly deny an accessory buiiding, with the burden of
proof resting on the City, and it would be difficult to inspect or control.
as to the present owner, or if the property changed owners.
• Mr. Peterson said he agreed with this completely.
. � ,,.
Planning Commission Meeting - Aprit 21, 1976 Page 6
Mr. Harris said that he agreed with this in principle, but he was
concerned with the use of some of the accessory buildings. He said that �
there seemed to be more and more businesses that were being operated out
of garages, and he thought this was bringing commercialism into what should
be completely residential neighborhoods.
Mr. Boardman said the home occupation section of our code does not
allow any business to be conducted from an accessory building, ii:all had
to be confined to the residence itself. Mr. Harris felt that there were
flagrant violations to that section of.the code. He said that he felt
there were many body shops being operated in garages, and'�tii5 was unfair
to someane. who was operating a body shop in the�proper zoning.and paying
out for overhead, when�someone else was operatircg a tiody shap illegally
in their garage, with no overhead.
Mr. Langenfeld offered as a suggestion the guidelines laid out by
insurance companies on what was a commercial use in a re5idential area
and what wasn't. He said he felt this would be quite helpful to the
Planning Commission in making a determination of what was a home oecupation
and what was a commercial venture.
Mr. Boardman said he felt that wouid be a help, but he would prefer
not to have the zoning ordinance worked on in a piecemeal way. Ne said
that the Planning Commiss�i�on would be reviewing ihe entire zoning code,
and he thouqht that the concerns that they had should be part of their
recommended changes to the code at that time. Ne said they could also
„ consider business iicenses for home businesses at the time they reviewed •
the new maintenance code.
Chairman Harris declared a recess at 9:10 P.M, and reconvened the
meeting at 9:25 P.M.
4. GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Mr. Boardman said he had set up five goal areas. They. were Housing,
Human DeveTopment, Access, Security and Cottonunity Vitality. Ne said the
Hausing Goal had been completed.
Mr. Boardman said that under the Human Development Goal they would,
cover Parks & Recreation.,and every thing that deals with human resources:
library, fine arts, the humanities, the schoolS and education, etc. Under
the Access Goa7 we will handle anything that has to do with the movement
of people and services, and the maintenance of those accesses. The Securit,y
Goal wil] har.dle individual public health and general welfare. "Tn the �
Vitality Goal �they would handle anything that concerns the cor�,iunity's growth.
Mr. Boardman said they would consider the Human Development Goal at
tiiis meeting. Mr. Boardman read five goal statements under this goal.
The first goa7 statement was to "Provide adequate park facilities and
recreational opportunities to ensure the health and well beittg of the
residents and provide for a quality living environment.° He then read
four other goal statements and then reviewed the Program Objectives for _•
the first goal statement which were based on the goals and objectives from
the Parks & Recreation Commission.
�..
D]anning Comnission Meetin - A�ril 21 1976 Paqe 7
The Planning Commission was in general agreeiient with the presentation
b� Mr. Boardman, but Mr. Harris said he thought they should take the material
with them to give themselves a chance to digest it, and they should be ready
� by the next meeting to review this fi��rst goal under Human Development. �.Mr.
Boardman..said the Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan would be based on
this first goal.
5. PERMIT FROCESS
Mr. Boardman said he would like to have the Planning Commission's
reaction to the staff reports used for building permit requests for:commercial
and industrial development. He said tbat at the present time; when someone
makes a request for a building permit, we write up a staff report. He said
this was sent to the Planning Commission, who were not required to take
action on the report. -It then goes to the City Council, and they are not
required to take any action on these reports either. He said that the
staff did wait to issue a permit until the staff reports had been through
the Planning Comnission and Council. He said the intent of this process
was just to inform the Planning Commission and Council of what was go;ng
on in the City.
Mr. Boardman said he thought that a better way to handle this, as far
as the staff was concerned, was to eliminate the staff report. He said
the staff reviewed all building permit requests to see that they met all
the requirements of the zoning code: He said a list of permits issued would
be given to the Planning Commission and Council so they would still be
aware of what was being developed in the City.
� Mr. Boardman said that when the Building Standards-Oesign Control
Subcommittee was eliminated during the reorganization of the Planning
Comnission, it was thought the administrative staff report would be a
transition from this Subcommittee to a process that would still keep the
Pianning Canmission and Council aware of building permit requests. Now
we would like to phase out the administrative staff reports. He said that
by just sending a list of permits issued to the Planning Commission and
Council this could speed us the issuing of permits by two to three weeks.
Mr. Harris said he was concerned about developers not having any
�e�our-se if they didn't agree with the staff's interpretation of the zoning
code. Mr, Boardman said this was taken care of in the Code, where anyone
cauld make an appeal of any staff decision through the Appeals Commission.
Mr. Harris said that he had no objection to building permits being
handled by the staff as long as there was a way to appeal these decisions.
The other members of the Planning Commission concurred. They all agreed
that staff should make the citizens aware that there was an appeal process
to their decisions. �
6. STREET STANDARDS
Mr. Bergman said he wanted to bring up the subject of street standards
with the idea that it was better to be forthright to do something other than
to complain or gripe: Ne said that at the last meeting he had asked what
• the standard was for street width, and was told that there were many, and
he was boihered by this. He asked if there was anything the Planning Commission
could do to correct this. Mr. Boardman said that most of the streets were
_ . ..
_ ��
Planninq Commission Meetinq - Apri1 21, 1976 Page �
already in. Mr. Harris said he felt it was never too late to establish
standards. because this was an on-going thing. Mrs. Shea felt that this
could be under the Access Goal to establish standards for road width.
Mr. Berguwn said he felt a little bit em6arrasse� that at this point in •
time we were talking about establishing street standards,
Mr. Boardman said he would ask the Engineering Department for a
report on how street widths were determined at the present time.
ADJOURNMENT:
MOTSON by Peterson, seconded by Wahlberg that the meeting be adjourned.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Chairman Narris declared the Planninq

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 20 1976 PAGE 2
Mr. Paripovich itanded out to the members a list of the goals
- of the East River Road Project Committee, of which he is
chairman. He said he.had talked to a 1ot of people abouY
the goals and they have already been altered a bit. He
stated they were taking a view of East Rivez itoad not only as
a road or highway that has been a controversial subject for
a long time, but viewing it in the context o£ a gateway to a
iqajox environmental area and its relationship to the Mississ-
ippx corzzdor, and to tfie whole concept that is being developed
here. He explained he was working with approximately 12
people i❑ various degrees of involvement, and everyone was
anxious to get started. He said he was looking for the approval
of the Commission to get assurance that they are going in the
right direction.
Chairman Langenfeld asked if he was going to use the goals
and objectives of the Environmental Commission as his guide,
and Mr. Paripovich replied he was.
MOTION by Bruce Peterson, seconded by Mike Paripovich, to
receive the goals of the East River Road Project Committee.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanim-
ously.
Mr. Paripovich then read to the Commission the Goals of the
East River Road Project Committee:
1. Explore means to promote the
involvement in the planning
will associate k'ridley with
growth o£ civic
of developments which
the Mississippi corridar,
2. Review available planning regarding tfie development
o£ East River Road with reference to its eventual
impact on the Mississippi corridor and the con-
tiguous residential areas.

4
Detexmine safe noise and air pollution levels
and compare to existing and pro5ected levels.
Obtain information which evaluates East River
Road traEfic safety characteristics.
5. Encourage the implementation of the recommendations
of the East River Road committee and other plans
which would foster the identification of Fridley
as the gateway to the river, a city serving the
greater community by providing access to the many
sesthetic benefits the northern metropolitan corridor
will provide.
Mr. Paripovich explained the reasoning beh.ind number one was
that one of the real problems was that plans are made for
the East River Hoad and surrounding areas and the people
„- ..,
��
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 20, 1976 PAGE 3
immediately involved in this--those that live near the river
or on East River Road--are not aware of these developments.
He s3id because of this the committee wants to cause an
awakening of interest in the shaping of this area.
Mr. Peterson pointed out that if all the people on the com-
mittee come ftom the corridor area, possibly at a later date
they would hear from other people who would say they weren't
involved in the goals or objectives. Ae asked if the com-
mittee was going to obtain viewpoints from oCher xesidents
of Fridley.
Mr. Paripovich replied that if the means were provided,they
would gladly provide progress reports of their activities.
Mr. Olson suggested he talk to SoAnn Rice or Pau1 Gustafson
and get a small article in the paper inviting people to
attend the meetings and participate. He explained that way
the citizens couldn`t complain that no effort was made Yo
inform them.
Mr. Paripovich explained the committee's thinking behind the
second goal was to ensure Cheir looking at the entire picture.
He said they were aware of the Mississippi corridox and didn't
want to skim axound it. Ae stated this should be a beautifi-
cation program for Fridley.
With reference to the third goal, Mr. Paripovich explair.ed
they wanted to determine the traffic ledels and air pollution
levels and then compare them to what is considered safe.
Regarding goal number 4, he said the committ�e wanted to talk
to experts who knew about these. things and obtain their opinions.
Mr. Paripovich said that regarding the fifth goal_ there was
quite strong feeling on this with the people he had talked to.
He said there was a strong feeling that Fridley should have a
bettex image--that it is considered a crossroad and when
image building is done this is what we project. He stated
that this is an opportunity for Fridley to be identified with
the whole impxovement of the river and the road that conducYs
people to that area,
Chairman Langenfeld said he could see that environmental
awareness was the main objective of the goals, and asked if
the peopie felt that the traffic should be slowed down to 25
miles per hour so that a more aesthetic quality would prevail.
He stated he felt the major problem of the traffic would have
to be dealt with by the county.
Mr. Paripovich replied that the police,the city engineers,
and the citizens who live along the road are aware of the
past problems and realiie it is a safety hazard and an inadequate
road for the use that is made of it. He said the committee
X� ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OP APRIL 20, 1976___ __ PAGE 4
would make a reasonable recommendat-ion, but didn't wa� to be
radical. He stated that speaking for himself, he felt it
was a major thoroughfare and traffic couldn't jusC be snuffed
out, but there should be a more Fridley--oriented use made of
it.
Mr. Petetson asked if he had determined what information is
available at present or if there had been any search done
into the records, and Mr. Paripovich answered that this hadn't
been doae yet because the committee first wanted to get
approval before they went any further.
Mr. Olson asked if any thought had been given on upgrading
eithe'r University or Highway 65 to a freeway. He stated t6at
East River Road is a natural thoroughfare for traffic going
north, and since Fridley is also a part of the metro area, it
should provide a means to get to these other communities, but
i£ a faster means of getting through Fridley is provided, the
people will use that road.
Mr. Paripovich stated that at the present time there were
40 and 45 mile per hour speed limits, and cars and trucks
went 60 and 65. He said that the police have made extensive
efforts to slow down the traffic, but to no avail.
Chairman Langenfeld suggested Mr. Paripovich check with the
city regarding a study he remembered being done abou't a year
ago by a trafiic specialist on this subject. He said he thought
he remembered one of the conclusions being there were too many
directional signs on East River Road. He also noted that
the situation by Wickes was a traffic hazard. He said the
Planning Commission allowed the placement of a combined direc-
tionai sign for botfi Wicices and Plywood Minnesota, and some
people get quite confused at this point.
Mr. Paripovich stated that as a part of the Commission he was
interested in having this be acceptable to the rest of the
people in the city. He said he would welcome any suggestions
about the acceptability of these goals. Chairman Langenfeld
commented that once he got the citizens intexested, he migh.t
just go back'and forth and not arrive at any decisions.
Mr, Peterson asked what type of plan of action was being con-
sidered,and Mz. Paripovich replied they were going to get three
' or four groups working independently on this gathering data
so the rommittee could:move faster.
Chairman Langenfeld suggested using a questionnaire, and
Mr. Paripovich felt that was a very good idea. Mr. Langenfeld
esid funds would have to be appropriated for this purpose,
as a mailing would cost several hundred dollars.
Mr. Olson asked about the latest traffic studies on East River
Roads and felt that date may reflect an inerease in vehicles
over a period of the last couple of years. Mr. Paripovich
explained the committee was not just concexned with reducing
��
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OP APRIL 20, 197b___ PAGE 5
�
the traffic, but wanted to get a total picture and the traffic
would certainly be part of it. Chairman Langenfeld suggested
to Mr. Paripovich that he talk to Mr. Redmann who works for
Anoka County and oversees all the work on the road.
Mr. Paripovich said that someone involved with the committee
from the staff would be very helpful, and he requested some
siaff Cime. Mr. Olson suggested he talk to Mr. Sobiech or
Mr. Boardman. Mr. Paripovich said thaC by the next meeting
they would find out if they needed staff time, and if so, they
would try to justify it. He also said they would be able to
speak more intelligently about any budget expenses needed at
that time.
Chairman Langenfeld stated that the budget expenses would have
to be a£ormal request from this Commission, and requested
Mr. Paripovich to give him the anticipated needs of the com-
mittee so the proper requisition could be submitted. He said
he felt this study could be a good thing for the city itself.
Mr. Paripovich requested Mr. Olson to find out how much the
budget is for the year 1976 and prepare a complete breakdown
of what it is.
Mr. Olson informed the Commission that an extensive attempt
is being made to change the whole image and identity of Pxidley
from "Fridley--The Top of The Twins", to"Fridley--A Community".
Even the new identification cards are improved and more artistic.
Mr. Raripovich commented that iC was encouraging that the ciCy
is aware of the fact that it should improve its image. He
said he felt Fridley lacked a personality and an ;.3entiCy of
its own. He said it seems to be thought of as a space in between
something, but not considesed a space in itself.
Mr. Paripovich informed the members that the commiCtee was
already receiving suggestions and ideas from people who had
heard of it, and thexe was a reaction beginning to occur. He
said he had been asked to bear in mind that kids have to crass
East River Road, and Co keeg that in consideration. Mr. Peterson
suggested the use of elevated crosswalks, and Mr. Paripovich
replied that usually they were built on a road that contained
a lot of traffic and hopefully, the traffic on East River Road
would be reduced.
Mr. Olson suggested more traffic lights wovld tend to slow down
the traffic, andperhaps a speed limit of 30 - 35 mph should be
advocated. He said that signs saying "watch for children" and
this type of thing would discouxage traffic and wouldn`t affect
Che citizens on the road too much.
Mr. Langenfeld commended Mr. Paripovich on establishing the goals.
��'3 �NVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION M�ETING OF APRIL 20 1976 PAGE 6
Mr. Olson reopened the discussion on the preliminary plat
discu'ssed at the Planning,Commission meeting of April 7, 1976,
and asked the members if they wanted to take any official
action or had any ideas they wanted carried out. He explained
that th:�s was going be£ore t�e City Council May 10.
MX. PeCeXson withdrew his motion to table this discussion until
the next meeting,
Mr. Langenfeld said he asked that this be submitted to this
Commission so that they could form an opinion, and he also
thought it would be of special interest to Mike Par3povich
since he was chaitman�of the East River Road Project Committee.
Mr. Paripovich asked who his committee shou2d contact after
coming up with this information, and Mr. Olson said he should
probably submit his comments itt writing to the City Council or
appear as a group to the City Cour�il and make any suggestions.
MOTION by Bruee Peterson, seconded by Mike Paripovich, that the
East River Road Project Committee review the Planning Commission
minutes of April 7, 1976, and make any appropriate recommenda-
tions to the proper body prior to the final plat being accepted.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimeusly.
Chairman Langenfeld said he didn't know how the property would
be developed the way it is presently platted, but if this was
accepted, it would make it residential. He told Mr. Paripovich
if depelopments occurred which were important, a special meeting
of the Environmental Commission could be called.
LAND ALTERATION ORDINANCE:
Mr. Olson explained to the Commission that they had before them
copies of the deleted Land Alteration Ordinance, the existing
ordinance and the proposed ordinance, and also a copy of the
application form for alteration. He explained that what is
being proposed is Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code which
is .quite comprehensive and does a good job. He stated it was
open for suggestions.
Mr. Paripovich said he had read it and he thought it was nec-
essary and very good. Chairman Langenfeld stated he felt the
existing ordinanca 2I2-Mining Sand and Gravel was just no �od,
and felt the whole thing should be zevised.

MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gabel� to approva the minutes of the
April 13� 1976 meeting as written. Upon a voi�e vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE GUIDELINFS ON !t0 FOOT LOTS FROM CITY COUNCIL:
Chairwoman Wahlberg stated that in addition to the minutes of the subcommissions
on the 40 toot lots which were distributed at the last Appeals meeting, there
is now available a list of tentative guidelines from the Planning Cocmnission
on substandard lots. She explained that the Planning Commission has passed
these guidelines on to the City Council £or their review� and at this point
the Council has not yet come up tirith an affirmative plan.
Mr. Holden said that this was discussed at the City Gouncil meeting last night,
and they concluded the Planning Coirm�ission guidelines were good points to
consider, He added that the Council suggested they should be considered on
an individual basis� with review and final approval to be by the Council. Chair-
Woman ldahlberg said that all the subcommittees felt the city should go along
with building on 4Q' lots, but there crere stipulations they felt should be
adhered to.
TENTATIVE GUiDELINES FROM THE PLAI3NING COMMISSION OPi Si3B5TANDARD LOTS:
1. The Planning Commission feels that it was consistent rrith the
Comprehensive Housing Plan that suh-standard lots should be
developed in Fridley, but each sub-standard lot should be con-
sidered separately.
2. That there he no variance allowed from the present ordinance
allowing a maximum of 2 n lot coverage. (For ezample, on a
5200 square foot lot, which would require a variance for lot
' size, only 1�3� square feet of the lot could be covered by
the house and garage.)
3, If there is land available on either side of a sub-standard lot�
• every effort should be made to purchase that lot at a fair
market price by the petitioner� so the lot size would be consistent
�
���
FRIDLEY APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 27� 1976 - PAGE 2
�9 vi.th the existing buildinP, sites in Lhe area. If the petitioner
refuses to try and negotiate for additional vacant land, consideration
should be given to denying the variance. All denia2s have to be
'based on good� sound considerations.
1t. That the owner/builder make as much of an effort as possible to
meet the existing codes.
5. That the house being built on a sub-standard lot blend in as
aesthetically as possible with the existing houses in the neighborhood�
' realizing that a new home cannot always blend into an old neighborhood,
STAF`F'S COMMENTS:
s. Statement of hardship must include statement regarding length
of ovnership which wonld give indication if property was oWned
Por a number of yesrs, or recently ac4uired with the intention
of speculating on deve2opment oF a!t0 foot lot,
b. All variances associated with the development of !t0 foot lots
would require final approval by the Ciiy Council.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gabe1, to accent the tentative guidelines
from the Planning Corrmiission on substandard lots. Upon a voice vote, all voting
�ye� the motion carried unanimously.
�
Mr. Barna suggested that a 5200 square foot lot with a decent size house shou2dn't •
require a garage� but Chairwoman Wahlberg stated it wasn't this Commission's
prerogat�re to change that stipulation. She said that would have to go through
the Planning Commission.
Mr. Holden said he wanted to bri.ng up that ihe City Council discussed and
endorsed ihe idea that the Appeal.s Cormnission try to substantiate with facts
any findings on the fort,y foot lots.
Chairwoman Wahlberg stated ihat she was slight2,y disappointed that the guidelines
xeren't stronger. She said that most of the subcommissions seem to be pretty
consistent on their feelings on this, and she hoped they could act in the best
interest of the city in the £uture.

Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously.
N,OTION by Mrs. Gabel, seconded by ;•ir. Barna, to open the public hearing. Upon
a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion cazried unanimously.
Afr, �illella was at the meeting to present his reGuest� and a neighboring land
owner, AIr. C, L. Popp of h762 21� Street N.E., Fridley, Has also oresent. Mr.
Villella showed to the Commission photogranhs oi the lot and a house plan.
Chairwoman ti7ahlberg reviewed the reauest iten by item, and Nir. Villella said
that number 5, to reduce the setback for an attached garage, was no longer a
� request. Chaiz^�roman 'rTahlberg sai.d it still iell short of minimwn lot size,
and in addition to the eleven foot setback £rom the lot line there was a twelve
foot boulevard easement which the city ozaned.
hfr, Popp asked Mr. Villella if he was still over the 25� lot coverage� and Mr.
Villella replied he could cut the house down to 960 feet, for a total of 1400
square feet including the garage.
Chairwoman Wahlberg told Mr; Villella the maximum he would be allowed was
1303 square feet� and suggested an alternative of building a single-car garage
instead of a double gara�e, h[r. Barna suggested using a different house design;
either a two story or a story and a half.
Chairwoman Wahlberg reviewed the guidel9.ne which states there be no variance
allowed from the nresent ordinance of 250 lot coverage. She said this appeared
to be very consisent among three subcommissions� the Planning Commission and
ihe City Council. She told DSr. Villella that unless he could come up with an
alternate plan which vould reduce ihe covera�e, the Conmiission would not be
allowed to apprdve it. She explained that with fewer lots in ihe city to build
on, there will be people wanting to build on these !a0' lots, and there was no
objection to building on these lots if they meet existing building codes. Mrs,
Wahlberg said tfiis would provide scattered mized housing throughout the city,
xhich fits in with the Comprehensive Housing Plan to encourage lower-cost housing.
Mr. Popp stated he did not want this to be allowed. Ae felt it would not blend
� in r,rith the neighborhood� and also was concerned that a house that close to the
street might be a safeLy hazard. He also felt his view might be impaired.
Y

Hr. Villella said that he could make the house 960 square feet with a one-car •
garage, and there should be no problem. Chairwoman Wahlberg said it xas her
urtderstanding that the adjacent land ormer had no objection to building on this
property� and Mr. Villella said that Was correct. He said he had a new house
plaz� in mi.nd that would be 21t � X!t0' with a single-car garage, and would be
either a front split or side split.
Chaix�sroman Wahlberg pointed out that he would still require the two side yard
setback variances and the lt0� lot variance. She said that i£ he was willing to
change the garage entrance fro:n the side street to curve around� that variance
could be eliminated.
i4r. $arna asked Mr. Popp if he wovld have any objections if the house was
smaller and he could be assured it wouldn'L obstruct his view� and Mr. Popp
replied he wouldn't if Mr. Vi1lella would change the p2ans.
Chairwoman Ylahlberg asked Mr. Holden if he thought the Board should approve
the house plan, and he replied that he would recommend that the house plan
be submitted to the City Council.
MOTION by Mr, Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gabel� to closa the public hearing.
Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Gabel said she didn�t think she could object to this since Mr. Villella
was willing to work within the guidelines, and this plan fit into the Compre-
hensive Housing P]an. She also felt it would bring up the value of existing homes. �
Chairwoman Wahlberg said that in addition to his willingness to work with the
25w coverage� another point to be made is that there is really no land available
to add to this lot to bring it up to code.
MOTION by Mrs. Gabel, seconded by Afr. Barna� to approve the reauests for
variances 1, 2� 4 and 6� and deny the requests For variances 3 and 5, noting
that the developer has agreed to this. Upon a voice voie� all voting aye,
the motion carried Unanimously.
Chairwoman Wahlberg thanked Mr. Villella for his patience with the city in
determining this, and said she would make an e£fort to help him get on the
City Council agenda for next Monday.
Mr. Holden to2d Pir. Villella that the city rranted to in£orm him that it ma,y be
necessary that this 1s0' lot snd others be charged an additional sewer and water
assessment� as these lots were not assessed as buildable sites.

Mr. 0'Bannon stepped forward to present his proposal.
ADMINISTRATIYE STAFF REPt)RT
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE Sr'�iVED BY REQUZIt�.Tg:NT: Section 205.053, W�� front yard
setback oi 35 feet.
Public purpose served by th3s section is to allox for ofi-street parking
xithout encroaching on tfie public right o£ vay. Also the aesthstic
consideration of the neighborhood to reduce the �'building line of sight"
encroachment into the neighbor's front yard.
B, STATID HARDSHiP: Because the house is on the firsi lot of the cul-de-�ac
it will be located behind the house on lot �2 to the east.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REUIE47: The actual curbing in this particular
cul-de-sac right of wa,y was shifted to the north in order to allow Por
a buildable site on Lot 6 across the street. Staff feels that if the
petitioner is able to maintain aporoximately the sar.ie distance between
the curbi.ng and the house setback that they would have no objection to
the variance. Staff recoimnends that in as much as the lot to the east
• is tindeveloped, a house could be placed on the neighboring lot which
would not restrict the view of the petitioner.
MOTION by Mr. Barna� seconded by Mrs. Gabel� to accept the Adriinistrative
Report. Upon a voice vote, all voting �ye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr, 0'Bannon stated that he was the developer of the Kerry Circle area�
and showed the Board a photograph of the lot and a map of the lots on the
cul-de-sac. He sai.d he was asking to move the house up so it would be a
little more in line with the other houses and still put two cars in the
drivew�y.
Mr. Barna said he vas out to the area today and £elt there was approximately
25 feet from the curb to �arage. Mr. 0'Bannon said he thought it was more _
like 35 - �SO feet.
Chairvoman Wahlberg asked ii the land s2oped away in the back, and Mr. 0'Bannon
replied it did not� only about three Seet at the most. She asked if the basic
reason for moving the honse forward was continuity �rith the rest of the houses,
and Mr. O'Bannon said it was.
MOTION by Mr. Barna� seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to close the public hearing.
Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously.
Chairwoman Wahlberg asked Mr. Aolden if a normal 35 foot setback would restrict
� t,he aeighbor's view, Hr. Holden replied it uould be possible for them to set
a house back�far enough. He stated that i.n resnect to I.ot #6 whiCh had been
moved in closer, staff felt it could be kept the same distance (house to curb)

?s
end felt there really wouldn't be much of a problem in maintaining a'site line
for both. the houses. He said it wou3d be possible to build the house at 35�, •
but the back yard would be upset. He added that he thought the request for
variance was reasonable.
ChairWOman Wahlberg asked if vhen the staff discussed the existing Lot #b
the street circle aras ihe circumference that was originally planned� and Mr.
Holden replied that assuming the survey of ihe house to be correct� either
the street had not shifted as far north as was expected or the radius has
changed. Chairwoman :•lahlberg said that because of the shape of the lot and
the aesthetics involved� she felt it would need a variance of some sort,
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by TTrs. Gabel, to grant the variance as stated.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

ADMINI5TRATIVE STAFF REPORT
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.053, �tB, side yard
setback of 10 feet.
Public purpose served by ihis section is io maintain a minimum of 20 feet
between living areas in adjoining structures and 15 feet between gasages
and living areas in adjoining structures to; 1. Reduce exposure to
conflagration of fire between structures and, 2, To allaw for open areas
arovnd residential structures to maintain aesthetically pleasing surraundin�s.
B. STATE HARDSHSP: Lot is not wide enough for proposed house plan.
C. ADMINISTRATNE STAFF i?r,"�IELJ: The survey submitted with the proposed house
drawn to sca2e on it shows only 6 feet of clearance to the north lot line
and 5 feet of clearance to the south lot line. The 5 foot setback to the
garege is zrithin Cit,y Code. The distance irom the proposed house to the
e�cisting garage on adjoining property would be approximately 16 feet,
Due to the fact that there is adequate lot width and depth, the staff
fee2s that a house could be designed to fit the side yard setbacks of the
City Code.

Staff Report, Upon a voice vote� a12 voting aye� the moiion carried unanimously.
FRIDLEY APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 27� 1976 - PAGE 7 ,; 4
ZSr. Hattson showed the Commission photographs of the lot� his proposed house
� plan and the survey of the lot, Be expla3.ned when he bought the property he
uas told it was 89 feet cride� and learned later that it was 79 feet wide, He
sai.d the house he wanted to build was too big for the lot, so he cut doz+n the
si2e of the garage, He stated he �aould still hane the same distance between
the two homes that is normally between houses, but he still needs a� foot
variance on one side. He added that he had already sold his home at 189 River
Fdge Way and had to move into a one-bedroom apartment until his nex home was
ready.
Mrs, Winner stated her concern that light would be cut off from her kitchen
window when Mr. Mattson's garage was built. Afr. Mattson e;cplained that his
garage would be 5' in front of their garage, so it wouldn't affect them at
all; however, looking out to the street they would see the back of the garage,
He explained there would be a storage space under his garage since diminishing
the size of the garage had eliminated room £or storage. They had no further objeciions,
Mr. Mattson said he had di.scovered the lot size when he apnlied for the permit,
and didn�t vant to change the house size as he didn't know where to cut off
1� feet, Chainroman T�Jahlberg suggested a dif£erent house nlan� but T�r. Mattson
explained the reason they sold their house and bou�ht this propert;� was because
they really wanted this plan. He said they had already invested $20,000 in the
lot, and a lot of time and effort had gone into designing this house. Iie stated
if he couldn't get the variance he would consider putting a garage on each side
of the house.
� Chairwoman �dahlberg said that the lot was buildable and any house could be built
on it that meets code� and this plan didn�t, She said the Co�nission did not
necessarily make a hsbit of approving variances without the petitioner considering
any alternatives. Mr. Barna added that two side yard'setbacks are required; on
one side may be a gara�e and the other side must be livi.ng space, so t-Ir. Mattson
raouldn't be able to build a gara.ge on �oth sides. He suggested to Mr. Mattson
that he either cut down the garage or consider another house plan.
Chairwbman Wahlberg stated �hat the basic idea was to allow 20 feet between living
areas in adjoining structures and 15 feet between garages and living areas in
adjoining structures because of £ire hazards. She added that her main concern
sras the fact that a 79' lot is buildable without variances, and there are floor
plans that would fit, Mr, Mattson answered that his-home would be no closer
than those in the rest of Fridley and xouldn't be a fire hazard because he still
had the 16 feet, and he added that his neighbors didn't object.
MOTION by Mr. Barna� seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairwoman Wahlberg stated the Sta.££ Report suggests ihat perhaps an alternate
building plsn cou�d be drawn which would meei the City Code, however, the petitioner
stated he feels he has had this plan for some time and was unaware the lot was
actually 10 feet smaller that vhat he originally thought it to be� and he feels
he has a considerable amount of money invested in the lot and the plan and would
like bo build as proposed.

Mrs. Gabel said she had two feelings on the matter: 1) She didn't like it because •
the lot is definitely buildable and there are plans that wou7.d fit on this lot,
and 2) She stated if she had $20,000 invested in it, had the plan for some time,
and originally believed the lot was larger� she would want the right to build� too.
Mr. Mattson suggested he build a one-car garage, but Chairwoman Wahlberg said
she didn�t feel that would be the solution as with that price-range house there
should be a double garage.
Chairwoman Wahlberg asked Mr. iiolden if the staff was aware of the amount of
time the plans had been.considered or that the original owner misrepresented
the size of the lot whem they wrote the Administrative Report. Mr. Holden
replied that the misrepresented size had been considerefl, but not the amount
of time and money thai had already been invested in it.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mrs, Gabel, to grant the variance, taking i.nto
consider.ation the placement of the garage,
Chairwoman '+lahlberg stated that from a philosophical standpoint they had a problem
before ihe Board which was difficult to solve� and she appreciated the petitioner's
particular problems in discovering the lot was less than he anticipated it was,
However� she said� this has come up in the past and the Commission has encouraged
petitioners to go back to the drawing board and try to meet the code� because
it has been written as a protection for all citizens. 5he added that since the
lot would be buildab2e with any other plan, it is unfortunate the petitioner �
does not feel he could change his plans.
Upon a voice vote, Mrs. Gabel and A1r, Barna voting aye, Chairk•oman Wahlberg
voting nay, the mot3on carried 2- 1.
Mrs. Wahlberg informed Mr. Mattson that this would now go before the City CoUncil
for review on May 17th.

Mr. Humann approached the Board to present his request� and showed them
photographs of the house and lot and a survey of the lot.
AD142NISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY RE2UIREh1ENTS: Section 2Q5.053, �B� side yard
setback of ten (10) feet, Public gurpose served by this section is to
maintain a ninimum of 2Q £eet between living areas of adjoining structures
and 15 feet bztween garage and living areas of adjoining structures to;
1. Reduce exposure to conflagration of fire between structures and, 2,
To allox £or open areas around residentail structures to maintain aesthetically
pleasing surroundings.
B, STATED HARDSHIP: Family of 5 needs more room (bedrooms).
C, ADHINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Staff ineasurements show 22 feet between the
house and the neighbors garage to the east. The house appears to be 8
• feet from the fence which is assumed as lot line (survey not available at
this tir�e). In that the neighbor to the east has no objection� staff would
recommend granting the variance.
Mr. Barna said he questioned why this was a non-conforming structure� and Mr.
Humann explained because the lot line on one side vas 8 feet. P1r. Humann stated
he would have to remove the whole roof section to do what he �ranted to, and would
have the dormer section towards the front of the house. He said he would on2y
be expanding up, not out� and had no intention of putting an overhang on tne
house. He added that he now had iwo bedroons with three boys, and one was sleening
in the basement. The upstairs would contain two bedrooms; a 12 X 12' for iwo
of the boys� and a 10 % 18' for the master bedroom. He explained that it would
look like a tuo-story house from the £ront� and would look the same in the rear.

an agreement of approval.
MOTION hy Mr. Barna, seconded by Pfrs, Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon

Mr. Barna stated that there seemed to be enough room between the txo houses,
and he felt the only problem was the unlmown lot line� but he had no objections.
Chairwoman Wahlberg said that the new survey seemed to confirm the lot line,
goin� by the fence.
� MOTION by Mrs. Gabel, seconded by Mr. Barna� to approve the variance request�
with the understandinR that the existing structure be included in the variance.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously.

C, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: StafY measuremenis show the building to be �'
setback 53 feet from the front lot li.ne and 40 feet from a proposed
landscape island. This h0 foot area is needed to supply .adequate parking
for the building. If the sign is moved back to the 10 foot setback point,
a total o£ possibly 1x parking stalls would have to be eli.minated to
ma3ntain adequate driving width between the sign and the parking stalls.
Building the sign wi.th the seven (i) foot setback leaves only 2 feet from
the brick sign base to the curbing in the parking area.
Staff feels that the sign should not be moved back closer to the curb
than the txo feet, as this creates a driving hazard. In as much as there
are not any similar signs in the area and the sign will be sethack
approximatel,y 18 feet from�the street side curb, staff has no objection
to this variance being granted,
MOTION by Mrs. Gabel� seconded by Mr. Barna� to receive the Administrative
Staff Report. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye� the motion carried unanimo�sly.
Mr. Mochinski stated he wished to erent a brick wall with aluminum letters
s�Yi.ng ��V.F.W. POST 363", �ich would be illuminated during certain hours.
Chairwoman ti�7ahlberg informed the Board that this was part of the up-grading
that came through some time ago. She said that in addition to this sign� on
the front of the building there is the V.F.W. sigm also. She asked Mr. Mochinski
i£ he felt the sign would be p�one to damage� especially since there was a
schooi nearby, and he said thai was why the,y chose cast-aluminvm letters. �

Mrs. Gabel said she �,�ondered if tttis advertising was necessary� and Mr. Mochinski
said the V.F.W, wanted to identif� Post 363. He said they had a choice of several
things, but felt the brick wall would help clean up the area. He stated he was '
trying to keep both the V.F.W. and the city happy, and showed the Corunission
where the green areas would be on the d3�gram.
Mr. Barna questioned what would be done with the snow that is piled up in
back, and Hfr. Mochinski said the V.F.W. would pay £or snow removal to haul it
out.
MOTION tay Mr. Barna� seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to cZose the public hearing. Upon
a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Gabel said she was glad they were cleaning up the area, and since this
appeared to be a gleasing sign and conforms to code� she wouldn't have at�y
pbjection.
MOTTON by Mr. Barna� seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to grant the variance. Upon a
voice vote� sll voting sye, the.,motion carried unanimously.
Chairvoman Wahlberg informed Mr. Mochinski that this would now go before the

� ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION FROM THE PLANDIING COMhfZSSION:
Chairwoman Wahlberg informed ihe members that the Community Development Cormnission
was going to set up a SiE;n Ordinance Project Committee, and when the concept
first came before the Coimnission she suggested that a member of the Appeals
Cotmnission should perhaps serve on that oo�mnittee because of the fact that
the Board of Appeals has gons through a lot of the sign ordinances in the past
year or so. She explained what they intende3 to do was have several citizens
serve on the coR¢ni.ttee a2ong with members from the business community� Chamber
of Cormnerce� League o£ Women Voters= people from the s�gn companies� etc.� to
try to get feelings from various perspectives as to what our sign ordinances
should be. '
��
�
U
Mrs. Gabel volunteered to serve on thai commi-ttee� and Chaizwroman IJahlberg
said she would submit her name.
Chairwoman 47ahlberg told the Commission that the Yoath Project Committee haa
hadngone back and rae orkedeth ir proposalmand wentnbeforedtheuHuraan Re ources
Commission with their final Teen Center Proposal. Mrs. Wahlberg read aloud
the following proposal of the Youth Project Committee:
S9[IERF,AS� over �3% of Fridley's population is under 18� and
WHII2EAS, Fridley does not have a center for its youth, and
WHEREAS� our survey shows that most of Fridley's youths want a teen cenier�
We the members of the Fridley Youth Project Committee recormnend that a
temporary youth center be established in the Fridley Civic C�heeP�kseand
prefer that it be located in the room presentl,y occupied by
Recreation Department. Iiowever� if this i�he library le, onr second choice
is the roorn that was formerly occupied by
This youth center should have a temporary board of directors consisting
of six regular members and two ex-officio members. Regular members sha11
be appointed by the iollowing groups: one by the Fridle,y City Council;
one by the Fridley Planning Commission; one b}* the Fridley Human Resources
Commission; and t�ro by the Fridley Youth Project Corrunittee. �e the�F�icile
member shall be appointed by the Fridley City Council and one by Y
Police Department.
The temporary board of directors should serve for not more than 3� da,ys
during which time they will xrite the charter, establish the interim rules
for the youth center and facilitate the election for regular members to
the permanent board, The appointed ex-of£icio members will also serve on the
permanent board.
Administratively, the youth center will be under the auspices of the Parks
and Recreation Department who will assign staff to supervi.se and carry out
the guidelines established by the board of directors.
Cha;rwoman.Wahlberg said the Hvman Resources Commission 8PPrthedYouthrCenterion
and asked the City through the Planning Conmiission to bring
wader the suspices of tha Parks and Recreation Department.

FRIDLEY APPEALS C01�hfISSION MEETING OF APRIL 27t 1976 - PAGE 12
Chairxoman Wahlberg said that another item that came up at the end of t.he �
Planni.ng Commission meeting Was the Goals and Objectives of the Parks and
Recreation Department� which is being called Human Development, She siated
there were five goal areas that the city would consider� and most of them
vere approved in concept but it was felt some of them covld be i.ncorporated
together.
Mr. Barna stated he would like to discuss the code requirinp, garages for new
structures. He said he felt the energies required to build the garage and heat
it were going against the environmental standards. He suggested a carport could
serve the purpose as well. �
Mrs. Gabel said it would be nice for the homes to have more living space� but
she felt there would come a time when the o.mer would request a variance to build
a garage since he might have irro cars, a need for stcrage space� etc.
Chairwoman Wahlberg said she did not agree with t•1r, Barna's statement because
she didn�t think most garages were heated, and she said the argument from an
eavironniental standpoint didn�t hold because the addi�ional part of the home
wonld need just as much resource and energv. 5he added that she thought visual
pollution tirould be created by carports because the siorage space would be exposed.
Chairwoman Wahlberg brought to the Board�s attention page 205-10, numbers 3) and
l�) at the top of the page in the City of Fridley�s Zoning Ordinance� and asked
Mr, Holden iF he could have someone clariPy the difference between a single family •
dwelling unit of a split Ievel design and a two stor•,{ dwelling unit of split
entry design £or the next meeting, rir. Holden sug�ested ii there were t?tree
ehtries; split Ievel� sp7it entry and split £oyer, it would be easier to categorize.
Chaarwoman Wahlberp said she had heard that some time i.n the future all the zoning
ordinances would be reviewed and updated� and possibly re�ariten.
ADJOURTdi•9Ei1T:
Chairwoman Wahlberg adjourned the meeti.ng of the Appeals Commission at 10:lt6 p.m.

�HE CITY COC� f0R ZOtiIPJ�
Mr. Goa�°dn?an stated that in a recent request for a 3.2 beer license for
,� 6ryant Franklin it ceuld not be denied because our z�ninr code dees restrict
the use of 3.2 beer acco�-ding to the use of tP�e propei-ty and does restrict
it according to prop�rty zonin9. Bryani Franl;lin's principal use is a Flea
Marl:et and the serving of b°ering ��rould be a secondary use.
14r. Oquist asked how does use and zoning relate.
i•ir. 6oardman stated it is classification. If you open up and operation of
3.2 beer and the actual operation is 3.2 beei° then the oi�dinance applies.
If the principal operation is something else there is �othing in ou�° ordinance
that a{�p1�ies or permits denial of the license. There is nothing in oui° p��eseni
ordinance that li+nits it to any type of business. �
Ptir. Lindblad stated he could not see �vhere it vras wrong to issue a license to
Bryant Franklin.
Mr. Dergman asl;ed o-rhat kind of license �vas required.
Mr. 6oardman read section G02.03 of the zonin9 code �•;hich states "Wo person
shall vend, deal in or dispose of by 9ift, sale or othei�l:ise, any non-inl:oxicating
n�alt liquor tivithout first having obtained a license to do so fram fihe Council".
Mr. Oquist said we should specify the areas t•afiere it can be used. Do not use the

REVIEt�lAL OF MARY MARTINtS RESI6NATI0N LETTER:
Ms. Sporre read Ms. Martin's resignation letter aloud to the
Commissioners. She stated she did not think it was fair for
14s. t•Sartin to say the Commission had accomplished practically
nothing. Ms. Spo'rre stated she felt environmental awareness
had been shown, especially in the North Park matter. She
also stated she felt Ms. Piartin's comment as to the -total
disagreement within the Comnission was also unfair. Ms. Sporre
added there wi11 be differences in opir�ion in any Commissi.on.
However, she did not feel �hese differences ��ere �nva].id.
Through these differences of opinion, the City C�w�ci]. has the
benefit of knowing both sides af the argumeni:s ar,d c�n; iherefoz�e,
make bettei decisions.
Brather Sullivan explained 'ne felt :it was unfair 'r��r. Ns. Martin
to state the Chairperson, Mr. Langenfeid, },ad fo-r.ced the two
of them into total impasse. He added he cii.d no-C �hare -C},at
same. view. �
REVTE4IAL OF 3.2 BEER LTCENSE RE�UIREMENI'S: �
Mr. Langenfeld stated he did not see much relation between this
ordinance (602 - Beer) and t:he environme»t. He questior,ed as
to whether this item should have been brought to the Environmenta].
Commission.
Mr. Boardman stated the large;:t item lacking in the ordinance
was control. He suggested a�'efinition section be set up as tu
what would classi�y a 3.2 beer operation as a bar -- tavern. He
added the ordinence now states i£ anybody wishes ta set up an
operation which is acces.sory to the pninciple use of the opera-
tion, all they would need would be a license.
Ms. Sporre asked what would constitute graunds for denial.
- Mr. Boa��dman stated there is nothing in the ordinance presently
which says the City Council can deny a license on the grounds
of public nuisance, or anything else for that matter.
Ms. Sporre stated she did not want these operations even 300
feet from cliurches and schools as the ordinance reads. She
added residential areas should be considered also in this impact
radius. She felt thi.s could very easily effect property values.
Mr. Paripovich agreed the ir,tpact radius of an operation such as
this soas Far �reater than 300 feet as stated in �he ordinance.
He add�d a home owner has the ri;;'�t to prefer not.to have a
3.2 beer establishment near his .*.ome.

• Mr. Boardman explained if the property is zoned commercial before
the land is purchased by a prospective home owner, he should be
aware of this before purchasing a home in that area.
Mr. Boardman suggested the following revisions of the ordinance:
(1)-Al1ow these operations in a C-2 district only with a special-
use permit.
(2) Define a bar - tavern, and what type of 3.2 beer operation is
classified as a bar - tavern.
(3) Define where 3.2 beer is allowed (public park, etc.).
(R) Classify what is a secondary use and whether we want to allow
it or not. .
He added, however, "seconclary" and "principle" uses would have
to be deiined extensively in this case.
Mr�. Barna suggested possibiy non-p.rofit or private parties could
be defined. as temporary uses only.
Mr. Parigovich stated he was against giving them this right. He
stated he believed the ordinance should be so stringent that it '.
iwould probably be more practical not to have it at all.
Mr. Langenfeld stated he would like the necessity of special-use
permits applied to every district in the entire city.
�
Mr. Boardman took exception to this. He stated if the ordinance
instututed control, it wouldn't have to be so restrictive. He
added special-use permits are applied to property, not the owners.
Mr. Langenfeld suggested the following partial definition of a
tavern: "The time element where the sale of 3.2 beer on or off
takes place f�'more than ten to fourteen days." �
The Commissioners agreed with this definition as it takes fairs,
etc., into account.
�1) Reclassify a beer and tavern in the zoning code to be
allocaed ir� a C-2 district onlv with a soecial-use
(2) Define what constit�stes a license for a beer - tavern
(3) Other

in this particular request, the ������ petitioner was willing to buy
2��ft. of property on the adjacent property if he wished to, in
�� order to make up a large enough lot size to fall �� in the 25 perceAt
maxi.sum.covergge. Then he/����¢�/ wasn't sure if he wanted to �� go
through with that. Then instead to cut the size of the houae down.
He ended up keeping the same size lot and reducing the size of the house
to ��¢J���/ 964 ft, and going from a double garage to a single one.
Maybe a single car garage is adquate, but if a builder has to build it
that way, then what do you do if a family wants to buy �the house, and
he has 2¢�¢� cars anyways; (said by member) ; then the car would still
be on the streets. Michael said that25 feet, he �� went directly from
the laat meeting and went over and measured it and it was 37 feet.
�� Any further discussion? Mrs . Wahlberg moves that the palnning
commission moves to receive a people's �commission minutes. Seconded
and all voted in favor. Motion carries. Minutes received. April 27,
2976, neat item, �� public hearing rezoning request by Mr./� Robert
DeGardner. �f��/��/�/ Opened at 8:05. made by Mr, Wahlberg and seconded
by Mr. Bergman. All in favor. Public hearinq opened. Jerry Boardman
said that thei property at 6431 Highway 65, is just North of 2 apartmentr,
buildings. Along highway 65, a little background on the lot, pr�or to
1972, same property was R-1 property. In �1973, rezoned to R-3A. Now
request to rezone it to CR-1. Limited business commercial, will profess-
ional type office�S structure only lawyers, doctors, and this type of
thing. Jerry continued, we may be getting 7fpiX involved in some spot-
�rezoning here. I quess there is a serious request as to wh�ether we
should rezone this property if there are �t��yf¢ other commercial office
properties available in the city which we do hawe. By rezoning this
property, we'll be setting an example of corner �6�6��t//��d�/ operations,
now it is a resident�al area. corenr and by approving a rezoning, it
would change it from residential to commercial. Mr. DeGardner looked

at this lot about 2 years ago, and he was thinking about building this
office at thim time because he had an office for about 7 years and he
tried to get ir rezoned,"�e'grew and it bothered�m� because we �ere
forced out to Blaine. He said that you look at the right spot and you
want to build it. He had limited ti.me because he couldn't get it re-
zoned.���� Old office leased expired and 7�6� �¢ �¢ they built a new
building in Slaine. Almost ixitxtmi�c 1008 leased. The lot is situated
so qood for a coaunercial building for high quality professional, it's
zoned multiple now and you can't get financing for the lot.Yhe type
of building will enhanee the area. It will look like some homes he
build. He is building l like it on X��/���/���/ 103rd. It is near
comp¢letion, and it really nice. The layout and elvation of the build-
ing shown by Mr. DeGardner. He � said that there is a lot of commer-
cial to be bonght in Fridlep, but not in the right spot. NOw this is
the right spot, there's � parkinq behind, fron greeneryX�� lined up
with the buildings and it will X� look like an apartment building.
Office hours are 9 to �, maxi.mum. Most will be through at 5:00. Much
nicer than aparffient buildinq for the surrounding neiqh�bors. No�
commercial look, no neon look or anything like that. This � is the
fron elnation shovPn. (¢� shoam on bluepTint) Split entry, design, rear
will be a natural walkout. Make it ideal for the handicapped. Looks
the smae from the back as from the front. The next street view or
backyard is very attractive. DeGarQner realty and denti�ts, and
possibly professional buildings. Question from woman ��/��������� who
lives
riz���zx���x�i�x��i�x���i���������r right behind it/Ts there going to
be anyone lining there at night? Mr. DeGardner ansiered and said no.
There will be no cars there at night, where as if you/� had an apartment
building, you would have poeple there all jlnigh�. Maybe cars on Satar-
days and sundays if for the real estate offices, but that would be all.
Thls is the only building spot in Fridly that will set the building off.

I can see residential to something was is the most attractive commercial
Question raised" Would �� yon fence it off?" answer, "yes"
Jerry Boardman saifl that it wonld be required to fence it off with a
6 foot high cedar fence.��

Mr. Degardner said that it would work ont perfect for handicapped peopie.
Mr. Bergman asked Mr. DeGardner if you built the building for purposes
stated, answered by DeGardner, Mr. Harris said thank you . Mr. Langen-
feld, Anyone else who wishes to speak in favor, (no comment) Anyone
who xishes to speak against it? (one man) "I have been there for 25
years , 25 years ago I was on the Board of Appeals and we used to go
out and examine things like that and that was 1 of the thinl�s we woeuln't
care to do is take commercial and ( name given now) Russell Burres,
1115 Mississippi Street. NE , continued with what he was saying before,
and all the time we would have multiple with something like this, if
geople are going to try to turn, �,'pf¢7�yt¢/����I�/�pf/jd¢ there are going to
be accidents all the time on highway 65. I have lived there for
25 years, I wouldn't want it to go in because then someone alse might want
to go in on the other corner and then the other corner and the tzaffic
thing is really going to be a problem. It is not a service road, it is
a dead end. Mr. Peterson came in now at 8:40 p.m. He is opposed to it
also. "Mr. Chairman,"Mrs. Shea said, " the ��(��/ traffic prohlem could
be solve8 by closing off that entrance if it was rezoned. �"yf¢�`¢/�� Mrs.
Wahlberg, I would like to follow up on that, I see that as a situation sim-
ilar to those people trying to get in on Wickes and Plywood as we said
before, and it is a potential hazard. Peop�e will miss the turn and
slam on their brakes, and it will create a rpoblem. I really see it as a
y! potential problem
turninto that spot
I would be most concerned about people trying to
Bt permitting an�( entrance and exit point, Mr. Harris
it wnuld probably be a rpoblem in any case. y�t�.'��,1/jd�tpl,Yjd¢�`�/�t��(gi,� Mr.
DeGardner,"there will be a sign that can be seen at least half a block
��
yb awap. and it should help the problem. Mrs. Wahlberg, " If this was not
a 55-mile-an-hour highway, there is a problem that we sho�tld concern our
selves with. Question asked, " Is Highway 65 considered a freeway? Mr.
Boardman said no. it is a 4-laue divided hiQhwav. A freewav is a
..... j•..,, . .
PaY� �
limited access type thing. Question again: Well it is coming under
the former years to be a freeway. this is what I was told years ago.
Mr. Harris said, "IS there anybody elso in the audience who wishes to
speak in the matter?" I came down here firmly against it, said one man.
(owner of apartments) AND I thought it �1ji���X�T should be a residential
area only. In the next couple of years, rents are going to be moveing
up and fast. Be¢cause which just been able to make ends meet, becuase
all of our expenses have gone up so �¢¢ within the next 2 years the numbers
are going to be right so they can ??? Your in a residental area and you hav
got a lot of traffic, and there �y is going to be problems there. I
would rather see some sort of residential units. If your'e going to
bend the rules, let them come out with 13 or 14. fy1�`,! Then the older man
interrupted agina, (Mr. Burres) As i was saying, I have lived there for
z5 years, and I am retired and if this thing come in, i would have to move
out. Would't this type of stuff push the property value down?
Mr. Harris: This particular peice of property is zoned R-3, it is R-3.
"I think if �d most of the people are concerned about this ton�ight, I wish
you'd qo down and see the building I am building and see it."(said by
Mr. DeGarnder). The �buildings I have built around Fridly with this type
of roof are really looking nice, and I think you would be impressed.
Mr. Harris �( said," Jerry, what does the comprehensive plan say?"
Jerry said, I can see all points of view being brought up tonight." Mr.
Harris said, " Is ther anything else?" Daes anyone else �6y(��p( wish to
speak on this?" Mr. Bergman asked"�erry, can you refresh my memory , I
would like to reconfirm the zoning all around this piece of property:'
Answered: The property to the north if R-1; �}i to the east is R-1.
The property directly south is R-2, across the 9��ghway (65) is R-1,

then south of that a sky shop and then �outh of that ga� station that is
closed now. And those are in com^�ercial zones. C-2. Skyshop some
commerical Mr. Bergaan ¢'}��(y1# said, On the Delwood siad is all R-1, all the
way. Mr. Gergman, who maintans the service drive? Is that part of the
city , Jerry said, under state right of way. I believe so, Probably
city polwed, Mr. Sergman, it is a�,Y�I/ natural service road. in my
opinion . �yti/.t�J��v�m���/�i!/�d�x8zt�$i'-�ffi�1a�`�xt��s4�/xf�Xi���t+s�/a�,Gg/�!$���x
In m� opinion, it is substandard, and now in need of some kind of mainten-
ance. Mr. Harris, I think it is an access for the snowplows. Mr. Bergf�
man siad, "Would you feel it is under the state's jurisdiction?"
I yf think that �4 if we approve this particular rezoning, we might get our
seives into something ��f�: that we are starting something we couldn't
stop. and therefore, it is going to be a problem yb��'pf which would be
some spot-rezoning. Mr. Bergman siad," Mr. Chairman, one other point
i am �d�`¢�¢yljC¢�l gSf¢��¢gT/�b,i'yfy/�pf¢/��,�X�lj.'}i� impressed with the building,
and we are concerned with a rezoning request. and to my knowledqe, the
request is rezoning and also to my knowledge proposed plot plan or a
building rendition is not legally binding as a part of rezoning request. x
Is that �y(�E¢ true? " Mr. xarris said, It can be stipulated as such.
Mr. Bergman siad, I guess T'm not aware that that's legal ... Jerry
Boardman left at this point, for awhile. (9:00 p.m.) %f7�//Ft�t�i/T��¢/
One �oman- said that she is not against this building, but if it was
going to be put up = and then have more commarcilization come in, then
she was against that. Mr. Haris siad, " If there is no-one elso wishing
to comment on this, then it is in order to pfx close it." p'i,l Mr. Bergman
moved that the discussion be started on the matter. Mr. Wahlberg:
"I think that this is a nery attractive building and it ���( ��(f�t/ should
be built in Fridly, ��� and it is ¢� something that the community needs,
but I nave a difficult time , I have/�'�`�7�X�E trouble with the tra�¢ffic
page 9
Mr. Langenfeld : It is true that this would enhance it, and I am not
in favor, �'jI¢}¢ Mr'• Petezson: No comment, Mrs. Shea, I would worry
abour pressures on adjoining property. Mr. Bergman, I agree with the
comments made. I was impressed with Mr. DeGardner's proposed plan, and i�k
was impressed with pl his presentation however, T have the same reservat-
ions that have been voiced and as a result, I would XK like to make a
motion that the planning commission recommend denial of the requesting
�`¢�6/ rezoning and the concerns here. Mr. Harris;" Would you let me
discuss it before you make your motion?" Mr. Harris said I would like to
say that I agree with all ;�M of the above. I would ¢¢�` certainly like
to see the building built in Fridley and I would like to see Mr. DeGardner
move his operation to Fridley. He's done an admirable job, I agree with
the rest of the planning commission about this particular piece of �Sk�`
property. I certainly understand his reasoning and his feeling for
wangint to rezone it. xowever, I don't think it is in the best of the ��
coaanunity for it to be rezoned from R-3 . Also it would be spot
rezoning, which ��/ is aqainst city policg: I guess wiht that it would
be in order to have motion, Mr Bergman, said Mr. Chairman, I would like to
move that the glanning commission recommend denail to the rezoning request.
( all voting on tape). 1��/l�¢�`��Y��K� �d certainly including potential
traffic problems at the access to highway 65, there is a/�i¢g}/ motion /
Mr. Langenfeld seconded � the motion. Mrsu Wahlberg would like to add that
she hopes that Mr. DeGardner can find another lot and she thinks it
would be an asset to the community. Mz. Bergman, I would like to add to ,�y,
that. I think tihe kind of �(�'�,�}/ activi�ies would also be a benefit. �fgfyl/
Mr. DeGardner, added about looking for a good piece of ��€ property, and
that it would be �ylySpi,( a perfect lot for his purposes in mind. Mr.
Langenfeld said, I would like to ,�yl,i indicate to Mr. DeGardner
page 10
that 2 hope that he realized that many times they have this type of thing
brought before them and it really becomes a major problem If there is no�
further comments is it then motioned for denial. All in favor, except for
Mr. langenfeld. Motion carried. Mr. Harris said to make sure that
Mr. DeGardner recieves a copy of the minutes and the reasons why he was
denied rezoning �j+f� of the psoperty. Denied because they do not � feel it
serv,�es the best interests of the community. Closed at 9:16 p.m. Mr.

RECEIVE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION MINUTES: APRIL 20, 1976
Mr. Langenfeld asked if anyone on the Planning Commission wanted
clarification of the Environmental Quality Comnission minutes of the
March 23, 1976 meeting. He said that the minutes as written didn't
really represent what was said about the stand taken by some of the
members of the Planning Commission on including East River Road in
the Critical Area Corridor.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that it sounded like she was ant9-East River
Road, but she would discuss this with Mrs. Sporre personally. She
was happy to see that the East River Road Project Committee was moving
along in the right direction.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Langenfeld why they had tabled their recomnendation
on Leigh Terrace? He said it was his understanding that this item would be
fiandled as quickly as possible so this recommendation could go through the
Planning Commission to the Council for the Public Hearing by them on May lOth.
Mr. Langenfeld expTaiined that he had asked that his Commission look at this
plat just because of their interest in development along East River Road.
There was discussion by the members of the Planning Commission that due to
the new structure of the Planning Comnission, they didn't think any of the
member Commissions should make recarmiendations directly to the Council.
Mr. Langenfeld brought to the attention of the Ptanning Commission a
motion that was made on page 6 of these minutes. He said the motion was ;
"....recommend to the Planning Comnission the adoption of Chapter 70 of
the Uniform Building Code as a replacement for the present Chapter 212,
known as the Minin+� Ordinance, and that any ps�oposed ordinance be brought
back to the Environmental Quality Commission prior to being submitted to
the City Council for its approval."
Mr. Boardman said this would be on the next Planning Comnission agenda.

MOTI'ON by Langenfeld, seconded by Wahlberg, that the Planning Commission
receive the minutes of the ApriL 20, 2976 meeting of the Environmental Quality
Comrrussion. Upon a voice vote, aIl voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Boardman said the next item on the agenda should have been to receive
Parks & Recreation Comnission minutes, but they haven't been completed because
the items or the agenda of the April 26th meeting were not completed, and they
had another meeting on May 3rd to complete their agenda. He sai�d there were
items discussed at these meetings that were going to be going to Council, so
they should be discussed, but he thought they should wait until Bob Peterson,
the Chairman of the Parks & Recreation Camnission arrived for this meeting.
MOTION by Bergman, seconded by Shea, that the Planning CoTrmeission deZay
their discussion on the items from the Parks s Recreation Cozmnission meetings
of ApriZ 26th and May 3rd untiZ later on in the �eting. Upon a voice vote,
a11 voting aye, the motion carrie8 unanimously.
RECEIVE APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES: APRIL 27, 1976
Mrs. Wahlberg clarified some discussion on a variance request for
1411 Kerry Circle. Mr. Mike 0'Bannon, who was in the audience for another
item on the agenda, said that the statement he made in these minutes was
correct, because he had gone out right after the Appeals Cortanission and
measured it, and it was 37 feet from the curb to the garage, on the lot they
had been discussing at that time.
Mrs. Wahlberg explained what Mr. Uillella had decided on his request to
construct a home on a 40' lot. Mr. Harris asked if the City Council had
come up with any recarmendations on 40' lots. Mr. Boardman said that they
had discussed this at their workshop meetingon April 26th, and basically
agreed with the recommendations of the Planning Comnission. They said that
each lot had to be considered on its own merits.
MOTION bg Wah2berg, seconded bg Langenfeld, that the PZanninq Cormnission
receive the minates of the ApriS 27, 1976 Appeals Comrtu:ssion meeting. Upon a
voice vote, a1I voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
1. PUBLIC HEARIN6: REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #76-02 BY ROBERT D. DEGARDNER:
Rezone the South 150 feet, front and rear of Lot 9> and the West 47 feet
of the South 120 feet of Lot 10, Auditor's Subdivision No. 88, from R-3A
(apartment and multiple dwellings district), to CR-1 (general office arid
limited businesses), the same being 6431 H�ghway #65 N.E.
Mr. Robert DeGardner was present.
MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded bg Bergman, that the PZanning Couanission open
the Public Hearing on the rezaning request, ZOA #75-02, by Robert D. DeGardner.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Chairman Harris dec2ared the PubZic Hearing
open at 8:05 P.M.
Mr. Boardman said that this property was just North of the apartments
on Highway #65, and South of the apartments was a ski shop, with a gas station
on the corner. All the four corners at Mississippi and Highway #65 were
residential. He said the property that Mr. DeGardner was making the rezoning
request on had been zoned residential (R-1) until 1972, when in was rezoned to
Planninq Coimnission Meeting - May 5, 1976 Page 3
R-3A, for apartments. He said tfiis request for CR-1 zoning, which was
for general offices and limited businesses. which 9imited tfie occupancy
of the proposed 6uilding to offices for real estate, lawyers, medfc�l,,�.dental,
optical, clinics and apothecary shops, and harmless and inoffensive laboratories
accessory to the permitted uses in the same building.
Mr. Boardman said that he had some serious reservations about the
approval of this request. He said that in the first place, it would be
spot rezoning. The second concern he had was that this area still had
a residential atmosphere, and rezoning this property would set a precedence
for commercial development in this area. He said there had already been
pressure put on people owning R-1 property on these four corners to sell
their property for comnercial development, and if this rezoning was approved,
that pressure would increase.
Mr. Defardner said that he had been looking at this property for about
two years. The reason he wanted to construct a building for offices at this
time was because his lease was running out on the office he had leased in
Blaine. He said that he had previously tried to rezone his residence in
Fridley to comnercial, because fie had his real estate office in his home at
that time. He said he could see why that rezoning request was turned down,
but he felt this rezoning request was different, because this was a perfect
site for a coimnercial building. He said he had outgrown the office facility
in the home he had owned on East River Road, so he had 5old this home and
now lived in Innsbruck. This site would be very convenient from his present
home. He said that he preferred to have his office in Fridley, rather than
Blaine. He said that this property was presently zoned for apartments, but
you couldn't get financing for apartments at this time. He presented plans
for the building he proposed to build on this lot, and said this building
would enhance the area. He said he realized there were some other commercial
areas in Fridley, but there was no commercial area available whe�e the
building would blend in as well. He said he was constructing this same
building on 103rd and University Avenue Extension, which was 30 days from
completion. He invited the Planning Cortmission and the people from this
area to go out and look at that building, so they could see what type of
construction he was talking about. He said this building in Blaine was built
on a flat piece of ground, and this 6uilding on the site in Fridley would be
bui1t as a walk-out, so it would be even more attractive on this lot. He said
the building would 6e 1��' x 40', two story, and would be all brick with a
mansard roof. He said that 1� would be at about the same elevation as the
apartments next to this site, and wouid be a walk-out in the rear, the same
as the apartment buildings. He felt that this proposal would disrupt the
neighborhood less than another apartment building, because tfie occupancy would
be limited to a working day, rather than 24 hours a day that there would be
in an apartment building. He said the fact that this building was a walk out
in the rear would make it easy to meet the handicap requirements. He said this
was the only building site in Fridley that would really set the building off.
Mr. DeGardner said there would be a six foot cedar fence on three sides of the
site. He said this would be what is known as a free standing building, that
could be partitioned as the tenan�s rented space. He said his own company
would be using about 1/4 of the building which would have 4,000 square fieet
on each floor, a total of 8,000 square feet. He said there was a great need
in Fridley for a building for professional people. He had inquiries all the
time from people looking for commercial office space.
Mr. DeGardner said that he had built many quality homes in Fridley, and
Planning Comnission Meetina - May 5, 1976 Page 4
this commercial building would be the same calibre. Mr. Harris said that he
knew that Mr. DeGardner had built some nice homes in his area.
Mr. Arnold Elmquist, 8140 Long Lake Road, said that he owned the three
apartment buildings South of the site in question. He said that he had always
been in favor of this site staying residential, but he was inpressed with the
building that Mr. DeGardner was proposing. He said he would rather see another
apartment building on this site however.
Mr. DeGardner said that if this property remained zoned R-3A, it would
probably sit vacant for another ten years, because there just wasn't financing
available for apartment buildings. He said this site was only large enough
for an eleven unit apartment, and the numbers just wouldn't work out, as far
as for investment purposes. He said that if this property was developed as
commercial, you can get higher rent for commercial offices, so the numbers would
work out. Mr. Elmquist said that he would rather see a variance granted to
allow a 14 unit apartment on this site, than to see it be rezoned to commercial.
He said he felt the rent structures would be changing in the near future, so
the financing picture would change too.
Mr. Harris asked if this lot and proposed building met all the requirements
of CR-1 zoning? Mr. DeGardner said there was an 150 foot frontage on this lot
and his building would be 100' x 40'. He said the side yards would be 15'
and 35' on the side of the building next ta the apartments. He said there
abuld 6e a 20' driveway on the 35' side. There would be 28 parking stalls.
Mr. Boardman said this proposal meets all the zoning requirements.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked about the access to this site and if it would have
direct access to Highway #65 or would they have to use the service drive
down at the corner of 63rd. Mr. De6ardner said they would be using the
service drive. Mrs. Wahiberg said she was concerned about people traveling
North of Highway #65 at 55 miles per hour and looking for this building.
She wondered if it would need a right turn lane?
Mrs> Eugene Lane, 1132 Mississippi, said they had been approached many
times about selling their property, so that they could rezone it to another
use. She asked Mr. Boardman if he had any idea what use their property would
be put to, if they sold it. Mr. Boardman said it would be hard to say, because
that would be up to the person petitioning for rezoning. This was one of the
concerns he had, that if this rezoning was approved, more pressure would be
put on the present owners of R-1 property to sell their property so it could
be rezoned to another use.
Mr. Langenfeld said that he thought tfie residents in the area should be
aware that sometimes a multiple dwelling could be more unpleasant in a residential
area than this type of an office building. He stressed what kind of occupancy
would be allowed in this building if it was zoned coimnercial.
Mr. Russell Burris, 115o Mississippi Street N.E., said that he had lived
in this area for 25 years, and if caianercial development was coming into this
area, he would sell his home, because he wanted the area to stay residential.
He said that years ago he had been a member of the Board of Appeals, and they
would never have allowed a comnercial venture in a residential neighborhood.
He said he was glad to see that the Planning Commission was concerned about
the traffic generated by this proposal.
Planning Cortmission Meetin9 - May 5, 1976 Page 5
Mr. Peterson arrived at the Planning Commission meeting at 8:40 P.M.
Mrs. Shea said that if the people who wanted to visit this building had
to take the service drive, she thought this would eliminate some of the
traffic problems. Mrs. Wahlberg said she felt it could be a situation like
had 6een created with Wickes and Plywood. People would be traveling 55 miles
arc,_.hour on HighwaEy #65, drive past this building, and then create a traffic
haiard when they tried to find the entrance to the building. Mr. De6ardner
said that a sign could be placed at the entrance of the service drive, and
he felt that this would eliminate a lot of the traffic problem. Mrs. Wahlberg
said that if this building wasn't on such a heavy traveled highway, she
wouldn't be as concerned about the traffic situation.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman how this area was treated in the Comprehensive
Plan. Mr. Boardman said it was recomnended that this area remain residential.
Mr. Bergman said that it was his concern that if this rezoning request
was approved, we would be getting into a situation that couldn't be stopped,
and the area might completely change. He said this spot rezoning could have
far-reaching effects. He questioned if the proposed building could be tied
into this rezoning request. Mr. Harris said it could 6e, if it was so
stipulated.
Mrs. R. L. Anderson, 6428 Dellwood Drive, said she had no objection to
this proposed building, or its use, but she would be opposed to mor,e of the
area being rezoned from R-1.
Mrs. Wahlberg said that she thought this was a very attractive building
and that it should be built in Fridley because it was something our comnunity
needs, but she felt that she could not approve of the rezoning of this
particular site, mostly because of the concerns she had with the traffic
situation.
Mr. Langenfeld said that he had to agree with Mr. DeGardner that this
proposed building would probably enhance the area, but it was still spot
rezoning, which was against City policy.
Mr. Peterson said he did not wish to make any comnent on this proposal.
Mrs. Shea said that her primary concern was the additional pressures that
would be put on the adjoining property owners to sell their property for
rezoning.
Mr. Bergman said that he agreed with the comments that had been made, but
he was very impressed with Mr. DeGardner's proposed building, and with his
presentation. Mr. Harris said he also agreed with all the comments. He said
that he would like to see this �uilding constructed in Fridley, and he would
like Mr,. DeGardner to be able to work in Fridley. He said that he had done
an admirable job in making his presentation, and he could understand that Mr.
DeGardner felt this was an ideal location for this commercial building, but
he felt it wasn't in the best interests of the community to approve rezoning
this property from the present R-3A zoning.
MOTION by Bergrra3n, seconded by Wahlberg, that the Planning Commission
close the Public Hearing on rezoning request, ZOA #76-02, by Robert DeGardner.
Planninq Comnission Meeting - May 5, 1976 Page 6
Upon a voice vote, a11 vottng age, Chairman Ha�ris declared the Public Hearing
cZosed atr 9:05 P.M.
M17TION by Bergman, seconded by Langenfeld, that the Planning Commission
recommend to Counci2 denial of the request for rezoning, ZOA li76-02, by
Robert D. DeGardner, to rezone the South I50 feet, front and rear, of Lot
9, and the West 47 feet of the South 120 feet of Lot Z0, Avd�tor"s Sabdivision
No. 88, from R-3A (apartment and mu2tip2e dweZZings district) to CR-I (general
office.and Iimited businesses), the same being 6431 Highway #65 N.E. for
the fol2owing reasons:
1. This wouZd be spot rezoning.
2. Sf this rezoning request was approved, additional pressare would
be put on adjoining propez'ty owners to rezone their property, and
change the residential character of the area.
3. The additional traffic problems created with coffinerciaZ use in
this area.
4. This pmposal contrazy to ovr approved Comprehensive Plan, and
would not be in the best interests of the colrmrunity.
5. Because of the objections of the adjoining property owners.
Upon a voice vote, Shea, Bergman, Harris, Wah2berg, Langenfeld voting aye,
Peterson nag, the motion carried.
Mrs� Wahlberg told Mr. DeGardner that she hoped he could find another
site in Fridley to construct this building, 6ecause it would be an asset
to the comnunity and the type of building that Fridley has a need for.
Mr. De6ardner said he thought that he had found the perfect site for this
building. Mr. Langenfeld said that he felt this was a good proposal also,
but the Planning Commission had to consider the City as a whole unit, and
there could be major problems with the rezoning of this property.
Chairman Harris asked the secretary to make sure that Mr. DeGardner
got a copy of these minutes.
2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT, P:.S. #76-04,
HEATHER HILLS THIRD ADDITION, BV MIKE E. 0'BANNON: Being a rep1at
of Lat 23, Auditor's Subdivison No. 22, that was not already platted

Hills Second Addition and West of Rice Creek Estates Second Addition.
Mr. Mike 0'Bannon was present.
MOTION bg Bergman, seconded by Wahlberg, that the P2anning Corrmussion
upen the Public Hearing on a preZiminary plat, Heather Hi2IS Third Addition,
by Mike S. O'Bannon. Upon a voice vote, aIZ voting age, Chairman Harris
declared the Public Hearing open at 9:16 P.M.
hM. 0'Bannon said that �11 the lots would exceed the 9,OOO,square foot
requirement for residential lots. He said the lots were eompara'bl�o the
lots in the other Heather Hi1Ts addition. There was a 50 ft. right of way
for the streets, and the streets wouTd be 36' from curb to curb. He said
he had been working closely with the Engineering Department on this plat,
and everything was as it should be.
Planning Comnission Meeting - May 5, 1976 Page 7
The Planning Comnission hadn't seen the plat before the meeting, so
they all checked their half section maps to determine the exact location of
the plat.
Chairman Harris asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to
speak on this plat. There was no response.
MOTION by Langenfeld, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning Coumvssion
close the Public Hearing on a pre2imi.nary plat, Reather HiI1s Third Addition,

located South of Heafher HilIs Second Addition and West of Rice Creek Estates
Second Addition. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimouslg.
Chairman Harris declared a recess at 9:30 P.M. and reconvened the Planning
Cortmission meeting at 9:50 P.M.
REYIEW OF PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETINGS OF APRIL 26FH ANQ MAY 3RD, 1.976
Mr. Peterson said the reason that the Planning Cortrnission hadn't received
the minutes fran the April 26th meeting was because the Parks & Recreation
Cortmission had been requested at 9:30 to cane to the Council workshop meeting,
so our agenda wasn't completed until May 3, 197�. He said they had discussed
with the Council recreation in the City of fridley, the direction they shouid
take on a new Director for the Parks & Recreation Department, and a proposal
by the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation.
Mr. Boardman said he didn't know if the Planning Comnission wanted to
get too involved with the nature center, but the Parks & Recreation Commission
did make a recommendation on the teen center.
Mr. Peterson said the Parks & Recreation Ca�m�ission voted not to concur
with the recomnendation from the Human Resources Comnission, for several
reasons. One of the reaso�s was that while the young people felt that this
proposal should be under the Parks & Recreation, but they didn't recomnend
that anyone from the Parks & Recreation Commission should be on the Board
of Governor's, although that wasn't the reason that they didn't concur with
the original proposal. He said the Park & Recreation Department did not have
the personnel or budget to handle this proposal. There were several Comnissioner's
who felt this would be duplieation of services and there could be potential
or duplication of services in the "Y" moves out to this area. They asked ��e
young group to get in touch with the Northeast Y and find out the status of
their program and see if a workable solution could be made with their facility
and their intended use. Another reason for their decisio� was that the Park
& Recreation Comnission did not feel that the room that was being asked for
could be vacated or that the library room should be used for that purpose.
Those were the reasons we voted not to accept the recommendation of the Numan
Resources Comnission.
Mr. Boardman said that another item that had been before the Parks &
Recreation Commission was on tax forfeit property. Mr. Peterson said this
Planning Commission Meeting - May:5,, 1976 Page 8
was a proposal to red tag some tax forfeit lots to park development so
they weren`t put on the tax forfeiture sa7e. He said he couldn't give
the Planning Comnission all the tocations at this time, but there were
six or seven parcels of property. He said the Parks & Recreation Comnission
voted to accept the Springbrook Nature Center as presented, with four more
stipulations which were: 1. An additional 10% (Or $5,400) budgeted for
contingency before approval of this plan is given. 2. $2,OD0 for maintenance
costs that may be reimbursed by the Foundation back to the City, be escrowed
before our construction. 3. The City should protect itself, under provisions
of accepting this or any other plan, from the City having to operate this
at the City's expense on a continuing basis. 4. That the Parks & Recreation
Director's time under no circumstances be allocated to Springbrook Nature
Center. Mr. Peterson said there was also a proposal for a sign, which he
noticed was approved at the Council meeting on May 3rd. He said he didn't
agree that the City could put up any type sign they pleased because there
was nothing in the sign ordinance about government signs, but he was outvoted.
He said he didn't know if this was a conforming sign or not. Mr. Boardman
said that all it says in the sign ordinance was that any sign that the City
might want to have had to be approved by the City Council. Mr. Peterson
said that it was his interpretation that because the land in North Park
still belonged to the City, this was the reason the development plans had
to be reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Comnission so that any development
wouldn't be at cross-purposes with aRy p1aRS this Cortanission or the Planning
Comnission and Council might have.
Mr. Harris said that he felt that action from these meetings should be
delayed until the Planning Comnission had the actual minutes, because if
seemed like this Commission had covered a lot of material at these meetings.
He said he was particularly interested in the red tagging of tax forfeiture
lots. Mr. Boardman said he would have the maps for the next meeting.
Mr. Peterson asked if there were any ather questions, because he did
6eve to leave the meefing. Mr. Harris said he was excused, and Mr. Peterson
left the meeting at 10:05 P.M.
3. REVIEW 3.2 BEER LICENSE REQUIREMENTS
Mr. Boardman said the City Council had asked the Planning Comnission
to review the 3.2 beer license requirements because they thought the requirements
were quite weak. He sa9d this ordinance had been reviewed by most of the
member Comnission's and there recomnendations were in the agenda. There was
discussion on all the commission's recortmendations, but Mr. Berg�nan felt that
the four recomnendations by the Comnunity Development Coimnission encompassed
all of them. Mrs. Wahtberg questioned the feasibility of putting this under
a special use permit requirement, but it seemed to be the consensus of opinion
that this would give the City more control along with the annual renewal of
a beer license. The four recorrefiendations from the Comnunity Development
Comnission were: Restrict the 6eer tavern licensing to C-2-or C-2S districts.
2. Require a special use permit for additional control. 3. The definition
or a tavern include any beer sale operation intending to operate over any 6
day consecutive period or more than 6 days during any 6 month peniod. and, 4.
Temporary beer sale operation can be allowed only with Council approval.
Mrs. Shea pointed out to Mr. Boardman how the sexual bias ed language could
Planning Commission Meeting - May 5, 1976 Page 9
be taken out of this ordinance. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman to rewrite tha
3.2. beer ordinance requirements into a proposed ordinance change using the
recomnendations made at this meeting. so the Planning Comnission could review
this at their next meeting.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Mr. Boardman said these were the same recomnendations the Planning Comnission
had looked at their last meeting.
MOTION bg Shea, seconded by Wahlberg, that the Planning Co�ission table
their reco�mendation on Hvman Deve2opment Goals and Objectives vnti2 they have
more inforroation. Upon a voice vote, aZZ voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
�S. RE-EVALUATION OF STREET LAYOUT NEAR NORTH PARK (PETITION 8-1976)
MOTION bg Langenfeld, seconded by Bergman, that the P3,anning Coimnission
receive Petition 8-1976, which was a request for street cZarification on
Ironton Street and Ashton Avenue in the vicinity of 83rd Street. Upon a voice
vote, a1Z voting aye, the motion carried unanimoas2y.
Mr. Boar�mman said the City Council had sent this down to the Planning
Comnission.
MOTION by Langenfe2d, seconded by Bergman, that this petition (8-1976)
be referred to the Environmenta2 Qua3ity Conmiission and the Co�nity Development
Commission for review before the Planning Corr¢nission makes their recot�+endation.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman to give the member Gommissions and the
Planning Comnission any other pertinent information that would help them
in making a recortmendaion on this petition.
ADJOURNMENT:
MOTION by Bergm3n, seconded by Langenfeld that the meeting be adjourned.
Upon a voice vote, aII voting aye, Chaira+an Harris declared the PZanning
