He indicated that �. basically the City lacked a standard criteria for stategic distribution of funds that r�ere ava.ilable for the Parks and Recreation Systems development. Mr. Bob Peterson pointed out that the City belonged to the citizens and they ��iere the ones that r�ould use the Parks and Recreation systems and they snould be the most important concern. Mr. Boarc�man said that rrhat rras planned vras to develon a long-range blan for the Park System. He said that the City needed something to move to�:rards for tne future. Mr. Boardman said tha.t there r�ere several items brought out under the "Objective" oortion of the Plan that relate to Citizen participation and the need for citizen participation, Ms. Schnabel asked ho,°r auch of the Plan tr�as influencec? by the factors of the economics of the population, the aoe population, and rrhat the trends titere. t4r. Boardman said that vrhat hzd to be looked at in the development of a Park System sras the flexibility of the park. He said that they ti•�ould develop a systera flexible enougn � to make cnanges t;�ithout a great coste He said that the � parks should be able to be utilized by all age levels. Pir. Bob Peterson said that in a oractical sense it rras not that great of a proble�a because so many of the parcels of land e�ere of such a size that there trtouldn�t be that much that could be done vrith ther�. He said that there �vere relatively fet� areas that r�ould fit into a total City picture as far as being used as a Park System. Mr. Boardman said that the Planning Cor�mission should discuss the Parks and Open Space Plan. He said that the first three sections i•�ere basically clear and not much that could be challenged, He felt that the discussion should begin at Section y, Swnmary of Findings. Mr. Bergman i��anted to kno�� if the Parks Departraent eras promoting this Plan or �ras the City promoting it. rtr. Bob Peterson said that it c�as basically put to�ether for funding purposes. He said that the Parks & Recreation Commission helped in laying doevn a planning tool. He said that rauch of their time had been spent on the Plan, Iie said that the Commission bembers had not gone throu�h all 13 of the neighborhoods to decide step-by-steg exactly � i�rhat should happen in each neighborhood as to the Park t System. PLANNING COMMISSION MP�TfNG - OCTO��R 5 1977 Pa�e 4 P4r. Ber�man asked if the Parks & Recreation Commission had reviecred the plan in detail� Mr. Bob peterson said that three meetings had been spent discussing the PIan, He said that the Commission had not � entirely decided on every issue in the Plan. Mr. Bergman �vanted to knoi�� if the Plan was a Specific Plan or just a General Plan. ' Mr. Boardman said that rrhen Staff �vent through the Plan, they difl go thxough aZl the parks and facilities and did do a lot of concents plans. He said that riith the development oP a Parks and Recreation Plan� there s•rould be actual detail dravJings of each of the roark areas. He said that r�kat vras intended iras to go to each of the nei�hborhoods and hold neighborhood meetings and have discussions ���ith the neighborhoods and develop a pla.n for a neighborhood park facility and set up a booklet on each of the neighborhood park faciliiies. He said that a Public Hearing t�rould be planned for each neighborhood park facility, Mr. Bob peterson felt that the Plan tivas actually a Staff recommendation, He didn�t feel that the Parks & Recreation Commission or Parks Director had been that Much involved in terms of the rahole program. Mr, Boardman said that the Parks & Recreation Director had been invo].ved in the development of the Summary of Findings and in the implementation phases of the Park Plan. �c Mr. Bergman said that he had had the general impression that the Parks & 8ecre�.tion Commission tvould spend a considerable amount of time on the Park Plan. He said that he had recently gotten the impression tliat the Parks & Recreation Commission had not spent the time that would have been needed for the Plan. t4r. Boardman said that the Plan was a general guideline for the development of a parks and recreation system. ?ie said that the specific details of design v�ould be presented at a Iater date. He sald it tivouZd be an implementation phase of the Program. t4r, Bergman said that there was a plan for every park in the Plan. He was concerned about those plans. Mr. Boardman explained that they raere concept plans. He said they indicated vrork that Staff had done rrhen they tvent out to the parks. He said that the plans tvere meaningful to Staff as far as giving them an idea of vrhat was in the park and what concept could be developed for that park. He said that the actual plans lvould only come about after considering citizenry input. � �-v-a PLRNNiNG CO1�R�IISSION t4r�TING - OCTOBER�, 1977 Pa�e 5 Mr. Bob Peterson e�cplained that at a Parks & Recreation Commission meeting it had been decided that there would be no detailed plans for any park until the Commission had � its input and that the citizenry innut eras in the plan. He said that the Plan v�as presently an overall olanning tool but that specifics had not been added to it. 2here was a brief disucssion regarding several grants, Mr. Bergman indicated that the Communi�y Development Commission had discussed the Parks and Open Space Plan at their July 26� 197'], meeting, He r�anted to kno�v lvhat happened to the reconmendations made by that Commission regarding the Parks Plan. Ghairperson Harris said that as the discussion car.ie to the items that the Commissions had discussion, it ti�tould be up to the representative of thzt Commission to input their ideas, I�ir. Bergman tivanted to knoer if the recommendat? or_s made by the Planning Commission rrould be included into the Plan. Mr. Boardman said that if they got the innut before the minutes rrould have to go to City Council, then usually the reconmendations would be included. I�Ir. F3ergman expressed much concern that had been indicated at the Community Development Cor�mission that � it disagreed ti�rith the sizing of the neighborhoods, He said that one of their recommendations had been that neighborhood areas be revie1�ed for uniformity in size, population, and natura]. barriers. He used the example that five separate neighborhoods Aut together took uro less area than neighborhood 13, His concern was that to some extent the identification of an area as a neighborhood i=tould have some effect on the attention it got on the amount of park area or the funding or the grouping of a neighborhood representation. He felt that the delineation of neighborhoods ���as most unequitable. hiuch discussion resulted from Mr, Bergman's statement. Pir. Bob Peterson pointed out that the Project Committees that had been set uro had not have that comnlaint. He said that the Committee had not been concerned about the problem that 44r. Bergman and Community Development felt existed. � PLATTNING CONIMISSIOid 1�(F.ETING - OCTOBER 5, 1977 Pa�e 6 MOTION by Mr. Bergman, seconded by P4s.

Ber�man said. that there was bound to be disaarities vJhen existing areas �vere inventoried. He said that one of the purposes of'inventory vras to adjust disparities. Ms. Schnabel sa_id that possibly the rolan �•ras to increase the acreage for parks c�here possible to make it more equitable in the neighborhoods. Mr. Bergman said that since it cras a long-range Plan he felt thzt if there erere errors in the Plan, the time to correct those errors r�ere in the beginning. iie also said that the ourpose for revieriing the Plan v�us to try to ir�nrove the Plan.

Chairperson Harris read the Objective 1 in Section t�, Summary of Findings: Develop an order of quality park facilities that vrill be flexible to the chan�ing needs of the community. Mr. Bergman said that the Finding ��Most of Fridley�s parks are lacking in those elements of landscape architecture (ie, trees, shrubs� shade� interesting use of ;rading) that enhance a park's recreational value" could result in too much landscaping to the extent that it might not be functional . for active sports such as playing ball.

"The various organizations ��rhich have recommended standards for 1ot size and house size do not recommend standards for garages. These organizations have �ecommended standards for d.ensity or lot size and house� size because they have z clear relationship to the protection of health and safety. Garages do not have as c].ear a relationship to the rorotection of health and safety. Although �ar�ges are a desirable amenity, particularly in the I�finnesota cliMate, they are not a necessity. Garages are an accessory structure £or the purpose of convenience. The elimination of a garage reaui�er�ent is one o£ the Most obvious taays to provicle for reducing the initial cost of a house.�� Chair�erson FIarris felt that the Planning Cor�mzssion did consider Gara�es having a clear relationship to the protection of health and safety.

He said that it had. been stated in the booklet that the purpose of this item was to make recommendations on vaays to supply modest cost housing. He said that they vrere Iooking at ways to simply cut the costs of housing, Mr. Bob Peterson said that he felt the report had addressed the same issues that Fridley cuas c�ncerned �vith only they had reached different conclusions than the City of Fridley. Mr. Boardman pointed out that some of the recommendations were to a.11ow smaller lot sizes, smaller house sizes, and dropping the garage requirements, Chairperson Harris said that the Advisory a"tandards for Land Use Regulation tivould be closely considered rrhen the Planning Commission <<rent over the Zoning Codes in November, Ae said that cities should carefully study their land usages to enhance modest cost housing.

STATED HARDSHIP A hardship exists to applicant since applicant cannot expand their business without adding onto the existing building, and inability to add on to the business and expand would create an economic hardship. This request for extension is made because Dennis L, Barker, Robert D. Byrne and Aelen C. Byrne commenced an action in the Anoka District Court requesting that Court to declare the action of the City Council of Fridley null and void in granting said variance to the applicant herein. Applicant has at all times since the granting of said variance been ready, willing and able to proceed � to complete the work in question, but has not been able to proceed because of said lawsuit. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEtiV: The enclosed survey of 6005 University Avenue 1V,E. shows both the existing and proposed structure locations, The alley to the East is 12 foot in tividth and has been vacated, so that 6 feet of the alley is considered to belong to M& I Supply Company. The proposed structure will increase the lot coverage to 30%. It will be used exclusively for cold storage. Other possible directions of expansion are impossible due to existing required parking on the North side and front side of the building.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIRE�4ENT: Section 205.103, 1(F,3), requiring that curb opening in C-2 zoning (general business areas) be no closer to the intersecting street right of way than 75 feet. Public purpose served fiy this requirement is to provide adequate clearance from intersections for safe ingress and egress to and from business properties, and to allow for proper traffic flow in the vicinity of intersections in these areas. 6. STATED HARDSHIP: Existing car wash business is obsolete and out of business (boarded up). former car wash building is no lonter an exit route. Site cannot be used for gasoline sale without requested variance for double access from 73rd. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The proposed driveway opens are shown on the accompanying survey in red ink, The opening closest to University Avenue is approximately 100 feet from the westerly edge of the existing pavement on University � Avenue. It is just under 26 feet from the intersection of the side street right of way. Tha easterly opening is 26 feet from the intersection of �' the right of way on the service road. The City Engineering Department points out that future deve7opment South of 73rd at this point, and possible extension of 73rd Avenue to East River Road would necessitate a median on 73rd near this intersection. This would create a potential traffic hazard problem for egress from the easterly most opening as requested, aad may even affect traffic flow at the western opening. The City Alanning Department and Public Works Director point out that the original intent of the University Avenue "loop backs" was to eliminate openi�gs close to signaled intersections in order to save lives and reduce accidents. They also point out that the traffic situation and loop back access have been discussed in dQtail �aith the petitioner in the past. It is suggested that an entrance off the service drive and exit agreement with the l�lhite Knight Carwash can be worked out. � �� APPEALS COMMISSIOPI MEETING - OCTOBER t1, 1977 page 6 Mr. Steven Coddon of 1595 Selby Avenue, 5t. Paul� the property owner explained to the Commission exactly wwhat the plans were for the property at 7300 University Avenue N�. ��� He said that the former business sold out. He said that a self-service gas station was being planned for the property. He said that the proposed business would not wash cars and that there would be tto changes to the building. He said that the curb cuts were necessary to get the business into the gas station where they can purchase the gas and then be able to exit back onto 73rd Avenue. He felt that the curb cuts were necessary for the property to function in selling gasoZine. Chairperson Schnabel asked about the existing signs on the property. Mr. Coddon said that the signs would be moved and replaced by the Gas Company's own identification sign. Ms. Gabel inquired about the existing Real Estate sign. Mr. Coddon said that as soon as the curb cuts were approved� the signs would be removed. He said that the sale of the property was contingent on the curb cuts. Mr. Barna asked when the proposed street changes tivould possibly come about. Mr. Aolden said that there was no definite date. � Mr. Barna asked if the buyers of the property intended to also utilize the drivetivays that were located on the North side of the property. Mr. Cresswell of 16245 Glengary Court� Rosemont� said that they planneci to keep all the existing driveways. Mr� Barna asked if any of the existing bays would be opened for any type of service areas. Mr. Cresswell said that the existing bays would not be used for any type of service area. He said that if the bays vrould be used for anything, they would convert them to office area £or use solely by the Gas Company. Mr. Barna asked if the station would be entirely self- service. Mr. Cresswell said that it vroul.d be entirely self- service, He said that it would be a 2t�-hour operation. � APPEALS COMMISSION MEETiNG - OCTOBER 11, 1977 Page 7 Mr. Coddon explained to the Commission exactly what +�� the proposed traffic flow would be. Mr. Cressvrell showed the Commission pictures of gas � etations that the Gas Company presently owned and operated. He said that the decor Would be basically the same as the one on the pictures. Mr. Cresswell discussed several o£ the different options that had been suggested to him. He said that the requested way vras the only option that they wattted to consider since he felt that they tivould enable the best� safest� and most desirable way for the Gas Company. He said that the trucks coming into the Station needed enough space to maneuver rrithout any hazardous situations. Chairperson Schnabel asked if they would consider only one opening on 73rd Avenue for entry and then have the customer egit onto Commerce Lane. Mr. Coddon said that it would be entirely unsatisfactory. He said that it vrould be too much of an inconvenience to the customers. Chairperson Schnabel questioned the potential traffic problem that �ould result from traffic turning from Commerce Lane and traffic exiting and entering the � proposed Gas Station. — Mr. Cresswell said that potential traffic problems were al�ays encountered Mhenever one street ti^rould enter another street. He said that people would be, and alvrays are� expected to be cautious when eniering into an intersection. He said that the main reason for the request was to make entrance and exit easier for the big trucks that would be using and servicing the gas station. Chairperson Schnabel said that by measuring 75 feet from the lot line to the West, that the beginning of the opening for a driveway �ould come almost directly across from the gas pumps and as discussed previously that would not have been desirable or safe entrance Mr. Barna said that if they widened and made more attractive the northern-most drive�ay on the property thai many people �vould choose to use that driveway. He suggested that the buyers make the two existing driveways into one extra-wide driveway. MOTION by Mr. Barna� seconded by Mr. Plemel to close the Public Hearing.

He said that it vaould be easier to deny the request if it had not been violated so many places in � the City. Mr. Barna couldn�t foresee 73rd Avenue getting the same usage as Mississippi or Osborne Road. Mr. Holden said that there was a lot of contingencies 3nvo2ved in the development of �3rd Avenue, but there was the possibility. Mr. Barna said that he would have no objections to the request with the projected traffic patterns as could be seen in the area usage. Ms. Gabel said that there was a potexitial for traffic so there �vould be a potetttial for danger. She said that she would like to see the drive�rays onto the Commerce Lane widened and improved, �vhich would probably encourage people to use it. Mr. Plemel said that there �ras presently already greenery on the North boundary of the property. He ivould also like to see the driveway onto Commerce Lane widened and improved. Mr. Cress�vell said that any suggestion would be considered. He said that the 13gkt post that tivas � presently situated between the trro drive�vays onto - Commerce Lane could be moved, He said that it would be possible to consider making the two existing driveways into one large driveway. He said that v�hatever was done would have to be done with the Yact that it tivould have to be easily usable by trucks. Mr. Holden asked cvhat type of sign was being planned for the property. Mr. Cress�vell said that they would use the Company provided sign and it Nould be the biggest allowable sign. $e said that he rvanted the sign to be readable by the passing traffic. He said that as few signs as possible would be used. � � � � LJ APPEALS COMMISSION MEETiNG - OCTOBER 11,•1977 Page 9 MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Plemel, that the Appeals Commission recommend the approval of the request for variance of the Fridley City Code� Section 205.104, 1 (F�3)� C-2 Zoning (General Business Areas), to reduce the edge of a curb opening to the nearest portion of street Tight of tivay from the required '75 feet to 25 feet 10 1/2 inches� so there can be two driveway openings on 73rd Avenue Northeast, located on the south half of Lot 1, Block 3, Commerce Park Addition, the same being 7300 University Anenue Pi.E.� Fridley� Minnesota, �vith the stipulation that the driver�ay openings at the northwest corner of the property be a��to code" opening to make entry a.nd egress to that property more desirable.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.053, 4,6 (5,b} requiring a 25 foot side setback for a corner lot. Public purpose served by th�s section of the code is to reduce the traffic hazards presented 6y an entrance too close to an intersection. STATED HARDSHIP: This is a small lot, and two trees would have to be removed if I had to meet the required set6ack. No hovses face Sroad Avenue so it would not inconvenience the neigh6ors. If I had to meet the required setback, the cost and maintenance of the additional driveway would make an economic hardshiip. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIE!•!: Field measurements show a 10 foot 6oulevard on the west side of the property in question. 7he distance from curb to garage door at the requested setback would be 25 feet. It should be noted that the standard car length is approximately 20 feet, which wouid mean that a car parked in driveway v�ould encroach 5 feet into the public right of way. Also, the owner is cautioned that this proposed contruction will encroach on a private easement for well access. The City doesn't involve itself in private easements, and recommerids that the petitio»er possible rece9ve iegal counsel and attemot to have the easement vacated. It is our understanding that the "well" is not longer in use. a � � ApPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 11, 19?7 Pa�e 11 Ms. Lawrence of 595 Ironton Street NE explained to the members of the Commission what she proposed to do. S}le explained that if she had to meet all the codes, she would �have to remove a tree that she would prefer to keep. She _ also indicated that she would like to be able to have as much green area as possible on her lot. � � Chairperson Schnabel clarified what Ms. I,awrence was saying. She said that Ms. Lawrence had a 60 foot lot and if she met the 25 foot setback and built a 24 foot wide garage, she would then be i�9 feet back on the lot which vrould bring her 11 feet from the neighbor's lot line. Ms. Lawrence agreed with what Ms. Schnabel said. Mr. Barna said that with what Ms. Schnabel had said, Ms, La�arence vaould have to build the garage �vithin the drip line of the tree, which vrould then damage the roots. Ms. Lawrence said that next summer she planned to remove the existing driveway and put a nerr driveway to the garage. She showed the Commission, on the piciure they had, exactly where she proposed to put the new driveway. Ms. Gabel wanted to know what a private well easement was. Mr. Barna easement was. since the well cited an example as He said that in his was no longer used. to what a private well case it vras immaterial 33 Chairperson Schnabel read a note dated September 24, �977 from Mr. Virg Herrick. ��;'�ell and well access easement is private in nature, City did not request and was not 3eeded easement. Easement was from one private party to another. Vacation proceeding would not be in order since ihe City has nothing to vacate. City can issue building permit as per normal City Codes. Property oMner should be cautioned that even though the City issues a permit, it is up to the property owner to satisfy in their own mind as to building on easement being OK or go through some other legal procedure to dispose of easement.�� Chairperson Schnabel indicated that if Ms. Lawrence felt it �vas necessary to satisfy herself if that was legal, she should go through some type of legal procedure to dispose of the easement. Ms. Lawrence said that she had done much checking on ihe issue before shs made the request. She said that she had been told that the permit could be issued with the stipulation that the City would not be responsible for any ramification because of the easement and she in,dicated that she would accept that responsibility. - APPEALS COMMISSION ML'E.TING - OCTOBER 11, 1977 Pa�e 12 Chairperson Schnabel asked if it would infringe on the _ �2 tree if the request vras made from the required 25 feet from � `the property Iine on the side street to 20 feet instead of �5 feet. Ms. Lawrence indicated that when she submitted the proposal, she wanted the garage as close as possible and she understood that she could make the request to 15 and the Commission could move it to 20; but i£ she made the request for 20� they could not move it to 15. She had no problem vrith either 15 or 20 feet. Chairperson Schnabel explained that the average car length rras 20 feet tivhich tivould mean that a car parked in the drivelva}* tivould encroach five feet into the public right of iva}* if she had the 15 foot setback. Thereby, she said that if Ms. Lavrrence had a 20 foot setback that problem rrouZd not occur. Mr. Barna said that the 15 foot variance would not upset the look af Broad Street or the traffic situation as it stood. Chairperson Schnabel asked how heavily traveled the intersection of Ironton & Broad Streets was, Ms. Lavrrence said that it wasn�t very heavily traveled. She said Lhat it was a school bus stop. Chairperson Schnabel said that actually in relation to the intersection? Ms. Lavrrence's home v�as to the rear of the lot� Mr. Barna said that the home �vas actually almost 100 feet from the intersection, counting the front yard. Chairperson Schnabel asked �hen Ms. Lawrence �vould plan construction of the garage. Ms. Lawrence said she would begin as soon as possible. Mr. Holden asked exactly how close the construction would be to the tree. Mr. Barna said that if Ms. Laivrence went back 20 feet, she Nould be in the drip line of the tree; he said at )5 feet she would still be cutting some of the minor roots of the tree. � � � APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 11, 1977 Page 13 - �3 Chairperson Schnabel said that the Public Purpose served by requiring a 2y foot side yard setback didn't � really seem like a valid line of reasoning on this request because it was not a question of being too close to an intersection. Mr. Holden said that it should have included the provision of the encroachment into the neighbor�s front yard� which also didn�t apply since this Mas regarding back-to-back properties. Chairperson Schnabel said that in this instance, it really was not applicable. She said that she could understand the 25 foot setback in terms of parking hazards or something of that nature; she said that she really couldn�t see it as a possible intersection hazard. Ms. Gabel said that she was glad to see her build a garage. She said that it had to be kept in mind that the home was small and people do need extra storage room.

Holden requested Mr, l"Jalsh to indicate on the drawing the exact location of the requested sign. Mr. 49alsh indicated vrhere the proposed sign would be placed. He said that the main reason for the request was to enable them to have a sign that would have exposure to Interstate 694. He said that the sign tvould have the Real Estate 10 Logo. He said that there would be �vood encasing around the poles o£ the sign and that the sign �vould be internall.y lighted.

Mr. LYalsh said that in all probability there would be the Rea1 Estate 10 logo signs located on the building itself. Ghairperson Schnabel read from the existing Code Book regarding the r�all signs. She said that the drawing they had before them was sho�ring tvro signs to be located on the building� she asked for explanation. Mr. Holden said that he tivasn't sure how the wall sign subject rras being handled. Mr. Walsh said that vrhatever was done on the building would be done according to the City Codes. He saa.d that the main thing vfas to get a free standing sign to advertise that the building tivas in existence and also to advertise the name of Real Estate 10. Chairperson Schnabel vranted to know the height of the building. Mr. Holden said that the highest point of the building was approximately 20 feet. Ghairperson Schnabel asked i£ the sign v�ould be above the 20 foot portion of the building. Mr. PJalsh said that possibly it erould be about 1- 1� feet above that highest point. He said that it wouldn't be extremely high into the air. He indicated that very possibly the sign itself �+ouldn�t be much above the 20 foot point. Ae said that the additional distance �vould probably be necessary because of the wood casing that they �vould put around the sign. Mr. Kemper �vanted to kno�v exactly what the code said regarding the request. Chairperson Schnabel said that the Code read, "Maximum Height of Free Standing Sign: Six feet above lot grade". Mr. Walsh showed the Commission different pictures of signs that had been constructed by the Company he represented. �� APPEALS COMN[ISSIOPI MEETIPIG - OCTOBi�R 1 1, 1977 Pa�e 16 . Chairperson Schnabel indicated that a CR-1 and CR-2 zone basically coverecl Medical and Office Buildings. She � said that for some reason that particular piece of property had been zoned CR-1. She said that Real Estate 10 had to obtain a Special Use Permit to construct their building on that Iot. She said that because of the CR-1 zoning, the City still had to folloti� the Sign Code that had been established for that zoning.� She said that i£ Rea7. Estate 10 had built in a regular Commercial District� a 25 foot sign vrould have been permitted. Mr. t9alsh said that that �ras the main reason that a variance was being requested, Chairperson Schnabel said that the real problem ivas thai basically the area tivas zoned residential. Mr. 19alsh said that they i�reren't planning to put up any sign that would any way be offensive to any residential property. Chairperson Schnabel said that her biggest concern tivas the visibility of the sign over the top of the building to the residential area that is directly behind. She didn't tivant a sign that rrould be sticking above the roof. She said that the area �vas very open land with fetv trees and the sign vrould be most visible to the surrounding homes. ' � There was some discussion by the Conmission members regarding the lots and the zoning of the lots in the nearby areas. Mr. Walsh said that they ti�ranted to construct the sign to be as close to 20 feet high as possible. Mr. Kemper asked if the building ��ould have that type of sign at all� if the request were denied. Mr. @lalsh said that they �vould be advised not to spend a lot of money for a sign that wouldn�t be seen by the public, He said that they rrould have to do something to be able to inform people who they were and exactly v�hat the building vras.

He said that the main purpose was to advertise the business and the other �vas a form of sub-conscience advertising, as �vas the case of The Real Estate Company; a purpose of keeping their name in front of the Public. Mr. �Yalsh said that he felt the sign should be up high enough to be visible from Interstate 694 rrhich was approximately 12 feet above the top of the building. Ae said that they tvould like to have as much flexibility as possible in placing the sign keeping in mind any guidelines that the Commission would set. Mr. V�alsh pointed out that the Real Estate �gency Nanted the maximum amount of signage that they could obtain. There �ras a brief discussion by the Commission regarding the Sign Code that ivas in the process of being re-rrritten. This discussion took place only for the purpose of possibly seeing in what direction the nevr Code rrould be going. It eras not actually a conclusive discussion� Mr. l'Jalsh said that Real Estate 10 did spend a lot of money to have signs and advertising that appealed to the public. Mr. Pleme7. said that the point of the Freelvay 694 where the sign ti�rould be visible rvas actually such a beautiful vietiv of the city� especially at night� that he really didn't want that view to be ruined by a sign. Chairperson Schnabel explained that the problem the Commission Nas having with the request ��ras that after agonizing over a lot of signs, a project comm�ttee made up of citizens that revierred the entire Sign Ordinance was organized, She said that a proposal from the project committee vras in the process of being revierred by most of the Commissions and vras ready to be reviewed by the City Council. She said that most of the citizen Commissions of the City of Fridley had been made very conscience and anrare of signs because of the many discussions that had taken place during the past year.

She said that it ��ras mainly the height of the sign that vras being questioned� Ms. Gabel said that the Commission �vas really concerned abbut businesses. She said that the problem was holv they could be fair to both business and to the residents. Mr. VJalsh �ras in agreement to the suggestion that the signclouldn�t exceed the highest point of the building. Mr. Plemel asked if he meant the message part of the sign� and that the border of the sign �*�ould be above ihe building. Mr. Walsh said that is v�hat he meant. He spent some time trying to convince the Commission ihat the sign vaould be nice� tastefully done, and �vould enhance the building. Mr. Barna said that the Commission was discussing the entire sign; the message part and the border. There �vas much discussion by the members of the Commission regarding the interpretation of the Sign Code and hora and tirhere the top of the sign �vould be measured from the ground. This discussion also touched on the subject of exactly hotv much exposure ��ould be received from Interstate 694 in regards to the amount of traffic and the concentration that is necessary to drive on that free�vay. Mr. Kemper asked why the 6 ft x 8 ft sign was necessary. Mr. Walsh sai.d that the sign i•rould be made by a vacuum press that makes a standard six foot sign.

MOTION by Mr. Bergman� seconded by Ms. Schnabel� to open the Public Hearing. IIpon a voice vote� all noting aye, the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was opened at 7: t�8 P.M. Mr. Boardman explained that the request was to build a garage on an existing lot where there was an existin� structure. He said that the entire area was in the flood plain and according to the restrictions for a flood plain area there would be no building or structure that could be built in the flood plain unless a Special Use Permit was secured. He said that there was eight regulations on building in the flood plain. He went on to read the regulations and gave Staff's response to many of the regulations as to how they effected the requested garage. PLANNING COMMTSSION MEETING - OCTOBER 19. 1977 Pa�e 2 4 BB Mr. Boardman said that basically Staff didn't feel there would be a lot of problems with the particular situation. He said that the public hearing process was being followed� notices had been sent to the Commissioner of Natural Resources ten days prior to the Public Hearing and Staff would notify them of action taken ten days after the action was taken. He said that all the proper procedures were being followed. He pointed out that Sta£f had not heard from the Commissioner and it was being assumed that there were no objections or input on the request. Mr. Joseph Shun of 2500 Murray Avenue N.E.� representing Inter City Builders was present at the meeting. He indicated that they had agreed with the Buildin� Inspectors to use the material he required and to follow all building codes. Ms. Schnabel asked the purpose of Staff requesting that Inter City Builders obtain the neighbors� signatures. Mr. Shun said that the surney they had was a proposed surney. He said that without a verified surney the City required 1} times the code requirement for setback and also the neighbors' signatures mould be required. He presenied Mr. Boardman with the required signatures. Mr. Langenfeld asked if there would be any landfill used. Mr. Shun said that they would need apprQximately ten yards of fill to bring the garage up to the street grade. Mr. Langenfeld asked what the fifty year average in terms of 100 feet� etc. regarding the flood plain effecting the property in question. Mr. Boardman explained that on a map that each member had! a dotted line had been inserted. He said that line represented the approximate 100 year flood level that was required of the City to maintain by the State of Minnesota. He said that City was in the process of monumenting that elevation out in the Field � He said that there was some building going on in that area however, in most cases no special use permits are required. Chairperson Harris asked if the area was in the "dike area��. Mr. Boardman said that it was. Chairperson Harris asked if part of the requirements of the building code was to tie the structure to the slab. 4 CC Mr. Shun said that they were putting approximately $300 above what the same garage would have cost in a different area. He said the garage would have water- proof plates, studs, sheetings, and special anchors all over the structure. He said that the driveway to the garage would be off of Broad avenue. Chairperson Harris asked if it �as in the plans to hard-surface the driveway. Mr. Shun said that it prohably wouldn't be done yet this fall, but that the approach would be blacktopped. Mr. Langenfeld asked if there was an urgency for the building at this time. He asked the question due to the fact of the oncoming winter and spring floods, Mr. Shun said that they would like the garage built now because of the winter weather that is approaching, MOTION by Ms. Shea� seconded by Mr. Langenfeld� to close the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was closed at 8:02 P,M. Mr. Langenfeld felt that in the particular case at hand, that even though the request is for a garage in a CRP-2 zoning, it was on the upper portion of the Flood Plain area. He said that the petitioner•was taking all the necessary precautions as far as impending flooding, and they were meeting all the requirements set forth by the DNR and the stipulations sei forth by the City of Fridley. He said that the petitioner was fully aware of the area in which the structure was being erected and knew the possible hazards that could exist. He could find no problems with granting the request. MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld� seconded by Mr. Bergman, that the Planning Commission recommend the approval of the request for a Special IIse Permit, SP #77-13, Inter City Builders: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.�57� 5� D to allow the constnzction of a detached 2� ft by 22 ft gara�e in CRP-2 (flood plain), on Lots 1-4, Block W, Riverview Heights, the same being 609 Cheryl Street N.E. Upon a voice;vote� all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Chairperson Harris said that the request would go to City Council on November 7, 1977, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 19 1979 Page � 4 DD 2. PUBLIC .. , ------ ..�1. �...,.L� • r 3� D TO ALLOW THE CONSTRIICTION OF A DOUBLE BUNGALOW IN R-1 ZONING (SIAIGLE FAMILY DWELLING AREAS)� ON LOT 1� BLOCK t� HEATHER HILLS� THE SAME BEING 1430-1L�32 RICE CREEK ROAD N.E� MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. Langenfeld, to open the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously. The public hearing was opened at $:06 P.M� Mr. Boardman explained that the requested double bungalow would be located across the street from an already approved double bungalow that would be built by Mr. Sherwood Jordahl. Mr. Thomas Brickner of 11�01 Kerry Lane said that building a double bungalow would be the best use of that piece of property on that lot from the standpoini that the lot was located on Rice Creek Road. He said that he had had a lot of interest shown for the construction of a double bungalom. Mr. Brickner showed the Planning Commission the plans he had for the proposed double bungalow that he would like to build. He said that the structure would face Rice Creek Road. He said that it would be a two-story type structure with double garages on each end. Chairperson Harris asked what the estimated cost for the double bungalow would be. Mr. Brickner said that the cost would be in the $100,000 bracket. Ae said that the double bungalow would be owner occupied. He said that there were many requests for double bungalows being made available in that area. Mr. Bergman asked if he was building the double bungalow on speculation. Mr. Brickner said that it was speculatiee. He felt that the City of Fridley needed more double bungalow type dwellin$s. He said when there was a nice looking building in that price range scattered throughout the City on the more busy streets� it would be makin� the best use possible for those particular lots. He also said that that type of construction would actually increase the value of some of the homes in the area. Chairperson Harris asked if he �uould be living in the double bungalow. Mr. Brickner said that he would not. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 1� 1977 Pa�e 5 Mr. Brickner said that he had had many requests from people interested in owning a double bungalow where they would live in half and rent the other half. He felt that an owner-occupied double bungalow was most probable. Chairperson Harris asked about the lot size. Mr. Boardman said that as long as the lot was at least 10,000 square feet there would be no problems. He said that no variances would be required for the planned double bungalow. Ms. Schnabel said that she was concerned by having the rental property in the middle of an R-1 neighborhood. She was also concerned of the fact that the double bungalow would be built on speculaiion but that Mr. Brickner had said that it would be owner-occupied. She wondered how that statement could be made. Mr. Brickner and not live investment. said that if someone would buy the building in it� that person would lose money on his Mr. Mike Togli of 6275 Kerry Lane NE said that it would be possible that someone could buy the double bungalow and rent out both sides and use the investment as a tax �rrite-off. Mr. Brickner said that that type of tax shelter has been "tightened upi� a lot in recent years. He said that the amount of money that would be required to pay down on his proposed double bungalow would make it almost impossible to have someone buy the property and not live in it, There was some discussion regarding the surrounding dwellings in the area. Mr. Togli asked when Mr. Bricl�er had applied for the Special Use Permit and when he had decided that a double bungalow would be the best use of the property. Mr. Brickner said that he had applied for the Special IIse Permit a few weeks ago. He said that from the time he bought the 1ot he had had the idea that a double bungalow would be good on the lot. Mr, Togli asked when Mr. Brickner would start construction. Mr, Brickner said that it probably wouldn't be this year. 4 EE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 19, 1977 Page 6 4 FF Mr. Togli asked how many square feet each unit would be. � s Chairperson Harris said that each unit would have approximately 1�200 squre feet of living space. Mr. Togli asked if Mr. Brickner would change his mind on the lot behind the proposed double bungalow. He said that Mr. Brickner had indicated that he planned to build a single-family dwelling on that other lot. Mr. Brickner said that there was no chance whatsoever he would build anqthing except a single family dwelling on that lot. He said that the lot was too steep to even consider any type of double dwelling. He said that a tuck-under type of construction would have to be considered for that lot because of the steep gradin�. Mr. Langenfeld said that the double buttgalow approved for Mr. Jordahl had been given appronal based on a financial-type hardship where Mr. Jordahl would reside therein in order to help defray the cost. Mr. Dennis Schneider of 6190 Stinson Blvd (Ward II City Council) e�cplained that when the other approval came across City Council� the primary consideration was that the lot was a large lot with several different types of easements that made it impossible to make it into two lots. He indicated that the other lot had many unusual characteristics such that traffic that went down Kerry Lane� the headlights would shine directly into the house. He said that on that proposal, there was two double garages located in the center of the house that would alleniate the headlight problem. He said that the above was the reasons that the Special Use Permit had been granted by City Council. Mr. Schneider said that in the previous Special IIse Permit request the City Council had asked the Planning Commission to look at the Special Use Process as, in effect, a rezoning process. Chairperson Harris said that the Planning Commission had heard about the request but explained that the Commission had had a few other things to take care of. Mr. Schneider said that what the Special Use Permit process was actually allowing was a spot rezoning. He said that in the prenious case� he had talked to many af the neighbors and he sai.d there had been about a 50-50 split. He said that some of the people were totally set against it, some were basically middle of the road, and some had very positive reaction to it, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 19, 1977 Pa�e 7 4 GG Mr, 5chneider said that with the first request he had T� originally planned to vote against the approval. He said that after being made aware of the many easemexit requirements and the traffic problem and also the split survey of the neighbors, he decided that it would be the best use of the lot to grant the Special Use Permit. He said that he was not prepared to make any type of judgment on the particular case with Mr. Brickner. Ae said that he did share in the concern that Ms. Schnabel had expressed regarding the double bungalow in the middle of an R-1 zone. Ms� Schnabel asked if Mr. Brickner had given any thought of building a single-family dwelling on that particular piece of property. Mr. Brickner said that he had only owned the lot for a short time but no one had ever approached him to wanting a single-family dwelling built on the lot. He said that he had sug�ested the lot to several people� but no one had been interested in it because of the lot being right on Rice Creek Road. He said that he felt there was much demand for nice-looking double bungalows in that area. Ms. Schnabel asked why Mr. Brickner had asked for a Special Use Permit rather than asking for a rezoning. Mr. Brickner said that it didn't really make any difference how it was done to him. He sai.d that Mr. Holden had told him that a Special IIse Permit was the best way to go. Mr. Langenfeld pointed out that this type of Special Use Permit required a 4/5 vote by City Council. MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld� seconded by Ms. Schnabel, to close the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was closed at 8;32 p.M. Mr. Langenfeld asked if there was any problems with the easements on the lot. Mr. Boardmatt said that there would be no easement problems. PLANNING COMMISSION MEE`PING - OCTOBER 19, 197,Z Pa�e 8 It H}{ Chai.rperson Harris said that the vote on the previous request for a Special Use Permit by Mr. Jordahl had been a split vote by the Planning Commission. "Mr. Harris indicated that he had voted against it at that time and that he would also vote no on this request. He said that a double bungalow was not a proper use for that lot that was in and totally surrounded by R-1 zonings. He said that there was newly built homes in the area and that the lot in question v�ould not be an unsaleable lot� Mr. Harris said that he had taken the opportunity to visit Mr, Brickner�s neighbors and for the most part, they did not feel that a double bungalow would benefit the neighborhood. Ms. Schnabel said that she also intended to vote against the request and pointed out that had she been at the meeting for the previous request� she would have also voted against that one. She said that it was not a proper use of the lot in an R-1 zoning and she felt it was a tendancy to spot zone. She said that the Heather Hills area is all new construction and she felt that a single family d�velling consistent with the neighborhood should be placed on that lot. Chairperson Harris said that Mr. Brickner does a fine job of building, He builds a quality house and he was most impressed with his structures. He complimented Mr. Brickner on his efforts in the Heather Hills area. Mr, Brickner said that from the conversatiott that the best use of the property would be to build a minimum sized house on that property. He said that if he could build a house in the right price range� he felt he could probably sell it. He said that he couldn�t build the quality of house that he would like. He said that he would probably want to build a house in the $�0,000 price range. Chairperson Harris egplained to Mr. Brickner that he still had the right of appeal to City Council. He said that the Planning Commission only makes recommendaiions to City Council. He said that City Council did have the final note. Chairperson Harris took an informal poll of the Planning Commission. They all indicated negative. Mr� Brickner requested the withdrawal of the request. He said that from the conversation, obviously the Commission mas against the double bungalow and he did not wish to persue the issue further. PI,ANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 1 1977 Pa�e 9 Mr. Thomas Brickner withdrew the request for a Special Use Permit� SP #77-14: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.051� 3lD� to allow the construction of a double bungalow in R-1 zoning (single family dwelling areas), on Lot t, B1ock 1� Heather Hills, the same being 1430-1432 Rice Creek Road NE. Mr. Bergman made the observation that aut of 11� property owners that had been innited, only one showed up at the Public Hearing. Mr. Togli said that he had never been contacted by anyone with either of the Special Use Permits as to whether he was for or agaittst it. Chairperson Harris said that he had gone to some of the neighbors, but that he did not contact all the neighbors. Mr. Bergman felt awkarard with the situation. He said that Mr. Brickner had polled the neighbors and that he had received little opposition; then he said that Mr. Harris talked to neighbors, and they were very much opposed; and he said that Mr. Schneider had talked to neighbors and there had been a 50-50 split. Mr. Bergman said that with all the differettt discussions vrith the neighbors and then none of the people talked to had shown up at the Public�iearing. Mr. Tog1i said that with that many "polls�� and he still had never been contacted by anyone! Ms. Schnabel said that people were very reluctant when they are an adjacent neighbor to come and publically say how they really feel, even when they are opposed to an idea� because that neighbor has to live in that neighborhood. She said that possibly many of the people were personal friends of the Brickner�s and they were reluctant to say something against the double bungalow because they have to live with him as a neighbor too. Mr. Togli was concerned about the term "spot rezoning", Chairperson Harris explained that it was allowed in the Code that an R-2 (double bungalow or duplex) be built in an R-1 lot with a Special Use Permit� providing that the mittimum square footage of the lot was 10,000 square feet or more and has yJ5 vote of City Council. Mr. Togli asked if many were granted. He asked if there was a lot of spot rezoning allowed in the City of Fridley. Mr. Boardman said that there have been about six requests over the past few months; but that only one had gone through and that was the one at i4.4i Rice Creek Road. �� II PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - QCTOBER 19 1977 Pa�e 10 �! �,1 3.

Mr. Boardman explained that Lots 6& 7 were owned by one party. Iie said that when the house on Lot 7 was built the driveway was allowed to encroach onto Lot 6 because he did own both lots. He said that the party was planning to sell Lot 6 and Mr. Erickson did not want to have to move the driveway. He said that Mr. Erickson had arranged with the other property owner to request a lot split so that the drivew�}r would be located on Lot �. Mrs. Erickson of �515 Alden Way N.E, was present at the meeting. She indicated that they had gotten permission from City Council 15 years ago to put the drivew�y at its present location.

Mr. David E. Ficek of t393 16th Avenue NW (representing DaVerne Corporation) said that they had interpolated the 35 foot setback as to where the house would sit. He said that in order to sane a tree on the North side of the property the house was moved to the south. He indicated that they were 2.25 feet off the requirement on the south boundary� Mr. Boardman explained that that mas the reason City often requir ed a survey after the foundation was laid. He said that when the building inspector goes out to a site to ��eye�+ the construction� all they sometimes have to use are the stakes and sometimes the stakes would get moved and whatever. He said that many times there are mounds of dirt, etc. and it becomes difficult to actually "sight" where the construction would be. Mr. Ficek indicated the possibility of a financial hardship on the property at 5468 and if that does happen� then he would be applying for a variance. Ms. Schnabel asked why Mr. Ficek hadn�t applied for a variance instead of a 1ot split. Mr. Ficek said that he didn�t like variances. He said that people should stay within the codes. He agreed that it was difficult for the building inspector to be able to +teye+� if the building would be exactly within codes. He said that if the lot split could be done then both lots would be ��legal".

He said that the present Plan only indicated the bad points. �'he motion died for lack of a second. Chairperson Harris read Objective y. in Section y.� Summary of Findings: Encourage the advancement of recreation opportunities for all residents. Ms. Schnabel felt that the first finding, ��The City�s recreation pro�;rams do not reflect a wide range of activities for xe sidents" could be stated in a different way so that it wouldn't be quite so negative sounding. Mr. Bergman said that that idea could be done throughout the Plan. Mr. Langenfeld sai d that the Environmental Quality Commission suggested changing Finding 5 by deleting the term "nature study enthusiasts�� from the finding. Mr. Bergman said that it was a shame that Parks & Recreation Commissiott was not represented at the Planning Commission meeting.

Ghairperson Harris said that the Findings were aiming at how Staff deals with the recreational opportunities. Mr. Langenfeld said that Staff requirements needed to be evaluated in order to enable the City to encourage the advancement of recreational opportunities. He said that these findings didn�t belong in Objective 1 because Facilities were discussed in that Objective. Ms. Schnabel asked if it could be included in Objective 2.

Chairperson Harris said it was walkways� bikevuays� and horse trails. 4 hF1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 19. 1977 Pa�e 14 Mr. Bergman said that the City of Fridley already had that system and that it was on paper and all that had to be done was to implement the existing plan. Chairperson Harris pointed out that it actually was not in existence� that it hadn�t been implemented. Finding 4 under Objective 5 was discussed next.

Mr. I,angenfeld said that the Environmental Quality Commission had suggested the deletion of the entire first page of that section. Mr. Bergman said that the Community Development Commission indicated that the funding criteria in the Policy & Recommendations section should be rewritten for clarity. Ms. Schnabel asked if that type of information was necessary to be ineluded to get certain type of grants� Chairperson Harris felt the time to give that type of information would be at the time of application and not at the time of planning.
