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 b�ing follovred� .
notices had been sent to the Commissioner of Natural

heard from the Commissioner and it was being assumed that
there were no objections or input on the reques£.
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 tha Building
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 survey they had was a proposed
survey, He said that tivithout a verified survey the
City required 1� times the code requirement for setback
and also ihe neighbors� signatures wouZd be required.
He presented Mr. Boardman �ith the required signatures.
Mr. Langenfeld asked if there would be any landfi2l used.
Mr. Shun said that they would need apprnximately 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 £lood pl&in 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 Iine

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 being requested.
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.

Mr. Shun said that they mere putting approximately $300
� above what the same garage would have cost in a
different area. He said the garage would have ivater-
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 was in the plans to
hard-surface the driveway.
Mr. Shun said that it probably 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 r�eather 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
zotting� 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 set forth by the City of Fridley.
He said that the petitioner Nas fully aware of the area
in which the structure was being erected and kneti� the
possibl.e hazards that could exist. He could find no
problems with granting the request.

BEING 11�30-7432 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 unanimousZy. The public hearing
was opened at 8:06 P,M,
Mr. Boardman explained that the requested double bungalow
would be Zocated across the street from an a2ready approved
double bungalovu that would be built by Mr. Sherwood Jordahl.
Mr. Thomas Brickner of 1401 Kerry Lane said that building
a doubZe bungalozv wouZd be tke best use of that piece o£
property on that lot from the standpoint that the
lot was located on Rice Creek Road. He said that he had
had a lot of interest sho�un for the construction of a
double bunga2ov�.
Mr. Brickner showed the Planning Commission the plans he
had for the proposed double bungalocr that he �aould like
to build. He said that the structure would face Rice Creek
Road. He said that it r�ould 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. He said that the double bungalosv would be owner
occupied, He said that there were many requests for
double bungaloMS being made available in that area.
Mr. Bergman asked if he was building the doui�le bunga3ow
on speculation.
Mr. Brickner said that it was speEUlative. He felt that
the City of Fridley needed more doub2e bungalocv type
dwellings, 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 making the best use possible
for those particu2ar lots. He also said that that type
of construction arould actually increase the value of some
o£ the homes in the area.
Chairperson Harris asked if he wauld be 2iving in the
double bungalow.
Mr, Brickner said that he would not�

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 mas at least
10?000 square feet there nould be no problems. He said
that no variances rrould 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 a3.so concerned af the fact that the double
bungalorr �ould be built on sgeculation but that
Mr. Brickner had said that it Would be otivner-occupied.
She wondered how that statement could be made.

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 t�rould
be possible that someone could buy the double bungaZotiv
and rent out both sides and use the investment as a
tax �rrite-off.
Mr. Brickner said that ihat type of tax shelter has been
�'tightened up'� a lot in recent years� He said that the
amount of money that srould be required to pay dovrn on his
proposed double bungalow would make it almost impossible
to have someone buy the property and not live in it.
There tivas some discussion'regarding the surrounding
dwellings in the area,
Mr. Togli asked when Mr. Bricirner had applied for the
Special IIse Permit and �vhen he had decided that a double
bungalow v�ould be the best use of the property�
Mr. Briclrner said that he had applied for the Special
Use Permit a few weeks ago. He said that from the time
he bought the lot he had had the idea that a double
bungalonr 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.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 19, 1977 � Page 6
Mr. Togli asked how many square feet each unit would be,
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 bungalovr. He
said that Mr. Brickner had indicated that he planned to
build a single-family dwelling on that other lot.
Mr. Brickner saic3 that there was no chance whatsoever
he would build anything 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 grading.
Mr. Langenfeld said that the double bungalorr approved
for Mr. Jordahl had been given approval based on a
financial-type hardship ti��here Mr. Jordahl would
reside therein in order to help defray the cost.
Mr. Dennis Schneider of 6190 Stinson Blvd (VJard II
City Council) explained that tivhen the other approval
came across City Council� the primary consideration
was that the lot was a large lot vaith several different
types of easements that made it impossible to make it
into tc�o lots. He indicated that the other lot had many �
unusual characteristics such that traffic tkat rvent doevn
Kerry Lane, the headlights �rould shine directly into the
house. He said that on that proposal, there t�ras two
double garages located in the center of the house tha�
erould alleviate the headlight problem, He said that the
above «as the reasons that the Special Use Permit had been
granted by City Council.. -
Mr. Schneider said that in the previous Special Use Permit
request the City Council had asked the Planning Commission
to look at tke Special Use Process as� in effect� a rezoning
process,
Chairperson Harris said ihat 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 ivhat the Specia2 Use Permit
process was actually allorring was a spot rezoning. He
said that in the previous case, he had talked to many of
the neighbors and he said there had been about a 50-54
split. Ae said that some of the people ivere totally
set against it� some elere basical.ly middle of the road� and
some had very positive reaction to it.
�J
PLANNING COMMIaSION MEL"fIP1G - OCTOB�R 19, 1,�? Page 7
.
Mr. Schneider said that with the fir�t request he had
originally planned to vote against the approval. He said
that after being made arrare of the many easement
S 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 rras not prepared to make any type of judgment
on the particular case ivith Mr. Brickner. He 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 c�anting
a single-family de�elling built on the lot. He said that
he had suggested 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 vaas much
demand for nice-looking double bungalo��rs 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
� ho�v it vras done to him. Ae said that Mr. Holden had told
him that a Special Use Permit was the best nray to oo.
Mr. Langenfeld pointed out that this type of Speci� Use
Permit required a y./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 v�ith the
easements on the lot.
Mr. Boardman said that there would be no easement
problems.

�LANNING COMMISSION ME�TING - OCTQBER 19 149Z � Pa�e 8
Chairperson 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 bungalorr was not a proper use for that Iot that s
was in and totally surrounded by R-1 zonings. He said "
that there tiras nerr7.y built homes in the area and that the
lot in question rlould not be an unsaleable lot. Mr. Harris
said that he had taken the opportunity to visit Mr. Brickner�s
ne3ghbors attd for the most part� they did not feel that
a double bungalovr 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 vJOUld have also
voted against that one. She said that it vJas not a prcper
use of �he lot in an R-1 zoning and she felt it was a
tendancy to spot zone. She said that the Fieather Hills
area is a11 nerr construction and she felt that a single
family dti�ielling consistent i�ith 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 ti�ras
most impressed with his structures. He complir�ented
Mr. Brickner on his efforts in the Heather Hills area.
Mr. Brickner said that from the conversation that the •
best use of the property ivould be to build a minimnn
sized house on that property. He saifl that if he could
build a house in the right price range� ha felt he
could probably sell it. He said that he couldn't build
the qual,ity of house that he vrould like. He said that
he would probably want to build a house in the $l�0�000
price range.
Chairperson Harris explained to Mr. Brickner that ke
still had the right af appeal to City Counci2. He said
that the PZanning Commission only makes recommendations
to City Council� He said that City Council did have the
final note,
Chairperson Harris took an informal poll of the Planning
Commiasion. They all indicated negative.
Mr. Brickner requested the vrithdra�val of the request. He
said that from the conversation, obviously the Commission
was agaznst the double bunga2otv and he did not tivish to
persue the issue further�

Mr. Bergman made the observation that out of 14 property
otirners that had been invited� 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 rrhether he
was for or against it.
Chairperson Harris said that he had gone to some of
the neighbors� but that he did noi contact all the
neighbors. ""
Mr. Bergman felt awkt��ard rrith the situation. He said
that Mr. Brickner had polled the neighbors and thai
he had received little opposition; then he said that
Mr, Harris talked to neighbors, and they L�ere 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 ti�rith all the di£ferent discussions
with the neighbors and then none of the people talked
to had shorrn up at the Public Hearing.
Mr. Togli said that rrith that many ��polls�+ and he still
had never been contacted by anyone:
Ms. Schnabel said that people �vere very reluctant tivhen
they are an adjacent neighbos to come and publically
say how they really feel, even v�hen they are opposed to
an idea� because ihat neighbor has to live.in that
neighborhood. She said �hat possibly many of the people
were personal friends of the Brickner�s and they rrere
reluctant to say something against the double bunga].otiv
because they have to live vrith him as a nei�hbor too.
Mr. Togli was concerned about the term t�spot rezoning�'.
Chairperson Harris e�cplained that it vras allowed in the
Code that an R-2 (double bungalotiv or duplex) be built in
an R-1 lot �vith a Special Use Permit� providing that the
minimum square footage of the lot was 10�000 square feet
or more and has 4/5 vote of City Council.
Dir. Togli asked if many were granted. He asked if there
was a lot of spot rezoning allorred in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Boardman said that there have been about six requests
over the past few months; but that onZy one had gone

Mr. David E. Ficek of �393 16th Avenue NW (representing

35 foot setback as to where the house �vould sit. He said
that in order to sane a tree on the North side of the

that they ��ere 2.25 feet off the requirement on the

Mr. Bergman said that the City of Fridley already had that
system and that it rras on paper and all that had to be
done vras to implement the existing plan.
Chairperson Harris pointed out that it actually ���as not
in existence, that it hadn�t besn implemented.
Finding 4 under Objective 5�vas discussed next.
Mr. Langenfeld
Commission had

said that the Environmental Ruality
asked that "private areas" be added to
Chairperson Harris said that that tivould then include
Metronics and Onan�s areas. He suggested the word to be
added be "commercial".
MOTION by tds. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. Langenfeld, that
Finding 4 under Objective 5 read, "There is a need to
coordinate regional, county, city, and commercial areas of
park and open space interest to provide a e'�qua�Ee active

Mr. Bergman and Mr. Langenfeld indicated their
interpretations of that Finding,
Chairperson Harris next discussed the section on the
POI,ICY & RECOMMENDATION.
Mr. Langenfeld said that the EnvironmentaZ f�uality
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 oriteria in the Policy &
Recommendations section should be retivritten for clarity.
Ms. Schnabel. asked if that type of information tivas
necessary to be included to get certain type of grants�
Chairperson Harris felt the time to give that type
of information �vould be at the time of application and
not at the time of planning. He said that the ground rules

betrleen tti��o types of different active areas. She said
that there rrere tiraes �rhere some type of landscaping
would have to be done in order�to delineate the
different areas in order to provide a safety screen.
She didn't think that the plans �vere to take the
money and invest it all in trees. She said that there

FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL CONAffSSION MEETZNG OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 3
Ms. Sporre sl-ated she thought it was a meaningful thing for children and
newcaners in the community to consider and understand the culture of the
community. Fridley did have a culture and it should stimulate public interest
Mr. Leek referred to Page 23, Objective 2, Recoumiendations �kl and ¢2. He
stated those two recommendations had alxeady been inserted by the Parks &
Recreation Conmiission.
Ms. Sporre withdrew her motion.
The Commission members agreed to continue reviewing the document page by
page as they had done at previous meetings, beginning with page 17.
Ms. Metcalf recommended on Page 17 that each "Finding" be indented and
possibly single spaced for better readability. The Commission concurred.
Ms. Metcalf also recommended that the first two "Findings" at the top of
Page 17 be condensed into one paragraph as they essentially said the same
thing. The Commission concurred.
Ms. Sporre asked for clarification on the third "Finding" on Page 17:
"Some of the City's parks do not contribute to the total park system,"
T3r. Leek stated that examples were Innsbr.uck Park, Riversedga iaay, the
East River Road property (a piece of property that was no longer a vark
but was at the time), and also Burling�on Northern Park--parks that, although
used, were not used by a significant enough portion of the population to justify
maintaining them, and it would be best to find other facilities Co sertice
those neughborhoods.
Ms.Metcalf stated that "Finding" should be reworded to be more specific.
The Cormmission concurred to have the third "Finding" reworded as follows;
"Some of the City's parks do not provide neighborhood recreational needs."
Ms. Sporre expressed her concern that energy conservation and energy saving
devices were not a major consideration in the plan. The City's facilities
wexe not energy efficient. She stated she would like the following "Finding"
to be inserted in the Plan; "Conservation of energy and protection of
facilities from vandalism through such practices as earth shelter buildings
are not presently being used."
The Co�ission agreed to insert this "Finding" at the bottom of Page 17,
under Objective 2.
Ms. Metcalf stated she did not like the "Finding" on Page 17 which stated
thae; "Fridley's parks lack attractiveness and character, which would
enhance enjoyment of them." She stated that this was not true of all of
gridley's parks.
��
� _.. �
FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL C�IISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 4
The Co�ission agreed that this "Finding" be reworded to read: "Some of
Fridley's parks lack attractiveness and character." The words, "which would
enhance enjoyment of them"Were deleted.
Ms. Sporre stated that in the fifth "Finding", page 18, Objective 4, she
felt it was not appropriate for "nature study enthusiasts" to be included
as an example of special groups witfiin the coamiunity. The Commission members
agreed to delete "nature study enthusiasts��.
Ms. Sporre asked the xeason for the last "Finding" under Objective 4: "There
is a need for parks and recreation department policy guidelines,"
Mr. Leek stated that in looking at the Parks & Recreation Department, they
found the Department needed some set of guidelines set up by them on what
they were doing for the city to provide policies on setting up the programs
they offered, which were not within the scope of this document,
Ms. Sporre stated that one "Finding" said, "The City's recreation program does
not reflect a wide range of activities for residents." If this was consistent,
then it should say, "There is a lack of policy guidelines addressing staff
requirements and program review,"
Dlr. Peterson stated.that since the fourth "Finding" and the last "Finding"
on Page 18, unde-r Objective 4, were related, perhaps they should be combined.
Ms. Metcalf stated that she felt the Parks & Recreation Commission should be
concerned with this; it was not really an environmental concern.
Mr. Langenield stated that he saw these "Findings" as specific needs and
fihey were pointed out as things lacking in the current system plan. He
agreed with Ms. Metcalf that at that point.in time, it was not up to this Commission
to say what the needs were and be spacific; he definitely saw ft as the
parks & Recreation Commission's position to tackle that. But, the Commission
could make recommendations if they wished to do so.
Ms. Sporre stated that in Objective 5, Page 18, the Plan talked about
innovative space management, but it did not seem to address the fact that
private enterprise did provide certain recreational services. There ought
to be some kind of statement stating that recreational services were being
provided by non-governmental sources.
The Coomission members concurred that the words, "and private" be inserted
in the second "Finding" on Page 19 to read; "There is a need to coordinate
regional, county, city, and private areas of park and open space interest
to provide adequate recreational areas and natural study areas."
Mr. Langenfeld called a five-minute recess aC 9:25 p.m.
�,
FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL CONAIISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1477 - PAGE 5- ° '"
MOTION by Connie Metcalf, that a11 cosm�ents and corrections made by the
Environmental Conunission be directed to environmental concerns as implied
or stated in the parks & Open Space Plan. Anything else•should be made
to the Parks & Recreation Commission.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Ms. Metcalf stated that any concerns this Commission had on things that
were not environmental, they should do so as private citizens outside of
the Commission.
Mr. Langenfeld stated Chat each Co�ission member was part of the citizenry
and should make any comments that person felt necessary. Some concerns
might not be hrought to the attention of anyone unless each member, as a
citizen, saw a concern and recommended a change.
Ms. Metcalf stated she felt that with the other things this Commission
had to be concerned with, they shouLd not be so concerned with parks and
recreation concerns. There was a parks & Recreation Co�ission for that
and the Environmental Commission had a different charge.
Ms. SPorxe stated she disagreed with that as she felt fully qualified,
because of her involvement in many church, community, and neighborizood
activities, to give meaningful input in the overall shaning of the Plan.
Ms. Sporre felt that Page 2Q on Criteria was inappropriate in the Plan.
She felt it should be deleted an3 that the only useful part of that page
was the "Overall Recommendation": "The City should develop criteria for
the strategic disbursement of money for park development." She felt the
City should work on a set of criteria to be used.
The majority of the Commission members agreed to delete Page 20, but that
the "Overall Recommendation" be included in the Plan.
pn Page 21, Mr. Langenfeld recommended that reference be made to the
appropriate park tables in Che Park Classifications A- A.
Mr. Leek stated that there had been concurrence by the members at the
last meeting that this would be done.
On Page 22, the definition of "Regional Park was changed at the August 16,
1477, meeting to read; "An area of natural quality for nature oriented
outdoor activities which serves a population larger than the local
community. Regional parks usually contain at least 100 acres."
On Table 2, "Linear Park/Open Space Concept", the second and third
sentences were changed to read; "At least 157 of Che total land area
in the city should be retained as an open space system. A linear park/
open space system will provide fresh air, nature areas, rest and
recreational opportunities." "For those unable to travel to the country��
was deleted.
The Commission concurred with this change.
n�,`
� ��
~ FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 6
On Table 3, "Regional Park Con�ept", the Commission concurred that this
concept should be brought into consistency with the revised definition.
Also, the second sentence, "This park should be no less than 100 acres
with the recommended standard of 4 acres/1000 people" was deleted.
Ms. Sporre stated that on pages 23 and 24, under Objective 2, she would
like to recommend that, "Concervation o# energy and protection of facilities
from vandalism through such practices as earth shelter buildings should be
used."
The Commission agreed to make this Recommendation $5 under Objective 2
on Page 24.
Ms. Sporre stated that there wasn't anything in the plan about energy
conservation or resource conservation in the use of park planning and
park designing for areas along the waterways. Mr. Bob Hutchinson from
the County Environmental Services had suggested that the city limit the
amount of nutrients that would be used on greening up the areas around
the beaches and that edges of the lake be left with the natural grasses
to filter off the water before it went into the lake. Ms. Sporre said
something should be put in the Plan that would address the use of fertilizers
in the parks and conservation of natural filter systems along lakes and
waterways.
Mr. Leek stated that recoumiendation would he more appropriate under
Objective 5 on page 28, and the Cou�ission could address it when they
reached that page. In the meantime, Mr. Leek would write up a recommenda-
tion regarding this and would contact Mr. Iiutchinson and get any
recommendations Mr. Hutchinson had.
Ms. Sporre asked pfr. Leek if the Commission could get at least one copy
of the"Minnesota State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation P1an!' If each
�ommission member could not have a copy, then there should be at least
one available to the Commissioners, She felt it would be very useful for
evaluating and clarifying the Plan.
Mr. Leek agreed to see about obtaini� a copy or copies for the Commission.
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to continue discussion
on the Parks & Open Space plan at the next meeting. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
CONTINUED: NOISE POLLUTION DISCUSSION:
MpTION by Lee Mn Sporre, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to receive the
"124 Noise Control" ordinance in preliminary draft form. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
•^e r�
FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 7" 1d�
Mr. Leek stated that at the last meeting, he had told the Commission he
would have the sources used in compiling and paraphrasing the draft.
He stated that most of the ordinance was drawn from the Bloomington
noise ordinance with the exception of 124.06, '�oise Impact Statements",
which were drawn verbatim from the City of Fon du Lac. In Section
124.03, they had adopted by reference the "Minnesota State Regulations
(NPC 4), Motor Vehicle Noise Limits".
MOTION by Connie Metcalf, seconded by Dave Sabistina, that the Environ-
mental Goffinission memhers read the preliminary draft of the "124 Noise
Control" ordinance and continue discussion on it at the next meeting.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Ms. Sporre gave a copy of the "Users Guide to Che Protection of the
Environment" to Mr. Leek and Mr. Langenfeld requested that copies be
made for the Commission members and PLanning Commission members.
RECYCZING PROJECT COMMITTEE REPORT:
Ms. Metcalf stated that Mr. Langenfeld had referred names to her of people
who were inceresEed in tl�e Env�ronmental Commission, and this had heLped
her very much in forming the project committee. She stated that �t *_he
Resource Recovery Technology Seminar she had just attended, she was lucky
enough to meet two women from Edina, caho were now in the Recycliag
Co�ission in Edina and had 6een sLCCessful in getting a recycling center
started there. Zn talking with these two women, in working with
Ms. Eileen Irwin, and in doing some checking with the Metro Recycling
and Paper Company, Ms. Metcalf said they had gotten the background on
what had or had not been done for the starting of a recycling center and
what the possibilities were at this time. Now they could take this
inforu�tion to the first meeting of the Recycling Project Coa�ittee and
decide where to go. Both P�. Irwin and Ms. Metcalf were optimistic because
of the success in Edina. They would continue to use suggestions and
experience from the Edina group to see if they could get a recycling center
set up in Fridley. The Project Committee would be exploring the various
problems, and one of the main things was to find sources for what was
collected, Papers, cans, bottles, etc., could not be collected unless
there was a place to dispose of them. They must be sure of the markets
£or the products and then they would be successful.
Ms. Sporre stated that she was very pleased that Ms. Metcalf was revicing
a very pertinent issue that was more relevant today than it ever was.
REPORT FROM MS. SPORRE ON ENERY SYt�OSIUPf:
Ms. Sporre stated that she had attended the Energy Symposium and found iC
much more advanced, much more polished, and much more educational than the
last Energy Symposium. It was evident that the Minnesota Energy Agency
was growing up and "coming of age". What was mainly talked about was what
�
n�
FRTDLEY ENVIRONMENLAL COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGF. 8
the State of Minnesota was doing in terms of setting energy policies, how
they intended to implement these policies, and what they saw as problems
to overcome. One oE the areas she felt was pertinent to local planniag
was the zoning and land use restrictions that prevented energy conservation
from becoming part of the overall planning of the city. She said one of
the most interesting speakers told of how he wanted to build a windmill,
but all the 1oca1 zoning requirements wouLd not permit that. He struggled
with the law and introduced the windmill as a monument in order to get it
built. The point the speaker made was that every person who provided for
himself was someone who should be thanked because that was someone who
eased the'further drain on our resources, and we should be seeking new ways
to provide innovative energy conservation management.
This year, Ms. Sporre stated, they talked in depth about cost effectiveness,
and'studies done by peopte Zike Honeywell £or the Minnesota Energy Agency
showed that 72% energy savings could be found by using underground building
construction and t'hat space heating and cooling were a major energy waster
in the state. So, they were trying to encourage new ways of designing
buildings: There again, it was talking about 1oca1 building requirements.
At the end of the seminar, Ms. Sporre,stated, it was brought together that
the Minnesota Energy Agency was going to pronose to the Senate and Energy and
Housing Committee some revisions in 6uilding restrictior.s aad uniform building
code so that they were not only prouiding for conservation, but for those
people who wanted to use solar passive design and not be taxed for it. The
tax structure would be reviewed, the incentives wou13 be reviezaed, and all
efforts would be made in the public sector to encourage people to conserve.
Ms. gporre stated that they talked in depth about retrofitting. Retro-
fi�ting was redesigning for energy conservation in an existing structure.
R�rofitting was a possibility in some cases in Fridley. But, the most
exciting part was the coming into new design.
Ms. Sporre stated she was very much impressed by Thomas Bleigh, Department
of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Minnesota, who spoke on
underground construction. When the Commission's workload was lighter, she
said she would like very much to bring in his slide show of what he had
established for building underground. She feltit was something the City
should be using in city planning in everything they built from now on.
gEPORT FROM MS. METCALF ON RESOURGE RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY SEMLNAR:
Ms. Metcalf stated that this seminar was put on by the Metro Inter-County
Council. She found it extremely interesting, but there were many thin�s
that bothered her. The purpose of the workshop was to provide information
to city, county, and state management people so they could determine the
feasibility of setting up a tesource recovery depot in their particular area.
i�
�
ERIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMh1ISSI0N MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1477 - PAGE 4" "' �
Ms. Metcalf stated there were many different kinds of these. Sometimes
these refuse deposits were just for burning; others were built in order to
use the energy for steam and getting electrical gower. There were quite
a few cities in the United States where the residents were 50'/, dependent
on refuse burning for electricity. She said one of the speakers threw
a"monkey wrench" in her whole reason for being there by saying thaC these
systems were not feasible or conceivable in cities where Chere was no
municipal waste collecting. So, that made it seem rather hopeless for
gridley.
Ms. Metcalf stated that the seminar was helpful in that she met the two
women from Edina that she had mentioned earlier in her recycling report.
The presentation showed a lot of slides of different kinds of refuse buxners.
Atter the waste had been separated into paper, ferrous metals, aluminum,
and glass, Chen Chese wastes could be sold. Some were burned as a whole
and the products sold. She �howed the Comciission members a table which
showed the percentage of municipal solid waste; Ferrous Waste - 8%
Glass - 10%
Papers - 34%
Other - 48%
Ms. MetcaJ.f stated there were pictures shown of incinerators in Europe and
the Euxopeans obviously used waste to its hest advanCage. She thought we
had a 1ot to learn in those areas. She stated that the best direction to
take in Fridley at this time was to try and r.ecycle what waste they had.
They needed to get a recycling center for bottles, cans, newspapers, and for
leaf composting.
Ms. Sporre stated one of the questions she wanted to add was whether or
not the government had a role to play in this area because private business
was finding there was money in it. The government ou�ht Co geC into the
business before private business did.
Ms. Metcalf stated she would like this Commission to make a recommendation
to the Metro Inter-County Council that there be a resource center to use
sludge from pigs eye as it made an excellent fertilizer.
TABLED: MOORE LAKE DISCUSSION:
MOTION by Connie Metcalf, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to temove this item
from the table. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Che motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Leek stated that the Conm�ission wanted to know the state of testing
that Hickok & Associates was making on Moore Lake. He stated he had talked
to Steve Olson, who was in charge of the project on Che City's end.
Mr. Olson had told Mr. Leek that they were still in the process of testing
and that Hickok & Associates would be putting together an evaluation of
test results and recommendations on that basis within the next month or so.
l ��,_ , r'd
FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 10
Mr. Leek stated he had a copy of a letter dated February 4, 1977, from
Hickok & Associates to Mr. Olson which was written following the original
work agreement. It basically said that in accordance with the terms of
agreement, work would begin immediately after the agreement was made,
which was early in March, and was to be completed a year after that. The
final cost for the study was $17,170. Mr. Leek stated that Mr. Olson had
proyided him with copies of individual cost breakdowns for test samples,
for example, April through October of this year. Easically,the tests were
the taking of lake samples, sLorm sewer samples, and lake bottom cores.
Ms. Sporre stated she would be interested in knowing the problem sources
and -things that could be done.
Mr. Leek stated that, according to Mr. Olson, the testing was reaching the
point where Hickok & Associates was able to begin putting together the
findings they had to this point into a series of conclusions about the state
of the'lake and the problem areas and, hopefully, the Commission would have
some preliminary indication of that by the end of the year. The finaZ
report would come at the end of the contract�year.
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to table further
discussion on Moore Lake until a preliminary evaluation report was received
from Hickok & Associates. Upon a voice vote, a11 wting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
TABLED: EAST RII�ER tZO�D PROSECT COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:
This item remained tahled as there was no additional information.
OTHER BUSINESS:
A. ENVIRONMGNTAL EDUCATION CONSORTIUM:
Ms, gporre stated that one of the goals of this Commission was to promote
environmental awareness in the City of Fridley and appreciation for the
resources of this city. She stated that she had talked to Ms. Joyce Storla,
a member of the Minnesota Council on quality Education, about the possibility
of developing an environmental education program Eor the city. She asked
Ms. Storla to explain to her the kinds of resources available and Ms. Storla
had explained that there was a proposal deveLoped and funded by the Minnesota
Council on Quality Education that seemed to do the kinds of things Ms. Sporre
was talking about --developing an environmental education tool that could be
used by the community, teachers, oroanization leaders, and naturalists for
usin� canmunity resources. Ms. Storla had provided Ms. Sporre with a copy
of one that had been successful. Ms. Sporre thought that it was something
that ought to be going on in Fridley and it would accomplish one of the
Commission's goals.
, ��_ . .�
FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL CQNAffSSION MEL+TING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 11
Ms. Sporre said she wondered if this Commission would be interested in
proposing that kind of progYam. She could see Fridley taking a significant
role because of its rich resources, but Chat it really was an education
responsibility. The City had naturalists and a parks Department that could
draw it together. The Commission could request that the City prepare the
proposal using resources of the Department of Natural Resources, Department
of Education, and Minnesota Environmental Education Council. The Commission
would just be Che agent that brought it together to see that it happened.
Mr. Langenfeld stated.that he was interested in the idea, but that it would
have to be discussed further. He thought it was an opportunity that should
not be discarded.
Mr. Sabistina stated that he did not see any way that the Commission had
time to spend on this. The C�mission had many other more important things
to look at at this time. It would be better Co look at it later on,
Ms. Metcalf agreed with Mr. Sabistina.
Mr. Leek stated he was a little bit unclear as to the nature of the program
and maybe it would be appropriate for Afs. Sporre to put together a synopsis
of what she was proposing the city do and how she was proposing it be done,
and the steps to he taken by the Commission.
'�) MOTION by Dave Sabistina, seconded by Lee [inn Sporre, Chat, as Mr. Leek
suggested, Ms. Sporre put together a general outline o£ an environmental
education proposal and the implementation of it; and that copies of this
pxaposal be provided to the Commission for their review for discussion
purposes. Upon a�voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
B. PEOPLES, JOBS, & ENVIRONMENT - Co�unication from Metro C1ean Air
Committee
Mr. Leek stated that theze was going to be a seminar on "Peoples, Jobs, �
Environment" sponsored by the Metro Clean Air Committee about the
environment and related economic, employment, and social issues. It was
to be held November 5, 1977, at the St. Paul Vocational Technical Institute
and the fee was $3. Ite brought this to the Commission's attention in the
event any of the members would like to attend.
ADJOURNMENT :
MOTION by Connie Metcalf, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to adjourn the
meeting at 11;55 p.m. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion

Although there is conflict as to just how much leisure time people actuxlly
have, one cannot disagree with the fact that available leisure time to the
average citizen has certainly increased fran the dawn to dusk existence of this
generation's grandparents.
To conceive of leisure as a problem by itself would be next to meaningless;
however, when the trio of leisure time, greater mobility, and increased incane
are considered, increased participation in recreational activities is bound
to occur. At this point, municipal recreation may well become a vital
ingredient in the success or failure forntula for the continued life of this
nation's camwnities.
Recent national reports have shown an increase in recreational
�activities, especially among the people of working age. Tfi s increase in
participation and recreation has been sPecially noted in che areas
of outdoor recreation. Oth2!' increasing trends can be observed
in the growing amount of recreational f.acilities provided by pu6lic and
pt^tvaie agencies, the rise in expenditures for outdoor recreation, the in-
creased interest in private recreation areas, and the upgrading of planning
standards by the federal goverrcient f�or future developments.
Cities and towns across the country are feeling the pressures of
Papid]y increasing d�nands for recreation opportunities. At the same time,
they are finding that their existing park and recreation systems are not
adequate to haridle the increased demand.

This fncrease in demand is due in large part to the grovring number of
letsure hours available to most of the population because of shorter working
hours, earlier retirement and longer life spans. It is also the result of
greater population densities in and around the cities and the changing char-
acter of the population. This demaad will increase even further because of the
energy crisis.
— It wiTinot be enough in the future to provide only playgrounds,
Parks and Recreation Departments will have to explore new alternatives
and provide more recreational oppartunities for their camnunities.
Comnunities will continue to find themselves faced with increased
demand for recreation services from highly mobile populations living in situa-
tions of cultural heterogenity in an age of sophisticated technolog�. (Brauer,
1972� In order ta cope with rapidly changing a�d growing recreation programs,
cities will have to develop park and open space systems that are responsive
to recreation needs. These systans should provide maximum flexibility
fOP use with minimum development and adequate reserve capacity to meet future
demands.
��
This plan is a supplement to the City's Comprehensive Development Plan and
fulfills the Mandatory Planning Act requirements for a park and open space element
in the city's comprehensive planning. The plan is an inventory of existing
facilities and a guide for future decisions about priorities for acquisition,
park development, provision of recreation service.

Open space parka,recreation lands and facilities need to be planned
So that the several pieces becane a cohesive whol�. Any one portio� of
park land witfiin the system is important. The magnitude of that importance
is an arithmetic progr.ession when:any one peice of park and recreation
open space land is an integral part of and canplementary physically and
programatically to other park lands.
A park system is only as good as the sum total of its canponents,
not unlike a highway system. Consider the physical closing of a short
segment of I-694 in the spring and its subsequent effect on transprotation
when one segment fails.
The successful implementation and integrity of any system plan
depends on the several factors, but most important are the goals,
qbjectives and policies guiding the implementation. The goals
provide a direction for the cor�nunity to take in its planning that
reflects its values. Objectives provide attainable ends which move the
cmmunity closer to its goals. Finally, policies define the means that
shall be used to achieve the obiectives.
Listed below are the City of Fridley's goals and objectives for Parks,
recreation and open space development. If followed, these goals and
objectives should move the City of Fridley closer to a completely integrated
syst�n of parks and park development

MUNICIPAL PARK/OPEN SPACE SYSTEMS
The municipal level of government has the primary responsibility for
providing recreation facilities for its residents. In the urbanized
cartnunity, park and recreation areas are not just open spaces - they are
improtant elements of land use. The allocation of adequate and suitable
areas for recreational use by all age levels of the population is an
important element of the city's canprehensive planning. The city's current
park system is represneted on Map �1 (following page).
COh�1UNITY NEIGHBORHOOOS
Thirteen neighborhoods have been disignated by the city to assist in
identifying local needs and to create a local identity for the residents.
(See Map #2) Each of these neighborhoods has been designated on the basis
of major traffic,natural feature or land use barriers separa�ing them.
i�P #3)
Neighborhood and city recreation needs are determined on the basis of
several factors; ij adequacy of present parks on the basis of stated size/
population ratios, 2) suggested park service areas, 3) observed recreational
usage patterns of different population groups, 4) additional recreation
iacilities offered by the schools.
The needs discerned from this examination will then be contrasted and
canpared with the reports fran the Neighborhood identifying their park &
open space followed by citywide needs.

parks are not large enough to serve the surrounding neighborhood.
•:$ome of the City's parks do not provide neighborhood recreational needs.
•Adjacent lands shauld be acquired to improve the usefulness of some City parks.
•There is a substantial need for buildings to serve as shelter, storage and

•There is a lack of park planning and design tools, such as topographic maps and
aerial photos for the City. •
•The City's parks do not reflect the Proper relationships between activity areas.
•Adequate space is quite often not provided for use areas within each park.
'Adequate consideration is not given to safety and play supervision in the design

F. Neighborhood Park Playground: An area for intense recreational attivities,
such as field and court games, crafts. apparatus areas, skating, and
neighborhood centers. They should be 10 to 25 acres in size, depending
on neighborhood size, and be placed in proximity to elementary schools,
where possible, to make use of exisiting facilities.
6. Mini Park: Mini Parks are specialized facilities serving a concentrate�

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFf REPORT
729 Kimball Street N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.53, 1, B, requiring a minimum lot areas on a
'!ot recorded before December 29, 1955 of 7500 square feet.
Public purpose served is to avoid overcrowding in the residential
neighborhood and to avoid an excess burden on existing water and
sewer services.
Section 205.053, 4, A, requiring a front yard setback of 35 feet.
Public purpose served is to allow for off-street parkin9 without
encroaching on the public right of way. Also for aesthetic
considerat�on to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment
into the neigh6ors front yard.
B. STATED NARDSHIP:
No other land near by available for purchase, and to fit plan ��
on the lot variances required. Lot unbuildable without a variance,
C. ADMINISTRATIUE STAFF REVIELI:
Requests to build on sites such as this in the Riverview Heights
area have been common. The site is not located in the flood plain.
It appears that there is approximately 4 feet from the East property
line to the neighbor's garage. Neighboring front yard setbacks are
less than 35 feet. (Please refer to petitioner's survey).
Note: The address may be changed for this lot, when there is an
address change for the general area.
�
APP�ALS COMMISSION MP�TING - OCTOB�R Z�, 1977 Pa�e 5
Mr. Daughenbaugh shovred the Commission the plans he
had for the house he wanted to build on the lot in question.
�� He said that the request to reduce the lot size was a matter
of practicality� since there was no adjacent land he could
purchase to bring the lot size up to 7500 square feet.
Mr. Daughenbaugh indicated that the front yard setback
variance ��ras being requested for a number of reasons. He
explained that the nei�hboring garages lvere not set back
to the required 35 feet; therefore he wanted the variance
to enable his proposed structure to be consistent r�ith the
neighborhood. He said that he rrould also like to have more
back yard space and there rras tv�o trees in the back yard
that raouldn�t have to be removed if the variance ��ras granted.
Mr. Daughenbaugh said that the house v�ould be a split
entry house, ti��ith tvao bedrooms on the main floor and a
possible tti•ro bedrooms in the lo�ver level.
Mr. Kemper asked if Mr. Daughenbaugh cras the builder.
Mr. Daughenbaugh said that he �ras the o�tner and that
he would also be the builder.
Mr. Kemper asked if Mr. Daughenbaugh v�ould be living in
the proposed house.
� Mr. Daughenbaugh said that he rrasn�t sure. He said that
his wife eras not entirely convinced that she �vanted to live
in that house. He said that there �rould be a possiblity that
it v�ould be a speculation; but he said that as far as he knew�
they v�ould be living in the house themselves.
Mr. Russell Tenney of 725 Kimball Street NE� indicated
that he had no objections to the granting of the variances.
Chairperson Schnabel questioned the NOTE: that appeared
in the Administrative Staff Report that stated that the
address may be changed for this lot, r�hen there is an address
change for the general area.
Mr. Tenney indicated that his address was 725 Kimball
Street NE and the house directly across the street from him
r�as 666 Kimball Street.
Mr. FIolden said that the tti��o lots srere already served
�vith se�aer and r�ater� so there vrould be no extra burden in the
area.
Ptr. Kemper asked if Mr. Daughenbaugh orrned the lots.
Mr. Daughenbaugh indicated that he did otivn the lots.

Chairperson Schnabel asked if there were any easement
requirements on the lots.
Mr. Daughenbaugh said that there were none indicated
on the survey.
MOTION by Mr. Kemper, seconded by Mr. Barna, to close
the Public ilearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye� the
motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing vaas closed
at 8:08 P.M.
Mr. Kemper said that since the property ti��as already
served by selver and t�rater� the reduction in the square footage
shouZdn't pose any problems. He said that the front yard
setback rras probably better at 30 feet than at the 35 foot
requirement from the aesthetic standpoint since the other
homes in the neighborhood vaere not setback 35 feet.
Mr. Plemel said that the proposed plans seemed to make
the best use of the land.
MOTION by Ms. Gabel, seconded by P•4r. Barna, that the
Appeals Commission approve the request for variances of
Fridley City Code as follovrs: Section 205.053, 1� B, to reduce
the lot area for a lot platted before Deceraber 29, t955,

Section 205.053, 4, [B,1] requiring a 10 foot side yard setback
for living areas in an R-1 zone.
Public purpose served by this section of the code is to maintain
a minimum of 20 feet between living area in adjacent structures
and 15 feet between garage and living areas in adjacent structures
to reduce exposure to conflagration af fire. Also to allow aesthetically
pleasing open areas around residential structures.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
We woutd like a 10 foot wide porch and cannot build one without a
variance.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT:
field measurements shotia that there would be 2D feet between the
proposed addition and the neighboring garage. A question of
drairtage has been raised, but out Engineering Department has
checked and found that if adjacent landscapiny was not disturbed
the drainage would be unaffected.
Mr. Krantz showed the Commission a detailed plan of ��rhat he
intended to do. Mr. Holden shotved them the survey.
Mr. Krantz explained that he ��ranted to construct a
10 ft by 22 ft three season porch. He said that the existing
house was 26 ft by 46 ft. He said that 19� feet from the lot
line he i�ranted to have the porch placed. Iie indicated that.
the nearest neighbor had a garage that ���as 11z feet from the
lot line. Iie said that there ��rould still be 20 feet from the
proposed porch to the garage and 30 feet beti�reen the living
areas. Mr. Krantz said that he had discussed his plans with
the neighbor and he had been in agreement.
Mr. Kemper pointed out that the neighbor's garage was
a single stall garage. He L�anted to knorr ho��r Mr. Krantz �
porch crould effect the neighbor should, in the future, he
decide to make his single garage into a double garage.
Atr. Kenper said that, ivithout a variance, the nei�hbor
e+ould only have 6� feet to enable him to add to the existing
garage. He asked again if Mr. Krantz had talked vrith the
neighbor.
.�_�
;_
- or,ma�rR �5. i
Mr. Krantz said thai; he had talked with the neighbor and
that the only concern had been the subject of drainage. He �
said that the neighbor had had some previous experience r�ith
vrater in the basement and he vras concerned that maybe in moving
his roof line out that much closer to his structure that he
might possibly have a reoccurance of that problem.
Mr. Krantz said that he had given the neighbor a statement
in r�riting that if that should happen, hevtould put eaves
troughs that rrould direct the water do�vn beloei his lot.
hir. Holden pointed out that the Engineering Department
had checked on that subject and found that if the adjacent
landscaping cras not disturbed, the drainage i�rould be uneffected.
Chairperson Schnabel asked if tdr. Krantz could foresee
that in the future he t�rould turn the porch into nermanent,
year-round living quarters.
Mr. I.rantz said that the porch rrould be completely
enclosed but that there Lroulcl be no source of artificial
hea.t. He sa?d that his family did not need the space for
living ouarters and that he didn�t foresee making it into
permanent living quarters as lon� as he o�vned the house.
He said that the porch vrould only be an enclosed porch that
vrould be carpeted and insulated.
Mr. Yemper asked if the porch raould be the full rridth of �
the existing house.
Mr. Krantz said that it raould not be the full l+ridth,
He said that the hause ti�as 26 ft v�ide and the Maximum eriath
of the porch r�ould be 22 feet. He said that the frcnt of the
porch i��ould be flush tivith the house and that the roof Zine
rrould be extended to include the porch. He said that the
remainder of the space to the rear of the porch rrould be used
as covered patio since the roof line would be extended the full
26 feet.
Chairperson Schnabel asked hoi�r vride the overhang i�rould be,
P�r. Krantz said that tiie overhang rrould be 36 inches beyond
the porch.
Chairperson Schnabel asked if it i�rould be a cement slab
construction.
