Mr. Acosta indicated that each of the lots in question were
T2�327 square feet vrhich were adequate to build an R-1 dwelling,
He said that service to the lots tivere provided near-by and that
no easements were required.
Chairperson Harris questioned hova much of the vacated Grand
Avenue would go to Mr. Brottlund's property. He said that the
original plat had showed the entire Grand Avenue as part of the
parcel and he wanted to knotiv exaetly how much would �o to his
property.
Mr. Brottlund said that only z oi the vacated Grand Avenue �vould
go to his property�
Mr. Kenneth Hughes of 6424 Ashton Avenue DI, E, indicated that
he had been led to believe that the entire Grand Avenue vacation
was to go to the prop�erty o��rner to the �ast of Grand Avenue and
not split in � v�ith � to the East property owners and � to the
West pxoperty otivners, He said that he still was questioning
the distribution of the land of the vacated Grand Avenue,
Chairperson Harris said that the normal procedure tivas that in
the original P1at if the dedication for the Street had come
from z of Mr. Hughes' plat and z came fram Mr. Brottlund�s Plat

original plat.
Mr. Hughes said that so�eone v�ould have to go back to the ,�
ORIGINAL plat and decide exactly vrhere ihe dedication for the
Grand Avenue had come from, He said that he still had questions
as to the exact ovmership of the vacated land.
Mr. Hughes said that he felt the same regarding these lots as
he had �vhen Mr, Brottlund had proposed to build duplexes on the
lots� He said that due to the Iack of any parks in the area, he
would like to see the lots remain vacant, to be used as park land
rather than more houses.
Mr. Brottlund indicated that it ��as part of a surveyor's job to
do all the research necessary to knov� exactly tivhat belongs where
when he does a replat of property. He said that before it can
get final approval all the facts have to be substantiated.
Chairperson Harris said that the lots �vere zoned R-1. He wanted
to know h4r. Brottlund's intent for the property.
Mr. Brottlund said that he planned to construct ttiao single family
d�vellings�

�state 10 office and the tiPausau Model Homes there ��rere some R-3
properties� but that basically it eras an R-t zoned area
surrounding the proposed development site.

Mr. Acosta said thai he wasn'i sure.
The Planning Commission also discussed the Plat of the area
in question. The map that Mr. Acosta sho�ved them and the Plat
did not agree in several aspects,
Mr. Jim Villella of 5323 Matahorn Circle (representing Sundial
Realty Company) indicated that most of the land that was c].ose
to the proposed building had such a steep drop that he didn�t
believe that anyone vrould or could build on that hi21.

the building. �

like the property vrith the steep incline and he said that

�
�
problems.

unanimously. The Human Resources Commission minutes of
� November 3, 1977, were received at 8:53 P.M,

Mr. Peterson said that he t��as very disappointed vrith what had
been furnished to the Planning Commission regarding the
Rezoning Request, ZOA #77-04, by Sundial Realty Company,
He felt that at that point in time they should have been
furnished with more answers and more detail than ivhat they
had received, He felt that the Planning Commission had
embarrassed the gentlemen from the Real Estate Company
because the Commission didn't know e�hat they srere doing.
He wanted Staff to be infor�ned that wahen such items are to
be handled by the Planning Commission, that the Commission
get more complete information rather than having to �uess about
it.
5. CONTINU�D: PARK AND OPBN SPACE PLAN
Mr. Ray Leek y+as present at the Planning Commission meeting
basically as an observer, but also to help ansvrer questions
that he might have the ans�aers to.
Chairperson Harris said that Mr. Boardman had been asked
� for more information segarding Page 20 oY the Parks and Open
Space Plan, "Acquisition of properties".
Chairperson Harris said that the Planning Commission had felt
that the acquisition of properties was a KEY ZSSUE of the Plan,
Mr. Leek indicated that he preferred not to give his vierlpo?nts
on the issue mainly because it had been quite some time since
he had actually worked ivith the document. He said that he
hadn�t formulized any ideas at that time.
Mr. Peterson said that he understood that there was a problem
of management and of reporting, but as the Chairman of the
Parks and Recreation Commission and knowing the problems of
Administration and kno���ing of the problems they ran into v�hen
dealing with the Public, he found it difficult to feel
comfortable vrith all the statements that are made on the
Planning Commission, Iie found it difficult tivith all
that's inputted by Staff that really is not the actioi, of the
Parks and Recreation Commission. He said that either the Parks
and Recreation Commission is there for a purpose or it's not.
He said that he didn�t feel comfortable �'tivith al1 the cooks that are
workin� on the stev���.
�
PLANNING COMMISSIOAI t4T:ETING - NOVI�f�Bi;R 23, 1977 Pat�e 8
Mr. Peterson caid that specifically what he objected to was
thai vrording should not be changed r�ithout the Parks and �
Recreation Commission having somethin� to say about it. He
said that the Parks and Recreation Commission had �vorked for
better than a year on the Plan. He didn't think it utas the
purpose of the Planning Commission to go through and change
words and paragraphs. He didn't think the Planning Commission
should be spending their time amending the Plan on a:vord-to-
vaord basis, Mr. Peterson said that he c�as upset because of
the fact that it is said io be okay to change it because Staff
has drarm it up or Staff has put it in. He �ras upset because
the Parks and Recreation Director has never appeared in front
of the Commission. He said it wasn't right to do all the
changing because the Parks and Recreation staff has spent
many hours putting the document together,
Mr. Langenfeld asked if Mr. Peterson ivas trying to say�
�'this is our document, leave it alone"?
Mr. Peterson said that rather than the Planning Commission
spending their time amending the document, that if they
disagreed 1•rith crhat tivas in the Plan, then they should send it
back to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Ms. Shea said that she thought that it vaas the Planning
Commission's job to go through the different ordinances and
plans. She said that basically the sub-commissions are to �
recommend to Planning Commission� who recommends to City Council.
Chairperson Harris said that ivhen the planni.ng Commission ��ent
through the Parks and Open Space Plan, there vrere some statements
made� especially in the Summary of Findings� that could not be
agreed eaith.
Mr. Oquist said that he felt that that i*�as somebody�s findings
and they have to be accepted as findings made, He said that it
vJas a sunmary of findings, by a group of people that had
permission to do that, He said some of the things stated,
people have ,JOrked ��rith and they should be taken as facts�
Mr. Peterson felt that a lot of time r�as being spent doing
each others rvork. He said that he didn't quite understand
rrhat City Council had in mind <<�hen they came up tvith the
Charter Revision to change the Commission set-up and he
didn't feel that City Council kne�v �vhat they �vere doing either.
Chairperson Harris said that he personally felt that the 26
members of all the Commissions really made up the Planning
Commission. He felt that the Planning Commission represented
the member coMmission. He felt that if the Lnvironmental
Commission had an idea that could be of benefit to the Human
Resources Commission� he coul.dn�t see anything v�rong tivith tke
cros�-over. �
PLAT�'1ITTG COMMISSIOPd M�F.TIPIG - PIOVI3�4BER 2� 1977 Pat�e 9
Mr. Peterson said that he l�ras not uncamfortable rlith the cross-
� over but ho��r the cross-over was accomplished. He said that
his main concern i�ras to protect the integrity of rJhat the
Parks and Recreation Comni�sion had done and to protect the
integrity of the Planning Commission vaithin the Charter.
Chairperson Fiarris felt that the Parks and Open Space Plan
should be reviei�red by all the Commissions because it affected
all the Commissions in some vray,
Mr. Peterson agreed that it did affect a11 the Commissions.
Iie said that the Parks and Recreation Commission should have
been getting continuous feedback regarding all the amending
that had been going on.
Chairperson Harris said that there �vere some recommendations
in the "Policy and RecoMmendations" section that effected
every citizen in the Community and every piece of land in the
community. He felt that it iras in the realm of the Planning
Commission to have input on the docuraent.
Chairperson Iiarris said that if Mr. Peterson wanted it, the
document �rould go to City Council exactly in its original form
but he said that another document ti��ith the input from Human
Resources Commission, Community Development Commission, and
the Environmental Commission t��ould also have to be submitted to
� City Council.
MOTiON by Ms, Shea� seconded by Mr, Oquist, that the Parks and
Open Space Plan be continued and that Chairperson Harris meet
v�ith City Council to find out r�hat they vrant in the Plan and
what direction they vrant the Planning Commission to go in.
Chairperson Harris said that the Planning Commission 1*�as
looking at the parks and Open Space Plan as an overall thing
�vhich vrould effect everybody in the City of Fridley.
Chairperson Harris requested that the Parks and Open Space
Plan be placed on the City Council agenda for November 28, 1977.
Chairperson fIarris indicated that if a Plan is drativn up it
�hould only be dravJn up for the purpose of implementing it.
Mr, Oquist said that the Parks and Open Space P1an had been
'�pushed�� through the Community Development Commission because
of the time element to get the fundin�.
Chairperson Harris said that he personally objected to drar�ing
up plans just for funding purposes.
Mr. Oquist said that tivhai ivas wanted �•ras a t�rorking document.
: �
PLAPINIPIG COP+R�IISSIQPd M��TING - NOVI:MB�R 23� 1977 Pa�e 10
Mr. Peterson said that tvith the Parks and Recreation�s budget
and commitments, the Parks and Open Space Plan ��ras not a �
�aorkint� document.
Chairperson Harris asked why the Plan was being dravrn up.
He said that it L�as ridiculous to draw a document so they
had something to shorr the Metropolitan Council. If we don't
fully intend to implement the Plan� then it shouldn't be
dracm up.
Mr. Peterson said that there vaould be no eray that the Parks
and Open Space Plan could be implemented in the City of
Fridley.
UPOPd A VOICE VOTE� all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously. The Parks and Open Space Plan <<ras continued
and Chairperson Aarris v�ould take the issue to the City
Council meeting on November 28, 1977, to clarify rahat they
vaanted in regards to the Parks and Open Space P1an.
There rJas a brief discussion regarding the actual role that
the Commissions had in revie�ving documents�
It v�as decided that it shouI.d be reviee�ed as a document and
not proofread. If the Commission does not agree ti✓ith the
document� then return it to the originator for retivriting.
Mr. Peterson sazd that the PZanning Commission should either �
accept the Parks and Open Space Plan as it v�as written or
not accept it and send it back to the Parks and Recreation
Commission to have it rei=rritten. He said that it ti�asn�t up
to the Planning Commission to rewrite the Parks and Open Space
Plan.
Chairperson Harris stated that he was in disagreement tivith
some of the findings, not all of them, and he felt it �vas
the purpose of reviei�ring ihe Plan to indicate which items that
he was in disagreement baith and t•ahy.
Mr. Oquist said that if P4r. Harris e�ras in disa�reement vaith
the Summary of Findings� then the rest of the document r�as
useless because the rest of the document �vas based on the
Summary of rindings, He said that vrithout first agreeing tiarith
the Summary of Findings� you can't do anything vaith the rest
of the document. He said that everyone should have been in
agreement with the Summary of I�'indin�s before the rest of the
document �vas even a�aritten,
�
PLANNING COt��(TSSION MF'PTIPTG - NOVPMBFR 23, 1977 Pat�e 11
Mr. Peterson said that that iF�as iahy he had been uncomfortable
rtith vrhat v�as happening, He felt that at this point that the
�, Summary of Findings should have either been accepted or
rejected; and if it r�as rejected, then it should have been sent
hacY, to the Parks and Recreation Gommission. He said that
the Planning Commission should have said that they disagreed
with certain findings for stated reasons and requested that
they be retivritten and resubmitted for their revievr�
6. HOUSING MAINT�PiAPTCE COn^
Mr, Acosta said that the cost breakdo��fn of the Housing

the Code i�ould be cliscussed at the January City Council
Conference meeting.

Chairperson Harris said that he had been at the second reading
of the Sign Ordinance, He said that the Ordinance cJas passed
v�ithout amendments. He rrished to thank all the member
commissions and the Sign Comr.iittee for all the hard r�ork and
all the hours that they put on it, He felt that they had done
a�ood job and he thought that it i-�ras a good Qrdinance,
Mr. Acosta asl�ed a_f anyone from the Public r•rere present at the
meeting that may have opposed the passing o£ the Sign
� Ordinance.
Chairperson Harris said that no one 1^ras there to oppose it
from the Public.
Mr. Oquist said ihat he felt that better communications ivas
needed in the Community, He said that no one opposed because
not,that many people t�rere really atirare of the fact that the
Sign Ordinance rras being heard or voted on.
Mr. Langenfeld said that if the people knetiv l��hat was happening,
that City Hall vrould have been packed,
There r�as a brief discussion regarding ivays to better inform

�
PLANNING CON[MINSIOPt MTT'TING - PIOVL�IBT'R 2', 1977 Pa,�e 12
Chairperson Harris asked each of the members to think on the �
idea and to let him kno��r their ideas.
Mr. Peterson said that indeed the F�17:RGY CRISIS is a real thing.
He felt that there i�iere other commicsions that could deal
with the problem better than creating another separate commission.
Mr. Lan�enfeld said that the entire Commission set up, the
way it �aas, had qualified people that could deal vrith the
�nergy problem.
Mr. Oquist said that it ��ras a very narrow charter for a
Commission.
Mr. Peterson felt that it cauld be better handled as a
citizen committee under Community Development.
Chairperson Harris said that they rrere going to look
around the Community and recommend eJays that the City of
Fridley could save energy.
Chairperson Harris asked the members to give soMe thoughts
to the idea and �arite them doi+n as to i�rhai to do regarding
an Energy Commission. He felt that if an Energy Commission
was develcped then all the codes and ordinances �vould have
to be looked at specifically from the Energy Standpoint, �
which �vas usually done any��ay., He didn�t feel that another
commission just for ��rnergy�� items �vas necessary. He had
given some thought that very possibly the Energy item would
actually belong under the jurisdiction of the ^nnvironmental
Commission. He said that possibly the name of the commission
could be changed to the �'Environmental and �nergy Commission",
Mr, Langenfeld said that he felt that they did inter-relate,
Chairperson Iiarris said that possibly the Planning Commission
as a ti��hole shoul@ be the Energy Comarission. He said that
every one of the menber commisUions tivere concerned with
energy�
Mr. Peterson requested that Mr. Iiarris not let them create a
�vhole ne4v Commission for �ner�y.
Chairperson FIarris asked that they think about the matter and
also think about trhat the Pnergy Commission shou2d be looking at
and doing and v�hat the goals should be.
ADJOURNM�NT

UPQt3 A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, THE MOTION TO RECEIVE THE PROPOSED NOISE
CONTROI. ORDINANCE CARRIED UNAAIIMOUSLY.
t�pTipN by Hubert Lindblad, seconded by Connie Modig, to continue discussion
of the proposed Noise Control Ordinance at the next meeting. Upon a voice
vote, all votiug aye, the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE "ADVISORY STANDARDS FOR LAND USE REGULATION":
MOTION by A1 Gahel, seconded by Hubert Lindblad, to receive the "Advisory
Standards for Land Use Regulation^.
Mr. Oquist stated that this document dealt with the problem he felt they
had in Fridley in that lot sizes and house sizes should be cut down and a
garage requiremenC should be considered in order to get houses in the price
xange that people could aftord. He stated he did not necessarily agree with
the garage requirement stated in the document, but realized garages were quite
expensive.
Ms. Modig stated that the garage requirement in the document stated that
conatruction allow for pZacement af a future garage and not that the garage
had to be buiZt at the same time as the house.
Mr. Lindblad stated that this Couanission had discussed this before and he �
felt there was no need to rehash it as Fridley really did not have that much
land left for new housing.
Mr. Acosta stated that the residentia2 areas were 90% built. However, he
stated that there were huge tracts of land suitable for housing that were
presently zoned indastrial. He'stated that these tracts of land could be
rezoned as resideatiai at some point in the future.
Mr. Acosta stated that Metro-Council may get to the point where they wwld
want this regulation to supersede all present city zoning ordinances in the
Twln City Metropolitan area. He believed the biggest thiag was the lot size.
$e also stated that the Coa�ission might want to be aware nf what was called
the "patchwork" where there were large houses next to smaller houses.
gridley had that situation. There might be that odd lot between average size
houses where someone would want to build a small house, and there might be
some people who would object to that.
I&'. Lindblad stated that he did not believe in the Metropolitan Council.
�e thought that, in time, the cities and viliages were going to haye Less
and less to say about what went on in their own cities. This document was
a good example where Metro-Council was laying down the rules and telling
the cities how they shou2d build.
Mr. Oq�ist stated that the Co�ission should use this document as a guide
when getting into'the Zoniicg Code and the Building Code. He stated he did �
feel garages were necessary for storage and should be buiit.

Public purpose served by this section of the code is to maintain
a minimum of 20 feet between 7iving areas in adjacent structures
and 75 feet between garage and ]iving areas in adjacent structures
ta reduce exposure to conflagration of fiire. Also to allow for
ae�thetical7y pleasing open areas around residential structures.
B. STATED NARDSHIP:
Lot terrain made exact location of footings difficult, and swamp
in rear made us hold the house close to the front lit�e.
C. ADt7INISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEIJ:
This house was brought forv�ard more than what was shown in the °�
proposed site location submitted with the permit application.
Staff notes that it was difficult to detercnine the exact location
of the 5outh property line due to several traes, steep cuts i� the
bank, and a southwest iot iron located across a swamp. The h��se
Lo the south is 34.2 feet from the cormnon property ]ine involved.
P4r, Richard Huss ti�as present at the meeting, representing
Harstad & Todd Construction.
Chairperson Schnabel asked �vhen the house in.question had
been constructed and vrhen the discrepancy had been disconered.
Mr, Huss said that the house had been constructed appro�timately
90 days previous and that the discrepancy had been discovered
vrhen he applied for the certified survey.
P4r. Huss agreed tivith Chairperson Schnabel that it cuas
the front lot line that was off and not the rear ].ot line.
Chairperson Schnabel requested Mr, Huss to indicate on
the picture ivhere the lot line tivas exactly located.
Mr, Huss indicated that the error had been attributed to
a number of things. Iie said that on paper, it had looked like
it woulck have wOrked, but in sea.lity there vaas no ti��ay that it
could have been situated exactly as it had been draam in.

Mr. Kemper indicated that �•rhen sitings were difficult and
� that close of tolerence e3:isted betiveen the 1ot 1ine�, he ;elt
that.all that much more care should have been taken, He said
that it vras all the more difficult to approve a variance after
the entire structure was complete.
Chairperson Schnabel indicated that the only alternative
the Appeals Commission had eias to recommend that some additional
land be purchased from the adjacent property owners; or else
they rrould have to grant the variance.
Mr. Kemper said that the �ngineering Department and Staff
should have really checked much more carefully.
Chairperson Schnabel pointed out that when the petitioner
ti+ent in to City Hall with his proposed site location, evidently
it had showed a house that fit properly on the lot 'an3 required
no variances, She said that most likel.y �vhen the footings had
been dug� that the house had been shifted,
Chairperson Schnabel read a comment that had been made on
the Commission Application Revier�, ��It is after the fact� but
islhy did property ovmer indicate a 12 ft, side yard setback with
a smaller front yard setback initially. If accurate information
had been submitted initially, a house revision could have been
made and no variance required.��
Mr. Kemper said that : by the scale of that drarring,
a person could see that it �aould not have ivorked.
Chairperson Schnabel indicated that the adjacent house
tvas 34.2 feet from the comnon property line, so that there
tivas adequate space betiveen the structures.
Mr. Kenper said that he didn't �eel that the public purpose
��ras being violated. He said that his concern ti�as vrith the ivay
the entire thing had been handled, He said that it .vas obvious
to untrained eye that the scale of the drawing 1�ras ivrong. He
said that the construction of the house should not have been
allo��ed r�ith the poor quality of drarring that had been presented.
He said that the �ngineering Department should be cautioned
to do a better job to see to it that the drati�rings submitted at
the time that building permits are issued are scaled correctly.
He again said that he had no problem irith the puolic purpose
he only had a problem tvith the vray it was done.
MOTION by P•4r. Plemel, seconded by hir, Barna, to close the

Ms. Gabel agreed e�ith Mr. Kemper�s comments. She said
that the situation should not have happened, She indicated �
that since it vras already done, and there ��as enou�h open
space between the structures to keep urithin the intent of
the code, it rrould have to be ��lived" with,
Mr. Barna supported the comments by Mr. Kemper. He
said that it should not have happened, but it did happen, and
the house ivas already constructed and he said it vlould be
after-the-fact to deny the variance. He said that the expense
of moving the structure rroul.d go onto the City Council and he
doubted that they ��ould tell them to move the structure,
Chairperson Schnabel didn't feel that moving the house
t�aould be the alternative, She said that a motion could be
made to have ths petitioner purchase some additional land
from the adjacent property orrner.
Mr. Barna said that any alternative vrould most likely
be very expensive. He didn't feel it t•fas the Appeals Commission's
position to ��punish" somebody for having made an obvious error,
He did point out that this rias a very "obvious error" that should
not have happened,
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Ms, Gabel, that the
kppeals Commission approve the request for variance of the
Fridley City Code� Section 205.053,1�,B, to reduce the side yard �
adjoining living area from the required 10 feet to 8.8 feet,
to accomodate an error in placement of the house on the lo�,
located on Lot 20, Block 1, Innsbruch North Second Addition,
the s�ane being i4o6 ':lest Danube Road N�E., Fridley, Minnesota,
:�r. Barna made the comment that this �vas an avoidable
error and he hoped that it did not happen again,
Ms. Gabel said �hat she t�rould be eailling to vote against
the variance if she �hought it �.ould do any good.

Mr. Dondlinger indicated on the survey the exact locations
of the house, garage� and family room.
Mr. Kemper asked if the family room previously had been
the patio.
Mr. Dondlinger said that the original patio was converted
into a family room previous to rrhen he purchased the house,
Chairperson 5chnabel read a statement from the Buildin�
Permit that had been issued 11/07/61, "Patio on back of garage
cannot be enclosed, must remain patio or porch�t. She said that
tivhen the family room svas added, the people adding the family
room did so eJithout a building permit.
Mr. Kemper asked hocv the fire started.
Mr. Dondlinger said that it ���as caused by a Ben Franklin
stove that didn't have an insulated chimney.
Mr, Dondlinger said that he sras planning to extend the
entire house back five feet into the rear yard,
Mr. Dondlinger reinforced Chairperson Schnabel's statement
that the neighbors' garage did get blistered by the fire in his
family room.
Ms. Gabel asked if the Fire Department had been able to
go bet�aeen the tlro houses.
Mr. Dondlinger said that they had been able to get bet�veen
the te�o structures.
MOTION by Ms. Gabel, seconded by Mr. Barna� that the
Appeals Commission receive a letter dated November 15, 197�,

APPPALS COt�fI�fIS�I�N P9TT?TING - PdOV'�4I3FR 29,z 1977 PaP�e 7 ,�
Chairperson Schnabel pointed out that in the early
� 1970�s the reques.t to enclose patios and porches v�as going
before the Appeals Commission very often,
Ms. Gabel said that since the statement had been issued
on a Building Permit in tg6ti, that the Anpeals Commission had
to keep in mind that styles of living has chan�ed, She felt
that family rooms had become a very big part of the lives of
a lot of people, She said that I4r. Dond].inger had bought the
house �vith the intent that he v�ould have a family room, She
said that he had nothing to do vrith the fact that the family
room had been built vrithout a building permit.
Mr. Plemel said that he realized that to deny the request
u7ould be penalizing T�r. Dondlinger, but he said to approve it
would seem that the �lppeals Commission was undermining the
Staff's objective of making the statement.
Chairperson Schnabel said that the other side of the
issue �=ras that had the fire not occurxed, PSr. Dondlinger ��rould
be utilizing his family room that he had purchased �aith the
house. She indicated that another point to consider tiras that
in the course of the fire, the adjacent garage only blistered
rather than actually catching fire, She felt that that could
be a strong case for allo�rino the construction of the family
room in the sarne location. She said that �,ith no opening� ir.
� that adjacent ��all lvould reduce the chances even more of
conflagration of fire.
Mr. Barna indica�ed that Mr, Dondlinger vrould l�e required
to have a fire lvall betrreen the living area and the garage.
Mr. Dondlinger said that there would also be a fire vfall
along the lot-line side of the family room.
Mr, Plemel felt that the Appeals Commission i+rould be
condoning un-authorized construction if they star.t routinely
approving these types of requests,
P�ir. Barna said that the �ppeals Commission could lo�ak_ai�
the idea that there vras not a family room presently there and
that his kitchen had been destroyed and that he vranted to add
a iamily room in the area beiiind the �arage, FIe said that he
��rould have no objections raith that request at a11.
P4r. Kemper said that if a person buys a house 1�rith a
family room and the fanily room ti��as destroyed by fire, that
person should be able to rebuild it if he so desires.

the Pub�ic IIearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the •
motion carried unanimoi,isly. The Public Hearing �aas closed
at 8:20 P.t�I.
MOTION by Ms. Gabel, seconded by Mr. Kemper, that the

adjoining living areas from the required 10 feet� to approximately
6 feet, to allo��r a family room destroyed by fire, be rebuilt

being 71�21 Lyric Lane N.P,� Fridley} Niinnesota, ��ith the stipulation
that the adjacent t��all of the fanily room be a fire vrall tivith
no openings,
Chairperson Schnabel pointed out that the statement that
had been made on the tg6t Building Permit had been keeping tvith
the Zonin� Ordinance. Hoe�ever, she said that if the person
chose to enclose the patio/porch, they tirould have had a right
to appeal.
Mr. Plemel didn�t feel there �•ras a hardship for
Mr. DondZinger in terms of space for his family.
Pis. Gabel said that PSr, Dondlinger had bou�ht a kouse
��rith a family room, She didn't think that the l�ppeals
Commission r�as justified to devalue the price he paid for the �
housa and penalizing him for something that happened prior
to his ocrnership. She said that the true hardship vras that
it �vould be taking something ati�iay from him that he had bougnt
and paid for.

Chairperson Schnabel said that the purpose of the memo ��as to
give the Planning Commission an idea of ��rhat v�ork that had
to be done through the remzinder of 19�7 and througk 1978.
Chairperson Schnabel explained that the reason the memo
rras �oing to the sub-commissions �•ras to let them decide
if there tvere some specific items that commission rrould like
to reviert before the Planning Commission revietved it so that
their inputs rrould be considered by the Planning Commission,
�
�
Chairperson Schnabel said that the 'LOning Code was one
item that she felt the Appeals Commission should take time
to reviet�� bEfore the Plannin� Cornmission, She said ihat the
Appeals Comr�issiom vrould probably revie�✓ it in December since
it r�as schecluled to be handled by the Planning Commission in
January. She said that if there t�iere certain areas that the
Appeals Commission find that there are a repetitive number
of appeals for variances� then maybe the original ordinance
�aas no lon�er valid and those types of things should be
reviev�ed.
Chairperson Schnabel �sked the other members if they
felt that the Zoning Ordinance should be first handled by
them.
r4s. Gabel said that basically the l�ppeals Commission
u�orks ti�ith the Zoning Ordinance all the time� She agreed that
the items that rrere being handled repeatedly should be the items
that the Commission should look at.
Mr, Kemper felt that it rras a good idea, but he dicln't feel
that the members riould have the time to go through the entire
Zoning Ordinance.
Chairperson Schna:bel suggested that each Conmission member
could take one section of the Zoning Ordinance, She said that
the members could give their section some thought as to rrhat
types of' recommendations could be made. She said that each
member could brin� their recommendation� to the meeting and
they could be discussed by the entire Commission,
P4r. Kemper suggested that Staff be requested to make a
summary of those Aaragraphs that have been subject to variance
action, hovar�an� times each paragra�h hzd been addressed, and.
vrhether or not the AppealU Commission approved or disapproved
the request. He felt that that rray it vaould be more accurate
rather than depending on the Appeals Commission member's
memory entirely.
Chairperson Schnabel said that she planned to talk to
Mr. Boardman to get a better idea as to lvhat he ���ould be
looking for in the revier;s by the sub-commissions, She said
that she ��iould be finding ov.t the exact reason u�hy the Ordinance
tiras being revierred - if there ;��as a specific reason or if it
oras just for ihe fact tliat they don't like to leaae an item
lilie the Zonir.g Ordinance go rrithout ever being revie»ed,
Mr. Plemel felt that it ��rould be very beneficial to him
to read through the Zoning Ordinance.
Chairperson Schnabel agreed to tallz to Mr. Boardman
re�arding ivhat direction the reviei�r of the Zoning Ordinance
should go and to request that someone from Staff could do a
study on the number of the paragraphs that have bean subject
� to variance action (Ordinance Plumber)� and the number of
times each of those paragraphs have been addressed.

:��
h4r. Kemper suggested that Ms� Schnabel ask Mr. Boardman
to expand even more and indicate if the Appeals Commission �
approved or denied the requests. He felt that even though
it rroulcl not have any bearing on the revie��r of the Ordinance,
it ti�aould be good statistical information.
Chairperson Schnabel asked the members of the Appeals
Commission Lo 7.00k at the items on the CTork Schedule and if
they felt that thexe rrere any other items that should be
discu�Uec2/revierred by the Commission to let her knoi�t. She
said it ��rould be necessary to set up the meetings
for their revieer ahead of the time that it was scheduled to
be revie�•red by the Planning Commission. She pointed out that
the Schedule r�ould only �vork ieell if each of the sub-
commissions have their evork done ahead of time. She said
that not a lot of time v�as being allo�ved. She said that
many of the items had to be done by certain times in order
to receive funding and that had been one of the guidelines in
setting up the Scheclule.
_ _
4. December 13� 1977 Appeais Coramission Meetin�
Chairperson Schnabel asked each of the members to "bone" up
on all the discussions that had been had during the past year
or so on 40 foot lots. She said that there rras going to be
requests for 1�0 foot lots at the becember 13th meeting.
Mr� Plemel said that they had just had a Iand sale �
in lnoka Gounty. He said that he remembered someone
buying five or six 1�0 foot lots at that time.
Chairperson Schnabel indicated that that was �he person
making the requests. She asked that the Commission members
review the ma.eeri:al so that they had firm convictions as
to hor� they felt about chat particular issue.
Ms� Gabel asked if the person i�iho bought those lot had
been totally airare of the fact that those Iots s�rere unbuildab2e.
P1r� Plemel said that the buyer had been made:aware<of::�he fact
that those lots vrere unbuildable.
5. Relocating the Ilppeals Commission Meetings
Chairperson Schnabel zndicated that ahe had been asked if the
AppealU Commission crould consider havins their mee�ings in the
ne�:� Community Room .�2 rather than in the Court Room, She
exnlained that the main reason for the request was for security
purposes. She said that it had been felt that if everything
could have been handled in the Community Room ;!2, then the up-
stairs portion of City Hall could have been locked off totally�

Chairnerson Schnabel yaid the the Appeals Commission �•�as
� not the type of Commi�sion that did a lot of diecussing amongst
themselves. She said that most item� handled by the Appeals
Corlmission involved Public liearir� ;s ancl �hai: the Court Room
proaided a better setting to handle the public hearin�s and
� to better control the dialo�. She said that she appreciated
their concern about the security but that s11e preferred
reraaining in the Court P,00n for the �_ppeals Commission
meetings, The members of the Corcmmission concurred.
6. Discussion on Council.
for Real
Mr, Kenper said that the first paragraph on page 5 of the
November 7� 1977, City Council meeting minutes indicated that
the lppeals Commission heard the request and reco�:mended that
ihe Maxiraum height be increzsed from six feet to 17 feet, He
said that that had not been an unanimous decision.
A'fs. Gabel added that that un-unanimous decision l��as
reacheci after much deliberation.
Mr. P1eu�e1 Uaid that the Appeals Commission had talked
about 17 feet being the ma.ximur: height of the total structure�
including the super-structure framing.
P�4r. Kemroer said that the Appeals Commission had spent
over one hour on the particular item. He said that he l�ras
concerned that City Council had asked one councilman to try
to ivork out a comprom;se. A4r. Kenper felt that if the
compromise arrived at by that one councilman ��ras significantly
different than r�hat had been a�reed upon, then he ���anted to see
the issue appear before the 1'lppeals Commission again.
Ms. Gabel saicl that the Appeals Commission had reauested
that the City Council look at the pictures depicting the
visibility of the Real �state 10 building on Hillr�ind Road NE
from Interstate 69!}. She said that the poini hadn't been
brought up that aiter the Appeals Commission studied the pictures
that they all felt differently,
hir. Kemper .fel.t that had the pictures been available at
the initial time of the rea,uest� the Appea].s Commission's
decision r�ould definitely been different.

} Chairperson Schnabel indicated that after the request
left the Appeals Commission and went to City Council, that the
petitioner decided to move the location of the sign.
Mr. Kemper said that the Appeals Commission had approved
a particular variance and he was avaare of the fact that
City Council could change it. However, he said that if the
request ���as materially changed from �vhat the Commission had
approved� then he felt that it should go back to the Appeals
Commission, He said that otherrrise there vaas no point in the
Appeals Commission hearing the request at all,
Mr. Plemel said that that type of thing made a Commission
membex ti�fonder about their vuorth.
Chairperson Schnabel said that many people t�ere becoming
irritated because recommendations that 1��ere being made to the
Council ��rere being totally ignored.
P4s. Gabel indicated that the City Council had approved
the request in question. She said that the size of the sign
had been changed from a 6x8 si�n to a 5x7 sign.
Mr. Yemper ivanted to knoi=✓ r-ihy, at the time the photographs
t�rere shoern to City Council, tnat it hadn�t been pointed out
that had the photographs been availa.be at the time of the
or•iginal request, that the Appeals CommiUsion rrould definitely
have reached a different conclusion. �
Ms, Gabel said that it hadn�t come across in the rninutes
�hat the Appeals Conmission indeed did feel differently after
vietving the photo�raphs.
Chairperson Schnabel said that it eaas unanimot.s that all
the members of �fihe Appeals Commission ti�rere frustrated, She
suggested that in the future rrhen things that �r�ere important
to the �aembers �Jere to be sent on to City Council, that perhaps
they should be more em�hatic about the item.

FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 22, 1977 Page 2.
DISCDSSION OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACE PLAN ��
Mr. Langenfeld stated that he appreciated the way in which the revisions of
Park and Open Space Plan were accomplished, wherein the small type indicated
changes Environmental Commission had made. He then asked for comments on
changes thus far and stated if there were none he wished to move on to
further corrections. He asked Commission members to follow him page by
page as he reviewed changes recommended by Planning Coimnission:
Page (1) - No change.
Page (2) - No change.
Page (3) - Bottom of page after GOAL: "Provide adequate park £acilities,
recreation opportunities, and a quality living environment for the residents."
Mr. Langenfeld stated Planning Commission did not agree with this being it is
already an established goal and therefore repetitious.
Ray Leek stated that he was not at the meeting, but assumed the re£erence was
to the fact that the goaZs and objectives as contained in this section were
adopted by the Planning Comm�ission. He then read from goal area for Human
Development under D. 100 -"Provide adequate park facilities and recreational
opportunities to insure health and well being of residents and to provide
quality of living environment."
Ms. Sporre asked if it was consistent with planning to put a Park statement
under Human DeveSopment, and not put it under Parks; she commented that she
had not heard of Human Development category before.
Mr. Leek indicated that none of the goals or objectives in this plan are
different from what is in the "goal statement" document for the City. The
only area of consistency Commission should be concerned with is that
the goal and objectives statement of the document agree with those estab-
lished by the City of Fridley. He further indicated that it was his under-
standing that Planning Comoussion position here was one of inerely reaffirm-
ing statement of goal that has been officially established.
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre that a copy of "Goals and Objectives" as adopted
by the City of Fridley be supplied for each member of the Environmental
Commission. Motion seconded by Dave Sabistina, and upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, motion passed unanimously.
Page 4, Item 2, top of page - Planning Coimnission asked that the secand sentence
"It is imperative that conservation of natural resources be one of the prim-
ery thrusts of parks and open space system." be deleted. First sentence was
then reworded to read: "Provide for natural conservation manaqement and
interpretation." Concurred.

�FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSZON MEETING NOVEMSER 22, 1977 Page 4:
Ms. Sporre discussed Ttem 15 and indicated she felt water ponding should be in-
cluded, stating there is a tendency to take wetlands and drain them to make
parks. 8fter fuzther discussion, Item 15 was revised to read: "JUdicious
and imaginative use of trees, shrubs, vines, lawn surfaces, and water resources;
good architectural design and 6uilding materials shou2d be made to ensure
attractive parks with appealing visual character." Concurred.
Page 25, item 16. Ms. Sporre asked ior a clarification of this item.
After some discussion, it was decided to revise to read: "Comparitively level
terrai.n in City Parks should be considered for active game areas and courts.
Natura2 slopes should be adapted to winter sports and activities, i.e. sledding
and tubing, and significant vegetative stands should be saved for their
aesthetic value." Ms. Sporre stated that this is consistent with planning
definitions for use in the City's critical areas. Concurred.
Referring to Item 18, Ms. Sporre asked if anyone knew what it costs to put
in a sewer toilet, and suggested if toilet facilities are to be put in parks
that City should consider the use of Clivus Multrum system, which is a com-
pletely self-enclosed toilet faoility that is eEficient and clean and is not
resource consuminq. Mr. Leek stated that the system interested him and that
the Commission could be assured that it will be considered by staff, but felt
the suggestion to be useful as a statement of information rather than to be ,
considered a part o£ the plan.
Referring to Item Z8, Parking Areas, Ms. Sporre stated that there are
methods of making them look very natural using block system with grass
allowed to grow; they can be plovred and there is Iess visual intrusion
than with asphalt. Mr. Leek noted that sometimes more conventional methods
ars �urned to by staff when making final decisions because of budget con-
" siderations.
Mr. Langenfeld announced that on December 7 Parks and Open Space Plan
wiil go before public hearing on Planning Commission level, and stated that
anything Commission members want inserted should be put in now and that if
review is not completed tonight, suggestions can still be made.
OBJECTiVE 3 �
Recommendations:
Mr. Leek stated that Parks and Recreation Commission is setting up a pro-
cedure where they can get back with neighborhood groups involved, beginning
in January; staff has Iandscape architect working on a schema that they feel
is good for each of the parks in the neiqhborhoods, and that will be pre-
sented as a base foz discussion.
FRIDliEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING, NQVEMBER 22, 1977 Page 5.
RECOMMENDATIONS - continued
OBJECTIVE 4: "Encourage the advancement of recreation opportunities for
all residents."
Lee Ann Sporre brought up question of snowbiling and her reservations
about permission for this activity in City parks. Discussion followed,
with Mr. Leek expressing feeling that it would be wrong to limit recreational
opportunities for residents if restrictions of this type were written into
the plan; that the plan should not regulate acCivity but simply set up a
basic series of guides and criteria. Mr. Langenfeld stated that the City
ordinances cover the various restrictions in this regard.
Mr. Langenfeld stated he liked Recommendations (1) and (5) under this
objective.
Item 5. "Explore the possibility of written working agreements
with area schools to use existing athletic facilities as intensive neighbor-
hood recreation areas with the option of obtaining ownership should decreas-
ing enrollments force the sale of such areas."
There was lengthy discussios on this recommendation, with Ms. Sporre
questioning why it is in the City's best interest to huy school facilities
should decreasing enrollment force the sale of such area? hfr. I.eek emphas-
ized that this did not exclude purchasing other property -- that it simply
suggests a working agreement with the schools wherein City would explore
the possibility of using existing facilities more intensively than presently
and if declining enxollment would lead to the necessity of divesting them-
selves of some property, then it is believed to be in City's best interest
to have option to purchase that property.
Mr. Langenfeld indicated he personally felt it was a good recommend-
ation and other members of Commission concurred, Ms. Sporre excepted. He
stated that it is important to remember here the definition of "option",
stating that it does not mean "to buy."
At this time Mr. Langenfeld suggested a time limit be set on discussion of
Parks and Open Space Plan so that it wi11 be possible to complete agenda.
Concurred. Mr. Langenfeld called a five minute break.
OBJECTIVE 5: "Provide for innovative space management to allow a bal-
ance of use, freedom and control, with safety as a prime
consideration.
Item 5. Delete "for the benefit of the community." (concurred)
,
Item 6. Delete "The North 2nnsbruck and West Moore Lake Dunes" so
that sentence begins "Natural history areas..." (concurred).
Item 7. Delete "West Moore Lake Dunes and North Innsbruck" so that
sentence reaTs: "Develop a natural history study program (for use by schools
and civic groups) describing the ecology of na�aral history areas. (concurred).
fiRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 22, 1977 Page 6.�
OIIJECTIVE S (cont'd) � � �
Item 8. Add "and watershed districts" so that sentence reads: "The
City should explore the possibility of organizing a land use seminar with
surrounding communities, representatives of the County and Metropolitan
region, and watershed districts to assess land use problems to be mutual2y
worked upon." (Concurred)
Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Leek if he wou2d make sure that when Commission
made statements, like in a finding, that these will be incorporated in
recommendations for the support of the finding. Mr. Leek responded that
to the best of his ability he would do that.
item 11. (new item) - there will be an item 11, Ms. Sporre said,
which will direct itse2f to limiting fertilizers and related materials
entering the City's waters.
Item 12. (new item) - City not disturb or remove dead or dying
trees in natural history or natural vegetative areas unless those trees
present a health or safety hazard to users of the areas." Concurred.
The above recommendation, item 12, came out of discussion of a study
done for the city by Don Fondrick, Brauer & Assoc. wherein it suggests that
City not remove dead trees in city parks unless they are in an area con-
sidered to be a hazard to leave them; that those dead trees become homes
to animal li£e that would ctherwise not be seen in Fridley if they were rot
there. Ms. Sporre auoted from the study for the benefit of inembers of '
Commission. Mr. Leek asked for a copy because he said they are now in
the process o£ writing the preliminary draft for the regulations for the
critical areas -- it deals not only with the Missiissippi but the creeks,
creek lands, etc. Ms. Sporre replied that City has fhis study.
Mr. Langenfeld expressed the £eeling that one would have to stipulate
other than diseased trees because of the tree ordinance. Ms. Sporre repZied
that natural areas can submit for an exemption to dead tree removal and
stated further that naturalists across the State disagree with the totality
of the program requiring removal of dead diseased trees.
MCTION by Ms. Sporre to approve the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation PIan.
as amended. Seconded by Bruce Peterson, and upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, MOTION carried unanimously.
Mr. Leek added ior information of Commission members that staff will be
making application, since Council gave appnoval, to have Islands of Peace
Park and Springbrook Natuze Center designated Regional Special Use Parks.
What has been written in those two sections will be somewhat affected by
the research that was done for the application, i.e. becoming more specific.
Beyond that, Mr. Leek said, a neighborhood discussion process is being set
up and there are twro things happening: 1) He will be meeting with Parks
and Recreation Committee at their next meeting and will be discussing what
they and staff will do with neighborhoods in the way of stimulating further
discussion regarding what they want in making design decisions for their
garks; 2) At the same timQ, City resident landscape architect is checking
land slopes, dimensions and general accuracy of maps and revising them, and
then creating attendant site plans for the areas.

care of and Mr. Leek responded in the affirmative.
Paqe 4, Sec. 124.07 - Snowmobile Requirements. Mr. Langenfeld asked
Mr. Leek if Chapter 703.04 is "our" Chaptex, and i£ it is incorporated.
Mr. Leek replied in the affirmative and gave members a reading of 703.04.
Ms. Sporre asked if 703.04 ordinance is en£ozceable without a DBA as
Richfield ordinance has. Mr. Leek asked for concurrence of Commission
members that if in going back to Richfield and other ordinances he were
to find the DBA level indiaated that he just include it before ordinance
goes on for iurther consideration. Unanimously concurred.
5ec. 124.10 Exceptions, last paragraph on page b. Mr. Langenfeld
asked about "The City shall notify by mail all property owners within
500 feet of the source..." N3r. Leek explained "500 feet" complies
with the woxding in the Bloomington ordinance.
Mr. Langenfeld expressed thanks to Mr. Leek ior the hard work he had
put into this, stating that he considers this ordinance very i.mportant,
and that he liked it.

I�7. REPORT ON "PEOPLE, JOBS AND THE ENVIRONMENT CONFERENCE"
Lee Ann Sporre attended conference on "People, Jobs and the Environment"
conference. There were representatives from the Minnesota Pollution
Control Aqency and the Environmental Protection Agency_ There was
discussion of what's been done with the new laws that have been designed
to control the various kinds of pollution. Following are some of the
points Ms. Sporre found interestinq: MPCA Director talked about power
plants and need for from 12 - 18 new ones in the State, explaining
accompanying hazards; the need and siting of these plants is decided by
Environmental Quality Board so orce the decision for need is made and siting
accomplished, then MPCA can look at plant -- she felt this to be a prob-
lem because h]PCA cannot enforce fiigh level conservation in this setting.
Hazardous and solid waste was discussed and it was reported that there
is no direct threat perceived in the area oE solid waste, so when it is
finally perceived it will be massive and foo 1ate. She reported t11at
there is a grant program now for resource recovery which might be checked
into for recycling. There was a report on toxic waste and the hign level
of exposure that some workers are experiencing, resulting in cancer and
other health hazards; a speaker irom the unions explained that they are
in the business of trying to protect people from this and provide the.'n
with a healthy working environment (Mr. Wodka from Oi1. Chemical & Atomix
Workers Union) -- he talked about radiation poisoning. Subject of
nuclear waste disposal was covered. And Ms. Sporre reported on the
afternoon discussion on transportation and there were representatives
from Department of Transportation, so she had a chance to discuss high-
ways and environmental i.mpact and she did find out that Northtown Corridors
study is not in compliance with the Federal Transportation Plan, so it
is going to have to be redone. There was discussion of personal rapid
transit system in downtown St. Paul and cultural e£fect that will have
on the who2e area. She stated that the Minnesota Department of Trans-
portation is going to have their transportation plan ready in the
Spring of 1978 and stated that she felt that is something City of Fridley
should get into very soon.
MOTTON by Dave Sabistina to receive report, seconded by Bruce Peterson.
t7pon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Langen£eld complimented Ms. Sporre on her report of this conference.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - DECEMBER 7, 1977 Pa�e 2
Mr. Boardman explained some of the items that had confused the
Planning Commission at the November 23, 1977, meeting,
He said that one of the plats that they had been shown had never
been filed and he indicated to the members the plat that they
should study, On the approved plat, Mr. Boardman, explained
the exact lots that were involved.
Mr, Boardman indicated that if the road is ever put in that
it would connect to FillmoreZhe was speaking of the Polk
Street extension).He said that depending on how the area
in question actually develops, it was possible that Polk Street
would form a cul-de-sac. He said that it was not foreseeable
that anything constructed on Po1k Street NE would be made
accessable from Hillwind Road,
Mr. Boardman said that another problem in the area was the
configuration of Hillwind and also the configuration of the
lots. He said ihat at some point in time, they would probably
be getting a replat of the area.
Chairperson Harris asked if a11 the lots in question were under
one owner.
Mr. Boardman said that there was multiple ownership in the area,
Mr. Boardman explained the zoning of the entire area,
Chairperson Harris specifically wanted to know the zonings of
the Wausau Homes building and the Real Estate 10 lots.
Mr. Boardman said that the Vfausau Homes building was zoned R-3
and that the Real Estate 10 lot was the only lot in the area
that had been zoned CR-1. He said that it was zoned CR-1 in
1971.
Ms, Schnabel asked if there tivould be a chance that the Planning
Commission would be hearing any more requests for rezonings
from anything else that would go on Hillwind Road.
Mr. Boardman said that this request was the last property going
up Hillwind, due to the steep inclines further up Fiilltivind,
Chairperson Harris asked if the Staff had any objections to the
request.
Mr, Boardman said that they had no problems with the request.
He said that he felt it was as good of a use for that lot as
any. He didn't feel that it would be detrimental to the area.
He indicated that they proposed a well designed building that
would fit vrell into the area.
PI,ANNING COMMI5SION MEETING - DECEMBER 7, 19,'� Pa�e 3
Chairperson Harris asked if the 1ot met all the requirements
for a CR-1,
Mr. Boardman said that it was a larger lot than Real Estate 10
had; and, yes, it did meet all the requirements.
Mr, Oquist expressed concern of the traffic problem on the
intersection of I�ighway #65 and Old Central Avenue, He tivanted
to knova if this type of operation would negatively effect
that already conjested intersection.
Mr, Boardman explained the proposed traffic pattern, He said
that basically that type of operation didn't generate that
much traffic.
Ms. Schnabel asked if the proposed parking lot could be made
accessahle from Polk Street.
Mr. Boardman said that it could be a possibility, Iie said,
that again, since that type of operation didn't usually
produce that much traffic that it wouldn't be that important
to try to keep the Sundial Realty traffic off of Polk Street.
Ms, Schnabel asked about the sewer and water easements for
the Sundial Realty Company,
Mr, Boardman said that the sewer would be off of Polk Street NL
and that the Urater i-vould be from Hillevind Road,
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr.
the Public Hearino. Upon a voice vote,
motion carried unanimously, The public

MOTION by Mr. I,angenfeld, seconded by Mr. Storla, that the
Planning Commission recommend the approval of the rezoning
request, ZOA #77-0�., by Sundial Realty Company: Rezone that
part of the North 80 feet of Lot 6, Auditor's Subdivision
No, 25, lying easterly of the northeasterly right of v�ay line
of the outer drive of the State Trunk Highway #65, and LNest
of a line 7253,20 feet west of the east line of sa.id Lot 8,
as measured at right angles to� and parallel vrith, the east
line of said Lot 6� from R-3 (General Multiple Family Dvrellings),
to CR-1 (General Offices and Limited Businesses), the same bein�
961 Hillwind Road N,E, urith the stipulation that the rezoning
is tied to the issuance of the Building Permit as per the plan
that had been submitted to the Planning Commission,
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - DEC�y'MBER 7, 1977 Pa�e 4
Chairperson Harris explained that the reason for the stipulation
was +�just in case'� something happened in the interim that
vrould make it impossible for the petitioners to do what they
planned tivith that lot, He said that it would be possible, i�rith
the CR-1 Zoning to put some other type of establishment on
that lot that waid not be desirable for the area,
NIr. Langenfeld indicated that after receiving the needed
information from Mr, Boardman, that even though it is, in a
sense spot rezoning, he didn�t feel it would be a hinderance
to the particular a.rea. He said that the type of rezoning and
construction vrould be compatible with the area.
Mr,. Boardman ��las-not in complete agreement vrith the stipula�ion
put on the xeauest, -
Chairperson Harris said that it only indicated that the second
reading of the Rezoning Ordinance would be held until the
issuance of the Building Permit.
Mr. Langenfeld said that the purpose of the stipulation tivas
to be sure that that type of building went into the area and
not something else that may be less desirable.
Mr, Boarciman read to the Planning Commission a11 the uses
that could be in a CR-1 Zoning. He said that, supposedly,
all the uses of a CR-1 �JOUld be compatible with the area.
Ms. Schnabel said that she did not intend to vote aye for
this motion. She expiained that she felt that the requested
construction would only add to the vast confusion already
in existance along Hillwind Road. She said that the
construction of the Sundial Realty Company ivould only add to
the "clutter" of the area. She wanted it to remain as an
R-3 Zoning and she was not in favor of the ��spot rezoning".
Mr. Boardman felt that the stipulation tivould infringe on the
rights of the petitioner,
Upon a voice vote, Storla, Oquist, Harris and Langenfeld
voting aye; Schnabel voting nay, the motion carried,
Mr. Jim Villella of 5323 Matahorn Circle (representing Sundial
Realty Company) asked permission to address the Planning
Commission.
Mr, Villella said that they were spending a lot of money
on the property. He said that a lot with a CR-1 Zoning was
a valuable piece of property. He said that they had also
spent a lot of money on the plans for the building and they
were going to try to go through 1+rith their proposed plans�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - D�CEMBER 7� 1977 Pa�e 5
Mr. Villella indicated that �'things�� could happen, FIe said
that they were purchasing the property contingent upon the
rezoning to CR-1, He said that should anything happen to
the plans for their Real Estate Office and they tiaould have
to sell that land or build something else; and if they vaere
not able to build anything except a Real Estate office, They
could be out a lot of money.
Chairperson Harris indicated that their request was to build
a certain Real Estate office on that particular lot. He said
that all the Plannir� Commission �vas doing vaas that in good
faith they apply and take out a building permit preceeding
the second reading of the Ordinance that would make it final.
He indicated that if P�r. Vi11e11a intended to build something
else� then he should have said that earlier. Mr. Harris said
that the stipulation merely indicated that they had to construct
the building that they had shovaed the Planning Commission,
Mr. Boardman indicated that the Planning Commission's stipulation
on the property was that they did approve the rezoning �uith
the stipulation that the second reading of that rezoning
be held until the Building Permit tivas issued for that proposed
building. He said that it didn't indicate that after they
constructed the building that they couldn't sell the building;
it merely indicated that the building could only be used for
the purpose indicated for a CR-1 zoning.
Chairperson Harris said that the Planning Commission wanted
that building� on that lot� and only used for the purpose
allotived under a CR-1 Zoning.
Mr, Oquist explained that that particular piece of property
would not be rezoned until Sundial Realty takes out a Building
Permit,
Chairperson Harris said that actually vrhat �vas being
stipulated �vas that Sundial Realty construct that building on
that lot,
Mr. Villella asked if they could take out a Building Permit on
that lot without otivning the land. He said that they are purchasing
that lot contingent upon the rezoning of the lot to CR-1,
Mr. Boardman indicated that usually a Building Permit is only
issued to the property owner.
Mr, Villella asked if the stipulation could be changed to
indicate that it has to conforn to the CR-1 allovrable
establishments with the exception of Drug Stores. That tivay,
he said� the Commission could eliminate their main ti�rorry.
PLANNING COMMISSION P4rLTING - DECL'MBER 7 197'Z Pa�e 6
Chairperson Harris said that the Planning Commission tivanted to
control what went on that lot. He said that they reviewed
the plans and had liked what they saw, They wanted to be sure
that that type of construction was put on that lot. He said
that they wanted that building, on that property.
Mr, Villella said that they would be closing on the lot as soon
as the lot was rezoned, He said that after that, they would
submit their plans to the bank for financing and bidding and
such. He said that there tivas a possibility that it could take
a certain period of time, iie said that from the offset they
have not been absolutely sure that they could build the
building that had been shown to the Planning Commission, He
said that they didn't desire to spend the money having the
plans bid out and all until they could find out if they could
get the 1ot rezoned. He said that certain things had to be
before other things. Ae said that their first thing was to
get the lot rezoned� He said that you always had
to be prepared for the chance that something could go astray.
Mr. Langenfeld said that his motion to approve the rezoning
request had been made based on the fact that he had had the
chance to see the plans and he had the assumption that that
vrould be the type of structure that would be put on that lot.
Chairperson Harris said that the motion was merely a recommendation
to City Council.
Mr. Villella said that he tivould like the Planning Commission
to indicate something in their recommendation that would allow
them a little flexibility in the construction, He felt it
was unfair to tie him to that exact building with no margin
of flexibility.
Ms, Schnabel agreed with Mr, Villella as far as being a bit
restrictive. She felt that something could be done to alloti^r
him a little flexibility,
MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to amend the
original motion to recommend approval of the rezoning request
ZOA #77-0�� by Sundial Realty Company: Rezone that part of
the North 80 feet of Lot 6, Auditor's Subdivision No. 25, lying
easterly of the northeasterly right of way line of the outer
drive of the State Trunk High�vay ;�65, and �'Vest of a line
i253,20 feet tivest of the east line of said Lot 8, as measured
at right angles to� and parallel with� the east line of said
Lot 6, from R-3 (General Multiple Family Dvaellings), to CR-1
(General Offices and Limited Businesses), the same being
961 Hillwind Road N.E, with the stipulation that a similar-like
structure that wpuld remain compatibile vJith the area and
allov�ing some flexibil.ity that v�oul.d ease any hardship that may
be placed upon the petitioner.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - DECEMBER 7, 1977 Pa�e 7
Mr, Oquist agreed that the exact plan cannot be "pinned" down,
He said that some flexibility does have to be allovaed, He
did indicate that he didn't vaant to see any more apartment
buildings going into the area; therefore, he tvas more in
favor of having the real estate office. Mr. Oquist said that
the motion tivas really only tying Mr, Villella down to a
similar-type structure.
Chairperson Harris indicated that Mr. Villella had best find
out if he would be able to build the building, He felt it
uras that point in time £or Mr. Villella,
Mr, Villella said that they had done some of the preliminary
work for the building. He said that it was tied down as much
as possible. He said that until the Building Permit Uras taken
out and the bank put a mortgage on the building, anything
could happen. He said that they were not 100°fo sure that that
exact building vaould be constructed on that lot,
Mr. Vince Villella of 3625 Edward Street I3E said he felt that
the stipulation vaas out of line, He said that there vrere
restrictions enough on the CR-1 Zone.
Mr. Vince Villella said that he understood the motion to say
that they don't actually get the rezoning until the Building
Permit is applied for, He said that if that vJas the case,
then they were back to the original problem. He said that they
could not close on the lot until they get the rezoning; they
cannot get the rezoning until they apply for a building permit,
that cannot be issued to them unless they ov,m the lot.
Chairperson Harris said that the motion uras the feeling of the
Planning Commission. He said that if Sundial Realty had
different feelings about the motion, then they should bring
it to the attention of the City Council since this was only
a recommendation to City Council.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously.

was to run the street thraugh and have it cul-de-sac'd. He
said that the Czty of Fridley had requested that the petitioner
attempt to purchase an adjacent lot, He indicated that the
person otivning that lot did not tiaish to selZ.
Mr, Boardman said that it �aas felt that the proposed development
lvould be better if the cluplexes could be served by a better
road system. He indicated that the owner of the adjacent
property did not ti�ish to se11 to Mr. Fretag. He said that
the adjacent property was zoned commercial and the oiztner wished
tos�11 the lot as commercial, Mr, Boardman pointed out that
Mr, Fretag's lot v�as zoned as R-3,
Chairperson Harris said that the only way to be able to put
another street in tivould be to condemn land for the right of
i+Jay, tivhich ivould, then, make the adjacent 1ot unbuildable as
a Commercial lot,
Ms, Schnabel didn't believe that the City Council i�aould condemn
