PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING — JUNE 21, 1978 Page__2
Mr• Boardman indicated that the Lots 11+ 12, & 13 had been initialiy
intended for drainage purposes• He explained that there had been
a petition submitted by the neighborhood to put a park on those lots•
He said that the Parks & Recreation �ommission had motioned that
those lots be left as they were intended or sold and the money used
to improve the neighborhood access to other parks in the area• He
said that it was sent to the City Council by the Planning Commissim,
with the Planning Commission's concurrence on the motion•
Chairperson
outlot ^A^•
that outlot
grounds•
Harris asked what the petitioners planned for
He mainly wanted to know exactly who would maintain
He didn�t want to see the lot become a^dumping"
Mr• Munn.said that the person living the closest to the outlot
would be the only person that would be able to use the land,
therefore it would be up to that person to also maintain the outlot•
He said that they would explain the situation to the people that
would live in the corner house•
Chairperson Harris asked who was maintaining the Hillcrest Drive
right—of—way•
Mr• Boardman said that the people living adjacent to the right—of-
way were maintaining the property•
Chairperson Harris asked what the petitioners planned to do with
Lo� 1�•
Mr• Munn said that the City would most likely purchase that land
if they so decided to put a park in that location•
Mr• Boardman indicated that the City Council had not committed
anything towards park property in that area•
Mr• Oquist asked if the plat would be contingent on the completion
af Hillcrest Drive�
Mr• Boardman said that it was contingent on the completion
of Hillcrest Drive from Blair Drive to Hickory Drive only•
He said that would be the nine—house development's access onto
East River Road•
Chairperson Harris said that Lot 1� did not meet the platting Ordinance
requirements•
Mr• Munn indicated that Lot 10 was already an existing lot•
Mr• Boardman said that that the Ordinance did allow a 50 foot
lot if it was platted before 1955• He said the only conditions
were that the size of the lot could not be increased because it
was already an existing lot• He said that the lot would be a
5U foot lot whether it would 6e part of this plat or not•
PLANNING COMMISSION MPETING - JUNF 21 L 1978 Pa�e 3
Mr. Peterson said that there would be no access to any park that
would go into that area with the developmen� of the proposed plat.
Mr. Boardman said that a 20 foot vralkway easement would be taken
over by the City betweett Lots 4& 5 of the proposed plat.
Mr. Peterson didn't feel that a 20 foot tinalkway would be adequate.
He felt there would be many problems wiih people trespassing on
the resident's property.
Mr. Peterson indicated that a park at that location did not fit
into the total park plan for the City of Fridley.
Chairperson Harris was concerned about the maintenance of Lot 10.
He wanted to know ho�v the lot was and would be maintained.
Mr. Munn said that the County assessed the property and the County
did all the maintenance.
Mr. Peterson said that there had already been complaints regarding
the maintenance of the lots in that area.
Mr. Boardman indicated that Lots 11� 12 & 13 were presently City
owned and were used as dxainage lots, He said that it was
recommended not to have any City ovined property behind the plat
at all and improve on the already exisiing drainage ditches
provided by Burlington Northern. He felt that a drainage ditch
along the railroad tracks should take care of the existing problems
of water �'standing" on those 1ots. He said it was not recommended
at that point to develop any park land on those lots.
Chairperson Harris explained that the plating and the requested
Park rvere aetually tied together. He said that once the plat is
approved as proposed, then there tivould be even more pressure from
ihe neighborhood to dev�lop a park in that location.
Mr. Peterson said that Parks and Recreation Commission said that they
did not and would not recommend a park for that location.
Chairperson Harris asked what tivould happen to the City owned lots
if the plat being proposed was appraved.
Mr. Boardman said that the lots would be maintained as drainage areas. ,
Chairperson Harris felt that the decision should be made by the City
Council as to exactly what they wanted to do with Hillcrest Drive and
Meyer Avenues. He said that if the possibility of a park on the City
owned lots was completely abandoned, then perhaps all the area could
be included on the plat. Oiherwise, he said that Lots 11, 12 & 13
could be left as is� but termed "open spaces".
PLANNING COMMISSTON MEPTING - JUNE 21; 1�$ Paze 4
Chairperson Aarris asked the petitioners if the City decided to abandon
the idea of park land on Lots 11� 12 & 13� if they would be interested
in including those lots on the plat.
Mr. Munn said that the neighbors had already indicated their interest
in those 1ots. He said that the neighbors wanted that Iand to insure
prevention of any further development in their neighborhood.
Chairperson Harris said that whoever purchased those lots would have
the responsibility of properly maintaining the property.
Chairperson Harris explained to the petitioners that he felt that
the plat euas a good proposal. He said that the Commission members
were having difficulty dealing with the development of Lot 10,
Mr. Peterson said that by including the South half of Lot 10 in the
proposed plat, it would make it very difficult to do anything wiih
Lots 11� 12 & 13 at a later date.
Chairperson Harris explained that io not include Lot 10, the
petitioners wou�d lose two lots from their proposed plat.
Chairperson Harris said that without a decision from City Council
it was hard for the Planning Commission to decide muck. He felt
that something had to be decided regarding that area in the very
near future. _
Mr. Terry Mick2ey of 7075 Hickory Drive, Mr. i,es Blinco of
7067 Hickory Drive� and Bud Berry of 6965 Hickory Drive were present
at the meeting regarding this item.
Mr. Mickley commented that there was presently problems with fires
on the City ov�ned land in that area. He said that the fire trucks
could get to the back land by using the Meyers Avenue right of way.
Mr. Mickley wanted to know if the petitioners would be able to put
a house on some of the proposed lots and still adhere to the setback
requirements.
Mr. Mickley said that Lots 6 thru 9 were located on very lo�v land.
He said that if the petitioners raised the natural. flow of the water
on that 1an@� the water would flow onto the back yards of the
existing houses. He felt that the water had to flow some place
and he said that presently there seemed to be a natural flow of the
water to go to the City owned Zots. He said that many times the
water Nould ��stand�' on those lots. Mr. Mickley wanted assurance
that the petitioners would have to abide by all the City requirements.
PLANNING COMhIISSION M�GTING - JUPIE 21. 1978 Pa�e 5
Mr. tdickley indicated that his house and several of his existing
neighbor's houses had basements constructed on higher ground than
some of the lots in the proposed plats� He wanted to knoiv how the
petitioner tivould �rork around the existing ivater table problem�
and still meet a11 the requiremenis of the Gity,
Mr. Boardman said that before the petitioner could obtain a Building
Permit for the proposed development, a drainage plan had to be
submitted and approved by ihe City and the Rice Creek LVater Shed
District. He explained that the drainage plan would have to solve
any existing problems that property had as well as assure that no
neiv problems tivould be created. He said that all the lots would
hane to have soil borings and water table studies because of the
already existing vaater problems in that area.
Mr. Blinco had pictures of the lots taken tivhen there was water
standing on them•
Mr. Boardman explained to the neighbors that someone ovmed the
property being discussed. He said that if that peson could build
on that land and solve a11 the drainage problems� then they should
be a].losved to develop the land. �
Mr. Blinco said that they didn�t object to the project. Ae said that
their concern was that the proposed development didn't change the
natural �^ra�Ger run-off flovr. Ae said that the neighbors did not v�ant
to have the flow changed so that the run-off vrould end up in their
back yards. He �vanted some assurance that the problem won�t develop.
Mr. Boardman said that the City had Engineers that would make sure
that the development rrould not cause any drainage problems at a11.
He said that they tivould insure that the petitioners vaould solve
any existing prohlems also. He said that the City vaas aware of the
water problems in that area.
Mr. Miclzley asked that much consideration be given regarding the
water prob7.ems in that area before approving any type of plat.
Mr. Mickley also pointed out that there no longer existed any
drainage ditch along the railroad tracks. He said that the railroad
used the ditch to bury their railroad ties.
Chairperson Harris suggested that someone from Staff talk to
Burlington Northern.
PLANNING COMMIS3ION MEETZN6 — JUNE 21, 1978 Page 6
Mr• Blinco wanted to know if the City was ever planning to take
care of the weeds on their lots• ye indicated that the neighbors
still wantad to have a park located on those lots•
�r� Soardman said that the lots should be property maintained by
the City and that he would check into the matter•
MOTION 6y Ms• Schnabel, 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 8:39 P.M.
Mr• Langenfeld commented that the particular situation had
definite2y caused much concern for many people• He said that
he was all for any de�elopment that would better the City of
Fridley; however he could not see any future development on
the property in question• He said that a person did not have to
be an Engineer to see the ^mess^ in that area• He felt that
before he could approve any form of construction, th�
drainage situation would have to be solved•
Mr• Langenfeld wanted to know when the item would be handled by
the City Council•
Mr• Boardman said that it would be before the City Council on
July 17, 1978• '
Mr• Peterson felt that the proposed preliminary Plat PS 78-05
should not be approved at that time because of the drainage problems;
outlot 1� in conjunction with the City owned property would be
landlocked; and because if a park was 2ocated in that area if and
when the City Council decided to go against the recommendation of
the Parks and Recreation Commisssion and the concurrence of the
Planning Commission, the access would be inadequate•
Mr• Langenfeld definitely feit that by confronting the situation
now, would prevent many problems in the future•
Mr• Peterson explained that he felt the plat was good• He said
that the Commission had problems approving the plat because
there were other properties that could be effected by the plat•
Mr• Blair said that Mr• Sobiech was working on the drainage
problems• He seid that they would have all the necessary
information and solutions 6y July 13, 1978- He said that the
City of Fridley would not issue the Building Permits if they
thought that the water run—off would go into the rear yards
of the adjacent neighbors� .
PIANNING COMMISSION MEETING - JUNE 21, 1978 Page 7
Ms- Schnabel pointed out that if the property was not replatted,
houses would probably be constructed on the lots of the existing
plat� She said that the existing lots were buildable lots and
building permits would most likely be granted• She felt that the
replat offered the City and the neighbors more control to assure
that the drainage problems were not made worse and hopefully
would improve the situation•
Ms• Schnabel said that she sensed the fact that the neigh6ors
were not so much against the development of the property as they
were concerned about the present drainage problems and the chance
of additional drainage problems in the future•
Mr� Mickley said that the proposed development seemed to be
a good plan for the area• He said that the concern was being
expressed regarding the drainage and how it would exactly 6e
handled•
Chairperson Harris said that it was obvious that someone would
have to take some action and develop a drainage system in that
area• He felt that the water should be channeled onto the City
owned lots and then into the Burlington Northa^n`s drainage
ditches• He said that Burlington Nort,hern would be contacted
regarding such plans•
Ms• Schnabel suggested that the Commission continue the item
until the developers were able to have ali their information
together�
Mr• Peterson said that he wanted to be sure that the item was
not just sent onto City Council without forcing an issue on a
rather difficult pro6lem•
Chairperson Harris explained to the petitioners that without the
Commission being abie to review the drainage plan and without being
able to arrive at solutions to problems/concerns that had been
expressed at the meeting, it was very difficult for the members of
the Commission to approve the preliminary plat• He said that if
the item wasn't continued, then the petitioners would have to go
to the City Council with a plat without the recommendation of the
planning Commission and possibly with a negative decision•
Mr� Boardman pointed out that if the item was continued, it would
go to Council in August•
Mr• Munn indicated that there would be a possibility that they
would lose their contractors if the item was delayed any longer•
He informed the Commission that they have tried to develop that
piece of property since November�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEFTING - JUNE 21, 1978 Pa�e 8

Ms. Schnabel said that whether or not the City Council a� that time
chose to grant the request for Staff and secretarial help did not
mean that the energy problems didn�t still exist. She felt that the
Planning Commission should continue with the original concept
and in the process try to convince the City Council to support the
Energy Gommittee�

in regards to an Energy Committee and they had taken action accordingly.

have to be brought back to the voters of the City for them to decide.

3. CONTINUED:� RECYCLING PROJECT REPORT
Ms. Connie Metcalf and Ms. Elaine Jensen ti+rere at ihe meeting regarding
this item.
Ms. Metcalf said that the main concern of the Environmental Quality
Commissian was rJhether the land would be available. She said that
she had talked to Dick Sobiech and he stated that the land �vould
probably be available and consistent with the city plans.
Ms. Metcal£ in@icated that the responsibiliiy of the collection center
was an important is:ue. She said that the main reason many of the
collection centers failed �ras because of the lack of organization and
confusiott as to ��rho wou�d be responsible.
Ms. Metcali indicated that the exact mechanics of the center had
not been totally �vorked out. She said that the project committee would
be talking to many other collection centers as well as to Dick�s
Recycling of Brooklyn Park who would be picking up the recycZable
materials from the City of Fridley.
PLANNING COMMISSIOPI MEETING - JUNF 21, ?978 Pa�e 11
Mr. Oquist pointed out that the management of money payment should be a
major concern, He said that if the money was not dispersed equallq�
a b3g problem could develop.
Ms. Metcalf said that it would be operated as much like the Edina
recycling center as possible. She said that they would find out from
them how the money was dispersed fairly.
Mr. Boardman said that if the collection center was to be operated on
a volunteer basis� some place in the £uture it would probably end up
to be a City operation. He felt that at some point in time the
center would have to be maintained by City Staff. He said that whether
it would actually be operated by City personnel or contracted out by
the City� the point had to be kept in mind, �
Mr. Peterson said that he totally supported whatever needed to be
done to get a collection center started.
Ms. Metcalf explained to the Commission exactly ho� they planned to
have the collection center set up. She felt that the City should make
some type of committment to support the collection center.
Mr. Boardman said that the City would possibly commi� land that this
type of center coul.d be placed� hovrever he vras not sure whether the
City was ready to commit staff personnel.
Chairperson Harris explained that if the Project Committee has decided
that they �vould manage the collection center� then the group had to
be reorganized. He said that presently they �ere a project committee
under the Environmental Quality Com�ission. He said that if they
wanted to be the operating committee for the collection center, then
they would have to dissolve the project committee and regroup themselves
with no involvement at a11 vrith the City except the City would possibly
"donate" the land to have the collection center located on. He said
that the new "committee° vrould have to have an operating plan that they
could present to the City of Fridley. He said that the City Council
would also i�rant to kno�r how the Committee planned to maintain the
"donated" land.
Ms. Metcalf pointed out that if the City ever felt that the land was not
being properly maintained� they could order the collection center to
cease their operation.
Mr. Storla said it v�as about time that Fridley did something about the
subjeet of recycling. He suggested that the Collection Center committee
look into the possibility of becoming and operating under the terms of
a�'non-profit organization". He explained the procedure the Teen Center
in the City of Fridl.ey went through and the benefits of doing such an
action.

MEMO FR0�9: Richard N. Sobiech, Public Works Director .
DATE: June 15, 1978
SUBJECT: REQllEST TO VACATE CERTAIN EASEMENTS ON LOT 24 and 25,
BLOCK 2, MEADOWMOOR TERRACE
Attached, please find a request to vacate certain existiag utility and drainage
easements on the referenced property. Actual vacation must follow appropriate
formal processing through the Planning Commission and City Council. The
petitioner, is however, interested in beginning construction on the property
immediately, therefore, is requesting an encroachment into the easements until
the vacation process is completed.
Information received from the utility companies and the City Engineering Divi-
sion indicates no objection to a vacation of the easements. The telephone
company, however, would require relocation of an existing c.ahle and dedicatian
of another easement which the petitioner has agreed to do.
It is requested that the City Council consider approval of the encroachment at
the regular meeting of June 19, 1978.

COMMUNITY DEVELOI'MENT COMMISSI�I
MEETING
JUNE 13, 1978
MEMBERS PRESENT: LeRoy Oquist, Connie Modig, Herman Bergmaa, A1 Gabel,
Kenneth Vos
MEMBBRS ABSENT: None
OTFIERS PRESENT: Jeff Christenson, Planning Department
CALL TO ORDSR:
Chairperson Oquist called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m.
APPROVAL OF MAY 9 1978 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COI�II-ff55ZON MINU7.'ES:
MOTION by Connie Modig, seconded by A1 Gabel, to approve the May 9, 1978,
Community Development Co�ission minutes as written. Bpon a voice vote,
all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. _
CONTINUED: DISCUSSION OF ITEMS TO BE INCLWED ON COMMISSION AGENDAS:
Mr. Oquist stated that the three items referred to in the last meeting's
minutes, the Land Use Plan, the Transportation Plan, and the Lritical Areas
Plan, were not available for Co�nission review. He felt it was important
that the Coomission continue to meet regularly, even though there was not
much on the agenda.
Mr. Christenson atated he would bring the Commission up to date on some
of the items requested. He stated the Critical Areas Plan would be
included in the Land Use Plan, so that was the reason the Critical Areas
Plan was beiug held up. The Land Use Plan was 9CP/o completed, except for
the portion on special zoning districts. Mr. Boardman was revising the
zoning code and would be putting forth a proposal for the revision.
Mr. Christenson stated he had started on the Transportation Plan two weeks
ago, and he hoped that the Coum�ission would have something to review at
the next monCh's meeting. He stated he could not be certain, though, at
this time. He stated that the Transportation Plan was more or less defini�g
and delineating Fridley's major arterials, traffic flows, future traffic
volumes, talking about public transit, expanded M.T.C. service, possible
para[ransit systems. They were waiting for the MNDOT State Transportation
Plan. I�P]DOT had completed two phases of that plan and the third phase was
the implementation phase, and that would be coming out at the end of the month.
;, _. �
C6MMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COl�t[SSZON MEETING JUNE 13 1978 - PAGE 2
Mr. Christenson stated he was working with the Parks & Recreation Depart-
ment on a LAWCON application for the Sears property as a community playfield.
He believed the Sewer Plan had been approved and adopted, and surveys were
being done on the Neighborhood Park Designs.
Mr. Oquist stated he would like to recommend again that whenever the
Commissioners felt there was anything they would like placed on the agenda
to give him or Mr. Christenson a call.
Mr, Bergman stated he felt there was some conflict, or confusion on his
part, regarding the Community Development agenda. Staff seemed to feel that
the Commission should be taking the position of generating its own workload
for the agenda, determining the subject matter for pursuance, etc. But, he
felt the cammunity development subject was so broad that they could be running
in all directions and not know whether they were on track with anything.
He stated, though, that he really did not have an answer,to this problem.
Ms, Modig stated that when Mr. Boardman was talking about the Commissioners
generaCing their own agenda, he was also talking about research time, etc.;
and sometimes the Commissioners just did not have that time available.
07.'FiER BUSINESS:
Mr. Oquist asked if there was anything else the Commissioners would like to
discuss.
Ms. Modig stated there was something she would like to know, She stated that
at City Council meetings; there were many requests for variances and things
in the industrial areas for cammercial-type businesses. She suggested that
maybe the Co�issioners should have a map of the industrial lands, because
she would like to know where this undeveloped industrial land was in the
City of Fridley. Fridley was running out of land, and people kept requesting
variances for various things in the industrial areas. She would like to
know if there were other places available for some o£ these things.
Mr. Oquist stated that he thought there was a lot of undeveloped land, and
there was talk of possibly rezoning some of the industrial land to be used
for other things. Fridley was higher than average in the ratio between
industrial and residential than probably most communities.
Mr. Christenson stated a map was done of the undeveloped property two months
ago for the Land Use Plan. He stated he would get copies of this map to
the Commission members.
Mr. Bergman stated that the Planning Commission was talking about estahlish-
ing a City of Fridley energy policy, and maybe the Commission might want to
discuss this.
.. �-_�
COMM[TNITY DEVELOPMENT C(k�fISSION MEETING, JUNE 13, 1978 - PAGE 3
Mr. Oquist staCed that the Planning Commission had been Calking about an
energy policy for a cougle of 'sessians, and there would be a subcoaanittee
established, reporting to Planning Commission, to establish an energy
policy foz Fridley. AC this time, they were talking about establishing
the goals and objectives tor the cou�ittee and deciding the kinds of
peogle they wanted to be on the co�ittee. He thought that once the
policy was established, it would be handed down to the conmissions for
review.
Mr. Oquist stated that, regarding the Bikeway/Walkway System, since the
Bikeway/Walkway Project Committee had been dissolved, the Co�ission had
agreed to continue monitoring any problems that might come up regarding
the system. He asked Mr. Christenson that if any thiags were coming
through the city office from the citizens regarding the Bikeway/Walkway
System, to pass these down to Che Commission.
Mr. Oquist stated that, also, Mr. Christenson had attended a public hearing
on May 11, 1978, on the "Energy Policy and Conservation Report, 1978,"
put on by the Minnesota Energy Agency. Mr. Christenson had written
Mr. Oquist a letter dated May 15, 1978, regarding the pnblic hearing.
MOTION by Connie Modig, seconded by Herman Bergman, to receive the letCer
dated May 15, 1978, fros Mr. Jeff Christenson to Mr. LeRoy Oquist
regarding the public hearing on "Energy Policy and Conservation Report,

Mr. Bergman suggested that this letter also be given to the Planning
Commission for possible help in establishing goals and objectives for
the Energy Co�ittee. Mr. Oquist agreed that this was a good idea.
Mr. Christenson stated that [he.public hearing was held at the GovernmenE
Center in the Twin Cities area. Total participation was approximately
100 people, most of whom were from private companies which dealt with
fuel oil, and some private citizens. The primary concern voiced __
was citizen participation. This had not been covered to any great extent
in the plan, and thaC was the primaxy consideration of those who voiced
oginions. The slide presentation was interesting, hut was something he
was sure the Co�issioners had all seen and heard before--dwindling energy
resources and a need to go to altemative sources. He stated that the
letter covered the rest of the highlights of the public hearing.
Ms. Modig asked if the State had an energy plan at this time.
Mr. Christenson stated that the State had an energy plan, but he believed
it was up for review again at the next seasion. At the public hearing,
another point discussed by the people was how legislation did not
geC down to reality; it was not put forth; it was not implemented. The
people showed dissatisfaction with the legislators that were at the hearing.

going to try to have someone come from the Energy Co�ission at the state
level who wes familiar with helping communities establish energy co�ittees,

PUBLIC PURPQSE SERVED BY REQUTR�'IENT:
Section 205.103�1��A�2� requiring an 80 foot setback £or the main
structure to any public right af way in C-1S or C-2S Zoning District.
Public purpose served by this require8ent is to provide for
adequate parl�ing and cpen landscaped area as well as to avoid
congestion and provide adequate site clearances in commercial areas.
STATED HARDSHTP:
4Ye propose to add 5,000 square feet to the exisiing Country C2ub
Market. The adda.tion �vi21 be �0� x 125�. Most of the addition will
be in compliance r�ith existing setback requirements. 1Ve request
a variance for the portiott shaded in red on the attached diagram.
C, ADMINISTR9TIVE 3TAFF REPOR'I':
The Country Glub Markei is 70.5 feet from the public right-of-vraq
on its Southrtesi corner. With the code requirement o£ an $0� setback�
it is already a non-conforming use, If a 40� x 125� addition is put
on, ii will be 30 feet from the building to ihe right-of-c^ray. It
is strong3y suggested that the t�drivetivaytT shativn on the original
dra�ving be deleted to avoid visual pollution and traffic
congestion at both CJest side entrances. The exisiing pylon sign
paste �vould have to be removed. Please note that the petitioner�s
dralving is in error by about 25 feet, The building will not be
58 feet� but 30 feet� from the servioe road;
APPFALS COP2MT5SION t�IPi'�ING - Jt12dr 22, 1978 Pa�e 5
Mr. Holden said that the existing Country Club Market� at the
closest point to the service drirei cias 70.5 feet. He said that tivith the
proposed addition the closest noint to �he service drive would be
approximately 30 feet. He.said ±hat there s•�as a r�ater line that looped
axound the building. He said that there vras also a fire hydrant
connection that vrould have to be moved.
Mr. 5aliterman had a survey of the entire shopping center. It ti�as
an original survey and there �ras some discrepancies involving the point
of ineasurement from the store to the service drive. It v�as assumed
that the discrepancy vras the fact that the service drive had been
improved and eaidened since the survey had been made.
Mr. Holden asked that a verifying survey be submitted to City Hall.
Mr. Saliterman agreed to have an updated survey made.
Chairperson Schnabel asked if the area betti^�een the building and t�e
s�rvice road vrould be blacktoppe3 or green landscaped area.
Mr. 5aliterman said that he would agree to do whatever the City
wanted him to do�
Mr. Saliterman commented thai he would prefer to keep the drivearay
as indicated since iz �vas a designated fire Zane. �
Ms. Gabel asked about the egisting pylon s�gn.
Mr. Saliterman said that the issue had i�een continued by City
Council. Ae said that it v�as planned ai that time to take the pylon
sign poles dot�n and the nei�r restaurant would add their sign io the
already existing ��Shorev,rood Plaza" sign.
Mr. John Bergstrom of 1086-63rd Avenue NE wanted io knotis� the
distance that wou].d be beti�een the loading area of the proposed
store and the fence that existed between the shopping center and his
rear yard�
Mr. Holden said that there would be approximately 50 feet.
Mr. Bergstrom said that it concerned him because presently trucks
were knocking the fence over. He said that his fence was do�rn at that time
because a truck had knocked it over the previous night. He said that
there rea].ly wouldn't be room for a 40 foot truck to turn around. He
suggested that they make the rear loading area a one-way roadway.
Mr. Saliterman said that he ti��ould try to do anything that tivould make
it easy for the trucks io do their unloading and to alleviate any
problems for the adjacent neighbors.
.,..,,..,,. :.�,,�narccrnu rrtrrmTr7r, � .TiiNR 27. 1978 _
Mr. Bergstrom pointed out that the fence did not belong.to him.
FIe said that it vras in need of updating and he felt that the Shopping
Center should take care of it. IIe felt that possibly the posts could be
put in the ground deeper so that it ��JOUld not fall oner so easily.
He also i�rould like to see the fence made higher,
Chairperson Schnabel asked iY it would help Mr. Bergstrom�s
situation if the rear area of the.shopping center ��ere made one way.
Mr. Bergstrom said that he felt it would help greatly.
Chairperson Schnabel asked Mr. Ber�strom �vho he notified when he
had problems tiarith the fence.
Mr. Bergstrom said that he al«ays tried to notify the owner of the
shopping center� bui he indicated that it �*ras virtually impossible
to actually contact him.
Mr. Saliterman indicated that they tivere almos-t alvrays in the office
in the morning. He said that they had experienced problems irith their
present ansrrering service as far as messa�e relaying. He apologized
for the trouble the Bergstrom�s had 3_n contactin� him.
Chairperson 5chnabel asked tivhy Country Club e�anted the additional
5,000 square feet.
Mr. Saliterman said that Country Club told him that they felt
the addiiional 5�00� square feet of seliing space e�ras needed. He said
that the store �vas cramped. Ae had a set of dracaings r�ith him shovring
the proposed CountrJ Club Mark.et.
The Appeals Commission members ��ere impressed rJith the plans.
Mr. Bergstrom agreed that Country Club did need more space. He
just didn�t want the store to get any closer to his property.
Chairperson Schnabel a.sked if the existing Shorevrood Plaza sign
would remain after the proposed shopping center improvements.
Mr. Saliterman said that it tivould remain but that he had agreed
to reduce the sign area to comply with the existing Sign Ordinance
tvithin five years.
Mr. Holden pointed out that Staff did not �vant to allol� any parking
on the l9est side of the Country Club Market. He said that rir. Saliterman
should make sure that a landscaping plan �vas submitted to City Hall. He
said that the 1Yest side of the building should be green� landscaped area.
APPEP.LS COMMISSZOrr t�iPls'TZNG - JUiIF 2_7, 19']u Pat*,,e 7
Ms. Gabel said that some arran�ements should be made sc that �he
Bergstrom�s fence eaas repaired so that they ivouldn�t have to look at the
rear of the shopping center. She felt tnat they shouldn't have to
wait until the entire shopping center uras updated at a later date.
Mr. Saliterman said that it r�as the first he had heard that the
fence ti�Jas down. He apologized for the problem.
Mrs. Bergstrom said that the trucks really did cause the problem.
She didn�t feel that they intentionally knocked the fence dovan but it
did happen and did cause problems for them�
Chairperson Schnabel indicated that it had been established that
the rear qard setbacks ti�ould be rrithin Codes. She said that the entire
West side vrall did not meet the required 80 foot setback.

unanimously. The Public Hearing tivas closed at 8:56 P,M,
Mr. Barna asked if there crould be any safety problems or site
encroachments ivith the ne�v addition to the Country Club Market.
Mr. Aolden said that by using lo�-r 1�idscaping on the Pdest side
of the building� there vrould be no site encroachments or traffic safety
problems. He said there �vould be approxinately 35 feet from the
vision point of a car to the sexvice road.

APPROVAL OF MAY 22 1978, PARKS & RECREATION COI�ff5SI0N MINUTES:
MOTION by Jan Seeger, seconded by Leonard Moore, to approve the
May.22, 1978, Parks & Recreation Commission minutes as wriCten. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA:
Ms. Seeger added the following item as Item B under "New Business":
"Backyard Wilderuess Pzogram"

with the above addition.
carried unanimously.
I. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
A. Lion's Club Bus
seconded by Jan Seeger, to approve the agenda
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion
Mr. Boudreau stated that some time ago, it was mentioned that there was
the possibility of again receiving the hus Chat three yeaxs ago was given
by the Lion's Club to Anoka County, because the city had refused it at
that time, The bus was capable of tie-downs for handicapped plus seating
for regular p9ssengers. Anoka County had kept the bus at the Springlake
Park Bus Company and rented it out for $6Jhour.
Mr. Boudreau stated that he had a lot of uses for such a vehicle. He
stated the Lion's Club had agreed to underwrite the insurance on the bus
at $1,200 pex year and had written the County some time ago requesting
PARKS & RECREATION CONQIISSION MEETING JUNE 19 1978 - PAGE 2
that the bus be releasecl Mr. Boudreau hoped to have the bus by
the next week. He was looking not only at the use they would receive from
the bus, but also the feasibility of using such a vehicle. The driver
would cost approximately $3.50-4.00/hour. Operating costs would run
samewhere around 40 cents a mile. They contemplated around 6-8,000 miles
a year on the bus. Right now their bill for bus rental ran in excess of
$4,000 a year. With the insurance paid for and monies received (fees), he thought
that they ought to be able to operate the bus at a minimal cost and have
it on hand whenever it was needed. He felt it would be a good addition
to the senior citizen programs (and for a Congregate Dining program if
aae was started in Fridley). He stated they had come up with 35-40
possible uses for the bus that would be money saving uses. One was a bus
route set upduring the winter months to the general skating areas. With
the senior citizen complex and government subsidized housing going in,
maybe some transportation would be needed to coincide with those facilities.
Mr. Boudreau stated that if City Coancil approved it that evening, the
City Manager planned to write a letter to the County the following day
requesting the bus for use by the city.
B. Tour of Parks - June 22nd (6:00 - 9:30 p.m.)
Mr. Boudreau stated that, once again with budget meetings coming up with
City Council, he had set up a tour for Thursday evening, June 22. Hope-
fully, the Commission members could attend. This year, they were planning
on looking at some of the things that were going on that the Commission
members had been hearing about, such as the clearing at Locke Park,
nursery development, community garden plots, a stop at the A-frame, and
to see the north and ncxthwest parks, such as Benjamin-Briardale,and
some that surrounded the outside area. He would try to point out some
of the areas they considered to be real problem areas and what could be
done for those areas. Riversedge Way and Riverview Heights were two
examples. These areas were always talked about, but no solutions ever
came forth. Maybe a live visitation to really see them first-hand would
help in deciding what to do with these areas.
C, Budget Meeting with City Council - June 26,_1978
Mr. Boudreau stated he was going before City Council on June 26th with
the budget request. Ae was hoping to point out to City Council some
of the things Parks & Recreation had accomplished during the year 1977,
what they had built the program from on the base that they inherited
in July 1976 until now, and where they saw the program and the whole
departmental goals for the future. He hoped to show slides of past
activities, share financial data with them, and the biggest.improve-
ment he would try to share was the complete rearrangement cf all the
program budget headings.
PARKS � RECREATTON CONINIISSION MEETIP:G SUNE 19 1978 - PAGE 3
D. Reorganization of Department and Programs;
Mr. Boudreau stated that they were doing a complete rearrangement of
all the program budget headings. He stated that, as opposed to having
football, baseball, and softball as separate programs, they hoped to go
a little broader by having them in one program called, "Athletics and
Sports". It gave a bigger look at a total program as opposed to an
activity. They were trying to combine all of their programs into eight
various headings that would give them the information they needed to use
the Economic Equivalency Index (discussed at the February 27, 1978,
Coumiission meeting) to try to break down where the money was spent. Along
with the recreation programs, they hoped to change the maintenance program
headings from Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to the headings of "Buildings
and Structures","Grounds and Turf", and "Landscape and Trees", etc. There
were eight' programs involved in the maintenance area. Mr. Boudreau stated
they were looking at a refinement of what they already had, and he thought
it would be a step forward. By getting acaay from the designated maintenance
areas and going city-wide with a total system (they had been on this system
for a year and one-half), he thought the employees enjoyed the variety of
worlc they were doing and had a pride in what they were doing.
Mr. Boudreau stated there was the third division of the Parks & Recreation
Department, and that was the Naturalist Divi.sion. That would be broken
down into programs also. He stated they hoped to present this to the Ci.ty
Council.
E. Program Report - Jack Kirk:
Mr. Boudreau stated that Mr. Kirk could not attend the meeting that
evening. Mr. Boudreau stated the su�er program was well under way.
There had been one problem and that was that they had not planned a program
at Gardena School, because they had been told that the school olas to be
sold to H. B. Fuller Company for offices. There had been many ca11s that
day, so they had decided to start a playground program at the school.
Mr. Boudreau stated that softball was continuing. They were about halfway
through the season with only minimal complaints. They only had one night
of make-up games to do. No one seemed to miss the second ball diamond
they had removed from Locke Park. The biggest problem with softball was
the parking at Commons. There was just not enough parking space, and he
really sympathized with the people who lived around that park.
Mr. Boudreau stated that during the 49'ers Week, they would be offering
a teen dance on Friday night at Moore Lake parking lot from 7:00-10:00 p.m.
They would haye five police officers and about 30 chaperones at the dance.
II. NEW BUSINESS•
A. Request for Fence Cost - Share - Raren A. Kirk:
Mr. Boudreau stated that Ms. Kirk had telephoned and [hen written a letler
dated June 12, 1978, stating that one side of her property bordered the
PARKS & RECREATION CdPASISSION MEETING JUNE 19 1978 - PAGE 4
Briardale Park now being constructed. She was having trouble with the
young adults destroying her property. She was hoping that the City of
Fridley would share in the expense of a four-foot cyclone fence on her
property line bordering the park.
Mr. Peterson stated that since it was commission policy that the city
share the cost of a four-foot cyclone fence with anyone whose property
bordered the park, Mr. Boudreau could go ahead with this action and no
motion was needed.
Mr. Boudreau stated he would inform Ms. Kirk that the eity would be happy
to share the cost of the four-foot cyclone fence.
B. Backyard Wildemess Program:
Ms. Seeger stated that the Natimal Wildlife Federation had a program
called, "Invite Wildlife to your Back Yard." The program went in stages.
People were to send in a description of their yard and what was in their
yard, and the National Wildlife Federation would send them back a plan
on how people could encourage wildlife into their yard in stages one through
three, which told them what they should have and what animals existed in
their area. The whole program was to encourage wildlife within the city.
Whoever complied with the plan and got a11 the information could then
become certified.
Ms. Seeger stated that the only thing missing was that not everyone could
understand and identify the existing plants they already had. There would
have to be some help in some of these areas, it did not necessarily mean
that a person had to have a large yard to do this, it could be done with
only a planter in a window box. A great deal of people did not understand
how to make their yards more interesting to birds than other people's yards.
She stated that if they did have this kind of interest within the city,
it would be interesting to promote it as a park-kind of thing. They had
a naturalist on duty who could identify existing plants for individuals
so they could send in entire mappings of their yards to the Idational
Wildlife Federation. It would get people better acquainted with what was
around them.
Ms. Mech suggested that it be run as a class in the Parks & Recreation
program.
Mr. Peterson suggested that maybe Mr. Boudreau should put a notice in
the Parks & Recreation column in the Sun to pr�ote this and see if there
was enough interest to run the program.
Mr. Boudreau sta[ed he thought they should just go ahead and offer the
' program, He was thinking of an in-house person who could be called to
go out to a person's house.
•
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETTNG, JUNE 19, 1978 - PAGE S
Ms, Mech stated she thought it should he run as a program for three or more
nights. People could bring in rough sketched plans of their yards, maybe
bringing pictures or samples. She suggested that before they went into the
program, they shouLd first have a class meeting and have Mr. Siah St. Clair
present a slide show.
Mr. Boudreau stated he would give this information to Mr. Kirk and advise
him to prepare a program for the JanuaryJFebruary/March spring program.
III, OLD BUSINESS:
,A. Set. Sprungman - Locke Park Liquor Ordinance;
Mz. BoudYeau stated that Sgt. Sprungman had planned on being at the meeting,
but something must have prevented him from doing so. Mr. Boudreau stated
he could not speak for Sgt. Sprungman, but he could read to the Commission
Ordinance No. 618, Section 2:
508.21 Alcoholic Beverage
It shall be unlawful for any person to have in his possession or
to consume any intoxicating liquor or nonintoxicating liquor in or
upon any City, County or other public park, parkway or bathing beach with-

Subd. 1 Notwithstanding laws to the contrary, possession and
consumption of malt liquor is permitted in Locke Park.
Subd. 2 The City Council may grant permission to consume non-
ineoxicating malt liquor in City, County or other public

1. REPORT ON ENVIRONMENTAL WALKING TOUR OF RUN-OFF SITES:
Mr. Langenfeld stated that he would like Ms. Sporre to present to the
Commission members who had not been able to go on the tour the exact streets
involved in the walking tour.
Ms. Sporre stated that at the last EnvironmenCal Commission meeting, there
was the concern expressed about storm water run-off which was brought up
under "Non-Point Source Pollution." She had stated that there caere examples
in Fridley that were as negligent of adequate planning as many of the examples
shown in the slides. She had then asked for Che opportunity to take the
members on a field trip of tliese areas.
FIfIDI;EY ENVIRONI�IQTAL CONII�lI3SI0N t�ETIhG, .7Ut1L 20, 1975 _- PAGE 2
Mc. Sporze stated that they began their walking tour at the House o£ Lord's,
which was roughly'at the intersection of Univexsi�y Ave. and 83rd,and they
reviewed the siL'e for the amount of flood water, storm water, and retention
areas used in the development of that site. They were verycliscouraged by the
lack of green areas and ponding areas in that particular development.
Ms. Sporre stated they then went by car into the area now known as the
Fridley Preserve, which was on the southern boundary of I3orth Park on Main
St. & 83rd. It was a long warehouse which ran parallel to the county
drainage ditch that came from Spring Lake Park and entered Springbrook Creek
at the intersection of the railroad tracks and Springbrook Creek. They again
found that this project was less than a year old. T.here had been very little,
if any that they could observe, on-the-site water management practices being
used. They were unable to find any ponding areas. The damage was already
apparent as the water left tlxe site and entered into the creek. A drainage
ditch had been constructed midway between the railroad tracks and Main St.
They followed that around the Preserve and out Chrough that construction
area. Again, they found a good deal of ditching going on in the whole area
between University Ave. and midway Uetween Main St. and University Ave.--
ditching water directly into the Springbrook area.
Ms. Sporre stated that, 1.eacing that watershed and ooing into the SteneybrooY.
watershed, they found that the same type of- development was being doze--
the same kir.d of piecemeal total lot coverage in the area. Although a iot of the
project� were very small in size, the toeal effect was causing a great deal
of property damage.
Ms. Sporre stated they then continued their trip down 77th and across the !
tracks to the Meadow Run Apartments located on Stoneybrook Creek and East
River Road. This was an example where residential property, although not
industrial, still had a tremendous impact an the creek area, because culverts
were enlarged on the Stoney6rook passageway underneath the railroad tractcs
to double in size, and a greaY. deal of property damage was created down-
stream. The Meadow Run Apartments, a relatively recent development, also
added to the problem, because when they reviewed that site, the water came
directly off the parking lot areas and into the creek.
Mr. Leek stated that, basically, there was a large coverage of property
and whatever was on that property was channeled to a couple of major points
and that had a couple of impacts:
1. It increased tl�e volume of water going through one passageway;
thereby increasing the speed.
2. Once the speed was increased, the amount of sediment and materials
carried by tfie water was also increased.
Mr. Leek staCed they also observed at the site that there was a drainage
spout leading from the southwest quadrant of the property to a catch basin
and emptyin� into the creek. There was quite a bit of erosion. The damage
to the catch basin and the run-off spouL•, which was quite extensive, was
another indication of the force at which the water left the surface.
FP.IDLSY ENVIRONMENTA,L CO�ASISSION MF.ETING JU23� 20 1978 - PAGE 3
Ms. Sporre stated the next place they went on tUe tour was to tlie properl-y
owned by Mary aad Charles Martin on Stoneybrook Way and East River Road.
The situation there was one of extreme property damage. The city had
shored the banks with concrete riprap and railroad-Cype construction. The
Memorial Day rains undermined that to the extent that iC caved into the
creek bed and now large quanCities of dirt were eroding. The city was now
using a new [ype of riprap (gabions). It apgeared questionable to the
Commission members how long Chat kind of construction could last.
Mr. Leek stated that there were major problems that might exist. As
Ms. Maxtin has pointed out, thia construction had only seen one season.
The entire unit was hung together. When torrential types o� water flow
went through the channel, there was increased pressure because of the rock
expanding to accommodste the water £low against the metal. Once the surface
was eroded away on the metal, that could lead to disintegration of the metal.
Ms. Sporre stated that the best suvnnary they could give was absolute disgust
and rage that such severe property damage had occurred.
Ms. Sporre stated they then went down to where Stoneybrook Creek entered
the river. That address was Alden Way and Stoneybrook Way at the property
of David and Lois White. The i+Thites were at the end of the domino and had
lost 15 feet of property that had fallen into the water. The culverts had
tora away the banks and had caused thousands of dollars of property danage.
Mr. Langenfeld stated that,originally, one culvert had existed and the
direction of the water flow or run-off was towards their pruperty. AApparentLy,
the city had agrezd to divert the flow Uy ar,gling in a ncrthwesterly directicn
to the river and then placed another culvert above the existino culvert. By
the same token, the peop"Le on this property invested approximately $4,000
to protect their property with the same rockbed gamiens. The general obser-
vation of the ce�ission members present also showed that off Alden Way,
there was a terrific erosion situation resulting in a very steep incline.
It was a potential hazard, not only tor citizens, buC also that the road
could stare eroding.
Ms. Sporre stated that the road on Alden Way dr.opped off so severely doc,m
to Glen Creek that if a child tried to make the climb, the child would fa11
Mr. Leek stated that the incline was about a 45-50° angle. That was steep
when management guidelines and critical area guidelines referred to slopes
of more than 18� as steep slopes.
Mr. Langenfeld staCed that he was shocked at what he had seen on the walking
tourr What they had was a peaceful little creek, whett� r Stoneybrook or
Springbrook, turning into a monster.
Ms. Sporre stated that afCer she had seen what was happening along Glen
Creek and Stoneybrook Creek, she realized something had to be done differently
to prevent that kind of damage along S�ringbrook Creek. That was part of
the reason she had suggested the tour. A great number of decisions were
going to be made in the very near future abouC the area in the Springbrook
;;
ERIDLEY ENGIRONMLNTAT. COMt+IISSION MEETING JUNE 20 1978 - PAGE 4
Watershed, and she believed that had they fed into L'he.ir review process
through the ordinances and Environmental Protection and Natural Resource
Planning Overlays, they could have avoided these proUlems oa the other
creeks. But, they certainly should avoid these problems, knowing it would
cost money. It seemed to her that the best solution to the problem of
storm water damages was not to create L'he problem in the first place.
There were ways of doing that. Each 1ittle decision in the watershed
might not of iLSelf destroy the property to the extent that the idhite's
were having; but if the entire zoning and restrict'ions were used as they
were developed today, it iaas going to ultimately happen on other water-
sheds. She would like to Calk about some of the things that could be
done to prevent these problems in the future.
Ms. Sporre stated that one of the reasons she felt it was so timely and
why the Commission cnust place things back in priority in L'heir actions was
that their planning authority would be jeopardized if they did not. The
"Mandatory Plam�ing Act" of the State provided the option to local govern-
ment to place a moratorium on development in an area where the desire for
more comprehensive planning with such issues as environmental planning wou13
be jeopardized by approval of the development.
Ms. Sporre stated tihat the land betwe�n Nox•th Park and University r�ve. was
now unde.r qr��stion. There was a proposal uader public t�earing right t�ow
£or a det•elopment of a zoad between the Y.M.C.A. and T.he l�orth Par}c Nature
Center. St'her. they tallced abcut a road, they were talkino abvut ex.panding
commitr.ment to the use of the land. Knnwing the city's pseser.t or3inan�es
for development, that Ieft tl�e nature center thoroughly un.protecte3 as k�eZ1
as the �vatershed and property owners.
Ms. Sporre stated that, therefore, she believed the la.nd adjacent to the
City's waterways and existing natural areas should be placed in moratorium
for a period of one year. In the interim, the City should review and
revise the planning in the area, and develop model ordinances, cahich the Co�ission
had reviewed earlier, "Envirenmental Site Planning" and "Envixonmental
Overlay Districts", to modify them to £it the City's needs, and whatever
other Environmental Protection ordinances were necessary Co avoid property
damage so that the development might be applied in a comprehensive way.
Ms. Sporre stated that retaining present zoning and adding environmental
protection overlays would avoid serious property damage in the future.
Developers should be required to demonstrate that the proposed development
would not increase the total volume run-off rate, time to peak run-off rate,
or shorten the overall run-off, or decrease the natural rate of absorption
of storm water.
Ms. Sporre stated she would like to suggest that the city's attorney,
Mr. Virgil Herrick, work ia conjunetion with the stafF attorneys £rom
MetropoliCan Council. She had worked witti Mr. John Hoeft, telephone �291-6450
Their attorneys were available ta assist the city's attorney in the legal
development of environmental protection ordinances. She had requested and
FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL CONR�'iISSION MBL�TING JUhT� 2D, 1978 - PAGL' S
should have received from the office of Metrcpolitan Councii, SCaff
Discussion Paper �3, the "Interim Development Control Ordinance!'. This
was the legal document that the Metropolitan Council's Legal department
had developed showing how 1oca1 governments could restrict developmenC
for the period of time that was necessary to bring their comprehensive
planning in Line with the overall environmental protection issues the
Coaanission had talked about. In suggesting a general moratorium ordinance,
the moratorium could not be arbitrarily applied. She thought eheir
intention was to review what was being done in the watershed so that,
using the new Environmental Protection ordinances, the land could be
developed under reasonable use of the land without being in violation of
the "taking issue". (Ms. Sporre explained that the right of property
ownership provided that the owner should have the ri$ht to use his land
and govexnmant could not restrict the use of his land without comp2nsating
him for the right of development. Anything that took away from that was
called the "taking issue°.) The courts had ruled that the new environ-
mental law was that it did not violate the "taking issue" even.though the
property owner's rights were diminished if it was to balance out the
overall effect of a decision.
Ma. SpAxre suggested that the Commission take this action and then use the
time with the legal department to develop the kind of overlays that would
be useful to protect thzse areas. She stated the item �}�at concerned her
very much right now was the road between the Y.M.C.A. and the Ivature Genter.
The City Council discussed it May 8 and June 19. She would like to suggest
that the Commission be prepared to have a position oa this for the next
meeting. She had been advised that the next hearing would be July 10.
One of the options this commission had and had not used was to speak directly
to City Council. She thought they should assume the role of consultant and
go directly to City Couacil. There was very little, if any discussion, ir.
the public record about the long range impact of the decision. She felt
this Commission was responsible to make the case. She suggested they
convey T.his infoxmation to the City Council and ask City Council to take
the appropriate acCion.
Ms. Sporre stated the total overall burden should be on the developer.
Often, the city was placed in the position of piecemeal temporary remedying
on into eternity of same of the problems Chat had been stated above by
going aLong quietlq with the developers. This had to stop:
Ms. Metcalf stated it was a good idea, but she wondered if they could hope
to prevent problems in the future. On the other hand, there weren't very
many areas left in the city to develop.
Mr. Leek stated that was true, but the first step was to acknowledge that the
areas that were not developed should be protected by kinds of regulations
that they knew or believed could protect Che land to whatever extent
possible, and then attempt to rectify the situations that existed caith
developed property. He stated that as a part of the Mandatory Land Planning
FRIALEY ENVIRONMEN'PAL COMMISSION MEETIPdG JUI�TE 20 1978 - PAGE 6
process, it was required that adjacenf. communities and governmental units
submit all of their plans to a11 oi their adjacent neighbors for revl.ew.
Not unti.l there was agreement among that community of communities and
betweer, the perpetrating community in Metropolitan Council was Chat plan
acceptable.
Mr. Leek stated there were two issues currently surrounding the Nature
Center at North Park. One was the road between the Y.MaC.A. aztd the Nature
Center. ti7hen facilities were put in, development was more likely to occur.
The second thing was that there were plans to develop a sub-regional shopping
center in Coon Rapids immediately north oE the Nature Center. The traffic
flow would open on the road immediately north of the Nature Center. The
major concern was that when you put in an element such as the service road
and planned a�hopping center, the pressure to develop the existing land
became very great. What Ms. Sporre was suggesting was that a moratorium
be placed on land immediately surrounding North Park that would have some
kind of environmental impact until final regulations for development for
that property could be drawn up'that met the requirements of the Mandatory
Planning legislation; and this definitely made sense.
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Bruce Peterson, that the Environmental
Commission support the recommendations outlined by Ms. Spozre as follows:
"The 'Mandatory Pla.ning k,ct' ef the State provides the option
to 1oca1 government to place a mo:atorium on development in an
area where the desire f.or mere comprehansive pla�ining with such
issues as environmental planning would Ue jeopardized by approval
of the development.
"The land adjacent to the City's waterways and existing natural
areas, therefore, shall be placed in moratorium for a period of
one year. In the interim, the City sha11 review and revise the
planning in the area and develop model ordinances, 'Environmental
Site Planning' and 'Environmental Overlay Districts' and whatever
other Environmental Protection ordinances are necessary to avoid
property damage and may be applied in a comprehensive way.
"Retaining present zoning and adding environmental protection
overlays will avoid serious property damage in the future.
Developers shall be required to demonstrate that the proposed,
development will not increase the total volume, run-off rate,
time to peak run-off rate or shorten the overall run-off, or
decrease the natural rate of absorption of storm water."
Ms. Metcalf stated that the water problems in the City of Fridley were so
large that she felt it would be advantageous for this Conunission to tiave
a sub-committee to investigate the water problems. It was unfortunate
that she had not been abl� to go on the �aalking tour.
(Ms. Metcalf lefC the meeting at 9:00 p.m.)
FRIDLSY ENVIRONNEnTTAL COP'II�IISSIGN ML'ETING JUNL' 20 1978 - PAGE 7
Ms. Sporre stated that since a few of the Conn*!ission members had not been
able to go on the tour, it might be good to�revieca these places again and
check out a few other places.
Ms. Sporre stated she would like to suggest that all Commission members
call Metropolitan Council for a copy of the document entitled, "Environmental
Protection Model Ordinances for Use by Local Governments, March 1977".
Ms. Sporre stated that if the Coam�ission would like to work with Che
Metropolitan Council stafi in understanding the application of these
ordinances, Metropolitan Coimcil would prov3.de people from their planning
department to work with the Commission.
Mr. Langenfeld stated it would be a good idea for the Commission to do that.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Bruce Peterson, to recommend that the opinion
in the previous motion be conveyed by this Co�ission to the City Council at"tY:e
public hearing on Ju1y 10, and that staff be requested to supply supporting
documents to be included with the City CoUncil agenda at that meeting. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Langenfeld, Mr. Peterson, Ms. Sporre, and Mr. Leek stated they would
attend that public hearing.
Mr. Langenfeld stated he was L-horoughl}° moved and impressed with the
waYking tuur that evening, and highly recor.enended that the Cenw:ission at
least consider environmental walking tours on a regular basis so that they
could really find out cahat was going on in the environment in the city
itself. There were people who could not know what was going on by sitting
in meetings in enclosed rooms.
2. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT FROM PLANNING CONAfLSSION:
A. Collection Center Proposal (continued)
Before leaving the meeting, Ms. Metcalf had stated that it was
written in the Planning Commission minutes that ASs. Schnabel had
stated that there was not a member of the Collection Center
Committee present at the Planning Commission meeting. Ms. Metcalf
stated that a member of the Collection Center C�mittee had been
present at two Planning Commission meetings. At the June 7th
Planning Co�ission meeting, the Collection Center Committee member
had noted that the Collection Center Proposal item was listed on
the Planning Commission agenda as "tabled". This member had waited
awhile and then had left assuming the item had been tabled.
Ms. Metcalf stated she wanted it reported to the Planning Co�nission
that a member had been at the Planning Commissiorc meeting.
FRSDLEY L'NViROA'MEI�ITAL COi1MISSION ME�TII�TG JUl`7P. 20 1.978 - PAGE 8
Mr. Langenfeld had stated that L'here had Ueen an error in the
Planning Co�ission agenda. At the previous Planning Commission
meeting, a mol-ion had been made to continue the Collection Center
Proposal, so the item should have bee.r. listed as "continued", not
"tabled".
Ms. Metcalf had stated she would be present to represent the
Collection Center Committee aL' the next Planning Commission meeting.
Ms. Sporre stated that in reviewing the May 17th Planning Commission
minutes, Mr. Boardman had indicated that the Collection Center would
probably be a city project. She stated sne Uelieved it was the
Committee's intention to have the center run by volunteers. The
Edina Recycling CenLer's success hinged on the fact that the
citizens ran the cen.ter and developed the habit of using the center.
There was no better way than citizen management. .On page 9, Sth
pa:agraph, "Mr. Soardman indicated that then the C.ity of Fridley
would become the 'operating' agency £or the Center." In the 7th
paragraph, "Mr. Boardman said that the Recycling Project Committee
wanted the operation to be a volunteer situ�tion. Mr. Boardman felt
that it would have to be set up either toL'ally city (which he didn't
th�nk was feasible) or. on a contract situation." Ms. Sporre stated
she tliought it caas important that the fommi_ssior. support tha Recycli.ng
Yroject Co�iittee again at Plar.ning Coa:^`ssion.
Mr. Langenfeld stated that the F.nviionr.�ental Commi.ssion �aouid iike
a clarification on what Mr. Boardman mr-_ant by saying "total city".
3. NOISE CONTROL ORDINANCE (Cont.) - Staff Report by Ray Leek:
Mr. Langenfeld stated that Mr. Boardman had personally apologized for the
delay in the cuntinuance oE handling the Noise Control Ordinance.
Mr. Leek stated that the Noise Cor.trol Oxdinance had been discussed at
Planning Commission to a certain e�tent and, out of that meeting, came
the request that he compile the ordinance as written and the changes as
recoumiended into one documeat for the next Planning Co�ission meeting.
He stated that when it was on the Planning Co¢�ission's agenda, he would
be in attendance at that meeting. Aopefully, the ordinance caould not
get lost again.
MOTION by Bruce Peterson, seconded by Lee Ann Sporre, to continue
discussion on the Noise Control Ordinance at the next meeting. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
FRIDL�Y ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 20, 1978 - PAGE 9
4. RNVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION:
A, CENCOAD (Cont.)
Mr. Langenfeld stated he crished the Commission actually had time to
use the CE[dCQAD Water Management Computer Similation Game to simulate
the problems they had seen that evening on the walking tour.
Mr. Sabistina stated he had talked to Mr. Myhra regarding the Water
Management Computer Similation Game. After looking over the material,
Mr. Myhra had stated that it was his personal opinion that he did not
feel the project would be approved by the Community Education
executive committee for two reasons:
1. The cost in the information was listed as $100, but then
there were additional costs for hooking up, communications,
etc., so there was no way of knowing the total cost.
Mr. Myhra was very hesitant about this, and he feit the
executive committee would not approve any money for this
because of the questionable amount of money.
2. Mr. Myhra felt the attendance would be very low. Also,
due to the fact that Community Education coould Ue moving
to Parkview School and the costs were not completely
settled on Y.he budget, he felt they cou13 not work on
this pxoject right now. Mr. Myhra had stated that the
project itself sounded good, but suggested that the
C�mission somehow run it somewhere in the city as a
project through community organizations.
Mr. Sabistina stated that thexe was going to be a meeting of a11 the
local community organizations in September and all the presidents of
the organizations were requested to be at that meeting. He thought
that maybe they could bring up projects like this and maybe they
could work through the community organizations.
Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Sabistina if he would like to be the Commission's
"workshop liaison" to the community organizations whenever the Comnission
found workshops that sounded interesting.
Mr, Sahistina stated that was agreeable with him as long as he was
knowledgeable about the workshop and had theright information.
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Bruce Peterson, to appoint
David Sabistina to be the Environmental Educational Workshop Liaison
Person. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION by Bruce Peterson, seconded by David Sabistina, to table

Mr. Langenield declared a 10-minute recess at 9:56 p.m.
B. "Energv Conservation and �arth Sheltered StrucCures" Seminar -
Lee Ann Sporre
Ms. Sporre sL-ated this seminar was held on May 16, 1978. She stated
that the primary thrust of the seminar was Williamson Hall, the
newest records/book store at the Unive�:sity of Minnesota. A good
percentage of the discussion was aUout that particular building, the
way it was done, why it was done, and the monitoring devices that
were being used to find out the effectiveness of that building.
NLs. Sporre stated that the first speaker was John CaUle, Division of
Buildings and Community Systems, Department of Energy i_n Washington,D.C.
The most alarming fact that Mr. Cab1e bruught up was that buildings
took up one-third of the United States' energy production. Of that
one-third used for buildings, two-thi.rds were used for residential
consumption, The first point he made on �ahy we were still building
above ground was the fact that it was easier to buy lightUulbs, but
difficult to do psychological studies to affect people�s thi.nking aa
going under ground. There were 14,000 different implementing agencies
' related to building code agencies, so it was very difficult for the
Pederal Department of F.nergy to change the thinking of the people.
' D1s. �porre sCated tt�e nF�:* speaker was Dr. Erns* Ec.kert, RegenCs
Pr.otessor Emeritus, Department of Ptechanical En�ineering at the
U. or M., who discussecL a lot about the heat tr.ans£er co:�cepts of
the unci2rground cons�ructina. The poi.n+`. ne broug,ht ouc was that tha
underground building at the University was heating ttie groviid; and
after three years, the ground around the building reached a steady
state, ehereby reducing the heat dramatically on the building. The
factors thar_ caould affect the temperature field around the building
�aere affected by season, type of soil, and moisture. Important
factor--the moisture increased the conductivity.
Ms. Sporre stated that the next speaker �aas John Millhone, State
Energy Agency Direr.tor, who said, "We are looking at what local
communities can do." Some points Ms. Sporre thought would be
relative to Fridley were that the vibration was reduced by building
underground (going underground had a dampening e£fect), the tornado
hazard caould be reduced, and noise pollution was reduced by going
underground. It also provided a civil defense aspect in case of
severe weather or military need. One important point that Fridley
had in an urban setting was that it preserved the use of space itself
Mr. Millhone suggested that, in terms of transportation, freeways
might be 15 years overdue in planning for underground use. He also
mentioned the quality of life pride Minnesotans had.
FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING JUN}3 20 1978 - PAGE 11
Ms. Sporre stated there would be a state ranger sCation, funded by
the State of Minnesota, buflt underground and the L.C.N.R.
(Legislative Commission on Natural Resources) was funding an under-
�round space center at the University of Minnesota. The Energy
Agency was goittg to recommend funding to the L.C.N.R. for the 1979
Earth Sheltered Construction Act. That would include funding for
data collection.
Ms. Sporre stated that Mr. Millhone had stated that "the use of
underground structures was one of the most exciting and promising
areas in energy."
Ms. Sporre stated that the next speaker was Charles Fairhurst,
University of Minnesota Engineering Department Professor and Head
of the Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering. Mr. Fairhurst
stated that "no breakthroughs were required to do underground buildings
here in Minnesota," This clarified that we did know how to build
underground in Minnesota, that the planning for an underground building
had to be ccmprehensive, but that it was a"very natural and sensible
option". He also stated that there was going.to be a regional office
of the Solar Institute (in Denver) built underground in Minnesota.
Mr. Fairhurst stressed that there were better uses fot the land.
Ms. Sporre stated that a study =.�as done at Daytons in St. Pav1 to
fir.d out if the employees �.vould be c•rillang to wor.k ur:der�round, and
the aeswer eas "absolutely no". When Mr. Fairhurst poiated out that
they now worked in a windowless enviroiunent, L-hat it was a coTpletely
controlled environcient, and that the building could just as well be
underground, the people could not believe it. So, people.'s thi.nking
had to be changed.
Ms. Sporre stated that the rext speaker was Raymond Sterling, Asst.
Professor and Director of the Underground Space Center at the Ur.iversity �
of Minnesota. Mr, Sterling stated that there was a tremendous amoimt
of space under the metropolitan area that could be used with little
effort. At the University of Minnesota, there was 50 feet of soil '
before getting to rock, and then the limestone bedrock at 75 feet
below the ground provided the option of tremendous open space. The '
cost of construction at that level caas very cheap. Mr. Sterling
stated that the use of precast concrete was really very efficient, '
and the steel beams were used to carry the load across the windows.
Ms. Sporre stated that the new Fort Snelling Historical Building
would be built underground, because it would be in keeping with '
the historical significance.
Ms. Sporre stated that the next speaker was Thomas Bligh, Asst. ,
Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University
of Minnesota. Nr. Bligh used some slides that showed how the density '
could be increased by as much as 20'/ and provide far more green space. ,
He showed the conventional suburban tract of land an3 then showed the '

beautiful golf course appearance.
FRl'DLEY rNVIRONMPNTAL COMMISSTON I��TING JUNF. 20 197F3 - PAGE 12
Mr. Bligh pointed out thac the freezing and thawit� destroyed a
building while ehe underground buildings avoided a lot of t-hese
problems. He was one of the consult-ants in developing Williamson
Hall, and the goal there was to preserve the view of Powe11 Ha11.
Mr. Bligh explained that the earth sod roof would add 19% to the
energy conservation, so it was an extremely important thing. The
important thing Mr. Bligh stressed was that we had to look at the
life cycle cosL of the building, how many years was the building
going to be used, add to that the initial cost, maintenance and
energy costs, and then decide which Uuilding you wanted to build--
above ground or under ground. Europe had decreased their energy
consumption since 1973. He was concerned that the United States
had not made a significant effort in reducing energy consumption.
In 1977, the United States was using 36% of the world's fuel.
Pis. Sporre stated that the next speaker was George Meixel, Research
Associate, Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering at the
U. of M. Mr. Meixel's field was thermography, and he felt that
through the field of thermography, they could decide what kind of
building� th�y were building. The inira-red camera took.pictures
of the building and showed if the building was losing heat. It was
used for lots of other reasons, aad r.ow T.i�ey aare using it to test
heat emiesion. They were alsc able to find if there wer.e any ].eake.
Also, they were working on callibrating the temperature relario��ship
of the J.oss. M'r. Meixel stated that snoc,* was a tremendously good
blznl;et, so the snow in Minnesota wa, really an advaz�taoe when going
undergryund. Ns. Sporre stated they had a paaeL discus:ioa about
the availability of en.ergy from Canada. Apparently, Canada was
fe.eling less and less like they wanted to have their ene.rgy at the
United Scates' disposal: The United States was going to have to
quit thinking about the availability of energy from Canada. They
were not talking very strongly about the use of natural gas in the
future. They did discuss the dilemma of the power companies
because of the 1ow consumption when going underground.
Ms. Sporre stated that the last speaker was Dave Bennett, the
Architecture Professor in the School of Architecture and Landscape
Architecture. P1r. Bennett was the man who designed Williamson
Hall. After all the scientific data was brought to the floor,
Mr. Bennett told why the building was environmentally suitable.
Ms. Sporre ran a tape recording for the Commissioners of Mr. Bennett's
portion of the seminar. ,
Mr. Bennett gave the follocaing enviionmental benefits of William-
son Hall: Circulation (the first benefit--by putting the building
underground, the on-site circulation serviced the needs for that
area); Histeric Preservation (provided in the site at the urban
level in this density area the opportunity for enjoying and
utilizing the more important historic buildings on the site);
Open Space; and Lighting.
, FRIDLEY fiNVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MGGTING JUNE 20, 1978 - PAGE 13
Mr. BennetC stated that iY cost no more to build an underground
building than it did to build a conventional building of a similar
size.
l�r. Langenfeld thanked Ms. Sporre for a11 the work she had done
in presenting this report to the Commission.
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by David Sabistina, that the
Environmental �ommission support the use of earth sheltered
structures and any new proposed public facilities for the City
of Pridley.
Ms. Sporre stated that she wanted the Commission to know that she
had asked Mr. Bennett to review the North Park Nature Center area.
Mr. Schaaf, Mayor Nee, Ms. Jan Seeger, and Ms. Sporre had reviewed
the Nature Center with Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Bennett felt that the
nature center building would be most appropriate for an underground
facility. His reason was that it would preserve the natural
uniqueness of the site. That was one proposal she had heard of
in Fridley, and another one that m�ght apply f.or this particular
motion was the proposal for a recreation center. She cou1� see a
lot of ad�antages from the texpayer's standpoin4, not cniy in
energy conservation, but an ua3erground buildin� prvvided van3aiis�
control and �ore control over what happened to that building. She
felt that the Commission shou"Ld have a field trip throubh
Williamson Hall to better understand underground buildings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, THE`MOTION CARRIED.
C. Highway Chemical Usage (Cont.)
Mr. Langenfeld stated he, had given the large folder of info:mation
from the M.P.C.A, on the storage of highway chemicals to Mr. Leek.
, Mr. Langenfeld etzted that he had complained about the situstioa
to Planning Coumiission, and a motion was made at Planning Commission
to have staff look at the area. Mr. Langenfeld stated that he had
asked that the motion incorporate the fact that either himself or
a member of the Environmental Commission go along on the tour of
that area by 694. He stated that, from his most recent visual
inspection of the area (from a distance), he could not see any signs
of salt. So, he did not know the status of that area at this time.
Mr. Leek stated he had placed the information in a folder and had
outlined the documents that would be most useful to the Commission.
He apologized for net getting copies to the Coumiission members, but
stated he would malce copies of those documents and eend them out.
He had �1so received a memo from Mr. Boardman authorizing liim to
contact the State to examine the site with a member of the Commission.
Mr. Leek stated he would xry to set that up this week.
FRIDLEY GNVIRONNfENTAL COhII�'fiSSION ME�TING JiTNE 20, 1978 - PAGE 14
Mr. Peterson stated he had contacted the E.P.A. district office
and talked to Mr. Bates, who was not aware of any standards or
laws that regulated chemical run-off. At this stage, they were
more concerned with contamiiiation such as oil spills, so Mr. Bates
was not awar.e of any er.isting standards. Mr. Bates had stated
he would do some checking and would check with the regional office
in Chicago.
MOTION by Bruce Peterson, seconded by Lee Ann Sporre, to continue
discussion on Highway Chemical Usage at the next meeting. Upon a
voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
5. MnDOT PLAN
Mr. Leek stated that he had not yet received the MnDot Plan. He
stated he would call again in hopes of getting it soon.
Ms. Sporre stated that she had contacted the Transportation Office,
and their final preliminary draft would come out in mid-August
and would go to hearings later than the Coamission had been told
initially, which was October or November, so that gave the
Commi_ssion adequate time to review the plan. If a member of the
Commission had received a preliminary draft copy, they would have
to cali again in order to get the final draft.
Ms. Sporre stated that the item of sal.t storage was handled on
page 15 of the preliminary draft. That caould be one cf the areas
Fridley should testify oz at the hearing. Item 6 on page 15
stated that, "Envirqnmental concerns and awareness wi11 go long
after most Minnesota highways are planned and built. The problems
of possible salt damage, noise pollution, run-off pollution, etc.,
all need to be addressed for the entire system..."
Ms. Sporre stated they had to stress that point, because she was
aware of the fact that the Department of Transportation had asked
to have noise standards waived at hearings as recently as two
months ago. They needed to stress this issue, because Fridley
had a lot to be aftected by a11 of those issues.
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Bruce Peterson, to continue
discussion on the MnDot Plan at the next meeting. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
6. COMMISSION WORKSCHEDULE; (Cont.)
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by David Sabistina, to continue discussion
on the Commission Workschedule at the next meeting. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

7. OTHER BUSINESS:
A. Airport Liaison:
Ms. Sporre stated she would like to know what action had been taken
regarding an airport liaison.
Mr. Langenfeld st-ated that he had reminded the Planning Commission
that such a motion was made and that he and Ms. Sporre would be
willing to be that liaison. He stated that Planning Commission had
made the motion to City Council that a liaison Ue appointed, but
he did not lmow what action the City Council had taken.
Mr. Leek stated he had been checking the City Council agendas and
had not yet seen it listed on the agendas.
Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Leek to get specific information as to the
status of the airport liaison and who was to be the responsible person.
ADJOURI�'fENT :
MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Bruce Peterson, to adjourn the meetina

�9� AND � BLOCK 2� HILLCREST ADDITION� GENERALLY LOCATED
IN THE 7100 BI,OCK ON THE EAST SIDE OF EAST RIVER ROAD.
Mr. Dick Sobiech, Public Works Director for the City of Fridley,
was present at the meeting regarding this item. Mr, Sobiech
addressed many of the coxicerns that the City and the neighbors
had regarding the preliminary plat.
The first item that Mr. Sobiech addressed was the Burlington
Northern drainage ditch. He said that the ditch definitely was
not properly maintained. He said that he had some conversations
with Burlington Northern and had been told bq them that all that
had to be done was to submit a drainage plan to Burlington Northern
and then fill out a permit with Burlin�ton Piorthern. Mr. Sobiech
said that at that point the City, the Petitianer, and Burlington
Northern could work together to properly grade the area and maintain
propes drainage for those lots.
I �LANNTNG COMMISSION MEETING - JIILY 12. 1978 Pa�e 2 ��
Mr. Sobiech indicated that proper drainage of those lots was
definitely coating�ettt on Burling�ton Northern properly maintaining
the drainage ditch,
Mr. Sobieeh pointed out that there would have to be a lot of
re-�rading o£ the entire area to insure that any run-off does not
increase after the development.
Mr. Sobiech next showed the Commission members the drainage plan
that had been submitted by the petitioners. He said that the plan
etill needed the approval of the Rice Creek Water Shed District.
He said that he had briefly looked over the plan and felt it was
an adeqnate drainage plan.
Mr. John Kehn of 7129 East River Road NE; Mr. Terry Mickley of
7075 Hickory Drive; Mr, Gary Thomas of 7061 Hickory Drive; and
Mr. Les Blinco of 7067 Hickory Drine were at the meeting regarding
this item.
Mr. Sobiech explained egactly what the drainage plan was going to
do to the neighbors and the Commission members.
One of the neighbors had pictures he showed to Mr. Sobiech and
the Commission members showin$ the water that was standing on
the lots in question.
Mr. Sobiech said that the Engineering Firm that had developed
the drainage plan for the petitioners had to insure that the
run off in the area would not increase after the development.
He said that the Firm had taken into consideration the total
eight acres that existed in that area to be sure that all
situations would be addressed. He said that the Engineering
Firm has indicated that after the development taking into
consideration that there would be drine-way surfaces' etc.
that could increase the rate of run-off� there would haee to
be a holdin� pond of some type located in the area. He said
that the proposed plan would direct the rttn-off to the rear
lots and create a drainage swail that would have to be re-
graded. He said it was designed that the rear area would not
be a holding-pond. He said it would be designed so that all the
water would be run-off into the creek through the use of the
Burlington Northern Railroad draina�e ditch.
Mr. Sobiech showed the Commission members and the neighbors the
results of the Soil tests that had been made on the lots in
question.
The neighbors showed mnch concern regarding the planned level
of the basements of the houses that would be constructed on the
lots in question.
:
PLANPING COMMISSIOI� MEETING - JIILY 12. 1978 Pa�e 3
At this point in time, Chairperson Harris clarified the terminology
beittg used for lots 11' 12 & 73. He said that it had been
determined that the lots were not City owned property. He said
that the lots were being held in trust bq the County for the State
of �4innesota.
Mr. Sobiech said that at the present time� the only thing that
the City could do with that land (lots 11,12 & 13) was to use
it for drainage purposes, He said that all the City had on that
property was drainage easements.
Chairperson Harris explained to the neighbors that the Drainage
Plara being submitted was ��suppose�� to eorrect any existing
drainage problems in the area as well as insure that no new problems
developed because of the development of the lots in question.
The neighbors were concerned that if a drainage swale was
graded in the rear area of their lots, the water would actually
flow into to thai;r yards because some of the yards would have
lower spots than the planned •swale They didn't want to see it
happen. They said that when they built their homes they had
been told that they couldntt alter their rear yards at all because
of the drainage plans for that area.
Mr. Peterson wanted to know whose responsibility it would be to
maintain the drainage s�ale once it was developed.
Mr. 3obiech said it would be up to the property owners to assume
the responsibilitp of proper maintenance of the area once it was
all properly developed and graded.
Chairperson Harris pointed out that the amount of water going
into the rear qards of the neighbors would actually be less
with the proposed drainage plan thaii it presently was.
Mr. Sobiech said that it was very possible that the holding area
could be developed similar to 5�rlvan Park. He said that with the
use of some berming and some plantings� etc. the area could be
made into a very nice open area.
The neighbors agreed that the area could be developed nery nicely
but they �aere still concerned aboui some type of recourse should
the plan not work and in a few years they experience additional
water problems.
Mr. Sobiech said that the neighbors were stating their concerns
at the Public Hearing. He said that theq have stated that they
did not want the development if it would create any problems for
them in regards to water and drainage,
7C
PLANNING COMM�SSION MEETING - JULY 12, 1978 Pa�e 4
Chairperson Harris asked if there wonld be enough space after
the holding area was developed to have some type of park
facility,
Mr. Sobiech said that it has been stated that it was not an
appropriate location for a park.
Mr. Sobiech said that there would have to be some access for
maintenance equipment. He estimated that approximately 20 feet
would be needed. Ms. Sobiech said that it should be a stipulation
of the plat that the 20 foot access be put in at the appropriate
location before the development of the plat. He said that the
people buying the homes on either side of the access would be
totally aware of the fact that the access did exist and v�ould be
used as aecess to the rear lois.
The neighbors wanted to know if they would have to fill in some
area of their rear yards due to the development of the drainage
system to take care of the proposed pgat,
I�r. Sobiech said that some fill wonld have to be done to their
rear yards. He pointed out that the neighbors already had water
drainage problems and by using some fill in their rear yards,
they could correct most of the already existing problems.
Mr. Sobiech explained the eaact grading plans for the development.
Mr. Peterson said that the Rice Creek Water Shed District�s
authority was that the water that comes o�f the property had
to be in the same condition as it came onto the property.
' �r. Sobiee:h said that they
require that run-off rate cannot increase after development as
it existed before the development. He said that the City could
monitor the plans making sure the homes are high enough and that
the drainage would flow ont of the area properly,
Mr. Peterson said that all the Rice Creek Water Shed's authority
had to do with was the quality and amount of water as it goes
into the Creek. He said it really made no difference to the Rice
Greek Water Shed whether the water would come off the proposed
development or from the neighbors to the south yards. He said
that where the water would come from was a problem that the City
had to address. He wanted to know if the neighborTS to the South
of the development had been taken care of.,
Mr. Sobiech felt that all the problems were being addressed by
the drainage plan.
7D
PI,ANIVING CQMMISSION MEETING - JDI,Y 12. 1978 Pa�e 5
Ghairperson Harris wanted to know who would be liable for the
work that would be done on that plat.
Mr. Sobiech said that it was difficult to say exactly. He said
that the City of Fridley was to insure that everything regarding
design and construction would be done properlg. He said that the
site gradings would be the responsibility of the peti�ioner and
the petitioner would be liable. He said it would be the responsibility
of the Building Inspector and Engineering Inspector to be sure
that eYerything would follow the site plans and drainage plans.
Mr, Peterson asked if Mr. Sobiech felt comfortab],e with the
proposed system rather than a pipe system„
Mr. Sobiech said that with the pipe system the water would leave
the area immediately� which was always a positive aspect. However�
he said that the proposed sytem should work and was definitely
more environmentally aware. He said that wi.th the proper gradin�
and retention basins that would be done� the proposed drainage
plan wonld work jnst as effective as a storm sewer system.
MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Mr. Oquist� to close the
Public Hearing, IIpon a voice vote� all voting aye� the motion
carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was closed at 9:13 P.M.

carried unanimously. The Public Hearin� was opened at 9;23 P.M,
Mr. Boardman explaitted that the property was presently zoned
Heavy Industrial and required the lot size of 1�- acres of land.
He said that Mr. Paschke wanted to rezone the area to Light
Industrial mainly because the lot size of 3/1� acre was required
in M-1 areas. He said that by doing so� the petitioner would
be able to split the land into three buildable M-1 lots and
could construCt three buildings rather than one.
Mr. Boardman said that the zoniag would be similar to what was
being done along Ranchers Road.
Ms. Schnabel asked exactly what was presently zoned M-1.
Chairperson Harris eaid that all construction lying East of
Ranchers Road from 77th Avenue to 79th Avenue. He said
that M-2 r`rae still existent west of Rattchers Road.
Mr. Boardman said that the uses of the land were very similar
for M-2 and M-1. He said that the main difference was the
required square footage of the lots.
Afr. Storla wanted to kno� what was going o� at the present time
on the lots in question.
Mr. Paschke said that they were basically preparing the land.
Mr. Peterson asked if all three buildings would have the y0�
land covesage restriction.
Chairperson Harris said that there would be three small buildings
instead of one large building.
Mr. Boardman said that there would actually be more green area
With the rezonin$. He said that each building would have to
abide by the 40� land coaerage requirement.

8. CONTINUED: DISCUSSION OF MENIORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FROM
Mr. Larry Dobson and Mr. Bill Scott were present at
the meeting regarding this item.
Mr. Storla said that the concept �ras started because the State
Human Rights Department had too much work to handle. He said
it �ould take up to 18 months to have a case heard by them, He
said that several communities in the area have established the
Memorandum of Agreement. He said that by handling complaints
at the City level� the total process of filing a complaint could
be speeded up. He said that the Memorandum of Agreement mostly
spelled out how the Fridley Human Resources Gommission or
whoever they designated (which could possibly be the Tenant/
Landlord Committee) would handle the intake of the information.
Mr. Storla said that the second part� the 30-day Waiver Agreement,
of the Memorandum of Agreement explained that after the Complaint
was at the City level for 30 days without being resolved, it would
automatically go to the State level for their action.
Mr. Storla said that one of the concerns expressed by the City
was their lack of people to help with the item. He said that
if something came up that they couldn�t handle� he felt that it
would be handed over to someone from the State rather than someone
from the City Staff. Mr. Storla �idn't foresee any burden on the
City.

PLANNING CONiMISSION MEETING - JIILY 12. 1978 Pa�e 12
Mr. Dobson said that it was the intent of the Memorandum of
Agreament to make it simpler for the people in the Community
to originate a discrimination complaint. He said that the
present problems seemed to be the complexity of getting all the
people together to make sure they collect all the eaidence.
Mr. Dobson said that at the present time people have to go to
the Department of Human Resources to file a complaint rather than
the Department sending a representative out into the commuiaity,
Mr. Dobson told the Commission the procedure that presently had
to be followed in order to file a complaint with the State
Department of Human Resources.
Chairperson Harris said that the mechanics of the Tenant/Landlord
Committee was a project committee of the Human Resources Commission.
He said that if the Tenant/Landlord Committee planned to become
an operating Committee� the mechanics would have to be changed.
He wasn't sure if the revised Ordinances had any provisi�ons for
an operating Coramittee.
Mr. Boardman said that he would check into Mr. Harris� statement.
Mr. Bill Scott had some concerns about the document. He
said that the Committee could probably perform the proposed function.
However� the resident of the community could have deep misgivings
if the complaints were received without someone from the Human
Resources Commission being present. He said that consistent
with the Charter of the Human Resources Commission to develop
harmonious relationships and going back to the very b�ginning
of the Tenant/Landlord Committee was based on the premise that
there wo�zld be participation of the landlord as well as the
tenants. He felt that it should be included in the document that
as �ell as members from the Hnman Resources Commission be present
to receive the complaint, that members from both sides (tenants
as well as landlords) be present when the complaints are received.
He felt that complaints should not be received without everyone
present that should be present.
Mr. Boardman said that if the project committee was to become
involved, all authorization would have to be at the Human
Resources Commission level. He said that the initiation of
the action would have to take place at the Human Resources
Commission level and investigation could be handled by the
Project Committee.
7L
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - JULY 12, 1978 Pa�e 13
Chairperson Harris said that the mechanics of receiving a complaint
would have to include the Human Resources Commission sitting in
joint session with the Project Committee. I3e said that a
representatiBe of the landlord, a representati�e of the tenant, and
the staff at the Human Resources Commission level would all have
to be present in order to receive a complaint. Mr. Harris
was not sure that such a mechanism was possible with the present
City structure.
Mr. Dobson felt that a person could be designated by the fIuman
Resources Commission to receive the complaini. He said that
forms would be available so that anyone who felt they were
discriminated against could make a complaint. He said that it
would be indicated on that form who the person could contact
that would be responsible for gathering all the information
and helping the person to properly fill out the form. He said
that the Committee would be structured so that in hearing a
complaint� representatiees from both sides would be present.
He said that it wouldn't be necessary for any decisions to be
made. The main purpose of the hearing would be to take all
the information and then forward the information on to either
the Human Resources Commission in the City of Fridley or else
onto the State Human Resources Department, He sa:i.d that �vho
the information was to be fortivarded to �vould be up to the person
making the complaint.
Mr. Peterson felt that someone from the Human Resources
Commission would have to receive any complaints. However, he
said he wanted the City Attorney to check the Memorandum of
Agreement to help with the legal aspects of the item,
Ms. Schnabel asked who received the complaints in the other
communities.
Mr. Storla explained the set up that Coon Rapids had. He
said that the Assistant City Manager received the complaints.
Mr. Dobson indicated that the Memorandum of Agreement was
bas3cally an experimental concept. He said that the reason that
��tenants" are mostly addressed by the form was because it was
generally a mechanism for tenants to file a complaint against the
landlord. He said it would be difficult for the landlord to file
a discrimination complaint against a tenant.
Mr. Dobson said that no actual decisions vaould ever be made.
He said it was mainly a mechanism used to speed up the gathering
of the information. He said that the Community would not decide
whether or not someone had been discriminated against.

Chai.rperson Harris asked if there had been anq communications
regarding the maintenance turn-over of Locke Park.
Mr. Boardman said that the City was moving slowly regarding
the item because they were looking at the possibility of exchanging
properties (Sears Property). He said that the City was filling
out applications that are due July 28� tg78, for Locken grants
and the Sears property was one. He said that they were working
yrith Anoka County to get the south 1/3 of the Sears property
classified as part o£ the regional trail system and that could
be acquired through regional funds. He said that they then would
try to acquire the North 1/3 of the 5ears Property with Locken
monies and then possibly ex�hange properties with Anoka County
for the remainder of the Sears Property.
Mr. Peterson felt that would be great! He said that North
Commons Park was grossly over-utilized, He said that
Fridley had totally outgrown the North Commons Park facilities.
He said that the programs being offered by the Parks and
Recreation Department are not reaching all the people interested
because of the lack of space.

dedication of the park to the County and that the only concern
was the drinking of alcohol on the premises.
Chai.rperson Harris said that if the funds should not be available
for the acquisition of the Seares Property� the possibility of
getiing the County involved in at least the maintenance of Locke
Park should be explored.
Mr. Boardman said that there have been many discussions with the
County regarding Locke Park.
