TO WHOM IT MA1' CONCERN:
6n October 10, 1978 the Appeals Commission considered a variance
to reduce the minimum requirement of 750Q square feet to 6420 square
fieet on a lot at 695 Fairmont Street N.E. This also requires a Special
Use Permit because this property is located in flood plain zoning.
(see other notice)
When the staff reviewed this reguest, they found that the minimum square
footage of gross floor area of this new construction was 720 square
fieet instead of the required 7b8 square feet, and that the setback from
the Mississippi River Corridor was 85 feet instead of the 100 feet required
in the standards and guidelines as laid out by the interim Development
Regulations for the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area.
The Appeals Conmission did grant these variances at their meeting of
October 10th, 1978, but these requests also have to go on to the Planning
Cor�nission and City Council.
If you want to make any comments on these variances, or the Special Use
Permit, you may do so at the Planning Commission meeting of October 25th
at 7:30 P.M.

A.' PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY RE UIREMENT:
205:053 (4C} A REAR YARD QEPTH OF NOT lESS THAN 25 PERCENT OF THE LOT
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space
ta 6e used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood.
8: STATED HARDSHIP:
The property stated in this appeal sits in the Northeast corner of the
lOt, it has been that way since the house was built in the year of T957,
I beTieve, and has never been altered with. The reason for the case is
that we need.the room that we plan to add on as if is tfiat we now haue
a new addition to the family and would 3ike it to be a t-shaped rambler.
We do not use the space behind the back of the house as a back yard because
there is actually no room as is to be considered a back yard. We are
buildin9 a patio along side the L ih the front of.the house in front of
the kitchen.
C. 'A�IINISTRATIYE STAFF REVIEW:
The survey submitted shows an existing house located 12.9' from the
, East property line. The petitioner proposed to add on to the Norih

of an existing non-c4nforming use. The addition will be approximately

�. HuroJNISTRATIVE STAFF iiEVIEIL• � � �
As shosvn on the plans, the prop�sed building location necessitates an onening
of about 48 feet from the service road interseetion. The zoning is C-2S
which requires an $O foot set back of the i+iairr structure from the pu6lic
right of way on 63t•d Avenue as well as on University Avenue Service Drive.
The b�iildina depth requires an additiona} variance fir•om. 15� fett�.to 5 fest

Dear Mr. Harris:
Planning Commission Chairperson
N.E.
55432
�� � i5
I understand the Planning Couunission is seeking coum�unity representatives
to serve on an Energy Project Coam�ittee. I am interested in serving on
that committee. I'm not sure exactly how I might be able to help or even
if my evening classes at the University of Minnesota on some nights would
allow participation. I would be willing to do everything I could to
arrange classes around the project committee meetings.
I have long been an advocaCe of a formal energy policy in Fridley. I
feel that concentrated efforts at Yhe local level could re5ult in significant
progress towards meeting our government's goals of reduced enetgy consumption.
Fridley can indeed be a leader in this effort.
My name is Dean Saba. I am 33 years old and have lived in Fridley for the
past nine years. S presently live at 6325 Van Buren Street. I have been
married for nine years and have two children. In 1967 I graduated from
Noxthwestern Electronics Institute with a diploma in electronics technology.
Since then I have been periodically attending evening classes at the
University of Minnesota pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Studies Degree in
Business.
I am presently a Production Engineer at Sperry Univac in Roseville where
I have worked since 1965.
Zf there is any additional information you would like, please contact me.
Sincerely yours,

Chairperson Storla called the meeting to order at 7;35 p.m.
APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER 7 1975, HUMAN RESOURCES COPII�IISSION NIINUTES:
MOTION by David Thiele, seconded by Marlyis Carpenter, to approve the
September 7, 1978, Human Resources Co�ission minutes as written. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Storla deciared the motion
carried unanimously.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA-
Mr. Storla stated that the following items would be added at the beginning
of the agenda, moving "Memorandum of Agreement" to Item 4:
1. Anoka Govnty Human Rights Cav�issions' Meeting -
Anoka County Hwnan Rights Day
2. Wickes Furniture Discximination Camplaint
3. Saternational Year of the Child
1.
Mr. SCOrla stated that the Human Rights Co¢�issions of Anoka County had
gotten together on September 24, 1978. Six of the eight co�issions
weze represented at that meeting. They had discussed the followiag two
items:
1. Having a relationshig with'the Anoka County government.
Eight now the majority of the government's money was used
For welfare, public assistance, senior transportation, and
other service organizations, but to no outside advising
committees. The commissians were going to look into that.
HUMAN RESOURCES COrIIiISSIQN MEETiNG OCTOBER S, 1978 - PAGE 2
2. Having a Human Rights Day. They had decided to come back
to their individual casmissions and ask the members' feelings
on whaC should be included in this day. Specifically, the
idea was to get a big name to give the keynote address,
hreak down into groups for workshops, then reconvene and
have a swmiary of what had happened.
Mr. Storla asked the C�ission members i£ they had any ideas of what could
be included in this Human Rights Day.
Ms. Carpeater stated she thought having a Human Rights Day was a very good
idea, and she felt that one area that could be discussed was "discrimination"
and the feelings centered around the people receiving welfare payments.
Mr. Storla asked Mr. Dobson if he would help conduct a workshop on tenant(
landlord cov�issions if the other commissions wished Yo set that upY
Mr. Dobson stated he would be glad to do that.
MY. Thiele stated he felt the Human Rights Day was a good idea also. He
felt a couple of areas that could be discussed were the "handicapped" and
the "�eterans".
Mr. Storla stated that, as things progressed, he would report back to the
Coumission.
2. WICK6S FU&NIT[TRE DISC�iMINATION COMP'LAINT:
Mr. Storla stated that at the last meeting, Mr, and Mrs. Hentges of
Columbia Heights had been present regarding a.discrimination against Mrs. Hentges
by Wickes Furniture. Mrs. Hentges had been rafused credit uhen trying
to purchase furniture.
Mr. Storla stated he had contacted Mr. John W. Nalbor of Wickes Furniture.
�. Nalbor had stated that Wickes had their own credit agency in
Chicago. Mr. Nalbor and the credit agency had gone through the files
trying to find Mrs. Hentges' application and could not find it. Mr. Nalbor
stated that anyone who was over 21 and employed or had a Master Charge
card was automatiCally eligible for $750 credit. He was assuming that
wY�en Mrs. Hentges came in to purchase furniture, she was automatically
aot eligible because she was unemployed, and that her husband was eligible
because he was employed. Mr. Storla stated he would get back to both
Wickes Furaiture and Mr, and Mrs. Hentges to see if this would settle the
matter.
HUMAN RESOURCES COt�AfLSSION MEET�TG OCTOBER 5 1978 - PAGE 3
3. INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE CHII,D:
Mr. Storla stated that the co�issioners each had a copy of a letter
from the National Co�ission on the InternaCional Year of Che Child,
1979. He stated that discussion ou this item would be conCinued at
the next meeting,
Mr. Storla stated that in a speech by PresidenC Carter, the President
had stated that "in our rich country, there are 10 million children who
have never had any medical care at all and one-half the children in this
country have never seen a dentist".
4. MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT-
Mr. Storla stated that the Memorandum of Agreement had not been approved
by the Planning Co�ission,�and it was being sent back because the
Planning Co�ission wanted to have a flow chart--a system the Human
Resouzces Co�ission would use far processing complaints.
MOTION hy Marlyis Carpenter, seconded by David Thiele, to recoum�end to
the Planning Co�ission and the City Council that the Memorandum of
Agreement be approved as written.
Using the "Rules of Procedure for the Human Rights Commission of Bloomington,
Minnesota", Mr. Storla and the Co�ission came up with the following "rules
of procedure":
AANDLING REPORTS OF DISCRIMINATION
Principles. In handling reports of discrimination, the Fridley
Human Resources Co�ission shall make every effort to find
solutions that improve human relations in Fridley and respect �

3. A£ter a finding of probable cause to credit the complaint
of unfair discrimination, the Fridley Human Resources Commission,
with the consent of the complainant, may,
a. proceed ta conciliation, or

charge of an unfair discriminatory practice must be filed within
six months of the occurrence o£ the practice. The co�ission
shall hold a hearing within 45 days of the filing of the charges.
The Commission members did not feel they wanted to get involved with the
formal charges and hearings process.
Mr. Dobson stated that the Commission could not conduct a hearing by itself.
A hearings officer from the State had to be in charge of the hearing, if
a formal heazing was held. He stated this was,part of the American
process of criminal justice, which involved this very same Ching.
$UMAN $ESUURCES COI'R'IISSION MEETiNG OCTOBER 5 1978 - PAGE 6
Mr. Dobson staLed that 3f the Cc�ission did not take an this respansibility,
similar to the responsibility of juries, he thought they �rere negiecYing
the_impvrtant area of enforcing the Human Hights Act. It could go to the
State, but it tame baek to Yhe same situaYion--vhere it would Yake 19
months for a i�earing and many times peopie drapped Lheir charges be£are
that time. He felt if the Commission was only going to hmmdle the easy
cases, there was not much point in their getting involved.
Mr. Fleming stated that he could uuderstand what Mr. Dobson was saying,
but he thought that by the time thi� went ti�rough the Ylanning Comnission
and City Council, their reaction to the formal charges process probably
would be similar to the reaction of the Co�i.ssion's. iie felt if the
Commission got the other part going and did thaY well and could demonstrate
defiaite accomplishments after siac months or a year and could then show
that by adding the £ormal charges mechanisw that they could accomplish
even more, they would have a more solid base on vhich ta get it later,
and would also be older and wiser.
Mr. Thiele staCed he did not feel the C�ission had enough experience
to get in[o what was sequired.
Mr. Dobson staCed that all the Commission was doing was to try to decide
if someone's rights as a human being were being violated. Nobody in the
world was in a better position than a h�an being to make that decision.
No legal training or e�rperieace would put anyoae else in a better gosition
to make that decision.
Mr. Storla stated that after going through all the legal sounding process,
it sounded like the Co�ission wwld only be coming up with rec�mendations
for other people, and those reco�endations were really for the Minnesota
DeparEment of Human Rights. The Co�mission could give the Minnesota
Department of Bvman Rights tbeir recou�endations without going through
the formal charges and hearings.
Mr. Dobson stated there might 6e a misconception in that it did not go
from conciliation to formal charges. It was either/or--either conciliati�
or formal charges.
Mr. Storla stated that the Co�ission had to make sure that their process
did not conflict with the Memorandum of Agreement.
Mr. Storla declared a.ten-minute recess at 9:00 p.m.
The Commission members concurred to leave the "Farmal Charges and Hearings"
ia as Fart of the "rules of procedure".
("rules of procedure" continued)
Setting Hearing. The Fridley Human Resources Commission shall
chooae which one of their regularly scheduled meetings they will
use for the hearing of the charge of unfair discrimination and

APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER 12 1978, CO2�tUNITY DEVBLOPMENT COMMISSION M7NUTES:
M4TION by Comiie Modig, seconded by Renneth Vos, to approve the
September 12, 1978, Community Development'Coumission minutes as written.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Oquist declared the motion
carried unanimously. � -
1. BIK6SdAY/WALKWAY SYSTEM:
At the September 12, 1978, meetiug, Ms. Modig had requested that staff
inform the C aomission, in writing, of who had authorized ehe disposal
of the Bikeway System on Mississippi Street and that there had been an
sgreement that any changes to be made on the Bikeway/Walkway System
should come before the Ca�unity Development Commission first.
Hr.Christensen stated that Che Co�issioa members had a copy of a letYer
dated September 15, 1978, from Mr. Dick Sobiech to Mr. Qureshi, regarding
the "Sumanary of Bikeway System Changes on Missisaippi StreeC and Osborne".
Ms. Modig stated that the letter still did not explain why the City had
not notified the Commissioa of the change before the Commission had to
request that information. She stated that even with the bikeway system
off Mississippi, Chere was still the problem of motorists parkiag on
Hissieaippi, reducing it to a two-lane street moat of the time, regardless
uf the four lanes.
Ms. Modig referred to the firsY paragraph nnder "Conclusions" on page 2
of the letter: "Bpon initial development of the City of Fridley Bikeway
Plan, there was discussion by county personael that eventually Miss3ssippi
Street and Osborne Road would need to revert to four lane roadways.
Ttaffic conditions at this time warrant four lanes, therefore, alternative
bfke routes must be provided. To ensure safety of the bicycllat, it ia
imperaCive that the bike routes be eatablished off thege roadways.��
�
COlAIUNYTY DSYELOPMENT COMMISSIdN MESTING, OCTOBER 11,_1978 - PAGE 2
lfs. 13odig stated that when the city knev they wexe going to resurface
the street, tha Commission should have been notified and the Commission
�would have had ample time to at least establish other bike routes.
Where did the bikes go now? On Che sidewalk with na ramps? The ciCy's
explaFtatfon might be fine, but it was not satisfactory to her as to
what the Community Development Commiasion's stand was on it. If tha
¢ity was going to take over the bikeways, then the Commission should
�tot be responsible tor it in any way.
Mr. Oquist stated that he thought the Gounty had jurisdiction, and he
did nat think the city had mueh to say about it either.
Ma. Modig stated she ag;eed with that, but ahe still thought that the
city had ample notice so that something could have been brought to the
Conmiasion ahead of time in order £or the Commission Co help astablish
aew routes. When Co�nisaion members were approached by citizens abouC
what was happeniag with the Bikeway/Walkway System, the Co�ission members
did not have the vaguest fdea.
MOTION by Connie Modig, seconded by A1 Gabel, to receive the memo dated
September 15, 1978, from Mr'. Dick Sobiech to Mr. Nasim Qureshi regarding
the "Surmm�ary of Bikeway System Changes on Mississippi S[reet and Osborne
Road". IIpon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Oquist declared
the.motion carried unanimously.
I�DTI�T by Connie Modig, �econded bp Renneth Vos, to emphasize again that
the Communitq Development Cammisaion be given ample notice of any further
changes to the Bikeway/Walkway SysCem, prior to those changes, either by
being advised of the altemates or by being informed of what was going
to be done wiCh the Bikeway/Walkway System.
M�. Modig referred to the last paragraph on page 2: "What remains to be
dome on Mississippi Street and Osborne &oad is to maintain the four lane
striping and proceed with properly designating the sidewalks as bikeways
with apgropriate ramp construction, widening of sidewalks where space
is available ia the boulevards and signing and striping for use by both
bicyclists and pedestrians. With bicyclists of£ the stxeet, a safe
bikeway system crill be achieved.°
1+Js, Modig atated that she would 13ke to have some type of time schedule
as to when the sidewalks wwld be used as bikeways.
iIPON A VOICH VOTE, ALL VOTING AYB, CHAIRPERSON OQUIST DBCLARED THE MOTION
GA�&2ED ItNANIM0U5LY.
Mr. Aquist stated he would like to suspend the rules and change the

F�Fnposed Changes of the 2oning Ordinaace.
CO2R4UNITY DEVELOPMENT COI�Il�fISSION MEETING, OCT�ER 11, 1978 - PAGB 3 I
2.
Mr..Chrteteasen stated that the Enviro�ental Quality Gomnisaion had gone
through'the document extensively and had come to same conclusions, Their
major conaerns were the Northtown/Crosstown (the staging of that facility
and-Che implementing), the changing status of Janes Field Anoka County
Airpor[ from a minor airport to an intermediate airport.
t�r. Chriatensen stated there was a conflict of termiaology between
Metropolitan Council and MnDOT. MnDOT considered the Anoka County Airport
presently an intexmediate airport and that it would be upgraded to a key
systems tacility. WhaC MnDO'P called an intermediate, Metropolitan Council
called a miaor, and whaE MnDOT called a key systems, Metropolitan Council
called an intermediate. It was kind of confusing. They should use the
same terminology.
Ms. Modig stated the Plan talked ahout a lot of money to be spent in
developing highways in our area, but the Plan dfd not give a great deal
of infarmation regard..ng noise control and how they were going to deal
with iC. �
�, Christensen gtaCed xhat, regarding the NorthtowniCrosstown, the
Bnuirornnental Quality Commission was inquiring abouC the statement on
page B-112: "Includes new location TH 169." They. were also concerned
thaC it did aot refer to the Northtown Corridor, just the Northtown)
Croaetown, possibly referring to just a major'river esossing.
1�ls. Modig asked if Anoka County and Fridley would be getCing their tair
share of the monies.
Mr. Christensen stated that one problem with the Plan was that 3t was
a stste-wide plan and Region 11, which took in the whole metropolitan
area, was getting its fair share when you looked at the overall state.
Bia personal comment was that these studies ahould have been dane on
a regional basis, rather than state-�.*ide. ' �
� ,. . �, .
Mr.Christensen stated that the.Eaviromnental Quality Co�ission's
and the Coam�unity Development Com�ission's co�ents would be brought
before the State at the public hearing on this documeat for Region 11
on t�ovember 9th at the Hennepin Gwernment Center.
Ms. Malfg etated that vhoever represented the Commiseiou at the public
hearing should be sure that the city was adequately represented and to
get the city's fair share of what it should be getting.
Kr. Oquist stated that the Com�isaion was concerned about the bikeway
aituation. There were ao dollars in the Plan for Chat at all. He did
not know ff that was because they were eupposedly developed in their
CO1�Ai[1NITY DL+4ELOPMBNT 80NAfISSION MEETING UCTOBSB 11 1978 - PAGE 4
bikeway syatem or ff these were to cover what was called Regional Trails
that tied the different coomunities together. The Cocc�ission wonld
like to make sure that Fridley had what was coming in that area. The
Comm�:saian was concerned about the Northtowu Corridor, that iC was
adeQuaLely constructed to xelieve the traffic on 694 at the river, and
that it noC be just a crossover at the river, but be an actual artery
`Cpfttg,into 94. The C6mmission was concerned about the Burlington-
Nor[hem Railroad Bridge over 694 in that the bridge would ha've to be
videned before the 694 widening could take effeet,and how MnDtYF would
deal vith noise abatement generated by the xailroad.
Ms. Modig stated it was her understanding that in the originaY plan,
thexe was no funding fo; barriers far a part of the Innsbruck area when
the baxriers went up as that area was undeveloped. Innsbruck was now
developed and 694 generated a lot of noiae. In the future, MnDOT ahould
conaider noise abatement measures alon� the innabruck segment of 694.
-._._ - --- � .
_ ._
---- __._
Mr.._.Christensea stated that in regard to the bikevays, he believed what
had happened was that the Great River Road Project was originally laid
out.to run up Bast &iver Road. That had been changed so'that the State
Bikeway Trail would be going up 169 or Lyndale on�Che weat side of the
river and crossing over at Coon xapids Dam.
MOTiON by Connie Modig, seconded by A1 Gabel, to forward the concems
discuased to Mr. Clyde Moravetz. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Chairperson Oquist declared the motion carried unanimously.
3: IATtTIAL REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGHS IN CHAPTER 205 ZQ1�lIHG ORDINANCE:
MOTION by A1 Gabel, seconded by Renneth yos, to receiva the "Proposed
Changes in Chapter 205, Zoning". Upon a vuice vote, all voting aye,
Chairper�on Oquist declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Christensen stated that easentially the document was oriented for
camnunities that were developed. It was a reorganization of the 1973
documeat and it put things into a better perspective for those who had
questions regarding apecfal pexmits, variances, etc. It was a more
workable document. He thought Mr. Boardman had done a good job in
organizing it.
The Coumissioners concurred with the £ollowing reco�ended changes:
