UNANIMOUSLY, PUBLIC IiEARING OPENED AT d:40 P.M.
Mr. Boardman explained the building located on the plat had been built sitCi"ng on.the
lots crooked, due to an engineering mistake. The replat was necessary to allow the
ownership records to coincide with the building. 'Che sta£f had no problems' with the
replat. ,
Mx. Richard Cherriex (4206 Woodbine Lane, Mpls.� Mn 55429), stated he repxesented the
architect firm that built Che building. The firm assumed the toCal responsibility of
the placement erXOr. The encroachment, at the most, was approximately 1z feet.
Mr. Schnabel questioned the point on the northeast corner of the building. Stie thought

this point was also w er the lot line. She asked ii the cement slabs for the garage
building were too close to the curb.
Mr. Cherrier said the lot line had a jog in it to accommodate the corner ahe questioned.
He also stated the cement slabs met ctty code requirements as far as placement was
concerned.
I�TION by Mr. Oquest, seconded by Ms. Schnabel to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CNAIRMAN HARRTS DELCARED THE I�TION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:46 P.M.
Ms, Schnabel asked if there was any thing in the new or old zoning ordinances that would
protect the city in instances like this. She was referring to the possibility of a fine
levied against a developer if he places the building on the lot wrong.
Mr. Boardman said he was not aware of any such ordinance. Besides, he said a mistake
like this was a co�on buiZding mistake, and it would not be fair to fine someone for
a honest mistake.
Mr, Harris said that question could be discussed later.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Hora, to reconunend to City Council approval of

2. PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED PRELIrffNARY PLAT P.S, ��79-03 BLOMBERG ESTATES BY
KARLA BLAMBERG: Being a replat of Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and the West half of Lot
10; Lots 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, all in Block 2, Spring Lake Park
Lakeside Addition, and Lots 3, 4 and 5, Block 1, Andco Terrace, generally bound
by Osborne Road on ttie North, 75th Avenue on the South, Arthur Street on the
West, and Lakeside Road on the East,
MOTION by Ms. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE,VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIM(lUSLY.
Mr. Boardman explained that this land was forma2ly owned by the Spring Lake Park School
District. In the Con:prehensive Plan it was designated excess property and put up for
sale. The proposed plat has 42 Iots, Road right-of-way was p;.cked up by the City on the
Andco Terrace Addition, which would help create the access on to Lakeside Road, Right-
of-way was also picked up Lots 23 and 22 when split. There was additional right-of-way
picked up between 1559 and 1571 ?S�h Avenue. The rest of the needed right-of�way will
be dedicated by the developer. The Lakeside Road access runs between two Iots that are
already built on. The city does have road right-of-way between these two lots, but
placing the road here would be putting it 5 feet from the garage located at 7520 Lakeside
Road,. The homeowner, 7550 Lakeside, was considering negotiations with the developer to
allow a jog in the road. This jog would take some of that homeowner's sideyard, but he
would be able to purchase or through developer's dedication acquire the land to the rear
of his and create a larger backyard.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVHMBER 7 1979 PAGE 3
Mr. Boardman said if the Planning Commission approves the request the staff would like
to see the following stipulations:
1. Any necessary fees required be ohtained 6efore the final plat approval,
2. Necessary road right-of-way for accessbe obtained by the developer.
3. Approval by the Rice Creek Watershed of the plat befo� final approval
by the City Council.
4. A sewer and water layout be approved by the City staff before final plat
approvaL
5. Necessary drainage and utility easements be obtained.
Mx. Harris questioned what fees would be necessary.
Mr. Boardman said there was a park fee, plus an environmental development fee. The
latterhas been required on 2 previous lot splits. This fee was to be used for neighbor-
hood improvements, such as landscaping or possible storm sewer improvements. This was
presently being developed by the City Manager's office and Mr. Boardman stated he has
had some discussions with Mx. Quxeshi on what the full policy was. This was"a new
policy to him and he did not fully undeYStand it yet. ,
Mr. Harris demanded to know who started this fee. He said the Planning Commission
had not heard of this fee before and did not think Council had aiven approvai of it.
He wanted to know if this was something staff started. He questioned what previous
lot splits had been required to pay it, how much the fee was and where the money went
when collected. Mr. Harris said if this was money for storm sewer i.mprovement we should
call it that.
Mr. Boardman siad it was not a storm sewer escrow, but a land development fee.
Mr. Harris said he was very upset about this and would get some answers.
Ms. Hughes stated there was a difference 6etween fees that are necessary and those
that are desired. Park fees are necessary and the stipulation on fees should state
what fees are required.
Mr. Oquist added another way to state that would be fees that are authorized (park fees)
and fees that are unauthorized. This fee was unauthorized.
Mr. Boardman explained one use would Ue the correction of docanstream storm sewer problems.
Some sort of action in the future to alleviate those problems will have to be taken and
possibly this was wliat the City Manger's office had in mind.
Mr. Aarris said we should get the Council and city attorney's opinion on this fee. He
wanted to know how the city can charge for something before the policy has Ueen written
and authorized.
Mr. Boardman went on to say the staff could see no development proUlems caith the p1aC.
The only possible one would Ue access on to Lakeside Road. City ordinance requires Che
developer to oUtain access in and out of a new plat.
Ms. Schnabel asked for the aerial of this neigfiborhood and where the homes and gaxages
were located by the planned Lakeside Road access.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 7 1979 PAGE 4
Ms. Karla Blomberg, 1661 Camelot Lane came fonuard. She said she was unaware of this
$800.00 per lot environmental development fee until recently. She did not know how
the city could arbitrarily decide on such a fee. Ms. Blomberg said she talked to the
City Manager on it and did not get any answeres that could show the need for such a fee.
She said her lawyer_ was checking in to it. She asked Mr. Harris to please check into
it also.
Ms. Hughes asked if she would go along with the new road plan for the Lakeside Road
access.
Ms. Blom6erg said she had not had time to negotiate, but thought the new plan would be
okay. She felt the road should be moved because of safety (too close to a garage) and
looks. She also said the Rice Creek Watershed District was meeting on the 28th of this
month to discuss the plat. She was told toitait on any sewer and water plan until after
that meeting so any conditions or reco�endations could be implemented in the plan.
Mr. Harris said a final sewer and water plan would be required before the plat was given
final approval.
Ms. Schnabel asked if she owns this land and would be developing it.
Ms. Blomberg replied a contractor, her husband and herself own the land and would be
constructing cu3vm built homes.
Ms. Hughes noted the lot widths varied from 75 to 90 feet and wondered why they had
done this.
Ms, Blomberg said the different lot widths allow homeowners to choose a lot and house
plan without having to worry about getting variances. Some house plans require a wider
lot then others. It also gives less conformity to the neighborhood.
N3r. Boardman said one change reco�ended by staff would be to switch the lot widths
of Lots 11 and 14, Block 3, with those of Lots 12 and 13, Block 3. Tfiis would make the
corner lots 85 Eeet wide instead of 80 feet and with the sideyard requirements, develo-
ping the lots would be easier.
Mr. Harris asked for audience discussion.
Mr. Leo Heyne, 7550 Lakeside Road, said he was the owner of the lot which the Lakeside
Road access would be by. Mr. Heyne said he was unaware until after he bought his home
that his house was placed so he had no rear yard, only sideyard. He stated he would be
w illing to work out an agreement where the proposed Yoad could jog over onto his sideyard.
He would then buy the land to the rear of his property and create a Iarger backyard for
himself. Mr. Heyne said if he purchased appxoximately 45 feet and with some juggling
of the developer's lot lines, the plat would have the same number of lots. '
Mrs. Winifred Maki, 7520 Lakeside Road, said she lives on the opposite side of the pro-
posed road. Her garage would be located 5 feet Erom the road. She expressed concern on
t he water table. There was a creek bed in this area and she questioned if the new con-
struction could cause the water tabel to rise. She also said she was against the street
going in next to her garage because she would loose her sideyard.
Mr. Oquist questioned what creek Mrs, Maki was referring to.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 7 1979 PAGE 5
Mx. Boardman said this was an underground creek bed and Comstock and Davis had been asked
to determine the level of the water table and flow for this area.
Mr. Greg Kline, 7612 Arthur Street, said he was concerned by the possibility of head-
lighes shining into homes where the proposed streets came out. He also wanCed to
know if the entire plat would ba graded and leveled at one time and then allowed to
sit until construction starts.
Ms. Blomberg replied it was too expensive to level the entire area without any construc-
tion coimnitments. They also intend to leave the land as natural and rolling as it was
presently.
Mr. L1oyd Dawson, 1525-75th Avenue NE, asked what type of construction would be put in
the area.
Mr. Harris replied it would be all R-1, single family dwellings.
Mr. Jim Carlson, 7531 Lakeside Road, wanted to kno�o why the street could not be brought
out to the county road (Osborne Road) instead of having an additional 40 people trying to
get out by using Lakeside Road. He said the corner of Lakeside and Osborne was a vis-
ually hazardous intersection already. If the road came out onto Osborne, perhaps the
county would improve the road. This would also keep more traffic ofi of a residential
street where there are kids playing.
Mr. Harris said the ciCy has no control over what the county does and they were touchy
about giving any road accesses on their roads.
Ms, Blomberg said if the road went through Lots 1-4, Block, they would loose 2 lots, plus
Lot 21 would have roads on 3 sides,
Mrs, John Hennes, 7600 Arthur Street, asked if the developers would be rezoning the
area at all or leaving it R-1. �
Mr. Blomberg said they would be leaving it R-1.
Mr, Carlson asked if they would grade and fill in the low spots and then start building,
He was worried about excess dusC blowing around.
Mr. Blomberg said they would grade for the streets firts and then do 1 to 5 lots at a
time. Mrs. Blomberg e,dded that she could see the possibility of filling in lo�o spots
w ith fill from the area and that could cause some dust problems.
Mrs. Karen Lennox, 7547 Lakeside Road, wanted to kno�o if there had to be an'acces on to
Lakeside Road from 75z Avenue or if there was any other type �f access possible.
Mr. Harris sai3 it would be difficult to place the road elsewhere. ,
Mrs. Lennox stated it wouldn`t be difficult, but expensive to the developer. She was
not sure of tlie alternative available, but felt Mr. Carlson's suggestion of having an
access onto Osborne Road was good, She also said with the number of homes involved,
possibly matching up a road with 76th or bringing the new Yoad back around to Arthur
Street would be a solution.
PT,ANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVEPIBER 7 1979 PAGE 6
Members of the audience who live on Arthur Street o6jected to the latter proposal be-
cause all the traffic burden would be on their street.
Mr. Boardman said if they matched up with 76th Avenue they would need a cul-de-sac to
run down to service the soiith lots. City codes limit the length that a cul-de-sac can
be. Due to police and fire protection and streeC maintenance, city policy was to keep
away from cul-de-sacs.
Ms, Hughes pointed out if a street was put in to match up with 76th, a cul••de-sac plus
one more street would still be needed. She wanted to know if there was some other
alternative.
Mx. Boardman said you would have to have at least 1 or 2 cul-de-�acs then. Cul-de-sacs
take up more area and the sewer and water has to be looped to service the homes. It
was very expensive fox the developer plus expensive for the city to maintain.
Mr. Heyne said he would go along with a cul-de-sac-to service the lots in back of his
propexty. He also pointed out the cul-de-sac that was recently built on Flanery.
Mrs. Maki asked if the commission would recommend a cul-de-sac by their property if it
meant them loosing 25 feet of their property to a road. ,
Mr. Boardman said he could understand Mrs. Maki's feelings, but again stated because
of development costs and mair.tenance costs the city wants to stay away from cul-de-sacs.
Mr, Heyne said he was not convinced of the maintenance problem. He walks by the one on
Flanery on his way to work each day and has never seen a snow removal problem.
�Is. SchnabeT said she lives on a cul-de-sac and they ha�e had terrible snow removal pro-
blems in the winterse The plowing was a pain and they have had to have special plows
come out and either push the snow way up into their yards or into the middle of Yhe cul-
de-sac. She al��o said living on a cul-de-sac was noiser because you are closer to your
neighbor's home.
NTrs. Maline Fish, 7501 Lakeside Road, said she did not like cul-de-sacs either and pro-
posed the road to come back onto Arthur Street.
Mr. Oquist pointed out the traffic burden would then be on only those homeowners.
pLs, Schnabel asked if the developer had tried any other access designs.
Ms, Blomberg replied they are not trying to make it difficult for the present homeowners
They had worked with the Planning Department on the plan and this was the most feasible
as far as potential development and costs. The surveyor they had contacted felt this
was the most feasible plan also.
Mr. John Hennes, 7600 Arthur Street, asked about the possibi2ity of flipping the plan.
Mr. Harris said this w aild make the Lakeside Road access too c7.ose to Oshorne Road and
could cause a stacking proUlem on Lakeside Road. This would be a safety hazard.
Mrs. Lennox suggested trading off the road access the city already has on Lots 21 and 22,
put the road in to line up with 76th Avenue and then re-shuffle the lot widths on Lake-
side Road.
PI,ANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 7 i979 PAG� 7
Mr. Boardman said Lots 21 and 22 could not he serviced if they were to be split.
It was asked how Lots 1 and 2 on the north end would be serviced.
Mr. Harris said if these lots are split, a driveway easement would be required across
Lot 4 to service Lot 2.
Ms. Blomberg agreed to that. A 25 feet driveway easement would be dedicated for this
purpose.
MOTION by Ms. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOIC� VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMt1N ITA1�tIS DECLAREA THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMO'JSLY. PUBLIC HEARING CIASED AT 9:02 P.M.
Ms. Hughes said there were other alternative solutions for the xoads, but none seemed
as feasible as the one presented. She felt because of the stacking problem if the plan
was flipped, the added cul-de-sacs and because right-of-way had already been dedicaeed,
this plan was the best. However, this-plan would depend on if an agreement could be made
between the 2 homeooJners and the developer.
Ms. Schnabel said unless that agreement was made, it would be hard to say what could
happen. If they can`t make that agreement the plan may have to be reviewed by the
Planning Commission again. The burden was on the developer to get the needed access.
She fe1L- a reconunendation could be made to the City Council base3 on that agreement
or else the Council will have to come up with some other solution.
P4s. Hughes said with all the stipulations reqeested by staff and the agreement that was
needed for road access, what was the best way to hanale this request.
Mr. Harris said the commission had the option to deny the request, or make a recommenda-
tion for approval to Council with the staff stipulations plus the access agreement. IY
t he access agreement c:as not worlced out, it should come back to the commission.
Ms. Hughes said she would like to see the recommendation first by the Rice Creek Water-
shed District.
Ms. Blomberg said if the Rice Creek Watershed District required holding or retention
ponds that would change the configuration of the plat. However when she did talk to
t h�n, they thought the plan looked okay. If reconfiguration was needed, then she
would have to come back to the Planning Commission. Possibly they could make a recom-
mendation on that possibility.
Mr. Boardman suggested they pass recoimnendation to Council if there was no r@configuration
change. Ii there was a reconfiguxation then it should come back to the co;nmission ior
review. He could not see any point in holding up the plat if there was no�change. Ile
pointed out that Council could change the final plat if necessary.
Mr. Harris stated that was true, but would like to see the plan go to Council as com- ,
plete as possible.
MOTION by Ms. Hughes to continue the discussion on Preliminary Plat P.S, d�79-03, Blomberg
Estates.
e
PLANNZNG COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 7 1979 PAGE 8
Chairman Harris declared the motion failed because of a lack of a second.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels, to reco�nend to City Cauncil approval
of proposed Preliminary Plat, P.S, ip79-03, Blomberg Estates with the following
stipulations:
1. Work out costs of authorized fees (park fees).
2. Work out agreement on right-of-way acquisition to provide access.
3. Rice Creek Watershed approval.
4. Sewer and water layout approval by staff.
5. Drainage and utility easements around each lot be dedicated.
6. Dedication of a 25 foot driveway easement to Lot Z, Block 2, thru Lot 4.
7. Switch the lots sizes of Lots 11 and 14, Block 3 with those of Lots 12 and
13, Block 3.
8, If the plat was reconfigured, for any reason, the plat will come back to
the Planning Cocmnission for further review.
Mr. Boardman said staff would also like to see Cleveland Street changed to Anoka Street.
Mr. Carlson asked if Mr. Heyne and Mrs. Maki cannot reach an agreement would the fixst
alternative road configuration be to line up with 76th Avenue.
Mr. Harris said he could not say that for sure. What the Planning Commission was trying
to do, was if there was any reconfiguration, the plan would come back to Yhe co�inssion
for review.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CiiAIRMAN IiARItIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Boardman said the Council will set a Public Hearing for this in January at their
December 3, 1979 meeting.
Mr. Harris asked to have the homeowners renotified if the plan has to come back to the
Planning Commission.
3. RECEIVE tNMAN RESOURCES COrA1I5SI0N MINUTES: OCTOBER 18, 1979
MOTION by Mr. Treuenfels, seconded by Ms. Hughes, to receive the Human Resource
Conunission minutes of October 18, 1979.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMAN iiAR12IS DECLAR�D THE MOTION CARRIED ,
ANANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Aughes said the discussion on fundinS was referred to the Council. The Council
had received recommendations from the Planning Commission before and had sent those
recommendations back to the Human Resource Commission. She wanted to know if Planning
Commission had more.to say on the funding resources, She wished to discuss them more.
PI.ANNING COMMISSION ME�TING NOVII9BER 7, 1979 PAG� 9
Mr. Boardman said he noticed they had allowed money for a contingency fund (35% of
$10,000) and wanted to know if there was money availaUle for that fund c.o u1d they
use it up on more requests or what would happen to it.
Mr. Treuenfels said the other requests received totaled $6,500 and they have received
one more request and wi11 probably get more. The money for those additional requests
will presumably come out of the contingency fund.
Ms. Hughes said the request to determine the amounts came down by either the Council
or the City Manager. They did not give an exact dollar amount to work with and the
Human Resource Commission picked out the amount of $10,000. It was hard to give a
certain percentage for each request Uecause if the dollar amount was different, say
only $5,000, the commission could have ranked each request different. The commission
was not given enough. information to work with. How can you give a request a percentage
of an unkown amount. That was a critical question. She felt the dollar amounts
alloted each request should be increase, lor example to $20,000 each, plus increase the
amount of the contingency fund to help iund the critical area reques� like SACA,
Mr. Boardman said he had some questions and problems on that. The idea that Council
and the City Manager's office was getting at was you have an unknown amount of dollars,
and five requests. How would prioritize each request and decide what percentage each
priority gets. If there was only $5,0�0 available and pxiority one xequests Sg�000,
do we give them all of the money available or do we give them only a percentage of the
amount available.
Mr. Oquist said the percentage business was fine for what we know today. But, was this
something we go thru the first of each year. We may not know then who zaill be requesting
finds and how much.
Mr. Harris said he would like to see no dollar amounts, but decided on percentage figures.
Does priority one get 50% of what ever amount was availaUle. He felt there should be a
cut off date on the applications so that- the amounts can be budgeted into the next year's
budget. He felt this was what Cnuncil was looking for.�
Ms. Hughes said Council got that in these minutes. The Auman Resource Commission recom-
mended 160% funding of the requests. She said Planning Coc�ission should concur� with
that recommendation.
Mx. Treuenfels said the request by AKICIC was not in at the time of this meeting that
decided on the other requests.
Mr. Boardman said he £elt that recormnendation would be a good one. to sent to Council.
He also said the applications should be in by a certain cut off date so the Human Resouxce
Commission can give the requests priority listing. Those priorities would be ranked
however that commission wislied, perhaps by service to the community. They then would
have to give eacl� priority a percentage. For example, priority one gets 50% of their
funds or do they get 50% of their request.
Mr. Treuenfels doubted the scheme of priarity one gett-ing all the funds if funds are
low and no one else getting anything.
Mr. Boardman stated that was why the Human Resource Conunission had to decide how to
divide up the availaUle funds.
PLADINING COMMISSION MEETING NOVIIfBER 7 1979 PAGE'10
Mr. Oquist said it will be known how much money there was available because these
requests will be asked for before the new budget was adopted.
Ms. Hughes questioned what happens to requests that come in after the budget has been
adopted. There will be money still available somehow, somewhere in the budget.
Mr. Harris said he has a problem with how these request come in now. How can the City
justify to the taxpayers having a$100,000 contingency fund that may not be used.
Ms. Hughes said she could understand that point, but requests will come up later and
h ow do we handle them.
Mr. Harris said we only have so much money that we can work with. If we went to the
Federal gove�mment after their cut off we would be told the same thing.
Mr. Boardman replied that was why a process should be set up. Right now Council was
setting up a priorities list arbitrarily on a first come first serve basis.The money
has never been budgeted for these requests. We need to have the Human ResouYce Commis-
sion make recommendations and set up a list.
Mr. Harris said he was against slush funds. Ae felt it was better to have monies
budgeted.
Ms. Hughes replied the lobbying for funds should be done while the budget was being
worked on and not through the Human Resource Cou¢nis�n.
Mr. Boardman said the Humzn Resource Commission would be needed to set up priorities.
If the Council has a priority list, they can then determine the amount of money avail-
able and neaded. They could cut and add to the contiugency fund as needed by this
priority list.
MOTSON by PIs, Rughes to concurr with the recommendation to the City Council by the
Human Resource Commission on allocation of funds to the�Central Center for Family
Resources ($5,000), Anoka County Senior Citizen Outreach Program ($1,000) and SACA
($500).
Chaixznan Harr.is declared the motion failed because of a lack of a second.
Mr. Harris wanted to know if these requests come out of the 1980 budget.
Ms, Hughes said no, fhey should come out of the 1979 hudget.
Mr. Boardman said it would more then lilcely have to come out of the 1980 budget.
.
Ms. Hughes said these requests were received in June and July and they want the money
now.
Mr. Oquist pointed out that if they recommende3 approval of the money tonight, it will
probably not be paid until January 2, 1980, so therefore it will be 1980 budgeted money.
Steve Kline, representing Anoka County Senior Citizen's Outreach Program, said his pro-
g ram placed it's request about 4 months ago and are on a very tight budget. Anyway to
speed up the grocess to get the money would be appreciated. �
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVII�A3ER 7 1979 PAGE' 11
Mr. Harris said they are not sure where the money was budgeted, but would not with
hold it if they l�ad it.
Ms. Schnabel asked if in 7 or 8 month these requests would need more money, where does
t he money come from then.
Mr. Kline said as of 7u1y, 1980, this program will be locally funded with a 50% matching
Federal grant. This contribution from Fridley would be a one time contribution. They
have already received funds from neighboring cities.
Ms. Schnagel asked how the other cities appropriated funds.
Mr. Boardman said the same way we are doing it.
Mr. Oquist said requests made in 1980 will have te be handled the same way they are now
being handled. Requests in 1981 will be budgeted for. However,.these programs that
request funds will have to be notified so they lcnow of Che new funding policq, We
will have to play it by ear until budgeting starts in 1980 for the 1981 budget. If we
don't have the money to give out until the budgeted money takes over, then we won't.
Mr. Boardman agreed. He said what Planning Commission will be saying was that the pxe-
sent requests will Ue paid for out of the 1980 slush fund. As of July, 1980, we wi11
start the new policy where programs make application fox budgeted money. The Human
Resource Co�nission will then prioritize the requests and Council will then budget £or
them.
Mr. Oquist said that was what he was saying. We cannot prioritize these requests or set
a percentage on them because there was no 1980 budget for thent. The Planning Commission
recommends paying the stated amount for .each request and that was all they could do
now.
Ms, Aughes said the City could pay these requests before January 2, 1980 if they really
want2d to. -
Mr. Harris wanted to know if SACA's request would be enough. He could noc imagine them
making their budget on only $500 until 1981. He felt they should be contacted to see
if that would be enough.
Ms. Hughes said she would go and ca11 Pat Brennen and ask her to come to the meeting.
Chairman Harris declared a recess at 10;08 P,M, and reconveyned at 10:25 P.M.
Pat Brennen, President of the Board and Co-ordinator of SACA, said she had turned her
request in last summer, plus she sent a letter to Mr. Qureshi and did not geC a reply.
Later she and Mr. Watson, also of SACA, went and saw Mro Qureshi and were [old at that
time $500 was little enough for what SACA does for the community. They are sti11 wait-
ing for their money.
Tir. Harris explained they wcre setting up a new program which could eliminate any more
funding until January 2, 1981. This $500 approved now may have to last SACA for an
18 month period and wanted to lcnow if that amount was enough,
Mrs. Brennen said she believed SACA should get money from Rridley each year. Columbia
Heights has donated a house plus utilities for them to use. Al1 they pay was $40 a
PLANNING CONAfISSION MEETING. NOVE[1BrR 7, 1979 ' PAGE 12
month for telephone service. SACA serves more Fridley residents then Columbia Heights
and should help in funding. She stated they would need the $500 for 1979 and an addi-
tional $500 for 1980. That amount would cover the telephone service.
Mr. Oquist asked if they would be notifying Central Center.
Mr. Harris said no. The commission felt $5,000 was a good size contribution.
Ms. Hughes said the program has started. They have had 5 state grant reviews and were
turned dopn on the last one. They have been told the grant program that they wrote was too
good and they are too new. They have only been in operation since August, 1979. She
said they are in worse needs of funds now then if they had gotten state funds. They
have been serving families in the area already. Some funding has come through Blaine,
Spring Lake Park and Medtronic. Their biggest p=ohlem was getting funds for administra-
tive costs and individual counseling. They plan to add one more counselor for individual
counseling, but the counseling fees wiil pay for that. It was an expensive, but needed,
service. The $5,000 would be used to help set up the first year of operation,
Mr. Harris questioned the status of KKKK.
Mr. Treuenfels said they have asked for $3,000. But the Human Resource Commission did
not feel they had looked elsewhere for funding help and also were not sure how many
people this program reached. Members of IuQ� had offered to pay more than the $10 per
year fee, but had been turned down by the Board of I�KIZ. He said the Human Resource
Commission recommended to the Planning Co�nission at their last meeting matching funds
up to $1,SU0.
MOTION by Mr. Treuenfels, seconded by Ms. Hughes to concur with the recommendations by
the Human Resourc� Commission:to recommend to the City Council to pay the following
fund requests:
1. Central Center for Family Resources
2. Anoka Cty. Sr. Citizens Outreach Program
3. SACA, change from $500 to
4. KKKK matching funds up to
5. Coxitingency Fund, reduced to
$5,000 50%
$1,000 10%
$1,000 10%
$1,500 15%
$1,500: 15%
Ms. Hughes asked if percentages where included in Mr. Treuenfels motion. Mr. Treuenfels
said yes and also the contingency fund,
Ms. Hughes withdrew her second.
Ghairman Harris declared the motion failed because of a lack of a second,
MOTION by Mr. Treuenfels, seconded 6y Ms. Hughes to concur with the recommendations by
the Human Resource CommisSion to recommend to the City Council to pay the following
fund requests: Percentages are not nr.cluded in the motion
1. Central Center for Family Resources $5,000
2. Anolca Cty, Sr. Citizens Outreach Program $1,000
3, SACA, change from $500 to $1,000
4. 'ICKKK, matching funds up to $1,500
5. Contingency Fund, reduced to $1�500
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 7 1979 PAGE 13
Mr. Oquist questioned the time limit on KI:KK for xaising £unds to receive the matching
funds of up to $1,500. He felt there should be a cuY off period. He said he did not
know what the KKKK was and it did not seem right to him that SACA or the Sr. Citizen
Outreach Program should only get $1,000 each. He also could not go along with the
motion because of the contingency fund.
Mr. Treuenfels explained what Kh'I� was, stating it was a place for parents and pre-
schoolers to come and do activities with their children, other children and parents.
They use a room at the Community Education building. They did present a budget of $3100.
Nir. Boardman said if the $3,000 had been approved we would have been funding their
entire program.
Mr. Oquist could not see where that much funding would be required. lie pointed especially
since they turned down additional funding by the peop2e who use the program,
Mrs. Brennen said she was on the Education Advisory Board and the funding was based on
a strong community need for a preschool pzogram. This was an ungoing program and she
hated to see it stopped.
Mr. Oquist said it should get some support from the school district,
Ms. Schnabel said the program almost sounded like a day care center.
Mrs. Brennen said the parents are involved with the program each time their child was
there. The thought was tlie parent was the most important teacher a child has.
Mr. Oquist felt the people using this program should be able to fund it more then they
were.
Ms. Schnabel felt it seemed to touch the different areas of social work, parks and rec-
reation and education and was not sure if it was someth'ing the City should fund.
Mr. Boardman ::tated this was were the priorities will help out. If an organization,
t hat helps the citizens, has looked at all aspects of funding their program and none
was available, then the city could help. It seemed the KKRK had not looked at a11 the
areas yet open to them ior funding. That was an important question for the city to ask.
MOTION by Ms. Hughes, seconded by Ms. Schnabel to ammend the original motion to read
Chat KI:RK must raise by July 1, 1980, at least $1,000 to receive matching fund up to
$1,000 from the City.

sion could review it at that time.

APPRQVAL OF QCTQBE:4 18, 1979, HUMAN RESOtPiCES CQ�;ISSIv^i3 P1INUiES: ¢
MO'fION by Ms. van Dan, seconded by Mx. Saund�rs, to appr�ve the NovemUer l, 1979,
Human Resources Commission minuCes approved ae written. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Chairperson Treuenfels declared the motion carried unanimously.
l. PRESENTATION BY KKKK (KOPING WITH KIDS FROM KRADLE TO KINDERGARTEN):
NLs, Sharpe stated that KKIZK began approximately two years ago when Don Larson
retired from School District �k14. Don Larson was a leader in the SGate of
Minnesota with creaCive ideas for preschool screening and preschool education.
At the time he retired from the district, because of a lack of funds and
declining enrollment, there was a question as to who could take over the program
he was doing with parents of preschoolers.. Several parents were approached by
Coa¢nunity Education and asked if they were willing to take over the program
and keep it going and try to expand the program to serve the parents of pre-
schoolers in Che community,
ti
Ms. Sharpe stated that the main function they started with and wixat they hoped
to lceep as their main function in the program was informational and support
groups for parents. They felt it �oas very important for parents to know there
are other parents going Chrough the same problems.
HUMAN RF;SOURCES COMMISSION MEETL*IG NOVEMI3ER 1 1979 - PAGE 2
Ms. Sharpe read KKRK's philosophy to the Commission members: "Education and
training is demanded of most careers, but the most important and demanding'
career of all, parenting, Uecomes one of guesswork and worrying over what is
rtght or wrong. Far too long parents have been hesitant to admit their concerns
for fear of admitting failure. In reality, we a11 have concerns, doubts, and '
fears."
Ms. Sharpe stated that through guest speakers and group discussions, they
are trying to pass information on to parent's and trying to give them the support
they need in their very important roles as parents.
Ms. Sharpe stated that in discussions with parents during the first year they
were in operation, they tried to find out what way they could serve the community
and preschool parent community as a whole and how they could help them with
their parenting skills and improve on their relationships with their children,
The one thing that came up most was the fact that in the Minnesota climate,
there are many activiti.es in the summer, but in the winter, activities for young
children are at a standstiil. With declining enrollment and the smaller pre-
school population, children have to go further and further away from home to
have a playmate in their own age group. She stated that, basically, Chat was
how the function of the Creative Play Center came about.
Ms. Sharpe stated tnat one of the functions of the ItHICK is to put out a monthly
newsletter called the "Koping with Kids Kourier". By doing this, they try to
not aily keep parents informed of activities gaing on in the Crea�ive Play Ceneer,
Uut also to tell abnu*_ special activi.ties sponsored hy the Paxks & Reereat=on
Department, nutritional ideas, and fun ideas. Eesides the "Kourier", t.hey
publictze through the Fr.idley Sun, communit} bul.letin board, and try to get the
word out to preschool parents.
Ms. Sharpe stated that a11 activities for this year are housed in the Community
Bducation building, and they have a former kindergarten room for their
Creative Play Center. Ms. Sharpe gave a slide presentation of the Creative
Play Center.
Ms. Stillson stated they have tried to adapt the program to fit the community
of Fridley. When they started out, it came from the inspiration from parents
for the support groups and getting the children together and parents together
to reinforce one another. Last spring, they asked the parents to fill out an
evaluation form, and they used those comments in planning their program for
this year. They have added equipment and have added new books to the children's
library. They are going to try to expand in the area of field trips. A lot
of parents requested that tlze Center be open one afternoon a week, and Yhey
would lilce to try that to see what response they would get. The response for
the mnrnings has 6een good. They have been open one month and have 70 family
memberships, They would also like to try being open on Saturday mornings to
make it possible for more fathers and worlcing mothers to be able to come with
their child.
HITMhN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 1 1979 - PAGE 3
Ms. Stillson stated that this year, they were funded through Co�unity Education,
as well as through a grant from Anoka CounLy Day Care Association. The Anoka
County Day Care Association grant would run out the end of December 1479.
They did not £eel they could apply for any more funding through the Anoka
County Day Care Association, because those funds are for setting up programs,
and they feel their program is established and running well. Stie stated they
have gone to civic organizations and many businesses in Sridley for support.
The civic organizations have been generous, but that is not enough to maintain
the entire program, so they are coming to the City for help. They are trying
Co keep Che program as a service to the Fridley area. They are not a day care,
and she felt their numbers speak for Chemselves. ' With declining enrollment,
they feel it is very importanC that children have a place to get tagether and
where the mothers can get together to discuss problems and visit.
Ms. Sharpe gave Che Commission members copies of a budget proposal which was
to be presented to the Human Respurces Commission £or the Co�nission's consider-
ation. She stated that in the past month, they have had an average of 87-100
children come to the Center.
Ms. Shaxpe stated they work very closely with the DisCrict 14 staft. Many times
when a parent feels a child has a problem, they can send the child to the pre-
school nurse, school psychologist, or to the speech therapist. They feel that
the fact that they can refer people and the fact that people are being referred
to the Center through the Anoka County Day Care Association is very important.
Many of the Aneka County Day Care Association`s licersin.g workers are suggesting
that families us� the Center as an outleC.
.
t4s. Stillson stated they do charge a$10 fee for family memberships. They try
to keep the fee low so they don't exclude any family and sti11 be a service to
the community.
Mr. Fleming suggested that £amily memberships be on a sliding scaie basis.
Ms. Stillson seated that the sliding scale basis was disoussed. All of the
sCaff who work with KKHIC are on a volunteer basis, and the only Cimes they
are paid are the times when they acCually man the Center. If they were Co have
a sliding scale, that would involve a lot of saneone's time which would require
more volunteer time.
Ms. Sharpe stated that KKKK's budget proposal for 1979-80 was $3,100. Th.ey
had taken the opportunity to tour other centers similar to Cheirs, and similar
centers were operating on a budget of $50-90,000 a year. She stated they are
trying to utilize volunteers and school district professional people, rather
than hiring people. The school district provides the raom, the utilities,
the janitorial services, and help give a lot of direction as far as administration.
Ms. van Dan asked if the KKKK �aas requestir� a certain dollar amounC from the
City of Fridley.
Ms. Sharpe stated that they were asking for $3,100.
�
HUMAN R�SOURCHS COPTMiSSION MEETING NOVEMAER 1 1979 - PAGF, 4
Ms. Stillson stated they were finding that the civic organizations wanted to
donate money for equipment, etc,, rather Chan for salaries. .
The Commissioners thanked the representatives from ICIIXK for their presentation.
Mr. Saunders stated KIQtK was a good concept, but he did not know if it was
something thae the City should feel obligated to'fund. He suggested that the
Commission recommend the City fund $1,500, if KKKK could find matching funds
elsewhere.

Mr. Boardman stated that this document sets up the procedures for cneck writing
and gives the Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) the procedure they have
to follow in order to disburse money frmn the tax increment district to project
and project development. As laid out, this is almost the same accounting
procedure followed with the City Council.
Mr. Boardman stated that �61 states: "All disbursemenYs shall be made only
upon the order of the Director or Executive Director of the Authority, duly
authorized by a resolution or motion of the Authority..." Mr. Boardman stated
that once a month, they will bring a list of requests for payment and ask the
Authority to approve that list of payments. It laid out the format for that
disbursement of monies.
Mr. Boardman stated that �k2 states: "The Authority sha11 provide for the
regular payment without specific individualized authori�ation by the AuChority
of salaries and wages..." Mr. Boardman stated that any salaries and wages
that come out of the Authotity budget will be done automatically, and every
month the AuthoriCy will be billed for those wages by the City. That will be
an authorized bill to be paid. The Authority will also have a budget that
lays out a breakdown of program expenses and what kind of revenue and costs
in 1980.

2. PROPOSED BUDGET:

Mr. Boardman stated that, at this time, there were three project funds they
were looking at: Project Fund No. 1 which is the Center CiYy Tax Increment
District, the Tax Increment Fund which is a separate fund for taxes coming into
the District, and the Large Family Home Ownership Fund.
Mr. Boardman stated that the first sheet was a Revenue Summary Sheet for 1980.
They had left Bond Sa1es out at this time, because they are not sure i£ they
are going to get involved in any bond sales in 1980. If for any reason they
do get involved in bond sales, the Authority will then review the bond sumueries
and approve those bond sales.
Mr, Boardman stated that under Project Fund No. 1 under Revenue Summary, they
have Transfers from the Tax Increment Fund of $66,462. Thae is their anticipated
revenue to cover administrative costs in 1980. Under Project Fund No. 1, there
is a Loan from the CiCy that is 1979 monies. So, for 1979, they anticipate their
staff time and any consultant fees and legal fees to run around $33,330. At this
time, they do not have any monies in their Tax Increment Fund, because they
won't get paid any taxes until 1980. So, the HRA is taking a loan from the City
of $33,33� to pay for anticipated 1979 costs. When a bond sale goes into effect,
the HRA, with bond s:iles for the Tax Increment District, will include ehis fee
for that bond sale and pay the City back. Or, they would recover that depending
on an increased cost o£ the tax increment if no bond sales take place.
Mr. Boardman stated that in the Large Family Home Ownership program,they
anticipate a staff cost in 1979 of $2,172. In 1980, they anticipate a revenue
of $117,828. . '
. The City made $12,000 on the Section 8 program. That surplus
of $12,000 has to be spent on another housing program in the City. So,�at this
point in time, they have asked the City to transfer those funds from the Section S
program to the Large Family Home Ocmership program to cover administrative
costs or any other expenses. Wieh the Large Family Home Ownership program, they
anticipate a land.sale of around $28,000, so the subtotal is $153,828. The
total revenue anticipated in 1979 is $36,859, of which $33,330 is a loan from
the City. In 1980, they anticipate a total program cost of $291,862. /�

HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING NOVEMBER 8 1979 - PAGE 3
Mr. Boardman stated the second sheet was an Expense Su�ary breakdown. In.
1980their anticipated expenses under Project Fund No. 1 are $62,596. Their
1979 expense is what they are going to be borrowing from the CiCy. Total
contingency cost is $3,866. Subtotal cost under that program is going to be
$66,462. They are transferring Tax Increment Funds out of this fund and into
ProjecC Fund No. 1. The Large Family Home Ownership project fund shows a total
cost of $141,081 in 1980. They are looking at a$12,747 contingency which they
need because it may be more expensive to do certain things such as relocation
costs. The Expense Su�ary sheet is balanced with the Revenue Suum�ary, which
shows they are not overspending their program.
Mr. Boardman stated that the next three pages of the budget are a breakdown
of the actual Program Group Detail of those expenses.

VICE CHAIRPERSON HOUCK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. REVIEW OF APPRAISAL FOR LARGE FAMILY HOME OWATERHSbaIP PROGRAM:
Mr. Boardman stated they had contracted with Curtis Larson, an Appraiser, to
do an appraisal on the two properties the City was looking at purchasing.
Mr. Larson has done the appraisal, and they have sent this appraisal to a
review appraiser. Those forms should be coming.back fram the review appraiser
on Tuesday of the following week. At that point in time, they can send a
letCer to the property owners of the City's offer to purchase. Before 'doing
that, Mr. Boardman stated he would be sitting dowci with the HUD people and
the City Attorney to make sure everything was being done right.
Mr. Prieditis asked what would happen if the property owners did not want
to sell their properties.
Mr. Boardman stated that if the property owners did not accept the City's
offer, they would go into negotiation, If the property owners did not accept
the negotiated offer, the City wi11 send a letter that says the City is not
interesCed in purchasing the property. The City will not go into condemnation,
because there is no reason to do that. Mr. Boardman stated they have had
discussions wiCh these people, and it looks like the people will be willing to
sell their properties.
Ms. Svendsen asked about the relocation system.
.,.
Mr. Boardman stated that everybody is eligible for moving paymenCs, either
homeowners or tenants. They are allowed either a fixed payment of $300 plus
a displaced payment of $200, no questions asked; or they are allowed actual
payment costs. There is no ceiling on actual payment costs. The replacement
housing payment has a$15,000 limit. A homeowner is eligible for this cost �
if they are occupied more than 180 days. They musC move within one year, and
they have nn additional 18 months tb make a claim for $15,000. If people who
rent, there is anoCher program, and they don't Set the $15,000. For a home-
owner who has been occupied for y0-180 days, there is down-payvien[ assistance.
HOUSING AND RLDEVEL�PMENT AUTHORZTY MEETING NOVEMBER 8 1979 - PAGE 4
Mr. Boardman stated for people who rent, they have two choices. He can either
take rent times 48 up to $4,000 in addition to the $500 moving cost; or, if a tenant
wants to buy a house, there is a program where the City will write him a check
for $2,000 and another check matching dollar for dollar the amount of money
the tenant wants to make as a downpayment up to a total cost of $4,000. So, „
in effect, he would have $6,000 for a downpayment.
Mr. Boardman stated that in relocation, the City has to find comparable housing
that can't be substandard, it has to meet either local codes or Section 8
housing codes, has to be affordable, and has to be minimum housing.
Mr. Boardman stated that of the two properties the City hoped to purchase, only
one would involve relocation costs.

1. �,,�'IN{TED• DISCUSSION ON POLICY FOR CONVERSZON OF RENTAI. PROPERTY TO
OWNERSHIP PROPERTY:
MY. Oqutst stated he did not lmow exactly what direction the Commission should
take with this. This originally had come down from the Gity Conncil through
the Planning Co�ission, and he wondered what the City Coancil wanted. He
asked Mr. Deblon if the Commission was supposed to reco�end that a city
ordinance be established?
klr. Deblon stated that, yes, he thought the City Council was looking for an
qxdinance to regulate condo conversions. He stated the City of Minneapolis
ltad just passed an ordinance relating to Rousing--"The purpose of this ordinance
is-t:o regulate the conversion of resident3al rental units to condominiums and
ta afford certain rights as to possession and purchase and create certain
expresa and implied warranties." Mr. Deblon stated that most of the original
"clout° had been removed from this ordinance. '
ii�. Vos referred to the August.l4, 1979, Community Development Cou�ission
mfnu:tes where the Covmmission first discussed it. The minutes indicated that
after s request by Mr. Alvia Nitschke to convert a tri-plex into a three-unit
townhouse development, which the Planning Commission approved with stipulations,
_- the City Gouncil tabled this request and sent it back to PLanning Comnission
for further discussion and Co come'up with a policy because of more possible
aituations like Mr. Nitschke's. The Planning Commission had then passed it
on to the Community Development Commission. �

Ms.'Gustafson stated she had an unconfirmed report that the City of Little
Ganada had 3,000 conversions last year.
Mr. Deb2on stated that right now the City Council was looking at aa ordinance
to keep ownership to one cn�ner,'so if there is condo-conversion, an aseociatioa
would be required.
Mr. Vos stated that the Caaanission's ta'sk was really to recommend that Staff
work on an ordinance related to condominiums.`?.
Ms. Modig stated that one thing she would like to be sure of is Chat the person
in the house or apartmeat is,protected as fully'as poasible,
Mr. Oquist stated that if the C�mmission did aecommend that Staff come up with
a draft ordinance, they should give Staff some direetion an what they would
like to see included in t�at ordinance. He stated h2 felt there was no way
they could stop condo-conversions from happening, but there needed ta be an
ordinance to coatrol it somehow.

GOMi*it1NTTY DEVELOBMGNT COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 13 1979 PAGE 3
Mr. Debl:on stated that the Commission members had a copy of the "Anoka County
Airport Master PLan Newsletter", which was the first in a seriea of newsletters
contaiaing information on the progress of the Anoka County Airport Master Plan.
Thie newsletter was prepared by the consultant. Mr: Deblon stated the news-
letter basically explained what MAC was looking ar_ doing to the Anoka County
Aisport. There was also some past history of what had been go�.ng on, the
mfsconceptions, rumors, etc.
Mr. Deblon stated that International Airport wants to get rid of all their
business jets. The airport is overcrowded and they are also trying to reduce
some of the noise. They are looking for a place.to put the business jets,
sud Anoka County Airport is one of the airports that has been chosen.
Mr. Deblon stated that one gentleman at the meeting stated he has been landing
his basiness jet at Anoka County Airport for some time, but that Che airport
is not safe. The upgrading will make it a safer airport.
Mr. Oqutst stated that at one time, he had heard that the National Guard would
be leaving #iolman Field and moving to Anoka County. Was this atill true?
Mr. Deblon stated that the consultant stated there were no plans for the
National Guard to move to Anoka County.
Ms. Modig referred to the April 11, 1978, Community Development Commission
minutes which stated: "Anoka County really did not have to be reclassified
as intermediate because it was already classified as a utility airport. So,
they could really expand without a lot of reclassification...They were talking
about expanding to a DC-3 type of aircraft, but they could land jets out there.
They were talking about 9,000 ft. runways north and south and 4-5,000 east/
west runways. It was primarily to get the load out of International by putting
the transport traf£ic into Anoka County.°
Mr.'Oquist stated he thought the coum�unities that were affected, Coon Rapids,
Blaine, Moundsview, and Fridley, should have a committee or task force from
their planning departments to really watch this thing so ttiey would know where
it is going.
Mr.'Deblon sCated he would be following the progress of the airport anc� would
be attending any future meetings. He would keep the Cammission informed.
Ms. Modig stated.she would like Mr. Deblon to check with the other communities
involved to see what stand they were taking with the airport.

7b change the Texaco sign to Sinclair would be changing the actual sign only
and using the same poles. It would be a waste of time and money not to use
the same structure.
C. ADIdINISTRATIVE STAFF RF.VIEW:
We recommend that the Appeals Commission give serious Lhouqht to either
denial of this request or if approval is recommended, t}i� the allowable
size of these types of signs should be reconsidered. We do not feel that
financi.al costs snould be a consideration for acariance to ihe size of a
sign.

Mr. Moravetz said staff had no further comments.
Mr: Peugh, representing Signcrafter, Inc., came forward. 1Ie explained the sign w w ld
be 5 feet x 32 feet and placed on the existing poles, All other signs such as, 'Fae
give full service" and "Firestone" would be removed. He said the larger sign would
be needed to attract customer� to the gas station. There was no direct exit from
University Auenue to the station and customers have to use the service road.
Mr. Plemel asked if there would be any signs on the building.
Mr. Peugh said no. Sinclair was trying to clean up the looks of the building.
Ma. Gabel qaestioned if there would be a price sign and'it's size.
Mr. Peugh replied yes and the aize would be no larger than 5 feet x 5 feet.
It was asked if any other size sign could be used.
Mr. Peugh said the next sizes are 6 feet x 10 feet or 5 feet x 7 feet. These signs have
been pre-fabricated and if they could not use the size requested a new one would have
to be made. ,

UNANIMOU3LY. PUBLLC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:50 P.M.
Ma. Gabel said the aign ordinance was just re-written and the citizens had decided
the largest sign area they wanted was 80 square feet. This sign was twice that amount.
Mr. Pleme�l felt there were too many aigns on University Avenue in this area already and
doubling the allowed sign size was flagrant of the citizen's desires. He also stated
the apeed limit was only 45 mplx, the station wac ].ocated on the corner, therefore the
size should not make that much dif£erence in attracting clients.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded Uy Mr. Barna to xeaommend to City Council denial of
Variance Request to increase the square footage oE a free standing sign from the . .
maxi�m of 80 square feet to 160 square feet, located at 6071 University Avenue NE.,
because of the following reasons:
1. The size requested was twice the amount allowed by the sign ordinance.
2. Going against the ordinance would be a flagrant disregard of what the
citizens desixed for the co�unity. �
3. Monetary costs should not be consi3ered a hardship.

.
Minnesota Flealth Ik:partment Well Code, Chapter 217, Cl, Ef, requires that
private wells less than 50 feet deep and not penetrating 10 feet of clay
must be 100 feet away from a private sewer system.
APPEALS COMNtISSION MEETING NOVEI�ER 13 1979 PAGE 4
- Public purpose served by this requirement is so the sewage disposal system
will function in a sanitary manner and will not create a nuisance nor
endanger the safety of any domestic water supply.
8. STATEII tiARDSHIP:
This is the only location for the septic system on the lot according to
the soil engineers report.
C. ADMIIdISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Please refer to an attached letter from the Anoka County Comprehensive
Health Department. The stipulations in this letter should be part of
the approval of this request if approved. Also we feel that the well
should be tested before the private sewer systea is installed and each
year thereafter.
It should be noted that the City Council is holding a public hearing on
` tlovember 19, 1979 for the purpose of determining if City water and sewar
will be extended to serve this lot. If approved, the owner will not
need this variance.

UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� VICE-CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Burton Smith, the petitioner, came forward.
Mr. Smith stated he would prefer city sewer and water but the utilitiea were'not available
to his lot yet. He was told when he applied fox the private sewer system that the city
and county would agree with whatever Rice Creek Watershed came up with. After a year
and considerable expense, he did get Rice Creek Watershed approval. A system was de-
signed, but then he was told he would have to also have the county's approval before the
city would agree. He felt it was a round about way for the city to get him to sign up
for sewer and water. He was then told he nseded to at least apply for sewer and water
before he could get his building permit. He did this and Cwo weeks ago he did get his
permit and started construction.
APPEALS COI�LLSSION ME�TING NOVF�IBER 13 1979 PAGE 5
Ms. Qabel,questioned why he was herc i£ .ie had � rcquest in for city sewer and water.
Surely the city would prefer him to have it. ,
Mr. B�rna pointed out, even if approval for the servicea was given, it could be 3 or 4
yeara before it was installed. The variance woul� allow him ntilities until that time.
Ms. Gabel said the city platted the area his lot was in and therefore this lot was
suppose to be buildable. I� the city was not going to put sewer and water in, they
would have to allow this variance. She asked if the other property owner's were aware
of assessment chargea for the service.
Mr. Moravetz said yes. There are 2 lots that could be split and they will also have to
be stubbed in with the services.
Mr. Smith pointed ouE that Darrel Clark said those 2 property could hold off the assess-
ment until the 2 lots were split. He also stated the other 2 property owners desired
to have the services extended to their properties.
Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Smith:if the 2 stipulations on the Anoka County letter would be
aggreable with him.
Mr, Smith replied yes.
Mr. Bama asked why Mr. Smith did not apply sooner for city sewer and water.
He said the previous ownar had told him the costs ar.d required lift station SJDUld
prohibit development of the services.
Mr. Moravetz pointed out that owner had gicen hi� some erroneous information and that
was too bad for Mr. Smith because of the unnecessary expenses incurred.
Mr. Barna pointed out the staff stipulated testing of the sewer system each year and
wanted to know who did the testing and who paid the costs.
Mr. PSoravetz said testing would probably be done by either Anoka County or Fridley's
Environmental Officer. If there were any. costs, the awner would be required to pay,
since itr was for his safety and benefit.
The Appeals Co�ission felt hecause at present Mr. Smith had no alternative but a private
sewer system and Rice Creek Watershed, Anoka County Comprehensive Health and the city
had no objections, the variance should be granted.

the home would be 24 feet x 36 feet, with a wallcout facin$ the street. Each level

needed. There will be 2 bedrooms on tFe main level with the potential of 2 more on
the secondary level. The outside of tne home will be finished with lap siding and
the futuxe garage would allow entrance from either SCh Street or the a11ey. The

Deas Mr. Clark:
Reference is made to our earlier t.elephone discussion concerning the ap-
plication of surton Smith for a variance from the 100 foot on-siCe sewer
system setback from a shallow wel1.
The purpose of the increased separation (100 foot separation}. between an
on-site sewer system and a shallow well is to insure adequate soil treat-
ment and dilution before any constituents of an on-site waste discharge
might reach a shallow well water supply. In the case of the Burton Smith
installation, it appears from information available, that the probable
ground water flow is from the area of the Sievert residence southward
past the Smith property, with discharge to the Rice Creek Valley. This
would mean that the qround water flow in tfie vicinity of this Smith on-
site sewer installation would not be towards the'Sievert well but rather
away from the well towards the point of surface discharge. For Y,his rea-
son, the increased 100 foot separatian may not be necessary.
Should the City consider approving this variance request, but still would
like to provide some assurance to future owners to tfiese properties of
continued safety of the water supply, you may want to consider the follow-
ing conditions o£ variance:
1) The use o� the shallow well serving Y]�e Sievert residence be lim-
ited to an owner occupied single family residence.
2j That the nature of the variance and the conditions of the variance
be recorded to title of both properties.
If 2 may be of any service to you, please feel free to ca11 me.

Cheryl Street N.E.
ey City Code, Section 205.157, D, to allow the construction
addition to an existing house in CRP-2 (flood plain), lo-
and 7, Block W, Riverview Heighta, the same being 615
Mr. Boardman said this addition was in the flood plain area and the proposal was for
living area above the garage. A garage was conaidered an accessory building. He
checked with tha state to see if the flood plain affects accessory buildings. The
atate replied because there was no living area in an accessory building and the
damage done on accessory buildings was limited, they are exempt from setback and fill
requirements that are normally imposed in the flood plain district. However, a special
use permit will be required becauae they are building in the flood plmi.n. He said
after ataff reviewal, they felt flood plain criteria was being met and the application
should be approved.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVEI�ER 28 1979 PAGE 2
Mr. Harris asked if electrical or water services needed special consideration
because of the CRP-2 zoning.
Mr. Boardman replied because this was an accessory building and exempt in the
flood plain, therefore no apecial regulations were required. He said the addition
was on an existing home and would have to comply with the total flood plain disxtict.
Mr. Richard Carlson, 615 Cheryl Street NE, was present for the request. He said all
the electrical outlets would be located approximately 2 feet above the flood plain
high water level, Mr. Carlson pointed out there will be a 55 gallon drum located in
the garage floor for any water xunoff, such as snow melting.
Mr. Harris asked to have the 2 foot Level for electrical outlets stipulated in the
motion if approved.
Ms. Hughes questioned what the addition would be used for and if there would be
bathroom facilities.
Mr. Carlson replied there will be 2 bedrooms, a small recreation room and a bath.
The bathroom facilities will be located on the plum wall of the e�cisting structure
so no new water lines will have to be installed.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman why he checked with the state on this application.
Mr. Boardman replied he checked because of the way our cpde read, .., structures
for habitation constructed on fill shall be constructed so that the basement floor
ox first floor, if there is no basement, is abwe the regulation flood level ...
The queation came up, was a garage with structure above for habitation really a
habitation structure or an accessory building. He asked the State what their intent
was on acceasory buildings because the way the city code was written, staff could
have taken it either way. The state said if the living area above an accessory use
was out or above the potential area for damage, it should be considered an accessory
use.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels to close the public hearing.

Lot 10, Block 1, Paco Indastrial Park (7150 Co�erce Circle West) and add_it to
Lot 9, Block 1, Paco Industrial Park (200 Co�erce Circle South) because of
building encroachment.
Mr. Boardman said this was a surveyor error, The 2 lots are owned by Mr. Paschke
and the building was located on Lot 9 with a 1 foot encroachment on Lot 10.
PLANNING COP@ffSSION MEBTING. NOVEI�ffiER 28, 1979 PAGE 3
Mr. Boardman explained that Mr. Paschke would lfke to get the building placement
squared up with the lot Lines for future possible ownership by 2 parties. The city
has no problems with this lot split request. Mr. Boardman also stated there was a
20 foot error on the south lot line. Mr. Paschke, Suburban Engineering and the city
were trying to work out a solutian for that problem. Mr. Paschke thought he bought
more land then he really did and has already done some heavy landscaping in the
area in question. It was belived that the drainage ditch was located on Paschke's
land but was really on park property.

3. RECEIVE HUMAIV RESOURCES COP4fI5SI0N MINUTES; NOVE!ffiER 1, 1979
MOTION by Mr, Treuenfels, seconded by Ms. Hughes to receive the Human Resources
Cotmmission minutes of November 1, 1979.
UPON A VOIC& VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CFIAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Hughes asked Mr. Treuenfels if his coumission had any sub-co�ittees, besides the
Eine Ar�s of Fridley Committee.
Mr. Treuenfels replied no and said he believed even the Fine Arts Committee had
e7cpired.
Ms. Hughea said she could see the IdCKK (Koping with Kids from Kradle to Kindergarten)
pxogram becoming a city program and wondered where that program should be housed.
Whether it was something to be handled under ktuman Resources or Parks and Recreation
and her co�ission.
Mr. Treuenfels said presently the KRKK was under Community Education and received
housing, utilitiea and janitorial expenses from them. The Human Resources had
apprwed a matching grant of up to $1500 £or KKKK,
Mr. Boardman pointed out the Planning Co�nission had deleted any funds for KKKK at
their last meeting and Hu�aan Resources were naa rec�ending a matching grant of
$1500.
Ma. Hughes asked if the $3100 asked for by RHIHaC was their total budget besides what
they receive from Co�unity Education.
Mr. Treuenfels eaid yes.
Ms. Hughes commented that this looked like it would be a city program because of lack
of school funding. She queationed if it was appropriete to be tunding completely snch
an organization sinee there has been no proof of n�ed by the community. She did not
apprwe of the school shifting the responsibility of funding and if it was funded by
the city, which department will supervise it. She telt funding should be availabel
at least for the Eirst year.
Mr. Harria said he partially agreed with Ms. Hughes, fn that there could be some
co�nity need for the program, but could not see it as a city program. One problem
EiANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVSFIBER 28 1974 PAGE 4
he could see with the school district funding was because there was more than 1
school district involved and it would be unfair to run a city�caide program �aicn
only 1 district funding it, He feYt there should be a coordinating body so that
all the districts could participate in a city program.
Mr. TreuenEels said the KKKK intent was not entirely a recreation program, but it was
not wholly educational either.
Mr. Boardman said the queation was not who should run or support the program, but
was it a corpoxation similar to SACA or Sr. Citizen's Outreach that was requesting
funds for operation. We have to decide if this was a Legitimate organization and if
it was providing services to the City of Fridley's residents and therefore eligible
for funding by the city. We should question, should the city be putting money into
this organization not who will operate it.
Mr. Treuenfels said he liked that approach. This organization was simi2ar to SACA
because they both receive housing and outside funding and provide some socisl service
to the residents.
Ma, Hughes said she has to agree with that, however K1�Z was getting their major
source of funding from the city. She also pointed out the recreation program does
support groups that are not entirely recreation, but also educational and into the
cu2ture areas. If KKKK was to be in the recreational�ea, do they have some type
of review system similar to other programs that are under recreation funding (i:e.
hackey).
Mr. Harris said it seems KI�R was a social sexvice and do we have someone to handle
social services and should the �iry be getting into that area.
Mr. Boardman pointed out SACA was also a social service that was providing a needed
service to Fridley residents and we fund them, These agencies have to have places
to go in order to get their funding, and the city was one of the sources. We have
to decide if we feel these services are valid and do we want to use ta�cpayer's
money to help fund them. The city does have some responsibility to help prwide
social servicea for the residents.
Mr. Harris thought the KI�CK program should be under Human Resources.
Ms. Hughes asked if there was staff personnel to supervise this program.
Mr. Boardman replied a new person had been hired and she would be introduced later
in the evening. He explained she would be handling this type of work.
Mr. Harris felt Human Resources should be riding herd on the agencies. that receive
funds from the city.
Mr. Boardman stated not necessarily riding herd, but the Human Resource Commission
will be setting the criteria when requests for funds come in. They will be able to
decide who get the funds and how much they receive.
Mr. Harris asked if it was in the relm of the city's responsibility to keep track of
how the funds were spent within each tiscal year. He felt an annual report by the
agencies should be brought in each year.
PT,,ANNING COMMISSION MEBTING, NOVF.t�ER 28, 1979 PAGE 5
Mr. Boardman replied he agreed an annual report should be submitted, e7cpecially if
they ask for funding each year. We may not agree with how the money was spent, but
at least we would know what happened to it.
Mr. Treuenfels said there were 2 points of consideration. One, do the agencies give
an account for the money received each year? The general consensus was that they
should, Second, if they come back for more funding, should we use their past records
of spenditures to determine new funding? T[ie Co�ission said definetly that should
be part of the criteria when deciding on the fund requests.
Ms. Schnabel felt staff personnel should go to each agency to familiarize themselves
with that agency.
Mx. Boardman replied that would take a lot of time and he does not have the staff
to do that.
Ms. Schnabel said she would be very disappointed in Mr. Boardman and his staff if it
was not at least reco�ended to staff to use sane sort of follow up on the agencies.
Mr. Boardman said it was a good idea and would try to have his department follow
up on the agenciea that receive funds.
Ms. Aughes suggeated members from Human Resources and Planning Co�nission could also
do some sort of follow up on the agencies, She questioned if KI�CK was supporting them-
selves enough by charging only $10 per family per year ($700 yearly approximately
for membership fees).
Mr. Oquist said the one thing that bothered him about supporting I�ICK was that the
$1500 would only Ue reaching 70 families, while the $1000 alloted to SACA would be
reaching many, many moxe people. The percentage of people helped per dollar seemed
very low for I�CIZ,
Mr. Treuenfels said percentage of use was one of the criterias he suggested to be
used by Human Resources.
Ms. Schnabel asked if other agencies, such as churches, provided a similar program
to KI�K,
Mr. Treuenfels said there use to be one church in Fridley that had the same service.
Mr. Harris said years ago many of our social services were handled by the churches.
Idow, it seems, it was not one of the main concerns of the churches. He felt there
should be a central co�ittee that would coordinate these types of services between
Che churches, schools and city so theae was no overlap of services.
Ms, Schnabel said some peoply may not want the church overtones i£ a social service was
handled by the church alone. There£ore, a centxal coum�ittee may be needed to coordinate
such services.
Ms. Hughea said she felt the KKKK program, because it came out of community schooling,
has not looked for other ways to fund themselvea. Other groups do and KKRR should
6e able to do the same. She liked the idea of KHIIIC raising matching funds in order
to receive funds from the city.

MOTION by Ms. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels to concur: wfth Human Reaourcea
Co�isaion m reconm�end to City Council that the City fund up to $1500 to KI�,
contingent upon IQC1� obtaining matching funds from another source.
Ms. Schnabel said she was opposed to the motion for 2 reasons, One, the other
agencies only received $1000 and felt K1� should not get 50% more in funds. 7.tuo,
the lop percentage of families reached by KI�K as compared to other social services
did not seem to warrant as much funding.
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded hy Mr. Hora to amend the orginal motion by Ms,
Hughes to reduce the funds for IaCKK from $1500 to $1000.
UPON A VOICS VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION C ARRISD
UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Oquist pointed out Human Resouxces did not have a time limit on haw long HIC[QZ
had to raise their $1500, He wanted a start and stop time stipulated on the motion.
Ms. Schnabel said the Planning Conanission nn page 13 of their last meeting, stated
the cutoff date would be July 1, 1980.
Mr. Boaxdman said the time period should be for KKIaC's fiscal operating year or else
when Council apprwes the funding, the time period wauld start then and end July
1, 1980.
Mr. Harris asked if the membership fee was to be used towards the $1500 I�KR was re-
quired to raise. Ae felt the matching funds should be e�cclusive of inembership fees.
Mr. Hora queationed his reasoning.
Mr. Oquist stated it would be to KKKK's advantage to raise the additional $1500
because it could give them a possible $3700 to work with and not just $3000.
Ms. Hughes stated they are not treating KKKK's request any different by requir3ng
matching funds then the requests by SACA or Sr. Citizen's Outreach. Those agencies
had ahown they have other sources of funding available to them and have used them.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels to amend the original motion by
Ms. Hughes to include a start time for IQZI� to raise matching funds to be in effect
when Council apprwed the $1000 matching fund and to stop on July 1, 1980. The
matching funds raised by I�QZ[L will be exclusinve of the membership fees.

Mr. Harris asked for a vote on the original motion, which now includes a start and

5. RECEIVE COMMUAIITY DEf/ELOPMENT COiA1ISSI0N MINUTES: NOVE[�ER 13, 1979:
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Ms. Schnabel to receive the Community Development
minutes of November 13, 1979.
Mr. Oquist pointed out the convexsation and motion on rental cotrversion property.
He stated they have made a recocmnendation that an ordinance be drawn up to handle
this situation, and gave a list of some things that should be in or handled by
that ordinance.
Mr. Boardman said Mr. Herrick was presently looking at the ordinance that was adopted
by Minneapolis. Council was looking at the idea of controlling the rental property
conversion through zoning on the basis that the city issues a permit to an apaxtment
complex on the condition that there be one owner per apartment and not a multi-owner
situation. Therefore not allowing the condominium concept of multi-ownerships. This
would allow a co-operative ownership of the apartments.
Mr. Harris,safd haz� ling._it through zoning did not seem feasible to him. Zoning
was set up to control density and the density would not be changing if the units
were rented or individually owned.
Mr. Boardman was not sure how that concept would work either and that way one of
the reasons for Mr. Herrick looking at the ordinance. The other way of cantrolling
would be through special use permits and he felt that was stretching the boundaries
of a special use permit.
Mr. Oquist said it was inevitable that we would have comrersions someday and felt safe-
guards for the renters and buyers should be drawn up now.
Mr. Harris felt an additional stfpulation to Coumunity Development's motion should be
ihe requirement that any building must be brought up to code before converted.
Ms. Schnabel said an ordinance should also be fair to the present owner. If the
owner desires to aell, finding a single buyer may be difficult in today's market. If
a buyer was found, they many have to increase rent to cover the high interst rates
and repairs required for a sa1e. That could eventually mean losing renters because
of high rent costs. Therefore, the only way to get the owner's money out of the
building would be to convert it. An ordinance should not be written to penalize the
owner.
Mr. Oquist said their reco�nendations were meant to be fair to the present people in
the building and the buyer.
PLANNING COMhfI5SI0N MEETING NOVEMBER 28 1979 P� $
Ms. Schnabel said she had heard that some cities may require that at least 51�; of
the building must be sold in a certain limit before it was allowed to be converted.
She was not sure if it was a city requirement of 51% or an agreement between the
owaer and buyer. She felt this could possibly be part of the ordinance.
Mr. Boardman did not think it would be wise for the city to put a time limit-in the
ordinance. He felt that area should be covered in the purchase agreement,
Mr. Harris said the intent of the ordinance should be to ensure the health, safety
and general welfare of the occupants of the building. ihat was the city's main
responsibility.
Ms. Hughes said we should not trv to stop the convereion of rental properties, but,
we should make sure there wi11 Be rental property available for tfie-displaced persons__
from a conversion building. — — — - -
Mr. Boardman said the city has to help in that area. It was a metropolitan problem
and each city has to do something to help solve the problem.
Mr. Harris stated this was an area that could be coordinated by the Metro Council.
Mr. Boardman replied they do have a housing opportunity plan and all cities must comply
with that plan. He said the City Council does want to control the sale of condos, but
was not sure legally if they could do so because it was private property. He was
waiting for Mr. Herrick's opinion on that.
Mr. Oquist asked if Planning Commission wished to do anything with Co�unity Develop-
ment's reco�endation besides adding the following stipulations to their inconclusive
list:
1. Building must he brought up to code before convertede
2. Check into the feasibility of building presale of not less then
S1% before conversion.
The coimnission felt Mr. Herrick's opinion should be laoked at first before they
take any action.

Mr. Boardman introduced Mary Cayan as the new Human Services Assistant to the

Mr, Harris said he went to the Council meeting to find out about the so called

Council they knew nothing about the fee and when he approached Mr. Qureshi there

Mr, Oquist asked what happened to the money that had been collected for this non-

Mr, Harris said if any fees were collected they shonld be put into the Park's Capital

Ms. Hughes said as faraas the Park Com�ission knew, the funds for capital improvements
are general fund allocations. It was a standard set fee and has no reflection of how
�ch money was collected by the city for park fees. They could could have collected
from $500 to $5000 and the conmission wnuld still receive the same amount of money.
There has been no accounting of the fees collected.
Mx. Oquist said if there was any money collected for the Envirompental Development
Fee, and since it was collected under false pretense, it should be returned to the
property owner or to the person that paid the fee.
