MOTION by A1r. Oquist, seconded by Ms. Gabel, to open the puUlic hearing on SY �k80-02 Uy the Anoka County Task Force for Battered Womr-_n. Upon a voice vote, aI1 voting aye, Chairman Hrirris declared the pubZic hearing open at 7:4.0 p.m. T1r. T3o:irdman stated that this request cot�es before the Planning Commission under a special use pennit. Under State Law, a11. cities must alloca group homes wiChin residential areas if they meet certain requiremer.ts. One of these req�irements is thaC there be no more than six unrelated adults or persons within t:lz�it unit over and above the stafi. As he understood it, the program will alloo� for living space Eor six women and their children. Beeavse of this situati.or., that would not fall within the state requiremen.ts of havin� si�; unrelated persons aizd requires a special use permit. He stated the Cit}� of Fridley has no proble�s �aith this request. P1s. Carol Erickson, 9i50 Bluebird St., Ceon Rapids, sxated she was the Chair- person oi the Task Force for Batterecl Wom�n. She stated the Anoka Coiinty Task Force for Batteren Wce��n is a nen-pi'orit organizatian a��i� lias beea for the past three S�ears. The gcneral mei;�bership votes annually on a Board of' Directoss. The Board consi.sts of 1ay people from the community. T'.ie Board of t)irccY_ors appoints peop;.c: to their Anvisory Board. The A.dvisozy Board represents people from various service sysSens in Che commurii.ty, They Jiave a commissioner, a policeman, a chaplain, a counselor, and a doctor to givc advice to the Board as far as ho�o services are to be provided. Since the be�inning thrce years ago, the}� have had Cwo main goalsc 1. To make tite puUlic and people in he7.pit,g proiessions aware that �aomen in our. commiiriity and �Anoka CounCy are ?iviag in fear and physicaily abased on a daily basis. 'Lhe Taslc Force wanted pcople to beg:in to Ue sensitive to this issue and to begin to seek alter- natives for C]Ze batteLed o�oman, 2. To provide a shelT.er which is one of the best immediate alternatives for the battere6 woman. Through the data they have coilect'ed, they have fo!tnd Chcre are raore than 15 women a month in Anoka County who need a place to sLay. A shelter provicles them with tremporary relief frem physical abuse, it provides them freedom from the fear of bcing abuse.d, so they have time to lhink about wliaL- they want to do for themsel.ves and their children. The shelter has Ueen tlie ultimate goal. Dis. Ericicson stzted that last spring, the rlinnesota Shate LegislaL-ure allocated money for tcao addiL-ioixal shelters in Region 11. They applicd for one of those grants and received i.t. Tl�e moitcy is to be usecl for a facility plus hiring PLl�it�lING CONL^4LSSZOIQ PIEETING P�._,___ �P.CH 19, 1980 PAGE 3 staff. The staff has now Ucen hire3. Thc staf.f will be at the shelter 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week, The staff consists of people who have had experience in working in other shelters, �aho huve worked in the liuman service area, and are women �aho have been abused. P1s. Ericicson sl-ated Lhey have worked long and hard to find a facility that would meet their needs. The f.acility they found in Pridley meets those needs, and they are here to ask for the special use permit in order to use that facili.ty. Ms. Erickson stated before answering any questions, she would like to show a seven-minute slide presentation. it is the story of a woman who caas in a shelter and tells aUout her experi.ence. Ms. Erickson staL-ed it �aould give the Plaruiing Commission members a ieel of whaC actually h:ippens in a shelter. Ms. �rickson stated Chat �,hen they submitte3 the grant, they received more than 20 lettcrs of suppart from varicus People in Ano?ca County--the differenC poli.ce departmcnes, sheriff's depaxtment, county ca:mnissioners, councils, hospii.als, ancI doctors--a11 supportinb �aha'r. they were doing and the fact Chat a shelter was needed in Anoka County. Ms. Gabel stated the building pronosed for the shelter was a large facility. tIow many chi_ldren did the}� Lhink th2y could I:ouse in ad3ition lo tLe six women? Ms. Eric:son i_ntroduced Pis. Jean Ramoow, o,ae of their s*_aif inemUers. Ms, RamUow, 408 - lst St. N.�., Osseo, stai:ed that they have some Uasic statistics as to the o7omeii in their organiza�i_on they have ororked wil-h over the last 20 months. Out oi the 132 wan°n tliey worked with (a?1 from Anoka County) , 66% have 1-2 children, 2�% liave 1 cl�i7.d, 38% have 2 chiidren, 20'/ have 3 children, 3% have 4 children, 4% have 5:.hildren, ai.d 2`/, iiave 6 children. This would give the Planning Con;mi.ssion memUers an�idea of how many ctiildren the wemen had and how many each moman would have at tiie shelter. Ms. Gabel asked how many fu21-time >taff people would Ue at L-he shelter 24 hrs. a day? his. RamUow stated they have 11 staif people, 9 are full-tim� and 3 are part.:- time, Depending upon the tir,ie oi day, they will try to have at least two adwcatea on duty during the day, 8:00 a,m. - 4:00 p.m. The reason for. t�ao advocaL-es during the day is that often one of the advocates 171s to provide transportation for the women. ihere �aould otten be L-he occasion when there would be three staff people cPuring the day, ii the child advocate is there at the same time. They have on� full-time physician woricin� entirely with the chiidren, and another half-titt�e physician who wi11 be providing structured programs for the children. Ms. Ericicson stated this would also be supplemented with volunteer help. Ms. Gabe1 asked if there was a maximum amount of time a woman could spend in shelter. PLANNIt�G CO�iMISSION r1L'�TING. 1•�1RCIi 19, 19II0 PACB 5 with the pr.oblem and how to handle the proUlem and also so there is a good relationship between the police deyartments and the shelter itself. He stated they are in desperate need of this lci.nd of inciliry. It is really a problem in Anok1 County and it is ��ery frL�sL-rating for tl�e poli.ce to deal with this issve, particu].arly when there is no place to take the women and children when tliere is a proUlem. The existing shelters �re few and too far away. Ms. Hughes asked how many ca11s was typical Lor a shelter to make to a police department for help. Mr. Janacelc stated that he tried to check a si�elter L-hat appeared to be in the same type of an area as the one in Frid?.ey, and that �aas the I2obc�rt Lewis Iiouse in Burnsville. This shelter has Ueen orerated since Augtist 1979 and, since then, they have called the poli.ce twice and an arrest caas not made with eiL'her call. In facC, one call o�as a mist:alce. In P,un.sville, the shelter's address is listed oa thc Urochure. Qne of the advantages to keeping the shelter in Fri_dley a partiai secre*_ is that the man who is doing this kind of violence is not likely to have access to tlie information. Hc state.d they are no*_ goi.ng to have the shelte:'s addr.ess p;:inted anywhere, and dispatchers will not give the address over tne r:�dio. He predicted tliat Fridle}> wculd get fewer ca11s than Burn>vilJ.e. P1s. Gaoe1 asiced if ti,is shelter taoul3 service only A:ZCka Ccunty women? M�. Fricicson sLaLed the}� erould gi.ve prioritg io Anoka County women, Uut just as othcr shelcers have servzd �ao:,:^;.� from Anoica CoLmty, they �aculd also serve women iiom oCher axeas. Ms. Eric,tson stated that besides the �heltez iii Burnsville, Lhere is one in Ramsey County and toro in herulepin Ccunty. Ms. Gabel. stated t:hat' fro:� the slicie presenL-ation, she undcrstoed ttiati most of the �,�omen do nol tiave transpor�ation. If a woman did have a car, would eh� be allowed to keep i.0 out ot si�l�t. in the lar�e garage located on the property? Pis. Rambow stated that it wouid not Ue possible. One of the esciting thin�s aUout this Lacility was L-hat the garage is carpeted and insulated and wi_11 bc used as an area for the children to play. This is unheard oL for this kind oP facility. She stated she had t�lk.ed Lo the di�ector of the llay F,ctivity Center (DAC) and caas infon�:ed that �ohen the DAC is in session, they have approximately 10-11 cars there at Che same time. The shelter wi11 never have that many cars parked fhere_aC aity given time. Very few �aomen she ha.^, worked cailh in Anoka County have i�ad transyorLation so that will not be a proUl.em. p4s. Erickson stated ii a woman did l:ave a car, she would caant Co hide it so��wl�erc else. Ms. Gabel asked who took care of tUe r.iainteriance of the building. Ms. Ericl:son stated that is Ueing negotiated with the County right now. PLANNING CO�MISSTON r4?�TIN_^,t MA12CH 19, 1980 PAGE 6 Ms. CaUel asked where the funding would come frrnn after the 18 monl-hs. Ms. Tirickson sl'ated tlic T3o3rci memUers are worki.ng on a proposal to be submitted to foundati_ons throu�;l�out Cl.ie sl'ate and bcyond aslcing for money, as they knoo� they cai11 r�eed thae to continue to support the program. Other shelters use the StaCe funding as a base and ihen they are a21 supplemenL'ed by foundativns. Mr. Treuenfels asked what kind of services are provided at the shelter. Ms. Rambow stated they help in getting legal assistance for a woman, help her get assistance irom the [delfare Department if sl:e needs it, they help her estaUlish a home on her own if that is what she decides. The primary thing is�providiri� a place for the woman and. her children to li.ve--providing food, clothing, everyLhing they aeed — a safe environment for them to.live to talce time to Lhink about what has happened and what she wants to do. Mr. Treuenfels stated that if a woman decides to return to her home, do they do any type of counseling? Ms. P.au�bow stated r.hey do not- prcvide couiiselin.g within the shelter. It is not the advocate's role to provide counseling, The provide a net:work of counseliag services a=aailalile in the commuuity and the countg. An advocate is, more or. less, there to offer support and act as a resource person. An advoc�.te does not in any way influence the woman, but supports her in any decision she makes. PSr. Treuenfels asked about the group sessions held at t}ie shelter. Ms. RamUo�a stated c.�her. they refer to group sessions, they are talking about support gr.oups, where the womcn get together, talk about their experiences and offer support to each ot:hcr. Ms. RamUow stated they felt the supPort groups are very important and it is something they wi11 try to stress. They also hope that �ahen the women leave the shelter, they will want to continue to help i�y doing volunteer help and helping other women. Ms. Gabel asked if tiiey find that the children oi the abnsed women are usual�y abused also? Ms. Itathy Picotte, 13`_49 Poppyseed Court, New Brighton, stated she works ior Aennepin County in Do;nestic 6.buse, and she sees about 20 coomen a�aeek who come te the County to oet an order f-or pro`ectio�:. A11 of the children experience abuse, if not physical abuse, then emotional aUuse. They are almost a11 emol-ionally abused because they see someone they love being beaten up, Mr. Harris asked whaC was the maximum number of people the shelter would have at one time? � Ms. Rambocv state.d she would estimate 20-22 people, including staff. Mr. Ilarris aslced wliat special Chi.ngs would be done to the facility as f.ar as security. PLANNING COi�N1ISSI0N M[:liTING' M/'.RCH 19, 1950 _ PAG� 7 Mr. Janacek stated that two ps!nic. buttons would Ue installed inside the facility. These buttons w�uld be placed high enough so children could not reach them. When a Uutton is l�it, it turns on a series of exterior floodlights and activates a tape diali.xig system which ie hooked up to central communications in Anoka County, stal-ing therc is an unknocan emergency at tlie she1L-er in Fridley. The Fridley police would respond L-o that call. He stated he did not think il- would ever be necessary because of the physical make-up of the building. He stated they have discussed mesh screcns on the coindows but do not feel that is going to be a probletn. If it e»er becomes a proUlem, there are many alternatives, one would be replacing the glass on the first floor with Lexan, which is difficult to break. No securil-y fencing is planned at this time. Mr. Harris aslced if t}iey foresav any impact on Che surrounding residents from this particular type of operation? Mr. Janacek stated that the only impact �aould be the fact that the shelter will be open 24 hours a day and the building �ail.l Ue lighted 24 hours a day. The security lighCS will Ue used only in the event of an emer;ency. Mr. Zangenfeld asked if there c:as going to be any extensi.ve interior remodeling? Ms. Rambow stated that extensive remodeling was not necessary. One u�all was go?.,ig to be added on *_he locaer >tory. Other than that, the County wi11 be adding bathino facilities because there are no overnight facilities at this time. Mr. Langenfeld asked if there caas any plans for expansion of the facility? llid they foresee a need for expansion? Ms. Erickson stated there probably would be the need, but fuuding lYas Ueen very hard to get. She was sure thaC as time went on,the counties north of Anoka County coi11 have shelters. At this time, their plans are only to keep this shelter open and operating. Mr. Aarris asked iL there coas eizough physical facilities within the structure to handle 20-22 people? Ms. Ericicson stated that, yes, there was. Ms. Hughes asked how ttrey chose the number of six persons. Was that number chosen because that is what the facility will hold or was that number based on need? Would it be possible to e�;pand that number to seven, eight, etc.? Ms, Erickson stated it was based on both--Che need always being greater than what the facilities provide for. The greatest problem was finding a shelter that caas Uig enougli. Ms. Fambow stated the numher "six" was arrived at by considering Che area and the number of children they could realistically expect. She stated they will Ue subject to healtii inspection �nd will be told exactly haa many they PLANNING COMNISSION MRETTNG. MAliCH 19. 19 0 can house in a given amount of square foota�e, so they wi17. be restricted Uy that. So, they did not intend to set the number at six and then increase that number tater on. Mr. Harris stated he was concerned aUout the general health, safety, and cae].fare of putting 22 people in a facility. Was there cnough room for the bathtng facil.i_ties that would be instal7.ed and how many bathrooms are there now? Ms. RamLow stated there are four bathrooms--two on each fl-oor, and there is rooui for [he Uathing facilities to be insta7.led. MOTION by T4r.

PLANNING COMMISSION MF.ETING, Ml+P.CIl 19, 1980 _ PAGL' 9 Mr. Treuenfels staL-ed he could net support tl2is request because of its discrimination against the male poptilation. Tt seemed to be in dire, flagrant opposition to the ordinance which created the Human Resources Commission. He would Ue in favor of it if it was a shelte: for battered persons. Ms, liughes stated she did not feel tlie ordinance �aas that direct in iCs prohibitionc_ and that you can i.ndeed provide facilities for groups that have to be segregated for very good reasens. She agreed with P1r. Treuenfels that it ought to be battnred people, Uut thcre are some priori.ties that have to be set and some reasons why battered �aonen have to Ue chosen first. Ms. GaUel stated she did not see it as discrimination, bnC rather as providing a need. Mr. Harris stat-ed thaY he� and 24r. Treuenfcis have been studying Che social service 3eli.very s}�stem in Anoka County. They had au inCeresting d'iscussion with Don idegscheider of the ;�Torth Suburban PediaL-ric Clinic in Coon Rapids aUout this very problem. P1r.

Execut3ve D3rector's Report Mr. Boardman stated that they met with Mark Haggerty of Joint Venture Developers last Friday. JVD has hired a consultant to do some of the marketing research, and they will be coming up with a decision around July 1. At that time, the City will be looking at all the financial.details, and by the HRA's first meeting in July, the Authority will make the decision whether it is "go" or "no go" with JVD, So, they are looking at Ju1y 1 as the date for going through the first phase of working with the developer. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AVTHORITY MEETING MARCH 13 1980 - PAGE 2 B. Receive Letter from erest lmon and Ms. Svendsen stated she would prefer to hold off receiving this letter and discussing it until Mr. Coumers was present. Mr. Boardman stated he would prefer that also as he would like the City Attorney to l.00k at the letter. MOTION by Ms. Svendsen, seconded by Mr. Prieditis, to defer the receipt of letter from Smith, Juster, Feikema, Malmon and Haskuitz until the next meeting. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Vice-Chairperson Houck declared the motion carried unanimously. C. Receive Letter from Jerry Remmen of IMI Re: Development Interest Mr. Boardman stated that at the direction of the HRA, he and Mr. Doyscher met with Jerry Aemmen and David Russ of IMI to discuss any potential development by IMI. Mr. $oardman stated this was primarily discussion, because they fe7.t, and it was brought up at the meeting, that in order to start talking business, IMI would first have to contact the owners o£ the Holly Center and the other property across University Ave, to see what commitments can be made with them. Until then, the City will be looking only at Phase I, and the City prohably would not go ahead with Phase III until they had Phase I going. So, IMI will be working with Fred Levy, the owner of Holly Shopping Center, to see what arrangements can be made. Mr. Boardman stated he had asked IMI to submit a letYer stating that they were still interested in the development. This Letter was in response to that request. INII has been informed that the City will be happy to work with them as much as they can; however, they do have restrictions. He did not think the HRA was in any position to go in with condemnation on Phase III, and that is why it is so critical for IMI to start negotiations on that property. MOTION by Ms. Svendsen, seconded by Mr. Prieditis, to receive the letter dated Mar. 3, 1980, from Mr. A. J. Remmen, President of IMI. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye., Vice-Chairperson Houck declared the mation carried unanimously. 2. LARGE FAMILY HOUSING PROGRAM: Mr, Boardman stated they have purchased the Parlin property at 6025 - 3rd St. N.E. The closing on that property was last Thursday, and the City has issued a$15,000 relocation check to the Parlin's at the closing of the Parlin's house in Blaine. Mr. Boardman stated that on Wednesday, they closed on the Johnson property at 5832 University Ave. N.E. On that property, there is a �� HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING MARCH 13 1980 - PAGE 3 garage that seems to be a fairly substantial structure. The City is looking at either selling the garage by bid and bringing the money into the project or donating or selling the garage to the City Parks & Recreation Department. He has talked a litCle abaut it with Mr. Boudreau, Parks & Recreation Director, and they would probably use it for a warming house or something like that. Mr. Boardman stated he would report what they decide they want to do with the garage at the next meeting. (Mr. Commers arrived at the meeting at 8:00 p.m. and took over the chair.) 3. OTHER BUSINESS; Mr. Boardman stated the Authority members had a copy of the Check Register. He stated this was the form of check register the Authority will be receiving for all HRA checks. He stated that right now, the Authority has $10,000 in its account. Checks have been made out to Anoka County for ta�ces and to the City of Fridley for the first half of the special assess- ments�totalling $3,045.17. When the check register comes before the Authority, the Authority will be asked to approve the issuance of those checks. At this time, he was asking the AuChority to approve this Check Register. MOTION by Mr. Aouck, seconded by Mr. Prieditis, to approve the disburse- ments listed on the Check Register. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Gommers declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Boardman stated he would have Mr. Brunsell come to the next meeting to explain this better. Ms. Svendsen asked how often Mr. ➢oyscher would be attending the HRA meetings. Mr. Boardman stated he would bring a copy of Mr. Doyscher's contract to the next meeting for Che Authority members Co look at. He stated they were looking at paying Mr. Doyscher $35/hr. up to $6,�00 for a year's worth of service, so it would depend upon how much they caanted to use Mr. Doyscher's services. They won't use him unless they need him for consulting services. Later on when they get into negotiations with the developers, it will be beneficial to have Mr. Doyscher at the meetings and participating in the discussions. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION by Mr. Houck, seconded by Ms. Svendsen, to adjourn the meeting.

Ma. Sporre stated that nort�aliy uiunicipalities are nat notified when the cettificate of need is est�isiished. She asked Mr. Dehlon if he ww2d requeat that the City ot Fridley be notified. Mr. Deblon stated he would. Mr. Langenfe2d stated tha£ when T�SP chooses the sites and alternate sites, then the Commission should be coacerned. Ms. Metcalf stated she feit the time was now to oppose it or say they were for it.: It was just like the 4noka County A�irport, if they opposed a power plant in Fridley, they should say so nuw. ' Mr. Langernfeld stated that if the Commission wished to discuss the information, they were'€ree to do so. , Mr. Peteraon stated he knew the Goum�iasion me¢:bers were all concerned, and he felt it would be a wise idea for the Coummission to be put on the mailing list to receive future newsletr�ers en the pro,�ect.

It was an excellent search for puulic input. 3. CON'EINUED: ANO[Clt COUNTY AIRPbRT Mr. Deblon stated there has been two Task Force meetings since �he last Co�ission meeting. He steCed there was also a meeting scheduled for Friday, March 22, at 7:00 p.n. at 3t. Tisothy's Catholic Church in Blaine. The guest speaker at that meeting will be:A1 Perez from the Noise Sectian of the MPCA. Mr. Deblon stated he att�ndzd the Task Force meeting on February 21 and would give a summary of that mpet:ing. Mr. Dehlon stated that t1�e Task Force had already eliminated #ive o£ the ten alternatives. The aZteriiatives:remaining under the Minor Role are: "Parallel N-S runways north oY. the,;existing runway," and "Para11e1 E-W runways, crosswind runway north of existing xunway". The alternatives xemaining under the .. �,_ _,,�, � - ��(1�NNCAL QUALii'Y Q9I�S�ION M�ETTNG -MASCk2 1� 198Q PAGE 3 jl � fnt�rmediate Role are; "Fa�a31e1 N-5 runways nartti a€ existing runway,"" aAd '�a�,��i�el NG1=SE r�nwaYs". Aetua�„ly, the last alternative, !'Parallel NW=SE ' r�it##3a3ts" was a prnblem in inclement meather conditions becauae of the Shoreview Tocaers -and wes'therefore noC a feasible altnerative. �,`Aehton stated%that the alternative under xhe M3nor Role, "Existing Configura- t#oti;' was eliminated because TRA claimed they were not hired to Iook at that. TRA clafined xhey were hired to perform this planning design for either a minor xa2e ar an intermediate role. Mr. Deblon stated the Task Force had a ve=y � legitiaiate complaint in stating thep wanted tq laiuc� about the existi:ng configura- tion, sucR as noise levels, existing flights,;etc., so they could compare it to � the other alternatives. � Mr, Deblan stated the TRA is having some probl�s proceeding with their p^��eentat3on. In the past, they ha�e been hired with Che task force already eStablished. This time they had to set up the task #oxce. TRA stated they hed three rQles: (1) organizer, (2) administrator, and (3) technical expertise. Theq feel�they would rather do more in the t�chnical area where they are strnnger, and Chey would hope that the Task Force would vork with them in organization and:�dministration. � Mr.:Deblon stated the Task Force elected a chairperson, 3im Gedney of the $j.ai;ne City Cauncil. �, �eblu¢i stated they talked about•airport termis�alogy--minor,°intermediate, apd major: Minor would be synonomous with genexal utility; intermediate would be synosicrmous with basic transport; and major would be synonomous with air carrier. jsr, Deblon staCed the dif£erence between classi£ications is not khe length of runways, but the srefght of airplanea and the thicicness of the runways; For, iastance,for a minor airport (general utility), the maximum poundage is 12,500 lbs. I Fo� an 4n€ermediate airport (base transpoxt)•, the maximum poundage.is 60,000 lbs. � For a major sirport (air carrier),.the maximum poundage is 120,000 lbs. : M.s. Sporre stated those were operational definitions. The Metropolitan Council's c�as;sification is by length of runway. The enabling decision by the Metro- pol3tan Council to extend the length of runway doesn�t prevent the Metropolitan pirports Co�ission (AiAC) from continuing to strengthen the runways to accommodate the weight 'oE larger planes. pitc. Deblon stated that since 1959, the Anoka'Coun�y Airport has been steadily used, and MAC received_permission from the Federa2 Aviation Associat3on (FAA) to resuzf8ce;and, becauae of that reinforcement,-the weight capaEity of the �p�YF;ays was upped to 2�,0(?O Tbs. Anoka County Airport is classified as a minor 8#`rp��, but the aixpott_;is_actually functioning right now as an intermediate airp�ort because of'the sma11 jet traffic.- Mr. Debkon stated the Task Force y�a�ed to knaw wlien the declsion was made to do that overlay and seal coating, �qd he did not think MAG would be able to get away with doing [hat anymore. po�� the MinneBOta State Legislature has seC up a planning process which requires s syst�s plan, a master plan, and an operations�plan before any,airpozt develop- s�nL. Ae £elt this piocess was a good planning mechanism that the State Legis- iatuxe has passed in response to uncontrolled development_ Any vioiation of the , �ppted pla�t would then require a riew E.I,S.,Systems Plan, and,Operations Plan. ENVIRONMGNTAL QUALITY COP'A4£>570N=�ETIIJG, Mk12CH 1$, 1980 - PAGE 4 Mr. DeUlon stated. thae Hugh Parry, Noise Analyst for the Parry Co., consultant for noise, described �@cih�ls(d6j, sonnd �r.essures, and the-LDN comparative methodology - Ms. Sporre stated thae the �DA measure was an on�rage and didn't even apply to Minnesota Szate Noise Standards. Ae �hould haya been relating it to the Minnesota State 5tatulards. She �tated there seemed`to he a lot of concern from the Task Force about using t?�e L�:v (level of day/night noise)`that , Mr. Parry wanted to use and-noC rtaking re€erenr.e to the Minnesota State Noise � Standards . That is wuy rtie Tas�:: Force caec�bers scheduled a meeting on Mar. 21 to hear from the Noise AbaLement Divisien ef the I�IPGA. Ms; Sporre sYated that en.Satur3ay, April 12, at Northtowm Shopping Ceater, : there are supposed to be derailed maps ava3labie and representatives from MAC present to discuss the Annica County Airport. Mr. Langenfeld stated that, basect on this i¢formation, what can the Environmental Quality Commission do? _ Ms. Sporre stated one of the roles the Co:.wiissi.on has is recommending to ., City Council. Another role spelled ouC in the Commi.ssion's goals-and objective3 is to stimulate crnnmunity'r�aderstanding of envir.onmer.tal issues, snd it is up to the Commission members?CO icnow this information and pass this infoxmation on.

He wondered if 'Mr. De�lon had gotten ang'feedbacic from T4r.

NPC-5, �Ie'stated some of the feelings from`the Planning Cccr�ission was that tt was o�ie governmental agency eontrolling another governmental agency and.why wexer:'t tha State Standards enforced right now? Mr. Deblon stated L-haT. Mr. Perez tol.d hici that when the MPCA attacks a , • - major problem like a maj�ir �nternat-ional airp�rt or highway, they are going Yo use regulation and prever,tion cactics.

If these reports have gone from the North Management:Gommittee to the Sta`te or other agencies, then these repa'�te_have been rec�ived and reviewed by tke No'"rth Management Covmiittee.

Public purpose served by this requiremenC is to maintain a minimum of 20 feet between living areas in adjacent st=uctures and 15 feet between garage and living area in adjacent strucCUres, to reduce exposure Co conflagration of fire. It also allows for sesthetically pleasing open areas around residential structures. APPEAI.S COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 25, 1980 PAGE 2 - B. STATED HARDSHIP; Verification survey necessary to obtain building permit for this addition shows that the house is sitting crooked on the lot. The plans had to be drawn up to meet construction in the flood plain, and wexe approved by the Planning Commission and City Council and the Department of Natural Resources. It would be costly and time consuming to change the plans now becaase of a 2 foot variance. C. ADMINTSTRATIVE STAFF REVIF[d: The petitioner's house is presently 32.51 feet from their east lot line. The proposed addition of 25 feet would result in a side yard setback of 7.31 feet. The neighbor's home to the east is 25 feet from the common lot line. If the variance was approved this would leave better than 32 feet between living areas. Since more than 20 feet will exist between Lhe structures, the staff �ve no stipulations to suggest if this request is approved. Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Carlson if he had talked to his neighbors about this addition. Mr. Carlson stated he has talked with his neighbors and many of them offered to come to the meeting to show their support. MOTION by Mr. Kemper,' seconded by Mr. Barna, to close the public hearing.

APPROVAL OF MARCH 19, 1980, PLANNING CODII�IISSION MINUTES: MOTION by Mr. Treuenfels, seconded by Mr. Langenfeld, to approve the March 19, 1980, Planning Commission minutes as written. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the motion carried unanimously. 1. PRESENTATION OF NPGS (AIRPORT INSTALLATION NOISE PERMIT) BY AL PEREZ, MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY; Mr. Deblon introduced Mr. A1 Perez of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and stated that Mr. Perez would give some background on the MPCA, a history of the NPC-5 permit, and answer questions. Mr. Perez stated that the history of the permit was pretty 1ong. The MPCA has 6een working on noise since the end of 1973. The first thing they felt had to be done was adopt noise standards, a definition of how much noise is too much noise. They did that in 1974. Since that time, their main priority has been on airports and highways. They feel the other noise problems, such as loud cars, motorcycles, barking dogs, and other community noise is going to have to be handled at the local level. The MPCA does not have the staff or the time. So, their main concern has been narrowed to airports and highways, and mose of their efforts are going that direction besides helping local communities start noise programs. � 7A PLANNING CdMNIISSIDN MEETING, APRIL 9, 1980 PAGE 2 Mr. Perez stated their work with the airports started in 1974 with the adoption of the noise standards. They started monitoring Twin Cities International Airport to determine if their proposed standards at that time actually reflected what people were telling them. They very quickly found it was very difficult and frustrating to monitor an airport of that size. They realized that if they were going to define the problem around the airport, they had to do more moni- toring and needed new equipment. The found new equipment was going to cost a half million dollars so they designed some new equipment that was built by a local electronics technician. They paid $200/unit and bought 15 units. After announcing this to the public, they soon had 400 families who wanted to do momitoring for the MPCA. Mr. Perez stated that with families doing the monitoring, they were able to spend more time around the airport and discovered that Northwest Airlines was using a unique take-off procedure. Nobody believed that, but it is now the procedure being used throughout the country. They fwnd out for sure that the main problem caused by an airport was not so much that the aircrafts are noisy, but it was the management of the airport. Since the impact of the Northwest aircrafts was dramatically less than othex airlines, it occurred to them that airport noise could be controlled. Mr. Perez stated that, from that standpoint, they began to think about a strategy. So,far, everything they have accomplished at the airport is as the result of conveying knowledge to people who can make a difference. They are working with everyone concerned, including Metropolitan Council and other agencies. It has become obvious to them after six years Chat it is an age where people won't do things out of just good will. Unless the MPCA lays down a very strict process, they are not going to solve the noise problem in Minnesota. He did not mean only Twin Cities International, but also other airports in Minnesota. Mr. Perez stated that people are being hurt by noise. The effects of noise on people cause high blood pressure, birth defects, psychiatric problems from loss of sleep, and they are learning more and more. But, people seem to treat noise as a nuisance and either get used to it or m we. It would be very difficult for the people around Twin Cities International to move. There are approximately 150,000 people and 50,000 homes, so this problem has to be taken seriously. Mr. Perez stated that after a long struggle and dealing with a11 kinds of agencies, they have decided the best way to go is through a permit process. The permit process not only deals with the existing problem, but hopefully wi11 prevent problems from developing. They started looking at what shape this permit should take and the first approach was both an operational and installa- tion permit. They offered the first few drafts for co�ents from a panel of the Agency. This panel is made up of airport, operators, pilots, and citizens. After the input, they found everything they were proposing was illegal. So, they decided to go one step further,streamline the process, clarify the language, and make a permit that wouldn't be challenged on any basis. When you deal with only the operations of an airport, you deal with the Federal Government, and it seems like anytime there is a hint that the F.A.A, might have control, the MPCA loses control at the local level. One thing they do have control over is the development of an airport as it is pretty much a local, state decision. In order to avoid possible conflicts in court, they threw out the operational part and kept only the installation part. 7C PLANtiING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 9 1980 PAGE 4 Ms. Schnabel stated that maybe that is where the concern is. That is being assumed, but maybe because there is nothing in writing that says, for example: "If the permittee fails to meet the specifications as established within this document, the Agency has the authority to close an airport down or establish fines, etc." She stated that maybe that should be written into the document. There is nothing in the permit that says what the next course of action is after construction or modification is completed, and the airport has failed to meet the specifications. Mr. Perez agreed that it was something that should be written in to make it more clear, but in reality any airport that violates these regulations is subject to civil or criminal penalties. Mr. Langenfeld stated that the reason all this was taking place was because of the Environmental Quality Commission's concern about possible expansion at Anoka County Airport. As they were going through this, they wondered if there was some way of bringing this to the attention of the proper legislative people to stop this kind of expansion. At that time, they did not know if a permit process did or did not exist, so they took it upon themselves to implement a process or see if one existed in order to stop any kind of piece-by-piece expansion. Mr. Langenfeld read a letter dated Dec. 19, 1979, which was addressed to Terry Hoffman, Executive Director of the MPCA. This letter was written by Bill Deblon on behalf of the EQC. In this letter, the Environmental Quality Co�ission recommended that the MPCA adopt a regulation such as NPC-5, Draft II, calling for control of noise pollution at airports. The Commission also reco�ended that enforcement provisions and criteria for permit revocation be included in the regulation. Mr. Langenfeld stated these recommendations were from a motion made by the Commission at that time. Mr. Langenfeld referred to NPC-5, page 3, item 2, Permit Application, stating that the National Environmental Policy Act could be a form of enforcement. Also, the fact that a noise study has to be conducted was another means of control. Mr. Perez stated that it was his opinion that many things can be done and this permit is the way it can be done. With noise, there are no federal standards. Congress said the main responsibility to control noise rests with state and local governments. He agreed with Ms. Schnabel that it wouldn't hurt to add more enforcement language, but if the MPCA fails to enforce the permit, it is up to local government, not only to enforce, but local government has the obligation by law to enforce it. If they get tangled at the state level, he hoped the local governments would not hesitate to enforce it. Mr. Harris stated that if the MPCA would issue a permit to Anoka County Airport, for example, for expansion of their facilities, and for some reason or another, the airport does not follow the procedures and are in clear violation, did Mr. Perez think the MPCA could shut the airport down? That is what it boils down to, because action is what counts. The only way to get the airport to comply is by shutting it down. 7D PLANA7ING COMMiSSION MEETING APRIL 9, 1980 PAGE 5 Mr. Perez stated that Mr. Harris was right, but he had no answer for that question. Legally, it can be done, but it boils down to the question: Is government willing to do this? It is a policy decision that has to be made by the Attorney General. Mr. Harris asked that if the MPCA goes with the permit process, the question is: How is it going to be enforced? Mr. Perez stated the answer was, civil or criminal. The Legislature has given the MPCA tremendous authority. The question is whether they are going to be able to exercise that authority, and that answer can come only from the Governor. Mr. Harris stated he would like to express his individual concern about Anoka County Airport. He stated that Twin Cities InternaCional is obviously more suited for commercial-type passenger operation than is Anoka County. It seemed to him that the logical thing would be to move air freight and that type of operation into Anoka County and leave Twin Cities International to the large commercial jets. So, in 2-3 years it would be possible to land 727's at Anoka County Airport, because 727's are used for air freight. That could make Anoka County Airport a very busy airport as air freight is a big thing. If there is a permit process, but there are no provisions to make that permit strict, it means nothing. Ms. Modig stated this was the Community Development Commission's concern. Having a pe�it was noC the problem. There are laws now that supposedly cover all these things, but if those current laws cannot be enforced, how was the permit going to be any more enforceable than the law? Mr. Perez stated that the only way Anoka County is going to remain acceptable and the few violations corrected is throngh a process that will address the problem before it develops. Right now the law does not require Anoka County Airport to tell the MPCA anything, because the MPCA does not have a permit for noise. Anoka County Airport could build a terminal, because they do not need a water pollution or air po�lution or solid waste permit. So, with Anoka County Airport, particularly, this noise permit is the only way they can look at the impact before it happens. Yes, there is a law, but it is only triggered by a violation. Ms. Schnabel stated that Mr. Perez has stated the MPCA has two avenues: civil and criminal. What happens if the Executive Director, the person responsible for proceeding with an action, fails to be persuaded that a situation exists which is in violation of this permit? Mr. Perez stated that the MPCA Board is a 9-member citizen board. He works for that Board. If a citizen is concerned about this happening, that person should go directly to the Board, and the Board will rule. The Board has been known repeatedly to disagree with the Executive Director and the staff. PLANNtNG COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 9, 1980 PAGE 6 Mr. Langenfeld stated the Environmental Quality Commission had expressed their concern through the motion and letter written to the Executive Director. Mr. Perez stated that letters mean a lot to the legislative agencies, but to the MPCA, people mean a lot. He stated that if they wanted to make an impact, then somebody should be at the MPCA Board meeting on April 29 at 10:00 a.m. when the NPC-5 will be discussed. That presence is very important as the Board listens to citizens, members of city boards, and City Council people. Mr. Perez stated it was his personal decision that if this permit process is adopted, they are going to do something about it. The language was important, but the MPCA has that capability, even though it is not clearly spelled out in the permit. This has been worked out so there is not going to be any issues of pre-emption. Mr. Perez stated that the state noise standards do not prevent degradation of the environment, and right now they have a pretty nice environment in this part of the city. The state standards do say you can produce noise up to a certain limit, and there is not going to be health problems, but the quietude might disappear. He did not want people to think that things were going to remain the same by adopting this procedure. It will get noisier, but notso noisy as to affect people's health. Mr. Langenfeld stated he wanted to personally thank Mr. Perez for coming to the meeting, and asked Mr. Perez if he had any comments or reco�endations for the Commission. Mr. Perez stated he would hope the Commission would take this seriously. He would hope that they would continue to push the MPCA by suggesting things and keeping track of what the MPCA is doing. He stated they should keep on writing letters or attending meetings and speaking about what is going on in their co�unity. If the MPCA does not feel the pressure, nothing happens. He also — --- -- — strongly recommended that the City send someone to the Apri1 29 MPCA Board meeting to voice the City's concerns. Mr. Harris also thanked Mr. Perez for coming and talking to the Commission. Mr seconded by Ms. Hughes, to recommend that the City n the adontion of a reeulation such as NPC-5. Dx'aft II er 12, 1979, callinQ for control of noise pollution at airports, and in Draft II. would rec lation. Ms. Hughes stated she was not sure if this process would get done in time to be much help fox' the Anoka County Airport, but there was always some hope that the Anoka County Airport would not move too fast and could be controlled by a permit, if the permit process was started quickly. She stated the MPCA's authority to act is in the state statutes, and they can enforce it. She felt the Director of the MPCA was very environmentally-conscious. She would like to see them give the MPCA a11 the support they can, and what is left is the Environmental Rights Act--anybody can sue. 7E � 7F PLANNlNG COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 9, 1980 PAGE 7 Ms. Schnabel stated she got the feeling that Mr. Perez was very comfortable with this document and felt there are enough safeguards to enforce it. He did agree there should be some different language, but he felt that ultimately, even if this doesn't work, they will still have the civil and criminal courts to back them up. Mr. Deblon stated the key thing is that if you put too much teeth into a process like this, you will have federal pre-emption. Mr. Harris stated he felt it was better than nothing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 2. RECEIVE MEMO FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER DATED MARCH 27, 1980, RE: THE CITY'S COURSE QE ACTION REGARDING ALLEY VACATIONS: MOTION by Ms. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels, to receive the memo from the City Manager dated March 27, 1980. Mr. Boardman stated it was determined by the City Council that the City should not xequest vacation of any alleys and and property owner who wishes to request a vacation will be advised to get a 100% agreement of the property owners affecteci in order for tfie �ity to wa3ve the fee. - Mr. Harris stated this puts them right back at the beginning again. Mr. Deblon stated Staff did a survey and so a lot of people were left wondering what is happening. He would like some dixection from the Planning C�ission as to whether Staff should send letters notifying these people of where the City now stands on alley vacations. Mr. Harris stated that, yes, anyone interested in this item l�as the right to know the City Council's decision on it. Ms. Schnabel stated she felt this decision by the City Council was very discouraging. Mr. Harris asked if the City Council was prepared to maintain unimproved alleys? Mr. Boardman stated it was not the responsibility of the City Council to maintain unimproved alleys--it was the responsibility of the property owners, just like boulevards. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Harris stated that the Planning Commission was supposed to have a joint meeting with City Council on Monday, April 14, and this was an item that should be discussed with the CiCy Council. 7G PLANNING COPMIISSION MEETING, APRIL 9, 1980 PAGE 8 3. RECEIVE GUIDELINES FOR THE PRIORITI2ATION OF FUNDING REQUESTS--FINAL DRAFT: MOTION by Mr.. Langenfeld, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels, to receive the "Guidelines for the Prioritization of Funding Requests". Mr. Boardman stated these guidelines have been approved by the Human Resources Co�ission and are before the Planning Commission for its approval. Ms. Hughes recov�ended that the title be amended to read: "Guidelines for Setting Priorities of Funding Requests". The Commission concurred with this amendment. Ms. Hughes stated that on the second page, item 3, where it said, "a listing of other sources of funding available to the applicant", was that sources from which the applicant can receive funding or a list of foundations from the Library? Mr. Boardman suggested that the wording of 9�3 be changed to: "A listing of specific and anticipated sources of funding available to the applicant.'.' The Commission concurred with this change. Ms. Hughes stated that on 966, the word, "excepted" should be changed to "expected". Ms. Schnabel stated that on the third page, she did not see anything about lookinp_at_a_total�ercent of the dollars out of the budget — - — ----_ _ ----- — - . _ __—_ that are used for staff versus actual services provided. For example, the State of Minnesota has very strict guidelines in terms of agencies requesting funds from private individuals. Maybe this should be in the guidelines. Mr. Treuenfels stated the only place that was touched on was in D-3: "The administrative and program service costs are in reasonable balance." He stated that what was really in question was the administrative costs versus the services provided. Mr. Harris stated he would rather leave this up to the discretion of the Human Resources Commission. Ms. Schnabel stated she would hope that the Human Resources Commission would scrutinize this carefully when they received funding requests. Mr. Boardman stated this program was not going to be that extensive, and they will let people know that the basis of the decisions will be strictly based on priorities set up by the Human Resources Commission. It is going to be a subjective decision made somewhere down the line. He would suggest that the Human Resources Co�ission clearly lay out reasons why they have made a certain decision. If the reasoning is valid, that will be laid out when the reconmenda- tion goes to City Council. Mr. Treuenfels stated the Human Resources Commission would be very happy to supply reasons to both the Planning Commission and the City Council. 7N PLANNiNG C�MMISSION MEETING, APRIL 9, 1980 PAGE 9 Ms. Hughes stated she felt B-2, "This service does not overlap with services provided elsewhere in the community" was extremely restrictive. She was very uncomfortable with that, because she could see the need sometimes to have more than one organization in the city addressing the same program or same need. Some organizations are limited by staff and budgets and sometimes the first organization cannot handle any more people or whatever, so there is plenty of need for setting up a second group. Mr. Treuenfels stated this is only one of a number of points that would be taken into consideration. The point here is if there is an organization that does the job well in the sense of being able to serve all the people in need of that particular service, then another organization trying to muscle in and get funding from the city would be reminded that the taxpayer is paying for this and that the need has to be established of why a second organization is actually needed. Mr. Boardman suggested that B-2 on the third page be reworded as follows: "The extent this service does not overlap with other services provided elsewhere in the community." The Cott�ission concurred with this change. Mr. Boardman stated that the Planning Commission's role will be to look at the Auman Resources Commission's reasoning behind their decisions. The Planning Commission cannot change the Human Resources Commission's recommendations, but will be allowed to make additional recommendations that will go on to City Council. Ms. Hughes stated that since the Human Resources Cov�ission has a particular mission outlined for them in dealing primarily with the human resources in the community and some proposals come to them dealing with environmental matters, will the Human Resources Commission seek the advice of the Environmental Quality Commiss�on or will they feel competent to rule on the quality of an environmental application? Mr. Treuenfels stated it was a point well taken. After the Human Resources Commission has looked at an application dealing with environmental matters, it is possible they would confer with the commission_also concerned with environmental matters.

Ms, Hughes stated the trip to the Brooklyn Center and St. Louis Park recreational facilities was very informative. Brooklyn Center's community recreational center was a very nice facility and very well maintained. St. Louis Park's facility turned out to be mostly ice arena with an outdoor swimming pool and little other facilities. That facility was poorly maintained. Neither of the facilities or their programs were self-supporting. She stated the Parks & Recreation Commission may have the opportunity to visit the recreational center in Rochester, Mn.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY; 10. OTHER BUSINESS: Mr. Treuenfels seated that the Human Resources Conmiission has asked him to bring a question before the Planning Commission. He stated the Human Resources Commission has been approached by the State Department of Human Rights with a newly proposed method of settling possible grievances that result from alleged discrimination of one kind or another. This method is called the "No-Fault Grievance Procedure". The Human Resources Commission would like to know the feelings of the Planning Covmission as to whether the Human Resources Covmission should get into the settling of grievances due to discrimination or even if this was a proper area for the Human Resources Co�ission to get into. Mr. Boardman stated this was something brought up to the Planning Cammission about a year ago by the Human Resources Commission. At that time, the Planning Co�ission asked some very valid questions as to how it was going to be handled, who was going to be responsible for handling it, and how it was to be staffed. He stated he had not read the new document, but he would be concerned about the staffing requirements. 7Y, PLANNiNG COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 9, 1980 PAGE 12 Ms. Cayan stated that it would involve staff time, processing, and a great deal of commission time. From what she can gather, it would take at least 3-4 hours of staff time per grievance. It would also involve training time for staff. Mr. Harris stated this was another item that should be discussed with the City Council at the meeting on April 14. Mr. &oardman stated they could also contact Coon Ragids to see how many grievances the Coon Rapids Human Rights Coam�ission handles. Mr. Boardman stated that a person living at 198 Mercury Drive, which is a corner lot, has the continual problem of people driving up over the corner of his lot. This person wants to put in a split rail fence out to the curb and along the curb to the street. Mr. Boardman stated he has advised this person that he would prefer that not be done. Mr. Boardman stated he would suggest that this person put some big rocks or boulders on the corner if that is the direction the Planning Commission would like him to take. The Conmiission concurred with this suggestion. Mr. Boardman stated it is again time for junk yards to renew their licenses. He stated that the Co�ission might recall that Sam's Auto Parts was one junk yard that initially got a special use permit to put in classic auto parts. The problem is that the owner is not specializing in classic auto parts as specified under that special use permit and has not been for about three years. Did the Planning Coumdssion want to start enforcing the special use permit or make the owner come back for a new special use permit or an amended special use permit? Mr. Rarris stated something should be done because the operation was a change from the original special use permit. He stated that the Commission should have a11 the information on it first and then they can take another look at it. Mr. Harris stated that he had talked to Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, about a joint meeting between the Planning Co�ission and the City Council. If there were no objections, this meeting will be held Monday, April 14, at 9:00 p.m. He stated that some of the items to be discussed are expense accounts, the drainage issue, person to attend the MPCA Board meeting on April 29, and the "No-Fault Grievance Procedure" proposed to Che Human Resources Conm�ission. Mr. Harris stated there is a planning seminar called, "Planning Quiet Communities" to be held on Thursday, May 8. Any of the Coum�ission members wishing to attend should contact Mr. Boardman. 7 L. PLANNING GQMMISSION MEETING APRIL 4, 1980 PAGE 13 Mr. Harris stated he has had some discussions wiCh Larry Covm�ers, Chairperson of the Housing & Redevelopment Authority about the concerns expressed by the Planning Commission. Mr. Covm�ers was also concerned about the Planning Co�ission's concerns. Mr. Commers stated he would like the Planning Co�ission to become more actively involved with the HRA, and Mr. Harris had told him he thought the Commission should do that on an individual basis at this time and not as a commission. Mr. Harris stated he also had the opportunity to discuss with Mr. Cammers the city prosecutor's position and Mr. Prieditis' position with the ARA, and he thought they have worked out a solution. Mr. Commers has gotten some legal advice on this, and to ensure the integrity of the HRA, the HRA will set up a written policy or procedure which will be followed by anyone having a possible conflict of interest at any time on any item. Mr. Harris stated he thought this was a very good idea. Mr. Aarris stated it would behoove the Planning Co�ission members as private citizens to attend HRA meetings and be involved in the HRA's determinations. 11.
