Mr. Langenfeld stated that on page 4 of the minutes, regarding Ms. Modig's
concern that the letter City Council sent Co MPCA supporting a noise regulation
such as NPC-5 did not reflect whaC was intended in the Planning Commission's
motion, Mr. Flora had suggested that the Planning Commission write up a sample
letter of transmittal for the City Council's signature and approval to avoid
misunderstandings.
Ms. Schnabel staCed that before a letter is written, perhaps Mr. Flora, if
he Was the one responsiUle for writing the letter, should check with the appro-
priate staff people involved to get all the pertinent details that should go
into the letter.

5. PIJBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP 4k80-04, FRIDLEY
CONVALESCENT HOME: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.051, 3, F, to
allow an entrance from Lyric Lane because of expansion of the nursing _
home, to add clerical, office and classroom-meeting space, located on
Lot 1, Block 1, Maple Manor Addit3on, the same being 7590 Lyric Zane N,E.,
Fridley, Minnesota.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Langen£eld, to open the public hearing
on SP �80-04 by the Fridley Convalescent Home. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Chairman Harris declared the public hearing open at 7:35 p.m.
Mr. Boardman stated that he would give a little background on this item.
When the nursing home was progosed on this site in 1968, the Planning Commission
and City Council recommended a special use permit with the determination that
there be no access off Lyric Lane. The reason this has come back to the
Planning Commission for a special use heaxing is because what is being proposed
is something that was suggested not take place in the original special use
permit. This special use permit request is for a modification of that recommen-
dation or stipulation on the 1968 special use permit approval. The Fridley
Convalescent Home is proposing an addition to the office administration area
with an access road coming in to the parking area that goes past the front of
the building as a drop-off point. This access road would be a one-way in off
of Lyric Lane. This is in violation of the original special use permit.
Mr. Boardman stated that Staff has several problems with this, primarily
access problems. If this is approved for any reason, Staff feels this drive,
instead of coming in at an angle onto Lyric Lane, should be dropped back a
little bit more and brought more out on a right angle onto Lyric Lane. Regard-
less of whether or not the driveway is approved, Staff feels that additional
plantings and screening should be put around the parking lot to screen it from
the residential neighborhood.
Ms. Schnabel asked if Staff had any other alteYnatives to recommend.
Mr. Boardman stated the only other alternative without access to Lyric Lane
would be a roadway that would completely circle the building. He did not
know if that was the best alternative, because there are residences all along
there.
Mr. Johanson stated he was sitting on the Planning Coam�ission 15-17 years ago,
and he was the one who made the motion not to allow access ont•o Lyric Lane,
However, at that time, the area was being zoned for apartments, and now it is
a nursing home. He stated there is a real need for the access, and parking
PLANNING COP�iCSSION MEETING, 3UNE 4, 1980 PAGE 4
is a real problem. He stated they could be very proud of the parents and
relatives who visit the older people in the nursing home and getting in and out
of the nursing home is very hard. At this time, they cannot drive up to the '
front door, They have to drive to the back of the building and walk around
to the front door.
Mr. Johanson stated there really is no outside recreation area for the residents,
and te could not see where this would hurt the neighbors on the other side.
He felt they haae done a good job with screening, and what they have done in
pratecting the neighbors should speak quite well.
Ms. Schnabel stated she had read all the minutes and in£ormation attached to
the agenda, and she could find no reference where it specifically stated that
there shall be no access off Lyric Lane.
Ms. Hughes stated that on page 19 of the agenda (Regular Council meeting of
Ocb. 21, 1968, page 24), there is a motion made by Councilman Samuelson to
"concur with the Board of Appeals with the exception that the egress and exit
should be on Madison St. and upon submitting more complete plans showing just
what land was involved". She thought that sounded like a stipulation. She
wondered if the Planning Commission couldn`t proceed on the basis that there
was such a stipulation. Did Mr. Johanson agree there was a stipulation of no
egress onto Lyric Lane?
Mr. Johanson stated he did remember the stinulation, but did not remember the
dates.
Mr. Harris asked if there was anyone in the audience who would like to speak
to the item.
Mr. Buhn, 7573 Lyric Lane, stated he thought he was at the meetings when that
stipulation was made that there be no egress onto Lyric Lane. He didn't think
the traffic has decreased any on Lyric Lane and felt that a driveway into the
nursing home would only increase the traffic. He was in complete agreement
with the nursing home wanting a nice area outside for the residents, but why
clutter it up with a driveway?
Mr. Johanson stated that Co put in a circ2e driveway, they would have to come
in off Madison and go all around the building. They would like to be able to
have some of the people come in off Lyric Lane, discharge a resident at the
front door, drive to the parking lot, and exit onto Madison. They are having
very heavy traffic access on Madison because of Unity Hospital and the doctors'
parking lot. Because of the nursing home's small parking lot, a lot of people
are parking on the street and in the hospital parking lot in order to visit
parents or friends. He really did not believe the access onto Lyric Lane would
increase traffic on Lyric Lane.
Ms. Nielsen, 7583 Lyric Lane, sEated she lives almost across the street from
the proposed driveway, Right now they have more traffic than they can bear.
Unity Hospital has an entrance onto Lyric Lane which is supposedly an employees'
parking lot, and that traffic is heavy during the changes in shifts. She
��
PLANNING COt�ffSSION MEETING JUHE 4 1980 PAGE 5
atated that their children all walk to schooL as there is no bus service on
the area from Madison to Jackson on Lyric Lane. The children have Co walk
in the street because there are no side�valks until they get to Osborne. Her
main concern was the children, and she would hate to see a child hiC by a
car because of that driveway into the nursing home.
Mr. Langenfeld asked how Ms. Nielsen felt the traffic would actually increase.
He had the impression from what he had already heard that the traffic already
existed, and this access would not necessarily incYease the traffic.
Ms. Nielsen stated that right now the heaviest traffic occurs during the
changes in shifts at the hospital. It was her feeling that by putting in a
driveway to the nursing home, there would be �isitors coming and going all
day long.and it would increase the traffic. The employees would also use
that entrance.
Mr. Buhn stated that a good portion of the traffic now going off Madison
that drops off people at the nursing hame and the nursing hame employees
would start coming in through the driveway on Lyric Lane. He asked if it
was possible to change the entrance to the nursing home as long as they would
be remodeling and continue to use Diadison as the main entrance?
Mr. Johanson stated it was not possible to rearrange administration, plus
the fact that there was a setback needed f:om Madison. The setback from
Lyric Lane still meets city code, He stated there is no basement under a
good share of the building, and the building was not really built to increase
the size of it. By adding on to the front, they don't have to depend on the
other utilities in the nursing home and can build on for less money. He
stated the nursing home really cannot afford even this. The State sets the
rate they can charge for a patient and the nursing home has to live within
that budget.
Mr. Su�ers, 7553 Lyric Lane, stated he has lived on Lyric Lane since 1968
and watched the nursing home being built. He stated the nursing home does
not use the front door at all. As he has observed, the traffic for the people
_ ___ _
coming to the nursing home comes off Osborne, goes down Madison into the
nursing home parking lot, and leaves on Madison. This new proposed driveway
would increase the traffic in front of their homes. He was also concerned
about the children caho have to walk.
Ms, Judlicki stated, that as Mr, Suvm�ers has stated, most of the traffic does
come off Osborne Road. She stated the only people using the Lyric Lane access
would be relatives of residents in order to drop the residents off at a central
location. Right now all Che residents have to c wie through the west entrance.
That means all the traffic is coming through the living quarters of the
residents which makes privacy almost impossible. The new driveway would take
the traffic to the main area of the nursing home. The employees and staff
would continue to use the parking lot off Piadison.
Mx. Langenfeld asked Ms. Judlicki approximately how many people she felt would
be dropped off at the main entrance in a day.-
PLANNLNG COF4ffSSI0N MEETING JUNE 4 1980 PAGE 6
Ms. Judlicki stated it would be 4-5 residents at the most, This access would
also be easier for ouYings when they hire a bus or a van, because it would
be easier for the residents to get on and off a bus.
Mr. Barsness,7589 Lyric Lane, stated he was concerned about the traffic. They,
would like to think of Lyric Lane as a residential street, and now 3t was in
danger of being a too heavily traveled street. He stated k�e also had a second
concern not yet mentioned and that was the fact that directly east of the
nursittg home is a large apastment complex. The apartment complex has a
parking lot running north and south with one entrance onto Osbome. He did
nct live in the neighborhood at the time the complex was built, but he under-
stood that the apartment complex also came before the Planning Commission to
have an access onto Lyric Lane, and that access was denied. He stated there
are still a number of cars who use Lyric Lane to get to the apartment complex
parking Iot anyway. He stated they do not want to deny anything to the elderly,
but if an access is allowed onto Lyric Lane for the nursing home, it would be
pretty hard to deny the easement for the people in the apartment complex. The
neighborhood definitely does not want an easement for the apartment c�plex,
Ms, Hughes stated that if there was a front entrance, was it the intention of
the nursing home to close off the west entrance?
Ms. Judlicki stated theg would not close that entrance because of the employees
and other people who regularly use it now.
Ms, Schnabel stated she was not totally convinced that putting this driveway
in was going to increase the traffic that much. As she saw it, the driveway
would be used on two occasions. One would be for dropping off the handicapped
oY elderly person at the front door, and the other would be in inclement
weather when there are several passengers in a car and those passengers are
dropped off ab the front door. Othenrise, if she were a visitor who had a
relative in the nursing home, she wo�2d not use the front entrance at a12,
but would always take Madison, park in the lot, and walk to the easiest or
closest entrance. From a practical standpoint, she could not see how this
proposal would increase the traffic that much over what currently existed.
From what she has heard so £ar, the traffic is really related to hospital
traffic or possible apartment traffic.
Mr. Harris asked how many residents are intiie nursing home.
Ms. Sudlicki stated there are 129 nursing home residents.
Ms. Hughes,asked Ms, Judlicki what happens to the people visiting the residents
who are handicapped.
Ms. Judlicki stated they are dropped off at the west entrance. They have a
handicapped parking slot by the west entrance, but it is on a slope so it is
very difficult for a person handicapped in any way.
Ms. Hughes stated that with the driveway being one-way to the west, this
would require anyone using the driveway to make a left turn off Madison and
a left turn o£f Lyric Lane unless the traffic was coming from the east on
Lyric Lane. This could be a dangerous traffic situation if there are people
atacked up to turn left. She was also concerned about whether school buses or
vans could make that turn easily.

PLANNING COMhffSSION MEETING JiJNE 4, 1980 PAGE 7
Ms, Nielsen stated there was also the problem in the wintertime when the snow
is piled up, This would make visibility very difficult and could be an even
greater danger to the children.
Mr. Buhn stated that Mr. Johanson had said that the reason for enlarging the
nursing home parking lot and getting more parking at Unity is because they
can't handle the amount of cars they have now. That has to be proof that the
neighborhood is going to be subject to mose traffic than it has now.
Ms. Carroll, 7567 Lyric Lane, stated she lives practically across the street
from the nursing home. Aer children walk to school, play and ride bikes in
the street, and she is concerned about the traffic.
Mr. Johanson stated that rather than do anything to upset the neighbors across
the street, they would rather do nothing, He has been on the Hospital Board
since the day the City put him on the North.Suburban Hospital District. They
have worked with the people on Lyric Lane and have planted trees and done
everything to keep good relations with the neighbors and would like it to stay
that way. He was concerned about the children a1so, buC he could see a real
benefit to Che older people living in the nursing home to have that entrance.
That entrance would be very little used.
Ms. Barsness, 7589 Lyric Lane, stated she was also concerned about the Eraffic
and the children walking. She works at Unil'�> and walks to work. It is
especially dangerous in the wintertime. She is opposed to the access off Lyric
Lane. - �
Mr. Oquist stated that the concern expre�sed by Mr. Barsness was something the
Planning Coum�ission should discuss, and that was regarding the apartment
buiLding complex, If they allow the entrance for the nursing home, they
would have to consider the apartment complex also.
Mr. Tr�uenfels asked anyone in the audience to answer a question and that was
how much they would estimate the traffic to increase if this particular drive-
way ofi Lyric Lane was put in?
Ms. Nielsen stated that, after the nursing home addition, she would estimate
an increase of 50 or more cars in a 24 hr. day.
Mr. Suc�miers.stated he agreed with that figure and further stated that most
of those cars would probably come off Madison, make a left-hand turn onto
Lyric Lane, and a left hand turn into the nursing home driveway, which would
put traffic across the westbound traffic that is coming down Lyric Lane right
now, The co�ent was made that this would be a one-way entrance, but he felt
that even though you put up signs, people are going to go both directions.
Mr. Harris asked where the deliveries are made now.
Mr. Johanson stated that a11 deliveries come to Che rear of the building.
All mail deliveries come to the west entrance.
_-,��,
PLANNlNG COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 4 2980 PAGE 8
Mr. Summers stated that most of the neighbors have expressed their opinions
that they are concerned ab wt the traffic. They do not look forward to seeing
a driveway added and not one of them is in favor of the driveway.
Mr. Johanson had already stated that if this was not agreeable to the neighbor-
hood, he would gn along with that.
Mr, Johanson stated that, yes, they probably would; however, if they spend
money to go around the back, they will not have the money to spend on the land-
scaping they had planned, They are trying to do the nicest thing foY everyone.
Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Johanson that if the driveway was not agreed upon,
how great a hardship would it be for xhe nursing home?
Mr, Sohanson stated they have been planning this for close to a year, and they
would probably try to come up with an alternative p1an. They feel there is a
rea2 need for the expans{on.
Ms. Hughes asked about the Hospital Board for the nursing hame that
Mr, Johanson had talked aboat.
Mr, Johanson stated the Hospital goard con§ists of three members who run the
nursing home. They are Betty Wall of the North Suburban Hospital District,
Dean Tollefson of the First Nat�onal Bank in Blaine, and himself.
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr.Langenfeld, to close the public hearing
on SP �80-04 by the Fridley Convalescent Home. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Chairman Harris declared the public hearing closed at 9:07 g.m.
Ms. Hughes asked if there was enough access to the building for fire
emergencies.
Mr, Boardman stated that fire access is made primarily from the street, and
there is no problem with that.

PLANNiNG COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 4, 1980 PAGE 9
Ms. Hughes stated ehat it appeared to her that the parking lot that is being
considered to be added only encourages the use of the west entrance in the
back. If they really want to encourage use of the front door, they should
consider using the large area to the east in some kind of a parking lot that
would include a driveway turn-around. The concerns of a disturbance to the
nursing home residents by havin� a drive close to them can easily be accommo-
dated on that lot by moving the parking lot away from the residents and having
a large grassy area between the building and the parking lot. They could still
have the drop-off by having a one-way drive that comes in close to Lyric Lane.
This should all be considered by the traffic people. _F,
Mr. Langenfeld stated it was his opinion that the traffic was definitely a
problem. The petitioner has stated he may consider an alternative method.
At this point in time, he could see the feasibility of such a drop-off for
the residents; however, he was inclined to go with the motion to deny entrance
off Lyric Lane.
Mr. Treuenfels stated that one of the reasons for denial in the motion was the
possible precedent they would be setting fror other driveways onto Lyric Lane.
He would like more information on what they would be geCting into with some-
thing like this.
Mr. Boardman stated that the reason this driveway petition was brought to the
Planning Co�i.ssion was because of some questions in the original special use
permit as to whether a driveway would or would not 6e allowed to Lyric Lane.
In reviewing the previous minutes and information, Staif fel't this would
require an amendment to the special use permit apgroved at that time. That is
why it is before the Planning Commission. He stated that anyone has the right
to have access onto a street. If the apartment building wants access to Lyric
Lane, the Staff would most likely say "no" to that access. There is nothing
in the city codes that can stop that access. It is primarily an administrative
judgment, and if the apartment building disagreed with that judgment, then
they can appeal the staff judgment.
Mr. Harris referred to page 15 of the agenda (Minutes o£ the Board of Appeals,
Nov. 6, 1968) noting the second stipulation in a motion made by himself:
"The new plot plan is agreeable with egress on Madison St." It was the Board
of Appeals feeling at that time, and he has not seen any reason to change that
feeling in the past 12-13 years, that they wanted accesses to the project off
Madison St. because they felt any turning on Lyric Lane would present a safety
hazard. That was the reasoning for the "no egress" for the apartment building
and the nursing home. Under the present proposal, it was his opinion that the
turning from either direction would create a traffic hazard with the amount of
traffic already on Lyric Lane. It was the Board of'Appeals feeling, and was
still his opinion, that they wanted to see uninterrupted traffic flow down
Lyric Lane.
Mr. Boardman stated he had a question which dealt with the code requirements
on setback of parking as compared to setback of driveway. In a driveway
situation, there is no setback from the right-of-way, primarily because that
driveway has access/egress oif the street and therefore alTows a driveway to
go to the property 1ine. When they run into problems is when a driveway
PLAh'NING COt�LCSSION MEETING JUNE 4 I980 PAGE 10
becomes part of a parking lot and there are no accesses off to the street.
Therefore, they look at it as a setback of 20 ft. from the property line.
If this driveway is not accessed off onto Lyric Lane, then would the Planning
Coo¢nission view it still as a driveway or a driveway as part of a parking lot
and therefore have to meet the 20 ft. setback requirement? If it has to meet
a 20 ft, setback requirement, then it cannot Ue located in the front yard
without a variance. He posed this question for the Planning Co�ission's
consideration, because the Planning Commission may or may not have to act
on it at sometime itt the futuze. �
Ms. Schnahel stated that in thinking about the motion, she had decided she
would vote against the motion for the following reasons:
1. She did not think the circumstances of the handicapped have been
truly addressed in trying to decide how these people are going to
be easily picked up and dropped off at the nursing home, specifically
if the entrance is not permitted. The petitioners have indicated
they are having difficulty currently with their handicapped people
trying to get them in and out, and she did not think they have really
addressed the needs of those residents of our city. She has had
quite a bit of experience recently with nursing home patients and
can relate to the problems these people are experiencing in trying
to provide a11 services to their residents. She found the best
argument against the driveway was the argument of additional deliveries,
the mail, United Parcel Service, etc. She agreed with that concern,
but perhaps those issues could be solved by specifically delineating
special areas for package deliveries, other than mail.
2. In talking about putting one driveway on that side of the street,
they fail to realize that across the street each one of the people
in the audience represents a driveway that does come out on Lyric
Lane, maybe another ten driveways coming out on that side of Lyric
Lane, with the same situations existing--that there are children
walking in the street, there is traffic, and the many other things
brought up at the meeting. Because of that, she felt it was hard to
find a real reason not to provide the access to the nursing home via
only one driveway. She could not, in good conscience, deny the
nursing home thati easy access.
Mr. Wharton stated he agreed with Ms. Schnabel and would also vote against the
motion. He felt L-his driveway off Lyric Lane is a very prudent driveway.
He felt the petitioners have shown a need and he has not been convinced during
the meeting that the traffic is going to increase on Lyric Lane to any degree
over what residences on the nursing home side of the street would have or
what he has on the other side of his street by having residents who back their
cars out of the driveways, Children run a much greater risk by having neighbors
across the street with driveways into each home than he felt the residents
along Lyric Lane would have with one driveway across from them going into
the property only,
PLANNiNG COi�LCSSION MEETING 3UtdE 4 1980 PAGE 11
Mr. Wharton stated that the idea of a driveway going over to the east end of
the property with a cul-de-sac or parking lot is not going to be a convenience,
because cars out of necessity coould be going east, discharging their passengers
on the south side of the driveway. The passengers would have to walk across
the driveway to get into the building, or else Che car would have to proceed
to the cul-de-sac to turn around and come back west to discharge the passenger.
This could be more of a hazard than a benefit.
Mr. Oquist stated he did not think the question had 6een answered about the
precedent setting regarding the possibility of the apartment complex wanting
access onto Lyric Lane.
Mr. Iiarris stated that from a practical standpoint, he felt if they start
allowing accesses, they will be setting a precedent. Staff can say "no", but
the apartment people sti11 have the right to come in and ask for a variance or
mitigation of the circumstances.
Ms. Schnabel stated she disagreed with that. IC was a completely different
situation with a whole different set of hardships. The apartment complex
would, in effect, be creating a whole new street from Lyric Lane to Oshorne,
which would be a completely different situation from that of the nursing home.
Mr. Boardman agreed with Ms. Schnabel. Ae stated there are two completely
different situations with two different prncedures--a variance procedure
requires proof of a hardship, whereas, under a special use permit, no hard�hip
is reqcired. '
Mr. Langenfeld stated this was a very dif£icult thing to make a decision on.
He was very much aware of the needs of the handicapped people by nature of
his profession. It was his hope that some alternative decision might be made
that would meet the needs of the citizens as well as the handicapped and the
nursing home.
Ms. Rughes stated she works with handicapped p ersons every day and is we11
acquainted with some of the problems they have in gaining access to buildings.
She did not think any of the considerations suggested in the motion were an
imposition on the handicapped. What the petitioners presented was not informa-
tion about how desperately they needed access for the handicapped,with the
exception that they don't want them coming in the west door because o£ the
problems mentioned. She felt it was not the Planning Commission's job to plan
the access to the building, but to let the petitioner go back and make some
new plans xnd arrangements.
Mr. Harris thanlced everyone for coming and stated this would go before the
City Council on June 16.

Page 50
205.12 P DISTRICT REGULATIONS
205.121 Uses Permitted
Mr. Harris stated it was his feeling that all of Item ��1-B (public parks,
playgrounds, athletic £ields, golf courses, airports, parking area) shouid
require a special use permit when improvements are made, because he felt
these improvements impacted the neighborhoods. He stated that at the last
Planning Coumiission meeting, this item was tabled until Ms. Hughes could be
present to express her feelings.
M(YfION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to remove the item from the
table. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairman Harris declaYed the motion
carried unanimously.
Ms. Hughes stated she has problems with special use permits. The philosophy
of public use without a public hearing is that the determination is made
somehow that it is for the overall public good, and Che body making that
determination can put the proposed facility wherever that body chooses.
Those considerations are considerations of noise, traffic, etc., but when
you start naming how that decision is made, all those things are what are
normally required and expected in a public hearing.
Mr. Boardman questioned at what stage should public hearings be held--at a
master plan stage or aC the actual development stage, and to what extent should
they control it?
Ms, Iiughes stated she did noC think they could be ef£ective unless they kept
track of every sCage fran very early on up. She really felr it meant a series
of public hearings.
SP�CIAL PLANAING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 9, 1980 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated he did not see where they would want to have public
hearings on public improvements in the Zoning Ordinance, because he felt the
public heaxing stage should be a lot sooner than those improvements.
Ms. Schnabel agreed that she did not think the Zoning Ordinance was the place
to write in the demand for public hearings. Maybe this is the kind of thing
that should be turned aver to the Charter Commission and let them review it.
Mr. Harris stated he did not care how it was done as long as it got done.
The Planning Commission could have the Charter Commission review public
hearings and submit a report back to the Planning Cou�ission. He asked
Mr. Boardman to write a letter to the Charter Co�ission for the Planning
Commission's signature.
Mr. Boardman stated he would check with the City Attorney to make sure the
Charter Commission was the right place for Chis to go.
i�l-F. The Coumdssion asked Mr. $oardman to rewrite this paragraph to make
the meaning more clear.

�5. Landscaping
Mr, lIarris stated that it was his concern that with so many restrictions on
small C-1 lots, it could make them literally unbuildable.
Mr, Boardman stated that the Planning Commission might want to consider
putting a percentage on a building permit on the cost of construction that
wouid go into landscaping. Some other coum�unities have been doing this.
Right now Staff has ,control over the landscaping, but it gets done unevenly,
SPECIAL PLANNiNG COMbfISSION MEETIDIG, JUNE 9, 1980 ___ PAGE 3
Mr. kiarris stated he could understand Mr. Boardman's point in wanting same
guidelines, but there has to be some sensible point to control landscaping.
Ms. Hughes stated she thought there was a reai limit to what could be done.
She objected to.too many requirements,but she could appreciate that Fridley
is a mature community and inCerested in some of the amenities. She did not
Ehink it should be left to the discretion of the seaff, because it did get
applied unevenly. She could appreciate Staff's reasoning for wanting some
standards to go by. She was willing to say a minimum figure in the building
permit, because that probably would be negotiated anyway. __- .
Mr. Boardmau stated he was really concerned about the people who plan the
cost of a building but don't plan for the cost of the landscaping. If some-
thing was in the books that said a percentage of the construction cosC is
going towazds landscaping, it forces them to have Co plan ahead.
Ms. Schnabel stated she has always been very strong on landscaping. Besides
providing the amenities, it is good tasCe, and as a commun3ty, they should
start encouraging good taste. Landscaging reflects a co�unity that has gone
beyond the growing sCages and begins to show roots. She felt strongly that
landscaping should be required, but she was not sure there should be a dollar
figure or even a percentage put cm it. •
Ms. Hughes stated there were three options in requiring landscaping: (1_) outting
a percentage on the building permit; (2) a minimum set of dollar figures; or
(3) leaving as is with total control by the City.
Mr. Boardman stated he thought lZ% of the total construction costs would be
a good figure for landscaping.
T&e Planning Co�ission concurred with 1'�% of the total construction costs as
a requirement for landscaping.
MY, Soardman stated he would wri.te that into Item ��5-B.
Ms. Schnabel stated it should aiso be termed "natuYal landscaping" to avoid
artificial landscaping.

Mr. Clark stated that the requested 590 squate ft. wauld be an allowable size for
an apartment but noC for a two. family dwelling. Also, the TJniform Buidling Cr�de
requiremenCs are for one room in an apartment to be 150 square ft., while a bedroom
must be 70 square feeC.
Ms. Schnabel stated the Appeal.� commission eould require more footage for rooms
in the dwelling. She yuestianed Mr. King on whether or not he could turn the
gatage entrance to have the driveway run parrel to the a11ey.
Appeals Cor�mission Meeting June 10 1980 pafiQ 2
Mr. King said he preferred not to do it that way because he would lose too much
yard space. He still preferred to set it back 20 feet from the alley.
Mr. Plemel asked if the upper level was the same square footage of the basement?
__ _____._ �, _: K�� said that it was.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded hy Ms. Gabel to close the pub2ic hearing. Upon a.
voice vote, all voting aye, Chaiiwoman Schnabel declared the public hearing closed
at 8:20 p.m.
Ms. Gabel said it was her understanding that one time the petitioner owned enough
land to do this without a square footage variance, therefore his hardship was really
self-ivaposed. "
�
Mr. Clark agreed
Mr. Bazna asked Mr. Clark if the requirments were for a double entrance. Mr. Clark
stated that one exit was required.
MOTION BY Mr. Barna, seconded by AYr. Plemel, to approve the variances as requested.
- -- - -
Ms. Gabel, and Mr. Plemel could not agree that the hardship was such that four_�
_.._ ..
variances should be granted.
Ms. Schnabel stated thatmore and mo�e people would be wanting to convert single-
family dcaeliings into two-family dwellings and that the Comn.ission would have to
adopt a policy on this issue. She also said that the cost of housir.g was so
prohibitive for many people, so that the Commission was granting more variar�=s
for ;emodeling than iC hac, flone i;� the past.
Mr. King said that he was going to school at the present time, and the unused space
in his home was being taxed. He stated that friends had encouraged hi.m to go ahead
and convert his home int6 a two-fami.ly dwelling without the Commission's approval.
However, he believed in applying Sor a variance'permit. Now, he questioned i.f he was
r i.ght .
Hr. Barna agreed that tit. King could do that, ar.d that was why he made the motion
in favor of this request so that Mr. King could do the converting legally.
UPON A VOICE VOTE ON THE MOTION THAT ALL FOUR VARIANCESnaE G� �EWO� 'Schnabell
and Barna, voting aye, Mr. Plemel and Ms. Gabel voting y,
declared the motion failed because of a tie vote.

from public right-of-way from the required 25 feet to 20 feet. UPON A VOICE VOTE,
ALL VOTING AYfi, CiIAIBWOMAN SCHNABEL DECI,ARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Clark stated that un3er the law, persons related by marxiage or blood are
permitted to live in the same house.
Mr. Schnable stated that this did not necessarily mean a separate apartment, and
the term Mother-in-I.aw apartment was not used nny more.
Chalrwoman Sclmabel sCated that there should be clarification as to whether the
housing unit should be called a Uungalow, duplex, or basement apartment. She told
Mr. King that this request would go to the City Council on the 7th of July. Pirs.
Schnabel suggested that Mr. King talk to Jerry Boardman, the City Planner, about this
property.

" Tiiey also want to build a 1 foot chimney up the outside of the new con-
struction t•;hich will be 6' from l:he e+esL- Sot line. The�_efore, the vari_ance
approval necessary to complete the constxuct,i�n is to redace the side yard
. for. living area fmm ZO feet to 7 feet and the side yard for a chzmney

no sug9ested stipulations.
Mr. Clark asked the petitioner fiow far from the Iot line the actual chimney would I
be? _ _.. _: ,
A1 Melcher ��ated that the gazage was going to be 20 feet wide by 22 feet deep, and
the problem was that there was a s� fooe easesnent on the side of the house. He
asked if he could be aJ.lowed to go 9 inches into the easement.
Mr. Clark said that I✓a. Melcher should get letters from tI}a utility companies to
extend the chimney 9 inches irito the easement. If must also be approved by the
City Council and it was the (iWUnci1 who coul.d allow the encroachment into the
utility easement if the utility companies did not object.
Mr. Melcher asked if NSP was the only utility company involved, Mr. Clark told him
that all the utility companies were involved. Mr. Melcher said that this was not
impossible, but just ahout. Chairwoman Schnabel said that the request would not

AUMItdISTRATIVE STAFP REPORT �
7677�Arthur 5tteeL N.F
YUBLIC PURPOSE S�RVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 2C5.0�3, AB, requires a minimum side.yard setback of 10 feet fc�r
living area. �
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a minimum o£ 20
feet between living areas in adjacent structures and 15 feet between
garages and living areas in adjacent structures to reduce exposure to
o�en areas around residential structures.
STATED HF�I2DSHIP:
"�de were unable to build a home with a fu>1 basement during the origina].
construction. This has created a space shortage that has limited the
£ree movement of the wheelchair in the family room and ki.tchen area." .
C.� ADMINISTRATIVE STAL'P RliVIFtti:
This same petitioner was granted a variance on rear yard setback in May
o£ 1978 (from 3h to 22 feet). It should a'lso be noted that they could
add 12' to the north.of the £amily room or 6 ieet to the east without
a variance. Also for some reason the nor.th/south dirt�en�ion of the iot
has been reduced by a 1xttLe over 1£oot {1,1!"i) Lharefore, note that
the setback off the south line is 33.4 ir.stead of the required 35 feet.
Appeals Commisaion Meetin� June 10 1980 PaRe 6
If the addition�is made it will be overlooking the rear yard of the
vacant lot to tho east, that lies only 4.5 feet away. Thercfore, it
is staff recommendation that the request be denied, or if approved, no.
windows be allowed along the etist side to maintain some deqt�e of
rear yard privacy for the lot to the east, a2so that the so�th setback
should be approved.
2gr. Clark said that he had talked to ICarla Blomberg, who is Ehe developer of the
property on the South side of this house, and she said she had no objection to the
variance being granted.
Mrs. Gunnick said thac the present 12' by 24' living area was not large enough for
tter whee2 chair to move around in, and if there were other people in the room, it
becaue tno congested.
Mrs. Kurtznolan, owner of the property to the east side of the house, said that she
did not object ta the addition to this house. Her house sits north of this house,
and her lot is over 300 feet long. �en if Mrs. Kurznolan were to split off the
south half of her property, the lot was over 100 feet wide and it was felt that
any new house could be placed so as not to be bothered by this addition. (The new
lot would be approxi.mately 150' x 100').
Mrs. Karla Blomberg spoke in favor of the addition and showed the Commission members
the house plans.
Mrs. Sc'nnabel asked if the proposed addition �:ould be appoximately the same size
of the existing deck? Mrs. Gunnick said it would be as wide (22') bur would be
about 2 feet shorter:
Mrs. Schnabel asked if the trees growing behind the deck, and serving as a screen
from the property to the east, were on the lot line. Mrs. Gunnick said yes, they
were on the property line.
Mrs. Schnabel asked Mr. Clark if, in view of the comments of the neighboring
property owners, the staff would withdraw their objections?
Mr. Clar[c r•eplied that yes, the objection would be withdrawn, especially in
light of the large lot size of the property to the east.

1. PUHLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP �680-OS BY
REYNOLD E, SWANSON: Extension of a Special Use Permit to continue
as a mobile home sales lot, on the West 375 feet of Lot 3, A.S. iF89,
subject to street and utility easement oveY the West 40 feet, per
Section 205.101, 3, N, of the Fridley City Code, Che same being
7151 Highway �k65 N.E.
I�TION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Ms.Hughes, to open the public hearing.
on SP �k80-OS by Reynold E. Swanson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Chairman Harris declared the public hearing open at 7:35 p.m.
Mr. Boardman stated that this was brought to the City Council and then the
Planning Coumission in May. At that time, it was determined by the Planning
Coumission that a new special use permit be applied for and that a public
hearing be conducted. This has been done and this item has c�e back to
the Planning Commission for action.
PLANNING COP4ffSSI0N MEETING, JUNL 18, 1980 PAGE 2
Mr. Harris explained that the reason this was brought back to the Planning
Coum�3ssion was because it appeared that the special use permit had expired,
according to the expiration date,and also because there were some modifications
that should have been made within the context of the special use permit.
Mx'. Harris asked Mr. Swanson if he would like to make a statement.
Mr. Swanson stated he has tried to operate within the City laws and guidelines
for-the past eight years, and he will continue to do so. If there have been
any problems, he has aever heard about them, and he has been complimented by
the City for some of the things that he has done such as plantings, shrubbery,
etc.
Mr. Boardman stated that Staff has reviewed this and sees no problems.
Mr. Swanson has done everything he was supposed to do within the stipulations
of the special use permit. He would reco�end that the Planning Co�ission
grant the special use pexmit and not put in any stipulations of review on the
special use permit.
Mr. Boardman stated the question the Planning Caanm�ission had previously was
whether the permit should expire or whethez it should be handled with a review
process. The difference is that if they make the statement to have the special
use permit expire, the applicant has to reapply and the neighbors have to be
notified. On a review situation, no public hearing is required, and the special
use permit would be reviewed every five years.
MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Ms. Hughes, to close the public.hearing
on SP ��80-OS by Reynold E. Swanson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Chairman Harris declared the public hearing closed at 7:40 p.m.
Mr. Treuenfels stated he did not concur that there be no stipulations on the
special use permit. He felt a periodic review of the special use permit would
be beneficial and five years migfiE be an appropriate time period.
Ms. Hughes stated that the only thing that could be reviewed is whether or
not the operation was still sale of mobile homes. Since that is the only
thing the special use permit is granted for, it would get reviewed automatically
if there was a change in that use. Unless they were going to review other
people's special use permits, she did not like the idea of reviewing this
operation just to see how well it was doing. She disagreed with the need for
a periodic review, because the special use permit would be automatically
reviewed if there was a change in the special use.
PLANIVING COI�ICSSION MEETING, JUNE 18, 1980 PAGE 3
Mr. Oquist stated he also did not think a review process was necessary. If
they were to go with a review process, he was not sure that five years would
be the right timing to coincide with lease periods.
Mr. Boardman stated that if there is a violation of the special use permit,
other than what is clearly listed on the special use permit, it can be brought
back at any time and that special use pexmit can be removed.
Ms. Hughes stated she understood Mr. Langenfeld's motion to be the granting
of the special use permit to the property for the use of a mobile hame sales
lot and nothing else.
Mr. Langenfeld stated that was correct.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, HARRTS, LANGENFELD, OQUIST, HUGHES, AND WHARTON VOTING AYE,

Mr. Harris thanked Mr, Swanson for coming and stated this would go before
City Council on July 7, 1980,
2. RECEIVE MAY 27, 1980, ENERGY CONIMLSSION NffNUTES:
MOTION by Mr. Wharton, seconded by Mr, Treuenfels, to receive the May 27, 1980,
Energy Co�ission minutes.
Mr. Wharton stated he would like to point out some important items in the
minutes. On page 5, item 4, the Energy Commission discussed solar access.
He stated that this past week, the City of Minneapolis adopted a solar access
ordinance. Mr. Wharton stated that the Energy Co�ission would be looking at
various sources of solar ordinanee model material.
Mr. Wharton stated that on page 6, item 5, the Energy Commission had a
discussion regarding identifying energy management within the husinesses and
corporations in the City of Fridley. The discussion included the Energy
Co�ission's question about what exactly was the duty of the Energy Co�ission
in that regard and what route should be taken to identify these people.
Mr. Boardman was present at that meeting, and Mr. Boaxdman had suggested that
an Energy Co�ission member attend a Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors'
meeting to discuss this subject. Don Wall will he attending that meeting with
Mr. Boardman.
Mr. Wharton stated that on page 7, item 6, they divided the Zoning Ordinance
into five sections to be reviewed by the Energy Co�ission. They will be
reviewixtg those sections at the next meeting.
Mr. Treuenfels stated tttat on page 8, Ms, Cayan had stated that an "Emergency
Plan" has been prepared and can be activaked bq the Civil Defense Director,
Jim Hill. He asked if it would be possible to get a copy of that plan.
Mr. Boardman stated he did not know if this plan had even been approved by
the City Council, but he waild check into it.

I�TION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Langenfeld, to receive the June 10, 1980,
Co�uniCy Development Commission minutes.
Mr. Oquist stated the Commission members had wondered about the status of
condominium conversions.
Mr. Boardman stated the State of Minnesota has a new law on condominiums.
He thought the direction the City may be taking is the setting up of what
they wi.11 call a condominium zone, maybe an R-5 zone. This would mean that
any change of an existing unit to a condw�inium would have to be rezoned.
Through the rezoning process, they could control condominium conversion.

MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels, to receive the
,Tune 10, 1980, Appeals Co�ission minutes.
Mr. Boardman stated that on page 1 there was a request for a variance to
allow a one-family dwelling to be converted to a two-family dwelling by
building an apartment unit in the basement. The Appeals Cou�ission denied
the request for the variance, but suggested that th3s idea be reviewed by
the Planning Coum�ission at some point in time. Mr. Boardman stated he had
talked to Ms, Schnabel about this subject. He stated this will probably be
an issue in the near future. They will need to decide whether they want to
look at increased densities within single family dwellings, because it is
going to happen.

Ms. Hughes stated she saw this as a transition between co�ercial and
residential, and she would think they would want the CR-1 District regulations
closer to the residential district than the cnmmercial district in terms of
stringency.
Mr. Boardman stated that any zone that comes up to a residential zone is
going to have to meet certain standards, so the standarda are protection
for the residential. If an industrial district abuts a residential district,
there are "x" amount of setback requirements, landscaping requirements,
protection of parking, and loading and unloading areas that are away from
residential.
Ms. Hughes stated she understood that, but she also understood the CR-1
district might be one or two lots and could be surrounded by R districts.
PLANNING COM•flSSION MEETING, JUNE 18, 1980 PAGE 6
Mr. Boardman stated that most of the CR-1 districts are either close to
conmercial or close to intersections. He stated that the commercial regula-
tions are more stringent than the residential regulations.
Mr. Harris stated he felt they have endeavored to protect the residential
districts in all zones, and he felt they had co�itted themselves to that
a long time ago wi.th the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Hughes stated that was her concern--that they make sure they carefully
protect the residential districts, and if that means making them aloser to
a C district, that is what she intended.

205.18 M-1 DISTRICT REGULATIONS
Mr. Harris stated that it seemed the only difference between the M-1 and M-2
Districts was the lot size. It did not make much sense to have both districts.
Mr. Boardman stated he did not like having two districts and thought they could
create one industrial district with a 3/4 acre 1oY size. The limit of 3/4
acre lot size would have some control on the plat size. After that, a company
could buy one or two lots depending upon the size of the building and the
parking they would need.
MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Mr. Wharton, to eliminate the M-2 District
and have only an M District. A11 special uses currently under M-2 would be
handled with a special use permit under the new M District.
