PLANNINC WI�[�tISS'f.ON Ml'sG7'I2;G�J11LY 23Z 1980 PAGI3 2
Mr. Boardman stated t:hnt Mr, iierrir.lc felt this was the only way oi handlin�
a second acces:ory building, becausc it was iLlegal Co construct a garage on ��
__ ______ _: s's_1oL that did not have a main stxucture. The only way L-o do iL is thr.ough
a;pecial use permil', Uut' L-ie the L'wo 7.ots as one lot which wou7.d require a
Iot spJ.it Ucf.urc Tix. Christenson could sell off any part of the properhy.
N`,r, liarris asked i£ there was anyone in the audience who wished to make a
statement concexning tiiis item. As no one responded, Mr. Harris stated th�t
the Planniug Commissi.on woulcl not reopen the pubLic hearing.
Mr, Harr.is stated he had thought. long aud hard about this and had loolced at
the area. He could endexstand the petitioaer's desire to build a second _.
accessorp bi�ilding aad could also understand the neigl�bors' concerns that the
second accessory building might: be used for auto body r.epair or repair of
automobiles, also tiiat it might• be used as a nelghborhaod sales lot. lle
ste.red that if the Com:;�ission does'recommend approval. of this special use
permit, tie te2t same stipulations should go with the rcccYnmendation that wouid
resC-rict the vse of L'hat building.
kis. Hvghes erated that sanething similar had happened in her neighborhood
t.�ZCre a nei�hl�or eapauded a two-car garage to a iour-car garage to do auto
repair, and it has not been. a problem as long as tl�e garage door is kept_closed.
In most instances in these kinds of neighborhooa,, s}re was convinced tliat the
naise �ind genexal, appearance coul.d be contro't:Ied, but: she was not in favor
oE sprci.�.l use Yennits al.l L-hc time. The Plannin� Commissi.on seems L'e be�-
a 7ot of i:lie�a. She :;tated•L-hat it seemed L'tiey migtxC Ue doing the acighocrhoal
a iavor hy a1loo�ing this special use permiL- t� get some of the vehicles under
a roof. _
Ms, Gahel sY.ated she a;reed with Ms. Hughes. It was her feeling that this
caas a nice neighborhood and it might Ue to the neighbors` advantaoe to get
the vehzcles out of sig'ht. Repairing cars is'not an allotaed use in that
neighborhood; and if that is happening, it can Ue resolved on a coTplaint
basis.
Mr. Iiarris stated that the Cwimi.ssion can make that stipulation so tlxat tfie
, . neight�ors and Mr. Christenson laio�a tfiat t�e buildiitg is being buiZt strictly
fo'r stoxage and not for a home. occupation oE automo��ile repair or that type
of thing. • '
Pir. Wiia�ton sl'ated that at the last meeti.ng,.one af the neighUors had indicaCed
that there were "too many garage sales:" l�e stated that would be a liard thing
Co re�ulate, but it was a nei�l:bor's concern <�c2d he wanted to bring it up.
Ms. }Iushes asl:ed P1r. Christenson if he had goL-t:en aiiy legal advice on this
procediire .
Mr. Christr.nson stated he h1d not, buL- he cals not i.nl'er.ested in the special

request.
UPON A VOICE VOT�, ALL VOTING AYE, CNAIRMAN AAitP.IS DECLARED TEIE MOTION CARRIIiD
UiVANT�IOUSLY .
Mx. Boardman stat2d that, as discussed at tfie last Planning Commission -�...
meeCing, Christensen Auto Body is a non-confonning operation according to
the present zoning code. The zoning at the present i-ime is CR-1, and
Mr. Christensen's operation is only allocoed itx a C-2 zone and only �aith a
special use permit. The parking lot just north o� the property, �ahich
T�. Christensen owns, is zoned R-3, and a parking lot is.also not allcwed in
an R-3 zonc on a nnn-con£orming use. Any use of this property is an expansfon
of- a non-conformin� use and ie againsL• the zoning code to expand a non-
conforming use. To continue his operation or continue use of thab parking
lot, Mr. Christensen must get rezoning of Lot 21 from CR-1 to C-2 and of
Loes 22, 23, and 2�f from R-3 to C-2, and then a special use permit Lo operate
on that C-2 zoned lot.
Air, Zouis Nasfi, 6509 East River Road, 'stated that lie was the property owt.°r
next to the i�:ree open lots that Mr. Cl?rister,aen wanterl to turn into a par?: ng
lot. ile had nv compiaints about Iir. Chris;:er..�en or his work or his workers,
but he did not' thittk a resiulentzal area should have a liody shop, especially
a J.a�tge one. He al:so had many questions concerning pollution control, n�ise,
c�ust of auto body t��ork, and fumes. idith �•necked autos, there are the hazards
of tontaminates in the parking lot, either goiag down the secaer or into
adjoining properties, eatiag up the pavement and creating a fire hazard.
P'Lr. Har.ris asked Mr. Chpistensen if he caould address Mr. Nash's concerns.
Mr. Christensen stated that as far as pollutants and chemicals, there are
a lat of chemicals involved in zuto body repair. The I'ridley Fire Dept. was
at his business that day regarding the updating o£ anytlii.ng that might Ue
needed, and everyLhing was satis£actory. He sL'ated thi� could �e verified
[aiCh 23ob Aldrick of the Fire DepL'. As far as air purif-i.cation, he has an
electronic air purifie'r that is big, enough to hand7.e the size of the building
he o�ans. As Sar as filtering outsicic, he has not had ai�y complai^.ts regarding
eahaust fiom both neigitbors living next door oi• neighUor.s docm the line.
Ms. Hughes asked Tir. Christensen if he had agmed to,a landscaping plan or
if he had prepazed one.
Mr. Christensen stated he has discussed this with Mr. Boardu�an, and he is
in agreement wit-h any landscaping thaT. needs t:o be done.
Pis. Hughes asl:ed bir. Christensett if Le could operatc L-hc bu�iness ii hc had
the rezoning without Ucing able to have access onto Mi.ssissippi St.

I'LANNING COMMISSIOPI t'It,ETING, JUt.Y 23, 19Y,0 YAGE 5
Mr. Christensen st-aLed that aL- thc presenC time, ito, because L-he overhead
�doors goiug into Lhe building arc on Mississippi St,
__ . __.. _ _ _.____ .__.
Ms. Hughes asked how he wou]:d handlc �sing the cloor onto Mississippi St. and
then storing cars in the bacic lot--how would they gel• to the back lot?
Mr. Christensen seated ehere is a drive«�y letting him in off Miss;Cssippi �
into the building ana there i.s also a drivecaay into the parking lol- on the
other side. ZL would involve pulling out onto Mississippi and coroing aroun3
and id on �ast River Road. The only cther wsy coould be to put an overhead
door into tlte back of the building to allow access out L-o the parl:ing lot
that way, and that could be done.
Ms. Hug$es asked if- he could run the operation witH the doors closed at all
times.
Mr. Chr.istensen stated they do keep the doors closed during the Frinter, but
do not in the summer because of the heat.
Ptrs. I,anger, 6530 Hickory St. N.E., sl'ated that on behal£ of Mr, F.dzaard Brooks,
6506 Hickory St. N.li., caho could not Ue present, he had indicated that he was
not opposed to Mr. Christensen's present- operation or the noise or pollution.
He objected somewhat the rezoning to C-2, because of the fact- that if
Mr. Christeus�n. sold the propey:ty, some other form oi business, such as a
restaurant, Chat-the neighborhood would not like could go in there. Pir. Brooks
had also stated he would not like an apartment Uuilding L'here.
Ms. Hughes stal•ed that the Uui1t electronic air purifier. Mr. Christensen
had referred Co was an electrost-aCic precipitator �nd handles just particulates
or dust and grobably has a very good ei£icieney, but doe5 not do anything ior
fumes and hydro-carbon solvent's such as Mr. N�sh was concerned aUout.
Ms. Gabel asked if Mr. ChrisL-ensen had any future plans for expansion.
Mr. Christensen stnted he would like to add 20 f.eet to the back of the
Uvilding for office and storage. It caould not involve aclding any stalls to
the operation. It �aould involve puttino an overhead door in the center
througii to L-he other side of the lot so Chey can set iram the shop out into
the parking area. The.office would Ue in front and the storage in back and
through the middle would be a hallcaay �ahere the cars would get through into
the parking lot.
Bis. Gabel asked how many cars would be parlced in tlie loL- at one time and
how long did it takc to process thaC amount of clrs? '
Mr. Christenscu staked thaC, at the most, there mi�ht Ue 15-20 caxs in the
parlcing lot'. They Lry to schedule Che repair oL cars Tfonday through rriday
so that mosL o£ the cars nre ouL by Friday, There would usually be no more
ehan six caLS i.n the par.ki.ng ].ot on tlie weelcend,'two oI which 1re ]iis cars.

Pfrs. I.angcr ,tated she felt they should be very-equitalale l'o thc peoplc
invalved, because aIl of them bought.homes knoaing the Uody shop was Chere,
and they had no objection at that timc. In faitness to Mr. Christensen; ------
he had upgraded the business considerably, and she did not thinlc they should .
be dui.ng things to put hi.m cut. of t�usiness. Ilo�aever, they should consider
the fact L-hat if t4r. Christensen sho�ld sell, they would aoL' want the pro�erty
rezoned to C-2 where they could geL- some business in there that the neighUor-
hood.would not want.
Mr. Iiarris asked ii there was some way that Mr.. Chriscensen could continue
to operate his business in the present' size boilding and use the area to the
norCh as a parking lot under R-3 zoning without changing the zoning.
Mr.. Boardman stated he can use F-3 zoned property wit•h a special use permit,
but there i.s Che question L'hat- by the use o€ thzt R-3 zone, would Mr. Christensen
be expan<ling a non-couforming business? The only way t4r', Boardman felt he
would be allowed to do that is t-o rez.one the.corner prapert-y where the buildirg
is located to a C-2 zone and then a11ow the use of the adjacent R-3 property
with a special use permit. The problem with restricting the C-2 yroperty to
1ust the corner lot is that they are r.estricti.ng azly expansion possibilities
for Mr. Christensen and would also be crcating a substandard C-2 lot.
Mr. Harris asked Mre Cizristensea if he had thought of any alternate use for
the property, oY.her than the auto body re�air.
- Mr. Christensen stated he had not. Auto body repair is his pr.ofession and
he fele wetZ qvaliiied i:� �nat' profession. He stated lie tries to re:n a good,
clean sl�op. Re is not looking at se7ling the property but ji�st making a living
for himself. '
Ms. Nash asked if the property could be taudsca�ed at,�ay from their property
so that no transmission oil:s, etc., would seep into their progerty.
Mr. Christensen stated tliat, yes, that could be done.
Mr. Nash stated he did not think an 8-ioot fence was conducive to a residenL-ial
area.
P3r. Chr.istensen suggesl-ed that the 8-foot fence be put in the back half
where the cars would be parked and the iront half could be all landscaped.
Across the street at the Spu7� Station, they had dropped the fence down to
a 3-foot hez�ht in the ircnt area so thaC Lfie residents did not fe.e1 l:ilce
they caere lool:ing at solid �aall.
A1r. Boardman stated he had no proUlem caiCh that. Theii main requirement is
that a11 parlciizg has to be screened irom a differ`enL zone, based on city code.
How much screeuing could be det'ermined by the Planning Cowroission.

Ms. liughes sL-ated she was sornewhat reluctanl- L'o votc for rezoning in a block
-""' � wl5ere everytliing;is residentinl, �and it �
..eemed sensiUlc Co Leavc Lots 22, ,
and 24 as an R-3 area. In l.00kin� ati L-he properties on the four corners of
ChaC'intersectlon, it was not. out oi character Co lcave �hat corner loe
commercial in some foxv�. It would seem to her very possible for this property
L-o become a lot more aL-tractive ior ot'her uses than an auto body, once rezoned.
Iiowever, she did nol- see any good way out of thc dilenana oi putting it all into
• one kind of zoning. If she lived in that area, she would raLher see it not
rezoned, but she did not get that- feeling from most of Che neigl�bors. Therc
are certainly noise impacts and visval impacCS jnst by the clzaracter of D7ississippi
•and East River Road at that point. Fast P,iver Road is a major highway at' that °°
' po3nt and not particularly conduci've'to residenL'iai uses. She thought Lhere
taas some �ood raGionale for rezoning, 6ut the impacE oct that property is going
to cooie ��hen the pxoperty is sol.d for sane othex use.
Ms. Gabel.stated she heard [he neigl�bors saying it was no problem witih an
auCo body repair shop, but were concerned aUout r.ezoning and what could happen
down Lhe line, She was concerne.d about that, too. Also, it was really a spot
rezoning, an expansion of a non-conforming use.
Pfr. Harris stated he has loolced over the buildi_ng quite extensi.vely. lie stated
lie could not vote ior rezoning to C-2 for the r.eason that rezoning to C-2
would probzbly solve the i�nm�diate pro3ler.i, but they )iave ta look at the
ultimale impact on the surrounding neighUorhood. The rest of that block i�.
zoned R-3. As much as he would like to see Pfr. Chr.istensen havc a thriving
busir.ess, he could not vote for r.ezoni.ng, Uecause it c�ces not fi.t with the
character of the rest of the neighborhood.

Chairman Harris declared L-he public hearing open at 9:29 p.m. ""
Mr. Boardman seated khis special use permit is for fihe auto body operation.
In order to aLlow the use of Lots 2?_, 23, and 24, which are zoned R-3, two
special use permits are going to Ue needed--one to a11ow Lot 'L1 to be used '
as an auYO Uody repair shop and one to a11ow parki.ng on Lots 22, 23, and 24.,
Mr. Harris asked i_f there were any sLipulations �eith the use of L-he building
that the Conunission should be concerned about such as a filteri.ng system?
rls. Ituglies state3 she did not think so with the size of this building. The
only th.i_zeg she would expect is that if PSr. Christensen opens up a door to the
paxki.i� 1oC, there mi�ht t�e scme need �or t:t�erri to require any future door on
tii� north sida to be closed at all tin;es, SYie di.d not see any prcUlem cith
leaving the Mi.ssissippi Si'. door. open, because that does not naw and is iiot
lilcel.y tc impact the neigl�bo�hcod in texms oE noise.
rtr. Boardrnan stated that since the first special use permit is restricted
only to Lot 21, it would require pir. Christensen to do some landscaping on
Lot 21. Another L-hing that should be c:onsidered at Y.his time is Uikec.�ay/

Avenue Pi.C. (vacated, ordinance'371), City View,.to make a new building
site, the same being 5750 3rd Sereet IQ.�.
Mr. Boardman stated the problems they are having wiGh this is thaC back i:n
1957, the City vacated the street right-oi-way Uut"left the utilities and
drainage across the whole 33 feet of vacated st�eet. In t-.he staff review of
this request, they came across that and told rlr. Jonak that in order to
apgrove the lot split, he caould also have to get a vacaL-ion on those utility
easements. They have tallced to Engineeri_ng, and Gngineering sees no problems
in vacating tho:e easement areas as there are no utilities in thaC 33 £eet.
Hotaever, Staff would like thaL' vacat-zon done to go along �aith the l�t spizt.
Mr. Boardman 5taeed L'hat therc are presently n.o utilitics on 3rd Street arni
ihe only utilities availaUle to thaL- property are on 57t1i Place. I�`.r. Jonak
osans LoL-s 4, 5, and 6 to L'he sout-h and easements would have to be dedicated
off those lots to a11ow uL'ility easements to.geL' up to that new lot to build.
Mr. fio�rdman stated hi.s recommendation �aould be to continue the lot split
request until the vacation of utilities is apglied for.
Mr. Jonak st-ated he would like to submit the request- that the utili*y ease=
ment retained by the City be vacated ar,d t1iaC the vacation fee be waiv�d.
. Pir. S�oardman stated this request would have to Ue submitted to the City '

MEMO DATE: June 18, 19II0 .
RE: Comprehensive Plan - Implementation Section Draft
According to the requirements of the hietrvpolitan Land Planning Act
(M.S. 473.II59, Subdivision 4.), the City of Fridley shall inciude an
Implementation Sec�ion in its Comprehensive Plan. The Implementation
Section must be in at least such detail as may be necessary to establish
existing or potential effects on or departures from m�tropolitan system
plans and to protect metropolitan system plans. The Impiementation See-
tion shall 'consist of three major sections: „
1) Official Controls = addressing at least tfie matters of zoning
� an subdivision. . .. .
2) Capital Improvement Program - for tran�portation> sewers> parks �.
and open space facilities. -
3} Housing Imp7ementation Pr•oqr�am - including official controls
to impiement the housing element of th� Land Use Plan, which
will pr•ovide sufficient existing and new housing to ^�eet the
loca� unit's stiare of the Metropol°.�an area need for low and mod-
erate income housjng.
The attache.d draft Implementation Section has been prepared in ac-
cordance with this statue. We shoul�! initiate review of this section as
soon as possible so it can be sent ta adjoining communities and eventuatly
Metropolitan Council for review. • -

The purpose of the Implementation Section is to describe how the
goa}s, objectives, and policies of this plan will 6e carried out. The
nucleus of this section consists of 1) regulations, 2) provision of
public facilities, and 3} housing programs. A major requirement of the
Metropolitan Land Planning Act �s that an Implementation Section not
substantially depart from the metropolitan system plans. However, be-
• yond the Land Planning Act requirements are important local considera- __ ..
tions for plan implementation. Effective plan implementation is not
just a program to carry out the plan, 6ut is a basis for continuing
local development decisions using the reasoning in the plan.
It must b2 kept in mind that a comprehensive plan provides direc-
tion for solving problems and dea7ing with change. plan implementation
means using the plan for future decisions and adjusting the plan if
� future conditions arrticipated do not occur. The following section de-
scribes the ordinances, regulations and programs which the City of Fridley
should adopt or participate in as a means of implementing the goals, ob-
jectives and policies of this plan. This chapter addresses the following
sections of the comprenensive p1an:
* Land Use {including an environmentaT resource protection element)
* Housing (programs to provide low and moderate cost housing op-
portunities} �
* Parks and Open Space (capital impro4ements)
* Transportation {capital improvements)
* Water, Sewer, and Solid Waste (capital improvements)

LAND USE
1�
One of the main themes of the Land Use Plan was that the City
should develop a process of evaluation and a system o�' priorities to
base land use decisions on. Policies have 6een developed in this plan
to guide evaluatian and determine priorities. The City's use of these
'' policies,and its existing framework will �ombine to form a decision-
making process that will be responsive to changing conditions. Through
, this .system, the City wil7 be better able to ensure appropriate future
' land use combinations.
No direct land use changes are shown in the Proposed Land Use
Plan. This is mainly the result of the City's desire to use the above
mentioned evaluation process and system of priorities. However, some
co�nercial and industrial lands were identified in the Housing Plan as .
having the potential to.meet our projected housing needs. These land
parcels will be rezoned only after petition of the landowner and the
proper. evaluation process by the City. �
2oning Code
The zoning cade is presently 6eing revised so as to reflect the
palicies as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
The zoning code will go through an evaluation process similar to
that of zoning changes. Many changes will be made to the code where
unnecessary requirements exist for site development. In addition, the
code will be strengthened where necessary to further compatibility with
adjacent land use and the environment. _
Environmental Ordinances, Regulations, and Programs �

The Metropolitan Land Planning-Act of 1976 requires local-govern-
ments in the Metropo7itan Area to describe in the housing element of
their comprehensive plan a housing strategy for providing housing oQ-
' portunities to meet existing and projected housing needs: Two categories
are to be included: (1) opportunities for low and moderate-income house-
holds and (2) opportunities for modest-cost housing. According to 41et-
� ropolitan�Council population and 6ousehold size projections, it is fore-
casted that Fridley will realize a growth in households of 1,859 by 1990.
The data below reveals the household needs in FridTey:

Providing For Projected Nousehold Growth .
Providing for projected household growth will involve a number of �
efforts by the City of Fridley. 6asically, it �rilt involve allowing the �
needed housin9 to be built as it is demanded. The major role of the City �
in meeting projected household demand will be to encourage land use op-__ ____.___
portunity for housing. Since the City has little land left zoned resi- �
dential, it should determine v�hich additional lard is suitable for resi- !
dential development. In response to the need for additional lands, ihe !
City has developed policies to: 1} re-evaluate its present land use ;
zoning to determine if more land should be made available for residential �
development and 'L) e�courage petitions for residential rezoning of in- �
dustrial development. Lands that have been found suitable for residentiai �
development are shown in figure 4-3 on Qage'4-17. These lands, if devel- ,
. oped properly, could satisfy fridley's projected household growth.
Providing Low and Moderate Income Housin ' •
To date, the City of Fridley has:undertaken numerous housing pro-
grams to provide low and moderate income housing opportunities. �These
programs are revealed in the Housing Inventory-Section. (See page 4-10.)
Although these programs have been very successful in providing low_and
'moderate income housing, the Metropolitan Council projects the need to
provide additional low and moderate income opportunities to�obtain "fair
share" goals.
The City's strategy to provide these additional law and moderate
income housiny opportunities is two fold. T��e City will first expand
existing programs wnen it is desirable and has the resources to do so.
Secand, the City will use programs that become availab7e and are accept-
able�to the community. -
The Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA} and City
Council will continue to be major decision-making bodies regarding hous-
ing issues. Along with the advisory power of ttie Planning Co�mission, the
Fridley HRA and City Council constitute a decision-making process that
' will cortinue to be sensitive to changing housing needs and programs.
Programs and strategies presently available to the City are given below:
i. .federal Community Development Block 6rant (CDBG) - The City will
. pursue additionai CDaG funds when they are availabte and when
'. Fridley qualifies. Past CDBG funds were used for rehabilitation
grants to low and moderate income households. In addition, these
. funds were used to establish a housing maintenance code for apart-
ment units. ' ,
2 Community 0evelopment Block Grant (Bonus}/ Section 235 - The
City is presently using this program to make land available to
build five low and moderate income housing units for large fam-
ilies. The C9ty will continue to use programs like this as avail-
' able to provide housing opportunities for large families.
3. Tax Increment Financin - The City presently has a tax increment
• istrict set up to acquire lands for redevelopment. Housing
units for low and moderate income will be stron9ly considered
with this redevelopment. Additional tax increment districts
22
may be pursued for housing development ia the future.
4. Zoning C.ode Revision - The City is in the process of revising
�its zoning code to reduce some of the unnecessary requirements
for housing: construction. The revised code will allow for a
diversity of housing types. It provides for changes such as
density, unit size and lot size. In addition, the Planned De-
' velopment (PD) district will be revised to make it more workable
� and useable for today's changing cpnditions.
5. 5ection 8 Existing - The City presently has 103 contracts under
_ this program and will expand when morey is available.
6. Section 8 New Construction - This program has been successful
in the past and the City w;ll seek to use it again. Where pos-
----- -- sible and consistent with this plan, the City will facilitate
, the efforts. of priyate developers to build additional Sec: 8 Nevr
Construction units. .
Providing Modest Cost Hnusing Opportunities
The fio7lowing are steps the City will take to provide modest cost
- housing opportunities.
1) Zoning Code Revision - The City's efforts to revise its zoning
code wi11 greatly facilitate construction of modest cost housing units.
Many of the recommendations of the Advisory Standards for Land Use Re-
ulation will be impl�mented. As mentioned before, the Planned Develop-
ment PD) district regulations will be revised to make it more workable
and useabte. �
2) Streamline The Approvai Process - The City has already made steps
to streamline the approval process. The process is clearly defined so a
developer knows exactly what is expected ofi him to get approval. Steps
to further streamline the approval process, as outTined in �4etropolitan
Council's Streamlininq the Housing Developrnent Appraval Process - 1979,
witl be considered 1n the future.
3) Local Housing Bon�_Program - When conditions become favorable, the
City will,initiate a sing e family mortgage revenue bond program. These
efforts should bring about many opportunities for modest incbme households.
J
Maintenance Rehabilitation and�Redevelopment .. . _
The City will continue to improve and expand programs that contri-
bute to m�intenance, rehabilitation and redevelopment of its housing stock.
Poiicies currently reflect continuing enforcement of its "Nousing Main-
tenance Code". Revision of the Housin9 Maintenance Code may be advanta-
geous now that it has been in affect and limitations are known. In ad-
dition, policies direct tfiat this code be examined to see if the City
should include mandatory inspection of single family units at the time of
sale.
; 23 .
Support for Fridley's Housing Resource Center will continue. Even- �
tually a section dealing strictly with energy will be created. '
An inspection method is already established within the City. This
method and the related planning processes have and will continue to lo-
cate blight in the City. Neighborhood Strategy Areas (NSA's) have been
designated as a result of planning and inspection efforts. Strategies
to seE these areas up as redevelopment areas will be considere.d. Tax
increment financing for housing could be a toal used.

_. ____.. _ . -- - ___ _._ _- --. _ _ PARKS & OPEN SPACE
Improvements for the City's �arks are �iescribed in the Fridley
Parks & 0 en S�ace Plan. This plan is currently being revised to in-
clu e an updated capita] improvement list and development schedule.
. These improvements will be annually proposed for funding an�i construc-
tion by the Parks and Recreation Commission through the City Director
of Parks, Recreation & Natural P.esources. Where improvements are the
� , responsibility of other levels of government, the City will cooperate ---
with their efforts to facilitate development.
Potential funding sources for proposed improvements include the
following: ' . _
* Land and Water Conservation (LAWCQN) Funds
* State Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR)
Program
* Local Bond Issue
* Comnun�ty �eve7opment Biock Gran� (CD6G) Program ..
These funding sources will be sought as they become available.
The City has been particularly successful in obtaining LAWCON and LCMR
�funds. This success was largeZy due to the City's past efforts to pro-
vide low and moderate income hous9ng. The City received �20Q,00 in 1979
� from these sources to acquire land for a Community Park. In 1980, the
City was awarded $166,000 for development of�the park. --

All major improvements to the.transportation system in Fridley are
under the jurisdiction of Federal, State and/or County governments. Re-
sponsibility for designing, constructing; and funding those improvements
is not with the City of Fridley. However, the City of Fridley will re-
view•all plans and offer comments on programs to improve facilities lo- .
cated within their baundaries.
Modifications to Interstate 694 are already underway while plans
to make East River Road safe are in the making.' City staff will continue
to comment upon the design and effects of these roadways to ensure that
the i.nterests of the City are protzcted. The City will continue to sup-
port programs to screen all roadways in Fridley 'for visual quality and
noise abatement �i.e. landscaping earthen berms, and noise wallsj.
LOCAL STREET SYSTEM
Fridleys local street system is, for the most part, completely
developed. However, new street projects may occur as vacant land is
subdivided and developed. The locatior. and design of the street will
6e dete�mined Chrough the platting process. Final design and construc-.
tion is the responsibility of the Public Works Qepartment. Cost for the
street wiil be assassed to the property owners adjacant to the project.

Since 1969, the_City has implemented a program to repave and install -
� curb and gutter to Fridley's existing substandard strdets. This program ?`t
was intended to have all city streets up to standard by the year 1979. •'
The schedule for the improvements were outlined in the City of Fridley's
five Year Capital Improvements Program - 1977 - 1982. 7his Program wi71
be annuallv�reviewed and revised to adjust to changing conditions:

WATER, SEWER AND SOLID WASTf ' �.
WATER SYSTEM
As noted in the City of Fridley's Five Year Capital Improvement
. Program > 1977 - 1982, the water system in Fridley is fully built. The
present system proyides a fully uniform wates• pressure throughout the
City. On7y minor lateral lines remain to be constructed in undeveloped
, areas. Such lines will be financed through tax assessments to the.bene-
fitting property owners. These assessments•will be in accordance with
established City assessment policy.
SEWER
Sanitary Sewers
The City's sanitary sewer system is presently complete. According
to the City of Fridley's Five Year Capital Improvement Program - 1972 - 1982,
only maintenance activities remain. In 1973, a Comprehensive Sewer Plan
was completed. The plan concluded that with the construction of various
trunk sc�er extensions and relief sewer:, Fridley's existing sanitary
sewer system will have the capacity to handle anticipated sewage fiows.
The construction schedule of the trunk sewers and relief se�vers were antici-
pated by 1975. All four facitities were to be constructed as parts of one
project. Timing of constructian would be dependent upon funding for the
project. •
The April 1978 Supplement to the January 1973 Comprehertsive Sewer Plan
found that sewer extensions to divert sewage flow in sub-distr�cts l3 and
11-1 fram Service Area 1 to Service Area 2 were completed. The study fur-
ther found that the diversion of fl,ow from Service Area 1 to Service Area 2
for sub-districts l and 7 should be done prior to or at such time as over-
loading of the sanitary sewer collection system may dictate. The overload-
.ing of.this system is not anticipated for some time.and will be monitared
as the City further developes: '
� Storm Orain
The majority of the City is presently equipped with sufficient storm
sewers to effectively handle the runoff from existing streets. What re-
mains are {1) minor storm sewer additions as the remaining unimproved
streets are completed, (2} encasement of existing_drainage ways for future _
development, and (3) storm sewers necessary to accomodate future subdivision
development. These remaining improvements will be assessed to the benefit-
. tiag properties. Scheduling of these improvements will depend on the timing
of development in the CiCy.
27
Future capital improvemeats may be done to the City's.storm drain
-- --system after additional studies. The City will participate in the
Metropolitan Council's study of nonpoint source pollution. In addition,
the C9ty wi71`undertake studies of their own to measure the effects of
runoff on Spring Brook, Stoney Brook, and Oak Glen Greek. �
Solid Waste •
'No capital impr�vements are planned by the City of Fridley for
— solid waste disposal. However, support for the City's Recycling Center
witl continue. When the City sees that a solid waste program is within
their capability and wi)7 benefit the residents of Fridley, it will use
capital expenditures to establish the program.

Ms. Kaj:lahan stated that in terms of an ordinance, there are two approaches:
quan�itati:ve and aan-quantitative. She stated Fridleg was on its way_toward
___�-
a quantitative ordinance which is_an ordinance that sets very specif3c deciBel
limits. With a quantitat4ve ordinance; there are sti11 nuisance prroblems that
'they wil! want to maintain in Che osdinance, because the enforcement o£ some
of them lends itself only to the nuisance approach. There wfll be some quanti-
- tative prohibitions and<some specific s.ource proh3bitions such� as motor veh3cles,
snowmobiles, mctorboats, etc. The CiCy can'site as many sources as they feel
are.reasonable.
Ms. KaLlahan stated tha@ Mr. D�blon had given fier a copy of Lhe City of Frid2ey
proposed Noiss (3rd3nance, and she had not made any sabstantive changes in that
document. Aowever, she �tad now been told that there was another document which
was drafted by the Envir�ental Quality Co�ission before going to Planning
Camnission. , _
The Cammissi� members raised the question of snowmobile noise enforemmt.
Ms. Rallahan stated they could refer to Section 124.09 PDBLIC NtiISANCE NOTSES
PRtAiIBITED, Item (3} Ex�aust (Mss Kallahan's co�ents to the Fridley proposed
I+Toise Ordinauce, page 5). She stated sre had not specifically re-identified,
for example, the three gieces of statutes that would be applicahle in this
' area'which are the auta�abile legi5latios on mufflers, Ehe snowmo6ile'fegis-
lation on mufflexs, and`a�.so �i�e inotorboat legislatiott on mufflers. Those
statutes could.be recited, bnt it was'tota].],y unnecessaTy because state statutes
are enforceable-w;Cthout,having an ordinance.
Ms. Kallahan stated they also have to have a"section in �heir ordisLance that
is aon-Quantitative, because-they have to design an csrdinance that is enforce-
abl.e by the noise officers. F'or example, tha noise officer cannot be asked
' to meaaure a barking dog on a decibel level. The same tfiing applies to snow- ,
mobiles. So, they would pxobably want to stick to a public rruisance to enforce ;
. saowmobiie naise. If they wanted to go further than that and get a Yittle �
more seeurity in the cocirts, they could enwnerate snowmobiles under Section �
124,09 as a public nuisance. She stated if they Eelt aflowmobiles was a-
speei�ic problem, theu theq should do that.
_ Ms, Sporre stated that the City of Richfield $ad'banned snowmobiling entirely.
Ms, Kallahan stated that she did not th£nk that was a good idea, She felt �
it a�as a highly coatroversial issue when cammunities started messing with
snowmoUiles. She felt the enCire noise ardinanca would become faeused fln �
that one issue, and they would be better off passing the ordinance and then �
try to make amendments at a future time or ma�e a separa�e snowsobile ordinance.
,
Mr, Petersan stated that was his thought. Rather than going into explicit �
ianguage on snowmobiles, they should xefer to a s�towmobile ordinance. The
sstowmo6ile ordinance shoald then have enough"tegtA" in it regarding noise
control.. ;%

its. Kallahan stated the Co�enission should be aware that motor vehicle noise
limit violaCions were petty misdemeanors, so they should simply state in
Section 124.03, Ttem;A, that "a motor vehiele noise vfolation.ds a petty
misdemeaaor". Thea in Section 7.24.I2 ENFORGEMENT, they should sLaCe that:
�'Unless otherwise noted in Chis'ordinance, enEorcement shall take place in
accordance irLth Chapter 901 of the City Code." : �
Mr.•Erickson stated he felt some thought should be given to drafting some
enforcement provisions Ehat would be in accordance with state law, and it
would be up to Che citq attomey to make sure those provisions were in
. compliance.
Ms. Kallahan stated the Commission might want to consider putting under the
Enfarcemeut provisions a remin$er to the enforcement o£ficials that they can
use their powers of injuuction, The Commission might also want to consider
some kind of assessment%provisions, but she could not think 0£ very many
situations with noise where that would occur.
-Mr. Exicicson stated that in regard to Section 124:-08 NOISE IMPACT STATEMENTS,
if a person is gofag to build his own house and has a single'contractor, is
3C Ms. Kallahau's underatauding that this person would need a noiae impacb
statement?
Ms. Kallahan stated the noise impact statemeftt is for the purpose of determining
the proper laad use. All they are trying ta do is make sure tha� whatever is :
being built on a piece qf property is not z+.�gatively impacted by noise. She
�elt nozse impact'statements are very appropriate, e;pecially in conmrunities
Lhat wi.11 be bui2ding buildings that will be noise sensitive--schools,
churches, etc. She felt �ise impact statements would ouly be used to the
e�ctent that Ct:e person in charge of noise control in the city had a finger
on enough things to know what is going on.
Ms: Sporre stated that'in Item B under Sectiou i24.08, it listed a registered
architect, civil engineer, practicing 2and planner, practicing designer or
registered Iand survegar as being persons.who prepare final noise impact
atatements. Ms. Sporre asked if these people had any training in the
preparation o£ noise impact statements--was there a�y state:certiiication?
Ms: Rallahan stated there was no state certi£ication. She stated Ms. Sporre
raised an interesting questiou, but ane wh3ch 5228 dkd IIOt tldV2 dR answer for.
Ms: Sporre�stated thaC`cansistently the noise impact statements go back to
the City 0£ficial, and she was not conviuced that there was enough public
xeview. There is no pt}blic hearing process, no visibiLiCy to a decision that
would have poten�.3ai ntiise impact, either through a commission or the Board
of Appeals. How was this being handled in other c�unitiesZ '
Ms. Kallahan stat�d thah public review is a very raxe thing to have in regaxd
'to noise impact statements. The best:thing to do would be to review how
the Gity of Frtdley handles other environmenCal impact statements. She would

h�ve someone'3n cl�arge Co'follow it thraugh; that part of the ordinance is
' t�t�th nathing:.
I�. I€allahan sCated,she thought the real ctmcern here is that ft did not say
alot about how tke,noise impact statement €inde its way into Che decisian-
making pro¢esa, and maybe there should be some sta[ement that tells the Noise
Coatrol. Of€icer pr.CiCy Official where this documettt is supposed to be routed.
" Ms.`Sporre asked Mr, Deb2on to prepare a staGewent or some language<under
C• Appraval of Noise Impact Statement, Item �2, about where the noise impact
'&tatement goes in the policy process.
Ma• ICal,lahan stated that what they are tryfng Co do in Section 124.08 NOISE
IMPAC£ STAT&MENT is to make sure that all site pkan approvals have an additional
eheck-oEf for noise. Maybe G 2 should have another statement such as: "After
fiaal action fs taken, the noise impact statemettt`returns to the City Official
who reguesCed it," The City Official, in this case, could be the Mayor, City
Councilperson, City Manager, Planning Co�iss�ou,, whoever requested the noise
3mgact statement.
Ms. Sporre stated sh� was hoping that the things that are obviously not a �
.;.grtiblem can ,just be processed by staff, but the things that have the potential
'fAr a significant noise problem should be flagged someway as-a policy problem.
M�•-Kallahan stated she would check into this matter further and get back ta
Air. Debloa n+�th some �urther infarmatian.
Mt`. Erickson stated that thie noise ordinance document was ponrly drafted.
He felt it was the purpose of this meeting to identify the problem areas and
fiFien Yf was up to staff to take those problem azeas aad come up with some
draft3ng p�oposals.
Tir. $riekson stated something ke had mentioned earlier aad something he thaught
ahould be addressed is the single family.home, Does the person who builds a
s3ngle family h'ouse have to get a noise impact statement? He did not'think
: this Ardinance was saping CbBt,
Ms. Kallaha� stated it was het feeling that the ordinance is saying that a11
site plaus £or large density developme6ts will require a noise impact statement.
TL 3.s a,,judgement ca1L on the part of a staff.person that a noise impact state-
m@ttS does or does not need to- be done, and another judgement call on Che part
ctf tl�te &taff persott as to whether the noise imp��:-gtatement adheres to what
> is're�jvired of it.
Mr. Deblon stated he felt the wording should be changed under Noise Impact
SCaCement to xead; "All residential, offiee, coIIUnercia2 or industrial
$CCuCtnres requiring site plans in accordance with Sectians 205.07 throuQh
�fl.�".�.3 of the Zoning Ordfnance submit a naise 3mpact statement which adheres
t4`�ke following requi�rements.."

Dear Gentleperson:
The Fridley Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission needs your help.
We are embarking on a study of needed facilities in the new community park-
playfield located at 69th and University Avenues-�-across the highway from
Columbia Arena. We are seeking people to serve on an advisory committee to --�-•-
examine the need for and type of recreation building that could be built.
The Commission wants the community to help us decide such guestions as:
1) whether or not a building is needed,
2) what kinds of facilities should be includ�d (smimming 000l, gym,
exercise and neeting rooms, handball courts, theatres, or just
storage and concession areas),
3) how and when it should be financed and
4) other related questions.
If you are interested in serving on such a committee, please let us know.
In the spirit o° _he open appointment prdcess used by the City Council, we
as� that yau provide some information about yourself, your interest in • -
serving, and something about your local community affiliations. We are
interested in appointing some pecple from civic organizations and members
of neighborhood advisory groups. We also hope to appoint some of you who
have special qualifications to serve on a building committee and others who
are our mainstay--just plain, interested folks:
I will make appointmAnts in September. Could you indicate yoi�r interest by
September 1? Or perhaps you can suggest someone e7.se, To make it easy, you may
1) Send information to the £bidley City Hall, Parks,_Recreation and
Natural Resources Dept., 6431 NE Oniversity Ave., 55432 OR
2) Call Barb Hughes at work (871-7332) or at home (571-6182) OR
3) Ca11 Chuck Soudreau, Parks and P.ecreation Director, at 571-3450 OR
4) Contact Commission members: Dan A1lan� 571-0137; Dave Kondrick, 571-2359;
Jan Seeger, 784-7441 and Di.ek Young, 571-8098.
It should be an exciting project to work on. Will you help serve your community?
Sincerely yours,
Barbara Hughes

1. CEI�TTER CITY PRQTECT:
A. Continuedc JUD Proposal for Phase Z Development - - '
Mr. Cowners stated he would like Mr. Boardman to explain his memv °
�80-70 to the HRA dated ,7uly 17, 1980, regarding the 3VD Proposal
for Phase I Development.
Mr. Boardmam stated that at the HRA meeCing on July 10, the HRA
suggested that they get together with the City Manager and Mayor
to discuss what the legal rami£ications were of accepCing Yhe
inftial proposal from JVD. The Mayor, City Manager, Marvin Brunsell,
Larry Co�ners, Dean Doyscher, and himself inet'last week and discussed
the ramifications and whether the proposal JVD had submitted to the
City was something that was realisCic in terms of what other HRA`s
give developers in order to attract developers to put together a
project. At that time, it was the concensus of the group that
what JVD was actually asking was too much and may even be out of
the bounds of w11at the HRA can legally give. They felt it may be
necessaxy Yo come back with a counter-proposal to SVD. The counter-
proposal is laid out in that memo and in�ludes the foliowing:
1. 'the HRA agrees-to acquire the property and prepare the
site for development (including demolition and filling as
necessary).
2. The HRA agrees to se11 the Christenson'and Madsen property
at 5ff/, of the appraised market value for an office develop-
ment as determined by an independent appraiser with the
condition that full value taxes be paid on the project,
including property.
.�
SPECIAL
HOUSING b� RF.DEVLLOPMENT•AUTHbRITY MEEPING JULY 24 1980 PAGE 2
3. The HRA agrees to cover all off-site improvement costs.._ ____ ^_
4. The City agrees to considez tax exempt bonds for development.
5, JVD agrees to be responsible for all on-site improvEments
(parking, curbing, landscaping, etc.).
6. JVD agrees to an annual payment to be determined by the HRA.
7, JVD agrees to give HRA site design, exterfor bui�.ding
design, buiLding Iocation, and aceess design approval.
' 8. JVD agreas Lo provide a proposed design for all of Phase I
_,_._____ properties for review of the HRA. �
Mr. Boardman stated thaC if JVD accepts this counter-offer, the HRA
- should consider moving ahead with the project and have disposition
documents drawn up and executed. If JVD does not accept the counter-
offer, the HRA should consider reopening Phase I for proposals. He
would suggest a time period of August 1 to be given to JVD for a
response. IE no response is xeceived, the HRA should reopen the project
for development.
Mr. Boardman stated he had sent a copy of Yhis memo to Mark Haggerty
so Mr. Haggerty was awam of what Mr. Boardman wa� proposing to the
HRA.
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Haggerty had cailed F�im that day on his
way out o£ town. Nir. Boardman was not in thz office, but the secretary
--- took the €ollowing-message: Mr. flaggerty-�uas going to be out of. town
� and he did n.ot have anyone available to attend the HRA meeting. They
will be meeting among themselves on the fol}owing Tuesday or Wednesday.
Sy Sheehy is working on the numbers on the project as.laid out by
NIr. Boardman. It would make a big difference if JVD could go v�ith a
3-story wood frame building instead of mssonry, but if the HRA insisted,
they would go ioith masonry. They are assuming that the SCP/, wa� on the
1and.value only and not on the bu:ildings on Lhe land axid are assuming
that the City would go with tax exempt bonds or industrial revenue
bonds. If these two assumpeions are o.k., then they would probably
go along with the terss of Mr. Soardman's memo.
. Mr, fioardman stated that Mr. Brunsell had prepared another memo
(dated 7/18/80) with additional runs shoc�ing the tax increment from a
45,Q00 sq. ft. building on the Christenson progerty.
Mr. Brunsell teviewed tltis memo.with the HRA and explained each exhibit
Mr. Commers stated that at the meeting with the City Manager, Mayor,
etc., there was seme sentiment and sqme disappointment in the fact
that JVD probably did not come through with their final proposal
similar to what they had originally proposed to the HRA when tlie
HRA appointed them as developers; that is, in deveJ.oping more fully
that Phase I. There was some feeling that JVD had backed away from
_��,,,,,
SPECIAL
HOIISING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORIT'Y MEETING Jt3LY 24 1980 PAGE 3
their initial proposal aad coamitment to the 6ity in that respect.
There were even a couple of people who felt tflat there should not
even be a counCer-proposal made to JVD. Mr. Commers had stated that, over-
all, 3VD had put a lot of time into the project and they have acted
in good faith, and it was bYaught to a concensus that they make one
more effort to try Co work out Che problems with JVD and try to get
the project underway. ,
Mr. Commers stated the liRA has to determine what they want to do as
far as Staff's recommendation on the counter-proposal. Even ehough
a copy of Mr. Boardman's memo has beeri sent to MY. Aaggerty, it is
understood at Chis Cime Chat this counter-proposal has not been
approved by the HRA and that Che HRA can make changes.
Mr, Boardman stated he.had discussed'the counter-proposal with
Mr. Doyscher, and they both feel it is a pretty good deal for 3VD.
He would recoumiend that the HRA go with the better quality building
construction (masonry).
Mr. Prairie stated they may want to sacrifice quantity, but not quality
Mr. C:mnners agreed, esgecially on su;n a visible parcel of Land. If
they u�e going to build the rest oa the phase� and projects around
this building, this_building might set the standards. That is also'
. why they have requested some kind of exterior design control so they
can make sure there is some blending and matching.
Mr. Houck stated it was his feeling they should request the masonry
consEruction and that they should_ ask JVD to do something by Aug. 1,
one way or the other. He liked JVD and they do good work, but the
City.would like to get something going,
Ms. Svendsen agseed that the IiRA should specify masonry construction
in the counter-proposal.
Mr. Prairie stated it seemed feasible to him that JVD pay for half
Che land and the on-siCe 3mprovements. They should stick to a good
quality building. It seemed Eeasible to make this counter-proposal
to JVD as outlined by Mr. Boardman.

Ms. Saendsen aske$ what Mx. Doyscher's feelings were on the conditions
of this counter-proposal.
Mr. Boardman stated he had talked to Mr. Doyscher about these conditions.
Mr. Doyscher felt this was pretty mucti the basis of what has been
discussed and what they are looking at. At the meeting, Mr. Boardman
thought PSr. Doyscher felt that maybe it was a good idea for the City
to take the 45,000 sq, ft. hailding on the property with these coaditions.
Mr. Doyscher's £eeling caas that it would probably be a good idea to
get some development in the area, because development generates other
development.
Mr. Hamernik stafed he would like to comment from the background tte
had in the original discussions on the City Council when they wenC
into the lease agreement and tied up this property for future develop-
ment. He skated he thought this was a very generous proposal. It is
far more generous than what he had anticipated in voting for obtaining
the properY.y in the first place. He agreed that prospects have changed
and Chings are different than they were three years ago, but he wauld
also like to co�ent on the discussion he had-heard this evening--that
the City wants to see something get started and that this will
probably hring in future development. He stated he felt that if they
go witli a proposal of this type, [hey may be setting a precedent far
anq future development and be lacked into what they are doing here.
He thought the HRA should give some consideration to that also.
Mr. Commers stated there was a lot. of truth to what Mr. Hamernik was
saying. They should be careful as far as precedent setCing. Ae stated
the HRA did not know the histaricaL background of the reasons for
_ _ , "�

Mr. Boardman stated he would write a letter to JVD outlining the
d3scussion and the action made by the HRA and request that JVD
respond back to City Staff by August 1. At that time, they can
either schedule a special meeting or wait until Che regular HR�+
meeting on August 14.
B, Discussion on Acquisition of Brunkow Music SCore Property
Mr, Coa�ers stated Che HRA had.a copy of a memo �80-71 dated Ju1y ll
from Mr. Boardman regaxding the acquisition of the Brunkow Music
Store Property.
Mr. Boardman stated that Kexry Elder, owner o£ Brunkow Music Store,
has indicated an interest in selling her property and is presently
considering liquidaeing her business. She would like to sit down
with the HRA si:aff and negotiate a purchase price. At this T.ime,
he felt it would be a good thing tn meet with Ms, Elder and possibly
negotiate a price equitable to both parties. He would like a motion
£rcm the HI2A giving Staff permission to start Che negotiation process
MOTION by Ms. Svendsen, seconded by Mr. Houck, to grant Staff the
authority to enter inCo preliminary negotiations witH Kerry Elder
relative to the acquisition of the Brunkow Music Store property and
that Staff report back to the HItA at their next regular meeting.

2. DEFINlTION OF "LARGE F
Mr. Commers stated that at the,last meeting the HRA had a discussion about the
definition of a laxge fa�ily. The City has been approached by a Vietnamese
family with a cousin Living within the family group. In checkirig the city
ordinance, the definition of "family" was not very clear as to what should be
defined as� a"large family". The IiRA had di'rected Staff Co prepare a defini-
tion of "large family" for guidance in the Large Family Home Ownership Progzam.
Mr. Cwimers stated the definition pro*�osed by Ms. Cayan is: "A two-generation
gr wp of £ive or more persons consisting of at least one parent and four - -
children or two parents and threee children. Children must be 18 years of age
or younger to be considered a family members."
Mr. Ccmmers stated one problem he saw with that definiCion was the requirement
that ciiildren must be 18 years of age or younger. They have to take 3nto
consideration those children that might not be emancipated, the handicapped and
disabled, He was not sure the age of 18 was appropriaCe.

"'-'` ` � Mr. Boardman stated they have hacl a real problem with that. What they are
Crying to do wit.h the lurge family home ownership program is hel,p Iarge
families of low and modcrate.income. The basis of those families are generally
a mother, father, and thxee childreii, or a pareatt with four children. Ail of
their large fan��lies to date have fit that classification, He stated Staff
was open to any changes the ?IR4 might have.
Mr. Commers staY.ed that this discussion should be continued vntil the next
meeting in order for each of the u�embers to review the definition proposed
by Staff. He Pelt they definitely should adopt some kind of guideline in
terms of "large Pamily" for the home ownership program.

Planning Commission minutes-as amended:" Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye,
Ghairman Harris declared the motion carried unanimously.
1. IMPLEMENTATION SECTTON DRAFT OF COMPREliENSIVE PT,AN:
Mr. Deblon sCated this was the last part of the Comprehensive Plan. The other
sections of the Comprehensive Plan have been reviewed by Planning Commission
and City Council and have been sent to adjacent coum�unities. He stated they
had hoped to get all comments from the adjacent communities by the end of July,
but that did not happen. They have now requested an extension from Metropolitan
Council and have completed this Implementation Section. This Implementation
Sect3on has also been sent out to adjacent communities concurrent with the
Planning Co�ission's review. A cover letter accompanied the section stating
that the communities would be notified if there were any major changes in the
section.
PLAPNiNG COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 6, 1980 PAGE 2_
Mr. Deblon stated the Implementation Section is quite general and meets the
minimum requirements as set forth in the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. They
want to get this on to Metropolitan Council by the end of October or November
of this year.
Ms. Hughes stated that on agenda page 19 of the Implementation Section, "Point and
Non-Source PoinC Pollution Study" should be changed to "Point and Non-Point Source
Pollution Study".
Mr. Treuenfels referred to the "Junk Ordinance" on agenda page 19 where it
stated that: "The City presently has an ordinance relating to junk, debris,
and junk cars. However, it will be revised to better handle today's junk
problems." He asked what "today's junk problems" were and how those problems
would be handled.
Mr. Deblon stated that the City Council, through the Public Works Director,
has expressed a desire to upgrade and toughen up the Junk Ordinance. In response
to that request, input and ordinances were solicited from adjacent communities
to see how other co�unities handled their junk problems. A new draft of the
junk ordinance is being put together at this time. He stated that, for example,
with today's energy situation, people may tend Co hang onto junk cars longer
for parts, so those kinds of things could became.problems.
Mr. Saba stated that a lot more people are going to be storing materials for
recycling; and unless the Gity provides a place for that storage, people are
going to store it in their backyards.
Ms. Hughes stated that Mr. Saba had brought up a good point. She felt they
should caution those rewriting the ordinance, that they take into consideration
recyclable materials or things that are being accumulated for recycling.
Ms. Schnabel skated that in regard to the revised junk ordinance, she was
concerued that the City not get into the policy of harassing the business
people in the City simplg because it is easier to enforce the ordinance on them
than it is the homeowners. The businesses provide services to the residents of
the City, and if they drive them out by harassing t�em, the City is doing itself
a real disservice.
Mr. Harris stated that in Mr. Deblon's memo to Mr. Boazdman dated June 18, 1980,
Mr. Deblon referred to Section �62, "Capital Improvement Program - for transporta-
tion, sewers, parks and open space facilities". Where is the money going to
come from for all those things?
Mr. Deblon stated the theme fox transportation is that E'ridley is fully developed,
and any additional residential streets would be assessed. The same thing applies
to water and sewer. The theme for parks and open space is grants and a 1oca1
bond issue.
Mr. Harris asked if it could be assumed that the funding sources from LAWCON,
LCMR (State Legislative Co�ission on Minnesota Resources), and CDBG ( Community
Development Block GranC) funds were pretty well dried up for parks.
PLANNtAG C�SSION MEETING, AUGUST 6, 198� PAGE 3
Mr. Boardman stated they made application this year, but they are not sure whether
they wi11 get'any money. They finally got approval from the Federal Government
on last year's request for funding for $178,000 in park manies and that money
is now available. They just went through a preliminary on this year's LAWCON
funding. They are not sure what is going to happen on that at the federal or
state Level, but Fridley ranks �4. It looks like they will probably be available
eo receive in the range of $200,000 for next year if the funding holds up, At
this point in time, that funding has not been dried up. CDBG funds are not
dried up yet; however, he did not foresee a lot of funding coming to the city
for parks and recreation. The more and more they get into CDBG's, the more and
more they have to relate it to low and moderate income housing. If Chey don't
relate it to a lOfP/, benefit for those people, they don't generally get the
funding.
Mr. Harris stated the last alternative is a local bonding issue. Did Mr. Boardman
have a feeling at this point in time of about how many dollars they would be
Calking about for a bond issue to camplete the project?
Mr. Boardman stated they are looking at these as potential £unding sources. At
this point in ti.me, they are not sure what they will be proposing as far as
capital improvements. They are submitting to the Parks & Recreation Commission
their recommended changes fa the parks to make the parks more usable and more
neighborhood-oriented.
Ms. Hughes stated the Parks & Recreation C wmission is looking at some of the
development proposed or suggested from neighborhood meetings, Planning Staff,
and the Recreation Dept., and are trying to set some priorities in each park.
When they have reviewed a11 the parks, they will be able to mare specifically
saq what should be put in each park.
Mr. Boardman stated that bonding is one potential funding source, but other than
a bonding issue, the ultimate potential £unding sourca is the budget. If a
bonding issue fails, then the priorities may have to change and funding will be
strictly through the budget process.
Ms. Aughes stated that the"annual city budget" should be listed as a potential
funding souYCe.
?Ir. Harris stated he was trying to get a feel of whether their plans for total
capital imgrovements was realistic or not.
Mr. Boardman stated he thought they were probably talking in the neighborhood
o£ $7 million at today's dollars to make the logical changes and modifications
in the parks, including the recreation building.
Ms. Schnabel referred to agenda page 20 on "Housing". She asked if they had
identified the amount of land that would be available for the minimum of 480
units for low and moderate income housing and the 480 units for new modest-
cost housing?
PLANNING COP4LCSSIQN MEETING, AUG(IST 6, 1980 PAGE 4
Mr. Boardman stated they look at potential land that is available for housing.
What they have to show Metropolitan Council is not that they are going to be
providing this housing, but that they are providing the opportunity for that
housing to happen. Metropolitan Council is lookiug at communities to not
create the housing, but to at least a11ow the opportunity for those units to
be built.
Mr. Harris asked i£ a public hearing was necessary for the Implementation Section.
Mr. Boardman stated he felt the Planning Co�ission should have a public hearing
on the Implementation Section at their first meeting in September. That would
give rhe Co�ission one more meeting for review of the Implementation Section.
Ms, Hughes stated that on agenda page 25, under ''Transpor.tation", she:thoughC°.
maybe the,bfk�way/walkwayrsystem should be mentioned.
Mr. Boardman stated Ms. Hughes had a good point and they may want to say thaC;
"The Bikeway System, also a transportation plan, is addressed in the Parks &
Recreation area."
Ms.Hughes stated that on the same page under "Local Street System", second
paragraph, it was stated; "Since 1969, the City has implemented a program to
repave and install curb and gutter to Fridley's existing substandard streets.
This program was intended to have a11 city streets up to standard by the year
1979." She stated that this schedule was not met, so it should either be restated
or that secand sentence deleted.
MOTION by Ms. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels, to set a public hearing on
the Implementation Section of the Comprehensive Plan for Wednesday, September 10,
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the motion carried
