PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 3, 1980 PAGE 2
Recommended changes by Mr. Herrick:
(page 4)
#30. kOME OCCUPATION - Mr. Herrick wanted to know what the purpose of
"over-the-counter retai] sales" was and if there was no purpose
other than to restrict retai] sales, he questioned whether they
should say "over-the-coanter". Mr. Herrick recommended that
"provided that no signs other than those normally utilized in a
residential district are present" and "over-the-counter" be deleted.
Ms. Schnabel stated she felt that what was written in the definition for "Home
Occupation" really belonged in the Zoning Ordinance. She stated that there
could be a simple definition and then the restrictions could be listed in the
Zoning Ordinance, Sfie thought it would 6e fiarder in a couri of iaw io defend
a definition as opposed to defending an ordinance.
Mr. Boardman stated he had no problem witfi this suggestion. It might be a
little cleaner, He stated fie would reorganize this and make the necessary
changes in R1 and R2.
Ms. Schnabel stated that another tfiing the Cotmnission had ta7ked about at one
time was whether or not the City should require business 7icenses. No decision
was made.
Mr. Harris stated that one reason wfiy they should be concerned about the home
occupation was that in �e Comprehensive Plan, they had stated they wanted to
maintain and upgrade the character of the residential neighborhood, If they
are going to maintain and upgrade the character and integrity of the residential
neighborhoods, and if they are going to allow commercial enterprises within those
residential neighborhoods, he felt they were working at opposite ends of the stick.
Ms. Schnabel stated she saw the need for licensing as a method of the City
gaining the knowiedge of wherefhese occupations are iocated, the neighbors
knowing that the City has some knowledge of these occupations, and maybe
providing a vehicle for the City to supervise what is going on.
Mr. Boardman stated that the City has no business ]icensing at a17. They cannot
just license some businesses. 7hey either have to license all businesses
or not license businesses at all.
Mr. Harris stated the real concern about home occupations was how the home
occupations impacted the surrounding neighborhoods.
Ms. Schnabel asked if the City receives any complaints regarding home occupations.
, Mr. Boardman stated they really have not received any complaints on home
occupations.
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETTNG, DECEMBER 3, 1980 PAGE 3
Ms. Nughes stated that, at this point, she did not want to pursue the question
of 6usiness licensing. It may have some merit for the Comrrtunity Development
Commission to pursue this question.
The Co�nission concurred that the question of whether to require business
licensing in the City of fridley be referred to the Community �evelopment
Commission.

Ms. Schnabel stated that a license was not required for customary home
occupations including the rental of guest rooms, but a license was required
for dweiling, limited. She stated that it was inconsistent to require the
licensing of one and not the other.
Mr. Boardman stated that this was a change the Planning Commission had made.
They had wanted some contro] on the "mother-in-law" apartment and had
recommended licensing of a limited dwelling. He stated he had no problem
with eliminating licensing. He stated the City Council wants to eiiminate
dwelling, limited completely.

THE MOTZON DI,�',D FOR LACK OF A SECONA � ��
Ms: Schnabel stated that at the September 30, 1980, Appeals Comnission meeting,
the Appeals Commission had a discussion concerning the rewriting of the Zoning
Ordinance. It was their concerm that special use permits were being permitted
as a method of speeding up things and that special use permits were sometimes
used with some abuse, and that perhaps rezoning was really a more logical step
to take and more fair to adjacent neighbors. She stated that, keeping the
Appeais Commission's concern in mind, she had to question some of the things in
the special use section.
Ms. Schnabe] stated that churches and private schools in an R-1 area usually
take such a large body of land. Once these buildings are constructed, unless
they should be destroyed, she fe7t it would be more logical for that property
to always continue to be used for what it was built for and it would be more
logical to rezone that piece of property from R-1 into some proper zoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEPIBER 3 1980 PAGE 7
Mr. Boardman stated thereis no appropriate zoning for churches and schools.
It cou}d be zoned commercial, but then if that church or school was ever closed,
it is a commercial zone for any commercial venture. He stated their main
concern used to be duplexes allowed in a single family zone with a special use
permit, but that has been eliminated.
Ms. Schnabel stated that a hospital was such an enormous facility and to main-
tain it in an R-1 zone with a special use permit almost makes the Zoning Code
seem like it is 7acking something by not having a zone that can handle a
facility like that. Why not have a hospital zone?
Mr. Boardman stated they could set up so many different zones, they would not
be able to control them.
Ms. Hughes stated they should ]ook at the permitted uses under the special use
permit to make sure they are uses that ought to be permitted.
(page 27)
205.073 Lot Requirements and Setbacks
Mr. Boardman stated that the City Council has talked about changing the minimum
lot area from 7,500 sq. ft. as recommended by the Planning Commission back to
9,000 sq, ft.
The Co�nission members concurred that they did not want to change their
recomnendation and that the minimum lot area should remain at 7,500 sq. ft.
Mr. Harris stated that in the Comprehensive Plan, they made the statement that
they were going to promote and make available affordable housing in the City of
Fridley. At the rate of land costs and building costs today, houses built with
a minimum square footage of 1,020 sq. ft, on a 9,000 sq. ft, lot is probably
in the neighborhood of $75,00� with an interest rate of 15%, and that is not
affordabie housing.

Dear Mr. Boardman:
1 am writing in response to the proposed rezoning of Lots 23-3�>
Block 13, Hamilton's Addition to Mechanicsville from R-3 �9e�eral
multiple family) to CR-1 (general office and limited business).
The City of Columbia Heights does not perceive the rezoning as
causing any adverse impacts upon Columbia Neights land uses.
Accordingly, the proposed rezoning would be consistent with
Columbia Heights zoning for the University Avenue block from
52nd to 53rd Avenue which is zoned RB (retail business).
Sincere y,

MOTION by Counailman Liebl to award the bid for Workmen's Canpensation Insurance
for the year 1972 to P.M. Endsley Company using the loss participating dividend
plan as recommended by the City Managcr and the insurance consultant. Seconded
by Councilman Ke?ahaw. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried unanimously.
The City Er�qineer suggested that the second reading of this ordinance be held up
until the fina2 plans are through the subcommittees and come bePore the Council
for approval, then the Conncil can aat on them together.

C�7�'�1
OF FIkANCHI5E
ANA ASSIGNS. TO
FOR TH�' VIOIATION OF
OF
(Jouncilman Liebl said at this point, it seems prcper for. the Council to go
through the ordinance and fill in the blanks as to fees. the number on the
advisory committee, and any other suggested changes the Council may have.
His first suggestion would be on Page 26, Section I9 to insert the number °27"
television channels ---. The rest of the Council a.greed on that figure.
The next aection discussed was Section 22 - Rates, starting on Page 27. Councilman
BreideY said that on one of the proposals the figure suggested was $5.50 and he
felt that something less than the $9.95 Bloomington used should be considered,
therefore� he would suggest using the figure S6.00 as the primary installation
charge. Councilman Liebl suqqested that the words "not to exceed" be used through-
out the ordinance in the discussion of the fees. He said he did not want the
figure set so low the company would be farced to come back beEore the Council and
ask for an increase. The primazy concern is good service to the citizens, and
he would not want the maximum set so low the company awarded the franchise could
not live up to it. There should be a ceiling set, but not a minimum. Councilman
Breider said he would agree there should be a ceiling, but not $9.95. He said he
did not know how much money it took to run a cable system, but he would assume,
since one company quoted a$5.50 figure, that Y.hey coul3 run their business
profitably using that figure. Even if they did have to go through a rate increase,
the rate;could still be aontx�olled by increments. He pointed out that on the
comgarison sheet provided the Council of ccmmunities having cable television
there are four coms+unities that have no connection charge.
Councilman Harris wondere�' i£, on Page 36, Section 28 dealing with the Advisory
Committee, suggesting fees could be one o£ their duties. The City Attorney said
that the section was written with flexibility because there might be a nwnber of
duties the Council would want to refer Lo the commiktee. The rate structure
could be referred to them from ti.me to time. If the ordinance passes in it5
present form, the charges are aet by the ordinance� and to change them would

The City Engineer said he would like Co point out that if the Council approves
this plan, there are still Yhings required in the Code they will have to do,
such as curbing on 69th Avenue. At the last meeting, he mentioned that the
developer should pXOVide access to the park along with six parking spaces.
His department also feels there shoUld be additional parking space provided.
There are two parking spaces provided for each three bedroom unit, but the
ordinance for R-3 sequires 2� parkinq spaces. Pezhaps a compromise would be to
pzovide 2� parkinq spaces for each unit. There is room for this. Mr. Wiensch
said they would provide the park access and �ie six parking spaaes by the
park. They feel there would pzobably be 50� of the tenants with 2 cars and
50$ with l car. The ozdinance is for apartments, not townhouses. He would
like to point out that with the addition of every new parking space, some
green asea is lost. They would be willing to sign a letter that they will put
in the additional parking if it proves necessary, but they would hate to put
in unused blacktop at the expense of losing some green area. He added that
as a rule you do not qet individuals renting townhouses, you get families.
The City Attorney suggested the City Engineer and the Pschitect might delineate
on the plans where the additional 35 paxking spaces would be ].ocated if they
should be needed.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the plans with the following stipu-
lations:
�11. The wood panels are to be removed and replaced with stucco.
#2. There are to be five fireplaces on 69th Avenue.
#3. The sides of the garaqes facinq 69th Avenue are to be bricked.
#4. The colors of the brick are to be staggered to achieve a pleasing eEfect.
#5. Receipt o£ a letter £rom the developers they will agree to put in an
addiiional 35 parking spaces if it prwes necessary after review 18
months after completion o£ the project. A map is to be included deli-
neating the location of the parkinq spaces.
#6. They will provide access to the park and six additional parking spaces
by the park.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Xirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
The Council noted that the petition against the i.mprovement of Clover Place
has been withdrawn as the people have changed their minds.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to adopt Resolution #147-1971. 5econded by
Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared

� Councilman Harris asked if this would affect in any way the City's plans to
' request the E[ighway�Depastment to move their Eence so Fridley can use the land
by the hiqhway for a park. The City Lngineer said it would have no effect.
He suggested getting a letter from the developers agreeing to pave the alley
at no cost to the adjoining property owners. He hoped the other two gas
stations would also agree to this to qet the alley opened through. Mr. Leonard
Samuelson said he woulo agree to this and thought the gas station owners would
also as it would be an advantage to all of them.
THE VOTE upon the motion, being a roll call vote, Liebl, Harris, Breider,
Kelshaw and Kirkham voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried

and the majority of the business is done on Saturday morning. He stated that the

HOUSER, GENERI�ILLY LOCATED�AT GUMWOOD STREET BETWEEI3 7�TH WAY RND 78TH AVENUE AN�
EAST OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS:
The City Enqineer pointed out the area under discussion on the overhead projectoX
and said that the Planning Commission had recomnended approval, he added that
there is a letter from Nosthern States Power Company asking for retention of
some of the easements. The City Engineer said that the City is studying the�
drainage in this ac'ea and should know fairly soon what area we will need for
improvements, and he suggested that the vacation be withheld until all the
utilities are laid out and we know what right of way is needed.
Councilman Breider asked where the NSS5D line runs in this area, and the City
Engineer pointed out that it ran along the railroad tracks. NSP lines go
through there and there are also Minneapolis Gas Company main easements. The
City Attorney stated that the last session of the Legislature had changed the
law so that it is now possible for tne City to vacate streets and still retain
the utility easements.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to recieve the communication from Northern States
Power Company dated November 8, 1971, regarding zetaining acoess to existing
facilities. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, there beinq

business, but in addition, the Commission can affirm or deny the sale of Crailere
on'the same premises.
Mr. Schmedeke said that this seems to be the type of thing the Planning Com-
m.ission has been trying to prevent. EIe would be the last to deny the peeitioner
the'operation of the station. To approve selling txavel trailers would open
the door to used cars, motorcycles, two wheel trailers. He was afraid that what
they would be doing would be allowing each station Lo come in and start wlth
ihis procedure and eventually selling used cars and tra3lers out of the station,
Mr. Clark said the petitioner had been selling the trailers, and when it
came to our attention, he was notified he would have to apply for a Special Use
Yermi[.
Leonard Samuelson, former Councilman, said that he agreed with Mr. Schmedeke
and was on that side of the fence. GeneraYly speaking, the service stations in
Fridley have insufficient land areas to dispense trailers. He thought that
auxi2iary sales such as this does somewhat ruitt the aesthetics of a service
atation. It does not give a clean look he would desire for Fridley.
Referring to "covers" (camper units for pickup trucks) Mr. Minish asked if
the request is denied, did that mean the station cannot sell covezs as well?
Mr. Clark said the Commission could limit what they felt could be sold in
the open.
MOTIDN by Schmedeke, seconded by Zeqlen, that the Planning Commission close
the Public Nearing of the request for a Special Use Permit, Sn #71-13, Dick's
North 5tax to sell recreational trailers bn Lots 3, 4 and 5, B1ock 7, Berlin
Addition as per City Code 45.IO2, 3, N, and to recommend the continuing use oP
the Service Station, but to deny the addition of retail sales on the following
groands: Service Stations are not permitted to se12 travel trailers under the
Fzidley Ozdinance No. 483. Used travel tzailers and used autos'are Sold vnder
the same state Iicense. Approving this permit could be the procedure to
encouraqe the sale of used travel trailers and used cars on service statton
sites. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting age, the motion carried unanimously.
�, 3. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST POR RE20NING, WAY DAR LAND CORP. BY WAYNE PETERSO�I,
PRESIDENT: Lots 23 through 30, Block 13, Namilton's :lcdition to Mechanice-
ville to be rezoned from R-3 to C-2 for a"Little Dea: nrn" warehouse and
sales office.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Minish, that the PZanning Commission waive
the reading of the Public Hearing Notice for the rezoning request, ZOA 1171-07�
by Wag Dar Land Corp., Wayne Peterson, for Lots 23 to 30, Block I3, Hamilton�s
Addition to Mechanicsville to be rezoned from R-3 to C-2. Upon a voice VpCer
a11 votfng aye, the motion carried unanimoasly. •
Mr. Wayne Peterson and Mr. Leonard Samuelson were present.
Mr. Samuelson explained that the property lies iwnediately North of the
Metro S00 Service Station and Easterly of the service drive of University Avenue.
The lots have been cut up due to the acquisition of the Highway Department in
the interchange of I. U694 and T.H. /f47. This property is in the Southeast
quadrant of the interchange. At the South corner of 54th Avenue, the Highway
Department has constructed a cul de scc. The pet��iQpers are requesting a
.
Z5
Planni� Commission Meetin� - September 22 1971 rap_ e 5�
a rezoning change so that Mr. peterson can construct a 7,600 square foot building
which will also incorporate a basement. It will be a warehouse £or automobile
parts for Model T and A cars and referred to as "Little Dearborn". There are
no repair facilities, no maintaining cars. Parts needed are manufacCured by the
Ford Motor Company, The warehouse here will then service 3ndividual people who
do their own remodelling and their<6uiiding. Their business is strictly over
the counter sales. The,traffic is in and out, maybe thirty or forty cars a
day. They felt that since there is a service staCion immed3ately to the Sou[h,
and a dead end cul de sac op the NorCh, the requested rezoning would lend itself
to a reasonable good land use. The proposed structure would look quite contem-
porary and would lend itself genGrally to an improvement of the area.
Chairman Fitzpatrick noted that the Public Hearing Notice was senC to a large
number of people and none were present, but one letter was received concurring
with the request. The letter was from the filling station to the South (Metro
S00). . '
Mr. Clark said that the 5tandard Oi1 Station got a Special Use Permit when
that procedure was allowed, and the Metro 500 is older than the zoning ordinance.
The owner may come in with.a similarurequest as the Commission heard this evening
in Item 2. �
MOTION by Minish, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Commission close the
Public fiearing for the Rezoning Request, ZOA N71-07, Way Dar Land Corp. to rezone
from R-3 to C-2 Lots 23 to 30, B1ock 13, Hamilton`s Addition to MechanicsvilSe.
Upon a vozce vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried ananimouslg.
Mr. Peterson $aid that during the summet, they usually have £rom forty to
fifty sale tags per day; in the winCer about twenty to £orty. They have four
full time employees and two employees part time, and the number increases in the
summer. They serve the upper midwest area - Chicago to Colorado - a five state
area. They specialize in new parts for antique cars. They do not scrap or junk
cars. There are approximately about Yen to fifteen companies, the same type as
this one, and they are referzed to as "Little Dearborn". Each of them'manufacture
a few items and interchange the molds buying from each other. No manufacturing
is done on the premises.
Mr. Schmedeke asked if blue spruce could be used in the landscaping, and
wondered if some could be used along the alley. Mr. Samuelson explained that
the alley is used by the residents and they could not encroach on the alley
Yight of way. They are putting a complete Model A on display. They do meet
City requirements as far as parking requirements, land area and building setbacks.
Mr. Schmedeke felt this would be an ideal area £or evergreens. He also felt
this land should have been commercial yeazs ago. If the Company did not generate
a lot of traffic, he thought the request was a good use of the land.
Mr. Clark said he had received one call on the rezoning request, but the
caller did not comment whether or not he was in favor.
Mt. Peterson said he received two calls asking for further information.

Darrel Clark said the application was brought in today together with the
signatures of almost all the people concerned. Mr. Houser should also get a

Belk Telephone Co. and the owner of Block 5 to dedicate the other part of the
cul de sac for turn around on 78th Avenue. The North half of the land is vacant.
The petitioner will either sell or build. The Southern half is occupied.

has built his own sewer -- one lot depth North of 77th Way. The North half
of the block will be served by 7Bth Avenue. The easements for the Gas Company
and Tdorth Suburban Sanitary Sewer District aze along the railtoad tracks. The
huge 315 KV power lines are also along the tracks.
The alley will be dedlcated back [o the City for utility easements. .This

APPROVAL Of DECEMBER 3, 1980, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION BY MR. SVANDA, SECONDED BY MS. HUGHE5, TO APPROVE THE DECEMBER 3, 2960,
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTE5 AS WRITTEN.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL i�OTING AYE, CHAIRMRN HARRIS DSCLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANSMOUSLY. �
1. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING RE UEST, ZOA #80-04, BY
DR. JEROME C.Schurstein: Rezone from R-3 general mu tiple family dwelling
areas to C- genera office and limited business), Lots 23 through 30,
Block 13, Hamilton's Addition to Mechanicsville, except that part of
Lots 24 through 30 taken for Highway purposes, to allow the construction
of an office-professional building, the same being 5345 University Ave. N.E.
MOTIOPJ BY MR. OQUIST, SECONDED BY MS. GABEL, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON
ZOR j/80-04 BY DR. JEROME C. SCHUIZSTSIN.
UPON R VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING RYE, CHAZRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING
OPEN AT 7:40 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated this property �5 located south of 694 on University Ave.
He stated there is a short dead-end service road that cul-de-sacs right along
University Ave. This property is presently zoned R-3. It is just north of a
C-2 district which is presently occupied by a Standard Station and a gas pump
repair service facility. Behind this property is R-3 property which is multiple
family and some single family. South of 53rd Ave. in Columbia Heights is all
commercial along the service drive. Across University, north of 53rd, is al7
R-1 and south of 53rd is R-3.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 17, 1980 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated that the9ubject property is a little awkward in shape
and there was a little �fficulty in fitting in the structure Dr. Schurstein
is proposing. The structure Dr. Schurstein is proposing will have to go for
variance; however, he is bringing it before Planning Commission to see if he
can get rezoning before applying for a variance on the building.
Mr. Boardman stated that there was a rezoning action on this property back in
1971. At that time, the petitioner was asking for rezoning to C-2 for an
office structure. At that time, Planning Commission recommended approval for
the rezoning, City Council recommended approval for rezoning. They had the
first reading on it and were holding the second reading for the Building Committee.
The application was then withdrawn because the financing was bad, and they could
not build the structure.
Mr. Boardman stated that Dr, Schurstein does have plans for a two-story office
structure. It is a difficult site because it is a triangular site. He stated
he has worked out the parking with as few variances as possible.
Mr. Lawrence Zimmerman, 5380 - 4th St. N.E., stated he wanted to know what was
proposed for the alley that was behind the property.
Mr. Boardman stated they did have a problem with the alley that is right behind
the parking lot. There has been some talk about vacating the alley, but there
are too many garages off the alley. He stated the alley may have to be improved
because there are a lot of garages on the alley, especially further down by the
Standard Station.
Mr. Harris asked if the petitioner wished to make a statement at this time.
Dr. Schurstein stated he has been thinking of different things for this lot for
a couple of years. When he first started, he was interested in an office/
resident complex, but there is a problem with financing something like that.
They are now applying for rezoning the property to commercial. In the last two
years, commercial has been rirore likely to receive financing than housing.
It would be terribly expensive for housing because of the odd shape of the lot.
He stated he would like to see this property developed, and that is why he has
come before the Planning Commission to try to get a zoning change.
Mr. C. Schurstein stated that based on projections right now, they are looking
at a return on their investment that would be economical to build the building
and they are also planning on building a substantial buiiding--probably a
precast building so the longevity of the structure itself will be easy to look
at and will be an asset to the area. They feel the property has some commercial
value.
Ms. Hughes asked if they had any idea of what kind of tenants they would have.
Mr. C, Schurstein stated they are planning on having tenants that are professionally-
oriented--attorneys, insurance companies, dental offices, medical offices, etc.
They are not looking at a drugstore or retail ouilet.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 17, 1980 PAGE 3
Mr. C. Schurstein stated they feel it is an adequate plan. They feel there
is a good opportunity for certain types of investments and that the building
is in a class that would generate enough interest because of its size and cost.
They feel very confideni that, given �ime, they can finance the building. He
stated he is a real estate broker so he does know something about the business.
Ms. Gabel asked if they had any idea how many tenants they would have in the
building.
Mr. C. Schurstein stated that would depend on the type of tenant. A regional
insurance office may require 3,000 sq. ft., while a doctor or dentist may
require only 1,000 sq. ft.
Ms. Vagovich, 5400 - 4th 5t. N.E., stated she has talked to most of the
neighbors, and they are all in favor of an office building as opposed to having
an apartment building.
Ms. Hughes stated that with the rezoning to CR-1 and with R-3 next to it, there
would have to be a fence, and the variances seemed quite simple. It seemed to
her that the noise impact from the highway was such that they would never want
to put residential in there. The office building and the fencing could be of
real benefit to the neighborhood as far as noise. She could see no problems
and felt the rezoning request was a reasonable proposal.
Ms. Gabel stated she could see no reason why anyone on the Appeals Commission
would have any problem with it.
MOTION BY MS. HUGHES, SECONDED BY MR. OQUIST, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON
ZOA 80-04 BY DR. JEROME SCHURSTEIN.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTSNG AYE, CHRIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING
CIASED AT 8:14 P.M. -
Mr. Oquist stated he agreed with Ms. Hughes, and that this was a viable solution
for that corner property.

P.S. �80-03 BY DAVID TORKILDSON.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING
OPEN AT 8:19 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Torkildson was unable to attend the meeting. He
stated this property is just south of the Medtronic bui7ding. It is the low-
land property along Rice Creek. The County is purchasing this as part of the
Rice Creek Regional Trail West, which is part of the Regional Trail System.
Medtronic has agreed to the purchase, and the Fridley City Council has agreed
to the Anoka County plan for the Rice Creek Regional Trail System. The City
Council has also agreed with Medtronic that for any reason of dedication of
this property, the City would allow Medtronic to build to a density of 40%
which would have included the property in the first place. That was one of the
conditions of the purchase agreement for the purchase of the park property.
Mr. Harris stated there probably should be some kind of agreement that the
City and the County are not responsible for any necessary soil corrections due
to the creosote problem.

defend. Mr. Boardman stated they have never had any problem with this language
in the Zoning Code, and he would recommend that there be no change at this time.

B. InduStrial ReVenue Bonds
Mr. Harris stated that at the City Council public hearing on the
industria7 revenue bond request for office construction at 73rd &
University, it surfaced that there were no guidelines or criteria
for issuing industrial revenue bonds in frid7ey. So, they would
like the Community Development Comnission ta try to put tagether
some guidelines for industrial revenue bonding.
Mr. Oquist stated this was a good time to bring up a concern that
the Community Development Corrnnission had expressed at their last
meeting. The Commission members are concerned that the Community
Development Commission is not doing much, and the feeling is that
the Comnission could be more involved in a lot of things that are
going on at staff level.
Mr. Oquist stated that before the Commission can work on any guide-
lines, they will need to have some information on industrial revenue
bonds so they can gain a better knowledge of what industrial revenue
bonds are atl about.
