HEARING�REOPENED AT 7:35 P.M.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21, 1981 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated he had met with Winfield Developments, Inc. He stated
they have drawn up a new development as suggested by the Planning Commission
at their tast meeting. They have split the buitding. They are proposing that
the building on the north rema9n cor�nercial zoning, and the building on the
south go to M-1 industrial. There are 40 feet between the entrances of the
two buildings, and 50 feet between the part of the building that go in.
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Gerald Paschke, one of the neighbors who objected
to the development, has written a letter to Mr. Narris, Chairman of the
Planning Commission. One of the conditions Mr. Paschke would like to see is
that t�e property on the north end, Lots 2 and 3, reroain commercial, and the
three lots to the south, Lots 4, 5, and 6, be zoned industrial for development.
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Anderson, architect far Winfield Qevelopments,
Inc., was in the audience and would answer any questions.
Mr. Darrell Anderson stated he thought one of the primary reasons the proposal
was objectionable was the overall length of the pr�ject. They have now come
back and have demonstrated they can split the bui7ding. Thay have lost some
square footage. They now have 94,000 sq. ft. .Their intention is still to have
the similarly low profile structure.
Mr. M 8erson stated there was so�e concern at the last meeting about the docks
facing south towards the new community park. They have redone the building so
the docks face to the north.
Mr. Anderson stated another concern at the last meeting was the height of the
structure and what is going to be seen. He stated that, in traveling past
the stracture, people are really only going to see the foliage and the wa11s,
and ottly about four foot maximum height of the structure is going to show behind
the walls.
Ms. Schnabel asked if Winfield Developments, Inc., was stil] requesting the
entire strip to be rezoned to M-1> or in view of the fact that they had changed
one bu9lding to office and the other building to light industrfal, were they
splitting the zoning into two sections?
Mr. Taylor stated they have had discussions with the City Attorney and are,
hopefully, goirrg to receive an opinion from the City Attorney which would
allow the office/warehouse type of use that fs contemplated in both buiTdings
to be allowed in a commercial district. With that in mind, they can delete
the rezoning of the northern building and retain it as commercial. That would
prec]ude manufacturing type uses, but it would allow the affice/warehouse.
So, in essence, they are changing their zoning.
Mr. Harris stated he had received the letter from Mr. Paschke dated Jan. 16, 1981,
in which Mr. Paschke had stated he was unable to attend this Planning Comnission
meeting. Mr. Paschke had stated the Paco Industrial Aark opened less than two
years ago, and he felt that, given reasonabie time, future development will be
sat9sfactory to all. Mr. Paschke stated fie felt the best plan would be for
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21, }gg� PAGE 3
Lots 2 and 3 to remain commercial and Lots 4„ 5, and 6 would make a good
industrial site which, if done properly, would not distract from the Park to
the sauth, the office building to the north, or the rest of the industrial
property to, the west. Mr. Paschke had stated rezoning the entire property
from commercial to industrial and constructing two bui�dings would not be
acceptable to him. In his opinion, there should be a commercial buffer between
the office huilding and the industrial area. He also felt the property does
not meet any of the requirements for zoning (hardship or need).

LETTER FROM GERALD W. PASCHKE DATED JAN. Z6, 1981.

UPON A WICE VOTE, ALL VOTSNG AY&, CHAIRMAN HRRRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIE'D
UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Schnabel stated that at thelast meeting, she had stated she was opposed to
the rezoning. Since then, she has spent some time doing some background work.
She felt the Planning Commission was under a false impression at the last
meeting. She had checked to see when the property was actual7y platted and
zoned, and it was approved by the City Council in Feb. 1979. At the last
rt�eeting, they were led to believe it was onty six months ago, when it actually
has 6een almost two years ago. She had also checked the Planning Commission
and City Council minutes> and the basic concerns for the entire area at the
time the platting occurred were with: (1) the setback requirements, basically
along 73rd Ave. What was going to happen with the buildings built on 73rd
because of the difference in zoning across the street? arrd (2) the drainage
problem.
Ms. Schnabel stated there was not alot of discussion in the Planning Commission
or City Council minutes in terms of concern over this,strip of land along
llniversity being commerciat and M-1 and M-2.
Ms. Schnabel stated she still has the concerns she expressed at the last
Planning Commission meeting as to what happens if this land is rezoned and
these developers are unable to either secure financing or proceed as proposed.
She would 7ike the Planning Commission to consider a stipulation, if they do
approve the rezoning, that should this proposal fa71 through for any reason,
the rezoning would revert back to the original zoning.
Ms, Hughes stated she liked the split in zoning. She has had some further
thoughts about the need for office space in the Twin Cities and northern
suburbs. She had done some looking at trends, and she has changed her mind
a little bit in terms of the kind of need and desirability of that kind of
space. She stated she was not so concerned about all of the lots remaining
commercial. She would just as soon give a straight rezonirtg and was comfortable
leaving it that zoning for whatever developer comes along.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21 1981 PAGE 4
Ms. Modig stated she did not like spot zoning, although this proposal seemed
like a good use for that land. She stated that if this development falls
through for any reason, she would feei mone comfortabTe having the rezoning
revert back to commercial.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THfi PITBLIC HEARING
OPEN AT 8:23 P.M. � � �
Mr. Boardman stated this property was located in Sylvan Hiils whTCh is a
residential area. The property is presently zoned industrial. The property
to the porth is zaned M-2, built on by RAO Manufacturing which presently has
an industrial structure. The property due east is presently zoned R-3,
multiple family structures are located'there. The property to the south is
a11 single famiiy homes, and the property to the west is industriai (the rail-
road tracks).
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21, 1981 PAGE 5
Mr. 8oardman stated that Mr. Doty and Mr. Wellner, the petitioners, are in
the audience. They would like to have this property rezoned to residential;
h�wever, at this time, they do not have any plans as to what kind of residentia]
wil,l be developed. Mr. Doty stated he wanted to maintain some flexibility,
and the most flexi6le zoning is R-3.
Mr. Doty stated there is mu7tiple residential adjacent to this property.
He and Mr. Wellner are looking for a down zoning from light industrial (M-lj
to R-3. He stated he would be willing to answer quest.ions and would be
interested in hearing any objections.
Mr. Boardman stated they have an unusual situation here where an industrial
piece of property is locked against a residential area. There is no other
access to the property unless the property was purchased by RAO Manufacturing
and utilized this property for development. Right now, the only access to
this piece of property is through the residential area; therefore, it is
something that should be considered in the discussion tonight.
Mr. Harris asked how large the parcel of land was.
Mr. Doty stated it was 88,00� sq. ft. This.area would comfortably take a
34-unit building with garages. As suggested by Mr. Boardman, R-3 gives them
some flexibility, and they would rather go R-3 than industrial. he stated he
has no plans at this time. He has some thoughts, but will go with whatever
is financially feasible. If the large multiple complex is not feasible
because of financing, they would have the flexibility to go into quad-homes--
that kind of thing.
Mr, Harris asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak to this item.
Mr. Robert Lee> 130 Satellite Lane, stated he was invo7ved with this, because,
being in real estate, he had worked with this piece of land for about ten years.
He stated wou]d like to tell the Planning Commission some of the problems with
this land. Mr. Lee stated the land was ovmed by Erick LeVine (Carlson-Levine,
Inc.), who developed the whole area of Sylvan Hills. Mr. Lee stated he sold
most of the land in Sylvan Ni11s, and one of the questions asked by the new
owners was what was going to be done with the land. Ne told them he did not
know, because it was zoned industrial. At the time, he thought that some-
time in the future, the land might have one-story rental units for storage,
which would not disxurb the residential area, or single family homes.
Mr. Lee stated that Satellite Lane is a very narrow street; it is only about
60 feet wide and is one of tbe narrowest streets in the area. Traffic is very
bad on ihat corner.
Mr. Lee stated this particular land is also high--about 8 feet hig�er than the
street. Because of the sewage lift station, because of the sewer in the
street, and because of the multiple family units already on Sate7lite Lane,
people are concerned because there is already too much traffic on the street.
and they are concerned that the sewer can't handle that many more units.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21, 1981 PAGE 6
Mr. Lee stated there have been so many accidents on that street that the City
posted "no parking" signs on the street. So, there is no off-street parking.
They just can't put that many more families on that street. But, this is
Mr. Doty's and Mr. Weliner's land, and they should have the right to do some-
thing with it. f
Mr, Michael Larson, 6390 Starlite Blvd., stated that the mailing list shown on
page ]6 of the agenda excludes everyone on Startite Blvd., of which he is one.
His home.is the only home in Fridley that abuts the property, and he was not
notified on the hearing on the rezoning or on the easement that adjoins his
property. He stated the neighbors are concerned about traffic. Secondly,
considering the number of rental units already on Satellite Lane, they feel
that is rtare than enough for their area. He would never agree to another
apartment building on that site. Duplexes might be o.k. if they were owner-
occupied, but most of the neighbors are opposed to any rental housing on the
site, He would also ]ike to mention that there is quite a bit of pedestrian
traffic on the easement, and that is a concern that has to be considered.
Mr. Doty stated he was a litt7e bit puzzled, becaase these people bought their
properties knowing this property was zoned M-1. He and Mr. Wellner are looking
for a down zoning from M 1.
Mr. Wellner, 6221 Sunrise Dr. N.E., stated he was the original purchaser of the
property. Ne bought•the land as M-1 with the intent to develop it light
industrial, He and Mr. Doty are now 9n partnership. They decided that because
most of the area is residential, they should go to the best use possible in
residential, which would be multiple housing. They feel this is considering
the peaple who live adjacent to tNe property. As tar as Satellite Lane, they
now have a piece of property located on the corner which can go out Starlite
Blvd. As implied, the traffic does not have to go up Satel7ite Lane. It may
exit another way going out 61st and out to University. As Mr. Doty had stated,
these people should have been aware that this property was zoned M-1, and he
and Mr. Doty would be within their rights to put in light industrial. But,
they are considering the neighbors when they are asking for the down zoning to
R-3.
Ms. Judy Kidder, 6360 Starlite B1vd., stated they addressed the Planning
Commission three years ago concerning this Tand. It is a family neighborhood,
and there are lots of small children. Because of the narrow street, there are
chiidren ptaying in that area. 7here is plenty of traffic with the multip7e
family units already there. There is a continual change in occupancy in a
multiple dwelling. This is a family-centered area, and it would really change
the character of the neighborhood to continue to pull that multiple family
dwelling situation into a family section. She stated they bought their house
four years,ago, and they were not aware that this property was zoned M-1.
She did not think a lot of people knew that.
Ms. Pautette Reid, 101 Sylvan Lane, stated that the site in question was not
visible from her house, and she Tiked that. 3he stated it was not feasible
to do a lot of industrial things with the land and maybe that is the reason
PLMlNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21, 1981 � PAGE 7
for the down zoning on the land now. She stated a lot of people were not
notified about this rezoning, but they are here and that personifies the
closeness they have in this neighborhood.
Mr. Dennis Johnson, 6336 Starlite Blvd., stated he definite7y objected to the
traffic already going up Satellite Lane. Children fiave to cross the street to
get to the park.
Mr. Jerry Severt, 100 Satellite Lane, stated he moved into his house in June.
He knew there were apartment buildings there, and that was fine. But he would
like to.mention that he did not feel that the street could handle any more
apartments. He lives right on the corner and knows the traffic situation.
Ms. Caroline Johnson,6336 Starlite Blvd., stated there is na curb on the
street and they have had people drive up nn their yard. They do not need any
more traffic.
Mr. Wellner stated he also lives in Sylvan Hills. He stated the sewer has also
backed up at his house, but it is not because of the a�,artmenis or the sewage
station. It is.a much bigger prohlem. He also is somewhat concerned, and that
is why he felt R-3 was better than light industrial for that 1and.
Mr. Michael Larson stated he would not object to RAO Manufacturing purchasing
the land, because they have always maintained their 6usiness very well:
Ms. Judy Kidder, 6360 Starlite Blvd., stated they are also concerned about the
upkeep and appearance of apartments or multiples. They are concerned about the
appeararice of the neighborhood.
Mr. Lee stated the apartment buildings across the street on Satellite Lane
have always maintained a very nice front, and there is no problem with that:
Mr. Doty stated the land is presently zoned M-1 which would allow for the
construction of a 37,000 sq. ft. facility. Ne had talked to some of the
neighbors, and had talked at some length with the City Planning Department
about the inherent problems. It was their thought that the multiple residential
was a compromise between the single family the neighborhood would like to have
and the light industrial which it was possible to build with the present zoning.
Ms. Schnabel stated the people should be aware that the current zoning, M-1,
allows for other things 6esides light industrial; for example, a cleaning
plant or laundry, warehousing, retail sales building, offices, etc. She could
understand them not wanting a targe density of ,traffic throuqh the area, yet
some of these other uses might produce the same effect if developed under M-1.
It seems the property is too expensive to be developed as single family resi-
dential. It comes down to working oui a compromise between light industrial
and the apartments. She did not think it was realistic to deny the rezoning
request and leave the property empty. There is an enormous demdnd for vacant
land in Fridley.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21, 1981 � PA6E 8
Mr. Larson stated his concern was that if the�rezoning was passed for R-3,
it was like a blank check and they would have no right later on to deny what
goes in on that property. He asked if the consideration of the rezoning
request could be deferred until Mr. Doty and Mr. Wellner could bring in a
specific plan of what they would Tike to do. The main concern here is that they
are losing some element of control, whatever it might be, by taking one step
back on the rezoning.
Mr. Wellner stated that it was a nice suggestion, but there are dollars and
cents indolved. The neighbors are asking he and Mr. Doty to put out additionaT
'money to put together a plan, because they were not able to do that at this
point, Among other reasons, they do not know what monies are going to be
available.

CLOSED AT 9:43 P.M.
Ms. Hughes stated she has a lot of sympathy for these people's argument.
Ms. Modig atated she also has a lot of sympathy with the probTem, but she would
be more comfortable with the rezoning if the petitioners had some type of plans.
MOTION BY MR, WHAR7i�N��SECONDED BY MS. SCNNABEL, TO RECOMMEND TO�CITY COUNCIL�
DSNIAL OF REZONING REQUEST ZOA N80-06 BY W. G. DpTY AND GARY A. WELLNER.
Ms. Schnabel stated she felt the neighbors had a lot of valid arguments. She
was not convinced they would be any happier with sanething under M-1, but
they also did not seem to be happy with R-3. There did not seem to be any
alternatives, other than R-1, and she had not heard the petitioners expressing
the opinion that they would wish to change the rezoning to R-1. For that
reason, she would go a7ong with denial.
Ms. Hughes stated that, rather than deny the rezoning request, she would
rather have a motion to continue the item and ask the petitioners to come
back with some plans. Denial leaves the problem of M-1, and she was convinced
that M-1 was not a good use for that site.

A. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION OF SECTION 205.157, CREEK AND RIVER PRESERVATION DISTRICT:
Mr. Boardman stated it had been their intent to get this section accomplished
with the Zoning Code, but due to the timetable, they have to pull the Flood
Plain Ordinance out of the Zoning Code and recodify it based on input received
from the Federal Government. If this is not adopted by Mar. 2, 1981, all of
the hauses in the flood plain will lose their eligibility for subsidized flood
plain insurance.
Mr. Harris asked how this ordinance was different from the one they had reviewed
in the Zoning Code.
Mr. Deblon stated there were a few different definitions,and language changes.
Mr. Boardman stated that, basically, there were reference changes and just minor
changes. They are not changing any requiremer,ts. They still have the flood
fringe that is buildable as long as it is tiuilt within the regulations.
There is one change, and that is the Moore Lake Area. He stated the Flood
Insurance Plan designated Moore Lake area as,a flood plain area.
PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21, 1981 PAGE 10
Mr. Deblon stated they were looking for a management concept for the Moore Lake
area, but it is still unresolved as far as the Watershed District. This would
a71ow them to build in the flood plain of Moore lake. The Watershed D9strict's
policy is that there is no encroachment of building in any flood plain, so they
are working with the Watershed District on this item.
Mr. Boardman stated he needed approval of this document and submission to
City Council.
Mr. Harris stated that if there were no substantial changes and it really
doesn't affect any land, other than the Moore Lake area, he did not see any
problem with it.

Mr. Dick Narris
Chairman, Planning Commission
City of Fridley
Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Dear Dick:
I am unable to be at the meeting to express my feelings at the second
hearing on the rezoning of Lots 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, Paco Industrial Park.
I have given this matter much thought over the last few weeks since
the first hearing.
As you know, this property will be developed. 'fhe Park opened less
than two years ago. L feel if we give it reasonable time, future development
will be satisfactory to all.
In my opinion the best plan would be for Lots 2 and 3 to remain commer-
cial with commercial property such as the post office, a medical clinic, good
restaurant, Capp Homes, etc. I feel Lots 4, 5 and 6 would make a good indus-
trial site, which if done properly, would not distract from the Park to the
south, the office building to the north or the rest of the industrial property
to the west.
Rezoning the entire property from corranercial to industrial and construct-
ing two buildings would not be acceptable to me. In my opinion there should be
a commercial buffer between the office building and the industrial area.
I feel the property does not meet any of the requirements for re2oning.
(Hardship or need.)
GWP:smh
Sincerely,
G. W ASCHKE PROPER I

Chairperson Hu9hes declared the minutes approved as written.
APPROUAL OF AGENQA:
The following items were added to the agenda:
"Knigfits of Columbus Annual Snow Days" - Item D under "Director's Report"
°League of Women Voters" - Item A under "Chairperson's Report"
"Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting Site" - Item B under "New Business"
Chairperson Nugfies declared the agenda adopted as amended.
1. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
A. Nature Center Facility Update
Dr. Boudreau stated they should be moving into the facility within
a week. They are not moving in until some minor things are corrected
to their satisfaction. He stated the different colored panel in the
kell wa11 has been reptaced, and the new folding curtain for the front
window has been installed. This should help provide security on the
windows in the front.
B. Winter Programs
Dr. Boudreau stated winter registration began on Monday, �an. l2.
Registration has been unbelievable, and for only the third day of
registration, it is topping any expectations they had. It looks like
most of the programs will have waiting lists within a week. With the
waiting list, they try to accommodate these people by arranging other
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 14, 1981 PAGE 2
meeting places, other classes, or other instructors. They have the
policy that non-residents must wait one week in order to let fridley
residents have the first opportunity.
C. Jaycee's Donation
Dr. Boudreau stated he was notified on Monday by Kurt Schrupp,
President of the fridley Jaycees, that the Jaycees will be forth-
coming with a'donation and pledge of $6,000 to the City of Fridtey
for the purchase of scoreboards at the new community park complex,
with the stipulation that there 6e a sign identifying that the score-
boards were purchased and donated by the Fridley Jaycees. The
Jaycees hope that the City Council will receive this gift in a two-
year period--$3,000 in 1981 and $3,000 in 1982.
br. Boudreau stated that the Jaycees have also expressed the opinion
that, even though`they do not have any money, they are willing to
donate manpower for whatever is needed at the nature center facility.
D. Knights of Columbus Annual Snow Days
Dr: Boudreau stated this was for the Commission's information. Each
year the Knights of Columbus have an annual Snow Days. They have
sno�vmubiling for the nuns at the new community park complex. They
have been given permission to do that with proper insurance and the
po]ice have been notified. He stated he has talked to them about the
lack of snow, and if there is not enough snow, that event will not
be held. But, tBe skating, lunch, bingo, and other activities will
all be held. He stated he wanted the Commission to know that this
is another group that the City assists and works with.
Dr. Boudreau stated they also made a presentation to the Knights of
Columbus Board regarding the community park complex, and the Knights
of Columbus Board was fairly positive in terms of a donation towards
the development of the new complex. This has been taken under advise-
ment, and that decision should be forthcoming within a month whether
or not the Knights of Columbus will decide to help the City with that
project.
2. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:
A. League of Women Voters
Ms. Hughes stated that the League of Wdmen Voters will be having two
r+�etings th9s month in order to seek informati�n about the commun9ty
park complex and the recreation building. Mr. Allen will be speaking
to the League on Jan. 14 and possibly on Jan. 27.
Mr. Allen stated he was given four points the League would like
addressed: (1) why the citizens' advisory cormnittee was formed;
(2) the building proposition; (3) the history of the property; and
(4j the phitosophy of the Commission towards recreation.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 14, 1981 PAGE 3
Mr. Allen stated'that if the Commission members had any information
regarding the Commission's philosophy, he would be gTad to hear it.
Ms. Hughes stated she thought it has been fairly traditional for
the Farks & Recreation Commission and the recreation staff to have
the philosophy that recreation is meant to be a participatory thing,
not necessarily competitive. They also don't necessarily compete to
offer a program if it is being offered adequately somewhere eise.
Dr. Boudreau stated the Staff's philosophy is as Ms. Hughes has
stated, in that they try to fill the needs they see in the comnunity
and the interests people have expressed to them that is not being
offered elsewhere or being offered at too high a price. They also
have a working agreement with Corrmunity Education on program offerings.
Ms. Hugfies stated they also do not try to make money and they are
trying to offer programs to every age group or interest group ranging
from•preschoolers ta the elderly,and passive to active.
Mr. Allen thanked Ms, Hughes and Dr. Boudreau for that input. He
stated he wouid also mention to the League of Women Voters his concern
�of-the emphasis on the neiqhborhood aspect.
3. OLD BUSINESS:
A. Citizen's Adviso� Committee - Dan Allen
Mr. Allen stated they have been meeting regularly. He has been very
impressed with the involvement of the people. Everyone is working
very hard. Jack Nansen has been doing an exceptional job in chairing
the meetings. The input has been excellent, and everyone is contri-
buting. He stated they have had a lat of groups talk to the committee.
They have heard from Tom Myrha of Comnunity Education, the Fridley
5chool District, and Jim 6ilbert, Executive Director of the YMCA.
Several members of the committee were assigned to visit different
areas and report.
Mr. Al1en stated they have set up a calendar and have gotten things
pretty well organized as far as plans, and it looks like they are
going to make the March 1 target date. Ne stated they will be going
on a tour Saturday to visit the Northwest Racquet and Swim Club, the
gymnasium facility at North Hennepin Community College, the Northwest
YMCA, and possibly the YMCA at Arden Nills.
Mr. Allen stated they will be waiting for the results of the survey
sent out in the City Newsletter. They are going to start looking
at priorities.and see if the needs are being met by different agencies
in the area.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSI�N MEETING, JANUARY 14, 1981 PAGE 4
Mr. A71en stated the committee has realized that in order to make
an accurate decision, they are going to need a professional to
advise them on what a facility would cost. He stated the committee
has asked him to approach the Parks &-Recreation Commission, who in
turn can approach the City Council, to obtain funds to hire or
acquire someone in this capacity.
MD1'�ION BY MR, YOUNG, SECONDED BY MR. KON➢RICK, TO REQUE5T THAT THE
CITY COUNCIL PROVIDE FINANCIAL A5SISTANCE TO THE CSTIZENS� ADYISORY
GOMMITTEE TO DETERMINS A CAST ESTIMATE FOR.THE CON5TRUCTSON OF R
BUZLDING AT THE COMMUNITY PARK.SITE. �� � �
Mr. Bill Donahue stated he was the Chairman of the Gardena Committee,
although he was at the meeting only as a citizen. He stated the
committee had not seen any reason for knocking down Gardena Schoot
or turning it into a condominium when they knew there were people
]ooking for a school. He stated he wondered why the Commission was
not looking at Gardena School as a facility for recreation.
Mr. Donahue stated he lives right behind Gardena. That school was
closed for two years> and not one person or child was allowed to go
in and make use of that facility. The schools are rot used all day
Saturday or all day Sunday. A71 those gymnasiums are just sitting
there. The pool at the Jr. High is open for an hour at a time for
recreation.
Mr. Donahue stated the Commission members pay taxes to the School
Board. They have every right to speak up and get use of the schools
and facilities, and how much effort has been done to do that? They
are tatking about spending money for gymnasiums and a pool, and
these facilities are already here, That pool does not belong to
the School Board, but betongs to the ciiizens of Fridley.
Ms. Nughes stated the Commission was not saying they were going to
build a building on the park property. The whole reason for the Citizens'
Advisory Committee is to see if there are any needs for a recreation
building; and if there are, to tell the Commission what those needs
are and how much it will cost to build it. They were also charged
to look at what other facilities are in the area to serve these needs.
They have talked to all the pool directors. The decision on whether
or not to build wili not be made by this committee or the Parks &
Recreation Commission, although the Comnission will make a recomnendation
to the City Council. ,
Ms. kughes stated they have not been. up to see Gardena School, but
members of the committee do live near by, She has been interested in
other schools that have been closed in terms of alternate uses, and
they do get together on a community education group which coordinates
activities between the school and the Gity, aithough this was a
difficult process. She stated she was in complete sympathy with
Mr. Donahue.
PARKS & REGREATdON COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 14, 1981 PAGE_ 5
Mr. Donahue stated the point he was tryinq to make was that he,
personally, did not see a need for a recreational facility. Each
school property would be a terrific place to build tennis courts,
for example, rather than having tennis courts all in one place.
Mr. Allen stated the elementary schools have been discussed by the
committee. They have all four school districts represented on the
committee. It was the feeling of most of the commiitee r�mbers that
in the past, the eMphasis on recreation has 6een on the children, and
they feel it is time to put emphasis on the adults. One thing brought
up about the elementary schoo7s is that those facilities are designed
for children and the s ze does not conform to adults. He stated he
could assure Mr. Donahue that there are several people on the comnittee
who share his feelings.
Ms. Hughes stated Mr. Donahue's point was extremely well taken and is
something that needs to be remerobered.

Continued: loint Powers Rgreement - Anoka County
Dr. Boudreau stated this is the third time this fias been on the
agenda for some action by the Commission. According to Dave Torkildson,
the County has been given the funds. The money is in the County's
name in the bank from Metropolitan-Council for the purchase of Durham
Island, the right-of-way easement behind Georget�wn Apartments, and
for the State`s share of the monies to purchase the FMC property. On
the fMC property, they need to await federal approval before they can
go in and get appraisals, but they wi11 start with appraisals on
Durham Island and the parcel behind Georgetown Apartments. According
to the Master Plan, it has been a regionat park along the Mississippi
River; and in the Master Platt, they do include Islands of Peace section
the Hayes River Lots,Chase's Island, and Gil Hodges Island.
Dr. Boudreau stated this joint powers agreement does not differ much
from the one passed for Locke Park. This was first brought to the
Comnission in November of 1979 under "Old Business", "County Develop-
ment of the FMC Property". This was when the County brought in the
Master Plan. At that time, it was mentioned the City would have an
agreement with the County of some kind. Ne stated it behooves tt�e
Commission to_give the City Council a negative, positive, or no
direction on how to handle the joint powers agreement.
Dr. Boudreau stated he has talked with Irene Maertens about this
joint powers agreement. She is an immediate neighbor to the Islands
of Peace Park on Rivers Edge Way. She has had an opportunity to look
at the Joint Powers Agreement and the Master Plan. Her concerns were:
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSTON MEETING, JANUARY i4, 1981 PAGE 6
4.
That the map shows that all of Chase's Island is owned by
the City--not true. The County should be very accurate with
maps sho�n in publicity and planning. Where is t�e bike firail
going to leave Chase's Island--at the northern end by the
chain link fence or at the school yard? How is the County
going to handle the boundary problem at the northern end so
there is a definite boundary between park and private?
h�. Hughes stated that Dick Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commission,
who also 7ives in that area, indicated he thought there ought to be
a neighborhood meeting with the County people. He would tike to have
Dave Torkiidson come out and explain this, and Mr. Harris is going to
try to accomplish this.

Ms. Hughes stated she did not like the County's involvement in the

NEW BUSINESS:
R. Comnunity Education Coordination Committee Report
Dr. Boudreau stated this was for the Comnission's information. He
stated they received this document about a week before the Community
Education Coordination Committee's last meeting on Thurs., Jan. 8th.
Staffwise, they were quite shocked with the whole document.
Dr. Boudreau stated they went into a cooperative agreement with
Comnunity Education for its face value. Nowhere was it mentioned
in this report that it was on a trial basis. As far as the City is
concerned, it has been a very cooperative agreement. Community
Education has put it fn writing that said the cooperative agreement
was very good. Because of financial strains on their budget, all of
a sudden, if this committee report is approved by the School Board,
the City would no longer have a cooperative agreement which would
tend to lead to competitive programming, and the Gity would lose its
priority usage for the facility. Not only would they drop in
priority, but they would be subject to a pro-rated fee schedule if
it is determined they have enrollment fees that result in profit.
Dr. Boudreau,stated they do not make a profit on any of the programs.
Dr. Boudreau stated Staff was concerned with the contradictory state-
ment made in Item �2 on page 1: "If no agency exists for meeting a
particular community need, Community Education will seek to interest
local residents in developing a system to service that need."
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 14 1981 PAGE 7
Dr. Boudreau stated they felt Staff is doing a good job in meeting
a lot of the leisure time needs and could do much more program-wise,
but they don't because they do have a cooperative agreement with
Cortmunity Education.
Dr. Boudreau stated the whole thing is being looked at and will be
discussed. The City Council is aware of it and will be meeting
with the School Board. Jack Kirk is going to meet with the Finance
Corrmittee for Community Education. He staied he would try to keep
the Cort�nission informed an this item.
B. Parks & Recreation Canmission Meeting Site
Mr. Young stated he thought it would be nice if the Commission could
have their February meeting at the new nature center facility. They
could have a tour of the building and get a better understanding of
what•the building will be needing.

At the December meeting, the Comnission made a motion recommending that Staff
develop an ordinance on c�ndo conversion•licensing using the repealed
Qrdinance #209, Housing Maintenance Ordinance #673, State Chapter #582 on
Condominiums and Limited Partnership, and the recomtnendations made by the
Cotr�nission. At this tneeting, Mr. Deblon gave the Comnission members a drafted
ordinanca entitled, "An Ordinance Establishing Chapter 209 of Fridley City
Code Entitled 'Conversion Condominium' Licensing".
The Commission members reviewed the draft and made the following recort�nendations
for changes on page 2; �
2�9,05 ApQlication
No certificate of registration and application for conversion condominium

209.06 (Qld #Z under 2Q9.05) Condition of Approval
No certificate or registration and application for a conversion
condominium license shali be approved if there exists within the City
a sigrrificant shortage of suitable rental dwel7ings availab7e to low
and moderate income in�ividuals or families, or to establish or maintain
the City's eligibility for any federal or state program providing direct
or indirect financial �ssistance for housing to the city.
Mr. Oquist stated he wondered if there should be some statement in the ordinance
that refers to the state law, which would assure the City that the owner who
is going to convert is aware of the state law and is in compliance.
Mr. Deblon stated he agreetl with'the idea, but he would like to do some more
research before deciding v;hether this reference should be put into the ordinance.
Ms. Gustafson stated that under the new 2Q9.Ofi, the words, "significant shortage",
"suitabie rentat dweltings", and "low and maderate income" were judgmentai words
and should be deleted.
Mr. Deblon staied this was iaken right out of state law.

Mr. Oquist stated that the wording in 209.06 Should 6e clarified by Mr. Herrick
when he reviews the ordinance.
2. 07HER BUSINESS:
A. Industrial Revenue Bonding
Mr..Oquist stated that the City Council, through Planning Commission,
has asked the Community Development Commission to establish a policy
for industrial revenue bonding--some guide}ines that the City can
go by before approving industrial revenue bonding. He stated that
before the Commission can do that, they will need a better understanding
of what industrial revenue bonds actually are. They need some kind of
information from Staff in order to get a handle on it.
Mr. Deblon stated the League of Minnesota Cities is studying the
industrial revenue bonding issue, and they are going to be checking
•with'other comnunities and will be putting so�nething down on paper.
He stated he hoped to have some packet of information on industrial
revenue bonding for the Comm9ssian for their next meeting.
B. Discussion on the Purpose of the Communitv'Development Commission
Mr. Oquist stated there was some discussion at the last Planning
Comnission meeting on the purpose of this commission. Some discussion
aas that the Community Oevelopment Commission is a lot like a mini-
Planning Commission, and some of the things done by the Community DeYelopment
Canmission do overlap with other commissions. The Planning Commission
has requested that the Community Development Co�nnission discuss their
role as a commission. Mr. Boardman had stated there was a definite
need to redefine the goals of the Comnunity Development Commission.'
Ms. Gustafson stated she felt the Co�ununity Development Co�mnission
could play a useful role if they did establish some specific goals.
They could look at block grants, for example. She felt the new Reagan
administration will be big on housing block grants, and maybe as a
comnission, they can be active in the disbursal and use of these funds.
Mr. Oquist stated it was also suggested at the Planning Commission
that maybe the Commission ought to narrow its purpose and be more
specific as to what its purpose really is. The goats and objectives
written 3-4 years ago are very global.
Ms. Gustafson stated she did not know how much communication there
is among the commissions as to what is actually going on with each
commission. She thought the citizen corr�nissions could play an active
role in what is going on in the city and contribute to it. She did
not think the burden should lie on the Planning Department for resources.
They as a commission can famiiiarize themselves with the programs
available to the City and what the City has to do to meet criteria, the
financing mechanisms, and have proposals for plans laid out. Her� main
interest is in housing.

COMMUNITY -0EVELOPMENT COMiP9ISSI�N MEETING3 JANUARY 13, ]98] PAGE 4
Ms. Modig stated tfiat when she became�a member of the Commissian,
Mr. Boardman told them that he would like nothing better than for
the Commission to imp�ement their own programs, goa]s, and pr�jects
they felt were of interest and significant to the community. Basically,
she thought that was vahy they were a commission. They are supposed to
be representing the citizens.
Mr. Oqaist stated he agreed, but he felt the Co�nission has to be very
focal in the kinds of things they need to look at because there is
a Human Resources Commission concerned about the human resources in
tihe City, there fs an Environmental Quality Commission concerned about
the environmental aspects of the City, etr. Maybe Staff should suggest
the kinds of things that are avai7ab}e, and then maybe the Commission
ought to recemmen¢ to City Councii the priorities of the,kinds of things
they feel they should be doing,
Dr. Vos stated they had discussed all

Mr. Oquist requesxed Staff to send out a copy of the Commission's
current goals and objectives to each of the Commission members. He
asked each Commission �pember to be prepared to discuss these goals
and objectives at their ttext meeting. He stated it was his personal
opinion that the goa7s and objectives have to be changed and narrowed.

of not le,s tl�an 35 feet. �
AF�FEAI.S COMMISSION:MEETING - Januarv 27,.1981 Page 2
Yublic purpos� served by this requir.ement is to provide adequate cpen
space areas around commercial strUCLure, f:or aesthetic and fire fighting
purpones and to provide Aesired £ront yard spaca to be used for green areas
and to add to the attractability of a conunercial zone.
OR Section 205.113, 4C, 1E1, requires a rear. yard depth of not less than 25 feet.
Public j�urpose served by this requirei2ent is to provide adequate open
space around commeraial structures for aesthetic and fire fighting purposes.
B. STAR'ED FL4RDSIiIP:
Due to the odd st:ape of this property, and the single family residences
behind this p.roperty, the building would have to be located closer to either
the fzcnt or tl,e back 1ot linn chan would normally be required in order to
get the appropriate amount of parking spaces for an office structure,
C. ADMTNISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The staff recar,mer.ds that the. Appea7.s Commisszon stipulate that the new
building be placed no further west than the commercial structure to the
south of this site. This would position the building approximately 15 feet
off the front lot line at the northwest corner and give a 20 foot zear yard
(both dimensions are scaled).
Vice Chai.xwoman Gabel stated that this :iad been Seiore the Planni.ng Co�nission
on 12/17/80 for rezoning. Mr.�Clark stated that there were several neighbors
nt that nearing and it �ppeared tliat most of them wonld rather see it developed
into an office Huilding rath�r than an apartment building. He said it would be
better to encroach in the front yard, that it could be pushed forward 15 feet
and line up with the building to the south of it. Vice Chaixwoman Gabel stated
that she was at that public hearing and verified that the residents prefer
an office bui2ding rather than an apartment building. Mr. Clark said there are
three variances - parking lob, front yard and raar yard. He also said that part
of the zoning reguirement (when you have commercial next to residential) is to
have fencing that has to be 4 feet high.
Dr. Scharstein said he has owned the land for 2-1/2 years and the building will
have 9600 sq. feet (4800 sq. ft, each level) and there will be no barber shops or
beauty parlors. He has two tentative insurance tenants. Vice Chaixwoman Gabel
asked hpw soon he would start construction, Dr. Schurstein he had to get rezoning
and the variances before he crould approach financing. Mr. Haner Melton, 5334
4th Street N.E., was present, and suggested that Dr. Schurstein's fence match
the fence of the structure to tfie south, which is a 6 foot wood fence. He said
they have a lot of problems with kids and theis motor dirt bikes in the alley
and he came mostly to £ind out what is going to happen to the alley. Vice Chair-
woman Gabel informed him that he and his neighbors could come before the City
Council about the alley and that nothing will happen without notice of a public
hearinq. Mr. Clark agreed that the Council would have to make a decision on
the alley at a public hearing. Mr. Laurence M. Zi:mnerman, 5380-4th Street N.E.,
was present, and said he was iri favor of the office building but also expressed
concern about the a11ey. Ms. Laura Vaqovich 5400 N.E. 4th Street, was also
present, and expressed no objection to the office bu.ilding but was concerned about
the alley. MOTION by Mr. Sarna, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to close the public
hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE CHAII&IOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT B:10 P.M.

UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARfiD THE PUBLIC HEARING
REOPENED AT 7:38 P.M.
Mr. B oardman stated that Mr. Doty had contacted him and requested that the
Planning Commission continue this item until the Feb. 25 meeting. Mr. Doty had
stated he was getting a surveyor to find out exactly how much land he does have
in order to put together some plans for the Planning Commission for R-2 property.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time to notify the neighbors.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN6, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated that in view of the number of people in the audience and
the presence of a petition, the petition and any further testimony from the
people should be presented to the Planning Cor�nission.
(Ms. Hughes arrived at the meeting at 7:41 p.m.)
Mr. Michael Larson, 6390 Starlite Blvd., read the petition opposing the rezoning
from M-1 to either R-2 or R-3. He stated the names on the petition were just a
small sampling of the neighborhood. Many more people support these views and
they will be at the next Planning Commission meeting if needed.
MOTIDN BY MR. WHARPON� SECONDED BY MS. SCHNABSL, TO RECEIVE THE PETITION REQUEST-
ING THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO REJECT THE CONSIDERATION OF REZONING THIS PROPERTY
FROM M-1 TO EITHER R-2 OR a-3. (Petition �-�9g��
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYS� CHAIRMAN XARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Harris stated the petition was received and would accompany the Planning
Commission's minutes to the City Council on this item.
Ms. Judy Kidder, 6360 Starlite Blvd., stated they had spent the past week getting
organized and contacting other neighbors. They had made arrangements to come to
this meeting, and many of them had babysitters. She asked if the Planning
Commission could make a decision on this rezoning request that evening as none
of them had been notified of the request for continuation by the petitioners.
She did not think it was fair if this was continued.
Mr. Harris stated the decision to continue or move on this item was up to the
Planning Commission. He stated he was rather upset that Mr. Doty has asked for
a continuation at such a late date. Mr. Harrisstated he thought the Commission
had made it plain to Mr. Doty and everyone else concerned that he was expected
back at this meeting with his proposal.
Mr. Rice, 100 Sylvan Lane, stated that back in 1965, they had a problem with a
low spot in the Sylvan Hills area, but there were no complaints about flooded
basements or sewer problems. After Satellite East and West was built, all of
a sudden the City Engineering Dept. was flooded with complaints of flooded base-
ments and backed-up sewers. A new pumping station had to be built and water
mains enlarged. This cost the Sylvan Hi11s neighbors quite a bit of money.
He stated that, if additional units were built, would the present pumping station
be big enough to handle the extra sewage?
Mr. Boardman stated the City Engineering Dept. had looked at this and did not
see any problems.
Mr. Rice stated that he was told that Mr. Doty wanted a blanket permit to put
in whatever he wanted. What isto stop Mr. Doty from putting in 68 units instead
of 34?
PIANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 3
Mr. Boardman stated that 34 units is the maximum density Mr. Doty can put in
on that property with that zoning.
Ms. Carolyn Johnson, 6336 Starlite Blvd., stated that Mr. Doty and Mr. Wellner
had indicated they were concerned about their financial losses. She stated
that before they purchased theland, they should have made the agreement to
purchase the land only after it was rezoned to their liking--not to purchase
the land first and then decide they want it rezoned.
Mr. Longerbone, 180 Sylvan Lane, stated there are very few double 6ungaloes
in the City of Fridley that are decent, and why should their neighborhood be
ruined because Mr. Doty wants to put in double bungaloes?
Ms. Carolyn Johnson stated that Mr. Doty has commented on how beaufifu] his
duplexes are on 5th Street. She stated they are not beautiful, they look
terrible and are not kept up at all. She wished he was in the audience to
hear that.
Mr. Larson stated one of the big issues brought up at the last Planning Commission
meeting was the opinion that it was not financially feasible to develop this
property into single family homes. He stated he was convinced it was feasibte.
He thought the real point Mr. Doty was trying to make was the maximum profit
would be realized by rezoning the property to R-2. He stated their whole purpose
for being at the Planning Correnission in greater numbers this evening (and would
be in even greater numbers at any future meeting) was they feel any incremental
profit that might be realized 6y developing this property into double bungaloes
is going to be directly offset by their individual homes. They feel they have
enough multiple family housing and feel it would be a rea7 burden. They would
appreciate it if this request was rejected ai this time.
Mr. Frank Liebl, 222 Mercury Dr., stated he lives a block and a half away from
this property. He stated he could see both sides of the issue. He would like
to point out that they already have quite a few multiple housing units in R-3
which have created traffic problems. If more R-2 or R-3 are put in, it would
just multiply the problem from a traffic standpoint. He stated Mr. Doty and
Mr. Wellner have the right to develop their property, but even an additional 74
units are going to increase their traffic problem. If this property is rezoned
R-2 or R-3, he felt it would be detrimental to their neighborhood and would
compound the problem they are facing right now.
Ms. Jan Christenson, 6260 Starlite Blvd., stated that last sumner her husband
was granted a special use permit to build a garage with the intention of
buildiny a new home. Right now, as their plans stand, the house wi17 cost
around $130,000. Now they wonder if they should put that house there if these
units are to be built. What will be the value of that home two years from now
if those units are built?
Ms. Donna Messer, 114 Satellite Lane, stated she lives in the second house from
the end on Satellite Lane. She stated she watches the cars use this street as
a drag strip. A couple of children always play on the blind corner, and they
just happened to not be playing there one day when a truck drove up into the
neighbor's yard.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 4
Ms. Gail Ahrens, 198 Mercury Dr., stated they have suffered around $500-600
worth of damage from cars that come across their lawn and hit trees. She stated
they are fortunate that the Satellite Apartments are kept up as well as they are.
but this may not always be the case. She stated the apartment owners should be
comnended for the good up-keep of those apartrr�nts. She stated if duplexes are
added, the whole neighborhood could go down the drain financia)ly within a
couple of years.
Mr. Liebl stated they are not opposed to Mr. Doty doing something with his
property, but they have to look at what kind of impact this proposal will have
on this neighborhood.
Mr. Larson stated that Mr. Doty could come in with plans for the Taj Mahal, and
9f it is in an R-2 or R-3 zone, they wou7d be very much against it. He stated
that in the best interests of the Planning Comnission's time and their time,
they would appreciate ii if the Planning Cormnission would make a decision on
this proposal that evening.
MOTSON BY MR. WHARTON, SECONDED BY MS. SCHNABEL� TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING
ON ZOA $80-06 BY W. G. DOTY AND GARY A. W&'LLNfiR.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHRIRMAN HARRIS DECLARE'D THE PUBLIC HEARING
CLOSED AT 8:08 P.M.
Ms. Schnabel stated that last time when they heard this proposal, she seconded
and supported a motion to deny this request. She stated she did not have any
reason to change her mind; however, she was a little uncomfortable denying it
again in Mr. Doty's and Mr. Wellner's absence. She stated the petitioners have
paid $125 for the rezoning request and $125 for the vacation request, and she
felt uncomfortable denying them their "day in court". She stated she knows the
residents' feelings and she supports those feelings.
Mr. Wharton stated he felt that if the petitioners were that interested in their
$250, they would have been at the meeting.
Mr. Svanda stated he agreed with that and did not have any sympathy for the
fact that the petitioners were not at the meeting.
Mr. Harris stated he als4 agreed.
Mr. Treuenfels stated he did not see any reason to continue this item.
Ms. Hughes stated she also did not have any sympathy in terms of the money.
Mr. Doty came before the Planning Comnission unprepared and prematurely, but
she did think they owed him a hearing.

WESTERLY HALF OF VACRTED ELM STREET, 7ACATED SOUTH OF MISSISSIPPI STREEP, AND
EAST OF BURLINGTON NORTHERN�RIGHT-OF-WAY. THE REASONS FOR DENIAL ARE:
1. THE OVERWHELMING FEHLINGS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS DEMONSTRATED
BY THS NUMBERS OF PEOPLE AT BOTH PUBLIC HEARINGS AND BY THE
PETITION THAT WAS SIGNED BY THE NEIGHBORS; AND
2. THAT MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL ON TXAT�PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY
IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE NEIGHBORH00D WITH REGARD TO�
BASICALLY� TRAFFIC AND THE FACT THRT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALR&'ADY HAS
A RATHER HIGH IMPACT OF MULTIPLE DWELLINGS IN IT.

UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Harris stated that ZOA #80-06 was recommended to City Council for denial.
Mr. Boardman stated this wil7 be set up for a public hearing at City Council
on Mar. 9, 1981.
2. CONTINUED: VACATION REQUEST, SAV #80-14, BY W. G. DOTY AND GARY A. WELLNER:
Vacate that part of Minnesota Street, as ai out in LoweT`I—Addition to
Fridley Park; or Mercury Drive, as laid out in Sylvan Hills Plat 3, now
known as Satellite Lane, ]ying West of the Northerly extension of the West
line of Starlite Blvd., also being the East line of Lot 1, Block 4, Sylvan
Hills Plat 3.
Mr. Harris stated this was not a public hearing, but they would conduct it as
an informal public hearing.
Mr. Boardman stated at the end of Satellite Lane, the City has some street
right-of-way. The eventual plan at one time was that Satellite Lane would
cross the railroad tracks. He stated this is not going to happen. The petitioner
has requested vacation primarily because of additional land for development.
At this time, the City has no problem with the vacation. The City is not using
the street right-of-way and will not be using it.
Mr. Michael Larson, 6390 Satellite Lane, stated ha is really the only one
affected by this vacation as his lot line adjoins the easement. He has mixed
feelings about it, but he will not oppose the vacation in the hope that he
will see this property deve7oped R-1. If there was any chance it would be
developed R-2 or R-3, he would speak against the vacation.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 6
Mr. Boardman stated he wanted everyone to understand that he cannot keep the
petitioner from developing industrial if he so chooses as this property is
presently zoned M-1, light industrial.

ON SP #80-13 BY WALTER J. MILLER.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING
OPEN AT 8:32 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Miller was not in the audience. He stated Mr. Miller
intends to move the existing shed to the rear of the lot and build a new garage
off the existing blacktop area. Staff has no problem with this request, and he
has not received any objectian from the neighborhood. '
Mr. Harris stated this was a rather large accessory building, and he would
feel rather uncomfortable approving it without talking to the petitioner.
MOTION BY MS. SCHNABEL� SECONDED BY FiS. HUGHES, TO CONTINUE SP #80-13 UNTIL
THE NEXT MEETING AND REQUEST STAFF TO CONTACT FII2. MILLER AND.ASK THAT HE BE

FOR A REPAIR SHOP OR ANY BUSINESS-FOR-PROFIT ENTERPRISE.
Ms. Schnabet stated she could understand Mr. Svanda's feelings. Her perspective
came from being on the Appeals Commission where they hsar these kinds of
requests all the time. As a regular practice, the Appeals Commission has
always requested that the petitioner appear before them. They feel it is not
good policy to routinely approve things because a person fills out an application,
pays his fee, etc. By having the opportunity to sQeak to the petitioner, it
brings out a lot of information that is not contained in the 8 lines of print
on paper. Even though, on face value, it appears to be a very straightforward
and simple request, they have often found many under1ying reasons and circum-
stances. One important thing requested by the Appeals Commission which must
be included in the hearing is the hardship of the petitioner--why the petitioner
needs what he is requesting. She stated that in this case, there is no hardship
shown. Why does the petitioner need this building and why should the Zoning Code
be circumvented or altered to permit the construction of this building? For
these reasons, she stated she could not support the motion to approve the special
use permit.
Mr. Harris stated he concurred with Ms. Schnabel.

these kinds of things. She did not think it was in the City's best interest
to act on things when they do not have the opportunity to speak to the petitioner.
Mr. Harris requested Staff to ask the petitioner to be at the next meeting.

agenda. It made it a lot simpler to set up a new addition, calling it Midwest
Addition, Block 1, Lot 1. This is included in the lega7 description so they
did not have to readvertise the legal description. He stated this property is
presently owned by Midwest Printing Company, but they cannot close on the
property until this is straightened out. Mr. Hamlin is in the audience to
answer any questions. City Staff has no problems with this request.

Mr. Wharton stated the Energy Commission has been reviewing the Zoning Code and
has received some recormnendations from Staff for the Energy Commission's
consideration. Ne would not like to see this document concluded until the
Energy Comnission has passed on their recommendations and comments to the
Planning Commission.
Mr. Boardman stated he would like to get all the Planning Corronission's considera-
tions done, so that when they get the Energy Co�renission's concerns, they can
deal only with those concerns.
The Corrrnission began reviewing the Zoning Code on page 74, C-3 District Regulations.
Mr. Boardman stated that wherever it is stated "on file in the office of the
City Engineer", it should be changed to "on file in the office of the �Cit�"
Also, wherever it is stated "by the Zoning Administrator", it should be changed
to "by the _Ci��t " Mr. Boardman stated that under "Drainage and Grade Require-

12. OTHER BUSINESS:
Ms. Schnabel stated she had been reviewing old Planning Commission minutes.
In the June 9, 1980, Special Planning Commission meeting minutes, one of the
questions the Planning Commission had discussed was when should there be public
hearings for public improvements. The Planning Coranission did not come up with
any special definitive answers, but they had requested Staff to write a letter
to the Charter Comnission asking them to review this. She thought it was
important that the Planning Commission follow up on this as she did not know
if a letter was written or if the Charter Comnission had done anything about it.
She would like Staff to send a follow-up letter to the Charter Commission and
report back to the Planning Corranission.
* � * * * *
Mr. Harris stated he had talked to the City Council at their Jan. 26 conference
meeting about the Housing Section. The City Council apparently does not share
the Planning Cortunission's concern about providing the opportunity for affordable
housing in the City of Fridley. They seem to feel they have made a covenant
with the City to maintain 9,000 sq. ft. lots and maintain the level of affluence
they now enjay. He stated he isi�r promoting reasonable and affordable housing
in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Treuenfels stated he agreed that housing is one of the concerns he also has
for the City of Fridley.

HUMAN RE50URGES COMM255IOR MEETING, JANURAY T5 1981 PAGE 2
is. then the respisnsibi'lity of the pub9ie govern�:nt, not only from
•the municipal level, but also from the state and federal level?
It becomes their`problem.
2. What is the responsibi°Tity to the City`as a whole as a home,-not
only to the resid�nts of the City, but what'can the City do to
attract tourism attractions or other-Visitors to the urban center?•
It is of economic value'to the City o` Minneapolis to have those
vis:itors. It is also of economic value to hold residents, io hold
:the poputation, because of the services they receive from the City.
3.. What is the responsi�77ity of public government to the individual
practicing artist? T�18t'2 ]S quite a bit of controversy in this
area. Gover�nment shows very little regard f�r any specific profession.
Most people have a very:romantic vfew af the artist. They think of
an ar.tist as one wt�o wears a 6eret, fias a patette with a brush; and
lives in a garret. There is a creative worker within our society,
artd ihose ct'eatiue workers are involved in many aspects that reach
people in different ways. If a11 those engaged in creative employ-
ment such as graphic arts, drawing, mal�ing images, performers,
m4sicians, �riters, etc., were to go on strike, there would be no
products on Lhe ma�ke�, For the most part, tfie>artist is disregarded
as a worker so-the3� feet the respons9biaa ty from ihe.point of view
of the city, especia'fly'Minneapotis, who depends very much on the arts.
The arts is a very'ir�4rtant industry to �tinneapolis, so they are
concerned about the civic responsibility to a certain broad industry.
Ms; Eharles stated her cvrron#ssi�n is thought of by other comnissions in other
cities as being rather avant-garde. ' Minneapolis has a lot more tir� and space
to really deal with prflblems as they emerge. As a director of an agency, she
finds she can respond to that siyle. SHe can take her time,:think, and do long
range.planning, As an agency, they are respopsible for delivering to the City
Cauncil programs that fortify what ts inherent in their responsibility.
Ms. Charles stated most people think of the arts as a"frili". This pretty
rr�ich comes from a history in the United States of.an unwillingness to fund or
allow tax dollars to� toward things that do not directly re]ate to the ability
to earn.an income, thought they were now begimting to realize that their
culture and ability to appraach the humanities is absoiutely crucial for their
future. Also, as a city artd as a country, havfng a great mixture of people,
races, and nationalities, they should regard the;sultures of others very highly
and a11ow for transia�ian of those culture into vur culture and also aT�ow
that dialogue to pernieate beyond that so an American culture begins'to exist
out ofi it. She statee! this is just beginning to happen.
Ms: Charles stated th� reason for a commission at this time is becoming
important throughout the coqntry.; A commission is very different from an arts
councit. A conanissiort is ger�erally an official politica7 body attached"to

easily through the arts than it can through i�ndividual citizens. It is
- important for correnun�ties to Melp artists. Artists generally leave a co�nunity
because tfiey,feel the society or the piace where they live is not interested
in what they do or who they are, or they cannot`firrd work. She'stated the
C:€.7.A. programs pravided a Tot of opportunities for artists in corr�nunities.
41hat they d9d in thase programs was tota7ly astoundi'ng. The community'can
become aesthetical7y beaWtiful by finding funds so that artists can wark with
the community througt� murals,.sculptures, street furntture, lighting, side-
waiks, etc. It can be inexpensive or very expensive, but she did believe it
shaufid be planned witF� the cormnunity.
Mr. WeTch asked Ms. Charles what the source of funding was for the Minneapolis
Arts Gottmission.
Ms.Charles stated th� Co�tission c�nsists of 1? cor�ission members besides
herself. They receive a� appropriation from-the City of Minneapolis: They
raise a lot of their own money outside of the city appropriation.` In the past
five years, they have rafised over $2 mi7lion that has gone out into the
co�nunity. They have b funding program that is a voucher program and the
only one existing in 'the'United States that �eals with arts across the board.
Any community can cor� to them with an idea it wants to impiement in the arts
to!purchase arts services. 'ihe community has to put up one-third of the cost
of-the program in cash, and the Minneapolis Rrts Commission puts of two-thirds.
'ihe corranunity does get the money back.
Mr. Treuenfets and the Commission members thanked Ms. Cfiarles for coming to
the meeting.
