with her but outlined the scoring sheet, and it's function.
She stated that there is a list oY criteria, such as a reasonable
request accordin to their total budget requirements, such as
if they request �$,000.00 and their•total budget is $150,000.00
that would be reasonable, versus if they were to request their
total budget. Also she stated that another category would be
how the money was to be used, as would it be used to service
the City of Fridley, or used to expand the administrative
part, and also how many people in Fridley would be receiving
the service. Another criteria, is, could this service be
provided by some other group either within the City or within
the County, or within a reasonable distance. She further stated

the Commission is able to give each funding request a numerical
scoring by which they can then prioritize the requests, that

for direction, and that they are looking at Block Grants, and
at Community Housing.
Mr. Harris stated that he is concerned about the use of Industrial
Revenue Bonds, in regards as to the Nay some of Fridley's sister
Community's are using them to lure business's away from Fridley.
He stated that one pariicular incident he was aware of, had
concerned him, but his real concern was that this was not an
isolated incident. He stated that within the last week he learned
that Fridley will lose a 50,000 square foot building, and about
125 jobs due to some shananagins by Coon Rapids.
Mr. Boardman questioned if this business had approached the
City of Fridley with an Industrial Revenue Bond request.
Mr. Harris stated that this persan told him that he had, but
that the City wanted $$,000.00 first. to start the process.
Mr. Boardman stated that what the City requires is usually
$ 5,000 as a deposit to begin the process. but that this money
is used to cover administrative cost. That amount not used is returned to
the petitioner.
M r. Harris stated that he felt that the City should look into
this area and see how the people that request an Industrial
Revenue Bond are handled, and look at the process. He further
stated that Coon Rapids, had also stated that they would do
some gymnastics with the taxes, to attract business their way.
5C
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NLY 8, 1981 Pa�e 4
Mr. Harris stated that this particular type of tactics disturbs
him very much. because the City of Fridley is losing these
business's and theae jobs� plus the revenue it generates, ar�d
the tax base.
M r. Boardman questioned where thia business that Mr. Harris was
referrring to was located.
OSr. Harris stated that it was Advanced Machine, and they are
located on Beech Street. Ae further stated that they had
out grown their facility. and had some problems buildin� on
at that location, they were then going to build in the Paco
Industrial area and had already purchased land just north of
Frito-Lay. He stated that if Fridley's sister communities
are raiding the City's industrial base, that disturbs him
very much, and iY this indeed is happening. he felt that the
Planning Commission, the City Council. and the staff, should
have some discussions with the legislature. because that was
not the intent for the Industrial Revenue Bond,
Discuseion ensued concerning Industrial Revenue Bonds.

Truck Parking in Residential Districts
MOUNDS VIEW
• This City's ordinance is under review. It currently limits
trucks in excess of one ton from parking in residential districts
in excess of two hours. Off-street parking in residential
districts is allowed if 15 feet from the curb.
NEW BRIGHTON
No special truck restrictions.
SPRING LAKE PARK
The City Council of the City of Spring Lake Park finds that the
parking of large trucks, tractors, and other commercial vehicles
on the streets and rights-of way within the City, for other than
temporary parking for delivery or unloading, creates an unnecessary
risk of personal injury, creates ar. unsightly aDpearance within
the City and often produces excessi-.•� noise.
It is a violation of this ordinanc:. for any person to leave, park,
permit or allow any motor vehicl� described below upon any public
street or right-of-way:
a. Commercial trucks with over one-ton carrying capacity;
b. Tractors used for hauling trailers;
c. Trailers (the type pulled by tractor);
d. Commercial buses.
Temporary parking of such vehicles for delivery or unloading is
excepted from this ordinance.
FRIDLEY
No person shall park or leave standing a commercial vehicle,
whether attended or unattended, having a gross weight of more
than 13,000 pounds upon public streets in any residential district
for a period of time longer than four hours, unless in the process
of loading or unloading and then only for such period of time
necessary to load and unload.
It should be noted that truck parking restrictions tend to be politically
controversial as evident form attached newspaper articles relating to
Mounds View.
Page. Four
Truck Parking in Residential Districts
i2
Should our City Council feel that Fridley's ordinance be more restrictive,
I suggest the following factors be considered:
1. Definition of vehicles desired to be limited.
2. Complete restriction or specific hour(s) restriction on-street
in residential districts.
3. Restrictions off-street in residential districts.
If City Council desires modifications in our truck parking ordinance,
I would be glad to draft a revised ordinance based on Council's desired
changes.

near a rasidentia2 area and excessive use of billboards.
Appeals Commission Meeting - July 14, 1981 Page 2.
8. STATED HARDSHZP•
"The nearest sign is located on the east side of the railmad tzacks and
806 feet from the proposed siqn. Upon campletion of the canstruction of
the bridge planned for 1984, Naegele will move the sign at the railroad
tracks tc the west side of the tracks thereby conforming to the i000 foot
spacing requirm�t between signs. Therefore, our application is for a
apacinq variance nceded only t�porarily."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF RE{7IEW:
This sfgn is to be located in the southwest corner of the Holiday Village
parking lot and positioned to be view*ed fraan I-694. The sign will be
approximately 400 feet fran the residential area that is south of i-694
and approximately 806 £eet from the �cisting billboard to the west.
The 1�ppeals Oom�ission shnuld exmnine the real need for this sign and
qive attention to the following:
1. How can the desire to place another biiiboard be a legttfmiste hardship:
2. Were the conditions for placenent of billboards to be very firm
requtrements7
Denial of this petition should be considered aad Yiaeqele can wait until
future hiqhway ehanqes take place that will neceesitate relocation of
their eui,stirg siqn.
Mr. Clark reported, that, after the Staff Report was typed, it was noted by another
field inspection of the site there was anotAer Naegele billboard between Main
Street and I694. Ms. Jorgensen stated that in their application it says. "...
Upon appronal of this application and before construction of {�epmposed sign,
Naegele will remove the actvertisinq sign presently located in the NW Quadrant
of I-694 and Connty Road 102." She further stated that this meant they would
r�ove that sign if they get this new sign approved. She then shavea the Con¢ni-
ssion the �[isting billboard on the aerial niew of the area and shaaed them where
the single poster siqn is located and where +�e new one would be located.
She explained that when construction of the bridge is completed in 1984, they
plan to take the other sign down an8 move it and then they would meet the 1,000
foot distance requirement, She said as far as the distance from the residential
area, there wau2d be 400 feet and that there is also e sound barrier that protects
residential. She also explained that they have taken two other signs down in
the area and that is why they are malcin9 an aPplication for this new sign.
She also atated that when they take down the siqn next door and pnt up the new
sign there mill be less of a nonconformance than there is right now and it would
also be an improvmnpnt. She stated there is a sovnd and visual barrier for the
residential requir�nent. She further stated that she realizes that economic hard-
ahip is not �ough for businesses but they dfd lose two aigns. She reiterated
that this aaould be less of a nonconfozmance than it is right now by taking out the
sign in the middle and by 1984, they would be relocating the sign by the
railroa8 tracks. She stated that if the City wanted it, they would get rid of
the signs now.
Appeals C�issioa Meeting - July 14, 1981 Page_ 3.
Mrs. Gerou asked why they caould not wait until 1984 and Ms. Joxgense= said it
was because they have lost two signs. Mrs. Gerou then asked if these siqns
bring in any revenue to the city and Ms. Jorgensen said no, tfiey would only
benefit in that it would be less of a nonconforsance than it is now.
Chaixwoman Gabel thought it vrould be helpful to give some background about the
billboards and sign co�ittee. She said Naegele had a good deal of input on the
sign ca�ittee. She said the cc�ittee did not want signs uP but a consensus was
reacfied to nllow billboazds bnt to make code somewhat restrictive. She added
that there is a large proliferation of signs in the area of Highways 47 and 65
aad I694. Ms. Jorgensen said they are asking to staY at status quo and the
poster sign in tlie middle is on wood poles and the superstructure is not nice
lookin9 and they wauld be sttaightening that ont and making it nice and clean.
Mr. Barna asked about the prwcimity to the intersection and what is considered
the intersection. Mr. Clark said it would be where University crosses I694.
Cheirvroman Gabel felt that this mey have to be taken back to Plant�in4 for a
more exact definition.
Ms. Jargensen said if the Ccmmission was wosried about the sign possibly affecting
traffic and possible accidents, that she covld not imagine g billboard 300 £eet
away affecting the raaop. Chairwoman Gabel brought out a report from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation regarding accidents between 7th Street and East
Riner Road vrhich showed tfiat there had been 306 accidents in that area within a
2-year period CChaixwcman Gabel had this repart fman another matter). She £elt
that the ramp located there is so short and accelerates vnder the railroad bridge
that there could be a potential hazard and felt very strongly about adding
anything there. Mr. Jorgensen said studies have been done by the Federal Highway
Administration on effects of signs and traffic accidents and said they determined
that they could not pinpoint an accident that was cavsed by a sign. Chairwoman
Gabel felt people are not goinq to admit tA looking at a signwhile they btmiped
into the persan in front of them and ahe does have a concern ahout that,
She stated that are three signs alon9 there and alon4 7th Street and she had
some serious reservations about adding to that potential hazard. She also felt
that Naegele has not been able to identify a real clear-cut hardship; that taking
dovm a sign is not a valid reason. Ms. Jorgensen said she xealizes that economic
hardship is not enough for a business but that Naegele 8oes business here and tries
to be Pa±-t of the community. She also felt that they would be aesthetically im-
proving the area.
Mr. Barna was concerned about the sign that was going to be left up vntil 1984
and Ms. Jorgensen said their plan would be to move it to the other side.
Chaiztvaman Gabel atated tfiat if this variance was turned down and Naegele came in
again in 1984 and the other siqn had been taken down, they would still need a
variance for the residential requir�nent. Ms. Jorgensen felt that the barrier
pzotects the residential area. Chairwaman Gabel she she understands what Ms.
Jorgensen was saying about the barrier protecting residential but she felt that
the �barrier is not a significant reason for granting the variance. Ms. Jor4ensen
said that 500 £eet fra¢u residential is the larqest in the Twin Cities area.
Chairaoman Gabel stated that part of theproblem is that there is such a prolifera-
tion of signs in this city and she feels bound to what came out of the sign
committee (the sign co�nittee represents a very large cross-section of this
commnunity). She also felt that, because of the bad acceleration ramp, it wonld
be better if the sign were someplace else,
?4peals Commission Meetinft - Julv 14 1981 Page 4
Mr. Clark asked if the bottom of [he sign wauld be 11 feet above Main Street and
the top '14 �eet above that makiag the total height 37 feet off graundand Ms.
3orgensen said that was correct. Referring to the line in the ordinance that
reads, "... the meximimm height for a sign int�ded to be viewed from a highway is
25 feet above lot grade, aad in this inatance its 25 feet above Main street, and
the 25 foot maximum height � be computed from the centerline of the traveled
blghway•" Chairwman Gabel felt there might we a better may to write "may" and a
better way to address the grade levels. Mr. Clark etated the primary intent was
ground below the freewa;: as with the siRn on 7th Street.
Mr. Barna sa3d his main concern is not covered in the ordinance, that being a
visual distraction in a hiqh safety area especially with construction ccming �;
he would prefer that there be no additi�al distractions. Mrs. Gerou agreed with
Mr. Barna.and Chsirwam�an Gebel reiterated her concern about safety in that e�c-
tremely accident prone section of the freeway. She further felt dovbtful that a
variance has actually been demonstrated nor an extreme hardship.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, that the Appeals Commission recormnends
to the City Council denial of the request for variaaces pursuant to Chapter 214 of
the Fridley City code, to reduce the distance between adnertising signs from the
m;.nimum of 1000 Peet to 806 feet, and redvice the distance from a residential area
from the required 500 feet to 400 feet, to allow the construction of a 49 ft.
by 14 ft. billboard, to be located in the Holiday Store parking lot in the
Nortp$$t . Quadrant of I.694 nnd Main Street, on Part of Lot 13, Auditor's Sub-
division No. 155, the eame being 5591 Main Street N.E., Fridley, Min�sota,
as the Appeals Camnission cnnnot see a definite hnrdahip in not being allowed
to place a siqn there; that by infozmation contained in the Minnesota Department
of Transportation reports, it is a high traffic and snfety hazard area; that
these will be n lnrge amount of construction in this area in the next few
yearst �at there 1s a large aononnt of traffic conqestioa in that area during the
rush hour; that the loss of signs in the area, voluntary or involuntary, ts not
a valid hardship. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHI►IRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE

Appeals Commission Meeti.n� - Julry 14, 1981 Page 6
Mr. Clark showed the Cansnission some drawings, an aerial view and photos of the
house. Chairwotuan Gabel said Mr. May has a different hardship that she noticed
when she visited the area because he had already started building the deck when
he found out he had a problem. Mr. May said the original plans were to have the
house built four feet closer to the river with an 8 foot deck and when he de-
cided to build a 12 foot deck, he thought there taou2d be no problem until Mr. Clark
came out „ checked the setback and fouiid out that they would be 2£eet
6 inches over the line at one corner or the deck and that Mr. Clark informed that
he cvould have to apply £or a variance. He said they are asking for 2 feet 10
inches. Mr. May stated the hardship in changing it now because they have the
footings in and making it 10 feet wovld make an awful small 10-foot screened in
porch. tir. May brovght a letter signed by nine of his neighbors that could not
make it to the meeting indicating that they have no objection to the variance.
Chairwoman Gabel read the letter from his neighbors. MOTION by Mr. Barna,
seconded by Mrs. Gerou, to receive the letter from Mr. May's neighbors in favor
of the variance. iJPON.A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWUMAN GABEL DECLARID
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. May said the house was built where it was to accomodate two big oak trees
on the property. Mrs, Gunderson stated she was the neighbor to the north of
Mr. May and that she is new in the neighborhood, having bouqht the house one year
and one month ago. She said it was very discouraging for her to be at this
meeting because she has to let people know she is not in agreement with Mr. t�7ay's
plan. Chairwoman Gabel asked her what house she lives in and Mrs. Gunderson said
it is a 32-year old log cabin and that Mr. May's house was built verY close to
the property line and that she has three windaas that are completely blocked by
a gray, stucco wall. She said she does qet some relief from the window in the
southwest corner. She stated she was asking to have some view left out of that
window that, even if it is only 2 and a half feet, it would still make a difference.
She said she has a 9£oot by 20 foot screened-in porch and feels that has the
hardship by hnving a niew obstructed, Mrs. Gunderson said she wanted to build
a garage but adjusted her plans because of the code restrictions. Chainaoman
GaHei assured her that tfie commission does not "rubber staaap" anything and they
are interested in the neighbors viewpoints and that is why they are notified.
She further stated that the purpose of this courtnission is to recognize the fact
that there are eacceptions to every rule and building code; it is their job to
see if, indeed, Mr. May has a hardship. Chairwaman Gabel stated that, if
Mrs. Gunderson wanted to build a garage, she has the same right to c�e in and
ask for a variance. She further stated that the variance Mr. May is asking for
is not that larqe and he could still build it three feet less.
Mr. Classgens said he was the neighbor to the north of Mrs. Gunderson and that
he has no position on this except that Mrs. Gunderson is purchasing the home on
contract for deed from his mother-in-law, Mrs. Engelhardt, and they did not con-
template that there would be any more building on Mr. May's side. Mrs. Classgens
asked Chainvoman Gabel W read the names of the people who signed the letter for
Mr, May. Chairwoman Gabel read the names (some could not be read because of
handwriting): John Sass, Mr. & Mrs. Alvie, Mr. and Mrs. Hermanson, blr. and Mrs.
Rolin, Mr. and Mrs. Crabtree. Mrs. Classgens stated that, with the exception of
Mr, & Mrs. Crabtree, no one else lives there. Chairwoman Gabel stated that
evezyone who lives withi.n 200 feet is notified. Mrs. Classgens felt they don't
have as much right as Mrs. Gunderson does and wondered if it is going to spoil
the way the neighborhood looks and the way the riverbank is being used.
Appeals Coaomission Meeting - July 14 1981 Page 7
Mr, Crahtree stated that he has lived in that area for a lon4 time and feels
that Mrs. Gunderson has probably one of the best views of the river and that
view will aot be shut off by 2 feet and 10 inches. Ae statea that Mr. May had
some problems building his honse becanse of the two big oak trees. He said he
would only sell the lot to Mr. May if he pramised not to destmy those trees.
Mr. Crabtree felt strongly that everyone should be able to put a deck on the
back of their house and that this is just a corner of the porch. He stated that
he has no objection at all to the variance request.
Mrs. Gerou asked Mrs. Gunderson i£ she objects to the porch co�letely. Mrs.
Gunderson stated she was surprised that there was a porch being built and she
checked with Mr. Clark and found out there was room for a 9 foot porch. Mrs.
Gerov then asked her if that would have stopped her from buying the house.
Mrs. Gunderson stated that one of tfie very negative factors about tiie house was
that there was this house on the other side. Chairwoman Gabel stated that there
is a large nwnber of trees and along side of the house there are bvshes and
trees; that tfiis substantial growth would se�n to block the view in anY event.
Chairwoman Gabel asked Mrs. Gunderson what rooms in her house face the south.
Mrs. Gunderson said two bedro�ns and a bathroom.
Mr. Classgpns looked at the aerial view of the area and asked about blufflines.
Mr. Clark stated that in Fridley they don't think thsY really have a bluffline
because o£ all the aegetation; but that structures are placed back so they
could not be seen from the river and protect boaters fram seeing the house.
Mr. Barna asked Mrs. Gunderson if she was sayin4 that the house blocks direct
sunlight in the windows that face the south. Mrs. Gunderson said it is com-
pletely blocked by the house, that there is no break in that at all. �. $arna
asked Mr. May if the roof of the porch is going to be higher or lower than the
�cistinq roof line. Mr. May said it would be the s�e as the second floor and
the roof of the hovse would be higher and that the back of his house is almost a
fnll walk out. Mr. Clark asked him if his house 3s almost three stories on the
riverside and Mr. May said aimost. Mr. Barna asked Mrs. Gunderson if she was
objecting or not objecting. Mrs. Gunderson said her personal feelings are verY
neqative but as a neighbor she wonld not try to stop him, Chairwoman Gabel stated
that heY viewpoint impacts on the aoumission and it vrould be much easier
to decide if everyone was in agreAOent. Mrs. Gundezson said she will not say
that she is objecting.
Chairwoanan Gabel stated Mrs. Gunderson does not get any light now and that the
addition will make the current situation any worse. She stated she would be more
concerned if the roo�s were not bedrocros and Mr. May can still build two feet less.
She further stated that 2 feet will not impact on anythin4 in view of the growth
that is there and that Mr. Hay already has the footings in and she could not
justify for two feet to make him take evexything 8own. Mrs. Gerou felt that as
long as he can still build a deck, the extra 2 and one half feet will not make much
difference. Mr, Hippen stated he a4reed with that. Mr. Barna asked Mr. May
why not put the addition farther to the south and Mr. May said because the porch
is attached to the family rouu,
Appeals Cwnmiss'ion Meeti.n4 - Ju� 14 j 198i i'a�qe 8.
Mr. Barna stated he felt that more than one of the neighbors don't want Mr. May
to be any closer to the river than he is already and he could also see their
point in not wanting to voice a definite, positive "no" and he did not feel
like making a motion in favor.
MOTION by Mr. Hippen, seconded byMr, Barna, to close the public hearing. t1PON A
VOICE V(Y1'E, ALL YOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
AT 9:00 P.M.
MOTION by Mrs. Gerou, seconded by Mr. xippen, that the Appeals Co�nission recommend
to the City Cauncil approval of the variance request to the Interim Development
Regulations for the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area, Section G, 4,
(B�2), to reduce to 97 feet 2 inches, the requirement that in urban developed
districts, no structnre or road shall be placed less than 100 feet from the
noxmal highwater mark of the river, and na less than 40 feet from bluffiines,
to allow the construction of a 12 foot by 21 foot three-season porch on Lot 4,
Block 1, Marion's Terrace, the same being 7110 Riverview Terrace N.E., Fridley,
Minnesota 55432. UPON A VOICE VOTE, THREE VOTING "YES," AND ONE VOTING "NO,"
CHAIRFIOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Chairwoman Gabel reported on windmills and stated that the way it is coming
through the new zoning code is that a person would need a special use permit.
Mr. Clark felt there should be a restriction on number of feet fros the lot
line and height. Mr. Sarna stated he was in favor of windmills but leery of
a 200-foot windm�ll that could possibly fall oves. He fvrther stated that he
would rather see allowed to a�limit�that whereever it be placed it would not
endanger a neighboring structure and that anything �ore massive in size vrould
then require a variance. Mr. Clark suggested a one-to-one ratio, for everY foot
in you can 90 one foot up. Mr. Barna asked if it was still in discussion and
Chainao�an Gabel said the covncil has it now and it is somewhere in the middle
of readings and review.

1. TRUCK PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS:
Mr. Boardman stated this issue was brought up at City Council and was sent down
to Planning Comnission fran the City Council. He stated there is the question
of whether the current ordinance on truck parking is a satisfactory ordinance.
He stated the Planning Comnission had a copy of a memo from Jim Hill regarding a
survey of truck ordinances in other suburbs.
Mr. Boardman stated that Fridley's ord., Sec.506.04,states: "It is unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation owning, driving, or in charge of any bus, motor
truck, truck, tractor, or commercial vehicle to cause it to be parked or stand
longer than 24 hrs. in any residential district." Mr. Boardman stated they have
trouble enforcing this ordinance because if tfie vehicle is moved even five feet,
it, in effect, extends the time limit for another 24 hrs.
Mr. Boardman stated that ordinance, Sec. 506.122, states: "No person shall park
or leave standing a cortmercial vehicle, whether attended or unattended, having a
gross weight of more than 13,000 pounds upon the public streets in any residential
district for a period of time longer than four hours, unless in the process of
loading or unloading and then only for such period of time necessary to load or
unload."
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 29 1981 PAGE 2

over 13,000 pounds on residential streets. The residential streets are not built
f�r truck parking.

East River Road Project:
Mr. Harris stated the County's management of that operation is an
abomination. He has talked to the project engineer and it has not
done any good. He stated the County is leaving dangerous situations

on people's lawns.
