UPON A VOICE VOTfi� Ai,L YOTING�AYfi, CHAIRAIAN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC NEARING
OPEN AT 7:44 P,M. � � �
Mr. Debton stated that Staff has looked at this design from a land use standpoint,
and Staff does not have any problem with the rezoning. Staff feels this type of
use is better than what could be built under M-2,
Mr. Deblon stated the overal7 site plan had some problems with the traffic flow
and accessibility because of the nature of the drive-in type bank. He handed out
a design that Staff felt was a more proper design for the site for traffic
patterns, etc. Ne stated the.petitioner's initial proposal has only one driveway,
and Staff felt there would be a lot of congestion because of the ingress and
egress of the auto bank. Staff felt it would be better to turn the building to
face the frontage road and then have three driveways with a separate driveway
for the auto bank traffic to exit out onto the service road.
Mr. Hagqerty, 6431 University Ave. N.E., stated this request is in his name. In
this juncture, they have a tetrant who has already approved the site and the loca-
tion. 7his is a bank in the area, but the bank would prefer to remain nameless
at this time, The other tenant will mast likely be his law firm which will
relocate in this building. He stated those are the two main anchor tenants.
Mr. Haggerty stated they had no objection to Staff's groposal to the three
entrances or to the switching of the bank building 45 , They would iike to retain
as many parking spaces as possible and the flexibitity to go three stories, pro-
vided they retain the same ratio of parking per square foot as in their initial
request. He stated it is possible they will be breaking ground this year if
things go smoothly and they can put the rest of the package together.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Haggerty if he had any elevations of the proposed building.
Mr. Haggerty stated he did not at this time. He stated they were waiting for
sane feedback from Staff in order to take the changes back to their architect.
The primary problem is traffic flow and now that they have a feel for what Staff
wants, they can work on that. He stated another consideration with the three
stories is that they may have some soil problems that will not support three
stories. They have been told this by the City �ngineering Dept.
PLANNING CAMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 16, 19$1 ___ PAGE 3_
Mr. Haggerty stated the main thing right now is the rezoning, and they are
asking for the flexibility on the rezoning to go from two stories to three
stories and still stay within the same parking ratio with this plan so they
cane within the City guidelines.
Mr. Erland Thor, 7325 University Ave. N.E., stated he owns one of the double
bungaloes and is concerned about the traffic flow that will be coming onto 73rd
Ave. It is bad enough now going around the service road and getting onto 73rd.
Mrs. Erland Thor stated the main problem is University Ave. She stated there
are no left turn lanes on 73rd crossing Univ. Ave. She works at Minco and now
with the new Paco office building, the. traffic coming out of there is terrible,
and there have been a lot of accidents.
Mr. Thor stated that with more traffic fran the new bank and office, there is
going to be total chaos.
Mr. Harris stated the traffic from the bank could either exit onto University or
it could take the service road past the ice arena to 69th Ave.
Mr. Haggerty stated that one thing Staff considered is that by turning the
building around, there may be a lot of people going out the other direction so
it may be splitting the traffic up in both directions.
Mr. Narris stated that one thing he did not like about Staff's configuration
is that on business days, they are going to have a problem with stacking on the
frontage road to get onto 73rd. His concern was with the short distance from
the northerly driveway to the intersection.
Ms. Gabel suggested that the northerly driveway 6e an entrance only.
Mr. Haggerty stated he could see no problem with that. The second driveway
could be both an entrance and exit, and the southerly driveway could be an exit
only.
Mr. Svanda stated it seemed to him that the traffic flow in Staff's plan is
just going to be a mess. In fact, he might not even bank there because of it.
Ne suggested that they go back to the petitioner's original plan for the
building, but that the traffic flow be reversed so that the traffic flow to the
auto bank'is not going through the parking lot.
Mr, Haggerty stated that it may work out best ta bring the traffic in the
northerly driveway and through the auto bank. The auto bank traffic would not
come through the parking 1ot, and then ali the traffic would exit out the
southerly driveway, The northerly driveway could be an entrance only. They
may even be able to add some more parking.
Mr. Harris stated that Mr. Haggerty should check with the County to see if the
County has any plans for a left turn lane at 73rd and University. With the ice
arena, the City Garage, the park, and now this building, a lot of traffic will
be generated in this area.

MOTION BY dII2. SABA, S&CONDED BY MR. OQUSST� TO CLOSS THE PUBLIC HSARSNG ON
ZOA i181-04 BY MARK SAGGERTY. -
UPON R VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMAN HRIZRIS DECLARED TXE PUBZIC NEARING
CLOSED AT 8:3B P.X.
Mr. Harris stated he had one basic problem. The Planning Comnission is being
asked to rezone this property on faith without a guarantee that this structure
wil7 be built on this property. He felt the office building and the bank will
be an asset to the City of Fridley. He stated the problem is (and it has happened
before) that after a property is rezoned, for one reason or another, the proposal
isn't carried throuqh and then there is a parcel of land that is reaoned for a
mu]titude of other uses that may not be as desirable on that particular piece of
land.
Mr. klaggerty stated there should be a stipulation made that states that the
rezoning is contingent on the building of an office building on this site and
that the rezoning will not be approved until the building permit is pulled.

be tied in with the building permit.
Mr. Svanda stated he liked Mr. Haggerty's proposal as the motion stated with
the one entrance and the one exit, and he did not like Staff's proposal because
of the traffic patterns.

UPON A VOICS VOTE, A.LL.VOTING AYfi, CHAIRMAN A1IRRIS DECLARBD THE POBLIC XSRRING
OPEN AT 8:45 P.M.
Mr. Deblon stated the petitioner plans to build a single family dwelling in a
CRP-2 Zone (flood fringe). The City has adopted a flood plain ordinance that
allows the building in the flood fringe with a special use permit and other
flood proofing measures. The major measure is to fill the property until it
is one foot above the flood elevation; in this case, that elevation is 823.7 ft.
Mr. Harris asked about a drainage plan. He stated fiis only concern is drainage
out of the property.
Mr. Garland Lagesse, 7951 Broad St. N.E., stated he was concerned about the
question of liability if drainage problems do exist, and he was also concerned
about encroachment problems.
Mr. Harris suggested that the house be shifted toward Broad St. to within
17.5 ft. of the street. Then the petitioner can fill around the whole structure
and slope it so that a11 the water is drained off the property. This wouid
solve Mr. Lagesse's concerns.

k9nd of input.
Ms. Gustafson stated there are a couple of ciCies that do this. and sAe thought

civic organizations, businesses, churches, special interest groups, etc. The
tetter shoutd inciude a brief exptanation of CDBG funds, the amount of monies

give a short presentation on the history of Comnunity Development Block Grant
funds, how these funds have been spent in the past, some ideas of how they can
be spent, and the monies avai7able. Mr. Boardman or Ms. Cayan can introduce
the Commission members and #hen they can ask for input from the audience.

Mr. Boardman stated the Comnissioners had received a copy of a letter
to Fred Levy. This is the letter that is required for an offer to
purchase property. He stated he needed the approval of HRA in order
to send this letter to Mr. Levy.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER ]0, 1981 - PAGE 2
Mr. 8oardman stated that Mr. Paul Klaverkamp, the attorney representing
Mr. Levy, was Sn the audience. Mr. Boardman stated he had just received
a letter that day from Mr. Klaverkamp requesting some additional informa-
tion on the appraisal. Mr. Klaverkamp felt the appraisal was too low,
and he had hired Shenehon, Goodlund, Taylor, and Fruen to do a review
on that appraisal. Mr. Boardman stated the appraisal of $450,000 was
done by Robert T, Mausser, who was very high on the list of the City of
Minneapolis HRA.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Klaverkamp if he would like ta state his position
on the appraisai at this time.
Mr. Klaverkamp stated that in this case, the City is not dealing with a
developer who has quickly come into the City of Fridley, and now the
property is being condemned. His client has been a long-time (20 yr.)
resident of Fridley, and he has been representing him for all these years.
Mr. Klaverkamp stated the first contact he had from Mr, Remnen was 1� yrs.
ago when this whole process got started, During that time, their
situation has gotten worse and worse because of the fact that word gets
out that it is a onty a matter of time before a new development will be
going in. He stated they could understand that, but all of a sudden
the hardware store's lease was up and they could not re-lease it. He
stated they have severe problems. With no rent coming in, they have to
pick up all the utilities, and they are stili paying the real estate
taxes. He stated their insurance has quadrupled because of the vacancy
situation.
Mr. Klaverkamp stated the City Attorney and Mr. Boardman had enough
empathy to agree to try to work out an agreeable price. He stated time
is very important for both himself and his client. He thought there was
some benefit in doing it this way and some benefit in compromising on
the appraisal price itself, There are no relocation costs, no condemna-
tion collateral costs, and no attorney's fees from both sides.
Mr, Klaverkamp stated he thought Mr. Mausser was a good appraiser, and
he was not at the meeting to find fault with Mr, Mausser on his appraisal.
He stated he has been in enough of these situations to know that in con-
demnation situations, appraisers know who they are hired by and who they
are doing the appra9sal for. If tfiey are making the appraisal for the
City, they come in as low as they can. If they are making the appraisal
for the landowner, they are going to come in as high as they can. From
his experience, he has found this happens all too often.
Mr. Kiaverkamp stated he wanted to give a few examples of where Mr. Mausser
and any other appraiser might possibly disagree. He stated he did not
want to go through a long 3-6 months process if they can come to some
agreement without it.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEE7ING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1981 - PAGE 3
Mr. Klaverkamp stated that he was cancerned that a partial taking of
their property will cause them to lose out on the real value of the
total parcel. He did not think Mr. Mausser had paid attention to the
assemblage value mentioned specifically in Mr. Dennis Taylor's 7etter
(Shenehon, Goodlund, Taylor. Fruen, Inc.) In getting into building
costs, Mr. Mausser was talking about $35/sq. ft. and 30% depreciation.
If he had made that $40/sq, ft. and 25% depreciation, which an appraiser
can easily do, they are talking about $590,OQ�. He stated he was there
to argue values, but to make the point that little differences in an
appraisal can make a huge difference in the appraisal.
Mr. Klaverkamp stated that Mr. Mausser's comparab7e5 seem to be far away
from this area. He stated his office does a lot of work throughout the
City in the real estate area, and he knows of a spot within a mile of this
area where they have leased the building (approx. 12,000 sq. ft., free-
standing, next to a shopping center, and very similar) in Jan. 1, 1976,
for $3.76/sq. ft. Again, his only point is to show that appraisers can
differ.
Mr. Klaverkamp stated that regarding the income approach, Mr. Mausser
uses $3.50/sq. ft, and 10� capital, If they use $4/sq. ft. and 9% capital,
they would go up about �12,000.
Mr. Klaverkamp stated his overa7l point was that because of the situation
they are in, they do not want to go through a long condemnation process.
They do not think $450,000 is a fair price, and he thought he coutd get a
$550,000 figure without any problem at all. What he would like to do is
compromise between the two figures and get it over with and save money
in the process.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Boardman what other alternatives the HRA has
available at this point.
Mr. Boardman stated there are several alternatives: (1) They can get a
second appraisal; (2) They can go ahead and approve the letter to make
an offer of $450,000 and set up a negotiation meeting and allow
Mr. Klaverkamp to come back with adequate information to adjust that
figure; (3) They can just go into negotiations and come up with a nego-
tiated value on the property somewhere between $450,000 and $550,�00.
When they talk about condemnation, they are talking about 10%.
Mr. Boardman stated they have an appraisal that is done, so they have
met the letter of the law as far as HUD is concerned. Now they are in
the negotiation stage, and he thought there are limits to how they can
negotiate based on that appraisal, but he did feel there was room to
negotiate.
Mr. Boardman stated he would like sane authority to negotiate to get
an equitable value on that preperty. He would recommend that if they
negotiate a value, they negotiate no more than 10% of the settlement.
(Ms. Svendsen arrived at 8:01 p,m.)
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1981 - PAGE 4
Mr. Klaverkamp stated that his client has advised him to get this over
with as quickly as possible, and he would be happy to go up $30,000
which is around 7X,making a total of $480,000. If they were to sit
down and go through the whole process, they would come up with a figure
much greater than that.
Mr. Boardman stated he thought that was a reasonable figure and could
negotiate a purchase based on that value.
Mr. Cortmers stated he did not think that offer was out of line. With
additional appraisals and additional legal expense, they could very
easily hit the 6X or 7% themselves and still be faced with having to
pay something higher than their appraisal.
Mr. Prieditis agreed that it was a reasonable compromise.
Mr. Corrmers stated that at this point, in order to get the matter accom-
plished and help the landowner who is sitting with a vacant building,
the HRA should give some consideration to authorizing Staff to accept the
$480,000 price.

B. U date from J��er_��rY R�emmen
Re: Two etters from Jerry Remmen to Mr. Boardman dated Sept. 8, 1981)
Mr. Commers stated that Mr. Remnen could not be at the meeting, but
Mr. Vasser was representing Mr. Rerr�nen.
Mr. Vasser stated he was representing a corporation which is a nominal
2X general partnership along with Jerry Remmen, an individual. The
corporation is there mainly to provide continuity to the project. He
is also one of the limited partner investors as well. The name of the
partnership is Center Plaza Development, a Minnesota Limited Partnership.
The general partners are: {1) A. J. Remmen; (2) a corporation by the name
of Remmen, Vasser, and Assoc., Inc.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETIN6, SEPTEMBER 10, 1981 - PAGE 5
Mr. Vasser stated this vehicle has all been set up for sometime now.
As Mr. Rem�nen is one of the general partners in this limited partnership,
he also has a signed agreement with the limited partnership on a fee
basis to be the developing counse7. So, the City is dealing with
Mr. Remmen as an individual from that capacity, but the legal entity
is the Minnesota Limited Partnership.
Mr. Boardman stated that in Mr. Re�nen's letter of Sept. 8 regarding
a status report on Phase III, Mr. Remmen stated they are changing their
law firm from Dorsey Firm to Holmes and Graven. One of the reasons for
tfiis change is the potential conflict of interest that is present
because of a lawsuit against Mr. Rermnen, and the Dorsey Firm is involved
in the lawsuit. The Dorsey Firm did recomnend Mr. John Utley of Holmes &
Graven.
Mr. Boardman stated that in Phase III: they are looking at going ahead
and getting a commitment done by Oct. 7 and having a Developers Cormnit-
ment by the HRA's October meeting. In Phases I, II, & IV, Mr. Remmen
has met with Bor-Son Construction Co., and Bor-Son is no longer interested
in putting together an office package. Because of that, they are going
to have to do additional work in tfie area of Phases I, II, & IV, so
they ere asking for a six-month extension on the current development
agreement,
Mr. Boardman stated that he has talked with Dean Doyscher about Phase III
to get Mr. Doyscher's opinion, and Mr. Doyscher feels very comfortable
that the project is going to be put together. Mr. Doyscher said that
the position is a little weak at this time in the purchase of Holly Center
and also weak in Phases I, II, & IV. Mr. Remmen has confirmed this.
Mr. Commers asked if Mr. Doyscher was serving the City in any capacity
as an advisor.
Mr. Boardman stated they are using Mr. Doyscher as an advisor only as
they need him. At this point in time, they have no contract with
Mr. Doyscher. Mr. Doyscher is coordinating the industrial revenue bonds
for Mr. Remmen.
Mr. Conmers stated he was concerned about a possible conflict of interest
because Mr: Doyscher is aiso working for Mr. Remnen.
� Mr. Commers asked Mr. Vasser if he thought they would be in a position
to have a financial commitment and be able to enter into a developers'
agreement by the HRA's October meeting.
Mr. Vasser stated it was his understanding that they want to have a very
thorough, acceptable type of draft of that agreement for the HRA's
October meeting. He stated he needed clarification as to whether the
HRA wanted the agreement ready for signing or if it could be a draft,
HOUSING & REDEYELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1981 - PAGE 6
Mr. Boardman stated he is looking for an agreement that is ready for
signing at the meeting. In order to do that, the HRA will need a
draft prior to the October meeting. He stated they will also have
Mr. Herrick, the City Attorney, at the October meeting.
Mr. Vasser stated that the on]y lease that is still in the process of
being negotiated is the Super Valu lease fran the standpoint that
Super Valu has just gotten their bid package together. So, now it is
a matter of sitting down and basing a per square foot rental. He
stated the lease with the hardware store is agreed upon legally on both
sides, but they are not going to sign until Super Valu signs first.
The only lease that has actualTy been signed is for the barber shop.
It is difficult to get any other leases signed until Super Valu has
signed.
Mr. Boardman stated that in their letter of right of development, they
gave the right of development to Contract Development Corporation.
For legal purposes, they should probably change it to Center Plaza
Development, a Minnesota Limited Partnership.
Mr. Comners stated that the HRA should be provided with the document
that shows that Contract Development Corporation has assigned their
rights to whatever entity it is, and the HRA can approve that.
Mr. Vasser stated that is written right into the partnership agreement,
and he would provide the City with a copy of that agreement.
Mr. Commers thanked Mr. Vasser for coming.
1. Letter to Jerry Remmen from Thomas C. Daniel dated Aug. 11, 1981
Mr. Boardman stated tfiat in this letter, Mr. Daniel, Vice President
of Banco Mortgage Co., is stating that he is confident that Banco
can assist in securing the financing necessary to complete the
Center Piaza Shopping Center project assuming that leases and tenants
acceptable to their investors can be obtained. Mr. Boardman stated
this letter was for the Corronissioners information.
C, Letter to Vick Wenzlaff, District Manager of Phil
Mr. Commers stated that Phillips Petroleum has decided to close that
station, and the City is almost in the same position as they were with
the Standard Oil Station. Since Phillips Petroleum has decided to
close the station and before they decide to relet it for a lengthy
eriod of time it may be advisable to obtain an appraisal on the
P +
property and see if the City can negotiate something on that parcel
at this time.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITV MEETING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1981 - PAGE 7
Mr. Boardman stated that no action is required of the HRA, but he
wanted to inform the HRA that the City has sent a letter to Phillips
Petroleum notifying them of the City's interest in purchasing the
property at 6500 Univ. Ave. N.E. Mr. Boardman stated he would wait
until Phillips Petroleum was ready t� se11 and contacted him.
* * * * *
Mr. Boardman stated that before continuing with the agenda, Norma Swanson,
who owns the 10,000 Auto Parts property, was in the audience and would
like to address the HRA.
Ms. Swanson stated she i

Mr. Commers stated that if Ms. Swanson and her partners were interested
in putting some type of project together themselves, he could see
nothing wrong with them doing it on a preliminary basis and then bring-
ing it in to discuss with Staff and the HRA. Maybe there is something
the HRA can do to assist them if they are interested in doing some type
of prpject.
Mr. Boardman stated that part of the property is zoned R-1 and the
other part is zoned commercial. The City has denied rezoning in all the
situations that were proposed for that property. He stated their
development pla� shows that as a clinic/office type of location. He
felt the City could support that kind of development. He feit the City
would be negative to any single family along that strip because that
would limit what coutd be done with the small commercial portion that
would be left. If Ms. Swanson and her partners are willing to put
some kind of package together, he would encourage them to work towards
a development that would be acceptable to the HRA.
Ms. Swanson stated she would get together with Mr. Boardman and discuss
this.
Mr. Commers thanked Ms. Swanson for coming to the meeting.
II. MOORE LAKE DEVELOPMENT:
Mr. Boardman stated that Cberyl Nybo brought in the information package on
the development of the office building on Hillwind Rd. that day. This is
in Phase I of the Moore Lake Plan. He stated she will be 6ringing in the
investment worksheets the following morning. She will be going for industrial
revenue bonds, The industrial revenue bond package will go to City Council
on Oct. 5 for setting a public hearing. The public hearing will be on
Oct. 19. Once the City Council approves the industrial revenue bonds,
Ms. Nybo has to get the cotmnitment on financing. Once she has commitment

on financing, then the City will enter into a commitment document with
Ms. Nybo on the development of the office building. Mr. Boardman stated
this project is moving ahead very well.
BY-LAWS:
Mr. Commers stated the HRA had received a memo from David Newman dated
Aug. 18. He asked Mr. Beardman what the status was on the provision
relative to Minnesota Statutes regarding the compensation issue.
Mr. Boar�nan stated the HRA has no general funds; and, therefore, comepnsa-
tion can only be based on the amount of time based on tax increment districts.
If the kRA was to be c�mpensated, it is going to have to be compensated
through a general fund that is not tied to the tax increment district. That
would be the best way to handle it, The other way would be if the City
Council earmarked money to the HRA for general funds; otherwise the HRA
would have to levy taxes to generate their general fund. The HRA does have
the authority to levy taxes to 1/2 of 1�. He stated the HRA does not have
to have a compensation section in their by-laws. They can put it in and
then elect not to be compensated, or they can leave it out altogether.

come to this meeting to answer some questions regarding the financial
reparts. He stated that Mr. Inman will be at the next meeting and will
answer those questions at that time.

B. Fa11 Reyistration
Dr. Boudreau stated fall registration began on Sept. 74, and most of
. the classes are filling up rapidly. He stated they are offering about
� the same classes as last year, He stated they have added a few new
classes. Some of them are Bridge, Senior Citizens' C6ristmas Crafts,
and a Saturday Ladies Day Out to the Renaissance festival.
C. T981 Minnesota State Fair Booth
Dr. Boudreau stated the booth was organized and arranged by the Naturalist
Division. He stated that for the third year in a row, the booth won a
blue ribbon for excellence in booth construction and atiendance. He
stated they are very pleased and proud of that award.
D. Rice Creek West BikewayJWalkway Trail System
Dr. Boudreau stated the County has met with the Concerned Residents for
Environmental Quality regarding the trail system. Some compromies
were made to the extent that the residents are somewhat pleased with the
outcome, The only th9ng to be constructed in the near future is the
walkway system, They wilt wait on the bikeway system, but they have
taken the bikeway trait on 69th which will cut down on some of the
bridges east of Central in that area of the Creek bed. The County has
given its ward that they will work with the citizens' group and the
City to see that the system is constructed to everyone's satisfaction
and not disturb the balance of the creek bottom.
Dr. Boudreau stated•this alt took place about a month ago. He just
wanted to bring the Cammission up to date. He did not believe anything
has transpired since that time.
2. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:
A, Northtown/Crosstown Bridge
Mr. Kondrick stated the bridge is, in fact, going to be put ac"ross the
river. It will hit orr Fridley's side of the river at about 95th,
about 10 blocks north of the Springbrook Nature Center. He stated he
would imagine the impact of traffic is going to be felt at the nature
center to a certain degree, but not neariy so much as it would have if
the bridge went in at 85th. He stated there is talk about an inter-
change with East River Road, which should increase the traffic on 85th
but not nearly as much as was anticipated earlier.
Mr. Young stated he felt the bridge will also help fridley and will
reduce the traffic coming fran the northern suburbs which has to cross
the river on I-694. This traffic will now be able to cross on 95th.

3. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Petition regarding Comnunity Park Noise
� Dr. 8oudreau stated the City has receiued a petition fran the residents
' abutting the Surlington Nortbern tracks across from the new Conmunity
Park. They are asking that the "Mayor and City Councit of fridley order
the Public Works Department to cease the construction of berms and
restore that area to a flat and levet park as the land was prior to this
undertaking. These newty built berms act as echo chambers and increase
the noise of the passing trains. If ber�ms are to be installed� they
shou7d be piaced on the west side of tfie tracks to absorb the noise
fran the residences which abut the tracks."
Dr. Boudreau stated that after they received this petition, he had
asked John F1ora, Publics Works Director, to take some noise equipment
out and see if there was any appreciable difference in the noise in this
neighborhood from the noise at the approximate same location at 6699
Ashton Ave. He stated that in Mr. Flora's memo to the City Manager
dated Sept. 11, the Commission members could see that there was no sig-
nificant difference from the sound received at the site opposite the
Community Park to that on the same side of the railroad opposite the
residential area.
Qr. Boudreau stated this was for the Co�rtnission's information. It wi11
go to City Council at their next meeting.

Appeals Ca�m3ssion Meeting - September 22, 1981 Page 2
Mr. Burton Schez'ven, 5960 Anna Avenue N.E., mas present.
Chairwoman Gabel reported that the Planninq Coaunission recommended to vacate it
and the City Cauncil aqreed witSi that. Mr. Clark explained that the process takes
about four weeks and the public heari.ng will be in a month and it will be Novexnber
befare the vacation wi12 be law. He said Mr. Scherven has excavsted hut does not
hane'the footings in. 8e fvrther stated that the utility eas�nent that is being
kept v�ill make no difference as Mr. Scheroen v,311 still be 4 feet from the south
lot line.
Mr, Scherven said he has had the lot for 11-12 years aad he is planning to build a
hovse witfL an attached garage, Chairwoman Gabel askefl if the sewer and water axe
hooked up and Mr. Scherven said no, bvt he has two estimates on that, blr. Clark
said that can be done withont any problesns. Mr, Plpsnel if the house will be factory
built, Mr. Scherven said it will not be pre-Fab or pre-cut and he is doing the con-
tracting himself and,showed the commission a photograph and blueprints. He said it
w311 be a 28' by 32' house.
Mr, Barna aske�l when 66th is vacated how much land it would give an the south side.
Mr. Clark said probably another 25 feet bat it will be utility easement, Chairwoman
Gebel noted that there is qardening in tfiere now and Mr, Scherven saifl he did not
want to cut down any trees. Chairwoman Gabel asked about the costs to build.
Mr, Scherven said about $42,000 to build, another $5,00 for the pl�nobing and there will
be electrician costs and block and brick work costs. Chainvaman Gabel asked about
the number of bedrocans and if Mr. Scheroen would be Ziving t�ere. Mr. Scherven said
he lives in an aparianent right now� and he plans to move into the house.
Chaixwoman Gabel said Mr, Hoardman didn't think there would be any problem with
66th Avenue, Mr. Clark said about 5-7 years ago there was a petition to vacate but
the city was not vacating at that ti7ne and does not see that the street will go through
in the future; people do not want to pay for improvements and there is no reason not
to vacate. Chairwanan Gabel aeked how much footage there wouZd be between the curb
and garage if the street were not vacated. Mr. Clark said about 18 feet and the
garage would not really obstruct vision and it wonld�not be a high density traffic
ares, Mr. Barna said he did not have a problesn with this variance. Mr. Plemel
said it looks like a nice haae and a nice addition to the neighborhood.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF ItEPORT
7998 East River Roaa N.E.
A. 8[18LIC PURPOSE SERVID BY REQUIRH+IENT:
Section 205.053, 4A, zcquires a front yard depth of not less than 35 feet.
Public purpcse Berved by this requirement is to ailow ior off-stseet
parking without encroaching on the public righi of aay end also ior •
aesthetic consideration to re8uce the "building line of sight" encroachment
into the neighbox's fmnt yard.
8. STATED HARDSHIPs
"I need a garage in order to house cars, lawn equipaoe�t, etc. Current
tenants need a garage for a classic caz or they Will move. The tenant is
the local Marine Corps recruiter an8 they are a nice couple. If the house
should be sold, evezyone wants a garage. The sanitary sewer runs under
the present driveway on the west side of the lot which necessitates the
easE si3e o£ the house."
C, ADMINISTRATNE STAFF RESViEW:
This lot is on the southwest corner of Libexty Street and £ast River Road.
A variance was needed in 1974 ta build the dwellinq as the lot area is
only 6511.9 square feet. Zhere is a 20 foot eas�nent for highway purposes
alonq East River Road aad a 20 foot drainage and utility easement along
the west side of the lot which leaves little area to build a gara9e on.
A variance would be necessary to place a garage anywhexe on this property.
Mr, & Mrs. Richard G, Gay, 7996 East River Road; Mr, and Mrs. Dalberg, 8605 Baltimore
Street NE „ were present.
Mr. Gay said there ie a 20 foot utility easement on the west side and a 20 foot
easement along the east for the widening of East River Road, and that by having a
garage and dr3veway there, it would block the traffic lights coming into his neigh-
bor's window. Chairwoman Gabel asked how many feet off East River the proposed
driveway was and Mr. Clark said about 40 feet from the curb to the driveway. Mr.
Plemel noted there was very little traffic because it �nas a dead end street. Chaiz-
woman Gabel noted the driveway was partlally on the easement. Mr. Clark said there
was no problem as everyone crosses easements with driveways. Chairwoman Gabel
eaid there may be a problem down the line if they decide to widen East River Road.
Mr. Gay said he does not live there but may eveatually, and he would need a garage
to keep everything inside and cleen it up a little. Chairwoman Gabel noted there
was no other place to put the garage and Mr. Barna said it was a weird shaped lot
tied up with easements.
A��eals Camoission Meeting - Se�tembex 22, 1961 Page 4
Mr, Gay said the work �rill be subcontrscted and }t mill match the house. Mr. Plemel
asked if they wi.11 be c�uaing to the west : of the £ire k;ydraat. Mr. Gay said yes,
a 12 foot driveway and it will widen and will be putting up steel a8d concrete posts
to prevent slipping into the fire hydrant in the winter. �
Mr, and Mrs, Dalberg said they were not oPposed to the variance but wanted thie chance
to air their grievances at beinq turned down for variances so many times. They own lots
across the stxeet and Originally omned tI�e lot that Mr..Gay now has. idrs. Dalberg
said it has been 2-3 years since they have applied for a variat�ce and they had
wanted to build a home on the dead end street. Chairwanan Gabel said the coaunission
is not able to tell ttiem �.hat chanqes . have to take place to make that
property more buildable and aske�l i£ they have a differpnt house plan, She said
there was strong neighborhood react3on the last time and they may have similar
reactfon agai.n. Mrs. Dalberg felt if there was 4oing to be any reaction to a variance
i.n the area, the neighbors would be here for Mr, Gay's variance. Soth Mr. Plemel
and Chairwoman Gabel r�nembered the neighborhood reaction and suggested that Mrs.
D�lberg talk to her neighbors and explain what they would like to do before they come
for a variance. Mr. Bama e�tplained that if the nei9hbors object for any reason at
all, the final decision is up to the City Council and Chairwoman Gabel said it went
to the City Council the last time. The Co�nission suqgested again that she review
the house plans, talk to her neighbors and explain and re-apply for a varfance.
Mr. Barna, referring back to Mr. Gay's variance, asked what happens when the East
River Road expressway caees throvgh. Mr. Clark figured if they v�ant to widen, they
migfit do it i.n the otfier direction. Mr. Gay £elt it would make more sense to try
and straighten out the road as much as possible. Mr. Hippe� felt everyone should
have a garage, especially with the winters and there is almost no other place for
a garage t� be built. Chairwoman Gabel agreed, stating there is an obvious hardship
as there is no othex place for the garaqe and that it is not a good situation with
what may happen in the future but that thepetit3oner is aware of the risk.
Mr. Barna stated it really wovld not be creating any structure any c2oser than there
is right now, Chairwcanan Gabel said the other side has drainage and utility easements,

COFMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COF�tISSION MEETING, OGTOBER l3, 198i PAGE 4
Mr. Boardman stated that if ft does happen, it wiil happen with an econanic ~
development in the sense that, they would organize w9th Anoka County and turn a
portion of their money over to Anoka County to operate a sma11 business loan-type
of association. He did not foresee it happening in other areas, especially in
the areas that benefft low and moderate income,
Mr. Boardman stated that last year each of the project areas had a steering
committee that was estabTished. That steering committee was actual3y a pubiic
agency appointed by Anoka County to operate in each of the five project areas.
Each of the comnunities appointed two m�nbers to serve on the steering committee.
7he steering committees made recommendations on projects, and th�se recommenda-
tions were forwarded to the County Board. Dennis Schneider and Barb Favor were
Fridley's representatives on the steering cannittee for the Fridley, Coon Rapids,
and Slaine project area. Mr. Boardman stated he was secretary for that committee.
He stated that the steening committee process may not happen again this year.
Tfiere are changes in the:federal regulations that do not require that kind of
citizen participation, and the County may drop the steering committee activity.
Mr. Boardman handed out'copies of last year's
which outlined five project categorier.
1. Economic Development Projects
2. Neighborhood Rehabilitation Projects;
3. Public Facility Projects
4. Housing Projects
5, Comprehensive Projects
Projeet 5election Criteria Format,
Mr. Boardman stated that tast year, they submitted two projects 'to their Steering
Cortmittee: (1) ac uisition of the hardware building in the Center City Redevelop-
ment Project; and �2) a Riverview Heights Development Project. The Steering
Carmittee chose the $28Q,OOO acquisition of the hardware building.
Mr. Boardman stated that, at'the present time� they have had an initiai 7AC 1
meet9ng, and they are now in tfie process of putting together applications for
next spring when the monies are available. they are looking at a project
recommendation ta City Gouncit in December. The actual projects wil] then be
submitted to Anoka County early in January. There is a lot of work that has to
be done. They will be making recommendations to the Comaunity Development Cortmission
based o� projects they knrnr they have the figures to justify, whether it be rehab,
hous9ng-type projects, additional Center City projects, etc. To date, Staff has
not formulated any recoamendations on projects. Ne would also like the Community
Development Comnission to be looking at longer term--a 3-year comprehensive
program in which they can idy out three years of the types of projects and programs
they migh# want to work-an.
Mr. Boardman'stated he wnuld xelcome
as to the type of projeets they fee]
he thought they cou7d realistically
_, . _
commerrts from the people in the audience
the City should get involved in. Ne stated
figure on $200,000.

C,�NJNITY DEV�10PAtENT fOMB+IISSION MEETING. OC7t}B�� 13, T981 PAGE 3
Mr. $aa�an stated.#hat Anoka County has set up:a iAC (Technical Advisory
Commiitee). 7hat committee sets the rules and regulaCions by which �the �
comm4nities make appiication and makes the determination as to how those appli-
caiian funds wiil be spent. T�here are members from eaeh of the caronunities on
tfie comm9ttee. TAC then sets up the process and makes recommendations tn Anoka
County. In the last funding cycie, TAC recaimended a scoring system that Anoka
County uses in reviewing applications.
Mr. Baat^c�nan stated that when HUD looks at �he project applications, eligible
activfties;also have td €all lnto different eriteria. That criteria is that a
percenta9e,ri�tst benefit tow and moderate income citizens. If it is an economic
: dedelopment project, it fias to �et the criteria af remauing blight or slum
and/or provfiding jobs to lwv and moderate incane persons. So. a 1ot of justifi-
cation has to be made to Anoka County and to HUD tha� a project shows a benefit
ta low-and moderate income, because that is the primary category they 1oo'k at.
Mr. Boardman stated that last year, out of the $2 miltion, 75% of the funds had
tp'#�e a bene€it to low and moderate income, and 25� to economic development.
l�hen'Anoka County submitted an app7ication to'HU�, Frfidtey had an economic
�velopment program, Columbia Heights had an economic devetopment program, and
Coon Rapids had an economic development program, so Anoka County had to be very
careful that all of the economic development programs tied together were not
more than-25� of the total grant.
Mr. Boardman stated that Anoka County also did twa other things: {1) At the
adv��e of TAG, right off the top of the grant prcagram, Anoka County took "x"
amou�t af dollars for administration costs, because Moka County has the a�nini-
stratioa problems; (2j 7hey took $200,000 and set that aside for a county-wide
rehab program,wfiich was given to the Anoka County CAP Agency, i'he CAP Agency has
en in-ptace program, Right now they operate the weat6erization funds which is
also a f�derat grant. The county'-wide rehab program was tfien allocated by
community. He stnted it looked like money would again be allocated for rehab
� for the county, and it looked like there would be around $500,000 available for
competition.between fridley, Coon Rap9ds, and Blaine.
Dr..Yos asked Mr. 6oardman to explain what the CDBG funds were used for ]ast year.
Mr. Boardman stated those funds were used to purchase,the hardware building in
the Genter City Redevelopment Project. Because of the time cnunch, they had to
mnve on a project, aad this was a quick pro�ect and one that was justifiable
under the regulat#ons.
Mr. #,�nn Boergerhoff asked if the scope of these programs is just timited to
each city. It seemed that in a lo�t of cases, what happens in Fridley could
a7�o benefit Coon Rapids, etc.
Mr, Boardman stated there is a lot of discussion goin9 on, especially in the
smatler comnun4ties that don't receive much money. .He stated he thou9ht that in
�he smaller co�nunities, they are going to see Circle Pines, Lino Lakes, Center-
viite, and those types of ccmmunities getting tpgett�er and working on a joint
pro�ect. He did no# foresee that happening in Blaine, Coon Rapids, or Fridley.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT C�IISSION MEETIN6, OCFt16€R 13 1981 PAGE 6
Mr. Boar�nan stated that-Qne thing that has to be considered is that'HUD does
not like to #und on-going programs. HUD lfkes to look at concrete items that
can be c�npleted in orte year. HUD wilt fund planrting-type of programs, but dces
not get involved in long term ori-going fund3ng activities. HUD will fund accessi-
bie type"projects such as making a buflding accessible to the handicapped.
Mr. Oqu9st mentioned some of the items the'Gommission discussed at their 1ast
meeting that they could-recammend CDBG funds be used for. These included-- a
Riverview Heights neighborhood study - proxrerty acquisition, an elderly facility,
energy improvements - tow and moderate incomes, rehab funds - single family, home
owrrership, transportation needs - elderly and hand5capped, home maintenance
programs -'tools, workshops, possibly a Hyde Park neighborhood study for park
development, possibly a home ownership proaect for the Moore take Redevelopment
District - financing down payments for multiple ownerships, and possible an elderly
-housing development in the Moore lake'Redevelopment District.
Ms. Gustafson stated she'would like to explore the possibility of providing write-
down loans for home ownership in the Moore �ake Redevelapment District. '
Mr. Boardman stated he would h�gg:to. tatk to the Anoka County consultant to see
if that would be an apprapriate use of the funds,.
Mr. Boardman stated that whak he would like to do now is talk to the City Manager
about witat projects he fieets the City Couneii might be interested in. With that
input and with input from the Community Development Comnission, he will put
together sane projects that Staff feels wou7d be appropriate. Ne stated he will
- bring that to the next meeting, He would like the, Comnission to prioritize these
pro�ects for subm�ttal to the City Council.
_ Mr: Oquist stated'that maybe Staff could 'look into the area of a study on trans-
portation to see if tMere would be any justification for funding.
Mr. Oquist thanked those in the audience for-eoming and for the input.
3. ANUKA COUNTY HOUSIN6 R€SWRCE BOARD (Memo #81-74�:
Ms. Cdyan stated that tfie Anoka Couniy Hausing Resource Board waa apparently
- formed in 1976. It has been relatively inactive, and Mr. Joe Grillo, Sr. Planner
fran the City of Coon Rapids, is atiempting to get the 8oard aciive again. She
stated Mr. GritTo has r-equested citizen participation, rather than staff partici-
pation. She asked if a�yone on the Canmission wou7d be interested 4n attending
the October 14 meet3ng in order to obiain furthec information about the organiaa-
tion.
i Ms. Gustafson stated she was fnterested and wou�tl,try to attend this meeting.
2. PllBLI£: COMMENT 4N USES -0F CDBG FUNDS:
/ .
Mr. Lynn Boergerhoff stated he is the Co-chairperson of the IYDP (International
Year o# Disabled Persons) Gamnittee, which was formulated last spring.. In
canversations of the people who attended the comnittee's first meeting, certain
needs were addressed, transportation was specifically addressed as an unmet need
on the county tevel and trie city level for anyone who has any kind of health
problem that limits mobi7ity. At first the Comnittee focused their attention on
transportation ' needs and thep felt they should cattvas the City and try to
understand how many different areas of need there realiy are.
Mr. Boergerhoff stated they put together a questionna3re of about 26 questions
wh�ch was tMen ma9]ed out w9th the city newsletter in mid-September to every
hausehotd in fridley. He stated they have recefv�c! back approximately 700 out of
16,385:fi,hat were mailed out, Even though this does not seem like very many
responses, he stated it is indeed enough to make a good essessment of the feelings
'of those people wfio have persons in the�r househoTds who, because of health
problems, have experienced problems in the comnunity. At a meeting at Unity
Naspital, it �c� out that both the private organizations and Unity Hospital are
very fnterested in the results of this survey. A private business has offered to
use its computer facilities to handte the results of the survey. The IYDP Gomnittee
has accepted this oifer as, hopefully, the survey wili be published and mad�,
avaita6le to anyone wfio is'interested. The survey is in the process ofi being
canpleted by the computer facility, and the Committee should be receiving sane
in€ts�iian back on it in November.
Mr, Boengerhoff stated he fett there wilt be some defini'te need in transpor_tation
ta bu4ldings, both pr�vate and possibly pubiic, and may 6e in health care,
er�loyment. education, ar whatever other needs are reflected from the survey.
Mr. Boergerhoff stated tMe Gonmittee also assessed what transportation facilities
are currently available in the city and the county. They found that there are
ma±�y�types of transportation services available, either public or private, and
some ar� driven by volunteers or professional peop7e. Many are inaccessible,
which means they can not 4e used by anyone with 'serious mability limitations,
or the services are Yoo expensive to use. The private providers, in many eases,
are ccmpeting against each=other to offer the serVice and essentially charge more
tF�an the average person can pay to go to the doctor's office or shopping at
Northtown. He stated there has been an accessible bus in the City for some time
- provi:ded by the Lions Club. The bus has 6een underut9lized, and he felt it
probably has not been advertised very well. He stated the use of the bus has
increased,now, end it is very like}y that the nuf�er vf people using the bus will
Gecome great2r than the bus's capabilities. The Committee feels there will be an
increase in the need for usable transportation services, both county-wide and
city-wide.'
Mr. $oergerhoff stated that at this pofnt, the IYDP Commtttee woutd like to"
recpm�end that some of the grant monies be set aside for continuing research into
the area ofi disabilities and health problems, specifically in the area of trans-
parCa,tfon. Th9s area has possibly not been addressed and a combination of support
fran the City:pnd the private sector together may restrit in at least a city-wide
transpor#ation system, which might expand to be county-wide.

through the Department of HUD. Entitlement grdnts mean that each of those
communities or counties ts eligible for "x° ataount of dollars. That "x" amount
of dol]ars are laid out vver the entire Unifed States. A dispersion formula is
used, and each o# those �nicipalities or counties is eligibte for "x" amount
of dollars. Last year Anoka County was eligibie for $2.2 million under the
CDBG program. He stated'that in fiscal year 1982, fit looks like Anoka County
will again be eligible for around $2 million.
Mr. Boardman stated that in aliocating these monies, the Federal Government
also lays out program elfgibility. It lays out specific things tfie money is to
be used for. Generally, the eligibte activities are any community deveTopment-
type of activity, including acquisition of property (blight and b7igRting condi-
tions), special projects>like removal bf architectural barriers for handicapped
persons or a pra,�ect that removes restrictions of mobility for elderly and handi-
capped, payments to housing owners for losses of rent that has occurred in ho7ding
a temporary series of housing units that are to be utilized for relocation, etc.,
code enforcement items for the deterioration of buildings, slums, btighting
effects, etc., and demolition and removal of those types of bl9ghting effects,
relocation payments for displaced individuals and families displaced by govern-
ment action, activities necessary to the development of comprehenssve planning,
grants to neighborhood based non-profit organizations; also activities that are
necessary to the development of comprehensive community-wide energy use strategy
and comnunity neighborhood redevelopment-type {�roj�cts.
Mr. Boardman stated that sihte Anoka County is just over the population of
2D0,000, HUD requires that all the municipalities in Anoka County join with the
Gounty in a grant,program. 1f any municipality pulls out of the program, then
Anoka CouAty is no longer eligible for block grant monfies as entitlement'funds.
It is not an automatic grant to the County. In last year's program and it wi11
probabty be the same this year, Anoka County is divided into five districts.
Then the County wi11 divide the sums of monies into each of those districts.
Tbe conmunities in each of those districts are then competing for that amount of
money. Last year; Coon Rapids, Blaine, and Fridley were in one group of munici-
palities competing ,for over $6�0 000. This year it looks as though it will be the
same group, so the projects that �ridley submits to Anoka County have to be
determined eli.gib7e by the County, by HUD, and scored on a point system in order
to compete with Coon Rapids and BTaine.
Mr, Boardman stated that Anoka County makes the application to HUD, and Anoka
Eou�ty is the adm#nistratoN of the program. Each of the communities makes an
application to Anoka Cnunty to distribute a portian of that money, and each
co�nanity is responsible to Anoka County for distribution and compietion of the
program.
. Mr. Boardtnan stated it is important to know that HUD does not have to disburse
the•monies. If HUD feels there are no activities in Anoka County that qualify,
they do not have to dfsbarse the money to Anoka County. So, it befiooves the
cities to put together good projects that are justifiable to HUD. They also
have to make sure they Itave a program that will compete with Coon Rapids and
Blaine, because those camiunities are Fridley's primary competition.

6201 Rice Creek Drive N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE 5ERVED BY REQUIREMiNT:
Sectia� 205.053, 48, #Sa, requires a side yazd width on a street side of s
corner lot to be not less than 17,5 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is.to maintain a hiqher degree
of traffic visibility and to reduce the ^line of sight" encroachment into
the neighbor's front yard,
A. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Z need the variance to rnnstruct a kitchen addition, plus a deck, which
is located on the south eide of the hane. The haoe is located on a corner
lot and the growth of our f�ily fzom 2 people ta 4 has made the existing
kitchen size inadequate."

A als Camnission Meetin - October 13, 1981 Page 2
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAf'F REVIEW:
This lot is located on the northeast corner cf Briardale Road and Rice Creek
Drive. The lot to the rear is a large lot (657' x 132') with the house -
facing Rice Creek Road. This lot eventually could be split into lots, but
at the present tima, it is the rear yard of this lot that abuts the applicant's
property.
The proposed addition will be 6' x 12' and extend out 6 feet tavards Briardale
(12.2 feet from the property Iine) and run 12 feet towards the back of the
structure, then the 6 foot wide deck will connect to this addition and run
34 feet back (18 feet past the back of the dwelling) and ext�d 22 feet
across the back of the dwellinq.
There is a 7 foot ba32evard along Hziardale so both the addition and the
deck xill be set back 19.2 feet fran the curb. If the Board recouaaends
apprwal of the request, staff has no stipulations to suqgest.
Mr. Lee Wraspir� 6201 Rice CrepJc Drive N.E., was present.
Mr, Moravetz showed the Conaaission an aerial view of the azea. Mr. Wraspir showed
the Crnmnission the elevations and plans of the addit3on and said there will be a
screened-in poxch and a new eating area. Chaiiwoman Gabel asked what would be down
below. Mr. Flraspir said they currently have a utilfty room and they will be putting
in fottings and ioundation and a cement floor to give them more storage room. j
Chairwoman Gabel asked about Woodside Court snd if there was going to be an eventual
connection there. Mr. Moravetz said that when it xas originally platted the buyer
tried to negotiate with the property owner but he refused so that area is excepted
from the plat. He statefl that property is big enough for two lots, possible three,
if the owner ever sells and that it is really 8ifficult to project when and how �
3t will be extended, Chairwoman Gabel asked Mr. Wraspir if he has talked to his I
aeighbors. iie said he spoke to several of his neighbors and none of them gave an
objection. 19r. Moravetz said the City has not received any negative calls on this.
Chairwoman Gabel said that her concern was �at aomeone might be building a hovse
back there and that traffice-wise it is probably not a real big pxoblem, especially
with a dead end. Mr, Wraspir said there is very little traffic throu9h there, that I�
the cul de sac eliminates most of it. Chairvroman Gabel asked how old the house is
and who will be doing the work. Mr. Wraspir said the house is 6 yeaxs old andthe
work is contracted out to Northstar Services. He said the siding will match the house
and the deck �vill be cedar and showed the Cwmnission on the elevations how the roof
lines will be tied in. Mr. Plemel noted that this was not a very controveXSial
variance. Chairvaoman Gabel asked when he wouid do this and Mr. Wraspir said hi.s
wife woul$ like it done before Chris4mas and they will start as soon as they can get {
the building permit. Mr. Barna aske8 if the under part of the deck would be opened
or closed. Mr.Wraspir said it will be screened off underneath the screened-ia porch
and there will bespaces between the 2" x 6" on tFie deck. Mr. Baxna ssid he sees no
problem traffic-wise an8 the a9dition looks well planned, Chairwoman Gebel noted
th$t vrith the 7 foot boulevard it still wou18 be 19.2 feet off the curb.

Dr. Boudreau stated that the City Council did approve the hiring of an
architect to help design the functional layout of the facility based
on the Corronissinn's recomrriendations based on the project committee's
recommendations. The architectural firm, Dicky Kodet, is in the process
of coming up with schematic drawings and concept drawings of the layout
of the facility which will include 3 gymnasiums, a swimning paol, a
multi-purpose area room. a multi-purpose auditorium, arts & crafts room,
senior citizens room, office space, running track, and kitchenette.
Also as part of the comnitment, Dicky Kodet has been asked to render

C. Update on Rice Creek Trail & Bikin�7rai1
Ms. Hughes stated the County had gone into the Creek bed �o begin
making srnne surveys. The next thir�g the neighbors knew, the County
was cutting doam trees arrd brush for the hiking trail, including the
bike traii, whith was supposed to be up on 69th. After the neighbors
compiained bitterly that the "understood agreement that was not written
down" was being violated, the County apparent7y agreed to get it written
down. The bike trail wi11 go in on 69th and the hiking trai.l will go
in down below. Dave torkelson was described by the residents in thht
area as having'iseen abusive -. sending people in to do things that
had not been 8greed upon either by tha citizens' committee or the County,
Dr. Boudreau stated he did see a resolution from the Gounty last week
stating Lhat the bike trail is to be loceted on the road on 69th with
a stoplight at 69th.
Mls. Hughes stated they should monitor what goes on there 4ecause it
is in the City of Frid]ey, and the City and the Comnission ought to
knav where that bike trail is going. If possible, she wauld like
Dr. Boudreau to keep informed on what is going on,
Dr. 8oudreau stated he would meet with Jofin"Flora, Public Works
Director, wha is the "liaison"witfi the Gounty.
D. Mowing of South Side of Locke Park
Mr. Terry Merriman stated he lives adjacent to Locke Park on the south
side of''Rice Creek So he is fami7iar with what is happening in the park.

t6e south side for at least the last seven years. Last spring, when
he realized tHe mowing was not going to be done, he had called
Or. Boudreau and Mr. Dave Torkelson, Director of Anoka County Parks &
Recreation Depac-tment. Apparently, Anoka Caunty feels they want to
leave the area unmowed in order to provide a more natural area for the
hiking trail that will be going in alon9 there. He stated Mr. Torkelson-
a]so gave him figures of the high cost of mowing and the number of man
hours it takes to mow it. _
Mr..Merrimare stated he lives there so he knows how badly the area needs
mowing. He is not in the minority; there are other people who would
a]so like to see it mowed. He stated that Mr. Torkelson felt the area
was not being used at a11. Mr, Merriman stated the area is being used
alot by kids and families, especial]y by little children who are not
a7lowed to go into the creek valley or cross to the other side of the
creek. He stated he was at the meeting to say that he would tike to
see the City conttnue to mow that area.
Qr. Bou,dreaa stated that the City did come in once or twice this year
and mow about six tractor cuts up to the power lines.
Mr. Merriman asked if there existed a master plan for Locke Park, It
would be nice to have a master plan so people would know what is going
on. ke stated the County did plant three rows of pine trees, but there
are very fiew left. Now new shrubs have been planted in there.
Mr. Young stated he teaches with a man who also lives along the Creek.
T#is man had told him early this fall that this area was not bei�g
maintained and that the kids were using it. The mosquitoes had been
bad because it had not been mowed, and the weeds were an eyesore.
Ms. Seeger staied that she thought that when the Comnission passed the
agreement, they had also asked for a master p1an. Ms. Hughes agreed.
Dr. Boudreau stated he did not believe there was any master plan on
paper. We did know the County had planted the tMree rows of pine
: saplings. He did know there was a plan to have a nature trail system.
He felt when they had talked about maintaining the park, they were
referring to the park proper. The area Mr. Merrima is referring ta
has no picnic tables and is nothing but an open a� under the power
lines which is an NSP easement. Traditionally, the City has gone in
there and mowed. The County had said there was nothing in that area
and they wanted the trail system to be as natural as possible, so they
were not going to mow it. Although after hearing from Mr. Merriman
and another resident in the area, he stated the City did go in and
mow the-six tractor cuts.
Mr. Young asked if it was possible that the City had traditionally
mowed the area because it adjoined private property, and so came under
the City's weed ordinance as a public nuisance7
PARKS & RECREATIOM COI�tISSION �E€TING, OCTOBER 19, 198] P�GE 6
Ms. Hugbes stated-the question gets down to wMether it would be inter-
preted that way in the future. If the City is going to Tet the County
pay for the main#enance of Locke Park, then she did not think the City
shouid be mowing that area out of the goodness of its heart. They
should reatiy ioak at that area in terms of what it shbuld be used for.
She thoughL the Conanission should request a master p]an for the park,
if they had not done so befare� so they knaw what the County plans to
do in the park next year. .
Ms. Seeger-stated she would also like to see a development pian.
Mr. Youny asked 8r. Soudreau how he and Curt Dahlberg fe7t the County
had hand7ed the maintp�ance this year in Locke Park.
Dr. Boudreau stated that in the major park .area, the County had put in
new picnic tables. He felt the County had maintained the area beyond
what the City had done as far as trash coilection and keeping iables and
equipment in good repair. He stated he did no! know how the reservation

inspector how he wouid treat th9s open area. If there is a master plan

E. Use of flanery Rark
Mr. Jim Hinrichs stated he lives in Fridley and his children attend
school in Spring Lake Park. He stated that in his area� he does not
feet they get good representation and hetp at Flanery Park. He stated
/ "'

'he is coaching soccer for the BlaineJSpring Lake Park Athletic Assoc.
which is #unded througfi the Spring Lake Park Schools. He stated the
problem is that there is no designated playing area for soccer at
Flanery Park. In order to practice soccer, he has to transport the
kids to Terrace Park. He either has to get all the parents to deliver
the kfids, or he has to pick them up and take them.
Mr. Hinrichs stated he calted the City in early October/late Sept. and
asked if someone would put in stripes for practice so they would not
have to go out of their neighborhood to practice. He was told it would
be impossible, because the City did npt want to �pen the park up to
organized sports. If Flanery is his park, wfiy does he have to take
the kids out of their neighborhood to coach them and give them practices
under decent circumstances? He had no idea what striping cost, but he
did not think he had made an unreasonable request. He would like to
have a good expianation of why people in his area always have to 90
begging to get assistance.
Dr. Boudreau stated that Mr. Hinrichs had called and talked to both
Mr. Kirk and himself. As opposed to the cost of painting the stripes,
which is expensive, they had explained to Mr. Hinrichs that it was the
desire of the Comnission and the staff to try and remove organiied'
act�ivities from the neighborhood parks and keep them for neighborhood
ase. Ne stated that Mr. Hinrichs had first requested footba7l field
markings and then requested soccer field markings. He was told there
is no approved soccer or football area at Flanery Park.
Dr: Boudreau stated that once they put lines on a field, they have
essentially said the field is a footbatllsoccer area; and if someone is
ir��ured, the City is liable for that injury because the City has desig-
nated it as an appro4ed activity area. Dr. Boudreau state that Fir
Ninrich had asked if he could mark the area himself, and this request
was denied beacuse of tfie precedent it may set for future park devel-
`opinents and uses.
Br. Soudreau stated he had told Mr. Hinrichs that Madsen Park and
Locke Park are marked out for soccer. Dr. Boudreau stated it is the
philosophy of the Department and the Comnission that, for practice,
they are more interested in participation then the highly competitive
thing. For learning the basic skills for soccer, he did not see where
the ]ines were that valuable. Ne stated he did'lend Mr. Hinrichs
cones for marking the soccer field.
Dr. Boudreau stated that if tfiey do a11ow each neighborhood to decide,
such as Mr. Hinrichs has suggested, what is best for that neighborhood
park, where do they draw the line?

Ms. Hughes stated
not like the idea
because it is not
she could sympathize with Mr. Hinrtchs, but she did
of �king a permanent soccer field at Flanery,
in the plan or budgeted.
Mr. Young stated the City has also faced this same problem with the
Fridley Hockey association as far as the availability of space. No
matter where you live in fridiey, you have to transpart kids in order
to participate in activities. He stated that in the Gomprehensive Plan,
which the Cortmission had approved, as Dr. Boudreau has stated, it was
designated tbat certain parks Mrould be used for certain things, and
that is the reason for the new carmunity park--to get the organized
sports out of the neighborhood parks.
Dr, 8oudrean stated that Flanery Park is just not a suitable area for
football and/or soccer.
Mr. Allen stated he is a strong betiever of local participatian in a
park, but more than the liability, he was.concerned about at what pofpt
do they not provide financial services to users of a park for the3r own
particutar activity? If they provide a soccer field, and then someone
comes in and wants an archery range, do they pravide that also? He
agreed there has to be a]im9t, and he dad not know if there was a com-
pranise to this kind of situation.-
Ms. Hughes stated that at this point, she did not see en�ugh reason to
over-rute S#aff on this issue.
Mr. Kondrick stated he certainly sympathized with Mr. Hinrichs, and
hoped Mr. Hinrichs understood what they were saying. Ne stated the
Comnission is concerned about people in a11 areas of frShcey, and
Mr. Hinrich's area is not a forgotten area. He thanked Mr. Hinrichs
for coming to the meeting.
Mr. Hinrichs requested a copy of the meeting's minutes when they are
avaiiabte.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 4 1981 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated this special use permit is being brought back to the Planning
Commission because of the change of operation on the property. In the April 6, 1977,
Planning Canmission minutes, it stated that a special use permit was granted for
a period of three years. Mr. Boardman stated this period was up last year, but
with the change in operation, he wanted to bring it back to the Planning
Commission. He stated City Staff has looked at the site, and there are some
problems that need correcting: clean-up at the back of the property, screening
of an LP tank, screening of the refuse container, maintenance of the hard surface
area, and maintaining panking 5 ft. off the structure.
Mr. Boardman stated that, generally, the special use permit has been complied
with, but there are some things that Staff found were not in compliance. One
was that the parking lot was not striped, and according to the landscaping plan,
there was a requirement for landscaping down the side at the time the permit
was approved, and that has not been done.
Mr. Boardman stated the new operator is in the audience if there are any
questions.
Mr. Bruce Hay> , 39 North Oakes Rd., St. Paul, stated he is one of the operators
of the operation, 5uburban Homes, Inc., which is now leasing the lot from
Mr. Jack Maxwell, who is the owner of the property. He stated they are licensed
under the State of Minnesota as a mobile home dealer and lease and operate a
mobile home sales lot on Mr. Maxwell's property.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Maxwell if he was aware of the stipulations placed on the
special use permit back in 1977,
Mr. Jack Maxwell, 3205 Silver Lake Road, stated he was not aware of the screening,
but he was aware of the landscaping. He stated that prior to the time of the
approval of the special use permit, a member of the City Staff came out and
looked at the property and said the landscaping had not been done because it was
supposed to be greenery and crushed rock had been placed instead. There was a
discussion at that point that the crushed rock was there primarily because they
bring mobile homes through there, and greenery would have to be continually
replaced, while the crushed rock can be put back to good appearance with a mini-
mum of expense. At that time, the city inspectors said that the crushed rock
was very attractive and was done in a high, pleasing manner, Mr. Maxwell stated
they have attempted to keep it that way. He stated he could not speak for the
trash in the back as he has not been back there.
Mr. �ay stated �hat as leasees:of the lot, they feel it is prabably one of
the most attractive lots, as it now stands, in the whole City of Minneapolis.
It is we1T landscaped, has a nice sign, and they are very happy with it.
Mr. Boardman stated he has no problem with the front landscaping, but in the
landscaping plan submitted to the City, it showed screening down the side,
which has not been done.
(Mr. Saba arrived at 7:45 p.m.)
PLANNING CON�1ISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 4, 1981 PAGE 3
Mr. Dave Harris, 470 Rice Creek Blvd. N.E., stated he knows both Mr. Maxwell
and Mr. Hague quite well. He stated Mr. Maxwell has always tried to maintain
a nice attractive sales lot. As the adjoining property owner, he is convinced
that Suburban Homes, Inc., will coniinue to run a good sales lot.
Mr. Boardman stated he is concerned about the stipulations he had mentioned
earlier. He has had a complaint from Strite-Anderson about the garbage in
the back of the lot.
MOTION BY FII2. 3.tBA� SECONDED BY MR. KONDRICK, TO CLOSE TNE PUBLIC HEARING ON
SP }�81-ZO BY SUBURBAN HOMES, INC.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMRN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC BEARING
CLOSED AT 7:47 P.M.
Mr. Dave Harris stated that, as he had mentioned earlier, as the adjoining
property owner to the north, he has no problsms with the mobile home sales lot
as it is now, but he felt it might eliminate some problems later on when
the property is developed to the north if some type of screening fence would be
put in along the north boundary of the lot. He stated that if this is a stipu-
tation in the approva7 of the special use permit, he would 6e willing to share
equally in the cost of that fence.
Mr. Boardman Stated that in a discussion with Strite-Anderson, they have expressed
concern because some filling has been done in the back of Mr. Maxwell's lot.
This filling has created some run-off problems. They indicated there is a drainage
system along the northern part of Strite-Anderson, and there is supposed to be a
catch basin, but that catch basin has been filled over causing some drainage
problems in the back area. Mr. Boardman stated this drainage problem and a
solution should-be discussed and worked out with the City Engineer before the
special use permit goes to City Council.

MOTION BY MS. GABEL� SfiCONDED BY MS, VAN DAN, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC XEARING ON ZOA
N81-OS BY DAVID HARRIS. �
UPON A VOICS VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMRN XARRIS DECLARED THE PIIBLIC HEARING
OPfiNED AT 8:03 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated the City is in the process of setting up another tax increment
district which includes Mr. Dave Harris' property. This tax increment district
will come before the Planning Commission at their next meeting.
Mr. Boardman stated the tax increment district is being established according to
State Law, Chapter 273, with justification based on soii conditions which is a
blighted condition: He stated they have soil borings on the site and the soils
are very bad. There is up to 25 ft. of peat in some areas, and there are also
a 1ot of drainage problems. For this reason, the City Manager requested Staff
to put together a tax increment district package for the Housing & Redevelopment
Authority. The Housing & Redevelopment Authority is presently working on this
district. The tax increment district will come to the Planning Commission on
Nov. 18, there will be a Housing & Redevelopment Authority public hearing on
Nov. 19, and a puhlic hearing before City Council on Nov. 23.
Mr. Boardman stated that as a part of that tax increment district. Mr. Harris'
proposal is also being submitted for rezoning for residential. He stated the
City Council and the Planning Comnission have had discussions about where housing
could be developed in the City. This area is located just east of Springbrook
Nature Center and is one of the areas designated in the Comprehensive Plan as a
potential housing area. At this time, Staff would support the development of
this project with a few stipulations: (1) a 15 ft. bikeway easement along the
west boundary of the property for the access of a bikeway along Main St. to the
nature center area; (2) rezoning be based strictly on the building permit appli-
cation; (3) 33 ft. street easement across the north portion of the property;
and (4) recreation be provided for the residents of the complex.
Mr. Boardman stated this would be a 360-unit apartment complex and meets all code
requirements. He stated Mr. Dave Harris will probably be applying for a street
vacation of Main St. along Springbrook Nature Center. That street vacation is
satisfactory to the City, and application will be a separate process. With the
street vacation, there will be adequate land to handle the 360 units.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 4 1981 PAGE 5
Ms. Gabel asked what market these rental units will address.
Mr. Oave Harris stated they propose to provide market rate financing rental units.
Within that framework, they are operating under Subchapter 8 which requires them
to provide 20� for low and moderate income housing. He thought that was the
justification to meet the requirements for the City as required by Metropolitan
Council and the Minnesota Housing Board and the justification for a tax increment
district. Because of this, he did not want the Planning Commission members to
feel that the quality of the structure would be reduced. These are going to be
very nice, attractive apartment units.
Mr. Kondrick asked how many 3-bedroom units there would be.
Mr. Dave Harris stated he would roughly estimate that 6�� would he 2-bedroom,
30% would be l-bedroom, and 10� would be 3-bedroom.
Mr. Boardman stated the City is presently processing a housing mortgage plan
through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The federal government has cut off
the single housing program, but they have left open the ability to sell housing
mortgage bonds for multi-family housing. It is the same thing as industrial
revenue bonds, only they are called housing mortgage bonds. They are tax exempt
bonds and; therefore, the mortgage rates are lower income. He stated this plan
goes to City Council on Dec. 7. He stated that as soon as the plan is completed,
he will get copies to the Planning Commission members so they can discuss it in
depth at their next meeting.
Mr. Saba asked if the units would be set up so the residents would pay their own
utilities or would the owner pay the uti7ities and reflect it in the rent?
Mr. Dave Harris stated he thought each unit will have its own service; that was
the fairest and most equitable way. He stated they are required by law to build
an energy efficient building. He stated he would guess these units will probably
heat per square foot for less than almost any house in the city.
Mr. Saba stated the Energy Commission would like to see these new commercial
developments and apartment complexes serve as a model for energy efficiency, if
at all possible.
Ms. van Dan stated that from the Human Resources Commission standpoint, they are
always interested in seeing more apartments for the handicapped. WouTd Mr. Harris
consider including any apartments for the handicapped?
Mr. Dave Harris stated they cannot and will not discriminate against anyone.-
They will pravide the necessary facilities under the ordinance to facilitate
the handicapped, He stated that, unfortunately, they are dealing with difficult
soils which will require them to put a portion of the buildings out of the
ground because of the high water table. It will require them to do some different
things with the buildings. Depending upon the contours, it is possible that
some of the first floor units could be designed for the handicapped, but probably
not any on the second or third itoors.
PLANNING COMMISSI0IV MEETING; NOVEMBER 4, ]981 PAGE 6
Mr. Kondrick asked when Mr. Harris would anticipate starting on the project if
he receives approval from the Planning Commission and City Council.
Mr. Dave Narris stated he vrould like to start next spring. He stated it does
take more to put the project together than just the rezoning and approval. It
is a very difficult financing market, Unless they are able to get the tax
increment district in there and some financial help, this project will not be
built here or anywhere eise in the metropolitan area.
Mr. Ralph Uirgills of Raffaele's Supper Club stated he is very much in favor
of this project. The area does not look good the way it is now.
Mr. Dick Harris stated that if they are going to be putting this area into a
tax increment district, perhaps they should take a look at the zoning in the
entire area. He stated he has not seen the soil tests on Mr. Dave Harris' land,
but from the soil tests he has seen, he felt it would be virtually impossible to
develop that land as M-2 warehousing as they know it.
Mr. Boardman stated he thought it was something the Planning Commission should
take a look at. If industrial does go in, they would probably have to look at
a different type of industrial development. He was not even sure it was possible.
He stated the City is looking at trying to solve the drainage problem
in some of the areas where the worst soil is. They are looking at the possibility
of using the worst soil areas for ponding and retention and directing most of
the water into the Springbrook Nature Center area and creating some type of dam
structure in the Springbrook Nature Center area.
Mr. Dick Harris stated he thought they should get an engineering study of the
whole area on both the surface drainage and the groundwater situation. The
ground water situation may even be more critical than the surface drainage. If
stated that if they are going to set this up as a tax increment district, they
have to look at the whole area and solve the problem as an area, rather than on
a piecemeal on-site basis.
Mr. Boardman stated that is one of the purposes for setting up the area as a
tax increment district.

Ms, van Dan stated the Planning Commission members had a copy of the work plan
for the Human Resources Correnission. One area the work plan addresses that also
seems to be a problem for some of the other cormnissions is"cottmunications".
Mr. Boardman stated that because "comnunications" is a goal for just about every
one of the member commissions, the Planning Comnissian may want to look at it
on the Planning Commission level, rather than at each individua7 commission.
If they decide each individual corrmission should look at it, then all of the
comnissions should at least look at something similar. Ne stated Ms. Cayan had
put together a 3-pronged approach to a"Communications P7an", which may be a
workable plan for each of"the comhissions.
Mr. Boardman stated that the member cortmissions have decided that one of the
ways of working with the City Council in specific areas with specific activities
within the City is to put together a work plan. At the end of each year, that
work plan will be formalized by the corimissions and submitted to the City Council
to inform the City CounCil what each commission's work plan is for the next year.
At that time, the City Council can express concerns or give direction.
Mr. Boardman stated he feels the preparation of the work plan does two things:
(1) It acquaints the City Council with what the commissions are working on or
what direction the commissions are planning on going; and (2J it allows the
City Council to respond back to the commissions on those directions.
Mr. Soardman stated it also helps Staff in the direction of the corrmissions,
because they now know what the commissions wish to do and can channel staff time
toward that direction.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 4 1981 PAGE 9
Mr. Boardman stated he would like the Planning Commission to look at this
Communications Plan so they can decide whether they want to activate it at the
Planning Comnission level or at the level of the member commissions.

beyond what S�RT a}ready has. They formulated a project committee and at the
project committee meeting on Oct. 19, they discussed trying to get the '
garbage haulers who service the City of Fridley to a meeting to discuss with
the haulers their views on source separation at the curb, in an effort to
branch out from the experimental curb-side pickup that SORT is having in four
neighborhoods.
Mr. Svanda stated they also discussed recycling oil. Apparently, the City is
considering digging up one of the empty fuel tanks from the old Standard Station
and burying it by the SORT facility for people to dump their used oil.

Ms. van 0an stated that even thougfi Dr. Baumer's concept, phiTosophy, and services
are very valuable, she #ett that'the Human Resources Commission still fe7t it
was a private industry and a pcivate practice and:should not be fund�d.
Mr. Treuenfels stated he thoas�ht that fact was brought out very well at the
Planning Cortanission meeting by Mr. Jerry Boardman,
4. PRESENTATIONS/SPEI�KERS AT COMMISSION MEETiNGS:
Mr. Treuenfeis statad that he had requested this be on the agenda, as some
commissioners have expressed th+e desire not to have!lengthy presentations at
the meetings, He sta4:ed that ifi the Commissiatt is considering inviting outside
speakers to make presentatiorrs to the Commission, he thought they should make
sure that each comm�ssion member is informed be#ore the speaker is invited so
that each commission ��er can giue his/her finput as to whether that'speaker
shou]d be invited. :
Ms. van Dan stated she sh4utd Ciarify her position about outside speakers. She
definitely agreed that the Camnission needs infOrmation from experts, and tfie
only way to get that informa�ion #s to bring in experts. Her main eoncern when
they were workinq on fundirrg r�quests was that some people talked fbr long
periods of time, and in those cases, there shoutd be time limits: A�peaker who
is speaking on a top#C��hat is an-area of concern io the Gommission sitoUld not
have atty time limit.
Ms. van Dan stated she wauld like-to have saneone from the CAP Agency speak to
the Cam+ission regarding their Mu'lti-Year Action F1an. At the last meeting,
Ms. Cayan had stated that she knew a speaker #rqn the CAP Agency would be willing
to come and speak to the Cnmm^ission about the pian and the Human Serv�ces Council.
Ms. uan Dan stated that, if there were no objectiens from the other Gomnission
members, she woutd l{ke to invite someone from the GAP Agency to attend the next
Comnission meeting, if:poss#bte.
Mr, Treuenfels and Mr. Go�dSpeed stated they would like to have someone from
the CAP Agency speak to thE Cannission.
5. OTHER BUSINESS:
Ms. Cayan stated that at the last meeting. a motion was made to ask Staff to
look into the possibil9ty o# comxission members receiving copies o# other
coqraissions' minutes, Sfie stated there is no'probt�n and any commi-5sion member
can request to receive other comnission minutes.
Mr. Treuenfels stated he vrould tike to receive copies of the other commissions'
minutes which contain discussion of workplans.
