UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CNAIRMAN HARRI5 DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING REOPENED AT 7:38 P.M. h1r. 8 oardman stated that Mr. Doty had contacted him and requested that the Planning Commission continue this item until the Feb. 25 meeting. Mr. Doty had stated he was getting a surveyor to find out exactly how much land he does have � �in order to put together some plans for the Planning Commission for R-2 property. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to notify the neighbors. : PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 2 n Mr. Boardman stated that in view of the number of people in the audience and the presence of a petition, the petition and any further testimony from the people should be presented to the Planning Commission. (Ms. Hughes arrived at the meeting at 7:41 p.m.) Mr. Michael Larson, 6390 Starlite Blvd., read the petition opposing the rezoning from M-1 to either R-2 or R-3. He stated the names on the petition were just a small sampling of the neighborhood. Many more people support these views and they will be at the next Planning Commission meeting if needed. MOTION BY 1�2. WHARTON, SECONDED BY MS. SCHAIABEL, T0 RECEIVE TNE PETITION REQUEST- ING THE PLANNIIVG COMMISSICN TO REJECT THE CONSIDERATION OF REZONING THIS PROPERTY FROM M-1 TO EITHER R-2 OR R-3. (Petition 1-�98�� UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN EARRIS DECI�ARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Harris stated the petition was received and would accompany tl�e Planning Commission's m.inutes to the City Council on this item. Ms. Judy Kidder, 6360 Starlite Blvd., stated they had spent the past week getting prganized and contacting other neighbors. They had made arrangements to come to this meeting, and many of them had babysitters. She asked if the Planning Commission could make a decision on this rezoning request that evening as none '�� of them had been notified of the request for continuation by the petitioners. She did not think it was fair if this was continued. Mr. Harris stated the decision to continue or move on this item was up to the Planning Commission. He stated he was rather upset that Mr. Doty has asked for a continuation at such a late date. Mr. Harrisstated he thought the Commission had made it plain to Mr. Doty and everyone else concerned that he was expected back at this meeting with his proposal. Mr. Rice, 100 Sylvan Lane, stated that back in 1965, they had a problem with a low spot in the Sylvan Hills area, but there were no complaints about flooded basements or sewer problems. After Satellite East and West was built, all of a sudden the City Engineering Dept. was flooded with complaints of flooded base- ments and backed-up sewers. A new pumping station had to be built and water mains enlarged. This cost the Sylvan Hills neighbors quite a bit of money. He stated that, if additional units were built, would the present pumping station be big enoug h to han d le t he extra sewage? Mr. Boardman stated the City Engineering Dept. had looked at this and did not see any problems. Mr. Rice stated that he was told that Mr. Doty wanted a blanket permit to put in whatever he wanted. What isto stop Mr. Doty from putting in 68 units instead of 34? "-1 - _� n � 29 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETTP�G, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 3 Mr. Boardman stated that 34 units is the maximum density Mr. Doty can put in on �hat property with that zoning. Ms. Carolyn Johnson, 6336 Star]ite Blvd., stated that Mr, Doty and Mr. Wellner had indicated they were concerned about their financial losses. She stated that before they purchased theland, they should have made the agreement to purchase the land only after it was rezoned to their liking--not to purchase the land first and then decide they want it rezoned. Mr. Longerbone, 180 Sylvan Lane, stated there are very few double bungaloes in the City of Fridley that are decent, and why should their neighborhood be ruined because Mr. Doty wants to put in double bungaloes? Ms. Carolyn Johnson stated that Mr. Doty has commented on how beaufifu] his duplexes are on 5th Street. She stated they are not beautiful, they look terrible and are not kept up at all. She wished he was in the audience to he�r that. Mr. Larson stated one of the big issues brought up at the last Planning Commission meeting was the opinion that it was not financially feasible to develop this property into single family homes. He stated he was convinced it was feasible. He thought the real point Mr. Doty was trying to make was the maximum profit would be realized by rezoning the property to R-2. He staied their whole purpose, for being at the Planning Commission in greater numbers this evening (and would be in even greater numbers at any future meeting) was they feel any incremental profit that might be realiied by developing this property into double bungaloes is going to be directly offset by their individua] homes. They feel they have enough multiple family housing and feel it wou]d be a rea7 burden. They would appreciate it if this request was rejected at this time. Mr. Frank Liebl, 222 Mercury Dr., stated he lives a block and a half away from this property. He stated he could see both sides of the issue. He would like to point out that they already have quite a few multiple housing units in R-3 whi�h have created traffic problems. If more R-2 or R-3 are put in, it would just multiply the problem from a traffic standpoint. He stated Mr. Doty and Mr. Wellner have the right to develop their property, but even an additiona] 14 units are going to increase their traffic problem. If this property is rezoned R-2 or R-3, he felt it would be detrimental to their neighborhood and would compound the problem they are facing right now. Ms. Jan Christenson, 6260 Starlite Blvd., stated that last summer her husband was granted a special use permit to build a garage with the intention of building a new home. Right now, as their plans stand, the house wi77 cost around $130,000. Now they wonder if they should put that house there if these uni�s are to be built. What wil] be the value Qf that home �wo years from now if �hose units are built? Ms. Donna Messer, 114 Satellite Lane, stated.she lives in the second house from the end on Satellite Lane. She stated she watches the cars use this street as n a drag s�rip. A couple ofi children always play on the blind corner, and they just happened to not be playing there one day when a truck drove up into the neighbor's yard. -�-� 30 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 4 Ms. Gail Ahrens, 198 Mercury Dr., stated they'haVe suffered around $500-600 worth of damage from cars that come across their ]awn and hit trees. She stated they are fortunate that the Satellite Apartments are kept up as well as they are. but this may not always be the case. She stated the apartment owners should be conunended for the good up-keep of those apartments. She stated if duplexes are added, the whole neighborhood could go down the drain financially within a couple of years. Mr. Liebl stated they are not opposed to Mr. Doty doing something with his property�, but they have to look at what kind of impact this proposal will have on this neighborhood. . Mr. Larson stated that Mr. Doty could come in with plans for the Taj Mahal, and if it is in an R-2 or R-3 zone, they would be very much against it. He stated that in the best interests of the Planning Commfssion's time and their time, they would appreciate it if the Planning Commission would make a decision on this proposal that evening. MOTION BY 1�2. WHARTON, SECONDED BY MS. SCHNABEL, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ZOA #80-06 BY W. G. DOTY AND GARY A. WELLNER. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLA�2ED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:08 P.M. Ms. Schnabel stated that last time when they heard this proposal, she seconded and supported a motion to deny this request. She stated she did not have any reason to change her mind; however, she was a 7itt7e uncomfortable denying it again in Mr. Doty's and Mr. Wellner's absence. She stated the petitioners have paid $125 for the rezaning request and $l25 for the vacation request, and she felt uncomfortable denying them their "day in eourt". She stated she knows the residents' feelings and she supports those feelings. Mr. Wharton stated he felt that if the petitioners were that interested in their $250, they would have been at the meeting. Mr. Svanda stated he agreed with that and did not have any sympathy for the �act that the petitioners were not at the meeting. Mr. Harris stated he also agreed. Mr. Treuenfels stated he did not see any reason to continue this.item. Ms. Hughes stated she also did not have any sympathy in terms of the money. Mr. Doty came before the Planning Commission unprepared and prematurely, but she did think they owed him a hearing. i''1 ,� - � � PLF�NNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 5 MOTION BY MS• SCHNABEL, SECONDED BY MR.

THE REASOIN5 FOR DENIAL ARE: 1. THE OVERWHELMING FEELING5 OF THE NEIGHBO.RHOOD AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE AT BOTH PUBLIC HEARINGS AND BY TXE PETITION THAT WA5 SIGNED BY THE NEIGHBORS; AND 2. THAT MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL ON THAT PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY IS 1110T IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH REGARD TO, BASICALLY, TRAFFIC AND THE FACT THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY HAS A R�ITHER HIGH IMPACT OF MULTIPLE DWELLII+IGS IN IT.

CONTINUED: VACATION RE UEST, SAV #80-14, BY W. G. DOTY AND GARY A. WELLNER: Vacate that part of Minnesota Street, as laid out in Lowe Addition to Fridley Park; or Mercury Drive, as laid out in Sylvan Hil]s Plat �, now known as Satellite'Lane, ]ying West of the Northerly extension of the West line of Starlite Blvd., also being the East line of Lot l, Block 4, Sylvan Hills Plat 3. Mr. Harris stated this was not a public hearing, but they would conduct it as an informal public hearing. Mr. Boardman stated at the end of Satellite Lane, the City has some street right-of-way. The eventual plan at one time was that Satellite Lane would cross the railroad tracks. He stated this is not going to happen. The petitioner has requested vacation primarily because of additional land for development. At this time, the City has no problem with the vacation. The City is not using the street right-of-way and aaill not be using�it. Mr. Michael Larson, 6390 Satellite Lane, stated he is really the only one affected by this vacation as his lot line adjoins the easement. He has mixed feelings about it, but he will not oppose the vacation in the hope that he will see this property developed R-l. If there was any chance it would be developed R-2 or R-3, he would speak against the vacation. ,� 31 �1 '� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 6, � ^, Mr. Boardman stated he wanted everyone to understand that he cannot keep the petitioner from developing industrial if he so chooses as this property is presently zoned M-1, light industrial.

Staff has no problem with this request, and he has not received any objection from the neighborhood. Mr. Harris stated this was a rather large accessory building, and he would feel rather uncomfortable approvin� it without talking to the petitioner. MOTION BY MS. SCHNABEL, SECONDED BY MS. HUGHES, TO CONTINUE SP #80-13 UNTIL TNE NEXT MEETING AND REQUEST STAFF TO CONTACT 1�2. MILLER AND ASK THAT HE BE AT THE FEBRUARY 25 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.

SVANDA, SECONDED BY MR. TREUENFELS, TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT,SP #80-13 BY WALTER J. MILLER, WITH THE PROVISION THAT THIS GARAGE BE USED AS A GARAGE FOR PARKING AND STORAGE AND NOT BE USEIy FOR A REPAIR SHOP OR ANY BUSTNESS-FOR-PROFIT ENTERPRISE. Ms. Schnabel stated she could understand Mr. Svanda's feelings. Mer perspective came from being on the Appeals Commission where they hear these kinds of requests al� the time. As a regular practice, the Appeals Commission has always requested that the petitioner appear before them, ihey feel it is not good policy to routinely approve things because a person fills out an application, pays his fee, etc. By having the opportunity to speak to the peti.tioner, it brings out a lot of information that is not contained in the 8 lines of print � on paper. Even though, on face value, it appears to be a very straightforward and simple request, they have often found many under7ying reasons and circum- stances. One important �hing requested by the Appeals Commission which must be included in the hearing is the hardship of the petitioner--why the petitioner needs what he is requesting. She stated that in this case, there is no hardship shown. Why does the petitioner need this building and why should the Zoning Code be circumvented or altered to permit the construction of this building? For these reasons, she stated she could not support�the motion to approve the special use permit. � Mr. Harris stated he� concurred with Ms. Schnabel. r'1 ,` UPON A VOICE VOTE� SVANDA, TREUENFELS'� AND WHARTON VOTING AYE, HARRIS, SCHNABEL, AIVD HUGNES VOTING NAY, CAAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION FAILED BECAUSE OF A TIE VOTE.

Ms. Schnabel stated she fe]t the Planning Corrm�ission should be cautious about these kinds of things. She did not think it was in the City's best interest to act on things when they do not have the opportunity to speak to the petitioner. Mr. Harris requested Staff to�ask the petitioner to be at the next meeting. 4. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT, P.S. #81-01 MIDWEST ADDITION, BY LOUIS J.

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