BY BL�CX 10, because the construction did not foliow tne iot iines as p Gen�'-era�l y located between West Bavarian Pass and Brenner Pass N.E. Mr. Boardman stated this was the same replat that went through Planning Commission and City Council recently. There was concern by the City Council and Darrell Farr that if they had to go through the replat, they would have to rename the plat, and by renaming the plat, they would have some problems with the Townhouse Association. They would need all the signatures of the members of the Townhouse Association, and that could take up to two years to do that. Mr. Boardman stated Staff looked at the City platting ordinance, and the platting ordinance does allow variances. The Planning Commission can grant a variance to the plat due to conditions of hardship. Also, the State Law allows a correc- tion of the original plat to be filed with a certificate of survey. Rather than going through the whole process of replat, they can allow it to go as a surveyor's certification. That could be filed directly with the County, However, it would have to be brought to the Planning Commission as a preliminary plat. The Planning Commission would have to take the action of waiving the City's process and submit those recommendations to the City Cauncil. The City Council can then approve the correction of the plat based on the certification of survey. He stated this is the direction he would recommend the Planning Commission take.

WELLNER: Rezone the folias�.ing descri6ed parcels from M-1 (light in ustri�a— 'al areas) to R-3 (general multiple family dwellings): That part of Blocks 8 and 4, Lowell Addition to Fridley Park, lying South of the North line of Sylvan Hills Plat 8, together with the Easterly one-half of vacated Elm Street, and that part of Lots 1 and 2, Block 7, Lowell kddition to Fridley Park,lying Southerly of the tdesterly half of vatated street, located South of Mississippi Street, N.E., and East of the Bur]ington Northern right-of-way. MOTION BY MR. WHARTON, SECONDED BY MS. HUGNES, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC If�ARING ON ZDA �180-06 BY W.G. DOTY AND GRRY R. WELLNER. . UPON A VDZCE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CXAZRMAI� XRRRSS DBCLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:23 P.M. Mr. Boardman stated this property was located in Sylvan Hills which is a residential area. The property is presently zoned industrial. The property to the uorth is zoned M-2, built on Gy RAO hlanufacturing which presently has an industrial structure. The property due east is presently zoned R-3, multiple family structures are located there. The property to the south is all single family homes, and the property to the Urest is industrial (the rail- road tracks). 21 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN6, JANUARY 21, 198] PAGE 5 Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Doty and Mr, Wel)ner, the petitioners, are in the audience. They would like to have this property rezoned to residential; however, at this time, they do not have any plans as to what kind of residential wil) be developed. Mr. Doty stated he wanted to maintain some flexibility, and the most flexible zoning is R-3. Mr. Doty stated there is mu]tiple residential adjacent to this property. He and Mr. Wellner are looking for a down zoning from light industrial (h1-1} to R-3. He stated he would be willing to answer questions and would be interested in hearing any objections. Mr. Boardman stated they have an unusual situation here where an industrial piece ofi property is locked against a residential area. There is no other access to the property unless the property was purchased by RAO Manufacturing and utilized this property for development. Right now, the only access to this piece of property is through the residential area; therefore, it is something that should be considered in the discussion tonight. Mr. Harris asked how large the parcel of land was. hir. Doty stated it was 88,000 sq. ft. This area would comfortably take a 34-unit building with garages. As suggested by Mr. Boardman, R-3 gives them some flexibility, and they wou�d rather go R-3 than industrial. He staied he has no plans at this time. He has some thoughts, but will go with a�hatever is financially feasible. If the )arge multiple conplex is not feasibte beca��se of financing, they would have the flexi6ility to go into quad-homes-- that kind of thing. Mr. Harris asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak to this item. Mr. Robert Lee, )30 Satetlite Lane, stated he was involved with this, because, being in real estate, he had worked with this piece of ]and for about ten years. Ne stated would like to tell the Planning Commission some of the problems with this land. Mr. Lee stated the land was owned by Erick LeVine (Carlson-Levine, Inc.), who developed the whole area of Sylvan Hil7s. Mr. Lee stated he sold most of the ]and in Sylvan Hills, and one of the questions asked by the new owners �vas what was going to be done with the land. He told them h2 did not kno�a, because it was zoned industrial. At the time, he thought that some- time in the future, the land might have one-story renta7 units for storage, which would not disturb the residential area, or single fainily homes. Ftr. lee stated that Satel)ite Lane is a very narrow street; it is only about 60 feet wide and is one of tlie narrowest s�reets in the area. Traffic is very bad on that corner. Mr. Lee stated this particular lend is also high--about 8 feet higher than the street. 6ecavse of the se�aage lift station, because of the sewer in the street, and because of the multiple family units already on Satellite Lane, people are concerned because there is already too much traffic on the street. and they are concerned that the sewer can't handle that many more units. zz PLANNIN6 COMt4I5SI0Py MEETING, JANUARY 21, 1981 PAGE 6 Mr. Lee stated there have been so many accidents on that street that the City posted "no parking" signs on the street. So, there is no off-street parking. They just can't put that many more families on that street. But, this is Mr. Doty's and Mr. Wellner's land, and they should have the right to do some- thing with it. , Mr. Michael Larson, 6390 Starlite Blvd., stated that the mailing list shown on page 16 of the agenda excludes everyone on Starlite Blvd., of which he is one. His home.is the unly home in Fridley that abuts the property, and fie was not notified on the hearing on the rezoning or on the easement ihai adjoins his property. He stated the neighbors are concerned about traffic. Secondly, considering the number of rental units already on Satellite Lane, they feel that is rr�ore than enough for their area. He would never agree to another apartment building on that site. Duplexes might be o.k. if they were owner- occupied, but most of the neighbors are opposed to any rental housing on the site. He would also like to mention that there is quite a bit of pedestrian traffic on the easement, and that is a concern that has to be considered. Mr. Doty stated he was a little bit puzzled, because these people bought their properties knowing this property was zoned M-1. He and Mr. Wellner are looking for a down zoning from M-1, Mr. Wellner, b221 Sunrise Dr. N.E., stated he was the original purchaser of the property. He bought the land as M-1 with the intent to devetop it light industrial. He and Mr. Doty are now in partnership. They decided that because most of the area is residential, they should go to the best use possible in residential, which would be multiple housing. They feel this is considering the people who live adjacent to the property. As far as Satel]ite Lane, they now have a piece of property located on the corner which can go out 5tarlite Blvd. As implied, the traffic does not have to go up Satellite Lane. It may exit another way going out 61st and out to University. As Mr. Doty had stated, these people should have been aware that this property was zoned M-1, and he and Mr. Doty would be within their rights to put in light industrial. But, they are considering the neighbors when they are asking for the down zoning to R-3. Ms. Judy Kidder, 6360 Starlite Blvd „ stated they addressed the Planning Cominission three years ago concerning this land. It is a family neighborhood, and there are lots of smal] children. Because of the n�rrow street, there are children playing in that area. There is plenty of traffic �aith the multiple family units already there. There is a continual change in occupancy in a multiple chvelling. This is a family-centered area, and it �vould rea7ly change the character of the neighborhood to continue to pu11 that multiple family dwelling situation into a family section. She staied they bought their house four years ago, and they were not aware that this property was zoned M-1. She did not think a lot of people knew that. Ms. Paulette Reid, 101 Sylvan Lane, stated that the site in question was not visibte from her house, and she liked that. She stated it was not feasible to do a lot of industrial things with the land and maybe that is the reason E7ING, JANUARY I': PAGE 23 for the down zoning on the land rtow. She stated a lot of people were not notified about this rezoning, but they are here and that personifies the closeness they have in this neighborhood. Mr. Dennis Johnson, 6336 Starlite Blvd., stated he definitely objected to the traffic already going up Satellite Lane. Children have to cross the street to get to the park. Mr. Jerry Severt, 1�0 Satellite Lane, stated he moved into his house in June. He knew there ti�+ere apartment buildings there, and that was fine. But he would like to mention that he did not feel that the street could handle any more apartments, He lives right on the corner and knows the traffic situation. Ms. Caroline Johnson,6336 Starlite Slvd., stated there is no curb on the street and they have had people drive up on their yard. They do not need any more traffic. Mr. 4Jellner stated he a7so lives in Sylvan Hills. He stated the sewer has also backed up at his house, but it is not because of the apartments or the sewage station. It is a much bigger pro6lem. He also is somewhat concerned, and that is why he felt R-3 was better than light industrial for that land. Mr. Michael Larson stated he would not object to RAO Manufacturing purchasing the land, because they have aiways maintained their business very well. Ms. Judy Kidder, 6360 Starlite Blvd., stated they are also concerned about the upkeep and appearance of apartments or mu7tiples. They are concerned about the appearance of the neigh6orhood. Mr. Lee stated the apartment buildings across the street on Satellite Lane have always maintained a very nice front, and there is no problem with that. Mr. floty stated the land is presently zoned M-1 which �vould allow for the construction of a 37,000 sq. ft. facility. He had talked to some of the neighbors, and had talked at some length with the City Planning Department about the inherent problems. It was their thought that the multiple residential was a compromise between the single family the neighborhood would like to have and the light industrial which it was possible to build with the present zoning. Ms. Schnabel stated the peopie should be aware that the current zoning, M-1, allows for otfier things besides li9ht industrial; for example, a clean�ng plant or laundry, warehousing, retail sales building, offices, etc. Siie could understand them not wanting a large density of traffic through the area, yet some of these other uses might produce the same effect if developed under M-1. It seems the property is too expensive to be developed as single family resi- dential. It comes down to working out a cor:promise bet�aeen light industrial and the apartments. She did not think it was realistic to deny the rezcning request and leave the property empty. There is an enormous demand for vacant land in fridley. 24 PLANNING COMF4ISSION MEETING, JANUARY 21, 1981 PAGE 8 Mr. Larson stated his concern was that if the rezoning was passed for R-3, it was like a blank check and they would have no right later on to deny what goes in on that property. He asked if the consideration of the rezoning request cou]d be deferred until Mr. Doty and Mr. Wellner couid bring in a specific plan of what they would like to do. The main concern fiere is that they are losing some element of control,•whatever it might be, by taking one step back on the rezoning. Mr. Wellner stated that it was a nice suggestion, but there are do1lars and cents involved. The neighbors are asking he and h1r. Doty to put out additional money to put together a plan, because they were not able to do that at this point. Among other reasons, they do not know what monies are going to be available. MOTION BY MS. HUGHES, SECONDED BY MR. WHARTON, TO CLOSE THE PUBLZC HEARZNG ON ZOA �80-06 BY W. G. A'JTY RND GARY A. WELLNEH. UPON A VOZCE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYS, CHAZRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLTC HEA32NG CIASED RT 9:43 P.M. Ms. Hughes stated she has a lot of sympathy for these people's argumert. Ms. Modig stated she also has a lot of sympathy with the problem, but she �:ould be more comfortable with the rezoning if the petitioners had some type of plans. MOTTON BY MR. WHARTON� SECONDED BY MS. SCHNABEL, TO RECOMMEND TO CTTY COUNCIL DENIRL OF RE20NING REQUEST ZOA N80—O6 BY W. G. DOTY AND GARY A. WELLNER. Ms. Schnabel stated she felt the neighbors had a lot of valid arguments. She was not convinced they would be any happier with something under Ft-1, but they also did not seem to be happy with R-3. There did not seem to be any alternatives, other than R-1, and she had not heard the petitioners expressing the opinion that they would wish to change the rezoning to R-1. For that reason, she would go along with denial. Ms. Hughes stated that, rather than deny the rezoning request, she would rather have a motion to continue the item and ask the petitioners to come back with some plans.

Mr. Harris asked hcw this ordinance was different from the one they had �°eviewed in the Zoning Code. Mr. Deblon stated there were a few different definitions and language changes. Mr. 6oardman stated that, basically, there ti1�ere reference chanaes and j�st minor changes. They are not changing any requirzments. They still have the flood fringe that is buiidable as lona as it is built within the regulations. There is one change, and that is the Moore Lake Area.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTZNG AYE, CHAIRI�fRN HARRZS DECLARED THE PUBLZC HEARING REOPENED AT 7:38 P.M. - Pir. B oardman stated that Mr. Doty had contacted him and requested that the Planning Commission continue this item unti] the Feb. 25 meeting. Mr. Doty had stated he �aas 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. Unfort�nately, there was not enough tinte to notify the neighbors. � PLANNING COMMISSION IdEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 2 Mr. Boardman stated that in view of the number of people in the audience and � the presence of a petition, the petition and any further testimony from tfie people should be presented to the Planning Corrcnission. (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 peop7e support these views and they will be at the next Planning Commission meeting if needed. MOTION BY Mft. WHARTON, SECONDED BY MS. SCHNABEL, TO RECEZVE THE PETITION REQUEST- ING THE PLTiNNINC COMMISSSCN TO REJECT THE CONSIDERATION OF REZONZNG TNIS PROPERTY FROM M-1 TO EZTHER R-2 OR R-3. �P2t1tl0Ti �-�95�� UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTINC RYE, CHAIRlNAN HARRZS DECLARED THE MOTIDN CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Harris stated the petition was received and would accompany the Planning Commission'S minutes to the City Council on this item. Ms. Judy Kidder, 6360 Starlite Blvd., stated they had spent the past week getting organized and contacting other neighbors. They had made arrangements to come to this meeting, and many of them had babysitters. She asked if the Planning Commission could make a decision on this rezoning request that evening as none of them had been notified of the request for continuation by the petitioners. She did not think it was fair if this was continued. Mr. Harris stated the decision to continue or move on this item was up to the Planning Commission. He stated he was rather upset that Mr. Doty has asked for a continuation at such a late date. Mr. Harrisstated he thought the Commission had made it plain to Mr. Doty and everyone else concerned that he was expected back at this meeting with his proposal. Mr. Rice, 700 Sylvan Lane, stated that back in 1965, they had a probtem witfi 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 6it of money. He stated that, if additional units were built, would the present pumping station be big enough to handle the extra sewage? Mr. Boardman stated the City Engineering Oept. had tooked 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 ist� stop Mr. Doty from putting in 68 units instead of 34? �� 29 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 3 Mr. Soardman stated that 34 units is the maximum density Mr. Doty can put in on that property with that zoning. Ms. Carolyn Johnson, 6336 Starlite Blvd., stated that Mr. Doty and Mr. Wellner had indicated they were concerned about their financial losses. She stated that before they purchased the �nd, they should have made the agreement to purchase the land only after it was rezoned t� their liking--not to purchase the land first and then decide they want it rezoned. Mr. Longerbone, 780 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 beaufiful his duplexes are on 5th Street. She stated they are not beautiful, they look terrible and are not kept up at all. She wished he was in the audience to hear that. Mr. Larson stated one of the 6ig issues brought up at the last Planning Commission meeting was the cpinion 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 tr;�ing 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 realized by developing this property into double bungaloes is going to be directly offset by their individual homes. 7hey feel they have enough multiple family housing and feel it would be a real 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. Ne stated he could see both sides of the issue. He would like to point out that they already have quite a few multiple housing units in R-3 which have created traffic problems. If more R-2 or R-3 are put in, it would just multiply the problem from a traffic standpoint. He stated Mr. Doty and Mr. Wellner have the right to develop their property, but even an additiona] 14 units are going to increase their traffic problem. If this property is rezoned R-2 or R-3, he felt it wou7d be detrimental to their neighborhood and wou7d compound the problem they are facing right now. Ms. Jan Christenson, 62b0 Starlite Blvd., stated that ]ast sumner 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 will cost around �130,�00. Now they wonder if they should put that house there if these units are to be built. What wil] be the value of that home two years from �ow if those units are built? Ms. Donna Plesser, 114 Satellite Lane, stated she lives in the second house from the end on Satellite Lane. She stated sfie watci�es the cars use this street as a drag strip. A couple of children al�aays play on the blind corner, and they just happened to not be playing there one day a�hen a truck drove up into the neighbor's yard. �_. 30 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 4 Ms. Gail Ahrerts, 798 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 Apariments are kept up as we11 as they are. but this may not always be the case. She stated the apartment owners should be cortmended for the good up-keep of those apartments. 5he 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 Corronission's time and their tiroe, they would appreciate it if the Planning Commission would make a decision on this proposal that evening. MOTIDIJ BY MR. WHARTON, BECONDED BY MS. SCHNABEL� TO CIASE THE PUBLIC HEARINC ON ZOA N80-06 BY W. G. DOTY AND GARY A. WELLNER. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOSING AYE� CifAIRMAN XARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HERRING 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]ittle uncomfortable denying it again in Mr. Doty's and Mr. Wellner's absence. She stated the petitioners have paid $125 for the rezoning request and $125 for the vacation request, and she felt uncomfortable denying them their "dey in court". She stated she knows the reside�ts' feelings and she supports those feelings. Mr. Wharton stated he felt that if the petitioners were that interested in their $250, they would have been at the meeting. Mr. Svanda stated he agreed with that and did not have any sympathy for the fact that the petitioners were not at the meeting. Mr. Harris stated he 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. � , PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 PAGE 5 MOTION BY MS.

Mr. Boardman stated this wil] be set up for a public hearing at City Council on Mar. 9, 1981. 2. CONTINUED: VACATIQN REQUEST 5AV #80-14, BY W. 6. DOTY AND GARY A. WELLNER: Vacate that part of Minnesota Street, as laid out in Lowe 1 Addition to Fridley Park; �r Mercury Drive, as laid out in Sylvan Hills Plat 3, now known as Satellite Lane, lying West of the Northerly extension of the West line of Starlite Blvd., also being the East tine of Lot 1, Block 4, Sylvan Hills Plat 3, Mr. Harris stated this was not a public hearing, but they would conduct it as an informal public hearing. Mr. Boardman stated at the end of Satellite Lane, the City has some street right-of-way. The eventual plan at one time was that Satel7ite Lane would cross the railroad tracks. He stated this is not going to happen. The petitioner has requested vacation primarily because of additional ]and for development. At this time, the City has no problem with the vacation. The City is not using the street right-of-way and will not be using it. Mr. Michael Larson, 6390 5atellite 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-1. If there was any chance it would be developed R-2 or R-3, he �aould speak against the vacation. 31 � CITY OF FRIDLEY HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY SPEGIAL MEETIN6 fEBRUARY 1, 1982 CALL TO ORDER: Vice-Chairperson Houck called the Special Housing & Redevelopment Authority meeting to order at 6:15 p.m. ROLL CALL: Members Present: Russell Houck, Carolyn Svendsen, Elmars Prieditis, Duane Prairie, Larry Comners (arr. 6:30 p.m.) Members Absent: None Qthers Present: Jerrold Boardman, City Planner Virgil Herrick, City Attorney Tim Signorelii, Administrator - Columbia Park Clinic CENTER CITY PROJECT - PHASE II - COLUMBIA PARK CLINIC: Mr. Boardman stated that at the last meeting, they discussed what the City was trying to do with the Columbia Park Clinic and the development on that property. At that meeting, the HRA set the value on the option property at $1.45 per sq. ft. 7hey also made a motion approving the intent of the contract documents and agreed that if the Clinic goes on the property, they will take down the structures that face University Ave. This would be done within a time period based on the actual start of construction and completion of the Clinic. Mr, Boardman stated that since that meeting, he and Mr. Herrick met with Mr. Signorelli, and several members of the Columbia Park Clinic team, Dr. Wright, their architect, Bob Morasco, their attorney, Eric Anderson, and the architect from BWBR, Will Johnson, in order to get everything in order regarding the contract. After that meeting, Eric Anderson, the attorney for Columbia Park Clinic, did summarize the changes that should be made in the contract. Mr. Boardman stated he and Mr. Herrick have gone over these changes and the HRA members were given the new contract at this meeting. Mr. Boardman stated that, if possible, he is looking for an approval of the contract documents by the HRA and the authorization to enter into those contract documents as soon as all af the figures and all the partners of the Clinic get together. Mr. Signorelli showed the HRA the building site plan and a picture of the artist's concept of the building. SPECIAL HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 1, 1982 PA6E 2 Mr. Boardman stated there is enough parking on the site for the Ciinic, plus square footage for amenities, etc. If they are able to get a developer for the office building, at that time the HRA wiil have to look at it very carefully, because they will have to look at some additional parking in this area. He stated they got the indication from �r. Wright of the Colur�ia Park Clinic that there is the 100% possibility they would proceed with some portion of the second phase and 75� possibility they would proceed with all of the second phase, So, the HRA has to go with the idea that the Columbia Park Clinic is going to expand to the maximum and that it will most likely expand by 1986. If they are going to put in an office building, they are really going to have to consider how they would handle the parking. (Mr. Commers arrived at 6:30 p.m.) Mr. Signorelli stated the next step is the working documents. If the HRA feels everything is appropriate and the Clinic is allowed to go ahead, sometime within the next week they would commission the start of the working drawings which would allow them to start construction in late April, Mr. Boardman asked Mr. Signorelli to explain the financing, because that is goin9 to be the key to the City's start of acquisition, Mr. Signorelli stated their investment brokers are Juran and Moody. He stated they have indicated they would be willing to give a formal commitment letter, and that letter could be forthcoming within the next couple of weeks, or possibly sooner. Mr. Boardman stated it is his understanding that a commitment letter from �uran and Moody would be adequate for the HRA to look at as the 100� financing cort�nitment. Mr. Boardman stated they have completed the contract document as much as they can. They have shown the $1.45 on the sale price of the option property. They have laid out where the building would be located in the option and they tied together the necessary parking for that option,rated at one stall per every 200 sq. ft. of office space rated at 350 sq. ft. Regarding the question of easements on the option, they have added language that it would be conditioned on the City code requirements. Mr. Boardman stated that at the meeting they had with the Columbia Park Clinic partners, they did discuss how they would handle the office building if it was built. So, in this document, they have an agreement that if the City takes any of the Columbia Park Clinic property, they would have to provide improvements and parking back to the Columbia Park Clinic in an equal amount of space. One other condition the Columbia Park Clinic people wanted was a condition of where the City could locate an office building. Mr. 5ignorelli stated that at the last HRA meeting, the question was raised about what happens if the Co]umbia Park Clinic does not expand to the fult 28,000 sq. ft., given the fact that the City has an objective to develop around 90,000 sq. ft. of rentable space. They were trying to come up with the best way to protect the SPECIAL HOUSING & REDEYELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, fEBRUARY 1, 1982 PAGE 3 City and still not put the Clinic in the position of having a building right next to them that might block their visibility. The concept they decided upon was they would target an area on which another building could be built, and that if the Clinic does not expand up to the fu11 28,000 sq. ft., the City would automatically have the right to develop a building within an�ther area on the same site. Mr. Boardman stated that is called the "Negative Easement Parcel" under Schedule A in the document. Also, in the document is an "access easement". The Clinic is requesting an "access easement" of 30 ft. for garbage pick-up and for servicing the building, He did not think they would have too much problem gaining this access. Mr. Herrick stated there are four factors the HRA should consider: 1) There is a requirement that all of the buildings have to be acquired and removed within one year after the property is sold. The cost of that in terms of what it is going to cost to acquire the property and take the buildings off the property, the grading, and the loss of taxes would be a factor. 2) The easement along the south side of the property is on property that is not presently controlled. That property is owned by Fridley State Bank and would have to be negotiated. 3) A conveyance of the vacated 4th St. In order for the first phase of the Columbia Park Clinic building to fit on the property, they will need all of the vacated 4th St. 4) There would be a provision that the building on the westerly phase would have to be located within a certain area. (Ms. Svendsen left the meeting at 7:07 p.m.) Mr. Prieditis stated he thought the development of the Columbia Park Clinic would be a great benefit to the Center City area and a great benefit to the citizens of Fridley. MOTION BY MR. PRIEDITZS, SECONDED BY MR. PRRIRIE, TO AUTNORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO ENTER INTO CONTRACT AGREEMENTS WITH COLUMBZA PARX CLINIC. Mr. Commers stated he also felt this was a fantastic thing for the City of Fridley. However, he was still concerned about the cash flow and the require- ment to take down the front structures in phase 2 at the time of the start of construction of Phase 1 without some kind of comnitment on the part of Columbia Park Clinic. He thought they were giving the Clinic a very fair and reasonable SPECIAL HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHQRITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 1 1982 PAGE 4 deal as far as price and, therefore, he thought they should get some kind of . comnitment from Columbia Park Clinic. Until that takes place, he could not in good faith vote in favor of the structure as it now stands.

PI7BLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY ILEQUIREMENT: -. EFORE DECEMBER 29 Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the condition of over crowding of a residential neighborhood and to avoid an excess burden on the existing water and sewer services and to avoid reduction of surrounding prop- erty values. A. �To protect and preserve a unique and valuable state and regional resource for the benefit of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens for the state, region and nation; B. To prevent and mitigate irreversible damage to this state, regional, and national resource; C. To preserve and enhance its natural,�esthetic,cultural, and historic value for the public use; D. To protect and preserve the river as an essential element in the national, state, and regional transportation, sewer and water and recreational systems; and E. To protect and preserve the biological and ecological functions of the corridor. Aopeals Commission Tieeting - Januarv 26, 1982 pa�e 3 In keeping with the above, the public purpose served by the critical areas designation, section G,� b2, states that there must be 100 feet setback from the normal high watez mark of the river. B. STATED HARDSHZP: No other vacant land available, and setback would be the same as neighboring structure. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW As stated in the stated hardship, there is no other vacant land available and there are other instances in this area where homes are built on lots this siz e. In keeping with SectionJ,3, of the Interim Development Regulations for the Mississippi River Corzidor Critical Area, the local unit of government may grant a variance fzom the strict compl3ance of the setback of the interim regulations after an administrative hear3ng conducted accozding to the regu- lations of that local unit of government, and may be granted only then, after the following findings are made: 1. The strict enforcement of the setback oc hei�ht restzictions will result in unnecessary hardship. "Hardship" as used in the consideration of a dimension variance means that the property in questiun cannot be put to a reasonable use under the dimension provisions of the Interim Development Regulations. 2. There are exceptional circumstances unique to the property that were not created by a landowner after April 25, 1975. 3. The dimension variance dv:s not allow any use that is not a compatible use. This area of Riverview Heights is outs3de of the flood plain, however, if a full basement is constructed we will control the basement floor elevation. Also, we have infotmed the peti[ionez that City sewer and water does not presently serve this property and that he will have to make arrangements with the City to serve this property. Also, if the street is not hard surfaced or is torn up with the sewer and wa[er service, he will have to make arrangements for surfacing also. We have no other cownents_to make and have no other stipulations to suggest if the Commission choses to approve this request. Mr. David Kagemeister, 6608 Quebec North, Brooklyn Park, w-as present, Chairwoman Gabel asired Mr, Hagemeister if he had a house plan t0 6IlOW the Commission rr�embers, He explained that the cosemetic appearance of the house at the present time was speculative, but that it would probably be a single story rambler, A proposed scale, dated January 20, 1982, had been attzched to the Ad�:inistrative Staff Report, She asked, then, i.f he understood pP�eals Comnission Feeting - January 2b, 1982 Pa�e 4 his responsibllities concerning water, sewer afld hard surfacing. Mr, Plemel questioned whether sewer xas already on the street and N,r, Hagemeister replied that it was on the corner of Kimble and Riverviex. Atr, l�ioore askod srhether he would incur any expense from the installation oS the sewer and �ater. Ns. Clark indicated that another public hearing to which Mr, Y,00re xould be invited would have to be held first, but that he should not because he had alreac�y paid to have his watar and sewer installed, 29r. Barna asked xhether Fridley and Coon Rapids hadn't made an arrangement to run a sewer extension off of Broad to the houses in the back area and ta. Clark replied that no additional run had boen made, but that an annex, not far from this Iot, �had been made between_Fiidley and Coon.Rapids to square off some o1' the lots, Iiard surfacing is up to p:r, I�;oore' s tot and tne sewer is off of Himble. he added, Chairwoman 3abe1 noted that with the amount of area to be covered, it would be quite costly, but Mr, Hagemeister said it was necessary for the house in Coon fiapids ar�yway as it has its own septic tank and water system now so it uould serve a daal purpose, Chairwoman Gat�rl noted that for Mr. Naore's pxrotection- if the variance be approved a stipulation be added that all costs be incurred by I�,r. Fiager,ieister, When asked exactly what he was requesting, Mr. Hagemeister stated he wanted approval of a variance to build a house on a lot which does not meet the 7500 square foot minimum Iot requirement, but was instead 7273.75 square feet. Ms. Gabel referred to the lot picture and asked Mr. Clark for clarification. Mr. Clark stated the closest house to this lot was in Coon Rapids and was at least ten feet from the lot line, and he new dwelling would be five feet from the lot line in Fridley, which meets the fifteen foot code requirement between structures. Mr. Moore voiced his concem with the house currently being raited out as it has an open septic tank in the back yard of the house in Coon Rapids. He felt this was a health hazard. He indicated that he had spoken with the Aealth Department but no action had been taken. Mr. Hagemeister, who owns the house in Coon Rapids, was questioned by Mr. Plemel if he pumped the septic tank. Ae said he pumped it at least once a month. Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Clark how it would work to tie in the sewer connectfon in Coon Rapids with the one in Fridley. Mr, Clark said Mr. Hagemeister would have to get a joint power agreement from Coon Rapids to come come to Fridley to ask for water and sewer service, then petition the City of firidley for approval and submit plans and specifications to the City of Fridley for approval and run it in himself to servg both lots. Mr. Clark added that there was a joing powers agreement with Coon Rapids, New Brighton and Columbia Heights for borderline situations. 2fs. Gabel asked if an agreement was made with Coon Rapids to facilitate this, would the Commission have some type of power to see that it was connected? Mr. Clark said it would have to go through a joint powers agreement, being approved by the City Council, and is usually paid for in a lump sum because Fridley can't tax Coon Rapids property. Another option would be to send a bill to Coon Rapids City Hall to pay Fridley City Hall, and they would assess to cover their costs. The other annexation resulted because the Fridley lots were unbuildable without additional land. popaals Commission S?eeting — January 26, 1982 Pa�e 5 Ms. Gabel indicated to Mr, Nioore that having sewer would be an advantage and Mr. Nnoxe agreed, but further stated his concern over two rental properties in the area. Ms. Gabel asked Mr, Hagemeister if it smuld be a rental and he responded yes. She asked the price range of the house he planned to construct and he responded �75,000 for the house as it wauld be 1040 square feet, rir. Plemel noted tkiat vould require a higher rent vhich should attract responsible people, Mr. Hagemeister added that he always tries to screen rentsrs well as it is to his benefit to have people who will care for the property, Ms, Gabel asked Mr, Clark if the proposed dwelling Wot�].d infringe on az�y standards or guidelines and he responded that on the staff side no; and added that the way the plan is drawn on the attachment is the most logical and reasonable way adding that most of the houses in that area have the adjustsd se tba c ks , Ms, Gabel indicated that the variance was necessary to build on the property and if Mr, rioare had a formal objection the request would go on to the City Council otharwise it would be settled by the Appeals Commission, rlr. Clark added that the Commission �right want to stipulate an attached garage to the house to keep it compatable with other homes in that area. i•a, hioore said he was not objecting, just being concerned, TKSiION by rlr. 3arna, seconded by ifs, Gerou to close the public hearing, UPOi1 A VOIC�; VOiE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHASRLdOieAt1 GAB�L DECLAFCD TiL'; PUHLiC I�ARING CIAS�'D AT 8t20 P,M, t:0iI0Id by Mr. Plemel� seconded by Mr, 9arna, to approve the variance request to reduce the square footage o£ the lot from the raquired �$00 square feet to 7273.75 square feet, and reduce the distance from 100 feet to �0 feet from the normal highwatsr mark of the river to allow eonstruction of a dwelli.ng with an attached garage on lots 15 and 16, Block 0, Riverview Heights, the same being 8325 Riverview 2errace N,E,, with the stipulation that the petitioner enter into a joint powers agree:nent between Coon Rapids and Fridley so that water and sewer be brought to the adjoining structure in Coon Rapids as soon as possible and that s11 the expenses of assessments incurred concerning water, sewer and street improvements be born by the petitioner.

U�date - Referendum Vote February 16, 1982 Dr. Boudreau handed aut "Vote Yes" buttons that were put out by the � recreation building support group. He stated the support group is going to take out a full-page article that should appear in the "Community" supplement to the Minneapolis Star on Thurs., Feb. 11. This article would state some of the reasons why this facility is needed in Fridley and would urge people to vote "yes". He stated the support group will a}so be sending out some notices,and they will conduct a"call campaign" the weekend before the referendum. PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 2, 1982 PAGE 2 Dr. Boudreau stated the faciiity is gaining some support; however, on the other side, there is definitely strong opposition to the facility, primarily because of the cost. People are leery of having their taxes increased, which is understandable, and they do not know what is happening at the state and federal levels. Dr. Boudreau stated he has attended about 19 meetings with different groups in different locations. They have talked to over 400 people. Ms. Hughes stated that one thing they have to remember is that if this referendum is voted down, it has got to be brought up again within a reasonable length of time. b, Senior's Shopping Program Dr. Boudreau stated the Commissioners may have read about the senior's shopping program that was initiated by Connie McMillion. He stated they take the seniors shopping one day a week with the bus donated by the Lions Club. The program is underwritten by the Lions Club to pay for the driver and the gas. They go to Noliday Warehouse once a week and once a month they go to Target. He stated it has been an enjoyable experience for the seniors, and they hope to continue the program. They usually take two busloads of 35-40 people every shopping trip. Dr. Boudreau stated Ms. McMillion is now working on getting together a senior advisory council that would heip advise on the programs and needs of the seniors in the entire community. She has gone through the local churches and most of the churches have appointed one member to sit on that committee. He stated he wanted to make the Commissioners aware of this effort. 2. OLD BUSINESS: a. Development Adjacent to Springbrook Nature Center Dr. Boudreau stated the Commissioners had a copy of a memo from Jerry Boardman regarding this development. Mr. Boardman expressed his willingness to attend the next Commission meeting to discuss the Comnission's concerns. Dr. Boudreau stated that from the ihformation he has gotten from the City Council meeting and John Flora, Public Works Director, they will know more about what is really happening in about a month. There are some grave doubts that the money is going to be available for this development. Dr. Soudreau stated Mr. Flora has talked to Dave Harris, and Mr. Harris stated he would be happy to meet with the Parks & Recreation Corr�nission if he can put a package together to present. At this time, it looks PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 2, 1982 PAGE 3 doubtful, but if things do happen, Mr. Boardman, Mr. Harris, and Mr. Flora will be in attendance at the next month Parks & Recreation Comnission meeting, He stated the City Council and Mr, Harris are aware of the concerns expressed by the Commission at its last meeting. 3. NEW BUSINESS: a. Proposal for Lease Cancellation - North Suburban Hospital District_ Dr. Boudreau stated the Commission members had a copy of a letter from North Suburban Hospital District's legal counsel. He stated apparently the North Suburban Hospital District leased the City a parcel of land on demand by the City. He stated this small parcel of land is not wide enough for any physical types of sports, and he could see no need for continuing to lease the land. MOTSON BY MS. HUGHES, SECONDED BY MR.

INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF DISABLED PERSONS - UPDATE: Mr. Boergerhoff stated he and Ms. Cayan met with Dr, Han Chin Liu of the State Division of Vocational Rehab and George Creel from Health Central to discuss the results of the surveys. He stated he and Ms. Cayan will be meeting with Mr. Creel again the next day and, hopefully, by the March meeting, he will be able to tell the Caronission members what they plan to use the survey information for. Ms. Cayan stated the City Council agreed to put $40,000 of the community's block grant money into retrofit for homes owned by handicapped persons. They should receive that money in August, and that will be handled 6y the CAP Agency. She stated they may be able to use the survey information for the condominium con- version study the Planning Department has been asked to do. Ms, van Dan asked Mr. Boergerhoff what other uses they might have for the survey information. Mr. Boergerhoff stated they hoped to use the information to (1) express a need for certain kinds of services; and (2) to demonstrate that there is conenunity support and the possibility of financial support for those services--specifically, a transportation-type of service. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 4 1982 PAGE 2 Ms. van Dan stated she could also see the information used possibty as a basis to show there is a need for housing for the disabled. Ms. van Dan stated the Mayor signed a proclamation on Jan, 18 declaring 1982 the National Year of Disabled Persons in Fridley. She stated that since 1982 is now officially the National Year of Disabled Persons, the IYDP Committee may want to consider changing their name to the National Year of Disabled Persons Committee, Ms. Cayan stated a new intern wi11 be starting on Monday, Feb. 8, His name is Scott Whee7er and he is in the Urban and Regional Analysis Department at Augsburg College. He will be working with the National Year of Disabled Persons and probably wi]1 be channeling the majority of his time into the accessibility pr�ject survey, She stated she would also like to see him work with City Staff to deve]op a p7an for the accessiblity of the Civic Center. 2. DISCUSSION OF LOCAL FUNDING SOURCES LIST: Ms, van Dan stated she had compiled a list of local funding sources•where a project co�nittee or canmission could go for possible monetary assistance. She stated the Commission members had received this list with their agenda. She would appreciate any suggestions for other funding sources that might not be included. The Commission rt+embers made several other suggestions of sources for possible funding. Mr. Treuenfeis stated he thought this was a good list and should be very helpful to them in the future. 3. DISCUSSION OF PROJECT COMMITTEE FUNDING PROPOSAL FORMAT: Ms, van Dan stated that at the last meeting, Mr. Goodspeed had submitted a draft funding request form. She had asked the Comnission members to review the form for discussion at this meeting. Mr. Treuenfels stated this form was a mode] for any city-related group that wanted to use it. Ms. Cayan stated she knew the City Counci7 has been concerned about staff costs, and she felt they.should include a line for an estimate of staff costs if staff is needed for assistance. Mr. Treuenfels stated the best they could do would be to estimate the amount of staff hours per week. Ms. Cayan suggested that, even though there is a line for the project committee chairperson's signature, there should also be a line for the Human Resources Commission chairperson's signeture.

DISCUSSION OF ACCESSIBILITY SURVEY: Ms. van Dan showed the Comnission members a copy of "A Guide for the Handicapped" put together by the City of Brooklyn Center. Mr. Treuenfels stated he felt they should consider forming a special project committee to aid in the accessibility survey and they should consider whether any funding would be needed, the staff time that would be involved, and then pian for those things. Ne stated the Cortmission should try to minimize staff involvement as much as possible. He would envision that Staff would be available mainly for information and guidance. Mr. Goodspeed stated that Mr. Robert Minton has expressed an interest in helping the Comnission with the accessibility survey. He would suggest that Mr. Minton be invited to a Commission meeting, so the Comnission can get some input from Mr. Minton regarding the survey and a project comnittee. MOTZON BY MR.

HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 4 L,1982 _ PAGE 5 b, Comnissioner Orien#ation Fo}der: Ms. Cayan stated it is the time of year when some comnissions will be getting new members. In the past, it has been a"hit and miss" kind of thing for the new commissioners. She stated she has been thinking about formalizing this a little bit and possibly putting together a "comnissioner orientation folder.' This folder would have two parts: (1) a general information section which wauld include an explanation of the comprehensive plan, flow charts of the commission system and city administration, workplans, a description of the commissioner's function and scope, and a copy of Robert's Rules of Order: and (2) a specific information section which would include minutes from the past year, materials currently being used by the commission, a description of any project committees, names and telephone numbers of fellow comnissioners and staff person. Ms. Cayan steted she would like to know if the Commission felt this kind of thing would be helpful to new cortmissioners and if .they had any suggestions for additions to the folder. Ms. Noble stated she thought it would be helpful to explain the commissioner's term of office. Mr. Treuenfels stated a little more information should be included regarding the agenda--who puts the agenda together and how items can be placed on the agenda.

UPON A VDICE VOTE� ALL VOTING RYE� CHAIRPERSON OQUIST DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED DNRNIMOUSLY, 1. NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN PRESENTATION - Jim Rob inson: Mr. Robinson stated he has been in the Planning Department for about 2� years as a Landscape Architect and Urban Planner. Mr. Robinson stated he was asked to talk about neighborhoods, because it is a subject they have dealt with a lot in the time he has been with the City. It was initially covered by the Bikeway/Walkway Program where bikeway/walkways were analyzed in terms of the neighborhoods. He stated they again dealt w�th delineation of boundaries last V�d�C When it was talked about census data 6eing given_to the City in tierms of neighborhoods. He stated�both of their neighborhood breakdowns are similar, buL they were done in-house without too much interaction with the community, so it was kind of a shuffling of boundaries based on barriers. Mr. Robinson stated the Police Department has a Crime Prevention Program headed by Tim Turnbull. They have taken the City block by block and have covered about 90% of the City in terms of organizing people to fight crime. Initially, there was not much overlap between the Police Department's neighborhoods and the City's, in that the Police Department's neighborhoods were smaller and they did not really ION MEETING FEBRUARV 9, 1 respect the neighborhood concept in terms of services. The neighborho�ds were geared more toward the ease of getting the word out for crime prevention. But since then, the Police Department has now organized the neighborhoods on a little bit larger scale. Another problem is that the Police Department does not cover high density areas of Fridley. The Crime Prevention Program is just aimed at single family, Mr. Robinson stated what they have done in the Planning Department is take the Police �epartment's neighborhoods and their original concept of the neighborhoods and have come up with a hybrid neighborhood map of 39 neighborhoods. Mr. Robinson stated that the City Council liked the idea of neighborhood signs, but they wanted the Community Development Commission's input as to how to proceed from here. He stated they felt there was a need for more than just signs. The City would like to get some involvement and some organization eoing within the neighborhoods further than the Crime Prevention Program. They would like to enhance, not only the physical character of the neighborhoods, but also the psychological and cohesiveness of the people within the neighborhoods. As the neighborhoods are almost fully developed, there is very little the City can do with respect to physical development. There are quite a few thin9s the City can do: (1)improve the cortmunication channels within the City and between the neighborhoods and the City Council/comnission process; (2) functionally, there are services and programs which could be better supplied to the people if they were in an organized'body; and (3) aesthetics. t4r. Robinson stated that in terms of direction, he is asking the Commission if they feel this is a worthwhile endeavor and where would the Corrmission like to go with it? Some of the ideas Staff has touched on briefly are: (1) recycling possibilities; (2) energy conservetion; (3) landscaping; (4) earth day; and (5) neighborhood signs. Mr. Robinson showed the Co�nission members a sample of the proposed neighborhood sign. He stated these signs would be placed at key locations, and there would be about 55 signs. Mr. 6abe1 stated he felt there was a large percentage of the people in the community who did not even care if there was any kind of neighborhood organization. Mr. Oquist stated the neighborhoods are not like they used to be years ago when there were the ethnic neighborhoods that had a common bond of nationality that pulled people together. Today people have such a mixture of backgrounds and interests, and he did not know if they could ever do anything that would get a neighborhood concept going in some neighborhoods. The whole society has gotten away from the neighborhood concept because people are working, and there are so many other outside interests that people do not spend a lot of time in their neighborhoods. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 9, 1982 PAGE 3 Ms. Modig stated that because of the high cost of travel and energy. people are going to have to start turning more and more to their own neighborhoods and communities for recreation. She stated she really liked the neighborhood concept idea and felt it would be w�rth trying. Sfie stated there would have to be a few enthusiastic people in each neighborhood, but she thought if they started small, the concept could grow and the enthusiasm could spread. Mr. Oquist stated another problem is communication. If they establish the neighborhoods, how do they communicate what is going on in the various neighbotthoods? Mr. Robinson stated they would need to contact people to help organize things, and that part of the program has not been organized yet. The question now is whether the Commission fee�s it is a good idea to have more cohesive neighbor- hoods. It would probably require more study and research on how people in other communities have done the same thing and made it work, Mr. Oquist stated he thought it was an excellent idea if they can make it happen. Ms. Modig stated maybe they could start with one neighborhood and make it a pilot neighborhood to see if it does work, without trying to implement everything at one time. Mr. Oquist stated he definitely thought it was worth pursuing, but he would like to find out what other communities, similar in size to Fridley, have done and are doing within their neighborhoods. Ms. Cayan stated she thought if this project is going to go, it is going to take some research through this Commission or a project corrmittee. Mr. Oquist agreed they should probably form a projeci committee. Dr. Vos stated there were three reasons why he would support the neighborhood concept: (l) Fridley needs an identity -- besides Highways 47 and 65; (2j It never hurts to have a better community image; (3) Historically, •in most communi- ties, the neighborhoods are identified somewhat by the local school. As more schools close, there is less and less of that identity in the neighborhoods. Also, Fridley is broken into three school districts, so Fridley doesn't have the advantage that some districts have to begin with. MOTION BY DR. VOS� SECONDED BY MS.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 9 1982 PAGE 4 2. BIKEWAY/WALKWAY UPDATE - Jim Robinson Mr. Robinson stated he was given the 8ikeway/Walkway Plan and was asked to re-evaluate it in terms of today's needs and changes in terms of different nodes of concentration for bikes, With that, he put in the regional system, which provides Fridley with a major east/west, as well as a north/south link. From there, he took the rest of the plan and tried to detail what he felt were the other most important and feasible links. They needed other east/west routes, because the City has problems because of barriers. They have a great deal of potential on 73rd Ave. with the industrial tracks, and along Osborne Rd., in that Spring Lake Park is planning an off-road bikeway on the north side. Mr. Robinson stated he felt Central Ave. is of vital importance to the system, and he did not think the existing on-street bikeway is going to serve the community in the future, nor does it serve the community very well right now, because of the high traffic volume and parking in the bikelane. He stated 7th St. has potential, but Mississippi St. has very little potential because there isn't the room nor the right-of-way. He stated Main St, has some potential in that they do have the opportunity for a bikeway there. Mr. Robinson stated that in looking at the Bikeway System P7an map, some of the changes that were made from the original plan was to take Central and 73rd Ave. and make them off-street bikeways. Of critical importance is providing safe access to the new community park. There is a bikeway in existence on the east side of Uniuersity, There are now plans for a bikeway on the west side of University, and they want to provide access to the park from the north on the right-of-way. He stated he felt the bikeway on the west side of University into the park was a very worthwhile bikeway, and he would like the Commission's opinion of it. Mr. Oquist stated he would support a bikeway on the west side of University. There is a real need for people to get around, and it is difficult because of north/south arteries that cut through the City. MOTION BY MR, GABEL� SECONDED BY MS. MODIG� TO RECOMMEND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BIKEWAY ON THE WEST SIDE OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE FROM HOLLY SHOPPING CENTER ?'O THE NEW COMMUNITY PARK. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTZNG AYE, CHAIRPERSON OQUIST DECLARED THE MOTION CRRRIED UNRNIMOUSLY. Mr. Oquist stated the Commission wouTd like to be kept abreast of any new bikeway/walkway plans. Dr. Vos stated he felt one of the responsibilities the Parks & Recreation Depart- ment has is to educate parents on the bikeway routes. Not every parent has access to the bikeway system map. He felt it was important for the Parks & Recreation Department to tie the routes with a function or activity, rather than just a map. For example, when a parent signs a child up for a recreational activity, the parent should also receive information on how to get to that activity by bike. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 9 1982 PAGE_5_ 3. DISCUSSION ON "PLANNING DAY": Ms. Cayan stated Mr. Boardman had agreed that a"planning day" for the City of Fridley was a good idea, but he did not feel there was much staff time available to work on it. If the Conanission decides to organize it through a project committee or some other way, staff assistance would be available through typing, mailings, etc., but organization through staff would not be feasible. Mr. Oquist stated that since New Brighton has had a"planning day" in the past, he would like to invite someone from the City of New Brighton to speak to the Cormnission at the next meeting, if possible, in order for the Commission to decide whether it is a viable thing. He stated they should also ta7k to Sharon Gustafson to see if she has any ideas as she was very interested in a "planning day" for the City of Fridley. 4. REPORT ON CITY COUNCTL CONFERENCE MEETING: Mr. Oquist stated the Community Development Comnission and Human Resources Commission workplans were presented to the City Council at their conference meeting on Jan. 25. Both workplans were received favorably by the City Council, He stated that the City Council stressed that they do not want to be held to the workplan and want to feel free to give the Comnission other things to work on when the need arises. Mr. Oquist stated the City council will approVe the workplan officially at their re9ular meeting on March 8. 5. OTHER BUSINESS: a. Alleys Mr, Oquist stated he had learned that the City of East St. Paul does not plow their alleys. The residents have to contract to have their alleys plowed. He stated that in their previous discussions on alley vacations, the one complaint was that the City has to maintain these alleys. If the City is looking for creative ways to cut spending, one way would be to quit maintaining alleys. He asked Ms. Cayan to see what the City's current policy is on plowing and maintaining alleys. They could discuss this at a future meeting. b. Commission �rientation Folder Ms. Cayan stated this is the time of year when there will be some new commissioners on some of the comnissions. In the past, it has been rather overwhelming for the new commissioner, especia?ly if that person is not far?iiiar with the process. She stated she is considering putting together a"commissioner orientation folder" for new commissioners. It would contain the following two sections: (1) General information section, which would include an explanation of the comprehensive plan, flow charts of the commission system and city administration, workplans and explanation of the process, description of the comnissioner's function and scope, information about agendas, and a copy of Robert`s Ru1es of COMMUNITY DEUELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, fEBRUARY 9, 1982 PAGE 6 Order; {2) Specific information, which would include minutes from the past year, materials in current use by the comnission, description of project committees, and names and telephone numbers of feltow cor�nissioners and staff person. Ms. Cayan stated she would like to know if the Commissioners thought this was a worthwhile thing to put together. All the Commission members agreed that a"commissioner orientation folder" would be very beneficial to new commissioners. Ms. Cayan stated she would put together a sample packet to bring to the March meeting. ADJOURNMENT: MOTSON BY MR. GABEL, SECONDED BY DR. VOS� TO AAlOURN THE MEETING.

Mr. Boardman stated the lots in question are 6901 and 6909. The request is to take a 20 ft, triangle portion of 6901 and add it to 6909. He stated Staff has no problems with this request. Ms. Patricia Lester was in the audience and stated she had no statement to make at this time. MOTION BY MB.. SABA, SECONDED BY MR.

Mr. Harris stated that L.S. #82-01 was recommended to City Council for approval and would go to City Council on March 8. 2. REQUEST FOR A LOT SPLIT, L.S. #82-02, MARK ANDERSON: Split off the North $ f�f o`�$t A,�u�itor's Su6�ivision o. 2 3 Mississippi 5t. N.E.) to make a new buildable lot, the same being 653� Oakley Street N.E, Mr. Boardman stated the lot is located between Oakley and Mississippi Streets. Lot 8H is a large lot, 250` x 111.37'. The lot the petitioner wants to split off is the lot along the back line in order to create a new lot. The location of that new lot creates some problems. The existing garage will be moved and relocated; however, with the existing Zoning Code, the required rear yard setback is 42 feet. The difference is about 20 ft., so the petitioner would need a variance from 42 ft. to 20 ft. The petitioner is appealing to the Planning Commission to approve the variance along with the lot split to avoid going through the variance procedure. He stated this has never been done before and one of the problems is that a lot split does not require a public hearing, but a variance does require a public hearing. Mr. Boardman stated he had no problem with the lot size. It is an extra large lot and can legally be split into three 9,000 sq, ft, lots. Ms. Gabel stated she agreed with Mr. Boardman. She did not feel the P7anning Commission should grant a variance. The variance procedure requires a public hearing, and she felt the neighbors should be notified. The petitioner was not in the audience. Mr. Boardman stated another thing is they will eventually be looking at a proposal for a bikewayiwalkway along Mississippi 5t, and will be requesting 10 ft. easements for bikeway/walkway. Mr, Harris stated he would feel very uncomfortable acting on this lot split without the petitioner present. He would like the Planning Commission members to be able to talk to the petitioner before acting on the lot split request. Ms. Gabel stated she agreed, particularly when they will be asking for a 10 ft. bikeway/walkway easement. They need more information from the petitioner. MOTION BY MS, GABEL� SECONDED BY MR, KONDRICK� TO SABLE THE REQUEST FOR A LOT 5PLIT� L,S. 82-02 BY MARK ANDERSON UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1982 PAGE 3 Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman to contact Mr. Anderson and inform him of the Planning Commission's action. 3. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #82-01, BY W. G. DOTY AND GARY A: WECLNER: Rezone t e fo owing describ� parce�s from M-1 �light in ustria areas) to R-2 (two family dwelling areas),(except if this area is platted, 1 lot will be R-1): That part of Blocks S and 9, Lowell Addition, lying South of the North line of Sylvan Hills Plat 8, extended in a Westerly direction to the West boundary of said Block 8, and lying Westerly of the plat of Sylvan Hills Plat 8, together with the Easterly one-half of vacated Elm Street, and that part of Lots 1 and 2, Block 7, Lowell Addition to Fridley Park, lying Southerly of the Westerly extension of the North line of the plat of Sylvan Hills Plat 8, together with the Westerly half of vacated Elm Street, generally located South of Mississippi Street N.E., East of the Burlington Northern right-of-way. MOTION BY MR, SVANDA� SECONDED BY MS. GABEL� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ZOA #82-01 BY W, G. DOTY AND GARY A. WELLNER. - UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHASRMAN XARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:50 P,M. Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Doty and Mr. Wellner originally brought a rezoning request before the Planning Commission eariy in 1981. At that time, the proposal was for a rezoning from M-i (light industrial) to R-3 (general multiple dwellings). Also included in that rezoning request was a street vacation. Because of neighborhood opposition to R-3, Mr. Doty withdrew the rezoning request, so it did not go to City Council. However, the street vacation was approved by City Council. Mr. Boardman stated this proposal was for rezoning from M-1 to R-2 (two family dwelling areas) and that a small portion be rezoned R-l. This would have to be determined through the plat, and at some point in time, they will have to get both the platting and zoning together before it goes to City Council for final approval. Right now, they cannot split the land as far as �he actual legal description on the zoning; however, the zoning issue is the key issue as to whether this project will go or not go. For that reason, Mr. Doty has not applied for a plat and is su6mitting only a rezoning. He asked Mr. Doty to explain his plans for development. Mr. Doty stated this property is bounded on the west by the railroad tracks, is bounded on the north by light industrial, and is bounded on the east by multiple residential. In an attempt to get along with the people, they made the concession to make an R-1 adjacent to the one R-1 property this property abuts. He stated the zoning is presently light industrial. He and Mr. Wellner felt M-1 was not the proper use for the property in that location because of the residential neighborhood, They felt that with apartment complexes, manufacturing, and industrial that R-1 was also not a proper use for the land. For that reason, they came up with what they thought was a realistic compromise--R-2 zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, fEBRUARY 24, 1982 PAGE 4 Mr. Wellner stated that Mr. Doty has expressed his thoughts, and he is in support of this proposal. Mr. Michael Larson, 6390 Starlite Blvd., stated he wanted to point out that the drawing Mr. Doty had brought to the meeting was the first time the neighborhood had seen it. He stated his R-1 property was most affected 6y this change in zoning. He stated he and his neighbors have a number of concerns, and he sub- mitted the following letter to the Pianning Commission members: The nei9hbors of the Sylvan Hills area most directly impacted by the proposed rezoning, are unanimously supportive of either maintaining the current M-1 zoning or upgrading the zoning to R-l. We cannot conceive of an instance where we would approve of an R-2 zoning for this parcel! Some of the reasons for our concerns are as follows: PJEIGHBORHOOD INCOMPATIBILITY... Our neigh6orhood is almost entirely sin�le family homes with the exception of the apartments on Satellite Lane. We are proud of our homes. We work hard to maintain a pleasant apoearance an�iiereiy maintain the value of our homes. TRAFFIC & SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS... Satellite Lane is a narrow road and w�e have had to restrict parking to avoid accidents and assure the safetv of our children. The proposed rezoninq could allow 7 duplex structure�d'living units. If each of those units averaaes 1 and 1/2 cars, there would be 21 cars to park in an area comprised of a very short cul-de-sac and 14 driveways! The additional traffic wouid increase the traffic risks to an unreasonable level. IMPACT ON HOME VALUES... Whatever incremental orofits would accrue to the developer by obtaininq R-2 zonin9 would be more than offset b the reduction in the value of our homes. IJe are convince a eve opmen un er - cou e pro i a e to the developer. Consider the new construction of an impressive single-family home at 6380 Starlite Blvd. as proof of the viability of our area. CURRENT ZONING RESTRICTIOfJS... We see little risl< in maintaim n the ht-1 zoning because this property is essen ia y an - oc� rom an� cT'Tin usirial development viewpoint. Even if some industrial development were pursued, we feel confident it may be preferential to R-2 development. THE LACK OF COi�CERN FOR OUR OPINIONS... At no time has the developer contacted neiah6ors to discuss his thouohts and perspective. Apparently they feel they should be allowed to deve7op their property as they see fit to do so! The fact that the didn't do their homework prior to purchase of the property doesn mean we ave o surren er our home values to their ineptitude. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 24, 1982 PAGE 5 4!E QUESTION THEIR REAL INTEYT... Are they seeking R-2 zoning knowing our ne gF ori� o�wi o �ec . Do they intend to then "compromise" for R-1 with alot of variances attached? Having someone propose specific construction of a planned development is one thing• Having saneone seek a change in zoninq so they can sell individual lots to individual 6uilders, is an entirely different risk. In summary, WE REQUEST AND DEMAND THAT THE REQUEST FOR R-2 ZONING BE DENIED to PRESERVE OUR EIGHBORHOOD, MAINTAIN OUR PROPERTY VALUES, AND ASSURE THE SAFETV OF UR H�LLTITFET� �/% /� p � V / � �� Mr. Bill Zurbey, 145 Sylvan Lane, stated he has lived in this neighborhood for 19 years. Quite a few years ago, they had a sewer problem in this neighborhood, and he wondered if anyone had done any research as to whether the current sewer system would handle duplexes. Mr. Boardman stated the sewer capacity was checked when Mr. Doty had applied for the rezoning to R-3. At that time, the City Engineering Dept, felt there was adequate sewer capacity for that type of deve7opment. Mr,Robert Olson, RAO Manufacturing, stated he was at the meeting for information, and not to approve or disapprove the proposa]. He stated he understood that with the development of the property to R-2, it would increase RAO's setback to 50 ft. He stated they are now 50 ft. from the back line so there were no problems with that. He wanted to know if there were any other restrictions that would restrict the possible use of their property because of this development. Mr. Boardman stated that besides the setback requirement, there are screening requirements for loading areas. Mr. Olson stated one concern he had would be the grading required to put in these units. RAO's property is quite a bit higher than Satellite Lane. If the deveioper would have to dig out to lower all the units to the level of Satellite Lane, there could be quite a drop. He stated if there were no other major changes, he would have no objection to this development. Ms. Judy Kidder, 6360 Starlite Blvd., stated she supported everything Mr. Larson had said. He has done an excellent job in organizing the neighborhood as can be seen by the number of people who turned out for the meeting. She stated the neighborhood sincerely believes this property could be developed into R-1 and it would be the best solution for both parties. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 24 1982 PAGE 6 Mr. Larson stated one of the reasons they are not concerned with the property being zoned light industrial is because they benefit from RAO Manufacturing, which is probably one of the neatest buildings, from an industrial standpoint, in Fridley, or maybe in the Twin Cities. As a homeowner, he appreciated that and wished all industrial property was maintained as well. Mr. Doty stated he understood the neighbors' feeling and was not unsympathetic to the fact that no one wants a multiple dwelling built in his/her R-1 neighbor- hood, In his 20 years of real estate, he has yet to find or witness an R-1 neighborhood that was in favor of a multipie residential adjacent to it. However, he hoped they could allay some of the neighborhood's fears, Mr. Doty stated it is not feasible or likely that anyone is going to build a double bungalow for under $120,000. He stated they have submitted some various plans as to what the structures might look like. He stated they are very nice units. He stated they cannot at this time make a commitment to build those units on those lots because of today's interest rates. fHA interest rates are 16;%. Financing on double bungalows would dictate they be sold to owner occupants. Mr. Doty stated they talked to Mr. Robert Olson about a year ago as far as industrial for this property. They talked about buying some property and coming in aiong the south side of RAO, but they discovered this was not feasible. They talked about the possibility of selling the land to RAO because of neighbor- hood opposition, but RAO felt they had stifficient land for further expansion and would not need this additional land. Mr. Doty stated the property is presently zoned M-1. They are requesting a down- zoning. He is not so certain that a plan must have neighborhood approval, and he is not so certain that a neighborhood can�'emand what a private property owner does with his land as long as it is within the proper zoning requirements. Again, he wanted to emphasize that this ]and is M-1, it 9s bordered by the rail- road tracks, light industrial, and R-3 Multiple housing. They are requesting an R-2 zoning. Ms. Gabel stated Mr. �arson had made the statement about the possibility of the individual lots being sold and developed by individual builders. Would that happen or did Mr. Doty and Mr, Wel)ner plan to deve7op all of it themselves? Mr. Wellner stated it was their original intention to buy the property and develop it themselves, If the economy is such that they can develop it themselves, that is what they will do; however, they cannot guarantee that. Ms. Judy Kidder stated peop]e have lived in their neighborhood for years. They feel that even with duplexes, there will be a constant turnover of tenants-- even in the one-half. Right now, they do not get that constant change in residents, and they do not feel it is fair to change the character of their neighborhood so much. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 24, 1982 PAGE 7 Mr. Larson stated he felt it was his and the neighborhood's concern that these lots will be haphazardly sold off to individual builders. He stated Mr. Doty showed nice drawings of prospective structures, but that doesn't mean anything unless it is tied in with the rezoning. Again, he spoke for the neighbors when he said they are Cremendously upset about this and heartily recommend the Planning Commission reject the rezoning. Mr. Frank Liebl stated he sympathized with Mr. Doty. Mr. Doty has a right to develop his property, but not at the neighborhood's expense. He stated there is already too much traffic. Because of the multiple residential north of Satellite, there is'too much density in that area right now. He stated there are also definite sewer problems in that area, and Staff should look into this problem. Mr. Wellner stated he wanted to speak as a present homeowner who has property adjacent to duplexes. His property is on Sunrise Drive, and Star Lane has all duplexes on one side of the street. He in no way thought those duplexes depreciated the value of his home, because the property owners keep them in nice condition. He has lived for many years next to duplexes. He does not have the noise problems the neighborhood is alluding to, he does not have any more traffic than living next to a single family home with 2-3-4 cars. He did not think the traffic argument was as strong as the neighborhood would like to make it, and he did not think they could make the generalization that duplexes would devalue their properties. He stated they could do some market analysis that would show this was not necessarily the case. Mr. Dennis Johnson, 6336 Starlite Blvd., stated he lives on the west side of Starlite 61vd., and their children like to play at Sylvan Park. They have to cross the street to get to the park. Starlite is almost an extension of Main Street and carries a lot of traffic, much of which is above the speed limit, and the street is not safe for children. He would like to keep the traffi,c on their street at a minimum, and he felt construction of sin9le family homes was a way to keep that traffic at a minimum. Mr. Saba stated that regarding the issue of the care of double bungalows, he has seen some excellent double bungalows, and he has seen some very bad double bungaTows. He stated where neighborhoods are kept up, the double bungalows are usually kept up also, but as a neighborhood deteriorates, so do the multiple dwellings, He stated that at today's costs, there are some pretty nice double bungalows being built. He liked the effort Mr. Doty had made to put a buffer between the double bungalows and the single family residential. He stated he felt R-2 was a fair compromise. He thoaght they should also consider the sewage problem that has been brought up, and the City owes the neighborhood an answer to that concern. He did not know if they could address the rezoning issue at this meeting without an answer to the sewage problem. Mr, Boardman stated he would do some more checking into the sewer problems to see if there are any solutions to the problem. He stated he had discussed the sewer capacity with the Engineering Dept. for R-3, and they had indicated the sewer capacity was adequate for R-3. COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 24, 1982 PAGE 8 Ms. Catherine Scherven, 131 Sylvan Lane N.E., stated she does not object to double bungalows, because she and her husband are thinking about buying one. But, she did not think this area was a good area for double bunga7ows, because of the traffic situation and the water situation. She stated that whenever there is a rain, their street runs like a river. The water comes down Starlite and down Sylvan towards the park. With more run-off from a cul-de-sac, the water situation would be even worse. Ms. Gabel stated she would like the Planning Commission to know more about the sewer capacity before making a decision, and she would like to see this item tabled. Mr. Wellner stated he and Mr. Doty are not asking for any platting at the present time, and it would seem to him that answers to the sewer objections could be found out between now and the time they would come forth with a plat. At that time, the City could determine whether or not the sewer capacity was adequate for the development. All they are asking for now is a rezoning, and it would seem to him that the City would have control as to whether the development could be handled by the utilities at that time. He did think it was a question that should be answered, but he was not at all certain the sewer issue should dictate approval or disapproval of the rezoning request. Mr. Oquist stated he agreed with Mr. Wellner. If there is a sewer problem, there will be one whether it is an R-2 development or an R-1 development. The sewer question has nothing to do with the rezoning, MOTION BY MS. GABEL� SECONDED BY MR, OQUIST� TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ZOA �82-02 BY W, G. DOTY AND GARY A. WELLNER. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMAN HARRZS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9;05 P.M. . Mr. Oquist stated he did not necessarily agree that this rezoning request should be tabled. He stated he has always argued for the right of the owner of the property to be able to develop the property within reason. He felt there was going to be a sewer problem no matter what kind of development went in, But, because of the density already in the area with the multiple dwellings and the existing traffic problems, he would have to vote against the rezoning. Ms. Gabel sLated there are so many other things that could be developed on this property under the current zoning, which could generate a whole different kind of traffic for that residential street. That bothered her in terms of leaving the zoning M-1. However, she egreed the density was probably has high as it should be and would be inclirted to vote against the rezoning. Mr. Kondrick stated he shared Mr. Oquist's point of view on density. He would like to see the area better handled with single family residential. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.

Doty PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 24 1982 PAGE 4 Mr. Wellner stated that Mr. Doty has expressed his thoughts, and he is in support of this proposal. Mr. Michael Larson, 6390 Starlite Blvd., stated he wanted to point out that the drawing Mr. Doty had brought to the meeting was the first time tfie neighborhood had seen it. He stated his R-1 property was most affected by this change in zoning. He stated he and his neighbors have a number of concerns, and he sub- mitted the following letter to the Planning Commission members: The neighbors of the Sylvan Hills a proposed rezoning, are unanimously current M-1 zoning or up9rading the rea most directly impacted by the supportive of eiiher maintaining the zoning to R-1. We cannot conceive of an instance where we would approve of an R-2 zoning for this parcel! Some of the reasons for our concerns are as follows: P�EIGHBORHOOD INCOMPRTIBILITY... Our neighborhood is almost entirely single family homes with the exception of the apartments on Satellite Lane. We are roud of our homes. We work hard to maintain a pleasant apoearance an ere�maintain the value of our homes. 7RA�FIC & SAfETY CONSIDERATIONS... Satellite lane is a narrow road and a�e have had to restrict parking to avoid accidents and assure the safetv of our children. The pr000sed rezonina could allow 7 duplex structures or living units. If each of those units averaaes 1 and 1/2 cars, there would be 21 cars to park in an area comprised of a very short cul-de-sac and 14 driveways! The additional traffic would increase the traffic risks to an unreasonable level. IMPACT ON HOME VALUES... Whatever incremental profits would accrue to the developer by o6taining R-2 zoning would be more than offset b the reduction in the value of our homes. lde are convince a eve opmen un er - cou e pro i a e to the developer. Consider the new construction of an impressive single-family home at 6380 Starlite Blvd. as proof of the viability of our area. CURRENT ZONING RESTRICTIONS... We see little risk in maintaining the M-1 zoning because this property is essen ia y an - oc e rom an �n us rial development viewpoint. Even if some industrial development were pursued, we feel confident it may be preferential to R-2 development. TNE LACK OF CoNCERN FOR OUR OPINIONS... At no time has the developer contacted neiohbors to discuss his thouohts and perspective. Apparently they feel they should be allowed to develop their property as they see fit to do so! The fact that the didn't do their homework prior to purchase of the property doesn mean we ave o surren er our home values to their ineptitude. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FESRUARY 24, 1982 PAGE 5 WE UESTION THEIR REAL INTENT... Are they seeking R-2 zoning knowing our neig or oo wi o �ec . Do they intend to then "compromise" for R-1 with alot of vartances attached? Having someone propose specific construction of a planned development is one thing. Naving soineone seek a change in zoning so they can sell individual lots to individual builders, is an entirely different risk. In summary, WE REQUEST AND DEMAND THAT THE REQUEST FOR R-2 ZONING BE DENIED to PRESERVE OUR EIGHBORHOOD, MAINTAIN OUR PROPERTY UALUES, AND ASSURE THE SAFETY OF UR C iL�TFE� �' V • / Mr. Bill Zurbey, 145 Sylvan Lane, stated he has lived in this neighborhood for 19 years.
