MOTION BY MR. SRBA� SECONDED BY MR. KONDRICK� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON
SP N82-01 BY JOSEPH PEROZZI.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTZNG AYE� VICE-CHAIRPERSON OQUIST DECIJIRED THE PUELIC
HEARING OPEN AT 7:38 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated Mr, Perozzi had applied for a special use permit in 1979, It
was heard by both the Planning Commission and City Council, and the City Council
approved that specia7 use permit in 1979. The dwelling was not constructed within
one year, and since no extension was applied for, the special use permit had expired.
At this point in time; Mr. Perozzi is submitting a new special use permit for the
construction of a building.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 24, i982 PA6E 2
Mr, Boardman stated that in 1974, Mr. Perozzi went to the Appeals Commission,
and the Appeats Commission granted a variance for lot size, but did not grant him
a variance on the side yard setback, based on the building that was being proposed
to be constructed on the site. Mr. Boardman stated that at the Appeais Commission
meeting on March 16, 7982, the Appeals Commission again recommended approval on the
lot size, but this time there is a different building design that does not require
the side yard setback, Otherwise, all the things are essentially the same as
described in T979, including the drainage and elevation requirements, and those
things were agreeable in 1979.
Mr. Boardman stated Staff has no problems with the approval of this special use
permit.
Ms. van Dan asked if the bui]ding was going to be built on the lot as it is now or
if the lot was going to be elevated.
Mr. Perozzi stated fil7 will be brought in to meet the elevation requirements,
Mr, Kondrick asked if it was Mr. Perozzi's intent to build his house on the same
level as the surrounding homes.
Mr. Perbzzi stated, yes, that was his intent,
Mr. Boardman stated that with any construction, they have to meet all the require-
ments as far as sewer traps and those kinds of things. 7he City's main concern is
the drainage and making sure the lot is graded so the water drains out to the street
to the catch basin,
Mr. R. H. Klingbeil, 8199 Riverview Terrace, stated he lives right next door, and
Mr. Perozzi is running very close to the grade on his property. He did not believe
there was a contractor in the City of Minneapolis that could hold a grade like that.
He would like to know who is going to check this to make sure the water does not
dratn into the other properties. He stated that Mr. Perozzi's buildinq is so high,
it is going to block the sun, and it will be the highest house in a block that is
mostly ramblers.
Mr. Donald Schneppmueller, 8151 Riverview Terrace N.E., stated he lives on the
south side of this lot. He stated Riverview Terrace goes up from the Creek. Once
Mr, Perozzi raises his lot level with Mr. Schneppmueller's, his driveway wi11 be
constantly flooded. He stated they have gotten a petition signed by people in the
neighborhood. He submitted this petition to the Planning Comnission, along with
pictures of his lot and Mr. Perozzi's lot.
MOSION 8Y MR, SABA� SECONDED BY MS. GABEL� TO RECEIVE THE PETITION AGAINST THE
BUILDING OF A DWELL£NG ON LOTS 28 AND 29� BLOCK R, RIVERVZEW HEIGHTS.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 24, 7982 PAGE 3
Mr. Oquist read the petition into the record:
"This is a petition against the building of a dwelling on Lots 28 and 29,
Block R, Riverview Heights, in CPR Zoning, Ftood Plain, the same being
8181 Riverview Terrace N.E. The dwelling would be built on e 50 ft. lot
between two existing homes which would be a first on Riverview Terrace.
This type of building would create crowding and would open the door for
other such buildings in our area. We are sure this type of building would
not be allowed next to $100-200,000 homes."
UPQN A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� VICE-CHRIRPERSON OQUZST DECLARED TXE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMDUSLY.
The Planning Conxnission members reviewed the drainage plan which showed the water
draining out to the street.
Mr. Boardman stated that on agenda page 20 (City Council minutes, June 4, 1979),
the City Council made a motion "to grant specia7 use permit SP #79-04, with the
siipulation that the City be satisfied that the drainage plan, as described and
discussed, would be maintained in construction". At that time, Mr. Herrick, City
Attorney, had stated that, "as far as drainage, the standard rule in Minnesota is
that an owner may develop his property in a reasonable fashion, as long as it
doesn't unnecessarily burden the neighbor" and "he doesn't have nearly as much
trouble with the concept of saying he can 6uild, but has to insure drainage, as
with the problem of saying he cannot build on this lot because it has to be used
for drarnage".
Mr. Boardman stated that right now this lot is being used for drainage, and that
is not what a lot should be used for. Any owner of a piece nf property has the
right to develop that property as long as it doesn't unnecessarily burden the
neighbor. He stated the City Engineers have reviewed the drainage plan, and they
feel the plan is adequate for taking the water out of the property without causing
undue hardship on the neighbors.
Ms. Doris Schneppmueller questioned whether it meant anything that all the
neighbors were against this building. She stated all the neighbors are very
upset about it, and that is why they submitted the petition.
Mr. Saba asked how much higher Mr. Perozzi's house would be than the rest of the
neighborhood,
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Perozzi's house height would be about 24 feet. Most
rarnblers are about 15 feet in height. Under R-1 zoning, the City allows a
maximum height of 30 feet.
Mr. Klingbeil stated that if this building is built, the City Inspector should
be sure he checks those grades.

2. RECEIVE MARCH 3, i982, ENERGY COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION BY MR. SABA� SECONDED BY MR. KONDRICK� TO RECEIVE THE MRRCX 3� 2982� ENERGY
COMMISSIDN MINUTES. -
Mr. Saba stated there has been a major revision made to the Housing Maintenance
Code for rentai property. At the last Energy Commission meeting on March 23, the
Commission commended Staff for putting things together. Basically the energy
regulations are adopted out of the State Energy Agency's Code, requiring a 5-year
payback, improvements to be made immediately, with a l�-year payback to be made
by July 1, 1983. If enforced properly, this revision should dramatically contribute
to the energy efficiency of rental property in the City. It is a major step, and
they hope it does what it is supposed to do. He stated there is a pretty heavy
penalty for non-compliance,
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� VZCE-CHAIIZPERSON OQUIST D&CLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Saba stated the Commission had also made a motion to support the Environmental
Quality Commission's efforts in recycling and recommended that the energy conserva-
tion aspect of recycling be emphasized as well as the cleaning up of the environment.
If the Environmental Quality Commission would 7ike to meet jointly with the Energy
Commission, they would be happy to meet with them.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCN 24, ]982 PAGE 5
Ms, van Dan stated the Accessibility Survey Project Committee has already had two
meetings, and the proposed survey of the community's buildings (about 170) is
already underway. They are very fortunate in that Julie Quarve-Peterson, who
works with the National Nousing Institute, recently moved to Fridley, and she is
helping the Commission develop a very basic accessibility survey form.
Ms. van Dan stated that on Tuesday, March 23, there was a presentation by the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts at the Fridley Library. It was very well attended.
Ms, van 6an stated the No-Fault Grievance Procedure training session will be on
Saturday, April 24. Coon Rapids, and possibly some other communities,will be
joining the Human Resources Comnission. The session will involve teaching them
what the No-Fault Grievance Procedure actually entails, and then the Commission
will go from there as to whether they want to pursue it.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON OQUIST DECLARED THE MOTSON
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Boardman stated he has heard nothing but excellent reports about the Accessi-
bility Survey Project Committee. The people who are involved in the committee
are excellent people. They have detailed plans and a timetable set, and it is
exciting to see something 7ike this happening.

6. DISCUSSION O�i CENTER C1TY REZONING:
Mr. Boardman stated a public hearing has been set for the April 7 Planning
Commission meeting for Center City rezoning.
Mr. Boardman stated they are looking at developing a clinic and office building
with a plaza court outside City Hall and the relocation of 64th Ave. He stated
one of the problems they have in Center City is a mishmash of zoning. So, they
are looking at trying to handle the Center City zoning with a specia7 district.
A special district is similar to a PUD (Planned Unit Development)-type of zone
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 24, 1982 PAGE 6
where it is zoned by p]an. The Planning Commission and the City Council would
review the plan and approve the plan. Then, when something is built, it is built
by plan, and they avoid variances that have to go through the appeals process.
Mr. Boardman stated they wi71 be looking at doing things in the Center City area
that they would not necessarily do on a normal-sized lot. They are trying to
build the density, 6uild the quality, build a character within the district, and
they feel it is much better and much easier to do by plan than it is by zone.
Mr. Boerdman stated that at this point in time, as far as the property that will
be rezoned to an S-2 District, they are looking at a77 the property from 63rd Ave.
up to Mississippi, and would not get involved in any of the other properties at
this time.
Mr. Boardman stated notices have been sent to all the peop]e within 350 ft, of
this area, and they have discussed it with the property owners in the area.

CARRZED UNANIMOUSLY,
I. CENTER CITY PROJECT
A. Phase III - Development Selection
Mr. Boardman stated three development teams were at the meeting to give
presentations. Each development team was being given one-half hour for
the presentation and to answer questions from the HRA.
1. American Redevelopers, Inc.(7:00 - 7:30)
Mr. Orrin Ericson stated he is the President of American Redevelopers,
Inc. He introduced Paul Pink, his architect, and three other
gentlemen from the office who are in leasing and management,
�im Peterson, Scott Ericson, and Tom Quosius. He stated they would
like to show what they have done, what they are doing, and what they
are interested in. He stated Mr. Pink would show slides of a
redevelopment project they did in Mankato, Minnesota, along with
some other redevelopments they have worked with.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMEN7 AU7HORITY MEETING, MARCH 11, 1982 ?AGE 2
Mr. Pink stated the Mankato redevelopment was a downtown redevelop-
_ ment and was completed in 1978. It consisted of malling over the
downtown area to the extent that all of the main street became a
mall. There were 17 existing tenants, and they brought in 60 new
tenants.
Mr. Pink stated that Barclay Square is a fashion mail tfiey will
begin construction on in Rochester, Minnesota, in July 1982. They
anticipate completion by July 1983. Ne stated it is a two-level
high fashion mall. It has a split level parking lot so that the
lower lot goes into the first floor, and the upper lot goes into
the second level. The mall will contain about 120,000 sq. ft. of
fine shops and restaurants.
Mr. Pink stated the largest project they are working on is a
$100,000 project in New York City. They have been working on it
for about three years. It is a four-level maii and nine-story
office tower. Construction wili probably begin about one year
from now.
Mr. Pink stated this was just a brief hackground and scale of the
work they do. He stated he has been the architect for Hoily Shopping
Center and Rice Plaza and what was the Fridley Hardware Store, He
has been the architect on those parcels for the last 18 years, so he
is familiar with the problems in the area, the draihage, traffic,
and the other problems--both architecturally and engineering-wise.
If they are selected as the architects and developers, it wi11 just
be a continuation of an 18-year history in the same area.
Mr, Ericson stated Fridley has a population of 30,000 people
spread over a two-mile radius, and he felt those people are sorely
lacking in good quality stores put into one area. He thought if
they put something here with quality, whether one-story or two-story,
the City would be surprised and pleased at the number of tenants who
would come in. He stated they felt all three corners could stand
some rehabilitation, and they are prepared to do and submit various
plans on a periodic basis until they arrive at one that is agreeable
to everyone. They have already talked to a number of tenants, and
they know they can 9et it pretty well leased, but it has to be done
very professionally in order to let the people know there is going
to be something with substance instead of just a bunch of stores.
Mr. Ericson stated the first sma]7 enclosed center they did was
in Willmar, Minnesota, and that turned out very well. He stated
they are proposing a 100,000 sq, ft, shopping center and 40,000 sq. ft.
entertainment/office on Fridley's site. He stated he has some
ideas for making the best use of the Holly area where they would
eliminate all the old buildings and put in multiples and/or offices.
He stated if they are selected, they could present some projections
on that.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETIN6, MARCH 11, 1982 PAGE 3
Mr. Prairie asked if t4r. Ericson saw financing or interest rates
" as a problem.
Mr. Ericson stated they are a problem, but they see a light at the
end of the tunnel. Just recently they have been talked to by a
couple of pension funds, as well as small insurance companies, who
are interested in coming into these kind of situations. If the
interest rates don't come down, they would se11 the project to an
instituti0n, either a pension fund or insurance company, so they
could get the job done. They would be prepared to come in with
some good plans and explain how long it would take to do the job.
If they are not able to do it. they will be honest and tell the
City that. He stated they believe in quality in their projects.
Mr. Prieditis asked Mr. Ericson what the time period would be to
get lease commitments.
Mr. Ericson stated it would take six months and then about another
six months to start construction. He would estimate about lZ-2 yrs.
from now until everything was completed.
Mr. Prieditis asked what Mr. Ericson visualized as the major tenants.
Mr. Ericson stated he would like to see the area anchored by a good
drugstore, good market, a junior department store, a hardware store,
and some children's and ladies' ready-to-wear stores.
Mr. Boardman stated he has briefly discussed with Mr. Ericson the
limitations that the HRA has in assisting with the project. Knowing
these limitations, was American Redevelopers still interested in the
project?
Mr. Ericson stated they know what the limitations are with state
and local governments, and they would have to work within those
confines. He stated they are very interested in the projeci.
Mr. Houck thanked Mr. Ericson and Mr. Pink for their presentation.
2. Nolmen Development Company (7:30 - 8:OD)
Mr. Holmen stated he had brought with him Pat Hallisey, Uice President
in charge of Leasing, and Duane Nelson, their director of construction
on shopping centers. He stated they are a small company, and he
would leave a brochure that outlined some of their capabilities,
some projects they have done, and some references.
Mr. Holmen stated Holmen Development Co. was formed in 1975 to
develop, lease, manage, and own shopping centers. Since that time,
they have developed a 260,000 sq. ft. cenier in Watertown, S.D.
Major tenants are J.C. Penney, K-Mart, and Herberger's Dept. Store.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTNORITY MEETING, MARCH 11, 1982 PAGE 4
Mr. Holmen stated that within the past year, they have built and
opened an enclosed shopping center in Beaver Dam, Wisc. Major tenants
are J. C, Penney, F. W. Woolworth and Woolco Store, Herberger's,
and approx. 100,000 sq. ft, of smail shops, They are presently
under development for a center of about the same size in Williston,
N.D.
Mr. Holmen stated their method of operating to date has not been to
operate in larger metropolitan areas. They have generally been
operating in the mid-western cities in North & South Dakota, Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and they build shopping centers that range in
size from 100,000 sq. ft. to 350-400,000 sq. ft. They are presently
involved in the development of a major downtown mall in Mason City,
Iowa. In that development, they have a joint venture agreement with
the center companies, which were formerly Dayton-Hudson Properties.
With that same company, they are developing a major mall in Dekalb,
I11., and the center companies have joined them in that particular
endeavor.
Mr. Holmen stated they are also working on several downtown redevelop-
ment projects, including one major redevelopment in Walla Walla,
Washington, In addition to suburban malls, they made the decision
to include in their concentration several urban redevelopment and
downtown projects.
Mr. Holmen stated his personal experience in the shopping center
development field goes back to T964 when he came from Texaco, Inc.,
as a Division Reai Estate Agent and joined a company called Crossroads
Centers, which was a successful company that developed centers,
ranging in size from 110,000 to 750,000 sq. ft. Following that, he
joined Watson Construction Co. as head of their deveTopment team.
He worked with them for several years and developed more centers in
the Midwest. Then, in 1975,they founded their own company.
Mr. Holmen stated they will not have a slide presentation, but he
can tell the NRA that they do have substantial experience in
deveToping shopping centers. They have a very capab]e leasing staff,
and they are quite capab7e and have considerable knowledge and
experience in construction. Duane Nelson has been with some of the
largest builders in the Twin Cities area, and he has had substantial
experience in shoppin9 centers and commercial buildings, free standing
buildings, ski lodges, etc. For the project here in Fridley, they
would bring in an additional equity partner, because they feel this
project is going to need a substantial equity partner in order to
beceme a successful development. They have interested equity
partners who join them in these ventures, He stated their contractor
would be a strong and experienced general contractor in the Twin
Cities, and they have two they would like to choose from.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH 11, 1982 PAGE 5
Mr. Holmen stated he has fiad several conversations with Mr. Boardman
- about the project here in fridley, and they have prepared several
approaches to this project. One approach he really liked and felt
would be very interesting but may not be too workable or realistic,
is the relocation of Mississippi St. He stated it would be most
interesting if they could pull the proposed entertainment center
on the east side of University into the project and meld that with
the retail portion that is proposed for the west side of llniversity
and include a rather nice enclosed mall at that time so they would
have a project that woul� more incorporate and bring functions
together. Again, he did not know if that was practical or feasib7e.
Mr. Holmen stated it was their understanding that the City wanted an
enclosed mall shopping center on the proposed site. Their feelings
at this iime is that it would not be practical. They think an
enclosed sidewalk might be more practical, and their second approach
would include using the existing hardware store {probably using it
as a hardware store) and bend an enclosed sidewalk center around in
a rather interesting fashion and include three major tenants in the
mall. The major tenants would be a hardware store, supermarket,
and drugstore, together with a restaurant, and some interesting mall
shops, most generally focused toward the service type of shopping
center. He thought if they were looking for an enclosed �ype mall
center in this location, they would be disappointed, given the
restrictions on the property.
Mr. Holmen stated they have several layouts they have worked on and
would like the opportunity to show what they can do on the site,
7hey do know the problems on site and with the tenants. He felt they
were practical enough to know what can be built on the site and would
like the opportunity to do that.
Mr, Prairie asked how many centers Holmen Development Co. has started
or gotten off the ground in the last 2-2z years.
Mr, Holmen stated there was just one major one, but there are many
in the development process. He invited any of the HRA members to
visit their latest center in Beaver Dam, Wisc., in order to see the
type of work they do,
Mr. Houck thanked Mr.Nolmen for his presentation.
Jim Vassar {Barthel Construction) (8:00 - 8:30)
Mr. Dean �oyscher stated it has always been his feeling that there
were some local people involved in the previous project who showed
good faith. The limited partnership that was put together did
involve local people, and he had told Ken Barthel of Barthel Con-
struction that it would be important to keep that partnership
together. That has, in fact, happened.
HOUSING & REDEVELOAMEN7 AUTHORITY MEETING MARCH 11 1982 PAGE 6
Mr. Vassar stated Dr. Suh, Ron 5hoeneman, and Dave Fuerstenberg are
_ those interested peop]e. He stated he has been trying to help
formulate a team that can work together and get something done. He
stated he thought they now had a good action group.
Mr. Doyscher stated a lot of people had come with them to the
meeting, but the important thing is that every one of these people
has a skill level that needs to be involved all the way through
this process. Ne stated one of the things a development team with
an effort of this size needs is to coordinate these efforts with the
City. There are going to be relocation schedu7es and acquisition
schedules on the part of the City. Those schedu]es mast be coordinated
with the developer, and he will act as coordinator between
the developer and the City.
Mr. Doyscher introduced �ick Larsen and Marlin Nutchinson, who are
both architects.
Mr. Hutchinson stated they had a preTiminary drawing that was put
together without a great deal of input from the HRA or the community.
They intend to refine it and make it suitable. He stated Mr. Larsen
is a long term architect with a lot of experience in shopping centers.
He is presently an HRA member in the City of Minnetanka and a former
City Council member, so he is well versed in governmental action.
He asked Mr. Larsen to explain the pr�iiminary drawing.
Mr. Larsen stated this is just a concept plan for the development of
a small mall shopping center, He understood the site is approx.
8.7 acres, and they did not include the Burger King property. They
felt they could develop about 86,000 sq. ft: of new retail space.
He stated they picked up on some of the features from the previous
plan that Jim Vassar's group had worked on. He stated all the shops
will work off the interior mall with the exception of a proposed
restaurant on the corner. He stated that as far as landscaping, they
7ike to design shopping centers with some of the green area up around
the building. Typically, especially with smaller centers, all the
]andscaping is out at the street where it looks nice, but no one
can really use it, and the rest is paved right up to the front door.
He stated they have done a couple of centers where they have reversed
that and put a majority of the greenery around the building. It
really gives a different kind of atmosphere and different feeling.
Mr. Nutchinson stated they have indicated a larger open space in
the center of the mall where some community-type activities can take
place.
Mr. Larsen stated there are 86,000 sq. ft. of leaseable area. The
malls are about 9,200 sq. ft. for a total of appox. 95,000 sq. ft.
which does include the free-standing restaurant. They have 431 parking
spaces which works o�t to a parking ratio of 5 cars per 1,000 sq. ft.
of gross Teaseable area.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH I1, 1982_ PAGE 7
Mr. Hutchinson introduced Laura Manske, who is with Barthel
Construction, and is mainly concerned with leasing and lease
negotiations. He stated she is also an attorney.
Ms. Manske stated she is actively working in-house with Barthel
in the leasing department. She has been very active in the leasing
field and feels most confident they can put together a leasing
package for this project. She would like to describe one of the
shopping center projects they have going at this time in Elk River.
The reason she wanted to describe it was because it does have a lot
of similarities to Fridley. (1) They are approximate�y the same
size; (2) it is a project that others have tried to develop in the
past, but have never gotten off the ground. Barthel now has it off
the ground and well on the way to putting it together; (3) a lot
of the tenants they have been dealing with in E1k River are the
same tenants that have been proposed for Fridley.
Ms. Manske stated that although it may seem premature, she has been
talking to the anchor tenants in the E7k River shopping center about
the Fridley project and has gotten a mutual agreement that future
talk may be in order, assuming they get the development rights to
the Fridley project.
Ms. Manske introduced Ken Barthel, President of Barthel Construction.
Mr. Barthel stated that in the past year, they have completed
projects totalling approximately $17 million. These projects con-
sisted of shopping centers, office warehouses, restaurants, etc.
Mr. Barthel introduced Jerome Hertel of Juran
done some other projects with them, and who is
the financing portion ot it.
Moody, who has
very familiar with
Mr. Hertel stated Juran & Moody has done some projects in the City
of Fridley. He stated they have given the HRA a brochure which
outlines the activities they have been involved with. They have
worked with Mr. Barthel for a couple of years in putting together
financing for some of the commercial projects he has developed.
They are very familiar with financing shopping centers, as well as
free-standing retail centers. They are involved with the Elk River
project. He stated it is their intention at some point in time to
approach the City of Fridley and request tax exempt financing for
this project and to work with Mr. Barthel and the rest of the group
in completing that financing.
Mr. Barthel introduced Bob Zeller from M. A. Mortenson & Co.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH 11 1982 PAGE 9
Mr. Boardman stated the HRA sets timetables primarily for performance.
If at some time, the developer has been making adequate performance,
there is the possibility of an extension, The HRA will be looking
. at performance, and extensions will be based on performance.
Mr. Houck thanked everyone representing Barthel Construction for
coming and making their presentation,
(Mr. Houck declared a ten-minute recess at 8:40 p.m.)
Mr. Boardman stated he would like the HRA to take some action tonight in
selecting a developer. He would also like them to rank the development
teams or put them in some kind of priority so that in 30 days if the
HRA feels the #1 development team's drawings are not adequate, they can
go to the next development team.
Mr. Boardman stated the NRA members had a"Reference Review" report
included in their agenda which outlined the findings he had gotten about
the different development teams from talking to outside people.
Mr. Prieditis stated he liked to see the local people involved, and most
of the locals are involved with the Barthel group. As far as the design
potential, it really depends upon the monies the group has and how
successful they are in getting tenants in. He thought American Redevelopers
had the most impressive looking project and the best feel, but he did
not think they should go just by that. The most impressive group for
imagination and excitement was the Barthel group, and maybe that group
is in the position to do a more successful project. He stated Mr. Holmen
was very realistic and seemed to know what he was talking about.
Mr. Prairie stated he thought it was just too difficult to make a
decision on a developer based on a one-half hour presentation. There is
just not enough information to go on.
Mr. Boardman stated the main thing the HRA has to look at is that,
realistically, each of these development teams is going to do approximately
the same job, in the sense that all of them are talking about 80-90,000 sq.
ft, of commercial/retail. He did not think the City would get involved
in the relocation of Mississippi St, or with the purchase of Holly Center,
because of the expense involved. It is a matter of which developer's
presentation gave the HRA a comfortable feeling about their ability to
produce.
Mr. Prairie stated that Mr. Holmen may be the most practica7 of all the
developers.
Ms. Svendsen stated that, after their first experience witn �nr, rceisauen,
she was very concerned about the level of commitment on the part of the
develo er to get the project done. She felt the Barthel group had perhaps
P
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING MARCH 11, 1982 PAGE 10
a little edge on that because they have so many iocal people involved,
_ putting in their own money, and some of whom wi11 be tenants in the
project. She also thought maybe they need to take a little more time
to do more investigating.
Mr. Prairie asked if they coutd ask each of the developers to present
something more detailed within a month.
Mr, Prieditis stated a sketch of the project does not take too long to
put together, and it would give the HRA an indication of each developer's
interest.
Mr. Boardman stated he had no problem with that if it wouTd help the
HRA make a decision. If they do that, then he would ask Watson Centers
if they could make a presentation at that time also. They were unable
to come to this meeting.
The HRA members agreed they would like each developer to present some
type of concept drawing in a proposal to the HRA. They asked Mr. Boardman
to send a letter to each developer requesting that each developer submit.
some conceptual plans and any other meaninaful information at a
special meeting on Thursday, April Y, at 7;30. The HRA will make
a decision on a developer at that meeting.

2, Update on Telephone Building (Memo No. 82-?4 from Executive Director)
Mr. Boardman stated that after writing this memo, he has discussed
acquisition of the telephone building with Mr. Wyeth, owner of
the property. Mr. Wyeth is not interested in selling and is firm
at $275,OD0. There is no room for acquisition. Mr. Boardman stated
Mr. Wyeth wil) be going into a contract with Northwestern Bell,
The contract they are looking at is $16,000/yr. It is a five-year
contract with two 5-year options.
Mr. Prairie asked what happens one year from now if the HRA does
not buy the property. Is there any kind of a time problem?
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH 11, 1982 PAGE 11
Mr. Boardman stated it was hard to say. If they get construction
underway with the clinic and an office building, they may be able
to put in another project relatively quickly. If they did acquire
the telephone building, they would try to enter into a year lease
agreement with Northwestern Bell. He did not feel anything would
happen for at least a year.
Mr. Haggerty stated Mr. Wyeth has built a number of office/warehouses
in recent years in Blaine, so he is very cognizant af the cost of
building a building like that. Ne is looking at what it would
cost to replace the building. From that perspective, Mr. Wyeth
feels $275,000, considering the location and the tenant, is a very
reasonable offer.
Mr. Boardman stated the fact is that Mr. Wyeth is a willing seller
at $275,000. The lease is up with Northwestern Seil, and it looks
positive to release with the telephone company. The question is:
Does the HRA want to purchase at this time or delay? The HRA has
the money to purchase, they have the opportunity to lease the
building, and he felt it will just cost more money if they wait and
have to go into acquisition and condemnation.
Mr. Prieditis stated that because the owner of the property is not
willing to negotiate and because he did not think the NRA should
set a precedent of not having negotiations to arrive at a reasonable
price, he would recommend they not acquire this property at this time,

Ms. Svendsen asked if there was any way the lease could be set up

see if there was any way Mr. Wyeth could put in a stipulation that
if the property is condemned by the City, he has no obligations and
all options are terminated.

Mr. Boardman stated he was trying to get a fattnalized.,commitment on
financing from Juran & Moody, and this really was not that firm a
cor�nitment, because there are still some conditions. He stated
Mr. Haggerty has talked to Tim Signore7li, and Mr. Signorelli is
pushing Juran & Moody.
Mr. Boardman stated that based on the conditions that have come up
with Mr. Haggerty and the building he is proposing (Item I-D),
he would like to get some appraisals at this time on the properties so
the City is in the position to start acquisition as soon as possible.
Juran & Moody are saying they can commit to a financing, but they
cannot commit to a percentage, So, they would recommend the HRA take
an option on the property until they get the financing put together.
Mr, Boardman stated he did not think the HRA wanted to get involved
in that kind of thing, but he thought they should get the appraisais
and start moving toward acquisition.

1.. 30,000 sq. ft. Office Building (Memo No. 82-18 from Executive Director)
Mr. Boardman stated that Mark Haggerty has presented a letter to
the NRA. He asked Mr, Haggerty to review the letter with the HRA.
Mr. Ha§gerty stated that he had lunch with Mr. Chuck Michae7son
of Owens, Ayers Company on Monday, March 8. They discovered they
hot a lot of ideas in common. He stated he knew the building next
to his law firm will'be coming down, and they had to make some
decisions about relocating. On Friday, he had gone to market with
an 9ndustrial revenue bond and discovered the market is turning
around tremendously, Ne stated Owens, Ayers is a]so looking for an
office building. Since his law firm has the financing and the
financial strength and Owens, Ayers has the financial strength and
tenants, he and Mr. Michaelson mutualTy agreed to build the building
at lunch on Monday.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH 11, 1982 PAGE 13
Mr. Haggerty stated that since Monday, they have come up with the
- equity, so they now have the financing and the equity. They are
proposing to buy 20,000 sq. ft. from the City for $2/sq. ft. and
they would ask that the City defer the payments over a period of
time. The other thing would be to have the City build the parking
lot that is partial7y the City's and theirs, and ihe cost estimate
for landscaping and the parking lot would 6e $104,0�0. He
would ask that they be allowed to go on a long term lease paying
$1,OOOJmonth, which would be a fully amortized 30-year mortgage at
11% for $104,000. Then, on the 31st year, they would buy the parking
1ot for $1.
Mr. Haggerty stated the maximum bond they can get for this building
is $1,250,000 because of the rents. They were $500,000 short, so they
have to come up with $500,000 in cash. Owens, Ayers has agreed to
put in about 75% of that. Owens, Ayers would build the building,
put in their profits, do the architectural and engineering, and that
would roughly equal 75%. The law firm would do the legal work, plus
put in the cash difference, which would give them approximate]y 25%
ownership. That is how they arrived at the ownership.
Mr. Haggerty stated the reason he requested this be on the agenda
tonight is because they need to find out if they can actually sell
bonds with a firm commitment from the City saying 64th Ave. would
be vacated and this land would be purchased, He stated he would
like to issue bonds in the first week of April. 7hen he would know
they would have 100� financing with their equity and would definitely
be able to construct in May.
Mr. Haggerty stated they will work with the Columbia Park Clinic's
architects so their building and the Clinic's building will be built
in tandem and constructed so they are aesthetically compatible.
Mr. Haggerty stated the building will have 24,000 sq, ft, of rentab7e
space. Smith, Juster, Feikema will rent 2,000 sq. ft. and Owens,
Ayers will have 5,000 sq. ft. They wo�ld master lease the rest of
the building.
Mr. Boardman stated that if the City knows the financing is there,
they would like ta put this into their street project, which is
going to be let out for bids in April. 7hey will get a better price
that way.
Mr. Haggerty stated all they need from the City is a commitment that
would allow them to build the building basica7ly the way it is
proposed as far as the layout of the parking. The HRA would still
have a say in what the building looks like and the type of land-
scaping. They are basically going to match it to the Columbia Park
Clinic building.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORI7Y MEETING, MARCN 11, 1982 PAGE 14
Mr, Boardman stated the HRA should consider that it is not only a
- right to proceed, but a right to proceed with the conditions that
are laid out. He did not think the HRA was in any position at this
meeting to take that action. He stated he would want to have
contract documents drawn up so contract documents can be entered
into prior to the time Mr. Haggerty goes for a sale of bonds. He
thought that cou7d be done relatively quickly.
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Haggerty is concerned about the
foilowing three issues:
1. $2/sq. ft. for 20,000 sq. ft. of 7and under the building,
delay the purchase price on that for maybe four years
with interest starting at the faurth year.
2. Parking lease at 11.25% interest at $1,000/month, starting
one year after they pull the buiTding permit,
3. A firm commitment from the City that the City acquire the
road and the private property so they can obtain good title.
Mr. Prairie stated he thought they should move ahead with this. He
saw a lot of pluses and no minuses.
Mr. Prieditis stated he agreed.
The HRA set a special meeting for Wed., March 24, at 5:30 p.m.,
at which time they wouTd have the development contracts from
Mr. Haggerty for approval. Mr. Haggerty could then take the
necessary action for the sale of bonds.
Mr, Boardman stated he and Mr. Haggerty will sit down and get all
the documents set up so they can enter into contract documents at
the March 24th meeting. It is his understanding that the HRA feels
these conditions are acceptable conditions if the figures work out.
Ne stated that, so far, everything looks good.

IT. MOORE LAKE PROJECT
A. Phase I
1. Update from Cheryl Nybo on Office Project
Mr. Boardman stated they do have documents from Cheryl Nybo from
Eberhardt for the financing commitment. At this time, Ms. Nybo
has not signed those commitment documents. One of the reasons is
she is looking at a7ternative forms of financing to get the best
rate. The market is starting to come down, and she is looking at
the possibility of conventional financing, rather than industrial
revenue bonds.
Ms. Nybo stated she is looking at the industrial revenue 6onds and
trying to firm up a commitment on that from the legal aspect. She
is also taking steps to look at the conventional market. The market
seems to be trending down a little, and she would like some time to
look at it. She is asking for an extension of 60-90 days.
Mr. Soardman stated Mr. Ted Burandt is in the audience. Mr. Burandt
is the owner of this property, and he is interested in selling the
property. At this point in time, the HRA has not commited to buy
the property because they do not have a formal commitment on
financing. He stated one of his suggestions has been that the HRA
go ahead and get an appraisal on the property, negotiate a value
with Mr. Burandt, and set up an option arrangemeni on the property
for option to p�rchase. The HRA would be protected on that option
price by Ms. Nybo. Within that period of time as set up on the
option, if Ms. Nybo does not pick up the financing that is needed,
she has two alternatives: (1) either fulfilling the option on the
property and buying the property herself; or, (2) losing the option.
Mr. Boardman stated it was his understanding that this would be
acceptable to Mr. Burandt.
Mr. Burandt stated that was acceptable as long as they can get
something worked out. He stated he is getting tired of getting
dragged along. He can emphasize his position on his side, but he
could also understa�3d Ms. Nybo's position, but Ms. Nybo's side
doesn't cost money and his does. He stated that if they can get
this worked out within 30 days, and then Ms. Nybo has a 60-day
option, he wouid have no problem with that. 8ut, he would want
to have the option worked out within those 30 days. He did not want
it to go any langer than that.

III. NORTH AREA PROJECT
ELO En�ineering Proposal
Mr. Benson stated he and Mr. Sackrison were at the Feb, 17 HRA meeting
with this proposal. Mr. Owczarzak has a purchase agreement on a 6.9
acre lot on the corner of 8)st and Main St. Mr, Owczarzak's company is
currently located on Rancher's Road and has approx. 26,000 sq. ft. of
industrial. He is proposing to build a 70,000 + sq, ft, manufacturing
plant on the new site employing up to 85 people.
Mr. Benson stated they looked at quite a few sites in Fridley and kept
encountering soil problems. They are now approaching the HRA for
some assistance for ELO in soil correction so Mr. Owczarzak can build
the new facility. Mr. Owczarzak is at the meeting to ans�er any
questions the HRA may have.
Mr. Benson stated that since the last meeting, they have been able to
take a much closer look at the soil borings, and they now feel fairly
comfortable with a cost of $174,100 for just soil correction. That
figure does not include the normal excavation.
Mr. Soardman stated he has ta7ked to the bond people and the situation
is that with the construction of ELO Engineering, they wou7d be ab7e
to seil a bond issue of $200,OQ0, The problem with that is if they
sell a 6ond issue to do the soiT correction, because of the lag time
between time of sale until the property is paying fuli taxes, they have
a capitalized interest cost of $60,000. That leaves the City with
$140,OOD of usable money for the project. At this time, they could
tell Mr. Owczarzak that the City has up to $]40,OD0 for soil correction.
He thought Mr, Owczarzak is looking for some commitment from the HRA
that the NRA wi11 commit "x" amount of dollars for soil correction so
he can enter into contract documents for the purchase of the property.
After the HRA gives Mr. Owczarzak that assurance, then as part of the tax
increment district, the City would assist him in soil correction work.
During the period of time before construction, Mr. Boardman stated he
would like to Took into seeing if there was some way the City could
do the soil correction by assessment.

2. CDNTINUED: ENERGY ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Mr. Deblon stated the Commission had received copies of the energy bills for the
Civic Center and the Fire Dept, for the last 38 months, 1979 - Feb, 1982.
The Commissioners reviewed the billings.
Mr. Saba stated this was a good start on an energy accounting system, as they now
have some figures down on paper. He asked Mr. Deblon to get the energy figures
for the Bottle Shop also.
Mr. Saba stated the Economic Development Planning & Fnergy Agency is offering a
software package for community energy accounting. He asked Mr. Deblon to check
into this and report back at the next meeting.
3. ENERGY FINANCIN6:
Mr. Deblon stated two ways of financing energy improvements that are of issue right
now are bonding and loan financing.
Mr. Deblon stated he had included in the agenda packet some information on a home
improvement loan program through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
Mr, Saba stated that the problem with this program is it applies to �extremel _
lo�w in�come people. The �ross value of a person's assets must be no grea-- ter tTian
�
Mr. Deblon stated these )oans are availab]e right now through Marquette State Bank.
He stated if the City wants to facilitate this, they would first find out which
lending institutions are perticipating and which ones cannot participate and then
encourage people to look into the program.
Mr. Deblon stated another type of financing that might be available is the NSP/
Minnegasco utility loans. The prerequisite for qualification is an energy audit.
Mr. Saba stated he thought the NSP/Minnegasco utility loans were probably the
most workabie. He wished NSP and Minnegasco had enlarged their area beyond
Minneapolis and St. Paul. But, he stated they shou]d continue to look into all
the possibilities.
ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 23, 1982 PAGE 3
Mr. Deblon stated he would be interested in finding out how Marquette State Bank
is doing with their home improvement loans. He would check into this and report
back to the Commission. If the Caronission decides it is a good program, they can
encourage other banks to get involved in the program.
Mr. Saba stated this item should be continued at the next meeting.
4. STOP SIGN POLICY:
At the last meeting, Mr. McConville had volunteered to talk to a state senator
about what a City can do to change speed limits from 30 m.p.h, to 25 m.p.h, in
certain areas,and report back to the Commission. Mr. McConville stated he had
been unable to contact the senator, but would da sa and report back to the Commission.
Mr. Saba stated that with today's smaller vehicles, it seems there are some areas
that could be set aside in a city for reduced speed limits, especially around
schools and parks.
Mr. Deblon presented a map showing the locations of all existing stop signs in
the City of Fridley.
Mr. Saba stated tfiis item should be contined at the next meeting.

I. CENTER CITY PROJECT
A. Phase II - Office Building
Mr. Boardman stated that at the March llth meeting, the HRA received a
letter from Mark Haggerty dated March 10, 1982, that laid out some points
on the development of an office building. The way the office building
was laid out when they were working with Columbia Park Clinic was with
64th Ave, going straight through. They were going to do some kind of
development with an office building on the south side of 64th Ave. When
they actually started working with an office development to tie a package
together with the Clinic, they found it would be easier for both the
office and the Clinic to pull the office away from the Clinic a little and
separate them with a road system.
i
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH 24, 1982 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated the Clinic people are very concerned about not having
controlled parking. This way all the parking is controlled parking and
it is the Clinic's parking. Parking for the office building will be leased
from City Hall. At the present time, they have 50 parking stalls in the
City Hall space. Since the Court is moving out of City Hall, they do not
feel there is going to be a parking problem. They will have adequate
parking with 166 spaces for the office and City Hall.
Mr. Boardman stated that in Mr. Haggerty's letter, he talked about
purchasing the land under the building and leasing the parkin9 spaces
necessary for that building. It was set up with payments of $1,000/month
for leasing parking spaces and that would carry over 31 years. After 31
years, they had the option of buying the parking for $1.
Mr. Boardman stated that was not acceptable to the City, and after a
�egotiation session, they are now looking at $800/month for leasing parking
spaces and after the 31 years, there was an acquisition cost of $100,000
on the parking land.
Mr. Boardman stated that as far as the building, Mr. Haggerty is looking
at $2/sq. ft. for the property under the building (20,000 sq. ft.) for a
total purchase price of $40,000. They will delay any payment on that
purchase price for the first four years. After that, they will pay it off
in 10 years at 11 3/4% interest rate.
Mr. Boardman stated these terms are agreeable with City Staff at this time,
and they are now coming to the HRA with these terms. However, there are
some other conditions, and Mr. Qureshi, the City Manager, has been working
on this thing. He stated the NRA would not be owners of the property,
they would not want to own the parking; and, therefore, the lease arrange-
ment would not come back to the HRA. The question of whether the HRA is
going to purchase the land from the City and the HRA would get the lease
monies, or whether the lease monies would go directly to the City and the
City wou7d retain control of the property has not yet been worked out in
detail in the lease agreements,
Mr. Boardman stated that at this point, they have done the contract docu-
ment work, they have given all of it to Mark Haggerty to look over, and
maybe Mr. Haggerty could give the HRA more information from that point.
Mr. Haggerty stated they did not really want to finish the contract docu-
ments until they knew for sure where they were with the HRA. They have
no problems with the overall substance of the documents. It is just a
matter of "fine tuning" what is going to be done. Once they know it is a
viable project in terms of numbers, they can have those documents completed
and back to City Staff within a few days.
Mr. Comners asked if the HRA was in any position to take any action at
this meeting without that information.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETIMG, MARCH 24, 1982 PAGE 3
Mr, Boardman stated that if the conditions of (1) the payment of the
property over the ten year period at 11 3/4% and (2) the lease of the
parking are acceptable conditions to the HRA, he thought Staff was in
the position where they can move ahead with the documenis, complete the
documents, and bring them back to the HRA. He stated he has looked at
the cash flow on the whole thing and that is ]ooking fairly good.
Mr. Boardman handed out a copy of a"Cash Flow Analysis - Phase II". He
stated Dick Ehlers, Ehlers & Associates, has done a quick run on the
bonding. They have a bonding capacity with the Clinic and the office
building of $l.l million. One thing that is very clear is that if the
Clinic doesn't go, the office will not go. So, they are trying to put
both projects together about the same time.
Mr, Commers stated that, knowing the office is contingent upon the Clinic,
he did not know how they could approve the office building without knowing
the final situation with the Clinic.
Mr. Boardman stated they expect a letter from Juran & Moody on financing
for the Clinic next week, and Mr. Haggerty is expecting a letter on his
financing commitment. These are just commitment letters for the financing.
Mr. Boardman stated he would like to get approval from the HRA to start
negotiations for purchase based on those commitment letters. He stated
there are several things they are working on. The Clinic will not be able
to sell bonds until they have actual control of the property, so Staff
would like to move as quickly as possible but still stay within the limits
acceptable to the Clinic peop7e and the office people.
Mr. Boardman stated that with the situation on the Clinic, they may have
to negotiate with Gus Doty as far as the purchase of a portion of his
property. He wou7d like to have the authorization from the HRA to get
appraisals on Mr. Doty's property. He stated he has talked with Mr. �oty,
and Mr. Doty is a willing seller, but Mr. Boardman stated he needs a price
with which to start negotiations. The other properties they need to
acquire are the properties to the east of the Fourth Right-of-Way, and
they have gotten appraisals on all of those properties.
Mr. Boardman stated that when the commitment letters come in, he wants the
authority to go ahead and start negotiating purchase prices. Otherwise,
he would have to wait until the April 8th HRA meeting. By that meeting,
he would like to be able to come back with the negotiated prices they
have worked on.
Mr. Commers stated he did not see a problem with whether they lease the
land from the City or whether they acquire the land from the City, it is
just that they need to get the final numbers in some kind of format so
they can review those numbers to see how it will work and how the overall
project will work. The cash flow helps, but they still need to see it in
terms of overall project, bond retirement, etc.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH 24 1982 PAGE 4
Mr. Boardman stated he will not know that until he gets the actual runs
on the bond retirement from Eh7ers & Associates, They are looking at
15-year bonds. Again, they are looking at all of the construction work,
the street relocation, the plaza, landscaping, as a street improvement
bond. That will be done as an assessment project. When they get into
the contract documents, they will have to negotiate with the property
owners on how they are going to break up those assessments.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Boar�nan to put a proposal together with that
information and get it to the HRA for their April 8th meeting.
Mr. Naggerty stated that at the last HRA meeting, he had stated he hoped
to go to market the first week in April, but now they are not going to
be able to do that. He stated he could live with the April 8th date,
but at that time, he would need a pretty firm commitment from the HRA in
order to proceed any further.
Mr. Commers stated the office building is still dependent upon what the
Clinic does, If the HRA is not in a position to have a commitment from
the Clinic, he did not see how they could make a commitment to Mr. Haggerty.
Mr. Haggerty stated maybe the best thing for him to do in the meantime is
to assist the Columbia Park Properties in making their decision,
Mr. Haggerty stated one thing he has discussed with Mr. Boardman is that
if they would ever want to expand their office building, they would like
to have the option to buy, sooner than 30 years, a portion of land that
would be in the form of a lot, and actually have their northerly boundary
be a"zero" lot line, so they could expand without having to get some
kind of mortgage lease from the bond holders. That was the only major
consideration; otherwise, everything else was the same as in his first
proposal.
Mr. Commers asked what Staff's position was on this option.
Mr. Boardman stated the City is not ready to give that kind of option.
They can look at it at some point in time, but the City would like the
option to relocate then in another area.
Mr. Haggerty stated the only thing he would ask in that regard is that
when the City goes to plat this area, they be cognizant of the fact that
maybe there sh0uld just be a lot there or something that would save every-
one if the City did decide the office building could expand. That would be
a feasible alternative to them, because then they would know the expansion
was sti71 a possibility.
Mr. Boardman stated the City could consider that possibiiity in the
platting.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH 24, 1982 PAGE 5
Mr. Boardman stated he had some problems with the HRA in a long-term
lease arrangement, because this is being looked at as a 31-year lease
agreement. He is not sure where the HRA is going to be after 31 years,
6ecause the District is completed in 25 years. Ne stated they are going
to have to work with the City on this.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Boardman if he and the City Manager would have
something put together in a plan to present to the HRA at their Apri1 8th
meeting so the HRA can make that decision.
Mr. Boardman stated he would.
Mr. Haggerty stated that, other than the option he had mentioned earlier,
he would go on that basis and plug in all the recommended changes into
the contract documents and get those back to Mr. Boardman the first part
of the next week, along with their commitmeni letter.
Mr. Prieditis stated he was in agreement with the conditions as outlined
by Mr. Boardman earlier, and he thought it seemed reasonable to make
provisions for the future by separating a portion of the property in the
plat for possible future expansion.
Mr. Commers asked what Staff would have available to the HRA at their
April 8th meeting.
Mr. Boardman stated he planned to have the following:
(1) commitment letters from the Clinic and Mr, Haggerty
(2) contract documents
�3 a more detailed breakdown on costs (if possible)
4; a general understanding from the City's point of view on how
the lease arrangements are going to work and what costs are
going to be involved to the HRA on land acquisition or land
purchase.
Mr. Commers stated they should also have a written summary of what
Mr. Boardman is proposing as far as assessments.
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. & Mrs. Smith (362 - 64th Ave.) are very concerned
about the timing. He stated he has assured Mr. Smith that the City will
be working with them and will do everything they can to make the relocation
easier for them. There are relocation monies available, and the City
will pay any moving expenses. He stated he has discussed with Mr. Smith
that at some point in time, the City will have a real estate person try
to find a property that is acceptable to them for repurchase.
Mr. Commers stated that if the HRA approves the Clinic's proposal on
April 8th, what is the timing going to be for these people?
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING MARCH 24 1982 PAGE 6
Mr. Boardman stated that as far as taking the actual title to the
properties, they are looking at taking title as soon as possible. That
doesn't mean the people have to move at that time. As far as timing,
they are looking at at least 90 days,
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Boardman to review the letter from Mr. A1 Singer
to Mr. Boardman dated 3/19/82.
Mr. Boardman stated he has talked to'Mr. Singer, and Mr. Singer wili
accept $58,90D, as long as there is $15,000 in relocation costs. He
stated they now want to get a multiple listing from a real estate company
and check to see if $15,000 is an acceptable re7ocation. �r. Singer is
entitled to relocation with an acquisition.
Mr. Commers stated they needed a legal opinion to see if they can do that
without an actual relocation taking place. He asked Mr. Boardman to
have the City Attorney give the HRA a letter stating the re)ocation is,
in fact, something that is permissible to meet Mr. Singer's request that
the relocation monies be given directly to him.
Mr. Len Schollen, 6381 University Ave. N.E„ stated that if this project
ever gets off the ground and construction is started, he is concerned
about the impacf this construction is going to have on the access to their
business. Their business is a convenience business. and people are going
to go where it is more convenient, Their business is going to suffer.
Mr. Commers stated that Mr. Boardman should negotiate with Mr. Scho7len
and maybe his buiiding can be taken down sooner.
B. Phase II - Clinic - Re-evaluation of Site Layout due to Office Plan
Mr, Boardman stated he had a meeting Monday with Columbia Park Clinic and
Juran & Moody. They are now reworking the contract documents. Before, the
City was selling the Clinic the property up to 64th Ave „ and the City
was retaining the right for buy-back on the office building, etc. Now,
64th Ave. has been changed and they are reworking the Phase II documents.
They have gotten the rewrites of the documents to Coiumbia Park Clinic's
attorney, the Clinic people are going to get their recommendations/
modifications/changes back to the City, and then the City's legal counsel
will review it, also.
C. Phase I- Purchase of Northwestern Bell Building
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Wyeth has said he will come down from
$275,000 to $270,000. Now it was up to the kRA as to whether they want
to purchase the building at $270,000. He stated Mr. Wyeth is at the
point where he is ready to sign a 5 year lease with two 5-year options
with Northwestern Sell at $16,000 yr. If the HRA decides they want to
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, MARCH 24 1982 PAGE 7
acquire the building, he thought it would be a good idea and the HRA
would not lose money on the project. They could acquire the building
and lease it to Northwestern Bell.
Mr. Ha99erty stated it is a very favorable lease to Northwestern Bell in
terms of dollars and cents and also location-wise, and they would like to
stay here as long as they can.
Mr. Prieditis stated they had voted against proceeding with the acquisition
at the last meeting, because it was a situation where there was no room
for negotiations and they felt the $275,OOO,compared to the City's appraisal
of $250,OOO,was too high. He stated there has now been an indication that
there was some attempt to negotiate.
Mr. Comners asked what this does to their overall plan, because they would
be tying up $270,000.
Mr. Boardman stated that in looking at the cash flows and the project on
the other side of University, they had a flexibility of about $500,000
between the two projects, and that is a very conservative figure. He
stated he did not feel at this time that the $270,000 would be a major
deficit to the HRA.
MOTION BY MR. PRIEDITIS� SECONDED BY MR. HDUCK, SD PROCEED WITH THE
ACQUISITION OF THE NORTHWESTERN BELL BUILDZNG PROPERTY.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING RYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
D. Phase III - Letters from Develoaers on HRA Action - Discussion on SelectiQn
Mr. Boardman stated that at the last meeting, the NRA agreed they would like
each developer who had made a presentation to present some type of concept
drawing in a proposal to the HRA. He stated both American Redevelopers,
Inc., and Holmen Development Co. declined to put any money into design
proposals at this time. They wished to be considered on the merits of
their past performances and their presentations at the meeting, Mr. Boardman
stated he had only received a schematic concept from Barthel Construction.
Mr. Boardman showed the HRA the schematic concept. He stated Barthel is
proposing 98,000 sq. ft. of retail space, including the hardware building.
Mr. Boardman stated he would urge the HRA to make their decision on the
development teams' presentations and their merits and to go with the
development team they felt most comfortable with.
Mr. Comners asked what S�aff's recommendation was for a developer.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING MARCH 24, 1982 PAGE 8
Mr. Boardman stated he has worked with all the deve]opers. He stated he
feit most comfortable with 8arthel Construction with Ken Barthel as the
developer and with Dean Doyscher as the coordinator. He also felt quite
comfortable with the rest of the development team.
Mr. Boardman stated he felt A1 Holmen was a very honest and forthright
man. Mr. Holmen doesn't do anything he doesn't say he is going to do.
If something cannot be done, he wil] say so. In Mr. Boardman's short
association with Mr. Holmen, he felt he was very honest and could probably
do the job, but Mr. Boardman still felt most comfortable with Barthel
Construction,
Mr, Prieditis stated that at the last meeting, his choice was between
Mr, Ericson of American Redevelopers and Barthel Construction. He stated
he now felt that Barthel may be the most likely development team to put
together a package and proceed instead of dragging this out any longer,
He also liked the idea of local people being involved in the limited
partnership, who are interested and have been working on it. He felt
that was very positive. Ne stated he also felt very comfortable with the
design Barthel had presented.
MOTION BY MR. HOUCK� SECONDED BY hII2. PRIEDITIS� TO GRANT PRELIMINARY RIGHT I
OF DEVELOPMENT TO BARTHEL CONSTRUCTION� WZTH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY
HAVE 30 DRYS IN WHICH TO COME ZN WSTH SITE DRAWINGS AND SIX MONTHS TO PUT .
THE PRCKRGE TOGETHER. �-'
Mr. Pried4tis stated he would like to see something said about the quality
of workmanship that is going to go into the project.
Mr, Commers stated that was a good suggestion, and if this rrbtion passes,
Barthel Construction should be notified that the HRA would like them to
indicate something about the quality that would go into the project.
Mr. Boardman stated they should probably give the right of development
for the site designs to be presented to the HRA at their regular May
meeting.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
II. APPRAISAL FOR TED BURANDT - CHERYL NYBO PRdJECT:
Mr. Boardman stated the appraisal on Mr, Burandt's property came in at
around $46,�00. He stated he has not yet contacted Mr. Burandt, because
there is a substantial difference between the appraisal and what Mr. Burandt
thinks his property is worth. Mr. Burandt wants $65,000. He stated he has
talked to Ms. Nybo and asked her to get her financing committed before the_
April Sth meeting so they can start acquisition. They will plan to move
ahead with acquisition at the April HRA meeting.

HEARING OPEN AT 7:34 PM.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 7, 1982 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated the property is located on East River Road and Mississippi St,
That is the area where there is a gas station, the #1 Health Club, and a vacant
property ta the north. The present zoning is C-1S,
Mr. Boardman stated when the #1 Health Club came in, it was Staff's determination
that a health club was allowed in a C-1S zone. After the bui7ding was up and
operating, it came to the City's attention that there was another operation going
on, other than the health club, and that operation was a massage. He stated a
massage parlour is not allowed in a C-1S zone.
Mr. Boardman stated since that time, the City Council has passed an ordinance called
a"Sauna License Ordinance" which restricts a massage parlour in a G-1S zone and
allows it only in a C-2S zone, At this time, Mr, Schroer is making an application
for a rezoning of that particular area to C-2S,
Mr. Boardman stated there are three properties involved--Tract B, Tract C, and
Tract D. Tract B is the vacant property, 7ract C is the #1 kealth Club, and
Tract D is the gas station. Tract D is also a non-conforming use because a gas
station is not allowed in a C-1S zone, although it has been in that operation
for quite some time. When the gas station was built, it was an a7lowed use, but
with the changes in the code, it has been grandfathered in and exists as a 7ega1
non-conforming use,
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Schroer owns Tract B and Tract C, and the owner of Tract D
(gas stationj is in agreement to the C-2S zoning which is being proposed at this
time. Staff feels if they are going to rezone two of the properties, they should
rezone all three at one time to make the area consistent.
Ms. Gabe] asked what would happen to the massage parlour operation if this
rezoning request was denied.
Mr. Boardman stated they would not be able to operate a massage parlour in that
location. A health club operation would be a7lowed, but not a massage parlour.
He stated the City allowed a health club with the idea it was going to be a health
club, but the use was changed after the building was purchased by contract for
deed from Mr. Schroer and renovated.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr. Schroer if he had a written agreement from the owner of
Tract D(gas station) that the owner is in agreement with this rezoning request.
Mr. Schroer stated the owner of Tract D is in agreement with the rezoning, but
he did not have a letter of agreement.
Ms. Schnabel stated she felt that from a legal standpoint as far as the City is
concerned, they should have that proof of agreement. If the Planning Comnission
approves this rezoning request, one of the stipulations should be that a letter
be on file.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1982 PAGE 3
Mr. Bill Sledz, 321 University Ave, S.E., stated he currently has a purchase agree-
ment on Tract B. He stated he is buying Tract B for the purpose of putting in a
garage or just to enhance and protect the property they own behind it (the 144-
apartment complex - 6540 East River Road). They would also have purchased Tract C
if they had moved a little faster, but they learned a health club was going in there,
and a health club was fine with them. He stated it was his understanding that the
gas station would not be affected if the zoning did not change because of the
grandfather clause.
Mr. Sledz stated that if this operation is going to exist in this location, they
would like to see it return to a health club and not a massage parlour. They do
have a purchase agreement on Tract B that is binding and can be exercised, and for all
practical purposes, they are just waiting for title. If the owners of the health
club bought the building from Mr. Schroer and it was Mr. Schroer's understanding
that it was going to be a health club, he felt those people should abide by that
and not change their operation. He stated he has an investment in his property,
and if Tract C ever became available, he would be interested in purchasing it.
Ms. Schnabel stated she had a problem in that she could not recall where the City
has rezoned a property to make it consistent with the use of the property, usually
the property has to be consistent with the zoning.
Mr. Boardman stated it has been done in situations where they are making non-
conforming uses into conforming uses. If nothing else, he would recorironend the gas
station be rezoned to C-2S because the gas station is allowed in C-2S. He stated
he also has a problem with a rezoning in a situation like this where a property
was developed under a C-1S zone for a specific use and then that use, whether right
or wrong, has changed. Ne did not feel the Planning Co�nission was necessari]y
obligated to rezone just because a use is there that was created illegally.
Mr. Schroer stated the City had determined the zoning was right for a health club,
but when the operation was changed to a massage parlour, there was no zoning for
a massage parlour, and there was no one in the City who knew they needed a new
license for a massage parlour. The point he wanted to make was that the operation
did not have to fit into a C-1S or a C-25 zone at that time, because no zoning
existed for it.
Mr. Boardman stated this is an interesting situation. The way the code was set up,
there was no zone that said a health club was allowed or a massage parlour was
allowed. When the health club came in on this site, Staff made the determination
that a health club was a local business and, therefore, would be al7owed in a
C-7S zone. A massage parlour is not necessarily a local business. The codes were
very vague and left it to the discretion of City Staff to decide what was allowed
or what was not allowed. At that point in time, Staff did allow a health club.
He thought that if a massage parlour had been proposed on this si:te, there would
have been some discretion as to the type of zoning where it would be allowed. At
that time, a massage parlour would not have been allowed in a loca7 business zone.

Ms. Gabel stated the fact was that Staff had made the determination to allow a
health club, regardless of whether there was any zoning at that time that allowed
a massage par7our. What they have now is after the fact when they are 6eing asked
to change the zoning to meet the need when it is normally done tfie other way
around. She stated she had a real problem in doing that. She stated she was
not interested in changing the zoning of the gas station as there isn't rea7ly a
need for it. It can exist there as a legal non-conforming use. If the owner of
that property wants to have an official rezoning, that person can make the request.
She felt that in some ways, Staff was mislead in seeing this as a health club
and it turned out differently, and she did not see that as a reason to change the
zoning.
Mr. Saba stated he agreed with Ms. Gabel.
Ms. van Dan stated she also agreed with Ms. Gabe7. There was also the fact that
neither che owners of the health club or the gas station were present at this
meeting to speak their wishes, and she did not think the P7anning Commission
should recommend any changes unless they were present.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1982 PAGE 5
UFON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 7:59 P.M.�
Mr. Boardman stated this is an application for a specia] use permit for a nursery/
Christmas tree lot located in Menards' parking lot. In 1978, a permit was issued
to Menards for a garden-type use in the parking lot for a one year period of time.
At that time, the City Council suggested that if there were ever any more requests
for this type of use, it was not to be located in the parking lot. He thought
discussions at that time with Menards was that any use shou]d be a7ong the
building itself as it would be a more appropriate place than in the parking lot
area.
Mr. Kondrick asked why the City Council felt it was not a good idea to put any
future garden areas in the parking lot.
Mr. Boardman stated they have always tried not to increase these temporary types
of uses that are not well maintained, that are put up temporarily and are not a
year-around faci7ity. By putting it in the parking 7ot, there is no possi6ility
of any landscaping or screening to make it more attractive, other than the plants
that are brought in and sold.
Mr, Mark Haggerty stated he is the attorney representing Noble Nursery, Inc. He
stated Mr. Henry Sandbulte and Mr. Leo VanderBroek, principles of Noble Nursery, Inc,
are also in the audience. He stated Noble Nursery's primary location is just north
of Fridley in Blaine on Highway 65, and that is where they would maintain most of
their inventory.
Mr. Haggerty stated he would like to give the Comnission a little background on
how this came about. When Noble Nursery, Inc., entered into the lease agreement
with a71 the Menards in the Twin Cities area, they were told there would not be
any problems. There was money paid for that arrangement. He stated they did not
realize there were any problems or any restrictions until after the lease arrange-
ment was signed. They also did not know about the previous one year special use
permit.
Mr. Haggerty stated he has talked to Mr. Boardman and the neighbors who live
behind Menards. He stated he hoped to reach a compromise that would be workable
for everyone. Qne of the objections is the traffic flow and the size of the
nursery area, and that is why they have designated a 50' x 75' area. Noble
Nursery, Inc., is intending to put a nice wooden fence around the area, and there
will be a very small portable wooden A-frame shelter in case of bad weather.
They will try to make the drea as attractive as possible, He stated if the Commission
members wtished to drive by Noble Nursery in Blaine, they would find it is a very
attractive operation. They would keep the bulk of their stock at the main nursery,
They would primarily have display trees and for people who wanted to make big
orders, they would take de7ivery at their Blaine operation. That was pari of the
compromise when they discovered there might be a problem. The operation would
only run from whenever the City Council approved the request until the end of
June and from Dec. 1 to Dec. 25.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. APRIL 7, 1982 PAGE 6
Mr. Haggerty stated Mr. Boardman had mentioned the problems with temporary uses.
He stated the point thdt should be looked at in a situation like this is that
the on7y time they can sel7 this type of nursery stock is early in the year, and
presuma6ly the people who are buying the nursery stock 7ive within the City of
Fridley and are beautifying the City of Fridley in their yards. He felt there
was a residual benefit to the City of Fridley and to the citizens of Fridley by
having this conveniently located in Menards'parking lot.
Mr. Haggerty stated that, as far as location, they would prefer to have the
location they have proposed (southwest corner of the parking lot), but they are
willing to work with any stipulations the Planning Commission and City Council
might make, They will keep the area as small as possible and will clean up the
area after they are done. He stated Menards has indicated they do not want them
located next to the fenced area, because Menards feels there could be more of a
traffic flow problem in that area.
Mr. Leo VanderBroek, 11861 Flintwood Ave., stated it would be a very nice, attrac-
tive operation. There will actua7ly be two structures, the A-frame she7ter, and
a greenhouse-type structure to protect the bedding plants in case of freezing
weather.

PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, APRI4 7 1982 PAGE 7
Mr. Boardman stated there are three Housing & Redevelopment Authority redevelop-
ment districts in the City--the Center City Redevelopment District, the Moore
Lake Redevelopment District, and the North Area Redevelopment District. What
the City is attempting to do is establish a district similar to other special
districts that have been established in the City that will allow the development
of these redevelopment districts by plan. Any development within a special
district or any property that is zoned an S-2 district would require a plan to
be presented to the'Planning Commission and City Council. The pnrpose of this
special zoning district is to:
1, Allow mixed use development within special redevelopment districts,
Right now there is no zone, other than a PUD (planned unit development)
zone,which requires 20 acres for development. There is no special zone
that allows mixed use.
2. Allow the maximum flexibility in the promotion of the district.
Redevelopment districts are very difficult to develop and sometimes
there are a lot of special conditions in order to promote and get
a development,
3. Allow development by plan which is acceptable and in the best interest
of the City and overall district and development plan.
Mr. Boardman stated the process by which they would go through approval of an
S District is similar to the process they are following tonight. They would look
at what property they would want to rezone as an S-District, and then that
property would be submitted on a rezoning process. The Planning Commission and
City Council would have the opportunity to review any zoning issue and the
property owners within 350 ft. would be notified, After that rezoning, the
Planning Commission and City Council would be able to respond on particular plan
and plan elements in that zone,
Mr. Boardman stated that included in the plan would be all site plans,showing the
lacation of buildings, off-street parking, street and utility locations, access to
and from the project, grading plans, storm water plans, and landscape plans. These
would come to the Planning Commission and City Council, along with a written staff
review and a report from the HRA on any special conditions or considerations.
Mr. Boardman stated they are referring to this as the "redevelopment district
ordinance" that would a71ow them to establish with special consideration in those
districts that are presently redevelopment zones or those districts that have the
potential of becoming future redeve7opment districts.
Mr. Oquist stated the ordinance "a7lows for the mixed use deve7opment within
special redevelopment districts". How do they control that mixed use? Are they
going to put any limitations on the kinds of things they are going to allow in
an S-2 District?
Mr, Boardman sCated the city attorney has reviewed this ordinance, and he felt
they were pretty well covered. The ordinance states that the uses permitted are
"those uses which are acceptable to the overall redevelopment plan and specific
development plans as approved by the City". It also states that it excludes uses
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7 1982 PAGE 8
unacceptable to the overall development plan as determined by the City. So, it
does give the Planning Corrnnission and City Council full control on the types of
uses that will be allowed within that plan. It is a planned unit deve]opment
and is not a zoning issue. They are rezoning by plan because they want the flexi-
bility that is not built into the normal zoning code. That flexibility is a
mixed use type of development.
Mr. Saba asked what happens five years from now when someone goes in and buys a
building and then wants to convert that building for a different use. Would the
City go through the approval process at that level, because it is already zoned
a special district?
Mr. Oquist stated there needs to be some boundaries on the ordinance under "Uses
Permitted".
Mr. Boardman stated that was a very good point, and there should be some change
in the language. He stated he would work out some new wording.
Mr. Oquist stated he fe7t the ordinance should be recommended for approval, with
the wording change, because it does give the City the capability of classifying
areas.
Mr. George Meissner, 373 Mississippi St. N.E., stated he was also concerned about
the section on "uses permitted", which states: "Those uses which are acceptable
to the overall redevelopment plan and specific development plans as approved by
the City," He stated the statement does seem very vague. He did not know how
the City was ever going to determine what uses were acceptable or were not
acceptab]e, if they were ever put to a real test on what would or wou7d not be
permitted. He stated if Staff can get that clarified adequately, he would be
satisfied.
Mr. Boardman stated that what is meant in that statement is that,in the approval
of the plan, if they approve a shopping center, that is a shopping center use
and not each individual use within the building itself. Then each of the individual
uses within the shopping center must comply with the shapping center use. He
stated he will be adding some wording to the effect that, "each individual use
must comply with the overall use (such as a shopping center)"
Mr. Meissner stated the concept sounds good as presented; he just hoped it works
out as well as it sounds.

MOTION BY MS. VAN DAN� SECONDED BY MR. OQUIST� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINC ON
ZOA #82-03 BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY.
UPON R VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTSNG AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HfiARING OPEN AT 9:09 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated that since 7978, they have had a Center City Redevelopment
District, which includes Holly Center, the property across from Ho17y Center,
10,000 Auto Parts, all the way down to 61st Ave. With these properties, it is
the City's intent to develop a Center City cohesive development. They developed
a six-stage development program within the district. This went through public
hearings in 1978, and the district was approved and set up by the City Council.
Mr. Boardman stated that since 1978, they have worked on severa7 developments,
They tried to pull in an office building north of City Hal] which did not work.
They tried a retail development across from Holly Center which did not work. One
reason is that the financing has been very difficult. At this point, they are
putting a proposal together south of City Ha71 for a 28,000 sq, ft, medical
clinic facility with a possible expansion by 1986 of an additional 28,000 sq, ft.,
and also a 30,000 sq, ft. office building.
Mr. Boardman stated it is their intent with this development to narrow 64th Ave.
from 40 ft. to 26 ft. for circulation, do some landscaping, and create a public
plaza developrnent. That public plaza development with the landscaping will be
consistent throughout the area and will start the development of their theme
throughout the entire Center City area.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 7, 1982 PAGE 10
Mr. Boardman stated that at this point in time, the HRA is going to be hTring a
landscape architect by competition. That ]andscape architect will do the detailed
design for the area with conceptual designs and tie it through the whole district.
In order to be consistent with the area, they are looking at rezoning this area,
because it currently consists of 5-6 zones. The City is requesting the rezoning
of this area to S-2 to al7ow them the flexibility to develop this concept, When
actual detailed plans are available, they will be submitted to the Planning
Canmission and City Council for approval,
Mr. Boardman stated that in the next 3-4 weeks, they will also be hiring a traffic
designer who will be ]ooking at the whole traffic design.
Mr. Boardman stated the Fridley State Bank has requested they not be included in
the S-2 District.
Mr. Don Savelkoul, 6315 University Ave. N.E., stated he is the attorney for
Fridley State Bank and the owner of the property. When they heard of this
rezoning request, they met with Mr. Boardman and Mr. Qureshi, the City Manager.
The Board then met, and they advised the City that they did not want to be a part
of the S-2 District. He stated they have no opposition to the district or to the
plan, but at this particular point, they do not want in any way to be included in
the district. They have been in their location since 1962. They have 12,000
depositors and 50 employees. He stated they are in a very competitive industry.
Over the past 20 years they have had to expand twice--they have had to revamp
the parking lot and their drive-in facilities, and probably will have to do it
again. He stated their traffic pattern requires every inch of ground they have.
They would have complete confusion if they had to integrate the bank property
with the parking lot for the clinic. Their responsibility as a banking institution
is to operate effectively and competitively. They want to handle their own traffic
the way they want to handle it. They wi71 be happy to meet with the City and
Mr. Boardman on any common problems, but they would very much appreciate it if
the Planning Commission would exclude the bank property from this rezoning request.
Mr. Haggerty stated he agreed with Mr. Savelkoul about the bank property being
excluded. Mr. Haggerty stated he represented all the private owners of the building
north of City Hall, and he is also the developer of the office building, He
stated that from their perspective, the type of zoning being proposed and which
is used in a number of other cities for redevelopment purposes is really the only
way to go. He stated it makes sense to exclude the bank property, because it
is not reaily going to be redeveloped as such, while all the other land included
is going to be redeveloped. He stated the new zoning could save a lot of time
and possibly some legal problems in the development of, not only the office
building, but also the clinic.
