MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. NEW BRIGHTON TOWN HALL MEETING: LARRY OLSON, CHAIRPERSON OF
. . ���� ....:..��rn.i ,-�ni�..a. nnue��+Trr
Mr. Olson stated the New Brighton Study Committee is basically a standing
ad hoc committee reporting to the City Council, In the last coup7e of years, .
they have done some work on a sanitation statute, a study on the need for a
second fire hall, and for the last five years have sponsored the New Brighton
Town Hall Meeting, which earlier went under the name, "Citizen Leaders' Forum".
He stated he has been on the committee for two years.
Mr. Olson stated the first couple of years, invitations were sent ma4nly to.
the chairpersons and officers of identified leaders in the community, speci-
fically, the New Brighton businessmen, League of Women Voters, Jaycees, various
civic groups, clergymen, school administrators, members of citizen boards and
cortunissions and the City Council, The idea initially was to develop some ties
between the City Council and people active on boards and commissions and the
other 7eaders in the cormiunity. After a couple of years, that se�ned short-
sighted, and the horizons were broadened to also invite anyone in the community
to participate. It was this year that they changed the name from "Citizen
Leaders' Forum" to "New Brighton Town Hall Meeting", because they wanted to get
broader input and get citizen participation into some of the more crucial and
exciting decisions made at the city level.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, APRIC 13, 1982 - PAGE 2
Mr. Olson stated he has attended three of these meetings, The first one he
attended had approximately 70 people, the second one had approximately 700
peopie, and this year there were approximately 150 peop7e. He stated he felt
the key to a successful meeting was, not so much the publicity, but what is
said in the pub]icity in terms of the topics to be discussed, The topics
should be relevant, broad enough to elicit discussion, yet narrow enough so
they don't get discussion all over the map. The topics should be timely in
terms of being well enough developed as an issue so that people understand or
have the opportunity to understand what is going on, but yet not so far down
the line that the decisions have a7ready been made and it is a sham.
Mr. Olson stated the roeeting is held on a Saturday morning from 9:00 to
12:00-12:30 p.m. A presentation is made by the Mayor on the general state of
the City followed by the chosen topics. Each Council mem6er makes a 15-20 min.
presentation on one of the topics to be discussed. There is a coffee break
with coffee and donuts; then they spiit up into sma11 groups on each of the
topics. The small group discussions last 45 min. - 1 hr. He stated in the ]ast
three years, they have not assigned people to certain groups, which is risky,
but they have had quite even distribution. Each Council member is assigned
to the group for the topic he/she presented, There is also one staff person
and one member from the corronittee attending each of the small group sessions.
The Council member is the discussion leader, the staff person is there as the
detail expert, and the committee member takes notes and reports back to the
committee. After the small group sessions end, they again go back into the
large group and merr�ers of the committee make 3-5 minute presentations on
re]evant areas that came up in the smatl group discussions. They then open it
up for questions to the City Council members.
Mr. Olson stated the New Brighton Eagle's Club served a nice luncheon after
the meeting. It was open to anyone who participated in the meeting and was
free of charge. The luncheon was not pu6licly annouttced, but board and commission
members and the City Council were told about the ]uncheon.
Mr. Olson stated they still send invitations to 500-600 people, plus the open
invitation to the general pub7ic. They publicized through the city newsletter,
the New Brighton Bulle�in, and the St. Paul Dispatch-North Suburban section,
Ms. Cayan asked how the topics are seiected.
Mr. Olson stated the New Brighton Study Committee
about a dozen suggested topics. 5taff looks over
or against or adds to the list. The list is then
and the City Council picks the final topics.
Ms. Modig asked how much cost was involved.
comes up with
the list and
presented to
a list of
recanmends for
the City Council,
Mr. Olson stated it was probably less than $100 for coffee and donuts. He
stated he had no idea how much staff time cost was involved,
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 13 1982 - PAGE 3
Ms. Gustafson asked what benefit Mr. Olson felt the meeting was to the
community.
Mr. Olson stated the goal, as they see it, is to develop a two-way corrrnunica-
tion to get more detailed information to the citizens on issues that are
facing the City and to get feedback on those issues. That mechanism is already
in place for the boards and canmissions; however, it is more focused, so it
broadens the base and gives a wider subject area and does invo7ve a significant
number of people who otherwise would not participate. He stated that, not
this year but in previous years, they used the luncheon as a time to recognTZe
volunteers and passed out certificates from the Governor's office to al1 the
boards and commission members who served that year.
Mr. 01son stated the timing, in terms of when the meeting should be held, is
very crucial. They have found the latter part of February/early March is about
the best time. •
Ms. Modig asked what kind of vehicle is used for feeJback. Are any evaluation
sheets handed out?
Mr. Olson stated the feedback comes to the Council members during the smal]
group discussions and with questions in the large group. He stated there is
no formal mechanism. They do pass out evaluation sheets regarding the topics--
were the topics proper, what topics should be considered for further consider-
ation, etc.?
Mr. Olson stated he would urge the City of Fridley to have a town meeting.
Ne stated the investment is not that great. This year they had a student
intern wfio spent about 10-15 hrs. putting the whole thing together. He stated
there might be an investment on the part of Staff in helping the Council members
put their presentations together. If they do give it a try, he would caution
them to keep the agenda lean, because everything takes about twice the time it
was planned for.
The Commission members thanked Mr, Olson for caning and sharing this
information,
Ms. Gustafson stated she thought the town hall meeting idea was a very
interesting concept.
Ms. Modig stated maybe they should discuss this with the City Council to see
if the City Council is willing to go along with it.
Ms, Gustafson stated that before they do that, they should come up with a
list of suggested topics and gitie the City Council an idea of what the
Comnission is interested in doing. She stated she felt it was certainly time
that the Mayor and the Gouncii members were a little more exposed to public
view.
COMMUNITY DEVECOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 13 1982 - PAGE 4
Ms. Cayan stated that if the Comnission was interested in pursuing this, they
should put together an organized proposal on how they would like to handle
it and then present that proposal to the City Council at a conference meeting.
Maybe during the next couple of Commission meetings, they could put their
ideas together to see how they would like to proceed. She stated she would
get a list of future City Council conference meeting dates.

2. NEIGNBORHOOD PROJECT COMMITTEE; SCOPE AND TIMETABLE DEVELOPMEN7
Ms. Cayan stated that on April 5, the City Council concurred with the
Commission's recommendation to establish a neighborhood project comnittee to
study the neighborhood concept in Fridley, and the City Council directed the .
Commission to develop a scope and timetable for the project cortanittee. The
City Council has also asked the Commission for suggestions for names of
people to appoint to the project corr�nittee and has asked the Commission to
make a motion to the Planning Corm�ission so the Planning Commission can get
going on their end of it.
Ms. Cayan handed out two samples of project committee proposa7s that have
been used in the past,
Ms, Modig stated the Commission members should give this some thought, and
it should be continued until the other Comnission members are present.

B. STATED HARDSHIP�-
"Present f�ily maa� is 10' x 12' and is �o longer large enough to
acmmodate the 8 member family." ,
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIFII;
The present attached qarage is pulled 9.8 feet ahead of the dwelling and is
35.4 Peet £rom the front lot line and 5.6 feet fram the side lot line.
On July 24; 1972, the City Council approved a 5 foot side yard variance tn.
allav a 20' x 12' covered patio behind this garage tn be converted to liviru3
area.
The proposed request is to enlarge this existing living area by converting
13� feet of the existing garage to living area and adding 12 feet of garage
azea toward the front lot line. This would result in a 22' x 20' garage
and a 25' x 20' living area.
There is approximately 25 feet between adjac�t stzuctures and the existing
living area has a fire wall � a21 parts 10 feet or closer to the lot 2ine.
Pet Tichey of 74�1 Tempo Terrece N.E., Fridlep, wes present.
Mr. Hill provided the Cos�iasion Members with an aerial view and recent
photogtaphs of the property. Mr. Hill said the only staff comment was that
pulling the garage forward would make the dwelling inconsistent in appearance
with othets in the neighborhood and wondered if other possibilities had been
explored.
Mrs. Tfchey presented each Co�ission Member with a detaited plan of what they
proposed to do. This plan involves changing the posieion of the front door to
the addition, pulling the garage forward and adding a slanted roof with piliars
to draw the attention from the gatage to the front of ihe house. She also
provided sketches of the present and proposed floor plans. This floor plan would
involve pulling the garage forward, remove the present wall between the living
room and garage, open the current living room to a new 12x20 addition with the
present family room. Mrs. Tichey indicated that they had consulted with several
builders in the past two yeara and these plans seemed [o be the best aesthetfcally
as well as financially. Included in the information ptovided Coimnission Members
was the following:
Objectives; Create a usable living/family room for a large family.
CreaYe a dining area for a large family.
Create efficient traffic pattern and additional closet space.
Minimize impa�t on existing site save existing patio, trees, shrubs
and privacy fence.
Acceptable cost.
Enhance front view.
Altetnatives Considered: Move garage forward.
Add m to back of house.
Build a separate garage.

Deviation Considerations: Neighbors agree this is an acceptable change.
Setback change wi11 have less than usual effect because:
a. Mature area with many shrubs and trees.
b. StreeG has curve. `
c. Extending roof will keep visual proporat3on.
The effect on the adjacent neighbor is minimized because
the change is on their garage side.
Chairwoman Gabel stated her concern about neighbors objections and Mrs. Tichey
provided a statement stating they had no objections signed by six of the neighbors.
MOTI�N by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Plemel to receive this petition into the record.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY. This signed statement appears as Exhibit 1 to these minutes.
Chairwoman Gabel expressed concern, because of fire safety, about having windows
on the new south wall in the addition. Mrs. Tichey said they had planned to put
skylights in that room and, because it would face the garage, it would not be a
probiem to eliminate windows on that wall, Chairwoman Gabel further stated that
a fire wall should exist there for their own, as well as their neighbor's protection.

UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 7:38 P.M.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 5, 1982 PAGE
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Hamernik and P1r. Qureshi met with the petitioners
and some of the residents and came up with a plat similar to what the Planning
Commission members had before them. He stated the front three lots will be R-l.
He stated Staff is working on a new zoning ordinance that allows zero lot line
twin homes where the units themselves may be owner occupied. So. when the plat
is approved, the five lots in the rear could be split so that each unit could
be zero lot line home.
Mr. Boardman stated the actual plat has not yet arrived and they were expecting
it to be delivered to the Planning Commission sometime durin9 the meeting.
f4r. Wellner stated he has not seen the plat since it came out of the surveyor's
office, but the intent on the five rear lots is to build duplexes with a zero
lot line with the intention of selling each half to a separate buyer. The square
footage of all the lots meets the code requirements. He stated he thought there
were 1-2 lots that may need a variance in terms of the width of the lot itself.
Mr. Boardman stated that included with the approval of the plat wil1 be approval
of the variances necessary, with the lots, in order to develop structures.
Ms. Gabel stated she did not necessarily agree they should approve the variances
at the same time they approve the plat.
Mr. Boardman stated if they approve the p7at, they approve the variances applicable
to the lot. He was not saying they should approve all the variances of the structure,
because those variances can only be approved when the structure is brought in and
looked at. But, when they approve a plat that is less than the required width,
then there is automatic approval of the variances. The indication they have gotten
from the City Attorney is that the City Council does have the authority to approve
variances with plats without goina throu9h the variance procedure. The reason for
this is that the variance procedure requires a public hearing and notification
within 200 feet. The platting procedure requires notification within 300 feet,
therefore, that notification allows for more public input.
Mr. Wellner stated the conversation he has had with the surveyor and Mr. Qureshi
is that they are going to try to keep al7 the lots with not less than a 65 ft.
setback.
Ms. Schnabel stated that since the preliminary p7at has not yet arrived, they
should continue this item until the e�d of the meeting and continue on with the
rest of the agenda items.

LATER IN THE MEETING.

3. RECEIVE APRIL 20, 7982, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALI7Y COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION BY MR. SVANDA� 5ECONDED BY MR. SABA� TO RECEIVE THE APRSL 20� I982,
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION MINUTES.
Mr. Svanda stated they had an interesting discussion with Dan Krivit from the
City of Minneapol?s on the recycling efforts in the City of Minneapolis. He
stated Minneapolis wil] be initiating an 18-neighbor recycling effort through a
city contract the City has with waste haulers. They will be saving the City of
Minneapolis $5/ton on recycla6le materials ($17/ton for recycling compared to
$22/ton for disposal).
Mr. Svanda stated the Environmenta] Ouality Commission has decided to spend most
of their next meeting talking about and planning for a meeting with the hau7ers
in Fridley. Mr. Krivit had suggested the City of Fridley look into the possibility
of a"block concept" where a block of people would get together and contract with
one hauler. This was done in a neighborhood in St. Paul with some success.
Mr. Saba stated the "block concept" could go hand-in-hand with the neighborhood
concept that the Corrmunity Development Commission will be working on. A neighbor-
hood group could contract with one hauler to reduce hauling fees and for recycling.
He thought it was a very good idea.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Svanda stated that on page 5 of the Environmental Quality Commission minutes,
the Comnission had made a motion regarding the banner that the SORT Committee
had made and which was installed over Mississippi St. during Recycling Week to
advise city residents and others of the existing SORT faci7ity and to encourage
people to use the facility. SORT paid $87 for the banner. The motion recommended
to the City Council that the City of Fridley contribute to SORT at least one-half
of the cost of the banner, Mr. Svanda stated he would recommend the Planning
Commission concur with this motion and recorrNnend approval by the City Council.
MOTION BY MR. SVANDA� SECONDED BY MS. VAN DAN� TO CONCUR WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY COMMTSSION�S MOTION AND TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE CITY
OF FRIDLEY CONTRIBUTE TO SORT AT LEAST ONE-HALF THE COST INCURRED BY SORT FOR
THE BANNER IACATED ON MISSISSIPPI 5T. DURING RECYCLING WEEK. .
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHRIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANSMOUSLY.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEFTING MAY 5, 1982 PAGE 4
Mr. Svanda stated that on page 6 of the Environmental Ruality Commission minutes,
the Commission had made a motion acknowledging and applauding the efforts of the
City in taking the initiative to insta7l a used crankcase oil recycling facility
at the SORT facility.
Ms. Schnabel stated the Planning Commission certainly appreciates the work SORT
is doing, and the Planning Corrritission would also concur with the Environmental
Qua7ity Comnission's motion to acknowledge and app7aud the City's efforts in
instaliing the used oil recycling facility.
Mr. Svanda stated it is going to take a concerted effort to get city residents
to recycle, and there is a certain amount of expense incurred by SORT, nat only
in time, but also in money as far as publishing and distributing literature to
city residents and expanding their recycling efforts. Therefore, the Environ-
mental Ouality Corrmission had made a motion on page 6 of the minutes to recommend
to the City Council that the City share with SORT 50q of the profits the City
realizes from the oil recycling facility once the City captures the cost incurred
in purchasing and insta7ling the faci7ity.
Ms. Schnabel stated this way of giving income to SORT for promotion of the facility
appealed to her. Rather than taking tax dollars from the residents of Fridley,
they are taking somethinq from the recyc]ing center itself and using it for
publicity and promotion of the facility.
Ms. Gabel stated that printing and publishing costs are very high, and profits
from the recycling center are very low. She felt SORT needed the money to help
provide information to the public, as that is basically what SORT uses the money
for.
MOTION BY MR. SVANDA� SECONDED BY MS. GABEL� TO CONCUR WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY COMMISSION'S MOTION TO RECOMMEND SO THE CITY COUNCSL THAT THE CITY� UPON
REALIZING A RETURN FROM THE USED OIL RECYCLING FACILITY LOCATED AT THE 50RT
RECYCLING FACILITY WHICH EQUALS THE CITY'S COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING THE
USED OIL RECYCLING FACILITY� SHARE 50/50 IN FUTURE PROFITS WSTH SORT.
UPON A VOSCE VOTE� ALL VOTING RYE� CXAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION C�IRRIED
UNANIMWSLY.
Mr. Svanda stated he appreciated the Planning Commission's support in these
mations.
4. RECEIVE APRII 27, ]982, APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION BY MS. GABEL� SECONDED FY MR, KONDRICK� TO RECEIVE THE APRIL 27� Z982�
APPEALS COMMSSSION MINUTES,
Ms. Gabel stated the petitioner at this meeting was very we11 prepared and had
laid out goals, objectives, and alternatives for the Commission. It was very
helpful for the Commission members to make a decision. 5he stated that at a
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAY 5 1982 PAGE 5
future Appeals Commission meeting, she thought they should discuss the possi-
bility of having some kind of hand-out that a petitioner would receive from
Staff when that person comes in to fill out an app]ication. It might help the
public in terms of what kind of information is needed before appearing before
the Appeals Commission.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNRBEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
5. CONTINUED: PUBLIC H
P.S. 82-01; DOTYJ E
Public hearing open.
Mr. Wellner stated the plat had not yet arrived.

Mr. Boardman stated the plat is going to be similar to the drawing the Planning
Commission members had in their agenda packet. Ne stated the Planning Gorrmission
is only reviewing the preliminary plat, Final plat is prepared and submitted to
the City Council, and the City Council wi71 be reviewing the final plat with a
public hearing also.
Mr, Michael Larson, 6390 Starlite Blvd., stated he would have a problem with the
Planning Commission approving a plat they had not seen.
Mr. lJellner stated he had called the surveyor, and there was nothing substantially
different in the plat than what the Planning Commission had before them. He
stated they have already scheduled with the City of Fridley for sewer, water, and
street. By not acting on the preliminary p7at, they will be de7ayed another
month, or it could possibly set them back 4-5 months.
Ms. Schnabel stated she could understand the problems Mr. Wellner and Mr. Doty
were facing, but since the plat was not at the meeting, she would feal very
uncomfortable acting on the plat without seeing it.
Mr. Wellner stated he was concerned with the timetable only, because they are
scheduled to go before City Council with final plat on June 7.
Mr. Boardman stated they may want the Planning Commission to authorize the public
hearing notification so they can still have the Juoe 7 public hearing at Citv
Council for final plat.
Mr. Wellner stated he would have no problem with that.
Mr. Wellner stated the intent of this plat is to pro � de the opportunity for
zero lot line;however, he, as the builder, would not be forced to se71 all the
duplex units. He could maintain them as duplexes and could rent out both sides.
The reason for this is it is extremely difficult to get financing for a$140,000
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 5, 1982 PA6E 6
unit, but this would allow them to be able to se17 one-half of a unit for a
$70,000 mortgage, which was more affordable. But, he stated he did not think
the intent was to force this all into an R-1 development. The intent is to
provide the opportunity for zero lot line so they have the flexibility of selling
one-half of a duplex separately.
Mr. Larson stated he is representing the neighborhood. He stated the neighborhood
was going to reject the rezoning and take their chances with the M-1 zoning, but
they have compromised with the rezoning of Lots 1, 7, and 8 as R-1 and Lots 2-6
as R-2, providing Mr, qureshi can provide zero lot lines to increase the
potential for owner-occupied units, a requirement for attached or tuck-under
garages, and minimum square footages for the structures.
