Mr. Deblon stated he had an aeria] photo showing the location of the building. He stated the operation is a drive-through type auction, It is a public duction where anyone can bring in an autanobile to be auctioned off. He stated Staff has some problems they would like to see addressed. Mr. Deblon stated the major problem was parking. The activity is currently going on, and the City has determined it should require a special use permit. Although the zoning is M-2, the operation is hedging toward a retai] operation, but technically it could be called a wholesale-type of sales.He stated they run into problems when a retail-type operation is in an industrial development, where enough parking is provided for warehousing or manufacturing at a lesser rate than would be provided for retail or wholesale. He stated Staff would like to see all off-street parking needs met accoriling to the code (hard surface with concrete curbing around the area). Mr. Deblon stated the Fire Department has expressed sane concerns, many of which have been resolved. The Fire Department has a fairly extensive list of concerns. Mr. Kondrick asked if cars were stored at this facility. Mr. Doty stated he is familiar with the building and the tenant. He s�ated there are 40 bays in the building, with a total of 80,000 sq. ft. Six bays are presently being rented to the automobile-related industry--auto restoration, transmission repair shop, auto vinyl repair shop, etc. He stated Mr, Hartman does not do any auto repair, but he does store cars pending the auctron. He stated the auction is held On Saturday morning. People can bring their cars in during the week, and those cars are stored inside the building until Saturday, After the auction, the cars are removed. Ms. Gabel asked how much parking there actually is now and how much parking • would be required for this operation in the appropriate zoning. . Mr. Deblon stated a retail-type operation requires one stall per every 250 ft. of space. He did not have an analysis of how many parking spaces would be needed to keep the parking off-street. 7here is a lot of on-street parking at the time of the auction. Mr. Doty stated Mr. Hartman is actually using 17,000 sq. ft. He stated that when Mr. Hartman started this operation, he did not know he was required to get a special use permit, It first came to the attention of City Hall when the Fire Department inspected regarding fire hazards. Mr. Doty stated that because he is familiar witfi the Duilding, he would like to suggest a couple of things. As far as requiring curbing, a parking lot, and all those kinds of things, he felt those were properly the province of the building owner. As far as the parking problem, this area is not a heavily traveled area, and the auction is held on Saturday morning. He stated the Planning Cortanission should be aware that this building produced around $33,000 in taxes last year and is being hit now with a tax increase of $11,000. Even 100% occupied, that PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 9, 1982 PAGE 3 building is losing money. He stated he empathized with Mr. Hartman who is a small business person, and in speaking for the small business people who are trying to survive in today's econany, he hoped the Planning Camnission would take these things into consideration in making their decision. Ms. Barbara Hughes stated she is a member of the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation Board of Directors, and she was representing the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation at this meeting. She stated she had a resolution dated June 1, 1982, she would like to present to the Pla�ning Co�nission. Ms, Hughes read the following resolution into the record: SPRINGBROOK NA7URE CENTER FOUNDATION RESOLVED: For reasons of protecting a valuable natural resource, of protectinq the investment the corranunity has made in.its largest park, and to preserve natural wildlife habitat and areas citizens may use for personal enjoyment, education and growth, and to preserve the unique educational facility and to prevent degradation of all these assets, the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation Board of Directors does urqe the City of Fridley to examine the need for a special use permit for activities on adjoining property with great care, and to do everything in its power to prevent the intrusion of noise, unwanted sounds, the sounds of business activity and especially of outdoor loudspeakers, and to assure that the water quality in the nature center creek and ponds is not degraded by run-off from adjoining property and is of the highest quality, and that the City use its powers to assure that the visual impact of activities taking place on adjoining property is held to a minimum and that junk car storage lots not be permitted in property abutting the nature center, and that all the required planting, screenings, and buffering techniques appropriate between zoninq cate- gories of different types be used to the fullest extent. June 1, 1982 Ms. Hughes stated the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation is not directly opposing the granting of this special use permit. They have a great many con- cerns about the impact on the activities that would take place on a Saturday morning when there are a great many people in the nature center. that those people not be disturbed by loud car noise and that there not be loudspeakers. She stated there are some traiis very close to this property. Those trails that are in the prairie have direct visual access to this building, and part of their concern is that the people on the trails could have a miserable experience. She stated they have as many as 2,000 people going through the nature center on one weekend. There are a l�t of people who come who want the area to be quiet and expect it to be quiet. Ms. Hughes stated, again, they are not saying the special use permit should not be or cannot be issued, but they wanted these kinds of considerations included in it so there was some enforcement should this operation violate those PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 9, 1982 PAGE 4 considerations. She stated it has been her feeling that special use permits are very often used as a way to avotd rezoning. That did not seem to be the case here, and she was glad to see that, but it may clearly be a case of an inappropriate use in that particular zoning, which she would think would be grounds to deny the request, Ms. Hughes stated they understood this was projected as an increase in business. Although the business has been in operation, the auctions have only been held once a month, but they understood Mr. Hartman was intending to have auctions every Saturday, which concerned the Springbrook Nature Center foundation. Ms. Hughes stated that because the auction has been held inside the building, they have not been unduly impacted at this time, but if they see an increase in the size of the operation or in the frequency of operation, the chances of these kinds of things happening, particularly the noise, would be what they would consider an adverse impact. At this time, they have not seen a lot of adverse impacts, but they would like the City to be very cognizant of what the potential is there and to protect it. After all, it is a city park, She stated she was sure the Parks & Recreation Commission would have similar concerns, Ms. Hughes stated she has been at City Councii meetings when they have dealt with the car salvage yards and has seen the efforts the owners of those facilities have to go to to meet the many stipulations on plantings, paving, water run-off, water quality, etc. Those same kinds of things are appropriate things to apply to this type of operation. Ms. Hughes stated the water plan for that whole area dumps into the nature center's waterways in a number of different places. It is their understandinq at this time that the run-off from this particular site is not getting into the nature center ponds or waterways very easitiy, but it may in heavier rains. She stated the concern of where the water from that parking lot is going is a concern the City should address. Mr. �eblon stated there was the residential zoning near this building and the proposal for an apartment complex in that area. He had genuine concern about the actikities they allow in these areas and the impact on the quality of life in residential areas. MOTION BY MS. GABEL� SECONDED BY MS. VAN DRN, TO RECEIVE INTO THE RECORD THE RfiSOLUTION DATED JUNE 1� 1982� FROM TNE SPRZNGBROOK AATURE CENTER FOUNDATION. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTZON CARRZfiD UNANZMOUSLY. Mr. Kondrick stated he felt the Parks & Recreation Caomission rmald agree with the concerns presented by Ms. Hughes. He stated water is a problem no�v in the nature center, let alone what it could become in the future with a lot of cars in this area. Noise and noise abatement is going to be critical. He felt the City should consider the suggestions made by Ms. Hughes to protect the nature center property from any unnecessary noises at all times, not just on Saturdays. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 9, 1982 PAGE 5 Ms, van Dan stated she would also be concerned about the visual pollution. As Ms. Hughes had pointed out, the view from the park does involve the building and its activities. Another concern was the residentia] area and the apartment building that might be going up, and she wondered if this was an appropriate activity to be taking place so close to residential. Ms. Schnabel stated they have to remember this is M-2 zoning and there are other businesses in this building that are compatible with M-2 zoning. But, Staff also has a question of whether this auction operation is compatible in M-2. Ms. van Dan stated she just wanted to be sure that if the business was conducted, it did not project any noise or visual impact to the nature center. The operation can be contained in the building. Ms. Schnabel stated she had several questions she wo�ld like answered: 1. What is the zoning on the other auto salvage areas, and do these places have special use permits? If so, what are the conditions of those special use permits? 2. Have there been any complaints from the public about the auction business or any other business in that building? 3. What happens to the cars if they are not sold after the auction? 4. What is the current water run-off situation in this area and what impact does this business have on it? Ms. Gabel stated she would like the Planning Comnission members to have a copy of the stipulations that are given to auto salvage operations. Ms. Schnabel stated they need the petitioner here to answer these kinds of questions, and she wou7d recommend the Planning Commission continue this item until the petitioner can be present.

(Block 5 alley vacated Ordinance 208) (balance of streets and alleys from hlississippi St, to 64th Avenue vacated February 23, 1953, in Bo�k 292, Page 219, Anoka County Records) Mr. Deblon stated this request 9s by the Fridley Housing & Redevelppment Authority (HRA) to vacate both 4th St, and the alley. The street is not in existence, but the alley is existing. The reason for the vacation is to make way for the devetopme�t of a medical clinic by Colum6ia Park Properties. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 9, 1982 PAGE 6 Mr. Deblon stated he had an aerial photo to present to the Conmission in order to give them an idea of the deveiopment in the area. He stated the clinic development was planned for late July. Ms, Patty Hardel stated their garage address is 33b - 64th Ave. She stated their main objection was that the alley is their main access to their driveway to get to their garage which is how they get into their house. She stated they did not receive any notification of this action unti7 last Saturday. Mr, Harvey Petersnn stated he was speaking for Tom Ryan. He stated he felt this action was premature. If the alley was vacated, it would severely damage Mr, Rya�'s business. The vacation of the alley was an unnecessary action because if the HRA acquires the property, they will then own the alley anyway. Mr. Doty stated the vacation action was premature. By this action, the HRA was taking away access to part of his property which is several hundred feet of frontage on 4th St. He stated the HRA needs the 4th St, property and the east portion of his property for the development of the medical clinic. He stated the HRA and he comnenced negotiations that morning. He stated he did not oppose this development, but he thought the cart was before the horse. This should be done two weeks from now, but not at this meeting. Mr. Doty stated the contract has not yet been signed with Columbia Park Properties and until that contract is signed, he would have to oppose this vacation. Mr,Deblon stated he thought Staff was concerned about the timing a vacation takes. He believed it took about three months to complete the vacation of a street or a71ey, MOTION BY MR, OQUZST� SECONDED BY MS.

REVIEW MODIFICATION TO CHAPTER 211 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE: PLATTING RDINANCE Mr, Oquist stated this was brought before the Comnunity Development Cor�nission the previous evening. Mr. Boardman reviewed the ordinance with them, and the Comnunity Development Commission made the recommendation to approve the concept of zero lot lines. Mr. Deblon stated the Planning Commission members were aware of the numerous requests the City is getting for double bungalows t� be split with single ownership side by side. He stated they also had a prob7em with new construction versus existing construction. He s#ated Mr. Qoty and Mr. Wellner have land which was recently zoned R-2 which is now up for subdivision approval for zero lot line-type development. Mr. Deblon stated this ordinance amending Chapter 211 sets up some standards whereby the City Council can approve subdivisions--in R-2, the lot area is 5,000 sq, ft. with a lot width of 37.5 ft; and in R-3, the lot area is 3,000 sq. ft. with a lot width of 25.0 ft. In proceeding with the subdivisions with Mr. Doty's land, they encountered some other problems with irregular shaped lots. He stated they are still searching for a mechanism to split the land as equally as possible in order to end up with a more acceptable sheped lot if the origina7 lot is 10,000 sq. ft. Mr� Deblon stated that also included with the ordinance is a"Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions". Mr. Deblon stated they would like the Planning Canmission to approve the concept of zero lot line and possibly approve the amendment to Chapter 211 with recortmendations. Ms. Schnabel stated she would like to know when the "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions a�d Restrictions" had to be filed and where the document is filed, She stated this information should be included with the ordinance. Ms. Schanbel stated she did not have any problems with the "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions", except for the sexist language which should be changed. Ms. 6abe1 and Ms, van Oa� stated the "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions" was a very reassuring document. Ms. Schnabel stated she had problems with the lot area in R-2 and R-3 under Item N1 of the ordinance. She felt the whole sectfon needed to be rewritten to avoid the kinds of problems Mr. Doty and Mr. We]lner are getting into with strange lot sizes. It looked like the 3,OOQ sq. ft. lot area in R-3 was written for a 3-piex and 4-plexes were not taken into consideration. PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 9, 1982 PAGE 8 Ms. Schnabel recommended that #1 under 217.045 Zero Lot Lines be changed as follows: 211,045 ZERO LOT LINES 1. The City may approve subdivisions for the deveiopment of zero lot line, comnon wall residential structures. These lots shall be divided equally as is reasonab]y possible within the restrictions of the existing guidelines of the zoning ordinance. MOTION BY MR. OpUIST� SECONDED BY MR.

Ms, van Dan stated the Accessibility Project Committee has met at least twice since these minutes were written. As of a week ago, they had attained almost a 30� return of the surveys. She wouid anticipate an even higher return than 30% because there seems to be a pretty good response. She stated Julee Quarve- Peterson has been having contact with the Fridley Sun, and there have been excelient articles on the National Year for the Disabled. The�e has also been a program on cabte TV. Ms. van Dan stated she has been i�f�rmed that on Monday night, the City Council decided the City would provide no funding to any funding requests. The Comnission now has the sad task of writing to SACA, Central Center ior Family Resources, Alexandra House, and some af the others informing them of this action. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 9, 7982 PAGE 9 Mr. Francis van Dan stated that because of the pressing human needs and the unavailability of funds, it might be feasi6le for the Human Resources Commission to suggest that these organizations apply to private foundations, such as the McKnight Foundation and the Dayton Corp. He asked if the Planning Commission would be willing to endorse suth applications to give them more weight and also recomnend that the City Council e�dorse them? Ms. Schnabel stated it was a good point. She would guess that most of these organizations have tapped every available resource there is, but the Human Resources Comnission could discuss this suggestion. If the Human Resources Commission decides they would like to see the City endorse applications, then the Human Resources Comnission should pass a resolution �o go through Planning Commission to City Council.

SABA� TO RECESVE TXE MRY 11� 1982� COMMUNITY DEVEZAPMENT COMMISSION MINUTES, Mr. Oquist stated the Commission had an interesting presentation on Truth in Sales of Housing Dy Bob lines from the City of Minneapolis. Mr. Oquist stated the Canmission has been asked to get an opposite viewpoint on Truth in Sales of Housing, and they hope to have someone do that at their July meeting. Because of that, the Cortmission will withdraw their motion to City Council recanmending that a Truth in Sales of Housing ordinance be developed for the City of �ridley. Mr. Doty stated there are some negative aspects to Truth in Sales of Housing. He stated the Truth in Sales of Housing ordinance requires that before a house can be sold, the owner must have the house checked for those things that are hazardous, not up to code, and comnents. The ordinance requires these things be displayed before a property is offered for sale through a broker. He stated he is not opposed to the concept, but he felt the disadvantage was that the checklist was disarming to potential buyers. People look at the list and assume that anything that isn't on the checklist is all right. That is not the case. There is nothing that guarantees that if something is not on the list, it is all right. He stated they are having lawsuit after lawsuit because of this, He stated it would be his recommendation that instead of Truth in Sales of Housing, the Cortmunity Development Corrmission consider a comnliance certi- ficate which is used by the City of New Hope. Mr. Oquist stated they would take that suggestion into consideration. UPON A VOICE VOTE� RLL VOTING AYE, CHASRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Right now, they have been attempting to do this manually, and Mr. Oeblon has been doing a lot of work in that respect, but it is essential to have computer time. He stated he wouid call the PTanning Commission's attention to the motion made by the Energy Commission on page 3 urging the City Council to encourage city management to give some priority to the use of canputer time for the energy accountin9 system.

OTHER BUSINESS: a, Cortmission Field Trips Ms, Schnabel stated she vrould tike to get some reaction from the Planning Comnission members as to whether they fe'!t it would be worthwhile to take some time as a commission with some staff inembers and visit some �ther communities to see how other communities actually handle some of the things the Planning Commission is facing in Fridley; for exampie, the zero lot tine issue. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN6 JUNE 9, 1982 PAGE 11 Ms. Schnabel stated she was bringing this up because she has a friend on the Coon Rapids Planning Commission, and they do it at least once a year. She stated she fe7t it would be very w�rthwhile for the Planning Cortmission to do this, and it wou7d give them a better visual perspective on some of the things they have caning before them as a commission. Ms. Gabel stated she thought it was a good idea. It would give them a feel of what is going on in other comnunities and how other communities handle different situations, The other Comnissioners agreed it was a good idea. Ms. Schnabel stated she would talk to Mr. Boardman about it and work on arranging some kind of tour, b. Election of Planning Commission 4ice-Chairperson Ms. Schnabel stated the Planning Cortmission should elect a new vice- chairperson at their next meeting. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION BY MR.

ACCESSIBIUTY SURVEY PROJECT COhU1ITTEE UPDATE - ROBERT MINTON: Mr. Minton stated the Committee was established in April and since then, they have done a 1ot of work. The Comnittee usually meets at Village 6reen, They have a very good comnittee, There are sane handicapped people on the Comnittee, and Julee Quarve-Peterson, who has expertise in the field, is a member of the Caimittee. He stated the Carrnittee has a lot of enthusiasm, and they all seem to be very interested in the whole project. Mr. Minton stated that when the Comnittee was formed, Staff set a timetable, and the 6arenittee has met the timetable items up to the present time. Mr. Minton stated the Comnittee's first task was to construct a questionnaire. They did this, and the uestionnaire was mailed on May 6 to 119 building owners in the City of Fridley �only 11U of those buildings were valid for various reasons.} He stated they had received a return of 30%, and then they had a telephone follow-up. Five people from tfie Committee volunteered to do the telephoning. Because of the telepfione follow-up, they have now received 59 returns out of 110. Of the 51 buildings that are left, the Cotmnittee will do a follow-up on site about the middle of July. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 10, 1982 PAGE 2 Mr. Minton stated they intend to have their data base pretty well canpteted by the end of Ju1y. They have looked at several samples of accessibility handbooks for other cities, and they chose the foimat of the handbook used in Gainesville, Ftorida. They chose it for several reasons: (1) it looked simple; (2) was a good size--could fit into pocket or purse easi7y; (3) wasn't fi77ed up with a lot of complicated technicalities about accessibility; (4) simple explanations about parking, entrance interior and restrooms. He stated the theme of the handbook w111 be simpticity, He stated that at the last meeting. they decided on sane things for the handbook. They are going to have a simple introduction� a list of drive- up telephones, mailboxes, and TDD's, a listing of a]1 buildings by various cate- gories, and there wiTl be some other area resources for handicapped peopie. He stated Ms. Cayan is assembling a list of these resources through another cortanittee. Ms, van Dan suggested the Cortmittee consider including in the resource list the telephone numbers of signers for the hearing impaired. Ms. Cayan stated that was a very good idea. Mr, Minton stated the City of Frid7ey has a]so decfded to enter into a tontract to have the public bu9ldings assessed for accessibility by Julee Quarve-Peterson. The information about those buildings will be inctuded in the handbook. Mr. Minton stated the different categories that will be included in the handbook are: AparUeents Churches Financial Institutions Groceries Hea)th care (hospita]s, Office buildings Public buildings (savings & loan, drive-up, instant cash locations) medical c]inics) Recreation (4fi park facilities) Restaurants/Bars Retail stores/shopping centers Schoois Mr. Treuenfels stated there shouTd probably be some cross referencing; for example, Banks - see Financial Institutions. Mr, Minton stated they have made presentations to four groups in the corc�nunity-- the Jaycees, Kiwanis, Chamber of Camierce, and the Ministerial Association, He stated they have had publicity in the Fridley Sun (a feature article) and a news program on Channet 3 on cabte TV. Mr, Minton stated that right now they are fundraising. The cost of putting handbook together is 53,700. They are going to various camrunity groups and nsking for contributions to this project. He stated that at this time, they received $1,OOD in contributions--from the VFW Post #�363 and thp YFW Ladies Auxiliary �F363. the have NUMAN RESOURCES COM�ISSION MEETING JUNE"10, 1982 PAGE 3 Mr. Treuenfels suggested the Committee also go to corporate foundations such as Medtronics, FMG, and Onan in their fundraising efforts. Mr. Minton stated that was a good suggestion. Mr. Minton stated they are planning on printing 7,000 copies of the handbook. They want a printing that will last for about two years, They are estimating that amourtt fram the number of handicapped people probably in the community at the present time, plus businesses, real estate businesses, and others who would like them, with sane distribution outside the caronunity that might be of advantage to businesses in the community. Mr. Minton stated that at last night's meeting, the entire Connnittee received accessibility survey training from Ju)ee Quarve-Peterson, so the Cortmittee members are all capable of doing on-site surveying. Mr. Minton stated that also at ]ast night's meeting, they approved the sending out of individualized letters to bui7ding owners and business owners in the comnunity. The letters will Contain the evaluation of the survey returns, will indicate information the building owners may need, and will have information about what building owners can do to make their buildings fully accessible, including where they can get further information. Mr. Minton stated the intention of the project is to be of assistance as well as an information-exchange project for handicapped peopie. He stated what is left to comple*_e the project is to assess the surveys that are in, assess the 51 bui]dings that are left, and construct the handbook. Mr. Minton stated being involved in the Comnittee has been a pleasant experience and a learning experience for him. He stated it has been a real pleasure working with staff inembers, Mary Cayan and Scott Wheeler, who have put in meny extra hours on the project. Ms. van Dan stated the amount of work that has been accomplished by this Committee in such a short time is fantastic. She stated the project committee was a]so very fortunate to have Bob Minton as chairperson. She thanked him for caning and giving this report. 2. SECTION 504 COMPLIANCE STUDY AUtHORIZATION (June 3, 1982, Memo from John Flora): MOTSON 8Y MR, TREUENFBLS, SECONDSD BY MR. GOODSPfiED� TO RECEIVE THfi M6M0 DATED JUNB 3� 1982� FROM JOHN FLORA, � UPDN A VOICS YOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CXAIRPF,RSON VAN DAN DECLARSD TXE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. van Dan stated two years ago, the Camnissi�n members did accessibility surveys of the city-rnmed buildings. They completed the study and presented it through the minutes to the Planning Comnission and City Council with a recommendation that the corrections be made, but the Commission had no authority, other than telling the City what things needed to be done in compliance with 504. HUMAN RESOURCES COM�ISSION_MEETING, JUNE 10, 1982 PAGE 4 Ms. van Dan stated Ms. Cayan did quite a bit of background work in finding out what it would cost, but �ega7ly it required an architect to devetop the pian far programning. She stated this letter from John Flora was reminding the City Manager that there were sane funds available through the Comnunity Development BTock Grant program. Ms. Cayan stated the Commission did a good job in surveying; however. there are three canponents to meei the legal requirements. In addition to physical barriers being outlined, they have to look at the City's compliance as far as personnel poticies, programning as far as the Parks & Recreation Department and some of the other programming ofi'ered by the City. So, the City really needs saneone with expertise in 504 to know those particular components. kOTION SY 11R, TREUENFELS� SfiCONDSD 8Y 11Qi.

MOTION BY XR. TREUSNFELS� SfiCONDBD SY MR. GOOASPEED� TO RECfiIVS THE LETTER FROM ST. PHILIP'S LfITBERAN CNURCH�.' � UPON A VOICE VOTfi, ALL VOTING RYE� CAAIRPERSON VAN AAN DECLARED TAE MOTION CARRIED UNANINOUSLY. Ms. Cayan stated St. Philip's has been working for over a year on a proposal to be submitted to the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) in canpetition for some of the 202 funding that is going to be available for the metropolitan area. HUD wi17 fu�d a total of five projects in the metropolitan area. There wfll be three proposals submitted from Anoka County. She showed the Comnission a site plan of the proposed development. Ms. Cayan stated HUD is looking for a sponsor that has a solid financfinl standing. St. Phitip's is requesting support fran the Human Resources Co�mnission on this project. St. Philip's is asking various organizations to do this. The Commission members agreed to send a letter of sup ort to St. Philip's based on the following reasons: �1) hwnanitarian reasons; (�2) a need in Fridley for further housing for the etderly and disabled, as suggested by Metropolitan Councii, and this proposed project would be a step in thnt direction; (3) St. Philip's history of camiuntty involvement. Based on these reasons, the Commission agreed that in closing, they woutd like to strongiy encourage St. Philip's in the develop- ment of the Conqregate Housing project, and would tike to express their best wishes for the success of this project. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 10, 1982 PAGE 5 Mr. Treuenfels suggested that another letter be sent to Karen Leske, President, Board of Administration, asking her to keep the Comnission informed. 4. SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS fUNDING pROPOSALS: DISCUSSION Ms, van Dan stated she was not present at the June 7 City Council meeting but was informed that the City Council made a motion to stop the funding of agencies at this time and not to appropriate any funds for 1983. 5he stated she was very unhappy that this went through as a blanket refusal for any funding requests. Mr, Boergerhoff stated that if funding has been eliminated entirely, it might be very difficult for the Conxnission or anyone to justify the renewal of that money next year. Mr. Treuenfels stated he felt this motion applies only to 1983 and does not say anything for subsequent years, so he feit there was roan for further discussion in the years to come. He stated it seemed the decision was made rather hastiry, and it was too bad the Human Resources Comnission was not even notified that this item was on the Council agenda. Mr. Treuenfels stated the aspect he personally minded the most was the timing. These organizations have just gone through the process of preparing grant applica- tions which involves a lot of time, work, and money in getting all their financial data together for the Corrmission as the deadline was June ]. And then, on June 7,this decisi�n was made by the Ciiy Council. He stated it would have been much fairer to have made this decision on no funding last October so that everyone would have known where things stood. Ms. van Dan stated the thing that really bothers her is that if the City Council was going to make this decision, they should have done it in May before the organizations put the time and effort into developing their grant applications and information for the Comnission. Ms, van Dan stated she did a quick review of the grant applications and the Central Center for Family Resources has many resources. The $5,000 they are requesting frqm Fridley is a very small amount canpared to the amounts they are requesting fran other sources: United Way -$18,000; Fees -$6,000; City of Spring Lake Park -$5,000; City of Blaine -$5,000; State of Minnesota -$5,000; VF�1 -$3,�40; other organizations and corporate support -$6,000. However, the Central Center for family Resources does serve many Fridley people. Ms. van Dan stated that according to the financial information received from The Alexandra House, Inc., it looked as though they had a$36,000 surplus as of Oecember 31, 1981. Ms. van Dan stated that in the past the North Suburban family Center received money from the Anoka County State Block Grant. They used to get $24,000; that has been cut to $18,000, with the possibility it will be cut again. They have also requested and received in the past monies from United Way, private founda- tions, the cities of Blaine, Anoka, and Coon Rapids. HUMAN RESOURCES CO�IMISSION MEETIN6, JtlNE 10 19$2 PA6E 6 Fls. Cayan stated that it was her understanding the county nnd state mon�es are used to serve any county resident. Once those general monies run out (and this year they run out in June), residents from Fridley will no longer be served a sliding scale fee basis by the North Suburban Family Center if fridley dcesn't contribute. If the general funding is cut back, then perhaps by April or May 1983, Fridley residents wi11 no longer be eligible for reduced fee services. Ms. van Dan stated the Creative Ptay Center has spent a lot of ti� and money in providing reports to the Cortmission almost monthly. They had an actual income of �75,000 for 87-82 and for 83, they had proposed a cut in their budget, so they were actually expecting less from the City than they did last year. Ms. van Dan stated the organizatfion she had the most concern for was SACA. She was very concerned that SACA was included in the blanket decision, as there is a need being met by this organization that no other group meets. Mr. Boergerhoff stated that for several of these organizations. the approach is preventative in the sense that counseling services are available. He felt if the preventative measures are not available, in many cases, the PoTice Departments and correctional facilities wi11 be picking up in the future with increased problems that might have been avoided with the preventative approach through many of these programs. In that sense, he felt city funding was very vaTid and was money we11 spent. Mr. Goodspeed.stated he felt the City had its priorities a11 mixed up. Ms. van Dan stated she was angry in that the priorities in the City may not always be addressed to tfie people who have the greatest needs. With the current rate of u�employment and unemployement funds running out, people have greater needs. The greater needs are going to cause greater stresses, the greater stresses are going to cause need for psychological and mental health services and preventative programs. Altogether, they are going to result in more problems for the City of frid7ey. She felt $l0,OD0 from the City of Fridley would be put to better use in being directed to this particular area than in some other areas. Mr. 7reuenfels agreed that money spent now in a preventative way would be far better spent than money that would have to be spent after something has happened-- money spent by the Police Department, court systems,�etc. He thought this was one of the reasons why Tim Turnbutl and athers in the Police Department were so interested in the Central Center for Family Resources because of this preventative aspect. Ms. Noble stated that in addition to the timing� not only was this decision made by the City Councit without consulting the Human Resources Cammission or any other citizen body in estabtishing priorities for city spending, but she d9d not feel any consideration was taken of the consequences of this decision, Other government bodies usually have staff make an impact statement on the consequences of such an action before taking the action, so the decision is an informed decision. She did not think the City Gouncil had taken the time to took at that end of their decision. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 10, 1982 PAGE 7 Mr. Treuenfels agreed. He stated he has always advocated that before a decision is made of such a nature that the consequences of various approaches be studied first, and then the decision be made. Ms. van 4an stated the Commission now has the task of regretfully informing the organizations that on June 7 the City Council made the decision that no funding will be available for the fiscal year 1983. Ms. Cayan stated she had also just received a letter fran Dr. Baumer of the Family Life Center requesting funding. Ms. van Dan stated at the Planning Cort�nission meeting the evening before, the suggestion was made by her husband, Francis van Dan, that considering the fact that the City Council was not going to be funding any organizations, maybe the Human Resources Commission should encourage each of these groups to approach public funding, such as the McKnight Foundation, or some canpanies. She stated that, to the best of her knowledge, most of these organizations are contacting all possible funding sources. MOSION BY MR. TREUENFELS� S&CONDED BY MS.

Mr. Treuenfels suggested the Commission go ahead at their July meeting and consider the grant applications they have received, being cognizant of the City Council's action, but making recommendations as they have in the past and possibly asking the City Council to reconsider their action.

UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CXAIRPERSON OQUIST DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. �. IfICAT FRIDLEY C Mr. Boardman stated Staff has been thinking for some time of some way to handle zero lot line development or even if they want zero lot line development. The City is having a lot of requests at this point in time for duplexes or tri-plexes that are set up in a townhouse-type of manner to split the unit so both sides of the unit can be separate ownership, rather than going to a condominium form of ownership. Generally, the plan is to split the lot so the land under one unit plus a certain amount of the tot goes with the land under the unit so the land and part of the unit can be sold separately, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 8, 1982 PAGE 2 Mr. Boardman stated that one of the reasons he was caning before the Community Development Conrrnission was to get sane kind of "feel" from the Comnission, not so much on the ordinance or the process, but on the concept of zero lot line and the concept of this type of ownership of housing. Is it a good thing for the City of Fridley, and should the City be looking for this kind of thing to be happening in the next few years? Mr. Boardman stated one of the goals in the Comprehensive Plan is to provide a diversity of housing and the opportunity for that diversity of housing to take place. In his opinion, since sing]e family housing is probably going to be more and more expensive to buy and operate, young and old are going to be looking for housing that is more affordable. He thought duplexes and multiple housing was going to be the answer to that, and he thought it was going to take place, He stated it is happening in other communities in the metropo7itan seven-county area--Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids, Plymouth, Shakopee, Burnsville, Bloomington-- all allow zero lot line dwellings. They are called "twin homes". Mr. Boardman stated they are looking at how they can allow this to happen and still keep the process simple. He stated they looked at going with zoning. If they go with any approval process, they have to have either a platting process or a 1ot spiit process. If they went with zoning, special use permit, or any other control, they would stil7 have to go through a lot split or platting process. Since a plat requires a public hearing and a lot split does not require a public hearing and a lot split is generally for existing housing, Staff decided the best way to go was to put it into the platting ordinance. Mr. Boardman stated they felt the districts they should be involved with as far as zero lot lines was not necessarily single family or R-1. They should be in R-2 or R-3. Those areas have the'density anyway. The whole purpose of zoning is to contro] density and not necessarily to control the types of ownerships. The only difference is that in that area, two families are al7owed and those t�o families have to be on 10,000 sq. ft. So, why not alTow that to be split where there are two families, the two families are still on 10,000 sq, ft.so they don't change the density, and all they are doing is changing the ownership within that lot. Mr. Boardman stated another thin9 they will be seeing is quad homes, homes that are developed on a plus axis. This is also happening all over the Twin Cities, He stated this ordinance wou7d also allow quad homes in R-3. Mr. Oquist stated he could see nothing wrong with the zero lot line concept and could see no reason not to allow it in R-2 and R-3. There seemed to be no disadvantages. Ms. Gustafson agreed, but she stated she would be concerned that this concept be used to further home ownership opportunities in the City of Fridley and not be rushed through in order to satisfy a person or persons within the City.

NEI6HBORHOOD PROJECT COMMITTEE: SCOPE AND TIMETABLE DEVELOPMENT Ms. Cayan stated the City Council had concurred with the Commission's recomnenda- tian to establish a neighborhood project committee to study the neighborhood concept in Fridley, and the City Council had directed the Commission to develop a scope and timetable for the project committee, along with making suggestions of names of people to appoint to the project cortanittee. Mr. Oquist stated it would be his recanmendation to drop the neighborhood project committee idea. He stated the project committee would only be as canmitted as the neighborhood, and how do people get neighborhoods involved? Ms. Cayan stated she understood the purpose of the project canmittee would be to do a feasibility study on whether the neighborhood idea would work in Fridley. The purpose is not to promote the development of neighborhoods per se, althoughc that might be the conclusion and recomnendation of the project committee. Ms. Gustafson stated two neighbors 7iving side by side are going to have different ideas about a neighborhood, and she felt defining a neighborhood and naming a neighborhood were a waste of time. Everybody in a neighborhood, by their own interests, acitivites, and associations, already defines that neighborhood. Mr. Oquist stated there is also the high turnover in neighborhoods, so how do they get a true feeling of a neighborhood? He stated it is not like it used to be years ago with the ethnic neighborhoods. Dr. Vos stated that the town meeting would give an excellent opportunity for feedback from the citizens about the neigfiborhoods. So, if he was going to put any effort into anything,he would rather put that effart into the town meeting rather than the neighborhood concept. Ms. Gustafson stated she was in favor of discontinuing the idea of forming a neighborhood pro3ect committee to study the neighborhood concept. MOTION BY DR.

Mr. Oquist stated he thought the neighborhood concept was a good concept, but to make something like that work, he felt the request had to come from the �omnunity. CONII�IUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 8, 1982 PAGE 4 3. FRI�LEY TOWN MEETING: SCOPE DEVELOPMENT Mr. Oquist stated they have discussed this at 3-4 meetings, They had Larry Olson Chairperson of the New Brightan Study Comnittee, talk to the Commission about New Brighton's town meeting. He now felt it was time to talk to the City Council and see if the City Council was really interested in taking the time to have a town meeting. Ms. Gustafson stated that when they present this idea to the City Council, the Canmission should have a well-formulated plan with perhaps suggestions for discussion topics for a town meeting. Then, the Commission can discuss it with the Council and tell the City Council what work the Comnission is willing to do. She stated she would be willing to discuss this with City Council at their next conference meeting. Dr, Vos listed some of the commitments the City Council would have in putting on a town meeting: 1. A time cort�nitment--time for the meeting and preparation time 2. Agreement of topics to be presented and discussed 3. WiTtingness to prepare for one discussion topic 4. A cost commitment (student internship?) Dr. Vos stated some of the responsibilities and commitments for the Commission would be: 1. 2. 3. 4, 5. Prepare a tight statement of responsibility for either an intern or a project canmittee. A Comnission member to act as liaison between intern or project committee and Commission At town meeting, Commission members should be heavi]y involved and should be visible, possibly acting as presiders of discussion time, introduce City Council members, give a commission report. Suggest discussion topics for City Council members. Personal publicity--willingness to speak to civic groups and organizations about town meeting. Ms. Gustafson stated their main goal with the town meeting is to make the comnissions and the City Council more visibte and to make what the City Council is doing more visible. Dr, Vos stated another goal is that the reason for the town meeting is to get citizen input. Mr, Oquist stated they should also highlight to the City C arncil what Mr. Olson told them about New Brighton's town meeting, Ms. Cayan stated she would get this on the agenda for the City Council conference meeting on June 28. COMI�INITY DEVELOPMENT CON�IISSION MEETING, JUNE 8, 1982 P_AGE _5 4. OTHER BUSINESS: a. Truth in Sales of Housing Ms. Cayan stated that at the 7ast meeting, the Cortmission had made a motion to recommend to the City Council that a Truth in Sa7es of Housing ordinance be developed for the City of Fridley. She stated she has received a cortunent from John Flora, Director of Public Works, that since Mr. Bob Lines' position is to promote the Truth in Sales of Housing program in Minneapolis, the Commission may want to get an alternate opinion and viewpoint of the Truth in Sales of Housing before the Commission initiates this type of ordinance. Mr. Oquist stated he felt Mr. Lines gave a very good presentation with both the pros and cons. Dr. Vos agreed, but he stated he would be willing to listen to another viewpoint. Ms. Cayan stated she would contact the City of Minneapolis and try to have someone at the July Commission meeting to give another viewpoint on Truth in 5ales of Housing. ADJOUR�JMENT: MOTION BY MR.

C, ADMINiSTRATZVE STAFF REVIEW: The existi� dwelling was built in 1956 tivith a 35 foot £ront yard setback. In 1976, the City improved 71y Way and 9 feet of this property was taken for street right of sray, leaving the existing house 27.9 feet fram the front property line. The proposal is b� build a 12 foot deck and front step off the front of the dwellinq which would leave a 15 foot front yard. The adjacent structures to the east and west aze over 100 feet from this addition so this deck should not encroach into tl�eir "line of sight", There is an apparent problem wer the westerly 10 feet of Lot 32, Auditor's Subdivision #77. The City approved the lot split (L.S.#73-07) in June, 1973. For s�ne reason the transfer of the 10 feet of land was r�ever recorded at the County. Therefore we have told Mr. Nielsen that the staff report xould be recommending to the Hoard that his petition be oontinued until proper recording has been accomplished.

Caianunication - Les Gerdin Dr. Boudreau stated he has received a letter dated May 19, 1982, from Les Gerdin, the Treasurer of the Fridley Covenant Church Athletic Association. In the letter, Mr. Gerdin stated they have very much PARKS & RECREATION COPIMISSION MEETING JllNE 1 1982 PAGE 2 appreciated the kindness and cooperation extended to their athletic association by the Fridley Parks & Recreation Department. Mr. Gerdin stated they will not be holding a softball tournament this year at Carmons Park; however, they would like to hold the option open to hold a tournament in the future. Dr. Boudreau stated the Fridley Covenant Church is one of the four recognized tournaments that has beeo allowed in the City in the past by City Council. The reason Fridley Covenant Church will not be holding their tournament this year is because a church in another community is hosting the tournament, but they would like to keep the option open to stay as one of the four recognized tournaments in the City of Fridley. The other three are the Firefighters' Relief Association, the Jaycees, and the Fridley Tiger Hockey Booster Club. MOTION BY MS. SCHREINER� SECONDED BY MR.

Ms. Schreiner stated that if they were to have other requests, was there any problem with having more requests than the four already recognized? Dr. Boudreau stated that in the six years he has been with the City of Fridley, there has only been one private group, outside of the four recog- nized non-profit groups, that made a request to host a tournament. It was the considered opinion of the Parks & Recreation Comnission that this request be denied, because it would make five tournaments. However, one of the four recognized groups decided not to host a tourn�eaent, so the City Council did allow this private group to host their tournament. How- ever, the City Council has looked at non-profit organizations as legitimate hosts for softball tournaments and not private groups.

Correction to May 19, 1982, Planning Corrmission minutes Dr. Boudreau referred to the May 19th Planning Comnission minutes, paqe 9, Item 4, "Receive May 4, 1982, Parks & Recreatien Cortmission minutcs", He stated that ir paragraph 3, Ms. Gabel had asked Mr. Kondrick how the Parks & Recreation Department handles the process when people cannot afford to participate in city programming. Mr. Kondrick had stated there was a form that has to 6e fiiled out, but the Parks & Recreation Department has anly four people on record who have signed up saying they are unable to pay for the programming, and most people usually offer ta pay something. Mr. Kondrick had also stated that the City advertises that if people cannot afford programming, it can be worked out. Ms. Gabel had stated that the recent sumner Parks & Recreation program brochure did not have such a statement which bothered her. P_ARKS & RECREATION COMMTSSION MEETING, JUNE 7, 1982 PAGE 3 Dr. Boudreau gave each of the Commission members a copy of the page entitled, "Registration" which was included with the summer Parks & Recreation program brochure and which is included with every program brochure and has been ever since City Council approved that policy. He stated he wanted to ca71 the Parks & Recreation Cortenission and Planning Gommission's attention to Item (D) "Fee Adjustment", which states: "No individual shall be restricted fran participation due to inability to pay. For future information, please contact the Park, Recreation, and Natural Resource Department." Mr. Kondrick thanked Dr. Boudreau far bri�ging that to their attention. 2. NEW BUSINESS: a. Department Operating Policy Manual Ms. Schreiner stated that recently she had asked Dr. Boudreau for a copy of the Parks & Recreation Department's policy manual. She stated she was surprised to learn that the Parks & Recreation Department does not have a policy manual. She stated almost every board or group she has been associated with has had some type of policy manual that contains some basic guidelines for the group to follow. She felt a policy manual would help City staff, the Commission, and would be a great service to the citizens. She felt the Canmission should discuss the possibility of putting together such a manual and asked how the other Commission members fe7t about this. Mr. Kondrick stated he felt it was a great idea. Mr. Young agreed. Dr. Boudreau stated he was a strong backer of this type of operational manual, Mr. Young suggested that Dr. Boudreau park departments in other communities together a policy manual for Fridley. get sane policy manuals from other to use as a guideline in putting Dr. Boudreau stated there are seven or eight different areas that would have to be covered in the policy manual. He would like to have input from the Commission members on those areas, and Staff could come up with a recommendation for the basic policies within about six months. He stated he would bring some sample policy manuals from other communities to the next meeting, and he would aiso prepare a simple format for the Canmission to follow. Proposed Capital Outlay Items for 1983 Dr. Boudreau stated that, as the Cmrmission members knew, the Park & Recreation Commission's charter ca11s for their concurrence on capital outlay itens for the coming year to be submitted as part of the budget, PARKS & RECREATION COhiMISSION MEETING JUNE 1 1982 PAGE 4 (The proposed capital outlay request for 1983 is attached to these minutes.) Dr. Boudreau stated he would like to encourage the Canmission mem6ers to ]ook over these items. If they come up with any questions, additions, etc., he would ask them to write these down under the appropriate division so the Camnissian can make reco�nendations at the July meeting. c. Renewal of Lease with Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for Git Hodges Island Dr. Boudreau stated he saw no reason not to renew the lease with DNR for Gil Hodges Island, because it is part of the Islands of Peace development. The lease is for ten years. He fett it added to the City's park syst�n. It was under the Caunty's maintenance and operational control because of the joint powers agreement, so it did not cost the City anything to have it known as part of the City's park syst�n.

Housing & Redevelopment Authority Center City Project - Jerrold Boardman Mr. 8pardman stated the Corrmission had asked him to come to this meeting to discuss the Center City project. He stated he would also outline all the tax increment districts so the Conxnission members were aware of everything that is going on. Mr. Boardman stated the Center City project was the first tax increment district established in 1978. The Moore Lake Redevelopment District was the second tax increment district established in May 1981, and the North Area Redevelopment District was the third tax increment district established in Nov. 1981. Mr. Young stated that no one seems to know what is going on. He knew of ane businessman adjacent and directly affected by the new proposed Columbia Park medical faci7fty who knew nothing about what was going on. He asked why the people who are directly involved are not notified. Mr. Boardman stated the people who are directly involved in the Center City project and all business people were notified when the district was established. The Chamber of Commerce was involved in the establishment of the district, notices were published in the papers, and public hearings were held for all three districts. PARKS & RECREATION COMh1ISSI0N MEETING, JUNE 1 1982 PAGE 5 Mr. Young stated he knew people who live one block fran the Center City project who know nothing about what is going on. There have been no neighborhood meetings to notify these people. Mr. Boardman stated that when the district was established, they notified people within 350 ft. of the district. This is the process they are required to follow by law in the development of the districts. Mr. Boardman stated the Center City project area was established because they felt there were some major problems in this area--deterioration of buiidings, placement of buildings, traffic problems, inappropriate use of lands, etc. The assessed values in this area are depreciating, and the utilization of land is probably less than it should be. Mr. Boardman stated that in the Moore Lake area, there are bad soil conditions, drainage conditions, and the clean-up of Moore Lake is a big issue in this area. Mr. Boardman stated the North Area is probably the least planned district at this time. The primary reasons it was established as a tax increment district were (1) because of the pressures of state law in the changing of tax increment districts; and (2) if they felt there was a need for a tax increment district due to bad soil conditions, this was an area with very bad soil, They also have enormous drainage problems in this area. He stated they are working with Mr. St, Clair and Dr. Boudreau to see h�w the tax increment district can assist Springbrook Nature Center as far as soil removal, dredging, etc., because by assisting in the park, they are also assisting in the overall drainage problems. Mr. Boardman stated they are working on several different proposals in the Center City project at this time. They have earmarked six phases in the development. Those phases are the areas that need the most amount of work. He stated the one thing they are trying to do is develop an overall element so people will know they are in a cohesive, we17 designed area. Mr. Boardman stated that south of City Hall, they have contracted with Columbia Park Properties to build a 28,000 sq. ft. clinic with an option for an additional 28,000 sq, ft., for a total of 56,000 sq. ft. Mr. Boardman stated they are looking at an urban density in the Center City district, something that will be a benefit to the City and wi71 draw residents to use the facilities. In order to do that, they have to develop some density in the area. They are looking at relocating 64th Ave., narrowing it down to a 26 ft. wide service road, putting a bend or curve in it to service the clinic, and freeing up space to develop a 36,000 sq. ft, office building that will be in conjunction with City Hall and the clinic. PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 1, 1982 PAGE 6 Mr. Boardman stated that as part of this development. they are ]ookinq at doing a civic plaza or mall area in this general location. They have just gone out with a landscape architect competition. They have selected four firms who will be competing for $1,000 to do a design. The design will include a model of the plaza. They are looking at a p]aza site that is going to cannect City Hatl with the office building and the clinic. Besides the plaza area, they are also doing a scheme for development of the entire greenway system. At this point in time, they are looking at a round $500,000 for this design. Ms. Schreiner asked if the City was addressing the potential traffic problems in this area. Mr. Boardman stated they are addressing that issue and are in the process of getting a traffic design engineer to study the major traffic points and how to handle the traffic flow. Mr. Young asked about parking. Mr. Boardman stated that with the office and City Ha71, they figure they will need about 150 parking stalls. Mr. Kondrick asked if Mr. Boardman felt the loss of Eisenhower Park was necessary in the overall scheme of the developnent. Mr. Boardmah stated it was. He stated Eisenhower Park is a very nice area, but in the development of their overall scheme, they need to have a density, so they are taking the park area to make it a more usable space. Mr. Boardman stated they are talking about a highly developed, but also an interesting, intriguing landscaped area, With the plaza area, they are looking at something that will hold a function of about 150-200 people, they want public and private spaces, probably have retaining walls, planters, and that kind of thing,but there will also be quite a bit of green spaces. There will be a combination of soft and hard spaces. Ms. Schreiner asked what the the business people already building are going in. City has been doing in relocating or helping located in this area where the clinic and office Mr. Boardman stated the City is required by law to pay re7ocation costs. They are also trying to keep those businesses in Fridley if they can. They have been forward and very upfront with the business people in trying to assist them, wherever and however possible, but there are going to be certain businesses they wi71 not be able tn relocate in Fridley. Mr. Young stated he was not so opposed to this development now that Mr. Boardman had explained all the parkway that is being planned. _ __ . . . . ._... .. ._ _ . _ _ PARKS & RECREATION COMMiSSION MEETING; JUNE'1, 1982 pAGE 7 Mr. Boardman stated they are working with the UFW in the relocation of the monument and with the Garden Club for help in the plaza area. He stated Eisenhower Park will remain there until an office project can be put together. Right now the office pr�ject has not yet been canpleted. Ms. Schreiner stated from what she has heard, the City will not be enfringing on any more park area, and if they do, they will let the Caimission know. Mr. Boardman stated they are not trying to destroy any parks. Eisenhower Park is not necessarily a park facility. It was never dedicated as a park, but was held by the City for parking. The City didn't need the parking at the time, so it was made into a park until such a time as the expansion was needed. The main thing they are trying to develop is some kind of scheme in the Center City area, and in the other areas they are trying to assist the parks as much as possible. The Cormnissioners thanked Mr. Boardman for coming to the meeting and sharing this information with them. b. Request by Terry Merriman' Mr. Kondrick stated he had received a 7etter fran Mr. Dave Torkildson, �irector of Anoka County Parks & Recreation dated May 21, 1982, along with a copy of the trail plans for the Rice Creek Regional Trail, in order to clear up and state the County's intentions for the park land immediately behind the hanes on Rice Creek Terrace. Mr. Torkildson stated that: "the trail runs along the upper banks of the Rice Creek Valley, and it is the intention of the County Department to reforest the area directly south of said trail. We also agree that the flat land referred to as the Northern 5tates Power Line easement directly behind the hanes on Rice Creek Terrace wi17 he cut by the County of Anoka Park Department as needed. Future development plans would be to complete the bicycle trail to the north once money is made available fran Metro Council; and with the approval of the fridley Park Commission and the City Council, create a new entrance and parkway to service Locke Park picnic area. Unless future residents of Fridley or the City Council were to request the County to consider other developments along the Rice Creek park land, the County of Anoka Park Department has no addi- tional deve7opment plans for this area." Mr, Ko�drick stated a copy of this letter has gone to Mr. Merriman. He stated Mr. Torkildson has been very helpful in resolving this prob7em. 4. OTHER BUSINESS: a. Springbrook Nature Center Mr. Young stated that a couple of weeks ago a Special Education teacher fran the Spring Lake Park 5chool District took some trainable mentally handicapped students to Springbrook Nature Center. He stated the teacher was totally impressed with Mr. St. Clair and the program. PARKS & RECREATION CONlh1ISSI0lV MEETING, JUNE 1, 7982 PAGE 8 Mr, Kondrick stated that was good to hear, and he thought this was going to be typical of the results of the programming Mr. St. Clair and Ms. Diann Valen will be running. b. Commission Meeting Date Dr. Boudreau stated it seemed like it has been getting harder and harder to get a quorum for the monthly meetings. A short time ago, the Comnission members discussed an alternate meeting date and decided on the first Tuesday of the month, and still every month ii is a guessing game as to whether there will be a quorum, He stated he would like to suggest that the Comnission members consider whether it is a necessity to meet every month, especially during the surtwner months. There is no rule that says the Commission has to have monthly meetings, and they always have the ability to call a special meeting if an item needs atte�tion. He thought that if there were fewer meetings, perhaps there would be 100� attendance. Mr. Kondrick stated he felt that once a month is not that much of a"put out" for most people. He felt this is something the Co�nission members shoutd definitely discuss at the next meeting and hopefully all Commission members will be present. Tf the Commission is going to undertake the development of a policy manual, it is going to take some time, and he did not think they should be skipping any meetings. Qr. Boadreau stated he felt that if the Commission is going to function as a really working advisory commission and there are five people appointed to that canmission, then there ought to be input from five people. Ms, Schreiner stated she felt that if they only met once every month, they would lose impetus, and they lose what is happening, especia]ly if they do take on the policy manual project. Mr,Kondrick stated this would be on next month's agenda. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION BY MS. SCHREINfiR� SECONDED BY AII2. YOUNG� TO RDJOURN TNE MEETING.

VACATION REQUEST, SAV #82-01, BY THE FRIDLEY HOUSIN6 & REDEVELOPMENT ALiTAORI�Y: acate t 5treet etween o%� an , an t e 2 foot a e�iy in Block 4, Ree's Addition to Fridley Park. (Block 5 alley vacated Ordinance 208) (6alance of streets and alleys fran Mississippi to 64th Avenue vacated February 23, 1953, in Book 292, Page 219, Anoka County Records). Mr. Boardman stated this item was continued from the last meeting, He stated he has talked to the people who were in the audience at ihe June 9th meeting. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 23, 1982 Mr. Boardman stated that, as the Commission Was aware, the HRA was working with Columbia Park Properties on a medica] clinic. As a condition with Columbia Park Properties, the HRA needs to go through some vacations of property. The reason for the vacation is because they need to deed the property within the 4th St. right-of-way to Columbia Park Properties for the construction of their building. They have deeded all that property at this point in time to Columbia Park Properties. They have reached an agreement for negotiation for purchase with Mr. Gus Doty for the property he owns, Lots 4, 5, 6, 7-11. The HRA has an option on that property, and the HRA has approved the option and has approved the negotiated price. They are now in the process of getting the attorneys to give a title opinion on the updated abstract. Mr. Boardman stated it was his understanding from the City Counci7 on Monday that while the HRA was in the process of vacating 4th St., they should go ahead and vacate all the properties, because the HRA is committed with contract with Columbia Park Properties to purchase all of Block 4 and Block 5, They are required to purchase the easterly 1/2 of Block 4 within 240 days of the date of the contract, which was April 15; therefore, the property has to be acquired by Dec. 15 and turn title over to Columbia Park Properties. Mr.Boardman stated they have made an offer to the property �wners. That offer was out today, but it is a slow process. They have set up negotiation meetings for July 7 for the acquisition of the garage and the house-- 332 and 336 - 64th Ave. He stated they are required by contract to acquire the shopping center and Mr. Ryan's property and have that property torn down by July 1983 at the date of the opening of the clinic. They have held up with any neqotiations or appraisal on Mr. Ryan's property at the request of Mr, Ryan with the understanding that he does know the HRA wi11 start appraisa7 and acquisition on his property in Dec. or Jan. 1983. Mr. Boardman stated with this in mind and with a17 the other issues invo7ved within vacation, it is their intent to go ahead and at least go through the process of vacating all the property the HRA is in the process of acquiring. It was his understanding the City Council would like to see ihe process happen all at the same time; however, they are not going to be publishing the ordinance for vacation until the HRA actually owns the properties. The HRA will not cut off �y access or tear up any access on any property they do not own. For that reason, they are looking at the vacation of 4th St., except the northerly 100 ft. The reasom they don't need that 100 ft.is that, with the relocation of 64th Ave, per the overall development plan, they would use the northerly 100 ft. as street right-of-way; therefore, it is not necessary to vacate it. They would also like to see the alley vacated. Mr. Boardman stated that, at this time, the City Manager has directed him to also bring before the P7anning Comnission that portion of 64th Ave. between Block 5 and Block 2 of Ree's Addition to Fridley Park, Again, as he had said before, the reason the City Council wanted to do this is to get the process started, get the process out of the way, and then as the HRA purchases and owns the property, at that time the only �ocess left will be notification in the paper that the street is vacated. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 23, 1982 PAGE 3 Mr. Boardman stated he thought it should be a stipulation ef the Planning Commission that there will be no notification of the vacations �mtil the HRA acquires and owns the properties. He stated the City Council w�ll have the public hearing on July 12, and they will have the first and second readings some time after that. The City Council wi71 hold up on the publishing of the notice of vacation. The ordinance cannot go into effect until after publication in the paper. Fifteen days after the notification, the vacation goes into effect. Mr. Boardman stated he had talked to Mr. Harvey Peterson, legal counsel for Mr. Ryan, Mr. Peterson had suggested that as part of the vacation, the HRA or City Council have something in writing that says the alley will not be vacated until the HRA either acquires or takes an acquisition on the property. There- fore, the property owners would have full use of the alley, and it would not impede their access to their properties. Mr. Boardman stated he would be open, based on legal opinion from the City Attorney, to agreements for access, if agreements are necessary. Mr. Ryan stated he would like some kind of written agreement. Mr. Steve Hardel stated that besides guaranteeing his access to his garage, he would also like a guarantee that his garage is going to be able to remain open. With the plan to put in sewer and water and reroute 64th Ave., if he has no access to his front door, he has no business. Mr, Boardman stated what will affect Mr. Hardel's business the most is the con- struction that will be going on to put in a new 4th Street. He stated they will have to work with the contractors on this to maintain an opening for access to Mr. Hardel's garage. Mr. Ryan stated he has been in Fridley for 22 years and has built up a pretty good business. He just could not understand how somebody else in another business could come into the City of Fridley, say they want to build a clinic, choose whatever property they want, and then the existing buildings have to come down. It seemed to him that if someone wants to buy his property, that person/persons should come to him personally. Ms. Schnabel stated the members of the Planning Commission were very sympathetic to Mr. Ryan's concerns and what he is going througfi. She explained that one thing that happened several years ago was the City decided it needed to upgrade the "downtown Fridley", the most identifiable area being what is now the Center City area. In the process, because things were financially a lot 6etter at that time, the City re-established the HRA, identified some areas to be developed, and with a broad brush stroke, included a lot of land. Ms. Patty Hardel stated it seemed it would have been more feasible to put the clinic in an area where the City already owns the land, instead of acquir�ng more to give the clinic this site. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 23, 1982 PAGE 4 Mr. Boardman stated they did show the Columbia Park peop7e all the sites available in the City, and Columbia Park Properties selected the site they felt was the best for their business. He stated the clinic is a very stable business, and the City did not have to do a lot of promotion to develop or to maintain that clinic; however, in order to attract commercial/retail/office, they have to have visibility and easy access, so the property to the north of University would be a lot easier to promote for that kind of b�siness than the property south of City Hall.

RECEIVE JUNE 10, 1982, HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES: MOTION BY MS. VAN DAN� SECONDED BY MS. GABEL, TO RECEIVE THE JUNE Z0� 2982� HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES. Ms. van Dan stated the accessibility survey has been progressing very well. They have had over a 50% return. She stated the project should be completed by the end of August. Ms. van Dan stated the Corronission was quite upset when they were informed a few hours prior to their meeting that the City Counci] had decided not to fund any of the funding requests. The Commission was both angered and annoyed that the City Council had not made this decision earlier because the people took a lot of time to prepare their presentations. It was also a waste of the money they have so little of. Ms, van Dan stated the Commission has decided to continue to review the funding requests and make recommendation to the City Council that they reconsider their decision. She realized the funding requests are much 7arger than they have been in the past, but she would like the Planning Commission to know what these requests are: Central Center for Family Resources - requesting $5,000. In the past, 27% o t eir services ave een provi ed to Fridley residents; whereas, in the past Fridley has only funded 6-7%, so the City has not real7y offered them that much to start with. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 23, 1982 PAGE 5 North Subur6an Famil Services Center - requesting $3,000-6,000. They serve approximate y 20 rid ey resi ents on a subsidized sliding fee scale. Southern Anoka Communit Assistance (SACA) - requesting $2,500. They serve 3 5 ri ey resi ents out of a tota 887 so Frid7ey residents repre- sent almost 50q of the people served. The Alexandra House, Inc. - requesting $3,000. According to their statistics, t ere are 330 women in Fridley who are considered battered women, 20 of them have gone to Alexandra House for service. Their question is: Where do the other 310 go? Fridle Creative Pla Center - requesting $4,000. 64 of the 94 families serve are Fri ey resi ents. Ms. van Dan stated she was sure all of these organizations have gone to as many sources of funding as possible. Ms. van Dan stated the Commission would like to gather all the facts and have 5-6 good reasons why they think the funding requests should be reviewed. They are also reviewing the 1983 city budget very carefully. Some of the commissioners feel priorities may be high in certain areas, and maybe they can make some recommendations regarding the budget. Mr. Svanda stated he thought that rather than cutting the funding out entirely, the City Council should have looked at a gradual reduction. Cutting off those funds so abruptly cou7d have a gross impact on the people who were getting that funding. Mr, Oquist stated he did not know how the City Council could make such a decision like this without first sitting down and reviewing the city budget. How can they make pri�rities until they see what all the priorities are? his. van Dan stated she, Mr. Treuenfels, and Mr. Goodspeed attended the State Department of Human Right's No-Fault Grivance Procedure training session on June 19 at City Hall. She stated that if and when the City decides they would like to carry on with this program, the three commissioners are now certified to hear grievances.
