Mr. Len Schollen stated he would like to refer to page ]1, paragraph 3, of the
August 12th minutes where Mr. Boardman stated that "Len 5chollen, who owns Lennie's,
has found a building where he Moutd like to relocate." He stated that was not
correct. He stated at the time, Mr. Boardu�an had asked him if he had been looking
and he had said, yes, they had noticed one building that might be suitable. How-
ever, later investigation faund it was not suitable.
Mr. Schollen alsa referred to the last sentence in that paragraph which stated:
"He (Mr. Boardmanj stated they may want to start some relocation in lieu of rent,
but he wiTt have to look at each situation on an individual basis." Mr. Schollen
stated that accepting relocation in lieu of rent has no bearing at all on their
laundromat.
.
HOUSING R REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER i6 1982 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated what he was saying was if it is possible, at some point in
time. it may be more beneficial for the HRA to relocate in lieu of rent":
Mr. Schollen stated the statement sounded like he vrould accept relocation in
Tieu of space or rent, and that was not the case.
The HRA agreed

Mr. Schollen stated he has also been very concerned about the parking pr.oblems
for his customers because of the construction trailers since the rear parking l�t
has been closed, He stated his business has dropped 75� and Magic Swirl's has
dropped 50%. They are very anxious to either get the parking lot clear or be
relocated, With the situation the way it is now, when winter comes, they will
not even have that 25% of business.
Mr. Boardman stated he has been working with the contractor on the clinic to try
to get them to move their vehicles in order to free up some parking straight in
along the altey. One problem now is getting the houses off the lots. When that
is done, it will free up some more space to park construction vehicles. He stated
they are trying to work things out as quickly as possible.
Mr. Commers stated the best solution is to work with their consultant and try to
get these businesses relocated as soon as possible.

I. CENTER C1TY PROJECT
A. Office Building - Mark Haggerty
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Haggerty was bringing before the HRA a plan for
preliminary plan approva] of the design of the building and the location
of that design.
Mr. Naggerty stated they have modified the plans based on a lot of input
from the InterDesign people who wanted a much larger area to the west
for putting in some type of walkway. He stated they have changed the
plans to accommodate the architects, and they feel this design would
work just fine.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER }6 1982 PAGE 3
Mr. Haggerty stated that according to the contract agreement, he has
to have HRA approval of these plans. He stated there was a change in
tfie contract documents whicfi was in tfie HRA's favor. In reviewing the
documents, Mr. Herrick indicated the parking lot lease would be sub-
ordinated to the first mortgage.� When Mr. Herrick focused in on that,
he realized some of the consequences to the City. So, in negotiations,
Mr. Haggerty stated they have agreed to come up with another $60,000
to be placed in an escrow account in the event of a default so the City
will never have to run the fear of losing the monthly rental payments.
plus that fund is guaranteed to have sufficient funds to exercise the
full option price. That will be in addition to the other escrow amounts
they are putting up for the protection of the City.
Mr. Boardman stated the main thing needed from the NRA is concept
approval of the design, design location. and building.
Mr. Prieditis questioned whether the location of the trash area would
have any visual objections from the landscape architects or the City.
He felt it might be better to have the trash area located on the east
side of tfie building. However, he stated if the landscape architects
had no problem with the trash area in the present location, he had no
objections.
Mr. Haggerty stated the only real viable solution would be to switch the
trash area and the electrical and rearrange the entrance, but maintain
an entrance from the north. He stated he would be agreeable to that.
With that consideration, he would like concept approval.

Mr, Boardman stated that in the contract documents under the restriction
on "uses". he and Mr. Herrick and Mr. Haggerty had sat down and looked
at those restrictions on use they would want to try to develop for this
type of office building. He thought they had come up with something
that was satisfactory to Staff as well as Mr. Haggerty, and he wanted
the HRA to review it.
Mr. Prairie suggested that in Section 10.3, the word "drug" be changed
to "pharmacy" and that "small business uses generally related to office
building uses" be deleted.
Mr, Haggerty stated he would have no problem with those changes.

MOTZON CARRZED UNANZMOUSLY.
1, Resolution No. HRA-6-1982
Mr. Boardman stated he was intending to go to City Council on
September 27 with Mr. Haggerty's plans. He stated if Mr. Haggerty
is looking at starting construction in October, the HRA needs to
at least start negotiation with the City Council on the purchase of
property. At this time, he would like the HRA to approve Resolution
No. JiRA-6-1982 requesting the sale of city property to the HRA for
the development of an office building. ,
Mr. Boardman stated the details of the purchase have never been
discussed with the Councit. The property under the building
would need to be an outright purchase of the HRA from the City,
but there are two possible alternatives on the purchase of the
property for the parking lot. That would be that the HRA could
purchase that from the City on a contract basis and pay that
contract over a period of time. Then, the City could deed
that property directly over to the HRA and the HRA would then
lease the property to the office; or the HRA could pay directly
a E2/sq. ft. purchase price for the parking lot property to the
City of Fridley and take fee title.
Mr, Cortmers stated he was not sure that they had resolved the
question of whether or not the City might be willing to work the
lease directly with the developer.
Mr. 8oardman stated�•it was his understanding that the HRA would
prefer to go with sane kind of contract with Yhe City to carry the
purchase over a period of years with interest rather than an out-
right payment.
Mr. Commers stated that at some point in time, the HRA should try
to estab]ish something with the City Council whereby the City
Council sriows same goaQ faith in these kinds of things, too. The
HRA stilt has to be concerned about their cash flow position for
the next year or two. He stated that even though it only involves
about $100,000, he thought the City should be able to work something
out with the HRA.
Mr. Boardman stated the HRA will have to pay for the
property under the building because that is a deed that is turned
over to them. On the parking, since they have a lease arrangement,
HOUSIN6 6 REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER 16 1982 PAGE 5
and not a direct sale they could go with a contract with the
City and make the terms concurrent. If the HRA would like°to,
they might want to discuss this with the City Council on Sept. 27.

deposit in the amount of $481.25 that Mr. Schoneman had made to the
first development on the east side of University.
Mr. 5choneman stated he would like the advice of the HRA as to how to
go about getting his deposit money back.
Mr. Boardman stated he could contact Mr. Vasser by telephone or letter
and talk to him about this. He would recommend Mr. Schoneman go to
small claims court taking an action against each one of the parties
involved.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Boardman to fol�ow up on this and at least write
a letter to Mr. Vasser supporting Mr. Schoneman's position.
C. Receive Northern States Power Letter dated Aug. 20. 1982

if it involves 75�. Right now the City is working on a plan with NSP
where they can divide Center City and develop it in such a way that each

II. MOORE LAKE PROJECT
A. Memo �82-65 from Executive Director regarding a Proposal for Development
of a 96-Unit Luxury Condominium Project in the Moore Lake Redevelopment
District and a Letter dated Sept, 1, 1982, fran Erland Ekberg requesting
right of development:
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Ekberg is proposing a condominium development
in the Moore Lake area on the north side of Moore Lake. Mr. Ekberg has
looked at several different location possibilities. Mr. Boardman intro-
duced Mr. Ekberg and asked him to give his presentation.
Mr, Ekberg described his proposal and showed the HRA the design for
the luxury dondominiums, He stated there would be two, 13-story towers,
and each unit would cost approx. $160-175,000. He stated this is a
project he has been designing and planning for 1-1� years. He has been
looking for the ideal site,and he felt the Moore Lake site has a lot of
merit. He thought it was a very feasibie project, and would iike the
HRA to consider it.
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Ekberg is asking the HRA to provide him with a
space on which to put a model cando unit. Mr. Boardman stated the HRA
does not own arty property; therefore, they do not have any contro] over
having a disp7ay unit built. He stated he had suggested that Mr. Ekberg
contact Max Saliterman or one of the other property owners to possibly
7ease a portion of land along Old Central on which to put a display model.
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Ekberg is also looking for some kind of commitment
in the form of a right of development. The HRA has the authority to
grant a right of development and give a time period by which Mr. Ekberg
has to perform. But. again, they run into problems if the HRA takes an
action without giving the residents a chance to respond,
HOUSING 6 REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER 16 1982 PAGE 7
Mr. Commers stated the HRA is concerned about allowing the people who
live in that area to have a say and to have sane input into the� project,
He did not knov� how they could do much without a public hearing.
c Mr. Boardman stated a public hearing was not needed unless the HRA
chose to have one. Mr. Commers su9gested the HRA first meet with
the City Council on September 27th and see how the City Council
would like to see the HRA handle this. He stated Mr. Boardman
should check into getting them on the City Council agenda for
that meeting.
Mr. Commers stated it was the concensus of the HRA that they were very
interested in Mr. Ekberg's project. they felt the project could be very
beneficial, and were interested in pursuing it.
, Mr. Ekberg thanked them for their time and support of his project.

1. REQUEST AND PETITION fOR AN ICE RINK AT JAY PARK - JAY PARK RESIDENTS:
Mr. Gary Marlow, 6525 Main St. N.E., stated they are at tf�e meeting to request
an ice rink in Jay Park. Rigfit now tfiey have a park that is inadequate for any-
thing as far as winter activities. Right now the average aged child is 102 years
old, and Jay Park is more of a toddlers' park. There is a climber and a swing
set and that is all. He stated they have a petition to present to the Parks &
Recreation Commission requesting one ice skating rink at the Fridley Jay Park
location.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 27 1982 PAGE 2
MOTION BY MR. YOUNG, SECONDED BY MS. SCHREINER, TO RECENE THE PETITION (NO. 9-82)
RSpUESTZNG ONE ICE SKATING RINK AT JAY PARK.
Uj'ON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE HOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. -
A resident stated that in order for their children to do any ice skating, they
have to either cross the railroad tracks, Mississippi St., University Ave., or
Rice Creek. As long as they have a park and there are as many children as there
are in the neighborhood, tfiey would tfiink they could have an ice rink at Jay Park,
A resident stated the area across the tracks from them is similar in nature to
their area, except there are about 20 more houses. Their park has a toddler area,
tennis courts, two basketball set-ups, and an ice rink.
A resident stated that someone had mentioned their children could ride their
bikes to the new community park, but that is also dangerous, because there are
woods nearby and the railroad tracks to cross.
A resident asked how the City determines which parks are to have ice and whlch
are not.
Dr. Boudreau stated they are trying to consolidate and centralize the ice areas
based on a report done by the Planning Department. The report was based on the
population statistics of the children, neighborhoods, etc. He stated the Jay Park
area is not unusual. Almost every neighborhood in Fridley is isolated. Old
Central, Mississippi St., I-694, University Ave., and Osborne Road all cut through
the City. Most neigh6orhoods do not fiave an ice rink, Tfiere are only ten ice
rinks in the City of Fridley--an ice rihk fieing an enclosed rink utilized for
hockey, and there are 20 general skating areas in Fridley. Some of tfwse areas
are rather small. They are a maintenance headache and are very costly for the
City to operate.
Dr. Boudreau stated that with the economic pinch, the City is trying to reduce
the expenses of the City budget to hold down the tax bill. His job is to recommend
to the Parks & Recreation Cormission the ice area locations for 1982-83 (to be
addressed later in the meeting). He stated that six years ago, there were 14 ice
rinks for hockey in the City; they are now down to 10, because they are much more
expensive to maintain than a general skating area,
Dr. Boudreau stated Curt Dahlberg, the Park Foreman, had looked at Jay Park. In
a memo to Dr. Boudreau, Mr. Daf�l6erg f�ad stated it would cost about $2,200 to
maintain an ice area throughout the year. It is going to take about $700 to pre-
pare the ground, totalling about $3,000, an outlay of funds that has not been
budgeted fior an ice pad which would measure approx. 75' x 10�'. He stated they
would have to utilize the west side of the park area where the ball diamond is
now located. If they were to regrade this area to accomnodate a general skating
site, there would be extensive turf damage (counter-productive to the existing
turf management program), plus a good probability that the ball field would remain
wetter for longer periods of time, thus reducing normal su�ner usage activities,
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1982 PAGE 3
Mr. Dahl6erg had stated the level direct rod readings show that ingress/egress
to Lhe s1�e would 6e qery diffitult. Tbe drop in grade would be apprm�. 22 ft.
'�1� 3Q �t, di$tance whicE� would 6e very difficult for equipment entry/exit during
�l�te�" conditions. He had also stated that the present winter scf�edule is taxed
to its limits and he felt t6at witfiout additional full time personnel or authoriza-
tion of overtime, expansion of their winter scF�edule at this time would result in
reduction of quality service to all ice areas and rink areas within the City.
Dr. Boudreau stated Mr. Dahlberg's crew consists of six full-time people and
about seven part-time maintenance people, operating six days a week trying to
maintain the ice in Fridley, and that is quite a load for that amount of people
dnd equipment 6reakdowns they have.
Dr. Boudreau stated Mr. Dahlberg had suggested that the residents of Jay Park be
notified of the City's plans to create a large general ice area at the new Community
ParK and to inform them of the City's instruction sheet for backyard rinks.
A resident stated they were told that about 12 years ago, the Jay Park residents
tried to get an ice skating area and were turned down. 5he would like to know
evhy in this area where there are a lot of children and it is potentially dangerous
for the children to travel to another rink, the City cannot move a rink from one
location to another.
Dr. Boudreau stated economics, manpower, and accessibility were three reasons.
Mr. Kondrick stated they do appreciate the citizens of Fridley bringing these
kinds of things to their attention. Mr. DaF�lberg had spent some time looking at
the area and figuring out how mucfi it would cost to build the rink and how much
it would cost to maintain it. On that basis alone, the Gity does not have the
dollars to do it. What the future will bring, he stated he did not know. He
stated that at this time, he felt the Commission would have to take the matter
under advisement to see which direction they should go.
Ms. Schreiner stated that one comnent she felt was very important was the comnent
that the children on the average in this little neighborhood have outgrown the
use of Jay Park. She stated she has lived in fridley for 20 years, and she never
had a"tot lot", and she always had to drive her children to another area when
they wanted to go skating. She understood what the residents were going through,
but she thought there must be some way of determining which areas possibly no
longer need an ice area. 3he stated there must be some type of reports on how
heavily used the rinks are.
Dr. Boudreau stated that unless there is a warming house located at an ice rink
with.an attendant to monitor the usage, it is impossible to know how heavily a
rink is used. Last year, to the best of their ability, about 20,000 participants
used ice in the City of Fridiey,
Dr. Boudreau stated another concern the residents should be aware of is the problem
of the little children trying to skate when the 10-11-12 year olds have their
hockey sticks and pucks and are playing hockey.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEE7ING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1982 PAGE 4
Mr. Young stated his biggest concern was the fact that these chi}dren are having
to cross major streets to go to other areas.
A resident stated the major reason for the petition for a skating rink was because
it is not safe to cross major streets to any of tfie other available rinks.
Dr. Boudreau stated the City is planning a bikeway/walkway system that will go down
fran their neigh6orhood and across the metropolitan sewer dike on Rice Creek and
connect in with the County's bikeway/walkway system. He stated this neighborhood's
problem is not new to the City. They have the bikeway/walkway on the east side of
University, and they have looked at the problem of getting the people on the west
side of University to go north and south.
Ms. Schreiner stated it might be beneficial to get more up-to-date information
on numbers of children in particular areas,
Mr. Kondrick stated they will definitely review this, wil] get some new up-to-date
fiformation in terms of numbers, dollars, etc., and will notify the residents of
their recommendation.
MOTSON BY MR. YO[ING� SECONDED BY MS. SCHREINER� TO CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON THE
REQUEST FOR AN ICE SKATSNG AREA AT JAY PARK UNTIL TXE NEXT MEETZNG AND TO REQUEST
STAFF TO PROVIDE THE COMMISSION WITH SOME INPUT WITN REGARD TO THE AVERAGE AGE
OF THE CNILDREN IN THE NEIGHBORf100DS IN ORDER TO EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT THE CITY
PARKS ARE BEING USED TO T8E BEST USE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONbRICK DECLARED THE MOTION
CRRRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Dr. Boudreau stated he would be happy to work with any or all of the Jay Park
residents in trying to solve this problem.
Mr. Kondrick thanked everyone for coming to the meeting.
2, REQUEST - NORTH SUBURBAN CIVIC CENTER AND ICE ARENA:
Representatives from North Suburban Civic Center and Ice Arena were at the
meeting to request financial support from the City of Fridley because many of
the users of the ice arena live in a portion of Frid7ey.
Mr. Young asked how much time in the ice arena is already scheduled for this
coming year.
Mr. Duane Hass stated a majority of the prime ice time has been requested for use
by tde Spring lake Park Hockey Assoc. and the Blaine Hockey Assoc. Prime time
is 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday are a]so prime time.
Mr. Young stated that, assuming the City af Frid7ey was agreeable to this request,
and because it is tax money, it is possible the Fridley Hockey Assoc. would be
literested in using tfie ice arena. What guarantee was there that the Fridley
Hockey Assoc. would be aliocated so many hours of prime time?
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27 1982 PAGE 5
Mr. Hass stated fie was speaking for the area of fridley that is District 16.
T�at area of Fridley, Spring Lake Park, and southern Blaine have an agreement for
30% of that prime ice time. As far as the rest of Fridley, it was not involved
in this particular project.
Dr. Boudreau stated that in the Fridley Hockey Assoc program, there are approx.
200+ children, not counting broomball. So, they are looking at about 63 children
out of 350 who would participate in the ice arena. He stated the North Suburban
Civic Center is looking ta the City of Fridley for assistance with a project
that is basically serving Blaine, Spring Lake Park, and a small part of Fridley.
He thought it put Fridley in a precarious situation to start breaking up school
districts when they should be looking at the City as a whole.
MOTZON BY MR. ALLEN� SECONDED BY MS. SCHREINER, TO RECEIVE THE LETTER AND
INFORMATION DATED SEPT. 15� 1982, ON THE NORTH SUBURBAN CNIC CENTER AND ICE
ARENA.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHRIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNRNIMOUSLY.
Mr. Hass stated they will be making a presentation to the Fridtey City Council.
Mr. Kondrick thanked Mr. Hass, Mr. Hurt, and Mr. Nelson for coming to the
meeting and wished them luck in their project.
3. NORTHEAST CHAMBER ENSEMBLE AND FRIDLEY CITY BAND:
Ms. Agnes Wolf stated representatives from the Northeast Chamber were at the
meeting to request continued financial support from the City of Fridley. This
year they are requesting $1,700--an increase of $200 oaer last year. The primary
reason for the increase is for their library.
Mr. Young asked if the members of the Northeast Chamber contribute monies.
Ms. Wolf stated the members pay dues. This year they put in $94.50 overall.
They use the City money only to pay the director and buy music. All other
expenses, memorials, coffee money, etc., come from the members.
Mr. Young stated he was quite concerned with the City funding both the Northeast
Chamber and the City Band for one reason, and that was because he is the President
of SACA (Southern Anoka Comnunity Assistance). He wasn't concerned just because
the City of �ridley decided to cut funding for SACA ($2,OOOJ, but they cut fund-
ing for what he would consider "people" organizations--Central Center for Family
Resources, The Alexandra House, North Suburban Family Services Center, and the
Fridl�ey Creative Play Center. Three of these organizations were highty recarnnended
by the Human Resources Cormnissien to receive funding. He stated these are organi-
zations that are helping the poor of this comnunity. In many cases, the people
cannot afford to go elsewhere for professional counseling, They are people who
need food or clothing on a short-term basis, people who need assistance for a
utility bill, or a prescription for a sick child, He stated he was quite upset
PARKS & RECREATION COhF1ISSI0N MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27 7982 PAGE 6
to learn that the City has been funding what he would ca77 "cu}tural pursuits"
7'lice the Northeast Chamber and the City Band. Another thing that upset him
when he saw the membership lists was that one-third - 40% of the memberships
did not even come from the City of gridley. So, tfie City is funding people who
come from Cambridge, New Brighton, Plymouth, and Northeast Minneapolis in order
for them to have "cultural" enjoyment, but yet, to the best of the Commission's
knowledge, t�ose communities are not putting any money into this organization.
Mr. Young stated he participates in a civic organization called the Jaycees. He
stated that, figuring there are about 40 people in the Northeast Chamber and
they on7y collected g94,50, that is only about $2.50/person to continue in a
leisure time social activity they enjoy. He stated his dues to the Jaycees is
$24/year. It costs more than $2.50/person per year just to participate in soft-
ball or any other cortmunity function.
Ms. Betty Scott stated the organizations Mr. Young had mentioned have many other
sources of funding they can go to, and Fridley knows that. The people who go to
SACA also have many other outlets they can go to. There is no one in Anoka County
who has to go without food or medical treatment. She stated she did not think it
was fair to compare the Northeast Chamber with the organizations that assist
people because it is not the same thing.
It was stated that the $1,500 requested last year for the Northeast Chamber and
the $1,700 they hope to receive this year is not for their 30-40 members only.
It is an organization that lends a certain "plus" to Fridley. They are not
asking for the money to just have fun with. It is a part of Fridley to have
something cultural for people to belong to and for people to come to listen to.
They have concerts in churches, they play for the seniar citizens, and they play
in many other places in Fridley. Part of the membership who come from other
comnunities are people who play different instruments which are needed in order
to make the orchestral. Also,several members are former Fridley residents who
have moved away.
Ms. Schreiner stated the orchestra is a year-around program. A person who takes
a course through Community Education must pay a reaistration fee for a quarter,
8 weeks, whatever, or if a person joins a softball program for the su�ner, there
is a registration fee plus balls and bats. Her point was that if they were to
look at participation in the orchestra as a quarterly participation, it would
not be very expensive.
Mr. Kondrick stated the Cortmission is having difficulty in trying to figure
out why the orchestra program is any different from other city programs. There
are many participants in the other programs--whether children or adults--and
every. one has to contribute some dollars to participate, yet this seems to be a
reversal of that. He stated it has come to light now more so than in the past
because of the current money crunch. He stated the Members of the Northeast
Chamber and the City Band must understnad where the Commission is coming from
and why they are asking these questions and why there is some resistance on their
part for this funding,
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETIN6, SEPTEMBER 27 1982 PAGE 8
4. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
a. Springbrook Nature Ce�ter User Fee
b.
c.
Dr, Boudreau stated he had written a memo to Mr. Qureshi on Sept. 17,
1982, advising Mr. Qureshi that the fee schedule suggestion had been
turned over to Siah St. Clair for his review and suggestions by the
Springbrook Nature Center Foundation. After this meeting takes place,
he will review their suggestions with the Parks & Recreation Commission
and forward the recommendations through the process to the City Council.
Dr. Boudreau stated this was to bring the Comnission up to date on the
status of the Springbrook Nature Center user fee.
Independent School District �16
Dr. Boudreau stated the Commission members had received a copy of a
letter from Dr. Chris Huber, Supt. of Schools, and Gladys Murray,
Director of Special Services, from Dist. 16 thanking Jack Kirk and the
Fridley City Recreation Department for the fine job of participating
this summer with Blaine and Spring Lake Park in running cooperative
programning for children in the area. Dr. Boudreau stated Fridley wil]
probably do this again next year if the other communities are still
interested.

DATED SEPT. 7� 1982� FROM SCHOOL DIST. IG.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED TXE
MOTION CARRZED UNRNIMOUSLY. -
Comnunity Park Lighting
Dr. Boudreau stated the City has an agreement with Donahue & Assoc.
to help advise and do the spec work on the types of lighting needed
for the softball diamonds at the new camwnity park. The City hopes
to have the lighting in by next April, so they will be going out for
bids before the first of the year.
d. Woodcrest Baptist Church School Donation
Dr. Boudreau stated he had a copy af a letter addressed to the Mayor
of Fridley fran Robert Chrisman, Administrator of Woodcrest Baptist
Church School, which had included a contribution of $200 to the Parks
Recreation Department to use as it saw fit. Mr. Chrisman stated they
appreciated the good care the City has taken of the area of Locke Park
they use. They also wanted to thank the City for its fine recreation
program.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETIN6, SEPTEMBER 27 1982 PAGE 7
Dr. Boudreau, stated he should also point out that the Northeast Chamber and the
City Band are two of the groups who have paid 7eadership while a71 the rest of
the youth sports, etc., all have volunteer leadership.
Ms. Nicky Larson stated that was a different thing, because those people are
not professionals. They are people who have been in it for a long time and
have grown through it. They are not people who have graduated with a degree in
music and are specialists in the field. But, the City does pay for the umpires
and referees. If they didn't have the umpires ar referees, they could not have
the programs, and they cannot have an orchestra or a band without a director.
Mr. Young asked if the City paid the $700 for the music, would the members pay
the director's salary--about $33.50 per person?
Ms. Wolf stated she knew the members present at this meeting would be willing to
pay $33 per person, but she could not speak for the rest of the members.
Mr. Allen stated it sounded like this orchestra was one of the few like it in
the area and it sounded like they do a lot of good, He stated he really felt
some of this money could be donated or raised, with a little effort on the part
of the Northeast Chamber or City Band members, through some group, business, or
private individuals who strongly support their activities. He stated a71 the
Comnission is asking is that they pitch in and do what other people are doing,
and that is trying to raise money for the groups they feel are important.
Mr. Kondrick stated he would agree with Mr. Young--that the City pay for the
music but not the directors' salaries.
Mr. Ross Larson stated that what is being requested by these two groups is
minuscule compared to the bucks that are put out every year for sports in the
City of Fridley, and that really bothered him.
MOTION BY MS. SCXREZNER� SECONDED BY MR. ALLEN� TO RECOMMEND THAT FOR BOTH THE
NORTNEAST CXAMBER AND TXE CITY BAND, THE CITY CONTINUE TO UNDERWRITE TXE TOTAL
C0.ST OF 2HE MUSIC AND SUPPLIES AND TO UNDERWRSTE ONE-HALF OF THE DIRECTORS'

5. NEW BUSINESS:
a. Request - Totino Grace High School
Dr. Boudreau stated the Commission members had a copy of a letter
fran Mark Loahr, the Head Hockey Coach for Totino Grace, requesting
permission to use the hockey rink and warming house facility at Locke
Park from 4:00-5:00 p.m, weekdays during the hockey season.
Dr. Boudreau stated this rink is not set up for hockey; it is used
strictly for broomball.
Mr. Young stated he had heard that Spring Lake Park School Dist. 16
had given the hockey rink and warming house they had to the hockey
program that was represented earlier in the meeting for the reason
that Dist. 16 felt they could not continue to maintain it. They had
estimated the cost to maintain the rink last year was $4-b,000.
Considering that, the City of Fridley would be looking at possibly a
$4-6,000 contribution to a non-public institution.
Dr. Boudreau stated that in keeping with what the Commission and the
Parks & Recreation Department have always felt and done in the past is that
these rinks are to service the programs that are provided for the
children of fridley. After that, even though there is not much open
ice time, they like to keep the rinks open on a first-come, first-serve
basis.
Mr. Allen stated he would agree with that.

Dr. Boudreau stated he is recommending that the general skating area
at Burlington Northern be eliminated. He is recommending they not have
a skating area at Farr Lake and to do Harris Lake only if the demand is
there. They will try to have a general skating area in the new community
park which will eliminate them fran having a general skating area at
Locke Park, and they may not have a general skating area at Edgewater
Gardens.

BNERGY COMMISSION MINUTES AS WRITTEN. .
UPON A VOICE VOTE� RLL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPfiRSON SRBA DECLARED THE ifOTION CARRIED
UNRNIMIXJSLY.
1. CONTINUED: ENERGY ACCOUNTING
Mr. Deblon stated the Cortmission members had received a notice of a workshop
on "Accounting & Energy Cost Control" that he will be attending on November 9
at Lakewood Carenunity College. He stated he will be learning how to operate
the Apple II computer and how to set up an energy accounting program.
Mr. Deblon stated the Commission members also had a copy of a memo addressed to
himself from Sid Inman asking Mr, Deblon to obtain a copy of the program that
was written for the Apple Computer for energy and he (Mr. Inman) will pursue
the possibility of converting it over to the TI. This would save the cost of
buying an additional printer plus would leave the Apple available for the character
generation work for which it was purchased.
Mr. Saba stated it appeared they were getting closer to having an energy account-
ing system.
2. CONTINUED: STOP SIGN POLICY
Mr. Saba stated the City Council has a petition for stop signs they have referred
to the Energy Commission. He stated he and Todd Tessmer discussed a stop sign
policy with the City Council and the City Manager at a conference meeting, and
they seemed very receptive; however, they said when they receive a petition for
a stop sign, it is a hard thing to fight.
�
ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1982 PAGE 2
Mr. Saba stated the intersection in question is 45th and 2� St. The residents
are requesting either four stop signs or a two-way stop at that intersection.
Since, this is on the border of Fridley and Columbia Heights, one stop sign
would be in Columbia Heights, although they cannot force the City of Columbia
Heights to put up that stop sign. He asked Mr. Deblon if he had any history
on that area.
Mr. Deblon stated he had a 10-month canputer print-out of all the accidents in
Fridley. Out of 672 accidents, the accident that prompted this petition did
not even appear in the accident report (the accident was probably reported to
the Columbia Heights Police), .Mr. Deblon s�kated the Fridley Police Dept. does
not have this intersection marked as a problem area.
Mr. Wharton stated it looked as though this was already a controlled intersec-
tion, and apparently there was a violation of the traffic control situation
already there,
MOTION BY 1�42. WHARTON� SECONDBD BY MR. TESSMER� TO RECQMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL�
THROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION� THAT��FROM AN ENERGY STANDPOINT� TXE REQUEST FOR
STOP SSGNS AT 45TX AVE. 6 2 I/2 ST. NOT BE APPROVSD.
Mr. Saba stated he thought it might be prudent for the Commission members to
take a look at this site before taking any action on the above motion.
MOTION BY MR, WHARTON� SfiCONDED BY M12. TESSMER, TO TABLE ANY ACTION ON THE
ABOVE MOTION UNTIL THE COMMISSION MEMBERS XAD LOOKED AT TXE SNTERSECTION OF
45TX & 2 I/2,
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CXAIRPERSON SABA DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
The Corranission members agreed to take 20 minutes af ineeting time to visit the
site of the stop sign petition at 45th & 2�.
The Commission members wanted to record the following points regarding the stop
sign request:
1. 45th Ave. west of University is only 3; blocks long with one end
intersecting Main Street and extremely limited access on the other
end,
2. On 2� St, on the Columbia Heights side. a stop sign is already in
place. On 2� St. on the Fridley side, a yield sign is already in
place. Yield signs are predominant in the Fridley portion of that
neighborhood and should be sufficient for traffic control.
ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTE�BER 28, 1982 PA6E 3
3. Per a low traffic volume study (less than 500 average daily trips
fADT1)published in a Transportation Research Record 808 by
J. W. Mounce (Mr. Mounce is with the Texas Transportation Institute,
Texas A& M University, College Station), additional attempts at
traffic control through the use of yield and stop signs resulted in
more accidents than with no signs at all.

"The Forgotten fundamentals of the Energy Crisis" and have it shown on cable TV.
Each member of the Comnission will research other material for use on cable TV,
4. DISCUSSION OF MEETIN6 WITH CITY COUNCIL:
Mr. Saba stated he and Todd Tessmer met with the City Council at a conference
meeting on August 23. He stated it was a very interesting meeting, and the
City Council was very supportive of the Energy Commission's work plan,

Fridley, MN 55432
Attention: Mr. John Flora
Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Dear Mr. Flora:
The City of Columbia Heights' Traffic Commission at their regular
meeting on October 4, 1982, reviewed the petition you received from
area residents and made the following recomnendation with regard to
the installation of additional stop signs at the intersection of
2} Street N.E. and 45th Avenue N.E.
The commission members reviewed the conditions which now exist and
received a report from the Police Chiet stating that no accidents had
been reported at this intersection in Columbia Heights for the last
five years.
The cortmission recommends that the City of Fridley remove the existing
"yield" sign on south bound 2} Street N.E. and replace it with a"stop"
sign. Columbia Heights currently has a stop sign on north bound 2�
Street N.E.
In addition, they recommended that the City of Fridley address the
apparent visibility problem in the northeast corner of this intersection
for south bound traffic on 2} Street N.E. looking left. It was noticed
by commission members that tree branches may be blocking visibility of
oncoming cars from west bound 45th Avenue N.E.
� We have attached a copy of the Traffic Commission minutes with regard to
this item and a copy of the City of Columbia Heights visibility ordinance
for your reference.
We might add that it was the Traffic Commission's opinion that this inter-
section does not warrant a four-way stop at this time.
Sincerely,
�y���Fredrick V. Salsb ry

ceived a petition for the installation of stop signs (four stop signs
or a two-way stop) at the intersection of 45th Avenue N.E. and 2� Street

review. Presently, Fridley has a"yield" sign and we have a"stop"
sign on 2� Street N.E. Frank Breen sugoested we leave our sign as it
is, go for the two-way stop and let iridley put up one stop sign on
tfieir side of 2} Street t�.E. Councilman Hentges noted there is a
visibility prob�err� there also because of some lo�• hanoinc tree branches
or bushes in the northeast corner of this intersection. The Assistant
City Engineer indicated that our process in the past has Deen to set
up a pubTic hearing when considering the installation of stop signs.
Frank Breen recommended that no hearing be held since the petitioners
indicated they would settle for two signs.
Chief Anderson indicated there have been no accidents on the Columtia
Heights side for a period of five years and there does�'t seem to De a
need for the si9ns. Chairman Davitt asked if Fridley has an ordinance
on visibility problems. The Assistant City Engineer indicated he was
not sure if they have one. Louncilman Hentges recommended that Fridley
remo�e the "yJeld" sign, replace it with a stop sign, and correct the
visibility problem. The Assistant Lity Engi�eer asked again if there
is a need for a hearing since the residenis had asked for four signs.
There was further discussion on the need for a hearing. The Assistant
City Engineer indicated this petition came about because of an accident
on the iridley side about a month ago. He indicated he had talked to
John Flora, Director of Public Norks/City Engineer for the City of
Fridley, who indicated this petition had atready gone to their Energy
Comnission and had been denied. IL will no go fo their Planning and
Zoning Commission who witl make the finat recommendations this month.
Louncilman Hentges suggested that a letter be sent to the City of Fridley
recommending that they replace their "yield" sign with a stop sign and
remove ihe hedges or tree branches which are blocking visibility. Me
also suggested that a eopy of our visibility ordinance be attached. He
noted there is no need for a public hearing and no justification for a
four-way stop sign. The Assistant City fngineer indicated he could for-
ward a letter to the Lity of Fridley expressing the commission's vieh�s.
1ie would also send a copy of our visibility ordinance.
Motion by Fientges, seconded by Breen to forward a letter to the City of
fridley recommending removal and replacement of the "yield" sia� with
a"stop" sign, and that the City of Fridley take steps to remove tree
branches or bushes necessary to improve visibility for south bound traffic
on 2: Street f�.E. and that tAe City of Fridley report back to the Tra`fic
Lommission with their final recomnendations. Roll Call: All Ayes

of the municipat parking ramp.
There was further discussion on this item. It was indicated that the

of site plans for the downtown development. The Assistant City Engineer
indicated that he did not think that "no parking" had been addressed at
that time.

Ms. Cayan stated the guidebook has been completely written and is now ready to
go to press. Committee members will meet with Medtronic people next Week to
work out the details. The book should be done by November 1, and Mr. Minton is

it has worked very hard and has done a very good job.
Ms, van Dan stated the National Office on Disability has a 525,000 Awards

2. IYDP HANDICAPPED SURVEY REPORT:
Mr. Boergerhoff stated he has a copy of the text part of the survey results, and
it has been rewritten since the copy the Commission members received at the last
meeting. He stated there will be several sections, one section will deal with
the results, and another section will deal with a graph form representing the
results in several subject areas. He stated he has the material almost assembled,
although it has not been typed in final fo►m and the graphs are not in final form.
They are hoping to have the report completed by the end of October. He stated
that if the efforts of the IYDP Project Canmittee meet the requirements of the
National Office on Disability Awards Competition and if they can complete the
survey report by the end of the year, he is considering entering the canpetition
also.
Ms. van Dan stated it might be more effective if the Comnission or the City of
Fridley presented both the projects together.
Mr. Boergerhoff stated if the survey is prepared in time, he felt entering both
completed projects at the same time would be a very valuable contribution.
Ms. Cayan stated the accessibility guidebook is actually an extension of the
handicapped survey, because the survey documented the need for an accessibility
guidebook in terms of the high response on barriers. It could be presented that
way.

HUMAN RESOURCES CONMISSION MEETING. OCTOBER 7� 1982 PAGE 5
Lo that meeting prepared with ideas of what they feel the role of the Human
Resources Conmission shoutd be for the coming year.
Ms, van Dan stated the Commission might be very interested in pursuing the
upgradin9 of the votunteer system in the City. The commission system could be
upgraded as far as recognition. a more fornwlized recruiting process. a more
formalized orientation process for new commission memDers, etc, Because of the
cuts in funding, the possibility of looking into volunteerism and how volunteers
can be more effectively used in the community could be a very worthwhile project
for tfie comi'ng year.
The Comnission members agreed.
Ms, van Dan stated another thing they could discuss is the utilization of
cable TV.
7. LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP STATUS:
Ms. Cayan stated the fee has been paid� and tbe Human Resources Comnission is
now an official member of the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commission. The
Comnission members' names and addresses have all been recorded� and they should

8. OTHER BUSINESS:

3. 1982 NATIONAL OFFICE ON DISABILITY LIAIS�i RECOFMENDATION:
Ms. van'Dan stated the National Office on Disabi7ity, as a successor to the
U.S. Gouncil. wishes to continue on for one year. and they are asking again for
-M�ayors to dedicate liaison persons and continue the effort in 1982 and beyond.
She stated this does not involve any aaney; and since the Comnission has not yet
prepared their 1983 work plan, it might be something they would like to pursue.
Mr. Boergerhoff stated he would express hts interest; although his comnission
term expires in April 1983. Should he stay with the Comnission. he would be
happy to continue as a liaison person.
Ms. van Dan asked Ms. Cayan to present the Liaison Designation Form to the Mayor,
and if the Mayor agrees, to forward it on to Washington D.C.
4. NO-FAULT GRIEYANCE PROCEDURE:
Ms. van Dan stated the Commission had to make a decision at this meeting as to
whether or not they wanted to proceed with implementing the No-Fault Grievance
Procedure. S6e asked the Commission members to:express their feelings on this
subject.
Ms. Noble stated she had not attended any of the No-Fault Grievance Procedure
training sessions; therefore, she was not very wetl educated on what was involved.
5he stated if they are going to have people coming to Commission meetings and
airing grievartces, she was not interested. She did not have the time to devote
to training sessions or any extra meeting;.
Mr. Treuenfels stated if the Commission does decide to go forward with the No-
Fault 6rievance Procedure, the littte cortmittee that would be set up would not
necessarily involve Human Resources Commission members. It can involve those
ca�nissioners who have expressed an interest and it can involve people from the
ca�munity. The meetings would be held very informally, and would not involve
Camnission meetings. The �mbers of this cammittee would have no powers whatso-
ever; they do not take sides. but onty make sure both parties are talking.
Mr. Treuenfels stated the one tegat implfcation involved is that as each case

State Department of Human Rights; and if they wish to try to settle the dispute
at the locat 1eve1, they should not drag it out too long and therefore tose the
opportunity to go to the State DeparUnent of Human Rights. It has been decided
informally that after four months. if no agreement has been reached, the camnittee
would recamiend the people go on to the State.
Nr. Boergerhoff stated he agreed with Ms. Noble in that he could not commit any
additional time outside the Human Resources Comnission for this effort, but
within the Camission, it has his support, If there was interest expressed by
other Cammission members. he felt they should go forward with the No-Fault
Grievance Procedure.

Mr. Gordon Aspe�son was present for this matter. Mr. Clark pointed out one cor-
rection to tfie Commission and stated that the sign they are adding has already
been installed and that items i through 6 from the Staff Report have been discussed
with the building center and are part of the building permit that was issued today.
He felt the Commission did not have to concern themselves with items 1 through 6.
He stated that Mr. Hill met with Mr. Aspenson regarding these items.
Mr. Aspenson stated that he was not the manager in 1978 (he is presently the manager)
and he did not know why the sign was installed without a permit or a variance and
that he could not find anything in the files on it. He felt it was quite important
for them to advertise to the highway. He stated he thought the smalt sign was
added about 4 years ago when the store was added onto and he felt that the sign is
not too large or out of place. Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Aspenson if he understood that
the City has a sign code and asked what he would do if he was asked to take it down.
Mr. Aspenson said he would hate to do it, but he would take it down. He also said
the sign does help them with their business. Mr. Barna asked if he had any actual
experiences that the sign brought in business and Mr. Aspenson•said he had, es-
pecialty when they advertise their specials. Ms. Gabel stated that the reason Lampert
was allowed to increase the original sign was that the Cortmission members had driven
up and down the higfiway and determined the sign would be far enough back from the
highway. Mr. Aspenson said the sign is really noticeable at night as it is a lighted
sign. Ms. fabel said she was really surprised that this had happened with the sign
as the past Commission minutes make it clear as to the size of the sign. Mr. Barna
said his personal experie�ce is to see what is the outside display rather than try
Appeals Comoission Meeting - October 2, 1982 Page 3
to read the sign. Nr. Plenel asked if they are open Sundays and Mr. Aspenson said
they are as tfley are competing heavily with 6usinesses such as Menard's.
Ms. 6abe1 stated the signs are very difficult to control and can get easily out of
hand and informed Mr. Aspenson of the committee who wrote the new sign ordinance
and the strong comnunity feeliag that tfiere are too many signs in the city and
that she was somewhat offended in that a variance was granted in this matter and
someone went ahead and put up a larger sign. Mr. Aspenson said that person is no
longer witfi the company and that he personally has no responsibility for that.
Ms. 6abe1 said she is not sure how to control the next situation and asked how
long they are planning to keep the "open on Sundays" sign. Mr. Aspenson said
they�will take that sign down imnediately. Ms. Gabel asked if the lighted sign is
plastic and what is the life expectancy. Mr. Aspenson said the sign is a"message
center" and would last a long time if it is maintained. Mr. Plemel asked about
problems with vandalism and Mr. Aspenson said rocks are thrown at it every now and
then but they have no real problems. Mr. Betzold asked how long he has been manager
and if there has 6een a change in ownership. Mr. Aspenson said he has been manager
for a little over 2 years and that he has worked for Lampert for over 20 years and
that there has not been a change in ownership.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mrs. 6erou, to close the public hearing. UPON A
VOICE YOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON 6ABEL OECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT
7:50 P.M.
Mrs. 6erou noted that there are two companies competing against each other and Mr.
Plemel said there has to 6e restrictions and Fridley is a little more restrictive
than other communities and the residents appreciate that. He also felt that 25-30X
of the variance requests are for signs. Ms. Gabel noted that everybody wants more
signs (companies) and that the Commission has 6een very fair in the past in granting
the variance to Lampert. She aiso noted that Lampert has been in Fridley for many
years and could not see their lack of knowledge as justification for granting a
variance. Mr. Plemel felt this was a difficult decision; he drives by Lampert twice
a day and does not think the sign is offensive and feit there is a need for it.
Ms. Gabel agreed that it is not offensive. Mr. Barria stated that Lampert is very
far off the road and that a larger main sign could be 3ustified and he has a hard
time telling a 6usiness that Lhey cannot advertise their specials, especially when
the economy is bad. Mr. Plemel suggested they could just leave the sign and look at
it in 2-3 years. Ms. Gabel said she was very concerned about the type of precedence
being set in allowing this and how would you control it. Mr. Betzold said he was
very disturbed about the sign being put up by tfie previous management; that some-
body took advantage of the situation and ignored the variance that was given.
Mr. Kreuzkemper (here for agenda item 2) stated that he reads the sign all the time
and finds it enlightening.
MOTION by Mr. Plemei, seconded by Mr. Barna, that the Appeals Comr+ission recomnend
to the City Council, through the Planning Comnission, approval of Lhe request to
increase the square footage for a free standing sign from 144 square feet to 176
square feet, to allow a 4 ft. by 8 ft. lighted sign, on Parcell 3600, Section 12,

of three years by the Appeals Comnission. UPON A VOICE YOTE, TWO YOTING "AYE" AND

Nr. and Mrs. Kreuzkemper were present for this matter. Mr. C1ark made one
correction on the Staff Report: The third paragraph from the bottom sfauid
read ".. much rathe• construct it to the south, .." (insert tRe word
south instead of north . He stated that as far as the vestibule, they presently are
suggesting that this k��nd of tRing 6e allowed without a variance up to 5 feet,
on an existing structure only, and the entry be no more than a maximum of 50 square
feet. He has discussed the deck with the petitioners and stated they sincerely wish
to build on the south side. He showed the comnission an aeriat view of the area and
said the property to the rear (east) does not front onto 68th so it is not an
encroachment. Mr. Kreutkemper stated the reasons for wanting to put up an entryway:
He said it will keep the wind and cold from coming into the office and save energy and
give people a place to stand while they are waiting for the bell to be answered.
He said a deck on the south side will give them more hours of sun and felt it was the
best location for the deck. Mr. Plemel asked about having the deck on the west side.
Mr. Kreuzkemper explained that they would not be able to see the customers coming in'
and Mr. Kreuzkemper explained that he has some mobility problems. Mr. Betzold asked
how close the deck would be to the street and Mr. Clark said there is a 17 foot boulevard
on G8th. Mr. Plemel noted that 68th is not highly travelled but it di� not seem
a likely place for a deck. Nr. Kreuzkemper said the reason they want it there is
because it is right off the office and they can move easily to take care of the
custamers: that there is parking on the north side and front side and in the rear it
would be too far away from the office and they would not be able to use the deck and
at the same time take care of customers. He said it is the most convenience place for
them and did not see how it would obstrutt traffic.. Mr. Clark felt it would not obstruct
traffic.
,
Mr. Plemel asked if they thou9ht of putting up a yield sign or stop sign for people
coming out of their driveway. Ms. Gabel asked if they have any problems with
vandalism and Mr. Kreuzkemper said no. Mr. Betzold asked what kind of deck it would
be and Mr. Kreuzkemper said it would be a normal vertical board-on-board railing
and open underneath. Mr. Barrta asked if they thought they would be opening themselves
up for someone entering by swinging up on the deck. Mr, Kreuzkemper they are never
closed and someone is always there.

Mr. Barna felt the entryway should almost be a required item and the vestibule
will save energy. Ms. Gabet said more and more cities were passing this code.
Mr. Plemel was certainly in favor of tfie vestibule and felt there should be two
motion on this agenda item.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Betzold, that the Appeals Commission recommend
to tT�ie City Council, through the Planning Commission, approvai of the request to
reduce the side yard setback from the required 35 feet to 30 feet to allow the con-
struction of a new entry way, located on Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 1, Yalley Yiew

located on Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 1, Yalley Yiew 1�ianor, the same being 6881
Highway A65 N.E., Fridley, Mi�nesota, 55432.
Discussion on Motion: Mr. Plemel said he could not understand putting a deck on the
south side but would be in favor of it. Mr. Barna asked how far the deck would be
from the blacktop and Mr. Clark said it would be 17 feet. Mr. Barna then asked if
it was going to block someone's view and Mr. Plemet said it would not as long as it
is open underneath and asked about a yield sign and if the city could put that in.
Mr. Kreuzkemper said that part of the property where the driveway comes out belongs
to the city and he has no objection to a sign being put there. Mr. Betzold felt
the are a is fairly well tucked away and will not change for a while and is in favor
of the motion. Mrs. Gerou said she could see the hardship of Mr. and Mrs. Kreuzkemper
and is in favor ofthe motion.

Mr. Kubinski and Mr. Olson, of LAMAUR, Inc., were present for this matter.
Ms. Gabe1 noted that the biggest visual obstruction in this area are the plantings
that need to 6e trimned and asked why they wanted to change their sign. Mr. Olson
said they have changed their logo and they are changing their stationery and letter-
head and hope to change their signs. He said there is not much difference with
what they currently have for a sign; he said they don't do a lot of retail business
from their establishment, they are strictly a manufacturing business. He said
they manufacture cosmetics. Mr. Barna asked the reason for a larger sign. Mr. Olson
said this was for trucks, visitors and vendors and they are no different from General
Mi11s or Pillsbury; this place is their corporate headquarters and they are paying
a premium for their location and want people to know they are there. Mr. Plemel
asked about their cosmetic brand names and Mr. Olson said Style is one of their
brand names. Mr. Olson said they have a smaller sign off East River Road and they
just have the two signs and they are asking to go up about 4 feet so they can be
seen above the landscape. Ms. Gabel asked if they anticipated any wall sig�age
and Mr. Olson said they do not. Ms. Gabe1 stated the existing sign is hard to see
and she can see the need to raise the sign and suggested that maybe they could talk
to the Highway Department about trimming the trees. Mr. Plemel felt tha± this was
not too much of a change with the new sign. Ms. Gabel felt the sign should defi-
nitely come up. Mr. Plemel also saw the need for more visibility as the trees are
definitely an obstruction and that the company would like a little more recognition.
Mr. Betzoid felt this was keeping within the guidelines and this situation is where
the sign is far removed from the highway; not sitting right on the highway and he
hoped that the replacement sign is as attractive as the present sign. Ms. Gabel
stated you can see the hardship by just driving by the company.

Ms. Schnabel stated that at the Sept. 29, 1982, Pianning Commission meeting,
the Commission members had received a copy of a letter from Nancy Hendrickson,
President of the Fridley Chamber of Commerce, in which Ms. Hendrickson was
requesting the City Council to consider carefully the importance of losing
Cub Foods from the City of Fridley. Ms. Gabel had stated that Ms. Schaaf, a
member of the Chamber's Board of Directors, had said the letter was not written
with the agreement of the Board of Directors and that the letter was not repre-
sentative of the entire Chamber of Cortanerce.
Ms. Schnabel stated she had received another letter from Ms. Hendrickson in
response to the position taken by Ms. Schaaf. Ms. Hendrickson stated that of
the ll Chamber of-Comnerce Board of Directors, 10 were in agreement to send a
letter to the City supporting the rezoning. Ms. Hendrickson stated Ms. Schaaf
could not be reached for her vote. When 10 voted in favor of the letter support-
ing the rezoning, Ms. Hendrickson stated they felt that was a majority of the
Board of Directors and, therefore, represented the majority of the membership.

2. VACATION REQUEST: SAV #82-03, PARK CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, BY
RICHARD N. CARLSON: Vacate Longfeiiow Street between Lots 18-23 in
B oc 5, and between Lots 24-27, Block 4, Spring Brook Park, and vacate
alley in Block 4, Spring Brook Park,between Lots 22 and 23, and Lots 24-27,
all East of Burlington Northern railroad tracks, to be part of equipment
yard at 7900 Beech Street N.E.
Mr. Boardman stated the request was for the vacation of the street located along
the railroad tracks behind Park Construction's main fa�i7ity, He stated there
is a 35' sanitary sewer easement and a Minnegasco easement across that street,
He stated the City would request that those two easements be retained and to
request a 30 ft. drainage/utility and access easement on the westerly 30 ft,
Mr. Boardman stated it was the City's concern that at some point in time, the
City may be looking at trying to divert some of the flow from Stoneybrook and
Spring Brook and the Nature Center. It may be an alternative to go along the
railroad line so they may need 30 ft. of right-of-way to do a piping system to
divert some of the flow.
Mr. Boardman stated another concern was access to �he back lots, Park Construc-
tion owns most of the property to the north and south, but some of the property
in between is not owned by Park Construction, so the City would like to retain
some access easement into the back area.
Mr. Carlson stated he did knot know how many easements were needed, because
there are already three easements across that property. He stated North Suburban
Sanitary Sewer District has an easement, NSP has an easement, and he had not been
aware that Minnegasco also had an easement. Why does the City of Fridley need
another easement?
Mr. Boardman stated the City is not asking for an additional easement; their
easement would go over the top of the present easements.
Mr. Carlson stated the property is unbuildable and unusable at this time. All
they want to use the property for is storage. He stated he owns and pays taxes
on that property, and he would be opposed to the City of Fridley taking away
property that would make that property unusable. He stated he would not be
opposed to an underground drainage system, but he was opposed to an open ditch.
With an underground drainage system, the property would still be usab7e. He
stated he was not opposed to the access easement.
Mr. Boardman stated that if it was possible for the City to go underground
with a drainage system, then he would not be opposed to that alternative.
Mr. Car7son stated he also plans to put up the proper screening and plantings

Ms. Schnabel
2 2 St. , the
Council that
stated that regarding the request for
Energy Contnission had made a motion on
the request for stop signs be denied.
stop signs at 45th Ave. &
page 7 to recommend to City
Mr. Saba stated that as far as the Energy Commission could determine, there has only
been one accident at this intersection, and because of that accident, it has
creaied concern in the neighborhood which is understandable. Nowever, in looking
at that neighborhood, on the Fridley side, the Energy Commission felt yield signs
are predominant and are consistent in the neighborhood. He stated 45th Ave. is
approx. 3-4 blocks long. He stated the Energy Commission is definitely opposed
to a 4-way stop,
Mr, Saba stated that at their Oct. 26th meeting, the Energy Commission discussed
this again because they had received some new information from the Columbia
Heights Traffic Control Commission. The Columbia Heights Traffic Control Commission
had recomnended that there was a tree obstruction that shou7d be removed. He
stated the Energy Commission had made another motion at the Oct, 26th meeting
recommending to the City Council that the obstruction be removed through trimming
of the tree and that the City of Columbia Heights be asked to replace their stop
sign with a yield si�n to be consistent with the neighborhood. He stated stop
signs are not used anywhere e1se along 45th Ave. until you get down to Main St,
Ms. van Dan stated she had parked near this intersection during a busy traffic
time to observe the traffic. She stated she found it very interesting that of
the people coming from ihe north on 22 St. to the yield sign, most of the people
stopped and looked for traffic, while the people coming from the south on 22 St.
to the stop sign went through the stop sign.
Mr. Saba stated that in the study, "Energy Conservation to Improve Traffic
Measures, it points out that stop signs give a false sense of security because
people assume everyone will stop. He stated he thought for the City Council to
take out the yield sign and put up a stop sign in response to the petition from
the neighborhood would serve no use whatsoever and may cause more of a hazard
than there is now.

Mr.. Saba stated the Energy Commission has decided to go forward in response to
their educational goal and are going to try to get more educational programming
through video tapes and slide shows on cable TV. He stated that, as a beginning,
they are going to have a demonstration on "Energy Saving Window Treatments" by
Ms. Lynn Ihrke, County Extension Agent, Home Economics/Family Living, U. of M.,
at their Nov. 23rd Energy Commission meeting. He stated they plan to video tape
this demonstration for showing on cable TV. He stated the public wi17 be invited,
and he would like to extend an invitation to the Planning Commission members to
attend.
7. RECEIVE OCTOBER 7, 1982, HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION BY MS, VAN PAN� SECONDED BY MR. OQUIST� TO RECEIVE THE OCTOBER 7� 1982�
HUMAN�RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTE5.
Ms, van Dan stated both the International Year of Disabled Persons Project
Comnittee, which canducted a handicapped survey and is preparing a report,
and the Accessibil4ty Project Corr�nittee, which surveyed the business comnunity
for accessibility and is in the process of compiling an accessibility guideb,00k,
have been tremendous committees, a�d every member of those committees should be
commended for a great job, along with Mary Cayan, Staff person, and Scott Wheeler,
Planning Intern. She stated both committees have spent a tremendous amount of
time compiling data and getting volunteers.
Ms, van Dan stated the National Office on Disability has a$25,000 Awards Compe-
tition in observance of the completion of the 1982 National Year of Disabled
Persons, and the Human Resources Commission will be pursuing the awards compe-
tition for both the Accessibility Project Committee and the IYDP Project Committee,
Ms. Schnabel stated the accessibility guidebook was a tremendous project to

Ms. van Dan stated that on page 4, the Human Resources Commission made a motion
recomnending to City Council the establishment of a No-Fault Grievance Procedure
committee. She stated this, too, would be a totally vo7unteer canmittee that
would operate essentially independently of the Human Resources Commission and
city government. However, the City does have to give its approva1, even though
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETI�G, OCTOBER 27 1982 PAGE 7
the City would not be involved. She stated three of the Commission members
have attended the training sessions, and there are a number of refresher
courses and training sessions set up between now and January so anyone
interested could attend. She thought it would provide a tremendous service to
the people of Fridley.
Mr, Boardman stated that after the City establishes the committee, al] that
would be needed from the City are some initial mailing costs and the cost for
the City Attorney to review the waiver document that both parties would have
to sign.
Mr. Oquist asked why the City of Fridiey would even want to have a No-Fault
Grievance Procedure committee.
Ms. Schnabe] stated she felt the key point was that this committee would be
an arm of the State Department of Human Rights and really had nothing to do
with the City of Fridley,other than the City giving its approval for the
committee to operate in the City as recommended by the Human Resources Commission.
Ms. van Dan stated she would like the Planning Comnission to recommend to the
City Council that those interested in becoming involved in this process be
granted the opportunity to do so.
MOTION BY MS. VAN DAN� SECONDED BY MS. GABEL� TO CONCUR WSTH SHE HUMAN RESO�RCES

Lampert Lumber to tncrease the square footage for a free standing sign from
144 sq, ft. to 176 sq. ft, to allow a 4 ft, x 8 ft. lighted sign, was out of

is 6latantly ignoring city ordinances, and she thought it was time to put a stop
to it.
