(Uiking Chevrolet, 7501 Viron Road N.E.) MOTION BY MS. VAN DAN� SECONDED BY MR. SVANDA� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC NEARING ON SP #82-10 BY VIKING CHEVROLET. UPON A VOZCE VOTB� ALL VOTING AYE, CHASRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:36 P.M. Mr. Deblon stated there is a 10 ft. strip of land located between the two properties--Strite-Anderson and Viking Chevrolet. That strip of land went tax forfeit. The special use permit request technically includes that 10 ft, of land. He stated atl the City can do is allow the permit for everything but that 10 ft, strip of land, because it has gone tax forfeit and wi71 be up for auction in late 1982 or early 1983. It is logical that either Viking Chevrolet or Strite-Anderson will probably purchase that strip, but the permit cannot include that 10 ft. PLANNING CONII�1ISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 17 1982 PAGE 2 Mr. Mark Dooley was in the audience representing Viking Chevrolet. He stated he was sure that either Strite-Anderson or Viking Chevrolet would-purchase that land or dt least pay the back taxes, He stated he had told Mr. Deblon that Viking Chevrolet would be willing to rope off that 10 ft. strip if that was the desire of the Planning Comnission and City Council. Ms. Schnabel stated she would recomnend that Mr. Doolety consult with his attor- ney on what the legal ramifications are of encroaching on the property. She asked how long the lease was with Strite-Anderson. Mr. Doolety stated it was a month-to-month ]ease with a 30-day notice io either party. Ms. Schnabel stated the Planning Commission had received copies of additional ietters concerning landscaping and signage. Mr. Deblon stated there were some uncompTeted items from a� earller trailer license, and Staff would like to obtain some additional ornamental-type land- scaping to soften the facade of the biacktop, concrete, and cars. Ms. 5chnabel asked if that was the responsibility of the leasee or the leasor, Mr. Oeblon stated the responsibility would ultimately fall on the leasor because Viking Chevrolet is displaying the merchandise, He stated there are past develop- ments that were not 6uilt the way the City would like to see them now, because the code was updated in 1973, So, when they get opportunities like this to bring things up to code, they like to take those opportunities. Mr. Doolety stated he would be very candid with the Commissior members. He stated if they were talking about landscaping that would run $200-300, Viking would be glad to do that, but if the City is talking about something much more extensive, Viking would not be willing to do that, because of the type of lease they have. Mr. Svanda stated he had a probiem with asking Uiking Chevrolet to put in $500 worth of landscaping for somethi�g that could last only 30 days. He could appreciate what the City is trying to accomplish, but he couldn't go along with it. Mr. Deblon stated there is the possibility of working out some type of cost- sharing arrangement with Strite-Anderson. He stated there was a stipulation on the trailer license that was granted to Viking in May 1982 that additional screen- ing and landscaping be used along the west and south boulevards as worked out with City 5taff. According to the information he had, this has not been done. Ms. Schnabel suggested Staff reassess what the situation really is and work this out directly with Viking Chevrolet, Mr. Dooley stated the area is really more of a display area for their recreational .vehicles. Any sales would take place at Viking Chevrolet. They just need the extra space for this display, and they have no plans to put any type of building on the property. PLANNING COMMISSION MEE7ING, NOVEMBER 17, ]982 PAGE 3 MQTIQN BY MR. QQUIST� SECONDED BY MR, KONDRZCK� TO CLOSE THS PUBLIC HEARING ON SP k82-10 BY VIKING CHEVROLET. UPON A VDICE VOTE, RLL VOTTNG AYE, CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CIASED AT 7:54 P.M, Mr. Oquist stated that since the special use pettnit is granted for the property, he felt they should specify in the motion that when the lease between Viking and Strite-Anderson terminates, the special use permit would also terminate. He stated he could also understand what Mr. Deblon was saying about getting some landscaping in this area, but when Viking Chevrolet is looking at only a 30-day lease, it didn't seem reasonable to ask them to do that, He thought Staff should work that out with Viking, and it should not be part of the motion.

PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP �182-11, CENTRAL AUTO PARTS, BY J BU IC: Per Section Q5, ,, 8, to a ow a �un yar on ots , 7, an3��TTock 2, Central View Manor, the same being 1136 72 1/2 Avenue N.E. MOTION BY MR. KONDRZCK� SECONDED BY MS. VAN DAN� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HERRING ON SP N82-11, CENTRAL AUTO PARTS� BY JOHN BUZIC. UPON R VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAZRWDMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED TNE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN RT 7;58 P,M. Mr. Deblon stated the location of this property is just north of 73rd Ave. to the south of 73Z Ave., and just to the west of T.H. 65. Mr. Tom Flaherty, representing Central Auto Parts, stated he was in the process of trying to purchase the property. He stated the property is not used as a "junk yard". They use the property to park their over-the-road tracks and tc service their equipment. City Staff felt that, in order to continue this type of use, Central Auto Parts would need a special use permit. Mr. Deblon stated, to give a little background on this property, the land went tax forfeit in 1981, the City picked it up and dedicated a drainage easement through the eastern part of Lot 8. The property was auctioned and bought by PLANNING COMMISSION MEE7ING, NOVEh1BER 17 1982 PAGE 4 Don Chies in late 1981 or early 1982. Central Auto Parts has been renting the property for the past 6-7 years. The property is also used for temporary storage for wrecked cars before the wrecked cars are taken across the street to be dismantled. Mr. Flaherty stated their trucks travel over a five-state area picking up damaged automobiles, so the trucks are loaded when they come in. Often the trucks will sit on the property overnight until the automobiles are unloaded. He stated the property is not used for the storage of auto parts or the dismantling of cars. That is all done across the street in their building at 1201 - 73; Ave. Currently, there is a large amount of construction equipment, trucks and property belonging to Don Chies on the property, and Central Auto Parts is currently using the building and the parking alongside the building for the parking of their trucks. Mr. Flaherty stated again that he is in the process of purchasing the property from Mr, Chies. In the purchase agreement, Mr, Chies is a]lowed a certain amount of time in which to remove his property. The purchase agreement is accepted by both the buyer and seller and is contingent upon approva7 of the special use permit by the Planning Commission and City Council. Mr, Flaherty stated he plans to work with Staff on landscaping. He plans to ]and- scape the boulevards, put in screening, a new fence, a rolling gate, driveway, and curbing in order to bring the property up to code. The property is in need of some attention, He stated they wili continue to use the property for the storage and parking of their over-the-road trucks and service their eq�ipment in the building. Mr, Oquist stated he questioned ihe need to grant a special use permit for a salvage yard when Mr. Flaherty has no intention of using the property as a salvage yard, and the City would also rather he didn't use it that way. It is just going to be used for storage and maintenance of business vehicles. Mr, Deblon stated the property is still being used as an expansion of the salvage operation and,therefore, requires a special use permit. Mr, Flaherty stated on occasion the salvage vehicles will be stored on the property, and it is possible cars to be salvaged cou]d be on the property a good part of the time. Staff felt if these cars are going to be on the property, in order to be in compliance, the special use permit was needed. Ms. Schnabel stated she agreed with Mr. Oquist. If the property is only going to be used for the parking and storage of vehicles and not as part of the salvage part of the business, maybe there is no need for a special use permit. She understood Staff's interpretation, but she was confused over the need for a special use permit. Mr. Oquist stated that without a special use permit, Mr. Flaherty couldn't use the property as an extension of the salvage business, but could continue to use it as he is now. Ms. Schnabel agreed and stated that if the special use permit was granted, then PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, NOUEMBER 17, 1982 PAGE 5 Mr. Flaherty could do salvage work on that property. Otherwise, without the special use permit, he is limited to use that property only for �he maintenance and storage of his business vehicles. Mr. Kondrick also agreed. Mr. Deblon stated that right now this is a non-conforming use and a special use permit is needed to make it a conforming use. Mr. Oquist stated that if the Commission recanmends approval of this request, they should request Staff to provide for City Council an answer to the question of why a special use permit is really needed, MOTION BY MR.

PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP #82-12, PARK CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, C RL OLSON: Per Section 2. 3, B, i o t e fri ey City Co e, to a ow t e set up of a crusher to reclaim concrete, to be located on Parcel 7200, Section 3, bounded by 81st Avenue and Beech Street, al] part of 7900 Beech Street N.E. MOTION BY MR. OQUIST� SECONDED BY MR. KONDRICK� TO OPSN THE PUBLZC HEARIN6 ON SP #82-22� PARK CONSTRUCTION COMPANY� BY CARL OISON, UPON A VOICE VOTE� RLL VOTINC AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNRBEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:36 P.df. Mr. Deblon stated Mr. Dick Carlson was in the audience to answer any questions about this operation. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 17 1982 PA6E 6 Mr. Carlson stated this crushing operation is a new venture for Park Construc- tion. They plan to bring in concrete materials to be crushed. When they have accumulated enough materials, they wilT bring in a crusher and crush this material, then stockpi7e it for reuse and sale. There is no way they would have enough material to keep a crusher going to its full extent. However, there could come a time when the crusher would be there full time. He stated this is recycling material that peop�e normally are hauling and putting into land- fills which is wasting a good product. He stated crushed gravel is getting harder and harder to get. Mr. Svanda stated he would be concerned about the noise generated by the crusher as residential housing is not too far away. Mr. Carlson stated he has no expertise in how much noise is generated by the crusher. The power plants of the crusher are normally enclosed in a van so the only actual noise is the crushing of the material as it goes into the crusher. In 1971 Park Construction crushed a million yards of limestone on East River Road and 37th for Burlington Northern. They crushed two shifts night and day, and the noise from the crusher did not pose any major complaints from the neighborhood. Mr. Deblon stated it would be interesting to visit an existing rock crusher and take decibel readings at various distances. He would suggest Mr, Carlson do that before the spectal use permit request goes to the City Council as noise might also be a concern expressed by the City Council. Mr. Carlson stated that Carl Bollander & Sons has been crushin9 rock for the last three years down on Marshall Ave. & Plymouth, The crusher is located within 200 ft. of a redevelopment area with new homes. Bollander did get some co�plaints, and he put up a noise barrier to deflect the noise. Mr. Carlson stated that if noise is a problem, there are remedies. He stated if they violate the noise code, then they would have to do whatever is necessary to be in com- pliance with the noise code. Ms. van Dan asked about the dust. Mr. Carlson stated with the different a problem, there would be some dust, but the amount of dust varies types of material. He stated he did not feel dust would be Mr. Carlson stated they keep a neat and tidy operation, and they want to cooperate with the City in every way possible, including any noise or dust complatnts. He felt this was an avenue that the construction industry is doing that, quite frankty, is going to save taxpayers' doilars. Mr. Kondrick stated his concern was also about the noise as crushing rock is a noisy operation, Mr.De6lon stated that, as Mr. Carlson had stated earlier, this is a form of recycling.

He stated this came as a result of a petition from the neighborhood. He stated it was nice to see so many people interested in their park, and the Cortmissian felt there was enough children in this area to justify an ice skating rink. He stated he would like the Planning Co�ission to concur with this motion. MOTION BY MR. XONDRZCK� SECONDED BY MR.

Mr. bebion stated Lhe City Council, at their Nov. Sth meeting, approved the two- way stop sign request at 45th & 2� St. At their Oct. 26th meeting, the Energy Cortmission had recomme�ded the City remove the obstructed view through trirtming and that the City of Co7umbia Heights replace its stop sign with a yield sign to be consistent with traffic control in that area, Mr. Debion explained that the obstruction was caused by a large mugo pine that could not be trimmed back, and still looked good. The tree is actually more shrub-like than a tree. Mr. Oquist stated he thought it was part of the ordinance that the boulevard areas within 30 ft. of the street have to be free of trees or vegetation that would cause obstructed visibility, He thought the City should really enfor�e that ordinance. He stated these two stop signs are not gning to solve the problem. That tree should be cut down because it was illegally planted, and is a traffic hazard. The City has a tendency to ignore an ordinance that was put there to protect the citizens of Fridley, Why have an ordinance if they aren't going to enforce it? If a tree is causing a traffic hazard, the City should enforce the ordinance and cut down the tree. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTZNG AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED TXE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMDUSLY. 7.

Motion on Funding for the Northeast Chart�ber Ensemble and Fridley City Sand Dr. Boudreau stated that at the September 27th Parks 8 Recreation Commission meeting, the Canmission made a motion to Gity Council recomnending that the City continue to underwrite the cost of both organizations for music and supplies, but to only underwrite one- fourth of the directors' salaries--tfiree months into the coming year in order to altow the organizations time to prepare for the phase-out of the directors' salaries. PARKS & RE_CREATION COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 15, 1982 PAGE 2 b. c. Dr. Boudreau stated the Planning Canmission, at their Oct. 27th meeting, recommended to City Council that all funding be denied to the Northeast Chamber and the Fridley City�and. Dr. Boudreau stated these recortrnendations went to the City Council at their last meeting on Nov, 8. Because of the conflict between the two recommendations, the City Council tabled the item until their Nov. 22 meet9ng. Dr. Boudreau stated the City Council has requested from him additional information on whether these monies were part of the 7983 budget or monies from the 1962 budget and just exactly what was the impetus for the recomnendation that came from the Parks & Recreation Commission. He stated that information will be going in memo form to the City Manager in time for the City Council meeting on Nov. 22. He stated he would keep the Commission members informed as to what action is taken by the City Council. Progress Report an Cortmunity Park �r.

VFW Donation Dr. Boudreau stated that out of the $60,000 pledge made by the VFW for the Canmunity Park, the VFW has made their yearly contribution of $12,500; and Mr. Resner of the VFW presented the check to the City.

Eisenhower Square Monument Dr. Boudreau stated that, as the Comnission mebers were aware, because of the recent development in the Center City canplex, there was a need to relocate the Eisenhower Square monument, which was doneted and built by the VFW. The City undertook the project with a professiona] moving PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 15 1982 PAGE 3 company to have it moved to the south end of Moore Lake by the flagpole. In the process of moving it, the mortar gave way on the rocks and it fell and broke in several places. Since that time, Mark Burch, Assistant Public Works Director, has met with people from the VFW and the owner of the moving company, and it has been co-agreed upon that the moving com- pany will pay for the re6uilding of the monument and the purchasing of the granite, The actual rebuilding will be done by the people who built the originat monument. The stones that were salvageab]e are in the custody of the moving company who will store them over the winter. The rebu9lding will be done as early in the spring as possible. Dr. Boudreau stated the YFW expressed their satisfaction with the new location of the monument at Moore Lake as it will get more attention, and it is a nice area for any ceremonies they would want to have. 2. OLD BUSINESS: a. Discussion on Departmental Policy Manual Mr, Kirk stated he has met with three Cortenission members on different sections of the policy manual. He stated it appeared the best approach to working on the manual was to bring one section at a time to the Comnission members for review and changes. After they are done with all nf the small sections, hopefully they will have an entire policy manual to be approved by the Canmission and then sent on ta Planning Comnission and City Council._ Mr. Kirk stated Ms. Schreiner had a section of the administrative portion ready at this meeting for the Corrunissian's review and changes. He stated this section would then be retyped and brought back to the Cortmission at their next meeting for final approval. The remainder of the meeting time was spent reviewing and making changes to this section of the policy manual. Dr. Boudreau stated he would like to compliment Ms. Schreiner for a fine job in the writing of this sectian. It was a good start on the policy manual, Ms. Schreiner stated she would a]so like to thank Mr. Kirk for his time and help in the preparation of this section. 3. OTHER BUSINESS: a. Dec./ Jan. Meeting Dates Ms. Schreiner stated their next regularly scheduled meeting would be on Dec. 20. Did the Commission members wish to cancel that meeting because of it being so close to Christmas?

The aign ordinaoce aetting the present oaxioum aign area of 80 aquare feet was adopted in OctoDer, 1977. On June 12, 1g60, Sign Permit /�58 was issued for • 12' z 12' (7AA aquare foot) eign to replace the exiating aign.

The ataff has no atipulatione if the Board decidea to approve this variance. Mr. Mike Anderson from Northwest fabrics was prese�t for this matter. He sub- mitted drawings of the proposed sign and Mr. Hill submitted photographs of the area. Mr. Anderson stated they are new in the Twin Cities and are establishing their identity in the area and their store next to Target is difficult to see from some parts of the freeway. Ms, 6abe1 asked if people coming into Target is beneficial for them and Mr. Anderson said they have a lot of built-in traffic but they get a lot of ca11s asking where they are located in Fridley. Mrs. Gerou asked if the wall sign is the only sign they have and he said it is and people coming in from the West do not see anything at all. Ms. Gabel asked what type of materiat the sign would be made of and he said it will be an inner-illuminated plastic sign made of the same material that the Target sign is maAe of. Ms. C�abel asked him about tAe colors and he said they will be yellow and black, like the wall sign. Mr. Plemel asked if the si9n would help people coming North and Mr. Anderson said probably not. Mr. Barna felt they would be better off tying their advertising into Target and could not s�e where the sign would do any good at all to be placed in the proposed location and felt the only benefit would be on the side street. He felt it would be better to have signs on the two sides of their building - to just put up another wail sign. Ms. Gabe1 said she couid see the need for a sign and she didn't have any problem giving Northwest Fabrics a means of identifying themseives and that the Commission members had gone and driven around the store and they are aware of the problem and but she felt the proposed sign was not the answer to that problem. Mr. Anderson said their other stores are closer to the street and they don'Y have this problem with their other stores. Ms. Gabel asked him if he would like tfiem to continue this matter to give him an opportunity to research something better. Appeals Commission Meetina - Noyember 16, 1982 Paqe 3 Mr. Anderson said they have only been open three weeks and, judging from the addresses on the check, their business comes in South from Fridley and East and West from 694 and they don't have much business coming in from Columbia Heights. He said they felt it would be to their advantage to fiave a sign to help identify them from 694 and north of Central Avenue. Ms. Gabel said they do have the need for identification but it is hard to get freeway or road identification and the best thing tBey can do is to let people know they are located next to Target. Mr. Hill asked him if they have talked to Target about a wall sign and Mr. Anderson said he was sure that all avenues were researched and that Target is not that flexible and he would like the Comnission to go ahead and deal with this matter. _ At this time, Ms. Gabel introduced a public hearing notice that was sent to the Appeals Commission regarding this matter. The letter was not signed but had the message "Sinage in general is ugly. Biaqer signs are uglier I object and Meadow Run Apts. objects"(sic)_and a business card with Richard 6udali's name stapled'•t� the notice.

Discussion: Mr. Barna felt that the sign is not going to do that much good but he would not object to the sign. Ms. Gabel felt this is not too much signage but did not think it was the solution to their identification problem and felt they have a valid need to identify their store. Mr. Plemel felt they didn't have too many alternatives and the sign is well done and unobtrusive and he would be in favor of the sign. Mrs. Gerous and Mr. Betzold were both in favor. MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mr. Plemel, that the Appeals Commission recommend to the City Council, through the Planning Commission, approval of the request to increase the square footage of a free standing sign from a legal non-conforming sign of 144 square feet to 216 square feet, to allow a new tenent to add to this sign, located on part of lots 10, 11, and 12, Aud9tor's Subdivision No. 155, the same being 755 - 53rd Avenue N.E., Fridley, Minnesota.

If there is a default and the building does not go up, the HRA doesn't have the taxes that would be generated on that building to pay off the work or the money the HRA puts into it. Mr. Paschke stated he has three projects that are going into the tax increment district or the HRA, and he has not received any financial assistance on those projects, Mr. Correners stated it would be appropriate for Mr, Boardman and Mr. Paschke to sit down and work out an agreeable proposal to be brought back to the HRA at their Dec, neeting, He stated he did think they should c�et a report on the income they are generating on these three projects. If they are generating tax increment dollars from three ot Mr. Paschke's properties, that may be something the NRA will want to take into consideration, MOTION HY MR.

B, NAHRO Request for Funds (Continued from Oct. 19, 1982) Mr. Cemmers stated the HRA members had a copy of a letter dated Oct. 28 from Mr. Nerrick in response to the HRA's request on the legality of contributing funds to hJAHRO. Mr. Herrick was of the opinion that this would be a valid ex�enditure of funds and would not jeopardize the HRA's tax status. Mr. Boardman stated he had called other HRA's as well as Nancy Reeves, Chairperson of the Legislative Comnittee: to get an indication of any tax status effects on the donating cities. The response was that the pledge is to NAHRO as an organization to help cover the costs of NANRO activities and is not affecting any individual HRA. NAHRO is consulting for legislative assistance similar to the League of Cities and other non-profit organizations and is not paying for registered lobbyists.

Memo from Sid Inman - Government Accounting Probiem Mr. Commers stated the HRA members had raised a question at their last meeting regarding the separation of powers between the City and the HRA. They had requested that ��1r. Inman and Mr.Nerrick attend this meeting to better explain that problem. Mr. Inman stated Mr. Herrick could not be at the meeting. He stated the issue that is of concern is inforr.iing the City Council that in an extreme situation they have a liability; they have cortplied with, and the auditor has concurred. �dhether the City reports the HRA on the City's financial statement or not is really it,revelant, other than cost. When George M. Hanson Co, has done the HRA's audit in the past, they have mere7y walked in and done it. In this case, the City will have prepared documents ahead of time. That should, in fact, reduce the auditor's bil], 7he major part of the expenditure will be the City preparing the HRA's documents for the City's report, and the City stands to bear some of that load, because it is the City's responsibility. The HRA will see no increase in their month-to-month statements, and the City is going to try to estimate for the HRA what it wi]l cost, Hopefully, it will not cost any r�ore than the HRA has received from their auditor. This is something new, so it is really hard to say how much it is goi�ig to cost. Mr. Comrners stated that at least now they know what their auditor's cost is; it is a fixed cost. If the City is going to prepare it and then turn it over to the auditor to provide the HRA with an audited statement, there may be an added cost. 41hat he heard l�ir. Inman saying was that the City is going to include the HRA in their financial state- ment, other than in a footnote. (�1r. Inman stated he does not have any decision power. The City Counci] has the decision power, and the auditor has clearly said that if the City does not include the HRA, they could jeopardize their Certificate. of Conformance. Again, that has no affect on the HRA, other than whether or not the HRA pays the City ta do that. Mr. Commers stated there are some questions as to the auditor's opinion in the first place. There is nothing set down. They are asking that the criteria be extended and not be implemented for another year. 7here is no information whatsoever that this is a necessary requirement or the criteria that has to be met in order to get the Certificate of Conformance. He did not see why the City was going ahead and doing it. If the City decides to do it, it should be the Ciiy's obligation and not the HRA's and the HRA should not have to expend any more money. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING NOVEMBER 18 1982 PAGE 5 Mr. Inman stated if the HRA was of the opinion they woul� lfke to have the auditor do the whole report, he was willing to accept that. The report the auditor prepared has to be combined in the City's report, He agreed that if the City chooses to make that decision, it should be the City's responsibility, but that was not his decision to make. Mr. Inman stated that as far as Mr. Commers' comment on the criteria, the decision in i979 on two similar issues was they did lose the Certificate of Conformance because they chose not to do the two activities because of the fact that it wasn't extended. Because of that, he would be very reluctant not to include it in the City's report, It was the concensus of the HRA members that if the City makes the decision to include the HRA in the City's report, the City should bear the cost of doing that. hir. Inman stated that if this decision is made that it is the City's responsibility and they tiaill do it, if he prefers to present the report to Geor,e M. Hanson Co, and the City is willing to bear the cost, would the NRA be willing to let him do that? Mr. Commers stated ever it �-�euld cost report.

Report & Claim - Relocation of Lennies' Laundromat - Mr, Baardman stated that Mr. Von Klug was at the meeting to explain his report. Mr. Von Klug stated the relocation of Lennies became more complex than was originally anticipated. Lennies had a unique relationship with the landlord. With items that were normally attached to the building and could have been classified as part of the buiiding, Lennies not only had the right to remove those items, but had an obligation to remove those items. These items were, in essence, personal property. Mr. Von Klug stated he confirried with the real estate appraiser who was �reviously hired that, indeed, he did not include those items with tfie real property. As a result, they became aware they were responsible to pay relocation costs on those items. The items referred to are included in an appraisal done by Patchin Appraisers. Those items were "process electrica]", "process plumbing", "raised concrete floor","door openers", and "vent system". Mr. Von Klug stated the next step o-�as to deterniine the least cost approach. He stated the least cost approach is a strange thing in the relocation process, because they still have an obligation by Minnesota State Law to make sure the business gets the maxirnunt com- pensation it is entitled to. They had an appraisal done by Patchin Appraisers called a fixture appraisal; also referred to as an "in- place value appraisaT"'. The "in-place value appraisal" came to $67,670. That was for the bulk of the items that arere attached in some type of fashion to the building. In addition to those items, Lennies very clearly had persona] property such as washing machines, laundry carts, wastebaskets, desks, arcade machines, etc., so they got a moving cost estiriate on those items. The total cost of the "in- place value appraisal" and the moving cost estimate was almost �75,000. P1r. Von Klug stated that in going back to the fixture appraisal done by Mauser and in going through Lennies, he noticed there was a certain amount of duplication under "process electrical". Though they did not include in the rea] estate appraisal the 400 amp and 200 amp service throughout the building, they did include some electrical and some plumbing. Though it is not a good idea in the relocation process to negotiate relocatron costs, it became evident, mainly from the needs of Lennies, that it would be a prudent thing to do. So, with the concurrence of Mr. Boardman, he negotiated with Lennies and reached an agreement of $58,50Q, rather tharo the $74,49Q. Mr. Boardman stated Lennies has been paid the negotiated purchase price and Staff has sent a Tetter giving them 90 days in which to remove alt personal items from the facility, He stated he needed official approval of the purchase price of $58,500, even though he had polTed each HRA member by tetephone earlier.

Report - Relocation of Fridley Auto Repair Mr. Boardman stated he received the report on tiie Fridley Auto Repair after the agenda was mailed out. He would like to discuss this itcin and possibly take some action while Mr. Von Klug was at the meeting. Mr. Coirnners stated since this again was not an ordinary approach k�here a payment is being recommended rather than the actual expenses incurred with the relocation of the business, he thought the HRA should have some time to review this approach and why. hir, Von Klug stated that with business relocations, they have pre- dominately two types of payments: (1) actual and reasonable moving expenses--within tfiat is ihe cost of the personal property items such as professional services necessary for the moving of personal property, stationery reproduction, searching expenses, telephone, leased equipment expenses; and {2) payment in lieu of moving and related expenses. The business has the option of selecting which type of pay�nent it wants. The business has to meet three tests, the most crucial test is that the business cannot be relocated without a substantial pertion of its patronage. They are under HUD regulations in this state because that is what the state law adopted, He stated their office tried to dernon- strate the proof that there was a substantial loss of patronaye in this case. hir. Von Klug stated one of the considerations the ager�cy has to take is increased operating expenses at tl�e new location. So, their office has to take into consideration ta�o major factors: {1} the business has to be assumed; and (2) if, indeed,there is going to be a substantial increase in operating expenses, is the business eTiaible in that respect? Pir. Von Klug stated the an�ount of payment is not based upon increased operating expenses. The Fridley Auto Repair went from a unit with an appraised value of $77,500 to a unit where they paid 5200,000, plus they have increased operating expenses. As far as the amount of pay- ment, once the determination of eligibility has been made, the payment amount is based on average annual net earnings of the business avera9ed over two years prior to moving. The minimum payment is 32,500; the maximum payment is $10,000. With the Fridley Auto Repair's circumstances, they had approx. $30,000 of average annual receipts, so the payment was cut back to �10,000 which is the maximum possible payment under current legislation.

C. 3ond Bid Opening (Memo #82-81 from Executive Director) P1r. Boardman stated the tax increment financing bond base was officially opened on Nov. 8 at Ehlers office for the $600,000 HRA bonds related to the fridley Plaza Office building. The bonds were sold for a 9.2605% interest rate based on the City's Aa-1 rating and was approved by the City Council that night at their meeting. D. Lease of Hardware Building for Proposed Retail/Liquidation Operation P1r. Boardman stated h1r, Dick Carson was at the meeting in regard to this lease request, Mr. Carson has made a proposal to lease the hard- ware building with an 18-month lease and a r,ionth-to-month lease after that. i,1r. Boardman stated that in discussions with Mr. Carson, the parking was discussed. The hardware building itself has a limited amount of parking and this business would generate a need for more parking. Mr. Carson has worked with Fred Levy and they have reached an agreer�.ent on the parking situation. Mr. Commers asked for Staff's recommendation. F1r. Boardman stated that at $3/sq. ft., it was the most advantageous offer they have had for the hardware building. He stated he would like to yet the building leased, and he felt this was an adequate operation, It aril] probably generate quite a bit of traffic into the area. There has been concern expressed by the businesses in Holly Center that the walk-in business is down 60% and the businesses are having a difficult time. It is important to get something into the hardware building, Mr. Rasmussen stated he thought there should be more research into the kind of operation this is. He felt it was very important to have a financial statenient, and at least some type of inspection of a�hat the operation looks like. Mr. Carson stated he would be happy to provide the HRA with a financial report. He had not been aware one was wanted. He stated he has a store in Cambridge and would be happy to show them that store. He will also be opening a store in Sloomington. He stated he felt this was a good location for his business and that the business would be good for the community, HOUSIP�G & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, NOVEMBER 18, 1982 PAGE 9 Mr. Rasmussen stated he was very concerned about this type af operation. Mr. Carson stated he would clean up the building and operate it as a clean, nice business, He did not plan to put a lot of money into the building with an 18-month lease and a month-to-month lease after that. Mr. Commers stated he thought that if ttiey can be provided with an adequate financial statement and that the Cambridge store, upon inspection by Staff, presents itself ti�rell, ii would be better to have a business in that building than to leave it vacant. h1r.

There is a Minnesota Uniform Fire Code that states that any underground tanks which have been abandoned for a period of one year shall be removed from the ground and properly filled, Mr. Boardman stated he had tried to delay on the removal of the tank until such a time as they had a developer and could go in on develop- ment costs. He had gotten sorie estimates last year on the cost of removal. He stated he would check into this again and keep the HRA members informed.

Moore Lake Condominium Project Mr. Commers stated each of the members had received a handout entitled, "Proposed Project, Moore Lake Redevelopment District". Mr. Boardnan stated that at the last meeting, the HRA had requested Staff to put together a packet of information, including a letter, that was being proposed for mail-out to the residents prior to the pubTic hearing on Dec. 9, He stated he would like them to iook the information over to see if it was adequate for mailing.

The normal process is 350 ft, It was the concensus of the HRA members that the racket of information be mailed out 350 ft. of the project site. with the exception that all the homes along 4Joody Lane also be included because of the visual site Tines from the ho�7es on 4Joody Lane.

Don l. Yancey and Ashok Mehta were prese�t for this matter. Mr. Ciark explained that in T469 the maxtmum for a sign was i60 square feet and now it is 80 square feet. Mr. Yancey said they are asking for a 16 square foot variance and it was his understanding that if they took down the "drive-thru" siqn they could then put up the additional sign. Ne presented the Commission with a list of hard- ships and discussed some of them. Ne stated that there is a dead-end frontage <,�f at 6urger King, which sits far back off the road and the marquee is not ''e from the higfiway. Nr. Yancey said that by advertising daily specials �;sting tfie store fiours gives people a reason to ;o there. He further staLed aies as a hardship and tBat for many years the store has lost money and that the company took back the franchise. He said since the sign has been up they have had a substantial increase in sales. He stated that Lheir researcfi fias shown that siores in the area that have nrarquees {such as Northtown) have a 33� increase in sates and that the increase in sales means additional employees, revenue and taxes. Ms. GaLel asked how tong the sign has been up and t9r. Mehta said about three weeks. �ls. C,abel felt it would be difficult to dete��mine the sales increase in that short of tfime and wondered if their recent television advertising had more to do with that, hSr. Yancey said their television advertising is not included in their sales figures. Mr. Mehta show;ed the Commission a sales chart and 1•ir. Yancey said their ad was done on the 28th and si�owed the Commission which stores have had the r:�arquees and increase in sales and further felt that the incrcase in sales was directly attributable to the marquees. He aiso stated that they need to increase their custemer count to keep the 6usiness a fl oat and it was very significant that they display their hours of operation. Mr. Yancey said the "drive-thru" sign is 24 square feet and the aec�r message sign �s 32 square feet. Nr.Plemel asked wk�y no one considered talking to tfie staff 6efore they put up tfie nevr sign. Mr. Yancey said they talked to Steve Olson. Ms. Ga6e1 said that Burg�r King is a large organization and should know about the process of putting up signs. Mr. Yancey said that Arrow Sign Company is putting up the siqns for them and it is their responsibility and apparently there was a communication breakdown.. M{s. Gabel said Arrow Sign Company is aware of tfie permits needed and Mr. Yancey said they took Qown the "drive-thru" sign and put up the message sign. , �peals Commission Meeting - November 30, 1982 Paqe 3 Ms. Gabel stated that their present sign was grandfathered in but the new sign is not and their sign is presently 96 feet out of code. 5he stated this puts the Commission in a difficult position and tfiey have been given a variance once and she understood that businesses like Burger King had different sizes of signs for the codes in various cities and asked if they could make their sign smatler. Mr. Yancey said he didn't know how many years' profit it would take to do this. Ms. Gabel said sBe was surprised that this message sign would generate this type of business and further stated tBat they have a probTem with setting a precedent by allowing larger signs. She explained to Ptr. Yancey and T•ir. Ptehta about the Si9n Committee and the City re-writing the sign code and that it was determined that there would be problems with signs with all the major thoroughfares running througfi the cominunity. She stated the Comnission always winds up in a bind with this type of request as they can understand the position of the business. Mr. Yancey said this 6urger King sfiould have been.closed years ago but they think they can bring it 6ack and another hardship is the Center City project falling through. Ms. Gabel said the City is still working on that pr-oject and it has been a very slow process 6ut eventually something v+ill happen and they could depend on that in the future. Ms. Gabel asked what the cost was for the new sign and Mr. Yancey said it was $3,500 installed. He also said he understood what i•1s. Gabel v+as saying but that they do not have an ugly sign and it is only 16 additional square fect and P1r. F;ehta said it ti��ould be underreath their main sign. h"r. Yancey said that the "Golden Aeches" do�tn the road stick out and Ms. EaUel said tfiey are not there to get involved with their war r�ith tdcDonalds a+id that is part af their problem -- if the Cenunission 9rants a request like this then someone else will come in with the saine request and it will get out of control -- there are too many businesses up and du�,;n L'niversity Avenue that could come in ti��ith the same requests. Mr. Plemel said it is not just 16 additional square feet -- tf.at the original variance was from 100 to 159 feet and now tfie cade is SO sq�.�,�re feet and the present sign is aLrost double orhat the code is. Mr. Clai�k stated that the pr:rmit reads for the original logo sign at 11'10" X I3'5" and furthe� explained tt�at the "drive-thru" siyn ��as probably considered by the City as a directional sign and those signs are cxer.�pt from the siyn code and felt t�iat tfiis directional "di-ive- thru" siyn should not be a part of this discussion or have a bearing on tbe Coinmission's consideratioos.

CONTItJUED; DISCUSSION QF FURTHER EDUCATIOPlAL PROGR/�MS Mr. Saba stated that at the Tast meeting, Mr. Jordan had talked about the possibility of producing films on general maintenance that people can do to save energy. Mr. Jordan stated he had talked about the Corunission doing their own demonstra- tions or educational workshops to be video taped utilizing Dunwoody and its facilities. Ne stated that resource was availabie whenever the Commissioners decided they woutd like to do that. Mr. Jordan stated he is waiting for a letter from NSP telling the Commission exactly what they have as far as some video tapes on energy, and he was waiting for a letter regarding "Ask NSP." that would gtve the Commissioners permission to use that series of tapes on cable N. He had hoped to have this information for tfiis meeting, but should have it by the next rt�eeting, ENERGY COMMISSION MEETIPJG, NOVEMBER 23 1982 PAGE 2 Mr. Wharton stated he did not thinK the idea of the Commission members producing their own films was such a godd idea. He stated he was sure the Minnesota Energy Agency should have a]1 kinds of information available relating to ehergy that the Commission could utilize. Ne stated there used to be a national energy information number that people could call for educational materials. He stated ASHRAE also had some slides at one time. Those were two resources that should be contacted. Mr. Jordan stated one of the best films he has ever seen is "This Old House." It is now being shown on KTCA, Channel 2, on Saiurday evenings at 6:00 p,m. He stated he would check into the availabil�ty of this fi]m series. Mr. Deblon stated he would check with the Minnesota Energy Agency and Minnegasco to try to find some premade video tapes on energy. tdr. Saba stated he would check with the Fridley library to see what tapes they have available. Mr. �ordan stated something else that would be very worthwhile was to tour the NSP North Star Nome in Brooklyn Center. It is a very nice home and very energy efficient. He stated they could have a home representative take them through the home explaining everything in the house and what makes ii so energy-efficient. They cou7d video tape the tour. He stated it is very important far them to be very basic with this information and make it in a language that everyone can understand. Mr. Deblon stated maybe they can formulate a plan to try ta make a video tape of their own. Mr, Wharton suggested that maybe the City should buy a"CO" monitor and offer to check peopTe"s homes for cartion monoxide. He stated telling how people can check £or carbon monoxide could also be a good demonstration to be shown on ca61e TV. Mr. Jordan stated he woutd check with some area representatives and find out what "CO" meters cost and poss9bly bring one to the next meeting. 3. ENERGY ACCOUNTING UPDATE: Mr. Deblon stated the City now has the energy program from Po)lack & Stewart Assoc., via the Minnesota Energy Agency. The City has an existing Apple computer with one drive.

UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL UOTZNG AYE� ACTING CNAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. L07 SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #82-07, BY OENNIS AND CHRISTIPlE tdORtEY: Split off t�e S—outh 118 feet of Lot 21, alock 2, Spring Lake Park Lakeside (1524 Osborne Rdad) to make a new building site, 7675 Brigadoon N.E. (which includes a 25' street and utility easement). Mr. Deblon stated the property in question is located between Brigadoon Place and Osborne Road to the east of Arthur St. The property is a rather deep lot with an existing house located towards the center of the l.ot, the lot having a double frontage;consequently the potential for double assessments. He felt this was the impetui for the lot split. Mr.Qeblon stated the land proposed to be split off ineets all the Poning require- ments for a new buildable site as sketched. He wanted to emphascze that the sub- division ordinance at this point in time cal]s only for a sketch. The reason for this is because the hearing process may bring about changes, and it would be very expensive for the applicant to have the property xesurveyed. There is no existing survey at tfiis point in time. Mr. Deblon stated that one of the concerns expressed by Staff was that the exist- ing property does have an existing non-conforming use of an iinimproved driveway. The Zoning Code calls for a hard surfaced driveway. At this time, the City would like to bring that driveway up to code. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 8, 1982 PAGE 2 Ms. Gabel stated the existing driveway was approx. 100 ft. long. It would be an enormous expense to resurface that driveway. Mr. Goodspeed stated he did look at this property. He stated this is quite a nice neighborhood, and he felt just having a new house on thai empty lot would be more of a service to the City, without also requiring the owners to put in a hard surface driveway. Mr. Saba stated he agreed with the concept and could understand Staff's point of view in trying to take these kinds of opportunities to bring th�ngs up to code, but he felt it was an unreasonable request in this case because of the length of the driveway.
