a 4-plex at 6471 Riverview Terrace N.E.).
Ms. Gabel stated she has discussed this with Mr, Boardman. She stated she felt
very bad about this, because she was recently informed by the neighbors that the

really surprised her, and she would like to find out how this happened. All
the members of the Appeals Commission worked very hard to establish a lot of
credability in that neighborhood, and when the building permit was issued prior
to City Council approval, it destroyed what credability the City of Fridley had
for those people.
