Ms. Schnabel stated that on page 4, the Parks & Recreation Commission had made a motion to recommend to City Council that the 1983 Diseased Tree Program be repealed, but to continue to provide a tree inspector who would be on call for inspections and to have a public relations program to encourage voluntary participation in the removal of diseased trees and the replanting of those trees. Mr. Deblon stated this item was on the Feb. 7 City Council agenda but was tabled in order to get Planning Commission input. Ms. Schnabel stated she has heard some criticism that the city tree inspector is not well enough educated in this field. A lot of mistakes have been made and non- diseased trees have been cut down. She felt they should be very careful that the person in charge of this program has a lot of education and training in forestry. Maybe there is someone who would be available on an as-needed basis who is fully educated. She was not so sure that person should be from the Parks & Recreation Department. She would like to see some money hudgeted for hiring someone outside city staff to do the inspecting when calls or complaints are registered at City Hall. Mr. Saba stated he agreed with Dick Young's philosophy in that he would rather see the money spent in some other areas such as reforestation. Mr. Saba stated that would probably benefit the City more than in hiring someone to inspect the old trees. New trees can be planted that are resistent to disease. He also felt the City really needed more trees, especially along the parkways. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 9 1983 PAGE 3 Mr. Oquist agreed. He stated that when leaves are dying and falling off a tree in the summertime, the homeowner could almost do his own inspection and have the tree taken down. It did not really seem necessary to have someone come out to just reaffirm that the tree is dying, MOTION BY MR. SABR� SECONDED BY AII2.

UPON A VOICE VOTE� RLL VOSING AYE� CHAZRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED SHE MOTION CRRRIED UNANIMOOSLY. Mr. Oquist stated that at this meeting, the Human Resources Cortmission and the Community Development Commission made three motions recommending projects to the City Council for CDBG funds. They had recortmended that $10,000 from the remaining 1982 CDBG funds ($111,322) be allocated to The Alexandra House, $30,000 be allo- cated to Acquisition/Relocation Center City Project, and $71,322 be allocated to Rehab-Handicap Retrofit Weatherization. They had also made a motion recomnending eight projects for 1983 CDBG funds. MOTION BY MR. OQUIST� SECONDED BY MS. GABEL� TO CONCUR WITH THE XUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION/COMMUNZTY DEVEZOPMENT COMMISSION AND RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THRT $20�000 OUT OF THE 2982 CDBG FUNDS BE ALLOCATED TO THE ALEXANDRA HOUSE. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CNAIRWOMAN SCXNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Gabel asked how they justify CDBG monies going into the Center City Project. Mr. Deblon stated it was being used to remove blight and blighted conditions which was one of the criteria HU� requires for CDBG funding, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 9, 1983 PAGE 4 Ms. Schnabel stated it was her understanding that the HRA was a total entity in the City; it funds itself, and she felt if the HRA cannot afford to do its own acquisition, then the HRA should not be doing it. Mr. Saba stated he had the same question, and maybe some of these projects shouldn't be done. Mr. Oquist stated this conversation was really irrelevant as he had just found out at this meeting that the City Council had already taken an action on the $30,000 at their last meeting. Ms. Gahel stated that did not preclude the Planning Commission from making comments on what they think about this. She stated she was very perturbed when these oppor- tunities are presented to them after the fact. What is the Planning Commission doing here anyway? It is ridiculous for the Planning Commission to 9et this informa- tion and sit here wasting their time when this has already gone to the City Council and the City Council has already approved it. Ms. Schnabel stated that in reading the Jan. 27th Human Resources Commission/ Community Development Corranission minutes, she wondered what the criteria was for CDBG funding. She wanted to know why that allocation was made to the Center City Project, because she truthfully felt that was an HRA project and that the HRA should be generating funds solely on their own and HUD monies should not be used for that when they can be used for another project that has no funding at all. She was even more upset after reading that the City Council had already acted on this allocation at their Jan. 24th meeting, Why did the Community Development Commission and the Human Resources Cortmission go through the exercise of recommend- ing when the City Council had already passed a resolution and acted upon it? Ms. Gabel stated she thought saneone from the City Council should respond to the Planning Commission on why this had taken place. Ms. 5chnabel stated this is not the first time this type of thing has happened. It has happened, not only to the Planning Commission, but to other corrmissions. MOTION BY MR. SRBA� SECONDED BY MS.

PLANNIN6 COMMISSIDN MEE7IN6, FEBRUARY 9, 1983 PAGE 5 Mr. Schneider and Mr. Boardman arrived at the meeting. Mr. Oquist asked Mr. Boardman to state the criteria for CD66 funding. Mr. 8oardman stated there are three criteria: (lj must benefit low and moderate income persons (50%); (2) removal of slum and blight; (3) emergency funding. Ms. Schnabel stated the Planning Comnission had made a motion stating they did not concur with the use of CDBG monies for acquisition(relocation in the Center City Project. She stated the Planning Cortmission was unhappy when they discovered at this meeting that the City Council had taken an action on the $30,000 before the joint Human Resources Commission/Cormwnity Development Corrmission meeting on Jan. 27, and those co�nissioners were not notified of that action. Mr. Boardman stated the cortmissioners were notified of the City Council action at that meeting. There was $111,322 left from CDBG funds. In a discussion with the Cortmunity Oevelopment Conmission in Oecember, he had told the Commission that money could be allocated by the City Council for another project. They had talked about whether the Comnunity Development Comnission would have a chance to voice an opinion on the 1982 monies. Mr. Boardman stated that at that time, he had said he wasn't sure if the City Council would do that or not and that the City Council could allocate that money since it has to be allocated and spent by the end of June. Mr. Doardman stated that at the Jan. 6, 1983, joint Human Resources Commission/ Cor�Ynunity Development Cottmission meeting, he had brought up the point that there was $30,000 that was going to be allocated by the City Council to the HRA, and that was a discussion between the City Council and the HRA. The HRA had requested assistance from the City Council for the Center City plaza area (modification to the Firemen's parking lot and some items within the plaza such as signage). Mr. Oquist stated the commissions did discuss the possibility of the $30,000 being used in the Center City Project, but wfiat Ms. Schnabel was saying was that at the Jan. 27th meeting, this money had already been allocated by the City Council. Mr. Boardman stated he had told the comnissioners that the $30,000 had already been allocated and that was why he put that in as an item to show the monies had been allocated. He had told the commissioners there was $81,000 left (out of the $111,000) and did the commissioners want to have a voice in that allocation. The commissioners had responded that they did want a voice in that allocation. Mr. Boardman stated the cation of 1983 monies. City Council. thing the cortmissions were really working on was the allo- The allocation of 1983 CDBG monies has not been to the Ms. Schnabel stated the over-riding philosophical question that has triggered this concern is that the Planning Commission does not know why the City Council is spending CDBG monies on an HRA project. Why doesn't the HRA generate the money within its own project? PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 9, 1983 PAGE 6 Mr. Boardman stated the HRA and the City made a compromise on the use of those funds. The HRA had requested some assistance from the City, whether it came from CDBG funds or directly from the City. It was not a question of whether the HRA could handle the financial part of it themselves. When the HRA gets involved in development, it gets involved with either private or public developers. The HRA is doing the plaza for the City of Fridley. That plaza is being developed on City of Fridley property. Since the HRA is developing a plaza for the City of Fridley in the interest of the City of Fridley, the HRA felt maybe there should be some assistance from the City for some of the items within the project that are directly related to the City of Fridley. The actual monies the City Council gave to the HRA was for the Firemen's parking lot and for signage and other items that relate directly to city activity that will be happening in the plaza. Mr. Boardman stated the City could have used the CDBG monies for the development of the plaza; but by putting HUD monies into the plaza, the cost would probabTy have increased about $40-50,000 by following the Davis Bacon Act. Instead of doing that, they had an agreement with the City Council that the meney would go toward the acquisition and relocation in which they would not have to follow the Davis Bacon Act. It would not increase the cost to the HRA; however, it would still benefit the HRA, and the HRA would get that benefit in doing the Firemen's parking lot and the items in the plaza directly related to city activity. They can use CDBG monies because it fulfil]s the criteria of being used to remove slum and blight. Mr. Schneider stated it wasn't a question of whether the HRA was financially able to do the project. Since the project was benefitting the City as well as the HRA, the City Council had to decide if it was worth contributing $30,000 from the City. Mr, Boardman stated that if the City Council had wanted to, they could take the whole 1982 and 1983 CDBG monies and put them into the Center City Project, because it is an eligible project. Mr. Oquist stated that at the Jan. 27th meeting, he did not recall the comnission members being aware that the $30,000 had already been allocated. If Mr. Boardman had told them that, then he apologized for that lack of comnunication. Mr. Saba stated the Planning Corrmission had disagreed with the Community Development Commission/Human Resources Co�nission's motion on Jan. 27th because of the lack of understanding about CD66 monies and the canmunication problem. He had expressed the same concerns as the other Planning Commission members, and would not have made that motion had he known what he knows now. He would recommend the Plannin Comnission concur with the Human Resources Canmission/Comnunitv eve onment for the ac uisition/relocation o r. oar man s exo anation Ms. Schnabel stated that regarding the 1983 CDBG projects recortmended by the two comnissions, she also agreed with the concept of low interest loans.

OTHER BUSINE55: Ms. Schnabel stated that at the Dec. 22 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission members had felt perhaps something should be done with the way the conmissions are operating at this time. She stated she did call Mayor Nee and talked to him about it, she had also discussed this with Mr. Qureshi, the City Manager, and Mr. Flora, Public Works Director. The information she had received was that there is a plan to restructure the Planning Commission and its o�erating procedures. The thinking is to possibly canbine the Energy Commission and the Environmental Quality Commission. The people who are members of the comnissions at the present time will be encouraged to stay and continue their terms. Mr. Qureshi strongly emphasized that at no time would anyone be asked to step aside and that the City wants input from all those who are interested in continuing, However, as terms expire, the size of the canmissions may be reduced. Ms. Schnabel stated there has been no actual decision on what to do about the Comnunity Development Commission. They are thinking possibly some type of task force could be established,but the chairperson would still remain on the Planning Conmission. There is the possibility of creating a non-profit corporation, and the Community Development Commission could possibly become that group. Ms. Schnabel stated she had talked to Mr. Flora about the Commuriity Development Commission's feeling that they are so global in scope and they felt somewhat reluctant to get into other areas, because they did not want to enfringe upon other commissions' areas. Mr. Flora thought that was not such a bad feature. He suggested that, for example, right now perhaps both the Community Development Commission and the Environmental Quality Commission should be discussing hazardous waste because of the proposal for such a facility in Fridley. The Cortmunity Development Cortmission's perspective could be: What happens to the businesses that might be considering locating in Fridley? If a hazardous waste facility is located in Fridley, does that diminish Fridley's attractiveness to new business? The other side would be the community's awareness in terms of receiving feelings PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, FEBR�ARY 9 1983 PAGE 8 or information from the cortmunity at large, Right now, there is no vehicle to receive that type of information. Maybe the Comnunity Development Cortmission could hold public hearings so the public becomes aware of what is being proposed and get input from the public. These are all areas in which the Community Development Comnission could still operate as a v�able commission, Mr. Oquist stated the concern he had regarding the commission members meeting only when there is a specific issue or project was that if there is a time lapse between discussions, he did not see how they could keep the commission members together and interested. Mr. Boardman stated if they are going to have a reacting commission, it should be set u� as a project committee on a project-by-project basis. In other words, they get people involved who are interested in a certain issue at the time the issues comes up. With the commissions, they have tried to set up more of a pro-action cortmission, like the Environmental Quality Commission, Energy Comnission, Human Resources Commission, and Community Development Commission, where they are generating ideas, following through on the ideas, and recommending to Planning Commission and City Council. The Planning Comnission is a reaction commission in the sense that they react on specific issues. If it is the intent to set up a commission process to react to projects and issues that come from the Planning Commission and the City Council, then maybe they should look at the elimination of that commission and set it up as a project committee to look at specific items. Mr. Schneider stated he and Mr, Hamernik share the concern that by combining the Energy and Environmenta] Quality Commissions and eliminating the Community Develop- ment Commission, that eliminated ten citizens from the Planning Comnission process and left only five members on the Planning Commission. Mr. Hamernik felt very strongly that "comnunity development" was an important aspect of the City and there should be input to the Planning Commission in that area. Mr, Schneider stated that perhaps there should be some redirection of the commission. One idea he had was to have some type of coordinating body for vo7unteer functions in the City. 7he idea of a community development corporation was brought up. He stated there seems to be a need for the City to be more in touch with the business people and neighboring cortmunities to make them aware of what is happening in the City of Fridley, He stated there were many ideas expressed at the City Council conference meeting on Jan. 31, but no decision was made, other than not doing away with the Comnunity Development Comnission entirely but to change the role, either through a task force or comnittee or restructuring the comnission. Mr. Oquist stated that in his discussions with Mr. Hamernik, he agreed that maybe they don't have to eliminate the comnission, but it definitely has to be redefined. He felt community development has been downplayed considerably just because it is so global. He stated he felt the City Council is rea7ly going to have to do some thinking about this and decide what they really want to see this commission doing. Mr. Boardman stated he would caution them about setting up a commission and then trying to find things for that cortBnission to do. If they want to maintain a commission, the whole idea behind the commission process in the first place was to have a pro-active type of cortmission, rather than a reactive type of comnission. That was the reason the work plan process was set up--to be an idea-generating process by the comnissioners. The City Council is not going to get the study or PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 9, 1983 PAGE 9 the information they need to make a decision on a specific project by sending it to an established commission, because the people involved in that commission may not be at all interested in that issue and are not going to give the City Council the reaction needed. Mr. Schneider stated he agreed with Mr. Oquist--that at least some general direction will have to be given to the Correnunity Development Commission, Ms. Schnabel stated she was a little bit concerned about the combining of the Energy Cortrnission and Environmental Quality Comnission. She would urge the City Council to move very carefully when they make that decision. Mr. boardman stated he did not feel it would hurt, because there are environmental issues that are also energy issues. He thought the canbination of the two commissions into one commission would be a good marriage. Mr. Saba stated the problem with canbining the two cortmissions is the expertise. The expertise in the environmental field such as wel] pollution, traffic pollution, noise pollution, etc., are not similar issues, and there could be some problems in working together. In energy, they want people who are knowledgeable and excited about energy issues and who want to work in that area. Mr, Schneider stated he, too, was a little uncomfortable with combining the two commissions. The Energy Commission is a very pro-active commission, whereas the Environmental Quality Camnission seems to be a staff-dominated canmission. With all the environmental issues thbt are happening right now, he would expect to be getti�g calls from every one of the EQC members to find out what is going on, and to be taking some actions, setting up meetings, etc. Mr. Boardman stated Staff is trying to get out of the business of creating business for commissions. Staff wil] help as much as Qossible �o carry out the ideas already generated by the cortmissions. The work has to be generated by the commissions. If it isn't, then the cortmission process has to be rethought, and it has to be done right now. That is why the work plan process is so important, because the ideas being generated by the canmission members are things the commission members are interested in doing. Mr. Oquist stated he agreed with Mr. Saba that there are two different kinds of expertise involved with energy and environmental issues. Those are two commissions that really require their own expertise. Mr, Saba stated there are times when it would be very advantageous for the two commissions to meet jointly, but in terms of hazardous waste, noise pollution, water pollution, and traffic pollution, those are not energy-related issues.

Auditor's Subdivision No. 71� the same being 1355 and 7365 East River Road. Mr. Boardman stated the proposal is to sp]it off Parcel B from Parcel A. O�e of the stipulations would be a park fee. A park fee is required as part of a lot split. The park fee would be E635.40. Staff would also recormend two other stipulations: (1) a 45 ft, easement off fast River Road for road right-of-way on Parcel A and B to allow for future expansion of East River Road; and (2) a 10 ft. drainage easement on the north side of Parcel A. Mr. John Crouch stated he was reQresenting Kunz Oil Company. He stated it seemed to him that it should be the County that insists upon the easement and not the City. The County has the power of eminent domain, and the Lounty has the obligation under the law to pay for private property when they take it. He stated their request to divide this parcel of land� 1,86 acres, clearly undeveloped� clearly not producing the real estate tax revenue it can for the schoo] district� the city. and the county, was a very simple request, Ne frankly thought the Lity had no right or power to take 45 ft, of this property at this time� but that was for the City's legal staff to advise them. He knew that under the statutes and the case law, the City could take the park dedication fee and the utility easement around the perimeter of the property, and he would not object to those stipulations. But� in talking about the 45 ft.� let the County condemn it and then the Lounty can pay for that land. He thought to take 45 ft. of this property was u�lawful, and he woutd not agree with that stipulation. NOTION BY !!R. OpUIST� SECONDED BY MR.

CENTER CITY DISTRICT A, Phase II Improvements 1. ltemo l+83-01 from Exetutive Director Mr. Boardman stated there are several steps in the Center City District. The first phase (covered in Memo �83-01) deals with the overall project. At different stages, the HRA has looked at HOIISING d REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, JANUARY 13, 1983 PAGE 2 different parts of the plan and have aparoved diffetent bulldinn construction. He felt they were now looking at approving the final Phase II layout and to petition the City to do the parking lot improveMents that were conditioned under the contract with the office building, In Resolution No. HRA 1-1982, the HRA had petitioned the City to do 64th Ave. He stated that in regard to 64th Ave., the sewer and water are already io, and street surfacinq, curb and gutter will be done in the spring. Mr. Boardman stated representatives from the Finance �ept, ard the Engineering Dept. �rere at the neeting to anso�r any questions the HRA might have. Mr. Comners asked what the agreement was with the City in regard to the parking )ot at this time. Mr. 8oardman stated the agreement they have at this time with Mr. Haggerty is to provide a 166-stall parking lot� and within that agree�ent, the HRA would lease the parking lot to ►1r. Haggerty. He stated he has talked to Mr, Quresh�� and tney have reachea a tentative agreement on the maintenance of the parking lot. In the "A9reement of Cooperation between the City of Fridley and the Fridley Housing 8 Redevelopment Authority", the HRA is a9reein� to construct a 166-stall parking lot that will be shared between the City and the office building, The HRA is requestinq the City to do the maintenance, but the HRA will be assessed for the construc- tion of that parking lot. In return for the construction of the parking lot, the City, as part of their regular maintenance of City Ha11� would also carry out the maintenance on the parking lot. Ms. Svendsen stated that in the "Agreement of Cooperation", one of the things tisted in the regular maintenance was "repairing". Did this include resurfacing of the parking lot? Mr. Boardma� stated resurfacing is included as part of the maintenance responsibilitzy. Mr. Boardman stated he would like the HRA to approve the "Agreement of Cooperation" and submit it to the City Louncil for approval. Mr. Cormers stated that in looking at the proposal� he noticed the parking lot has been written in at 5140,000, but there was nothing about a firemen's parking lot. Mr. Boardman sYated that. at that time, the firemen's parking lot was included as part of the plaza area. llith the development of the plaza area, they took out the old firemen's parking lot and re- designed the area. They were looking at breaking that out as a separate cost. There were two ways of handling it--they could do it as part of the street project artd assess 9t, or they could do it as part of the plaza. When they did the initial review of the parking HOUSIN6 6 REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, JANUARY 13, 1983 PAGE 3 lot about one year ago, it was estinated at 5109,000 which did not include the lighting. irri�ation� or landscaping. They have now completed the designs on the parking lots, and the costs the HRA had were the engineering estimates for the office/city hall parking lot and the firemen's parking lot. He stated fie would like approval so the City can go afiead with the bidding process. They fiope to go out for bids by early March. 2. Plaza Design Dresentation - InterDesign. Inc. Mr. Harold Skjelbostad, InterDesign, Inc.. reviewed the final plaza design proposal which incorporated the ideas and discussion of the HRA meetir.g on Sept. 23. 1982. Mr. Schneider stated he was concerned, fro� an aesthetic Qoint of view, about the cars in the firemen's parking lot. Mr, Skjelbostad stated that has been discussed, and one thing that would help in screening the lot was the existing chain link fence along University Ave. For the median strip they are proposing Aetween the service road and University, they are looking at a grass mixture that would grow higher tha� the average type of grass. They are also looking at depressing the firemen's parking lot to a certain extent. Mr, Commers asked if the firenen's parking lot could be moved north of the Fire Station where Mr, Haggerty's office building is now located. Mr, �ureshi stated the firemen are very happy with this layout. The parking lot'has t� be very close to the Fire Station entrance, as every second is critical when there is a fire. Mr. Clark stated there was also the contern of having people running across the police emergency lane. Mr, Prairie asked how many cars would be parked in the firemen's parking lot on an average day. Mr. Clark stated that during the day, there are probably less than six cars in the lot, except when there is a fire. Mr. 5chneider stated that fron his point of view, the six cars that woutd be there during the day would seem to be a continual visual distraction. He stated a possible solution would be for the day Fire Station staff to park eTse�ahere and use this lot only for the people responding to a fire cal]. Mr. Qureshi stated they could attempt to give alternate space for those people on duty and restrict this lot to smergency use only. HOUSIN6 5 REDEVELOPMENT AU7HORITY MEETING, JANUARV 13 1983 ' PAGE 4 Mr. Skjelbostad reviewed the Site Development Costs for the plaza, totalling 5294�371. Alternates were irrigation, crosswalk pavers, and parking lot planLings totalling 533,824. Grand total with alternates was 5328.195. Mr. Qureshi stated thai if it is the desire of the HRA and the Citv Council to proceed with the total project, he would recommend they proceed as quickly as possible as the timing and the biddina climate are very good right now. Mr. Rasmussen stated he felt it was very important to keep the momentum qoing, There is building going on� the p]aza is cormiitted, and he thought the plaza price looked pretty good. Mr. Cormiers asked if it was the desire of the City Council to do the plaza in one tump sum at this time; and if so. would the City Council be willing to contribute anything to the project? Mayor Nee stated the Lity Council members were quite excited about the plaza. He stated Staff has asked the City Council if they would be wilting to contribute in socie way, and he thought the City Counci) menbers were at the meeting to try to work sanething out if the proposal was something the HRA was willing to do. Mr.Qureshi stated that in a discussion with the City Council, he had suggested a reasonable approach for the City Council to take. They are providing a revised parking lot for the fire services, and there might be some justification for the City to take the responsibility of redoing the firemen'S parking lot and also provide for some of the cosi of the signaqe. Also, because it is kind of joint effori in that the HRA is providing the parking, landscaping and plaza area, the City could provide for the maintenance of these facilities. He stated the iotal the City would be contribuLing would be around 530,00�. Mr, Qureshi stated they feel they will also be �edoing 5th St. to handle the traffic. and the improvement and upgrading of 5th St, would also be a contribution by the City. MOTIO2J BY HR.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL YOTING AYE, VICE-CNAIRPERSON VOS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. DISCU$5 1982 WDRK PLAN: Dr. Vos reviewed the 1482 work plan with the Comnission members. GOAL #1: COMMUNITY DEUELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT Dr. Vos stated the Comnission members did gather information and make recomnendations for CDBG funding to City Council. The Coinnission also held a public meeting for the purpose of carmunity input� but the attendance was very poor. GOAL �2: HOUSING - To ensure adequate housing opportunities for the reside�ts of fridley Dr. Yos stated the Commission did not review the existing zoning as tfiey had reviewed and recommended changes to the Zoning Code a couple of years ago. They did review the comprehensive plan. 0 COtR�1UNITY DEYELOPMENT COh�1IS5I0N MEETING, FEBRUARY 8, 1983 PAGE 2 Dr, Vos stated the Comnission members had spent quite some time discussing the need for an additional program for a single family ownership maintenance code {Truth-in-Housing). They had a guest speaker. Bob lines`of the City of Minneapolis Inspection Dept., who explained the program and how it worked in Minneapolis. He stated the Comnission members were in favor of this program in fridley, but they did not receive any support for the program from the City Council. Dr. Vos stated rehabilitation programs were discussed at the time they were gathering information for CD86 funds, Dr, Vos stated 5haron Gustafson was appointed representative to the Anoka County Housing Resource Board and had attended several meetings before her resignation from the Cortmission. The purpose of that Board was to provide for equal housing opportunities in Anoka County. GOAL #3: COMMUNICATIONS - To promote citizen awareness of Cortmunity Uevelopment Camiission actions Dr. Yos stated he thought all the coamissions preparing work plans had this as a goal, The Comnission did spend a lot of time discussing the establish- ment of a project canmittee to organize a"planning day" with the citizens, civic leaders. city staff inembers, and comnission members. Larry 01son, Chairperson of the New Brighton Study Committee that sponsors the New Brighton Town Hall meetings, was a guest speaker at one of the Cortmission's meetings. The Commission members were very interested in some kind of "planning day" but again did not receive any support from the City Council. GOAL N4: NEIGHBORHOODS - To ensure adequate development of neighborhood and neighborhood access Dr, Yos stated this was an item the City Counci] had sent down to the Comnission. The City Council wanted neighborhoods established with identifiable signage, The Cortmission had discussed it. The Cortmission members felt the neighborhood concept was good, but that signage would not do what it was intended to do and they did not feel it was worth pursuing at that time. Dr. Yos stated the Commission continued to keep updated on the existing bikeway/walkway system. A new strip of bikeway/walkway was put in along University Ave. from Mississippi to 69th. They also discussed what could be done as far as a bikeway along Mississippi St. Dr. Vos stated public transportation for the elderly and handicapped was discussed at the public hearing he]d for cortmunity input on CDBG funds. 2. DISCUSS STATUS OF COMMISSION: Mr. Hill stated the Commissio� members had received a memo dated Feb, 2, 1983, from Councilman Ed Hamernik expressing some of his concerns about the elimrnatian of the Comnunity Development Comnission. Mr. Hamernik feTt comnunity development was an important aspect of the City and there should be citizen input to the Planning Comnission in this re9ard. COMMUNI7M DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIQN MEETING FEBRUARY 8 1983 PAGE 3 Mr. Hilt stated he woutd also not like to see the Cortmunity Development Cmrmission eliminated, if at all possible. He would like to spend sane time at this meeting brainstorming some ideas about some areas the Comnunity Development Comnission might want to be involved in over the next year. Mr. Hill stated tfiat at the special Human Resources Comnission/Camwnity Develop- ment Comnission meeting on Jan. 27 on CDBG's, he thought some of the Cortenunity Development Comnission members had voiced an interest in following up on some of the CDBG projects such as sma71 business loans and rehab loans to housing, Mr. Hi11 stated that when the Community Development Cortmission was established, one of its tasks was in economic development. He stated there are a lot of small businesses within the City of Fridley� and there are a lot of things the Comnission could do through the small business administration concerning loans, literature, and supporting the Toastmaster Programs from a city government and cortmission perspec- tive. As they get involved in economic development, a lot of the economic develop- ment is in redevelopnent projects of current businesses expanding, The City is trying to keep these businesses in Fridley. and the Comnission might do something in an advisory capacity. Many times in talking to small business people about redevelopment, the City finds these properties are not in code canpliance. It is sanetimes very expensive to brin9 these properties and buildings up to code. This can be quite irritating to the small business people v�hen the City asks for land- scaping, screening, concrete curbing, etc. Maybe the Comnission could serve as a resource in helping the small business person get additionai monies for the purpose of bringing the property and buildings up to code. Mr, Hill stated another possibility in economic development would be for the Cortmission to act as a task force to the HRA to receive and pass on additional citizen input to the HRA as the HRA receives new projects. Mr. Hill stated the Commission could look at rehab that could tie in with CDBG monies as far as additions to existin houses. energy as far as retrofitting, and code compliance (Truth-in-Housing� In the transportation area, the Human Resources Comnission will proDably be doing sanething in that area, but a joi�t project between the Human ResourCes Commission and the Cortmunity Development Comnission was very feasible. Mr. Hill stated some other ideas might be in camiunity projects--being a project comnittee for the 49'er Days celebration or same other city celebrations, the Ethnic Day Festival, or being a liaison between the Ctty and various service organi- zations in the comnunity such as the Chamber of Ca�merce, etc. Mr. Hill stated the State of Minnesota, through their Planning, Energy and Economic Developnent Dept., has what is called a"Star City Program". As industries from out of state contact this department, Star Cities will receive referrals from the companies that are interested in building. If a ca�munity does not hav e the "Star City" classification, its name does not get passed on to these canpanies. In o rder to be a Star City, there are a number of steps that have to be completed. CONMUNITY DEYELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 8)983 PAGE 4 The City of Fridley has accomplished most of the steps. However, after the Lity did the cost analysis, they felt they probably should not be promoting it. because most of the iand the City has available has a lot of drainage and soil problems. The City felt being in this program may not be that advantageous so the program has been stalled for right now. 3. FQRMtJLATE 1983 WORK PLAN: Mr. Hiil stated the Commission is going to have to formulate some specific recomnendations on what the Comnission would like to get involved in for 1983 and pass these recomnendations on to the City Council. He felt they should have their recomnendations ready for the City Council's conference meeting in March. The Comnissian members set a special meeting for Tues., Mar. 1, at 7:30 p.m, for the purpose of formulating sane specific recomnendations for the 1983 work plan, Mr, Hill stated that if the Cor�nission members needed any inforniation before the next meeting, they were free to contact him as he was their resource person.

Mr. Hill submitted drawings to the Commission and said that the petitioner has withdrawn his request for the south side yard varia�ce, and that 7 feet has been agreed upon by the parties. Mr. Siverts was present for this matter. Ms. Gabel said she spoke with Mr. Clark and the fence is not structurally sound as it stands now and these plans are what is necessary to make the fence structurally sound; that the specifications have to be followed. Mrs. Gerou stated she visited the area and found the fence to be wobbly, tied with phone Nire, that the vertical boards are uneven and do not run in a straight line and the horizontat boards are bowed. She also said the angte support beams are on the neighbor's side of the fence and 3 feet of the fence is above the �veals Comoission Meetina —Februnrv 75 7983 Pave 2 support 6eams. t�s. Ga6e1 said, according to the blueprint, the fence can be made structurally sound. Mrs. Gerou asked the petitioner why the angle support beams are facing the neigfibor's and if fie takes care of the property on the other side of the fence. Mr. Siverts said the support 6eams are on his property and he does not take care of the property on the other side of the fence. Ms. Gabel noted that his neigh6or o6jected to that at the last hearing. Mr. Barna said he visited the area and iooked at the watkway at the Medtronics 6uilding and he could not see the hardship as stated and said the Comnission is looking for a sounder hardship. He said the parking lot is not on the street side and he does not have street sounds. Ms. 6abe1 said she visited the area also and that everyone in the neighborhood is subject to the snme conditions and if they allowed a 10-foot fence to be put up, the whole neighborhood could put one up. Mr. Siverts asked if the Comnission thought the fence would be out of place aesthetically and Ms. Gabel, Mrs. Gerou, Mr. Barna and Mr. Betzold agreed it would. He then asked how important the neighbors opinions were and Ms. Gabel said it is one factor and that is why the public hearing notices are sent out and having a definite hardship is another factor. Mr. Barna said if objections exist either with the neighbors or the commission, then it is up to the City Council and even if the fence was a joint venture with the neighbors, there would stiil have to be a hardship. Mr. Siverts presented two letters from two neighbors who had no objection to the fence. MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded 6y Mr. Barna, to receive the two letters from Mr. Siverts' neighbors and they 6oth do not object to the fence. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPER50N GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. 5iverts said there is a constant humning sound coming from somewhere and Mr. Barna said that it was the reflection of sound of tires off Highway 65. Mr. Siverts felt the fe�ce would 6e a protector from he sound and in some placed a 7 foot fence would not 6e adequate because of the elevation of the terrain in the area. MOTION Dy Mr. Barna, seconded 6y Mr. BetZOld, to ciose the public Aearing. UPON A YOICE YDTE, ALL YOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:00 p.M. Mr. Betzold said he has visited the area during the daytime and evening and he is not convinced of the hardship. Mr. Plemel said the Siverts' home is in a unique setting and did not see where the fence vro uid be readily visible by others. Mrs. 6erou felt the fence is an eyesore and was not convinced of the hardship. Ms. Gabel said she was not convinced of the hardship either. MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, that the Appeals Commission reco�nend to the City Council, through the Planning Comaission, denial of the variance request to increase the maximum height of a fence from 7 feet to 10 feet in the rear yard and side yards of Lot C, Registered Land Survey No. 3, the same being 6850 Siverts Lane N.E., Fridley, Minnesota, 55432.

UPON A YOICE VOTE, ALL VOTIN6 AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:05 P.R. Ms. Yivian Hoese was present for this matter. Mr. Hill presented the Commission with plans of the proposed addition. Ms. Noese said they would probably put the airconditioning unit on the roof of the building. Ms. Ga6e1 asked if there would be a loss of parking and Ms . Hoese said there would not be and Mr. Nill stated thv ,pu1d still 6e within the code but tfiey are asking the petitioner to reptace t' temporary 6umper 6locks with poured concrete. The additional landscapinq �gested in the Staff Report was questioned and Mr. Hill noted tfiat the landscaping �peared adequate.. Ms. Hoese stated that the patient and empioyee parking will be eparated and there will be no problems with entrances and exits. Mr. Hill said that Items 3 and 4 on the 4taff Report, regarding parking, may not be feasibie for this situation. Ms. Gal�el noted that all they are doing is just extending what they fiave done previously and she could not see any problems. Mr. Bar�a said his only question he had was visibility in the parking lot and he drove through the area and found no problems. Chairperson Gabel read the Staff Report: ADMINISTRA7IYE STAFF REPORT 7675 Nadison Street N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERYED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.1i3, 4(b) requires a minimum of 15 feet for a side yard setback. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide adequate open space around commercial structures for aesthetic and fire fighting purposes. B. �TA7ED HARDSHIP: "Existing sideyard setback is 13 feet. Mew addition would be built even with existing building. Additional space is needed for offices, orth�paedic coverage and physical therapy." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFf REVIEW: This repuest is to vary a side yard setback in a CR-i District from the required 15 feet to 13 feet, to enable con5truction of a 68 foot by 48 foot (3.264 sQuare feetj addition to an existing structure. This addition will be used for additional affice space and patient treatment rooms. On September 13. 1976, two variances were approved by the City Council: a front yard parking setback from 20 feet to 0 feet and a rear yard Euilding setback from 25 feet to 13 feet. However, thi5 request should have been to vary a side yard parking setback from 5 feet to 0 ieet and another side yard building setback from 15 feet to 13 feet. The actual variances would vary less than the request and since there was no opposition to the variance or construction, the request was not changed. If this variance is approved, the Appeals Commission may want to consider the following: �peals Commission hleeting - February 15, 1983 Paae 4 2. 4. upgrade temporary concreLe curbing to permanent 6 inch poured concrete. plant additional landscape/screen along Osborne Road and Madison St reet . parking aisles are not 25 feet, but 20 feet parking stalls are not 10 feet by 20 feeL, but 10 feet by 15 feet. Items 3 and 4 may nat be feaisble to complete. except to the south of the building. MOTION by Mr. Betzold, secortded by Mr. Barna, to close the public hearing. UPON A YOICE YOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:17 P.M. Mr. Barna said that this does provide ope� space around the structure for aesthetic and fire fighting purposes; it is still accessibte and the addition will not chan9e anything. Mr. Plemel stated he had no objection to this addition. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, that the Appeals Cortmission recortmend to t�Fe City Council, through the Pianning Co�nission, approval of the variance request to reduce the required side yard setback from 15 feet to 13 feet, to allow the construction of an addition of approximately 3,000 square feet, to be used for additional office and medical space, located on the north 400 feet of the west 217.8 feet of Outlot 1, Melody Manor 4th Addition, the same being 7675 Madison Street N.E., Fridley, Minnesota, 55432, with the stipulation that the petitioner upgrade the temporary concrete curbing to permanent 6 inch poured concrete. UPON A VOICE YOTE, ALL Y07ING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECIARED THE PIQTION CARRIED UNANIMDUSLY. OTHER BUSINESS: Ms. Gabe1 said she has spoken to Mr. Deblon and apparently he had a variance request that he thought was withdrawn and the petitioner tfwught it was on the agenda and further stated they could discuss this matter 6ut the Comnission could take no action on it as there had bee� no pu6lic notices sent out, etc. Mr. Hi1i explained that Mr.�s cerdin was purchasing a Bome from 6lanche Erkel and they made a re- quest sometime in the middle of January to vary the code �egarding the flood plain. Apparently, Mr. �rd� was planning to convert the present garage into living quarters and to cortstruct a new garage in front of the present ga�age. He stated that the City ordinance, t6e Department of Naiural Resources and the federal govern- ment does not allow any building to exist below the flood elevation. He also stated that this situation might require a special use permit rather than a variance and Lo go through the Planning Commission on March 16th. Ms. Gabel said the City staff is doing some research on this now as this is a non-conforming use. Mr. Hill suggested the petitioner to give some consideration to constructing vertical rather than horizontal; that by 6uilding up, they woutd 6e outside tf�e flood elevatton. Mr. Hill thought it best that the parties invotved get together with the Staff to discuss this situation. Mrs. E�kel saSd sfie fias taTked ta the neighbors and they have no objections. Ms. Ga6e1 said she could not see any problems either except for the flood platn restrictions. Appeals Coronission Meeting - Fe6ruary 15, 1963 Paae 5 Mr. Hilt said that any construction done rould have to go before the DNR and Rice Creek Watershed for approval. Mrs. Erke1 said she bought the house in 1964 and as far as she knew, there have 6een no problems Nith floodtng for 82 years. Mr. Hill stated that as of January 1, 1983, the State has requtred the City to file with Anoka County any variances, special use permits and lot splits and they wi11 become part of the deed.

UPON R VOICE YOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GOODSPEED DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION OF 1983 WORK PLAN: Mr. Treuenfels stated one major area under "Human Rights" would be to get the No-Fault Grievance Procedure committee off the ground. He stated he had contacted the person who is in charge of training local No-Fault Grievance Procedure committees. Earlier, the question had been: What is going to happen to the policy at the State Department of Human Rights now that there is a new canmissioner? The Human Resources Comnission had held off in d�ing any publicizing for members for a committee in Fridley until they had a clear idea of the direction the new commissioner would take. Mr. Treuenfels stated the word is that the new commissioner is very much in favor of local grieva�ce comnittees, realizes the caseload is too heavy for the State to handle and handle effectively, and that they desperately need local grievance cortmittees to help reduce the caseload. Even though there had been ta7k about sane budget cuts which would have cut these training programs, the State Depart- ment of Human Rights has changed its mind and is proposing that cortmunities go ahead with forming the comnittees. It sounded like training programs would go on on a regular schedule, Mr. Goodspeed stated Ms, van Dan indicated she would take the area of "volunteerism", She had been unable to attend this meeting. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 16, 1983 PAGE 2 Mr. Goodspeed stated he was looking into rehab, particularly in the area of low interest loans for commercial rehab (an item recanmended for CDBG funding by the Human Resources Comnission and Community Development Commission)--conducting a study to see if businesses would be interested in borrowing low interest money for rehab, on the assumption that if businesses were interested, the Human Resources Camnission would recanmend to City Council that money be obtained through some means, such as CDBG funding, to start such a program. ' Mr. Treuenfels stated this could be a worthwhile project and one they should look into. Mr. Goodspeed asked how a loan canpany could be set up and who would decide which businesses would be a good risk. Mr. Hill stated there were a coup7e of different ways this could be set up. One way would be similar to the human services program as far as setting up some kind of point system. The Human Resources Commission would be responsible for receiving all the applications, based on some type of point system, refer them to a bank; or have the applicants go to the bank and have a loan officer who would be in charge of administration of the loan program 6ring eligible applicants back to the Comnission. Mr. Hill stated the Community Development Comnission is 31so looking at the possi- bility of setting up a local develop�nt corporation. If this happened, the Human Resources Comission could use that type of organization for the administra- tion of any type of loan program that might be set up in the future. Mr. Hill stated the transportation study brought up by Mr. Boergerhoff at the last meetinq was something that shouid be looked at as a possibility in the future--what has been done in the metropolitan area and in the suburban areas, specifically the north suburban areas. Mr. Treuenfels stated the point made at the January 27th meeting was that trans- portation involves more than just Fridley, and that is why Mr. Boergerhoff suggested contacting the neighboring cor�anunities to discuss it with them. Mr. Treuenfels stated he felt that in most suburban canmunities, there are exce]]ent connections between the suburb and the downtown area, but relatively few cross connections between suburbs. This might be something for the Commission to look into. There could possibly be a need for people to get to specific areas-- shopping, entertainment, churches, canmunity colleges, etc. Mr. Treuenfels stated the Comnission may want to take a look at civilian defense-- looking at realistic suggestions and alternatives for civil defense in the community. Mr. Hill stated a valuabie resource would be through Jim Hili, Public Safety Director, who works with the Civil Defense program, Mr. Treuenfels stated that if there is a realistic plan, the Comnission cauld write up a summary to be published in the Fridley city newsletter. HUPIAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 16, 1983 PAGE 3 Mr. Hill stated they should also include natural disasters such as tornadoes. Mr. Hill stated an objective the Canmission had last year was assessing day care �acilities. Did the Commission want to take another look at this for 1983? Ms. Noble stated this was an area of interest to her. She stated that even though she was not continuing as a corrmission member, if she'had the opportunity to find out any new information, she would pass it on to the Comnission. Mr. Hill stated sane areas the Commission might want to explore that are somewhat �ew in providing day care are some of the local service organizations (Chamber of Comnerce, Jaycees, Lions Club, Kiwanis Club) when these organizations are looking for comnunity projects or putting money behind community projects. Mr. Hill asked if there were any areas for the disabled the Commission would want to look into. Last year, the Commission concentrated on the area of accessi- bility for the disabled, but there are a number of other areas; for example, employment, education, etc. Mr. Treuenfels stated it could be put on the work plan to see if there is any interest in pursuing something more in the area of the disabled, Mr. Treuenfels stated the Commission should continue to review and keep abreast of the Affirmative Action Program in the City of Fridley. Mr. Hill stated "communications" was another goal that would be ongoing. This year there may be a need for additional input from the commissions to encourage city officials to be more visible to the public. Mr. Treuenfels stated he had a copy of "Guidelines for Funding Proposals" developed by Dist. #14 Community Schools Advisory Council. He would 7ike the Commission to look at these procedures and see if there were any areas the Comnission might have overlooked in their own funding guidelines or if any changes shouid be made. Mr. Hill stated the Canmission should have a formal work plan written sometime in March so they could present it to the City Council at a conference meeting at the end of March. Mr. Goodspeed stated that if there were any prospective new commissioners, even though they are not formally a part of the Commission until April, he would like to invite them to the March meeting so they could get in on the work plan prepara- tion. Ne stated it had been very helpful for him caning in as a new canmissioner to attend an earlier meeting. 2. DISCUSSION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK 6RAN7 MONIES - 1983 AND 1983: Mr. Hill stated the recorcmendations made by the Human Resources Corrmission and Community Development Commission would go to the City Council on Feb. 28. He stated the Carimission members may want to attend that meeting. Mr. Boardman then has until March 1 to submit the app7ications to Anoka County for the disburse- ment of those funds. HUMAN RESOURCES CO�MISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 16, 1983 PAGE 4 Mr. Treuenfels stated that about a week ago, he was told that the Community Schools Advisory Council was told that the Human Resources Comnission had already alTocated $4,000 to Community Education. The money was apparently to be used for a part-time staff person for the senior citizen program. Mr: Treuenfels stated he was really surprised when he heard about this. He had called Mr. Myhra, who was also surprised. Mr. Treuenfels stated he had contacted Mr. Boardman and was informed no such money had been allocated. ' Mr. Hill stated that about six months ago, the City Councii made a donation out of the General Fund to the Comnunity Education center. He believed the donation was about $4-5,000. It did not come from CDBG monies or from the Human Resources Cor.mission but from the City of Fridiey. He stated he vrould verify this informa- tion for the next meeting, Mr. Treuenfels stated he would appreciate that and asked Mr.Hi7] to pass this information on to Mr. Myhra. 3.

Condo Project (Hearing for HRA Consideration) (Memo N83-11 from Executive Director) Mr. Cortmers asked Mr. Boardman to give a brief update of what has taken place since the public hearing on Dec. 9, 1982. He would also like Mr. Boardman to give a brief sumnary of the project itself. Mr. Boardman indicated the tax increment district on the map. He stated several things were looked at in the establishment of a tax increment district. First of all, there are extreme traffic problems at the inter- section of 01d Central and Highway 65. plus a great deal of traffic that is being generated along Old Central due to the connection with Highway 65 and the industries north of this area. With the tax increment district, the City is looking at the possibility of trying to divert Old Central traffic to Highway 65 which would call for sane intersection modifications. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 17 1983 PAGE 2 Mr. Boardman stated another thing that would have to be done in conjunc- tion with the development of the drive-in property would be the inter- section modification at Old Central and Highway 65 to create an easier flow of traffic up Old Central. Another reason for the estabtishment of the tax increment district is the draina9e and clean-up of Moore Lake. The clean-up is very expensive. EPA monies have been put into it, but there also has to be sane matching city monies. The reasoning behind a tax increment district is the development will pay for the tax improve- ments within the district. Mr. Boardman stated Mr, Erland Ekberg, who is the developer, made a proposal at the Dec. 9, 1982, HRA meetinq, to put in two 12-story condo- minium towers, four units per floor, approx. 1,500 sq. ft. per unit. The towers, in conjunction with the overall project, would be an approx. $15 miTlion project. The proposed stte Mr. Ekberg had selected was the site which included seven property owners, a vacant property, and part of a cortmerciai property to the north. Mr. Boardman stated there was a lot of discussion at the Dec. 9 meeting. The suggestion was made at the meeting that a neighborhood committee be formed to sit down with the HRA and the developer to see if any com- promises could be made. Mr, Boardman stated that at the first meet�ng on Jan. 4 with the neighbor- hood, approximately 12-13 people were in attendance. At the meeting, the people indicated that if the project was moved north of the property owners, at least the acquisition of the property would be feasible. How- ever, there were still questions about access and hei9ht of the towers. Mr, Boardman stated Mr. Ekberg did take a look at the recomnendations the neighborhood committee suggested, looked at the soil problems that would be entailed in moving the project to the north, and came back with a proposal that suggested leaving three houses, but still taking the Dan Nelson property and one other property to the north. Since this was not the suggested change made at the Jan. 4th meeting, it was necessary to go back to the neighborhood committee with this proposed change. That was done on Feb. 9. At that meeting, the committee was unwilling to look at the developer's change as a canpromise and stated there was no com- promise if the project could not be moved north. Mr. Boardman stated he had a conversation with Mr. Ekberg that day, and Mr. Ekberg stated that with sane assistance from the HRA for soil correc- tion and sane slight modifications in the direction Of the buildings, he felt he probably could move the project to the north. It would be north of the line the neighborhood committee suggested on Feb. 9, which is north of the Nelson's property; however, it would still take the vacant property and the property owned by Scott Kohanek. Mr. Ekberg still feels it is imperative to the project to have access onto Old Central. As far as assistance fran the HRA, that has not 6een discussed. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 17L 1983 PAGE 3 Mr. Scott Kohanek stated he is the property owner most a�fected, and he has not been notified about any meetings, other than tihe public hearing on Dec. 9. Mr, Boar�nan stated that because of an emergency, Mr. Ekberg could not be at the meeting; however, his wife and son were representing the project. Mr. Craig Ekberg stated he had met that day with his father who briefly went over the project. He stated it is basica)ly as Mr. Boardman has outlined--moving the towers to the north and shifting the direction of the towers approx. 15� to the snuth to get a view over the lake. Mr. Boardman stated there would have to be some further exploration of the soil in that area. They do have some soil borings in there, and he thought there would have to be some soil correction, He did not feel the soil correction would jeopardize the project or take all the tax incre- ment generated from the project. Mr. Commers stated it might be premature to decide on a right of develop- ment at this time, because they do not know all the facts with respect to assistance and soil correction. Was it possible the project might not be feasible? Mr. Boardman stated it was possible, but he would doubt it with this kind of project. It is a$15 million project and will generate consider- able amount of tax increment. If the HRA does give a right of develop- ment, it should be a conditional right of development until these thinqs could be brought back for approval by the HRA. Considerable work is � going to have to be done before the NRA can give a formal riqht of development. Mr. Commers stated they would open the hearing up for canments from the audie�ce. He stated he would like saneone who was present at the Feb, 9 neighDorhood meeting to present his/her understanding of what transpired with the developer, Ms. Jackie Lentz, 6053 Central Ave., stated Mr. Boardman had outlined the meeting very well. Besides the question of the properties being razed, there was still a lot of concern about the height of the buildings and the access onto Old Central. One thing that was mentioned to Mr. Boardman at one of the meetings was that, if indeed the proposal was moved to the north, then those people who would be subsequently affected should be notified. She did not know if that was done. Mr. Boardman stated the primary person who wonld be affected from the proposal being moved to the north was Max Saliterman and he has been contacted. The property to the east is Tom Brickner's property, and Mr. Brickner has indicated his support of the project. HOUSING 6 REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 17, 1983 PAGE 4 Ms. Lentz stated that, to her knowledge, Mr. Kohanek was not at either neighborhood meeting. How that had happened, she did not know. Mr. Dan Nelson stated he was the property owner of the site in question, He stated they have been discussing the pros and cons of this project since the Dec. 9th meeting. He stated City Staff keeps reviewing the tax structure, the dollars, etc., however, the citizens are not only looking at the tax structure, but what the pride of ownership, aesthetics, etc., mean to them, In order to get a handle on the tax dollar, he had taken it upon himsetf to get some facts and figures from City Hall. He would like to present these figures at this time. Mr,Nelson stated Fridley has a population of 30,D00 people. In the 1983 city budget, it is going to cost $6,307,b59 to run the city, and the cost to run the city per person is $210. The average number of persons per family in Fridley is 2.8 persons. 7aking the population of 30,OOD and dividing it by 2.8 persons per family, he came up with i0,714 taxable units. Mr. Ne)son stated he was now going to talk about the $150,D00 valuation which was the average cost of each condo unit. The homestead tax on $750,OD0 valuation is $3,OOD. Ninety-six units X$3,ODD brings in a gross tax increase of $288,000. By having 96 units and 2.8 persons per unit, the population in Fridley will be increased by 268.8 persons. Taking that number and multiplying the cost per person of $210, it is going to cost the City $56,448 to govern the additional people living in the condominiums. Taking the gross tax and subtracting the cost of governing the people, he got an adjusted gain in the tax of only $231,552. Mr. Nelson stated epproximately 10 acres of land is involved in this project. Using 3 homes per acre = 30 hanes. In keeping with the $150,000 valuation, 30 X$3,000 (homestead tax) brings about a tax increase at that point of $90,000. By having homes in there, it would increase the populati�n by only 84, which is less than 1/3 of the pop- ulation the condos would bring. The cost of governing the 84 people would be $17,640. Taking the gross of E90,000 and subtracting the cost of governing the people of $17,64D equals a net gain in taxes of a72,360. Going back to the adjusted tax on the condo of $231,552 minus the net gain of $72,360 canes up with $159,192 in increased taxes fran the condo. That amounts to only 1/4 of 1% of the city budget. Taking that increase and dividing it by the number of units in the City of Fridiey, it comes out to $14.85. Out of that E14.85, the City has to pay the cost of acquiring the properties which could be very expensive,and they have to spend money on redirecting the traffic. So, they are looking at selling their most valuable birthright, home ownership, for less money that it costs to take a spouse out to dinner, $14.85, and he did not think it was worth it: HOUSING b REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 17, 1983 PAGE 5 Mr. Comners stated that with the E159,192 in increased t�xes mentioned by Mr. Nelson, they also had to take into consideration that that money would be avaitable each year thereafter if the project went through. Mr. Cortmers asked Mr. Nelson what his feelings were in regard to the proposat to move the project north of his property. Mr. Nelson stated when he bought his property and bui7t his house, he was aware the property north of him was comnercial. In buildinq, he allowed a barrier of trees and a 6 ft, cyclone fence. He realized he would have no control over what went in north of him because of the comnercial zoning, He stated he would rather not see big towers there; he would rather see private enterprise take over and put in office buildings or whatever. Mr. Boardman stated he has done some analysis as far as the generation of taxes. They must u�derstand that in tax increment, they do get the captured value over and above the existing tax. The captured value means the amount of tax tfiat is generated,the amount of tax returned from the 5tate for homesteed, If this project went in, that taxes that would be generated per year would be approx. $394,080. That would be the total tax based on the mill rate in this area. Based on this, tfiey could sell a little over $3 million worth of bond. They look at the tax that is generated and base that over the life of that bond which is generally a 15-yr, bond. That is where they get the money and revenue that is generated to do the acquisition. Ms. Barb Reiland, 6068 Woody Lane, asked if the City has looked at the traffic impact. The proposed driveway for the condo is right across from Woody Lane, which means it is at the top of a hill and on a curve. She stated they live just below that. They have had two cars go through their yard already, and she could not imagine increasing traffic on Dld Central. Mr. Boardman stated they are lo�king at trying to eliminate a lot of the through traffic on Old Central. Right now there are approx. 10-12,000 cars per day on Old Central. The remodeling of the intersection to the north would divert a lot of that traffic over to Highway 65. He stated that in looking at any kind o4 driveway entrance, it is best to have that entrance across fran a regular street intersection so there is a cross-type intersection. In this location, this was probably the best intersection for that entrance to be located. If the project is moved to the north, the best intersection may be further north. Ms. Reiland asked why they didn't redirect the traffic and make the inter- section modifications first and then decide what kind of project should go in. Mr. 8oardman stated then the question is: �ho pays? They can do the intersection modification, but if there is no money to pay for the inter- section, then it has to be assessed against the property owners. One of HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 17, 1983 PA6E 6 the purposes of setting up a tax increment district is because there are problems. With development in the area, they are going to try to take care of some of these problems, The tax increment district is set up as a possibility for sane public improvements due to development, With this type of development, they could start doing some of the things that need to be done, but they cannot do anything initially until they have some development. Mr. Bailer Tiller. 1535 Gardena Ave., stated there should be no development unless it has all been planned out ahead of time. The people who live in this area are the most important of al). They are the peop7e who have to put up with this development, and they should have the say as to whether it goes in or not. Mr. Charles Ross, 5895 Central Ave., stated as he listened to this project proposal, he heard about people befng moved out of their homes and the need to develop profitable revenue. When the City talks about diverting traffic, aren`t they going to have to have another hearing process like they are having now? Whose yard are they going to go through? First, they create the monster and then, because there is a traffic probiem because of it, they find they have to divert traffic. If the City is going to have to divert traffic when they have already acknowledged an existing traffic problem on Old Central, why not dfvert the traffic first and then build something that fits within the existing comnunity? Mr, Ross stated this is a very large project. He felt it was unfortunate that Mr. Ekberg did not have the courtesy to show up and speak for himself. Mr. Canmers stated they do recognize there is a traffic problem already in existence on Old Central. In order to do something about it, they need some monies to start making those modifications. Ms, Lois Adoiphson, 6131 Woody Lane, stated she works for Bermel Smaby Realtors. She is in the new home and condominium division of Bermel Smaby. She has done sane successful projects, so she has expertise in this area. She had the following questions: Has there been a feasibility study done on the marketability of this project? How many taxpayers in fridley now have an assessed home value of over $150,OOD? How many successful projects has Mr. Ekberg accanplished or completed? Does the contractor have either building financina or end financing established on this project? What happens if the HRA approves the project, the homes are taken, the traffic diverted, and then the project doesn't work? What wi71 go in on that property? Mr. Boardman stated no hanes will be taken or traffic diverted unti7 there are firm financial cortmitments on the development bf those units and firm end loan financing. That wouTd be mandatory, and the HRA would not take any action unless that happened. Mr. Ekbert has met with real estate people a�d he apparently feels there is a lot of interest in the sale of these units. HOUSIN6 8 REDEVELOPMENT AU7HORITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 17, 1983 PA6E 7 F Ms. Adolphson stated she did not feel there was a marke� for $150,000 units at this location in Fridley. She was against the project. It would ruin her view, and there was already a traffic problem. Mr. "Duke" Addicks, Jr., of Pepin. Dayton, Herman, Graham, & Getts, Attorneys at Law, stated he was hired by Mr. 8 Mrs. Dan Nelson to look into what is going on, He stated his firm represents both developers and residents on various proposals. He stated the people are objecting to giving Mr, Ekberg the right of development without additional informa- tion, The HRA is a public body and represents not only the present residents, but also the future residents of Fridley and the future develop- ment of Fridley. This is a touch decision to make. He would urge the HRA to think about some of the questions concerninq this proposed develop- ment. Mr. Addicks stated that, historically, HRA's were created to provide for low and moderate incane housing and to assist in the redevelopment of blighted areas. The power has been expanded over the last few years. He wondered if it was appropriate for the HRA to pranote expensive luxury condominiums. He wondered if it was even unlawful to do so. He stated there will certainly be tax increment resulting fran this development or whatever deve7opment eventually goes in this area, and some of it can be used to clean up the lake and improve traffic flow. But the principle purpose of the HRA is to assist in the development and not to worry about clean-up or traffic problems. Mr. Addicks stated there is probably a rezoning involved, modificatian of existing districts, and an environmental assessment process because of the proximiiy to the lake. In other words, there are quite a few hurdles the developer will have to handle even if the HRA gives him the right of development. For these reasons, Mr. Nelson is askinq for a delay in the decision to give a right of development an�i has asked that City Staff be instructed to find out more about what the developer really intends, his ability to follow through on a project, and how serious he really is with this proposal. Mr, Addicks stated he felt the HRA should not make a decision without more information. Mr, Ray McAfee, 1360 Hillcrest Dr., stated that since the Dec. 9th meeting, all the developer has done is move this monster further north. He felt that 95% and perhaps 100% of the people in the audience would like to see this thing go back to Golden Valley. He did not think a condominium like this fit into the City of Fridley, because of the height. The buildings would be higher than the Fridley water tower. Mr. Scott Kohanek, 6116 Central Ave., stated he has owned his property since 1976, He likes his home and would like to keep it. He was really upset about the City's communication system. It seems there were a couple of neighborhood meetings he was never notified of; conse- quently, the project was moved further north to inc7ude his hane and his property. He stated that did not make him very happy. He stated HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING fEBRUARY 17 1983 PAGE 6 Mr. Nelson's lawyer had mentioned there were a toi of hurdles ahead for the developer. Mr, Kohanek stated he was going to be the toughest and biggest hurdle of them all. Mr. Yoava Klucsar, 1337 Hillcrest Dr., stated this pr�perty would need rezoning. When people buy a house, it is the biggest investment they make in a lifetime. All these neighbors do not want this project, so why is the City wasting their time. Mr, Mel Nelson, 980 Hackmann Circle, stated Mr, Boardman had talked about homestead tax returns. If he had been listening to the leqislature that is now in session, he woutd know that the peopTe may not end up with any homestead credits. Mr. Boardman sh�uldn't use that point in bringing out any possibility of returns to the tax structure. Mr. Jeff Hagen, 5980 Gardena Lane, asked if there were any alternatives to this project, Mr. Boardman stated there are always alternatives. The Shorewood shop- ping center has been earmarked as a neighborhood center. Tn develop- ing an area that is going to support a neighborhood center, the City is trying to encourage a residential type of development in this area. An elderly develDpment, sponsored by St. Phillips Church, has been proposed for the corner of Rice Creek Road and Old Central, Ms. Elaine Gray, 6062 Central Ave., stated their private homes were included in the tax increment district so the HRA can come through and buy and build wherever they choose. She stated she would like to see their properties removed from the tax increment district as it would save the HRA alot of headaches. 7hey have invested a lot of money into their properties. They like the area and the beautiful view. She felt they have the right to enjoy it more than people in a condominium as they were there first. She found it hard to believe that Fridley couldn't survive without this area being developed any more than it is now. The City can develop in the north area where no one is living. Mr. Comners closed the public hearing at 9:11 p,m. Mr. Commers asked Staff's opinion about some of the questions raised concerning a feasibitity study, whether or not there needs to be an environmental assessment, and the marketability of these condo units in this area, Mr. Boardman stated a11 these areas need to be addressed. He wished Mr. Ekberg had been at the meeting to answer some of these questions. He stated they do not have the Shoreline Management Act in Fridley where these units wou7d be located. Where Mr. Ekberg is proposing the project is out of the f7o�d plain; therefore, the setbacks rea]]y don't cane into effect. The size of the project does not require a mandatory environmental assessment. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING FEBRUARY 17, 7983 ___ PAGE 9 # Mr. Cortmers asked about the question of soil correction end HRA - assistance. What has to be done to make that determination and can it - be done on a preliminary basis? Mr. Boar�nan stated before any soil correction can be done, Mr. Ekberg has to have access to the property. Mr. Prieditis stated it is obvious that a large portion of the neighbor- ing property owners are totally opposed to this project. He felt maybe they were just wasting their time in discussing the site problems and feasibility studies when there is such strong opposition to the develop- ment, no matter where it is located. Mr. Comners declared a 15-minute recess at 9:15 p.m. He reconvened the meeting at 9:30 p.m. Mr, Commers asked Mr. Boardman what the requirements would be to alter the tax increment district� to either subtract or add properties. Mr. Boardman stated the HRA would have to go through the same process they went through in establishing the district. The HRA wouid have to make a recamnendation to be approved by the City Council. He would have to check to see if it would require a pubtic hearing. MOTION BY MS. SVENASEN, SECONDED HY AII2. PRZEDSTSS� TO GRANT TO EKBERG & ASSOCIATES, ZNC., A ONE-YEAR RIGNT OF DEVEIAPMENT FOR THE MODRE LAKE CONDOMZNIUM PRQ7EC2. Mr. Prieditis stated he thought any project, whether the City or the HRA is involved, should theoretically do something good for either the City itself or the people. Seeing such unanimous opposition to this project, he did not see how this project in its present form could succeed, and he would like to see this particular request for right of development dropped. Ms. Sv�ndsen stated she agreed with Mr. Prieditis. Even though there were only three HRA mem6ers present, she felt it was important for them to vote as the homeowners have been waiting a long time for this decision. Mr. Comners stated he was impressed by sane of the arguments and questions raised by the people.at this meeting and previous meetings. If this project is turned dovm, there might be sanething else that would go in on that site that might make the people even more unhappy than this project. That property has been slow in developing because it is not prime property, Unless sane assistance is given to a future developer, it is probably not going to be developed and wi11 stay off the tax roles. To that extent, it hurts the whole City of Fridley and not just the people who live in the irtmediate area.

He stated the people also have a duty to stay informed and to be aware of what is taking place. B. St. Phillips Project (Memo N83-12 from Executive Director) Mr. Boardman stated St. Phillips is interested in again applying for 202 funds on the property at Rice Creek Road and Old Central, In order for St. Philiips to submit an application for 202 funding, they will have to prove to HUD that the land and soil is compactible and is developable. St. Phillips is concerned that the fill that has been brought in on the site could create difficulties in their application to HUD. They feel the fill was the initial reason they were turned down for 202 funding last year. The fill was placed on the property by the property owner, The property owner met all the permit requirements; therefore, the City had to issue the hauling pet^mit. Mr. Boardman stated that if HUD feels it is necessary, St. Phillips would like some assurance that the HRA would do some soil compaction tests. He thought the cost would be approx. $2,000. If the soil is not compactible or if the fi11 was put over bad soil, it could decrease the value of the property. He needed sane indication from the HRA prior to St. Phillips' application for 2D2 funds. He stated he has a meeting with St. Philiips Human Services, Inc., on Mar, 3. Mr. Cortmers stated that was difficuit when they really do not know what the cost wi]1 be. Mr. Boardman stated he woald do some further investigation on the costs of soil testing and would also discuss this with St. Phillips. He felt they should know what the soil is like as it could be helpful in acquiring the property if the project goes throuqh. MOTION BY MR. PRIEDITIS, SECONDED BY NR.

(Drive-in Site) Mr. Boardman stated he has been working with Vernon Beck & Assoc. and Northwestern Life Insurance Co. They have shown an interest in being the developer for the entire drive-in site. Mr. Boardman stated one of the first things he wanted to know was whether that site was a prime 9te for a hotel development. They are looking at a hotel development and also peripheral deve7opment in the way of an office development. HOUSING 6 REDEYELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, FEBRUARY 17, 1983 PAGE 11 Mr. Boardman stated that at his request, Vernon Beck b Asioc. did an in-house market feasibility study to see if the hotel dev2lopment - would support a higfi price development. They found tfiat in this - northeast area, it would support $55/night at this time. That does not preclude this area fran getting a high class facility. At this time, most of the hotel developers have their primary emphasis on the south and southwest, Once that emphasis is fulfilled, they wi11 look at the northeast area. Mr. Boardman stated Vernon Beck & Associates' reconrnendation to the HRA would be to try to develop a strong base (office, office-warehouse development) on the drive-in site and save a parcel on the corner for a hotel development. They feel it wi11 happen; it is just a matter of timing, Mr, Prieditis stated his main concern would be the traffic and the difficulties of getting in and out of this site. Mr. Comners asked if there was any way of doing a traffic feasibility study in this area. Mr. Boardman stated the HRA can order a study to be done and pay for it. It has been recommended t� the City Council that some of the 1983 CDBG monies be used to do a traffic study in the Moore Lake area. Tfie City Council will be considering that recortmendation at their Feb. 28 meeting. Mr. Comners declared the letter fran Eugene H.

It wi11 also include the area along 5th St. The breakdown on all that is going to be assessed differently. As far as any costs or breakdowns of architect's fees, it goes with the development of that portion of the project. Forty per cent of 8% of the overall budget is the archi- tect's fee. Of that, 90% is construction documents and 10% is biddinq negotiations. The arChitect is not involved at all in the inspection process.

Discuss Goa1s and Objectives of the Comnission Mr, Hill stated that at their last meeting, the City Council did affirm they would not be deleting the Comnunity Development Lomnission, and that the Conurwnity Development Cammission wi11 reaain as a viable commission. The Carmission now has to cane up with some ideas of things the Commission would feel comfortable working on for the next year and present these ideas to the City Council in late March/early April. Mr. Hill stated the City Council would like the Commission to review the "Animal Control Ordinance" and make recommendations through the Planning Commission to City touncil. From time to time� the City Louncil will be directing items such as this to the Community Development Commission. Mr. Hill stated that at the last meeting. the Commission went over their 1982 work plan� ahat was done and what things might still need to be done in 1983. They also "brainstormed" sane ideas for an 1983 work plan. Mr. Oquist stated he still felt defining the Commission's goals and objectives was a very difficult task. He thought the City Council should be able to tel] the Carmission the kinds of things the City Council feels need to be ]ooked at in the City of Fridley. What are the areas that COFMUNITY DEVELOPMENT LOMM155ION SPECIAL MEETING. MARCH lt 1983 PAGE 2 need to be concentrated on in the City of Fridleyl ,Are there some problem . areas where the Comnission could concentrate their efforts? He felt the goals and objectives are really going to need to De narrowed down. Or. Yos stated he was more interested in the area of economic development- smaTi businesses because of the strip development that is deteriorating in the City. Last month they talked about a closer relationship with the Chamber of Commerce. being a liaison between the small Dusinesses and the community. TAere was some disCUSSion about an econanic deveiopment corpor- atian concept, He was interested in that concept because he has seen it work Dr. Vos stated another thirtg discussed was having combined meetings with some of the other carmissions when there are issues that overlap, Mr, Hill stated he felt there were three areas of irrmediate concern in the City of Fridley that the Cortmission could possibly look at: 1, housing--cost and availability 2, economic development--Most small businesses in the City are in older facitities. What can the City do as far as maintaining those facilities or possibly relocating the businesses that are in tax increment districts? 3. transportation within the Lity (The Human Resources Comnission rrill be looking at the transportation issue.) Mr. Hill stated if the Cartnission is interested in fair housin9 practices, along the lines of the work the Commission did regardina "truth-in-housinq", the Commission might want to hoid seminars with la al realtcrs and pros- pective home buyers interested in coming into the City of Fridley. They might want to target the low and moderate incane group and provide informa- tion to those people. Dr. Vos stated he would �tike to try the "truth-in-housing" program again and try to find out what the condition of Lhe housing stock is in the City of Fridley. Mr. Oquist stated he would also be interested in pursuing it again. Mr. Hill stated that regarding the older housing stock in the City, there are certain areas in Fridley. such as Riverview Heights and other areas along the river. where people could use some assistance as far as low interest loans to maintain their hanes. However. the Other philosophy is that since the city is a public Corporation as such. how much should they be involved in private funding or private financiat inatters? Mr. Oquist stated that his thought a1so. He questioned how much govern- ment should get fnvolved in the private sector. COM�IUNITY DEYELOPMENT COMM155ION SPECIAL MEETIN6, MARLH 1. 1983 PA6E 3 Mr. Hill stated that i4 the Comnission members felt uncanfortable with - the financing end. from an educational point of view. they could have informational seminars or at least have information that could be distributed on low cost ways to maintain hanes as far as electrical, plumbing� exterior repairs. energy retrofitting, etc. Dr. Vos suggested the possiDility of conducting seminars through Comnunity Education. Mr. Oquist stated that at the last meeting, Mr, Hill had suggested the Cortmission could serve as a resource in helping the sma11 business people get additiona] monies for the purpose of bringing property and buildings up to code. He asked how a commission could do this. Mr. Hill stated it could be approached through the Small Business Admini- stration which has money available to support small businesses, either in opening or maintaining the business. The Cottmission could act as a resource to the smatl business person in providing information. The Sma11 Business Administration also gives a number of seminars each week on book- keeping practices, tnventory control, payroll. etc. The Comnission could develop an educational brochure that would have resource information to the people interested in opening a business in Fridley. Mr. Hill stated .if the Commission wanted to get involved in 2he funding aspect (although he was not sure that wou)d be a viable aspect), they could look at the administration of CDBG monies for small business loans. Dr. Vos stated another possibility rrould be starting a dialogue discussion . with the ChamEer of Comeerce to search out needs as we)1 as canmon concerns in the business community. Mr. Hill stated the City is in the process of developing a brochure that is specifically for developers caning into the community. Mr. Oquist stated the Comhission should definitely review that brochure when it is completed Dy Staff. Mr. Hill stated the Commission should probably inc)ude the "neighhorhood concept" in their rrork plan as the City Counci] is giving them that direction again. Staff has been nprking on the definition of neiqhbor- hoods. what kinds of signages should be used� etc. Mr. Gabel stated signage is going to be expensive. and he did not think too many people rrould be in favor of neighborhood signs. He stated fie would be interested in knowing the approximate costs for staff time, sign costs, and the installatio� and maintenance of signs. Mr. Oquist stated the Camiission should probabty took at the neighborhood concept again so they can get some input into the program. He stated one idea would be to identify a neighborhood. send out letters to the people in that neighborhood telling them the City is interested in a neighborhood concept, and invite them to a meeting to discuss it. It would be one way of getting input from the people if there is any interest out there. COMMUNITY DEYELOPMENT LOIR�IISSION SPECIAL MEETING, MARCH 1� 1983 PAGE 4 Dr. Vos stated he liked that idea� because it would give the Commission an opportunity to get input and talk directly to Lhe people. Mr. Oquist stated it would De interesting to know what other "community development commissions" do in other comnunities similar in size to fridley (first-ring communities). Mhat needs do these commissions address? He kept caning back to the question: Is there something that really needs attention that isn't being addressed at this time? Mr, Gabel stated he would be interested in attending a"comnunity develop- ment camiission" meeting in another carmunity. Mr, Hill stated he would get information from other suburbs regarding their cartnission process. Mr. Oquist stated there may be another name for this comnission that would make more sense and would narrow the scope. Maybe there should be a cortmission that just reviews ordinances on a monthly basis. Mr, Hil] stated the City has a]egat intern at this point in time whose job is to update all the ordinances in the City of Fridley fran an enforece- ment point of view. However� the problen with that is ihere is n� public input. A possibility would be for the staff to review the ordinances, do the writing, and then bring them throt�gh the camiission process for review and carments and recommendations to City Council. Mr. Hi11 stated one issue the City is becoming involved with the ciosed school buiidings. A cortmittee has been comnunity individuals in School Dist. /14, Bill Deblon liaison at this time. in is what set up of is the City to do 5taff Mr. Oquist stated just recently there v� s a proposal to put in two 12-story luxury condominiuns by Moore Lake. Because of all the citizen opposition� the proposal was turned down. He stated some time the Carmission should discuss what is really good for the City of Fridley. even if it means stepping on some toes. Al1 that is ever discussed is housing f�r the low and moderate income people, but maybe, from a carmunity development point of view, they need to look nt the other side--9etting some attractive housing into the carmunity as well. Even though the two 12-story luxury condominiums might not have been the right project for that area, he felt they had lost a valuable opportunity for that type of housing. b.

His goal under Hianan Services was "To promote greater mo6ility and independence for persons with disa6iitties in our camwnity" with the objective to create and promote a 1aa1 government. low interest loan program for civically-needed purposes. HUMAN RESOIJRCES C�IMISSION MEETINB, MARCH 3, 1983 PAGE 2 Mr. 600dspeed stated that at the last Commissio� meeting. Mr. Hill had stated one possible way of setting up a loan program would De to have a loan officer of a Dank be in charge of the administration of the program. Mr. Goodspeed stated he Aad discussed this rith Jahn 6argaro, Loan Officer and Asst, Yice President of fridtey State Bank, Mr. 6argaro had never heard of a bank cooperating with a city in any kind of lending program. Mr. 6argaro had suggested that if the City did sLart such a program� the bank coutd Aold the money. do the credit investigations. etc.� in return for the interest on the money. If it Mas low interest, 7-S�. Mr. Gargaro thought that would be fair; however. Mr. Gargaro did not think such a program would work. He be]ieved no business person woutd look at this type of loan situation and feel that by spending E3,000 to make the business excessible, the business would get an increase of E3.000 fran disabled customers. Mr. Gargaro fe]t it would be a bad econanic situation and he did not think any business person would borrow money at any interest rate to do that. Mr. Goodspeed stated Mr. Gargaro had also suggested that a more reasonable approach would be to give businesses money for retrofitting. possibly through matching funds. rather than Lhrough low interest ]oans. Mr. 7reuenfels stated that maybe the Comnission should look at what use would be made of such a tending program. They tould draft a questionnaire to be sent out to businesses to see if there was any interest. If the questionnaire would be too costly to mail. perhaps it would be more appro- priate for the Carmission members to make teiephone cal�s Lo scientifical)y selected businesses. Mr. Hill stated the City is always having to talk to people about land- scaping and general maintenance of their businesses. People are not too happy about that, and he could see how making a business accessible to the disabled would have very low priority. especielty if they have few disabled customers. • ' ' MOTION 8Y lIIt.

Ms. van Dan stated she would like to see a copy of the Lity's Comprehensive P]an as it might be very helpful in looking at housjng. 1fOTI0N BY lffi, TREUENFELS, SECONDED BY NS.

He had noticed that cities individually are very much concerned with their pwn needs, images, and advancements. He tho�ght there were sane areas thaL needed to be looked at on more of a county-wide basis. One thing the Commission could do is look for some comnon goa)s with ether camwnities' bwnan resources commissions, look for ways to exchange information. and begin to took at the problems that are county-wide; for instance, transportation and environmental problems. The City might benefit fran a sharing of information. Mr. Boergerhoff stated he would put this goal into a more formal written fortn to be presented to the Commission at their next meeting. Mr. Treuenfels stated he thought this was a good idea. It was certainly needed. if for no other reason than to expand their horizons. Ms. van Qan stated she thought it was very appropriate because there is nothing in the Human Resources Commission's directives from the City Council that says they tannot be aware pf what is going on in other comnunities. It would be nice to share information with other cormiunities. b. Comnunity Education Guidelines for Fundirg Proposals Mr. Treuenfels stated he had asked that the Carmission members receive copies of these guidelines. He thought the Cammission.might want to NUHAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING.

Mr. Hill stated that if the Commission is concerned about the need for human service type of funding. he would urge them to attend the City Council meeting on March 14 as that is when the City Louncil will be hearing the CDBG proposals again. Ms. van Dan agreed it is time to revise their funding guidelines again as they found they were discussing a lot of things that were very intangible. c. £qual Employment Opportunity Report for 1982 Mr, Hill stated this is an annual report filled out every Uct, for the Federal Government.

KONDRICK� SECONDED BY MS. GABEL� TO APPROVE THE FEB. 9� Z983� PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AS WRITTEN, Mr. Svanda referred to page 9, paragraph 6, in which Councilman Schneider had stated that, "he, too, was a little uncomfortable with combining the two commissions (Energy Commission and Enuironmental Quality Commission). The Energy Cori�nission is a very pro-active commission, whereas the Environmental Quality Commission seems to 6e a staff-dominated canmission. With all the environmental issues that are happening right now, he would expect to be getting calls from every one of the Environmental �uality Commission members to find out what is going on, and to be taking some actions, setting up meetinqs, etc." Mr. Svanda stated he would like to offer a rebuttal with respect to those state- ments. He stated he was not sure if Councilman Schneider had a full appreciation for who the members are on the Environmental Quality Corrmission. If he knew, he might not have made those comments. Mr. Svanda stated he is Assistant Director of the So7id and Nazardous Waste Division of the MPCA. Within that division, they have a site response group which is the group that takes care of the hazardous waste sites in the State of Minnesota. They also have a group of people within this division who are responsible for looking at the proposed sites of the Waste Management Board. He stated he did not feel he needed to ask a second or third party removed from the situation on what is going on when he can ask the party directly related to the situation. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 16, 1983 PAGE 2 Mr. Svanda stated that since he has been on the Environmental Quality Commission, he did not recall ever having received any direction from the City Council. The Commission has had some meetings with the Council and has been received, but there has been no guidance. Since he has been on the Commission, he believed that their feb. 1983 meeting was the first meeting at which a City Councilman was in attendance. That councilman was Ed Hamernik, and Mr. Svanda was very encouraged by his attendance. The key thing the Environmental Quality Commission is lacking is input from the City Council. They have gone to the City Council with their workplans, the workplans have been received, but he did not recall they were received to the extent of getting any guidance or direction on what the City Council expected of the Commission. The City Council has also never asked the Environmental Quality Corrmission for an opinion concerning any of these environmental issues. Mr. Svanda stated that with regard to Councilman Schneider's statement that the "Environmental Quality Commission seems to be a staff-dominated commission", Mr. Svanda stated it is not a staff-dominated commission. The solid waste issues the Commission is a r-3a essing right now were initiated by the Commission and not by Staff. Following the Comnission's discussions, the City offices are now recycling paper, there is an oil recycling facility at SORT, there was a Recycling Week, etc. He had to feel those were commission-initiated things and not staff-initiated things. Staff certainly assists the Commission, but not in any way as to define the Comnission as being a staff-dominated commission, Mr. Svanda stated he wanted to express his concerns regarding the comments raised by Councilman Schneider, UPON A VOICE vOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� VIGE-CNAIRPERSON OQUIST DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. �. NG: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL to a ow an o�� Vepot and Pullman railroad car Auditor's Subdivision No. 77, to be used for a same being 7355 East River Road N.E. (Subject L. S. #82-05, Kunz Oil Company).

SABA� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON SPECIAL USE PERMIT� SP �83-OI� BY RQGER H. MENGELKOCX, UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� VICE-CHAIRPERSON OQUSST DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:39 P.M. Mr. Deblon stated the location of the proposal is between Osborne Road and 73rd Ave., just to the east of East River Road. This proposal is part of a chain of events dating back to Aug./early Sept, 1982, with the Kunz Oil Company lot split. That is when the Planning Commission first heard the subdivision request. That subdivision called for two parcels, Parcel A and Parcel B, PLFlNNING COMMISSION MEETING, hU1RCH 16, 1983 PAGE 3 Parcel A has an existing bakery on it. Both parcels are about one acre in size and are zoned C-1S (loca] shopping). The subdivision went to the City Council with various stipulations, and the subdivider didn't agree with all the stipu- lations. Mr. Deblon stated there is now the potential of having the subdivision resolved. The major question of the subdivision was what was going to happen to Parcel B, and Kunz Oil did not have any proposal for that parcel. There is now this proposal by Roger Mengelkoch, which is quite a unique proposal. Mr. Deblon stated the proposal is in two phases. The first phase is to put in a Pullman railroad car, install it according to State Building Code, and design exterior improvements and parking. In the second phase, the applicant proposes to purchase an actual depot, Mr. Deblon stated the City would like to see landscapfng and is concerned about the opening to the property. The code calls for a 32 ft, wide opening, so they would like to see that entrance narrowed to 32 ft. The long range plan for this area is to extend the service road a little further and have more of an opening on to East River Road. For that reason, the City would waive some cur6in� because it would probably be removed at some future time. The proposal�calls for a fence with landscaping for district separation. Mr. Deblon stated one of the issues on the lot split was a 40-45 ft. easement for a service road. That was an issue because of the existing lease on the parcel where the bakery is located. The City would be willing to go with a ease- ment within a �ertain timeframe. Mr. Deblon stated the PUllman car will be accessible to the handicapped. It will be used as a hair salon. Th� future depot will be for small local shops and service-type businesses. Mr. Deblon stated there is a bil7board on the property. There is an agreement in past minutes that when this land is developed, the billboard is to be taken dovm. Mr. Deblon stated the applicant has been very cooperative, He is willing to give the easement and to work with the City on the fence for district separation and landscaping. Mr. Deblon stated one of Staff's concerns is they would like to see some time- frame for phase 2 which is the depot, Mr. Mengelkoch has said if he cannot purchase a depot, he wil] build a depot on that site. Mr. Deblon asked Mr. Mengelkoch to explain about the depot in a little more detail. Mr. Mengelkoch stated he has been looking at purchasing different depots from St. Paul to Duluth. Because of the closing of Rmtrak, the railroads are putting the little depots up for sale in sea7ed bids and people can purchase them. There are a couple more coming up for bid this spring. He stated they decided to put a depot on the property because there was so much property. He felt it was kind of a unique concept in putting together his business. He felt it would really attract people. He stated the businesses within the depot will be different specialtyshops because of the uniqueness of the deve7opment. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 16, 7983 PAGE 4 Mr. Deblon stated any businesses in the depot would have to be consistent with the C-1S zaning. Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Mengelkoch when he would make the decision on whether to buy or build a depot. Mr. Mengelkoch stated he should know by the end of the summer when he sees what it will cost to purchase and move a depot. Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Mengelkoch if he already had the Pullman car and how it would be installed. Mr. Mengelkoch stated he already has the Pullman car. It wil7 be sitting on its wheels on tracks and ties. The wheels are welded to the tracks so it is secure. He will put some kind of brick skirting around the car to insulate it. Mr. Oquist asked if there was anyone in the audience who would like to speak for or against the proposal. Mr. Bob Lange, 189 Logan Parkway N.E., asked if the fence on the south would be opaque. Mr. Deblon stated, yes, it would probably be a solid wood fence with landscaping, Mr. Lange stated that took care of one of his concerns. It would give the resi- dents some privacy, He stated he did not know when it might occur, but eventually East River Road might be widened. He asked if the City had looked at what the County's needs might be on the east side of East River Road. Mr, Oquist stated that when they discussed the lot split, it seemed to him that one of the reasons for gaining the 45 ft. easement was, not only for the service road, but also for the County to widen East River Road. Ms. Gabel stated that is one of the problems why the lot split has not been granted by the City Council. The City Council does not want to grant the lot split without getting the easement. Mr. Lange stated he viewed the type of business and the description of the applicant's plan quite favorably. He had an interest in railroads and thought this was a very unique proposal architecturally. As he was a resident of the downstream end of the watershed, he would like to recommend that there be an easement with an eventual retention pond in the northeast corner in the rear of the northern portion of land. He stated there is a very large amount of hardtop surface right now, some of which nothing can be done about, but the frontage roads could drain east from the highway instead of from the west across it. He is generally aware of the City's program requiring surface run-off in new developments. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIPlG, MARCH 16, 1983 PAGE 5 Mr. De61on stated the Planning Commission could make that a stipulation that there be a drainage plan; however, it is automatic and would come with the building permit. Mr. Deblon stated Staff was recommending the following stipulations: l. A timeframe for the depot to be placed on the property 2. A fence meeting zoning code requirements and landscaping 3. Approval of the lot split with a 45 ft. easement 4. Removal of billboard 5. Required drainage plan (probably required by building permit) 6, Reduce entrance radii to 32 ft. 7. To put the owner on notice that the Pullman railroad car wi17 be assessed as real estate. MOTION BY MR. SRB.a� SECONDED BY MS. GRBEL, TO CZASE THE PUBLSC HEARING ON SP #83-01 DY ROGER H. MENGELKOCH. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING RYE, VICE—CHAIRPERSON OQUIST DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:25 P.M�. Mr, Svanda stated that regarding a timeframe for the depot to be placed on the property, he would suggest 2-3 years, taking into account the economics and giving Mr. Mengelkoch time to get his business established. Mr. Mengelkoch stated he wanted to open his business around the end of June. Mr. Deblon stated Siaff would recommend not more than two years for the completion of phase 2. When the special Use permit was reviewed in two years, if there was an extreme hardship, the special use permit could probably be extended. MOTION BY MR, SABA, SECONDED BY MR.

Mr. Deblon stated it was his understanding that there was a motion on Item #,1 that needed action by the Planning Corrmission. The City Council had requested a recommendation on this from the Planning Commission, Ms. Gabel stated this was a surprise to her, She hadn't realized a recommenda- tion was needed by the Planning Commission. Ms. Gabel stated this was a variance request by Mr. & Mrs. Ing Siverts, 6850 Siverts Lane, to increase the maximum height of a fence from 7 to 10 feet in the rear yard and side yards. She stated there is absolutely nothing about the fence that is aesthetically pleasing. The Appeals Comnission felt there was no hardship, and that whatever 7ights or noise there realistically is, a 10 ft. fence will not take care of the prohlem. Ms. Gabel stated the petitioner had asked if he needed to be at the Planning Comnission meeting, and she had told him that the Planning Commission would only be receiv�.ng the Appeals Commission minutes. She was unaware that any action would be required by the Planning Commission, and this had cane as a total sur- prise to her. Mr. 600dspeed stated that since the petitioner had not been notified about any Planning Commission action, he felt they should table any action until the next meeting when the petitioner could be in atten�ance. Ms. Gabel stated she did not feel any new or different information would come to light if they were to continue this discussion at another meeting. The information is already here, and it is just a matter of concurring or not con- curring with the Appeals Commission. Mr. Goodspeed disagreed.

Mr. �eblon stated that regarding Item #2, the City Council had already approved a uariance request for the Fridley Medical Center, but the approval was based on approval by the Planning Commission. Ms. Gabel stated that at the City Council meeting, she had questioned why Planning Commission approval was needed when the Planning Corrmission just receives the Appeals Commission's minutes. Generally, the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on an item on7y when it something that stands out and Planning Commission input is requested by the Appeals Commission. She saw the variance request by the Fridley Medical Center as just a routine matter. Mr. Oquist stated this is one more example of how the subcommissions are not being utilized. All of a sudden the Planning Commission has to concur with the Appeals Commission's motions. The charter of the Appeals Commission is that its motions go directly to City Council. If the City Council didn't want to rule on this item, they should have tabled it and asked for the Planning Commission's recommendation. If action is always needed by the Planning Comnission, then there is no need for an Appeals Commission. MOTION BY MS. GRBEL� SECONDED BY MR.

Mr, Goodspeed stated Staff and the Human Resources Commission prepared and entered a National Office on Disability Awards Competition on behalf of the work accomplished by the IYDP project committee and the Accessibility Project Committee. He stated they had just recently been informed that they had won a$1,000 Community Program Award. Mr. Goodspeed stated there will be an awards ceremony on April 5 in Washington, D,C., and a representative from the City of Fridley has been asked to attend and receive the award. He stated he would like to know the Planning Commission's feelings on whether or not to request the City to appropriate funds to send someone to Washington D.C, to accept the award. He stated Bill Hunt, City Staff, will be vacationing in Washington D.C. at that time and wou7d be willing to pick up the award. The Planning Commission members agreed it was great that the Human Resources Corrunission had won this awards competition, but felt City money should not be used to send someone to Washington D.C, to pick up the award when there was someone from Fridley already out there who could do it. Ms. Gabel stated it would be nice to have a ceremony at City Hal] when the award arrives here, The appropriate people could be present, pictures could be taken, and it could be publicized through the media. Maybe Congressman Jerry Sikorski could be asked to pre.sent the award. MOTION 8Y MR. GOODSPEED� SECONDED BY MR. KONDRICK� TO HAVE SOMF.ONE REPRESENT- INC FRIDLEY RECEIVE THE AWARD 7N WA5HINGTON D,C.
