MOTION BY PII2. KONDRZCK� SECONDED BY MR. SABA� TO APPROVE THE JUNE 8, 1983,
PLANNING COMMISSZON MINUTES AS WRITTEN.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTZNG AYE� VICE-CHAZRPERSON OQUIST DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANZMOUSLY,
1. VACATION REQUEST: SAV #83-01, PETITION N0. 4-83: Vacate the Easterly
T3�b.T�feet� 4�tii v� e� etween B ocks � ana 13, Hamilton's Addition
to Mechanicsville, by the owners of 5380 and 5400 4th '�treet N.E.
Mr. Boardman stated this was the area where Dr. J. C. Schurstein had proposed to put
an office building back in Dec. 1980. There is a service road that comes in and
cul-de-sacs right along University Ave. There is an unpaved alley at this location
that is used to service the backs of the properties along 4th St. It also
services apartments and sane businesses.
Mr. Boardman stated the vacation request is for a portion of 54th Ave. between
Blocks 12 and 13. The vacation request is being made by the two property owners
on either side.
Mr. Boardman stated the alley is being used and at some point in time, the City
is going to have to pave that alley as long as it is being used, If the alley
is paved, they would have to make sure there was access on both ends, At this
point in time, the City has been opposed to a vacation of that portion of
54th Ave., primarily because there is no way out of the alley, and the logical
way for circulation within that area would be to come up to 54th Ave. An alter-
native would be to come down and connect into the cul-de-sec, but that may not be
an appropriate way to go,
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 8, 1983 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated that when Dr, Schurstein proposed the development of an
office building in this location, as a condition of the permit, the City Council
required that Dr. Schurstein pay for the improvement of the alley. Because of
that, Dr, Schurstein did not build, and the alley is still unimproved,
Mr. Boardman stated that in their consideFation of this vacation request, the
Planning Commission shauld consider what is going to be done with that alley
and at what point they want access. The Engineering Dept, has said the best
possible way for access is back up to 4th St. That would be in direct conflict
with this vacation request.
Ms. Laura Vagovich, 5400 4th St. N.E., stated she has lived in Fridley for 34 yrs.
Her house was moved twice, once for Highway 100 and again for I-694. She has
maintained this portion of the street for 34 years. She stated she would like
to have the protection of not having people going through there. People drive
through there and dump things in the bushes and trees, and she has even had
things stolen out of her garden. She stated she had assumed for years that this
road was already vacated and had maintained it because she thought it was vacated.
Mr. Lawrence Zimnerman, 5380 4th St. N.E., stated it was his intention to put up
a retaining wall and use the 30 ft, gained from the vacation to build a road to
a garage he would build on his property.
Mr, Boardman stated that even if they vacated the street right-of-way, they would
want to retain the southern half of the street for storm sewer.
Mr. Zimmerman stated the most logical way and the cheapest way for the alley
access was to go out on the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Oquist asked if it would be feasible to put a turn-around area by using the
portion of 54th Ave. that is not vacated plus the portion of the street they want
vacated.
Mr. Boardman stated that if they are going to retain 30 ft, for easement, why
not retain another 30 ft, so if the alley is ever improved, they can get access.
He stated if the property owners wanted to fence this portion of the street, they
could do so right now. The problem is that if at any point in time a road would
be required to go in there, that fence would be removed at no cost to the City,
Mr, Zirtmerman stated the main reason for the vacation request is so he can build
a garage with access off 4th St. He did not intend to use the alley, because it
is 2-3 feet below his property. He is going to have to put up a retaining wall
at the back of his property.
Mr. Boardman stated it was his understanding that if the property avner put a
fence or a driveway over the easement, if the City has to dig up that easement,
the City is not responsible for putting back blacktop or fencing. It would be
the property owner's responsibility to put back whatever was torn up.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 8, 1983 PAGE 3
Mr, Boardman agreed with the fact that there is never going to be a street
connection in there that would utilize the whole 60 ft. He had no problem with
vacating the street right-of-way, but they should retain the storm sewer and
access easement. In that sense, the property is no ]onger owned by the City of
Fridley but by the property owners; but the City would still retain an easement
so if they need to go through with a road or access for the alley, they can use
that easement.
Mr. Oquist stated another alternative would be to access by the highway property
if the Highway Dept. turns that property over to the City.
Ms. Vagovich stated that, as Mr, Zimrtterman had stated, the main purpose for the
vacation is so Mr. Zirtmerman can build a garage and access onto 4th St. They
will jointly maintain the property.
Mr. Boardman stated that if Mr. Zimnerman puts in his garage and accesses onto
4th 5t, over the 30 ft, easement, if the alley is improved and comes up to the
street grade, it in effect replaces his driveway and he would still have access
onto the alley.

Mr. Boardman stated the public hearing at City Council on this vacation request
would be on 3uly 11, 1983.
2. LOT SPLIT REQUEST, L.S. #83-02, BY RICHARD & SONIA PETERSON: Split off
Lot 12 and the Westerly 30 feet of Lot 13, Block 1, City View, to make a new
building site, the same being 241 - 57th Place N.E,
Mr. Boardman stated the petitioners own Lots 12, 13, 14, and 15. These are 40
ft. lots totalling 160 ft, of lot area. They are requesting to split off
Lot 12 and the westerly 30 ft. of Lot 13 so that Lots 12 and 13 will becane a
7� ft. lot, 7he depth of the 7ot is 140 ft. It does meet the 9,000 sq, ft.
lot requirement and meets all other requirements as far as lot splits. A lot
split does require a park fee of $500. The park fee is payable at the time of
approval of the lot split request; however, the City Council may defer collection
to the time the building permit is requested for individual lots created by such a
lot split. This would depend on whether the petitioner requested the City Council
to delay payment of the park fee.
The petitioners were in the audience.

It has been noted in letter form, that Apache Campinq Center is not
complying with the rules of our s�ecial use permit qranted July 25, 1977,
SPN77-04, in particular item E. a maximum of two units.dliplayed in
front of the showroom.
In 1977 when this permit was granted the items now on display were
not available. A new concept in trailers was developed called
Park Models. These Park Models ranqe in size from 33 feet to 38
feet in length and fran 12 to 14 feet in width.
In order to dttract buyers a num6er of different floor plans should
be displayed and because of size additional space was required. 5ince
1977 we have not discontinued any of our product lines but infact
added Park Models.
We are aware of the current conqestion of the Park Models. Sane
of the display models have been sold but are unable to be moved to
customer locations because of weather conditions. When the units can
be moved the remaining units and any mo� will be placed in a
unified manner. However, because of the letter from Mr. Hill, first
thinqs first. We are requesting an ammendment to the oriqinal special
use permit allowing Apache Camping Center to display more then two
units in front of the showroom.
Please advise if this can be accanplished without the personai
appearance of Apache Camoing Center.

ME MO R A N D UM
ACTIONI INFO•
The Apache Camping Center has requested amending their Special Use Permit, SP �77-04,
via the letter dated April 12, 1983 from James Pawelski. The amendment requested
is to allow more than two units in front of their showroom. Apache has been i� viola-
tion of this condition and others as far back as Aprit of 1979. Currently, they
are not complying with the following stipulations of their 1977 Special Use Permit:
1. The development of the property is generally consistent with the plot plan
(Exhibit A) submitted by Apache Camping Center, torrected to show two concrete
slabs adjacent to the showroom.
2. That landscaping be improved subject to the approval of City staff, with showroom
visibility acceptable to the tenants and adjacent neighbors.
3. That there be a maximum of two units (one on each concrete slab located adjacent
to the showroom) dispayed in front of the showroom.
4. Any unsightly storage be stored at the rear of the property (behind the building).
Apache also has two signs advertising propane attached to their fence along East River
Road. There are no permits on file for these si9ns and they should be placed with
the rest of the signs on the pylon.
Please advise me whether Apache should re-apply for a new Special Use Permit, or if
they can be heard by the Council.

RE: Special Use Permit, SP H77-04
Dear Mr. Pawelski:
I've been instructed to inform youthat the City will review your Special Use
Dermit, SP �77-04. However, since you are requesting substantial changes to
the stipulations that were approved in 1977, a new hearing by the Planning
Commission must be required. This wi11 involve renotification of adjacent
property owners within 200 feet of your business, and a notice �n the 5un
Newspapers. In addition you will have to pay the required application fee
of �200.00.
I've enclosed the Special Use Permit application. Please fill this out and
submit it, along with the $200.00 fee, to the Planning Department by May il,
1983. This will place your request on the June 8, 19B3 Planning Comnission
agenda. 7he recommendation of the Planning Cortcnission will then be forwarded
to the City Council for final action on June 20, 1983. If you do not wish to
proceed with the new permit, the stipulations of the existing permit must be
complied with by June 1. 1983.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, feel free to call me at
571-3450. .

nr• Boardman presented the site plan from Apache Camping Center
to the Planning Commission• He said that the landscaping plan
had•been draWn up by an architect. He pointed out that there
had been a meeting at the site involvinq Apache Camping Center
personnel and the neighbors• He said that nine items had been
drawn up at that time that were requested to be incorporated
into the Speciai Use Permit if it Was granted.
The Planning Commission studied the plan they had before them.
PLANNING COMMISSION nEETING — JULY 13, 1977 Paae 2 21
Chairperson Harris wanted to knov how many customer parking piaces
were being provided.
flr. Pawelski of Apacfie Camping Center explained that tfiere would
be enough parking space to accommodate 14 cars•
Chairperson Harris questioned the number of Lent trailers and
regular trailers shoW� on the plan.
fl r• Pawelski indicated that they were shoWing the maximum number
of units that vould be on the lot at one time.
' Chairperson Harris asked if Apache Camping Center had had a chance
to look over the nine stipulations.
nr. Pawelski indicated that they had revieWed the nine
stipulations a�d we�e in agreement- He said that ns. nartin
had requested most of the items to be included as stipulations
should a 3pecial Use Permit be granted.
nr. Pawelski felt that the number of kinds of shrubs being
required at the front of the building Would obstruct the viem
of the shoWroom from the street• He said that with some extra
care, the existing shrubs should be adequate•
Chairperson Harris questioned one of the stipulations dealing
with making sure the Special Use Permit would not be applicable
to any other business.
M�. Pawelski clarified that ns. nartin did�'t want the Special
Use Permit to be a1loWed for use by someone else� should the
Camping Center move.amay at a future date.
ns. nartin of 133 Stonybrook NE explained that she understood
that a Special Use Permit Was issued to the owner of the property
and since Apache Camping Center would only be leasing the building
she didn't Want to have to contend with an undesirable business
{used car lot, etc.} should the Camping �enter move at a
future date.
Chairperson Harris explained that unless another Camping Center
moved into that building, the Special Use Permit would not
pertain. He said that each different business Would need a
separate Special Use Permit• He indicated that the permit would
be issued for the outside storage of recreational vehicles.
Tr�

PLANNING COnMISSION nEETING — JULY 13, 1977 Paqe 3
ns. nartin said that she and the Apache Camping Center are in
agreement on the thoughts, but she wanted to be essured that
they are in agreement on the words• She did�'t want to have the
Lhoughts misinterpreted• One thing in particular she wanted
to have the wording exact regarding the displaying of vehicles
in front of the showroom. She wanted it to read, ^tWO cement
slabs adjacent to the showroom With one vehicle each on each
of the slabs. She felt that the way it had originally been worded,
it could have been interpreted as two vehicle on each of the
slabs, resuiting in a total of four vehicles displayed in front
of the shoWroom. She said that she and the Apache Camping
Center had agreed on a total of two vehicles displayed in front
of the showroom.
At the request of nr• Langenfeld, Chairperson Harris read the
nine stipulations to the audience. nr• Pawelski clarified some
the the items as Chairperson Harris read them•
nr• PaWelski indicated that he Would be meeting With the owner
of the property regarding the nine stipulations• He said that
they were in agreement to fix the building, but didn't feel they
should have to handle the total expense of upgrading someone
else's property•
ns. nartin explained that she had noticed two semi-truck trailers
Were being stored at the rear of the property- She said that
there Was no objections to the ones presently there• She asked
that since the Special Use Permit Would be issued to the property
omner, would he be able to use that permit to enable him to park
more of the semi-truck trailers on the property• She indicated
that if that could happen, then she felt that there would be
a lot of objections. She was sure that the neighborhood did
not want any se�i-truck traffic in the area. She also felt that
it Wou1d be aesthetically unpleasing to have semi-truck trailers
kept at the rear of that property•
ns. nartin continued to say that she understood that the trailers
did belong to the owner of the property and not Apache Camping
Center• She only wanted to know if the oWner Would have the
�ight of outside storage•
nr. Wormsbecker of 134Q1 Southridge Road indicated that basically
the rear of the building in ques.tion was only being used as
cold storage and that it shouldn't be considered as a warehouse•
nr. Boardman explained that if semi-trucks were going into the
area and delivering merchandise to be stored, then the building
�uould be co�sidered as a Warehouse and varehouses were not allowed
in the zoni�g presently on the property.
23
PLANNING COnMISSION MEETING — JULY 13, 1977 Page 4
fl s. nartin wa�ted assurance that the neighborhood would be
protected from that type of situation being allomed• She felt
that the Permit should be worded NOW to assure there would be
no misinterpretation of the intent of the Permit.
ns. Martin indicated that there vould be definite opposition to
a warehouse in the area.
Mr, langenfeld indicated that if the stipulations vere incorporated
into the Special.Use Permit, that, in itself, would put a great
��eal of control on the property• He explained that if in the
event the neighbors felt that a Warehouse operation was taking
place, all they Would have to do is cali City.Ha12 and someone
would be sent out to the property to check-out the complaint.
ns. nartin explained that that was Why she felt the stipulations
should be incorporated into the actual Permit — to be sure
the neighbors had a valid complaint should different occasions
arise•
ns. Gabel Wanted to know how long the trailers had been on the
property•
ns. nartin indicated that she hadn't realized the trailers had
even been on the property until the night she met With the
personnel from Apache Camping Center at the site•
Mr• PaWelski didn't know the answer either• He Was again in
agreement with ns. nartin• He said that Apache Camping Center
didn't want to have the trailers parked on the property either.
He felt that the more room the oWner utilized, the less room
they Would have for their Camper business.
nr• Peterson questioned the stipulation stating, "Drive way on
East River Road not to be used by customers^• He wanted to
know how Apache Camping Center Would be able to control What
driveWay a customer Would use.
nr• Wormsbecker explained that there Was a driveWay onto the
property direct2y from East River Road. He said that Apache
Camping Center Would keep the gate on that driveway locked so
as to discourage anyone from using the driveway. He indicated
that Apache Camping Center intended to use the driveways located
on 77th Street.
nr. Pawelski explained that there could be occasions When Apache
Camping Center Would want Lo use the gate/driveWay on East River
Road but that it Would only be an occasional circumstance and
Lhat customers would never be encouraged to use that particular
gate/driveWay.

He said that the two cement slabs in front of the shoWroom
had not been indicated•

block the showroom visibility- He said that the City was only

EIUMAN RESOURCES COMMSSSION MINUTfiS AS h�l2ZTTEN, �
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTZNG AYS� CXAIRPERSON GOODSPESD DECLARED TXE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. QLD BUSINESS:
a. Discussion of No-Fault Grievance Procedure Comnittee - Waiver Form
Mr. Treuenfels stated he had contacted several people, and three have
express2d an interest in the No-Fault Grievance Committee. Two people
would like some rtare information on the No-Fault Grievance Procedure.
Mr. Treuenfels stated one of the persons he contacted about an interest
in the committee had asked him whether somethina would be set up on the
county ievel, rather than on the city level. He stated he would contact
Mary Cayan to ask what is going on at the county level, what the
Commissian can do to improve communication between the City and the
County, and if there is sanething the County can do better than the City.
He also wondered if the County gets any ca1Ts on grievances; and if they
do, where does the County refer those calls?
Mr. Hunt stated that regarding the No-Fault Grievance Procedure
waiver form, he had given it to the Legal Intern, ,]im Phil7ips, to
review. Mr. Phillips had seen no problem with tf�e document other than
that a date should probably 6e added so it is really ciear when the
person signs the waiver form. He stated he had not given it to the City
Attorney to review, but would do so if it was the desire of the Canmission.
HUMAN RESOURCES COhMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1983 PAGE 2
Mr. Treuenfels stated he felt it wou7d be beneficial to have the City
Attorney review the waiver form also.
b. Discussion of Vo7unteer Recognition
Ms, van Dan stated that the Cominission has discussed in previous minutes
that because the County is beginning to get involved in developing a
county-wide volunteer program, the Comnission should probably not get
involved in vo7unteerism to the extent of developing a vo7unteer program,
but rather to get involved in a volunteer recognition program.
At the request of the Comnission, Mr. Hunt had mailed to the Commission
members more information on the City of Edina's volunteer recognition
program. The City of Edina has an annual all-volunteers award recognition
program open to everyone. Invitations are sent out, and there is a$5
charge to everyone attending.
Mr. Treuenfels stated that apparently the selection of volunteers for
awards is made by an independent citizens' comnittee, and city officials
and personnel do not really have any part in it.
Ms. van Dan stated that if the Cortmission was interested in this concept
they would have until next A�ril to plan a volunteer recognition program
for the City of Fridley. They could do a lot of advertising and publicity
through the comrt�nity newsletter, corrtnunity billboard, Community Section
of the Minneapolis Star & Tribune, local churches, local service organi-
zations and clubs.
Mr. Minton stated he felt this type of program had a lot of potential,
and he felt it was something the Comnission could easily handle. One of
the things the Cortmission would have to do is define what parameters to
set in terms of volunteers--mostly volunteers who work in government for
the Citp, school district, or county, or would it be for all volunteers?
He stated some organizations do have good recagnition programs for their
volunteers; for example, Unity Hospital probably does. He felt such a
program would really serve to promote volunteerism in the canmunity.
Ms, van Dan stated she would contact Ke� Roslyn, City Manager of the
City of Edina, and find out what their parameters were in recognizing
volunteers. She would also find out what kinds of awards were given.
Mr. Goodspeed stated he agreed with Mr. Minton and would hope they would
include volunteers other than those in city government.
Ms. Kocher stated recognition is the key to get volunteers� and she was
in favor of this type of program.
Ms. van Dan stated she would try to have a plan for a volunteer recog-
nition program prepared by the August meeting.
HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 2 1983 PAGE 3
Mr. Minton stated there is a distinction between volunteerism and
voluntarism. Voluntarism includes the concept of beinq on comnissions
such as iFie Human Resources Comnission and being on boards of agencies
as well as direct service. He stated he would like to include both
concepts in their recognition program.
Mr. Hunt stated the Canmission members had received a copy of a letter
from Carolyn iverson, Yolunteer Coordinator, County of Anoka Comnunity
Health & Social Services Dept., in which Ms. Iverson listed some of the
volunteer opportunities ihat are going on at the County. She had also
identified a few of their Fridiey volunteers. He stated this was for
the Commission's inforfiation.
Mr. Hunt stated there is an informa] group of people that meets monthly.
He stated he has been invited to join. They are trying to identify the
kinds of groups that are doing services that could use the help of
volunteers; for example, The Alexandra House.
c. Other Old Business:
(1) Letter from the League of Minnesota Human Rights Comnissions
Mr. Treuenfels stated that at the last meeting, he had agreed to draft
a letter to Governor Perpich expressing the Commission's concern about
the State Department of Human Rights, its caseload, and the importance
of full funding to protect the rights of every Flinnesotan. He handed
out copies of his drafted letter.
MOTION BY MR. MINTON� SECONDED BY MS. KOCHER� THAT THIS LETTER BE SENT
TO GOVERNOR PERPICH FROM THE XUMAN RESWRCES COMMISSZONSRS WITK A COPY
TO BE SENT TO TXE LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA FIUMAN RIGHTS COMMZSSIONS.
UPON A VOZCE VpTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GODDSPEED DECLARED THE
MOTSON CARRZED UNRNIMOUSLY.
(2) Low Interest Loan Program for Barrier Removal
Mr. Goodspeed stated he had contacted Doris Curtis with the Commercial
Rehab Loan Program at the City of St. Paul. Ms. Curtis explained to him
that the City of St, Paul doesn't have a program aimed specifically at
rehab for handicapped accessibi]ity, but they have certain zones and
strips of land in St. Paul that are run down, and the loans are targeted
at these areas. Apparently, the way the program works is that an appli-
cant goes to a bank to borrow money. Because the bank finds the applicant
to be a good risk, it will give out a loan at a certain interest rate
with a matching amount at a 2� interest rate from the City of St. Paul.
Mr. Treuenfels stated it sounded like an interesting concept.
HUtMN RESOURCES COhMISSION MEETING JUNE 2 1983 PAGE 4
The Comnission members asked Staff to obtain some information on the
status of the HUD CD66 monies and to find out whether any of this
money has been dedicated for the use of possible low interest loans
for handicapped accessibi]ity.
2. NEW BUSINESS:
Mr. Treuenfels stated he wanted to remind the Comnission members that the
12th annual meeting of the League of Minnesota Human Rights Cortmissions
will be held June 17-18. He stated he was planning to attend.
MOTION BY PII2. KOCHER� SECONDED BY MS, VAN DAN� TO REIMBURSE MR. TREUENFELS

Mr. Boardman stated that after the last meeting, Mr. Newman had prepared a
resolution in an attempt to work with the petitioners. If was Staff's recanmenda-
tion that the HRA enter into this resolution if they so chose, Primarily, the
resolution stated that the HRA will give the petitioners written notice of any
aciions which deal with their properties so the petitioners can attend any
meetings.
Mr, Boardman stated that at this meeting, Mr, Addicks has presented a substitution
for the last page of the proposed resolution.
Mr. Commers stated that as he understood it, the proposed resolution as prepared
by Mr. Newman, was not acceptable to the petitioners.
Mr. Addicks stated that was correct. He stated he was representing the petitioners
in this matter. He stated this is the third time they have appeared before the
HRA and the second time on this issue. At the last meeting, along with the
petitions, they showed slides of the four residences that present7y exist in an
attempt to demonstrate to the HRA that the initial inclus9on of these properties
in the redevelopment area was improper,
Mr. Addicks stated he believed the inclusion of these properties to be improper
because {1) the houses are not blighted; and (2) the argument was made by City
Staff that because the lots are large and inappropriately laid out and couid
accomnodate more than one residence, that in itself constituted blight under the
law. He stated he disagreed with the conclusion legally. Perhaps if these
houses were scattered amongst blighted houses, the City might have an argument;
but because these are four nice houses isolated on the fringe of the redevelopment
area adjacent to each other, he did not believe that legally there was any blight.
In any event, there was no evidence presented at the public hearing about a year
ago on the condition of the houses, and he felt that was a question the HRA would
have to correct before they could proceed with the redevelopment of this property.
Mr. Addicks stated the HRA seems to have plans for most of the areas within the
other redevelopment areas. There seems to be no formal plan for redevelopment
of this area. A condominium proposal has come and gone--a proposa] in which the
City proposed to spend public money to subsidize luxury condominiums. The
neighborhood obviously opposed that, and he felt that, no matter how good a plan
there is, any type of development like that would alMays be opposed by the
neighborhaod.
Mr. Addicks stated the argument was made earlier informally that the HRA
should probably hold off on a decision at this meeting on whether or not to exclude
this property pending some plans that are going to be developed to give the people
more of a clue as to what is going to happen in this redevelopment area. He was
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETIN6 JUNE 9 1983 PAGE 3
convinced it was an econanic prob7em. They can plan for condos and have a nice
plan saying there is going to be a luxury condominium there, but he did not know
how that would ever happen.
Mr. Addicks stated he did not see the sense or the need to include the petitioners'
properties under such nebulous circumstances when there is really no definite
proposal or even a tentative proposa7 or even any ideas on what is to be done
with the property. The petitioners want to be excluded from the redeve7opment
area. The resolution drafted by the City Attorney indicates that the HRA can
always move to amend the redevelopment plan to include these properties whenever
there are definite plans on wfiat is to be done with the property: "WNEREAS, if
the 'petitioners' petition was granted, the 'H.R.A.' would still be empowered by
Minnesota Statute to later amend the Moore Lake Redevelopment Plan to include
the 'petitioners' real property...."
Mr. Addicks stated he felt the HRA could plan what to do with the property with-
out havin9 these properties included and then later when there is a more definite
plan for development that the neighborhood can understand, again go through the
process to include the petitioners' property. He thought the decision at this
meeting to exclude the properties would not be a precedent for including it
sane years from now when there is a definite proposal or plan.
Mr, Addicks stated that concerning being kept informed about the proposal, no
matter what action the HRA takes at this meeting, he will be writing a letter to
the HRA Chairperson requesting to be kept informed by first-class mail of any
agenda items concerning development, and he would expect that request to be honored.
There is a case law saying a request like that should not be ignored. Out of fair-
ness, he felt the HRA should keep the petitioners informed as to what is going to
happen to their homes.
Mr. Addicks stated they did not bring in a lot of people in an attempt to keep
the meeting as simple as possible. He stated he believed sane of his clients
may want to make statements, and he thought it was appropriate for them to do so.
He stated if the HRA had any questions of him or his clients, they would be happy
to answer those questions.
Mr. Addicks stated that one other argument presented at the last meeting was the
possibility of setting a precedent by letting these four homes out of the redevelop-
ment district. He stated there are no other petitions before the HRA for
exclusion and this has certainly bee� publicized in the newspapers so if people
were interested in getting out, they would be here. Since no one has petitioned
to be excluded, he did not foresee an ava7anche of homeowners coming in. He
stated that for his clients, everything is nebulous and up in the air; they are
not sleeping nights, and the uncertainty of this whole thing is making them
physically sick,
Mr. Boardman stated it has always been his recommendation and the recanmendation
of the legal counsel that these properties not be taken out of the redevelopment
area. They were added in under a great deal of public hearing process which went
through the Planning Commission, City Council, and HRA. The Planning Commission
said it met the Overall Comprehensive Plan for the City of Fridley.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING JUNE 9 1983 PAGE 4
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Addicks had stated that these hanes were on the fringe
of the redevelopment district. He disagreed, He felt these homes are right in
the middle of the overall district. One of the HRA's responsibilities in the
establishment of the district was to do an overall district--not just for tfiose
parcels that are excluded from the district by petition of the residents.
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Addicks had said this would not set a precedent.
Mr. Boardman stated he wanted to point out that this district has been in effect for
over a year, and these petitioners did not cane before the HRA with a petition
until a development was pro�osed in that redevelopment district. He felt that
whenever bhere is a proposal �Or development, there is the possibiiity of pecQte
�etitioning to be out of the district. As long as the NRA is involved in redevel-
opment, he felt they Nere going to have this situation repeated over and over
again.
Mr. Boardman stated he understood that this was not an easy decision for the
HRA to make. If the HRA was uncomfortable with making a decision at this meeting,
he would recommend a moratorium be placed on the property for further study.
He stated it is easy to say that these properties can be put back into the district
at a later time, but that may nct be the case. Ten years from now, there may be
a problem with these hanes (the homes may have different owners. may become
diiapidated, or there could be a tornado go through there). He stated the state
law may change. and they may never be able to put the property back in if they
would want to put it back in.
Ms. Lorraine Netson. 6D80 Central Ave „ stated she was tired of hearinq the
words. "might", "maybe", "I don't know". The Cit:� does not have plans or any
alternate plans for this area, She stated public notices sound good, but she did
not know anyone who could interpret what they meant. Nhenever she tries to get any
� information, she alwdys gets the run-around. Now do they find out what is going to
happen to their homes7 �
Mr. Addicks stat�d he worked for the League of Cities for ten years, primarily
in the area of land use and land use legislation. It seemed to him that the
pians are supposed to be flexible and not be cast in iron. The plan is an on-
goir,g process over a period of years. He knew the district was supposed to
last another 20+ years, but during that time, the HRA is going to expand in some
areas and contract in some areas. If the redevelopment project boundary remains
the sar,�e for that length of time, he would be very surprised. He did not believe
that taking a parcel out or adding a parcel later was going to make any difference.
They are talking about a plan, not a tax increment district which is r'iuch harder
to amend. Amending the redevelopment plan is a fairly simple procedure, and he
HOUSING & REDEYELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING JUNE 9 1983 PAGE 5
could not see why the HRA was so afraid of providing more flexib'rlity in the
plan. Also, he did not see the legislature changing this part �f the law
which has been around for years and years.
Ms. Gloria Wieman�, 6044 Central Ave., stated her husband has been in the
hospital since a few days before she received the letter of this process, so
she has been handling all this by herself, She stated she doesn't feel that
her home and yard are blighted. She stated she understood that both Mr. Boardman
and the HRA have a job to do. In the meetings she has attended, she has always
appreciated the concern the members of the HRA and Staff have shown, and she
wanted to thank them for that.
Mr. Dan Nelson, 6080 Central Ave., stated he has a contractor interested in
buying the front acre of his property for the purpose of building two nice homes.
This contractor has been waiting for a decision as to whether they can continue
negotiations or not. By postponing this decision, it is working an additional
hardship for him. He stated he pays taxes on this land, and he cannot even se11
it, so this is sanething else the HRA should take into consideration in making
their decision.
Mr. Commers stated as he understood it, the petitioners would like a decision
from the HRA on whether they are in or out of the district. Staff has recommended
there be a moratorium for a period of six months for the purpose of doing sane
further study, He was not sure if further study would make the decision any easier.
Mr. Prairie stated he had a real probiem with keeping the petitioners' property
in the district. He could also understand that if they delay this decision, it
is a burden on the petitioners.
Mr. Prieditis stated he thought a moratorium of six months would only be delaying
the decision and it would not be helping anybody. He did not see them having a
plan for development even within a year. He still felt that any development can
work around something; it is not an absolute. If,by having the petitioners'
properties in the district, it is creating so many problems for these families,
he did not think they would be gaining that much by keepin9 the properties in the
district.
Mr. Rasmussen stated he sympathized with the homeowners. There is nothing worse
than having built a home and then not know what is going to happen to it. He
stated he would like to see them have some kind bf study done. Even when the
district was created, he did not kaow how much study was actually put into it.
Ms. Svendsen stated that Mr. Addicks had a point when he said they do not have
a firm plan for this area. As a homeowner, she could understand how the home-
owners felt. She stated that when they first talked about the redevelopment
area, she thought there were a couple of problems that were involved with the
Moore Lake area, and she did not think those problems have been solved. One was
the lake itself, and the other was the traffic pattern on Old Central, particularly
the intersection at Highway 65 and Old Central. It was her understanding that
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING JUNE 9 1983 PAGE 6
those problems were part of the reason why they put this area in -the redevelop-
ment plan, but not in the tax increment plan, because they really didn't have
any plans for developing it but wanted it in the redevelopment plan to try to
remedy these two problems that still exist.
Ms. Svendsen stated she would like to see more information on a timetable of
when they are going to do something with Moore Lake, the street and the inter-
section.
Mr. Boardman stated those things won't happen until development happens--until
they know what they can get into that property.
Mr. Addicks stated a study sounds good in principle, but really until they have
gotten development to the north, he was not sure if the HRA was going to know
how they could best utilize this property or if they even want to utilize it.
He did not see a study making the HRA's decision any easier or even changing the
facts. By excluding the petitioners' properties, the City would have more time
to do a better study.
MOTION BY MR. RASMUSSEN. SECONDED BY MS
TO BE CONDUCTED.
Mr. Prieditis stated he still did not think they could accomplish much in six
months or even a year. He looked at the northern end of the district as the
main area they would like to see developed, and he saw the southern end, except
for the intersection and the possibility of redevelopment of Old Central, as
being of lesser importance.
Mr. Prairie stated he had problems with all three of the choices: (1) leaving
the petitioners' properties in the district; (2) taking the properties out of
the district; or (3) delaying for six months to make a study. He did not know
if he could vote for any one of those choices.
Mr. Addicks stated the HRA will be putting these people through hell if they
make the decision to have a study done. Ne expected a study would just say that
the properties should be kept in the plan because of the uncertainties in the
future. This area should be of only minor concern to the HRA. They have the
whole area to the south and the area to the north to worry about developing,
It seemed the HRA should let the petitioners out of the district and then maybe
consider putting them back in if that is an appropriate decision based on what-
ever development occurs.
Ms. Lorraine Nelson stated she wanted to thank the HRA members that came to look
at their home. She stated this whole situation has been very psychologically
damaging to her. She used to be in good health, but since this has all happened,
her health has gone down hill. She stated this lobbying is too much, and she
will not wait six monihs.

$200�000 TO COMPLETE THE FRIDLEY PLAZA PROGRAM. _
UPON A VOICE VOTE� RLL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECI,ARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Inman stated Item No. 2 was a copy of the expenses due the City of Fridley
from the HRA for services rendered from Jan. 1, 1983, to April 30, 1983, in the
amount of $5,442.71.
Mr. Inman stated Item No. 3 was the Rent Report from Jan. 1 to May 31, 1983, as
requested by the HRA.
Mr. Inman stated they anticipate having the detailed expenditures for January
to June 30, 1983, at the HRA's July meeting, including the audited financial
report and an updated cash flow based on any payments made in the interim.
Mr. Comners stated the NRA was also supposed to get some kind of breakdown from
Mr. Inman with respect to projected administration and personnel costs for the
HRA.
Mr. Inman stated he had prepared an Hours Audit showing the actua7 hours charged
including time spent at the commission meetings. It was his understanding the
HRA wanted an hours audit of what had been spent in terms of staff hours.
Mr. Commers stated he would like to see a budget so they can see what is being
projected, how the City arrived at the numbers put into the budget for the
coming year. That is the $98-100,000 allocated for administrative expenses.
He would like to see how it is broken down, both historically for last year and
what is being projected for tfiis year. He asked if Mr. Inman made a budget
projection for the HRA.
Mr. Inman stated they do not make a budget projection per se for the HRA because
the law does not require it. He stated they have attempted to project based on
the HRA's activity last year and the anticipated additional development north
of City Hall and across the street which hasn't taken place yet.
Mr. Commers stated he thought the HRA would like to see the data used in arriving
at that number and those projections, so the HRA can get a feeling on how much
it is costing the HRA in terms of administration dollars and whether or not there
are some other types of arrangements that would be feasible in terms of staffing.
Mr, Inman stated he would be happy to prepare that information for the HRA's
next meeting,

HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING JUNE 9 1983 PAGE 8
Mr. Commers stated it was his understanding that after the move, the alignment
rack, the modeco air compressor, and the 300,000 BTU heating system will belong
to the NRA and will remain in the 5tandard 5tation if Mr. Ryan moves.
Mr. Haggerty stated that was correct.
Mr. Prairie stated the HRA has been reluctant in Phase 3 to give anyone a lease
over 12 years. This would be a commitment for 2 years. Was there any problem
with that?
Mr, Boardman stated that based on the inactivity in this area, he felt comfort-
able that nothing was goinq to happen for two years and possib7� three years.
Mr, Prieditis stated the HRA is paying Mr. Ryan for personal property that after
two years will probably be worthless. He felt they were giving Mr. Ryan a break
that they have not given anyone else, and he hoped this would not set a precedent.
Mr. Commers stated what he did not like about this is that Mr. Ryan will not be
paying any taxes on the facility for the two years.
Mr, Newman stated he had seen this letter for the first time this evening. He
would assume the motion was to approve the proposal in concept, thereby instruct-
ing Staff to execute the necessary documents. The question asked by Mr. Commers
about who will retain ownership of tfie personal property and some other questions
should be spelled out a little more clearly.
Mr, Commers stated he was assuming that by approving the concept, they were not
violating any ordinance.
Mr. Haggerty stated that if the HRA approves the concepts in the letter, then
the StafF and City Attorney can draft the appropriate documents and proceed as
quickly as possible. He was not asking them to violate any ordinance.
AND
MOTION
Mr, Commers asked Staff to get the documents together and brinq them to the
next meeting for signing.
4. FINANCIAL REPORT:
Mr, Inman stated Item No. 1 was a progress billing for the Fridley Plaza. The
HRA in their cash flow projection anticipated paying $200,000 in May of 1983,
As of May 31, 1983, the progress billing shows $72,720 expended. He had met
with Mark Burch, Assistant Public Works Director, and Mr, Burch has suggested
they make the transfer of $200,000 as soon as possible because with the additional
projections of the billings before the HRA's next meeting, they could be very
close to that figure. Therefore, he was requesting the HRA to authorize the
transfer of the $200,000 to ensure proper cash flow and that no interest expense
accrue.

Ms. Gabel noted there were several vaziances and they should stazt wi[h the first
two free standing signs. Mr. Clark presented aerial photos of the area which showed
the general location of tFie si9ns they ase xequesting and said the directional sign
is on Fireside Drive, a haI£ �lock off Highkay $65. Mr. Peugh (Signcraftezs) said
one free standin9 sign is for the �rporation I.D. ior Chevrolet and the other is
foz Trucks, 15' X IS' and 12' 2t iY'. Se said he talke8 to GM about the signs and
they do make a 42' sign. Ks. Gabel said she could understand about the GM mrporate
I.D. sign and asked abovt the Truck sign. Mr. Peugh said @1 wants a Truck sign.
He said their present sign is about 35 feet and they asked for a 47 foot sign but
ihey can get a 42 foot sign. Ms. Gabel stated that (�1 is awaze that cities have
sign cades and asked if they are aware how much they are out of code. Mr. Peugh
said they are aware. Mr. Plemel asked if the squaze footage would change if the
sign vere lower. Mr. Peugh said it would remain the same. He said the sign would
be interior lit stainless steel and the rnncrete would be covered vith metal.
Ms. Gabel asked why they want to go from 25' to 47' and 25' to 36'. Mr. Peugh
said that is what C3�f stated and the dealer does not have much to say about it.
Ms. Gabel said she was sure they would cut it down if they have to and that when
she worked on the sign co�ittee they found out that corporations Would cut down
siqns because of all the different city codes.

2. DISCUSSION OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE INTERACTIONS:
Mr. Oquist stated he felt the discussion at the last meeting with Bill Kirberger,
President-Elect of the Chamber of Commerce, and Kerry Vah Fleet, Executive
Director of the Chamber of Commerce,went very well. Both seemed very responsive
and anxious to estab�ish a better liaison between the City and the Chamber of
Corrmerce.
Mr. Oquist stated he thought one of the first things the Comnission should do
is designate someone fran the Comnission to be a]iaison to the Chamber, This
person should be willing to work with Ms. Van Fleet and attend the monthly
Cham6er luncheon meetings, if possible. He stated he felt it was important to
keep the momentum going.
Mr. Oquist stated possibly one of the first things the Comnission could do jointly
with the Chamber of Commerce would be the preparation of a brochure which wou7d
iay out city zoning requirements, licensing requirements, sign requirements, etc.
At a later time, maybe they could jointly sponsor a seminar and discuss the town
meeting concept.
Mr. Oquist stated that if the City Counci] feels they wou]d �ike to discuss any
of this further with the Conmission, the Cortmission members would be willing to
discuss it with them at a conference meeting,
Ms. Fassett stated she would be willing to be the Commission liaison to the
Chamber of Commerce and attend the monthly meetings.

3. OTHER BUSINESS:
Mr. Oquist stated the Commission should probably start some discussions again
about "truth-in-housing".and should try to find a speaker who is opposed to
truth-in-housing. At the April 12, 1983, meeting, Mr. Boardman had stated he felt
a lot of realtors object to the program because they feel it is a waste of the
homeowner's time and really doesn't mean anything. Mr. Oquist stated they should

try to get a speaker for the July meeting. He stated he would talk to a realtor
friend and see if he could get a name of saneone who wauld be willing to speak
to the Comnission.
Mr. Oquist asked Staff to provide the Cottmission members with a copy of the
May 11, 1982, Commission minutes in which Bob Lines of the Minneapolis Inspec-
tion Department spoke to the Coiranission in favor of the program. They should
also have copies of any brochures on the program and the inspection checklist.

Mr. Boardman stated the Commission members had received in the agenda all
the background information on this special use permit request. He stated
Apache Camping Center is located on the corner of East River Road and
77th Ave. N.E,
Mr. Boardman stated Apache Camping Center is requesting an addition to the
special use permit to allow for the display of six units. In the agenda,
there is a considerable amount of correspondence between Apache Camping Center
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22 1983 PAGE 2
and Kent Hill, Economic Development Assistant, dating back to 198i. In a
letter to Mr. James Pawelski dated June 78, 1981, which listed the stiputations
on Special Use Permit, SP #77-04, Mr. Soardman referred to the following
stipulations:
a. That the development of the property be generally consistent
with the plat plan submitted by Apache Camping Center, corrected
to show two concrete slabs adjacent to the showroom.
b. That the landscaping be improved subject to the approval of City
staff, with showroom visibility acceptable to the tenants and
adjacent neighbors.
(Mr. Boardman stated that a very extensive site plan was done at
that time. It was approved by the Planning Commission and City
Council with concurrence of the neighbors. That p]an �as not been
completed to the stipulation of the special use permit.)
e. That there be the maximum of two units (one on each concrete slab
located adjacent to the showroom) displayed in front of the
sfiowroom.
(Mr. Boardman stated this is where Apache Camping Center is request-
ing a change in the special use permit.)
g. Any unsightly storage be stored at the rear of the property (behind
the building).
Mr. Boardman stated that one of the stipulations in the old special use permit
was that there be a maximum of two units located in front of the showroom
on the slabs. As the Commission members remembered, this site used to 6e a
pool center, and the pool center had slab areas.
Mr. Boardman stated that on March 30, 1983, Mr. Hill sent a letter to
Mr. Pawelski about the non-compiiance of city code. A reply was received
from Mr. Pawelski on April 12, 1983, in which Mr. Pawelski referred to
Item (e) of the specia7 use permit stipulations and talked about requesting
an amendment to the original special use permit to display more than two
units in front of the showroom. There was no mention in the letter about the
landscaping or the other items discussed in Mr. Hiil's letter.
Mr. Boardman stated he was somewhat concerned about the lack of compliance
to the special use permit and felt that, if anything was granted to Apa�he
Camping Center, there needs to be assurances that these issues are going to
handled.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr. Pawelski if he would like to make any statements to
the Comnission.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 22, 1983 PAGE__3
Mr. James Pawelski stated he is part owner of Apache Camping Center. He
stated he had to admit that they have not done the landscaping as required
by the special use permit, Regarding Item (e) that there be a maximum of
two units displayed in front of tfie showroom, the units that are now on
display were not in existence at the time they requested the special use
permit in 1977. The Park Model is sanething new in tfie industry and has been
out for only 3-4 years. It is a unit that is not to be pulled. It is
primarily set on a lot, either an owned or rented 7ot, and it is a cabin-
type unit. 7he reason for requesting the amendment to the special use permit
is because these Park Models were not in existence in 1977 and because they
do not have enough room for the units in the other part of the lot. He stated
the display models are left up, and the buyer chooses the interior decorating,
and the manufacturer builds to the buyer's specifications. Then in the fall,
the units that are on display are sold at a reduced price. They pick up their
new units in November, and in January when the camping show starts, they display
the new units up front.
Ms. Gabe7 stated that
use permit which were
things were not done.
in 1977, certain stipulations were put on the special
expected to be done. She did not understand why these
Mr. Pawelski agreed they should have gone to the Planning Comnission and City
Council earlier to ask for an amendment to the special use permit because of
the new units, but they just did not do it. The other main item was the
]andscaping, and it was true they were in non-compliance with that stipulation.
They started putting units out in front,and he honestly did not feel he should
landscape and then cover the iandscaping with units, If they have to put in
the landscaping with the permission to put in more units, he supposed they
would have to landscape around the units. But, he stated,the units vary in
size every year. .
Mr. Boardman stated the majority of landscaping was not in. Most of the
landscaping that needs to be done is the street riaht-of-way along 77th.
The whole purpose of the landscaping was for screening of the back area where
the units are stored. There is no berming and no screening on the fence. The
whole thing in Item (a) was "that the development of the property be generally
mnsistent with the plat plan....corrected to show two concrete sTabs adjacent
to the showroom". As he remembered it, the plan was for the filling of the
old pool arza, leaving two slab areas for display areas. The tandscaping
itself does not necessarily mean in front of the units but close to the showroom
itself. This has not been complied with.
Mr. Pawelski stated Staff is talking about landscaping on 77th Way. They
have had people who have driven by and seen the units through the fence and
have come back and made a purchase. As far as unsightiy units in the back,
there are two trucks that do not belong to Apache Camping Cen#er, The trucks
belong to the landlord.
PLANNING COMMISSTON �EETING; JUNE 22 1983 PAGE 4
Ms. Schnabel stated it appears there really are three display areas that
have been created by these slabs. She did remember back in 1977 about the
filling in of the pool area, but, in all fairness, the drawing shows that
as an available site.
Mr. Boardman stated it was very clear in the discussions in 1977 that the
pool area would be removed and that there would be only two concrete slabs
for display. Even though there is an area where the pool used to be, it
does not mean that is a disp7ay area.
Ms. Schnabel asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to
address this subject.
Ms. Mary Martin, 133 Stoneybrook Way N.E., stated she did not feel Apache
Campin9 Center has complied with anything other than the fact that they do
not sell snowmobiles, do not have loud music, and do not have lights on late.
Over the years, Apache Camping Center has had canoes in front, small trailers
in front, portable signs in front, and propane gas signs on the cyclone
fence. Every time there is a camping show or any show that pertains to their
business, they have a great big sign that goes up and stays up for several
weeks.
Ms. Martin stated one of the reasons the neighbors stopped fighting and
agreed to have the business in this location was because of the stipulations
that were put on the special use permit--that there would be only two display
areas in front and that the place would be kept neat. She stated the area
has not been kept neat. Right now on the south side, she believed there were
three large units in front, three large units nosing into the front where
there used to be Russian Olives. On the north side, there is a unit nosing
into the front that has a sign that says "wide load", She did not see why
the property has to be made worse than it already is. She felt Apache
Camping Center shou7d be made to comply with the stipulations they now have.
Apache Camping Center has not comp7ied over the years,and she doubted if they
complied after the first six months. She did noi want to see the whoie front
area covered with trailers.
Ms. Martin stated she strongly recommended that the Planning Commission deny
this special use permit, and that Apache Camping Center be forced to compiy
with the special use permit now in effect or that that special use permit
also be revoked. She stated it was her understanding that the special use
permit issued in 1977 was supposed to come up for review by the City in three
years. To her know7edge, there has never been a review, and it is now six
years later. She stated Apache Camping Center is"tacky". She is living
across the street from something that is tacky, and the neighbors were pro-
mised that this would not happen and that Apache Camping Center would comply
and live with the rules put upon them,
Mr. Pawelski stated he agreed with Ms, Martin, but they are also in business.
The signs that are put up for the shows are for advertising. This is part of
doing business. He admitted they were wrong by not coming to the City when
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22, 1983 PAGE 5
they put up the Park Models without approval from the City for additional
display space. He stated they are struggling to make a living and the bills
have to be paid. Since 1977, a lot of things have changed.
Ms. Martin stated that what has not changed is the fact that peop7e are
stitl living there. It is still her home and her neighborhood.
Mr. Kondrick stated he felt that Apache Camping Center has just simply out-
grown its space.
Mr. Pawelski stated, yes, they have outgrown their space, but they cannot
just pick up and move. Moving is very hard for br�iness. If this specia7
use permit is not granted, he will obviously havE to move units off and start
looking for another location. When they original}y requested a special use
permit in 1977, they were primarily a tent.camper dealer selling 90 tent
campers a year. They now sell approx. 20 tent campers a year because people
are not buying the tent campers. They are now selling the Park Models
which are $16-25,000 each.
Ms. Martin stated she wanted to remind the Planning Commission that six
years ago whan the special use permit was granted, the Planning Commission
was ready to refuse it. The reason the Planning Commission did decide to
approve it was because the neighbors said that because of the promises made
by Apache Camping Center, they would be good neighbors and let Apache Camping
Center come in. The City Council also was ready to refuse the special use
permit even after the Planning Commission's recommendation, but because the
neighbors said they would a11ow it to come in because of the promises made,
the City Council also approved the specia7 use permit. If it had not been
for the neighbors,the special use permit would have been denied. She did
not think the neighborhood now should be put down because Mr. Pawe7ski's
business is too big for this location. She realized Mr. Pawelski had to make
money. She was not against business, but she was certainly for her own
neighborhood and her own living space.
Mr. Svanda stated that if all the stipulations from 1977 were complied with
by Apache Camping Center, how would Ms. Martin feel about the parking of
six trailers?
Ms. Martin stated she would be against it, because the site looks like a
trailer park now. The business is just plain tacky and the neighbors were
promised it wouldn't be. Six trailers in the front is only going to make it
look tackier.
Mr. Svanda stated the worst thing in this whole issue seemed to the fact
that Mr, Pawe7ski showed bad faith by not putting in the landscaping.
Mr. Saba stated maybe there is some kind of compromise that can be reached
regarding the landscaping, Maybe the landscaping should be done, and then
Mr. Pawelski should reapply for this special use permit after the land-
scaping is done.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22, 1983 PAGE 6
Ms. Gabel stated she did not see that as a satisfactory solution. She
stated she was on the Planning Commission in 1977, and she had a lot of
reservations about the special use pemit at that time. The only reason
she voted for the special use permit at that time was because of the stipu-
lations and the agreement by Apache Camping Center that the stipulations
would be met. Six years have gone by and those stipulations have not been
met. She had no reason at this point to believe that to approve another
special use permit with more stipulations with some landscaping was going
to change anything, If anything, it might make the situation worse. She
appreciated the fact that Mr. Pawelski's business has outgrown the location;
but she did not feel that was the neighbors' fault, and they should not be
expected to bear the brunt of it.
Mr. Saba agreed, but stated if there was any way Mr. Pawelski could satisfy
the neighbors, which seems to be the biggest problem, and sti71 stay in
business in this location, he would be all for it, However, he would like
to see some changes made before the approval of this special use permit.
Maybe Mr. Pawe7ski should meet with the neighbors and work this out to their
satisfaction.
Mr. Svanda stated he liked Mr. Saba's idea about making Mr, Pawelski put
in the landscaping before the Planning Commission considers this special
use permit any further.
Ms. 5chnabel stated she could appreciate the suggestion of the Apache
Camping Center's owners meeting with the neighbors, but they met with the
neighbors a lot in 1977 and still nothing was done. To say Mr. Pawelski has
to meet with the neighbors now would probably only be delaying something
further. It is really the City's role and responsibility to see that a land-
scaping plan is executed. It is not the ro]e of the neighbors.
Mr. Boardman asked Mr. Pawelski if he would be willing to work with the City
on a landscaping pTan. The City would require 100� letter of credit
against the entire landscaping.
Mr. Pawelski stated he really had no choice but to do that. He asked if he
could have at least 3C days to reshuffle his units and take five units off
the slabs.
Ms. Schnabel stated they would give Mr. Pawelski a reasonable length of
time for removai of tfie units.
Ms. Martin stated that if the idea was that by having the landscaping done,
Apache Camping Center could have more trailers in front, she was tota7ly
against it and would fight it. She did not want more trailers in front, That
was the biggest thing the neighbors didn't want,
Mr. Saba stated what he was thinking about was a landscaping plan that would
prohibit the display of any more than a fixed number of trailers.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN6 JUNE 22 1983 PAGE 7
Mr. Kondrick stated he drives by this property every day and knows the
property pretty well. If Apache Camping Center was to adhere to the
original landscaping plan, even "fudging" a bit, there was no way they
could operate and do business the way they do now.
Mr. Svanda stated that is why he would like to see the landscaping plan
developed before they even consider this special use permit any further to
see if it can even work,
Mr. Pawelski stated he wanted to comply in any way possible to maintain his
business.
MOTION BY MR. SABA� SECONDED BY MR. GOODSPEED� TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING
ON SP #83-03 BY APACHE CAMPING CENTER,
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HERRING CLOSED AT 8:41 P,M.
Ms. Gabel stated that having been at the previous Planning Commission meeting
in 1977 when this all happened, she was really concerned because this special
use permit with stipulations was issued. The big concern was the two big
slabs out front, and the neighbors agreed to go aTong with the special use
permit based on those two big slabs. They were very concerned about there
being a larye number of trailers parked out front. She understood that
Mr. Pawelski has outgrown his location, but when the decision was based on
that predication, she had a real difficulty even considering increasing the
display units. She felt the City has some responsibility to live up to the
special use permit that was granted in 1977.
Mr. Saba stated he knows what has happened between 1977 and now with the
economy and the gas crisis. It has to be a tough business to be in. He stated
he would like to see an agreement on a landscaping plan made with the City,
have that plan presented to the neighbors and discussed with them. Before
the granting of any special use permii, he would like to see the stipu7ations
satisfied and the landscaping completed.
Mr. Kondrick stated that neither Mr. pawelski or his partner have complied
at all with the special use permit issued in 1977. More than that, the
promises made to the neighbors were broken. He understood Mr. Pawelski's
position, but he was in business today because of the neighbors. He stated
he lives in that area, and this area has always looked tacky, He stated he
wanted to see these stipulations complied with, and he would be against the
approval of this special use permit.
Mr. Goodspeed stated he would agree there was no bargaining over the land-
scaping. That should be done without question. No good faith has been shown
by Apache Camping Center, and he wou7d like to see some good faith shown
before they even consider this special use permit.

Mr. Boardman stated that by denying the special use permit, there is a
three-letter process that will take place in enforcing compliance. If
he doesn't comply, the City can tag him, The other alternative is that the
City Counci1 has the ability to remove the special use permit which would
eliminate the business in that location because the special use permit is
for outside display of units.
Mr. Saba stated this woutd not prohibit Mr. Pawelski fram complying with
the stipulations made in 1977 and then reapplying for this special use permit.

2. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #83-04; BY
DONALD WENLAST D. W. CONSTRUCTION, INC,: Per Section �1-5�(4), to
allow the construction of a new dwel ing in CRP-2 zoning on Lots 27, 28,
29 and 30, Block S, Riverview Heights, the same being 8125 Riverview
Terrace N.E.
MOTION BY M5. GABEL� SECONDED BY MR, SABA� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON
SP N83-04 BY DONALD WEHLAST� D. W. CONSTRUCTION.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING RYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLIIRED THE PUBLIC
HEAR7NG OPEN AT 8:57 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated this property is on Riverview Terrace in the flood plain
and requires a special use permit. It also requires fill to be placed on
the site. In 1979 there was an application for a special use permit
and a variance. This property has two 50' lots and the request at that time
was for zero lot line, two units, one on each lot with a lot size variance,
The variance was denied so the special use permit was withdrawn.
Mr. Boardman stated this request is by D, W. Construction, Inc., for one
house on both lots so there would be 100 ft. of lot with one house. It does
meet the requirements as far as setbacks as far as the flood p7ain in the
sense that the garage and living space meet flood plain regulations. The
one concern ie the drainage. The people proposing the development and the
City Engineers feel the drainage is workable if done correclty; however,
Staff still has some concern. If this specia7 use permit is approved, the
stipulation he would recommend was that an engineered drainage plan be submitted
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22 1983 PAGE 9
with a letter of guarantee that the drainage will 6e sufficient and, if
not, wil7 be corrected. One of the proposals they are looking at for
drainage is to drain 9nto the slue where water drains right now. Staff's
recommendation on that would be that they would either want an easement
for drainage or some kind of drainage directTy from the lot to the river.
Mr. Boardman stated that other than the drainage, it is a good plan. There
wiil be a requirement of a small retaining wa17 because of the 15 ft, fill
requirement, and that has to be worked out with the inspectors.
Ms. Schnabel asked if Mr. Don Wehlast of D. W. Construction had any
comments regarding drainage.
Mr, Wehlast stated he has had engineers and excavators out there, and they
have said the natural drain is to the north. Ne has been told he would have
to have a culvert under the driveway to get the water to drain to the north.
Ms. Schnabel asked if there were any questions from peopie in the audience.
Mr. Chester Schack, 687 G7encoe, stated he was very concerned about where
the water is going to go.
Mr, F. C, Smith stated he owns the house just north of this lot, 8141
Riverview Terrace. He stated this is a lovely house and will be an asset
to the neighborhood. He was concerned about the water draining through
his front yard. If they could put a culvert under the street and drain the
water to the river, that would be great.
Mr. Boardman stated this is why a drainage plan has to be worked out and

Mr, James Pawelski stated he is part owner of Apache Camping Center. He
stated he had to admit that they have not done the landscaping as required
by the special use permit. Regarding Item (e) that there be a maximum of
two units displayed in front of tfie showroom, the units that are now on
disp7ay were not in existence at the time they requested the special use
permit in 1977. The Park Model is something new in the industry and has been
out for only 3-4 years. It is a unit that is not to be pulled. It is
primarily set on a lot, either an owned or rented ]ot, and it is a cabin-
type unit. The reason for requesting the amendment to the specia] use permit
is because these Park Models were not in existence in 1977 and because they
do not have enough room for the units in the other part of the lot. He stated
the display models are left up, and the buyer chooses the interior decorating,
and the manufacturer builds to the buyer's specifications, Then in the fall,
the units that are on display are sold at a reduced price. 7hey pick up their
new units in November, and in January when the camping show starts, they display
the new units up front.
Ms. Gabel stated that in 1977, certain stipulations were put on the special
use permit which were expected to be done, She did not understand why these
things were not dane.
Mr. Pawelski agreed they should have gone to the Planning Comnission and City
Council earlier to ask for an amendment to the special use permit because of
the new u�its, but they just did not do it. Tfie other main item was the
landscaping, and it was true they were in non-compliance with that stipulation.
They started putting units out in front,and he honestly did not feel he should
landscape and then cover the landscaping with units. If they have to put in
the landscaping with the permission ta put in more units, he supposed they
would have to landscape around the units. But, he stated,the units vary in
size every year. .
Mr. Boardman stated the majority of landscaping was not in. Most of the
landscaping that needs to be done is the street right-of-way along 77th.
The whole purpose of the landscaping was for screening of the back area where
the units are stored. There is no berming and no screening on the fence. The
whole thiny in Item (a) was "that the dev€lopment of the property be generally
consistent with the plat plan....corrected to show two concrete slabs adjacent
to the showroom". As he remembered it, the plan was for the filling of the
old pool area, leaving two slab areas for display areas. The landscaping
itself does not necessarily mean in front of the units but close to the showroom
itself. This has not been complied with.
Mr. Pawelski stated Staff is talking about landscaping on 77th Way. They
have had people who have driven by and seen the units through the fence and
have come back and made a purchase. As far as unsightly units in the back,
there are two trucks that do not belong to Apache Camping Center, The trucks
belong to the landlord.
