1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST - L.S. M83-05: By Michael 0'Bannon, for Star Homes, Ltd.,
o sp i o s , 29 and 30, Block 11, Hamilton's Addition to Fridley Park,
• into four building Sites So the four unit building can be under separate
ownerships.(see complete 1e9a1 in agenda), the same beinq generally located
at 5455 to 5461 - 4th Street N.E.
XOTION BY MR. XONDRICX, SECONDED BY MR. 5A8A, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARII'G
ON L.S. N83-OS BY NICXAEL D'BANNOIl,
UPON A VOICE VDTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCN1�nBEL DECLT+P.ED THE PUB:,IC
BEARSNG OPEN AT 7:3B.P.N.
Mr. Deblon stated this property was located on 4th Street right next to the
freeway. This development had been before the Appeals Comnission to obtain four
variances, The four variances were approved by the City Louncil on May 16, 1983.
Mr. Deblon stated the struclur� is a 4-unii building w9th each unit having a
garage entirely on each individual lot. He stated the structure was to be a
condominium, but there were circumstances having to do with the financing, timing,
and a delay in setting up a condominium that caused the applicant to apply for
a 2ero lot line request.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 14 1983 PAfE 2
Mr. Deblon stated that in the City's subdivision regulations, there is a
zero lot line provision that was adopted in �uly 1982. This is the first
request for such a dwelling ov?r two units. The City has an�roved zero lot
line requests for double bungalows, but this is the first re�uest for a zero
lot line for a four-unit buildin7. However, ttie subdivision regulations
provide for this type of action.
Mr. Deblon stated he believed the applicant has discussed further agreements
with the four owners about the general use of the green space. He did not
think the City's declaration of covenant directly addressed that comnon green
area, but the applicant is considering some type of clause to address that.
Ms. Schnabel asked if there was anythin9 in the zero lot line ordinance about
minimum square footage of each lot.
Mr, Deblon stated the subdivision regulations say the lots shal] be ':divided
as is reasonably possible with the restrictions in the existing guidc'ines
of the zoning chapter."
Mr. Deblon stated there is also some turnback property, and the applicant is
willing to accept that turnback property as the process continues.
Mr. Kondrick stated that apparently the owner is to execute and record
a declaration of covenant with additional restrictions as provided by the
City. Had the owner considered a guideline to prevent fences? With 22 ft.
widths on the two inside lots, that is pretty narrow.
Mr, Ken Thornton and Mr. Steve Butgusaim were representing Mr. 0'Bannon,
Mr. Thornton stated that from his experience, it was not a concern; but if
it is a concern of the City, they can prepare a paragraph that there are to
be no fences built without the agreement of all four owners. The only thing
he would be concerned about is the party wall agreement which is the same as
the FHA. What they would like to do is draw up a paragraph and ask the FHA
if it would be appropriate. They had no problem with no fences in the back-
yard as long as the FHA would accept it under the party wall agreement.
Ms. Schnabel stated that Mr. Deblon had said the applicant wanted to change
this development from condominium to zero lot line four-plex. What was the
reason for the change?
� Mr. Thornton stated he originally wanted to do a townhouse development, but
the City's ordinances require five acres, so they couldn't go with the town-
house development. Mr. Deblon had suggested condominiums. He stated they
had no objection to that. However, to go condominium, the process to get
financing was quite lengthy (at least six months) and quite expensive.
Since the building has already been built, they have to do something sooner
than that.
Mr, Kondrick asked what the selling price of each unit would be.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN6, SEPTEMBER 14 1983 PAGE 3
Mr. Thornton stated the selling price of each unit is $62,900.
Mr. Thornton stated the reason the building was was sittingYthe way it was
was because of the shape of the land and the number of variances required.
If the turnback property had been available, they could have set the
building more to tfie west.
The Planning Conenission members were concerned about the exterior maintenance
of the four lots and felt they would like to see some type of association
that would take care of the exterior maintenance of the huilding, the lawn,
and cover some of the other concerns such as no fences in the rear yard.
Mr. Steve Butgusaim stated the party wail agreement does call for maintenance
to be done without detracting from the property, and he felt that covered
the concerns the Planning Corrmission members had.
Ms. Schnabel stated she did not think it took care of what happens with the
open green space, for instance.
Mr. Thornton stated that right now each owner is resronsible for his/her own
lot area. He stated the owners will do that. The same societal pressures
operate here as they do for the single family detached homes. In watching
other zero 7ot line developments (in New Brighton and Coon Rapids, for
example), the properties are taken care of.
Mr. Kondrick stated he had no objection to the lot split except for the out-
side maintenance. He was afraid they might find one owner mows the lawn
shorter than the next owner, one owner mows the lawn infrequently, and maybe
one owner has lots of weeds in his/her lawn. He stated he would like to
see sane kind of common maintenance program.
Mr. Butgusaim stated the part of this that bothered him was the word "associa-
tion". They could have an association, and it would not be a problem to do
so, but it makes for an app]es versus oranges situation. He has never heard
of a zero lot line townhouse with an association, and he did not think it
would make sense to the government either. It would just confuse the situation.
When the lenders get the packages and look at them for new mortgages, they do
not know how to define this type of situation. A zero 7ot line townhouse
with an association does not conform with most things that are on the market.
Mr. Thornton stated the party wall agreement was the most acceptable agree-
ment in the country for multiple unit type of dwellings. FHA uses it all
over the country.
Mr. Thornton stated he did not think there was any problem with changing sane
of the wording in the party wall agreement that no one can build fences, but
when they form an association and start to do things collectively, then they
are changing from one organization pattern to another and that is where they
would run into trouble with�the lending institutions. But, this would have
to be checked out with the FHA.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1983 PAGE 4
Mr. 600dspeed stated that the owners of Lots B& C would haue to walk through
Lots A& D to get to their own backyards with their lawnmowers.
Ms. Schna6el stated Mr. Goodspeed had a very good point about Lots B& C
needing access to the backyard through the yards of Lots A& D. It was
also a good argument against putting in any kind of fencing.
Mr. Deblon stated he did not think the subdivision regulations actually
addressed the 4-plex; it is geared more toward the double bungalow where
both owners have side yards.
Mr, Butgusaim stated that if they could change the term and call it coopera-
tive yard maintenance, that would not constitute an association.
Mr. Thornton stated maybe they could have an attorney write a definition for
cooperative yard maintenance that the lenders would not interpret as a
secret way of getting an association.
Mr. Thornton stated he thought the point brought up by Mr. Goodspeed about
rear yard access was an excellent point. This kind of thing has gone through
FHA's all around the country, and it has been applied to these four-unit
developments, and this point has never been brought up before.

protection to prevent the access easement from becoming a nuisance.
Ms. Schnabel stated that was reasonable and the Planning Commission had no
problem with that.

2. REVIEW OF AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER 1
_ MOTZON BY MS. GABEL, SECONDED BY MR. SVANDA, TO CONTINUE THE REYSEW OF
THIS ORDZNANCE AT THE NEXT MEETING,

3. RECEIVE AUGUST 16 1983 ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTZON BY MR. SVANDA� SECONDED BY MR. SABA� TO RECEIVE THE AUG. I6� I983�
ENVIRONMENTAL QURLITY COMMISSION MINUTES.
Mr. Svanda sta�ed that Darlynn Ronn and Lee Ann Sporre were at this Corrmission
meeting to talk about the City's use of fly-ash for winter road maintenance.
The reason they came to the August Commission meeting was because of the
timinr„ and they thought it was a point in time when the City and County
would be executing contracts with local power utilities to get the fly-ash
stock for the coming season, Ms. Ronn and Ms. Sporre wanted the Commission
to pass a motion on to the City Council saying that the Commission was look-
ing at this issue so that the City Council would then defer any possible
action on executing any contracts, although neither of them knew for sure if
new contracts were going to be let.
Mr. Svanda reviewed sa+te of the discussion at the meeting. He stated Ms. Ronn
and the Environmental Quality Commission had some differences of opinion
concerning the environmental effects of the use of fly-ash on the river and
creeks. Ms. Ronn also stressed the aesthetic environmental issue,
Mr. Svanda stated the Comnission was unanimous in its opinion that winter-
time is a filthy time of year and without periodic snowfalls, the who7e
metropolitan area looks blighted. All of the members of the Correnission
that were present at this meeting also shared the opinion that they were not
that upset with the use of fly-ash and felt the use of fly-ash was safer,
He stated this will be discussed again at the September meeting.
It was the concensus of the Planning Comnission members that they were
essentially in agreement with the Environmental Quality Commission in that
the fly-ash did not seem to be a problem and it seemed to work well in Fridley.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

ROLL CALL:
Members Present: Brian Goodspeed, Bob Minton, Peter Treuenfels, Mary van Dan,
Barbara Kocher
Members Absent: None
Others Present: Bill Hunt, Personnel Officer, Administrative Assistant
APPROVAL OF AUGUST 4, 1983, HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION BY MR. TRETIENFELS� SECONDED BY MRS. KOCHER� TO RPPROVE TXE RUG. 4� 1983�
H UMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES RS WRITTEN.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, RLL VOTING AYE� CXAIRPERSON GOODSPEED DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
OLU BUSINESS:
1. Consideration of promotion of volunteerism among Fridley citizens
Mrs.van Dan stated that because of work commitments, she has not been able
to devote any time to this project. Because she has not been a very effec-
tive member, si�e has seriously considered resigning from the Commission.
Mr. Treuenfels stated that in light of the excellent work Mrs. van Dan has
been doing, he would look with grave concern on any plans for her resignation.
Because of a new work hour schedule, he also has felt he has not been a very
effective member and that every canmission member has these kinds of things
happen at different times.
Mrs. van Dan stated she did re-review the volunteerism program set up by the
City of Edina, and she did make a cal7 to the person in charge of that
program. She felt very strongly that this was a program the Comnission
should be going forward with and asked if any other Commission member wou1d
be willing to take on the project.
Mr. Minton stated he also felt it was important that someone take over the
leadership of this project, and he volunteered to do it.
HUMAN RESOURCES COFiMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 1 1983 PAGE 2
Mr. Goodspeed stated he vrould also be happy to he7p Mr. Minib�,
Mr. Hunt stated he would also be happy to help Mr. Minton and Mr, Goodspeed
with any coordinating or whatever was needed.
Mr. Treuenfels stated he felt this was an appropriate time to recognize
two people who have done a great deal of work for the City of Fridley and
for the people of Fridley. He felt their work should be recognized as both
were very deserving. These two people are Mary Cayan, who was a past
employee for the City of Frid7ey and who worked with the Comnission, and
Jerry Boardman, City P7anner.
Mr. Hunt stated that Ms. Cayan left the City just before the completion of
tte handicap award proposal, and yet she worked on that proposal for a couple
of days after she had left the City, which was strictly volunteer time.
Mrs, van Dan stated Ms. Cayan put in many volunteer hours even when she was
an employee of the City of Fridley. Mr. Boardman also has put in many hours
of volunteer time.
2. Review of City's Disaster Preparedness Pian
(Tim Turnbull, Neighborhood 5ervice Coordinator for the Police Dept, will
be at the October meeting)
Mr. Hunt stated the City has a Disaster Preparedness Plan which is about
two inches thick and includes al] the details that the federal and state
governments require, certain types of studies, designations of people, etc.
That could be made available to the Commission members if they wanted it,
However, he had provided the Commission members with the February 1982
"Overview, Emergency Plan - "�atural Disasters".
Mr. Treuenfels asked what would trigger the emergency plan.
Mr. Hunt stated that Jim Hill, Director of Public Safety, is Director of
Civil Defense. He is subject only to the Mayor. If the Mayor is the first
on the scene, the Mayor can take charge, but unless the Mayor pre-empts
it, the decisions are made by Mr. Hill.
Mr. Treuenfels stated the next thing of importance to him and one that has
him a little confused was the City's relationship to the pub7ic and what the
public is expected to do and who will notify the public about what they are
supposed to do?
Mrs. van Dan stated she was sure that in the procedures, there are specific
step-by-step guidelines on what is to be done in every situation. Most
people today have battery radios, and when tfiey hear the siren, they grab
the battery radio and a flash7ight and go to a place of safety.
Mrs. Kocher stated that schoo7 children are also drilled and taught what
to do in an emergency.
HUHAN RESOURCES COMMISSIDN MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1 1983 PAGE 3
Mrs. van Dan stated she thought one thing that has not been-cbmmunicated to
the general public is how to evacuate the city.
Mr, Minton asked what the Carmission's main concern should be regarding this
plan.
Mr. Treuenfels stated it was his concern that the Canmission understand the
plan and have tfieir questions answered; then see to it that the citizens of
fridley are adequately informed on what to do in an emergency.
Mrs, Kocher stated her biggest concern was the trailer park and where those
people go in case of a disaster.
Mrs, van Dan asked if tfiere were emergency food shelves or was that taken
. care of by the Red Cross?
Mr. Hunt stated these questions could be answered by Tim Turnbull at the
next meeting.
Mr. Treuenfels stated that the first paragraph on page two of the "Overview"
stated: "During a Civil Defense Emergency, the State Director or a member
of a class of inembers of a state or local Civil Oefense organization designated
by tfie Governor may, when necessary to save life or property: (1) require
any person, except members of the Federal or State military forces and
officers of the State or a political subdivisicn, to perform services for
Civil Defense purposes as directed by any of the persons first above described,
(2} commandeer during a Civil Defense emergency, any motor vehicle, tools,
applicances or any other personal property." .
Mr. Treuenfe7s stated he would be concerned that people who would be directing
or cortmandeering would be properly identified to the pub7ic.
Mr. Goodspeed stated tfiis item should be continued until the next meeting
when Tim Turnbull will be present to answer the Commission's questions.
3. Review of Comnission's Work P]an
a. Low Interest Loan Program for Barrier Removal
Mr. Goodspeed stated that at the June meeting, he reported to the
Corrmission on the Comnercial Rehab Loan Program the City of St. Paul
has, wfiere there are certain zones and strips of land that are run
down, and the loans are targeted at these areas.
Mr. Goodspeed stated the reason.for the low interest loan program in
Fridley would be, not to target slum areas, but for barrier removal
in small businesses. He stated he has not done any further work on
this. The Commission has asked for CDBG funds to be designated for
this program, but they have not yet heard if any of those funds have
been designated for this purpose.
HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1983 PAGE 4
Mr. Hunt stated he would get a status report on the dis#r� bution of
CDBG funds for barrier removal and funding for cortmum ty service
organizations.
b. Establishment of Comnunications and Correspondence with other Human
Rights Commissions
Mr. Treuenfels stated this was his area of concern. He stateA he has
not been able to devote time to it because of a change in his work
schedule. Ne stated he hoped to be able to start something going on
it soon. He stated he wou�d try to get in touch with Sharon Provart,
Minnesota League of Human Rights Comnissions for the District of Fridley,
Columbia Heights, and Coon Rapids. He would find out what Ms. Provart
is planning to do and whether the Comnission can get together with the
Columbia Heights and possibly the Coon Rapids Human Rights Commissions.
Mr. Goodspeed stated that in the recent newsletter from the Minnesota
League of Human Rights Comnissions, it stated the League was siding
with the Indians in a case where a tribe of Indians are on a reservation,
are being banned from voting in a nearby city, because the city officaTs
are concerned that the Indians are voting in city elections but are not
part of the city jurisdiction. The Indians' problem is they cannot vote
in federal and state elections because they do not have their own polling
place. The conflict is whether the Indians are allowed to vote when they
are not part of the 7oca] jurisdiction.
Mr. Goodspeed stated he personally thought the only obvious solution is
to give the Indians their own polling p7ace.
Mr. Treuenfels suggested Mr. Goodspeed write a letter to the League
from the Commission supporting the idea of the Indians having their own
polling place on the reservation.
Mrs. Kocher stated she would support that, but she would also like to
know why that solution has not been considered.
Mrs� van Dan stated she thought it would be more appropriate to write
a letter to the League requesting more information on this issue and
asking the League why they are siding with the Indians in this matter.
Mr. Goodspeed stated he would write a letter to the League requesting
more information.
c. Establishment of a Connection with the Anoka County Community Nousing
Resources Board (ACCHRB)
Mr. Treuenfels stated the ACCHRB is involved in promoting an understand-
ing among realtors of fair housing practices and what realtors can do
as far as fair housing. He stated the Comnission has been invited to
participate in its publicity and other activities, but they have never
done anything about it.
HUPIAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1 1983 PAGE 5
Mr. Hunt stated that in the work plan, the Commission m�rtbers had
listed the following action items regarding the ACCHRB: (1) Ca71
Mary Cayan, Staff person, to discuss participation in "round table"
seminars and obtaining reports on fair housing needs in Fridley;
(2) Discuss possible action needed in light of these reports.
Mr, Treuenfels stated he would call Ms. Cayan to see if the Commission
could obtain a report on fair housing practices and to see if there
are any problems in Fridley.
Mr. Treuenfels stated that some years ago, the Comnission worked on
the development of the City's Comprehensive Plan. It predicted what
the population would be like in 1990 and the year 2000. He thought it
was Metropolitan Council that recommended that a certain amount of
housing units must be developed specifically for low and middle income
families. He stated maybe the Commission can ask about that and if
anything is being done about it.
OTHER OLD BUSINESS:
a. Minutes from Volunteer Coalition
Mr, Hunt stated he had given the Cortmission members minutes of the
August 5, 1983, Volunteer Coalition meeting.
b. Community Program Award of $1,000
Mr. Hunt stated Barb Terpstra brought in the $1,000 to the City, and
Sid Ir�nan had written her a letter confirming that the money will be used
only for the expenses of the Senior Citizens bus trips as it relates to
transporting seniors for shopping as opposed to congregate dining.
Mr. Hunt stated that since 7ast March, he has been trying to get Congressman
Sikorski to attend a ceremony presenting the check and a placque to the IYDP
Committee. Originally, they had written to Senator Durenberger to attend,
ht he had declined. Right now, they have tentatively set the ceremony for
Sept. 26tfi for a photograph-taking session. Senator Sikorski is planning
to be there.
c. Article in Ju7y 1983 Minnesota Cities
Mr, Hunt stated the Comnission members had received a copy of an article
by Nasim Qureshi entitled, "Gettin9 Tfiere and Getting In; fridley Comnittee
Addresses Issues of the Handicapped".

1. REQUEST FOR CONTRACT CHANGES BY VON KLUG & ASSOCIATES:
Mr. Boardman stated he felt this situation primarily revolves around a mis-
understanding of the contract between Von Klug and Associates and the HRA,
in the sense that when they started tfie contract in August 1982, Von Klug &
Associates indicated there were two ways of �oing on a relocation contract.
One would cost the �RA $9,000 and the other would cost tfie HRA $14,500.
After some discussion on the matter, tfie HRA made the determination to go
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY �EETIN6 SEPTEMBER 8 1983 PAGE 2
with the $9,000 contract and carry out the relocation based on that contract.
Somewhere down the line, Von K7ug & Assoc. did take on the work that was
necessary accordi.ng to what their description was on that part of the
contract tfiat would have 6een part of the $14,500 contract.
Mr, Boardman stated they got some indication of tfiis in March when they got
a hi7ling saying Von Klug & Assoc, fiad completed $6,000 of the contract and
were requesting an additional $3,000. The HRA started the contract by paying
Von Klug & Assoc. $3,000 up-front with a payment due when certain projects
were completed. On March 3, 1983, Von Klug & Assoc, did request an additional
$3,000; and at that t5me, they did note there was an agreement that specified
dlfferent services; however, they also said they were definitely due another
payment of services, but that they were currently reviewing the situation.
Mr. Boardman stated he had talked to Mr. Von Klug and Mr. Von Klug indicated
they were working things out. Mr, Boardman stated he assumed that to mean
that Von Klug & Assoc. were going to be able to work it out and still cane
under the $9,000 contract, but this was not the case. What they meant was
they would work it out with the HRA for a contract modification. In August
1983, Von Klug & Assoc. came up with a contract modification. The problem
wttfi the contract modification is that the work had been completed without
any opportunity for the HRA to approve or not approve those changes.
Mr. Boardman stated he has talked this over with Mr. Newman. They have looked
over the records and the contract, and based on the contract, they feel there
was some obligation on the part of Von Klug & Assoc. to contact the HRA prior
to the time those expenditures were going to be made.
Mr. Boardman stated that at this point in time, the HRA has two alternatives:
(1) The HRA can say there are no contract modifications; or (2) They can
authorize Mr. Newman and Staff to sit down with Von Klug & Assoc. and try to
come up with an equitable solution.
Mr. Commers stated they have a copy of a breakdown of services performed by
Von Klug & Assoc. from August 1982 through June 1983. Were there any real
questions as to whether these services were or were not performed?
Mr. Newman stated he did not think there was any dispute that Von Klug &
Assoc. performed those services. In looking at the contract as prepared by
�on Klug & Assoc, the description of services are described in a general sense
and in looking at the services provided, it appears a number of those thin9s
could easily have been included under services that were supposed to be pro-
vided under the $9,000 contract and not as additions.
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Von Klug did meet with Staff as far as the acquisition
of the items in Lennies' Laudromat. Von Klug & Assoc, are claiming that was
acquisition work and not part of the relocation. The City did use their ser-
vi�es but were not aware that it was an additional cost to the contract.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER 8 1983 PAGE 3
Ms. Svendsen stated tfiat on page 2 of Mr. Von Klug's Aug. 2, 1983, letter,
Mr. Yon Klug stated that 6ecause tceo businesses' relocations were to be
¢unded with CDBG funds, "tFie fast-track evaluation method cannot be used
ih that•circumstance; 6ence oar contractual reference to a tax increment
project, wfierein tfie evalvation metfwd is allowed". She asked Mr, poardman
ta �cplai:n th��,
Mr. Boardman stated that when they started the project, they were not aware
they were going to use CDBG monies. That didn't come up until the HRA
approved the plaza. He stated one problem he has is that he has only
received one kind of report, and that was the report Von Kiug & Assoc.
said they had used for CDBG-type projects, so Mr. Boardman had not noticed
any changes. All the reports were the same reports.
Mr. Prieditis stated he had studied the letters from Von Klug & Assoc. anA
Mr. Boardman's and Mr,Newman's reports. He felt a contract is a fixed-fee
contract for a certain amount of money, He believed that the hours were
sPent by Uon Klug b Assoc., but this was not the contract agreed upon between
the HRA and Von Klug & Assoc. He did not feel the HRA owed Von Klug & Assoc.
anything over what was agreed upon in the $9,000 contract. Being professionals,
Von Klug & Assoc. should recognize that sometimes projects are easier and some-
times projects are more difficult. It is just part of the situation.
Ms, dudy Von Klug stated tfiere are several factors they feel enter into this,
Ftl-st of a11, they did work on acquisition of property, even though their
contract was for relocation. They buy permanent real estate and they buy
trade fixtures and relocate ti�e rest of the movable property. Their contract
stated that they work with the movable property and the only reference in the
services section on tfie acquisition was that they will make sure there is no
duplication of payment,
Ms. Von Klug stated their contract started on Sept. 17, 1982, and on Sept. 23
they started with Lennies' Laundromat. The first thing they found was that
none of the fixtures had been acquired. This was something they had talked
a6o�t with City Staff and felt there was an understanding t6at it was much
less expensive to the HRA to acquire fixtures than to move them. At that
point, tfiey expended at least 58 hours on seeing that the HRA acquired the
fixtures, ratfier tf�an relocating tf�em. They would not have had to do that;
they could fiave simply taken tfie inventory and worked with it. At the time
tfiey tFiougfit Mr, Boardman and City Staff understood what the contract covered
and what it did not, Wfien they talked to Mr. Boardman ahout the need to hire
apprai3ers and get tfiem on site and get these tf�ings taken care of, they
mistakenly thongfii Mr. Boardman understood tF�ere was no acquisition within
theiY contract� tfiat it was only specified that tfiey would make sure there
was no duplication of payment. Their confusion was that when they talked to
Staff about doing tf�e work and were authorized to go ahead and work with the
appraisers, they thought Staff understood this was not part of the base
contract.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT RUTH�RITP MEETING, SEPTEMBER 8 1983 PAGE 4
Ms. Von Klug stated tfiat witR tfie introduction of CDBG funds, while it only
affects two bvsinesses, it not only affects the amount of documentation in
the claim for tfie payment but also affects tfie amount of services they are
reqoired to give on an ongoing 6asis. That leaves them with the choice of
�hether tF�y take those two tiusinesses and give them special services they
wou7d not give to the rest of the businesses simply because the two businesses
were funded one way and tfie otfier businesses were funded another way. Within
their company, tfiey believe very strongly that tfie Uniform Relocation Act's
main purpose is to achieve uniformity, and that it wou7d not be fair to give
Dr. Ryans and the Battery Discount more services than the other businesses.
Tfiat iS wfiy Mr. Boardman did not get two different reports--one for tax
increment and one for CDBG funds and wfiy tfiey continue to work and give more
sernites to tfie tax ihcrement 6usinesses. Again, tfiey thought they had
e�cplained the two methods of services, and t6at tfie Staff understood the
tecf�nical aspects well enough to see the difference and tf�at Staff would know
that when two businesses were funded with CDBG mo�ies, it would trigger extra
work.
Mr. Comners asked what extra work was involved with the relocations funded
with CDBG funds.
Ms. Von Klu9 stated site search was one example. When they do an evaluation
under tax increment, all they do at the initial time they go in
is survey the market for about 2 weeks to determine if it looks like there
are some types of vacancies available and make a prognosis as to whether
that business will be able to find a site. Under CD6G, they are under an
obligation to provide constant site search and make constant referrals to
tf�e 6usinesses on an ongoirg basis.
Ms. Von Klug stated that in March 1983, they still hoped to be able to do the
work under contract, but they found they couldn't, That is why on the March
invoice they noted that there was a discrepancy on what they had provided
and what was called for in the contract and that they were trying to evaluate
it. The first letter to Mr. Boardman was dated in July 1983, and Mr. Boardman
�ked for a follow-up letter which was dated August 2, 1983.
Ms. Von Klug stated that, if anything, their biggest problem was they did not
look out for themselves. Instead, they tried to look out for their client,
the HRA. For example, when they started with Lennies and found the HRA had
not acquired the fixtures, t6ey sfiould have stopped right there and renegotiated
tfie contract. Instead, tF�ey went afiead and did the work under the assumption
tFiat Staff knew tF�e limts of the contract and that what they were doing was in
excess of tfiat contract. Ti�ey also honestly felt that with all the savings to
tfie HRA for acquisition versus relocating, it would not be difficul* to get
paid for the extra hours they put in,
Mr. Inman stated that if the HRA chooses to have Staff and Von Klug & Assoc.
get together to negotiate a solution, he F�ad no problem with that. However,
he wanted to point out tf�at in Mr. Newman's 7etter in reference to Para9raph J
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER 8 1983 PAGE 5
of tfie contract, Mr. Newman pointed out that all changes in the contract
must be in writing. To Mr. Inman's knowledge, there has been nothing in
writing. If Ms. Von Klag's contention was true, tfien it was the situation
from the bidding perspective where you hire someone to provide apples and
tt�y are providing oranges which is something totally outside the contract.
Mr. Comners stated it was certainly obvious that there was a lack of comnuni-
cation and understanding between both sides.
Mr. Commers asked Mr, Von Klu9 if they were willing to work with Staff to
see if something could 6e worked out,
�r, Von Klug stated they were.
Mr. Prieditis stated that from their previous background and experience, why
hadn't Von Klug & Assoc. foreseen that sor.ie additional services might be
required?
Mr. Von Klug stated that in the Twin Cities area, they do not encounter this
type of situation very often, mainly because the bulk of the appraisers who
work witfi municipalities are familier with fixed appraisals. The appraiser
the HRA hired, Mr. Mauser, was obviously not familiar with coirmercial properties.
Ms. Von Klug stated Von Klug & Assoc. has been in business since 1974, and
this is the very first time anything like this has happened. They have never
had a contract increase.
MOTIOP7 BY MR. PRAIRIE TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO NEGOTIATE F7ITH VOIT KL17G & ASSOC.
AND BRING BACK R RECOMMENDATION TO THE OCTOBER HRA MEETING.
MOTION DZED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Ms. Von Klug stated that if they got paid for every single thing they did,
they would get $15,000. Thev recognize they did not look out for themselves
in that they did not follow the procedure of their contract.
Mr. Comners stated tfiere seems to be problems on both sides of the situation
in terms of understanding what the contract was, understanding what mork was
involved, and whether or not there were changes that were made that were
within or without the contract. it seemed to him that there should be some
reasonable Yray of trying to arrive at a r�edium ground in resolving it.
Mr. Von Klug stated he agreed and that was why he and his wife were at the
meeting.

CARRZED UNANIMOUSLY.
GING C�MPANY - REQUEST fOR
MOTZON BY MR, PRAZRIE� SECONDED BY MR, PRIEDITIS, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC
HEARING ON JOXNSON PRINTING AND PACKAGZNG COMPANY.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CXAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLA.RED THE PUBLIC
HERRING OPEN AT 8:25 P.M.
Mr, Inman stated this is the first time the HRA has held a public hearing in
this fashion, and there were two reasons for it: (1) When Johnson Printing
and Packaging began to discuss coming to Fridley, Staff began to put into
motion some of the processes for the types of financinq the,y would need to
review. The rationale was that since there is such a long lead time in the
IDB process, they thought it was prudent on their part to get the public hearing
on the agenda. To his knowledge, Johnson Printing and Packaging has not yet
firmed up their final t;pe of financing and, therefore, the only action for
the HRA to take at this meeting is to hear public comment and hear about the
project; (2) In some of the discussions and cormnents made by the NRA, the
Staff and the HRA felt it was important to be made aware of all types of
development in the City of Fridley, whether the HRA has a direct or a sub-
sidiary interest. From that standpoint, Staff felt it was important to allow
the HRA to hear testimony and discuss the project. In the future, Staff will
probably be recomnending similar types of hearings or at least discussions to
ensure the HRA is informed of all types of IDB's throughout the City so they
are aware of all types of developments, again whether it relates directly to
the HRA or not.
Mr. Inman stated that at the current time, Johnson Printing and Packaging is
negotiating to establish a printing location on the property on Osborne Rd.
(the Consolidated Can property). The request on the IDB apptication is for
$4.3 million. There are some discusssions on the actual amount of financing
when the final huildin9 plans are set up. Johnson Printing and Packaging is
estimating that approximately 100 new jobs will be added. The estimated amount
of taxes will be based on the final building plans and size. The original
proposal was for 100,000 sq, ft., but that has been reduced to 75,000 sq. ft.
Mr, Inman stated Jim Casserly from 0'Connor & Hannan was at the meeting
serving as bond counse7, and there were two representati-es, one from
Johnson Printing and Packaging, and one from Langer Construction.
Mr. Casserly stated that the reserve financing mechanism evolves that the
HRA, in fact, will be issuing the bonds and since the time when Johnson
Printing and Packaging came in, they did not know what system would be avail-
able, they decided to hold a public hearing before the HRA and the City Council.
That is why there was a double notice and a double system in doing this.
That may not have to be the case in the future.
HOUSIP�G & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER 8 1983 PAGE 7
Mr. Comners asked if the location where Johnson Printing and Packaging
Wa$ planning to build was located in the tax increment district.
Mr. Inman stated that at the current time, they are not included in the tax
increment district. They are included in the modified project area that the
HRA approved and sent on to the City Council. The City Council will be
aciing on the modified project area on Monday, Sept, 12.
Mr. Inman stated that at this time, there is no action required by the HRA
unti7 Johnson Printing and Packa9ing has its financing all arranged. If
Johnson Printing and Packaging does need assistance, then there is a whole
process the HRA can follow to add this area into the tax increment district.
Mr, John Marsh, Langer Construction Co., stated this would be a 75,000 sq, ft.
printing plant--a very clean printing plant. There will be 15,000 sq. ft.
of office and 60,OQ0 sq, ft. of manufacturing with the ability to expand
another 60,000 sq. ft. Johnson Printing and Packaging prints packaging for
different products sold commercially. The building will be primarily of
masonary construction, 16 ft. high and located on about 6z acres. The building
will front on 77th St,
Mr. Stu Weitzman, Vice President of Johnson Printing and Packaging, stated
that right now they are located at 300 - lst Ave. So. Johnson Printing and
Packa9ing has been in existence since about 1912, at which time they had a
location in both downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul. Approx. 1920
they merged the two plants and were operating out of a portion of one floor
in the building they currently own. It is a love]y, historic, five-story
building, but, unfortunately, they have outgrown it. They are looking at
moving their manufacturing onto one floor which will allow them to have
larger format equipment and a tremendous amount of production savings.
Mr. Weitzman stated the project is going forward very well. They hope to
have all the financing completed by the following week. They would like to
move ahead very quickly and would like to begin breaking ground and start
building soon.
Mr, Coreners stated they are looking forward to having �ohnson Printing and
Packaging in Fridley, and the HRA will do whatever tr�zy reasonably can to
accommodate them.
Mr. Weitzman stated City Staff has been tremendous, and the cooperation
with the City Staff is one of the reasons why Johnson Printing and Packaging
is very excited about coming to Fridley.
Mr. Comners asked if any special meetings were going to be necessary.
Mr. Casserly stated that depending on the structure of the financing and
the arrangement with the company to provide some assistance, it may require
a very short special meeting for the HRA to authorize whatever arran9ements
are needed. Johnson Printing and Packaging can start construction after
the preliminary resolution is approved, but the kind of assistance the City
might provide is going to require further resolutions.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETIN6� SEPTEMBER 8 7983 PAGE 8
Mr. Commers requested Staff to put togetfier a memo to the HRA defining
1� detail the nature and the extent of the types of assistance that
Johnson Printing and Packaging might be reauesting. He stated he would like
that memo mailed to the HRA members Pr�or to the next meeting.

project.
3. CONSIDERATION
ve
A REDRAFT OF RIGHT
NC, Aug. 17, 7983,
rector}
LOPMENT WITH ST. PHILIPS
to St. Phi lips Human Services, Inc.
Mr. Boardman stated this was on the July agenda as a possible alternative
if St. Phillips was going to the option arrangement. At this time, they have
not gone into that option; however, Howard Helgen will be working with
Mr. Saliterman over the next couple of weeks.
Mr. Boardman stated he gave Howard Helgen a copy of the August llth letter
on this subject to see if Mr. Helgen had any problems with it. Mr. Hel9en
indicated St. Phillips Human Services, Inc „ had no problems with it.
Mr. Boardman stated this letter was a rewrite based on the service based on
the appraisal the HRA had done. The HRA's appraisal came in at $2.20/sq, ft,
St. Phillips'possible option is $2.36/sq. ft.
Mr. Commers stated that in giving assistance and acquiring property directly,
they have always required an appraisal and have been required to go basically
with their appraisal with respect to the acquisition. Their appraisal in this
case is $2.20. If St. Phillips Human Services, Inc., enters into the option
Wlth $2.36/sq. ft., the HRA can still give them assistance since the HRA will
not 6e acquiring the property; fiowever, their option price is in excess of
what the HRA's appraisal would seem to indicate should be paid for the property.
Mr. Boardman stated that was correct. Staff is suggesting that the HRA give
St. Phillips assistance up to $2.20/sq. ft. St. Phillips has gotten commit-
ments for other assistance from the City with CDBG funds of :�^.,��0 which
�•routd cover the balance of the acquisition. There is a possibility the HRA
could provide otner assistance in ot;ier areas, such as soil correction, but he
felt their actual comnitmeni was the $2.20/s4. ft. appraisal.
Mr. Cormners asked if there was any action required of the HRA.
Mr. Boardman stated the HRA had previously approved a right of development to
St, phillips Human Services, Inc., which covered their actual acquisition of
that property and, if not, it would be a condemnation action. In this situa-
tion, because St. Phillips is talking about entering into an option, if they
get that option, the HRA needs a different kind of right of development. That
is why this letter was written.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER 8 1983 PAGE 9
Mr. Boardman stated he would like approval from the HRA of this right of
development so they have this on record as the right of developnent for
St. Phillips since they are planning on entering into an option agreement.
It was his understanding that St. Phillips was agreeable to this proposal.
Legal staff has reviewed the agreement and feels the HRA is protected.
Mr. Commers asked if there was any reasonable expectation that additional
monies will be requested by St. Phillips Human Services, Inc.
Mr, Boardman stated tfiere is some reasonable expectation that there is
going to be some soil correction on this site which would be in the range
of $24,000. He wanted to make it clear that the maximum assistance the
HRA would grant in any case is $320,000 or the amount of taxes that would
be generated on that project, and that he had stated in the letter that the
"total HRA assistance including future commitments, shall not exceed $320,000
or that value of tax increments generated based on the development of 4D
units with a building value of $1,360,000, paying an estimated $47,649 in
taxes".
Mr. Cor�mers stated it was his concern that it is clear to St. Phillips
Human Services, Inc., the type of assistance they are going to be getting so
they do not make any commitments beyond what is reasonably expected of the
HRA.
Mr. Boardman stated he has explained this in depth to Howard Helgen, and
Mr. Helgen understands the situation. Mr, Boardman stated he had recommended
to Mr. Helgen that any option they do go into with Mr, Saliterman be run by
the HRA attorney to make sure both the HRA and St. Phillips Human Services,
Inc., have some amount of protection. Mr. Helgen indicated they would have to
put up $2,000 as far as an option payment; however, there are stipulations
within that option that, if for whatever reason they do not get their funds
or the HRA does not come up with funds, St. Phillips will get that $2,000 back.
Mr. Commers stated that as he understood it, Mr, Boardman wi71 rewrite this
letter with a current date and submit it to St. Phillips for their signature.
Mr. Boardman stated that was correct.

4. CONSIDERATION OF NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT WITH COMMUNITY CREDIT COMPANY:
c
Mr. Boardman stated that at the HRA's June meeting, they had discussed that
Cortmunity Credit was looking for leasehold damages. At that time, the
HRA authorized Staff to try to negotiate with Comnunity Credit to get those
leasehold damages covered,
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER S 1983 PAGE 10
Mr, Boardman stated Mr, Herrick has been rrorking with Brian Hurd of
Canmunity Credit, and they have come up with the solution for settlement as
out7ined in Mr. Hurd's letter to Mr. Herrick dated August 12. 1983. They
agreed to leasehold damages in the amount of $3,750, but the HRA would also
cover the appraisal fee of �3D0. The HRA will note that there is a fi�ure
of 512.752 for leasehold fixtures and improverients. Those are fixture pur-
chases that would have to be made anyway. There is also another cost they
had just received from Von Klug 6 Assoc. at tonights meeting for relocation
costs. Those relocation costs ar-e in the amount of $1,558.54. Relocation costs
would also have to be made regardless of any settlement of the leasehold damages.

5. DISLUSSION ON HARDWARE BUILDING:
Mr, Boardman stated there is no specific proposal from the Lions Club at this
time. The last time they talked to the Lions Club was a couple of months
ago, and what the Lions were looking at was a reduced payment initially in
the first year. They looked at a 3-year lease with two 1-year options which
would have extended the lease out five years. If they were to go into the
building, they said they would have to put about $50-55,000 into the building
to bring it up to code.
Mr. Boardman stated that if the HRA felt comfortable with this kind of arrange-
ment with the Lions Club, Staff will work very hard to negotiate with them to
put them into the building, He stated the only thing that might possibly come
to the hardware building is the Fridley Medical Center, which is looking at
an expansion of an additional 6D,000 sq, ft, by 1986. If this would be the
case, there would be the potential problem with the two 1-year options which
the Lions Club wanted.
Mr. Commers asked if there could 6e exceptions put into those options that the
Lions could have those options with the one exception that if a right of
development is granted and development does start on that parcel, the HRA
could terminate or the Lions would lose their option ability.
Mr. Boardman stated this could 6e discussed with the Lions Club to see if
they vrere in agreement. He stated they rrould work with the Lions Club to
see lf some reasonab]e solution cou7d be worked out that would not tie the
hands of the HRA if development did go in on tfiis property.
Mr. Comners directed Staff to contact the Lions Club and explore this matter
flirther,
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER 8 1983 PAGE 11
Mr, Boardman stated that, regarding the hardware building, he has been
approached by Kurt Schrupp of the fridley Jaycees about the possibility of
again using the hardware building for their Halloween haunted house. He
had told Mr. Schrupp he wou7d bring this request before the HRA at the
Sept, meeting.
Mr. Corrmers stated he had no problem with the Jaycees using it for this
purpose. He stated he thought it was a great use for the building, and the
funds are used for their service efforts.
Mr. Comners stated it was the concensus of the HRA members to approve the
use of the hardware building by the Jaycees for their annual haunted house
activity.
6. CONSIDERATION OF HFA NEWSLETTER:
Mr. Boardman handed out copies of a sample newsletter. He stated it would
probably be mailed out to the public around Oct. 15. He stated the :otal
cost of the newsletter is approx. $3,000. He felt it was well worth the
expenditure. It is something that should be done, not only this year, but
be an annual publication by the HRA.
Mr, Boardman stated he was looking for the HRA
to authorize the expenditure of the funds needed to put the newsletter together,
Mr, Commers stated he thought the members should be allowed time to comment
and make suggestions before the newsletter is mailed out.
Mr, Boardman stated the members will get the proofs and will get time to
comment and make changes before the newsletter is printed and mailed out.
MOTION BY MR, PRIEDITIS� SECONDED 8Y MR. PRAZRIE� TO GIVE STRFF THE AUTHORZTY
TO CD AHEAD WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE FRIDLEY XRA NEWSLETTER.
Mr, Caomers and Mr. Prairie both expressed some concern about the timing of
the newsletter coming out just before elections. They did not want it to
become a politica7 tool. The newsletter should be a factunl brochure and
that is all.
Mr. Boardman stated the problem they are seeing right nov� is most people do
not understand the tax increment district or the function of the HRA. He
felt it was very important at this time for the HR,4 to explain its role and
function and get the facts out to the public.
Mr. Newman stated he did not think it was realistic to pretend this newsletter
will not be political, no matter how well it is presented and how factual it
is, People are going to interpret it the way they want to interpret it.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETIN6 SEPTEMBER 8 7983 PA6E 12

will not [ie salaries. Tfie reason for this is that certain people that bill
the City, bill for both City and HRA-related expenses. They are now trying
to explain to people that they should bill the City and HRA separately.
Mr, Inman stated there was a memo requesting the HRA to approve the payment

specifically by the HRA for design work. InterDesign did tf�e design
work, new design work was added, and because of other modifications,
InterDesign was asked to go back and redo some areas.

Mr. Boardman stated he sat down with people from InterDesig� and City
Engineering staff who have been working on the project and reviewed the
seven items listed under additional services by InterDesign. The only
one the City felt was inappropriate was �5 (changes to the fountain
slab and wall detai7s that were directed by the City and then had to be
readjusted), InterOesign did agree to drop #5. At this time, the City
feels the other six additional services are appropriate for InterDesign.

b. Invoices from Court Appointed Commissioners
Mr. Boardman stated they have received three invoices from the three
commissioners appointed to the Hearing of Ryan's Auto condemnation,
Each invoice was for 8 days at $100 per day, totalling $800.
Mr, Comners stated he thought $800 seemed rather expensive. He could
understand the fee of $100/day, but he could not imagine eight days of
work being necessary. He stated these invoices should be held over unti7
the next meeting and 5taff should check into this further.
c. Deralition of Structures at 6339-6389 University Ave. N.E.
Mr. Boardman stated the HRA did approve a contract with Renollett
Trucking of $12,95� for the demolition of these structures. Previously,
the HRA approved the first payment for $8,611.75. The final payment of
$4,338.25 is now due to Renollett, and he would recomnend the HRA approve
that payment.

They did get two telephone estimates on the cost. One estimate was for
$1,040 and one from Renollett Trucking for $960. He stated they approved

Mr. Boardman stated he would like to make the discussion relative to both
the special use permit and the lot split since they would be talking about
the same property.
Mr. Boardman stated the property is located on Highway 65 between 73rd Ave.
and 72nd Ave. N.E. It is a fairly narrow piece of property, to the extent
that if the ]ot is split at all, the City would have to get some kind of an
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIryG; SEPTEMBER 28, 1983 PAGE 2
access to the property, They do not want an access out onto Highway 65;
tfierefore, any access had to come from 73rd/72nd. The plan for 73rd is for
a median eventually, at least partially back and perhaps 2/3 back on this
site, There are no plans at this point in time for a median on 72nd.
Seventy-third Ave. is the heavily used intersection. What this does is
it essentially requires the property to have one total use on it or, if the
lot is split, to have some kind of service or access facility to the develop-
ment. The most logical location for that access is going to be at some point
where they ca� get access both east and west on 73rd. For this reason and
with this particular proposal, they felt a service road was the best alternative.
On 72nd there is a service drive that accesses straight across from the new
proposed service dhqve, and on the nortfi side, they felt it would be best
because of the median and because it would be right across from the driveway
location. In order to do this, they would be in a situation to require all
the right-of-way to come from the lead property and that property would be
the beneficiary of the service road. This situation created the need for
two variances: (1) a variance for the lot size. It would not meet the new
ordinance; however, the total lot itself wou7d meet all the old existing
ordinances. (2) a variance for the setback on the south from 20 feet to 11 feet.
There is not an existing right-of-way right now, but the variance will be
created with the creation of the road system.
Mr. Boardman stated the Engineering Staff has reviewed this proposal exten-
sively and feel there are no immediate problems. They feel the road system
will be workable, and the development, if the special use permit is approved,
would be an appropriate use of this property.
Mr. Boardman stated there were some issues brought up at the Appeals Commission
meeting, Qie was the bikeway/walkway easement, and Mr, Schuette has shown
that in the plan. There is a ditch section out in front, and the Gity would
want to make sure that ditch section is maintained or not altered.
Ms. Schnabel asked what type of building could go in on Parcel B.
Mr. Boardman stated the property is zoned industrial (M-1), and he would prefer
to see it remain industrial at this time. They are talking about a 15,000-
20,D00 sq, ft. building, maybe an office/warehouse type of building. Any
other type of use would take a zoning change unless the use was allowed in
M-1 under a special use permit.
Mr. Schuette stated he is from Colum6us, Ind., an employee of Ashland Oi7
which is the parent company of SuperAmerica. He stated one of the issues
that came up at the Appeals Comnission meeting about rezoning either of the
parcels to commercial was that it would be spot rezoning, because the
properties to the north, south, and east are all zoned industrial. He stated
they have no objection to spot rezoning and have asked for it many times in
many places; however, because the service station/grocery store combination
is permitted by special use permit in an M-1 district, there was no reason
to rezone the property. He stated they will be most critical about what goes
in on Parcel B. At this time, they do not know what will go in on that parcel.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 28 1983 PAGE 3
Mr. Schuette stated that even though they were opposed to the frontage road
in the beginning, they can now see some benefits to their property. He
showed the Co�nission members a prototype of the building they are planning
to build. They have two buildings like this--one in Cottage Grove and one
in Richfield. The building is almost 4800 sq. ft.,in earthtone co7ors,with
a canopy. Under the canopy ihere will be 12 pumps with 24 hoses. The reason
for that many pumps is because many people who buy gasoline also go into
the store to buy groceries or bakery goods using a gas pump space as a park-
ing space. APound the edge of the building is a 3-4 ft, earth berm for
energy conservation. The area wi17 also be landscaped.
Ms, Schnabel asked about the hours of operation.
Mr. Schuette stated he was not sure at this time, but in all probability, it
would be open 24 hours.
Ms. Gabe7 asked about the signage.
Mr. Schuette stated they have a new sign with new decor. There are none like
it in the Minneapolis area. The only place they have put up this sign is
in Lexington, Ky. The sign is 8 ft, x 10 ft. (80 sq. ft.). They will also
have signage on the building.
Mr. Schuette stated the parking is adequate. They have 21 parking spaces in
addition to the 24 spaces under the canopy.

Mr. Oquist stated he thought this was a feasible deve7opment for this corner
property. SuperAmerica has done a nice job with their station areas,
He stated there is still room for an M-1 development on Parcel B, and he
agreed this property should remain M-1.
The Planning Conmission members agreed.
