MOTION BY MR, KONDRICK� SECONDED BY MS. GABEL, TO OPEN TXE PUBLIC HEARING
ON ZOA #84-03 BY RALPH ALLEN FOR GODFATHER'S PIZZA,
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPSRSON OQUIST DECLARED THE
PUBLZC HEARZNG OPEN AT 7:35 P.M.
Mr. Ro6inson stated this property was located on the southeast corner of
52nd Ave, and Central Ave. The zoning at this time is C-1, and a C-2 zoning
is needed for a restaurant. The property is surrounded by C-3 on the north
(Skywood Mall, Menards), by C-1 on the east (apartment building and some
vacant land), and commercial to the south and across the street in
Columbia Heights.
Mr. Robinson stated the whole building is used right now by Great American
Music. The plan is to split and remodel and have Godfather's Pizza on the
north portion (3,200 sq. ft.). That would leave 6,400 sq. ft, remaining
of retail space for Great American Music.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEE7ING AUGUST 22 1984 PAGE 2
Mr. Robinson stated some extensive remodeling is necessary to bring this
property up to today's code. They plan to cut back on the existing blacktop
area and replace it with landscaping and irrigation. The new construction
consists of remodeling and adding to the parking lot in the rear of the
building. The facility will have the required amount of parking stalls at
79. The restaurant, serving liquor, is required to have one staTl for every
f three seats. Godfather's Pizza is proposing 108 seats and 36 parking stalls.
The retail portion requires one stall for 150 customers making 43 spaces, for
an overall total of 79 parking stalls.
Mr. Ro6inson stated the main concern Staff has is that there be ample parking.
Some concerns were raised by the neighbors regarding parking. Apparently,
Great American Music sells tickets in the morning when the parking lot becomes
quite crowded. However, tfiis is primarily in the morning and Godfather's
Pizza will not open until noon, so parkingshould not be a problem.
Mr. Robinson stated two stipulations were an apF�roved landscaping plan and
an approved irrigation plan.
Mr. Jeremy Mayberg stated he was with Paul Pink Assoc. Architects, who have
been commissioned by Godfather's Pizza to develop the plan and work through
the rezoning process and, when approved, to go forward with the actual
architectural design of the restaurant. He introduced Mr. Sid Roff, a con-
struction site engineer for 6odfather's Pizza, who was responsible for most
of the midwest construction of Godfather's Pizzas. He stated Mr. Roff would
give a brief description of the Godfather Pizza operation.
Mr. Roff Stated Godfather's Pizza is a family restaurant. It is a sit-down
restaurant and not a fast-food restaurant. They serve beer, pizza, and
sandwiches. The mea� and all the ingredients for the pizza and sandwiches
are pre-prepped and shipped in. They do not cook per se. They do not have
any grills or fryers, only an oven.
Mr. Mayberg stated they feel this is not a typical kind of development that
is occurring on Central Ave. and is not what they would consider to have a
negative impact on the site.
Mr. Mayberg stated one thing he would like some c1arification on was regard-
ing tfie improvement and maintenance of the site beyond their property line
rfrich is city property.
Mr. Robinson stated it was city policy that the boulevard was the property
owner's responsibility for landscaping and maintenance.
Mr. Mayberg asked if they would have to install irrigation and ma�ntain the
boulevard area on Central Ave. which is not their property. The boulevard
area is approximately 40 ft. to their property line,
Mr. Oquist stated the petitioner definitely had a valid concern when there
is that much boulevard area. It would seem reasonable for the petitioner
to install irrigation on their property and maintain as much area as they can.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 22, 1984 PAGE 3
Mr. Robinson agreed and stated he would check this in Staff because that
was a lot of area to maintain. It was possible the State Highway Dept.
would maintain that boulevard area.
Mr, Oquist asked if the outside of the structure would be remodeled
differently for Godfather's Pizza and for 6reat American Music.
� Mr. Roff stated there will not be a great deal of change to the outside
of the structure, other than a separate entryway and signage.
Mr. Mayberg stated they have been in contact with Great American Music, and
it is Great American Music's intention to upgrade the outside of the building,
but they are waiting for the outcane of this rezoning request.
Mr. Mayberg stated the peak period of the Great American Music store and
the restaurant are off hours. The restaurant peaks after 7:00 p.m., and the
record business peaks before 7:00 p.m. The �oncern expressed regarding
�king by the neighbors was the result of Great American Music selling
tickets to concerts, so some mornings there may be hundreds of people lined
up waiting to buy tickets. At that point, the parking lot does not satisfy
the parking need. However, that surge is gone by 17:00-noon when Godfather's
Pizza opens up for business. So, what may be a problem of great concern
rmlly doesn't affect the parking impact.
Mr. Robinson stated the Engineering Dept, has made the comment that there
is the chance that the City might want to widen 52nd Ave. If tfiat is the
case, it would require some road easement, but would not affect this pro-
prosed plan.
Mr. Mayberg stated Go�ifather's Pizza was certainly willing to work with the
City on that. He stated there was 12 ft, from the edge of the existing
parking lot to the street, so that should not be a problem,
Mr. Oquist suggested the petitioner discuss with the City exactly what the
City's plans are for the widening of 52nd Ave.

RE: Consideration of Special Use Perniit, SPq84-16
Dear Planning Conmissi� Manbers:
t�ty nan�e is Paul Beecroft and I am a xepresentative of BASE�terprises which is
t.he owner of the building at 8154 Fast River R�ad.
In conjunction with your �nsideration of the S�ecial Use Pezmit, SP#84-16 to
allaa gasoline servic� and a oonvenience store at 8100 East River Road, Z ask
that the following wnc�sns be addressed.
27
1. Traffic congesti� has long been a problan on this stretch of East River Road.
2. Gas stations generally create a high wlune of traffic arxi this will only
increase the congestion on this dangesous piece of roadway.
3. Traveling North on East River I3�a3 one enc��nters a bend in the road at
Liberty Street. Traffic is nornially imvinq quite £ast at this intersection
and it is a sanewhat blend agproach ta the �tersectyon of Fairniont, which
is the proPosed site.
4• ��n4 � e�ening xUSh hour traffic, it is almost i�ossible to make a left
hand turn onto East River Rpad, Nprthbp�3� g� }� �st intersections of
Glenooe, Fairniont and Liberty.
5. i believe an indepth study should be made into the feasibility o� stop lights
at the above three intessecti�s to detetmi.ne the ing�act of the potential
additional traffic flaa.
6. The appropriate safety steps to the elimination of road hazar3s should be
made rather than the oa�polu�dinq of the problan.
RPSpectfully,

AUGUST 9, 1984

Chairperson Commers called the August 9, 1984, Housing & Redevelopment Authority
meeting to order at 7:03 p.m,
ROLL CALL:
Mer.ibers Present: Larry Commers, Elmars Prieditis, Carolyn Svendsen,

Members Absent: Walter Rasmussen
Others Present: Nasim Qureshi, HRA Director

Dave Newman, City Attorney

APPROVAL OF JUtJE 27 1984, HOUSIN6 & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MINU7E5:
MOTION BY MR. PRAIHIE� SECONDED BY hIR. PRZEDZTIS, T1� APPROVE' THE' JUNE 27, 1989,
NOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MINUTES AS WRITTEN.
Mr, Cor,mers stated the only comnent he had related to the question discussed at
the last meeting about the dirt problem with Target. Had this been discussed
with Target?
Mr. Qureshi stated he had discussed this with Target. He stated it has been the
City's and the HRA's position that they will level the ground to Target's speci-
ficatio�s for the building. If there is any shortage of material, that is the
responsibility of Target. He was assuming Target was handling the situation as
Target has not cane back to the HRA asking for any assistance.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL V022NG AYE� CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTIOII
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. HEARTLAND REALTY INVESTORS INC. REGARDING SNYDER'S DRUG STORE:
Memo from Mr. Qureshi to HRA dated July 27, 1984; Letter from Snyder's
Drug Store to ProjeCt 61 Corp, dated May 2, 1984)
Mr. Commers stated that in Mr. Qureshi's memo, he had met with Mr. Bill Walters
of Neartland Realty regarding the need of Snyder's possible expansion into
the present City liquor store space. He asked if there had been any change
in Snyder's position regarding that expansion.
HOUSING 8 REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING AUGUST 9 1984 PAGE 2
Mr. Qureshi stated he had talked to Mr, Walters again that day, and
Mr. Walters assured him they are planning to expand into the present City
liquor store space. Mr. Qureshi stated he has told Mr. Walters that the
Lity needs a firm cortmitment by August 23, i984 and Hr. IJalters said they are
working on that deadline. If th� City gets a firm canmitment by Aug. 23,
it is their hope to move into the hardware building sometime in October,
If the City does not get a firm commitment by the Aug. 23 dead7ine, it becomes
impractical for them to try to move into the hardware store building and
be geared up for tf�e Christmas season.
2. HEARTLAPJD LETTER REGARDING PNILLIPS PETROLEUM COMPANY - PURCHASE OF
r c cTnTinr.i.
Mr. Qureshi stated the purchase price of the gas station previously was
$120,000. Phillips has had a new appraisal done on the property, and they
are now recommending a purchase price of $90,000.
Mr. Qureshi stated that at an earlier meetirtg, he had mentioned that the
City has been working with the No11y Shopping Center to improve the facadP
and landscaping. Heartland has applied for a low interest NUD loan of
�100,000 at 5° if they match it with the market rate. So, that would be
$200,000 to be used for improving the Center. HUD has put on some more
restrictions, and they have been working hard to c7ear the loan,
Mr. Qureshi stated that assuming they can package everything and Heartland
does get the loan, it is the CTty's hope to basica7ly do all the new facade,
lighted signs along the front, landscaping, and a remodeled approach into
the Center. The City felt it would not be a good idea to have the gas station
right in front. If the structure could be removed, it would open up more
exposure to Holly Center.
Mr. Qureshi stated Heartland Realty has negotiated the price with Phillips
Petroleum, and they are wil7ing to consider contributing one-half of the
funds requfred to purchase the gas station property. Mr. Qureshi stated it
was his feeling that if they can get a firm commitment that Heartland is
going to put one quarter million dollars into the center, maybe a commitment
of $45,000 by the HRA io just improve the corner mioht be reasonable.
Mr. Qureshi stated that at this time, if the HRA felt comfortable with this,
he would like some indication from the HRA that City Staff should proceed
to work out a preliminary agreement with Heartland Realty.
Mr. Pra�rie stated his only concern was if Heartland would ask for further
ass�stance fran the HRA.
Mr, Comners stated his only concern would be that the City retain some kind
of easement rights over that parcel in case of a major improvement to the
intersection.
HOUSIN6 & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, pUGUST 9. 1984 PAGE 3
Mr. Qureshi stated they are acquiring quite a bit of additional property.
They are proposing three lanes and redoing the sidewalk, so they are making
some provisions for sufficient public right-of-way.
Mr. Cor�ners stated the City has wanted to take that gas station out of there
and would have had to do it at some time anyway. If Heartland is going to
help and, in addition, there is a big improvement to the Center, it seemed to
him that $45,000 was a minor contribution to make, It was to the City's
benefit anyway.
Mr. Prieditis stated it would improve the site visually. He was also in
agreement with Mr. Commers' concern about whether City Staff was looking at
trying to predict any future improvements to the intersection, and was there
a plan for that purpose?
Mr. Qureshi stated they have already done some, but they could certainly
retain some additional property to ensure tfiere are no problems later on.

3. RECEIVE It�FORMA7I0NAL BROCHURE FOR PROMOTIIdG CENTER CITY DEVELOPMEN7:
Mr. Qureshi stated this was a brochure Staff had put together over the last
couple of months. He stated they are trying to project an image that
Frid7ey is a viable, 9rowing, and developing community, and that they are
definitely promoting development. He stated their hope is to use this
introduction in any material they send to potential developers and hope it
projects a good image of the City of Fridley.
Mr. Qureshi stated Staff has also worked out a rough outline of a� insert
which was an invitation for developer interest. They hope this will promote
interest among developers.
Mr, Qureshi stated he was open to suggestions or comments from the members
of the HRA.
Mr. Commers asked what the City's position was regarding the availability
of IDB's for use on the southwest quadrant.
Mr. Qureshi stated this year they still have about $8 million available.
As of Dec. 31, 1984, everything is off, and then it will depend on what the
new state legislation will be for next year. They feel that if the comnunity
is fairly active, they will have a better chance at more of a share of the
funds than other communities.
HOUSIN� & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING. AUGUST 9. 1984 PAGE 4
Mr. Canmers stated that if the City wants to attract a major development
irRo the southwest quadrant, they are going to need to have some funds
available. He would hope there was some coordination between the HRA and
the City Council so the City Council would not approve those bonds for a
)ot of projects and then funds would not be available for a developer that
might come in. The City should make sure it is in a position to secure as
much as they can for next year,
Mr, Qureshi stated they will be aggressive in pursuing the maximum alloca-
tion they can. He was sure that if the HRA had a viable project, the City
Council would give that a preference.
Mr. Prieditis stated that, regarding the brochure, he was certainly in
agreement that in today's world with so many other things going on, there
was a need for the City to have a good quality brochure, He stated he thought
the brochure was very nftely done.
It was the concensus of the NRA members that they were satisfied with the
6rochure and were in agreement with materiai being sent to try to excite some
developer interest.
Mr. Comners stated that it was his understanding that Tast year the HRA had
made a commitment to present some kind of annual report to the citizens of
Fridley. Had anything been done in that regard for this year?
Mr. Qureshi stated an annual report was prepared last year in October just
before the Plaza grand opening,
Mr. Comners stated he did not think the report would have to be as elaborate
as tfie one done iast year, but he did think the HRA had made a commitment
that perhaps each Oct., they should publish a little report so information
could be made available to the public. It would prevent misinformation from
being discussed.
Mr. Prairie stated he agreed.
Ms. Svendsen stated she definitely felt they should publish ar� annual report.
It was in the HR,4's best interest to get accurate information out to the
comnunity, and this was probably the best way to do it, She stated she had
received quite a few favorable comments about the report last year,
It was the concensus of the members of the HRA to ask 5taff to put together
an annual report for 1984, to be brought back to the HRA at their next meeting.

6. RECEIVE INFORMATIO�d REGARDING HRA BONDING fOR CENTER CITY:
Mr, Cor�imers stated the HRA had received a report from Jim 0'Meara at 0'Connor
& Hannan regarding what the HRA might do to restructure their projects in
Center City in that it was required that the funds they had available had to
be used to pay back the bond interest. There were no other alternatives to
make those funds available for other types of expenses. Mr. Commers asked
Mr. Inman to first define the problem,
Mr, Inman stated at the time the original $2,2 million bond was issued, due
to the conservative approach of both the City and the HRA, resolutions were
authorized that guaranteed that every increment generated in the Center City
area in the future would go into that debt service fund. The net effect was
that the only thing the HRA could use that money for was for the payment of
the debt service and the reissuing of bonds. It also eliminates the HRA's
a6ility to take money out of the Center City and give it to other areas, since
Center City is generating their major increment, and it also eliminates the
HRA's ability to turn back any excess increment to any uf the taxing
jurisdictions.
Mr, Inman stated the other question tf�e HRA had asked was regarding the proper
timing with regard to Targei. He stated that what Mr. Casserly was going to
explain to the NRA was of particular interest because it changed the concept
of tying Target increment to another project.
Mr. Inman stated that in Mr. Richard Ehlers' letter of May 3�, 1984, Mr. Ehlers
stated that in order to make the refunding process work, they have to tie up
the entire Target increment which does not allow it to be used for other bonding.
That would basically set them at ground zero in terms of future bonding.
Mr. Inroan stated he would not recommend this approach. Mr. Inman staied he
then talked to Jim Casserly who is now with Miller & 5chroeder.
Mr. Inman stated this will involve action by the HRA and the City Council so
before they spend any time working out the numbers, he had asked Mr, Casserly
to come to the HRA meeting to discuss the benefits of a tax increment revenue
bond refunding. He stated that if the HRA approves of this conceptual idea,
they will then start working on firm numbers.
Mr, �im Casserly handed out capies of a memo he had written to the City
Manager and Finance Director of the City of Fridley dated Aug. 6, 1984. He
stated that last year the HRA redesigned their project areas, so they now
have one project area for the City and that is where they are directing their
development activity. Inside that project area, the HRA had created three
HOUSING 8 REDEVELOPMENT AUTNORITY MEE7ING AU6US7 9 1984 PA6E 6
tax increment districts, and then last year they created a new tax increment
district. The real reason for doing that was to integrate eventually all
their revenues into all of their planning on a city-wide scope, and then
look at what they need for their redevelopment program, He stated the statutes
allow them to do that, but their bond indenture on bonds that were issued for
the Center City area all prohibit them from using any increments for anything
else other than payment of debt service on bonds only inside Center City.
The result of that can be extremely negative, because even if they had excess
increment, they couldn't take the excess increment even if thry had a Froject
inside Center City unless they went throuqh the ruse of issuing a bond and
then paying it off next year, So, the indenture itself has prohibited them
from doing what the statutes allow them to do. And, the reason for havin9
gone through the restructuring was to allow for this abiiity to move funds
in the plan.
Mr. Casserly stated the refunding would be the next step in that exercise.
When they refund the issues, what they are actually doing is putting into
escrorr funds and securing witfi the U.S. Government Obligations the monies
needed to pay the bonds when due that are outstanding. This is called a
defeasance. The bonds are not called, because they can't call them until
1990-91. but they can defease them, They get the money for a defeasement
by issuing refunding bonds. And, if they reissue refunding Donds, it doesn't
cost them anything more but they then use their increment and income available
to pay the new bonds. The proceeds from the new bond issue are iocked by
federal government securities--locked in an escrow fund and the new trustee
has no alternative. The trustee is directed to pay the other 6onds as they
come due. Even though these bonds are defeased, it has the unusual effect
of making them a Triple-A rated bond.
Mr. Casserly stated this was not an uncommon device in the general obligation
bond area at all. What nakes this device a little bit unique is that wh=t
he is suggesting is they use a tax increment revenue bond and not a tax
increment general obligation bond. He stated Fridley is in a wonderful
position to do this. Not many cities are. Minneapolis is doing it, and
Shakopee is doing it.
Mr. Commers stated that in the proposa) Mr. Casserly was putting forth, in
onler to free up some of the funds they have in the Genter City project,
Mr. Casserly is suggesting they purchase some repayment bonds ��ich are
secured by government securities, and that is put in a fund that guarantees
the payment of those bonds so the indenture requirements they had are
eliminated. They can then freely transfer Center City project funds to
other areas. He asked what the cost was of acquiring or purchasing these
new repurchase bonds.
Mr. Casserly stated by the time they got done, it would be between 2'-�-3'z::
of the bond issue.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMEN7 AUTHORITY MEETING, AU6UST 9 1984 PAGE 7
Mr. Casserly stated the memo he had written showed them some of the options
they start having available to them. It was a lot of reasons why Minneapolis
is looking at this and why other cities are looking at doing this. It really
allowed for a lot of flexibility.
Mr. Qureshi stated that if the HRA is comfortable with this concept, they
will run some numbers and bring them back to the HRA at their next meeting.
At that time, if the HRA wants to go with it, they can give their formal
approval,
It was the concensus of the HRA members that Staff coi�tinue to explore the
tax increment revenue bond refunding.
Mr. Comners thanked Mr. Casserly for his presentation.

2• 20NING STANDARDS FL R SCHOOLS:
Kr. Burch stated that, in time, Yhe city expects some oi the
churches in Fridley will want to open day schools as an addition
to their program. Therefore, he was asking the commission members
for their input in adapting present zoning standards for office
buildings (which presently are applied to churches) to small school�
in churches.
Dr. Vos stated Yhat New Br3ghton has a regulation Lhat there must
be one parking stall for every three seats in the sanctuary to
help eliminate any on-street parking problems.
Nr. Oquist stated that the parking rules should be looke9 into in

1. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
a. A-Frame
Mr, Kirk stated that, as the Cortmission knew, there had been some
problems with the A-frame building located up by Grace Hfgh School.
There had been some water problems and part of the support beam had
given way. About the time all these things happened, the
Fridley High School inquired about renting some space. By state law,
the School Dist. has xo provide counseiing to private schoo7s, so
they have to provide counse7ing for Grace High School since it is in
Dist. 14. So, the School District will be leasing the A-frame from the
City beginning in Sept. It is a one-year lease subject to renewal.
PARKS & RECREATIO�� COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 20 1984 PAGE 2
b. Problems at the Community Park
Mr, Kirk stated Mr. Kondrick has received some phone calls, and the
City has received a couple of phone calls and letters from people living
near the community park regarding problems they have with the cortmunity
park.
(Mr. Kondrick arrived at 7:38 p.m.)
Mr. Kirk handed out a coQy of the letters and incident report concerning
complaints about the park. Basically, these complaints dealt a�ith the
public address system, the lights, and some of the general noise in the
area.
Mr. Kirk stated tf�at since they have gotten these complaints, they have
removed the public address system from week night use. They still plan
on using the pu6lic address system for special events, tournaments, 49'er
Days, etc., but for tf�e general softball program for the time being, they
have removed the public address system, That is one step the City has
made in an attempt to cut down on some of the noise.
Mr. Kirk stated the other complaints deal with the lights. Whenever
possible, they have not scheduled the two west fields for late night
games; and if they were scheduled, as soon as the game was over, every
attempt was made to turn the lights off right away.
Mr. Kondrick stated he felt these people have some valid complaints. The
City has already taken care oi the noise from the public address system,
and he felt the other noise problems could be handled also. He asked if
the City had responded to tf�e persons making the complaints.
Mr. Kirk stated the City has responded to two of the complaints by either
a letter or a phone call, The police responded to the first complaint.
Mr, Allen stated he felt it would be appropriate for the City to follow
up on the police inquiry, noting what the City has done to try to
alleviate these problems.
Mr. Kondrick agreed.
Mr. Young stated the Jaycees had a tournament at the community park on
Aug, 17-19. The tournament ran Friday night until 11:00 p.m., Saturday
night until 11:00 p.m., and Sunday night until about 10:30 p.m. On all
of those nights, they shut off the public address system at 9:00 p.m,
Whenever games were done on the back two fields or other fields, they
immediately shut off the lights. In the mornings, they did not turn the
publi� address system on until 9:00-9:30 a.m, They did use the public
address system late Sunday night when there was a championship game, but
that was on field #1, and the speakers point towards University.
Mr. Kirk stated they are also trying to do some things with scheduling
by not allowing games to start earlier than 9:0� a.m.
PARKS & RECREATIQN COMMISSION MEE7ING AUGUST 20 1984 PAGE 3
2. NEII BUSINESS:
a, Fall Meeting Dates
Mr. Kondrick stated that at the last meeting, Mr, Young had stated he
might have a conflict with the Sept.-Dec. Corrmission meetings because
of an opportunity to teaci� fali quarter night classes at Anoka Ramsey
Community College, Mr. Young had stated he would check into this
further to see if there was any possibility the class cou]d be
rescheduled for a different evening,
Mr. Young stated the person at Anoka Ramsey who can make the final
decision about tf�e class being rescheduled was out of town until the
foliowing week. He stated after he talked to this person, he wouid
let either Mr, Kondrick or Dr. Boudreau knaw if there was a need to
discuss alternative meeting dates for the months of Sept,-Dec.
3. OLD BUSINE55:
a. Softbatl 7ournament Refund
Mr. Kirk stated that at the last meeting, the Cor,unission discussed
what would be a fair administrative price to charge a person or group
that reserved the fields, put a deposit down, but because of insufficient
funds to cash the check, was not allowed to run the tournament. The
Commission agreed the �100 clean-up fee plus $150 administrative cost
for a total of �250 was a fair price to charge.
Mr, Kirk stated a motion was made by the Cortmrssion to direct Staff to
col)ect this $Z50 fee frpm f1r, Tony Wajda, who, because of fnsufficient
funds, was not al�owed to run a tournament on July 14-15. Mr. Kirk
stated �Jr.Boudreau contacted Mr, Wajda, but Mr. Wajda did not think
$250 was a fair fee and wanted to carry this further, Dr. Boudreau
told Mr. Wajda of the Comnission meeting. Both Mr. Kirk and Dr, Boudreau
have tried unsuccessfully to contact Mr. Wajda since then, Dr. Boudreau
did ca11 and leave a message to have Mr, Wajda call htm to remind him of
the Comnission meeting, Mr. Wajda did not return the call and was not at
the meeting,
Mr, Kirk stated Staff is now looking for some direction from the Commission.
Did the Commission want Staff to continue to pursue this with Mr, Wajda
or did the Commission vant Staff to turn over the two checks to the Police
Dept, as bad cfiecks and let tfie Police Dept. try to collect?
Mr, Kondrick stated that weekend cou7d have been used by someone else.
Dollars were 7ost because of the inability to rent the fields to someone
else. He stated Mr, Wajda gave the City bad checks and Mr. Kondrick fe]t
those checks should be turned over to the Poiice Dept.
_ _ _.
PARKS & RECREATION COhU1IS5I0N MEETING AUGUSI' 20 1984 PAGE 4
Mr. Young stated that, having just been involved in a tournament that
past weekend, he was sure the City put in an equai amount of effort to
get those fields and facilities in shape for Mr. Wajda's tournament as
they did for the Jaycees' tournament. Seeing the number of park employ-
ees doing work at the park, he felt Mr. Wajda was getting by very
reasonable at $250. The c�ntract does state there is a$100 fee plus
an administrative fee, and he felt $250 was a very fair fee to charge.
Mr. Allen stated he felt this was very much a situation of "being had".
Since Mr. Wajda did not take the time to ca11 or come to the meeting,
he felt they should take the next step, and that was to turn the checks
over to the Police Dept. Ne also felt it was a dangerous precedent to
set to let the word get out that anyone can get away with this kind of
thing with the City. They were talking about too much money, and too
much vaivable playing time for people.
Mr. Kondrick stated he egreed with Mr. Allen that setting a precedent was
a very good point, The City should make every effort to let people know
that the City is serious, and that fees are set for a reason.
Mr. P�elson stated he also agreed with the Comnissioners. Ne felt Mr. Wajda
was getting off easy with a Fee of $250. With the bad weather this
summer, a lot of valuable playing time was lost, and those fields could
have been used for make-up games, because it was a very good weekend.
Mr, Kirk stated that after this season, they will need to have some
discussion and some details worked out regard�ng tournament policy.
Mr. Young stated the Jaycees just held the largest tournament that has
ever been held at the community park. He stated there were many compli-
ments about the facility. There were a few minor complaints, but people
understood that the facility was only a year old and that in another year
the facility would be far better,
Mr. Young stated that because of the fact that they did have a 60-team,
double elimination tournament, that meant 119 games to be played, He
was always under the impression that all six fields were playable for
men's softball. He was surprised to find out that only four of the six
fields are usable for men's softball. So, because of the Parks & Recrea-
tion Dept, not allowing them to start games earlier than 9:00 a.m, and
because of the amount of games to be played, they found it necessary to
use Comnons Park and Locke Park. In light of this situation, he felt
that when the Comnission has their policy discussion, they should put
some serious thought into the maximum size tournament they want scheduled
at tf�e community park, especially if it is an all men's tournament.
Mr. Young stated that one question asked when they were setting up the
policy was how much money could an organization make with a weekend
tournament. He stated the Jaycees had no direct expenses as far as
umpires, buying softba115, trophies, etc. All those expenses were cavered
by the M.R,P.A., because the tournament was a Class B Minnesota Recreation and
PARKS & RECREA7ION COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 20 1984 PAGE 5
Parks Association Men's USSSA Tournament. They cleared approximately
$3,000 for the weekend. Almost half of that amount came fran a$1/person
admission fee charged at the gate. There vias a separate admission each
day. If it had not been for charging an admission, their total profit
would have been closer to $1,500. He stated he felt an organization
with a large tournament could probably make around $1,000-1,500.

Hr. McCarron stated that by lar they cannot refuse it.
Mr. ltcCarron stated that monies available to the city for any e2igible
abatement program could be from the state�s share of tigping fees
which iould be 50¢ per household. The city would be automatically
eligible if they submit any plan to the county so that the county
could vrite it into the master plan. Otherwise, the p2an would need
to be approved by the Metropolitan Council. The money rrould be given
on a payback basis as compensation for rork already done. The money
sould be available in January of 1986 for any work done in 1985.

N.r. A�cCarron stated that l�s. Bennett rould be a good resource to
consult with on any plan that *ould go to the Metropolitan Council.
N.s. Bennett stated that a good p2an of action for the city of Fridley
•ould be to start a program that •ould be eligible for the 50¢ per
household surcharge reimbursement.
Y.r. 1!cCarron stated that rithin Anoka County there are no municipali-
ties rith their otrn rellise collection system.
Ms. Bennett stated that a city can mahdate source separation. However,
she ras not aware of any clty in M.ianesota Lhat does.
[✓,s. Bennett stated that since the pnoka County abatement plan Nas
adopted, the Metropolitan Council has decided to poreue stronger
objectives such as, �+1. Make a policy decision that the Council
Fill not issue a certificate of need for landrilling (raw) mixed
solid raste.�� Which means that there rould have to be sovrce
separation or you would have to go to a processing center. The
only thing that can be landfilled is processed raste. This regu-
lation could be in place by 1990.
Ms. Bennett stated that city governments are less than enthusiastic
about mandatory source separatlon because oi the expense of contracting
rith many different haulers.
kr. Gr6nlund raised the question of how things Rill get done if the
county is not direcYing cities on some sort of timetable.
Nr. McCarron stated that the county has no legal authority to do so
and that steps takea by cities would be done through negotiation and
cooperation riLh the county�
Mr. Svaada stated that this fs how the easter pians are used and that
in order to get money, the plan iould have to be in conformance with

ot Fridley is that because they do nothing more than license their
haulers, there is not an incentive other than environmental.
Ms. Bennett stated that another dra�back is that there vould have to
be markets created.
Ms. Bennett stated that once Mr. Schiferl ras established he would
be visiting the communities in Anoka county to get iaput.
Ms. Metcalf asked if private individuals could set up some sort oY

ADMINIS7RATIVE STAFF REPORT
5900 Main Street PI.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED QY REQUIREMEPJT:
Section 205.18.3D.2 requires a setback of not less than twenty feet
between any building and side property Tines.
a
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide open space areas
around industria7 structures for aesthetic and firefighting purposes.
APPEALS COMM:55ION MEETIPIG, AUGUST 2S 1984 PAGE 2
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Need a side yard setback variance to allow the proposed addition to
line up witfi the current building as the production flow in manufac-
turing would be seriously impaired with a jog in the production line
and the 1ot is too narrow to economically set the addition back 20 feet
along the south si�e yard set�ack."
C. ADh1INISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
This will be an extension to the wall of the existing building. If
the Board recommends approval, it should be stipulated that the new
wall 6e a four-hour rated fire wall with protected openings,
Mr, Burch stated the petitioner plans to add a small addition to the back of
the building, and it makes sense to line up the building as proposed.
Mr, Jim Faulkner stated he was the architect who prepared the plans for
Gerald Johnson. Mr. Johnson was reques*.ing to continue on the new addition
in line with the existing buildin9 line, As stated in the Administrative
Staff Report, they need the side yard setback variance to allow the proposed
addition to line up with the current building in order to get the manufacturing
flow of the facility to work.
Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Faulkner to explain what he meant in terms of "manufac-
turing flow".
Mr. Faulkner stated Johnson Wood Products was a manufacturer of custom wood-
working for commercial, residential, and institutional buildings. Part of
their building plan was to add new machinery,new equipment, and redesign
their manufacturing process from the point wnere material comes in the build-
ing, goes through the building, and back out through the loading docks. To
make that manufacturing flow work, the products have to come in and go all the
way down a manufacturing line and then come back around. With a jog in the
building, it would cause a problem trying to bring the materials around and
then bring them back through. It was kind of standard in any manufacturing
process to want product lines to run straight through and make a loop, and
that was the reason for Mr. Johnson's request.
Ms. 6abe1 asked about the exterior of the proposed addition,
Mr. Faulkner stated the addition would be brick--the same material as the
rest of the building.
Mr. Plemel asked how wide the lot was next to the property on the south. He
was wondering if by granting this variance they wou'd be creating a hardship
for someone eventually building on the adjacent lot.
Ms, Gabel stated that, after looking at the aerial photo, it was just specu-
lation as to what wouid go on that lot. She stated there was a lot of room
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, AU6UST 28 1984 PAGE 3
on that lot. There are some existing problems, and by granting this variance,
she did not think they would make the problems any worse.
Mr. Barna asked if the south wall in the existing building was a 4-hour
rated wall.
Mr, Faulkner stated it was a 12-inch masonry wall, and under Uniform
Building Code, it does have a 4-hour classification up to about T5 ft. He
�ated this wall does have a door in it now to the boiler room. The tentative
plan was to take out that boiler room completely and block up the door, He
stated he thought the only hindrance on the 4-hour rating o7 the wall was the
fact that the door into the boiler room was probably just a 2-hour rated door.
If the door does not come out, it wi]1 be replaced with a 4-hour rated door.
MOTION BY MR. BARNR� SECONDED 8Y MS, GEROU� TO CIASE TNE PUBLIC XEARING.
UPO1J A V6ICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CHASRPERSOIJ GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HERRZNG CLOSED AT 7:55 P.M.
Mr. Barna stated he could see where setting back the addition 20 ft, would
disrupt the manufacturing flow. With no new construction to the south at
the present time and the fact that this was just extending an existing wall,
as long as all the fire ratin9s are met and there was cont�nuity with the
visual wall, he would have no objections to granting this variance.
Mr. Betzold stated that since the existing building was already in its
position and was probably closer to the lot line than it shou]d be, that
can't be changed. He stated he thought this demonstrated some of the problems
that can be created by allowing this type of construction to go too close to
the lot line, but as long as the situation was not being worsened and as long
as there was a demonstratable hardship for the manufacturing li�e, the variance
should probably be approved.
Ms. Gerou and P1r. Plemel agreed with Mr. Barna and Pir. Betzold.
Ms. Gabei stated she also agreed, She thought part of the hardship o�as the
existing building being located where it was, and that added to the pro6lem
of the flow of the product line. She would also be in favor of granting the
variance, but she would definitely like to see the Comnission add on a stipu-
lation that the door in the existing south wall be either upgraded to a 4-hour
rated door or be removed.

.�CARRZEI� UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Gabel stated this item would go to City Council on Sept. 24. She stated
the reason this would not go to the Gity Council meeting pn Sept. 10 was
because the normal procedure was for the Appeals Commission's minutes to go
through the Planning Commission before going to City Council.
Mr. Faulkner stated Mr. Johnson would really like to start construction
within the next couple of weeks. It would be very advantageous if this
item could go to the City Council on Sept. 10.
Ms, 6abe1 stated she believed the Appeals Commission had no problems with
this going directly to City Council on Sept. 10 and not going through the
Planning Comnission since the Planning Gomnission only receives the minutes;
however, it was not the normal procedure. She suggested Mr, Burch convey
to the City Manager that there was a time problem with this item, realizing
that fall and winter are not too far away. She stated Mr, faulkner should
call Mr. Burch to find out if this item was going to the Sept. 10 or Sept. 24
meeting.

HEARING OPEN AT 8:02 P.M.
Chairperson Gabel read the Administrative Staff Report:
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
5341 East River Road N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREME�dT:
Section 214.06.2A.2 restricts a real estate sign for a multiple develop-
ment to 50 square feet in area per development,
Public Purpose served by this requirement is to control visual pollution
and excessive use of signs in commercial areas,
B, STATED HARDSHIP:
"The River Road Business Center bounded by 51st Way and 54th Way on
East River Road offers a great potential for growth to local and
national business people who are able to learn of its location and
availability.
4P�EaLS r.nn!�I�SION MEETING. AUGUST 28. 1984
.
"Learning of the location and i*_s availability can be accomplished with
a sign readable from freeway 694 and East River Road. The sign must be
readable from these main thoroughfares and denote its large growth
potential.
"?he standard allowable signage will fall short of the need, thus we
request a variance."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The City Sign Code permits a temporary real estate sign of 50 square
feet when trying to lease a development of three or more potential
businesses. The owners of this property feel the largest tenant
potential would be from people traveling on Highway 694, and because
the setback from this highway is so far, it is necessary to erect a
larger sign. They feel a 300 square foot sign would provide the
necessary visibility.
The staff has no objections to the sign but feel that a time limit
should be placed on how long the sign can be displayed.
Mr. Burch stated this si9n would be the same size as a billboard. He stated
the request seemed reasonable as this was a large development. and they want
to get good exposure to East River Road and I-694. He stated Staff's
recommendation was to place a time limit on the sign or until the River Road
Business Center is 95� occupied, which has been recommended in the past.
The petitioner, Rene' Roberts stated the River Road Eusiness Center has
three whoTe blocks they are deveioping, and she was assuming they would be
marketing this at larger companies, maybe even sane national companies. So,
they have to have a large enough sign so people can really know who they are
and where they are located. She stated they did agree that the time limit
of about two years or until 95ro leased (whichever comes first} was a good idea.
Mr. Barna stated he personaliy could not picture a prospective tenant driving
down East River Road, seeing the billboard, and deciding he/she would like to
move his/her business here because it was a good location. He did not see
where the billboard roould actually help assist in renting or selling any of
these sites. It would seem likely that anyone looking for sites would work
through commercial or industrial real estate agents. He did not believe any
of the businesses already in this area or in any of the other industrial
development sites in the City of Fridley actually picked up their tenants
through billboard advertising.
Ms. Roberts stated that recently in another community ari advertising si9n
had fallen down, and one of the realtors they work v�ith had requested the
sign be fixed immediately because he stated that was where he got his leads.
So, apparently, some people do read signs and do use them. She stated that
since this was such a large development, they might be marketing in some of
the national magazines, and they might want to use the sign as a way of
directing people to the development.
APPEALS COPiMIS5I0N MEETING AUGUST 28 1984 PAGE 6
Mr. Barna stated that maybe what they are rea]ly lonking for was a sign for
site location identification rather than for potential customers.
Ms. Roberts stated she thought it could serve both purposes.
Mr. Barna stated he did not see where a sign this large would be necessary
for site identification, In the past 5-6 years, Fridley hasn't felt bill-
board advertising really gained that much for the community. They have bent
over backwards to help people with visible signage, but as far as large signs
tfiat are going to stand for a long period of time, people could just as well
rent the Naegele sign as far as East River Road traffic.
Ms. Gabel stated that Mr. Barna had made a good point. Several years a9o,
the City had a sign committee that did a long term study on signs. It a�as
found that the community does not care for the proliferation of billboards
at all, so the rules and codes are pretty strict in terms of billboards,
mostly to discourage billboards.
Ms. Gabel stated she had a 1979 MnDOT (Minnesota Dept, of Transportation)
report that showed there are a large number of traffic accidents on I-694
in that quarter of a mile area from East River Road back. In a 2-year time
frame, there were 306 accidents there. MnDOT did have plans to expand I-694
to a six-lane highway, but there have been some budgetary problems since then.
She stated she could not prove that signs cause accidents, but obviously
people who are reading si9ns on the freeway are not looking at the road.
Since she did know the traffic situation in that area has gotten worse, she
was reluctant to add any more billboards to the freeway that she felt was a
deterrant to motorists.
Mr. Barna asked how many 50 sq. ft, real estate signs would be allowed for a
development of this size.
Mr, Burch stated they would be allowed one 50 sq. ft, sign for each street
frontage.
Mr, Barna stated he would rather see them with 2-3 of the smaller 50 sq. ft.
development signs saying where the development is along East River Road,
and maybe one of the small development signs could still be visible from
I-694. A lot could be put on a 50 sq. ft, sign--at least so people would
know where the location was, and then maybe they could rent billboard space
in other locations along the route to the development.
Mr. Betzold stated he was very familiar with this area as he drove it twice
a day during rush hour. He stated the problem was that �ust before a person
gets to the intersection where it was proposed the sign be erected, the
freeway narrows down because of a railroad bridge that was very adequate when
the freeway used to be Highway 100, That railroad bridge is no longer adeq�ate
for an interstate freeway, but as a result of that narrowing, that is where
the bottleneck is created. It then becomes very treacherous, because just
when tfie sign would become visible, that is where the exi± to East River Road
suddenly appears. He did not think a sign at that location, at least the way
it was configured right now, would be very helpful.
APPEALS COMMISSIOW MEETING AUGUST 28 1984 PAGE 7
Ms. Gerou stated the_location for the sign was very bad. It was also too
large a sign to have up for a 2-year period.
Mr. Plemel stated he wondered how many people driving down the interstate
would decide all of a sudden to build a carpet store, for example, in a
certain place. Ordinarily, when you see this kind of sign, it just says,
"for sale" or "for lease" and the telephone num6er. He felt this sign was
more `or the real estate firm than for the development company. He was not
in favor of a sign that large.
Ms. Gabel stated the petitioner had two alternatives, The Appeals Comnission
could table this item in order to give Ms. Roberts an opportunity to go back
and talk to her clients and relay what the Appeals Commission saw as problems
with this sign in this location. This would then be discussed at their next
meeting on Sept. 18. Or, the Appeals Commission could act on this variance
as requested, and Ms. Roberts could plead her case at the City Council, who
could overrule the Appeals Cortmission's decision.
Ms. Roberts stated she would like the Appeals Comnission to give her a
recommendation as to aihat they could live with, and she would take this
recommendation back to her clients.
Ms. Gabel stated the Appeals Commission has had an ongoing concern about
billboards, particularly as they relate to traffic, and they weuld clearly
not want something that is going to have this kind of exposure to the freeway.
At this time, without a variance, the petitioner could put up one 50 sq. ft.
development sign for each street frontage.
The Appea7s Cor�mission members suggested some locations where the develop-
ment signs could be placed per city code.
Ms. Gabel explained to Ms. Roberts that if she wished to have the Appeals
Comnission table this item, this item would be on their agenda on Sept, 18.
At that :ime, Ms. Roberts could give her decision. If she has decided she
wants Yhis variance, the Appeals Commission will act on it. If she has
decided to go with the development signs per code, the variance request can
be withdrawn. Or, if Ms. Roberts should decide on something different that
would require other variances, then another publishing would be required.
Ms. Roberts agreed she would like this item tabled.

also if he feels that a 425 ppm reading is an appropriate danger
level.
D. Mr. Robinson will submit the following article to the Fridley
Newsletter:
"With the home heating season approaching, residents should be
aware of the problems which can be created by the build up of
carbon monoxide (CO) in the home. This problem most often
occurs in energy efPicient (air tight) homes rhich are burning
wood in a fireplace or xoodstove. The Fridley Energy Commission
is currently investigating the purchase of low cost CO detection
devices to aid city residents in detecting the presence of a
potentially dangerous situation. If interested in obtaining a
CO detection device, call City Planning Department at 571-3457."
MOTION The city of Fridley Energy Commission requests concurrence
•i'iFi a proposal to sponsor a CO monitoring prograa by initially
purchasing ]�0 inexpensive detection type devices. These devices
xill be made available by sale or give away Yo interested residents.
The costs of this program are not to exceed $25�.
M.r. Robinson stated that the commission needed aome kind of coordi-
nation if CO Was detected in homes.

30�. However, you must install 1, 2, and 3.
The commission decided to have the requirements put on the books
now. Mr. Robinson xill work on updating. The commission will
make a motion when exact wording is available.
Mr. Robinson stated that While he was checking into this code
change, a couple of interesting things came up:
A. The Home Energy Disclosure law is no longer in effect.
B. Minneapolis and Fridley are the only two municipalities that
have an agreement with the Department of Energy and Economic
Development to enforce their own energy standards.
C. There is $8,000-$10,000 per municipality available to fund a
part-time position to inspect properties. Mr. Robinson will
try to get more information on these funds.

A. MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY GRANT
MHFA money xill be available September 10. It consists of
$778,700 in the fiscal year 1985 for a rental rehabilitation
program. 50% of the total cost of eligible rehabilitation
(from $600-$15,000} sill be funded from grant money. Matching
flends must be obtained elsewhere.
Mr. Robinson stated that this grant money is of interest to this
committee because rental un3ts eould have to be brought up to
code before any other improvements could be made. He rill have
more details at upcoming meeting.

ING COMMISSION MEETING. SEPTEMBER 12. 1984 PAGE 3
Mr. Robinson stated this property was located on the northeast corner of
63rd Ave. and Nighway 65. The zoning was C-2. It was rezoned to C-2 in
1979, and in conjuction with the special use permit, there was an allowance
made for a garden center on the south end of the property. Since that time,
the owner has also stored boats on the north side of the property with
additional outside storage of canoes and boats. Staff felt there should be
a special use permit on this also as it was not covered in the original
conditions of the rezoning amd special use permit.
Mr, Robinson stated there has been some significant improvements to the
property since Mr. Holmer has taken over, but there are some additional
things Staff would like to see done with this special use permit:
1. Wooden fence around property in need of maintenance and staining
2. Provide a screened dumpster location with a solid wood fence
on all sides.
3. Mulch all planting beds
4. Plant vines on chain link fence �here possible.
5. Stripe parking lot.
6. Provide a timetable pertaining to the provision of finalized site plan
including parking lot setback, concrete curbing, and complete landscaping.
Mr. Scott Dahlquist stated he was at the meeting representing 5cott Holmer
who was called out of town. He stated that as far as any financial arrange-
ments or timetable, he was not able to speak for Mr. Holmer.
It was the Comnission's concensus to table this item until the next meeting
when Mr. Scott Holmer could be present in order to give Staff an opportunity
to discuss with him the stipulations recommended by Staff and to give the
Planning Commission members an opportunity to discuss Mr. Holmer's plans for
the property,

PLAN;4ING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 12 1984 PAGE 4
Mr. Robinson stated the property was located on the southwest corner of
Fairmont and East River Road. It was a vacant service station and was
zoned C-1. At this time, a special use permit was being requested because
a special use permit was required for fuel dispensing. Adjacent land use
consists of commercial to the north and single family housing on all other sides.
Mr. Robinson stated the vacant service station is in rather a grim state
of disrepair. The petitioners are going in with tne knowledge that there
are a significant number of code requirements. They have agreed to do
extensive landscaping along Fairmont and East River Road. M,a�or remodeling
is needed to the station itself for a commercial/retail "stop and shop"
type of outlet. The plans for the facade are preliminary with new siding
and new signage display on top.
Mr, Robinson stated Staff would reco�nend the following stipulations:
1.,_Applicant to work with the City on finaTization and approval of
landscape/site plan.
2. Test and/or replace all underground tanks.
3. Provide interior concrete curbing.
4. Extend fence along residential area on the south to east
property line (to be 4 ft. high in front yard, 6 ft, in
other yards)
5. Provide 17 ft, road easement along East River Road for possible
future use by the County.
6. Stripe parking lot.
7. Provide a$5,000 performance bond prior to issuance of building
permit.
Ms. Schnabel asked if the petitioners had any questions regarding the
above stipulations.
Ms. Patricia Holcomb stated she questioned the 17 ft. road easement since
this would run into existing islands on the property.
Mr. 3obinson stated it has been the City's policy to acquire easement in
conjunction with the County for possible widening of East River Road. This
was consistent with reques'ts of oiher businesses along East River Road.
Ms. Gabel asked about the hours of operation,
� Ms, Bernadette Benson stated they did not know what fwurs the store would be
open at this time, This cou7d be discussed with the City Gouncil, She
stated they had originally planned to be open from 6 a.m. to 12 p,m., but
were approached by some neighbors asking that they stay open 24 hrs, a day.
She stated they certainly would like the option of staying open 24 hrs. a day.
pLANNING COMMISSION �EETING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1984 PAGE 5
Ms. Schnabel stated that regarding lighting of the building and the property,
one of the Planning Commission's concerns was that the lighting not be
focused into adjacent property's homes.
Ms. Holcomb stated they have been looking at a type of lighting that shines
down onto the lawn rather than out into the street or adjacent properties.
She stated there is good screening of the homes of the adjoining properties
and there are streets on two sides of the property.
Ms. Schnabel asked if anyone in the audience would like to coriment about
this special use permit request.
Mr. Larry Miskowiec, 440 Ely 5t., stated that because this business would
increase the amount of traffic going in and out of the station, he was
concerned about the children getting off the school bus at the bus stop on
fairmont. He questioned whether there would be a need for a stoplight
because of this new business, He stated a lot of people try to make it in
t6e gas station business, and it was his concern that this business may not
go and the property would be vacant again. Nis last question was that if
this business was to remain open 24 hrs, a day, would this become a hang-out
for kids and video machines?
Ms. Holcomb stated she currently runs a store for a major oil company and
has been in the business for 18 years. She stated video games are the worst
thing they could put into a store like this. As far as it becoming a hang-out
for kids, there is no problem as long as they set the rules right away--that
this is a store and they are to go in and out. There will be no reason for
the kids to hang around, and they will make sure of that, because kids hanging
around a store is the worst thing they could have for a business.
Ms. Myrna Kostuch, 8027 Fairmont Circle, stated she would also be concerned
for the children who get off the bus on Fairmont Circle. She stated she
would like to present to the Commission two petitions with signatures of those
against this special use permit for the following reasons:
1. High traffic added to East River Road
2. More noise to the neighborhood
3. Currently two stores in the area now--do not need anymore
4. May need traffic lights to control traffic; therefore,
more tax dollars to be spent.
5. More chance of robberies and kid's hang-out
6. More litter in our neighborhood
7. Closing of the station at 8255 East River Road is an indication
that the support of the area ts not behind this type of operation.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 12 1984 PAGE 6
Ms. Kostuch stated that because of more people going in and out of this
new business, there would be more traffic criss-crossing East River Road
rather than going straight. She stated they have no trouble with what is
existing.
Ms. Holcomb stated the County is already reviewing the possibility of
putting lights at Fairmont and East River Road.
Mr. Robinson stated the City has talked to the County and has asked the
County to comment on the possibility of a traffic light. The County intends
to do traffic counts to see if this intersection warrants a light.
Mr. John Wright, 563 Ely St., stated he has lived in this area for 26 years.
He stated if the petitioners want to put in a gas station and convenience
store, it is not going to hurt the other stores in the area, because this
store will not have the room to carry as many goods as the other two stores.
He stated having a station open 24 hrs, a day with lights will help cut down
on crime. He did not think there would be any noise that would affect the
neighborhood, He felt this station would be an improvement to the City
of Fridley.
Mr, Fred Meinke stated he owned Meinke Foods just to the south on East River
Road. He was opposed to another store in a neighborhood where there were
already two stores. He asked about the underground tanks.
Ms. Holcomb stated the Fridley Fire Chief has approved their keeping the
tanks in the ground if they test out successfully. She stated two of the
three tanks are steel and have been in the ground a long time, so they have
chosen to take those out and replace them. They have had soil tests taken
to make sure there is no soil contamination in the soil, and those tests
have come back o.k. The other existing tank is fiberglass and is about 5
years old. If it tests out correctly, it will be left in the ground. If
not, it will be pulled out and replaced also.
Mr. Paul Beecroft stated t�e Commissioners had already received a copy of
his letter dated Sept. 6, 1984, in their agenda. He stated he was represent-
ing BASEnterprises, and was one of the owners of 8154 East River Road, which
was the Fridley Food Market. He stated he had nothing to do with the opera-
tion of the food store. He stated he would like to read his letter:
"In conjunction with your consideration of the special use permit,
#84-16, to allow a gasoline service and convenience store at 8100
East River Road, I ask that the following be addressed:
1. Traffic congestion has long been a problem on this
stretch of East River Road.
2. Gas stations generally create a high volume of traffic
and this will only increase the conqestion on this dangerous
piece of roadway.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 12 1984 PAGE 7
3. 7raveling north on East River Road, one encounters a
bend in the road at Liberty St. Traffic is normally
moving quite fast at this intersection and it is a
somewhat blind approach to the intersection at Fairmont
which is tfie proposed site.
4. During the evening rus6 hour traffic, it is almost
impossible to make a left hand turn onto East River Road
northbound from the west intersections of Glencoe,
Fairmont, and Liberty.
5. I 6elieve an indepth study should be made into the
feasibility of stop lights at the above three intersections
to determine the impact of the potential additional traffic
flow.
6. The appropriate safety steps to the elimination of road
hazards should be made rather than the compounding of the
problem.
Ms. Schnabel stated that with regard to the traffic light problem, this was
a Gounty road, and it was really a county traffic problem. It was not a
problem the City has any control over, even though some of the traffic is
ci.ty traffic. She stated it will be the County's decision whether or not a
traffic light is needed in this area.
Mr. Robinson stated a copy of Mr. Beecroft's letter was provided to the
County Engineering staff, and the City has asked the County for comments on
Mr. Beecroft's concerns.
Ms. Schnabel stated that hopefully these comments would be available for
the City Council meeting,
Mr. Oquist stated he appreciated the concerns expressed about the traffic,
but this new business was not going to bring traffic in from other areas.
It would be traffic that travels the road every day now. The only problem
it may cause is the traffic going into the store and getting back onto
East River Road.
Mr. Oquist stated that regarding the
not cross East River Road, so he did
6us actually helps to stop iraffic.
school bus situation, the children do
not see that as a problem. A school
Mr. Oquist stated he would like to know what the neighborhood would like to
see done with this property. It is a piece of property that is in bad
disrepair. It needs something. No single family homes will go in on that
site; and at some point, something has to be done with the property, so they
need to look at what would be the best use of the property to clean it up
and make it a useful piece of property.
Mr. Minton stated he thought the traffic question had to be focused. The
only difference in the traffic will be the traffic going in and out of
this location, but there will be the same number of cars,
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 12. 1984
PAGE 8
Mr. Robinson stated the property was zoned commercial, so a commercial enter-
prise could go in on the property without a special use permit. The special
use permit was for the fuel pumps.
Mr. Robinson stated there will be 15 parking stalls provided on the property,
which is more parking than is required by code.

Ms. Gabel asked how long it has been since a gas station was operated on
this property.
Ms. Holcomb stated Standard Oil closed the station in 1972, and there was a
10-year freeze on pumping gas at this location. However, somewhere during
that 10-year period someone did pump gas for a short period of time 6ecause
there was a relatively new underground tank.

8. ENGINEERING STAFF TO I�OOK AT THE INGRE5S AND EGRESS OF THE

Mr. Minton stated that many of the concerns raised by the neighbors were
valid, He was more concerned about the stop and go traffic and the congestion
that might cause. However, he was not convinced they should stop the
development of this property for that reason. He was also not convinced
about the argument over the school bus situation, noise, or some of the other
reasons, so he was urging the approval of this special use permit.
Ms. Schnabel stated she was concerned about the school bus stopping, but
not in relationship to this special use permit request, because those school
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 12 1984 PAGE 9
6uses already stop and t�e traffic is already there. These are existing
problems.
Ms. Schnabe7 stated that, as Mr. Robinson had pointed out, with the
exception of the gas pumps, this was a vTable commercial property that
could be developed in any number of ways. This was one particular plan
and one of the first plans they have had since this property was vacated
over 10 years ago. This seemed a viable use for the property, She felt
it would be helpful for the City Council if the Engineering staff would
look at the ingress and egress of the property to see if they have any
recommendations for traffic flow in and out of the property.

Ms. Schnabel stated in talking to someone in another community, a discussion
came up about the large satellite dishes that people in rural areas are putting
up for television reception. She did not know if the situation would ever
arise where people would want to put these dishes up in the metropolitan
area. She stated they certainly are an eyesore, and it may be something the
Community �eveiopment Corrrnission would want to look at in regard to having
something in the ordinance.
Mr. Saba stated these large satellite dishes will soon 6e outdated. There
is a lot of interest in roof-top mounting of smaller discs, KSTP will be
going into this, selling satellite TV, similar to Spectrum.
Mr. Oquist stated he definitely thought this was something the Community
Development Commission would like to look at. As Mr, Saba had mentioned,
if they are in fact going to start having some kind of smaller discs, the
City might want to look at this in advance because all of a sudden there
could be a lot of those discs on rooftops, and what would it do as far as
the aesthetics? He asked that Staff put this on the next Conttnission agenda
and give the Commission members a little raore information, if possible.

Commission met at the 8anfi1l Tavern and had a tour conducted by
Mary Beverage,a member of the Anoka County Historical Society. He
stated an article had appeared in the Mpls. Star & Tribune that week
so there were some other people who went an the tour who were
interested in the Banfill Tavern.
Mr. Minton stated after touring the building, one of the conclusions
he had come to was that the building was rapidly deteriorating, and
there are some huge holes in the boards that cover broken windows.
One ceiling has fallen in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The second
conclusion he had come to was that it was relatively a large building
with a lot of good potential.
Mr. hiinton stated that as a result of the article in the paper, they
have had at least three serious calls from people interested in having
their businesses located in tfie Banfil7 Tavern--two of these people
went on the tour and attended the Commission meeting. One woman was
very interested in a"bed and breakfast" type of establishment and would
also live there. Another person was interested in some kind of boutique
arrangement and would live there. The third inquiry was from an arts
society in the north suburban area located in the Apache Plaza shopping
center irrcerested in having an art gallery and art center in the
building.
Mr, Minton stated a man attended the Commission meeting who had
established a barbershop and home in an old school house in Brooklyn
Center. He was interested in looking at the Banfill Tavern for a
similar purpose.
Mr. Minton stated that right now, the Commission is looking at the
possibility of making recommendations which will probably give a number
of alternatives:
1. It could be financed by grants from the Minnesota Historical
Society.
2. It could be sold to a private individual who could take tax
advantages because it is a historical building and restore it.
3. A separate foundation could be established. The foundation
could accept contributions as well as grants for this purpose.
4. Or, there could be a lease-back arrangement with the County.
Mr. Minton stated the Commission wants to explore these various alter-
natives, formulate their recommendations with stipulations and bring
them before the Planning Commission and City Council before forwarding
them on to Anoka County for Anoka County to take the next step.
