PLANNING COMMISSION PoEETING, APRII 3, 1985 PAGE 2
Mr. Robinson stated this proposal was for a speciai use permit for a comnunity-
based mental health facility. This proposect facility will have 14 residents.
The location of the pr000sed facilitv is on the corner of 54th Ave. and 5th St.,
just south of I-694 and east af Highway 47, The zoning is R-3 multiple family.
The nearest R-1 toning is to the easY on 6th St.
Mr. Robinson stated the facility was a four-unit complex with four side-by-side
units, each having three levels. The lower level consisted of four garages,
laundry, utility, and storage. The main level or street level consisted of
living room, kitchen, and eating area--approximately 850 Sq. ft. of living
area per unit. City code requires there be a minimum of 650 sq. ft. of livinq
area for a two bedroom unit so this was in excess of that requirement. The
third level consisted of two bedrooms and one bathroom. Each of the bedrooms
has at least 120 sq. ft, which was signficant in that Lhe program requirement
for this tyve of facility calls for a minimum of 60 sq, ft. of usable bedroom
floor area per occupant. The petitioners are proposing two occupants per bedroom.
Mr. Robinson stated the building modifications �roposed will include cutting
doorways between each of the units to allow for program supervision. Of the
four kitchens, one would remain as a congregate dining area, the others would
be used as office space. Stoves, refrigerators, and sinks would be removed
from the other three kitchen areas.
Mr. Robinson stated that presently there are eight parking stalls--four qaraqes
and four hard surface areas. City code requires eiqht stalls so this does meet
code, Two stalls are required oer two bedroom unit. He stated the yard was
relatively smail and lacks visual appeal. It needed landscaping artd a passive
area development which woutd include a security fence.
Mr, Robinson stated the program will serve approximately 14 men and women, at
ieast 18 yrs. of age, with primary diagnosis of inental illness. Priarity will
be given to Anoka County residents. One of the key thoughts here is that the
facitity should be locaLed in the peonle's own county so they will be able to
maintain existing jobs, family ties, etc. The program category is Category 1
which entails intensive clinical treatment for the residents.
Mr. Robinson stated the screening process has been described as thorough to
ensure the ciients referred are of no danger to the neighborhood. The clients
have been described as withdrawn, insecure, lacking skills which would enable
them to have jobs successfully on their own. The concept is to mainstream
these individuals into tiving arrangements which would be more 9ndependent.
The typical duration of their stay would be 4 months - two years.
Mr. Robinson stated this facility wouid be licensed by the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Human Services as a Rule 36 facility. It would also be licensed by
the Minnesota Department of Health as a supervised living facility. Anoka
County will fund the program for approximately 55% of program costs. The
balance of 45% will be paid as room and board bv the residents.
Mr, Robinson stated the proposal does require a special use permit. Under
R-3 zoning code, convalescent fiomes are allowed in residential with a special
use permit.
PLANNING C(N�IMISSION MEETING, APRIL 3, 1985 PAGE 3
Mr, Robinson stated the proposed staffing for this facility would include an
administrator, program director, therapist, counselor, and a nurse. It would
include a living skills specialist, a retreation specialist. several mental
fiealth workers and a secretary. One of the key provisions of the Rule 35
program is that there would be 24 hr., 7 day a week supervision, 5ome one
would always be awake and someone woutd a7ways be on call.
Mr. Robinson stated it was also interesting to note the Minnesota State
involvement in this type of facility. Recently there has been a force to
decentralize the mental health facilities; in other words, to get them out of
the core cities and into the suburbs. Presently there are numerous mental health
facilities in the process of being establishedin other surburan locations.
Mr. Robinson stated the State has enacted special orovisions which inctude the
Minnesota Public We7fare Licensing Act which was passed to regulate the Provisio�s
of these services and to ensure proper care at these facilities. This A�': was
evide�ce af the fact that residential facilities of this type have been maJe a
matter of state concern in that municipalities are prohibited from imoosing
more restrictive conditions on them than are imposed on ather special uses,
unless necessary to protect the health and safety of the facility residents.
Mr, Robinson stated that in terms of the fridley special use permit, the special
use permit restriction was set up to allow reasonable amount of discretion in
determining t�e suitability of certain designated uses upon the general welfare,
health, and safety of tfie area, Although not explicitly allowed, this parti-
cular use is neither explicitly exciuded and,in general,falls under the cate-
gory of a convalescent home which is allowed in R-3 with a special use permit.
It was interesting to note that this type of facility would be allowed in C-2
or commercial zoning without a special use permit but would require a 20,OD0 sq.
ft. lot area. The proposed lot is slightly over 11,000 sq, ft.
Mr. Robi�son stated that in researching the facitity, he tatked to
Ms. Marge Wherley. Resident Program Consultant of the Hennepin County
Mental Heaith Division, who stated that of the 20+ mental h2alth facilities
in the Minneapolis area and the City of Minneapolis specifically, there have
been no incidents of assault by a resident on a neighbor. 5he also stated
they facilitate over 800 clients a year.
Mr. Robinson stated City Staff was recommending the following stipulations
if this special use permit is approved:
1. Operation to be reviewed annually with a public hearing for the
first two years.
2. Residents with automobiles be restricted to five or 1ess.
Rear yard to be fenced with six foot high solid wood fence. This
is to be completed prior to occupancy.
4, Petitioner to provide a landscaping nlan and install prior to
October 31, 1485.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN6, APRIL 3, T985 PAGE 4
5. Proposed Advisory Committee to inc]ude City representatives
(i.e, Human Resources Carmission member and/or police Special
Operati�ns Division staff}
Contingency plan be initiated with Unity Hospitat to cover any
emergencies.
7. Facflity will comply wSth a11 State and County rules and laws
and be fu17y licensed.
8. Facility will comply with local and State fire codes.
9. Client characteristics will be consistent with petit9oner's
contract with Anoka County (i.e. individuals wha do not exhibit
behavior that is harmful to themseives or others).
7he peiitioners were in the a�dience.
Ms. Diane OlTendick Wright stated she was the President of Community Options,
Ltd „ and the proposed owner of the building, She stated she would give a
brief review of how CommuniLy Options came to be in the Fridley area in terms
of the selection of this site and the type of process they went through in
getting the contract with Anoka County. She would also tel7 a little about
the needs assessment. She stated Ranae Nanson, also a Board member and
Secretary for Comnunity Options, the person who had met with the neighbors
and has done most of the community contact,would speak on items regarding
program characteristics, etc.
Ms. Wright stated she currently owns and onerates a facility in the City of
Brooklyn Lenter called Northwest Residence, She has been in residential
treatment for the last nine years and in social services for the past eleven
years. Her program that will be in Brooklyn Center as of Auril 19 (has been
in the City of Minneapolis) has been in operation for about l� years. She
stated she has a Master's De9ree in 5ocial Work, has been in mental health
for the last four years. Prior to that her residential experience was in
children's care and treatment.
Ms. Wright stated that in early January, Anoka County had a proposal (reauest
for services) that went out to vendors across the 5tate of Minnesota. It was
an open bidding process and seven vendors applied, of which Community Options
was one. They had to write a program proposal, budget recomnendations,
possibilities of sites, etc., and went through a pretty stringent review by
Anoka C�unty along with references and ora7 interviews.
Ms, Wright stated Community Options was selected as a potential vendor because
it was felt they most c]osely met the needs Anoka County wanted to address.
Anoka County did do a needs assessment that was quite comprehensive, and there
are a number of out-of-county placements because there is no Rule 36 in Anoka
County. 5he stated they currently have three Anoka County residents in North-
West Residence, so there is definitely a need. At this time, they are the
potential vendor, because the County does not act on their contract unt�] the
end of April.
PLANNING LOMhIS5I0N MEETINf, APRIL 3, 1485 PAGE 5
Ms. Wright stated they started looking for a site and had three real estate
agents working with them, They viewed and called about 15 sites throughout
Moka County. They had some pretty stiff standards. The facilit� had to be
easily accessible to public transportation, They needed 14 beds which did rule
out several other four-plexes. A factor in favor of this site was it offered
bedrooms on the second level from the living space which was ideal for their
programming, So, the proposed site has a lot of good potentials and also
it would require a minimal amount of remodeling which was important in starting
a program when funding was limited.
Ms. Wright stated they had ane neigfiborhood meeting last Thursday evenin�.
If things go as they hope,they will not close on the property until after they
have received all the permits and have received the contract from Anoka County.
They would then give the tenants notice to move and would have probably 2-3
weeks to do the necessary remodeling and tfien accept clients. This would
probably mean a timeframe of July or possibly the end of June.
Ms. Ranae Hanson stated sfie and Ms. Wright were partners in Communitv Options.
and she would be the administrator of the program. She stated she has started
and administered two programs with the Willows Convalescent Centers. She started
and administered �anus ?reatment Residence in Bloomington and Lhe March House
program in Minneapolis, The �anus Treatment Residence was the only long term
program in the suburbs. It has been in Bloomington for tFree years.
Ms. Hanson stated there will be 14 clients, both men and women, with mental
illness diagnosis. They will not be taking any people who are violent or
dangew us to others, who are assaultive, chemically dependent, or mentallv
retarded. Their clients will be people who are appropriate for conmunity place-
ment who can live in the comnunity without any problem, They are not people
who should be in the state hospital or conanunity hospital, Right now most of
these people are living in other Rule 36 residences outside Anoka County.
Some are living in private apartments or with parents. 5ome are also living
in foster homes. They witl get some referrals from community hospitals--
people who have experienced depressive or other kinds of episodes, are in the
hospital and then are stabilized and ready to go back into the cormunitv,
but would do better not going back to their families or into their own livinq
situations at first. She stated often clients from Anoka County do not want
to go into the central metropolitan areas because it is very frightenina to
them. The clients are often very vulnerable to assault and often they have
been victims of abuse in the past.
Ms. Hanson stated all the clients are in the program voluntarily and do have
to meet all the criteria, Once they are in the orogram, tfiey have a strong
independent living skills component that trains them in cooking, cleaning,
personal hygiene, transportation, budgeting, etc., depending on their
individual needs. There are group therapy and individual therapy sessions.
There is an educational vocational support proqram. Many ciients will be
getting GED's, going to other work or college programs, or training programs.
Hopefully, before they leave the program, they will be working or be in
volunteer placement. Alt residents have individual psychiatrists and social
workers working with them.
PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 3, 1985 PAGE 6
Ms, Hanson staYed the administration woutd be as follows:
Administrator - 1/2 time
Program Director - full time
Therapist - fu17 time
Counselor - full time
Nurse - 1/2 time
Secretary - 1/2 time
Ms. Hanson stated there will be 24 hr, coverage but none of the staff will
live there.
Ms. Hanson stated they wi11 have a contract with Anoka County that savs what
their client characteristics are to be and what their tarqet population is,
and thev are bound to that contract to accept those clients. Thev also have
the same criter4a placed on them by their Rule 36 license thev have with the
Minnesota Dept. of Human Services. They will get that ]icenseybefore they
start the operation, and it is reviewed annually. 7hey wi11 also have a super-
vised living facility license from the Minnesota Health Dent, which indicates
what type of clients they can take and governs suc� as aspects as food and
medications. 7�ey will be able to take clients who are on psychotronic
medications. The psychiatric nurse wi11 monitor the medications with the
residents.
Ms. 6abe1 asked that when there is minimal staff on weekends, are Lhe staff
trained in crisis intervention? Was there an emergency procedure?
Ms. Hanson stated all of their staff have to be trained in crisis intervention. She
stated that at most times, there will be two people in the facility. At niqht
from 11:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m., there will be only one nerson,but there is always
a Dack-up staff person �fith a beeper who is accessible and can come in, They
aiso have an agreement with the hospital for back-up care and wi11 utilize the
paramedics and police if the need arises.
Ms. Gabel asked about the history Northwest Residence has had in terms of
having to call the police.
Ms. wright stated that in the past 1; years, they have had the police on stte
only twice--on�e for a situation where a neighborhood person who was alcoholic
came on the premises, and one incident where a woman had heart palpitations
and thought she was having a heart attack. She stated they have not had to
ca]1 the police for any internal conflict. This was not to say that it could
not happen, but they have been very fortunate in preventing that.
Ms. Schnabel asked about the average age span of the clients.
Ms. Wright stated for this program they are anticipating clients from ages
18 - 35,
PLANNINC, CONalISSI�N MEE?INGLAPRIL 3� 1985 PAGE 7
Mr. Minton stated he had two questions: (1� Could they explain what other
suburban cities these kinds of facilities exist in or will exist in in the
near future; and (2) Were they given any information on the number of Anoka
County residents placed outside the County because of lack of this kind of
facility in P,noka County?
Ms. Hanson stated Janus Treatment Residence was in Bloomington. The others
are only getting started. Another Qrogram is coming into Bloomington, North-
west Residence is moving into Brooklyn Center, and others will be moving into
New Hope, Golden Yalley, and Eden Prairie. Uakota County and Washington County
are each getting a facility.
Ms. Wright stated that at the end of February 1984, there were 20 Rule 36
clients out of Anoka County. The average for 1983-84 was 22 clients; and at
any one time, the yearly average was figured at approximately 38 clients who
could be in need of Rule 36 program.
Ms. 5chnabel stated she was interested in a few statistics about Janus Treat-
ment Residence in terms of how many persons are in that facility and if there
have been any requests for police assistance.
Ms. Hanson stated Janus is still an existing program run by Willows Convalescent
Centers. It hr.s two four-ptex apartment units and has 24 residents. They have
less supervision tfw n this program will have. They have only one night staff
Qerson for both buildings and tfiat staff person sleeps. Otherwise, it was very
similar. The residents are aged 18 - 35. While she was there, the calls made
were probably one every 2-3 months for either an ambulance or police support,
and that was for both internal and external kinds of things. There were no
incidents involving anyone in the community.
Mr, Minton stated some of the objections he has heard is that the facility
proposed does not have adequate sized parking lot or yard. What was their
answer to that?
Ms. Hanson stated they would have liked a larger yard. They could not find
any p7ace in Anoka Couaty that was perfect, and this was the closest they
coutd get. They would like to have a fenced-in area so there was a piace for
a picnic. They wi11 have a program van so they will often go as a grouo to
other places. They think they will have adequate space for parking, Most of
the time, their residents cannot afford cars. At most, there will be six
staff at the site at one time. They wi11 have an internal policy that no one
will park in front of neighborhood houses, Because they have intensive
programning durin9 the day and most of the residents go to their fami9ies'
homes, most frequently there are not many visitors.
Ms. Hanson stated they had shown a video tape at the neighborhood meeting
entitled, "With Open Arms" made by the Mentat Health Advocate Coalition.
The first part nf the fitm was about residential treatment and had some scenes
from another residential Rule 36 facility. She stated they have had some
requests to show this video tape and it might be very.informative for both
Comnission members and the people in the audience.
Ms. Schnabel stated it would be appropriate to show this video tape at this
time.
PLANNING LOMMISSION MEETIN6, APRIL 3. 1985
PA6E B
Ms. Susan Lentz, 222 Grain Exchange Building, Mpis.. stated she was an
attorney with the Minnesota Me�tal Health Law Project. She was at the meeting
to speak on behalf of the Mentat Health Association of Minnesota which was an
affitiate of the National Mental Health Asssociation and was a state-wide
organization devoted to education and advocacy for and on behalf of inentally
tll people. 7he Mental Health Association did not ordinariiy endorse parti-
cular providers, but she was at the meeting to endorce the concept of this
Ru]e 36 facility in Anoka County and, specifically, in Fridtey, and to
encourage the Plannfng Commiss�on to support the special use permit being
considered at this meeting. She stated she h.s worked personally with both
Ms. Wright and Ms. Hanson and she fe]t they were indeed competent and were
professionals who could be relied on, who have done excellent jobs in other
facilities.
Ms, Lentz stated she has also been involved in the special use permit process
and litigation about i± in a number of cortrcnunities. She knew the Ptanning
Comnission realized their role was to consider whether the basic criteria for
a special use permit have been met and, if so, to grant the permit. She
stated they have already heard ample evidence about how this facility will
meet various state requirements, county requirements, and wi11 fit into the
neighborhood and will indeed benefit the neighborhood,
Ms. Lentz stated Mr. Robinson had spoken to some of the issues in terms of
state law. The State has set certain criteria that the decisions about allow-
ing residential facilities for certain kinds of disabled people are matters of
state concern. In this instance. if the criteria in the Citv's local ordinance
and the State Ru1e 36 criteria are being met, this facility is entitled to be
in this neighborhood,
Ms. Lentz stated the Planning Canmission was probably aware that this was a
matter that was litigated, and there was a decision by the Minnesota Board of
Appeals a few months ago involving the City of Brookly� Center. She was
involved in that case. In that case. the 6oard of Appeals noted that facilities
for the mentally ill are really a matter of state concern as long as it meets
state requirements, and one that should be allowed as long as the various
criteria in the City,or in terms of impact on the external environmeni,are
there.
Ms. Marge Otten, 5311 4th St., handed out to the Planning Gomnission members
pictures of the building so the Planning Commission members could see the size
of the yard and parking lot. She stated she was not opposed to a mental health
program for Anoka Lounty. That was not their purpose. They were at the meeting
to consider whether this buildi�g was the right building to be chosen for the
program, She stated she had been chosen by the neighborhood to read a letter
addressed to Community Options, ltd., from A1 Kordiak, Chairman of the Anoka
County Commissioners, dated March 22, 1985, in which Mr. Kardiak stated he
did not think "tfie decision to locate a facility at 54th and 5th St, was in
the best interest of either those to be served or those people who live in
the adjoining area". Mr. Kordiak gave his reasons for that statement, and
stated he was requesting the Mayor of Fridley, Ed Fitzpatrick, the Councilman
representing that district, and Robert Barnette, Councilman-at-Large to support
him "in requiring Comiwnity Options to select a site that was compatible with
the area and one that in fact wouid have comnunity support". Mr.Kordiak stated
he would De wfilling to help Comnunity Options select a more appropriate site.
PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 3, t985 PAGE 9
Ms. Schnabel stated the Planning Commission had received a copy of
Mr. Knrdiak's letter in their agenda information.
Ms. Rhonda Peterson, 515 54th Ave., stated she would like to add to the
Plannin9 Comnission's minutes a tetter she had received the tirevious meeting
from A1 Kordiak that was written from George Steiner� Oirector of Comnunitv
Nealth and Social 5ervices Dept. of Anoka County, to A1 Kordiak, dated
April 2, ]985.
Ms. Peterson stated she operated a group family ticensed day care facility
two blocks from the proposed site. There were nine Ticensed day �are �roviders
within a six block radius of the proposed site. 5he had a concern from the
parents of the children she takes care of. They are afraid for their children
and sane will pull their chitdren out of her day care facility if this Rule
36 facility goes in: 5he stated her livelihood was in jeopardy because of
this facility.
Ms. Peterson stated she was not against this program at a11, She was an LPN.
If there was a need for this in the comnunity, as there was a need for day
care, she was all for it, but she was opposed to a site so close to famity
day care and group family day care which would harm their business relationsfiips.
Ms. Peterson stated day care providers have to be above reoroach because of
their responsibility for the children and the children's care. She stated Lhe
day care providers respect and follow those rules, dnd she could not have the
added responsibility of knowing that two blocks away something could happen,
She has had her day care license for nine years.
Ms. Kathy Prieve, Anoka County Me�tal Health Advocates Coalition, stated she
had worked at Rise, Inc.. coordinating the mental health program in Anoka
County for the last 3; years. She was presently coordinating the proqram in
Hennepin County. While she was working in Anoka County with Anoka County
residents, other staff people noticed there were many people receivina tfieir
services but had no place to live. They had to live in either downtown St. Paul
or MinneapOlis, and some in St. Louis Park. She stated there are some people
in Fridley who are mentally ill and have a right to service in their own
community. They are your family, your neighbors, your friends.
Ms. Prieve stated they organized some consumers, professionals, and concerned
citizens and tried to advocate for change in Anoka County. Over the last
3� years, they have worked with County staff people, city people, and private
organizations, to improve the mental health services in the corrrnunity. Their
number one priority since May 1981 was to get a residential facility. They
have worked very hard for this, and they think Fridley is the best site. The
people of Fridley are very friendly, the community is �ice, and the transpor-
tation is excellent. This site was close to Rise, Inc., in Spring Lake Park,
Central Center for Family Resources in Blaine, and accessible to many medicai
services.
Ms. Toni Holcomb, 45 - 106th Ave., stated that every time she had to move,
she had to move into Minneapolis or St. Paul, She stated she had worked at
PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, APRII 3, 1985 PAGE 10
D.A,C. with little children, and no one was warried about her being with the
children.
Mr, Ray Lafave, 5375 5th St., stated t�ey have gone around the neighborhood
with a petition, and he would Tike to present this petition to the Planning
Corrmission, He stated the petition stated the following:
"We, the undersigned, petition tfie Fridley City Council and fridley
Planning Commission to deny the Special Use Permit requested by
Comnunity Options, Ltd.. for the purpose of using the 4-plex located
at 5378-5384 5th St. N.E.. Fridley as a mental health facility. we
believe this site is unsuitabte because:
1. The idea of having a business in a residential area is
undesirable.
2. There is fear for the safety of the many chitdren in the
area as well as the adults.
3. The potential for property values to go down.
4, It is a densely populated area due to the many muttip]e
dweTlings and more traffic is not needed in the neighborhood.
5, It would cause the loss of tenants to area landlords.
6. It wauld create parking problens in the area,
7. It has little or no yard area for patient use.
8. We believe a rtare suitabte location ca� be found elsewhere
in Anoka County.
9. It is close to busy traffic areas, such as 53rd Ave.,
University, and the freeway,"
Mr, Lafave stated they had a neighborhood meeting and a meeting with
Ms. Hanson, so they have been educated about this. He stated he would guess
aoproximately 90% of the neighbors within a three-block radius were against
this site far the reasons listed in the petition.
Mr. Lafave stated he owns a double bungalow. He ltves there and maintains
it and plans on raising his family there. He bought his building B', years
ago with the assumption that there was a multiple dwelling across the street
with four families. Now, there Nfill be more people in that building, Me
stated the people are leary of this program, whether it is prejudice or
ignorance, it did not matter. 7he neighborhood is not necessarily opoosed
to the facility, but they feel this is not the proper location for the facility.
The building is not adequate.
Mr, Lafave stated this is a struggling neighborhood, and many of the home-
owners are trying to keep their property values up. This faciiity will not
help them at all.
Mr. Lafave stated some of these peopie are self-destructtve. They feel th?s
will brin9 more chaos into the neighborhood. There will be more ambulances
in the neighborhood.
Mr. Lafave stated there are eigfit doors in the building, For security reasons
thPre is only going to be one person there at night to assure the neighborhoad
there will not be any problems. There was no comrrion hallwa,y in the building.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY,
Ms. Becky Fink, 1958 - 105th Ave „ Coon Rapids, stated she was the Director
of the AnokalMcKnight Community Health Support Program. She stated she would
like to speak about the need for community-based services. She stated
Community Options was very much solicited by the County and through a lot of
work by the Mental Health Consortium of Anoka County, which has a number of
family members, consumers, pOlity makers, providers, all of whom felt the
need for this service.
Ms, Fink stated that when they talk about the need for parents to be able to
choose day care sites, she would like to say that in the audience there are
family members as well whose children grew up to hdve mental health problems.
These are people living in this comnunity. As someone who has provided
comnunity-based services in the last five years, she has had the opportunity
as jo6 placement person for Rise to serve the very people they are talking
about here and help get jobs for them in the community.
Ms. Fink stated one of the roles of the Anoka/McKnight Foundation is to work
on community education, because they know that one in four or oae in five
are affected by mentat illness. She stated there were family rer�bers at this
meeting who would probably not testify that their grown adult children have
had to move out of the comnunitv because of the "mentally ill" stigma.
Ms. Fink stated she could understand the concer� about safety. They have been
operating community-based services in Anoka County for a number of years, and
there have not been any safety issues. In terms of ambulances, yes ambulances
can appear a number of different times at dnyone's home, nursing home, and
perhaps a Rule 36 residence. She hoped it was O.K. to call for that type of
service if people are in need of it.
Ms, Fink stated that having been involved in the last 1; years in tfiis service
they have worked so hard to bring to Anoka County, she wanted to say tfiey were
very confident in Community Options Ltd. Anoka County was certainly the last
metr000litan county to have its own residence. As someone very concerned about
mental ill services, if it has taken them this tong to get one here, they fully
intend to make this facility one of the best, if not the best, in the State of
Minnesota. She would appreciate the Planning Commission's support of this
special use permit.
Mr. Jim Nimlos, 625 Dover St., stated he lives just kitty corner fror� Roma Maloy,
who has a foster home for mentally ill adults. Ne stated he has lived for
2� years at this address, and he has witnessed a couole of ambulances coming to
Ms. Roma's home only because he happened to be looking out the window. The
ambulances have never caused any disruption to the neighborhood, He stated he
has an 8 month old son at home with his wife, and he has absolutely no fear
for himself, fiis wife, or his son in living close to the same type of people
who wouid stay at this Rule 36 facility,
PLANNING COMMI55I017 FIEETING,APRIL 3, 1985 PAf,E 12
Ms. Irene vasecka, 5427 4th 5t „ stated she had calted her insura�ce company
and was told her home insurance would go up if this faciiity was put in
operation, SF�e stated they, in the Third Ward, received no notices about
this specia] use permit request,
Ms. Linda Anderson, 5360 5th St., stated she was out getting petitions sfgned,
and she did not have one person turn her down. She felt this business was a
for-profit business, and it was being forced on them. They do not want it and
do not need it in this locaiion. There are too many chiidren in the
neigh6orhood.
Ms. Rona Maloy, 7995 Broad Ave., stated she was the foster provider mentioned
earlier. 5he stated that, yes, the ambulance has to be catled to her house
occasionally because she has an epileptic person who lives with her. A concern
she had was that Anoka County people have had to travel to Minneapolis and
5t. Paul. She has had girls in her home who have had to go to Minneapo7is or
St. Paul, and tt has actually torn them apart because they are away from their
friends, parents, and ti�eir cormunity. She stated they seldom get visitors.
She stated she also has a day care center across the street from her, and there
have never been any problems. In fact, some of her giris have been asked to
babysit chiTdren in the comnunity. She stated that in a facility like the
Rule 36 facility, the residents can get far more structured help than she is
a61e to provide in her home.
Mr. John LaBreche, 1381 Onondaga St., stated he has been a resident of Fridley
for nearly eight years. He was Co-Chair of the Anoka County Mental Heaith
Advocates Coalition. He was saeaking in favor of the special use permTt. He
was very interested in this issue because he suffers from mental illness. He
has been hospitaTized four times in the last ten years. On the other hand,
he has been employed for the last six years, has a wife, two small children,
and awns his own home.
Mr. LaBreche stated he wanted to taik about what he saw as the main issue here.
He stated the neighbors near this proposed residence are afraid of inentally
ill peopie, The question was: Is that fear reasonable or not? He stated
most people get their information about mental iliness from the 7V, mavies,
and newspapers. TV and movies portray mentally ill peoale as blood thirsty
killers. With this type of information, it was no wonder the general public
was afraid of the mentally ill. He stated this is not the true picture. He
stated that 60D,D00 peoole in Minnesota will need some tyoe of inental health
service this year, over 60,Q00 of those are chronically mentally i17, What
pe rcentage of these thousands are dangerous to others or property? He stated
tt is a very small percentage. Even if it is a small percentage, how do they
know that some of them might not slip thro�gh and be in this facility? He
stated the directors of this center wili reiy on psychiatrists and other
professionals in the fieid to screen out those people with violent histories.
There is no guarantee, but the track record of the otf�er facflities for these
people is clear. The probability of an incident at this facitity was quite
small.
Mr. LaBreche stated that from his own experience and his own illness, he did
not know if he could communicate to the people who have never been mentalty
ill how great the need was for such a residence in Anoka County. Ne stated
he was released from the Yets Haspital in Georgfa in July 1975. ,4t that time,
PLAF�NIN6 COMh1IS5I0N MEETING, APRIL 3, 1965 PAGE 13
there was no Rule 36 residence available to him. Ne was iso]ated and Cewildered
by his iilness and thought he would never have a normal life. He needed the
support of professionals, but rtare than that, he needed to be wfith others
ivith experiences 7ike his--a halfway point between the hospital and independence--
in the community close to normal people with normal ]ives, but with some
protection and support, Because he did not have this, he 4elieves his
recovery was delayed and his suffering increased. Ne stated he does live a
nornial life now as also many others do. The goal of this Rule 36 residential
treatment center is to help mentally ill persons achieve as nearly a normal
life as possible. The need is great, and he would urge the Planninq Comaission
to vote in favor of the special use permit.
Ms. Schnabel stated the P1a�ning Commission members also had a letter
Mr. LaBreche had written about his feelings on this subject and urging the
Planning Commission to vote favorably for the special use permit.
Ms. Sue Jenson, 5384 5th St., stated she lives in the building pr000sed for
this Rule 36 facility. Everyone is so concerned about these people having a
place to live, but what about her? She stated she is a single Darent with a
small son working 40 hrs, a week. She has found nice people in this neiqhbor-
hood, and she is very comfortable living here. She stated she has never had
any contact with mentally ill people and admitted she was very uneducated.
But, as a renter, if thts special use permit is approved, she would never
consider rentin9 from anyone in the nefghborho�d. She stated that as far as
the building, it is in very poor condition.
Ms. Nadine Phillips, 1427 Hennepin Ave. S., Minneapolis, stated her "label"
is chronically mentally ill. She was five years old when she had her first
nervous breakdown because of family problems and because in her family she
did not learn how to cope. She did not tearn what it meant to be angry and
not hurt herself, because everyone else was hurting her. So, she started
cutting herself, She stated she still has a probtem with cutting, but it is
not nearly as serious as it was, but it got to the point where she was cuttinq
fierself 4-5 times a day. Because she could see the pain on her arm, that �ain
meant that what was hurting inside made sense. She grew up never being able
to express any feelings so those feetings got stuffed inside.
Ms. Phillips stated later on she got married and had twin sons born with a
lung disease. The responsibility of her sons was totally on her, Her
marriage was one of an abusive situation. She got very depressed, put her
sons into foster care, and took an overdose. She was admitted to the hosnital
and was admitted to the psychiatric ward, In the psychiatric ward, after she
got out of intensive care, they 6egan to work with her. Ner hospitalization
lasted about eight months. She had shock treatments, numerous amounts of
medicine, and eventually they decided she should be committed to Anoka State
Hospital. Sane people froM Court Petitioning came and talked to her and asked
her if she had ever been through treatment. She stated she had not but just
wanted to get well and would give it a try, They recomnended to the courts
that she be sent to Janus Treatment Residence. When she got to Janus, she
was very withdrawn. She was scared, but more than anything else, she was
hurting, She was not desperate enough to run nut to a park and hurt little
cfiildren. No one she was in treatment with would hurt children.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 31 1985 PAGE 14
Ms. Phillips stated she stated one year and three months at Janus, and she
learned a 1ot about what she was all about. She learned it was O.K, to have
feelings a�d learned what her feelings were and how to express those feelings
positively. She doesn't have to hurt herself anymore.
Ms. Philiips stated she was the kind of individual they were considering
wf�ether or not should live in this cormunity. She stated she does not hurt
peop]e. Mainly the media has made them into "maniacs". The majority of the
population that is mentaily fll are not "maniacs".
Ms, Phillips stated that s{nce she got out of Janus about a year ago, she
has gotten her GED, has started college full-time studying physical therapy
at St. Mary's Jr. College, She stated it is a tough program, but she is making
it. She takes medications and goes to a psychiatrist two times a week, but
she is holding herself together and sf�e is verv proud of the accomplishments
she has made. She has a long way to go yet to feel good about herself, but
nonethe7ess, she is doing very vrel�, and she would not have had that chance
if it were not for a program like Janus Treatment Residence.
Mr. Michael Anderson, 5360 5th St,. stated there were very few people in this
room who were against people with mental illness and were not against any
program. It made him angry when people got up and said he did not care for
these people when he did care for people. He objected to the site for this
progran. He did not feel this was the right type of buiiding. Ne felt the
building should have a centrai hall so people can be monitored and get help
if they need it.
Mr. Anderson stated that when he grew up and went to school, he was taught
he was living in a democracy and the people who live in an area have a right
to govern the�elves and have a right to say what happens in their neighborhood.
Ms, Janet Nye, 2172 Portland Ave. S., �+inneapolis, stated she lives two do�rs
down from Senttnel House which was viewed on the video tape earlier in the
meeting. She stated she has never seen any agqressive activity on the part
of the residents who iive there. In fact, she has had some very pleasant
conversations with the people who live there. 7heir house is also the nicest
kept house on the block. She was in support of this program, and she felt
these people deserved a better chance to have a better life.
Mr. An¢y Haechrel, 5367 5th St., stated he was not against the mental health
facility either, but he felt this buiading was a bad place for it, because
of the children, parks in their neighborhood, and they are not accustomed to
this type of thing. It was a drastic change for the neighborhood.
Ms. Pat Sudiicki, 5380 6th St., stated she has lived at this address for 23
years. She could understand the need for the program, She sympathized with
the afflicted and their families. In their neighborhood, because of the
multiple dwellings, they have a high density population and parkinq is
already at a premium. She was concerned a6out the parking situation. She
was concerned about the fact that the buiiding would have eight doors. How
can the building be secure at night with onty one person on duty? She did
DLANNING CONMISSION hEETING, APRIL 3, 1985 PAGE 15
not think this was the best building for this program, and the neighborhood
did nat need the additional problems this type of facility would bring,
Mr. Ray Lafave, 5375 5th St., stated he wanted to emphasize to the people
in the audience, the Planning Comnission, and the City Council that they
were in sympathy with tfiose who suffered from mental illness. They were
3ust against the location of this faci]ity. He Has also a proponent for
government rrorking for the people and not the people having to listen to
the government. He stated the Planning Cortmission should not let the attorney
present in the audience intimidate their decision. He stated the neighbor-
hnod is willing to hire an attorney to look ir.to the legalities.
Ms, Nancy Jorgenson, 5730 Polk St „ stated she was President of the Anoka
Day Care Association. She had been contacted by several day care providers
in the area--there are nine within a six block area. The providers are
servicing between 50-75 families. These people, through ignorance or whatever,
are going to be necessarily or unnecessarily alarmed at what is happening in
fridley, There has been media coverage of this and there will be more.
Ms. Jorgenson read tfie letter from George Steiner, Oirector of the Anoka
County Lommunity Health & Sociat Services Dept., addressed to A1 Kordiak
dated April 2, 1985, in which Mr. Steiner stated Corrmunitv Qptions was
responsible for the setection of a site for the Rute 36 facility, and that
tfie County was not recommending a specific site for this facility. She stated
it was her understanding that the neighborhood had been told that this site
fiad already been approved by the Lounty. This is not the case.
Ms. Jorgenson stated she could not give her opinion as she was representinq
the Anoka County Day Care Association, and she has not talked to a11 nine of
the day care providers in this area. She has talked to three who are
definitely opposed to this facility for fear of the loss of business. Again,
they were looking at putting a commercial business in a residentiaT area.
The person with foster care and the day care providers also have businesses,
but those businesses are in their homes. She stated she Mas worked with
children with learning disabilfties and special disabitities. She has found
these children to be generally quite happy in the environment sfie provides.
She has also found that when they do become frustrated or angry, they do get
physical to themselves. Ner concern was that children will learn what they
live. The children in the neighborhood are going to learn by what is happening
around them, not that someone is necessarily going to physicatly harm them,
but some consideration should be given to the numbers of chitdren in this
neighborhood and not have a commercial business in this residential
ne�ghborhood.
Mr. Richard Byers, 5300 StFi St., stated he has lived at this address for
21 years. This proposed iacility was a cortmercial enterprise dispensina
medication for which they have to have licensed people, sa it was a hospital
in form; it was not a residential home. Whether the fear of inentally ill
people was founded or unfounded, it is still fear. There are some older
people in Lhe neighborhood who are not going to feel comfortable or safe in
tbeir bomes, They are not objecting to the program; they are objecting to
the location and the quality of the �roposed building for this purpose. The
building is not well constructed and is not in good condition.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN6, APRIL 3, T985 PAGE 16
Ms. Terry Buckeridge, 6365 5th St., stated her parents live on the block in
question. She grew up feeling this neighborhood was safe, She has a
daughter two years o1d. and she wauld feel unsafe bringing her daughter
over to her parents' home if this facility goes in, She was not opposed to
the program. If tfie people in question have sporadic mood swings and go
through stages where they are uncontroilable, how do the people in the
neighborhood know what these moods are going to be from one moment to the
next? There is r.o guarantee there. She grew up in this neighborhood. and
she felt it should be kept safe for the peop7e living there now and the
generations that grew up there.
Mr. Jerry Skaare, 538D 5th St., stated he lived in the buildinq in question.
He stated there was barely room for the eight parkina areas mentioned by
Mr. Robinson. From taiking to people in the neighborhood, he had not sensed
any resentment to the mentally ill. He believed a large percentage of the
people in the neigh6orhood have been tou'ched by mental illness in their families.
Ne has been. He just felt that if there were other options for the facility
in commercial zoning, 20,000 sq. ft, for 14 peop]e seemed to be more aporo-
priate than 11.000 sq. ft.
Mr, Skaare stated that as a resident, there is no front ,vard, and the back
yard is all parking lot. The building is in need of a lot of repairs, and
the parking lot needs to be replaced.
Ms. Marian Crandall, 5370 5th St., stated her back door iooks aver into the
parking lot c�here they anticipate putting up a privacy fence. With a fence,
she wtll open her back door and feel tike she is in prison. She stated she
has a family member who is mentally ilt, but there are other places for a
home for the mentatly ill than in a residential area. She was also concerned
agout the parking, especially in the winter time.
Mr. Roger Stene, 870 Pandora Dr.,stated he was a sinqle parent of a mentaily
ill son, He stated he would like to say something about mentally itl peonte.
Thr.re are a number of them who live riqht in his neighborhood, and he did not
think his neighbors even knew it. He stated his son lives with him because
there is a 1-5 year waiting list in Hennepin County for these types of residences.
These people are living artang Fridley people right now, and Lhey do not even
know it. He stated that regarding the driving and parking situation, if a person
lives in a Rule 36 facility, they usually get $36/month and a bus card. The
fear of the extra cars and traffic is comnletely unfounded. He stated in his
neighborhnod, the biggest prohlem is the harassment of the neighbors towards his
son, so his son spends ttast of his time inside. He stated it really hurt him
to hear these things being said about people like his son, and there has been
no place like this avaflable for his son, It was better for these people to
be living in controlled situations tike the facility pr000sed than to be just
walking the street when oarents are working and they are alone most of the time.
Ms. Susan Lentz stated she wanted to respond to some remarks that were made
with reference ta her. She stated she was sure the Planning Comnission would
6e consulting with their own legal counsel, and she was only there to point out
the view of the Mental Nealth Association, She would like to make a comnent
about the fact Lhat this is allegedly a commercial use. She quoted 5tate
PLAiJNIt16 CONMISSION FIEETIN6, APRIL 3, 1985 PA6E 17
Statute MS 245,812. Subd. 3, which stated: "Unless othervoise provided in any
municipal/county zoning regulation, a licensed residential facility serving
from 7 through 16 persons, or a licensed day care facilitv of children,
shall be considered a permitted multi-family residential use o4 propertv for
purposes of zoning."
Ms. Lentz stated that while she could understand the neighborhood's concerns,
she wanted to point out a tot of cnntradictory information: That this facility
was too close to traffic; that too muCh traffic would be created; that there is
not enough recreation and yet it is too close to the parks; that there is the
potential for property values to decline, vet numerous studies have been done
showing there is no decl{ne in property values• on the other hand it has
been said that this building was already in a�eteriorated condition and not
good for anyone tc live in, She would like to suggest that neighborhood
oppositian based on stereotypes was not a v�lid reason for denying the special
use permit. She would also tike to point out that persons with mental illness
are a protected class under the Human Rights Act and cannot be discrir�inated
against. 5he stated tf�ere was reference made by someone in the audience that
children learn from what they see. She would hope that chitdren would learn
tolerance from the example af a neighborhood that accep�s a 4'acility like this.
Mr. Don Lavin, 180 River Edge Way, stated he was the Program Director for
Rise, Inc. Rise, Inc., is a private, non-profit rehabilitation facility located
in Spring Lake Park, Rise provides job training and job placement assistance
for people with disabilities living in Anoka County and surrounding comnunities,
including Fridley. They have a very proud history of providing services,
employment, and job placement support for people with disabilities. They have
been serving Fridley for l4 years and have learned quite a bit about peoole
with disabitities includinq mental il]ness. They have learned it takes good
jo6 placeMent programs, good placement support� and activity with the business
community. It also takes stability in the individuals' personal lives and a
supportive healthv living environment. This is somethinq that has been lacking
in this county for some time. Rise supports tf�e development of this residence
and lo�ks forward to cooperating with them.
Ms. Darlene Rusch, 561 63rd A:�e., stated she was re�resenting the Social
Ministry of St. Williams Catholic Church with does su000rt this orogram in the
City of Fridley. Sfie would like to make the folto�ting comments: If not us,
who? If not here,tahere? If not now, khen? It has been stated that one out
of four people sufFer from mental illness. In a city of 30,000 people, she
would guess that people in this audience were either t�uched nersonally b,y
mental illness or would be at some point in their lives.
Ms. Rusch stated she did not believe peonle were born with me�tal illness. She
believed there was a chenicel imbalance in the brain so they cannot function
as well as "normal" people. She would venture to say that if they were qoinn
to house 14 diabetic people, there would not be nearly the opposition as there
was at this meeting. Sonehow, people can accept soneone as a diabetic, but
cannot accept a person who, through no fault of his/her own, is mentallv i11.
No one wants a facTlity like this in their neighborhood, near their thildren,
near their day care center, near their business or park, so where are these
people going to live? Fridley should be big enough to encompass all peoole.
PLANNING COMMISSION �EETING, APRIL 3, 1985 PAGE 18
5he grieved for the mentally ill and their families, and as a Christian, she
would offer them hope, and she hoped the City of Fr',dley would do the same.
Mr. Alan Swenson, 5353 4th St.. stated he owned the property directly behind
the building in question. He did not think this was the tvae of prooerty to
be used for this facility. He t6ought a much Detter site could be found.
There are many children in the area wfio often go unsupervised to and from the
ptayground down the block. He stated children can be very cruel unknowinqly,
and he thought a bad situation could evolve frrom this. He would recomnend
the Planning Commission deny the soecial use permit request.
Ms, Linda Keating ctated she worked for Rise, Inc., in Spring Lake Park. She
was a vocational training supervisor for the chronicalty mentally ill. She
worked with a case load of 20-25 people, 8 hours a day, 5 davs a week. She
stated these people come exclusively frpm Anoka County and vrould like to iive
in Anoka County. They are nice people, and she enjoys working with them.
They make good emp7oyees. She stated she has heard a lot of discussion from
the neiqhbors, and there are some legitimate concerns and legitimate fears,
and a lot of the neighbors are willing to admit they are uninformed on this
issue. She saw a lot of energy going into trying to keep that information
as far away as possible. She would ask them to put as much energy into
understanding mental ill�ess and what they should and shouldn't be afraid of,
what the program will and will not do, will and wf11 not permit.
Ms. Vicky Otis, 5378 5th St., stated she lived in the proposed building stte.
She stated she had not been aware of this proposal earlier; and now if Lhis
special use permit is approved, four families wil] be disp7aced.
Ms. Schnabel stated she would now like to give the petitioners an oo�ortun5ty
to respond to concerns and questivns.
Ms. Diane Wright stated she did write down some of the comnents�and questions
and would try to respond to these. She stated this would not be a locked
faci7ity. Whether there are six or eight doors would make no difference.
Their concern was not on having constant visual contact with the clients.
They wilt not have clients in their facility who need one-on-one supervision.
They rely mostiy on peer support; in fact, in a good treatment center, a lot
of the treatment is done by the peers and not always exclusively by the treat-
ment staff.
Ms. Wright stated the visual aspects of the property are not of a major concern
to them 6ecause there are several things thev need to do to bring it up to
code. They picked the property for the reasons mentioned earlier in the meetinq.
Ms, Wrtght stated they are a business and wili conduct themse]ves as a
business; Lhat is a quality they have. However, this will be Yhe clients'
residential home. even though for her and Ms. Hanson it is a business. She
stated it was important to take the perspective of the residents who wi11
be living there. These people deserve to be in a community-based facility in
a residential area. Having the facility in a commercial area would not make
it community-based care.
PLANNING COHMISSI�IJ MEETINGiAPRIL 3, 1985 PAGE 19
Ms. Wright stated a concern expressed was the explosive nature of the clients.
6enerally speaking, clients are not explosive at a whim. Usually when a
client is starting to decompensate, the treatment staff have been aware of
the synptoms over d long period of time, and they can do a lot of preventative
things to prevent that episode from occurring. They cannot guarantee a crisis
will never happen, but their staff are well trained in noticing symotoms. That
is a key part of the pro9ram.
Ms. Wright stated that as far as parking, it has been their history that maybe
one or two clients might have a car, Most of these people live on 535-40Jmonth.
At any one time, they will probably only have four staff inembers at the residence
and up to six at the most for a special meeting,
Ms. Wright stated that as far as the concern about parents and day care centers,
she would recommend that rather than the day care providers trying to do the
education that the parents be encouraged to visit their facilities. They would
be happy to educate the parents that have concerns.
Mr. Saba asked Ms. Wright to describe the make-ua of the{r Comnunity Advisory
Council and what kind of authority they would have over this facility.
Ms. Wright stated the advisory council was required by state 1aw and requires
that members cone from a mix of tfie community. For example, Northwest Residence
has a consumer� a parent, a county social worker, three neighborhood repre-
sentatives,including a city official. Occasionally, they can get a Dsychiatrist
or a lawyer on the counc:l. She stated the authority of the council is not the
same as a board of directors, but they have the authoritv to give advice to
the program and to the Board of Directors. In her situation, they serve as
a grievance panel for her staff and clients. The council has fu11 access to
statistics, fi�ancial data, licensing information, etc. She would assume
Ms. Hanson would run this program in the same way.
Ms. Nanson stated they would like to have neighborhood volunteers on the
council. If there was a large enough group, it would also be nice to have a
separate neighborhood advisory board, as w�l} as neighborhood representation
on the advisory council, because they feel it is particularly imnortant to have
good relationships with the neighborhood, It has been their experience that
there is always neighborhood opposition, but fortunately the neighbors becnme
their friends later. She felt this would happe� here a15o.
Ms. Hanson stated there would be no sign on the outside of the building.
Again, they looked at a lot of buildings and this best fit their needs. It
also meets all state requirements.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 3 1985 PAGE 20
Mr. Oquist stated it was not apparent to him that the buildinq was adequate,
but it was adequate by state code. They have heard often that this is not
the right site, but he was not sure what the right site really was, and how
do they choose the right site? He thought there were times when they, as
a City, have to look at tfie xhole and not an isolated area and feel mavbe
this is something they have to be responsibie far,
Mr. Oquist stated that in reading over the information, he was not sure they
could deny this special use permit based on an interpretation of State law
which reads: "Rather, it must be read to permit municipalities to impose
only special health and safety standards appropriate to the characteristics
of a particular site...The grant of authority does not permit municipalities
to establish special regulations concerning the general welfare of inentally
ii1 adults and thus is not a basis for a special occupancy requirement."
MS 245.812).
Mr. Oquist stated there was another statement regarding the court case between
Northwest Residence, Inv. vs Citv of Brooklyn Center which stated: "The
Court of Appeals re,7ected each of these contentions upon a determination that
the alleged probTems would not be any greater u�der the proposed use than they
would be under uses already permitted by the ordinance."
Mr. Oquist stated the contentions talked about were parking problems, traffic
hazards, inadequate recreational facilities, a diminution of enjoyment of
adjacent oroperty, that the use was a greater intensiFication of a nrevious
non-conforming use. and the structure was not designed to occupy 18 individuais.
Mr. Oquist stated that from a 1ega1 standpoint, he did �ot think they could
prove a reai safety-type hazard, so he would have to vote in favor of the
special use permit.
Mr. Saba stated they talk about the people not having a voice. The state
statutes that the city is bound by are passed by sLate legislators, and people
often ignore what happens at the state legislature and then complain when they
have to 7ive by those state statutes. He stated they have to abide by this
state statute; however, they can impose stipulations on a special use permit.
Ms. Schnabel stated that on the basis of the court case in Brooklyn Center,
the P]anning Comnission must be very careful in their decision. They need
sone pretty substantial concrete reasons for denial.
Mr. Minton stated he would also like to express appreciation to the two
people who have exoerienced mental illness and the father with the mentallv
ill son for sharing their experiences with those present. He stated he felt
that took a lot of courage, because this is a very emotionally-charged meeting.
He stated all the residents from the neighborhood have been very careful to
note that they are not against the program for the mentally ill, are not
against the mentally ill, and felt this kind of program should be somewhere
even if it is not in their neighborhood, He fe7t the objections they have
heard are objections Lhey would find in any neighborhood in Anoka County.
7hey are legitimate objections. There are fears. Maybe the fears are
PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 3, 1985 PAGE 21
unfounded, but as one gentlement said, founded or unfounded� they are still
fears. He stated he felt the Planning Commission has to go beyond these
ktnds of interests, because they are representing an element of government--
the city 9overnment. They have to go beyond the interests of onlv a neighbor-
fiood, They have to consider the interests of the entire community, and
sometimes they have to think even broader than that.
Mr. Minton stated they are talking about a stigma. This country has dealt
with stigmas of various kinds very well over the past 25 years, and the only
wa:e to address a stigma is to deal with it and not perpetuate it, Based on
that, he would have to vote in favor of the special use permit.
Mr, Minton stated it appeared to him that �his was a quality program. He felt
the fact that it �as a private business was a very positive element, Ne would
much rather have this done by contract than by government. He felt many of
the fears expressed can be dissipated over time, and it was important to give
this program time. He stated that as one person had mentioned, there are
numerous studies that indicate that property values do not go down, and he felt
they had to give this facility a chance.
Ms. Gabel stated Mr. Minton had expressed her sentiments very well. She felt
they have some social responsibilities, and it is time for them to take a look
at those responsibilities. Thay are talking about some very vulnerabte peonle
with special needs that can be met in this community without causing any harm
to the health, safety, and welfare of the remainder of the community. She
stated the fears are obviously real, but she thought the people could learn
to deal with those fear.s. 5he would be in favor of the special use permit.
Mr. Nielsen stated he was in agree+aent and would vote in favor of the snecial
use permit.
Mr. Kondrick stated he was also in agreement with what was said. He realized
it was hard for the people in the neighborhood to accept this, but he could
not find a reasonable reason ta deny the special use permit request.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED TNE PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 3I:30 P.M,
Mr, Robinson stated this property was located south of West Nbore Lake Drive
and west of Highway 65. The petitioner was reauesting a rezoning from R-1,
R-3,a�d C-1 to C-2. This area was part of a city approved Redevelopment
District and, as such, was under consideration from time to time by the HRA
for development proposals. The City has been working with road improvements;
and if this rezaning is approved, the City would require sor�e right of way
to improve the road system in this area. In addition, they would be improvin9
the turning tanes in that area. The City is in the process of having finat
working drawings done for this improvement.
Mr, Robinson stated Staff was recommending the following st9pulations:
1. Petitioner to provide the City the necessary right-of-way to
make proposed street improvements; to include 7and for inter-
section improvements, cul-de-sac and 60 foot right-df-way for
road construction.
2. Outiat 5 shall remain R-1; not to be included in rezoni�g.
3, final approval of this rezoning sha11 be contingent upon anProvai
of a site plan and plat consistent with plans and goals in the
development district.
PLANNIN6 CfM1MISSION �EETING APRIL 3 1985 PAGE 23
Mr. Bill Crouch stated he was Lhe attorney for Gerald Johnson. Mr. Johnson
was also in the audience. He stated Mr. Johnson purchased this parcel in
1458. This property currently contains three separate zoning classifications,
the vast majority of it being R-1, He stated they are requesting a rezoning
to C-2, They have no proposed site plan for review and no hidden agenda at
this time, Last week Mr. Johnson listed the propertv with a cortmercfal real
estate 6roker to seek developers andjor buyers for the property.
Mr. �rouch stated that when Mr. and Mrs, Johnson first addressed the idea
earlier this year of having the property rezoned, it was recommended by the
City that they seek out tfie nearest residents affected by the potentiai
rezoning, They selected 11 homes and property sites, seven on Jackson St.
and four on West Moore Lake Drive, These properties were the most directly
affected, ln late �anuary and early february, Mr, Johnson personallv contacted
the owners of these properties. He stated all 11 of these prooerty owners
has signed the following petition:
"14y signature on this Fetition indicates to the CiYy of Fridley that
I have met with GERALD G, JOHNSON and have reviewed with him a plat
and an aerial photograph of the above described premises, and that I
have no objection to Mr. Johnson's efforts to have the above-referenced
property rezoned from R-1 and R-3 to C-2 general business district."
MOTION EY MR, NIELSEN, SECONDED BY NS. GABEL, TO RECEIVE PETITION xo. 7-�9$5
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTZNG AYE, CNAIRWOMAIv SCXNABEL DECLARED THE HOTZOn'
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Crouch stated he understood there were a number of things that could be
located on this piece of property: a hotel, motel, restaurant, office buildino.
But, again, they did not k�ow what a developer would want to do with the
property.
Mr, Crouch stated that Mr, and Mrs. Johnson have owned the property for about
26 years and to date with the predominate residential zoning. thev have been
unable to do anything with the site. His speculation was that peoDle who
might 6e interested in this site would reco9nize it as a likely commercial
candidate because of its location, He stated he had read the Citv's Compre-
hensive P1an for the 1980's, and it made reference to the highwav interchange
and this section in particular. It says this property should possibly be
commercial zoning. Ne stated he and his client feel this property should be
zoned coirenercial and that hopefully a devetooer and buyer wi1] find a use for
it that will benefit the entire City of fridley and its residents.
Ms. Kay Ingebrigtsen, 581] West Moore Lake Drive, stated she questioned why
this property should be considered a good piece of cortenercial property when
there are access problems there already.
Mr. Jesse Winter, 5861 West Moore Lake Drive, stated the rezoning of this
property to comnercial could only create a greater congesticn of traffic than
they already have. There are small children in the area, and he objected to
the rezoning request.
RLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 3, 1985 PAGE 24
Ms. Sadie Gunderson, 5707 West Moore Lake Drive, stated she lived right across
the street from this property. If this property was rezoned� was there the
possibility her property would go commercial as she understood Mr, Johnson
wanted to buy it.
�'�►• Crouch stated they are not convinced the proposed road layout is the best
for this site, and have considered having someone, either Mr. Johnson or the
City, possibly acquire homes so the cross street to West Moore Lake Drive
could be leveled out. That possibility was a long way from being resolved,
and they have no intention at this time of doing that.
Mr, Nilliam Kell, 5675 Jackson St., stated his back yard abuts the Johnson
prooerty. He stated the use of the road through there was acceptable to most
of the residents. He stated he had signed the petition saying he was in favor
of the rezoning, but he would like to withdraw his name from the aetition
because at the t9me he signed, he did not have the information a6out the City
proposaing to cut a road through there. As a solid piece of prropertv, he
would be in favor of comnercial use only with a restricted speciai use permit,
not with a rezoning,
Mr, Ke71 stated he would like to see an adequate buffer zone of trees, shrubs,
trees, etc., between his property and Mr, Johnson's and Mr. Johnson signed a
paper to that effect. He stated a buffer would decrease the size of that
property considerably, and it might not be a viable piece of commercial property.
Ms. Schnabel stated that if the street goes through as proposed, artd with
adequate screening and setbacks, she also wondered if that would leave enough
property to be zoned and developed as comnercial.
Mr, Art Olson, 5771 West Moore Lake Drive, stated he was opposed to the
rezoning. The residents in this area have been inconvenienced for a long
time with traffic from the drive-in, high schoo), middle school, etc. He
did not tike the idea that they do not know what would go in on this propertv
if it was rezoned,
A resident Stdted the City was rpoposing something they did not know about
and that was the street reconfiguration. They were looking at the pro�osal
for rezoning this wf�ole area to C-2. Without a plan, he felt that pronosal
was premature, and he did not think the Planning Corrtnission should take any
action on this request at this time. He would oppose the rezoning.
Ms. Schnabel stated the only question before the Planning Gomnission was the
rezoning, not the street configuration,
Ms. Betty Papke, 5801 West Moore Lake Drive, stated the Planning Commission
would be acting irresponsibly to acceat this request without knowing what
would go onto that property after it was rezoned� and what impact that
development wouid have on the neighborhoad. She was opposed to the rezoning.
Mr, Ross Haidle. 5714 West Moore Lake Drive, stated that in light of the new
proposal by the City to put a buffer of homes in there, he would like to
withdraw his name from the petition. He signed the petition prior to knowing
a11 the information on what could possibly be done.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 3, 1485 PAGE 25
Mr. Joseph Fahey, 5719 West Moore Lake Drive, stated he also stg�ed the
petition and would like to withdraw his name. He could not be in favor of
a rezoning when there was no plan for property.
Mr, Uick Glumac, 5725 Quincy St „ stated he was strictly opposed to the
rezoning. The traffic was very bad now, and he did not like the idea of not
knowing what rrould go on either this property or the drive-in propertv.
Ms. Sadie Gunderson stated she would aiso like to withdraw her name from
the petition.
Ms. Gloria Hayes, 844 West Moore Lake Drive, stated she was opposed to the
rezoning because they have a lot of cortmercial traffic going through there
right now. Instead of the drive-in traffic taking the cut-out onto Highway
65, a 1ot of that traffic goes around West Moore lake Drive all the way to
Highway 65. If this property was rezoned cortmercial, they would have that
much more traffic.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr, Krouch a�d Mr. Johnson if they would like to respond
to these concerns.
Mr. Crouch stated his client, Mr. Johnson, would like to table this item
for 30-bC days in order to hopeFully answer some of the 4uestions and concerns
expressed by the neighborhood.

Dear Commissioner Rordiak:

Yoluntxr S�mps
Deveiov�+W ACn�evemx+[ Centers
This letter is :in request to your information about Anoka County's involvement
in the site selection process for a Rule 36 facility.
As you are avaree, the Community Aealth and Social Services Department is supporting
the need for a A:ule 36 facility in Anoka County. This support is based on
the needs detere❑ination canpleted during the past year. It identified the
need for a 19 Ded residence to serve Anoka County clients who are using facilities
outside of the county because of a lack of any in the county.
Through the Req�est foz Proposal process, Community Options was selected as
the vendor for the development of n Rule 36 facility. It is the intent of
this department t:o contract with them for the pzovision of residential services
to Anoka County citizens with mental health problems. The experience of Community
Options and theix� program philosophy were major factors in theiz selection.
It is the responsibility of Community Options to select a eite for the Aule
36 facility. The county will enter into a contract with them for the provision
of services once [hey have screened potenYial sites and decided on and secured
a location for th�e facility.
Tbe actval site location is determined by the vendor vho must request a conditional
use pezmit from t1�e municipality that the potential site is in. This process .
has to occur betwe�en Lhe vendor and the municipality. The county is not recommending
a apecific site far this facility. We have requested that it be located in
an area in *which public transportation is available because the majority of
the residents in the facility vill not have private transportation. Once the
aelection has been completed, the county vill contract with the vendor for
the provision of R�ule 36 services for Anoka Connty residents.
I hope this inform:ation will be helpful to you. If there are £urthez questions,
please call.
Sincerely,
eorge . Steiner

APPROVAL OF FEBRUARY 19, 1985, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY GQMMISSI�N MINUTES:
MOTION by Mr. Gronlund, seconded by Mr. Svanda, to approve the February 19,
1985, Environmental Quality Commission minutes as written.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Vice-Chairperson Wellan declared the motion
carried unanimously.
1. INTRODUCTION OF NEW SECRETARY FOR COMMISSION: LAVONN COOPER
Lavonn Cooper was introduced to the members of the corranittee as the new
cortmission secretary.
2. REVIEW OF DRAFT SPECIFICATIONS, CONTRACT AND BID FORMS FOR THE
PROPOSED FRIDLEY CURBSIDE PROGRAM
a. Propos"al for the Plans, Specifications, and Special Provisions
Mr. Svanda asked the purpose of paragraph 4, "(I) (We) further propose
to do all Extra Work which may be required to complete the proposed service,
at unit prices ..."; and Ms. Merriam indicated that this paragraph was
included to cover service for missed pick ups.
Mr. Svanda suggested that the time period in paragraph 5 be specified as
ten (10) working days so that there would be no confusion with calendar
days.
Mr. Svanda also suggested changing the date in the last paragraph to the
first day of July to provide sufficient time for all the work that
remained to be done.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISbION MEETING, MARCH 26, 1985 PAGE 2
8idding Requirements
Mr, frank questioned the need for a bidder's bond. He indicated that
several other municipalities have not required a bidder's bond and that
the City would not incur any loss of funds.
Ms. Merriam agreed to discuss the suggestion with staff.
c. Speciftcations
Susan Merriam distributed copies of draft Specifications for the
proposed curbside recycling program. The following areas were discussed:
1) Definitions. Mr. Frank discussed ways tn which residents could
ass�st the hauler inc7uding removing the tops and bottoms of tin
cans and flattening (it is not necessary to remove labels),
removing metal rings from glass containers, sorting glass by
color, and storing used oil in a plastic container with a screw-on
Cap.
The committee felt that these were good suggestions, but felt that
they would not need to be tncluded in the Specifications to the
haulers, but rather be included in publicity for the recycling
program.
Ms. Merriam indicated that they wanted to make recyclTng "easy"
in order to appeal to a]arge percentage of the households.
2) Contractor's Services & Responsibilities. The committee felt it
important to specify that the contractor include in the plan to the
City the "stated dates for pick up and solutions for missed
collections." Missed collections can become a problem for.both the
hauler and the City if not properly handled, and the method for
handling needs to be defined.
Mr. Frank questioned the collection on the day following a holiday
indicating that this is often the poorest time for participation.
Ne felt that providing service within a week of a holiday would be
sufficient.
Mr. Svanda suggested the use of a quarterly calendar rather than an
annual calendar. He further suggested that the calendar be
incorporated with the quarterly publicity for the program and that
this be included in the City newsletter. The hauler could provide
the schedule and the City could handle the printing and publicity.
The comnittee felt tha° the City newsletter would be the most
effective way to reach all the households in the City of Fridley.
The comnittee also agreed that the quarterly calendar would be
more likely to be saved and used than an annual calendar.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CaMMIS5I0N MEETING, MARCH 26, 1985 PAGE 3
The question of funding for publicity was raised. Mr. Merriam
indicated that funding was not a problem. Funds were available
from the MPCA for recycling, and the City �f Fridley has requested
funds from the County of Anoka who as yet have not responded to the
request. Ms. Merriam a75o informed the comnittee that a copy of
the request to the County had been forwarded to County Cottmissioner
Paul McCarron as a reminder.
3) Contractor's Equipment. Mr. Fra�k asked whether all vehicles were
required to be painted and marked identically. Ms. Merriam indicated
that vehicles shall be painted a�d/or marked the same.
Connie Metcalf questioned the need for radio dispatch vehicles.
She felt that questions or problems could be handled satisfactorily
tV�rough recorded telephone messages, Mr. Wellan felt the radio
dispatch should be left in the Specifications, but indicated that
bidders have the option of submitting an alternate bid waiving
certain conditions in the Specifications.
4) Contractor's Operations. Mr. Svanda questioned the need for at
least three years experience in the business of curbside recycling
collection and marketing. Experience would be reflected through
references. Mr. Wellan indicated that he would prefer to see a
minimum amount of experience required and suggested a minimum
requirement of one year's experience in the business of curbside
recycling collection and marketin9.
The commfttee decided to delete the requirement for office hours
since customer calls and complaints can be handled through the use
of a telephone recording device.
Several persons disagreed with the stated requirement for providing
service to those who have not received scheduled service. Connie
Metcalf stated that residents will place recycable materials out
after the scheduled time and the contractor should not be held
responsible for pick up under those circumstances. The committee
felt that a reasonable amount of time to provide service should be
established, and after discussion felt that two working days would
be satisfactory.
5) Public Awareness. Mr. "Jielsen inforrt�d the group that the Fridley
Lions had donated $50Q to the recycling program. �400 would be
used for signs and $100 would be used toward the newsletter.
Ms. Merriam showed the group an article on recycling that had
appeared on the front page of the Fridle Focus. She also indicated
thet additional coverage was being p anne , inc uding advertising
in the Fridley Focus.
The comnittee also discussed ways to get information to City
residents. Suggestions included inv�lving cortmunity groups such as
the Jaycees, boy scouts, etc. However, the City newsletter seems
to be the most effective method of reaching the most househalds.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COM�4I55ION MEETING, MARCN 26, 1985 PAGE 4
6) Preparation for Coilection. Mr. Svanda questioned the inc7usion of
paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2 in the specifications. Connie Metcalf said
that this information lets the Contractor know what is expected.
Meradie Selin also suggested that under certain circumstances the
Contractor shouid be allowed to refuse to pick up materials left at
curbside, such as large appliances, improperly packaged materials,
and trash.
7} puration of Contract.

specifications include

Ms. Merriam stated the duration of the
The committee recommended that the

8) Payment. Ms. Merriam indicated that the Contractor would receive
an initiai payment and payment based on a participation rate. Tfie
C�ty hopes in this manner to shorten the time of the subsidy and to
make the program self-sufficient.
9} Filing of Reports. Mr. Gronlund suggested that the monthly summary
of the quantity of each category of recyclable materials collected
be kept o� a month-by-month basis, but submitted on a quarteriy
basis along with the quarterly financial report. Ms. Merriam was
asked to review the suggestion with staff.
10) Access to Records. Ms. Merriam indicated that the City wishes to
have the option to review the Contractor's records. The manner in
which these records are kept will be left to the discretion of the
Contractor.
11) Insurance. Mr. Frank indicated that the insurance covera9e was
higher than that asked by some other cities and that premiums for
insurance were quite expensive for the hauler. Mr. Frank stated
that rated in Excelsior were $240,000 for general liaDility-one
person; $500,000 general liability-two or more persons; and $50,D00
for damages to property. Rates in Edina were $100,000; $500,000;
and $50,000 respectively.
12) Performance Bond. Mr. frank stated that he felt a bond was not
necessary and that no bond had been required in several other cities.
The committee had no changes on the remainder of the specifications.
d, Bid Sheets.
Ms. Merriam indicated that changes would be made on the bid sheet and
that any one wtth questions could give her a call.
ENVIRONMENTAL UALITY COhP1ISSI0N MEETING, MARCH 26, 1985 PAGE 5
3. DISCUSSION OF PUBLICITY FOR THE FRIDLEY CURBSIDE PROGRAM
Publicity was discussed as a part of the Specifications.
4. DISCUSSION OF NEIGHBORHOOD ENERGY WORKSHOP PROJECT COMMITTEE
f�. Merriam info rn�ed the committee that application had been made for a
$15,00� grant from the Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic
Development to fund an energy conservation program. These funds would
be used to conduct energy workshop programs.
5. OTHER BUSINESS:
a. Connie Metcalf asked if the City was planning to change the ordinance
regarding curbside recycling and also asked the City to consider
changing another ordinance to charge residents a"per can" fee for
refuse so that people would pay for the amount of trash they generated.
b. Susan Merriam distributed a memo regarding the weed harvestTng on the
west basin of Moore Lake and indicated that a public hearing on this
subject would be held on April 3, 1985. The proposal states that the
City would pay for the first weed harvest and subsequent costs would
be paid by the residents in the area being se wed.
c. Susan Merriam updated the co�nittee on the status of the complaint
regarding Industrial Spray Painting, Inc. The MPCA has scheduled an
inspection during the first week in April, and the County of Anoka
has been informed of the complaint.

1. DIRECTOR'S REPOR7:
a. Springbrook Nature Center Foundation Renort
Mr. Doyle Mullin stated he was the Chairperson of the Springbrook Nature
Center Foundation. He introduced the other Foundat{on members who were
also at the meeting.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING; APRIC 1, 1985 pAGE 2
Mr, Mullin stated that exactly ten years ago on April 1, ]975, the Citv
of Fridley signed a lease aqreement with Sprirtgbrook Nature Center
Foundation for the development of a nature cen±er at North Park. It was
a five year lease and the first requirement was to submit a plan for the
development of tfie park and to carry out that plan, At the end of the
five year lease, they had pretty much done what they had aqreed to do;
there was a great deal of development, traiis and programs. In conjunc-
tion with working wit� City Staff and elected officials of the City, they
had secured sufficient funds for the building of the interpretive center
at the park. In viewing wfiat their role was, thev eTected at that time to
write a letter to the City Council stating they thought it was more appro-
priate that the stewardship of the park be under the Citv, rather than
under a private grouo. They also suggested the lease not be renewed for
any additional funding for development, 6ut tfiey said they wouid continue
to be involved, interested, and available, and act as a conduit betw2en
the City, the Parks & Recreation Cqnmission, and ot�er citizens interested
in the park.
Mr. Mullin stated he thought they saw themselves in the role of citizen
activists with broad interests, but a single-minded purpose in their
involvement with the Nature Center.
Mr. Mu]lin stated that in talking about the uark, they can talk about it
in the abstract--that they really have to get down to the use of the park
in order to appreciate it. He stated the Commission members had received
a copy of the annual report� and he would like to reiterate a couple of
things in that report. For example, there were 50,000 visitations last vear.
figuring an average of about two hours per visitation, there were 100,000
hours spertt at tfie Nature Center. 7here were 400 different programs put
on by City Staff, 22,000 hrs, of participation time in those pro4rams,
There were people from 24 countries, 37 states, and many cities within
the State of Minnesota. While they were not there to manage or develop
a national park, they could be proud and pleased that there are fellow
citizens who view the Nature Center as such a significant place that when
they have visitors from foreign countries or other states, they want to
bring them to the Nature Center. The number of partic9pant hours in the
programs shows how well the citizens invo7ve themselves in the use of the
park,
Mr. Mullin stated that other than just the numbers using the park, there
is also the quatity of the park. Many people using the park experience
things which go beyond just simply becoming involved in plants and animals.
Mr. Mullin stated. he would like to comrnent briefly on the efficiency with
which the park is run. The Naturalist Department did an informal survey of
�all the nature centers in the metro area. Considering parks at least as
well developed as Fridley, they found tfiat 5pringbrook had a lower budget,
fewer people, more volunteers, more programs, more proqram hours, and
visitor hours than any other nature center in the area. That was a tribute
to Dr. Boudreau and his staff,
PARKS & RECREATIQN COMMTSSIOW MEETING; APRIC 1; 1985 PAGE 3
Mr. Mu11in stated that as far as the future of the park, he thought thev
could accept the fact that as the metropolitan area becomes more and more
developed, the need for green spaces is necessary. The 50,000 visitors
are about 6alf of what they think the park can handle, and thev feel they
will reach 100,000 in a few years. To handle that amount of people, they
need sane additiona] development, staff, and additional programning. He
tfwug�t t6ose things could be achieved as the City accepts its responsi-
bility. He thought they could also involve other conxnunities in those
funding requirements, if the City chooses to do so.
Mr. Mullin stated, again the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation would
like to offer tfieir Services to the Comrnission. They will continue
their activist role, to be available, and to be a conduit between the
City Council,�q�qssion, and citizens.
Ms. Schreiner• asked how many other nature centers there were in the seven-
county metropolitan area.
Mr. Mullin stated there were 10 nature centers including Springbrook
Nature Center.
Mr. Nelson asked Mr. Mullin what he meant when he said he felt they could
involve other communities in funding requirements for the nature center.
Mr. Mullin stated that before the lease agreement was even signed by the
City Council, they did receive and do f�ave in their files letters from the
four schoo) districts witE�in tfie 6oundaries of Fridlev saying they would
be hanpy to participate in some way in the funding of programning at the
nature center. It was not syecifically soelled out--wf�ether on a per
pupii basis, annual basis, or whatever, but they know the nearby communities
(Coon Rapids, Spring Lake Park) woutd be willing to particivate in some way.
He knew the City of Fridley had intergovernmental agreements in various
levels for fire protection, sewers, etc., and he would think such an agree-
ment could be reached for the Nature Center, particularty if they considered
a full time staff person who would deal only with curricula for the schools.
Right now the Nature Center staff has to turn down requests for programninq
from schools because there is not adequate staff time.
Ms. Schreiner stated it has always been her concern that as they continue
to fund from the Citv or whatever as a tax base that the Nature Center
does not have a wide enough tax base. This subject was brought up a couole
of years ago, and it has dlrtast been a"no no" that the City consider anv
type of charge, She could understand that because people would not stop
6y whenever they wanted to for fear of having to pay a fee. But, when
they considered the numbers tbat have been coming to the park from out of
the Fridley area and when it does take additional staff time for progra+�-
ming, an additional charqe should be considered. She wondered if the
idea of an additional charge for additional educational programs could be
pursued a little bit more.

PARKS E� RECREATION LOMhIISSION MEE7ING, APRIC 1; 1985 PAGE 4
Mr. Kondrick stated there are a lot of fantistic thinqs happening at
tfie Nature Center, and maybe more information such as this should be
disseminated to tfie citizens.
Mr, Mullin stated t6at last year tf�e Sprinqbrook Nature Center sponsored
a Fall Festival, and they dre going to do it again this fall. One feature
wiil be a"Uo7ks March", an internationa] activity that started in Germany
many years ago. They f�ave contacted tfie Hennepin County Volks March group.
who have agreed to host this Volks March at Springbrook Nature Center as
part of the Fa11 Festivai. He stated this is something the Citv might
want to publicize. The Fall Festival wilt be two days this year, because
the Vo1ks Marcf� has to be two days.
Ms. Kate Kerrtper stated the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation has had
some real concerns about the entrance fee. They had seriousl,v considered
this idea about 2-3 years ago. They did a little survey and discnvered
that many fathers were coming during the week with children and peeple
out of work wfio could not afford io come if they f�ad to pay for any kind
of tour of the Nature Center, Sf�e stated she felt that realiy renewed
a conviction that there should not be that kind of penalty for anyone want-
ing to come into the park and walk around,
Mr. Mu11in stated they support the concept of a fee for specific programs
that utilizes staff. Persona7ly, he would rather see them go to the school
districts for money up front so they could hire a person to develop the
progra�ning. He was afriad that with the level of staffing the City has
noti•�, they do not have time to develop a significant program that could be
sold ta the school districts--which was really the better way to go.
Mr. Ed Meyer stated he was very proud to be a part of the Springbrook
Nature Center Foundatfon 8oard. It was exciting to 6e able to come to
the Commission meeting to heip the Commission in any way better understand
what is going on and to help otf�er people understand what is going on at
the Nature Center. They hoqe the Commission would feel free to ask the
Springbrook Nature Center Foundation to do whatever they can to help the
Commission and the City.
Mr. Kondrick thanked the members of the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation
for coming to the meeting and sharing this information.
b. Sumner Fees
Mr. Kirk stated there were three fees they were bringing to the
Comission for approva7: Softball, Playgrounds, Tiny Tots. The proposed
fees were as follows:
Teams registered with the State -$285 ) approx. 10% increase
Fun League -$255 ) over last year
(Mr, Kirk reminded the Comnission that they do charge a$20 non-resident
fee that was instituted last year for people who do not live in the City
but participate in the recreational leagues.)
PARKS & RECREATION COMMiSSION MEETIN6, APRIL 1 1485 PAGE 5
Playgrounds -$21 up from �20 ; max, per family -�34 up from $32)
Tiny Tots -$16 �up from $15�; max, per family -$22 �up from $20)
Dr. Boudreau stated that because for years people had said they wanted
t� play two games a week, last year they went to two games a week for a
couple of the leagues. Because of this, games had to be scheduled at
9:45 - 11;:00 p,m. with lights, Many complaints were received about the
lights, noise, and cars. Informally, they took a survey of those nlaying
two nights a week �nd found that half of those teams did not want to play
twice a week. So, tfiis year tfiey are 6ack to one game a week, a�d the last
game on any of the fields at the park is scheduled to beg9n at 8:45 p.m.
The lights should be off and the park cleared by 10:00 p.m, He stated
this should help them publit relations-wise with the neighbors, and it will
help the concession workers and maintenance people.

Dr. Boudreau stated that in conjunction with this, he has received a
copy of a letter addres5ed to Mayor Nee from a group thaL is requesting
that the City Council waive the $600 softball tournament rental fee.
He stated the Commission spent a lot of time in establishing this fee
last year, and he w�uld recommend that the Commission recommend to the
City Council that the City Council not set a precedent 6y waiving the
$6d0 fee for any non-profit organfzatfon.
Mr. Kondrick stated the Comnission did spend a great deal of time in
setting this fee, and they set that fee for a number of reasons. They

Totino Grace High Schoal asking the City that if they construct a hockey
rink south of tF�e schooi and they maintain the rink, would the City supply
the water? He stated he has discussed this with John Flora, and Mr. Flora
said it was fine but there should be some type of ineter on the hydrant to
meter the water used by Totino Grace, and Totino �race should pay the Citv
for the water.
Dr. Boudreau stated he could meet with Mark Loahr, Head Hockey Coach,
who had written the request, to discuss this further. Dr. Boudreau stated
he wou7d like to suggest to Mr. Loahr that the rink be relocated across
the street at Faith Academy as that might be a better location to help the
City and the schooi.
PAP,KS & RECREATION COMPIISSION MEETING, APRIL 1; 1985 PA6E 7

Dr, Boudreau to meet with Mr, Loahr.

Dr. Boudreau stated tbe City has a lease with Burlington Nortfiern for
the small area off Main St, right across from Plymouth Park. He stated the
only things there are two soccer goals and a littte bit of playground
equipment. The area has not been used for three years, so he would
recommend they pu11 out tfie equipment and just not use the area, If tfie
area continues to not be used t�is year, then they will look at cancelling
the lease with Burlington Nortfiern for next year.
2, OLD BUSINESS:
a. Meadowland Park Improvements
Dr. Boudreau stated the Commissioners had received some information
regarding the Meadowlands Park Development Ptan.
Dr. Boudreau stated that for the Commission's information, the City was

UNANIFpUSLY.
1. INTRnrnirrmu �� t.,� .._.. .___
Maynard Nielsen, A1ex Barna and Walt Starwatt were introduced as the new
members of the Energy Project Cortmittee, and Lavonn Cooper was introduced
as the secretary,
Mr. Saba gave a brief overview of the Energy Cortmission and the reasons for
forming the Energy Project Committee. He also ind4cated that the Comnittee
woutd be in effect throughout the proposed energy program.
DISCUSSION OF D.E.E.D. GRANT APPLICATION:
Ms. Merriam indicated that the grant application contained a number of items
and the City may not be able to accomplish everything. Priorities will be
established and as may items as feasible wi11 be implemented.
Ms. 6ibson distributed copies of the bud9et and flow chart for the Fridley
Residential Energy Conservation Project (FRECP). The primary goal in the
first year is the House Doctor program which is for lo�v to moderate income
households. These persons apply for weatherization aid which is given on the
basis of income. A contractor then audits the home and adds caulk, weather-
stripping, insulation, etc. to meet a specified standard. This is done free
of charge to qualified homeowners. Minnegasco provides fu�ding for these visits
and the cost per home is approximately 5450. My money remaining from the
total funding from Minnegasco would be used to cover administrative costs.
ENERGY PROJECT COMJ�ITTEE MEETING APRIL 2, 1985 PAGE 2
Ms. Gibson indicated that the Neighborhood Energy Norkshops (NEW) would be
the second priority. She felt ft wise to have the first program working
smooth]y defore implementing a second program. The NEW's require staff and
training in order to conduct the workshops.
Mr. Merriam indicated that the staff at the City of Minneapolis had shown
an interest in training or assisting Fridley in conducting their NEW's, but
this has not been specificaliy Qefined. She aiso indicated that Richfield
had a 1ow parttcipation rate in both their ME►%'s and House Doctor programs;
Khich was partfally due to the method of publicizing the programs.
In order ta increase participation, Mr. Bondow recortmended first outlining
the requirements so that qualified persons apply and then verifying the
information just before final approval.
Ms. Merriam recommended that the NEW's be conducted similar to those
in the City of Minrteapo7is usirtq designated areas and involving the Block
Captains that were also invo)ved�in the curbside recycling program.
Mr. Saba felt that it would be difficult to get active participation from
the Block Captains. 7he idea may work however if we11 publicized �nd
positively approached.
M,s. Merriam indicated that Hastings, Minneapolis, Blaine and Motindsview have
siaff to conduct their own NEW's; however� in Frid]ey, the House Doctor
program would come first.
Mr. Saba asked if the House Doctor audit would affect the MECS audit done
by Minnegasco and NSP. Ms. Me�riam agreed to check into this further.
Ms. Gibson indicated that the NEW has a workshop during the week and one
on Saturday while the Nouse Doctor has only one workshop. The audit is
simiiar in both cases. At the seminar, those attending would be asked
to provide some information about the dwelling before the initial visit
so that Lhe person doing the House Doctor would have some inforniation
beforehand. Topits to be covered at the workshop include appliance efficiency,
reduction in energy use, and eoergy awareness. The House Doctor seminar
may be combined with the first NEW.
M►'. Saba questioned the availability of CD66 funds for the program and
requested that a representative from the Anoka County Corrmunity Action
Program (ACCAP) aitend a future meeting to provide information on what
they have done in the City of Fridley. Mr. Bondow also requested to know
how much money ACCAP spent per house in the City of Fridley.
Ms. Merriam indicated that a part of the grant includes the coliection of
data on what programs are aTready available to homeowners ir� Fridley. She
also indicated that CDBG funds are turned over to ACCAP for.weatherization
and rehab. Ms. Merriam agreed to bring to the next meeting the ACCAP monthly
report as submitted to the City Council and to contact ACCAP to obtain the
requested infornwtion.
ENERGY PROJECT COMMITTEE MEETING APRII 2 1965 PAGE 3
Ms. Merrian indicated that the Fridley Energy Program would include sint�le
family dwellings and aoartment building with 5 or more units to be assisted
in bringing up to the 1985 standards. Dwellings with 2-4 units are not included.
Mr: Saba requested that the rental properties that do not meet the 1985
standards be identified.
Ms. Merriam indicated that this would be difficult without sufficient staff.
The House Doctor and NEW programs will work with the larger units. However,
a proDlem exists in identifying 2-4 unit buildings needing to be brought up
to code. The House Doctor and NEW programs are geared toward low to moderate
income households, and it is difficult for sane owners of 2-4 unit buildings
to qualify under these income guidelines.
Mr. Nielsen stated that Columbia Neights has a program to identify these
buildings and that he would bring infortnation on that program to the next
meettng.
Ms. Gibson indicated that Minneapolis has a pilot program involving rental
units. Aga�n, a problem exists because the owner must fit into the income
guidelines. This program will be monitored for about one year to see how it
progresses before being implemented by the City of Fridley.
Ms. Merriam indicated that they had been advised not to start the House
Doctor program in the real low income areas. The reason behind this is
that experience is needed in addressing the "no►mal" problems before
addressing those areas having more than just energy problems.
For this reason, Ms. Gibson indicated that they would work more toward the
rtroderate income group first or those people who do not qualify for other
programs. Areas being considered first are the Hyde Park area and the
central core area. These areas have a large number of single family hnmes
and a large percentage of residents below the median income.
Mr. SaDa stressed the importance of having a reliable contractor doing the
work in the House Doctor program. Ms. Merriam stated that Minnegasco actually
chooses the contractor who will do the work.
Ms. Merriam indicated that volunteer time would be needed to assist in the
NEW's and in the education portion of tfie House Doctor yrogram. 6eneraily,
a workshop has three stations with a person present to provide information
and to answer questions about energy conservatian.
Mr. Saba recoim�ended the development of a video for each station to provide
an explanation of what was being done and then having a person present to
answer questions. In this manner all points would be consistently covered,
persons attending could ask questions, and less time would be required for
training. He suggested that someone currently giving the presentation be
filmed and a video be developed. Ms. Merriam will contact the local cable
TV Lo see if they would De willing to assist in such a project.
Ms. Merriam indicated that, at this time, the grant had received initial
approval and had been forwarded for final approval. The City should receive
a decision on the grant lvithin the next couple of weeks.
ENER6Y PROJECT COMMITTEE MEETIN6, APRIL 2, 1985 PAGE 4
3. DTHER BUSINESS:
a. Bikeway/Walkway Study
Mr. Saba referred to the February 26, 1985, minutes regarding the bikeway/
waTkway study and the money available from Amoco. R1s. Merriam indicated
that the D.E.E.D. grant includes funds from Amoco.
Mr. Saba suggested that, in addition to the bikeway/walkway study, the
City could do additional things to promote bike safety including better
identification of bikeways which could be accomplished by putting up
signs, adding bike racks to reduce the possibility of theft, and perhaps
a promotional gimmick such as naming the 6ikeways. Mr. Barna indicated
that the City does have a plan, but has not been able to implement it
due to a lack of funding.
b. Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development Letter
Ms. Merriam distributed a copy of a letter received at the end of Dtarch
from the Minnesota Department of Energy and fconomir Development
regarding several financing programs to assist businesses in promoting
energy projects. Ms. Merriam contacted Mr. Chodacki at FMC to let them
know about the program. 7he committee suggested contacting Medtronic
and Onan and other comnercial firms. Ms. Merriam asked the committee
to review the information and that this would be included as an agenda
item for the next meeting.
Mr. Saba also indicated that the cortanittee would like more information
on what FMC has done in the past several years in the area of energy
conservation. Ms. Merriam agreed to contact Mr. Chodacki for an update.

HUHAN RE$OURCES GOMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 4, 1985 PAGE 2
1. OLD BUSINESS:
a, Consideration of Disaster Preparedness
Mr. Turnbull stated the Commission members had received a copy of a memo
from Mr. Hill, Publio Safety Director, to Mr. Qureshi, City Manager,
dated March 27, 1985, which referred to a radio activation system whicfi
the City Council has approved for furtding and which they intend to implement
in the City.
Mr, Minton stated the Commission's main concern was that the equipment be
of such a nature that a11 peapie can be warned adequately of any kind of
disaster, whether naturat or manmade. They were kind of interested in a
voice system that would warn people of what was going on, if that was
economically feasible.
Mr, Turnbull stated he wou]d give an overview of the approach the City
was taking and the system they are looking at. Currently, in the City of
Fridley, they have a standard syst�n that is in use throughout the seven-
county metropoliian area--a system whereby eight sirens prrovide 100%
coverage for outdoor warning are activated by land 7ine or telephone line
system, There have been a significant number of problems over the last
2-3 years with this system, and those particular problems have basically
centered around the system not going off wfien it was supposed to qo off to
warn people and the system going off when there was no reason for it to go
off.
Mr, Turnbull stated there are three warning points in the metropoTitan area--
the 5tate Capitol, the State Highway Patrol, and the National '�eather
5ervice, The National Weather Service has been asked to get out of the
warning busir�ess. Fridley is the only area in the United States where the
National Weather Service actually flips the switch that turns on the sirens.
The National Weather Service's purpose is to ti+arn communities about the
weather, i.e „ give warning information and then have someone make the
determination when to thraw the switch to activate the warning systems.
Mr. Turnbull stated there were a variety of technical reasons why the
system has haG problems. For example, if there is a strong wind and the
telephone lines are down, then the signal that goes to the siren cannot
get there. There has been a significant concern on the part of people in
the metropolitan area that the telephone comaany is not maintai�ing land
lines at the level needed to be maintained, Part of the reason was that
Northwestern Bell was unable to assess an adequate charge to make a profit
to maintain the system. Unfortunately, they have chose� to maintain a
minimal level of maintenance.
Mr. Turnbull stated that because the system is getting older. the lack of
maintenance is beginning to take its toll, Along with that particular
problem is the power line probiem in that the siren system is powered by
power lines. If the power 7ines are down, there is no power to the sirens,
so even if the circuit from the telephone line gets there, there is no
power to actually make the siren work.
HUHAN RESOURCES CDMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 4, 1985 PAGE 3
Mr. Turnbull stated they are looking at a two-phase project:
Phase 1- To eliminate the failures due to telephone lines or
�Tie Td lines, and they have applied for and received a federal
grant, have now asked the City Council for matching funds, and
have convinced the County to put in some funding for this project.
They will locate at the County the central end coding equipment
and the radio transmitter to send a signal to each of the eight
siren sites in Fridley. There will be a radio on the pole that will
receive tfie signal and tell the siren to turn on. This wi11 have
a battery back-up so t�ey are avoiding the problem of the land line
and the probtem of the power. Implementation of this phase will be
soon, and they hope to have the radio control telemetry completed
by fall.
Phase 2� Basically determining what the reQlacement costs are for
e mec nical sirens and replacing those with electronic.
Implementation of this phase is yet to be clarified,
Mr. Turnbull stated they have been working with a metropolitan-wide groua
of emergency managers and the National Weather Service and, through this
group, have secured cooperation from the National Weather Service so they
wilt be sending out information about severe weather or hazardous materials
or manmade disasters over the National Weather 5ervice emergency radio,
Through a campaign of public awareness, they will try to promote peop7e to
purchase these radios and maintain them in their homes. These are tone-
activated radios so when there is an emergency, that signal will be sent
out over the radio at-the same time the signal is sent out to the County
to set tfie sirens off, People will know why the sirens are going off by
having some detailed information and can supplement that information with
TU and radio.
b, Consideration of Pedestriao Safety on Main Thoroughfares
Mr. Minton stated there has been d great deal of concern about the safety
of pedestrians crossing Highway 65 and Highw�y 47, especially at the main
intersections, and especially since a 10-year old boy was killed last
November.
Mr. Hunt stated that at the last meeting, the Commissioners had agreed
they would like him to request data from the State on the number of
pedestrian accidents at the different street intersections in Fridley
over the last ten years.
Mr. Hunt stated he did get in touch with someone from the State and was
able to obtain data for nine years, 1976-1979 and 1980-1984. He stated
that the worst number of accidents occurred at Mississippi and Highway 47.
Mr. Turnbull stated there are a lot of factors that enter into pedestrian
accidents, car/bicyle accidents and vehicle/vehicle accidents. One of
the factors they have to look at and what the State continualty looks at is
HU11AN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING; APRIC 4, 1985 PAC,E 4
some type of comparison with the number of accidents that happen and the
amount of traffic that flows on that road. For example, he had some
traffic flow information in his office comparing the 1981 figures and the
]984 figures {two most recent years traffic flow studies have been done
6y the State), and there has been a slight increase in the amount of
traffic, roughly about 5%. He stated there are just short of 40,000
vehictes traveling north and south on Highway 47 in a day. In lookinq
at the data t6e State had done on pedestrian accidents and seeing that
the most serious area was Mississippi/Higfiway 47 with five accidents over
a nine year period of time with approximately 35,000-40.00D vehicles going
tfirougfi that intersectibn every dav, the State may say that the accident
ratio was within reasonab7e and acceptable limits. However, if one life
is lost in that period of t1me, tfie City of fridley may say that it is not
acceptable.
Mr. Minton stated the State has promised to do a traffic study this spring,
and this study wil] be presented at a public hearing if the City asks them
to. He stated that tf there was something appropriate at that time, the
Cortmission could take some action.
Mr. Turnbull stated there were no easy answers to solving the pedestrian
crossi�g problem. If they change the signalling devices in order to a17ow
the pedestrians and bicylists a more adequate amount of time to get across,
rather than being able to only make it to the center island, this wouTd
have a significant impact on the flow of traffic. They would see some
back-up problems and that would have an affect on what was happening at
61st Avenue or farther north. So, there were a lot of things that had to
be considered. He would guess that the State of Minnesota, when they do
the traffic study, should be able to provide the City with the most
updated information, He stated he felt the public hearing would be the
ideal time for the Commission to express their concerns.
Mr. Minton asked Mr. Hunt that if he received any more information regard-
ing the study or the public hearing to please bring this to the Commission's
attention.
Mr. Belgum stated he appreciated very much the data Mr. Hunt had obtained
from the State on pedestrian accidents,
Mr. Turnbull stated the Fridley Police Dept. has always felt one of the
major contributing factors to accidents is alcohol. Another major contri-
buting factor is the weath2r. He stated he has been involved with alcohol-
related enforcenent for seven years. Fifty percent of all the accidents in
the City and State and country are alcohol-related. Tha City has taken a
hard stance against the drinking driver because of the City's unique traffic
problem and tremendous traffic volume. He stated he felt the City has
probably otte of the leading efforts in the area of DWI enforcement and is
one of the leading public educators of any city in tfie country. They have
joined with Blaine and Coon Raoids in this enforcement. Fridley is con-
sidered the model project and city for DWI enforcement and Fridle,y piloted
and pioneered the DWI safety checkpoints.
HUHAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETINC, APRIL 4, 7985 PAGE 5
Mr. Belgum stated this was information that should be qotten out to the
public. He recommended the Potice Dept, consider having this type of
information done in a series on public television.
Mr. Turnbull stated he would take a strong cue from this recomnendation
and work in that direction.
c. Consideration of Grants to Human Services Organizations from CDBG Funds
(1) 1983
Mr. Hunt stated that as discussed at the last meeting, the fridley
Senior Drop-in Center had returned the $4,150 to the City as they
were una6le to get their transportatton prrogram off the ground, The
Cortmissioners had to decide how they would like to redistribute this
money as long as tbe money was spent before Aug. 21, 1885, Ne had
told the Cor,mission that the Fridley Senior Drop-in Center would be
resubmitting a proposal for that amount, The Comnissioners 6ad
agreed to wait for the proposal from the Fridley Senior Droo-in Center.
Mr. Hunt stated the question before tf�e Commission was whether or not
they wanted to recommend to the City Council that the same amount of
money be given to the Fridley Senior Drop-in Center for "supplies".
He stated tF�e items listed were legi±imate for CDBG funds.
MOTION BY MS. Sherek, SECONDED BY MR, BELGUM, TO RF.COMMEND TO

(2) 1984
Mr. Hunt stated that as discussed at the last meeting, the 1984
funds allocated to The Alexandra House {$3,200 for the construction
of a parking lot) did not qualify for CDBf funding under human
services. The Alexandra House has also resubmitted a fundinq request
for $3,200 to 6e used for insulation and paint. He stated this was
appropriate for funding,
MOTION BY MS. Sherek,, SECONDED BY MR. BELGUM, TO RECOMMEND TO

__. ___ _
HUt1AN RESOURCES COFiMISSIOF! MEETIF�G, APRIL 4, 1985 PA6E 6
Mr. Hunt stated the Anoka County Cortmunity Action Program (CAP) has
a Senior Outreach Progran, and their funding period runs from Sept.
through May--four months in 1985 and five months in 1986. They had
asked for funding in the amount of $6,729 which was allocated to
them. Regulations dictate that the 1984 CDBG program funds need to
be expended by Dec. 31, 1985, so 5/9 of tf�eir grant is outside that
fund le period. So, Anoka County CAP cut their funding back to the
fo��ntfis from Sept, 1, 1985, to Dec. 31, 1985, and are asking
for g2,720 instead of $6,129.
Mr. Hunt stated this left $3,409 now unallocated. One possibility
would 6e to fully fund tfiose organizations wfio made requests (Family
Life Mental Hea]th Center and North Su6ur6an Family Service Center)
but were not fully funded (excluding S.O.R.T, and Anoka County Volunteer
Alliance) totalling $3,040, leavinq only 5369 remaining.
Mr. Minton stated that based on his recoTiection of ail the organi-
zations, he was impressed with all of them and would recommend the
Commission recomnend the reallocation of funds as suggested by Staff,

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY,
Mr. Hunt stated he would draft a 7etter to the City Council with a
courtesy copy to the Planning Commissiop.
(3) 1985
Mr. Hunt stated he had gotten announcer�ents in the local media about
the 1985 CDBG funds and had mailed information out to all the organi-
zations who have requested funding and have been funded in the past
few years. He stated the deadline for applications was April 18,
Ne stated this would give the Comnission two weeks to review the
applications. At tfie May meeting, tf�e Commissioners can discuss the
applicatibns and set a time to have the organizations make presentations
to the Comrnission,
Mr. Hunt stated that at this meeting, the Commissioners should review
the funding guidelines and make any necessary changes,
The Commissioners made a couple of changes to the score sheet.
Ms. Sherrick stated she had read in previous minutes that the Commission
should have more definite reasons for why they scored an organization
HUHAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETIN6, APRIL 4, 1985 PAGE 7
a certain way. She suggested the score sheet be redrafted,perhaps
into two pages, leaving enough room for cortments, and then attach
a score sheet to each grant application,
Mr. Belgum and Mr. Minton stated this was an excellent idea.
d, Consideration of Matters Related to Ethnic Background of fridley Residents
Mr. Belgum stated that at the last meeting, he had told the Commissioners
about the interview series of people with interesting ethnic backqrounds
in Fridley that was done by students of an anthropology class at Anoka
Ramsey Community College. This was done to help tfie promotion of Fridley
Ethnic Days. Tfie Fridley Rotary Club contributed to printing and mailings.
Mr. Belgum stated he had invited Terrv Reuther, who was the head of this
study, to attend the Commission meeting, but apparently Mr. Reuther was
unable to make it. He stated Terry Reuther holds an MS Degree from Purdue
University and a BA from the University of Washington. He is an Adjunct
Professor in the Extension Division of tfie College of St. Francis, Peoria,
Illinois. He is also on the Facuity of Anoka-Ramsey Comnunity College.
He fias participated in several community studies: Poverty in Montgover Co.
Indiana, Recreational Use and Needs in Moundsview, and the Effect of
Realtors on Residential Patterns in Lafayette, Ind.
Mr. Belgum stated he would like to invite Mr, Reuther to attend the July
meeting,
Mr. Belgum stated 1986 will be the rededication of the Statue of Liberty.
He knows someone on the National C�mmittee and the National Cor,mittee is
looking for interesting ways to dramatize the ethnic mix that has come
under tfie gaze of the Statue of Liberty over the last 100 ,years. He
stated this was a good reason for the Commission to consider doing something
interesting. The fact that tfie City has had an Ethnic Days for the last
five years gave them a special occasion for it.
2. NEIJ BUSINESS:
a. Consideration of Recognition of Volunteers for the City of Fridley
Mr. Hunt stated that since time was getting short and April 22-28 was
National Vo7unteer Week, he had one of the City's interns nut toqether
a"Volunteer Thank-You Card". These would be sent out to volunteers of
the City of fridley,

some of their concerns.
The Comnissioners agreed to invite Mr. Inman to the May meeting.
d. Consideration of Public Information about No-Fauit Grievance Comnittee
Mr. Hunt stated this was an action item in the work plan. He stated he
would contact Peter Treuenfels to see what kind of news releases could be

to allow the use of a manually operated bell to let residents know that
they are in their neighborhoods. These citres have also stated that tt�e
operation is concerned about safety.

2. DEVELOP WORKPLAN FOR 1985
Chairperson Oquist indicated that he would like the City Council to state
the role of the commission. The commission also needs to look at where they
are going and what the commission does. He also requested a review of the
sign ��rdinance due to the frequent requests for variance. This topic would
also include the Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. Vos stated there should be more focus put on getting involved with the
Chamber of Commerce. He also indicated that some of the items on the
workplan needed to be done on an annual basis.
Chairperson Oquist requested that the Workplan be continued to the next
meeting, and requested Mr. Burch to be sure that all conanission members had
a copy of the 1984 Workplan to review prior to the next meeting.
3. DISCUSSION OF POSSIBILITY OF CITY PROMOTED ARBOR DAY ACTIUITIES FOR 1985
Mr. Burch suggested looking into promoting Arbor Day when trees are planted
in the community. He indicated that this could become an annual event.
Dr. Vos felt it was a good idea. The cost to the City would be nominal and
a project could be promoted through volunteer, youth or other organizations.
The commission felt this would be worth pursuing.

HEARING OPEN AT 7:33 P,M.
Chairperson Gabel read the Administrative Staff ReDOrt:
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
830 Overton Drive N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Sectio� 205.07.3D.2a requires a minimum side yard of 10 feet between
anv living area and side property lines.
APPEAIS COHMISSION MEETING, APRIL 9, 1985 PAGE 2
Section 205.07.3D.26 requires a minimum side vard of 5 feet 6etween a
attached accessory building or use and side propertv lines.
Section 205.07.3D.3a requires a rear yard setback of not less than one
fourth the lot depth, witfi not less than twenty-five {p5) feet permitted
or more than forty (4�} feet required.
Public pur�ose served by t�ese requirements is to maintain a minimum of
20 feet between living areas in adjacent structures and 15 feet between
qarages and living areas in adjacent structures to reduce exnosure to
conflagration of fire. It is also to allow for aesthetically pleasing
open areas around residential structures.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"I have two cars. My exisitng garage is 20 ft. by 12 ft, on the inside
and we can't get out of the car inside tfie garage, There is also no
storage area. We would like a two-car garage.
The family kitchen area is too small for a family of five; no cupboard
space; and my wife is on me a17 the time to do something."
C. ADHINIS7RATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Variance #1 - Tfie reduction froM 10 feet to 4 feet for living area.
If the Board recommends apnrovel, the Staff has no sti�ulations to suqqest.
Variance #2 - Reduction of garage side vard from 5 feet to 2 feet.
Adjacent to this addition is the neiqhbor's driveway. The averaqe two car
garage width is 22 feet; therefore, if the petitioner's measurements are
correct, he could obtain a 22 foot garage and leave 3 feet between his
garage addition and tfie assumed property line. The staff recommendation
is that any approval should be contingent upon a new survey beinq made to
determine the oroperty line and that the variance be a minimum of 2 feet,
or to 3 feet if a 22 foot garage can be obtained at the 3 foot measurement.
Uariance #3 - Reduction of the rear yard from 29 feet to 21 feet.
We have had discussions with the petitioner on this and suggested he reduce
hfs 20 ft. by 30 ft. addition to 16 ft. by 24 ft, in order to maintain a
25 foot rear yard. He feels that the 20 by 30 addition would better fit
his needs.
If the Board recommends approval of any rear yard variance, we do not have
any stipulations to suggest.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING; APRIL 9, 1985 PAGE 3
Mr. Clark showed a picture of the residence taken from the street and an
aerial photo showing the house in relation to the neighbor's house. One
thing he would like to add to the Staff Report was that if the garage is to
be built less tfian 3 feet from the lot line, that wall nearest the lot line
should be a one-fiour rated fire wall.
Mr. Ivers sfiowed his proposed plan to the Comnission. He stated the addition
would be for a dining area, family room, and another upstairs bedroom for his
son who presently sleeps 1r tfie 6asement. Ne stated he has talked to his
neigfibors, and none of tfiem Fds any objection to this addition or garage.
Mr. Clark stated that Mr. Rodger Westlund, the adjacent property owner at
830 Overton Drive, has signed a statement saying he did not object to the
side yard variance for tfie attacfied garage from 5 ft. to 2 ft. or the side
yard variance from 10 ft. to 9 ft, for living area.
Ms. Gabel stated she couid see that the biggest problem came about because
of the odd shape of tfie tot.

UpON A VOICE V02E, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARZNG CLOSED AT 7:98 P.M.
Mr. Betzold stated he believed the reason for the third variance was because
of the unusual shape of tfie lot, so f�e could see the hardship there. As far
as the first two variances, his usual opposition was in building too close
to lot lines. He noted that tlie petitioner's neighbor did have a double car
garage already, and it was not very likely tfiat neighbor would seek to build
any closer. Also, because of tf�e fact that Mr. Ivers' particular structure
was far forward of wfiere the neighbor's garage was, he felt there was still
adequate space between the two structures which he felt still m�intained the
intent of the City Code.
Mr. Barna stated he had no problem with these variances. They have had a few
variances in this neighborhood, principally because this style of house did
not allow enough space for a garage expansion without getting into the pie-
shaped yard. Most of the yards on corner lots in this area are pie-shaped.
He stated the rear yard setback variance was not the petitioner's fault.
If the lot was square, there would be no need for a side yard variance for
livinq area, 5ince the garage would be quite a bit in front of the neiqhbor's
garage and as long as the side wall was a fire-rated wall, he would have no
objection.
Ms. Gerou stated this was unique in that this was an unusually shaped lot.
She felt to add only a 16 ft. by 24 ft. addition would really defeat the
purpose needed by the petitioner.
Mr. Barna stated the fact that the petitioner needed a garage and another
upstairs bedroom was the hardshin.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
4800 East River Road N.E.
A, pUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED SY REQUIREMEN7:
Section 214.26 limits the maximum size of eighty (80) square feet in
area for a free-standing sign.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual pollution
and excessive use of signs in industrial areas.
B. STATED HARDSNIP:
"7his is a unique manufacturing facility; partly Navy-owned and operated,
and partly fMC-owned and operated. The directional sign will clarify
FMC ownership and safely direct southbound traffic to the proper entrance.
This facility averages 120 visitors and 65 contractors per day using the
designated entrance, exiting off a major road."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REUIEW:
The existing sign is approximately 448 square feet in area and the sign
is in good condition. The County Park system has purchased the land
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 9, 1985 PAf,E 5
the sign is located on and tfiey have asked FMC to reduce the size of
the sign to 144 square feet. The County has no objection to having the
sign located on their property.
If the Board recommends approval on this request, the Staff has no
stipulations to suggest.
Mr. Clark stated that on one of the sign plans in the Commission`s agenda, in
the upper right hand corner, Mr. Torkildson, Director of the Anoka County
Parks & Recreation Department,had verified the fact that the County has
requested the sign be replaced with a smaller sign.
Mr. Sykora presented a letter to the Commission which was addressed to
himself from the Anoka County Department of Parks & Recreation which stated
that Anoka County has requested FMC to reduce the size of the informational
sign located on Park property in the City of Fridley and has agreed with
FMC for a sign approximately 12 ft, by 12 ft, being placed in a similar
location for directional information only. The County was requesting this
sign be replaced by the end of April 1985 or at least the existing sign be
removed by that time.

Mr. Sykora showed the Commissioners a photograph of the existing sign
located on Anoka County property. He stated there are five entrances into
FMC, and this sign is the only sign for southbound traffic. The only other
sign in the area or across from East River Road from that is a large 30 ft.
by 30 ft, sign that indicates that FMC is navy-owned, so people coming south,
about 200 vehicles a day, have no indication that this is the main gate for
them to enter so there is the potential safety hazard of peonle going too far
or slowing down and not being sure of the right entrance.
Ms. Gabel stated it has been her position that any time they can reduce a
large sign as significantly as this, they are headed in the right direction.

Mr. Betzold stated he felt a directional sign at this particular location
was needed, because there are so many entrances. He had no objection to
the variance.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAfF REPORT

A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205,07.3D.2a requires a minimum of 10 foot side yard setback
between living areas and any side pro�erty line.
public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a minimum of
20 feet between living areas in adjacent structures and 15 feet between
garages and living areas in adjacent structures to reduce exposure to
conflagration of fire. It is also to allow for aesthetically pleasing
open areas around residential structures.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Need extra space (width) to allow for easy passage through to the outside
area and to make room wide enough for normal use."
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 9, 1985 PAGE 7
C, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The house ta the south of the petitioner's house is 17 feet from the
common property line. Therefore, there would be 24 feet between living
areas if the variance is granted.
The staff has no stipulations to suggest if the Board recommends approval.
Mr.Clark stated that on the last page of the Commission's agenda was a letter
from the neighbor to the south, Tom Haley, 6030 Stinson Blvd., stating he had
no objection to Mr. Kubacki's plans.

Mr. Kubacki showed the Commission the plans for the addition. He stated
that when they originally built the house, they had wanted a family room;
but for financial reasons, they did not add the family room on at that time.
Their family has now increased, and they wou7d like to add the family room
on, The minimum fie could build was 8; ft., but fin order to make room for
adequate passage into the house, a closet area, and mud room area, the extra
3z ft. would make a real functional room. He stated he also hopes to gain
some solar heat from tf�e soutf�ern exposure.
Mr. Kubacki stated that because of poor soil in the area, this area of the
lot was the only part that was really buildable. That was why the house was
located close to the southerly lot line and was not ce�tered on the lot.

HEARING CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M.
Mr. Betzold stated there would still be 24 ft, between this house and the
neighbor's house, and the overall structure was not being moved any closer,
just extending the line, although this will be livinq area as oaposed to
garage area, The petitioner would not have had this problem if the house
could have been built more in the center of the lot. He thought a variance
was appropriate in this case.
Mr. Barna stated he had no problem with the variance. The living area would
sti11 be 1; ft. away from the neighbor's house than the garage is now. He
could see the need for additional living space. The placement of the house
on tf�e lot was basically the reason for tf�e variance; it was nothing caused
by the petitioner himself,
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 9, 1985 PA6E 8
Ms. Gerou stated that because af the uniqueness of the lot, the placement of
the house on the lot, and the fact that the line was just beina extended,
she would be in favor of the varianc2.

APPROVAL OF MARCH 26, 1985, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION by Mr. Gronlund, seconded by Mr. Peterson, to approve the March 26, 1985,
n� vironmental Quality Comnission minutes as written.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Nielsen declared the motion
carried unanirtwusly.
DISCUSSION ON THE PROGRESS OF THE FRIDLEY CURBSIDE RECYCLIPJG PROGRAM
Ms. Merriam indicated that she had attended the Anoka County Board of
Comnissioners meeting held April �5, 1985, and that the Board had approved
a funding level of $1.25 per household or $13,149. The funds will be
allocated during the year, perhaps in October, with restrictions on how
the funds may be spent. A workplan will be submitted by October 10, 1985.
These funds may not be recurring because the Board feels that the Anoka
County Landfill will close in 1986, and the funds are available through
the landfill surcharge. Ms. Merriam indicated that CDBG funds could be
used for the recycling program, but those funds could also be cut. She
felt it important to consider ways to provide future funding for the
recycling program.
Mr. Peterson stated that, since the Metropolitan Council is considering
making recycling mandatory, the Council would do something to prromote
recycling programs.
Ms. Merriam reviewed the Specifications, Contract and Bid Sheets for the
program and the changes that had been made before it was sent out. Ms.
Merriam indicated that the materiai had been sent to six potsntial bidders
and would be advertised twice in the fridley Focus. Ms. Merriam said she
would be contacting the MPCA to see if they had more names of interested
parties, a;nd she will then forward copies of the specifications to those
people.
ENUIRONMEN7AL QUALITY C0�lMISSION MEE7ING APRIL 16 1985 PAGE 2
Referrin9 to page 21 of the specifications, Ms. Merriam indicated that the
hauler would be required to submit a plan showing how they would figure the
participation rate and how they would use that participation rate in
figuring their base bid, reduced bid and no subsidy amount.
In addition, Ms. Merriam stated that she was reviewing the refuse ordinance
and the recycling ordinance which require changes to coincide with the
recycling program. She felt the two ordinances would be combined into one
ordinance to reduce redundancy. The proposed ordinance changes may go
directly to the Planning Coimnission in order to get the ordinances amended
more quickly.
Mr. Peterson indicated the need for an educational program to get the
recycling program going. The Jaycees could help with that process. Some
items the Jaycees could help with include working with the BTock Captains
to get more people participating and making signs. He agreed to speak with
the Jaycees and see how they responded to the ideas.
Ms. Merriam discussed publicity of the program with the co�nission, The
recycling program is scheduied to begin in June. A publicity promotion will
be done at that time and another promotion in September. Ms. Merriam
presented a proposed article for the City Newsletter with questions and
answers relating to the recycling pro9ram. She also indicated that she
would like to include in an article information from Sandra 6ardebring,
chairoerson of the Metropolitan Counci].
Mr. Gronlund noted that the City had stated in the specifications that they
would develop and deliver the initial flyer on the recycling program. Ms.
Merriam distributed samples of flyers from other municipalities for the
commission members to review. The concensus was that a one-page flyer would
be adequate to provide the needed information.
Additional items that need to be coordinated for the week prior to the actual
start-up of the recycling program include reserving the comnunity bulletin
board, preparing an advertisement for the Fridley Focus, and 'advertising on
Cable N.
Mr. Nielsen suggested some type of publicity be included as a part of "49er
Days" held in June and asked if the Jaycees would consider a project as part
of the festivities.
Ms. Merriam i•ndicated that some of these items would be scheduled once the
bids are in and approved. At that time, a more specific start-up date for
the recycling program can be established.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
6880 Channel Road N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.07.3D.2c.1 requires the side yard setback on a street side of
a corner lot shall be not less than seventeen and one-fialf (17.5) feet.
APPEALS C�IMISSIO�J MEETING, APRIC 23; 1985 PAGE 2
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree
of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into
the neighbor's front yard.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Have garage even with house on side street for privacy, looks, and noise.
The boulevard is 17 feet wide ��ith two utility poles on it. There is no
sfdewalk proposed. Mv property joins two commercial properties, 6876
Channel Road and 6881 Highway #65, both of which have had variances to
go closer to the property lines."
C, ADMINISTRA7IVE STAFF REVIEW:
The only thing the Staff would ask the Board to consider is that the garage
be p7aced 2o feet off the street right of way so as to provide space to nark
a vehicle in front of the garage door without encroaching into the street
right-of-way.
Mr. Clark stated Mr. Maas has started preparing the ground for the construction
of tfie garage, but he has prepared it in sucfi a way that the garage can be
rraved north or south, wfiatever dimensions are ap;�roved by tfie Appeals Commission
at this meeting. If Mr. Maas is granted a 17; ft. side yard setback, the garaqe
will be in line with the house. If he is granted a 20 ft. side vard setback,
the garage will be 2Z ft. to the nortfi of tfie location of the house.
Mr. Maas stated the garage would look much nicer at 17y2 ft. as it would look
like the garage was planned with the house, not as an afterthought. He stated
that cars are getting smaller today than they used to be. He has one older car
that is 19 ft. long whicfi would probably stay in the garage. He owns two
smaller cars that measure only 15� ft.long. Since the idea was to keep the
cars off the boulevard, the small cars would 6e off tfie boulevard.
Mr. Maas stated the neighbor across the street at 6878 Channel Rd, has a variance
which was a lot closer to the property line than what he was requesting. The
boulevard was 17; ft. wide and the driveway was 34 ft, long. Even if a sidewalk
was planned on the boulevard, there wouTd not be a car parked that close to it.
Mr. Maas stated noise was another factor. When he moved in 20 years ago,
Highway 65 did not have much traffic. Today the noise from the traffic was
bad and was getting worse, Tfiis garage would cut down a lot on the noise and
the security lights from the motel.
Mr. Barna stated he fiad trouble with the stated hardship. The Cormiission needs
a justifiable reason w�y the petitioner has to have a garage at 172 ft. rather
than 20 ft.
Mr. Maas stated he did not have much back yard now. The further they move the
garage back, the closer it wil7 be to the neighbors. Also, he has planned a
10 ft.patio with a roof beyond the garage.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 23, 1985 PAGE 3
Mr. Betzold stated he was concerned about safety--the line of sight for cars
coming around the corner, Mr. Maas had stated that cars were gettinq smaller,
but he was not so sure about that. Mr, Betzold stated he has seen pick-un
trucks and boats parked in driveways. The purpose of the 20 ft. is to move
things away so cars coming around the corner can see the oncoming traffic.
Mr. Maas stated he did not see the problem. The boulevard was 17; ft, which
was room enough for a vehicle right there. There was no obstruction, other
than the telephone pole, for traffic coming around the corner. The traffic
does not travel too fast because thz street is only one half block long.
Mr. Barna stated he had no problem with the line of sight and, aesthetically,
the garage would look better in line with the house. His problem was still
with the hardship as stated.
Ms. Gabel stated that legally for the Appeals Commission to grant a variance
the petitioner needs to demonstrate a hardship. If the lay of the land or the
amount of land, or something like that, causes a unique hardship, then the
hardship is demonstrated. The desire or wish to do something was different
from a hardship.
Mr. Maas stated the noise from the highway was tremendous and was getting worse
The only way he can stop some of that noise was to put up a buildinq and a fence.
His bedroom window was on the south, and there was a lot of traffic noise,
especially in the sumnertime and on weekends.
Mr, Barna suggested that the hardship could be that because the bedroom window
is 4 ft, from the forward edge of the southerly end of the house, having the
garage at 17� ft. would shield the sounds from Highway 65 better than it would
if the garage was placed at 20 ft.
MOTION BY MR. BRRNA� SECONDED BY MR, BETZOLD� TO CIASE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTZNG AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED TXE PUBLIC HEARZNG
CLOSED AT 7;50 P,dt,
Mr. Barna stated he would have no problem with the garage beinq lined up
with the side of the house. If the garage was moved 2; ft. back as suggested
by SLaff, it has been demonstrated that it would create a hardship as far as
the master bedroom was concerned. There would still be 34 ft. from the front
of the garage to the curb, and he knew there were a lot of side yards with 2-3
ft. boulevards that were only 18-19 ft. from the curb. He would be in favor
of granting the variance.
Mr. Betzold stated he was not in favor of granting the variance. He stated the
hardship was entirely manufactured by the Commission, finding the 6ardship
was not the role of the Commission. The Appeals Commission has a resoonsibility,
and he did not see the hardship,
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETIN6, APRIL 23, 1985 PAfE 4
Ms. Gabel stated she, too, was not very clear on the hardship, She suspected
the hardsfiip initialiy was that the petitioner needed a garage; however, the
placement of the garage was somewhat in question. She did not have a specific
problem with the garage being li.ned up witb t6e 6ouse as it might be desirable
in terms of the neigh6orhood, and sfie certainly t6ought the boulevard was big
enough�to sustain that. She could understand the need for the garage. Her
concern was she did not think the fiardship was clear enough for her to vote in
favor of the variance.
Mr. Barna stated the Comnission has helped find hardships for many neople over
the years, and whether they created the hardships or verbalized the hardships
was imnaterial. He could visualize the hardship in this case as the olacement
of the bedroom window. Ne stated some people have not had the kind of experience
the Appeals Comnission has had in being able to verbalize their hardships.
Mr. Betzoid stated he disagreed. He stated petitioners come to the hearings
pretty regularly knowing exactty what the circumstances are and why they wanted
something, and the Comnission has never had to stretch this far.
Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Clark that if this variance was denied, could the petitioner
go the full 25 ft. back without needing a variance?
Mr. Clark stated that at 20 ft., there would still be 26 ft. between the patio
and the north property line, but it would put the garage right in the middle
of the back yard.
Mr. Betzold stated he wou]d still feel more comfortab7e going a7ong with the
City's recommendation of 20 ft. rather than 172 ft. The city does want a little
more distance between the street and the garage if possible, and he did not
think 20 ft. was that much mare.

Polaroid photo of the house. He stated the garage addition was to be placed
in front of the existing garage and would be attached to the house with a
6reezeway.
Mr. Byrne stated he moved into the house in October 1984, so he has endured
one winter with the snow. He stated the street level is exactly one foot
higher than the existing garage so all the run-off goes into his garage.
That was one hardship. The other hardship was he has many material items
that need to be stored so his yard does not look like a junkyard, He wants
to start making improvenents to his property for safety and aesthetics for
his family and himself and the neighborhood. He stated the existing garage
would be used for storage and the proposed garage, 18 ft, by 24 ft. would be
used for two vehicles. He stated he was in the carpenter trade and would like
to use his tools to the best of his ability to improve his proeprty. There
was no commercial use or business use intended.
Mr. Betzold asked Mr. Byrne why he just didn't continue to use the existing
garage as a garage and then add on to the house either to the north or to the
west.
Mr. Byrne stated he could add on to the house to the nnr±�, but he had no desire
s�a�@. so. He wanted tc -._- .� �„„. __. _
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETIN6, APRIL 23 1985 PAGE 6
Mr. Betzold stated there was a part in the city code passe� specifically to
avoid what the petitioner was trying to do. He feit that because of the way
the lot was structured, the petitioner had ample room to do what he was trying
to do without a variance.
Mr, Byrne stated what he was trying to do was tie all the buildings together.
It is all laid out so that it will be aesthetically pleasing. There will be
different roof lines. He was trying to create something that was aestheticaily
pleasing, not only for himself, but also for the neighborhood.
Mr. Barna stated he had not considered the possibility of building to the north.
Why have to go to the northwest corner of the lot to dig out a snowblower or
whatever when the driveway is on the northeast side? He wondered if the
petitioner intended to keep the garage door in the existing garage in order to
drive vehicles through from the new structure into the existing Qarage,
Mr, Byrne stated he planned on having a 6 ft. x 6 ft. service door between the
two structures.
Mr, Barna stated the layout of the structure did look nice, As far as the size
of the building, from the front, it was not going to look any bigger than a
lot of larger homes in the area.

UPON A VOZCE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLSC
HEARING CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M.
Mr. Betzold stated that since this was a new code provision, he could see
more requests coming in in the future from people wanting to build larger
storage spaces, and the code simply does not allow it. The wisdom of the code
was not the Comnission's province but findfng the hardship was.
Mr. Barna stated they are going to start seeing a new society of people with
smaller families requiring less living space but needinq larger storage space
for recreational-type vehicles--trailers, boats, motorcycles, RV's. The code
requires a garage for any new structure, but yet now they want to turn around
and limit the size of the garage. Mavbe the Citv should be looking at whether
the code should have been changed to just 1,000 square feet, rather than
allowing something that was aesthetically designed with the house. He stated
it was the Comnission's charge to see whether the code was viable in this
particular instance, and he felt in this instance the variance should be
granted and the structure should be allowed.
Ms. Gabel stated she felt it was true that there are going to be smaller families
and they are guing to be more recreation-oriented which means they are going
to have a need for storage of different items. However, she did have a problem
with the garage being larger than the house. If they are going to see a lot of
tfiese kinds of requests, then perhaps the Planning Commission and Citv Council
should take a look at this part cf the code.
APPEALS COHMISSION MEETING, APRIL 23, 1985 PAGE 7
Mr, Clark stated that if indeed the petitioner needs more storage space, to
meet code he can only add about 10 ft, onto the existing garage, which would
probably not look too good to people driving by, and it would not give him
room for a breezeway. He stated this was a smaller home, built in 1956,
and most new homes are built much larger than this. He stated he has not
gotten a permit for a house to be built less than 1,000 sq, ft, for the last
five years. He did not know if it was good to have the code changed for just
one instance.
Mr, Betzold stated that, in other words, if the petttioner had fiappened to have
a larger house, he would not have needed tfie variance. That helped clarify
the situation a little more, but he still felt this particular provision in
tfie code needed to 6e reviewed again.

ADh1INISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 214.11.26 limits the maximum size of eight (80) square feet
in area for a free standing sign.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual
pollution and excessive use of signs in commercial areas.
EASE
APPEALS COhP1ISSI0N MEETIN6, APRIL 23, 1985 PAGE 8
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Lost signage in windstorm. Replace with letter quality signage, No
increase in total square footage from signage in existence before
windstorm."
C, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Prior to 1983, two separate signs were maintained on the property--one
was the existing 5 ft. by 10 ft. Spur sign, the other was a 4 ft. by 8 ft.
messaqe center. In 1983, a storm damaged the message center;however, it
was allowed to be repaired.
A storm in 1984 again destroyed the message center. On July 2, 1984, a
variance was denied to replace the message center in its originai location--
1 foot off the south property line and 7 1/2 feet off the west property line.
Total free-standing sign area was to be 108 square feet.
In February 1985, Ms. Sprang of Murphy Oil prouosed to replace the message
center on a separate pylon next to the existing Spur sign. Since that
time, the staff and Ms. Sprang have developed a plan which combines the
signage on a s9ngle pylon. Ms. Sprang has also ini.tiated action to provide:
1, curbing on the east and south perimeter
2, landscaping within the egress island along Mississippi St.
3, evergreens along the east to supplement the district
separation fence
The approval of this variance would increase the permitted square footage
of a free standing sign from 80 square feet to 98 square feet.
Mr. Ciark stated the petitioner has worked with the Planning Department, and
it appeared they have agreed to improve tfie landscaping and incorporate some
new curbing to bring the property more in compliance witf� today's standards.
Ms. Gabe7 asked if the petitioner had any statements to make regarding the
need for this variance.
Ms. Sprang stated that because signage was lost in a wind storm, they still
have a hardship. Her perception of a hardship was that Mr. 5wingdorf, proprietor
of the Spur station, was a businessman in the community, and his business
depends on advertising to the public. He has lost 32 sq. £t, of signage through
no fault of his own, and they are proposing to replace that signage with better
quality, more attractive signage, that will not biow down every time there is
a puff of wind. The Union 76 station across the street has a reader board,
and the new Petro Stop at 81st and East River Road has a reader board.
Mr. Swingdorf is at a competitive disadvantage in that he cannot adverttse
his specials. She stated they will be spending approximately $2500 in
aesthetics to bring the property up to code.
APPEALS COM�ISSION MEETING APRIL 23, 1985 PAGE 9
Ms. Gabel stated that when things are out of code, they need to be brought back
into code compliance, whether it is signs, landscaping, whatever. She would
like to see all of these things ha�pen in and of themselves, which nrobably
will not happen, but she did not think compliance of the code in other areas
that should be in compliance anyway was justification for a variance. She
stated the Appeals Cortmission has been quite consistent in their dealinq with
cimilar variance requests.
Mr. Betzold asked the petitioner if they could accomplish what they want with
the smallest Spur sign possible and a 4 ft, by 8 ft, reader board. Could the
gas price be put on part of the reader board?
Ms, Sprang stated she did not think so because of the corporate image. The
corporation usually wants everything uniform in size:
Mr. Betzold asked tfie petitioner if che would be willing to discuss this
possibility with the corporation. That would make a total square footage of
82 square feet, and he would be more favorable to that size of variance.
Ms. 6abel stated she would not, simply because she felt they have to be
consistent, They have turned down variances for other gas stations for
reader boards.
Mr, Barna stated he disagreed with Ms. Gabel, He stated he had looked at
Mr. Swingdorf's reader board every day, twice a day, for 16 years. He uses
the station once a week, and he noticed the specials and community information
Mr. Swingdorf put on the reader board. He would have no objection to the
variance. This was not just a gas station; it was a grocery store, too.
Mr. Swingdorf stated that as proprietor of the Spur station, he was at a
definite disadvantage with his competition.
CitySStaff,5totcomehupfwith5whatdMracDomernfeltdthe1A�peals Commi�smon'would

Mr. Betzold stated that even if the Appeals Commission was to deny the
variance, this still went to City Council, and City Council had the final
approval, He stated that, also, there were two commissiuners not at the
meeting who might have different input, different ideas, and different
questions.
Ms. Gabel stated the Appeals Commission could make a recomnendation at this
meeting and send it on to City Council, or they could make a motion to table
the item if the petitioner would like to go back and talk to the corporation
about any other possibilities.

A, PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIRFIYIENT:
Section 205.07.3D.2c.1 requires the side yward setback on a street side
of a corner lot to be not less than seventeen and one-half (17.5) feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree
of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sigfit" encroachment
into the neighbor's front yard,
8. STATED HARDSHIP:
"I would like to build my garage at the same setback distance that my
house is from the curb line on 68th Avenue. This would keep the house
and garage in line for a neat appearance and save as much of the back
yard as possible."
C, ADMINISTRATIUE STAFF REVIEW:
The only thing the staff would ask the Board to consider is that the
garage be pTaced 20 feet off the street right of way so as to provide
space to park a vehicle in front of the garage door without encroaching
into the street right of way.
APPEALS LOMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 23, 1985 PAf,E 11
Mr. Clark stated this variance request was similar to the variance request on
Channel Road. He stated the house right behind the petitioner on Pandora was
closer to 68th Ave. than what the proposed qarage would be at 172 ft. He
stated the petitioner has a sirgle car garage off Oakley St. The petitioner
fias requested a special use permit for two garages. At their last meeting,
the Planning Commission recommended approval of the special use permit. That
recommendation, along with the variance request, will go to City Council on
May 6.
Mr. Anderson stated he would like to keeo the garage in line with the house.
As it was, he was going to have to sacrifice three trees. If the qarage was
to be moved back to 20 ft., he woi�ld probably lose a fourth tree. Also, if the
garage was at 20 ft „ fie would lose a good portion of his garden which wes verv
important to them. Thev have a 20 ft. by 20 ft, garden. He stated that a �
member of the Appeals Commission had mentioned a concern about line of sight
earlier in the meeting. By keeoinq his garage in line with his house at 172 ft.,
he definitely did not see a problem. He stated he has two big blue spruces in
�� front yard that were more of a problem for visibility than the garage,
Mr. Anderson stated that, as Mr, Clark had mentioned, the house at 499 Pandora,
stuck out 10 ft, farther than his does. The house is 23 ft. from the curb.
If he had a 10 ft, boulevard, which was quite normal in the City, rather than
15 ft., there would be no problem. He would be over the 20 ft. for parking.
He stated his hardship was losing an additional tree and losinq part of his
garden. He was back from the street 32 ft. now, and he saw no visual problem
for traffic.

UPON R VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HERRING CLOSED AT 9:03 P.M.
Mr. Barna stated he had no problem with this variance request.
Mr, Betzold sta�ed he would have difficulty approving this variance when they
had approved the variance for the garage on Channel Road at 20 ft. He stated
he also did not like to see trees torn down, but the fact was that the
petitioner was already tearing down a few trees. He did not like to see
gardens torn up, but the petitioner was already tearing up a good part of the
back yard which was the petitioner's decision. He could not see grantinq a
variance just for those reasons. He would be willing to approve the variance
at 20 ft. in order to be consistent with what they had done earlier.
Ms. Gabe7 stated her comments were similar to the first variance reauest.
She personally had no objection to the garage being at 17� ft. However, she
felt the hardship was a little vague, and she also felt they needed to be
consistent with these variance requests.

A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIRETIENT;
Section 205.08.3A requires a minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet for
a two-family dwelling unit.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the condition of
overcrowding of a residential neighborhood.
Section 205.08.3D.2c,7 requires a side yard width on a street side of a
corner lot to be not less than seventeen and one-half (17.5) feet.

5ection 205.08.3d,1 requires a minimum front yard setback of not less than
thirty-five (35) feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide desired front yard
space to be used for green areas on access and to add to the attractabil{ty
of a residential district,
APPEALS COMMISSIDW MEETINr,, APRIL 23 1985 PAGE 13
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"I intend to build a zero lot line double bungalow for my own use. This
property would have its highest and best use as a double bungalow rather
than a single family dwelling as it is close to the freeway and in an area
of other rental property."
C, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The excessive, unused right of way, acquired at the time the freeway was
constructed, created large boulevard spaces between the lot line and the
paved portion of the road right-of-way.
If the Board approved this request, your motion could include a recommenda-
tion that the City work with the petitioner to deed the excess right of way
back to the adjacent lot.
Mr. Clark sho�ed the Commissioners an aerial photo of the property. He stated
there was between 70-80 ft, of boulevard between the south lot line and the
service drive along 694,
Mr. Westling showed the Commissioners a letter he had written to the State
some time ago inquiring about tfie 80 ft. by 25 ft, piece of property. He
had been told by tfie State that the lot was given to the City of Fridley, He
stated he has attempted to purchase that lot from the City of Fridley,but
beca�se of the possible development of the drive-in property, the City is not
willing to sell that piece of property at this time.
Mr, Westling stated he felt the construction of a double bungalow will be a
nice addition to the area.
MOTION BY MR. BETZOLD� SECONDED BY MR. BARNA, TO CLOSE THE PUBLZC XEARING.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTZNG AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED RT 9:18 P.H,
Mr. Barna stated he saw no hardships that were created by the owner. The
owner has shown an attempt to retrieve ownership of the 80 ft. by 25 ft. piece
of property in order to increase fiis lot size to satisfy the lot size re4uire-
ments, tfie front yard and side yard requirements. The propert,y is properly
zoned for multiple dwelling, so he would be in favor of granting the variances.
Mr, Betzold stated he agreed, Because of the existing problems, he did not
see anything t�at could be done otfier than to grant the variances and allow
the petitioner to bui7d a multiple dwelling on this property.
Ms, Gabel stated she also agreed. At some point, depending on what does develop
on the drive-in property, there may or may not be some property turned hack,
but in the meantime, there was no reason to hold up Mr. Westling's construction.
She agreed a double bungalow would be a desirable use of that property and
would certainly not be an overuse of the land.
