MOTI(XY BY AD2. KLWDRZCK, SECONDED BY AR, NZELSEN, TO OPEN TXE PUBLZC HEARIt%G ON SP #85-03 FRIDLEY CONVALESCENT HOME, BY BETTY J, WALL. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTTNG AYE, CNAZRWOMAN SCHNABEL DEC�ED TNE PUBLZC XEARSNG OPEN AT 7:35 P,M. Nr. Robinson stated this property was located on the northeast corner of Madison and Lyric Lane, just east of the Unity Nospital canpiex. The zoning was R-1 or single famil,y. The neigfiborhood to the soath was predominat�ly single family, an apartment complex to the east and north, and CR-1 (local) office) just to the north which included the Fridley Medical Cli�ic property. PLANNING Cf�tMISSIDN NIEETING, MAY 8, 1985 vAr,� p hir, Robinson stated Lhe proposal was for a 40-stall narking ]ot on the east side of the property with access off Lyric Lane and one-way circulation within the interior of the parking lot. There waS an existin9 39-stall parking lot on the west side. Mr. Robinson stated the Ptanning Canmission members had received cooies of the June 4, 1980, Planning Cormission minutes when there was a public hearing regarding a special use permit for an entrante from Lyric Lane because of expansion of the nursing home, Key points had been highTighted in yeltow. City PTanner, Mr. Boardman, had stated tF�at "when the nursing home was proposed in 1968, the Planning Camnission and City Council recommended a special use permit with the determination that there would be no access off Lyric Lane". At that meeting, there was a great deai of discussion and reference was made to the original City Council a;,proval that egress and exit should be on Madison St. The special use permit at the June 4� 1980, Ptanning Commission meeting was recommended denial by the Plannfng Cormiission with reasons, and the request was then withdrawn at the June 16, 1980, City Council meetinq, 7onight, this request was really a re-request for the same proposal. Mr. Robinson stated Staff has put together what they feel was one solution which would serve the general needs of the Fridley Convalescent Home and the whole area, and wou7d maintain and continue the existing access off Madlson St. This woutd involve the removal of the existzng storage garage area to the �orth. They would suggest that the pro�osed access onto lyric Lane be closed off and landscaped. Mr, Robinson stated Staff was recommending the following stipulations: 1. There Ae no access off Lyric Lane; that the access be off Madison St. 2. The parking lot be screened, both from the driveway and the residential property. 3. Any lighting in the parking lot be diffused lighting. 4, There be cne-way signs plac�� in the parking lot. 5, Petitioner work with Citv Engineerina on drainage requirements. Mr. Robinson stated he had received a telephone call from a resident, Janice Carroll, 7567 L_vric Lane, who could not attend this meeting, She lives directiy across the street, She stated she was against access off Lyric Lane. She had a pro6lem because of the already existing traffic and nroblem of property values. She was not against the parkinq lot if properly screened and would support the parking lot with access off Madison. Mr. Robinson stated the parking lot as described was for emp7oyees only so tfiere rrouldn't be a high turn-over of cars coming and qoing. Mr. Robinson stated one other issue that should be raisedwas the apartment building just to the east, Highland Park Apartments. There has been complaints in the past of people from the apartment building driving over the boulevard onto Lyric Lane. It has been suggested that a barricade be put up so they PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 8. 1985 PA6E 3 cannot continue to do that. One of the fears of the neighborhood is that if access is allowed off Lyric Lane for the Fridley Convalescent Hortie, the,v would fiave a hard time denying a permit to the apartment buiiding for the same access off Lyric Lane. Tfiere is the concern that the residential quality of the neighborhood woutd suffer. Mr, Robinson stated City Staff has met on site with people from the nursing home and went over the feasibility of moving the garage and putting the driveway through to the proposed east parking lot. One of the big concerns of the nursing home was they have a patio area for the residents behinA the building, and the driveway would be an intrusion on that passive area. Mr. Saba asked how many people were employed at the Fridley Convalescent Home. Ms. Jackie Judlicki stated she was the Administrator of the Fridley Conva- lescent Home, She stdted they have 140 emoloyees. The maximum number of employees per shift is 5D. The shifts are 6:00 a.m. - 2:3� p.m.; 2:00 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.; night shift. Ms. Judlicki stated the proposed parking lot would be an employee parkinc� lot and would be used solely for that purpose. She stated it was verv difficult to visualize the real situation at the rear of the building unless peonle had actuaily been there and looked at it. She stated there is not only a garage, but a garbage collection area. The property to the north sloDes down at a great inctine, so in order to extend the driveway, a lot of fi11 would have to be hauled in and some type of retaining wall constructed, They could not go with a single driveway as described by City Staff, At the rear of the building just before the garage, there are double doors. That is the emergency entrance. Also, all deliveries are made to the rear of the building, so large semi's come in and tfiey can take up the whole driveway for up to 1/2 hour in order to unload supplies. There would have to be enough room for cars to bypass what- ever vehicle was in the driveway. Ms. Judlicki stated that, as Mr. Robinson had mentioned, they do have a patio area in the rear--a contrete area with nice landscaping that is used not onlv by the employees, but by the residents and families oF re5idents. Many family activities are held there, She felt that for the safety of the residents, some of whom are very confused, she could not envision a driveway right there. Ms. Judlicki stated the existing parking lot does accommodate 39 cars. That is hardly enouqh for their employees, let atone visitors, dnctors, various services coming into the nursing home (such as rtabile dental, eye doctor, lab, portable x-ray, etc,}, Their employees are parkinq on the street; and at one time, were utilizing Unity Hospital parking lot; but now with the expansion of their faciiities, Unity is also crowded for parking. Ms. Judlicki stated that many visitors to the nursing home are elderly them- selves, and it is very difficult for them to visit their families and friends. The driveway coming off Madison St, for the existing parking lot is cor�inq in at an incline so in the winter with ice and snow, it is not only an inconvenience, but also a safety hazard to anyone having to walk up to the building. PLANNING COMMISSIQN MEE7ItIG, MAY 8, 1985 PA�E 4 Ms. Judlicki stated the expense of putting the driveway through in the rear woutd probably cost 3-4 times more than putting a driveway in off Lyric Lane, pius the disruption of their passive patio area and the safety of their residents. Mr. Minton asked if a study had been done in-house of how much additional cost would be incurred by extending the dr{veway fror� Madison. t4s. Judlicki stated they had not done a study. Ms. Schnabel asked how they would indicate that the proposed lot was for employee parking only. Ms. Judlicki stated they would have signs indicating it was an employee parking lot on1y, Each employee would have a sticker for the car, and it would be monitored through the maintenance department, Mr, Phil Dahlen, 1378 Skywood lane N,E „ stated his mother has taeen a patient at the Fridley Convalescent Home for 12 years. From the existing driveway from where it slants and goes back to the double doors, �here are some blocks that go up to separate the cars that are facing east and the cars that are facing west and also cars up against the buildinq. When you are tryinq to get out of the double doors area, you have to back i� between a set of parked cars which is practically impossible. He stated there is no other way to turn around in that slant. Mr. Dahlen stated that as to the parking facilities on the west siAe of the buiiding, there is very few parking spaces for people like himself coming to visit. There is Fwndicapped parking on the very northwest corner where the double doors are. He stated that during tfie w5nter time, it is ohysically impossible to go uphitl, because the existing parking lot is downhill. The employees have to park some place; and if the employees are takinq up parkinq spaces, there are no parking snaces for visitors except oi� ��2 street. He s`.ated he had no intention of parking his car on the street at any time. MT•, Dahlen stated that on the north side of the driveway, it is all downhill, In order to extend tfie driveway, there would have to be a lot of fill brought in, As far as the distance, he did not think there could be a 25 ft, driveway in there at all. As far as access off Lyric Lane, cars would not be coming in convoy fashion. It was when the shift ended that there mtqht be a prob]em, because everyone wants to get out at the same time. The possible solution urould be ]ike it is at Northtown, where the cars go in on one side with a little bit of an island and comes out on the other side, with a right turn only onto Lyric Lane, so no one can cross the street making a ieft turn goinq to Jackson St, around 3:00 p.m, in the afternoon, Ms, Carol Bas91, 810 Rice Creek Terrace, stated she does go to the nursinq home to visit her father and she has yet to be able to park in the parkinq lot, She has either had to park on the street or leave and come back later, She PLANNING Cf1MMIS5I0N MEETING, MAY 8, 1985 PAfE 5 ►routd be in favor of an additional parking lot. The existing drivewav is very narrow, and she did not think that would be a good access to the proposed parking lot on the east. Ms. Dorothy Newton, 228 - 104th Lane N,W., stated she wo�dered if anyone had taken into consideration the building for the new medical center across the street at Unity Hospitat, Because of the construction, the workmen take u� a lot of the street parking. She stated she has spoken to people at the Fridley Medicat Clinic next door, and they object to visitors from the nursinq home parking in their lot. Some of the visitors to the nursinq home have to use the church parking lot. She stated she usually goes to the nursing home between 1:C0-2:30 p.m, and usually there is no place to park, She stated her mother has been in the nursin9 hane for 6�, years. That is her mother's home, All her mother has to leok forward to are her visitors as she cannot get out of bed and cannot walk. Many people who would like to come to the nursing home do not because they cannot walk from the street or other parkinq lots. Ms. Newton stated that on Dec. 28, 1984, tfiere was a fire at the Fridley Convales�ent Home, How would the fire engines have gotten across to the east side of the building without a parking lot and driveaay if there has been a lot of snow? She stated they have to take the safety factors into consideration, too. Ms. Newton stated that many cars �,arked on the street are parked so close together that there are near collisions to cars exiting because peo�le cannot see someone trying to enter. 5he stated these are all very bad situat`ons. Ms. MerTe Herbert stated she lives in Minneapolis. Her mother has lived in the fridley Convalescent Home for lA years, 5he stated she believed when she goes to visit her mother, she would have the right to park just like any other person who visits his/her mother. She stated that if Ms. Judticki said thin�s would be kept up, they could take her word as the Fridley Convalescent Home is a"home", If Ms. Judlicki tells her staff how to �.ark, they will do �.��! she says. Ms, frances Frank stated she was an employee at the Fridley Convalescent Nome. She stated she felt that the existing parking lot should be for visitors only� and the aew parking lot should be ior employees only, She did not think it was good to have access from Madison and have to move the garage or the beautiful patio the residents enjoy. Mr. Bruce Barsness, 7569 Lyric Lane, stated he was opposed to the parking lot and to the access onto Lyric Lane. He stated he has been a homeowner on Lyric Lane for 8%, years. During that time, there has 6een considerable expan- sion of all the property owned by the North Suburban Hospiial District and operated by Health Central, Inc. The size of L'nity is much bigger than it was 8 years ago. The amount of traffic is much larger than 8 years ago. If tfiey compare the traffic on Lyric Lane to the traffic or. any other street in the Melody Manor area, there was a considerable difference. PLANNI��G COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 8, 1985 PAGE 6 Mr. Barsness stated they have some rapidly expanding businesses on the north side. Homeowners who were there first are on the south side. The haneowners want one thing and the businesses want something else. He has not seen any expansion plans tf�at take into account both the homeowners and the businesses. Mr. Barsness stated he lives across the street from the Highland Park Apart- ments. There is a parking lot there, and he dfd not need two parking lots across the street from him, One other concern had to do with property values. The value of the hames on Lyric Lane are iess than the homes in the interior of Melody Manor, Mr. Barsness stated that five years ago there was a proposal by the Fridley Convalescent Fbme for a U-shaped driveway and expansion of the structure to the east. There was no mention at that time of a need for more parking, so apparently this additional parking need has arisen since that time. Six years ago the nursing home did not have a patio or storage building on the back side. He questioned the nursing home's planning. Why weren't these parking problems foreseen before these things were put in? Mr, Barsness stated that besides the traffic, he had some other concerns regarding the access onto Lyric Lane. If the lot overftows either because there are too many smployees, snow removal problems, repairs, etc., those cars are ail qoing to be out on Lyric Lane. Mr. Barsness stated that as far as the City's proposal for the driveway goinq in from the back, the only way he would find that acceptable was if the lot Nas fenced in a11 the way around including the Lyric Lane side and landscaped so they wou7d not have to look at the cars. One of his concerns with r,ne City's pTan was that when landscaping goes in, it is always quite sma11. Cars would sti11 be able to drive in over the grass just like they do at the Highland Park Apartments. He wanted to make sure there was no way the cars could get to Lyric Lane from the parking lot. Mr. Barsness stated parking on the east lot would have to be controlled because there could be a potential pro6lem there. He had heard there was qoinq to be a sticker system, "employee parking only" signs, and he believed those were good intentions, but sorietimes things change over a period of time. Once that lot is in, it cannot be removed. Mr. Lioyd Larson, 7544 Lyric Lane, asked if the driveway could be extended to an east parking lot. Was there enough land? Ne stated peonle have talked about safety of the people in the nursing home, but what about the safety of the children who walk up and down Lhe street because there are no sidewalks? If the Fridley Convalescent Home gets a driveway onto Lyric Lane, then the aoart- ment build4ng should have the same access. Right now the street is very busy. He could agree to the parking lot, but no access onto Lyric Lane. He would like to see the driveway on the batk side if there is enough room. Then everv- body's problem would be solved. Mr. Larson stated that when the Fridley Convatescent Home was built, it was stipulated that there would be no atcess onto Lvric Lane because the people PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIf�G, MAY 8, 1985 PAGE 7 did not want it. Five years ago they treed for access onto Lyrit Lane, and here they are a9ain. If the building was not enlarged as proposed five years ago and the parking lot was bi9 enough then� wf�y tf�e need for more parking now? Ms. �udlicki stated the building has not been expanded. Since it was built in 1970, however, tfiere fiave been a 1ot of internal changes in the buildinq, They are receiving residents into the home who require much more care than they did in 1970-1975-1979. Hospitals have to discharge patients much sooner. They are getting people who are almost in the critical state. 7his repuires more staff and services to care for the residents, and th�t means more cars. They have done a lot to encourage family participation, family care conferences, family events, etc. They want the residents to feel part of a family unit, a�d so the families have to get to tfie nursing home. With a new parkinq lot for employees, they would be able to add more handicapoed parkinq. Many empioyees park on Madison St. now in order to free up parking spaces for visitors. This isn't just a tsnporary problem; it has been going on for a long time. They, too, are concerned for tf�e safetv of the children. Thev have checked with an elementary school about school scfiedules, and the employees would be cominq and leaving before and after the chiidren are walking to from school. t4r. Larson stated that when the Second sfiift at the nursing home gets out, the children from Spring Lake Park High School are coming home. Ms. Dorothy Artmann* 254 Rice Creek Boulevard, stated she was an employee at the Fridley Convalescent Home, and also had a loved one living in the nursinq home, There are a lot of Fridley empioyees who have �ut up with a lot of inconvenience with the parking. Hhen you care about someone being able to visit a resident, then you don't park in the lot. She stated her aunt was a resident at the nursing home, and her mother is elderly. It is hard for her mother to walk; and if the weather is not good, then her mather does not visit her aunt, which means her aunt is denied a visit. There were onlv three people to visit her aunt--her sister, her mother, and herself. Ms. Artmann stated they were not asking the people on Lyric Lane to be inconvenienced. The hosoital and the nursing home were there before the homeowners. Children can also create a problem for traffic, She stated they really need a parking lot. Some day she may be a resident in that nursing hane, and if they do not get it the way tf�ey want it now, they will not have it. Mr. Jdhn Haines, 448 Rice Lreek Blvd., stateA he would like to make a few ca�me�ts from the hospital perspective. They recognize that part of the problem is because of the expansion going on right now at Unity Nospital, but they are Lrying to correct those problems. He stated they are trying to be good neigh- bors. Right now there is no doctors` 1ot, as such, betause they had to take over part of the employee lot for the doctors. There is also expansion on the professional building to the west. All this exnansion should be done bv sumner and hopefu]ly that will help with the traffic and parking problem. Mr. Haines stated they have tried to maintain the landscaping between the hospital and the neighbors. They have been canpl�mented on it. Sometimes, w6en the neighbors are crowded for parking snace, they will use the hosp`tal parkinq lot for extra space. PLANNIt�G COMMISSION MEETING, MAY S, 1985 PAGE 8 Mr, Haines stated he had one other concern, and he has tried to get Anoka County to look at this problem, He believed a lot of traffic was added from the hospital from Madison St, east. Cars wiil come down to Lyric Lane because they can get out on Osborne and make a left hand turn because there are stop signs there. He stated they cannot seem to get stop signs installed at Madison St. and Osborne. The congestion gets so bad on Madison tryin9 to make a left hand turn that many peaple are qoing to take Lyrfc Lane, He stated he had talked to Paul McCarron, Anoka Couniy Comnissioner, about this problem last fall, Mr. McCarron had said he would see that a traffic study was done on Madison and Osborne, but one has not been done yet. He stated he did believe that stop signs on Osborne and Madison would help with a lot of the traffic on Lyric Lane. Ms. Edna Barsness, 7589 Lvric Lane, st�ted she is a registered nurse and works at Unity Hospital, She knCws a lot of the patTents from her station do go to the nursing home. Before she was a nurse, she was a nursfnq assistant in a nursing home and her mother resided in a nursinq h�me so she was not aqainst the nursing ho�e. She was against the parking lot with access onto Lyric Lane. The nursing home operates 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week, 3fi5 davs/year. School is not in session all year, and the children are out in the street ridinq bikes, etc, She stated you can sav that most of the children are old enouqh to know 6etter, but what about the little children who do not know better, The aoart- ment building poses a concern also beCause there are many youngsters in that compiex, some very yo�ng, and they have very few places to plaV. She was amazed that nc one had qotten hurt, as many of the children cross the street. Ms. Barsness stated she believed that if the nursing home got access onto Lyric Lane, the apartment building woutd want access, too, and that would pose a lot more traffic. Ms. Barsness stated it was her understanding that it was not possible for the nursino home to get access onto Lyric Lane without special permission. If the Fridiev Convalescent No�e knew that, why was the storage shed built there and why was the beautiful patio buiit there without any thought to where they were going to get access? This just did not make sense to her. Ms. Barsness stated she did not especially want a �arking lot across the street from her, but if they have to have it, then she didn't want access off Lvric La�e. and the parking lot would have to be well bounded so that no cars could drive across the grass. She hoped the City would maintain its policv and vote against any access onto Lyric Lane. Mr. Charlie Johanson, 424 Rice Creek Slvd., stated that even if they moved the garage, he dtd not think there was enough room to put a two-car driveway behind the building. There was only 33 ft. from the building to the corner at the narrowest point. Ms. Schnabel asked if the fridley Convatescent Home had discussed the possi- bility of purchasing a little section of land from the proparty owners to th� north. PLANNING COMHISSION �EETING, MAY 8, 1965 PAr,E 9 Mr. Johanson stated they have talked to the property owners to the north, but they are also sfiort of parking. Ms. 5chnabel stated that she would think that if there was any possibility of acquirinq that small section, it would certainly enhance the nursing home's chances of putting in the wider driveway. Mr, Johanson stated the nursing home also had another option, and that was to come off Madison and go in front of the buildinq. Mr. Julian Boyda, 7543 Lyric Lane, stated he moved to Lyric Lane in 1972, and it was his understandinq the nursing home was not going to be expanded. He stated the neighbors opposed the expansion proposal five years ago, and they still ooposed tfie acCess caninq out onto Lyric Lane. He state� he loved children, and he was very concerned about the children because of the traffic. Ms. Norma Wetterberg stated her mother was a resident of the Fridley Convalescent Home. She used to park in the �ot, but now there is nowhere to oark. She is one of the people who have had to park on Lyric Lane. She stated she would like the Planning Commission to give Serious consideration to allowing an entrance to the proposed parking lot from Lyric Lane. Mr. Michael Boo, 2810 57th Ave. N„ stated he was repr2senting the Fridlev Convalescent Home. He stated he would like to again sumnarize their position. The reason why the request is before the Planning Commission and why it is appropriate that the Planning Cocmission act on it at this meeting as opoosed to the proposal five years ago was because of the thanges in the area, pressures from Unity Hospital and its expansion, the takinG away of parking space that was normallv allowed and that is no longer available, Those things are not goinq to change. fridley itself has expanded in ways it could not fiave envisioned even five years ago. The nursing fiome has become basically an acute care nursinq center with an increase in staff as a result, and clearly there was the need for the parking lot. Mr, Boo stated the question seems to come down to (1) the relationship to the apartment building, and he was not sure that was an issue here. The �ressures the nursing home is feeling are both internal and from the west, and the aoert- ment building is not under those same pressures; {2) access across the back onto Madisor, He wanted to sumnarize a few staterients made earlier, and that was that space is currentty being used for emergency access and loading and unloading of supplies. Tfiere is a garage there with a foundation. There is a patio that is being used by the residents quite fr?quently which sugqests the possible safety hazards to the residents �rom the traffic; (3} the comment was - made of why were tfie patio and garage located tfiere? He stated he did not think the nursing fiome people foresaw what kind of expansion would occur. Per6aps that was an oversigfit on the part of the develooers, but perhaps no one could have foreseen the trends that have taken and are taking place. Mr. Boo stated that regarding the access off Madison St., extensive fi11 would have to be brought in to build out to the property line. It was a very PLANNING C�NIMISSION MEETII�6, MAY 8, 19$5 PAGF 10 expensive proposition; it raises safety hazards for emergency access and to the resfdents, and it was a tight and difficult access that he did not think Moutd be adequate. Ms. Judlicki stated she wouid like to introduce Leota Herylu, a resident and President of the Resident Council, who would like a moment to SPeak to the Commission. Ms. Herylu stated she had been a patient at Unity Hospital who couldn't return home so Fridley Convatescent Nome became her permanent home. She staied her family comes to vSsit, and they do not have a place to park, and they cannot get in back to pick her up. She stated it would be nice for the emoloyees to have their own parking lot so the visitors could get closer to pick uo the residents for outings. She stated the residents were all in favor af the emptoyee parking lot. Mr. Saba stated he has seen a lot of situations where additional parking can be made available by having a remote parkin9 lot and a shuttle bus service. He asked if this possibility had been considered. It would eliminate the need for a parking lot for the eMployees, or the visitors could even use the shuttle service. Mr. Boo stated it was something that could be considered; however, there are sometimes a Tot of costs built into something like that and businesses for profit can afford those costs easier than businesses that are not for profit. That might be the reason why this was not possible in this case. Mr. Minton asked if the Fridley Convalescent Home had given any consi�ieration to expanding the parking lot on the west down to Lyric Lane. Ms. Judlicki stated they expanded the parking lot once in 1976, and the Citv to]d them at th:at time that it was the closest they could come to Lvric Lane. MOTION BY MR. MINTON, SECONDED BY MR. OpUIST, TD CLOSE TXE PUBLIC NEAP.IP:G ON SP N85-03� FRIDLEY CONVRLESCENT XOME, BY HETTY J. WALL. UPON A VOZCE VOTE, ALL VOTZNG AY£, CHAIRWOMAN SCHNhBEL DECLARED TNE PUALIC NEARZhG CZASED AT 9:00 P.M. Mr. Robinson stated he realized the City Staff`s solution was not the cheanest or the easiest, but they did spend a good deal of time on site and felt that with the appropriate engineering, their suggestion coutd be accomplished. He did not feel there has been any real significant study done on this proposal, and maybe that should be done. Mr, Kondrick stated he definitely felt the nursing home needed a new parkinq lot. The issue here was whether access shoutd be off Lyric Lane or not. In visiting the site and looking it over, he felt there was enough room to accommodate a wider drivet�ay. Nowever, before he couid make any kind of recomnendation, he would want to make sure there was room for a semi-trailer and a car, They also need to know a"ball park" figure of how large a cost the Citv would be imposing on the nursing home. PLANNIqG COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 8, 1985 PAGE 11 Mr, Oquist stated he agreed, He could see the need for the parking lot, but before he could vote on it, he would like to see the feasibility of the drive- way coming across the back of the property from Madison with a cost estimate. Ne thought access onto Lyric Lane did pose a prob7em, Ns. Schnabel asked what the timetable was for the parking lot. Ms. Judlick stated they were hoping to have the Rarkinq lot completed bv earlv fall, Ms. Schnabel stated if the Planning Commission were to table this item, there would be time for the Fridiey Convalescent staff and City Staff to conduct a study on the feasibility of the driveway behind the building and put toqether sane cost figures.

Mr, Robinson sLated the proposal was for mi�i-storage facilfties--two 1o�n buildinqs, approx. 42,300 sq. ft. of storage space. The structures wi11 t� 705 ft, long eac� separated with fire wa!ls as per code. Cars wi11 ent� north of 77th. There is two-way traffit througfiout the entire complex. ere is approx. 10 ft, green area on the west and 5 ft. of areen �rea on th� st, The waterworks easement will stay green at the City's request. Therf would be a small office/residential facility in the northwest corner � t�e property for a live-in caretaker for the facility. There would be �;r nark- tng stalls adjoining the office/residence. There would be 22 nar��,7 stalls required for a development of this siie. But, because there is i`tle need for parking, four stdlls are all that will be put in. There wr. � be addittonal parking area if it would become a problem. He stated the en* area will be fenced with e 6 ft. high chain ]ink fence with 6 strands of .: e for a totaT of 7 ft. Mr, Robinson stated Staff was recomnending the following stipulations: ], Redwood or cedar slats and vines to be installed in fencinq alor.q right-o�-:aays and to 150 ft back from all four fence corners. Additional screening to be provided dependinq on future deve�opment. 2. Develoner to work with the Cfty to achieve a satisfactory landscaoe plan. 3.

Mr. Minton asked who would approve the rental agreement--the Planning Comnission or City Staff. He would have a concern if the Planning Commission was supposed to approve the rental agreement. Mr, Robinson stated Staff could approve the rental agreement. Ms. Schnabel stated she was concerned about puttinq a residential dwelling in M-2 zoning. Mr, Robinson stated it was an al)owa6le use.;dwelling in an M-2 zone for a watch person is considered an accessory use. Mr, McAdam stated he had no probiems witf� tf�e stipulations, He was aqainst the redwood or cedar slats in the fencing only becuase they are easily broken, Mr. McAdam stated some of the storage garages in surroundinq areas have lights on the interior. He stated he was not providing interior lighting. There will be electric outlets on tfie exterior every 40 ft, so if someone wanted to get into a storage garage at night, the caretaker would provide a trouble light. He stated the renters will not be allowed to store any flamrt�able materials. He stated this is one of the cleanest businesses, because it does n�t create any pollution or traffic and is a very small burden on the Fire Dept, and Police Dept. It may even clean up the City as it will provide storaqe for people. MOTTCW AY MR. OQUIST, SECONDED BY HR. HIN^`ON� TD CLOSF. TNE PUBLIC HEARI,ti'G ON P,S.

REVIEW OF AN ORDINANLE RECODIFYING THE FRIOLEY LITY CODE BY ADOPTI!iG A NEW E E I P G I I IRE Y: Mr. Nielsen stated he had a problem with this ordinance because the City enforces the ordinance for some people and not for others. He felt the ordinance had no vatue whatsoever if it is not enforced equally. Mr. Robinson stated that in the past, there has not been much in the ordinance that addressed boulevards, and they wanted to strengthen the boulevard cleanliness issues so they put sometfiing in the ardinance about the boulevards, especially about dumping on the boulevards. Mr, Robinson stated Section 105.04 had a timetable for the mai�tenance of doulevard areas, which was a big change from the first ordinance. PLANNING C0141ISSION MEETING. MAY 8, 1985 PAGE 15 Mr. Oquist referred to Section 105,04,2, A, B, C, which gave the three cutting dates, Nowever Section 1GS.OA,3 stated that "noxious weeks or use]ess vege- tation shall be cut so as not to allow growth to exceed a greater height than ten (lp} inches on the average during these time periods". Mr. Oquist stated the weeds are gaing to grow higher than 10 inches between each of the cutting times listed. He felt the ordinance should be a little stronger..either the � cutting times or 10 incfies, whichever comes first. Ms. Schnabel stated she had one concern about cutting along the boulevards and that was concerning "nesting" areas. In the rural areas, people are asked not to cut on the sides of the roads until certain dates because of �estinq areas. She thought the State had a program that encourages people to not cut until after a certain date in order to encourage wildtife. She stated Fridley does have a certain amount of wildlife, a�d maybe they should be eonsidering the potential problem of disturbing nesting areas. This is some- thing that should be checked into. Mr. Oquist referred to Section 105.08 ASSESSMENT, which included the statement: "The actual cost of such cutting and removal, plus up to twenty-five (25) �ercent for inspection and other additional costs..." He stated why say up to 25%"? Why not set a certain percentage? How is the City going to �rmine what the "up to" is? It is ratfier subjettive, Mr, Minton agreed. He siated if people have been warned and still dn not comply with the notice of violation, then they should have to pay the extra surcharge. The surcharge shouldn't vary. MOTZON BY MR.

It depended on what type of screeninq they were talking about and where it was located. Mr. Oquist stated the Community Development Comnission had discussed this and felt screening of dishes should be required. He stated that a lot of this wording came from sample ordinances and that require�nent was included. Mr. Minton stated he agreed witf� screening; however, he would like to see not only "right of way and adjacent properties" included, but also park nroperties. Ms. Schnabel stated she questioned Section 208.03.5. Special Use Permit. She would rather see tfiem use the variance process, rather than the special use permit process. The variance process was a little �leaner. Mr, Robinson stated they should publish this new ordinance in the next city newsletter so oeople are aware of it. XOTION BY HR.

Mr. Oquist stated the President of Blue Bell Ice Cream, Int., was at their meeting asking the City to change tf�e noise ordinance to allow them to operate their trucks. According to the ordinance, tfiey cannot even rin,r� the bell on their ice cream trucks. They fiave gone to other cammunities, and other communities are changing tfieir ordinances. t4r. Oquist stated the Community Developme�t Commission made a motion askina the City Councii to allow 21ue Scll to operate in the City until the ordinance can be changed. He would like tfie Planning Co�ronission to concur with that request. Mr. Oquist stated this request was to allow only Blue Be11 Ice Crear� Co. to operate in the City with a beTl. Mr.Minton questioned why an exception to the ordinance shoutd be made for one company. He would want it to be generic for any companv, Mr. Oquist stated the ordTnance change would be for any tomoany. The reason the motion was company-specific was because it was a specific request. Mr. Saba stated he had no problem with the ice cream vendor driving up and down the streets seliinq ice cream, but he did not want other vendors drivinq up and down streets selling shrimp, paintinqs, fish, etc. Mr, Oquist stated the only issue regarding this request was the bell (the sound), Mr. Robinson stated one of the restrictions proposed for the ordinance was that the "vendor wilt not sell on major thorotighfares as discussed with Staff". He stated he had a problem with "major thoroughfares". Were they talki�g about tF�e major higfiways? What about very busy streets such as 7Lh St, and Mississippi St.?

Discussion Concerning Proposed Mental Health Facility in fridley Mr. Kondrick stated he had watched the Citv Council meeting on Cable TV on Monday, April 17, He stated he felt that after hearing the testimonv PLANNING LOMMISSION MEETIN6, lIAY 8 L 1995 PA&E 20 at the April 3 Planning Commission meetinq both from Lhe neighbors and others in the audie�ce, in lieu of tRe information the Comnissioners had received regarding past experientes for tf�is kind of facilit,y in the Lity of Brooklyn Center, and also the fact tfiat he serves on a Commission with very sharp people who asked good, probing, interesting questions, he felt the Cottmiss'on had been slighted. He felt the Planning Cor�mission was looked down upon at the City Council meeting as a"bunch of dummies" wfio acted rashly on inPormation, Mr. Kondrick stated one City Councilman said he, too, was "shocked" at the outcome of the Planning Commission's decision. Mr. Kondrick stated he felt the P.lanning Comnission's decision was not shocking at all. It was a very difficult decision to make, and he felt they acted on the information they had and were satisfied with the action they took at that meeting. Mr, Kondrick stated he felt confident serving on this Commission with people who are interesting, smart, we11 versed in the Citv, carinq, who can make decisions without politics always befng involved� and who always have the best interests of the people at heart. He was oroud to serve on this Commission, and he dfd not think t�ey had done a bad thinq or should be considered as making "shocking" decisions on the facts that they had before them at that meeting. Mr. Kondrick stated he resented the Planninc� Corrnission being vdewed as a bunch of dumnies. If that was the feelinq, then ma,ybe there shouldn't 6e a Planning Commission. Mr. Saba stated what bothered him was there were some statements made that the City Council was not sure the court decision in the Citv of Brook]yn C�nter would even affect Frid7ey. Yet, the Attorney General of the State of Minnesota made the statement that not even an R-1 district can deny this type of faci]ity. That statement was made on television as part of the WCCQ special on mental health. Mr. Oquist stated that informatiort was also provided to the Planninq Commission in the forn of a memo from the City Attorney. Mr. Saba stated that if that memo 6ad no relevance in the Planninn Commission's decision, then that memo should not have been given to them. Mr. Minton stated he felt the Cortenission did their job extremely con- scientiously. If a City Council member made the statement Mr. Kondrick had stated, then he felt it was up to that City Council person to exolain that statement to the Planning Comission. As he remembered the testi- mony at the April 3 Planning Commission meeting, he felt it fell into certain categories such as: (lj It was 6ad for the neighborhood; (2) It was dangerous to the children; (3; Tf�e house was not appropriate; and (4} It was bad for business including rental property and day care providers ih tF�e area. _ ___ _ANNIi�G COMMI5510N MEETIN6, MAY 8, 1985 PAGE 21 Mr, Minton stated he did not think anv af the reasons he had heard had merit. There were studies to refute almost everything they said. The only consideration was fear, and if the Comr�ission had given into that, it would be perpetuating a stigma and a stereotyping that is not justified. For ooliticians who want to be re-elected, it might take more courage far them to come to the same Conclusion; but he thought it was awfuily impartant that they do. Otherwise, they, too, will be helping perpetuate these kinds of stereotvpes. , Mr. Kondrick agreed. He hoped the City Council had the courage to aqree rri th the Planning Comnission's decision, Ms. Schnabel stated she found tfie prograr�s on WCCO, Channel 4, very enlightening, and she had great hopes they would help the neighbors and certain members of the Council come to some conclusions that mavbe this mental healtf� facility was not a detrimental tfiing to any neighborhooei_--that these people are kind, loving, ihdividuals, wfio need sor�e guidance and help along the way, and that they shouldn't be feared nor should a facilitv like this he feared in any neigh6orfiood. But, she did not see that the program helped change anyone's mind, Sfie found it additionally informative over the.inforrtt�tion they fiad received at tfie Flanninq Conmission meetino and it helped reconfirm the decision they had made. She felt the infor+na- tion had been very valuable in that sense. Ms. Schnabel stated she had tilked to to someone who lives near this neighborhood and who could not be at tf�e April 3 Planning Cor�mission meeting, Ms. Scf�nabel had asked her reaction of the situation, and this person had stated she really had a hard time with the State mandatina something that comes down into the local neighborhood telling them what they have to have in their neighborhood--that they have no choice in the matter. Ms. Schnabel stated that in some ways, she could understand that viewpoint, and it was a valid concern, It was one of the very few really legitimate expressions she had heard. Mr. Oquist stated the State is mandating it, but if the City can prove the health, safety, welfare, kind of thing, then the City can deny it, If they didn't have those kinds of restriction5 or governmental interferences, then that says we should no longer have biacks in our neighborhoods or that we should no longer have handicapped pe�ple in our neighborhoods, etc. There has to be some control or thev can become very restrictive. He stated he was against government interference, but it has to be somethinq to protect the messes, rather than the individuals. Mr, Minton stated when it comes to the matter of AuMan rights and civil rights, then the government has an obligation to play a role.'

OL� BUSINESS: a. Consideration of the use of data involving people in the City of Fridley Mr, Minton stated it was the main concern of the Numan Resources Commission that there would be some protection of the privacy of the people of Fridley so the Commission wou7d like to know what kind of information or data is being gathered, especially in terms of people as opposed to property. what kind of information can be gathered from that data, and what pro�ection the City is taking for the citizens of Fridley, Mr, Inman stated this was a topic the City is currently reviewing and has been for a litt7e while with little success. He stated he was very excited about the Commission's interest in becoming involved, because the task in his department, because of the way it is organized, is to be non-bureaucratic efficient, cost effective, and provide information to both citizens, politicians, and staff. That was in direct conflict with the issues the Commission is concerned about. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETIN6, MAY 2, 1985 PAGE3 Mr. Inman stated many times those oeople involved with computers do not even look at the issues, which tfiey shoutd, and that was one reason why his department was very happy that the Commission wanted to become involved, He stated if the Comnission was volunteering to scrutinize what they put an the computer, they wouid welcome that input. However, he would warn the Commission that it was a Tong-term project. The City of fridley is probably the leader in data processing and witfiin the next 5-10 years every community is going to have at least one or twa CRT's on everyone's desk. Mr. Inman stated the demand they have for information is overwhelming. Tfie demand for information that citizens can get from the City was also overwfielming, The problem�was the reference to "big brother", Ne stated they are not "big brother"; tfiey only put on the computer what people want to get back. Either politicians, citizens, or other agencies ask to store and retrieve information, and that is how the information gets on the computer. Mr, Inman stated that in the next six months. they are going to quickly move into an area which he thought the Comniss4on would be interested in. Right now, the Commissio� would probably find the information rather boring and mundane, other than poiice information which is a whole other area. Mr. Inman stated the typical data processing shop has a centrat computer with a lot of programmers and analysts and a lot of control; and they are very tightly scrutinized. In his opinion, that was very inefficient and very costly. In the City's case, they have what is cailed decentralized distributed data processing. The users themselves control their own destiny; his department merely he]ps them with design, backs uR the system in the evening, and issues reports. For example, the Fire Dept, brought their system up about tfiree years ago, and Central Services has not done anything for them yet. 7he advantage of tfiis is it costs about 1/4 of what it would cost in the other environment. Tfie disadvantage is there is no central control over what is produced. Mr, Inman stated the real issue becomes in keeping daia elements off the system in the first place, rather than trying to control that information once it is on the system. They, in their industry, have a tendency to put everything on the system just in case someone might ask for it. That is where the Co�nissian could be very helpful. He woutd also show the Comnission an example of the tists they come up with. Mr. Inman stated that regarding computer security, no matter how secure they try and make the computer system, there is always another person who can break it down, There is a real fear of the "hackers". He stated this is an area he cannot control no matter how 6ard �e tries, so their apnroach is going to be or try to be to keep as much sensitive data elements as possible aff the system and really scrutinize why people need the information they request. Mr. Belgum asked Mr, Inman who te11s his department what to put on the computer. HU�tAN RES�URCES COh�tISSION MEETING;"MAY 2, 19B5 PAGE 4 Mr, Inman stated tfiey put on or design what a city department says it needs. They do not look at it in terms of the negative e]ement; they look at it in terms of information, He stated the Public Informat4on Law was quite clear on what tfie City has to provide to tfie public; however, it does not te71 them how they have to provide t6at information. Mr. Inman stated they �ave had some requests from the Planning Department to put on census tract data which is readi7y available at Anoka County, That data contains a lot of information about the citize^s of fridley, He stated they have not gotten this information at tfiis tdme. Mr. Inman showed tfie Commissioners a sample of a design document they now have running calied Municipal Unified Data Base (MUD). Mr. Inman stated the City gets catls almost daily from vacuum cleaner sales- people, softwater conditioner salespeople, etc., wanting lists of oeoole's names. He stated the City is very protective and refuses to release that information even though it is public informatfion, The City Council and his de�artment has set up a city policy that tfiey do not want the citizens of Frldley inundated and are willing to risk the possibility of a court case. These salespeople are told they can cnme to Citv Hall and wr4te down that information, Mr, Hunt stated the Data Practices Act says that any information the City has is public information unless there is specific ]egislatton to the contrary. Mr. Belgum asked Mr. Inman what he would like to see the Commission doing for the City. Mr. Inman stated he would like to see the Corrrnission possibly review lists of the eiements (not the data itself) that are currently stored, Mr. Minton asked Mr. Inman if he could give the Cortmission a tist of a11 the different kinds of data that is on the computer. Mr. Inman stated he would get that list together for the Commission, He stated he would really like to see the Commission p]ay the "Devrl's Advocate". If the Corrmission questions why some data is being stored, they shouid tell the City. The City is really in need of someone to ':watchdog" them. They do not do it themselves because it fs not their objective. Mr. Minton stated that after the Commission revfews the data, they can discuss it and maybe come up with some policy recommendations for the City. Mr. Billings stated one thing mentioned 6y Mr. Inman was that maybe the Conmission coutd review all the new things that go on to the computer. He stated that could be a tremendous task, and he could see the Commissioners'� spending a great deal of time on this subject, He stated maybe there should I be a separate body or a panel of city employees (an organized mechanism) who are responsible for that review. __. _ . . . . . _ ... .,. . HUPIAN RESOIJRCES�CEMtMiSSTETN'Id£fTTNt;��'NIAW�`2��9$S`� �"`""��,""` " ""'PAGE 5 Mr. Minton stated that was an issue tfiey could discuss and there might be some type of policy recommendation tfiey could come up wiifi regardinq this. Ms, Sherek siated sf�e did not tfiink tf�e Commission wanted to get into the business of reviewing every program the City wants to put on the system. She thought they could come up witf� some tYpe of policy statement that there 6as to be sane justification for anyone to have additional informa- ttb n put on the system, If it is a minor addition, sfie did not think the Comnission would want to hold the City up for an application that would take 2Q-30 hours to develop. Sfie agreed with Mr. Minton. The Commission should be looking at policies, and those policies had to be developed by someone independent of the operation. Mr. Minton thanked Mr. Inman for coming to the meeting. b, Consideration of public information ahout No-Fault Grievance Corrmittee Mr. Minton stated he has been informed of an employee discrimination case. He stated that since the Commission fias been made aware of this case, he would try to ca11 a meeting of tfiree of the ffive people trained to handle and dispose of the case. Mr. Hunt stated that what they would hope to accomplish through the No- Fault Grievance Committee was to get the employee and employer together to try to come to some resolution wit(�out the grievant having to file the case with the 5tate Department of Human Rights. The grievant has four months in which to fiie his/her case before the State Department of Human Rights so the whole purpose of the No-Fault Grievante Comnittee is to act as quickty as possible. If the case cannot be resolved, the grievant can still file wit6 tfie State Department of Human Rights.

Mr. Hunt stated he got the imoression that the State would like to have someone from the Comnission to be the convener or at least a contact person with the No-fault Grievance Cortrnittee. Mr. Minton stated he could be the convener of the meeting; hnwever he was not trained in the grievance process. He stated he would contact the 5tate and check into this. HUMAN RESOURCfS COMMISSION MEETING; MAq 2; 1985" PAGE 6 Mr. Billings suggested Mr, Mfnton contact all five of the No-Fau1t Grievance Comnittee members to make sure that all five were stili willing to serve on the Committee and to make sure tfiey all still lived in the City of Fridley. He stated the Comnission might want to think about training some more people for this comnittee. c. Consideration of t�e Mentatly I11 Issue Mr. Minton stated that at t4e April 3, 1985, planning Commission meetinq, the Commission listened to a proposal for a special use permit to allow a mental heaith fdcility in the City of Fridiey. He stated that as he had tried to categorize the resnonses from the neighbors opposed to the facility, he felt the responses feli into three categories: 7, Having mentally ill peoole in the neighborhood woutd pose some danger to the children and would depreciate property values. 2. T�e proposed facitity was inadequaie and tfiey felt this facility sbould be in commercial zoning, 3. It was going to be detrimental to business interests in the area such as rental values and day care providers. Mr, Minton stated everyone spoke in terms of tfie prograin being very worth- rthile and they were not aga�nst t�e mentally ill, theg just did not want tfiem in the neighborhood. Mr. Minion stated that, in his own mind, he did not think these reasons fiad anq merit in themselves, except for the emotional fear they generated, He stated the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that the request for a special use permit be approved. Mr. Minton stated that if the Comnission was in support of this facilitv, it might be appropriate for the Commission to make a statement to the City Council indicating the Commission's support, Ms. Sherek stated she lived in 5outh Minneapolis for eigfit years within three blacks of three mental health facilities--two board and care faci7it9es and one treatment facility. She had to honestly say she did not know those facilities were even there untit four years �ater. She stated all the fears are real, but if the City allows this to be defeated based on peopie's fears, they are just perpetuating it. The otherpart of that should be the fear that if the appropriate facility is not established, the people who should be in a controlled living environment will not be and may not be properiy supervised, She thought it was very appropriate for the Commission to make some kind of statement to the City Council, HUMAN RESOURCES COMh1ISSI0N MEETING, MAY 2 1985 PAGE 7 Mr. Billings stated he only wt'Sfied he had li3tened to the testimony before the City Council with a different view. As he listened to it, he was listening with the point of view that f�e was glad he did not have to make the decision. He now questioned whether he was really knowledgeable enough to make an honest decision as to whether, in fact, he supported it or did not support it. He also questioned the appropriateness of whether or not the Comnission should be making a recorranendation to the City Council from the standpoint that it was the purpose of tf�e Plannir.g Comnission to make recommendations to t6e City Council and the ultimate decision is the City Council's. He was not certain the Comnission had a11 the informa- tion that will be availa6le to the City Council, and he questioned the appropriateness of the•Commission's support for this particular facility at this particular location, Mr. Minton stated he felt it was a very appropr{ate subject for this Corrrnission to be addressing. This item was scheduled to be heard by the Human Resources Comnission, but because of timing, had gone on to the Planning Commission. UPON A VDICE VOTE, ALL VOTING d. Ethnic Issues Mr, Belgum stated he would invite Mr, Reuther to the July meeting. Discussion continued until the July meeting. NEW BUSINESS: a. Consideration of proposals from human service organizations for 1985 CDBG funds Mr. Nunt stated they have received requests from ten organizations for 1985 CDBG funds in the amount of �76,651. On1y $19,176 was available for distribution. Mr. Minton stated that at this meeting the Commission should talk a 1ittle about each organization and its reGuest and put together a list of questions for each organization. These questions should be forwarded to the organizations prior to their coming before the Comnissron at a special meeting. HUNAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 2, 1485 PAfE 8 _ _ ... ............__.__...._. .. ......_.... Anoka County Community Action Prdgram; Inc, - amount requested -$4,388 Mr. Hunt stated tfiis money was for a Senior OutreaC� Wor&er, It was the remainder of what the City granted them lasi year. Because 1984 funds had to be expended by Dec. 31, 1985, Anoka County CAP cut their funding back to the four montf�s from Sept, i to Dec. 31, 1985. The Comnissioners had no pro6lems with this request. Alexandra House - amaunt requested $3,000 Mr, Hunt stated tf�is money was for a comnunity education program. Questions: i, How many people in Frid]ey wi11 this community education program have an impact on? 2, Have they made any effort io coordinate with the four school systems in Fridley? 3. Expand on the physical implernentation of the community education program. 4. More informatiDn on future plans for iniervention program. Suburban Consumer Advocates for the Handicapped . Mr. Hunt stated this was a very new organization. The request was for $55D for equipment, $Z00 for staff and office supplies, and $450 for two 4 hr. Section 504 workshops. Questions� 1, How many people in Fridley are going to be affected by the Section 504 workshops, $450 of which would be funded with Fridley funds? 2. Mr. Minton stated that a few years ago, the Human Resources Commission devetoped a booklet on fridley public buildinqs and their accessibi7ity to the handicapped. Does th5s organization have any pians for working with the Commission in the future? How will they cooperate wit6 t6e Comnission`s concerns for the Fiandicapped? Do they fiave any plans for coordinating their interests with the Comnission? 3. What is their present 1eve1 of activity? If the#r staff is strictly volunteer, to what extent are they active? There was some indication they had applied to Anoka County for funding for personnel, Had that funding for staffing come through from Anoka County? If not, how are t6ey going to operate? HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 2 1985 PAGE 4 _..__ ....... ...... .... Rainbow School and GFii1d Care Center -a mount requested -$34,863 Mr. Hunt stated Rainbow School and Cfiild Care Center is requesting funding for a11 child care for all 14 cFiildren from low income families. He had assumed tfiey would request some type af help to just supplement the funds lost, Ms. Sherek stated sFie thnught wlwt Rainbow Scfiool was requestin9 did not seem reasonable. She thought one problem might have been that the school had misunderstood what the Gortmission wanted. On the other hand, she felt looking for CDBG funds instead of trying to induce Anoka County to participate in the state sliding fee funds was an unreasonable thinq to do. The CDBG funds should be a"stop gap" measure and not an ongoing source of funding. Ms. Sherek stated it was not the City`s 6usfnesS to get into a sttuation like this where there are other funds available such as the sliding fee scale. If Anoka County chooses not to participate, it is up to the day care centers to pressure Anoka County to participate. Then, if there is still a gap for people who don't quite qualify for whatever reason, it might be appropriate to apply for a sma11 amount of funds. Mr. Minton and Mr. Beigum agreed. uestfons: What efforts have been made by Rainbow School to try to induce Anoka County to participate in the state sliding fee scale funds? Has there been any effort to join with other day care fproviders in this effort as Anoka County has a very active day care association. Fridley Senior Citizen Center - amount requested -$6,700 Mr, Hunt stated that �4,000 of the amount requested was for a staff person beginning in June 1986. Mr. Minton stated he had a problem wit(� CDBG funds going for staff which was a whole year away, If there are funds next year. they coutd anply at that time. Ms. Sherek stated she was concerned because tt±ere appeared to be a con- siderabie overlap with the 3enior Outreach Program with Anoka County CAP, Questions: 1, Is there an overlapping of services? 2. 7he information talked about the number of Fridley residents to be served. In tigfit of the fact that tf�is seer�s to be a high amount of funding, is it a high number in relation to the number of low income Fridley residents that wfll be served. HUNAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, PoAY 2, 1985 PAGE 10 3. No indiCdtion of otfier funding befng solicited on an ongoing basis. 4.

Park Division Report - Mr, John Flora Mr. Flora stated there was some question by the Parks & Recreation Commission about what was being done in the community park area. He stated that to help answer that question, he had provided the Commission with a memo (PW 85-111) dated April 25, 1985, re Park Improvements. Mr. Flora stated what the Public Works Dept, is trying to do at this time is maintain a"status quo". He stated tf�ey would like to work with Dr. Boudreau and the Parks & Recreation Comnission to put together a plan of v�hat tkey woul d 1 i ke to see in tf�e parks, and wFiat tf�e vari ous pri ori ti es are within tf�e parks, They can tfren put these tfiings into the budget to try to get thP new things and have a goal of what they should be getting, He felt tfiat once this was established, they would have a program and some very specific things to work on for each year, and it wiil help make sure that whatever they are doing wi11 be working towards that end. Mr. Flora stated that right now the,y have just been trying to focus on the maintenance. They did retain a college student during the winter in order for him to conduct an inventory of all tfie equipment in the qarks, the condition of the equipment, and the location of the equipment, They wi71 use that inf�rmation ta determine what their inventory is, look at Yhe age and conditian of the equipment, and whetfier it sfiould be retained, upgraded, or removed. It wi11 serve as a basic maintenance document. He stated copies of this documeni were given to Dr. Boudreau. He stated he hoped that through the process of park planning, they will be able to high- light what they are looking for in each park. Mr. Ftora stated that internally, they have had a Iot of problems at the comnunity park, because over the years they have gone through a number of I revisions, He thought part of the problem was the going from Parks & 8ecreati�n to Recreation Maintenance, A tot of things that were internally PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 6, 1985 PAGE 3 being digested as far as the goal or the plan was not visually or verbally eresented to be adopted, So, what they are trying to do is get a plan for every park of what is desired and then set the priorities to get there. Mr. F1ora stated the concept of the community park was to do a lot of earth- work to create a bermed area to keep the noise, lights, and concentration of activity separated from the neighbors to the south and west. The essential construction did the physical plan as far as the earth work. They followed a year later with the concession building. They are now putting the final touches on the concession building. They put in a new water line this spring and are now putting an additional cancrete apron around it to help with the drainage, They are planning for an addltional parking lot for about 100 cars. This is included in the draft 1986 budget, but he did �ot know wfien it would happen. Mr, flora stated they have 6een working with the Jaycees and were in agree- ment that there s'iould be some place for children to play while the adults are playing ball. They made a quick outline of the area between field #4 and the future parking lot expansion wfiich would provide tot lot, middle age group, and older age group activities. They have thought of putting in some picnic tables--a place for people who are playing ball to spend some time, Mr. Flora stated they have put togetfier some rough num6ers of the costs of the playground area and have provided those to the Jaycees. Mr, Flora stated this will be the first real year that the community park will be used to the maximum so they wi17 be abie to get a good handle on what will be needed after this year. Mr. Y�ung asked that in the areas between the fields on the hiltside, was there any plan to put in trees? He felt trees would really beautify the park and would provide some shade within a few years. Mr. Flora stated there was no plan at this time, but this was one of the reasons why he was asking for input from the Comnission. Mr. Allen asked what the plans were as far as bleachers. There has to be something to accomrodate the people, Last year when it raired, the area was a quagmire. What is the plan? Mr. Flora stated that the plan right now is to get the fields level, and with fertilization and the sprinkler system, to get the grass to grow. That is the first priority. They have extended the apron around the concession building an�ther 10 ft, to accommodate more people and also, hopefully, to improve the drainage in that area. They will maintain 5 row bleachers behind each of the backstops for this year. Mr, flora stated, again, the ultimate goal is for the Parks & Recreation Commission to te11 them what the Comnission would like to see in all 33 parks and then set some priorities. PARKS &T�CREATION CO�MISSION MEETING, MAY 6, 1985 PAGE 4 Dr. Boudreau stated Staff has worked this out internally. He and Mr. Kirk will have input on the plans. They will then run the plans by the Comnission for the Comnission's input. Once that has gotten approval, it will go to Nr, Flora on the maintenance part of it, and then to the City Council for their approval, Mr. Kondricf� tf�anked Mr. Flora for coming to tfie meeting. Mr, Allen stated the reason he brougf�t up the concern about the bleachers was because of his old concern when the park maintenance went to the Public Works Dept. To him, deciding w(�ether or not bleacf�ers go into a park was a programnatic decision, not a decision that sfiould be made by Pu61ic Works. He had been getting the indication that if Public Works didn't agree, the bieacherS would not qo in, So, he had been very concerned about that again. He was concerned ab��t people making recreational decisions who are really not in the recreation business. He had wanted to make it really clear that those types of decisions are the job of the recre�tion staff. Mr. Kondrick stated that at the next meetinq, tbey should discuss how they want to go about putting together input about the parks. b. Tony Wajda - 1984 Softball Tournament Dr. Boudreau stated Mr, Wajda had requested to appear before the Commission regarding the cancelled 1984 softball tournament. He stated the Commissioners had a copy of the July i6, 1984, and Aug, 20, 1984, meeting minutes, alonq with the tournament application form signed by Mr.tdajda. Because of a check submitted by Mr. Wajda that came back because of "insufficient funds", Dr, Boudreau had told Mr. Wajda that he could not run the tournament. At the July 16, 1984, meeting, the Comnission had made a motion stating that a 5100 fee as stated in the contract plus $150 for administrative expenses should be callected from Mr. Wajda for not performinq per the tournament agreement with the City of Fridley. Mr. Wa'da stated he felt the $250 was not appropriate. He felt zero dollars would �e appropriate; however, after reading through the agreement again, he would be agreeable to paying the $100 for the canCeilation. The reason beMind that was the teams he was sponsoring for the tournament did not make any money off the tournament. It was one of those things that was anticipated wrong. He had hoped to get 48 teams, but only ifi teams responded. Mr. Wajda stated he had hoped to continue with the tournament and had asked Dr. Boudreau to rent him just two ball fields instead of the whole park. That way he could have paid for the two fields at $500 and at least have broken even on the tournament. Had they had to pay the full fee of $1,000 plus permits, there was no way they could have made any money, He stated they were not given the opportunity to rent just two fieids, artd that was why he fe7t $250 was too high. Ne stated the administrative costs could have been avoided if the City had given the opportunity to use the two fields. The fields were already prepared for the tournament; two would have been used, and two would not have been used. PARKS & RECREATION COh1MIS5I0N MEETIN6 MAY 6 1985 PAGE 5 Mr. Young asked Mr, Wajda if he was aware of the fact that there was another tournament scheduled by a non-profit group last season who cancelled and were charged $250. This group paid the E250 with no questions and and were very glad they were not asked to pay the whole fee. Mr. Wajda stated he was not aware of that. Dr. Boudreau stated that with an entry fee of $100 per team and Mr. Wajda had 16 teams signed up, that was $1600 right there. He would have been at a break-even point before even selling any concessions. He stated Mr. Wajda should have run the tournament with the 16 teams. Mr. Wajda stated the point was still that he should have been given the opportunity to just use two fields. Then this all could have been avoided. He still felt the $100 was appropriate, but not the $150 for administrative fees. He asked what constituted administrative fees. Dr, Boudreau stated that Accounting has been involved with Mr. Wajda's bad cGeck, the Police Dept, has been involved with the check, the Parks & Recreation Dept, staff has been involved over a year with his check. That was sthy tfie Comnission made it policy that every grouA must have up-front money when a tournament request is made. Tfiat assures the Comnission and the City tfiat tfie fields will not sit ddle because someone doesn't get eno�gh teams to hold a tournament as planned, The City missed out on make- up games that could have been played, sor someone else might have wanted to run a tournament. Staff puts in a lot of time and effort to try to rent out a first-class facility. Dr. Boudreau stated the Parks & Recreation Commission is made up of people who volunteer their time once a month and who sPent a lot of time coming up with these po7icies. He stated he and Mr. Kirk must enforce the �olicies already set up by the Cortmission, and the decision is up to the Commission, Dr. Boudreau stated Mr. Wajda was advocating the renting out of two fielAs, knowing quite well that the other two fields would be used for warm-up and practice. He stated two fields lying idle are too much of a te�ptation. Mr. Wajda stated he would ask the Commission to waive the $150 administrative fee, and he would be wii7ing to pay the $100 cancellation fee. Ms. Schreiner stated she did not understand why Mr. Wajda felt he should be treated differently than any other group, especially when another grouo had cancelled a tournament and had paid the $250 with no 4uestions asked. Mr, Kondrick stated the Commission did not set this po7icy to try to make money. The Comnission spent a lot of time coming up with these costs, and they decided the $100 cancellation fee and $150 administrative fee were a fair cost to all groups. They have an obligation to all groups, both profit and non-profit. PARKS & RECREATION COM�ISSIO�� MEETIN6, MAY 6, 1985 PAGF 6 Mr. Allen stated he felt what the Comnission did was fair. He stated he _has also dealt with alot of tournaments; and if this was such a concern to Mr. Wajda, why was he now coming to the Commission nine months later? If 6e �ad been in Mr. Wajda's position, 6e would have come into the office r'L�hi away to try to work something out. But instead, it was the Comnission and the City trying to seek information from him. As far as the teams not paying until the day of the tournament, as Mr. Wajda had stated, that was asking for disaster. He could not believe anyone would wait until the day of the tournament to get money from the teams. He did not think the procedure was handled well. He knew how much time Staff has spent on this, and staff time is expensive. He felt what the Commission had done was fair. Mr, Young stated that in view of the fact that they have already established a precedent with another group in the way they are going to operate, if they didn't treat everyone the same, they could have all kinds of groups scheduling and cancelling at the last moment. Mr. Wajda stated he felt maybe the Commission should give the Director some leeway in order to change the rules on the spur of the moment. In the five years he has been running tournaments, this is the first time he has ever had to cancel. Ms. Scfireiner stated she could not even consider going back and sayinq $100 was a17 right. Mr. Wajda stated that he was prepared to go to court. The City Staff will have to spend even more time and more effort by being represented in court in order to te11 the judge exactly what these administrative costs are. Mr. Kondrick stated Mr. Wajda had to do what he felt was best. He hoped the Commission had made their position as clear as possible to Mr. Wajda. The Commission felt the fees and policies they have set up are fair and accurate. Dr. Boudreau stated he has been directed by Officer Zimmerman of the Police Dept. to report back on what happened at this meeting. He would do so. Mr. Kondrick thanked Mr. Wajda for coming to the meeting and exnressing f�is views. He stated he hoped they could again do�business sort�etime in tfie future with a better understanding of tf�e City s policies. c, Northeast Chamber and City Band Dr. Boudreau stated the Commission had received a letter from Betty Scott, Manager of the Northeast Chamber Orchestra requesting funding for 1986 the same as last year. He stated if the Commission approves this request, they should also approve funding for the City Band. MOTION BY M5. SCHREINER� SECONDED BY MR.

He stated he was serving on tfre committee. It will have tl�e usual events, but this year they will be co-sponsoring a tournament with the FYSA for a young girls softball tournament. He stated most tournaments being run all summer long through tf�e state are primarily for adults. There are hardly any for the youth, They thirk this will 6e a nice t�lne to host a girls' tournament. It wiil be on Sat, and Sun, Dr. Boudreau stated it was tf�e long range plan that the FYSA in the future run this tournament ou their own as a fundraiser and become a part of the regular 49'ers Days event. Mr, Allen stated he appreciated the intentions of the tournament, but he was very disappointed that they were dropping the adult tournament. e. June Meeting Location - Springbrook Nature Center Dr,Boudreau stated that last year the Corrmissioners held their June meeting at Springbrook Nature Center with a picnic supper before the meeting. He thought tF�e Commission might like to do the same thing again this_year. He stated it would also be a good time to take a tour of the park facilities as has been done in the past. It will help them when they start their discussions about input about the park areas. The Cortmissioners were in agreement with the park tour, picnic supper, and meeting at Springbrook Nature Center in June. f.

UPDATE ON HOUSE DOCTOR PROGRAM Ms. Gibson prc,vided an update on the House Doctor Program. The contractor performing House Doctor's for the City of Minneapolis completed their contract work 10 days early, and tMe City of Minneapolis has agreed to let the contractor perform work for 10 days doing House Doctor's in the City of Fridley. Ms. Gibson contacted ACCAP to get a list of residents receiving fuel assistance. From that list of 286 households, they then looked for those that were considered low income and elderly or disabled. The first 10 households meeting these requirements who agreed to have the work done were scheduled to have the work � perfortned by the contractor. The first home was completed May 7. The homes are located throughout the City. Ms. Gibson indicated that the work begins at 9:00 a.m. with an inspection of the home, a blower door test, and an interview with the owner to find out about the house, their energy use habits, etc. Two men work an average of 8 hours per day each, and the cost of labor and materials averages $450 per house. The work is generally completed by 5:00 p.m. Ms. Gibson invited the members of the comnittee to observe the work being done and suggested calling her first to get the location and approximete work hours of the contractor since the hours may vary somewhat. Ms. Gibson indicated that, since the persons participating were part of the fuel assistance p mgram, their names and addresses are considered confidential and could not be given out publicly. Mr. Barna suggested that a video or slide show be made using tl;ese homes as a basis for a step-by-step example of what is done during a House Doctor visit. He also suggested interviewing homeowners participating in this initial program to get their thoughts. This could overcome fear that others may have about the program. Mr. Barna also suggested the use of cable TV to make residents more aware of the program, and this could also increase the interest of the Block Captains. Mr. Saba indicated that it would be nice to use as an example a house in a person's own neighborhood to let residents know what has been done in their area. He also indicated that a video specialist is on staff and that he/she could assist in the preparation of a video which could also be used as part of the educational segment for the House Doctor Program. Ms..Gibson stated that they may not be able to do this; however, Minneapolis may have a video which the City of Fridley may be able to use. Mr. Gibson indicated that the committee would receive reports on consumption, savings, etc. ENERGY PROJECT GOMMITTEE MEETING MAY 7 1985 PAGE 3 3, DISCUSSION RE6ARDING THE ORAFT PROPOSALS TO.MINNEGASCO Ms. Gibson distributed copies of the draft proposal to Minnegasco for the House Doctor Program and reviewed the proposal with the committee. She noted that the bipgest change was the addition af Exhibits A, B, C, D, and E. The budget, Exhibit D, for the House Doctors wi11 very likely remain much the same. However, Minnegasco raised a number of questions about the Neighborhood Energy Workshops (NEW� �Exhibit E, and "s. Gibson expects changes to be made in those figures. The D.E.E.D, grant has been approved.• The Gity made some changes on the grant application including prioritizing the project, and eliminating the crosswalk/bikeway study and operation insulation. Signatures are now being obtained. 80% of the funds wi11 6e sent initially and the remaining 20% will be received after the final report it submitted to the State. Monthly reports are required. Minnegasca will keep records for the House Doctor Program and prepare reports and �4s. Gibson will maintain that information needed by the City. 4. OTHER BUSINESS A. Mr. Sielaff asked about the progress of the work plan and suggested that this be included on the next agenda. B. Mr. Saba asked if acditional information had been obtained regarding financing programs to assist businesses in promotion energy projects as described in a letter from the Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development, and if there was more information regarding �MC's efforts in energy conservation. These items should be included in the next agenda. C. Mr. Nielsen indicated that he had obtained information from the City of Columbia Heights regarding therr program to identify owners of 2-4 unit buildings and has forwarded that information to Susan Merriam at the City of Frid�ey. This item should be included in the next agenda: D. Mr. Saba asked if ACCAP had provided additional information about their programs and what had been done in the City of Fridley. Ms. Gibson stated that they had received some information indicating that ACCAP had reached 217 houses since 1978 through .their weatherization program, and that 3 homes through their rehab program. Mr. Saba requested that a representative from ACCAP be asked to attend the next meeting to provide information on ACCAP and answer questions from the comnittee. Ms. Gibson indicated that we are under negotiations with ACCAP and to invite someone to this project committee would be unfair to the bther 6idding contractors, E. Ms. Gibson indicated that she would be unable to meet at the next scheduled time because she would not be in town, and if the project committee would like to meet tenatively on June,lOth.
