Mr. Robinson stated this request is for a special use permit to a11ow
the outside storage of construction materials and equipment on

Mr. Robinson stated Lhe property is zoned M-2 and all of the adjoining
land is industrial. Ae stated the area is quite undeveloped, wi[h the
exception of P.affaele's and the golf driving range, and is located in
a redevelopment tax increment district,
Mr. Robinson stated, if this special use permit is approved, staff would
recommend the following stipulations: (1) petitioner work with staff
[o complete an approved landscape plan including planting around the
storage yard; (2) entire storage area to be fenced and screened with
slats and vines; slats to be approved vinyl or wood; fence to be eight
feet high; (3) petitioner work with Engineering Department �o complete
an approved drainage plan; (4) site plan to be refined to meet code

building permit.
PLANNING COt4CLSSION MEETING JUNE 19 1985 PAGE 4
I�. Qquist stated the special use permit is for exterior storage,
but one of the stipulacions recommended was that building elevations
be supplied, along with information on the architectural character
and appropriate building uaterials. He felt these items should be
included with the building permit and not as stipula[ions for the
special use permit� as this involves storage and not the buiiding,
Ms. Gabel stated she also had the same concern with telling people what
kind of building materials to use.
Nh. Robinson stated he fel[ the whole site development has to be con-
sidered in conjunction with the special use permit, He stated it has
been staff's concensus, eapecially in the redevelopment districts,
there should be good quality conscruction that would fit in well with
future developrnent,
Ms. Irene Maertens, representing Maertens-Brenny Construction Company,
stated the reason for the request for this special use permit is because
they have a purchase agreement for this proper[y, depending on the soil
conditions, and need to know if outside storag2 +ai11 be allowed.
Ms. Maertens stated her husband talked with staff on the stipulations
recommended and she is no[ sure he totally agrees. She felt it is
somet}�ing that can be worked out.
Mr. Kondrick asked if they would use this property as the ��ome-hase
for their construction business. Ms, Maertens stated this is their
plan as t!:ey now are operating their business in Minneapolis, with
outside stozage i7 Andover and want to bring i[ all at one location.
Mr. Oquist stated if the special use permit is granted, it wou`d 6e
issued to Maertens-Brenny Construction Company so if the purchase of
the Land doesn't proceed, the special use permit is null and void.
Dh, Robinson stated this could be made a.;tipulation since they are
in the process of negotiating for the property.
No other persons spoke regarding this request for a special use permit,

th. Saba stated he has a problem with requiring building eLevations
and information on building materials which would be used.
t�k. Kondrick stated he had the same concern and did not agree with
this stipulation.
bh. Oquist felt the stipulations have to address the topic of the
special use permit and not the whole development,
2�fr, Minton stated he didn't feel as strongly abwt this issue. He
felt it was fine if the special use permit :s �sed as leverage to
carry out other policies.

of the property has not responded. I�h. GYohnke, the leasee of this
property, stated he would take a copy of the agreement for the easement
to the owner for his signature and if there is a problem, would contact
the staff,
Mr. �Y ohnke s[ated� as far as the sign, he felt the owner of the property
feels pretty strongly about keeping the existing sign.
It was the concensus of the Cormnission that time limits should be
recommended to the Council regarding compliance for the easement and
[he sign,

and not u°.nalize the tenant.

1.0 SUMMHRY
31
l.i A preliminary analys(s of the site and stte condt?tons has been
made. Three alternate layout schemes were developed and
development costs were estlmated. A discussion of the analysis
and schemes follws thts sunmary.
1.2 'The Cf ty of Fr l dl ey shoul d davef op MeaGow I ands Park 1 n
accordance rith Scheme A for ifie foilaring reasons.
1.2.1 Movement between user areas Is better than Schemes "B"
and *C"
i.2.2 Better possibllity of laverfng of xater table In user
area
1.2.3 Lots on Kennaston Drive are more saleable than lots along
east border of parcel
1.2.4 Pond Is of adequate s(ze to be used for winter skat(ng.
1.3 Before developing fi�al construction documents, the site will
need to be surveyeG to Aetermine exact condltions of the site.
Additional soll borings and foundatfon recommendatlons should be
obta(ned at the locat{ons of specific features lncluding the
tennislbasketball court, park(ng lot, street construction area,
pond and ball ffefd.
2.0 INTRODUCf ION
2.1 The City of Fridley, Nfnnesota orrns a parcel of property in
MeaOw )ends 5econd Addition. The parcel is located south of
68th Avenue N.E., north of Misslssippi Street, east of Jackson
Street and rest of Brookvier Drive. The qroperty (s desfg�ated
and used as a nelghborhood park, Improveme�ts at the slte
Include a fennis court, tot lot, picntc shelter, trro softbail
fields and I lghts for fce skatt�g.
3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
3,1 Use of the park In ganeral and the softball fields in particular
(s severe{y curtailed due to dralnage and foundatlon oonditfons.
Malntenance of the grounds is not possibie during Net times
because of stand(ng water and unstable foundation condltions.
3.2 Tfie main body of the park parcel Is relatfvely flat Mith high
ground water and soft peat deposlts. The area fronting on
Kennaston Drfve Is hfgher in elevatfon and appears to have a
firmer foundatlon than the central part of the park. The park
area fronting on 68th Avenue N.E. also appears to be htgher wtth
better foundation conditions. That area also has adequate
slopes to prw(de rapfd surface runoff for storm water.
3.3 Subterranean Engfnering Corporation took five borings at tha
site on March 22, 1985 to estimate tfie subsurface conditions at
the s(te. Thelr report indicates a high rater table, at or very
near the ground s�rfece, and deposits ot sott peat up to 8.3
feet deep.
-1- 8414
Kf�
3.4 Because the site fs relativeiy flat, has a hlgh ground water
table, and Is composed of a poorly drafned soll, the surface
drai�age is very poor. The slte Is about the same elevatfon as
the back yards of the surrounding resiGential properties. A
dltch does exist on the site and It dralns to a storm sewe�
system on 68th Avenue N.E. A storm sewer outlet does extst on a
developed lot along the south stde of the Park. TTie property
'owner has requested the Clty to remove that outlet frcm his back
yard. This storm sewer dralns frcm the fronting street tavards
the park property.
d.0 DESlRED CQNDITIONS
4.1 The City of Frldley desires to improve the site condltions to
make the park useabl e and mai ntaf nabl e throughout the year.
Facllitfes deslreable include soft ball fleld, tennis courts,
basketball court, tot Iot, exerclse trall, parking area and
resldentlal lots. The goal of the C1ty fs to flnance the park
Improvlements from sales of residentlaf lots around the park
parcel.
5.0 PRCBLENtS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
5.1 Surface and subsurface dratnage of the site Is necessary to
achfeve a stable surface. Surface dratnage cou{d be
accompl (shed by regrading the sfte, adding material to the site
or a combination ot Doth. Possibie subsurface drafnage systems
would (nclude drain tlle, ditchi�g or a cnmbinatlon of both.
5.2 Because of a limited budget, importing material was kept to a
minimum. Any regrading of the slte rill need to cortsider
elevatlons of adfacent resldentlal propertfes.
5.3 Use of drafn tlie to lower the ground water was not analyzed In
detail because of the poor percolatlon characterfstics of the
peat. Constructfon of a pond with a controlled Mater surface
eievatlon will tend to lower the water table fn the Immediate
vlcinity of the pond.
6.0 AL7ERNATES
6.1 Thrce atternative park developnent schemes have been considered.
Prints of Schemes "A", "B" and "C" are attached to this report.
A�I three schemes conta(n all of the facilitles which the City
consldered deslrea6le. There are 7,10 and 6 residentlal {ots in
schemes "A", "B" and "C" respectfvely. Also attached to this
report is a print of a typlcal development sectlon, The general
development concept fs to excavate a pond and use that material
to raise the elevatlon of user areas. The areas raised would be
sloped to provide surface drafnage. A storm sewer would be
constructed fran the pond to the exlstisng storm sewer system on
68th Avenue N.E. TAe elevatlon of the p)pe at the pond should
be low enough to provlde some reductlon ln the water table and
stfll allow water to remaln In the pond. It !s esttmated that
the pond should be about 8 feet deep wlth a permanent pool depth
-2- 8414
33
oi 4 feet, A geotechnical fabric should be used at the
Interface of the peat materlai and granular material. The
fabrlc wlll not prevent settlement but will provfde a suitable
foundatlon fo� lawn malntenance vehfcles and will prevent the
intermixing of materlals.
6.2 Scheme "C^ has a layout simllar to the layout of the exlsting
�park. It Is atso the only scheme Mhich has two ball field
areas. A smail pond rould be constructed near 68th Avenue No.
primartly to obtaln materlal to rafse tfie elevatlon of the park
user area. Beneflts of the pond lowering the rrater table would
be mtnima! due to the remote location. Six new resldential lots
would be developed in the southeast corner of the park parcel.
It will be necessary to consiruct utillties and streets to
serv Ice these 1 ots.
6.3 Scheme "B" also has a layout sim►lar to the existing park but
has reduced the park slze fran ifiat sharn In Scheme "A". This
reduction In park area is due to three additional residentlal
lots and the development of a street on the park parcel.
Excavation from the proposed pond can be used to raise the
elevation of the user area. Nith the pond near the user area,
there wfll be a banefit to loraring of the rater tabie.
Utilltles and streets rlll need to be constructed to service tfie
new resl dent I al I ots.
6.4 Scheme "A" rearranges the park facf I Itles fran ifiere present
location. The tennts/basketball courts need a good foundation
and the apparent best foundation materlal exists In the �th
area of the parcel. Meterfal excavated fran the pond area would
be used to raise the ball field and picnic area. Three
residential lots would be located along Kennaston Drlve and
rould have better foundation conditlons than lots a�ong the east
boundary of the parcel.
7.0 ESTIMATED CONSiRUCI'ION ODSTS

items necessary to construct the Park Development Plans. These

7. OLD BUSItJESS:
a. Consideration of human service needs in �ridley
Mr, Minton stated one of the Commission's main concerns on this whole
issue was to get a fee] for the needs of the poor peoole in Fridley.
The Commission wanted to hear from different people and then eventuall,y
possibly make some recommendations to the Citv Council. He stated the
Commission was not so much interested in programs that are now in place
as they were in the needs.
Mr. Steve Klein, Anoka County Community Action Program, Inc., stated he
and Ms. Zurawski really apprec�ated the opportunitv of being invited to
the Commission meeting, He stated Anoka County CAP's main focus was on
county-wide needs, but obviously, there was a great deal of variation
bet�aeen individual cortmunities in terms of how severe a specific need
would be. His focus was a little more the macro overview of the County,
HUhiAN RESOURCES COMMISSIOtJ MEETING, JUNE 6, 1985 PAGE 2
but he could allude to some specific needs in Fridley.
Mr. Klein stated �arlene Zurawski was the Senior Outreach Worker in
Fridley since Sept. 1984. She could better address the needs of the
seniors in fridley.
Ms. Zura�•rski stated her position was a Sept. - May position, and durinq
that time she has contacted 440 individuals and made 296 visits to homes.
The age grou� was basically 75-79, and 112 were beTow poverty Tevei and
158 rrere above the poverty 1eve1. (Poverty level is $6,563/yr.) She
stated 22i of the 440 individuals are Tivinn alone, 173 of those were
female.
Ms. Zurawski stated that right now she saw the greatest need with the
homeowners, particularly tfie female head of household living alone trying
to cope witfi maintaining a home, dealing with the loss of a spouse, taking
over the budget, etc. Many did not know where to call for assistance if
something needed to be done on the home. She stated she would refer them
to the County's Home Maintenance Service and some of the programs that
CAP offers, but the waiting lists are long.
Ms. Zurawski stated there are a lot ��f seniors who just do not even know
about the programs. She saw outreach <is beinq a very necessary oart of
the senior population in Fridley. She stated she has met with Mr. Klein
to see if tfiere is some way they can expand the ou�reach in order to reach
more seniors, possibly utilizing the Befrienders program in Fridle,y or
utilizing seniors at the Senior Litizen Center,
Ms, Zurawski stated transnoration is a big need, particularly transporta-
tion for physical therapv appointments, oost office, bank, some of the
basic every day senior needs. She stated the County is starting to
address this need by fiiring a person in the transportation area.
Mr. Klein stated that he coordfnates the Planning Community prograriminq
part of the Community Action Program and directly suoervises 15-20
orograms. After talking to some of his staff people who are involved in
programming in fridley about senior home maintenance, they felt
senior fiome maintenance did seem to be the most imnediate need and somethinq
that could be implemented fairly easily, ke stated they ran a model
program last year through the State Employment program. Of the jobs done,
22% were in the City of Fridley, so the need is �retty substantial.
Mr. Klein stated t�at with thP increasing number of seniors, there seems
to be a decreasing number of ktds even for the seniors who can afford to
hire someone to do maintenance. As the community gets older, the numbers
of children are not there; and a7so it appears that it is very hard to find
school age children w��o even want to work, The County Sumner Youth Employ-
ment Program has a number of openings because the number of applicants is
just not coming in.
HU11AN RESOURCES COHMISSION MEfTING, JUNE 6, 1985 PAGE 3
Mr. Klein stated tf�at geographically regarding the location of poverty
in Fridley, there are six block groups in the City of Fridley that the
County, through HUD and Anoka County, has designated as low incor�e block
groups. Those are located on the map relative to the census tract:
Tract 51103, Block Group 3
" 51102, " " 1
" 51201, " " 2
" 51202, " " 3
" 51205, " " 1 & 2
He stated a block group is approx. 8-12 square blocks,
Mr. Klein stated there was a serious shortage of board and care-tyoe
resources for the elderly living alone who are trying to maintain an
independent living environment. A living environment short of a nursing
home was a county-wide need, and he felt it was also a need in Fridley
because of the increased population of seniors.
Mr. Klein stated tAat earlier Ms, Zurawsfiki had alluded to the needs
relative to what tf�e senior outreach progrnm is tr��ing to address and
that is the need to involve seniors to get theM informed, to fo11oV� up to
see if tRey receive services--the whole coordination, advocacy, ombuds-
man, solving-type problem area. He stated seniors not actively involved
in senior clubs often have a hard time in �roblem solving in terms of
resources tF�at migfit be available, so they really see in the four corenuni-
ties where tfiey are doing senior outreacfi programs, the �eed to address
that whole area of helping seniors make matches with the services that
are available.
Mr. Klein stated the area of seniors qoing through the loss of a loved
one or suffering a tragedy in their lives is an area that the Befriend��rs
program attempts to deal with. The s��ool district and St. Williams are
actively involved in this service. What is being provided by the
Befriend2rs program is a good start, but small compared to the needs.
Mr. Klein stated subsidized housing for seniors is also a need, Village
GreeR has 100 plus people on a waiting list for the elderlv housinq.
Fridley is probably better off tfian some of the other communities in the
County in terms of the provision of elderly housing.
Mr. Klein stated annther area relative to seniors was respite care, That
is basically where an individual who has either chronic or an ongoing
iliness living in a residential setting with a spouse or family has some
type of "escape valve" so they can get out and get away once in awhile.
Mr. Klein stated something that came out of the Metropolitan Council study
of Anoke County for seniors was a wf�ole area thev call limited case manage-
ment. Limited case management relates back to the earlier discussion
about board and care and individuals who basically are able to live inde-
pendently but need someone to keep track of them regarding special needs--
some form of a trackittg system and support monitoring.
HU�1AN RESOURLES COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 1985 PAGE 4
Mr, Klein stated tfiat basicaily sumned up the bulk of the needs relative
to the elderly population. He would now address some of the issues that
are typicai of a poveriy family,
Mr. Klein stated that subsidized affordable housing was obviously a big
issue for families. There are 210 people on the waiting list for Village
Green for family housing, and, apparently, it is an excessively long wait.
It seems that as the elderly fiousing �as been cut back, family housing
seems to fiave 6een terminated.
Mr. Klein stated tfie Headstart program, tfie preschool children's situation,
is a real critical need in this area. He stated t�at in Fridlev last year,
the Headstart program served 28 children, 3-5 years old, from verv low
income families. Tfiere are 35 certified eligible children on the waiting
list fro� the City of Fridley in need of this service who were not able
to be served this past year. He stated they have not been able to do a lot
of service in the Fridley area. They have not had a school district desig-
nated site in Fridley since 1975 when it a�as at Parkview. They were at
Riverwood for one year when the County leased the space. But, in most
cases, they go into areas where tfie school district and the city cooperate
to provide an elementary school classroom. Tfiey will be opening up a new
center in Columbia Heights at Imnaculate Conception Church in the fall,
which will serve Southern fridley. Northern Fridley will be served bY
Woodcrest Elementary.
Mr, Klein stated a lot of issues can be dealt with--educationaT, emotionat,
development-type issues--with the preschool age child^en more easily than
when these children are 5-6 years older.
Mr. Klein stated that relative to families, the whole area of economic
development and employment opportunities fs a real critical thinq, parti-
cularly regarding inco�es that are going to provide "head of household"
incoMes that wiii alicw someone to have a meaningful opportunitv to get
off the poverty cycle. It is a very difficult thing for those receiving
medical assistance or day care assistance. When t�ey go to get a job and
lose the benefits from public assistance, a minimum wage job actually
leaves tfiem financially worse off than when they were on pubtic assistance.
if tbey are going to create jobs, they need to create jobs where there is
meaningful opportunity for financial advancement.
Mr. Klein stated his staff had indicated that some problems persons on
AFDC might come across were problems with affordable day care, problems
witfi having disposable income for housing, difficultv in the stability
of their livinq arrangements.
Mr.Klein stated the area his staff indicated as a problem area was that
there is a perception tn the media and in society that th9ngs are better
off and the economy is improving. This could be giving people a false
sense of security relative to the number of people who are already having
dtfficulty. So, one need they really Rave to be aware of is the potential
for complacency or a false sense of security,
HUMAN RE50URCES COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 1985 PAGE 5
Mr. Klein stated one of the areas the Headstart staff talked about as being
a need was the mental health services for younq families, particularly
single parent families. He stated there are some excellent programs in
the County--Central Center for Family Resources and North Suburban Family
Servi.ce Center. These facilities are not in Fridley so transportation can
be a problem, Because of budget cuts to tfiese organizations, these services
have become more expensive and somewfiat more inaccessible to low and
moderate income famfilies, It was important to fiave some forri of community
mental health services available to serve this need.
Mr. Klein stated the whole area of housing in terms of housing rehabi7i-
tation and energy issues was still a substantial issue in Fridley.
He stated the CAP Agency runs the Countv's rehabilitation program which is
a HUD program and tfie weatherization proqraM, along with some other programs.
He stated that in the past year, tfiey have weatherized 30 homes in the Cit��
of Fridley, and 1D homes that are eligible are currently on the waitinq list,
Mr. Klein stated the County has what is called the WIC program. In Fridley,
there are 68 women who are eitfier oregnant or nursing in the program, 74
infants in tfie program, and l44 children �� to age 5 in the program. Above
that, there are 60 certified eligible children on a waitinq list, nutri-
tionally at risk, who are unable to be served because of financial con-
straints. "Nutritionally at risk" means underweight, enemic, with chronic
health problems. The County's progra� fias intreased substantially the last
three years through additional funding from the Dept, of Agriculture.
Mr. Klein stated another need for families is dependable transportation to
and from work and to health and social services. Most of the public
assistance programs limit the amount of value of an individual's car, and
many times people are budgeted so tight between housing costs and car costs
that when the car breaks down, they cannot afford to fix it. So, for
people who are really motivated to go to schoo7 or wark to improve their
situation, dependable transportation is a real factor.
Mr. Klein stated one thing pointed out was the difficulty in securin�
a local grocery store that is economical, For families lacking trans-
portation, many have to shop at high-�riced convenience stores.
Mr. Klein stated the upkeep of private homes is nracticallv imnossible
because of high costs of repairs and maintenance and utilities for those
of low income, eitfier temporarily or permanently,
Mr. Klein stated that 1979 data showed about 7500 families in the City of
Fridley with 931 of those families having a female head of the household.
Of the 931 female head of households, about 30-42% looked as if they were
below the poverty level with younq children.
Ms. Sherek asked Mr. Klein if he was familiar with the volunteer senior
chore service provided through Northeast Elder Care in ��ortheast Minneapolis.
It was a whole complex of services that included a skilled nursing home and
HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 1985 PAGE 6
many of the services Mr. K7ein had talked about the seniors needing.
She was not talking about this service including F*idley people, but
a service that could be used as a model,
Mr,Klein stated he was not familiar with that particular program, but
was familiar with tfie concept. A Tot of wfiat Ms. Sherek was talkinq about
was similar to a"skiils bank" where peaple volunteer to do those tasks
they are skilled at. Tfiey have done a lot of research on it and have
attempted to put some funding together to expand their chore program.
Mr, Minton asked Mr. Klein if tfiere was any role the City of fridley could
play in any of this.
Mr. Klein stated he saw two roles tfie City of Fridley couid play: (1) a
funding role; (2} a supportive networking, cooperative, coordinating role
with voiunteers and iocat initiatives where, for example, thev cou]d
exryand the caAability of reachfng the seniors.
Mr. Klein stated they would like to see tfie City helping the County identify
those individuals wFio Ftave a desire to provide comnunity servi�e; the
County could work with the Cfty to train them and coordinate and utilize
their skills in support of a staff initiative. He stated they are a big
fan of using voiunteers to suppiement staff; they are not a verv big fan
of voTunteers as a replacement for staff.
Mr. Klein stated he would realty encourage the City to look at the chore
service area. 7hat was a totally untapped need that is just really comin9
to the surface in the County.
Mr. Minton stated the Commissioners
Ms. Zurawski had done to bring this
thanked them for coming,
appreciated the a�ork Mr. Klein and
information to the Cortmission, and he
b. Considerat{on of proposals from human service organizations for 1985
CDBG funds
Southern Anoka Communitv Assistance - amount requested -$5,000
Ms. Sherek stated she liked the uniqueness of the program, the wide range
of needs that are served at a low cost, and the targe number of Fridley
residents served at a comparatively Tow cost. The people served, for the
most part, are the working poor--people trying to make it but who need a
little help. She would recommend full funding.
Mr. Minton stated he felt SADA served a very basic human need,
Mr. Billings stated he had heard a presentation by Rosemary Byrnes from
SACA several months ago, and had gotten a good overview of SRCA. He, too,
would recortmend full funding.
HUHAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 6, 1985 PAGE 7
The Alexandra Wouse - amount requested -$3,000
Ms. Sherek stated that after hearing the presentation at the special meeting
on May 15, she did not feel the proposal was a11 that clear as to what they
intended to do, but tfiey o6viously do fiave some well defined goals and
plans to acfiieve tfiose goals. Tfiey are actually doing outreach to the
groups they consider critical to reach, int]uding the school children,
law enforcement personnel, volunteer groups, etc, She felt this would be
money well spent because there is not any other organization performing
this type of service. They are cooperating with the schools and are nnt
duplicating any existing programs.
Mr. Minton stated
it was earmarked,
organization,
tfie amount requested was really for a budgetary purpose;
but that did not bother him. It was a very worthwhile
Mr. Billings stated he would be in favor of funding the total amount
requested.
Anoka Countv Community Actior� Program, Inc. - amount requested - 54,388
Ms. Sherek stated tf�is would be a completion of a vear's commitment to
having the senior outreach worker. She saw this organization performing
a lot of valuable services and fiaving a lot of good ideas, but she did
not think the City shDUld be funding tfie employment of an ongoing program.
She thought that should be a definite stipulation for the fundinq of this
organization.
Mr, Minton agreed, He stated he felt the Conanissioners had made that
pretty clear at the special meeting on May 15. He felt the outreach pro-
gram was doing a very valuable job,
Mr. Biilings stated he would 6e in favor of fundinq the total amount
requested,
Central Center for Family Resources - amount requested -$5,000
Ms. Sherek stated all the counseling services look like good services to
fund; Central Center for Family Resources was a counseling service that
is performing some unique things, one of which is the counselinq of
children, and the large number of groups that they serve Which tends to
helo reduce the cost. The other thing that entered into her decision
was that Family Life Mental Health Center was way out in Anoka, and as
has been poirtted out, when people are in crisis situations, the trans-
portation and proximity to services is very important.
North Suburban Consumer Advocates for the Handicapped - amt. requested - 51,200
Mr. Minton stated he was not in favor of funding the total amount
requested. Ne fe7t the request for office equipment for $550 was a worth-
while project. He thought the instruction and the seminars seemed a little
HUMAN RESOURCES CQMMISSI�N MEETING, JUNE 6, 1985 PAGE 8
vague. He would like to see them get some funding to help them become
a better organization, and he would agree to $550 for office equipment.
Ms, Sherek stated she would aiso agree with the $550 for office equfpment,
Rainbow School and Child Cahe Center - amount requested -$34,863
Ms. Sherek stated that after listening to tfie presentation on May 15,
the person from Rainbow Scfiool really fiad no idea how she would even
administer these funds if tfiey got tfiem.
Mr, Billings stated Rainbow Scfiool was addressing tfie same problem that
was expressed by Mr. Klein, Since there were so many children on a waiting
list,any pittance the City would 6e able to contribute directly to Rainbow
Schnol gouldn`t 6e close to being able to resolve any of the problems. The
problem is so large, and the City's funding capability is so sma11,
The Commissioners agreed they would not recommend any funding to Rainbow
School and Child Care Center.
Foundations of Islands of Peace '
Ms. Sherek stated again this was a salary request. Islands of Peace was
requesting the entire amount from Fridley, even though there are other
communities that use Islands of Peace. They did not come up with any clear
idea of how many people from fridley would benefit if the City did fund it,
and they did not have any clear plan of any sort for fut�re fundinq.
Mr.Minton stated another consideration was that ihey were initiatinq some
programming, and they did not have any good rationaie or necessity for
doing that programming.
The Commissioners agreed they would not recommend any funding to Islands
of Peace.
Fridley Senior Citizen Center - amount reGuested -$6,700
Ms. Sherek stated the one propasal request she feTt was reasonable was
the request for fans for Congregate Dining in the amount of $5Q0. She
did not know if she could agree to payinq for their ongoing travel and
utility costs.
Mr. Minton and Mr. 6i17ings stated they would agree to the $500 for the
fans. The Comnission felt there were other funding capabilities that
have not been explored at a11.
Family Life Mental Health Center - amount requested -$3000 (18 mo. request)
North 3u ur an amily �2rvice �enter - amount requested -$4,000
Mr. Billings stated Ms. Sherek had mentioned the fact that bath Family
Life Menta7 Health Center and North Suburban Family Service Center are
far away from Fridley. He tended to agree with Ms. Sherek that if some-
HUMAN RESOURCES COMNIISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 1985 PAGE 10
children cannot get across tfie street on a"walk" light, it encourages
them to ride their bikes rather than walk their bikes in order to get
across the intersection before the light changes.
Ms, Sherek stated another side to the timing of t�e lights is that all
the lights do not have to cycle tfie same way. Liqhts can cycle
differently at different times of the day. So, if the lights really need
to be cycled the way they are for the rush hour and peak periods, then
cycle them that way; but then allow ample time for pedestrians and bicyclists
to cross on a single cyCle during non-peak periods.
Mr, Biliings and Mr. Minton stated that was a very good idea and was some-
thing that probably should be considered,
e. Consideration of the use of data involving people in the City of Fridlev
Mr. Minton stdted the Cormissioners had received a list of data elements
in the TI 990 system as requested at their last meetinq. He stated he did
not see anything on the list they needed to worry about, but maybe now was
the time for the Commission to start considering some nolicy questions.
Some policy questions could be: How should the City decide when it should
start collecting new data: What kind of controls should there be if they
do? What kind of controls should they have over decentralization? Is
there ever a review of data that should be taken off the computer?
Mr. Minton stated he would like to have someone talk to the Commission �aho
had some expertise in policy formulation as far as creation, use, and
retention of data.
Ms. Sherek stated that in looking over what was already on the computer,
these were all pretty standard things. At this point, she did not think
they were l�oking at anything that should be taken off the computer. She
stated her biggest concern was that people accumulate data with���t really
thinking about what the need is for it and the potential hazards of having
that information, With computers, tfiere is really no way to protect
against people asking for data and being able to get data. The only thing
they can do is try and restrict access to the data base information so
people really don`t know what specifically is there.
Mr. Minton stated he would like to know for the next meeting if the police
and fire data is protected and to what extent access is restricted to that data.
Mr, Ninton stated that at the next meeting, the Comnission should talk about
some broader policy issues.

one has a problem and is in need, is that person going to be physically
able to get to Anoka or even Coon Rapids? Is the fact that Anoka is so
far away going to be a 6arrier?
Ms, Sfierek stated that if they are talking a6out service to low income
residents, the question is: Gan tfiey even get to Anoka? They can get to
Spring Lake Park, because there is bus service right by Central Center for
�amily Resources.
The Conmissioners agreed to split wfiatever funding was left over between

Mr. Hunt stated he would keep the Commissioners informed. He stated he

from time to time.
Ms. Sherek stated her greatest concern was that no one, especially children
because children tend to be so impatient, can cross Highway 65 on a single
signal cycle, so they are always trying to beat the traffic. Because of
the way the lights are timed, if traffic coming off Highway 10 or 1-694
can hit the lights just right, they can go all the way through Fridley and
Spring Lake Park at 65 m.p.h. If someone is driving 65 m.p.h. and has not
had to slow down for any lights, if a child goes darting out trying to make
it across the street, that person is not going to be a61e to stop. Because

APPROVAL OF MAY 7, 1985, ENERGY PROJECT COMMITTEE MINUTES
MOTION by t4r. Barna, seconded by Mr. Starwalt, to approve the May 7, 1985, Energy
Project Committee minutes as written.
UPON A VOICE UOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SABA DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
1. UPDATE ON HOUSE DOCTOR PROGRAM AND N.E.W. PROGRAM
Ms. Gibson indicated that 9 houses had been done, but 1 house had 2 days of work
equaling 10 days of House Doctors that had been completed. The average reduction
in air filtration was 20%.
The last House Doctor will be done either July 1, 2, il or 12. Ms. Gibson
will let members know the exact date so they can observe the work being done.
Ms. Gibson indir.ated that the contractor explained to the homeowner what
work would be done, reviewed energy use habits, and suggested ways to reduce
energy consumption. The reduction in consumption was equated to dollar savings.
Ms. 6ibson indicated that records are available showing the work done and the
reduction in air infiltration. The basic work done included caulking,
weatherstripping, insulating switchboxes, adding door sweeps, installing flow
restrictors irt showers, and closing off rooms and the heat vents.
2. DISCUSSION REGARDING THE DRAFT PROPOSALS TO MINNEGASCO
Ms. Gibson stated that she would be meeting with Minnegasco on ,lune llth for
final approve�l of the Residential Energy Conservation Agreement for Low Income
Homeowners.
ENERGY PROJECT COMMITTEE MEETING, JUNE 10, 1985 PAGE 2
Ms. Gibson indicated that the budget had been increased to include the
cost of the House Doctors that had been done, and that Minnegasco had
agreed to pay for them.
Ms. Gibson distributed copies of information describing a power vent which
was recommended by Natural Resources (NRC} as an energy saver. The vent
wauid shut off the flue during non-use of a gas furnace or gas water heater
as well as acting as a recovery system.
Mr. Barna requested to see some engineering studies on these vents because
of potential problems in homes with high humidity levels. He also indicated
that there is the possibility of staining the external siding of homes.
Mr. Saba requested Ms. Gibson to get Minnegas�o's opinion of the vents
because of possible problems under certain conditions and asked Ms. Gibson
to provide any information on studies that have been done. Specific
questions pertained to oxidation of materials because of high humidity
and chlorides that may be present in the home, and possible staining of
siding.
Ms. Gibson indicated that the goal is to try to make the program cost/
effective and to try new products to see if they work. She suggested
installing 2 power vents to see if they would work. A total of 80 homes
could be served as part of the House Doctor program. '
Ms. Gibson indicated that the agreement includes a request for a one-year
Service Plus contract coupon worth 560.00. Bills are currently assessed a
monthly rate of $5.95 for service and the coupon would waive the charge for
one year.
3. DISCUSSION REGARDIN6 THE COP�TRACTOR SPECIFICATIONS FOR HOUSE DOCTOR
Ms. Gibson indicated that she had received a letter from NRC suggesting
that the House Doctors be done with a furnace check; a mechanical retrofit
including a power vent; or both of the above.
NRC has a different formula for calculat��ng the "tightness" of a home. The
measurement n�w used is based on air exchanges per hour. NRC has a formula
that compares the volUrrie of the home to the infiltration of air through
cracks/leaks and come up with a leakage ratio.
Ms. Gibson explained how the blower door is used to find cracks and leaks.
Mr. Sielaff stated that he had visited a House Doctor i� progress and said
that drafts could be felt even without the use of gauges.
Mr. 5ielaff asked about preparing a video about the House Doctor program.
Ms. Gibson indicated that the City of Minneapolis has multiple videos of House
Doctors that can be used by other municipalities.
Ms. Gibson indicated that she had seen a Neighborhood Energy Workshop video
showing how to work with people and what to say to motivate people. This is
available to municipalities or agencies doing energy conservation work.
ENERGY PR�JECT COMMITTEE MEETING, JUNE 10, 1985 PAGE 3
Mr. Saba requested a list of videos and asked if they could be made available
for committee members to see.
Ms. Gtbson indicated that she planned to survey the homeowners who had had
House Ooctors to see what they thought. She will talk to those whom
the contrac.tor spoke to the same day and send a survey to those whom the
contractor spoke to t�ie day following the House.Doctor.
Mr. Sielaff also suggested contacting homeowners who had decided not to
participate in the House Doctor program and perhaps use as a reference those
persons who had participated in the program.

which also contains some good ideas and information.
Ms. Gibson agreed to see if these publications are available and to check

Ms. Gibson distributed additional maps and copies of the City Newsletter
relating to the recycling program. Members were also encouraged to take
signs for the program which should be put in the front yard a day or two

Chairperson Oquist indicated that he would prefer to discuss the 1985 workplan
wi th al l mem6ers present.
Mr. Oquist suggested that the committee dtscuss the direction of the
Community Development Comnission and asked for suggestions on what the
commission could be doing.
Mr. Burch recommended the commission establish the direction they would
like to See the cortenittee go and present that to the Planning Comnission
and the City Council. At that time, if the Planning Comnission and/or
City Council did not agree with their recortmendation, they could be asked
to provide the commission with the direction they wished to see the
corranission work toward.
Mr. Burch suggested that the commission consider being an advisory committee
to the HRA. The HRA is involved in various areas of development and the
comnittee could assist in projects being undertaken by the HRA. Some
restructuring of the comnittee may be needed but he felt the idea worth
discussing with the Planning Comnission and the City Council.

Mr. Burch indicated that the HRA was working on a project to beautify
University Avenue and that the comnittee may be ab7e to do some of the
work on that project.
Mr. Burch also suggested that the co�rnittee look at areas in Fridley that
could be redeve]oped or improved, such as improving sidewalks.

Mr. Qureshi stated that in the development agreement, it was orovided that
the developer put in certain monies plus be willing to accept up to $100,000
of assessment costs for public improvements and property improvement. He
stated that in the agenda packet were the bids received for the different
improvement items. What hanpened was the costs for landscaning and sprinklina
and some of the other proposed improvements were lower than they had antici-
pated. One of the things being held in abeyance was the lighting for the
development. They would like to have the lighting match the scheme that is
being provided in the Plaza and Target property so it can be extended into the
Holly Center to provide the same environment and scheme.
Mr. Oureshi stated the developer is willing to accept a higher level of assess-
ment if the HRA feels this is something that would help the Center City and
provide an image of cohesive development.
Mr. Prieditis stated that if they are really serious about doing something
about the intersection at University/Mississippi, they should be tryinq to
coordinate the lighting throughout the whole develooment. He felt the HRA should
approve the higher level of assessment.

Mr. Qureshi reviewed tfie Center City/Holly Center Improveme�t items with the
commissioners,
Mr. Comners stated he was concerned that people miqht see ,'�50,000 listed for
monuments for two intersettions and become upset at that kind of monev being
spent, when there is no such t6ing planned at this time,
Mr. Qureshi stated these improvement items are only in the conceptual stages,
but they could make a notation stating tfiat at tlie bottom of the paqe.
Mr, Commers stated Mr. Flora`s memo dated June 4 really makes it sound like
these improvements are set in concrete already, and he wanted to emphasize
that these improvements are just concepts and have not been approved, and that
the costs are just guesstimates.
Mr. Qureshi stated that at tfiis time tfiey are just trying to give the HRA an
overall view along with a guesstimate of the overall costs. He stated they
will come back to the HRA when the costs are more finalized.
IZING THE CITY 70 COPJSTRUCT CERTAIN
Mr, Qureshi stated they have had a number of discussions t1n all these things,
but the HRA never gave any formal approval on the p7an. In a way the HRA did,
because the development agreement provided for it; but now they have the over-
all picture and unless the HRA had any probiems with it, he would like the
HRA to approve this resolution.
Mr, Commers stated he questioned #2, third paragraph, of the resolution, which
stated: "The cost of these im�rovements be assessed as determined by the HRA."
He felt this statement was too general.
Mr, Qureshi stated the HRA's only concern was in the areas where they actually
have a development agreement which they have for the southeast and northeast
quadrants. If, fcr any instance, they have to assess anything e]se, it was the
City Council thai has the autFioriiy to do that.

item the City Council has not acted on is tFie lighting because they wanted the

6. RECEIVING NOTICE OF EXERCISE OF OPTION FOR PURCHASE OF PROPERTY BY COLUMBIA
Mr. Quresfii stated Columbia Park Properties was exercising their option to
purchase property in order to add 15,000 sq, ft, to its existing 32,000 sq, ft.
facility. With the original building, they had 4.3 oarking spaces per 1,000
sq, ft. With the addition, it would be tf�e same for a total of 204 parking
spaces. He stated for the 15,600 sq. ft, addition, Columbia Park Properties
would like space provided for 75 additional parking spaces, essentially one
parking space for each 20D sq. ft. The plan shown in the HRA agenda would
provide for 65 parking spaces. According to the agreement between the City
and Columbia Park Properties, the City is supposed to provide 75 spaces, so
they are short about 10 parking spaces. Columbia Park Properties' concern is
that the need far exceeds the parking originally sfiown in tf�is plan, so there
is an immediate need to provide more parking for tF�e existing building. In the
agreement, Columbia Park Properties is asking the City to allow them right of
access and develop a parking lot this year and construct the building next
year.
Mr. Qureshi stated Columbia Park Properties has submitted another plan for
the development of a parking ramp on the space where the existing parking lot
is on 5th St. This would give them four levels of parking, 324 spaces as com-
pared to 204--126 additional spaces.
Mr. Qureshi stated tf�ey will be discussing with Columbia Park Properties what
other options are available and negotiate to see what can be worked out for
the mutual benefit of both the City and Columbia Park Properties. He stated
he was bringing this to tf�e Cortmission's attention. He would recommend the
HRA receive the letter, and maybe at tfie next meeting, fie would have something
a little more formal.
Mr. Canmers stated that according to the Option Agreement, the City must provide
a survey to Columbia Park Properties witf�in 30 days after exercise of option.

aould lfke to note in the minutes that after the meeting, Ms. Merriam and
Mr. Peterson attended a meeting of the Jaycees at which they gave a presentation

1, UPDATE OPJ RECYCLING PROGRAM:
Ms. Merriam stated the publicity had been very good, They had a front page
article in the Fridley Focus and a front page article in the Community
Section of the Minneapolis Star & Tribune.
Ms. Merriam stated tf�at as far as the flyer on recycling that was distributed
to the neighborhood, under the category "glass", she felt the wording miqht
have been misunderstood by some people, It stated "rinse and remove metal
labe7s, lids and rings". She stated some people were interpreting tha�� mean
that they had to remove paper labels, which was not true.
The Commissioners suggested that some type of update could be put in the news-
letter mentioning this and stating that p4oer labels do not have to be removed.
Et�VIRONMENTAL QUAUTY COMPIISSION MEETING, June 18, 1985 PAGE 2
Ms, Merriam stated tfiat as far as fiow we11 tfie recycling project fiad gone in
Area 1 the previous Friday, she stated that Mr. Beerman thought the partici-
pation was pretty good fOr the first time.
Ms, Merriam stated she had received some pfione ca71s from people worried that
their recyclables would not be picked up and would sit out in the bad weather.
She stated she had not received any comptafnts after the pick-up. She did not
believe that 11r. Beerman had received any either.
Ms. Merriam stated that besides block captains getting signs, Citv Council
members and all commission members will receive signs to post in their vards,
Mr. Peterson stated that after the last meeting on May 21, he and Ms. Merriam
attended the Jaycees meeting and made a presentation to solicit their supaort
and help. He stated the Jaycees had been very interested in helping with the
recycling program. Many of the members knew about tf�e program already. They
agreed to come and help and, in fact, a week or so later, did come and help
put together many recycling signs.
Mr. Peterson stated tfiat before coming to this meeting, he had contacted
Steve Torgrimson, President of the Jaycees, Mr. Torgrimson stated the Jaycees
had discussed tfie recl+cling program at botfi tfieir general meeting and Board
meeting, It was on their calendar of events for tfiis fall. It is now a commit-
ment of theirs as a community action project to get involved in the recycling
project and assist in doing some education. They are not sure at this time
what they want to do, but they want to get involved in the educational aspect
of the recycling program as they see the imporiance of the program. They
realize now is not the time to do it, but in the fal7 when vacations are over
and school has started. They expressed an interest in attending Cormnission
meetings.
Mr. Peterson stated i.t was tfie Commission`s intent to invite them to their
mee±ings. In addition to himself, Mr. Torgrimson gave Mr. Peterson names of
two people in the Jaycees who were interested in this project. One was
Dale Ttwmpson, v�ho is the Individual Development Vice-President, and
John Keener, who is the head of the Community Action Pro.iects. Mr. Peterson
stated he told Mr. Torgrimson that he would make sure these people were contacted
and invited to upcoming Comnissi�n meetings so they could be uodated on what
has transpired, what is going oro, and wfiat the Commission would like to see done
in the fail.
Mr. Svanda etated the ,laycees might also be willing to take some recycling
signs and post them in their yards, He stated they should be contacted and
asked if they would be willing to put up signs; and when they come to the Ju1y
meeting, tf�ey could let the Commission know how many signs wouTd be needed.
Mr. Gronlund stated he and the rest of tfie Environmental Quality Commission
members would like to comptiment Ms. Merriam on the fantastic job she has done
in organizing, publicizing, and really getting the recycling program off the
ground, He stated tfie Commission had 7itera]7y "spun its wheels" for a long
time trying to get a recyc]ing program implemented in ti�e City of Fridley,

2, DISCUSSION ON WORK PtAN FO2ANOKA COtlNTY FUNDING:
Ms. Merriam handed out an updated draft copy of the text tf�at would accompany
the worksheet and budget, atong with a cover letter, to Anoka County.
Mr. Svanda stated that in addition to the two sources of funding they have been
aware of, there is a third source of funding from Metro-Council that the City
might not be aware of, and that is $4/ton or $4 cubic yard, He stated
Ms. Merriam should check into this as it was something the City should know
about.
Ms. Merriam stated sfie had done the work plan on a 12/84 - 12/85 timetable.
The reason she had done tf�at was because the metro monies were retroactive for
1985--spent in 1985 and reimbursed in 1986. But, the Anoka County money was
based on a work plan. It was very unclear as no one was in a position to file
a work plan with Anoka County so no guidelines have been written. She stated
Mr. Robinson was thinking maybe it would be better to start with April with
their work plan and tf�en do it April to April. The reason for that was Anoka
County will not fund anything spent before April,
Mr. Svanda stated fie would leave the timeta6le as Ms. Merriam had outlined,
6ut add six more months. They should then make it clear to Anoka County that
even though there will be some costs before Aprit, the cost figures for funding
start as of April 1.
Mr. Peterson Suggested that in the text, a paragraph be added that tells that
the Commission is working with the Fridley Jaycees. It would be good to show
in the work plan that they do have the support of a community group.
Ms. Merriam stated the work plan must be submitted by Oct. 1, but they hope
to submit it by July 1.
3. OTHER BUSINESS:
Mr. Svanda stated the MPCA, pending legislative action, wfll be getting $200,000
for the coming biennium starting July 1 to i.nitiate a kind of pilot household
hazardous waste collection program throughout tf�e state. Two people will be
working on this program and will be looking at whether this kind of program
would be worthwfiile to set up on a permanent bzsis, He stated that shortly
after the first of July, they will begin working with various sized communities,
urban communities, rural communities, suburbs, etc., to have a day or two
designated in the community where residents can come and drop off all their
fiazardous wastes--insecticides, pesticides, paint thinners, old paint, shotgun/
rifle shells, etc.--things tfiat should not be taken to a landfill. He stated
that sometime after the first of Julp, tfiey witl 6e fiaving an active solicitation
effort to find oat what communities in �he state would be interested in having
the program he)d in their cortmunity. He believed Eden Prairie had expressed an
interest.
ENVIRONMENTpL QUALITY COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 18, 1985 PAGE 4
Ms. Merriam asked tfie Comnissioners if tfiey would be interested in Fridley
getting involved in a hazardous waste program.
Mr. Svanda stated he would think this program would be very appropriate for
the City to be involved in, particularly with the concern raised when the
Waste Board tried to site an area in the City; also the fact that the City
has FMC, Onan, Medtronics, and Kurt Manufacturing which have hazardous waste
sites.
The Comnissioners agreed they were very interested in Fridley becoming involved
in the MPCA hazardous waste collection program. Mr, Peterson stated he saw
this type of program as really an extension of the recycling program.

ADMINZSTRAT NE STAFF REPORT
4604 2-1/2 Street N. E.
A, PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.07.3D.2C.2 requires a 25 foot minimum setback for an
accessory building exiting onto a side street whe❑ it is within
25 feet of the common property line and when [he lot to the rear
of the corner lot has frontage along the side street.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to a11ow for off-street
parking wi[hou[ encroaching on the public zight-of-way and also for
aesthetic consideration of the neigh6orhood to reduce the building
"line of sight" encroachment into [he neighbor's front yard.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"A long driveway would take up [oo much of garden. Longer driveway
would require more snow shoveling in winter and applican[ has heart
condition that doesn't allow heavy snow shoveling. Long driveway not
necessary as applicant wili make provision for otf-street parking of
one car."
C. ADMII�ISTRATNE STAFF REVIEW:
T}�ere are many garages that face 46th Avenue wi[h less than the
required 25 foot setback (17-1/2 feet was required by the Code when
they were construcCed).
We do, however, recommend at Least a 2G fcot setback for parking cars
in front of the garage door,
Mr. Clartc stated the hearing notice stated a variance was required from
30 feet to an 18 foot setback. He stated this is incorrect and the
required setback is 25 feet and the petitioner i.s requesting 18 feet so
the variance invoLves 7 feeG rather than 12 feet. Re stated the vari-
ance is actually less than what was advertised in the hearing notice.
I�h. Clark presented an aerial photo of [he area and pointed out most
proper[ies have setbacks which range from ll-1/2 to 18-1/2 feet, except
those with tuck-under garages.
Ph. C1ark stated staff would recommend approval for at least a 20 foot
setback to allow room for parking in front of the garage.
Mr. Carroll stated an existi.ng garage has been removed and he plans to
construc[ a new 20 x 22 foot garage,
Mr. Be[zold stated he wasn't sure there was a definite hardship regarding
the loss of garden area and reducing the snow shoveLing. Mr. Betzold
stated it had to be determined how the variance would affect this pro-
perty now as well as in the future.

Pfr. Betzold asked Mr. Carroll if he would make provisions for off-stree[
parking. Mr. Carroll stated he has never parked on the street as long
as he has lived there. He stated there would be room to perk between
the garage and the street.
Ms. Gabel asked if the driveway would be hard surfaced. t�tr. Carroll
stated it would be blacktopped.
I�h. Clark sta[ed a11 dimensions given are from the propert}� line and
there is a 14 foot boulevard. He stated two proper[ies across the
street have garages which are set back 17-11Z fee[.
hh. Plemel stated he cidn't feel this is a big problem if rih. Carroll
would be agreeable to 3 20 foot setba�k as recommended by staff.
Mr. Carroll s[a[ed this would be satisfactory with him.
MOTION BY MR. BARNA, SECONDED B'i MR. PLEMEL, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING,
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AT 7:47 P. M.
Mr, Barna stated several variances were granted in this area and the
petitioner has indica[ed he would be willing to settLe for a 20 foot
setback which he felt would fi[ into the neighborhood.
Mr. P1eme1 stated because there is a 14 foot boulevard, he would be
willing to allow the variance from the required 25 feet to 20 feet.
Ttr. Se[zoid sta[ed he is [roubled by the hardship expressed by the
peti[ioner. He sta[ed to enforce the code in this situation would
onLy make this particular structure sit back farther [han others in
the immediate area.
Ms. Gabel state3 she was not sure about the hardship, but to move this
garage farther back, it may no Longer fit into the neighborhood. She
stated based on the surrounding neighborhood and because there is such
a large boulevard, she would be agreeable [o this variance,

ADMINISTRATNE STAFF REPORT
200 Liberty Stree[ N. E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.07.3D.2C.j requires the side yard width on a street side
of a corner lot to be not Less than 17-1/2 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher
degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" en-
croachment into the neighbor's front yard.
Section 205.07.3D.2C.3 requires that any attacfied or unattached
accessory building which opens on the side street, sha11 be at least
25 fee[ from the property line of a side street.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to a11ow for off-stree[
parking without encroaching on the pubLic right-of-way and also [he
aesthetic consideration of the neighborhood to reduce the building
"Line of sight" encroachment into the neigh6or's front yard.
Section 205.07.3D.3a requires a rear yard ef not less than 1/4 the
lot depth uith not less than 25 feet permitted or more Chan 40 feet
required for the main building.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard
space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood.
Sec[ion 205.07.3C requires that not more than 25 percent of the area
of a lot shall be covered by the main building and all accessory
buildings.
Public purpose served 6y this requirement is to eliminate the condi-
tion of over crowding of residential areas.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"I would like to buy this house on Lot 31-32, Block 6, Spring Brook
Park, and put a 14 by 24 addition on it with a three car garage 24 by
36. I want to keep the addition and garage in line with the house
with the roof Lines the same so it doesn't look Like it's been added
onto. I need the extra space on the house because we plan on having
more children and we need the extra Living space. The house now is
768 square feet. The garage I need because we have three vehicles,
APPEALS COAfTIISSION MEETING JITNE 25 1985 paGE 5
one which gets stored in the winters. If we had a[hree car
garage a11 the vehir:les could be parked in the garage or [he
driveway and not on [he street in front of ehe house, which
would be safer than if on [he street. They block the view of
on-coming traffic at the corner, children playing can run out
from in front of or behind the car and get hit. I know this can
happen because it happened to my sister 15 years ago at the same
location, my father lives across the stree[ and my grandfather
owns this house, he just passed away, This house was appraised
for $35�000 in need of a Lot of remodeling, in a neighborhood of
houses that have values worrh $70,000 to $80,000. So with the
money and work I want to spend to make [his house nice, with an
addition and garage remodeling it would have the same value as the
res[ of the homes in the neighborhood so i[ would be benefitting
the community and me. I have discussed this with the neighbors
and they all would like to see improvements. The amount of foot-
age we are talking about is so very li[tle, 6 feet in front and 12
feet on the side, and when we get the alley vacated only 6 feet
then."
C, ADMINISTRATNE STAFF REVIEW:
There is an existing house and detached garage on this Lot. The
existing house is 16 fee[ from the side stree[. The petitioner
plans [o make extensive improvemen[s on the property which include
a 14 x 24 foot house addition and a 36 x 24 foot garage.
The City Code does allow the use of one half of an a11ey for reai
yard setback and therefore the petitioner woulu have a 33 foot
rear yard; 4.5 feet Iess than the required 25 percent of ttie lot
depth.
If the garage wid[h could be reduced t� 31.5 feet, the peti[ior�er
would not need a cear yard variance or a lot coverage variance, if
one half of the a11ey is used for setback and lot area.
The setback variance off the side street (Ashton) is necessary to
build in line with [he existing house.
If the Soard approves these request, the staff recommends [ha[ tF.e
Board recommend a hard surface driveway.
Afr. Clark presen[ed an aerial photo of the area and pointed out detached
garages in the area have se[backs ranging from 22 [0 38-1/2 fee[, He
s[ated detached garages are allowed to be built three feet from the rear
property line, however, attached garages must be [en feet.
I�. Clark stated the �eer yard and lo[ coverage variances could be
eliminated if the size of the garage was reduced.
I�h. Super stated he changed his plans for the garage and will build a
detached, rather than an attached garage, which would reduce the
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 25 1985 PAGE 6
request for a variance from the side yard setback from 25 to 23 feet.
He stated, however, he still wanted to keep the same size for [he
garage.
Mr. Super stated he has a hoEby vehicle, as we11 as two other vehicles,
and his daughter would be driving in the future, and felt he needed
this size garage.
Mr. Clark stated, if the garage is detached, the varia�es needed would
be a reduction in the side yard setback from 17-1/2 to 16 feet; a re-
duction in the side yard setback from 25 to 23 fee[ for the garage; and
an increase in the lot coverage from 25 to 26 percent, or about 1% over
what is allowed. He stated there would crot he a need for the rear yard
variance.
Mr. Plemel asked Mr. Super if he could ge[ by with a 32 by 24 foot
garage, rather than the 36 foot width. 2�. Super s[ated he would
realLy like the larger garage so he can store all his vehicles.
hh-. Plemel stated he felt this was a very Lazge garage for such a small
lot,
P1s. Gabel stated when there are this many variances requested, it is
really overbuilding for the size of the lot. She stated she hoped
there could be some compromise and still albow hh. Super to do the
majority of things he wished.
Mr. Super submitted a petition signed by residents in his area indi-
cating they had no objection to his buflding plans.
MOTION BY MR, BARNA, SECONDED BY Mtt, PLEPIEL, TO RECEIVE THIS PETITION
DATED JUNE Z4, 1985.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CFUIIRPERSON CABEL DECIARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANI2�USLY.
Ms. Gabel stated the size of the lot may impose a hardship, 6ut felt
some of the plans Mr. Super was attempting may be a self-imposed hard-
ship.
I�h. Super stated heintended to applj• for vacation of the alley and once
this is accomplished, it k•ould add six more feet to his.property.
htr. Clark stated if one�half of the alLey is incl�ded in figuring the
lot coverage, Mr. Super would be one percent over what is allowed or
about 103 square feet.
Mr. Barna asked how much the garage would have to be reduced in order to
mee[ the lot coverage requirements of [he code. i�fr. Clark stated it
probably should be shortened a little more than four feet to make it
eicher 30 or 32 feet.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VQTING AYE, CH�IIRPERSON GABEL DECIARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AT 8:12 P. M.
Mr. Plemel s[ated [here is no neighborhood objection [o Mr. Super's
plans, however, he really didn't feel the size of the garage should
be more [han 32 by 24 feet on this small lot.
Mr. Betzold stated he would concur the plans of the garage should be
altered to be consistent with the size of the lot. He felt a garage
more than 32 feet is larger than any he has seen in this area.
�, $arna stated he would be in favor of the 16 foot variance, as we11
as the 23 foot variance, in order to maintain the continui[y of the
structure. He stated he can sympathize wi[h the petitioner for wanting
more room for his vehicles, however, with this sma11 1ot, he would
be in favor of a 32 foot wide garage.
Ms. Gabel stated she would agree wi[h the variance for [he house and
garage relating to the setbacks, but thinks the size of the garage is
excessive for the lot. She stated she would be in favor of a 3z by 24
foot garage, but not any larger.
Ms, Gabel stated the public hearing notice indicates the Appeals Commission
would have the final action on this request, �nless there is objection
from surraunding neighbors, the City s[aff, or the petitioner does not
agree with the Commission's decision.
Ms. Gabe1 s[ated [he Coartnission is willing to approve the variances,
with [he exception of the size of the garage. Ms. Gabel advised Mr.
Super he may concur or otherwise exercise his option to have tf.is
request continue to the City Council, [hrough che Flanning Commission,
wi[h only a recommendation from the Appeals Commission.
Nh. Super sCated he would concur wi[h what the Appeals �o`cm�ission would
approve as he wished to get star[ed with his building plans.

had a hobby vehicle, as well as two other vehicles,
and his daughter would be driving in the future.
Since Mr. Super had indicated at one time during the
discussion that his daughter was 7 years old, Mr. Betzold
stated he wanted the minutes to reflect that "his
daughter would be driving in the ver far future". It
was not somethi_ng that was imminen�oening.
Page 7, paragraph 5: Cf�ange in punctuation to read as follows: "Mr, Betzold

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
4650 Main Street N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.18.3C.1a requires that the maximum percent of the area of a
lot allowed to be covered 6v the main 6uildfng and all accessory buildinqs
is forty percent (40%} for a single story 6uildinq in an M-2 zoning.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide for adequate
parking, open landscaped areas, and to limit congestion of industrial
areas.
6. STATED HARDSHIP:
Increase of personnel and business needs has made new office space in
present location imperative.
C. ADMIP�ISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
This addition will fi1T the space between two existing office projections
out the east side of the manufacturing plant. It will, however, cause
them to exceed the lot ceveraqe by about 12 percent (from 40Y to 41.45%).
The addition, because of its location, will not occupy any space necessary
for adequate green area.
If tf�e Board recommends approval of this reauest, the staff recommends
that you stipulate that the owner dedicate a 15 foot bikeway easement
along Main Street on top of tf�e existing 20 foot storm sewer easement.
Mr. Robinson stated the variance was caused by a proposed new addition,
5,504 sq, ft. in area. It does increase the lot coverage to 41.45%. As was
indicated in the Administrative Staff Report, Staff would want a 15 ft. bikeway
easement over the existinq storm sewer easement.
APPEALS COh44IS5I0N MEETING, JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 3
Mr. Keefe stated what they want to do is expand their office facility. The
fw ilding was orginally designed for the expansion, so the addition will be
expanded across the front and it will blend in with the rest of the building.
He stated they need the additional office space so they can handle the business
they presently have and any future business.
Ms. Gabel asked if there would be adequate parking with the addition of the
new office faciliiy.
Mr. Keefe stated that has already been addressed, and they fiave adequate park-
ing for both the present and future expansion.
Mr. James Sanders, 4639 Main St., stated his only concern was if there were
going to be any additional driveways connected to the addition.
Mr. Keefe stated the present driveway into the piant will remain, and there
will be no new driveways.
MOTION BY MR. BETZOLD� SECONDED BY MR. BARNA� TO CLOSF. THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARF.D SHE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AT 7:44 p,M.
Mr. Betzold stated that as the staff report indicated, the proposed expansion
of this building is not going to occupy any space that is necessary for the
adequate green areas. Considering the size of this project and what the company
is trying to accomplish, 1t did not seem offensive to the intention of the code.
They are trying to line up the two buildings and to restrict them to 40% might
cause more problems for them in building, plus it might be a moot point in the
future if they do expand and purchase more pNoperty. He stated he would be in
favor of recommending approval of the variance.
Mr. Barna stated that as long as tfiey are continuing the same front building
line and are not increasing the visible lot covera9e as far as anyone could tell,
he would be in favor of recommending approval of the variance.
Mr. Plemel stated this was a very minimal request. He liked to see business
in Fridley prosper, and he had no object{on the the variance.
Ms. Gabel stated she agreed with the statements made by the other commissioners.

Mr. Jim Determan, Determan Welding & Tank Service, stated that when the City
put in a bikeway in front of his property on 73rd Ave. last year, he was
assessed $11/foot. He wanted the petitioner to 6e aware that a cost might
be involved with this easemeni if a bikeway is built.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETTNG, JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 4
Mr. Keefe stated that if there were any costs involved, he would have to have
more specific information before he could agree to this stipulation.
Ms. Gabel stated the Appeals Commission was not able to address that question
specifically. They did not know the circumstances concerning Mr. Determan's
situation. She stated Staff couid c�eck into this and have the matter addressed
at the City Council meeting.

HEARING OPEN AT 7:51 P.M,
Chairperson Gabel read the Administrative StaPf Report:
AOMLNISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
70 — 62 1/2 Way N,E.
A, PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIRETIENT:
Section 205.04.6a.4 requires that on existing structures, vestibules
may extend not more than five (5) feet into the required front yards
provided they are only one (1) story and do not exceed fifty (50)
square feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to lessen the encroachment
into the neighbors' front yard "line of sight" and to allow for
aesthetically pleasing open areas around residential structures.
B, STATED HARDSHIP:
"I am putting a basement under the existing home which is only 20 feet
wide and makes it too narrow to make a good and safe entrance to the
house and basement. The stair well would have to extend into the
living room if only a 10` by 5' entranceway is constructed and would
not give me room for steps. I would like to build a 8' by 10' foyer
on the front of my house to allow room to place the stair system outside
my existing house."
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETIN6, JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 5
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REUIEW:
The code allows for a 5 foot vestibule; the petitioner would like an
8 foot vestibule in order to also incorporate a stairway. If the
Board approves this request, the staff has no stipulations to suggest.
Mr. Robinson stated that with the variance, the vestibule would extend into
the front yard 8 ft, instead of 5 ft, He stated there was 48 ft. to the curb;
subtracting the right of way and vestibule,it would leave a setback of 25 ft.
from the foyer to the rigfit of way line. He stated Staff had no stipulations
or requirements to suggest, and the hardsfiip seemed well stated.
Mr. Klingman stated he wanted to put a basement under his house and have the
whole house raised 4 ft., so tfie vestibule he would like to add on would come
in at ground level, go up half a flight and then over and down a half a flight
to the basement. Even at 8 ft, it will be crowded, but at 5 ft., there was no
way he would be able to get steps going up and down and still make the corner,

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLRRED THE PUBLIC
XEARING CLASED RT 7:59 P.M.
Mr. Barna stated he had no real Qroblem with the additional 3 ft, into the
front yard. He did not think it would harm any neighbor's line of sight. As
far as the hardship, there was definitely a hardship with the amount of space
that wou7d be available for a stairwell. As far as losing the space inside
the house, the house was not that large anyway, and this would give him a large
airlocked-type entryway both to the upstairs and the downstairs that would
conserve energy.
Mr. Plemel stated there was no neighborhood objection, and the petitioner
appeared to be trying to improve his property. He had no objection to the
variance.
Mr. Betzold stated because of the uniqueness of the land, he did not know that
the petitioner could do too much other than what he was doing. As far as
blocking the line of sight, he thought everyone along that area was tryinq to
block his/her line of sight to East River Road anyway, so he did not think that
was a specific concern. He would have no objection to the variance.
Ms. Gabel stated she was in agreement wi'tE� wfiat was stated by the other
comnissioners. She ttwught the hardship in terms of the space was very obvious.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAfF REPORT
1241 - 72nd Ave.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205,17,5d requires that all parking and hard surface areas shall
be no closer than five (5j feet from the main building,
Publfc purpose served by this requirement is to protect the building
from unnecessary maintenance due to vehicles hitting the building.
Section 205.17,5b requires that all parking and hard surface areas
shall be no closer than five (5) feet from any side lot line except for
a comnon drive approved by the adjoining property owners and the City.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to reduce visual pollution
in front yards, in areas adjacent to lot lines, and to separate parking
with landscaped areas.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"We need the extra space for room to manuever the large trucks and
sem�;-trailers which are essentiai to our business."
C. ADMINISTRATIUE STAFF REVIEW:
There are two separate variances requested involving two separate con-
struction phases. Phase I involves construction of a 50 by 82 square
foot metal building and a 85 by 130 square foot masonry building along
with tf�e instaliation of curbs in front of the existing and proposed
structure nearest to 72nd Avenue,
Phase II involves the construction of a parking lot along the entire
west side of the lot.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 7
The petitioner wants to place all new curbs 2 feet off buildings and
property lines to allow him as much space as possible to manuever trucks
and equipment. His building setbacks are adequate to install all curbs
and parking surfaces to code.
We feel tfie petitioner must prove his hardship to the degree necessary
to warrant the granting of the variances.
phase II (the west parking lot) is not scheduled for completion until
June 1988. Therefore, any variance granted for that phase should be
extended to an appropriate date.
Ms. Gabel stated she was puzzled about this variance request because, to her
knowledge, the Appeals Commission fias never granted a variance for somethinq
that was in the future.
Mr. Robinson stated this was a unique situation in that the City Staff has
been trying to work with Mr. Determan to come up with some type of phasing
that would accomnodate him in bringing �is property up to code.
Mr. Robinson stated the Comnissioners had a letter to Determan Welding and
Tank Service whicfi was a developmer.t agreement they have been working on for
Mr. �eterman. Staff wouid like to have this as a stipulation of the variance.
Mr. Robinson stated that basically two buildings are invulved. The main issue
was the parking. Presently there is limited parking. Sixty-three parkinq
stalls are proposed along the west end of the property, The City fias no pro6lem
with the 50' x 82' building going ahead as planned, but before the 85' x 130'
building can be built, variances must be approved and Rice Creek Watershed
District ruling on the company's plans to pipe and fill ditch section.
Mr. Determan stated he was in disagreement with several of the items stipulated
in the development agreement. Had he received the letter before he paid the
�100 to file for the variance, he would not have filed for the variance.
Mr. Betzold stated that what really concerned the Appeals Commission at this
time was the setback for the curbing from 5 ft, to 2 ft. Why did Mr. Determan
want this variance?
Mr. Determan stated that land was very expensive. They are lookinq at about
1800 ft, of curbing. With 5 ft. from the fence, that represented about 1/2
acre of land, and land was too expensive to put between a fence and a curb.
By the original building, it was 70 ft. back from the right of way. If they
take 5 ft, off the curb, it would be very difficult for the trucks to get
thrrough, He just felt that land was too expensive and valuable to be put
between a fence and curb. He needed more land to get tfie things done he wanted
to get done.
Ms. Gabel suggested the Commission review the development agreement with
Mr. Determan to find out what he was in agreement with and what he was not
in agreement with,
APPEALS CONMISSION MEETING, JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 8
l. The City agrees to issue a building permit for a 50' by 82' building
provided the company issues to the City a$20,000 performance bond to
remain open and available to the City until all improvements related
to this agreement and to plans dated 5-17-85 including landscaping,
parking, drainage, and other improvements are completed, Bond is to
be provided prior to any building permit being issued.
Mr, Determan stated he had no problem with this stipulation.
2, Provide two handicapped parking stalls each 12' by 20' in size with
appropriate signs before occupancy permit for 50' by 82' building
is granted.
Mr. Determan had no problem with this stipulation.
3. Remove tanks stored outside of fence by July 31, 1985.
Mr, Determan fiad no problem with this stipulation,
4. Reduce items stored above screening fence height by July 31, 1985,
Mr, Determan stated he could not do that. The typical size for a
tank was °` by 21' long, Some vertical tanks are 3D' - 40' high.
Even laying down, they are 13-14' high.
Mr. Robinson stated the City was just concerned about the visibility
from the right of way.
Ms. Gabel suggested that in the future, as Mr. Determan got rid of
tanks and as he got more tanks that he try to put the taller tanks
in the rear.
Mr. Determan stated they do try to have the larger tanks in back.
5. Clean area in storage yard for temporary parking by Sept. 1, 1985,
Mr, Determan stated he could not agree to this stipulation, It was
too soon. He would need at least two more months.
6. Upon approval of variances related to 85' by 130' buildinq and Rice
Creek Watershed District ruling on company's plans to pipe and fil7
ditch section, tfie City will issue a building permit for said 85' by
130' building.
Mr. Determan stated he was told by Mr, Flora and Mr. Burch that this
was handled last year.
Ms. Gabel stated there was nothing the Appeals Commission could do
about this. The petitioner would have to discuss this with Mr. F)ora
and Mr. Burch.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 9
7. If Rice Creek Watershed District does not approve the company's
ditch plans, then the company rrill provide a curbed, hardsurfaced
parking area with 63 stalls, constructed per code, in the existing
storage area. This parking shall be provided before any occupancy
permit for the 85' by 130' building is granted. If ditch plans
approved, then items 15 and 16 of tfiis memo prevaSl.
Mr. Determan stated fie was in agreement with this stipulation.
8, Complete 50' by 82` building - Sept. 1985
Mr, Determan stated tfie date should be changed to Nov. 1, 1985.
9. Complete 85` by 130' building - Dec. 1985.
Mr. Determan stated this should 6e changed to fall of 1986.
10. Provide landscape plan for north side to include street trees and vines
on fence by Sept. 1, 1985,
Mr, Determan was in agreement with this stipulation.
11. Landscaping, including automatic sprinkling on north and south sides
of building installed - May 1986,
Mr, Determan stated this was an unreasonable request.
12. Access to temporary parking must be from the south or hardsurface
apron, approved by City, shall be provided at north gate.
Mr. Determan stated he was basically in agreement with this. The
agreement he had with Phil Dommer was to either take the qates out or
snap them on. If there was a complaint with dirt being on the street,
he would take care of tfie problem,
13. Convert d;tch to 72" pfpe culvert system - �une 1988,
Mr. Determan stated he would agree to this if the City would qet him
the permit they promised him last year from the Rice Creek Watershed
District.
14. The company agrees to accept all future responsibility for the
maintenance and replacement, if necessary, of the proposed 72" pioe
cuivert system.
Mr. Determan stated this was a ridiculous request. To put i� in at
his expense and maintain it was ridiculous.
APPEALS COFt1ISSI0N MEETING, JULY 9, 1985 PAGE ]0
15. Provide parking, hardsurfaced and cur5ed, per code, for employees -
June 1988, to be located over present ditch area.
�
16, provide parking, hardsurfaced and curbed, per code, for after-hours
pick-up - June 1988, to be located over present ditch area.
Mr. Determan stated he was in agreement with this stipulation.
Ms. Gabel stated that the Appeals Corrmission was not a planning bod,y and did
not have the staff at this meeting to answer tfie questions they would need
answered before they could tack on the development agreement as a stipulation.
She really felt tfiis needed to be worked out with the people who participated
in it and probab7y tfie City Council who fias more autfiority. She stated the
Appeals Cortmission should just address the variances and if it should be contin-
gent upon something, they could do tfiat,
Mr. Betzold stated that even thougfi tfie Appeals Cortmission was going to only
iook at the curbing, was it Mr. Determan's intent to go ahead with the variances
recognizing that fie would have to deal witfi the development agreement with the
City?
Mr. Determan stated he would like to go afiead with the variance request, and he
would try to get some things waived with the City.
MOTION BY MR, BARNA� SECONDED BY MR. BETZOLD� TO CLOSE TXE PUBLZC HEAI2ING.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED TNE PUBLIC
HEARZNG CLOSED RT 8:53 P.M,
Mr. Barna stated he wouTd be inclined with this particular tvpe of bus�ness
and this particular site to say tf�at 5 ft, between the curb and the fence or
building was just wasting 3 ft. of space. It was not merelv a situation like
a small business development. There were quite a few warehouse areas in the
northwest corners of the City where there are 2 ft.curbs or less. In this
type of business where they are talking principally about trucks, a 5 ft, curb
was not going to stop the truck from backinq into a building. A 5 ft. curb or
2 ft. curb would not make much difference. As far as the driveway width,
�hen pulling a 30 ft. tractor and trailer, he would rather see a 40-45 ft.
driveway than a 35 ft. driveway. He would be in favor of a 2 ft. setback from
the building and from tf�e driveway.
Mr, 8etzold stated that considering the nature of the cargo that wou]d be on
the trucks, he would be inclined to try to make sure the drivers of those trucks
have ample space to maneuver. He was concerned about possible parking spaces,
but that was something that could be addressed by the City Council, He felt
this land was also somew(�at unique to the extent that at such time Determan
Weiding was not doing 6usiness tf�ere any more, a successor business would
probably be using tF�e property for a sirnilar-type business. He did not think
the variances on tf�e land in this case would lock in and cause something contrary
APPEALS COMMISSIOPJ h1EETI�lG, JULY 9, 1985 PAGE 11
to what the code says. Recognizing that there is a lot of other things in the
agreement that needed to be addressed, these could be addressed at City
Council. He would be in favor of the 2 ft. curbing.
Mr. Plemel stated this certainly was a unique-type business. This tvpe of
business was not ever going to be a beautiful spot, and 5 ft. or 2 ft, would
not make that much difference. Because of the uniqueness and problems, he
would urge staff to make accommodations wfierever possible. The petitioner
was apparently trying to clean up the site and provide more storaqe.
Ms. Gabel stated tf�at in terms of strictly the variances, the nature of this
business, and the type of material that is handled, she, too, would rather see
them have a wider dreiveway. Regarding the matters in the development agree-
ment, she felt these sf�ould be handled 6y staff and City Council because, as
she had mentioned earlier, tf�e Appeals Commission does not have the �nformation
or the staff present to explain what has haapened.
