Mr. We71an stated Ms. Merriam has been trying to contact Mr. Beennan of Beerman Services to find out how the participation rate is in the recvcling pick-uo program. Mr. Robinson stated they should probably invite �4r. Beerman to a EQC meet�ng to talk about the program. Mr. Minton stated he lived in a townhouse. He stated he and some of his neighbors put out recyclables for pic�-up last month, but the recyclables were never picked up. When he called Mr. Beerman, he was told that recvclables were nat collected from multfple units. Mr. Wellan stated they had pretty much restricted the pick-up program to single fanily residences. Mr. Minton stated that fact had not been made clear to him, and it would be nice if the recycling pick-up program included townhouses which were not the same as apartment buildings. Mr. Saba stated a centrally located pick-up spot at townhouse comp)exes wou]d be a good idea. Mr. Wellan stated this was something that should be discussed with P1r. Beerman, PLANNIIlG COP9MISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 9, 1985 PAGE 3 3 Ms. Schnabel suggested that sor�e type of pre-printed card be developed and printed in the citv newsletter that a hoMeowner could cut out, fill in the day and �reek of their pick-up, and post somewhere in their home to remind them of their nick-Up day. Mr. Robinson stated something like that could be put in the city newsletter. Ms. Schnabel stated she had read that Ramsey County and HenneRln Countv and several other counties have con�osting sites. Since there still seems to be an interest in cor�posting, she wondered if Anoka Countv iaould be willin� to r,ut a compost site sone��rhere centrally located where it could be shared w:th Frialev and Colur�bia Heights,for example. Mr. Wellan stated they have talked about cor�posting in the City of Fridlev manv times. It isn't the problem of just dumping the leaves and grass clippinqs; it is the problem of Maintenance. He stated they could discuss this with Anoka County and see if there was any interest. Mr. Robinson stated the mandatory la�r has passed that there will be no land filling after 1990, and 25-30;: of all solid waste is grass cliopinqs and leaves. Sonething will have to be done soon. Ms. Schnabel stated this was another good reason why the County should get involved. OTHER 6USINE55: a. Parkinq Stall Size Mr. Robinson stated that as the Commission knew, abou! a year aqo, U�itv Hospital applied for a special use permit for the exoansion of their �arkinn lot, but because of cost nro6lems and exoansion, it was delayed, l�lhen they finally got around to �utting in the narkinq lot, they decided to trp for 9 ft, stalls with a variance rather than put in a piece of qarking lot that might have to be rer�oved at sone point in tiMe. The 9 ft. stalls would be only for emoloyee oarking. Mr. Robinson stated that as the issue r�oved throuqh the Appeals Conmission and City Council, there tiaere some questions about �ahat other cities were doinq regarding parking stall size. He stated the suburbs were polled, and it appeared that Fridley and Brooklyn Park are the only two suburbs which require ten ft, stall widths. Six of the cities allor� nine ft, stalls while three allow 8'z ft. stalls. Several cities also allow for a oercentaqe of the total stalls to be designated as cor�pact stalls under certain circumstances. Mr, Robinson stated that the issue of smaller oarking stalls was discussed a few years ago and vetoed by the City Council. Some advantaqes to smaller stall size are less hard-surfaced area, less cost for development, and less run-off, On the other hand, it is hard to get big cars in and out oF smaller stalls. PLANNIIJG COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 9, 1985 PAGE 4 Mr. Robinson stated that in the case of Unity Hospital, he felt the variance was warranted because the 9 ft. stail width was just for the employee park- inq lot. By reducing the stall width, they are saving green space and will have a greater buffer between residential and tfie hospital parking lot. Mr. Robinson stated the question has now come up: Should the City be looking at 9 ft, staTls? The City Councii has asked for some input from the Planning Commission. Ms. Gabel stated t�e reason she voted in favor of the variance to 9 ft. stall width for Unity Hosoital was because the 9 ft. stall width was for employee parking only. She felt employee parking was more stable parking. People are parking and staying at least a 4-9 hr, shift, and there are not cars coming in and out all day. Mr. Saba stated he tho�ight what made logical sense at this point was to look at the possibility of a compact car percentage like some of the other corrmunities have done. Ms. Gabel stated Un'tty Hospital was not in favor of the Appeals Commission`s suggestion of setting aside spaces for compact cars. They felt there could be some problems wit(� employees because of where the compact car spaces were located. Some emp]oyees with larger cars might not like it that the people with compact cars got to park closer to tfie buflding, or vice versa, Mr. Wellan stated that the cost of everything is a big concern these days, and the City shou7d not overburden their industry by keeping limitations such as 10 ft. parking stalls. He felt a 9 ft. sta7] was adequate. He felt a 10 ft, stall was a waste of space, especially in an emoloyee parking l�t. Employees tend to be more careful and respectful of other people's cars _ than people do in a general parking lot. Ms, 6abe1 stated she felt the City has been sanewhat inconsistent, Nine ft. oarking stalls were ailowed by the NRA and the City for the Target emp7oyee parking lot in the Center City Redeveiopment area. They shouid decide what they are going to do and do it. If 9 ft, parking stall width is the wav they want to handle it, then it should be handled by changing the coAe and not with a lot of variances. MOTION BY MR. MINTON, SECONDED BY MR. WELLAN, TO HE'COMMEND TO CZTY COUNCIL THAT TXE ZONING ORDINANCE BE CHANGED TO STRTE THAT 9 FT, PARKING STALLS BE ALIAWED FOR DESZGNATED EMPLOYEE PARKZNG AREAS. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANSMOUSLY, b, Possible Development on 5outhwest Quadrattt of Center Citv Redevelopment District Mr, Robinson stated there has been some interest from a couple of developers in the southwest corner of the downtown area Qf the Center City Redeveloa- PLANNINr, CnM�1I5SI0N �4EETI"�G, OCTOBER 9, 1985 P�r,E 5 ment District. Some of the things that cnuld be developed there would require a number of special use nerrvits and possible variances. 7hev are quickly gettinq into an area of development in the city where they will be seeing so�e parking ranns. The Fridley Plaza Clinic just receive� approval for two small parking ramos. The possible develooment on the southwest corner mould require a parkinq ramp and others might be needed on the drive-in site. �dr. Robinson stated Staff's thinking at this point is that rather than qo to the Planning Commission with numerous specia] use permits that they try to again utilize the S-2 District where a preliminary plan would be approved. With S-2 zoning, all changes would require formal review hv the Planning Commission and City Council but would not require additional public hearings after the preliminary plan was approved with the rezoning to S-2. Mr. Robinson stated one problem was that the City only allows up to six story buildings in the City. The proposal they are lookinq at for the south+,�est corner was for a 10-story residential complex in conjunction with commercial. They are looking at a multiole storv building on the drive-in site, so there are potential parkinq problems, lot coverage problems, and pcssibly other variances. Mr. Robinson stated the other thinq discussed was the change to C-3 zoning in the Zoning Code to allo�i for qreater lot coveraqe because of parkinq ramps and modifying the height restrictions so it accommosates the development. Ms. Gabe1 stated that "modifying the zoning to acconimodate the development" was somethinq that concerned her. That was sayinq--let's not let the develop- ment work within the community and the way it has developed over the years. She wanted develooment to happen, but she did not want the develo�er arritinq the code for the City, This r,articular area cauld very easily be over- developed. Mr. Saba stated he agreed, He felt there was a biq danqer in overdevelonin�. Ms. Schnabel stated that the possibility of 6uildings over six stories should be revietaed �aith the Fire Department to get their reaction. Ms. Gabel stated there could be a lot of problems with a ten-story hiqh building in this area. How close would the building be to the residential area and how high? What was the visual impact? What was the traffic imoact? These were all ir�portant questions. Mr. Kondrick stated he would be in favor of a ten-story elderly highrise in this location. He felt it was needed, and the southwest corner would be an excellent location. Ms. Gabel stated it made good sense to deal with the neiqhbors first so they know up front what is going to happen. If they just rezo�e the property to S-2, the ballgame is over. Then the developer can do whatever he wants and that doesn't mean the neighbors would then have any inout; whereas, if they rezoned it with a nlan to go with it, the neigh6ors would have a chance to give their input. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 9, 1985 PAGE 6 Ms. Schnabel agreed. Once the property was rezoned to S-2, if the developer is not able to follow through with the plan they have anproved, then the S-2 zoning was already there. Ms. Gabel stated when they are talking about as big a neighborhood as there was in this area that would be impacted, she thought the City had some responsibilities to live up to the current zoning, and they shouidn't do something that would be impactinq the entire neighborhood, There was no way s�e would turn her back on a whole neiqhborhood like that and say this development was for the good of tfie whole community. There was no way that it is good for the whole community, Tf the City has the neighbor- hood's input and the neighbors are given the opportunity to speak, the City can make these things happen in a way that is a lot more conducive to good pub7ic relations. She understood there were going to be some people who will not want any change, no matter what it is. Mr. Robinson stated there were three options: (1) rezone to S-2 with a preliminary plan; (2) change C-3 zoning to accommodate the development; (3} leave the code the way 9t is now. Ms. Schnabel stated she would be against changing the zoning code on G 3 zoning. The Commissioners basically agreed that rezoninq to S-2 witfi a development plan was probably the best way to go. They were concerned as to who would make the judgement cail to bring the plan back to the Plannin9 Cornmission if there were substantial changes to that plan. When there are substantial changes to that p1an, the neighbors should definitely be involved. Mr. Robinson stated they might want to put special stipulations on the development p7an which related to significant changes to the plan. ADJOURf�l�1ENT : MOTION BY MR. KONDRICK, SF,CONDED BY MR.

NMQ/ms August 7, 1985 As I previously indicated to you in my memo NSS-7-2 I could not find evidence of service work beyond that which was Connected with the business of repair and installation of gasoline pumps and other related service station equipment. I did research with Sue of the planning department the conditions of the special use permit issued in 197B. Mr. Steve Hansen in his presentation before the Planning Comnission on Decenber 6, 1978, in response to a question from Mr. Harris regarding storage of containers, stated 'they would possibly be storing 55 gallon drums of hoist oil and motor oil; they would want to keep the underground storage tanks that are presently there for fueting their own trucks and make use of them, so they would not be storing anything hazardous above ground." On the day of the fire there were 55 gallon drums labeled as a hazardous waste stored as well as 55 gallon drums of a polyester resin with a relatively severe fire hazard classification. It would appear to me that present use is not consistent with the use described when the special use permit was requested and subsequently granted.

Fire Cbief, Bob Aldrich, noted 55 gallon dru¢� Izbeled es haz�rdous waste as uell as 55 gallon drums of a polyester resin xith a relatively severe fire bazard classification stored above ground in your yard area. Let me call your attention to the minutes of the Plannir,g Commission meetir.g of December 6, 1978 vhere you stated that you would store aot6ing dange^ous a0ove ground.

S11�C\'ES07'd Si17/ (6/7) S7)-R190 October 11, 1985 Mr. James Robinson Civic Center 6431 University Ave. N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 Mr. Robinson: In reference to our prior conversations regarding Minnesota Petroleum Service, I am explaining below Che specific information you requested, along with my feelings on the matter. During our meeting, which was after your letter of August, 1985, I felt that the specifics of what our company does had been indicated to the City of Fridley. In order to go into great detail would cover a great deal of material. Perhaps your greatest concern is what we, or the petroleum industry, deals with asfar as supplies, equipment, materials, etc. I get this feeling from the statement you made "Let me call your attention to the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of Dec. 6, 1978, where you stated that you would store nothing dangerous above ground." However, as I read the same minutes, what was said was "They would possibly be storing 55 gallon drums for hoist oil and motor oil. They wouid want to keep the underground storage tanks that are presently there for fueling their own trucks, and make use of them so they would not have anything that dangerous aboveground". When a person comes to defining dangerous, we will find that many things are, or could be, dangerous: The foods we eat, the medication we take, the way we fuel our cards, the manner in which we change oil in equipment, the vapors we inhale, how we drive, etc. I get the feeling that because you do not have a complete understanding of what we do, you would like to see us leave the City of Fridley. Our company, our people and myself have extended cooperation to the City of Fridley and the neighborhood to inform them as to the nature of our business. We could go on and perhaps never reach an agreement, but I really do believe that you care. I do not feel that Minnesota Petroleum Service has ever abandoned our original intent for the business and services to our customers, and therefore, should be allowed to replace the small area which was damaged by the fire which you had previously denyed our request to rebuild. You requested in your letter of August 19, 19$5, £or us to define our intent and address the exterior storage of materials at the site. It was indicated that some of the materials which were temporarily at the location on University Avenue on the day of the fire presented a "relatively severe fire hazard classification", I would like to note 31 City of Fridley October 11, 1985 Page Two that these materials (Novolac Phenolic resin and unsaturated polyester resins) present no more danger than paint thinners, gasoline, etc. You indicated that you wished that portion of the business to be removed from the area. We have done this. I don't know if these items were necessarily in violation, but we were looking for a storage/warehouse area because of space requirements for Minnesota Petroleum. We had previously discussed expanding our operation to the North of our area with the City and the present owner of the land, We needed more storage. We were told that we could perhaps get a variance if we were to erect a building immediately. We no longer need this space because we acquired the other warehouse. We are simply asking to be able to rebuild what we had. Listed below are the items which would be stored in the outside area. Inventory of exterior/interior lighting fixtures for resale, Inventory of hydraulic hoists and accessories for resale. Inventory of both new and used dispensing equipment for resale. The items could, if necessary, be modified in our shop area to meet customer's requirements. Inventory of compressed air systems, including compressor, air dryers, pressure vessels, etc. Inventory of pipe, fitting, manholes, fill caps, vent caps, emergency fire valves for our own installation use and resale. Inventory of general public items such as transfer pumps, floor creeper, oil dispensers, automotive ramps, 265 gal. fuel oil tanks, gauges, etc. Inventory of bagged concrete (68//-90�), blacktop, cold patch, floor dry for resale. Inventory of miscellaneous materials such as light ballasts, light bulbs, replacement lenses, hydraulic oils, motor oils, nozzles, hoses and repair _ or replacement items. Temporary storage of such items necessary to service and install equipment such as service vehicles, installation and testing equipment, portable air compressors, portable welder, torches, transfer pumps. Temporary storage ot items needed to perform services for customers during different seasons throughout the year, such as small portable tanks and drums to remove contaminates from underground/aboveground tanks and insure pure product for the customer tex; water in gasoline, diesel fuel, water in hydraulic oil, water in compressed air system.) Minnesota Petroleum Service does abide by all M.P.C.A. and Federal PCA regulations concerning handling of any hazardous wastes. Even though Minnesota Petroleum had a fire, this was not caused by the storage of materials. The resin materials did not spread the fire, and had the heat not been so intense, these materials may not have even been damaged. You stated that Bob Aldrich noted certain items in our yard. When the Fire Department arrived, I notified all concerned about the resins, and did not try to "hide" anything. The resins that were here were only stored temporarily due to the fact that they were for specific jobs we had, and that they only have a shelf live of approximately 45 days. cicy of Fridley October 11, 1985 Page Three Perhaps we could have avoided some problems if we had sent you a diagram of our yard and what was stored where. I do have one of the yard prior to the fire if you wish it. I will also give you a new one which will be current and accurate when we get our yard finished. Since one problem is the storage of "polyester resins", we have moved into an industrial zoned area, out of Fridley, and have approval to do so. We do though have a few items to finish before everything is 100%, and we will be more than happy to notify you of its location as soon as all requirements are fulfilled. We do intend to keep our corporate office located in Fridley. We understand your concern fos the City of Fridley, and we are hopeful that we can work together to provide you and the City with your requirements and for us to get our yard and shop back into an acceptable condition.

Minton stated the Commission had received a copy of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights "Worksharing Agreement" along with a cover HUf1AN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETIN6, OCTOBER 3, 1985 PAGE 2 letter high7fghtin9 the agreement. He stated the Minnesota Deaartment of Human Rights (MHRD) wants human rights comnissions to voluntarily help the MHRD, As stated in tfie cover letter, "tfie purpose of the 'worksharing agreement`is to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of tfie locaT commissions and MHRD. Moreover, we wish to enhance the consistency, con- tinuity and professionalism amonq the local commissions, as a direct result of our new and improved no-fault grievance processing training", Mr. Minton stated tha local commissions are being asked to serve as a neutral party in cases of alledged discrimination, attend training sessions to receive certification in no-fault grievance processing, maintain f�ur comnissioners wfio are certified in no-fault grievance processing, provide educational enrichment programming for local commfssfon and comnunity, etc. Mr. Minton stated that since Mr. Treuenfels was a former member of the Numan Resources Commission and was active in the no-fault grievance process, he had invited Mr. Treuenfe7s to the meeting to review this "worksharing agreement" and to give his input. Mr. Treuenfels stated the no-fault grievance procedure has gone through a number of different phases since he has been involved with it. Mr. Treuenfels,stated that a long time ago 6efore fie was a Human Resources Commission member, there was an aqreement similar to tfiis, only Tengthier, which was called a Memorandum of Agreement. Many cortmiission meetinqs and comnissioners' time was taken up in considering tfiis Memorandum of Agreement. Then, with tfie cfiange in administration, it was decided to make thinqs a lot more informal. There was no contract, no Memorandum of Aqreement, and the commissioners were encouraged to establish no-fault qrievance canmittees. Training sessions were offered a number of times during the year at different locations. It was held in Fridley twice. The training was very informative At that time, they were encouraged to contact citv councils to get approval for the formation of no-fau7t grievance cormittees, Tfie Fridley City Council formally passed a motion approving the establishment of a no-fault grievance cormittee. Mr. Treuenfels stated there was then another cF�ange, and it was decided that the man who had conducted the no-fault grievance training sessions should be shifted to another position. He stated he did not know what tfie status was at this time relative to training sessions. Training was mentioned in the current contract. Mr, Treuenfels stated the pendulum has not-r swung again with a more formal type of agreement, On page 2 of the "worksharing agreement", 3-A, it stated: "Only certified comnission�rs will be active in the no-fault grievance process." He stated that if they referred only to cormissioners, it would mean no longer involving people in the comnunity wFio are not comnission merttbers but who would be interested in being on tfie no-fault grievance committee, HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 3 1985 PAGE 3 Ms. Sherek stated that if "cormiissioners" referred only to Human Resources Commissioners, this cortmission was too small to expect to serve, especially if the MHRD intended to flow cases to the Comnission as quicklv as they had done this Qast summer, Mr. Minton stated he had hoped Mr. William Davis from the MHRD would be able to attend this meeting so some of these questions could have been answered. Mr. Minton stated that if the Cormiissioners were agreeable� he would con- tact Mr. Davis to tell him the Corrmission was favorably inclined toward the "worksharing agreement", but he would like Mr. Davis to define the word "corrwnissioners" as there was some confusion as to whether the "commissioners" would be those members of tfie no-fault grievance committee, not necessarily Human Resources Comnission members, or if it �ias just limited to human rights canmissioners. He would tell Mr. Davis that people previouslv trained should also be available to do this k{nd of thing. If those two things were agreeable with Mr. Davis, this could then be sent on to the Planning Commission and City Council. The Commissioners stated they would agree with that. MOTION BY MR.

Ms, Sherek stated she definitely wanted it clarified what is meant by "commissioner", She would not want this agreement going on to the Citv Council if only comnission members would be involved. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIXPERSDN MINTON DECLARED THE MOTION CRRRIED UNANIMOUSLY, b Consideration of the use of data involving people in the City of Fridley: Policy Cnnsiderations Mr. Minton stated the only issue he would be concerned about was excluding the Dept, of Public Safety from the policy being considered by the Comnission, He had no question concerning tfie data that was mandated or controlled by law, but he would 6e concerned about other soecific information, such as suspect information, that is collected that is not mandated or controlled by law. Ms. Sherek stated she agreed with Mr. Minton. She stated vhen they origi- nally formulated this policy, they kind of excluded the Police Department. The info rntation the Police Department collects on suspects would be a definite concern, It did not particularly bother her that the Police Depart- ment had this information, but what disturbed her was tf�e fact that this information was public record and some one else could get that infottnation, HU�4AN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETIN6, OCTOBER 3� 1985 PAGE 4 Mr. Pierce stated he agreed with Mr. Minton and Ms. Sherek. He stated he had read tfie drafted policy statement over several times, and he did not see why it would bother the Police Department to be included in this policy because all the Commission is really recomanending is for the departments to use some discretion in gathering information. Ms. Sherek stated that if the Police Department is accumulating informa- tion which is not mandated by State Statutes but has the potential of becoming available to the public, then the Police Department should also fall within the provisions of this policy. Mr. Billings questioned why they should limit the Police Department to only inforniation that is mandated, He did not think the Police Department should put any data on the data bases without bringing it first to the internal poiicy review board. If the Police Department 6ecomes in the habit of putting on information because it is mandated by law; the�efoT•e, they do not go to the internal policy review board, it woirid be very easy for them to inadvertently start keeping records that are not mandated because psychologicatly they do not have to go before the internal po7icy review board because they are special. Mr. Pierce stated he would agree wit� Mr. Billings. By making it mandatory for all the departments to go to the internal policy review board, it will also give the review board a clearer picture of wfiat data is going on the system, both mandated and unmandated. Ms. Sherek stated a rather specific suggestion that could be made as far as suspect information was that the kind of comnentary data that is put into the police reports not ever be entered into the c�mputer system--leave it on the paper records, but don't put ii on the system. Mr. Biilings suggested that the Commission consider putting in a time frame for how often the internal policy review board would review the data bases, so the review board would be familiar with the elements currently in the data bases. Ms. Sherek stated the internal policy review board certainly should be looking at the system periodically. following the discussion, the Commissioners amended the policy consideration as follows: "The Human Resources Commission makes the following recorrrnendations regarding the municipal unified data base, the Department of Pub7ic Safety data base, and any other data bases that may be under the control of the City of Fridley: A. That the Cfty establish an internal policy review board consisting of the C1ty Manager and department fieads or their representatives. 0 HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 3, 1985 PAGE 5 8. That the functions of tfie policy review 6oard include: (1) To develop criteria for additions to, or retention of, data elements in the data bases. The criteria should consider not only the potential effect of new data accumulated, but its potential impact when combined with other data elements already in tf�e data base. On a scheduled, periodic basis, all the elements in the data bases should be reviewed in light of tfie established criteria. (2) To require a clear statement of purpose from those requesting the addition of elements to the data bases. (3} To develop a clear and consistent policy for releasing information requested. Consideration should be given to vesting the responsibility of addressing requests for information in a central location within the City, (4) To segregate potentially sensitive data on single purpose data bases, micro-computers, or other records."

PLAY EQUIPMENT - HAYES SCHOOL: Ms. Doty Iverson stated the Hayes PTA Executive Board was interested in pursuing a cooperative venture with the City to obtain playground equipment for the School site which has no equipment at this time. Dr. Lee Switzer stated he would like to have a little backgro�and with respect to playground equipment at Stevenson, Riverwood, and Rice Creek School sites. Did the City have a part in placing that equipment? Dr. Boudreau stated that with the demise of Rice Creek School, the City had to remove that piayground equipment, but once equipment is installed in concrete, ' it is very difficult to salvage, The equipment that was salvaged was now in place at Creek Ridge Park across the street from wfiere it used to be. _ PARKS 6 RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 7, 1985 PAGE 2 Dr. Boudreau stated that when Ray Habel became principal at Stevenson School, he asked if the City would be interested in a cooperative effort to put play- ground equipment along with the hockey rink that is down by the ball diamonds. The City said, yes, they would be happy to, because the City was in the business of serving children, the schools were in the business of serving children, and schools make a nice center for playground equipment. He stated the City did share with Stevenson in installing playground equipment. Dr. Boudreau stated he was not familier with Riverwood 5chool. He did know that the City had some playground equipment at the far east end of Gardena School, but that now belonged to Faith Academy. Dr. Boudreau stated that at Rice Creek, the City has utilized and maintained the area outside the school building--the ball diamond, ice rink, and tennis court, through an agreement with the school district. Dr. Boudreau stated he would endorse a cooperative effort wholeheartedly. He felt the equipment would be used. He felt playground equipment at an elementary school probably gets used more than equipment stuck in a park, He stated he would certair�3y like School District 14's participation, He has talked to Ms. Iverson, and she has stated the PTA migRt be able to partfcip�te in funding. He stated he would estimate around $6,000 for playground equipment. Perhaps a three-way arrangement could be made with tfie PTA, School Dist. 14, and the City, Ms. Schreiner asked if there would be any problem during the school year of the school using the playground equipment during the day when younqer neighbor- hood cfiildren would also want to use the equipment. Dr. Switzer stated they would feel that since the equipment is on the school site that during the hours children are required to be in school, the equipment would be for the exclusive use of the school. He stated maybe that was not a proper frame of mind, but he did not know how it could be any other way. Dr. Boudreau stated that in his 9+ years as Parks & Recreation Director for the City of Fridley, he has never heard of a problem between a neighborhood and a school regarding playground equipment on school property, Mr. Young stated that about 1-2 weeks ago on Channel 11 news, there was a feature on a school in either Faribault or Owatonna that had a non-traditional playground. There was an architect who went to the school and talked to the children about what they would like in tfie playground. The playground that was built was not a traditional-type of playground with slides, swings, teeter- iotter, etc. The architect drew up the plans for the playground, and it was built on a Saturday by parents of the school children. The playground equipment was very unique and was built totally of wood. Mr. Young stated t6at since winter was aoproaching and a playground was not feasible yet for this year, the PTA and School District might want to get more information about this playground equipment. PARKS & RECREATIOW COMh1IS5I0N MEE7ING, OCTOBER 1,1985 PAGE 3 Or. B�udreau asked what kind of precedent might be sei. Mr. Young stated they might be setting a precedent, but the playground equipment that goes into a typical park is paid for by the citizens. This would involve caoperative payments from the City, the PTA, and the Scfiool District, if tF�e schoo] district is going to participate. Ms. Iverson stated t[iey did not know ip the School District was aoing to parti- cipate. The School District has endorsed tfie PTA to explore the issue, but they have not committed any monies, She stated tf�e PTA would be able to come up with some funding. Dr, Boudreau stated he felt they needed the School District's participation in one way or another. He stated the Scf�ool District's liability is going to be at stake, they wil7 have an investment in what is tf�ere, and tfiey will have the largest user of the equipment. He would suggest a tfiree-way cooperative effort. Estimating $6,000, that would be $2,000 in cash from each, The City would be also contributing $2,000 plus the man hours to install and maintain the equipment which could be around $3,000 or more.

Islands of Peace Dr. Boudreau stated that as the Commission members were probably aware, Ed Wilmes had passed away of a heart attack. He stated Anoka County was continuing the programming at Istands of Peace. The facility is staffed, it is being programmed and is being utilized, Tfie plans are to make Islands of Peace an integral part of the Mississippi Riverfront Park the County is developing. He felt the County was doing a good job, and he would certainly encourage the County's involvement in the park, PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSIOtJ �EETING, OLTOBER 1, 1985 PAGE 4 b. Falt Festival, Springbrook Nature Center Dr. Boudreau stated that despi.te 6ad weather conditions, it was a success- ful weekend, not as successful as they had hoped and planned for, but it was a very rainy and cold weekend. A6out 600 people attended the two-day festival. A lot of activities had been planned and some of them were moved inside. The Volks Walk was held despite the rain both Saturday and Sunday. The walk was successful, and the people are looking forward to returning because they were very happy witfi the course that was laid out for them. Dr. Boudreau stated they are already making plans for festival. Programning will continue. He encouraged Comnissioners to attend the next activity which will NEIJ BUSINE55: Locke Park Entrance and Improvement next year`s fall the Parks & Recrea±',on be on Halloween night. Dr. Boudreau stated it was proposed some time ago that the County was going to come in and put a road system along Columbia Arena to Locke Park and there would be an additional parking lot. This would open Locke Park up for greater use. The County is now in a position to do that; however, City code requires curb and gutters. Since it is not tfie County's policy to place curbs and gutters within their parkways and parking lots, they are willing to install curbs and gutters if the City of Fridley witl consider providing $10,000 towards the total cost of the curbs and gutters. Dr. Boudreau stated the City is rrilling to contribute $10,D00, but he wanted to bring this to the Commission's attention so they were aware of it. He thought curbs and gutters would make a much nicer looking road and parking lot, He would encourage the Commission to urge the City Council to spend the $10,000. MOTZON BY MR.

He stated one addition was Plymouth Square Park as a general rink because of a request by a councilman in the area. If the Commission wisfied to reduce the general workload for the maintenance staff, he would recommend tfiey take out tFie general rink at Locke Park. There are two hockey ri�ks tf�ere, and f�e did not think the general rink has been used very mucfi. If there are complaints, they can put the ice down.

The Parks & Fecreation Commission has agreed to pay the Northeast Chamber Orchestra $150/concert for a maximum of five concerts this year with the stipulation that these concerts be played in Fridley. The concert at Brookdale wili not be in Fridley but Kill be on behalf of Fridley. 7he Northeast Chamber Orchestra was askinq the Corrmission to waive the stipu- lation and allow tf�em to count Brookdale as one of the five concerts for which they will be paid. Mr. Young stated that in view of the fact that this was a day 4rhen the comnunity of Fridley was recognized by a lot of other people, having the Northeast Chamber Orchestra perform at Brookdale was a good way to show some of tfie things that are going on in this comnunity, other t[�an businesses and civic groups.

Meadowlands Development Dr, Boudreau stated that about a couple of montFu ago, the Commission had a number of residents from Meadowlands Park attend their meeting as a result of the Planning Corunission meeting of July 17th where it was suggested that tf�ere be a plan for improvement for Meadowlands Park, On that plan, there was the suggestion that the City selt some lots, and there were people at the Planning Commission meeting very much in opposition to selling any park land at any time for development. Dr. Soudreau stated the Parks & Recreation Commisston was put in the position of being the cart before the horse. No one really knew how this got to the Planning Commission before coming to the Parks & Recreation Commission, so the Planning Comnission recommended it go 6ack to the Parks U Recreation Cormission. Residents from around Meadowlands Park attended that meet9ng. It was agreed that he would sit down with a committee of 5-6 residents immediately surrounding the park area and discuss with them what they would like to fiave in the park. They have agreed to come back to the Commission at the November meeting witfi a recommendation for tfie Meadowlands Park to be forwarded on to the Planning Comnission and City Council, Dr. Boudreau stated tfiat in the meeting with the residents, their basic feeling was they did not wish to sell any lots on tfie park oroperty. Their big concern right now is t�ow can tfiey control tfie surface water and ground water in the park and what will 6appen after that water is controlled? Before they get into planning the whole area, they just want the water problem solved. Dr. 8oudreau stated the City has come up with a plan for a pond that is not structured as a holding pond per se, but sonething that would be a part of the park in a meaningful way with a walkway system around it and maybe a uridge across it. It was the concensus of those in attendance at the brief committee meeting that this might be a starting point. If that pond was accomplished, then they can see what is going to happen as far as the water� and then they can decide wf�at to do witf� tfie rest of tf�e park. Dr. Boudreau stated the pond cost for e�ccavatton, seeding and storm sewer was about $97,000. The tratl and bridge costs were about $39,000. Total cost of pond and trail and bridge was about $136,298. The present picnic and playground areas would remain intact during tfiis time witfi some minor renovation, Mr. Young stated that since the water in this area 6as been draining into Rice Creek and Rice Creek is part of the Ri:ce Creek Watershed District, was there any possi6ility for funding for park improvement fror� the Rice Creek Watershed District whicfi has taxing powers? PARKS & RECREATIOPa COMMIS�ION MEETING, OCTOBER 7; 1985 PAGE 7 Dr. Boudreau stated he did not know, but it was a good tfiought and was sometfiing wortfi pursuing. The Comnissioners felt the pond to help soive the water problem before doing anything else with the property was a very good idea. fir. Allen stated it se�ned like a smart approach, plus tfiis Wo�ld give the residents around the park an opportunity to think about what they want in the park. Ms. Pat Brennan stated she and Ms, Kemper were at the meetina as part of the action arm of the League of Women Voters. They do studies, take a concensus, and tfien maintain a position on various issues at the local, state, and national leveis. Their locai position on narks dictated that they be at this meeting. She stated they have drafted a statement, and she was glad that this statement, in essence, was a renetition of what she felt was the concensus of the Parks & Recreation Comnission. She read the following statement: "The Fridley League of Women Voters is here tonight because we have a position based on our membership concensus which supports a strong neighborhood park systeM in Fridley. It is the oresence of this multi-use recreational area that makes Fridlev a communitv of quality. We believe that the policy of setting aside land for exclusive use as park tand is a good one. "We were t6erefore concerned wf�n we heard that this policy seemed to be undergoinq a change. We hope that the recent proposal to sell part of Meadowlands Park does not represent the thin edqe of a wedqe which will result in our fine park system eroding, - "We believe that the residents of Fridley have expressed themselves quite clearly on this issue in the past as well as in the more recent hearing on Ju1y l7, 1985, regarding Meadowlands Park. "While we appreciate the need of 9overnment to strive for cost- effective measures regarding city property maintenance, it seems to us in tfie League of Women Voters tfiat seTling parks to improve them borders on the counter-productive, not to mention tfie r;diculous. "While the problems that have afflicted Meadowlands Park are primarily engineering problems that require some technical solutions, we share the concern expressed by iocai residents that so iittle citizen inout preceded the public hearing process on July 17. We are glad that residents testifying on the issue were so universat in rejecting the option to se71 this land. "The Fridley League of Women Voters wishes to go on record in opposi- tion to selling park land to meet park expenses. We would further encourage city staff to adhere more faitf�fully to tfie citizen cortmission process and to not breach that always delicate balance between administration and the electorate. PARKS & RECREATION CONMIISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 7, 1985 PpGE 8 "With our land area reaching a critical saturation point, we realize tfiat some important decisions must 6e made to ensure the best use of existing open space, "We do beg you, finwever, to consider that cost effectiveness, if applied across tfie board, can be destructive and it certainly has its limitations."

Ms. Schreiner stated tfie Cominission really appreciated tF�is statement, She thanked Ms. Kemper and Ms. Brennan for coming to the meeting. b, Springbrook Nature Center Development Or, Boudreau stated the Comnissioners had a memo from Siah St. Clair addressed to Mark Burch regarding the development plan for tfie southwest corner of Springbrook Nature Center. Dr. Boudreau stated that about a year ago, Siah St. Clair came before the Corrrnission with a plan for moving some fill into that area to build a dike supposedly on tRe south side to block the �ndustrial development from the ' park, The deal Mr, St. Clair had gotten approval for fran the Soringbrook Nature Center Foundation and the Commission f�as fallen tfirough, Dr. Boudreau stated the City would like to 6uild a 6erm barrier on the south property which eventually would come around on the west property and build a dike to hold the water. They see it Zs a positive to the develop- ment of the nature center. They also see it as a great deterrent to noise and a buffer to the south for whatever wi11 be developed along there. Dr. Boudreau stated they now have an agreement with another contractor, Turner Exca�±ating Co „ to haul about 20,000 cu, yds. of mixed fill, dark and organic, along with some concrete de6ris whicf� will be buried. Turner Excavating will rough grade material into a berm as directed by the City. All concrete and debris will be covered with a 2 ft, minimum of fill. There will be no charge for dumping the fill to either Turner Excavating or the City. Anticipated delivery of all fill to be before Jan. 1, 1986. Turner Excavating agrees to seed and fill the area upon completion of grading and fill. Dr. 8oudreau stated Mr, St. Clair has talked to the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation, and they are in agreement with this plan.

Mr. Burch noted that Louis Schmidt had submitted his resignation from the commission. Mr, Burch also noted that the agenda contained information regarding accessory apartments. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL UOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON OQUIST DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. DISCUSSION OF THE GOLF COURSE-SPRINGBROOK NATURE CENTER Chairperson Oquist indicated that 14r. Barnette had brought the subject of a golf course adjacent to the nature center to the City Council. At that time, Mayor F1ee asked the cortmission to take a look at the issue and see if this would be feasible. Mr. Barnette provided the comnission members with some background information on the nature center and past efforts to bring a golf course to Fridley. At this time, a golf course is being proposed on the land adjacent to the nature center. Mr. Barnette feels that a golf course would be good for the community and could enhance the nature center. He also indicated that if nothing further happens the committee obtaining signatures on a petition would continue with their efforts and the issue would come to a vote. Mr. Barnette estimated construction costs to be $1,200,000. Members were given copies of statistical information from numerous municipa] golf courses in the area notin9 that 15 of the 17 have made money. In addition to revenues earned from golf, the area could also be used in winter for cross country skiing making the course and nature center usable year-round. Chairperson Oquist questioned whether the area was saturated with golf courses. COMMUNITY DEYELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 8, 1985 PAGE 2 Mr. Barnette stated that in a study this area was found to be most lacking. He recommended a regulation 18-hole course and added that a good course could 6e constructed on a minimum of 100 acres depending on the layout. Mr. Barnette noted that the trees, ponds, drainage ditches are all assets to a golf course and can be used constructively in the design of a course. He also stated tfiat some iand is available west of the railroad tracks in Coon Rapids. �r. Vos asked which areas of the nature center were most used. Mr. Barnette noted that the central and westerly areas of the center have the most use. It may be possible to use the eastern edge of the nature center as part of a golf course and not interfere with tiie nature center or its programs. Mr. Burch indicated that he had talked to 5iah St. Clair, Naturalist, Springbrook Nature Center. Mr. St. Clair had stated that a golf course around the nature center would be good and would provide an additional buffer for the center. Dr. Vos asked how much of the nature center could be used for a golf course and still keep both parties satisfied. Mr. Barnette indicated that this would need to be comprromised, should it be necessary. Chairperson Oquist noted that the HRA would also need to get involved for land acquisition. Mr. Burch indicated that the HRA has the power to create a district and can declare an area as a redevelopment zone if the area is blighted. Mr. Barnette noted that the soil in this area is 9enerally substandard and generally not suited to building. It would be suited for a golf course because a course does not require stable soil. Chairperson Oquist asked about the status of the proposed trucking company. Mr. Barnette indicated that the request from the trucking company had been approved by the City Council and will now go to a public hearing. The company would use approximately 30 acres of the land being looked at but Mr. Barnette did not think this would create a problem. The company would also provide revenues to the City. Mr. Barnette added that any profits made from a golf course would go into the general fund to offset the costs of ather projects. Mr. Burch indicated that the area is part of a watershed district and it is possible to get funds from the district for development of water control. The commission members reviewed an aerial map showing acreages, land available, location of nature center and existing businesses. COMMU��ITY DEVELOPMENT COMt•1ISSIOPI MEETING, OCTOBER 8, 1985 PAGE 3 Mr. Oquist requested to know the availability of the land west of the raiT- road tracks in Coon Rapids. He also requested that Mr. St. Clair attend a meeting to discuss the concept, and that he would like to see if a course could be developed with a minimal effect on the nature center. Mr. Barnette indicated that he would contact a designer to see if he wculd be willing to look at the maps and the site and give their opinion as to whether they felt a golf course feasible. Mr, Rezac indicated that the Chomonix Golf Course in Circle Pines has been profitable as a 9-hole course. The critical part is the bonding that could drain cash flow. Acquisition of land could be a problem. He added that an advantage to this area is the quantity of raw land. Mr. Gabel requested more information on land acquisition and the costs involved. Mr. Barnette indicated that he did not know what land acquisition cost would be. The land is held by a number of different owners. He noted that Mr. Inman had done some studies which show that a golf course would work over a 20-year period. Mr. Burch indicated that he felt staff could fairly accurately determine the acquisition costs and development costs for the cortmission. Dr. Vos asked what possible employment this would Dring to the comnunity. Mr. Barnette estimated employment of 5 or 6 full-time employees and 50-60 seasonal employees. This number could change if the area were open year round. Mr. Oquist requested to hear from Mr. St. Clair to see what his thoughts are on the proposal, find out the opinion of a designer to see if there is sufficient land to construct a good golf course and provide water control, and see if the project is financially feasible. When the facts are obtained, they should be presented to the City Council along with Mr. St. Clair's presentation, and then have the City Council indicate whether they wish to continue.

COh�tUNITY DEYELOPMENT COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 8, 1985 PAGE 4 OTHER BUSINESS Chairperson Oquist indicated that the subject of reorganization of the commission structure had been discussed at the Planning Comnission meeting. The problem involved with the Community Development Commission performing this task is that the members are not familiar enough with the structure tc make recommendations. The Planning Comnission suggested developing a plan to be used for the restructuring. This item was tabled until the next meeting.

Mr. Commers stated this was also discussed at an earlier meeting. He stated the HRA had a copy of the original letter of agreement the HRA entered into with the Fridley Office Plaza Partnersf�ip, �n page 2 of that agreement was the question about the option relating to this lot. Mr. Commer.s stated that as part of the original transaction, they had been given an option until Feb. 1, 1986, authorizing and giving the HRA the opportunity to exercise, for the sum of $10,000 plus any unpaid property taxes as of the date of purchase, the right to acquire the property. If the HR4 does not exercise the option, then the redeveloper will pay to the HRA the sum of $90,000 plus accrued interest at 10%. Mr, Qureshi stated that the HRA also had a letter from Gus Doty dated Oct. 8, 1985, He stated this letter was a little different from his earlier understanding of the situation. Mr. Doty had said he wanted to extend the time for six months, and he would continue to pay the extra interest. Then, he would have his building constructed. Mr. Conmers stated fiis interpretation of the letter from 6us Doty was that Mr. Doty was asking the HRA to give up the option. The money he was going to pay the HRA they would place on a mortgage for a year term. Mr. Newman stated he would agree with tfiat interpretation. Mr. Qureshi stated maybe he shouid talk to Mr. Doty again to get a clearer understanding of the situation. If he felt it was necessary for Mr. Doty to �discuss this further with the NRA, he would invite him to a meeting. MOTION BY MR.

DISCUSSION REGARDING COUNCILMAN BARNETTE'S PROPOSAL fOR A GOLF�COURSE � ` Mr. Barnette stated he attended the Comnunitv Development Corronission meetinp ! on Tuesday where he presented the idea of the possibility of a golf course � on property wrapping around the nature center property, Mr. Barnette stated tfiat to give a quicfc fiistory of the golf conrse, the whole golf course/nature center issue went back to 197�-71. Aprpoximately one year ago, a group of interested golfers came to him wanting to do sometfiinq. They looked in the Charter and found it would take aoprox. 2,500 signatures to force a referendum for tfie general election, The comnittee wrote a resolution to vote on, did a mailing, and received 1,600 signatures, They were eager to go door to door to get the rest of the needed signatures. Mr. Barnette stated that apparently this created some interest from some other people who did not want to get into the situation they f�ad in 197Q-71 and that there should be another way. From all the information gathered in 1970-71, it definitely showed a need for a golf course in this quadrant of the metropolitan area. Mr. Barnette stated with that, he went to the Comnuni.ty Development Commission with some drawings of land that was available. A lot of the land is substandard soil. One of the reasons he was before the HRA was the HRA had some condemna- tion rights that might have to be exercised. Mr, Barnette stated Mark Burch, Asst. Public Works Director, has talked to Siah St. Clair, City Naturalist, about the compatibility of the golf course and the nature center. Apparently, Mr. St. Clair was elated to have the golf course as a ring around the nature center preserving the natural aesthetics. There may be some reason to utilize the eastern half of the nature �enter. Mr, Barnette stated Don Herfort, a golf architect in the 7win Cities, wfio was involved in the golf course issue in 1970-71, has been in contact with him. He has asked Mr. Herfort to talk to Mr. Burch to see if an 18-hole golf course could go in on this site. All indications are that there is enough room. Mr. Barnette stated f�e felt this was a great idea. He has gotten some recent information that golf courses do make money. No golf Course he knew of in the past ten years has gone bankrupt. Golf courses do not cost the taxpayers money. and any money made over and above the bonds being paid off and taxes, �etc., would go back into the park programs, general funds, contributing to the community. Other things could be done on a golf course besides golf course; for example, cross country skiiing in the winter. Mr. Barnette stated the Cormnunity Development Commission has asked staff to put together some preliminary figures on the total assessed value of the land available and the cost to build a golf course. Staff will have that information for the next Community Development Commission meeting, Mr. Barnetie stated he was before the HRA to see if there was any interest on the part of the HRA. NOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY:MEETINf, OCTOBER 10, 1985 PAGE 6 Mr. Commers stated the HRA could not take any formal action at�this time. The HRA was certainly willing to consider any proposal. He stated that once � rtare information has been put together, the HRA would like to be kept informed i as to what is taking place. j � Mr. Prieditis stated he was not a gotfer, but he liked the idea, _ _. __. .._ _ _ __ ___ .. ... _. _ _ 6. STORER CABLE COMMUNICA7I�N5 REQUEST POR R�IMBURSEI�tENT FOR {iND€#2GR(H1MD CABLE Mr. Commers stated that at the Sept. 5, 1985, special HRA meeting, the HRA discussed Storer's request for reim6ursement for underground cabte lines and made a motion to deny that request. Mr. Wegemer stated that Storer had appeared before the HRA once before request- ing reimbursement for underground cable lines on Mississippi St., east of University Ave. He wanted to make it clear that the request before the HRA now was not the same situation. The HRA did deny tf�at first request, and they were not attem�ting to resurrect that issue. This request was for the second stage of the project for next year. Mr. Wegemer stated he realized that v�hen they appeared 6efore the HRA before, their timing might have been bad, so they were coming well in advance of the next stage of the project. Mr, Wegemer stated he wanted to explain the reason they were at the meeting and the reason the CATV Advisory Commission recommended that Storer 6e reimbursed. First of all, they were not contesting the HRA's right to require reim- bursement. 7hey are just asking whether in tf�is partiCUlar case it was fair and just to exercise that right. The reason for this was it was not Storer who would be paying for this work; the cost would be passed on to the cable subscribers so essentially they are asking 39% of the population in Fridley to underwrite the cost of this project which was a form of indirect taxation, That was the reason the CATV Advisory Cortmission recommended Storer be reimbursed just like Northwestern Bell and NSP. Mr. Commers stated he had not realized this was the second stage of the under- ground project. Mr. Qureshi stated this was the underground project on the west side of University on Mississippi. He stated that in the case of NSP, their agreement 'provides that the NRA reimburse the+n. In the case of Storer, the agreement provides that the HRA does not reimburse them. So, on one hand was the matter of legality which Storer was not contesting, and on the other hand was the matter of fairness. Mr. Corrmers asked if there was any benefit to Storer whether the lines were above ground or underground. Mr. Qureshi stated, no, there was not. He thought the City Council had taken the position that there was an agreement, and they should live by that agreement. The HRA could make tbe decision to reimburse Storer if they wanted to. He stated HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, OC70BER 10, 1985 PAGE 7 the HRA already denied this request at their Sept. 5th meeting`- Mr. Wegemer wanted to appear before the HRA to explain tfieir position as they fiad not � been present at the neeting when their request was denied. ; Mr. CoMmers stated that when he acted on t6e motion to deny the request, he � thought they were still talkin9 about the earlier request on the east side of University Ave. Mr. Prieditis stated that had been bis understanding also. Mr. Commers stated he thought this item should be continued and discussed again at the next meeting as the situation was a little different from the first request. The HRA does have a contract, and he would hesitate to start operatinq differently than what the contractual agreement says. It was difficult to set that kind of precedent. The other side of it was he did see where there was some merit to Storer's request where it was something that was being done because of the HRA's desires to benefit the Center Citv redevelopment area. Mr. Prairie stated he would agree with Mr. Commers. Mr. Commers stated maybe a member of the CATV Advisory Commission could come to the next meeting to verbalize their feelings and iww they arrived at their decision. MOTZON BY MR. PRZEDITZS, SECONDED BY MR. PRAIRZE, TO REOPEN TH£ CONSIDERATION OF THE REQUEST BY STORER CABLE COMMUNICATIONS FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR UNDF.RGRDUND LINES AT THE NOVEMBER 19TX MEETING. The Commissioners agreed that a member of the CATU Advisory Cormiission be invited to the Nov. 14th meeting.

APPROVAL OF THE HOUSING & RE�EVELOPhiE�J7 AUTHORITY BROCHURE FOR 1985: Mr. Comners stated that in his report, "Fridley, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow", he would recommend that in the left column, second paragraph, the following sentences be eliminated: "After the 1965 tornado, Fridley turned down a $3 million urban renewal grant in favor of private initiative. Private initiative was minimal." Mr. Prieditis stated he felt it was very worthwhile to keep the citizens of Fridley informed of the HRA's activities. Mr. Commers stated he would support the project. It was important to try to help people understand what is going on, and the cost was r2asonable in view of the overall picture. �, Mr. Prairie stated that the first brochure must have done a good job of explain- ing things because he fiad not received any negative feedback as a result of it, HOUSINf & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEE7ING, OCTOBER 10, 1985 PA6E 8 MOSIDN BY MR.

UPDATE ON S.O.R.T. t4s. Gibson indicated that she had spoken to Connie Metcalf about the effect of the recycling program on their business. Ms. Metcalf stated that they . have noticed no change in participation. Mr. Beermann of Beermann Services had indicated rtrore participation. 2. INFORMATION ON COMPOSTING Ms. 6ibson referred to the information on composting enclosed with the agenda and indicated that this contained a good deal of information on metro area composting programs. Ms. Gibson asked for suggestions for a composting site. Suggestions included the area adjacent to S.O.R.T., the Springbrook Nature Center, near the City garage in Locke Park, and perhaps at the park across University from Columbia Arena. The comnission felt the best sites would be near S.O.R.T. or Locke Park. Ms. Gibson was requested to discuss the sites with staff. If these sites were not acceptable, Ms. Gibson was asked to have staff pravide alternative sites. Mr. Svanda indicated that, if funds were needed, it may be possible to use some funds fram the $4.00 per ton recycling monies. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COhA1ISSI0N MEETING, OCTOBER 15, 1985 PAGE 2 Mr. Peterson indiceted that in order to do composting properly some equipment would be needed to aerate and turn the compost periodically, such as a tractor with a front end loader. He added that this would require some staff time. Ns. Gibson agreed to contact Ramsey County so see how they started their program and obtain more background information. Mr. Peterson suggested also contacting Anoka County. Mr. Svanda indicated that Anoka County is still involved with a mass burn facility and did not know how much time they were committing to composting. However, he felt it a good idea to contact the County and, until they are ready to take up tfie subject of composting, get information prepared so that the City of Fridley is prepared to proceed. Vice-Chairperson Gronlund requested that for the next meeting the commission look at existing composting programs, get ideas from the City on possible sites, and see what the County of Anoka is doing. 3. UPDATE ON MINNEAPOLIS WATER WORKS Ms. Gibson indicated that the issue is being handled by the County of Anoka. The City of Minneapolis rias ordered on September 26 to provide a remedial ar.tion plan within 15 days. Mr. Peterson requested P1s. Gibson to contact the County of Anoka to see if a remedial action plan had been submitted and to inquire of City staff why the City was not involved in this action. 4. DISCUSSION ON JAYCEES INVOLVEMENT IN FALL PUBLICITY Ms. Gibson indicated that she had spoken to Dale Thompson of the Jaycees. He indicated that the Jaycees are trying to put together a Recycling Committee to consider the following suggestions and how to proceed: - provide information on the recycling program to students through the elementary schools, perhaps through flyers distributed in the classroom - request area churches to place notices about the program in their church bulletin - contact other civic organizations - work with the Boy Scouts to see if the Scouts could earn badges as well as provide a servite for the recycling program - enclose a flyer with the Christmas wreathes or invoices at the time of delivery - develop a better means of displaying the "Friday i� Fridley" signs. Ms. Gibson noted that at this time the Jaycees have not given a solid commitment. Mr. 6ronlu�d requested Ms. Gzbson to follow up with Mr. Thompson and invite him to the next meeting if he feels there is anything to discuss. ENUIR�NMENTAL �UALITY COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 15, 1985 PAGE 3 5. DISCUSSION ON WASTE OIL TANK �1s. Gibson indicated that the waste oil tank in the City of Fridley has a 1,000 gallon eapacity. Mr. Svanda noted that possible new EPA requirements regarding waste oil tanks may have an effect on the City. Mr. Peterson indicated that it was his understanding that Ms. Metcalf at S.�.R.T, was to receive a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of waste oil after initial expenses were covered. Ms. Gibson was asked to see if Ms. Metcalf was receiving proceeds and report back to the comnittee at its next meeting. 6. OTHER BUSINE5S a L c Vice-Chairperson Gronlund asked if Mr. Beermann of Beermann Services had provided any figures on the recyciing program yet. Ms. Gibson indicated that no figures had been provided to the City to date. Mr. Peterson requested Ms. Gibson to check the contract to see what was requi red of Mr. Beermann. Ms. Gibson indicated that the City has not been invoiced; and if an invoice was received, approval for payment would not be given until the proper reports were submitted. tdr. Svanda added that even more critical is the need to know the amounts collected because it effects the $4.00 per ton rebate. He requested Ms. Gibson to call Katy Boone at the Metropolita� Council who is in charge of the rebates. Vice-Chairperson Gronlund asked if the County of Anoka had yet approved fu�dinn, t4s. Gibson indicated that the County is still putting together their grant monies and will be reviewed eoon. Vice-Chairperson Gronlund requested Ms. Gibson to provide an update at the next meeting.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: 5ection 205.07.3D.3a requires a rear vard setback of not less than 25 percent of the lot depth, with not less than 25 feet permitted or more than 40 feet required for the main buildinq. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "Grandmother is 85 years old and cannot use stairs. She will be moving in January 1, 1986." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Petitioner wants to add a room onto the rest of the existing home. The desired addition would reduce the rear yard from the required 32 feet to 14.7 feet. if the Board approves this request, staff has no stipulations to suqgest. Mr, Clark stated the Commissioners had an aerial photo which showed the house and the adjoining structures. The neighbor immediately behind the petitioner had come into the office inquiring about the pronosal. He was planning to build a detached garage in the near future, and his only concern was whether Mr, Burandt's addition would have any affect on his building a garage. Mr, Clark stated he had assured tfie neighbor it would not. Mr. Burandt stated they have an existing three-season porch on that end of the house right now with a flat roof. He planned to tear off the porch and exnand and put a gabte into the roof. The addition would be a 14 ft. by 14 ft. family room. Because his grandmother who will be living with them cannot climb up and downstairs, this will give her a family room area on the first floor. MOTION BY MR. BARNA� SECONDED BY MR, BETZOLD, TO CLOSE TXE PUBLIC XEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CNAIRPERSON GABEL DF,CLARED THE PU$LIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7;43 P.M. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, �CTOBER 15, 1985 PA6E 3 Mr. Betzold stated he was not sure the hardship as stated was very clearly defined. What the petitioner was proposing would take up most of the exi.sting back yard; however, on this particular block, there are about ten homes that share what is one large comnon back yard. He did not recall seeing any other property like this in the city. When he looked at the property, he felt it would not be offensive to add on to the back of the house because the petitioner was clearly not enfringing upon anyone else's area. The closest house was pretty far away. From that circumstance, the proposal was well within the code's intent. Because of the uniqueness of the lot, he would be in favor of the variance as requested. Mr. Barna stated that if the one neighbor most affected had no objection, and as Mr. Betzold had point out, this was a unique situation, he would have no objection to the variance. Mr. Plemel and Ms. Gabel stated the did not object to the variance request. MOTZON BY MR. BETZOLD� SECONDED BY MR.

A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERUED BY REQUIRFI�IENT: Section 205.07.3D.1 requires a front yard with a depth of not less than thirty-five (35) feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street parking without encroaching on the public right of way and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the building "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. APPEALS COMMISSION �EETING, OCTOBER 15, 1985 PAGE 4 B, STA7ED HAR�SHIP: "Permission needed because of family members handicap and security of 6usiness supplies." C, ADMItdISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: A previous owner requested a similar variance in i967 which was denied. That request was for a 13.2 foot setback from Alden Way. There is a 15 feot boulevard on Alden Way which would put the proposed garage approximately 23.5 feet from the curb. There is room for a detached garage on the east side of the house. This location would not be adjacent to the rear door of the existing house, Ms. Gabel stated that in the agenda was a copy of the public hearing notice with a note attacfied to the bottom of tfie notice which stated: "We are opnosed to tt� re�uested variance due to the appearan�e and feel it would affect the property values of the nei:gfiborfiood as well," It was signed by Gladys Silseth and Arthur Silseth. MOTION BY MR. BARNA� SECONDED BY MR, BET20LD, TO RECEIVE THE LETTER DATED CKTOBER 10� 1985� FROM MR. & MRS. SILSESN STATING THEZR OBJECTION TO THE VARIANCE. UpON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THfi MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Clark stated the Commissioners had a picture of the house where the qarage was proposed and an aerial photo of the property. He stated Mr. & Mrs. Silseth live at 752] Alden Way which is three houses to the south. Mr. Clark 5tated that as stated in the staff report, there was a similar request which was denied in 1967. A copy of the Sept. 27, 1967, minutes were included in the agenda. Also stated in the staff report was the fact that there was room for a detached garage on the east side of tfie house which would require no variance. Mr. Dennis Woad stated he had prepared some booklets which exp]ained the pro�osed construction. On one page was a drawing drafted by an engineering firm showinq the site lines as the driver would be approaching Alden Way on Rickard Road and showing the proposed new construction from the curb line. 7here was approxi- mately 3T ft. to the cTosest corner of the proposed garage. Mr. Clark stated that the original petition was for a detached garage 6 ft. away from the house. Was the request changed to an attached garage? Mr. Wood stated the proposed garage would be attached to the house. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. OCTOBER l5, 1485 PAGE 5 Mr. Clark stated this would change the front yard variante request from 35 ft, to 8 ft, to 35 ft, t0 14 ft. Mr. Wood stated the proposed size of the new garage would be 24 ft. wide bv 22 ft, deep. ?here was a page in the booklet showing the elevations as the garage would look facing it from Alden Way and Rickard Road. A page also showed the floor detail indicating they plan to put in a handicap ramp so family members can get in and out easily. They had appraisals done of adjoin- ing properties which indicated tfie new construction would not devalue or deface other properties. Mr, Wood stated he had two letters, one from an adjoining neighbor 0000sing the garage to be built on the opposite side of the house, and the other neighbor not opposed to building the garage at tfie proposed location. MOTION BY MR, PLEMEL, SECQNDEP BY MR. BETZOLD� TO RECEIVE SNTO SHF, RECORD THE TWO LETTERS FROM AA7071IING PROPERSY QWNERS, UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTZNG AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Wood staied that both his parents are disabled and in wheelchairs. Nis father has Parkinson's Disease, and his motf�er is temporarily disabled with a broken ankle. His father is unable to get out of the car and by 6uilding the garage attached with a ramp, he would have a secure place for his father to come about three times a week as he needs to have periodic checkuns at the hospital, Mr. Wood stated securitv was also very important to them because he has business supplies delivered to his home. If the garage was constructed on the other side of the house, they would not be able to see it very well and things would be less secure. Mr, Wood stated that also if the garage was constructed on the other side of the house, there were bedrooms on that end of the house so access from that side of the house was not feasihle. Access would be difficult as they would have to walk around either the front or the back to gain access. By placing the garage where it is proqosed, it would also act as a windblock as far as energy conservation. Mr. LeRoy Anderson, 7581 Alden Way, stated he lived directly to the north. He stated he objected to the variance for a garage in 1967. and he was still opposed to it. He was going to have roughly a 65-66 ft, wall staring at hir� from his back door. To him, it was too large a variance from the front of his house. Ms. Ga6e1 stated that part of the problem with this request was the techni- cality in the code that the narrow part of the 7ot becomes the front yard. APPEALS CONMISSIQN MEETIPJG, OCTOBER 15, 1985 PAGE 6 Ms. Joanne Anderson, 7581 Alden Way, stated she was home all day, and she would be looking at that wall all the time. She stated they allowed Mr, Wood to build a privacy fence and he has a shed. Tfie snow really piles up along there now, and a garage would worsen tfie situation. MOTZON BY MR. BETZOLD� SECONDED SY MR, BARNR� TO CIASE THE PUBLIC NEARING, UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CIASED AT 8:I2 P.M. Mr. Plemel stated he was sorry to hear the neighborhood objection, He thought the garage where it was proposed was the logical place to put it. and he did not think it would impair the line of vision becuase of the trees in there now. He stated Mr. Wood has 3-4 vehicles and it is best to get them inside in this northern climate, Mr. Barna stated tfie main th9ng he had trouble with was the hardship. Mr. Wood has family members who come to his home to get hospital care and need a ramp, but they are not residents of his home. If tfiey lived there, he would be in favor of voting for the variance, but tfiis is a temporary situation, and this is a permanent building. Knowing how everyone feels about their property and property values in this area, he would oppose the variance as proposed. Mr. Betzold stated the question before the Appeals Commission was whether or not the strict enforcement of the literal provisions of the ordinance are going to cause an undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the property that is under consideration. He did not find that in this situation. There are neighborhood objections, one written, and three in person. The same request was made to the Appeals Canmission in the past dnd was turned down, Flothing has changed. The purpose can be accompTished without a variance. He did not think the hardship as stated was a valid hardship, at teast within the meaninq of the statutes, and he would be opposed to the variance. Ms. Gabel stated she totally disagreed. She thought the hardship was real clear; however, she did not think it was well defined within the "stated hard- ship" written in the Administrative Staff Report. She thought the hardship was very obvious. She could not imagine in the Minnesota cli;nate living without a garage. She thougfit the fact that the petitioner needed a garage was clear, and she thought it was total]y illogica] an� irrational to put the garage on the side of the house where there was no entrance. It did not matter whether people were handicapped or not in this situation. The most logical place to put the garage was w6ere the petitfoner had requested it. She did not believe there would be any impact on any property values in the neighborhood by placing the garage in this location. If anyt�ing, sfie felt it would enhance the property values in the neighborhood. Mr. Plemel stated he agreed with Ms. Gabel, He could understnad the neighbors' thinking, but he did not t6ink their o6jections were valid, APPEALS COP4IISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 15, 1985 PAf,E 7 MOTION BY MR.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REDUIREI4ENT: Section 214.12.2B restricts the maximum to eighty (8Q} square feet tn total free-standing sign area per development. Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual pollution and excessive use of signs in commerciat areas. B. STATED HARDSHIP: 1. The property and building are located at an eievation which is iocated so far 6elow the main thoroughfare (Central Avenue) that visibility is almost nonexlstent. 2. Comp�unding the difference in elevation between the building and Central Avenue is the fact that the buiTding is tucked into a hili- side. This faCt further reduces visibility from Central Avenue. 3. Wall signs are totally inadequate to provide any identification from the east, which is where almost all notentiaT customers would have to enter (via 53rd Avenue}, for the above reasons, a variance is requested to allo�i two of tf�e tenants in this �roject to inst:li signage on the exfsting oylon; such signage not to exceed 40 sq. ft. in total surface area. C, ADMIIJISTRATIVE S7AFF REVIEW: A sign height variance was granted for this pylon sign in Februar,y of this year tfrom 25 feet to 35 feet). The Pickwick oylon sign is 80 sq. ft.; therefore no additional sign area is left for additional signs. There are ��all signs that identif� tfie other two tenant spaces. Mr, Clark stated the Cormissioners had an aerial photo of the area, �long with a n�cture of the s9gn. Mr. Brody was pro�osing to add two more panels below tfie existing panel to indicate his t�vo other tenants. When the Pickwick build- ing was built, it was anticinated there would be one, and possiblv two other tenants. Mr. Brody did bring in a wall sign olan wf�ich the City apnroved, and he has a Cost Cutters' iogo on the front wall facinq 53rd and on the west wall facing Target. Mr. Brody stated he was tfie developer of tfie site and also the o�aner of the property. Because of the building's iocatfon, it was a very difficult site. they took a difffcult site and developed a very attractive building; however, they did not anticipate the hardsfiips the tenants would find once thev ooened for business. � APPEALS COMI�ISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 15, 1985 PAGE 9 Mr. Brody stated he was talking about Cost Cutters and a potential tenant, Mr. Tax of America, which was a tax financial planning service. This tenant had recognized the difficulty with the site and had indicated it would not be interested in leasing unless tfiere was some tyne of signage on the pylon. Mr. Brodv stated that right now, he has the maximum signage allowed under the ordinance (80 sq. ft.). He is asking for two smaller signs, each 20 sq. ft., which tivould be located under the Pickwick sign. The signs would be professionally done, would be tastef�l, and would be used for identification only. Mr. Brody showed the Com�issioners photographs of the site, directinq their attention specifically to the east elevation taken from Central Avenue. The Pickwick sign was visible, but the building was barelv visib7e. Because of the undue hardship of the low elevation from Central Avenue and the fact that the building was tucked into tfie side of the hill, he stated it really made it very difficult for his tenants to operate. Mr. Brody stated that in the audience were Earl Faulkner and Vern Gunderson, owners of Cost Cutters, and tfie �anager who would be willing tn tell about how their customers have coMnented on tfie difficulty in locating the business. Also, in the audience was Craig Olson, a representative from Mr. Tax of America, who would be willing to answer any questions and also state the problem he would have in locating in the building without a sign, tdr. &etzold asked if any consideration had been given to reducin� the Pickwick sign, Mr. Brody stated he did not think tfiat was feasible. This was a new sign, and Pickwick paid approximately $6,000 for the sign. Mr. Betzold asked if there was any more room in the building for more Cenants. Mr. Brody stated that with t4r. Tax of America, the building would be 100% leased. Ms. Gabel stated that if the approve the variance, some tvpe of sti�ulation would have to be put on it to preclude this from ever being a 120 sq, ft. sign, shnuld the te�ants change. Mr. Brodv stated that Pickwick has a 15-year lease, and their lease nrovides that thev have an 80 sq. ft. sign, What would be fair would be that at such time as Pickwick moved out, at that point the too signage for the new tenant could be reduced to 40 sq. ft. That would get them back to the confor�inn 80 sq, ft. Mr. Plemel stated he felt the variance should not qo with the tenants but with the real propertv, APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING; OC706ER 15 1985 PAGE la Mr, Barna stated that if the variance was grarted, it should go with the property in the instance that there are at least two tenants on the propertv; but if there was to be only one tenant on the property, then the variance would be rescinded and it would revert back to 80 sq. ft. Mr. Brody stated he would agree with that stipulation. MOTION BY MR. BARl7A, SECONDED BY MR. BETZOLD, TO CIASE THE PUBLIC XEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTSNG AYE� CXAIkPERSON GRBEL DECLARED TNE PUBLZC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:40 P.M. Ms. Gabel stated the hardshib was very clear th�t the netitioner needed a variance to have the signs there. She thought the request was very reasonable, and she had no reason to deny tfie variance request, Mr. Barna stated there was a definite hardship. He could see the need for the si�ns; but he would recomriend they put on a limitation that an additional 20 sa. ft. per tenant be allowed as long as there were at least t�ao tenants in the building. At such a time as tfiere would be only one tenant in the building, then the additional 40 sq. ft. wouid 6e removed revertinn back to 80 sq. ft. of signaqe. PickwiCk now has an 8G sq, ft, sign, but if Pickwick left, the new tenant replacing Pickwick would only be allowed 40 sq. ft., with the total combination not to exceed 80 sq, ft. MOTION BY MR.

Chairperson Gabel read the Administrative Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6597 Pierce Street N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.3D.2c.1 requires that the side yard width on a street side of a corner lot shall not be less tfian seventeen and one-half (17.5) feet. Puhlic purpose served by this requirement is tn maintain a hiqher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce tfie "line of sight" encroach�ent into the neigfibor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "1, We have a child with Neurofibronatosis, a disorder of the nervous svstem. This condition could be aqqravated by extreme cnld weather. Child must be brought to school, mother works necessitating a two- car attached garage to make sure the car starts in cold weather. "2. We feel it could improve the current aestfietic value in the neighborhood," C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The petitioner wants to add 10.5 feet onto his existing 12 foot wide narage to make it a 22.5 foot, two-car garage. The boulevar� width is 10 feet, therefore the proposed addition would be 15.7 feet fran the curb. The house to the rear does not face the side street; it faces Channel Road, The petitioner does have room to construct a detached garage in the rear yard, however, then fie would need to convert his existing attached garage to living area or obtain a special use permit for two garages. Mr, Clark stated the Commissioners had a picture of the property along with an aerial photo. He stated the oetitioner could reduce the size of the garage dotan to something less than 22 ft. if the �etitioner was willing to do so. However, there was not much room to compromise as two cars could not be parked in anythinq less than 20 ft. Mr. Landrv stated that, for the reasons stated, thev feel the attached garage would be better than placing tfie garage in the back, APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 15, i985 PAGE 12 MO_TZON BY MR.

Mr. Barna stated he could definitely see tf�e fiardship. He was familiar with Neurofibronatosis and sympathized witfi tfie parents. It does cause extreme discomfort in cold weather, He could understand why the petitioners wanted an attached garage rather than a detacfied garage because of the aggravation of cnld weatf�er to tfie chi7d with tfiis disease, A detached garage in the rear yard would not be feasible because tfie garage would f�ave to 6e in the middle of the yard. If tf�e garage was attacfied to the east part of the house, they would lose all the windows to tF�e rear of the house, He stated he would vote in favor of the variance. Mr. Plemel stated that since there was no neiqhborhood objection anA because of the absence of traffic in this area, he would be in favor of nranting the variance, Mr. Betzold stated he felt this was a personal hardship; it has nothing to do with the statutory tests they were supposed to 6e following. He felt the oro6lem they are going to face was that at some point down the line, there is going to be a very similar situation like tf�is and because a neighbor objects, thev will deny it on that basis. He felt they had "watered" anv meaning out of the Citv Code based on a lot of personal considerations that fiave absolutely nothing to do with the property. He did agree tf�at from a financial and nersonal startd- point, it did not make sense to put tfie garage in any other location, He would not oppose the variance, but he did have these concerns. Ms, Gabel stated that part of what Mr. Betzold stated was valid. But, the other thing the Commission was apprised of several years ago was that financia7 con- siderations were also hardships. She felt that askin9 peonle to literallv take a part off their house and move it finto another portion of the vard, aside from the fact that it was making people jump a lot of unnecessary bureaucratic hoops, she felt it was truly a financial hardsfiip. She still felt very strongly that in this climate, having a garage was a necessity. She was in favor uf the variance. MOTION BY MR.

Public purpose served by this requirenient is to control visual pollution and excessive use of signs in comnercial areas. Section 274.12,2E requires a minimum 10 foot setback between free-standing signs and any property line or driveway. Public purpose served by tf�is requirement is to allow for unobstructed visibility along streets and adjoining driveways. 6. STATED HARDSHIP: "We would like to do one nice sign in place of four smaller ones to give tenants in rear of building signage and visibilitv from University Ave. We would also like to use the existing base as one of the qost supports for the new sign." C. ADP1I�dISTRATIVE STAFF REUIEW: The existing sign is 6' x 6' (36 sq. ft.), a four-sided cube, and it is located at the property line. Tfie petitioner would like to chanqe the existing sign into a 160 sq. ft. two-sided sign, with the curb side of tf�e sign to hang over the nrooertv line by approximately 2,5 feet wfiich would locate tfie sign 5 feet behind the curb.

APPEALS COMMISSIOfJ MEETING, OCTOBER t5; T485'" ' ''' PAGE 14 If the Comnission ap�roves tf�e variances, the new sign should be placed so that it does not overhang the Citv right of way, or if allowed, the Comnission and City Councit should state that tf�ey approve the sign encroachment over the boulevard. Mr. Clark stated tf�e Commissioners fiad a pf�oto showing the cormercial oronerty. The property consisted of two buildings of which each has multiple tenants-- approximately 12-15 tenants. The present sign was constructed 4-5 years ago when the Center wds complete and it was improperly located. Even if the Appeals Commission and City Council deny tfie variance for the new sign, he would ho�e they would express their desire to relocate the existing sign in the proper location. He stated Mr. Paschke would like to remove the present sign and put up a two-sided sign of 160 sq. ft. advertisina other tenants in the Center, other than just the center itself, Mr. Paschke stated the present sign which says "University Center" does not serve the center at all. It locates the propertv but it does nothinq for the tenants. The sign would only have six names on it for those tenants who have no visible siqnage already on the building. Mr. Paschke stated f�e was actually allowed an 80 so. ft. sign per development, but he chose not to da that. He would rather 6ave one nice ifi0 sq. ft. sign than to clutter the area with two 80 sq, ft, signs. MO:ZON BY MR. BETZOLD� SECONDED BY MR. BARNA� TO CZASE TNE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CYAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARF.D THF, PUBLZC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:26 P.M. Mr. Barna stated he could sympathize with developers and tenants do need signs to advertise. It was expensive to advertise on television or in newspapers. ' The Center is allowed 160 sq. ft, in signage--two free-standing 80 sq. ft. signs, so he would go along with saying the Center, the total two-building development, would be allowed one 160 sq, ft, sign equivalent to the two free- standing 80 sq, ft. signs that are allowed. The placeMent of the sign did not bother him. Mr, Plemel stated f�e did not think the distance was any problem, He did not find the sign that offensive. Some signage is necessary, and he would be in favor of the variances. Mr, Betzold stated he did not know the present sign existed until this matter came up. He had noticed the development and the attractive wall signage but not the sign identifying the Center. Therefore, he did not know how he would notice a new sign, 7his is a very busy part of University Ave., and it would take a pretty big sign to get people's attention. Ne did not want big signs to catch attention. It was true the whole Center was allowed 160 sq. ft. in signage but there was no guarantee tf�at if they limit the Center to one siqn and one deveTopment was soid separately that there wouldn't be a request for a second sign in addition to the one they are beinq asked to approve at this meetinq. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 15, 1985 PA6E 15 Mr, Betzold stated that regarding the pronerty line, he did not see anv reason why it should be at zero feet. He could not go along with either variance request, the remedy being--let the petitioner fiave two 80 sq, ft. signs. Ms. Gabel stated she understood the need for signage; however, she did not agree to the size of the sign, and she was concerned about its placement. MOTZON BY MR. BARNA, SECONDED BY MR.

The Zonir.g Code use� the tern conmence whereas the Appeals Commission Code used the word coocleted. It uas the deteeKaination of the Appeals Comsission that the proper vord should be cormenced, because many projects could not be cocyleLed within a one year time frame and they felt that as long as the vork was started tte varisnce xould be ir. effect. If the Council has a proble� with a completion period, both Chapters should De changed to s�tisfy the concerns. There is no Stzte statute that precludes the City from establishing reviEVal or cobpletion periods. Therefore, if it's desired, the aFpropriote sections of Lhe Code could be changed Lo read "If, within one year ai'ter grar.tir.g a variance, the recipient of tt,e variance ha� not cos,�en�ed Lhe work, as peruitted by the variance, �pd/or the work is not coc�ieted uithin L�+o vears, then Lhe variance shall become null and voi� un:e�s a petitior, for ar. extension of time to co¢plete the work has been grar.ted by the Ccuncil.� Sir.ce a public henrir� vas had on Lhe ChapLer 205 and Chapter 6 cha:,bes and the above su�gestion is not a significar.t cC.ange, another public hearir.g on tnis ite� would not be required. If the Council desires to incorporate Lhis proced�re, they coulc either ser.0 it back to Lhe AFpeals Commission for,evieu, or they could a¢er.d Chapter 6 to incorporate this ch ange at Lhe first readir�. If the Council should incorporate this change to Chapter 6, they st,ould nake a sicilar retion to amend Chapter 205.05.5G to incorporate ti,e sac�e lar.guage durine the 2r.� readir.s.
