CRRRIED UNAIJIMOUSLY.
1. OLD BUSINESS:
a. Up<iate on City's Disaster Preparedness: Tim Turnbull, Public Safety
Projects Coordinator
11r. Turnbull stated that since he fiad spoken on this subject last surmier
regarding the radio tone activation system, the City had applied for
sone funds from the Federal Government, had received those funds, and
ha� entered into a contractual arrangenent with Healey Rcff, a conpany
that has been awarded the contract witfi Hennepin County to provirie a t�ao-
way radio tone activation and feed6ack system, This is a system a�here
a radio tone is sent out and t�iat tone basically tells the siren to qo off
HUItAN RESOURCES COHMISSI01� t4EETI(!G, APRIL 3, 19II6 PAGF 2
and sensors at tF�e site determine if, in fact, the siren did go off and
is going off and then sends 6ack a siqnal that tells the people in the
Central Communication Center that, yes, the siren did go off.
F4r. Turnbull stated the system has a variety of safe9uards on it so the
sirens don't get activated inadvertently, and the system is capable of
providing a number of tests to the siren site, some of them are audible
tests or a test that is called a silent test tfiat would, for exarsple,
ssnd out a signal that everything was worl:ing except it did not set the
siren off.
I1r. Turnbull stated the cor�pany, Nealey Ruff Yient through an extensive
bi�lding process conducted primarily by liennepin County, but during the
entire process, staff fror� the City of Fridley and Anol:a County were
present. Eventually the bid Y1d5 awarded to Healey avff Healey Ruff
has developed this system for I!ennepin Countv and no�� are installinn it
and testing it in Hennepin County.
!1r. Turnhull stated they are experiencing and have experienced some delays
with the project. The latest delay occurred when inadvertently ahout
12 sirens went off last week when the tenperature got up into the £30's.
Apparently, there was some type of micro-chip in the radio that did not
meet specifications set in the bid and, consequently, was heat sensitive
at too low a temperature.
�4r. Turnbull stated that because of this, the testin9 which has been
rather extensive in Ilennepin County is continuinq. They have not given
the comoany the final de9ree of acceptance. The product works very well
as far as setting off the sirens, but tlie problem has been in little
detailed areas. So, currently, the system has not been installed in the
City of Fridley, nor does the City of Fridley want it to be installed in
Anoka County at this point. They want all the probler�s worked out in
Hennepin County and then bring the conpleted project to Anoka County at
Central Communications for installation first and then have then installed
at the 8 siren sites in fridley.
Mr. Turnbull stated he was quite sure the new system would not be installecl
before the severe weather season which o-ias alr�ost here now. It would be
foolish to look at a conversion of the system cluring the severe weather
season. They are probably lookinq at installation sone time after the
first of July wfiicfi is basically the end of the critical severe weather
season.
Mr. Turnbull stated the City will be writin� and as4:ina for an extension
of the grant funds to be used; otherwise, they would have to expen�l those
funds before June 1, 1956.
P1r. Turnbull stated that was information regarding tfie first phase of the
eraergency warning system. The second phase was that 1986 funds have been
set aside by the City Council that would a11oY� for the replacement of the
8 sirens tf�emselves. The current sirens are about 16 yrs. old, and they
HUI1A1� RESOURCES COI1P1ISSIO�J MEETING, APRIL 3, 1936 PAGE 3
are looking at replacing the electric mechanical sirens they now have
with new electronic sirens. The advantage of the electronic sirens
would be some PA capabilities that require less r�aintenance and are More
reliable. These systems �aould be battery backed-up in case of a power
outage. They have a procedure set up now to operate both in Hennepin
County and Anoka County where there is a clear-cut path of communication
to the National 4leather Service. Based on certain criteria, people at
Central Cortwnunications can recomnend that the sirens be set off. The
sirens can also be set off in terms of a direct communication from a
qualified source in the field; for example, a law enforcer�ent officer.
The Conmissioners thanked �1r. Turnbull for this updated inforr�ation.
b. l•lelcome to New Commission Flember - Claudia �odge
t4s. Sherek welcomed Ms. Dodge to the Cortmission.
�1s. Uodge stated she has lived in Fridley for a little over a year, She
works with Corarnunity Education in Anoka-liennepin School District in the
City of Ramsey.
"ts. Dodge stated she was originally from Qemidji where she was President
of the t4ental liealth Association in that county. She stated she has alarays
been interested in hunan conditions and the human services area and wanted
to 9et invalved in her own comnunity. She was very involved in the Citv
of Ramsey. In readin9 through all the descriptions of the commissions,
she thought the I�uman Resources Commission sounded liY.e a very interestinc�
corvnission to serve on.
c. Acceptance Qf Resignation from Harold Belgum
!4r. Hunt stated that he had talked �•rith Hr. Belgum on the telephone
that day. Decause of health problens, t1r. Relgum has decided to resiqn
from the Commission.

e. Consideration of Human 5ervice I�eeds in Fridley. Review ProjecC
Description for a Directory of Social and Financial Services for the
People of Friclley
^1s. Sherek stated the Commissioners had recently received in the mail a
copy of the "Third Edition of A NfFtAPJ'S PLACE, A Guide to !�Jonen's Legal
and Economic Rights in �1innesota put out y t e Commission on the
Economic Status of 4lomen.
t1r. Pierce stated this publication really seemed to cover aihat he had in
mind for a directory of socia] and financial services for people in
Fridley. Ne liked the exar�ples of situations given in the puhlication.
It was geared toward women and worsen 4iould probably use the inforr�at,ion
the nost,
f1s. Sherek stated she would like to contact Ruth Dunn of the fridley
Focus and have her run excerpts from A W0�1Etd'S PI.ACE in a series in order
to get this information out to the pu lic.
Mr. Pierce stated that since there was already this pubiication, he did
not think the Commission needed to pursue the idea of a directory with
high school students in the gifted program in School District #14. He
stated he would contact 5usan Cathey, the Director of the Gifted Program
in School Oistrict #14, and oive her this information.

the training. She stated Syl [3ooth, Enforcement Officer for the Depart-
ment of fiuman Rigfits, fiad indicated the possibility of an additional
training session which wou7d cover the area of housing because the
information was so complex it needed more than just a one-day workshop.
t1s. Sherek suggested the Cormission contact the no-fault grievance
committee in Rosevil � as they fiave been very successful in dealing with
sone of the larger ccmpanies and the cor�panies' attorneys. She also
stated they uiight want to contact the human resources departments of
each of the najor employers in Fridlev and some of the major unions tfiat
service the Fridlev companies with possibly a letter and a brochure on
the �do-Fault f,rievance Procedure.
P•ir, liurit stated two things they will have to do noar is try to find out
when the next training session will be so those not able to attend the
Marcli 22 training session will have an opportunity to have the trainina,
and then start workinq on sor�e ideas for publicity.
tir. Dillings suggested the Cor�mission set up some standard operating
procedures for the FJo-Fault Grievance Committee.

one or two individuals should be involved in a grievance and the legal
repercussions involved.

h. Progress Report on Resolution Recommending Niring Priorities for
Sunmer Jobs
F1r. Nunt stated he could find no record of any action taken by the

2. NEIJ BUSII�ESS:
a. Consideration of Ideas for 19II6-37 Work Plan
The following suggestions were made for the T986-f37 work plan:
l. Publicize the formation of the Plo-Fauit frievance Committee.
2. Set up some standard operating procedures for the No-Fault Grievance
Committee.

last two years the Commission has sent a"thank-you" postcard out to
the volunteers. He stated that in January the City Council had a
volunteer appreciation dinner for aTl cor�raissioners and spouses. He
stated the otl�er big group of volunteers in the City basically are for
the Sprinqbrook P�ature Center Foundation, and the Springhrook Natur•e
Center Foundation is very good at recognizing its volunteers.
He stated that at this point, he thought it r�ight be redundant for th?
Connission to send out any kind of "thank-you" this year.
f15. Sherek stated she did not want this opportunity to go unnoticed,
and she suggested that an article be placed in the Fridley Focus
recagnizing a11 the City of Frid]ey volunteers.

B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"The house is too small for the fanily at this tine. Due to the odd
lot shape, it is difficult to acconplish anythiny without a variance."
C. ADtiII�ISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The petitioner's house is the lz.<,t house on Ashton before the street
curves to the left onto Rice Creek tlay. The cunc �urves to the west,
the Right-of-Way curves to the east causinq the existing house to be
closer than the required 35 feet fror� the front lot line (approximately
11 feet). The existing house is in line aaith the house to the sou±h
(variance granted September 1972).
The petitioner nor�rtants to add two feet onto the front of the house
and to do so he has requested a variance to go fron the existing 11 feet
to 9 feet for a front yard variance.
If the Doard approves this request, the staff has no stipul�tions to
recocimend.
Mr. Clark showed the Commissioners an aerial photo shrn�ing ho�t the right-
of-way went one way an�i thc ruib went another. He stated that in the aqenda
a�as a survey depicting the same confiquration.
Mr. Clark stated that as pointed out in the Adroinistrative Staff Cenort,
there 4ias a previous variance request to build onto the house so the house
riould line up with the rest of the houses on the block. Thai variance ��as
granted,
�"r. Clark stated also in the agenda ��as a letter from the neighbor to the
south, James & Karin Callanan, stating they had no objection to the variance
request.

1. PRFSEfdTATION Of APPRECIllTION PLACQUE TO CAROLYII SUE�IDSEt�:
�1r. Prieditis welcomed back former HRA nemher, Carolyn Svendsen. Ne statecl
he had the great pleasure and honor to present her with a olacque prepared
by the City reco9nizing her long and excellent service to the HRA. He
stated it had been a pleasure to serve on the corm�ission �!ith F1s. Svendsen.
He stated that on behalf of the members of the HRA, he woul�i lil:e to arish
her the best of luck in the future.
tis. Svendsen thanked the HRA nenbers for the placque. She stated i� hatl
been a priviiege to serve on the Fridley NRA. In coming back that eveninn,
she realized how much she and her fanily had enjoyed living in Fridley, and
serving on the cor�nission was a small way of saying "thank you" to fridley.

becane nore familiar with the new position,he would become the staff persr,n
to the HRA.

t1r. Qureshi stated the City has been working �uith Anoka County to improve
t•lississippi St. The City has improved 5th St, and is now working with Moka
County in requesting that they includetiississippi St. Anoka County has
submitted a preliminary plan to the City which provides one additional lane
going west on the east side of University Ave, and ttississippi, and two addi-
tiooal lanes on the west side of University coming onto University--one
direct right into Ifolly Center and two straiqht and four lanes coriing out
goinq from west to east onto University Ave.
"1r. Rureshi stated this plan required Anol;a County to acquire some additional
riqht-of-way. lJhen Target ��+as developed, the Ci*_y acquired additional right-
of-way on the south side of tlississippi. The County's propose.d plan requires
additional right-of-�iay from 1Q,00� Auto Parts. 41ith the improver�ent of Ho11y
Center, the City acquired sone additional right-of-way sn no additional right-
of-way �res needed on the north side of Mississippi Street in this area.
�1r, Qureshi stated the Cou�ty does need additional right-of-Vrav on the south
side of tlississippi, and the County is starting the process of acquirinn rinht-
of-way. The County is requesting that right-of-way be granted by the HRA
on those properties o�m ed by the HRA, Dr, Ryan's Automotive and the Fridley
Liquor llarehouse.
�1r. Qui•eshi stated that also provided in the County's proposal was that there
will be no openinq at the first entrance into Holly Center from University.
Traffic coning out of Holly Center cannot maf:e a left onto 11ississippi goin�
east. They are tryinq to provide a better traffic flo�+ throuqh the intersec+ion.
F1r. Qureshi stated the City hopes that Anoka County a�ill interact with the
tenants and o4mers of the shoppinq center and at least advise then o° this
proposal, From a pure traffic point of view, this is the bes+, proposal.
Moka f,ounty is proposing to extend the island heyond the first entrance
into Holly Center. This pulls the traffic coming out of Holly Center a�ray
from the intersection to create r�ore stacl:ing room.
"1r. Prieditis stated this traffic pattern did mal:e r�re sense because they
don't want traffic crossina a najor street so close to an intersection.
Mr. Prairie stated he would be concerned about the businesses on the south
side of 1lississippi and the access to those businesses; for example, the
D�iry Queen and [3urger Y.in�.
Mr.Qureshi staCed t4iat is the County's conCern, as the City is not involved
in the adquisition of right-of-way, other than the granting of the right-of-
way by tiie HRA for the gas station and liquor store properties. That ��hy
the City was encoura9ing the County to advise the tenants of this proposal.

Mr. Qureshi stated he had given the HP.A this inforr�ation iast year. At that
tine, they had a rough estimate fron IJSP. NoYr P�SP has ma^� ±heir detailed
p1an5, and they feel the cost will be more in the area of SII5-90,000, so they
are asking the HRA to authorize 590,000 for the relocation of WSP power lines
underground on 1lississippi St. west of University Ave. /11so, service would
have to be provided to Dr, Ryan and power to the Holly Center si9n. That
estimate was $5,000 or under, so that was the reason for the request for

P1r, Barna asked if all the other houses alonn that block were "s5 ft, from
the property line.
14r, Clark stated that to his kno��ledge, they were. 41ith the proposed
addition, this house would be 2 ft. in front of the houses to the south.
"1r, Barna stated he had a hard tir�e findinq a hardship with this variance
rec�uest, and he did not see �ahere the addition of 2 ft. �aould improve the
livability of the house that greatly.
11r. Sherel: stated he did have a little difficulty in seeing the fiardship;
however, he could not see that adding 2 ft, to the front of tlie house would
harm the aesthetics in any way.
ttr, Betzold stated he, too, had a difficulty o-rith the hardship. He stated
a variance was granteA in 1972 to nake the house in line with the houses to
the south, which was fine, but now the petitioner wants to go 2 ft, beyond
that for convenience rather than a real need. He stated the City has been
almost too generous in qranting variances, bu� the i�iea is they should not
set a policy of grant9ng a variance just betaiisP someone wants to do soMething
the city code doesn't allo�i. f1e stated if the Commission recormends not to
approve this variance, then the City Council will consider the request and
will have the final authority.
11s. Serou stated the kitchen was the central part of the house, and if some-
one has to move to get around a table, then she felt that was a hardshi�.
The fanily spends a lot of time in the kitchen and dining area, and if the
additinn of 2 ft. helps a7leviate the problem, then she would be in favnr
of qranting the variance. 5he stated that in the past, they granted a variance
on Rice Creek Road for a 2'; ft. addition to a dining room and livinq room for
entertaining purposes.
�1r, 6arna stated that, as �1r. Sherek had pointed out, this 2 ft, addition
would not harm the aesthetics of the house, and the irtent of the lavr ��!ould
still be fulfilled; however, he still had a hard time findinq �•�here this u�as

Ci. STATED HARDSHIP:
"7he existing code requirer�ents on sethacks place unreasonable restric-
tions on this land. To meet the C-3's requirements would ma4:e this
prnperty unbuildab7e,"
C. ADIIINISTRATIVE STAFF RFVIEII:
This sar�e request was made in 1932 and an aMended recor�men�iation Y�as
forwarded to Ci*.y Council increasinq the setback from the south line
from the requested 5 feet to 10 feet to allo�� the petitioner to have
south windows. They also reconmended that tf�e front yard lie decreased
fr� the requested 35 feet to 30 feet.
The rest of the variances were eliminated by redesignin� the structure
and parking layout.
The stipulations of approval back then were to submit a parkinn
agreement for joint use on the lot to tlie south and to grant a street
easer�ent on the corner of 63rd and the servire drive.
f1r. Clarl: stated this was a two-story building with a baser�ent, He stated
there was a similar request on this lot in 1978 that tvas granted. In 1982,
Mr. Doty was before the Appeals Commission again, and the Appeals Cor�mission
modified the variance request slightly, The modified recommendation
forwarded on to the City Council vias to increase the sethack on the south
line fi�on 5 ft. to 10 ft, so the petitirrner culd put windows in the south wa11.
and to decrease the fr�nt yard sett�ack fror� 35 ft. to 30 ft. The rest of the
variances were eliminated by redesigning the s*.ructure and parkinq layou±.
APPEALS COHPIISSI�N MEETI��G APRIL 15 1986 PAGE 6
Mr, Clark stated that in 1982 after the Appeals Comnission had met and before
tfLe City Council had met to discuss the variances, the HRA took an option on
the property. In conjunction with that, F1r. Doty participated in the buildinq
of the Fridley Plaza Office Building next to City Hall. Mr. Doty then with-
drew his variance requests, because he apparently was not going to orrn the
property, so tfie City Counci7 did not act on the variances. Th�t variance
request was lonc� enough ago that 11r. Doty must again petition for tliese
variances.
h1r. Betzold stated that in the Aug. 24, 1982, minutes, Ptr.floty essentially
requested the same five variances that. he was requestinq this time. The
Appeals Commission recorranended to the City Council that those variance be
reduced to two variances--to reduce the side yard setback on a corner lot from
tf�e required 80 ft, to 30 ft. and to reduce the side yard setbacl: on tha south
side of the building fror� 15 ft. to 10 ft. He stated he did not know �vhat
had changed since that time that would justify the granting of all five
variances.
�1r. Doty stated it was his recollection that in 19�2 there were discussions
with Mr. Virgil Herrick that there would be some shared parkinq on the north
lot line with a cor�mon driveway. Since that tine, '1r. Herrick has had sorie
or�posals submitted to expand his building, In a recent discussion witfi
�1r. Dave PJe��mian, �ir. Doty stated P1r. PJeHrman had stated that they ��ere not
presently planning to expand, but if they do, they riill have a pari;ing prohlem.
1r, Doty stated that was one of the reasons he had qone back to all five
variances requested in 1982.
t1r, Doty stated he was requesting that the parking lot aisles be reduced fror�
25 ft. to 23.5 ft, and the parking stalls be reduced fror� 2� ft, to 18 ft.
He stated cars have gotten smaller, and he would fiave a probler� meetinq the
Parking lot provisions a�ithout those variances.
th•. Doty stated the buildinn was exactly the sar�e as in 1932; the only changes
were interior changes. It would be of the sane building materials as the
other huildings in the Center Citv area.
P1r. Doty stated he a�as willing to build what stiould be built within reason,
but he Fwped the Conmissioners understood that there had to be some qive and
tal;e in order to make this lot buildable. He stated he has been paying high
taxes on this pro�erty for 13 years, and he has invested more into the
Property than it is worth on the open market.
Mr. Clark stated that if all the lot dimensions were correct--302 ft. width,
6yfts�short of makinqSthet3D2�ftcurbf�theycshortenedtthe three stal�s fron
20 ft, to 18 ft, where they go into a curb or side��alk, that would make the
�ttidtF� of 302 it. TF�e aisles could remain at 25 ft. He stated Staff had no
probleri reducing parl;ing stall depths from 20 ft. to 18 ft. into curbs or
stdewalks because of tfie overf�ang.
APPEALS CQ�11-tISSION NEETINf,, APRIL 15 1986 PAGE 7
�ir. Clark stated the variances could be revised as follows:
1. The 71 ft, could 6e reduced 6y 4 ft., hecause the houlevard setback
off University could be reduced from 24 ft. to 20 ft.; therefore,
the variance o-iould 6e from tf�e required 8(1 ft. to 67 ft. in the front yard.
2. To reduce the side yard setback on a corner lot from the required
IIO ft, to 30 ft.
3, To reduce the side yard set6ack on the south side of the building
fron 15 ft. to 10 ft,
4. This variance would 6e elir�inated because the parking aisle would meet
code at 25 ft.
5. To reduce the parking lot stalls that face curbs or side�aalks from the
required 20 ft, to T8 ft.

Hr. Barna stated that he had E�een on the Conmission since the beginninn with
tl�is item. He realized that the main reason this property has been in ]imho
as long as it has was because of the HRA and not because of the petitioner.
He realized there were sor�e arrangenents ta11:eA abou± in 1982 �•iith the adjoin-
ing property owner to share a cor�mon drivearay and parking, but those arranqe-
ments were no lon9er viable. IJi*_hout the variances, he could see where the

architectural design, f�e felt it would fit in o-ritfi the other huildinqs in th?

Mr. Salenski stated he has a small two bedroom house. The bedrooms are very
small, the larger one being 10'-z x 11!z. He stated he wanted to expand the
smaller bedroom to make it a livable size. He stated the hardshi� was hard
to define, other than that he needed to make the home more li��able for himself
and his two children who live with him part-time, !ie stated that when the
house was built, it �vas built 7.8 ft, fron the property line; however, there
was still 20 ft. between his house and the neighboring house to the south.
1�1r, Barna stated this house at 837'2 sq. ft, was an ex+�remely small house by
Fridley standards. He could understand needing more room for cfiildren, and
he could understand the need for more livable space. Tfie addition would make
the house more convenient for the oetitiQner's family situation as well as
more saleahle in tf�e future anca �qre valuable to the city itself. The reason
�1r. Salenski needed the variance was because of a pre-existing situation.

Ms. Sava�e stated she had loo{:ed at the property. She stated the back yard
was totally fenced in with a fairly high fence so it was not as if there was
sonething obtrusive that was being cfianged to tfie character of the house.
And, it did appear to 6e a very small F�ouse.

Ms, Savaqe stated she did knorrtlr. Salenski because he was a Fridiey noiice
officer; and as an Assistant Anoka County Attorney in the Criminal Division,
she had worked with t4r. SaTenski in tiie past. ShP did not helieve there �aas
any conflict of interest because of this.
^7r, Sherek stated he had looked at the property and the addition plans. He
felt a small house of this size in this day and a9e was a hardship in itself,
and he dtd not see any other practical way io make that extension without
conforming to the 7.8 ft. setback wliici� was established prior to the current
regulation of 10 ft, Under the circumstances, he saw enough of a hardship
to grant this variance.
Fir. [iarna stated he a�reed with �4r. Sherek. In lookinn at the aerial photo9raph,
there was only one other house on the blocR that was about the same size, and it
was across the street. The house was much smaller than the average house on
the 61oc1: and in tf�e neighborF�oal and was well belovi the average siZe house
for the City of Fridley, the avera9e being 920 sq, ft.
t4r. 6arna stated that due to the present layout of thP house, this plan �ras
the only reasonable aray to expand. He helie.ved the expansion was necessary
and that the actual need for a variance was because of a pre-existing problem
that exis±ed long 6efore the city code was established and was no fault of the
petitioner's. He would be strongly in favor of granting the variance.
t1s. Savaqe stated she would agree with aiha*. had been said hy t1r, Sherek anci
'ir. Barna. The property was in conformity generaily with the spirit of the
code in that there was a total of 20 ft, between iivinct areas, anrl she thou�ht
the hardship had been established sufficiently, The addition as planned was
the only thing that could be done and the add�tion was needed.
Mr, Betzold stated he also concurred with the other corrc�issioners. He s*.ated
they get into these situations periodically witi� the earlier houses that ti-�ere
built in the citv, and they cannot move the.property line or the house. As
was mentioned, the fiouse was quite small, and there were pro6ably garac�es in
thE area that �ere bigger tf�an the petitioner`s house. Since the F�ouse was
alreadv at 7.8 ft. an� the petitioner was just extending the fiouse at the same
setbacl: arid there was stil] 2D ft. between f�ouses, granting the variance viould
not violate the spirit of tfie code, He, too, would be in favor of granting
the variance.

Mr. Barna stated that at the April 7, 1986, City Council meeting, the
City Council members had mentioned what Mr. Barn� had brought up aboirt
a manth ago at the Appeals Comnission regardin9 the changing of the
Sign Ordinance. The Commission (�ad previously directed Staff tv look
at the possibility of changing the Sigh Ordinance, not necessarily to
be in line with surrounding cormunities, but to halance out their own
city, possibiy looking at changing the erdinance so that signage for
a particular development would be established by the size of the develop-
ment, the size of tf�e shopping district, or store area, rather than as
it is now where everything is the same, which is 80 sq. ft, of signage.
He stated that in some places, 80 sq. ft, is fine, but in other places,
80 sq. ft. is much too small.
t1r. Barna stated that Councilman Schneider made a motion (page S of
the April 7 City Council minutes} directing staff to have a proposed
draft revision of the Sign Ordinance presented to the City Council by
their last meeting in May with or �aithout a recommendation fron the

Environmentsl Quality Commission minutes.
UPDK A 1'OICE 1'OTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON WELLAh DECLARED 1'HE P1I;�UTES
APPROVED AS WRITTEN.
1. DISCUSSIOr On COMPOSTING
Ms. Gibson disttibute� copies of a notice sent out bv Anoka County
describing the ne�� compost site near Bunker Fiills golf course in
Coon Rapids. The site �;as formerly located closcr to Fridle�, and
since its move, the site is much further from Fridley. t•fs. Gibson
has met Hith staff at Spring Lake Park about working together to
start up a compost site, Spring Lake Park ��ould like to N'ork HiYh
}ridley, but identifying a site is the problem with Spring Lake Park
and Pridley. Spring Lake Fark had suggested Spring I.ake, but Sprinp
Lake Park Council did not approt�e.
h1r. Peterson stated that Spring Lake Park Nould not have a site on the
w�st side of Spring Lake because that area is to be developed.
M1L-. Gibson indicated that a representative from Afaunds Fiew had takcn
pictures of the ocmpost site in that city. These pictures Here passed
around for the commissivn to review. Pis. Gibson has talked Hith City
staff about the site at Locke Park. The area next to S.O.R.T. is close
to the area �.here grarel is stored. The ideal size for the site Nould
be abont lOQ' A'00'. Dfs. Gibson was not sure how much area was available.
The site has good access, has an existing fence on tko sides, and is
screened by trees and by S.O.R.T.
ENYIRO\MENTAL QUALITY COKMISSION MEETING, APRIL 30, 19$6 PACE 2
Mr. Svanda asked if the City staff were receptive to the use of this site
for composting.
Ms. Gibson was not sute.
Ms. Gibson stated that the Mounds View site was 150' x 300'. The acea
needs to be large enough for the compost piles and for the equipment.
Pfounds view keeps their compost for 2 to 3 years. Spring Lake Park is
still considering some sites, Uut their space is limited.
Mr. Wellan asked if the Locke Park site would be large enough to handle
compost from both Spring Lake Park and Fridley.
Ms. Gibson felt that other areas would also make use of the site, including
Columbia Heights residents, so any site would need to be large enough to
handle the needs of Fridley residents plus others who would also like to
use the site. One concern is cost. An idea was to get volunteer groups
to monitor the site or hire an older person to monitor. Volunteers could
also help with signs and distributing flyers.
'ds. Cibson indicated that she tiould measure the area and then the commission
could make a recommendation on whether oz not to work with Spring Lake Park.
Mr. H`ellan noted that the area available would be a deciding factor on
whether or not to include Spring Lake Park. The site could initially 6c
set up for Fridley; and if expanding is feasible, Spring Lake Park could
be added in the future.
Mr. Sva�da suggested getting in touch with the staff at the PCA or Met
Council. By providing them Nith the cities to 6e served, they may be ablc
to provide an estimate of how much land would be needed.
Ms. Gibson added that layout is also important. She suggested contacting
others who have set up compost sites.
Mr. Wellan asked how the staff in the Parks Department felt about the compost
site.
Ms. Gibson indicated that staff could voice their opinions at the City
Council meeting when the item is brought up for discussion.
P]s. Gibson indicated that she would measure the land
if the area is sufficient to include Spring Lake Park
discussed further at the next meeting.
2. DISGtiSSIO� ON S.O.R.T. CEhTER
available and then see
. The subject can 6e
Ms. Gibson indicated that Mr. Frank has asked for $200 per month for
operating S.O.R.T. One of the reasons is that he pays volunteets $30 per
week for their help> but with the low prices being paid for recycled
��' materials, Mr. Frank cannot recover these costs. Some suggestions includcd
stopping payment to volunteers or gzving �r. Frank the income from the waste
oil to help him cover his expenses. Ms. Gibson asked the commission for their
comments.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMNISSION MEETING, APRIL 30, 1986 PAGE 3
Mr. Nielsen indicated that withou[ the volunteers at S.O.R.T., there would
very likely be no recycleables over a period of time.
Mr. Svanda asked how Ms. Metcalf handled paying the volunteers.
Ms. Gibson indicated that Ms. Metcalf paid the volunteers up to $25 per
week and then later raised the amount to $30 per week. Mr. Frank is payin�
$30 per week. Ms. Gibson distributed copies of the memo to Mr. Robinson
regarding payment of $Z00 per month to Mr. Frank and an estimated budget.
. Ms. Gibson felt that Mr. Frank cauld be paid $200 per month as the b�dget
now exists. However, it is possible that Beerman Services will raise thc
rate for the curbside program. Then the budget figures would change.
Mr. Wellan asked if there were any changes foreseen in revenues.
Ms. Gibson did not think there would be any changes. The joint powers
agreement from Anoka County has been received and signatures are now being
obtained. Anoka County funds should arrive in early summer., and continue
until December 1987.
Mr. Svanda felt that Mr. Beerman's intentions needed to be known. He did
not see a problem with providing Mr. Frank with the income. If it is
necessary to place priorities in the budget, Mr. Se�anda would place the
recycling projects first and che compost site second.
Mr. Peterson felt the two programs complemented each other.
Mr. Wellan felt that the recycling programs have a bigger effect on the
environment than composting.
Ms. Gibson indicated that citizens do not like to pay extra to have leaves
and grass clippings hauled auay, but recycling is a year round colleCtion.
Ms. Gibson indicated that the $Z00 per month figure had been included in
the budget that was distributed. She indicated that some of the other
figures could go down including postage and printing. An Eagle Scout has
contacted the city about a project for the recyclinR program including a
survey, delivering brochures, ete. :12so, tiie .Ja}'cees haie a school ei3ucation
program Uiey� are Horking on to help educate children abouL recycling.
Mr. Wellan asked why the sale of �aaste oiI was not considered as income.
Ms. Gibson indicated that the income from waste oil goes into the general
fund.
Mr. Wellan felt it okay to pay Mr. Frank the $200 per month and felt that
the income from the sale of waste oi1 shouid go into the recycling budget.
MOTION by Mr. Peterson, seconded by Mr. Svanda, [o approve the expenditure
of 5200 per month to Mr. Earl Frank Yo compensate him for maintaining and
operating the S.Q.R.T. Aecycling Center.

3. UPDATE Or MET C011NCIL TONNAGE REBATE PROGRAM
Ms. Gibson submitted a report to the Met Council for the rebate, but the
City needs to provide weight tickets from Beerman Services and S.O.R.T.
Beerman Services sent their weight tickets from April and they have the rest
which will be sent. Mr. Frank, however, states that he doesn't have wei�t�t
tickets. Ms. Gibson felt that his numbers appeared to be high for the iainter
months at S.O.R.T. when compared to previous years.
Mr. Wellan felt that part of the condition for P1r. Frank to be paid $200
per month would be for him to first provide the weight tickets.
Ms. Gibson noted that she was planning to deduct an administration fee.
She suggested amending the motion conditional on the receipt of weight
tickets. A record of weight that the Met Council will accept is needed.
Mr. Wellan indicated that Mr. Prank should have some feel for what he is
picking up from each municipality. If he picks up recycleables from
several municipalities, hauls them to a seller in one group, Mr. Frank
should be able to indicate an approximate percentage for each municipality.
Ms. Gibson indicated that Mr. Frank went to The Met Council tio see if they
would accept one weight ticket for several municipalities with the percent-
ages indicated. It was his understanding that it was acceptable, but it now
seems that the Met Council wants weight tickets for each municip;ility.
Mr. Peterson felt that this created too much accounting for these recycling
companies.
P1r. H`ellan agreed. If there is too much required accounting, these items
caill eventually find their way back to the waste stream.
Pis. Gibson didn't know if Mr. Frank should be required to provide wei�ht
tickets for,each month. Perhaps it could be done quarterly.
Mr. Svanda felt the commission needed to figure out the best way to handle.
the situation.
Mr. liellan indicated that the information was necessary, but that Mr. Frank
could provide the information in whatever fashion was easier for him.
AMEhDMErT TO MOTION by Mr. Peterson, seconded by Mr. Svanda, to make
the payment of $200 per month conditional upon the receipt of the
weight tickets from the dumping of the recycleables on a quarterly
basis.

Ms. Gibson reviewed the first invoice of the Curbside Recycling Budget
for Anoka County.
4. UPDATE ON CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM
Ms. Gibson reviewed the Jaycee's outline for the proposed education in
Fridley schools as received from Dale Thompson. Ms. Gibson distributed
a copy of a book provided by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency which
is geared toward elementary students. The City would need only to help
promote this program.
5. DISCUSSION ON 1984 k'ORKPLAN
Ms. Gibson reviewed the workplan with the commission memUers. A number
of updates and changes were recommended. Ms. Gibson indicated that she
would make the updates and changes as discussed, and the revised workplan
could then be reviewed at the next meeting.
6. OTHER BUSINESS
a. Ms. Gibson indicated that the City Council is considering several
persons for the vacant position on the commission and that this person
tiill hopcfull}' Ue at thc ne�t meeting.
b. Ms. Gibson indicated that soil tests have been requested in junkyards
in Fridley to see if hazardous waste was getting into creeks.a»� soil_

This issue will come w the commission when the results are obtained.
The soil tests were tequested by the City Council through an independent
firm. The owners know that there is the potential for a problem. Ms.
Gibson felt that the City was trying to take steps to have owners make
improvements to contain hazardous wastes and neutralize them. Commission
members Mere asked to attend the P1ay 19th City Council meeting.

City needs to provide weight tickets from Beerman Services and S.O.R.T.
Beerman Services sent their weight tickets from April and they have thc rest
which will be sent. Mr. Frank, however, states that he doesn't have weigl�t
tickets. Ms. Gibson felt that his numbers appeared to be high for the iaintcr
months at S.O.R.T. when compared to previous years.
Mr. Wellan felt that part of the condition for Mr. Frank to be paid $200
per month would be for him to first provide the weight tickets.
Ms. Gibson noted that she was planning to deduct an administration fee.
She suggested amending the motion conditional on the receipt of weight
tickets. A record of weight that the Met Council will accept is needed.
Mr. Wellan indicated that Mr. Frank should have some feel for Hhat he is
picking up from each municipality. If he picks up recycleables from
several municipalities, hauls them to a seller in one group, Mr. Frank
should be able to indicate an approximate percentage for each municipality.
Ms. Gibson indicated that Mr. Frank went to the Met Council to see if they
would accept one weight ticket for several municipalities with the percent-
ages indicated. It was his understanding that it was acceptablc, but it now
seems that the Met Council wants weight tickets for each munic.ip;ility.
. Mr. Peterson felt that this created too much accounting for these recycling
companies.
Mr. k'ellan agreed. If there is too much required accounting, these items
tiill eventually find their way back to the waste stream.
Ms. Gibson didn't know if Mr. Frank should be required to provide weight
tickets for,each month. Perhaps it could be done quarterly.
Mr. S�anda felt the commission needed to figure out the best way to handle.
tlie situation.
Mr. Wellan indicated that the information was necessary, but that Mr. Frank
could provide the information in whatever fashion was easier for him.
AMENDM£NT TO PfOTIOr by Mr. Peterson, seconded by Mr. Svanda, toi� ke
the payment of $200 per month conditional upon the receipt of t�,,�
weight tickets from the dumping of the recycleables on a quarter�y
basis.

Ftidley schools as received from Dale Thompson. Ms. Gibson distributed
a copy of a book provided by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency which

5. DISCllSSION ON 1484 WORKPLAN

living area and side property lines.
APPEALS COt'PIISSIOI� 11[ETI!�G APRIL 29 1986 PAGE 2
Puhlic purpose served by this requirement is to r�iaintain a minimum of
20 feet between living areas in adjacent structures and 15 feet hetween
garages and living areas in adjacent structures to reduce exposure to
conflagration of fire. It is also to allo�� for aesthetically pleasincl
open areas around residential structures.
B. STAT[D 1{ARDSHIP:
"The existin9 house is 7.3 feet from the property line; there is 20 feet
between ny home and the neighbor's house. I need more floor space."
C. ADItINISTRATIVE STAfF REVIEIJ:
"Tfie original house was built in 1956. It is 7.8 feet fror� the south
pronerty line. The petitioner wants to add onto the rear of the existinq
house at the sar�e setbacl:. The petitioner wants to add on a 12 x 13.5
foot bedroom and a 12 x 14.5 foot 3 season porch.
"The staff has no stipulations to recorunend if tf�e Board moves to approve
this request."
Mr. t1oravetz shoa:ed the Canmissioners an aerial photo in which he had outlinPd

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Salenski stated he has a small two bedroom house. The hedroor�s are very
small, the larger one being 10'-2 x 11?z. He stated he wanted to expand the
smaller bedroom to make it a livable size. He stated the hardshin was hard
to define, other than that f�e needed to make the home more li��able for himself
and his two children who live �aith him part-time. He stated that when the
house �aas built, it was built 7.8 ft. fron the property line; however, there
was still 20 ft. between his house and the neighborin9 house to the south.
Mr. Barna stated this house at 837'i sq. ft. was an exfiremely small house by
Fridley standards. He could understand needing more room for children, and
he could understand the need for more livable space. The addition would make
the house more convenient for the petitioner's family situation as well as
more saleable in the future and mc�re valuable to the city itself. The reason
P1r. Salenski needed the variance was because of a pre-existing situation.
APPEALS C0�41ISSION 11EETI'JG, APRIL 29, 1486 PAGE 3
Ms. Savage stated she had looked at the property. She stated the back yard
was totally fPnced in with a fairly high fence so it was not as if there was
sonething obtrusive that was being cfianged to the cf�aracter of the house,
And, it did appear to be a very snall house.

UpON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTZNG AS'E� CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARF.D TN£ p['n*,rr�
NF.ARING CLOSF,D AT 7;46 P,M,
Ms, Savaqe stated she did kno�tiir. Salenski because he was a Fridley oolice
officer; and as an Assistant Anoka County Attorney in the friminal Division,
she had worked with 1�r. 5alenski in tfie past. She did not believe there was
any conflict of interest tiecause of this,
^1r, Sherek stated he had looked at the property and the addition plans. He
felt a small house of this size in this day and age was a hardship in itself,
and he did not see any other practical way to make that extension without
conforming to the 7.8 ft, setback whicfi was established prior to the current
regulation of 10 ft. Under the circumstances, he saw enough of a hardship
to grant this variance.
�ir. Qarna stated he agreed with t9r, Sherek, In lookin�t at the aerial photograph,
there was only one other house on the blocl: that was about the same size, and it
was across the street. The house was much smaller than the average house on
the blocl: and in tfie neigf�borho a1 and was well helovr the average size house
for tf�e City of Fridley, the average heing 920 sq, ft.
��r. Qarna stated that due to the present layout of the house, this plan v�as
the only reasonable �vay to expand. He believed the expansio� was necessary
and that the actual need for a variance was because of a pre-existing problem
that exis±ed long before the city code was established and was no fault of the
petiti�ner's. He would be strongly in favor of granting the variance.
tis. Savaqe stated she would agree with wha± had been said hy �1r. Sherek an�l
"ir. Barna. The property was in conformity generally with the spirit of the
code in that there was a total of 20 ft, between livinci areas, an�i she thouqht
the hardship had been established sufficiently. The addition as planned was
the only thing that could be done and the add'tion was needed.
Mr. Betzold stated he also concurred arith the other corrc�issioners. He s*ated
they get into these situations periodically witu the earlier houses that �•�ere
built in the city, and they cannot move the.property line or the house. As
was mentioned, the f�ouse was quite small, and there were pro6ably garages ir.
the area that v�re bigger than the petitioner`s house. Since the house was
alreadv at 7.8 ft. and the petitioner was just extending tf�e flouse at the same
setbac{: and there was still 20 ft, between houses, granting the variance ��ould
not violate the spirit of the code. He, too, rrould be in favor of granting
the variance.

3. OTHER [3USIWFSS:
a: Draft Revision of Sign Ordinance
Mr. 6arna stated that at the April 7, 1986, City Council meetinn, the
City Council members had Mentioned what F1r. Barna had hrought up about
a month ago at the Appeals Comnission regarding tf�e cf�anging of the
Sign Ordinance. The Comnission had previously directed Staff to look
at the possibility of changinq the Sign Ordinance, not necessarily to
be in line witfi surrounding cormunities, but to balance out their own
city, possibly looking at changing the erdinance so that signage for
a particular development would be establisF�ed by the size of the develop-
ment, the size of the shopping district, or store area, rather than as
it is now where everything is the same, which is 80 sq. ft. of signage.
He stated that in some places, 80 sq. ft, is fine, but in other places,
HO sq. ft. is much too snall.
ttr. Barna stated that Councilman Schneider made a motion (page 8 of
the April 7 City Council minutes) directing staff to have a proposed
draft revision of tlie Sign Ordinance present2d to the City Council hy
their last meeting in P1ay with or without a recomnendation fron the
Appeals Cor.mission.
The Commission members agreed they would like to have some in�irt into
the Siqn Ordinance revision.
