Mr. Robinson stated the plat is located west of East River Road and
south of the intersection of Rice Creek Way. He stated it is approxi-
mately one acre in size and zoned single family with single family
homes to the north and an apartment complex to the south.
Mr. Robinson stated the proposal is to split the parcel into two single
family lots; one with 18,047 square feet and the west lot would be
27,054 square feet. He stated this includes a private driveway for
access to the westerly lot. Mr. Robinson stated this is the real
question as the code states every property should have an access of
25 feet. He stated if the plat is approved, it should be with the
recognition of a variance since both lots will not have their own 25
foot access.
'� Mr. Robinson stated the plat shows the proposed house within 10 feet
" of the property line and believed a 25 foot minimum setback should be
maintained as there is room to move the home further south.
Mr. Barna asked what was located on the lot to the east of this pa.rcel.
Mr. Robinson stated it is a single family home that is set back about
_100 feet fram the new lot. He stated thare is a1So a l.arge stand of lilacs
and three-large spruce trees along the pr�perty liz�e. Mz, Rob.¢nson stated
the neare,st home to -tl�e n.orth is �eZl ov�r 150 fq�t fx�om thfs proposed
structure and the lots to ��e:north also util:ize a�o�uon driveway,
Mr. Robinson stated staff would recommend approval of this plat with
the following stipulations:
1. Hardsurface driveway to be installed to both existing and proposed
building prior to occupancy of new home.
2. Joint driveway and utility easement to be recorded prior to building
permit .
3. Utilities to be installed in a manner which preserves existing
vegetation.
� 4. Recorded at Anoka County prior to building permit.

prior to occupancy.
6. Park fee of $1,500 to be paid with the building permit.
7. There be a 25 foot setback f�om tha north property line.
Mr. Tom Louchs, representing the petitioners, Keith and Diane Harstad,
stated his client is in agreement with the stipulations recommended by
staff.
Mr. Paul Dahlberg, 6664 East River Road, stated he is the adjacent
property owr,er to the north. He stated he appreciates staff's re-
:com�en�g�ion to set the house back 25 feet.
Mr. Dahlberg stated the home to the east of this parcel and the home
on the river west of this parcel are both rental properties and he
hoped this home wouldn't become rental property. He stated it would
be nice to have perma.nent residen�s. in .those homes. ,
Mr. Dahlberg stated he would like to encourage the developer not to
d isturb the spruce tress or plantings on the east as they pravide
quite a significant barrier from the apartments.
Mr. Louchs stated he recognizes the fact there is a good deal of
^ vegetation used for screening and they wish to move the sewer and
water Lines so they wi11 not disturb the lilacs or spruce trees.
No other persons spoke regarding this proposed plat.

PLANNING CONIl�7ISSION MEETING. JULY 9, 1986 pA(� ��
^ Mr. Robinson stated the Planning Co�ission conducted a public hearing
on July 17, 1985 to consider improvements and possible sale of some
park property for single family lots. H� stated TKDA hat�r.��,�;t� concept
plans with improvement co.�ts of �350,000 to $425,000 wi���hl3.nc�uded extensive
redevelopment including extending Oakley Street to facilitate the new lots
and p�gY�-:�,r_�inag� ���.��.�z�ments .
Mr. Robinson stated the neighborhood was opposed to any sale of park
property for residential 1ots, but wanted the pa.rk improved. He
stated a citizen's advisory committee was formed to look at improving
the park and drainage and utilizing it for passive use. He stated
this cost would be about $270,000.
Mr. R.obinson stated onE idea is to proceed as proposed by the
advisory committee which includes the drainage system and the City
would pick up two-thirds of the cost•of the improvement and assess
the remaining cost to the adjoining property owners. Mr. Robinson
stated approximately 23 lots would be assessed with assessments rang-
ing from $2,500 to $3,900 per 1ot, depending on how it was assessed.
Mr. Robinson stated the Planning Commission should consider the motion
of the Parks and Recreation Commission. He stated a public hearing
would be necessary before any assessments could be Levied.
Ms. Sherek asked what would be a pa.ssive use of the park. Nh�. Robinson
stated ther� are existing facilities, but no new facilities would be
added other than walking areas and planting of some trees and shrubs.
�1
1�. Robinson stated the cost does include a new pa.rking 1ot and play
field, but, basically, the cost is for piping to improve the drainage
and to restore the grounds and landscaping.
Mr. Kondrick stated there is a lot of water retention in the park
and before anything could be done, this problem would have to be
alleviated. He stated this is a large area and there is good
potential for a nice park.
N�. Kondrick felt there is a lot of interest in the neighborhood to
improve the pa�k and very few want to leave it as it is now. He
felt a public hearing would be we11 attended.
Mr. Barna asked if a study had been done on the holding pond. Mr. Rob-
inson stated prelimin�.ry engYneering eaork has been completed by TI�A.
Ms. Sherek stated without changing the character of the park, she felt
four lots could be sold as this wou�ld help defray the cost for the
improvements. She felt the residents should be willing to pay the
amount the City would have received for sale of these lots.

7. CONSIDERATION OF RECODIFICATION OF CHAPTER 214 OF TTHE FRIDLEY CITY CODE
SIGNS, TO REGULATE FREIDOM OF SPEECH SIGNS:
Mr. Robinson stated the Planning Commission is familiar with the fact
that the City had a problem with persona3...�xpress3on_ signs._anti�_�he
Council has requested a rev3ew of the Sign Ordinance to deal with
this type of sign.
Mr. Robinson stated the C3ty Attorney's office has recoimmended these
types of signs not be overly.������=, ;�,�d, following these sugg-
estions, he outlined the requirements for a personal expression sign.
A. A maximum size of thirty-two (32) square feet in area
� per s�.gn.
B. A maximum of three signs per tax parcel.
C. A maximum distance of ten (10) feet from any property
line or driveway.
D� The sign does not contain any messages which are 1ibe1-
ous or obscene.
E. The sign is erected by the owner of the property upon which
it is located.
Mr. Robinson stated as far as permits, x�o permit would be required.
Mr. Barna asked how the size o€�th��.sign was determined. Mr. Robinson
stated it is the same as political signs.
Mr. Robertson stated the Council initiated the r.equest for personal
expression signs to be covered in the Sign Ordinance. He stated it
has been reviewed by the Council and referred to the Planning Com-
mission for their review and recommendation.
Mr. Robertson stated the Council made one change in the draft ordinance
by eli.minating the reference to libelous or obscene messages.
�`�
PLANNING COr�]ISSION MEETIlVG, JULY 9,_ 1986 PAGE 9
_..��
,--� Mr. Barna stated he could see where this couldn't be determined
_ unless it had gone to court. He questioned if the language could
remain and be re-worded, as there are some court cases that have
set a precedent.
1�. Robertson stated another point considered by the City Council was
who could erect the sign. He stated language was added to not only
permit the owner to erect a sign, but another person with the consent
of the owner.
Ms. Sherek felt you may possibly end up with persons who don�t reside
on the property putting up signs, with permission of the owner. She
felt signs could be erected by the owner of the property or tenant,
witla permission of the owner.
1�. Billings felt if you make it too restrictive, instead of prevent3ng
litigation, you may cause litigation. He felt the basic intent was a
sign could be erected by the owner or tenant, with permission of the
owner.
Mr. Billings stated he wanted to make sure there is nothing more or
less restrictive for political signs because particular signs may
fa11 in two categories.
1� . Robertson stated the code is quite specific in defining political
^ signs.
MOTION BY M[t. BARNA, SECOI�IDED BY MS. SHEREK, TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL

^ 9. DISCUSSION OF CURBSIDE RECYCLING AND S.O.R.T. PROQiAMS:
Mr. Robinson stated even though a representative of the Environmental
Quality Co�ission is not here this evening, he would ask for a
recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding the curbside
recycling program and the SORT site.
N�r. Robinson stated these proposals were presented to the Environmental
Quality Co�ission and they were in agreement.
Mr. Robinson stat,ed Mr. Beermann who operates the curbside recycling
service has requested the City increase his monthly payment. He
stated the City does not have the authority to raise this monthly
�yment without advertising for bids.
Mr. Robinson stated about 445 tons of material has been recycled over
the past year or an average of about 74,000 lbs. per month. He
stated this amounts �o approximately 4.5% of the City's residential
waste, not including apa.rtment houses.
Mr. Robinson stated the 1990 So1id Waste Abatement Plan includes
mandatory separation of materials. He stated Fridley is out in front
as far as the recycling program for the northern suburbs.
Mr. Robinson stated if it is the feeling of the Planning Co�ission
^ that the curbside recycling should continue, a recommendation should
be made to advertise for bids.
Mr. Robinson stated Mr. Beermann stated he would remain with the
program until the City finds another contractor or he is rehired.
Ms. Sherek felt some people aren't aware of the curbside recycling.
She felt they should be better informed and advised it wi11 be
mandatory in several years. She stated eventually they wouldn't have
a choice and wi11 have to separate their garbage.
Mr. Robinson stated another area of concern is the SORT recycling site.
He stated Mr. Ear1 Frank took over this site and was goiz►g to improve
it, but �i�,�s hasn't been done. Mr. Robinson stated Mr. Frank has re-
quested subsidy from the City to defray his costs.�
Mr. Robinson stated staff would like to release a request for proposal
which would aliow contractors to design the best program to meet the
City's needs. He stated Mr. Blumentahl of U-Can has indicated an
interest in operating this site and would rent it for a marginal cost.
1�. Barna stated one thing needed desperately is a place to dispose
of old tires or household appliances. I�. Robinson stated some
businesses have persons who will pick up old appliances, if you
purchase new ones from them.
� Ms. Sherek stated it is also a problem e�isposing of certain other
� wastes such as paint. Mr. Robinson stated possibly a contractor at
the SORT site may be willing several ti.mes a year to take household
hazardous. waste and dis�ose of them properly.
