MOTION BY Mtt, KONDRICK, SECONDED BY MR. BETZOLD, TO WA NE THE FORMAL READING OF THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BILLINGS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED U24ANIPiOUSLY ANp THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:37 p.m. Mr. Robinson stated the parcels involved in this rezoning are located ❑orth of Mississippi Street and west of East River Road at 6520, 6530 and 6536 East River Road. He stated there is a car wash on Tract D, a vacant building on Tract C, and a vacant lot on Tract B. He stated a11 p3rcels are presently zoned C-1 and the request for rezoning is for a C-2 designation. PLANNING COI�C�fISSION MEETING JULY 8 1987 PAGE 2 Dh�, Robinson stated both I�h�. Olchefske and Mr. Freyinger have petitioned for the rezoning. He stated Mr. Freyinger is the owner of the apartment complex to the north and wes5 Tract B and Tract C with the vacant building whith he plans to lease or sell for a restaurant operation. He stated Mr. Olchefske is the owner of the Riverside Car Wash and wishes to expand his business. Mr, Robinson stated there is also a special use permit associated with the expansion of the car wash facility to a11ow fuel and oil dispensing in a C-1 zone, He stated the special use permit, if approved, will allow the petitioner to commence construction prior to finalization of the rezoning. He stated the C-1 zone does not a11ow for auto related businesses, but the C-2 zone permits Chis type of operation with a special use permit. Ph. Robi�so� sr.ated there are some problems associated with the site, mai.nly dealing with access. He stated there is a shared access on the west of Tract D, but Tract C has no other access by itaelf. He stated there is a private easement between Tracts C and D which has been recorded and thec share a common driveway. He stated the owner of Tract C would grant an easement to Tract D for joint parking. P1r. Robinson stated staff has drafted a plan for traffic and visual improvements including landscaping and buLfer space between the businesses and the apartment complex. He sCated it is reconanended the driveway be moved five feet�nd landscaping be installed with a re- taining wall, and delineation of the driveway. Mr. Robinson stated the petitioners have both agreed to participate in the cost for these improvements. I�. Robinson stated staff is recommending the foLlowing stipulations for Tracts B and C: (1) petitioner agrees to execute a restrictive covenant agreement against Tract B and C, stating that no automotive related businesses (service, fuel dispensing, sales, or Leasing), as outlined in the special use section of the C-2 code, wi11 be per- mitted regardless of C-2 zoning status. Completed prior to publication of rezoning ordinance; (2) petitioner agrees to refurbish building incLuding trim painting and roof equipment screening prior to occu- pancy; (3) petitioner agrees to install a brick dumpster enclosure with opaque gate prior to occupancy; (4) petitioner agrees to install a pylon sign similar [o the Riverside Car Wash sign prior to occu- pancy; (5) petitioner agrees to install landscaping and automatic sprinkling, as per City plan dated 7/1/87, on Tracts B and C(except along west edge) prior to occupancy; (6) petitioner agrees to install landscape tree we1?s, plantings, and irrigation along the western edge of Tracts B, C and D, as per City plan dated 7/1/87 by October 31, 1989; (7) petitioner agrees to make parking lot/driveway improvements including curbing, blacktopping, seaLcoating and striping prios to occupancy; and (8) petitioner agrees to provide joint driveway ease- ments from Tract B to Tract C and joint driveway and parking easements from Tract C to Tract D prior to pu6lication of ordinance. PL�Ni:ING COrP]ISSION MEBTING JULY 8 1987 PAGE 3 P�. Fr�yinger stated he is the owner of the apartment complex adjacent to Tract B and would like to control development on this corner and is the reason why he is ourchasing the building on Tract C. He stated he pLans to lease this parcel and iaterest has been expressed for a pizza or submarine sandwich establishment, Mr, Freyinger stated he is witling to make all [he improvements as he would like to see the area improved. Ae stated the property as it is now is not a real pride of owner- ship and the situation is also bad for his apartment complex. Mr. Betzold asked Mr, Freyinger if he anticipated any future development for Tract B. Mr. Freyinger s[ated at one time, he considered constructi�g a tennis court for the apartment complex, however, does not believe this is a good idea, He stated, in the future, this property would probably be used for parking as it is close to the main entrance of the apartments. I�h. Olchefske stated he appreciated the efforts everyone has made to improve this corner and felt it would be a good asset for the community. He stated he has to be careful in making changes that would affect his ability to be successful in this business. Mr. Kondrick stated he wondered if there would be sufficient space if the entrance of the car wash was moved, I�. Robinson stated there appears to be enough space as it would actually be 36 feet from the end of the building to the new curbing. t�k. 0lchefske felt there should be a field test to prove cars could make the turn, if the driveway is relocated. He stated he didn't want to agree to installing the curbs before it is shown that it is physically Possible to access it, Mr. Robinson felt this could be tested before the Council meeting to make sure it is workable. Mr. Robir.son stated staff is recommending the following stipulations for Trac[ D: (1) petitioner agrees to refurbish westerly addition to car wash by adding roof equipment screening and refinishing facade (roof screening details by owner, approved by staff). Work to be completed prior to occupancy of proposed addition; (2) easterly facing overhead doors to be tan colored; (3) petitioner agrees to provide a brick dumpster enclosure with opaque gate prior to occupancy of proposed addition; (4) petitioner agrees to instail landscaping and provide automatic sprinkling as per City plan dated 7/1/87 on Tract D{except along west edge) prior to occupancy of proposed addition; (5) petitioner agrees to make parking lot/driveway im- provements including shifting of westerly drive five feet east, and new curbing, blacktopping and retaining wa11 as indicated on City plan dated 7/1/87 prior to occupancy of proposed addition. Driveway and retaining watl details by owner prior to building per- r.ti.ts; (6) petitioner agrees to close driveway off of East River Road (remove hardsurfacing and light fixture and provide landscaping) PLAN[3ING COPQfISSSON MEETING JULY 8 1987 PAGE 4 prior to occupancy of proposed addition; and (7) petitioner agrees to provide join[ driveway and planting easements from Tract D to Tract C prior to publication of rezoning ordinance. Mr. Robinson stated the County wishes to reduce the ingress and egress on East River Road, but if this isn't possible, the second preference would be for an entrance only. Mi, Kondrick stated at busy times at the car wash, people.are coming into the wash off Mississippi and if the driveway was closed on East River Road, he questioned-how they would exit. Mr. Robinson stated this ic the same concern raised bv the petitioner who feels the East River Road driveway is necessary for exiting. Mr. Kondrick stated he would be in favor of leaving the driveway open possibiy with signage to direct traffic. Mr. Billings stated if the driveaay on East River Road were an entrance only, there wouLd be a lot of congestion on the M��sissippi side with persons trying to enter.and exit. hh. Betzold asked Mr.Olchefske what he desired for ingress and egress. Pk. Olchefske stated the car wash has been at this location for approximately 20 years and he has operated it for 10 years and hasn't had any problems with the entrances or exits. He stated there has never been a mishap and it would be a severe hardship for him to change it. t�tr. Robinson stated, presently, there may not be a problem, but the proposed expansion wi11 bring the building closer to the driveway and add additional doors. He stated thcre is a p�tential problem with children leaving vehicles in the vacuuming area and could cause further problems when the restaurant facility becomes oper- ational. Mr. Phelps, 5755 Washington Street, wondered if the parking for the restaurant could be placed on Tract B to provide additional space for the car wash site. I�h�. Robinson stated two property owners are involved and two separate tax parcels so it would be up to the owners. He stated Mr. Frevin�er is granting parking easements for the car wash there is onl�� a small unimproved area �f the car wash site where possibly four cars could park. Mr. Olchefske stated if a driveway is removed, it makes it more difficult to access his business and inconvenient for customers. He stated studies have proved that access should be as simple as possible so as not to create a hardship for his business. PLANNING COMPff5SI0N MEETING NLY 8 1987 PAGE S Mr. Billings stated he didn't want to imply he was necessarily in favor of closing the driveway. He stated, however, he wondered if there was sufficient stacking room for cars exiting the car wash and waiting to enter on East River Road. rfr . Kondrick stated he felt this really isn't a problem as there is no backup of cars leaving the car wash. Mr. $illings asked Mr. Olchefske his plans for the new additfon. Mr.Olcbefske stated he would be extending the tunnel approximately 22 feet and adding a polishing and buffing center. AL�. $illings asked if customers would make apPointmen[s for these services. Mr.Olchefske stated if you were going to have the interior of your car shampooed, an appointment would be necessary. He stated as far as the poLishing, this could possibly be done without an appointment, if it was not a busy day. Mr. Kondrick asked ifthe polishing and buffing center would be a separa[e room. Mr. Olchefske �tated he wanted people to see this area so there would be visual exposure. Mr. Robinson stated while there may be other options such as Providing an exit farther north on Tract B he fel.t if the driveway . on East River Road is not closed, it should be an exit only. Mr. Olehefske stated he wanted to continue to be competitive in his business and if this is what the City desires, he could live with it. I�. Billings stated if the Co�mnission recoaunended an exit only on East River Road, he questioned if there would be signage to direct the patrons. Mr. Robinson stated it is probably a good idea to mark the one drive on Mississippi as entrance and the exit on East River Road as exit only. Pff. Betzold stated possibly the access situation should be reviewed at a Later date to see if it is working both from the petitioner's and the City's standpoint. Mr. Robinson stated if the Commission wished to review the access at a future date, stipulation No. 6 for Riverside Car Wash should be deleted from the rezoning stipulations and included as a stipulation of the special use permit which is reviewable.

He stated in staff's final inspections, they are advising landowners they are responsible for the tenan['s use of the building. Mr. Billings stated some of the surrounding municipalities are looking seriously at this situation and perhaps staff could investigate who is considering an ordinance and what language it contains.

The public purpose served by this requirement is to provide for acic��,:ate Farkina, opEn la�dscaped areas, and to litr,it conoestion of industri�l areas. Section 205.17.3, D, 2b, ra�uires two side yards, each with a width of not less than fif teen feet except: where a side yard abuts a street of a wrner lot, the side yard re3uirenent increases to a minimiun of 35 teet. Public purpose sezved b,� this re3uirenent is to provide adequate open space areas around industrial structures for aesthetic and fire fighting purposes. Section 205.17.5, D, 4c, requires that the edge of the driveway curb opening shall not Ge closer to the nearest portion of a street rioht-of-way intersection than 75 feet or 2/3 of the lot width, whichever is snaller. Section 205.17.5, D, Sa, ra;uires that all parking and hard surface areas shall be no closer than 20 feet fcom any street right-of-wa�. Public purpose served b� these requirements is to reduce visual pollution and to se�rate g3rking witii landscaped areas. B. S'i'ATID HARDSHIP: 1. Zhe oross lot size of the site in question is 0.54 acres. Zoning ra;uires 0.75 acres. The site is entirely land locked so no further land acquisition is Fossihle. At present the eastern 33 feet and southern 33 feet of the lot are dedicated for the existing coad easer,�ents. 2. Due to tlthe easement of 33 feet on the east side of the lot, we are only able to achicve a 12 foot tuilding on the east and a 28 foot setback on the west rather than the requized 35 foot building - settx�ck. " 3. Presently there are curb cuts located at the north end (73 1/2 Avenue) and south end (73rd Avenue) of the site. tie propose to: A. Rzlocate the north end curb cut further east (away for Hwy 65) and narraa it down to 22 feet. This would sezve one wa� traffic exiting the site. 1K Iten #1, 7315 E#.y. 65 July 14, 1987 Page 2 B. Close the south end (73rd Avenue) curb cut and driveway and install green sg3ce in its place. C. Install a nc�r curb cvt and driveway on the east end starting approximately 35 feet north of the south lot corner (see site glan). 4. Pgair., due to the 33 foot street ease�nent on the east side of the property, we ace only able to achieve a 12 foot paving/hard surfaces setback on the east a 15 foot sett�ack on the south and a 10 foot setback on the west rather than the ra3uired 20 feet. C. ADMINLSiiil�'NE SPAFF RDJg3d: Rapid Oil has desicy�ed a site glan which prw ides a reasonable solution to the redevelognent of a non-conforming site. The proposal is to renwe the existing building and reoonstruct a f our bay brick f acade service station with nir�e parking stalls and �ngle landscaping. In oonj�mctiun with the proposal a special use pennit for an autcmotive �rvic� station in h}-1 and a petition to vacate the 66 foot right of wa� (73 1/2 Avenue) north of the property are also being processed. Apprwal of the sFeci�l use permit and variances are necessary before oonstruction. 72�e vacation is not essential prior to construction prwicied that one additional variance, building setback (from 73 1/2 Avenue) fcan 35 feet to 21 feet, is apprwed. Fapid Rapid Oil's desire is to open for business in September, which precludes waiting for completion of the vacation prior to construction. Therefore the adnitional variance will be heard at the July 28 Appenls meeting. Stipulations for tuilding and site quality will be discussed with the special use pezmit. �'�' 64�1 UNIVEl181TY AVl.

CONSIUERATIO�J OF LOU LUtIDGREtJ'S LETTER OF CREDIT: Mr. Robertson stated that in the a9enda packet handed out at the meetino oias a letter from Mr. Lundgren stating he would be present at tliis meeting and would give the HRA a progress report on the financing of the Fridley Plaza Project. Mr. Lundgren stated the bad news was that he fias not been able to bring a firm commitment for financing, but the good news was that he was in the process of hopefully finalizing arrangements for financing through a tax exempt bond for both the first and second phases simultaneously. He stated since he did not have a deal committed at this time, he could not divulqe the names, but would tell Staff as soon as it was possible, honefully by the following week. 11r. Lundgren stated that regarding the situation with lJinfield Development, he had made an offer and had tried to 9et in touch with them several tiMes, but they have not returned his telephone calls. He had no idea at this time the status of this situation. HOUSING & REDEVELOPPIE��T AUTHORITY MEETIN6, JUpE 11, 1987 PAGE � Mr. Lundgren stated he also still had the two previous offers in ter�s of the financing on a conventional basis. One was through Steinberg Financial Co., and one was through Rothschild Financial Corp. Both are dependent upon some additional credit on the firmness of the project. Mr. �leyer stated that at the last meeting, Mr. Lundgren had given the HRA the changes recorunended by the Maxfield Research group in terms of the numbers of units, rearranging the mix, etc. lJere these changes incorporated in the preliminary plans that are presented to new potential mortgagers? Mr. Lundgren stated, yes, all the numbers and figures recommended by the Maxfield Research group were in the oreliminary plans presented to all potential mortgagers. �4r. Commers stated that at the last meeting, Mr. Lundgren had suggested a July 1 date for starting construction. Mr. Lundgren stated that starting construction on July 1 was virtually impos- sible at this time, but starting construction in July o-�as not impossible. Ms. Schnabel stated that while the noney market was very positive right now, the rental market was very soft, and there did not seem to be a lot of incentives for the renter. ��r. Lundgren stated tliere were a lot of things coming on the market this year, and it was true that in terms of trying to 9et the renter, there was a war on incentives, etc. 6ut, there �+ere still areas where buildinqs were being constructed and buildings were being rented. He stated the lenders were going to be lo�king for a study such as the I�axfield Research group study or so�e- thing like that, and the Plaxfield study was a very positive study. He thought that wl�en Mr. Plaxfield was at the meeting, he had said if this building was in some ottier location, he might not be so positive, because there is over- building in other locations in the metropolitan area. �4s. Schnabel stated she found herself wearing doom a little bit. They have been going on for almost a year no4i with no firm financial person in the picture. Mr. Lundgren stated it was not an easy job, and it was a time-consuming job. He stated that in this kind of business, you just have to keep going and continue to have some optimism, Mr. Commers asked if Staff's recommendation was still the same as that expressed at the last meeting. Mr. Qureshi stated he did want to alert Mr. Lundgren that there are contaat�crrbeing made by other parties interested in this site, and City Staff was pursuing all possible contacts. 4Jhoever comes first, either Mr. Lundgren or another developer, with a reasonable financially backed development agreement will develop the property. ; HOUSIilG & RE�EVELOPt1ENT AUTHORITY t4EETIp6, JUNE 11 , 1987 PA6E 3 t4r. Commers asked Mr. Lundgren if he understood what �4r. Qureshi Had said. Mr. Lundgren stated he has always understood that. Mr. Commers stated that, hearing no motions, the item would remain on the table. He would continue to caution Mr. Lundgren that the end 4�tas inevitable, and he hoped P•1r. Lundgren would be able to do something before that happened. 2. LAY.E POINTE STATUS REPORT: a. Consideration of Sunde Engineering Staking and Inspection Change Orders 14r. (2obertson stated that in the agenda o�as a memo dated April 24, 1987, from tlark Burch to himself regarding Change Order No. 1 to Sunde Engineering Contract for Engineering Services on Lake Pointe Development. Attached to the memo was Itr. Sunde's break-outs and estimates. Mr. Flora had spoken to Mr. Sunde earlier that day and had asked him to attend the meeting to answer zny questions the HRA might have. �4r. Commers asked if there were other charges being made by Sunde Engi- neering as a result of appearances by Sunde Engineering at the Enebak Arbitration matter. �4r. Sunde stated, yes, those charges were billed separately. P1r. Commers asked at what capacity did people from Sunde Engineering appe+�r at the arbitration. Did the City retain them to appear as �•rit- nesses or experts on behalf of the HRA? Mr. IJe��man stated Sunde Engineering had worked very closely with Mr. Herrick in preparing the HRA's presentation and also testified on behalf of the IiRA. Mr. Commers stated that regarding Change Order No. 1, they were talking about another $2,300 for the inspection part of the contract and $5,200 for the staking part of the contract. He asked if �1r. Flora and Mr. Durch had reviewed this and approved it? Mr. Robertson stated that was correct. f1r. 14eyer stated that, as he understood it, the original contract a�as based on an estimate and was not intended as a lump sum. Mr. Sunde stated that was correct. They normally try to estimate before construction. In the spring, they tried to estimate again what it would cost to finish the project. M,OTION BY MR.

Consideration of Lot Combination for Hathaway Lane Realignmenf Mr. Robertson stated this was in connection with the redesign of the intersection at T.H. 65/Lake Pointe Drive/Old Central/Hathaway. He stated the corner lot has been acquired, and they are noa� at the point where they are finalizing the transactions. Memo Ptd87-172 from Mr. Flora dated June 5, 1987, referred to 2,938 sq, ft. from Lot 4 that is attached to Lot 3 a�d 154 sq. ft. also from Lot 6 that is going to be attached to Lot 3 in order that the existing driveway to Old Central is closed and the n�w driveway will be built off liackmann. It was Staff's recorrmenda- tion that the HRA approve the lot split and combination action and the property purchases so it can be executed and processed through the City Council. 14r. Robertson stated that at the last meeting, he had informed the HRA the Staff had made an offer to UNOCAL for the road easement, and the HRA authorized Staff to proceed. He stated two days ago, they received the agreement from UNOCAL and a copy had been given to the NRA members at this meeting. MOTION BY MS. SCHNABEL� SECONDED BY MR.

Mr. Newman stated no award has been made at this time. Mr. Robertson stated that in the agenda packet handed out at the meeting was a memo from t1r. Herrick dated June 11, 1987, which gave a more detailed report of the arbitration between the City of Fridley and Enebak Construc- tion Co. Mr. Robertson stated that also received at the meeting were two memos from John Flora dated June 10, 1987. One was to ',r. Herrick on the subject of a"Sunde P1eeting - Enebak Construction". As a result of a meeting with Mr. Herrick on the previous Friday, Mr. Herrick directed Staff to meet with Mr. Sunde to consider any ways that the contract or changes by Enebak could be modified to reduce any costs at this point. Mr. Herrick had directed Staff to consider Items 1- 7 in Mr. Flora's memo. Mr. Robertson stated that as outlined in the second para�raph of the June lOth memo from Mr. Flora to t4r. Herrick, Staff had -ooKed at various alternatives for the earthwork in the area known as Pad i+, in the north- HOUSING & REDEUELOPIIENT AUTHORITY t4EETI��G, JUPIE 11 , 1987 PAC,E 5 eastern-most corner of the site. That was the part that has not been started that was the most ambiguous in terms of the original docur.ient, and the recommendation from Public Works after meeting with Mr. Sunde was to go ahead and construct Pad A to a revised equalized area. A revision was necessary to conform to the final alignment of the access road and the area and location of the turnback property from T.N. 65. 1�1r. Commers asked what was meant by "revised equalized area. Mr. Sunde stated they tried to look at a similar shape of buildinq pad as was in the original contract that would accommodate r�ore of a general building shape than the unique shape that 4loodbridge had in their original layout, but it was also the tvpe of layout that would require the same work effort for the contractor. t9s. Schnabel stated that she knew the attorneys were trying to protect tfie City's interest and the NRA's interest, but if they are also into the contracting business, that was where she got a little nervous. Who was really in control? Mr. Newman stated City Staff and IiRA 5taff were in control. In a letter from Mr. 0'Keefe to 11r. Haik dated June 5, 1987, �4r. 0'Keefe was objectinq that tlie contractors on site have been instructed not to communicate with 14r. Ideir and to receive direction only from City Staff or representa- tives of City Staff. Ms. Schnabel stated that if 4loodbridge should pull out of the project and a new developer cane in, by putting in the pads, was the City committed to these buildings in these locations? Mr. Qureshi stated there was some commitment to the locations, however, plans for the buildings and locations could always be modified somewhat. �1s. Schnabel asked if the layout of these particular buildings in these particular areas was laid out in positions that were most satisfactory fror� a planning standpoint. t4r. Qureshi stated this was the logical layout as anticipated by lJood- bridge. However, even though they are spending money for soil correction, there was still the possibility of some modifications to the layout in the future. ��r. I1eyer stated they have to face the fact that if the l•loodbridge deal falls through and they get another developer, it would be highly coincidental if these pads could be used fully. The work was not necessarily wasted or negated completely, but a new developer would have to have new pads or extensions of pads. Mr. ��ewMan stated another thing to kee� in mind was that most of the work on the building pads was completed before this impasse occurred. It was his understanding that the only building pad they have any flexi6ility on is Building Pad A. HOUSI116 & REDEVELOPttEIJT AUTHORITY MEETI�IG, JUNE ii, i987 PAGE 6 d. Change Order I�o. 2 to the Enebak Construction Contract Mr. Robertson stated in Mr. Flora's letter dated June 10, 1987 (Pt487-184), Mr. Flora had stated that with the excavation of the ldoodbridge Drive right-of-way, it became known that there was a section within the road between stations 1500 and 2200 that there were poor soils to support the roadway design. Enebak Construction had indicated it would cost $12,000 to correc t the soil in that area. t1r. 1leyer asked if this poor soil was found during the course of the preliminary excavation. Mr. Sunde stated the poor soil was found during the course of cutting into the north road--in the northeast corner of the road. Mr. t1eyer stated that if a boring had been done in this area, wouldn't that potentially have identified the poor soil? If that was true, was this an area that Enebak should have been aware of in their original contract? ��r. Sunde stated that had been discussed. It had also been discussed whetiier or not a change order should be drafted, but it was the general feeling that tliis was a condition that was not anticipated at that time. Borings were spread out about every 100-150 ft. on center over the site. h1r. tleyer stated it seemed tliere might have been a boring or two in this road area. Wliatever the HRA decided to do with the change order ��as secondary, but he o+ould like to i:now if there were any borings done in this particular area. Tfiere was a potential $200,000 suit against the City, and now Enebak was asking for an additional $]2,000 chanqe order in a 700 ft. stretch of land with borings 100-150 ft. on center each v�ay, and poor soil wasn't found and bid with the original contract? He felt 512,000 was quite a hi9h sum of money, and he felt it was something that should be looked into. MOTION BY MS.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SVANDA DECLARED THE MO"LION CARRIED UNAKIMOUSLY. 1. Discussion on Curbside Recycling Contract Renewal Ms. kicklacz stated that the contract with Super Cycle is up at the end of June. She met with John Luoma of Super Cycle on June 1, i987, and June 10, 1987, to discuss new terms for the contract. Ms. Wicklacz said that John was in favor of twice a month collection for each resident. In order to have twice a month collection, the areas would need to be changed. She has proposed to divide the City into two areas at Mississippi Street. The north half of the City would have recycleables collected on the lst and 3rd Fridays of the month, and the south nalf of the City would have recycleables collected on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month. Ms. Wicklacz said that this would be satisfactory for Mr. Luoma and Super Cycle. Ms. Wicklacz mentioned, however, that the City would require the month of July to publicize the change; therefore, the contracted plan would remain the same until August 1, 1987. Ms. Wicklacz stated that Mr. Luoma has agreed upon a payment rate with a monthly base price of $1,400, up to and including 40 tons, and $35 for every additional ton over 40 for twice-a-month collection. Ms. Wicklacz stated that formerly the contract between the City and Super Cycle for once a month collection consisted of a monthly base rate of $1,500 for up to and including 50 tons and $40 for every ton collectea over 50 tons. Eh1'IRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION MEETING, JUFE t6, 1987 PAGE Z Ms. Wicklacz also mentioned that the Fridley residents will receive more service at a reduced cost to the City under the new contract. Ms. Wicklacz stated that the City Council approved this chanKe at the June 15, 1987, Council meeting. Mt. Svanda asked if othet cities were doing twice a month collection; and if so, what are their terms and how many tons are collected. Ms. Wicklacz said that the terms of the Citv's contract are consistent with that of St. Louis Park, Plymouth and D�inneapolis; and that these cities have experienced a higher than average participation and tonna�e rate in curbside recycling,� imazily due to twice a month collection. Mr. Nielson felt that this change would apparently change the outlook of the curbside recycling program. �, �ielson wondered if, in addition to twice a month collection, Super Gycle would be interested in collecting recycleable materials at multiple dwelling unit, because in his apartments he sees a lot of recycleable materials go into the dumpster. � Ms. Uicklacz said that this issue was favorably discussed with Mr- Luoma, and that he uas doing a pilot multiple unit building in St. Louis �rk of 100 units. Ms. H'icklacz stated that Super Cycle even provided the barrels which were painted yellow and red, had lids and had Super Cycle's name, and the name for each material painted on the barrels. She said that 3 barrels were placed adjacent to the dumpsters, and that Super Cycle emptied the barrels once a week. Ms. Wicklacz said if they chose to provide this program, that they mignt start with Village Green because these residents are currently recycling newspaper, and that it would be an easy and logical transition. 2. Discussion on Publicity for Recycling Ms. Wicklacz mentioned that she aill be doing a big informaiion/education blitz for the "NEW and IMPROVED" curbside recyclin� program. This flood of information will consist of the direct mailing of a flyer, articles in the Fridley Focus, Newsletter and Minneapolis Star and Tribune, Cable TV broadcast and posters in neighborhood stores. Mr. Wellan asked if the Boy Scouts or City summer help could hand deliver flyers to residents as Super Cycle goes around collecting. Ms. Wicklacz mentioned that this was an item she and N,r. Luoma discussed, but that Super Cycle would be interested in having an employee of tneirs do it at a small cost to the City. MOTION by Mr. Wellan, seconded by Mr. Nielson, to authorize the tiistribution of flyers with the "NEW and IMPROVED" recycling theme, door-to-door during the three recycling days in July by an employee of Super Cyc1e or the City of Fridley, and that the City be authorized to reimburse these employees at a rate not to exceed $900 for the month. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COP1PfISSION MEETING, 1UNE 16, 1987 YAGE 3 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SVANDA DECLAREll THE MOTIUN CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Wicklacz said she would start work on a new logo, new reminder si�ns and the flyer immediately. 3. Update on U-Can/S.O.R.T. Site Ms. Wicklacz. said there was not much to report. The site is holding its own, and they collect about 12,000+ pounds or 6 tons of materials per month. That only includes those materials they get money for. Some of their materials are given to MERC and some to MSD (Minnesota Soft Drink). Mr. Nielson asked how composting was going. Ms. Wicklacz said they have got a good sized pile, but from now on they'll be getting �osSly grass. Also, that they were supplied with a hose to water the pile, and the Public Works IDepartment turns the pile often. 4. Ideas for Recruiting EQC Members Mr. Svanda suggested writing a letter to civic organizations to tiave their chairperson inform the members of the openings. The EQC felt that would be a good start. Mr. Wellan suggested a line or two in the mailing that's �oin� out. Ms. Wicklacz agreed these were both good ideas. 5. Other Business a. Moore Lake and New Development Mr. Svanda requested information about the effects of the new develop- ment on Moore Lake and all improvements made to it. Ms. Wicklacz stated there was a residential meeting going on in the Council Chambers about that very subject and other concerns. She said that Jim Robinson and developers were heading up the meeting. b. Household Hazardous Waste Program Mr. Svanda handed out a memo from Ms. Susan Ridgley of the MYCA about City involvement in the new permanent household hazardous waste program. He 6riefly went over its contents and requested that staff and the EQC members read it prior to the next meeting. ADJOURNMENT MOTION by Mr. Nielson, seconded by Mr. Wellan, to adjourn the meetin�.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERUED BY REQUIREMENT: � Section 205.17.03, A, 1, requizes a lot area of not Less than .75 acres for one main building on plats recorded before January 1, 1983. The public purpose served by this requiremenG is to provide for adequate parking, open landscaped areas, and to limit congestion of industrial areas. Section 205.17.3, D, 2b, of not less than fifteen street of a corner 1ot, minimum of 35 feet. Public purpose served by open space areas around fire fighting purposes. requires two side yards, each with a width feet except: where a side yard abuts a the side yard requirement increases to a this requirement is to provide adequate industrial structures for aesthetic and Section 205.17.5, D, 4c, requires that the edge of the driveway curb opening sha11 not be closer to the nearest portion of a street right-of-way intersection tha❑ 75 feet or 2/3 of the lot width, whichever is smaller. Section 205.16.5, D, Sa, requires that a11 parking and hard surface areas shall be no closer than 20 feet from any street right-of-way. Public purpose served by these requireme�ts is to reduce visual pollution and to separate parking with landscaped areas. STATED HARDSHTP: 1. The gross Lot size of Che site in question is 0.54 acres. Zoning requires 0.75 acres. The site is entirely landlocked � APPEALS COMPIISSION PIEETING JULY 14 1987 PAGE 3 so no further land acquisition is possible. At present the eastern 33 feet and southern 33 feet of the lot are dedicated for the existing road easements. 2. Due to the easement of 33 feet on the east side of the 1ot, we are only able to achieve a 12 foot building on the east and a 28 foot setback on the west rather than the required 35 foot building setback. 3. Presently thece are curb cuts located at the north end (73-L/2 Avenue) and south end (73rd Avenue) of the site. We prcpose to: A, Relocate the north end curb cut further east (away from Highway 65) and narrow it down to 22 feet. This would serve one way traffic exi[ing the site. B. Close the south end (73rd Avenue) curb cut and driveway and install green space in its place. C. Install a new curb cut and driveway on the east end start- ing approxima[ely 35 fee[ north of the south lot corner (see site plan). 4. Again, due to the 33 foot street easement on the east side of the property, we are only able to achieve a 12 foot paving/ hard surfaces setback on the east, a 15 foot setback on the south, and a 10 foo[ setback on the west rather than the required 20 feet. C. ADDIINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Rapid Oil has designed a site plan which provides a reasonable solution to the redevelopment of a non-conforming site. The proposal is to remove the existing building and reconstruct a four bay brick facade service station with nine parking stalls and ample landscaping. In conjunction with the proposal a special use permit for an auto- rzrotive service station in M-1 and a petition to vacate the 66 foot right-of-way (73-1/2 Avenue) north of the property are aLso being processed. Approval of the special use permit and variances are necessary before construction. The vacation is not essential prior to construction provided that one additional variance, building setback (from 73-1/2 Avenue) from 35 feet to 21 feet, is approved. Rapid Oil's desire is to open for business in September, which precludes waiting for completion of the vacation prior to con- struction. Therefore, the additional variance will be heard at the July 28 Appeals meeting. Stipulations for building and site quality wi11 be discussed with the special use permit. APPFALS COPL�fISSION MEETING NLY 14 1987 PAGE 4 rfr. C1ark stated these variances are for property located at Highway 65 and 73rd Avenue. He stated a number of variances are requested regarding the lot area, side yard setbacks, curb opening distances, and �a:rking and hard sucface setbacks. Pfr. C1ark stated in conjunction with this variance request, a special use permit has been filed and a petition to vacate the 66 foot right-of-way (73-1/2 Avenue) north of the property. He stated if, and when, 73-L!2 Avenue is vacated, this property line would move north to the center of 73-1/2 Avenue and the additional variance, to be heard at the JuLy 28 Appeals Cormnission meeting, would ttot be necessary. He stated this variance would provide a building setback from 73-1/2 Avenue from 35 feet to 21 feet, if it is necessary and the vacation is not approved. Mr. CLark stated there is a plot plan 6efore the Commission and the peCitioner has building plans for the Commission's review. He stated the intended use of this site is for a Rapid Oil Change facility with four bays. He stated no gasoline would be dispensed at this site. Mr. Clark stated the lot is not buildable without any variances and felt Rapid Oi1's facility provides a reasonable solutio❑ to the redevelopment of a non-conforming site. Pk. Mark Gilbertson, representing Rapid Oil Change, stated the pro- posed site plan takes into consideration the vacation of 73-1/2 Avenue. He presented another site plan which rearranges the parking and conforms with the variances requested this evening. Nh�.

He stated they wished to serve the customers as a drive-through service and they really never have to get out of their cars.

He stated there isn't any way to build wi[hout variances and felt it was a hardship. Mr. Barna felt this would be a great improvement over businesses that occupied this corner in the past. He stated the lot would be un- buildable without the variances and, therefore, he would have no objections. . Ms. Sherek stated the site is certainly an eyesore now and is thrilled with these plans. She stated she felb Ehe landscaping being provided would make it an attractive site. Mr. Betzold felt the choice was to either have nothing on the 1ot or grant variances.

Where a parking sta11 abuts a curb or sidewalk the Length may be reduced to 18 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide adequate room betwean large vehicLes. Section 205.17.5, D, Sa, requires that a11 parking and hard surface areas be no closer than 20 feet from any street right-of-way. PubLic purpose served by this requirement is to limit visual encroachment and avoid congestion. B. STATED HARDSHZP: We are unable to meet the code required parking. We wish to a11ow. 9 foot by 20 foot stalls tn preserve as much landscaping as possible. An excessive amount of property was consumed by the right-of-way, 4PPEALS CO?�L�fISSION MEETING NLY 14 1987 PAGE 7 C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: This property is located north of Interstate 694 and east of East River Road, The petitioners are proposing to add on to their existing building. This will require that additional parking stalls be provided. Due to the size and layout of the site, the total number of parking stalls required, with the new addition, cannot be reached at a stall width of ten feet as required by Code. This parking requirement can be reached if nine foot wide stalls are approved. The petitioner is also requesting a variance to reduce the parking 1ot setbact ";om the Interstate b94 right-of-way from twenty feet tu ten fe o allow for an adequate parking aisle. If the C �ion recommends approval of these variances, staff reco�nec�. st Ghe petitioner work with staff on a water line assessme reement. t�. Clark sta amaur, Inc. has requested these variances as they are adding to '. s existing building and wi11 require additional parking stalis. � site plan was presented showing the proposed parking areas. Mr. CLark stated Lamaur could meet the requirement of 10 foot wide parking stalls, however, this would reduce the amount of green area, Pir. Edwards, representing Lamaur, Inc., stated they did a study of their facility to determine how much expansion could be accomplished at the existing site. He stated a11 their facilities are Located in Fridley and the main objective was to maximum the use of the land. He stated Lamaur contracted with the Opus Corporation to construct additional office and warehouse space. Mr. Hunt, Opus Corporation, presented the plans for the addition and landscaping. He stated he realizes the variance request to reduce the width of the parking stalls is more controversial than the variance to reduce the setback, hfr . Hunt stated the right-of-way along the I-694 ramp is somewhat irregular and understands that some of this Land may be returned to Lamaur. He stated the curb line wi11 be ten feet from the fence which is approximately ten feet from the property line, however, the vehicles wi11 o�zerhang.the curb by two feet. He stated land- scaping will be provided to conceal the parking as much as possible. He stated if they cannot come within ten feet of the property 1ine, parking for 25 to 30 cars would be 1ost. He stated that parking would have to be provided elsewhere and would reduce the green area. Mr. Hunt stated the distance between the I-694 ramp and right-of-way is approximately 100 feet and no sidewalks or easements are required in this area, He stated, currently, there are trees and plantings which now conceal the parking. APPEALS COP�fISSION MEETING JULY 14 1987 PAgE 8 Pfr . Hunt stated Lamaur's site ❑ow provides 492 parking stalls at ten foot widths, however, with the addition, [he code requires 545 spaces. He stated the parking requirements can be met, but some oE the green area would have to be eliminated. He stated if nine foot stalLs are provided, there would be more green area, Mr. Betzold asked if there was any thought given to designating certain areas for compact vehicles only and Leaving some ten foot staLls. Mr. Hunt stated even if they had an area designated for compact vehicles only, a variance is sti11 nec� ed and they prefer to make the parking uniform with nine foo[ stalls. Mr. Barna asked if Lamaur has a large number of temporary employees. t•h. Edwards stated 85% to 90% of their employees are permanent, fu11- time, but during their peak season, [hey have a large number of temporary employees. He stated they are sometimes brought in by bus or van. Mr. Barna asked how many persons would be employed with the expansion. Mr. Edwards stated about 550 persons and it is conceivable some of these would be part-time in the peak season. He stated their pLan is for every employee to have a parking space. Ms. S�vage asked if visitor parking was provided. Mr. Edwards stated 18 stalls are allocated for visitor parking and would be adequate for their needs. Ms. Savage asked if the handicapped spaces would be wider. Mr. Hunt stated those stalls are 12 feet wide and wi11 meet the code require- ments. Mr. Heppelman, Traffic Engineer with BRW, Inc., presented some parking standards for various types of uses and code requirements of neighboring communities. He stated Lamaur's parking is an office/industrial use where people park for a long period of time and parking turnover is low. rfr. Heppelman stated in standards recommended b; the Institute of Trans^ portation Engineers, the National Parking Association, the Highway Research Board, the Eno Foundation and Urban Land Institute, the sta11 widths ranged from 7,5 to 10 feet, depPading on the use, size of the vehicles, and the turnover. He noted in businesses with a high turnover such as fast food establishments and supermarkets, a sta11 width of 9 Lo 10 feet was recommended. He stated in office/industrial parking and employee parking, the recoamended sta11 width was 8 to 8.5 feet. APPEALS COD�tISSION MEETING JULY 14 1987 PAGE 9 Mr. Heppelman stated the parking code requirements for neighboring co�nunities ranged from 7.5 to 9 feet, depending on the use and size of the vehicles. He stated in any case, the requirements are no greater than 9 feet and in some cases, lower than 8.5 feet. Mr. Heppelman stated the hardship is that an office/industrial land use in Fridley, requires a 10 foot sta11 and exceeds the industry standards and code requirements of surrounding cowrunities. . Mr. BetzoLd stated i❑ winter, when the snow falls, people leave more space between vehicles, but there sti11 are the same number of employees using the parking. He aLso stated in the summer months, a lot of people are concerned about their vehicles getting dented because the.parking sta11 widths_are not adequate. P�. Heppelman felt if there was no striping in an emoloyee oarking 1ot, most people wouLd stay within a pine foot width because if vehicles are too far apart, someone wi11 try to park i❑ between. Mr. Betzold stated he would question how [he industry standards apply in the winter and didn't believe anyone ever studied it, He felt people create larger spaces than normal during this season. Pfr. Heppelman stated they have considered this question in determining parking standards for shopping centers. Ae stated it is estimated about 10% of the parking is lost when the striping isn't visible. He stated, for example, Rosedale Shopping Center has striped for 8.5 foot widths for angle parking. htr, Barna stated it has been his experience that striping the •parking staLls doesn't mean anything and people wi11 park where they want. P�. Barna asked if Lamaur had considered any rooftop parking. Mr. Edwards stated this was their first option, but costs were incredible at about $3,000 per parking space. He stated this cost.would be more than their addition. Mr, Barna stated he would like companies to encourage rideshare and save the green areas, instead of coveri�g the site with parking.

Barna stated with the proposed changes to I-694 and the ramp, he didn't know how much closer traffic would come to Lamaur's facility. He stated the ones most affected would be those persons located in the southwest corner of Lamaur's building. Mr. Betzold stated he is aware there are some modifications to I-694 and should be brought to the Council's attention, but felt the Commission has to act on the information now before them. Pfr. Barna stated it probably really didn't make any difference if Lamaur was within 75 or 100 feet of the I-694 ramp and felt there was sufficient space, even if the road is widened. r10TI0N BY MR, BARNA, SECONDED BY INS.

It was the feeling af the Commission that the Council should check on any ramifications the I-694 widening may have on this particular variance request, Ms. Savage stated, in regard to the variaoce to reduce the width of the parking stalls, she felt it is time the City seriously considered changing the requirement from 10 to 9 feet. She stated the ramps at the Anoka County Courthouse, where she parks everyday, are S.5 feet wide and have never posed any problem. Ms. Savage stated as far as this particular variance, she would rather have the green space and reduce the parking stall width. D1s. Savage felt Lamaur should be commended for their plan to increase the green area and landscaping as it is needed in that particular area, She stated she doesn'�t see any problems with the nine foot stalls in this type of employee parking. Mr. Sherek stated he would be in favor of the variance. He stated he felt the hardship is for the community, if the green areas were to be eliminated. Ae stated he doesn't have a problem with the nine foot staLls. Mr, Barna stated if the nine foot stalls are needed, he would have no objection. He felt the green areas were important and wouLd be nice if companies could encourage rideshare or other means of transportation in order to keep the landscaped areas. APPEALS CO�L�ISSION MEETING JULY 14 1987 PAGE 11 t�. Vos stated it would be more of a hardship to remove some of the gree❑ area than to grant the variance for the nine foot wide stalls. Mr. Betzold felt if the Council approves this variance, there will be many requests for nine foot stalls, and an ordinance change may be necessary. He stated most of the requests in the past have been to reduce the parking width in order to construct a larger building. He stated, in this case, it is to provide more green area and less blacktop. He felt with nine foot stalls, people may compiain they are getting dents in their doors which is something Lamaur wouLd have to deal with. r�. Barna stated since this is a parking 1ot for employees only, everyone wi11 be aware of the parking sta11 size. Mr, BaLna sta[ed some of the code requirements are to enhance green areas and reduce visual pollution and felt the variance would accom- plish these items. MbTION BY M[t, &1RNA, SECONDED BY MS.
