CARR�D U1�JSLY, ADID THE PU�LIC HEARIl�G OPENID AT 7: 35 P. NL
Mr. R�binson statecl this property was located at 6400 Ceritral Ave. , �vest of
Central Ave. , a,nd south of Ndississi�i St. It was the previous Mi�west Van
& Storaqe property. The new owner proposes to tise the property for an
insuranc� re�xiir busir�ess including repair to damaged homes due to fire,
storm d�nage, eta Most of the repairs are done off the preaises.
Mr. Robinson stated one special use permit was for attendant pc>rtions of the
^ business which include retail sales of mobile home and RV parts (also
-1-
• __;��l�� ��_ ����iu� _,_�_ � � W?�?�� .�:_ v��_�iN.± •
n relate� to the irasurance busir�ess) and for a wholesale carpet busi�ess. The
other special use permit was for outsio� storage (a possible fiature use) for
the possib,le sale of c�npers within the storage areas.
Mr. Robir�on statec� the property was zoned M-1 (light industrial) and abuts
R- 2(residentia].) on the west, C-2 (general o�mmercial) on the north, and
CR-1 (office%r�nercial) on the south. Both a.mmecliate properties to the
r�rth and south are vacant.
Mr. Robinson stated that in wnjunction with the petition, staff has workec�
on a site glan improvenent to bring the property into compl iance with the
Zoning Code. Staff was proposing to redesi� the parking lot so there is
sufficierit setback fra�n right-of-way for glanting.s to screen the parking lot
ancl also additional ca�een spaoe on the seouth ancl north of the parking lot
anal in front � the building. A new deo�rative fence would be placed along
the eastern enc7 of the storac�ee yard, and the other fence that was on the
south and west would need refurbishing. Screening would be �aaea where
possible. NJini,mtun screening would be like vine treatments. The overall
appearanc�e of the property �uld then be quite an improvement over what is
there today.
N1r. Robinson �ated that in adclition to the site work, Mr. Ritterman has
devised a plan he is proposing to take to the HRA. Tliis area is in a
redevelopnerit district. Pa�t of the plan is for additional offioe space in
the foun of a solariiun an the sec�nd floor which woula extend out over a
^ aovered walkway. Also, the wl�le front of the building woul� be stuccoed
ancl there would be detailing to add some reaesses to the Luilding anc3 shadow
lines, anol tr�tment to the south edge of the building. New windows woulcl
be �led anol some additional green space.
Mr. Robin�n skatec7 they were hoping there woulcl be some major improvements
to the property, both in appearance and manac,�ement.
Mr. Robinson stated staff was rewirunending the follawing stipulations:
1. Redesi� parking lot with wncrete curb and gutter, striping ancl
setbacks as indicatecl in City plan c�ated January 26, 1988.
2. Install autoqnatic sprinkling, berming, and landscapirag as indicated
on City plan dated January 26, 1988.
3. Install deQOrative f�oe along east of storac,�e yard as indicated on
City plan dated Jarivary 26, 1988.
4. Refurbish north, south, ancl west fenoe ackling slats and vir�es as
neecled and ap�rovecl �y staff.
5. Special. use for outside stora�e to be reviewecz prior to such time
as owr�er initiates cataper business or prior to March 1989, whichever
ooine.s f irst (special use permit lapses if not used within one year ).
�"1 6. Owner to work with City to desi� an acce�able building faca�

7. Izbise to be mar�a�d to minimi.ze aclverse impact on a�jaoerrt property.
8. Stora� area li.�ating should prwide for cut-off at property line.
9. lvo storage will extena ab�ve the fenoe so as to be visible from
outside of yard.
10. A11 landscaping and site work to be oompleted by October 1, 198�.
11. A performance bond or letter of credit for $?A,000 to be sulmitted
prior to taking occupancy of site.
Mr. Betzold stated that in t�ae avenda the Com�nissio�rs hacl rec9eivec7 a copy
of a letter clatea Jan. 12, 1988, from Lisa Campbell, Code Enforcement
Offiaer, listing code violations for Niiawest Van & Storage. Will those
violations be addressed by these stip�lations?
Mr. Robinson stated that, yes, those violations were acldressed in the
sti�il.ations. The letter was included in the agenda to show the
Comanissioners what kind of ooca�e problens they have had with this property in
the past.
1�1r. Betzold aske� what was mc�ant by stipulation #7: "1Voise to k�e managed to
� min�mize adverse impact on a�jaaent property."
Nir. Robinson skated that without being too quantitative, staff just wanted
to make the petitioner aware that he is acljac;ent to residential property and
that if there is any truck m�enent or fork lift activity in the yarcl, he
should try to make sure the r�oise is not of a vol �ne or at a time when it
woulcl be a nuisance to the neighbors to the west. The petitioner has
indicated there would be r�o groblems 1 ike that, but staf f j iast wanted to
express that wncern.
1�i1r. Ritterman stated their busir��s was ]5 years olcl. �'izey are currently
located at 1�:39 Central Avent� in Minneapolis. �e building has become too
small, arid they have to move up in size. Tl�ey cater to the insurance
industry, primarily as reconstruction people. They repair manufactured
housing (�obile homes). Mobile homes are repaired on site, not on the
pranises. 7�ey do this by utilizing 15 serviae trucks which go to the site
wY�re the mobile hane is located. �ey also repair residential housing anci
c�aaercial buildings in the same manner. '�heir largest area of re�air is in
the churah area. One of their largest customers is the Archdiocese of
Miraneapol�.s/St. Paul. The Church Board takes up about 70� of thei r
husiness.
Mr. Ritterman stated that maintaine� on the premises for the use of
maiaufac:tured housing was some specializecl materials. An example wot�.tcl be 4
f� wiae by 14 ft. long ceiling panels for �obile homes which are
�available at retail stores. It is brought in fr� out o� state and stored
/�� at their warehoiase. I�e stated they can service a mobile home and
-3-
' _;��!�� ��. •!'��y�_.1. � � ui�+?�!� �, u�� L��: • � : :
� manufactured housing homeowners and do-it-yourselfers in the area by
providing material.s and making the materials available on a retail level.
Mr. Ritterman state� they c�o have ancl have just initiated as of the first of
the year a floor wvering busir�ss whi.ch is obne an a wlmlesale hasis only.
The business is primarily the installation of all types of floor coverings
for new oo�nercial buildinqs.
Mr. Ritterman statec7 the warehouse at this location is dividecl into two
specific areas: (1) The hic,�i oeiling t�it would be used for storage of low
gooc�--carpeting ancl racks where the fork lift could operate; anol (2) The
law ceiling tmit would be t�ed for storac�e of equipment which goes on ar�d
off jobs 1� their service trucks. That type of equipment is primarily
snaller aompressors, staple guns, v�heelbarraws, carpet welc�rs, etc.
I�lr. Ritternnan stated they are looking forwarc� to utilizi.ng this area. One
of the thinc,�.s they want to do for the City of Fridley is make the builc7ing
�esirable froan the outwar� appearance, as well as f rom the insicle
appearance. 7�ie building, as it is now, is in pretty poor wndition.
Mr. Barna aske�l if the serviae vans would be kept in the outside storage
area.
Mr. Ritterman stated the servic� vans are not lcept on the premises. The
serviQe people drive them to and f rom �he j ob and f rom thei r homes. Ora
� occasion, a serviae truck might have to oome in to exchange eqt�i.pnerit before
�garting for a job.
P9r. Ritternnan stated tl�eir hours of operation are 7: 30 a. m to 4:00 p. m.
Monc7ay throuc�i Friday.
Mr. Rondrick aske� if Mr. Ritterman had any problem with any of the
stilxil.ations outlira�cl �i staff.
Mr. Ritterman stateol he thought the stipulations were fair and reasonable.
They were not anything diff erent f rcaa what they are currentl.y abiding by in
the City of Minneapol is. He stated they took a�ilding in Minrneap�l is �ery
similar to this k�uilding an� upgraded it. Tl1ey reaeived an awar� f ram the
City of Minneapolis for the improvenent of that laiilding.
Mr. Betzolc7 stated that in hearing the nature o� the busir�ss, Y�w much clid
Mr. Ritterman rely on sales to the general public? Eiis reason for asking
that qt�stion was he believed it was the long range plan of fihe City to
close off some of the ac�ess to the area which mic�t have an impact on Mr.
ICitterman's business.
Mr. Ritterman statecl 1 ast year thei r sal es total ed a 1 ittl e aver $1 mill ion.
Of that amoimt, the retail sales were approximately $60,000. With this new
facility, they wvuld be enlarging the store size, ana he anticigated the
sal es vol �nne to doubl e.
� N1r. Betzold asked how this location would affect the business as Mr.
-4-
•___L�"�� l ���YIY1 .1.. •� ���liL�_��_ �IS_1��1• �
�"� Ritteunan was raot on a maj �r thoroughf are.
Mr. Ritterman statecl their business was operated by virtue of a mailer that
is serit to 15,000 Y�omeo�aners, as well as aclvertised in the Yellvw Pages.
Si.nce it �vas a specializecl poarts business, the peogle wme to th�n. People
cb not learn about then by driving by the store. He stated there has been
some c3iscussion about the type of signage that might be used, and the
montunent-type sign would be quite moderate--corporate name and
address--located out in f ront of the building.
Mr. Betzold statec7 the petitioner was asking esseritially for two special use
permits—one for outdoor stora� anol one for the sale of c�mpers. What was
the timing for the sale of campers?
Mr. Ritterman statec� that in order to make the mwe, they neeol the special
ta.se permit for the retail area. Since they have no neec7 for the large
exterior yarc7 that is c�rrently asphalt covered and fenced, thei r thinking
was that ri�it along with their recreational vehicle sales, perhaps they
oould use that exteriar storage spac�e to it� best benefit by selling campers
to help subsidize the oost of mwing to a larger area.
Nir. Saba asked if there would be any display of catnpers out in front of the
building.
Mr. Ritterman statec� there would not. They don't want their customers who
� are wming to selec.t carpet gradaes or to talk about repair of their home or
church to feel they are cbing that at a camper sales area. The caanper sales
area wotalcl be a minor portion of the business. The absolute purpose for
redoirbg the faoe of �he buildir�g was to uphold a ni.oe appearanoe.
Mr. Robinson statecl stipulation #9 stated: "No storage will extencl above
the fence so as to be vi�ible fran outside the yard. "
N[r. Ritterman stated the recreational vehicle store would probably be open
on Saturday morninqs fran 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. However, the oontracting
portion of the busirzess would not be open on Saturday or S�day.
Mr. Saba askec7 if in the future Mr. Ritterman would be storing any damaged
vehicles in the storac�ee yard for re�xiir.
Mr. Ritterman stated, no, they will not he doing any on-site repair. All
the work is done aw�ay fr�n the prenises. However, if they do go into the
ca�nper sal� busir�ess, they wi11 have to service those �mit�. The work
woulcl not be done out in the yard itself, but within the builaing in the
shop area.
Ms. Jody Bystsr�n, 6533 Lucia Lane, asked about vans aoming anol g>ing.
Mr. Ritterman stated they have 15 service vans. �'hey are �nnall vans. Tl�at
day they only had three vans oome in for supplies. OP the 15 service vans,
the majority of the work is in churahes, and the supplies neec�eol for re�irs
/� in churc�ies are primarily plaster and pairiting-�type sugp].ies.

L)P�ON A VOICE VC!!'E, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAII�RS�T BE�Z�D DEQ,ARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 8:13 P. Nf.
Mr. Robir�son stated t]nis property was located just rn�rth of Mississippi St.
and east of Highway 65. The petition was identical to one which the
Planning Commisson reviewecl in April 1984 and wYaich the City Council
appraved i.n May 1984. 7�e zoning was R-1, single fanily, and was surrvtmded
by single family. �Sie prop�sal was to take two lots. Lot 5 and Lot 6, vahich
are r�ow separate tax parcels and builolable lots, and subdivide them by
splitting off agproximately 15 feet of the easterly portion of Lot 6 and
adding that to Lot 5, and then subdividing Lot 5 in sucll a way as to create
Tract A anci Tract B with access onto Lucia Lane. Lot 7 �aoulcl stay the sa�ne,
anc� there was currently a purchase agre�nent on that lot.
Nlr. Robinson �ated one of the previous lot split requests also included the
b�ack half of the northerly Lot 4. Since that time, they Yaave been
,� successful in rewmbir�ing that p�rtion of property with the original pa�rent
property so that pieoe of lancllocked property was no longer a problem. So,
the petitioner was to take two lots and create three lots, which was the
sa�ne petition a�roveol in 1984. The lots do meet o�de in terms of lot area
ana lot width. In fact, they exceecl the lot area suYastantially.
Mr. Robinson statecl staff was revoBnnending the follaaing stipia].ations:
l. Owner to supply a 15 foot bikeway/walkway easement o� Mississippi
Street fro� Lucia Lane to Hi�way 65.
2. A park fee �$7�.00 �ch for Tract A an� B be paid prior to
issuance of �x,iilding permits.
3. Drivcway on Tract B to aare�s Lucia Lane only.
4. Driveway on balance of Lot 6 to be as far east as possible.
5. Owner is respc>nsib,le to r�tify prospective buyer af possible
median on Mississippi Street whic�i o�uld preclt�de easterly
mav�uer►t f rcan Lot 6 and 7.
Mr. Betzolc� statecl that whera the lot split is recoraed at the Co�ty, was
there any way of filing these stipulations along with it to put the buyers
on notioe that these things are c�oing to be happerai.ng?
� Mr. Robinson statecl they have al rea�y notif iec] the potential a�ar�er of Lot 7

' _4_�I�1 !��. ���VI�� _,� _ � � I(���� �._ V��_i��i: �
� about the median. He stated Charles qmpbell, the property owner's agent,
has indicated he aould put related languaqe into the �archase agreements for
army prospeckive buyers relating to the oenter median on Mississippi Street.
^
�
Mr. Robinson stated the Commission might want to consider a stipulation
reo��nending that there be a driveway turnaround installed so vehicles do
not have to k�ack otat onto Mississippi Street frcen Lots 6 and 7.
Mr. Qzarles (�mpbell state� he was with P�errill Lync;h and was representing
Mr. Geral.d Johnson on the sale of the property. He statecl a niunber of
other real estate oompanies and developers have attempted to util ize this
property. He stated they have advised Mr. Johnson that the best tse ancl the
easiest way to market this property would be to cp ahea� with its intendec7
use wlv.c°h was single f�mily Y�anes. He had a�vised Mr. Johnson to c�o aheaal
with the lot split baseci on the market value and his investment in the
property. Mr. Johnson has agreed with this ancl is motivated to sell the
lots and have hcanes �nstructed.
Mr. C�n►pbell stated they have made an arranc�emerrt with Brandon Construction
to build to sui� They are advising a wa].kout r�nlaler type of home in the
$100,000 price range. It is what they call a ghost listing so there could
be an acljustment in the lot or type of l�use that is built there, but they
are trying to �l.ert buyers tYaat this is the type of construction they see
for these lots. 7Szey cb have a purcllase agre�nent on Lot 7, the lot closest
to Highway 65. 73�e buyers for that lot have been in touch with Mr. R�binson
anc7 he believed they lazow about the sti�l.ation� and the proposed median.
1�1rr. C�mpbell stated he had mentionea to Pgrr. Robinson before the meeting that
the olriveway oould be further to the east on Lot 6. The median issue was
relatively new to him, but he haa no problem with it and will put a
statement to that effe�t in the advertising ancl can have a stipt�lation in
the purchase agre�nent if that is hel�ul.
Mr. Bet�olol aske� wYaat N1r. (�mpbell thought ab�ut a driveway turnaro�d.
Mr. C�mpbell statec� the buyer was satisfied wath the deal he is getting on
the lot, ancl he wi11 know the location anc7 the traff ic sittaation. Any
further stipu].ations mic,�t make it a little harder to market the property,
but he did not see a big problem if the Commission wanted to make that
stipulation.
Mr. Saba stateol he liked the stipulation for a turnaro�d because of the
safety prohlens whic,li oould be created by cars backing out onto Mississippi
Str ee�
Ms. Jody Bystran, 6533 Isucia Lane N. E. , statedl there is a lot of on-street
parking on Lucia Lane whic�n aoritinues to be a problen. Even with only two
r�ew driveways exiting onto Lucia Lane, there was the gotential for a lot
more cars garking on the street. iia� any thought been given to this
probl en?
Mr. Barna stated that the staraolard oode requires an adequate paved clrive�aay
�
. �i ���� �._ •��Vlst� _�_ � 4���_ i� V�.� �� �
� and doub].e car c�rac�e ancl a 35 ft. setback f ran the street, tahich gives the
poteritial for five cars to park on the lot. He stated the neighborhoocl
could always petition to have "no parking" sic�ns put up; but, of course,
that would then a�ly to everyboa� including the rbeighborhoocl.
It seenerl to be the gerieral wncensus of those in the audience that single
family �ousing was what they have always wanted for this property and were
in agre�►ent with the lot spl it.
� by ilr. R�ndrack, seoonded by Mr. Barraa, to re�rimiencl to City Co�cil
a�roval o�' Los Sgl it, L. S. �88-01, by Gerald Johnson, to spl it Lots 5 and
6, Lucia Lane Addition, in oro�r to create three buildable lots, generally
located at 1133 - 1145 Mississippi Street N. E. with the following
stipulations:
1. Owner to supply a 15 foot bikeway/vralkway easement w�a

5. Owner is responsible to r�tify prospective buyer af

The Comanissioners were in agreeaent that a c7riveway turnaro�c7 was a goocl

N1r. Robinson statecl that on page 5 of the Envirormiental Quality Commission
minutes, the Coaarnission had made a motion re�omanending that the City Coimcil
support the proposec7 Comprehensive Waste Reduction & Recycling Act; that the
City Council �ass a resolution in support of the Comprehensive Waste
Reduction & Recycling Act; and forwarcl the resolution to the r�9PCA, Waste
t�anageme,nt Boarcl, Metropol itan Co�ci1, Anoka Cotmty, and State legisl ator s
represeriting the City of Fric7].ey. The Environmental Quality Coiranission
would like the Planning Co�nission to aoncur with that reoommendation.
Mr. Robinson statecl there have been pub�].ic hearings on the bill and most of
the curbside haulers are oppose� to it. Staper Cycle was vehenently opposed
to i� They feel. they are doing a good job and are follawing the initiative
put out by I�etropolitan Cotmci]. and feel the bi11 is cletrimental to what
they are try�ng to achieve through curbside recycling.
� Mr. Robinson stated they have k�een looking at bins for curbsicle recycling.
It has been prwen that bins increase �rticipation dr�natically. Frid].ey
has gnne to bi-monthly pickups, but it still has not increased participation
very muc;h. The biggest problen seemecl to be the lack of a clistinction
between recycling arid garkaage placed at the curb. The bins are a strong
visual ctae to peogle to recycle and mi�t help increase participation.
Ms. Sherek stated she ac,�rreec7 that gark�ge pickup hacl to g� hand in hanc7 with
recycling. People just do not get ir�o a o�nsistent pattern of putting out
recyclables.
Mr. Saba statec7 he thou�t bins were an interesting idea. Maybe the EQC
voulal look into this and wme up with something similar to wY�at Minneapol is
is doing in their campaign promotion, maybe even get together with
Minneapolis and other wmQnimities and make it a metro-wide effort. Maybe
the wsts for bins would be much cl�eaper when �rchased in large vol�nnes.
Nls. SYaerek aske� if businesses in the �onuntuiity recycle. Does Super C�icle
pick up recyctables fran b�sir�sses in Fridl.ey?
Mr. Robertson stated the Ch�nber of Commerce Board has talked about
oryanizing recycling. �iere is a lot of interest on the part of building
owr�ers in organizing it becaise there is a real oost savinc� in rec�cing the
amo�t o� paper that has to be hauled away.

f�ding. 7�e same thing �uld apply when th�y are using CD�G monies to
acjquire Riverview Heights properties or anything else. Any sic�age
