PL 06/21/1995 - 7082PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1995 7:30 P.M. PUBLIC COPY � /"� CITY OF FRIDLEY JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL QIIALITY & ENERG'�Y COMMISSION MEETIIJG MAY 3� 1995 CALL JOINT MEETING TO ORDER: Vice-Chairperson Kondrick called the May 3, 1995, joint Planning Commission and Environmental Quality & Energy Commission meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. _ ROLL CALL• Members Present: Dave Kondrick, Diane Savage, Brad Sielaff, Dean Saba, Bruce Bondow, Jack Velin Members Absent: Dave Newman, LeRoy Oquist, Connie Modig, Rich Svanda, Steve Stark Others Present: Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator ^ Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant 1. REE'T�W OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY'S WATER CONSERVATION AND EMERGENCY PLAN Mr. Hickok stated the state legislature in 1993 mandated a modification to Chapter 186 in which they required communities with municipal water supplies to prepare a water conservation and emergency plan prior to January 1, 1996. In an effort to get a better understanding of what it is the state wanted, staff invited Jim Japs from the Department of Natural Resources and Gary Oberts from the Metropolitan Council to come out in November. At that time, only 3 of 113 communities had completed this plan. Staff was concerned that this is quite a task and it is. important that there be a chapter amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Staff prepared an internal working team with Ms. Dacy, Mr. Hickok, Ms. McPherson, finance representatives, and Public Works representatives who worked in the areas of inventory, emergency planning, and water conservation planning. Mr. Hickok stated, from those early discussions, they put together an inventory for what the plan should include. There are guidelines from the state that are very specific. Much of the information in the agenda packet is inventory information. At this meeting, iiiakok stated he would like to focus on the policy aspects of the plan. The inventory is somewhat in place. n The City did consult with MSA, an engineering consulting firm, to analyze the City�s water supply system. That MSA plan in draft form has come back to Mr. Flora for his review. This could be on JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL IIALITY � & ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING. MAY 3. 1995 PAGL 2 the City Council agenda for their review on May 15. This study is the result of the Council's interest in water quality and functionality of the system. The Council was interested in knowing about the water quality and about the water system in general. Mr. Hickok stated he would like feedback on wellhead protection. Running simultaneously is the wellhead protection program which involves the rewrite of the health rules. In 1989, the State was looking at the overall water supply for the region and determined that staff should have some protective devices in place for the wells and, at that time, they determined a wellhead protection program was necessary. Very recently, they passed a wellhead protection program and the rules are being rewritten. Staff is not at a point where they can bring those rules in. The rules will be reviewed when they are final. Mr. Sielaff stated the rules are in draft form and he thought they were close to being final. Mr. Hickok stated this was correct. There have been a series of public information meetings and staff have been involved in these review discussions. � Mr. Sielaff stated there are cities that have already begun their wellhead protection plan. Mr. Hickok stated, as cities are growing �nd looking for wells, they will need to be up-to-date with their wellhead protection plans. Mr. Sielaff stated, while it is fine to wait until the rules are final, he thought there are some things staff can do now. The EQE has discussed this and that Commission has supported the program. Mr. Hickok stated he thought the EQE has supported the draft also. He asked if they were comfortable with the direction it is heading. Mr. Sielaff stated he would prefer to get started on the wellhead protection plan. The wellhead protection rules outline that the cities have to do a wellhead protection plan which must be approved by the state. He did not think the rules would change that much. There is much data already generated so that they could start a plan. He has been in contact with some people. Bruce Holmqren came out and talked to the EQE. Mr. Hickok stated it is the City's intent to move along and qet � something finalized. They have set September or the third /"'� ,� JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND BNVIRONMI:NTAI+ OIIALITY PAGE 3 & ENERGY COMMI88ION MEETING MAY 3 1995 quarter as their target date to have the plan finalized. Staff is confident with the recommendations and modifications that they will bellbbe fartenoughlalo g to incorporatelandatake�itcallnto plan wi the Council at one time. Ms. McPherson stated she understood the water conservation plan would be adopted as soon as the EQE provided comments and the Council approved it. Then staff would wait until the rules are final to begin wellhead protection. Based on these comments, there is no reason staff cannot start the data collection and preliminary inventory. The City probably has the data in this plan or sewer and water data in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Sielaff stated the State of Minnesota also has a consultant who is doing a study on the well field. Ms. McPherson stated she was sure they could go back, start taking a look at it and see how it fits into the workplan. Mr. Sielaff stated the EQE felt it important to do this but also address the issues of the well field. Mr. Hickok stated the MSA study being done will be very helpful information to build into this. Staff will go forward on the wellhead protection. Mr. Hickok referred to page 39, Emergency Procedure Update for Water Supply. The first paragraph states there are hazards that could affect the water supply system and, in response to that, staff wants to have a plan in place. There are recommendations in the emergency response plan. This section talks about the groundwater, it makes suggestions about alternative water souraes, and the possibility for an interconnection such as staff have with New Brighton. The City Council has in the past been interested in doing things that are a joint service cooperative effort with other communities. This plan states there are alternative sources of water available in the event of some emergency and staff need to tap another resource. Mr. Sielaff asked if "emergency" "natural hazard" include hazards the water supply? is defined anywhere. Also, does such as hazardous waste entering Ms. McPherson stated the second sentence of that paragraph includes human-caused disasters including the release of hazardous materials in to the supply or system, structural fires, �"1 major construction or transportation accidents, or vandalism. � JOINT PY,ANNING COMMISSION AND EIWIRONMENTAL OIIALITY ^' & ENERGY COMMISBION_MEETING. MAY 3. 1995 PAGE 4 Mr. Sielaff asked about the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) water and if there is a failure in their system. What if, for some reason, some contaminated water got by the filtering system? The monitoring device could malfunction. Someone could fail to switch the filters at the proper time. There could be some.incident that Eould prevent proper�treatment from�occurring and staff could end up drinking contaminated water. Ms. McPherson stated they could include that as part of this. Another part of this is to write administrative procedures and write an ordinance to activate emergency procedures. They can bring up that very specific point. Mr. Sielaff stated the alternate sources of water includes TCAAP. Does this also include NIRCOP? While these can be considered as a solution to an emergency, this can also be a source. Mr. Hickok stated they can address this. Mr. Flora has been working with this and can be contacted about this concern. Mr. Sielaff stated the document says TCAAP water was 2 million gallons/day. He had heard there was anywhere between 3 million `-., and 4 million gallons/day. Is this saying the maximum is 2 million gallons/day that staff will take from them? There is a big difference between 2 million gallons/day and 4 million gallons/day. He would like to have that clarified. Mr. Aickok referred to page 40,the Water Supply Shortage Plan. Mr. Hickok provided copies of a handout listing the prioritization of what they would do in the event of an emergency. The Water Supply Shortage Plan talks about public education, sprinkling restriction ordinances, and energy efficient retrofitting programs that would help to reduce the water demands and help reduce some of the peak demands. Mr. Hickok stated the next area, Water Emergency Conditions, talks about what the City would do to head off some of the demands. Ms. Savage disagreed with the item to restrict restaurants from serving water to customers. Drinking water is an essential and restaurants should not be restricted from serving water. Mr. Saba stated he thought this would restrict a restaurant from voluntarily serving water. Customers would be required to ask for water. Mr. Sielaff referred to page 40, item 2, Water Emergency � Conditions. Is this just the quantity that you are looking at or is staff also looking at water quality concerns? Would a water � JOINT PLANNING COI�IiB�iON AND ENVIRONMENTAL QIIALITY & ENERGY COMMI88ION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGE 5 emergency exist if a hazardous waste got into the drinking supply? The implication as stated is that this is just quantity related. He thought contamination also could contribute to a water shortage. Mr. Bondqw stated the City may l�ave to shut down.a portion pf the system because of contaminants and have a shortage. Mr. Hickok stated this would mean that it is not just when the reservoir is too low to fight fires. It is also when the quality of the water is not at safe drinking water standards. So, there are water quality issues and water emergency conditions that are very specific. Mr. Hickok reviewed page 41, Administrative Actions, Emergency Ordinance Provisions, and Utility Operation Program. Under Administrative Actions, the education program should be structured so it includes the water quality and water quantity issues and how to respond to those in an emergency. The Utility Operation Progrant speaks to the short term perform�ance things that would allow the City to conserve water and modify ,-� operations. Mr. Kondrick stated the Utility Operation Program lists one option as purchasing water from the surrounding cities. When this is done, how is the quality monitored to be �ure it meets standards? Mr. Hickok stated the City has a staff person who deals with water quality and monitoring. The City regularly monitors the water system. Mr. Kondrick asked if was necessary to test the water daily. Mr. Hickok stated he was not sure. Mr. Sielaff stated this would depend on what paraffieters you are looking for. Mr. Randrick makes a good point. How can staff be sure staff is gettinq good quality water from another source? How does staff insure the quality of the water staff is taking? Mr. Kondrick stated the average layperson will ask questions about how often staff tests the water. Are there State requirements that dictate the frequency? Mr. Hickok stated there are State requirements. �here are periodic testings as well as annual testing. The City does ,� ongoing testinq through the course of the month and probably during any given week. JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL OIIALITY � & ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGE 6 Ms. McPherson stated they can add an paragraph that speaks to water quality testing and contamination. They can also add some ing on our system and how TCAAP works. They should also find out when the Navy site is coming on line and add that. Otherwise, there will be an addendum later. Mr. Saba stated he found it scary that the City is taking water that has been cleaned. He hoped that everything hazardous had been removed, but what happens in there is an error or malfunction of some kind. Mr. Hickok stated the water quality issue is something that the _ City Council has spent much time on. Mr. Saba stated it appeared that their discussion was more concerned about color contaminants rather than the non-visible contaminants. The Council is responding to the calls they get. Mr. Hickok stated the Utility Operation Program talks about steps to be taken on a short term basis to reduce the water demand. Mr. Hickok referred to page 42, Water Supply and Conservation Plan Implementation. This part of the plan is the detail of the � implementation. The plan will serve as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan including an amendment to the sewer and water chapter. Mr. Hickok reviewed the operational recommendations that should be implemented. Mr. Hickok referred to page 43, and reviewed the minor physical changes recommended to the City's water system. Mr. Sielaff stated the fourth point, "Development of an increasing block method of water charges and/or a summer water metering program" should be included as part of the operational recommendations listed on the previous page. Mr. Kondrick asked what the Marion Hills booster was. Ms. McPherson stated the Marion Hills area is the area behind Menards and is the highest area in the community. Because the City has a gravity flow system, the higher elevations have lower water pressure. By installing a booster station in that area, the fire trucks don't have to work as hard to pressurize the water for fire fighting purposes. Mr. Hickok stated this is the policy and implementation aspect of the conservation plan. It is an important plan and contains a lot of information. He appreciated the comments provided. He �-.� will go back and incorporate those comments into the plan and provide the members with a draft copy before sending it on to the '� JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND SNVIRONMENTAL 4IIALITS & ENERGY COMMI88ION MBETING MAY 3 1995 PAGE 7 Council in order for members to have an opportunity to make additional comments. Mr. Bondow suggested, to conserve paper, that he send out only those pages having changes. Mr. Sielaff asked if staff had considered having large users do water conservation plans and submit them to the City. Mr. Hickok stated there was some discussi�on about conservation programs for large users. This has worked for energy conservation. He thought this issue was worth bringing forward. Ms. McPherson stated the City has the cheapest water rates in the seven county metro area. Until the Council moves to reverse the aurrent pricing system and increase the rates to a point where the system pays for itself, there is no incentive for large users to conserve water. At that point in time, it will be easier to convince large users that by implementing these procedures they can save money. ,,-� Mr. Sielaff stated this makes sense to this economically, but what about emergency situations. He can see the need for large users to do something on an emergency basis. If staff is having the citizens take steps to conserve, then the large users should also do something. Mr. Saba stated they need to be careful about how "emergency" is defined. Also to define the level of emergency that would ask commercial and/or industrial users to enact conservation measures. Ms. McPherson stated there would be some large users, such as Unity Hospital, which would be the last in a line of users to be affected. There are a series of specific activities that need to occur. When writing the ordinance, staff needs to be specific about the point at which each of these activities would occur. Mr. Hickok thanked the members for their comments and asked members to contact him if they had any additional comments. ADJOURNMENT OF JOINT MEETING: MOTION by Mr. Bondow, seconded by pir.

IIPON A VOICB VOTE, ALL VOTIN(3 AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON RONDRICR DECLARED THE MOTiON CARRIED AND THS PIIBLIC HEARINQ OPBN AT 8a35 P.M. � Mr. Hickok stated the request is threefold. The first of the three requests is a rezoning request for 14.5 acres located west of Main Street just east of the Burlington Northern rail line and north of I-694. At the April meeting, the commission had an in depth discussion about the proposal, and staff had a number of - items they wanted to take a more in depth look at. This evening, staff is prepared to present the rezoning request with a recommendation. Mr. Hickok stated the.request relates to a combination of properties including 9.8 acres of M-2, Heavy Industrial, and 4.7 acres of C-2, General Business. The proposal is for a large retail complex containing 142,316 square feet of retail space. Of that, Home Depot would be the primary user using 103,550 ^ square feet and there would be an attached garden center using 27,972 square feet; an attached retail space with 26,600 square feet; and a detached peripheral retail facility with 5,000 square feet. Mr. Hickok stated there are issues related to this request. First, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to remove 14.5 acres from the industrial inventory would be required. On the City Comprehensive Plan, the land use plan shows the industrial designated land. West of Main Street, there is a large industrial development area. The City does have other large industrial development areas in the northern portion of the City. Across from this site, there is a commercial property that is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center. North of 57th Avenue is commercial property zoned C-2, General Business. The primary roads in this area are I-694 and University Avenue to 57th which would serve this site. Mr. Hickok stated an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is moving along. Staff has prepared an application to begin the amendment to the plan. Staff will run that simultaneously so that would be forwarded to the City Council and the Metropolitan Council would be notified of the modifications. Much of the modification is staff paperwork. Mr. Hickok stated the property is currently zoned M-2, Heavy r`'� Industrial, and C-2, General Business. There is C-3, General Shopping Center, to the east and C-2, General Business, north of JOINT PLANNING COMMIggION AND ENpIRONMENTAL OIIALITY � & ENERGY COMMISSION MEETIN(� MAY 3 1995 PAGL 10 57th Avenue and east of the site. There is M-2, Heavy Industrial, to the north, to the west, and to the south. Mr. Hickok stated one issue is that this rezoning would mean the loss of the City's largest remaining industrial parcel. Looking at this site;.the 14�.5 acres is not all industrial at this•time �- but a combination of C-2 and M-2. The Comprehensive Plan is designated entirely for industrial at this time. In terms of the Plan, if this were rezoned to an industrial use, an amendment would not be necessary. Mr. Hickok stated there were traffic concerns discussed at the last meeting and these have been discu�ssed with the Home Depot traffia analysts. He is very pleased with their very complete traffic analysis related to this project. The zoning as it exists today with the combination of heavy industrial and commercial would generate nearly an identical number amount of traffic to this rezoned use at C-3. In the staff report, there is information on what an industrial user might expect in average daily trips and that is considerably lower. There are some existing conditions. The northbound University lanes back up occasionally at the 57th Avenue intersection under current � conditions. Cars exiting I-694 going northbound on University are forced to travel across a number of lanes to turn left on 57th. 57th Avenue has a service level of "D". The number of cars that would be generated by the Home Depot would not take it beyond the '�D" service level. An impact that you might expect is at the intersection of Main Street and 57th Avenue. This intersection is currently in an "A" condition. With development of this site, staff could expect degradation in movement at this intersection to a "D" condition. Mr. Hickok stated they had asked for more information on where the traffic would be coming from. They anticipate that 600 of the traffic would be on 57th Avenue, 30�a south of 57th along Main Street; and 10� using the area north of 57th on Main Street. This would be the distribution during peak hours which is the worse case scenario. Mr. Rondrick asked if these numbers reflect what is happening now or what is expected to happen after development. Mr. Hickok stated this is based on the Home Depot impact to the roadways after development. Mr. Hickok stated one concern is exactly what are the numbers that might use 61st Avenue to get to the site. There is some impact. The study looked at pre and post development traffic � counts. There is a difference of 170 trips predevelopment and 197 post-development making its way up Main Street to 61st. �' JOINT PLANNING COMMI88ION AND LNVIRONMENTAL II�AI+I'1'X & BNERGY COMMI88ION MSETING{ MAY 3 1995 PAGE 11 Travelling 61st to Main, this goes from 45 trips pre to 71 trips post during peak hours. The total and south different is just over one car per minute. There are increases at the intersections but staff is looking at whether the roadways are equipped to handle it. At the last meeting, someone had asked if the.Main Street and 57th Avenue�intersection was equipped to handle the traffic that might be expected from this development. According to Barton-Aschman, the level of service at University and 57th would be "D" pre and post development; Main Street and 57th would be "A" pre and "D/B" post development; Main Street and 61st Avenue would remain "A" pre and post development. The analysis gives a better feel for what this development will do in terms of impact to the neighborhood. The degradation of Main Street and 57th from an "A" to a°B" or "D" is of concern and is tied to a stipulation on the development stating the petitioner would be responsible for the cost of any traffic improvements as a result of this development. Mr. Kondrick asked if anything else was done to resolve the intersection question. At the meeting, it was stated that Anoka County would like 57th Avenue aligned with the entrance to the ,--� property . Mr. Hickok stated that intersection has been indicated on the most recent site plan with an offset alignment with the potential for a"T" intersection. These are tied to negotiations with the property owner to the north. Staff wants the County's preference carried through and would like the intersection aligned if approved. Mr. Hickok stated access to the site has been taken care of along with the traffic issues and any unknown impacts. Mr. Hickok stated the City has its most discretion in the case of a rezoning. With that, staff analyzed the land use pattern; looked at the City's interest in industrial development; and looked at the 1993 amendment to the code which allowed an M-3, outdoor intensive heavy industrial district. The purpose of that was to preserve the remaining industrial land available in the community. Because of the island of commercial that would be created, it would bump commercial use beyond Main Street to the west, and it breaks an established pattern of M-2 with a possible controlled intersection created, staff recommends denial of the rezoning request. However, if the Planning Commission chooses to recommend approval of the request, staff recommends the following stipulations: �"''�, 1. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be required if this 14.5 acre parcel is to be rezoned. All fees related to processing the amendment will be born by the petitioner. JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL OIIALITY � & ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGL 12 2. The materials of the landscape plan shall be reviewed and approved by staff prior to installation. 3. The banding and color scheme shall be consistent on all building faces. 4. Customer information/directional signage and�striping will be required in accordance with the Home Depot Site Plan dated April 27, 1995. 5. Al1 billboard signs shall be removed within a time frame to be determined by the City. 6. A request for three variances would be required to be processed, and a decision of the Fridley City Council rendered prior to fabrication and installation of a sign larger than 80 square feet. 7. The petitioner shall provide verification of approval of the storm water management plan from the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Six Cities Watershed District. 8. Calculations must be provided and drainage modifications � must be completed on the plan prior to the May 3, 1995, Planning Commission meeting. 9. A drainage easement must be acquired by the petitioner to allow excess run-off to drain on the property to the west. 10. All pond slopes shall be designed with a minimum 3:1 interior slope in accordance with the grading and drainage plans dated April 27, 1995. 11. Pond capacity calculations shall be provided prior to the May 3, 1995, Planning Commission meeting. (These have been submitted as requested.) 12. The petitioner shall comply with all requirements of the Anoka County Engineering Department. 13. A semi-traffic circulation plan shall be indicated on the site plan with the modified access location as required by the Anoka County Traffic Engineering Department. 14. The large commercial vehicle circulation route shall be clearly marked through the use of informational signs once the site develops. �"� � JOINT PLANNING COMMI88ION AND BNVIRONMENTAL OIIALITY & ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGE 13 15. The petitioner shall be responsible for the cost of the traffic improvements necessary to accommodate the traffic generated by the development including signalization of other improvements as determined by Anoka County or MnDOT now or in the future. Ms. Savage asked if the item was tabled at the last meeting in order to do the traffic study. Mr. Hickok stated yes. Staff needed more information about the traffic and the site plan. Staff needed a site plan to address the County's concerns regarding access. Staff had concern about the traffic movement to the front loading area for lumber and - asked for modifications there. They have created a vestibule for a front loading door. Staff has reviewed the site plan revisions and are pleased with the revisions that have been made. There is an access point that they would like to see resolved, but for the most part, they have made the improvements. The bigger issue is related to the layout. Mr. Saba asked if the rezoning request was tied to the � development. Mr. Hickok stated that the rezoning goes with the land. Mr. Sielaff stated the 57th and University intersection is a mess. He was wondering if the redevelopment of the Lake Pointe property and the traffic that would generate was included as part of the traffic study. Mr. Hickok stated that development will have some impact. It was not considered however as part of this report. Mr. 5ielaff asked what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Platt stated the hours are 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Mr. Sielaff wondered what the impact would be with Lake Pointe developed and with this area being developed. There may have to be traffic improvements made. Mr. Hickok stated there will be more traffic as more development occurs, and staff knows that this intersection is considered a "D" level. Mr. Sielaff thought that could be a big problem particularly early in the morning. r"1 Mr. Platt stated he would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff. Mr. Hickok has done a good job of presenting a broad JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND EIWIRONMENTAL OIIALITY & ENERGY COMMI88ION MEBTING, MAY 3. 1995 PAGE 14 overview of the project and thanked staff for their input on the site plans. Mr. Platt stated this is the second meeting regarding the appropriateness of rezoning this property. As staff inentioned, there have made many revisions to the site plan to comply with the requests. So far, they have no problems with anything they have been asked to do. They do ask the Planning Commission to consider rezoning this property. They are of the opinion that rezoning will not adversely affect the existing neighborhood nor put much of an additional strain on the existing infrastructure. He understands staff's concern regarding industrial property. Mr. Platt stated Home Depot would employ approximately 200 employees with 75� of those jobs being full-time. Regarding the traffic situation and the corner of Main and 57th, they stand ready to stand by the requirement to add signage or pay for any improvements for that intersection. The staff report mentioned, with the development of Home Depot, they basically would see about 105 extra trips per day to the site as opposed to developing it entirely as industrial or about 7 trips per hour. Their peak hours are not at the same time as for industrial or office users. The majority of their business is done of Friday evenings or Saturdays. They don't have the same kind of traffic in the area from the existing industrial uses that they would have at that time. Ae thought, based on the stipulations that the staff has recommended, they stand ready to agree with all of those with the exception to stipulation #5 regarding the billboards. That is out of there hands. The property owner has recorded legal easements for the billboards. He thought that issue was best left to be dealt with between staff and the property owner in another setting. That is an issue they do not have any control over. Mr. Platt stated, if the Commission recommends approval, they look forward to breaking ground this year and would like to be open during the summer of 1996. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Ms. Savage, to close the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTL, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSOlJ RONDRICR DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:05 P.M. � � Ms. Savage stated she was opposed ta the request. There is a lot of appeal to have a business like this with more jobs and more revenue generated. She agreed with staff that we have to � consider the long term goals of the City as opposed to the short term. This is an area that should be preserved for industrial � JOINT PLANNIN(� COMMISBION AND ENVIRONMEl�i'rAL OIIALITY & ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGE 15 development. There will be traffic problems. Her main concern is that the Comprehensive Plan should be followed. Mr. Saba stated he felt that the zoning in that specific area is long overdue to be changed. He would support the rezoning. He works in industry and indu�stry��s not growing right now. If you have development and it is a quality development, he did not see any reason to throw it aside in favor of industrial that may or may not go in there. He did not see a lot of potential for industrial development in Fridley. He sees more of this type of development. He sees a quality effort and quality plan. He is not bothered by the increase in traffic. The traffic can be managed. He would support �he proposal. Mr. 5ielaff stated he had no objection to the rezoning. He is concerned with the traffic. He is concerned, not necessarily about the traffic generated by this development, but he sees problems in the future with the Lake Pointe development. It may be a big problem regarding what goes in there. He thought this was a good quality business. He would vote in favor of the rezoning but he is concerned about the traffic at that �''� intersection. Mr. Oquist stated he has the same concern about the traffic. He would vote in favor of the rezoning with the reservation on the traffic. He agreed with Mr. Saba in that the City has a fair amount of industrial property that he was not sure would ever be developed. There is an opportunity to put in a quality business on the site and it is a nice package. He is concerned about the traffia, but he thought it could be managed. He thought stipulation #5 could be changed so the terms are negotiated by the City and the current owner. This should be clarified. Mr. Kondrick stated he was also in favor of the rezoning. Home Depot is an outstanding company. They do a good job on their buildings. The�i employ a lot of people. They give good advice. If this were turned into an industrial business, it would also generate traffic with or without Lake Pointe. There will be traffic regardless of what goes in there. It looks like the traffic will not be better but will not be worse. As far as being willing to abide by all the stipulations, the petitioner is willing to do so. He would vote in favor of the request. Mr. Sielaff asked if they were suggesting stipulation #5 be changed. Ms. Savage stated she was very much opposed to billboards and did � not think this should be negotiated. JOINT pLANNING COMMI88ION AND LNpIRONMENTAL OIIALITY & ENERGY COMMI88ION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGB 16 Mr. Oquist agreed but he did not think the petitioner has much control over that. Mr. Platt stated the billboards are existing on the site. Mr..Oqv,ist stated it is a matter of t�king doWn what curr.ently exists. � � Mr. Saba stated, in situations like this, the City must be � flexible and grow when they have the opportunity. Part�of the planning in terms of the Comprehensive Plan is to reflect a determination to change when staff has the opportunity to go forward with a development. Mr. Oquist stated the situation of the billboards appears to be a three way negotiation with the present owners, the petitioners and the staff. Mr. Hickok stated, historically, the policy has been to have billboards removed or amortized over a period of time. He has no comment on the lease agreement set up on this property. Mr. Hawkins stated the petitioner has entered into a purchase agreement contingent upon approval by the City. The existing land owner has granted an easement for the billboard signs in existence. The people who have the easement rights have a vested interest in continuing that. The petitioner does not have any control over the billboard. They are taking the property subject to those easements. They do not want the signs there either. Legally, they cannot force the signs off of there either. Mr. Platt stated they would agree to do what they can to get those signs off the property. Mr. Saba stated, if Home Depot can somehow negotiate the removal of those billboards before it goes to the Council, it might be in their behalf. The Council has almost consistently demanded removal of billboards. He would recommend to leave the wording as it is because it may give Home Depot more negotiating power. If they can say this is the only way to get the property „ it may be an incentive. Mr. Oquist recommended leaving it as it is with their comments. The Council can review the information. There are concerns, but if Home Depot cannot do anything about it, will that eliminate the deal. � � Mr. Sielaff stated the way it is stated now indicates staff has � concerns and want this to happen. r�� JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL OIIALITY & LNERGY COMMISSION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGE 1?

A future owner of the retail portion of the building would own the northerly portion of the parcel. The freestanding retail would have its own site as well. All of the parcels meet the minimum standards and with the buildings as proposed would be realistic projects for the size they are proposing.

Ms. Savage asked how staff's recommendation to approve is aonsistent with the recommendation to deny the rezoning. Mr. Hickok stated, in order to move this request on, staff had to take this request independently. Also, the first stipulation �"'1 states the rezoning must be approved or it cannot go any further. Staff now has to move beyond the rezoning and can now consider the plat. Mr. Saba asked if the traffic study took into account the other businesses at the site. Mr. Hickok stated yes. The petitioner did the study based on the worse case scenario. Ms. Savage asked if there was a bikeway/walkway along Main Street. Mr. Hickok stated currently no. There is a pattern of asking for the easement as development occurs along Main Street. The City has almost a complete easement in place for the development of a path.

An amenclment to the City's Comprehensive Plan, from its current Industrial designation, to a Conunercial designation will be required prior to rezoning. gUNIl+�lARY OF ISSIIEB: a total of Home Depot, Inc. plans to construct a complex con'taining 142,316 s.f. of retail space. The Home Depot Store will utilize 103,550 s.f. of that space. The proposed site plan for the facility also shows an attached 27,972 s.f. Home Depot Garden Centex. Attached to the north wall of the Home De�t Store is a 26,600 s.f. separately owned retail facility (owner unlrnawn at this time). Home De�t has also made provisions for a 5,000 s.f. free-standinq peripheral retail facility along Main Street. The future of this �ripheral retail use is also yet to be determined. To respond to this request, the City must weigh its interest in: 1. Amending the Comprehensive Plan to remove 14.5 acres from the industrial inventory; 2. Rezoning this combination of 4.7 acres of C-2, General �uusiness and 9.8 acres of M-2, Heavy Industrial; 3, Extending the existing commercial node further west of Ur�iversity Avenue into what becomes a second tier of co�nercial activity PLp�Il�tlNa COI�IlKI88ION ACTIONB: Planning Conuonission recommen�led approval of a request to rezone, replat and allow a s�cial use permit for a garden center on this parcel- RI;Cp�TDED ACTIONB: Staff recommiends denial of CPA #95-01 to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Industrial to Coamaercial.

DEVEIAPMENT SITE In 1974 the Burlington Northern rail lines formed a Iand Development Corporation to aid in the development of the rail lines property that lined their Rail system. Burli.ngton Northern had owned the property since 1965. A Burlington representative indicated (i.n 1974j that the property had not been developed because Burlington had plans for what they called the Northtown Yards. Their �ct plans for the Northtown Yards were not certain and until specific plans were available, the Rail Company did want to dispose of the property. Burlington's development division did believe that a Motel to handle their Northtown rail crews would be an appropriate use of the land closest to I-694. In 1976 the City reviewed a request by Burlington Northern and Carl T. George, Georgetown Motel, to rezone a 4.6 acre parcel adjacent to I-694. The rezoning would remove the parcel from the City's industrial land inventory and allow a C-2, General business designation to accoYmnodate a motel and restaurant. In 1977 the rezoni.ng request to allow the Georgetown Motel/restaurant development was approved. Neither the restaurant or the Georgetown Motel complex was ever built. The land from that point was marketed as a coaanerciai/ industrial opportunity. The City has received several inquiries for the 14.5 acres for industrial development; to date, no formal requests have been made. 2 � �� � 11 . ...... .. .... EpALIIATION OF TSE COMPREHENSIVS PLAN AMENUMENT CR�Tr'RIA Compatibility of the Prcposed IIse with the Proposed District The proposed use of the site is a series of 3 retail entities totalling 142,316 s.f. The speculative retail uses are consistent with the language of the C-3 district. A C-3 zoning designation is consistent with a Comprehensive designation of Comnercial. Compatib3lity of the Proposed District with ABjacent Oses and Zoninq The land use plan in the City's Comprehensive Plan has the subject parcel designated as Industrial. The land to the east of this parcel is designated Co�matercial on the Comprehensive Plan. A C-3, General Shopping Center complex exists on this parcel. The Comprehensive Plan designates the areas north, west and south as Industrial. Industrial uses now occupy a majority of the land in this area. ** gTIPIILATION** The Comprehensive Plan Amen�tent shall be approved only after the City has approved ZoA #95-04, PS �95-02, and SP #95-05. Impact on Metro�litan Systems r"� The following criteria are based on criteria used by the Metropolitan Council to evaluate plan amenclmen'ts- � Chanqea to IIrban Service BounBary The City of Fridley is a first-ring suburb tliat is entirely within the Urban Service Boundaries as Defined by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (Minn. Stats. 473.851-473.872). Impact to the boundary do not apply i.n to this proposal. Chanqes to Timinq and Btaqinq of IIrban 8ervice Area - Staging of the Urban Service area does not apply to this proposal si.nce the area is within the existing urban service area. Wastewater Treatment There will be no increase in the amount of wastew water treatment as a result of changing the land use from Industrial to Coimnercial. DisCh3rge to More Than One Metropolitan Intei'ceptor The flow from this amended area goes to 4-IdS-521 in accordance with regional plans. The flows will not be diverted from one interceptor to another. 3 A modest increase in the number of vehicle northbound trips on Ma�.ra Street from the development area south of Highway 694 is also anticipated. The traffic study also revealed a degradation of service level at the intersection of Main Street and 57th Avenue N.E. The pre- development level drops from an °A�� (from east approach) to�'a °D/B" (east west approach) The City Council has asked for additional information regarding the traffic aspects of this proposal. Specifically, the Council requested additional information r�arding the intersections of 53rd Ave N.E., 61st Ave N.E. and trip origination. ** BTIPIILATION ** The Petitioner shall be responsible for the aost of the traffia improveaneats neaes$arp to accommodate the traffia qenerated by the development includinq siqnalization or other improvements as determined by Anoka County or MnDot now or in the future. The City must determine whether the extension of the University/57th Avenue conmaercial node west of Main Street is appropriate. As an entire Industrial parcel (assuming the rezoning of the 4.7 acre parcel to Industrial), the potential traffic count would likely be lower. This asswnption is based on staff's use of the Barton Aschman average daily trip generation numbers for a manufacturi.ng/office complex. Though the Barton Aschman figures account for less than 10 acres of Industrial, staff multiplied the potential building size by 3(109 x 3= 327,300) and�determined that even at 3 times the average daily trips, a manufactur3ng/office complex would produce 105 less daily trips.

BTIPDLATIONB AND REOOI�NDATION Since the Planning Coamnission recoimnended on a 4-1 vote to change n the zoning, a recoimnendation to amend the land use plan is appropriate. �� Staff recoaunends denial of rezoning request CPA #95-01 given our previous recoaanendation to deny the rezoning. If the Coamaission elects to reconimend approval of this request, staff recommends the following stipulations: 1. Approvals of ZOA 95-04, PS 95-02, and SP 95-05 2.

Technical Memorandum for Phase 2 Home Depot Traffic Study: 1�affic Impact Study Home Depot USA, Inc. proposes to develop a site located in Fridley, Minnesota. The site is approximately 14.5 acres and is surrounded by 57th Avenue NE to the north, Main Street to the east, I-694 to the south, and Burlington Northern Railroad to the west. The proposed site development would include a 103,550 square foot Home Depot store alongside an unspecified retail development consisting of 26,600 square feet. A 5,000 square foot outlot i� also being proposed and could consist of a restaurant use. Access to the site would be provided via two driveways along Main Street. One driveway would be located opposite 57th Avenue NE and the other between 420 and 560 feet to the south. � Barton-Aschman was retained by Greenberg Farrow to complete a traffic impact study for this proposal. The study takes a traditional approach toward the determination of the traffic impact of the proposed development. Specifically, the study addresses: �"1 • Analysis of existing traffic conditions. • �ip generation of the proposed development. • Post-development forecasts of traffic volumes on the surrounding' street system. • Intersection capacity analysis at key driveways and intersections surrounding the site. • Identification of traffic impacts and recommendations regarding improvements to the local infrastructure surrounding the development. E%IISTING CONDITIONS There exists a number of roadways within the vicinity of the site. Figure 1 shows the surrounding street system and the corresponding average annual daily traffic volumes. The site is about one-quarter of a mile west of the Interstate 694/University Avenue tState Highway 57) interchange.

The other primary north-south street in the area is Main Street (County ftoad 102). It is a two- lane roadway with parking lanes on both sides.

Shared trips account for shoppers who make a trip to more than one development within the property. Shared trip rates are influenced by the compatibility of the different developments on the site. A shared trip rate of 10 percent was applied to the trip generation sub-totals shown in Table 1. � A further modi.fication to the "raw" trip generation sub-total in Table 1 was made to reflect pass-by trip behavior. Z'his does not reduce the trip generation for the developmen� Rathex°, it assumes that a proportion of the development traffic is already on the street system and is diverted to the development. Pass-by trip percentages will typically vary by development type. A pass-by trip rate of 25 percent was applied to the restaurant property. ITE studies have indicated that pass-by trip rates range from 25 to 56 percent for fast-food restaurants. The pass-by trip rate used is appropriate given the relatively low tra�c volumes on Main Avenue. Because the proposed development would require a change in zoning, two alternative development scenarios that represent the range of options allowable under the existing zoning regulations were evaluated for comparison purpases. Z�rip generation for the alternative development scenarios were determined using the ITE Tizp Generation Manual. The land uses selected were based upon their compatibility wit,h surrounding land uses, number of similar land uses in the area, and accessibility to the site. The purpose of creating the alternative scenarios were to determine what impact the change in zoni.ng would have on trip generation. The scenarios should not imply that the land would be developed as described. Rather, they represents examples of how the land could be developed, recognizing the constraints outlined above. The first alternative scenario developed includes a?8.100 square foot manufacturing buildiag with an additiona131,000 square feet of accompanying business offices on the property zoned M-2. The G21and uses would include a 12-pleu movie theater (about 50,000 � square feet) and a 5,OU0 square foot fast food restaurant without a drive-through window. 7 i'"'� to 4,000 vpd. Fifty-Seventh Avenue NE is a four-lane roadway between Mai.n Street and University Avenue. The average annuai daily traffic volume along this segment is 5,300 vpd. T�uning movement volumes were collected in Apri11994 at the following tl�u'ee intersections near the site for the weekday P-M. peak hour of traffic, at the direction of the City of Fridley. r- �� University Avenue and 57th Avenue NE • Mai.n Street and 57th Avenue NE • Main Street and 61st Avenue NE The peak hour was determined to be from 4:30 to 5:30 P.M. Figure 2 shows the turning movement volumes d„*�� tlie weekday P.M. peak hour. A capacity analysis was performed for the P.M. peak hour at each of the three intersections usi.ng standard Highway Capa.city Macnual methodology. The results of the analysis are suinmarized in terms of a level of service, which is a measure of the average delay experienced by motorists as they attempt to travel through an intersection. Level of service is expressed in terms of a letter grade ranging from A through F. Level of Service A is representative of very little delay while Level of Service F represents excessive delay. For signalized intersections in urban areas, Level of Service D is generally considered to be acceptable for peak hour operations. Level of Service E is usually acceptable for stop- controlled intersections. �"� Table 1 summarizes the level of service analysis for each of the three intersections. i"''� TABLE 1 INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE SUMMAKY--EXISTIl�TG P.M. PEAK HOUR CONDITIONS Intersection University Avenue/57th Avenue NE Mai.n Street/57th Avenue NE Mai.n Street/61st Avenue NE East approach Level of Service D A1 A Field observations of the three intersections were generally consistent with the above analysis. However, the observed traffic patterns at University Avenue/57th Street NE did pose some concerns. Specifically, traffic northbound on University Avenue is frequently backed-up to the Interstate 694 off ramp. Consequently, traffic merging onto University Avenue from the off ramp that is destined to make a left-turn onto 57th Avenue NE has a difficult time making the necessary lane changes. 3 Past ITE studies indicate that pass-by trip rates for supermarkets typically range from 9 to ^ 56 percent. A pass-by trip rate of 10 percent was applied to the supermarket, reflecting the low traffiic volumes on the ac�jacent street.

It was determined bY the City of Fridley that the P.M. peak hour of traffic should govern the analysis. Trip generation was determined using the most recent edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual. This manual is the standard source for trip generation rates for various development types. Table 2 summarizes the estimated trip generation of the development.

Shared trip rates are influenced by the compatibility of the different developments on the site. A shared trip rate of 10 percent was applied to the trip generation sub-totals shown in Table 2. A further modification to the "raw" trip generation sub-total in Table 2 was made tc� reflect pass-by trip behavior. This does not reduce the trip generation for the development. R,ather, it assumes that a proportion of the development traffic is already on the street system and is diverted to the development. Pass-by trip percentages will typicaIlY varY by development type. A pass-by trip rate of 25 percent was applied to the restaurant property. IT'E studies have indicated that pass-by trip rates range from 25 to 56 percent for fast-food restaurants. The pass-by trip rate used is appropriate given the relatively low traffic volumes on Main Avenue. As Table 2 indicates, 525 trips will be generated by the site during the weekday P.M. peak hour. The distribution of those trips is expected to be roughly 50 percent in an.d 50 percent out. 5 TR.IP DISTR.IBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT The new trips generated by the development were distributed to the surroun � network accor � street dvng to the trip distribution on Figure 3. The trip distribution was determined using a market study provided by Home Depot for the proposed site. The market study was useful in identifying the trade area for the proposed site. Socioeconomic data (number of households) for every traffic an.alysis zone within the trade area was obtained fr�n Metropolitan Council and was subsequently aggregated into regions according to desirable travel paths. Thus, each region represented a grouping of traffic analysis zones having trips (which were in direct proportion to the number of households) accessing the site from a particular roadway (ultimately either Main Street or 57th Avenue NE. As Figure 3 indicates, it was determined that most of the traffic would access the site from 57th Avenue NE. �gure 4 shows the total post-development traffic during the weekday P.M. peak hour. It represents the sum of the existing traffic and new site traffic less pass-by trips. SIGNAL WARRANr ANALYSIS A signal warrant analysis based on Minnesota Manual on Uniform 1�affic Control Devices (MMUTCD) methodology was conducted for the intersection of Main Street and 57th Avenue NE. The analysis was performed using existing traffic volumes and post-development volumes for the average weekday P.M. peak hour. The results of the analysis are shown on Figure 5. In order for this location to satisfy the ,� peak hour volume warrant criteria, the particular combination of traffic volumes entering the intersection would have to fall above the lowest of the three curves shown (1 Lane and 1 Lane). As Figure 5 indicates, neither scenario warranted a traffic signal based upon peak hour volumes. However, other MMUTCD warrant criteria may be satisfied. It is � recommended that the intersection be monitored periodically to determine if this is the case. POST-DEVELOPMENT LEVEL OF SEKVICE ANALYSIS A level of service analysis similar to that performed for the existing traffic volumes was agai.n conducted for the post-development volumes. Table 3 summarizes the analysis and also provides a comparison against the results for the existing volumes. � 6 ,. ... ,.: . ..... :.:, .... ... .. ,. � L_ _' J� J 1• l•.J �i-1; :.'3: gS L1: iJ6 F�1 G1° 33� 613U �\ � < . r C + r -� ^ - - - � � � i StTE � L _ _., ___.� .

The reason for the change in level of service at that location is in part due to the change from a T-intersection to a four- legged intersection. Level of Service D is generally acceptable for this type of intersection, however. The analysis assumed that this intersection would have two-way stop control (e.g. traffic on Main Street would not be required to stop). It should also be noted that the post- development level of service analysis at t,he signalized intersection (University Avenuel57th Avenue NE) was performed using signal timing parameters similar to those used for the existing conditions analysis. This min;mizes disruption to traffic progression along ,� University Avenue. CONCLUSIONS The following conclusions are made concerning the traffc impacts of the development: 1. Despite the additional tra�c that will be generated by the development, the intersections that were studied will maintain their current levels of service. The only intersection to experience a drop in level of service is at Main Street and 57th Avenue NE. However, this intersection will operate at Level of Service D which is generally acceptable for this type of intersection. Also, the warrant analysis indicated that this intersection does not warrant a traffic signal based on peak hour volumes. 2. No improvements are required at the intersection of University Avenue and 57th Avenue NE as a result of the additional traffic generated by the site. However, certain existing deficiencies (not related to proposed development) were identified. These included: (1) traffic queues extending south along University Avenue from 53rd Avenue NE to a point near the intersection with the Interstate 694 north ramps, and (2) an undesirable weaving pattern for northbound motorists merging onto University Avenue from the Interstate 694 off-ramp and destined to turn left unto 53rd Avenue NE. 3. As a result, the Home Depot development will not significantly impact negatively the �„� traffic conditions at the locations studied. 10 � pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGS 23 neighborhood.

Mr. Hickok stated this is a request by Home Depot, Inc. to �r����� the"property located west of Main Street south of a line stra�.��� across from 57th Avenue N.E. between the Burlington Northerr' property and Main Street, north of Hiqhway 694. . Mr. Hickok stated that the current zoninq on the property is a combination of M-2, Heavy Industrial (9.8 acresj, and C-2, General Business (4.2 acres). The requested use of the site would allow a site plan of nearly 144,000 square feet for retail sales. The primary user for the facility would be 111,716 square foot Home Depot facility. Home Depot is a large home improvement retailer founded in 1978 in Georqia. This would be one of the first Home Depot stores in the metropolitan area. The requested zoning to aliow this facility to be constructed is C-3, General Shopping Center. Mr. Hickok stated the Comprehensive Plan issue is one that would � require an amendment, removinq 14.5 acres from the Industrial land inventory in Fridley and changing it to Commercial. This amendment would have to be aAprnved by the City Council and i"1 � PLANPiIN(3 COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 25 forinalized through the Metropolitan Council. Mr, Hickok stated the second of the issues involves the rezoning of the-existing industrial and commercial zoning to an all commercial site of 14.5 acres. Mr. Hickflk stated the third issue would be the loss of the City's largest remaining industrial parcel. Mr. Hickok stated the fourth issue involves extending the existing commercial node further to the west of University Avenue into what becomes a second-tier of commercial activity west of Main Street. Mr. Hickok stated the fifth deals with traffic concerns as they relate to the site. First, the volume generated by 14.5 acres of commercial has been calculated by Barton-Aschman & Associates who represent the developer on the traffic issues. The consultant has provided numbers as staff has requested which would give the City a comparative analysis between the development of this site as C-3 as requested and also what would happen to the traffic numbers in the event that site developed as it is currently zoned. The volume of all commercial traffic will nearly match the current zoninq. The industrial portion of the site has a lower volume of traffic. In the event that the entire site was industrial and one took those numbers two or three times just for comparison sake using the entire site rather than just the 9.8 acres, traffic would be in the area of closer to 500 average daily trips as opposed to the anticipated 525 to 720 Home Depot trips. Mr. Hickok stated that access to the site would be via l-694, crossing University Avenue (Hwy. 47) turning to the left at 57th Avenue to appraach the new facility. Southbound traffic on University Avenue would turn right onto 61st Avenue. Barton- Aschman & Associates has done some traffic counts at these intersections to provide more detail about the movements in the - current traffic seen at those corners. There are also some unknown impacts. There is visibility to I-694 but there is not direct access to 694. What is meant by unknown impacts is the traffic movements through secondary streets to find the site. Finally, there is no access to the west. 57th Avenue would serve the site from University Avenue and from the north and south, Main Street would serve the site. Mr. Hickok stated that staff's recommendation on the rezoning related to some questions about traffic impacts. The rezoning of �'� this land also has the requests for the preliminary plat and special use permit somewhat hinged. � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 26 Mr. Hickok provided information to the commissioners in regard to the consideration of the preliminary plat request. He sta`Eed the current lot configuration at this time is one large lot. The proposed lot configuration would provide for Lot 1 which would be 10.6 acres (Home Depot sitej, Lot 2 which would be 2.7 acres (an unknown retailer that would own their own site but be attached to the Home Depot store), and Lot 3 which would be 1.2 acres (potential fast food sitej for a total of 14.5 acres. Mr. Hickok stated the Engineering Staff and Planning staff reviewed information and noted that Lot 2 frontage onto Main Street had been an issue earlier. They were just given a new site plan which reworks the frontage of Lot 2 and also some of the site access issues that were brought up by Anoka County. The remaining issues were access drive locations and circulation, necessity for cross parki.ng easements {the site pian is designed in a manner that would allow cross parkingj, necessity for interior utility agreements (it would be the desire of the Engineering staff to loop the utilities so that water does not stagnate in the utility system and therefore the loop system would require interior utility agreements) and necessity for street and utility easements (the county has indicated that they � do not see a need for additional right of way width at�Main Street however the Public Works Department has historically required a 15 foot bikeway/walkway easement along the west side of Main �Street as those sites developj. , Mr. Hickok stated the county has given the City a letter � indicating two access points should be the maximum for this site and in response to this letter, the developer has provided a site plan that shows a re configured southern access point that is further away form 694 than originally proposed and to the north the access has been modi.fied with some anticipation on the site plan of getting permission to line up that access point with the intersection. The county did indicate that they would like to see that be lined up and a full access intersection which would require some additional land acquisition or at least agreements with the property owners to the north. Mr. Hickok noted that Home Depot, Inc. would like to construct a 27,972 square fvot outdoor qarden center. The code requires that garden centers and nurseries that are outside have a Special Use Permit prior to construction. The center would be attached to the store. The summary of issues related to this request are 1) the architectural detail should be consistent with the primary structure; n. 2j no off-season storage in the garden center area of other garden materials; '^1 � i"1 pLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 27 3) no outdoor sales or storage of fertilizer, pesticides or other potential pollutants; 4) .adequate parking must be available to accommodate-the g�rden center customers; 5) no plant sales outside of the fence detail are to take place. Mr. Hickok stated that in all of the three uses, staff has recommended that the commission open the public hearing, take public comments and table the action until May 3rd. The site plan was just received and the staff has not had an opportunity to fully evaluate the modifications in the site plan as they relate to storm water run-off and some of the other issues. Mr. Kondrick stated it is his understanding that access to this property will come from three different places; 57th Avenue past Holiday, another would be 61st Avenue west to Main Street and down to the site and the third would be across the bridge and then to University Avenue. He was wondering how many cars they e�cpect to generate. Mr. Sielaff asked about the issue of loading and unloading at the front part of the buiiding. Mr. Hickok stated in discussions with the representative of Home Depot, this is an important part of their retail operations. This portion of the building front to back is warehouse lumber and it gives an opportunity for the customers to drive up under the canopy and have their lumber loaded into the vehicle at that overhead door. Staff did express some concerns about a loading dock on the front of the building and the impacts of that. The developer has responded by saying that they are lookinq at alternatives to having the door viewed from Main Street. Mr. Hickok noted�that there is a kneewall which is in front of that overhead door, but stated the developer could provide further information in regard to this issue�. Mr. iiickok stated the code as it is written states that loading docks be located in the side yard or the rear yard of the facility. In the case of the Holiday Plus store, located near the proposed development site, he noted that it is located at the side yard and they do have some loading in the rear yard. The proposed Home Depot is designed to face Main Street. Mr. Hickok stated if the land were to be developed today with the M-2 and C-2 designations, lwith a typical industrial use on the M-2 and a typical commercial use on C-2, possibly a theater) the trade-off in car counts was a very insiqnificant difference. In terms of issue of where that traffic might be coming from, staff did ask the developer in past discussions, to look at 57th Avenue as cars come off from University Avenue through the intersection 11 ��� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 29 Mr. Piatt stated yes, it will be completely enclosed by glass. They sell a lot of very large office-type plants. It is �n actual greenhouse. - Mr. Kondrick asked how the size of the facility compares to Menards. Mr. Platt stated that Home Depot is bigger by 40% than most Menards stores in the area. They merchandise their qoods on pallets. It is very similar to a warehouse operation. One difference from Menards is Home Depot does not have an outdoor lumber yard. � Mr. Oquist asked where other materials such as dirt, cement, block and patio blocks are sold. Mr. Platt stated these materials are sold out of the outdoor area but that is in an area that is behind the greenhouse area. Mr. Sielaff asked if the trip generation comparison which was completed by Barton-Aschman & Associates was for just retail ^ customers. Mr. Platt responded yes. Mr. Sielaff asked about supply trucks or delivery trucks. Mr. Platt stated Home Depot receives most of its goods via common carrier includinq their lumber and so a lot of the truck traffic depends on the volume of the store, etc. Their basic receiving hours are 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. He would have to assume that it would be similar to any other retail operation that has.common carrier service. This might be esti.mated at 15 trucks per day including UPS, RPS, etc. Mr. Sielaff asked if the delivery trucks have large trailers. Mr. Platt stated sometimes a delivery truck will come in with one pallet of goods - it may have a number of deliveries to different locations. Mr. Saba asked how soon they would be planning to begin construction of the facility. Mr. Platt stated they would like to begin as soon as possible. They would really like to be enclosed before the frost sets in this Fall. '-`'� Mr. oquist asked if there would be any concerns about the additional truck traffic on the streets. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 30 Mr. Hickok stated he did not foresee a problem as these roads were designed for industrial users. F- Mr. Kondrick asked if there were any concerns with trucks being able to make the turns at the Main Street and 57th Avenue intersection. Mr. Greg Frank, representinq Home Depot, stated some type of easement may be requested, however even without it, they feel they could still have a workable intersection. The trucks would most likely come in off 57th Avenue. Getting out of the lot may be a bit more difficult for them. Ms. McPherson stated that she had a conversation with Mr. Richard Murphy who owns a warehouse near the site and he indicated that their trucks are utilizing 57th Avenue as well as coming off of East River Road. He did foresee a problem. Ms. Paul LaDuke of Lino Lakes stated they own the lot on 57th Avenue and 57th Place. Holiday owns the empty lot next to theirs. They have had a chance to sell, but Holiday does not want to sell. Their lot would certainly be accessible to Home Depot for their trucks to turn around, but they may not be able to get Holiday to sell their lot. Mr. Paul"I�Duke of Lino Lakes stated as a customer, if he were• coming east on 694, he would probably chose to exit on Univers�ty Avenue, go right for approximately one block and then go through the neighborhood to get to Main Street. Mr. Newman informed Mr. platt that the staff has recommended that the Planning Commission table action until May 3rd, and asked-if these are time tables the Home Depot can live with. Mr. Platt stated this was discussed at a meeting with the staff. If the Planning Commission feels they need more time, it is acceptable to�them. Mr. Newman stated this would allow staff to review the new site plan. He noted that they would plan to continue the Public Hearing on May 3rd. He asked the commissioners to comment on the proposal. Mr. Saba stated he has been in a Home Depot store and he was very impressed with the overall cleanliness and quality of the operation. i'�1 �, Mr. Oquist stated he feels the proposal looks like a nice � package.

He asked if staff could foresee any problems with �",� pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAC�E 31 Metro Council in regard to the rezoning of the property. Mr. Hickok stated the Metropolitan Council will analyze fr�m a sewer standpoint and from a transportation standpoint and they will look at the City's Comprehensive Plan and whether there are any deficiencies in the updates. Al1 of these will be a part of the equation as they evaluate minor amendments. He would anticipate that this will be only a minor amendment and something they should be able to move forward, however he cannot guarantee this. Staff will start working with Metro Council on this issue so that things can work simultaneously and will stress to Metro Council the urgency of Home Depot's schedule. Mr. Kondrick stated he also has been in a Home Depot store. He feels they have a good reputation and would be an asset to our community. Ms. Modig stated she feels it looks like a good plan. Mr. Sielaff stated his only concern is about traffic. He stated when he comes off of 694 coming from the east and tries to get � all the way over to the left lane on University Avenue he sometimes has difficulty, especially during peak hours. � Mr. Newman stated he does have a concern about the loss of a large industrial site. They are a rare premium. The proposal itself he has no problem with.

INC.: To rezone from C-2, General Business, and M-2, Heavy Industrial, to C-3, General Shopping Center District, located on Tract A, Registered Land Survey #130, generally located north of I-694 and east of East River Road. � � i�?�� /"� � � � JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL QQALITY pAGE 9 & ENERGY COMMI88ION MEETING MAY 3 1995 � MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to remove fromrthe table and to re-open the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE �OTION�CARRIEDNAND�THE pIIBLICC�I��ING OPENATC8s35 DECLARED THE M _ , P.M. - Mr. Iiickok stated the request is threefold. The first of the three requests is a rezoning request for 14.5 acres located west of Main Street just east of the Burlington Northern rail line and north of I-694. At the April meeting, the commission had an in depth discussion about the proposal, and staff had a number of items they wanted to tresent the rezoni g request�withla evening, staff is prepar p recommendation. Mr. Hickok stated the request relates to a combination of properties including 9.8 acres of M-2, Heavy Industrial, and 4.7 acres of C-2, General Business. The proposal is for a large retail complex containing 142,316 square feet of retail space. Of that, Home Depot would be the primary user using 103,550 square feet and there would be an attached garden center using 27,972 square feet; an attached retail space with 26,600 square feet; and a detached peripheral retail facility with 5,000 square feet. Mr. Hickok stated there are issues related to this request. First, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to remove 14.5 acres from the industrial inventory would be required. On the City Comprehensive Plan, the land use plan shows the industrial designated land. West of Main Street, there is a large industrial development area. The City does have other large industrial development areas in the northern portion of the City. Across from this site, there is a commercial property that is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center. North of 57th Avenue is commercial property zoned C-2, General Business. The primary roads in this area are I-694 and University�Avenue to 57th which would serve this site. Mr. Hickok stated an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is moving along. Staff has prepared an application to begin the amendment to the plan. Staff will run that simultaneously so that would be forwarded to the City Council and the Metropolitan Council would be notified of the modifications. Much of the modification is staff paperwork. � Mr. Hickok stated the property is currently zoned M-2, Heavy Industrialenter Cto�theneast anaic-�2S�General Business�norrth of C:::. . C � Sh in oPP g � JOINT pLANNZNG COMMIS�IpN AND ENVIRONMENTAL UALZTY � & ENERGY COMMISgION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGE 10 57th Avenue and east of the site. There is M-2, Heavy �- Industrial, to the north, to the west, and to the south_ Mr. Hickok stated one issue is that this rezoning would mean the loss of the City's largest remaining industrial parcel. Loaking at this-site, the 14.5 acres is not all industrial. at this tiffie but a combination of-C-2 and M-2. The Comprehensive Plan is designated entirely for industrial at this time. In terms o� �1�e Plan, if this weze rezoned to an industrial use, an amendmenf would not be necessary. ��. � - Mr. Hickok stated there were tr�ffic concerns discussed at the last meeting and these have been discussed with the Home Depot traffic analysts. He is very pleased with their very complete traffic analysis related to this project. The zoning as it exists today with the combination of heavy industrial and commercial would generate nearly an identical number amount of traffic to this rezoned use at C-3. In the staff report, there is information on.what an industrial user might expect in average daily trips and that is considerably lower. There are some existinq conditions. The northbound IIniversity lanes back up occasionaliy at the 57th Avenue intersection under current f conditions. Cars exiting I-694 qoing northbound on University t,_ are forced to travel across a number of lanes to turn left on 57th• 57th Avenue has a service level of "D". The number of cars that would be generated by the Home Depot would not take ,i�.t beyond the "D" service level. An impact that you might expect is at the intersection of Main Street and 57th Avenue. This intersection is currently in an "A" candition. With development of this site, staff could expect degradation in movement at this intersection to a "D" condition. Mr. Hickok stated they had asked for more information on where the traffic would be coming from. They anticipate that 60% of the traffic would be on 57th Avenue, 30g south of 57th along Main Street; and 10% using the area narth of 57th on Main Street. This would be the distribution during peak hours which is the worse case scenario. Mr. Kondrick asked if these numbers reflect what is happening now or what is expected to happen after development. Mr. Hickok stated this is based on the Home Depot impact to the roadways after development. � � Mr. Hickok stated one aoncern is exactly what are the numbers that might use 61st Avenue to get to the site. There is some ^ impact. The study looked at pre and post development traffic ry counts. There is a difference of 17o tri s �� 197 post-development making its way up Mai.n StreetetoP6lst,and � ,� � u.. .... . .:. . . . JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL OOALITY & ENERGY COMMI83ION MEETING, MAY 3, 1995 PAGE 11 Travelling 61st to Main, this goes from 45 trips pre to 71�-trips post during peak hours. The total and south different is just over one car per minute. There are increases at the intersections but staff is looking at whether the roadways are equipped to handle it. At the last meeting, someone had asked if the Main.Street and 57th.Avenue intersection was equipped ta handle the traffic that might be expected from this development. According to Barton-Aschman, the level of service at IIniversity and 57th would be "D" pre and post development; Main Street and 57th would be "A" pre and "D/B" post development; Main Street and 61st Avenue would remain "A" pre and post development. The analysis gives a better feel for what this development will do in terms of impact to the neiqhborho�l. The degradation of Main Street and 57th from an °A" to a pB" or "D" is of concern and is tied to a stipulation on the development stating the petitioner would be responsible for the cost of any traffic improvements as a result of this development. Mr. Kondrick intersection County would property. asked if anything else was done to resolve the question. At the meeting, it was stated that Anoka like 57th Avenue aligned with the entrance to the Mr. Hickok stated that intersection has been indicated on the most recent site plan with an offset alignment with the potential for a"T" intersection. These are tied to negotiations with the property owner to the north. Staff wants the County's preference carried through and would like the intersection aligned if approved. Mr. Hickok stated access to the site has been taken care of alonq with the traffic issues and any unknown impacts. Mr. Hickok stated the City has its most discretion in the case of a rezoning. With that, staff analyzed the land use pattern; looked at the City's interest in industrial development; and looked at the 1993 amendment to the code which allowed an M-3, outdoor intensive heavy industrial district. The purpose of that was to preserve the remaining industrial land available in the community. Because of the island of commercial that would be created, it would bump commercial use beyond Main Street to the west, and it breaks an established pattern of M-2 with a possible controlled intersection created, staff recommends denial of the rezoning request. However, if the Planning Commission chooses to recommend approval of the request, staff recommends the following stipulations: 1. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be required if this 14.5 � acre parcel is to be rezoned. All fees related to processing the amendment will be born by the petitioner. � JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION AND ENVIRONMENTAL pUALITX � & ENERGY COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 3, 1995 P�1GE 12 2.

Mr. Hickok has done a good job of presenting JOINT PI,ANNING COMMISSION AND ENVYRONMENTAL pUALITY & ENERGY COMMI33ION MEETING MAY 3 1995 PAGE 14 overview of the project and thanked staff for their input on the site plans. _ Mr. Platt stated this is the second meeting regarding the appropriateness of rezoning this property. As staff inentioned, there have made many revisivns to the site plan-to.comply with. the requests. So far, they have no problems with anything they have been asked to do_ They do ask the Planning Commission to consider rezoning this property. They.are of the opinion that rezoning will not adversely affect the existing neighborhood nor put much of an additional strain on the existing infrastructure. He understands staff's concern regarding industrial property. Mr. Platt stated Home Depot would employ approximately 200 employees with 75$ of those jobs being full-time. Regarding the traffic situation and the corner of Main and 57th, they stand ready to stand by the requirement to add signage or pay for any improvements for that intersection. The staff report mentioned, with the development of Home Depot, they basically would see about 105 extra trips per day to the site as opposed to developing it entirely as industrial or about 7 tri.ps per hour. Their peak hours are not at the same time as for industrial or office users. The majority of their business is done of Friday evenings or �aturdays. They don't have the same kind of traffic in the area from the existing industrial uses that they would have at that time. He thought, based on the stipulations that� the staff has recommended, they stand ready to agree with all n=f those with the exception to stipulation �5 regarding the billboards. That is out of there hands. The property owner has recorded legal easements for the billboards. He thought that issue was best left to be dealt with between staff and the property owner in another setting. That is an issue they do flot have any controi over. Mr. Platt stated, if the Commission recommends approval, they look forward to breaking ground this year and would like to be open during tll�e summer of 1996.

The purpose of this memo is to describe changes to Section 205.24, "Creek and River Preservation District Regulations". Seation 205.24 Creek and River Preservation (Floodplain) District Changes History/Purpose The current Creek and River Preservation District regulations were originally adopted in 1987. In 1988, the Federal Emergency Management Agency adopted a variety of changes to this district. The original ardinance created CRP-1 (Floodway) and CRP-2 (Flood fringe) districts. The purpose of the district regulations was to curtail development in the floodway and permit development which met minimum standards in the flood fringe district. These regulations included establishing minimum first-floor elevations for habitable dwellings and required the issuance of a special use permit prior to development in the flood fringe. A graphic is attached showing the difference between the floodplain and flood fringe areas. Proposed Chanqes The 1988 changes include the following: 1. Establishment of a third district entitled "General Floodplain District", which includes all "Unnumbered A Zones" depicted on the National Flood Insurance Rate Map. Public Hearing on Revised Floodplain Ordinance June 15, 1995 Page 2 2. Additional standards for manufactured homes, manufactured , home parks, and placement of travel trailers and travel vehicles (the City does not have nor permit placement of these structures within the existing CRP-1 or CRP-2 districtj. There were no changes to the existing setback or minimum elevation requirements or special use permit requirements in the CRP-1 or the CRP-2 districts. The boundaries of the districts as indicated on the City's official Zoning Map will not change. �mpaat to Residents The proposed changes to the district regulations should not impact the City of Fridley residents. The existinq minimwa standards and the area which is affected will not change as a result of the proposed changes. Section 205.25. Critical Area Ragulations e s r"1 As a result of the Wayne Dahl variance request in 1994, the City Council directed staff to amend Section 205.25 to include � notification of the Environmental Quality Board for all variance requests in the Critical Area. Staff will prepare this ordinance amendment for review with the floodplain ordinance. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct the publia hearing and recommend that the City Council approve the ordinance amendment. 14Il�I/dw M-95-348 � i i"� PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION Notice is hereby given that there will be a Public Hearing of the Fridley Planning Commission at the Fridley Municipal Cent��� ��31 University Avenue N.E. on Wednesday, June 21, 1995 at 7:30 pam. for th� purpose of: AN ORDINANCE RECODIFYING THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, CHAPTER 205, ENTITLED "ZONING", BY AMENDING SECTION 205.25.8.C, AND REPE��IIdG SECTION 205.24.

All Permitted Uses shall comply with the following standards: (1) All structures, including accessory structures, must be elevated on fill so that the lowest floor including basement floor is at or above the - Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. The finished fill elevation for structures shall be no lower than one (1) foot below the Regulatory floocl Protection Elevation and the fill shall extend at such elevation at least fifteen (15j feet beyond the outside limits of the structure erected thereon. (2) As an alternative to elevation on fill, accessory structures that constitute a minimal investment and that do next exceed 500 square feet for the outside dimension at ground level may be internally flood proofed in accordance with Section 205.24.04.B.(1).(c). � �"`� 6 � (3) The cumulative placement of fill where at any one time in excess of one-thousand (1,000) cubic yards of fill is located on the parcel shall be allowable only as a Conditional Use, unless said fill is specifically intended to elevate a structure in accordance with Section 205.24.05.A.(1). (4) The storage of any materials or equipment shall be elevated on fill to the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. B. Uses Permitted with a Special Use Permit and Standards Any structure that is not elevated on fill oro�land useaofd in accordance with Section 205.24.05.A.(1,2) Y land that does not comply with the standards in Section 205.24.05.A.(3,4). The use shall comply with the following standards: (1) Alternative elevation methods other than the use of fill may be utilized to elevate a structure's lowest floor above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. These alternative methods may include the use of stilts, pilings, parallel walls, etc., or above-grade, enclosed areas such as crawl �"'� spaces or tuck under garages. The base of floor of any enclosed area shall be considered above- grade and not a structure's basement or lowest floor if: a) the enclosed area is above-grade on at least one side of the structure; b) it is designed to internally flood and is constructed with flood resistant materials; and c) it is used solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage. The above-noted alternative elevation methods are subject to the following additional standards: - (a) The structure's design and as-built . condition must be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect as being in compliance with the general design standards of the State Building Code and, specifically, that all electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities must be at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation or be designed to prevent flood water from entering or accumulating within these �'^� 7 components during times of flooding. � (b) Above-grade fully enclosed areas such as crawl spaces or tuck under garages must be designed to internally flood and the design plans must stipulate: (1) The minimum area of openings in the walls where internal flooding is to be used as a flood proofing technique. When openings are gYaced in a struc�ure's walls to provide for entry of flood waters to equalize pressures, the bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one-foot above grade. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of flood waters. (2) That the enclosed area will be designed of flood resistant materials in accordance with the FP-3 or FP-4 classifications in the State Building Code and shall be used solely for building access, /"1 parking of vehicles or storage. (2) Basements, as defined by Section 205.23.04.D, shall be subject to the following standards: (a) Residential basement construction shall not be allowed below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. (b) Non-residential basements may be allowed below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation provided the basement is structurally dry flood proofed in accordance with Section 5.43 of this Ordinance. (3) All areas of non residential structures including basements to be placed below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation shall be flood proofed in accordance with the structurally dry flood proofing classifications in the State Building Code. Structurally dry flood proofing must meet the FP-1 or FP-2 flood proofing classification in the State Building Code and this shall require �`;j /� � „ � making the structure watertight with the walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and the effects of buoyancy. Structures flood proofed to the FP-3 or FP-4 classification shall not be permitted. (4) When at any one time more than 1,000 cubic yards of fill or other similar material is located on a parcel for such activities as on-site storage, landscaping, sand and gravel operations, landfills, roads, dredge spoil disposal or construction of flood control works, an erosion/sedimentation control plan must be submitted unless the community is enforcing a state approved shoreland management ordinance. In the absence of a state approved shoreland ordinance, the plan must clearly specify methods to be used to stabilize the fill on site for a flood event at a minimum of the 100-year or regional flood event. The plan must be prepared and certified by a registered professional engineer or other qualified individual acceptable to the Governing Body. The plan may incorporate alternative procedures for removal of the material ^ from the flood plain if adequate flood warning time exists. (5) Storage of materials and equipment subject to the following standards: (a) The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, e�cplosive, or potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited. (b) Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed if readily removable from the area within the time available after a flood warning and in accordance with a plan approved by the Governing Body. (c) The provisions of Section 205.24.05.0 of this Ordinance shall also apply. C. Additional Standards (1) All new principal structures must have vehicular access at or above an elevation more than two (2) feet below the Regulatory Flood Protection r"� 9 Elevation. If a variance to this requirement is granted, the Board of Adjustment must specify � limitations on the period of use of occupancy of the structure for ti.mes of flooding and only after determining that adequate flood warning time and local flood emergency response procedures exist. (2) Commercial Uses - accessory land uses, such as yards, railroad tracks, and parking lots may be at elevations lower than the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. However, a permit for such facilities to be used by the employees or the general public shall not be granted in the absence of a flood warning system that provides adequate time for evacuation if the area would be inundated to a depth greater than two feet or be subject to flood velocities greater than four feet per second upon occurrence of the regional flood. (3) Manufacturing and Industrial Uses - measures shall be taken to minimize interference with normal plan operations especially along streams having protracted flood durations. Certain accessory land uses such as yards and parking lots may be at lower elevations subject to requirements set out in Section 205.24.05.C.(2) above. In considering permit applications, due consideration shall be � given to needs of any industry whose business requires that it be located in flood plain areas. (4) Fill shall be properly compacted and the slopes shall be properly protected by the use of riprap, vegetative cover or other acceptable method. The Federal Emergency Management Aqency (FEMA) has established criteria for removing the special flood hazard area designation for certain structures properly elevated on fill above the 100-year flood elevation - FEMA's requirements incorporate specific fill compaction and side slope protection standards for multi-structure or� multi-lot developments. These standards should be investigated prior to the initiation of site preparation if a change of special flood hazard area desiqnation will be requested. (5j Flood plain developments shall not adversely affect the hydraulic capacity of the channel and adjoining flood plain of any tributary watercourse or drainage system where a floodway or other encroachment limit has not been specified on the Official Zoning Map. 10 � ,�-\ (6) Standards for travel trailers and travel vehicles are contained in Section 205.24.07. (7) All manufactured homes must be securely anchored to an adequately a anchored foundation system that resists flotation, collapse and lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include, but are not to be limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. This requirement is in addition to applicable state or local anchoring requirements for resisting wind forces. 6.

Removal of special Flood Hazard Area Designation: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established criteria for removing the special flood hazard area designation for certain structures properly elevated on fill above the 100-year flood elevation. FEMA's requirements incorporate specific fiil compaction and side slop protection standards for multi-structure or multi-lot developments. These standards should be investigated prior to the initiation of site preparation if a change of special flood hazard area designation will be requested. 10. PUBLIC UTILITIES, ROADS AND BRIDGES A• Public Utilities. All public utilities and facilities such as gas, electrical, sewer, and water supply systems to be located in the flood plain shall be flood-proofed in accordance with the State Building Code or elevated to above the Regulatory flood Protection Elevation.

For example, most communities might require a structure's lowest floor to be placed at 1' above the 1(}0- year flood level. Freeboard compensa.tes for the many unknown factors (e.g., waves, ice, debris, etc.) that may increase flood levels beyond the calculated level. Another example of freeboard is found in Minnesota regulations which require, at a minimum, that properly designed and constructed (permanent) levees have at a minimum three feet of freeboard above the 100-year flood in order to remove the area behind the levee from the floodplain designation. iii Cln��rs 9 G G.ww�.....��a a _.' � �'� • . ........... v �� � lowest floor elevation has 1' freeboard � above 1�-year flood level � 100-year flood � � � u�d ren„S � Lowest Floor - The lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement). /"\ Regulatory Flood protection Elevation (RFPE) - The rninimum elevation established by local l, ordinance for which all new floodplain development must be protected against flood damage.

Community Emergency Assistance Program 1209 89th Avenue N.E., Suite 130 Blaine, Mn 55434 Ms. Vicki Peery was present from the Community Emergency Assistance Program. She stated CEAP provides emergency �'� assistance and self-sufficiency support to families in all of Anoka County. She�pS��oduced�innthemCitY of Fridleyers of the results that CEAP P In the past twelve months, CEAP has paid over $13,000 worth of financial assistance to 56 families. They have helped these families in the following ways: 2 7' 14 5 6 1 2 1 families avoid evictions families avoid utility shut offs families afford prescriptions families with car repairs family by providing work clothes families with school-related expenses family with storage fees In addition, they assisted 909 Fridley families with food. (She could not specify if this was 909 different families or if it was 909 total families coming in - some duplications.) Their policy is that a family can come one time per month to get three meals per day for five days for each member of their family. CEAP was asked to apply for the 1993 reallocation funds. They requested $750.00. They were awarded $1,020. with the stipulation that the money must be spent between April and June. The money is depleted. The funds went to the following: 1) April 11, 1995 CEAp gaye $450. to pay for rent for a mother and two children. The father had left the household and it took her two months to find a job so she got behind on her rent. paid one month of the rent and her wa es C� The child su g paid the other month. per week at $7� 0 per houre c8henfeelshshemwill be able4t h�ars the rent from now on. P�' 2) $486.00 were used to pay rent for a mother and three children. She was in a shared housing situation and her roommate and child left so she was left with the entire rent amount. -CEAP paid a portion of the rent, leaving family emergency assistance available for a move. She found a more affordable house in Fridley, the children are still in the same school district and this was a collaborative effort. The CEAp staff had to work with family emergency assistance to get them to help the family and to work together with CEAp in order to make this all happen. 3) The final amount was $84.00 which was combined with $71.00 of CEAP funds for a total of $155.40. This covered the cost of a prescription for a client. The senior citizen moved from Wyoming and a member of CEAP staff has contacted a senior outreach worker and they will be working on getting this woman medical assistance to help with prescription expenses in the future. When CEAP is given money, they use it to cover the staff time when they are serving residents in Fridley, which frees up those dollars to actually contribute to the needs of the families. r � �� � �`1 ,. , They have helped people avoid evictions, avoid shut-offs, etc. in the community.

The total salary last year was $48,000 for three staff inembers. SACA has a lot of volunteers from all over the area that help every day. They operate on donated money and donated food. Last year, SACA received donations somewhere in the area of $112,000 in cash and 142,000 pounds of food jwhich generally is valued at $1.00 per pound). Mr. Mihalchick stated SACA can certainly use whatever contributions Fridley can make to the program. Money will be used to buy food. They also take used furniture and clothing. Money is spent on salary expense, upkeep on the house and utility costs. Mr. Coverston asked if SACA experienced a sudden increase in clients when St. William's quit. Mr. Mihalchick stated SACA had worked with St. William's all along and so when they did close there was an increase right away, but they provided SACA with some of what they had on hand. Mr. Coverston asked if there is any other food shelf in the area. � Mr. Mihalchick stated no, they are pretty geographic and they generally coordinate with CEAP and MEAD. They do not serve � people who do not live in SACA's geographic area. -_ Ms. Mau stated the question that the commission has always run up against in the past is the fact that SACA does have a large savings for a building. Looking at their assets, SACA has $24,000 in savings and a$16,000 TCF Certificate and over $10,000 in another certificate. She was wondering where that money came from. Is that donated money? From the money that SACA brings in, what of that goes into savings? Mr. Mihalchick stated basically nothing more goes into savings. At one point it was all in ane savings account and it was split into various certificates to help earn interest. Occasionally, they cash in one certificate and move it into another. That is why the amounts vary each year. Ms. Mau asked where the original money in certificates and savings accounts come from. Mr. Mihalchick stated each year they try to budget so that they spend more than what is taken in. Last year they came within $150. of what was taken in. The money which is in the savings account and certificates has been there since before he got on the board (8 years). He would venture to guess that originally they did not use all of the money that was taken in. � ... .,, ._ '"'� ,� �� HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1995 PAGE 5 Ms. Mau stated the commission needs to verify that the funds that they give to SACA is not being put aside or into the building funds. Mr. Mihalchick stated the CDBG grants they have to show that the money was spent on food. 3. Arc of Anoka and Ramsey Counties 1201 89th Avenue N.E., Suite 305 Blaine, MN 55434 Ms. Mary Ann Reich was present to represent Arc. Ms. Reich stated she would first li.ke to thank Fridley for their past funding. They have been a supporter of Arc in a number of programs including the Toy Library which they are asking for again this year. One of the situations that they are faced with now is that they are heavily funded by United Way and due to the climate there are fewer contributions. This results in cuts of 5 to 7% cuts each year so Arc is finding they really need to reach out to the community and get support there. Ms. Reich stated Arc has come back again this year with a request for the toy library because they are looking at moving that library into a second phase. The toy library was started in 1988 and over the years with contributions and funding they have built up, the nice supply of generic toys has been established. However, within the past year or so, they have found that families are looking for more therapeutic and adaptive equipment. Children that are being born with critical illnesses and issues are surviving and going home to families who then have to deal with caring for those children, getting equipment and just trying to meet their needs at home. Many insurance companies are _ restricting more and more what they will purchase for families and there are not other funds out there. Families have been asking Arc to increase what they have available in adaptive equipment. It helps them in two ways - fi.nding the right equipment and paying for it. The toy library allows them to check out pieces to try and narrow down their selection. Because Arc makes them available for a longer period of time, sometimes it can alleviate purchasing it or when the family does purchase it, they know that it is what they know will work for' their child. Arc has put together a list of examples of equipment that fainilies have asked for or suggested would be very helpfui. Their biggest dream would be to have some adaptive computer equipment so families could come in an use equipment to see how it works and it would allow Arc to produce items for families such as communication sheets for children who are unable to � communicate verbally. Arc has asked for $2,500 which would hel them also have a number of grants in larger amounts out toabied. They grant sources. gger Currently through all of Arc's services, they are serving 42 families in Fridley. They know there are more families out there who are using Early Intervention Services which Arc tries to work really cooperatively with. They hope that by having the adaptive equipment, more of those families would come in an use it. Mr. Oquist asked if this is sort of an expansion of the existing library program. He asked if much of the money needs to be spent on maintenance. Ms. Reich responded, no. The toy library does have staff people who are assigned to keep the library going in terms of making sure that the returned toys are cleaned and sanitized. They have a group of volunteers that do a lot of maintenance. The bikes and wagons are refurbished as needed. Arrangements have been made with some of the toy companies who will replace broken parts for free, and some of the smaller stores will donate batteries. Some of the routine maintenance they are able to cover without ^ much cost. Mr. Oquist asked what typically the longest time the toy is checked out for. Ms. Reich stated most of the toys can be checked out for one month. The therapeutic equipment can be checked out for three months. Mr. Oquist asked where other funds come from. Ms. Reich stated Arc is in the process of submitting grant requests. They have a grant through United Parcel Service. Companies such as this who have established grant funds and they are also in the process of going through the whole list of foundatians and searching out the ones that focus on disabilities in children. 4• Alexandra House, Inc. P. O. Box 49039 Blaine, MN 55449 Ms. Connie Moore was present to represent Alexandra House. Ms. Moore distributed copies of some statistics that had been put together in regard to Commuriity Advocacy Services and Intervention Services through Alexandra House. � ,� � � HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1995 PAGE 7 Mr. Oquist noted that Alexandra House is applying for funds for a different program that what they have applied for in the past and asked Ms. Moore to provide more information in regard to their re.quest . Ms. Moore stated in the past they have received CDBG funds for their Hospital Advocacy Program. This year they are requesting funding for their Intervention Program. Alexandra House has had intervention services in the City of Fridley since 1991. They originally received funds from the United Way. Mr. Oquist stated the request states the funds wouHe askedewhatr paying a portion of the legal advocate's salary. assistance a legal advocate provides. Ms. Moore stated that a legal advocate attends criminal court hearings with the victim or without the victim, working closely with the police and prosecutor in the criminal court case. They would provide transportation to the court hearing if needed. The legal advocate also hooks that person up with other resources within the community such as counseling, food shelf, housing resources, etc. The legal advocate in the intervention program also works closely with the community advocates who files orders for protection or harassment orders and attends those court hearings as weli. They would also work with them on other issues plus the shelter services if the person is in need of shelter. Mr. Oquist asked if the legal advocate is a trained legal person. Ms. Moore stated no, they are not attorneys. Basically they get their training at the Alexandra House or come with prior experience in having worked with other prograius in the court system. They receive a lot of training on what the statutes are. Much research is done on new legislative mandates. They also work closely with the prosecutor on cases. They are basically a liaison between the victim, the prosecutor, police, etc. They do not give legal advice but rather tell them what their rights are and how they can be involved in the criminal court process. Mr. Oquist asked if this is something that is somewhat new. Ms. Moore stated this has been going on in Fridley since 1991. They have heda�etintervention pragramstth ough ut theBState andce 1987. Ther they all operate pretty much the same. Mr. Oquist stated Alexandra House is asking for $10,000. �� Obviously, the City cannot give them the $10,000. Where will the remaining funds come from if the City cannot fund them or if they are only able to grant them a portian of the total request. , , II �, Ms. Moore stated a major portion of the funding for community programs is funded by donations within the community. This is not continuation funding so it is not guaranteed funding. They are trying to establish a stronger funding base for these programs that are ongoing. Some funds come from United Way. One of United Way•s expectations is that Alexandra House continue to look for funding from the communities that they are providing services for. In reviewing the information Ms. Moore distributed, she noted that last year, Fridley made 200 domestic-related arrests. There were also 58 citations issued. They work on any cases in which the police department has been called in. Ms. Moore also noted that they do Police Training in the Intervention Program. They train all new Fridley Police Officers for the intervention services. 5- Anoka County Community Action Program 1201 89th Avenue N.E., Suite 345 Blaine, MN 55434 Ms. Cathey Weidman stated the Senior Outreach Program is a program that links seniors and disabled adults to different services that are available to them that help them maintain their �� independence and stay in their homes as long as possible. � Referrals come to their office for an outreach worker to visit them from the client themselves, from City officials, from the senior center director, from public health nurses, social service workers, etc. The requests receive a visit from the Senior Outreach Worker for the City of Fridley who goes out and meets with them in their home and determines what their needs are. After talking with them, she makes necessary referrals to the appropriate program. Because so many of the programs are difficult to access, especially for seniors or those who haye never done so, she assists them in filling out forms. Many of the referrals are for basic needs. Last year, 48� of the referrals dealt with food and heat problems. This year referrals for basic needs have increased up to 560. Ms. Weidman stated the Senior Outreach Program is a very cost effective program as they can help to keep someone living in the coaimunity, contributing both economically and socially to it rather than having to go in to a long term care facility. Ms. Mau asked how many seniors they serve. Ms. Weidman stated last year there were 231 visits made to 188 households, 146 individuals. There were 113 ongoinq or follow up visits. There were not numbers avaiiable for 1995, but she noted ,�'�, that the Senior Outreach Worker is ahead of last year's visits. So far, Ms. Weidman believes there have been 205 visits through ,''`� � �7 April and she will be working through the middle or end of June. 6, Central Center for Family Resources � 1485 81st Avenue N.E. Spring Lake Park, MN 55432 Ms. Lee Carlson was present, representing Central Center. She distributed a handout to the commissioners which gave an overview of the services they offer. Ms. Carlson stated they are appiying for funds for a continued expansion of their program-which they have been involved in for the past fifteen years, reaching out further to the City of Fridley. Over the past year, they have had over 700 kids in support groups. The previous year, there were 580 kids. They are continuing to add more services to kids. The important thing is that they have developed a system of outreach and have been able to expand their services to more and more families that impact on all of the community. By coming into the schools in this way they have been able to reach families that would not otherwise be reached. Therapists are meeting with the families at the schools rather than the families having to come a distance. They are also helping the kids to develop goals. At Highland Elementary, there has been a very significant increase in the number of kids of color, and kids of other countries. They have also continued to expand the number of ts that they work with in parenting support and have added a paren parent support group for mentally ill parents who have ki s. Central Center also gets State Juvenile Intervention Funding that is really tied to local matching funds and they must have a-two for one match in order to bring those dollars in to the community. That grant is for $23,000 and in order to obtain that- money they need to demonstrate that they have local support. She feels Central Center does a tremendous amount of networking and collaborating with schools, churches and other community agencies to try to maximize those dollars. By providing the funds, the City of Fridley is demonstrating that they support this program for kids. They did serve more Fridley kids this year than they have in the past. Mr. Coverston asked how many groups they have at the middle school. ,..., Ms. Carlson stated at the Cenhave 50 kid �� groups. At North Park, they support groups, and there are eight group of 5 to 6 kids per group. School they have five s involved in nine s at Highland consisting � Mr. Oquist asked if these support group meeting sessions are held at the schools. Ms.. Carlson stated yes. This has been done for fifteen years at the Spring Lake Park schools. Mr. Coverston asked if they are working only at the elementary schools. Ms. Carlson stated they are working in the elementary schools, the Central Middle School and the Columbia Heights Senior High. They are also expanding into schools in Anoka Hennepin through another collaborative approach. Mr. Coverston asked if they have support groups at the Fridley Middle School. Ms. Carlson stated they do not have qroups at the Fridley Middle School. There just weren't the resources to add it at this point. Central Center is also dealing with the fact that the United Way has had a decline in their contributions because of corporate cutbacks so all of the agencies are experiencin a 5% ^ g o reduction. 7. Tamarisk Resources, Inc. 6240 Highway 65 N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 Ms. Gretchen Hanson was available from Tamarisk Resources to discuss their request. Ms. Hanson stated Tamarisk is not just a telephone service, but �ey provide an advocacy for people who are terminally ill.- They find they are helping those that are falling between the cracks - those people whose insurance does not cover home care, their age, etc. Tamarisk is made up all volunteers. They wish to stay this way so people will not fall between their cracks. This way they are simply out to help people who need help. They not only help the patient, but also the families of the patients. They have trouble estimating the nwaber of Fridley families that they serve as it goes far beyond the patient and their spouse. It is also the family and teaching the community how to care for people as a community when people are dying, not just sending people to support groups. . What Ms. Hanson sees happening at Tamarisk is that they are meetinq a need that no one else is providing. If they stop, there is no one else providinq this need to the community. They � are not doing it for money or anything else. /"\ �, HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1995 PAGE 11 Ms. Hanson stated the volunteers have 40 hours of training. Last year, these volunteers put in over 5,000 hours. A dollar amount cannot be put on the amount of time they are spending in the homes of these patients. The scenarios are endless of how they are allowing people to live these last weeks of their lives. She does not see their program as a hospice program but rather a pre- hospice program. Ms. Mau asked if Ms. Hanson could explain what Outreach for $10,000 was in Tamarisk's budget. Ms. Hanson stated this includes advertising materials. They are trying to put together a video which would go out to the schools and churches. The advertising and promotions costs listed in the budget are for getting brochures printed. Ms. Mau asked what the Caregiving Programs were. Ms. Hanson stated this is for exactly what they are doing. Same people need wheelchairs and they are unable to afford one. Tamarisk must kick in to provide some of those pieces for people. Ms. Mau stated she noted that Tamarisks budqet this year is far different than last years. It has expanded significantly. Ms. Hanson stated they have seen what their needs are. They have never been able to provide the Caregiving piece of wheelchairs, etc. They are trying to accumulate some of this equipment. Ms. Hanson noted there is no organization that Tamarisk values more than what the City has done. 8. St. Phillip's Lutheran Church 6180 Highway b5 N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 Ms. Rathy Huffman stated the after school program that they have had this year has been for 6th grade through 8th grade. Next year it will be available for 5th graders through 8th graders. This year, they have worked with volunteers and they have had one full time and one part time staff person. A snack is served to the kids and they provide a safe environment for them. There is a basketball court, they have videos, they have peaple from the congregation come in to do crafts, as well as just an area for the kids to hang out. They have volunteers who have worked up tournaments, and been referees. The program has worked remarkably well. � Next year, St. Phillip's is loaking at adding their program. They figure they will need two at that time. They feel there will need to be f ifth graders to extra staff people more divisions, � especially among the fifth graders and the eighth graders and they will need to have more spaces available which they will need more people to monitor. The volunteers do an excellent job, but it is also important to have a famiiiar face there every day for the kids. Right now in some of the same areas that the kids are hanging out, they have a turning point daycare for eldercare. Ms. Huffman stated she would like to see if there are some things that some of the kids can do to help out if they so desire. Next year, they would like to have more opportunities, a larger variety of crafts and on-task things because of the younger age group and the tendency of that age group to prefer more structure. Mr. Oquist asked if the request for funds was basically to cover the additional staff as well as added activities. Ms. Huffman stated yes. She informed the commissioners that the fifth graders will be joining the middle school next year. Ms. Mau asked which age group represents the largest percentage of participation in the program. ,� Ms. Huffman stated she believes it would be 7th graders. Ms. Mau asked if they are expecting a large infiux of fifth graders mainly because this will be a lost group, as when the fifth graders were in the elementary schools, there were after school programs available through Parks and Recreation and that will not be available to them any more. Ms. Iiuffman stated she is anticipating there will be a large- number of fifth graders. That is not an age group where parents are as comfortable about leaving their children alone, but it is_ also to a point where they do not want to be paying.the daycare costs. Ms. Mau asked how many kids are signed up at this time. Ms. Huffman stated they have registered 62 kids. They grew to having an average of 35 to 40 kids in the Winter. Now it has dropped off to around 20 kids. Mr. Oquist asked if this program runs through the summer. Ms. Huffman stated they had sent out questionnaires to those people who had registered their kids for the pragram to see if there would be an interest in a summertime r � received one response so they felt there was notaa�bighneednly /""� Ms. Mau suggested that this lack of response may be due to the fact that it was based on a weekly cost. She felt it may have been better to have a per day cost. Mr. Coverston stated the program really is not set up for outdoor kinds of activities. and Natural Resource Department 9, City of Fridley Recreation 6431 University Avenue N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 Ms. Debi Campobasso stated last year the City requested $5,000 for scholarships. They have been able to providldelinesrand have dollars to help families that meet the income gu� been able to waive fees that the Park and Recreation Department does not allow them to waive. Any trips to ski areas, Valleyfair, etc. the Park & Recreation Department is unable to help out the families that cannot afford���ityeforhthose k ds have been able to provide a special opp that cannot participate through their department. They have received a lot of positive feedback from families for the scholarships. � 500 to $1,800. to So far, of the $5,000, they have given away $l, ercent date since last June and expect to give out another big p of it as the summer activities are caming up. The higher cost activities are where they really get the participation of the kids who normally could not afford it. Ms. CamPobasso stated she has talked with Mr. Schneider briefly abaut extending the $5,000 e�enditure until the end of the year. That is the reason ear. the reduction in the amount that they are requesting this y They are requesting $2,500 to do the same kind of service, but also open it up to some of the younger kids in the elementary schools so that they then would have the opportunity to waiye fees for some of the trips and special events that are available. If they could get another $2,500, it would enable them to waive those additional feesthed feel itewould�really co ernthem through the end of the year, y next July. �, Ms. Campobasso noted that the Safety Camp which they offered which got funded late last year is full with 150 participants. Thirty percent, or 50 families completely waived the $15.00 fee. This does not include those that met the income guidelines but did not waive the fee or waived only a portion of the fee. Mr. Oquist askedhich�theefundsacanlbe�usedtfor.Programs during the summer for w Ms. Campobasso stated yes. Ms. Mau asked if adding the fifth graders to the middle school will affect their program participation and the amount of scholarships they give out. Ms• Campobasso stated yes, because she does not feel many of the fifth graders are participating right now at the elementary level. She sees the fifth graders as being one of the highest participants next year. 10. Banfill-Locke Center 6666 East River Road Fridley, MIV 55432 for The Arts N.E. �s. Kay Nee, who is on the Board of the Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts and Ms. Rachal Flentje, Executive Director of the Banfill-Locke Center were present to discuss their request for funds. �s• Nea started by giving some background information on the Banfill-Locke property, She noted they are located on East River Road. The house was built in 1842 which makes it the oldest house in Minnesota. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places. The home was left by Airrs. Locke to a church who sold it to the county. A group who were interested in the arts and had formed the North Suburban Center for the Arts decided it� would be an ideal place to have an art center. They have had considerable success. They have done a lot of programs for children. They have two big shows for children every year - one for the senior kids and one for the junior kids. They have member shows, and artists come in to show their work. There is no entrance fee. One of the things they would like to do is offer some more programs for Senior Citizens. One of the classes they feel_would be great would be a writing class for seniors. They would like to offer more programs for children. One of the things they would like to do for them is offer some creative dramatics for children. They would like to offer that to the lower income for no fee. They would also like to offer the senior classes for no fee as well. They feel these would be nice additions to their programs. Ms. Mau asked how many Fridley residents are served. /� �� Ms. Rachal Flentje stated as far as class proqrams, which are the easiest to monitor, they figure they serve twice as many Fridley residents as they do any other communities. quarterly session, they would serve a For example, in a and of that 120 to 150 of them are Fridleyiresidents0 students � �'� HIIMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1995 PAGE 15 Mr. Oquist asked if the money they are asking for would be to continue funding the programs as well as offering some additional classes for the elderly and children. Ms. Nee stated they do not currently have a Senior's writing program• thelcost ofethe seniorsrgettingtto theeclasssas�wellbas to cover the instructor's fees. Ms. Flentje stated they also want to expand their children's programs to hopefully have instructors go to the Fridley schools and teach an after school program. This would be free to Fridley students if it were held at the school. They would like to be able to provide the instructor and also have programs to bring the children to the center as well for a minimai charge for the use of the space. Mr. Oquist asked Lutheran Church school programs if they would consider going to St. Phillips or to some of the Park and Recreation after to work with those people as well. Ms. Flentje stated definitely. They have such excellent � instructors and quality programs. They think that very few people in Fridley seem to realize that they are there. They would like to spread their instructors and programs out to other facilities, it would get their name and the program out to others.

Discuss Liquor Store General Fund Allocations with Richard Pribyl. Mr. Oquist stated at a recent Planning Commission meeting it was mentioned that some of the revenues from the City's liquor store had been allocated to the Alexandra House. To clarify this matter and further discuss what liquor store revenues are used for, Mr. Richard Pribyl was asked to be present at the Human Resource Commission meeting. � Mr. Oquist noted that approximately two to three years ago, the Human Resource Commission had proposed that the entire Senior Outreach Program be funded with the City�s qeneral fund. Mr.. Pribyl stated in 1993 the Alexandra House re from the City of Fridley in relation to its capitalsbuilding�00 program. They had requested that along with an amount from all the other cities in the area to participate in their building program. The City Council feit it was a good cause but the $10,000 did not relate to the Human Resources Commission with the CDBG as it was a capital item, and would not qualify. They did however want to do something to help them out. There was not an attempt to go around the Human Resources Commission, it was just one of those things the City Council felt compelled to contribute to as the other communities were contributing as well. Mr. Pribyl stated the application for these funds was received after the CDBG allocation was completed. There was no budget in the general fund for this kind of pragram, but the City has an emergency reserve for things that come up during the year that were not budgeted for. � Mr. Pribyl stated that in 1994, Mike Larson, Liquor Operations Director, and Mr. Pribyl attempted to come up with ideas that � related to City programs that could use the revenues from the liquor operations for commutiity-based kinds of things. One of the things they identified was to start putting some of this money towards something like the Alexandra House. Upon consensus of the City Council, the City budgeted $25,000 in 1994. No payment was ever made out of the 1994 budget. It was carried over to 1995. In the 1995 budgeting process another $25,000 identified/isolated for this type of program. As of yet, those funds have not been expended. They tried to find some kind of use for the liquor operations money that had community based- kinds of things behind it and something that would also be within the context of the general fund connotation. Mr. Pribyl stated that the liquor store generates approximately $150,000 to $180,000 per year. To date this has been held by the liquor fund just for a future building program. This has been done since approximately 1988/1989. One of the things they are looking at now is they have the funds sufficient for a building program, where will they go from here? This will probably be a topic of conversation at the next budgeting session. Annually those revenues can be appropriated for whatever the City Council feels that they want to use it for. The funds that are coming out of there to thi� point have not been really appropriated for anything beyond just the building pr been set aside specifically for a r�� itself. Nothing has House, but it is that type of use hey�w ntuto setasideefordra �,.� HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING JIINE 1 1995 PAGE 3 Mr. Pribyl stated he believes because of the fact that it was of that nature is why the moneys have not been expended to date. Mr. Coverston asked if there was a requirement that the money be used for capital kinds of things. Mr. Pribyl stated he believes this was the City Council's thought that it would be for those types of requests that did not fit well into the CDBG program. It would not actually have to be for capital items, and it could be used to fund a program. Ms. Mau asked if the City Council has a certain amount that they anticipate being put into their general fund as far as the revenue from the liquor store. Mr. Pribyl stated to date they have not because they have not been transferring that into the general fund as a revenue source to use for the estimated e�cpenditure. They have been letting those funds reside in the liquor fund to build for a building program. So as of this date the only amount that has been transferred into the general fund as a revenue are the $50,000 (the two $25,000 increments). � Ms. Mau stated at some point, she assumes that the City will need to allocate these funds for a program of some sort. Mr. Pribyl stated yes, and this is a process they will be going through annually along with the budgeting process. Ms. Mau asked if they will automatically go into the general fund. Mr. Pribyl stated he does not know what else it will be used for if it is not going into the general fund. They could_progra�n it to anything they wanted to. They could program it to any one of the special revenue funds or they could put it into one of the utilities to help subsidize water and sewer rates. This is something they would have total control over in the budgeting process. Mr. Oquist asked when the budgeting process begins. Mr. Pribyl stated it ordinarily begins the first part of June. They will have budget work sessions on June 6, June 20th and June 27th. Mr. Oquist asked if, as a Commission, they could make a recommendation or a request that some of those funds be used to � finance the Senior Outreach Worker. Ms. Mau stated she feels this wouid be a very positive thing. F� Mr. Oquist stated he thinks it should definitely be considered for future years. Ms. Mau stated the Senior Outreach Worker program would certainly be a closer community based expenditure than the Alexandra House. Mr. Oquist stated the Hwnan Resource Commission feels the Senior �utreach Program is a valid program and they requested two years ago that it be funded through the City�s general funds. The program is an ongoing program and it does not match the CDBG criteria. This criteria states that the CDBG funds be used for seed money, new programs, something new and innovative, something that helps the majority of the Fridley residents, and something that helps the youth. If the City feels the Senior Outreach Program is a good and viable program, maybe they should fund it out of the general funds and the CDBG dollars could be used for something else. Ms. Mau noted that there are lots of program out there that the Human Resource Commission has not been able to help because the funding is so limited. Mr. Pribyl noted that the City is seeing their request for expenditures rise annually and they are not seeing the same level of increase in the revenue side. likely see their e In 1995 and 1996 they will xpenses exceeding their revenues. One of the strugqles they will have will be to figure out how to bring those back into balance. The liquor operation few that actually can generate money locallygr� ere�may be more pressure to use these funds to supplement the general fund. The recommendations made by the Commission are not significant enough to impact the fund dramatically. Mr. Oquist stated it would be a benefit to the City to be abie to show that a portion of the revenues were used to finance a senior outreach program or some other program on a continuing basis. He stated another good use of the funds would be to fund the Safety� Cam� each year. Ms. Mau stated the DARE proqram would be an excellent program to fund with liquor store revenues. She further stated she feels there needs to be more publicity on the positive things the City chooses to do for the community. She stated she has always felt it wmuld be good to have a press release informing the residents how CDBG funds were ailocated. This would be a good way to adve�tise the availability of CDBG funds as well as help community spirit to see that money is going towards good commuriity programs. b• Make Funding Recommendations for CDBG Applicants: �1 �� � . ; ..: t.' � �� � �� HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING JIINE 1 1995 PAGE 5 The Commissioners briefly compared their recommendations for funding.

" Mr. Coverston noted that it should be clarified that the funding for St. Phillips Lutheran Church is for the Hangout Program. Ms. Mau stated that some applicants wili need to notified that they will need to make changes in their requests for CDBG funds next year, in order to meet the criteria. Those mentioned were St. Phillips Lutheran Church, City of Fridley and Tamarisk. She further noted that Banfill-Locke will need to specify exactly where the money will go. Their request this year was too general. Perhaps next year it could be specified for a scholarship or for tuition for low income students. Mr. Coverston suggested that Banfill-Locke consider funding an art class for the Hangout Program• It was the general consensus of the Commissioners that a recommendation be made to the City Council in regard to the use of liquor store revenues.
