Per Section 205.07.O1.C.(8) of the Fridley City Code, to
allow expansion of a hospital in an R-1, Single Family

IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CBAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIHLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7s38 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the special use permit is being requested by
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 20. 1995 PA E 2
Unity Hospital, who is being represented by BWBR Architects. The
request is to allow expansion of a hospital in an R-1, Single
Family Dwelling, district. The subject property is located at
550 Osborne Road with Osborne Road to the north, Madison Street
to the east, and Lyric Lane along the rear of the property. The
petitioner is proposing a minor expansion to the hospital which
will increase the square footage by 3,750 square feet.
Ms. McPherson stated the area of expansion is along the front of
the existing facility. There are currently three canopies along
the front of the hospital with a road currently connecting the
canopies. That road would be reconfigured to direct traffic from
the westerly canopy to the north toward the larger parking area
and another entrance would be created by the canopy to the east.
Ms. McPherson stated the purpose of the expansion is to�
consolidate internal spaces within the hospital. An Ambulatory
Care Unit will be created. This unit is for patients having
minor procedures with a typical stay between two and twelve
hours. The two pharmacies will be combined into one, and the
Radiology Department will also be reconfigured.
Ms. McPherson stated there is no adverse impact to the site in
terms of setback requirements. The proposed addition is well
away from the adjacent residential district south of Lyric Lane.
The net change in parking will be a net loss of six spaces.
Staff recommends a stipulation reserving the right to require
additional spaces if demand would warrant. The uses that are
currently planned for the expansion are uses currently going on
in the hospital. No additional increase in the number of
patients is proposed. There may be a time in the future when
patient demand may require additional parking.
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the special use
permit with the following stipulation:
1. The City reserves the right to require additional parking
spaces should the need warrant it.
Mr. Newman asked if the hospital was currently over the required
minimum parking spaces.
Ms. McPherson stated this is difficult to calculate. There are
parking standards for hospital use; however, they are pretty
stringent. If anything, the hospital is probably under the
requirements if one were to calculate the gross square footage of
the hospital. However, there does not appear to be a parking
problem.
i �
�
�
Mr. Newman asked the location of the current parking spaces that
,�
,.�.� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 20, 1995 PAGE 3
would be eliminated.
Ms. McPherson stated the spaces are generally located on either
side of the center canopy.
Mr. Boldenow stated he had no additional information regarding
the proposed expansion. Regarding the parking; there are two
handicap spaces which will be relocated. The loss of six spaces
are not handicap spaces.
Mr. Sielaff asked if there was a guideline for the number of
spaces needed. Is IInity in compliance?
Ms. McPherson stated the guideline is one space for every 50
spaces provided on site. She had not calculated the number of
spaces. She can do that before the City Council meeting. There
was not a concern during the last expansion. There are ordinance
requirements. �
Mr. Boldenow stated no additional patients are expected.
Basically, this is a reorganization and the focus is the current
directian i.n medical care to shorten the patient stay.
��,
Ms. Lipa stated she lived in the residential area behind the
haspital and was also a hospital employee. Regarding the
stipulation, she asked how the need is determined. She feels the
parking is cramped. People are parking on Madison Street where
the ambulances come in and out. At the change of shift, it is a
hassle there.
Ms. Lipa stated her other concern is that she would like some
assurances that the construction debris is kept up. When putting
on the surgery addition, the garbage was kept well until the end
when the they seemed to lose control and she ended up with
tarpaper and insulation on her lawn.
Mr. Sielaff asked Ms. I,ipa if she thought parking was a problem
on Madison Street because people prefer to park there.
Ms. Lipa stated there are several things. There is not enough
parking. Also, the clinic shares parking with the hospital out
front. With the clinic patient parking there, it adds to the
problem. It is also easier to get in and out there. She thought
that needed to be considered.
Mr. Newman asked if there was anything they could do as far as
the refuse during the construction process.
� Ms. McPherson stated, for the last special use permitting process
in 1993, they did have a stipulation which said they needed to
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DECEMBER 20 1995 PAG$ 4
have a construction management plan to address the care of
keeping the debris contained and building materials covered. She
was not aware there was a concern with trash. Staff can enforce
that through the building inspection division. If there is a
concern by the residents, a phone call to city hall would
suffice. The city depends on the residents to be their eyes on
the street. Staff cannot be on site at all times. There is also
a trust situation with the petitioner.
Mr. Newman asked if the ordinance could be enforced.
Ms. McPherson stated staff can require the petitioner to maintain
a clean construction site. She was sure the uniform building
code had a section concerning building debris and trash.
Mr. Newman stated he did not want unnecessary stipulati�ns.
While we all have the best of intentions, there may be a
subcontractor who does not care. If the city has an ordinance,
it seems the best solution is to depend on the residents to call
if there is a problem.
Ms. McPherson stated, during the last construction, calls may
have gone to the building inspection division of which she was
not aware. Through this discussion that this is an issue, she
will tell the inspection division so they can monitor the
situation. Residents can contact the Chief Building Inspector,
Ron Julkowski, at 572-3602, or the Code Enforcement Officer, Kurt
Schneider, at 572-3595.
Ms. Lipa stated the contractor was very good during most of the
project. It was just at the end.
Mr. Bruns stated he was the construction manager for Mercy and
Unity hospitals. During the last project, he made sure the site
was kept clean. They had a lot of comments that the site was
kept very clean. If there is a problem, he can be contacted at
780-6924. He is on site during the construction at all time. He
will make sure the site stays clean.
Mr. Hickok stated staff would notify Mr. Schneider and Mr.
Julkowski that this was a concern that they can coordinate with
Mr. Bruns.
There were no further comments from the public.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Ms. Modig, to close the public
hearing. •

� PLANNING COMMISBION MEETING, DECEMBER 20. 1995 PAGE_5
Mr. Sielaff stated his only concern was that he was not sure if
the traffic was a major issue or not. He believed there must be
some way to enforce the recommendation. He is comfortable with
staff coming up with a way to do that. Ms. Lipa did have a valid
point is asking how staff would determine is additional parking
is warranted. Other than that, he had no problem with the
request.
Mr. Newman stated his first reaction before the public hearing
was not to have the stipulation. He assumed the hospital was
over the requirements. After the hearing, he is inclined not to
go through with that.
Mr. Hickok stated his observation has been that there seems to be
parking stalls away from the hospital that appear to be
available. Madison Street in close proximity to the hospital
makes it more convenient than the outer areas of the parking lot.
If after construction the parking is full, staff can look at
additional parking strategies.
Mr. Newman stated, at the time of the surqery construction, they
discussed the issue of parking. He asked if they had talked
r--� about limiting parking on the street.
Ms. McPherson stated that is an option. The mailing list for
sending out the meeting notice was very lengthy. Of all the
notices sent out, Ms. Lipa is the first to comment and this is
the first she has heard about traffic on Madison Street. The
City could choose to sign Madison Street as "No Parking" on both
sides if there were enough complaints generated by the residents.
The City could also limit the hours of parking, etc.
Mr. Newman stated Unity Hospital has been a great community
citizen and he is grateful for their contributions. He does not
want to act on one comment. He would like to see the petitioner
work in concert with staff and the community to come up with a
plan.
Ms. McPherson stated staff also needs to look at the clinic and
the convalescent home parking as well. Several years ago, there
was discussion about traffic which seemed to be more toward the
rear of the building. Staff will work with residents and the
hospital to come up with a solution.
Mr. Newman stated this just needs to be monitored at this time.
Mr. Sielaff suggested the stipulation be modified for staff to do
some monitoring of the traffic situation and to make a
�� determination if action is warranted.

DEVELOPMEN'I' SITE
�
On April 4, 1994, the Fridley City Council held a public heari.ng to
consider a plat and a rezoning request that would change the zoning of Lot
3, Block 1, Central View Manor, Second Addition from C-3 to M-l. The
actions would allow development of this site as a office/warehouse complex.
The multi-tenant concept was briefly discussed during the Planning
Co�ission's public hearing. At the City Council's public hearing, a member
of the Council asked about the volume of traffic anticipated from this
development. Mr. Lund stated, "[He] did not believe traffic would be an
��
2
�-�ssue, as it would involve mostly their employees comi.ng to work in the
r�rning and then going out on various jobs that are contracted". The
petitioner did not discuss the multi-tenant concept at the City Council
hearing.
In July 1994 the property was final platted, a portion was officially
rezoned, and a 15 foot drainage and utility easement was vacated to
acco�oomdodate development. During that same year, building construction began.
Today there are four tenants lacated in the building: Rite-Way Mobile Home
Repair, Inc. (14� af building space), DVL Transport {21� of building
spacej, North Country Collectibles (12� of building space), and Surface
Solutions (19� of buildi.ng space). Approximately 4400 square feet, or 34�
of the buildi.ng space remains vacant. The North Country Collectibles special
use permit request is after-the-fact. The store does currently exist.
Analysis
SP #95-11 North Country Collectibles _
This special use pernait request is to allow retail sales not associated
with a principal use in the M-1, LY.ght Industrial District.
Code Seation 205.17.01.(3). States, Commercial retail, service uses and
Class II restaurants within office and/or industrial buildings, including
those with drive-through components, such as banks, cleaners, photo shops,
fast food restaurants, and similar uses shall be considered for a special
�e permit on an individual basis, provided that:
(a) The maximum gross floor area occupied by such uses, and other
commercial issues, as permitted by special use permit, shall not
exceed 30 pexcent of the buildings total fl�r area with no such
individual tenant exceeding 5,000 square feet;
PROPOSAL: North Country ColleCtibles 3s a reta3l colieatible
merchandise store that currently esists at tbis address. The store
consumes 1614 s.f. of the 13,000 s.f. industrial buildinq. This
square foot dimension represents 12% of the overall buildi.ng and falls
within an acceptable ranqe (�o - 300) as defined by Code.
(b) The parking supply shall

be in compliance with the requirements of
Code and be sufficient to sup�rt full
(205.17.5) cover the followinq spectrt�:
space: 250 s.f. of office
space: 150 s.f. of retail
space: 40o s.f. of mfq. space
space: 2,000 s.f. of warehouse
space: 500 a.f. of floor area
3
* Sp@C1118t1V0
(less than
1 1/2 acre
site)
1 space: 700 s.f. of floor area
PROFOBAL: Because this industrial site is less than 1 1/2 acres, the
speculative parkinq ratio of i parkinq stall per 70o s.f. of �loor
area was used. A total of 19 parkinq spaces were required. The
developer did supply i9 parking spaoes plus 2 handicap stalis.
A typical i:is0 retail requirement would prescribe 11 parkinq stalls
for the 1614 s.f. Country Collectibles, retail use in thie buildinq.
Staff evaluated the current miu of all uses and estrapolated the
percentaqe af mised usea into the unoccupied space as well. Based on
park3.ng requirementa bp apecifio use, the followinq numbers should be
considered:
* office use (21� of buildinq) 2,730 s.f.
2,730/250 = 11 stalls
* manufacturinq (50� of buildinq) 6,500 s.f.
6,500/400 = 16 st$lls
* warehouse (l0a of buildinq) 1,300 s.f
1,300/2000 = 1 stall
* retail (19� of buil�inq) 1614 s.f.
1,614/150 = 11 stalls
-----------------------------------------------------
projected parkinq demand based
on current mig of uses 39 atalls
This analysis revealed that the occupancy trend withi.n this building will
lead to an eventual shortage of 18 parking stalls. Obviously, the
"speculative parking ratio" anticipates a much higher percentage of
warehouse in a mixed industrial building such as this.
If the 4400 s.f. of unoccupied space were to become warehouse space, there
would not be as great a demand for parking stalls. Even so, the site
would have a deficiency of 11 parking stalls.
(c) Only wall mounted signs, subject to the limitations of Section 214
of the City Code, shall be germitted;
PROPOSAL: In 1995 the City Council approved a comprehensive
for this buildinq. All siqns must meet the criteria of the
comprehensive siqn plan approved by the City Council and all
aspects of the City Sign Code.

(d) The proposed use shall only be permitted when it can be
demonstrated that their operation will not generate levels of traffic
which reduce "The Existing Level of Service", as defined by the
Institute of Traffic Engineers, on streets at intersections;
�

�., pROPOBAL: The proposed use will have a neqliqible impact on the level
of service on 73 1/2 Avenue. This determination was made tiirough the
utilization of traffic qeneration numbers given by the =nstitute of
Traffic Enqineers (iTE) for a retail space and a miged use buildinq
of this type and eize.
(e) The pro�sed use, in the opinion of the City Council, would be
compatible with the area in which it is proposed to be located;
PROPOSAL: Throuqh the zoninq review process and eventual desiqnation
assigned to this property, it was determined that limited retail would
be acceptable. 8taff believes that if all applicable stipulations of
the speaial use permit are observed and if less than 30� of this
buildinqa floor area is retail, aompatibility of this amount of retail
will not be an i.ssue.
(f) The building owner and/or agent shall be responsible for informing
any pros�ctive tenant that the property is zoned for industrial use.
pROPOSAL: Owner/aqent shall concede.
RECONII�NDATION:
Staff reco�ends approval of SP �95-11 with the following stipulations:
1. Owner shall provide adequate parking on-site for uses within the
building. If parking demand exceeds parking accomm�odations, a
modification of the rear parki.ng/storage area may be required.
�
. Any new lighting associated with this use shall be downcast
security/safety lighting and shail not exceed a footcandle measurement
deemed appropriate, by city staff, for the specific location.
3. The complet�l/approved (Riteway) site plan including all code required
elements such as: concrete or asphalt parking surfaces, B6-18 curbing
around the perimeter of all parking surfaces, screening walls or
fences, specific landscape plant materials, plant locations, and
irrigation for the front and side yards shall be adhered to with any
modification requiring review and approval by City Staff.

SP #95-12, DVL Transport
This special use permit request is to allow truck repair i.n the M-1, Light
Industrial District.
Rebair Service Historv•
In early December,1994, John Lund requested consideration of a special use
permit to allow a repair garage in a portion of the building at 1175 - 73
1/2 Avenue. The special use �*-m;t would allow the petitioner to open an
automotive service operation at this location. Later that month Mr. Lund
requested that the application be withdrawn.
Subsequent to the withdrawal of John Ia�nd's special use pernait request for
motor vehicle repair, DVL Transport moved to this location. The request for
a special use permit is after-the-fact. DVL's name may lead one to
believe this operation is a transport terminal, which would not be �
appropriate in this district. Staff's understanding of this operation is
that it is a"full-service tractor/trailer repair operation".
At the time that John Lund's request for withdrawal came, staff had already
evaluated the request and determined what stipulations would be appropriate
for a use such as this. Those stipulations were designed to mitigate
impacts that are typical of a vehicle repair operation. Those stipulations
also would apply to the current DVL operation. The stipulations are part
of the recommendation that follows.
Code Section 205.17.01.(9), states, "Repair Garages" are p�rmitted by
special use permit.
REC:OI�Il�ENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of SP #95-12 with the following stipulations:
1. Motor vehicles stored outside shall not exceed 15' in height;
2. Screeni.ng materials are provided as i.n Section 205.17.06.G(1)(aj;
3. Motor vehicle storage is conducted as provided in Section 205.17.07.D
(5) ;
4. Lighting associated with storage shall be downcast security/safety
lighting and shall not exceed a footcandle measurement deemed
appropriate, by city staff, for the specific location.
��

� The completed/approv� (Riteway) site plan including all code requirezl
eleanents such as: concrete or asphalt parking surfaces, B6-18 curbing
around the perimeter of all parking surfaces, screening walls or
fences, sgecific landscape plant materials, plant locations, and
irrigation for the front and side yards shall be adhered to with any
modification requiring review and approval by City Staff.

2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT REOUEST
P.S. #94-01, BY SCOTT LUND OF' RITE-WAY MOBILE HOME REPAIR'
To split the East 180 feet of Lot 3, Block 1, Central View
Manor 2nd Addition, and combine it with Lots 7, 8, and 9,
Block 1, Central View Manor, generally located on Highway 65
south of Fireside Drive and north of 73 1/2 Avenue.

public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEpMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING REOPENED AT 8:OQ P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated this vacant property is generally located
north of 73 1/2 Avenue, south of Fireside Drive, and east of
Highway 65. The property is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center
district, and M-1, Light Industrial district.
�
�,
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 9 1994 PAGE 6 �
r Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is proposing to split off
approximately 180 feet of the easterly portion of Lot 3, Block l,
Central View Manor 2nd Addition, and combine it with Lots 7, 8,
and 9 of Central View Addition. The petitioner proposes to
construct a 13,000 square foot building on the property with
parking and outdoor storage areas.
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed lot that will be created as a
result of the replat meets the 150 foot lot width requirement;
however, it does not meet the minimum lot area requirement of 1.5
acres. The subject parcel is approximately .11 acres or 4,791.6
square feet short of the requirement. Section 211.05 of the
Fridley City Code does allow variances to the code requirements if
the Planning Commission or City Council find that certain
regulations are not applieable. However, the petitioner does have
an opportunity to work with the existing property ow�er to acquire
either an additional 15 feet along the entire westerly lot line or
approximately 34 feet along the northerly portion (Lot 3, Block 1,
Central View Manor 2nd Addition). It would make more sense to move
the entire lot line as opposed to just the northerly portion as two
odd shaped lots are left byjust moving the northerly por'tion.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has submitted a site plan �
showing a 13,000 square foot,building. There is parking in front
adjacent to�the public right-of-way and the proposed storage area
to the rear of the building. The building meets the setback
�`°'�. requirements for the M-1, Light Industrial district, and the
proposed lot coverage is 21_4%. The petitioner does need to revise
the site plan to provide a 5 foot hard surface parking setback from
the building along the west and north sides of the building. There
is adequate room on site to provide this required setback.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner wil,l need to provide additional
screening along the north and west lot lines. A screening fence
is located along tl�e east lot line_ There is a 5creening fence and
some existing vegetation along the north lot line between the
mobile home park and the proposed buildi.ng. Staff is recommending
additional screening by adding seven evergreens 10 feet on center
along the fence_ The evergreens wili not only provide screening,
but will also meet the landscaping requirements of the district.
A third fence should be installed along the westerly property line
with slats to provide screening from the public right-of-way. This
is required if outdoor storage is to occur at the rear of the
building_
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has provided a preliminary
grading and drainage plan which was reviewed by the'Assistant
Public Works Director who had some additional comments. These
comments are included in the Staff Report_ The petitioner wiil be
required to comply with those requirements prior to the issuance �
of a building permit.
� Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has provided a preliminary
landscape plan.. The petitioner will need to submit a.revised
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 9 1994 PAGE 7
. �
landscape plan which provides a three foot high hedge or berm
screening the parking lot from the public right-of-way.
Underground irrigation is also required. The petitioner has
indicated that he will be saving the existing vegetation and trees
which are located on the property. In order to receive credit for
these trees, the petitioner must provide information as to the size
of the trees. The petitioner needs to add four evergreen trees to
the three proposed in the landscape plan to meet the 30�•evergreen
requirement in the landscape requirements.
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends that the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the plat request, P.S. �94-01, acknowledging
that the lot area does not meet the minimum 1.5 acre requirement.
While is recommended that the Commission acknowledge the lot area
variance, staff has stipulated that the petitioner should attempt
to meet the minimum lot area requirement prior to the City Council
meeting. Staff also recommends the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall submit a revised site plan prior to
the issuance of a building permit showing a 5 foot hard
surface setback along the west and north sides of the
building.
2. The petitioner shall provide additional screening through
planting of seven, 6 foot high coniferous trees along the �
north property line.
3. The petitioner shall construct a minimum 6 foot high
screening fence along the west property line. The
screening fence shall be constructed of chain link and
contain metal slats. r
4. Outdoor storage shall be permitted if the following
conditions are met:
a. The outdoor storage shall occur on a hard surface.
b. The materials to be stored shall be less than 15
feet in height.
c. The materiais to be stored shall nat be seen from
the public right-of-way. �
d. The petitioner shall install a gate with slats
parallel to the front line of the building.
5. The petitioner shall submit an amended landscape plan
prior to the issuance of a building permit with the
following changes:
a. Underground irrigation shall be provided. ,r"�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 9 1994 PAGE 8 �
�\ b. The dimensions of the existing trees to be saved
shall be indicated on the plan to calculate credit
for the existing trees.
c. Four additional 5 foot high coniferous trees shall
be added to comply with the ardinance. The 7
coniferous trees shall be planted along the north
property line for additional screening from the
residential district to the north.
6. The petitioner shall submit a revised grading and
drainage plan complying with Scott Erickson's memo dated
March 2, 1994, prior to the issuance of a building
permit. �
7. If the f�nce adjacent to the mobile home park is removed,
the petitioner shall install a minimum 6 foot high
screening fence with slats along the north lot line.
8. The petitioner shall revise the plat to meet the minimum.
lot area requirement of the M-1, Light Industrial
district.
Mr. Scott Lund, owner of Rite-Way Mobile Home Repair, Inc., stated �
stipulation #8 seems�to be the biggest�concern for him. He has
� talked to the property owner, Alvin Schrader,. from which he
purchased the back portion of the property. Mr. Schrader is not
interested in selling an additional 15 feet all along the westerly
lot line and it would be cost-prohibitive if Mr. Schrader did agree
to sell. Mr. Schrader is reluctant to lose any prime frontage.
Mr. Lund stated stipulation �4-a requires that the outdoor storage
be on a hard surface. He does not propose to have any long term
vehicles stored in back, although his mechanics usually have one
semi-trailer that wouid be stored in the back indefinitely for the '
storage of miscellaneous parts. However, since it is just a
trailer, there would be no leakage of fluids.
Mr. Lund stated he did not want to have to spend the money to
asphalt the entire back of the property. He would be willing to
put down Class 5 or something equivalent, and the area wouid be
fenced in for privacy and security.
Mr. Lund stated that from time to time, he does obtain some mobile
homes that will be parked on the property, but not for extended
periods of time_ The mobile homes are used for the rental of
temporary housing for fire victims, etc_, especially in rural
areas.
Mr. Lund stated he has no problem with any of the other ,::..
stipulations_
`��....
�
Mr. Oquist asked if Mr. Lund could identify the area ,needed for
the trailer and make that area hard surface.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 9, 1994 PAGE 9
Mr. Lund stated it would be a waste of money to asphalt the area
where the mobile homes would be parked as they just sink through
the asphalt when the asphalt becomes soft.
Mr. Oquist stated concrete could be poured on the areas where the
tires would sit. That would prevent the mobile homes from sinking
through the asphalt.
Mr. Lund stated that part of his building will be used by other
tenants. At this time, he does not know who those tenants will be.
Some of these tenants may need some outdoor storage. It would be
very expensive to asphalt/concrete the storage areas.
Ms. Dacy stated the proposed building is a typical size industrial
building, and the ordinance is very clear that any type of
vehicular use area has to occur on a hard surface. It is going to
take some area for vehicle turn-around, and the site plan shows
adequate area to provide for that. In order for staff to be
consistent on all types of development applications, staff must
recommend hard surface. She realized that the asphalt does become
soft and sinks under heavy equipment, so maybe there is an opti.on
of a certain portion of the area that is asphait and a portion that
is of another type of material.
Mr. Newman stated he agreed with staff. He appreciated the
petitioner's concerns; but if the City is going to have this
ordinance, he did not see any justification to not enforce the hard
surface requirement for Mr. Lund when they are enforcing it
elsewhere in the City.
Mr. Dacy stated that, practically speaking, she believed the
petitioner is going to need the hard surface anyway in the near
future, and it might be more cost-effective to install it now
rather than in the future.
Mr. Lund stated staff may be right; he just did not want to see an
aspha.lt jungle.
Mr. Newman stated no one wants to see an asphalt jungle. He
believed the recommendation is that Mr. Lund needs to figure out
what area will be used for storage, and then that portion used for
storage needs to be hard surfaced_
Ms. Delores DeMars stated she and Ms. Joyce Trebisovsky from the
Park Plaza mobile home park do not have any objection to the
development proposed by Mr_ Lund.
MOTION by Mr_ Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to close the public
hearing.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEAMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE POBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:35 P.M. '
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 9 1994 PAGE lU �
�� Mr. Kondrick stated he will vote in favor of the plat request with
the deletion of stipulation �8_ It will be a nice improvement for
this area.
Mr. Oquist agreed. This site has been kind of a dumping ground
for a long time. He also agreed to delete stipulation �8.
Ms. Modig stated she will vote in favor of the plat request;
however, she is concerned about the outdoor storage. There are
other businesses in this area that have never cleaned up their
outdoor storage. If they eiiminate stipulation �8 regarding the
minimum lot area, does Mr. Lund need to get a�variance?
Mr. Newman stated that by approving the piat, they are approving
the lot as it is. This is a variance of 1/10 of an acre. The City
has done this in the past for lots that would otherwise be
unbuildable, so a precedent has already been set.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to recommend to City
Council approvai of P.S. #94-01, by Scott Lund of Rite-Way Home
Repair, to split the East 180 feet of Lot 3, Block 1, Central View
Manor 2nd Addition, and comb.ine it with Lots 7, 8, and 9, Block l,
Central View Manor, generally located on Highway 65 south of
Fireside Drive and north of 73 1/2 Avenue, with the following (
stipuiations: �.
� 1. The petitioner shall submit a revised site plan prior to
the issuance of a building permit showing a 5 foot hard
surface setback�along the west and north sides of the
building.
2. The petitioner shall provide addit.ional screening through
planting of seven, 6 foot high coniferous trees along the
north praperty li.ne.
3. The petitioner shall construct a minimum b foot high
screening fence along the west property line. The
screening fence shall be constructed of chain link and
contain metal slats.
4. Outdoor storage shall be permitted if the following
conditions are met: '

� 3. PUBLIC HEARING• CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING REQUEST. ZOA #94-
Ol, BY SCOTT LUND OF RITE-WAY MOBILE HOME REPAIR:
To rezone property from C-3, General Shopping Center District,
to M-1, Light Industrial.-District, on the East 180 feet of Lot
3, BLock 1, Central View Manor Second Addition, generally
located on Highway 65 south of Fireside Drive and north of 73
1/2 Avenue N.E.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to waive the
reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, AI,L VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:40 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the rezoning request only applies to the
easterly 180 feet of the Lot 3, Block 1, Central View Manor Second
Addition, which is the northerly one-third of the proposed
development property.
Ms. McPherson stated that in evaluating rezoning requests, three
criteria must be met:
1. Compatibility of the proposed use with the proposed
district;
/�`�
--- �
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 9, 1994 PAGE 12 �
�"'\ 2. Compatibility of the proposed district with adjacent uses
and zoning; and
3. Compliance with the proposed use with the proposed
district requirements_
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is requesting that the zoning
be changed from C-3, General Shopping Center district, to M-1,
Ligk�t Industrial district. The three lots to the south are
currently zoned M-1, Light Industrial. The petitioner has proposed
to construct an office/warehouse building which is a permitted use
within the M-1 district_ �
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed M-1, Light Industrial district,
would be compatible with the existing M-1, Light Industrial
district, zoning to the south and east of the subject parcel.
Parcels to the west will remain zoned C-3, General Shopping Center
district, and the parcel to the north is zoned R-4, Mobile Home,
and C-3, General Shopping Center. The mobile home park has been
located adjacent to the M-1 zoning to the east since it was
constructed in the early 1960s. There are screening requirements
in the M-1 district which require additional buffering and
screening for the residentiai zoning. Locating the M-1 zoning next
to the C-3 zoning, which is tha most intensive commercial district
in the City is a compatible zoning practice. Also, rezoning this
portion of Lot 3 wouid create a better development parcel.
i� Therefore,"the proposed district is compatible with both of the
adjacent uses and the zoning.
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed development ineets the minimum
code requirements for the M-1, Light Industrial district. The
property as proposed meets all the district requirements with the
exception of the lot area requirement discussed with the plat
request. The Council may grant a variance to the lot area during
the subdivision process. Therefore, the proposed use complies with
the proposed district requirements.
Ms. McPherson stated the rezoning meets the three criteria for
approval. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend
approval of the rezoning request with one stipulation: The plat
request, P.S. �94-04, shall be approved_ _..
Mr. Kondrick asked if staff has received any negative responses
regarding the plat or rezoning requests.
Ms. McPherson stated she received only one call from someone from
the SuperAmerica Station located south of 73rd Avenue who just
wanted information about the development but was not opposed to it.

ment, a six foot screen would be required. She stated that
currently there is a six foot chain link fence which separates the

RITE-WAY MOBILE HOME REPAIR GENERALLY LOCATED ON HIGHWAY 65

, MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Council- �
woman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee -
.�. declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing
opened at 7:51 p.m.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this request
is to replat Lot 3, Block 1, Central View Manor Second Addition and
Lots 7, 8, and 9, Block 1, Central View Manor, into one lot. She
stated that the site plan indicates a 13,000 square foot building
with associated parking and outdoor storage areas. She stated that
one of the stipulations is to add seven additional evergreens along
the north lot line and, if the existing fence is removed, the
petitioner would install a fence. Ms. Dacy stated that the
petitioner will need to submit a revised site plan showing a five
foot hardsurface parking setback from the building along the west
and north property line.
Ms. Dacy stated that another issue of concern was the lot area
which is 1.39•acres. The minimum required is 1.50 acres. She
stated that staff originally recommended that additional property
be obtained from the property owner to the west; however, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the plat without that
stipulation. She stated that the Planning Commission felt the area
to be obtained from the adjacent owner was consistent with the
lines on the south side of the parcel. She stated that staff has
also added a stipulation regarding payment of the park fee.

Councilman Schneider asked what volume of traffic is anticipated
from this development.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 4, 1994 _ PAGE�4

Mr. Lund, the petitioner, stated he did not believe that traffic
would be an issue, as it would involve mostly their employees
coming to work in the morning and then going out on various jobs
that are contracted.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if work would be done at this site.
Mr. Lund stated that all their work has been off site. He stated
that they would like to be able to park some mobile homes in the
parking lot but would not do any outside work on the premises.
Councilman Schneider asked how many mobile homes might be parked
in the parking lot. �
Mr. Lund stated that possibly three or four would be parked in the
parking lot; however, most af the time there would not be any.
Mayor Nee asked if their facility could provide space so a mobile
home could be repaired on site.
Mr. Lund stated that they are proposing to install a wide roll up
door so it will be possible for a mobile home to be moved inside.
He stated that repairs to the mobile homes are usually done in the
mobile home parks. He stated� that this is less costly than to move
the mobile home to their site for repairs.

to the west; (2) a concrete x-gutter should be installed at the
driveway entrance; and (3j concrete curb and gutter should be 8612
type curbing. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson.
Councilman Billings stated that as a result of the public hearing
on this vacation request, adjacent property owners were asked to
sign that they had no objections. He stated that the petitioner,
Mr. Lund, has been talking to the adjacent property owners, and it
appears there is a drainage pipe from the trailer court that runs
across his property and is not necessarily in the drainage ease-
ment. He stated it now appears that Mr. Lund will have to spend
$6,000 to $10,000 to replace that drainage pipe which he is not
sure should be there because it�is not in the drainage easement.
Councilman Billings stated that the adjacent property owner to the
east, Mr. Buzick, stated that he was before the Council several
years ago regarding the storm water problems in the area. At that
time, the Council informed him they would have to review the
drainage on a larger scale, rather than just his property and the
property immediately adjacent.
Councilman Billings felt that because someone is developing a piece
of property, he should not necessarily have to provide adequate
drainage for the entire area. He stated that he would like to have
(� a drainage study completed to determine who is responsible for
� drainage in this area.
Ms. Dacy, Community Uevelopment Director, stated that the existing
pipe that removes water from the mobile home park is now dis-
charging in the northeast corner of Mr. Lund's property. She
stated that Mr. Lund is obtaining an estimate to connect the
discharge pipe to the pond.
Ms. Dacy stat�d that Mr. Buziclt owns property to the south and
east. She noted the problems that he is having and that runoff
from the Super America station was backing up to his system. She
stated that each property owner is responsible for maintaining
water on his'property. She stated that Mr. Buzick and Mr. Determan
both installed drainage systems. She stated that Mr. Lund is
accepting water from adjacent properties and, if Mr. Lund develops
the land, owners would be responsible for maintaining water on
their property.
Councilman Billings stated that Mr. Determan previously had an open
ditch before the underground pipe was installed.
Ms. Dacy stated ihat installation of the underground pipe was part
of Mr. Determan's parking lot expansion.
�k;y'-�,, Councilman Billings felt that it should be determined who is re-
.� sponsible for the storm water and what kind of plan exists to
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JOLY 11, 1994 PAGE 12
�\
handle the storm water. He stated that it appears something more
than natural drainage is taking place, and the issue should be
addressed on who is responsible.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that there are a number
of issues. He stated that the drainage system in this area was
established many years ago. He stated that storm water comes from
Spring Lake Park and Mounds View and drains through this system.
He stated that the City is working with the County in conjunction
with the upgrade of Central Avenue, and it is hoped that ponding
will be established in Spring Lake Park during this improvement.
Mounds View has plans to deal with their water on Stinson
Boulevard. He stated that as those projects develop, there
probably will be reduced flow, but no major studies have been done
for this area.
Mr. Lund stated that he did not want to receive everyone else's
water, and that he has to install a pipe. He felt that.this
drainage problem has to be addressed on a broader scope as new
development occurs.
Mr. Flora stated that he did not personally feel this project is
a problem. He stated that if there are problems, individual owners
deal with their own water.
Mr. Lund stated that he did not want to go to the.expense of ^
installing the piping and then have to change it at some future
date.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, felt that perhaps Mr. Lund should
address this issue with the property owner to the north. He felt
that there should be some determination as to the history of this
water draining onto Mr. Lund's property. He stated that the usual
rule is that a property owner cannot discharge his water to another
property without approval of the owner or without having a valid
easement.
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Lund how much piping he had to
install.
Mr. Lund stated that there is a twelve inch pipe in the northeast
corner of his property, and he would have to install about 100 feet
of twelve inch pipe and then connect the back storage lot with an
eighteen inch pipe for 200 feet to the pond. He stated that this
is about 300 feet of piping that was not originally figured for
drainage.
