NE ��, Clayton Hicks, 106 Hartman Circle , Dick Kemper, 7857 Alden APPROVAL OF DECEMBER 3, 1997, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES: MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to approve the December 3, 1997, Planning Commission minutes as written. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED TSE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AREA MEETING: AREA #7 Ms. Savage stated the purpose of the meeting is to solicit comments about the future of the city. The city is beginning a process to update its comprehensive plan. This meeting is one of six meetings which the Planning Commission is conducting to get residents' ideas about the future. It is not the purpose of the meeting to discuss individual problems or issues which you may now have with the city. Rather, the Planning Commission encourages residents to provi,de comments about the city's future and what goals you think the city should pursue. Mr. Hickok stated the meeting is for planning area #7. This is the last of the planning area meetings to gather information from � the public about what they wish to see in the future for Fridley in an effort to aid staff as they prepare amendments to the comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan is a document that PLANNING CO1�Il�IISSION MEETING, DECEt�ER 17, 1997 PAGE 2 ,'�, guides the city in making decisions in the areas of development, redevelopment, preservation, utilities, transportation, parks, etc. The document itself is in need of updating. Mr. Hickok stated, in 1976, the Minnesota legislature passed the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. As part of that, the city prepared its first comprehensive plan. At that time, they were projecting into the 1990's. It is now time to move beyond those projections and set some new projections for the future. It is important as staff undergoes this process to take in comments from residents. Some comments have been received through surveys which were mailed to residents. Mr. Hickok stated planning area #7 is located west of East River Road to the Mississippi River, north of Rice Creek, and extends north to the city boundary. 1,144 surveys were mailed to residents in this planning area on November 24 and 67 surveys were returned for a return rate of 5.80. Most respondents have been residents in the city between 11 and 40 years. Most respondents were between the ages of 40 and 60. Responses were grouped into the categories of parks, city services, property upkeep, amenities, city government, taxes, people, access/ location, traffic/speed, safety, land uses, image, schools, cleanliness of �` streets, and snow removal. Generally, respondents were very satisfied with the parks, amenities, people and access/location. Less favorable responses were noted in the areas of property upkeep, traffic/ speed, and land uses. Mr. Hickok stated staff is now gathering data. As they move forward and talk about transportation, utilities and land use for the future, this information will help act as a guide when making decisions about modifications to the comprehensive plan. This is the last of the neighborhood meetings. The Planning Commission and the public will have the opportunity to review and comment further on the suggested amendments to the comprehensive plan in the upcoming months. Residents who have not completed surveys are encouraged to contact city staff to present their comments. Mr. Bromenschenkel stated he sells real estate and works in the area. When he brings people to Fridley, their big concern is the number of trains. They have noticed an increase in the noise. He was wondering if anyone else has ever complained about that. Ms. Savage stated she thought the noise of the trains had been noted in the surveys. Mr. Bromenschenkel asked if there were more trains now. They have lived in their home for 10 years, and it seems as though there are � more trains. They blow the whistles in the middle of the night. Is there is any way of finding out what the traffic pattern is? � PLANNING COl�lISSION ME�TING, DECEL��ER 17, 1997 PAGE 3 Mr. Hickok stated staff can follow up on that. In the early 1970's, there were changes made to the switching yards which enable the railroad to switch cars and other things. Over time, that industry has grown. His guess is that there has been an increase in the number of trains and cars. The city has received a number of comments. As these calls come in, they are provided with the Federal safety standards so they understand why the whistles are blown at these distances and why they continue to blow them for a time. We have had questions as to whether the city can control this. .The city cannot. The city is pre-empted by the Federal government regulations. We can make comments to them about that. Ms. Savage asked what citizens can do when they have concerns about the trains. Mr. Hickok suggested citizens call Burlington Northern. If someone has a general question about the Federal regulations, they can contact Mr. Hickok who will provide information about enforcement. Mr. Hickok will try to get the name of a contact person at Burlington Northern and residents can contact him for the name of that person. � Ms. Ruschy stated she had a conversation with a Burlington Northern employee at an October safety program. At that time, he said there were at least 50 trains that go through there a day. The whistles are louder in the winter because there are no leaves on the trees and the air is denser. The whistles are louder because they built new homes where there once was a wild area and they installed hills to protect the homes from the railroad tracks. When the hills were put in there, the whistles got louder. Ms. Ruschy stated she has several concerns. She feels at times that in this portion of Fridley they are forgotten when it comes to dealing with street signs, crime watch signs, etc. She feels they are forgotten there because they are not specifically in the area. They cannot have the neighborhood values signs there because they are not in the Fridley school district. Her wish is that there would be more cooperation between having the children who live in this area going to the Fridley schools. In a way, they don't belong anywhere. The Coon Rapids district is very large. Fridley High School, she did not believe, was filled to capacity. Something might be considered where an arrangement could be made for the children to go Fridley schools with busing made available. Ms. Ruschy stated she has another concern about their neighborhood �' enforcement officer. She was called with a question concerning a � PLANNING COI�lISSION MEETING, DECEr�ER 17, 1997 PAGE 4 specific incident from two weeks ago, and he never returned her call. When she did reach him, he said there was no record of an incident on her block, but three neighbors saw it and approached her about it. She called him, and he stated there was no record of the police being at this address on her street. The neighbors however saw three police cars there. If the neighborhood officer could not tell her because this was of a secret nature or something, she could have accepted that explanation but he stated there was no record. She called several days later and asked the police department why they were there. At this time, the women she spoke with gave her all the information that she needed to know. Th,e neighborhood enforcement officer has the responsibility of communicating with the neighborhood, and it does make her feel comfortable with what has been happening. Ms. Ruschy stated she knows that officers volunteer for specific areas. She does not know if the officer was ill and could not call back. She stated she would like to know, and he stated he would get back to her and he did not call. She feels that they are discounting their concerns about the neighborhood and being a neighborhood watch person. Her neighbors had a question about what was happening and asked her to find out for them. !^' Ms. Ruschy stated she enjoys living in Fridley to the changes that will be taking place in the plan. She has concerns about the construction traffic on East River Road. She would like to that is going affect their daily lives, when it how that will happen. and looks forward comprehensive and delay in hear more about how is starting, and Mr. Hickok asked Ms. Ruschy to clarify her comments about the signs. Ms. Ruschy stated her one concern was �he crime watch signs. They have never had one. Mr. Hickok stated he will provide information on how to obtain a crime watch sign, and he will pass along the information regarding the neighborhood incident to the police department. Mr. Hickok reviewed the comments received from the surveys. Ms. Savage stated comments about dark streets and the lack of street lights have been received from a number of areas. In a neighborhood in Minneapolis, they added ornamental lights and, at the same time, crime had gone down. She thought that is something the city could work on. � Ms. Modig stated there was at one time a ban on gas lights in the individual yards. She asked if that was still in effect. PLANNING COI�lISSION MEETING, DECII�ER 17 , 1997 PAGE 5 Mr. Hickok stated he did not know and that he would follow up on that. Ms. Modig stated this information could be included in the newsletter. She would be interested to know whether residents could have an ornamental gas light and, if not, an electrical light instead. There are areas where these ornamental lights would be nice to have. Mr. Hicks stated, regarding the crime watch sign, there is a way to get a crime watch sign. It is a matter of getting the people in the neighborhood together and getting the sign. It can be done but it takes some commitment. Mr. Hicks stated, regarding the railroad tracks, Hartman Circle is a death trap in the morning and evening getting in and out of there. There have been some accidents but someday there is going to be a bad one. The traffic moves fast on East River Road. When you pull out of Hartman Circle whether going north or south, there is a wall. You cannot see far enough back to get out their safely. He tells people they live on the wrong side of the tracks in Fridley. Because of the railroad, you cannot get through !"� there. He has had days where he has been across there four times and was stopped three times at the same crossing. It seems there should be some limit that the railroad°can block these crossings. This seems like a safety problem for emergencies. Frequently, traffic is blocked for a long time. Another concern is that there are many motorists who ignore stop signs-and no turn on red. There are any number of times that your life is in danger trying to enter a street. Ms. Strand stated she organized the Riverview Heights area before becoming a block captain. They did meet and asked for a sign for a year. At that time, Bonnie Haffa had asked for a sign but they never did receive it. They have had several block meetings and they gather several times a year for block parties so they should be able to get a sign. Ms. Strand stated their park was greatly improved in the last year but they find some unwanted things going on there such as the destruction of property. The children do not want to go there anymore because the teenagers harass them out of there. That is a big concern in the neighborhood. They have several houses that seem to be attracting problems. This has been addressed but she does not know what is happening. When officials are called, they are not receiving calls back with information. Ms. Strand stated the streets are pretty good. She would like to find a way to lower the speed limit by the park to 20 miles per �� i'�� PLANNING CO1�lISSION NN�EETING, DECENN�ER 17, 1997 PAGE 6 hour like they do around the schools. Regarding city government, she is pleased with many of their activities. The city helped her out a lot during the storms and cleaning up brush. Last year, they helped her also. As far as the people, friendly Fridley has earned its name. She does feel isolated in this neighborhood and that, in order for them to be heard, they have to make a big stink. This is not right because they are still a part of Fridley. She expressed appreciation for letting the residents be a part of this process. Mr. Stahlberg stated someone had mentioned property upkeep. In his neighborhood, the big one is junk cars. He has called and talked with people. Throughout the city, there are problems but his neighborhood has a few real doozies. He does not feel that the city is doing what they should on that. Also, external remodelling projects get started and some go on forever. Supposedly there is a State code that says you cannot force people to finish it. His idea is a performance bond. It is great to see people wanting to improve their properties but, if it is a half finished project for a long period of time - one, two, even three years - there is no excuse for that. He did not know if there was any law against a performance bond to encourage people to finish projects in a timely manner. Mr. Stahlberg stated they had talked about parks. In some of the parks, they have put in some nice colorful playground equipment. The park at 79th Way on the Mississippi River gets very little use. There are a few times in the summer when they see a few people throwing a baseball around or shooting baskets. He did not know if they were planning to increase these gymnastic sets for the parks. He thought they should monitor the parks to see how much use there is and how many younger kids are there to use the equipment. You would have to go through the schools to find that out. Mr. Stahlberg stated there was a comment about people running red lights. There is no standard to the length of a yellow lights. Some of them are ridiculously short. If you look at the big intersections like University Avenue and Highway 65 at Mississippi or Osborne, you cannot speed up. If you happen to be in the intersection at the yellow, the light is sometimes red by the time you get through the intersection. When there are semi trucks going through, you cannot stop a semi like a car. He thought that has to do with the County or State but there are no standard length to the yellow lights and he thought that should be longer. Mr. Stahlberg stated, at Springbrook on 85th, the speed limit is 50 mph. This is a commercial area. You have people pulling in � and out of the theater, the shopping area, the industrial park ' across from Springbrook, etc. That speed should be 35 to 40 mph � PLANNING CONIl�lISSION MEETING, DECII�ER 17 , 1997 PAGE 7 especially in the spring when the road starts to roll. At 50 mph near the railroad tracks, you nearly become airborne. He thought this should be addressed. Mr. Stahlberg stated his first issue is the junk cars and houses that are not being kept up. That is the first thing that gets a neighborhood going downhill. In his neighborhood, there have been vacant lots for sale for 5-6 years and no one buys them. He is assuming they are standard lots. No one wants them because they are so close to these junk yards. The vacant lots on Glencoe , where the city took out houses were nearly given away at $3,000 per lot when anywhere else in the city they are going for $20,000 or more, especially that close to the river. The city buys the property, knocks down the houses, and then gives the lot away for $3,000. If you would run that through a realty company, you could get more money than that. He thought the city was losing money that way. Ms. Savage stated the issue of junk cars is a concern in many areas. Mr. Hickok stated that junk cars were not overlooked in the survey. The city has had over 280 cases this year on junk cars � alone. Of those, 188 cars were placarded where the owner is given 5 days to get the vehicle operational, stored or off the property. Out of the 188 vehicles that were placarded, less than 10 were towed. The city has a code enforcement officer that responds to these types of issues. The 280 junk cars is only one of the issues. The city has a systematic process, and the goal is inspect the entire city to eliminate junk vehicles and to eliminate the need for residents to call about neighbors. Staff will continue to work on that until the junk vehicles are cleaned up. While part of the city has been done, we have not yet been to this specific neighborhood with the systematic process. He can say, however, that many of the vehicles that were towed were from this neighborhood. Mr. Hickok stated a building permit is alive for 120 days. The process is structured to allow people to work on their own home. It is difficult from an enforcement standpoint to know if trim has been put on, detail work done inside, etc., to keep a building permit alive. He did not have a response to the suggestion of a performance bond. The city is guided by the State and Uniform Building Code. . Mr. Hickok stated, regarding the vacant lots, the city has a housing replacement program. He thought one has to look beyond the cost of the lot. If the city turns around a lot that they have purchased, the idea is to get a home of greater value back on it within a given period of time. There are stipulations involved PLANNING CONIl��SSSION MEETING, DEGII�ER 17 , 1997 PAGE 8 � when buying a lot. TYie buyer must agree to put a home on it within a certain period of time, the home must be of a certain value, and the city must approve the design. It is more of a partnership to get a home back on the lot, creating some tax value, and getting a reinvestment in the neighborhood. While the price of the lot may look cheap, we have a number of lots available and have little interest from realtors or others to buy them. Mr. Sielaff asked if the building permit needed to be displayed. Mr. Hickok stated yes. The permit must be seen from the street. Mr. Sielaff asked if there was a expiration date. Mr. Hickok stated the project is kept alive as long as the resident continues to work on it. If they were to stop working on a project and let it sit for 120 days, their permit would become ineligible and they would need to get another permit. Ms. Strand stated she had a permit and her time was within a year. She put in new windows and new siding. When the year was up, the inspector called to inspect the house. But she has seen some �"'� houses which have displayed the building permits for 2 or 3 years. She thought these people should be called. Mr. Hickok stated the inspectors do call. If they have not heard from a property owner or have seen activity from the street, they will call to make sure the project is moving forward. Mr. Ruschy asked when the city would begin the systematic code enforcement in their area. She is specifically interested in how three houses are kept up on Janesville. She calls once in a while, and it seems that nothing is happening. One house is vacant. The city was going to buy it but the owner then decided to fix it up. It is still sitting there. One is owned by an elderly couple who now live somewhere else. This seems to be a place where crime happens. What can the city do about those houses or to communicate with the residents about what is happening with them in the process? Mr. Hickok stated the city has an inventory of vacant homes which they�keep and which is coordinated with the utility billers. They check with the code enforcement staff. If there is suspicion of criminal activity, that is coordinated with the police department. It is possible when someone calls in that they may talk to the housing coordinator who may be talking with the owners about a possible purchase, to the code enforcement officer if their is a ^ code issue about property conditions, or to the law enforcement officials if there is criminal activity. In the scattered site � PLANNING CONIlKISSION N�ETING, DECII�ER 17, 1997 PAGE 9 housing program, we do not purchase property unless there is dangerous property that is harmful to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood. It is a negotiated purchase between the city as a buyer and the owner. One of the homes mentioned on Janesville was one that the city was interested in purchasing. The owner however decided to keep it and make some improvements. Mr. Hicks stated there are over 300 block watch captains in Fridley. He wondered if there could be cooperation between the block captains and the police department regarding vacant homes? Mr. Hickok stated this seems like a good suggestion. While he cannot speak for the police department, staff are interested in getting any help possible on abandoned properties. Mr. Bromenschenkel stated, when talking about houses being improved, would there be any merit to the City of Fridley before property is sold having a code compliance inspection to bring the property up to code before selling. Mr. Hickok stated, in 1997, they did an extensive evaluation of a point of sale ordinance that would require an inspection and to bring properties up to code. They found that this is an ^ information only process in communities that now do this. Other communities have a hazardous condition correction process where the person selling the property is responsible to make improvements. This did not address the issues which the speakers are talking about. The things you see from the street may require a housing maintenance program. Mr. Sielaff stated he is hearing that the truth in housing which is information only does not make any difference as to whether the house is improved by a buyer. Mr. Hickok stated the truth in housing is a disclosure document that is information only. The point of sale ordinance investigated by staff on paper may appear to be the way to get some of the code enforcement issues taken care of, but staff found that this is an information only mechanism as well. To take it a step further, you would need to have inspectors on staff separate from building code inspectors which would be a considerable investment for what they were finding. They did some sample inspections just to see how the point of sale ordinance would impact owners. There were few things revealed. Many issues found predated the code requirements. Mr. Sielaff asked if the insgections required to be sure the improvements had been made was not worth the cost to do that. � Mr. Hickok stated, if you are really revealing hazardous � PLANNING CONIl�SSION MEETING, DECEI�ER 17, 1997 PAGE 10 r conditions, that is a wonderful thing. To truly be an enforcement, you would have to a staff of inspectors, an unbiased inspection by a third party, and another inspector to make sure the work is done. We do not have the staff. From what was found in the sample inspections, there weren't the type of conditions you might expect through this process. The majority of the items predated the code. A housing maintenance code would address those visible things that people are more concerned about. Mr. Sielaff asked if there was any benefit to have the disclosure of information. Mr. Bromenscfienkel stated Minneapolis has truth in housing which is an awareness of what the house does or does not have. The City of New Hope requires the homeowner pay a fee up front to have the inspection. If there are code compliance problems, the owner has to have them repaired before they can actually close. He can see in one respect what they are looking at. Going through this is expensive. HUD now requires a buyer to either accept a third party coming out and paying for the inspection or having a team of inspectors go out, do the inspection and submit a report. Perhaps that would offset some of that. It would help in code compliance. He thought the truth in housing was a joke. It is an awareness. � The truth in housing does nothing for the buyer. Ms. Bolkcom stated her house was inspected when the city was considering the point of sale ordinance. The issues that came up were things like the traps in the back flow preventers. When they looked an ordinance, they wondered what they could do to help fix up homes and encourage people to maintain them? Most of the inspections were not getting at that issue. There is a difference between a house being sold and a house that has people living in it for years. They are still looking at other options for maintaining homes. They were in favor of an ordinance, but after having the inspections done and not finding any obvious issues, they did not proceed. Mr. Hicks stated, regarding the truth in housing, his family sold a house in Ramsey County a few years ago. In order to sell, some issues had to be resolved in the City of St. Paul. They had to pay someone to come in and inspect, make out a report, and get the permits for which they paid a fee. The City of St. Paul stated the work would be inspected but no inspection was ever done. They did the work and the house of eventually sold, but there was no follow up by the St. Paul inspectors. Ms. Strand stated her home would probably never pass an inspection. When she bought the home, the air exchanger was held ^ together with duct tape. When the home was inspected before the sale, it passed. The realtor stated it depended on the inspector. � P7�ANNING CONIl�lISSION MEETING, DECEH�ER 17 , 1997 PAGE 11 Ms. Strand stated the neighborhood officers have gone to 12-hour days and perhaps the contact of"ficer does not work as often as they used to. She was wondering if going back �0 8-hour days would provide more contact with the officers on a more regular basis. 2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REQUEST, SAV #97-02, BY TODD BACHMAN OF BACHMAN'S, INC.: To vacate a drainage and utility easement located adjacent to the south lot line of Lot 2, Block 2, Caba Realty First Addition, generally located at 8200 University Avenue N.E. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. IJPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED T8E MOTION CARRIED AND TSE PITBLIC �n�T'�G OPII�T AT 8• 50 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner had a conflict and was unable to attend the meeting. Mr. Hickok stated the request is by Bachman's, Inc., for a retail � facility. The city recently completed a rezoning for the C-2 - parcel and a plat along with Sam's Club to create an individual lot for the 25,000 square foot retail facility. Construction of the facility is now underway and soil correction is being done. In the process of doing the title work, a survey revealed a ' residual easement running through the parcel in a east/west fashion. Bachman's is asking for that easement to be vacated. In exchange, they have agreed to dedicate an new easement along the northerly property line. The adjacent property has a five-foot easement which would be matched by Bachman's to provide a ten-foot easement. Ten feet is the amount of space required to the City to access the area in order to do repairs. The new easement would still lead to the storm pond shared by Sam's Club and Bachman's. Mr. Hickok stated staff has reviewed the vacation request and recommends approval with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall dedicate a 190 foot long by five foot wide easement along the northwest lot line of Lot 2, Block 1, Walton 2nd Addition. The easement document shall be prepared by the petitioner and submitted to the City by January 23, 1998. The petitioner shall record the easement within 30 days of City Council approval. 2. The easterly 550 feet of the easement shall be vacated in � order to keep a continuous easement along the north lot line of Lot 2. ^ PLANNING CONIl�IISSION MEETING, DE�ER 17 , 1997 PAGE 12 r Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner agreed with the stipulations.
