facilities would be necessary. Mr. Sheridan stated that the City

PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING PART OP AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION'NO. 39 - ARVID
IIANSEN REQiT�ST-
2`he City Manager read the notice of hearing and pointed out the area to
be rezoned, and explained the zoning of the surrounding area. Mr. Iiarry
olson, 4229 Main Street was present, and stated that he had a petition
with 42 signatures on it of owners of property wYthin 500 feet oi the
proposed rezoning who were opposed to the rezoning. Most of the people
on the petition lived in Colusnbia Heights. Mr. Wolke stated that it
�4=
would be difficult to visualize building anything in this particular area
except commercial ox industrial. 7.'he question was asked, why a narrow
strip like the'one in question was left R-1 in the fixst place. Mr.
Wolke stated tha� at the time the City was first zoned, the owners of
property often times were given the choice of which zoning they wanted.
Mr. Wo1ke asked who was requesting the rezoming, and the answer was
Arvid Hansen. Mr. Kocur, 4201 Main Street, Columbia Heights, was present
and stated that he had called the County Engineer's office, and the
County Engineer plans tq make Main street a 66 foot street, and therefore,
would be taking additional property, and there would not be enough setback
for the proposed buildinq. Mrs. John Gemperle, 4213 Main Street, Columbia l
Iieights,,was present and stated that when she built she had to have the
proper area and setback, and why can someone else build without it. Mr. i
Robert Turnquist,,4207 Main street, Columbia Heights, stated that if the
building were ta go in, it would be too close to the road. Mr. Stewart
Kvalheim, attorney;representing Mr. Hansen was prasent, and presented
the Council with a drawing of �he type of building that Mr. Hansen
proposed to erect on the p'roperty. He stated that the property in
question is 132 feet deep and 300.63 fe�t long. He stated that there would
be a 66 foot stx@gt separating the building from the residents, plus a
total of about 70 feet of setback. Mr. Kvalheim stated'that the building
would be the same type of building as Acme Metal Spinning has, and would
be the same general type of construction. The elevation of property
drops off on the west side of the property, and therefore, the level
of the building would actually be below M�.in Street. A person trom the
audience,stated that the property presently is not entirely surrounded
by M-2, but only has M-2 on two sides, and the people would have no
guarantee that this type of building as proposed, would go in. Mr.
stated�that his client woulti have not gone through all of the trouble
of getting this �roperty rezoned, etc., if they had not intenede to put
up a good type of building. The Mayor stated that he believed a build-
ing of this type would be good for the City of Fridley, Mr, Johanson
pointed out that although the people present were generally from
Columbia Heights,',the greatest percentage of taxes would go to the
Columbia Heights School District which would benefit them. The
question was asked if there was anaagreement with the Citg of Columbia
Heights in regards to matters such as this, so that the people o£
Columb'ia Heights could be represented at the Fridley Council Meeting.
Mr'. Wolke asked mf'the building would face Main Street. Mr. Kvalheim
sta�ed that it would. Mr. Wolke asked what the setback woulcl be. Mr.
Kvalheim stated that the setback would"be 51 feet from the Main Street
ra.ght-of-way. The building would be 70 x 110, and would be closer to
the northerly lane of the property, th�n to the southerly line. Mr.
Wolke pointed,out t�hat if the property were to be built on as residential
construction, that only four houses could go on this property, and most
likely they would be the lower pric�"of house. Mr. Sheridan stated"'that it
has been the policy on certain rezoning in the past, that if the property
is not used, or the building is not statted within a one-year period,
the zoning would revert back to the previous zoning. Mr, Kohlan,
city Attorney, stated that the Council is privileged to make certain
stipulations in the rezoning, or the building permit. Mr. Hansen
stated that light industrial zoning would handle anything that would
propose the building for, and heavy industrial would not be necessary.
The Mayor declared the hearing closed.

turbances. Mr. Dittmar stated that they would like to,try a different

put in the window. Mr. Wolke stated that the owner should file a com-
plaint again�t all persons creating disturbances at the property. The

they all have occurred at Terry's Club, and the club cannot continue to

club which was the largest in the state o£ Colorado, ahd had had no
trouble. Mr. Dittmar stated that he would be willing to give to the
Chief of Police the key to the back door, so that he could come in and
check the premises. Mr. Sheridan stated that the proprietors can try to
correct, but they could not guarantee that there would�not be any more
disturbances, but if they would do what they say they are going to do,
they would eliminate a lot of the trouble, and he would be in favor of
issuing the licenses, if they take the measures which they stated they
would. If there are more disturbances at the premises between now and
lUu
April 30, 1962, he would not vote for renewal of the licenses at that
time. Mr. Wolke stated that he agreed with Mr. Sheridan, but the full
burden should not be on the owner. If the owner files complaints against
the people creating the disturbance, he should be able to continue to
operate. Mr, Bob Pearson was present, and stated the Council should

liability insurance. Mr.`Wolke asked haw about fi,he other places where
