sidered had been given writ�en notice on the East side of Able Street

plied that as far as could be seen� this would be the last storm
draina�e in the area and according to the law� the people who drain in
the area going into any oi' these catch basins are benefiting� also if the

Councll once thc previous year and it wa� not� at that t3me� adopted .

��
property South of b4th Avenue would not be incluaea. It was explained
that most of the drainage and cost was what dischargecl tio the Highway
Department right-of-way. Mayor Nee stated he felt the City was gettiing
a good deal by cooperating with the Highway Department on this pro,7ect,
thati the pro�ect was lower as a result of negotiauions between Mr.
Comstock„ City Lngineer �,nresni, C3ty Manager Wagner and the Highway
Department and the City was saved a substantial amount of money and
in cooperating with the Highway Department the city was solving
' several problems inexpensively. Mr. Comstocx explained tne prelim-
inary report covered $2.40 a hundred square feet and the rinal
assessment figures wpuld be a total of $2,40 based on estimates witn
the one exception� that the area in Rees Addition would be assessed
approximately $1.30 per hundred square feet additional. It was
explainea the arainage area shown on the map drains to Trunk Highzaay
#4f rignt-oY-way and present�y with the highway not improved it is
not creating too much of a problem but when the highway is improved,
it will creatie problems particularly on 66th Avenue along the East
side where the snopping center is. Mayor Nee stated the highway
department as paying most of this storm sewer and what had been
paid prevlously would ne cleducted, The question was raised what
would happen to the service road nehind the shopping center to the
creek. The City Manager replied the highway department would re-
build that service road anci give it to the city, that there would
be two lanes in between and o1d University Avenue would be a service
road to 67th Avenue. A discussion was held regarding low lands
and how they would be taken care of. Mayor Nee informed trose pre-
sent tne figures might be interesting� that he had mentioned the

hfayor Nee announced a Public Hearing on rezoning from R-1 to C-1 the
Southeast Coxner of 5th Street and Mississippi Street. The City
Manager read the Notice of Hearin�. Mayor Nee inquired ii there
were anyone present who wished to be heard on the named public
hearing and explained this area was at the corner_of Mississippi
Street and 5th Street� that the proposal was to rezone it from
R-1 to C-1. Mayor Nee stated the City Council wished to see the
plans ior the medical center proposed. Dr, Richard Trezona}
petstioner� replied they had no plans at the present time. Council-
man Sheridan inquired if he knew of any overall plan oi tke prope�'Cy '
owners f�r additional zoning or what they planned to do with the
balance of their property. It was stated by Mr. Riedel� represeuting
the owners� there would be a request for the rezoning of the entire
piece with a simllar type oi zoning. Councilman Wright ass�rted this
would then have to be heard by the Planning Comm3ssion and was told it
was to be presented to them. He further stated the manner in
which it was on the agenda� the City Council. would have to act on it
separately.
The question was raiseci regarding the nature oY the business io be
planned. Dr, Trezona explained they had originally made the purchase
of' the property for the construction of a medical cl3nic� that this
plan was at a stalemate because of the question of the location oY
t y �
L V �L
the hoapital but this had been the initial 3dea, Councilman Wright
inquired ii he could say informally if this were not developed
into a medi,cal iacility whether they planned to develop it in some
other way. Dr. Trezona replied it would be developed ia some form of
the type they°had requeeted. Councilman Wright inquired ii the
Planning Co�iasion ha:d been told oi �the poaslbility that a medacal
clinic would not be put there, Dr. Trezona.replied at the time they
had brougiit it'ia it xas brought in with a requeet for the atarting
_ of construction� that they had found tha.t the rezonin� would take
longer the,n anticipated and the clinie wae bogge� down hsli way
through�t,. The City Mene.ger etated the Planning o�ieaion was still
oi the impreeeion it wae going to be e clinic. Dr. Trazona aaserted
the could have requested a 5pecial Use Permit but hadn't been of the
impreesion thie rrould be limiting and there was some question sa to
whether the clinic would go through, He furthex asserted they did
not want to eay thex'e was going to be a clinic there� that it is
liable to be a mortuary or a small businese limited to C-1. Mayor
Nee ind�,cated this did put the matter in aomewhat of a diYferent light.
Dr. 'itrezons inquired in wha.t way� the Yact the clinic was waiting
until there would be something done about the hos�ital or whether it
would be vsed for some other purpoee. Mayor Nee replied it wae his
impreseion the City Council was willing to do thie Por a clinic but
no� for other purpoaes poasible in C-l. Councilman Wright atated
it was qvite clear the hoapi�hal would be bnilt, that }�he planning
conaultant�� Mr, Walla.ce� had reco�eaded development of thia k3nd
arozuzd the hoepi'tal and it waa a�real�posaibility. Dr. Trezona
stated they Were not asking for�a medical clinic.
Mayor Nee inquired-regarding the reason ior rezoning. Dr. Trezona
replied so that it.covld be used for eomething in C-1 and so that it
covld be used Yor a medical clinic 1Y they �o wished� that it should
be rezoned ready ed that they wovld not have to go through this process
again: Dr. Trezoua inquired what would happen if the area were re-
zoned to C-1 and tkiey had plane for a clinic and then decided to sell
it•fbr a^gas statioa. Councilme.n Wright replied the City Council
operated on i'aitrh and credit oi what the people wanted done. Dr,
Trezona aflserted there was the poeaibility something elee ahould
be built there. Mr. Harvey Petereon explained they had tried to
$urry this requeet along originally by asking for a Specisl Use
Permit.
Mayor Nee inquired iP it would be satisfactory to have a firet
reading on the ordinance and not have e eecond reading until there
would be confirma�ion that 3t would be a medical clinic., Mr.
Peteraon repl3ed it seemed to him that if the zoning co�iesion had
gone tYt#�ough it and•the City Council concuzred with them by esking
ior a public heariug there ahould be no objection to it and inquired
what baeie there was for objection. Mayor Nee replied there would
have to be four votee on the ordinance to paes it. Mr. Peterson
atated there;vras no�baeie to say there rrould not be a clinic there.
Mayor Nee'replied he was auggesting a compromise that the C3ty Council
authoaize the first �eading and it R.ould show their client the in-
tention oi �the C3'ty Council- aeid when there would txe a co�itment�
they would haVe a second reading oi the ordinance. Dr. Trezona
atated thie�would'not eponsor him to have a plan drawn� th�t it
didn�t seem.to him this wae the type oY thing four men on the City
Council need'ed to have� that it wae going at it backwards. He
further,atated the intent oi the plsnning had been to look �or
larger arese in.the city and would be a perYectly logical spot to do
it. Mayor Nee replated the Planning Co�iesion had the idea thie was
tp be done for a clinic and they reco�ended it i'or the reason that
it was a�reaeonable uee Yor tha.t property� that in the aimple act
of rezoning the property� they were quadn�pleting the value of it and
the public hae a r3ght to eome participation in what dtd go there.
Mr. Petereon 'sta�ted thie had now been dragging ior eome eight months,
Councilman Wright replied they had oYYeTed a ecrr¢promise which had
been explained by Mayor Nee and he wae embarrassed becauee it wae a
good uae �or'the land and further emharrasaed by the Riedel interests
indicating they plan on rezoning the entire area to C-1� that it was
in the interest of the petitionera that the City Crnmncil make sure
the Planning Co�iesion has a cleex mind on thie matter. Councilman
�u�
Sheridan atated that with a requeat for 'the complete �ea of thie -
property from 63rd North to 65th Atrenuea and an over all'plan� the
Planning Co�3aeion would not be considering apot zoning ae'they have
indicated and thia part3cular zoning oY this.corner could trery well
�fT� into the overr,all program at that time end would es4mirtate thie
corner t�s actual epot zoning. It was.mentioned by Councilman Wright
the Planning Co�niasion did meet before the next regular Council
meeting, , „ „
a
Dr. Trezona atated the Planning Co�iasion hired a p],anning coneultant�
and inquiredif Mr, Wallace.would epeak on the matter. The City ' -�-
Manager replied the Planning Co�isaion had spent qu'SC� a bit of time
on this entire area but becauae of the fact Dr: TrezOna had petitioned
so long ago� they had held a hearing.. He explained the,Plahning
Commieaion hopes hy October 15th to have met 'with the City Couneil
about this eni.iae area and Mr, Wallace was not in a position this
euening to make any coffinents on what he is thinking on this asea�
that the Planning Coulmieaion had centered their dSAcuaeion around �. �
the fact they were s�udying this area including the Riedel proper'ty'
and their feeling Was they could recon�end rezouing thie particular
piece because a medical clin3c� as gUCh� would not take'away;,Yrota �
whatever zoning they would choose.ax�d put it ofP balance. Mr. Wi111am
Whitmore� resident� stated Dr. Trezona had stated there was no •
opposition� 6ut that he would have noticed citizene objec'ting to epot
zoning 3f he had been-pre�erit,rthe pasrt-ceot�lle'°ot', years,�a�G�Gme,etings
that due to quite a bit.of apo� rezOning� oiti�zea8 tf8�0iGe a little �
skept3cal and the City Coimcil ia very much in their right taking
a sharp look at this before they openly throw it to C-1 zoning where
a clini.c might be acoeptable to the neighborhood. Mr. Whitmore �
further stated there ia always oppoaition w'hen apot zoning comes in.
Mr. Peterstln replied he felt the term apot zoning ian�t used ��
correetly in th3a instanee� that acroas the street from thie parti-
cular piece of land is light induatrial and cov�erciel zoning_and �
there is no one who would build a residence on this,particular p�rner. I
Mr. Wallace�.planning consultant for the City of Fridley�'stated it J
would be improper for him to speak on this �tter this evening� that
the Planning Co�ission did not deeignate him to do ao but that the
entire area was being studied. Dr. '�xezona stated they had,no inten-
tion of usurping the right of the City Council but they had gone _
through every procese legally and in accordane with the etatutas
and would like to continue to do so� that he had Yelt theq had �
brou�ht this up beiore that his was not necessarily going to be,a
medical clinic.. HePfurther stated they would wait foF the eecond�
reading of the ordinsnce and aee what wovld happen� that there-�rsa,
no way he could bring in a set of p18Y�s and a client, Councilman
Wright stated he wished the minutes to ahaw the City Council�did,r
appreciate the forthright remarks oi' Dr. Trezona. �",
Maynr-Nee adv3aed the City Council to table the item� that � in'his
judgement� there had been no case made of the requeat; Conncilman �i
Kirkham stated he knew the people the,t lived directly across,the �- i
street would be opposed to a rezoning to C-l� that many had'esked
him already wha.t Was planned for this corner snd ae long as it;wes j
something in the nature of a medical clihic there waa no'objection I
but with a poasibility of making the entire area C-1 they �zould�have
something to say and would prefer to table the en,tire queation.
Councilman Sheridan asserted that as this was the public heaxing��
there was no other action to be taken on it this even3ng.,`Mayor Nee i
indicated the public hearing could be continued. MrA'. Wa11y Miakowic�
repxesentin� the Buainess and Profesaiona.l Building ttarbse,the atreet ,
from the proposed zonin�� stat,ed ahe had no perticular objection to �
the rezoning for a medical cl3nic Uut would prefer the item'be roon- '
aidered by the Plann3ng Co�isaion in conjunction wi'�h the YFiedal
property as a whole and that etorm drainage and the completion,�of ,
streets be planned at the seme time. Counci].ma.n Wright'inquired ,if
the motion to table the item could include that the City Manager be i
�3n�truc�ed to prepare an ordinance,' Mayor Nee explained the aeneible i
thing to do would be to have a concrete proposal and if lt eeemed,� I
„_
the pwblic intereet ctae serveda he would vote ior it but there hadn't
been any case�made the public Ynterest was served,

this was a traific hazard because cars are going in and out of the lot
where there is no access on University and should be blocked off and
there ie no accesa designated th� full length of Misaissippi Street,
that the dirt blows from the parking lot and is in v3olation also
and the City Council ehould ;�ake eome steps. The City Manager replied
that und�r the ordinance the Theise2r Market has eufPicient porking
for their store on the side of the street the store is located and
they don't call it a parking lot, Councilman Kirkham si;ated it ehould
�e blocked off because it is a hazard. The City Manager explained as
far ss a barricade� the State Highway Department and County of Anoka
wou],d have to do that. Council�an Wright suggeated perhaps Councilman
