BUILDING PERMIT - 5519 - 4TH STREET NORTHP�ASS (TABLED 7/19/65, 8/2/65):
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Larson, owners of property at 5519-4th Street Northeast,
and Felix Mannella, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Larson, were present at the
Council Meeting.
The Mayor informed the Council that the Council had before it a separate
report in the form of an action under the new State Statute concerning
dangerous buildings. Mayor Nee stated that the owner of this property
� is Clarence Larson and the mortgagor of the praperty is Ttain City Federal
Savings and Loan. Mayor Nee stated that the Council also has a report
describing the condition of the home and listing items of the structure
which are sub-standard. Mayor Nee stated that the Council also has beFore
it the report of the Health Inspector and a list of things to be done to
restore the building to habitable condition.
�
Mr. Mannella stated that the repairs stipulated by the City require
Mr. Larson to tear down the building and rebuild it completely. He stated
that Mr, Larson does not have funds to do this. Mr. Mannella stated that
the owner is not required to make two repairs upon the Uuilding, one
repair for the storm damage and the other to bring the building up to
code. He stated that people have been occupying this home for some time,
and some repairs are necessary to make the home again suitable for
occupation, Mr. Mannella presented the Council with a list of repairs
which the owner proposed to make upon the building.
Mayor Nee stated that the list of repairs proposed by the owner does not
include those repairs listed by the Building Inspection Department which
are the most serious so far as the structural defects of the building are
concerned. Mr. Mannella stated that the City Building Code does not require
an owner to tear down and rebuild a structure to Code, when the structure
was bailt before the Code was written and the structure has not been
damaged more than 25% or 50%. Mr. Mannella stated that in his opinion the
requirements of the City are very reasonable and that it is unreasonable to
require a property owner to tear down a building and reconstruct it.
Mayor Nee read the report of the Building Inspector. He stated that the
structure has been found to be unsafe and in very poor condition. He
stated that the oroposal of the owner to repaint the building and put in
windows is insufficient to make the lauilding a safe structure. Mr. Mannella
stated that the property owner would comply with the stipulations of the
City except for tearing down the building and rebuilding it.
Councilman Wright read portions of the State Statute concerning dangerous
buildings. He asked Mr. Mannella to comment concerning the State Statute
rather than the Building Permit. Mr. Mannella stated that until such time
1;� 2'
as the City could effect an order to vacate and repair or demolish the
structure, Mr. Larson is entitled to a Building Permit to repair the
structure. Mr. Mannella said that the owner has tenants in the house
and the structure needs immediate repairs, Mr, Mannella stated that
he believes a question exists whether the building is dangerous to
occupancy and a considerable time may elapse before it is determined
that the building is indeed dangerous to occupancy. He stated that the
only information given the property owner concerning the structure was the
report of the Health Inspector. The Council provided Mr. Mannella with a
copy of the report of the Euilding Inspector.
Motion by Kirkham that a Building Permit to repair the storm damage to �
the structure at 5519-4th Street N.E, be granted to Mr. Clarence Larson,
and that repairs include recommendations of the Building Inspector
numbered 1,2,3,4,6 and 7. Councilman Thompson stated that he did not
hear a second to the motion,
Councilman Wright stated that he is informed that the proper procedure is
to grant the Building Permit contingent upon the owners complying with
the stipulations of the Building Inspector within a time of 30 or 60 days.
Councilman Wright stated that it is up to the City to initiate the action
against the property owner. Councilman Thompson stated that he does not
believe a time period of 30 to 60 days is adequate to effect repair of the
structure, -
Mayor Nee stated that the motion fails for lack of a second.
Motioa by Wright to issue a Building Permit to Mr. Clarence Larson for
repair of the structure at 5519-4th Street N.E, contingent upon completion
of the twelve items recommended by the Building Inspection Department to
bring the condition of the structure into compliance with the City Code,
to set a time limit of 90 days for the repairs whereafter the City shall
proceed against the structure in accordance with the State Statute of 1965.
Seconded by Thompsono
Councilman Kirkham asked whether it is the intention of Councilman Wright '
to include in the motion repair of items not damaged by the storm. Council-
man Wright answered, "Yes". Councilman Kirkham stated that the property
owner did not ask for a permit to make such repairs. Councilman Kirkham
stated that he believes the property owner should be granted the Building
Permit for which he applied. �
Mr. Mannella stated that the Council is taking the position that his client
has not built a house in compliance with the City Code. He stated that the
house was built before the Code existed and_ the City Code does not require
that repairs be made to buildings to bring them into compliance with the
Code unless the buildings have been substantially damaged and this building
is not 25% damaged, Mr. Mannella stated that the Council is placing a
stringent burden upon the property owner and the property owner does not
have the money to effect reconstruction of the house. Mr. Mannella stated
that he does not believe the owner should be required to make these additional
repairs since he has already suffered damage to the structure as a result of
the storm. Mayor Nee replied that the owner should have taken action to make
his building a safe structure for habitation regardless of storm damage.
Mr. Mannella asked why the City makes the condition upon granting the Building
Permit that the building he repaired to bring it into compliance with the Code,
He stated that the City should rather grant a Building Permit and if the City
finds that the building is a hazard, proceed to court and obtain an order to
vacate, demolish or repair the home. Councilman Wright stated that the new ,
statute requires the City to provide the property owner with notice of the
intention to require repairs of the building and ask the Court for an order
enforcing the statute. Councilman Wright stated that if the City does not
take this action at this time when the owner asks for a Building Permit,
the City would have to take the action in the future and issue another
Building Permit for repairs to bring the condition of the structure to Code.
I-Ie stated that in this manner the City would have to go through a procedure
twice. Mr. Mannella answered that the City could present a separate memorandum
to the owner requiring him to make repairs to bring the structure into
compliance with the Code and at this time grant him a Building Permit to make
repairs to the structure. He stated that the City is placing an extreme
hardship on the property owner by not granting him a Suilding Permit to
make repairs to the structure.
133
Mr. Mannella asked why this property owner is being singled out Eor
action under the Dangerous Building Ordinance and the Statute when there
are other buildings in a similar condition in the City of Fridley.
Councilman Wright stated that other dangerous buildings may exist in the
City of Fridley but the Council acts when the conditf�n of these buildings
is brought to the attention of the Council.
Councilman Kirkham stated that he believes the Council is obligated to give
the property owner a Building Permit. Mr. 7uster, the Acting City Attorney,
stated that the Council could grattt a Building Pexmit to the owner to make
� repairs upon the structure and leave the extent of repairs to the discretion
of the owner. He stated that the owner could make repairs and hazard a
law suit for repairs he did not make.
Councilman Wright stated that his motion permitted the owner to make 12
repairs to the building upon receiving the Building Permit. Mr. Mannella
stated that in his opinion Mr. Wright's motion to grant a Building Permit
was contingent upon the accomplishment Uy the owner of the 12 repairs
stipulated rather than permitting the owner to make repairs upon the
structure, Councilman Wright stated that he Uelieves the motion iniorms
the owner that the City requires the 12 repairs to be made. Mr. Mannella
stated that the City can inform the owner that the 12 repairs are required
without making the granting of a�uilding Permit contingent upon acceptance
of the 12 repairs.
Councilman Wright stated thathe withdraws his motion. Councilman
Thompson stated that he consents to withdrawing the motion.

AMERICAN OIL COMPANY: PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION
The Citq Engineer showed the Council a map of the area of the proposed
� pipeline construction. Mr. Comstock explained that [he American Oil
Company has two choices. One choice is to buy property from the property
owners and relocate their pipeline upon this propertq. He stated that_ this
work could be retarded by any one property owner if he were to refuse to
sell an easement to the American Oi1 Company for this purpose. The second
choice is for the American Oil Company to locate the pipeline upon the
public street easement. He stated that the Oil Company proposed to locate
this pipeline 17 feet from the center line of the street easement and he
stated that he believes the construction oi the pipeline at this locatian
is possible without too much of a problem.
Mayor Nee asked whether the American Oi1 Company will repave the streets to
the standards of the City for street construction Mr. ?,'omstock answered,
"Yes". Mayor Nee asked whether the American Oi1 Company wi11 furnish
additional paving where the street is in poor shape over and above the

and stated that the City would draw an agreement with the American Oil
Company for location of the pipeline upon the easement owned by the City.
� Mayor Nee asked whether the pipeline is taxable. The City Manager stated that
an agreement with the American Oil Company could include a consideratlon for
granting the American Oi1 Company the right to locate the pipeline upon the
public easement, Mayor Nee stated that the American Oil Company is making
this proposal to expedite construction of Pro�ect SS ik12 and perhaps they
would not be inclined to grant a consideration for that reason The City
Attorney suggested that the City ask the American Oil Company to submit a
pra�*osal for the agreement to locate the pipeline upon the public easement,

STREET IMPROVEMENT - DEAD END STREET OFF MONROE - LUTHER:
Mrs. James Luther was present at the Council Meeting. She stated that she
would like to request the City to pave the dead end street off Monroe Street
adjacent to her property at 5870 Monroe Street, She stated that the neighbor
across the street on the other corner lot would also like to see this small
portion of the dead end street improved, She stated that she and her neighbor
would like to have the cost ot the improvement assessed.
The City Engineer showed a map of the area to the Council and explained the
request of Mrs. Luther to the Council. The City Finance Director explained
to the Gouncil the alternatives of assessing construction of the street
improvement. He suggested that it would be better to spread the cost of
the assessments for street improvement in the usual manner among the proerty owners
one-half block on each side of the street intersection. Mayor Nee asked whether a
construction of P& H mix would be satisfactory to the home owners rather than
regular bituminous paving and concrete curbing He asked Mrs. Luther how much
traffic is on this dead end street. Mr. Luther replied that only her family
and her neighbor used the dead end street. Mrs. Luther stated further that there
is a problem with water draining into their driveway and when Monroe Street is
improved this year it wi11 be higher than this dead end street and the water
will drain off the dead end street into the garage. Councilman Wright asked the
City Engineer whethex it would be possible to shape the P& H Construction in
order to drain the water from this dead end street properly. The City Engineer
answered, "Yes". Councilman Wright suggested that present construction be
P& H mix shaped to drain the water properly and that the street improvement
which Mrs, Luther proposed be done in the future when assessments could be
spread in the usual manner among additional property owners to reduce the cost
of the improvement to these property owners.
The Council took no action concerning this matter.
CLAIMS;
Councilman Kirkham stated that he had a question concerning Claim ik6229, the
painting of the Moore Lake Beach House. Councilman Kirkham asked whether
painting of the beach house was included with the original construction
specifications for the beach house, The City Manager answered, "No."
Councilman Kirkham asked how that slipped by the City Admin�stration and the
Council. He stated that the Building Board demands that plans include
painting before a Building Permit is granted and the City builds a building
which is unpainted and then spends $911.00 on a separate bid to paint the
Building. Councilman Kirkham asked whether the cost of painting the building
will be supplied by park funds. The City Manager stated that he had �ust
discussed this matter with the Park Director and the Parks and Playgrounds
Sub-Committee should have channeled this request for painting this building
through the City Manager and the City Council. He stated that in the past
the Parks and Playgrounds Sub-Committee made policy concerning parks and
alsa carried out administrative work to =mprove park pro�,erty, He stated that
he found it necessary to inform the Park Director and the members of the Parks
and Playgrounds Sub-Committee that since the City now has a full time Park
Director, who is a City employee, it is necessary for administrative work to be
done through the regular channels of the City Administration
Councilman Wright stated that this is a general problem and it is due to the
transitition of the Citizen Sub-Committee who carried out administrative work
, to fu11-time City employees who will carry out this work. He stated that the
Citizens group has been used to maleing policy and taking actions on its own
and that this is one of several groups which wa11 require reorganization in
`- order to include this work in the City Administration.
Councilman Kirkham asked whether the work was already completed The City
Manager answered that the work was completed and payment must be made for the
work.

RESOLUTION -0�153-1965 - DESIGNATING ELECTION SODGES FOR THE CITY PRIMARY ELECTION
TO BE r�LD ON SEPTEMBER 14, 1965: -
Mayor Nee asked the City C1erk whether Statutes require two shifts of Election
Sudges for the Primary Election. The City Clerk answered that State Statutes
do not any longer require the use of two shifts of Election Judges. Mayor Nee
stated �that he believes the 17 �our work day which a single shift of Election
Judges would have to work is too long and the City should furnish two shifts �
of Election Judges. Councilman Kirkham stated that he believes that if the
1aw permits the use of one shift that the City should only use one shift,
Mayor Nee stated that the use of two shifts would be the same cost since
Judges are paid at an hourly rate.
Mayor Nee stated that the name of James Plemel should be deleted from the list
of proposed Election Judges and the name of Mary Gibbs should be deleted
since the executive board of the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party will not
certify that Mary Gibbs is a Democrat. Councilman Kirldn�m stated that the
name of George Walli��hould be deleted from the propDSed list. James Plemel
was present at the Council Meeting and stated that if the Democratic Yarty
would not be willing to certify Mazy Gibbs as a➢emocrat the Republican
Party would be willing to certify her as a member of the Republican Party,
He stated that he believes Mary Gibbs would like to serve as an Election Judge.
Mayor Nee asked what is the status of people who are not residents of the
City of Fridley at the time of the registration period for the Election
having been forced out of their homes by the storm. The City Manager stated
that he had discussed this question with the City Attorney and the City
Attorney wrote a memo stating that if the residents who have been forced
out of their homes as a result of the storm have the intent of rebuilding
their homes and returning to them, in the opinion of the City Attoxney,
they are eligible to vote in the City of Fridley. Mayor Nee stated that he
wishes to have the Administration place this recon�tendation of the City Attorney �
on the Agenda of the next Council Meeting in order to have a record of it.
Motion by Wright to adopt Resolution �k152-1965, to require two shifts of
Election Judges and to request the City Clerk to use the list of�proposed
names for Election Judges consisting of people who have served as Election
Sudges in the past, to make a final list of E1ectLOn Judges. Seconded by
Thompson, Upon a voice vote, there being no nays,the motion carried unanimously
S�WER HOOKUP - 15I5 NfISSISSIPPI STREET NORTHEAST:
The City Engineer stated that the Contractor wishes to build a special sewer
line draining the sewage from this property into the manhole rather than into
the sewage main since the sewage main is at a lower elevation than this runout
needs to be and it is more expensive for the developer to cut a deeper trench
to connect to the sewage main. The City Manager stated that where the property
owner wishes to make a connection to the sewage system which is different from
the standard connection, it is necessary for the Council to approbe the connection.
The City �ngineer stated that the City wi11 require the home owner to maintain
the sewer line. The City Engineer stated that�_the area where this property is
located has a high water table and that it would be necessary for the contractor
to use a special cased construction in order to have a dry line at the depth
necessary to connect to the sanitary se�oer main. He stated that the construction
which the contractor is requesting would allow him to lay the sewage line at a
higher elevation in dry soil rather than below the level of the water table. He
stated that his does require the contractor to build a longer sanitary sewage �
service 1ine, and produces more problems for the maintenance of this line.
Motion by Wright to authorize the Administration to execute an agreement with
Andrew B. Gawel, Contractor, for the construction of a Special Sanitary Sewer
Serviee Main to serve the property at 1515 Mississippi Streeet Northeast.
