Subject: Feasibility of Returning 1�Zunicipal
Liquor to Private Enterprise
Dear Priayor Kirkham:
In acco-rdance with your request, Ere are pleased to present
this proposal i�o mai�e an independent study of the feasibility of
returning mur.icipal liquor sales to private enterpr.ise in the City of
Fridley.
The scope of our study will cover the follotiring areas (but
trill not necessarily be lirni•ted i,o these ):
(1) A general review of the over-all opera�in� results of
the municipal stores and bars in Fridley for the past iive years.
�omparison trith similar opera�ions in N:innesota.
(2} An inspection of' the four (�) stores and tvfo (2} bars
to determine the �eneral state of repairs of the.physical properties.
(6�Jhere Major repairs or remodelling are indica�ed, you will obtain the
estimates of eost oz' such repairs, etc.).
(3� Lstimate the econom�ic impact on Fridle3T`municipal opera-
tions if neighboring communitie� a�andon municipal liquor and "go
private" ahead of us. (For exarlple, the effect on the Community of
t�ichfield by this type o� change occurring in nearby Blooming'con may
be a case in point).
_ (�) An estimate of the overall econor:ic benefits or detriment
that wi11 accrue to Fridl�y should the chanpe to priva�e enterprise for
handl�ng;on and o��f-sale liquor shal_l. be made. (For example i� it
lzkely tha� firs�-class restaurants and motor na�els t�rill be attracted
to sites in Fridley?)
(5) ti��e will revieti�r the economic brov�rth and developmant of
the City of Fridley to determine t�rhether it vrould be attractive to
nerrr motor hotels and restaurants.
(6) Should the change-over appear feasible, the possii�ilzty
of issuin� liquor license at a given date but Making them effective
at a future date. The purpose ti�rould be to reduce to a minimum the lag
between �he closing of one operatio:� and openin� anoti�er.

(7) a limit�d inspection of the rridley area and its
locaLion to make a general determination of the possibility of
locatin� there one or more first-ciass resiau�^ants or motor hotels
with restaurants. (This does not include a site study and mar;�et
study in depth as such but principally an area review to establish
whethe-r the City of Fridley lies in a strateg�c location that t�rould
attract transients and/or ti�rould support this type of facility).
(8). Assur�ing real estate market values of the municipal
structures, their sites and inventories are available, estimates
can be made of the return on the total investment it iic were put
into bonds or otner type of investment at interest.
m
(9) Assuming the possibility that some cvsts or expenses
directly related to the municipal liquor operat�ons are presently
charged to gene-ral overhead or city operations -- the savin�s to the
taxpayer by a changeover (and the elir�inati.on of these costs) would
be determined or estimated, if possible, vlithout making a detailed
audit.
It is understood th3t you ti�rill furnish. us with all available
information and data with re�spect to the present municipal ?iquor
operations and set up, as well as assist us in obtaining r�lated
information and related city data for the project as a whole.
There can be no guarantee that our findings will be favor-
able te a chanbe-over; in fac;t, it is al:�rays possible they may indicate
a continuation of the present system.
Our fee for these services shall be no� less than y�2,000 nor
more than $2,500.. The basic rate for a Partner is $200 per day or
$25 per hour. A retainer fee of 60;� or �1,200 is customary and the
balancz i�rould be due promptly upon delivery of our report. Out-of-
pocket expenses and report prepara�ion cost would be additional bu�
probabl T ti•rill not exceed �150. Copies of tne report (? n e��cess of
ten (10� �•�Tould also be additional bu� ��rauld be char�,ed at cost. �
trle estimate that the invesi,i;ation and report will require
six to eight weeks of time from August l, 1967.
As our authority to schedule and perform these services, kind-
ly sign the enclosed confirmation copy of tnis letter and rei;urn it
to us for the corripletion of our files. The original will serve as

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Fridley, Minnesota
RE: Incinerators, Flue-Fed.
Gentlemen:
Bus. Phone 560-3450
Due to the request of Maurice Filister to install F1ue-Fed. i.ncinerators in his
proposed apartment complex, I have contacted some of the communities around the
Twin Cities to obtain opinions as to the experience each community has had with
this type of equipment. For the most part all of the communities contacted have
the same general opinion; that being, they are not too satisfactory. Some of the
comments and positions of various communities are listed:
City of Bloomington - Herb Meyers Flue Feeding is not allowed. Incinerators
must be enclosed in a seperate room.
City of Richfield - Ken Swift Flue Feeding is allowed but the feeling of Mr.
Swift is that it is unsatisfactory. Richfield has a rather comprehensive incin-
erator or�inance that closely follaws the Incincerator Association recommended
standards.
City of Anoka - Don Weust Flue Fed are allowed. Incinerators and smoke are �
�. controlled by their zoning ardinances.
City of Minneapolis - Chief Ken Welch Seperate rooms are required for incinera-
tor and feed daor. Flue Fed incinerators are the source of much trouble.
City of Crystal - Art Quady, Fire Marshal Present ordinance required incinera-
tors but they are trying to get it removed and.require daily pick-up".
Deputy State Fire Marshal Bryan Daugherty requires that the incinerators are en-
closed in a room and that each have a feeding door enclosed.
Generally speaking, F1ue Fed incinerators are unsatisfactory.
� The above are not direct quotes but they summarize the feeling of the individuals
that I have discussed this problem with.
_ YOti Can Help - S�'OP Fires - SAVE Lives

The Uniform Building Code which would apply to this construction allows the
installation of Flue-Fed incinerators. They must have minimum clearances as
follows: 36" above, 48" in front �nd 36" in rear and sides. (UBC Chapter 5106)
My recommendation in light of the provision of the building code would be as
follows:
The incinerators be installed in a seperate room of at least two hours fire
resistance. Each feed door be enclased in a seperate room of at least one hour
fire resistance rating. Additional each room enclosing a feeding door be pro-
vided with adequate ventilation to prevent the build up of smoke and other pro-
ducts of combustion from entering the exits and corridors. Chapter 38.021 of
the Code of Ordinances requires that multiple chambered gas fired incinerators _
be used for the furning of organic refuse.
•_ Additionally, proposed regulations of the State Fire tdarshals office will re-
quire all apartment buildings be equiped with automatic fire alarm systems as
well as manual operate system. One or two of the Western suburbs have already
adopted ordinances to this effect and the City of Anoka does not permit the
use of ordinary construction of multiple dwellings over eight units. In other� �
only non load bearing interior partitions may be of combustible material.
Respectfully submitted,

Est�b I i shment of a I umber yard i n Commerce P:,rk
At the request of the Council, I h�ve exzmined the zoning ordinanee
for the purpose of <-�dvi sing the Counci I as to whether . reta i 1 tumber
yard would be consistent with the zoning requirements in Commerce Pzrk.
As the Council knows, Commerce Park is divided into three sepzrzte
zoning districts.
1. C IS "Loc� I Shopp ing Are�-�s.
2. CR2 "Office, Service �nd Limited E3usiness°.
3. �A2 "Fle�vy I ndustr i a l".
In ex�mining the Fridfey Zoning Ordin�nce, l find tha� lumber yards
�re � permitted use under P-11 "i.ight Industri� I" and Mi2 "He�zvy (ndustri�l".
►Jhether these uses c�n �Iso be permitted in other districts requires
a consider�tion of other specified uses that may be an:�logous to ,
retail lumber yard.
The que st i on of procedure i n ma k.i ng such �� dete rm i n::�t i on wou l d be
for the �ppl ic.�nt to request . permit from the Zoning Administr,tor.
The Zon i ng Adm i n i str�tor or the �,pp I i ct nt cou I d then request �n

�pplic�tion for � building permit.
The present �pplic�nt desires to foc.�ted � ret�i[ lumber yard, which
would include 6oth s�{es .�nd stor�ge. The propos�l is to loc�te
between tlie west service road on University Avenue and Commence Lane;
spec i f i c� I l y, i n Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 25 ,nd 26. Lots 5, 6, �nd 26 are
zoned CIS; Lots 7, 8, �nd 2$ are zoned CR2. If the Council determines

that the proposed use is permitted under either or both of these

one zone or permit w�ivers so t��,t the entire tr.-�ct is developed under

The C-IS cl�ssific:tion excludes uses wf�ich are excluded from the C-2
