Mayor Pro Tem Harris stated that, in order to conduct the Hearing in tf�e best possible manner, first the people in favor of the rezoning could stand, give their name and address, and state their reasons, then those people against the rezoning could speak. He explained that the Council will not make a determination at the close of the hearing, but any action to 6e taken will be done at the next regular Council Meeting of February 20, 1967. He suggested they start the hearing by hearing from the representatives of Target Stores. Mr. Jerry Herringer said that he and his father were petitioners for the rezonrng with the St. Anthony Village Shopping Center, Inc. He said that Mr. Max Saliterman was represented this evening by Mr, James Hoben and Mr. James Dorsey of James P. Hoben and Associates, Real Estate. He introduced � SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 13, 1967 Mr. Douglas Dayton, President of the Target Stores, to give the pertinent information on the rezoning request. Mr. Dayton explained ihat the store they were proposing contained 146,000 square feet and basically will be identical with the Target Store In Bloomington. He said that the store � will be pushed back to the west boundary in order to put the parking in front facing the highway. He said there would be 120,000 square feet of department store area, and about 28,000 square feet of grocery store area operated 6y Applebaums. He said that the parking lot prov�des for approxi- mately 1,400 cars which they feel will be more than adequate. Mr, Dayton said that they are anxious to come into Fridley because of its growth, and because of the kind of customer that exists here, and that they hope to be a good addrtion to the City itself. Mayor Pro Tem Harris asked if anyone else in the audience wished to speak in behalf of the rezoning. There was no answer. He asked if any member of the Council wished to speak. Councilman Sherida� stated that the petition included in the agenda had been given to him personally a week ago, and he had advised the people it would be presented to the Council on their behalf. He suggested that the Council receive the Petition as it is pertinenC to the subject of rezoning. PETITION �#2-1967 DPPOSING REZONING REQUEST (ZOA fr67-02): MOTION 6y Gouncilman Sheridan to receive and file Petition '„/2-1967 Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice voYe, there being no nays, Mayor Pro Tem Harris declared the motion carried. � Mayor Pro Tem Harris asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in opposition to the rezoning. Mr. Alexander Novitsky, 5421 Madison Street Northeast, said he owned property bordering the rezoning. He said he was opposed to the rezoning 6ecause when he moved to Fridley, he knew the +�,�c�periy behind him was zoned single family dwelling, and he feels Lhis will be infringing on his right as a property owner, to take away the buffer zone he thought would be there. Mr. Joe Mihalow, 5411 Madison Street Northeast, said he had come to Fridley because he like Fridley, but if the store goes in he will not be able to stay as they have a family of four children, and he does not feel lev�ng next to a store like that would be good for them. Mrs. Novitsky, 5421 Madison Street Northeast, said that their ma�n concern was that they are afraid of the eventual opening of Cheri Lane and traffic corping through the neighborhood, because the ch�ldren play in the streets as there are no sidewalks. She said that they were told at the first public hearing that if Target needed an exit in the future, although there would not be one now, another public hearrng would not have to be held to change this situation as the voice of the Council would be enough. Councilman Harris asked, if protection were offered to them, that this would not be opened, by a cul-de-sac or some similar solution, would the rezon�ng be satisfactory � to them7 Mrs. Novitsky said that th�s had been their main concern. Councilman Harris read a letter handed to L-he Council f-rom Mr. Dayton that indicated that ihey would dedicate an area on the northwest that would be used as park land, and that Target would waive any access to or from Cheri Lane. Mrs. Novitsky asked if this could be changed at any date in the future even though it were in writing. The City Attorney said that the City could enter into a contract with the Target Stores that would make the granting of the rezon�ng contingent on an agreement that they would surrender right Lo SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 13, 1967 access on Cheri Lane. He said an agreement could be signed between the City and the Company which would be the consideration behind the Council agreeing to the rezoning, and this could be done in such a way as to be binding. Mr. John Tokar, 577 - 54th Avenue Northeast, said that he was opposed to � the rezo�ing, on the basis that he thought it would devaluate his property, and a road qoing through to Cheri Lane would be a safety hazard. He said he would like to find out more about how commercial zoning would effect the selling of his home. Councilman Harris asked if it would alleviate part of his pro6lem if Cheri Lane would not be an access street to Target. Mr. Tokar said that it would. Mr Novitsky said that he had talked to professional people at Twin City Federal, Midwest Federal, and FHA about the effect on resale of the property. He said that it can affect property within 300 feet of commercial property. It could possibly eliminate any FHA financing in the future depending upon the traffic, the lights, and the general idea of living 6y commercial property. He said he felt they were entitled to the buffer zone they had when they moved in, and they do not want to have to worry about getting financing, and he felt the type of people who would buy his home would be the type that would have to get FHA f-inancing. Councilman Harris said he had checked into this, and had been advised that the property on the north side of Holly Shopping Center has been sold under both GI and FHA f-inanu ng and this is property abutting commercial. Mr. Novitsky said he �ust wanted to stress the rule that FHA goes by and could be enforced. Mayor Pro Tem Harris called on the City Attorney to explain about the � parking if the rezoning were de�ied. The City Attorney said that the City Ordinance has a provision that parking may be permitted in R-1, R-2, and R-3 zones when it is within 500 feet of the area to 6e served, by obtaining a Special Use Permit, so the code would permit parking without rezoning wiih the Special Permit. Mr. William Miller, 5�+12 Madison Street Northeast, said that if it will allow parking in R-1 why is the land to be rezoning. Councilman Harris said he believed part of the building was on the rezoning. Mr. Miller said ihat if it only amounts to 50 feet, why don't they �ust move the building up. Mr. Dayton stated that he was sure it was better to have the building on the west side of the parking lot. If the building were on the easterly side, there would be more lights and more activity next to the houses. He said that the back brick wall, which is not used except for grocery receiving, will be much more quiet. Mr. Herr�gas, 5402 Madison Street Northeast, said that he was also opposed to the rezoning because of the service road onto Cheri Lane and the possible effect to the resale value of his home. He said he did not think Mr. �ayton would want one of his stores put up in Wayzata where he lived. Mr. Novitsky asked who would pay for the park if there is to be another one in ihe area, the cost of liability insurance, and the maintenance. He asked if this would be a gift or would 6e assessed to the people in the area. � Councilman Sheridan explained that the City of Fridley does not assess an individual area for parks, the cost of development comes out of the Park Budget which in turn comes out of the general tax assessment. He explained that the lia6ility insurance would be part of the overall blanket insurance carried by the City. Mr. Novitsky asked if the park would be fenced and who would pay for it. Councilman Sheridan said the City would pay for the fencing, and that parks are fenced for the protection of the property owner against ingress and egress. Mr. Novitsky asked about the park on 54th Avenue and 7th Street. It was pornted out that this was an undeveloped park, The Park Budget was checked and it was found that the park on 54th Avenue and 7th Street es budgeted for developing in 1y67. Mrs. Novitsky asked if the SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING, PEBRUARY 13, 1967 park being dedicated would be fenced, both for Lhe residents, and to keep the children away from the store. Councilman Harris said that some stores have been required to provide fencrng such as the Red Dwl and Holly Center. He sald he was sure that this would be agreeable to the Dayton representatives. � Councilman Harris said that the Council was interested in proYecting the rights of the people, and also keeping in mind that this should be an equitable situation for all people with the possibility of increasing the tax base. He said that this has to be a two-way street. Mrs, Betty Swanson, 5431 Madison Street Northeast, asked that Lot 9 be pointed out for her on the map. She said that this lot runs along their lot line and was wondering if it would be possible that this could be opened onto Cheri Lane at some time. Councilman Sheridan pointed out the lot and said that it would be in the dedication. Councilman Harris asked if anyone else wished Co be heard. There was no answer. Mayor Pro Tem Harris closed the Public Hearing on Rezoning Request ZOA ��67-02 aY 8:37 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING ON SANITARY SEWER WATER AND STORM SEWER PROJEGT #84: The City Manager read the Notice of Hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Harris asked if anyone w�shed to speak for Construction Item A. There was no answer. Councilman Harris asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to Con- struction Item A. There was no answer. He asked iF anyone wished to speak � on Construction Item B. Mrs. Hentges, 1533 Onondaga Street, reviewed the assessinents she has paid since 1962 for sYOrm sewer and questioned why she must pay again. Mr. Duane Dlsen, from the consulting firm of Comstock & Davis, explained that the original assessment in 1962 had 6een for the trunk service and this had been assessed in that area. Now the intent is to install the laterals, catch basins, and leads so the street can be improved. The City Finance �irector looked up the assessments of Mrs. Hent9es, Mrs. Earl Follmuth, 1641 - 74th Avenue, and Mr. Clarence Gunn, 1475 - 73rd Avenue who gave the amounts they had already paid in assessments. The Finance Director explained what the different assessments in the area had been for. it was pointed out to Mr. Gunn that a portion of his property which fronts on 73rd Avenue, will not be served by this lateral system, but if in the future a larger area was serviced, and he was included, he would be assessed. Mr. Dlsen of Comstock & Davis, said that the entire area had been assessed at an equal rate for the original'improvement Rroject �24, but the laterals will only serve the areas shaded in red on the fiap. Mrs. Hentges said they live on Onondaga Street, which is one big field. �She asked if they will be assessed again or would this take care of it forever. Mr. Olsen said that this would complete the storm sewer assessments to serve her. Councilman Harris explained that the hearing was being held, because a street has 6een petitioned for, but this cannot be put in until the storm sewer is completed. � Mr. Fowler, 7425 Bacon Drive, asked if Yhis storm sewer assessment was for the laterals only, and how many laterals.' Mr. Olsen, said that this was the only time the Council has tried to differentiate between a trunk and a smaller line, and the line size had been terminated at 24". Councilman Harris asked Mrs. Hentges 'if she was against the pro�ect. She said no she �ust wanted Co know why she had to pay again. Mrs. Follmuth said she was not against the pro�ect, and Mr. Fowler said that the storm sewer had to come before they could get the street paving, and wanted to know the cost. Mr. Olsen said that the gross acreage including the street would be approximately $1.77 per hundred square feet, and the assessed SPECIAL COUNCIL ME�TING, FEBRUARY 13, 1967 proposed projeci, deleting the street would be $2.01 per hundred square feet, and pointed out that the park and schools would 6e assessed at the same rate. Mr. Olsen said he felt this was a conservative estimate, as bids they had taken two weeks ago on a larger pro�ect came in 3�% under the estimates. He said this was a good time for bids. He said there was some chance that Moundsview and the County would take care of some of the cost which would reduce the assessment. (COUNCILMAN HARRIS LEFT THE MEETING,AT 9:)) AND TURNED THE GAVEL OVER TO COUNCILMAN SHERIDAN) Councilman Liebl explained that more than 50% of the people on Onondaga Street had petitioned for a blacktop street, and rt is the policy of the Council that they do not improve a street unless the sanitary and storm sewer are in. He said they call the hearing to find out if the people are fihancially able to afford this improvement. He said that it was up to the people if they can afford it, the Council will go ahead, and if they cannot afford it, the Council cannot improve the street to the standards set by the Council. Mrs. Stringer, 1470 Onondaga Street, said that the storm sewer has already gone by her house and she has already paid $3,000, now she will have to pay this and then the street. Councilman Lie61 asked how many people favor Pro�ect r{84. There were about four hands raised. Mrs. Hentges said that she wanted to have it fixed, and ,was willing to pay her share, but wanted to know why after paying once, she must pay again. Councilman Samuelson said that this is the final connection to get the �mater Lo Rice Creek. There was a question on standing water and Mr. Olsen said that the catch basins will pick up the ponds in the low spots. A lady said her home was on high ground, and asked if she must still pay for storm sewer, and was told yes. A man asked why part of the area was omitted on the map, and was told that the pro�ect is laid out 6y the contours of the land. In answer to Mrs. Hentges on her assessments, the Finance Director pointed out that she had paid for the main for the sanitary sewer and the laterals for the sanitary sewer, and the main for the storm sewer, and this hearing was for the laterals of the storm sewer. Mrs. Hentges said tnat she understood it, was satisfied, and would pay it. Councilman Samuelson introduced three letters the Council had received on behalf of this Public Hearing. A letter of ob�ection to the pro�ect from Thoinas A. Flanery. A letter ob�ecting to the assessment from Samuel C. Dal6erg, Dalberg Builders, Inc., and a letter from Independent Schooi Disirict No. 16, presenting a standing disapproval until they have had time to study it. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to receive the letters from Mr. Flanery, Mr. Daiberg, and School District �16 and make them part of the findings. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Acting Chairman Sheridan declared the motion carried. No one else wished to be heard on SS & SW �84. Acting Chairman Sheridan closed the Public Hearing on SS & SW �84 at 9:12 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING ON STREET PROJECT 1967-2: The City Manager read the Notice of Hearing. Acting Chairman Sheridan asked if anyone in the audience wished to be heard, either for or against this pro�ect Mr. David Lazarz, 7339 Able Street Northeast, said that this street will be at the back of his property, and asked if he will be assessed for sewer, gutter and blacktop. The Finance Director said that the property west of Baker is not included in the sanitary sewer or water assessment, and will pay only 1/4 of the cost of a residential street. � � � SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 13, 1967 Another visitor to the Council Meeting asked how far wi11 the City go with the curb, as he has a 24' garage, and an additional 24' driveway beside zt which is asphalt. The City Engineer said that they will depress the curb for any length that he desires � There was no one else present at the Council Meeting who wished to Ue heard on this pro�ect. Acting Chairman Sherzdan closed the Public Hearing on ST. 1967-2 at 9:18 F,M ACTION TO BE TAKEN AT NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 20, 1967: Acting Chairman Sheridan explained to the members of the audience that these first three Public Hearings will be on the agenda of February 20, 1967, and any action taken by the Council will be done at that Cime. REQUEST FOR PERMIS5ION TO ERECT BILLBOARD - JAYCEES: Two representatives o£ the Jaycees were present at the Council Meeting and showed the Council a picture of the proposed U9�_lbozrd. Councilman Sheridan sai.d he noticed that the application mentioned installing it on the south- west corner of City Hall propex'ty, and wondered if this was a mistake, and was meant to be the northwest corner. The representative sa7d it was the southwest corner. Councilman Sheridan asked if they would reconsider and place it in the northwest corner, and they said no. The Council discussed the size, placement, and the height above the ground with Che representatives. Councilman Sheridan ask�d the Jaycees why they ob�ected to the old location. The representative said Chat one ob�ection was that there were so manp signs � in that location already, and they thought this would be better out in the open. Iie explained that it will be a sign similar to the Fridley Bank sign with interior lighting. Councilman Lieb1 said he assumed the size was according to City Code, and the Jaycee said yes. (COUNCILMAN HARRIS RETIIRNED TO THC MEETING AT 9•20 P M. hND i�SUME�3 HIS PLACE AS MAYOR PRO TEM) Councilman Lie61 asked if it was the intention of the Council to take any action on the billboard at this time. He said he had no ob�ection to it. Councilman Sheridan said he did not have any ob�ection to the sign itself, but he was not too pleased with the proposed location as this corner is the focal point of the new building. He said he thought the C�uncil would be extxemely critized by the citizens and rhe businessmen if the sign is allowed at this particular corner. Councilman Harris asked Councilman Sheridan if he ob�ected to the old locations. Councilman Shexidan said that he had no ob�ection to that, Councilman Samuelson mentioned that the City owns 30 feet of unused service road in front of the Red Ow1 Store, north ot Mississippi Street. He wondered if there was an easement there as a possible location for the sign. The Council studied a map of this area. Councilman Harris said that the Council could contact the State Highway Department as the Red Owl quadrant of University and Mississippi might be a better location for the sign. Councilman Lieb1 said he thought it was a uery attractive sign, and he felt that the spot chosen by the � Jaycees was the best spot, as rt can easily be seen and wi11 best serve the purpose it is intended for. MOTION by Couacilman Samuelson to table the application for a sign permit by the Jaycees until the next regular Council Meeting of February 20, 1967. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, Councilsaan LLeb1 voting nay, Mayor Pro Tem Harris declared the motion carried. Councilman Sheridan asked the representatives of the Jaycees if L'hey wished the Council Co pursue the alternate site. The representative said they would not like to haae the sign across the street, and in that SPECIAL COTJNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 13, 1967 location it would be in competition with the Holly sign the sign is too large for the southwest corner, perhaps down some. Councilman Harris said that by tabling it, everyone a chance to look at the situation closer. CONSIDERATION OF SEL7ER REPAIRS - CHERI LANE• . He said that if they could cut it this wi11 give The City Engineer expZained the problems that the City has been having with the sanitary sewer on Cheri Lane. He said that it had been installed in 1961, and since then the contractor repaired it once, and the City crew repaired it once in 1962, in 1963 the City called in Soil Solidifiers to solidify the line; in 1965 a lot of money was spent to solidify new leaks; in 1966 there was a problem and the sewer was televised and sxx more leaks were Eound. He said that on January 11, 1967, he, Ice Comstock of Comstock and Davis, Inc., Darrel Clark, Les Chesney, and the sewer leadman met to try to figure out the next course of action. He said that it seems the sewer had been laid in bad soil, and it had cracked when the line was installed., He said they called in two solidifying companies and both felt that so much work had been done already without solving the problem. The next choice was to relay the line in cast iron, for which bids were called. There was only one bidder, Randall & Berglin, in the amount of $19,500, which is quite expensive. Mr. Qureshi said that there was the possibility that the Target Store, if they build, wi11 petition the City to install storm sewer and a11 the other utilities. He said we could install the lift station to serve Target properly and relay this line at a shallow depth. He said that this property has never been assessed for sewer laterals, so they would be paying some assessments which would be part of this improvement. He said the Engineering Department felt that the sanitary sewer problem should be solved before they proceed with any further action. Councilman Sheridan asked what Alternate 1 was, Mr, Qureshi said that it was street replacement. Councilman Harris said he had discussed this with a contractox who had been a frequent bidder in Fridley, and he had received the indication that this �ob could be done on a time and material basis, and the contractor Liad indicated that 300+ feet could be done for approximately $10,000. The City Engineer said that the City had investigated costs, before actually calling for bzds, and they had been around $9,500., but this would not include doing anything to the line beyond the trouble area. Councilman Harris said that it was his position that the bid amount was too large an amount to expend without exploring some other solution to the problem. Mr Olsen, of Comstock & Davids, said that if Target petitions the City for services, it wi11 be impossible to service them by gravity, and the solution may be relaying this at a shallower level above the water table, including a Lift station deep enough to provide service to Target. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson that sinee the bids came in over the estimate, and there was only one bid, the Council re�ect the bid on Sanitary Sewer Improvement Pro�ect No, 86, and proceed tc� undertake an engineering review of the area for service and repair. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Councilmaa Liebl asked if this wi11 be an assessable item or if it wi11 come out of the general utility fund. Councilman Harris said he did not believe a11 of it would be assessable, and most would probably come from the general utility fund. The City Engineer said that the lift station and part of the cost could be assessed to the Target Store if they build, but the remainder of the line would have to come from the utility funds. UPON A VOICE VOTE, there being no nays, Mayor Pro Tem Harris declared the motion carried. ' ' L_� SPECIAL CDUNCIL MEETING, FEBRIIARY 13, 1967 SNOW PLOWING OF ALLEYS: Councilman Liebl said that there were five citizens of the Third Ward present at the Council Meeting who would like to be heard on behalf of � a letter submitted to the City Manager at the last Regular Council Meeting `` regarding snow plowing the alley at 47th and 48th Avenue between 2nd Street and Main Street. Councilman Harris said that the Council had directed the City Manager to correspond wrth the people on the policy of the Council. He said that this was not an agenda item, and without a waiver from tize Council, they could not act on a particular problem, but they wi11 hear the people. Mr. Burt Bazevage said that it would only take a couple of swipes for the City Co plow the alleys. He said the people cannot park in fronC of their homes because they are afraid their cars will be t�yaed away to clear the streee. Mr. Bazevage said that the City sends the snowplows for the playgxounds, and it would only take five minutes fos the aLley. Councilmaa Harris said that he agreed they have a problem, but the City does not have the equipment that would not damage the garages close to the a11ey The City Engineer said that our equipment pushes Lhe snow against Lhe curbs, and the weight and pressure of the snow could buckle their garage wa11s. Councilman Liebl said that the people have seen a smaller truck the City owns that they use for the skating rinks, and the caidth would be �ust right to use for the alleys. The City Manager pointed out that the City has about sixteen rinks to maintain. A visitor asked if this has to be done every day. The City Manager said that each one does not get maintained every day, but to keep them all maintained they have to be constantly cleaning them. � Councllman Harris asked how much distance tliere was in the alley between Che garages. A visitor said about 20 feet. Councilma❑ Liebl said he had inspected the a11ey and feels it could be plowed with equipment like that used on the skating rinks, and asked if it would be proper to use the park equipment The Citp Manager said that it could be used, but the rinks would come first. Councilman Harris asked if thexe were a number oi alleys. A vLSitor said that there was only one alley that went through, and it was called a public alley, and the City had given permits for garages to be built. The City Attorney asked if the property owners would be willing to sign some waiver as far as trespassing on property goes, because of snow deposited, or because the Cruck may haoe to drZVe o❑ area that is not within the 12 foot a11ey width. Councilman Harris said that this would cover the City's liability, Councilman Harris said that the Council understands the problem they have there and asked to have this on the agenda at the next Regular Council Meeting of February 20, 1967, for discussion by the full council. Councilman Liebl said that he realized that this problem was on the last agenda, but the people had called him and wanted to talk to the Council themselves. He said he did not feel an rtem always has to be on the agenda. If it is a necessity, he thought it could be discussed without agreement that it be on the agenda. MOTION by Counc�lman Liebl that the alley wi11 be plowed for these people, or something done about it, as it is a public alley and the Council has an obligation, that is why the people pay L-axes. He said he was not satisfied with the decision at the Last Council Meeting as it did not � solve the problem. He said that the Council is there to soLve problems and not to do nothing about them. Councilman Sheridan suggested that it be tabled until the next Council meeting, Councilman Liebl agreed,but he said he would like to see the problem solved at the next Council Meeting with a reasonable solution. �*-�*CORRECTION TO MINUTES MADE AS PER COUNCIL MCETING MINUTES OP FEBRUAILY 20, 1967.
