PAGE 3
Councilman Liebl asked about Item I. on Page 48 dealing with
campaign signs, and asked why this was done. The City Attorney
said that the reason was so that the City would have the assurance
that these signs would be taken dawn. The City Engineer said that
the Planriing Commission had had lengthy discussions on this sub-
ject, and the Planning Com¢nission felt that these signs should
come dvwn after an election. This would give the City the assurance
that if a candidate puts up signs, he would have to take them daan
again. Councilman Sheridan commented that he felt that the
$25.00 deposit for putting up campaign signs was rather high.

'
�
Councilman Harris said that he had received this letter, dated
December 16, 1968 regarding the upgrading of 73rd Avenue to both
the east and the west.
Mr. Larry Griffith, of Dorsey, Marquart, et al, said that they were
very happy with the upgrading af 73rd Avenue in front of the Onan
Plant and naw would like to see the rest of 73rd Avenue from East
River Road to T.H. #10 upgraded. He said that he was also hope-
ful of a semaphore at 73rd Avenue and T.H. #65. He said that he
understood that this was de�.._:ndent on the traffic counts and pre-
viously they had estimated about 750 cars from Onan, but now it
would seeiu more 1 ike 90p ctars .
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETTNG OF JANUARY 6, 1969 PAGE 4
Councilman Harris said that work has been in progress, and that he,
the City Engineer and the City Manager had met with Anoka County,
but the c9ifficulties have not been resolved as yet. He said that
the possibility of extending all the way to East River Road was
denied by the Public Service Commission. He said that he had
asked that the Administration draw up these two res�lutions and
that the City would continue to work on 73rd Avenue hetween Central
and T. H. #65 with Anoka County.
Mr. Griffith asked if the Council adopted these resolution$, what
would be the likelihood of getting the �asterly extension.
Councilman Harris said that it w�uld seem to him that the proper
procedure would be for him to send a letter asking that he be
given a chance to appear on their Agenda.
Councilman Sheridan said that the City of Fridley has always had
a good relationship with Mounds View, and he felt that the letter
should go to Mounds View, rather than to t he Ramsey Caunty Com-
missioners. He said that he felt that by Mounds View approaching
the Ramsey County Commissioners, it would carry more weight. He
also suggested reworking the resolution, so as to emphasize the
benefits of a thoroughfare from T. H. #47 to T. H. #10.
Councilman Harris agreed w ith Councilman Sheridan's thinking that
the resolution to Ramsey County should bz re�worked. The City
Engineer said that the City has already requested that Anoka County
take over the stretch between Central Avenue and T.H. #65 as a
County road. It is hoped that this will be done in 1969. He
said that the request �or the semaphore has already been made to
the Minnesota Highway Department, but there will have to be traffic
counts made at that intersection before any decision will be made.
He pointed out that the City also makes it's �wn traffic counts,
and if the counts are up, it will help with the request.

CQNSZDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE REGUI.ATING THE EXCAVATING OF STREETS,
AVENUES OR ALLEYS; RE4UIRING A P�2MIT THEREFOR AND PAYMENT OF A
FEE; AND PRESCRIBING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF ITS PROVISIONS:
Councilman Harris asked if this had been reviewed by the Adminis-
ration and legal staff. Z'he City Attorney said that he had looked
it over, and is not sure whom it is aimed at, as all the utility
companies and plumbers are excluded. If anyone were to want to
do any excavating, they would have to post a$100,000 bond and pro-
vide insurance of $100,000 for one person and $300,000 for any one
accident and property damage. He said that it would seem that it
must be aimed at private property awners doing their own excavating.
The City Engineer said that this is no problem. He said that the
Minneapolis Gas Company has been wanting to get this passed as
t2zey do not want anyone to dig up the streets. Councilman Harris
pointed out that if a$100,000 performance bond is required, it would
be cheaper to pay the fine. The City Attorney said that he did not
understand who is causing the problem. He said that he did not
know if u�nauthorized people were digging in the streets naw. He
wondered haw this would affect the home contractors. Councilman
Samuelson said that this would place a burden on the sewer and
water contractors. He said that tYiere is seldom a reason to break
up a street. �he City Attorney pointed out that plumbers are
exempted. Councilman Samuelson said that he felt that the utility
companies should not be exempted, as they are the ones that do the
excavating.
Mr. Charles Cawan of the Minneapolis Gas Company, said that he is
acting as laison man between the various municipalities and the
Gas Company. He said that this Ordinance was drawn up by Engin-
eers for the League of Municipalities, 3nd it took about l� years
to formulate the finished Ordinance. He said that a great number
of municipalities have already adopted this Ordinance. He ex-
plained that by having a uniform excavating Ordinance it would be
similar to•the Uniform Building Code used everywhere. He pointed
out that all the work must be done to the satisfaction of the
Engineer. He said another advantage would be 24 hour notice be-
fore any interuption in service and also that the compaction is
spelled out in detail. Councilman Samuel�on said that he still
felt that the utility companies should be included and be required
to get a permit. Mr. Cawan said that the Gas Company tries very
hard to make good patches and to auger under driveways, and he is
asking only that everyone else also conform to their standards.
Mayor Kirkham commented that he could see the benefits of havirig
a uniform,excavating Ordinance, but thathe would like to have this
brought back a� a later date to give the Council more time for
thought on this. Mr. Co�wan said that t.his ordinance is for the
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1969 PAGE 10
protection of the general public. The City Attorney questioned
whether the amount of surety bond and insurance had to be that
high. Mr. Cawan said that he had nothing to do with setting the
figures. �he City Attorney said that the figures may be reasonable
if a company does a great deal of excavating from time to time, b�t
for a one occasion, it would be very burdensome.
Councilman Liebl said that there was a case lasy year where a car
fell into a hole, and sued, and asked if this would be covered.
Mr. Cawan said that he was not familiar with the situation, but
would assume so.
Mr. Richard Harris asked if a developer were to go in and develop
4o acres and put in streets and alleys etc. would this mean that
he would have to post a performance bond and provide the required
insurance. Mr. Cawan pointed out that this was not his Ordinance,
but was just presenting it for consideration. Councilman Harris
said that he would assume the contractor would be required to have
the bond and insurance, according to the Ordinance.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to table this Ordinance until February
3, 1969, and in the interim ask the Planning Cormnission to review
it, and make comments. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT DECISION__CONCERNING
gaWARD DUMPHY REQUEST:
Mr. Hvward Dumphy appeared befo�e the Council and said that the
Planning Commission had approved of the additional portion of his
P.D. District, but that the Council had denied it. He said that
he is appearing tonight to shvw how the additional land could be
incorporated into the district, and pointed out that the land pro-
vides for more recreational area. Iie said that he felt that this
was the best use of the land. He said that at the onset, an
apartment house was planned as presented by Mr. Schroeder and was
included in the booklet the Planning Conunission and Council re-
ceived shawing 108 units. He said that it was found at the onset
that the tawn house type development was not feasible.
Councilman Liebl said that under the original proposal the
nomenclature used by Mr. Schroeder was town houses, to which the
people were not apposed. Mr. Dumphy said that the land has laid
dormant for years, and he felt that this was the best use of the
land.
Councilman Sheridan asked Mr. Dumphy if he has tried to get to-
gether with the people in the area. He said that he understood that �

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF

JANUAI�Y 6, 1969
PAGE 11
the people were not mad at Mr. Dumphy, but at the Council, and
that he felt that Mr. Dumphy should have made an attampt to
reach the people to explain his plans. He said that Mr. Dumrphy
has already spent about $10,000 i.n developing his plans, and that
he realized that the corner lots are difficult to utilize.� 1'his
zoning has been approved with thei exception of the two small
portions he wanted to add.
Councilman Liebl asked if the people have seen the plar�s. Mr.
Dumphy said that most of the people were in agreem�ent at the onset
of the proposal. Councilman Sheridan pointed out that that was
when Mr . Schroeder was tallcing abaut tvwn houses . Mr . Dumphy said
that the original plans shawed area plans for multiple residences
under Mr. Schroeder's proposal. Councilman Sheridan said that he
did not recall when the apartment complex nomenclature started
being used instead of town houses. Councilman Sarmuelson poir►ted
out that the people were complaining about traffic problems, and
explained that on the original proposal all of the traffic would
have to go up past the apartments, but with the new proposal only
about 50�6 of it would. Councilman Harris asked if he was atill
planning the shopping center. Mr. Dumphy said yes, that there was
no objection to this. He said that this would include various
small shops such as a beauty shop, grocery store, barber shop,
small office buildings etc. Councilman Harris asked about the
traffic on East River Road and if there was any discussion relative
to looping back into the lots at the north. Mr. Dumphy said that
24' of this street will go foY'a new lane for traffic control.
Councilman Sheridan asked if he was the fee owner. Mr. Dumphy
went to the map and shvwed the areas on the map. He said that a
portion of his building was on a portion of land not yet zoned
for P.D. but could be cut out if necessary. He said that he would
like all the extra lots included into the P.D. District for ease
in description.
Councilman Samuelson said that his request for the additional �
rezoning has already beer deniea, so what was the next step. Council-
man Liebl said that he felt that if Mr. Dumphy wants to get this
completed, he should meet with these people and their lawyer, arrc7
possibly a new Public Hearing may have to be held. Z'he City Attorney
said that Mr. Dumphy had the right to ask the Cour�cil to reconsider.
If still denied he could continue his plans on that portion al- ��
ready zoned P.D. If he chose to drop it, it would revert to the
original zoning, but he would still have the right to develop his 1
land.
Councilman Liebl said that he felt that the crux of the matter was
that the people felt that they wer� let dawn as they were lead to
believe that it was to be tvwn houses, then learned too late that
REGUI,A,R COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1969
PAGE 12
it was an apartment house. Mr. Dumphy said that the original
plans shaw an apartment complex of 108 units, and that this has
not changed a great deal.
The City Attorney said that one pr ocedural aspect would be if
one of the Councilmen who voted against the rezoning were to call
for a revote, this could be considered again. Councilman Sheridan
said that he was one of the Councilmen who voted against it. He
said that Mr. Schroeder made the presentation in Mr. Dumphy's
behalf and he said that it was a shame that the terminology used
was tawn houses rather than apartments. He pointed out that Mr.
Schroeder never gave any indication he was representing Mr.
Dumphy .
Mr.
that
fel
Dumphy shawed the audience the original plan of Mr. Schroeder's
included an apartment house. He said that this new plan he
t was a much better thought out plan.
Mr. Curtis Walberg, 265 Ely Street said that he had never seen tlle
plan, but Mr. Schroeder mentioned tawn houses. He said that no
mention of the number of units was ever made. Mr. Dumphy said that
he did not come to the meetings then, as these plans were shown
at that meeting. If he would have come, he would have had full
knawledge of what was being proposed. Councilman Samuelson asked
Mr. Walberg if he felt that the Council had deceived him. Mr.
Walberg replied no.
Mr. Jerry Potts, 8066 Ruth Street, said that he had voiced an
objection before, and has not had a chan�e of heart. He said that
there were still the landscaping problems, traffic, and the apart-
ment house rather than the tawn houses. He said that he bought his
house from Mr. Schroeder and he felt that Mr. Schroeder was unfair
to him and was not honest with him, as he gave him no indication
that the zoning in th is area was going to change. He said that he
did take the precaution before purchasing his house of checking a
zoning map, but of course he would ha��e no way of knawing what
was being proposed unless Mr. Schroeder told him. Mr. Bourdeaux,
440 Hugo Street said that in his opinion Mr. Schroeder took ad-
vantage of Mr. Potts. Mr. Potts said that this is not a case of
a few people being against this, that there was a rather large
petition against it.
Councilman Samuelson explained that the developer has to come
before the Council again for final approval of plans. Mr. Potts
said that the zoning maps shaw comm�ercial lots, but not those
abutting the creek. The City Engineer agreed that these are R-1
lots. Mr. Potts commented that he would like to keep it that way.

REGUI,AR COUNCIL MEETING OF JAI�TIJAPtY 6, 1969 PAGE 13
Councilman Liebl asked if most o� the lots were not zoned K-1 '
before the P.D. District zoning.��� The City Engineer said yes.
Councilman Liebl said that the C�uncil feels that th� land should
be used to it's highest use also� but he felt that the Council was
deceived also about the 108 unit��iapartment co�lex. Mr. Dumphy
said that the Council was not de�eived and that the orig.inal plans
show 108 units. Councilman Liebll said that the Council must con-
sider the people's wishes and suc�gested that Mr. Dumphy talk with
the people and their attorney to!see if a compromise could not
be worked out.
Mr. Ralph Officer, 315 Hugo Street, said that he had attended most
of the meetings of the Planning Comanission and the wording at that
time was tawn houses. He said that he did not think that the word
"town howse" ever reached the City Council level at that time. He
said that he felt that the people gradually lost interest as they
were not opposed to the tawn houses. He said th�t he had no ax
to grind with Mr. Dumphy. He said that he was not sure whether
he is for or against th�s development, and agreed that he would like
to meet, and go over the plans.
Mr. Robert Venne, 200 Hugo Street, said that Howard Dumphy owned
other land in the area and wondered if ha could use this land as
additional parking area. He said that he felt that there should
be limits as to haw much could be added onto a P.D. District.
The City Attorney said that land zoned R-1 within 500' of a com-
mercial zoning could be used as a parking lot with a special use
permit.
Mr. Dumphy pointed out that the creek provides a natural boundary
between the R-1 District to the north and the P.D. District. He
said that the land he awns east of the P.D. District naw zoned R-1
would be used for residential. The City Attorney asked Mr.
Dumphy if he would be willing to provide a protective covenant to
that effect. Mr. Dumphy replied he would. He added that a lot of
time and money has gone into t��s project so far and he is willing
to donate land for extra width on East River Road and for sidewalks.
Councilman Sheridan said that before this Council is the recon-
� sideration of the vote on the addition to the P.D. District. He
said he had voted against it before, so it is his prerogative to
bring it back, but he did not choose to bring it back for Council
� consideration.
Mayor Kirkham said that he would encourage Haward Dumphy to taeet
' with the residents. He felt that Mr. Dun�hy has acted in good
faith in his efforts. He sai� that he wo�d also have to agree
�
REGUI,AR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1969 PAGE 14
- with Councilman Liebl that the Citizen's rights must be considered.
Councilman iiarris suygested making the Conanunity Room in the City
Hall available for a meeting. The residents in the audience agreed
to this. It was agreed that Mr. Dumphy would send out notices to
all the people within 300' which he could get from the Engineering
Department, and also to those people whol.signecl the pefiition
against the rezoninq, even though they were more than 300' away.

pURCHASE OF SNOiW BLOWERL__AND PLOWING OF ALLEYS:
The City Manager said that the great amount of snow that has
fallen this year has created quite a problem and he felt that a
much better job of snaw removal could be accomplished by the pur-
chase of a snaw blvwer, which could be mounted onto a Case W-7
End Loader. He said that this cauld also be used to blvw the snow
from the sidewalks along the schools where space was adequate.
Another advantage would be thak the snaw could be blown into
vacant areas whenever possib.le, so that it would not pile up so
high along the side of the r.oad and make vision at intersections
very hazardous. He said that this bla�pr could be used at the
intersections to blaw the sna�a into tru4ks and haul the snaw away.
He said that the estimated cost would be about $3500 and he felt
that it would fall w ithin the budget, but if not, at the end of the
year, it cauld come from emergency funds.
Councilman Samuelson agreed and commented that they wanted to make
sure that they did not g�� one that did not have enough pvwer.
Councilman Harris agreed and felt that at the first available
opportunity, that the City should trade in the V plaw. Mayor
ICirkham agreed that the V Plvw should be gotten rid of when pos-
siblE�, and also that he thought that the idea of the snaw blawer
would be a great help. The Counc�l ur.animously agreed that the
purchase of the snaw blvwer would�be a good investment.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1969 PAGE 19
Z'he City Manager then brought up the question of whether the alleys
should be plowed after the street work is done. He said that he
realizecl that the City does not plow alleys unless they are im-
proved, but this does create a hardship on many people. T'he
Council agreed that after all the street work is done, that the
alleys could be opened up. Councilman Samuelson asked tha City
Engineer haw many motor graders the City had. He replied one.

FLiBLTC HEARING ON STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #89•
MayQr �arris Pro tem read the Pub],ic Hearing �iotice to the audience.
�he City Engineer explained that the reason for this project is
that the ar�a at the west end of Norton Avenue and north of the
rai�.road t�acks gets flooded after heavy rains. To alleviate this
prpbl�m, the proposal is to update the size of the culvert running
undea� the railroad tracks. He explained that the total cost of
the p�c� j ect is about $ 30 , 5;. 0.00 , but some of the cost will be borne

�,iJBy�I......0 HF�,,,ARING ON STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #80:
Ma�or Haxris Pro tem read the Public Hearing Notice to the audience,
ar�d asked the City Engineer to explain the project.
T'h� Ci�y E��ineer shawed a map shawing this proposed project in
relation to the storm se�wer projects adjacent to it. He said tha.t
the storm sewer systems in the lawer part of the City have been
upg�aded and the cost has for the most part been equalized at a
cos�k of between $3.00 to $3.22 per 100 square feet. He said that
thi.s is a very large storm sewer area and shawed the b oundaries on
the �creen for the benefit of the audience. He said that the
�ta�rm sewer would run along 7th Street, then 68th Avenue and into
Ricp Creek, with an extension into washington Street to pick up
fih� ir�tersection of 68th Avenue and Washir:gton Street. He said
tha�� �h is would give this area the same type of facility as in
othex' parts of the City and wauld be up to City standards.
Mr, Comstock elaborated that the boundaries were determined by
oth�r storm se�wers in the area. At the south and west end of the
p�rp,�ect, it abutts another storm sewer district i.e. Storm Sewer
Proj�3ct #� which was put in in 1955 or 1956. At the north, Rice
Cre�k £orms the natural boundary. On the east and north side,
the�ce is another storm se�wer system. He explained that in the
R�.ce Creek Plats, the developer put in storm sewers, but they have
b�efi� proven inadequate. In 1962, the Council was petitioned to
s�'�dy thi.s area because of the drainage problems. Studies were
m�de at that time, then in 1966 another Public Hearing was held,
bu�. the �eople did not want the storm sewer. He said that the
�r3,teri�a used is based on a 5 year frequency. This means that if
thelre i� a f�.00d once in 5 years, the storm se�wer is considered
in�dequate. When Mississippi Streeet was put in, an agreement was
eT��exed into with Anoka County whereby they would put in the pipes
under ,Mississippi Street, with the idea that eventually the
s�O�'m sewer in the entire area would have to be upgraded. This
�tqrnc► sewez system proposed ur.�er storm Se�wer #80 has been designed
by �camstoc'k and Davis and revie�wed by the Anoka County Highway

SP�CIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1969
Department and the Minnesota Highway Department Engineers.
PAGE 23
Ma�pr Harris Pro tem read the memoranduiu from the Finance Director
frAm the Freliminary Assessment Roll to explain th� metl�od of
ca7.�ulatiqn of as�sessments, which Qxplained that �h,e people who
have already paid for storm sewer assessments for storm sewers put
in j�y #�,he developer would get a credit.
Z{h� F�,nar►ce Directo� sa�i;d! ��,�t s�orm sewer assessments are generally
spread over 20 years�at'6;6 interest, and would be levied in 1970.
He sxplained that if a lot size was 10,000 square feet, the
assessment would be about $330.00 and that credit would be given
where due.
�'h� City �ngineer said that the City Council has es�ablished a
policy of getting all the storm s,ewers in the City completed, and
equ�lizing payment as was done with the south end of Fridley.
7,'hi� Same thing is being proposed' with Project #80 at a rate of
about $3.30 less credit due. Thi,s would approximately equal the
rate of others paying in other parts of the City.
Mayor Harri�s Pro tem explained that each year the City receives
pet�.tions for improvement of streets. A number of streets petit-
ioned for are in Project #80. Th�ese people have been told that
the City �annot put in permanent streets unless the storm sewers
are put in first as the streets will not last, and they may have
to be torn up later to put the storm sewer down.
MayQr Harz�.s Pro tem then called for comments from the audience.
Mr. M.C. Achterkirch, 612 Rice Creek Terrace, said that he would
1i.1se to see what this project includes. The City Engineer put the
map on the screen for him shawing the boundaries of the district.
�Mayor Harris Pro tem said that some of these streets have been
�:peta.tioned for. The City Engineer then shawed Mr. Achterkirch just
what streets had been petitioned for on the screen. Mr. Ackter-
kirch asked why the entire area is included then. The City
��g,i�e�er said that the mains would have to go through this area to
get to Rice Creek. Mayor Harris Pro tem pointed out that at the
street hearing, this Public Hearing was asked for as these people
want their streets completed. Mr. Achterkirch asked if there was
a petition for the storm sewer. Mayor Harris Pro tem said no,
that the storm sewer woulc� r� ordered in by the Counci�., if they
saw that it was a necessity.
Mr. John L. Markfelder, 613 Rice Creek Terrace, said that most of
tbe peop�.e here tonight were here in 1966 when they did not want it.

�PECIAL PUBLZC I�EARING MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1969 PAGE 25
goes �o RiCe Creek. He said that the existing main would augment
th� new on�, so the two pipes would actually act as one.
Mr. T�ayer said that he did not object to the storm sewer at first,
but he cannot see where his propelrty would be benefitted $550
worth. Mr. Comstock commented that it could be proven in a court
of law the necessity of th is storm sewer system.
A Visitor to the Meeting asked who owns the Riedel property now.
She also asked if these were exac,t boundaries. Mayor Harris Pro tem
answered that these were approximate boundaries drawn for the
preliminary hearing. She said that it seemed to her that the
Riedel property awners would bene,fit most.
Mr. Robert McPherson, S00 Bennett'Drive N.E. said that there are
mar�Y�oles at thQ intersection of Benriett Drive and 7th Street, but
thex do no good as they stick up too high, so there is still
flooding. If they were lawered, the water could run into them.
Mr. A. Miller, 525 Bennett Drive agreed with Mr. McPherson and
�aid �hat he had complained about this many years ago.
Mr. L1oyd Seruiethum, 369 66th Avenue N.E. said that there is a
storm sew�:r at 66th Avenue and University Avenue Service Road that
was put tlzere when University Avenue was revamped. He said that he
could not understand hav they could benefit on 7th.Street, when
the water runs the other way. He said that the water is taken
care of naw since the County did some work.
Mr. G.G. Ingaldson, 6777 7th Street N.E. asked where all the
drainage problems are. Mr. Comstock said that he had done no
work on this since 1966, but at that time there were some families
having �l,00ding problems on Rice Creek Terrace. Mr. Ingaldson said
that i.fi seemed strange that this should be brought up naw, when
no one in the area was aware that they we�ce having probletas. The
City Engineer said that the water is being ponded on private pro-
pexties and this is the reason thQ people are not having more
trouble than they have naw. Mr.'ingaldson said that he understood
St the last Meeting held on this problem, that a drainage area
Cou�.d be created at eonsiderable Less cost but the reason this is
�ot b�ing aon�idered is that the Council does not know how the
Riedel property will be developed,, and that there could be high
tax revenu�s from this property if developed to a higher use.
MaXor Harris Pro tem ac�reed that there were alternates, but they
wpu�d er�tail the City purchasing a portion of th e Riedel property
�or a retainage bas�n. He pointed out that the high cost of this
pxopex�tx could make the project ex�ceed the cost oi' improvement
witlz4ut the ponding area and going, directly to the creek. I�e said
tk'�at �the cost of condenG.,ation of a: portion• of the Riedel property
gp�;CI,A�', pLTBx,,IC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 13 , 1969 PAGE 26
,�� an in.tangible amount. He said that the alternate proposal was
$1$O,OQO, but did not include the condemnation �osts on the
R�.edel propert,y •
�fr. Comstock said that there were three proposals possible. First
the one befQre the people now, with no ponding on the Riedel pro-
perty, t;hes �eQQnd with a ponding area of about 5 acres which would
be 'a,bout $155,OQ0. 'lrhe thi�d p�oposal was a ponding area of about
10 acres which would be about $174,000. He added that these figures
are from the year 1966 and since then the cost of labor and materials
and lan� has gone up. It was estim,ated that the cost of the land
i,n 19fi6 would be about $50 , 000 for 10 acres .
Councilman Liebl said that the Council is fully aware of the alter-
nates. He said that this area did not develop in ar� orderly manner,
and that this district should have been started with forethought,
but it is too late for that naw. He said that he felt that it
would be µnwise for the City to have 5 acres in the central part
of the City used as a dumping ground and that this would not be in
the best interests of the City, or the people to create a dumping
y�ound. He said that the cost of the project is not goin9 to get
any cheaper, and the reason the Council asked Comstock and Davis,
is that they had done the work before, and it would be wasteful to
ask them to coinpile a new report and spend a lot of money on this
preliminary report until the Council had an idea if the people
were to be receptive to this idea or not. He said that he must be
honest and say that he felt that the dumping area in the �aaio of
our Ci.ty would not be to anyone's advantage, but that the Council
must find some answer to this problem as it will get worse instead
o� better. Mr. Ingaldson said that he felt that any alternate
plans ahould be made public. If these alternate plans are not felt
to be feasible by the Council,the public shauld knaw this too.
Mr. Merle Jordahl, 575 67th Avenue N.E., said that when street
construction was started in ,front of his home, storm sewer pipes
aXrived, and ha did not knc�w tl�at there were going to be any
�tortp sewer pipes laid. He felt that an overall view of the pro-
b�.em w.ould have to be taken and educate the people . He com�nented
that it seemed that most of the streets could be put in on 68th
�1,venue and 7th Street without the whole storm sewer system. T'he
City Engineer said that there was a portion o f 68th Avenue and 7th
Street that could not be done and this was pointed out at the
street Public Hearing.
Mx�. Jsahn Gabrielson, 656 63rd Avenue N.E. said that

and the land is in probate, He said that he assumed that the
Children wpu�d be the awners. The City of Fridley is outletting
water onto �h��r land and he said that he had had a call from the
R����� estate's �ttorney saying that they�were going to bring suit
�gainst the City of Fridley for ponding on their property. He told
�he attoxneX that in that case the City would have to go ahead
w��h �he�r proposed storm sewer proposal, in which case that pro-
party would be heavily assessed.'' xe said that the City will be
f��ced to �ondemn some land for a retainage basin for the excess
water eventually if this is the way out ihat is chosen.
Mr. Richard Kemper, 6736 7th Street N.E, said that h� had signed
a petition to curb and surface 67'th Avenue. He said that as the
City �as a 10 year street improvement program, he felt that they
�m�.ght �s well get it done, before'the costs go even higher. He
sa�d tY�at the petition was accepted, but put off because of the
por�ion af storm sewer needed. H±e said he would just as soon put
it i,n now,when.thinking of the costs 10 years from naw. He asked
when this drainage district first started taking shape. Mr. Com-
stock said that it started when the first storm sewer district
was put in i,n �.954 or 1955. He said that this was before his firm
started working for the City. He'said that Comstock arid Davis
started working for the City in 1959. He said that the first
t�sk was to outline the storm sewer drainage districts. He said
that there was not enough money to do a complete topoc;raphic sur-
vey, so some was done by street grades and some was done be aerial
topography. The boundary to the southwest was established by the
baundard of Storm Se�er Project #5. The northern boundary was a
na�uxal bou�dary beinr Rice Creek. Some of the problems now are
caused by the developers of the Rice Creek Terrace Plats not
put�.ing in large enough storm se�wers. Mr. Kemper said that it
loQked to him like Mississippi Street would be a boundary. iyz.
Comstock replied that some areas south oF Mississippi Street x�un
i.�nto Itice Creek, but the problem here is that the pipes are too
sm�ll to carry off all the water, hence the ponding on the Riedel
propexty. Mr. Kemper said that then it appears that this storm
s�wer district was set up without an actual survey. Mr. Comstock
Said that �.h is is correct, as other storm sewer districts abut
'�2'��,� QAe, aand any piece of land can only be in one storm sewer
di��x�.�t. Mr. Kemper said that it seemed that very few people
Qc�m�1,�i,��d of f�.00ding. He commented that the Riedel property
��e ���n � catch basin since the City existed. He then asked the
Couric�,1, �.� ti��,s project is going in. Mayor Harris Pro tem said
th�,� it ia the policy of � e Council to weigh the information
x�e��.v�c�, c�et the public's opinion', then try to make a fair and
hc�nes� decision for the good of the City. He said that there will
�a� �o decis�.on made tonight. This' Public Hearing is just to get the
,��.��,�e�'s �e�lin9s. '

�* ��,,��y�� Nprd, 6805 Washington Street said that he was confused
�aput �kh� alternates Mr. Ingaldson brought up. Mr. Comstock then
�],�;�,�n�d �hem again with the costs . Mr. Nord said that we still
havA gxt7wth coming to the City, but there is not a great deal of.
land le�� available. He then br•ought up the Engineer's criteria
uged called �hQ � year frequency rate, and felt that this is a
�a.gh cost to pay for a storm once every five years. Mr. Comstock
qs�mm�nt�d that the txequency rate used by the freeway system is a
�p ye� �xequency rate, and they feel that if a storm causes
t�oubls� once in 50 years with a freeway,then it is underdesigned.
Mr. A.A. Ku�Cawski, 6131 5th Street N.E. asked if the storm sewer
wpu�.d �� x'unning in front of his home. Z'he City Engineer said no,
�e w��er �'uns south into the University Avenue Service Road openinc�.
Mr. Kukawski said tha� the land directly behind his home is not
�.ncluded and would not be assessed and wondered why. The City
��tqin�er said that once the improvement is ordered in, then exact
�igures can be arrived at. He $aid if he is not assessed under
pxoject ##80, he would be assessed under another storm sewer district.
M,i; ��{uicowsk�. pointed out that the soil is very sandy and the water
soaks �.n very faat.
�
Mr. R.D. Habel, 392 66th:Avenue N.E. said that he had receive+d four
l,ettets of notification of Pub lic Hearings for improvements. Iie
�aid that he has found that his assessments for all the improve-
mqx�ts wi11 be in excess of $3,000 and he felt that he, arid a good
xn�a,� Q� his neighbors could not afford this kind of assessment
��d would be driven out. He said that he would encourage the Council,
�o �.o4k ��k areas such a� his to see if there was not so� way of
acCOmp].�shing this in stages so that the assessments would not be
such a blvw all at once.
Mr. Darrel Saari, 6161 5th Street N.E. said that he agreed with Mr.
Kukowski that the soil is vexy sandy and there is no problem as the '
�,,����� ;�c�aks in ver'y fast .
�'. George Meissner, 373 Mississippi Street asked how the Hayes
Sahaol woul.d be assessed. Mayor Harris Pro tem said that the
s�haa�. wcauld be assessed at the same rate. Mr. Meissner said then
�,�tu��.ly the Citizens would pay into District #14, and also pay
thei�' � as�essment. He said that the problem always seems to
�pt� 'b�ck t4 the Riedel property where water has always stood.
�,+h� Gitx Attorney said that the City has an obligation to provide
prqper dxainage, and pointe�i out that if the City was the owner of
th�.s p�,ece of property, we would be entitled to use it, however,
�tQ ���.� that if the heirs were to' brir�g suit against the City, they
v,rQU1d not win their suit. He said that t�he vwners of this property
�
�
�
�
,

PAGE 29
are entitled to proper storm s�wer drainage the same as everyone
else. Mr. Meissner said that Y�e felt that if the Riedel people
were interested in draining their property, they wpuld have to
p�y m�ore, as they would de�uve more benefit. He said that he could
not see hvw his property would benefit.
A Visitor to the Meeting said that he lives on Baker Avenue and
' �there will be no pipe in his street, so he could not see why he
was included. Mayor Harris Pro tem said that i.f a pe�rson is in
a drainage district, they arp contri,buting water to tl�}e district
' by arunof�. 'I�he visitor from Baker Avenue said that he has only
lived in Fridley a short time, but with th is heavy assessment, he
could not stay.
Councilman Samuelson said that it seems that the problem comes back
�o th� Riedel property and the question if the City should purchase
samle o� it for a cost of possibly $200,000, or let it be developed
to a higher use which could mean a million dollar valuation for the
C�ty of Fridley. Councilman Liebl said that he appreciated the
comments from the Citizens, and that he felt that the right decision
has not been made in the past and,that this Council must look at
this problem from a long range point of view. Mayor Harris Pro tem
said ti�at he would like to thank a�l the people for their patience
and di.ligence in coming to the Meetir,}g tonight. He asked for a
show of hands of the people who were opposed to the project. A
large majority were against it, only three hax�ds were raised in
�avor of the project. Mayor Harris Pro tem said that this item
will be back on the next Agenda next Monday when Mayor Kirkham and
Counc�.lman $heridan will be able to attend. He said that the
�ounc��. will make sure the people will be notif�ed befor� the

ne�w wel�, hcrwever, there have been other hearings on getting a
water l�ne� qn t}�is street which the people objeeted to, and the
Counci� �el�t t�at it would be only fair to apprise the residents
pf t'he Qos�ibility of their wells running dry also.
Tk�e City Engineer said that this street is the only street in the
a��a th�t does not have City water. At the previous Public Hearings,
tMe people �elt that they had good wells and did not want City
wate�C. The proposal is to make an extension of the water line from
67th Avenue, alony University Avenue through 66th Avenue to 7th
Street and Mississippi Street to complete the loop and also extend
the line into the east end of 66th Avenue into the cul-de-sac.
The estimated cost is $26,800.00.
�he Fi.r�ance Director added that the rate per foot would be $6.15
plus $150 �er service spread over 20 years at 6% interest.
M;�. H�ro7.d Ohlsson, 376 66th Avenue N.E. said that he has experienced
well trouble. He tried to get a man to put in a well, but there
is only one man licensed for this in the City of Fridley. He
said th�t it would cost him about $1, 000 and would be about 93 '
deep. He said that if the City decides to put in City water, he
would like them to write an agreement that he would not have to
hook up if he has already put in a new well. He said that natur-
a1�.y if he goes ahead and puts $1000 into a well, then he would not
be in favor of City water. He said that at this time he is bor-
raw�ng water from a neighbor as a temporary measure until the re-
sul,ts of the Public Hearing are knvwn. He said that if the rest
o� his �neighbors want the water line, then he would not oppose it,
if he has a�.ready put in a ne�w well, but would want the agreemerit
t��t he would not have to hook up.
Mayor Harris Pro tem asked the audience to shaw by raising theis
hands, hvw many have had welt trouble. Three people raised their
hands. Mr. R.D. Habel, 392 66th Avenue said in his case the sand
point C].ogged and it cost him about $125 for repairs. Mr. James
Thayer, 377 66th Avenue asked what the point was in the loop back
af the water line. The City Engineer said it was to prevent the
water from becoming stagnant, and by doing so gives added fire
�arotection to the residents. He added that there are also tYiree
fixe hydraz�ts proposed on this line. Mr. 'I�hayer asked what the
$�5p ch�rge is for. The City Engineer said that this was for the
���u�,ce �rom the street water line to the house property line. He
�dded that the Council policy is that no street will be improved

�'. Hd�el �aid that whan he moved to the City he was surprised
�hat �her� was not City water there. Before he had always had
City water and felt that he could rely on it. He asked if the
w�t�r line goes in, would everyone have to hook up. The City •
�ngine�r said that all,the people would be assessed, but if some-
o�e did not wish to hook up, the Council has not been forcirg the
F�ople to do so. Mr. Habel then asked about hooking onto the water
system and also keeping his well. Councilman Samuelson said that
this is all right so long as the private well system is completely
divorced from the City system. Mr. Habel said that in this way
the we11 could be used for sprinkling lawns etc. and cut dawn on
the w�ter bill.
A vis�tor to t,he Meeting said that when the sewer line was put in,
a.t went in on the north side of the street and she asked if the
water line would go in the south boulevard. The City Engineer
a�id that generally the sewer line is put down the middle of the
�treet and the water line 10' from it and in the boulevard are
ga� lines, telephone cables etc. -
Mayor Harris Pro tem asked if there was a change in the watar table,

a�Y��• l�ayor Harris Pro tem answered that r�o one could tell.
�'he wells might be good for a number of years or ma.ybe other peaple

� The City Engineer said that generally the City does not let small
prQjects, such as this, but ties them into a larger project so as
�k4 get a b�tter bid price. He said fhat they will be letting -

A Vis,itor to the Meeting asked what the rninimum charge was for
water. �'he Fina,nce Director said $5.00 per quarter or 50G per
7,OQ4 gal�.Qns for the first 10,000 gallons. The meter deposit is
�40.Q0 which is refunded when a person l�aves the property. Council-
mar� Liebl, said as an example he pays aboµt $25.00 per quarter for

PU,BLIC HF.ARING ON VACATION OF A PORTION OF MARSHALL STREET:
M�yQx Harri,s Pro tem reac� the Public Hearing Notice to the
�ud�.ence. The City Engineer added that the portion under con-
sa.deration is a part of the old Marshall Street. It extends from
37th Avenue to the property awned by Minneapolis. He said in
thi� street there are many utilities such as N.S.P. lines, gas
1iz�es a�d telephone cables, along with Minneapolis waterworks
1in�s. �e said the City has received letters from the utility
companies asking that we retain the easement f.or the utilities.
�7'ames i�yde ot the Minneapolis Waterworks said he was here to
Qppose the vacation of this portion of Marshall Street.
Raymond Hegna, Attorney for the City of Minneapolis, said that
he appreciat,ed the opportunity to appear before the Council. He
s��.d that relations between the City of Minneapolis and the City
of Fxid�ey have always been quite good, but in this case he said
�hQ �it� of Minneapolis must object to the vacation. He said that
�h� City of Minneapolis Y�as been gY'a�illg ancl plawing snaw on that
sa�ti.on o� th� road. He sa�.� that the main water plant is at the
north end. He said that Minneapolis uses this road to haul sludge
fxom tl�e sludye beds. To close this road would mean they wauld
have ta use East River Road for their hauling. He pointed out that
th� Ci�y a� M��neapo�.is has 6" sanitary sewer mai�s in the street
��d ���,�� has lines there also. He said �hat vacation of this
Sta�ee� wQUld be detrimental to the City of Minneapolis. He said
t�a� h+� understood N.S.S.S.D. petitioned for this vacation. He
sa�.c� h� �e�t that N.S.S.S.D, is premature in it's request. In a
�t�w �+��.rs, the City of Minneapolis will need only one sludge bed

r��her than two. He said that he would like to ask that the re-
' $u,�st for vacation be held in abeyence until a year from nvw.
Counc�.�,man Liebl asked if they really needed this street. Mr.
1 H�g�a s��d yes, for about three years. After the reclamation
process is installed, then it will only have to be cleaned about
onc� in 20 years instead of twice a year. Councilman Liebl
' a��ked then after three years the City of Minneapolis feels they wi11

, Coun��,�man Samuelson said that there is a disagreement between the
�i�y o� Minneapolis and N.S.S.S.D. He suggested the possibility
o� bui�.cling a dam o� the Mississippi River, as this would also
' ��ovid� a recreational area. Mr. Hegna said the Corps of Engineers
s�udied th�s, but did not think it feasible.

1�'. �iyde said that it cost about $60,000 every year to empty the
sludge beds. He said the machinery they use is very heavy. Fie
sai.� a.n regards to the dam proposal, the amount of water Minneapolis
w�,].1 need is 300 million gallons per day, and in looking at the
pond�.ng area, it was found it was not deep enough for it.
Mayqr Harris Pro tem asked if, since the City of Minneapolis is
a first cla�s city, would they pay for any services, such as street
ligY�ting anc� Police protectior� etc. Mr. Hyde said that he did
no� knaw any stzeet lighting was proposed for that area.
�In,e F�na�nce Director asked what is the position of Minneapolis
, wifih r�gard to payment on assessments on prop�,rty. Mr. Hegna
s2��.d no��na�,1y if assessments are pn them, they have be�n paid,
��.�hQU�k� l�,e did not think there is any obligation to pay. 7,*he

TEN YBAR STREET IMPRO�VEMENT PROGRAM: (For areas south of Rice
Creek ar�d east of Highway #47 in Fridley, Minnesota)
The City Engineer explained that in the last five years the City
has been improving the old streets at a rate of about 2 miles per
year. There are sti.11 about 17 miles of streets not up to
City standards. He said this schedule should provide better
streat improvement through advanced planning of construction,
advance information to property owners, proper temporary repair of
streets until permanently improved, and reduced engineerinq costs.
iie then suggested that they be taken year by year, givinq anyone
an opportunity to ask questions under the proper year.

Re: Requesf; For Uporading Of County Road H-2
My dear_-Mayor Rustad:
Enclosed herewith you will find Resolution #2--196g of the rridley City
Council requesti.ng your Council to ask Ramsey County to upgrade County Road H-2
from the County's West boundai�y line to T.H. #�10.
As this road is goin� to be a through route between T.H. #47 and T.H. #10,
and there is considerable new construction alon� this road, this street will be
carryi.ng a quite high volume of traf�ic. This traffic trill steadil.y increase
dur_ing the .year as Onan, P�Iedtronics anc� Studebaker complete their construction
and launch into full operations.
The Onan plant, New Studebaker cen,tral offices and other industries being
, constructed in the area will contribute tremendously to the economic statuse of
Fridley, i�Iounds View and Ramsey Count,y. Our cooperatio.n with these large
industries can be instrumental in e.r_ticing more job producing firms into our
mutual areas.
We cextai.nly would appreciate whatever youx ho.norable body can do to get
County Road H-2 up;raded. The sections of the road in Fridle.y have alread.y been
improved last year.
Thank you f.or �rour consideratio.n.

MEMO FROh1: Mr. Virgil C. Herrick
City �ttorney
SUBJECT; Storm Sewer Drainage--Vili� of Spring Lake Park
I have on a number of occasions attempted to arrange a meeting
between the Village of Spring Lake Park, the Minnesota Highway
Department and the City of Fridley to discuss storm sewer
drain�ge problems in the area north of Osborne Road and west
of 11n i vers i ty ;�venue .
While the Highway Department has been cooperative, I have not
been able to arrange to have anyone from the Village of Spring
Lake Rark attend these meetings. I am of the opinion that
bpring Lake Park will not recognize an obligation to participate
in the cost of storm sewer probjects unless ordered to do so by
court action. I, therefore, suggest that either someone else
from the City attempt further negotiation or if the Council so
desires, that I be authorized to commence necessary legal action..

MEMO T0: City Council
FROM: Finance Director
SUBJECT: Metropolitan Tax Proposal
The Finance Committee of the Metropolitan Section of the League of Minnesota
Municipalities has under consideration a proposal which involves the �
collection and distribution of an income tax, a wheelage tax and a hotel
and admissions tax.
The Finance Committee will be submitting this proposal to the Metropolitan
Section of the League. The League will be voting on this proposal the
latter part of January 1969. If approved the League of Minnesota Municipalities
will recommend a specific proposal or bill to the legislature for passage. It
would then be up to the legislature to either inact or turn down the proposal.
A brief summary of the three types of taxes is listed below.
INCOME TAX:
The proposal is for a 1 1/2o gross income tax on individuals in the metropolitan
area. This would raise approximately 53 million dollars. One third would go
to the cities, 1/6 to the counties and 1/2 to the school districts. The
distribution of the taxes back to the cities would be based on a combination of
ability to pay and need. Ability to pay takes into consideration the assessed
value per capita of a particular municipality as compared to the assessed
value per capita of the metropolitan area as a whole. The need takes into
consideration the tax levy per capita compared to the metropolitan area as a
whole. The distribution of the school di.stricts would be based on a pupil
basis with some adjustments for the different types of students.
WHEELAGE TAX:
The wheelage tax would be 1/2 of the existing license fee and would raise
approximately 15 million dollars. Two thirds of this tax would go to the
cities on a population basis and 1/3 to the counties.
HOTEL AND ADMISSIONSTAX:
This tax would raise approximately three million dollars. Two thirds would
go to the cities and 1/3 to the counties. To be distributed on a population
basis,

December 19, 1968
To: Metropolitan Area Finance Officers
A copy of "A Proposed Metropolitan Section Tax Program" is enclosed for
•your information. Whil.e Ghis is not presently part of the Metropoliian
Section's Iegislative pr�gram, on January 23, 1969, Lhe general member-
ship of the S�ction will take a formal posiLion on this imporcant subject.
Without question the mosL controversial and perhaps most important proposal
in this tax program relates io the distribution of the revenue from a gross
income tax using a formula Which will reduce the present and future fiscal
disparities in �.he metr�politan area (see Section 3d and 3e of the Proposed
Metropolitan Section Tax Program). ThiS di�tribution formula has a two-
fold objective: �1) to provide relief from reg�essive property taxes, and
(2) to minimize differences beLween so�called "have" and °7have not" units
of government. The reactions we haue recei.ved to dac.e indicate that the
rationale upon which th�s formula is based is somewhat difficult to under-
stand.
Therefore, we are making available the staff of the Metrop�3litan Section
(i.e. Dean Lund and Paul Dow� to personally explain the disparity and dis-
tr�bution formulas and the orher aspects.of the tax program to you and%or
your council at your convenience. In addition, ycu are encouraged to ask
questions and make consc.ructive criticism to the staff.
Sincerely,

1!
;� � c. Reducing the regressive impact of the properiy tax
, s- on low income home-ow�.iers and renters.
� Goal 2.
_�
To reduce existiz�g fiscal disparities between lqcal taxing
units in the metropolitan area and thereby reduce the
economic incentives which foster fiscal zoning practices
by 3mposing a metropolitan-wide tax and distributing it
to Local Governments as follows:
a. The enactment of a tax on the gross income of f ����
residents of the sevezt-county metropolitan area�
b. The distribution of one half of the revenue '
resulting fron a metropolitan gross incom� tax
ta municipalities (67%) and counties (33�) within
the area an the basis of their rel.ative needs
and ahility to pay.
c. The distribution of the other hal.f of the revenue
resulLing from a metrQpolitan gross inconte tax
to school districts on the basis of their relative
need and ability to pay.
�_
- 2 -
��
_ .��
Goal 3. �To provide a continuing and gradual2y increasing flow of
revenue ta loca2 governments sufficient to maintain local `
services aC desi:�able at�d necessary levels by:
a. The enactment of a wheelage tax at the rate of
50% ot the state license fees in the seven-county
metropolitan area; �
b. The enactment of a 3% admission, amusement and hotel-
• motel room tax in tlze seven--county metropolitan area;
and
c. The distribution of two-thirds of the revenue from
the nietropol.itan wheelage tax and the metropolitan
admission, 3musement and hotel-notel room tax to
municipalities and one-third ta counties on a '
per-capita bas�.s.
j,� �
'� _ ,� Goal 4. To reCurn locally shared s�ate taxes so as to reflect more
f accuraeel the current needs O� ZOC11
y government and the
� , services they �erform. '
�• �
�i We believe the locally shared sta.te taxes wuuld be of
�- �
i -- more value to l�cal governments and to their constituents
� if the followin� three modifications were adopted:
,; ,
�:
a. Returni.ng shared taxes so as to ref.lect changes -
�!l in population resultzng from anneYations;
. . b A
i �
}
�
;-
. djusting the calendar for returning shared -
o�� taxes so as to minimize the need for tax antici-
pation borrowing by municipalzties at the
beginning o£ the calendar. year (i.e., Ghe fiscal
year for aIl buC a few municipalities);
c. Develaping a policy with respect to return of
,. � shared taxes to local government which would
reflect the financial needs of such units and
� the governmental services they perform. (These
. , three items are included in the League of .
Minnesota �iunicipalities legislative program.)

': p�rsona� property taxes we.:e levied on a statewide basis '
in �965 and of this totu� $31.7 million was levied in the ; , '
seven-counCy metropolitaa area. Even when these fi�ures ' '
ar� reduced to .~ef;.ect a�pro:;imately $2Q0 million of state- �
wide property ta:: relief provin�d by the Tax Re£orm and _ �
. �
. Relief Act of 1967, the property tax still looms very
Iarge as a source o� revenue to support local services. �
Thus, local offi.cials ali across the state are vitally � �
concer:�ed Cha� tiie property tsx base be as br.oad as _ _
possible and taat its administratioix Ue impartial and.
equi�able. To achieve this oaal we recom.-nend the following '
three specific pro?osais: .
a. Amendinry P._-��ic1e 9�Sac4ion 1 0� the Minnesota •
Constitution t:, t;ermit ��e �e�islature to
d�fine or. otne�a�ise li.r,:it ",� classes of . .
Q-rogerty now exerr,nted by thL Const�tution. .
(This is included i:. the League of Minnesota
' . Municipal�ties levislative program.)
Since the state Constitutioa caas adopted in 1858,
� � , certaic. Glasse:, oL propez�y have been exempted from ,
. property ta�ati.o;.. Whlle the legislature
has had authority to add to these exempt classes, *
it has not been permitted to abridge the constitu-
. • tional exempeions or to redefine them in the ' �
.�
light oi ci�.anged c�rca�nstar.ces. � The growth �
� . ,
in the an:ount o° exer,ipt property in recent years, °
augr�ented by libe.al court interpretations of the
constitutional e�:er�ption, h�s been viewed with -' - .
increasin� cor.cern by Iocal governments throughout .-
' the state.� T� e inc�ease in e:e:apt property from '
19S6 to J.9�2 ��as much m�re ranid than Che growth �

� the state,.and ir.dications �r� that the grocath tFj
of exempt property has oeen proportionately
. , . r. . . . ,, . ,
greater since 19b2.
Admittedly there is no genersl agreement presently
on the classes of property t?zat should be exempt
fYOn property taxes nor upon the definition of those
classes.. however, there is grocaing sentiment �
among the leac�ershir of charitable and religious
: organizations, as ��•ell as amonb local officials
'and legislators, for redzf�nino'existing exemptions
in the light of chanoing cir.cu�r�stances. Such
changes in tax-eae:�pt �olicy can be u�de only if
the legislatu:e is give:i broader authority�in this' '
field aad then should c,n1y be made after careful study
and deliberation to assure that each particular
change is equita�le and �n the public interest.
This can best be done by an,er.din� �he Ninnesota
� ConsCitution as indicated above with the
understanding that the nresent exemptions would �
continua in e.fect unt�l specifically ciianged
by law.

This latter pracCic� also effectively prevents low income
groups, including racial n�r.orities, from moving into
suburban commur.ities. These practices, which are often
� ,
terned iiscal zor.�ns, can be dereaded as reasonable and ,
log�cal from tne poiat o� viaw of the individual munici-
pality. {Soneoue :.as described them as a rational

In approachi:;; the problen ot fiscal dfspaYities, there .
would seem to oe two basic o�tions or alternatives open to the
x.etropolitan con;.^.,unity. jde can decide to take no action '
to renedy the s�tuat:o:� eiCner on tne basis that this does
not really constitute a serious �r•oblem in our metropolitaa
,
community, or �n th� basis tnat the soiutions to it are .
� ��orse than the prob�e^ itsel�. However, the.consequen�es ..
�
of such a decision will•prova very d�f�icult to live with

as tne•inequalitie� in educ�tivaal opportunities

talcen in the ir;.aiediate .uture, the f�scal disparities may .

tend to dicide our .�.et�000yitan com:nunity along fiscal: ' ,• ' �

it is quite progr.cssive in i;.s impact up to the

a. The enactment of a wheelage tax at the raCe of
50% of the state license fees in the seven-county
metropolitan area.
Largely because of legislative restrictions which
- have been placed upon the use of wheelage taxes and
the practical difficulty of administration on a
municipal basis, the wheelage tax has not been used
as a local source of revenue in Minnesota. However,
there is ample justification for such a tax since the
motor veh3cle owners are the direcC beneficiaries
of l.ocal roads and streets and related traffic
services. Furthermore, municipal expenditures
for local streets and traffic control have been growing
very rapidly during the last decade and wheelage tax
revenue could logically be used to meet some of
� these needs.and thus relieve the burden on the property
tax to some extent. This would also be consistent
with the provision in the state Constitution which
requires that the revenue from any local wheelage tax
be used for road and street purposes. A wheelage
tax of 50% of the state license fees would yield
approximately $15 million in 1970.
b. The enactment of a 3% admission, amusement and hotel-
motel room tax in the seven-county metropolitan area.
A hotel-motel room tax is normally imposed as a
percentage of the rental on sleeping or rooming
accommodations in hotels, motels, resorta,
apartment hotels or lodging houses: and is usually
limited to temporary occupancy designated variously

as anywhere from less than 30 days to le�s than one. '
year. The hotel-motel room tax is justified, in
part, on the benefit principle. Specific govern-
mental facilities and services in large cities �
are provided largely for conventions and conferences,
for tourists and for others just. � passing through '
a city. The tax affords a way of se�uring revenue
fro� the transient population. Furthermore, such
a tax does not burden the poor as they seldom �
use these services. Most individuals who travel
have the ability to pay the tax and those traveling
for business reasons generally have expense , �� -�� -
accounts, so'the.tax is passed on to the employer.
Admission and amusement taxes are imposed on
, such semi-Iuxuries as commercial sports, selected
• entertainment events, and amusement activities. '
Generally, cultural and educational events are
- exempt.• Such taxes have been appraised by
some experts on local government taxes as a
r
"natural" for municipalities. The items covered
fall into a semi-luxury class. The taxes are '
• borne by residents primarily but they also reach
'-
non-residents who come to the city for entertainment
and amusement. The tax •ryie]d for a 3% admi.ssion,
. -
amusement and hotel-motel room tax would be
approximately $3 million in 1970.

1.The formula'includes a weighte�l pupil unit figure as a measure of need.
This was done by breaking the tudent population of each school district
down into three ca.tegories and giving each category a different weight
to reflect its r.elative cost a follows: Kindezgazteners- 0.5; Grade "
School Students - 1.0; and Hig�► School Students - 1.25. In this way

we arrived at an �:djusted st�.;�ant population which more nearly reflects
the financial needs of eacii d�strict. To this we added a certain weight
for each handicapped or hign �ost child in each school district as
shown below: '

Thus, a grade school student �rith an orthopedic handicap would be weighted
2.0; the same student who a1sQ had a speech handicap would be weighted 2.5, etc.
2. Methodologye How to arriveiat total weighted pupil units.

by the average daily a�ttendance in the district (PL) to obtain

1. PUBLIC MEETING• HYDE PARK ADDITION REZONING STUI7Y BY NASON, WEHRMAN. KNIGHT
AND CHAPMAN, INC.
The representatives from the planning firm were William Chapman and
Michael Murphy.
The Chairnian gave a brief run down of the problem by saying that many
months ago the Planning Commnission realized they had an area of some 80 acres
bettaeen Main Street and University, 57th Avenue on the South and 61st Avenue on
North which was presently zoned R-2 permitting two family dwellings. In this area
th�re ar� uses of Industrial, Conanercial, Multiple, Single Fami.ly and, he thought,
a�.mos:k no two family dwellings. Under the old meaning of the R-2 Ordinance, there
was p�rmitted certain types of multiple dwellings and that is what �you have a great
d�al of down there now. They felt an area that large of two family dwellings was
p�obably improper, and because they were just plain citizens, just like the people
pxesent„ they needed help to know what dec,ision should be made for the rezoning
x�y,u4eta that axe continual�y caming up in that area. They requested, some months
ago, that the City Council hire a professional planner to make a study of the axea
ar�d �o see if they could come up with some reca�aendations for the Goae�nissio� to
�t�e, and the City entered into a cor�tract with Nason, Wehrman, Knight & Chap�an,
��nc. The Planning Coamnission had not given them any direct advice; they were left
w�.th at� open mind to consider every type of possibility. This me�tiug definitely
wae x�ot a xezoni.ng hearing.
Mr. Chapman explained that they had b�en working with the Platuning Commission
�nd their conc�rn has been to develop a guideline plan fox the development of the

o£ th� area which could be utilized by the Planning Comaission in the future.
Tb,eir intent is not to discriminafie against anything, but to improve the
�xea to the benefit of the area xesidents and to the area at large. They
�natde planned studies - no engineering atudies - of the area, what exists,
what problems are thexe, what they could expect to happen over a period of
time. Their thinking, to some extent at this point, is how it will grow
over a period of time and what they feel would develop over a period of
ti.me. Mr. Mike Murphy was asked to discuss this.
Mx. Murphy used the projector to exhibit the maps. Map #1 showed the
zo�in$ af the Hyde Park area and im�nediate surrounding area, but did not
cross over T.H. �47 to the East. As the map indicates, an industrial district
is si.tuated between two residential areas -- Hyde Park to the east and
anpthex x�sidential area lying along the river to the west. The circulation
of txaffic was discussed. It was'noted that residential streets would carry
cammercial and industrial traffic as both of these uses require traffic
which would co�me on the streets im�ediately adjacent to co�nnercish�i iadue-
trial, creating a traffic hazard. Map #r,� was a circulation map n8
main routes being Main Street, 61st Avenue and 57th Avenue. The indications
are that the present circulation system will be inadequate to sufficiently
sexve any of the three uses to which it will be put. Such traffic will be
a h&zard to children and pedestrians.
k(,ap �k3 is the Existing Land Use Plan, and this showed the size of the
building structures. Mr. Miurphy continued that the point to be considered
here was that those houses which are in the lower range of square footage
will soon become inadequate. It was noted that apartments have repl,aced
previously built houses. The small houses will probably go first and if
that happens, they will go to a*+artment buildings. �.'he apartments account
for about 30% of the structures :�,1 the residential area of Hyde Park and
houses are about 60% of the families.One thing to be considered are the
children from the apartments. It is not likely the apartments wi11 over-
load the schoola, but playgrounc�� are needed for the children because they
do nat have yards of their own and are playing in the neighbor's yard or
in the street. Based on this look at the area, several recommendations can
be reached at this point. This is an area that has been previously dominated
by single family dwellings and are now switching to apartments. If this
happens, it must either be encouraged or discouraged altogether. Because
of the North-South access, it is an ideal location for apartments or town-
houses. You should try to encourage the most satisfactory development.
Other considerations are handling of traffic that is in conflict,
sueh as coaQaercial traffic. Referring to the three coBmercial settlements
on 3rd Street, Mr. Murphy said there is no access for them fram Highway �47
and since the only a�cess for these 3 commercial settlements is through the
residential area itself, the recommendation is that these three not be allowed
to develop further.
We also
where in the
tion where,
included in our proposals the need for a park to be located sc�me-
study area. We tried to locate it near the center and in a loca-
at the present time, there are no buildings.
We have prepared and have with us three plans in which we have tried to
it�dicate solutions and provided what we feel is best for the pxoper develop-
' ment of your area.

��cheme A: Theitraffic signal on bniv,ersity Avenue has been changed from
the �.x�tersection at 57th Avenue to 57th Place. The advantage of this is commer-
ci�l on both sides of �he str.eet and permit the development of lot depths
ne���ssary for appropriate commercial frontage. The diagonal crosswalks on 60th
Avenue at 2nd and 2� Streets would block traffic coming into the area and
form a loop that would prevent traffic entirely through the residential area.
North of 61st Avenue are single family residences. In order to prevent damage
to property values as a result of an abrupt change in land use, it is recom-
mended that the northernportion of Hyde Park, lying �enerally between 60th
and 61st Avenues be held in predominantly single family use, belaw this as we
go South from 60th, we start out with two or three family dwellings, then to
higher density multiples adjacent to the commercial along 57th and 57th Place.
Scheme B: The traffic remains the same at 57th Avenue, without relocating
of traffic signal and the commercial the same as in Scheme A. A possible Park
Site�: i��I;u.�les 2� ���eet and 3rd �treet. ,.. It�, �:s �1mQst �wo acre�, generally
u�dev�lm�ie�1 tait}�' th� ,;exception of th�e� �hou���., *�'� "�!�uld'be ppss3.b1Q to buy
them and'leav� a relatively large area free`�or �he,�,p'layground: fihe diagoaal
crosswalk� are in the same place as Scheme A.
Scheme C: 57th Place would eventually'be vacated as a through street
az�d converted into a service drive at the rear of the coma►ercial development.
It would then be necessary that no further residential development be allowed
to occux with frontage on it. 59th Avenue has been vacated and vacant land
tp be acquired for a park. Second Street and 2� Street would end in cul de
saca 4n �ither side of the park.
Mr. Chapman added, that as you see, we have reviewed essentially a
�twelve block area, barely 3� blocks wide, bounded by a major thoroughfare on
the East with no access on University Avenue, a potential industrial area
on the West, coc�unercial activities on the South. What we have is a small
neighbarhood which we Tmust do everything possible to improve. Our coricera
was about the existance of small coaenercial places within the area, concern
for traffic, tnajor concern is the continual possibility of industrial traff�c
produced by the land to the W�st. It could be adverse to the community if
noz properly handled.
Chairman Erickson, at this point, asked for the opinion of the people.
• Ha7cl.ow E. Kinney, 5841 2� St.: T have lived there for quite awhile. If they
pu� i� this park (Scheme "C") I will need to get a helicopter to get out of
�y yaxd. Now to get to University, I have to go to Main Street if I want
fio go South. I have to go down 3rd Street ro go North, go around a dozea
c�xal� ta get to Holly Shopping Center.
Jack 0. Kirkham, Mayor: Asked if the surrounding areas had been studied
a7�d imtestigated, such as the Northern Pacific Railroad track, the Great
No7rthexn. Txack, East River Road, but there was no indication what was going on
across T.H, �F�+7. We do have com�nercial development here (West side of Univer-
�i,ty). It seems quite evident that residential development has been proposed
i� a11 of the Schemes,but it has ber� residential for a long time and nothing
1��s happened. Op North on Highway #47, South of Osborne Road there is now
p�opos�d a cou�nercial development. It developed after it had been changed to
coiaaexcial.

��.�� �
Azao�hex �hing aot considered, one of the strongest motivating factors
w�a the fact� that most of the people ia this itnnedi,ate area were asking for
and i�iterested in commercial zoning. It might be possible commercial there
would not be good, but I would like to see some proposals showing what would
happen i� co�ercial were there. To get access to the commercial area, there
could be a slip off ramp oa 61st, the diagonal crosswalk �ould be used, and
ccm�tercial could be from 60th Avenue South on 3rd Street. It is hard for the
people who have co�nercial developments here to watch successful couaaercial
ent�rpxises being developed across University Avenue.
Mayor Kirkham would like to recotmnend a completion of the planning study.
� It d�d not seem to him we have accomplished what we set out to do. He felt
we asked for a professional planner to come in and show us the best use of
tl�e land here. Since it was the desire of so many people to want co�ercial,
h� would like to see at least a proposal of what a commercial development
, would do and what it wouldn't do. Wherever separation is needed between
aomm�xcial and exis�ing multiple, we could use the diagonal crosswalk to
separate �his and then keep the cam�nercial traffic in couanercial area as
� shown in the Schemes. The assignment has not been completed. We need more
study.
' Mr. Chapman answered that he would like to take up the point of the
cottpmerci,al development. They had considexed co�nercial, but tbe exhibit
doea not show a strip of com�nercial on the East side backing up to a good
� xesidential neighboxhood. One of the problems extending out �rom Minneapolis
�,� a strip of couanercial development facility. Some axe not too good. They
do have a tax return and have, for the owner, in the change from residential
to cowunercial, a possibility of valuation. Some commercial strips in Minn�a�-
� polis which extend out Central Avenue are � block wide, but they have produced
pxablems ior the cou�unities. The width of the conunercial strip East of
$ighway ��47 is substantially wider thau what could be produced between the
� ��.ghway and 3rd Stxeet. It is especially narrow and we feel it is msuch too
x�axr�+► to serve commexcial. He did not have the market information to show
�h� �eed �'or that much more cot@nercial in this area at this time. If we are
� g9ing to remove the residential to allow comaercial, two shallow blocks of
width fox residential surrounded on two sides by comm�ercial and one side
i�dus��ial, I would say would not be good.
�
�
�
�
'
�
�
Mr. Murphy said that the reason there is no co�ercial on the West s�de
Q� I�wy. ��+7, but on the East side, is that there is very little relationship
acxass the highway. There might be similar uses, but they won't be uses that
are xe7.ated with a direct connection. They don't affect one another.
�ldon Schmedeke, 5900 University Ave. N.E.: He stated he was a prop rty
qw�ex' in the counnercial area for twenty years. On this narrow strip you ay
cc►mm�rc�.al can't exist long. It is hard to prove to me. The planner's m�p
daes�'t show his complete area as he owns three lots instead of two indicated
aT� �h�ir map. He said he had drawn up maps he intended to give to the Planning
CAmmi.ssion which show a slip off going in on 60th, crosswalk and diagonal,
59t11 is open. This plan would not bother the residential North of 60th Ave.
Mo&C o� the res�dents object to the paxk as shown in the Schemes, but would
like xh� City to buy the industxial �and now before it goes sky high fox a
gAad gized park. ,

�'i�'s, Floyd �radley, owner of apartments at 5900, 5908, 5916 2� Street:
8�e ��t�.d they have apartments down there and would like to know just exactly
wh�x� the park will be. A neighbor said it would take the first apartment
buildi�g. We have been there six years and taxes have increased. Would be
glad to sell right now.
,jsnsen infoxzned her the plan would not affect her buildings.
Ck�ai.�nan Eri�kson again informed the people that this is not a rezonia$
' h�ari�g, The �dea behind.the planner's presentation is to try and establiah
,� p�ttex't� of development and a pattern that Che City can li$ten to as far
�s a rezo�ning pattern is concerned. There is no plan to demoli�h any�h�.ng.
, Mrs. Donald Crooks, 5910 2nd St.: Sj�e asked Plan C to be shown on the
projec�or. She said she lived on the Nort�i side, 59th and 2nd street and on
the 16�f� s�de af 2nd �treet on the corner. Your map does not show our
, property as it is. We have an exit from our property onto 59th from our
�,axa$e. You have our house smaller than all the surrounding houses which is
npt the case. -

Mr. Murphy explained these maps do not necessarily indicate the outlay.
Mrs. �rooks said she felt somet�,mes these �lans are put up that way to
1A�ke� the houses look chiriC�y.
Again Mr. Murphy trl.ed �o assure hex that they were not trying to shave
o�f the val.ue of any of the houses.
Mrs. Crooks continued that hex house has been shown as having smaller
floox space thaz� she actually has and then the plan shows that 59th Aven�te
wauld be taken away so that they wouldn't be able to get out of theix property.
' Mr. Murphy said �hat this is �aot a plan but a Scheme being presented.
�'k�,e r�ason why three Schemes were made up rather than one was to �ive you th�
ck�oiae of alternate that could be enacted in your neighborhoad if you agxeed
w3.�h it, These three,they feel,were acceptable as far as their basic goals
wsxe eo�cerned.
I�rs. Crooks: About University and the Co�ercial there, I still can'�
u�derstand why those peop�.e were not given a service road along Universi�y
�� th� time of the Highway. They te11 me they ran out of land. That does
nqt tn$ke sense to me. When the plans were being made, why can't they tnalte
� se7rvice �road along Universi.ty.
I+'�r. Murphy replied that there was not adequate room for a service d�ive.
�H� re���rred to �h� map).

R,ogex Berggxen, 5821 2nd St.: I am wo�dering �bout the use of the �ark
i� th�.s area. The study is mainly of apartment buildings and the childr��n
�hex�. � think most of them are pxe-school. In my apartment, by the time
k'�e�r c�i,�dren axe grown up, they move out and into homes. We have a park
�,�t �he Sylvan Hills axea. In the last park bond issue, they planned buying
1�,r�d ox� the cox'ner of Main Street and 61st Avenue in �he industrial area.
� dot�'t �Cnow how many children are in the area now, but I think the children
1'� the �par�me�ta when they are older, will not be using the park.

Mr. Murphy added that if there were many apartments in the area, it would
be expectecl there would be children and that there would be a rather high
number of small children, an average of one child per apartment.
Chairman Exicksora a�ked the opinion of the get�era� aaad��a��e as to
whethex or not a park ia needed ia� tha,+� �s�a.
Mr. Roger Berggren said that the ownere of multiple drtelliags ir� this day
and age are tryiag to diecourage people with children.
Councilman Liebl, Third Ward: (Standing at projector) I do agree
' paxtially with Mayor Kirkham. This area between 61st and 5ith -- I am your
counciltnan and represent you at the council table and it is my opinion that
we should have no rezoning from 61st to 60th at all. This is a vexy weli
, establi�hed residential R-1 area with a couple of e.�cceptions -- two double
bungalows and a nice apartment building. A lot of people have called me and
indicated that they are willing to go along for a commercial rezoning if
they can get enough money for the land to sell out and they could build a
' house somewhere else. They indicated to me that they would like to see,
from the middle of the block all the way down 2� Street, rezoned coaenercial
just like the mayor indicated.
'
'
'
He continued that he was not too impressed with all three Schemes, l�ut
he did not criticize the Schemes as he realizes a lot of time was spent on .
them. We already have got a lot of apartment houses which are in bad shape
and the streets are not in good shape either. The people South of 60th Aveaue
are ready, and I think the petition indicated they are willing to go co�ner-
cial. You have co�ercial in Holiday and in the last few years the trend
has been co�ercial moving to the North. We have to be consistent. We have
to decide either to go all the way R-3 and leave partially R-1 or R-2 or
go and create a connnercial area all the way along University Avenue. I would
like to see Mr. Chapman, if it is all n�ssible, if it is feasible to prepare
a proposal which would ma.ke it possible to have comnercial area up 2'� Street.
We also need a park in this area. There is a five acre plot, which is
industrial and easily accessible from this area. We had it on the park bond
iasue last year and it was defeated. We still need a park in this area.
If we go R-3, it is going to create twi,ce the traffic problem that we already
have. We have to have two blocks in depth for the com�nercial establishment.
T would like to say that we instruct Mr. Chapman and Mr. Murphy to prepare
a sketch showing commercial as discussed.
Mr. Chapma.n stated that he did not think they were so far apart in
their thinking. The concern was that the area between 60th and 61st should
xemain pretty much the same, single family, but commercial activities should
con£ine themselves along 47th and adjacent to Holiday. Most of the cacmnercial
is right on the end, adjacent to Holiday. Coamercial �hould happen in this
area. I am worried about this squeeze play on residential. I do not know
the ma.rket for commercial in this area. If a larger area of comnercial should
happen, it should be done on a large scale, a developer should get a number of
parcels -- one half block, one third block or one and a half blocks. This
would allow you a good devel�^ment. If individua� lots were sold, it should
preferably be two or three at a time. Concerning the park area, our thinking
was for the small children that they would not be required to cross a thorough-
fare. Our idea was a neighborhood park rather than a city wide facility.

Pla�i�� Co��asian Meet�ng - January 8, �969 Page 7
��ank H. Hart, Jr., 6000 �rd St.: I was surprised so many people were
againat Che park. Speaking of com�►ercial zoning, you have your big Holiday
Sfioxes which are breeding places for juvenile delinquents. Some foxm of a
paxk for the childxen to work off their frustrations should be figured in.
If the people would stop to think about this, I think they would find it to
be true: I think definitely there should be a park.
Mr. Schmedeke: The reason we did not like a park in that area , a lot
, of us people here have homes which are paid for, probably some in each block.
When you take a home away that some people have already paid for, it makes it
mean. E�eryone was interested in a park on Main and 61st Avenue. Appraiser's
price never turns out to be what people have in the hame. If we are going
, comnercial, I don't know how badly we need a toddlers park there.
,
,
,
Mrs. John Peka, 5925 2� Street: If we took this as a park, it will be
just too small. If there is going to be a park, it should be for some of
the older children, too. We are right across the street from the lady that
owns the apaxtments. There is a problem of parking now and whea the streets
are so narrow, I don't think a park would work.
AeWayne H. Woehler, 6004 2� St.: I agree on the park. I have kids about
to be teenagers. They are the ones who need the park -- toddlers stay �n the
yard. The kids go to the swi�ing pool clear over to the Junior High. I
would like to see a park in the industrial area as discussed.
� Jensen said he wished to co�nend the people that have spoken tonight at
this meeting. The Planning Couenission have received a great deal of assistance.
Cosmrne�ts have been made in a very fair fashion. Oftentimes these public
' me�tings do not turn out this way. He believed they all had a fine inter-
change of ideas.

Mrs. Crooks: I agree with Mr. Hart on the proposal for a paxk in that
area. The present Sylvan Hills Park is �iDt adequate for the larger children.
We need more park area for these children and I believe it is necessary for'
the coirmunity.
Kenneth R. Strand, 5955 2� Street: I am in the area where everybody
talks about coII¢nercial. I am undecided yet. I would just as soon see the lot
just as it is, R-2, but if three quarters of the block goes conm�ercial, I
would have to go for conmercial, too.
Mrs. Crooks: From 59th Avenue to 60th Avenue West of 2� Street, there
axe new homes that have been in not too many years and are nice homes. There
axe xeal].y only two that are small so there would be quite a few homes you
would have to disrupt. Anyone could sell their particular parcel, bu� we
would have to live there for twenty years. At the present time, the homes
along �hat area would be very much harmed by the change of zoning and more
tnultiples wou�d be very hard tr� live next to, but if you develop Uaiversity
£i7rst and then go back, perhaps our area would be ready.
Conrad D, Garness, 5916 2nd St.: I feel rather than take somebody's
hoxne wk�en there would be enough room elsewhere, the park should be in the
i'�dustrial zone where it has already been mentioned.

�trs. Haxlow Kinney, 5841 2� St.: Talking about building up apartment houses,
we buflt our h,ome to specifications. This is probably about the only one
that is built this way. We would be living there with apartments all the way
axound us. The problems of the apartment across the street are traffic,
xubbish and garbage. I would like it to be total co�nercial starti�ng at one
end and working their way up.
Mr. Schmedeke: I would like to have you accept these petitions. In my
praposals, I don't think all of us are hoping to wait for a shopping center to
buy the whole works. I think it would be fair to start at one side of the
block from a cou�ercial area and taking at least.the smallest size area
that, was so.ld ac.ros's the s,txe�t from,us. If, it were tl�ree or four lots wide,
, : , ., �
that would b� sufficient on �he �full blocks I was 'h'oping it ;��u,i�i go �he
d�pth of the block, hoping with .your �oi�cura�eticer the building �c�gt�� �le� i�n,� ;
the front (West side) with parking in the b'ack and it would not.��c3wt, pa�kizig ?�
from the highway. This would be solved on the small lots by ha�iiig a screen
o£''evergreens and sodded. And having the parking at the back of'the buildings� .�
it would be possible for it to be as nice a place as anywhere in the City.
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Mittelstadt, that the Planning Co�ission
receive the Petition dated December 15, 1967 circulated by Eldon Schmedeke
xe�,a�ive to a desire for cammercial zoning in Blocks 12, 21, 22 and N� of
Block�28 in Hyde Park Addition ot, Frid�ey, and also a Petition for Blocks 12,
21, 22 and 28 for the same purpose dated January 3, 1969 apparently circulated
by Eldon Schmedeke, and a Petition dated January 3, 1969 apparently circulated
by Erwin Bjorngjeld requesting that the existing R-2 zoning be maintained in
Block 9 and W� of Block 10, and Petition dated January 3, 1969 circulated by
Clifford Skillings requesting that the present R-2 zoning be maintained a18o
in BJ.ock 9 and W� of Block 10, and a Petition dated January 3, 1969 circulated
by Lee Baxott requesting the existing R-2 zoning be maintained in the E� of
$],ock 8 and Block 7, all in Hyde P3rk Addition. Upon a voice vv�e, all voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Erickson asked if Mr. Schmedeke wished to present his maps, but
Mx. Schmedeke declined eaying he would bsing them to a meeting for the CoAmis-
sion to study.
Mr. Chapma.n said he felt at this point that he would like to read the
transcxipt qf this meeting to clarify, in his mind, what the feeling is.
To digest it to see if he has learned something different fram what the
Planning Co�ission has learned and then discuss it with them.
Mr. Mittelstadt said he felt the Mayor thought this study was not complete.
He felt it would be up to the Council to decide what the future steps should be.
�,'he following by Mr. Jensen was for clarification to the public: Mr.
Mittelstadt has been on the Planning Coirmission for a relatively short time
and waan't in on the full background of study. It is true the consulting
plannexs were hired by the City Council, but they have been working pretty
mouch under the directic and in consultation with the Planning Conenission
with relatively little contact with Council. From that standpoint, it
would seem logical for that direction to come from the Planning Comnission
unless the Council would direct us in another direction.

ChaixYnaa Erickson said he agreed. He thought Mr. Chapman's coaments of
wanti�ng to study the transcription was fine, but if the Council wished to
direct him to prepare another map of the area showing feasibility of what seems
to be the general opinion of a cousaercial district along 3rd Street, we should
dixQct him at this point.
Mr. Myhra said it see;ms without a question it is the•feeling of the group
and that's what we want.
� Mr. Jensen com�aented that one axea of concern relative to the;idea of
cc�msaercial expansion in the general vicinity of 3rd Street to 2� Street from
59th Avenue to 57th Avenue is the economics. I am not particularly well
versed in this subject as an individual, but if this were proposed tp be
� zoned can�nercial, and that the Planning Comnission would recommend it tq the
Council, I would be somewhat concerned that we should have the op�nion of an
expert on the marketability of this property as commercial and capabil,ity
� of the individuais living in that area to actually sell their property with
the improvements on it for a fair price and to actually find buyers that
would be able to pay that fair price. It would not be logical to embrace a
' plan which would not be economically feasible for those owniag property at
the present time and future potential buyers.
'
Chaixman Erickson asked Mr. Chapman if he would care to co�ent now on
60th Avsnua and the land South. Mr. Chapman answered he would like to discuss
it wi.th the Planning Co�ission before going in that direction.
' Mayor Kirkham commnented that there is a question of whether vr not
marketability data is in the realm of our responsibility and before we ask for
or order such a report, we should get an opinion from the City Attorney.
��
�
�
'
Chairman Erickson said the practice of spreading a coamercial use in a
xesidential area would have�to be handled with great care because of the
majority of people itrvolved and the problem of selling. Rather than call a
brief ge�neral public heaxing, the Planning Comnission could call Mr. Schmedeke
and others if they wish, to come in and sit down with us and then call the
geaeral public in again. .
Covacilman Liebl said that he knew what the people would like, but felt
he would like to be represented by Mr. Chapman. He did not see any problem
�.n people selling their homes for commercial.
Mr. Jensen asked for a show of hands of those who thought it was logical
�or tY►e Planning Commission to be studying the area. There was a majority
wk�o thought it was worthwhile. �
Chairman Erickson informed the public that Mr. Chapman, Mr. Schmedeke
� and anyone else who wished to represent the area would be aotified of the
meeting and that the residents of the area would be notified of the public
meeting,

2. REQU�ST FOR RELEASE OF LOT 30, BLOCK 11, HYDE PARK ADDITION BY KENNETH R STR4�NTD:
' Mr. Strand explained that Council received the requeat at their meeting
of ,�anuary 6th and notified him that they would just as soon not release the
].oC until this study was completed. He tried to buy this lot ian June and
�

�'�d faund the City had pulled it off the market last March. Of course T cari
sse, he said, why you didn't want to release it now, but maybe that is in my
' faVOx, tao. I own I.ots 20 and 29. At the time of buying I have no purpoee
ot��side of cleaning it up, level it down as it is higher than my propexty
ax�d C'he children play on it. I would keep it clean and control it and add
' it ta ury yard. I have only a single garage added onto my house and I would
l�.ke po�sibly to put a garage on the lot.

The Chairman asked him if, in the light of this, he would object if the
Pl�,�ntting Commission tabled his request for a couple of months. Mr. Strand
anawered that he had no objections but would like to go on record to have
the f�rst opportunity to buy it after the study, 8s he beli�►�d ti� could
u�i.la,ze the land better than anybody.
Mx�. Strand was informed that by following the progress of the study, he
will knaw when the appropriate time is to open his request, probably when the
Plaxining Coumnission foxwards its recom�nendation to Council.
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Mittelstadt, that the Planning Co�ission
table the item of a request for the release of Lot 30, Block 11, Hyde Paxk
Addition by Kenneth R. Strand. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the �tion

R-3A. Reaffirm public hearing date of January 23, 1969.
Mr. Jensen said that this property adjoins New Brighton and wondered if we�
' should ask the adsninistration to respond with at least some data as to the
zoning across the City boundary. (A public hearing notice was mailed to the
City Clerk of New Bxighton but was not asked for a response.)

5. SUGG�S7.'ED REVISIONS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMF:NT ORDINANCE:
The Engineering Assistant explained that there are two separate �xeas of
th� Ordinance which we have found need for possible revisions and/dr additions.
We have al.so been asked if this body would consider recommending to Council
specifi.c uses in a paxticular area upon the approving of an are� zoned P.D.
We have found, and as reflected in a letter from the City Attorney, a por-
' tion of the Ordinance that isn't quite clear in respect to what happens to a
P.D. district when a plan no longer is valid due to the annual review necessary.
If upon reviewal it is found to be not practical according to the present ordin-
ance, it seems that if no plan is brought in, or the development of an approved
� plan is not consumated in one year, it would abolish the zone and revert back
to its prior zoning. We want to know if this is truly your intent.
L_J
�
'
Membership discussion on this indicated a need for`Ordinance,Amen�nent .to �:.
reflect the continuance of the zone with`- or without an approved p���;and th8��r '� `'�
an approved plan, if in existanae, should be reviewed annually un'�3:1` �its �com'r '�? �
; ;;
pletion. ' ' �;
�
The second portion we should discuss is the possibility of staging the
subtnittance of final complete plans and ii�rement development of large areas
as in the Pemtom request.
�n the discussion by the members, it was determined that in large areas
' where a development could be spread over a period of years, it would be im-
pxac�ical to expect a developer to bring in final plans for the entire area oaly
to iind that revisions would become necessary, the result of which would be very
, expensive. Many aspects were discussed and it was decided that if an overall
prelimin,ary plan indicating such things as type of buildings, road patterns and
stxeet grades were submitted for approval, the developer could bring in final
plans �r smaller portions as the plan developes. The Commission felt they would
� se� the minimum size of each stage but wanted more time to study that aspect
of i,t. They asked if the city attorney, when he rewrites the portion on develop-
ment plans, could at the same time, include a section on stage development.
,
'
�
Darrel Clark stated that he had been speaking with Pemtom representatives
' and that they were going to ask the City for some sort of indication as to our
feelings toward their specific development plan in so far as what use we would
permit to be part of the development plan. They stated they would rather have
the zoning request denied if we were not going to agree to a townhouse and
apartment complex for their area. The reason for this request is a matter of
financing and cost of having plans drawn.
After studying the motives for the request, it was decided that there was
' merit in it. However, if they were going to be asked for any sort of comai,t-
ment on use, they would want a plan presented at the P.D. hearing and would
want public discussion on it.

Dear Mr. Ankrum:
DR. JOHN K. HANSEN
SUPERINTENDENT
JAMES H. HEDREN
DIRECTOR
BUSINESS AF�AIRS
JAMES G. PAPPAS
DIRECTOR
ELEMENTANY EDVChTION
Please advise the Fridley City Council that the Board of Education of
District 14 at its regular January meeting unanimously passed the
following resolution:
Resolved that the City of Fridley is requested to conetruct sidewalks
along the East River Road to provide a safe walking access to the Steven-
son and Riverwood Elementary Schools. It is also requested that a
flashing school crossing signa,l be installed at a echool crossing near
the Stevenson School.
The most critical need and the greatest saving can be achieved by
the construction of sidewalka on both sides of the street from Stevenaon
School north to Mississippi St-�et. Our annual cost for transporting
children from thie area is approximately �5, 000. ,
'Sidewalks from Rice Creek to Glen Creek would reault in a aavinge of
about $2, 500 since some of the children using them are already re-
quired to walk to Riverwood School. They would, however, provide
a safer and more convenient accese to the school.
Cordially yours,
w-�..v�-� �
Ja''mea H. Hedren
Director of Buainess Affairs

', P.S. Signals would be necessary to accrue the $5,000 sav�gs indicated above

I Wish to confinn n� verbal atand giv�en Monday evening January 13, 1969
as being against the proposed storn sewer project No. 80.
I feel �i the propoaed pmject is recom�endrd, it vould be unfair,
unjust and discriainatory in coet tc: people oi 1rMdl�y in tr� propos�d area.
Our area has never had a storm sewer problea end xould not receiv�e
ar�q benefits for the cost imrested by each fa�i],q.
I can not see hav any councilaian could recwunend snnch a project----
if t�is project is accepted as reconm►ended---I KN(7�1 nqr opposition vill
be reflected in the next general elec+.ion for coundlmsn as a vote for
your opponent.
