CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCES REQUESTED BY MAX SALITERMAN (Tabled 6-17-68): Councilman Sheridan said that he had talked to Wyman Smith and it was Councilman Sheridan's feeling that the setback requirements from the service road should be adhered to. This is in our Ordinances and should be in conformance He felt that the Council must also insist on the ' sidewalks as we have requested this of others. However, he felt that the setback from Rice Creek Road from 80' to 35' could be grarrted if he would agree to the setback from the service road and the sidewalks. �, �-� � ,r' �9 REGULAR GOUNCIL MEETING July 1, 1968 Page 3 � Councilman Liebl asked �ust what type of restaurant Mr Saliterman intended building. Mr. James Casserly, representing Mr. Saliterman, showed him a 6rochure covering the Sandy's Restaurant and explained that there are now over 100 of these restaurants throughout the country now. It will seat approximately 100 people. Mr. Casserly said that it would be about the same as the one in St. Anthony and thaY one has been a61e to draw a good quality of people to the restaurant. Mayor Kirkham said that the City's Ordinances are set and to allow this would be an infringement on other property owners. James Casserly explained that Mr. Saliterman Feels that this restaurant would supply a necessary drawing card, as the shopping center does not do the business it should. He further explained that Mr. Saliterman would rather not divulge his plans for the south portion of his land. Councilman Liebl asked Mr. Casserly if Mr, Saliterman is sure that he has all the parking places he would need. Mr. Casserly replied that if more are ever needed, Mr. Saliterman would be the first to admit it and would be anxious to provide them, Councilman Liebl then asked if there was enough room for operation. Councilman Samuelson said that he thought so. He felt that �t would stand to reason that shoppers would utilize the closestpossible parking space so they would not have to walk so far, and in this way, the restaurant � would be compatible with the shopping center. However, he said that his reason for being against this was that it seems that when you have a complex such as a restaurant or filling station out in front of a shopping center it has a tendency to degrade the overall usage and appearance. He felt that 35' was awfully close. Councilman Sheridan pointed out that at the last meeting, Mr. Smith had said that he could not live with an 80' setback Councilman Samuelson agreed and said that that would put him out in the middle of the parking lot, however even in a residential area less than 35' is not allowed. Carl Paulson asked if this was in any way a drive-in type restaurant. Mayor Kirkham informed him that it is a sit-down type of restaurant and there would be no curb service. Mr. Casserly added that it might be comparable to Embers. Mayor Kirkham pointed out that we, this Council, has been forcing other developers to adhere to the setback reqw rements. Councilman Sheridan agreed with Councilman Samuelson's comment about the setback requirements in residential areas and that perhaps a 35` setback would be better. This would give a better view when driving off the service road. Councilman Samuelso� agreed that 35' would be better than the 25' requested, Councilman Liebl felt that the 35' Waiver should be granted to meet the standard set in residential areas and that to still require the 80' setback � would be a hardship. With this amount of land, a developer should be able to use it properly. Mayor Kirkham pointed out that Mr. Saliterman was aware of the setback requirements when he built the original shopping center, but now he comes to the Council requesting variances. Mr. Casserly answered that Mr. Saliterman did not foresee the possi6ility of a restaurant in this area .' ° � r REGULAR COUNCIL MEET WG July l, 1g68 Page 4 at that time, and that it is Mr. Saliterman's feeling that this restaurant would be an asset to the City of Fridley. Councilman Liebl pointed out that Mr. Saliterman did dedicate Rice Creek Road to the City and has been assessed heavily for it. This is a valuable piece of property and inasmuch as he is a tax payer also, should receive at least some compromise. The sidewalks are a must but the 35' set6ack would be a good compromise he felt. MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to grant a setback waiver on Rice Creek Road from 80' to 35' for the construction of a Sandy's Restaurant requested by Max Saliterman. Seconded 6y Councilman Liebl. Upon a roll call vote, Liebl and Sheridan voting aye, and Kirkham and Samuelson voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion FAILED, LUCIA LANE REPORT: The City Manager explained that this report was prepared by him, and he has the concurrence of the City Engineer and the Chief of Police. The Council added that they agreed also, MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the memorandum from the City Manager, concur, and authorize the Administration to send the prepared letter to the State Highway Commissioner, Mr. N. T. Waldor, requesting the reduction in speed limits on T.H. #65 between Mississippi Street a�d Osborn a. Seco�ded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. SETTING DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARIN s VACATION REQUEST (SAV #68-03) HENRY G, SAFFERT: Councilman Samuelson asked if this was going to be a time consuming Public Hearing as August 12th is the Air Pollution Hearing. The City Engineer replied that this was �ust a formality and should not take over 5 mi�utes. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to call a Public Hearing on August 12, 1968 for the hearing on the vacation request by Henry Saffert (SAV #�68-03) Seconded by Councilman Sheridan,„ Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. SCUSSIDN OF PRESENT PARK FACILITIES: Councilman Liebl said that he had received many phone calls and letters in regard to the present parks, and also, he felt that the general impression of the people who contacted him was that the parks are not adequately maintained now, so how can they vote for additional parks without knowing exactly what the money is to be used for. He said that therefore, he would like to present the following five questions for Council consideration; "point I- We, the Council, have to implement and advocate a far better Maintenance Program for our "Present Parks" (over the past years our Parks did not receive the maintenance �ob they need and consequently they looked unsightly). Point II - We, the Council, have to install and provide the money in the future "Park Budget" to give our Park Director the necessary ways and means to comply with the wishes of the People of Fridley. � ' 1 ���� REGULAR CDUNCIL MEETING July l, 1968 Page 5 ' Point III - The Park Department should start a riqid schedule in regard to "Spraying and Fertilizing and regular systematically cutting of all the parks" in our City. Point IV - I urge the Council to adopt a Policy which will assure the park director permanent help m regard to "manpower". (In the off season these men can be used in other Departments). Point V- Provide through wise and planned budgeting the necessary equipment for the Parks Department. It is my opinion that if We as the Council give that type of leadership and provide the Parks Department with the Manpower and Equipment and then consistently and diliqently enforce to the point a planned - rigid Maintenance Program, the People of Fridley will see the results, and I am convinced will then and only then be incli�ed to reconsider a Park Bond Program in the future!" He said that he felt that if this Council could give the citizens this, then maybe the people could see some concrete results and would be more willing to vote "yes" on a future park bond issue. Councilman Liebl then asked for comments and opinions. The City Manager said that over the course of time, the City could improve the parks, and that some additional man power would probably 6e needed 6y either the Parks Department or the Public Works Department, and could be � utilized in much the same way as the street crew is now. In the summer they grade etc. and in the winter time there is the snow removal, much the same arrangement could be used by the Park Department. Carl Paulson asked about the procedure used forsummerpart-time help and if it was not true that students were used. Mayor Kirkham replied that this Ss done. Councilman Liebl questioned whether the money was distributed evenly between the wards in the last bond issue election. He said that he felt that the voters must be given exact areas and figures for any future bond issue. He felt that if the Park Department had more full time men, the people would see that the City really cares, and would be more favorably inclined toward spending more of their tax dollars and that the people that he talked to indicated that they really were not too interested in the other communities using our facilities, such as 6a11 games etc., but that they wanted to use the Parks themselves. He said that he hoped that this would not be construed as a complaint, but as constructive criticism. Carl Paulson said that people have told him that they felt that this was an excessive amount of money to give the Park and Recreation Department. Mayor Kirkham said that he was sure that the people respons�6le for drawing up the Park Bond Issue tried very hardto be fair in the distribution of money , between the three wards. He said that he could appreciate the foresight used by the City of Minneapolis' forefathers in financing land when available for future parks. He said that he felt that the Park Commission was trying to give the people an opportunity to develop a park system before the 1and becomes more scarce, but that it was a matter of free choice. The City has some land �?�� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING July l, 1968 Page 6 set aside now, which must remain undeveloped due to lack of funds. Mr. Schmedeke said that he had seen a map showing where the parks were gorng to be and it seemed that the First Ward has about 18, whereas the second and third had less, about 8, and suggested that this possibly was the r�ason the election failed. Mayor Kirkham explained to him that in areas where the land is already developed, the land is extremely expensive. Councilman Samuelson agreed and said that he believed that the money distribution was fairly well balanced between,the three wards. COUNCIL APPROVAL OF RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AT THE SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER 1968 ELECTIONS: Councilman Liebl said that he would like to be sure that both the Democratic and Republican Officers have been made fully aware of this. Mayor Kirkham pointed out to Councilm�n Liebl that the City Clerk conducts a school prior to election time. Counciiman Sheridan said that if there was anything that needed correcting, this could be done prior to voti�g time, and that this also needs the approval of the Attorney General. The City Attorney agreed and elaborated that first it must receive Council approval, then the Attorney General's approval. MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to approve the check list of Rules and Instructions as set forth by the City Clerk and submit to the Attorney General for his approval. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. COUNCIL APPROVAL OF NEW VOLUNTEER FIREMEN: Councilman Sheridan read the names of the Volunteer Firemen now before the Council for approval.

Mr, James Solveson said that after the original plans were reviewed, many flaws were realized.
