FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY PINK- OTTER SLIDES, INCORPORATED, NEW BRIQiTON, MINNESOTA): The City Enganeer said that the Buildinq Standards - Design Control had made some stipulations and he said that he £elt that there should be provided some plantings on the south side also. He said that this is proposed to be on the south side of their buzlding, to be 30' high, and made o£ galvanized steel. Mr, James Woodington of Pink-Otter Slides was psesent and said that the Building Board had asked them to have the windloading, due to screening, checked by their Engineer. He said that the , understructure is black, so that a,t blends in with the asphalt and really is not apparent. He said that their Engineer did check this and it was his opinion that adding the screening would greatly increase the lateral wind force and wou].d make it un- stable. He said that it would be well supervised, and open during REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 18, 1968 PAGE 12 � store hours. He said that the slide is 143' from top to bottom. The City Engineer suggested putting up an independent screening which would not be attaChed. Mr. Keith Holvenstot o£ Erickson Petroleum Corp. said that k�e did not feel that the understructure is unsightly and that asking for the screening wauld prove quite expensive, as it would be no small item. Mr. Woodington added that he went by there today on I. 694 and the level o£ view is slightly down, so the understructure would not be seen from the road. He said that the slide will run east and west, and would be seen principally from the east. Mayor Kirkham commented that i£ Holiday is willing to put the slide between the road and their building without screening, it was his feeling that the screening would not be required. He said that the west line oP the slide would be in line with the west line of the building. He said that he did not see the need for the two provisions recommended by the Building Board. � Mr. Woodington commented that if approved, they plan to start right away and it will be completed in 10 - 14 days.

He said that the requirement o£ the fence, he felt, was arba.trary, as a 3' high fence would cost about $700 - $800. The City Attorney said that he would like to speak as an ad- ,7oining property owner, rather than as the City Attorney. He said that from his standpoint, he da.d not £eel he wants this fence between the shopping center and his property, as he did not feel that the chain link fence would add anything to the appearance of the area, He said that he would-much rather have Mr. Novak's word that he would keep the litter cleaned up and agree to sod that area next spring. The City Manager said that we have a letter from the Highway Department indicating they want the signs down and that the City Engineer has sent out letters to all the tenants con- cerning their signs that are on the highway right of way, and that they must come down. Mr. Novak said that he has also notified them of this. Mr. Novak said that there was a possibility that he may be adding onto the north end of the center next spring, as he has some possible tenants,and if so, this would take care of the problem. 2£ not, he said that he would agree to sod in the spring. He said that he also has plans for cleaning up the area behind his property along the driveway. He said that he is installing a sprinkling system right naa.

He said that we have no authority to refuse this permZt, as the zoning is the same, and the ordinance is the same. � The City Attorney suggested approaching the company to see if they would consider reducing the size to 10' x 32', as 16' x 40' is really an unreasonable si2e.

He said that the State Highway Commissioner is responsible L-or reducing the speed on County State Aid Roads. He said that � it would seem that there is a lack oP communication between the City and the County. He said that sometimes he is caught in a conflict of interests between the City and County. He said that the County has hired a study to be made on East River Road and the possibility that an underpass may possibly be needed. He eacplained that the County has always operated on a cash basis for the improvene nt of their roads, as they cannot be assessed, but that they are now trying a program whereby the County is bonded when putting in the roads, In this way improvements can be made iaster,and the people using the roads will be the ones paying for them. He said that when additional right of way for East River Raad for a median s�rip is to be acquired, it will be very expensive. He said that there is work that is badly needed in Coon Rapids also. He said that he was very sorry that he cannot attent more of the Council Meetings, and offered to send the City copies af their Minutes as they receive ours. He pointed out that Thursday, November 21, 1968, 9:00 A.M, there is a Road and Bridge Meeting. The City Manager said that the City was not insinuating that ti2e Caunty was doing nothing for us, but that the stress was prim- arily to get the speed reduced on East River Road £irst, and the � Engineering studies done later. Mr. Peterson said that there are five County Commissioners, and Roy Johnson from Coon Rapids was not particularily interested in seeing the speed reduced on East River Road. He commented REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NWEMBER 18, 1968 PAGE 18 � that there are many other problems the County has, such as on the University Extension, there is a school an one szde, and children on the other. An overhead bridge is being contemplated, but who is responsible, school, County, or the Municipality. Mr. Richard Harris said thank you to Mr. Peterson and the Council for considerxng this, and asked if there was any time table he could give for�the speed reduction. Mr. Peterson said that the County is just going into a five year program with the bonding plan, and this is something new, and he did not know how it would work. Mr. Harris asked about Federal Aid. Mr. Peterson said that they were working on that. Mr. Harris asked what would help the most in getting some actzon on the reduction oi speed on East River Road. Mr. Peterson said that personal letters to the State Highway Commissioner would be the most help, not petitions, but hand written lettexs. MOTION by Councilman Lieb1 to authorize the Administration to send the draft letter to the Anoka County Commissioners and to receive the letter from the State Highway Commissioner dated � November 4, 1968. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.

They studied the problem and came up with a com- plete storm sewer system, which would run parallel to the NSSSD line, and run to the ditch. He pointed out that the City still has to acquxre some property from them. He asked if the Council wished to authorize the County running this line through, MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to concur with the Anoka County request to run storm sewer through Loc]:e Park.

VISITORS: JOHN DUNPHY (Parks and Recreation Commission) Mr. John Dunphy of the Parks and Recreation Commission was present to speak concernYng a memorandum the Parks Director had received irom the City Engineer about the drilling of well sites and the possibility of buildiny a dual-type building £or pump house and park purposes. He sazd that the Commission did not know that drilling on park land was anticipated. He said that the Com- misszon is greatly interested in the park land and they were not advised, and felt that they should have been notitied of the possibility of losing mo�e park land. He said that maybe the dual-type building would benefit both the water system and the park department, but he Felt that the Commission should be con- ferred with, as it does have a Planning Consultant and it would � be possible that the location would not fit into the plan� the Commission and Consultant have for a particular piece of ground. He said that he was concerned that Comstock and Davis chose so many sites �or drilling on Locke Park ana East Moore Lake Park and wondered if they had the right to drill on park property. He also wondered if these sites were chosen because the park land would be free. He said that over the last 10 years there has been considerable nibbling away of park land by the develop- ment of the water system, which amounts to about 68,772 square ieet or 1.57 acres. This does not include any loss in acreage to street systems. He said that he was appearing tonight to make the Council aware of how the Commission feels and to request better communication and to work more closely together in the future, where park land is concerned. Mayor Kirkham told Mr. Dunphy that the Council will try to work together with the Parks and Recreation Commission. He pointed out that Comstock and Davis' report was made strictly from an Engineering standpoint.
