CON5TDERATION OF GRAT)ES AND STRSET LAYOUTS FOR AUDSTOR'S SUB- DIVISI0I�T +r22 IN REGARD TO MOVING A RESIDENCE DWELLING. {REQUESTED BY LES CHIES - BUILDING STANDARDS - DESIGN CONTRdL MINIITES OF 11-27-68) � The City Engineer explained that Page 25 of the Agenda shows the road pattern established by the Planning Commissa.on and the Council. This house would sit between two exiscing hames, and he ielt that it would iit Yn all right. He said -�hat there as 115' setback on the north and 84' setback on the south side irom Rice Creek Road. He eacplained 'chat there is a possibility that � L-here would be a cul-de-sac behind this property which would leave L-his back lot substandard. He said that the question is whether the Council would wash to extend the house about 6` closer to Rice Creek Road and maY.e the setback abouL- 78' as this would put �his house at about the same se�back as the home on the east. He said that the Building Board had approved of this request sub- �ect L-o Mr, Chies pos�ing a performance bond for completion by July 1, 1969, and sub�ect �o Engineering approval o£ the street layout pattern. He said that Mr. Chies is planning an expansion by adding a double garage on L-he west side. With the expansion, the side yard setback would be about 10' f-rom the property line. Councilman Liebl asked Mr, Chies if he is also intending to re- rnodel. Mr. Chies said that he plans on using rough cedar and brick. Councilman Liebl asked if there would be a full basement. Mr. Chies said yes and also a basement under the garage. He said that he had checked with the neighbors and his plans are accepf.- able to them. The City Engineer suggested that approval could be made sub�eci to concurrence of the neighbors.,He added that the houses on Race Creek Raad are sat quiL-e far back. Councilman Sheridan said that he thought the house on the east would � be aboui the same elevation, but would the one on the west be higher? Mr. Chies said that there is very little change in ele- va�ion, anly about 3'. Councilman Sheridan said that ttn Building SLandards - Design Control had recommended approval subject to postinq a completion bond, and asked Mr. Chies if he could have it � � � REGULAR COUNCIL ME:ETING OF DECEMBER 16, 1968 PAGE 3 done by July 1, 1969. Mr. Chie5 replied that the Building goard had set the date as July 1, 1969, but that about a month has already go�e by, however, he thought he could have it done by July lst. MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to grant the permit sub�ect to Mr. Chies getting concurrence o£ the abutting property owners, posting a campletion bond of $4,50U, with completion to be by July 1, 1969, and the house to be loca�ed on Lot 10, Auditor's Subdivision #22 as shown on Page 26 of the December 16, 1968 Council Agenda, with a setback from Rice Creelc Road limited to between 75" and 78'. Seconded by Councalman Samuelson. Mr. Chies said that he has title to the property now, and will have clear trtle when the house is moved. The City Engineer poini.ed out that for future developmenL- oi �he lot behind the house, platting will be necessary. He suggested that the set- back of about 6' could be ad,7usted at a later date. Councilman Sheridan said that he would rather have aL- spelled out in a motion so as not to put this man at the mercy of the other pro- perty owners. THE MOTiON WAS AMENDED with the agreement of the seconder that the addition for expansion and up-grading the building will be sub- �ect to Engineering review. COUNCILMAN F]AitRIS ARRIVED AT 8:30 P.M.

FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR REZONING {ZOA #�68-12) ROBERT SQiROER, BOB'S PRODUCE RFINCE AT 7620 UNIV�RSITY AVENUS N.E, FROM M-2 TO C-2-S• Mayoz Kirkham said that this matter has gone �hrough Planning Commission, and is now ready for Council action, Councilman Sheridan commented that he had not seen the P4inutes ot the December 9th Public Hearing Meeting but recalled that everyone present seemed to be in favor. Mayor Kirkham agreed, Councilman Laeb1 said that at the Public Hearing Meeting he had voL-ed agains� this as he felt thai. a£ull Council should be }�resent. He said that he would li7ce to see the plans to see what Mr, 5chroer is �lanning to put in there. The City Engzneer said that Mr. Schroer did submit tentati�e plans to the Planning Commission showing his a.ntentions. Councilman Liebl said that L-hese plans only show the � ^� / � � I REGtiLAR COUNCIL MEETING OP DECEMBER 16, 1968 PAGE 4 south portion, which is only about 2Z acres, and he is requesting � a rezoning on about 9 acres. In the past we have required appli- cancs to show =u11 plans. Mr. Peter Lindberg, representing Mr. Schroer, said that they did not have tull plans av�ilabie yet. He explained that the Planning Commissaon requested a change in the street layout providing for loopbacks at the narth and sauth ends, to which they have agreed, By doing sa, they had to move the building back. Iie said that Mr. Schroer wants t� put in his shopping cenier in three parts, the construction to be a western motif something like Holly Center. lhere would then be some other shops in there. He said that they wz11 have :nore complete plans later to shcnv what will be gaing in beiore the second reading of the L�rdinance. He said that they have to have some indication tha� the land will be rezoned before they can go ahead wa.th their plans. Councilman Liebl asked lf rezoned Erom M-2, would this be considered strip zoning. He felt that this would destroy the whole area for M-2. Mr. La.ndberg said that at this time they are in the process � of negotiating for an induscrial development behYnd this strip. He said that �.hey were not at liberty to divulge what these plans were at this time. Councilman Liebl said that this was a very nice piece of industra.al property along university Avenue and someone cauld put in a very iarge industrial piant. If this rezoning goes through, this would prevent this £rom ever beinq done. He said that in the past the Council has shied away from splitting up portions oP land by rezonings, and that he felt that a degree of consistancy must be maintained, If the Council alZows this here, why not in other places. Mr. LindUerg pointed out that the peat is very deep in thzs area and there may be some problems with heavy industrial buildings going in there. Councilman Liebl asked, from a developer's standpoint, if they felt that they were utilizing the land in the best interests of the City and also in thear best interests. Mr. Lind- berg said that there will be �obs available to the Citizens of the City of Fridley, and the taxes derived will benefit the City. He pointed out that commercial development of the land allaws intense use of the land as opposed to heavy industrial, where there is a large amount of parking space required. Mayor Kirkham pointed aut that a£ an investor is willzng to develap 40 acres or more, this is his decision, not the Council's. He said that as the Planning Commission has recommended approval and the abutting � property owners have spoken in favor of the project, this would kre putting it to it's best use. Councilman Harris added that he £elt that Lhis would be very compatilale wath the area south of osborne Raad, wherean the frontage land is zoned for commercial, and the back po�tion which has access to the railraad tracks is industrial. � 6._.1 REGIILAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 16, 1968 PAGE 5 He said that this could be made into a hub o� commerce at this intersection. Councilman Samuelson said that by putting the cost on a per acre basis, a shopping center ot this type does exceed that of an industrial area. Councilman Liebl said L-haL- he realized this, but would like to see the balance of the plans. Once this M-2 District is broken up, there cannot be any big lndustrial plants. Mr. Lindberg said that one of the problems they had encountered with their speculative plans for the M-2 area is thac there is no direct access to the railroad tracks. He said 'chat we have a situ- ation here, wherein Mr. Schroer has been a businessman in the City of Fridley for about 10 years and would continue to do so, but his present location on East River Road is too small ior his plans. Councilman Sheridan said that he assumed that they had an option on the land, Mr. Lindberg said yes, and that they held an option on the acreage to the west also. He said that Mr. Schroer is running out of time as he has to have his present building removed by the first of the year. Councilman Sheridan suggested a step type o= arrangement in case Mr. Schroer cannot meet the 6 months time limit. If broken down into two or three steps it could progress e�en though he may not have the total plans available at once. Then, if he does not meeL- the time limit, the re zoning on that portion would not go through. �rha.s would require amendmenr.s to the ordinance read tonight, for second reading, when the completed plans are available. Councilman Harris asked how much total iront iootage is involved. Mr. Lindberg said about 15�0'. He said that they coulcl have iinal plans for about 100U' within 6 months. Councilman Sheridan asked it this would have to be platted. Mr. Lindberg said that he thought so. Councilman Sheridan said that it was not a question of whether the Council approved or disapproved, buL rather whether the zoning in this area should change from M-2 to C-2-S. He said that the reason he aaked about the option on the land was the possibility of step zoning. Councilman Sheridan asked if there was 'Phe Cicy Engineer said that Spring Lake � over at 79th Avenue and had made it at it this rezoning goes through, he felt Department will consider a crossover at Sheridan asked if there would only be a and egress at osborne Road. The City E sure about that. He said that these ar resolved. He said that there should b established. an access on %9th Avenue. Park did not want a cross- 81st Avenue. He said that thac the State Highway 79th also. Councilman n ingress at 79th Avenue ngineer said that he was nat e things that have to be e some definite road paLterns �r �� ti REGULIIR COUNCIL MSETING OF DECEMBER 16,1968 PAGE 6 Councilman Samuelson asked what would happen if this was talaled � Por Purther study. Mr. Lindberg said that they would lose their option on �he land. Mayor Kirkham asked a.= the Counczl does this all at once, will Mr. Schroer be able to compZete his plans. Mr. Lindberg said that Mr. Schraer was not sure i= he could get all his plans through all the subcommittees necessary within the six months time limzt. Councilman Sheridan said that this is the Council policy, and that he did not want to cause a detriment to his plans. Mr. Lindberg asked if the plans were completed for the south half and they were ready for a building permit on the south half, but not che north hal£, then what would happen with the rezoning, Council- man Sheridan said thaL in that case the rezoning on the north half would noc go through. Mr. James Gibbs Turther explained that if there was rezoning step by step, the plans would be approved, building permit approved, and the second reading of the Ordinanca also done step by step. The City Manager said that this first reading wauld staid, then later the second reading of the Ordinance would be amended to only include that portion on which the plans are compiete. Mr. Lindberg said that he wn uld be willing to split ihe land in half as they could meeL these requirements. Council- � man Sheridan said that then the building permit would be approved and the second reading of the ordinance would be held at the same time. Councilman Liebl said that if the plans are approved on the south portion, the Council would still have no assurance o£ what wa�s going in on the north portion. Mr. Gibbs said that there wauld be no rezona.ny, if the plans were not approved, as the second reading aF the Ordinance would noL be held. Councilman Samuelson pointed out th at the Council is putting the burden on the investor. Council- man Liebl said that he felc that the Council must look ahead, as this will be here if ap�roved for the next 40 years or more.
