PUBLIC HEARiNG• STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJ�CT s�r. 1969-1:
Mayor Kirkham read the Public Hearing notice to the audience.
The City Engineer explained that most of these streets have been

S�EC�AL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF DECEN�ER 9, 1968
(COLT�CIi,MAN HARRIS ARRIVED AT 8:10 P.M.)
PAGE 2 �
Mr. Charles Berget, 6855 Washington Street N.S. asked haw far
the improvement would go. Mayor Kirkham explained to him that
it will go only to the existing blacktopping and curbing, and
that he was included in the mailing list as they would rathe=
i,n�lude too many than leave someone out. The City Engineer
added that if there were no benefits derived, there would be
no assessment.
Seventh Street: 68th Avenue to 480 Feet North
The City Engineer said that the reason the whole street is nat
incl�ded is that the portion north of this area needs atorm
�sew�r, and it would be too costly to put down a permanent street,
then hav� to tear it up later. He said that the Council had
directed him to only include in th is Public Hearing the streets
�h�t could be improved without additional storm sewer.
Mr. R�.c�ard Kemper, 6736 7th Street N.E. said that he under�toad
that tiiia was for a11 of 68th Avenue and 7th Street. Mayor
�Cirkh�a said no, that they did not want to put in permanent
streets over areas that need additional storm sewer work. Mr.
Kemper asked where the water would drain. The City Engirieer
said that it drains to the Riedel property, and that th�
�xisting storm sewer is undersized. Mr. Kemper then asked if
the problem with the storm sewer is to prevent draining intQ the
Riedel property. The City Engineer said that this is part of
the problem. He said that no one knvws haw this land will
develop. I�e explained that the awner of this land has died
and the land is in probate. Mr. Kemper said that he did not
want to wait another five years. The City Engineer said that
there are other streets in th is area which need improvirig once
the problem with the storm s�wer is resolved. Mr. Kemper said
that he has lived on Seventh Street for 10 years �nd would like
to $ee the street improved. Another visitor to the Meeting said
that he lives on the corner of Rice Creek Terrace and 68th Avenue
and would like to see this whole area improved. Mayor Kirkhain
explained that the water would have to go to the Riedel property,
and tYie storm sewer cannot be forced until the development of
this property is resolved. A visitor to the Meeting asked haw
deep the storm se�wer is under Mississippi Street. The City
Engineer said about 15' but that it is not hooked up to any system.
Mayor Kirkham said that that was put in by the County when they
improved Mississippi Street so that the street would not have to
be torn up later, and was paid for by the County. Councilman
Harris added that there is an existing pipe which drains the

A visitor to the Meetii�g asked haw this storm sewer improvement
wauld be paid for. Mayor Kirkham said that State Statutes state
that only lands bene�itti�g can be assessed. Councilman Harris
added that this is a very �arge drainage district and takes in
Christie Addition, and the assessment would be spread over ttiem
�lso. He explained that every parcel of land is included in
one drainage district or another, and none would be excluded.
The distr�.cts are divided by the natural drainage of the water
upon the 1and. Mr. Kemper said that it would seem to him that
it would be to their advantage to get it in as soon as possible.
Mayor Kirkham said that previously th� people were aqainst this.
There is always the problem with storm se�wer assessments that
the people on the h igh ground do not want the improvement, a�n�d
�ind it hard to understand that they are a part oE a drainaqe
district.
�ouncilman�Harris said that there were three possibilities open
� to the Council. One was to put in small storm sewer pipes and
use the Riedel property as a retainage basin, another would be
to put in larger and deeper pipes and use a smaller retainage
� basin on the Riedel property, and the third would be to have
no ponding on the Riedel property at all and drain directly
�to the creek. He said that the Council is still considering
� purchasing the Riedel property to use as a ponding area. Z'he
problem with using the property as a ponding area is that it is
in a very good location,and could be developed to a higher use.
� He said that if the people feel that they want the storm sewer,
the Council will be glad to hold another Public Hearir}g. He
explained that the reason fnr r.he 10 year street improvem�ent
� project that will come up �_.�r in the evening, is to make the
people aware that the improvements will be coming, and that the
cost rises every year.
�
�
��
Mr. Kemper said that he lives on the street that is not to be
improved nvw, and realized that the costs will be going higher
and wondered if the pipes could not be laid at the time of
construction the same as was donE with Mississippi Street,
then hooked up later, Mayor Kirkham said that this could be
�ane but brings about problems in assessments as there would nat

be amy imntediate benefit. A visitor to the Meeting asked if
there had to be 51/ on any petition. The Mayor said that the
Council has the right to order in any improvement, with or
v�ithout a petition. The visitor said that it seems then that
�i�inqs are at an impasse unless the Council decides to ga ahead
with the �torm sewer project. Mayor Kirkham said that if there
a.s the sa�me interest shawn at a subsequent hearing as shawr�
tc�ay, the Council probably would go ahead.
Mr. Kemper said that he was not in favor of the storm sewer, but
he wanted the str�et put in. Councilman Harris said that he would
lik� to see another Public Hearing held. Mayor Kirkham addod
t,ha� it still would not be too late to add it to the 1969
project, The City Engineer agreed and said that the construction
costs are going up much faster than the cost of living.
Counci].man Harris explained that if the Riedel property owners
�hou�,d decide to develop their land, they would have to first
raise� the grade, and this would result in these people gettir�g
water on the streets.
MA'�TON by Councilman Harris to authorize calling the Public
Hear�.ng on January 13, 1969 for the streets and utilities for
the area shawn in crosshatching on the map, which are a portion
of 68th Avenue and a portion of 7th Street, and bring the
necessary resolutions back at the next Council Meeting for
reaifirmation by the Council. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson.

Counci�,man Liabl asked what the total figures are for th• thros
atorm se�wer proposals. The City Engin��r said that they range
�rom $155,000 to $236,000. Mr. Kemper asked hvw many square
taet ir� the drainage district. The City Engineer said that he
did not have the iigures, but that the total area and cost psr
100 square foot will be computed by the Finance Director for
the Publ,ic Hearing January 13th, and he could coaae in around
the �irst of the year and obtsin this infornration from his
office. Councilman Liebl added that it would probably be
between $3.00 to $5.00 per 100 square foot and that it would
be useless to put in a new street without the storm se�wer, as
the street would not last.
Fourth Street; 67th Avenue to Rice Creek Terrace
The City Engineer said that this street was also petitioned for.
A visitor to the Meeting asked if there was any storm sewer
�eeded. The City Engineer said that all utilities are in the
ground now. He added that there may be an additional assessment
later if the large storm sewer district is determined. He
added that the asseasment could be spread over 10 years.
Rice Creek Terrace: Hiqhwav #47 Service Road to 68th Ave.
The City Engineer said that this street was also petitioned for.
He said that it is a swale street naw, and would be 36' back to
back with concrete curbing, 4" base and l�" mat on top. A
vi,�itor to the Meeting asked haw much the front foot assessn�nt
would be. The City Engineer said $10.01, and that yenerally the
estimates are too high rather than too low. He explained that
SPFCIAL PU$LIC H'.�,RING �1.�;ETING OF D�.C�� EF 9, ].968 PAGE 6 �
th� ��et fxgures wou].d not be i�nawn until the coinp�etion of the
p�c�����. H� said that his department liked to let bids early
�.n t.h� �pr �ng so that the b idd iny pz ice would be better . A
visi�.rar as7ced haw many bids were usually received. The City
Eng�,neer said that it is published in the paper a�d his depart-
men�t ��nds Qut invitations to the bidders also. He said c�ener-
a�ly there are five or six bidders.
A visitor to the Meeting asked why 67th Avenue was designate�� a::
a State Aid StreeL as it is in the middle of a residential
area. Mayor Kirkham said that he did no� knaw, but that at one
time a.t was a ma.in artery. The City Engineer said that the
pe�p�e la,vira�g on 6'!th Avenue are stil� assessed for a residential
stree� and that the State Aid funds pay the difference between
a 36' s�,reet and a 40' scree`, and that it is a heavy duty street.
He sa�d that one of the requirements was that the street had to
Gonn�Ct �wo main streets or hiqhways. It was designated in 1961.
Coun�i.],man Liebl asked haw many times State Aid funds have been
uspd or� 67th Avenue. The City Engineer replied once. Mr. Kemper
�sk�d k►aw they are designated. Mayor ICirkham said th�t the�
are desa.gnated by Council. He explained that the City is al�.awed
so m�ny miles and the Coun�il makes a designation so that the
City can get a11 the tunds to wh ich they are entitled. The

A visitor to t�he Meeting asked about assessing on a corner lot,
and on a 1ot that follaws the curve of the street. Mayor Kirkhatm
said that the short side is taken as the front footage, the
side yard is 1/3, and the rest is picked up � of the way down the
block. A visitor asked what about a pie shaped lot. The
Finance Director said that in this case the width of the lot at
the setback is used. A visitor asked haw much_difference it
would make in taxes. The Assessor said that based on an 80'
�,o�, �.t would be about $13.20.

�'he C�.�y Engineer said that the reason this was included in the �
Heaarl�nc� was that the service road is being used to gain entrance
to � garage, and it was felt that the azrt would wash onto the
��w streets. He said that the assessments were quite high, as
�.'�� �wo �.ots have improvement frontage on both sides. �

SPEC�AL PUBLIC HF:ARZNG MEETING �F DECEN�ER 9, 1968 PAGE 7
Councilman Samuelson said that a vacation of this area was
tried 2 or 3 years ago. Mr. Charles Swanson, 312 Rice Creek
Terrace, said that he is paying for two sides already, and
suggested ending Rice Creek Terrace in a cul-de-sac. Mx.
John Baune, 6760 Fourth Street N.E. also objected to this, axxl
commented tha� the State should have given the service road
ba�k when T. H. #47 was improved. Councilman Liebl commented
that this case points out that the Council has to make the
decisiqn wh�ch is the Fairest and to the best advantage.
Coune�lman Samuelson said that the choice is a 12' wide street
or a cui-de-sac at Rice Creek Terrace.
Mip�l'ZON by Councilman Samuelson �o delete the Highway #47 East
Service Road trom Rice Creek Terrace to 30G Feet South from the
project. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vate, all
voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
Mr. Charles Swanson said that there should be a barrier put up
at the entrance to prevent cars from coming dawn. He said that
there is one naw, but cars just drive around it.
62nd Wav: Riverview Terrace to East River Road:
Tha C�.ty Enq�n��r sa�.d th��k thi� stre�t is gone and is one of
the str.ata adc�ed t�� �:h� hearit�q b� ti�e Aelmina��tra�ior�. A
vi�itoz to tho Meetiz�q eaid that he livea on �he eorna� of
62nd Way and Riverview T�rrace, and at the �ima that Riverviaw
Terrace wag improved, he had wan�ed to havc� 62nd Way improved.
Mr. Fuqene Gohman, 151 62nd Way said that he was in favor of
the improvement. Mr. William White said that he was also in
favox of this proposal.
Councilman Liebl said that th is street would be 36' w ide and
would cost approximately $12.11 per front foot. He pointed out
that before there were no utilities in the street and the lots
were not built up as they are nvw.
Mr. Richard Harris asked what the assessments would be on Lot
2, Block 2 Juli-Ann Addition. '1'he Assessor told him. Mr.
Hax'ris eaid that in the winter the water pipes break and asked
what was qoing to be done about this. �i'he City Engineer said
tha�. the water services have been lawered, and if there are any
mor� ti�at need lawering, th is will be done before the improve-
ment goes in. Mr. Harris said that he could not see why the
property awners should have to pay for the lawering of the
services. The City Engineer said that the pipes were laid in
�.961.

�
M�'. Harr�.s said that there was a vaeant lot on 62nd Way ar�d a�ked
i� fihis could be stubbed in. The City Enyineer said that this �
wc�uld be done. Mr. Harris asked why this assessment would be
$7.2.11 and on �tice Creek Terrace it was $10.00. 2'he City
Ez�gi,neer said that thi.s was because there are five side yards. �
CQUZ�c�.lman Samuelson added that it is also a short street and
the Q�ly one in the area so the contractor will have to move
hi� ec�uipment back and forth. Mr. Harris asked why Riverview �
Terrace has not been sealcoated. The City Engineer said that
�h�re is just su much money, and it is used where the st,zeets
a�; th e wor s�. �
Councilman Liebl said that the City �ngineer goes to the pro�
pezty cywners and checks on the driveways and felt that he
deserves credit for this.
Third Streete 49th Avenue to 53rd Avenue
�'ho �i,t�r Engineer said that this would be a 40' wide, 9 ton
�'�7�4et. He explained that this was designated as a 3tate Aid
st�reet, as it does carry a great amount of traffic and therQ are
�,p�r�ment houses on this street. Fie said that the dif�erence
between the 36' residential stre et and the 40' State Aid s�rept
would be picked up by State Ai• funds.
Mx's. Ronal�l Lilliencrantz said that she was in favor of this.
Another re$ident asked haw this could be called a State Rid
street when a11 the streets entering onto it from 49th Avenue
to 53xd Avenue were residential streets. �i*he City Engineer
said that� it was because this street carries more traffa.c due
the apartments, but that if they did not want the better road
no extra cost to them, they did not have to have it. He said
that he could not see why there would be any objection to a
better street when the residents do not have to pay for it.

xeasonable to have a State Aid street as they will be getting
a better street for their money and will last longer. A typical
�es�identia� street would not last as long with the amount of
�ra�f�.c this street gets as the state Aid street would. The
City Fangineer said that if the people do not want a heavier
8�.�eet, another street could be designated to receive the
State Aid funds. A visitor to the Meeting asked about a pie
shaped �ot. The F�nance Director said that this would be con-
��dered, as explained before, when the assessment is made.

SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 1968 PAC� 9
Ano�.her resident asked if they would lose the trees in the
boulevard. The City Engineer said that if it is a State Aid
si:reet, these will be replaced with small trees. If it is to be
a residential street, they will not be replaced.
Councilman Liebl said that if the street is oniy 36' wide, and
ther� is a car parked on each side, it would make it too narraw
�o maneuver. There will probably be another apartment house in
this area ir� the future. He said chat he did not want these
same people to come back in �ive year� complaining that their
street is too narraw. He referred co che City Engineer's
st�tements that they would have noching to lose, and would be
gaining a better street.

TERRACE, THOMAS E. MARXEN:
Mayor Kirkham read the Public Hearing notice to the audience.
The City �ng,ineer said that thi:� requesi; is for property abutLin�
Onondaga Street on the north. �ie said that the P18nning Commission
recommended approval of this rec�uest. He explained that the lots
facing Onondaga are the only lots that will be developed at this
time, and that they are only 66' wide, but that Mr. Marxen has
been trying to buy land to the east and west to bring them up
to 75'. He said that the total square footage is adequate.
Councilman Samuelson asked if he had any plans for the back lots.
The City Engineer said no, only the front two lots. He said that
the P�anning Commission did not feel tYiat McKinlOy Street would
ever be esttended through this area to 73rd Avenue. Councilman
Harris said that he assumed that the cul-de-sac would serve the
back lots later. Z'he City Engineer said yes. Mayor Kirkham
wondered if this would not be setting a precedent by letting him
develop 66' lots, and asked why Lot 7 could not be split into
66' lots also. Councilman Samuelson said that the setback from
the corner would prevent th is. The City Engineer pointed out

aske�d �.f the cul-de-sac has already been dedicated. Mr. Marxen
sai.d yes, �nd added that he has been trying to get land on

��7STDr,ERATION OF REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #68-12, ROBERT A. SCHROER:
MayQr ICirkham read the Public Hearing notice to the audience.
MOTIDN by CounCilman Samuelson to receive that portion of the
Planning Commission Minutes of December 5, 1968 dealing with the
rec�,���� k�� Robert ScYiroer. Seconded by Councilman Harris.
UpQn a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion �arried.
�ouncillcdan Harris asked the City Engineer if there is anything
further that should be included. The City Engineer said that
l�ir. Schroer has submitted plans for the south portion of the
laa�d, but not for the north portion. The plans include tYie
loopback on the south to be aligned with the service road
south of Osborne Road. He said that there is a St. Paul water-
waxks easement here, and this will have to be checked out with
St� Pau1 to see what can be done. He said that the Planning
Commi,ssion recommended approval with a loopback at both the north
and sout� end of the property. He said that they agreed that the
first reading of the Ordinance could be held, then hold up the
second seading until all the final plans are approved.
Councilman Liebl asked Mr. Schroer if he holds title to a11 the
land. Mr. Schroer said that he awns the south portion, and has
a contract on the northern portion. He said that he plans on
much the same type of business as he has naw on Sast River Road.

He explained that he would like to expand to the north in the
�' r future. He said tha-c it would cost him about $150,000 for the
development of the south portion. Councilman Liebl asked Mr.
Schroer if he plans to have any gas sta�.ions. Mr. Schroer
� said that there were no plans for a service station at the north
end a;:, this ti.me. Councilman Liebl said that he could no� vote
for a rezoning if there was a gas station in;ended. He said that
� he thought that originally P�Lr. Schroer was going to rebuild on
his location on East River Road.
�, Mr. Richard Harris said that he would like to speak for himself
and his father, Mr.Harold Harris as property owners in th is area,
� and urge the Council to approve this rezoning request. He said
thai: this proposal loo}:s good to him and he felt that a C-2-S
zoning along University Avenue frontage would be compatible with
the area. He commen-ced that more development in this area would
� expeclite ge►.ting the neeessary utilities in�.o this area. Maycr
Kirkham agreed that this wou].d force a conclusion to the problem.
� Mr. Harris said that now is the time to consicler a large r►tain
int�o this area. He said that as the area develops there will be
� more large buildings that will require spri�]cling systems.
� Councilman Samuelson agreed that by zoning commercial, there would
be a higher valua-cion per acre.
MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to close �che Public Hearing.
Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Kir}cham declared the motion carried.
�' MOTION by Councilman Harris to concur with the Planniny Commission's

second reading be brought back at the next Regular Council Meeting.
NSeconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a roll call vote, Harris,
Samuelson and Kirkham voting aye, Liebl voting nay, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion FAILED. Mayor Kirkham said th at the First

Councilman Liebl said that he had voted no as there is one

discuss this with the Planning Commission.
INFORMAL ri�:E'I'ING - TEN YEAF INiPROVEMENT PROGRAM: (For Areas
North o� Rice Creek and vaest of Highway ;;47. in Fridley, Minn. )
� The City Manager sa�d that the City Engineer has put a lot of
time and work into planning this program. He said that the City
does not want the residen�s to have to drive on rutted streets.
�
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MLETING OF DECEMBER 9, 1968 PAGE 12
The plans involve improvements in an orderly fashion and at an
accelerated rate which will result in a saving to the taxpayer
as the costs of construction are rising very fast. He eYplained
tha-�. if the improvements can be grouped inta areas, this cuts
down on construction costs as the con�rac-l-or do�s not have to
move his equipmeni, about the City . There is also planned a
more ac�ressive sealcoa�Ling program and the City has authorized
purchasing a small paving machine. He said tha�t i� is hoped
tha�t when the residents undersi:and the program, it will be
less than ten years, because of the rapidly rising costs, and
thac it is just a mat-cer of time until all the streets within
the Ci-cy will be improved to City standards. He explained
that added to the cost of labor and materials, the bond inter-
est is rising. He said that it is hoped i:hat when the public
is aware of this, they will be more willing to accept the acce-
lerazion of the program for improvements.
The City Engineer said that there are about 17 miles of streets
that are not up to Ciicy standards. He said in the last four
years, improving s�,rale s-creets has been at a rate of about 2
miles per year. This program is put together to give the
people advance no'cice and has the advantage of giving his
Engineering Department time to work on the plans during the
winter when there is more time. If people wish to have an im-
provement made earZier, they can still petition. He eYplained
that if it is known which streets are to be improved in the
future, it would better enable his department to ma7:e the best
use of main-cenance funds. He said that this is just an informa.l
mee�ing and there will be a legal Public Hearing for every
street at a later date. The City Engineer showed a ma.p oii the
screen of the areas proposed to be improved in 1970 and said
that a Public Hearing had been held on some of the streets in
1965 and 1966, but the people did not want the improvement. Now
the streets are very badly deteriora-ced and cannot be.maintained.
He added that the figures given naw will be much higher than
they were in 1965 and 1966. Once the stree-cs are improved to
City standards, then S�cate Aid funds can be used for maintenance.
Councilman Samuelson asked if any street could be,accelerated in�o
the 196g street program if petitioned. The Ci�y Engineer said �es.
A visitor to the Meeting asked if one street is accelerated, does
this push another street back in the program. The City Engi-
neer replied no, that as many streets as wished can be improved
in any year.
Mr. Richard Harris asY.ed if Alden Way should not have been con-
sidered when the improvement of 62nd Way was proposed. The City
�
� ,
�
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING UF DECEMBER 9, 1968 PAGE 13
Engineer said that 62nd Way was put into i:he project as so -
many people complained aboui: the condition of the street.
A visitor to the Meeting asked what would happen if an improve-
� ment was petitioned against. The City Engineer said that he
felt that it should go in anyhaw, as he felt that this was a
good program, however, this is a Council deter minatipn.
� Cot�x�►Cilman Samuelson said that if a program was established,
he felt that the Council should adhere to it.
A v�.sitor to the Meeting said that in 1965 or 1966 there was
a petition for improvemen-c. of streets in the Hickory Drive
area, but they did not want storm sewers. He asked if there
would be a petition for storm sewers needed. Councilman Sam-
uelson said in this area, Lhe storm sewer portion of the
improvement was a minor cost of the total improvement. He
sai,d in this case, the Council would probably go ahead with it.
�e said that the Council has to compare the cost of the storm
�ewer in relation to the overall cost of the streets. The
City Engineer added that storm sewers will go in with the
�treet improvement. He said that this particular area is a
sma11 drainage distric�, and the program would be set up to
include the storm sewers. Councilman Samuelson asked if the storm
sewexs in the Hickory Drive area would be installed in 1969 and
the streets in 19'10. The City Engineer said that the pipes
would z�ot have to be very deep and it could all be done in one
year.
Mr. Roy Anderson said that he lives on Alden Way and about
6 or 7 years ago there was som�e storm se�wer lain dawn in Rickard
Road. He said that now this creates ice on East River Road, and
the road is such that you have to drive onto East River Road
to see if there is any traffic coming and he felt that this was
a dangerous situation. The City Engineer said that this was
done in 1961 or 1962 and the City did not want this water from
East River Road to go into the City system. Councilman Samuelson
said that maybe a small overlay would help. Mayor Kirkham told
Mr. Anderson that th is would be checked to see if a little
blacktop could be placed where it would help.
A visitor to the Meeting asked about driveways, He said that
he was planning to put in a concrete driveway. The City
Engineer said that the City matc"ies the driveways already in
e�cistance. If it is concrete, they put in concrete, if blacktop,
they put in blacktoip�,or if it is dirt, dirt is replaced. He
asked the man to come into the office to talk to him before he
Quts in his drive�way.
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 1968 PAGE 14
A v�s�tor to the Meeting said that she lives on 79th Way and
wou�d l�ke to see the street improved. It is scheduled for
�g71, iiowever, she said, there is a vacant lot, an apartment
house and rental property, and a corner lot, and a City park
and they cannot get 51% on a petition. She said that there are
xttiany schobl buses going down this street and there is a lot af
du,st. Mayor Kirkham advised her to try another petition and
i� wi,ll be considered. She then asked if there was a possibility
tha�. i� could be designated as a State Aid road so it could be
�,a�cie�:, Councilman Samuelson said no, that the State stipulates
that a S�.ate Aid road must connect two main streets, and 79th
W�y does not.
The City Engineer said that in 1971 improvements are also
proposed for Onaway Addition. He said that once the uta.lities
are in, the City can proceed with the streets. He said that
theX would have to be 40' streets as i.his is an industrial
a�ea. There is a 60' right of way. Mr. Richard Harris pointed
out that the City only awns � of 77th Way. The City Engineer
aaid that by 1970 the utilities should be in and everyth ing i.n
carc9ex for the streets to go in.
V�hen consiaering the streets �to be done in 1972, which are all.
south of z.694, a visitor ask�d haw wide the streets would be.
The City Engineer said that they would be 3�' wide. He ex-
plained that presently they are about 39' because of the swale,
but this will be cut back and curb and gutters added. He said
that everyth ing wouid be finished up to the property line.
Tnlhen cor�sidering Riverview Heights, which is due for improvements
in J.974, the City Engineer said that i:he City will have to wait
to see what develops there. In 1975, Hyde Park is due for
improvements, and he said tha�. by that time, the City should
have some answers to the problems there naw, as there is a
planner working on this now.
A visitor said that� he lives on starlite Boulevard and wants
to bui].d a dr ive�way , and asked about the grade change . The
City Engineer advised him to come into che office to get the
��rade lines before he proceeds.
Mr, McLain asked haw much difference there is between concrete
�treets and blacktop streets. T`he City Engineer said that
concrete streets are just about double the cost in sandy soils.

� Councilman Harris said that he had talked to Mr. Otilson at some
length, and wondered about the possibility of running a line

DIVISION #22 IN REGARD TO MOVING A RESIDENCE I7WELLING. (REQUESTED
BY LES CHIES - BUILDING STAND�R.DS - DESIGN CONTROL MINUTES OF
11-27-68)
The City k:ngineer explained that Page 25 of the Agenda shaas
the road pattern established by the Planning Commission and the
Council. This house would sit between two exi�`;^�� homes, and
he felt that it �.:;ald �it �.. ��.,. ���:.:.. He s:c��; V;,�:. �;i�re is
115' setback on the north and 84' setback on the south side from
Rice Creek Road. He explained that there is a possibility that
there would be a cul-de-sac behind this property which would leave
th is back lot substandard. He said that the question is whether
the Council would wish to extend the house about 6' closer to
Rice Creek Road and make the setback about 78' as this would put
this house at about the same setback as the home on the east.
He said that the Builbing Board had approved of this request sub-
ject to Mr. Chies posting a performance bond for complet�on by
July l, 1969, and subject to Engineering approval of the street
layout pattern. He said that Mr. Chies is planning an expansion
by adding a double garage on the west side. With the expansion,
the side yard setback would be about 10' from the property line.
Councilman Liebl asked Mr. Chies if he is also intending to re-
model. Mr. Chies said that he plans on using rough cedar and
brick. Councilman Lieb1 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 accept-
able to them. The City Engineer suggested that approval could be
made subject to concurrence of the neighbors. He added that the
houses on Rice Creek Road are set quite far back.
Councilman Sheridan said that he thought the house on the east would
be about the same elevation, but would the one on the west be
higher? Mr. Chies said that there is very little chanqe in ele-
vation, only about 3'. Councilman Sheridan �aid that the Building
Standards - Design Control had recommended a�proval subject to
posting a completion bond, and asked Mr. Chi�s if he could have it

Mayor Kirkham said that this matter has gone through Planning
Commission, and is now ready for Council action. Councilman
Sheridan comzaented that he had not seen the Minutes of the
December 9th Public Hearing Meeting but recalled that everyone
present seemed to be in favor. Mayor Kirkham agreed. Councilman
Liebl said that at the Public Hearing Meeting he had voted aqainst
this as he felt that a full Council sh ould be present. He said
that he would like to see the plans to see what Mr. Schroer is
planning to put in there. The City Engineer said that Mr. Schroe�
did submit tentative plans to the Planning Commission shawing his
intentions. Councilm�n Liebl said that these plans only shaw the

south portion, which is only about 2� acres, and he is requesting
a rezoning on about 9 acres. In the past we have required appli-
cants to shaw full plans.
Mr. Peter Lindberg, representing Mr. Schroer, said that they did
not have tull plans available yet. He explained that the Planning
Commission requested a change in the street layout providing for
loopbacks at the north and soutn ends, to which they have agreed.
By doing so, they had to move t2i�: building pack. He said that Mr.
Schroer wants to put in his shop�ing center in three parts, the
construction to be a western motif something like Holly Center.
There would then be some other shops in there. i�e said that they
will have more complete plans later to shaw what will be going in
before the second reading oi the ordinance. He said that they have
to have some indication thac the land w ill be rezoned before they
can go ahead with their plans.
Counci7.man Liebl askedif rezoned from M-2, would this be considered
str�.p zoning. He felt that this would destroy the whole area for
M-2. Mr. Lindberg said that at this time they are in the process
of negotiating for an industrial development behind this strip.
He said that they were not at liberty to divulge what these plans
were at this time. Councilman Liebl said that this was a very nice
piece of industrial propercy along University Avenue and someone
could put in a very large industrial plant. If this rezoning goes
through, th is would prevent this from ever being done. He said that
in the past the Council has shied away from splitting up portions
of land by rezonings, and that he felt that a degree of consistancy
must be maintained. If the Council allows this here, why not in
other places. Mr. Lindberg pointed out that the peat is very deep
in this area and there may be some problems with heavy industrial
buildings goinq in theze. Councilman Liebl asked, from a developer's
standpoint, if they felt that they were utiliaing the land in the best
interests of the City and also in their best int�..::.�:.<'�;� , Mr. Lind-
berg said that there will be �obs ava�lable to tlne C;itizgns of
the City of Fridley, and the taxes derived will benefit the City.
He pointed out that commercial development of the land allows
intenae use of the land as opposed to heavy industrial, where there
is a large amount of parking space required. Mayor Kirkham
pointed out that if an investcar is willing to develop 40 acres or
naor�, this is his decision, not the Council's. He said that as the
Planni#�q Commission has recommended approval and the abutting
property owners have spoken in favor of the project, this would be
putting it to it's best use. Councilman Harris added that he felt
that this would be very compatible with the area sout� of Osborne
Road, wherein the frontage land is zoned for commercial, and the
back portion which has access to the railroad tracks is industrial.
, REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEI�ER 16 1968

PAGE 21
He said that this could be made into a hub of commerce at this
�ntersection.
� Councilman Samuelson said that by putting the cost on a per acre
basis, a shopping center of this type does exceed that of an
industrial area. Councilman Liebl said that he realiaed this, but
would like to see the balance of the plans. Once this M-2 District
� is broken up, there cannot be any big industrial plants. Mt.
Lindberg said that one of the problems they had encountered with
their speculative plans for the M-2 area is that there is no
Idirect access to the railroad tracks. He said that we have a situ-
ation here, wherein Mr. Schroer has been a businessman in the City
� of Fridley for about lU years and would continue to do so, but his
present locatior� on East River Road is too small for his plans.

Councilman Sheridan suggested a step type of arrangement in case
Mr. Schroer cannot meet the 6 months time limit. If broken dawn
into two or three steps it could progress even though he may not
have the total plans available at once. Then, if he does not meet
the time limit, the re zoning on that portion would not go through.
This would require amendments to tlze ordinance read tonight, for
second reading, when the completed plans are available.
Councilman Harris asked haw much total front footage is involved.
� Mr. Lindberg said about 1500'. He said that they could have final
plans for about 1000' within 6 months. Councilman Sheridan asked
if 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, but rather whether the zoning
in this area should change from M-2 to C-2-S. He �sid that the
1 reason he a$Jced about the option on the land was the possibility
of step zoning.

Department will consider a crossover at 79th also. Councilman

and egress at Osborne Road. Tt►e City Sngineer said that he was not
sure about that. He said that these are th ings that have to be

RFGULAR COUNC�L MEETING OF DECEI�ER 16,1968
Pl�iGB 2 2
�ouncilman Samuelson asked what would happen if this was tabled
�Qx fu�ther study. Mr. Lindberg said that they would lose their
option on the land. Mayor Kirkham asked if the Council does this
a�.l at once, will Mr. Schroer be able to complete his plans. Mr.
Lindberg said that Mr. 3chroer was not sure ir he could get all his
p�ans through all the subcommittees necessary within the six months
time limit. Councilman Sheridan said that this is the Council
policy, and that he did not want to cause a detriment to his plans.
Mr. �indberg asked if the plans were completed for the south half
�,xid they were ready for a building permit on the south half, but not
the north half, then what would happen with the rezoning. Council-
man Sheridan said that in that case the rezoning on the north half
would not go through. Mr. James Gibbs further explained that if
there was rezoning step by step, the plans would be approved,
building permit approved, and the second reading of the Ordinance
al�o done step by step. �rhe City Manager said that this first
reading would stazd, then later the second reading of the Ordinance
would be amended to only inclu�ie ��x�t �ortion oa� `a►a.�_�:~; the plans
arp Complete. Mr. Lindberg said that he w� uld be willing to split
th� laz�d �.n half as they could meet these requirements. Council-
ma�i 5heridan said that then the building permit would be approved
anc� �he 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 assu=ance of what was
going in on the north portion. Mr. Gibbs said that there would
be no rezoning, if the plans were not approved, as the second reading
of the Ordinance would not be held. Councilman Samuelson pointed
out th at the Council is putting the burc3en on the investor. Council-
man Liebl said that he felt that the Council must look ahead, as
th is will be here if approved for the next 40 years or more.

S l 40,,,�D QHLSON: WELL ON 66th AVENUE (376 66th Avenue)
Mrs. Ohlson said that they have no water and the plumber cannot
get a permit without Council approval. She said that they are in
dire need of water. Mayor �Cirkham said that th is would be a con-
siderable investment and would hate to see them waste their money
on a new pump, if the water line were to be run. Mrs. Ohlson
said that her husband had worked all day yesterday and today, azd
they are still without water. Mayor Kirkham suggested the possibil-
ity of running a hose i:emporarily from a neighbors house until the
results of the upcoming Public Hearing are known. Mrs. Ohlson
s�id that she was afraid that �he water hose would freeze. Council-
ma�i Harxis added that this is the second well that has run dry
on this street and the people living on this street may be afxaid
that the�.r wells will be running dry also, and want the water line.
He said that the Public Hearing for this line is the 13th of Janu-
ary. The City Engineer said that this is the only street in this
neighborhood that does not have City water. Mrs. Ohlson said that
they needed the water immediately and would like to have the permit
for a well granted.
MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to grant a permit for a well at
376 66th Avenue for Mt. and Mrs. Harold Ohlson. Seconded by

Councilmar► Sheridan asked when this was added to the Agenda. 1'he
City �tanager said last Monday or Tuesday. Councilman Sheri�dan
askeci if ar�y of the Administration has looked at the plans. The
City Manager said that he had not seen the plans, but that he had
looksd at the site. Councilman Liebl asked the City 8ngineer if
he had seen the plans. The City E�gineer said that he had looked
at them tonight and knows what he is proposing. Councilman

�l�c. F�lister said that there is no major change. The proposal is
tp �.awer the back of the recreation building 3', put in a walk out
bmsempnt and provide a beauty shop, barber shop and delicatessen.
H�: asked that the Council look at the plans and if there are no
prob��ms, they could act on them, if there is some problem, it could
be delayed, but he could see no �eason for delay. Mayor Kirkham
sa�d that they might not need the comments of the Administration,
i� the change is this minor.
THE VOTE upon the motion, being a voice vote, Liebl and Sheridan
voting �ye, Kirkham and Samuelson voting nay, Harris abstaining,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion FAILF�.
Mr. Filalster then brought the plans foxward to the Council table and
' �cp�.�ined that there would be no change in the recreation building,
�th�� this is a proposal to put small shops into the basement, and
�hexe wou�d be none on the fixst floor. He said that this would
' �na,ke it 3 stories with a walk out basement, as the grade naturally
goes dawn. He said that there would be pre-stressed concrete
acros� the ba�ement.
'�he City Engineer pointed out that if the Council approves this,
they must be �xplicit on what is allawed in this basement, being
only a barber shop, beauty shop and delicatessen. He explained
that if there were more there might be zoning prob�ems, and there
is the question of whether he will need a special use permit to
have C-1 or C-2 in an R-3 District. Mr. Gibbs agreed and said that
there may be a l�al problem on wh�ther it coula :�: x•. � owed in an
R-3 zoning, without a special use permit. He said that the City
Engineer thinks there may be a provision in the City Code to allow
this i.f it is only for the p�ople of the development, and not out-
s�de�rs, but this is a legal question that will have to be checked.
Councilman Sheridan said if this is approved by the Council they
cou�.d allaw the building permit, but occupancy wauld depend on
wh�t,her a special use permit would be required or not. If it is
�ec�ui�ed, it would have to go to the Board of Appeals. Mayor
�Cirlcha�na commented that this problem bears out the prudence of the
motion by Co�,ncilman Sheridan. Councilman Harris said that the
Ci�y At�orney would research this and advise the Council of the
necessary st�ps. Mr. Gibbs said that this would be done, and that
he is not pre�ared to give an attorney's opinion at this time.

be brought in to the Administration so that they would have a chance
to review them and make a pro��:ssional recommendation.
MEDTRONICS FOUNDATION PERMIT:
The City Engineer said that some preliminary plans have been sub-
mi�ted for this development. He said that it would be located
sputh of Norton Avenue dawn to the creek bei:ween Central Avenue
and �.H, #65. He said that they are rec�uesting a foundation
perm�.� at this time. He said that the �irst phase is for 100,000
square feet, and that there are plans for expansion to the east
and wesl-.. He said that they have tentative elevation� which shaa
brick or better. He said that the plans are not for approval by
the Council at this ti.me. He said that the building on the south
will be two stories and one story in the front. He said that from
the preliminary plans the development looks very good. He sa id
that there were some traffic problems that would have to be re-
solved as there would be more than 1500 cars and he would encaurage
them to put most of the traffic onto Central Avenue.
There folla�wed a discussion of traffic patterns at the Council
table while look�.ng at the plans .
The� representative from Medtronics said that he hoped to be able
tQ cotne back with the f inal plans for Council approval within a
month. He said that this plan is presented to t he Council so that
�hey may have an idea of what they intend to build. He said that
a site of this type would support about 10,000 people. Councilman
Iiarris said that this looks like a very nice plan. The City
Engir�eer said that he had talked to the contractor and they are
a�vcious to qet the grading done before the frost goes dcn�m too deep.
He said that Medtronics will be bringing the final plans back later
and in the meantime, he will work with the applicant.

all these signs unless there is a variance needed.

The Finance Director commented that the law bidder is th e same
Agent and the same Company that has the insurance for the year 1968.
Councilman Harris ask�d if all the bidders were present at the bid
opening. The Finance Director said that Mr. Black from the Mutual
Creamery Insurance, Rice Creek Agency was not present, hawever, his
bid was higher based on the specifications set up by the City.
Mr. Black said that he would like to make a comment that on work-
, men's compensation, the general rate structure is based on approxi-
mately 60% loss ratio. �l�he fact tnat the C�.ty of Fridley is lucky to
be belaw this 60% loss ratio and take advantage of sliding scale
' dividends does not alter the fact that on a guaranteed dividend basis
the City woul.d not be taking the chance that it is on a sliding scale
basis. The �ity of Fridley does not have the operation to train the

PAGE �3
7'��e Ci.ty Manager explained that negotiations started initially by
���.ty Manager Negotiating Committee at the Metropolitan area level,
w�th the Union representatives. After negotiations were completed,
ap�aroxianate across the board wage increases were about $43 ,00 per
month. The recommendations of this committee hawever, are not
b�,nding on any municipality. This was done to coordinate and
facilitate negotiations at the local level. There were advance-
ments and up-grading of certain jobs. It was pointed out that
paying a Sk�lled person for overtime work, when a lawer grade
employee could also do the same type of work results in a waste of
money. Zt was felt at the negotiations at the local level that
R�lph Volkman sh ould be advanced. He said that naw the Union and
Admi�istration have reached an agreement.
Councilman Liebl said �hat he was glad to see the item about safety
on Page 65, as Y�:: felt that ti�� �i�.r i.as been n��igvs��. in some
areas conce�ning safet�, such as the digging that is done by the
Ci,ty, where he did not feel that there were adequate saf�ty features
provided. The City Manager said that they would be meeting once
ev�ry three months to discuss safety matters. Councilma� Liebl
asked if all. the Public Works trucks have flashers. The Director
a� public Works said that the larger trucks have roto beams and the
smaller ones have flashers. Councilman Samuelson asked �.f all this
will fall within the budget. The City Manager said yes. Councilman
Ha�ris asked haw many were in on the Metropolitan negotiations.
The Cii.y Manager said five, then when things were concluded, using
their findings as guidelines, the local negotiations were worked
out. Councilman Harris asked haw the City of Fridley compares with
the other municipalities. The City Manager said over-all we were
about in the middle. He pointed out that when insurance was dis-
cussed, the insurance was subtracted from the employees gross salary.
I�e said that there is also a plan to see if the men want some
additional benefits added onto their insurance policy. When this
infoXmation is obtained, there will be another meeting with the
Union representative to see about changing benefits, if so desired.
He also porinted out that the cost of living has risen about 5�.

was� given to street lights on East River Road, especially on the
�t�rves, the lights on East River Road totaling twelve. Councilman
S�mue],so�n agreed that the Council should authorize the 12 lights
�� East River Road as it is very hazardous.
Councilman Sheridan asked if there are still corners which do not
have street lights. The City Engineer said yes, but because of the
sa�ety problems, and because East River Road carries a large volume
of traffic, it was considered first.
Coun�ilman Sheridan said that he did not disagree with this, but
pQinted out that the people paying for the lights are not th e
p�c�ple deriving benefits. He said that there will be lights needed

is an industrial road, even though there are no cross streets.

Councilman H�rris askecl if the di�patchers were under the same
general regu�ations as other eraployees, such as a six month pro-
bationary period. The City Manager said yes. Mayor Kirkham asked
if the requirements preclude one of our present Policement from
applying for the job. The City Manager said they could an d also
pointed out that the physical requirements for the dispatcher's
,�pb are not as stringent as those for a Policeman. He said that
if a Policeman should bs injured on the job, he would have the
px'ivilege of bumping a Dispatcher, as he would be considered a
junior man. Councilman Sheridan asked if a Dispatcher employed by
the City would have the privilege of moving up to the position of
a Policeman. The City Manager said yes, if he could pass the
physica� examination and the Civil Service Examination, then he
would again be under a six month probationary period. Council-

chance for advancement. Councilman Liebl added that he thought this
was a good idea.

pare this Resolution and that it is much the same as has been passed
by other municipalities in the seven county area. Councilman Liebl
s�id that this spells out that the Metropolitan Council should be
appointive and not elective. Councilman Harris said that it is
felt by the municipalities that they did not want taxing controls
and legislative rights to be in the hands of the Metropolitan
Council, at least not for a tiane, �sntil their strue�:,ure is sound.
He felt that this would be a detriment to the local governments.
Gouncilman Liebl pointed out that some problems should be handled
a� the Metropolitan level, such as the problem of air polution. At.
a C�.�y l,evel, effective controls cannot be obtained. He said that

�a]�ans for the control of air polution. He said that possibly in
�q Xe�rs the members of the Metropolitan Council taay be elective.

' MEMO FROM: Mr. James D. Gibbs
Dcce�ber 18, 1968
SUB.IECT: F i I i ster Georgetown Apart�nents for bakery shop, barber
, shop and delicatesaen in the basewent of the recreation
facility in the Georgetown Apertn�ents.
Filister requested Council approval to establish what appeared to be
a co�na�erc i a l venture i n an R-3 son i ng.
F�idley Code of Ordinance 45.08 #3 allows businesses in R-3 conducted
a$ a servie�Fo� gu4sts thereof and accessible to custo�e�s f�o� inside
the building.
�
I am of the opinion that considering the Geo�getown Apartn�ents as
one co�nplete co�plex, Filister's �quest is within the Code. This is
true even though the businesses requested by Filister will be
accessible fron outside the building. I am of the opinion that the
design, location and outaide access to the service facilitiss requssted
are of such a nature so as to be within the intent of the Ordinance;
that is, it is designed primerily as a service to the guests or
residents of the Georgetown Apartments.

You will recall that when Onan Division decided on its present
plant site in Fridley, you, I and the other members of the Council had
quite a bit of discussion about the upgrading of 73rd Avenue Easterly to
County Road. 8 and Westerly to the Mississippi River Bouleuaxd. In our
last conversation you indicated that you felt it was unwise to push Ramsey
County until such time as Hennepin County completed its project. Since
this is noV� done (other than running it Westerly to the Mississippi River
Boulevard), we would appreciate it if you would pursue the matter further
with Ramsey County and let us know what the reasonable expectations are as
to a completion date.
We would also appreciate it if you would let us know what to
expect in regard to the Westerly extension. In connection with the
Westerly extension, it was also mentioned to the Council that we would
like to have a semaphore at the intersection of 73rd Avenue and State
Highway No, 65. Have ar�y steps been taken with the County and State
regarding this aspect.
I am sending this letter to you rather than to the entire Council,
� in that I know you have been the most active 2dvoca�e of this project,
Please give me a ca11 at your convenience and ].et me know where we stand.

THE MINiTTES OF fiHE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING OF DDCII�ER 18 , 19d8 PAGE 2
The Board read the repc�rt and asked to see the Filieter Ap�tment plans.
The Filiater plans were the only plans reviewed by the Board. 6Pter
reviewin� theee plans, it is the Boarda opinion that the Filister
Apartments are in violation of the present City Code, Section 49•�2► in
regard to the storage space which should be on the lowest level of the
building and also in the required squaxe footage.� ••�-
MOTION by Minish to deny the request for a variance, on the beeis that
the plans shown to the Board did not meet the present requirements of the
City Code, and in the Board's opinion they can see no hardehip in
requiring the applicant to comply with the requirements for laandry spe.ce.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, 0'Be.nnon voting nay, the motion
carried. .
Mr. 0'Bannon voted nay as he feels it is unfair to deny this request �.�
when other apartments were allowed to be built and not meet the requirements
of Section 49.082 of the City Code.
The Board feels since the plans submitted to them were only preliminaxy plana,
they can be changed to meet the present City Code requirements. It is also
the Boards opinion that it does not make sense that a 17 unit apartment and
a 140 unit apartment should req»ire tr� same 500 equare feet of laundry
room space. They feel this section of the City Code should be cha.nged.
There were no variances of laundry room or etorage apa�e brought before the
Board on the four apartment buildings listed on the report. It is the
Board's opinion that all four apartmente axe in violation of Section 49•082
of the preaent City Code.

' would be an asset to the Park. The Commission agreed to bring this to the
attention of the Council and Administration.

COUNTY COf�A9ISSI0NER - HARVEY PETERSON
Mr. Harvey Peterson, County Commissioner, presented a copy on a study of the
County �arks made by Midwest Planning and Research, Inc. This included not
only County owned parks but also City owned parks within the County. This
report shows that the County is well ahead of the statistic on number of
people per number of acres of park land. He also stated that he has colored
slides of aerial views of some of the parks within the County that he will
bring to his next regularly scheduled meeting and show to the Commission.
' Mr. Peterson brought the Commission up to date on some of the latest activities
of the County regarding park land. He stated that they are interested in acquir-
ing canoe camp sites along the Rum River. The County is rejuvenating the Rice
Creek Boy Scout Camp=by installing a fence along the road, sidewalks and a new
� shelter building in the area. The County Commissioners have also talked about
the possibility of discontinuing the County Fair and developing the land now
used for the Fair into a large park to be used the year around.
'

The Commission asked about the progress of the Ice Arena. Mr. Peterson stated
that they expect it to be ready by the lst of March. They are in the process
of interviewing managers at this time. They anticipate that the arena will be
open for twelve months of the year, twenty-four hours a day.

into a twenty to twenty-two foot drive, which would be used for parking, off
from which a sixty foot, black-topped boat launch would be built. A large,
open, recreational area would lie to the North of the circular roadway with
the area lying to the South left primarily in a rustic state. The river would
have to be dredged in this area approximately every two to three years although
it would only take about one day and should not be too costly.
The Commission explained the purpose of having both Mr. Peterson and Mr.
Braddock attend the same meeting. They had discussed at an earlier meeting
the possibility of having the County help in the development of this park
since it would be open to the public and not restricted to only residents
of Fridley. Mr. Peterson suggested that the Commission contact Mr. A1 Kordiak
who is the County Park Committee Chairman.

PtANNING Ct�JISSION - CHAIRMAN FITZPATRICK
Chairman Fitzpatrick informed the Commission that a developer has presented
to the Pianning Commission, a plan for developing the Innsbruck area North
of Interstate 694. Nothing officially has been done to date but he thought
that the Commission should be aware of this.
RESOLUTION
1 A draft resolution regarding land from the parks system lost to the Water De-
partment for we�l sites was written by and presented to the Commission by Vice
Chaixman Dunphy. More than 1.57 acres have already been lost by the Park sys-
tera and the Commission feels that this land should be replaced. Mr. Marvin
e Brunsell, Finance Director, was called into the meeting to explain the system
of assessing park land.

held, as Iie had not been noti£ied t(iat ttie date of tiie mecting tiad been
changed from February 12th to Februzry 13th. Counci.I.man Fiarris said that the
discussion had centered around wfiere tt►e drainage water wou2d go, }Ie said
the plan c•�as fine, and the street pattern was fine, but the problem was
drainage. Councilman Sberidan said th�zt tbis had been referred to t�ie
Plannin� Com�nission because it ties in �aith thc Rice Creek/ Central Avenue
plan ttiey have been studying, and ��Eiich the Council will discuss on
March 18tii. Councilm�2n Stieridan said ttiat tiie Public Hearing t,�as held
to approve the plat, and the request was denicd so anotEier hearino mu.:t be
held. It was suggested he could get togeti�er with the City Engineer to see
wEiat could be done. C.ouncilman Liebl said ttiat �Ir. Ga�sel will only have to
pay for Fiis stlare of any drainage pro ject, but the otiier people have to be
protected also. Mayor I�irkham said that the City cannot allow anotiier home
to be built until the problem is solved, so there will have to be anather
bearin�. Z'he City Engineer said there i.s a drainage plan for the area, and
it�has been presented to the Council. He said that if less tban ttie plan is
done there will be problems; to do it right the whole storm se���er system must
be put in.
. Mr. Gibbs �ti�as asked about State Statutes governing drainage rights. Mr, Gibbs
said that the City Attorney �aould be more familiar �aith drainage and watershed
problems, but it appeared to him that in case law, a property o�•�ner could
dispose of water on his property in any way as long as tEie damage accruing
to the neigEibor taas not greater than ttie benefit accruing to him. He said
that the City Attorney could check into this fo th
r e Council.

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
57 WEST SEVENTH STREET
- SAINT PAUL 55102
November 6, 1968
Mr. Dave Harris, Chairman
F'ridley Industrial Commission
C:ity Hall
F'ridley, Minnesota
I>ear Mr. Harris :
113
' Fridley is regarded by this department as one of the more progressive
c►f its type in Minnesota as evidenced by events that have occurred in
t.he last several years.
�'
'
'
V�le would like to use an in-depth outline of the progress you have made
a�s an educational tool for inspiring other Minnesota communities to a
Y��igher level of accomplishment. The approach you use within your
c�ommunity, the companies and method of contact outside your town, the
method of financing used, pictures of growth or action factors, all
w�ould be helpful -- plus any additional information you feel might
serve our purpose.
' If you are willing to let us use Fridley as an example of what a
Nl�innesota town can do, we would appreciate having you forward to us,
at your earliest convenience, as full an outline as possible of who
� has done what, and how it was done, in and for Fridley. Since this
will be used in a fairly sophisticated brochure, good glossy prints
would be appreciated. Perhaps a local newspaperman or someone with
' writing ability could put together the script and might also be of
considerable help on the pictures.
' Under any circumstance, please give me a call or drop me a line if you
have any objections at our using Fridley for this purpose or if we can
be of any assistance in putting together the information you and we
' would like to have used. We'd like to put this together and have it
available by sometime in December so your prompt attention would be
most appreciated.
