VISITORS.
Mayor Kirkham explaxned the Council policy o£ allowing 15 minutes for members
of the audience to speak on any item not on the Agenda.
Mr. Eldon Schmedeke said that he would like to ask the Council's help on a
proposed bill concerning automobile liens. He said that he had �ust read an
editorial in the Minneapolis Star April 18, 1969 about the proposed bill
which would provide controls, so that a purchaser of a car could be assured
that there was not a lien against the car that he did not know about. He
pointed out that wfien buping a car from a private partp there is no way of
knowing if there is a lien against it. He said that he had talked to his
Representative and Senator to try to get this law through. Councilman
Sheridan asked if he knew the Senate Fi1e Number. Mr. Schmedeke said that he
did not.
CONTINUED PUBLTC HEARING ON FINAL PLAT (P.S. #69-03) MAPLE AIANOR ADDITION,
HIGHLAND PARK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY:
The City Engineer said that the Planning Commission had recommended approval
of this p',at, but he did want to point out that there is a small change �
since the special use permit was approved on the area zoned R-1 in Melody
Manor Outlot #l. He said that now it is split into Lots 1 and 6 and asked
why this property was divided up. Mr. Joseph Getis said that only parts
of these lots will be used for the nursing home. The City Engiraeer pointed
out that both lots are zoned R-1 and could not see the reason for the change.
Mr. Getis said that there is really no reason for the split, and it could
be made into all Lot 1.
The City Engineer said that the C1�,�. has the plans now, and he would recommend
approval of the plat.
Mr. Richard Swift, 7577 Lyric Lane said that many people have submitted pro-
tests on the apartment houses because of the increase of traffic and the de-
valuation of their homes. He felt that the apartment houses would detract
from the whole area. Mayor Kirkham informed him that the zoning is correot
on the land for apartsnent houses. Mr. Swift said that he had called City
Hall before buying his home, and he was told that it was R-1. Mayor Kirkham
asked how long ago this was. He answered in March, 1968. Councilman Samuel-
son informed Mr. Swift that the property was rezoned in 1966. Councilman
Harris said that he understood that some of the people have contacted Home-
dale Builders for misrepresentation. Mr. Swift said that this was hzs under-
standing also.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to close the Public Hearing on the Final Plat

� PUBLIC HEARING ON FINAL PLAT (P.S. #69-01) BRENTWOOD ESTATE5 REQUESTED BY
THOMAS R. SWANSON: Generally located west of East River Road and south of
Logan Parkway.
The City Engineer showed a map of the area on the screen and explained that
this is the area 7ust north of Riverwood Elementary School. The plat is
divided up into 10 lots. There will be a need for additional right oE way
from Riverview Terrace to the north-south road. The Planning Commission re-
commended approval of this plat.
Councilman Liebl asked if the Zot 34 shown on the screen as being split up
would still be buildable size lots. The City Engineer saad that this lot is
not part of the plat, and could be split many difPerent ways, but that it is
about 270' deep and if 25' are taken for the roadway, there would still be
enough land for two large lots.
Councilman Samuelson said that Mr. Sangster (Lot 3, Block l, mississippi
View) questioned how the assessments would be spread and felt that he would
be assessed for a road that he would not need.
Mr. Benedict Novak, 115 71st Way N.E. said that he is the owner of Lot 34,
and if the lots were split up into more than two, they would not be salable
Mayor Kirkham told him this was �ust a suggestion and the splitting would be
up to him, he would not be fozced to split the land up into three lots.
� Councilman Samuelson said that this land is in need of some platting, as
it is nice property, but at the present tame, it is land-locked. He said
that Mr. Sangster would prefex access from East River Road. Councilman Liebl
asked if the people on the cozner lots would have access from Riverview
Terrace. The City Engineer said yes, that he felt that access from East
River Road should be discouraged. The City Engineer said that the right of
way is needed for Mr. Novak's lot and the lot to the north of him for access
to Riverview Terrace. Councilman Sheridan said that in that event, the lot
to the north would also benefit. He said that he understood that Lot 34
is about 238' from Riverview Terrace. Mayor Kirkham asked Mr. Novak if he is
against this proposal and Mr. Novak replied yes. Counca.lman Sheridan said
that the policy has been that the developer has to negotiate for the ease-
ments from the property owners. CounciLman Liebl agreed, and commented to
Mr. Novak that the developer would have to approach him to get the necessary
right of way. Councilman Samuelson said that the Council is well aware that
this area needs help in development, and the Council is willing to give
assistance, but the property owners in the area must get together for their
mutual benefit, to resolve the right of way problems
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to close the Pul�lic Hearing on the Final Plat
P.S. #69-01, Brentwood Estates requested by Thomas R. Swanson. Seconded by
Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.
� MOTION by Councilman Harris to concur with the plat contingent u�aon obtaining
the necessary easements and dedications for complete access as outlined on
the map on Page #57 of the April 21, 1969 Agenda. Seconded by Councilman
Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried unanimously.

5UPPLEMENTAL PUBLIC HEARING ON TF3E MATTER OF
IMPROVEMENTS FOR UNIVERSITY AVEI�IJE EAST SERVI
PAGE 4
ROAD FROM 69TH AVENUE TO
73RD AVENUE INCLUDING THE 69TH AVENUE CROSSOVER ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE•
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1968-1B:
Councilman Liebl asked if the service road could be assessed. Councilman
Harris answered that part of it would be paid for by Minnesota Transfer
Railway Company, part of the service road is ad�acent to the County Arena,
and some of it is by the City park. Councilman Sheridan said that the Park
property should not be assessed because to levy an assessment, there has to
be shown a benefit, and in this case, there would be none.
Councilman Harris commented that he could not see the reason for the additional
hearing, and that the City Attorney has already been authorized to get the
land acquisition. Mayor Kirkham explained that this was �ust extra in-
surance by the City, as the plans have been changed since the last Public
Hearing. He then asked if there was anyone in the audience that wished to
be heard, with no response.
The City Engineer showed the plan for the loop back which would keep the
industrial traffic away from the residential traffic. If industrial develop-
ment goes in north of the 69th Avenue crossover on the west side of Univer-
sity Avenue the loop back will be continued north.
Councilman Harris said that he had talked to some of the people on the east
side of University Avenue near 69th, and they were in agreement with the
improvement. The City Engineer agreed and said that letters and maps have
been sent out explaining the pro7ect, and when the people understood what was
being proposed, they were also in favor of it.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to close the Supplemental Public Hearing for
the improvement of the east service road from 69th Avenue to 73rd Avenue,
including the 69th Avenue crossover on University Avenue: Street Improve-
ment Pro7ect St. 1968-1B. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR REZONING FROM R-1 TO
R-3A (ZOA #68-13), HAMMERLUND ENTERPRISES, INC. AND APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT
WITH PROPERTY OWNERS:
The City Engineer pointed out that all the requirements requested by the
Council are included in the agreement appearing in the Agenda. The agreement
also stipulates that the Council will control the development. Councilman
Sheridan asked why there would be a necessity of both easements running north
and south. The City Engineer said that this was a request by the Planning
Commission so that there would be double access to the City Park, but if
Stinson Boulevard is ever improved, the west easement could probably be
vacated. Councilman Sheridan asked Mr. Nordstrom if he had any plans. Mr.
Nordstrom said that he had some tentative plans, but they are not specific
as yet. He said that he could get the agxeement executed the next day.
Councilman Sheridan told him that the Council policy has been to see the plans
before the second readinq of the Ordinance. The City Engineer said that it
was the Crty Attorney's opinion that the agreement would sufficiently pro-
tect the City, so that the second reading could be held. Councilman Sheridan
said that the o�ly reason he brought this up, was that he felt that once a
policy is set, it should either be adhered to, or ahandoned. The City
�
��
�
iJ�
! � C
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1969 PAGE 5
� Engineer said that thzs is something new, and there has never been an agree-
ment of this nature before. Councilman Samuelson said that he would have
to agree with Councilman Sheridan and pointed out that the Council held up
the Bob Schroer rezoning until everything was in order.
Mr. Nordstrom said that he has presented preliminary plans to the Council,
and that he intended to adhere to the Code and all the City Ordinances. I3e
said that he will have the property owners signature on the agreement and
will have it into the City o££ices by 2:00 P.M. tomorrow.
Councilman Liebl asked Mr. Nordstrom if he understood completely that once
this agreement is signed between Carl Hipp and the City of Fridley, he must
adhere to it and will be bound by it. Mayor Kirkham said that this really is
nothing that has not been done before. On previous occasions, the publication
has 7ust been held up. Councilman Sheridan felt that this was something
different and that the established policy should be adhered to. If the
Council should wish to cixcumvent the policy, and do something new, this
would be something else again. Mayor Kirkham asked Councilman Sheridan what
else he would want from Mr. Nordstrom. Councilman Sheridan said that he felt
that the regular procedure should be gone through, and that the plans should
be submitted to the Suilding Standards - Design Control, then after the
Council receives their recommendations, the Council should act.
Mayor Kirkham then called an executive recess from 8:35 to 8:57 P.M.
� Mayor Kirkham told Mr. Nordstrom that the agreement cannot supercede the
Ordinance, and also pointed out that the agreement would need a 4/5 vote of
the Council to pass. He told Mr. Nordstrom that the second reading of the
Ordinance must be within 6 months of bhe first reading, which was March 17,
1969. Councilman Sheridan suggested adding another paragraph stating that
items a), b), c), and d) under Section 1 of the agreement must be completed
before the second reading of the Ordinance, and that the second reading must
be before August 17, 1969.
Mr. Nordstrom said that they will be complied with tomorrow. Councilman
Sheridan said no, that this would also include the submission of the plans,
and the recommendatlon of the Building Standards - Design Control Committee
on these plans. Mr. Nordstrom said that he understood that he could submit
the plans to the Building Inspection Department, and if they were all right,
he could go ahead. Councilman Harris said no, that the Council also sees
the plans after the Building Standards - Design Control Subcommittee, and
approves, disapproves, or makes additions or deletions. Mr. Nordstrom said
that he could have all these things done by August 17th. Councilman Sheridan
asked him if he had no ob�ections then. Mr. Nordstrom said no, that they
should be done prior to that time.
The Assistant City Attorney, Mr. James Gibbs,said that item e) under Section
1 could not be met before August 17th, and that compliance with 7ust a}, b),
c) and d) should be included in the added paragraph.
� MOTION by Councilman Harris to add Paragraph f) under Section 1 of tt�e agree-
ment as follows: f) That the provisions of a), b), c), and d) must be met
prior to the second reading of the Ordinance which must be no later than
August 17, 1969. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.

son, Sheridan, Kirkham, Liebl voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
carried
CONSIDERATION OF BUILDING PERMIT AS REQUESTED BY MURPHY OIL CORPORATION:
The City Engineer said that Mr. Lundberg had intended to come to the Meeting,
but is not yet in attendance. The Council at the last meeting approved the
concept, and he has worked with the County on the traffic pattern and they
have reluctantly concurred. There will be still some dedications necessary
but his recommendation was fox approval of the plan, sub�ect to rece�.ving
the dedications. The only differences in this plan is that the building has
been turned, and there are now two openings off East River Road also.
Councilman Samuelson asked if this had a canopy. The City Engineer said yes. �
Councilman Samuelson then asked if it would be 35' back. The City Engineer
said that the requirement is that the building be set back 35', but that the
islands could be less.
Mayor Kirkham suggested laying this over until later in the Meeting in case
Mr. Lundberg should be able to get to the Meeting.
NOTE: This item was taken up later in the Meeting, but Mr. Lundberg did not
arrive. For the sake of clarity, the remainder of the Minutes pertaining to
this item follow.
Councilman Harris asked how far back the fYrst island is. The City Engineer
said that there is 15' between the island and the property line.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the plan shown on Page 70 of the
April 21, 1969 Agenda, sub7ect to the City of Fridley qetting all the necessary
easements. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF McCLAIN'S ALLEY BETWEEN 2ND STREET AND MAIN
The City Manager presented the background, recommendations, and conclusions
outlined in ha.s Memorandum dated April 2, 1969. He was aided in the pre-
sentation by the use of transparencies shnwn on the screen of the area in-
volved. This has been a problem since 1964, and Mr. McClain feels that if �
others can fence off the alley and use it, he would also like this right.
The first priority would be that the alley be opened up, proper drainage
sewers be installed, alley surfaced and apartment houses be required to
abide by the Code and install parking lots as originally agreed. The other
alternative would be to allow the front yard parking for the apartment houses
on Main Street. The owner of 6021 Main Street, Mr. William Warner has
�
�
�
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1969
indicated that he is not in favor of the front yard parking.
PAGE 7
Mr. McClain said that he would like to clean this area up. There has
always been a problem of blowing sand and if he and the c�wner to the west
of him were to be able to put in a fence, they could sod and eliminate this
problem.
Councilman Liebl said that the Publio Hearing in 1968 showed that about
800 of the people were in favor of vacating the alley, Although the apart-
ment houses were constructed improperly, he did not feel that 80% of the
people should be penalized by putting in the alley. He felt that some
agreement should be arrived at so as to close off the south end of the alley,
and allow the present use of the rest of the alley.
The Crty Manager asked the Assistant City Attorney if it would be legal
for the home owners at the south end of the alley to sign an agreement to
close off the alley. Then what is to be done about the front year parking
for the rest of the apartment houses. Mr. Gibbs answered that if everyone
would agree to the front yard parking, the2e would be no proUlem but if not,
it would involve condemnations and would be difficult.
Councilman Harris asked if this would not be part of SS #5. The City Engineer
said yes, that it would be about $3,000 and that there were some funds avail-
able. Councilman Harris said that disregarding all the problems with the
alley, he still felt that the drainage problems should be corrected.
Councilman Sheridan asked if there would not be room for a driveway to the
back lots by 6021 Main Street. Mr. Gibbs said that this would, in effect,
be a condemnation and would require 100o approval of all the property
owners, if any access is taken. Mr. McClain said that 6011 Main Street
would rather close the al2ey, but 6008 2nd Street uses the alley. Mayor
Kirkham said that 6006 2nd Street could get to the back lots from access off
2nd Street.
Councilman Liebl said that the problem occurred when the apartment houses
went in in the first place. If there was a proper setback and proper parking,
there would be no problem today. Mr. Gibbs said that at that time under the
zoning, they did meet the requirements. In recent years the City has been
requiring 1'� parking spaces per unit, but the Ordinance still states 1
parking space per unit.
A member of the aud2ence said that he would have to agree with Councilman Liebl
that there is not enough set back. He said that he lived at 6035 Main Street
for a time and had a station wagon, and it was hit by a car sliding into him.
He added that there is a lot of water standing in the area.
Mr. Gibbs commented that under the Tagging Ordinance, these vehicles parking
along Main Street will get some tags,� and this wi11 bring in the apartment
owners to force some solution, possibly to ask that it be opened up.
The City Manager asked Mr. McClain if he could approach 6D11 Main Street,
6008 2nd Street, and 6000 2nd Street on getting an agreement signed with the
City of Fridley to allow fencing off of that portion of the a11ey, with the
understanding that if the alley was ever opened, the fence would have to be
removed. xe also suggested that the Council may want to pass a resolution
allowing front yard parking for those apartments, or they will be getting tags.
, i,
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1969 PAGE S
Mr. McClain asked why the apartment house owners could not make a service �
drive. Councilman Sheridan said that the City Manager's studies showed that
there was not enough room. Mr. McClain said that he felt that the apartments
should be forced to make their own alley and maintain it. Mayor Kirkham
asked him if he could get the agreement suggested by the City Manager signed.
Mr. McClain said that if this is what it would take to get it blocked off,
he would try.
OF LICENSES FOR CASINO ROYALE - CARL ROSTBERG:
Gary L. Phleger, Attorney for Carl Rostberg, was present and explained that
this is the second time this request has been submitted. Last time there was
one Council Member absent, and the vote was two to two. Mr. Rostberg now
operates a teen age club and would like to continue to do so, however, there
is a problem of finances. Being open on only the week ends makes this oper-
ation economically unfeasible, and his request is to have adult nights with
set ups and a beer license on week nights. He said that there is police in
attendance and the club has been kept well in order. He-said that Mr.
Rostberg would be willing to answer any questions the Council may have.
Mr. John Lindell of the Kings Chalet, spoke as one of the neighboring busi-
nesses in Shorewood, and said that he felt that Mr. Rostberg is doing a fine
job and he knows of no complaints against the operation. Mr. Lindell said
that he serves no beer or set ups, but on occasion he has had requests to do
so, and in the future, if Mr. Rostberg were to be granted this comY�ination �
license, he would refer his customers to him.
Mr. Walt Dunning, St. Anthony Furniture Store in Shorewood Shopping Center
said that he would be in favor of the operation and knows of no complaints.
Mr. Fred Johnson of Johnson's Appliance Store agreed with the other business
neighbors of Mr. Rostberg, and said that it was a clean place, well run, and
there are no abuses of priviledges.
Councilman Sheridan refreshed the Council's memory on the motion that failed
the last time this was brought up in saying that it was for a beer and set
up operation from Sunday, 12:01 P.M., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs-
day; and Friday and Saturday were the teen age nights. There was to be
bottle beer only, no tap beer to allow for better control. Mr. Gibbs said
that when the question was raised before, he checked with the State Liquor
Commissioners. This type of operation is allowed occasionally in the
Metropolitan area, and quite frequently throughout the state. The Liquor
Commissioners felt that they would allow this, as a teen age club on week
ends only is not economically feasible and this would supply a supplementary
income. He recommended issuing a limited license for only certain hou�s.
Councilman Samuelson said that inasmuch as he was one of the dissenting voters,
he would have to bring it back upon the table for discussion.
MOTION by Councilman Samaelson to bring back the consideration of a limited �
license for 3.2 beer and set ups on Sunday from 12 O1 P.M., through Thursday,
with Friday and Saturday being teen club nights, for Casino Royale.
Councilman Samuelson said that although he bxought back this item for dis-
cussion, he was still not in favor of mixing the two operations. Mayor Kirk-
ham agreed that he felt that a teen aqe operation and an adult club should be
�,
' '�<<s�
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1969 PAGE 9
� kept distinct. He pointed to the problems with the Hulabaloo Club. The
Council was assured that it would be kept a clean c1ub, then it changed
hands, and now it has changed hands again. He said that this is in no way
a reflection upon Mr. Rostberg, but rather a matter of personal discretion.
Mr. Phleger said that he wanted to make clear that this would be in no way
a 7oint operation with some kind of partition, but would be separated by
the calendar, and would be on completelp different nights.
Councilman Harris asked what kind of control the City would have if this
club was sold again. Mr. Gibbs said that the license would not be trans-
ferrable. The new owners would have to come in and apply for a license.
Councilman Sheridan asked if there would be any entertainment on the adult
nights. Mr. Rostberg said that there would be 7ust live music seven days a
week. Councilman Harris asked if this would be the same type license as for
the Frontier Club and Canterbury Pub. Mr. Gibbs said yes, except that their
licenses are not split by the days of the week. He added that he could fore-
see the problem of an adult coming in on a week night, then trying to come
back on a week end, not knowing the arrangement.
Councilman Liebl said that he has checked Mr. Rostberg's reputation and he
feels that these two operations would be compatible. He said that he under-
stood Mayor Kirkham's and Councilman Samuelson's stand, but he felt that the
� teen agers in Fridley need a place to go to dance, and Casino Royale would
provide a place with police protection, He said that he would have no hesi-
tation in letting his children go there. He said that in a progressive and
competitive world, consideration must be qiven to private enterprise.
Councilman Harris asked, because of this unique situation if it would be
possible to grant a provisaonal license. Mr. Gibbs said that he did not know,
but that he would check the State Statutes. Councilman Sheridan said that
this could be compared to the temporary liquor licenses granted to the Jaycees
and other organizations to augment their income.
Mr. Ed Thayer, 132 Stonybrook Way, said that he has a 16 year old daughter,
and he is satisfied with the controls provided by Mr. Rostberg. Fridley
needs a place for teen agers to dance and he would prefer to have his daugh-
ter here in Fridley than over in Robbinsdale or down in Minneapolis.
MOTION TO AMEND THE MOTION by Councilman Samuelson made by Councilman Harris
that it be a provisional license sub�ect to Council renewal on November 1,
1969. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, Sheridan, Harris,
Lieb1 voting aye, Kirkham and Samuelson voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.
THE AMENDED MOTION was seconded by Councilman Sheridan, and upon a voice
vote, Liebl, Harris, and Sheridan voting aye, Kirkham and 5amuelson voting
nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the mo�ion aarried.
' CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE FOR REZONING REQUEST (ZOA #69-03) TO REZONE
FROM C-25 AND M-1 TO R-3A, N. CRAIG JOHNSON SE corner of 79th Way and East
River Road �
The City Engineer said that this is a proposal to rezone a portion of R-3
to R-3A, the rest of the land is C-2S and M-1 and would be rezoned to R-3A.
He showed on a map those portions of the land zoned M-1 and C-25, and ex-
plained that the M-1 is along the railroad tracks and the C-2S is along

East River Road. '
Councilman Liebl said that he had received many ca11s on this and was told
that there would be a petition to be presented to the Council. Mr. Charles
Floer, 161 79th Way then came forward with a petition and said that there
were 244 names on it.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive Petition #12-1969. Seconded by Council-
man Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to ask the Council's courtesp in granting a
three week delay before any decision is made to allow more time for the
Council to study this request. He would also like to request the Adminis-
tration to make a study of the traffic pattern in this area and a comparison
of tax potential with the present zoning as opposed to the proposed
zoning. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan.
Mr. Ed Thayer, 182 Stonyb�ook Way N.E., said that he would like to know what
kind of a development is to go in this area. Councilman Samuelson said that
rt would be an apartment complex with about 290 units.
Mr. William Dolan, of Dolan Engineering Inc., Engineer for the complex,
brought the plans forward for the Council and audience to see.
Mr. Thayer asked what kind of taxes this type o£'complex would bring into �
the City of Fridley. The Finance Director sa�id that he did not have this �
information but would estimate that for a 3.5 million dQllar pro�ect, it
should bring in about $170,000 to $190,D00 per year.
Mr. Dolan said th�t the plan is for 5 u-shaped buiZdings centering around
a pool and recreational building in the center. Acaess to the site would be
off 79th Way and there would be one access off East River Road. Most of the
parking and the access would be to the rear. The north part of the property
is zoned for multiples already. He felt that this plan allows good use of
the 1and, as there would be a tremendous amount of green area.
Mrs. Pett, 176 Longfellow, said that it appeared then the people north of
the complex would be looking at the backs of the garages and garbage cans.
Mr. Dolan said that the garbage cans will be screened and placed near the
garages. The garages wa.11 have two doors, rather than a string of doors, and
the cars will drive in and park.
A member of the audience asked how they plan to drain the land, and that the
creek goes right by their property. Mayor Kirkham answered that no matter
what kind of development were to go in there, the land would have to be
drained. The City Engineer said that the only possible drainage would be
into the creek. Mr. Leonard Brandt, 190 Craigbrook Way N.E. said that the
water goes down the creek so fast now there are erosion problems. Counoil-
man Samuelson said that there is a Public Hearing com�ng up soon on the '
drainage of the area to the east and there will have to be some kind of
improvements made to the creek also. Mayor Kirkham said that the creek will
be protected, probably by the use of riprap. Councilman Samuelson said that
this will be part of the cost of the total improvement. He also pointed out
that if it were to be developed into commercial use, there would be more
blacktop required, which would cause a greater amount of runoff.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21� 1969 PAGE 11
� Mr. Thayer asked how the tax potential would compare between the present
zoning and the proposed zoning. Councilman Samuelson said that there were
no concrete figures available, but he would guess the apartment would bring
about $200,000 per acre and a shopping center would bring about $150,000
to $175,000 per acre. Mr. Thayer asked if this complex would not generate
about 100 to 200 children. Councilman Samuelson said that he believed gene-
ral surveys figure out to be about .4 children per unit. Mr, Thayer said that
when thinking about apartment houses, it brings to his mind those on Charles
Street and these are a disgrace to the City. Councilman Samuelson said that
he must agree, however, this would depend on the managernent. Mayor Kirkham
said that this proposal would be comparable to the Georgetown apartment com-
plex. Mr. Thayer said that with the Georgetown apartments, there are a
limited amount of ch�ldren allowed, but with this complex there did not seem
to be any limits set.
Mr. Dolan said that as far as maintenance goes, he would assume that the
complex would have to be kept up, or the owners would be losing money. Most
apartments are run by a manager, and a full time caretaker. Mr. Serry
Roberts said that he is part of the partnership, and the management would be
his problem. He said that as such, he would have a great deal at stake,
and if the apartments are not kept up, they will go broke. He pointed out
that the rental is quite high and as such would act somewhat as a screen.
A member of the audience asked how long they would own the pro�ect be£ore
' selling it. Mr. Roberts said that he is not one of the owners, but the mana-
ger, but that there would be no benefit it selling it soon. A visitor asked
how they would calculate the longevity of the buildings, in other worfls,
how long before it will become run down. Mr. Roberts said that there are
some proj�ects in this country that are 100 years old, and are still of high
quality because of good maintenance. He said that his money is going into
this, and he will try to make it as good as he can. Mr. Roberts was asked
what other pro7ects his company manages. Ae replied that the largest is
MeadoWbrook Manor, and they also manage an F.H.A. pro�ect in Roseville, to
mention a few. Councilman Samuelson asked how many units he is speaking of.
Mr. Roberts said that they range from 2500 units down to 15 units.
Mr. Thayer asked Councilman Samuelson what he would pre£er to see go in
there. Councilman Samuelson said aesthetically speaking, that he would pre-
fer this pro7ect.
Another Representative for this pro�ect said that with the present zoning,
there would be open spaces, which quite possibly would not be kept up. A
membex of the audience asked where the parking is to be. Mr. Dolan said most
of it would be along the railroad tracks and some would be near 79th Way. The
visitor then said that they live on 79th Way now, and there is parking avail-
able in the back of the apartments, but the tenants do not use them, they
park in the street, and hot-rod up and down 79th Way. Councilman Samuelson
pointed out that Pearson's First Addition is already zoned for multiples,
so their view would be the same regardless of what went in south of there.
� Mr. Floer asked when the rezoning took place on 79th Way. Councilman
Samuelson said in about 1963. Mr. Floer said that he lived there then and
did not know about it. Mayor Kirkham told him that the City must abide by
the law in sending out Notices, and �f he did not get one, rt may have gone
someplace else, such as a contract for deed holder.

REGULAR CO�IRTCSL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1969

A visitor to the Meeting said that there would be a big traffic problem at
about 8:00 A.M. when everyone is trying to get onto East River Road going
to work. Right now it is sometimes hard to get onto East River Road. He
asked about the possibility of opening up 79th all the way to University
Avenue.
Mr. Richard Harris asked about how many acres are presently zoned M-l. The
City Engineer said about 7 acres. Mr. Harris said that this would allow
things such as a steel fabncating plant, and probably several types of
industrial uses such as this. Councilman Samuelson said yes, or businesses
like Barry Blower.
Mr. Brandt asked what kind of guide la.nes can the Council put upon the
apartments. Councilman Sheridan answered that there is a requirement for an
annual license renewal, and if there are problems, at that time the Council
can take steps for correction. If they are not corrected the Certificate of
Occupancy can be withdrawn. Mayor Kirkham added that in recent years the
Council has been much more insistant on high quality and have been including
adequate landscaping etc. and has resulted in nicer looking apartment houses.
Councilman Sheridan, in re£erring to the Petition received by the Council from
Mr. Floer, said that there were no addresses on the Petition and asked how
it can be evaluated without the addresses. Mr. Floer said that most of the
people live on 79th Way, and on north, and about two blocks across East River
Road.
Councilman Harris asked how the cars are to get from 79th Way to the back
area along the railroad tracks. Councilman Samuelson said it would be on
a dedicated street. He said that to answer some questions raised earlier,
the City is pursuing the 79th Avenue crossing across the railroad tracks,
and that siqnals are programmed for the intersection of 79th Way and East
River Road. A visitor to the Meeting asked about a crossing at 78th.
Councilman Samuelson said that the railroad companies are very restrictive
about the crossings and there is no possibility of having one there.
THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION for a delay before the determination is made was a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried
unanimously.
RECESS:
Mayor Kirkham declared a 10 minute recess at 10:00 P.M.

FROM M-1 TO C-2, GORDON SWENSON:
ST (ZOA #69-04) TO REZONE
MOTION by Councilman Lieb1 to adopt the Ordinance on first reading and waive
the reading. Seconded by Councilman Harris.
Councklman Harris asked about cleaning up the property where the antique shop
is, and said that he thought that it was a violation of the Ordinance for
permanent outside storage without some type of canopy or covering. He said
that this does not refer to this particular item under consideration, but
he would iike to see if something can be done to alean up this area. Mr.
�wenson agreed and said that it was not on his property, but would also like
to have it cleaned up. Councilman Harris asked Mr. Swenson to come in to see

Samuelson, and Sheridan voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried
unanimously.
MILES LUMBER COMPANY APPLICATION FOR A GENERAL CONTE2ACTOR'S LICENSE
Mayor Kirkham said that this license was not approved at the last Council
Meeting because of a report from the Building Inspection Department on
complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau.
A Representative of the Company said that Miles Lumber Company attends to
complaints to the best of theix ability. He said that to his knowledge
there were no complaints in the City of Fridley. The City Engineer said that
the report from the Building Inspection Department said that there were nine
complaints and that there were two in Fridley. Mayor Kirkham asked the
City Engineer if the complaints within Fridley were corrected. The City
Engineer replied that it was his anderstanding that they were taken care of.
Councilman Sheridan asked about the building 7ob report in the Agenda for
7315 East River Road, and asked if M.tles Lumber sells the garage and then
sublets the contract for construction. The Representative said yes, they
do sublet the work, but are still responsible £or the work. Councilman
� Sheridan said that then the subcontractors used must be lax in their con-
struction work. The Representative of the Company said that sometimes the
home owner does his own work, and Miles Lumber would then se11 directly to
the home owner. Councilman Samuelson said that the records show that Miles
Lumber Company took out the building permit. The Representative said that
in that case, the work was sublet. He said that he would like to point out
that when complaints are received by the Better Business Bureau, the com-
plaints go on record, but it is not recorded whether or not they were taken
care of.
Mayor Kirkham asked hirn if he was familiar wrth this particular address.
The Representative said no, but he did recall one case where a complaint was
made that a cement slab had cracked. In some cases there is nothing that
can be done about it Mr. Joe Stewart, SaLes Manager for Miles Construction
Company said that he did check out that concrete and it was nothing more
than a pock mark which had been cause by moisture in the ground. Sometimes
the settling process causes the cement to crack,yet this went on the records
as a complaint against their company, and is an example of a complaint where
there is no basis. Counmlman Sheridan said that the Council is not con-
cerned about a small crack is some cement, but rather that some collar ties
were not nailed at all and that the rafters in the ridge had to be raised.
This report came from the Building Inspection Depaxtment, not the Better
Business Bureau. This is why the Council wanted Miles Lumber Company to
come be£ore the Council. The Representative said that once notice of any
discrepancy is received, they go ovt and take care of it. Councilman
� Sheridan asked if there is any bond required for the contractors. The City
Engineer said that there is a Certifioate of Insurance required.
The Assistant City Attorney pointed out that the reason the builder is suppo-
sed to take out the building permit is for stricter enforcement. If the
lzome owner takes out the permit, then he is responsible and has no come-
back.

Councilman Samuelson said that he woul.d be willing to continue the license '
on a"one miss" basis within the City of Fridley. The Representative asked
what is meant by a complaint. Councilman Samuelson said not a slightly
cracked concrete slab, but items written up by the Building Inspection
Department for correction that are not corrected_ The Inspectors cannot
be re-checking constantly to make sure that the contractors do what they are
told to do. The Representative said this would be agreeable with him. If
they cannot take care of complaints, then they should not be in the business.
Councilman Samuelson asked him if the Building Inspector calls him on an
item, will it be taken care of. The Representative said yes.
MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to grant the extension of the General Con-
tractors License to Miles Lumber Company within the City of Fridley on the
basis that if there are any uncorrected discrepancies, the license will be
revoked. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan.. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING REZONING REQUEST OF GEORGE NELSON, INC.:
The City Engineer said that the Planning Commission had considered a
request for rezoning by George Nelson, but had denied it. Since then they
have requested an appearance before the Council.
Mr. Howard Moore, Attorney for the applicant, said that their request has
been modified because of the complaints of the residents in the area. There
is quite a lot of vacant land in this area now, and some of it has not had ,
any taxes paid on it for 5 or 6 years. The new proposal is to take the
northerly 125' abutting on Onondaga Street and divide it up into 86' lots
for residential (R-1) homes. The total depth of the property is 302', and
people do not buy 300' deep lots for single family residenses anymore. Just
south of the R-1 units the proposal is to put in between 65 to 70 units which
would generate between $30,000 to $40,000 in taxes. Just south of this, the
land is already zoned for multiples.
Councilman Harris asked how this plan differs from the one the Planning
Commission turned down. Mr. Moore said that the flrst proposal was for all
multiple zoning. Councilman Harris saa.d that as this is a new request, he�
felt that it should be returned to the Planning Commassion for their re-
consideration. Councilman Sheridan commented that this is about '� of the
rezoning request presented the first time. Mr. Nelson said that he was in-
formed that he was to make the request directly to the Council as they had
been turned down by the Planning Commission. Councilman Harr.ts saxd that this
is incorrect and he is sorry that it happened.
Councilman Samuelson pointed out that there is a cul-de-sac dedicated �ust
east of there for future development. Mr. Moore agreed that it might be of
future benefit to put in the road all the way to Hayes Street. Councilman
Samuelson said that it may prove necessary for the development of the back
lots. Councilman Sheridan asked Mr. Moore if he felt that by developing
Lots 1 through 6 to R-1, would eliminate most of the complaints. Mr. �
Moore said yes. He pointed out that the zoning along 73rd Avenue is for
multiples now, although there are some single homes and some vacant land.
Councilman Harris asked if this is platted. Mr. Moore said that this would
have to be done yet,
MOTION by Councilman Harris to refer the new rezoning request by Mr. George
Nelson back to the Planning Commission for their reconsideration. Seconded

' by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF EXCHANGE OE TAX FORFEIT LAND:
The City Manager explained that Mr. Lawrence Beumer, 7899 Broad Avenue and
Mr. Robert W. Kretlow, 7885 Broad Avenue have agreed that Lot 3, Block 1,
Hitzeman Addition would be suitable to both of them if the 92.6 X 181.3' lot
could be split to accommodate both their homes. This is on the corner of
Bacon Drive and Onondaga Street. If the corner lot was to be 80' and the
interior lot 75' wide, the reduction in lot size requirements by City Ordi-
nance would have to be waived by the Council.
Mr. Kretlow explained that there is a problem of re-mortgaging their homes if
the legal description is changed. The Assistant City Attorney said that he
would check the law requiring that there be re-mortgaging when a house is
moved from one lot to another. The Finance Director sa;d that there is
$3,034 in special assessments against this lot. Councilman Samuelson said
that he felt that everything possible should be done to assist these people.
It was agreed after considerable discussion that the City would pick up Mr.
Beumer's and Mr. Kretlow's special assessments and they would pick up and pay
off the back taxes and special assessments against the lot in Hitzeman
Addition. These could be spread over a length of time, so that they would
� not need to come up with $400 to $SDO immediately. The lot in Hitzeman
Addition is to be transferred from the County to the City, and the lot then
transferred to the owners. Mr. Kretlow said that both he and Mr. Beumer are
attempting to get SBA assistance in making their moves.
Councilman Harris said that there may be others that may want to do the same
thing. It was agreed that the City Manager is to work up a Resolution in-
dicating that in exchanges of forfeiture lots for land in the Riverview
Heights flood plain area south of Spring Brook and south of 79th Way, that
the City would pick up special assessments not to exceed $500 per property
exchanged, and that the owner would be obliged for the balance. Mr. Kretlow
said that the Building Inspector had declared only three homes movable.
Councilman Sheridan asked how the homes would fit into the area aesthetically.
Mr. Kretlow said that they were new homes built �ust before the flood of 1965.
Councilman Samuelson asked if either one of them were elegible for a G.I.
loan. They both replied that they were not.
The Finance ➢irector said that he would work with the County on tha.s ex-
change, and that they have indicated that they would be willing to help.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the exchange of property to allow the
homes owned by Mr. Kretlow and Mr. Beumer to be located on Lot 3, Block 1,
Hitzeman Addition, grant the lot split and waive the lot size requirements.
Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
� Councilman Samuelson suggested that a letter to the mortgage companies might
be helpful, explaining that the City has granted approval of the exchange, the
waiver of the lot requirements, the lot split, and that the deed would be
from the City of Fridley.
Mayor Kirkham said that he had written a letter to the Senator to see if
SBA funds could be made available.

The City Engineer said that this is at the intersection of I. 694 and East ,
River Road. He pointed out that there is a need to acquire some easements
for vehicular turnaround. There are some gravel areas which he felt should
be blacktopped. It is basically a block building, with brick only on the
pro�ected portion. He said that it is facing the freeway.
�� °�,1`
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1969 PAGE 17
, Councilman Sheridan said that he felt that the first thing you would see
when coming from the west would be the front elevation and he felt that this
should be brick. The freeway side should give a good impression.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to concur with the recommendations to grant the
permit with the stipulations imposed by the Building Board, with the additions
that the parking lot should be paved, and concrete curb and gutter be placed
around the parking areas and the rest sodded and landscaped, there should be
brick on all three sides of the office building and on the warehouse
elevation facing the freeway, and acquiring the necessary easements. Seconded
by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.
4. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A NURSING HOME ON THE N.E.
QUADRANT OF MADISON STREET AND LYRIC LAN� THE SAME BEING LOT 1, BLOCK
l, PROPOSED MAPLE MANOR ADDISION. (REQUEST BY HIGHLAND PARK DEVELOP-
MENT COMPANYI:
The City Engineer said that the changed plan was submitted to the Building
Standards - Design ContYOl Subcommittee, but they still did not feel that
the changes offered were enough of an improvement, so they denied the request.
All five of the owners of the Addition were in attendance and came forward
to the Council table for a discussion of the p1ans. Councilman Liebl said
� that he had felt that there should be some trees. The Ca.ty Engineer pointed
out that there are trees shown on the plans now. Councilman Harris said that
he had conversed with some of the Building Board members and it was their
feeling that the long expanse should be broken up somehow. He pointed out
that i'E is 250' long. Mr. Donaldson said that they made several suggestions
at the Building Board Meeting, but they were all turned down. One of the
Representatives said that they had built 13 nursing homes throughout the
country and they felt that through the use of vertical lines, the long
horizontal look is minimized. He said that on the plan it is hard to
visualize how the completed structure would look. He said that they had
already obtained approval from the Board of Health on their plans and this
takes about six months and bids have been taken on the building, so to alter
the basic construction of the nursing home would mean they would have to
start all over again. He said that the homes they have built throughout
the state have been quality homes. Through the proper use of shrubery and
the window treatment, the horizontal look is minimized without a structural
change. Councilman Harris asked about the possibilrty of breaking up the
long expanse of roof line.
There followed a discussion while looking at the plan of possible changes.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the plan and grant the permit based on
the addition of about a 52' wide by 22' deep gable cap and the use of hand
split shakes; the plan to meet the approval of the City Engineer when com-
pleted. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
' Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.

The City Engineer said that this is for the area north of Gardena Avenue and
east of Ben�amin Street. There have been problems with the property owners �
not being able to get together on whether a road should go through and if so,
where. This is the third proposed p7.at for this area. Mayor Kirkham said
that there is need of storm sewers in this area. The City Engineer said yes,
and that the drainage would go to Rice Creek Road. Councilman Sheridan
pointed out that there would be a need for some right of way. The City
Engineer said that in the past the City has put in some streets and assessed
the right of way as part of the pro�ect cost. Councilman Harris pointed out
that Lot 14 would only have 40' frontage. The City Engineer said that the
house would have to be set back. Councilman Sheridan commented that there
is some nice development in this area, but that the terrain is rough.

4. ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW:
The City Engineer said that there have been many changes and that this would
be a much better zoning Ordinance to work with. He pointed out that each
zoning district has a separate section to aid in helping the public who
would wish to only know about a particular catagory. This proposed zoning
Ordinance was given to the Planning Commission and the Council over 6 months
ago, after repeated meetings and changes and modifications. The Planning
Commission recommends approval of this revised Ordinance.
MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to receive the proposed Zoning Ordinance, and
bring it baak onto the Agenda after sufficient Council review. Seconded by

this one.
Councilman Samuelson said upon looking at the plans, that this did not come
close to what he had envisioned and that he did not like the general
appearance of the building. The City Engineer said that it would look
much like the other well houses, except for a change in the windows.

storage of trucks. He said that he would rather see more money spent and
have an adequate building upon completion. He suggested that the City
Engineer work with the Parks Director to see if some better plans could not
be drawn. Councilman Sheridan agreed, and said that he understood that the
space would be used as a park facility. Councilman Samuelson said that he
would rather see a little more imagination used and a better looking
