Lane, 1132 Mississippi Street saying that originally the estimate quoted was less than the amount of the assessment, and wondering how the problem of snow removal would be handled. Mr. Burris continued to say that last winter the sidewalks were never seen in front of his house. The children need the sidewalks in the wintertime during school, and they are not necessary in the summertime when they are clear. He said that he did not want sidewalks in the first place. Mr. Joe M. Randall, 1210 Mississippi Street presented pictures of the snow to Mayor Kirkham, and said that originally the residents only wanted curbinq, then the snow plow could plow right up to the curbing. He agreed with Mr. Burris that in the winter when the children need the side�,valks, they could not use them as they were not cleared. The City Man.ager said that he was sorry, and that it is the County responsibility to keep the street clean and that the City has had trouble coordinating the work with the County. He pointed out that the street plowing must come first. Councilman Sheridan added that there is a request before the Council tonight for authorization to purchase another snow blower and the purpose of this equipment is to clear the sidewalks. The City Manager said that this wi11 be purchased and it will be ready for the snow this winter. Mr. Randall said that mail delivery also poses a problem It is delivered by car and the sidewalks not being plowed has resulted in the people not getting their mail. He said that he understood that the assessment is based on usage, and the people do not use the sidewalk that much. He requested that the County take care of more of the cost. The Finance Director explained that with curb and gutter fhe County paid �, with the Cxty's share beinq $2.05 per foot. The cost of the sidewalks to tha residents is $2.76 per foot and to the commercial Iots $5.51 per foot, The City picks up �, of the cost of the sidewalks. There is no street surfacing assessment. A1r. Randall asked if there was any commercial land that was assessed. Councilman Sheridan said yes, and explained that the sidewalk will eventually continue east of Central Avenue to at least Arthur Street, it is not �ust a portion of sidewalk that goes nowhere, but is part of an overall plan. Mr. Randall said that this answers a question of some of the people. Mr. Randall asked if everyone Pacing Mississippi Street is paying the same amount. Councilman Sheridan said yes the residents are, the commercial and multiple dwellings pay twice that amount. Mr. Randall then asked when the interest is applied. She Finance ➢irector said £rom the date of tha.s meeting unless paid in 30 days. The City Engineer added that the total cost was over $36,000 and the people are paying less than '� the normal assessment rate for residential property.

CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN CARL HIPP AND CITX OP FRIDLEY REGARDING REZONING (ZOA #68-13) ON 69TH AVENUE: The City Manager explained that this is the agreement the Council instructed the City Enga.neer to prepare. The City Engineer said that this is the piece of property Hammerlund Enterprises started to rezone. The Council had authorized signing the agreement before� but due to the death of the man handling the rezoning, work was stopped.

WESTERLUND The City Engineer reminded the Council that this is the property that was being held up while waiting to see what the land developers to the east would be doing. Councilman Samuelson asked if this would bring it up to a specific elevation. The City Engineer said yes. He said that there is a different property owner to the south and that the City is not getting as much land from this parcel as from the Rice Creek Developers' parcel. Mr. Westerlund said that he did not know who the owner of the piece of propexty to the south is. He said that he believed that the owners of the south piece are also thinking of rezoning to multiple dwellings. Councilman Samuel- son said that the Council would like to consider the whole area together, rather than piece-meal. Mr. Westerlund asked if the Council would like him to try to pa.ck up the additional land. The City nttorney said that this ordinance could be passed on first reading with the condition that theytry to pick up the additional parcel £or City use. Councilman Samuelson said that he felt that the City should proceed with the rezoning as it would be a benefit to the Crty to tie all the land together. He would like to have the first reading tonight and the second when the land dedication is made The City Engineer suggested that an agreement could be drawn up similar to that �or the Rice Creek Developers. Mr. Westerlund said that this would be agreeable to them and asked i£ there would be a 6 month limitation then. Councilman Samuelson said that this has been standard Council policy, but the 6 months time period could Ue waived if necessary. Councilman Sheridan added that the Council felt that it should not be left open for a great length of tune, but if some progress is evident and some details being com- pleted, it could be extended. Mr. Westerlund said that he thought the six �1 'r ��4�1� a REGULAR COUNCIL PIEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 1969 PAGE 4 months would be adequate. Councilman Samuelson said that the City Engzneer , and the Assessor will work together on the ownership of the property to the soLrth and that the agreement shotxld be ready for him to pick up by the end of the week. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to approve the Ordinance on first reading and waive the reading, with the understanding that an agreement be formulated and signed before the second reading of the Ordinance.

R�CEIVING THE QUESTTONNAIRE FROM PROPERTY OWNERS AND CONSI➢ERATION OF REZONING AN➢ IMPROV�MENTS IN HYDE PARK AND CITY VIEW ADDITION: Mayor Kqrkham asked if the tabulation represented only those responding. The City Manager said yes. The City Engineer said that there were aYaout 83 letters sent out and 48 were returned. Mr. Schmedeke brought in about 22 by hand. MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to reoeive the voting tabulation sheets. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, al1 vOting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. Mrs. Marvin O'Serg, 5947 2'� Street, asked for the results to be read from the tabulation. Councilman Samuelson read them aloud, A1rs. O'Berg asked when � this wi11 Lc considered again. Councilman Samuelson said possibly it will be on the Agenda for the next regular Meeting. He said that he would like an opportunity to study the results more. Mrs. O'Berg wondered why the Council chose to count no respnnse as a yes vote. Councilman Liebl told her that the tabulation does not include the no-response votes, only those who returned the form. Mrs O'Berg questioned whether most oE the people who voted for it did not live on 2� 5tre�t. She said that in the previous discussion it was pointed out that the Ctiy is paying '� for the sidewalks on Mississippi Street� but yet the City is not paying in any way for this. She said that she under� stood that the rezoning would not go through unless there is a slip off ramp. She was afraid that the land would be taken up by small businesses and no large concern would come in. In this case, probably 2'� Street would stay the same. She said that she did not see how the sla.p off will do her any good, and that she will never benefit from this. Mr Eldon Schmedeke said that he thought that the Public Hearings were over on this rtem. The Crty Attorney said that the formal hearings were closed, Mr. Schmedeke then asked that the votes coming from Blocks 10, 23 and 26 be discounted as they are on the west side of 2'� Street and would not be assessed. Councilman Liebl said that there were some of these included in the vote and Mayor Kirkham added that at first glar.ce they seemed to about even out. These are the things that he sa�.d that he would like to study further. Mr, Schmedeke said that this was supposed to answer all the questions and that after receipt of the questionnaLre, a decision could be made soon, CONSIDERATION OF COST PARTICIPATION EOR TEMPDRARY SIGNAL AT ROBERT LOIIIS � STEVENSON SCHOOL: The City Enqineer reported that he did meet with the County and they are proceeding with a temporary signal. The arrangement was the City would pay � and the County would pay -� with the light bill to He paid by the school. [ � i�, � j� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OP OCTOBER 6� 1969 PAGL' S � This would cost the City about $3�000. The County is proceeding on an emergency basis.

Seconded by Councilman 5heridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. Councilman Sheridan asked if any of the $3000 would be recoverable on the permanent installation. The City Engineer said that he did not think so. The County doe5 not have any plans as yet. Councilman Sheridan said that on T.H. #65 both north and south of 49th Avenue thexe is a flashing amber light warning of a school crossing ahead and wondered if this could not be included in this area also, as it is located on a curve The City Engineer said that he would check this out He pointed out that both hand signals and flashing signals are illegal and are used only on an emergency basis. RECESS Mayor Kirkham declared a recess fxom 8•30 to S•54 P.M. APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR BUILDING PERMIT FOR TWO BIIILDINGS ON 79TH WAY AND EAST RIVER ROAD. (FIVE SANDS, INC.) � Mr N Craig Johnson said that the Council has already approved the concept and the plans are now completed. Approval of the plans as to the traffic has been received from �he County. FIe said that they are now ready to start the two northwest buildings. Councilman Liebl asked i£ there was some sor��of an agreement reached with �he property owners. Mr. Johnson said that the rnajor concern was traffic. There will be one opening on 79th Way and they have agreed to have the opening as far as possible to the west. The people were also concerned about parking on 79th Way and he said that there is thought being given to putting up no parking siqns on the south side of 79th Way� then no one in the complex would be parking there. The people in the area were concernad about snow removal, with the cars parked on the street. He said that he did not believe the people realized how fax back the complex will be from 79th Way and when they under- sto�od that it would be over 100 feet from 79th Way they seemed pleased. There will be riqht turns off East River Road, but no left turns onto East River Road, other than at the 79th intersection. Mr. Johnson said that there will be a road parallel to East River Road through the pro�ect. The City Engineer showed the plans to the Councll and said that all left turns will be made at 79th Way were there is a signal proposed. This will be the only exit for the complex. He said that there were a few changes in the complex since originally looked at There was origa.nally a cover provided over the swimming pool, now it is an uncovered outdoor pool. He said that the City would like to keep the complex of high quality and these facila.ties tend to keep rent higher and the � buildings well maintained There zs also a need for some easements which they have agreed to provide. Councilman Samuelson asked if there is to be a registered land survey or platting done. The City Engineer said that it is all under one ownership and is described by metes and bounds now. Councilman Samuelson asked if rt would o � �°;� , � ,<,�,� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOB�R 6, 1969 PAG� 6 not be better if platted. Mr. Johnson said that it is torrens title now and � the deed is clear, the mortgage company is satisfied with the metes and bounds description, as it is under one ownershap. Councilman Sheridan asked in answer to the questinn raised by the City Engineer, if he meant to infer that the quality is not what the City has been striving for The City Engineer said that it is of average quality, but of course lacks the river frontage like those located on East River Road, and the covered pool. Councilman Sheridan said that he did not see that it would be unreasonable to request a covered pool with this amount of units. Mr. Johnson said this is true, however, they have tried to provide more living space rather than the covering over the pool. He said that they have found that people really do not use a pool that much, as much as they would other facilities they have tried to make nicer. They felt that it would be better to use the additional funds for additional living space. There are tennis courts, party rooms, ping pong, places for children, and a sauna. He said that rt was their feeling that a covered pool would look very nice, but would not really be used that much. The City �ngineer said that they have so many other recreational facilities, it seems that the pool should be covered, Councilman Sheridan said that the Council does want them to be competitive with other communities Mr, Johnson said ttat they will try very hard to keep up to date and that perhaps in the future, the pool will be covered. Mayor P.irkham said that he would like to see the pool covered, but would have to agree with Mr. Johnson that he would not like to see any of the more important facilities sacrificed � MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize the Administration to grant a building permit for the first two buildings for Five Sands Inc. in the vicinity of 79th Way and East River Road sub7ect to easements required by the Adminis- tration.

They purchased 174' of a 200' lot. This leaves 26'. Councilman Samuelson asked what advantage there would be to the City to grant the lot split. The City Engineer x'eplied no advantage, except that it would serve to clean up the area somewhat. A representative o£ Aarris Movex's said that the property is already £enced with chain link fence on the north and south, ancl at the back there is a wooden fence.

PAUL, MINNESOTA}: The City Engineer explained that this request is for a service station in the northwest corner of Osborne Road and Universrty Avenue. The question is if the Council wishes to approve a special use permit at this site If approved, he will work with the applicant on the plans because as they are now, they do not meet the Code. Mayor Kirkham commented that he would agree with the Board � that a gas station is the only suitable structure for this intersection. Councilman Sheridan asked if the special use permit was granted� would there be a time limit involved. The Caty Engineer said that there is no limitation, the permit would be only for this company. The City Attorney added that the policy has been six months. Mr. Roger Ilstrup of Shell Oi1 requested that the six month time limit be from the time the final plans are approved. The City Attorney said that this would be after the special use permit is approved. It is to prevent a permit be�ng given and then nothing do�ne with the land. It would be between the time of granting the special use permit and the building permit.

RECEIVING THE REPORT ON ANOKA COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT PROGRAM IN FRIDLEY FOR YEAR 1970: `Phe City Engineer reported that the County plans are to widen and blacktop Osborne Road from Central. Avenue to Stinson Boulevard, Rice Creek Road from Central Avenue to Stinson Boulevard, Mississippi Street from East River Road to 2nd Street and for Main Street frcxn 43rd Avenue to 57th Avenue� the plans are for an overlay. The question is if the City would like to request anything more be done while under construction. Councilman Sheridan said that he felt that the curbing should be completed along Main Street. There are places where there is not any. Councilman Liebl asked if the Mississippi Street plans include the intersection of East River Road and Mississippi Street. The City Enga.neer said yes, and that the City is still trying to get the overpass or undexpass at the railroad tracks. The County hired a consultant, and he felt that it is not needed for the amount of traffic. He felt that as there is no bridge on Central where the traffic is greater, one is not warranted on � Mississippi either. The City's point in the discussion is that there must be provided Fire and Police protection to the other side of the railroad tracks and this is the only crossing for some distance. Helen Truenfels, a member of the audience, pointed out that the train traf£ic of the Soo line over Central cannot be compared to the Northern Pacific traffic over Mississippi Street. Mayor Kirkham said that he felt that the City should go along with the immediate improvement rather than w�xit for the underpass or overpass, which may be 10 - 20 years in the future. Councilman Sheridan commented that it is a shame that Fridley will have to sustain a loss of life or a home before the County will listen to the City's reque5t. He said that he would agree, that the City should have all four improvements the County is contemplating. Councilman Liebl asked what was the City's commitment. The Crty �ngiener said that our share would be curbing, sidewalks, and obtaining the easements. Councilman Sheridan asked about the intersection of Mississippi Street and East River Road. The Crty Engineer said that originally the plan was for the removal of the gas station, as shown on Page 69 of the Agenda, then there was an alternate provided as shown on Page 6S which would be much cheaper and would leave the gas station. The County will pay £or the improvement, but the Crty must acquire the land. Councilman liebl said that considerzng the apartment complex and the businesses located close to this corner, he felt that the total improvement of the intersection should be considered, and that leaving the gas station would not improve the bad situation at this intersecta.on. Council- man Samuelson agreed with Councilman Liebl. The City Engin,eer said that it ' would probably cost close to $100,000 to remove the gas station and do all the improvements. Councilman Samuelson felt that as long as the 7ob was going to be done, it should be done right. The City Engineer also agxeed that the plan on Page 69 is the best, but wanted to point out that it is also much more expensive. Councilman Sheridan said that he did not disagree that the total plan was the best, but questioned where the City would get $100,000 in one w � ", + !a i� ��- REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 6� 1969 PAGE 10 year. He wondered if a community of about 30,000 could �ustify a capital ' improvement The Finance Director sazd that for an improvement bond, 20°s has to be assessed. Mayor Kirkham said thank you to the City Engineer Por providing an alternate, but said that he must agree that the best improvement would be the only course. The City Attorney said that if the Council were to authorize negotiation with the property owner, and it was unsuccessful within 3 or 4 months, condemnation could be in�.tiated. He said that it may be possible to buy the land under contract spread over 5 years.
