They plan on keeping the wooded area as natural as possible. Mayor Kirkham asked if there was anyone of the audience who wished to speak, with no response. The City Attorney said that his recollection was that the residential area (LOts 34 and 35) could be used for set back, figuring total land area, but not for parking. However, if the developer and the Council both agree that it could be used for parking, it would be within the Council's 7urisdiction to make the change. There wi11 have to be some more detailed plans before the building permrt can be issued. This is the hearing on the overall p1ar,. Councilman Harris said that as pertains to Lots 32, 33, 34 and 35, according to the court stipulations, there can be no parking on these lots, but he said that he could see no problem, as long as they meet the criteria. The City Attorney said that these plans would allow the developer to make more extensive use of the land. It was stipulated that a driveway could cross these lots to get to other areas, but could not be used as a parking lot. Mr, Howz.rd Dumphy said that this was discussed with the Planning Com- mission and it was agreed that they would provide 16 additional parking � stalls to eliminate the parhing on these lots. Mr, 5olveson added that by adding these 16 stalls requested by the Planning Commission the plan comes up to the new zoning ordinance. He pointed out that there will be under- qround parking and there is a 5' chain link fence with redwood slats woven into it provided on the plans. The City Attorney said that the court made the stipulations pertaining to the four residential lots to establish basic ground rules. If both parties agree to a change, then a change could be made. Councilman Harris said that he could see no ob�ection, but he certainly did not want to go to court again, and as there are two Council Members absent, he felt that it would be better to follow the court's stipulation. Mr. Dumphy saa.d that there is a house on Lots 34 and 35 which was built in 1963. It is on two 30' lots, and has no garage. This house would become part of the complex, along with Lots 32 and 33. Councilman Samuelson asked if there is room for a garage. Mr. Dumphy said that there may be room on the northerly side, depending on any drainage easement there may be. Councilman Samuelson asked if the building permit takes in only Lots 32 and 33. Mr. Dumphy said that Lots 34 and 35 were purchased separately. Councilman Fiarris asked if it was not true that they da.d not need these additional parking spaces. Mr. Solveson said that they are providing 178 and the code requires 162. Councilman Samuelson said that personally he would like to see these nine parking stalls eliminated as long as they � are not needed to meet the requa.rements. The City Engineer pointed out that the new zoning ordinance has been adopted so they will be expected to meet the new one, when application a.s made for the building permit. The aadition of the 16 parking stalls Znstead of the 9 on the four lots in question would bring the plans up to the new zoning requirements. He � �� � REGULAR COIINCIL ME�TING OF NOVEMBER 17, 1969 PAGE 3 � pointed out that originally the proposal was for 108 units, now the overall land area has been reduced by about 10,000 square feet so th� numbeL of units should be reduced, Mr. Solveson said that he understood that under the Planned Development zoning, the Planninq Commission and the Council set the number of units. This is a completely new desiqn with a new elevation. The City Engineer said that under other zoning categories there is a minimum restriction on the number of units, and in this case there should also be some type of restriction. The Council agreed that it would be better to wait for the full Council before a decision is made coneerninq the parking on Lots 32 and 33 MOTION by Councilman Harris to close the Public Hearing on the Plan for the Planned Development District requested by IIOwasd ➢umphy Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried, and the hearing closed at 8:00 P.M. APPROVAL OF FINAL PL�T, P.S. #69-07, BRENTWOOD ESTATPS. BY TI-IOMAS SWANSON The City Engineer explained that the Public Hearing was held last weelc and there was some ob�ection to putting the traffic onto Riverview Terrace The suggestion was made to make the east-west road one way. All the land is residential, the plat merely subdivides the area into buildable lots � Mr. James Thayer, District #14 School Board, asked which way the traffic would move. The City Engineer said that it would be one way east exiting onto East River Road if approved. Mr. Thayer asked how wide the easement is. The Crty Engineer said that there is 18' existing and if there was a one way street put in, 16' black top width would be sufficient. A1r Thayer wondered how it would be maintained in the winter time. The City Engineer saa.d that it would have to be plowed the same as a freeway ramp The snowplow would either have to go onto East River Road or there could be a turn-around provided. Mr. Thayer pointed out that at one time there were some discussions held wrth the School Board on the location of the road. There were certain stipulations made and the City turned the School Board down, so as far as he knew there was no agreement in affect at this time. This proposal would af£ect the school property. The improvement would not benefit the school property, in fact it takes away some of the play area. The placement of the cul-de-sac would be where there is a ball diamond now. He said that as far as he was concerned he Pelt that this situation needed some further thought to plan for the least impact, The City Engineer asked him�what he would suggest but Mr Thayer said that this is a difficult situation and he was not in a position to make any suggestions Councilman Samuelson asked if the school needed this public access. Mr. Thayer said that they did not feel that the access has to be there, 71st Way could be used. � Councilman Harris explained that 71st Way is an intersection for which signalization is planned. Tha.s signal would serve the school and the area to the north. He said that the City and County are trying to eliminate all the left hand turns possible off East River Road Going north along Cast River Road left hand turns would be either at 71st Way or Osborne Road. �� R�GULA.R COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMB�R 17, 1969 PAGE 4 Mr. Thayer pointed out that there are a number of left hand turns now off � East River Road, Councilman Harris said that the County has hired a con- sultant to make a study from I. 694 to the northern limits of East River Road. The City has asked for the study specifically within our boundaries. The private entrances and exits will be affected by this. If a person lives on the west side of East River Road, going north they would have to go to a signal and then go back. Mr. Thayer asked if there was any idea when the study of East River Road would be ready to submit to the Council. The Crty Engineer said no, that the City has been pushinq for the improve- ments and study for the past four years. The City is also trying to get some Federal assistance through TOPICS Nir. Gordon Sangster, 7169 Riverview Terrace commented that he appeared last week as a resident of the area, not as a representative of the School. He said that to change the dir� access now used would mean that the school property would have to be changed somewhat. Councilman Samuelson commented that personally he would like to see the access to East River Road elim�na�ed and the traf£ic flow to Riverview Terrace. The City Engineer said that this is what was oxiginally proposed. The compromise suggested was for a one way street. This would cut down the traffic by =z. Councilman Harris asked if the homes on the long narrow lots directly south of the plat front on the dirt easement. The City Engineer said � yes. Ile then asked if the homes on East River Road are serviced by the easement also. The City Engineer satd no, they go directly onto East River Road. Mr. Thayer asked i£ the 18' easement comes from the long narrow lots. 'Phe City Engineer said that this is a very old easement and originally 9' from the north and 9' from the south were combined to form the easement. Councilman Narris asked Mr. Sangster if he thought the people would rather have the cul-de-sac or the one way tra£fic. Mr. Sangster said that the people feel that there wi11 have to be a street to serve the people already there, and that possibly it may have to be a cul-de-sac� but he thought the people would prefer a one way road. The City Sngineer said that the problem with that would be if people want to go north, they would have to make a full turn around. There wi11 be a median in East River Road. Councilman Harris questioned what if the cul-de-sac was off- set. Mr Thayer pointed out that when talking of a cul-de-sac, this is where the ba11 field is. At this point Mr, Sangster and Mr. Shayer approached the Council table for a discussion of the possibilrties. Councilman Harris asked if the easement could be closed on East River Road and access p'rovided from RivervieW Terrace. Then the easement on East River Road would have to be barricaded. The City Attorney felt that the proper step would be to talk to the people living on the long narrow lots south of the plat first, MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the plat as presented and ask the Administration to do what is necessary to resolve the easement on the south � side of the plat by either a cul-de-sac, one way street� and barricades� and vacate the remainder of the easement after the cul-de-sac or barricade is in place. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayo-r Kirkham declared the motion carried. The City Engineer said that there is a small portion st�ll needed from the school and asked Mr. Thayer if there would be any problem. Mr, Thayer said said that he could not answer for the School Board, but he saw no problem. � �! REGULAR COUNCIL MEETIPiG OF NOVEMBL�R 17� 1969 PAGE 5 � APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT, P.S. #69-11� ANDERSON DEVELOPMENT BY ANDERSON TRUCKING SERVICE, INC.� MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to approve the final plat Anderson Develop- ment, requested by Andexson Trucking Service Inc. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FROM VSLLAGE OF HILLTOP FOR FIRE PROTECTION: The Fire Chief reported that he could see no great problem. I-Ie said that some of his men could not see why the City of Pridley should protect Hilltop� but it was his £eeling that if the City were to provide pro- tection to Hilltop for 10 years they could pay for a new pumper, which is needed. He asked that if the Council decided to provide the pxotection, that it go back to the Fire Department for a final vote. Councilman Harris asked i£ f2gures were discussed wrth Hilltop. The Pire Chief said that the $3500 stand-by was discussed and it would be $150 per call to help pay for the gas, oil, man power etc. The City Manager added that it was felt that there should be some agreement so that the Crty equipmeni would not be tied up in Hilltop in the event of a fire within our own City. The Fire Chief agreed that the first obliqata.on would be to the City o£ Eridley, and that all the equipment is never put out on a call. This pzoposed contract may mean five or six addita.onal calls per year, and would mean more paper work � for him. He said that he would like some oF the Council to attend the meeting of the Firemen on Thursday, 7:OD P.M. Mayox Kirkham said that he felt that before the Council made a decision, the Fire Department should have their meeting. The Fire Chief said that Hilltop currently has a contract with Spring Lake Park for fire protection for $2800 a year and their contract is about to run out. Councilman Harris felt that the new pumper is needed and whether or not the City enters into an agreement with Hilltop should not be a determining factior. Mr. Carl Paulson asked what affect this would have on insurance. The Fire Chief answered none, and pointed out that the City of Fridley has had a contract with them before. Mayor Kirkham felt that if a contract is entered into, rt could run for five years, so that they would be assured of fire protection, however, the rate should be negotiated annually. The City's costs may go up within five years time.

DISCUSSION OF AIR POLLUTION• (Carl Paulson) Mr. Carl Paulson said that there has been a lot of work done on a pro- posed air pollution Ordinance and plans to eliminate burning. He has wondered what seems to be the hinderance in not passing the Ordinance. Coluznbia Heights has now eliminated burning, and their garbage hauling �.s costing them less. They have let a contract to a company and they use two trucics to pick up Mayor Kirkham said tho_t garbage pick up is not included in the proposed Ordinance the City of Fridley has. He pointed out that Pridley was one of the first communities to start working on a burning ban The proposal did not meet with the total approval of everyone concerned. It has been set aside until there is more interest in passage. The City Manager reported that he had been in contact with the City Manager of Columbia Heights regarding their garbage pick up system. They have met some resistance along the lines of persons havinq the right to dispose of the garbage by hauling it themselves. Then the City cannot charge for the service. Tne Attorney General has ruled that a City cannot deny people � the right to haul for themselves if they wish. He said that he has ob^ tained some of the facts and figures from Columbia Heights to add to the City's study. Mr. Paulson said that he would like to see this brought back for Counczl action soon. Dlayor Kirkham said that he agreed. The City Attorney commented that the City o£ Blaine now has a municipal garbage collection system.

There is a 50' easement on the westerly side of the Target property. The general thinking was that they will blacktop the street to their service entrance. A representative said that they have agreed that they will be upgrading the street, and will also be putting in curbing on the parking lot in the spring. The Crty Engineer said that there is about 300' from their service entrance to Locke Park that should be blacktopped. �, �� ;� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 17 1969 PAGE 7 � MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the plans for the Dayton-Target warehouse.

Councilman Harris said that in 1966 the Council moved to hire an appraiser to appraise some open space in the north end of the Czty, with the thought in mind of applying for a grant. This was done, the City Manager drew up the papers and appeared before the Metropolitan Counczl. The open space grant was forthcoming from the Pederal and State funds in excess of $100,000 An up-dated appraisal was ordered and is now completed.

Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. DISCUSSION R�LATIVE TO MASTER US� AGRE�MENT BETWEEN N,S.S.S.D. AND MEMBER CONN4UNITICS• AND CONSIDERA.TION OF R$SOLUTION CONCURRING WITH SUGGESTE➢ CHANGES IN MASTER US� AGREEMENT: � Councilman Harris reported that he was appointed to a committee with Mr. � Richard Johnson and Mr. David Larson, of the North 5uburban Sanitary Sewer Board to develop a plan of District position at the time of take over. The plan involved cominq up with a zero balance in the District at the time the Metropolitan Sewer Board takes over. The essence of the dis� cussion goes far beyond what is proposed here. What has Ueen proposed is the elimination of the connection charges, forgiving those connection charges that were made after January l, 1969. There is a N.S.S.S.D. financial position shown, showing the District will maintain it's solvency� and pay all it's obligations through 1970. The Board set a hearing date for December 23, 1969 to request the wmmunities to approve a change that would eliminate the connection charges retroactive to January 1, 1969. In doing so, because of the timing, whereas the Sewer Board can take over the N S.S.S D. after Sanuary l, 197D, or during that calendar year, it is necessary that the communities approve the change prior to the hearing so the hearing wi11 have the concurrance of the member communities. There is a resolution in the papers received by the Council amending Ordinance #1 and thcre is another resolution for each of the member communitites relative to passing the resolution arid also some wording as to how the schedule of charges will bedeveloped, and the changes in the Master Use Agreement, It is worded in such a manner that forgiveness of these connection charges is done on the basis that they are not passed on to the successor so they cannot be shown as accounts payable from the member communities when the Sewer Board takes control. Councilman Harris asked the City Attorney i£ he had a chance to look it over and the City Attorney replied he had not� but he sugqested laying it over until the next Meeting to allow time for review� � since action at this tzme is not necessary. If the hearing is Deceznber 23rd, the Meeting of December lst will be soon enough. � � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETIPiG OE PdOVEMHER 17, 1969 PAGE 9 Councilman Harris suggested the Administration and the City Attorney going through the wordinq of this supplement and changes in the P4aster Use Agree- ment to see if the wording is clear and that the Czty Attorney agrees. Councilman Harris pmnted out that ,�9 and #1D of the agreement have not been completed. The committee is still working on them and will continue to do so until completed. The Master Use Agreement is putting the City in much the same position as with the Supplemental Agreement. Councilman Samuelson asked if the funds that have already been paid in for REC charges and being held by the City will then be refunded to the user. Councilman Harris poznted out that there is a court case pending relative to the REC charges and the District is requesting the City to pay. If the change is made in the Master Use Agreement, it is a forgiveness for all REC charges owing and it would absolve the responsibility. Councilman Samuelson said that in that case would not the funds the City currently has,in escrow be refunded back to the people who made the original payment. Councilman Harris said that he understood that was the Council's intent. He explained that what is being done, to determine a zero balance, the committee has gotten all the funds of the District lined up. In doing so the committee is working to determine a percentaqe share of each com- munities equite based on paid up capital. He said he would recommend approval after it has been examined by the Council, Administration and the City Attorney MOTION by Councilman Harris to receive the information from the North Suburban Sanitary Sewer District and ask the Administration and the City Attorney to review and report back to the Council at the next Council Meeting Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. It was agreed by the Council that the Adminstration is to review �he Master Use Agreement and draw up a resolution for inclusion in the Agenda for the Meeting of December l, 1969.

The City Engineer explained that the first reading of the Ordinance for rezoning has been held and the second reading was held up pending receipt of an executed agreement. This completed agreement has now been received by the City. He showed the plans for the development to the Council and sazd that they are requesting 274 units rather than the original 312, and the plans include 36 town houses. It was his opinion that the town houses will help to make the area take on more of a residentaal nature. The developer also feels that the town houses will be an asset. There is a 160 foot north-south strip of land that will be used for public recreation and will include a tennis court, sled area, barbeque, playground equipment, basketball court, sand box etc, and the complex wi11 have a swimming pool for the tenants. A public easement will provide access to the open space to the south. He said that the developers have trzed to leave the wooded area in it's natural state as much as possible. The plans for the recreational facilitxes have been supplzed to �he Director of Parks and Recreation and the agreement is that the developer will put in the facilities for the recreation, but it will be for public use and the City will maintain them. � � � � � � REGULAR COUNCIL MEPTING OF NOVEMBER ]7, 1969 � :� PAGE 11 MOTION by Councilman Harsis to appsove the concept far the Rice Creek Development.

He felt that this is the type of signal that should be a.nstalled. Councilman Harris sugqested that arrows for the east-west traffic on Mississippi Street for left hand turns are needed and could be included in the outline.
