CONSIDERATION OF D�VELOPMENT PLAN OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PD #68-10)
HOWARD DUMPHY:
The City Engineer reviewed the past information by stating that the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the plan with the recommendation that the
two southerly lots not zoned Planned Development under question be used for
the 9 parking spaces, with adequate barriers and including the house to the
north within the complex. He said that he wanted to bring to the Council's
attention that the land area ratio does not meet the requirements for an R-3
zoning. In R-3 zoning, there should be 2500 square feet per unit and under
� this development rt would be about 2370 square feet per unit. He questioned
whether the Council, if they allowed this, would have to grant a waiver of
unit - land ratio. Councilman Samuelson asked if the creek was taken into
consideration when figur�ng the land ratio. The City Engineer said that the
creek is within the PD deve�.opment and is considered part of the complex. He
showed the area on the screen and presented the plan on the easel. He
pointed out that there are some streets that will have to be vacated if the
plan is adopted. By the standards for other multiple districts there should
only be 104 units, and this plan has incorporated 108 He wondered whether
additional land could be designated to the apartment phase from the commercial
phase of the development to meet the land area requirements.
Mr. J. Solverson, 5025 Lyndale Avenue South, said that he understood that the
Council could set the number of units within a PD District without any
waivers. The Planning Commission recommended going along with the 108 unrts
and this makes a nice, symmetrical complex. If the number of units were
changed, it would be difficult to retain the symmetry of the complex. The
City Attorney said that in a Planned Development District, there are no
stated density requirements. The Council has set in the past, the same
requirements as in other multiple areas within the City. This has been policy
in the past, and a formal waiver would not be necessary. Councilman Sheridan
said that as long as this is not a complete plan for PD, should there not be
a complete plot plan for the area encompassing the complex. If the property
north of the creek is to be used for a speci£ic purpose it should be so
� stated on a plan by a registered engineer. Mr Howard Dumphy said that he has
presented a total plan for both sides of the creek. The dispute has been the
9 parking spaces and this seems to be what the discussion is down to The
City Attorney said that a.t could be designated as Tract A and Tract B. Mr
Dumphy said that it is referred to as Phase 1 and Phase 2, for the respective
areas north and south of the creek.
��
REGUI,AR COUNCIL MEFTING OF DECEMBER 15� 1969 PAGE 3
Councilman Samuelson said that he could see no problem in designating that �
land to be used for commercial. Mr Dumphy said that the whole area will
have to be surveyed by a registered surveyor to satisfy his mortqage
company, but first he would like to have the overall plans approved. He
understood that this was to be the next step. He said that he has been
trying to get this approval since November 17th, but there has never been a
fu11 Council so they would not act. He said that if he does not get approval
soon he will lose the option on the mortgage commitment and it will cost him
considerably more. He said that he understood that he still has to go
through all the regular procedures for getting a building permit and that he
wi11 have to go back through the Building Board, but first he need the con-
cept approval so he can go ahead and get the land and have it surveyed. The
City Engineer suggested that there could be an agreement between the developer
and the City to designate exactly which areas, by 1ega1 description, would be
used for multiple dwellings and which would be used for commercial. The
City Attorney agreed. Mr. Dumphy said that he has agreed that the tenant of
the house included in the complex should be the owner rather than a renter.
Councilman Samuelson pointed out that in Coon Rapids their Planned Develop-
ment District Ordinances leaves a 10% leaway in the number of units required
in a complex per land area, as does Fridley's
Mr. Solverson said that between the complex and the residential area they
plan on putting in a 5' redwood fence and evergreens� such as juniper. Acxoss
the front there will be another row of hedges, barberry perhaps. The have �
tried to leave the area alonq the creek as natural as possible. Councilman
Sheridan asked what the booklet said about designated land use. The City
�ngineer said that the booklet designates the land for commercial and apart-
ments. Councilman Sheridan asked without a commitment by legal description�
what protection does the Council have that that portion designated for
commercial will stay commercial in future years? What would prevent another
apartment house from going in? The designation should be done by legal
description. Councilman Samuelson said that his understanding of Planned
Development is that it is done in stages. If a second plan should come in�
as apartments, it would be re7ected. The City Attorney said that the building
is done by stages, but the total plan is adopted at one time. Sf there were
any chanqes �ade, the overall plan would have to be modified. Mr, Dumphy
said that the booklet designates the overall p'roperty for area for parking�
multiple dwellinqs, and commercial. It would be imposszble to change the
apartments as there is no other place to put them. Councilman Sheridan said
that he was referring to the chance that the commercial would become another
apartment buildxng. Mr, Dumphy said that then he would have to go back be�oxe
Planning Commission and Council again for any change. The City Engineer saxd
that they plan on starting w�,th the apartments from Apri1� 1970 to 1971, and
the commercial from 1971 to 1972. Councilman Liebl commented that he would
like to see the land be developed to the best oE Mr. Dumphy's ability. He
had no objections to the northerly land use. Mr. Dumphy said again that
he has a mortgage commitment and unless this goes through soon� he will have
to shop for other financing at a higher rate. Under Planned Development,
everything has to go in sequence, and this, he felt, is exactly what he has �
been trying to do. After the approval� the exact plans have to be drawn £or
the Building Board's approval, and then the Council�s approval. He said tfiat
it seems that he cannot get concept approval. Since November 17th� this plan
has been held up because oP the 9 parking spaces. Councilman Liebl said that
it had been tabled because there was not a full Council present, Ae said that
T7
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 15� 1969 PAGE 4
� he was disappointed that Councilman Harris is not present, and added that he
believed that Councilman Harris is in favor of this proposal. Mr. Dumphy
said that this land is not conducive to single famzly residences. This is
the hzghest and best use. He said that he felt that enough information has
been supplied to enable the Councilmen to vote, so that he could go ahead.
Councilman Liebl said that he was impressed with the original presentation of
the plans, but if he had to vote tonight, without the stipulation regarding
the land use by legal description, he could not do it. FIe said that he has
reservations regarding the protection of the residents in the area. He said
that he would like to go over the plans thoroughly wrth the City �ngineer before
the vote.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to table this item until a fu11 Council is present.
Mr Solverson said that if there were any recommendations Councilman Liebl
would like to make, to please come forward with them. Councilman Liebl said
that his only question would be what if Mr, Dumphy were no longer the owner,
could another owner come in with a new plan with apartments for the whole
area Councilman Liebl asked if the approval of the plans required a 4/5
vote. The City Attorney said a ma7ority vote was required. The Court
stipulated that the land not within the district could be used for other
uses such as parking. This is what the applicants have done and the next
step is the approval by the Council.
� Councilman Sheridan commented that he has been one of the stumbling blocks to
this development. Originally, a different plan was sold to the people
involving town houses.
THE MOTION by Councilman La.ebl to table� was seconded by Councilman Sheridan,
Upon a voice vote, Sheridan and Liebl voting aye, Kirkham and Samuelson voting
nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion FAILED.
Mayor Kirkham said that now there is a proposal on paper and he would like some
action on it He said that he would like to see Mr. Dumphy keep his mortgage.
If there are any changes the dissenting Councilmen would like to make,
please speak up. To continue tabling this item accomplishes noth�ng. Council-
man Liebl said that he had no intention of tabling this indefinitely, but
that he would like action by a fu11 Council. He would also like the oppor-
tunity of going over the plans with the City Engineer. At this point, he
felt that there was not sufficient protection for the people in the area.
They are the ones that will have to live with it. He said that he was not
trying to be arbitrary, but wanted fu11 protection. He felt that a two
week delay would not make that much difference, Mr. Dumphy said that two
weeks would make a difference with his mortgage He said that he had spent
two years on this pro7ect so far. Counci�man Sheridan said that this has not
been before the Council for two years, but rather a month.
Mr. numphy said that as to the legal description requested, that is all
covered in the booklet which has been provided Councilman Sheridan asked if
� this description would take 104 units, and the City Engineer said yes. Mr
Solverson said that to reduce the number of units would require redrawinc�
_ the entire plans on their part. The City Attorney commented that there was
nothing ,n the court stipulation on the number of units, and that the Council
can set these requirements. Mr. Solverson pointed out that the Planning Com-
(�
REGULAR COUNCIL ME�TING OF DECEMBER 15� 1969 PAGE 5
mission approved the complex with 108 units and if it were to be reduced, ,
the recommendation should have come from that body. Councilman Samuelson
pointed out the l0o factor and the City Attorney read from the Planned
Development Ordinance that part which pertains to the leaway allowed. Mr.
Solverson pointed out that he could have said 104 units and with the final
plan have had 108 and still have been within the 10% leaway. He said that
he felt that they have followed the Code to date. Councilman Liebl said
that they were not following the Code or they would have had 104 units. Mr.
Solverson said that to redraw the plans would mean a delay of another six
months. Councilman Liebl said that his biggest concern would be that another
apartment house may be pushed in there. The City Attorney said that PD does
not permit industry or single family residences, and requires approval of the
Council. The construction can proceed in stages but each staqe must be ap-
proved by the ma�ority of the Council. Mayor Kirkham commented that it would
be permissible to redraw the line between the commercial and residential to
come up with enough land area in the multiple portion for the 108 units. The
City Engineer said that this would then reduce the size of the commercial
structures. The City Attorney pointed out that the applicant can still vary
l0o after the plan is approved. Mr. Solverson commented that he would think
that the Council would want to see the best building possible in there and it
is their feeling that the building utilizing the plan for 108 units is the
best. Councilman Samuelson said that there has to be some degree of flexi-
bility for the architect to work within. Mr. Solverson said that they could
not come back in with anything, such as 11D units, without redrawing their
plans again. The Crty Engineer pointed out that if these plans should fa11 �
through, the Ordinance has already been passed, but a new set of plans would
still have to be approved. Mr Dumphy said that if he were to take meaningful
square footage and add to the residential site, it would mean taking the house
off He said that they might then run into trouble with the commercial
portion. Ide said that there may be trouble with the legal descriptions if
this were done The Crty Attorney asked if there would be any advantage in
taking the house of£ and Councilman Liebl said that the house was to act as
a buffer. Counc1lman Liebl aslced Mr Potts if he had any comments as a
resident of the area Mr. Potts answered that there is another house bet-
ween his and the one in question. He said that he thought that it was too
many units and that he still had reservations concerning the traffic problem
as was brought out at the Public Hearing. The original plan sold to the people
was for town houses, and he said that he could not help wondering how much
further Mr. Dumphy will deviate from the original proposal. He asked
Councilman Samuelson if he had ever taken a poll of the feeling of the people
in the area and Councilman Samuelson answered that he had not. The City
Attorney said that the Council must operate with�n the law and this is a
matter of what can and cannot be allowed within the Ordinances. There is
a point beyond which the Council cannot go. There should be an attempt made
to come to a satisfactory agreement between the land owner and the Council.
Mr. Dumphy said that he has already agreed to give a strip of land along East
River F.oad. He said that he has tried to take a piece of land that has laid
dormant many years and make it a money making, tax paying operation. He said
that for the length of time he has tried to move, he felt that there should
be some action under the Ordinance, It is not his fault that there has not �
been a fu11 Council. CouncLlman Liebl said that he did not feel that his
request for time to go over the plans with the City Engineer was an un-
reasonable one. xe said that he was not ready to vote as yet. When this plan
originally started, it was for town houses. This pro�ect will be in the area
��

for a long time, and he wanted to be sure that it was something the people
could live with
Mayor Kirkham said that the solution was no closer than when they started. He
advised Mr. Dumphy that to put it to a vote now would mean failure, so it would
be better for his interests to try one more time.

The City Manager reported that he had received some calls complaining of the
burning being done by Carl Bolander off the Marshall Street right of way. They
are turning the land over to N.S.S.S D. He said that the Fire Department would
like some guidelines to work within in the giving out of permits. At some later
date there may be an Air Pollution Ordinance to use. The State Statutes super-
cedes the City's burning Ordinance. Councilman Sheridan asked if this would
limit open burning. The City Manager said yes, within so many feet of a struc-
ture. It would not eliminate the burning barrels as yet. Councilman Samuelson �
suggested making it only pertain to commercial operations until the Air
Pollution Control Ordinance is adopted. Councilman Sheridan said that the
Bolander fire was billowing black clouds of smoke. The City Attorney said that
it could be seen from downtown Minneapolis. Councilman Sheridan asked if this
was a standing permit or if they apply every time they burn, and was answered
that it is a standing permit.

1052 OSBORNE ROAD N E.� FRIDLEY� MINNESOTA)
The City Engineer said that the permit approval was recommended subject to the
stipulations found in the Building Board Minutes. It is a duplication of the
existing building, but a smaller size. It will look like the other building.
Theywill face each other and use a common driveway.
Councilman Samuelson wondered if anything could be done to ensure maintenance.
The City Attorney said that the City has strict control before the permit is
issued, but there is not too much that can be done after the building is built,
except appeal to the owner's pride The noxious weeds can be cut down, but
mowing the grass has to be the owners responsibil�ty. They have landscaping on
the plans, but after the shrubs are put in, he abandons them,

Allied Aluminum building. It will almost double the existing capacity. The
requirements are set forth in the Minutes of the Building Board. Councilman
Liebl asked why the change in the dimensions and Mr. Spencer Holle answered

The �lnanace D�rector said that he was not ready as yet to make a recommendation.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the bids for workmen's compensation
insurance and table the award until the evaluation is completed. Seconded by
Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kzrkham declared
the motion caxried.
DISCUSSION REGARDING INTERSECTION OF HICKORY DRIVE AND EAST RIVER ROAD:
The City �ngineer explained that there is a request before the Board of Appeals
for a Special Use Permrt to allow a double bungalow on this corner. The reason
for bringing this to the attention of the Council is because there is some
right of way that should be acquired. The suggestion is to make Hillcrest
Avenue a service road to East River Road, extend it to Hickory Drive, and take
a triangle from the southwest corner of Lot 1, Block l, Ostman's Third Addition
for alignment to East River Road and 71st Way, where there is to be signalization.
If this is done there would be 40' right of way needed for the Hillcrest Avenue,
Hickory Drive intersection. Hillcrest is a dedicated roadway� and there is
about 50' between �ast River Road and Hillcrest, where there are water and
sewer easements. If Hillcrest Avenue were to become a service drive it would
probably be a 26' roadway along the westerly portion of the right of way to
allow as much as possible of the street to be used by the property owners to the
east as yard. Hillcrest goes to 73rd Avenue now. The owner is agreeable to
giving both the easements. He was granted permission for the double bungalow
previously in 1965 and now he is going through the request again,
MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to direct the Administration to acquire the
necessary right oP way from Lot 1, Slock 1, Ostman's Third Addition to make
Hillcrest Avenue a service road and connect to Hickory Drive,and the south-
west corner of the lot at the intersection of I3ickory Drive and East River Road
for the alignment of Hickory Drive to 71st Way, and designate Hillcrest
Avenue as a service road to serve all present and future homes on Hillcrest
Avenue. Seconded by Councilman Liebl Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion carried.
DISCUSSION REGARDING REQU�ST FOR NO PARKING SIGNS ON I. 694 OUTER DRIVE, SKYWOOD
COURT AREA (By Ed Berq)
Councilman Sheridan said that there was a complaint on the parking on this
street, which is especially bad during the winter season. The plows can only
plow =z of the street. He wondered if something could be worked out with the
Highway Departrnent. The Fire Prevention Bureau Chief said that conditions are
bad behind the building also. It is impossible to get the fire apparatus
through.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to table this item pending a recommendation by
the Administration on possible changes. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a
voice vote a11 voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
DISCUSSION REGARDING CHANG� IN STATE STATUTES RAISING THE LIMIT OF BUYING WITHOUT
CALLING BIDS:
The City Manager explained that the State Statutes now authorize purchases up to
�
'
�
���
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 15� 1969 PAGE 10
� $5000 without advertisement for bids. Sealed bids would be taken for new
equipment and new construction for items under $5000. A minimum of 2 bids or
quotations on items or services would be required except for non-competitive
items on items or services available from only 1 or 2 sources. Sealed bids or
quotations for repair or maintenance or in con�unction with an emergency involving
health or welfare would be taken if the item is less than $5000. �xceptions
would be non-competitive items available from only 1 or 2 sources. Whenever
possible wrrtten quotes would be taken and if rt is an emergency and oral quotes
axe taken, written quotes still must be submitted and kept on file.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to concur with the report of the City Managcr.
Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
DISCUSSION REGARDING CITY ENGINEER MEMORANDUM CONCFRNING PRINTER•
The City Engineer explained that their printer is outdated and there is money
left in the 1969 budget which could be used for the purchase of a new printer
used for plans. According to the State Statutes it is no longer necessary to go
out for bids for this item. The quotations are to be found in the memorandum
dated December 11, 1969. The printex from H.A. Rogers does not meet the
specifications regarding speed. The printers from Copy Equipment and Albinson's
do meet the specifications and he recommended purchasing the printer from Copy
Equipment as rt costs less and the machine is comparable.
� MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize the purchase of a Dietzgen Copymation
Model 300 Sword at a list price of $2,930.00 less $250.00 for trade in for the
present printer, leaving a net price of $2,680.00; also a high-low intensity
lamp for $75.00 making a total of $2,755.00 from Copy Equipment. Seconded by
Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.
DISCUSSION REGARDING CARL BOLANDER AND SONS CO., VERSUS CITY OF PRIDL�Y, IN
REFERENCE TO SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS:
The City Attorney said that he had asked that this item be put on the Agenda. This
is a law suit dating back to 1962, concerning their payment of special assessments
The pro7ect was constructed during the year of 1960. For some reason the spreading
of assessments and the notice of hearing was not held until 1962. The assess-
ment hearing was the first notification Mr. Bolander had of the assessment. The
City Attorney said that he did not feel there was any 1iklihood of winning the law
surt. The payment of the assessments levied for Water and Sewer Improvement
Pro�ect #50 were paid under protest.
Councilman Sheridan asked if the City would have the right L-o hold another
reassessment hearing. The Crty Attorney said not after this amount of time.
Councilman Liebl said that as they have paid under protest, he did not think the
City should pay any interest. The Crty Attorne_y said that he would try to
negotiate on this basis. This would amount to a substantial amount of interest.
' Councilman Samuelson said that he felt that the City should pay him the money
as it could be proven in court that he never got a notice until two years afL-er
construction_ Mr. Richard Harris volunteered the information that this line was
put in to serve the Czty Liquor Lounge on 37th Avenue. He said that he did not
receive any not�f�cation until two years after the construction either. The
��

City Attorney asked if Mr. Bolander used the Pacility and Mr. Richard Harris ,
replied no. Councilman Sheridan asked if there was ever an assessment for water
and sewer mains and the Finance Director said yes, this law suit is for a
lateral assessment. Councilman Sheridan said that he would agree with Council-
men Liebl that 6% interest should not be paid. He also questioned the wording
of the second stipulation, and said that it should specify for this project
only there will not be assessments levied. The way it reads it would mean any
future assessments could not be placed,
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize the refund o£ the special assessments
provided Mr. Bolander is agreeable that no interest be paid during the period
he made payments in protest. Also that the agreement be changed to provide
the levy of assessments not be permanently removed from the assessment rolls,
but that this agreement shall pertain to only the specific special assessments
involved in this instance, Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayar Kirkham declared the motion carried.
CONSIDERATION OF CALLING FOR BIDS FOR GENERATOR FOR EMERGENCY POWER:
The Crty Manager explained that this would be a generator requested by Civil
Defense for the operation of Crty Hall in an emergency. Councilman Liebl asked
if this would be adequate for the whole building. The Civi1 Defense Director
said for everything, except the air condrtioning. The criteria was established
by the archrtects for Ci_ty Hall, but then it was deleted from the construction.
The specifications are figured without the air conditioning, as with the air �
conditioning, it would be prohibitive to this operation. He said that these
specifications were not made by him. He said that he has met with an Engineer
from Onan's and has given the plans to the City mechanic as they are relative to
an internal combustion engine. Iie was satisfied with this unit. He has given
the plans to the Electrical Inspector also to look at the alternator. He
indicated the speci£ications were general and could be met �e any responsible
bidder There is a good safety margin. Councilman Sheridan asked if rt would
be operated periodically and the Civil Defense Director said yes, it would be
checked, probably, before regular office hours.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize calling for bids for a generator
for City Hall for emergencies. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried,

DISCUSSION R�GARDING RIGHT OF WAY COSTS FOR IMPROVING TH� TEMPORARY DIKE IN
RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS AREA UNDER ST 1969-3
The City Engineer said that he wanted to bring to the attention of the Council the
fact that the figures given to the people at the Public Hearing did not include
�Q
REGOLAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 15� 1969 PAGE 17
the cost of acquisition oP right of ways. At that time it was thought that the ,
land would be donated. The Council designated that the right of ways should be
paid for as all the right of ways could not be obtained free, so zt was felt
that everyone should be paid, The cost of the pro7ect is now about $65,000.
There has been about $3300 expended for the right of ways to date. The people
on Riverview Terrace feel that there should also be reimbursed for the lost
trees and shrubbery at a cost of about $300 per tree. The City Attorney commented
that the apprazsers will probably award for considerably less than the people
are asking for. The City Engineer said that there is money left zn the general
fund and the Public Works fund for 1969. He wondered if some oE this money
could not be used for right of way acquisition for the dike easements. He
warned that the people in the area will be upset when they find out their
assessments. Councilman Sheridan asked how much over the estimate this was.
The City �ngineer said that the pro7ect came in about 20°o higher than the engin-
eering estimate and there could be $10,000 to $15,OD0 for the right of way
acquisition. There are about 27 property owners involved. Councilman Sheridan
suggested another hearing to apprise the people of the new fiqures. The City
Attorney advised waiting for the commissioners awards so that more exact figures
could be given. People will be getting cash for their property which should
help somewhat, even though they will be assessed at a higher rate. The City
Engineer said that the Street Department will not be using all the funds they
still have le�t Councilman Liebl said that he was grateful that the City
Lngineer brought this up. The people were advised that the pro7ect wi11 cost
more if condemnations must be made. Councilman Samuelson questioned the wisdom
of taking funds from the General Fund and thought that they should come from ,
the Public Works fund. Councilman Liebl pointed out that the maintenance is much
more costly in this area. Councilman Samuelson said that the improvement would
reduce the maintenance costs 7ustifying the use of the funds, The City Engineer
suggested settzng aside $10,000 for use on this project. The acquisition costs
would be about 200 of the total project cost. He pointed out that there was
also the question of how much Federal funds would be forthcoming,
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize the Adm�nistration to remove from the
Public Works budget the sum of about $10,000 to be applied to the construction
