on 61st Avenue and University Avenue. The City Manager said that a letter
was received today from the Highway Department stating that they are in
agreement and that they should be installed in the near future, subject
to funds available. The visitor asked about the service �oad. The City
Manager said that there has been nothing back fr�n the Shel.l Oil Campany
for the necessary dedications. This service road will be the result of
many meetings with Shell Oil Company.
ORDINANCE NO. 458 - AN ORDINANCE REGULATING BURN.ING, ADOPTING THE AIR
POLLUTION REGULATIONS OF THE MINNESOTA POLLUTION C�JNTROL AGENCY BY REFER-
ENCE; PROVIDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STORAGE AND COLLECTION OF REFUSE;
REPEALING ALL OF CHAPTEP. 33 OF THE CITY CODE; AND PROVIDING PENALTIE5 FOR
VIOLATIONS OF THE PROVISIONS T:3EREOF:
Councilman Liebl asked about the fine. It states that they would be guilty
of a mis3emeanor and sur�ject to a fine of not exceeding $300.00. The City
Attorney said that the fizie is at the discretion of_ the judge. It could
be anywhere from $1.00 to $300. There is no automatic amount. Conceivably
if the violation continued for a month the fine �ould be $9,000.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to adopt Ordinance #458 on second reading, waive
the reading and order publication. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan for
discussion.
Councilman Sheridan said that inasmuch as this ordinance is different than
the one passed on first xeading with the addition of the repealer, the
motion to adopt the ordinance should be amended.

ordinance to include the repealer clause. Seconded by Councilman Breider.

and Breider voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.

Elm disease, it states that elm trees cannot be transported, and must be
destroyed by fire in place. He wondered how this could be done under the
present burning ordinance. The City Manager agreed that the trees cannot
be transported as this would spread the beetles. Mayor Kirkham said that
the Administration would check into this discrepancy.

PAGE 3
Councilman Sheridan said that he had asked three different people and they all
turned the offer down. He asked that if the rest of the Council Membexs
have any people in mind, to let him know.
Mayor Kirkham said that he would like to submit the name of Theron Horn,
159 63rd Way N.E. for the Human Relations Committee. He 5aid that he has
been a resident of Fridley for about 9 years and is vitally interested in the
work of the Human Relations Committee.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to concur in the appointment of Theron Horn,
159 63rd Way N.E. to the Human Relations Committee. Seconded by Councilman

DISCUSSION REGARDING ACQUISITION OF EASEMENT ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF
JEFFERSON AND 58TH AVENUE, AND RECEIVING PETITION NO. 5-1970 IN OPPOSITION TO
ASSESSMENT:
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive Petition NO. 5-1970. Seconded by
Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
The City Engineer explained that last year the Council held the hearing for
the improvement. There was opposition to the assessment from the people on
the east side because they did not feel that they would be receiving any
benefit. Now they have come back with the same petition as last year. He
said that in regard to the acquisition of the easement from Mr. Edward A.
Marciniak on the northwest corner of his property, first Mr. Marciniak
agreed to give the land free, then the next day he said that he needed some
money for the land given. The City Engineer said that he told him that
figuring $5,000 for his lot, he thought that the easement would be worth
$50.00 and would recocnmend this to the Council, along with agreeing to re-
locate the fence. He said that he now needed authorization to pay the $50.00
to Mr. Marciniak.
Mayor Kirkham said that this would be no problem. He said that as far as
the request goes for no assessments because they feel that they do not
receive any benefit, this is often the case with double frontage lots. The
City Engineer said that when this was discussed previously it was agreed to
assess by the normal policy for double frontage lots. Mayor Kirkham felt that
this same decision should stand. The City Engineer said that they were in
the process of installing water and sewer. When this was proposed last
year, curbing was discussed and it was decided to leave off the curbing to
keep the costs down as only one side will receive most of the assessment.
The street will be off-set to save the fences and provide for �now storage.
There will be an asphalt berm. This street is now under contract. Council-
man Sheridan asked what the cost per foot would be, and the City Engineer
said that it was very close to what was given to the people at the public
hearing.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to concur with the Administration and authorize
the expenditure of $50.00 to Mr. Edward Marciniak for the easement in the
northwest corner of his property. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkh;atffi declared the motlPn ���'�'�.��1.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1, 1970
PAGE 4 '
Councilman Sheridan said that he recalled a petition in the early 60's
concerning this same request not to be assessed. These people will probably
be back at the assesstnent hearing. He said that the person he talked to in
this area, understood that it was made a part of the record that there would
be no assessment on them.
RECEIVING PETITION N0. 6-1970 REQUESTING ADDITIQNAL STORM SEWER IN HARTMAN
CIRCLE:
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive Petition No. 6-1970. Seconded by
Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
The City Engineer explained that the improvement has been ordered in by the
Council. The people have been concerned that the street will not last because
there is water that stands in places in the existing street. There is a
very minimal storm sewer system proposed with the street improvement. To
add another line would be a better system, but it would make it more costly.
He pointed out that the cost is already $12.17 per foot. With the bids
coming in higher than the estimates, the cost will be higher than the price
given at the public hearing and he thought that anotk�er 7� will be added on
for the additional storm sewer lines. This is getting quite costly. He
suggested holding an informal hearing next Monday to see if the majority of
the people will want the improvement with the increased storm sewer system
after they understand the increased cost. He said that the man who circulated
the petition will give the necessary easement.
MOTION by.Councilman Breider to authorize the Administration to send out
notices of an.informal public hearing June S, 1970. Seconded by Councilman
Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.

FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY EDGAR W. HAUSER, 1401 46TH AVENUE
NORTH, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA):
The City Engineer said that the Building Board recomiaended approval subject
to the applicant submitting a landscaping plan. He said that there was
still a problem of service for water and sewer to this business. It is a
small building, 32' X 60', constructed of painted block. Councilman
Sheridan asked if the aesthetics were satisfactory and the City Engineer said
yes, for the area. Councilman Breider asked what was the problem with the
sewer and water. The City Engineer said that there were lines proposed for
77th and 79th, so there would have to be some long lines run. Councilman
Breider asked what was to be stored. Mr. Richard Harris said that it was
construction equipment. The Gity Engineer added that it is a requirement of
the ordinance that this be screened.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the building permit subject to the
applicant submitting landscaping plans and resolving the water and sewer
problems, and under the conditions of the Building Standards - Design

, The City Enqineer explained that this is for general sprucing up of the
station. It is recanmended that they iemove the milk depot which is in the
City right of way, fix the chuck holes in the driveway, remove the tires
' that they have been using for curbing and put in some curbing, and remove
their excess signs. Councilman Liebl said that he wa� glad to see that
there will be some housecleaning done, as it is badly needed.
, Mr. Richard Harris reported that at the meeting, Mr. Housenga of Standard
Oil made the statement that he was glad to have these requirements spelled
out and made a part of the building permit so they could use them as a lever
' on their leases. It seems that it is sometimes hard to get the lersee to
agree to general maintenance and improvements unless they are specified on
a permit.
MOTION by Councilman Leibl to concur with the Building•Board and grant the
permit subject to their stipulations and the above mentioned items.
Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion carried.

added that this station is better maintained than the previous one. He said
that there was some landscaping needed.
MOTZON by Councilman Liebl to grant the building permit to Standard Oil
Company subject to the notations of the Building Board. Seconded by Council-
man Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.
4. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO CON5TRUCT TWO CAR WASHES ON LOT 1,
BLOCK 3, COMMERCE PARK ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 7300 AND 7320
UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY STEVE CODDON,
4143 MINNEHAHA, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA):
The City Engineer said that these car washes are located in the southeast
' corner of Commerce Park. The Building Standards - Design Control recommended
approval of the permit subject to saae conditions. They plan on making the
automatic cax wash brick and the self service stucco.
CI
�
i
Mr. Ron Heskin of Heskin and Associates Inc., said that the autoaaatic car
wash has brick facing all the way around. They felt that brick on the self
service building would be econosnically unfeasible and came up with an
alternate. It is to be a stucco building with red cedar stripping, both to
have a mansard roof.
REGUI�IR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1, 1970
PAGE 6 '
Councilman Liebl said that there has already been a certain precedent set
for construction in the Commerce.Park area. He said that Councilman Harris
had pointed out to him at the Council Meeting that the Council would like
some uniformity between all the buildings in the area. A brick building
would require minimal maintenance, whereas stucco would require painting,
although brick would cost more initially.
Mr. Heskin said that he would agree that brick is easier to maintain, but
he did not feet that it would blend well with the other building. There is
an exposed exterior on all four sides. There are alsa many door cuts which
w�ould be hard to wark up with brick, and the�r felt_stucco was more
conducive to this type of structure. Councilman Liebl asked how much more
it would be to put on the brick, and Mr. Heskin estimated that it would make
the building cost 12� to 15� more.
Mayor Kirkham said that in his opinion if all the buildings in the area were
brick, it would make a dead looking area. He did not feel that it would
be desirable for all the buildings to look the same. He said that he was
not willing to insist on all brick, the object is to make the area look
pleasing. He felt that the mansard roof succeeds in tying the two buildings
together. Mr..Heskin said that as concerns the self service portion,
Councilman Harris had advised that the plans be submitted to the Building
Board. They were very helful, and felt that brick and stucco blends nicely
together. It was pointed out that residential homes use a combination of
brick and stucco. He felt that it would be.better to maintain the aaansard
roof on both of the buildings for continuity rather than brick the two
buildings.
The City Engineer pointed out that there was same discussion regarding a 15
foot minimum setback for each building'or a comman wall. In this case the
corners of the building are very close. The Building.Board feit that there
should be a com�►on wall. Mr. Robert Aldrich, Fise Prevention Bureau Chief
commented that this-would be no issue. The structures are low and he would
have no reservations on the construction of placement in the event of a
fire. The trucks could get around the building easily.
The City Engineer said that they were planning on sodding around the perimeter
of the buildings, with rock and so�ue shrubbery close to the buildings.
Councilman Breider questioned whether this could not create the same problem
as with Holiday where they would find that the rocks are hard to contain.
The City Engineer said that they are using rocks because they felt that the
sod would not live close to the buildings. This is just a small area.
The City Engineer pointed out that the extra turning lane should also be a
condition ot the permit, to be put in when the City.requests it. He
c;uestioned if there were twc separate lessees, should not the property be
divided. Mr. Heskin aaid that the owner of the land would remain the same.
Steve Coddon wouid own both and the car washes would be leasinq the use of
the buildings. The City Engineer said that in that case, there would be no
problem. Councilman Breider asked if Mr. Heskin agreed with the additional
turning lane. Mr. Heskin said that this was part of their proposal as they
thought that they had to do this. He said that they would rather go ahead
with it as long as they expected to do it. The City Engineer�.explained that
it was felt that there w�ould be peak periods of usage and the traffic cannot
be allowed to be backed up onto tYie thoroughfare.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1, 1970 PAGE 7
Councilman Sheridan said that he felt that it �as har� to visualize two
businesses competing against each other. He questioned al�owiAg a deviation
from what was required of other builders in the area, although he admitted
that this was an attractive layout.
The City Engineer felt that there should be some language included in the
special use permit to guarantee maintenance. The City Attorney said that
this could be written in. Councilman Breider pointed out that the license
has to be renewed every year.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to authorize publication af Ordinance #452.
(Second Reading held May 4, 1970). Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to grant the special use pe�mit on Lot 1,
Block 3, Commerce Park P.ddition with the requirement af an additional
traffic lane when the City requests it, subject to the.stipulations of the
Building Standards - Design Control Subcom¢aittee, except the buildings be
kept separate as originally planned, and that the maintenance has to be
satisfactory at all times. Seconded by.Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
' MOTION by Councilman Breider to grant a building pez�mit fox two car washes
requested by Steve Coddon as shown on the plot p1an.June 1, 1970. .Seconded

ERECTION COMPANY, 6210 RIVERVIEW TERRACE, �'RIDLEY, MINNESOTA):
The City Engineer said that they have already built two buildings in this
� area and this is an expansion to the north. The Building Board recommended
approval. This is much the same type of building as they built previously.
It is a block building with brick on the office portion.
'

�J
Mr. Richard Harris said that he assumed that the manhole is at grade, as
this is what he will be determining the elevation of the building on. He
added that his company plans on using this building, rather than leasing it
out. The City Engineer said that there might be a future need for additional
parking space, however, this could be worked out. He added that this is the
responsibility of the land owner. Mr. Richard Harris said that he was sure
that thsre was enough room. Mr. Harxis said that they needed the culvert at
Main Street as they stoXe equipment across the creek. There is not.enough
room to store the cranes. The City Engineer said that all equipment must
be stored within a privacy fence and l�r. Harris �ndicated that he was aware
of tl�is .
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the permit, subject to the Buildinq
Standards -�esign Control stipulations, and with the additional parking to
be provided as needed in the future, as per City's request. Seconded by
Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voi�irlg +�Ye, M�yQr Kirkham

The City Engineer said that this is a lot which was discussed previously

Councilman Sheridan said that at the previous discussion he indicated that
the side yard should be 17 feet. This request is for 13.12 feet. His

about 15 property owners in the area saying that they had no objection. The
Bqard q� Appeals recommended approval. This is an odd lot, and some of the
existing homes are.set quite fa� back on the lots.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to approve the variance requested by Mr.
Harold Swanson as recommended by the Beard of Appeals. Seconded by Council-
man Liebl. Upon a.voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.

randum froaa George M. Hansen Company dated May 18, 1970. Seconded by
Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
Councilman Breider asked the Finance Director if these will be followed up
on. The Finance Director said yes, throughout the year, although nothing
is planned in the data processing field. The Finance Officer's group have
looked into this. The City Manager commented that there have been studies
made on more than one community going together on it. The Finance Director
said that about three years ago when the present equipment was first con-
templated, it was felt that the present system would be the best for the
City's needs. This could be considered an interim step.
DISCUSSION REGARDING IMPRIJVEMENT AT CORNER OF MISSISSIPPI STREET - SPUR
SERVICE STATION:
The City Engineer explained that this is tied in with the negotiations with
the railroad for the underpass on Mississippi Street. The railroad at
present is not willing to concede, and grant the City what is requested as
far as the conditions attached to their yard construction is concerned, so the
underpass is being held up. The County plans on working on Mississippi Street
next year. The whole improvement has to be concurred with by the County,
City and the railroad because of the cost. He said that his recanmendation
is to push for the underpass and do the job right as it is so badly Aeeded.
The City might have to wait for the railroad if there are to be more dis-
cussions. There is concurrance on all but one item.
Councilman Liebl said that the Council received the study on East River
Road 3 or 4 weeks ago, which includes the Mississippi Street intersection.
He said that he believed that there was a fire hydrant that has to be moved
and some other items to take care of. He felt that the railroad was
stalling. He pointed out that the traffic on East River Road and Mississippi
Street will not decrease. He felt that there should be stricter enforcement
of the speed limit on East River Road.
COUNCII1wIAN HARRIS ARRIVED AT 9:00 P.M.
The City Engineer said that the Spur Station was concerned about the traffic
backing up on Mississippi Street. H� stressed the importance of getting this
underpass started. He commented that if'it.we�'e �q ��a�� now, it would
probably take 2 years to complete.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1, 1970
PAGE 10 '
Councilman Sheridan said that the railroad has six months between the first
reading and the second reading of the rezoning ordinance, before they would
have to start all over again. Prior to the six months limitation being up,
he felt that the railroad should again be approached on their plans and
informed that their time is almost up. The City Engineer pointed out that
some of the temporary work can be done for the Spur Station and maybe the
construction of Mississippi Street could start next year or the year after.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the communication froan the Murphy Oil
Corp, dated May 11, 1970. Secanded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.unanimously.
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 45.103 RELATING TO THE LOT
AREA AND IAT WIDTH REQUIREMENTS FOR C-1, C-1S, C-2, C-2S•
Councilman Harris wondered what was to prevent an application for a building
permit on a lot 200' X 100'. The City Engineer said nothing, but he would
still have to meet the parking requirements, ].and to building ratios, etc.
He said that he checked some of the lots in Hyde Park and those cambination
of lots having 200 feet frontage would have close to 25,000 square feet.
He pointed out that there are not too many commerciaL lots left in the City
except those newly rezoned in Hyde Park.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to adopt the Ordinance on first reading and waive
the reading. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a roll call vote, Breider,
Sheridan, Kirkham, Liebl, and Harris voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE BLANN.ING COMMISSIODi.MEETING QF MAY 20, 1970:
LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #70-06, GEORGE.L. WALQUIST: Lot 6, and S� of
Lot 7, Block 1, Erco's lst Addition. Site for dehtal clinic.
The City Engineer said that the Planning Commission recommended approval
with the condition that the N� of Lot 7 and Lot 8 be platted together in
some way under one de'scription.
Mr. Walquist said that Lot 7 and Lot 8 are both 83' X 139'. He then came up
to the Council table for discussion. The City Attorney said that the only
way he knew of to tie the N� of Lot 7 with Lot 8 would be a registered land
survey or a replat of the lots. He said that he knew of no other document
that could be u�ed. He thought that a registered land survey would be
easier for a small parcel.
MOTION by CounciLnan Sheridan to concur with the Planning Commission and
grant the lot split requested by George Walquist, with the condition that
the N� of Lot 7 and Lot 8 be either under a registered land survey or
replatted. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all votinq aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.

for additional land around Shorewood Lounge. Seconded by Councilman Harris
for discussion.
Councilman Harris asked what was the intent. The City Manager said that
more land is needed for parking. Councilman Sheridan added that more parking
would make the Lounge more saleable. Councilman Harris asked what was the
. Council's feeling on going out for rebids. Councilman Sheridan felt that
first there should be more land added for additional parking, if possible.
He felt that the City would be in a better position to negotiate or trade
than a private individual would be. Councilman Harris agreed that the City
must do whatever is necessary to further split liquor, as this is what the
voters indicated. Another 50 parking spaces would be a valid consideration
when bidding.

completed up to date. It has already been approvsd, this is just the
official document.
Councilman Harris asked if there has been any testing done. The City Engineer

B. COMSTOCK AND DAVI5, INC.: REGARDING.PRO.TECT #95-B
dated May 22,
voting aye,
The City Engineer explained that this is the_contract for the well house and
connection of the four wells to the water system. The temporary connection
of the wells had a completion date of June 1, 1970, but there is a plumbers
strike and there has been no work to date. There is another union meeting
scheduled for tomorrow and hopefully, if the strike �i� settled, the work
can continue. Councilman Sheridan said that if the strike continues, the
City can complete the work for the health, safet�, and welfare of the
community under an emergency measure. The City Engineer asked who would
work. The City Attorney said that some of the plumbers have signed an
interim agreement and they would work. The contract would have to be broken
and an etnergency ordinance passed. He said that Mr.. Comstock,has indicated
that there is not much work for the plumbers to comp].ete and it would not take
very long. It should be done before it gets warm and the sprixilcling starts.
He said that there was a meeting with Berglund.John�on to impress upon them
the importance of the completion, but it was not very productive.
MOTION by Councilman She�idan to request that this item-be back.on the Agenda
for June 8, 1970. If negotiations with the_union are not productive, then

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1, 1970
DISCUSSION REGAI3DING EAST.&IVER.ROA.D STUD� BY BATHE& ENGINEERING:
PAGE 15
The City Engineer displayed a large map of the proposed improvement of
East River Road on the easel and explained that there has been talk of
improving East River Road since about 1963. The County at that time felt
that they did not have sufficient staff for a study. This year they
engaged Bather Engineering to undertake the study and.the recommended
proposal is basically the same plan that was presented to the Council in
February, 1968, and was approved by the Council. There is a divider to
eliminate all lett hand turns, except at signals, except in one or two
instances. The signaY at I. 694 will be installed in a couple of months,
and there is one proposed south of the school to serve the school, George-
town apartments, Downing Box and LaMaur. There are also slip-offs to serve
these areas. To go south from Downing Box, LaMaur or Georgetown, cars
would have to go north to the signals. There are four lanes of free flow
traffic proposed.
Councilman Harris asked how wide the divider would be. The City Engineer
answered this would depend on the amount of money available and the right
of way obtained. If Federal funds are obtained, there would be more money
available. Councilman Harris felt that there should be a light at the
median as it is on Highway #100.
Mr. Ken Fransen, 157 Riversedge.Way asked how the cars would qet out of the
school area. The City Engineer said that the exit would be at the signal,
which would be moved south to take care of the industrial and commercial
enterprises also.
Councilman Breider asked if there would.be three lanes of traffic co�ning from
Downing Box and LaMaur. The City Engineer replied yes, probably one lane
going south and two goinq north. The Georgetawn service road would
probably be 24' and would be two lan�s, because in_this.instance people
would not all be coming and going at the same time, as:they would leaving
LaMaur when work is over. Councilman Breider agreed that thE traffic would
be very heavy when Downing Box and LaMaur let out from wor&. It was pointed
out that the proposal is for the streets to go in on the east side of East
River Road to bring the children down to the school, and on the west side,
there would have to be a short connection of Riverview Terrace made, and a
walkway south of Riverview Terrace to the school. T,hen there would be
no sidewalks on East River Road, as the service roads would take care of
getting the children to the school.
The City Engineer continued that there would be two free flow lanes on both
sides of the median north of 61st Avenue, and six lanes coming into the
Mississippi Street intersection. There would.be a free right hand turn at
Mississippi Street to the east. The road will be shifted north of Mississippi
Street to take out a bad curve. Most of the right of way will come fraa the
east side. The total cost of the improvement is about $750,000, and about
$250,000 is involved in the service road which aze outside of the present
County right of way. He estimated that it would cost about $55,000 to
improve the Mi�sissippi Street - East River Road corner, including taking
out the gas station. He pointed out that the estimate.of $750,000 is
probably a minimum ar.lount, and could easily be more. He said that there were
some Federal funds available under the T.O.P..I.C.S. program, which the County
would be makinq application for. He pointed pu� that at some stage there
would have to be a public hearing held.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1, 1970 PAGE 16
Councilinan Breider asked if there was any thought given to tyinQ this improve-
ment into the future improvement of East River Road north of Rice Creek. The
City Engineer said that he assumPd that was taken into consideration.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the concept of a continuous median for
the improvement of East River Road frnm I. 694 to Rice Creek as prepared by
Bather Engineering, authorize proceeding with the County on neqotiations on
cost apportionment, and recxuest that the County make thP application for
Federal fundinq. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan.
Councilman Sheridan said that he approved the concept, but would question the
wisdom of holding a public hearing before more facts are known. He felt tha}
there should be concrete information to be qiven at a public hearinct and
before thPy are known, a public hearina would not serve any purpose. He
asked why not let the County do the whole thing, tiiey have the riqht to assess.
Councilman Harris said that he thought that the County did not want to get
involved in assessment.
The City Engineer said that the City could proceed with the project
regardless of the Federal funding. He said that figures could be given on
the basis of no Federal funding at a public hearing, but only the County
participation. Any Federal funding would then reduce the assessment cost.
Councilman Sheridan said that he assumed that the acquisition of the additional
right of way would not be a cost to the City, although�the curlaing would be,
like any other County road. The City Engiseer sai.d that everyone could be
assessed for a normal residential street, and the excess could co�ne from
other funds of the Federal funds. There would probably be sox� state aid
monev that could be made available. Councilman Sheridan said that the
acquisition of the right of way should be the County.responsibility, and the
City Engineer indicated that this would have to be resolved with the County.
Mayor Kirkham felt that a public hearing would be a bit premature. The City
Engineer said that the figures could be estimated for a public hearinc7 and he
did not feel that anyone should pay less than for a normal residential street.
He asked why should people living on a County road not have to pay for their
street. Councilman Harris said that it could be considered a disadvantage
2iving on a busy highway. He added that they must pay the normal curb and
gutter assessment. He did not feel that the street oould be assessed. He
agreed with Councilman Sheridan that the hearing should be at a later date.
He'did not feel that the County should go ahead without the curb and gutter.
The cost apportionment must be based on a fair and equitable understanding.
Councilman Liebl asked Mx'. Ken Fransen and Mr. Bud Davis if this would
adequately take care of Riversedge Way, and could the residents live with
this plan. Mr. Fransen asked how high the median would be, and Councilman
Sheridan said that it would be about curb height. Councilman Sheridan added
that he did not want the sidewalks along East River Road.
Mr. Davis asked what the speed limit would ba. The City Engineer said that
the speed limit is not set by the City. Mx. Davis asked if it can be en-
forced. Councilman Liebl explained the difficulty in enforcing the speed
limit. There is only 66', and there are no shoulders to pull a car off the
road, which makes a very dangerous situation. Mr. Davis asked if there
were any homes to be acquired, and the City Engineer said no. Mr. Davis
asked what width it would be. The Cit� �ngi,n���' sc�id that it is 66' now and
when it is done, it would be more like University Avent�e, �ks}���man Harris
REGULAF2 COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1, 1970
PAGE 17
commented that this should eliminate some of the traffic on East River Road.
The cars now come down University Avenue and go o�ver on Osborne Road to
avoid all the signals. With this improvement, there would be more siqnals.
Councilman Liebl agreed with Mr. Davis that there should be stricter
enforcement of the speed limit.
Mr. Fransen asked if there is anything temporarily planned for I.t�Maur. He
believed that they plan on opening in August. Couacilman Harris said that
the City could petition for a temparary signal for powning Box, LaMaur, and
Georgetown. The cars would be going out after work bumper to bumper. Mr•
Fransen commented that 60� of the accidents are in thi5 area.
Mr. Richard Harris asked if there were going to be sidewalks along Riverview
Terrace, and the City Engineer said no, just the street, except the short
connecting walkway to'the school. He then asked if there would be_detours
during construction. Mayor Kirkham said hopefully, one lane cauld be left
open for the traffic like was done on Highway #100.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to limit debate and call for the question. The
motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.

AVENTJ� N.E., BY CPL. JAMES L. RQBINSON BY G.D. GIANCOLB., HIS ATTOIQNEY:
Mr. G.D. Giancola explained that this application for rezoning is on behalf of
Cpl. James L. Robinson and is ior the rezoning of Lots l, 2, 3, 4� and.Lot 9, Central
Avenue Addition from C-1 to C-2, and Lots 5 and 6 and the north 6$ feet of Lot 20 of
Central Avenue Addition, fraaaD�-1 to C-2. There is a:tentative sale of the propezty
for a Skelly Service Station. To have sufficient room for the sexvice station, it
is neceasary to aplit LQt 20. The rezoning and lat split have been approved by
the Plats and Subdivisiona - Streets and Utilities Subcommittee and the Plannfnq
Caa�aission. He then present�ci a picture of what the co�pleted sexviae station would
look like, and said that they intend to put in three bays: He sa�d that he
beliaved that there was only one other service station in this area, and Skellys'
would serve the residential neighborhood and the businessas in the area. He pointed
out that this intersection has a lot of junk on it now, and this service station
i,�ould be an impro�s�aent. Hn �aid �pt �tY►ere were two representatives frcm Skelly
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JUNE 8, 1970 p� 19
Oil Company, Mr. J.L. Winters and R.G. Sundberg,. if there were any questions by the
Council. He reported that in conjunction with the public hearing i�efore the
Planning Commission it was recanmended that Brooks Street be vacated, and he has
submitted an application for the vacation to the Engineerinq Departsaent. It
was the thought of the Planning C�annission that although the street is platted,
it does not serve any useful purpose. He said that there is also.a request for
a special use permit.
The City Engineer said that the Council has asked hica to keep a tally on the
nwaber of service stations located within the City. He said that at the present
time there were 27 service stations and showed the locations on the screen. In
addition, there are 2 pumps with the car wash and one at the Superette. He said
that if th�s rezoning request is approved, there wauld be a need to acquire
so�ae land from them on 73rd Avenue for an additional turning lane. This could
be done in conjunction with the vacation of srooks Street and a txade instituted.
He said that he would work with the applicant on the additional turning lane•
Mayor Kirkham said that he had no objection to a gas station at thi� locatiois,
but he would agree that the �urning lane should be put in. Mr. Giancola said
that he was not prepared to answer any questions on the turning lane. This is
the first he heard of it. The plans have been drafted and submitted to the
Engineering Department. He que�tioned �hether this would then have to qo back
through the lower bodies. The City Engineer said that it would simply be a
matter of shifting the building dawn �lightly. The Council could take care of
this. The shift could be effected when Brooks Street is vacated.
Councilman Liebl said that he felt that there was a definite need for improveme�t
of the present service stations, and up-grading th�n. He said that he did nat like
to see a service station cluttered up with a lot of cars. He was glad to see
that they wa�e platnning three bays. He nsked if there would be screer�inq at the
back.
Mr. Ralph Sundberg said that they would definitely be putting in the requested
landscapinq. �Mayor Kirkham added that the City is vezy strict on requestinq

Mayor 3ti.rkhaia read the public hearinq notice and asked if there was anyone in
the audience that wished to be heard. Mr. John Jeasen of Misaeeota Transfer
Railway and �Lr.. Semore G. Nelson, 895 73rd Avenue N.E., weYe pre�ent. Mr.
Nelson said that he wac very anxious to �ave this improvement in.
The Finanae Director said that the parking lot for Locke Park is included in
' this improvement and has been partially budgetted for in this year'� bnflqet.
The spread would be 10 years for the assessment. The street i.mprovement qoes
fraa 73rd Avenue to south of the Minnesota Trau�sfer Rail�ray riqht of r+ay.

Mr. Jensen said that he was not sure what their asses+aa►ent wou?d be. He said
that Minnesota Transfer Railway has dedicated right of way for the atreet as they
have a team track at this location, and they need part o! the roadway to qet
to the teaia track. He said that he understood that Target vras interested in
this also, and that this road would also serve the Target warehouse. The Firia�ce
Director said that the assessment roll would be made up with �i of the cost on
each side of the strset. The co�t to Minnosota Tran�ier woubd be $9,457.12
whicYi did not inciude any right of way costs. lrlr. Jensen said that they have
done soms of the rouqh gradinq and they felt that they should get aa�s break on
the assessmenta. The Finance D�.rector said that the onZy way there could be
compensation aould be a paymer�t for the right of way. There cannot be an
unequal assessment, and no part of an assessment can be fazgiven. Mayor Rf.slchaa�
saitd-that itt this way they would get a checic for the lan�, but would bo as�soed
equally. M�. Jensen said that thi� vauld seem raasonable. He felt that the
biqgest baneficiary . vro�ld be the park. There would bc L+wo cross�ings acroas t,i�
tracks so there would be some added expense in maintenance.

The City Engineer said that he would bring the resolution orderinq th� i�pro�versnt

the atr�et to keep the dust to a minimum. �
Mr. Nelson said that the amount of traffic going to aad from th�e park is un-
believable. When the wind is frao4 the south the dnst rolls into th�ir housa and
it is very hard to keep their house clean. He felt that it waa r#diculous to
openJup the park with the road not impraved. This is a great nuisance to th�m, �
and they would hate to put up Nith this all summer. Tha Citp�Engineer Qaid that
thay wauld try tb keep calciva chloride on the street until th. iaiprovetaent ie '

SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JUNE 8, 1970
INEORMAL PUBLIC HEARING OAi ADDITIONAL STORM SEWE't IN HARTMAN CIRCLE:
PAGE 21 I I
Mrs. Walter Miskowic, 153 Hart�►an Circle, said thit she had the hiqhest regard
for those who serve the City of Fridley and the qreatest faith in the people
who work for the City. She said that she had a p�tition against the additional
stozm sewer system signed by 13 property owners. The main reason for not being
in favor was that they felt that the water problem which exists would not be
taken car4 of by any additional drainage system. She then read the petition
aloud and presented it to the Council.
PETITION #8-1970 - AC.I�INST ANY ADDITIODiAL.STORM 5EWER DRAINAGE AS PROPOSED
BY OTHER HOME OWNERS FOR HARTM1R�i CIRCLE UNDER STREET IMPRfJVEMENT P1i�OJECT

Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all

�
receive Petition #8-1970. Seconded by Councilman
voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the uwtion �
The City Engineer expla�ned that there was a petition received from some of the
other property owners that have drainage problems, for saae additional atom sewer
to adequately take care of the problem. The proposal presented by the Enqineerinq
Department 1$ a..minimal eystem,of using what there is in the street naw and not
adding any additipnal storm sewer systeaa. There would be additional catch basins•
with a.minimal qrade an the street. When the plana were drawn, there v►as nct
any additional stozm sewer included because ths cost of the inprovemant was
already high. He felt that it would be bettex.to have the additional syeteia,
but i� is all a matter of what the people are willing to pay for. Undes the
plans as drawn the water would run for a longer distance, which would shorten
the life of the street. He said that he talked to a gentleman who lives in the
area, a few days ago and he expre�sed the aoncern of some of the property ov�mers,
so it was felt that this should go back to the Council to make a determination
of just what the residents wanted. There has no�ir b�en a petition received both
for and aqainst�the additional storm sewer system.
Mr. G.D. Gianeola, 109 Hartman Circle, said that he had faith in the employees
of the City of Fridley, and if they felt that the plans as they were drawn would
work, fine. He said that he did not want to have the street torn up in the future
to put in the additional system, and if it was felt that it should qo in, it
should go in with the street construction.
A member of the audience asked what is the approximate cost. 1'he City Enqineer
explained that the additional system would add about 7$ onto the cost given at
the public hearing. He added that the cost given at the_.public hearing was $12.17
per foot and with the cost of construction going up so rapidly, it will probably,
be about $12.50 per foot. The additional storm sewer sy��em would make the
assessment about $13.50 per foot. "
Councilman Liebl said that he had gone up to this area and there was water running
alonq the curb. -He asked the City Engineer if he felt, fro� an Enqineering stand-
point thatr an additional catch basin is not needed to get rid of the water that
would accum�ulate in the spring and fall. He asked if he could quarantee a life
spaa of 10 to 15 ye�ss. He added that in an area south of I. 694 the City
Enqineez rec�ended that some additional storm sewer work be done to pxolonq the
life of the street. He asked if this was not a similar situation. He asked if
there would not be water standing under the oriqinal proposal. The City Enqineer

said that as indicated the plan was for a miniawl aystem, and anythinq more
would increase the life of the street. .The water would not stand, but would
be intercepted before it gets to the south corner. This is a bare min.uaum, and
anything more would be better. It is all a question of how much the people are
willing to pay.
Mr. George Rusler, 169 Hartman Circle, asked what would be the increase in the
life of the street by providing an extra catch basin. He �aid that he realized
this is a judgatent question. The City Engineer said that if this waa a new
development to go into an undeveloped area, there would be a more c�mplete storat
sewer systes� put in,than there is now. Norn►ally the water is not carried for a
block and a half. It would be better to have the i.mproved systea►, if the residents
are willing to pay for it.
Dr. R. Trezona, 177 Hartman Circle, said that he lives at the south intersection and
has ari underqr8und sprinkler system. Occasionally the wat�r get� onto the road
and runs down to ttie catch basin. He asked if there was c�oinq to be an increase in
the elevation of the r�aad. The City Engineer said that i,n so�ne areas it will be
higher and so�e lower, but the difference will be minimal, and the raisinq will
not be a substantial amount. Dr. Trezona a�ked whp is the street graded so the
water drain$ down the sides rathei than the middle. T'he City Enqiaeer said that
this was to keep the.atreet clean. The dirt w�nld �►ash alonq the concrete curb
and qutter. Goncrete is used rather than biacktop.because it is stronger, and
lonqer lasting, and blacktop tends to crack more than concrete. A member of the
audience said that if the street was qraded to the middle, there w�ould be-ice
in the middle of the street in the wintertime. �
Mr. Karl Shoemaker, 160 Hartman Circle, said that he understood that when.,,it is
qraded, water will not stand were it dces now. The City Engineer said thait this
is wl,iat is planned. Mr. Shoemaker �sked h�v much of a slape is planned. The
City En�ineer said .4�. A member of the audience saicl that the-water nat,i stands
on the weaterly north-south section of the �treet. � �
Councilman Liebl said that he did not feel that the street would.last without
an adequate dxainage system, and if he lived up there, he would be willing to
pay the additional 7�.
A member of the audience said that he lived in �,he northeast corner of Hartman
� Circle, but faces East River Road and would receive no beneiit. He a�kad where the
water caaee from. The City Engineer said that the whale area drains into this
low spot.
�
�
�

,
Mr. Le�lie Wilke, 129 Hart�an Circle, said that he.walks on the road at night ar�d
it seems like there is water standiaq 100$ of tha tiiae. Th��_i+� not.�ust drainaqe
froon aftei a rain, but there is a s�aap or saa�ethinq :that puts the `+a�tar 'aut in the
street. He felt that this would ruin the street. The City Enginesr sai4 thit he
was not aware of this. Dr. Trezona asked if .it was.his sprinkler sy�tem, and Mr.
Wilke said no, it is more like a sump puanp., Mrs. Miskowic said that everyone who
lives on the Circle knows that there is one basement that qets watez in it. Theae
pQOple mainta�in a nice home and yard, but no.matter how much stona sewer is put in,
it will�not help t.lie water in this basement. If the line was raised, it would take
care of it. Mr. Rusler said that-:this is true, there is a sump that pumpe a
basement, but this dces not explain the puddles that atand whon the pump is not
rwFUiing. He has seen children playing in the puddlea with boots on and the water
is about 3" deep. There is.a eontir}�s��s atrip of water that just.stands. This
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETI�G OF JUNE 8, 1970 PAGE 23
would be improved by grading, and it was his contention that the rather sm�all
additional cost of the additional storm sewer system would be money well spent,
compared to the extended life of the street.
Councilman Liebl advised the people that the life of the street would be greatly
incxeased, and they should look ahead and not throw their money away. Dr. Trezona
pointed out that 13 years ago the street was put in and it is still holding water.
He did not fesl that the new street would wash away, if the old one did.not.
Mr. D.K. Scharmack, 150 Hartman Circle, asked if there would be chuck holes with
the grade that small. The City Engineer said that the grade would be.4" in 100' and
anything more would cost more, but there would be less chance of their having chuck
holes, with the additional storm sewer. .
Mr. Gilbert Rivard, 145 Hartman Circle, �aid that if a catch basin was put in in
the corner, the water would still be running about 2/3 of the block. '1'he City
Enqineer said that-a better slope to the street could be attained. Mr. Rusler
asked if it would be reasonable to guess that the improved drainage system would
lenqthen the life of the street by one year. 3'he City Engineer said that this is
talking �.n prababilitie+�, and it would depend on the amount of traffic, but he
would think that it would last more than one year longer.
Mrs. Arlene Gj'erve, 180 Hartman Circle, said that when Sue Miskowic called and
talked to the City Engineering staff, she got the impression that the drainaqe
would be taken care of.� The City Engineer said that they could take care of the
water, but the improved system would be better. He caapaxed it to driving a
Volkswagon or a Cadillac. Both will take you where you are going, but one has
more advan�ages, but it costs more. He said that there would not be chuck holes
and the watet would drain because of the concrete curbing.
Ni�'. Fdward Scholzen, 117 �Hartman Circle, c�uaented. that he wanted to put in a
driveway, but he would wait until the grade of the road is set.
Mr. Wayne Sampson, 110 Hartman Circle, asked if the life of the street wauld be
increased by the 7�. The City Engineer said that he thaught that this would be
a fair assumption. Dr. Trezona said that he assua�ed that with the increase in
the system, everything else would stay the same. The City Engineer said yes, the
slope would be increased, but the mat, concrete curb and gutter etc. would be
the same.
A meiaber of the audience said tha� the slope proposed is 4" in 100', �o what is the
incx'eased slope to be. The City Engineer said that it would be 5" to 6" per
100', but the water would be intercepted earlier by the additional storm sewer.
The resident asked if it was not true that the faster the water runs, the more it
would erode. The City Engineer said that the difference in velocity would be
very small.
Mr. Harol Belgum, 191 Hartman Circle, said that he was speaking for four families,
and they wo�uld prefer the water to be intercepted and sent into the �tississippi
River rattiez t11an down in front of their houses, as the water carzies oi1 and
xefuse.
Mr. Russell Frazier, 181 Hartman Gircle asked what t�as the pos�ibility of the water
draining into the yards. T'he Cit Engineer said none, because of the curbing. A
resident asked wha� wae the npal�aa� ga�ade . R'he City Engineer said that; it varies
' .w■,.�.er� �.`"""'
from .4� to about 6��.� .
SPECIAL PIJBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JUNE 8, 1970 PAGE 24
Mayor Kirkham asked for a show of hands, one fro�n each hou��hold. First the
proposal as originally planned by the Engineering Departsnent �howsd 13 people in
favor. The proposal for the increased drainage system sh�ed 8 in favor. Council-
man Liebl said that he did not believe that all the people wQre here, and that it
was his duty to speak for those not here. He advised them to look ahead.
1�lOTION by CounciLnan r�iebl to close the informal public hearing. Seconded by
CounciLaan Breider.
Cou�cilms�,Breider said that there has been talk of preserving the street. It
seemed that most of the problem was with a small portion on the west side. Tha
City Engineer said that the only change would be in the southwest coruer, apprc�ci-
etately.600 feet of the roadway. Counailman Breider asked if the pipe were to be
put in fro�m Hartiean Circle to the Mississippi River, do�s the City have aa
easement. The City Engineer said that Mr. Rusler will give the ea�ement without
any conderunation or cost.
Mr. Fred llcCarron, 121 Hartman Circle, asked how wide the-street was qoinq to be.
The City Eaqineer said 36' from the back of curb to back of curb. Mr. McCars�on
then asked when it would be put in. The City Engineer said that the heavy equfp-
aaent operators have been on strike. Hopefully it should be donQ by Beptember.
This street is under contract nav. It will not be torn up unlesa it caa be,ca■�-
pleted. Councilman Liebl asked if there was sod or black dirt pravided. The
City Engineer said that there was same black dirt in the contract, aad theae may
be scme steep slopes that need sod. Councilman�i.iebl then asked about tbe drivo-
ways. The City Enqineer explained that anythinq taken out wi11 b� pat back in at

take most of the week to get the footings installed and into the.middle of next

scaping that does not conform to what was submitted on the plans and approved.
They have put in cruslti�ilci rock in the front, rather than the sod alnd bu�hes. The

it washes down into the street. He felt that they should confozm to the plane

,work.
Councilman Sheridan said that in his opinioa, he felt that t2�y should confozm to
what was approved on the plans. He said that he was in that.area last week.

the City Ma�aager did a good job of nagotiating and that the agre�a�nt r►as fair.
Council.man Sheridan wondered what will happen with the Police Penaion Association
in regard to the escalator clause. The Finance Dizector said that they hav� aqreid
to take a vote, this is not tied into the union aqre�ent. He aaid that he could
not guarantee a favorable vote. CounciLaan Breider asked what waa the purpose of
the cam�aittee of three. The Finance Director said that the three man ccmmaittee

by both sides, to try to resoive the..police pension problema._ Th�n thsy were to

CONSIDERATIODi OF LETTES OF INTENT AS REQUIaED UNDF�A. MINDIESOTA FIAOD M�IiAGii�NT ACT:
The City Enqineer explained that the 1969 Legialature paa�ed a law which requiraa
each municipality to provide information to the.Cemmissioner of Conservati�-by
June 30th setting up flood plain areas. The State would be rsetricting aonstruction
in certain areas affecte�l by the flooding. The City di8 butld.a..tamq�ozuy dike,

but there i� a quea�ion whether.or,not they wnuid consider�this suEficient, since
it is in reality an elevated roadway. In the area behind the dike there are about
20 bui3dab2e sites left:�open. This law would affect this a�ea. The City is'
puttinq i� road improvements in this area�and if the people are not allowed to
build normal construction houses, they will be unhappy. After this letter of

l. CONTINUED: SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP ��70-02, BY RECREATION EQUIPMENT SALES,
INC. (GLENN W. MISCHKE): To permit retail sales of campers, trailers, motor
homes, recreational equipment in a C-2S District (general shopping areas)
to be located on Lots 1 and 5, Block 1, Hezwal 2nd Addition.
Mr. Mischke was present.
' , Chairman Erickson reviewed the diecussion of the May 20th meeting when the
Planning Commission had a motion for denial, but the motion failed for l�ck of a
second and a new motion was made to continue the request so that the petitioner
' could present a plot plan. Mr. Mischke had the plan with him and it was placed
on the easel for the benefit of the audience. The print of the structure showed
the entrance at the front of the building, but Mr. Mischke thought it should be
' changed to a side entrance. The plot indicated that_the area to the rear would :.
be �sed for storage and display with a 6 foot cyclone fence around it. The
f r o n t a g e w o u l d b e 1 2 5 f e e t a n d t he dep t h 4 5 0 fee t -- t he West 2 0 feet wou l d not
be used.
MOTION by Minish, seconded by Schmedeke, that the Planning Commission re-
open the Public Hearing of the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #70-02, by
Recreation Equipment Sales, Inc. to permit retail sales of recreational equip-
ment in a C-25 District on Lots 1 and 5, B1ock Z,�Xerwal 2nd Addition. Upon a
voice vote, aIl voting aye, the motion carried vnanimously.
Don Savelkoul, 916 West Moore Lake Drive: Mr. Savelkoul stated he was
Secretary of the'Fridley Recreation Center. He said he was interested in the
grawth and development of the community. Whatever is being requested this
evening is not permitted under the general ordinance, as he understands it.
There was no problem with the funeral home and the veterinary clinic, but if
Mr. Mischke was proposing a pure and simple building, there would be no problem
naw. The request involved campers, recreational xehicles and other things of
this nature, all to be on display and that was the poiat he waa>against. There
would be no objections from the residents and al�.ied places if Mr. Mischke
would be asking for the building only, as shown on the plan, but when this
involved trailers, campers, vehicles, recreational equipment and such things in
the open, there are objections and very sound objections and not only by just
those who were here tonight, but others. He felt Fridley had reached a stage
where we do not have to downgrade, but upgrade._.If a deviation were to be made,
it should be for the better. Why a deviation at this time? FIe would sincerely
urge that this Planning Commission insist on maintaining standards. He hac� seen
this thing happen to the South where a million dollar corporation tried to get
in Columbia Heights and deviate from standards, and that application was '
denied. He said we are talking about a trailer or some other kind of vehicle
which is not permitted under our ordinance, that residents and business men
are opposed to it, and he asked that the Planning Commission, as the represen-
tative of the people, will not deviate downward and insist on compliance of the
ordinance which has been enacted.
Stan Carlson, 6219 Baker Avenue N.E.: He stated his home was right behind
and South of this land. He opposed the request. Looking at the building, he
felt it was fine and the shaded green part, but fences of the kind proposed,
are a real eyesore to the neighborhood. The aeighbors were interested in the
treatment back of the lot. A tour of Fridley and other communities would show
there are a lot of trailer sales. We do not need any more in Fridley. Do not
dawngrade, but upgrade.

Planning Commission Meeting - June 3, 1970 Page 3
In answer to Mr. Schmedeke's question whether or not Mr. Savelkoul, as an � 3
attorney had ever asked for a Special Use Permit for a client, Mr. Savelkoul
replied that he had never asked for a Special Use Permit in the City of Fridley
or in any other place. Mr. Schmedeke asked if Mr. Savelkoul was aware that
there is a 40 foot planting strip, and that Mr. Mischke had offered to put in
evergreens to protect the neighbors. Mr. Savelkoul replied that you would still
be looking at autos, campers and recreational equipment and it was still an
eyesore, and he would not want to look at it.
Eugene Lawson, 1026 64th Avenue N.E.: Mr. Lawson said that he came to the
meeting to oppose the request for the same reasons as Mr. Savelkoul pointed out.
Mrs. Eugene Lawson: She said that, when they moved to Fridley in 1954,
they were told that the property involved in this request would be a park. They
would like to see something there that they would be proud to have their friends
see.
Mr. Mischke said the recreational equipment would be put behind the building.
Mr. Eugene Lawson expressed the opinion that he felt a trailer sales would
not do their property any good.
Mr. Stan Carlson: Several years ago he talked to Mr. Walquist who told him
he had a lead on a man interested in the property and would put a furniture
store there.
Mr. Mischke said the property was sold to him in 1963 and he told Mr. Wal-
quist what he was going to use it for.
Mr. Savelkoul said that he had checiced on the real estate holding, and as
far as he knew, the whole property is under the name of Herwal at the registrar
of deeds. The property sold to the funeral home and the veterinarq clinic was bq
the same individual. .
M�OTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission
close the Public Hearing of the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #70-02,
by Recreational Equipment Sales, Inc. (Glenn W. Mischke) to permit retail sales
of recreational equipment in a C-2S District on Lots 1 and 5, Block 1, Herwal
2nd Addition. Upon a voice vote, a1.Z voting aye, the motion carried unanirriousZy.
Mr. Harris said he had spent some time inspecting the property, and, in his
opinion, the back half of Lot 5 is unbuildable, as it is mostly cattails.
Mr. Stan Carlson: He understood that, at some time in the past, there was
talk about putting apartment houses there.
• Mr. Schmedeke brought up the�fact that there is a sanitary sewer easement
between Lots 1 and 5, and there can never be a building constructed over it.
The Engineering Assistant pointed out that the sewer serves this property and
the service station. The cafe is hooked up to the North.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he wished to point out this request has been on the
Planning Commission agenda for three consecutive meetings.
Mr. Minish commented that at the previous meeting, he had made a motion to
deny the request. He did not feel that anything more had been offered at this

treeting to make him change his mind. He did have a�better idea now as to the 3�
fence, but added he was still opposed to open sales and storage area.
MOTION by Minish, seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Commission
, recommend denia.� to the City Council of the 5pecial Use Permit request, SP #70-02,
by Recreation Equipment Sa1es, Inc., GZenn W. Mischke, to permit retail sales of
campers, trailers, motor homes, recreational equipment in a C-25 District (general
' shopping areas) to be Iocated on Lots .Z and 5, Hezwal 2nd Addition. Upon a voice
vote, Minish, Fitzpatrick and Harris voting aye, Schmedeke votinq nay, and Chair-
man Erickson abstaining, the motion carried.
Mr. Harris said he had looked at several areas which had outside storage
and he was not impressed with the way they were conducted. He also walked
around the area in question and did not think the business would fit in with
the established concept. He wondered if Mr. Mischke would have an alternate
proposal and get together with the City Administration rather than leaving the
piece of ground dormant and unproductive.
Chairman Erickson informed the audience this request would be heard before
Council on June 15, 1970 and Council will not hold a hearing unless they choose
to call one.
2. PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL_USE PERMIT, SP #70-03, EDWARD CHIES: Lots 6 thru
11, Lots 15 thru 20, Block 2, Meadowmoor Terrace. To permit housing for the
Elderly and Senior Citizens.
Mr. Arthur Winters, 7651 Central Avenue Northeast represented Mr. Chies.
His explanation for the Special Use Pernnit was to build housing for the Elderly
and Senior Citizens.
This plan cames under the HUD Program No. 236 which is a low rent type,
the rent being in the neighborhood of $99.00 a month. The renter pays the amoun�
he can afford and the government subsidizes the balance. There would be the
regular real estate taxes and the property would be assessed as any other parcel
of land, the only difference being that.t,he.rer�t_is subsidized.
The plans are for one bedroom units, no basement, but there is an area for
washing clothes in the utility room. Plans were submitted to Spring Construction
for frame construction. They subsequently found out that, under HUD rules, con-
crete was specified, probably from the standpoint of fireproofing.
There would be ten 52'x48' four unit buildings one story high on twelve
75'x120' lots.
They knocked on the doors of seventeen property awners, Mr. Winters saw
twelve people -- ten of the twelve signed a petition approving the plan, but
he did not get to see the rest of the neighbors. The Petition was presented
to the Planning Co�nission.
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Schmedeke, that the Planning Corrmiission
' receive Petition No. 7-1970 approving the Specia.i Use Permit request, SP �Y70-03
by Edward Chies to permit housing for the Elderly and Senior Citizens in an R-1
District. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

The Engineering Assistant commented that there is a fairly high water table
in this area. Mr. Winters said that the homes they are building on Meadowmoor
Drive, South of this proposed complex, are all split entries, and they are
raised up quite high. The response of the people he visited there showed no
objections. In fact, he really didn't have any serious objections from the
neighbors.
The statement was made by Darrel Clark that the lots in this request are all
zoned R-1. Under R-1, a Special Use Permit is required for the type of the
housing. It was noted that Lots 5 and 21 have R-1 zoning and they abut Lots 4
and 22, which are zoned C-1 (local business). The C-1 area included Lots 1 thru
4 and Lots 22 thru 26, Meadowmoor Terrace. Mr. Winters stated he understood
that this proposal was to abut the C-1 District and he would talk to his client
to see what he would want to do with Lots 5 and 21. As Mr. Chies owns all the
lots, this can be corrected.
Louis Stoffers, 7676 Bacon Drive: He stated he has been a resident in the
area for four years. Across the street from his house, the tornado took a
house and after three years, nothing was ever done. He asked Mr. Chies to do
something with this property and even went to the Council. Council sent letters
out to cut the grass, but nothing was done. Now he wants to build this housing.
Right after he bought his house from Mr. Chies, he had some action against him,
which was four years ago. If Mr. Chies didn't take care of him four years ago,
he wondered how long he would keep this property before selling to someone else
who would say they wouldn't have to follow the rules someone made five years
ago. Mr. Stoffers also wondered if there would be an increase or decrease in the
value of his home. He didn't have anything personal against Mr. Chies, just
in his business end.
Mr. Winters told the Planning Commission that Mr. Stoffers was not object-
ing to what Mr. Chies is doing, but he wants to make sure that Mr. Chies has to
follow through with what he said. All Mr. Winters could add was that it would
be his personal view, building under the HUD program, money will be withheld
until the work is done the way it was agreed upori.
Mrs. Donald Nelson: She mentioned that there is approximately forty little
children on Bacon Drive and the increase in traffic would be hazardous.
Chairman Erickson asked Mrs. Nelson if she would have the same objections
if the parking were on Osborne Road. She thought that would help, but it is a
busy street already.
Mrs. Nelson continued that the type

Referring to the parking, Mr. Winters explained that one of the reasons
for having the parking lots on Meadawmoor Drive was because Osborne Road is a
fast track at the present time. He didn't believe this housing would be a
dawngrade factor in the area.

deteriorate quite rapidly. He was sure the elderly could not keep them up, ��
and the homes would degenerate rapidly. The value of their homes would go
down. He objected.
1►lI�TION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission
close the Public Hearinq of the request for a Special Use Permit, 5P #70-02, by
Edward Chies, to permit housing for the E1der.Zy and Senior Citizens on Lots 6
through 11, Lots 15 through 20, Block 2, Meadowmoor Terrace. Upon a voice vote,
aTl voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
The Chairman suggested the Planning Coarmission should have more informatioa
concerning the HUD Program as far as occupancy of structure, requirements as far
as maintenance of buildings and grounds, construction of the buildings, owner-
ship, etc.
MiOTION by Harris, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission continue
until the next meeting (June 17th) the request for a Special Use Permit, SP
#70-03, by Edward Chies to permit housinq for the Elderly and Senior Citizens
in an R-1 District under the NUD Program No. 236. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting
aye, the motion carried unanimousZy.
3. PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP 4�70-04, A. T. GEARMAN DBA R& A
HOLDING CO.: Part of Lot 4, Auditor's Subdivision 4E59. Part of vacant
lot (120 x100') to be used for Mobile Home Sales.
Mr. Emil Novak, 6225 University Avenue N.E. introduced himself as manager
of the Moon Plaza property and representing the petitioner. He explained there
are long range plans for a permanent structure on this area, but the financial
situation, such as it is, and not having a prime tenant at hand, they considered
that in the interim period they could use the land for the sale of mobile homea.
These mobile homes would be "Select Homes of Cannon Falls", expensive units,
and at any time, no more than faur homes would be on display. The prime reason
for the better class homes would be to upgrade the tenancy of the mobile home
park. The property line of the lot we are talking about would be right at the
North end of the existing structure running to the property line of the Rice
Creek Office Building and is aside and apart from the general shopping �.rea.
David 0. Harris, 470 Rice Creek Blvd.: Mr. Aarris stated he was one of the
owners of 6279 University Avenue along with Dr. George J. Hayano, who was also
present this evening, and Virgil Herrick. He recognized the right of the
petitioner to ask for this type of waiver. He added, we are talking about a
large area that extends from City Hall to St. William's Church. t�ll business
is conducted within the structures and are permanent. We feel that such an
endeavor would certainly be a detriment to the area in general, and specifically
to our structure. They felt the people renting from them did not expect anythiag
else, beside the shopping center, would be in their view from that side of the
building. They made a substantial investment in the area and own land behind
their building. He did not think a mobile home sales in the area would enhance
it. He was here to object to this request on behalf of himself and the other
owners of the Rice Creek Office Building.
Dr. Hayano said Mr. Harris expressed his views.
i

Planning Commission Meeting - June 3, 1970 �ag,e 7
' 3�
Mr. Novak said that many people feel there is some stigma attached to
mobile homes. The sale of mobile homes is not in their long range plan, but
' temporary until they are in a position to build a structure such as they have
in the preliminary design. It would be a two story structure, roughly 10,000
or 12,000 feet on each floor and L shaped. He would like to comment in theix
defense, that the rear of the shopping center has been unsightly in the last
' few months, but it has been taken care of naw, and he did not wish to reflect
on the request for the Special Use Permit.
' Mr. David Harris commented that he was not against mobile home parks and
sales. Since he has been on the Council, there have been several mobile home
parks and mobile home sales permitted. He didn't feel he could be classified
as anti-mobile homes, but he just felt this request is in the wrong location.
' He thought in that area, it is not reasonable or feasible, especially in an
area where they are doing business primarily within the structures.
' Mr. Novak answered the question of where they would be conducting their
business, and he said they could maintain an office within the present shopping
structure with the access coming out onto this property. There would be a
' covered arcade to the shopping center where there would be access to public
f acilities, or they could operate in one of the units which were for sale.
1►1nTION by Harris, seconded by Minish, that the PZanning Commission close
the Public Hearing of the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #70-04, by A. T.
GearmaTi DBA R� A HoZdinq Co. for part of the vacant Lot 4, Auditor's Subdivision
#59 to be used for MobiZe Home Sales. Upon a voice vote, aZl voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schmedeke said that he had a few mobile homes and realized they take
up a lot of the area. He agreed this area could not contain more than four.
He noticed the lot was the proper size but does not £it the minimum of 12,000
square feet. He felt it was asking too much for this particular area and for
the present zoning ordinance. He did not see where they would have to delay
this or study it.
Mr. Harris said he concurred with Mr. Schmedeke and also believed it did
not fit in with the aesthetics of the area.
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Corranission recom-
mend to Council the denial of the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #70-04,
by A. T. Gea.rrnan, DBA R� A Holdinq Campany, to permit Mobile Home Sa1es in
C-2S District (general shopping areas) to be located in the Northerly portion
of Lot 4, Auditor's Subdivision No. 59. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Minish recalled that when the Board of Appeals granted a permit to
Castle Mobile Homes on Hwy. ��65, the permit was granted with the stipulation that
the property should be kept up, but the petitioner lost the incentive. He,
personally, was not impressed with their operation. Because this request is
f or a temporary sales, it is f urther reason for denial.
Mr. Fitzpatrick felt the Planning Commission should be consistent with
other requests of the same type and the denial was in accordance with this.

4. CONSIDER RESOLUTION BY PLAIvNING COMMISSION RE IMPROVEMENT OF DIRECTIONAL
AND LANE IDENTIFICATION SIGNS AT I. 4�694 INTERCHANGE WITH ANOKA COUNTY
HIGHWAY #1 and STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY ��47:
Mr. Schmedeke said the Police Department did a wonderful job on traffic
accident survey. He gave the following statistics taken from the report:
Universit Avenue, North and South of I. 4�694 from 53rd Avenue to 57th
Avenue: 26 personal iniuries, 39 property dama�e.
East River Road, North and South of I. �i�694 from 53rd Avenue to 57th Avenue:
28 personal iniuries, 39 property damage, 2 fatal.
Highway 4�65, North and Sauth of I. 4�'694 from 53rd Avenue to West.Moore Lake
Drive: 28 personal in_iuries, 29 property damages.
It was also noted the accidents were caused by failure to stop, confusion,
failure to yield, improper lane change and improper turn.
This makes a total of 189 accidents, 2 fatal, from February 3, 1967 to
December 3, 1969.
Mr. Schmedeke proposed putting signs on the bridge and passed around a
' drawing of what he had in mind to the Commission. He had found a few errors of
advanced warning signs coming North on University Avenue, signs left after a
semphore was installed.
'
'
The Engineering Assistant reported that corrections would be made where a
sign was hidden by signals, but the Highway Department would be relectant to
put signs on the bridge because they would be too difficult to maintain and
mount. The Department did not do that type of mounting but would have to take
bids.
' There followed a discussion of errors in design in the past on the inter-
changes of I. ��694 at the three highways and suggestions for correction of
the hazards.
MOTION by Harris, seconded b� Minish, that the Planning Commission recommend
to Council the adoption of the following Resolution Regarding the Improvement
of the Directiona.Z and Lane Identi fication Signs of Interstate No. 694 Inter-
changes with Anoka County Flighway No. 1 and State Trunk Highway No. 47 with the
addition of pertinent data suppZied by the PoZice Department to be attached to
the Resolution. Upon a voice vote, a1Z voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

' urge the Council to consider aZternatives to the present intersection of I.

Mr. Harris commented that the Planning Commission is pretty limited in
what they can do. Perhaps the signalling is a step forward or backwards. He
thought abaut ali�they could reasonably ask for is to clean up Yhe acces8 and
improve on what is down there.
Mr. Schmedeke called attention to the reflectorized street sigas in
Columbia Heights on 40th Avenue between Central and University Avenues, and
recommended the �mbers of the Planning Commttssion inspect them.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA,)
Mrs. Schack was present to presenC the request.
It was stated that the building was in excellent condition and that all
previous appeals for variances had been granted. A frost footing will be
put in because the garage will be treated as an attached garage. It was

long without any siding. Mrs. Schack was informed that the structure had
to be brought up to meet all City codes and she agreed that this would be
done.
MOTION by Tonco to recommend approval of the moving permit to move the
garage into Fridley subject to the following stipulations:
1. Ninety days from the time the permit is issued they must side the garage
with the similar siding that they will have on their new home.
2. A frost footing under the garage will be necessary because the Board
feels that the garage will eventually be attached to the home.
3. All electrical and mechanical aspects of this structure must be brought
up to meet City codes.

TO REDUCE THE SIDEYARD REQUIRII�NT FOR AN ACCESSORY BUILDING OPENING ON A SIDE

S� BEING 401-76TH AVENLTE N.E FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (RDQUEST BY I�IIt. CARL E. GABRIE'
DLEY, MINNESOTA.
Mr. � Mrs. Gabriel were present to present their request.
Pictures of the property, taken by the Building Inspector, and a survey shawing the
existing house and the proposed garage, were shown to the Board for thseis.revie�w.
Mr. Gabriel explained they will be constructing a small addition, with a deck
behind it, between the house and the garage. The garage will be 20 feet by 28 feet
and will be offset from the Weat side of the house by 10 feet. There will be 16
feet from the front of the garage to the boulevard and 9 feet of boulevard to
Sth Street.
Mr. 0'Ba:mon etated the code states 17.5 feet between the garage and the boulevard
to have room to park a car outside of the garage and still be parked on the ot�ner�
property.
Mr. Gabriel explained that he will be ias�l3�ing an $utomatic garage door opener
and also that there will be no outside entrance to the houae on the addition, so
the tendency would be to put the car in the garage and uae the entrance to the
house from the garage.
Chairman Minish asked why he didn't place the garage back further on the lot.
Mr. Gabriel answered that he did try to position the garage on other parts of the
lot but in each case there was either not enough footage to �et the requirements
or it would mean cutting down one or more of the very large Oak trees that are on
the lot.

2. The garage will be 25 feet, whi�ch includes the boulevard, from the atreet so
there should be no interference with traffic visibility.
3. The garage does not seem to interfere with any of the surrounding neighbors.
Seconded by 0'Bannon. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried

2. A R�QUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SF7CTION 45.053, 4B, SUBPARAGRAPfl 3, T�0 xEDIJCB TEIS
Mr. Trocke was preaent to present his request.
A picture taken by the Building Inspector, of the proposed garage area and a survey
I shawing the existing houae were shown to the Board. A letter from the property
owner to the South, Mr. Jacob Wojciak, stating he did not object tothe variance was
also ahown'to the Board.
Mr. Trocke explained the reason he needs the variance ia because the back of his
lot has a very ateep drop off and to place the garage back further wauld mean
bringing in quite a bit of fill to level off the land. Since the neighbor's home
is a walkout in the back also, the neighbor would end up having to look at a wall
of dirt if he had to -:f ill-r�i� _;back yszd.
Mr. Trocke stated further that there is an existing concrete slab where the proposed
garage is to be placed, which was installed before he bought the house. This elab
ia naw extended out to the property line. He is planning on partially ripping it
out to install frost footings.
The garage will be 15 feet by 24.5 feet and will be attached to`1�s hais�F: r�nu�e.
Pir. 0'Bannon stated there is a problem in maintaining the 15 feet between structures
as the dwelling to the South is approximately 10 feet 4 inchea from the property
line. We had a similar problem last year and we required that they fireproof the
whole garage.
Mr. Trocke stated that he would fireproof the whole garage if that was the anly
way to get the varfance but he didn't think it was neceasary ae hia gtrage wae i
not going to have an overhang and his neighbor had no overhang on hie house.
I�TION by 0'Bannon to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Drigans. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
unanimously.
l�DTION by 0'Baanoa to reco�nend to the Council approval of the request for the
follo�ing reasons aad atipulation;
1. We have received a letter from the property owner to the South stating he has
no objections to the variance.
2. The lot is a small lot, bei,� Q��,y 60 �eet wide.
3. The backyard is a walkout and it is impractical to bring in fill to aat the
ga=aga behind the houae. ,.._

Mr. Harry Hokemier was present to prese�at the requesta.
F ��:
Mr. Hokemier presented illustrations of both locations with the signs in place and
also photos of the areas t�htre the signa are to be erected. He explained the
exiating siga at 7002 Highway #EG5 is a Vern Donnay aign and haa beea at this
location for many years. The sign has to be Ealcea dawn as it ie placed on City
right of waq. The Naegele Outdoor Advertising sign is presently located at
7000 Highway �65 $nd is also located on City right-of-way property.
Mr. H�kemier stated that the present sign will be takea down and a new one put
back up. Naegele Sign Company does have a continuing lease with Penneylvania
Oil Companq which statea the sign will come dawn in the event the land ehould be
developed or sold. The distance to Locke Park is measuring at the closeat point
which is measuring back at a 45° angle through the trees.
Mr. Hokemier stated further that both signs will be all steel structures, 12 feet
bq 25 feet, double faced poster paaels. This is the size of eign that is used
by companies who wish to advertise nationally.
Mr. Drigans pointed out that in the public hearing notice for the aign at 7365
Highway �65, the aeventh line should read "set back from any residential area
(trailer park)" instead of "set back from any park".
l�ir. Hokemier stated that the variance is required on the siga to be erected on
7365 Highway �65 as the blocks are small and it is very hard to find a location
where you could stay 500 feet away from an intersection and still see the eign.
This aign will be located on the Eaet eide of the road on property owned by
Mr. Sheldon Morteason with whom they have a lesee which states the aign will
come down in the event the property is sold or if a permanent building is erected.
Some ecrub treed will have to be removed in order to erect this aign aad it will
be placed behind the proposed aervice road area.
