REGL'LAR COliNCIL M�ETING OF OC!'OB�R �, 1J7v
PAGE 2
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINTaIVCE PRUHIBITING THE DISPLAYING OF ANY FLAG OF ANY
COUNTRY IN WHICH THE UNITED STATES Or' AMERICA IS ENGAGED IN ARMED CONFLICT, AND
FURTHER PROHIBITING THE LOWERING OR REMOVING FROM ANY PUBLIC FLAGPOLE THE FLAG OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
Mayor Kirkham read the proposed Ordinance aloud and commented that he was very
interested in getting it adopted. He said as the Council recalls at the sug-
gestion of the City Attorney it was sent in to the office of the Attorney
General, but he declined to rule before passage of the Ordinance and indicated
that it would have to be tested in court.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the Ordinance on first reading. Seconded,
by Councilman Liebl for discussion.
Councilman Liebl questioned whether this would deprive anyone of their constitutional
rights. He asked the City Attorney if this Urdinance would stick in court. The
City Attorney said that there could be a problem with the first section of the
Ordinance and it could be declared unconstitutional. Councilman Liebl said that
he had discussed this with some of the patriotic citizens of Fridley and the
question was raised if this could be considered an insinuation that the State
and Federal Government are not doing everything they properly should. He asked
if this Ordinance could be enforced. The City Attorney said that this Ordinance
does definitely have some constitutional problems. It is hard to predict what
a court would do. It may enfringe on a person's right to freedom of speech.
If a person knowingly raised trouble by raising a flagr he could be arrested
by a Fridley pblice officer. The section concerning raising a red or black
flag has been ruled unconstitutional by the courts. Mayor Kirkham pointed out
that this was not tested in court. The City Attorney said that this is a grey
area and he could not say if it would be ruled unconstitutional. Councilman
Har�is said that he understood from the Attorney General's letter that if the
Ordinance was passed, then he would give an opinion. The City Attorney said that
he also got that feeling from the letter. Councilman Harris said that the
Council has the prerogative to sent it�back after passage. This Ordinance
would show that the City is concerned, as Americans, that this country should
protect the flag at all costs. Councilman Sheridan said that he agreed with
Councilman Harris. He a,sked if anyone displaying a flag that America is in
armed conflict with on his own,property would be in violation of the Ordinance.
Mayor Kirkham said that this is the way it was meant to be.
Councilman Breider said that he had done a lot of thinking about this particular
subject. The flag is the symbol of the United States. It was his feeling that
it was more the jurisdiction of the Federal Government to protect the symbol
than the City. He felt that the City may be stepping out of their realm. How
do you determine armed conflict? The City of Fridley,is so far removed from
whom we are•in armed conflict with. This would be a discretionary thing for a
police officer. Who would be authorized or assigned to raise and lower the
American Flag? Mayor Kirkham said that there is a person designated at City
Hall and at the schools to raise and lower the flag and no one else is authorized
to do so. He explained that this Ordinance is to prevent what happened in
Minneapolis where an American Flag was lowered and a Viet Cong flag raised.
There was nothing on the books to prevent this and the trouble makers were allpwed
to go free. This Ordinance would prevent this from happening in the City of
Fridley.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTUBER 5, 1970 ' PAGE 3
Councilman Breider said that he had an insecure feeling since the Attorney
General refused to give an opinion. If the Ordinance is passed and then Fridley
is forced to test it, what then? The City Attorney said that it would be tried
in our local court and it would be up to the district judge, then it could go
to the State Supreme Court. Lowering an American Flag illegally normally calls
for a U.S. Marshall or the F.B.2. but with this Ordinance it could also be the
Fridley Police Department. This could be said to overlap Federal jurisdiction
and may be invalid.
Councilman Breider said that it appeared to him that by pursuing this Ordinance,
the Council may be costing the citizens of Fridley a great deal of money if it
were to be tried in court. The Federal statutes govern this sort of thinq.
He said that he would have to vote against this Ordinance.
Councilman Liebl said that he thought that the Mayor had fine reasons for
bringing this Ordinance before the Council. As a Councilman, he is responsible
for his people. He said that he came from a country where there was no freedom
and he felt very strongly about takinq any freedoms away. The Legislators are
to decide what is best for the majority and in his experience with Federal law,
he felt that there was adequate protection. He felt that Section 96.01 would be
inviting unsavory elements into our society to raise trouble, and test the
Ordinance. He said that he would also have to vote against it.
Councilman Harris said that he would vote in favor of this Ordinance. He did not
want to subject the City to financial loss in a court test case, but if the
Ordinance does pass, he felt that it should be resubmitted to the Attorney
General. He felt that the Ordinance protects the rights of the people.
' Councilman Sheridan suggested that if this were to pass, submit it again to
the Attorney General. It would not be law until the publication of the Ordinance.
If the ruling is unfavorable, then it would not be published and would not be
� law. This would eliminate what Councilman Breider was concerned about. .He felt
that it would be hard to enforce and would put the burden on the patrol officer
to determine if the United States was in armed conflict with some country.
Mayor Kirkham felt that it was obvious who we are in armed conflict with. He
� said that a no vote would show just what is wrong with this country - why
hesitate to protect your flag? It seems that the United States is protecting
the criminal element.
Mr. Henry Peterson of the American Legion, said that there was an incident at
Seven Corners where some people were arrested, but they were let loose. The
American Legion is opposed to flag desecration. He felt that this was a good
move by the City Council in preventing what happened in Minneapolis, and there
should be more flag waving. (Applause fran the audience)
UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE, Sheridan, Kirkham and I3arris voting aye, Liebl and
Breider voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
Mayor Kirkham said that the second reading of the Ordinance would be back on
the Agenda for the Meetinq of October 19, 1970.
CONSZDERATIODT OF A FZNAL PLAT ONAi�i TERRACE , P. S. #70-02 BY +GEO1�E N. NELSON �

. ,a,.:,:�.. ; �^ =
The Cit� �ngi,neer �aid that �he Public Hearing was held on this item on Septe�jer
14th, and �he Minutes are to be found in the Agenda. The proposal is to split
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 1970
PAGF 4
the north portion into six residential lots fronting on Onondaga. Directly
below these lots is the R-1 area that the special use permit request is for.
They wish to use this area as parking and recreational. Below this is the R-3
where the building would be. The Planning Commission recommended approval of
both requests.
Councilman Breider said in considering the special use permit, that he could not
bring himself to believe that this was the intention of the ordinance, to allow
an additional use for multiple dwellings. He said that as far as he was concerned,
if he lived in this area, he would not want to have his back yard abut a parking
lot. The people in this area do not want this particuiar development.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to deny the special use permit and the final plat
Onan Terrace submitted by George N. Nelson. Seconded by Councilman Harris.
Councilman Harris said that he thought that Mr. Nelson did an excellent job in
the preparation of the plat. Since last time, he has had an opportunity to talk
to some of the people and look into the area. He explained that the City does
have a Board of Appeals and their philosophy might apply. The Board of Appeals
uses the guidelines that there must be a hardship shown, also they must have the
concurrance of the adjoining property owners. In this case there is no hard-
ship as there is available R-3 �and and the people are not in favor of the
development. He said that he did not want to discourage him from developing
in Fridley, there is still available land. He said that he was going to have to
deny the plat and special use permit.
Councilman Liebl said that about two years ago the Council reinforced the building
codes with the help of the Planning Commission and the previous City Attorney.
About 5 or 6 years ago there were some bad apartments put up, many in his ward.
They get run down and not maintained properly. Since then there is a stricter
building code. Mr. Nelson was told that under no circumstances was he to infringe
on the R-1. This is a complex with one million dollars assessed valuation, and
is presently zoned R-3. Land is scarce and vexy valuable. The Council must
strive toward a progressive attitude and he would like to see something put up
that is econocni,cally sound. He said that he must com4nend Mr. Nelson for working
with the Council in their wishes for the traffic to go out on 73rd, providing
screening and the quality construction. He said that this would be good for
Fridley and he must disagree with Councilmen Harris and Breider. He would be
sorry to see every apartment development turned down. He said that he was in
favor of this development because of the quality of construction and the amount
of money that is to be put into each unit.
Gouncilman Breider pointed out that he was elected to represent his ward and he
must look at what the people wish for the area.
Councilman Sheridan said that he would have to disagree with Councilman Liebl.
If the area where the special use permit is requested were not to be used in the
total land area so that the presently zoned R-3 could be increased in density,
then Perhaps the people would be more favorable to the proposal. With the increase
in density, this special use permit is in reality a rezoning in another sense.
As Councilman Harris indicated, there was almost unanimous objection from the
people in the neighborhood.
Councilman Harris told Mr. Nelson that this was a fine plan and the quality is
such that he would be proud to have in the coiamunity. He hoped that he would be
'
�
'
�
�
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 1970 PAGE 5
willing to come back as he would welcome this type of building and construction.
The City does have areas to be developed R-3 which he hopefully can acquire.
The Ordinance was not intended to increase density by granting a special use
permit. Mayor Kirkham said that he must agree with Councilman Harris and he hoped
he could find a way to come back into the City, but as Councilman Sheridan
indicated to use a special use permit to effect a rezoning is not what the
special use permit was designed for.
THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, Harris, Breider, Sheridan, and
Kirkham voting aye, Liebl voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.�
� CONSIDERATION OF FINAL PLAT, P.S. #70-03, INNSBRUCK NORTH, GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH
OF HIGHWAY 694 BETWEEN MATTERHORN DRIVE AND THE FRIDLEY - NEW BRIGHTON BOUNDARY
BY VIEWCON INC., AND CONSIDERATIOI3 OF THE REZONING RE UEST ZOA #70-05, FROM R-1
TO R-3A BY VIEWCON, INC.:
LJ
,
The City Engineer said that this item was considered at the Public Hearing
Meeting flf September 14th, and the Minutes are to be found in the Agenda. The
requests are for approval of a final plat and the rezoning of Parcels C& D to
R-3A.
Councilman Harris said that the law offices of F'udali, Remes & Fudali, representinq
� Viewcon have tried to answer some of the questions raised at the last meeting in
their letter dated October 2, 1970. There were some questions raised concerning
the routing of the traffic from the apartment houses east to 5ilver Lake Road.
, Fridley's approval of the proposal, then New Brighton's denial would result in
the traffic exiting onto Regis and Hackmann.
� The City Attorney suggested that when the lots are bought, there could be a
common easement running to each'of the lots in the development for access onto
Silver Lake Road. As this would then be a common easement and the developer would
have the right to construct the road, and is outlined thoroughly in the cammuni-
� cation from Fudali. Fudali has agreed to bond for the construction of the road.
This would assure the road being built and if approval is given contingent upon
this, he would feel secure. Councilman Harris asked if this would be a platted
, road. The City Attorney said no, a private easement. This road would be defined
and would meet New Brighton specifications as to construction and width. Access
is not limited onto Silver Lake Road. Councilman Harris asked what contact
�
Viewcon has had with New Brighton.
Mz'. Richard Fudali, Attorney for Viewcon, said that there has been no specific
comment from New Brighton. The dedication would be made according to what
Fridley specified. Fridley could then check with New Brighton for the making of
the dedication. It was felt that they would have to come to Fridley first
before New Brighton to get the rezoning. The dedication of the easements will
provide access to Silver Lake Road. He said that they would post a bond for the
construction of the road. A method had to be set up for the protection of Fridley
to get the traffic out to the east. It should be set up so that New Brighton
does not have the controls to change at a later date. He said that they would do
everything to the satisfaction of the City Attorney and the City Engineer. The
temporary construction of the road would be prior to any buildinq permits for the
fiouses. There is a lot of engineering and survey work before finally going
ahead, but there has to be a starting point. The owners of the land are also
cognizant of the plan for access and will cosnply with them.
REGULAR COUNCIL ivi'r,ETINi� Oi' OCTGBEF? ��, 197�
PAGE 6
Councilman Harris asked it they were looking for conc�pt 3pproval rather than
approval of the final plat. The road in New Brighton would still be part of the
plat.
Councilman Sheridan said cYiat thez�e are two separa�� actiorx:�. Une is the can-
sideration �� the final plat, ds�iqnating 120 residf�i:tial �ots in the westerly �i
of the total complex leaving four outlots; A, B, C� D. The other consideration
is the first reading of the rezoning ordinance for �:hztlots C& D. At the first
reading the Council could stipulate that the second reading would not be until all
the points brought out in the letter from Fudali are met. fie said that as he
understood it, if New Brighton never accepts the dedicati�ns from the City of
Fridley to Silver Lake Road, the road would still be put in by the developer
with private easements to �very home. The easement wcruld go with the property,
and there would be no way the Village of New Brighton co�.ild vacate the easement.
Councilman Harris asked if they could give concept approval. Councilman Sheridan
said that this would not give Viewcon the right to ask tY�e City to proceed with
the insttlllation of facilities. They want to start �kieir developm�nt in the
westerly �. Whether the rezoning of Outlots C& D gces through or not, they
could still proceed with the plat as it would be of record.
Mr. Fudali said that Viewcon does not �eel that the City is taking any risk in
accepting the plat. It is not necessary ta provide access from the residential
portion to Silver Lake Road. They would want to file th� plat on the R-1 portion.
The rezoning would not be done until there is egress and ingress to Silver Lake
Road. The rezoning is more complex than the matter of the platting into home
sites. He said that they have submitted a topography with the proposed plat.
There followed an extensive meeting at the Council table while looking at the plat
and the topography.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to accept the final ��lat of �IiFwcon Ina. for the
residential 120 lots with Outlots A,B,C, & D. Before signi.ng the final plat the
corrections discussed will be made to the plat before them t21is eveniny. Also
before signing the hard shell nf the plat the road configuratiar, is to be approved.
Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, aIl votinq ay�,, Mayor Kirkhdm
declared the motion carried u�animously.
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF FRIULEY, NIINNESOTA BY
MAKING A CHANGE IN ZONING DISTRICTS: (VIEWCON INC.)
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to approve tne Ordinance on first reading and waive
the reading. The second reading not to be until the list of stipulations listed
in the comm}inication fr�n Fudali, Ftemes & Fudali dated October 2, 1970 are met and
other items such as sanitary sewer and drainage problems as mentioned by the City
Engineer are resolved. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a rall call vote,
Harris, Liebl, Breider, Sheridan, and Kirkham voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING PETITION #14-1970 REQUESTING IMPROV�MENT OF 4TH STREET
BETWEEN 53RD AND 54TH AVENUE: (ST. 1971-1)
The City Engineer said that the analysis of the petztion is to be found on Page
43 of the Agenda. Yt is over 50� both by owners and front footage. This item
was authorized for improvement by Counc�l resolution, then after some discussion
with the people who o��osed the improvement at a later Council Meeting it was deleted.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEE'I'ING OF OCTOBER 5, 1970 PAGE 7
Councilman Liebl said that when this was first discussed he recommended to the
Council that 6th Street be deleted, but 4th Street to be improved. The majority
of the people seemed to approve, but since then there has been some opposition.
Now there is a petition for the improvement of 4th Street froan 53rd Avenue to
54th Avenue.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to authorize putting 4th Street and the alley between
4th Street and 5th Street back into the Street Improvement Project 3t. 1971-1.
Seconded by Councilman Sheridan.
Councilman Liebl said that he received a comment from Mr. John Anderson saying that
he was opposed to the improvement, but leaving it up to the Council's discretion.
The City Engineer said that they were following the general concept of locating
work in the same general area for a total savings to the abutting property owners.
Honoring this petition would leave only a small portion of the street in need of
repair. When this plan was presented, the idea was to clean up this area. His
reco�nrnendation would be to put in the street as previously authorized.
A lady in the audience said that she lives on 4th Street and there are cars
parked in the street all the time. It is nearly impossible to get through. The
�aving has not helped on 5th Street. The City Engineer said that when the curbing
is put in, this would help keep the cars off the street. The lady asked if there
could not be signs put up. The City Engineer said that they had been ordered.
He added that one alley has been deleted as it only served two garages, but he
felt that the alley between 4th Street and 5th Street from 54th Avenue to the
Outer Drive of I. 694 should be put in up to the apartment house parking area.
Councilman Liebl said that the point was to get the cars off the street by the
apartment complex. This should aid in picking up the garbage also, by making it
easier to service the area.
A resident of the area said that when Standard Station on 53rd Avenue put in their
� apron, there is water standing. Sometimes it stands there for about a week
before it dries up. The City Engineer said that this is one of the problems he
hoped to solve. The Star�dard Oil station is rejuvenating their business. The
� City Engineer told him that this would be taken care of.
THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSI'ON REGARDING PETITION #13-1970 AGAINST SIDEWALKS ON WEST MOORE LAKE DRIVE
FROM CAROL TO BAKER STREETS:
Councilman Sheridan said that this petitionwas received at the last regular Council
Meeting and the people were advised that the Council would take action after
Administrative review, which shows that the petition is 86� by ownership and 91�
by front footage. He said that he had some discussion with people living in this
area on the telephone although they were not on the side the sidewalks are proposed
for. They were not in favor of the sidewalk improvement. He said that speaking
for himself, he would like to see the sidewalk program continued but with this
sizeable petition, he felt that they would have to accede to their request.
Councilman Harris said that he had talked to people in Bloomington and they put
the sidewalks right next to the curbing, then the children have an elevated walk--
way to wa�k on. When the snowplow plows, he �caises the plade and does the sidewalks
also . ,. .
REGULr�2 COU.�CIL MEE`PI,dG ��F OCTO:iEk `, l�?r, P?�!'r' $
Mr. C�rtis Hebeison, 901 West Moore Lake Drive said that they were asking that
•the sidewalks be deleted for a number oi reasons which have already been stated.
He said that he thought that the petition was 100�. Councilman Sheridan said that
when the petition is checked, the fee owners are used. This could make the
difference, although even so, it is a sizeable petition.
Mayor Kirkham asked if it would make any difference to the people's feeling if
the sidewalks were p�:t next to the curbing. Mr� Hebeison said that one person
commented that if they had to liave sidewa:iks, Yie would like them next to the curbing,
but everyone else is opposed to sidewalks. The feeling is that they are not
needed. Mrs. Warr.en Hanson, 900 West Moore Lake Drive, said that in her opinion
they would not be used anyhow. The children still walk in the street, and the
cars still have to go around them. The elementary children are bused to either
Hayes or Rice Creek Schools, so there are not any elementary school children
walking to school.
Mr. Sol Gunzburger, 6209 Baker Avenue N.E., said that nobody walks on the sidewalks
that are in now. In the winter time they are covered with snow. The boulevards
grow nothing but weeds. He said that he did not want sidewalks.
MOTION by Councilman Sneridan to reconsider previous Council action and delete
the sidewalks from one lct east of Baker Avenue to Carol Drive on West Moore
Lake Drive under Street Improvement Project St.. 1971-2. Seconded by Councilman
Liebl.
Mayor Kirkham asked the Acting City Manager to read aloud the letter received
from School District #14 School Board, which he did. Councilman Harris pointed
out to the people that the home owners were not to be asszssed, as it indicates
in the letter. This is because of a change in the State law whereby State Aid
€unds can be used for sidewalks on a State Aid road. Mr. Hebeison said that any
cost would be the least of their considerations, they still did not want the
sidewalks. Mr. Gunzburger said that if the trucks were tal:en off West Moore
Lake Drive it would not need the improving. Councilman 5heridan said that they
cannot prohibit any vehicle as long as it is within the load limits. A resident
of the area said that his main concern was for his privacy. He felt that the
sidewalks would pass right by his windows. A lady in the audience asked if
the Council could not encourage the Police Department to enforce the 30 M.P.H.
speed limit more closely on West Moore Lake Drive. She added that with the
wider street there would be greater safety for the pedestrians.
THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Harris suggested that there should be some resolution or ordinance
outlining the policy of the Council in regard to the assessment policy for
sidewalks.

ORDINANCE NO. 465 - AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE CHANGE, OBSTRUCTION, RECONSTRUCTION,
OR ALTERATION OF ANY PUBLIC WATER OR WATERWAY WITHIN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY WITHOUT
A WRITTEN PERMIT FROM THE CITY ENGINEER:
Mrs. Ralph Erkel, 567 Rice Creek Terrace asked if this permit is not a duplication
of the State permit. The City Attorney explained that it goes one step further.
�en if a person gets a permit from the State, it would not be required to get
one from Fridley. Th�s City has many beautiful watenaays and the Council wants
to make sure they are kept that way. Mayor Kirkham said that the City may not
have the same considerations that the State would have, and the City wanted to
make sure they were protected. Councilman Harris commented that he noticed that
there were quite a few Rice Creek residents in the audience and read the
proposed Ordinance aloud.
Dr. Erkel said that nature also changes the creek's course. Mrs. Erkel asked
why there was a fee involved. The City Attorney said that this was because the
City Engineer would be required to review ti�e plans and visit the site.
The City Engineer suggested sonte minor changes in the Ordinance as it appears in
the Agenda. There should be added "Norton Creek" and the work "lakes" in the first
paragraph so that it would read: "---fol3.owin
g public waterways or lakes ---".
MOTION by Councilman Harris to adopt Ordinance No. 465 as amended on second reading
and order publication. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a roll call vote,
Harris, Breider, Sheridan, Kirkham, and Liebl voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried unanimously.

�GULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 1970 PAGE 10
PERMIT RE UEST BY DR. RALPH 0. ERKEL TO DO WORK ON THE RICE CREEK BANK AT 567
RICE CREEK TERRACE:
Dr Ralph Erkel said that it was his intention to preserve R.ice Creek, and try to
keep the trees from falling into the creek. He hired a man with a backhoe to do
some work which was stopped by the Police Department. At the time of the
tornado, he spent about $1800 in filling in the area. Now another wing is
eroding away. He said that he did not know that it would become a civic concern.
He said that he had built a retaining wall and his neighbor put in logs to hold
the bank•and try to prevent the erosion. He said that after the work was stopped,
he went to the Conservation Department for a permit. He admitted that he should
have done that first. He said that he felt that the Ordinance that was passed
this evening was directed at him. He said that he could not change the course of
the creek unless he diked it. "
Mrs. Barbara Hammerlund. 573 Rice Creek Terrace, said that they lost about 3 feet
of their property by it washing away, plus one tree. Two more are about to go.
Councilman Harris said that there was no attempt in the Ordinance to preves►t
people from taking care of their property. He said that he also �ives on the
creek and has the same problem of the water cutting into the bank. If he were to
divert the creek inadvertently, the people down the creek from him would su£fer.
�he Ordinance was passed in the public interest to preserve what nature gave to
Fridley. _
Mrs. Hammerlund said that she objected most strenuously to the $25 charge for the
permit. Councilman Harris said that this is to cover the Administrative costs.
She felt that the charge was unfair and there should not even be a charge.
Councilman Breider said that he looked at the creek the day the backhoe was there
and it appeared to him that the water was being diverted to the other side of the
creek. Mrs. Hammerlund said that they loved that creek and would not do anything
to hurt it. She agreed that there should be a permit but they should not be
ch�ged money to tell them what they can and cannot do to their own property.
Councilman Harris said that perhaps she was right, but he said that there
should be a permit so that the City would know what is going on in any specific
area. Councilman Sheridan said that if a home owner put up a garage, they must
pay a fee. Dr. Erkel mentioned a retaining wall. If there is an improvement to
the creek with a retaining wall, there should be a fee. Councilman Harris said
that this would not be trying to improve the creek, but trying to prevent the
erosion by natural causes. It would be maintenance. Mrs. Erkel said that when
they started, they did err, and should have asked for a permit fro[�t the
Gonservation Department. She said that she was there when the men from the
Conservation Department came out and they agreed with what they were doing, and
suggested hauling in the rocks for ttie shore. This would be a considerable
expense. They have enough property now and the last thing they i�eed is more
property. She said that they thought they were doing the right thing. The
Conservation Department said that it was too bad they did not get a permit in the
beginning to eliminate the problems with the neighbors.
Councilman Harris said that this problem came to light before their disa►greement
with Mr. Robert Mindez. When Medtronics was built, they wanted to put in a bridqe
across the creek and came before the Council voluntarily. They had to get a
permit fr�n the Conservation Department, but it did not specify the heiqht. The
Council asked them to leave sufficient head room for canoeists at high water.
Had they not come before the Council th'e City could have been stuck with a low
bridqe and nothing could be done about it. This is one of the reasons this
:2EGULAR COUNCIL MEETIN:� OF OCTOBER 5, 1970 PAGE 11
Ordinance was drafted. Councilman Liebl added his assurance that this Ordinance
was not set out for one single individual. He said that at tiunes it is necessary
to clean the creek, but the people must be careful not to hurt their neighbors.
Councilman Breider said that it seemed the problem is a shifting creek. He asked
the Erkels and Mr. Minder what would be an acceptable solution.
Mr. Robert Minder, 550 Rice Creek Boulevard, said that he had no objection to
someone improving the creek. He said that he knew that the water will cut into
the banks. His feeling was that if they were going to improve the creek,
everyone in the area is going to have to get together and hire an engineer and
have the project done right. This would cost a great deal of money. It should
be made a project all up and down the creek. He said that he would not object
to this and would be willing to pay his fair share.
Mrs. Erkel asked Mr. Minder if he felt that they were hurting the creek. Mr.
Minder said that they were cutting down ir,to the clay at the bottom of the creek
and the first time there is high water, it will wash the clay away. He would
have no objection to doing the thing right but he did not think just one person
on one side of the creek can do the project correctly.
The City Engineer said that the permit states that they wish to cut down into
the creek bottom one foot. The permit from the Conservation Department requires
City action on it. The City Attorney asked if they planned on digging out one
foot and putting rocks on the bank. Mrs. Erkel said that they would do the
work according to the Conservation Department specifications. Councilman Breider
asked what would happen if they did not dig out the bottom, but just put the rocks
on the bank. Mrs. Erkel said it was difficult to say, and that they would follow
the Conservation Department's recommendations.
' Mayor Kirkham explained that one reason there is a need for a City permit is so
that the City is assured that there is a Conservation Department permit. If
there is'a City permit there would be some control and the City is not trying
, to force anything undue onto anyone. He said that they were trying to resolve
this without having a neighborhood squabble.
Mr. Minder said that before the Conservation Department_will approve a permit it
� has to be 5hown how it will affect all the creek bottom down stream. If Dr.
Erkel will bring in his plans to the City Engineer so he could check them out then
he did not think anyone would object. He said that he would also like to check
' the plans. He said that he was out of town when Dr. Erkel started his work. Mrs.
Erkel said that he has been in town since then and could have seen the plans by
asking,
�
�J
'
,
��
The City Attorney said that he felt that the City could approve the rocks on the
bank, but he did not see how they could approve digging the channel one foot
deeper, and the City Engineer agreed.
Councilman Breider said that when he was at the site, it appeared to him that the
water tended to flow to the opposite bank. Mrs. Hamrc�erlund said that that was
where the creek was 10 years ago. They were just bringing it back to it's
original location.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the rocks on the bank and deny the
digging portion of the request.
REGULAR COL'NCIL MEETING OF OC:TOBER 5, 19%0
PAGE 12
Councilman Harris said that he would take the opinion of the City Attorney and
approve the rocks on the bank but until there is more available information he did
not see how the Council could approve digging the channel deeper on his side of the
creek.
Mrs. Hammerlund asked if the City could help on the plans. Councilman Breider
asked if this would be too much trouble. The City Engineer explained that there
are about 15 communities involved in the Rice Creek Watershed District. It
would be very difficult to isolate a portion of the creek. The drainage would be
mare as the areas are built up. The City of Fridley has been working toward a
watershed district. Councilman Liebl said that this is a problem of the Rice
C.reek Home Owners Association. They should start doing something to p�reserve
the creek, or they will lose it. Councilman Harris commented that by his house
where the ducks used to swim, they now walk.
A member of the audience said that he is also against the $25 charge. He said that
his neighbor has trees that are about to fall into the creek and this would also
be an obstruction to a canoeist. Councilman Breider asked if it would be possible
to correct the Fridley portion of the creek. The City Engineer said that Fridley
cannot solve the problem, there must be a mutual effort of all the people up
stream and Fridley.
THE MOTION seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carri.ed unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to bring Ordinance #465 back before the Council for
reconsideration. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt Ordiriance #465 an second reading, and
order publication. Seconded by Councilman Harris.
MOTI.ON by Councilman Breider to amend the motion to approve the Ordinance by
removing the $25 fee for the permit. Seconded by Councilman Harris.
Councilman Sheridan said that there are Administrative costs and there should be
a fee involved. Councilman Breider asked what tax bracket a house on the creek
is in versus one that is not. The Acting City Manager said that if a lot had a
$5000 market value, on the creek it would be $8000 -$9000, or approximately
20$ higher. Councilman Breider said that if a person is trying to preserve the
natural course of the creek they should be allowed to do so.
Mr, Andrew Kohlan said that all the sand and dirt in the creek dces not cane
from work of individual owners cleaning up the creek. It is coming fraa residential
construction and commercial and industrial work. He said that almost every sum�ner
he cleans out the creek. The bulk of the things that people would do dces not
require supervision. When the church was built, the residue washed dawn into the
creek. He asked that the permits be placed where they belong, not on the small
property owner.

RECEIVING PLANS FROM THE MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPARTMF3t�T FOR T.H. #47 (UNIVERSITY
AVENUE) FENCING FR(JM CITY LIMITS TO 69TH AVENUE AND ALSO DISCUSSION REGARDING
T.H. #47 SLIP-OFF AND CIRCLE FLOW IN HYDE PARK AREA:
The City Engineer said that he wanted to apprise the Council of the Highway
Department's plans to fence T.H. #47 from the City limits to 69th Avenue with
chain link fencing. This is the same plan as was requested by the City a few
years ago. There will be openings at signalized intersections.
Councilman Harris pointed out the need for a signal at 69th Avenue. He said that
the bicylce and pedestrian traffic comes from the east side of T.H. #47 from
69th Avenue area and crosses over at the creek to get onto the service road.
He felt that there should be an opening provided there.
' The City Engineer said that there is a shortage of funds for signalization.
These plans for the fencing do not need City approval, it all comes from State
funds. There have been requests made by the City for a signal at 69th, but there
' has to be certain criteria established by the Highway Department for signals. He
said that the Council rezoned a portion of Hyde Park to commercial and planned
the slip off, with permission from the Highway Department. Since then, as outlined
in the letter from the Highway Department dated September 29, 1970, they feel
� that they cannot give the right of way for the service road, because of their
plans for the fencing, among other reasons. They suggest that it w�ould not be a
good plan to have a service road so close to an expressway and that the City try to
� cqme up with an alternate plan. The City would have to condemn to get the
property now. There has been s�ne interest in the area about someone buying the
whole block. Maybe at this time the City could get the slip-off, and would ask
later for a dedication if the development warrants. He said that Mr. Dick Elasky
' of District Five is present to answer questions. He said that the Cit�y will have
to move on the slip-off as he would like to let the bids this winter.
Councilman Liebl said that the Council has worked for the last three years to
get the area from 60th Avenue to 57th Avenue between University Avenue and 2nd
Street cleaned up, and the Highway Department concurred with the City's plans. The
Council rezoned ;his and now the Highway Department has changed their minds.
Mr. Dick Elasky representing the District Engineer, said that he could safely
state theslip-off will be a possibility, but the additional right of way appears
not to be available. Originally the request was made to Mr. Burrill, then the
District Engineer, and since then he has been transferred. Subsequently many
factors came to light. As outlined in the letter from Norm Osterby, District
Engineer dated September 29, 1970, they feel that they cannot give the right of
way for the service road for the reasons stated.
Councilman Liebl asked if they still approved of the slip-off, and ca�amented that
without the slip-off the rezoning might not have been done. Mr. Elasky said that
this is correct to his knowledge. Councilman Liebl said that the City has 12' and
needed 8' riqht of way from the Highway Department to make a 20' one way road.
Councilman Liebl said that the City should move on the slip-off so that the bid
can be let during the winter to get a better bid price. Mayor Kirkham cammented
that it appears that the City will have to give up on t�he �lans for the service
road. Perha�s the City can pec�otiate wi,th the Hiqhway Department, the� maX w�� it.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 5 P 1 A7�? g,p,�`x� ��
The City Engineer said that the fencing would be quite close to the right of way.
Councilman Sheridan said that the prev�ous City Manager and himself interpreted
the �etter to mean that they were not being turned dowri and that the Highway
Department approved of the Circle Flow pattern. If it would have been denied
then, perhaps the Gouncil would have acted differently, and the rezoninq might
not have taken place. The City Attorney said that the City may be able to force
compliance of the Highway Department based on the letters previously sent and
received. Mayor Kirkham said that it was agreed that the Hyde Park pattern was
to be a staged program. Councilman Sheridan said that the total development may be
such that the one way service road may be unnecessary. If it should be necessary,
perhaps the City would have to go back to the Highway Depar trnent and try to force
compliance.
Councilman Harris asked about the loopbacks in relation to the fencing. The City
Engineer said that they were provided for, the fence will start further back.
Councilman Harris said that there was a necessity for the fence south of I. 694,
but questioned the need for it north of I. 694. He said that it would not add
aesthetically to the area. Mr. Elasky said that the fencing is proposed for the
safety of the pedestrians, but it could be deleted from the plans north of I. 694.
He said that he believed that 73rd Avenue is slated for signals. For signalization,
there must be certain criteria met. The Highway Department felt that a signal nt
73rd was critical because of the Ice Arena traffic. He said in their opinion 73rd
Avenue needed a signal worse than 69th Avenue. Councilman Harris said that his
understanding was that the Highway Department indicated that there were to be
signals on T.H. #47 every four blocks. Mr. Elasky said that it was just a matter
of time and available money. They have traffic problems in other counties also,
and the signals have to be justified by a system of warrants. The situation must
he critical.. CounciLnan Harris asked how rnuch for a signal and Mr. El�sky said
from $30,000 to $35,000, would be the approximate cost for or�e intersection.
Mayor Kirkham said that he would like to have a meeting to discuss the fencinq
from ti� freeway north to 69th Avenue. Councilman Sheridan agreed that it would
merit some further discussion. �
RESOLUTION #194-1970 - RESOLUTION RE UESTING THE STATE TO WITHHOLD INSTAL
LATION OF FENCING ON T.H. #47 NORTH OF I. 694:
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to adopt Resolution #194-1970. Seconded by Councilman
Sheridan.
Mr. Eldon Schmedeke said that he would frown on fencing north of I. 694 and he was
sure the other businesses would also. He asked that the Council not abandon the
plan Circle Flow as the people are still planning on it in the area. Mr. Elasky
asked him what would be his objection. Mr. Schmedeke said that he has a used
car aqency and he did not think that a fence would help him any to display the
cars.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to authorize the Administration to proceed with
negotiations for the right of way only for the slip-off into Hyde Park at 60th

Mr. Elasky appologized for any commitments that may have been made by the City
based on prior approval. He said that things do not stay static and do change.
The granting of the slip-off is a unique situation.
DISCUSSION REGARDING CQMPLETION OF INSTALLATING SIDEWALKS ON EAST SIDE OF T.H. #47
(UNIVERSITY AVENUE) EAST SERVICE ROAD FROM MISSISSIPPI STREET TO 57TH AVENUE:
The City Engineer said that he was bringing this matter to the attention of the
' Gouncil at this time because of the proposed fencing. If University Avenue is
fenced, there would be sidewalks needed. Some of the sidewalks are already
completed, and he wished to know if the Council wants him to proceed with the
installation of the rest of the sidewalks at this time. Councilman Harris
' commented that �ere is only one vacant lot along this stretch of road. The City
Engineer added that the 115 KV poles will be removed.

RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS - DESIGN CONTROL MEETING OF
SEPTEMBER 28, 1970:
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A FOOD PROCESSING PLANT TO BE LOCATED
ON LOT 4, BLOCK 4, COMMERCE PARK, THE SAME BEING 7350 COMMERICE LANE, FRIDLEY,
MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY TOTINO'S FINER FOODS, 5701 W. 36TH STREET, MINNEAPOLIS,
MINNESOTA):
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to concur with the Building Board for the issuance of
a foundation permit for Totino's Finer Foods subject to compliance with the five
stipulations of the Board.
The City Engineer said that this was to be a nice building and is located north
of Minco. The front is all brick and it is a nice development. He raised the
question on the screening of the refuse area. The Board has stipulated that
screening would be required if the refuse area is not kept in an orderly manner.
He wondered how do you detexmine if it is kept in an orderly manner.
Councilman Liebl said that he had faith in Mr. Tonco's judgment, and that he is
usually right.
Mr. Bob Willow of Totino's, was present and said that they presently are located
in St. Louis Park. He said that they plan to compact their refuse and there would
be no open refuse. The compactor would be enclosed, and there would be a truck
backed up to the back door for the disposal of the refuse after compaction.
After compaction the refuse would go into a bin and the trucks would periodically
pick it up. They felt that this would be a better method than burning. It is all
U.S.D.A. inspected.
Councilman Liebl extended his welcome to the City of Fridley. The City Engineer
raised the question of whether there would be any smell. Mr. Willow said that he
had talked to Mr. Harvey McPhee,the Health Sanitarian, about this and they do
not feel that there will be any smell due to their cooking and cooling process.
He said that they would be putting in a bakery, but Mr. McPhee did not feel that
this would be an offensive odor.
The City Engineer said welcaae to the City and offered his help in the continuation
of their plans.
THE MOTION was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Keigh Bednarowski of Rauenhorst Corporation said that they also have an

Counci,lman Harris asked haw much has been set aside for this improvezaent. The
City Enqineer said 510,000., The low bid.of $10,933.25 prpvides for the water line
and hydrant also, so it would be close to the estimate. The a1tl�rnate of
$6,701.75 is needed to do the gradinq and.put in top �oil and �eedinq. It is
to be completed November 30th, with the seeding done next sprinq. He felt that
the bid and the alternate were reasonable fiqures. Councilman Harris aaid that he
assumed that it would cost less if both the base and the alternate Wera done at
the same time.

Councilman Sheridan said that the Acting City Manager has indicated that there
� would not be enough funds in the budget for this work unless it was taken out of
other funds. He felt that they should go ahead so this facility could be used.
He suggested after the public hearing meeting next Tuesday, that there be some
discussion on other parks that are also needed. He pointed out that park lands are
� badly needed in the southwest corner of the community. The property costs a
prohibitive amount so he questioned the possibility of leasing land for �aething
like a 10 year period fran ti�e railroad. There could be ball diamonds put in and
' amortize the cost over the length of the lease. Some of the property that the
railroad holds may not be developed for another 10 years. Councilman Harris
caiaiaented that this was discussed at the time of the park bond issue.

Mayor Sheridan Pro tem called the Special Public Hearing Meeting cf October 13,
1970 to order at 7:50 P.M. He said that Councilman Harris' absence is an
excused absence as he is attending an N.S.S.S.D. meeting in regard to sewer charges.
ADOPTIGN OF AGENDA:

Request for Variances by Mr. & Mrs. Rowland Jacobsen.
MOTION by CounCilman Liebl to adopt the Agenda as amended. Seconded by Councilman
Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Sheridan Pro tem declared the
motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT - STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1971-3:
Mayor Sheridan Pro tem asked Councilman Breider to read the Public Hearing
Notice aloud for the benefit of the audience.
The City Engineer said that the City has been concerned about the problems and
the safety on East River Road for a number of years. The City has been working
with the County for the last 5 years to try to get East Ri.ver Road improved
for increased safety. He said that he was sure that most of the audience was
familiar with the problems. The accident rate for East River Road is high and
it has been said that it is the most murderous road in the City of Fridley
He then showed on the screen the number of deaths there have been within the
City since 1963 with the locations marked. There has been a total of 24 deaths,
and of these 12, or 50$, have been on East River Road. Of these 12, 50� occurred
on the stretch of road now under consideration which is the stretch.from I. 694
to Rice Creek. This was the reason this portion of the road was selected for
improvement first. Eventually the improvement will carry to the City limits.
Other factors point out that this road should be improved first as soon as
possible as it is going to worsen as the years go by because of further
developments of the vacant land, and the completion of i. 94. He then showed
traffic counts for East River Road, T.H. #47 and T.H. #65 with the present
traffic counts. The major portion of the traffic on East River Road is coming
fran the Fridley residents. The count shows that 3/4 of the traffic is generated
in Fridl�y and �a comes from outside the City. The projected figures for 1975
shows that where the traffic count is now 19,000 it will rise to 27,000. He
said that the major concern is getting on and off East River Road safely.
There ,'ts no increase in lanes proposed because it is felt that this is a City
arterial road. Traffic should be encouraged to use T.H. #47 and T.H. #65.
The proposed improvement would provide �dditional turning lanes, shoulders and
y ' ,
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF OCTOBER 13, 1970 PAGE 2
signals. Basically the improvement is for Fridley residents. It is felt that
the City cannot afford to let this number of people get killed. He then showed
the traffic history in 1969 on tiie screen and said �i:hat it shows that turns
and yields are the major causes of accidents. Next comes speed and negligence,
then road conditions last. There were four deaths from people turning fran the
wrong lane. To avoid this condition, what is being proposed is a development
like the one on T.H. #47 with turning lanes, and limiting left turns to
signalized intersections. There is a signal proposed near 60th Avenue and the
plans are to upgrade the signal on Mississippi Street. To get the traffic to
the signals it is proposed using the back roads to come into the signals.
Originally the talk was to condemn some homes on Riverview Terrace and put that
road all the way through, then in subsequent discussions this plan was abandoned.
It is the City's hope that this plan will reduce the accidents to a minimum.
Mayor Sheridan Pro tem said that the City and the County have worked on this
problem for a number of years. In this particular instance the County is the
prime znover in upgrading this section. They made surveys and hired an independ-
ent consultant, then held a County Public Hearing September 23rd. He advised
the audience that Mr. Jake Lundheim, County Engineer, and Mr. Larry Gardner,
of E.C. Bather and Associates are present to answer questions. He said that
before he opened the hearing to the audience, there was a letter with an
accompanying resolution from Independent School District #14 which he asked
Councilman Liebl to read aloud.
Counciltnan Breider asked the County Engineer if there were any plans for the
section north of Rice Creek. Mr. Lundheim said that there were no studies
except the general T.O.P.I.C.S. study. It was felt that the lower portion was
the most urgently needed. Councilman Breider asked if there were any plans by
the County to look at this in the near future. Mr. Lundheim said yes, but there
was no definite time. Councilman Breider asked how much acreage will be needed
fran the school. The City Engineer said about 3/4 of an acre. Councilman
Breider asked about the present opening for the school. The City Engineer said
that there would be a divider, so only right turns would be allowed.
Councilman Liebl said that this particular area is in the Third Ward. In the
past 5 year� there has been additional traffi.c loads on East River Road because
of the new industry, LaMaur Inc. There is also Downing Box in this area. Then
there is the school which creates problems. He sai.d that he would urge
residents to realize the problems with working with the County to cane up with
a project that they can live with. Everyone knows that so�nething must be done
with East River Road, and he realized that they would like to keep their
residential type neighborhood. He said that he received many calls from
people on the west side of East River Road saying that they are not able to make
left hand turns. Channeling the traffic to the siqnalized intersections would
eliminate the left hand turns except at the signals. He said that there would
be no more residential traffic on the side roads than there is now, but there
would be access only at certain intersections. In order to get traffic out,
there would have to be sacue right of way taken to channel the internal traffic.
There is a 144 unit apartment complex on East River Road and Mississippi Street
wi?ich creates a heavy load. The question arises of where are the signals
needed most; at the school, at G�orgetown or in another place. Z"he semaphores
should be located where they do the most good. If right of way is acquired
on the east side of East River Road, it will be costly. This is a County,
Fedexal and City project. The County will put in a request for Federa� money.
�

�
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF OCTOBER 13, 1970 PAGE 3
He said that every time somebody gets hurt on East River Road, he feels that he
did not do his part. He said that he felt that they should maintain the
residential neighborhood and not put any additional load of traffic on these
streets. He said that he would urge an affirmative reaction by the audience.
Councilman Sheridan asked if the 1975 projections on the traffic count were
�I' made by the Highway Department, and the City Engineer answered ye�. Councilman
Sheridan said that an increase of froan 19,000 to 27,000 in a five year period
would mean an increase of about 40�. This is the major reason for trying to
� upgrade the street, to take care of the traffic needs.� The traffic would
increase whether it was upgraded or not.
�
�
S
Councilman Sheridan said that his feeling was that East River Road very
definitely needed upgrading. The City must anticipate needs for the future.
He said that he thought that the service roads should be included in the
application the County will be making for Federal funds, as the side streets
are an integral part of the total project. This would then lessen the burden
on the adjacent property owners.
Mayor Sheridan Pro tem then opened the Public Hearing to the audience.
Mr. Maurice Filister, of the Georgetown apartment complex, said that he would
� be the first to say that East R.iver Road needs some upgrading as it is not safe
for the amount of traffic it carries, however, he said that he failed to see the
feasibility of the study. He agreed with Councilman Liebl that the traffic
should not be brought throuqh a,residential neighborhood. This is what has
� been done just north of the Georgetown apartments. The road loops around and
goes through the multiple dwellings and on past the school. He said that he had
252 units with another 210 proposed. Across the road is LaMaur with approximately
� 300 employees coming out at this intersection. There is also Downing Box to
consider. This is putting approximately $00 cars through a residential area and
past the school. He felt that this would not make a safe situation. Cotuiciltnan
� Sheridan said that from his complex the people going north would have to go u�
to the signal.
�
�
,�
�
Mr. Larry Gardner, of Bather and Associates, said that the safety aspect is the
most imp+o�tant. There is more than just the safety problem, also to be considered
is the volume that will occur. The Federal government considers both safety and
capacity. It was felt that there must be a si�gnal at the north intersectio�.
If a signal was installed at Georgetown, the capacity of the road would be
impaired. This has to do with the speed of the cars on the road. There has to
be a certain distance between the signals, or even 30 MPH speed limit could not
be main�ained. If the signals are spread, there can be maintained a speed of
about 40 MPH. This creates a safer stop. Mr. Filister asked if they were �aore
concerned about safety or capacity. They should be more concerned abaut safety.
He said that he was concerned about the safety aspect of bringinq all those caxs
through a residential neighborhood and past the school. Mr. Gardner said that
90 MPH v�ras not excessive for this roadway. He felt that a 30 MPH speod limit would
be undulg xestrictive. He felt that there could be both safety and capacitg.
He thought that Mr. Filister's estimate of 800 cars was probably light. East.
River Road carries its load at peak periods in the marning and evening, as
ppposed ta T.H. #47 and T.H. #65 which has a steadier flaw. Mr. Filister said
that there were many children in the apartznents where the service road w�auld be
,ar�d a�k�d if Ms, Gar4iner felt that they could take the cars out safelp, and Mr.
Gardnex replied yes. - •
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEA�IN6 1�ETING OF OC�OBER 13, 1970 PAGE 4
Mr. Gerald Kanter, 6220 East River Road, asked how wide and how high the median
would be. Mr. Lundheim said that it would be 4' wide and 6" high. Mr. Kanter
then asked if the buses would stop in the same place. Mr. Gardner said that
there would be provided a shoulder to stop on. This would be an addition to
what is there now. Mr. Kanter asked if there would be land taken. Mr. Gardner
said about 5' from each side. When the road gets into the industrial area there
would be a shift in the alignment of the roadway.
Mrs. W. Hoagberg, 6210 East River Road, said that she rode the bus every day
and was concerned about the bus stops. Councilman Sheridan said that the bus
stops would be in the same general area as they are now.
The City Engineer showed a cross section of the roadway on the screen and said
that the shoulder would serve a number of purposes. The Police Departsnent could
then pull a speeder off onto the shoulder and enforcement of the speed limit
would be stricter. There would also be a safe turning lane off the highway.
He said that it could be compared to University Avenue.
Mr. Stanley Mirocha of Downing Box, said that they have about 150 employees and
are a part of the business cammunity. A large portion of their employees live
in Fridley and he is concerned about the City of Fridley and its citizens. He
said that he would prefer the access t6 be somewhere south of them because when
they acquire the right of way, it woulci put the road too close to their f�ont
door. They would have a problem with the truck and trailer traffic and the
traffic caning out of the parking lots. He suggested taking the traffic to
the east, out the back somewhere. He said that he was fully in accord with the
need for action being taken on East River Road. He said that he has seen
accidents in front of his business.
Mr. Richard Brown, 6103 East River Road, said that he was a land owner next to
East River Road and it seemed that he would be losing some of his land and
being assessed besides. Mr. Lundheim said that he would be reimbursed.
The City Engineer said that this is a combination project with the City, County
and the Federal government. There will be a request made for Federal monies.
The rest will have to be shared by the County and the City. There would have to
be raised a certain portion through assessments. Mr. Brown asked what his
assessment would be. The City Engineer said that it would be impossible to
give everyone their e9timated assessment figure and suggested that they call
City Hall for the figures.
Mayor Sheridan Pro tem explained that all statements made would be based on
estimates on the project. It is not final and there would be no definite
figure until the �roject is completed and all the Federal money and the County
money is subtracted and the balance brought forth for the City to place on
an assessment basis.
The Acting City Manager said that there were several types of assessments.
There are side street assessments and there is an assessment for the actual cost
of the street. There is an assessment for curbing on East River Road and the
serviee roads would be charged the normal street cost. These are high as in
spme ca�es there is only one side of the street to place the assessment on.
There is some sidewalk cost.in the northerly portion. For the area at 61st and
East River Road the estimated assessment is 511.40 per foot for curbing.

Mr. Chandler said that he has 240 feet of frontage on the southwest corner of
Mississippi Way and East River Road. He has attempted to develop it in the last
10 years. It seems that this plan is going to take a large piece af his land.
He said that he understood the problems, but he has paid $25,000 in taxes on
this property with no income. Any intrusion on his land would destroy the value.
Mr. Lewis Doyle, 25 63rd Way N.E., came forward with a signed petition to
present to the Council.
PETITION NO. 16-1970 - THAT IMPROVEMENTS ARE NOT NEEDED AT THIS TIME AND
FURTHERMORE TF ANOKA COUNTY PUTS A MEDIAN ON EAST RIVER ROAD, THE COUNTY
SHOULD PAY_FOR THE ASHTON AVENUE EXTENSION BETWEEN 61ST WAY AND 64TH WAY:
MOTION �y Councilman Liebl to receive Petition No. 16-1970. Seconded by
Council�nan Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Sheridan Pro tem
declared the motion carried.
Councilman Liebl asked if they were not opposed to the i.mprovement of East
� River Road, just the improvement of the residential roads and Mr. Doyle saici
that was correct. Councilman Liebl said that their feeling was that it is part
of the project cost and should not be assessed 1000.
A lady in the audience said that she lived on 67th and East River Road and the
improvement does not reach her yet, but her main concern was why invite more
traffic into the area. She said her house is on East River Road and in the
winter it is about impossible to walk next door because of the snow. If more
footage is taken, her house would be very close to the highway. She felt that
the City should be more concerned with the people. She asked why not downgrade
and reduce the speed. This is in the nature of a:residential r�ad with homes on
both sides. She asked why they should have to give land and endure the traffic
and noise. Why should they give up any tranquility for faster through traffic.
She asked that the plan take into consideration the people.
Councilmas� Sheridan said that East River Road is a County State Aid road. T'he
City does not have the control as it does with the residential streets. There
would still be two l�nes each way as it is now, but with the addition of an
area for an emergency stop. He said that he felt strongly that the service
roads should be Fart of the overall project and the costs should be included in
the cost of the total groject. That is not to say there would not be any
assessment, but not the full cost.
The City Engineer said in answer to the lady that he indicated that thi� is a
vomauaity stxeet rather than a through street. This community street carries
3/4 of its own City tralfic and only �i through traffic. Their plans are not to
wi.den the street with more lanes, just adding shoulders or turning lanes sp the
tra�fic can get on and off safely. Whether there is any improvement pr not, the
traffie would:still be there. As the population rises,.so does the traffic.
He said that the commEnt was made, why not put more of the cars onto T.H. #47
and T.H. #65. In five years the traffic is going to increase more than what �s
anticipated for East River Road. It is not only the East River Road traffic
that is going to increas�, but East River Road is going'to be the m9st criti�al.
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF OCTOBER 13, 1970 PAGE 6
Mr. George Daniels said that he understood that there would not be any service
roads put in on the west side like there is to be on the east side. Mr. Gardner
said that the service roads are on the east side, and there is anticipated the
improvement of Mississippi Street and East River Road intersection. The gas
station would have to go. Mr. Daniels felt that they were defeating their
purpose by permitting access onto East River Road except at signals. He said
that he was in favor of improving East River Road but do so eliminating the
right hand turns off to eliminate rear end collisions. Mr. Gardner said that
the road would be wider with a turning lane. Mr. Daniels felt that all turns
should be eliminated.
Mr. Gordon Sangster, 6179 Riverview Terrace, a member of the Board of Education,
asked if the internal streets could be made a part of the project as Councilman
Sheridan suggests. The City Engineer said that when the Assessment Department
worked on the project, he rec�amended that people in this area should be treated
on the same basis as in other parts of the City on a regular assessment basis.
The rest would be borne by Federal, County and City general funds. The object
is to treat everybody on the same basis. If a street is put in as a regular
improvement, there should be an assessment, if a street is put in to implement
this project, part of the cost could be borne by other funds rather than by
a general assessment. Mr. Sangster asked if Federal money could go toward
this. Mr. Gardner said that he did not know.
Mr. Sangster said that his major consideration is the safety of the school
children going to and from school. He said that he was extremely concerned
about the traffic along the south side of the school. '�he south•end of the
school is primarily used as a play area. He felt that this plan comes too
close to the building and puts to much traffic pressure on the school. There
should be more concern as to the safety rather than capacity. He questioned
what the total impact would be on the north end of the portion to be improved,
as this is where Riverwood School is located. The School Board is responsible
for the safety of the children.
Mr. Brown said that since Coon Rapids has been working on the road, there has
been a great reduction in the traffic, so he did not feel that the traffic was
all Fridley generated.
A gentleman in the audience said that in five years the City will be coming
back and asking for a four lane road each way. East River Road has been a
killer for years. He felt that there should be another study. In five years
the road will not be able to handle the traffic. What is needed is a new super
highway, especially if there is a northern airport. He felt that the speed
should be cut down to 35 MPH. The residents get all the dust in the summer and
snow in the winter and still the traffic problems are not solved.
The City Engineer said that the City is concerned with the amount of traffic and
they have been working with the Highway Department in cooperation with other
caa�nunities for another highway and providing a bridge across the Mississippi
River. Fridley is pushing for another br��.
Mr. Harry Crowder, 146 63rd Way N.E., said that he was president of the
Stevenson PTA and he could not consider a road to the �outh of the school.
He said that as a home owner, he would still have the same number of cars, but
wil7, be forced to follow another street to get home. He would ha�ve to travel
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF OCTOBER 13, 1970 PAGE 7
two streets rather than one to get home. He felt that•it was inconceivable
that East River Road be updated without sidewalks or a bike path. His children
cannot get to school without walking in someone elses y,ard. He thought that the
idea was about one half done. He would like an engineering £�irm ma�ce a st+sdy
that would benefit the people in the area. He said that they are the ones that
will have to pay for it and live with it.
Mr. Richard Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace said that in many previous meetings
there has been talk about the situation with Dvwning Box, LaMaur and the
Georgetown apartments. The City of Fridley has in some respect� been negligent.
When speaking of safety, the School Board, County Engineer and the City Eng�.r�ee�'
should solve the problem of the school buses along East River Road, as it i3
very unsafe. He hoped that they would get together and solve the problepns.
He asked how much the total project would cost. He was told $939,161. He asked
if the project proceeds, how do we get the funds. Z'he Acting City Manager said
that the County would be letting the contract for the project. There aould have
to be an agreement between the City and the County and between the County and
the Federal Bureau of Public R�ads. Mr. Harris said that somewhere along the
line tY�e contractor would have to be paid. Does the City get the Federal money
before the project, or after? How is the interim financing arranged? Mr.
Lundheim said that the County does this every year. It is paid by the
Commissioner of Highways. Mr. Harris said that the County and the City would have
to carry about $500,000. He asked how much that would be at 7�. The Acting
City Manager said that Fridley would be paying their share to the County and
the County would be paying the total dollar amount. Mr. Lundheim said that the
County will let the �ontract, then fr�n there, the Commissioner. of Highways
executes the contract. Councilman Sheridan said that it would work as witfh
other proj�cts; �s a portion of work is completed, there is a payment made pn
that canpleted portion. He added that at 7� the carrying charge would be
$70,000.
Cauncilman Liebl asked Mr. Lundheim how much would the Federal government pay
and how much would the County and City pay. Mr. Lundheim said that he could
not answer, but'he based his premise on 50� paid by the Federal gwe�nent.
He could not say how much would be the County share and the City share.
Mr, J.A. �vans, 176 East 5th Street, St. Paul, o€ the Burlington Northern
Railroad, said that they did not oppose the project, aT►d that they 7recoqni�a the
need, and the increased traffic must be coped with. He felt that theae should
be more serious study on ttie most accurate loeation for the liqhts and h�v tha
sexvice roads will affect the industrial property.
A Iady in the audience asked wt�o makes the final d�ision. Mayor Sheridar► Pro
tem said that if the Coun�y does not receive the agreement of the City, the
project would not go in, so it rests in the hands of the Council. Should the
Council elect to proceed with the project and then not receive the support c�f
the Federal government, theii the project would not go in.
Mr. Filister said that in his opinion there should be more consideration given
to safetX rather than s�eed. If the speed limit was cut to 20 MPH it would
divert much of the traff�.c. He asked how the Council felt about this �roposa].
as given. Cauncilman Breider said that this was the best he has seen. This
heaxing is for the purpose of hearing what the people think. As far as he wae
cqncerned, he felt that it was a good plan, but he will look at it �gain after
��ceiving the canments of the people. �ouncilman Liebl said that he was fully
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF OCTOBER 13, 1970 PAGE 8
aware that son►ething must be done, but it will cost money. It.is very easy
for the people to say what should not be done. He must protect the poeketbook
and still effect the safety that is so important. There is money from other
agencies, so the City has to cooperate with the County and the Federal Govern-
ment. The Council must do something about the traffic proHlems of LaMaur,
Downing Box and the Georgetown co�nplex. They need signalization somehow. The
hearing is to find out the wishes of the people. He said that ha would like to
see provided street access, safety and capacity with 50$ paid by the Federal
governmerjt with County participation in the other 50$. He said that he has
an obligation to the people and also the School Board. If ev�rything was done
the way it has been suggested the.p�o�ject would be over two million dollars.
The Council has to be �rugal, yet responsible to the best interest of the
people, to the best of their ability.
Mr. Stanley Mirocha said that no one disputes that they will do to the best of
their ability. He pointed out that it is not known where the money is cominq
from. He gaid that Dawning Box is not opposed, as they realize so�nething has
to be done, but he wanted to go on record as opposed to the project as outlined
tonight. There is definitely additional work and study to be done..
Mr. Filister said that in his opinion you could accomplish safety and speed
reduction for a fraction of one million dollars. He felt that there was no
reason for the serviee roads. There would have to be put in about 7S' of road to
take the traffic along the north end of his property. In�tead, is proposed a
road 2� blocks long on the east side of his property.
Mr. George Daniels asked what happened to the 61st Avenue cross tawn road.
Maypr Sheridan Pro tem answered that they were denied by the Public Seryice
Coiani s s ion .
A resident of the area said that signals were needed at Georgetown. If she
traveled at 40 MPH, she would qet hit from the rear. Mayor Sheridan Pro tem
explained that the Bureau of Roads sets out a system of signals and there is a
certain distance needed between the lights for continuity of signalization.
A lady in the audience asked if the signal at Stevenson could not be made to
wprk all the time, rather than just when a person wants to cross. The City
Engineer sa�d that the light was just put up to help the pedestrians cross at
that location. It is not a total system and a very simple form. Councilman
3heridan cammented that a total semaphore was not allawed, and it does not
o�erate on a cycle because it is not an intersection.
Mr, arown asked how fast a car would have to travel to make the signals. Mr.
Gardner satci 40 MPH, and added that the signal at Mississippi is a randan
signal and is not synchronized.
Mr. Floyd Bexger asked how many years it would be before East River Rp,ad reache�
its new density. Mr. Gardner said that the traffic volumes are projected to
the year 1975. This is based upon the eompletion of I. 94. Tl�ere is a s��'etc'h
of ],and between the river and the road that is not fully developed and when it
is, it wi11 a�so add to the count. These projection f�gures were worked put by
the Highway Aepartment. Mr. Berqer asked if the project a� proposed will take
care of the projected number of 27,000 cars. Mr. Gardner said yes. Mr. Berger
said th�t the traffic volumes could exceed 27,000, then there would be a need
for more improvement. He asked what the cost for the development of this study was.
Mx. %undheim said about $4,000.
� SFECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF OCTOBER 13, 1970 PAGE 9

A resident of the �,rea questioned whether the 6" higY� median would not be a
tra�fic l�azard. He i�elt that if a wheel should stri.ke it, it would pull the
� ca�r itlto the oncoming line of traffic. On Highway #100 �.t is 3� feet high as
they fpund �,hat the low median did not work. Mr. Gardner said that Highway �100
is a high speed expxessway. It is a Federal trunk highway and has strict
� safety factors. East River Road will not be a road of this nature, but aaoxe qf
a local arterial road.
� Councilman Liebl said that the Council adopted this overall concept, recoq-
nizing that East River Road is a problem area. Everyone is in agreement that
something has to be done. He felt that this plan was the best that he has seen.
He asked if the people felt that there should be further study. He said that he
� must commend the County Engineer for accomplishing a study that would take c8re
of sane of the problems. The i.mprovement in the first stage is a matter of
economics. He asked who was in favor of the improvement of East River Road.
� There could be more studies to come up with an agreeable solution. He said
that the Council tries to do the best they can.
� Mr. Filister said that he did not believe there is anyone opposed to doing
soanething with East River Road, but no one is in agreement with the present
plan as laid out. A member of the audience said that he agreed with Councilman
Liebl and felt that there is more study needed. He agreed that something had
� to be done, but he did not feel that putting a road through a school axea is
.the answer.

A member of the audience said that he lives at 6725 East River Road, and he is
concerned about the children walking along East River Road without sidewalks,
He did not $eel that there should be a speed limit of 50 - 60 MPH when East
River Road capaci�y is increased.
Mayor Sheridan Pro tem asked the audience if it was generally felt that the
project should proceed, but that there should be further study as Councilman
Liebl indicated. The audience as a wh91e answered yes.

BUDGET.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked the Commission if they had reviewed the revised proposed
budget which reflected the changes that the Commission itself had made. All
members present stated that they had reviewed iX and felt it was ready to b�
presented to the Council. They all felt that the changes which had been made
were correct.
LAWCON.
Mr. Blair made reference to the LAWCON (Land and Water Conservation Funds) Funds
� which were available. He asked if you had to have some specific development and
plans in order to obtain the funds? Mr. Novitsky asked if you co�ld change
the plans after you had obtained the funds? Mr. Fitzpatrick said that thexe axe
certain qualifications and patterns which must be followed, but that it was also
� flexible, as long as it maintained eertain standards. Mr. Olson asked if we had
ever approached the County in regard to financing some of our projects and Mr.
Fitzpatrick said that he didn't think we had. Mr. Fitzpatrick said that the
1 original plan for the North Park axea, as far as finances were concerned, was
to get half of the amount from Federal Aid and the other half from the State.
�
�
�
Mx. Olson suggested that we approach the County to see what funds were available
at this'time, to aid in the project.
KINDS.OF TREES FOR FRIDLEY.
Mr. Novitsky asked if there �ad been any progress in the request from the Planning
Commission for a list of trees which would best grow in Fridley soil. Mr, Volkman,
Park Foreman, stated that they had been working on the project and, hopefully,
it would be completed soon.

KINDS OF TREES FOR FRIDLEY (continued).
Mx. Fitzpatrick stated that there was a forty foot planting strip behind a
1 Commercial area on Highway #65, which has caugtit much debris and the City
Planning Commission would like to plant trees and shrubs there and develop the
area into a scenic spot.
Mr. Novitsky indicated that he had had numerous calls in regard to boulevards
and trees in Fridley and he would appreciate the list as soon as possible.
PARK GARAGE.
The Commission asked Mr. Volkman if there were any new developments as far as
a new Park Garage was concerned. Mr. Volkman said that the most recent
proposal was to build a 50' X 80' structure in the southeast corner of the lot
which presently houses the City Garage. The proposed Budget for 1971 calls
for $21,000.00 for the construction of a new Park Garage and the present plan
is for a baked-on steel structure.
BUDGET - PERSONAL SERVICES.
Mr. Olson asked for an explanation for the need of two (2) additional full time
maintenance men. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that we need more men to compensate
for the increased development. Mr. Olson asked if we had acquired more land
or if the reasoning was elsewhere. Mr. Volkman said that we hadn't acquired
much additional land, but that the addition of more recreational activities (he
referred to the new Soccer Program which was started this fall) and the fact
that they were developing the present parks in finer detail were the reasons
behind the need for more men.
Mr. Novitsky suggested that the City Hall area be taken out of the hands of the
Park Department and all agreed that it would be a good idea.
SALE OF PARK PROPERTY.
Mr. Blair suggested that the property between 75th and 76th, near Flanery, and
the area behind the watertower in Innsbruck, be placed on tt�e market for sale.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked if research on the backround of these two areas could be
done and the items placed on the adjenda for the October 26 meeting. A third
tract of land was also requested to be placed on the adjenda; that being the
area just north of Chases Island. The Commission requested as much backxound
as passible.
CHERI LANE PROPERTY.
Mr. Novitsky asked about the park property at the North end of Cheri Lane, The
tract is believed to include a por.tion of a bank and a strip of land, approxxmately
six feet wide which runs along the edge of private peoperty. The homeownex has
ask�d if he could move his fence out and include this six foot piece of land
�nside his yard. He does not seem to want to purchase the land, but he would be
wi,lling to maintain it if it were inside his fence. Mr. Novitsky asked iP the
defin�te description of the land could be made in detail before such a decision
was made, The Commission will delay any further action, pending the results of
the study.

MEADOWLANDS PARK.
Mr. Volkman showed the Commission three maps of the proposed development at
Meadowlands Park. He gave a brief description of where the drainage system
would be located and said that it would involve some fill in the low areas.
He also showed the proposed locations of the ball diamonds, football field, and
the present location of the apparatus area.
PARK MAINTENANCE CLINIC.
Mr, Volkman gave a brief rundown of the Park Maintenance Clinic held in
Chicago, Illinois on September 14, 15, and 16, which he attended on behalf of
the Department.

Chaimian Minish reported to the Board the action taken by the Council on the
items from the September 15 and September 29, 1970 meetings.
1. A REQUEST FOR VARIANCES OF SECTION 45.134. 4A, FRIDLEY CITY CODE TO REDUCE THE
FRONT YARD SETBACK REQUIREr�TT FROM 35 FEET TO 30 FEET SECTION 45 134, 4C,
FRIDLEY CITY CODE. TO REDUCE THE REAR YARD SETBACK REQUIRII�NT FR�i 25 FEET TO
20 FEET, AND SECTION 45.135, lE, SUBPARAGRAPH 1, TO WAIVE THE NO PARKING IN THE
r�ltc�t �u r���l ur' THr:_FK�NT YARD SETBAiCK, TO ALLOW THE CONSTBUCTION OF A RENTAL
BUILDING ON THE WEST_115 FEET OF LOT 11, AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION N0. 89, Ti� SAME
BEING 7091 HIGHWAY N0. 65 N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA (REQUEST BY D. W HAR.STAD
COMPANY. INC., 7101 HIGHWAY N0. 65 N.E., FRID�LEY, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Don Harstad and Mr. Dick Johnson were present to present the request.
Mr. Harstad explained their present office is located on Lot 4�nd at the
time they bought Lot 4 they had to buy Lot 11 in order to get out to the
highway. Lot 11 was a narrow lot originally and with the land asked for by
the City for the service road and easements it was cut down considerably. He
said it was getting to the point where they will have to get sane income from
the property as the money paid out in assessments for the water main, sewer
lateral, water lateral, storm sewer and taxes has been quite high. There is
also a pending street assessment and a pending sewer connection charge that
will have to be paid.
Photos of the lot and a survey showing the proposed building and parking area
were shown to the Board.
Mr. Johnson stated the two existing permanent buildings, D. W. Harstad Company
and Minnesota Door Company, were originally set back 60 feet but naw with the
lar►d being dedicated for the service road they are only set back 30 feet and
the propoaed building will be in line with them. Because of the shape of the
lot, the building will have to be a long narrow type of building. The propoaed
�
�
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of October 13, 1970 Pa�e 2 �
building is 25 feet by 100 feet and will have 10 parking spaces which is the
minimum parking requirement. He stated the building will poseibly be rented
out as dental offices or a chiropractic clinic. The type of business will
be limited to a type that will not generate a large amount of traffic. Mr.
Johnson said they would like the parking in the front of the building as the
lower level in back does not lend itself to parking because of the steep
incline. The two adjacent buildings have the same type of parking at the
front of the lots. Mr. Johnson added further that there should be no problem
with the backyard variance as the the back of the lot abuts Rice Creek.
MOTION by Ah�nen to close the public hearing.
Seconded by 0'Bannon. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION by 0'Bannon to reco�end to therGity Council approval of the variances
for the following reasons:
1. The hardships are the amount of land that had to be dedicated to the City
for the service road that considerably restricts the size of any building
that is built on this lot and also the number and amount of assessments
that have been placed on this property making it necessary to build a
building that will bring in some income.
2. There is no other way to build on this lot than what is proposed because
of the easements.
3. The proposed building conforms to the other buildings on the service road.
4. Locating the parking to the rear of the building would not be practical
because of the steep incline.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
unanimously.
2. A_REQUEST FOR VARIANCES OF SECTION 45.053, 4B, SUBPARAGRAPH 3, FRIDLEY CITY CODE,

RE: Public Improvement Hearing for the balance of storm sewer
construction in the City of Fridley.
Gentlemen:
At a recent Council Meeting, Councilman Harris asked me to research
the question as to the legality of holding one public hearing on
the entire balance of the storm sewers left to be constructed
within the City and then doing the work over an extended p�riod,
perhaps as much as ten years.
His thought was that the public hearings on storm sewers are always
"painful" and it certainly would save a lot of time of the Council
and tempers of the citizens to get it over with at one time.
In looking into the matter I believe the idea has merit and is
workable.
Sanetime ago Fridley did hold one public hearing for a large portion
of its sanitary sewers without problem.
I have checked the applicable Minnesota Statute, being M.S.A. 429 and have
conferred with Charles Howard, the City's Bond Attorney, as to the
feasibility of holding but one hearing. It is n�y opinion and fiis
that this would be perfectly legal and proper procedure.
The engineers for the City would have to prepare a preliminary storm
sewer design for the rest of the storm sewer work remaining to be done
and arrive at an estimated cost of the work.
4n� large public hearing could be Aeld and it could be at a plaCe
other than City Hall, by proper notice, such as an auditorium of a
school, etc.
After the completion of the public hearing it is necessary that the
Council, within six months after the date of the hearing, adopt a
resolution ordering the improvement, such resolution must be adopted
�y 4/5 of the Council.
The work could then be done on some type of gradual schedule and
contr�cts let without any further p�blic hearings being necessary.
After the contracts for the improvement have been entered into th��
the City must prepare its "assessment rolls" and there will be the
requirement, as in all improvements, c^ a hearing on the proposed
assessment.
The statutes do not provide for any time limit during which the
work must be done after the first public hearing and I would be of
the opinion that a ten year program would be sustained by the
courts.
The only problem that could arise for the City is that if the
estimated cost is so completely wrong at the time the contract is
let, a court may hold that at the time the original notice of the
public hearing was sent out with the estimated amount, it was not a
vaiid notice.
The Engineer should be able to estimate the cost high enough in the
initial hearing to handle this probiem and it would be my opinion
that if the cost had doubled from the time the notice of hearing
were sent out and th� time the contract were let then the initial
hearing would be invalid and a new hearing would have to be held
but on anything less than a doubling of the cost I believe the court
would sustain the hearing as being a proper one.
I hope the above answers Councilman Harris's question and I will
be glad to do further research if further questions arise on this
proposal .
Respectfully submitted,
Ca�
Leonard T. Juster
City Attorney

IMPROVEMENT HEARING, BALANCE OF SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
0
Mr. ,luster in his letter of October 5, 1970, stated there
is a possibility of the City holding one storm sewer hearing
for those areas of the City that have not been fully assessed
for storm sewer.
, We also have the same problem with sanitary sewers. There
are two small areas of the City that do not have the full sani-
tary sewer main assessment and the possibility of holding one
� hearing for the balance of the unassessed a�ea for sanitary
sewer has also been discussed previously.
�
'
'
�
'
The Council has actually ordered a public hearing on this
matter, but as of this time, the hearing has not been held; but,
I would imagine that if it is possible to do it for the storm
sewer, the City could also do it for the sanitary sewer.
The sanitary sewer would not involve near the area that
would be involved in the stonn sewer assessment. Most of the
area involved in the sanitary sewer is industrial property.
