this area into the system to the north. He then showed a shaded map of the

there would be problems before Stage Two is campleted. The City Engineer said
that this would depend on the amount of rain. The ground has to be thawed
before the work can be done. He pointed out that the third stage is the
a�st costly. Cauncilman Sherid� SBid that the t�ird stage would have to be
canpleted before the east sida�of Central aiong Rice Creek R�oad can be
developed. The City Enqineer said that there were two ways of handlinq the
third stage.of the project; either be force main and lift stations or qravity.

is bigger than what the zoning ordinance requires. The 150' lot� w�ould better

conformation with the adjacent lots. He said that he was.sure that there
would be no objection from Mr, Nelson, if the plat is approved.

walls. On the down stream side the sides are eaten away. On the up stream
side there are cracks in the wing walls. He propo�ed a three ste a

projector to present the plans for the camplete rejuvenation. The dam has a
present capacity of about 250 C.F.S. as it is being used. The capacity under
University Avenue to about 1200 C.F.S. The flow wi3.l be constantly increasinq,
even now there is a danger of flash floods. The people should be made aware
that there must be a solution to the problem. In synopsis, he said that first
there must be inanediate temporary repair. Secondly there should be some work
done toward maintenance and reju�enation of the structure, and thirdly, the
capacity should be expanded to take care of the future flow estimates. The
rejuvenation work necessary would cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 to fill in
the cracks and repair the damage so that it does not deteriorate further. To
increase the capacity of the dam under the firat proposal, the cost w�ould be in
the neighborhood of about $55,000 to go into the lake and provide additional.
capacity. The second proposal would be about $15,000 to open the side of the
dam and provide additional overflow crest areas. There has to be good control
over ithe dam so the water does not run over the dam.
Councilman Breider asked how the control would be, by gates? The City Enqineer
said that there would be a gate at the bottom of the dam that could be opened
or closed. This would control the flow and allow the sediment to be washed out.
Councilman Breider asked if there was any Federal funding available. T'he City
Engineer said that it is possible, there would be a lot of paper work,involved.
He said that he would explore the possi.bility of getting State and Federal
funding.
Councilmari Breider asked if there was a projected date for the dam improvement
project. The City Engineer said that this would depend on the Rice Creek
Watershed formation. The areas to the east will be developed as time goes by.
He said that the dam should be carefully operated and the gates should be
watched more closely to eliminate the possibility of washing out.

Councilman Harris asked what size the units were. Mr. Hoffineyer said they w�ould
be 1563 squ�xe feet. °
Councilman Liebl asked how much was the investment per unit. Mr. A7ovak said
about $20,000 per unit. The rent would be about $275 and each uuit would be
co�pletely self contained. Councilman Liebl asked Idr. Richard Hmxris (BUildinq
Board) why garages wsre not requested. This wouZd be a heavily popula�ted area
and would be a burden on the roads. Mr. Richard Harri� said that they only
requested approval.of the concept. This was needed foa financing purposes,.
Qraqes were not mentioned. He ad,ded that the City Engineer waa at the ideetinq
and he specifically asked him if there.wouid be any pxabiem with the traffic and

financing. He said that he was not sure whether garages wvuld be feasible at
this point. Counci]man Liebl asked if ,they cGmply with the B.H.A. criteria or
are they higher. Mr. Hoffineyer said that thQy have more qreen area t.han is
required, aud the ingress has been made wider. ii�e pointed out that they were
only askinq for concept approval. Councilman Harris feit that the access road
should be wider than 26 feet. There is no place to turn around without backinq
up.
Mr. Hoffineyer said that the first floor and the u�stairs would be finished but
' he was not sure if they would iinish the lower.area. This could be made into
a den, extra bedroom etc. He said that.the livinq ro�m would be 12' X 17' and
the main bedroom would be 12' X 17'. There would be a 9�' X 10' eatinq area and
an 8 square foot kitchen. Couneilman Harris said that they would have to have
� stairs both up and down within the unit. Mr. Hoffineyer said that there would
be 440 square feet on the first floor without the stairs. He pointed out that in
� a rambler type haae there has to be a corridor. They just have a staizway
rather than a corridor. Councilman Harxis asked if the 18' X 27' were outside
' � measurements. Mr. Hoffineyer said that they were inside measurements.
Mr. Novak said that if they can finish the basements they will, but he was not
sure at this point. He said that.they.wanted to d,o.this project right.

Something should be done to correct the problem. He was looking for something
that the Police Department can control. Councilman Harris said that if the
driver is under 14 there is now control. Councilman Liebl said that there
may be something done in the next Legislative session. Mr• Holm said that there
was a long winter ahead �ith a lot of problems unless there is sane control.

OUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 1970
� .
Coun �ilman Sheridan asked how many were eligi.ble. The Acting City !lanaqer
� said •that all the patrolmen had a chance to take the test. This man
(Ronald Allard) had the best overall qualities in regard to leadership and
has worked for the departlnent quite a few years longer. Councilman Liebl
, asked if they did not score about ]A points apart, and the Acting City
Manager said yes, they did.
PAGE 21
Councilman Harris said that the top three were passed on to the Police
� Chief for his recoarm�endation, then to the City Manager, then the City
Manager recoamnends the appointment. It is done in this way to take any
connotation of politics out of the Police Department. He said that he
� would concur with the recommendation. They are not graded just on the test,
just l�ecause a man got a good grade on the test does not necessarily mean that
he would be a good administrator. Councilman Breider asked what other
� criteria is used in grading for a promot�,on. The Ac�ting City Manaqer said
ti�at Mr. Allard was picked because it was felt that he was the best suited.
Councilaian Harris c�nented that a younger man may have other chances at a
promotion, but the older man may not. The Acting City Manaqer said this was
� true, but it was not the reason for Allard's selection. The qualifications
of the finalists were very even and made the selection difficult. One man
had certain qualities and another man had other qualities. Mr. Allard has
� been an investigatpr on the force for many years. He has ha.ndled himself
very well and has many different talents. It was not a clear cut decision,
but took careful weighing.
Mayor Kirkham said that a sergeant's job requires leadership qualities. This
should be the decision of the Chiet, then passed on to the Acting City
Manager. If the Council does not think the Administration can hire adequately,
they should get an outside evaluation. Councilman Harris said that the Council
cannot become involved in the appointment, other than final approval.
Council.man Liebl called upon Mr. Robert Kelshaw, a member of the audience and
Councilman Elect, for any comments. Mr. Kelshaw said that the City Engineer
gets paid his salary for coming in with recommendations. He puts his neck
on the line every time he does. The Police Chief and Acting City Manager
do the same as their function. They live with this man every day and are in
a position to know, and are equipped to make a judgment. Why does it come
before the Council? Councilman Harris �aid tha.t.it is stipulated in the
Charter. Mr. Kelshaw said that he would have to go along with the recomiaendation
of the Administration. They have lived with the man. Councilman Liebl asked
what if the man getting the higher score, but not the job were to take it to
the union. Mr. Kelshaw said that evidently that man scored high on the test
but it was felt he did not have the same leadership qualities.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to concur with the recam�nendation of the Admin-
istration and appoint Ronald Allard Police Sergeant effective January 1, 1971.
Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, Harris, Breider, Sheridan,
and Kirkham voting aye, Liebl voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
carried,

In reference to the d�rection of the Council at the December 7th
Meeting I have reviewed the material in that Ayenda and our present
Ordinance, being 88.11.
The memo of the Chief of Police and the discussior� that took place
at the Meeting of December 1, 1969, as contained on pages 77 and 78
of the Agenda of December 7, all correctly outlined the limitation
by the City in regulating snowmobiles.
I am sumnarizing herein the restrictions on a municipality in regulating
snowmobiles:
A. No dri<�er's license is required in orde� to �perate a snowmobile.
See Section 1?1.0�.
B. Snowmobiles are exempt from the normal vehicle license fee. Section
168.012.
�r
The State of Minnesota, in Chapter 84 of the Minnesota Statutes, passed an
' extensive statute relating to the operation and registration of snomobiles.
This statute, which relates to the powers of the Department of Natural Resources
as opposed to the Department of Highways, provides essentially as follows:
'
�_ J
�
'
r
1. Any snowmobile operated in the State of Minnesota must be registered
and a registration fee paid.
2. No political subdivision of the State can require licensing or
registration of snowmobiles.
3. The essence of the statute giving power to the Department of Natural
Resources is based upon the regulation of snov�nnobiles by the Commissioner of
Natural Resources in order to protect the specific interests that the Department
of Natural Resources is concerned with.. The statute specifically allows for
further regulation by the Comnissioner.of Highways and/or by local authorities.
ti�
4. The statute prohibits any operation at all within the right of way
of amy interstate highway or freeway within the State. With regard to
operation upon a roadway, shoulder, or inside bank or slope of any trunk,
county state aid, or county highway in th�e State, the statute prcivides that
operation is prohibited on the right of way between the opposing lanes of
traffic except that it provides for a"direct crossing of a street or highway
at any hour of the day" under certain conditions.
5. Section 84.87 of the snowmobile statute provides that there shall
be no operation on the public sireet or highway unless the snowmobile is
equipped with at least one head lamp, one tail lamp, reflector material of a
minimum area of 16 square inches, and brakes, each of which shall conform
to standards prescribed by the Corrmissioner, subject to approval of the
Commi.ssioner of Highways.
��. Except in an emergency situation, no snowmobile may be operated
other than as provided above.
7. The statute further provi�es that the provisions of Chapter 169,
which apply to motor vehicles operation, also apply to the operation of
snowmabiles upon streets and highways, except for those relating to the
required equipment, and excep� those which by their nature have no application.
Accorciingly, the provisions of 169 insofar as th�y relate to equipment for a
motor vehicle will not be applied to the operation of a snowmobile.
(:. Section 84.871 also provides for equipping snowmobiles with a
muffler and sets out certain provisions relating to the exhaust system.
D. Subdivision 3 of Section 84.87 specifical]y provides that any city
or village may regulate the operation of snowmobiles on public lands, waters,
and property under their jurisdiction, and on streets and higt�ways within
their boundaries, by ardinance, and by giving appropriate notice, provided
the regulations are not inconsistent with the statutes. However, no
goverr�ment or unit may adopt an ordinance which either imposes a fee for use
of public land or water, or requires a snowmobile operator to possess a
motor vehicle driver's license while operating a snowmobile.
Therefore, it appears that the Minnesota Statutes do provide quite a bit of
regulation over the operation of the snowmobiles. A City ordinance cannot
be inconsistent with the State Statutes but we can be more restrictive
without being inconsistent. Under our City police power we could enact
certain restrictions as to equipment for the protection of persons using
the streets and highways and establish a speed limit rather than just a
"reasonable or proper" limit.
We could not require the operator of a snowmobile to possess a motor vehicle
drivers license and a recent attorney general's opinion, 1003, February 9,
1968, �olds that neither the Commissioner of Highways nor local authorities
are authorized to prnhibit the operation of snowmobiles on streets and
highways.
The Hennepin County League of Municipalities has drafted a proposed model
ordinance which is under consideration by the communities in Henri�pin County
to establish greater control and it does appear to be more restrictive than
the present City Ordinance and it should give the police something a little
more definite under which to operate.

Enclosed is the final draft of the PROPOSED UNIFORM SNOWMOBILE
ORDiNANCE FOR 1-iL'NNEPiN COUNTY MUNiCiPALiTiES. �
, This ordinance is the product of several meetings of the Ad Iloc ' '
, Snowmobile Committee formed last January by 22 of the municipalities
in Hennepin County. We feel 'that uniformity in regard to municipal �
regulations of activities which cross municipal iines is desirable
as a means of providing law enforcement officials with the capability
of uniform response to county-wide problems, citizens with knowledge
of what activities are permitted and what prohibited without regard
to their particular geographic position as they engage in the sport,
and in maintaining a system of local eontrol over problems which
have received stafie-wide attention.
.
We urge all communities in Henne�rin � County�;�to �adopt, the Propp'sed
Uniform Ordinance. �

1. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR REZONING; ZOA #70-06, SID BADER: Lot k,
Auditor's Subdivision 108, rezone from R-1 to R-3 the South 2/3rds.
The Public Hearing Notice was read by Acting Chairman Fitzpatrick.
The petitioner, Mr. Sid Bader, explained that they were hoping to con-
struct a 22 to 24 unit apartment building if granted the rezoning. They
have juat finished building an apartment at 1441 73rd Avenue Northeast, and
feel it is a desirable building. They will build a well constructed apartment
which �ill be an asset to the community.
The public hearing was opened to the sudience.
Mr. and Mrs. Drumm. residing at 1641 73rd Avenue which is the homde `
' adjacent to and East of the lot being �onsidered for rezoning etated
that his home was of average value with recent remodeling costing him about
$5,000.00. He stated that he was in sales and that it was not uncoa�mon for
him to be transfered on fairly short notice vhich would make it necessary
1 to sell his home with a ahorter,other than normal�amount of time to diapose
of it. He felt that if this property was rezoned, it would hinder his ability
to aell his hame.
�
�
'
PlanninQ Cot�ission Meetin� - December 9, 1970 PaRe 2%�
Mr. Drurun had the following comments and questions; First, he wondered
, if anyone could tell him when this construction would commence and when it
was completed, where would it be located with reference to his West line. He
questioned the location of outside facilities such as garbage cans, parking lot
' and driveway. He also wondered if there was any control over the number and
ages of the children in the families renting in the proposed building.
Mr. Bader stated that he could not answer all of Mr. Drumm's questions
, because they have not gone into much detail on the plan for a building on this
area yet. However, he would offer the following data: He would estimate that
it would take them about 30 days from the date of rezoning approval. The draw-
' ing that was submitted with his petition shows the building 15 feet fram your
West line �aith the driveway along the West side of the lot leading to a parking
lot to be located North of the proposed building.
�
'
Mr. Bader went on `o state that a11 the uuiis woul.d be two bedroom and
they had not thought of aL1y restricLioLis on the siLe of a family wanting to
live there. He wauld estimate, however, that the average age of the children
in their building at 1441 �ss sbout 14 year�.
Mrs. Drumm co�nented that most people will n�t buy next door to an apart-
, ment� Mr. Bader answered that when single family lots are close to lots zoned
R-3, there is the possibility �that the immediate ax�e� nay be considered for
apartments and it would make that property worth mor.e�
1
'
r
�]
'
Mr. Drumm felt that their home was too valuable to offset the increased
value if it were reaaned to R-3 therefore he felt his property would more than
likely remain R-1 and would fee2 much better if the proposed structure were
smaller, say a fourplex.
Mr. $obert S. Bigelow, 6322 Bass Lake Road, Minneapolis: He stated that
in all his real estate experience, he would have to say he would have as much,
or better, chance of selling Mr. Drumm's home with the type of building Mr. Bader
is canstructing as opposed to the kind of house that is there no�w.
Mrs. Druam� stated they bought their house in that area for privacy and
there were just ten children in the block, but now the number would increase.
• Mr. Drumm felt the height o� the building would affect the amount of light
his house would receive.
, Tom Marxen, 1620 Onondaga Street (Lot 5): He explained his property was
adjacent and lies East and North of the property under discussion. The pro-
posed road in the center of his property has been dedicated and he has built
one home on the front lot, and he intended to build another one on Onondaga.
� He has put in a lot of time and money so f ar, and felt that something had to
be resolved regarding the zoning and the dedicated street.
'
'
'
Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick believed the subject of the roadway ought to be
taken up at this time. Originally the proposed plan was for an East/West
street midway between Onondaga Street and 73rd Avenue in order to serve the
interior part of the block.
Planning Commission Meeting - December 9, 1970 PaAe 3��
The Engineering Assistant gave the following brief history for the area:
In 196�. the Pla�ning Commission and City Council adopted a street plan for the
���� ��' �°��-��-�� A����h �f ?3rd Avenue and East of Central Avenue. In this so-
�=����e� �r���� �lo��� �aein� bounded by Hayes Street on the West,on the E��� tay
Stin���a. ��ax&�sra�°dy on the North by Onondaga Street and on the South by 73rd Avenue,
the p�.a.n ir�dicated the need for an additional street to run East and West and to
be located half way between 73rd and Onondaga. There was also a couple of legs
off from this street out to either Onondaga or 73rd Avenue. However, at the time
this plan was adopted, the entire block was zoned R-1.
In 1963 Council approved some rezoning to R-3 in the West half along 73rd
Avenue in this $uper block thereby reducing the need for street access to the
rear of the 300 foot depth lots along 73rd Avenue that are zoned R-3. Aawever,
there still is a need for street access to the rear of the long lots facing Onon-
daga.
The area West of Zy�ticki property has been pretty well resolved by the
Couneil approwal of the Geor�e Nelson land use last Monday night. The two parcels
lying East of the Zywicki property have previous].y been split or platted with the
dedicattons of right of way to meet the plan for the addition of a street mid-
block between 73rd and Unondaga.
This then makes it nearly mandatory that we extend the dedication through
the Zywicki property of which we are considering tonight.
Acting Chairman Fitzpatrick asked if Darrel would explain the George Nelson
development a little more in detail.
It was then explained that Mr. Nelson was to dedicate a 35 foot street
easement along the West edge of Lot 30 from Onondaga South to midway between
Onondaga and 73rd to provide for an outlet if the East{West streets were to be
dedicated from Lot 30 to the West. He was not required to dedicate right of way
for the East/West street through lots 30 or 31 because he plans to leave the area
North of' the R-3 property (being the South half of Lots 30 and 31) open and to be
used for� recreation area for the building to be constructed along 73rd Avenue.
Mr. Nelson will be platting six lots along Onondaga for single family houses. It
was also e�cplained that Mr. Nelson was given approval to increase the number of
units allowed on the R-3 portion by the number of sinsle family dwellings that
could have been built on the R-1 vacant property adjacent to the R-3.
It was also pointed out that if a street were put in between land zoned
R-1 and R-3 with the R-3 property having already been served by a street and
sewer and water on the opposite end,that more than likely all the cost of the
sewer and water would have to be born by the R-1 property and 75X of the cost df
the street to be paid by the R-1 property. If this method were used to assess �the
improvements, it would put the cost so high that it could make it uneconomical
to have the street put in at all.
Mr. Drumm asked if the proposed rezoning would affect his taxes - would
they increase or decrease?
llarrel Clark answered that as far as the valuation of the property is
concerned, he would think it would stay the same because it is R-1 property.
Mr. Drwmm wondered, with the land already zoned for apartments in that
area, and which is for sale having a larger area than what is naw being rezoned,
why they need this lazid.
�
�J
�
Plannix�� Co�nission Meeting - December 9, 1970 pa�e 4��
Vice Gl�airman Fitzpatrick e�cpla�ned that the request for the rezoning was
by Mr. Zywicki, the awner of the la:�d, �aad he had asked Mr. Bader to develop it
for hian. The petitioner has the right to petition for rezoning of his own property.
He ttne�� �ked Darrel Clark how muctt R-3 land is available in that area.
' IDar�°el Clark expiained �hat abocat �.0% of the area zoned R-3 had R-3 develop-
ment on it now with the assumption that George Nelson is building on his property,
it would bring the developed R-3 property to about 40Y.
,
�
'
'

�
'
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Marxen if he were planning on splitting his lot.
Mr. Marxen replied that he platted the area because he did not know the kind of
homes Iie could build because of the frontage. If his land remained R-1, he would
need a street access, otherwise if there should be a possibility that the area
would all be developed R-3, the street access could be removed.
It was also explained that the outlet for the East/West street would make
it necessary for additional right of way along the East edge of Lot 32 naw owned
by E. H. Stein. It was noted that a letter from E. H. Stein, awner of Lot 32,
did not object to the rezoning. Mr. Harris then wondered if it might be necessary
to acquire another 30 feet of right away from Lot 32 to provide access to the East
lots. National Funds, former owners of Lot 32, platted the land including the
30 foot dedication, but never filed the plat.
Mr. Bigelow said he still didn't see how this access was affected by the
petition. It was explained that, assuming this East/West street were improved
right now with the area on both sides zoned R-1, the, improvement cost would
probably be borne equally on either side of the new street. Now assume Zywicki
property were zoned R-3 and developed prior to the new street being improved, then
you see the North side or R-1 property would pay nearly all the improvement cost
and the area on the South side of the new street very little because they already
have been served by 73rd Avenue.
' Mr. Marxen said in answer to Mr. Bigelow's question that he could not, at
this time, decide whether he would want his land zoned R-3 without access or ��;
whethe�:�ie could possibly accept the additional improvement cost for the new street
if the 8ywiek���parcel were rezoned to R-3. Hia main concern would be how could he
, develop his land with some profit to him and best fit the area as far as use was
concerned.
'
,
r
,
,
'
Mr. Harris cammented that the depth of the North one third of Lot 4 s 200
feet, the parcel remaining would be 101 feet deep. If a street were put thr�ugh,
that would leave Mr. Zywicki with a lot North of the street less than 100 fe t in
depth. In order to make that into buildable lots, he would almost have to p�irchase
some of the lot that faces Onondaga. It will take cooperation of the people in
the bloek to make the plan work. The Engineering Assistant said that the arwa
awned by Mr. Zwicki North of the area being rezoned would be about 75 feet North
and South by 175 feet East and West along the proposed street.
A comment was made that the houses in this area are, for the most part,
very ni ce homes .
MOTION by Minish, seconded by Harris, that the Planninq Commission close
the publi c hearing of the rezoning request, ZOA #70-06, Sid Bader, to rezone from
R-1 to R-3 the South 2/3rds of Lot 4, Auditor's Subdi vision #108. Upon a voice
vote, all votinq aye, the motion carried unanimously.

PlanninA Comanission Meeting - December 9, 1970 Pagie 5 �
Mr. Minish said that this rezoning request is another one of rl���e t�rouble-
some situations -- single family and multiple in tl�� ��.mp ���ae A� tfl�is point,
where Lakeside, if extended, would com� �hrough, wo��.d ma�k the E�te�ly boundary
of the multiple. The rest is single family. It seems that a natural break would
be the extension of Lakeside to keep it as a buffer.
Mre Schmedeke a�ked �hat if the proposed road were to go through, in
of ob�e�;�ions of so�e �f th� peoplen wou'd the prs�e�c�aa�� be �o ���s�!c�� s��� ��a�

awners wanted i�, the few undedicated parcels would probalbly be t��Cen by condemnation.
Mr. Harris said he was imp�essed by the presentation this evening as the
� petitioner had done a lot of ground work, such as getting signatures from most of
the people in the block. He was certain that in some way, if the petition were
granted, Mr. Drumm's pgoperty could be pxotected by berms, landscaping, etc. But
' before tne could vote for any rezoning on I,ot 4, the petitioner would have to agree
to dedicate the 5� foot right of way for the xest of �he other street. The South
half of L�t �2 is 1�-3 as �aell as all the lots to the West. With Mro Nelson's
project going a�a��� �ua3 ��e othe� ����tffient bu�l�ing in the area, that as time goes
' on, he was certain tkae �est of R-3 gr��s�stg� e�r'rll b� developed. Perhaps Lot 4 is a
�;ood pla:ce to stop, with Mr. Marxen cleveloping his praperty R-1. If the rezoning
request were �xan�ed9 in order to grotect Mr. Drumm, the Planning Commission would
� recommend the dedication of the street, adequate screening between R-1 and R-3
with trees, berms, etc. Mr. Schmedeke said he also felt that R-3 should stop with
Lot 4.
'
�
Mr. Marxen stated he would prefer a proper buffer on the North end of the
R-3 property.
In the ca�� �� t9r� r?��.���� �Y�� �ng�neerin� A�����:an� sa�d it was stipu-
lated there would be no access to the North.
� Mr. Schmedeke asked what the effect would be on the number of units in the
apartment if the street in the middle of the block would be dedicated. The Engineer-
ing Assistant answered that by taking the right of way, the petitioner would lose about
, 5,000 square feet which would amount to the loss of about 2 units. Sometimes a
street dedication is allowed in figuring the density of an area.
'
'
'
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Harris, that the Planning Commission recom-
mend approvaZ of the rezoninq request, ZOA #70-06, Sid Bader to rezone the South
Nalf of Lot 4, Auditor's Subdivision �l108, from R-1 to R-3 District with the stipu-
Iation that Mr. Zywicki continue the necessary dedications to connect a right of
way up with the already dedicated portion to the East, the access to this new
street be controlled or limited, the new R-3 area be properly and adequately
screened adjacent to the R-1 properties. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, except
Minish, voting nay, the motion carried.

Rl�aa�ninq Commis.sion MeetinA - December 9, 1970 Page 6 3
^ ,e�
The Engineering Assistant explained that this req��st involved some land
trading. The drawing he handed ou� c�as a d�a�r� o� ��� a��� and showed the lots
owned by the City for park. Outlot 1 is o�ed �y ��Se C�ty and is 26 fee:. w�de,
Mr. Nitschke signed an agreement wherein he stated th�t if the City would deed
him Outlot 1, he would deed to the City of Fxidley 12.7 feet of Lot 31, and the
South 2.7 feet of'Lot 32 of B�.ock 4' Lowell Add�tioct �� �ridley Park. His request
for a Special Use Permit is contingent upon a larxd t�adeo
Mr. Nitschke said that he talked with Mr. Hermann, City Assessor, and was
told the Council wanted him to make an offer for the land. He made an offer of
$250.00 for additional land.
Al�OTION by Narris, seconded by Schmedeke, that the PubZic Hearing be closed
for the the request of a Special Use Permit, SP#70-12 by Alvin �i. Nitschke to
construct a two family dwelling in an R-1 Dsstrict invoZving Outlot 1, Rice Creek
Plaza South, Lot 32, BZock 4, Lowe11 Additi0n to Fridley Park together with the
v8cated street between before mentioned parcel�. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting
aye, the rr�otion carried �na�imor�sly.
Mr. Schmedeke co�nented that across th� street from the proposed two
family dwelling is M-1 District, the la�d bacics i�p to R-1 and to the North there
is the possibility of another duplex being built. Darrel Clark added that Lot 10
is vacant, Lot 11 is occupied by a two family dwelling.
' Mr. Schmedeke added that after having seen the area, he had no objections
for the duplex being built inasmuch as there is another one in the same block,
and finally, there were no people here tonight fro� the neighborhood to object.
'
'
��
�
Mr. Minish commented that several years ago, when a similar request was
brought up before his Committee concerning this area, the place was packed. Naw
he is surprised at the lack of interest.
As Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, Mr. Fitzpatrick said
he would like to mention for discussion a possible stipulation for some kind
of fence along the South side of Nitschke �:ot, se,-quite often people build next
to parks and then complain of the results such as children running through the
yard, chasing balls, etc.
, The City, in the past, had made overtures to purchase putlot l, �ut
the price was too high. Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick said the Parks felt the price
was greater than the use the park would get for the additional park property.
�
��
'
��
�
The Eng�eering Assistant explained the reason for the change in the
zoning ordinance�that at R-2, a two family dwelling could be built, and in order
to control the type of construction, a Special Use Permit category was added to
the Code. With a Special Use Permit, the builder has to get approval of the
Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee for exteriors, elevations, etc.
This gives the City better control over the architectural design. R-2 zoning
had no such restrictions.

I�IOTION by 5chmedeke, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission
recormnend approval of the Special U�e Permit, SP �l70-12, by Alvin A. Nitschke
to construct a tcvo famiZy dwelling zn an R-I Dis�rict, Sectic�.� �5.19 (2A)
Fridley City Code, involvinq Outlot Z, Rice Creek P1aza South, Lot 32,
B1ock 4, LoweZZ Addition to FridZey Park together with the vacated street
between before mentioned parcels, subject to Covncil and City decisions on
land transfer as outlined in a statement dated October 27, 1970 signed by
Alvin A. Nitschke, that there wi1Z be saoe type of fence or buffer on the
Soath side of the property, and that the BuiZding Standards-Design Control
Subc�ommittee approve the building plans prior to submission to the Council,
and finally that Mr. Nitschke bring his plans before the Building Standards-
Design Control Subcommittee before the Special Use Permit is granted by
CounciZ and in that way Council would receive the complete package. Upon a
voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carrzed unanimously.
Mr. 1�itscPtice said he feit he did �ot .want the fence, and.: that ti noise of
the property owners abutting a park paid for their fencea, he Would rather
not have that stipulation in the motion. If t�,e wa�ted the fence, and if the
property would be a nuisance in that respect, fie would put it up.
' Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick said tha� quite often the City gets it in
reverse. The neighbors ask the Park Department to put up the fence. Usually
if one needs a f�nce, he calls the City and expects the City to put it up.
' The people around this park have not put up a fence, but we are considering a
.special use permit this evening. He �tou?dn't ask Mr. Nitschke to put up a fence
he would never need.
'
'
�
'
'
Mr. Schmedeke told Mr. Nitschke he felt that if the Chairman of the
Parks and Recreation Commission believes the fence to be necessary and prac-
tical but not to unnecessarily to burden you -- some day you may be more
than happy with it.
Mr. Nitschke said he plans to live in the proposed building, and
being that he was going to live there, it would probably have a contemporary
type of architecture and have a mansard roof. The architect that he is
planning to use is in New York at this time and-he could not give a date
this evening for the presentation of the plans.
3. OONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT BY N
CORPORATION: Lots 3 and 4, Block 2, Hayes River Lots (5950 Anna
Avenue)
� Mr. Harris said this request came to the Building Standards-Deaign
Control Subcommittee for concept approval. Then the request went directly
from Building Standards Design Control Subcommittee to Council without coming
to the Planning Commission. It was in the Building Standards minutes which
' went to Council, and they got involved in the townhouse concept, before the
request was received by the Planning Commission. The recommendation of the
Building-Standards-Design Control Subcommittee should have gone first to the

Planning Commission, then the Planning Commission make their recommendation
to the Council.
Darrel �ia�le ��id �txe �equest wi�s kaand�d go hi�a and he was told to put
it on ttae ag�ndaa
Mr. Harris felt the proper action would be that when the minutes are
presented to Council, their action would be only to receive them. If the
Ordinance requires the Planning Commission reco�nmendation prior to Council
approv�l, this procedure should be followed.
According to the Code, Darrel Clark said9 the procedure is.that the
preliminary plan comes before the Planning C��s�ion �a�d ���� to ��a�����
and Council approves or accepts with variances and then the petitioneg ffiu�+t
draw up final plans for approval and the request goes back to Planning
Commission and Council. Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee see
the preliminaxy plans first.
Mr. Ii�xri�s said that all the Subcommit�ee saw was outsi�e elev�uions of
the building� �d where parking lots are going tt�-be. The same drawrings
were given the Plaxiniag Commission this everaing.
The petitioners went before the Board of Appeals for high rise apart-
' meaats and got approval. When they consulted the bank, they were told it was
not feasible or economical and then they came back with the townhouse concept.
Council said they liked the idea.
' MOTIDN by Minish, seconded by Harris, that the Plannang Commission
table consideration of a preliminary plaaa for Townhouse Development by N.C.R.
Corporation to be constructed on Lots 3 and 4, Block 2, Hayes River Lots,
' until the final plan is filed with the Building Inspection Department.
Upon a voice vote, alI voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

recommend to Cobancil t1�at the City Attorraey be i�structed to review Sec�ion
45.14 Townhouse Development and that the proposed amendment for Item 2 under
' Section 45.141 include a provision for review of the final plans•by the

SEMENT BY JERRY
ABRAMSHU.K. 3AV #70-05: To vacate the Northerly 7 feet of the Southerly
15 feet of Lot 1, Block 5, Rice Creek Plaza South.
Mr. Abramshuk was present.
It was explained by Darrel Clark that, at the rear of Lot 1, Block 5,
Rice Creek Plaza, there is an existing 15 foot utility easement, and adjacent
PlanninQ Commission Meetint� - December 9, 1970 Pa�.,,e 9
is a ten foot easment off Holiday Shopping Center parcel making a total of ��°
25 feet. The previous owner of Lot 1 built a garag� five or six years ago
on the rear part of the lot and, without knawing, encroached some 6 feet on
the easement. Mr. Abramshuk wants to add to the garage for storage purposes
and had heard he did not n�ed a permit. When a building inspector drove by,
he noticed the construction and stopped it. When a certificate of survey
was brought in, it showed encroachment of the existing garage into 15 feet
of the easement. The City contacted Northern States Power and Northwestern
Bell Telephone to get their opinion of the petition for vacation of the
Northerly 8 feet. Both responded in this that�they have no objection, and
the City has no objection because we have no utilities in the area.
Mr. Abramshuk was very apologetic to the City for not follawing the
proper procedure. The total easement is 25 feet which would still leave 17
feet after vacation. The lot next door has a 15 foot easement also.
Mr. Schmedeke noticed that the fence is right on the lot line and that
he felt the request should be approved.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission
recoII►rnend approval of the vacation request, SAV #70-05, by JarosZaw Abram-
shuk, of the Northerly 7 feet of the Southerly 15 feet of Lot .I, B1ock 5,
Rice Creek Plaza South. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion
carri ed unanimousl y .
Darrel Clark added that the Administration has allowed Mr. Abramshuk
to continue his construction without a permit because one half of the struc=
ture is up and because of winter, it would be a hardship not to finish it.
5. QONSIDER DATE OF SECOND MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN DEC�ER:
December 23, 1970.
The Commission agreed not to meet on December 23, 1970, but if requests
came in that were urgent and could not wait until January 6, 1971, the next
regular meeting, the members would be polled.
ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business, Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick adjourned

TO INCRSASE TI� I�A2C� SIGIQ � Fi)� � F�E S�iDING SIGN IN AN AU'1b1rIDBB.E
QVD�7Tf+4 Affni• r.�n� nn
Mr. William Rosen, Attorney for Speedy Car Wash, presented the request. He
explained the car wash was one of the early buildings in this area and at that
time they had an agreement with the landowner, Mr. Mortenson, to put up a sign
at the corner of Central and 52nd Avenue. �The agreement stated the sign could
remain at that location until such time as the landowner wanted to use the
land for some other purpose. �h'he landowner has now sold this piece of property
to Ttain City Federal and our sign has been taken down.
Mr. Rosen stated further that they are asking to put the same sign back up
� again approximately 175 feet North of where the sign was located. This will
still be on Mr. Mortenson's property. There will be some repair work done
on the si�ax as it wa� d�noaged when it was taken dawn.
'
'
�
Chairnian Minish ask�d Mr. ��gstad if the Building Inspection Department had
any coaments on this request.
Mr. Bagstad answered the Skywood Mall Shopping Center has an area identification
sign already and according to the Code is only allawed one. There are extra
signs on this property which Mr. Mortenson is aware of and also this property
needs some maintenance work completed.
Mr. Rosen stated the car wash did have three small A-frame "open" signs which
, they will be removing. He had talked with the City Attorney who had talked to
the City Engineer who informed him the City Engineering Department had no
objections to the pylon sign if the small signs were remwed.
� Mr. Gordon Bloom with the Property Management Department of 1�ain City Federal
showed the Board how they are planning to develop the corner property. He
stated he was at the meeting to inform the Board of this and not to object to
, the sign. He added that �ain City Federal will be erecting a sign at the
approximate location of the old car wash sign.

The Board of AQpeals Minutes of December 15. 1970 paAe Z
, Mr. George Boyd, from Robert Hall, was concexned with the car wash erecting
a larger sign than what they had up but he had no objections to the�
putting up the same sign.
Drigans asked Mr. Bagstad why a variance was needed when the sign has
already been in existence and is just being relocated?
Mr. Bagstad answered our present code covering aigns was not iti effect
at the time the sign was first erected and now since the sign is over
the minia�m sign size requirement as stipulated in the code, the variance
is necessary to re-erect the sign.
MOTION by Sondheimer to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried.
MOTION by Sondheiner to recommend to the City Council approval of the
request to relocate the sign approximately 175 feet North of the old
location but in the same relative position with the following sEfpulations:
1. Said sign to have an area not exceeding 252 square feet.
2. All extra signs to lie taken down and the original sign be erected in
the original fashion.
3. The Building Inspection Department be allowed to add their stipulations
to the Sign Permit.
MOTION dies for l�.ck of a second.
Drigans stated he felt the hardship is that the sign had been erected and
in existence for some time. He felt the Board had no control over where
the aign is to be located as long as it is within the confinea of the
owner's property. He said all the Board had the right to do was to act on
the variance of sign area as that is all the applicant is asking for.
Sondheimer said he would rephrase the motion to omit the area where the
sign was to be located.
MOTION by Sondheimer to reco�end to the City Council approval of the
request to erect a sign, said sign having an area of 252 aquare feet, with
the following stipulations:
1. All extra signs be taken down and the original sign be erected in the
original fashion.
2. The Building Inspection Department be allowed to add their stipulations
to the Sign Permit.

Mr. Hudson stated the company is re-ideatifyia�g itself by doia� away with
' the triangle sign because of not being able to use it world wide. The new
design is being used in all the advertising and Mr. Ryan is being
jeapordized as he is not taking advantage of thie advertising. We wanted
' to place the sign out of the way as far as the traffic is concerned and
we felt the pump island would be best. The present sign is up againet the
property line and is in need of some repair work. The aew siga will be
, 8 feet 7 inches from the property line so we are asking for a 1� foot
variance. The price panel off the present sign Nill be placed on the
new sign.

Sondheim�x asked what wind velocity the new sign will withstand?
Mr. Hudson answered 20 miles per square inch. He continued they have
e been installing these signs throughout the state and Iawa and have
had no trouble with them. He felt it was an attractive sign.
Sozidheimer asked Mr. Bagstad what the Building Inspection Department thought
of this sign.
Mr. Bagstad answered it would be an improve,ment to the area and that it
was difficult to locate a sign on this property.

1. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT AN ADDITION TO THE EXISTInG BUILDING
LOCATED ON LOTS 28, 29, 30, BLOCK 2, ONAG?AY ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 7805
BEECH STREET N,E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY ADVANCED HEATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING, INC., 7805 BEECH STREET N.E., MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55432.)
. �
Mr. Maynard Edson and Mr. Roger Lind were present to present the request.
The addition will be 87' X 70`. The addition will be concrete block like the
existing buildirig. The entire building, including the addition, will all be
painted at the same time so that the paint will all match. They will also
be replacing all the windows for this reason. There will be 6 brick veneer
columns across the front of the building. The columns on the addition will
match the ones on the existing building. There will be break-off block
across the top of the addition. The roof will be bar joist construction.
With the addition to the building it was stated that they would need 16
additional parking spaces. They had room for 7 additional spaces at the
back of the building. The Board stated that they would need an agreement
from Advanced Heating & Air Conditioning agreeing to add additional parking
if necessary. They stated that this would be'agreeable to them. Mr. Edson
also stated that there would be a 5 foot sidewalk along the parking lot in
the back of the building. �
The Board also informed the owner that they would be expected to check with
the City before making any future rental agreements of the property to
prevent any possible parking problems which might result from lessees
requiring excessive parking. �
When the subject of a"foundation permit was brought up, Mr. Harris said that
he was not in favor of issuing a foundation permit on this size of a building
because it puts a burden on the City and on the contractor.
Mr. Tonco inquired whether the 2 X 6 ceiling joist was adequate across the
span as shown in the plan and also if this met our fire codes.
When the subject of what means of storage of refuse they had was brought up,
Mr. Edson stated they intended to have a rubbish container to the rear of
the buildino 4Thich they �aould haul away every 4�eek.
After discussing the plans further, Mr. Edson stated that he would just as
soon blacktop the land at the south end of the building for parking instead
of putting sod in. However, he said he would like to wait until 78th Ave.
was finished. .

RE: Property, Casualty Insurance Bid. December 16, 1970.
Gentlemen:
December 18, 1970
T�,io bids were received for the City of Fridley Insurance protection for
the three year term commencing January l, 1971.
There is a question if the bid from the Anoka County Agency, Inc. d.b.a
Insurance Service Agency meets spec ifications.
On page 3 of their bid where "exceptions to specifications, if any" are
asked for, the bidder infers in the second paragraph that they are
waiting for a bid figure from the Continental Casualty Company for
umbrella coverage which would seemingly leave their section V-i umbrella
liability options 1 and 2 in doubt as to authenticity.
Under their paragraph 3, they infer that no mention was made of police
professional liability coverage and have proposed separate coverage at
� an additional�cost of $2,419.00. I do not agree with their conclusion
that we did not ask for such coverage for the Police Department, as
false arrest, invasion of privacy, wrongful detention, etc. as on Page
� 1 of the bid, under general liability coverage, sub-paragraph "C"
this type of coverage is clearly called for. By inference then, there
is a question if their primary bid included this coverage.
The bid form from the P. M. Endsley Co. did meet and exceed specifications.
'' They are to use a form of coverage that will provide "agreed value"
which precludes the possible invoking of a co-insurance penalty in the
event of a property loss to the municipal buildings. Their deductible
under this form is $100.00 per occurrence for property losses rather
' than the specifications $250.00 deductible, There would be no
deductible for the liquor store buildings o.r contents and here again the
specifications permitted a$250,00 deductible. Their liquor liability
, rates would be guaranteed for three years. They are also proposing
coverage through the same insurance company as present, which means

there would be no procedural changes involved for claims, engineering
or auditing.
Based upon the above information we would �ecnmmend that the P. M.
Endsley Co. quotation be accepted, subject to a final review of the
exact policy upon delivery.

Dear Mr. Brunsell:
' Enclosed are two copies of a proposed form of Joint Pawers
Agreement to establish the North Suburban Service Service Board. I
refer you to my prior letter of November 19, 1970 and the attached
Resolution of the Board of Trustees of the North Suburban Sanitary
� Sewer District recommending the establishment of such a group.
This recommended fotm of Joint Powers Agreement is being
e sent to you for your consideration and formal adoption by your
Council. We hope that the Agreement can be adopted by all interested
municipalities before the end of 1970.

Please note that the purpose of the Board is to "provide a
collective body to represent the interests of (our) municipalities in
the development and maintenance of an efficient and econamic system

for the collection and disposal of sewage and other waste material within
the North Suburban Service Area" and to otheawis� provide a vehicle for
the review of action taken or conte�piated by� t�e Metropolitan Sewes
Board and to a�sist our representagiv�s Mr� �Tos�ph ^. C���z, f� ��_� ;�������
�ei�ted to the Metrop�litan Sewer �oard.
The powers and duties of the Board, as s�aied in Article 3, are
broad and we do contemplate a method of funding this Board although the
projected annual costs of the operation of same are minimal. The budget
for 1971 should not be in excess of $15,000.00 and barring som� unusual
circumstances, it would appear that the annual budgets thereafter would
be even lower.
I encourage you to review this proposed form of Agreement at
your early convenience and brin� the matter for discussion to your
Council. If you have any specific questions or sug�estions for change,
would you please contact � by telephone or mail and I will attempt to
make myself available to you for discussion either witti your staff or
your Council if you deem this necessary. My business telephone number
is 332-0211 and you can otherwise contact me through the North Suburban
Sanitary Sewer District office.
' Again I should state that the North Subu�ban Sanitary Sewer
District Board of Trustees deems this matter of ut�nost importance,
there being a great deal of unfinished business for the North Suburban
, Service Area, not only in terms of credits ar►d other problems of the
North Suburban Sanitary Sewer District but also in t�r�ns of the
incorporation of the west side of the river into our total North
Suburban Service Area. The problem is a common one to us all aud is�
' impertant because of the total scope of the business of the Metropolitan
Sewer Bo�rd and of the money involved therewith.

FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55421
The cost of disposing of sewage for the year 1971 wi11 be higher than it has
been in the past. While we feel the bill the City received is in error and sub-
stantial adjustments will have to be made in the bill, the cost will undoubtedly
be higher than it has been running in the past.
� A survey of eight surrounding communities z'�veals that about half of them
intend to raise the rates, but have not decided on the rate change at this time,
and about half have no definite plans at this time. The question at this time
is whether the City should adopt an interim rate schedule effective January 1,
' 1971. This would be used until such time as the amount of the sewer bill is
finally determined.
,
'
,
r
�
The financial integrity of the utility fund should be maintained so that
necessary repair and maintenance of lines, etc. can continue. We will not know
the exact amount the rates should be increased until such time as our bill is
finally determined. In any event, a rate increase will be needed.
I would suggest to the Council that consideration be given to authorizing the
administration to prepare a sewer rate schedule, effective January 1, 1971, with
rates 50% higher than the current rates in effect. This would raise approximately
$130,000 additional per year. It would also put our rates at one of the highest
levels in the area. When more informa�tion is known concerning the final outcome
of our bill for sewa;e disposal, the rates would re adjusted again at that time<
If the Council concurs in this recommendation, the resolution will be prepared
for Council action for the first meeting in January.

Each iteffi sh�aald be ����d on se��r�tely on the enclosed postcard ballot.•
State Guarantee of Local Bond Issues� An unduly la�ge percentage o£ Minnesota
municipalities ha�� box�d ratings which result ia� ia�terest rates approaching
legal limits and which make their obligations gener�l�y ineligible for the
portfolios of banking institutions. The League reco�mends legislation which
would place the full faith and credit of the state behind the general
obligation bond issues of all local government units. Such a program would
be an effectfve and immediate �me�ns oi all�eviating the aitustion. In order
to pay any delinquencies or deiau3ts,�an �n�urance fund should be created
and financed by a uniforen a�se��ment not to exceed 1% of the particular bond
iasue, against those issuers of bond8, eaho wish the state to guarantee their
obligationa.
' Short-term Finzncin�. Minnesota municipalities are severely hampered by
limited means of short-term borrowinge Presently available alternatives
lack flexibility and are otherurise restricted as to use and manner of
issue. The League recommends legislation which would authorize municipalities
' to establish limited lines of credit with banks whereby local units could
directly borrow amounts for a p�riod of up to three years without voter
approval, except where the amaunt exceeds one per cent of the assessed
' valuation of the municipality, in which case a referendum would be required
upon filing of a requisite petition.

Comments on Proposed Policy Additions
52
State Guarantee of Local Bond Issues� The irst pronosal is a recommendation
that the state place the full faith and credit of its taxing powers behind the
general obligation bond issues of local government units� In the past year and
a half, some municipalities both outstate �nd in the Twin Cities axea have
found that money for their capital needs has been both difficult and expensive
to obtain. It seems probable that the state guarantee would improve substantially
the bond ratin�s fox these municipaliti.es, resulting both in improve�'
marketability of the�.r bonds and in considerable interest rate savings.
While there is no history of defaults on Minnesota municipal general
obligation issues, the insurance fund included in the proposal will serve as
an additional safeguard against delinquencies or defaults, so that the credit
of the state in no case would be impaired.
An important feature of this proposal is its voiuntarv nature. Participation
in the state guarantee program would be at the discretion of the municipality.
Each local unit would continue to have9 within its statutory limit, the freedom
to undertake its own financing� and in no case would review by a state agency
be made under this proposal:,
Short-term Financing. The second proposal would give municipalities additional
flexibility in short�term financing, allowing them to establish limited lines
of credit with banks. Apart from the discretion which a prospective lender may
be expected to exercise, the proposed authority would be restricted in two ways.
First, a three-year time limit is proposed. Secon�, instead of specifying a
dollar limitation, the proposal includes an altternative which allows for the
differing financial conditions of municipalities. Similar safeguards have
proved very workable, as i.n M.S.A. 412.221 Subd. 2 tconditional sale contracts,
contracts for deed.) and M:,S.A„ 412�301 (certificates for indebtedness for
purchase of emergency equipment). Both statutes provide that where the amounts
involved exceed one per cent of the assessed valuation, the municipality must
publish a resolution determining to proceed with the proposal and an election
is required if within 10 days after publication a petition signed by voters
equal to 10 per cent of the number of votes at the last regular municipal
election is filed with the clerk� Of course, if the voters then reject the
proposal, the community cannot proceed. On the other hand, if no such petition
is filed, the municipality is free co make the contract, etc.
As you are probably aware, the practice of issuing warrants - the one really
useful short-term financing alternative available to most municipalities -
has been criticized in recent years by the Public Examiner and the Minnesota
Bankers Association. In 1969� a bill was introduced in the legislature to
prohibit the issuance of warrants and it is possible that a similar bill will
be introduced in 1971. If warrants are to be outlawed, then a satisfactory
substitute must be provideda Discussions with the above groups have indicated
that they would favor the proposed short-term borrowing authority.

Dear Mr. Ankrum:
COUNTY StiOP
421-5920
The Minnesota Department of Highways is proposing the instal-
lation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Trunk Highway
No.47 and County Road 132 (85th Avenue N.��?.) at or near the common
boundary of Coon Rapids, Blaine, Spring Lake Park and Fridley.
The cost of the project is estimated at approximately $40,000.00.
The Minnesota Department of Highways will finance and pay for half
the cost or about $20,000.00. Anoka County will participate in half
of the remainder or about $10,000.00. The remaining approximate
$10,000.00 has to be financed by the local municipalities.
4Te are requesting that you municipalities of Blaine, Coon Rapids,
Fridley and Spring Lake Park come to an agreement as to how to divide:-
1. The approximate remaininb �10,000.00 construction cost.
2. The cost of electric po�oer for signal operation. �
3. The cost of maintenance performed by the Minnesota Depart-
ment of High�vays.
It is requested that A;reement be arrived at as expeditiously
as possible so that the project can be prepared for letting.
Yours very truly,

Dear Jake:

In reply to your letter of December 4 regarding the proposed instaliation of a
traffic signal at the intersection of T. H. 47 and 85th Avenue N.W., I have
the following comments .
This intersection is approximately 600 feet east of the Coon Rapids City limits
as measured along 85th Avenue and approximately one-fourth of a mile as
measured southeasterly along T. H. 47. Because it is outside the City limits
of Coon Rapids my immediate reaction is that there is little justification for
this City participating in the cost. While it is true that 85th Avenue will
serve as a major entrance into the Evergreen Industrial Park and the industrial
property of the Burlington Northern Railway; there may be some question of
the legality of the City expending money for a purpose of this kind outside the
City limits.
Because none of the intersecting streets are city. streets, but rather trunk
highways and county roads,� it would seem that the cost would more logically
be divided equally between the state and county highway departments without
any local participation at all. .
Don't let these immediate reactions give you the impression that I have a
closed mind on this beubject; if you want to call a meeting of ail parties
concerned, I wou?d/happy to attend or have a representative there .
' Very truly youurs,

I forwarded a memo to the City Manager and Council on November
13, 1970 stating that the owner of the above property wanted to give
five (5) feet less so he would have a total of eighty (80) feet for
his lot. The lots in the area are seventy-nine and eight tenths
(79.8) feet. This would be giving him our twenty-six (26) feet for
his fif teen and four tenths (15.4) feet instead of twenty and four
tenths (20.4) feet. Mr. Brunsell told me this could not be accepted
and felt the owner should pay for the additional five (5) feet. I
have contacted him on this and it was agreed that he would pay,
subject to council approval,�two hundred fifty ($250.00) dollars for
the additional five (5) feet. He would also pay for sewer lateral
for the entire eighty (80) feet.
The remaining part of the agreement would stay the same such
as the City assuming the cost of survey and real estate title transfer
costs. �

� The Outlot that the City has north of Jay Park is 26' frontage.
It was agreed to try to exchange that for the South 20.4' of the
property between this Outlot and Jay Park. The property owner would
then have a 75' lot. He felt that he should have an additional 5'
so his lot would be 80'. This I feel is reasonable and would
recommend to go along with this trade.

� MEMO T0: CITY COUNCIL
L__I
FROM:
DATE:
MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ACTING CITY MANAGER
DECEMBER 15, 1970
� SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF ACCOUNTING MACMINE
�
On November 16, 1970, the City Council authorized the Administration
� to enter into a lease/purchase for an NCR electronic accounting machine.
This lease/purchase would have resulted in a savings of over $100 per
month compared to the straigh� rental plan which we are now on.
The City Attorney and I, in looking over the form of the lease which
was submitted, had some reservations about signing it. There was the
possibility it could be construed as a purchase rather than a lease.
The City Attorney recommended we advertise for bids for the machine
even though the City Charter makes reference to the purchase of certain
patented equipment.• I have no quarrel with this plan and it would certainly
keep the record clear if we proceeded on this basis. We can then enter into
an outright sales contract with NCR rather than the leasing company.
The NCR sales contract will save the City more money as the interest
rate is less, and the City would make lump sum payments rather than monthly
payments, therefore, the average amount owing is less.
The total cost to the City for the straight rental plan which we are
currently under for a three year period would be $23,580.00. The total
cost to the City for the lease purchase plan which was previously authorized,
including the service contract, would be $19,850.43. The total three year
cost to the City for the sales purchase contract plan would be $16,935.81,
including the service contract.
This proposal is the result of many discussions between NCR, the
leasing company, the City Attorney and myself.
The Council's action would be to authorize advertisement for bids for
ore electronic accounting machine.
