FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR REZONING REQUEST (ZOA #69-11) AND CONSIDERATION
OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT (SP #69-01), BURLINGTON NORTHERN:
Mayor Kirkham read the Ordinance aloud for the Council and the audience. The City
Engineer said that items "n" and "q" are the areas of the proposal by the railroad
that show substantial change in that submitted by the City. He explained that the
first pages in the Agenda are the petition submitted by the City and the last
petition is that of Surlington Northern.
Councilman Liebl said that he noticed that the changes are mainly in Items "g",
"n" and "q". He said that he would like to say as the Third Ward Councilman that
� he would be hesitant to give such broad authorization in regard to Item "n". He
said that he would like to have a more sol�.d commrtment to protect �he City of
Fridley. He pointed out that the City does not have much industrial land left
available, and he is very anxious to qet every parcel of industrial land onto the
tax xolls. The way that Bux'lington Northern has this item worded would not give
the City any assurance that this would ever happen. He said that he would strongly
urge a further commitment by Burlington Northern.
LJ
Mr. Russel Thompson, Assistant Director, Construction Pro�ects for $uriington
Northern, asked if they were able to make an access from the East River Road side,
would this be a sufficient inducement? He pointed out that Burlington Northern is
going to be making a sizeable investment in the area. He said that the actual
railroad operation would not extend more than about 150 feet, and the other area
should be available for the other structure. 1-Ie did not feel that this would be
too much of a deterrent. He said that they were looking at other possibilities,
but this is the most feasible location as it would provide for quick movement of
cars. He then went to the screen and pointed out the area in question. He said
that traffic could be diverted to East River Road. The overpass over 43rd Avenue
would take care of much of the traffic. He said that they were not planning the
T.O.E•C. area for about three years unless given the authority to do so now. He
said that he could not say that this industrial land could ever be put on the tax
roll�, they may wnat to use it. If a reduction could be made in certain areas,
maybe some land could be made available to industry. Councilman Liebl said that
it would take about 300 feet in depth to get any industxy in there. xe said that
he would like somthing more specific in this regard. Mr. Thompson said that they
felt that if they gave any more land, the property would not be operable. Council-
man Liebl asked if he was not saping then that they will eventually be going into
a T.O.F.C. Mr. Thompson said that he was not sure, that they would still be
looking for alternate locations. He pointed out that the Council would still have
control. Councilman Liebl asked the'City Attorney if a bond would not give the
City more protection. Mr. Wyman Smith, City Attorney in Leonard .7uster's absence,
�d�
REGULAR COUNCIL MECTING OF APRIL 20, 1970 PAGE 3
said yes, a bond would give the City more protection. A representative of �
Burlington Northern asked 7ust what kind of a bond. Councilman Liebl said that
he would like more assurance that the industrial property will eventually be on
the tax ro11s. I£ this is the case, he would be willing to vote for it. The
bond would give the City the assurance that eventually the property would be used
for industry, rather than a piggy back yard. He said that if the City had a lot
of industrial land left, they could afford to be more generous, but every piece
of land must work for the City. Mr. Thompson pointed out that the railroad
is developing other land industrial within the City of Fridley, and commented that
the development of the railroad yard makes other areas in Fridley attractive to
industry because of the convenience of the railway. With this thinking the
T.O.F.C. would make rt a benefit to industrial development.
Mayor Kirkham said that he was afraid that the suggestion as to the traffic would
not be satisfactory. The traffic is already bad on East River Road, and he did not
think anything would be solved by putting more traffic onto East River Road.
Mr. Carl Paulson suggested the use of other submarginal land along the railroad
tracks. Mr. Thompson said that they did not want to locate any further out of
town because of the higher operating costs. If any more cost were added, it would
make it impractical.
Councilman Sheridan said that a change in the wording of the paragraph would
satis£y him. He said that if it were to read as follows: "Petitioner agrees
to make this property in parcel 1200, legally described as Lots 2 and 3, Auditor's �
Subdivision #78, available to industrial development", and take out the phrase.
"an exhaustive study of alternative locations £or the proposed T.O.F.C. facility
in an attempt to make the---", then it would be acceptable. If the Council were
to accept it as it reads now, they would probably be accepting a T.O.F.C. in
this location. He asked what if the "exhaustive study of alternate locations"
is not fruitful. A Representative of Burlington Northern said that he felt that
the Council is not committing themselves to anything. They would still retain
the right to act on any future T.O.F.C. at this yard. Councilman Sheridan said
that even if the Council refused a special use permrt for the T.O.F.C. there
would be no guarantee that industrial business would then go in there. The rail-
road could hold this property forever.
Councilman Lieb1 asked if they would be willing to go along with Item "n" as
Councilman Sheridan stated. Mr. Thompson said that this puts them in the same
position as with the petition the City wrote He felt very strongly that this
should not be part of the conditions, but the Council feels that it should. This
puts them in exactly opposite corners. He said that he was not in the position to
approve of this petition as Councilman Sheridan suggested, but that it would have
to go to a higher office.
Councilman Liebl asked about Item "q". He said that he understood that Burlington
Northern would be willing to bear the full cost of the shoo fly and 10% of the
remaining cost of the pro�ect within the right of way limits, not including the
shoo fly. Mr Thompson said yes, the shoo f1y would not be considered part of
the cost of the pro�ect. Councilman Breider asked the cost differential between �
what the City proposes and what Burlington Northern proposes. The City Engineer
said that the difference is about $60,D00 Their estimate is $215,000 and the
City's proposal is $275,000. Councilman Breider asked what is the main ob�ection
to the small amount of additional cost. Mr. Thompson said the money. The
estimate for their pro�ect was about $24,000,000 before the Mississippi Street
�''� �

� underpass came up. In addition to this some Minneapolis water lines have to be
relocated. Every time something comes up, it invalves more money. He felt that
they were more than meeting their commitment with the City of Fridley.
Councilman Breider asked about Item "p" in the petition. He asked what was meant
by "exoessive". Mx. Thompson said that if the haul had to be hauled 7 or 8 miles
and amounted to a large quantity, you could be talking about $75,000 to $100,000.
IIe said that they would want to get together befare hauling if it was for some
distance, and for a large amount. Councilman Breider asked if he could establish
a mile radius. Mr. Thompson said that first you would have to find out where to
waste the material. It may be possible to put it in an industrial area to build it
up. They tried to find out where this land is and it appears that it may be 7 or
8 miles. This would seem excessive. They had in mind somewhere along East River
Road that could be gotten to easily. He said that they would not want to do too
much hauling through residential neighborhoods. There would have to be some sort
of a determination on where the fill would be going. He did not think that this
was an important part of the petition. At the time it was brought up it was not
considered of great importance. Councilman Breider asked what the cost could
amount to. The City Engineer said that there are charges different ways. It could
be a lump sum for a �ob, or it could be so much per mile. It could be about 10C to
15t per cubic yard per mile wrth something additional for loading and maybe more
depending on where a.t is to be hauled. Councilman Breider said that he was
concerned about the word "excessive". There are no established rates, and the
original proposal was for getting the fill at first option at no charge. He asked
� if they would be willing to work with the City's stipulation rather than theirs.
Mr. Thompson said that this is another one way street, and the Council has the
control. There is no way of knowing how many yards we are speaking of, nor how £ar
it is to be hauled. If there was three million yards, they would not want to haul
it too far Shis could become very costly. He said that their thinking was that
they could handle this material for the Crty within a decent distance, the contrac-
tor would then have to be made aware of how much and how far.
Councilman Liebl said that he was very appreczative of the cooperation Burlington
Northern has shown with the Crty of Fridley Council and the Planning Commission
He said that this was very commendable. He said that he did not want any mis-
understanding, but he would certainly like their agreement on Item "n". He said
that they could always come back in the future and request what they want, and
the City would have the assurance, if some industry would want to develop the land
that it was not tied up, and could become a tax advantage to the City. He said
that there seemed to be compromises in other areas successfully. He said that this
has nothing to do with the request at this time. Mr Thompson agreed that the
T.O.F.C. is not part of this request, and suggested that the first reading could be
held on the Ordinance and they will try to get Item "n" changed before the second
reading He said that this will be checked out with the higher office. Council-
man Liebl said that Councilman Harris was very insistant on this point in their
discussions.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to approve the Ordinance on £irst reading, and the
petition with the cha�nged wording as follows= "n": Petitioner agrees to make
1 this property in parcel 1200, legally described as Lots 2 and 3, Auditor's Sub-
division #78, available to industrial development", and "p": The City will be
granted first option on any excess material available from said construction to
be dumped witha.n the City of Fridley at the direction of the Engineer of the City
of Fridley at no charge, as agreed upon 6y the City Engineer and Burlinqton
Northern". Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a roll call vote, Liebl,
Breider, Sheridan and Kirkham voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
carried

Councilman Liebl said that before the item is tabled he would like to make a
request of the Administration. He said that he would like to have the infor-
mation on how much in special assessments there has been against the Rieclel

63rd Avenue. He said that he would like to know how much they have paid in an

C-1 TO C-2� GENERALLY LOCP.TED IN TH� NORTHWEST CORNER OF 73RD AVENUE AND UNIVERSITY
AVENUE AND REQUEST FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT BY STEVE CODDON:
Councilman Breider asked how the special use permit should be handled. The City
Cngineer said that this was brought to the Council's attention now, but the special
use permit could be approved on the second reada.ng of the rezoning ordinance.

Standards - Design Control Subcommittee and the City Engineer said yes, then to
the Council. This is for a car wash with gas pumps.

DISCUSSION OF MEMO BY CITY ATTORNEY JUSTER ON HXDE PARK IMPROVEMENT AND
PAGE 6
Mayor Kirkham reported that Councilman Harris has asked that there be no action
on this item tonight, as he is sick and could not make the Meeting. As Mr.
Leonard Juster is not here either, it would be in order to table to May 4, 1970
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the memoxandum £rom Nlr. Leonard T. Juster,
City Attorney, dated Apxil 16, 1970, and open_this item for discussion.
Councilman Liebl said that the opinion rendered by the City Attorney is self
explanatory, very unbiased and honest. He said that he would like to say as
Councilman of this Ward at this time, that he felt that it would not be 7ustifiable
to rescind the resolution for the improvement of the slip-off. The property
should be rezoned as was approved on the first reading on November 3, 1969 by
four votes of the Council. This has been discussed over the past two years to
develop plans for this area, and as you all know the plan was to develop the area
between 57th Avenue and 60th Avenue as commercial and west of 2'� Street as R-3.
� This was in order to clean up the area and develop the area as a sound and
responsible commercial establishment. He reported that he has received over 200
telephone calls in the past urging the Council to continue to fight for the
ma7orrty of the people. Some members of the Council were derelict in not voting
af£irmative at the second reading. He said that he has tried conscientiously to
clear up this area and get a tax structure in, and has been striving for a better
community. He said that he would like to hear from the people in the audience in
support of his stand. He said that he had worked hard and had thought that he had
the support of the two at-large members. He still felt that the best way to
proceed would be in the manner laid out by the City Manager. He asked for comments
from the audience and there was applause. Councilman Liebl continued that he did
not know why the two members o£ the Council voted as they did, but he would urge
a change in vote to get a progressive and positive approach to the development of
the area. He said that the Council was told that some of the people have hired
an attorney to bring this item to the court and he would like to hear tonight if
this is true. He pointed out that there was money wasted on the planner and the
plan adopted was drawn up by the City's hard worka.ng, capable City Manager. I-Ie
urged the Council to listen to the people.
THE MOTION was seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Opon a voice vote, all votinq aye,
Mayar Kirkham declared the motion carried.
Mr. Andrew Kohlan, Attorney, said that to keep the record straight, there was a
meeting with some of the people of the area and some 17 property owners are willing
to participate in legal action. They a11 have two or more parcels of land. There
� is no alternata.ve to instituting legal proceedings unless there is some reaction
by the Council.
Mx. Carl Paulson questioned whether this would not be a good area for a motor sales
company. This would take up a good deal of land and there would be no children
to attend school. The people could keep their prices high and get their money out
of theix investment. Mayor Kirkham saici that he knew of no ob�ection by the
'� �� �
�
REGULAR COONCIL M�ETING OF APRIL 20, 1970 PAGE 7
Council to a new car agency. The Council has been active in seeking such an �
agency. There was one contacted that was extremely interested, but their
franchise insisted that it should be east of T.H. #65. Mr. Paulson commented that
the area should not have been developed as it is, but that is hind sight. He
said that he could see no reason why this rezoning should not go through, it has
been going on for two years.
Councilman Liebl said that Councilmen Breider, Sheridan or himsel£ were not in
a posation to bring thzs Ordinance back for a revote, as they were on the losing
side and according to Roberts Rules of Order, an item has to be brought back for
reconsideration by the winning side. Mayor Kirkham added that it would take a
motion by Councilman Harris to put it on the Agenda May 4th, and he is sick toniqht.
He said that as with the Council's past policy, they should honor Councilman
Harris' wish and not discuss this tonight. The report has been received and can be
studied for the next meeting. This item will be brought back May 4th and at that
time a decision can be made.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to table this item to the Meeting of May 4, 1970.
Mrs. Marvin O'Berg asked if the slip-off assessment was still on the books, as
long as the rezoning was voted down. Mayor Kirkham said according to the City
Attorney's memorandum, yes. NLrs. O'Berg asked if the costs given to the people
were last year's costs, and would they nat be more this year� The City Engineer
said yes, they were last year's costs, and would probably be higher this year.
Mr. Ken Strand wondered why, since the rezoning was voted down, the assessment will �
go over to 2'� Street. They are not adjacent to it, and should not be included.
Councilman Liebl said that the proposal was approved on the fixst reading but
voted down on the second. The assessment had to be over that area of commercial
included in the rezoning, although it is not commercial now. He said that now the
people are threatening the Council with court action. He felt that if it went
to District Court, the Council action would be overturned. Mr. Strand said that
they are not in a commercial area now, so why should they be assessed. Mayor
Kirkham said that if it were to be rezoned, this would �ustify the assessment.
Now that the rezoning may not qo in the Council would have to reconsidex the
assessment area.
Mr. Andrew Kohlan asked Mr. Strand if it was not true that he no longer lives
there. P1r. Strand said that this was true, but he still lives in the Third
Ward and has money invested in there, and is interested in the area. Mrs.
O'Berg said that she no longer ownec� her property either, but she had 1; times
the estimate in escrow. She said that she has already paid for this assessment.
This is quite a bit of money whether she lives there or not. She would like to
have the assessment taken off so that she could use the money to better advantage,
or else go ahead and put in the improvement. Mayor Kirkham said that he could
understand her plight and that a determination will be made soon.
Mr. Muggli, of Muggli Manufacturing Company, said that there seemed to be some
confusion. He understood that there could not be assessments at this time.
Mayor F.irkham told him that they were pending assessments. Mr. Muggli said that �
they were talking about something that may never come about. Ae said that if the
Minutes were checked, they would find that the slip-of£ was talked about to serve
the new rezoned area. He asked why talk of putting in the slip-off to serve a
residential area. Mayor Kirkham said that as the rezoning failed, it was assumed
that the improvement would not be put in. The ruling was that the slip-off
resolution still stands. Mr. Muggli said that there would be no benefa.t, and
,
�
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 20, 1970
PAG� 8
M�., `�
Mayor Kirkham agreed. Councilman Lieb1 said that they could be sure that if the
Council did not reconsider the rezoning, and if thc court did not over-rule the
Council, then he did not think there would be any assessments levied if there is
no benefit. He said that the people indicated by about a 90o ma�ority their wishes
and he has tried to serve them and the community. He said that he has tried to
convince Mayor Kirkham and Couneilman Harxis that there should be a reconsideratian
of the second reading so that the project can proceed.
Councilman Sheridan called for a second to his motion.
THE MOTION was seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
Mrs. O'Berg asked i£ this is going to the courts, could not the resolution be
rescinded, at least temporarily. If it is needed later, it could be done with
the rezoning. If this goes to court, rt may take some time. Mayor Kirham said
that if the rezoning goes in, the 51ip-off will be needed. He said that Council-
man Harris and himself would like letters letting them know the peoples wishes
in this matter This would help them to make their decision. Mr. Muggli said
that Mayor Kirkham has called for letters, but does not the attendance o£ the
people mean that they are in favor of the proposal? �ust bec�use a person fails
to write a letter does not mean that he is not in favor of the rezoning. Mr.
Eldon Schmedeke pointed out that there were petrtions signed by a number of
people favoring the rezoning. The people in favor of the rezoning were asked
to stand and approximately 30 to 40 people rose. Mayor Kirkham said that he was
always concerned with the wishes of the people. He said Councilman Lieb1 men-
tioned that he received about 200 telephone calls but he pointed out that he also
receives telephone calls and letters. He commented that people do change their
minds after signing a petition and in sprte of everything, if the people sti11
want this change to please let him know. He added that he had gotten the message
from the people tonight.
CONSIDERATIQN OF REMAINING APPOINTMENTS TO COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS:
Plats and Subdivisions - Streets and Utilities Subcommittee
Councilman Sheridan said that he did not have a name to present tonight, but that
he would try to have one for the next meeting.
Human Relations Committee
Mayor Kirkham said that he would submit the name of Mrs. Domingo Ramos, 6340
Quincy Street N.E. for the vacancy of Robert Hynes, and Mrs. Ernest Slock, 71
Rice Creek Way for the vacancy of David Cook. He said that he did not have a
replacement for ponald Satterson as yet.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to concur with the appointment of Mrs. Domingo
Ramos and Mrs- Ernest Block to the Human Relations Committee. Seconded by Council-
man LiebL Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
� carra.ed.
CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF SPECIAL ASSESSNLNT AND WATER IMPROVF.M�NT
BONDS: (MR. EHLERS)
Mr. Robert Ehlers reported that there are some changes to the report that the
Counci]..has received The figure of $1,770,000 for local improvement should be
��
�i
REGULAR COUNCIL M�ETING OF APRIL 20� 1970 PAGE 9
changed to $1,330,000 and the water works improvement figure should be changed
from $325,000 to $460,000. This will change the maturaty-schedule. He said
that he would recommend that the City now try to raise their bond rating from
BAA to A. The City has been constantly improving and he felt that there would
be a good chance to get the A rating. He said that there is now a$6�0 fee charged
by Moodys Investment Service for this examination, but he felt that it would be
worth the money. In connection with this rt may be necessary for some of the
City personnel to go to New York in May. The written report may be enough to get
the A rating, but if not, a personal appearance helps a great deal. He commented
that the Finance Director has been doing a fine �ob with the internal financial
funding. He recommended that the Council authorize the sale of the $1,330,000
and the $460,000 bonds. This is not creating a new debt, �ust re-funding, and there
would be no taxes involved. He suggested June lst as the date for selling the bonds.
Councilman Sheridan agreed wrth the idea of trying foz an A rating. This would
be a definite advantage to the City. Mr. Ehlers-said that he was very proud of
the way the City of Fridley does things. There has been a lot of planning and
building and recovery work since the tornado. He hoped that they would be
successful. Councilman Sheridan said that he felt that this would be money well
spent He urged that the Council authorize the expendrture of the $600 for the new
rating and also the expenditure for City personnel and a Councilman if necessary to
go to New York to make a personal appearance. He said that this was done in 1965
and it seemed to help. Councilman Liebl said that with the increased industrial
development the City has had, he felt that the City had an excellent chance for
a higher rating. Mr. Ehlers said that if the BAA rating could be changed to an
A rating, the interest rate should go down about 2/10 to 1/4 percent.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize the expenditure of $600 for the
examination by Moody Investment 5ervice, and also the expenditure of money to
allow Fridley personnel to go to New York to assist Mr. Ehlers in trying to
obtain the higher bond rating. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
Mayor Kirkham commented that he would like to express his confidence in Mr.
Ehlers and he felt that the City was most fortunate to have a man of his experience
handling their fiscal matters.
TION #78-1970 - RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR-THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF

Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.

5460.000 WATER WORKS BONDS:
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to adopt Resolution #79-1970 and set the date of sale
for June 1, 1970. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting
aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
Mr. Ehlers said that if it should prove necessary to go to New York, it will
be very short notice and he felt that it would be essential for the Finance
Director and the City Manager to go and perhaps Mayor Kirkham also. Councilman
Sheridan said that the Finance Director and the City Manager should be on call to
go, and commented that if Mayor Kirkham should be unable to go, perhaps another
Councilman could attend.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETZNG OF APRIL 20, 1970

PAGE 10
� FIRST READING OF AN ORIl2NANCE AMENDING TE3E CITY COD� BY PROVIDING SECTION 2.05
THEREIN AND PROVIDING FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A DEPUTY CITY CLERK;
The Finance Director said that this would be mostly for signing wage assignments,
certifying Minutes and administering oaths etc. in his absence. Councilman Liebl
asked if this would take an Ordinance or would a resolution su£fice. The City
Manager said that an Ordinance would make the position continuous. It does not
name anyone to the position.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to approve the Ordinance on first reading and waive
the reading. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
RESOLUTION #80-1970 - RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF THE FINANCE
DIRECTOR AS ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER AND PRESCRIBING HIS DUTIES:
The C1ty Manager suggested that this be by Resolution rather than by Ordinance, and
to make the appointment of Marvin Brunsell by name. An Ordinance would make a
perpetual position, and future Councils may not want it done this way. Council-
man Liebl said that this was to authorize Marvin Brunsell to act in the City
Manager's absence.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to adopt Resolution #80-1970 and order it to be brought
back for ratification at the next Regular Meeting Seconded by Councilman
� Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
carried.
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO SUBMIT MODSFICATION OF FRONT ELEV'ATION OF WAREHOUS�
IN COMMERCE PARK (ON AGENDA AT REQUEST OF SACK JARRARD OF BALCO BUILDERS FOR MOGOL
CORPORATION):
�
The City Engineer reported that the petitioners wished to withdraw their request.
CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PERMIT FOR DOUBLE BUNGALOWS IN HYDE PARK:
Councilman La.ebl observed that the petitioners were here preva.ously when Hyde
Park was discussed. He said that he would appreciate it if they could wait a
few weeks until the Hyde Park issue is discussed again. He felt that it would be
irresponsible to grant a building permit if in a few years it would have to be torn
down to make way for a commercial development. Counc�.lman Sheridan commented that
as the Hyde Park discussion was laid over because of not having a full Council, this
item should be also, until something is settled in regard to Hyde Park. He said
that he could not vote in favor of granting a permit at this time.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to lay this item over to the Meeting of May 4, 1970.
The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR A RADIATOR REPAIR SI-IOP IN THE REAR OF 990 OSBORNE
ROAD (GORDON SWENSON):
Mr. Gordon Swenson said that this is on the Nagel property behind the antique
shop. The repaa.ring would be only on radiators brought in to him and he would not
be takinq them out of cars, so there would be no cars standing around. This would
be a good clean business.
�r u lJ
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 20, 1970
PAGE 11
Councilman Sheridan asked if this would be a special use permrt. The City
Engineer said that normally if this was a new building, the requirement would be
M-1 zoning In this case since it is a temporary type of business he suggested
that a temporary permit be issued to be renewable every year. In this way the
Council could revoke it or add in conditions if it proves to be unsatisfactory.
He said that he understood that Mr. Swenson is having difficulty in financing his
development. There are no Code requirements to cover this type o.f operation.
Councilman Liebl said that if it is based on yearly renewal, he would have no
ob�ection. Councilman Breider asked about the access, and if it would be off
Osborne Road. Mr. Swenson said yes, right by the antique shop. The City Engineer
then showed the property on the plat map. He said that the property has been
rezoned and when the financing is available, Mr. Swenson plans on cleaning up the
area and building a new building.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to grant the permit on the condition that it is
renewed every year. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 8� 1970.
1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #70-03, CLARENCE FOSSE: Lot 20, Auditor's Subdivision
#129. To split for residential site. Represented by Maynard Sieve of
Appolo Realty.
The City Enga.neer explained that this is a parcel 140' X 150' and the request is
to split it into two equal lots. The Planning Commission Minutes note that there
is a variance needed also because the house would be only 7� feet from the new
lot split line. He said that also the Council should be aware that this is old
platted property on 73rd Avenue east of Central Avenue, and the frontage would be
70' rather than 75' creating two parcels 70' X 150'. This would meet the area
requirement. Planning Commission recommends granting approval of the lot split
and granting the variance so the house would not be more than 7� feet from the
new lot split line.
A Representative of the applicant in the audience said that the owner has reason
to believe that the house may be about 9' or 10' from the new property line rather
than the 7'� feet stipulated. The survey is not completed yet.
The City Engineer said that the zoning is R-1 and the property behind this
property has access on the west side. Councilman Sheridan asked how much access
and the City Engineer answered about 60 feet.
Councilman Liebl questioned if this variance should be acted on by the Council at
this time or should it go back to the Board of Appeals. The City Attorney
replied that he had talked to the Engineering Assistant about this. He pointed
out that the Chairman of the Board of Appeals is a member of the Planning Commission.
He felt that it could be handled either way, unless there is some problem peculiar
to the case, In this instance rt is a simple variance and the questa.on becomes
redundant. Councilman Liebl pointed out that the motion for approval by the
Planning Commission carried unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to concur with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and grant a lot split to NLr. Clarence Fosse, and a variance to allow the
house to be a minimum of 7i' from the new property line. Seconded by Councilman
Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
carried.

5, Auditor's 5ubdivision #153 (split off parcel at southwest corner - 185'
X 225')
The City Engineer explained that the Planning Commission recommended approval of
this lot split for property located on 52nd Avenue and T.H. #65. This is across
from Robert Halls, and they are going to try to follow the architecture of Howard
Johnson's. It is goi�ng to be a brick building_ It will front on T.x. #65 but
access will be from 52nd Avenue.

CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR A TEMPORARY HOOKUP TO FRIDLEY S�WER SYSTEM ON STINSON
BOULEVARD BY NEW SRIGHTON RESIDENT. MR. J.D. EIENNUM:
Mayor Kirkham suggested that thzs item be taken up as the gentleman was warting
in the audience.
It was decided after a lengthy da.scussion on the method to use in charging a New
Brighton resident Eor temporarily hooking onto the Fridley sewer system, to charge
Mr. Hennum an initial $200 flat fee which will include the first years fee, and
$100 per year thereafter on the first of the year until either the amount
equivalent to the normal assessment is paid or he connects up to the New Brighton
line Mr. Hennum felt that he could hook onto the New Brighton line within two
or three years. In this way, if he connected to New Brighton after two years, he
would have paid Fxidley $300.
MOTIDN by Councilman Liebl to grant permission to Mr. Jack D. Hennum, a New Brighton
resident, to hook up to the Fridley sewer system on a temporary basis, the charge
to be $200 initially, and $100 every year thereafter due on the first of the year,
, until he eitfier pays an amount equivalent to the normal assessment or disconnects
from the Fridley system, plus the normal user charges. Seconded by Councilman
Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ka.rkham declared the motion

REGULAR CGUI�7CIL MEETING OF APkIL 20, 1970
PAGE 13
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COE4i�SSSION MEETING OF MARCH
11, 1970:
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the Minutes of the Fridley Industrial
Development Commission MeeY.ing of March 11, 1970.
Councilman Breider questioned Article 5 pertaining to appointments an relata.on to
Article 8 stating that the duration of the commission shall be perpetual subject
to the City Council. He felt that the Council should have the sight to make
appointments when necessary throughout the year. Mayor Kzrkham said that he
thought so also. Councilman Breider further questioned Axticle 4 and said that he
was not in favor of the last phrase having to do with pexsonal financial gain. Ae
felt that there could be no question of public funds bea.nq used if there was
financial gain. Councilman Liebl said that perhaps the City Attorney should put
the by-laws in proper legal language. Mayox Kirkham asked for a review by the City
Attorney and after his review it a.s to be brought back. Councilman Breider pointed
out Article 6, having to do with funding and said that they shauld submit a
budqet. Mayor Kirkham commented that when the Commission was started it was not
known �ust how much money they would really need. Now they should know how much
they need to submrt in a budget. The Crty Manager said that he sends out a
memorandum to a11 departments and commissions askinq them to submit their budget
by a certain date. Mayor Kirkham said that the City Attorney will review the by-
laws, and Councilman Breider said that he would not want the Commissa.on to get into
any legal difficulty. It was agreed that after the by-laws are amended by the
City Attorney they are to be forwarded to the Industrial Development Commission.
THE MOTION was seconded by Councilman Breider and upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
AWARDING CONTRACT FOR WATER PROJECT #95, SCHEDULE B: (Bids received April 13, 1970)
NOTE: Bids listed in Minutes of April 13, 1970.
The City Engineer explained that this is for the pumping facility for four wells.
The estimated cost was $337,000 and the low bid came in at $454,203.00 by Berglund
Johnson, Inc., including the park building. If the park addition is deleted the
low bidder would be Peterson-Templin, Inc. The difference for the park addition is
about $14,000 for a 21' X 42' addition. He then showed the plans on the easel.
Councilman Sheridan said that the estimate for the park addition was for about
$20,000. Originally he said that he was not in favor of the park addrtion, but
for $14,000 it would seem worth the money. The City Engineer said that there
would be toilet facilities, office and storage facilities. Councilman Sheridan
asked what was the cost per square foot and the Crty Engineer said about $15.00
per square foot.
MOTIOm by Councilman Sheridan to award Water Pro7ect #95, Schedule E to Serglund -
Johnson, Inc. in the amount of $454,203.00. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayar Kirkham declared the motion carried.

MOTION by Councilmar Sheridan to approve the registered land survey requested
by George Walqu�st. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED DENTAL CLINIC. (GEORGE WALQUIST):
The City Engineer said that he had advised Mr. Walquist that the normal procedure
would be to go to the Board of Appeals for the variance and the Planning Commission
for the lot split, but Mr. Walquist insisted on going to the Council first. The
City Manager added that this is the item which Mr. Oliver Erickson, Chairman of
the Planning Commission, wrote to the Council about. Councilman Sheridan said that
it seemed to be a problem of square footage on property previously platted. The
City Engineer said that when reviewing the Zoning Ordinance the Council wanted to
establish minimvm size when discussing the Hyde Park area. He would need a
variance and the lot split. He wants to split a lot into two commercial lots.
Councilman Liebl said that he would have to go before the Building Standards -
Design Control Svbcommittee also with his plans. The City Engineer said yes, he
did not feel that there would be too much time wasted in going to the Board of
Appeals and the Planning Commission. At the same time he could process the building
plans through the Building Standards - Design Control Subcommittee.
� Mayor Kirkham asked the City Engineer to indicate to the applicant that the Council
can see no objections, but that they would pre£er that the normal policy be
followed.
RESOLUTION #81-197D - RESOLUTION ORDERING PRELIMINARY PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND
ESTIMATES OF THE COSTS THEREOF. STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1970-4, ADDENDUM #1.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to adopt Resolution �r81-1970. Seconded by Councilman
Sheridan.
The City Engineer explained that this resolution covers the Onaway Addrtion area.
They are scheduled for a.mprovement next year, Uut water and sewer is now being
installed in this area. There is a problem that when the water and sewer is done,
the streets will need a good base for the trucks to drive on. It is very sandy
in this area. It is his suggestion that a public hearing be held and if affirmative,
that the curbing, base and mat be put on, and leave the final mat until the storm
sewer problem is solved. It might be two years before the storm sewer is installed
He recommended with the prices going up so fast, that it be done this year.
Councilman Breider asked how long it would be�before the plans are completed for
the storm sewer. The City Engineer said fhat the preliminary plans are completed
now, it is the problem of Spring Lake Park agreeing to participate. 'Phe plan
approved by the Fridley Council is for a pipe from University Avenue to the rail-
road tracks, and from there to the river it would be open ditch. Spring Lake
Park wants all open da.tch. The decision is between the Fridley Council and the
� Spring Lake Council. The cost was estzmated in 1968 to be about $80,000 to clean
the ditch and put bigger culvert under the railroad tracks and about $250,000 to
pipe the water all the way from University to the railroad tracks. Fridley wants
a£ull pipe system and Spring Lake Park wants a full ditch system. The sanitary
sewer system has been designed on the basis of a pipe system as previously approved
by the City Council.

REGULAR COUNCIL ME�TING OF APRIL 20� 1970
PAGE 15
Councilman Sheridan said that Fridley wants a complete system. Everything within �
the City could be piped and outside Fridley could be ditched. Councilman Breider
asked how to get this pro7ect moving. The Firdley Council met with the Spring
Lake Park Council and they would like to stall for 10 years. If Fridley wants to
develop this area there must be storm sewers. The City Engineer said that the
problem is that Spring Lake Park would have to pay about 45% of the pro�ect.
The City Attorney said that after the meeting between the Spring Lake Park Attorney
and the Fridley Attorney, he thought that the only way to get any action would be
to start court action. Councilman Sheridan said that if such action is started,
it should also include the Highway Department.
THE VOTE upon the motion, being a voice vote, all voting aye, MayQr Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to instruct the City Attorney to inform the Council
at the May 4th Meeting on his recommendation on the course of action to take wa.th

Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried.
