REGULAR COUNCIL b�E1'ING OF AUGUST 17, 1970 PAGE 4
publish. Councilman Harris said that he would like to have their comments
before the public hearing is set. The City Engineer said that normally this is
the way it is done, but in this instance, they are in a hurry. The general
reaction of the people has been more favorable than with the previous request for
a development on this land. Councilman Liebl said that the set of minutes for
the Planning Commission Meeting coming up next Wednesday would be in to the
Council Uefore the public heaxing meeting. Their comments and those o£ the
audience are covered in the minutes. The City Engineer said that the
Planning Commission did not take action because there were only three members
present, Councilman Harris said that he did not think it was correct to
pre�udge what the Planning Commission is going to recommend. Councilman
Breider said that if not favorable, the actzon would be to not publish the
notice
Councilman Sheridan said that he had met with a group of people and Mr. Van
Eeckhout the first part of the year The original proposal was not too well
received, but the ma�ority of the people seem to favor the proposal as it now
stands The point that was ob�ected to on the previous proposal was that the
R-3 butted up against the R-1. In their new proposal it does not,
Councilman Harris said that this is a large tract of land and would involve
a great deal o£ money, so perhaps some consideration should be given to having
a�oint meeting with the Planning Commission before the public hearing. This
is a 120 acre tract of land.
Councilman Liebl said that he thought that there were two main questions that
needed answering, the traf£ic and the utilities. Councilman Breider said that
he had a criticlsm of the Coune�l. He went with the members of the Planning
Commission and viewed an example of a Viewcon pro�ect. He did not think that
they would be able to accomplish anything unless the developer was there at
the meeting also. 4Vhen he viszted the Viewcon pro�ect, the representatives had
all the maps and information readily available, and was willing to discuss the
pro�ect, but none of the other Council members showed up. He said that there
was a month before the public hearing date, and he could see no reason for
stalling off the public hearing for another month.
MOTIpN by Councilman Harris to set up a�oint meeting with the Planning
Commission and the developer After discussion of the problems, utilities,
traffic, etc. the Council would have some answers for the public hearing.
THE MOTION FAILED for lack of a second.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to set the Public Hearing date for September 14,
1970 if the Planning Commission recommendations are favorable, if not, do not
publish the notice. The Administration is directed to try to set up a meeting

and Liebl voLing aye, Harris voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion

Minneapolis and St. Paul are color coding their signs so that the north and south
street signs are green and the east and west ones are brown He said that there
is a$3 differential between the 6" and the 9" sign Councilman Liebl asked if
there would be sufficient money in the budget to try the program on Mississippi
Street, and the City Hngineer sazd yes. He explained that they would not be
destroying signs, but they would be used on interior streets Previous to
the last three years the City has used 3" letters on a 4" sign, but standards
were changed in 1968 and now the 6" sign has Ueen used, with 4" letters. Lvery
time a new street sign zs needed, the new standard is used They are changed
as needed There would be 10 or 12 signs needed for Mississippi Street and it
would not involve a great deal of money. The Planning Commission felt that they
would like to see one street completed on a trial basis.
Councilman Breider asked if the City would get a discount if the buying is done
in quantity The City Manager said that in most cases if a product is bought
' in quantity, the cost is less. The Finance Director added that these would be
purchased thsough Hennepin County

left green, but suggested another color be used for the east-west streets The

If Fridley were to order a different color there may be a larger cost differen-
tial. The paint used is a special reflectorized paint.

County is asking Fridley to pay $6,066. Councilman Shertdan said that i£,one
life is saved it would be well worth the money
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to sign
the agreement with Anoka County Seconded by Councilman Harris.
Councilman Breider asked i£ the $32,820 is part of the total of $547,OD0 or is
that over and above. The City Engineer said that it was part of the cost
I-Ie said that there could not be a full commitment until everything is xesolved.
The Federal Government should be paying 'z of the cost of the East River Road
improvement and the City of Fridley and the County would share the other 'Z.
Councilman Breider asked if the $6,066 was a firm figure The City Engineer
said that they could come back later for more. As the construction costs
increase, so would Fridley's amotmt Councilman Sheridan asked i£ the fee
schedule would stand �ven �f the pr��ect is not ordered in, but it would not
be more? The City Attorney said that it could be more when the final estimate
is in.

about be doubled and the City share would go to $12,000 rather than the $6,066
Councilman Breidex questioned where the money would be coming from. The
Finance Director said that there would be an assessment as for a normal resi-
dential street and the remainder would 6e made up from the revolving state
aid fund The City Attorney said that he thought that there would be a 50-SO
chance that Fridley would not be agreeing to pay more than the $6,066. At
the worst, there may be added on another $3,000.
Councilman Liebl said that the Council must have foresight, and there must
be something done with East River Road. There is now a new establishment, La
Maur, besides the apartment houses and the existing industrial development.

Council may place on him. He wants to continue doing business in Fridley and is
interested in building up an adequate ser�ice. Mx. Kahles added that he would
supply any insurance that the Gouncil would £eel is necessary. Mr Schermer
