CATV REFERENDLTM:
Mayor Liebl said that the Council has asked for the advice of the City Attorney
on determining the validity of the referendum petition, and whether it is
legally sufficieni to require a referendum.
The Acting City Attorney, James Gibbs, referred to the memorandum from Virgil
Herrick, City Attorney, c�ated Februar_y 4, 1972 and al.so the repor� by himself
on the number of petitions Mr. Bar�on has checked. His figures show that he
questioned the signatures on 25 petitions. The signatures on those petitions
to_al 1,092. Mr. Barton checked approximately 100 signatures. As the City
Attorney points out in his memo the Councii has three alternatives. One,
re�eal the ordinance; two, reaffirm tP�e ordinance and s�et a date for the
zeferendum; or three, they may £ind that th� petition is invalid because of
eith.er false vexifications or mi.srepxesenta�ion given in acquiring the sig-
natures. In the City Attorney`s opinion, this is a legislative matter, not
a legal matter, and must be clecic�� d by the elected members of the Council.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the memorandum from the City Attorney
dated February 4, 1972 and the report by the hand u;riting expert, Mr. Duane
L. Barton dated January 26, 1972. Seconded by Council��an Mittelstadt, Upon
a voice vote, a11 ayes, riayor Liebl deciared the motic�n carried unanimously.
Mr. Ole Bjerkesett, 100 N.E. 63� Way, said that previously irregularities
in witnessing -the sigizatures were brought to the attention of the Council, with
the request that they take accion to ascertain the signatures and the integrity
of thQSe taking the petitions. By a unanimous vote of the Council the matter
was referred to the Ct�y Attorney with instructions to take such steps as
necessary to asce��tai.n whether or noi they were valid signatures. He said he
had not had an opportunity to go over the report by 2�2r. Barton, but a pr.e-
liminary exa�:ninaiian has caused hirl to believe they wexe ��orse than he had
thou.ght. At the mee�Ling of Jantzary 20th he had stated that he had found 4- 5
signatures �hat t��ere not properly witnessed and tne hand writing analyst has

found more. The doubt in the minds af the people that qu�stioned it has been
sustained. On the affidavit that accompanies the petitions it says "we the
undersigned'having read the ordinance and determining.it t,•� be detrimental
-co the welfare of fihe City of Fridley do pet?tion �he City of Fridley far a
referendum", but he has talked to an excess of 100 people and he has yet to
meet someone tnat can explain to him how this would be detrimental. If they
seek to upset the action taken by their duly elected body, then they must be
prepared to sustain their claim. He felt the people were not informed that the
Council spent about 6 months on this ordinance, and the City Attorney spent
a lot of time in developing the ordinance. People also do not know that many
communities having CATV were contacted to see what their ordinances contained.
Tnere is also the fact that General Television Inc. will pay Fridley $25,OQ0
as an acceptance fee, they will build a million dollar studio and also that the
City is guaranteed 5a of gross receipts, or $2500, whichever is greater. This
is all at no expense to the tax payer. What teere these people told? He said
he understood that Councilman Utter was c�loted as saying that he circulated
a petition, and asked if he knew what these people were told. Councilman
Utter said his wi.fe circulated a petition, he did not, but he went along in
a few cases. Mr. Bjerkese�tt suggested that Councilman Utter contac-t the Sun
and ask for a retxaction. A11 these -things add up to a fraudulant situation
and the Council would be within their rights to reject this petition.
Mr. George Reilly, Attorney fox the petitionR�rs, sazd that he understood Mr.
Bjerkeset-� had a copy of the Barton report. The petitioners were not furnished
with a copy, and this would seem to be an inequity. Mayor Liebl said that it
is public record and they could get one by asking. Mr. Reilly said that the
minutes of January 10th were amended to add`the word "exclusive" in front of
the word "franchise". He asked Mrs. Helen Treuenfels i£ she did not have tapes
of the meetingsr and alsa asked Mayax Liebl ii the �apes of the lOth and 17th
of January meetings were not preserved, and Mayor Liebl replied yes. Mr.
Reilly said that we have heard it said that the majority shoul.d not be �ictated
to by the minority, but the concern shoulcl be what the people were told when
the petition was circula-ted. However, �.his is not the purpose of a referendum
peti.tion, and it shouZd not be deiermined at this point iahat is good and what
is bad about the ordinance. The people have only es�a.blished by their petition,
as set out in the City Charter, that 150 of the people are uncertain about the
orclinance, and they should have the privilege o£ petitioning to let this issue
go to a general election. This does r�t necessarily,mean that the orclinance
would be repea�ed, it only says that a signifiganfi'nunlner of people may be
unsure about the ordinance. Is thexe really any good reason not to let the
people vote? He suggested that he believed that the courts would look at
this and ask the question, was the Council tryi.zg to follow the City Charter?
He said he has qotten the impression that a claim will be macie that because
certain names are not good, all the names on that particular petition should
be thrown out. I� there are 1�0 good names and 10 bad, does that mean the
other 90 names are bad and should be thrown out? The courts have ruled just
the opposite, and quoted from an Iowa Supreme Court ruling, and added that the
Minnesota Supreme Court has spoken in general terms to the same effect, that
a Ch�rter "shauld be upheld if there i_s any way to do so". You must detern�ine
the fre.s ��ill of the people. Iie said�an election judge takes an o�th, and if
there is a case wher.e there is a slight irregularity in ar, election, and one or
two names are in er.ror, and an electzon judge certifies them, the whole election
is not thrown o�zt. The Council has been made aware that the ordinance may be

otherwise defective. It would be foolish to go through a lot of court costs,
then find that the ordinance is, in fact, de�ective.
Mr. Reilly continued that this ordinance grants no franchise by its terms and
i� appears to be only a general enabling ordinance which says the City can grant
a franchise. Nowhere does it say a franchise is granted to General Television
o£ Minnesota, Inc. Some may say this is a tech�iical defec�, but the only other
franchise granted by Fridley to Minneapolis Gas Company does so specifically
within the ordinance. The claim could be made of an intent �o grant a franchise
and the title does speak of granting a franchise to General Television of
Minneso�a inc., and they have signed and accepted it, hawever, mos.t attorneys
will tell you while the title of an aat can be used to assist in construing
something otherwise ambiguous, then the title can be used to give it meaning,
but the f.itle of an act cannot be used to supply what is not there. This
ordinance is a franchise to grant to anybody. He said he would strongly
suggest that the Council accept the petition and set a date for the referendum,
as I5% of the people in the City o� Fridley have asked.
Mx. Jim Gibson said that this is the third time he has appeared befoxe the
Council on this issue, and he must reiterate his sta�ements rr�ade previously.
If the Council were to take the action Mr. Reilly has suqgested, the Council
could be brought into District Court for malfeasance, misfeasance and non-
feasance af their office. He said we, as residents, have gotten into a squabble
brought about by outside interests. �hese people have been misled. There have
been other such cases in the past, such as Unity Hospi.tal. When the proposal
to build Unity Hospital was before you, tl-zere were outside interests trying
to tear the community apart, and some were, very vehement about the issue and •
they said it was senseless - yet where are these people today? They are sitting
on the Hospital Board.. Anothex example of such folly is the Metropolitan Sewer '
Board. They seem to think we already have clean water out here, yet he has in
his possession pictures taken in 1958 - 1959 of raw sewage. Tn 1965 we had th�
tornado and th� people of the comraunity gat their heads together and worked for
the community. The p�liticians in the P�ietro area did nat want anything to da
with us. Then along came Urban P,enewal and same of the qood citizens voted it
down. Now the issue is cabl.e television. A governmental structure is built
through ordinances. He likened it to a buil.der ��rhn builds a house and finds
that one 2 X 4 is bad. He does not tear down the whole house, he replaces
the defective part. The same can be dane with the GATV ordinance. If after
a feve years, it becomes apparent there are some defective parts, they can be
rearranged so it is right and proper. He said it is�time we called a spade a
space and pointed out thal:Nlr. Reilly is oiz the payroll of Hubbard Broadcasting
Inc., or at least very friendly with them. If Hubbard Broadcasting Inc. wants
to bring suit against the City of Fridley, let's have it. As to the issue
before the Council, he could see only one way they could go and that is for five
ayes for denial of the petition, because of the improprieties that have been
broughi before the Council. Here we have neighbor fighting neighbor and friend
fighting friend, and he did not want to see Cour�cilman fighting Councilman. He
said he would hate to see this go into court, he would much rather see everyone
sit down around a table and talk things out and arrive a� a solution. All
would come out as better citizens.

REGUZAR COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1972 PAGE 5
Mrs. Helen Treuenfels said that she was one of the sponsors, lives in Fridley
and has for a Iong time, and is not an ou�sidex by any means. Mr. Gibson has
claimed that it is.the Hubbard Broadcasting Company, Inc. that is fighting
Fridley, but this is not true, it is the eight sponsors of the petition. Suit
was filed to force a referendum as there were more than enough valid and authentic
signatuxes according to the hand writing analyst. She said she finds the claims
of fraud on the circulation of the petition ver� objectionable. 5he men-�ioned
some of the,circulators that Yave not taken invalid signatuxes and there was no
fraud. In each case either the husband and wife signed f_ize petition, or the
signature was authorized by the spouse. 5he said she finds the charges of
�orgery absolutely ridiculous.
Mrs. Herm.an Bakke said she has been a resident of Fridley for quite a few years,
and she would agree with Mr. Gibson's comments that some of the people may have
been misled, b�at by whom? 5he did not believe it was by the petitioners,
because she was one of them. She said she could bring in people that she had
sign the petition, and they would swear ihere has been no fraud. She said Mr.
Gzbson brought up the Metropolitan Sewex Bczard and the building analogy, so she
would like to ask what Fridley is doing about the wa�er problem on Riverview
Terrace. This has been brought up at a previous Council Meeting. The water
main has broken three times in the last three years. She could not see where
tha-t would be too difficul-t to fix. She said to Mr. IIjerkese�t, as to the Z00
people he had talked to, if there was any problem, let them come in and tell the
Council about it. So far it is his word agaznst hers. As to the fact that.
General Television of Minnesota, Inc. is to pay $25,000 as an acceptance fee;
where does that money come from? Wi].l the money to pay the hand writing expert
come from that money? W�.]_1 it pay the City Attoxney for his time taken in •
going into court? You canno-t say tha-t $25,000 is actually Fridley's money yet
because of the petition, and nothing is settled.
The City Manager read fxom Section 8 of the ordinance eoncerning the acceptance
fee, and said he has not received a ruZing yet from the City Attoxney, but in his
opinion, all admin:strative expenses incurred because of the referendum could
be an expense charged against that fund, the same as the preparation of the
ordinance. Mrs. Bakke asked what if this went to a vote and General Te].evision
of Minnesota Inc. was turned down, wouldn't Fridley have to return the money?
The City Marsager said he did not know.
Mrs. Bakke said that the Council has put a lot of time and effort in-to the
research of cable television. The biggest problem seems to be that the Council
did not inform the voters and othex interested factions about CATV so they could
learn about it. She said a lot of her friends are not aware of what has trans-
pired on the Council. The Council shou].d take these people into consid.eration.
Mayor Liebl asked Mrs. Bakke if she was one of �he circulators of a petition and
Mrs. Bakke replied yes. Mayor Liebl read from tl:e affidavit and asked her. to
explain to him just what was detrimenial about cable television. Mrs. Bakke
replied she believed this was something the Gouncil should answer the voters.
Mr. Richarc7 Harris asked if this is, or is not, a legal ordinance granting a
franchise. The Acting City Attorney replied that they were of' the opinion the
oxdinance woul�3 s�and. Mr. Fiar�is said that FJith all the hours of study, it
seemed peculiar th�t nobo��y'came up with the question in granting the franchise,
so he would wonder about the competency of i.hose people who studied it.
REGULFIR COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1972 PAGE 6
Mr. Bjerkesett said that Mrs. Bakke had chal2enged his statemenfi that he had
talked to about 100 people to try to find out what was detrimental about the
ordinance, it seemed to him that the last few speakers have sustained his
oninion. � _ _.
Mrs. Connie Metcalf, 860 West Nioore Lake brive, said that Fridley has a Ci�.y
Charter and is the basis for government. That Charter allows 15% of the
registered voters to ask for a re�er�ndum, therefore, is it ethical, even
legal, to deny having a referendum? This is all the people are asking and they
fall within the law. As a minority, they have the right to ask for a referendum.
Mrs. Carolyn Rouse, 210 Rice Creek Boulevard, said she did sign the petitian,
she was not misled and she knew what she was signing, and she would Iike the
people of Fridley to hav e the chance to determine if they want CATV.
Mr. Reilly said that he had briefiy examined the report from Mr. Barton and
wondered what action Vaas taken after -the report was submitted. Were the people
called? �The Acting City Atto"rney said there was some spot checking done, such as
where it appeared bo-th �t�Yie husbana's and wife's signature was signed by the same
person, in some instances ihe husband had not been home. He said not every
signature was checked. For ins-�ance, on PetitiUn #32 there was a signature
Mr. Barton questioned, it did not seem to compare with the voter registration
card. That party was called and she said she had, in fa.ct, signed. The same
thing happened on Petition #61. That person was called and he sta-�ed that it
may not compare, but he had signed. Mr. Reilly asked hoe� many people were
called. The Acting Czty Attorney xe�lied approximately 20. Mr. Reilly asked
how many said they did not sign. The Acting City Attorney sazd the repl.ies
were about half and half.
Mr. Henry Peterson, 6312 Pierce St. N.E., said that he had been a resident of
Fridley for about 15 years. He said �re elect the City Council and they have
spent about six months on CA'1'V. He asked if Counciltnan Breide.r did not vote in
favor o� it each time. Councilman Breider said that was correct. Mr. Peterson
said that if his neignbor hants CATV, that zs up to him, and each-person has a
free choice whe-ther to connect or not. -He said he has a gas line, bu�L his
neighbor burns oil. Each person has to respect the preferences of the other,
but if he was foxced to connect onto a gas line, he certainly would petition
himself. This is not the case here, the ordinance leaves the choice up to the
people. This ordinance �s passed will bring in tax money and an individual does
not have to connect. The Council w�s elected to represent the people and the
voters made �their choice. If there were to be a referendum on every issue, tha�
would cost a lot of money, yet people are always talking about cutting taxes
down. We have one of the loF�er mill rates here in Fridley. He said he was
annoyed �=ith Councilman Breider, he seems to have a big play in this. Fridley
is big enough to haridle its own problems without KSTP, .
Councilman Breider said that he believed Mr. Peterson is very interested in
democracy, and his comments last week were in that vein. The Council is sworn to
uphold the Charter and h�.s comm�nts were directed to that issue, not whe�her
Fridiey should have cab1� teZevisior, or nat. It is his duty to live up to that
Charter �nd if 150 of the �qistered voters U�ant a referendum, then he is re-
c�uired to give it to them. It seemed to him these are two distinct issues. On
� REGULAR CGUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1972

' the one hand you have the Charter requirements, that is one question, and on
the other you have the determination on whether cable television is good or
bad for Fridley. On that issue he has made it known by his vote. These two
que:�tions have to be separated and discussed on eaeh of their mexits. Mr.
, Petc�rson commented, why should he have to pay for a referendum, he is in favor
of CATV?
' • Dr. Nick Koropchak, 7144 Riverview Terrace, said that anyone can change their
min�3s about CATV. In the past Councilman Nlittelstadt has said that he thought
that the ordinance was hastily drawn and has also said he would vote for a
' referendum. It is h.onorable to change your mind. Dr. Koropchak said he was
in favor of CATV, but it has to be well regulated, and this is a good ordinance
as far as it qoes, but there is very little in the ordinance regarding programming.
He said, lets go on from where we are now, there will then be a good CATV
' ard.inance, and t� dollars both.
Mr. Dick Kemper, 6736 "lth Street N.E., said that he has listened to Mr. Gibson's
, rentarks indicating that if ihe Counci]. accepted these petitions, they would be
guilty of wrong doings. Tn �he memorandum from the Ciiy Attarney he has in-
dic;ated �fhat it is a legislative decision, not a legal one. According to the
' merlo, the Council could accegt the petitions and they would not be guilty of
any wrong doing. The Acting City Attorney said that the City Atto2"ney never
mac3e such a s�atement. �

Councilman Ke.lshaw said-that it is always good to hear the constituents speak
out, he only wished -th�y would have spoken sooner. The remark has been heard
over and over that the people were no-t informed about cable. The 5un news-
papers carried many articles about cable t,elevision and he announced tha� he
would meet with the peopZe in his ward on a:Sunday afternoon to try to ar.swer
any of their questions. He had copies of tYie FCC regulations and copies of the
oxdinance with him for the meeting. He said he was willinq then, and he is
willing now, ta qa over the ordinance, and he is not opposed to spending time to
infonn the people. He said he has tried to become as informed as possible for a
layman. He spent an entire day at St. Cloud �rith a representative from the
Library Board and the Schoo� Board in going over their cable television system
and asking all types of questions. They then had a chance to go back to their
groups and inform them. He said he did not believe he was in erxor, he did try
to inform the citizens. Dr. Koropchak has said, lets go on with the ordinance
from here, and he would be in agreement with that. Mr. Reilly has questioned
whether this ordinance does grant a franchise. Councilman.Kelshaw sai_d that
Ordinance #496 was published in the legaZ ne�aspapez and read the title wltich does
grant a f.ranchise. What other language could have been used? It would certainly
seem to him that "An Ordinanee Granting A Fr.anchise ta General Television of
Minnesota Incorporated ---" would mean just i:hat. As to the fears �hat he has
heard expressed that the company may go defunct, or that �the company could turn
around and seil the franchise at some fantastic price, Section 9 D specifies
"original company" and further that it cannot be transferred in any way without
prior Council consent. Dr. Koropchak said that he thought thzs ordinance should
be voted down, then used as a basis to cen�truct a new one. Councilman Kelshaw
said that he has not heard comments that people are against CATV, fihe whole
question seems to be the ordinance. He pointed out that the Council has re-
served the right to amnnd the ordinar�ce at any time it seems necessary and the
compa.r�y must concur ��;ith it.• The ordinance was amended agGin on ser_ond reading
December 13, 1971, by adding the clause for a reduction in rates for the senior
citi.zens and General Television could ei�t�er accept it, or pu11 out. The
m
' REGt3I.1iR COUNCIL MEE:TING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1972 _ PAGE 8
' '�;•people also had the right to come before the Council with any suggestions for �-
amer�dments. It zs true as Councilman Brieder stated, the Council is elected
and sworn to uphold the Charter and he is not going to do anything different,
' but when a petitiori is presented to him by the Ci-ty Clerk and discrepancies are
pointed out an tha t petition, he cannot just go ahead'and accept that peititon
until first clearing up thzt discrepancy. He said he felt the Council acted
' , a in a reasonable way and acted unanimously to dir.ect the City Attorney to take
the steps necessary, _
� MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw that, after receiving the report fxom the City
Attorney and--�rom Mr. Barton stating there were 25 petitions in error
tot�ng��-�9�names, further tha�t the 90 names from Petition #15 and #16 -
be. i ounted, givinq a total o�" 1002�names, he could do nothing else than dis-
, _...�
�alify these petitions, adding tl�e camment that he felt the Council was acting
reasonably. He would also like to move that the discussions be opened up fox
m.ore public hearings and that a committee be formed of people £rom various
' interested groups for the purpose af developing what they would like to be in-
cluded in the ordinance. Seconded by Councilman Mittel.stadt.

�
Councilman Kelshaw said he could not in clear conscience accept the peiition
based on the report by the City Attorney and the hand writing expert, but he
will not disregard the wishes to go ahead and have additional input into the
ordinance. He sa�_d he would be willing to meet with this committee and go over
what they think is needed and wYzat they feel is detriznental to the City. He
said he could not see spending any more of the i:ax payers money by going in�o
a referendzun at this point when it is the ordinance they are opposed to.
Mr. John Mickman, 1631 66� Ave.,said that it seems that about one half of the
assumptions of the hand writing analyst have been incorrect, yet about 1000
people are being disqualified withont even b�ing asked. �
Mr. Reilly said he wanted this point cleared up. He askedtCouncilman Kelshaw
if the reason far his motion was that some names may be in�error based on the
Barton repart, and that he was discounting a whole petition on the basis of a
few inaccurate names.
' Councilman Kelsh�.w said that it is not only the repor-t f�om the City Atiorney
and the hand writing expert, and not only the signat�.ares but also the fact there
was some misrepresentation as stated in the report and also stated by in-
' dividuals who signed the peta_tion that there was misr�pxesentation. He added
that the CounciZ has every opportunity to amend the ordinance, and that he
thought that was what the people wanted. It can be changed at any time. Mr.
Rei11y asked Cauncil.man Kelshaw if his point was that so.n� part�icular sig-
' natures F;ere not "those purpozted to be". Counciln�ar� Kelshaw said that he mast
go along with the affidavit s:vorn to on the petitions, including the withdrawal
petitions. The circulator is required to sign the affidavit and swear that
� each signature was witnessed by them. He has not found such to be the case and
therefore, could not accept the petitions. He said if someone wants to take him
to court, fine, but he did not Y.now how much mor.e he can do to prave to the
' people that he warits their. best interests accompli�•hed. He said he felt tYta-�
th�re was still � question not ansEaered; that �f;as, what is d�-tri.riental? PQr.
� Reilly asked again was his reason fcr the motion that same nar,es may be in-
accurate and tr�e affidavit sfvorn to? Councilma_n Kelshaw said h� would reply to
, that later. Mr. Fe.illy then asked Councilraan riittelstadt �f tkiis was the reason
for his second to the motion, aizd Council.man Mittel.stadt replied yes.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1972 PAGE 9
Mrs. Barbara Karopchak said that she wanted to state that she has never been
contacted by anyone from the Administration, Council, or the Ci�:y Attorney as
to the validity of her petitions. She said she did not know that a spouse
could not sign for the other, and no one has �cked her why she did this. As a
matter of fact, this is the first time she has offi.ciaZly been told this was
not proper. She said she would like the pQople who signed in good faith.to
have a chance to aefend their signatures, and not have them thrown out. Dr.
Koropchak added to Councilman Kelshaw tnat it is naive to think the Company
would allow the City to make amendments to the ordinance without kicking up_a
fuss. He commented, who is the better representative of the peopie, the man
who defends the people and is sued by the Company, or the man who defends the
Company and is sued by the people?
Mayor Liebl said he resented these comments, and that he has studied very hard
and he voted for cable television in the best interests of the City, Dr.
Koropchak said that he was not attacking him personally, and did not say it was
a bad ordinance, only incomplete.
Mayor Liebl said that hA was goinq to vote not to accept the �eferendum
petition. He believed the petition procedure whereby the Charter grants great
po�oer to a small group of people must be kept free fxom irregularities, and if
not, a dangerous precident woul.d be set. He said he representecl all the peopae
of Fr.idley and �vould submit his vote accorclinaly. He said these petitions have
far too many irregularities to be acceptable to the Couneil. There were over
66 petitions submit-ted to the City and apparently 28 contained s9.gn�ficant
irregularities. On these 28 petitions the circulator has signed an affidavit
saying he/she witnessed the signature of t'hat person purported to be. This means
that nearly � of the petitions circulated were not honest in the signing of �
the affidavit. He said he must uphold the law and he could not accept petitions
which treat the Charter so careless3y. He said his cancern witn the petitions is
compounded by the misrepresentation surrounding the ordinance, and aI1 this taken
together with the nearly 20Q withdrawa�s, means to hzm that thzs Council cannot
accept these petitions. The Minnesota Supreme Court rulzng has established a
duty to be abided by by a City Council and he must follow it. He said he knew
his vote will not please every citizen, but he must vo-te -t� protect the rights
of the people to guarantee a fair anc� honest pe�.ition procedure in the City of
Fridley.
Councilman Breider said, in reterring to the report �rom tYie City Attorney, that
in his opinion the courts ��ould be reluctant to disqualify a petition because of
a few bad signatures. Counci_lman Breider said he did not believe that would be
a legal right, and his interpretation of the memo would be that the Council
should accept the petit�on, and that the petitioners snould be given the benefit
of the doubt. As to improving the ordinance, he felt tiiai it was an excellent
ordinance and there were many points in favor of the ordinance as written. He
said he caould certainZy object to metropolitan control of cable televisian.
The suburbs already have a problem with the sewer situation with the Metropolitan
Sev�er Board. Anything the suburbs can do locally would be to our benefit. It
seems the people are complaining about the or.dinance itself. These are two
separate issues, and after re-reading the memo from the City Attorney, he could
not vote aye to the motion bX Councilman Kels��aw. He said the Council shc�uld
accept the petitions and take the responsibility for it, then the ordinance can
be amended and if it is still not acceptable, it should be put to a referendum.

Councilman Breider told Mr. Peterson that he had spent many long hours in
research on this particular issue, and out of that came many refinements, such
as, the clauses that were added pertaining to the special rate for senior
citizens and;that there shall be no disconnection fee. He said he has been
on the Council t�ao years and there have been many many things on �the Agenda
each evenznq that he must make a decision on, so i� Mr. Peterson does not
agree with one of them, that really does not hurt his feelings.
Councilman Mittelstadt said that he would agree with Councilman Breider, whether
the peiitions are accepted or not, the ordinance can be changed at any time
by the City Council. He felt that the people did not want the ordinance totally
destroyed, only that they felt there were more amendments needed. The Council
could surely have more public hearings to allow the people to suggest what tney
would want added, and to say what they do not like about the ordinance. It was
his belief that. the petitioners did not want total repeal, only changes.
Councilman Utter said that he must agree with Councilman Breider, especially
after reading the memo from the City �ttorney, and he would be reluctant to
throw out those petitions. It was pointed out that the memorandum written by
the City Attorney could be assumed to be the result o� the conference held in
the judge's chambers last week, with both the attorneys present. Councilman
Breider commented that it appears the Council is heading in the same direction,
but by diffexent routes, and that it is not a matter of throwing out cable
television, but more how to get the amendments to please everyone. Mayor Liebl
said he.could not vote .for falsified signatures and that he takes his oath
very seriously. _:

CONSIDERATTON OF FMPLOYING A CONSUL2'ANT FOR A MARKET ANALYSIS OF I,I�UOR STORE
#�1 (SKYF700D) : (Tabled 1-17-72) �
Mayor Liebl asked Councilmen Utter and Mittelstadt if tteey had had a chance to
go over the background material, and they both replied they had. Mayor Liebl
said that as he had s�ated previously, the City has department heads paid top
salaries to carry ou-t their responsibilities, and if they cannot, they should
be replaced. It is time to find out if the tax payers are getting their money's
worth. He said his recommendation would be -to ask the Administration to come
up with three or so recommendations in regard to where the new Ziquor store
should be located and also ask the Liquor Store Manaqer to give a competent-
report, and not to hire an outside consultant.
�
Councilman Mittelstadt said that he and Councilman Utter had had a long discussion
with the Adzninistration, and he felt, and thought Councilman Utter agreed with �
hirn, that�an outside firm hired to defermine F;here a new liquor stc�re should be ,t�
would get their data from the sa;ne sou.rce the Administration did. That data is ��
alread� in the City's possession. .

MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt not to hire an outside consultant to study
Skywood. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw for discussion.
Councilman Kelshaw asked Councilman Mittelstadt what he is proposing, what would
happen to Skywood anc3 what he would recommend the Council should do. Councilman
Mittelstadt said he would not want to go on record as stating what shauld be done
with Skycaood prior to having a total plan submitted. 2'he offices at City Hall
do have documentation and supporting data, and the City Manager should be
assigned the responsibility of putting aZl the data togetYter and proposing options
for the Council to consider. Cauncilman Kelshaw asked the City Manager if he
felt he was capable of doing this. Th� Gity Manager replied that he believed so,
and added that it was at the suggestion of the Council that he investigated
hiring an outside firm. Mayor Liebl said that the Council must be thrifty.
The Skywood operation went down again this year, but it would be foolish to
spend the money for a market analysis.
THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl
declared the motion carried unanimausly.
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 25.02 OF THE CITY CODE: (5ale of
Lost and Stolen Property}
The City�Manager said this ordinance is being proposed because during the y�ar a
great deal of lost and stolen merchandise is accumulated and this creates a
storage problem. The ordinance would allow for one or more sales per year, as
it becomes necessary.
� •
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the ordinance on first reading and waive
the 'reading. 5econded by Councilman Mittelstadt. Upon a voice vate, all voting
aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
REPORT ON RIVERVIEW HFiGHTS:
The City Manager summarized his report dated February 3, 1972 for the benefit of
the audience giving them the information that has been accu�ulated to date, and
what progress the Administration has maae. There has not been any �ormal appli-
cation for a grant made, but they were told verbally that it would be extremely
doubtful that any application would be approved because of the high cost of the
land (approximately $30,000 per acre), further that there had been an appli-
cation made for acquisition for a park elsewhere where the acquisition cost
was $10,000 per acre and they were rejected outright. Fridley's share of the
cost would be either approximately $100,000 or $50,000 depending upon which
program was appliecl for, and under which one they could qualify.
Mayor_ Liebl said that the City has speni a considerable amount of money in that
area on maintenance, and he would certainly like to see something done to help
these people. Councilmen Breider and Mittelstadt have talked to these people
and it seems that they would like to get some help, if possible. If Fridley
could be successful in getting State or Federal participation, even with the
Zarge inv.estraent Fridley would have to make, over the long run, the City would
get i� back through relieving the obligatioii for maintenance costs in that
area, and the people could be helped too.
�' REGULAR GOUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1972 • � PAGE 12
� The City Engineer said throughout the discussions with HUD they were extremely
discouraging, and as pointed out a$10,000 figure per acre was rejected as
, being too expensive. The City could still apply, but he telt the chances of
receiving a grant were very minimal.
Councilman Mittelstadt said he thought the City shou2d still apply for it, as he
, � thought there was going to be a problem again this spring. There was high
water in 1965 and ii seems there is going to be again in 1972. These people
are about 6 weeks away from suffering some property damage and there w�ll have
' to be a temporary dike put in right away i� they are going to get any help. He
said he would ].ike to see some help from �tYLe State and Federal government and
that an application should be made soon. He said that he had talked to some of
' these people concerning the price they feel they should receive, and he would
say that about 99$ of the people would want to get out o� the area.
' A resident of the area asked where the $30,000 figure came from. No one is asking
$30,000 for an acxe. Councilman Breider said that he had gone through the
initial �tudy. There are property values and also assessment values. In talking
with HUD they consider ].and values, structure values and alsa �the assessment
, values, which does add up to about $30,000 per acre. HUD considers the tota2
package and there are some Zais tYiat do not have structures which are owned by
people, and are not t� forfeit. The City Manager asked if most of the people
' would want to be relocated. It could become a di�ficult issue of all the .
residents did not want to move out.
� Mr. Harold Belisle, 7801 Apex Lane N.E., read a short letter from Anoka County
written in the '50s in which this area is�considered a flood plain. He said he
has nine children and has lived there a number of years. The last few years
you can see the river bottom come up, and at times you can walk across. He
, said that when a section oi the river had a channel dug, he had talked to the
superintendent and he would like to see that channeZ extended up to the Coon
Rapids dam. In the years to come that channel will have to be dug because every
� year they have to back up the water for Minneapolis further upstream. He said
he bought his place because he liked it, and he has suffered through the
� flooding like everyone else, and if the rest want to move, O.K., but he saic3 he
� likes his river frontage. He said he believed the answer was to do. something
with the river, rather than the land.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Belisle, if the Council was successful in getting a grant,
� he would not fight it, and would xelocate F=ith the xest? For a project like
this the residents would need some help and he thought the only way to proceed
is as the Administration suggested. Every year the City has to spend a lot of
' money up there and over the years it would actually be a savings. He told Mr.
Belisle his representative has promised to try to help him.
' Mr. Joe Connors, Representative, said as he understood it, if an application w1s
made, there is a good chance it would not be granted? The City Manager said
they have had no formal ward, but they have had a pre-submission conference and
� the verbal indication is that approval of a grant is extremely unlikely because
of the cost. Under the I.APiCON program the City share of the cost could be about
. $50,000 or more, and under ihe Legacy of Parks Program it coutd be as much as
$lOQ,000. He ac3ded he coul_d'not s�.y where Fridley would get their share, but
, if so directed, he would F�ork on it. -

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1972 PAGE 13
Mr. Belisle said he could not understand why they were not included in the dike
system. He had thought they were going to dike the whole axea. The City Engineer
showed the area on the overhead pxojector, and said that in 1969 there was a
study made with the Corps of Engineers to see what could be reasonably pro-
tected. The pzoblem in this area is no� actualJ.y the river, but rather the
creek. When the water rises, it backs up in the creek and floods the area be�ore
it goes over the banks of the xiver and ovex Rivervi.ew Terrace. To protect the
axea in question the dike would have to encircle it. The Corps �iguxed out
the expense in relation to the vaI.ue of the structures and land and found that
it would be unecanomical. There is now a semi-permanent facility in place north
of 79th Way. _
Mayor Liebl asked those residents in attendance if they would encourage the
Council in this endeavor and a major.ity replied yes. Mr. Robert Kretlow,
7$85 Broad Avenue N.E., said he has been through three floods. It seems to be
a question of whether the City has the funds available. It has been said that it
costs a lot to maintain the area, yet these are temporary measures and it is going
to get ��orse, not better. As the Iand further upstream gets built up the pro-
blems here will be compounded. He said he would rather see the City spend the
money to vacate the area, rather than protect it.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw .to table to the next regular Council Meeting and
asl the City Manager to bxing back complete figures on the costs of the mairitenance
of fihat area. : � ---
Mayor Liebl said that the people have indicated to him that they want help. They
do not want to depend on the City for any �hand-out, what they want is a permanent
solution. � .
Mayor Lieb1 called tor a second, there was no xesponse, therefore, he declared
the MOTION DIES for lack of a second. •
MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to receive the memorandum from the City Manager
dated �'ebruary 3, 1972 with the supporting data, and also the memorandum from the
City Manager da-ted February 4, 1972 which accampanied the report put out by the
Corps of Engineers. Seconded by Councilman Utter.
The City Manager said tnat in his memo he states that the Corps of Engineers would
like to have a joint meeting with the Fridley and New Brighton Councils, and the
public. At that time the report can be discizssed in detail and the public can
ask questions. The New Brighton City Manager has polled the Council and
suggested some dates and asked the Council if they were available on any of
these dates for a meeting. New Brighton would like to meet in Fridley as the
Fridley Civic Center is larger. The C�uncil, after some discussion, decided to
meet on February 25, Z972 at 7:30 P.M.
GounciJ.man Mittelstadt said that Mr. Belisle had a valid point, and perhaps if
the application is turned down, the matter should be pursued through the Corps
in that direction. The City Manager added that he would hold his xeport until
after the_meeting on Feb. 25th. Mr. Belisle said that a person could see for
himseli in the sumntertime there is no channel. There is a small channel, per-
haps 10`, on the other side. People who own boa�cs use the river in the s�ring
and early summer, but during the middle of the summer their boats hit the
rocks.

Mayor Liebl asked_Mr. Belisle, if the City was .successful in getting funds,
would he move out with the rest, or would he fight the Council? The project
should be unanimous, so if he were to get his money's worth, would he cooperate
with his neighbors? Mr. Belisle asked where he could.get another river frontage
with the money the City could afford to pay him. He said he moved down there
when there were only a very few houses in the area. Mayor Liebl asked the
rest of the residents if they would cooperate and they replied yes. Mr. Belisle
said that.this stretch of the river has never had anything done to it, between
NS� and the Coon Rapids dam. During the 1952 flood he had many many logs on.
his iot - that,was the first flood since 1883. Since that time things have
gradually gotten worse. _ ,
Mr. Earl Gemmill, 468 Longfellow, said that it did not sound too promising in
ge�ting the grant, so why not look in�o the costs of dredging. Councilman
Mittelstad� said they would bring it up at the meeting with the Coxps o£ Engi-
neers., Mr. Kretlow said he believed that was looked into once, and they found
that they would only dredge navigable waters, and they would only go up to NSP.

clared �he motian carried unanimous].y. _ _ _ .
MOTION by Councilman Mi:ttelstadt to set a meeting date of February 25, I972 at
7_:30 P.M. for the meetzng with the Corps of Engineer.s, New Bri�hton and the•
public, to be held in the F'ridley Civic Center. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw.
Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION #19-1972 - A RESOLUTION SETTINC� 5EGSER CHARGES EFFECTIVE JANUARY
1, 1972: j
The City Manager reported that he had invited Mr. Tony Gnerre of the Metropoli�an
5ewer Board to be present at the meeting to answer some questions on the Metro
Se:uer charges which have already been outlined and furnished to the Council and
Mr. Gnerre. _
l. Why is Fridley billed so high as compared to other communities such as
Golden Valley, even though the popuZations are quite similar?
Mr. Gnerre said t1��t this is not really a good comparison because the assessed
valuation for Golden Valley is abou-t 9 million more than Fridley, but Fridley
has a higher population. The real question is the service`area boundaries. In
the metropolitan area there are six geographical areas and the costs between
Service Area #1 ar_d �the others show the greatest inequity. In Service Area #1
there are 51 1ocal governments and in Service Area #2 there are 20. The bigger
the unit, the less cost per unit. The Sewer Board budget wnich was rejected
attempted to integxate Service Area #1 and �2, but their efforts died in vain,
and they got no Zocal. government support. This would have shifted about 3/4
million in gross charges. He said they, on the Sewer Board, fee2 they shouZd
get a xesponse from Fridley, but they did not get any. The feeling seems to

�2. Why is the charge in Service Area #2 so high relative to Service Area
� -#1� _ �
Mr. Gnerre said that the answer to that question is the same as the first question.
3. Is everybody paying on an equal basis for the treatment . works reserve
capacity available at Pigs Eye Plant?
Mr. Gnerre said that answer was yes. The cost is ta3cen for all 32 treatmer.t
plant facilities, computed, then each community is charged on a per gallon basis,
and everyone pays equally. This is for the treatment works only. There is also
a second question, that of the interceptors; and that is where the problem is.
4. Why is reserve capacity shown so high for Serva.ce Area #2 when more than
75� of the community is already developed?
Mr. Gnerre asked does this mean Fridley is 75o developed, or Service Area #2?
Service Area #2 is not even 35o developed. In F'ridley, 13% of the interceptor
system is being used, in Blaine it is 8%, Coon Rapids 9o,'and in Brooklyn
Park 25%. The questibn is ac�ual.ly inaccurate: "
5. Why did Metro Sewer buy Brooklyn Park line for over 2 million dollars
whereas their cost was substantially lower than this figure, and is this
buy back charged to onZy Service Area #2?
,
Mr. Gnerre said that the orzginal cost �o put the pipe in the ground was 2�
million doZlars. When the Sewer Board took over a year ago, it had outstanding
bonds of 1.7 million doZlars against tha� pipe which the Metxo 5ewer Board took
over. Theri they figured that the net cost to Hrooklyn Park was abaut $8Q0,000.
Then it all had to be indexed up so that as of January l, 197I the Sewer Board
bought every pipe in the area on an equal basis. In evaluating up this $800,000,
the cost came to 2.1 million doZlars, then the Sewer Board said that 890 i.s the
Sewer Board's s� they are paying back to Brooklyn Park a littZe over 1 miZZion
dollars. .
6. Why is the current valne credit to Frzdley so low in relation to other
communities?
Mr. Gnerre said that� ar� azalysis of current value credits for the northern
suburban communities totals 2.9 million dollars, and of that Fridley has 16%.
Brooklyn Park gets the biggest credit. k'ridley is really not so low in relation
to the other north suburban communities.
7. WYzy is Fridley supposed to pay 39 thousand dollars deferred charges to
carry the cost for other communities and 'what would be the interest
rate and the number o£ years at which this money would be paid back?
A4r. Gnerre said that the Sewer Act provided a deferment feature, and the cost of
the money to the Sewer Board is 5 3/40. There is no established policy that will
r' say when Fridley will get back the money they spent to heZp someone else pay. The
bletro Sewer Board took the position it must be paid back in 5 years, but the
, Metropolitan Council overr.ode this and as of now there is no answer, and they are
studying it. Hopefully, Frzdley will get their money back with interest.

8. Considering the Metro Sewer 5 year capitol improvement program and
increase in other expenses, what kind of rate of increase can Fridley
expect for the sewer bill charges from Metro Sewer for the term of
this program?
Mr. Gnerre reported that the Metro Sewer BoarB must accomplish the cleaning up
of the rivers, lakes and streams. The PCA has taken the 5ewer Board to court
on three plants already. Three met their standards when the Metro Sewer Board
took over and 29 did not, today five meet their standards. Those 29 plants did
a miserable job of dumping sewage into your lakes and streams. How do you
meet.their standards? You spend money: Over the next 5- 6 years, if you
assume every household will generate 100,000 gallons o£ sewage per year, the
average cost for 1972 would be $3Z per year. In 1971 the cost was about �29
per year and by 1976 the cost will almost double and the average cost will be
$53 per year on a unit cost basis. This is money the Metro Sewer Board must
spend because of pressures from the government, so they will have to borrow.
He said they now have an application in for a federal grant for 80 million
dollars and if they are able to secure the grant, the costs could be less.
' 9, Why did Metro Sewer sell a Zarge amount of bonds and didn't actually
proceed with the improvements and the bond interest was not credited
back to the improvement areas but wae put in a general fund?
C
�
'
�
Mr. Gnerre called the Council's attention to their financial report on their
construction program. This is a routine monthly repor�.. It siiows that the
Sewer Board has taken in 76� million dollars and encumbered 76 million. This
means that in I970 they had.available funds of $270,000. In the report
there is a million dollar_project speca.fied, but the Board cannot commit
themselves to a�contract until they have a million dollars in hand. They are
waiting now for 9� million dollars from Federal revenue that has been promised,
but has not yet been received. He called their attention to Page 12 of the
report. There is 14 million in revenue and an equal amount, actuaZly over-
drawn, that has been expended. Thers are right now 6 million dallars worth
in jobs to be let. There is no money lay�ng around and it cannot be trans-
� ferred to the general fund.
� The City Manager said, on the matter of where the yearly increases are going
to go, Fridley has a proposal before the Council to increase the yearly costs
�or 1972 to $48 per year to cover the increase in sewer charges. Mr. Gnerxe
said Fridley's costs should not double in 5_years._ �t wili take 90 million
' dollars to bring -the plants up to standards set. The cost of the treatment
plants will be spread uniformly throughout the metro area. When the Sewer
Act was enacted, it created the requirement for uniform charges far uniform
' service. He said the Sewer Board feels that the service area concept causes
inequities, and what they would Zike to do is create one big service area and
everyone would pay equally. W'hen they can achieve that, everyone will get
' nice clean lakes and streams, but it will cost a lot of money. He added that
the standards they are required to meet are raised every year.
' l�iayor Lieb1 asked if the local governments must assume an obligation in order
to be eligible for Fecleral gxants. Mr. Gnerre said yes, and added that through-
out the country househelcls h�ve been subsidizing industry and now industry
must pay their fair share. If they cannot do it, 60 - 80 million dollars go
' dowzi the drain. The industries have been getting away with murder. This is
the ruling of the PGA ar�d the EPA.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1972 PAGE 17
Mr. Jim Gibson said that in 1961 some things were told to the Water Pollution
Control Commission that would happen, and Mr. Gnerre just proved that they
were right. People were told that the cost of inetro sewer wouZd never under
any circumstances by over $30 per year, and this would be the ultimate cost
in about 1980 or I985. The Metra Sewer Board wants the people in the suburbs
to pay the central city's bills. The Sewer Board bonded 21 million to update
Pigs Eye plant� now we are getting this thing jammed down ous throats. There
are to be two I20" lines from Pigs Eye to empty at Hastings and St. Croix.
They cannot dtunp here because it will kill the river. NSSSD was started ta
clean up our own sewer problems, now the metropolitan government wants the
suburbs to pay their bills. In Z958 there was a plan presented that suggested
having five regional disposal systems. We must elect people to the legislature
that will dump the Metxopolitan Council and the Metropolitan Se�er Board, and
get back to the proposal made in 1958. The cost now is about six times too
high priced. Mr. Gnerre said there were no plans ta c�ump in the St. Croix
and further, that the txeatment must bring about complete removal of waste.
A 3ot of these costs were inherited by the Metro Sewer Board. There has been
some dis�ussion about a Fridley plan�, and some say yes and some say no.
Fridley's needs will not be until about 1985 and the concept says that treat-
ment will be alloaated equally and everybody will pay for it, not just the City
of Fridley. GJhat the Metro Sewer Board would like is only 5- 6 plants. The
technology in sewer trea�.ment is hasically the same as it was 40 years ago.
The sewage should be ready to drink when it comes out. The Sewer Board has
been assigned the duty of finc3ing a way to clean �things up and get the job
done. The Sewer Act was passed unanimously and the Board can do it, but it will
cost money. Mayor Liebl asked if Mr. Gnerre felt that Fridley got a fair shake
in regard to their bill. Mr. Gnerre said`there taas no deviation in the imple-
mentation of the Sewer Act. There are inequities which come about because of
the sewer area boundaries, bu� the Boaxd must work within the Aci. Minneapolis
and St. Paul buy out is 2/3 of the total system. The flow capacity and reserve
is just what NSSSD had. The Acting City Attorney asked how the service area
boundaries are set. Mr. Gnerre said by public hearings before the Metro-
poZitan Council. The suburlas should become more familiar with this and pro-
vide more input.
Mr. Richard Harris asked if what he was saying was there has not been any
improvement in sewage treatnteni for the last 40 years. Mr. Gnerre said that
there is a treatment plant in Rosen�ount that cost almost 2 miZlion dollaxs.
It is a pilot plant and if it works, it will be used�for future plants. ,Mr.
Harris asked what the Me-tro Sewer Soard was'going to do with the land at
37th and Marshall. Mr. Gnerr.e said that Fridley's needs will not be until
1985. In the meantime, the Board hopes to convince Fridley that a treatment
pl.ant wi1Z not be needed in Fridley if there is a big metro plant. There
would bP sufficient capacity with a metro plant. �
� Councilman Utter asked if Mr. Gnerre was sayina that Fridley will have to pay
for the pipe that goes across the river. Mr. Gnerre said that the cost is
allocated within the service area. Councilman Utter said that Fridley's
ra-tes are right at the top of the list. Mr.-Gnerre said this is because of
the service area boundaries. He adc?ed that reserve capacity is that amount
� af pipe in the ground, and is like money in the banl:. Councilman Utter said
that Fridley is 75o developed, so why do we need this much reserve capacity?
� Mr. Gnerre said that daesn't matter, the area boundaries do. That money �zas
borrowed and the pipe is in the ground and has to be paid for. The inter-
ceptors are already in the qround and the cost has to be divided up and

allocated. Councilman Breider asked if we:were all in one big service area,
would Fridley's cost be less. Mx. Gnerre said that if we were on a truly
metropolitan system the bi11 per famiZy fox 1972 would be $31 average. He
said water going back into the river has to be pure and to do that we need
big plants to do the job right. He pointed out that the last few years the
emphasis has been on envixonmental control and pointed"to Minnetonka. The
residents expressed a great concern for their lake, so theix sewage treatment
plant has to be closed down.
Mr. Gnerre said thank you to the Council for inviting him and added that he had
a great deal of respect for the City Manager and the Council used good judg-
ment in hiring him. He said that he will con-tinue working with Fridley in
de��eloping the rates. The Council then thanked Mr. Gnerre for coming.

Councilman Breider asked if there was any thought given to going further with
the disability. All the provisions are for 10 years minimum sexvice. Mr.
Aldrich said that.they had looked around at what is bei.ng done elsewhere and
it seemed the standard used for a non-related disability was 10 years. For
PERA, it is 10 years before it becames vested. This is what they used to
axrive at their figures.

MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to reapprove the Shady Oak Plat.
Mayor Liebl said that in the earlier discussions about this plat he raised
the questian in regard to whether there would be further problems with
Benjamin Street. He was told there would not be problems with the drainage
on Benjamin Street, but there may be some on Ferndale. The City Engineer
said yes, but since then the Council has ordered in more improvements, and
there is a public hearing proposed for next Monday night for the area just
to the north. Hopefully, fihe problems will then be taken care of.
THE MOTiON was seconded and upon a voic,e vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared
the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF 258 UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING IN THE INNSBRUCK NORTH
COMPLEX:
Councilman Kelshaw said that he was abl.e to go with a member o:E Viewcon to
Brooklyn Center to see "The Beach", and he was impress�d with the construction
of both the exterior and interior of the complex. Viewcon is now asking to
reduce the size of the units in this buiTding, and he must admit that if they
were to keep the exterior of the quality he saw in Brooklyn Center, he could
find no fault with it, He would have only one comment as far as the exterior
goes for the.building in Fridley, he would like to see some brick on the facing.
FIe added that he had already discussed this with Chuck Van Eeckhout. He did
not believe the public could have any hard teelirigs Iooking at this building
from the outside, so the question comes down to a determination on the size
of the units. He said he was skeptical ab'out Fridley getting the repu-tation �
of not being concerned with people who cannot afford a high rental. They are
proposing $138 a month for an efficiency. This would most probably be a single
person. The quality of the exterior or the interior has not changed. He said
he aould not see that Fridley should discriminate against people that can
only pay $i38 for an efficiency or $168 for a one bedroam apartment. There
are still the other apartments in the other building that are more spacious,
and more costly, and these would be the same, only less footage.
Mayor Liebl said that it would seem that the smal2er size would cut down on
the nuznber of children. Councilman Kelshaw said it would seem so. In the
efficiency there is no bedroom. In the one bedroom apartment, where would you
put a child? Mayor Liebl said that he thought �he company was still living up
to their commitm�nt. It will change the kind of rent they can ask, but that
would apply to all clientele. Councilman Kelshaw said that it would seem that
the kind of person that would want an efficiency �vould be University students
etc. He coz�ld not conceive tl�at there could be a child in them.
Council.man Breider said this is part of a total package of apartments and town-
houses. He had heard of no rental under about $225 and the proposal was pre-
sented to the people on that basis. He objected to setting out on this endeavor
with the rent at $225 and above, then having it reduced to $138, and felt that
this would be misleading the people on the other side of the freeway. WouZdn't
this be setiing a precident? What if they say the rent will be one rate, then
charge $95 or so? Councilman Kelshaw said that the quality of the structure is
not changed, whether looking�at a$I38 efticiency or a two bedroom apartment.
They still must maintain the same good quality, -

Councilman Utter said he was concerned about the people across the road. Some
o£ those hauses are in the $150,000 range. Councilman Kelshaw said that if the
exterior_is exactly the same, where would be the problem? Councilman Utter
said, what about the tenants? _ ..
Mayor Liebl asked what the average rent wo�.�ld be in this complex. Nlr. Darrel
�� A. Farr, Viewcon, said it wouZd be $168 for a one bedroom, and at Ttain Lakes
it is.$165. The two bedroom in this section would be about $195. At Twin
Lakes the rent is from $195 to $225. There is nothing cheap about these units.
1 They have sunken Iiving rooms, underground qarages, firepZaces, garbage di.s-
posals, built-ins etc. He said they cannot build the units as big as in
1968 - i969. Ta stay competitive, they had to cut the size back.

I�ayor Liebl said that the InnsbruGk area is the nicest residential area in
Fridiey and some of the houses are in the $15Q,000 range. He asked if this
criteria fit the overall plan Viewcon presented to the Council. Mr. Farr said
he felt that they have kept faith, and that the project has not been downgradecl.
There ar� 120 single family lots and they are now building homes in there.
There are some townhouses sold and they average $36,000. They have agreed to
put in concrete streets as FridZey desired. Councilman Utter said that for
the single family lots, the cost ranges from $8,500 to $14,000 and asked if there
was any value on the structuxe. Mr. Farr sazd there are restrictive covenants
anfl they now have 4- 5 under construction. The cheapest house on the cheapest
lot would be about $53,000, Councilman Kelshaw said that this building would
be;258 units, were they planning on putting in any more buildings? Mr. Farr
said only the one already appr�ved with 238 units that will be more spacious
and more expensive. � . '. . _ _ _
,
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to approve the plans for the 258 unit apartment
building presented by Viewcon, Inc., subject to their maintaining �the same
quality as stated in the original proposal, that the facing will be Z/3 brick
as he had discussed with Mr. Van Eeckhout, and subject to the stipulations
imposed by the Building Standards - Design Control ai their meeting of
November 23, 1971. Seconded by Councilman Mittelstadt.
Councilman Mittelstadt asked wha� inspections will be done. The City Engineer
said all the phases of construction will be inspected b�fore a certificate of
accupancy is issued. He added that the apartment building that has already
been approved has not been started yet. In this pla.r� the two bedroom unit is
about 200' short of what has been the standard in the past, and will be one of
the lowest size in the last 3- 4 years. He suggested there should be some type
of restrictions on the numbex of tenants in each unit, such as in the efficiency,
there should nat be rcore tnan one pArson. The Council approved the concept
based on what was originally presented, and this plan was not included. Fridley
does have about 17o that is considered low income housing. He said that he
would also Iike to see that both buildings are built at the same time, or the
low income one might be built and the other might not be built for a number of
years.
Counci7.man Kelshaw said he appreciated the City Engineer's comments and wondered
iF it would be possible ta restrict the efficiency to only one person. Mr.
Farr said he was not sure, but in his experience an efficienc� anartment.would
have one person, but he has not built too many efficiencies. He added that he
believed they could live with that �estriction. The Acting City Attorney said he
was not too sure the City could restrict the occupancy of an efficiency to only
one person, but they could perhaps restrict it to two.

TF� VOTE UPON THE MOTTON, being a voice vote, LiebZ, Mittelstadt and Kelshaw
voting aye, Breider and Utter voting nay, Mayor Liebl declared the motion
carried.
Caunca.lman Utter said he lived in that general area, and he did not believe
this plan was up to standard. Councilman Breider said that when this area
was rezoned, he thought both buildings would be approximately the same, now
there is 200 square feet difference. Aftex the rezoning was accomplished they
came back with this new plan for smaller units. When he voted for the rezoning,
he voted for the whole package as it was presented.
Councilman Kelshaw asked if the square footage is the same as originally
presented. Mr. Farr said yes, on the originaZ proposal that was passed they
had all apartment house type housing, s.ince that time, they have taken some
of the land for townhouse construction. This will be the hiqhest quality of
buiZding in existence in Fridley. The City Engineer said they originally had
a plan for apartment buildings, then it was changed to two apartment buildings
and townhouses. This is what was originally approved. They qoi approval of
the 238 unit apartment building, then came in with the second 258 unit apaxt-
ment buiZding with the reduced size. The quality will be the same, but to
keep the rental cost down, they had to shrink the unit size. Their second
plan does not meet the standard size that has been approved in recent years.

that it is required that the Firemen's Pension Association be andited, but
not the Police Pension �3ssociation. The City Manager said he felt the City
could require it because the City does make payments to it, and that the audit
should be done annually. - -

WARMING HOUSE AND SHELTER BUILDING: � •
MOTION by Councizman Mittelstadt to adopt Resolution #Z2-1972. Seconded by
Councilman Breider for discussion.
Councilman Breider asked if this was something that was going to be moved
between the parks. The City Manager sazd that it was possible to move them,
but �there were two specific locations they will be used at for summer and
winter use. Basically they are in lieu of permanent structures. The City
has one now. Councilman Utter said there is ane at Terrace Park and he felt
that one was all right, although he did not know how people felt about bringing
in trailer houses. There is also one at Gxace High School that is a disgrace.
There are no windows left and there is a gas tank sitting beside the trailer.
He asked how much a trailer liouse would cost. The City Manager replied it is
estimated to be $2800 each. Councilman Utter asked how much the one at
Terrace Park cost. The City Manager said $2600 and added that there are no

restroom facilities and that they have tried to make it as vandal-proof
as p.ossible. Councilman Utter asked if they did not t.�ink it would be
better to look toward putting in a permanent structure? The City Manager
said that has been checked out. There is one permanent building at Locke
Park and one at �he Commons. The one at Locke Park is a rather expensive
building. It was built keeping the decor in agreement with Columbia Arena
and cost about $20,000._ Councilman Utter said fihat he did not like the idea
of putting in these temporary homes, then bringing in satellites. The City
Manager said he wauld agree with Councilman Utter, the use of mobile homes
is not the ideal solution, but he did not think that the City could think
in terms of permanent buildings without a bond issue.
The Acting City Attorney asked about the mobile home at Grace High School, and
added that there is an ordinance against bringing in mobile homes in Fridley.
The Finance Director said he believed it belongs to the High School. The
Acting City Attorney said that he thought the one at Terrace Park was unani-
mously received. They could use a pexmanent building there. Councilman Utter
said that the one at Grace High Schoo2 belongs to them, but the Ci:ty has an
agreement with them for maintenance of the hockey rink. Councilman Kelshaw
asked the City Manager to please check this out. The City Manager suggested
that the Council could authorize the bids and in the interim, he could pro-
vide the Council with estimates of a permanent building so they couId be com-
pared with the bids. Mayor Liebl pointed out that the Birector of Parks and
Recreation feels that mobility would be of some value. Gouncilman Utter
said that the mobile home at Terrace Park was used at Commons Park for a day,
but every time a mobile home has to be moved, NSP has to be contaeted to
come out and make the hook-up, and �here is an additional cost. '

PUBLIC HEARTNG ON AS5ESSMENT - LOCKE LAKE DAM IMPRQVF�MENT PROJECT '�104:
The City Assessor put the map of Locke Lake on the overh�ad projector and the
City Manager read the memor�.ndum �rom the Finance Director dated Februaxy 10,
1972 aloud at the request of Mayor Liebl. The memo outlines the cost of the
project and the different ways of figuring the assessment rate. Mayox I�iebl said
that this Council made a firm commitment to the people abutting Locke Lake last
year. They were told their assessment would be about $225 per lot. This was
based on the estimate by the City Engin�er. Councilman Ntittelstadt said that
he,would xecommend the Council stick to the original praposed assessment. The
amount that was to be assessed was $10,080.00, and that figure divided by 45
lots comes out to $224 per lot. Mayor Liebl asked the rest of the Council if
they would concur with using that roll (Ro11 #3). Councilman Breider said i�
that is what the Council said, we will do it.
Councilman Brei.der asked, referrina to the catwalk, if that was going across the
top of the dam so people could walk across. The City Engineer said yes, they
wanted to provide the walk for safety. Councilman Breider asked i,f the fencing
would be along the wing area, and the City Engineer said yes.
Mr. Wayne Pearson, Locke Lake Association President, asked where the City
Assessor got 45 lots, when they counted the lots, tY�.ey came up with 48. The
City Assessor went to the map and SI'lp�aed the are� that taas coun-ted and said only
-those lots that actually abut thn lake were coanted, and they did include the
City park property. After some discussion of which lo�s were counted, Mxs. Helen
Johnson, 6817 Hickory Street N.E., said that she thought that the difference
was th�t they had counted some lots that abutted thP creek. Mr. Pearson said
�
,
�
'
�
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 1972

that they believe that the dam and the fence are for the bene�it of all'children
that come down to the lake. Councilman Mittelstadt said they are not con-
sidered in this paxt of the assessmen-t.
A resident in the area said that when the hearings were held pertaining to the
dam, it was clearly outlined there would be two spillways for the excess water.
It should be very easy to calculaie where the high water is. The way it is
now, the spillways are being used as a dam and the dam is the spillway. This
makes a considerable difference and he thought there would be a potentially
dangerous situation. It would be very easy �or a child in a canoe to go over the
spillway.
� The City Engineer said that he does have a letter �rom the Locke I,ake Association
where they wanted the level of the Ia�:e raised. The City has no objection to
your wishes in regard to the level o� the Iake. To accomplish Hrhat this gentle
man wants would be,a simple matter of taking some boards down and it would lower
' the level of the lake 6" to 1'. This determination, the City feels, should be
left up to the Association, and if the Association wants to lower the lake, they
can do so. He suggested this gentleman should work through the Association, as
� different people have different opinions about where the level of the lake
should be.

PUBLTC HEARING ON iMPROVEMENT - SANITARY 5EWER, WATER AND STORM SEW�R PROJECT
#].06 : � _
Mayor Liebl read the public hearing notice and the City Engineer showed the area
proposed to be improved on �the overhead projector. The improvement would be
basically for the proposed plat of Briardale, and would also benefit tha area
west of Benjamin Street. The improvement is in three sections, sanitary sewer,
water and storm sewer, and he suggested taking each up, one at a time.
Sanitary Sewer -
Councilman Mittelstadt said he believed the area was high in the northeast, near
Rice Creek Road. The City Engineer said yes, and while pointing to the map,
explained that the sewer facilities are already installed in McKinley Street.
Mr. Dennis Shneider, 6190 Stinson Boulevard, said he lived on the cornar and
would he�be included in the assessment, andz,vhere is proposed 62nd Avenue? The
City Engineer pointed out on the screen where 62nd Avenue would be and said that
Mr. Shneider would nflt be included in this assessment, nor would anyone else that
has sewer and water. He would be included, however, int�e storm sewer assessment
that will be dzscussed later. � .
Mr. LaMoix�e Follingstad, I626 Rice Creek Road, said that part of his land abuts
62nd, so how woul.d it affect him. The City Engineer said the same would hold
true. No lots having sanitary sewer will be affected by a sanitary sewer assess-
ment.
Mayor Liebl asked if this improvement was petitioned for, or was it City initiated?
The Czty Enqzneer said this improvemen-t was petitioned for by the developer of
Briardale plat. Mayor Liebl asked what percentage the petition represents and
the City Engineer answered approximately 60%. -
Water Main
The City Engineer put the map of the proposed water line on the screen and said
that the same hoZds true with this por.-t.ion as with the sanitary sewer. The imprave-
ment is to serve tne Briardale plat and that part of Benjamin Street ihat does not
now have water facilities. Anyone that now has a water service would not be
affected by this assessment.
Mayor Liebl asked the cost per foot. The City Engineer said the costs are given
on the first page of the preliminary ass�ssment roll and are estimated at $5.38
per front foot or $834 per lot. Mayor Liebl said there were three cul-de-sacs
in this area, k�as the assessment been spread properly for them? The Finance
Director said yes, at this time it is not known the exact footage, these are
only estimates. Briardale has indicated they would rather have the assessments
on a lot basis rather than on a front foot basis. The City Engineer emphasized
that this is an improvement hearing only to establish whether the area should be
improved, and the figures given are estimates only. Mayor Liebl asked if there
were any questions on this portion of the hearzng from the audience, with no
res,�onse . � -

SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRiJARY 14, 197�'.
Storm Sewer
PAGE 4
The City Engineer showe�l the area on the overhead projector and said the improve-
ment is split into two systems, one is to serve the internal area and the second
would be costs assigned to the area for outlet improvement. He explained to the
audience that the drainage area on the screen is outlined by the heavy line. fihe
area includes most of the Briardale plat and an area west of Benjamin. The rate
proposed for figuring the estimated cost.is $6.77 per 100 square feet. The cross-
hatched area on the map indicates the land that contributes to the central
drainage area. When Briardale came before the Council the,re was considerable
discussion about the drainage problem, and the Council wanted Briardale to put
$800 per lot into escrow. The outlot costs estimated on an area basis would be
$)..50 per 1Q0 square feet which would make a.total of $8.2? per 100 square feet.
Mr. Dennis Shneider, 6190 Stinson Boulevard asked if the area around Stinson, 61st
and 62nd would be i.ncluded, even though part of the lots drain in the o�ther
direction. The City Engineer said yes, bECause the water that you may think goes
into New Brighton, eventually comes back into Fridley. He then displayed the
map of the storm sewer districts for the City on the easel, and explained that
it is the City's policy that all the area within one.drainage district_is assessed
on an equal.basis. People on high ground seem to think their water goes away
and they have no problem, so why should they be assessed, but they must under-
stand that their water does contribute to a drainage area - their water has to
drain samewhere. The proposed improvement ia part of a larger district that is
the only large axea in the Ciiy that does not have storm sewer. He is proposing
th�t the water be carried north to Rice Cree}� and disposed of. FridZey has a
cooperative mutual agreement with New Brighton, such as the Stinson Boulevard
improvement. Some of Fridley's water ends up in New Brighton, but on the other
hand some of New Briglzton's water ends up here. On that basis we try to
establish one rate so everyone ends up paying their fair share.
Mr. Shneider said that he must disagree. This improvement is of benefit to
Briardale. The developer purchased the land being fully aware of the problems
and now he'.is filling in nis land, which i.s where the water drains to now.
Therefore, it should be his responsibility to get rid of the water. His
interests are to make a profit and it is not right or just �o make the rest o£
the people pay. In the pasi year he has been assessed for paving Stinson and a
hook-up, now you are talking about another $800 for storm sewer. The developer
is the one that filled in the lana and makes the problem worse, and 2-�e did that
to make a profit, so he should pay for it. He. said he is not aZlowed to change
the water flow on his land, so why is a deve�.oper allowed to? He s.aid his house
was built by the same builder and he arranged to drain his water down into the
area where_B_riardale is going to be.
Mayor Liebl said that all of Fridley is diva.ded up into s�orm sewer. districts.
When a storm sewer dis�rict is created, the bigger it is, the better rates can
be obtained for the improvement project. Eventually everyone in the City of
k'ridley will pay their fair share of so many dollars per 100 squaxe feet, it is
only a matter of when it is done. The City of r^ridley has adopted a procedure
whereby witnin the next 10 years all of the City will have storm sewer and if a
petition is received t:hat represents over SOo of the land area, and requests an
improvement, the Counci� must ar.t upon tne P�tition. It is the City policy that
before any streets are put in, all the utilities have to be in. When the reques�
came in to develcp Briardale, the utilities must come first.

SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING QF FEBRUARY 14, 1972
PAGE 5
Mr. Shneider said he understood the policy, but did not agree with it. Mayor Liebl
asked the City Engineer, if this improvement is put in, will it take care of the
problems on Ferndale? The City Engineer replied that in 1961 the Engineering
Department submitted. a report to the Counci7. on the need for a total system within
this district. At that time the Council chose not to order it in. Since then,
` from time to time, there has been discussion on putting it in. The proposal now
only covers Briardale and just to the west, not the entire district. When the
Briardale plat was before the Council, the discussion was that the builder would
h3ve to put in a holding pond and red tag five lots for the sump. To really take
care of the prob2em, there must be a complete system instaZled. This is to be
considered as a staged construction. The general feeling of the peopZe of the
axea is not to go ahead with the total plan. Mayor Liebl asked if the Council
were to orc�er this improvement in, would it create problems by flooding the people
that live there now, and will the run-off cause problems? The City Engineer said
yes, there is a potential problem in this area because there is not a proper
outlet. Most of the water would be ponded in Briardale and a pond north of Rice
Creek Road. This is only an interim solution and a complete system is needed. I�
Mayor Liebl is asking him the best method, then he must say the complete system
and this proposed improvement must be considered substandard. Mayor Liebl asked
how much the total system would cost and the City Engineer sazd above one million
dollars if it was put in today.
Mr. Theodore Theilmann, 1540 Rice Creek Road, said he thought that there was
already a storm sewer on Rice Creek Road. The City Engineer said when the County
improved the street they put in some catch basins to take care oi the street
run-off only. Mayor Liebl said that could be considered a partiaZ system only.
Mr. Theilmann said that whexe the property drains toward Rice Creek Road, the
water is not going to go backwards into this storm sewer. The City Engineer said
that the improvement the County put in in Rice Creek Road drains toward Central.
They put in catch basins and rather than surface drainage, they put in pipe.
Th�.s wo�k is part of the overall pZan. The system can be divided up anc� done
piecemeal, this is what the City is doing, and each section done will fit to-
ge�her. Mr. Theilmann asked it at some later date a storm sewer system is put
in on Rice Greek Road, would he be assessed again? The Ci.ty Engineer said that
everybody in t�.e area raould be assessed, but if he had paid some assessment, he
would be gzven a credit for the amoun�t he has paid. If you pay now, then you
don't pay Iater, and if you pay a portion now, then you would have to pay the
remaining portion later. The �i-ty Assessor expiained to Mr, Theilmann, who was
confused about the drainage district lines, that for the purposes of an improve-
ment hearing, rough lines are established, later when it is time to levy an
assessment, exac-t lines wi�l be drawn.
A resident livircg on Hillcrest Drive came to the map «nd pointed out where his
property is located, and said he had received a notice, but it did not seem he
would be included. The City Engineer explained, as �he City Assessor has said,
that rough lines are set, and actually notices are sent to more people than will
be affected. It daes not mean that everyone that gets a notice will be assessed.
All that will be established at this point is if the Counci.l should order in the
improvement, this is the first process, the second process would probably be
about a year from now.
Mr. Kenneth Korin, 6051 Benjamin Stx•eet N.E., expressed a great concern that the
street wauld be improved without having proper drainage. Benjamin Strest from
Gardena to 61st is already ordered in, will there be su�face drainage on that
portion? There is a steep hill and the water running clown would rapidly ruin the

street. The City Engineer said that the City will not improve a.street until
�the util.ities are underground. On that stretch o� Benjamin.there is a portion of
storm sewer improvement within the street improvement project to,take care of
sur�ace drainage by pipe so there will not be damage. Councilman Utter said that
Mr. Korin seems to be concerned about the stretch between Ferndale and 61st on
Benjamin. The Storm sewer will be installed on blst� so will there be run-off
by surface? The City Engineer said no, the hearing was held and there will be
pipe under the street to connect to this system now under consideratian. .If
Project'#106 is not ordered in, it would have to go by surface. Councilman
Utter said that the $6.77 figure was quoted, and asked, at the end of Ferndale
there is a triangular piece of land, is this $6.77 based on the size o� the lot
or the amount o£ property involved? The City Engineer said the $6.77 figure is
only for the area within the heavy black lin�s on the map, and does-not affect
these people that are concerned now. The City Assessor added, if there was
10,000 square feet, and only 4,000 square feet were within the 1ine, then only
the 4,OOQ square fe'et would be assessed.
Councilman Mittelstadt said that he had a tew comments to make in reply to Mr.
Shneider. Accoxding to a Supreme Court decision the people on the high ground
must pay the same as the people on the low ground. This ruling was handed
down because of the difficulty municipalities were having in levying assessments,
and means that those on high ground contribute to the district, even thouqh
they do not have any water prob2em. As to his argument �that the builder shouZd
pay, when a builder builds a home for a profit, and when a home is sold, it is
the people that pay that assessment, not the builder, either directly or in-'
directly. Regardless o£ what is done, it is the home owner whn has to pay.
Mr. Shneider said that a contract usually states that the assessments have to
be paid. The Acting City Attorney said that under F.H.A. & G.I. loans, the
assessments have to be paid, but on a conventional loan or a contract for deed,
the purchaser can assurne the assessments. It aIl depends on the type of con-
tract. It was pointed out that even if the builder must pay the assessments,
the purchaser can be assured the assessment costs are within the cost of the
house and the purchaser does, in fact, pay for it. .
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Shneider if he was opposed to the sanitary sewer, water
and storm se�rer iriprov�nent and Mr . Shneide-r replied he was .
Mr. Sam Templin, 6184 Stinson Boulevard, said that if this is not a complete
system, anc3 a question if it is workable, th�n maybe it should noi be assessed
until a workal�le systeam goes in. The City Engineer said that if the whole
system was put in it would be over a million dollars. A good deal of the pro-
perty is not built up and a heavy assessment would be aui.te burdensome. There-
fore, they have chosen to do the work piecemeal, as riecessary, still with �he
total system in mind and with the idea that as the work is done it will all fit
together. There are two choices open to the Counci2; they can provide the drainage
to the north into Rice Creek, or for the time being store water in the lots in
Briardale and not have the outlet. Once the outlet is available the system will
be complete for Briardale only.
Mr. Shneider asked if, when the other assessment goes in, �,rould they have to pay
again? The Czty Engineer explained that if, for instance, a person pays $6.77
on this assessment, then is later assessed $8.27, then th�t person would have to
pay the difference.

SPECIAL PU$LTC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY I4, I972 __ _ PAGE 7
Mr. La,.'2oine Follingstad said that this area is mostly undeveloped. Mayor Liebl
said that the Council did turn down the improvement on ano�ther occasion because
tlie cost would be so much and a good deal of the land was undeveloped. Fridley
wouZd like some Federal money to subszdzze the mains and let the property owners
pay for the laterals. He said he was well aware the Second Ward has tremendous
water problems, some back yards are flooding. If �there was some way to put in
the complete up-to-date storm sewer system, fihe area iaould rapidly develop. Mr.
Follingstad asked if the proposal was to dump a lot more water into the swamp
north of Rice Creek Road. The City Engineer said there are two options open
to the Council, one is the temporary storage pond in Briardale, the other is
ta provide the outlet. The drainage pr,oblems will be accentuated unless the
outlet is pravided.
MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to close the public hearing on Sanitary Sewer,
Wa-ter and Storm Sewer�Improvement Project #106. Seconded by Councilman Utter.

PUE3LTC HEARING ON FINAL PLAT P.S. #71-05, EDGEWATER GARDENS PLAT #2 BY SAM
TEMPLIN: (Generally located in the 6700 block on Ash�on Avenue)
- _ �
Mayor Liebl read the public hearing notice aloud, and the City Engineer showed the
location of the plat on the overhead projector. The proposal is to plat the
existing �ots into five larger lots, which Mr. Templ.in wants to develop into
five building sites. When the hearings were held before the Planning Commission
there were a number of people interested in trying to see if there was any way .
for the City to expand the park just north of this plat. This area is bounded
by East River Road, Mississippi Street and the railroad tracks and the residents
feel this makes a hazardous situation for the children to walk to a park. The
PZanning Commission approved the plat witlz Lot 1(the lot adjacent to the park
land) red tagged with the hope the City could firid some way to acquire the lot.
� Mayor Liebl said that the Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission con-
curred, and asked the City Engineer to point out Lot 1 on the map for the
audience. The City Engineer did so, and said that Lot 1 is made up of the old
Lots I and 2 except the south 10' of Lot 2. Mayor Liebl asked how much land this
� would add to the present park site. The City Engineer said that the area is
140' X 70', or about 10,000 square feet. Mayor Liebl asked if this amount of
land would justify all the costs involve� in purchasi.ng'the lot. The City Engineer
� said the Parks and Recreation Commission did consider this�item, and they would
like to add this land to tha-t to the north to use for additional recreational
facilities, but they did not consider it too seriously because of the amount
' af money involved. The Council would have to find a way to finance this as it
is not in the Parks budget. There has been some discussion that it might be
easier to negotiate an outright acquisition, rather than a trade.
j

Councilman Mittelstadt said that Mr. Robert Swetz, 10 Rice Creek Way, has ex-
pressed the concern, along with other people in the area, that they would like
Lot l added to the park site to the north. It would enhance the hill area and
provide some flat land for some playground equipment. The park land the City
has now is a hill that slopes down to the lake. He said he would not be in.
�avor of t�ading lot for lot�with Mr. Templin, but he would be in favor of
purchasing the lot after platting.

The City Manager said that the City does have a certain amount o,f unallocated
funds for park land. He suggested that tne Administration be allowed to pre-
sent a map showing al2 the areas needing parks, and let the Council use its
judgment in what they would want to purchase this year. He added he could do
this by next meeting. Councilman Mittelstadt agreed and pointed out the need
for a park in the Ruth Circle area. The City Manager addad, also Hyde Park.
The Council should look at the total picture to see how best to spend the
funds.
1 Mr.-D. Schultz said that from FMC to Osborne Road, and from East River Road to
the tracks, where do our children go to play without having to be transported
by their mo�hers? Fridley has a very fine park system, and it would be a very
� nice addition if this bt could be-added, so that the children could get to a
park without hazards.

Mr. Robert Swetz, 10 Rice Creek Way, said that this extra lot would provide a
play area for the children in the immediate neighborhood, and also for people
that canoe down the creek, so it would benefit all of Fridley. People do
utilize this steep bank, both winter and summer, and i� they do not dock here,
the only other places are all residential. If there was a home to be built on
that lot, the people would probably have to build a high fence to keep off the
trespassers. He said he has talked to the majority of people with children
and they are aIl in favor of the extension of the park in this area. He said
the lot has been red taqged by the Planning Commission and he was sure .Ir.
Templin wanted to get started on his venture, but,the people also want the
park . . . . _ . . ' . . _
Mr. Don Sinith, 81 Rice Creek Way, agreec2 anc3 said that an improved park
facility is needed to serve �his large residential area. Mr. Swetz added that
there would be a lot more people up here to speak for a park, but many are sick.
Their sole reason for coming tonight was to expedite the park area for the
immediate neighborhood.

all proposed park Zar�ds and the money involved as soon as possible, so the
City Council can take further action. -
Mayor Liebl called for a second to the motion, received none, therefore, declared
the MOTION DIES for lack of a second.
Councilman Breider sa.id that the normal procedure the Council has been using is
that the public hearing is held, but the Council aoes not come to a decision
until the follo�ring regular meeting. He said he was not necessariZy against
the park, but he would like to see the Ci.ty N:anager bring back a compilation of
possible park lands and the costs first. He �vould not want to red tag the lot
tonight then find there are no funds available to pick it up. He said he,
personally, was committed to getting a p�rk into the kuth Circle area, and he

would like to see the entire study first. Councilman Mittelstadt said that that
is why he specified "temporarily" in his motion. Councilman Breider asked Mr.
Templin if he now owned the lots. Mr. Templin said that the lots are in the
process of being transferred. Councilman Breider said that it wou7.d not be fair
to ask Mr. Templin to hold a lot for a year or two. Councilman Mittelstadt
4 said that he meant �the red tagging to be only until the study is brouqht back
by_the City Manager. At that time the Council could act. This would be in
two weeks. Councilman Utter said that it is the concern of the Parks and
Recreation Commission to look at other properties also. He would not want to
put Mr. Templin in a position of waiting very long. The City Manager suggested
that if Fridley is not ab.le to purchase the lot this year, possibly there could
be an option to acquire it sometime in the future. Mayor Liebl said he would be
agreeable to that, in the meantime Mr. Templin could proceed with his other lots.
Mr. Templin asked if the Council could legally red tag a lot. The City Manager
said that the term "red tag" is used to put a hold on tax forfeit property,
however, this is not the case here because Mr. Templin owns the land in question.
Councilman Breider asked Mr. Templin if this was held up two weeks, would it
hinder him? Mr. Templin replied no. Councilman Bredier said this would give
the City Manager two weeks to compile his report. Mr. Templin commented that he
was not really at a1Z interested in selling the lot. -

SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 1972
FAGE 10
Mr. Maurice Filister pointed out that LaMaur and Downing Box have not supparted
the signalization. ..He said that what he wanted is reapproval of his registered
land survey that was approved in 1969. The City Engineer brought up the signali-
zation; the registered land survey has nothing to do with any signals. He said
that he is very much interested in ge�ting signals for his property.� He always
had heard that signals were coming in this spring, now he hears that signalization
is a iong way off. Mayor Liebl said that Mr, Filister wants signals, the City
feels to solve the problem access is needed to the property to the north of him.
This must be solved to everyone's mutual benefit. This is the same problem as in
1969 - getting the right of way from Mr. Filister the City needs for access and
proper signalization. ,
Mr. Filister said that at no time has anyone asked him for right of way. At no
time has anyone said the City needs access., How is he to know? The City Engineer
said that the minutes include a request for right of way from Mr. Filister. East
River Road is a County Road and the City made their recommendation, so as to the
signals, this is not under the jurisdiction of Fridley. In this area, because
Downing Box and LaMaur were not actively seeking signalization, the request was
giv�n a low priority, therefore, no signal. The solution is for the City to
approve the registered land survey and Mr. Filiste-r to give the right of way,
so it will be there when it is possible to put in the sign�l.
Mr. Filister said thai he did not know e,rhat one thing has ta do Fnti,th th� other.
All he wanted to do was split his land into three parcels. It was approved in
1969. The City Engineer said it was approv�d subject to the right of way de-
dication and read the motion from the Mintues of November 3, 1969. Mr. Filister
asked just what right of way the City wants and the City Engineer replied access
to the north area. Mr. Filister said that he thought thexe wouZd be a semaphore
system for LaMaur and his complex. This was said at the meeting when the Anoka
��r engineers were present. The City Eng?neer said that Mr. Filister's con-
ce�n is to protect his property, but the City must be concerned to pro-tect all
the citizens in that area.
Mayor Liebl asked the City Engineer if t.here was any problem with the registered
, land survey and what was the problem with the dedication of the right of way?
The City Engineer said if a semaphore is provided there would be substantial
cost to the City. This is a mutual problem wzth Mr. Filister and the City. Mr.
Caplan (Mr. Filister's attorney) indicated they would be wiZling to give the
� right of way needed. There is no problem with the registered Iand survey, the
question is if the City would have to pay fo� access for the additional right of
way. Mr. Filister said that whether he gives the land or not, what does that
' have to do with a registered land survey? The Acting City Attorney said that if
the property is split and approval given to the survey, then the property is
covered by three mortga,es. He asked if bir. r^ilister would have the freedom to
� dedicate land to the public. Mr. Filist2r said that he would think that anytime
he were to sell or give land away, he would have to get approval from the mort-
gage company. He said whether it is split or not, it is the same problem. The
Acting City Attorney asked if the three mortgages are on the whole parcel. Mr.
' Filister said no, on each phase of the project. The reason for the requested
split is so that each rnortgage company �aould own the land on which the structure
sits. Thexe are speci�l asse'ssments against the p-roperty and they are on one
� parcel of land rather than three. There are special assessments on 27 acres, but
the City books show they are on 9- 10 acres. NaturaZly the mortgage company
does not like that. �

SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 1972 PAGE 11
Ti�e Acting City Attorney said that the mi.nutes before the Council were written
in 1969. They outline the need for the right of way needed for proper safety
and traffic flow on East River Road. Here it is February, 1972, and sti11 no
right of way. Mr. Caplan said in Z969 that they would be willing to sit down
with the Gity Enqineer and work it out and that they would abide by the deter-
mination of an independent third party. Mr. Filister said that is still true,
he will be willing ta sit down at any time with the City Engineer, but at no
time has he been called in to discuss it. He said he has been fooling around
with this since 1969. He said he hzd talked to the City Assessor many times
and he thought he had everything in order, then 4- 5 months ago he discovered
he needed the registered land survey in proper form to have it registered. He
thought it was a matter of formality to have it done, and now he finds that he
is supposed ta give some right of way. The Acting City Attorney read from the
minutes of November, 1969 which covers the need for the right of way. The City
Engineer added that he couZd dig out minutes from a number of ineetings, and also
letters he had written. How�ver, that is neither here nor there, the problem
before us is the need to solve the problem to everyone's mutual benefit.
Councilman Utter said that it seemed to him that the City mus•t get that dedication.
With the additional building, the traffic problem will get worse, and something
must be done about the access. If the Zand is split now, the City would have
to deal with three mortgage companies. He would Iike this taken care of as
soon a s possible.
It was agreed that Mr. Filister, Mr. Caplan, the City Engineer and the City
Attorney were to try to work somethzng out soon.
Mr. Filister said he would Iike to bring another i�em befare the Council. He
' said he has spent $65,000 -$70,000 in running water and sewer through his pro-
perty, and also putting in a lift st�.tion to take care of the south end of the
property. This has all been done with the approval of the City Engineer and
� according to his recommendati.ons. He has talked to the City Engineer about
taking over the maintenance of the sewer, water and lift staiion. The City
Engineer agxe�d the City should take over the maintenance, however, he believes
, Mr. Filister should be 100% responsible �or any major repairs and the cost of
the maintenance. Mr. Filister contended that the City should take over at City
cost minox and major costs of the sewer, water and lift station. This is an
improvement he had to pu-t in because the sewer and water lines were not built
� adequately to handle his needs, so he had to spend more because the City dici
not do it properly. .
'
�
�J
'
The City Engineer said tha� basically, facilities maintained by the City are
within City right o� way and are built by the City or under City supervision.
In this case Mr. Filister has a large complex aiid the facilities were built by
his own contractor. The lines are between �auildings where it would be difficult
to get to, He said he felt these facilities were built and owned by Mr. Filister.
He compared it to a house, if there is a problem in the street,it is a City
responsibility, but from the street to the house it is the hame owners responsi-
biiity. This is the case here, only on a]arger scale. If the City were to do
as requested here, it would be setting a precident. There axe other Zift stations
in the Ciiy,and if the City mainta�r�ed Mr. Fil.ister's, others would say, "main-
tain mine too", He believed Mr. Filister should pay th� major costs.

Mr. Filister said that he owned 27 acres of land, and he will be the largest
ta�spayer in the City of Fridley, and it is probably 10 time5 as large as anyone
else per acre of land. He felt that paying $300,000 -$400,000 in taxes entitled
- him to the same service as a house down the street. He said he was paying more
than his proportionate share for his service, and this is part of the service the
City should provide for his tax money.
Mayor Liebl asked that this problem be referred to the City Manager, City Engineer,
and the City Attorney, and asked them to come up with a recommendation. He said he,
as a homeowner, is liable for any costs from his house out to the street. Mr.
Eilister said he is willing to�stand anX expense from his buildings down to the
main. Mayor Liebl asked if the City maintains any other lift stations. The City
Enigneer said yes, built by the City. Mayor Liebl asked if his lift station was
built to the specifications af the City. The City Engineer said he checked
the plans, so he would assume,so, he did not physically look at it. Mr. Filister
said that the City uses the same type of lift station he has. He said he was
asking for maintenance of the lift station and water and sewer maintenace. This
is asking no more than what is done for 100� of the people of the City of Fridley.
Councilman Utter asked if the lift station was on his property and Mr. Filister
said yes. The Acting City Attorney said that he has a lift station on his pro-
perty, and if the City maintains Mr. Filister's, he will ask for maintenanae on
his too. Other people with lift stations are paying their share. As far as
talking about a tax break, he would have to talk to the Gounty Assessor.
Mr. Filister said that it seems the City assesses for sewer and water services,
but does not provide maintenance. .
MOTION by Councilman Utter to refer the sewer, water and lift station maintenance,
and the dedication of the riyht of way r.eeded for arcess for `signalization back
to the City Manac�er, City Engineer and the City Attorney for their investigation
and recommen8ation. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all ayes,
Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried.
The Finance Director volunteered to furnish a review of the special assessments
that are levied against his pro��erty.
i .
Mr. Filister said he could not understand why the City Enginesr promised him
signals, riow he hears that they are to be sometime in the future. The City
Engineer said that he would never promise someth.ing he could not deliver. That
determination is up to the County and is under theix\jurisdiction.

RESOLUTIOt3 #27-1972 - A RESOLUTION OFFICIALLY PROTESTING THE 1972 SEWER BII.L FROM
THE METROFOLITAN SEWER DiSTR�GT:

Councilman Utter. �

SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14, 1972 PAGE 14
_.
The City Manager explained that the purpose,o� this resolution is that it is felt
that until this matter of the 1971 sewer bill is finalized, the City of Fri,dley
- shouZd lodqe an official protest of the 1972 bill, so that if the matter of
assessme�tt of penalties for delinquency of the bill comes up, Fridley will be on
record as having an official protest in.
Mr. Jim Gibson said that in the early '6Qs they said some things that were going
to happen and they are already way over what they said. At that time he estimated
that it.will probably come to pass that it would be four times what they said
and he has been proven right. At that time he estimated that the sewer bill would'
be about $15 per quarter, and now it is'pretty close. He was sure that if the
people knew about this situation they would be up in arms about it, but people
are too nonchalant.� Mayor Liebl said that the Sewer Board can levy a mill rate
upon the people �nd they will pay it through their property t�es if the City
refuses to pay the sewer charges. The purpose is to solve the sewer problems
properly so that our waters are clean. There are Federal funds allocated, and
businesses must comply with the requirements, or they will be shut down.

RESOLUTION #2$-1972 - A RESOZUTION REQUESTING SCHOOL DISTRICTS #11, 13 ANb 16
TO CONSIDER CHANGE OF SCHOOLS' NAMi�5:
MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt Resolution #28-1972. Seconded by Council-
man Utter. '
Mayor Liebl questioned whether it would be proper to tell the schools something
such as this. Councilman Breider said the wording of the resolution is not a
directive, it is onZy a request. The reason is that the way the school districts
are set up, a studeni in Fridley may go to Spring Lake Park High School, the same
is true of the other districts. It would make more sense for a student to go to
a school with a name, so that a student from anothex city would xetain their
identity.

DISCTJSSION REGARDING T.H. #47 INTERSECTIONS WITH OSBORNE ROAD AND MISSISSIPPI
STPIEET AND T.H. #65 INTERSECTIONS WITH CENTR�IL AVENUE AND 53RD AVENUE:
The City Engineer said that these intersertions have safety problems and are in
need of improvement. He would like to get the ideas from the Council on what to
present to the Highway Department.
T.H.�#47 and Osborne Road Interseciion
The City Engineer said that when the Council approti=ed tt�e rezoning for American
Oil they did discuss some additional lanes. The plan is to provide dividers on
Osborne Road on both sides of T.H. #47, and provide thres lanes coming onto the
highway and two off. The plan in the Agenda on Page #14 shows the attempt.to

try to improve tra£fic €low. They have put in right turn yield lanes for this
reason. The divider on Osborne Road on the east side will eliminate people being
able to come off the Service Road and get onto University Avenue. They wi11 have
to turn right only. He added that every time tYiere is a compromise on a plan for
greater safety, some degree of safety is lost, and in this case there will be an
inconvenience to some people. .
Gouncilman Breider said that it seems that on these plans everything is aimed at
facilitating right turns - what about the left turns?� This is where the problem
is. The City Engineer explained that there will be provided enough room to
stap and stack. Naturally the best solution would be to have directional signals
for left turns, but the Highway Depart�ent turned down Fridley on the Mississippi
Street intersection, so they would never approve them for the Osborne Road
intersection which has less traffic. Councilman Breider said that he did not
understand what the Highway Department uses as criteria. A person t.,rying to make
a left turn off Mississippi Street really gets hung up in the traffic, and at
the most,- during rush hours, only. two cars can get through. Why put in right
turns, when it i.s the left turns that are the problem? The City Engineer said
this is very true, but the proposal works within what the Sta-te will allow,
and sorts out the people into different lanes. Left turn arrows are only pro-
vided when the traffic reaches a certain volume. The arrows have been requested,
but they were turned down. Councilman Breider asked what if the City could get
left turn arrows approved at a later date? The City Engineer said it could
still be done, there is enough space. Councilman Breider said that on Osborne
Road and T.H. #47 there is no problem with right turns, but the left turns are
bad. This plan would not help that situation. The City Engineer said he
realized that, but he could not help it. The next best thing would be to divide
up the traff_ic into three lanes. .

The City Engineer said that this interseciton is the`same as the one on Osborne
Road and the plan is shown on Page #14A. The plan shows a right turn yield lane
and he would recommend increasing the median.in front of Recl Owl.. For the right
turn yield lane, the City would need right of way from Red Owl and this would be
costly, and he would like to know the Council's feelings on whether he should try
to negotiate, condemn, or do nothing and only put in the right turn yield on the
west side. Councilman Breider asked if he was recommending extending the right
turn lane back to the end of the Red Owl parlcing lot. The City Engineer said
yes, and added that this would take some of their parking lot and would be very
expensive. The City Manager said this is a County Road, who is resnonsible for
the-impro�ement? The City Engineer said the County will participate in the improve-
inent, but the acquisition of the right af way could be a City responsibility.

SPECIAL PUSLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 14,_ 1972 PAGE 16
Councilman Utter said that a number of people have complained about trying to
walk across on the "Walk" sign. If the cars are making right turns, wouldn't
that make matters worse? What has been the fatality, and what about an overpass?
The City Engineer said that once the traffic is sorted out, there would be less
conflicts. As to the overpass, that would be about $5Q,000 -$60,000. Council-
man Breider asked how the overpass in Columbia iieights was paid for. The City
Engineer said that Columbia Heights paid a portion, but he did not know if it
was �S or �. Councilman Breider said that Councilman Utter brought up a valid �
point. Most of the complaints are from pedestrians trying to get across. The
City Engineer said that the other choice would be not to have an island and that
would make a much wider space for a peclestrian to try to get across. A person
walking would still be crossing three Ianes, the only differencg would be that
there would be an island. The island would be about 5' and would have the curbs
depressed. Mayor Liebl said that another problem with University is with the
synchronization of the signals. On the cross streets a car has to sit a long
time, and-there is not much time when the light does change.
Councilman Breider wondered how much an overpass would eost versus the acquisition
' of land from Red Owl for the right hand turn. The City Enqineer said that there
would still be the�traffic problem. Councilman Breider said that the difficulty
comes from people trying to make left turns at the same time the pedestrians
' are �ryinq to-get across the highway, then when the liqht turns green, they are
both in a hurry because the 2ight is green such a short time. It comes down to
priorities - pedestrian or vehicular? The fence was put up to channel the foot
traffic down to the lights, but he has come to believe it would be safer to take
� one's chances at crossing somewhere along the highway. The City Engineer said •
that there are a n.umber of locations where a pedestrian overpass would be
desirefl. There a're more vehicular accidents than pedestrian accidents. Council-
' man Breider said that•he would still like to look into the pedestrian problem
first and added, as an example, that if he were making a left hand turn and a
child was suddenly in front of him, he would hit the brakes so he did not hit
the pedestrian, then the car behind him would hit the back end of his car. This
' would be called a vehicular accident, but it was caused by a pedestrian.
�
,
�
'
'
'
The City Engineer said that he would ask far the foot bridge and asked the Council
if they concurred with the median being extended and the Council replied yes. It
was pointe d out that since Stav's Superette moved his fxont door to �the back, it
has eliminated a lot of the traffic trying to come across Mississippi to get
onto University Avenue. Mayor Liebl said that he woizld say that the Red Owl
land should not be condemned, it may be found that it would be more costly than
a bridge. There is no great problem now with cars going north. Councilman
Utter said that as it is now, the're cars trying to get out of Red OwI onto
Mississippi, and they cannot because the cars are blocking the driveways. The
Acting City Attorney suggested that authority could be given to try to negotiate
the acquisition of the land, then that cost could be compaxed to an estimate
for the bridge. . ,
Mayor Liebl said that when the loopbacks wexe put in tt�ere were many people that
complained and thought it was a stupid move. He taould like to know just how
many lives were saved ar_d if t�:e reduction in accidents was justified by �the
cost of the improvement. The City Engineer sa.id that it is difficult to say what
would have happened if they were not put in, bu.t there is no question they had
an impact. When there are that many conflicts at one intersection, there are
more chances for accidents to happen, and when one chance is removed, there must
be a decrease. On the other. hand, traffic has increased, so it would be difficult

to say., He has talked to traffic"engineers and Fridley has been praised for
their efforts, as a matter of fact, they are called "The Fridley Moons".
Councilman Breider suggested concurring in..the plan, with the addition that the
foot bridge be looked into for the purposes of cost comparison, and be given high
priority, and if necessaxy in lieu of the third lane. ��
T.H. #65 and Central Avenue Intersectian
The City Engineer said that the plan is outlined on Page #14B. With the develop-
ment of Innsbruck North, there will be some 800 more dweZZing units that wi11
exit at this intersection. The traffic from Innsbruck is directed to Hillwind
Road to get onto Central and T.H. #65. Over the past year he has worked With
Union Oil to get the right of way. They have shown an indication they will give
the right of way the City needs if the City can get the State to vacate some of
their right of way,. and if an opening is left tor their gas station. He said he
has also worked with the County and the State for better traffic flow. With the
limited possibilities open, this is about the best they can come up with. �
Councilinan Utter asked if there would have to be some land acquired from pro-
perty owners. The City Engineer said very little, from two par'ties. Councilman
Sreider asked if there was any thought given to working with the Drive-In for
more stacking. That intersection is a nighttnare from abaut 7:00 to 8:30_P.M.
when there is a popular movie playing. The City Engineer said that this inter=
section is subject to peak situations. At some times there are 500 cars within
� hour. There is very li.mited space available. Councilman Breider 'asked if he
had any sugqestions on what can be done during these peaks. The City Engineer
said that the City could require the Drive-In to provide some traffic control
people. Councilman Breider asked that the City Prosecutor work on that. It was
pointed out that the S�tate has provided men on occasion. The City Engineer said
that an intersection could never be designed for every optimum time of usage.
T.H. #65 and 52nd and 53rd Avenue Intersections
The City Engineer said that he was suggesting curbing between 53rd and 52nd
Avenues, and putting in additional lanes on 52nd Avenue. The problem here is
limited right of way. On 53rd there is an additian of lanes so there wonld be
two goinq onto 53rd Avenue and three coming off onto T.H. #65. The divider
by Embers is only to-divide the traffic and sort them out into proper lanes.
There is no problem with right of way at this intersection - all the right of
way to be acqui.red is in Columbia Heights. -
MOTION by Councilman Bxeider to authorize the City Engineer to begin
negotiations for any necessary right of way for the four intersections pre-
sented, and concur with the outline on Page #14. Concerning the plan on Page #14A,
to instruct the City Engineer to negotiate the cost of the right of way from Red
OwZ for the right turn Zane, for the purposes of comparison in price to the cost
of a foot bridqe, with priority to be given to the foot bridge, and to concur
with the extension of the divider on the east side of T.H. #47 on Mississippi
Street. He also moved to concur with the pZan presented on Page #14B and #14C.
Seconded by Councilman Mittel.stadt. Upon a voice vote, aIl ayes, Mayor Liebl
declared the motion carried.•

- APPROVAL OF POLICE DEPARTMENT REORGANIZATION:
MOTION by Counci].man Mi.ttelstadt to receive the memorandum from the City Manager
dated February 10, 1972, subject: Police Department Reorganization. Seconded
by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion
_ _ ..
, carried. _ _
Mayor Liebl asked the City Manager to elaborate on the proposed reorganization.
The City Manager said that the proposaZ is summarized iri the copies of the press
xelease he had supplied to the Council. The major change is the addition of
the position of Assistant City Manager/Public Safety Director. This would not
bE�a Civil Service position, but would be directly responsible to the City Manager.
Tl:is man would assume overall responsibility for the Department. The Chief .of
Po?ice would then devote full time to the areas of police research, development
and implementation of a crime prevention program, training, public relations,
liaison and coordination with`other law enforcement agencies. Intergovernmental
cooperation in the law enforcement field has grown in recent years and has now
reached the point where it is necessary for a person to be free of other res-
. . .
ponsibilities to be able to devote full time to these duties. He would then be
free to work more closely with the Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council.
Chief McCarthy, by virtue of his long experience in the law enforcement field,
is particulaxily well qualified to assume this responsibility.
The City Manager continued that the reorganization provides for thr�e divisions
under the.Assistant City Manager/Public Safety Director; patrol, investigation ___.�
and communications.� The patrol division, being the largest element, will be t
coininanded by a lieutenant, and assisted by four shift sergeants.: The investi-
gation division is a three man unit and will be commanded by a sergeant. '
Civilian cqmmunications personnel who do the dispatching for the department will
continue to report to the department head. In the Iine of authority you would
have three divisions who would report to the Assistant City Manager/Public Safety
Di^�ector. This man, in addition to these police department duties, would be an
assistant to the City Manager in specified areas as described in the job des-
cription. The total cost of this reorganization is estimated at $21,768 which
would not only include the addition of tl�e new man, but also reclassification of
one Police Officer to Police Sergeant, and the recruitment costs. This cost can
be largely affset by not fillinq the position in the Parks.budget of a maintenance
man and a police officer vacancy. The Park position was approved in -the budget,
then Fridley secured the services at no cost of one Park laborer through the
County sponsored Emergency Employment Act Program. There is a vacancy in the
Police Department now, and if these two positions were not fillzd �'uring I972,
the cost would be offset by $16,062. The Council should decide whether to approve
a transfer of $14,706 and withhold filling the Park position or apnrove a trans�er
of $5,706 and withhold filling fhe Park position and the Police Officer positions.

APPROPRIATIONS WIfiHiPd THE GENERAL FUI�tD {pOI,ICE DEPAkT�'?�P,T REORGANIZATION) :

Councilman Breider said that he made his motion partially because he has served
on the Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council, and there are serious studies
going on at the present time for the seven county area. The Joint Law Enforce-
ment Counci7, is trying to achieve maximum public protection without a metro-
politan form of government. Their purpose is to supply Anoka County with a
system of poZice trazning, communications, etc. to bring the communities together
on a regional basis so. that the resources can be pooled. It is getting to the
point where it really requires someone very knowledgeable to handle this, and
under the reorganization plan, Chiei McCarthy would be free to handle this end.
Having an effective Joint Law Enforcement Council will serve to keep a metro-
politan police force away. .
Mayor Liebl said thank you to the City Manager for the many hours he has put in
on this project and also the City Council for their cooperation and honest opinions.
This has been d,one for the benefit of the community for a more efficient and
thorough police force. He asked if the new sergeant in charge of the investigation
division would have to be approved by the Civil Service Commission. The Acting
City Attorney said that in the past the investigators have been taken from the
regular patrolmen, and that was up to the Chief of Police. At any time they could
be taken off the investigation division and put back on patrol. The new Assistant
City Manager/Public Safety Director would have five sergeants, one of whom wauld
head up the Investigation Bureau as part of his duties. If the Assistant City
Manager/Public Safety Director would want to put another man in, he con7.d. If
it was made a permanent position, there would have to be tests given and the
criteria set out.
Sergeant Allard said that it seemed there �aould have to be more incentive, such '
as a raise in pay. The Acting City Attorney said that the tests would probably
have to be thrown'open to all that wanted to try for it. Mayor Liebl said that
then a patrolman; af.ter so many years of service, could bid up. The Acting City
Attorney said that the City Manager is suggesting there be five sergeants, the
new man could select one of the five to handle the detective bureau. The
City Manager said that that would not be a permanent duty, he could be rotated,
and if someone is found to be especially skilled, he could be left in the position.
Councilman Mittelstadt said that the effect of the motion on the iloor is that
� the City Manager is to be the acting head of the Police Department immediately
untiZ the new position_is filled.

Mr. fdasim N. �ureshi
City Engineer
' 6431 University Avenue IVortheast
Fridley, P1innesota 55421 �
Dear Nasim: � �
In re-Fer^ence to your m�mo concerning the Norti� Storii� Se��re•r Projeci: and the erosiQn
problems alor�g the East River P,oad I have researched the pro�lems of overlappinc�
jurisdiction on these Creeks and have discussed the mat�er with Mr. Nessb�.arg, the
Deputy �1t�orney Ger�eral assigned to the h1innesota Conservation Departmen� Division
of 4daiers . � '
Of course the overall solution is so;�e�vi�at dependent on the No��th Storm Se�.er �
� Projeci:,. the outco�le oi' the Spring La4;e Park ia��fsuit and the amour�t of money Fridley
4ri11 have available to take corrective act�c�n on the erosion. �
The other problem u�rnich did not appear to me to be legai but one of legislative
discretion is v�i�ether or not th� improving o�` these Creek� is for the public bene�it
of the majority of the citizens of Fridley ���ho use these Creeks for recreational
purposes or v�hether the imp��ovement is for the private benefit oi the adjoining lot
o�t��ers. To th� extent that thA storm se���er drainage h�s been increased and is not
the natural f 1 ot�i o-F storm �;�aters that the Ci ty of Fri dl ey has some abl i gati on to the
residents for erosion problems created but to the extent that the erosion is caused
by the normal i'low of storm aaaters then this becomes a private p•robiem for the
adjoining o�.mers Yl1�:{10U� obligation of the City unless- it desires to assurne that obliga�
tion.
In reiei�ence to ihe questions raised in yaur m°mo, the Minnesota Conservaf;ion
Department Division of U►aters does have jurisd�iciion over these watet��rays and ro
improvement or change in the course, current or cross section ofi these ���aterv�ays can
be accompl i shed �vi thout a���ri tten perini t from the Comr�i ssi oner . Therefore Fri ci7ey
can not do any type ofi pennanent co►istructi on on �hese watert•rays ��ai thout such a
pennit bui; the per�nit is not dift�icult to obtain. Tne application procedure is sirnple
and the time is fairly st�ort for approval. Although the State has jurisdiction and
you must obtain pen»ission to pet°forrr ihe work, the State does not have any funds
`.. - .

available for the �vork and does not have any meihod of obtaining easements.
'. Therefore once the permit is obtained froni the State Conservation Department ,
it would be up to tf;� City to condemn easemen�s or obtain permission frorn the
I o�mers for the movement of heavy equipment the samQ as any other public
I improvement.
�,` The Ci ty �raoul d not have the ri ght to �r�ork� on pri vate property vri thout ei ther
- easements or V�ri tten permissl on from the adJoi m ng o��mers and �he State can not
' ' grant thai permission. _
� I hope the above hGs resolved the legal ramifications o-F the improvement of the �
' erosion problems.
Perhaps �,�hen the Spring Lake Park lawsuit is resolved and the North Storm Sev�er
Project is constr�ucted sane of these prohlems v�aill be a7leviated and maybe the
' .City will th�n have at least remed�ed the aggravation of the situation caused by
the dumping of more than a natural amount of stor�n s�rater.
' It v,�ould occur to me that once this is done the o�r�ners have so�7�e obiigat�ons to
improve their oL�m shore lines to prevent natural erosion.

MEMBERS ABSENT; White
OTHERS PRESENT; Peter Herlofsky, Planning Assistant
MOTION by Tonco to approve the minutes of the January 13, 1972
meeting as written.
Seconded by Lindblad, Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously. "
1.. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUES� Z'0 CONSTRUCT A YARD OFFICE AND CABOOSE
SERVICING BUILDING AND AN AUXILIARY SERVICE BUtLbING AND�ALSO
PHASE I OF A DIESEL TOCOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP, ALSO REQUESTED IS
CONCEPT APPROVAL OF THE ENTIRE DIESEL LOCOMOTTVE REPAIR SHOP.
�PHASE I AND PHASE II ) ALL TO BE LOCATED ON LOTS 1, 2, 3 AND
4, $LOCK 5, AtTD LOTS 8, 9, AND 10, BLOCK 4 PORTION OF STREET
BETWEEN BI�OCKS 5 AND 4, BERLIN ADDITION, AND BLOCKS 4, 5, 6, 11,
12 AND 13, AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION ��'39, THE SAME BEING 4Q55 EAST
RIVER ROAD N.E.� FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 554�2, (REQUEST BY BURLINGTON
NORTHERN 176 EAST 5TH STREET, ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101,
Mr. A. C, Cayou was present to present the request. He said the
' pZans the Board had were for Phase T and Phase II combined, He
brought the plan for Phase I, only, with him to the meeting, He
just had one set of plans. Mr. Tonco told him to bring two addi-
, tional sets to the Building bepartment as a total of three sets
��ere required, The entire diesel shop wi1Z have a 320 foot iront,
a depth of 208 feet and a maximum height of 50 feet, Phase I
' will be 84 feet by 320 feet. It will be used to service locomotives.
They will sand, fuel, water, and make running repairs.
'
,
,
'
Mr. Tonco asked what the exterior finish would be. Mr. Cayou said
it would be a metaZ building, a pre-finished textured panel in a
creamy yel2owyand concrete block. He said he couldn't give the
exact description of the material as they didn't have a builder yet.
Mr. Tonco requested that when they decide on the metal material to
be used that a sample be brought into the Building Department for
approval, Mr. Cayou agreed. Mr. Cayou said the concrete block
would match the metal finish. They didn't know if they wouZd use
colored block or paint the block to match. The east wall would be
all concrete and would be the fire wall when Phase II was completed
in 1975. Mr. Tonco requested the Building Inspector check on the
8" bl.ock used with structural steel on the back wall. This request
was made because of the height of the building.
, Mr..Zeglen said the plan has cxu�,hed rock parkii;g lot-s. The Fridley
Zoning Ordinance calls for blacktop in all parking areas so the crushed
rock wouldn't be allowed. We also require poured concrete curbing

around a11 blacktop areas. The Board al.so felt the parking areas should
be striped so they would know how many parking spaces they had and it�
would eliminate haphazard parlcing in the parking lots. Mr. Iierlofsky
said the plan sho�aed parking area up to the property line. Fridley
requires alI parking to be twenty feet from the property Zine. This
would elirninate some of their parking area but they would have an area
for landscaping on East River Road, The Board requested they bring in
a landscaping plan for East River Road find they would check the parking
requirements at that time to see if they were adequate.
Mr. Zeglen asked about trash disposal, if they would use dumpsters, and
if they would be stored inside. Mr. Cayou said they would be using some
sort of dumpster or large container and he thought they would be stoxing
outside for commercial pick-up. Mr. Tonco said if there was an�y trash
stored outside of the dumpster or contazner Chey would be required to
provide outside screening. The Building Inspector will check on this
and any trash spread around would not be allowed.
Mr. Zeglen asked about security lighting. Mr Cayou said he thought
there would be fZood light towers and some form of street lights. Mr.
Tonco said they had to be sure no security lights were reilecting back
into the residential area. He also said when the electrical engineer
had the plan for the security lighting ready they should present it to
the Building Standards Board.
----_. _ _ _ _ __ _
Mr. Cayou said the yaxd ofiice and caboose servicing building will be a
� steel frame and masonry building. It will be colored or painted block
to match the diesel locomotive repair shop. Mr. Tonco said he noticed
some paneled glass on the plan. Mr. Cayou said there would be glass
� weld panels on the east and west exterior but the south and north
exteriors would be plain. The roof will have flashing trim.
�
Mr. Tonco said they have an equipment door on the third floor. Mr. Cayou
said they have a relay signal system, radio shop, air conditioning
equipment and other electrical equipment on this iloor and they wanted
.' a door to deliver and replace this equipment as needed. Mr. Cayou said
this building would be used by yard workers and switch crews but tuostly
by road crews.

Mr. Tonco asked about trash disposal for this building. He said the same
requirement as for the diesel locomotive repair shop was necessary, and if
the trash was spread around we would insist upon a screened area.
Mr. Cayou said they also wanted to construct an auxiliary service building
that wi11 be 24 ft by 80 ft by 14 feet in height. This building will have
metal panels to match the diesel locomotive repair shop. It wi11 have a
lo*.v pitched roof. Thi.s will be used for storage of all types of oil and
all the tanks would be buried, It would house the steam generators and
the compressors and auxiliary generators. It has to be finished at the
same time as the other buildings. Mr. Tonco asked if this would be a
fireproo� building. After being told it would be, he told Mr. Cayau that
�A
' ��

- _ _ _ _
_ no permits could be issued for this building until the plans had been
submitted to this B�ard. Mr. Cayou said there was one other additional
building they wanted to construct at the same time so they would be
back with both plans•
, Mr. Zeglen said Fridley required a 10 foot radius on all corners and a
poured 6" x 12" curbing. The board felt the traffic pattern was hard
to follow on the plan and the traffic pattern should be calZed to the
attention of the Engineering Department. The Board also wants the
' Engineering Department a�aare of the sewage probl�m of waste oi].. Mr.
Cayou said their environmental engineers are working an this problem.
,
'
'
,
The B.oard also was concerned that curbing or some barrier be insta?Zed
at the foot of the ber m where the parking lot is located. The berm is
approximately 100 foot high in some areas and comes down at a 45° angle
and the dirt could wash down.
MOTION by Tonco to recommend to the City Council approval of the request
to construct a yard office and caboose servicing build� and Ph�.se I o�
a diesel locomotive repai'r sho and con"��pt-�agp"roval of the enti"r d e§e1
loc`�-�otive repair shop. hase I and Phase II). The plans �or the auxil-
iary service building have to be presented to,Building Standards before �
any permits can be issued for construction. This approval has the following
stipulations;
' 1. All parking areas to be blacktopped. '
2. Landscaping plan for East River Road to be brought to Building
Standards-Design Control meeting.
3. Lighting plan to be brought to Building Standards-Design Control
' meeting.
4. Traffic pattern to be checked by Engineering Department.
5. Sample of building material to be used brought to Building Inspector.

� Mr. Wo G. (Fred) Housenga, Districr 'dngineer of the Anierican Oil Company,
was present to present the request. Mr. Housenga said the company had
owned this property since 1956 or 1959 and thought it was time to develop
it. Two 60" St, Paul water mains go under the property. These had to
' be covezed with 20 foot wide mats 8 inches thick with 2 inch r.einforced
steel, Mr. Zeglen asked about the blacktop bettiaeen the concrete mats.

Mr, Herlofsky mentioned the 15 foot easement given to the City, Thirteen
feet of this will be roadway so the entrances to the station would have
to be moved back this distance. Mr. Tonco said there was a 10 foot radius
on corners of the driveways.
Mr. Housenga had an artist's drawing of the service station, with trees
planted along the rear of the building. Mr. Zeglen said they wanted
these trees to be evergreens. They also wanted some 1ow plantings in the
green area in the f:cent of the building.
Mr. Tonco asked about security lighting. Mr, Housenga said the back
wall of the�station would not have any opening of any kind so they
weren`t going to have any lights there. There would he trao security
lights inside the station that would be left on at night. This was
sati�factory to the Board, Mr. Tonco said some residents of the area
were opposed.to the service station because of the li_ghting and the
lights from cars. Mr. Housenga said the lighting around the roof of
the station would a11 be indirect lighting. The Board remembered that
one resident who was opposed to the service station had asked the Eompany
tp plant shrubbery on his property as a screen from car headlights. The
Board felt it was a better policy to have the Company eliminate the problem
as much as possible on their own property. Upon checking the position
of the driveways and the projection of headlights coming from the
driveway it was decided if the right hand turn lane could be adjusted
the headlights wouldn't shine directly onto any certain property,
The plan Mr, Housenga brought in tonite shows a 8 foot by IZ foot trash
enclosure. The Board requested this to be 6 foot in height.
Mr. Herlofsky said the parking lot on the east side of the building
would have to be moved back 5 feet to mee t the zoning ordinance.
__ . _
Mr. Housenga said the building would be reddish bur�= with a charcoal
gray mans��rd roof of aluminum shingle.
Mr. Tonco asked if they had trouble maintaining the green areas. Mr.
Housenga said once the sod took hold it maintained quite we11.
Mr. Zeglen reminded Mr. Hosenga that the outdoor sign was limited to
10 feet to comply �vith our sign ordinance.
Mr. Housenga asked if the water from the roof could be drained through
' the building into the sanitary sewer or if it had to drain into the
ground. The Board said this would be checked into and he would get
his answer at the Council meeting.

Plannin�gz Commis�ion Mee_ting - February 9, 1972 Pa�e 2
Mr. Schmedeke said that he hadn't changed his mind since the last meeting
. regarding U-Haul trailers being parked in service stations. He had checked with
. a number of people and the majority would prefer to have the U-Hau1 people come
in as a separate business and operate as a separate enterprise. He did not think
the Commission should be cluttering up the service stations with this type of
activity. He knew of a man who was a trailer rental operator and did a great busi-
Y� ness. He didn't think the Fridley service stations are designed or planned to
. ' acco�odate trailers. There is a trailer rental on 50th Avenue and University, so
that a person would not have to go too far to rent a trailer. He would favorably
consider an application from U-Haul for a separate place of business. On 61st
Avenue and University there was an EZ Haul in the service station. The station
was told to move the trailers which they did. If U-Haul is•allowed to come in,
pretty soon the service stations will be in the rental business. That is something
we do not need.
Mr. Minish asked if there were any stations with special use permits granted
to rent trailers. Mr. Clark answered there is one Gulf Station on 73rd Avenue and
Central Avenue, which was actually a relocation, and happens to be U-Haul, and the
Commission will be getting a request from them very soon. The other one is on
62nd Avenue and Highway ��65, the Texaco Station across from the bowling alley.
The Texaco station was in business before the ordinance required the special use
permit.
Mr. Minish then asked that if, when you move, is the grandfather clause no
' longer in effect? If that is so, why are the people on 73rd and Central allowed
a special privilege? Mr. Clark said these are the people who will be coming in
within a few weeks asking for a special use permit.
u
'
�
�
'
Asked about other companies applying, Mr. Clark said Ryder Truck might apply
at Osborne Road and Highway ��47 and EZ Haul will be applying at 61st Avenue and
Highway 4�47. .
Mr. Zeglen said that he, too, agreed that the U-Haul is a business in itself.
fle would not have any objections if they occupied a place of business of their
own, but if you let one trailer rental in, you have'to let another. Some are
going to be busy, some not so busy. •
Mr. Minish said the City has an ordinance that caas drafted with minimum
criteria. They tried to get away from storage on service station property. There
seems to be very Iittle difference between this operation and saZe of camping
trailers. He felt that they should have either an arbitrary restriction or a
separate location for the operation.
Mr. Rummel arrived and Acting Ck►airman Fitzpatrick e�lained to him that
' the item under consideration was the request for U-Haul trailer permits. The
gist of the sfiatements so far has been tfiat several of the Commissioners would
'
'
'
' �
not have any ob�ections to a business of this kind operating individually as
its own business rather than renting out to a service station, and another state-
ment was that there is a question if this kind of permit is issued would it set
a pattern. We would have a number of the same kind of requests from other companies.
That pretty much summarizes the discussion at this point.

Planning Commissi.on Meeting - Fehruary 9= 1972 Page 3
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that even though the public hearing has been closed,.if
there is anything new or pertinent, the Commission will hear it at this time.
Mr. Rummel said that in order to run a business strictly on a rental of
U-Haul trucks and trailers, it is virtually impossible unless you have a huge
operation -- 50 pieces of equipment or more and a volume turn over on that type
of equipment. Otherwise it is not economically possible to run it. Strictly on
that type of business, U-Haul has found in the 25 years they have been in business,
it does not work out. Where they put in a limited number of pieces of equipment
in the service station, and where the equipment can be serviced by the operator,
it gives the operator additional income. Going to the other way, it has not worked,
otherwise he was sure U-Haul would be renting the trailers themselves. They have
tried it in some locations and have gone out of business. In the seven years he
has represented them in this metropolitan area, they have had the same type of
control either through leasing or special use permit. Through controls, there has
been screening, designated area where equipment is being kept. With these controls,
if there were violations, the rental contract can be closed. They have controls
• with the contract, too.
They realize problems will come up even with controls as with any type of
business, not just service stations. There have been 3 or 4 stations that have
been cZosed down by U-Haul.
Mr. Schmedeke said he did not think any of the members of the Commission were
trying to pick on U-Haul in any sense of the word. When a permit for a station
comes in, the people applying never tell us that they are going to put in U-Hau1.
So we have felt we are not interested going into that type of thing. We are not
picking on your company. You have a franchzse on 50th Avenue, one in the oth�er
end of the City and another under the grandfather clause.
Mr. Rummel said he would not disagree with that viewpoint. If an operator
could, under a special use permit, screen off the area, and the station is not
a messy operation, he did not see where this is really too objectionable. It
is the individual operator who lives in the City who wants to make a living
operating a station. He has got to meet the overhead and wants to make a living.
He can pick up some additional income this way and it can make the difference of
being in business. You may feel you have too many sCations, but I assume you
would not like to have a lot of them shut down and sitting there vacant.
Mr. Zeglen said that the station on SOth Avenue was, the last time he was
there, a mess -- trailers were moved all over the place. He did not know what
kind of inspection U-Haul has, but this situation could hapgen any place.
, Mr. Rummel was asked if it would be possible to put the trailers under a roof.
He answered that U-Haul is trying to offer a service to people-where they can go
ahead and economically move themselves. They can`t be put under a roof, it would
be too expensive.
'
'
�
'
Mr. Minish said that one point which has some validity and the Commission
should be concerned, was the idea this is a service to the community for others
besides U-Haul. In considering tkee granting o€ these requests, he wondered if
they w�re tabled until after there were requests by others.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said that along the Zines o€ the opening statement, he
agreed and rejected the idea that we can assume our neighboring suburbs will

supply the service. We have tried to set up a criteria for the operation of filling
stations and we might be one of the first to reverse this recommendation.
It was noted there were three requests for U-Haul., one request would be coming
in for EZ Haul, and there probably will be one coming in for Ryder Trucks.
MOTION by Schrnedeke, seconded by Minish, that the Plann�ng Commission recom-
mend to Council approval of the continuous use of Don's Gu1f 5ervice for gasoline
sales, under the request of a Special Use Permit, 5P #71-17, on the Easterly 351
feet of Lot 12 and Easterly 351 feet of the 5outherly 20 feet of Lot 11, Auditor's
Subdivision #155 except that part taken for highway and street purposes, per Code
Section 45.I01, 6, 3-E, zoned C-2S. Upon a voice vote, a1Z voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Commission recom-
ment denial to the Council for that part of the 5pecial Use Request by Don's Gu1f
Service Station, SP #7.Z-17, for the rental of U-Hau1 trailers on the Eas�erly
351 feet of Lot•12 and EasterZy 35Z feet of the Sautherl� 20 feet of Lot 11,
Auditor's Subdivision #155 except that part taken for highway and street purposes,
per Code Section 45.101, 6, 3-E, zoned C-2S. Upan a voice vote, a1I voting aye,
the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Minish asked if this denial would refer to this specific situation or to
all requests. Wl�en a building permit is issued for a service station in Fridley,
he was sure they do not have this type of use in mind. Most stations do not
have enough parking space for trailers. If this request is O.K.'d, they will get
at least two other Gulf Stations demanding similar treatment. In Don's Gulf the
proximity to Target Store and all the traffic on 53rd Avenue during the rush hours
would not be desirable.
Mr. Rummel added that as to the reasons given, you might consider this, whether
or not you consider it valid enough. Every community that he has been where a
conditioned use or lease has been allowed, U-Haul can't encroach upon the off
street parking necessary for the station. The stations have been given so many
parking spaces for employee cars, cars being serviced and that area can't be
used for parking by U-Haul equipment. U-Haul reali2es when they apply for an
application, they were not going to get into a Iocation where there isn't room to
allow for the off street for the station itself. It won't work out because it is
encroaching and over crowding.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission recom-
� mend approval of that part of the Special Use Permit, 5P #71-18, b� Ron's Gu1f
Service 5tation to the Council for the continuous use of Ron's Gu1f Service
Station as an gasoli.ne outlet on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, C. D. Hutchinson Addition
1 per Code Section 45.101, B, 3-E, zoned C-2, Upon a voice vo�e, a.21 voting aye,

Planning Commis.sion Meeting - February 9, 1972 Page 5
UPON A VOICE VOTE, Zeglen, Schmedeke voting aye, Minish and Fitzpatrick voting
nay, the MOTION FAILED.
Mr. Minish said he felt different about this station because of the location.
The Commission should consider whether the use of this type should be allowed at
• one or more of the locations as a service to the citizens. It has been indicated
.
that there will be another request for a Special Use Permit for U-Haul rentals on
" Central Avenue. He would like to consider this request in relation to the other
one. This may give the Commission time to see if EZ Haul would apply. He would
like to have this portion of the request tabled.
MOTION by Minish that the Planning Gommission table until March 8, 1972 the
Special Use Permit request, SP #71-18, by Ron's Gu1f Service Station for U-Haul
rentals on Lots Z and 2, B1ock 1, C. D. Nutchinson Addition per Code Section
45.IOI, B, 3-E, zoned C-2, to see if, in the interval, other applications have
been indicate�' that they wz11 be filed and consider other sites and number of
operations the Cit� would like to have.
MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF SECOND.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said the action then would'be for the Planning� Commission
to_pass this request on to the Council without action and the minutes should show
that these motions were made for the second request bein�a permit for U-Haul
rentals .
The petitioner was informed Council would receive his request on February 28,
1972.
Mr. Minish said for the time he has been on the Planning Commission they have
had several requests for service station sites. He has always wondered if the
City doesn't already have too many statians and that it would be difficult for
them to make a substantial profit. Now we hear that station operators need
additional means of income to stay open. We should keep in mind what we heard
tonight.

3. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQUEST� ZOA 4�72-01 BY ALVIN A. NITSCHKE: To
' rezone from R-1 to R-3, Outlot ��1, Rice Creek Plaza South and Lot 32, Block 4,
Lowell Addition to Fridley Park together with the vacated street lying
, between the before mentioned parcels.

Mr. Nitschke was present.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission waive
, fhe reading of the Offzcial Notice for the Public Hearinq of the Rezoninq Request,
ZOA #72-01, by Alvin A. Nitschke to rezone from R-1 to R-3 (general multiple
family dwellings) Dutlot #1, Rice Creek Plaza South and Lot 32, Block 4, Lowe1Z
� Addition to Fridley Park together with the vacated street lying between the before
mentioned parcels. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Clark said that about a year ago Mr. Nitschke applied for a special use
' permit to build a double bungalow and was involved with trading of lands where
the City traded a portion,.of its property with Mr. Nitschke. This rransaction
has taken place. He has deeded the amount of the property as agreed to.

He will receive the City's deed for the 20 foot Outlot. He wants to build a three
family townhouse ty�pe of building on the same lot as contained in the specfal use
permit. He did not proceed with the special use request. The land area is in
excess of 10,000 square feet which is large enough for a triplex and R-3 zoning
does allow a triplex.
Mr. Nitschke explained that he did have some ot the elevations and Darrel
• saw them. Unfortunately the architect was using them to complete the plans.
� The structure will be a townhause, quite simi�ar to the type that is being built
� now, the front court provincial type. There will be five parking places, two
double garages and additional parking space in between. He wi11 be living in one
' o£ the units. He would try to make it look as nice as possible as it is not a
speculative project. <He changed the request because it would be more economical
to have a triplex.
'
�
Mr. Clark said he had seen the plans. The garages are on the front of the
living area. There is a court between the garages and houses. The only thing
he would want to co�►ent on was the front yard would be mostly blacktop or
concrete. -
He continued that the building site is 80`x136`.

reasons: Thzs request is out of keeping with the rest of the block which is
residential with one double unit; objects to blacktop facing the street; the
proximity of the park and the extra cars this triplex would have makes it undesir-
able because the park does not have enough street parking area; and is inconsis-

of Section 13.� •
Mr. McGregor and Mr. Floyd Foslien were present.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission waive

by Robert L. McGregor. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried

�
��
Planning Commiss.ion Meeting - Fet�ruary 9� 1972 Pa e� 7^
Mr. McGregor explained that they are proposing to put in a townhouse project.
' ' � Suburban Engineering has been employed to do the general layout. He has known
about the property for some time and he has been a resident of Fridley for ten
years. He consulted the designer, Herb Fritz, who worked with Frank Lloyd Wright,
, but they will use a structural engineer licensed in Minnesota for the townhouse
project.
1• � The project will be called Timber Ridge. They plan to dig out an area and
create a series of ponds going down to the creek. They would pump water out of
the creek into the pond and then drain back down to the creek by gravity so it
wi11 look like a stream. The alternative would be to dig a well to supply water
1 to this pond and discharge the excess water into the creek. In the winter they
would close the lock and make two skating ponds for the children and put up a
warming house for the children.
�
�
L�
�
�
r
Originally in the preliminary drawing the idea was to front the townhouses
on the ponds, but they might want the entrances to exit on 69th Avenue.
Mr. McGregor continued that R-2 zoning would give them 43 townhouses on
this 'property. They would deed property below the 890 contour to the City for
park. That would be a little over 10% of the area they own.
Mr. Clark said that this was the Kaye Westerlund.request and was approved for
R-3 zoning for 109 units providing he would dedicate the Southerly 60 feet and
purchase the Outlot from Mr. Foslien, and deed it to the City a1so. Another
stipulation was to dedicate 17 feet along the Easterly edge of this parcel to
go together with the 33 feet of land we got from the East.
Mr. McGregor said there would be no problem to give land for a common road.
This would make a second egress from their property ta the road. They plan to
have the townhouses owner occupied and a townhouse association type of arrange-
ment. There will be a double car garage, either "drive under" or "attach to"
and there wiil be no single car garages.
� Mr. C1ark sazd the request meets the townhouse ordinance requirement in
density. The area next to this property (Roger Larson fownhouse development)
' is R-3 and the density is considerably higher. .
�
�
,
l
Mr. Foslien said that this looks like a nice project.
MOTION b� Minish, seconded b� Zeglen, that the Planning Commission close the
public hearinq of the Rezoning Request, ZOA #72-02, by Robert L. McGreqor to rezone
from R-1 to R-2 (Zimited multiple fami.Zy dwellings) the North 824.7 feet of the
West Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 13.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schmedeke said that being a Iayman on this type of construction, he would
like to make a motion to table the item until Mr. Erickson, being a builder in his
own right, gets a look at it. ,
� MOTION b� Schmedeke, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Commission table
the rezoninq request, ZOA #i72-02, by Robert McGreqor until the meeting of

MURPHY: To rezone from C-1S to C-2 (general busin�ss areas) the Westerly
Half of Lot 18, Block l, Spring Valley Addition for a miniature golf
putting course.
The petitioner was not present.
At the last meeting, the.request was made to write the City Attorney for an
answer to the question if it would be possible to grant a Special Use Permit
under C-1 zoning. Darrel Clark said an answer was received from the City Attorney.
His opinion was "no". The letter was in.cluded in the Agenda on Page 19.
�
Mr. Minish said that because there is no provision under the present zoning,
_ that the request can't be granted by a Special Use Permit. Chairman Fitzpatrick
suggested recommending an amendmen� to the zoning ordinance.

Mr. Schmedeke asked Darrel Clark if he had requested Peter Herlofsky to write
the letter to the City Attorney and Darrel answered "that was correct". Mr.
Schmedeke then read an excerpt from the Planning Commission meeting of January
22, 1972 at the top of Page 5: "MOTION by Minish, seconded by Schmedeke, that
the Planning Commission table the rezoning request, ZOA ��71-10 ----- and ask the
City Attorney whether or not a Special Use Permit could be granted under C-1S
zoning for this request --." He read the iast paragraph of the Ietter from the
City Attorney found on Page 5 of the Agenda: "That if the zoning ordinance
permits certain uses of property in C-2 and C-2S districts by special use permit
and the zoning ordinance does not state that the same use is permitted in C-1
districts, that the omission is intentional and, therefore, not permitted."
Mr. Schmedeke said he did not want to be pursuaded into a zoning change, but
if this parcel were rezoned, they would have other requests for rezoning in the
area. The whole area probably should be studied. Here is where we run across
what he calls the Hyde Park Addition "Spite" Ordinance again.
In 1968 he asked to rezone Lots 16 through 19, Block 12 and Lot 30, Block 2,
Hyde Park Addition from R-2 to C-2. The following excerpt from the Planning Com-
mission meeting of February 29, 1968 is from a prepared statement by Mr. Erickson:
"---It appears to me, however, that the petition represents the type of spot re-
zoning that we should not condone. It surely will lead to a steady stream of
rezoning requests for adjacent and neighboring property". and "I would 2fke to
state at this time that I have a completely open mind about the proper use for
the 3rd Street area and am not saying that a11 or part of the area should not be
commercial. I say only that if it is to be, it should be done in a reasonable
manner." Excerpt of the motion at the same meeting "MOTION by Erickson,
seconded by Myhra, that the rezoning request, ZOA ��68-01, Eldon Schmedeke, of
Lots 16 through 19, Block 12 and Lot 30, Block 2I, Hyde Park.Addition to be
rezoned from R-2 (Zimited multiple districts) to C-2 (general business districts)
be denied ---." .
The following two excerpts are found on Page 3 of the same meeting: Tom
Myhra: "---If an error was made in zoning seventeen years ago, he could not believe
the present Planning Commission has a moral obligation to make a correction in
the apparent short while before professional help will become available.---" and
"Mr. Jensen wished to malce a statement relative to the second paragraph of Member
Erickson�s motion. He thought the point was well taken relative to a steady

, stream of rezoning requests, and he thought it should be pointed out that this
"stream of rezoning requests", which could be anticipated, would put the Planning
Commission in the position of being unable to turn down any request, even though
� unreasonable, once spot zoning takes place." Excerpt from top of Page 4: "Chair-
man Hughes said he agreed entirely with that analysis, as it would be the logical
result if the rezoning application were approved."

Council Minutes May 4, 1970: Dave Harris speaking of the Hyde Park Spite
Zoning Ordinance -- "The City ordinance does say that there must be 200 feet
frontage and this could.put some people in the position of not being able to use
their property."
Excerpt from bottom of Page 5 and top of Page 6, May 4, 1970 Council Minutes:
� "Mr. Carl Paulson asked if the 200 foot frontage minimum would be unconstitutional,
and the City Attorney said no."
"Councilman Harris said that this was one of his original fears, that there
, would be some isolated lots that could not be used. There is a minimum of 25,000
squa�e feet required."

"Councilman Liebl pointed out to Mr. Paulson that Councilman Harris felt very
strongly that there should be a minimum square footage. It was felt that if the
parcel was bigger,�it would give a commercial development a chance to grow. This
was adopted for the whole of Fridley."
Excerpts from Council Meeting of May 18, 1970: Page 2 and 3: "Planning
Commission Request -- Mr. Eldon Schmedeke said that as to the Walquist request,
the Planning Commission would like some guidance on what they should do with the
smaller lots under commercial zoning. This lot is neither 200 feet front footage
or 25,000 square footage as the zoning ordinance required. It was part of an
older plat. iie asked if there should be an Ordinance change in regard to the
C-2 zoning.'r rrCouncilman Harris said that his intent when this was discussed
was that the stipulations be either 200 feet front footage or 25,000 square feet,
but not necessarily both. He felt that it should be either/or. As it reads now
would produce some unbuildable lots. Mr. Schmedeke said that there would be other
parcels with a similar request." _
Continued excerpts from Council meeting of May 18, 1970, pages 19 and 20:
"Receiving the memo from the City Attorney regarding Oliver Erickson Request:
The City Attorney said that as concerns the requirement of 200 feet front footage
and 25,000 square feet in a C-1 and C-2 district, he felt that in most cases,
variances must be granted by the Board of Appeals where the use of the property
would have been proper under the old Ordinance. It was agreed by the Council
that the intent when discussing the Ordinance was that either the 200 front foot-
age must be met, or the 25,000 square foot requirement, but not necessarily both.
An amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is to be prepared for the June 1, 1970
Meeting. MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to receive the memorandum from the City
Attorney concerning the granting of variances, as brought up by Oliver Erickson,
dated May 18, 1970. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
"MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to instruct the Administration to bring back
an amendment to the Zonirfg Ordinance to allow for meeting either the 200 foot
footage requirement, or the 25,000 square footage requirement in C-1 zoning."

Mr. Schmedeke said in summary that he could not see where we can live by
1 this Spite Ordinance. The area it was created for has not used it. He believed
that the ordinance should be changed and he wi1Z work for. its correction. It is
' too stiff and it was just done for one area. We will have to change it to
, smaller square footage in C-2. He thought some of the people are entitled to it,
but it s�ould not be made so stiff that they will have to get a variance. If you
are C-2, you are C-2 and let's get it done so people can live with it.

Chairman Fitzpatrick said that an ordinance that applied to one area and is
e�epted in many other cases, and that the opinion here that we could rezone an
area immediately creating a non-conformance by rezoning, should be considered
further. The item under consideration now is the request for a rezoning fram
C-1 to C-2.. He continued that unless there was further discussion of the merits
of this particular case, he thought the Commission was prepared to make a
recommendation. Recommending approval would immediately create a situation
that would not conform within the zoning we are moving to. It would create a
lot in C-2 that can't be used for C-2 purposes without a variance.
Darrel Clark said that we do not have very much land in C-1 and C-1S that
is vacant. The area requirement for a11 C's is the same; they require 200 front
feet or 25,000 square feet. He did not think when the Planning Comuiission was
studying this ordinance in 1969 that it included 1ot area for commercial. He be-
lieved it was added at Council level.
Mr. Schmedeke said that between the Engineering Department, CounciT and the
Planning Commission they came up with some of these zonings, square footages
and the like. .
Chairman Fitzpatrick said that unless there is further discussion of the
merits of this particular case, he thought the Commission was prepared to make
a recommendation. In his opinion to recommend approval would be to immediately
create a situation that would not conform within the zoning they are moving,
i.c. C-2. It woul.d create a lot in C-2 that does not meet the area requirements.
Other reasons for denial were listed as temporary use and can`t be used aftar
temporary use is given up. There is a problem to begin with that the Commission
can't grant a special use permit for this in a C-1 district. If a special use
permit could be granted, there would be less tampering with a zoning district.
There should not be an area requirement in which there is a continuous granting
of variances.
' MOTION b� Minish, seconded by Zeglen, that �he Planning Commission reconunend
denial to the Council for the zoning request, ZOA #,71-10, by Mrs. L1oyd Murphy

APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSION :rfINUTES: FEBRUARY 9, 1972
MOTI�N by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission defer

_1. CONTZ1ViJED PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQ_UEST, ZOA ��72-02, BY ROBERT L. MC
GREGOR: To rezone from R-1 to R-2 (limited multiple family dwellings) the
North 824.7 feet of the W� of the NE� of the NE4 of Section 13. Public
Hearing closed.
; i..
`, , ,
Mr. Robert L. McGregor was present. �`r� �
`
Because the Chairman was absent at the Februar.y I3th meeting, this item
was tabled in order to give him an opportunity to comment on it.
.
Mr. McGregor explained that it was their proposal to put in a 43 unit
Townhouse project. The plan was to take this flat piece of ground and excavate
two man made ponds, use the material to construct berms to give the property
some character. It was proposed that they wauld do this either by pumping
water from the creek with a permit from the Canservation Department or by instal-
ling a well. The water, in either case, would overflow back to the creek. In
winter the drainage pon d would be closed creating two skating rinks. A warming
house would be built and maintained through the townhouse association at no
cost to the City and would be basically used for the people in this immediate
area.
The Iand is narrow and long. The people to the East have given property
for dedication of the road on the East side. They would also consent to give
17 feet to coincide with this road for egress
Mr. McGregor continued that he indicated they would deed to the City the
back of the property that is below the 890 contour for park purposes which
would be a Iittle over 10% of its land area. Mr. Qureshi used the projector
to show the land in the whole area to be acquired by the City.

, . Chairman Erickson said when the Commission first discussed this property,
they were talking about a contour of 880. Mr. Qureshi said that what happened
was they were talking about a lower elevation at that time and the developer
was going to develop a11 the facilities down to 880. Roger Larson, who owns the
' property to the East, is going to build tennis courts, picnic tables, benches
and barb`ecues. Once it is built, he will turn it over to the City. He will also
provide parking for six to ten cars. �

Chairman Erickson said they were concerned with the contour lines and not the
, proximity. The City should have, as a condition rezoning to the creek area.
He was not so certain that any extension northward of the line would be of
any advantage to the City Park.

Mr. Qureshi said the only development you could expect in this area is a
walking trail. The land below the 890 contour is very steep and falls about
45 to 50 feet to the creek.
The Chairman wondered if the City should have.more property on the top of
the hill. The Engineer said that if we had more property, it could not be used
for anything more than walking. ,
Mr. McGregor said the 890 contour is about 110 feet North of their South line.
The density would be under the R-2 density allowed for townhouses. The tocr�-
houses would be owner occupied. Mr. Qureshi said the townhouse association wi11
have to have agreemenCs with the City.
Chairman Erickson asked Mr. Qureshi if he had any particular objection on the
City's part as to the 890 contour line. The only thing he would suggest was
if the petitioner dedicated the land, he also should provide a trail across his
property. Chairman Erickson said then it was his understanding the developer
is expected to provide a trai2 on City property.
Mr. Qureshi said there would be no problem with the plans they have for the
ponds, but Mr. McGregor would have to have a permit from the Conservation
Department.
.� �
Mr. Fitzpatrick added that the narrowness of the property to be dedicated
by Mr. McGregor could become a problem unless the City had property on both
sides of the creek.
In answer to the suggestion that a fence be put up between the townhouse area
and the park property, Mr. McGregor said they would prefer not to do that. He
felt that people take the path of least resistance and if a trail or walk were
provided, the people would use that. The Engineer suggested this problem could
be worked out with the Park Department.
Ghairman Erickson said that the Commission is not actually approving the
�� townhouse project itself,and they expect it to go before the building board.
It will come back to the Commission with a complete concept.

� . Mr. McGregor asked if the Commission could foresee any problems with the
;' ponds and the drainage because they would have to get an agreement with the City
, to d�ain across City property.
'
�
Ttce City Engineer said he did not expect any problems, and other details
.they would work out with the petitioner. It would serve as a storm sewer at
certain times.
Mr. Minish said they could have the second reading of the ordinance held up
until all problems are solved.
' MO'1'ION b� Minish, seconded by Zeglen,_that the PZanning Commission recommend
approval of the rezoning request, ZOA #72-02, by Robert L. McGregor, to rezone
from R-1 to R-2 (limited multiple family dwellings): the North 824.7 feet of the
' West Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quaxter of Section Z3,
for townhouse proposed development with t.he following stipulations: 1) That
Zand South of the 890 contour be dedicated to the City. 2) Construct a walk-
� way in park area. 3) Dedication of the Easterly 17 feet of this parcel.
4) Separate agreement for surface and ponding drainage with Engineering Depart-
ment. 5) Second reading of the ordinance be withheZd until the final plan of
' the townhouse has been approved. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.

2. LETTER TO PL�iiNNING COMMISSION CHAIRMAN FROM CITY MANAGER DATED JANUARY 24,
I972 REGARDING PROCEDURE OF BUILDING STANDARbS-DESIGN CONTROL MINUTES:
_ The Ietter was regarding the minutes of the Subcouunittee being presented
to Council before the Planning Commission received them.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he was on the Subcommittee at one time. He made the
comment that the Planning Commission and the Subcommittee spent a great deal
of time on the requests. The biggest objection the petitioners had was the
delay. There is considerable delay already, but it is no fault of anybody.
Mr. Schmedeke said he felt to have the Subcommittee minutes before the
Planning Commission before going to Council, would put a lot more work on the
Commi_ssion. He would then recommend heads of the departments attend the
Commission meetings to e�lain the requests in order for the Co�unission to have
a complete backgraund on the problems. He felt there should be some way that
all facts should be brought to the attention of�all Subcommittees so that they
would not make a false decision. � �
Chairman Erickson said they feel the procedure should be left as it is. If
somebody shows up at a committee and have not given a week's notice, that they
should be sent back to the City staff so the City staff can revise the plans.
Chairman Erickson said he would write a letter to Mr. Davis explaining the
position of the Planning Commission.
3. STUDY: PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE r:[TNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN:
The City Engineer reiterated that this study is only a guide and the map
used is not a zoning map. '

Planning Commission Meeting - Februarv 16, 1972 Pa�e 4
_ Referring to the general introduction, Mr. Minish asked if they were over
stating the case in saying that the Comprehensive Plan had no legal value. If
a rezoning were denied, he would think if the City got into a law suit, their
overall plan could have evid'ential value, and a statement like this can be
damaging. If the Commission turned down a request and the existing zoning ordi-
nance was not in accordance with the overall plan, the overall plan would be
in accordance with our action and make it more defensible. He could see a time
when they would want to use the Comprehensive Plan as evidence.
Mr. Qureshi said that comprehensive plans in other communities have created
a lot of controversies by misinformation. This is merely a guide and can be
changed from year to year depending how the City's thinking and development
changes. The Comprehensive Flan does not rezone any property, but it does point
out some areas where the City might want to change. If the owner of the property
agrees, the request must go to the Planning Commission and the regular channels.
Chairman Erickson commented that Council can deny any rezoning, even though the
Comprehensive Plan suggests the way it should go.
Mr. Qureshi continued that this study book is a rough copy -- the real plan-
.. ning is done by the Planning Commission. The Iegal requirement is one public
hearing. Council can discuss and adopt by Resolution or Ordinance. If Council
wants to make changes and have a public hearing, they can do it, but it is not
required. When once adopted, the Planning Commission and Council have to enforce
it.
Mr. Qureshi, referring to the population area, said that for the first time
since the beginning of time, the suburb population is almost the same as the
total population of the central cities. Fridley's increase has been substan-
tial. We have gotten over our greatest growth period and the growth from
now on will not be so great.
Underground utilities were mentioned and the need for a criteria.
The Commission members felt the graphs would be easier tio read if they
were put together in color.
Under Hausing, Mr. Qureshi said basically Fridley has a unique mixture.
Planning Commission members mentioned that there are 409 units of Mobile
Homes which come under R-4, Trailer Courts. Some of the older trailer courts
have personal units too close together for comfort. The density of trailers
require more area per unit than townhouses. To change the rezoning to a non-
conforming use, would make it easy to eventually eliminate those which do not
meet the area requirements.
They agreed on the statement not to encourage loopbacks, to with detached
service roads and to find some way to discourage the areas being used for
filling stations.
The discussion was terminated on Page S1.

THE MINUTES OF THE BOEIRD OF APPEALS MEETING OF FEBRUARY 15� 1972
- The meeting was called to order by Chairman Minish at 8:30 P.M.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Minish, Crowder, Harju, Sondheimer, Wahlberg
MEMEERS ABSENT: None
OTHERS PRESENT: Clarence Belisle-Building Inspector
MOTIQN by Sondheimer to approve the minutes of the December 14, 1971 meeting
as written.
Seconded by Crowder. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
Each member of the Board received a copy of that part of the Planning
Commission Minutes of December 8, 1971 concerning the Guidelines for
Lots Substandard in Size, in the Plymouth Addition, and a1so, that part of
the Council Minutes of December 20, 1971 that showed the Council concuxring
with the Planning Commissioris recommendations on these lots.
, Ghairman Minish explained that the Board of Appeals has been receiving many
variance requests on 40 foot lots for which there are no specific codes.
The Planning Commission reviewed this matter and came up with some guidelines
to follow for each specific substandard lot in Plymouth Addition. The Board
- now has a recommendation for each lot which it can follow if variances are
again requested, �

1. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 450053 � 4A z TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM FRCi�i1T
YARD SETBACK RE UIREMENT FROM 35 FEET TO 15 FEET TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION
OF DW�LLINGS WITH GARAGES ATTACHED ONTO THE FRONT, ON LOTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
AND 7, BLOCK 1, INNSBRUCK 5TH ADDITION, THE SAI�IE BET_NG 5171, 5175, 5179,
5183,_5201 AND 5275 ST. IMCER DRIVE, FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY RODNEY
BILLMAN, INCORPORATED, 15I SILVER LAKE ROAD z NEW BRIGHfiON, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. John Bogucki, representing Rodney Billman, Inc. , was present to present
the request. Pictures of the lots, the Innsbruck 5th Addition plat and a
sketch of the position of the house on one lot were shown to the �oard,
Mr. Bogucki �plained there are 7 lots that need a front yard variance as
they have an extremely fast drop off that starts almost immediately at the
front of the lots. In order�to maintain the 35 foot setback requirement for
the dwelling and the garage, a great deal of f.ill would have to be used or
some type of bridge, ma.de of concrete or spancre�e, would have to be used
for the driveway. This type of bridge could be dangeraus in the winter as
far as cars sliding ove-r the edge. They prop�se L-o haVe the house set back
35 feet with the garage attached to the front, having a setback of about
15 feet. He said �hey are aslcing for 15 feet on the garages but they will
listen to anything the Boa rd may suggest. -
Mr. Belisle stated, upon recommendation of the City Engineer, that the
setback has to be at least 20 feet because the car Iengths would overlap
onto the boulevard with a lesser setback.
Mr. Bogacki continued that they plan to put fill in for the driveways o�ly
and will possibly put ttoo_driveways together, to make building easier, and
the driveways widero They would huve a 3 car width driveway fox a 2 cax
garage to keep the cars of� the boulevard and off the streeto

� �:..�. Bogucki said there won't be any front yard to speak of, but the yard will
t;e terraced down. The main floor of the house will be level with the street
but they might have to build the equivalent of 2 basements under it and
possibly it would look like a 3 story house from the back. The basement
under the garage would probably consist of a laundry room.
Mro Belisle stated the northern coxner lot, Lot 8, has an existing house
on it, which has a 40 foot setback on the garage and a 47 foot setback on
� the house. This hause faces St. Imier as would the proposed dwellings.
Chairman Minish asked why they wanted a blanket variance on all of the lots
and also if they had any plans drawn up for the type of house they propose
to build. ,
Mr. Bogucki said they have not had any plans drawn up as yet. They feel it
is better tc wait until they have a buyer for a certain lot, and then to
work �aith him on drawing up the plans fox that lot. They want a hlanket
vaxiance on alI the �ots because they don't kno�a which lot a buyer would
want to build one With the blanket variance a buyer could have his choice
of the lots. �

Mr. Bogucki said this is an unplatted outlot that will prcbably revert

rir. Belisle stated that we wi11 require soil tests on the lots.
Mx. Bogucki said they had planned on getting these tests.
Mr. Crowder asked if the steep decline continued the length of each lot.
Mr. Bogucki answered that on some lots it tapered off at the back but most
have the very steep decline.
Mr. Belisle stated the inverts on the �ewer will have to be obtained from
the Engineering Depaxtment for each individual lot. .
Mr. Crowder had to leave the meeting at 9:20 P.M.
Mr. W. Culbert, 5270 St. Imier, said he lives directly across from the lo�s.
He didr:'t have any objections to devel.oping the lots as a whole but he didn't
think a. blanket variance was the right way to do it. He said he has a. large
investment to protect and he would like to see son�e plans for the houses that
t�rould be baing built, before any action is taken on the variance. He said no

actempt has been made to sho�a them what this would involve. Ha added he is
• very gleased with the area as it is now.
Mr. Bogucki said they would never build anything that would devalue the
surrounding property. The dwellings.that they would build on these lots
would be more expensive than many of the homes already in the area as they
would be bigger, having approximately two basements, and it will cost more
. for the materials.
Mrs. Murray, 5250 St. Imier, said she thought this should be taken on a lot
to lot basis. On a blanket variance they could build anything that they
wanted to and we wouldn't have anything to say about it. She asked Mr. Bogucki
if his architect couldn't draw up some sort of plans so they could see some
idea of what they plan to build.
Chairman Minish stated that in 1969, Mre Billman asked for the same variances
on the same lots. There were some objections from the neighbors at that time
also and he abandoned the request. There �aere no plans drawn up at that time
eittaer. He added he thought a lot to lot basis could be easier to make a
decision ori,
�ir. Bogucki stated they don't like to draw up plans when they don't know
what the buyer.s would want. He thought that since he was in the construction
business, he could possibly see something that the neighbors could not see.
He felt that if these lots are handlect right, it could be thE best area af
Innsbruck.
There �vas then a discussion on other areas where there are hauses built on
a steep decline. It was brought out that some of these homes are built in
a very attractive manner.
MOTION by Sandheimer to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Harju. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Sondheimer stated he felt that there was to much talking in generalities.
He would like to see 2 or 3 approaches that are workable br.ougnt before the
Board that the people could see.
MOTION by Sondheimer that 2 or 3 proposals be �resented that can be evaluate�
on their own merits.
Mrs. Wahlber.g said she felt soil tests should be taken first.
MOTTON dies for lack of a second. .
Chairman Minish said there was a hardship in the steep decline of the lots
but he felt the Board should consider the va.riance on a lot to lot basis.
He added the soil tests should be taken to determine whether a house could
be built on each lot and he felt that the applicant could get some plans for
a house of this design to show the neighbo'rs and the Board.

araw up a specific plan for that lot and present it to the Board.
Chairman Minish answered that is what the Board would like to see.
Mr. Sondheimer added that the plan does not have ta be fully designed but
should show how to arrange the basic elements.

' PARK DEPARTMENT SHIFTS�
Mr. Brown informed the Commission that the Park Department Staff has gone on a split
' shift for the duration of the skating season. The men were given a chance to bid
their desired shift, according to seniority. They'll work a five day shift, but not
all of them will be off on Saturday and Sunday. This change in schedule is an effort
' to cut down on the amount of overtime required to maintain the ice for the skating
season. Mr.. Brown reports that to date, it seems to be working out satisfactorily.
FLANERY ESTATE� .
'
Mr. Brown asked the Commission for direct guidelines as to the way to use the money
in the Flanery Estate.
, Mr. Olson reminded the Commission that a monument was requested by the executors of
Estate, in memory of Mr. Flanery. h1r. Brown agreed that this would be c�one, but that
' he'd like some assistance in determining how to spend the remaining funds.
Mr. Brown recommended that lights could be installed in the park, to enable the
, residents to play ball and hockey. He pointed out that there is a definite need
for lighting at all of our parks, if for no other reason tha^ liability. Mr. Blair
pointed out that the rink is too small for Hockey and he feels it would be a waste
of money to install lights. Mr. Brown said that if lights were installed, the
� rink would be made to regulation size for Hockey. The Commission agreed that if the
rink could be enlarged, that this would be a good idea for use of the donation. Mr.
Fitzpatrick said that af Fridley's Parks, Flanery and Burlington Northern were the
' only ones without lights. . . � ' .
h1r. Fitzpatrick also recommended that perhaps a nice piece of apparatus for the
' summer playground, would be in order. The Commissioners agreed that it should
probably be spent on one or ttiao larger items, rather than a group of miscellaneous
small items, such as picnic tables and burners.
' Mr. Blair recommended that this topic be tabled until the February.

JOi-�fd E�?ICKSON PARK� �
,�� Mr. Fitzpatrick opened the discussion of the letter received from Mrs. Robert I-Iaake,
regarding the proposed beach on Spring Lake. In her letter, Mrs. Iiaake states that
' there are already two beaches located on this 1ake, and she feels another beach
,; �inutes o� Parks � Recreation Commission Meeting, January 31, 1972. Page 2 g1 �

would not be an asset to such a small lake
to the one located on East hioare Lake.
She apparently visualizes a beach similar
Mr. Brown informed the Commission that the beach which Fridley is proposing will in
no way reflect the one at Moore Lake. The tract of land which Fridley owns is quite
small and there would be no place to surface for parking, so this would merely be
a neighborhood beach and we would provide a guard for their safety. Also suggested
for this beach were docks, picnic tables and burners, but no beach house. We would
probably rent Satellites for bathroom facilities.
Mr. Brown reminded the Commission that we received the $2,000.00 Beach Grant from
Anoka County last year and this sum is being held in escrow for beach development.
We have applied for this same grant for this year and the combined monies should
be enough to get a good start on the beach.
, Mr. Brown stated that Mrs. Haake envisions a beach similar to Moore Lake and this
just isn't going to be built. She states that mothers watch the younger children
who are swimming, but what about the older children who are old enough to go to
� the beach without supervision? These children are out on inner tubes and if
something would happen, there's no one qualified, who could be of any assistance
to the one in distress.

ITRADE OF PROPERTY NEAR LOCKE LAKE�
' Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that he expected to see some neighbors from the area East of
Ashton and near the railroad tracks. The northern part of this area is to be
developed and the developer has come before the Planning Commission with his proposals
' and requests that the alley easement be vacated in his favor which would narrow the
park land adjacent to it, considerably. The Park land is awfully narrow now. The
land the City owns is called Locke Lake Park and it's not developed. The residents
� of the area have never requested development, but rather they have made use of the
open proper.ties available. Now with this new development, these open properties
will no longer be in existance and there won't be park possibilities available. The
developer has pxoposed to trade the north lot, once it',� platted, for a couple of '
, tax forfeit lots on the south end of this property. He would gain more total frontage
in this trade, but would be giving up the area that we might want.
�
'
'
'

Some of the neighbors appeared before the Planning Commission when this development
came up, and they were wonderin� just what kind o.f a paxk they might expect.
The problem the City will face is just who tivill have to pay the assessments on these
tax forfeit Iots. The assessments would probably run in the neighborhood of $4 - 5,000.00.
The City Assessor is in the process of researching these properties. The present park
property is at a 45 degree angle, The Planning Commission did not approve the request
to vacate the alley ri�;ht of ��ay. _
According to i�ir. Fitzpatrick, i,�liat this trade would involve, is that ���e'd be payi�lg,
roughly $4,500.00, for adding a iot to the park we already have. Mr. Blai.r stated
that he felt it was a lot of money and when we're through, we wouldn't really have
much. Mr. Fitzpatrick said tha* on the other hand, the area residents have nothing
now and anything would be an improvement.

I�
Adolph Kukoiaski, President of the Fridley Jaycees, was present to inform the
Commission that the Jaycees are looking for a Civic Project. They have about $4,000.00
to spend and a Iot of man power, so they would like some suggestions for a project.
Mr. Kukowski stated that they have more man power than money, so would like the
Commi�ssion to make their suggestions accordingly. He stated that the Jaycees are
interested in totally developing a park.
Mr. Brown suggested the following possibilities: Rice Creek Park, Locke Lake Park,
Chases Island, Burlington Northern Park, and Innsbruck Park.
Mr. Kukows;;i tenatively ruled out Burlington I�Torthern Park, because it's only a
leased park and with proper notification, could revert back to Burlington Northern.
The City would then have to remove all equipment and the Jaycee project would be
lost.
After reviewing all five of the areas, it was recommended by h4r. Blair, that Chases
Island and Rice Creek Park be made accessible to the Jaycees £or possible development.

Mr. Fitzpatrick introduced the discussion of the blunicipal Swimming Pool f�r Fridley.
The City Council has referred this Question back to the Commission, as they have
done before, for more information,
Mr. Brown explained to the Commission that as far as he was concerned, the Department
had done everything they could. He said that he had sent out letters to the various
communities who have constructed pools, asking for size, construction information,
cost, and fund raising activities, He had received information back from several of
them and compiled it in a report for the Council. The Council, in turn, referred the,
information and study back to the Commission for further research. Mr. Brown replied
that he didn't know what else could b� done on the Department level. Any further
information would have to come from professional people. �
Mr. Blair recommended that the Council bring � professional group in to answer the
c�uestions a through e in the City Manager's Memo dated December 12, 1971, r4r. Blair
also recommended that a letter be sent to City Organiza*ions to see what their
opinions ar.e, concerning the needs for a municipal s�vimmi*�g pool.

the highway and freeway systems drainage are having on it. According to Dr. Foote,
the majority of the problems of the pollution of Moore Lake are coming from the
development of`homes and land to the East of the lake itself, rather that from the
highway. Dr. Foote said that they had figured out the amount of tonage being
deposited in the lake from the contractors, and like�aise, the amount being deposited
from the freeway system. Dr. Foote reports that there is possibly up to 600 ton
of sediment coming into the lake per year, from the East sa.de, and of that, only
20 to SO ton is resulting from highways. Mr. Brown stated that, depending on the
severity of the situatian and whether or not it is resulting from the highways,
the State will pay a percentage of the cost for correcting the problem.
Dr. Foote did some research on Moore Lake and it was a marsh land. In 1954, the
highway was built. East Moore Lake was nothing but bogs and one could walk across
it, so this is where they dredged the material from to build the roa�. Once the
development of the area immediately to the East of Lake was begun, the sediment
once again began moving down to the lake, and thus the marsh-like state was once
again beginning to form. He stated that naturally these areas return to their
original state, if something isn't done to stop it. ��
There are presently 5 major drainage systems which lead into the lake at this time.
Sediment basins could be installed, but this is costly. The majority of the problem
is not chemical, but rather sediment. Dr. Foote felt that we'd be working in vain
until construction in the area is completed.
The fish kill isn't due to chemicals from the highway, either. This is due to the
lack of oxygen and the shallowness of the lake. �
Dredging entered the discussion and to do this, the materials would have to be
' trucked out. The originai plan was to move it to the end of the end of the lake
and deposit it there, but with the conditions as they are now, it is highly
recommended that the materials be trucked out of the area completely.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
February 25, 1972
' MEMO T0: THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
' SUB,7ECT: PARK LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM - 1972
'
'
'
This responds to the Council's request that the current status of our
park acquisition efforts be reviewed and some suggestions made regarding the
allocation of available funds for the acquisition of park land in 1972. Each
park project currently underway will be reviewed and given a priority. This
priority is based upon past commitments to acquire the property and general need
for additional park land as determined by the Park and Recreation Commission, Park
and Reereation Director and myself as suggestions to the City Council.
Enclosed is Page 125 of the 1972 Budget. It indicates the budgetecl amounts
' for a capital outlay program for 1972 for park land acquisition.. Out of the
$51,656 available for land, $13,500 is committed for special assessments on
existing park land and $13,156 is committed £or the 1972 payment for the North
Park local share. If the Council so desired, they could delay the 1972 payment
' of the $13,156 toward North Park until. 1973 at which Cime they could budget the
full $40,285 remaining as the local share portion in one year. This amount could
be allocated outside the levy limitation requirements of the State Tax Law because
' it is a local share of a State and Federal grant thereby exempting this amount
from the levy limitation. This then would add an additional $1.3,156 to the
$25,000 for park land purchase (unallocated) as shown.
'
n
��
�
'
�
LJ

�
A summary of the financing for the North Park area is attached showing a
balance of $40,285.52 still due on the local share allocation for North Park.
Following this report are detailed maps and information from the Park and Recrea-
tion Director concerning the current status of these p�rks, and in some cases, a
rough plan for development of the site. Beyond the first three or four park areas,
I have not assigned priorities because of the lack of financing available in the
current fiscal year. The Council is being shown these as they may want to consider
these and assign some priorities in future years.
Pri.ority No, 1- North Park•
This is the number one priority because the e�ty has already acquired the
area with the assistance of Federal and State grants, and has committed some
$60,000 to date, with approximately $G.0,000 due on the local share portion. As
explained above, the Council has two choices on completing the local share financing;
(1) Partial payment of $13,156 in 1972, the re�aaining $27,000 in 1973.
(2) $40,000 payment in 1973: `

,�riority No. 2 - Ruth Circle:_
There are two tax forfeit parcels available south of Ironton Street, as �hown
on the attached map. It would cost over $32,000 to pick up the delinquent taxes
and assessments now due on both parcels, and an additional $22,000 in future
assessments outstanding. Because of the high cost, it is suggested that instead
of acquiring both parcels, the City acquire the 3.66 acre area west of Lincoln
Street. The immediate cost on that parcel is $16,240.39 of which $10,000 has
already been encumbered in the 1971 budget thereby requiring the remaining $6,240
to be paid from the 1972 budget out of park acquisition unallocated. The future
and deferred assessments of $12,265 can be spaced out over a period of time and
picked up in future budgets and trea�ed as special assessments. This 3.66 acre
complex would then be available for a softball field, hockey rink, small equip-
me��t area, and alternate basketball and tennis court coMplex possibilities as
shown in the attached developmerit diagram. Of course, it should be pointed out
that the area north of 79th Way and west of the Burlington Northern railroad
tracts is void of any park land for active recreational uses. There is a con-
siderable growth developMent in this area due to the apartments going in along
the East River Road south of 79th Way.
Priority No. 3- Hyde Park Area;
This area is completely void of an� park land of any type. The residents
have been promised a park in the area. We have checked�into the tax forfeit lots
and there are no ta� forfeit lots over 40' in width which are suit�.ble for a park.
The City has located foLr lots in Hyde Park Adciitirn, Block 24, located at the
corn�r of 5�th and 2nd Street. This parcel is lb3'' x 1.29' and would be developed
along the lines shown in the attached diagram. The owr�.ex is asking $12,000 for
the four lots. I believe that an offer of $11,OJ0 should be made with authority
to go to $12,000 if necessary to acquire the land. This is the most suitable
portion of land that is open which could be developed into a par4c for the area.
Priority No. 4- Rice Creek Road Area:
� There are four lots along Rice Creek Road_�ahich.�ould be the start of a park
�n that Pr.ea. The total cost of assessments in ttiis area is $9,649.04. If tt►e
Council decided to delay the local share payment o£ $13,000 for the North Park
' area in 1972, this property could be acquired. S:�oald the Council not wish to
delay this payment, then our present funding woulu not allow the total payment
this year, but would allou� about $7,000 to be applied to the cost of assessments.

Needed Areas of. Park Acguisition (No Special Priority�
Innsbruck North Area: There is a considerable amout�t of tax forfeit l�nd
which could be combined with the area that has been donated by Viewcon for park
purposes. This land is heavily wood.ed and does not lend itself to th� development
o� an active type recreational'facility. The cost oi the assessmen*_s shown o�i
the tax forfeit land is $5,428.11.

.
Rice Creek Park; Shown on the attached map is an additional area which would
be in addicion ta the Rice Creek Park area. The cost of assessments is $5,230.U6.
Locke Lake Area; There are several tax forfeit lots available in this area to
meet the needs for a tot lot play area, which our present park on Locke Lake cannot
do because of the topography. I have talked to Mr. Templin this week and he is not
interested in selling the lot adjoining our present park on the lake. A trade is
doubtful because the City would be acquiring tax forfeit lots at below market
price and could not get a clear title to them in order to accomplish a trade with
Mr. Templin. If the critical need is for an additional area for recreational
activities in the neighborhood, I can see no reason why tax forfeit lot or lots
in the area could not be picked up in the area and converted inte a small pl.ay area.
Hamilton's Addition to Mechanicsville; As you know, last year we had a
petition for an additional tot lot in this area. These lats have been red tagged
by the City for park purposes; however, we have not begun acquisition., The City
staff at the time felt there was not a critical need for the development of a tot
lot in this area due to the proximity of Oak Hill Park a.t 54th �.nd 7th Street,
The residents do not like their children crossing 7th Street to get to this park.
Recommendations:
1. Adopt tE�e priority schedule, Items 1 through 4 as outlined, for the acquisi-
tion of park land. � ,
2. Authorize purchase of park land in Hyde Park at a cosfi not to exceed $12,000.
3. Give staff direction on the utilization of $13_,_l.�fi_far North Park area by
designating it be spent in 197�.as budgeted or delayed to I973. �
4. Set priority schedule on acquisition of park land for 1973 and future years.

MEMO T0: GERALD R. DAVIS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ACQUISITION OF PARK PROPERTY IN THE UICINITY OF RUTH CIRCLE
DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 1972
Our department has calculated the amount of delinquent taxes and
assessments and the amount of future or deferred assessments for the
park property under consideration in the Ruth Circle area.
If only the property on the west side of Lincoln Street is considered,
the delinquent taxes and assessments amount to $16,24Q.39. Future or
deferred assessments amount to $12,265.10 or a total of $28,505.49
for this parcel. if all of the park property in the general area were
considered, the total amount of delinquent taxes and assessments amounts
to $37,669.88. The total of present and future taxes and assessments
comes to $62,373.24.
So that we.can clear up the matter with the County Commissioner and
the County Auditor's office, the decision should be made as to whether
the City can really afford to consider acquiring the entire parcel or
whether we should think in terms of just the property on the west side
of Lincoln Street. The property on the west side of Lincoln Street
is what was named in the resolution as exhibit "B".

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
February 25, 1972
MEMO T0: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: REMODELING OF FORriER POLICE D$PARTT�NT AREA BENEATH THE FRIDLEY
FIRE DEPARTMENT OFFICES
' � ._. _�.°�.i
� At the time the Shorewood Liquor Lounge was sold, part of the agreement of
sale included the rental of approximately 750 square feet at $2 per square foot
, annualZy for storage of liquor stock for all of Fridley's liquor stores. This
storage area is in the basement of Shorewood Liquor Store and serves as a central
warehouse facility to back up the limited storage areas at each of the stores.
In addition to these storage areas, early this year we cleaned out the former
� cell block area below the Fire Department and have been staring stock at that
location.
' It is possible for a nominal cost to remodel the total area under the Fire
Department, thereby creating 1728 square feet of storage area which would then
enable Fridley to vacate the basement storage area at the Shorewood Lounge. I
' have talked to Mr. Rallis who is serving as a agent for the owners of the Shore-
wood Lounge and they have agreed to terminate the lease for the basement storage
area at any date the City may specify.
' The renovation of the basement area basically would include the removal of
some existing partitions, blocking up of some doorways, the installation of a
sprinkler system in all areas except the cell block which is fireproof, and the
' construction of a wood wall across the back of the building, which will enclose the
parking area. It is proposed that the existing Police Department storage area,
which is•utilized basically to store bicycles be moved fram the area adjacent
to the cell block to the front portion of the building,which will be enclosed,
' The storage of bicycles will not be as critical as previously because of the
Council's recent adoption of an ordinance permitting the sale of bicycles more
often than annually. After this ordinance takes affect, we will direct the
' Police Department to conduct a sale of bicycles whenever sufficient numbers have
been accumulated to warrant a sale.
'
'
�
Also included in the renovation is an installation of a steel door into the
liquor storage area, security screens inside and out on aIl windows, and the
installation of a hurglar alarm system to protect the area. This work with the
exception of the minor electrical work and the installation of the burglar alarm
system, can be done by City forces. A sketch of the remodeling plan is enclosed.

An itemized cost breakdown for the remodeling is as follows:
Electrical Work
Cement Blocks
Sprinkler Piping and Heads
Lumber and Miscellaneous Materials
Labor (City forces)
Burglar Alarm System
Contingency Fund (10%)
TOTAL
$ 175.00
50.00
165.00
225.00
920.00
350.00
$1,885.00
188.50
$2,073.50
i3 �
As you can see, the $1500 annual rental cost on Shorewood storage area will
be quickly recovered by the utilization of this remodeled space. A central liquor
storage facility at City Hall is also desirable because the Civic Center is centrally
located and the liquor inventory clerk works at City Hall and is readily available
to receive incoming shipments of liquor supplies. .
I would therefore recommend you authorize the City Manager to proceed with
the remodeling with all costs incurred to be charged against the Liquor Fund
Account. Furthermore, I would recommend that you authorize the canceling of
the lease with Shorewood Inn, Inc., for 750 square feet in the basement of Shore-
wood Liquor Store, effective April 1, 1972, at which time the remodeling would be
complete.

MEMO T0: THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
'SUBJECT: JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR MUNICIPAL DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS
For the past year a group of T'wxn Cities suburbs have been investigating the
possibility of cooperatively undertaking data processing services. This originated
with a proposal from Hennepin County to provide data prbcessing service to several
municipalities in Hennepin County. As an outgrowth of that proposal the suburbs
retained Keston Associates to prepare a feasibility study of such services.
Shortly after Dr. Keston's report was received, the State of Minnesota and
the Metropolitan Council, in cooperation with the League of Municipalities, was
in the process of presenting a proposal for developing an integrated data system
for use by Minnesota municipalities and counties using Federal, State, County
and local funds. .
��.
For the past few months these alternatives have been under evaluation. Durit�g
mid-January a group of 7 managers, finance directors, and data processing people
made a trip to the west coast to evaluate several data processing systems which are
nationally recognized. The managers prepared a report of their findings, a steering
committee reviewed the report and prepared recommendations.
As a result, it is expected that the final course to be followed will be some-
where between and represent a compromise of each of the proposals and may include
some of the better elements of the systems observed on the west coast. The one
point in which there has been general agreement is that a joint powers agreement
should be entered into so that there can be an organized effort put forth by all
the municipalities involved.
The resolution before you is purposely phrased in a very general form,-and
is intended to provide the organizational framework necessary to develop the joint
powers agreement and by-laws of the association consistent with Minnesota law and
the objectives of the participants. The joint powers �greement and by-laws will
come before you for your final approval and adoption.
Because of the level of interest and the momentum the program is gaining, it
� is important that the joint powers agreement and by-laws be adopted at an early
date.
�
�
'
I envision many possible applications of data processing to Fridley's present
operations. One of our most pressing needs is in the area of utility billing.
The presec�t machine which prepares the bills is not expzcted to last through the
year due to age and mechani_cal condi_tion. If the City proceeds into the area of

joint municipal data processing, my recommendation would be to adopt�interim
procedures (such as leasing utility billing equipment if our present machine
becomes inoperable) until we can put utility billing on the data processing
system. Several of the cities involved in these joint discussions with Fridley
share the same problem and anticipa�e that utility billing and payroll preparation
would be the first two applications. Operations which could possibly be adapted
to a data procassi.ng system in Fridley include;
a.

Utility Billing
Payroll Accounting/Personnel Records
Inventory Records Particularly Liquor Store Inventory
General Accounting
Voter Registration Records
Police Statistics
Assessment Records

Enclosed as attachments are (1) Report of the City Manager's Steering
Committee of communities participating in Joint Data Processing Study and (2)
Report of West Coast Municipal Information Systems tour. These are furnished to
provide further background in the progress of the joint data processing study
to date.
I believe this study and anticipated cooperative effort through joint powers
is �.n unique example of cities working cooperatively to achieve mutually desirable
goals. �
Other communities which are expected to approve this resolution and become a
part of the association include St. Louis Park, Edina, Minnetonka, Brooklyn Center,
Brooklyn Park, Crystal, Golden Valley, Eden Prairie, Coon Rapids, and Orono. In
addition, Bloomington and Richfield which now have extensive data processing
operations may also join in. ,
This resolution of intent will not commit Fridley to any expenditures of
money. When the joint po�aers agreement and by-laws are presented to you, financial
commitments required will be explained at that time.
I recommend you approve the resolution and ap�oint the City Manager to serve as
a representative to serve on the Joint Powers Drafting Committee.

�.�c ;
�1 rnui�icipal data service steering committee (see attachrnent #1 for committee member-
sl�ip) v,r�s created in December 1971 to review alternative proposals for municipal data
processing as presented by Yeston Associates and Systems & Camputer Technology (SCT) .
Th� �roposals were reviewed and alternative courses ot action studied. �1s a part of
the review a subcommittee taured several data processing installations throughout the
country to learn of their experience first hand. As a result, the following conclusions
and recommended course of action is present�d for the City Manager's review and
action by your city councils . ,
COf_� CLUSIONS
I. Neither the proposal from Keston Associates nor from State/Metropolitan Council
(Systems and Computer Technology) should be adopted as presented . There are
certain advantages and disadvantages to each of these proposals and the best of
each should be incorporated within the recommended course of action.
2. The importance of developing a municipal information system designed to meet
operational and management needs as defined by participaiing municipalities is
such that exclusive municipal funding is justifiable. However, if these needs are
also coincidental with State and Metropolitan Council program objectives, these
and other possible sources of funding should. be explor�d. �
3. It is essential that the users-of a municipal data processing system maintain
, absolute control over each detail of system development and operation including
selection and retention of consultants and key staff personnel.
, 4. Concerned municipalities should take formal action through their governing boards
to indicate their intention to enter into a Joint Powers 1lgreement to c�rry out the
recommendations herein .
'
L!
�
;. The first step in the joint det;elopment of a multi-governrlent unitJlevel data
�rocessing system should be tv define informational requirements in terms of
specific intergovernment�31 dat� and reports , as well as intr�governn�ental
(inter-dep��rtment��l) d�ta and reports .
i
�
��
�
�.� D �
_2-
6. If the primary objectives of an inteqrated data system for municipal operations are
to automate routine operations, and as a by-product to obtain more and better
inform�tion for management purposes , it may be concluded on the basis of
experience at Lane County (Eugene, Oregon), Sunnyvale, California, and the San
Gabriel Valley California groups th�t such objectives were achieved using different
technical approaches and with varying levels of sophistication and cost.
7. It is practical to design subsystems for municipal data processing which are
# sufficiently flexible to permit use by a number of municipalities having somewhat
different operating procedures .

'
�
��
�
�
�
'
�
�'
�
�
�
i
�
,
8. Sunnyvale, California demonstrated that it is possible to define integrated
municipal data system requirements in sufficient detail and explicitly enough to
awar�d what is esser�tially a"turn-key" fixed price contract.
9. According to the users visited, the most effecfiive use of computer facilities by
a municipality is in an on-line mode for input and inquiry purposes for most
applications . �
10. The use of a Iarge central computer by a number of municipalities is practical.
11 . Off-lina , batch printing of routine r•eports (e . g., monthly budget , utility bills ,
payroll checks) with delivery by courier is practical for municipalities where t�ie•
volume of printing activity does not justify installation of a remote high-speed
printer in a using municipality.
RECOMMF,NDED COURSE OF ACTION
1. Concurrence in the Steering Committee's Conclusions and Recommendations by
the individual participants in this group.
2. Adoption by your city councils by March 1 of a Resolutian of Intent to participate
in a Joint Powers Agreement for D'ata Processing Services (see attachment #2
for sample resolution) . , ' •
3. Designation by each municipality of its manager/administrator as its representative
to the association to be known as the "Minnesota Murzicipal Data System. "
4. Development of a joint powers agreement and by-laws of the association for
submitt�l to the various jurisdictions for adoption by �lpril 1.
5. It is the intention that the MDS functions should include the development of
integratec�/lin�:ec� autor-�ated processing of such �pplications as accounting, payroll,
utility billing, etc., and approF�ri��te man��gement and budqetary information s�stems.
G. Garefully consicier development of s�ecifications by the MNDS which define the
mtmicip�litics' requirements in sufficient detail and explicitly enough to aw�rd
what is essenti�lly �� "turn-key" fixed price contr�ct sirnil��r to the methodology of

Introduction
Some twenty-two municipalities and counties in and near the T�vin Cities Metro-
politan Area have been considering various alternatives for jointly utilizing
�`� electronic data processing techniques for certain municipal/county functions . A
major aspect for consideration has been a program proposed by the State Department
of Administration as a product of a joint State/Metropolitan Gouncil study completed
in October 1971. This proposal. is "to develop an 9.ntegrated data system for Minneso�a
counties and municipalities, install and operate an interim system, organize and
implement an area computer center. " The State has spent approxin�ately $71, 200 to
date and the Metropolitan Council about $19, 800, excluding in-kind support, for the
initial phase of the program and preliminary work on the developmental phase .

In evaluating the several alternative courses of action, an ad hoc committee of
managers was formed. In turn this group appointed a steering committee consisting
of six city managers, a finance director, and four technical advisors to prepare recom-
mendations for review by the full group.
In order to obtain a better understanding of the meaning of "integrated data" systems
several of the managers and advisors agreed to visit four areas which were recommended
as havfng approached the problem of municipal data processing from different directior_� ,
with differing degrees of integration of data files , and differing organizational concep�s .
The areas visited and their general approach to information systems and organization
are as follows : .
l. Lane County, Oregon -- A variety of on-line real-time computerized
�applications which can be operated on by a powerful data management
system to give the effect of substantial integration. Much of the
operation zs on-line, real-time. Informal organization with strong
county leadership and subsidy, operated by the county.
2. Sunnyvale, California -- Payroll/Personnel, Utility Billing, Inventory,
General Accounting and Police Statistics subsystems which are internally
integrated, externally compatible for interface purposes , operated on by
a management information system, operated on-line for inquiry and data
input purposes, System deve]opment provided jointly by Sunnyvale and
service bureau, reports processed off-line , operated by service bureau�.
3. San Gabriel Valley Area -- Finance/1lccounting/Payroll, Utility Billing,
Police Statistics subsystems operated on by a Generalized Data Management
Syster�i which performs most of the functions of an integrated data system.
Oper�tes on-line for inquiry and data input purposes . Reports processed
off-line and delivered by courier. System development and operatinn by a
joint powers agreement. '
4. Wichita F'alls, Texas -- Totally integrated system being developed for
operation in one city under Federal (US1�C) funding.

The participants on the tour were as follows:
William A. Bassett, City Manager, Mankato ---
John T: Irvinq, City Manager, Crystal
Miles Johnson, City �easurer, Crystal
Donald G. Poss, City Manager, Brooklyn Center
Dale Folstad, Director of Hennepin County Data Processinq
(technical advisor)
Ted Willard, Community Services Specialist, Metropolitan Council
(secretary and coordinator)
Phillip Allison, Information Systems Manager, State Administrative
Department (liaison for State)
General Conclusions and Observations
l. The first step in the joint development of a multi-government unit/level data
processing system should be to define informational requirements in terms
of specific intergovernmental data and reports, as well as intra-governmental
(inter-departmental} data and reports .
2, If the pr�iznary objectives of an integrated data system for municipal operations
are to automate routine operations , and as a by-product to obtain more and
better information for management purposes, it may be concluded that Lane
County, Sunnyvale and the San Gabriel Valley groups each achieved that
general objective using different technical approaches and with varying levels
of sophistication and cost.
3. It fs essential that the users of a municipal data processing system maintain
absolute control over each detail of system development.
4. It is practical to design subsystems for muni.cipal data processing which
are sufficiently flexible to permit use by a number of municipalities having
somewhat different operating procedures .
5. Sunnyvale demonstrated that it is possible to define integrated municipal
, data system requirements in sufficient detail and explicitly enough to
award what is essentially-a "turn-key" fixed price contract.

6. Accordir.g to the users visited, the most effective use of computer facilities
by a municipality/county is in an on-line mode for input and inquiry purposes
--for most applications.
7. The use of a larqe central computer by a number of municipalities/counties
is practic�l.
8. Off-line,batch printing of routine reports (e.g., monthly budget, utility bills,
payroll checks) with delivery by courier is practical for municipalities where
the volume of printing activity does not justify installation of a remote high
speed printer in a using municipality.

,, Summar of Findin s
Y
, The Concept of Data Integration
• In the context of municipal operation , the tern "data" is intended to include any
' discrete bit of information which a municipality must handle in its operations . A
house number, a street name, an individual name, a social security number, a fund
transaction, an amount of cash pai.d, are each examples of discrete bits of information.
� Aggregated data provide information; e.g. , the name of a person, an account number, a
date, a dollar amount, aIi expressed in a certain format provide the information that
an individual made a payment on a utility bill. A re-aggregation of utility data can
' provide total billinqs , total payments or total consumption over some defined time
interval. An integrated, data system may be defined as one in which each data element
, is filed once, and only once, within the system, in such a way that any operation with-
in the system which relies on that element has access to it for purposes of inquiry,
updating, or aggregation, as appropriate to the operation. In the pure sense, then,
1 municipal files could all be characterized as a"people" file, a"things" file, and an
"events" file. Each file entry would be unique, and all municipal operations within a
single municipality wauld draw upon (and automatically update in the course of routine
' operations) these central files for purposes of control and for generating reports. In
order to make this concept workable in a practical sense,the speed and versatility of
a large computer is necessary to house the files, search them ragidly, operate on them,
' and display the results af the searching and operating. In order to provide the necessary
instructions,operating controls, data collection methods and reporting formats, extensive
design of forms , operatinq procedures , and computer programs is necessary so that each
, discrete municipal operation is consistent with all other operations in the way in which
it gains access to, and interacts with the central files. This, then, is what leads to
the concept of designing a"totally integrated" system. The principal advantage of the
' inteqrated system is that while it takes full advantage of any cost savings possible in
autom�ted data processir.c� of operations , it also uses those operations to maintain
files of data about persons, things and events in the municipality which can then be
� manipulated by the computer to easily produce a variety of timely reports for management
needs . At the same time , again as a by-product of normal operations , the capability
exists for quick and accurate response to a huge range of quesfions which may be asked
' by citizens, council members, and city staff personnel. This approach is being pur-
sued by Wichita Falls , Texas ._
, In contxast to the integrated systems approach to municipal automated data process.ing
is the "applications" appraach. Each operation or group of operations that is automated
has a separate data file, and the files are not compatible with each other. Thus,
' generation of utility bills would not automatically update all of the attendant accounting
transactions . Issuance of a home occupation permit would not be recorded in a central
' land records file and running a payroll would not update related personnel and accoun-
ting records . There could be no search of files to prep�re management reports, and
inquiry as to account or project status would require manual record searches .
' Between these two extremes are alternative approaches which possess some of the
advantages (and disadvantages) of each. These alternatives may be roughly categorized
' as a"partial integration" anc3 a"compatible file" approach.

The "parti�l integration" approach suggests th�3t there are certain municipal functions
which are for all practical purposes, totally independent of other functions, and
integration of files between such functions would provide few operational or infor-
mational advantages. Such independent functions can be described as discrete,
cl:osed-loop systems. Wichita Falls has identified ten such systems:
1. Law enforcement.
2. Disaster control (fire, civil defense, emergency rescue) .
3. Urban transportation.
4. Urban economic development (includes land use, property
improvement, property taxation) .
5. Urban environment (water, sewer, refuse, air, etc.).
6 . Finance .
7. Human resources--health.
8. Human resources--education.
9. Human resources--we•lfare.
10. Human development.
It is suggested from scanning the above list that little is to be �gained for most
Minnesota municipalities from automating and integrating the data flows from many
of these areas of operation. Sunnyvale, California, selected those areas which they
felt were most important to automate, and integrated the fil.es and operations within
each area.. They chose not to integrate all files between the apparently "discrete,
closed-loop systems ." Thus , the concept of "partial integr�tion ."
The "compatible file" approach makes use of the fact that if separate computerized
ciata files are properly organized, and if their contents are consistently arranged and
identifi�ble, it is possible at some later time to utilize data management programs
which can scan these files in answer to requests for information, can duplicate �
desired portions of the file, aggregate and analyze their content, rearrange the con-
tent, and print out special reports for management use, Thus, for all practical pur-
poses, much of the informational by-product of municipal operations can be obtained
without the need for extensive integration of systems . On the other hand, file storage
requirements may be greater, and problems in maintaining accurate and consistent
updating of files are greater, and comptrter time for scanning files and operating on
the files may be greater; thus, computer operational costs could be higher. In addition,
the data management programs �re complex and may be costly. Both Lane County,
Oregon, and tNe San Gabriel Valley group are utilizing this approach.
System Comparison

If the prirnary objectiv�s af an irit

, automate routine operations and to obtain more and better information for management
purposes, then the operational systems viewed during the tour can be considered from
, that perspective. The 3 operational systems were Lane County, Sunnyvale and San
Gabriel Valley. � All of these seem to be successful in their automation of the routine
municipal operations such as utility billing, payroll, accounting and police statistics.
, ' In addition, each provided capability for user/system interaction for purposes of
inquiry, generation of special reports and problem solving. Finally, each provided
some kinds of routine management reports . Principal differences among the systems
' were in the kinds of reports that could be generated f:om the data base. Sunnyvale
appeared to be the most sophisticated because in addition to summary reports and
budget status reports for routine operations in the conventional sense, it has been
� used to carry the city forward into program planning and budgeting concepts , and is
being further developed to use modeling techniques for predicting future city require-
ments. The other 2 systems did not possess either the PPBS or forecast/modeling
' capability. In addition, it appeared in a very general sense that the Sunnyvale system
was more cdmplete for a total investment comparable to the other 2 areas .
' Approach to Organizations
' Each area observed has organized to meet its data processing objectives in a manner
that depended larqely on the organizational environment of the area . In Lane County
a close working relationship has long existed between the City of Eugene and Lane
� County, and there are relatively few other municipalities in the�vicinity. Thus, it was
not unusual for the county to provide a leadership role in establishing computerized
operations first for its own needs and subsequently to accommodate its host city,
� Eugene, and other nearby small communities . A three-man board of county commissioners
coupled with a history of county/city cooperation enabled devel�pment of a very loose
and informal working relationship between the county data processing department and
, the municipalities, as evidenced by the fact that the county appears to be subsidizing
part of the municipal data processing costs .
� In the Sunnyvale case, the combination of a strong, new manager experienced in
data processing with an excellent staff and a council willing to make a substantial
commitment to a new way of doing thinr�s permitted the city to proceed on its own
' when other nearby communities were reluctant to partiei.pafe. � The resultant system
contains enough flexibility to accommodate other cities , and they are beginning to
participate. The cost of developing the system, even though shared with the operating
, service bureau, was substantial.
The San Gabriel Valley Area progressed in a manner similar to that being followed by
' the Minnesota mtinicipalities; i.e. , establishing a joint powers organization. �iow-
ever, there had been no prior history of cooperative agreements among the communi-
ties and therefore this one centered around elected representatives . As a result,
� managers and staff were not as involved as they should h�ve been and the extent to
which systerl clesign anci operation are geared ta marlagers' needs seems to be some-
what questionable. The organization is having financial problems and seems unable
,' to attract new users very rapidly.
�
�� . ;
��

'
�
Finally, the Wichita Falls approach to integrated systems development was through
federal funding. They were selected as a USAC city, and have been designing and
developing elements of an integrated system. The constraints applied by the USAC
program in terms of documentation, operating procedures; and operating areas to be
covered have resulted in slow progress . As a result, none of the operations are
using the new systems, and only two of the subsystems under development are in
tes ting .
�stem Development
��� � i
No clear-cut pattern for the development of a municipal data processing system seemeo
' to emerge with respect to technical s taffing and financing , On the. one hand , Lane
. County criticized the USAC approach as too heavily reliant on consultants , and insisted
that maintaining a strong data processing staff far system design and development is
' very important. On the other hand, Sunnyvale relies entirely on their consultant/
service bureau for the EDP technical work, but their own staff is intimately involved
with the definition of system requirements. The San Gabriel Valley MDS relies heavily
' on a consultant but uses their own staff for detailed system design and programming .
�
'
'
'
'
The approach to management of the system development task has been the same in
each area visited: the user has maintained absolute control over each detail of system
development. While organization and financing methods vary, the actual operation of
the. development program has been directed by mun icipal staff personnel.
Funding the system development �ost has varied �vith the resources of the area. In
Lane County the initial development costs were borne by the county. Sunnyvale bid
the initial system and it was funded jointly by the city and the successful bidder, who
is now operatinq the system as a service bureau. The San Gabriel Valley group received
50% of the initial devel opment cost from the Carnegie Foundation and Wichita Falls
received Federal funding.
�stem Organization
The single common element with respect to system operation for each of the operating
' areas visited was the importance of maintaining responsiveness to user needs. In
Lane County this is accomplished through an informal operating organization consistirg
of participatinc� managers �vho set policy for the data processing center. Sunnyvale
' defines working relationships with their service bureau through contract and the fact
that they describe their system as "machine independent, " thus could be switched to
another service bureau. Ti�e San Gabriel Valley group governs their NIDS through their
, Board of Directors (consisting of participant council members), but MDS claims to
have a close day-to-day wor�:ing relationship with city staff people.
'
'
�'�
In all inst�nces costs for operation are shared on the basis cf extent of usage of the
system (in Lar,e County the costs are shared in concept, bcat may be adjusted by
"negotiation" with the D.P, manager. This suggests at least partial user subsidy by
the county) .

MEMO DATE: February 24, 1972
MEMO NUMBER: CM #72-04

RE: Briardale Plat Area Storm Sewer and Drainage Outlet
We have brought to the City Council's attention the need for a
complete storm sewer system in the area East of Central Avenue
(Project #107) from time to time since 1961.
If the Council is going to keep allowing development of this
area this will accentuate the drainage problems we have, so the
Council has 3 choices if they do not want the drainage problems
increased:
l. Not to allow any more development until the drainage system
is provided.
.,,�, ,
Z,, To complete the system needed to take care o� the drainage
�' problem.
3. To do the construction of the system in a piecemeal way and
live with some of the drainage problems. '
- The City administration recommends the complete system if the
City Council does not want any drainage problems in the axea.
The Briardale improvements wexe discussed and approved by the
Council with the understanding this would add to the drainage
problem we have now because of not having a proper outlet.
The proposal is to retain the water in t�.e Briardale area pond
, temporarily and then outlet it into the area North of Rice Creek
Road. To provide outlet into the area North of Rice Creek Road
would reauire authorization from tne City Council to negotiate or
, condemn certain easements to instal� the pipe and iJe wou�d like
the City Council to consider this item at their meeting of
February 28, 1972. ,

Dear Mr. Brunsell:
February 9, 1972
Re: 7972 Boards of Review or Equalization
The 1971 Legislature has changed the meeting dates for holding
the local board of review or equalization. Boards must now meet
between May 1 and June 30th in each year. The board must also
complete its work and adjourn within t��enty (20) days from the
time of convening. '
Since the county assessor is required to set the date of the
meeting, I am proposing the following date: ,
Thursday June 1, 1972 at 8:00 P. M,
� If the above date is in conflict with a regular scheduled
meeting date, please contact me within ten (10) days, to
arrange for an alternate date.
� The main reason for establishing boards of review or equalization
dates this early is due to the fact a"Valuation Notice" must
be sent to all persons whose real property value was i.ncreased
�� over the previous year. The natice must contain the amount of
increase in terms of market value, the assessor's office
address and the dates, places and times set for the m�etings
'� of the local board of revietiv or equalization and the county
board of equalization. Valuation notices are scheduled to be
mailed in March and April.
