She said the blacktopping only goes about 6' beyond her house so if there is any action needed, it should be done before the street is com- pleted. Mayor Liebl asked the City Engineer to check into this and report back to the Council in one week with a copy of his report to be forwarded to Mrs. Hanscom. The City Engineer said that the Engineering Assistant has checked this out and there was no problem to his knowledge. He said he would check it out to see i£ there was any corrective work needed.

RESO.i,UTION #66-1972-A RESOLUTION WNFIRMING AS5ESSMENT FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT PROSECT ST. 1971-4:(Tabled 5-15-72) The Ca.ty Engineer said that the revised roll found in the Council .Aqenda is the result o£ the last meeting and the City Assessor has prepared a revised assess- ment roll for the Star Lane area and the 57th Avenue loopback area. Mayor Liebl said that he had read the memo from the City Manager dated May 30, 1972 and read a portion aloud to the audience. The point of dif£erence is as follows: "FOr the loopback portion of service roads along trunk highwavs, where the prime consideration Por their construction is traffic safety, the assessment � rate £or R-1 and R-2 properties be set at 2/3 the cost of a normal residential street. Al1 other existing policies relating to the assessment of state aid streets and other roadways to remain the same". He said the Staf£ and the Council has discussed this very extensively and the Council has always followed the policy set out in 1962, however this is a different situation. T �; �, �L d.� 4 REGULAR COUNCIL NIEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 3 Councilman Sreider asked if the roll in the Agenda has been run with this formula and the Crty Assessor said yes, it is 2/3 cost on residential property and actual cost on commercial property. MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt Resolution #66-1972 using the modi£ied roll for the loopback portions of the pro�ect at Star Lane and 57th Avenue at 2/3 the cost for residential property and the actual cost for commercial pro- perty. The assessable cost would then be $6.60 for residential and $12.50 £or commercial; further to instruct the Administration to prepare a change in the state aid assessment policy to re£lect this type of situations. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Mayor Liebl said that the Council tried to give credit where possible, but of course, a new street could not be put in for nothing. The original roll was $9.90 and this is $6.60 and he felt the people should accept that. THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION t�67-1972 - A RESOLUTION TRANSFERRING EUNDS FROM THE STATE AID REVOLVING ACCOUNT TO THE ST. 1971-4 STREET IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR A PORTION OF iMPROVEMENTS TO TH� INTERSECTIONS AT 57TH AVENUE AND UNIVERSITY, AND 61ST AVENUE AND UNIVERSITY: The City Assessor said the blanks should be filled in as follows: second paragraph, $89,705.98 and the fifth paragraph $43,844.26. MOTION by Counczlman Breider to adopt Resolution #67-1972 with those figures. Seconded by Councilman Mittelstadt. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, rilayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH VERN DONNAY AND AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUING BUILDING PERMITS FOR 16 SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS IN MEADOWMOOR TERRFICE UNDER FEDERAL PROGRAM 235: (Tabled 5-15-72) The City Engineer said that a representative £rom Vern Donnay's Nrill be present at the meetiny tonight, however he has not axrived as yet. He suggested passing on and coming back to this item. MOTION by Councllman Mittelstadt to table this item until later in the meeting. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ON CATV ADVISORY WMMITTEE: Mayor Liebl said that ua January and February of this year the Council invited comments, proposed amendments or changes to the CATV Ordinance from anyone who wa.shed to make a suggestion, or to discuss any portion they did not like or was not clear to them. This invitation went unanswered, which makes it quite clear to him what their intentions are on this issue_ He said now he is asking for volunteers to act on a CATV Advisory Committee, and he would like the Council's suggestions next week on who should serve. This committee could then be given 60 days to bring forth any amendments or changes to the CATV Ordinance. 1 , , REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 4 � l,�r� i� v� �% ' These people that would be appointed should be open-minded and the appointments should be taken out of the political realm, and the only consideration should be the good of the community. He said he would like to have someone from the education field, perhaps Councilman Utter could make a suggestion here. There could also be people from business, religion, labor etc., to accomplish a cross section of people. He said he would like to find out i£ the people want amendments, and if so what, and also i£ they get their amendments, do they sti11 want the re£erendum? He then asked the rest of the Council if they agreed to work on this and put it on next week's Agenda and the Council replied yes. Mayor Liebl continued that the appointments to the committee should not be based on partisanship, but on service to the community. Forming this committee would let the people of Fridley know and understand what CATV is all about. Mrs. Helen Treuen£els, 5248 Horizon Dra.ve, said that it is not true the petitioners have not said what they wanted changed. One instance, they did not feel the franchise should be 15 years and another, the schools had asked for a 6 month moritorium and that was not granted, and they did not like that. The 15 year franchise length was disapproved of by the people in many discussions, and to say nothing has been suggested is �ust not true. Mayor Liebl saa.d one o£ his suggestions would be Father Ed Chmielewski of St. William's Church. This man a.s neither pro or con and is very community orientated and would serve on that basis. This committee would be appointed by the Mayor � with the agreement of the Council. He asked, do we want Metro control? Since January the school districts have had sa.x months which is what they asked for. Mr. Sim Gibson said that in April he was in DesMOines, Iowa and he noticed in the legals that they had had a referendiun on the CATV question. Under the Iowa law a re£erendum is required. The vote showed SSo in £avor of cable television. The ordinance they passed was not as good as Fridley's, and mentioned that it was $12.50 a month instead of the $7.50 it is here. Also the City was not receiving anything for the franchise and Fridley will receive $25,000. There was no pro- vision for senior citizens and the charge for hooking up was more. He said he thought Fridley had a tremendous ordinance. Mayor Liebl said that this Council has no personal interest in any CATV company, his only interest was to in£orm the citizens befare they go to the polls, and let them hear the truth. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to place the appointments to the CATV Advisory Committee on the Agenda for June 12th. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. RECEIVING REPORT EROM CITY ATTORNEY REGARDING ISLAND OF PEACE TRANSFER: The Crty Attorney reported that he had met with some of the people from the Conservation Department and has found that the State has a policy which prevents � it from giving the City title to the island, but they can lease it to the City o£ Fridley. The maximum term of a lease is 1D years and the suggestion was made that a payment of $100 would be appropriate for the 10 year pera.od. He said he was told that there should not be any reason it could not be renewed at the end of 10 years. Ae said they were in Pavor of the proposed use of the island, but by state statute they must charge enough to cover the paper work. This is the ��� REGULAR COi7iVCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 5 island north of Durnam Island which has no name. He said the State wants the , City to retain the responsibility during the 10 year period that it would be under the lease. They have no ob�ection i£ Fridley enters into an agreement with other organizations, as long as the responsibility rests with the City. If the Council is in favor of entexing into this lease arrangement, authariza�ion for the City Manager and Mayor to sign the lease is required. Councilman Mittelstadt asked if there are any limitations on what can be done to the island while under the lease. The City Attorney said that you cannot interfere with navigation, build builclings that cannot be moved and i.f there are going to be any structures built on the island the State would want to look at the plans first. Mayor Liebl said that a 10 year lease ior $100 would seem reasonable, and added that he was very much impressed with the response from the various organizations. Mr. Richard Harris asked if a structure is planned. Mayor Liebl said that would be under the 7urisdiction of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Manager added the plans have not been finalized yet, but any plans will have to come before the Council for approval. Mayor Liebl added that it may be possible for Fridley to get some funds £rom the Secretary o.f the Interior £or the maintenance of the island. Mr. Harris asked where the access would be and the Crty Manager said that the proposal so .far is to use Chase Island as an access point, then during the sLUnmer, Uoats could be taken to the north island. Mr. Harris said that if the City is responsible then they would also have to pro- � vide police and fire protection. The Crty Manager said yes,and added that the Pire Department �ust put out a grass fire on the island last week. Mr. Ed Wilmes said that Fridley and the State of Minnesota are very fortunate to haoe citizens that care enough about the handicapped people to do something about it, and are willing to assist with this pro�ect. Throughout this project he has been met with a warm welcome and open doors. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to authorize the City Manager and Mayor to sign the lease agreement with the State of Minnesota for a period of 10 years for a fee o£ $100. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH VERN DONNAY AND AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUING BUILDING PERMITS FOR 16 SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS IN MEADOWMOOR TERRACE UNDER FEDERAL PROGRAM 235: MOTION by Councilman Mrttelstadt to remove this item £rom the table. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimouslv_ The City Engineer said that on Page SC of the Agenda is a map showing where Vern Donnay is proposing to build the homes. He said he has met with the appla.cants and there is a list of improvements to the existing ordinance on Page 5B that he would like to see incorporated into the aqreement, and Vern Donnay has agreed � to them. Also in the proposed agreement there is a provision for a aompletion bond or a cerY.ified check. He said the representative has arrived at the Meeting, and asked him to comment. � ���1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 6 � NLre Robert Gottsacker said they had looked over the agreement and the stipu- lations and agreed to them. Councilman Mittelstadt said that as to Stipulation #8 regarding the sod, he felt the back yards should be sodded also. At the hearing there were many com- ments heard on this issue. There is top soil provided in the stipulation, but he £elt that unless the sod was required, there would be a problem. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to amend Stipulation #S to require sod in the back yards along with the front yard, side yards and boulevards. Mr. Gottsacker said that this is not required of anyone else and the F.H.A. does not require it. He asked, what if the people would want to put in a garden in the back yard, then the sod would have to be ripped back out? He said it �ust could not be provided, they could not afford it. Mayor Liebl asked i£ he agreed with all the other stipulations and Mr. Gottsacker said yes, they will sod the front yard, the side yards and the boulevards and in addition they plan on putting some trees in the boulevard area. Councilman Breider asked if by "topsoil" they plan on using black dirt and Mr. Gottsacker said yes, it wi11 have to be hauled in, that area is all sand. Councilman Mittelstadt said that the people in the area £elt very frustrated on this issue, and he felt that the Council had the right to go that far in requiring the top covering. He added that he felt that Vern Donnay could really afford to sod. Mr. Gottsacker said it would wst about $250 to sod one back yard. Mayor Liebl suggested that since all the � homes would be build within a certain length of time, that the sod operation could all be combined and then he could get a better price. Mr. Gottsacker said they �ust could not do it, and said that they are already providing quite a bit more than the Code required. Mayor Liebl asked i£ any o£ the Council wished to second Councilman Mittelstadt's motion, with Councilman Utter offering a SECOND. Councilman Breider asked the City Attorney if this requa.rement could be made legally binding, and the City Attorney said no. I£ Fridley wants to require the back yards to be sodded, there would have to be an amendment to the ordinance and that would apply to all lots in the City. He did not think this require- ment was enforceable. Councilman Breider said that in looking at the Slaine pro�ect, he did not see any topsoil, just sand. He did notice some people trying to do some yard work such as planting shrubs etc. He thought the 11 wnditions £or building would make this pro�ect a substantial improvement over that in Blaine. The City Attorney added that he believed that Fridley's Code is more stringent than Blaine's. THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, Mittelstadt and Utter voting aye, Breider and Liebl voting nay, Mayor Liebl declared the MOTION FAILE➢. Mayor Liebl then read the 11 stipulations aloud £or the audience. He said he did not see any driveways in the Blaine pro�ect. Mr. Gottsacker said that they are all done at one time, when the weather is warm_ � MOTION by Councilman Sreider to approve the agreement as found in the Council Agenda and the 11 stipulations proposed by the City Engineer. Seconded by Councilman Utter. ✓� J��� a _, REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF �"UNE 5, 1972 PAGE 7 Councilman Mittelstadt said that as to Stipulation #10 in regard to shutting ' the water o�f, this would hurt the home ocaner, not the contractor, and he would hate to see that happen. The City Engineer explained that the water is turned on when the house is under construction, but it cannot be occupied unta.l there is an inspection and the CertiPicate of Occupancy is issued. This is also a requirement of their F.H.A. financing. Mayor Liebl said he would like to cofimend the sta£f for working out these stipu- lations and if the Buildinq inspectar keeps on top of this pxoject, it wi11 be a good �ob when it is done. Councilman Mittelstadt asked what were the chances of maintaining this agreement a£ter July lst. The City Attorney said they would have to meet the existing Code at the time the application was made. In this case, they have agreed to abide by the existing Code. He pointed out that if this had happened some time a£ter the State Code went into effect, and the zoning was proper, the Council would have no alternative but to grant the permit with the greatly lessened building requirements• Councilman Mittelstadt said that the fact that Vern Donnay could have waited until after the State Code went into effect to take out his permit, but chose not to, is a big plus for his company. Mayor Liebl commented that everyone cannot afford to buy $50,000 homes, and he surely hoped Vern Donnay will keep his word. THE VOT� UPON THE MOTTON, being a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. The City Engineer said tliat the Vern Donnay Co. has been very cooperative and he hoped they would continue to do so while they are building the houses, because , o.f his limited staff. FIRST READING DF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE BY ESTABLISHING TAE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT CITY .MANAGER/PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR AND AUTHORIZING DUTIES FOR SAID POSITION: N1r. Gerald R. Davis, City Manager, said that it was with great pleasure he would introduce Mr. James P. Hill, Assistant Crty Manager/Public SaPety Director. He said he was pleased that Mr. Hill could �oin the City Hall Staff and put the reorganization plan which the Council adopted for the Police Department into e£fect. Mr. Hill said that he was very happy to be here and would work to his utmost ability for the betterment o£ the community. (Applause) The City Manager said the City Attorney drew up this ordinance which formalizes the previous Council action. It clariPies the duties previously assigned to the Chief of Police which are now assigned to this new position. The City Attorney will be codifying the Cocle Book this summer so any other small discrepencies will be cleared up at that time. The City Attorney said this could be looked upon as a temporary ordinance and that when the Code Book is recodi£ied, where reference is made to Y.he Chie£ of Police, the new wording will be put in. MOTION by Councilman Sreider to approve the ordinance on first reading and waive the reading. Seconded by Councilman Utter. ppon a roll call vote, La.ebl, Utter, Mittelstadt and Sreider voting aye, Mayox Liebl declared the motion carried � unanimously. °? a.,� � � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PBGE 8 � CONSIDERATION OF BLACKTOPPING LICENSE APPLICATION FOR ASPHAI.T DRIVEWAY COMPANY: The City Engineer said this company's record in other communities is not good, and before a license was issued, he wanted a representative from the company to appear before the Council. Mayor Liebl said according to the report they had a license in Fridley £or the 1966-67 and the 1967-68 years but were denied a license in 1970. Ms. Albert Frienchik, General Manager for Asphalt Driveway Company, said that he has been with the company three years, and has been the manager since 1971. At that time they did some reorganizing of their company, and prior to that time they had a man that was not doing his �ob properly. He said, as to their bad record, they have spent thousands of dollars on the complaints. Mayor Liebl asked how many people they have in their company and Mr. Frienchik replied about 25. Mayor Liebl asked if they work in the whole metro area and Mr. Frienchik said yes, they 7ust do driveways. Councilman Breider said that he understood they had the most complaints a.n 1971, and asked i.f they had been taken care of. Mr Frienchik said yes, they provide an unconditional guarantee that they will take care of any de£ects in the next year. They like to let a driveway set one year be£ore going back. Their guarantee would cover the period from the beginning of one season to the end of the next. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to grant the blacktopping license to Asphalt Driveway Company, 1211 East Highway #36, 5t. Paul, Minnesota £or one year. � Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl dec- lared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF USED CAR LOT LICENSE APPLICATION FOR FRANK'S USED CAR LOT, REQUEST BY FRAIQK GABRELCIK: The City Manager called the Council's attention to the inspection report in the Council Aqenda on Page #9A and read his memo dated June 6, 1972 which contains the Staff recommendations, should the Council wish to grant the license. Mayor Liebl asked if Mr. Gabrelcik had paid the $SO fee for the license and Mr. Gabrelcik replied yes. Mayor Liebl said that he has had car bodies with the caheels oPf, and parts sitting on his lot, however, only saleable cars are allowed on a used car lot. Mayor Liebl said that Mr. Gabrelcik has stated in the past he would comply with that requirement Mr. Gabrelcik said that he does not have any �unkers sitting on his lot, except once in a while, but they do not sit there very long. Mayor Liebl said he understood that Mr. Gabrelcik has acquired a 40' tax Por£eit lot. The license granted did not include this lot. It has also been brought to the Council's attention that Mr. Gabrelcik has been parking cars on SSth Avenue and this is not allowed, as it has not been vacated. The Police Department has told Mr. Gabrelcik several times to move them. Mr. Gabrelcik replied that he did move them. Mayor Liebl said that if the occasion arises where it is necessary to tear down a car, he should get it out of sight as he does not have a license for a junk yard. This business is located on University Avenue and should present a good appearance. Mr. Gabrelcik pointed out that he � does not actually have a back yard. Councilman Mittelstadt suggested a£ourth stipulation that he is not to park cars on 58th Avenue. Mr. Gabrelcik said he did noL-, those are customers cars. �� � REGULAR CDUNCIL MEETING OF SUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 9 The City Manager read the first stipulation regarding the requirement for cyclone ' fencing and asked if he would agree. Mr. Gabrelcik said that then the used cars could not be s�en. The City Manager said that this would de.fine his property Prom the right of way. Mr. Gabrelcik asked how he could get onto SSth Avenue then. The Crty inanager said that a gate could be installed. He then read the second stipulation that the property is not to be used £or junking, repaix ox dismantling of vehicles, and Mr. Gabrelcik said that he did not have any "7unkers". The City Manager then read the third stipulation providing that any other property he owns would also require a permit Por its use. Mr. Gabrelcik said that he owns the land and he plans on vacating 58th Avenue, so he cotzld see no reason for the £ance. Mayor Liebl said that the vacation o£ the street would depend upon the tra£fic pattern. If someone were to want to develop the whole block, then 58th Avenue would have to be considered in that tra£fic £low. He said people call the State to complain about the cars parked on the right of way because it is unsightly. Mr. Gabrelcik said that he did not want "�unkers" on his lot either because they don't bring in any money and he tries to get rid o£ them as soon as possible. All used car lots have this same problem. Councilman Mittelstadt said there is no provision in the ordinance which allows a potential buyer to dismantle or to work on a car on that lot. There is no other activity allowed except for the sale of the used cars. Councilman Utter said that he had gone down to look at the lot and it is in pretty bad condition. There is a body of a truck in the back that has been there � as long as he could remember. Mr. Gabrelcik denied that the lot was in bad con- dition and said he would take care of his place. MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to approve the Used Car Lot License for Frank Gal�relcik, 5740 University Avenue for one year, sub�ect to the following stipu- lations- l. Cyclone fencing at least 4 Peet in height on the north and south portions of the property to de£ine his property £rom the public right of way. 2. Agreement and understanding by Mr. Gabrelcik that the property is not to be used £or �unking, repair or dismantling of vehicles, but merely for used car sales. 3. Any new territory other than that contained in the original area for which permits were issued will require proper permits and approval. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Eldon Schmedeke, Planning Commission, said that 58th Avenue is still in the "Circle Flow" pattern and rt could not be vacated until the tra££ic flow is determined. He suggested that there should be some boulevard socl put in on the south side of SSth Avenue and on the east side of 3rd Street. This would help beautify the area greatly and it would be protected by the £encing the Council is requiring. Councilman Mittelstadt said that Mr. Schmedeke's suggestion was a good point and asked that it be discussed with Mr. Gabrelcik when he comes into City Hall for his license. Councilman Mittelstadt said that there are people in the audience for Item #Z1 ' (the walkway for Robert Louis Stevenson School) and asked that it be considered next. ������ oJ l ° / REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 10 ' CONSIDERATION OF PROPO5AL FOR WALKWAY BETWEEN RIVERVIEW TERRACE & ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON ELENIENTARY SCHOOL: The City Enga.neer said the City Council has been concerned about pedestrian safety for some time. About l� years ago there was a proposal prepared for East River Road which included pedestrian access to Robert Louis Stevenson School. Last year the Council did approve funding for this walkway and there have been meetings with the school concerning maintenance. The school has agreed to provide the maintenance of the walkway, such as snowplowing. The area has been looked at very closely to determine the proper location of the walkway and the proposed location is in the Council Agenda on Page #21A. This would provide the most direct route to the school. Letters have been sent to the property owners affected if the walkway is to be put in by the City. Mayor Liebl said that he received a call shortly before Memorial Day and that person was very upset because they had 7ust received the letter and within a week there were stakes in their yards. He said the original intent was to put in a full street Prom 62nd Way to River Edge Way but that was denied Uy the Council. The City Engineer said yes, the Council had decided to put in the walkway instead. It is a very dangerous situation to have the children walking on the west sa.de of East River Road £rom the apartments to the school. The School Board feels this is definitely a safety problem. This walkway would be to provide a safe access to the school for the children liva.ng in these areas because there are no buses. � Mayor Liebl said that he did not want it on his conscience if a child gets killed walking to school along East River Road. I3e said if the people involved sincerely feel that their individual rights are being in£ringed upon, they could seek legal counsel, but he personally felt that this situation cannot be ignored any longer He said that everything possible will be done to retain the individual's privacy, including a fence if they wish one. He appologized for the misunder- standing in regard to the stakes in their yards. Councilman Mittelstadt said that although this plan has been considered for about two years, he became aware of it last January. He has contacted the School Board on what routes they planned for the walkway. He has looked at the plans and he said he and Mr. Sangster agreed with the plan as proposed, and that he had invited Mr. Sangster to attend the Meeting tonight Mr. Gordon Sangster, Chairman of the Board of Education, District #14, said that the schools like to have the children walk to school rather than riding the bus if they live within one mile o£ the school and do not have to cross a main thoroughfare. Statistics favor the safety in walking over riding a school bus. There have been two bad accidents associated with the school and since that time the lights have been put in. Now only the children on River Edge Way walk to school, if the sidewalk was put in 98% would walk. The School District will run a sidewalk from the walkway across the school property to the school building, and will assume the responsibility for snowplowing from the schocl to 62nd Way. Mayor Liebl said there was not enough right o£ way on East River Road to put in � a sidewalk and maintain it, there would be no place for the snow. He said the people are the most concerned about their privacy and what this would do to thea.r property. Mr. Sangster said that in Pebruary the School Board formally adopted a resolution for matching a sidewalk from the building to the walkway and for the maintenance of the walkway. �A �� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 11 The City Engineer said that the stakes in the yards were only to locate the � property irons for the purpose of this discussion, and to better visualize how this route would af£ect �the property owners. He said he had talked to 5 of the 6 property owners involved to give them the information on this proposal, but was unable to contact the sixth. He then showed the map on the overhead pro- �ector and pointecl out the properties involved. He said the first thing that must be established is the route. Then there would be some discussion with the property owners on the e£fect this would have on their property. It is legally possible to condemn,but he was not suggesting that, it would be much easier to cooperate with the people. The City Attorney said first the City ought to negotiate with the property owners to arrive at a price for the property both the people and the City think reasonable. In the negotiations there should also be some discussion on whether there should be fencing and/or landscaping. The next question is whether the City should c'to the fencing and hedges, or let the home owners do it on their own. Councilman Mittelstadt said that as to the fencing and any plantings, he felt that should be done by the City because then it would be uniform and there would also be the assurance that it would be done. He said he understood the people at 128 River Edge Way were not notified and the .first they heard was when the stakes appeared in their yard and they were quite upset. He assured them that the stakes were only to locate the irons. Mr. Bert Slater, 128 River Edge Way, (LOt 21, Block 1, River Edge Addition) said they were new residents in Fridley, and he heard about this from his neighbors. He said he has come down to City Hall twice to find out about this proposal, but � has had difficulty in getting the in£ormation. He said he had heard there were proposals Por three walkways. Niayor Liebl said to the best of his knowledge the only proposal considered is this one. Mr. Slater said in his opinion the walkway going between Lots 20 & 21 would cost three times as much as if it was on one of the end lots. Mayor Liebl said that in the School Board's 7udgment, this is the most logical place to put the walkway. Mr. Slater said that he was against this proposal, he did not know al�out this proposed walkway when he bought the property, or he would not have bought it. He said someone should have notified him, and he only £ound out about this from heresay. He said he understood some of the people are not opposed to the walk- way, but he is going on record as being opposed. Mayor Liebl said that human life was more important than any piece of property, the people are entitled to reimbursement, but as a father, he felt this improvement must go in. Mr. Bob Erickson, 164 Itiver Edge Way said that he had everything to gain and nothing to lose by this proposal because his property was not involved, but he would like to know how the negotiations would be conducted and i£ there would be ha.gh pressure tactics used. Mayor Liebl said the City Attorney, City Manager and the City Engineer would meet with the people. There would be no high pressure use, and this pro7ect should proceed in the spirit of cooperation. Mrs. Slater said when they moved here, they did not know a soul, but since hearing about this, their phone has been busy. She said she called the School after the � stakes were put in, and was told there was nothing official yet, now she hears from Mr. Sangster that the School Board already passed a resolution. She said they have no children, but she could not see how this can be done to a tax payer. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE S, 1972 ��k� PAGE 12 ' Mr. R.ichard Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, saa.d that because of the new road in A1 Rose Addition, condemning the Mico Station on East River Road, and allowing right turns only of£ East River Road, he wondered what the increase in traffic would be on the side roads from the apartments to 62nd Way. He suggested that motorized vehicles be banned from the walkway at the times when the children would be using it. Mayor Liebl said this is intended as a walkway and would not be for vehicles. Mr. Harris said that perhaps bicycles should also be excluded, as sometimes bikes and small children do not mix too well. Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Harris if he was in Pavor of the walkway and he replied yes, he did not believe in busing children to school, but he had no opinion on 7ust how it should be done. Mayor Liebl said that the traffic on Riverview Terrace would be neighborhood generated, or he would not be in favor of this plan. Ae would want to maintain the traffic as it is, as a residential neighborhood. Mr. Bud Davis, 170 62nd Way, (Lot 3, Block 1, Potasek's Addition) said that his only question was how this was to be handled, but �that seems to be answered, so he believed somethinq could be worked out. Mr. Robert Latz, 161 River Edge h'ay, (LOt 9, Block 1, River Edge Addition) asked how tra£fic would be controlled on the walkway between the homes in regard to the motorcycles and motor bikes. Mayor Liebl said the Law En£orcement would take care o£ that, and that this walkway would be put in for a speci£a.c purpose. Mr. Latz asked who would be responsable if there was an accident and the City Attorney said the City would be i£ there was negligence. Mr. Latz asked if this would be an easement or would the City purchase the property. The City Attorney � said that it would be to the property owner's benefit if it was to be an ease- ment as then it could only be used for this specific use and if that use ceased, then it would revert back to the original property owner. Mr. Latz asked if i,,,der an easement arrangement, would the City be liable in the event of an accident. The City Attorney said that there could be a stipulation made that the City and/or the School would be responsible, and added that this walkway could not be limited only to children. It could be posted and made a mis- demeanor to ride motorized vehicles on it. Councilman Mittelstadt said that an educational program through the Stevenson School would be helpful to fully inform the children. Mr. Slater said there are other lots along River Edge Way with more £ootage and it would cost about three times less at some other location. He said he was sorry he could not agree, but he was really quite aggravated. Councilman Mittelstadt said that whether the easement was between Lots 22 & 23 or Lots 19 s 20, would not make any difference as far as cost was concerned, they are all 120 foot deep lots, so he did not understand Mr. Slater's point that it would be 3 times less elsewhere. The exact route could be left open and discussed more Pully with the property owners in light of Mr. Slater's comments. Mayor Liebl said that there have been comments made as to a statement being made; "$50 - Take it or leave it", but he could not understand where that got started, no one at City Hall would make such a statement. He was sure this could be negotiated to the satisfaction of everyone. � The City Engineer said that the proposed walkway would be 5' wide, with 5' being taken from each lot on each side, so there would be 2'�' between the sidewalk and the home owner's property on each side of the walkway. As to the statement, "$50 - Take it or leave it", he had never made such a comment, although he has `�U'pi REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 13 advised them what the proposal was, has checked into the property values with the ' Ci�y Assessor and checked into the wst of the fencinq. He also did advise them that the City has the rtght of condemnation, but that the City did not want to go that route. The City's zntent is to try to protect their property, not take advantage of them, and they have been told that the City is willing to consider fencing, bushes or hedges, or a combination o.f these. One property owner did not care to have a fence as he £elt that it would not be aesthetically pleasing. There has also been some discussion of prohibiting motorized vehicles, and whether the property should be given by deed or easement. He said he would agree with the City Attorney that it should be conveyed by easement because then the use would be restricted to only this purpose. The taxes would be based on what the property is worth and he had been advised by the Assessing Department that that £ootage would probably be taken off the total land value. Mrs. Kenneth Anderson, 132 River Edge Way, (Zot 20, Block 1, River Edge Addrtion) said she did not oppose the walkway, but it seemed to her that it could be moved a little. There are two garages which abut each other, and she thought this would be a more logical place, and would be cheaper. The walkway would then jut a little, rather than being stra�ght. The City Manager said that he believed the behavior of children is such that they will take the shortest route, whether there are sidewalks or not, and if they had to walk � block to pick up a side- walk again, they would not do it, but go across a lawn instead. Mr. Gerald Maecke]hergh, Principal of Robert Louis Stevenson School, agreed and said they have planned to run their sidewalk £rom where the walkway comes out between Lots 20 & 21 straight to the school. If the sidewalk was moved £urther down � they would run into trouble with a receiving area £or the kitchen. The children would take the shortest route, sidewalk or not. The City Manager said that children do not really pay much attention to property lines, for that reason the sidewalk should be a straight shot to keep them o.ff people's property. Mr. Maeakelbergh said that the Sylvan Hills walkway has been successful, they have not received any calls about the children using areas other than the walk- way, and there have been no vehicles. Mrs. Anderson said the City Engineer has said there would be a 10 foot easement, 6ut how much more would the City want for the £ence� The City Engineer said the fence would be placed within that 10 £eet. There would be a 5' sidewalk and S for snow storage. Mrs. �nclerson asked when they would be meeting. Mayar Liebl said if the proposal is adopted, that the City Attorney and the City Enqineer will be contacting the people to arrange the financial settlement. The City Engineer explained that the actual cost of the sidewalk is not too great, the cost is in the fencing, shrubbery, and the cost o£ acquiring the easement. The criteria used for determimng the payment £or the property will be the assessed land value from the City Assessor's office. 2£ too much is o£fered, the City would be open to criticism also. He said throughout this proposal, they have tned to keep the impact on the neighboxhood to a minimum, and added that hedges would provide a bettex sound barrier_ MOTION by Councilman Breider to instruct the Administration to meet with the six property owners to explain to them what the sidewalk would look like and the possible locations, then to establish the easement lines and negotiate the cost , of the easement, and to include in the discussion the fencing and/or hedges. Seconded by Councilman Mittelstadt. Mrs. Slater said that she would like to be in£ormed by letter of the next meeting concerning this item. , �I o� � p�� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 14 Mr. William Hoyt, 190 62nd Way N.E., (LOt 2, Block 1, Potasek's Addition) said that everyone is concerned about the safety of children and in that vein he would like to point out that he believes that the corner o£ 62nd Way and Riverview Terrace is a very dangerous corner. Mayor Liebl commented that there are 400 cars going down Mercury Drive from the apartment houses and there are over 20 children on his block, but they manage to survive. Councilman Breider asked how long it would take to put in the sidewalk. The City Engineer said that most o£ the people want the walkway a.nstalled as quickly as possible. As the Council has given authorization to acquire the right of way, once that is completed, the sidewalk could be done in two weeks. The Council asked for a report on the progress on Sune 19th. THE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. RECE55. Mayor Liebl declared a recess at 10:20 P.M. The Meeting was reconvened at 10:45 P.M. RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ML�ETING OF MAY 17, 1972: The City Engineer reported that Item #1 (Vicki Ski£f) and #2 (miscellaneous a.nformal discussion items) required no Council action at this time. PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL, PHASE I(QUADRAMINIUMS) BY VIESdCON, IIGC. Condominium portion of total multiple unit comple�c on part of Outiot H, Innsbruck North Addition being the 1600 Block. The Crty Engineer showed the location on the overhead pro�ector and Mr. Mike Wirtanen of Viewcon, came forward to show the Council a model o£ one quadra- minium. They axe four units in a cluster, each facing a di£ferent direction so the yard is private, with detached garages. Each unit has one garage plus a parking stall. The Planning Commissa.on reviewed the plans and recommended approval. If the Council approves the preluninary plans, Viewcon must go back before the Planning Commission for final approval of the plans. Councilman Utter asked i£ the garages were ra.ght along the road, and if this is a private road. The City Engineer said yes, it is a private road which will be maintained by the Townhouse Association, and it is connected to onc o£ the main roads. Councilman Utter asked what if the Fire Department got a call. The Crty Engineer said the City still has the right oP access and the road would be like those in Georgetowns, and would not be high tra£fic volume streets. He added this proposal isn't the best, but the traf£ic would be minimal. Mr. Wirtanen said that the only trafPic there would be would be the residents. Councilman Sreider said, supposing one couple invited four couples over to their � house, where would they park? The City Engineer said in the street, there would generally be spaces available. There are two parka.ng spaces per unit. Council- man Breider said that most people have two cars and on occasion most people have guests, so he thought this would create a parka.ng problem. Mayor Liebl asked how many plans for the quadraminiums Viewcon has submitted, and Mr. Wirtanen said this is the second and they £eel this one is better because it saves more land. The clusters can be moved up, down or sideways to miss the trees. ��„ REGULAR COUNCIL NIEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 PAGE 15 Mayor Lie7�1 asked if the plans meet the Code requirements. The City Engineer replied that £or R-3 the requirement is 2 parking spaces for a 2 bedroom unit, however, under the townhouse portion o£ the ordinance, this is a minimum and ad�ustments are a Councll prerogaiive. Councilman Breider asked if the quadra- miniums represent an increase in density. The City Engineer said no, the agree- ment was for the whole pro7ect and they are still within the number of units approved. Ae e�lained that the problem with the first p1an was that there were some fire requirements they could not meet, so they redrew their plans. He suggested the Council could grant preluninaxy approval with the understanding they are to work on thezr parking .6e£ore going back befare the Planning Com- mission. MOTION by Councilman Utter to table tlzis rtem until Viewcon can come up with a better plan for the parking in the quadraminium portion of the project. Seconded by Councilman Brea.der. Councilman Breider said in looking at the plans, it appears that everything is stuck in so close together. The City Engineer explained that the only di£ference between this plan and a normal townhouse is that townhouses are usually in a row side by side and these are grouped in a square. Councilman Breider asked how a fire tsuck would get in if there were cars parked on both sides of the street. The Fire Prevention Bureau Chief said this is a 26' street, and if cars were on both sides, they could not get in. The City Engineer pointed out that this would be true also if it was a normal townhouse layout. The reason this was done in this fashion was to conserve the natural beauty of the area. Councilman Utter said then if the Fire Department got a call, then got hal£way down the street and found they could not get through, they would have to back up and go around from the other direction. The Administrative Assistant said there were 60 units, 60 garages and 60 parking stalls which is the minimum allowed. They planned on moving the parking around as they went to save as many trees as possible. Councilman Breider said the garages are so close to the street, that as you would back out of the garage, the back of the car would be on the road, and you would have a blind spot. He asked i£ these were the same as Viewcon was building in Brooklyn CentAr and Mr. Wirtanen said no there are none like this in the metro area, although they are building some in Colorado. Councilman Utter asked what about the one on 57th Avenue North and June Avenue North. Mr. Wirtanen said those are townhouses and there are adequate garages there. Mayor Liebl said that we are talking about a very nice area in the City of Fridley and when the concept approval was given the main concern of the Council was to integrate the buildings into the environment as closely as possible to maintain the ecological balance. Councilman Utter commented that it seems that the clusters are so close together there would not even be room for a tree. N1r. Wirtanen said on the contrary, they are 40' apart and in some cases more. Each front door looks out onto their own private court. Mayor Liebl commented that rows of townhouses would not look too nice either, and could end up looking like a barracks. This plan would break it up and use the land to better advantage. The City Engineer said that Councilmen Breider and Utter are correct, thre are problems with the parking and traf£ic, but the concept of the building itself could be approved. Councilman Breider said that he would pre£er to table it until the parking solution could be looked � 1 � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5, 1972 ���� PAGE 16 I into. Councilman Utter said that there could be 120 cars in that immediate area if everyone had two cars. As Councilman Breider said i£ a few of those couples had parties at the same time, the emergency vehicles could not get through. He agreed that something should be done about the garage placement that Councilman Breider mentioned and also the visitor parking.

(REQUEST BY SIGNCRAFTER'S INCORPORATED, 13 77TH AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA): The City Engineer reported that the Board of Appeals recommended denial. McDOnalds has a mansard roof, so the question was whether this was to be considered a roof sign or a wall sign, and showed the Council pictures of how the sign would look. He said McDonalds will be taking their arches down. Councilman Utter said that when he thinks of a roo£ sign, he would think o£ one that would be on top of a building. Councilman Breider asked if this sign would be standard on all their buildings across the country and the City Engineer replied yes. Mayor Liebl said that they already have been given permissa.on £or a non-con£orming sign that will have to come down in 1974. The City Engineer explained that that provision applies to billboards, and this is considered a business sign, so that does make a difference. The Administrative Assistant said that if this is con- sidered a roo£ sign, he did not feel that it was that ob7ectionable. Mayor Liebl said that if this is granted, there would be one roof sign and one free standing sign, and he thought the roof sign was supposed to take the place of the free standing sign. The City Attorney asked if the free standing sign meets the ordinance. The City Engineer said yes, i£ you only consider the lettering, if you include the arches, it does not. Councilman Utter said that this is a sign on a building that faces Universrty , Avenue. They will be taking their arches down and want the building sign to con- form with the structure of the building and the rest of their buildings across the country. They will be putting 1 leg on the arches, rather than two. G��; REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 5� 1972 PAGE 19 The City Attorney said that he would envision a roo£ sign as one that sits on ' top o£ a building. This one, strictly speaking, would be more like a wall sign than a roof sign. FIe suggested the Staff could work on clarifying this question in the Sign Ordinance, so that if it comes up again there will be some definite distinctions between a roo£ sign and a wall sign• MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to approve the variance £or the sign on the front of McDOnald's building, providing the arches are removed, and instruct the Staff to strengthen that part of the Sign Ordinance dealing with roof signs and wall signs, and clearly distinguish between the two.
