they are larger in eyuare footage $nd ar¢ $g0 to $g0 a month more �n rent than
the other building, He ad�ed the apa=tments are more luxurioua throughout, whether
they are afficiency apartmeata or not,
Mayor Liebl etated that caxe should be taken in restricting the apartmente to a

Ghere are not Coa many studio apartmen[s in the complax. This building completes

The City Attarney said Khere ,are thxee other citiea in Anoka Counky under the

would give the City more flexibility 1n handling drug, barbiCuates and glue
offenees. The uae of Chese subetancea are prohibited under the State 3tatutes,
but 1f this le approved by the City, 1t would sllow the Ciey to handle some

' Council check wlth Coon Rapide to determine some of the advanta�ea. He added
that within a year Che program was self eustaining 1n that area. Mr, Harrts
saggeeted the uee of funde saiaed by tho golf course be us�d ta develop other
' park areas in Che City. �. Harris eaid this is the only area within the City
large enough for a golf couree and ia hia opinion there are many other areas
more auitable fcr a nature cente�.
PAGB 2,3
The Chamber ie planning to prepqre a detailed report on the coat of a golf
oourae in this area he said. He expresaed concern at whether the Council would
take action oa Che matter before the Chamber has completed their atudy. Mr. Harris
said there are maay questiona to be anawered, and the interest of the ciGizena of
Fridley should be deteratiqed. Ha aeked the Council for eome asaurance that they
would not make a decision before a certaln date. He added there has, and will be,
a great,deal of time aad money put into this atudy by the Chamber and they would
like. the City Caunc3l to refra�n from any action until their report is completed.
Mayor L1eb1 atattd ha Would aot like to take any action until the atudy 1s analysed.
He added he would like to eee a feaeibility atudy on how much a golf courae would
oost and what it would do for Fridley. He added, in his opinion, a golf course is
a metropolitan psogram. He eaid he would also like to see a complete study an
the feasibility of a Nature Center.
Mr. Harris again asked the Council for time to prepare the report. He said Che
Chamber mµat collect data and ¢acta to do thia and they need a coneiderable
amount of time and a daedline.
Mayor Lieb1 said the Councll must not only conaidex the Chamber, but also the
' people of Fridley, including thoAe eupporting a nature center. He Htated h1s
main concern would be the financing. He atated hia concern in holding a special
election to determine the intereat of the people. In a apecial election, only
� thoae oppoaing the program would come out to vote. Ia a general eiection a
greater percentage af the people would be iavolved in the deciaion, He atressed
the need for a study from both aides of the queation, He said he would be willing
to wait for the ldese from both sidea backed up by reporta and a meana of
' fiaancing both programe. • .
�
Councilman Breider etated Mr, Hazria is �pesking�for the Chamber who is apending
, a great deal of money, how could thelr report be unbiased, he questioned. He
suggested the City hire a flrm af conaul[anta to study both sides and prepare an
unbiased reporC on the advantages and disadvanta es of both suggested uaes.
� Mr. Harria atated he was not pseaent to ask the Council to fund the study. He
eai3 the busineae community does aot want additional taxation for a use of
North Park that is not aelE euataining. He stresaed the Chamber'a lnitial figures
� ahowad a golf coursa would be self suatalning. Councilman greider aseured him this
would be a pare of any conpultanCa considexation,

Meyar Liebl recalled the oPfer made by Medtronics to pay $8,000 for a atudy with
the proviaion fihat the City abide by their reco�rmendaClon, He questionad whether
or not thie atudy qould haye beest unbiased. Ha atressed the Council"s obligation
to grovide an unbiaeed atudy.

the diamonda are uaed only eix monthe out of a year and by a very few of the
Fridley residenta. Mr. �azris continued eaying he was not against a nature
center, buC he conaldared �t a�natter of psiorities. There are other areas
available for a nature canCar and aot othex deeirable areas for a golf caurae.
He stresead the importanem of the golf course being self sustai.ning and profit
making, although the plana da aot oall for a major league course where th� U.S.
Open could be played. Ho aaid �f the nature center were in a different location,
it may not be major league either, but iG would be poseible to have both.
Counailman Starwalt asked i£ 90 to L00 days would be an adequate amount of time
to etudy the utilization, Mr, Harris asked what the Chember was to do if they
go ahead and apend the money on the study and the Council decidea on February
ea a deadline;:aad Che_Chamber.is_aot ready at �b�t'.�ime.'.Councilman Starwalt
stated he was not likely to make up hia miad in 90 days. Mayor Liebl atated,
in hia opinion, Mr, Harria was preeeating a aimple request for setting a date
whlch would ena6le them time For a etudy and, if the Chamber wants to spend
money on a atudy duxing thie kime, that would be their prerogative. Councilman
Mitielstadt suggeated the Council agree not to deliberate beyond June 1, 1973.
Councilman Breider said tho Council hae the right to deliberate at anytime.
He aeked hrnv iC would be pqesible to set a date for June 1; 1973, all they had
talked about were Che Chamber's plana. He said the Council ahould also talk
to the other aide, or pexheps allocate Punda for the skudy of a nature aenter or
the atudy would not be adequate.
Barbara Hughes, 548 Rice Creek Terrace, League of Women Votere, said the League
of Women Voters would nevox do a�feasibility atudy on a nature cenCer. She added,
the figures they have are broadly gauged, national figurea provided by a land-
acape architect. Mre. 'Hughes explained that League had aubmitted the flgures
ia good faith, but they are aot based on soil teata, just one man's experience
in developing nature centers. She added, the League will urge the City Co atudy
tha matter.
-Mayor Liebl aeked if the flrst oi June would allow enough time for a atudy.
Mre. Hughee atresaed the fact Chat the League will continue to urge the City to
do a atudy on North Park, addiag� the information the League can provide ie not
the kind of repost the Council neade to �ake a decision and take action.
Mr, Harsie said he was noC there to say if it would be a good effort by the City
' to atudy the utilization aa a nature center. �ie said if the Chamber doea the atudy
for a golf COtllBE and th� City eonducta a atudy for a nature center, it wi11 look
like the City favora the natura center ut111zation.
'
�
'
,
'
Couacilman graider euggeated the atudy be made by a consultant who hae done both
golf courses and nature centere, adding this would be a good indication of the
aueeear or failure of the propoeed plaae. Mr. Harris voiced concern over this
plan 1f it were to be done by a 1oea1 firm, atating this may involve planning a
project with the intention oP making a profit by doing the work.
Mr. Harria eaLd the Chamber was willing to do a detailed atudy on parking and
a clab houee, presenting ooata o£ the plan. He iadicated a need for guidelines

him luck in the naxt yeax. However, the comments T make are concerning
' two Gouncilmen, Councilman Utter and Councilman Breidar, who I have
thanked privately fox their support on many issuas that I have confronted
them.
After, I think, a very shaky start at the beginning o£ the year, and
after this Council was reduced to a four member Council I falt that
this Council had a distinct advantage over past Councils in that it
was a real team e£fart. I felt that this Council had a sense of responsibility
as a team to its people. It is a matter of public record that 98% of the
issues that faced this Council were unanimously adopted hy this team and
I want to publicly thank both of these Councilmen, they have been a rsal
help to me. No one Council member can do the job without the support
of his pears on the Council. It want to thank the City Manager, Mr. Jarry
Davis, who is one of the outstanding Managers 1n the State of Minnesota.
He and his staff certainly mada the transition between the Council resolutions
and thosa procedures implementod by the City Adninistration one of easo.
And our City Attorney, Virgil Herrick, who has guided this Council in its
counseling on many of our major issues. Also, briefly, I want to thank
the volunt�ar members of the Planning Commission and all of its subcommittees,
all of the other aammissions and committees that report to the Council. I
know what it is like in this involvement as a volunteer. I spent the last
seven years on vaxious committeas and commissions. These people giva up
their time and privata lives to halp this Council and help theiz City, and
I thank tham for their unselfish involvement.
I think the City is blessad with an outstanding leader in the Mayor,
Frank Liebl, who has shown a great deal of integrity and given this Council
a great deal of integrity during the past year and he has established
himeelf as one of the best Mayors in the State of Minnesota.
� Looking on the bright side at some of the achievements for the yaar, I
think, was one of the outstanding years in terms if Council achievement,
the Council becama extremely sensitive to communicate with its paople and
it orderad quarterly reports which I think were great documents, and also
' the Community Calendar which most of us raceived during the Christmas
holidays, and I undarstand will be totally received within the next week
or two. Aftar a long pariod of time and affort in 1972, tha City was
' blessed with a 53.7� tax base for business and industry. Quite an
achievamant. It also recaivad an A rating for municipal bonds. With
a concarted effort to attack the problems of tha sanitary storm and red
' watar problems, whiCh is an ongoing problem, which I think will be success-
fully concluded, It wss a succassful closure of a serious administrative
problem within the Police Aapartment. It was a successful conslusion to the
' Cable Tolevision controversy. And other major changes occurred; we
establishad the Islands o£ Peaco project, the undorpass and so forth. It
was quite a year, Quita a year p€ achiavemant, and I am proud to have
sarved an this Council.
'
,
�
On the dark side, this was one of tha first major ef£orts by outside
powex groups, outsi$e �.ntezaat groups, a few dissident elements within the
City, to controi'the City, a rapresentative govarnment to control it by
reierendum, took away the constitukional xight of the people to have a
rapreeentative govornment and I think that xhis is the first of its kind.
I noticed tha State Legzsiature the uast faw years: tha vast majority

of the incumbant und the nawly elected Council. He thanked the membars
of the 1972 Counc�,l for the help they had given him as chairman, making
his job an easiar one. He said he thought the two new members of tha
Council would find it a challenga to work with the Council for the
benefit of the citizens of Fri3ley.
Mayor iiabl said ha found it regrettable that the news media tried to sow
tha seed of dissent betweon himself and one of tha newly electad Councilman.
He added, the Council is not a forum for feuds, but there to serve the
paople of Fridley for the bost interest of the total community. He stated,
if aome people thalnk they can ignora this, they will find themselves
sadly mistaken in the long run. ye said the Council already has a difficult
task to solva the local problems as thay arise and also to plan and
continue to build a community with pride.
He said he was looking forward to this new Council giving its bast
in'talent and sound judgamant to provide good end frugal governmant for
the people of Fridlay. Thore will be times of disagreement, he added, among
intelligent and good meaning people, but ha encouraged the other members to
work together and find a way to come to reasonable compromiSes when tho
well-being of the community is involved. He said he would listen very
attentivaly to avery mamber of the Council and cooperate positively. He
addressed the Council and said since their decisions affect the lives and
pockat books of ali tha citizans of Fridley, he asked them earnestly to
constructively work for a better and more prosperous Fxidley. He thanked

', REGULATC COUNCIL MEET1aG, JANUARY 8, 1973
PAG£ 11
Council is the property south of the statlon; Union Oil is requesting
approval to sall this land with tha intendad use being the construction
of a superette. He added, this pxoperty 1s properly zoned for this
type of building at present and they can build this at any time. The
basic requast is for rezoning the property t1�e gas stat�on is located on
now.
Mayor Liebl askad i£ thay could grant or dany either of the requests
at tha presant time or would it require two Public Hearings. The City
Engineer said i£ the plan for the superette meets all the xequirements
of tha code a permi,t would be issued. The raquest is to rezone the
property where the gas station is,in order ta a11ow Union Oil to
plan a modern gas station.
Councilman SLa:vralt said he had been in contact with many of the
principais in tha area involved, but there wcre many he had not been
able to contact. He said it is a complex problem involving zoning,
traffic wid assessment considerations.
The City Engineer recommended a Public Hearing be set in March,
allowing tirae to discuss the problem with Ward Councilman Starwalt,
and arriva at a solution to the serious traffic problem ahead of time.
He said thera axa going to bo 2,000 to 3,000 people in the new Innsbruck
Noeth area and this problem should be resolved before it gets tao
sarlous, He added they had bean working with the Highway Department
and also Anoka County, and tha plans hava bean approved on a concept
basis. He said ha bolieved March was the best time for a Public
Hearing, as this would allow the Councilman of the Ward more time to
becoma aware o£ the situation. He suggested March 12, 1973, as the
data for th� Pu611c Hearing.
Councllman Noa asked why the Planning Commission had recomnended denial
of this rezoning; did they have a better plan in mind?
The City Enginear said eha members of tha Planning Commission did
not fully undaxstand what was being proposed. He pointed out the
various accesses to tha area on the overhead projector, stating there
aro over 3,000 paople. involved 1a �tite traffic problem. He said thay
had beon working vrith tha gas station for about two years trying to
xesolve the various pxoblams, a�d they had not done a good job in
informing the membars of the Planning Commission on what was plannad.
He added, not all the people are going to agroa with the plan, but
a Public Heariag on March 12, 1973, would a11ow all the people concerned
to air the whale pmblem.
Councllman Nae again, askad if there was a better plan. The City
&nginoer sai.d a possible access was tho use of Polk Straet and this
cons.idared whon devalopmont is approvad. Councilman Uttar said he
had resd the m3nuLes o£ the Commission and the Commission had recommended
deniAl of tha spaciai usa pexmit. Tha City 8ngineer said 1t had been
raco�andod, but the Pinal aation must come £rom the Council for
appxoval or danial. He said the Council must grant a Public Hearing,
aftar that thay can eithez approve or deny the plan.
Mr. Hubbard, Resl Bstate A$ent for the Union Oil Company, said the
Comgany had been in business £or ii£teen years at that location and
without any a�tion qn t11e pa�t oP the Company, the zoning requirement
had beon changad and tj►� station is now non-con�oxming.. He added,

To the Council
City of Fridley
Anoka County, Minnesota
City Hall
6431 University Avenue Northeast
Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Gentlemen:
This letter is forwarded in connection with our re—
quest for approval of a registered land survey in respect to
our nroperties on Locke Lakee We believe this letter will
help the Council and any otners as may have an interest thereiri
to better understand some oi the legal aspects of the present
situation, and as well our own individual �houghts and purposes
in the ma*ter.
ir.�
From private legal counsel, we are aclvised that Lots
1 and 2, Block 1, Edcewater Gardens (which we ?reviously acquired
several years back for purposes of our home}and Lot 3, Ftevised
Auditor's Subdivision No. 23 (an abuttino Nart of which we have
recently acquired) are real estate property, the title to wi:i�h
is recistered in Anoka County under the Torrens Law uf the State
o£ Minnesota. 'v1e are also given to un�erstand that Locke Laixe
is itself not a natural laice, but a"man—,iade"lake, an�l of
cor.ioaratively recent oricin; and place� u�on land, the title t^,
which is registered. By reason o� such �acts, nerna�_�s so,ae
rec,ulatior.s xelative to water �ollution and reyulations or ti?e
state tnrough the Division or Public i�ater, as �vell as tne
ezistence o� some oenerally stated o1d cuater ease:nents in zav�r
of the City ot Saint Paul, and the Boar:l oE TVater Co<nraissione�s
of Saint naul as aifect Rice Creek and the water thcr<in, a::d
the general nature o� the sitcation �s a whole, the �ichts anu
oblicati�ns(public and private), of the abutting property
owners and any �thers nay not be entirely clear, and certainl-�
they are not 5tiscePtible o£ easy and simr,le state:nent. Thus, one
is reeuired to act uoon the iacts as found and only as they are.
T_t may be that neither �ublie nor private law wili help c�rrect
the situation that we �ind where Locke Lal:e is concernecl.
Havinn lived on Loc',ce Lalce for a numaer oi years, ai;u
having raised most of our far..i1_y here nest to the lab=s, we r_eadil�.�
a�preciate the calue, bcth public an� �riv�te, o� ;ceeping t<::e

use of the people of Fridley, as well as to those who inmediately
abut the sarne, For ourselves, we have always encourac,ed the
recreational use of ti-ne lake nat only to' our iamily and children
but to others as well. In this resnect, ��e a-re vicrorous in our
£eelings of support towards i:�rovement of the lake as are made,
an3 we believe our actions, of personal worY,, and expense, and
public solicitations attest the same. Acain, as we previously
already have announced, we �eel that simoly improving the dam
at the outlet of the laY,e without further specific and additio.ial
efforts toward cleani.na out the lake itself to preserve its con-
tinued life and use neets only part of the oroblem--a problem
thus developed over a period o� tirae, w:zich we believe lirely will
get worse i� no corrective steps are taken, botn nublic and private.
Our present orobleai an?ears to be one of the results,
Following the original acquisition oi our oressnt ho:-.�e-
site particularly during the last few yea-rs, we have f_ound that a
great quanity o-= soil, dirt, and debris has been carrieci by Bice
Creek into Loc;;e Lake; so much so tnat not only is tne �ri,iral
betto*� of the laY,e covered and adversely aifected, bnt as well
in our own case our own original shore line an� boundaries nave
somewhat become segarated from the water of the la;ce, since soil
in the lake was cast u� upon the shore, and the wate-r in the lake
was caused to secede.
In timE, su_�icient sccn chanc,e unon our properties i�ave
' occurrea so as to ra�se witii�n the mind of our 1e�,ai counsel a
serious question as to our own �roperty ownership aad boundaries
o£ the same under the Torrens Law.
'

Investiaation by our attorney of the title to our own
original lands, anfi tnat of wh�� 7iqht be considered oart of the
original bed of the lake has snown that tl�e propert,� we oricirall��
bought as Lots 1 and 2, Bloci: 1, Edgewater Gar�ens was originally
part of and abutted upan property now described as (pa_t of) Lot
3, Revised Auditor's Subdivision No, 23. The title to such oart
of Lot 3, Reviseci Auditor's SuL�ivisian No. 23 of record was
registered an3 assessed for ta�:es in the na::�e o= Otto Ostman
and his wife Eciith J, O�t�an. In our own interests and to assur.c
the continued abntment o` our proaerty upon the water of Lo�;ce
Lal:e, we proceedF.] to accuire �,� aurchase and recently oitaiacd
from the Ostmans by quit clai;n �eed title to tP2at ?a:� o� L;t
3, Revised Au:itor's Sub:;ivisior: P7�, 23 as lies ;:,�etween tne
extensions of the original east and west li7�s o� :>ur nrooert�;
as the same extended to.aard the center of tre la;ce; Thus, i�
might be said that should further soil be cast upon +,.he shores

of the lake in front of our properties, or should the water
of the lake further recede, title to such exposed lands is
in ourselves, and not in the Ostmans, or�someone else (this,
we understand, is the usual situation relative to properties
abutting upon a lake.) Thus, we will have continued abutment
on the lake at: all tirnes.
Should we be fortunate, and fin8 in the future that
the present level of the lake acain is raised, or that the soil,
dirt, and debris therein is in sone way removed so as to re-
establish the original bottom and shore of the lake, we woulci
nevertheless continue to abut upon the lake, and be ;-.hankful
not only for ou,:selves but also our neighbors and ou= friends
as well. Thus, for ourselves, we wi11 alcaays act tocvard the
preservation of the lake, and invite others to do likewise as
a matter of common and public interest.
Any actions we have taken earZier,n�w,or at any time,
both public an� private, have always been based upon what we
believe is sound advice of counsel, and what we believe is
toward not only our own per.sonal interests Dut as cvell that o£
our neighbors and the public in aeneral. We aslc, tne-Y�fore,
that you view our present actio : as an ef�ert t�caarn the sar,ie.
Yours truly,

ll�. Maxy 8chroiner, 6851 Oakley Streat, asked whst the timetable
Mould be after the Yublic Hearinga were w�r and thie plan weat eo Council.
Whea would the zoainp chaagea be made. 14r. Fitzpatrick said this pian
pouldn't ahaage any zoaing. All thie is, is a proposal, ehat has been
prepasnd by the City Staff, modified by the Planning Conaisaion and we are
no�ir aC tha point whete we want iaput from the citizena, Mr, Boardman said
this plan has to go ko tha Metropolitan Couacll and it ia withia their
sights to hold the plaa for aixty days, before it can go to our City Council
!or eppsoval. Ms. Sehreiner asked if tfiere were zoning mapa available.
lir. Glark said wa have the large wall zoning mapa dated Jaauary 1972 and
a smslles oae dated January 1969 that ase avallable at City Hall. Mr.
Qureshi said updated zoning mapa will be available in about a moath.
lSr. Wheeler SmiCh said the Planniag Conmisaioa haa indicated that
this plaa wauld be updated and ehanged froa time to time. What would
happea i£ aomeoae csme in with a requeat that was diffareat from the
yroposed p1aR buC the Planning Co�isaion thought it had merit, Mr.
Biizpatrick aald eseh request would ba handled on its own merlt but if
it waa in line with tha propoaed plaa he vould think the Plaaning Co�is-
tioa wauld look fatvorably upon it. The Co�ission would not be bound com-
plately by the 4ompre�hensive plaa, but probably more bound than they were
before. ,
l�tr. 8311 Nea, 219 Logaa Paskway, eaid there was no foundation for any
� of this epeculatian iR the atudy areas, He woadered 1f any of it was feasible.
He aeked if there waq aay documentatioa on whether it was viable or not. Mra
8ltzpatrlck eaid the�e was basia for the proposed aomprehensive plan. Mr.
Soardmsn eaid the atudy azeas wera �ust an addeadum to the plaa, and i.f
aeceaaary they could be updated or changed,
lSre, 8arbara Hughea asked What was the baais for the atatemenC thaC
8r�dley._!a a maturlag caom�uaity. Mr. Boardman said the present trend is
that peaple with families are atoving #ur[het away from the cota city. The
achool sgB eRx'ollmaaC has reached ita p�ak and will be on the decline. We
ssa at the poia! ahe;e people from ouCSide the ares are Coming into Frldley

ans�tered that begianing the firat of thfe year we went on a SAC basis. Any
new aottatruction will pay Co conaect to the ayetem and any existing con- -
atrucioa w111 have no added eharge, He said that for instance in Area No. 1,
thie was planned £ox aq industrial park and the City has taken 120 acres
for park arca, so the utilities in this area are more than adequate. Mr.
Harris asked what would happen ia aew development areas from the atorm
sewer etandpoint. Mr, Qureahi said the whole planning concept is based on
conservation. The goa],e ara safety for our City, a balance in housing so
all typea ot housing a;e available, diversity, so there is some industry,
eome ahopping area� and recreational areas. The other goal is environment.
Aa example of thia is in the Innsbruck North area, where the ponding areas
and the natural beauty of the area is being preaerved. There is a lot of
open area in a towahouse development. Industrial areas demand more ground
cover. Th1a is why apartments should be cloaer to an industrial area, where
storm sewera are most necessary. In Study Area 1, the drainage could be
used to preeerve part of the Creek's beauty, iihen we can develop an area
and make yse of what's natural, for housing, parks, shopping areas, etc.,
�ae can have more of a total coamunity.
Hr. Harria said development in neighboring communities is something
ve have no contro2 over, auch as the Northtown Shopping Center. This
development will dictaCe what goes into Fridley. Mr. Boardman said we do
zealize that Northtowu will have an impact similar [o shopping centers
such as Brookdale and Southdale. The City Council has sent me to p>rtici-
pata ia the Northtown Task Force Council set up by the Metropolitan Council.
Thia 1a a atudy group made up of Fridley, Blaine, Coon Rapida and Spring Lake
Park. We xealize there will be c�tanges in the area and we would like to
see an office complex in the araa along with the park land and industrial
ar@a. Mr, Harzis atated that if Fridley doesn't devzlop the area, same
other suburb surrounding Narthtown would. Mr. Boardman said Blaine is
developing an office complex and high rise mixture. If the City Council
gces a�ong with the study on this area, then all this area will be studied
for traEfic patterae aqd traffic generated and land use.
Mra. Hughea said Fridley was compared with 13 other first ring suburbs
in the comprehenaive plan. Why was this uaed as a basis of comparison, Mr.
Boaidman said as Fridley is a first ring suburb we wanted to compare it to
suburba having the same characteristics as us. For instance, we have
pxoblems thaG $laine doesn't have because we're almost completely develeped
and Blaine has abqut 60% of its land undeveloped. The Metropolitan area
includes aeyen tounties, some highly developed and some of it still farc:
land, so you couldn't compare all the cities to Fridley: Mrs. Hughes said
Fridley was low in the rankings in housing and development. hfr. Boardnan
answered that Chesa atatements are based on the rankings and Lookin� at the
trenda to eee how our community ia developing in comparison to suburbs of
almilar rankings, MrS. Hughes asked 1f we would have the same chara�teristi:s
as the communitie� we are being compared with if we didn't do anythino. Mr.
Boatdman sa:ld khat basipally we have to set up some type of goal, a place
where we want Co go� otj�erwise we wpuld have piece-meal deveiopu�ent. By
eetting up goals and objectives according to rankings and trends we can see
hOw we fit in witi� ot�ef coamwaiCies. The Teason for this Public Hearir,g
is to find out if titese are the thinga we want to strive for, and !o de-
tet�mine what ia hapPeRing in our cocmtunity and if it is desirable.

Mt. Hasris aaked if there had been any consideration of a specific use
nithin a general use. By thie ha meanC ii lt was possible to have inter-
mlxing of hqusing. A�cording to the requirementa for a single family home

ra+ld traat to bu11d a small house on 5,000 aquare feet and someone else
might want 20,000 squase feeC for a home. With the same requirement for
all housing,, ia aome areas a�l the homes look the same except for the paint.
Ms. Clask aaid there Was a housing guide from the Metropolitan Council
that suggeats that houaing ahould be intermixed. The Plaming Commission
and City 9taff has aot said if this is good or bad. Mr, Fitzpatrick said
lhara is preeaura for the community to provida low coet housing.
l�r. Clark said the alide preaentetion ia available to any group that
, might waat iC during Cha moath between Publie Hearings. Mr. Qureahi said

' lls. Qureahi eaid in answer to Mr. Harsis's queetion on the North Park
area� ve heve joined the Korthtown shopping area Task Force, which includes
8sidley, Spring Lake Park, Blaia and Coon Rapids, There is aleo a North-
' Covn Corridor etudy which involves 15 governmental uaits in three counties
where a bridge will go 1n eomewl�era between the Moka brldge and I. tP694.
Th1s irill +s£fect the Craffic through our community. This can be an asset
' aad also an aggravatlan as we aze a traffic funael to the core citias.
Acoordiag Co tha corridor study, if the addltional brldge is built on the
Misaisaipp.i River the tra�fic w111 diminiah on East River Road by 1985.
We r+ill have to update and adjust the e�psehensive pl,an, according to the
' Changing development and characteristica. Without the shopping center, we
watld aever ba psopoei.ng xhat we are propoaing now.
' Ms. 8ern Newman, 375 Rice Creek Terrace� said there were many statements
made on what the commuaitp wanted and how do you know what we wanti Mr.
Fitzpatrick said Chis io only a propoaed plan and we want citizen laput.
' Ms. liewmaa answered that we can't give much imput whea most of us here
have never seen the complete plan uatil tonight. Mr. Darrel Clark said
the aomplete propoaed plan was aent to eeveral organizations, and we had
hoped thBC theae oxgani�atioas would heve people here to give lnput.

Mr. Boacdmaa atated that whether flood plain zoaing goes into effect
in Fsldley or not, the P,H,A, will not give mortgage loans on anything
aoted aa flood piaia by the Army Corps, of Eagineers Study.
Mr. Fltzpatz�ek �$id ano[her point that perhape should ba checked more

Chairmaa Erickaon aaked Mr. Qureshi 1f the City would normally record

eommunities were critieized for not having f1ooS insurance. We went through
the motlotts of lettlag the people know what was available and the response

Mr. 9ehmedeke said the problem aeema to be that the C�misslon feels
eomn property auch as Riverview Heights should be in the flood plain, and
the property aloag Rice Creek should be flood fringe. Mr, Schmedeke thought
it was the City'a duty to tell people their property ia in a flood plain.
Mr. Ciark said we do teZl people when they inquire about property in that
alea� but many people don't inquire, Mr. Boardman said Chat HUD and the
State legislation include both the Riverview Heights area and Rice Creek
area according to the Army Corps, Engineer�s Study.
Chaixman Erlekson said inquiriea should be make to see if it were
poaeible ko nok designate all areas in this Study as flood plain.

Park Addition,.and Lot 12 and 13, Block 2, City View Addition, Per
Code 45.101, 3 B, D, and G.
Mr. Frank Gabrelcik was present.
Chairman Erickson asked Mr. Gabrelcik if Mr. Kohlan would be present
tonight. Mr. Gabrelcik said he hadn't heard Erom him and didn't knov: if
he would come or not. Mr. Erickson asked if it was-agreeable with tFe
p�titioner to wait and see if he came. Mr. Gabrelcik agreed. Chaircian
Erickson said the other items on the agenda shouldn't ta:ce long so they
would go on to the next item.
, 2. REQUEST FOR A LOT SPLIT: L.S. �73-01, ROBERT SCHROER:
Lot 3, Block 2, East Ranch Estates 2nd additicn.
Mr. Robert Schroer vas present
Mr. Schmedeke said this item was on the agenda of the P1ats and
Subdivisions - Streets and L'tilities Subcommittee agenda tonight. What it
amounts to is to split off the South 204 feet of the East 200 feet of
Lot 3, glock 2, East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition, to construct a structure.
Mr. Darrel Clark said this property is just North of Capp Homes, a
�
'

'

,
Plaaning Commission Meeting - Januarv 24 1973
lot split that was approved just a few months ago. This lot is more �..__
adequate for the eo�ercial requixements. The resulting North lot would
be a little smaller but meets the requirement xhat the lot either be 160
feet wide or the entire lot be 20,000 square feet. The Plats & Subs Sub-
co�ittee recommended approval contingent upon an additional 17 feet being
added to the existing 20 feet sever easement to make a 37 foot easement
so the lot to the rear of the property has access to the sanitary sewer
[hat runs through this parcel.
Chairman Ericksoa asked if this was an approved plat. Mr. Clark said
the plat the Commissioa had in their ageada was the approved plat. The
plat he was showing them was a proposed replat that hadn't been acted upon.
There is a proposed road that will run entirely West of this parcel. Mr.
Schroer said after they had platted and recorded this plat, Suburban Engr-
neering had recommended the road.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked if the original easement was where they had
Iexpected the lot line to be, Mr, Clark said the easement was put in for
commercial requirements, so it would either be to the rear or in front of
commercial development to eliminate the long run out to the service drive.
, This part of the lot would either be a parking lot or boulevard so it
doesn't interfere with the development of the lot.

Mr. Clark said the pla[ he was showing the Commission would either
be East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition, Revised, or East Ranch Estates 3rd
Addition.
Mr. Schroer said the reason for this lot split being larger than the
last one was because the developer of this lot wanted to have more parking.
Mr. Schmedeke said this split off did leave the North lot quite narrow bu[
if Mr. Schroer had no objections, it wasn't the concern of the Plannir.�
Commission.
Mr. Schroer said they had been at the Council meeting of January 22
with this request. The developer has mortgage commitments that have to
be closed by February lst. The Council approved the request subject to
the Planning Commission's decision.

•
MOTION by Schmedeke, Seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Commission
reco�end approval to sg2it off the South 204 feet of the East 200 feet oi
Lot 3, B1ock 2, East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition, subject to an additional 17
feet being added to the original 20 foot easement to give the lot to the
rear of the property access to the sewer. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
the motion carried unani.mously.
Mr. Darrel Clark said the only ob}ection the property owner might have
to this additional easement would be in meeting the sign ordinance require-
ments. Chairman Ericksaa and Mr. Fitzpatrick said they didn't thin:c the
petitioner would have any problem getting a variance for a sign.

woa't want the vacation if the rezoning isn'f approved.
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission
continue the vacation request, SAV �73-01, Bryant-Franklin Corporation, to
vacate drainage and utility easement on the Southerly 5 feet of Lots 13
through 16, Block 3, Rice Creek Terrace Plat 2, until February 7, 1973. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
4. REQUEST FOR
COMPANY; Block 10, Hamilton's
Mr. Darrel Clark said the City Clerk does not have to split assessments
until a lot split has been approved. This is the property of Paul Burkholder,
and this request will officially approve the development of land between the
petitioner and the cemetary,
Mr. Fitzpatrick said the alley vacation was approved but not the street
vacation.
The Planning Commission was confused on the description of the lot
1 spiit because no lots were mentioned, Mr. Clark said there has been some
problem with the survey but Mr. Burkholder bought 234 feet of this block
no matter how it is described.

by State Land and Development Company, to split off the North 234 feet of
Block 10, Hamilton's Addition. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Erickson asked Mr. Gabrelcik if Mr. Kohlan was coming. Mr. Gabrelcik
' answered that he hadn't spoken to Mr, Kohlan since the last meeting. Chaircan
Erickson said they would continue the Public Aearing on Mr. Gabrelcik's request
for a Special Use Permit at this time,

Mr. Erickson said the last time you were in, Mr. Gabrelcik, we asked
for a sketch of the proposed use of your lay-out. Do you have it? *ir.
Gabrelcik said he hadn't drawn any sketch, Mr. Erickson said ae also asked
for proo: of ownership on the lots you are using or wish to use so we would
lmow what part of your property is covered by the grandfather clause, Mr.
Gabrelcik said he brought some tax statements, would they do. Chairman Ericksa
said he didu't know if they would or not, but the Commission would Loo:c at
them.
Chairman Erickson asked Mr. Gabrelcik why he hadn'[ brought a sketch oY

his property. Mr. Gabrelcik said ehe City was making up a sketch. Mr.
Clark said they have made a sketch but they didn't think Mr. Gabrelcik
vould like it.'
Chairman Erickson examined the tax statements. The tax statement
for Lot 6 and the S� of 7 is in the name of Carl Sorenson, Frank Gabrelcik
getting the tax statement; the N'� of Lot 7 and all of Lot 8, is in the name
of Raymond Meggit, Mr. Gabrelcik getting the tax statement; Lots 9 and 10
are in the name of Carl Sorenson, Contract Purchaser, Harry Johnson, Mr.
Gabrelcik getting tax stat�ent; Lot I6, Block 21, is the State of Minnesota, Mr
Gabrelcik getting tax statement; Lots 12 and 13, Block 2, City View Addition,
in the name of Carl Sorenson, Mr. Gabrelcik again getting the tax statement.
Chairman Erickson said tbat according to the County, you don't have title
to very much. Mr. Gabrelcik said be just hadn't got over to the County to
register the deeds,
, Chairman Erickson said there were two things the Planning Commission
specifically asked for; one, evidence of purchase of the property, and this
to me is not evidence. You may very well have title to this property, but
we are interested in when you got ownership of the property you have purchased.
' We also asked for an outline on how you plan to use this property, which you
have not furnished. Mr. Gabrelcik said he was only asking to use Lots 12 and
13, in addition to what he vas using before.

Mr. Erickson asked if Mr. Kohlan was still Mr. Gabrelcik's attorney.
Mr. Gabrelcik said he guessed so. He said he didn't know who appointed Mr.
Kohlan or anything. Mr. Erickson asked then why was he here before re�resent-
ing you. Mr. Gabrelcik said he didn't hire him to represent him, he thought
someone had appointed him.
Mr. Gabrelcik said he paid a lot of money for the property he has and
Pays a lot of taxes on this property and now the City says he can't use it.
Chairman Erickson addressed Mr, Gabrelcik and said you are here asking
the Planning Coumiission to give you permission to expand your used car 1ot
to two lots North of 58th Avenue and to one lot South of 57Z Avenue, that
you haven't been using before, as I understand it. Is this right or wrong?
Mr. Gabrelcik said he has been using these lots for years but i11�ga11y, ;
guess, I'm asking to use Lots 12 and 3:3 because they aren't covered 'oy the
grandfather clause.
Mr. Schmedeke said he hadn`t intended to get involved in this buE he
said he had copies of minute� of ineetings by the City that go back several
years. Over ten years ago the property East and West of University Avenue
in this area was described as an eyesore. In tne minutes of April 12, 1971,
the City Engineer stated that the last time Frank's Car Lot had been in
for a license, he had taken pictures showing cars parked on City streets
and junk on the lot. Later the cars had been removed from the treet, Ns.
Schmedeke said that as Chairman of the Plats and Subdivisions - Streets aiid
Utilities Subcommittee, he thought it would be proper to ask for a survey of
this property, There are same lots in City View that have peculiar boundaries.
The Planning Cocm�ission should be more infozmed before we act on somethi:ir� or
this nature. Mr. Schmedeke didn't think Block 21 should be included in the
Special Use Permit as far as the street or alley is concerned, tmtil the

traffic pattern was firm in this area, He continued that Mr. Gabrelcik -
needs some sod around his building, sad around the sidewalk area, some
planting of evergreens, some existing rrees removed, and the junk and lumber
cleaned up as it'is very unsightly. He said Mr. Gabrelcik should decide
what type of business he wants on the lot. He has four businesses now;
used cars, body repair, truck repaiz and a cab business. If we get a
�survey of this property, Z think ve will need some planting to protect
the neighbors to the South. These are things we require of everyone else,
and we should treat everyone alike.
Chairman Ericksoa said to Mr. 6abrelcik that you say you're not actually
, asking for anything. Mr, Gabrelcfk answered that he wants to use Lots 12 and
13. Mr. Erickson said then you are asking for something, expansion of your
used car lot. Then we understand each other.

Chairman Erickson told Mr. Gabrelcik if you want us to vote intelligently
on this request, we shouid get samething from you, Otherwise you`re going
to have to ask us to vote on the information that we have now and I can't
see that that's going to do you any good.
Mr. Darrel l:lark said he thought we should verify what his present
license covers, it doesn't cover Lot 6 or the N'� of Lot 7, The license
request is for the NZ of Lot 7, and all of Lots 8, 9 and 10. When this
license went to Council, they reqnested Mr. Gabrelcik to get a Special
Use Permit for what was covered by his existing license plus whatever else
he was using, which includes Lot b, the N'� of Lot 7, Lot 16, and Lots 12
and 13.
Chairman Erickson stated that Mr. Gabrelcik said he has been using Lot
6 and the NZ of Lot 7 all this time and I believe that is right. Mr. Clark
asked why this wasn't included in the license request. Mr. Gabrelcik said
his wife made out the license request and he didn't know cahy she didn't
include these lots,
Chairman Erickson asked Mr. Gabrelcik what he wanted to do. Mr. Gabrelcik
said he wants the right to use Lots 12 and 13. Mr. Erickson said if the
rest of the Cammission feels the vap I do, we're not able to make a decision
on this, except adversely, unless you can show us something that we'd lilce
to see, and that is how you intend to use the property and coatracts cn when
you bought the property, and I'm not sure that's going to give you what you
want,
Mr. Schmedeke said it would be hard to come to any decision unleas we
bave a survey of the lots. He understood when Mr, Kohlan was here at the
last meeting, that there was some problem with a fence line. Unless �oe
know where the property Iines are, I don't feel we can vote intelligentiy.
Mr. Schmedeke said that years ago you could come in and do as you plea;ed,
but times have changed, and we should have a plot plan of some kind. There
are rules and regulations to follow now.
Mr. Gabrelcik said wh?n he talked to Mayor Liebl and Mr. Kohlan, he
thought they caere going te take. care of this for me. Mr. Zeglen askad i=
Mr. Kohlan was representi�g ?tr, Gabrelcik. On his request for a Speci_a1 Use
Permit it has the notation, if there are any questions, ca11 Andrew f:chlan.

PlanninR Ca�ission Meeting - January 24 1973 �

In the discussion that followed, it was'determined that Mr. Kohlan made
out the request and Mr. Gabrelcik signed it. Mr. Gabrelcik said he didn't
ask Mr. Rohlan to:,prepare the request. He said when he went to Council
about his license, first it was given aud then he got a notice it had been
voided. Mayor Liebl came over with a list of things the City wanted Mr.
Gabrelcik to agree to do to improve his property, so the license could be
iasued, but Mr. Gabrelcik refused to sign the agreement. Mr. Gabrelcik
said Mayor Liebl then told 6im Mr. Kohlan would help him. He said he had
paid $50 for the license, and the Council asked him to request a Special
Use Permit. Mr. Gabrelcik said he didn't want to spend a lot of money on
the property, because if a buyer came alang he would sell it.
Mr. Erickson said to Mr. Gabrelcik, you are asking the City, and this
is the first step, to run a used car lot on certain property, some yau!ve
aever used before. We've asked you for proof of ownership, which you haven't
done. We've asked for a sketch of how you intend to use the property, because
ve're not too happy with the way you`re using it now, which you haven't done.
Do you want the Planning Co�ission to act on this now or do you want to
come back and bring us this information. We can act right now, on information
we don't have, and we will have to recoo�end denial to the Council.
Mr. Gabrelcik said he hoped to move same of the cars he has and maybe
he woa't need to use the additional lots.
, Mr. Erickson said you will have to agree that when you drive by your
lot, it doesn't Look like a used car lot. The cars have snow on them,
they're packed in there, and there is no evidence that they've been moved
, for some time. There is a lot of material on the lot that really doesn't
belong on a used car lot.
'. Mr. Gabrelcik say everyone tells hici how to make the lot look nice.
The Highway Department wants trees, Fridley wants sod; it looks like he's
supposed to maintain all four corners and where is he supposed to go with
' the cars. He doesn't have a crew to keep the snow off the cars and keep
the batteri.es charged up and move the cars like a large operator. rIr.
Gabrelcik said he would sell the property rather than make all these improve-
ments.
�
LI
,
,
,
,
'
Chairman Erickson again asked Mr. Gabrelcik if he wanted the Commission
to vote on the information they had. Mr. Gabrelcik said they should go ahead
and vote. I don't want to use those Lots (12 and 13) only when the regul.ar
lot is too full. It's too far away from the building anyway, I only want
to use it occasionaily.
Mr. Clark said he still needs a Special Use Permit for the property,
then it is no longer a legal non-confoiming use. I don't think you have
to act on the entire parcel.
Mr. Minish asked Mr. Clark if the City has a sketch of the property.
Mr. Clark said we did, an�e the sketch met some of the ccde and setback
requirements. Mr. Gahrelcik didn't say i€ fie approced or disapproved ef
the sketch.
Mr. Minish said the notice says to continue the existing use, but
�
'
,
,
'
,
8F

includes lots that people who got the notice, might not be aware that this.
constitutes an expansion of the use. '
Chairman Erickson asked Mr. Clark how the expansion lots got in the
notice when they''re not on the request. Mr. Clark answered that at the
last meeting in December, Mr. Gabrelcik asked that these lots, 12 and 13,
be included in the notice and it be republished. Mr. Fitzpatrick said the
notice is erroneous then when it doesn't mention expansion. Mr. Clark
said legally, you may have a point, but Mr. Gabrelcik says he is using
these lots now, Mr. Fitzpatrick said if he got a notice saying to continue
a use, he wouldn't assume automatically that it applied to Lots 12 and 13.
Chairman Erickson said it was questionable in his own mind that people
would recognize the legal description. They would recognize Mr. Gabrelcik's
name and the general location.
, MOTION by Minish, seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Commission
close the public hearing on the request for a Special Use Permit, SP ik72-19,
by Frank Gabrelcik, to continue the existing Use as a Used Car Lot and conduct
inside Repair Garage Shop, to be located oa Lots 6 through 10, Block 28, and
, Lot 16, Block 21, Hyde Park Addition, and Lots 12 and 13, Block 2, City View
Addition, per Code 45.101, 3 B, D and G. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
the motion carried unanimously.
'
'
Mr. Schmedeke said he would like Lot 1Z, Block 21, Hyde Park Addition,
left off the motion until the decision on the street was firm. Mr. Erickson
said that would depend upon the motion.
Mr. Clark said from the standpoint of administering the license and
' Special Use Permit, the Staff would like to have a plot plan that recomuzended
what should be followed in placement of the cars on the 1ot. It is impossiblz
to administer a used car 1ot or any business without a plot plan that both
, the owner and the City agree upon as we can't tell if there's a violation
of what's agreed upon or not.
'
,
,
'
,
'
,
Chairman Ericicson asked if there was anything that can permit Mr.
Gabrelcik to operate a used car lot without a Special Use Permit. Mr.
Schmedeke said he can use the lots covered by the grandfather clauae
indefinitely.
Mr. Minish said we vould all be inclined to consider this request more
favorably if there was an indication of a willingness to cooperate with the
City in resolving what could be charitably described as an eyesore. I suppose
we could consider a Iayout that would encompass Lots 12 and 13, if it was
coupled with an effort to restructure the whole operation, but until t:�at
point, I would be reluctant to do anything to change anything or give him
more legitimacy to his operation. I don't want to do anything that caould
in anyway put Mr, Gabrelcik out of business. Maybe holding up on the license
would be the way to get the information we asked for.

Mr. Darrel Clark said he thought that was the intent of the Council
in asking Mr, Gabrelcik to get a Speciai Use Permit on the land he wants
to use. It's two�old; one, he waats to expand on these lots that weren`t
on his license prior to this; and two, draw up a plot plan he could live
with and the Citq could allow.
Mr. Minish said we're prepared to work with him, but it doesn't appear
that he's prepared to cooperate in furnishing th2 imformation we requested.
Mr. Schmedeke said he had expressed his opinion earlier, and it hadn't
changed.
' MOTION by Minish, seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Commission
recommend to Council, that based on the lack of information by the petitioner,
that the request for a Special Use Permit, SP 4k72-19, by Frank Gabrelcik,
to continue the existing Use as a Used Car Lot and conduct inside Repair
' Garage Shop, to be located on Lots 6 through 10, Block 28, and Lot 16, Block 21,

Chairman Erickson told Mr. Gabrelcik that he would suggest strongly
that he go an see Mr. Liebl and try to get this worked out. I'm confused
and we're a11 confused. We're not too sure who's responsible for sending
you here with this type of request, I think yon'-re-confused. Mr. Gabrelcik
said they told me I need a Special Use Perwit, Mr. Erickson answered hlr.
Gabielcik by saying we didn't get the information from you that we reauested
so we couldn't vote any other way. Maybe you were misinformed. I su2�ast
you go back and talk to the people you talked to before and pursue this
matter further. This comes to Council on February Sth.
Mr. Erickson said we realize we have certain problems in improving
property that was in existe.nce before the ordinances went into effect, but
wherever we have a chance to improve these, I think we are going to do it.
The opportunity comes when someone wants to expand the area of their e�eratioa.
The last thing we want to do is put you out of business, but if you are
going to expand your business, it is our duty to bring it up to more modern
standards.

Chairman Erickson said Mr, l�gg2i is'astcing to use a portion of what?
Mr. Clark said it was the slip-off ramp;oa 60th Avenue.. The City paid
about $15,000 for that lot. .
:
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he had been at the Council meeting and after
— discussion, they decided to refex it to the Planning Coamiission to determine
the reco�ended use of this triangle. Either let Mr. Muggli request the
use of the triangle or the City should keep it and plant evergreens and
sod the area.
Mr. Schmedeke said it is in the minutes, and all over, that none of
this; the zoning or circle flow plan would go unless all of it went. We
got the co�ercial zoning and the slip-off and then it a11 stopped. Up
uatil six months ago, Mr. Muggli thought the City was going to buy his
property. He bought some property further out to put his machinery on.
Now he has two forty foot iots on a one-way street. Mr. Schmedeke said
he didn't lmow how Mr. Muggli intended to use this triangle, but he thinks
it should be left as is, with Mr. Muggli getting first chance to use the
triangle when our traffic pattern is developed.
MOTION by Fitzpatrfck, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Cocnmission
refer this request from Council to the Plats and Subdivisions - Streets and
Utilities Subcommittee and reco�end that Mr. Muggli make a formal request
for vacation ot a portion of the triangle created by the slip-off at 60th
Avenue. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
CONTINUED: CONSIDERATION OF FLOOD PLAIN ZONZNG
Mr. Jerrold Boardman said he bad talked to Jim Wright from the Denartment
of Natural Resources, this afternoon,�-'and he said there is the possibilty
_ that we could eliminage the Rice Creek area fom the.�lood way, They would
still be in the flood plain and stiil have the restrictions, but the area
could be called R-1, flood fringe overlay, or some different name.t There
is the possibility we could handle this with some type of ordinance such
as a Creek PreservatiPn Ordinance, and then we could eliminate this area
from the flood plain.�
Mr. Darrel Clark said the State did pass a statute in 1969 that made
it mandatory for every cc�unity in Minnesota to zone flood plain. It's
only a matter of time before they start checking to see if we have complied.
We should do something and try to vork with the State,
Mr. Schmedeke said they wi.11 be forcing us to do something within a
couple of years. We should pass an ordinance or take some action before
the State forces us to comply.
Mr. Minish asked hov the Rice Creek Watershed District will affect
the flood plain restrictions, In several wa[ershed districts there car be
no construction unless it has had clearance from the district. If the
Rice Creek Watershed District has restrictions, maybe it would take us
off the.hooii as far as tIie Rice Creek s?tuation.
Mr. Clark said if we are going to revise ou� zoaing ordinances as far
as restrictionsin the flood way, we should check with Hud and the Rice

Creek Watershed District to see what the:guidelines of each are, so that
all the restrictions are the same, Chairman Erickson asked which restrictions
would override. Mr. Clark said the most restrictive would override. We
can check and see what the Rice Creek Watershed District restrictions are.
Chairman Erickson said we are approaching something that we can live
with. I think the areas in Riverview Heights should be zoned flood plain.
I think these people should get the opportunity to have flood insurance.
�� Mr.�Boardman said Jim Wright told him that possibly the route to go,
was to have the City adopt what he called the Motherhood Clause, saying
that the City will develop some type of flood plain management and with
the adoption of this clause, we would be eligible for flood insurance in
about three weeks, without actually designating areas in the flood plain.
Then we would work with the State of Minnesota to set up some type of
management control.il
Mr. Minish asked what would hagpen if we adcpted the resolution and
never came to terms with the State. Mr. Boardman said we can adopt the
resolution; if we don't agree with the State, we can alway pull out. We
wiil be forced to have a resolution later on.
Chairman Erickson said he thinks the State is anxious to get this
program working and the more cooperation they get, the easier it will be
for Fridley.
MOTION by Minish, seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Commission
recommend that Council adopt this resolution to be used when applying for
flood insurance in Minnesota. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the cotion
carried unanimously.

Mr. Gordon Drake was present to present his requests. Mr. Drake explained the sizes
of each prospective lot; those north of Glencoe were to be 622 feet each and those
south of Glencoe were 50 foot lots. Mr. Drake further explained that the homes were
ramblers laid lengthwise on the 1ot and that each house placement would meet a11
zoning requirements.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked where a garage would be located. Mr. Dralce indicated a drive�aap
along the side of the house with a garage in the rear yard, to be built later if the
owner desired.
Mr. Crocader asked if Mr. Drake felt the cost would be prohibitive to purchase
additional lots abutting the present lots. Mr. Drake replied that the 50 foot lots
abutting the property were being sold at the cost of an independent building site
and consequently would put the homes out of range of other homes in the area. These
homes were to be at the top of the price range in this area, $24,000 -$25,000.
Mr. Crowder moved to close the public hearing. Seconded by Mrs. Wahlberg, upon a
voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
MOTION by Cro�ader to recommend to Council approval of all four requests by P1r. Dralce,

Chairman Minish referred back to item ;�1 as PSr. DeGardner had arrived.
Mr. DeGardner explained that a building was presently on the site, and this
building would be razed and a home built in its place.
A discussion followed in regard to the likelihood of future floods in this a.rea.
Chairman Minish reminded Mr. DeGardner that this area was part of that being
considered for flood plain zoning.
Mr. DeGardner seplied that he realized this, but he lives in the area and cannot
see where there would be a problem since the road was raised.
Mr. Crocoder asked if he would consider waiting until the flood plain question is
settled.
Mr, DeGardner indicated a desire to begin imr.iediately and would lilce action this
evening.

NORTH PARK COhRfITTEE MEETING
�JANUARY 31, 1973
� �
�

The first meeting o£ the North Park Committee was called to order by
Moderator, Timothy Breider, Councilman Ward I, at 7:35 p.m., January 31, 1973.
� ROLL CALL:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Lee Ann Sporre, Jan Seegar, Dave Harris, Duane Prairie,
Tim Breider.
, MEMBERS ABSENTc None.
Councilman Breider introduced suggested topics for discussion as follows:
�
'
'
Expanding the scope o£ the Committee.
Study o£ criterias.
Whether or not there should he a study.
Approval of the prospective Consultant Brauer $ Associates.
He stated he would refrain from making c�ents as he would like his
participation to be that of Moderator. He called on the League of Women
Voters representatives to start the dis wssion.
' Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton St. N. E., Fridley, League representative,
said they were very happy with the propased study. Her only suggestion
would be to expand the scope of the Committee. She"added, with a community
, of 31,000 people, there should be more people represented. Mrs. Jan Seegar,
324 Ironton St. N. E., Fridley, League representative, agreed saying, the
interest in the utilization is greater than the two named organizations.
Mr. Dave Harris said it was his hope to look at the proposal as he had some
questions concerning it. He said he would like to keep the Committee at
a reasonable size rather than have problems arise from creating a large
Committee. He added, he believed it was the purpose of fhe Committee to
accomplish satisfaction on the basic procedures, those things which will
be the grounds of agreement. He added, the representatives present can
not make commitments for their organizations, they must return to their
respective bodies to indicate the positions they would like to represent.
He suggested returning to the meetings of the North Park Committee with
the organizations suggestions in writing. He said he now had a list of
ten items to discuss with the Committee.
Mrs. Sporre said she did not agree with Yhe plan of putting everything
in writing, she added, the study will be a process of learning, which may
change our thinking. She suggested they limit the Committee discussion
to those things which could be brought back to the Council to offer
aflditional information to aid them in their decision making.
Mr. Hanis again stressed the point that the conunittee must come to some
basic agreement in order to complete the study. He said, so there will
be no misunderstanding, the Committees thoughts should be brought to
the organizations, discussed, and the results of these discussions presented
to the Committee in letter forni.

Mrs. Seegar asked if all the members present wished to keep the meetings
limited to League and Chamber participation? - Mr. Harris answered, no,
he believed all groups should have an input on the utilization.
Councilman Breider said their purpose was to set Some groundrules such
as levels of the projects suggested. He added, they were not to make
any decisions on the outcome. He hoped the results of the Committee's
work and the study would list the assets of a nature center and the assets
of a golf course, giving an overall view of both utilizations for comparison.
Mr. Harris expressed concern at whether they were to agree in advance of
the completion of the study. He said they should agree to abide by the
findings of the study and the Council should also agree upon this. If
one member of the Council does not agree, will the project be thrown into
' a drawer with noti�iug done?. He said he believed there should be some
input on the part of the Council on this point. Councilman Breider
said he would like to set some groundru2es which would enable us to see
what kind of study would be done. He did not agree with Mr. Harris'
view that the Council would hire a consultant to do a study and not
Iook at the study. He said he could not speak £or Ehe entire Council.
He said he would like to present the Co�ittees groundrules to the Council
for discussion and allow them to approve or disapprove.
Councilman Nee addressed Mr. Harris saying he thought he was asking for something
that would be impossible to obtain at the present time if he requested
Council concurrance. He added, the Couacil could not make a policy
decision which would be a point of fact without the presentation of the
conclusion.
Mr. Harris said it was not his intention to put the Council on the spot,
but he was concerned that if the issue is forced to go to a special election
in 1973, it would minimize the number of people's participation. He said
it would be more representative of the entire community if it would be
brought to a general election in 1974.
Councilman Nee, commented, it would be quite a task to sell the people
on a bond issue.
Mr. Harris said there had been a Chamber of Cownerce Board Meeting the
previous week, and at that meeting the Chamber had discussed the proposal
and listed the items they believed should be expressed and clarified before
they would support the proposed study.
Councilman Breider asked i£ anyone had any suggested guidlines or rules
they believed should be associated with the study?
Mrs. Sporre said the feasibility study did a good job of looking into
both aspects and studies. Councilman Breider asked if there were any
comments on the number of people to be served by the utilization, and
Mrs. Sporre said she believed all the determining factors were covered
in the report. _
Mr. Harris suggested the folloxing as some.topics for basic groundrules:

1) Prior agreements on guidlines should be communicated in writing,
including the Council's approach.
2) Capital inputs for each suggested utilization
3) The firm that does the report should not be allowed to become
involved in the construction.
He said after these items are discussed, the Committee could go on to
the discussion of what is necessary in the study.
Councilman Breider said he was not sure if it would be a good idea to
have the consultant just do the study and not bid on the work. He stated
he was not prepared to come to a decision on this point and asked if
anyone knew how many others may bid on the construction? Mr. Harris
said there are four companys who can develop golf courses and only one
who can construct nature centers, Brauer $ Assoeiates. He added, how
objective can the firm be, they may be eliminating competition by proposing
a nature center. Mrs. Seegar said Brauer and Associates did have competition
in the construction of nature centers. Mr. Harris expressed concern, stating
he did not believe this is a good situation. Councilman Nee said the consultant
would have to do some preliminary designing to determine the feasibility.
He added, Brauer and Associates have asked for copyrights. They would want
to be paid for the design as they would have time in the plans, Councilman
Nee said.
Mr. Harris repeated his view that those who do the study should not participate
in the bidding. Councilman Breider said they had considered the possibility
of obtaining direction from another local firm, but did not want to get
in to the position where there would be two consultants arguing, as this
would not present an objective study.
Mr. Harris said he was not advocating Brauer g Associates were not capable
of doing the study, he only asked that they be eliminated from bidding and
this point be established as one of the Committee groundrules.
A member of the audience said Brauer and Associates had done this type
of work before and he did not believe the firm participated in construction.
He cited Brooklyn Center as an example.
Mr. Harris said if the Committee got together and set some guidelines and
presented them in writing no one could scream 'foul ball', and the Council
would be hard pressed not to do something. Mrs. Sporre said in her opinion,
it would not be a good idea to rule out one of the best firms in the
11vin Cities. Mr. Harris stressed, Brauer may allow the competition to
force his decision one way or the other. Helen Johnson, Execu*ive Secretary,
Chamber of Commerce, asked if any one present knew what firm had designed
Lee Rose in Washington County and i£ there were any other firms in the area
who were able to construct nature centers. Mrs. Sporre said there are other
firms and it is a growing field.
A member of the audience said it is stated in the proposal report that ance
�
'

the study is compiled by the firm and presented to the Council, the study
can not be made available to someone who wants to bid.
, Gouncilman Breider said this was strictly a tenative proposal and the City
is not bound to anything. He said the City Attorney, Virgil Herrick, would
go through the proposal before it is approved. Councilman Breider continued,
' the City will be allowed SO copies of the study, and it will be difficult
to keep the results of the study out of the hands of the bidders.
Councilman Breider the existance of the surface water problems in the
' area. He questioned if these conditions would be best suited for a nature
center or a golf course? Helen Johnson asked what would happen as the
result of a severe storm? Councilman Breider said the only thing that
� would save the area is the beaver dam and would this be washed away? He
said the cost for utilization and elimination of these water problems
should be figured for toth alternatives.

Helen Johnson said Ramsey County is planning a limited nature center in
the Rice Creek area. She added, if the County is planning on constructing
one and picking up the cost, why should the City of Fridley also plan one?
Councilman Breider said this type of data and information relating to it
would be included in the study. He said the consultants plan to indicate
what would be more economical, what would be needed more, and what the
soil conditions of that area are. He said the City would not be spending
any money until they are allowed to see the facts that would enable the
Council to make an intelligent decision.
Mr. Harris said he had not found any indication of minimum capital inputs
for either suggested utilization. He added he had piayed golf on courses
that had ranged in price from a million dollars to $300,000, the later
not being much of a facility. He said i£ the £acility planned would
be inferior and no one would use it, it would not generate much revenue.
He stressed the need for the establishment of some kind of minimum cost.
He said the same principle applied to the construction of a nature center.
He said'if it were an inferior study, it would not generate much participation.
If the facility is attractive, he added, the people are going to use it.
Mr. Harris continued saying, constructing a golf course for less than
$750,000 would be a mistake. He mentioned t}�e possibility o£ allcwing
someone to lease and operate the club house i£ they planned a dining and
bar facility. He said the $750,000 may only be an adequate amount to
construct a snack bar and a shower room. Mr. Harris suggested an amount
of $500,000 be used £or the construction of a nature center.
Councilman Breider said this would be $300,000 less than the amount used
for the Wood Lake nature center, which was $871,000. Mr. Harris said
there had been a great deal of money put into the North Park land. He
added, one does not buy a$SO,OUO lot and construct a$20,000 house on it.
He said he felt it necessary for the Committee, the Council and Brauer F,
Associates to come to some agreement on cost before the study is made.
Mrs. Sporre said she did not believe there could be a minimum cost establisF:ed
for the construction of a nature center. She said at the present time
many school groups are using the land and this was only a small part of
what could be done. She added, the land will become more precious

as time goes by. Mrs. Sporre said there are parts of Fridley that
could not be used for a nature center, they do not have the correct
shape, the contrast, wildlife, marshes and prairies. She said the
minimum could be any amount of dollars, this is why she believed the
study was necessary.
Mr. Harris said the useability of the utilization would depend on a persons
interests. He mentioned he had driven by Locke Park last July 7th to
do some picture taking and at that time there were only 19 cars in the
parking lot. On the same Sunday afternoon he counted the cars in the
North Oaks pazking lot and there were over 100. He said that a nature
center may only draw the same 19 cars if there is no more to attract
interest. The City could use a mobile home in conjunction with a nature
center and it would attract more people. This way he added, the land
would retain its shape an� could be used for years. He added, i£ the
land were to be used by classes and schools, it would only be utilized
during certain months of the year.
Richard Young, 5695 Quincy St. N. E., Fridley, said a gol£ course could
not be used during the winter months. He expressed concern at whether the
the members of the League of Women Voters were being allowed to present
their views. Mr. Harris answered Mr. Young saying he had answered his
questions at previous meetings and would not like to dominate the
program with this repitition. He said the Chamber supports the utilization
of a golf because it is self supporting and the people of Fridley should
not have additional taxation. He said, the construction of a golf course
would not change his participation in North Oaks, but he felt all who wish
to should have a place to play golf.
Mr. Kenneth Sporre, 301 Ironton St. N. E., Fridley, asked if the proposed
$500,000 nature center would include any building facilities or would
the entire sum be used £or reclaiming the land? Mrs. Sporre said it
would not be the decision of the Cownittee, this would be another o£
the purposes of the study. She added, the expensive type situation of
the Carver Nature Center probably would not be repeated in Fridley, she
added, two buildings have been constructed in the Carver Center. Mrs.
Sporre said this would be another reason for the study, we would like to
know what a North Park Nature Center would cost. Mrs. Seegar asked if
this was the reason for the study, and Mr. Harris said no.
Mrs. Seegar said the North Park area is being used at the present time
with no buildings and no trails. Mr. Te*ry Kirkham, 430 67th Ave. N. E.,
Fridley, Parks and Recreation Commission, said present use with no buildings
is not what the nature center supporters really want. If this is what would
be proposed as a nature center, those supporting the project may favor the
construction of a golf course. Mr. William Drigans, 1060 Lynde Drive N. E.,
Fridley, asked if the feasibility study would inclvde the type of building
materials? He asked if this was the type of thing they would include in
the guidelines?
Councilman Breider said if the land were to be used as a nature center,
some land reformation has to take place. He added, the water running

through the property from East River Road will have to be regulated and
this will cost some money. Helen Johnson asked if it would be possible
to dredge the property and have some ponding? Councilman Breider said
it would be necessary to create ponding areas for wildlife.
Mr. Harris said the figures he had mentioned were just examples and
should not be considered his suggested minimums. He added, he would hate
to see a report completed with the figures too low. The construction of
a facility that is inferior would only allow 'pasture pool' he said and
the same thing would happen with a nature center unless it were worthwhile.
Mr. Bob Schroer, 7886 Firwood Way, Fridley asked if a nature center would
still be in use ten years from now and if the industry in the area would
drive the wildli£e from the areaT Helen Johnson said #he people must
stay on the trails and would not be able to see the animals, but added,
she believed the area would be compatable for either utilization. Mr. Terry
Kirkham said there.are 120 acres and this should be a sufficient area
for them to roam and run without pushing them out. Mr. Harris sai3 he
lives in the Locke Park area and before the pumping station was constructed
they saw deer and fox frequently, and seldom see them anymore. Mr. Chuck
Sheridan, President of the Chamber of Commerce, said this is what the
study will determine. Mr. Schroer said he hoped this would be taken into
consideration. Mrs. Storre stated that in section 1-B, page 2, of the
proposal there should be an addition covering the wildlife evaluation.
She said with the help of a land manager, wildlife could be either encouraged
or discouraged. Mrs. Storre said they did not want to create a zoo, but
there are ways to encourage wildlife with fencing and caging. Mr. Storre
said it is not often that one finds deer out of their habitat, they generally
stay within one mile of their home. He said if no one chases them out
they will probably stay there.
Mr. Terry Kirkham asked if it would be possible for Brauer and Associates
' to provide the high and low figures for each utilization. Mr. Harris
commented, he would not like this to be done, as if there were not enough
money allowed for a golf course, he would rather see a nature center in
, North Park. He added, the report should be a fact gathering study and
the community should tell the consultant what the City is able to spend.
Mr. Harris said another quastion arises, how is the money going to be paid
' back. He added, we have to give the consultant some levels to work with.
He mentioned if a golf course were planned, this wouid enable the consultant
to say 'X' number of golfers would pay back the principle and interest.
' If the money were to be obtained through taxes, this would not make a great
deal of difference to the individual in Fridley, but it would be alot of
tax dollars to Onan and Medtronics.

Mrs. Sporre said a nature center could be used by a great deal of people
during all four seasons. Mr. Schraer asked Mrs. Sporre if the children
who had been attending sessions at tlie North Park area would be as ar.xious
to attend i£ it were not a part of their schooi activities. hlrs. Sporre
said the same children can be found at the Park in the evening as their
interest has been aroused. Helen Johnson said they would have to iigure
out a method to attract the children during the summer months. She added,
there could be a security problem.

NORTH PARK COMASITTEE MEETING, JANIIARY 31, I973 PAGE 7
Mrs. Seegar said being the Park is located so far from the residential
communities, the children would have to rely on their parents for
transportation. Helen Johnson said the Washington County Center is also
a distance from the community. Mr. Harris said this fact would be true
if it were a golf course or a nature center.
�� i� `
i
Mr. Harris brought up the fact Yhat the construction of a nature center
may be a duplication of effort if Anoka County builds one. Mrs. Sporre
said this information should be included in the study. Councilman Breider
agreed that what is being proposed in the area would be included in the
study. Mr. Harris asked at what point the City should agree not to continue
the study? If the City determines that tha County is going to build a
nature center, does the City continue to study both utilizations? He added,
the citizens of Fridley would be paying taxes for a duplication of services.
Councilman Breider said he did not believe the City could decide to drop
their plans if Anoka County develops a nature center.
Mr. Harris said often times when talking about capital improvements,
a figure is used to determine cost per individual. If the City would say
the cost per child will be $1.23, this does not mean a great deal to the
individual, but it does to the industry in the area. He said this sort
of tactic gives the people the wrong impression.
Mr. Sporre asked why it would hurt for Anoka County and also Fridley to
have nature centers. He used as an example, Hennepin County has seven
nature centers. Mr. Seegar asked if Anoka County would build a nature
center and Brauer $ Associates were preparing their study, would they
still charge the City $14,000? Mr. Harris said he believed this should
reduce the cost o£ the study. He asked what would be the use of a study
if this £act were not determined until after its mmpleting? Councilman
Breider stated that both Coon Rapids and Blaine have golf courses, and
if this were to be used as an example, there would be no use to study a
golf course utilization. Councilman �reider asked if they were trying
to imply if Anoka County builds a nature center, Fridley would not need
one? Mr. Duane Prairie, 489 Rice Creek Terrace, Fridley, Chamber o£
Commerce representative, said if Blaine builds a nature center, the citizens
of Fridley would not have to pay taxes on that center. If Anoka County
builds a nature center, the peop2e would have over laping taxes, and be
compelled to pay for both. Councilman Breider said this would work both
ways. If the County would decide to build a golf course, there would also
be double taxation.
' There was some discussion on the double taxation for those who contribute
ta�c money to the Columbia Heights library system.
'
,
,
Mr. Harris said they must determine the number of people who will be
served by both of the utilizations. He added, a determining factor should
be the golf course is revenue groducing.
Mrs.;Seegar said there had been no mention of the use of a naturalist in
the proposal. She added, it is esential for a naturalist to do an in depth
study of many factors if a nature center is to be studied. Mr. Harris
said it would be possible to obtain the same sort of input for a golf
course by using some one £rom the National Golf Foundation.

Councilman Breider said it would be impossible to hire an architect
without telling him what kind of money would be spent on the project.
Mayor Liebl said they may have to pay as much as $300,000 to regulate
the water in the area. Mayor Liebl stressed the importance of setting
some minimum amounts for each utilization.
� � i, , i
/a -�
Councilman Breider suggested submitting a minimum price to the consultant
stipulating a naturalist be used £or the plans of a nature center. Mayor
Liebl said the cost would always be iustified, i£ the project were to
be used a great deal. He suggested reaching some agreement to bring
the people of the community together in reaching a goSl such as was done
in Aichfield. 'He said he would hesitate to support a project if it would
cost $80,000 to $90,000 a year to maintain. Mr. Harris said the golf
course would not cost the City anything to maintain. Councilman Breider
said this would be another factor to study, the maintenance cost. Mayor
Liebl stated, the City should determine whether or not the County would
be willing to participate. Councilman Breider questioned if this should
be a task of the Committee. Mr. Prairie asked if the Committee could get
the County's feeling on the subject? Councilman Breider said they must
determine the number of dollars to be used before asking for participation.
Mrs. Sporre asked if the County would want to be involved at this point
since it would be becoming involved in internal affairs? Mrs. Sporre
asked if there would be a possibility of obtaining funds from the Federal
Govenment? Mayor Liebl stated, this would not be possible £or four years.
Mr. Edward Fitzpatrick, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission,
said there had been many items introduced at the meeting that had to
be remedied. He added, he thought it was necessary to provide the planner
with proposals for information which had not been included in the proposal.
Mr. Harris agreed saying, there are many things that are legitimate concerns
that are not included. Mr. Harris added, are all the items listed in the
proposal necessary for the study? Mr. Fitzgerald stated, the study should
provide the Council with enough information to make a decision.
Councilman Breider suggested going back through the points discussed in
an attempt to reach a decision. He mentioned a minimum capital outlay
or capital impovement. Mrs. Sporre said she did not believe the League
would agree to suggest a minimum cost for a nature center. She added,
the League believed the study would include �his type of information.
Mrs. Sporre said a nature center could be developed in states. She added,
buildings could be added i•rhen the money became available. It would be
very difficult to determine a minimum cost, she added.
Councilman Breider said $400,000 over a eight year period still costs
' $400,000. He added, this is the method used to set up parks. A golf
course could be developed in the same manner, one hole per year. He stated
the need for submittir.g complete com arative
P prices. He said they must
keep in mind the water regulation may be $200,000 alone. Mr. Harris said
' it would be difficult for the Council to make a decision if they were not
furnished with a repayment figure. He stressed the need to furnish a
figure based on a useable facility and not present a low figure to sell
' the people on a utilization. Councilman Breider said he did not believe
the Committee would be able to set a dollar figure at the present time.

Mrs. Sporre stressed, in her opinion, the consultant should 'provide the
high and low figure. Mr. Prairie said if a contractor were to build
a home he must know the amount to be paid for the home. Mrs. Sporre
said the League did not know what the City could afford for this project.
Mayor Liebl stated, not very much. Councilman Breider suggested they
talk to the members of the League and determine an amount. Mrs. Sporre
asked if they would like a maximum figure also? Councilman Breider
said he believed this could be left open.
' Mr. Harris stated another question of concem would be who will be
using the facility? Wouid it be 10% Fridley people and 90� from other
communities? He also asked if the project would be related to the
' activities of the YMCA. Paul Brown, Director of Parks and Recreation,
said he had met with the people from the Y and they have expressed
interest. He added,they are interested in being included in the plan.
, Mr. Harris asked what the method of funding and the method of repayment
would be? Will the study include a number of areas and methods o£
funding? Mrs. Seegar asked if this should be a concern of the consultant
' or the concern of the City Administrative offices? Councilman Breider said
he believed this should be a concern of the City.
' Mr. Harris asked if it would be possible to eliminate some of the items
in the study and reduce the cost of the report? He added, i£ some agreement
is made, will the study continue and the cost remain the same?
Councilman Nee said he had been concerned because the matter has not
been channeled through the Park Board. He said in his opinion the nature
center is a higher priority item at the present time. He added, the
land is one third of the City's park land and should involve a great deal
of study before a decision is made. He said the City must consider what
the people will want fifteen years from now. He added, at that time the
people may have a better vision o£ the use. He asked if the City might
consider multiple uses of the property such as a picnic area and a
bridle path. He said he did not know the pros and cons of such a useage,
but stressed the need for further study. Mr. Harris stated, Mr. Nee had
made a prior commitment before the study had been completed and this was
a cawse £or concern. He asked Councilman Nee what would happen if Brauer
F� Associates decided against a nature center? Councilman Nee said he
believed it to be a political decision and in his ppinion the majority
of the citizens favored the construcLion of a nature center. He added,
if the study proved something else or if he were shown something else,
he would reconsider. He stressed the need to determine what the people
want to do with it.
Mr. Harris said in his_opinion, the people of Fridley favored a gol£
course. He said they must consider the fact that a golf course would
be self sustaining and additional re�enue could be put anto other City
parks. a
Councilman Nee said the people did not want to commit the land to the
use of 5� of the people. He suggested using a method of trying to determine
the interest of the people.

Mrs. Sporre agreed, the people of Fridley fifteen years from now should
be considered. She added, she would rather wait a few years to develop
the land than be sorry. She said, once the bulldozers go through, there
will be no chance to reverse the decision.
Councilman Breider asked Paul Brown if the Comprehensive Park Plan of
, 1968 included plans for a golf course? He continued by saying if the
property were to be fenced, the City would still have to consider regulating
the water problem.
'
'
�
Councilman Nee said he would rather spend $14,000 to find out what the
people want than spending $14,000 for a P� L sheet. Councilman Breider
said it will be necessary to determine how many peopie the area will serve
and how many of these people would be in Fridley.
Councilman Nee said the City should not always make decisions on a monetary
basis, he added, the City could sell all of its park land and make money.
Mr. Prairie asked if any other groups have come to the surface in support
' of any other uses? Mr. Harris said the only other alternative that he
was aware of was no utilization at all. He reminded him of his earlier
comments about Locke Park, asking, how much land should be left like this?

Mayor Liebl said it just happened that the League felt one way the Chamber
another. He said it would have been a big job for the Council to do the
job of setting guideiines. He stated, the City had applied for LAWCON funds
and they were critized for doing so. He said they were very fortunate in
obtaining the land. He stressed the need for guidelines in financing.
He said he did not believe the City could just fence the land and let
it sit for another fifteen years as they had said the land would be used
for parks and recreational purposes when they asked for Federal money.
He mentioned the difficulties involved in a special election.
Paul Brown said there should be another use for the property included in
the planners study. He said the planner should know if the City wants the
facility to be first class or economy. He said it would be possible
for his depaMment to come up with a plan for a park in that area. He said
the Committee should consider many areas when making decisions on utilization
of the area. He used seasonal sports and activities as an example; there
will be snowmobiles in the winter months and mini bikes in the summer months.
He said the department had begun updating the Comprehensive Park Plan, but
they had to consider priorities. He added, in some areas in the City there
are no parks or no access to the parks, these must be considered first,
he said.
Councilman Breider stated that the Council would have to make the
final decision on the utilization.
Councilman Nee suggest a crew be sent into the community to investigate
' lifestyle, interests, goals for park acquisition and generally fin3 out
what the people of Fridley want. Councilman Breider said the Committee
must present some facts to these people before a study could be made.
' Mr. Young asked where the money would be used after a golf course was paid for?

Councilman Breider said it wouid be placed in the parks fund and in the
general fund, decreasing the total mill levy. Mr. Young asked if it
would increase the park budget. Councilaan Breider said the budget was
determined by the Council and r.he City is also limited by the State in
how much the mill levy can be raised.
Mr. Harris said he believed the Council could save time by coming to
some agreement with the people and not allowing the issue to be brought
to an election.
Councilman Breider suggested the memben of the committee present their
proposals on expanding the co�ittee and suggested minimum costs to
the co�nittee at their next meeting. He suggested adding other organizations
to the participation. Mrs. Sporre said the.participation should not
be limited to those involved i.n organizations, but all as most citizens
do not be2ong to organizations_
Mr. Harris said he did not believe this point was necessary as the
committee was not making any decisions, they would only be making
suggestions for the Council to discuss.
Councilman Breider suggested the representatives present should talk
' with their memberships and come to some agreement on the items mentioned.
He said he would talk to the City Attorney about the copyright clause.

'
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked if the ca�mittee should be expanded before the
next meeting on the 14th of February? Councilman Breider said they could
discuss expansion at the next aeeting. He said there had been°a tenative
schedule set for the consultant to answer questions at a Council meeting,
February 5, but this was a schedule that could be changed.
Councilman Breider said the wriYten statements should be presented to
, the committee at the February 14, 1973, meeting. Mayor Liebl said it
would be possible to delay the presentation by the consultant to the
Counci L

SCHEDULING A STUDY SESSION ON LIQUOR STORE OPERATIONS
CObP4ENT: We would like to discuss pricing policies
and placing the liquor inventory on a data processing

MEMO T0:
SU&TECT:
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
FRIDIEY, MINNESOTA
January 31, 1973
THE MAYqR AND CITY COUNCIL
AUTOMATIC DOORS AND O�NERS FOR THE NEW LIQUOR STORE
Since the time of drawing the plans for the new off-sale liquor
store, the staff has come up with the idea that automatic doors and openers
would be a nice feature to incorporate in the store. These doors would be
quite useful because people are often carrying in empty beer cases on their
way in, and of course, carrying out goods when they Leave, and automatic
doors would ease the tlow of traffic considerably. I have contacted
Mr. Patch, our architect, to find out what these would cost and he has
given me a price of $5,425 for these doors installed in the store. It
is an item that, if we were to consider them, must be instailed during
coastruction of the building because of wiring and mechanical work
required. I am enclosing some informatioq on automatic doors for your
review.
The estimated cost that I gave you for work done to date was $121,500.
' To date, including the one change order for the stone work, we have obli-
gated construction costs of $110,000, indicating that we are presently
about $11,500 under budget on the store. The only two large items to be
, bid are the signs and the internal furnishings of the store. We have not,
to date, used any of the 10% contingency fund which you have set aside for
construction of the store.
'
'
'
�
,
'
' .
I feel that we are trying to make our liquor store into one of high
quality and service, and the addition of the automatic doors would be a
nice feature in the store. If the Council desires this, they could do so
by authorizing Change Order G-1 and authorizing me to proceed with the
purchase and installation of the automatic doors.

Self-Contain�d Automaiic D�or O��r��or
. for Swing Type Doors
7100/7600 Series
DOR-O-PAK—Concealed Overhead or Surface Mounted Closer
The two DOR-O-PAK systems are both automatic door operator sys-
tems housed in a 6" x 6" aluminum housing that may be installed center
pivoted above a center pivoted door, or may be surface applied to
the head jamb to operate offset pivoted, butt hinged or center pivoted
aoors.
The unit houses a pump and motor assembly which provides hydraulic
power to open the door when 24V circuit of the actuating mechanism is
energized. Electric current is supplied by a separately fused line at
each entrance. 115V, single phase, 10 amp power line is required.
Two systems are offered; the basic difference being that one employs
Spring Power combined with hydraulic force to dose the door while
the other uses Spring Power alone.

MEMO T0:
SUBJECT:
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
February 2, 1973
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
LIAISON WITH STATE LEGISLATURE
'
On January 23, 1973, Mayor Liebl, Councilman Starwalt and I attended a
, meeting with other Anoka County municipal officials to interview Mr. David
Kennedy for subject position and discuss a joint powers agreement.
' It appears at this time four cities -- Fridley, Coon Rapids, Anoka and
Columbia Heights wish to proceed on a joint powers basis to hire a Legislative
liaison. A draft of the agreement is enclosed for your review.
, Mr. David Kennedy is an attorney in private practice at the present time.
He has formerly served as legal counsel for the League of Minnesota Municipalities,
an attorney for the State Planning Agency and as an attorney for the Minnesota
' State Senate. He is very experienced in dealing with the legislature and is
personally acquainted with a number of legislators.
, The agreement calls for a maximum expenditure for each particip2ting city
of up to $8,000. Mr. Kennedy's compensation would be at the rate of $40 per hour
tor actual hours spent and this includes a11 expenses and overhead costs. He esti-
mates the total costs for the first session of the Legislature (betweainow and June)
' to run around $15,000 depending upon the amount of work the cities require of him.
The maximum allocation could then carry the cities through both sessions of the
Legislature,
'
'
The contract terminates June 1, 1973 unless renewed by a11 parties. It would
be appropriate after the first session has ended to evaivate the services and bene-
fits received and then decide on whether or not to continue participation in the
program.
Recommendations:
' 1. Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the Joint Powers Agreement.
' 2. Authorize employment of David Kennedy as Legislative Liaison Representative
for the City of Fridley and other participating cities in Anoka County.
'
'
3. Appoint the blayor or one Councilman to assist the Manager in keeping
informed of the Legislative Liaison's activities.

2) Establishment of a maximum work week at 40 hoars and require
time and one-half for the time worked in excess of these 40
hours;

and the members of our volunteer citizen's committees and
commissions would be in question;
3) Jobs for the young adults of our community , and others
throughout the State, would be seriously reduced;

and sieep as well as perform normal station duties and answer
fire calls;
AND WHEREAS, the municipalities of the State of Minnesota are already Limited
in levying additional taxes to produce revenues to support these additional costs,
thereby making a cut in services as the only alternative;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Fridiey
recommends the following changes in House File 9, Minnesota Fair Labor Standards
Act:
1) The $2 minimum wage, if it is to be established, include only

MEh10RANDUM T0: Northtown Corridor Study Management Team
• Northtown Corridor Study Technical Task Force
Fk�: George J. Scheuernstuhl
Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc.
DATE: January 17, 1973
SUBJECT: Northtown Corridor Study Forum t�3
This memorandum describes the objectives of Forum �3 and the activities
to be conducted at the Forum to accomplish the objectives. It is sub-
mitted for your approval.
Forum Objectives
The objectives of Forum �3 are:
1. To present feasible alternative alignments for the
Northtown Transportation Faci2ity.
2. To describe the rationale for selecting the align-
ment alternatives.
3. To present examples of design techniques and
multiple use opportunities to make each alter-
native facility pleasing and compatible with the
environment.
4. To obtain citizen reactions to alignments.
Forvm Activities
Forum �3 will be composed of three major parts. These include:
1. General description of plan alternatives.
'I 2. Group discussion sessions.
3. Brief explanation of Evaluation Process.
■ I
Page 2
1• � �
A copy of the suggested Forum Agenda is attached to this memorandum.
During the first part of the Forum, the consultant will present the
basis for the selection of the Corridor and of the alternative
alignments within the Corridor. A series of slides showing each
alternative alignment will be shown to familiarize the citi¢ens
with the area through which the alignments will pass.
The pros and cons of the alternative alignments will be presented
as well as the �ultiple use opportunities and design techniques
to make each facility as visually pleasing and compatible with the
environment as possible. The consultant will prepare illustrative
boards for these purposes.
7'he group session activities will proceed as follows. Each group
will be given a map of tfie corridor area with the alternative align-
ments identified. A clear acetate overlay will also be provided for
this map so that revisions to the alignments can be drawn directly
over the proposed alignmen±s. In addition to this map, each�group
will be provided with a set of aerial photo prints of the area alono
the alignments and the constraint map used in Forum Session n2. In
addition to these materials, each Group Leader should bring with him
the set of planning data maps prepared earlier in the study and dis-
tributed to each participant. These maps wiil be ussful as reference
materiaL
Each group shouid syste�atically evaluate each alignment by moving
across the alignment in an east-west or west-east direction. In
considering the alignment, the Group Leader should attempt to have
the citizens identify:
1. Issue/conflict points along the route.
2. The reasons for the issues and/or conflicts.
3. The method by which these issues can be resolved.
If the group desires to select an alternative alignment to those
presented, the reasons for the selection should be determined by
the Group Leader. Prhile all types of citizen input are encouraged,
it would be more helpful, however, to concentrate the group's
efforts upon the alignments suggested.
It is important that the group secretary's response be structured
in the above order. Therefore, the cansultants would provide a set
of note paper with these items indicated. The Group Leader would
check to make sure that the group secretary properly fills out the
note form and wili collect the notes at the end of the group session
and submit them to the consultant for later swr,mari�ation.
'I Page 3
As in the case of,Forum �2, the Group Leader will ha�e an iu�portant
role in Forum k3 in guiding the discussion and probing for the citizen
inputs requested above. To do this, the Group Leader should familiarize
himself with the area involved by reviewing the planning data maps
distributed by Barton-Aschman in the earlier stages of the planning
program. -

BAIHT rAYI. MINNEfOTA SS�95
Mr. Ray Lappegaard, Commissioner
Department of Highways
Room 411, Highway Building
St. Paul, Mn. 55155
Dear Mr. Lappegaard:
The City of Fridley has, what I consider, an emergency
problem. The intersection af 69th Ave. and Minnesota
State Trunk fiighway #47 is a hazard to safety. Since
November 20, 1969 your department has been aware of
the problem.
, From the correspondence I have been provided, it seems
a low priority has been assigned the establishment of
traffic signals on 69th and Highv.ay47.
' The City of Fridley feels an immediate need for the
installation of the signals. They have indicated to my
office a willingness to pay total construction cost if
' the State will agree to reimburse the City for a fair
share in two or three years. Anoka County will also
be asked to participate due to the close proximity of
' the County Ice Arena.
Please give this matter your support so that a situation
' that has been put off too long may be rectified.
Very,truly yours,
r �

DS l�ll (Reply)
Request for Traffic Signals in the Intersection of 69th
Avenue and T.H. l�47
A discussion of the referenced subject with Ralph Rhudy, Assistant
Traffic Engineer for Minnesota Highway Department, District li5, indicated
the installation of traffic signals at 69th Avenue and T.H. 1i47 is a
low priority with the Highway Department. Reasons for the low priority
by the Highway Department are as follows:
1) Traffic control signals are not installed unless one or more
of the eight signal warrants in the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices are satisfied.
a. Low traffic flow indicated by previous traffic counts on
69th Avenue does not satisfy the Minimum Vehicular Volume
Warrant.
b. Low number of accidents in the intersection directly related
to the absence of traffic signals does not satisfy the
Accident Experience Warrant.
c. All eight warrants have been previously studied by the Highway
Department and none could be satisfied.
2) Funding for warranted projects is at a minimum.
a. 69th Avenue and T.H. 1147 intersection had been included on a
list for possible funding but was rejected due to lack of
funds and the warrants problemr
b. Many intersections satisfying the warrants were rejected due
to lack of funds.
Another factor is that the estimated cost to install the traffic
signals is $50,000 of which Fridley must pay 50%.
To ensure that the present situation involving the intersection
is accurate and to further pursue the traffic signal request to the
Highway Department, the Engineering Department will proceed as follows:
� 21A
Memo to Nasim Qureshi
Reply to DS �17
January 29, 1973 u B
Page 2
1) Install traffic couaters in the intersection (at the left turn
lanes) and on 69th Avenue to determi.ne the existing traffic flow.
2) Investigate all reported aecidents, in the latest 12 month
period, in the intersection to determine how many could have been
prevented with traffic signals present.
3) Study all traffic signal warrants and take appropriate action
to determine which can be satisfied.
Upon satisfactory completion of the above items, the Highway Depart-
ment will be contacted for approval and funding for traffic signals in the
intersection.

We are certain you must be rrorg3ering about the status of safety improvenent
projects that ure have been jointly considering on T.H. 65 and T.H. n�,
Un; ortunately, we were un�le to program this r.rork zs c•re hzd recuested.
The reasons are very real. It is a mat�er of limited ivnding availabil�ty
and priority considerations. I� it is of any consolation, there o-rere over
90 such projects that we could not progran over the next three years.
T.H. 65 at 53rd Avenue is the one project in Fridley programmed through
1975 and that date is October 25, 197e, Resolution of the storr� seti•rer con-
siderations, primarily with Columbia �?eights, needs to be nade before ive
can continue with serious layout stucies. Action is being tal:en on this
sewer and we plan to offer alternate solutions to the erfected agencies
by the end oi T•Iarch. At this time, it zpnears that the letting date for
53rd and .H. 65 is realistic. �
We do not consider it prudent to actively pursue studies on the unprogrammed
projects until such time as r�e have the programr,�ed projects wlrier cor.trol.
47e do recognize the �esire and need to accomplish the pr000sed v�nrk on T.:i.
65 and T.H. 47 and appreciate the cooneration you have given us in tryir.c
to relieve sor.�e of the intersection problems, b9e vri.11 do our best to get
this oArk progranmed as soon zs our linited funding oiill allorr.
Please call us if you wish to discuss these concerns further.

The City did supply your staff with some of the large scale sketches for
their consideration. If you feel that you need additional copies of those
we would be glad to supply you with them or will meet with your staff at your
convenience. •
A request in the resolution is that the City is asking the Minnesota
Highway Department to prepare the necessary plans for the improvement and
draw up the appropriate agreea�ent betcaeen the City, Anoka County and the
Minnesota Aighway Department.
We would appreciate your quick attention to this request.

Q�.
He also reported that Minneapolis Gas Company has filefl for
higher rates in both the City of Minneapolis and in suburban areas
in its filing of January 10, 1973. These rates will go into effect
February 1, 1973, unless they are revised. He indicated that two
principal causes of the rate increase are (a) the increase in the
cost of qas purchased from Northern Natural Gas Company, Minneapolis
Gas Company's pipeline supplier, and (b) proposed revisions in the
methods used €or allocating costs between the City of Diinneapolis
and the suburbs, which have the effect of allocating additional
cost to the suburbs. As between these two causes for rate increaaes,
the pipeline increase is of considerably greater significance than
the allocation methods.
He reported that Northern Natural Gas Company has had two rate
cases pending before the Federal Power Commission. The first was a
rate increase filed in 1971 which became effective (for rate
collecting purposes) in November, 1971. The other case was filed
in 1972 and became effective in December 3, 1972. The two cases
together applied for increases of more than $60,000,000 in rates
Northern Natural would charge its jurisdictional customers.
Northern has been negotiating with the parties to these
' proceedings in an effort to settle these cases. A possible settlement
has not been submitted to the Federal Power Commission. This
settlement would give Northern about one-half the increase it sought
in the 1971 proceedings for the period P�ovember 1971 to December 1972
' and Northern customers would get a refund for that period. The
settlement would give Northern about two-thirds of what it requested
in both proceedings from the period beginning December 1972. In
' formulating its rate filings, Minneapolis Gas Company has reflected
the proposed settlement rates.
, He reported that the reallocation of expenses as between
Minneapolis and suburbs relates to (1) distribution operating
expenses, (2) utilization expenses and (3) sales promotion expenses
' excludinq merchandise sales and advertising. He reoorted that he
has not yet s,ade a final decision on these allocation methods but
has indicated that he first wishes to review the allocation of all
expenses.
'
'
'
'
J
'
He expressed dissatisfaction with the settlement stipulation on
the Federal Power Commission cases, indicating that he does not agree
that advances to secure £uture gas supplies should be included in the
rate base, as the stipulation would pex:�it, particularly in areas
outside the contiguous 48 states. The Federal Power Commission in
a rule-making decision has recommended that advances of this kind
for supplies in the lower 48 states are includable in the rate base,
but only through tne year 1973 and because such advances have proven
to be fairly successful in securing additional ciomestic qas supplies.
The same ruling indicated that other advances might be includabie
if the gas supplies were accessible by pipeline. He expressed doubt
that the supplies for which tdorthern had made its advance payments
woul@ fall in that category.

�C
On a different matter, he reported that Minneapolis Gas
Company's S�v'aseca stprage now apoears to be operating satisfactorily.
Upon inquiry, he advised the Board that Minneapolis Gas Cor�pany's
advertisinq budget for 1973, company-wide, is approximately
$2,346,000. He said that he had exnressed reluctance to apnrove
this item in the 1972 bucget and that the tZinneaoolis Gas Company
has not reduced its advertising budqet altilough idSP has. He also
indicateci that in other parts o� the country in areas of qas
shortage, sos�e reg�ulatory tribunals have ordered discontinuance of
any advertising programs.
He indicated that in Minneapolis Gas Comaany's case, the
company aryued that it uoes have an adequate supply at this time, bv
reason of such thinqs as its '-9aseca storage, that not all of its gas
is being solci ancz tnat there is a need for it to take promotional
action to improve its load factor.
There v�as 3iscussion about increases in the interruptible rate.
?�r. iiess indicated tnat ta'�ere had been increases in interruptiAle
rates in both the city and suburbs and ti:zt these increases were
higher percentage increases for firn� sales.
3. Sales Pronotion �x�er.ses: P.fter discussion it was
' moved by iKr. Pzu y, seconc�ec Ly i8r. Eanson, that the Boarc of
Directors go on record zs exnressing the follo�aing views:
That the sales promotiom expense budget of $1,521,000 for
the su'vurbs far the year 1972 is, at best, excessive.
That it is the oz�inion of the Board that such e:cner.se is
unnecessary ane unreasonaDle in the light of the reqional arid
local energy crisis, tiie yeneral gas shortage whicn perniits the
ready sale of the qas supnly available, the fact that other utilities
under certain similar circar.;stances are operatinc,� with little or r.o
sales promotional eifort anc' t�<e fact that rival utilities in this
area have found it possible to re�uce sales promotion efforts and
expenses.
That in tiie opinion of the Board, the incurring of such exgenses
for tiiis purpose raises a serious question as to the econoraical and
efficient management of a cor�hany with regar�z to this item of
expense in t:ie 1973 budget; and
That the SRA rate engineer is requested to give special
attention to tnis itern of expensz during his review of the 1973 rate
filings to uetermine whether or not such items of expense could be
eliminated or substantially reduceu.
Carrien unanimously.

9. Rate Review Procedure. The Suburban Rate Authority
attorney, Clayton L. LeFevere, reviewed provisions of the Uniform
Suburban Franchise relating to rate filings and rate review. He
indicated that each year the company must file its proposed rate
changes by January 10. Thereafter, the rate engineer has 20 days
within which to accept or order the modification of such rate. If
the rate is ordered to be modified by him, the company has 30 days
thereafter within which to initiate an appeal to the district court.
If it does not do this, the modifying order by the SRA rate
engineer goes into effect.
1 He called attention to the fact that ail of the SRA members
have adopted the uniform franchise as an ordinance. (The
ordinance book of each of the member municipalities, therefore,
' should contain a coniplete copy of the franchise under which the
SRA operates.)
' 10. Adjournment: There being no further business to come
before the meeting, it was moved by I�1r. Goldberg, seconded by
Mr. Ulstad, that the meeting be adjourned. Carried unanimously.

FROM: MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/fINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CHANGING THE PROJECT NUMBER FOR THE 1971-3 STREET
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT {EAST RIVER ROAD)
DATE: JANUARY 31, 1973
Because of the length of time between the start of the 1971-3 Street
Improvement Project and the time the improvement will actually be
assessed, it is desirable to rename the project. The assessment
roll will be adopted at the time the assessment rolls will be
adopted for the 1973 Street Improvement Projects. The rolls already
have been finaiized and adopted, and the project closed out for all
of the other 1971 street work. This would in no way affect the
cost to any person or area but is strictly putting a different
job number on the project.

4. Shared Recreation Facilifiies
We agree that it is desirable and advantageeus for
the two apartment complexes to share recreation facilities
such as the teT lot and tha swimming pool. 'vJe cannot,
however, perman=n�ly guarantee the shared fzcilities
because i� is very I?kely ;hat the apartments �vili have
separate o�.�mers.
If there �re any questions on this, please give me a call.

Proposed Pension Changes
' The membership of the Fridley Firemens Relief Association has directed
me to request a meeting with you and the City Council relative to some
changes the Association desires to incorporate into our pension plan.
' Our plan operates under a special law of the 1969 session of the
Minneaota Legislature. It is necessary to return to the legislature
if we are to incorporate the desired changes. This presents something
' of a critical time factor if we are to be able to work these changes
through the current session of the legislature.
' The Association would appreciate an early opportunity to meet and
discuss these changes with you and the City Council.
' Thank you for your cooperation.

Mayor Liebl said waiting five to ten years would be ridiculous.
He added, it must be done now. He said with the construction
of the Northtown Shopping Center, traffic had doubled. He
sugqested indicating to the legislative representatives that it
is imperative to build this bridge now.
Mr. Mike Paripovich, 8200 East River Road addressed Councilman
Nee and asked him if he thought it would be possible to dig
a trench across the East River Road, terminating the traffic at
Coon Creek? Councilman Nee said he thouqht they should attempt
to significantly reduce the traffic south of the creek. Mr.
P�pipovich repeated his question to Councilman Nee, and Councilman
Nee said he was planning to work on the East River Road problem.
Mr. Paripovich asked if it would be possible to reduce the speed
li.mit to 30 miles per hour as the area is residential. He asked
if someone was presently workinq on this? Councilman Breider
said the speed regulations are determined by the State. He recalled
the City had requested a reduction in speed, and asked if there had
been a reply. ,
,. The City Engineer said the City does not have any jurisdiction
on the roadway. He said East RiVer Road is a County Road and
all the speed limits are set by the Minnesota Highway Department.
' He said, the City had asked for a program of reduced speed limits
there and the limits were lowered on a small portion. Re said all
the parties involved are concerned, but he added, the City may get
some results if a little pressure is placed on the legislators and
� the Highway Departmant. Mr. Paripovich said, then, nothing has
been done.
� Councilman Nee said he had only been on the Council for three weeks,
and in his opinion, there would be no solution to the problem if
a freeway were constructed through the area. He said he did not
believe the solution would be unreasonable, and continued by saying
� it ie a political problem. He suggested puttinq some muscle together
to be heard in Minneapolis.

plans vrould have to go out far bida. He placed the drawinga of the
pzoposed p�ans on the easel.

Mayor Liebl said it is very important to have an attractive sign as
� the liquor business has become very competitive since the new tax
law. Mr. Anderson said they had decided the words 'Bottle Shop' would
be better suited than 'Liquor Store'. Mayor Liebl agreed saying,
� there are already too many signs that say 'Liquor Store". The City
Manager said he had choseR blue for the color of the lettering because
there are so many using red and there is a red sign next door.

Councilman Nee asked the City Attorney if they were required to say
'Municipal Liquor Store' on the sign. The City Attorney said no.
The � ty Manager said some of the City's present signs are worded
'Liquor Store'.
The City Managar said the action that is necessary at the present time
would be to approve the conaept of the sign. After this is done,
the City will have to receive bids on the project. Mr. Anderson o£fered
his assistance in preparing the specifications for the sign.

individuala' lots creating a question of who owns land abutting the lake.
He added, if the Council did not approve the registered land survey at
this time, they would be making this reguest into an issue that it
is not.
� Councilman Utter asked the City Attorney if the Council could legally
deny the man the registered land survey7 The City Attorney said, if the
City were to deny the requast, the judge would direct the Council to
' approve it. Mayor Liebl said the people had spent a great deal of money
to obtain this action, and he did not believe the Council would be
justified in denying it.
I The City Attorney said he would quastion the Locke Lake Association's
desire to have the City acquire the lake bottom property. In his opinion,
it would be a better situation if the individuals around the lake own
, it, if the land were to bec�ne smaller, they would �ut the lake, it
would be better if the abutting home owners would take possession of
the land.
, Councilman Nee asked the City Attorney if it would be better for
the City to take possession of the lake than have the individuals in the
area acquiring the property7 The City Attorney said it would be better
' for the individuals to have title. Their property should run to the water's
edge, not just 'x' number of feet. He said� the present situation where
they do own 'x' number of feet would be fine if the lake incxeased its
� size, but not if it would become smaller as lots would not meet the
water's edge. He said, he knew of one person who was under the impression
that he had purcnased a lake shore lot. He said he had to spend more
money to acquire the land to the water's edge. The City Attorney said
� the other residents should follow the procedure that Mr. Schultz has
to obtain property, but through the County if possible to save money.

Mayor i,iebl asked the City Attorney if, in his opiniory they should deny
the registered land survey. The City Attorney said if the stipulations
of the Planning Commission had been followed and the land was in two lots
instead of four,ha thought it would be in order to approve this item.
Councilman Nee said there were several of the homeowners of the area
present at the meeting� and asked if any of them would like to comment.
There were no comments.
Mayor Liebl callad for a second to Councilman Nee's motion to table the
action on the Registered Land Survey. There was no aecond, and the Mayor
declared tha motion DF.AD FOR LACK OF A SECOND.

Councilman Nee 9aid the adoption of this motion would eliminate any idea
of preempting by municipal ownerahip. He added, there would be no purpose
of obtaining three-fourths of the lake bottom and not all of it.
Councilman Breider stated, there are pther individuals who own portions
of the lake bottom and if the Citx were to deaire to obtain titJ.e to

a meeting �late set. Mr. Nebel said there had been no specific date
set, but t.a believed it would be within the next week.
Councilman Nee said he was not aware of the City's responsibility for
maintenance of the lake at tkye present time, but he did not believe it
included maintaining a certain water level. He said the documents that
he had seen did not give the City the right to flood peoples'
property. He said he was certain Bob Buckley could advise the Council
on the matter.
The City Attorney said on page 4-B of the agenda there was a map and
according to this map there are eight property owners involved in the
ownership of the lake bottom.
' The City Manaqer said it would be imperative that levels of maintenance
be set if the City acquires the land.. He said, the Association must
tell the City what they will expect so the City can determine an
estimated maintenance cost. Would this involve extensive dredging, etc.,
� he questioned. Mayor Liebl added, if the price of yearly maintenance would
come to $25,000.00, there would be many people in Fridley that would
object violently.
Councilman Breider asked the City Attorney if it would be possible for
him to meet with the people of the area. The City Attorney said he
would.
Mr. Carl Paulson, 430 57th Place N. E., asked if there is public
access to the lake7 Mayor Liebl answered, yes, in one place. Mr.
Paulson asked what the City is planning to do with the silt from the
east going into the lake. Mayor Liebl said he was not prepared to
answer.
Mr. Kohlan addressed the Council. Mayor Liebl asked him if he were
speaking for himself or Mr. Schultz? He said he was speaking for Mr.
Schultz. He talked of making a plan of the lake, saying it would not
be an easy task as the lake is vary irreqular and the level will, and
has, changed. He added, it would be difficult to make one plat. Mr.
Kohlan said there would be difficulties in public ownership. He said
the City must think of the areek east of the lake. xe added, what affects
the lake, affects the creek and what affects the creek, affects the lake.
He said this is not a simple matter, no one knows whiah end the tail
is on.
Mayor Liebl suggested Councilman Nee meet with the people in the
area and return to the Council with some indication of what the people
want. Ae said, if the peopla want to acquire the land through a combined
action, the City will attempt to find a feasible method of doing so.
If they desire public ownerehip, the City would acquire the land, but
thia would have to be discussed again by the Council.
MO'�ION by Councilman Nee to authorize the City Attozney to research
and invastigate possible methoda of obtaining title for the people on
Lacke Lake. Seconded by pouncilman Utter.
Cpunailman Starwalt asked if a method oi obtaining title for the property
owners at Locke Lake is determined, shouldn't this have been done for

Mr. Schultz in the past and hia good intentipns. He said he knew that Mr.
Schultz was very concexned about the water level and araount of silt
being deposited in th� lake. He said, it had been a matter of the
City not being able to raise the $100,000.00 to prevent this. Mr. Schultz
said thia is why he had done what was done up until the present time.
Mayor Liebl asked Councilman Nee the names of the aix people he had
talked to and stated t0 the Council that he had talked to. Councilman
Nee said he did not believe he had said he had talked to six people.
Mr. Schultz assured him that he had said six. Councilman Nee said he would
not name the people as he did not wish to expose them to what he had
just experienced. Mr. Schultz again insisted he name the six people.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Schultz not to take the previous action by
Councilman Nee and the vote against his proposal as a personal vendeta.
He said if this is what was thought, he would publicly appologize for
Councilman Nee. Mr. Schultz said he would have rather heard it from
Councilman �Iee, but he did respect the Mayor.

Foundation`or some other foundation wished to contribute to the project,
would they be willing to donate to the City? If they would agree, he said the
money should be handled by the City Finance Director. He said it would be
possible to establish a non-profit foundation independent of the City of Fridley.
Counci.lman Breider said a few weeks ago, the Committee asked the Council to
indicate that tf:e City was behind the project. He said at that time the C wncil
indicated they were bettind the p'roject and would maintain the area. What would
the Ford Founda[ion say today if this were to be changed?
,' Mr. Wilmes said if the additional two lots were received, they could be independent
of the project. Councilman greider asked if part of Chase Island was in the project?
Mr. Wilmes said there is an agreement with the foundation concerning the expendi-
tures. Councilman Breider said he had no objection if some foundation or individua]
� wanted to buy [wo lots for part property. Mayor Liebl said the Council. had given
their support to the project.
�
�
Mr. Wilmes stated this is a$250,000 project. He said, the Committee liad been
working to raise funds for the project without reimbursement wlien [hey had to
individually pay their expenses. He added, the Committee a.ssumes a ll [he expenses.
He said he had set up an advisory board. He stressed the need for people who know
what [hey are doing.
Mayor Liebl said he did not believe Mr. Wiimes had the authority to se[ up such a
� Board, the Council has the authority. The Mayor said Mr. Wilmes and the Committee
could not just do what they pleased with the money, they must have experts te11
them what to do. He said he questioned whether or not the Council could come to a
� decision on this matter at the present meeting. He asked the City Attorney for
his ideas. He added that he could not see spending the City's [ax dollars for
this project. Mr. Wilmes said the project would be funded by private funds.
Mayor Liebl suggested Mr. Wilmes work through the Commi.tkee and presen[ a plan of
funding implementation enabling the project to get Tolling. Mr. Wilmes agreed
this would be a good method. He added he could get peopie to volunteer their
servlces. He stressed the point that it will be the citizens of Fridley who use
the parkland. (�[ayor Liebl said there had been a committee set up for the purpose
of implementing plans and obtaining funds. He said the land in question is parkland,
it must be used properly and usage must be approved by the Parks Department and the
Commisaion.
Mr. Wilmes said he had approached the Parks Department and he had been discouraged.
He recommended the Council give conaideration ta the Advisory Board, because the
land is to be used by the handicapped and they must have advice from people who
are familiar with the needs,of the handicapped.
Councilman Breider said the Council had been told in the past that the money would
eoon be rolling in. The �ouncll had agreed to maintain the islands, and there is
ati11 no money for the project. He asked what could be done withqut money?
Mr. Wilmes stated he believed the reason�there had not been any contributions is
that all the u�pney was Co be sent to the Gitp of Frid�ey, Counciiman greider said
the books are audited and Mr. Wilmes may come into the office and look at the
booke at any time. Councilman Breider said, the p�oblem is, the City does not
haVe any money to spend, He added, it was not possible to hire a planner for the
groject. Mr. Wilmes stresaed, if the addreps for the foundatlon Were the Fridley
Sta�e Bank, more fund� would be allocated.

Cpuncllman Starwalt asked if Mr. Gruye was present when he was not able to be
there. MT. Gruye said this was true. Mi'. Gruye added, either he or his wife
6�'e there 80% of the time.
�ouncilman Nee sEated he had read that Mr. Gruye had been advised by someone
in C1ty Hall that t�is activities were alright. Mr. Gruye said this was true, he
had been told if it were kept at a small scale there would be no problem. Counci]-
man Nee asked him if it had been his understanding that the law would not be
enforced. Mr. Gruye repeated, he thought it was alright if it were kept on a
sma11 sca�e. Cvuncilman Nee asked him if he had ever operated in another City.
Mr. Gruye said he had operated in Minneapolis. Councilman Nee asked him if
this type of activity is considered alright there. Mr. Gruye said he had not
operated under this type of license before.
I�jayoi Liebl said Mr. Gruye had complied with the law when he was asked to do so.
� �ouncilman Utter asked if he had been advised by a City Official? Mr. Gruye said
he would rather not say. Councilman greider said this was in his Ward and he was
mystified by this violation. He said he thought everyone had been operating
� �ccording to the law. He suggested delaying any action at this time allowing
Mr, Gruye to operate for a set period of time and reviewing his method of
pperation at the end of the period.
MOTION by Councilman Breider that the suspension and/or revocation of the license
be�tabled for 60 days and at the end of the 60 daya the administration review his
pperation and present a report Co the Council, and if any further violations
pccur during this time, license will be denied, Seconded by Councilman Starwal[.
�ouncilman greider clarified his meaning of a violation stating if he were to
'remain open past l:pp A.M., or if there Were any gamblinq violations, this would
�onstitute a violation. He added, if for some reason t ere were a disturbance
�t his establishment, Mr. Gruye would not be criticized if he needed protec[ion
4r aid from the Police ➢epartment. In these cases, Councilman Breider added, we
would expect him to call the Police to stop trouble. Mayor Lieb1 agreed, stating
�his prokection is due him under the law.
The Ciky Manager said that no City employee had sald a little gambling was okay.

The City Attorney said Mr. Gabrelcik needs a special use permit on that
property Lhat was not included in the grandfather clause on the property
that is now non conforming use. He added, according to the minutes of
the Planning Commission, they had requested �ertain information and they
did not receive this information. He continued, the Planning Commission
asked if he was going to submjt this information pr should they a�t on
the information they had. Mr. Gabrelcik said he was not going to fur-
nish this information and they should act on what t4iey had. Acting or,
the available information, the Planr�ing Commission denied the special use
permit. He added, it seemed the Council had two alternatives, one to
advise Mr. Gabrelcik to again appear before the planning Commission,
providing the information they requested enabling the planning Commission
to determine whether a special use permit should be issued. He said [ne
other alternative would be to advise the attorney to take action on the
violation of carrying on a used car operation without a special use permit.
Mayor Liebl addressed Mr, Gabrelcik stating the Planning Commission re-
quests. He said they had asked for evidence of purchase of the property,
title to the property, evidence of when he had acquired the property and
a plan on how he would like to use the property. The Mayor continued,
Mr. Gabrelcik had indicated he wanted to use lots 12 and 1j in addition
to the lots he had been using, and for the same purpose as he had been
using the others. Mayor Liebl called on Mr. �abrelcik's attorney, Mr.
Kohlan.
� Mr. Kohlan said it had been unfortunate that he had gotten a last minute
commitment and was unable to represent Mr. Gabrelcik at the planning
Commission meeting. He said according to the minutes the Commission wanted
some absolute deeds. Mr. Kohlan said as he saw it there were two problems;
, one, the special use permit whith would enable Mr, Gabre)cik use lots 12
and 13 without relying on the grandfather clause, and that portion of
land that was being used for a used car lot when the ordinance went
� into effect. The other question is that of getting the area in order or
cleaning it up. He said, the Planning Commission wanted to know how
much land in square feet would be in use and how many cars would normally
� be placed on thak land. He added, there had not been much of a turn over
in used �ars recently, but Mr. Gabrelcik was attempting to dispose of
them. Mr. Kohlan.sald whatever the current action, the used �ar lot is
still going to be there, and the �urrent action could be settled. He
, recommended, Mr. �,abrelCik return to the planning Commission presenting
the necessary inFormation.

Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Kohlan who had informed Mr, Gabrelcfk he needed a
special use permit, was it the City Adminisxration7 Mr. Kohlan said this
was his under5tanding, The Mayor said it had a)so baen his understanding.
Mr, Kohlan said according to the ord(nances, If Mr. Gabrelcik wanted to
'use any other part of the�land not covered by Yhe grandfather clause, he
would have to obtain a�pecia•1 use permit. Mayor Lleb) said Khis hed

Councilman Nee said the City did not want to support more of the same
type of use in the area, Councilman Breider said the City was concerned
with getting-some of the junk cleaned up. He suggested sending Mr. Gabrel-
cik back to the planninq Commission. Councilman Nee stated that most of
the cars in the area are not for sale. Councilman Utter said the property
on University Avenue was not too bad, but behind the building there is a
lot of junk, including a Iarge stack of tires. Mayor Liebl asked Mr.
Gabrelcik if he had hauled away a few loads of material and Mr. �abreicik
said he had.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Gabrelcik if he thought investing $10,000 in an area
he was trying to sell was foolish. Mr. Gabrelcik said this was his feel-
ing. Councilman Nee expressed the hope that the area could be �)eaned up
to the satisfaction of the neighbors.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to direct Mr. Gabrelcik Co resubmi! his reques[
to the planning Commission, furnishing them with the requested information
and materials and placing the item on the Council agenda again next month.

DISCUSSION ON MUGGLI REQUEST REFERRED TO PLANNING COMMISSION BY COUVCIL:
The Mayor called on the Ciry Enqineer to present the action taken. The
' City Engineer said the item had bee� referred [o the P�ats and Subdivisions-
Streets and Utilities Subcommittee by the Planning Commission.
CONSIDERATION OF FLOOD PLAIN ZONING:
Mayor Liebl said he recommended adoption of the suggested resolution in
the agenda. Councilman Nee said there had been some problems raised by
the p�anning Commission Chairman, Mr. Erickson. He added, the adoption
of the resolution may cause some damage in the area and he suggested these
questions be worked out before the adoption of the resolution.
The City Engineer said what the Planning Commission had recommended is
the adoption of the resolution as suggested. The Legisla[ures 1969
Statutes require a�� communittes who have floods must adopt the plan when
the information is made available to them. He said, it will only be a
matter of time until the City will be forced to adopt the resolution.
The City Engineer said that according to Mr. James Wright, Department of
Natural Resources, the City could adopt a resolution enabling tiiose in the
flood plain to obtain flood insurance in abqut three weeks without actually
design3ting areas in the flood plain. He added, this method may not have
full impact of the proposed plan. The City Engineer suggested making up
such a plan and establish the necessary areas.

is wiihin the proposed flood plain area and the prospecEive property owner
should be notified as to the level of the flood waters in 1965. He said

Mr. DeGardner addressed the Council say�ng the wa�er leval of the 1965

� Mayor �febl called on tha Cfty Manager to explain the proposal. The City Mana-
' ger said the automatic door had not been included in the budget and the archi-
tect had not mentioned it. He said thls proposal must be eitheP approved or
denied at the present time as the constructton was advancing to a point where
Ithey would have to be incorporated if they were approved.
Mayor Liebl safd they would be constructing a•high quality service if they
approved the automatic doors. The City Manager said the doors were a conveni-
' enGe item that would help the overall image of the store, Councilman Utter
asked if the doors would swing or slide. The Glty Manager said he believed
they would be limited to the 'swfn t e,
sliding door would be a 9 yP Mayor Liebl said he believed the
, good idea, Councilman Utter said he thought it may
be mpre convenient for the customers returning and carrying cases to get through
the sllding rather than the swinging door, The City Manayer said he would con-
' sult the architect to determine whether it would be possible to install the
sllding doors. He said, there would be no problem with one door, butthere is
another tur� upon exit from the building, and the customer wou)d have to walk
around another door.
Councilman Starwalt questio�ed whather the money mentioned would be a part of
the total money set aside fpr this project. The City Manager said it would be
in addltion to the amount budgeted for manual doors. Counci)man Starwalt asked
If the installation of these doors would increase the liquor business? The
City Manager stated he had toured several municipal liquor stores and gyerly's
had installed the automatic doors in their modern store, but Edina does not
have electric doors. Councilman Starwalt asked if the wstomer would be more
pleased to ha�e a bottle for a n(ckel less than have the automatic doors. The
City Manager said ha viewed the installation of automatic doors as a convenience
item, He added, it would surely make it easier for a lady to handle a case of
bottles,
Councilman Starwalt said this liquor store belondged to the people of Fridley,
and he belfeved the Gouncil and adminlstratlon could be criticized for spending
such a �arge amount on'automatic doors, He said he did believe the expenditure
for the sign was necessary, buk not for the doors,
Councllman Nee asked �W much maney was made on one bottle and how many bottles
wou)d have to be sold to pay for the doorsl The Clty Manager said if this
would be divided up oyer the life of the store, jt would be a vary limited
amount. The City Eng�neer provi`ded the plans foT the buflding and discussed
them with the Councilmen at the Council table.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to authorize the automatfc doors as stipulated.
Seconded by Councflman Utter. Louncilman Starwa�t strassed the quality and
elegancQ of the door, but sald he belfeved they were too much of an expenditure.

Councilman 6reider said he had included this as part of his proposal so the
City would not run Into any oppo�,ition to lagal counsel while they are )o6by-
ing. Councflman Nee sa�d typi.cally, attorneys are selected by the Counctl or
by the electorate. F{e addad, it is basically a politital job.
The City Manager said as he was from California he was accustomed to the Coun-
cil appointing the 1e9a1 services, he added, he had seen it done both ways.
He 5ard it would take some time to work out an agreement of terms. He suggested
setting a date when the agreement could be brought back to the Council for rati-
fication.
Councllman Nee asked if it should be handled in two different motions; one, who
you want to appoint and two, how you want to appo(�C in [he future9 Mayor Liebl
said the only way it cou)d be handled is to wixhdraw the second to the motion,
he reminded the Council that there was a motion on the floor at the present time.
Councilman Utter said he agreed with the first part of the motion, but had
some reservations about the second par•t. He added, the Council should have
the power to accept or rejact. He said the Counctl is not close enough to the
workings of the administratfon to approve recommendations of this type.
