gency basis for additioaal funding to meet the purchase commitment for the addi-
tional properties for the Foundation, He added, if this would be necessary he

� Mr. Harold Beckman, 6430 East River Road said :+hen the Road was widened to four
lanes, the property owne'rs were told the stub for the services was to be put
in. He added, this was never done. He said he had recently spent $1,300 for
a new we11 and his neighbor had also spent a considerable sum on his we11.
He added, he had also paid $200 far cesspool repai� recently. He repeated
the stubs that were to run across were never installed.
Mayor Liebl asked when this was promised. Mr. Beckman s�id at the time East
River Road was widened. Mr. C1ark sald this was in 1958. Mr. Be�kman repeated
the promise vhat was m�d� t� �he properry o�ners at that time by Philip Drake
� Sons.
Mr. Warren palm, 6421 East River Road� said he is in favor oi the construction
of the sewer service.
Councilman Nee said the mentioned amounts of $690 for water service and $430
for sewer service is not the whole picture. There is another substantial charge
for Che sewer and water laterals. Mr. Warren Palm saLd he had already paid this.
Councilman Nee said Mr. Pa1m had, but Mr. Beckman would be assessed for the lat-
erals.
The Finance Director said the amounts mentioned are the assessment amounts for
the service Line from the main to the property line. He added, the main line
down the middle of the street is charg�d so much for each front foot, He said
� there is a charge to run from the lateral to the property. He added, in this
area the amounts mentioned are the assessments to run from the lateral to the
property line. He said the second part of the assessment is the charge for the
lateral. The Finance Director said in this area there are no Laterals, but
according to the City Ordinance, each property owner is to be charged for the
lateral even if the service is coming from the main. He said the average sewer
lateral assessment was $954 for the year 1972 in the City of Fridley. He said
there is another additional charge for the property owner to run the service
across his property.
Councilman Nee �sked Mr. Palm if the information given about the laterals had
changed his opinion. Mr. Palm said no, he would have to do this sooner or later,
Mayor Liebl asked if thexe wexe any questions from the Council. Councilman Nee
said he had hoped to see more people at the hearing. He qizestioned Mrs. Erna
Slawson, 6420 East River Road on her opinion of the improvements at this time.
Mrs. Slawson said she was against the improvements.

front 2/3's Erom M-2 to C-2 and the rear portion from M-2 to R-3. Mr. C1ark
said an extension of Ranchers Road N, would divide the two areas. Mr. Clark
said he believed the hearing on the matter of the change to R-3 should be delayed
until the completion of the comprehensive p1an. He said if Mr. Schroer wanted
an answer on the zoning change, it should be dsnied at this time. Mr. C1ark
said it was his impression that Mr. Schroer had agreed to delay any action on
the portion to be changed from M-2 to R-3.
Mr. Schroer said there are people coming into the area and questioning the pos-
sibility of acquiring land for businesses. He said he feared if the land is not
provided for them they will go into other areas with their development. Mr.
Schroer said the area is becoming more desirable because of the construction of
the Northtown Shopping Center.
Mayor Liebl said the City would have to check the Comprehensive Plan and also
check with the Metro Sewer Board. Mayor Lieb1 continued it is the purpose of the '
plan to give enough notice for development and the Comprehensive Plan provided

guide to get the necessary_input.

fill, he would do the labor.

and the Planning Commission both felt that vines on the west fencing would
provide for screening. Mr. Clark said the petitioner had agreed to abide by
the sign requirements. He added, an additional consideration must be that the
planned parking would be on property not owned by the petitioner. Mr. Clark

ing area to the north.

Councilman Breider said there was to be a committee formulated for the purpose
of evaluattng the low income housing within the City. He questioned if there is
a commit_tee formed, would the commitYee say what the Metro Council wanted them
to find? Mr. C1ark said Mr. Jerry Boardman was the City Representative on the
matter and it would be more appropriate to direct questions to him at a later date
when he was present at a meeting,
Mayor I,iebl said there was a report submitted. He said the Coun�il members should
study the report and digest� its conCents and then question Mr. Boardman, Councilman
Breider asked if the problems were aC the Fridley level or at the Metro Council level.
Councilman Breider said he would like some direction from the Metro Council oa the
housing role. He said this would give a committee something to work for, He said
he was redundant to set up a committee to work with the Metro Council if they say
no to the role the committee is playing.

could be called on for assistance.

Mr. C1ark said the two requests could be handled together as they were concerning
the same type of variance.
Councilman Breider asked if a plot plan had been submitted? Mr. Clark said
there had and he showed it to the members of the Council.
Mayor Liebl questioned if the ad�acent property owner had approved the variance
to zero? Mr. Clark said there are other constructions with zero side yard set

The City Attorney said the problems arose from Ywo things, manufacturing and
assembly work. He said the parking requirerceente changed from the original
planned usage which was shopping. The City Attorney suggested perhaps requiriag

opposing the approval of the variance dated May 2, 1973.
Seconded by Councilman Nee. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl
declared the mot�ion carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl called on Mr. Sorseleil to state his ob,7ections to the variance
Mr. Sorseleil said his objecti�ns were as listed in the letter
Mayor Liebl asked if the appearance hazardmeant that the construction would
block the view from his home.
Mr. Sorseleil said he felt that if this variance was granted a11 other persons
in the neighborhood would request the same thing and it wouLd affect the
appearance of the entire neighborhood. He said he had not added a full two
car garage when he added on, he had only added a one and a half car garage.
Mayor Liebl asked Ms. Clifford Rickhoff, 1567-60th Avenue N. E„ ii he ob�ected
to the approval of the variance? Mr. Rickhoif said he was not opposed.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. A11en if the requested variance was absoluteLy necessary.
Mr. A11en said this was the least he could go and still have a double door.
Mr. A11en said he felt the double garage he was requesting would be safer
� than a tuck under garage. He said this would be several feet from the neighbors
construction and would have a fire wa11. He said he has two cars and th^y
sit outside, there is a greater degree of danger with the cars outside and
also a greater noise factor.
Mayor Liebl asked if Mr. A11en had agreed to construct the fire wall. Mr. Allen
said he had agreed.
Mayor Liebl said he would comply with the stipulations if he were to construct
the fire wa11. Mayor Lieb1 asked Mr. A11en if the two and a half feet would
be enough space to maintain the building? Mr. Allen said he planned to install
aluminium siding on the garage. He said he intended to improve his property
and increase the value of that property. He said he was aware that a house
with a single garage was worth considerably less than one with a double garage.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to continue the item on the variance requeet
by Mr. .Iames Allen until next meeting May 14, 1973, cnabling him to go to the
site and determine the effect of the proposed construction,

necessary remodeling of the Fireside Rice Sowl. Mayor Liebl said the remodeling
was being done step by step. He said the City did need the revenue the license

the value of the existing structure. Mr. Sack said the investment would exceed
$250,000 with the existing structure. Mayor Liebl asked if this would be about $350,000.
Mr. Sack said yes.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Sack if Howard ,Tohnson's had been one of the applicants for a
liquor license the previous year. Mayor Lieb1 said if the facility would be of equal
size to what is expected for this type of investment, he felt the license should
be approved for someone who had been a resident of Fridley for some time. He said
this is why Mr. Wong had been considered the previous year. Mayor Liebl said the
City is very grateful to Mr. Wong and his Chinese food is know throughout the entire
Metropolitan area.
� Mayor Liebl questioned if this would be a family orientated operation. He added,
the license fee of $4,000 would bring needed revenue to the area He said he felt
the approval of this facility would 6ring needed stimulation to the 6usiness community
in the area.
Mr. SacK said the restaurant would be famiLy orientated.
The City Attorney questioned if there had heen a�'ublic Hearing on the matter of
establishing the facility as a liquor on sale establishment. The City Attorney said
he believed the Public Hearing had been May 8, 1972.

all of the applicants that were interested in ��bY,aining a License. He said the add-
itional public Hearing was to consider the one that the Council had decided upon.
Councilman Starwalr asked if the facility wouLd be enlarged7 Mr. Sack said it would
not be. Councilman Starwalt questioned the family type of operation. H2 said he
had looked at the Roseville operation and asked if the Fridley restaurant would
be similar. Mr. Sack said it would be �ust like the Roseville operation. He
said there would not be any minors allowed in the lounge area. Mr. Sack said the
operation is basically a restaurant, He added, liquor would be served in the
restaurant area also,
The City Attorney said there would haveto be a Public Hearing with sufficent
� notice of that hearing before a license could Ue granted. He said he believed
one publication would be sufficent and the Public Hearing couid be held the first

RECEIVING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR THE SUILDING M6PIFICATIONS TO POLICE ,
DEPARTMENT AND EMERGENCY OPERATING CENTER (BIDS OPENED MAY 1, 1973, 10:00 a.m.):
Mayor I,ieb1 recalled and questioned if the City was to be using federal money for
the pro�ect. The City Manager said this was correct,
Councilman Utter said he would like to refer to a 1'etter he had received some Cime
ago in regard to the communications system. He said he wondered about investing
a11 this money in the coaununications center when a.n a couple of months the City
would not be using it, He said the City will soon be using the Anoka County
Communications System. He stressed his concern for the great expendature at this time.
The City Manager said a11 that was being done in the communications center is blocking
it from the remainder of theDepartment. He said this would give added protection
from disaster. He said the major part of the remodeling wi11 be putting in additional
of$ce space. He said they would also be modifying the detention center. He added,
the use of the communications center would decrease when the County System is in
use.
Mayor Liebl asked if the City would always be dispatching? The City Manager said
he thought Councilman'Breider could answer the question better than he could. He
said there is a question concerning the Fire Depa�tment at this time.
Councilman IItter said in the letter he was referring to stated the Communication '
could be for the Fire Department dispatching also, He said this would be done by
the County System. Councilman IItter said the only dispatching would be for Civi1
Defense.
Councilman Brei3er said this system is scheduled to begin on January 1, 1974, but
the City would not go onto the system rzght away. He said Fridley would be able
to dispense with the Dispatcher on the second and third shifts. Councilman Breider
added, only during the day and on an administraive level would Fridley have anq
dispatching at all
The City Manager asked if the Police Department number would remain the same.
Councilman Breider said they would be trying to retain this.
Mayor Liebl said they are fortunate this system was approved.
Councilman IItter said he was thinking of the additional cost and he had brought
ehis before the Council in the past.
The City Manager said solid walls have to be constructed to qualify for Federal Funds.
He said the ma�or remodeling would allow for privacy and the public would no longer
be able to view prisoner handling.
Councilman Utter said the Police Department was an after thought when the Building
was built, fIe said there was space available after the completion and the Department
decided to move into the 6uilding. He said the �ail cells were relinquished. '
MOTION bv Councilman Breider to receive the bids and award the contract for the
modification of the Police Department to Ear1e Weikle & Sons in the amount of
$21,646 plus the cost of the tank and vaporizer $995 which were not included in the

COMM[TNICATIONS •
WALL CORPORATION:
MOTION by Councilman Utter to receive the letter and forward the plans to the Plaaning
Commission for review and the plans to the Board of appeals for a waiver of density.
Seconded by Councilman Starwalt.
Mayor I,ieb1 said if the City would do nothing else, it should get the money back
by June 1, 1973. He said he was concerned if the homes could be sold when they were
, next to town-houses.
Mr. CLark said the reason this was beZng brought to attention of the Council is
according to the Ordinances town-houses built within R-1 7oning can not be rented
to another occupant, it must be owner occupied. Mr. Clark read the portion of the
ordinance stating the requirement.
��
REGIILAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 7, 1973 PAGE 29
The City Attorney said if the pro�ect is going to be a rental area, before this '
could be approved and a building permit could be issued, the applicant must obtain
a waiver of density. He said this must be done before the matter can he brought back
to the Council. The City Attorney said he would submit a memo to the Council
on the implications and guidelines. He said he thought a waiver requirement is
a reasonable one. ,iE said the Council would have to make the deeision. He said the
plans should be discussed by the Planning Commission also. He said at this time he
would recommend the Council send the matter to the Planning Commission and the Board
of Appeals, receive their recommendations and come back to the administration
allowing them some time to research and give their recommendations a1so.
Mayor Liebl asked if the plan� were to start work this year? Mr. Clark said if they
are not �tarted it will cost at least $30,000 in SAC charges. The City Attorney
said the revised plan could be approved to meet the Suly 1, 1973 deadline.
Mr. Clark said this would take no hearings except for the ordinace to change the plan,
The City Attorney said the Board of Appeals does not have to make a determination
of whether or not the action would be legal, they should say if the action would
be advisable or not. He said the Council could determine the legal aspects.
Councilman Breider said the question brought about a real dilemma. He questioned the
statement "Owner occupied in a reasonable amount of time" asking if he had models
in and he does not sell them, can the Council do anything about it if he rents them?
The City Attorney said the City can bring action against him. He said this would
be contrary to the zoning code. He said he thought there was a good chance this
would be upheld.
Councilman Breider said this had been a problem piece of property. He said he hoped
there would be no zoning to R-3 as this would open the land to other types of
development. He questioned the possibility of staying within the ordinances to
�uggle the piece of property.
The City Attorney said the proposal does not meet the ordinance requirements.
He said if the Council felt the ordinance should be changed, it would be simple to
change it.
Councilman Breider suggested the prohlem being solved by some agreement that the units
would not be rented individually.
The City Attorney said this would be an enforcing problem that would have to be
given to the administration. He questioned how the agreement may be enforced.
Mayor Liebl said the town�hvuses would be more residential than apartments.
,
Councilman Nee asked what would be Lost by taking this portion of the ordinance out?
Mr. Clark said he could not speak for the author of the statement. He said the density
would be the same as residential except for the portion of land abutting a lake
as this could be used as the total part of the area. He said the requirement '
would be 9,000 square feet. He said he had sent the letter and according to the
present code, they could not go ahead with the proposal, this is why he had brought
this to the attention of the Council.
Councilman Breider said if the property were privately owned, this would tend to
keep the property up mare

The Administrative Assistant said this section had been added to the code so that
the town-houses would have to go to town-house zoning He said they would Like to keep
owner occupied residential property in A-1 zoning. He said the people in the area
need some protection. He said at that time, the Administration and the Planning
Commission thought this type of protection was needed.
Councilman Nee said he believed it was to be mixed. He said he thought the goal would
be to ae11 the properties and make money.
Mayor Liebl questioned how they would se11 the town-houses ior $40,000 if they were
abutted by apartment buildings?
The City Attorney said if this was not a part of the ordinance someone could build
an entire block of 30 to 40 homes and rent them. He repeated his recommendation
that the Council send the matter to the Planning Commission for their recommendations
and the Board of Appeals for the varLance. He said these things would have to be
done before khe Council could grant any requests. He said if theCouncil caould
want to grant any request, there would have to be a change in the ordinen�e.
Mayor Leibl said they have to have a p1an, He said there would be no way he would
agree to R-3 in this area. He thought this would be a waste of time and money
for the developer, Everyone in the area is opposed to this. He directed Mr. C1ark
to advise them to 6ring in a plan.
Mr. C1ark said he would do this.
