FROM CITY ATTORN
Mr. Schneider addressed the Council and reiterated that he and three other citizens of the

meeting of the Planning Commission and Counci7 which had bene held at George Is In

Mayor Liebl had indicated•at the previous Council meeting that the City Attorney
would be presenting an opinion on this topic at the current meeting.
The City Attorney said he had prepared a letter addressed to the City Council and
he read this letter, "Re: Requirements of Open Meeting Law", dated October 27, 1974
to the Council and audience.
Mayor Liebl stated the opinion had been requested of the County Attorney and asked
if this answered Mr. Schneider's questions. Mr. Schneider said it did not answer

MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to waive the reading of the Public Hearing Notice and
open the Hearing. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously and the Public Hearing opened
at 7:40 P.M.
The Public Works Director, Mr. Richard Sobiech, exp7ained that this Public Hearing was
on a Final Plat which was Rice Creek Estates Second Addition, which was a replat of
Lot 10, Auditor's Subdivision No. 22. He explained this area to be bounded by Rice
Creek Road, 61st Avenue and west of Benjamin Street and said this area contained 22
residential lots. Mr. Sobiech said this was the second stage of a two stage develop-
ment of this area. He referred the Council's attention to the minutes of the Planning
Corr�nission minutes in the agenda which stated the Planning Commission recor�nended
approval of the Final Plat by the Council. He read the recommended stipulations to
the Council and audience. .
Mr. Sobiech said the developer of the Plat had called him and said he had a conflicting
commitment that evening and was unable to attend the current hearing. He added, the
developer had indicated he agreed with the suggested stipulations.
Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak for or against
this plan. _
Mrs. Gloria Are1, 1521 Ferndale said she was concerned about 61st. The Public Works
Director said 61st would not be extended this far. Mayor Liebl asked if this answered
Mrs. Arel's question and she said yes.
Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone on the Council who wished to comment on this area.
Councilman Starwait recalled when this area was originally reviewed for platting,
there had been some questions and concerns voiced by the area property owners, but
these problems had been solved satisfactorily at the present time. He said he had
no objection ta the plat and he had not received calls from anyone who objected.
Mr. Thielman said he was concerned about the road. Mr. Sobiech explained this had
not been taken care of at the present time because the deve7oper wanted fina] approval
on the plat before negotiating for this parce7. .
Councilman Starwait questioned Mr. Thielman ask�ng if he was satisfied with the
proposed plat and Mr. Thielman said he was satisfied. .
MOTION by Councilman Utter to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously
and the Public Hearing c�osed at 7:47 P.M.

MOTION by Councilman Utter to waive the reading of the Public Hearing Notice and open
the Hearing. Seconded by Counci]man Breider, Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously and the Public Hearing opened
at 7:48 P.M.
The Public W'orks Director said this project would provide water, sanitary sewer,
mains and laterals, and service connections to Rice Creek Estates, f3rst and second
Additions. He further stated these improvements had been requested.
Mayor Liebl asked if there was any questions from the audience and there was no response.
He asked if any member of the Counci] had any questions.
Counci7man Utter questioned the amounts in the agenda as compared to those in the
assessment hearing booklet, and said the figures are different. Mr. Sobiech explained
that the figures in the agenda included some storm sewer that was not necessary and
the figures which are correct are those in the Public Hearing booklet.
Mr. Dennis Schneider asked if this included any portion of Briardale and Mr. Sobiech
said this would not include anything in this area at the present time.
Councilman Utter asked if the people on 61st had been notified. Mr. Sobiech said
yes and referred the question to Mr. Mervin Herrmann, Assessor. Mr. Herrmann referred
ta page five of the hearing booklet where those notified were listed.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1974
PAGE 3
Mayor Liebl asked the Ward Councilman, Mr. Starwalt if he had any questions on the
improvement. . .
Councilman Starwalt mentioned the installation of the storm sewer in this area and
concurred with the feelings of Mr. Sobiech that no elaborate storm sewer system
would be needed in this area because of the nature of the elevations and composition
of the gravel and sandy conditions of the area. He also pointed out when the swrrounding
area was developed, this allowed for future drainage of these additions. He thought
the area would be drained adequately because of the construction of the proper slopes.
Mrs. Arel again addressed the Council and asked if this improvement wou7d affect
her property and Mr. Sobiech said he did not be7ieve so, but asked Mr. Herrmann to
confirm this statement. Mr. Herrmann stated that the Arel property would not be
affected. •
Councilman Utter referred the Council's attention to the list of those being affected
by the improvement and asked why Charles Rice was on the list. He recalled that those
in his area were all opposed to the extension of 61st in this area. Councilman Utter
stated, Mr. Rice did not want to split his property and he did not see how Charles
Rice could be aff ected by this, and explained he had a number of ineetings and had
spent many hours out there and those people were opposed. Counci7man Utter said he
believed the benefit was being received by the people four lots to the north of the
Rice property. He said this did not make any sense to him that Mr. Rice was ]isted
on the assessment roll.
The City Manager said t�ie current hearing is an improvement hearing and there would
be an assessment hearing when the improvements had been completed and matters such
as, who should be assessed, and who would benefit, would be appropriate at that time.
He said if the property owner would not benefit, the City could not assess him. He
continued to explain at the current hearing, it was to be discussed if whether or
not the improvements should be installed, and this other matter could be taken up at
another time. He said he thought the point made by Councilman Utter was we71 taken
and should have some special consideration at the time of the assessment hearing.
Mr. Thielman said he saw on the map on the projector that there was a red line on his
property. He questioned if there was to be any improvements on his property and
said he had been told that there wouid not be at this time. ThP Public Works Director
said eventually there would be improvements on this portion of property. The City
manager further explained that this current'process would clear this area legally
for the installation process. He pointed out that there would be no need to hold a
hearing on this process. He pointed out that there would be no need to hold a hearing
on this parcel at the time the improvements are requested.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman
Utter. Upon a voice vote, al] voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
unanimously and the Public Hearing closed at 8:02 P.f�i.
PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT: STREET IMPROVEMEN7 PROJECT ST. 1975-1 AND ST. 1975-2
MSAS : '
AND
RECEIVING PETITION N0. 19-1974 - OPPOSING THE INSTALLATION OF CURBING ON CAPITAL STREET:
The Public Works Director co�mnented on the street improvement policy and said those
listed under this project are those who are proposed for improvement in 1975. He
continued to point out that the street improvement in the City began in 1969 and
this was for several reasons such as the reduction of street maintenance and to
get rid of the swale back type of street which are being patched all summer.
Mr. Sobiech explained that of the 100 miles of roadway in the City of Fridley, only
nine miles of these roadways are not completed at the present time. He further
commented that this was a ten year improvement project and is to be completed by
1978. These improvements consist of curFri ng and asphalt mat. Mr. Sobiech said
all of the City streets at the onset of the program, were scheduled for improvement
at a set time or year,� but there had been sor�e changes in this schedule. Specifically,
he noted that there are some streets within this project that had been scheduled for
improvement in 1970 and 1971. He further pointed out because of the inflationary
spiral, in 1970, 70th Way was proposed for improvement at $13.30 per foot and in 1975
this cost is estimated at $17.16 per front foot. Another street had previously
ti,,,.,, ., �„�oa ��N imnrnvmm�nf a+ �ia_9n and now would also be $17.16 Mr. Sobiech
� ,
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1974
PAGE 4
said they were trying to stay within the schedule and keep the cost of this type
of improvement as low as possible.
Mr. Sobiech explained that those streets listed in the group ST. 1975-1 would be
36 feet wide and those in the grouping of ST. 1975-2 (MSAS) would be state aid
streets which would obtain aid and have specifications set by the Minnesota High-
way Department. He further explained in these cases, the roadway would be wider
and have an inereased capacity for tonage, there would be no additional cost to
the residents of the areas, they would pay the same as those living on the resident-
ial streets in the other grouping. �
ST. 1975-1:
BENNETT DRIVE• 7TH STREET TO QUINCY STREET:
The Public Works Director said this improvement had not been officially petitioned
for, but he had received calls requesting that this be done at this time.
Mr. Sobiech informed the Council and udience that the cost for the front foot
assessment would be $17.16 per foot and the side yard assessment would be $3.82 per
foot.
Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone present from this area that wanted to make
any cotmnents . .
Mr. Fred Olson, 6390 Monroe, addressed the Council and asked the method of assessment
on his property and said he favored the improvement. .
Mr. Marvin Trehus, 6380 Quincy, questioned the method of assessment on his lot
on Bennett Drive with an address on Quincy.
� Mr. Herrmann said he would be assessed for an average amount of front footage computed
by the average lot size of the area, and the additional footage would be divided
E- into thirds and he would only be assessed for one third of the remainder of the
front at the side yard rate or, $3.82 per foot.
Mr. Trehus said he had 155 feet of f ront yard on the curve. Mr. lierrmann said he
would be assessed a front foot assessment for approximately 80 feet with the
balance divided as mentioned previous]y leaving an approximate amount of 25 feet
to be assessed on the side yard. Mr. Herrmann said the additional 50 feet would
be assessed to those down the street to the half block mark at the side yard
rate.
Mayor Liebl asked the Assessor if it would be possib7e to send the gentleman a
letter informing him of what the amount of his assessments would be. Mr. Trehus
said he would call the Assessor the following day to obtain this information.
WASHINGTON STREET: 63RD AVENUE TO BENNETT DRIVE:
Mayor Liebl asked if there were any questions, pro or con concerning th-is section of
proposed improvement and there was no response. .
JEFFERSON STREET: 63RD TO BENNETT DRIVE:
Mayor Liebl said the cost would be the same in this area.

The Finance Director said the assessment policy should be read to the people present.
i Mayor Liebl read this policy to the Council and audience.
i
� A resident of the area questioned what would flappen to the trees in the area.
The Public Works Director pointed out the trees which may be affected by this
improvement unless the grade would prevent this. He stated this may be a total
of four trees. Again, he explained that this would depend on the final elevations
and they may not have to take the trees. .

response.
gUINCY STREET: 63RD TO BENNETT DRIVE: .
There was no respanse when Mayor Liebl asked if anyone wanted to comment on this
area. �
63RD AVENUE: MONROE STREET TO QUINCY STREET:
Mayor Liebl commented that this was just a short stretch of roadway and there
were no questions concerning it.
64TH AVENUE: VAN BUREN STREET TO ABLE STREET:
There were no questions about this area.
VAN BUREN: CAROL DRIVE TO MISSISSIPPI STREET:
Mr. D. E. Saba, 6325 Van Buren questioned how much his assessments would be and
the Assessor gave him approximate amounts on this, according to his footage of
front and side yards.
Mr. Saba asked how soon these assessments would be applied. Mayor Lieb7 explained
that this would be about nine months after the improvements had been completed.
The Finance Director briefly explained the City's assessment policy for the payment
of such assessments on improvements.
The City Manager said the point should be made that the City does try to obtain
the bids for such improvements during the winter months when the contractors
are anxious for work, rather than in the spring and surraner months when the rates
would be higher. He said he hoped that this project would be bid in the winter.
Mr. Barnard, 6301 Van Buren asked if it would be necessary to tear the old street
out and asked if this would be used for the base.
,! The Public Works Director said this would depend on the final grade and if there
4 would be proper drainage �ith the existing street�sed as a base, this would be
i done.

Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone present who was opposed to the improvement
of Van Buren and there was no response.
CAROL DRIUE: WEST MOORE LAKE DRIVE TO ABLE STREET:
Mayor Liebl asked if there were any comments about this section and there was no
response.
CAROL CIRCLE: OFF CAROL DRIVE:
There were no questions concerning this area.
BAKER AVENUE: WEST MOORE LAKE DRIUE TO MISSISSIPPI STREET:
Mr. Francis vanDan, 6342 Baker said he had no questions but he is opposed to the
installation of the improvement. He added, his neighbors share his feelings.
Mr. vanDan said this area is platted as Moore Lake Highlands and as the name
indicates, it does consist of highlands and drains well. He said in 1965 both the
Mayor at that time, Mr. Nee, and the City Engineer agreed that there was no
problems in the drainage of the area.
Mr. vanDan continued to state that he had lived in Minneapolis before moving to
i Fridley and there were curbs there, he said he did not think there was a need for
' I cement and stone, he would rather nave grass. He pointed out if the street were
� hot patched rather than cold patched, and the grade polished so there are no
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 1974
PAGE 6
Mr. Ron Bardal, 6220 Baker Avenue, agreed with the points made by Mr. vanDan an
said he would like the street hot patched and would not want curbing.
Another resident of the area addressed the Council and expressed the feeling th.w�
he thought the street was in bad repair and would favor the improvement.
Mayor Liebl called for a show of hands of those for and against the improvement
and stated that the two sides were evenly matched according to the show of hands.
TAYLOR: 64TH AVENUE TO MISSISSIPPI STREET:
Mayor Liebl explained that this again, would be the same price with the same
assessments and asked if there were any questions.
Mrs. Yvette Miskowic, 6401 Taylor Street, said she lived on the corner of 64th and
Taylor and asked how she would be assessed for the improvement.
A resident of the area asked the cost of the improvement without the curb and only
the blacktop. He said he objected to the curbing and said he did not think it
necessary if there is no sidewalk.
Mayor Lieb7 said if there is no curbing, there would be no improvement of the street.
He called on the Public Works Director to explain this process. Mr. Sobiech
explained that without the curbing; the water would eventually get under the .
edges of the street and wash it away.
I Another resident of the area asked if this would be a gradual or sharp curb. The !
Public Works Director explained this would be according to the State Highway
� Department specifications B-618, and would be a sharper type except in the drive-
i way cut out areas. The resident asked why some areas have the gradual sloping curbs.
; Mr. Sobiech said this is in the areas where the street and curb was installed before
;� the placement of the driveway has been established. He added, this is done to �
i eliminate the need to cut out the driveway opening in the future. I
i �
Mr. Donald L. Menke addressed the Counci7 stating he resided at 701 Bennett Drive ,
� and in 1961 when they blew out the sewer system, the City replaced the portion ;
' of his driveway which was cement with asphalt. Mr. Menke said he had not pushed ,
' that at the time because when the water was put in th9s could be rep7aced in
cement as it originally was. The Public Works Director said he wou]d check into
this and see what had to be done.
�
64TH AVENUE: BAKER AVENUE TO HIGHWAY #65 SERVICE DRIVE: '
Mayor Liebl asked if there were any questions on this portion and there was no response.
NIGHWAY #65 SERVICE ROAD: WEST MOORE LAKE DRIVE TO 64TH AVENUE:
The Assessor said this area would be higher in price or $28.76 a front foot and
$4.07 for the side yard assessments. Mayor Lieb] said this is because only
one side of the street can be assessed.
MADISON STREET: 57TH AVENUE TO HELENE PLACE:
There were no questions concerning this portion of the improvement. -
CAPITAL STREET: HUGHES AVENUE TO MAIN STREET:
Mayor Liebl said this had been deleted at one time from another project.
The Public Works Director said this assessment would be the same as the residential
streets, or $17.16 for the front foot and $3.82 for the side yard assessments.
Mr. Oliver Olson, 5237 Capital Street, addressed the Council and questioned the price
of the improvements and asked how they came up with the price of $17 per foot, and
said he thought this was way out of line. He explained that this type of improvement
is being done in the area of $600 for the amount of feet in this case and questioned
where the $1,100, or additional $500 would come from.
The Public Works Director explained that the estimates were based on the 1974 prices

pro3ect. Mr. Sobiech said the project'would be let to the low bidder.
Mr. Olson said he had a petition to present to the Council in opposition to the
improvement of Capital Street.
Mayor Liebl said it would be in order to receive the petition.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to receive Petition #19-7974 in opposition to the
installation of curbing on Capital Street. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl said the people would not want the improvements installed if the sanitary
sewer is not functioning properly. He also stated there are some prob]ems with the
storm sewer. .
The City Manager said he would appreciate it if the people would ca71 City Ha11 when
they encounter prob7ems. He explained that it was last year that he first heard
there were any problems in this area. He said the next time there is a problem,
the people should place a call.
Mrs. Olson said the drainage is always slow, they would not call for this. She
explained her husband had purchased the equipment to do the cleaning of the drains
and this had just been done the previous Monday. She further added, the water is
not backing up into the house, it is just draining slowly.
Mayor Liebl said if there is not adequate service in the area the Council w�uld not
take action to install the street.
Mr. Nick Garaffa, 6549 Anoka Street N. E., addressed the Council and said with the
high cost of materials such as fc�od, why can't the Council postpone the improvement
of streets for one year to get a clear picture of the facts concerning the economy.
He questioned with the current state of the economy if the people could handle the
additional cost of living and assessments, this may drive the people from their
homes. _
Councilman Breider said he would like to answer Mr. Olson's questions. He said the
Council had previously made the decision that they would not install the street
improvements until the sewer problems in the area are taken care of. He stated the
people indicate that the sewer has not been fixed to this point. He further stated
he could not see the Council taking any action to complete the improvement unti7 this
problem is corrected. He said he for one would not favor the improvement.
The City Manager said the Administration would come up with the appropriate solution
and said he h�ped that the problems could be taken care of. He said after this,
the people would be willing to put in the proper improvements.
70TH WAY: EAST RIVER ROAD TO HICKORY DRIVE:
The Public Works Director said this would be the same amount as the previously •
mentioned residential streets.
Mayor Liebl asked if there were any questions concerning this area and there was
no response.
QUINCY STREET: 57TH AVENUE TO HELENE PLACE: '
Mr. Edward Griffith, 5675 Quincy Street, asked how much his assessment would be
and his question was answered.
6TN STREET: 53RD AVENUE TO 54TH AVENUE:
Mrs. Patricia Ramsey, 5336 6th Street, said she lived next to the church and asked
wh� paid the church's portion of the assessments. Mayor Lieb] said they are assessed
the same as any private party wou7d be, there is not an exception in this case.
F H FROM EAST RIVER ROAD SERVICE DRIVE TO OUTLOT C(GREAT NORTHERN INDU
Mayor Liebl said this portion of the improvement had been petitioned. The Public
Works Director said yes, this had been done by Burlington Northern, the owners
of the property.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 21,
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1975-2 (MSAS):
63RD AVENUE: 7TH STREET TO MONROE STREET:
Mr. Norlan Lee, 644 63rd Avenue said he opposed the improvement.
� The Public Works Director said this portion of the project would be that which is
called State Aid which would mean that the streets would be constructed to meet
certain standards which would make the roadway handle 9 tons of axe7 weight and
� be from 40 to 44 feet wide. He said there would be more base material than in the
normal residential streets. He continued to explain this is done in areas that may
at some time have more traffic, but this does not mean that the streets would
eventually become a thoroughfare, or a trunk highway. He said it just means that
these streets could handle more traffic, but not necessarily would.
Mrs. Miskowic asked if the telephone poles had to be moved, what would their
placement be.
The Pub7ic Works Director said they would be set back if this is the case. He
said he doubted if any would have to be moved back more than three to five feet.
He said he did not think that this would be necessary on any of the residential
streets.
MONROE: 63RD AVENUE TO MISSISSIPPI STREET:
Mayor Liebl asked if there were any questions and there was no response.
ABLE STREET: WEST MOORE LAKE DRIVE TO MISSISSIPPI STREET:
Mayor Liebl said the assessments in this area would be the same, $17.16 for front
yard and $3.82 for the side yard.
Mr. John Foster, 6285 Able Street, addressed the Counci7 and said he felt the same
way about the improvements as expressed earlier by Mr. vanDan, the water has no
trouble draining from the area and the street could be repaired by the use of hot
patches.
57TH AVENUE: 7TH STREET TO QUINCY STREET:
Mr. Jerome Cichosz, 505 57th Avenue, said he had negative feelings about the
improvement and he had talked to 15 other fami7ies and they also had negative
feelings. �
Mr. Kirk Herman, 610 57th Avenue said he favored the improvement.
Mr. Amos Abbott, 675 57th Avenue said he favored the improvement.
Mr. Myllin Miswia, 535 57th Avenue said he favored the project.
Mr. Steve Engstrom, said he was about to move into a house that would be a�ithin the
project and he is for it.
Mr. William Porter, 515 57th Avenue said he favored the improvement and asked what
would happen to the old street in the back portion (small alley type roadway).
The City Manager said the portion that is right of way is already paved to provide
needed access. He said there is no proposal to da anything with the secti�n at
the present time. He said only one half of the right of way has been obtained and
this is m ore like an alley than a roadway.
Mr. Carl Paulson asked why 57th Place had been sidetracked.
Mayor Liebl explained that everyone on the block with the exception of Mr. Paulson
had come to the meeting at that time and opposed the improvement. He said the
people were all at the meeting and objected.
Mayor Liebl asked how many people favored the improvement and six people answered.
gUINCY STREET: 57TH AVENUE TO CARRIE LANE:
A resident of the area questioned the cost and this question was answered.

it was his judgement that two to one favored the project.
Mr. Saba asked if there would be another hearing on this before the contract for the �:
work was let. The City Manager said the work would be done the next year. He �
continued to explain this would be assessed after that time when all of the work j
is done and this may be the next spring. Ne said at the time when the final assess-
ment roll is compiled, there would be another hearing and the people would have the .
same chance to be heard on this as they have at the present meeting. �

right to determine whether or not the project would be done that year.
MOTION by Councilman Breider t� close the hearing. Seconded by Councilman Utter.
Mayor Liebl asked if the estimates for such a project are usually lower or higher.
The City Manager said they are usually 10% to 15% higher than the actual costs. He

happened in the past.

Mayor Lieb] said there are 13 stipulation in the minutes of the Subco►mnittee.
The City Manager said these are the Council's stipulations that had been approved
with the issuance of the special use permit. He said the Administration would
be negotiating with the Hospital for the lease of some property on the southeast
corner of the property.
Mayor Liebl said the City is not buying the land, but only leasing it. The
City Attorney said there are restrictions against selling the land, it must be
leased by the City.
Councilman Breider questioned the City Manager asking if it was his intent to
hold up the building permit until some agreement is reached on the lease of the
property. He said he would want it understood that this was not to be done.
The City Manager said he had talked to Mr. Haines from the Hospital that day
and he had said he felt this could be worked out.
Councilman Breider said he felt this construction was very good for the City
and would work out very well. He sa9d he did not want the building permit to
be held up because of the agreement on the park. He asked if this was understood.
Mayor Liebl said he aareed with Councilman Breider's remarks.
MOTION by Councilman to concur in the request with the 14 stipulations. Seconded
by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, a17 v�ting aye, Mayor Liebl declared
the motion carried unanimously. ,
IDERATION OF A REQUEST TO ALLOW THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MOBILE HOME
C�CTTC. inraTGn nni ruF uIFCTFRIY 399_3 FEET OF THE SOUTHEAST QUART
The Public Works Director said he had reviewed this matter and the stipulations
with the staff. He said it was their opinion with the amount of landscaping and
blacktop that had been done, it would be their recommendation that a performance
bond be provided by the applicant for this work. He said if this work is not
done after a certain amount of time, the City would be able to complete the work
and charge it to the bond. •
Mayor Liebl asked if this could be done with a written agreement rather than
the performance bond. He asked Mr. Michael Rotter if it would be feasible with him.
Mr. Rotter commented he would furnish an agreement in writting.
Counci7man Starwalt asked Mr. Sobiech if he recommended a two year period of time
and Mr. Sobiech said he would like this time to be concurrent with the time allotment
in the stipulations.
Mr. Rotter explained that he would like some action to enable him to begin prepar-
ation for the final agreement on the property. He said this had not been leased
at the present time because he was waiting for approval of the Special Use Permit.
He said he would not begin this winter, he would plan to do this work in the
spring months.
Mayor Liebl expressed the feeling that the Special Use Permit is only effective
for three years and with the stipu7ations, this would be a great expenditure for
this short period of time.
' MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the Special Use Permit with the 13 stipu-
lations as recommended by the Planning Commission and that a signed agreement be
furnished for the completion of the landscaping and blacktopping of the area.
i The City Manager said everyone else in the CIty has been required to furnish
a performance bond, this is a requirement of the City's ordinances. He said it
! would be the Council's prerogative t� waive this requirement in this case.
SECONDED by Councilman Utter.
Councilman Breider asked when the starting date of the usage of the Special
Use Permit would be. He stated if the business would not be operational until
next spring, this would be some wasted time if the permit were granted at the present
�s__

Mr. Rotter answered he would ask for the Special Use Permit to start upon
signing of the lease, he asked if this would be feasible.
The City Manager again expressed the view that the performance bond is required
by ordinance within the City Code zoning requirements.
' The City Attorney said the Council should stipu7ate the amount of the bond.
The City Attorney said this should be in the amount of the blacktopping work.
The Public Works Director said this would be approximately $1,000 to $1,500.
The City Attorney said this would cost the applicant approximately $100 to
$150.

Councilman Nee said he had looked at this area and the group of sites, and
all of them have problems. He said he was not prepared at the current meeting to
recomnend any action. He further pointed out that all of the sites had some
objections from the neighbors, and some of the objections were valid ones. He sited
as an example that on one of the lots the applicant would be able to purchase
another lot and build without a variance. He also pointed out that the lots had
been in a position where the adjoining property owners had wanted to buy them
to increase their own yards.
Councilman Nee said he would like to see the property owner try to sell the lots
to the adjacent property owners and come back after this time. He said he
thought some of the people were interested in this.
� Mr. Bill Erickson, 650 Ely Street, said at the�ime when his home was buiTt, it
had been determined that it was o nly possible o build on a lot 75 feet in
width and his bui7der had to plan accordingly. He voiced opposition to the grant-
, ing of the variances at this time to allow building on a 50 foot lot.
f
Mr. Dennis Barker, representative of North�D1etro Construction, said the people
had a chance to buy the lots for years. He thought they had used these lots
as part of their yards for years, free of charge. :
Mrs. Edward Bishop, 121 Ely Streei N. E., said she had called Mr. Barker last
year and asked if it was possible to purchase the lots and was told no.
The Public Works Director asked if this item is tabled, would this mean that
all five of the requests are tabled.
Councilman Nee said he would like the matter resolved within the neighborhood,
He added, if the neighb�rs would not object, they would be sympathetic to the effort.
Councilman Nee asked if the applicant planned to build this year.
Mr. Barker said they had planned on bui7ding this year.
Councilman Nee suggested this item be brought back in a month or so when the
plans may be resolved. He stated they would talk about this one month from the
present time. .

to enable him to rent it.
The City Manager reca7led that the applicant had requested that this �ructure be
used as an office building and this had been denied. Now, the applicant would like
to rent it.
The City Attorney said there would not be any Council action necessary to allow the
applicant to refurbish the building and rent it, receiving the request at this time
would be sufficient.
CONSIDERATION OF EMPLOYING AUDITOR FOR YEAR 1974:
MOTION by Councilman Utter to employ George M. Hanson Company for the Audit for

Councilman Breider questioned the amount of this type of audit. The Finance Director
listed the various costs for the past several years as: $6,100 in 1963, $6,650
in 1972, and $5,500 in 1973. He explained that the lower price was due to the
fact that the City staff had done a great deal of the preparatory work for the audit.
Mayor Liebl said this Company has done a good job.

would just like a rate increase.
The City Attorney addressed the Council and said he had been asked for an opinion
from Mr. Brunsell on whether or not the CIty was required to obtain bids for this
contract and as far as he sees this matter, he thought this had only been a matter
of policy that bids be received, not a legal requirement. He said he still believed
ihis to be a matter of a poiicy declsion. He said it would be possib)e to negotiate
with a party or receive the bids.
Mayor Liebl asked if it would be possible to negotiate without going out for bids.
He asked if anyone would have an objectian to this.
Councilman Breider expressed the feeling that the bids received are often from firms
across town that would not be able to car�y on this work. He said he would not
object to the negotiations with Shorty's Towing,
MOTION by Councilman Breider to authorize the Administration to negotiate with
, Shorty's Towing for a revised towing co-ntract with increased rates.
The City Atiorney suggested that some of the language in the contract be modified

, waiving the fees. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,

DISCUSSION CONCERMING RATES FOR HOCKEY AS50CIATION PARTICIPATION:
A representative of the Hockey Association addressed the Council and explained that
a rumor got started at the last year's banquet that the traveling team members
would have to pay $100 per person for participation in the program this year. He
proceeded to list the various mounting costs including tha� of the indoor ice
time which was determined to be the utmost in the rate increase. He concluded his
remarks stating, now, the estimate has been reduced to $85, but this is still a
sizeable sum.
Councilman Breider brought up the fact that some of the boys had attended hockey
camp in the summer at additional expense. He questioned how much this had been.
Councilman Utter said it had cost his son $125 to attend the hockey camp.
Councilman Breider remarked that some families have two or three boys who want to
participate and at this price, it is impossible. He suggested the Council make
an effort to obtain contributions from the private enterprises in the area.
The representative said if a family cannot afford to send the boys to participate,
and if the boy is showing promise and can make the traveling team, the Association
will assist in the financial burden. He said they wouid not put a boy out because
of finances. He said the B teams have a much lesser expense which would be in the
$10 range. Councilman Utter asked if the selling of subscriptions to Cable TV would
reduce the cost. The representative said this had been one of the considerations
in the estimated $85.
MOTIQN by Counci]man Breider to check the costs of participation with the D9rector
of Parks and Recreation, Paul Brown, and authorize the Administration to use means
to promote donations to the Hockey Association. Seconded by Councilman Utter.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.

REGULAR COUt�CI,� MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 9, 1974

PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING FRIDLEY'S CITY CHARTER:
AND -
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 29, i974:
The City Manager, Nasim Qureshi, addressed the Council and explained that the Charter
Commission had been organized about a year ago to study the City Charter and come up
with any suggested changes in the City Charter. He said at the present time the
recommendations had been made and if the Council would agree to the changes, they
would be incorporated in the Charter by ordinance.
Councilman Breider asked the City Manager to go over the highlights of the recommended
changes in the City Charter. The City Manager briefly explained the various recommenda-
tions to the Council and audience.
Councilman Nee questioned the recommended wording in Section 11. Ghapter 5. Section
5.19, which is to read as follows if amended: "Section 5.19. CIRCULATION OF PETITIONS.
Any person circulating a petition for the initiation of an ordinance, the initiation
of charter amendments, for a referendum or the recall of an elected official, who
falsely attests to any signature on the petition shall be guilty of an offense and shall
be fined not less that $50." He asked who would be responsible for this type of prose-
cution at ihe present time, Would this be the County Attorney?
The City Attorney advised Councilman Nee that this would be a misdemeanor which would be
enforced by the City Prosecutor in the County Court. He added, in general it was
currently no offense to falsify any affidavit, there were currently no provisions in
the City Ordinances. He said now, the offender would be prosecuted under the State Laws
Councilman Nee questioned Section 1Q. Chapter 5. Section 5.08. INITIAT.IVE BALLOTS,
which wou1d amend this section with the addition, "having at least 55% of the votes cast
on the question shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency." He stated if either
of the ordinances put to the voter did not have the 55% of the votes cast, neither would
pass. The City Attorney said this is his interpretation of the section.
!
Mr. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson Boulevard, asked the Council how the 55% of votes
cast on a conflicting ballot ordinance would help the City. Councilman Breider said
a 55� vote would have to be cast for the ordinance which would pass if there were two
conflicting ordinances presented to the people. Councilman Breider added he could not
envision what the two conflicting ordinances might be. The City Attorney said he did
not think the City has or has had any two confla.cting ordinances to his knowledge.
Mrs. Helen Truenfels, 5248 Horizon Drive, addressed the Council and questioned if the
people present at the public hearing feel there are changes needed in the Charter or
recommendations, would this have any bearing on the recommendations from the Charter
Commission. She specificaily questioned if the Charter Commission recommendations could
change.
Councilman Breider explained that the Charter Commission had made recommendations to the
Council and if the Council would concur with the recorrenendations, the ordinance would be
adopted.without going to the voters. He said if there is a conflict, the changes would
be submitted to the voters.
The City Attorney advised the audience that the only way the changes could be approved
would be if they were recommended by the Charter Corrrnission and concurred with by the
Council. He said there would be two alternatives, the section in conflict could be
deleted and the remainder of the recommendations passed. He said the second alternative
would be to send the recommendations back to the Charter Commission and see if they
agree with the suggestions. He advised the Council that both bodies would have
to agree to:pass the ordinance without going�ito the voters.
Mrs. Truenfels asked if the people wanted a change, could that change go back to the
Charter Commission. Councilman Utter said if there was something the people could
not accept, this could be done. Mrs. Truenfels said now that this had been answered,
she would make her recommendations for changes in the recommendations. She explained
she would suggest a change in the portion of the Charter which dealt with the filling
of vacancies on the Council. She commented that she had asked many people in the City
of Fridley about their opinion on the current method of appointment in the case of
vacancies. She added that she had talked to 200 to 300 people concerning this question.
She pointed out that only two people concurred with the current method of Council
' � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 9, 1974 PAGE 3
I
j appointment to the vacancies. With the current situation with the appointed President
� and Vice President, people feel a strong need to appoint their officials themselves
' i through the elective process. She said the people feel that there should be a special
� election, and she had pointed out to those she had talked to that the cost to the
City for such a special election could range from $3,000 to $10,000.
Mrs. Truenfels went on to the second recori�nendation for change stating this item was
a bit more personal. She referred to the section which prohibits a person who
� circulates or signs a petition from serving as an election judge. She said there are
G some problems with this type of action. Continuing, she explained that those people
' who are active in party work are those involved and the party asks them to serve as
� election judges at the polls. She said if the Charter would read that no one who -:
circulates or signs a petition would not be allowed to serve, this would cut out a
great number of the people in the City of Fridley.
Councilman Breide►° commented that the change in the Charter would be directed to the
Committee who sponsored the petition, not the circulators or signers of the petitions.
Mrs. Shirley Caldwell, 5874 Hackmann Avenue, said she thought there was some confusion.
She felt if there were more restractions on election judges the City would lose many
competent election judges. She said at the present time the restrictions are that they
cannot be related to a eandidate or another election judge in the precinct. She said
she would not want this to be any-more complicated.
Mr. Ole Bjerkesett, 100 N. E. 632 Way, Co-Chairman of the Charter Commission addressed
the Council and said he was sure that he was speaking for the Charter Commission and
understood protecting representative government. He said the Charter Commission had
done what was necessary and had made it as clear as possible. He said it was not the
intention of the Charter Commission to restrict anything or anybody. He stated that
adequate publication was made concerning the meetings of the Charter Commission and
also the appointment of the possible members of the Charter Commission. He said
notification of the meetings was made and anyone who wanted to appear and voice their
opinion was given the opportunity to do so. He said there was a specific night where
the Commission had met with the Council and another when they had met with the admini-
stration. He said there was also an evening where anyone who wanted to see a change
could have appeared. He stated the Cor�nission had done many hours of work on the
recommendations and all of the members had done their homework. He further explained
that they had reviewed what the City had before and developed what they felt was the
best they could. He commented they had done their job to the best of their ability.
Councilman Nee questioned Mr. Bjerkesett concerning the 55% of the votes to pass
conflicting ordinances. Mr. Bjerkesett said this would be if there were two conflicting
ordinances on the books at the same time. He used as an example that if one read the
speed limit should be 15 miles per hour and another read that it should be 20 miles per
hour. He said if there was a conflict in a major provision, the Charter Commission felt
that the ordinance that should prevail should be passed by a 55% simple majority. He
said in this case there would be no confusion between the two. He said in most cases
there would not be a conflict nor.would they be this close, but in one out of ten, there
may be a conflict.
Councilman Nee asked if the present Charter would allow the one that just received the
larger number of votes to prevail and Mr. Bjerkesett said yes. Mr. Bjerkesett said
there could also be the case where there is more than two ordinances presented and the
highest number of votes could be in the area of 35% and at present this ordinance would
pass. Now, he repeated, the higher percentage would pass. He corrmented the Charter
Commission felt that this should be a higher majority and this was the consensus of the
majority of the members of the Charter Commission. He said he personally felt this made
sense.
Mr. Kenneth Sporre, 301 Ironton Street, addressed the Council and recalled the question
of the appointment of a councilman when there is a vacancy in the office. He made the
following suggestion for a recommended amendment: "A Special Election should be held
not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days from the time such vacancy is declared.
The winner of said ele¢tion shall be qualified to take office immediately upon certifi-
cation of the Board of Canvass to fill the unexpired term." Mr. Sporre said he would
rather the Charter read in this manner than the recommendation made by the Charter
Commission.
Mr. Sporre asked if there was some way the Charter Commission can take action on this
recommendation to the Council, or otherwise, there are ways this action is going to be
taken to get the provision changed.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 9, 1974
PAGE 4
Councilman Breider said there are two alternatives, one, to send the recommendation
back to the Charter Gommission for their reconsideration, and secondly, if there is
disagreement, place the question on the ballot. The City Attorney said there is
also a third alternative, to leave the Charter the way it is. Although, this is
unlikely, he added.
Mr. Sporre asked what does it take to get this on the ballot, act or petition?
The City Attorney said he did not fully understand the question. Mr. Sporre responded,
if the Charter Commission does not take action on the recommendation, could the
Council take action.
The City Attorney said the changes would not be incorporated in the Charter by
ordinance without a recommendation from the Charter Commission and Council approval.
He further advised that the Council cannot take action without the recorranendation;
the Council cannot do this unilaterally. �
Mr. Sporre said if the Charter Comnission feels they do not approve of this
recommendation and do not take action to recommend this to the Council, could the
petition be submitted to the Council and appear on the ballot in November. The
F'.nance Uirector responded that as a practical matter this would be very difficult
because of the time limit involved. He questioned if the necessary time limits would
allow the time needed for the printing to be done, etc. He said if done expediently,
this could be done, if needed.
The City Manager said the schedule had been prepared to allow the Council to take
action on the recommendation next Monday, September 16, 1974. He said this would
allow the matter to be put on the ballot if there is not agreement. Mr. Schnei'.der
asked how many of the members of the Council would have to agree with the recommendations.
The City Attorney said this must be a unanimous vote on the part of the Council favoring
the proposed recommendations.
Mr. Sporre said the petition that is being circulated proposing this suggested Charter
change would be submitted the coming Friday, September 13, 1974, and this is why he
had brought this up at the present meeting. He said the City would be forced to act
on this by requirements of the Charter. He asked if the recommendations could be
forwarded to the Charter Commission.
Councilman Breider commented that he did not know how the Council would react to this
question. He said there would be no action taken on this matter at the aurrent meeting
as the policy of the Council has been to hold the public hearing and h�ve some time to
digest the input at the public hearing. He said the action would be taken the following
Monday evening. The City Attorney said it would be possible for the Charter Commission
to have a special meeting. He further advised that if the majority of the Charter
Commission members agree on the recommendation, they could submit the recommendation
to the Council, as some of the recommendati�ns had been submitted at the present time.
The City Manager asked if additional amendments are recommended, would there be a need
for an additional public hearing and publication of new notices to the public. 1'he
City Attorney said he did not feel this would be necessary, the public hearing could
be continued until the next meeting. The City Manager again asked if there would have
to be another publication in the paper with the required number of days natice. The
City Attorney said no, he did not think so, not when there h�d been publication of the
hearing and the hearing would be continued.
Councilman Utter read from the minutes of the Charter Commission that their last yearly
meeting would be on November 19, he asked if there would have to be some formal noti-
fication to the Commission concerning the requested special meeting. Councilman Breider
said as a practicai matter, some of the members are present and they are being notified.
Councilman Breider suggested the administration send the minutes of the current public
hearing to the Chairman and members of the Charter Commission for their reviews.
Councilman Nee directed the Council's attention to the portion of the recommendations
which changes the name of public utilities to franchisee. He said he did not feel this
change is necessary and wanted to know if there was some problem in this current wording.
A Charter Commission member addressed the Council and explained in some cases there is
more than one company that could provide the same service to the City. He said more
than just Northern States Power Company may provide electric service to the City and
more than one company may provide Cable Television. Councilman Nee said he thought
that Franchisee was a different kind of word, and this could mean a franchised chicken
shop. The City Attorney said some may not be a public utility and some may not be a
franchisee. He stated he had no quarrel with the wording public utility and he had no
i
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTfM BER 9, 1974
PAG E 5
quarrel with the word franchisee, as long as the definition was in the scope of what
they are talking about.
Councilman Starwalt questioned why this information had not been brought to the
attention of the Charter Commission at an earlier date than the last minute. Mr. Sporre
explained that he is often out af town and had not know what the recommendations were
until they were printed in the public notices.
' Mr. Dean Caldwetl, 5874 Nackmann Avenue, asked if it is too late to submit a recommenda-
� tion. He questioned the purpose of the pub1ic hearing and said he would like to have
- this squared away. Council:man Breider said the Council was there ta hear what people
had to say. He said this has brought about more dilemma because of what had been
suggested at the public hearing by the people. Councilman Breider said the Council
had submitted suggestions to the Charter Commission and they had not implemented all
of his suggestions. He said he would be surprised if they would implement all of the
people's suqqestions either. Ne stated, the Public Hearing does mean something.
Mr. Caldwell voiced concern over the statement in the recommendations that the fine
would be $50 if someone falsely testified to a signature. He s�id this type of
statement would make people think twice about circulating a petition. The City Attorney
advTSed the Council that the circulator is only attesting to the fact that the person
had signed the petition in their presence. Mrs. Caldwell asked the purpose of the new
law. She asked if there was a law on the State books, why would this be necessary. 7he
City Attorney answered that the laws are not identical to his recollection. He said
he did not know if this would be a misdemeanor or a gross misdemeanor. He said the
fine would not be mare than $300 and nQt more than 90 days. He said the recommendation
5ays this would not be more than $50, and the wording is somewhat different.
Mrs. Caldwell asked why it would be good for the welfare of the City of Fridley. Council-
man Breider answer he thought it would be much easier to determine his responsibilities
in circulating a petition in one document than researching the State Statutes. He said
it would be clearer to find the 1Tabilities as a circulator of a petition.
Mr. Bjerkesett recalled when the Cable Television petition had been circulated, some of
' the signatures solicited had been falsely sworn to as signatures. He said if people
are ignorant of the law, this does not make them innocent of violating the law. He
said in this case it would make the people aware of the law and this is the purpose of
this provision and this would be lower than a misdemeanor. He said this would insure
that the people who are circulating the petition would be informed of the law.
Mr. Dennis Schneider asked what falsely attested meant. He asked what would be the
situation Tf someone would see a person sign a name and the name was false. The City
Attorney said he would have to do a little research to answer the question. Mr. Sporre
further questioned what if the signer said he is a registered voter and he is not. The
City Attorney said the City Clerk would have to do a little research to answer the
question. Mr. Sporre further questioned what if the signer said he is a registered
voter and he is not. The City Attorney said the City Clerk would have to check the
signatures and if he is not registered the signature would not count.
Councilman Utter asked how this would work if a husband would sign �For a wife. The City
Attarney said under the present charter if a man named Joe Doe signed a petition and
his name was really John Smith, there would be no violation. He stated the circulator
is not attesting to the fact that this is the genuine signature of the person; he is
attesting to what he proports to be.
Councilman Nee said he had a certain amount of experience with these things, and after
four or five, the sponsoring committee does instruct the people circulating so they do
not go astray. He recalled he had obtained a spouse's signature at one time.that he
felt would be a valid signature. Ne went on to explain the man was suffering from
afithritis and was not able to sign the form and asked his wife in Councilman Nee's �
presence to sign the form for him. He said there was also a case where a husband and
wife circulated a petition together and this would not be valid.
Mr. Bjerkesett said the City should prepare an instruction sheet which should be given
to each circulator of petitions. He said the instruction could be drawn up according
to the Charter by the City Attorney.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to continue the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman Utter.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Councilman Breider declared the motion carried
unanimously and continued the public hearing at 9:18 �.M.

Councilman Utter asked the City Manager to contact the members of the Charter
Co►rmission so they may look into the items discussed at the Public Hearing. He asked
if this matter could be taken care of by the following Monday evening.
Councilman 8reider directed the City Manager to send the minates of the current
Public Hearing to the members of the Charter Commission and suggest that they be
called back to order for a special meeting on the recomnendations.
PUBLIC HEARING ON BUDGET FOR ]975:
Councilman Breider called on the City Manager to make a presentatiorr concerning the
budget proposal.
The Cit,y Manager outlined the proposal saying -it is $200,000 below the maximum a]lowable
mill levy limitaiion. The proposed budget versus the budget with the programs in operation
in 1974 is 9,8% higher than 1974. He continued, with the additiona� programs one of
which is the tree disease program and the nature interpretive program the budget is 12.3q
higher ihan 1974. He added, there are no additional personnel provided.
The City Manager explained that there had been a number of ineetings w9th the various
department heads and after mutally reducing the request this amounted to a reduction of
$372,466. He said the original requesi within the general fund was $3,256,414 and had
been reduced to $2,833,948.
The City Manager advised the Counci] that the mill levy requirements had to be submitted
to the County by Ociober 9, and this would be four weeks.
Councilman Breider suggested the Council have a meeting on a Saturday which would be an
open meeting to discuss the budget. Councilman Breider suggested Saturday, September 21.
in the afternoon.
Councilman Utter suggested they set up three tentative times. Councilman Nee said the
people should be notified about the meeting and he questioned if the date could be set
at the current tneeting. Councilman Utter said with the absence of Mayor Lieb1, the
other members of the Council would not be able to speak for him an this proposed
meeting date.
The Finance Director advised the Council that the Public Nearing shou]d be continued
rather than closed.
The City Manager suggested the Public Hearing be continued untii the coming Monday evening
when the full Council would be present to set the meeting date.

RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF 7HE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 21, 1974:
EST FOR A LOT SPLIT, L. 5. #74-15, RUBY M. ANDERSON: SPLIT
LY
Councilman Breider called on the Public Works Director to exp]ain the matter to the
Council.
The Public Works Director, Mr. Richard Sobiech, said the Planning Commission had
recommended approval of the requesi noting there shouid be a 20 foot utility
easement provided either on the west or east portion of the lots to furnish the
lots with utilities from 69th Avenue. He said the property owner had requested
that this easement be on the east side to avoid the trees on the west side of the
property.
Councilman Starwalt asked the Public Works Director if there was any preference to the
lcoation of the easement fram the engineering standpoint. The Pub7ic Works Director
said there is no preference.
The City Manager recalled that sometime in the past the City had studied this area
and the plan at that time was to provide right of way on the sQUth side of the
properties in this area for access to the back of the lots. He further explained
that all of the lots in this area are of double size and could be split in the
future and there would be a need for access to the southerly lots if they are split.
Mr. Blaine Edmundson addressed the Council and said he represented the applicant
Mrs. Ruby M. Anderson. Mr. Edmundson said from the discussion of previous years,
concerning the splitting of the proper�y on 69th Avenue, it had been determined that
this would not be feasible because the present homes are set back so far. He further
commented that the concensus of the area people is that they wou]d never want to split
the lots.
Mr. Edmundson said the applicant would rather see the easement for the utilities
on the east side of the lots because there is an existing utility pole in this
area and there are many mature trees on the west side.
Councilman Starwa1t asked if there was a hope of developing the property soon.
Mr. Edmundson said the property owner had had a purchase agreement with the buyer
since June and would like to have this matter settled. He said he did not be7ieve
if the lots were split that the property would be developed unti7 the spring.
Councilman Breider said he believed that this would be a bad place to gain access
to Central Avenue because of the traffic in the area.
Councilman Starwalt said he thought the people of the area may change their minds
concerning the splitting of the lots in the area and he would not like to take
action that would box these people in in this case. The City Attorney asked if it
would be feasible to gain ac�ess to the southerly p�rtion of these lots, He asked
if the access could be from the east side where there is a street rather than
anto Old Central.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 9, 1974 PAGE 8
Councilman Utter said this would be from Sievert Lane,
The City Manager said his recommendation would be that the Counci7 go ahead and approve
the lot sp]it unless Councilman Starwa7t would want additional information.
Coancilman Starwalt asked if it would be possible to installa cul-de-sac on the
easterly portion of these lots and gain access from Sievert Lane. The Public Works
Director said access from Sievert �ane wou)d allow for the installation of a cul-de-
sac in this area rather than directing the street to Old Central where the traffic
is difficult.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the lot split with the stipulation that
a uti7ity easement 20 feet in width be provided on the east side of the 7ots and
stipuiating that a turn around be provided for these�properties when developed so
there would not be any backing onto 01d Central by the future property owners.
Seconded by Councilman Nee. Upon a voice vote, ali voting aye, Gouncilman Breider
declared the motion carried unanimously.
VACATION REQUEST, SAV #74-03, BY JAMES LUND: VACATE THE WESTERLY 50 FEET FOR PUBLIC
ET
7he Public Works Director explained that this easement would have been necessary
for the original plan for the permanent streets in the area, but this was no longer
required because there was a new street plari which is a better plan. He stated this
easement would not be needed.
The City Manager said there would be no action needed on this matter at the present
meeting since the Council had the public hearing at this meeting and the action would
be taken the following Monday evening.
Counciiman Nee referred to the minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting r,eferring
to some action on kennels in the City. He explained that there should be some
definition in the Code. Ne stated current7y the code defines a kennel and they
ignore it. He said there is a situation in his ward where dogs are being raised
and the yard is fuli of them and there should be sflme provisions for the neighbors
of this property.
The City Manager said this feeling should be passed onto the Planning Commission.
The City Manager referred the Council's attention to item number five where a
suggestion is made for a joint meeting af the Planning Commission and the City
Council. The Council discussed various iimes and meeting dates that would make it
possible for everyone to be in attendance.
Councilman Utter finally suggested the meeting be set for Tuesday, September 17,
and the Council concensus was to ask the Planning Commission if this would be
feasible.
MOTION by Councilman Utter to receive the minutes of the Planning Cor�nission
meeting of August 21, 1974. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Councilman Breider declared the motion carried. �

OF: SECTION 214.053, 2, FRIDLEY SIGN ORDINANGE TO IN
�E STANDIPaG SIGN IN A C-2s zoNTrar niSTRrrT FRnM inn cn
---, .,.
The Public Works Director explained that tl-ie Board of Appeals was concerned about the
message center portion of the sign and the blinking type of lights. He added, this
may cause a traffic problem in this area. Mr. Sobiech said the Board had recommended
denial of the request to increase the square footage of the sign from 100 square feet
to 200 square feet based on the rnessage center, but recommended approval of the
portion of the request for the increase in height of the sign from 25 feet to 40
feet. Mr. Sobiech said this wou7d be an additional four feet over the sign that
is currently standing.
Mr, Leon Ryan, Attorney from St. Paul, addressed ihe Council and said he was
representing Menard's Lumber. Mr, Ryan presented a colored drawing of the proposed
sign to the Council and stated he be7ieved the proposed sign to be more attractive
than the sign from the previous business on the premisis. He explained that the
Spartan store had been empty for some years and they planned to occupy this area.
Mr. Ryan continued to explain that the Menards's Lumber people planned to begin
business at the location on November 1, 1974. He further ex plained th� the
sign had been contracted to be instafiled on September 15th.
Mr. Ryan pointed out td the Counci7 that the proposed sign is not a blinking sign,
it is a changing sign. He said the applicant had gone before the Board of Appeals
with three requests and the first,allowing the height from 25 feet to 40 feet,
did not seem to be a problem. He said this proposed sign would use the same standards
as the old S�artan sign. He said another request was that the sign be increased
� from 100 square feet to 200 square feet and this had been recommended to be denied
because of the concern about the illuminated sign. He said the reason this had
been brought before the Counci7 was because when the current ordinance was taken
from ihe State ordinances, this type of sign was nat developed and therefore would
not apply to the ordinunces. He continued with the background information and
� history of this type of sign.
Mr. Ralph Carpenter, District Sales Manager for American Sign Indicator Corporation,
addressed the Counci] and said the size requirement had been changed to 35.6 feet
or the same height as the existing sign. He passed out samples of the type of
message that would be placed on the prapased sign and gave examples of this type
of inessage on a console display. Mr. Carpenter proceeded to show a film presentation
to the Council.
Councilman Utter said there are traffic prabltms in this area and especia7ly around
4:00 P.M, and 5:00 P.M., there is a considerable amount of traffic in this area.
Mr. Ryan said the same type of sign is being used on Highway #494 by North
Central Airlines, He added this would be by Thunderbird Motel north of the highway.
Councilman Utter said there are no stop signs in this area on the south side of
town. He indicated it would be possible for the people on Central Avenue to be
looking at the message center and have the stop sign change and cause an accident.
Councilman Utter asked how the Highway Department felt about this proposal.
CounciTman Starwalt asked the representatives present how they would feel about
approval of the sign if the message would not be changed more than one time a day.
Ne asked what their clients position would be in this case.
Mr. Ryan said he did not believe Menards's would buy the sign if this was to be
stipulated.
The City Manager said if the Council would like to further consider this matter,
this would be possible, this should not be done lightly. He said in traveling
through the area suburbs, there are no signs visible from the highway going
through Brooklyn Center and Fridley has a substantial amount of signs, He said
he would not object to a message if this message would stay the same and not
change, He said this would have a great impact and t4�is should be studied.

PAGE 10
7he City Manager said there should be more study on this matter before a decision
is made. He said it would be possib]e to approve the top portion of the sign and
not the message center portion af the sign. He stated 80,000 vehic7es go through
this area.
Mr. Ryan asked if it would be meaningful for the Gouncil to receive letters from
the various communities statiny the signs such as ihis have not caused any hazards
in their areas.
Councilman Utter said he did not think any other area could compare with this in
that this area has severe traffic probiems.
Mr. Ryan said the Company has picked this parcel of property because of the amount
of traffic in_the area.
Councilman Starwalt said if the sign would not chanye, he could live with the sign.
Ne corranented that if the app7icani would feel that the whole sign be approved
including the message center, he would have to disapprove.
h1r. Ryan said this product was not on �he market when the ordinance was drawn.
The City Manager said this iype of sign was in existance when Fridiey adopted
their ordinance.
Councilman Utter asked if the top portion of the sign would be within the City
Code. Ne asked if the height would be the only problem.
The Public Works Director said the onTy problem would be in the height of the
sign, it is over the 25 feet maximum height.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the sign for 36 feet or the requested
35 feet eight inches, but �vith no flaslmg message center, the message would be
solid and not change more than once a day and that the square footage of the
sign be approved from 100 square fEet to 147 square feet. Seconded by Council-
man Utter. Upon a voice vote, a71 voting aye, Councilman Breider declared the
motion carried.

CONSIDERATION OF LEGAL OPTI
STREET T RAICROAD CROSSING
ION AGAINST RAILROAD FOR BLOCKING MISSIS
Councilman Nee said the situation at the Mississippi Street crossing had again become
incredibly bad. He recalled that the cars were on occasion lined up 100 feet back
from the crossing and when the gate did not open after the exit of the train, the
people were circumventing the gate. Another occasion he realled was when the people
had waited for ten minutes ta'get across the section and before they had done this,
another train blocked the roadway again.
Councilman Nee sa�d he thought it was time that the City get the facts on this type
of activity in this area, and find some low priced help to monitor the crossing.
The City Manager said if the Council so desired, he would have the crossing monitored
and take this informatian to the proper agency for action.
Councilman Breider questioned if this type of monitoring would be a problem. The
City hlanager said this type of activity takes money, but it could be done if this
is the consensus of the Counci7.
The City Attorney suggested that the City Manager and himself ineet with Carl Newquist
Prosecutor, concerning this matter. He pointed out that Mr. Newquist had worked on

a case against the railroad on a simi7ar matter. He also suggested going to the Public
Service Commission, putting some pressure on them. The City Attorney questioned when
the underpass would be completed.
The City Manager said this is coming, but he felt it would take two years to complete.
The City Manager continued to state that the situation would be getting worse before
it gets any better because of the coming improvement.

, The Finance Director said the natter had been brought back for Council attention because

As you know, I have received a letter dated September 25, 1974, from
' four citizens of the City of Fridley requesting an op�nion as to the legality
of a joint meeting between the City Council, and Planning Comm7ssion held
September 18, 1974. These citizens raised the questian as ta whether this
' meeting violated the provision of Minnesota Statute� Ch. 471, regarding
"Open Meetings."
' Following the receipt of this letter, I also rece�ved a copy of a letter
dated October 15, 1974 from the same four citizens addressed to the Anoka
County Attorney. In this letter, they questioned the legality af the above
referred to meeting. I believe, that their request ta the County Attorney is
' reasonabie and would hope ihat he will make a thoroughly and impartial invest-
igation of the complaint,
'
1
In view of the fact, that this matter has been referred to the Caunty
Attorney, I believe that it would be premature and inappropriate for me to
render a legal opinion on this question at this time. I say this because
I sincerely doubt that the citizens requesting the opinion would be satisfied
that the opinion of the City Attorney is impartial, and disinterested.

that i.s «hat he is presenting tonight.
Mr. Clar}: continued, that there a.re jv.st a couple of differEnces
� on this plat fr_om the first time i�L was presented. On the first pla�,
the cuJ.-de-sac on Gls� e�i�ended �urther to the West, and the lots

the lots i�li�t ai-� sel°v�d by the cul-de-sac at the end of Rice Creek
Driv�, and �aith that cul-de-sac a1_so. They �a�re concerned that ��e

Planninq Commission Meetinq - September 11, J_974 Page 3
Dsr. O'13annon, who was in the audience, said he•was not satisfied
with ihe location of this road. It seems to have been moved North.
IIe said lie woul.d lose a lot from his p? at �aith the road in L-his
locati_on. It would leave him �aith a lot of about: 18, OOO . s.quare feet,
whictl would have to be one lot, because he couid not get the minimum
width of 75 ��et for the two lots even though they would meet the
square footage requirements for two lo�s.
M.r. Dro��ps slid this road was supposed to fit into an a11-over
plan for this area. D4r.. IIarris said that was his understanding of
the placement of this x'oad also.
Mr. O' Iiana�on saici �tha�. if this road could be swung South a little
bit, �he could get hi_s two 1ots. I-1e sha�l-ed the Commission a copy of
his pr_opos�cl Heathc�r IIzl.ls Thi.rd Addii�ion so t11ey could see the probl�m
h� would Izave if this road stayed as its present location. I�Zr. fiarris
said the ro�zd and hir. O' F�annor�.` s plat �aere off about 20 feet. Mr.
O'F3annon said h� would end up �ai�h a lot, 130' x 140' which would be
too narrow to malc� into t��o lots.
� Mr. Clark said that if ��r. Drapps would bend the street sev�n feet
towards the back of Lot l, Block 4r and Mr. O'Bannon �•�ould bend the
street: about seven feet on his pla�, this would give then both their
� lots, that woul.d still meet the �rant foatage requirements. Both
paLties agreed. I�,S.r. Harris said that could be made one of the stipu-
lations of_ the approval of this plat.

Chairman 1 ii:zpatri_c}: said -L-h�t most of the people in the audicnce
for i:his plat seemed to be the people from Fe.rndale �-Tho wer� concerned
about 61st Avenue. Those people were sho�vn a copy of the plat, and
wer_e satisfied th�t 61�t Pvenu.e t-aas not� gaing to ue. extended.
Mr. Ha.rris askecl t�7r. nr_opps if th�re had been any negotiations
between the TI�Eitmann s and IZ11�lS('_Lf S1210E'. the las� meeting? Mr. Uropps
said he hadn`t tal.ked to the T}ieilmanns at a11 since the last meeti_ng.
H� said 2li.s thoug,zt , were that lle get all i�he other proUlems workeci out
on thi.s plaf� first. �t �Ll�e last meei�ii�g t�here was discussian Uy hir<<se]_L
ab:�ut corning to an aqreement an �Lhe sc�uar_e �oatage valuation of the
proPerty aizd tllat, hc� would work wit}z tlie T1�eilmann's o�z that basis.
IIe thought that ���hat the City had uscd for_ a squar.e footage valuation
on �he propc�ri�y tl;ey purchzsed j=or the adc�itional parY land would be
a good iigizre t.o start iiegotia�ioris witli. He said i�hey J_Gft a 15 foot
stri� th� 'I'heilm�nii' s n�ed to plat their property, and he necds tlze
corner of_ I3riardale Road, and once the squ�.�re foot�age valuation had
becil w�or):ed out, hc di.dri' i� think tilis should be too dii�icult to nego-
tiat�.
Mr. tiarris as)ced what 1:i.nd of retaining walls they would be US1l1C�
to mainta�.n this three to one slope. Mr. Dropps saic� he couldn't say
becZUSC t.}1C to��ography map with thc elevations was c�e3:ivered to tizc
Cit}� 3T��11 aiid thi:� wa � t}�� firsi� time he l���zd seen it. Mr. Clark s��id
there wcrel3 verti.caJ. � Lect io ma}:c up, and tliis could be worlccd out
wii.h a comb:inai.ion af t.erraces and retaining walls. Mr. Dropps said
thc e�lqinc�er h�.�d pi:cked tlle �aorCt SPO�: 011 the p1�iL- to work on. A1r. Cl��r}
said i:his was correct. Mr. llropps said the ma�;imum wou].d be 13 �eet

� and thi� would ta�er down to 6 feet. Mr. Dropps said that what.ever
was neccss��r_ y to do on tr�ese lots, }le would do, as far �s the retaining
tialls wc�r_e concE�rned. Iic thought the probZ�m was most ly oi� Lo� Ls 3 an d
� 4, Block 4, and hG thought tliat both aestheti.cally and for safety it
would probably be better to have so;ne teriacing on these lots instead
o£ all retaininc� walls. � �
�� Mr. C7_ark sai.d there are some i�r.ees on �.his plat, on both the
West and South bc�undar��, that �aill have to come out to develop this
plat. There �ti=on' t i�e any trees le.ft. He said he thought the memb��i-s
� af the ConL�lission and the people in the audience should be awar� of
i:his .
� 'Mr. I1arr9_s asked P•�r. Dropps if he was sti11 planning on having
underqround utilities G��ith this $2 a moritlz ch�r.ge for life. I�ir.
DropPs sai_c?. he did, a�zd he thouc;lzt he liad r�eeived a letter from thc
, . po�,Jer company sayirig tl��y were no longer making this charge. It would
be a ane time charge to the devel.aper, but he �-�ould ch�ck an this again.

#79-04, bt) Hc:nr� Mvliici�• Upon a voice vote, aIl voting aye, the motioi�
c�x��ied un��nimous.l.�. .
T7r. C1ark said that about half o� 331ock 4 is zoned R-1 and
� R-3. On the port.ion of tlzis block thai: �.s zo,led M-1, there are
single f_amily homcs on �he occupicd lots.
Mr. Muhich said he
in this b]_oc}c, and with
Langfellow Street, �h�y
zoned to R-1.
hacl contacted all the owners oi the property
the exc�ptio.z of P�ir . Leonard Benson, 154
���re a11 in favor of thQir property being r�-
Mr. Benson said the reason he objected �a this rezoning was
becat�se he has �l:o l�ak at in�ustrial c�evelogment across the street
so �ic didn't mind havi�zg industrial de��elo�ment next door. As hi.s
qa.rac�� was �.n the M--1 zoiiing, arid as he was in the const.ruction business,
he tlzought tlzat at some tim�, hc �aould �ike to ha.ve a cabinet shop i:,
his c�arage, which h� coulc�n` i� do if hi.s property was rezoned to P.-1.
Mr_ . Hari i.s said. that h� knew I�ir_-. I�iuhich had don� a lot of work
on t:hi. � request, but as this involvc:d a lot af_ property owners, he
woulcl li):e to see a petiLion f�:om thes� otiler own�rs asking for this
zal�ir�g chanqe, be�ore the Planning Commissi_on made any reconu�nendatici�
on t11is rec�u�st.
Chai7:man I'if_zpatrick said it had usuala_y been tYie policy of the
Planninc� Ccmrnisaion not to make a decisi�on on a rezoning requ�st wnen
they �acrc� iwo mcntbers sh�ri, as they were at this ineeting.
Mr. Muhich sa�.d he was certain he coul_d get everyone's signature
on a peti_l.i_on favaring this request wittl ille exceptiori of Mr. F3en�o�i.
M�:. I3enson askecl a.f l�e could get; up a petition against this rezonin��?
Chairman I'i t•r.pa�r. ic}: said that anyone can bring in a pctition on any
proposal, for ar againsi:.
Mr.. IIarris saic� the reason }zc woul.d like to see a petition from

Mr. Kramer said the building is to be construc�ed using matching brick
similax ta the adjacent hospital. The building construction iaill not dis-
turb wooded areas near the hospital. The building has been moved 15 feet
hack as requested at the last meeting eliminating the need for special per-
mi.ts .

ing lot and in front of the building, with a row of dogtivood bushes along the

stated there �vould be a joint parking lot for the hospital and the clinac.
Mr. Kramer added that a new department had been added called Occupational
Therapy and that there maybe a need for additional parking in the future.
Room has been provided in case this happens.
blr. Boardman asked a question on proper drainage of the parking lot,
and if in the iuture additional piping is needed to control storm drainage
they tivill take t}ie appropriate measures. PIr. Boardman proposed they work
with the Engineering Department in order to set parki�lg lot grades for the proper
future storm water control.
bir. Boardman raised the c�uestion on disposal of refuse. P1r. Kramer pointed
out on hi.s site plan the location of the refuse disposal area, and stated that
it would meeti the cli.nic's disposal needs. All garbage will be stored inside

as a perman�nt structure.
Mr. Iiarris said he understood that sewer and water were already
available on this property. Mr. Drigans asked if this office was
in the same location where American Auto Listings had theirs. Mr.
Rotter said no, it woul.d have to be extended over to his office
location. �
Mr. Rotter said he will have seven mobile lzomes on the site.
He planned to have them eight feet apart, but has room to make them
10 feet a�ar_t, if necessary. He said the office �vill be 24' x 36'.
Everythinq within the dotted line �ill be blacktopped. He said
he would have crushed rocJc under the trailers, because they damaqe
blacktop if they are stored on it. He said they have a tendency to
sink, so this is why crushed rock is used.
AZr. Drigans asked Mr. Rotter what kind of arrangements he had
made Wlt�l�'t11@ property owner, �aould this be a lease or would he be
buying the property? Nr. Rotter said he thought it would be a leaee•
with option to buy, but they haven't even discussed the lease as �
He wanted to wait and see if this Special Use Permii would be approved,
and what stipulations would be put an it.

a lease would he be looking for. A�r. Rottei said he thought for

were bad months for this business, fram experience.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Rotter if he had a copy of the agreement

Planning Commission Meetinq - September 25, 1974 Page 9
Mr. Drigans asked N`r. Clark what mei�hod the City used to check
OLlt. stipu7.a�ions to see that they are complied with. Mr. LimdUlad
said there was uscxal�.y a performance bond requested to insure that
every thiiiq tilould be done. Mr. Drigans said that answered his question.
3. DISCUSSION
Mr. Driqans said he had a couple of tliings he wanted to bring
up at this meeting. f
One was tlzat he would like the Planning Conunission to receive
a copy of the Iirmory r��ort and the letter from the 1�merican Legion
that was mE,ntioned in �he Council 1�qenda. Mr. Clarlc said he would
see that the Planning Commission got copies of this.
The other thing r�r�.�. �Dr.igaris wanted was to check and see if the
Planning Commission could have a tour of General Televisi.on. He
said they had me��tioned this at a meetinq some time ago, and would
like to kno�v how the Planning Commission and other governmental bodies
could use this medium. Nr. Clark said he would try and arrange this
tour . � ^ E' .
Nr. Harris said he didn't }cnow if if had become a problem in
Fridley, but he has noted in other communities, that there is a
problern with some of this screening of refuse containers. He said
the idea is fine, but a lot of the time there isn't room for the
garbage trucks to get in and pick up the refuse, and the screening
is subsequently damaged and loolis worse that what they are �rying tp
screen.
Mr. Clark said that ox�e of the problems they have is that the
code. 5ays the refuse area has to be screened from public view. tiVhat
is the public vieoV? One case in paint is the back o� of the�stores
in Moon P1aza. Th�y all hav� storage at the back of thei.r bui1d1T1CiS,
but the public can dri_ve back ther� i�oo. The solution u�ould be to
ha�Te a sc-rcc�ning fe�-�ce al�. along the back o� the bui_lding, but they
don't. �-laETc too much room bacl; there now.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said. he agree� �aith Mr. Harris that h� had seen
some scrc:ening that looked worse than �,�hat-thcy were trying to screen.
Ni�', Harr_is said t1-zc ��ay these retuse truc�cs ���ork, you al�«vs�. nave
ta leave one section oPen, so you on7_y have screening on th�'ee s �cic�s.
The scct�ic�n left open would usually be on the a7_ley or street side,
so he reall�� couldn't see what was being accomplished. Mr. Lindb]_ad
said that i� was a pr_ablem, but he iiiought scr�ening was a bet�Ler
solu�ion than leaving these areas completely open.
Mr. Harris said he just wanted to bring �Lhis�to �he attention of
the Planning Commission. �

Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Mattsan if the greenhouse must comply with the
frost footing requirement in the Code. Mr. Mattson said that it would have to
comply as it was being attached to the dwelling.
Mr. Crowder questioned the distance between structures. It was determined that
there is 29 feet now, that will be reduced to 19 feet with the addition of the
qreenhouse. .

7880 RANCFIERS ROAD N.E., FRIDLEY, MIPdNESOTA. (REQUEST BY MICH�IEL BIZAL, 5000
FILL1�lOR.E STREET N.E. , MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESUI'A — G.RAiiAM TESTERS, INC. )
Mr. Michael J. Lizal, Vice Presi.dent of Graham. Testers, Inc., was present to
present the request. •
MOTION by Crowder, seconaed by Gabe�, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
t3pon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. •
A plot plan for the property was shown to the Soard. Mr. Bizal said the
property was developed as shown on the plan, except for the area.in question.
He said this area was supposed to have an island between the loadinq area and
the employee parking area. He said they wanted it�completely paved kaecause:
1. Snow removal; more room to push snow and maneuver the plow. 2. Use as
holdi.ng area; sometimes there is more than one truck delivering and the island
remnval would create a holding place for the second truck. 3. Better appearance;
some of the trucks back in to unload and back.ing over curbing will crack it.
He added it will look better to have it all b1acY.topped rather tk�an have cracked
curbing. .
Chairman Drigans asked if the plot plan showing the island was approved by
Building Standards and Council. Mr. Mattson said this area caas approved to be
all green area and then apparently during discussions with City staff, the
green area was changed to be just an island. '
� The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of October 15, 1974 ��
Mr. Bizal stated they want plenty of room to ge� around as they have had problems
��, , in the winter at their otner location. He added that the Fridley High 5chool is
doing their landscaping as a school project.
� Mr. Crowder questioned the parking. Mr. Bizal said they have approximately 20
employees and they have 40 plus stalls so the parking is adequate. He added it
was designed with the future in mind.
Chairman Drigans asked what the hardship was in this,case. Mr. Bizal said if you
have to pile snow in this area, you will be losing room and that is a hardship and
they would like this area for a holding area.
Chairman Drigans asked if they have done anything to this area yet. Mr. Biza�
said when they had the parking area blacktopped, they had the green area blacktopped
also.
Chairman Drigans asked if they knew a variance was required before they were
allowed to blacktop�the green area. Mr. Bizal said they were aware they needed a
variance, but they thou9ht it would be more ec�nomical to blacktop it with the
parking lot, on the hope that the variance would be approvedo
Chairman Drigans noted that when the plot plan went through Building Standards and
Council, the area in question was all green area. Then Graham Testers came back
with a proposal for just an island and the rest bl�cktop. Now they are going one
step fur�her to eliminate the island and blacktop the whole thing.
Mr. Mattson said he dro�e by this building and they had created quite a
presentable building.
Mr. Crowder asked what is between the building and the paved area. Mr. Bizal said
there is crushed decorative rock with curbing.
Chairman Drigans asked how vaide the boulevard is, that wi11 be blacktopped. Mr.
Mattson said that he didn`t know exactly, but he thought it was about an 8 foot
boulevard.
Chairman Drigans asked how many parking stal�s were created by blacktopping the
green area and rem.oving the island. Mr, Bizal said 4 stalls were added plus one
space for truck stopping.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nay:>, the motion carried.
Chairman Drigans stated that he felt that even though the petitioner has already
indicated the blacktopping has been completed, the Board should base their
decision on the merits of the hardships stated.
Mrs. Gabel said as much as she would like to see the green area retained, she
would still like the trucks off the street.
Mr. Plemel said he couldn't go along with the hardship for snow removal. He felt
it was not the Boards�duty to coordinate this with the City staff but you can't
ignore that the work is already done, i�e felt there should be some way to prevent
this in the fu�ure. He felt this is a nice building, and the variance is a minor
matter.
Mr. Crowder said he basically agreed. He felt the petitioner is entirely at
fault, deciding on his own to eliminate the green area.
7C
� The r]inutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of October 15, 1974
Chairman Drigans stated he felt the snow renoval hardship was stretching it quite
1 far, He said if the request was granted strictly for the reason of snow removal,
the Board would be deluged by requests to blacktop as it is so easy to mainta�n.
He said the holding area is a good reason. He said the blacktopping was done by
the petitioner on his own, knowing he was in violation. He said he was concerned
, with this area as he didn't know how anythinq big could be maintained here. He
said it does identify a division between the loading area and the employee entrance.
He said a real hardship has not been established in his mind.

Mr. Bizal said the only reason they went ahead with this, without approval, was
the economic standpoint.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Crowder, to recommend to the City Council, approval
of the two requests because of the economic factor� Upon a voice vote, Gabel
abstaining, the motion carried.
3. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205.053, 1B, FRIDI�EY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE
MINIMUP4 LOT AREA REQUIRED, ON A PLA� RECOR.DED BEFORE DECEMBER 29, 1955, FROM 7500
SQUARE FEET TO 5500 SQUARE FEET, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRiICTION OF A DWELLING ON LOTS

FRIDLEY, b1INNESOTA. (REOUEST BY NORZ'H METRO CONSTRUCTION, INC., 5203 CENTRAL AVENUE
N.F.., MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Dennis Barker was present to present the request.
MOTION by PlemeJ_, seconded by Gabel, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. Barker explained they plan to build a 864 square foot split eritry dwelling
on this lot. There will be no garage and it wil� meet all the setback requirements.
Chairman Drigans asked if the Code didn't require a garage to be built. Mr.
Mattson explained a garage is only required on lots with 9,000 square feet or more.
On smaller lots, one off-street parking stall must be prQVided. Mr. Barker said they
will be installing a 10 foot wide blacktop driveway.
Mr. Frank SteEn, 52]. Fairmont Str.eet N.E., and Mr. John Witscher, 537 Fairmont
Street N.E., were present to voice their objections to the var.iance.
Mr. Crowder asked if there was a buyer for this home. Mr. Barker said they have
several buyers for their homes, they just don't know where they will put them yet.
Mr. Witscher stated they have split entry homes behind them that are so large '
there is no back yard. He said if the people have children, there will be no
place for them to play but in the street. � .
Mr. Crowder said the applicant can build as big a house as the Code will allow
and the Board has no say about it. The only thing the Board can act on is the
variance on lot area.
Mr. Barker said this house will have a 55 foot back yard using the average front
yard setback, which is as big as new developments.
Mr. Steen said he felt the houses are getting too close together in this area and
the Codes shou�d be complied with. Mr. VJitscher said they had tried to buy the
lots, but they were outbid by Idorth Metro Construction.
Pa � �
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of October 15, 1974
Chairman Drigans said they have to understand the developers intent to use the
lot and develop it. He said there are quite a few of these sized l.ots in
Fridley that were platted before 1955 and need only 7500 square teet of lot area.
Mr. Steen said they bought the land knowing that they needed to change the Code
to build on it.
Chairman Drigans said its not that they are changing the Code, it is letting the
City control the type of construction on this size lot, He added some lots need
variances to let people develop the land. J
Mr. Crowder said it looks like a good housE for the area.
Mr: Plemel said this lot was picked up at the County tax forfeit auction. He
said both the County and the City want the�e �.ots used and bringing in revenue.
MOTZON by Gabe1, secor�de� by Plemel, to clase th� public hearing. Upan a voice
votep there being no nays, the motian carried..
Mr. Crowder stated he sympathized with the neighbors as it is easier to have the
lot vacant, but from the Board's standpoint, this is a lot where more property
can not be obtained on ei�.her. si.de. He saic� it is a buildable 10� but it does not
meet Code. He said tr�e Board has gxanted othe� var_5.ances of this type in this
area.
Mrs. Gabel and Mr. PlemEl agreedo
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to recommend to the City Council, approval
of the lot area variance. Upon a voice vote, �h.ere being no nays, the motion
carried. '

MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. & Mrs. Bill Erickson, 650 Ely S�reet, were present to voice their objectians.
1 Mr. Barker explained they plan to build the same split entry on this lot as on
531 Fairmont only narrower. He said there will be no garage and they will meet
all the setback requirements.
�
'
Mr. Erickson said when his contractor built his home, in 1965, he had wanted to
buy these lots and then make two building sites that would have been 62 feet wide,
but the City wouldn`t let h un do it. No�v this man is trying to build on just 50
feet. He said he didn't think there was any difference now than then.
Mr. Crowder said the Co3e is the same as it was then. He said Mr. Erickson's
contractor could have asked for a variance and a lot split but now there is no
other J.and available to buy.

The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of October 15, 1974 7 E
Mr. Erickson stated the house that is being constructed on the corner (600 Ely
Street) had to be raised up to meet the flood plain requirements. He said if
this house has to be raised that high, the basement level will be even with our
first story.
, Chairman Drigans noted that if this house is in the flood plain, it will have
to get a Special Use Permit approved before it can be built. He explained to Mr.
Barker that the City recen*ly passed a flood plain ordinance that has to be
, complied with. :
Mr. Erickson asked if there would be another meeting to determine the eleva�ion
that is necessary. Chairman Drigans said this Board can only act on the variance
, and the Special Use Permit would have to be approved by the Planning Commission
so there would be notices mailed out. ,
, Mr. Crowder asked how high the flood came on Mr. Erickson's house. Mr., Erickson
said he wasn't in it then but he was told it covered about 7 blocks.
, Nir. Erickson said there is only one other 50 foot building site in the area. He
said he didn't think of bidding on this lot when it was put up for sale at the
tax forfeit auction because he was under the impression it couldn't be built on.
He said he would be willing ta buy these lots from Nir. Barker if they couldn`t
' build on them. Mr. Erickson also said this Iot is the drainage path for this
area and where is the water going to go if he builds?
'
�
'
,
'
Chairma.n Drigans said it has been the palicy of the Board to approve a lot area
variance if the lot is buildable if the app].icant can meet all the other Codes
and get financing and if the lot has good soil conditions. He added the Board
can only act on the variance. The other items such as drainage and elevations
are handled by other departments of the City.
Mr. Crowder asked Mr. Barker if he would l�e willinq to sell the lots if they
prove somewhat unbuildable as Mr. EricYson has indicated he might be willing to
buy them. Mr. Barker said he would first have to check into the flood plain
ordinance requirements.
Mr. Crowder asked what the next step would be for Mr. Barker if the variance was
approved. Mx. Mattson said he would have to come into City Ha11 to check on the
elevation requirement and see if it is possible to meet all the other flood
plain regulations.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by PlemeZ, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Chairman Drigans stated that if the variance was approved, it would Yiave to be
, subject to meeting the approval of the flood plain ordinance and%or approval of
a Special Use Permit.

RIVER ROAD N E, FRIDLEY, PdINNESOTA (REgUEST BY NORTH P�IETRO CONSTRUCTION, 5203
CENTRAL AVENUE N.E., DIINNEAPOLIS, MINNE50TA.)
Mr. Dennis Barker was present to present the request.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Plemel, to waive reading the public hearing notice..
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. Richard Lundorff, 7990 East Fti.ver Road, was present to voice his objections.
�
Mr. Barker said this will also be a split entry house.
' Mr. Lundorff noted that this property has the only fire hydrant in the area on it.
He wondered if building here would create any problem in getting to the hydrant.
He also said there was a large easement on th�.s property.
��
'
���
The Board in going over the survey, noted two easemer�ts; a 20 foot easement for
highway purposes along Eas.t River Road and a 20 faot drainage easement along
the back of the lot.
Mr. Crowder asked if East River Road would be widened here< Fie said he thought
that all the widening was south of Osborne Road. Mr. Mattson said he didn't know
of any widening being planned but he sai.d there might. be some planned in the
futuxe.
� Mr, Lundorff said he had wanted to buy these lots to build a garage on. He said he
had talked to a real estate agent about thes� lots but had been told they were�
unbuildable. He said he had called, �ohen it was up for sale, but the County wanted
' $2,100.00 and he couldn't see paying that when it was unbuildable� He said he
would buy the land if Mr. Barker wanted to se11 it.
�l
'
Chairman Drigans asked if this property can be used with the easements. Mr. Barker
said they can have a driveway over an easement. Mr. Crowder said he would want
the clriveway off from Liberty Street instead of East River Road. Mr. Barker said
he is trying to buy part of the road easement from tl�s County but he ha.s not heard
back from them.
Chairman Drigans noted that ta build a house on this lot may require other variances
� and if it does, the Board would like to see all af the variances at once. Mr.
Barker said he can put a 22� foot wide house on the lot withou� other variances.
�He said he would like a 24 foot wide house though.

Mrs. Gabel said she would like to see the plan of how the house will fit on the
lot before acting on this variance. �
Chairman Drigans said he would also like to see if there has to be other variances.
He added that i� the Board granted this variance, and then the proposed structure
needed other variances, the applicant could come back any say the Board granted
one variance, why not the others.
Mr. Crowder asked Mr. Barker if he is in a rush to build this house. Mr. Barker
said it depends on if a buyer wants this location. Mr. Crowder asked if he would
be willing to go along with tabling this item to show the Board tY�e house on the

Chairman Drigans said he would prefer if Mr. Barker would negotiate with a buyer
to find out what type of house is to be built and see if any additional variances
are needed. He added that when an item has to come back to the Board, the applicant
is taking up the Board`s time twice and also asking the adjoining property owners
to come back twice.
Mrs. Gabel stated that if the Board were to deny this variance, the same variance
could not come back to the Board for 6 months.
Mr. Barker said he planned to build a 22� foot x 40 �oot dwelling that would meet
all the Codes. He said it would be a tight fit on the lot but that it would fit.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to table this item until the petitioner can
present a plan of the house of the lot that either does or does not need additiona].
variances. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motio�l carried.
Chairman Drigans added that if the house needs other variances, tliat new notices
be sent out to the adjoiriing property owners.

MINNEAPOLIS, i4INNESOTA. 55421)
Mr. Dennis Barker was present to present the request.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Crocade.r, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried,
Mr. Clark Nason, 614 Cheryl Street, and Mr. James Anderson, 609 Cheryl Street,
were present to voice their objections.
Mr. Barker said he proposes a 36 foot by 24 foot dwelling on this lot. Mr. Anderson
questioned the elevation of the basement floor ta the street. Mr. Barker said the
elevation would be whatever the City requires.
' Mr. Mattson said this property is also in the flood plain. The present street
elevation by this lot is 6 feet lo�aer �han the 100 year flood plain and the house
will have to be positioned 2 feet higher than this measurement so it.will have
to be raised approximately 8 feet. Mr. Anderson commented that it will be a weird
'. house if it sits up that high. Mr. Mattson added that there could be some variation
in the B feet if the house is waterproof.ed.
�
,
�
'
,
Mr. Nason questioned the amount of fill required. He asked how Mr. Barker will be
able to keep all the fill on his lot.
Chairman Drigans stated that this Board only acts on the variance. He said the
elevation and drainage will have to be checked by other City departments.
Mr. Nason also asked about the two vacant lots (Lots 28 & 29) next to this
property. Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Barker if he had tried to buy these lots.
Mr. Barker said he tiad contacted Mr. Kotzer, the owner of the lots, and r7r. Kotzer
had told him the lots had gone tax forfeit. Mr. Barker said he then called the County
and was told the lots were tax delinquent but they were s�ill redeemable by the owner.

The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee P�Ieeting of October 15, 1974
Chairman Drigans noted
� Mr, Barker own are both
combined.
Pa�
that Lots 28 and 29 are both 25 �oot lots and the two that
30 foot lots. This caould make ].10 feet if they were
Mrs. Gabel asked Mr. Barker if he would be willing to buy the adjoining lots if
he could get them. Mr. Barker said he didn't think,so because his buyers for the
house do not want a garage and with that big of a lot, it is required to build
a garage.
Mr. Crowder asked P�Ir. Nason if he would be willing to buy the lots and then sell
10 feet to Mr. Barker ta give him the minimum lot area. Mr. Nason said he
would if the price was rignt. Mr. Nason added he did not want to see this house
8 feet above his house. Mr. Barker said he thought he would go with the water-
proofing requirements, if possible, rather than the high elevation.
Chairman Drigans stated the Board°s policy has been to deny the variance when
there is additional praperty to acquire. He said some agreement could be worked
out between Mr. Barker and Mr. Nason and the owner of Lots 28 and 29. He a@ded
a denial of this variance would require the applicant to wait 6 months before
co�inq back to the Board with the same request.
Mr. Plemel stated that it might be more feasible to see if a building permit
could be issued on this lot and if Mr. Barker could comply with all the flood
plain requirements before acting on the variance. Mr. Barker said he would agree
with this and would prefer the Board to table the item.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to table this request until the petitioner
comes bac}c with more information on the adjoining lots (Lots 28 & 29) and with
, information on what has to be done to comply with the flood plain regulations.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
' Chairnlan Drigans stated he wanted notices mailed out again on this item, when
the pe�itioner is ready to come back before the Board.

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION
September 24, 1974
MEMBERS PRESENT: Jim Langenfeld, Robert Erickson, LeeAnn Sporre, LeRoy Oquist,
Russell Houck, and Thomas Sullivan ,
OTHERS PRESENT: Ed Wilmes - Islands of Peace
MEMBERS ABSENT: Mary Martin
CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 7;50 p.m.
GiJ�ST SPEAKER
Mr. Ed Wilmes representing the Islands of Peace project spoke to the Commission
and its visitors about the project he has founded at the Islands of Peace.
He stressed the need to preserve the area in its nat��ral state and that the
public have access to this area, especially the physically handicapped and
disabled arid aged. There are no public facilities or parks in the state.which
these handicappped people can fully participate. He stressed the need to
provide such facilities and asked the Commission's support. He noted that he
is appearing before the Metro Council to seeic support and money for its deveZop-
ment. To receive such funding from the Metro Council certain criteria have to
be mpt, The draw':.ack seems to be that Fridley does not have enough low income
housing facilities and as a result the Islands of Peace project might be given
Iow priority. However, Mr. Wilmes stressed the fact that this project is not
just ior the City of Fridley, but that it wi11 serve all the handicapped and
aged of the area. Thus he is seeking to have this stipulation waived.

CITIZEN BIKEWAY CONN�IITTEE
October 2, 1974
' MEMBERS PRESENT: Jerry Boardman, Bobbi Spaeth, Dennis Schneider, Vern Moen,
and Lee Houck
' MEMBERS ABSENT: Joe Schommer, Bob Zee, Bill Gerads,iRobert Riese, and
Dale Hagen
Vern rioen opened the m�eting at 7:47 p.m.
MOTION BY DENNIS SCHN�IDER TO ACCEPT THE SEPTEMBER 25 ,IINUTES. Seconded by
Bobbi Spaeth. Upon a vor�ce vote, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Moen asked Mr, Boardman to report on his discussion held with the League
of Women Vorers. Mr. Boardman said he basically went over the function of the
Bikeway Com-nittee, and what the bike path xaould entail. Mr. $oardman said he
invited the League to come to the Bikeway Committee mpetings and suggested that
they be on the mailing Iist. Vern Moen asked if anyone had been appointed or
assumed the responsibilities of attending ehe meetings? Mr. Boardman said
someone had been appointed.
Mr. Moen said it would be a good idea ta get information out to other community
organizations to see if they would like to have a m�ember present at the Com.mittee
meetings. Mr. Moen said he wnuld contact som� of these organizations in the
City by letter asking them if they would like to participate.
ANALYSIS SECTION
Jerry Boardman said the topic to be discussad at tonight!s meeting was the
analyss.s section, Mr. Moen asked ho�w they should approach this? Mr, Boardman
felt this should be in inform�.tion form so that when the Committe� begins the
planning and route selection they wi11 have a11 this information behind them.
This should be completed by October 30. Some of the inforcn3tion has already
been compiled in the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan and Comprehensive
Land Use Plan,
Mr, Boardntan presented a msp illustrating bicycle accidents within the past two
years. He said he would gather more statistics and go back a few more years so
the Com�nittee could s�e the more critical areas in the City. This would help
in deter.mining the areas that would have to be more develop�ad, Mr. Boardman
said there had been two fatal accidents in the City which involved pedestrians
a few years ago.
Mr. Board�nan had a diagram of intersection changes that will take place. Some
of the proposed changes were �sborne and University, 53rd & Highway 65, and
University and Mississippi. Mr. Boardman said the Public Works Director had
instructed any intersection modi�ications be looked at ior bikeway considerations,
Mr. Boardm3n said he had notified the State to take into consideration how they
can get bike flow into this area.
Mr. Board;nan gave m��mbers a copy of the s?cond stage data, explaining that the
survey information will come under the analysis section, Vern Moen said problems
• t
Page 2
wi11 involve special critical areas such as Mississippi and East River Road.
Lee Houck suggested that they possibly could ask FMC for aid such as bike racks.
Mr. Boardman said the Committee should get this information lined out. The
Committee will take the data and analyze the neighborhoods for more extensive
trails. Such data will include the use of bicycles and what prevents bikes
from being used.
Mr. Boardman said he would like to hear from a few representatives at several
of the m�etings. They could ask someone from the Railroad, Metropolitan Sewer
Board, City F,ngineering Department, and also a representative from the State
Highway Department. Mr. Boardman said he would try to arrange.for something
of this type by the next meeting, depending on the schedules of the representatives.
Vern Moen suggested making capies of the large map indicating accidents showing
specific areas �ahere railroads caould be affected so they could present this to
the Railroad Company. Mr. Boardman said they should also enforce the Cityts
regulations that would not a11ow motorized vehicles and mini bikes on trails,
Mr. Moen asked Jerrq Boardman if he knew what some of the other cities had
done? Mr. Boardman said he could check into that. Dennis Schneider asked
what New Brighton was going to do now that they had put sidewalks in on Silver
Lake Road? Mr. Board:nan said they will probably put caution signs up warning
motor vehicles of bike crossings.
Lee Houck asked what they were going to do with Mississippi Street since they
are putting an overpass in? Mr. Board:nan said pedestrian flow is presently
be�.ng considered. Lee HoucIc asked if the City had allowed for bike space?
Jerry Boardman said they have s�t up for a sidewalk pedestrian and bikeway system.
It could probably be channelized for bikes on one side, pedestrians on the other
side.
Dennis Schneider referred to the map of bicycle accidents and asked what percent
of those bikes were licensed? Mr. Board.nan said it was prababZy about 10%.
Mr. Boardman said there is a City Ordinance which requires that bikes be licensed,
the fee is $1 fox the li�e of the bicycle. The license stays with the bike so
if the bike is sold it belongs to the new owner. The main objective of licensing
is theft. Mr. Boardman said this topic will be discussed under education, in
the enforcement of existing laws. The Committee would be in fa�ror of both bik�
lice:�sing and enforcemzn� of regulations.
Mr. Moen asked if they had a good idea wherz these other community trails are
going to enter into Fridley? Mr. Boardman said he had just received a plan
from Coon Rapids and there is no extension from Coon Rapids to Fridley at this
tim�.
Mr. Boardman said he had recently received a letter from �ISP stating that it
was alright if the City used their easements. The City must receive the property
owner's approval also. Mr. Moen astced if they must receive resident agr2�nent
on bikeways that are put throug(: re.si.dential areas. Mr. Boardman said this would
have to be done if any bike paths were put on private property.
Mr. Moen said there will probably t�e an increase in bicycle density with the
encouragement of bicycling and change in the economic system. Mr. Moen asked if
there were any figures yet for the bikeway system. He thought the sooner they
� r
I �
Page 3
' began, it would be more beneficial because of rising costs. Mr. Boardman said
the most accurate figures will be the City wide total figures. Any figures
they came up with, an additional 15% increase was added onto the cost per year.
'
�
�
'
Jerry Boardman said during the analysis section, it would be a good idea for the
Committee to review the state and local regulations.
Mr, Moen hoped the meetings would be wa11 attended in the future. Replacements
should be made if som�� of the m�mbers are not interes�ed in serving on the
Gommittee. He would like to get all the information gathered so they may
begin a close study of the data.
AD JOURNMENT
Mr, Moen declared the meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m. The next meeting is
Wednesday, Qctober 16.

Dear Mr. Qureshi:
Under the terms of our professional liability irtsurance coverage, CPA's are
now required to indicate the scope of their engagement in a letter to their
client.
CPA's are also required to indicate that the CPA's examination of financial
statements, ordinarily for the purpose of indicating that the statements are
fairly presented, will not necessarily discover fraud or defaZcation, although
the application of generally accepted auditing procedures may uncover such
situations.
Accordingly, we are now required to send you the enclosed letter and ask that
one copy be signed and returned to us. We believe it serves a good purpose
in better acquainting you with the scope of the work performed by your auditors.
Very truly yours,

GenLlemen:
We are currentl_y planning our fali and winter work program and would appreciate
an indication that we may be invited to conduct the 1974 audit of the City as we
have in past years.
We propose to conduct a l�mited general audit and issue our opinion on the basis
of such an audit. A limited general audit is an examination which consists of a
review of internal control, accounting procedures and of the details of aIl
records, including subsidiary records and supporCing data as to mathemaCical ac-
curacy, prapriety and completeness of all transactions on a test basis. The test
examination presumes that the items selected are representative o£ all the
transactions.
Although a limited general audit is the one most frequently used today, it will
noC necessarily discover fraud or defalcation. However, should fraud or defal-
cation exist, i�t may be uncovered as �hs result of one or more of the procedures
applied on a tes� basis. '
As in previous years, we plan ta da as much work before the year end as possible
so that we may present our report at an early date.
We have enjoyed our relationship with the City duri.ng the past years and hope
that we may be allowed to conduct the 1974 audit. �
Very trulq youxs,
