are long overdue and construction had not begun. He added, a couple of the basements
are in, but there had not been any work done on the properties for the past 120 days.
The Pu61ic Works Oirector said his recorrnnedation would be to declare the building
permits null and void.
The City Attorney explained there is a provision for one extension for 90 days, but
this extension has been given and the time has lapsed. Ne said there is no other
provisions in the Code for any additional extensions. He said according to this,
the Administration would have no choice but to declare the building permits null and
void. He said there are no provisions for the Council to waive this requirement. He
said he thought legally, it would be best if the Council did not waive the provision.
rie reminded the Council of the content of the Code, and said the Council would have
the authority to go beyond the time period by the extension of a 90 day period and
this is all.
The City Attorney suggested if the Council would follow the recommendation of the
Administration, he felt the monies paid for the original building permits should be
either refunded or credited to the new amount for the building permits.
The Public Works Director again pointed out that Mr. Miller's office indicated he would
not be in attendance at the meeting. kie said he specifically questioned if Mr. f•liller
would want to have the consideration tabled for consideration when it would be
possible for him to attend and he was told Mr. �tiller wanted the Council to take action.
Mr. Sobiech further pointed out that he had informed the Miller office that the only
information to be given to the Council would be the Administrative recort�nendation to
declare the permits null and void, but they requested action in Mr. Miller's absence.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to declare the building permits null and votd, but that

Commission was that an application for a special use permit was not necessary
at this time, but the stipulations on the current speciai use permit shoald be
modified. He further explained that in the original special use permit, the wood
fence had been stipulated for screening purposes because there was storage of
materia] in this area. He pointed out that the present request asked for the use of
a chain link fence for security purposes and there is not much material being
stored in this area with the present usage. Mr. Sobiech said the area in question is to
be used as a display area rather than a storage area. He repeated the request would
be to change the stipulation requiring a wood screening fence to a chain link security
fence.

like to discuss. He referred to the consideration of the elimination of the ice
at Ed Wilmes Park and said there were several people in the audience concerned
about this decision. lie said before the meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission
adjourned, a motion was made to drop the ice skating areas at Ed Wilmes Park and Plymouth.
He said the people of the area are concerned about loosing this rink, and it was just the
last year when they were able to get one in there. He said he had talked to many people
in the area about this he had also talked to the City Manager. He thought the only thing
that could be done is find the money someplace for this ice maintenance. He said when
thepeople had called him concerning the continuance of the skating rink, he had directed
the calls to Councilman Nee.

ball activities. He mentioned that the members of the Council had worked hard to obtain
ice facilities and hockey rinks for Fridley. He said originally, the rinks were
provided for boys playing hockey. He continued stating the girls have only one rink,
' Flanery. Councilman Utter said according to th� minutes of the Parks and Recreation
Comnission, the girls had requested the use of another facility, Rice Creek School.
Also, in the minutes it is stated by some that the girls wanted a warming house. He
continued to explain that when the girls are playing broomball, they seldo�n need the
' use of the warming house. He said another claim is that if the ice is used for broom-
uall, this would allow for the straw from the brooms getting on the rink. i.ouncilman
Uttter disagreed with this stating, the girls are required to use the best possible
equipment and this was not possible. i,ouncilman Utter explained that the participation
'. in the hockey association is equal in number to what it had been in years past, but the
number participating in hockey had decreased and broomball enrollement had increased.
Councilman Utter said he believed the girls are entitled to as much as the boys.
He stated, he thought the City should provide another facility for the girls broomball.

with the first three stipulations, but do not fully agree with the fourth stipulation.
He continued-to explain the disagreement being that the High School would like to enter
into a five year agreement. He said at the present time, the City and High School:
are working on a month to month basis. He said the proposal and agreement would be
cancelled upon notice from either party in the agreement at any point in time. He
said another consideration would be that the City would like.to use the Grace High
School Tennis courts for tournaments. The Public Works Director said he felt the

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OECEMBER 16, 1974 PAGE 6
Councilman Utter said he believed 6race High School should pay the required amount
for the park fee. He recalled that P4iller, 0'6annon and Pine Tree Builders had all met
this requirement. F�e said they did not have the chance of ineeting the requirements or
offering facilities.
Councilman Utter said he could not buy the agreement proposal. He continued to state
that if he would have come in with a proposal to plat 14 lots, he would have to pay the
park fee. He said this should be a permanent thing, not a month, five year, or ten
year plan. He stated he believed the City should receive the money or some land to
compensate for the park fee.
The Public Works Director said at the present time, Grace High School is not in a
position to compensate by giving land. He added, this is why the City had negotiated
for the use of the facilities.
Mayor Liebl said he would like to see the new Council work out the agreement with
Grace High School. He mentioned they had worked hard on the plat and the City would
have to be consistant and be practical for the City and the property owner. hie also
said the Counci7 would have to be fair to the other people who had platted property
in the City.
The Public Works Director said he had been talking to the Grace High School representatives
and they believed this was the most they could propose at the time. Mr. Gnerre agreed
saying they were proposing their final agreement. Mr. Gnerre said it had been the
Planning Commission recommendation that the agreement be reached for the use of the
facilities in lieu of the park fee.
The City Attorney said the agreement would be contingent on both parties being in
agreement. F!e commented this was a five year proposal and after this, both parties
could get together on renewing it. Councilman Breider asked if there would be anyway
that this could be more affirmative. Mr. Gnerre said he did not know of a way that
the present school board could do the contracting for the future school boards.
The Public Works Director said the second part of the agreement with some question.
is the fifth stipulation. Mr. Sobiech said the agreement proposed a five foot
sidewalk easement east of Matterhorn Drive, south of Gardena Avenue and west of
Arthur Street. The Public Works Director continued to explain that the Bikeway/
walkway Committee had come up with a preliminary route selection and this did not
coincide with the suggestions. He said they had suggested a route on Matterhorn
Drive, not on the east of Matterhorn Drive, but on the west of Matterhorn Drive.
He said he doubted if there would be a need for the installation of sidewalks on
both sides of the street.
The Public Works Director commented that there would not be a need for dedication
of a sidewalk easement on Arthur Street because the roadway is 31 feet wide and
the easement there is 60 feet, there would be no need for additional right of way.
Mr. Sobiech said he wouid agree with the easement on the west side of Matterhorn
Drive.
Councilman Starwalt said he would be reluctant to approve the plat and negotiate
the agreement after this. He said if Grace High School would agree to pay the fee
of $300 per lot first, this would be satisfactory with him. He said he would
like the answers to more of the questions first.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the final plat as requested by Grace High
School for the property south of Gardena Avenue N. E., concurring with the first
three stipulations as recommended b.y the Planning Commission, and contingent on
agreement being reached on the fourth stipulation which was revised to require
payment of the $4,200 park fee or, as an alternative, iiegotiate an agreement for
use of recreational facilities at Grace High School in lieu of the park fee, and
amending stipuTation number five to state that a five foot sidewalk be provided
on the west side of Matterhorn Drive and the south side of Gardena Avenue (deleting
requirement for easement on Arthur Street) and that the assessments for the sidewalk
be taken care of according to City policy. Seconded by Councilman Breider.
The Attorney representing Grace High School addressed the Council and said it is
his understanding that if the $4,200 park fee is paid, there will be no other
conditions for the park requirement. lie stated that the stipulation for the
sidewalk was in line with what they had suggested in their letter to the City.
Fie commented that the requirement to pay the $4,200 park fee with the option of
' --__ _--_ ___----- _ ____ ___ _ ------j
�� � �� 7 ,
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 16, 1974 PAGE 7 �
;.
'
'
leaving this amount open for negotiations on an agreement would be fine. Fie further
: stated that if some agreement is not reached in a reasonable amount of time, they
wou�d pay the $4,200 park fee. He said at this time the plat wou7d be approved.
The Attorney continued to state that Grace accepted the first three stipulations
as recommended by the Planning Commission, they were fine. It had been on numbers
four and five where there was some questions.
� The Attorney for Grace High School questioned how the cost of the installation of the
sidewalk would be levied. �le explained that in their letter to City they had requested
that this assessment not be paid by Grace. Councilman Starwalt said he thought the
sidewalk being on the residential side of the street would be assessed to,the home
' owners. The City Manager informed the Council that Matterhorn Drive and Gardena
Avenue were both State Aid Roads and the normal policy for this situation would be
that the residential home owners would pay a normal rate for a residential street
� and the added assessments wouid be taken care of by other funds.
' Mr. 1•lervin Herrmann, City Assessor, explained this would be the case in the residential
areas. He questioned if this policy would apply for the other portion of sidewalk.
Mayor Liebl said St. ;lilliams was assessed for sidewaiks. He said he thought this
: policy was only followed in residential areas. Mr. �lerrmann said this was correct.
' Counci7man 'tarwalt sai� the City would have to take action consistant with the
policy. G1r. Herrmann said the lots on the residential portion of the'roadway would
not be assessed for sidewalk, but on the south side of Gardena, Grace High School
will be assessed.

RESOLUTION N0. 130-1974 - APPROVING EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY FOR PARK PURPOSES:
AND
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH DAVID 0. EiARRIS AND JANICE M. HARRIS
FOR EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY IN HARRIS LAKE ESTATES FOR PARK PURPOSES:
The Public Works Director pointed out that item number five (Consideration of First
Reading of an Ordinance Relating to the Sale of Real Estate Owned by the City) was
to be discussed in conjunction with this iiem.
The Public Warks Director referred the Council's attention to page 12 of the
� agenda and pointed out Lots 10 through 15 which had oriainally been needed by the
City for ponding purposes. He said it is now recorrmnended that Lots 12 through 75
be traded to Mr. Harris for Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Narris Lake Estates. He said
this would allow for the installation of a larger park on the south of Mississippi
Street. he said his recommendation would be that the Council approve the first
' reading of the ordinance authorizing the sale of Lots 10 and 11, Block 6, Oak
Grove Addition at this time also. He also recommended the adoption of the resolution
to trade the properties. He said the City's acquisition of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1,
j Harris Lake Estates would increase the size of the park in this area.
L�'
' .
�
�
,
�
The City Attorney said if the Council takes action to adopt the resolution which would
authorize the trade of property, the ordinance for the sale of property should be
changed to read, "Lots 10 through 15, 61ock 1, Oak Grove Addition." He added the
reason for this amendment would be that the City would be selling ail of the Tots
even if the sale of Lots 12 through 15 would be by trade.
Councilman Starwalt recalled that in the original discussions on the plat of Harris
Lake Estates, that the property owner to the east of Lots 1 and 2, BTock 1, Narris
Lake Estates did not want the park property to abut their property. He mentioned
that there had been some agreement in this area, and thought this could be worked out.
Mr. David Harris addressed the Council and explained that this was ihe Gonsior property
and his original negotiations with these people brought about the people indicating
they would rather have a residential structure or a house next to their home. fie
explained their fear to be that someone would drown in the pond. He said this area
was shown as residential area on the preliminary plat because of the Gonsiors' wishes.
Mr. Harris said Councilman Utter had expressed the desire to enlarge the park and
this is the reason for the current proposal.
Councilman Starwalt said he was in agreement with the proposal for the trade of

properties and enlargement of the park. Councilman Starwalt questioned if this was
equal area in trade. Mr. klarris said the area of the land would be approximately
equal, but not in value. Mr. Harris said according to appraisals he had received,
the lots on the lake would have a higher value because of the view of the lake. He
also stated that the lots in Oak Grove Addition are surrounded by older homes and
this would be another factor in considering the value equality.
Mr. Dennis Schneider asked what the current value is of the lots in Harris Lake
Estates compared to those on Fridley Street. The Public Works Director said he
had worked with the City Assessor on this and the figures for the value of the lots
had come out very close. �1r. Herrmann agreed and stated they were very close.
i�irs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton, questioned who had the lots filled. The Public
Works Director said these lots were filled by being used as a disposal site for the
construction of the street improvement on Mississippi. Mrs. Sporre said then, the
City filled them. The Public Works Director said the contractor filled them. Ele
explained it is up to the contractor to dispose of the excess fill and if a site can
be designated by the City for the disposal of this fill in the immediate area, this Tessens
the cost of disposa} by saving time and traveling expense for the contractor. He said this
would mean a savings of money on the street improvE•ent projec t and saving on the
contractor's expenses.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to waive the reading of the ordinance and adopt the
ordinance on first reading changing the wording to "Lots 10 through 15, Block 6, Oak
Grove Addition". Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a roll call vote, i.ouncilman

Janice M. Harris for exchange of property in Harris Lake Estates for Park purposes.
Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, �iayor Liebl declared
the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Nee questioned if the Administration would like some instruction on how
to sell the lots. The City Manager said he would obtain a professional appraisal and
this would amount to a cost of approximately $250.
Councilman Nee asked to have this item brought back to the Council before any final
action is taken on the sale.

DEVELOPMENT FUNDING: •
Counci]man Breider said he would like an Administration explanation on this item.
The City Manager said under a new federal law, there would be some funding available
for communities with populaiions below 50,000. He said the chances of obtaining this
funding are very remote since there is only one and a half million dollars available
for the metropolitan area. Ne said the proposal would be to form a joint ad hoc
conmittee for planning the use at some level, services, and priorities. He said
if the City were to improve their rating under policy #31, they could obtain funds
directly. He said there would be no committment to an indefinite period of time with

The City Attorney said the letter in the agenda had been received from the carrier of the
City's liability coverage and states that they had received a summons and complaint on
this file. Ple said the letter states since the insurance company does not know all
of the facts, they are not in a position to determine if the allegations are within

Councilman Breider questioned what the City was being sued for. The City Attorney
explained that Dailey Homes; Inc. owns the property adjacent to the pond of Harris
Lake Estates. Mr. Herrick said Dailey Nomes are claiming by reducing the level of
the pond in Fridley this reduced the water in New Brighton. The City Attorney said the

and New Brighton Engineering Staffs were talking about this being a joint project.
He stated, Fridley decided to go ahead with the project and New Brighton decided

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF bECEMBER 16, 1974 PAGE 12
by Councilman Breider.
` The City Attorney explained that there had been a number of letters exchanged concerning
this dedication of park land in Innsbruck North. He said the letter in the agenda was
i written by himself to Mr. Billman and it pointed out that he had an obligation to dedicate
'� the land to the City regardless of any agreement with the Darrel Farr Corporation. The
� City Attorney continued to explain that in a telephone conversation with Mr. Qillman,
, iie pointed out that Farr is delinquent in the payment of $15,000 and they had come
to an agreement that this be Qaid by the month in the amount of $1,000 per month for
15 months. The City Attorney said it was his feeling that it is Mr. Billman's
obligation to deed the land to the City and he felt this should be brought to the
Council's attention.�
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
The City Attorney further advised the Cauncil that the agreement has been recorded with
the property, but the City's position would be stronger if they did have the deed
to the property. The City Attorney said the City is in a good position at the present
time, but if the Council wished to have him ask for the deed, they should advise him
of this.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to authorize the City Attorney to ask for the deed for
the land which was to be dedicated to the City by Mr. Sillman by agre�ment for
Innsbruck North. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,

wish them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
�tEgUEST FOR LEGAL OPINION CONCERNING CHALLENGE OF RANKING IN POLICE DEPARTMENT:
Councilman Nee said he had received a call from one of the Police Commissioners x,
that evening and he would like to speak to the point of ranking in the Police Department.
He said there is no challenge concerning the abolishment of the position, but there is
a challenge on the ranking. Councilman Nee said in his conversation with the Police ;
Commissioner, he was advised that the Police Comission would like an opinion on this ,:
question from the Attorney General. �
The City Attorney said he had done some research on whether the City can abolish
a position for economical reasons. He said perhaps, he had mininterpreted the letter '
from the Police Commission. F�e said his opinion was that this position could be �
abolished without a hearing. The City Attorney said he had tried to coniact Mr.
Warren Spanus that day, but was unable to reach him. He said there was an old Attorney
General's opinion that the position could be abolished without a hearing and also �"
a Supreme Court decision that also said this could be done. The City Attorney said he �
was confident on this point. �
The City Attorney said whether or not the Council should obtain an opinion from the
Attorney General on the point in question would be up to the Council to decide.
Councilman Nee said Mr. Wilbur Whitmore, Police Commissioner, had explained the
question to be, if the position is abolished, does this just abolish the person's
title, and is the employee entitled to a job at the next lower ranking position.
Councilman Nee stressed, the Comnissioner wanted an Attorney General's opinion.
The City Attorney said he had not researched this point.
MOTION by Counci7man Nee to direct the City Attorney to research and prepare
a legal opinion on the question of ranking in the abolishment of a position.
Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vo+.e, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl
declared the motion carried unanimously.

Councilman Nee directed a question from the content of a letter submitted by the
Council from the Administrative Assistant, Mr. Peter J. Herlofsky, the statement
concerning commercial advertisements. The representative of General Te]evision said
the advertisements would not be during the meeting and there would be no interruption
of the meeting for the messages. He said there may be some messages preceeding and
after the close of the meeting. He said the meetings would not be cut to insert the
commercials.
Councilman Nee questioned if the City would have to pay for this type af production.
The representative said there would be no charge to the City.
Councilman Starwalt asked what is being experienced across the Country with this
type of telecasting of local Council meetings.
A representative of General Television, the Program Director, Mr. Krebs, said this is
being done in the City of Dubuque, Iowa, and this is done live. He continued saying
this had been done for a period of three years and is quite successful. He said they
are broadcast live every Monday evening and the Cable System signs off after the
meeting. He pointed out that the Dubuque City Council had two meetings a month
previously, and now they are meeting every week in a hope to solve some problem
matters. He continued stating that the meetings are drawing steady watchers in
Dubuque. He mentioned this is also being done in Brainard.
Councilman Starwalt asked if this success was for the Company, the City or the
citizens. The Representative said this is successful for the Company, but the
ratings received by the meetings are in excess of some of the network shows. He
said he also felt this was successful to the advertisers. He stressed it is
successful for the community because the Council is reaching more peop7e in the
community. He said all seem happy with the televising of the Council meetings.
He offered to furnish names of references for the Council if they wished him to
do this.
Councilman Nee said he thought this to be a constructive request.

Councilman Nee said he wou7d like to discuss the minutes with respect to the Commission
receiving the petition. He asked the City Attorney if he had read these minutes. The
City Attorney said he had glanced at the minutes.
Councilman Nee asked the City Attorney if he had giverr the Charter Commission a formal
opinion to ignore the petition. The City Rttorney said he had some discussion with Mr.
Sheridan, Chairman of the Cfiarter Commission, and he had suggested to Mr. Sheridan
that the members of the Charter Commission and the people who had submitted the petititon
should get together and come up with a recommendation to the Council. �le said in this
manner, the question could be settled with an amendment and would not need a special
election.

�- in the minutes of the Charter Commission meeting, he would like the question submitted

, a petition had been submitted, now it must go through the legal channels. He said if
it is not a valid petition, the Charter Commission should discuss the issue with the
,� petitioners. Councilman Breider said there were many signers on the petition and
' they are concerned about sor�ething and the Charter Commission should take a look at
this. After this, he continued, it would have to go to the Council for a vote, and
; tfie Council could get an indication from the vote of the people in the fal] election.
r
' Councilman Breider said he agreed with the first part of the motion, but not the
; second.
� The City Attorney said he had no quarrel with sending the matier to the Attorney
General, this would not hurt him professionally. He reiterated that the language of
the Charter is not clear, there is no specific time limit for submitting the petition
to the Council.

CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING SOME GUIDELINES FOR ISSUING LIQUOR LICENSES:
AND
SETTING PUBLIC HEARING ON LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATIONS FROM FRONTIER CLUB AND BOB
SCHROER:
Councilman Breider said the City had received an application for a liquor license
in the First Ward. He said Mr. Wyman Sm9th, Flttorney, was present to represent
the applicant, Mr. Bob Schroer.
Mr. Smith advised the Council that Mr. Schroer is in thz process of obtaining an
architect's plan and design for the construction of a new building which would be
locatedr�orth of his present business (Bob's Produce Ranch). He said this application
, is different from the others being processed in that he would have to start from
! scratch in financing and construction of the facility. i•ir. Smith said some preliminary
I` work had been done and Mr. Schroer and his wife were intending to set up a corporation
� with the two of them being the sole stock holders in the corporation. He referred
� to the requirements of the issuance of such a liquor license stating there would have
� to be a public hearing. He said a7ong with this requirement, the people who dispense
would a7so have to obtain a license and wou7d need approval, but this would not require
a public hearing.
Mr. Smith suggested the Counci7 take actiorion preliminary approval of the license
contingent on the applicant meeting all of ihe necessary requirements. He said this
would allow Mr. Schroer to continue to make the necessary arrangements for design
' finances, etc.
Mr. Smith said Mr. Schroer did have some preliminary drawings, but they were very
perliminary. He hoped to have everything in order by the time the Pub7ic Hearing
was held and have such information in hand. He thought this could be accompli&hed
within a week.
Councilman Breider said when the people voted for the additional licenses, they
wanted to have fine places in the City of Fridley. Ne said the Council would have
to consider each request individually. He thought the discussions and decisions
to issue licenses in the past had turned out well, the people who have licenses
are very involved in the community. �He said they also run good operatians which
are not a problem to the City. „
i Councilman Breider commented that personally, he was very pleased to be notified
� that there was an application from Mr. Schroer, ne is very active in the community. �
' Councilman Breider believed Mr. Schroer is very cooperative in working with the �
i City and the Co�unity. He mentioned the decisions to be made in the future and ;
the poTicies to be followed and felt this would be difficult. Ne questioned the
' possibility of increasing the physical aspects and requirements. .

The City Manager said the City had bean initially very limited in the number of '
licenses it had to offer and it was forced to be very selective. The City !
Manager said the City does have some good businesses at the present time. He
pointed out that now, they had substantially increased the number of licenses that �.
could be issued. He said if the Council so desires, they could issue all of the �
available licenses, but they would have to have some criteria to judge in this process.
4 The Public Works Director said there would not be any problems with the new
construction, but there wou7d have to be some policies set for the existing structures.
He said the buildings under the existing Code would not be adequate. He pointed out as
an example that the Code calis for one parking stall for each four seating places
; in the building. Ne said maybe this should be one out of two� or broken down in a
different way.
The Public Works Director said there would also be problems with the sprinkling
systems, the existing Codes do not require the installation of a sprinkling systems.
He thought this should be stipulated and made a part of the requirements for the
]iquor ]icenses. He said fires do occur in this type of facility and they are also
subject to arson.
The City Attorney said he would check with the League and see if they have any infor-
mation on this type of criteria. He thought rather than use the criteria of
a dollar value, the City should investigate the possibility of using a policy
based on seating capacity.
Councilman Nee said he shared the pleasure mentiened by Councilman Breider over the
decision of Mr. Schroer to construct such a faci7ity. He thought the discussion
on the criteria should be spread out and considered by more than the five members
of the Council. He suggested having the Planning Commission review the possibilities
in the creation of the criteria. He said �is may take from one to two months. He
asked if this would cause any big problems with anybody. He said he thought the plans
that Mr. Schroer had would be a credit, but there would be others applying and he
would like some guidelines and the input of other people.
MOTION by Councilr?ar Breider to set a Public Hearing for the application for liquor
licenses by both the Frontier Club and Mr. Bob Schroer for January 13, 1975. Seconded
by Councilman Nee.
Councilman Breider said he thought the remarks made by the Public Works Director were
very well taken. He thought this is the type of thing the Council shouid iook at
when estabiishing the policy.
The City Manager said the legal requirements for the issuance of such a license
ar� lengthyand laborious. He said the full information should be available for the
hearing. He said the Aministration would cooperate with the applications in getting
the necessary data to conform to the City and State requirements.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor pro tem Utter declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Councilman Nee asked if the Council could start the process of amending the ordinance.
Ne questioned if the existing ordinance stated the amount of licenses that could be
granted. He asked if this would have to be amended io state the new number allowable.
The Finance Director said this had been done by resolution.
Councilman Nee said he thought the Council should adopt the criteria of the seating
capacity. He indicated he would like to have an ordinance that is defendable.
The Ciiy Manager said the Administration would bring a propos�l before the Council.
He said they would come up with some format for the Council to discuss. He mentioned
that the Council could always change the figures.
RESOLUTION N0. 129-1974 - APPROVING GRADE FOR MISSISSIPPI STREET UNDERPASS:
The Public Works Director pointed out the elevations in the plans to the Council and
proceeded to have a brief discussion on the various aspects of the plan at the Council
table.
The City Manager informed the Council that this Resolution would be necessary to obtain
Federal funding.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE QUESTION Of ISSUING AN ON-SALE LIQUOR LICENSE TO MAX SALITERMAN
FOR KING'S CHALET, INC.,LOCATED AT 6259 T. H. #65:
Mayor Liebl read the Public Hearing Notice to the Council and audience. The Chairman
declared the Public Nearing open at 7;37 P.M. Mayor Liebl called on Mr. Saliterman
to present the request.
Mr. Saliterman addressed the Council and informed them that he was the property
owner of.the block of stores in Shorewood Plaza. He said he had presented a copy of the
plans for the remodeling of the King's Chalet. He stress2d, it would not be feasible
to open the restaurant without a liquor license. tie mentioned in the app2ication, a17
of the necessary requirements of the State Statutes and the City Ordinances would be
met. He requested the approval of the .license to reopen the restaurant. He pointed
out to the Gouncil that he had paid taxes in the amount of $58,217.28 per year and
three of the stores in the Shopping Center are vacant. He mentioned those being the
G& K Cleaners, Shorewood Cycle, and the restaurant. He continued saying he had �
confidence in the area and thought the area would be rebui7t to the point that all
of the faci7ities in the Center would be rented.
f�lr. Saliterman said the restaurant facility is well equipped, and those contractors who had
originally equipped it for the first restaurant managers would again be involved in the
equipment. He mentioned this firm to be Continental American of Minnesota. Mr.
Saliterman said he was submitting the old and new plans for the Council's review. He
further pointed out that if the license was issued, this would be a first c7ass rest-
aurant. , j
Mayor Liebl asked the proposed seating capacity. Councilman Breider said the plans
called for a totai of 290 seating capacity, 210 in the dining room and 80 in the
lounge. Mr. Saliterman said this was correct.
Mayor Liebl said the proposal was for a 8,000 square foot operation. He pointed out
� in the estimated evaluation submitted by the Administration, the Saliterman facility
land was valued at �22,000 and the building at $66,000 for a totai of $88,000. Mr.
Saliterman mentioned that the other places of this type in the City were evaluated
at $750,000. i�1r. Saliterman said the value wil] depend on how well the business
does.
;

Mayor Liebl said Mr. Saliterman had been the first applicant since the election when
the voters had indicated they favored an increase in the number of liquor licenses to '
be issued in the City of Fridley. He mentioned that there had been other persons applying
for licenses and listed them to be the Frontier Club, �•laple Lanes and Mr. Bob Schorer
who had applied for a license and planned to build a new facility if granted.
�
Mayor Liebl said he felt the new Council should take the action on the liquor licenses.
He mentioned that there were some strict policies and codes to be set up for this
procedure. He said all of the other applicants in the past had to submit a floor

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 1974 PAGE 2 '
plan of the p•roposed operation and also different designs to justify the request.
P1ayor Liebl asked if Mr. Saliterman had submitted such a plan. Councilman Breider
said yes, he had submitted a floor plan.
Mayor Liebl commeni;ed that the members of the Council had received a memorandum
from the Public �Jorks Director which listed 12 items of concern of the overall
condition of the property in Shorewood Center. �
f4r. Wyman Smith, Attorney for Mr. Saliterman, addressed the Council and said he had
not seen the listed stiupulations. They had not been submitted to him or•Mr.
Saliterman. He felt if these were housekeeping items, hir. Saliterman should comply
with the stipulatinns.
Councilman Starwalt said an app1ication was also coming from the Maple Lanes operation,
and if these were all approved, there would be three large liquor facilities within
a block of one another.
i�1r. Smith pointed out that there is s�o question in Mr. Saliterman's mind that this
wou7d be good for business. He pointed out that the bowling alley also needs a
liquor license to compete for business. He commented that they were faced with the
same situation as Mr. Saliterman is, they could not operate a competitive business
without a liquor license. He said the other bowling al1eys in the area had been
issued licenses. He again mentioned it would not be possible to operate a successful
restaurant without a liquor license. P1r. Smith further stated that the issuance of
the liquor licenses would complement the whole area, the bowling alley and the
restaurant would both thrive. Pir. Smith said he had talked to the Savelkouls about
this and they felt the same way, it is difficult to compete for trade without a
liquor ]icense.
Councilman Starwalt pointed out to Mayor Liebl that the Council had touched on
this the past week in his absence when he was tending to other City business. He
said they had talked about how far the City could go in the liquor business. Ne
mentioned the question of whether or not the City should go to the maximum in issuance
of the licenses. He said he was just one vote on the Council and thought this was
a serious si�uation. Ile emphasized that three of the applications that had been
received vaere in his ward, and there were already two licenses issued there. He
mentioned who knew how many others would be applying. Ne commented that the present
requirement was that the business do at least 50% of its business in food. Fie felt
this would be quite an endeavor and questioned if there would be enough market to
handle this criteria. Mr. Saliterman said that he was prepared to make a large �
investment and before this is done, it wouid be worked on and researched to determine
if this would be feasible. He said this is a nice area with good parking. He felt
that there would be room for all of those who had applied.
Councilman Breider mentioned he had been looking over the floor plan and noticed
that the dance floor was surrounded by the dining area. He recalled there was
a faci7ity with this type of floor plan that was uable to do the business in
food because of an arrangement like this. He mentioned the requirement of doing
a 50/50 business in food and liquor. The City Attorney said the food income should
total 50% of the income. Councilman Breider said this is the same situation as in
a restaurant in Bloomington and they had been having trouble doing the required
50� of business in food.
Councilman Nee said Mr. Smith had indicated that the seating capacity of the proposed
establishment would be 1,000 persons. He questioned if this was correct in light ,
of the figures mentioned earlier that evening. Mr. Smith said this was not correct. �
Before the layout and plan had been prepared, he had estimated the 1,000 which
was a total of 250 and as many turnovers as there would be per night. Ne said ;
this seating capacity had been changed from what it had been. '
Mayor i.iebl asked if the change in plans called for the change of the interior,
exterior and change of fixtures. Mr. Smith said the�interior would be changed,
but the fuxtures such as tables and chairs were in g�od condition and would be
used again. P1r. Saliterman agreed and stating they were in very good condition
and will be used.
� Mr.Lbnald Savelkoul addressed the Council (concerning Maple Lanes) and said he had
� just a few remarks to make. He mentioned what Mr. Smith had said was the position
i of Maple Lanes on this matter. He mentioned that Maple lanes had applied for such
��
1 a license some time ago, and he felt that they should have priority in receiving
�
���
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF DECEMBER g, 1974 PAGE 3
a license. He said he had no objections to the issuance of a liquor license to
Mr. Saliterman. He said they would wish him well and hoped that he would be
successful. He said he felt if the Council were limited to the number of licenses
to be issued, they would have priority because af their previous application. He
said he fe7t each application shou7d be put forth and judged on its relative
mer�ts. He said he did not object to any other applicants as such as competition,
he had no feelings about this at all. He said he thought this would be good.
Mr. Savelkoul said he would like to have his application considered on its merits
and not what would be formulated because of someone elses application. He mentioned
if the priorities are listed, he recalled the time when the City first considered
issuing the initia] ]icenses and said they were one of the applicants at that
time. P1r. Savelkoul called ta the Council's attention that priorities were set
at that time and someone had dropped out. At this time, i:he license was issued
to Ground Round. He felt if this was taken into consideration, Maple Lanes should
be first prioti°ity.
Councilman Utter questioned Mr. Savelkoul if he had been in contact with the Finance
Director or the City Manager concerning their liquor license application. He
asked if they had filled out a ne�a application at this time. Counci7man Utter updated
Mr. Savelkoul that according to Ordinance, there is a limited time for the investigation
and other administrative tasks involved. He mentioned that the public hearing would
have to be set and publication of the natice would have to be ordered. Councilman
Utter said Mr. Saliterman had submitted his application in ample time, that is why
he was at the hearing stage at the present time. He also felt if the number of
licenses was to be limited, this one should be considered.
f�r. Savelkoul said before the Council acts on Mr. Saliterman's license, he thought
Maple Lanes should be considered.
Councilman Utter asked Mr. Savelkoul if he had some plans to remodel the bowiing
lanes. Mr. Savelkoul answered, they would have to do some remodeling, they would
have to provide a lounge.
Mayor Liebl again questioned if they had a kitchen in the plans. f�ir. Savelkoul
said they did have a kitchen at the present time. Ile added, they had been serving
food and having the restaurant license for 20 years. fie said they also have a
State license and City license for this. Mr. Savelkoul expressed, undoubtedly,
if the business progressed, they would want to do more in the future. He recalled
they had originally started with eight bowling lanes, progressed to 10 lanes,
20 lanes, and now have 32 lanes.
� ' Councilman Utter said before the hearinq closed, he wou7d ]ike to comment that he
hoped every member of the Council would thoroughly read the ordinance. He stated,
some of the requirements the City had not followed in the past. He hoped the
members of the Council would read and remember the content, and then follow it.
Mayor Liebl said he would like to see the change researched before the City ordinance
is amended. ilayor Lieb] asked if it wou]d be pertinent that the City make these
changes and implement this into the City Ordinance. The City Attorney said this
depends on the Council and what they wou]d look for in this type of licensing.
He added, it would depend on what kind of businesses the City wanted.
'� MOTION by Councilman Utter to close the Public Hearing on the matter of the issuance
of the liquor license to Max Saliterman for the King's Chalet. Seconded by Councilman

Councilman Breider questioned if any formal action had been taken as far as setting
a Public Hearing for Mr. Savelkoul for Maple Lanes. He suggested if not, this
should be set for January 13, 1974.
Mr. Savelkoul explained to the Council that he had an important engagement and
would be on vacation during this time. He questioned if this could be handled the
meeting after this one. Councilman Breider said this would be January 20, 1975, but
the others are coming for Public Nearing the evening of January 13, 1975. He said the
Council may want to hear all of the requests and have the hearings at one time in one
group.

Mr. Savelkoul again stated he would not be able to attend the hearing at this time,
they just would not be in town. He said it would be possible to rest their laurels
on the application and the rest of the information to be given to the City Manager
and Finance Director.
Councilman Nee asked if they would be back on the 20th of January. f�rs. Savelkoul
said no, they would not be back until later in January.
The City Manager said it would be possible to set up the Public Hearing and
continue it if there are any questions or concerns at this time. He said this would
enable the Council to address all of the iiquor license applications at one time.
P•1r. Savelkoul saio they would be back all of the month of February.

which had been submitted at the time of the previous application which were submitted
to the Council at that time. (�ir. Savelkoul said he would do this.
The City Manager questioned if the Counci] wanted the n� tter of the consideration of
issuance of the license to 61ax Saliterman back onthe next meeting's agenda.
Mr. Saliterman said this would be large investment if he was to b��ild a place like
the Council wants. He s�id he has be°n in contact ,•rith som� people ti��ho are interested
in the proposal and he would not �vant them to cool off. He said he felt that the
businesses would be an asset to each other. Mr. Saliterman said he did not think
the City should scatter the restaurants and licenses all around ihe City. Ele
mentioned one persor he kr,ew of with a shopping cen�er and five restaurants in the
same center. He felt the closeness of the businesses would bring people to the
area.
Mr. Smith said he was just in the process of instructing Mr. Saliterman of the same
facts. He stated Mr. Saliterman pays ir� the area of $57,000 iri taxes per year and
there is no one occupying the restaurant area. He pointed out that Mr. Saliterman
t�ould take care of the housekeeping items and planned to build a first class facility.
He said it would be possible to lose interest with this sort of cielay. Mr. Smith
concluded stating he wauld rather have the matter handled individually than in a
group, but if there is no other way than to have it put off, it would have to be
put off.

Mr. Wilmes continued to comment stressinq the importance of the Ts7ands of Peace in
reference to the usefulness of the area for the handicapped, elderly and children.

thought the handicapped should be designated as people with a critical need for an
area. He said those people within the institutions who are handicapped have no other
place to go. He mertioned in many instances the able bodied people are not wiiling
to accept these people, but the handicapped are willing ta share their area of the
Islands of Peace with anyone.

unable to come and speak to the Counci7. Mr. �dilmes issued an invitation to any
member of the audience or Council to accompany him to visit with these handicapped
people to experience the need of these people and base their reports on the truth.

It just ��.���sn' t up to daie a5 far. as to i�hat part tal;.en by the

Mr. Driqans said then wh}��aasn't there an up-to-date survey
of thc }�roperty ���e arc beinq asked i.o split. I�1r. Clark said it
�aas bec�iu.:c, Mr. Peterson didn' L sup��:Ly us ��rith one, but it �•�asn't
uncomrnon for s��ncone to get conrcPt app.roval before they go to the
expens� of a survey. He said he thought th�re was enough sho�dn on
the survey so t.}�at we could tc:l].. the �etitioner. �,ahether the Pl��nning

Mr. Clark said he thought the High�aay Uepartment had taken
about 42. Leet niore af Mr. Peterson's praperty. I�e said the higliway
was �•�idened in 1965, and thi.s was prob�.bly �ahen t2��y took the add�_t�.Un-
a1 ric�ht of way. „
Mr. Clark said there is anc�ther exis�ing structure south of
Mr. Peterson's house. Mr. Peterson said this was a double garage
�a71ic11 he built wi-th access to �i�hird St.reet N.�. Tl�e other garage
on his lot was one he used when he sti�_1 ha.d access to Universit�r
Avenue. Af.ter t7ie highway F7as v�idened and the freetaay fence pu�
up, he no longer had access to tlzis garage and tzsc�s it for storage..
1�4r. Fitzpai�rick said this old garage w�s three feet from the
present l�ack property Iine and three feet from tlie new sa�deyard line.
Mr. Clark said this was code. .
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Peterson if he had di.scussed -this �vith
his neiglibors? Mr. Peter_son said 11e hadn't, but thought they had
been notified of this request. Nr: Cl�irk sai.d the.r.e was no noti�ica-
tion of neighbois on a lot split request.
Mr. Fitzpatrick as}:ed how o1d the houscs �,�ere tl��at v�ere north
oL- i�ir. }?eterson's property. T�Zr. Peterson said he, thought they c�-ere
bui_lt in 196`_i and were about nine years old. N1r. Clark said the
houses across the street were built in about 1955. '
r1r. Iiarris said tl�e Subcornmittee though�

Gentlemen,
Please consider this letter tn be my rea,uest for the placing on the
� agenda for the December 1G, 1974 Courlcil �leeting of tl�e matter of
extension of the building permiis I have previously secured with
reference to the above subject properties.
�
,
�
I am requesting that the City of Fridley permit me to com�lete the
construction on the above properties based on the fact ihat they
were va1idly obtained in good faith and the fact that I have commenced
const��uction at all properties, L fee1 that to charge.me an additional
fee for building permits again or� these same properties would be an
unfair and discriininatory practice and would not meet either the spirit
or the letter of the applicable law. We have always tried to cooperate
to the fullest with the City of Fridley and I hope that you agree that
our work has been a credit to the community.
Thank you for your courtesy, cooperation and attention.

Planniriq Commi.ssion Meeting - December 4, 1974 Page 2
Mr. Clark said that the land in this plat is between Rice Creek
Road and ihe Westerly extension of 6�th l�venue. Easl��of this plat
{-h�l� ar_e a series of double bunqalows that face Pierce Street and
are adjacent to Central Ave�ue on the ��I�st. He said the property
caas all zoned M-1 (light industrial) c�I1C� wi.11 be platted into five
lots. The first l�ot is occupied by a moving van company. There are
no p].ans for Lots 2, 3, and 4, however, on Lot 5, there is a tentative
purchas� agreement by a company that c�oes rus�-proofing of automobiles,
etc. �Ie caiitinued that thc buil_ding that was drawn in on Lot 5 was
noi� necessarily the building that wo�zld be built on this lot, but
�aas �Lhe largest building that could be buili� and meet the setback
requiremen�s ��zd yet stay far enough away from the sanitary sewer
so i�liat: it could be maintained. He sa.i_d tha�. 15 feet was as close
as �•�e would want the building to be to this sanitary sewer, providing
that the footing elevatian was 877�5 above sea ]_evel. That is on the
basis oi a slope o� 1 t� l ratio to the pipe. If the footing was
deeper the easement could be smaller, and if the footing was less,
it would bc la�:g�-r.. The elevation oi 877.5 woul_d be 6 feet below
the present gr_ade of Rice Creelc Road. Mr. Clarlc said there was a memo
from the Engineering Department showing the different elevations
and what th� easement would have to be �or each ozze, and tlze petitio.zer
could have a copy of this so it wau]_d giv� him an option as:to cahat
elevation he caould Eaant to use. He sai_d the property was about three
feet below th� grade of Rice Creek Road at the present time.
Mr. Clar): said there was a se�aer line that runs along the j�lest
boundary of t}zis plat and this d.oes sever Lot 5 about 1J3 of tlie
way from the P?esfi bouz�dary line. T�iere was also a arainage ditch
along�Rice Cr_eek Ro�d �,�hich is on both L�ts � and 5, and there
ta�as anoLher drainage ditch running along the Westerly boundary of
this plat, whicii was not shown on tYie prel.iminary plat, and this
ditch was between 10 and 15 feet.from the boundary line.
Mr. Clar_}; said that all lots in DZ--1 zoning have to b� at least
3/4 acre. Lot 2 is about 400 square f_eet slzort. He said that t�,To
feet could be taken fr.om Lot 3, so Lot 2 could be 115 feet which wculd
make LoL 2 3/4 acr_e. Lot 3 is deeper than Lot 2, so this lot would
stil7_ meet -Lhc area requirement�
Mr. Harris said that at the P1ats & Subdivisions-Streets &
�. U�ilii�tes Sul�com�ri.ttee mee'.�ing, they V,�er_e i�old L-hat the owner of
Lo�L ]_ wanted to acquire some addi_tional land. Mr. Clar_k saic� the
pre.liminary plat reflects i�his now. Mr. Clark said the moving comrany
wants to us� this land for storage and i�hey didn't know if they cou�d
get� a pezmit to build these storage facilities. Lot l, as shown on
the p1a•�., includes land that is not presently owned by the occupant
ot Lot 1. Mr. Fitzpatr_ick said this really docsn't enter into the
consiaeration of the plat, however.
Mr. IIarris said that the petitioner has met all the stipu?�t�;dn�
' of i�he Plats & Subs Subcommittce except the stipulation for a drainage
and utility easement alonh the Westerl�. property line for the drainage
ditch and sanitary sewer line.
' Mr. Driqans said that he felt tt7ai: by i:aking two feet off Lot
3 and addii�q in on to Lot 2, this would malce Lot 3 a narrow lot. i�r.

me�t the 3/4
shift the lot
Mr. fiarris asked Mr. Clark if it was the City's i�tent to go
along with these drainage ditches instead of storm sewers? Mr.
Clark said the Rice Cre�k W�tershed Distr.ict either has a policj or
a 1.aw in �alzich they will not alloca us to put apen drainage dii:ches
into pipe, because they want tYzem ta act as sediment basins, for
salt, fertilizers and such, that would be running off the streets,
to keep these things from goin� into Maor_� Lake or Rice Creek. He
said thai� if they did pipe part of the ditches that were g�oir�g over
�Lo i�arris La}:e Estates, for instance, they would have to put in sump
pumps intermittently a7_onq it to allow for scdi_mentation.
Mr. Harris said then this �aas basically the system that would
remain in this area. He asl:ed how the drainage would be handled on
tha.s pl_at. Mr. Clark said he thouqht the lots that were facing
Central Avenue would drai» the front par-t of the lot towards Centiral
Avenue, and the rear of the lots would drain to the ditch on the
Westerly boundary, and then down to Rice Cree}c Road.
Mr. IIarris said
so they could have a

Mr. Fitzpatrick
dr_ainag� on the plat_,
of the property.
there would have to be a culvert for Lot 5,
driveway. Mr. Clark said that Mr. Walquist
irom the Coun ty to put a pipe under the drive-
said it seemed that th�re was provision for
and the rest would be handled in the grading
Mr. Clar3: said the accupancy for Lot 5 was ad�rertised for a
Special Use Permit for the next Planning Commission meeting, so
th�y wou]_d get a chance to discuss the size and location of the
building on this l.ot at that time. Mr. Fitzpatric}c said the approval
of the Special tlse Per_mit doesn't have any bearing on the approval
ot the p1at, did ii�? I�Zr. Clark saicl no. Mr. Walquist said that this
plat started with the discussion by the o�mer of Lot l, who wanted to
pick up additional fr.antage along Central 1lvenue, and during those
discussions on how to break up this property into additional lots,
the other party came in and asked about developing Lot 5.
Mr. Clark said
� this property could
plai: the property as
,
'
Mr. Walquist did inquire about a lot split so
be developed, but he recommended that Mr. Walquist
a better soluti�n. ,
Mr. I'itzpatrick askec? about the ownership of the entire plat.
Mr. Walquist said there were two ownerships of Lots 2 through 5, and
Lot 1 is owned by someone else. FIe said one owner owns 50 feet of
Lot l, as it is now platted, along with Lots 2 and 3. "The other
owner owns Lots 4 and 5.
Mr. Drigans asked

Comrn.zssion close the Public Flearing on the consideration of a
preliminary p1at, P.S. #74-08, Herwal Rice Creek Terrace,.by George
L. Walyuist. Upon a voice vote, a11 voti�zg aye, th� motion carried
unanimous.Zy_
b4r. Clark said he would like the memo from the Engineering
Department as part of tlie motion. They could probably call it
Exhibit "A", and alsa the drainac�e easemer�t for the ditch along
tlie Westerly Uou.ndary slzould be wide enough so e,e could maintain
a three to one slope on its banks. Iie said he couldn!t te1Z the
I�.lanninq Commission how wide it should b�, because he didn't know how
muc}� fill i� wauld take to make the property higlzer than the ditch.
He said that ma��be h1r. Walquist ��aould go along �aith a 30 to 40 foot
easement for both a drainage arid utility easement in this area. He
said t1Zis property line is adjacent to R-2 property and they taill
have to maintain a 50 foot setbar.k fr_om thi_s zoning in a M-1 District.
�4r, C1ark said this setbacY. coul_d be used for s�Lorage and par};ing
areas. If thc Plannir�g Commission stipulated that anything 15 feet
from Lhe East side of the sanitary sewer lin� to the �aest property
lin� "be dedicated �or draa_nage and utility �asement, this would take
care of it.
h90TION b� )larris, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning

Mr. Clark said the main reason for this request was that they
want to put i.n an outside display west of the present structure, and
they do not want to put up a screening fence. He said this was
before Bu7.lding Standar_ds a couple of �aeeks ago and the plan was
appr_oved with the stipulation that if the petitioner did not put
up a screening fence, he had to have a Special Use Permit granted
by Council to put up an unscreened chain link fence.
A�r. Lindblad said that normally Building Standards ask for
a wood fenc� ox a chain lin}: fence that was slatted.
Mr. Clark said the area we are taking about is about 100 feet
from Osborne Road, and was an area us�d mostly for sales and storage.
Mr. Schroer sai_d it would be used mostly for retail sales. He said
that rrank's Nursery takes a little different view of a close out
sale in the fall, so to speak, and they basically sell down,to noth.ing.
He continued that this ar�a would be used to sell nursery stock and
bag goods in the spring of the year. The bag goodswould be�Yept along
the i^iest fence line. �
Mr. ritzpatrick said the fence we are discussing will be bet��een
the blacktop area and the new nursery bed, then. .
� rsr. Harris ask�d about the zoning of this prop�rty. Mr. Clark
said it was C-2S (general sho�ping areas).
'
�
Chairman Fitzpatrick said the Special Use is for sales of
merchandise in the open then. Mr. Clark said this was correct.
Mr. Harris said he felt this should have gone for a variance
rather than a Sp�cial Use because it was just a change in the fence.
Mr. Clark said that in a commercial area,
' stor_age of inerchandise in the open, it requires
and this was basi_ca11y what it was.
if ther_e was outdoor
a Special. Use Permit,
' Mr. Lindblad said this area was no longer the way it had been
in the past. A 1ot of changes ha.ve been made�. Tlzey are not going to
have concrete blocks, etc. towards Osborne Road. The frontage that
� faces Osborne Road was shrubs from Osborne Road to the parking area.
There will be no stoi-age in the front, it wi11 all be in the rear.
Mr. Harris ask�d what section of the code was being used so that
' this required a Special Use Permit. Mr. Clark said it was 205.101,
3, N. Mr. Drigans said he thought it should be 205.101, 3, 0. Mr.
Clark said the section of the code quoted says trailers, campers,
mobile homes, boats, machinery, sporting equinment and like enterprises
' having its merchandise in i:he open and not under cover of a displ�y
room."

Mr. Harris said as he reads the Public Hearing notice, this was
a special use to take out the screening fence. Mr. Clark said he
either had to put up a screening fence, or get a special use to store
the nierchandise in the open.
Mr. Drigans said then the code says you have to have a screening
fence to havc outdoor sales. Mr. Clarlc said no, you do not. DSr.
Harris said the code says you have to have a special use permit. Mr.
Drigans said they must have a specia.l use permit for outdoor sales,
becaus� they have been selling out there for years.
Mr. Lindblad said the basic reason they had been asked to put
up a wooden fence in the first place, was not that this was a sales
area, but because this was a storage area. He said the Building
Standards-Design Control Subcommittee always recommends a screening
fence when outside storage was visible from the street.
Mr. Harris ask�d what section of the code was being used as
the basis for a screening fence? .
� Mr. Clark said that our interpretation was that if you want
to have di_splay merchandise, whether ii� ba boats, snowmobiles or
nursey stocic, in the open, why would you want to screen it? Mr.
� Harris said that was not what the ordinance said. Mr. Clark said
it do�sn'� say anything, it says out in the open, not under.cover of
a display salesroom. •
' Mr. Fitzpatrick said then �ahat you axe sayi.i�g is that this would
be allowe� with a Special Use Per_mit, if there was screening. He,
said he thought outdoor sales required a Special Use Permit whethe.r
, it was screened or not. Mr. Harr_is said this is what he thought also.
Mr. Harris said he still wondered where the screening fence came from.
�
�.
'
Mr. Cl.ark said this came u� at Building
told him to eithei put up a screening fence,
Permii�. Mr. Drigans saic3 then the scr�ening
and is not a violation of the code.
Standards where i:.hey
or get a Special Use
is merely a stipulation,
Mr. Lindblad said this has been a recommended policy for some
time. Mr. Harris said it has been arbitrarily recommended, let's put
it that way. He said he could take someone all over the community,
and some places we do, and some places ti�e don't.
, M.r. Lindblad said he didn't think Mr. Harris would f ind that in
the last two or three years. 1�Zr. I-iarris said he could show where it
happened last year. Mr. Lindblad asked where this was. Mr. Iiarris
said the nuilding Standards probably didn't even sec it, and it was
� arbitrarily done. Mr. Harris said th� code has been arbitrarily
adminis�trated ever since it was adopted.
' Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Schroer if Frank's Nursery already had a
Special Use Permit to sell nursery stock? Mr. Schroer said they did.
Mr. Urigans said that he felt that was all they needed. Chairman
, P'itzpatrick said that there was a stipulation on that Special Use
PermiL- that they have a screening fcncc. Mr. Drigans said this was
just a si:ipulation, and not a violation af the code. Chairman ritz-

P].annin� Commission A7eetinq - December 4, 1974 Page 7_
patricic said ti�is was a stipulation of the Special Use Permit, so
where we are now, was that they wanted to continue to do a� they
have always done, but without the scr�eninc� fence.
7�
Mr. Clark said that Frank's Nursery was doing things a lot
dif�erent than the way things were done before. He said the merchandis�
area had l�een moved way bacic on the lot, that they had put in berms
and shrubbery iri front: of the parking area, and the entire area caas
very much improved. Mr. Fitzpatrick said it was a much improved
business, and yet he felt they were still operating within the Special
Us� Permit they already have, with the exception of the screening
fence. .
Mr. Harris asked D2r. Schroer how tall. the nu.rsery stack was. Mr.
Schioer held out his hand and sl�owed how h�_gh the shrubbery was, and
he sa�.d the trees were taller. Mr. Iiar�is said he would have to c�:t
all th� i�rees of� at six feei�, because this is what �he code says. �t
says you can't have a scre�ning �ence over eight feet high , and
anyi�lii_ng behi_nd the screening fence has to be t�,7o �eet shorter .
Chairman Fitzpatrick said they weren`t �hinl:ing abou-t nux'sery stock
when they wrote the ordinance. Nr. I3arris saia they weren't thin;tiing
aUout anything. Obv?ously, the person ���ho varote this didn't Y.now
what hc, was writing. Mr. Fitzpatric]c said this was written for the
stacki_nq of inercliandise behind a fence. He said this wouldn't pre-
clude acting on this petition. Mr. Drigans said he didn`t see ho���
i�hey could ac�. �n this petitian. Iie was afraid that if we did ttiis,
he could �ust see this c�mpoundinqe �v�ry �ime someone wantcd to put
up a fence, Building Standards wc�re goir7q to tell_people to get a
Special. Use Permit,. and he did.� `-L- feel this was required. He said
tYla-�. the section of the cod� that this Uusi.ness was operating under,
do�sn`t require a scr.eening fence. Mr. Fitzpatrick said the Special
Use that he was op�rating under had a si�9_pulation thai there must ne
a wooden screening fence, and -L-hat's what tl�e petitioner wants to
chanqe. �
Mr. Drigans said he thought cahat the petitioner should do was
fjust ga to the City Council and say he wants this fence, and ask tnem
to waive this stipulation on the Special Use Permzt.

Mr_. Lindblad said then Mr. Drigans would be fightii�g everything
thai the IIuilding Sfandards-Design Control Subcommittee had been
sugc�esi�ing and enforcing. Mr. Drigans �aid that these were only
si�i.pulations. D'Ir. Lii7dblad said that was right., but the object of
Buil_dinc� Stanclards «as to make some of these places a little more
attractive to the people who have to look at them. If Mr. Drigans
was qoing to ta}ce that point of view, then there was no point in
Building Standards requesting or suggesting anything. He said it
was just lilce pre cast curbing, which we really don't approve of, but
lie said he didn't know if there was anything in the code that said
they cauldn't be used.
Mr. Iiarris said just a minute, iie told Chairman ..I'itzpatricl{ that
he wished to step down from his position on the Planning Commissian
and tal:e issue with ttie City admini.stration and the "nuil.c�ing Standards
Chair�nan. In his own p�rsonal dealing witl�. them, Ure have been fo�ccd
to put in concrete curbs on a particuiar praject of ours, when we
----�--- i
' Planninq Commissa_on Meetinq - December 4, 1974 Page 8 % �
had requested to put in pre cast curbing for drainage purposes.
' He said he thouqht the code had been ar�itrarily and capriciously
administrated since 1969. He said he wasn't saying it was all the
administrat�_on's fault. Th� ordinance, in many cases, was lacking
in candor and knowl�dge of the situation as it exists in the City
' of Fridley. He said that he personally fel�. that the person who
wrote the ordinance hasn't the fainiest idea of what's going on, has
never driven anything larger than a half ton pick-up truck, and
' sits in an ivory tou3er someplace and doesn't know anything about
business, building or anytl�ing else. He thanked the Planning Commissio;:
and said thai was a11 he had. to say on the subject. .

Mr. Drigans said he ur�derstood what the Building Standards-
Design Control Subcoir,mittee was trying to do when they try to enl�ance
the surrounding property, but he thought th�y extended themselves a
Ii�tle too far t��hen tl-iey direct a petitioner that they must have a
Special Use Permit, or_ get a variance, when in essence they were not
violating any codes. They are only attachinc� a recommendation or a
stipulation, and he tl7ought that if the petitioner wanted to take
issue with a stipulation, that it should go directly to Council. He
said he�could see nothing in the code that says the petit-ioner must
have a scre�ninr� fence. Mr. Fitzpatrick said there was a stipulation
on the existing Special Use Pernlit �Lhat says they must have a wood�n
screening fence. Mr. Drigans said then they are being asked to get
a Special Use Permit on a Special Use Permit. '
Mr. Clark said that when this Special Use Permit was issued
�there were certain stipulations put on this Special Use Permit. Now
the pe-�itionez: has come up wii�h a new plan, and he doesn't want the
wooden screening fence. I-� was the Planning Commission and the Council
who originally approvea this SpeciaZ Use Pexmi-� with this stipulation.
Now �he petitioner was back before the same body asking to have the
stipulation for the screening fence removed. Mr.�Drigans and Mr.
Harris said they did not get this in�ormation from the hearing notice
for this reques�. Mr. Clark said the reason this was brought to the
Planning Commission`s attention was because the petitioner was no
longer providing a screening fence to keep this area from being out
in the open.
Mr. Pitzpatrick said the reason this stipu]_ation was put on the
other Sp�cial Use Per_mit was because we were screening something that
caas much clos�r to Osborne Road, and his interpretation of the pr.escnt
peti�tion was simply to have a Special Use Permit without that stipu-
lation. Mr. Harris said that the petitioncr was in essence asking
that the screening fence be removed.
Mr. Clark said the pr�sent location of the nursery stock would
make this scr�ening fence unnecessary.
Mr. Lindblad said he thouc�ht that he was under a misunderstanding
as far as thc Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee was
concerned. It was his understanding that this SuUcomniittee was a
recommei�di.ng and advisory , group sei: up by Council to give recommenda-
�.ions and advice to the Council. lie said they didn't have any say
on wheth�r this or that was done, we jusi� make suggestions on how we
think somet-liing could be done bett�r, whet:l�er this is code or not
°,,.°".. .. I
' Planning Commission Me�ting - December 4, 1974 Page 9 7 N
' cod�, it's still strictly up to the Council. For instance, the code
says a building has to be painted. If they really want to get nit-�
pickiilg, i�hey can �ust paint it one �olid color, but we suggest maybe
brea}:ing this up into diffcrent colors, using some brea}:-off bloc}:,
, or other mc�ans, so that wt�E�n this building is constructed, there a.s
some type of break in a long wall. As far as this screening is con-
cerned, he said he didn't care if it was code, laca or wllat have you,
' he didn't care at his poin-L-. P7e recommend that some things have to
be scr�encd, and ti�hy it has to com� to a Special Use Permit, we don't
care abou� that eit�her. It's just that he thought the Subcommittee
was supposed to be doing a job of making recommendations to the Council,
' who can over-rul� us whether we li}�e it or not.
'
�I'
'

I;
Chairman Fitzpatrick said that in this insi�ance, he thought the
Building Stzndards-Design Control S u}x ommii�tee had a good reason for
stipula�Ling the vaooden fence at the tim� that they did,�but now that
the plans have changed, he didn`t think they �•rould make the same
stipu].ation now.
Mr. Lindblad sa]_d hc thought when it got right down to it, they
were saying the �uil_ding Stanc�ards-Dcsign Control SubcoiYUnii:tee wasn't
necessazy and everyone should just inter.pret the code any .v�ay :they
want to. That's what seems tv be beinq said here, if we recommend
anything that's not speci�ically in the code, we ar� wasting ou'r.�time.
Chairman I'itzpatri_ck said that stipulations can be recommenciede
Mr. Lindblad said i:hat is what happened on thise �ti'e made tl�e recom-
mend��Lion that �he screeni�ig fence rernain, and the .petitioner did not
vaant this because he wanted his display visable and open. Mr. Lindblac�
said why this r_econlmendatian ior a Special Use Permit didn't go directl�.�
to Counci.l, instead of being a-outed ta the Planning Commission, he
really didn't know. •
Mr. Harris said he thought the basic fault lies with the ordinance.
' He said that he didn't think the ordinance even comes close to beiz�g
able to handle the si.tuations �ae get into. If you go through the
screening section, it was obvious ttia� it V�as inadequai.e and just= ��on't
, fit any of- the problems. He said that as he read the petitioner's
requesi�, t=he basic reason fo.r Ll-iis ��iice was f_or security. He said
that maybe this wasn ` t i�he time to di_scuss t1_zis, bui: ma��be we should
, get down to the problem of why we have fence�. If it is for s�curity
reaso�is, tlien obviously a wooden fenc� or a slatted chain link fcnce
wouldn`t be f-or security. Th� police couldn't see through a solid
fcnce, and anyone could hide behind such a fence. If it's a fence
' bet�aecn residential and cornmerical or industrial property, then you
need a.screcning fence. There is no place in the ordiriance where these
different situ��tions are taken into account. He said the Planning
' Commission wou]_d really have to rnak� a greater effort to get through
thcse ordinances so we can make some recommendations to the Council.
'
�
�
Chairman Fitzpatric}: said he agreed that there were many sections
of the coc�e that need�d recommendations for change, but he didn't
think the presc�nt petitioner should Ue held up on his rcquest. He
has a lec�ititnai:e request, and a reconunendation should be made one way
or the other.

put it up fr_om the building zrid on out about 30 feet. All the tool.s
and nurseiy stocic that has ta be brought bacic to laok good again, would

Comrnzssion wazve the. r.eadir�g of the Public Hearing notic� on the
request for � SPecial Use 1'ermit, SP ff7�-.Zh, by Reynold Swanson.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting a�e,. the motion carried unanimou's1y.
Nir. Swanson said he was the sole o�ai�er and operator of this
mobile home sales lot and had been since July of 1972.
Mr. C1ark said the origi_nal agreement wa5 in the agenda, and
this was a three year Sp�cial Use Pe�mit, t.hat was riot renewable,
and wil_l run out in July, 1975. Wlzen Mr. Swanson called and asked
us how he could renew tl�is Special Use Permit, and the agreement
stated that i.t was unreneoaable, he was told that he had to start
al1 over again with a new �pecial. Use Permit requ�s�:.
7J
Mr. Fitzpatric}r. asked why the Public Iiearing notice states that
' this is an extensiorz o� a S�ecial. Us� Permit, �Lhen. Mr. Clark said _
that was because the nro�erty was pr_esently being used for this purpose.
' Mr. Fiarris said �.the Planni_ng Commi.ssion had another request �o_r
a Special Use Per_mit for the same purpose just a short time. ago,-and
had used this agreement as a model for that r_equest, and he couldn't
remember if we had sti.pulated that Special Use Permit wasn't reneva-
/ able or not. Ctiairman k'itzpatrick said that he remembered that they
didzZ ` t. .
' Mr. Fi�czpatrick sai.d he �aas on i�he Plannz.ng Commission at the
time this Special Use Permit was granted, but he couldn't remember
why they had sti.pulated it wasn't renewable.
'

'
I� �

Mro Swanson said that at that time, the owner of the property�
Mr. Donald IIarstad, was contemplating build9_ng at this location. At
i�he pres�nt time� because of inflation and cost_s, etc., he has no
pl_ans for utilizing tl�is }�a-operty. He said there was alsa some problems
witlz the pievious operators af the l.ot, wh�n the first request was
cansidered.
Mr. Tiarris asl:ed if i.his permit had had a yearly reviewal. P�I�-.
C1ark said the staf_f had r_eviewc�d it annual..ly, but not �y,the Pla�lning
Cammission. D1r. Clar}c saicl i:.he lot h.ad just been 'inspeeted: pr�_or
to tliis meetinq, alZd it does rneet a].l the stipulations that �aere in

MOTION b� Drigans, seconded by Flarris, that the P.Zanning Conirniss.zorl
receive the letter from the ownez� of the property, Don Aarstad, datcd
November Z3, 1974. Upon a voice vote, a.Z1 voting aye, the motion
carr.ied unanintousl y.
i�ir. Driqans said that in reading this leti:er, he �7idn't see any
reference as to how long A1r. Swanson would be able to have this lot,
or to lease it. Mr. Swar�son said he was going to have a five year
lease, if this Special Use Permit was granted.

Mr. Driqans said that if the recomnlen da�ion was to grant this
permit, he thought it should be tied to the termination of the lease
the same as they did on the last request for a Special Use Permit
for the same use. Mr. Drigans said we di.d ask for additional blac}:-
top on the other request also.
Mr. Harris asked if the lot was all crushed rock? Mr. Swanson
said he had an area 30' x 30' blacktapF�ed that �aas the entrance to
i�he lot. The balance of the lot was class V��aith an oil base that
has been on the lot since it was sta.r_ted and this has held up very
we11. Iie said i�hat if this ne��� Speci_al Use Permit was approved, he
would be willing ta bJ_ack�op the entire lot. IIe said a fence had
been put up on the back o� the lot to screen Mr. Harstad's operation
away from this lot, and they had put in more sodding.
M.r. Drigans said that anothe� stipulai�iozz tha�L they had put on
the oi�her requesi� was thai: the petiii_oner keep majority ownersYiip of
tlzis business, and it not be transferable to someone else.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Clar]-. i.f there had been any complaints on
this lot. I�r. Clark said they didn't� have any on this operator, but
ihey had had som� on the previous owner. .
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Swanson if 1Ze had a five year lease at this
time. DZr. Swanson said his present lease ran until July, 1975, and
has tallced to Mr. Harstad, and he has agreed to a five y�ar lease.

5. DI5CUSSION
Mr. IIarris said he had ati�ended the seminar a� Normandale
Junior Coll.ege on November 21, 1974. Unfor.tunately their printed
sr.hedule cii.dn't mesh with the topic of discussion, he said, so they
didn'�L talk about the particular i�apic he was interested in which
was federal fundirig for housi.ng foL the elderly.
Mr. Ii�rris said they did discuss the zoning code, which was
very interesting a1so. They used Robbinsdale as a model., because that
was �,*here the instructor was"from. There �vere some interesting comments
and ii� was wellworth the $5.00, he said. One thing that was brought
up was that we probabl�T should area pl_an instead of saying an area
was, for instance, a]_1 M-2. If i.ts all M-2, �ahich is al.l industry,
in an ar_ea like this �,�e cannot provide oi�her ser_vices, such as a
r_estatzrant. i�. Harris said they se�m to be doinc, some�hing like
i.his in the Georgeto�ti>>z comple�, and he �idn` t know if this was code
or not_. He said I�Zro Filister was providing a beauty shop, other
small shops and even a nursery sclzool. He said he thought this was
a good thing. r7r. Clark said this was allowed as an accessory >>se
in R-3 zonin.g. These sertrices are just for tl�e p�ople living iri George-
town and iG � o� the area can be used for suc�i �purposes.
Mr. Harris said the �.nstructor also
� a building in Rob��insdale where they have
and then some floors for businesses, and
which he thought was an eacellent idea.
'
�
mention�d that there was
parking on� three £loors,
the top floors are apart;ments,
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that it was true that you could find your-
sel� in an industrial area, and not find a coffee shop for a long ways.
Mr. Harris said there was an exchange of ideas on the zoning
codes, and we found that we all had basically the same problems.
� . Mr. Clark said the question of havii�g an ordinance outlawing
campaign signs came up at tlze last meeting. He said Maplewood had
p�ss�d such an ordinance, but it was tak�n to couit, and the court
ru.led aqainst iL. He said tl�ey had checked oi�her citi_es in the
� metrapolitan area, and no one else has such an ordinance.
�
�
'
'
'
,
Ch�irman Fitzpatricic said our ordinance controlling campaign
signs seems to ti�ork quite well.
Chair_man Fitzpatrick said it was a little lat� in the meeting
but he did want to welcome Mr. Langenf_e1d as an ex-of�icio member of
the Planning Commission. `i'h� other members joined in this welcome<
Mr. Lanqenfel.d asked if he could vote on the-receiving of minutes
or on any motions. Mr. Pi_tzpatrick said he didn't think he could, but
he should enter into all the discussions, and liis comments would be
taken into consideration when the motions were made. �
6. WORI:SIiOP r1E1?TINGS
Mr. C].ark said the Planning Commission wou]_d have their .�
rectu]_ar workshop meeting on DecemUer 9, 1974. This was tenta'tivel.��

'scheduled meeting of December 18th �aould be a workshop me�ting, also,
because there was only onc scheduled item for this meeting.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. C�.ark if he haa gotten a clarification
i of the open meetii�g law. Mr. Clark said there would be a policy
es�.ablished by the Council after the first of the year.

Mr. Bro�ti�n introduced. Atessrs. Bob Olmstead and Cliff Ash from the Iiockey
Association. b4r. Olmst.ead stated tllat they were there to discuss several problen�s
re�ardino hockey before the season staxts. Ile saicl that one of the things they
tivere conci:r.ned taitl� �<<as having the house league officials registered �,�ith M.A.H.A.
Mr. Blair stated that ?�e felt t}iat a clinic sLould be held for tlle o£ficials, �s
tllere are c?ifferent rules betGaeen AI.A.ti.A. and II.A.F. Mr. Wagar asked ho►a the
rules differecl and Tir. Asli replieci tliat they vary. T9r. Peterson said tve should
tell the kids that next year there �vill l�e a clinic and they have to attenu.
Mr. Kasick said L-hat it �,�as too late to tal<e the test now. }le said that it took
G- 8 weeks to get the test taken care of. Dir. Bro�ti�n mentioned.that the test
was not manclatory, but that a good percentage of the officials joined on their
ow�1. r4r. Ash e::plained that it too}: as long as the kid wanted it to; it could
be as s}io��t as t�ti�o wc.eks, b1r. Bro►en stated that �,�e have all the applications
in our ofiicc.
r9r. Olristcad said tlla.t they were �,-o�lder.ing if it would be possible f_or L-hem
to take thc test so that ev�ryone knows tlie rules they are under. Mr. Ash said
that thc xc�ason thi.s i.s a good idea is because some of the referees go by
}iigh sc}iool. rules, other.s t�y r1.}].L, at�d some uil�er b1.A.1�.A. , and the rules are
diff-ercilt. }le �•u�ic: that. tliey felt tlic best �vay to be sure tliat they }iad consistent
refereein< <;ould be if all the fello�as took the r1.A.fI.A. test and are registcred.
lie s<<icl Lhat it onlv cost $5.00. Mr. l3arris said t}iat actually it is the A.H.A.
test. �9r. 13ro�,�n replied that it tvas done. through h(.A.II.A.
�9r. �'eterson said that he felt the Parks and Recrcation Department would be
puttinF; the���scl��es into a bind ii tliey tdould rec�uire certification this year, due
to tlic lateiicss oi� tlic season, lle as}:ccl �lr. Brotian ���lizt 11e thoug}it of telli�i�; the
kids t.liis year. that they �,-oulcl }iave to attend a clinic or tliey toouldn't Ue allo�aed
to referee, ancl ��ork toi.�arcl certification for next year. D1r. Bro�vn ielt that this
woulcl be a goocl icic�a. IIe said that �ir. llowarci or tlie Ilockey Association coulcl put
on a clinic. lle saici th��t if: you tell tiie:n tlir.y sliould or must attcncl, tlicy usually

h1r. Blai.r menticned tliat ti�e have a capy o� the test. t3e said that at the
clinic they go through the test and the book also. Ile said that then neYt year
we can have tlie kids go througli t}ie certification process. D1r. Peterson asked
Ptr. Olmstead if_ he ielt that this �+�ould be satisfactory, because of. the time of
the season 11oi��. �ir. Olmstead sai.d tllat he could see that t}Zis miglit be a problem
bufi that t]ley are not jtist iaorried about this year. That would be fi�ie to get it

b9r. Iiarris stated that as long as we are going to do this he felt that those
who tiaish to take the i.est may do so. He said that i£ i_t's not available to get
the cer.tification on the ciay they referee they've got the first of January or
February to �;et it t.aken care o�. .I�9r. Peterson said t}�.at at least ��re ��rill have
set up a tt��o stage requirement so t3iat the kids ivill kriow �,�hat the requirements
are. They'll knola that they have to attend a clinic this yeax and be cer.tified
next year. �
Mr. I31air asked if there �ti�as any further discussion, Mr. Kasick asked if
, this t��ould be pi�blicizeci in the Fri.dley Sun, b4z. Brown replied that it would be.
T4r. Ol.msteacl �,�as asked to pass the word around also.
' Air. �4'<^.gar asked lio�,• n�any house ga:nes it�ere sclieduled i.ndoo�°s. ' D1r. Olmstead
replied that it ���ill vary because they had it all laid out a.nd i.hen they lost 51
hours at i�orthla�lc3 �aith the second sheet of ice. He said tliat they are going to
, �;ive tlie>>i some practi.ce time and the rest of the indoor ice time tvill be for
tlieir g<iries. �!e said a ballpark figure of any�,�Iiere from 2 to 4 games will be
for eac11 team.
, D9r. Olmstea�l also bxouglit up the �act that. they axe concerned about the
�;aalie ecluipment for the teams. 1ie said th�.t there might Ue ttao games in a row
where tliey �aerc lucky enougll to get a block of_ t�ao hours, but it might be the
' same Saturday at another arella. I-ie said that the ttao sets of goalie ec�uipment might
not stxetcll too far. He said that of cotirse they run into size differeiice
there also. It might be a Sc�uir.t and it might be a i3anta�n.

Mr. 131air asked Air. Bro���n if he i��oulcl have any problem supplying the Hockey
Associatioi� ti,�ith goalie ec�uipment at ��ictory Dtcmorial Arena. r1r. 13ro�Jn replied
that therc is a probleru in that iae only have so inan�� sets of ec�uipatent, and
tahe�i t}lere is a �luplicatioil durin� tlie season, it becomes aLnost impossiUle to
service two r'inks at thc same ]iour, fle said tlien he would have to pull equip-
ment from sonie ri.n}: tliat maybe a team is practicing on aiid L}lell t}iey're pro-
viding no goal.ic equipment.
Mr. f3lair asked �1r. Olmstead if these games taere playecl on the we.ekend.
Mr, Olmstead replied tliat most oi' them woulcl be, Uut TlOt all.
Mr. Brot.�n said that basically the equipment is for the rink, not the
practice, we are supposed to have a set for every cage. 1-le said L-hat the
'
'
,
i �

majority of the use of tlie ri.nk i.s for practice, however. He said this is �ahere
the kids try out t}le goalie equipment, wlien tlley are aloiie a�ld not in front of the
coach. •
b9r. I3ro�a�i asked hir. Olmstead if this duplication will ]Zappen very often and
' Mr. Olmstead repliecl tliat it �,�ouldn't be that often. IIe sa�_d tliat they could
help themselves a little in obtaining some spare goali.e sets.
�I''
�
Mr. Blair asked A1r. Olmstead to get i.n touch with Paul if there is a conflict.
Mr. Peterson asked A1r. Olmstead if he could arrange the schedule so that he �aould
have t►��o sets of the samc age bracket playi�lg at tlle same time xather than 4 sets
for the same bracket. Mr. Olmstead indicated t}iat thi.s could be arranged.
Mr. Brown asked D1r. Olmsteacl basi_cal.ly wllat they i,�anted the City to do for.
' them. T1r. Olmstead replied that they needed to kno�ti< <Jhat they could plan olt f.or
sure. ASr. �3roti�,�n told him that �ae }iad four sets of goalie equipme�it. bir. Olm-
stead saicl he �,�oulci like to be able to come and pick it u�� �ahen he needed it and
, then drop it off. Ite sai.d t}iat they did t.hat a few times last year. Mr. Bro►,�n
ntentioned that that was probably during the playoffs.
'
�'I�
Mr. Broian said they woul.d lilce to provide fotir sets of goalie equipment
but tllat it is all at the rinks. 1ie said tlia.t any extra tlie�� may liave had was at
the Comrioils and thai ti�as only one or two sets at the most. He said that other�aise
there �aas one set ror eacli cage, at tlie rinl:s. r�ir. Brown saici t}Iat they ►vould
glaaly work it otzt i,�itll i�1r. Olmstead as best ihey can. :
Mr. Ash mentioned that if they lose the ice at one arena and have to move to
, another, they can't tal:e the equipr.ient wi.t�i tl�em, ther.efore they..have no equip-
ment to use. (the right size) He said this had happened several times last year.
Mr. Broi��n explained that the City cannot provide a set of each size for each rink.
� He said that the t9arming liouse Ati.eridants ]iave stric� orders not to give out the
�goalie equipment t.o anyone.
Mr. Olmstead asked I�9r. 13roian if: each of t}ie five llirectors would be able to
' )iave souie kiiid oi a card si_griecl by I�4r. Bro�an, �ahic]i �aould e�iable tllem to sign out
a goal set. D4r. I3ro�,m replied that he �aould like to get four sets of equipment
a.nd l:eep it at City Ilall. to be checkecl out. Ele sai.d that it �aoulcln't necessarily
' ha��e to be the L�irectors. }-�e said that the llirectors could ha.ve control of. t}ie cards
to insure that the equipment ti,�as brought back each time. T'he equip�nent kiould have
to be back tlie follo�,�iri� day.

A9x. Olmstead brought up another problem. He explained that if there is a
cancelled house lcague �ame on Saturday and the team would like to make it up
o�i �1o�i�i;zy, and timc is of the essence, t}iey would like perr,tission to call tlie
head refcrec and }iave it reschedulecl. h1r. Ash explained zn instance would be
when it was too colcl to play on Saturclay and they hacl practice timc on Atonday,
they woulc.l be using their own time anyway. Ile said that if they have"to wait
until I�tonday to contact anyone to get referees, etc. it gets to Ue too late,
and it woulcl be Il1UCI1 mare convenicTit if tlic llirector could rescl�eclule t}ie game
without ta};ing somcone else's ice. 1le could then get in touch with Uon Ilowarci
o�i the ���eekend, w}io in turn ti�ould get tlie referees lined up for Dlo�iday, and this

T9r. Bro���n advi.sed h1r. Howard that they were discussing the possiUility of
the H.A.F. Directors being able to reschedule caricelled games witliout ]Iaving to
gei in touch �aitli him, t�ecause sometimes it takes 10 to 14 days to get the game
reschedulecl, because of the way we handle it. lle said th�t we ���ere mentioning
for example, iahere a team �voul�i lose a game on Saturda�r and �ti�ould like to play
on A4onday. He said tlie�� ivere recommending a set policy.
' A1r. Olmstea.d said that basi.cally the way it ��rould i,�ork t��ould be that
gencrally they can get in touch saith Don lIoward 1V1t�11.11 an hour or two, and if
he could provide the officials, they could ieschedule �he game and get in touch

Chuc}: Kasick askeci if the gir.ls �,�ere going to play broo.nUall at Flanery
again and also at Rice Cree}: this year. IIe also wanted to kno�, if it was going
to be on Saturday or at night. Fob Olmstead replied that he had scheduled it
tentatively at both places for practice ancl games. bSr. Kasick said that the
girls get cold ancl he wou]d prefer for ihem to play there, �ahere there was a
i,lar�ni.�io house. Also he felt that. it ti,�as sa.fcr for skaters not to play on broom-

didn't seem t.00 co�icerned abouY the girls not having a warming house. D1rs.

Mr. }:asi c1; stat-ed that for tlie boys' safety, the girls shoulcl only be at rlanery.
He said they doil't �ieed to go to any otlier place.

D4r. liaxris mentioned tlie fact that t}iere is no iaarming house Uecause there

Afr. Brown mentioned that the City Gouncil said three years ago that there was

D1r. Harris saicl that he felt that barri_ng �,=eathex, etc. the ice is not as
gaod if you don't have a program oi niglit floocli.ng. I-le said tha.t he had been
over t}iere at 3:00 in Lhe after�loon wlien tlicy �,Iere flooding, a�zd it was aUsolu-
Lely a ti��aste of time taitli the temperature at 30° _32°, IIe said it ti,�ould be al--
rigllt i.f you could keep everybocly off tlie ice �or another 2-3 hours until it had
a chance to sct up.
h1r. Dahlberg said that the Ci_ty of Bloomington has 80 pieces of ice, and they
' £lood them in 5 hours using tan}:er trucks. He said usi��g hoses.is just too'slow
and time consuming. 1�e saicl that �ae slioulci consicler updating our equipment.
, He sai.d that last year BloominUto�1 had 8 t�ao-man crews and the best they could

Mr. Harris asked if that meant he could flood from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. every
night and have it all done with one piece of- equipme�it. D4r. Dalilberg replied
th��t if ��ou are concerned about the cost, tliis is a piece of equipment that iaould
probably pa.y for. itself in the long rwi. . :
' A4x. Dalllber.g said that tlie ��1ay Bloomi.ngton sold tlieir Couilcil on buying the
eqtiipme�it wlieii they con��erted 8 years ago, was to run a study on it (and they are
still continuinb the studies). He said it cost ttie�n 8 years ago �5.00/1000 gallons
of tlater (this is �ti�ith the hose carryi.ng met-hod) ; as of. last year, with labor
costs going up, etc., they �aere doti�n to �1.50/1000, plas they have increased their
rinks. He said that they have ne��� equipment ordered, and they hope to get it
dotvn to �1..00/1000 gallons, wliich is puiting a lot of watcr down taith a minimwn

tliey have �0 rinks, an�l tliey use mult:i-shifts.
Mr. Harris mentioned that ��re used to flood at n�ght a few years ago. Mr. Brotan
said that �ti�e taere i.n overtime then. IIc said the men reported to the garage at
9:00 }�.m. atia by tlic time tlley �ot out on a rink it was �:30 p.m., then tliey went

that you nced to have four.
Afr. 1�'a�ar said that lle krould like to see the f.loocting done at night. Mr.

taJkin� ice conclitio�is aiicl t��e're talking volume. He ex��lained that with the
prese»t setup the.y have the�r still can't keep up i,iith them 100%. He said that by
cuttiiiU tlle creie in half and putting them on night shift still doesn't give you
more coverage, you'r.e still fallin� betli�id, bir. Peterson said tlzat it gave you
more efficient coverage because you�:- flood:ing is more effective. I-le said that
wlicn yeu flood in t}ie dayti.r�e and it's not effective, you }iaven't accomplis}led
anyth:ing for the nian hours, so you've spent man hours and accomplished nothing.
He said that at least �Fou're using your mari }iours ]llOSt eifectively b}� flooding

sliould Tiot have to call. the City Council about any problems that the Park Board
has. Ile s�3.id that this i.s in regard to thc girl.s. I�e said that any time a referee
does�l't go according to the people's �vishes, a councilman is called, taho is turn

good enough for thc people.
Mr. Kasi.cl; said that the referecs that ��e had this ycar, in his estimation,
were excellent. }ie said that they occasionally made some Ulwlders, but for the
most �art did an excellcnt job, fie said that we are not paying for high school
or collc�c refcrecs, but rcfcrees from our own City.
A1r. Kasi.ck said that Don Blair will no lon�er refcree girls flag� ball, and he

A9r. Kasick sai.d that when the}� seY up this program three years ago, he made it
so t�hat thc girls could w�clerstand the game, so that tahen they did go up to high
scliooJ. tlley would know ��hat the�� k�ere doing. }-le sa.id �ti�e need to get the parents to

sa.id that if t}ie }� . Y. F� . A. i s goi�i� to bc sporlsorinb it and tllere are problems, then
t:hose ���ho are res7�onsi.ble in F.Y.F.�. should be zppearing in front of the Commission
too, iil terms of f:i�ldi�Ig otzt what tlle problems are and ta]:ing care of them. t�fr.
1to��<<ird said that. iie felt the impoxtant t}iing �aas to run a cl.inic and you make it
mandatory for your c.oaches anrt offici.als to be there. Ttr. I3ro��i�i said t.hat you need
to �et a col�y of all t}ie rules to all the }:ids and they can ta}:e them home to their
parents to read. He felt that was the prol�lem.
r4r. Kasick stated tllat thrce years a�o �vhen he started this program, tlie o�lly
t}�ijlg the F.Y.I�.A. did t��as 1:o bac}: him wii_h money. He said he dici most of his work
with M1ir. rroi,�n. I�e saicl th.�t this year it �ti�as turned over to the Association and
he has never seen so many probl.ems. }-Ie said that he, as a citizen, would like to
have tlie Parlc t3oard let the City Cou�icil k�iow about the problems.
' Mr. I3roi�.n mentioned that when you do have a city administration and council
type major situation, you'vc got L-hese pa.r.ticular inputs. People aren't going to
be happy �aith everythinh and they'Il go to the City Council and they're going to
respond, becausc they're elected by the people, and whei:her i,e agree or not, they
' have the ribht to do tha.t.

Mrs. Caldwell asked if it would be advisable to have a clinic on Satuxday for
the parents. Tir. Kasicic explained to her i.hat it is difficult to get the parents
to Uring their kids to the game. A1r. Bro�,�ii said tliat �ve hope to reach the parents
by givi�ig a copy of t}le rules t-o t}ie girls, who in turn can take'it home to tlleir
parents to r. eacl . .

DATE: Tuesday evening, Dec. 10, 1974
RE: North Park Development Coord.
Nasim:
Because of an attack of te�donitis in my lumbardorsal area I have been
unabie to be at work yet this week. I plan to try sitting upright (being
at work) for half-a-day on Wednesday.
I have contacted all local school distxicts and am awaiting the appointment
of several more liaisons before scheduling a preliminary meeting of school
representatives, probably around Dec. 18.
Also, attached to this memo is a copy of a mailing�I issued on Dec. 3 to all
the recipients of your North Park resolution letters of Nov. 21 and 26. To
da�e I have received only three replies and am awaiting others. I will
attempt to contact the organizations not replying by Fxiday, Dec. 13, and
the respondents by, Wednesday, Dec. 18.
, Thank you.

Dec. 10 Memo Update
Nasim:
As of noon, Dec. 13, I have received 6 of 60 questionaires mailed to
the recipients of your letter concerning the North Park resolution.
Four more organizations have been:reached by telephone but wish to
wait until their next meetings before mak��ig any decisions concerning
cooperation and selection of a representative. Most of the civic
organizations are operating at a low key at Christmas time and have
been very hard to contact.
The city managers of Coon Rapids, Columbia Heights, and Brooklyn
Center have been contacted regarding their interest in involvement.
All but Brooklyn Center are interested to some degree. Also, at
my request, School Districts 1i,13,I4. and 16 have designated liaisons
and a meeting will be held with them about Dec. 19. I will also
attend a meeting of the directors o£ the metropolitan area nature centers
on Dec. 30.
It now looks as if it will be after the first of the year before all
oxganizations will have had time to make their desired committments
to our development planning. January should bring the most productive
meetings with the plan being form alized the first week in February.

OTHERS PF.ESENT:
Bill Gerads, Jan Thomas, Bob Lee, and Joe Schommer
John Lilly, Gharles H. Corlett, Paul Cardinal
Vern Moen opened the meeting at �.:39 p.m.
�,
J
Mr. Boardman intr�duced Mr. John Lilly fram the Department of Natural Resnurces,
Trail section. Mr. Lil1y explained the bike program at State Leval, funded through
shared use of snocamobile gasoline t�es of whiGh there is only about $150,000 ear
marked bike trail funding. There is already tcaice as many �equests for this money
that can be funded. This �oney is granted for a11 phases of bikeway development
including acquisition, construction, and maintenance at a 65% State - 35% municipal
shared cost.
They are trying to �.ncrease funds available for trail development through the
State Legislature and are setting up their Metropolitan area trail system in
which only tho�e portions of trails in municipalities which are in support of
the system can be funded. This system should he ready to present to the State
Legislature at next years session. Mr. Lil�y also stated that on any funded
trail section, they �aould :3istribute signs and posts free of charge.
Mr. Moen asked if any stan.dards had been set up by the State for the construction
of bike��ays. Mr. Lil.ly said that they were in the process of ckoing that now.
He sa�d that it will closely follow the State af California design guidelines
cahich he noticed that Mr. Boardman had. A short disctission followed on the
development of the Fridley system and how it related to the StaCe Development.
Mr. i,oardman then introduced Mr. Corlett an3 Mr. Cardinal from the New Brighton
Parks and Recreation Department. t�r. Corlett explained the system that they used
in New Bri�hton to the cammittee. He explained that the system that they had set
up was simply a bike routing in which the bic�cles used si�r.ed s�reets. He said
that this wasn't the most desirable type of system, but it did serve its purpose
in connec�.in� sctiools, parks, and shopping areas. Mrs. Papke asked if he felt
sidewalks were necessary in residential areas for trails. Mr. Corlett stated
that it would deper_d on the type of traffic you would experience but in most
cases he felt that it would not. Rfte� a short discussion it was decided that
t�e best trail connectors could come at North Insbruck Drive, Gardena Avenue,
Mississippi Street, and Rice Creek.
' Mr. Boardman presented a map showing automobile traff ic counts that had been
done this summer along the designated trails. The counts as presented are
vehicles per hour over that portion of the day traveled most heavily by bicycles.
' The Committee suggested that standards be set at the next meeting that will give
them a quantifiable way of estaUlishing the type af system that would be needed.
Mr. Boardman suggested that this be not established on count alone, but other
' fa�tors such as anticipated..bike use, location to schools, etc. be used in setting
up standards.

Mrs. Papke said she was against the use of sidewalks arbitrarily along the
bike lanes and said that criteria regarding how sidewalks can be determined
should also be set up. A short discu�sion on how sidewalks will affect the
overall plan was held.
Mr. Boardman stated that this committee was ta look at both phases of pedestrian
transportation including walkways as well as bikeways. He said that he would
hate to see the bikeways defeated merely on a sidewalk controversy. He f elt
that a sidewalk plan should be set up whi.ch could closely relate to �vhat they
were planning in a bikeway, however, it could be set up in a separate section
of the plan booklet.
Vern Moen suggested that because of the lateness of the meeting that further
discussion can be talcen up at the next meeting. He suggested that the next
meeting be scheduled for Dec�cnber 4, 1974. He said that he realized this was
not one of the scheduled meetin�s �ut the time table set up for this project
was very demanding and needed all of the time the conunittee could give it.
Mr. Boardman suggested that the committee should hold its own series of public
hearings before a final plan is sent to the City Council for their review. He
said that this would not only zelieve some of the burden put on the Council, but
will serve to better inform the City residents as to cohat the plan is and to
voice their objections to those people on the committee who represent them.
It will also provide an opportunity for the committee to make revisions that
they feel are necessary after the hearing in order to make it a more acceptable
plan.
The next meeting was scheduled fnr December 4, 1974. Mr. Moen. adjourned the
meeting at 10:05 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

CITIZEN BIKEWAY CON�"IITTEE
December 4, 1974
MEMBERS PRESENT: Vern Moen, Bette Papke, Dennis Schneider, Jerry Boardman,
Jan Thomas, Lee Houck, and Bobbi Spaeth
MEMBERS ABSENT: Joe Schommer, Bob Les, and BiII Gerads
Chairman Vern Moen opened the meeting at 7:33 p.m.
Jerry Boardman suggested the com:nittee set up some criteria for the type of
bikeways they have set up, and for the ty�e of bikeways that are required or
needed in the future. These criteria can be based on traffic counts, on moderate
bicycle use, or projected bicycle use. 'Vern Mo�a� added that this could be done
in proximity with the schools, parks, and public centers.
10
' Mr. Boardman presented a plan ior the propasal of a 5-year sidewalk improveraent
program. Mr. Boardman explained that before the committee was set up, it was
planned to have a bicycle route with sidewallcs a11 along the route, subject to
change. T1lustrations on the plan indicated where the Engineering Department
, felt sidewalks were needed. The school districts had suvmitted their recomznendations
on sidewalks a1so. Jerry Boardma.n felt it would be a good idea to have a separ�:�e
section in the plan for the bikeway.system and the walkway system. Bette Papke
' asked cahat the cost would be for the construction of a sidewalk in front of an
owners home. Mr. Boardman stated it would be approximately $7 a linear foot.
If the sidewalk was proposed wi�h the bikeway plan, Mr. Boardman explained
' it would be a general cost to the City and not the property owner. Mrs. Papke
expressed her concern with cost to the elderly and the reti?�ed people in the
community arzd how this would affect them.
' Jan Thomas said the only street in her area where she felt a.sidewalk was needed
was Osborne, She anticipated in the future that Old Cen�ral might need a sidewalk
but did not feel it was necessary at the present tim�o Mro Boardman recommended
� it be proposed in the p1an, and �u11ed a� a Iater sta�e if necessaryo Further
discussion was held on the need for sidewalks a.n certain areas of the Cityo
' Jerry Boardman suggested setting up a meetin.g date with the Bikeway Committee,
Parks and Recreation, and Planning Commission, so the committee may obtain some
of their input into the system a1so, The commitfiee set up two tentative dates
for the joint meetin�; January 6 and Jarniary 13. A decision wi11 be made before
, that time when to hold the meeting. Mr, Boardman said he hoped the Engineering
Department could come up with a cost estimate before the next meeting.
'
'
'
'
�
Mr. Boardman said the committee would have to deal with some of the legal aspects
of the system such as recommendations in changing some of the ordinances for a
safe system, Mr. Boardman said he wou�d check with the City Attorney on this
matter.
Mr. Boardma.n said he had gathered some criteria for classification: Class 3-
bike route (less than 140 motor �rehicles per hour, residential character, relatively
low volume bicycle traffic). Class 2- lane (more than 140 motor vehicles per hour
or less than 600 motor vehicles per hour, relatively high volume bike traffic,
cannector of traffic generators). Class 1- path (separate completely from auto
traffic if more than 600 motor vehicles per hour or part of a park system or
scenic route system).

MOTION B.Y DENNIS SCHNEIDER TO ACCEPT THB THPEE DESCRIPTIOVS AS OUTLINED.
Seconded by Bobbi Spaeth. Upon a voice vore, the motion carried unanimously,
SXDEWALK PLAN
The committee studied Ct�e color coded map of existing sidewalks in the City and
sidewalks t� be put in next sum�ner. Mr. Moen said the committee should keep
in mind connection points throughout the establishment of the bi��eway/walkway
system.
' Vern Moen suggested setting up some preliminary stages in sett�ng up criteria.
3an Thomas felt the first areas to be c�nsidered should be the more dangerous
areas. Mr. Boardman emphasized that one ot the goals of t�ie committee was to
' proaide for a sa�e access to pedestrians and bicyclists. They must consider
providing an access to a11 school recreation areas and majbr traffic generators.
' Various additions and changes were mad� on the map indicating where sidewalks
should be included in the p1an. The committee discussed the possibility of
having sidewalks put in near Moore Lake. They cauld either have a widened
sidewalk on one side of the street, or have si.dewalks cn both sides of the streei:.
' Mr. Boardman thought it best if they included this in the plan at the present
time,.and pull at- a later stage if necessary. Bette Papke did not agree with
this. She said she was quite concer.ned whether or not side�,=a11cs would be put
' in since she was representing this neighborhood and had spoken with many of
her n�ighbors who were o�posed to sidewalkso A lengttrj= discussion followed.
' MOTION BY LEE HOUCK TO CONTINUE THE SI_i�EkTALK PLAN ALL THE WAY AROUND MOORE LAKE.
Seconded by Denn.is Schneider. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried, Bette Papke

Vern Moen said he had received no repiy from the absent members who were sent
a letter in re�ard to their absence. Mr. Boardman said a letter would be sent
to Council requesting that these ;nembers be replaced. PSr. Moen thought it
important to have �ull representation,
Lee Houck asked whether there was a�ry communication from Burlington Railroad
yet? Mr. Boardman said he had received no further notice, but would check into it.
AD JOtJRN�'�NT
Vern Moen declared the meeting adjourned at 10:20 p.m. The next meeting will
be Wedr:esday, September 11. Jerry Boardman said he would have a breakdown of
the cost estimate at that meeting.

Paul Ero4•m, Director of Parks and Recreation
MEMO DA7E: Decernber 12, 1974
SUBJECT: Grace Hiyh School Addition Plat and Agreement
The attached correspondence was directed to us regarding a proposal �
from Grace High School for yranting of sidewalk easements and use of recreational
facilities in lieu of the reo,uired park fee.
Review of the present agreement for use of ice facilities at Grace High
School indicated a lack of a substantial comrnittment regarding the use of the
facilities over a definite period of time. i�lith the present agreement, a
request for the City ta vacate the facilities after a��ritten notice nf 30 days
would have to be horored. 7his would result in the elim7nation of a recrea�ion-
a] facility in.�-rhich the residents in the area have come to rely. The proposa]
which indicates a five year agr�ement with appropriate renewal clauses togzther
with the use of the tennis facilities and consideration of the lease for addi-
tional land for nature interpretation offers recreational facilities required
to justify a�,�aiving of ihe park fee.
The comments regarding the dedication of sidewalk easements a��ere reviewed
in regard� to recent recon�mendations for location of sidet�valks as determined
by the Qikeevay/Walkway Committee. At the presen� time it would be more
appropriate for the sidewalk to be constructed on the east side of Arthur Street
in order to provide proper access ta North Innsbrucfc Park.
The proposal to grant a five foot sidewalk easement on the arest side of
Matterhorn Drive in lieu of the east is reasonable since it is unlikely that
sidewalk would be installed on both sides of the street. '
In view of the forgoing it is requested that the attached agreement be
considered by the City Council at the regular meeting of December 16, 1974.
It is recommended that the Council approve the execution of the agreement,
waive th� required park fee in lieu of the agreement and approve the final plat.

recreation needs the City has. It's a case of getting what you pay
for. If we just want a basic armory, it is not going to pr.ovide the
things that vari�us members of the City staff said they would like
to have in this armory.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said his feeling was that if-this armory proposal
goes through, people would have the illusion that we were solving
our indoor recreation �x9blems., and he didn't think we were. He
said l0 years from now when Fridley might be looking for a building
for indoor recreation, he didn't want people to say they thought this
was why we had an armory. •
Mr. Lindblad said he agrees with Mr. Fitzpatrick. He said the
people he has talked to are thinking of an armory as some sort of
civic center, and no matter what you tell them on what the armory
will provide, they will still think they are getting something else.
.
, Mr. Harris asked Mr. Lindblad if he felt we wern't getting our
dollar v4lue out of �his building? Mr. Lindblad said he felt we were
get�ing our dollar value, but he still�felt people have a misconception
on what facilities could be provided by an armory without the cost
' �being much higher that what we have been talking abaut at this meeting.
Mr. Harris asked�if anyone thought the people would be willing
' to pay for what they want. Mr. Lindb].ad said no. Chairman Fitzpat�ick
said that if they were, we would already have an indoor facility for
' recreational purposes.
UPON A F.OLL CALL VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION, HARRIS,�AYE,
LINDBLAD, NAY, DRIGANS, �IYE, FITZPATRICK, ABSTAINING, THE MOTION
CARRIED. '
Chairman Fitzpatrick said he abs�.ained because he was not
convinced that this will provide what we want it to provide, Until
negotiations continue, until there is a Public Hearing by the Council,
and after we know in more detail what this will be, he felt he was
not ready to r_econunend that Council take favorable action. To recommen�
to Council they they consider it and pursue it, he had no objection .
to that. He said he thought the Planning Commission has done what
the Council asked them to do. We have made a recommendafion, along
with the time schedule and cost. "" -- -�--

Planning Commission Meeting - May 8, 1974 Page 13_ ll C
Mr. Clark said this item was before the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee on May 1, 1974. A1ong with the
approval of �his request, there were five stipulations. The f�.£th
s.tipulation is about an easement for a bike-way and walkway. The
pres�nt bikeway-walkway plan that is being considered by the Council
in the Comprehensive Park Pl.an, the bike-way is not in this location
at all. It goes up Ar_thur Street past the A-frame building in the
park. As we probably canforesee sidewalks in this area, in the future,
this should be changed to a sidewalk easement on the.East side of
Matterhorn Drive, the South side of Gardena and the West side of
Arthur Street. �
' Mr. Clark said the Archdiocese of St. Paul is platting all the
. land they own. Block 1 is �ahere Grace High School and their recreation
facilities are located. Across from Matterhorn Drive, they are
' platting 14 R-1 lots. Matterhorn does bend, so the depth of these
lots vary from 143 feet deep on the North to 330 feet deep on the South.
These lots back up tre lots that face Tennison.
'
J
'

�
Chairman Fitzp�trick asked why there was no requirement for park
dedication? ,h1r_.__C.�ark.,.said_that at�t��.�preseni: tim�,��the Gi_ty is,
,..,_ ._.,.....�.._._....s....
using recreational facilities of Grace Fiic�h School., such as the
`hockey`rinl:,~ ���:L�'��v..and__���"�-'�.et��r`te: I� was felt that because
of �his situation, the park dedication shoul.d be waived. P�Ir. Fitz-
patrick asked about the developer of the R-1 lots. Mr. Clark said
this was owned by the Archdio���se of St. Paul also..
Mr. Clark went thraugh the five stipulations of the Plats & Sub-
divisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommittee.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Clark if there was any problem of any of
these lots being unbuildable as far as elevatians. Mr. Clark said
the pla� was a little higher in the South and some of this could be
brought up to the North portion of the plat, otherwise the lots were
quite f lat. �
Chairman Fitzpatrick asked if Grace High Schoal used all the
property East of Matterhorn. Mr. Clark said they did.
, Mr. Fitzpatrick asked if Matterhorn Drive was completed. Mr.
Clark said it was and that vras part of the rea�on for this plat,
because of the special assessments, so they could sell this portion
, of the pr.operty. .
,
'
�
' '
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Clark to,explaa.n about the utilities and
drainage again.
Mr. Clark said they have asked for.an Engineering profile on
this plat, so it could be determined if the drainage from this plat
could be surface drainage to the street, or_ if ther.e was a need �or
a storm sewer. He said that Mr. Julius stated at the meeting of May
lst tliat Nor.thwestern Bell had already contacted him about changing
the utilities on this plat, and as the telephone and electric lines are
usually on th� same pole, this should mean that all the utilities would
be underground.
.
�
,
'
'
'
Planning Commission Meeting - May 8, 1974 Page 14 �-1.F
Mr. Drigans asked if this meant that all the utilities would
be underground in this area. Mr. Clark said that the utilities are
already-underground in innsbruck. In a new development, there is
no cost for underground uti.lities, but if the existing facilities
are converted to underground, then there is a cost. There is no
problem of going from overhead to underground utilities from one
area to another.
Mr. Frank Caputa, 5841 Tennison Drive, said there will be no
access to his back yard with the development of this plat. Mr.
Clark said that was correct, that there were not very many places
in Fridley where there is back yard access.
Mr. Gary Johns, 5832 Tennison Drive, asked if these lots were
' , going to be used for one family dwellings or if they would be rezoned.
Mr. Clark said this is being platted a R-1 lots and there has been
no request for rezoning.
�
,
,
�
,
,
,
'
�
,
Mr. Julius said they had no intention of rezoning this property.
There were just interested in selling it, but this taas difficult to
do without it being platted. , _• .
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Julius if this would be sold to one developer.
Mr. Julius said this was the preference.
Mrs. Joanne Elwell, 5866 Hackmann Avenue N.E., asked how much in
the fu�ure these sidewalks would be put in. She said she has chil.dren
who walk to school in this area, and would like to see the sidewalks
put in. Mr. Clark said that as far. as this plat is concerned, all c•�e
are asking for is dedication of the right of way for sidewalks so they
would have the right of way when they want to put sidewalks in.
MOTION by Harris, seconed by Lindblad, that the Planning Commission
close the Public Hearing on fne request for a prelimary p1at, P.S. #74-02
Grace High School Addition, by Jerome Julius. Upon a voice vote, a11
voting aye, the mation carried unanimousZy. .
DSr. Drigans asked Mr. Clark it this plat met all the requirements?
Mr. Clark said we haven't go�ten the Enqineering profile yet or
obtained the sidewalk easement, but the lots do meet the size require-
ments and water and sewer, and the streets were in. �
Mr. Drigans said these are quite large lots. Mr. Fitzpatrick
said the ].ots South of this pTat are quite large also. Mr. Julius
said he thought this area could'be compared with Innsbruck and they
wanted the lots to be this large. _ .
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Lindblad., that the Planning Commission
recommend-to Council"approva? of the preliminary plat, P.S. N74-02,
Grace iligh School Addition, by Jerome N. Julius, a replat of the South-
'west Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 24, and that part of
the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quaxter of Section 24, excep�
that part already platted as Parkview Manor and Parkview Heights
Addition, generally known as the Grace High School property, South of
Gardena Avenue, with the following stipulation's:

4. PUBLIC HEAP.ING: REQUEST FOR 1� SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #74-06, BY
GEF.ALD L. BLOi�I5: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.051, 2, A,
to allow construction of a second accessory building on Lot 5,
Block 3, Parkview Manor, the same being 5845 Hackmann Avenue N.E.
Mr. Gerald Bloms was present.
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Harris, that the Planning Commissior�
waive the reading of the Public Hearing notice on the request for a
Special Use Perrimi t, SP �{74-06, by Gerald L. Bloins. Upon a voice vote,
a12 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bloms said he wanted to build a detached 22 ft. x 2� ft.
garage in his back yard. He has a single attached garage and this
is too small. He has a car, pick-up truck, boat, 2 snowmob�les and
other things to store, and he needs this garage for storage of these
items.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked how much room he has on the side of his
, house for a driveway for this garage. Mr. Bloms said he�thought he
had 14 feet. Mr. Clark said the survey shows he has 12 feet, but this
' was enough room for a single driveway. .
�
�
Mr. Bloms said the garage would have the same exterior as his
house.
Mr. George Rapaich, 5858 Hackmann Avenue N.E., said his question
was whether this second garaqe was going to be used for storage, or
' if it was going to be used for mechanical work. He said he wouldn't
want to see cars sitting in the street o� mechanical work going on
late at night. Mr. Bloms said he works.on his own car when it was
necessary, but he has no intention of working on other people's cars.
Mr. Harris asked the petitioner why he was placing this garage
so iar back on the lot. Mr. Bloms said he had some trees he wanted
to save and it wouldn't take so much.o£ his back yard at this location.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Bloms if he was the original owner of the

Dear 5RA Member:
�f .
As you know, effective January 1, 1975, the r7innesota Public
Service Commission will assume jurisdiction of rate regulation of
public utilities in Minnesota, including Minneapolis Gas Company.
The uniform franchises our members have granted the Gas Company will
remain in effect, but the rate regulation features of them and the
SRA regulatory system will no longer be in effect.
The SRA Board of Directors has been considering the question
of the future role of the organization for the past months and,
after much deliberation, has come to the conclusion that it is
desirable that the organization remain in existence and that its
functions be somewhat modified to recognize the changed regulatory
system. .
1�t its regular meeting on October 16, 1974, the SRA Board adopted
a set of recommendations to the membership for reorganization of
the SRA. These are attached in enclosure rdo. l. In essence the
Board recommends that the SRA be continued, its activities broadened
to include electric utilities, its membership opened to any municipality
in the metropolitan area, and that its prime role be one of general
oversight and monitoring of gas'and electric utility services and max-
imum input' into the rate-making proceedings of the-Public Service
Commission.
. e: � ...:
-� Please note that the Soard's recommendations are only recommen-
dations; the final decision as to participation rests w ti h each
municipal council. There was a general consensus, however, that
the primary reasons far continuance were as �ollows: �
1. The two most critical rate filings to come to the PSC
. will be the first NSP filing and the first Minneapolis
Gas Co. filing which undoubtedly caill be made soon after
January l, 1975. The PSC decision in these filings will
set the pattern for future rate-setting anc� establish.
the basic principles for future rate-setting.
2. The S12A is an on-going organization, with funds avail-
able to it, enabling it to actively and effectively
participate in these initial PSC determinations.�
I

�
'

•'
, .

�
< '
3. A critical question for SRA Members is the disposition
of funds in the Minneapolis Gas Co. overage account
established under the existing uniform franchise. It
is essential that this account be properly recognized
in rates established for SRA mer.ibers.
4. The same need for cooperative activity in presenting the
municipal point of view to the PSC exists as ex�sted in
d�aling with Minneapolis Gas Co.
5. Unless SRA broadens-its activities to cover electric
utilities there will be no effective joint municipal
voice in electric rate matt�rs before the P5C.
There are a number of other reasons for continuance, many of
which are quite obvious to you; but they are best summed up by saying
that joint and cooperative action in a field as complex as utility
regulation is more effective than individual effort. I think the
history of the SRA's success demonstrates that fact.
The Board directed the attorney to draft a new agreement embodying
• the principles set farth in its recommendations. .The agreement and
model authorizing resolution are attached in �nclosure No. 2. As the
agreemen� is drawn the reorganized SRA will come into existence when
seven of the present menbers file the necessary documents. (Under
the present agr.eement, seven'is the minimum number necessary for the
contirivance.of the organization:) Any member choosing not be par-
ticipate in�the.new organization will be entitled to a pro rata share
of SRA assets as provided in the present agreement.
�
I know the council will give serious consideration to continuing
�the SRA, arid I sincerely hope that�it will be continued. Because
time is short, the Board requ'ested that action be.taken prior to
December l, if possible, so �that necessary�arrangements for shiftirig
to the new�organization can be accomplished by J�nuary 1, 1975.
'Council action by motion or resolution indicating intent to participate
and c.ommunicated to me or Mr. L�eFevere by letter will be sufficient,

, of Directors on October 16, 1974:
Recommendations
I' The Board of Directors recommends the SRA be reor ani
g zed
according to the following principles: '
�
�
. '
i
I
1. Scope�af Activity: The Authority should broaden
its activities to specificall_y cover gas and electric utilities
including the authority to appear before the Public Service
Commission on behalf of its members.. It should be authorized
to extend its activities to other public utility matters by an
extraordinary majority vote of 750 of its members. While
service levels and rates are no longer subjeCt to its juris-
diction, the Authority would have an important role to play
in input and liaison with the PSC, cooperative effort in
uniform franchi'se ordinances, and reseaLCh and investiqation
into utility rate- and service matters. .
� 2. Nature of Oraanization: The Authority ��ould continue
as a joint powers organization. Because.its functiom is
changing somewhat and there�is a possible need to permit�othe'r
municipalities to join, it is recommended that a new agreement
be prepared and executed.by members, with membership open to
any municipality in the Metro Area. � ���
� 3. Status of Present.Members: Any present member not.�
wishing to participate in the, ne�a brganization would be
entitl.ed to a return of its pro rata share of SRI� assets in .
accordance with the p�esent�agreement:�• . ' � � •' :
• 4. •Financing: Adequate fu�ds are available for operation
. during calendar year 1975 and perhaps longer, Thereafter, �•
financing would be from annual contributions from.�members and•
possibly special contribut�.ons fr�m members for extraordinary
costs (e. g.�rate studies, appearances before PSC •etc.} based
on ari equitable formula under the present agreement.
5. �Representation: Representation on the Board of
Directors of the Authority should be related directly to '
,population of inet;��ers with a minimum and maximum limit on
voting strength. It is recommended that each member have at
least one vote and no member have more than'20 votes.
6. Time Frame: It is recommended that the new organi-
zation be formed. as of January l, 1975.

Suggested Electric Franchise
Enclosure N
At the request of some SRA members, and at the direction of the
Executive Board of SRA, we have reviewed the proposed franchise�
which rias been sent to municipalities whose franchises with the
Ct�mpan�� have expired or are about to expire. NSP also contacted
us for our comments on the proposed franchise.
,After a series of conferences with the Company a number of changes
in the original franchise were agreed upon and are embodied in the
enclosed draft franchise. The SRA Board of Directars has instructed
� us to :�end the new draft to members for their consideration.
The pr:Lncipal changes made in'the original Company franchise were:
� l; The addition of language specifically recognizing the
rights of municipalities to exercise al.l rights conferred
by the new public utility regu].ation law. Laws 1974,
' Chapter 429.
2;i The addition of language recognizing the rights of munici-
� palities to participate in a joint powers organization
such as SRA or a successor organization.
3;1 A number of language changes conforming to th� Metro Rate
'- Authority franchise previously negotiated with the
Company.
t It sho�.zld be noted that the Company is not in complete agreemer�t with
the ne�� draft ordinance. Specifically, the Company feels the follow-
ing changes should be made:
' 1) In Section 11, line 7, the last clause should read "in
proceedings before any agency having jurisdiction in
� the municipality ovex any aspect of Company's operations
relating to electric rates or service."
2) In Section 7, add the phrase "and the Company shall no
I, longer be subject thereto.°
�
�
'
The Executive Committee felt these changes should not be made.

The fozmat of the franchise will; of course, have to be adapted to
' meet in,dividual city charter xequirements.
We hope this new draft is of assistance to those of you who are
negotia.ting a new franchise with the Company.

CITY OF FRIDLEY
MEMORANDUM
T0: NASIP1 ^1. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER, AND CITY COUNCIL
FROP1: MARUIN C. BRUNSELL, ASST. CITY MGR./FIN. DIR,
SUBJECT: DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
DATE: DECEMBER 4, 1974
The attached resolution would authorize the execution of a cantract
for a Deferred Compensation Plan with the Internat�onal City Management
Association. S?veral �1inriesota communities, and many other communiti�s
throughout the United States presently have such an arrangement with
ICMA.
Although the City is technically the contracting agent with ICMA, no
City funds are involved in this program. Contributions would be
voluntary on the part of the employee, and no contribution to the plan
is contemnlated at this time or in the foreseeable future by the City.
The only stake the City has in the plan is a minimal amount of
administrative expense in setting the plan up initially and forwarding
the monthly deductions to ICMA.
The advantage of the plan to the employee is that the employee is able
to set asi�e a specified amount each month or each payday, which would
be tax free until such time as the funds are paid to the employee.
This would normally be on separation from service with the City or at
retirement, There are restrictions on the withdrawal of funds from the
plan.

MEMO DATE: Uecember 12, 1974
RE: Requested R�solution From the Corn.�unity on
Community llevelopment Act Fundinq Possibilities
�
This past year the Department of Housing and Redevelopment
I (HUD) streamlined its funding system by establi.shing a Community
D�velopment B1ock Gr.ant Program in which all of the funds for any
community deJelopment pzojects are placed under one grant program.
Theze ar� presently 1.4 milliori dollars available ta those cammuni-
' ties (190) iri th� metro area und�r 50,000 popul.at:ion and not coverecl
by formula entitlement funds and hold harmless desi_gnation.
� Because o� the limited amount of funds available and the
desire to spr�ad these funds around m�re, a c�xoup of area plann�rs
and adninistrators met on Uctober 9, 1974 and formed an Ad Hoc
1 Steering Conunitte� to investiqate the intcresi. amon.g� the 190 eligible
local_ uni-�s of government in participating 9.n a cancerted cooperative
approach to grant application.
,
,
�
'
�
The intent behind the program would be to provide an equal
allocation of £unds to thse interested communities so they can
lay the ground work for furtl�er funding activity when more money
b�comes available in th� following fiscal years. •
The Ad Hoc Co_nmittee is requesting that those communities who
are iriterested in participating in il�ze efforts of the cam.mi.ttee
submit a letter of intent and a resolution agreeing to give further
considera-tion to any reconunendations formulated by the committee with
the endorsement af a community represen�ative designat�d under the
resolution.
This seems to me like an ideal way o.f laying the ground work
on a housing and com.r�unity developmen� program which will be needed
in the near future. .

(SI�?SA} , of w�icn. the seven County P2etropol.itan Area is a
� part. P;IorQ s�eciiir.all}�, there are �,rell over 190 governmental
units which i�ay be eligible. For fiscal year :1976, the
situatuian improves somewha-t with 5.1 zni11ion dollars in
funds programe� to be allacated.
� . In response tc� this dilenLm�, a. group of concerned ar,ea
planners and city administrai�ors is attempting t� determine
the amount of interest at the local. gotTernmental level in
� the recently passed I�ousinc� and Conununity Developmen� Act.
Although not officially recognized n�r enpcwered to
administor any portion of the fun�s, th� group is seeking to
, answer �he question, "Can eliaik�le recipients oi HUD block
grants, collectively agre� to an. all.ocati.on plan or will
they be willing �o resort to utilizing set procedures
� established under_ the old cat.egarical grant programs."
Many, communities may find themselves cot�peting for.the
same federal dollars an�. in the �.LOC�JJ commi�ting limited
staff resources to co�n�l�ting the necessary paper work.
, What the group is attemptir.g to do is to spread the limited
federat dollars further whi.le concur_rently proviciing a
resource for assistance in submitting app�acatior_s.
, However, before we pursue t.his ques�ion any further,
let us briefly review the chain of evenis which lead to the
group's formation.
� In Au�ust of this year, Congress and the President
signed th�� �ct. It is a departure from traditianal federal
funding of municipal development by consolidating several
, existing programs for co�munity develo�ment into a single
program of bloc;: grants. As thE� narne i.mplies, the Act will
require recipients of funds to coramit themselves to the
pravisions of low and moderate :income housing. Enclosed is
� a sum.mary of th� main provision of the Act, estimated amount
. of funds to be made available and community activities
eligible for funding.
' What may be of par_ticular imgortance to communities
such as yours is the provision for Sr�SA Discretionary
Balancc, Funrls. These essentially are funds cohich wiil be
' made av�ilable to communities n�t eligible for Formula
I:ntitlernent or Ilolcl Harmless.desic3nation.

Becaus� of the limited amount (at the outset) of
discretianary funds available for grants, a concern has be�n
raised ds to:
v
�
�
ir�hat is �n equitablc� and sensible means of allocating
discretionary funds? •
Is it p�ssible to progr.am the allacation of these
func�s so that more cam�-nunities can particpat�?
o What can be done to simplify applications to ensure
equal opportunity to comnunities regardless of
. s�a�f ar�d other resources?
As a m°ans of bringing t��se concern� into proper per-
specLive a:�d possibl1 to formulate alternative �pproaches, a
group of are� planners and administrators net �n October 9th
to discuss th°se issues. P7hat evolved :Erom this initial
session �aas to create an AD HOC Steering Comz�ittee who's
charge was to investigate these issues and define reasonable
alterna-tiv� approaches to be presented to the group at a
later c1a �e .
As ParL of this effort, the Steering Cammittee has
solicitPd th� support of the Local Planning Assistance
section oi th° Nietropolitan Counc?1 in an attempt to determine
how mar_y �oca1 uni.�s of government utill be i_nter�sted �.n

We are the attorneys representing The Home Insurance
Company with respec-� �o the policy of insurance which said
insurance company had in eff�ct for the City of Fridley at
the time of the facts giving ris� to the above-entitled
lawsuit. A copy of the Summons and Complaint which has

has been forwarded to us for deiense by The Home Insurance
Company. As Mr. Herrick knows by my telephone conversation
with him of Wednesday, December 4, 1974, there are certain
mattera alleged in the p7.aintiff`s Complaint which may not
fall ��ithin the liability coverage of The Home Insurance Com-
pany policy for the City of Fridley. The Complaint in the
above-entiiled lawsuit appears to se�k recovery on grounds
of negligence as well as trespass, and possibly other theories
of recovery.
The Home Insurance Company believes that only those alle-
gations contained in the Complaint alleging or claiming negli-
gence on the part of the City of Fridley would be covered
within its policy of insurance. Once the full facts are
known in this case, there may thus be grounds or basis for
