Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone on the Counci7 who wished to comment on this area.
Councilman Starwalt recalled when this area was originally reviewed for platting,
there had been some questions and concerns voiced hy the area property owners, but
these problems had been solved satisfactorily at the present time. He said he had
no ob�eciion to the plat and he had not recetved calls from anyone who ob,7ected.
Mr. Thielman said he was concerned about the road. Mr. Sobiech explained this had
not been taken care of at the present time because the deve7oper wanted fina7 approval
on the plat before negoiiating for this parcel.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1974 PAGE 3
Mayor Lieb1 asked the Ward Councilman, Mr. Starwalt if he had any questions on the
improvement.
Councilman Starwalt mentioned the installation of the storm sewer in this a�^ea and
concurred w�th the fee7ings of Mr. Sobiech that no eiaborate storm sewer system
would be needed in this area because of the nature of the elevations and composition
of the gravel and sandy conditions of the area. He also pointed out when the surrounding
area was developed, this allowed for future drainage of these additions, He thought '
the area would be drained adequately because of the construction of the proper slopes.
Mrs. Arel again addressed the Council and asked if this improvement would affect
her property and Mr. Sobiech said he did not believe so, but asked Mr. Herrmann to
confirm this statement. Mr. Herrmann stated that the Arel property would not be
affected.
Councilman Utter referred the Council's attention to the list of those being affected
by the improvement and asked why Charles R9ce was on the lis�, He recalled that those
in his area were all opposed to the extension of 61st in this area. Councilman Utter
stated, Mr. Rice did not want to split his property and he did not see how Charles
Rice could be affected by this, and explained he had a number of ineetings and had
spent many hours out there and those people were opposed, Counci7man Utter said he
believed the benefit was being received by the people four lots to the north of the
Rice property. He said this did not make any sense to him that Mr. Rice was listed
on the assessment roll.
The City Manager said t�ie current hearing is an improvement hearing and there would
be an assessment hearing when the improvements had been compleied and matiers such
as, who should be assessed, and who would benefit, would be appropriate at that time.
He said if the property owner would not 6enefit, the City could not assess him. He
continued to explain at the current hearing, it was to be d�scussed �f whether or
noi the improvements should be �nstalled, and this other matier could be taken up at
another time. He said he thought the point made by Councilman Utter was well iaken ,
and should have some special consideration at the time of the assessment hearing.
Mr. Thielman said he saw on the map on the projector that there was a red line on his
property. He questioned if there was to be any improvements on his property and
said he had been told that there would not be at this time. The Public Works Director
said eventually there would be improvements on this portion of property. The City
manager further explained that this current process would clear this area legally
for the installation process. He pointed out that there would be no need to hold a
hearing on this process. He pointed out that there would be no need to hold a hearing
on this parcel at the time the improvements are requested.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to close the Pub]ic Hearing. Seconded by Councilman
Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
unanimously and the Public Hearing closed at 8:02 P.Ni.
PUBLI
AND
PROJECT ST. 1975-7 AND ST. 1975-2
RECEIVING PETITION N0. 19-1974 - OPPOSING THE INSTALLATION OF CURBING aN CAPITAL STREET:
The Public Works D�rector commented on the street improvement policy and said those
listed under this project are those who are proposed for improvement in 1975. He
continued to point out that the street �mprovement in the City began in 1969 and '
this was for several reasons such as the reduction of street maintenance and to
get rid of the swale back type of street which are deing patched al7 summer.
Mr. Sobiech explained that of the 100 miles of roadway in the City of Fridley, only
nine miles of these roadways are not completed at the present time. He further
commented that this was a ten year improvement project and is to be completed by
1978. These improvements consist of cur bing and asphalt mat. Mr. Sobiech said
all of the Ctty streets at the onset of the program, were scheduled for improvement
at a set time or year, but there had been sor�e changes in this schedule. Specif�cally,
he noted that there are some streets within this project that had been scheduled for
tmprovement in 1970 and 1971. He further pointed out because of the inflationary
spiral, in 1970, 70th Way was proposed for improvement at $13.30 per foot and in 1975
this cost is estimated at $17.16 per front foot. Another street had previously
been proposed for improvement at $14.90 and now would also be $17.16 Mr. Sobiech
��9
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1974 PAGE 4
said they were trying to stay within the schedule and keep the cost of this type
of improvement as low as possible.
Mr. Sobiech explained that those streets listed in the group ST. 1975-7 would be
36 feet wide and those in the grouping of ST. 1975-2 (MSAS) would be state aid
streets which would obtain aid and have specifications set by the Minnesota High-
� way Department. He further explained in these cases, the roadway would be wider
and have an increased capacity for tonage, there would be no additional cost �o
the residents of the areas, they would pay the same as those 7iving on the resident-
ial streets in the other grouping.
ST. 1975-1:
BENNET7 DRIVE: 7TH STREET TO QUINCY STREET.
The Public Works �irector said this improvement had noi been officially petitioned
for, but he had received calls request�ng that this 6e done at this time.
Mr. Sobiech informed the Counci7 and udience that the cost for the front foot
assessment would be $17.16 per foot and the side yard assessment would be $3.82 per
foot.
Mayor Lie61 asked if there was anyone present from this area that wanted to make
any comments.
Mr. Fred Olson, 6390 Monroe, addressed the Council and asked the method of assessment
on his property and said he favored �he improvement.
Mr. Marvin Trehus, 6380 Quincy, questioned the method of assessment on his lot
on Benneit Drive with an address on Quincy.
� Mr. Herrmann said he would be assessed for an average amount of front footage computed
by the average lot size of the area, and the additional footage would 6e divided
into thirds and he would only be assessed for one third of the remainder of the
front at the side yard raie or, $3.82 per foot.
Mr. Trehus said he had 155 feet of front yard on the curve. Mr. Herrmann said he
would be assessed a front foot assessment f�r approximate7y 80 feet w�th the
balance divided as mentioned previous7y leaving an approximate amount of 25 feet
to be assessed on the side yard. Mr. Herrmann said the additional 50 feet would
be assessed to those down the streei to the half block mark at the side yard
rate.
Mayor Liebl asked the Assessor if it would be possi6le to send the gentleman a
letter informing him of what the amount of his assessments would be. Mr. Trehus
said he would call the Assessor the followiny day to obtarn this information.
WASHINGTON STREE7: 63RD RUENUE TO BENNETT �RIVE:
Mayor Liebi asked if there were any questions, pro or con concerning this section of
proposed improvement and there was no response.
JEFFERSON STREET: 63RD TO BENNETT DRIVE:
Mayor Lieb7 said the cost would be the same in this area.
� Mr. Frank Barnard, 6301 Jefferson questioned the method of assessment on his property.
The Finance Director said the assessment policy should be read to the people present.
Mayor Liebl read this policy to the Council and audience.
A resident of the area questioned what would happen to the trees in the area.
The Public Works Director pointed out the trees which may be affected by this
improvement unless the grade would prevent th�s. He stated this may be a total
of four trees. Again, he explained that this would depend on the final elevations
and they may not have to iake the trees.

64TH AVENUE: VAN BUREN STREET TO ABLE STREET:

VAN BUREN: CAROL DRIVE TO MISSISSIPPI STREET:
Mr. D. E. �aba, 6325 Van Buren questioned how much his assessments would be and
the Assessor gave him approximate amounts on this, according to his footage of
front and side yards.
Mr. Saba asked how soon these assessments would be applied. Mayor Liebl explained
that this would 6e about nine months after the improvements had been completed.
The Finance Director briefly explained the City's assessment policy for the payment
of such assessments on improvements.
The City Manager said the point should be made that the City does try to obtain
the bids for such improvements during the winter months when the contractors
are anxious for work, rather than in the spring and summer months when the rates
would be higher. He said he hoped that this project would be bid in the winter.
Mr. Barnard, 6301 Van Buren asked if it would be necessary to tear the old street
out and asked if this would be used for the base.
The Public Works Director said this would depend on the final grade and if there
would be proper drainage with the existing street�sed as a base, this would be
done.
Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone present who was opposed to the improvement
of Uan Buren and there was no response.
CAROL DRIVE: WEST MOORE LAKE �RIVE TO ABLE STREET:

instaliation of the improvement. He added, his neighbors share his fee7ings.
Mr. vanDan said th�s area is p7atted as Moore Lake Highlands and as the name
indicates, it does consist of highlands and drains well. He said in 1965 both the
Mayor at that time, Mr. Nee, and the City Eng9neer agreed that there was no
problems in the drainage of the area.
Mr. vanDan continued to state that he had lived in Minneapolis before moving to
Fridley and there were curbs there, he said he did not think there was a need for
cement and stone, he would rather have grass. He poin�ed out if the street were
hot patched rather than cold patched, and the grade polished so there are no
bumps, this would be a good street.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING �F OCTOBER 27, 1974 PAGE 6
Mr. Ron Bardal, 6220 Baker Avenue, agreed with the points made by Mr. vanDan and
said he would like the street hot patched and would not want curbing.
Another resident of the area addressed the Council and expressed the feeling that
he thought the street was in bad repair and would favor the improvemen�.
Mayor Liebl called for a show of hands of those for and against the improvement
and stated that the two sides were evenly matched according to the show of hands.
TAYLOR: 64TH AVENUE TO MISSISSIPPI STREET:
Mayor Liebl explained that this again, would be the same price with the same
assessments and asked if there were any questions.
Mrs. Yvette Miskowic, 6401 Taylor Street, said she ltved on the corner of 64th and
Taylor and asked how she would be assessed for the �mprovement.
A resident of the area asked the cost of the improvement without the curb and only
the blacktop. He said he objected to the curbing and said he did not think 7t
necessary if there is no sidewalk,
Mayor Liebl said if there is no curbing, there would be no improvement of the street.
He called on the Public Works �irector to explain ihis process. Mr. Sobiech
explained that without the curbing, the water wouid eventually get under the
edges of the street and wash it away.
Another restdent of the area asked tf this would be a gradual or sharp curb. The
Public Works Director explained this would he according to the State Highway
Department specifications B-618, and would be a sharper type except in the drive-
way cut out areas. The resident asked why some areas have the gradual sloping curbs.
Mr. Sobiech satd this is in the areas where the street and curb was installed before
the placement of the driveway has been established. He added, this is done to
eliminate the need to cut out the driveway opening in the future.
Mr. �onald L. Menke addressed the Council stating he resided at 701 Bennett drive
and in 1961 when they blew out the sewer system, the City replaced the portion
of his drtveway which was cemen� with asphalt. Mr. Menke said he had not pushed
that at the time because when the water was put in this could be replaced in
cement as it originally was. The Public Works Director sa�d he would check into
this and see what had to be done.
64TH AVENUE: BAKER AVENUE TO HIGHWAY #65 SERUICE �RIVE.
Mayor Liebl asked if there were any questions on this portion and there was no response.
HIGHWAY #65 SERVICE ROAD: WEST MOORE LAKE DRIVE TO 64TH AVENUE:
The Assessor said this area would be higher in price or $28.76 a front foot and
$4.07 for the side yard assessments. Mayor Lieb7 said this is because only
one side of the street can be assessed.
MADISON STREET: 57TH AVENUE TO HELENE PLACE:
There were no questions concerning this portion of the improvement.
CAPITAL STREET: HUGHES AVENUE TO MAIN STREET:
Mayor Liebl said this had been deleted at one time from another project.
The Public Works �irector said this assessment wou7d be the same as the residential
streets, or $17.16 for the front foot and $3.82 for the side yard assessments.
Mr. Oliver Olson, 5237 Capital Street, addressed the Counci7 and questioned the price
of the improvements and asked how they came up with the price of $17 per foot, and
said he thought this was way out of line. He explained that this type of improvement
is being done in the area of $600 for the amount of feet in this case and questioned
where the $1,100, or additional $500 would come from.
The Public Works Director explained that the estimates were based on the 1974 prices
and to make sure they would be correct, they had added 10% to 15% to the existing
construction costs because of the inflation spiral. He said there are also charges
that would have to take care of the legal and financial portions of the improvement
����

project. Mr. Sobiech said the project'would be let �o the 7ow bidder.

Mr. Olson said he had a petition to present to the Council in opposition to the
improvement of Capital Street.
Mayor Liebl said it would be in order to receive the petttion.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to receive Petition #i9-7974 in opposition to the
installation of curbing on Cap7tal Street. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl said the people would not want the improvements installed if the sanitary
sewer is not functioning properly. He also stated there are some problems with the
storm sewer.
The City Manager said he would appreciate it if the people would call City Hall when
they encounter problems, He explained that it was last year that he first heard
there were any problems in this area. He said the next time there is a prob7em,
the people should place a call.
Mrs. Olson said the drainage is always slow, they would not call for this. 5he
explained her husband had purchased the equipment to do the cleaning of the drains
and this had just been done ihe prevtous Monday. She further added, the water is
not back�ng up into the house, it is just draining slowly,
Mayor Liebl said if there is not adequate service in the area the Council would not
take action to install the street.
Mr. Nick Garaffa, 6549 Anoka Street N. E., addressed the Council and said with the
high cost of materials such as food, why can't the Council postpone the improvement
of streets for one year to get a clear picture of the facts concerning the economy.
He questioned with the current state of the economy if the people could handle the
additional cost of living and assessments, this may drive the people from their
homes.
Councilman Breider said he wou7d like to answer Mr. Olson's questions. He said the
Counci] had previous7y made the decision that they would not instal7 the street
improvements until the sewer pro6lems in the area are taken care of. He stated the
people indicate that the sewer has not been fixed to this point. Ne further stated
he could not see the Counc�7 taking any action to complete the improvement until this
problem is corrected. He said he for one would not favor the improvement.
The City Manager said the Administration would come up with the appropriate solution
and said he hoped that the problems could be taken care of. He said after this,
the people would be willing to put in the proper improvements.

63RD AVENUE: 7TH STREET TO MONROE STREET:
Mr. Norlan Lee, 644 63rd Avenue said he opposed the improvement.
PAGE 8
� The Public Works Director said this portion of the project would be that which is
called State Aid which would mean that the streets would be constructed to meet
certain standards which would make the roadway handle 9 tons of axel weight and
be from 40 to 44 feet wide. He said there would be more base material than in the
normal residential streets. He continued to explain this is done in areas that may
at some time have more traffic, but this does not mean that the streets would
eventually become a thoroughfare, or a trunk highway. He said it ,7ust means that
these streets could handle more traffic, but not necessarily would.
Mrs. Miskowic asked if the telephone poles had to be moved, what would their
placement be.
The Pub7ic Works Director said they would be set back if this is the case. He
said he doubted if any would have to be moved back more than three to five feet.
He said he did not think that this would be necessary on any of the residential
streets.

� Mr. �ohn Foster, 6285 Able Street, addressed the Council and said he felt the same
way about the improvements as expressed earlier by Mr. vanDan, the water has no
irouble draining from the area and the street could be repaired by the use of hot
patches.

� The CZty Manager said the portion that is right of way is already paved to provide
needed access. He said there is no proposal to do anything w�th the section at
the present time. He said only one half of the right of way has been obtained and
this is more like an alley than a roadway.
Mr. Carl Paulson asked why 57th Place had been sidetracked.

Mayor Lieb] said there are 13 stipulation in the minutes of the Subcommittee.
The City Manager said these are the Council's stipulations that had been approved
with the issuance of the special use permit. He said the Administration would
be negotiating with the Hospital for the lease of some property on the southeast
corner of the property.
� Mayor Liebl said the City is not buying the ]and, but only leasing it. The
City Attorney sa�d there are restrictions against selling the land, it must be
leased by the City.
Councilman Breider questioned the City Manager asking if it was his intent to
hold up the building permit unti7 some agreemeni is reached on the lease of the
property. He said he would want it understood that this was not to be done.
The City Manager said he had talked to Mr. Haines from the Hospital that day
and he had said he felt this could be worked out.
Councilman Breider satd he felt this construction was very good for the City
and would work out very well. He said he did not want the building permit to
be held up because of the agreement on the park. He asked if this was understood.
Mayor Liebl said he agreed with Councilman Breider's remarks.
MOTION by Councilman to concur in the request with the 14 stipulations. Seconded
by Counci7man Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared
the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO ALLOW THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MOBILE
SALES SITE: LOCATED ON THE WESTERLY 329.3 FEET OF THE SOUTHEAST
� I,UUItI� IVtW ISIt1liF11UIVa NII1VIVtJUIH bbllYJ:
The Public Works Director said he had re+diewed this matter and the stipulations
with the staff. He said it was their opinion with the amount of landscaping and
b7acktop that had been done, it would 6e their recommendation that a performance
bond be provided by the applicant for this work. He said if this work is not
done after a certain amount of time, the City would be able to complete the work
and charge it to the bond.
Mayor Liebl asked if this could be done with a written agreement rather than
the performance bond. He asked Mr. Michael Rotter if it would be feasi6le with him.
Mr. Rotter commented he would furnish an agreement in writting.
Coiancilman Starwalt asked Mr. Sobiech if he recommended a two year period of time
and Mr. Sobiech said he would like this time to be concurrent with the time allotment
in the stipulations.
Mr. Rotter explained that he would like some act�on to enable him to begin prepar-
ation for the final agreement on the property. He said this had noi been leased
at the present time because he was waiting for approval of the Special Use Permit.
He said he would not begin this winter, he would plan to do this work in the
spring months.
Mayor Liebl expressed the feeling that the Special Use Permit is only effective
� for three years and with the stipulations, this would be a great expenditure for
this short period of time.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the Special Use Permit with the 13 stipu-
lations as recommended by the Planning Commission and that a signed agreement be
furnished for the completion of the landscaping and b7acktopping of the area.
The City Manager said everyone else in the CIty has been required to furnish
a performance bond, this is a requirement of the Ciiy's ordinances. He said it
would be the Council's prerogative to waive this requirement in this case.
SECONDED by Councilman Utter.
Councilman Breider asked when the starting date of the usage of the Special
Use Permit would be. He stated if the business would not be operational until
next spring, this would be some wasted time if the permit were granted at the present
time.

Mr. Rotter answered he would ask for the 5pecial Use Permit to start upon
signing of the lease, he asked if this would be feasible.
The City Manager again expressed the view that the performance bond is required
by ordinance within the City Code zoning requirements.
The City Attorney said the Council should stipwlate the amount of the bond. �
The City Attorney said this should be in the amount of the blackt�pping wnrk.
The Puhlic Works �irector said this would be approximately $1,000 to $1,500.

$150.

Councilman Nee said he had looked at this area and the group of sites, and
all of them have problems. He said he was not prepared at the current meeting to
recommend any action. He further pointed out that all of the sites had some
objections from the neighbors, and some of the ob,7eciions were valid ones. He sited
as an example that on one of the lots the applicant would be able to purchase
another lot and build without a variance. He also pointed out that the lots had
been in a position where the adjoining property owners had wanted to buy them
to tncrease their own yards.
Councilman Nee said he would like to see the property owner try to sell the lots
to the ad,7acent property owners and come back after this time. He said he
thought some of the people were interested in this.
Mr, Bill Erickson, 650 Ely Street, said at the�ime when his home was bui7t, it
had been determined that it was only possible o build on a lot 75 feet in
widih and his bui7der had to plan accordingly. He voiced opposition to the qrant-
ing of the variances at this time to allow building on a 50 foot lot.
Mr. �ennis Barker, representative of North Ptetro Construction, said the people
had a chance to buy the lots for years. He thought they had used these lots
as part of their yards for years, free of charge.
Mrs. Edward Bishop, 121 Ely Street N. E., said she had called Mr. Barker last
year and asked if it was possible to purchase the lots and was told no.
The Public Works Dir.ector asked if this item is tabled, would this mean that
all five of the requests are tabled.
Councilman Nee said he would like the matter resolved within the neighborhood.
� He added, if the neighbors would not object, they would be sympathetic to the effort.
Councilman Nee asked if the applicant planned to build this year.
Mr. Barker said they had planned on building this year.
Councilman Nee suggested this item be brought hack in a month or so when the
plans may be resolved. He stated they would talk about this one month from the
present time.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to table any action on the request until a month from
the present time. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all v��ting

The City Attorney addressed the Counctl and said he had been asked for an opinion
from Mr. Brunsell on whether or not the CIty was required to obtain bids for this

of policy that bids be received, noi a legal requirement. He said he still believed
this to be a matter of a policy decision. He said it would be possible to negotiate
with a party or receive the 6ids.
Mayor Liebl asked if it would be possible to negotiate without going out for bids.
He asked if anyone would have an objection to this.

across town that would not be able to carry on this work. He said he would not
o6�ect to the negotiations with Shorty's Towing.

DISCUSSION CONCERNING RATES FOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION PARTICIPATION:
A representative of the Hockey Association addressed the Council and explained that
a rumor got started at the last year's banquet that the traveling team members
would have to pay $100 per person for participation in the program this year. He
proceeded to list the various mounting costs including that of the indoor ice
time which was determined to be the utmost in the rate increase. He concluded his
remarks stating, now, the estimate has been reduced to $85, butihis is still a
sizeable sum.
Councilman Breider brought up the fact that some of the boys had attended hockey
camp in the summer at additional expense. He questioned how much this had been.
Councilman Utter said it had cost his son $125 to attend the hockey camp.
Councilman Breider remarked that some fami7ies have two or three boys who want to
participate and at this price, it is impossible. He suggested the Counci7 make
an effort to obtain coniributions from the private enterprises in the area.
The representative said if a family cannot afford to send the boys to participate,
and if the boy is showing promise and can make the traveling team, the Association
will assist in the financial burden. He said they would not put a boy out because
, of finances. He said the B teams have a much lesser expense which would be in the
$10 range. Councilman Utter asked if the selling of subscriptions to Cable TV would
reduce the cost. The representative said this had been one of the considerations
in the estimated $85.
