from [�is knowledge of the content, he felt he would need some legal counsel on the
communication, The City Attorney indicated he had received a copy of the communication
just a few minutes before the meeting had been called to order and was not able to
read it thoroughly. He said he would need some time to research the questions
and requested that the Council grant this time. The City Attorney also indicated
that there were complex issues involved that had not been interpreted by the Attorney
General or the Courts.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETIN� OF FEBRUARY 3, 1975

He said there are also new statutes adopted by the 1974 Legislature which would
have to be considered.
Mr. Herrick further pointed out that it would have to be determined if the items
that had been cunsidered b; the Council in the past concerning the issuance of liquor
licenses would still be applicable. The City Attorney said in his mind there are
two statutes that are in conflict or confusing. He said he felt the City should
seek an opinion from the Attorney General on these points, not only as they apply
to this a?plication, but also future applications. He indicated there had been soma
question on the issuance of licenses and it had been determined that they would be
issued to hotels and restaurants. }le said the questiou would be, what is a restaurant?
He qnestioned if this could be a business that is engaged in some other type of activity,
but still qualifies for the liquor license. He feit these questions should be asked
the Attorney General. He said he would like this taken care of for this and future
license applications.
Mr. Wyman Smith, Attorney for Mr. Povli�tzke, addresse3 the Counci_I and indicated
he had included all of the necessary information in L-he memo suUmitted to the Council.
He questioned the delay concerning the issuance of the license saying this type of
delay had been used in the past with the Cable Television issue. He said the Council
may be repeating the sam� experience.
Mayor Nee asked if anyone on the Council would like to proceed in anyway at the
present time.
Council.wom.sn Kukowski said the letter from rir. Smith had not been forwarded to
her from the Post Office and she had not had a chance to read it. She indicated she
thought this would take som�= time.
Councilman Starw.slt agreed and mentioned the letter receive3 in regard to the
situation in Maplewood. He said both shouLd Ue taUled unti.l som,� legal research
is done.
MOTION by Counciiman Starwalt to table the considzration of the ]iquor license
application for the Frontier Club and refer the matter to the City Attorney fur

UPON A VOICE VOT�, all voti.ng aye, T4ayor Nee declare� the motion carried ununimously.
CONSID�RATION OF_SECOND READIN� OF AN ORDiNANCE AMGNDINr CHAPTER 603, IN'LOXICATING
LIQUOR: �'-- — --- — ----_---_._.__-- -------- ---------
Mayor Nee said a question had been raised by Mr. Savelkoul, Maple Lanes concerning
the proposed ordinance.
The City Attorney said he had just received the communication a few minutes
previously and had not read it.
Mayor Nee said maybe the item should be postponed until the City Attorney had a
chance to rzad the co;nmunication,
Mr. Savelkoul addressed the Council and referred to the memo he had submieted to
the Council and said he felt the information was self explanatory. Mr. Savelkoul
suggested that the basic decision of the Council to be wheCher or not to set up
absolute arUitrary sCandards. He questioned require:nent in dollar percentages
and asked how it would be possible to provide compliance,to this with no more and
no less promised. He also sLressed the importance of tlie Council establishing
consideration of the iss�ance of ehe individual licenses through Council discretion.
He used an example of this, that a business such as Maple Lanes had been in business
in the City of Fridley for 20 years and had not caused any problems. He asked
if it would be possible for the Council to insert some language in the proposed
ordinance which allow for this Council discretion. He mentioned the change in
the State Laws and felt the City should not deviate from the State La-as.
Mr. Savelkoul went into detail on the type and ]ocation of the competition that
is faced by the local bowling center with respect to the liquor sa'es. He pointed
out that there are many businesses that do house restaurants atong with other types
of business and this does not disqualify them as being a restaurant. He again asked
that the City not take an arbitrary approach and insist on the 40% of business
be done in food.

REGULAR CDUNCIL NL�ETING OF FEBRUARY 3, 1975 PAGE 3
Mayor Nee pointed out that the basic problem had stemmed from the time when
the p2ople of the City vote3 on the matter of whether or not to go to open liquor
sales such is done in the City of Minneapolis. He said this would allow for the
establishment of a tavern, club, etc., without the restaurant provision. Mayor
Nee said the p�ople had decided against this. He said tl�is question was possed
agai.n and the people indicated they would lilce liquor sales only in restaurants
snd hotels, and again re�ently the paople said they would support this in restaurants
and hotels, not taverns and lounges.
Mayor Nee said one aoplicant wss proposing a question stating the Council should
not have additionai discretion and another believes the Council discretion should
be increased.
Councilman Breider said the Co�lncil was trying to get some kind of a handle on
the issuance of the liquor licenses in the City and would not want anyone who wanted
a License to come in and create a City full of taverns. He said if this was not
restrict-ed in some manner alon� with the sale of food, this would happ�n. He
mentioned also it would be possible for an establishment to sell liquor and just
bring in entertainmant, etc. He said this may create a situation where the foo3
facilities .�re not used at all, but there would be taverns where the p,�ople can
pick up a hot dog,
Councilman Starw,slt asked Kr. Savelkoul what kind of time limit he was working
with. Mr. Savelkoul answered it would not be possible to begin any remodeling until
the spring months when the leagues would be comgleted, He said he would probably
begin construction in the s�ring with the hop� to open for the fall bowiing season.
Mr. Savelkoul suggested that the Council consider adding the wordage which he had
recommended in his m�amo to the Council within their ordinance. Mayor Nee said
he did not know if this language would be defensible. Mr. Saveikoul asked if
the City could conform to the State Law.
The City Attorney stated that the State Law caould allow f.or the issuance ot a
license if the establishmant could seaC from 30 to 50 people and be 900 square
feet, Mr, I�errick continued indicating the City Council want-s more than what
is required by the State Statutes. The City Attorney further pointed out that
if for some reason the conditions of the ordinance were to be waived, this would
have to be indicated for a goo3 and just cause and would have to be spelled out
in the ordinance. He said this matter would need careful consideration,
Mr. Savelkoul again stressed he did not believe Map1e Lanes should be hampere3
in the issuance of the license, He stated they had been in business in the City
for 20 years, and they did comply with the State Statutes. Mr. Savelkoul said
he believed the requirements put their business at a complicated disadvantage.

than what the City had offered, He further stated that this is the second phase
of the plan that had been discussed and approved the past year,
Mayor Nee asked if the plat had been considered to confo.rm to the plans for the
plat of Mr. 0'Bannon and the Public Works Director said yes.
' Councilman Starwalt made the point that he thouoht the developnent of the park
property in the middle of the d�velop�nent would make the area more plea;ing
for the develo�ar, Mr. Dropps sgain mentioned tkiat the best parcel of land was
being taken for the park.
,
'
The City Manage° informed the Council that the amount being otfered the developer
would not be the tu*_a1 p,ice for the piece of property, H� m�ntioned that the
City woald have to take care of the w�ter, sewer and sl-reet assessments on this
parcel in the future. He said this i. not the csse on the pxooerty to the east.
The City Manager s.�id he felt this to be a fair offer which was higher than the
amount indicated as value by a qualifie3 appraisor,
The City Attorney sugvested that if the parties involved d� not agree, this
will force the acquisition throu�h condemnation which would be �xpansive for
� all involved. He felt at this time, a compromise should be reached because
a legal struggle would be less favorable for botli parties.

TABLED DECEMBER 9 1974 :
MOTION by Councilman Breider to table the consideration of appointments to the
Citizen Bikeway Committee. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVING PETITION N0. 1-1975 - REQUESTING CHARTER AMENDMENT IN SECTIQN CONCERNING
COUNCIL VACANCIES: �
,
The City Manager, ;•1r. Nasim Qureshi, explained that the petitioners felt there
should be a special election for the filling of vacancies in t.he Council rather
than by Council appointment. He informed the Council that acc:arding to the report
prepared by the City Clerk, the petition does contain 5� of th�e registered voters
in the City and it is a valid petition. 7he City Manager saicl the petition had
been submitted to the Charter Commission and they in turn had submitted it to the
City. Mr. Qureshi referred to the report from;!the Chairman of the Charter Commission
and said the ->fficers of the Charter Commission had met with t;he circulating committee
of the petit�on. The City Manager advised the Council that the current action should
be to receive the petition.
The City Manager pointed out the Council's alternatives for ac:tion at this time
indicating one to be taking the petition under advisement and waiting for a
recorrmendation from the Charter Comnission. He said if there would be some agreement
and concurrance on a Charter Amendment between the circulating committee and the
members of the Charter Commission, this amendment could be submitted to the Council
and can be adopted by ordinance of the Council which would amend the City Charter.
He said the other altermative is that if this concurrence is i�ot reached between
the members of the Corr�nission and/or not adopted by the Councii the matter would
have to be put to a special election and have the citizens decide.
The City Manager again stated that if the matter does not reach agreement, this
would have to be put on the ballot and if this is the case the administration
should start preparing to put this on the ballot. kie mentioned if some agreement
is made concurrent to this process, the process can be stopped at any time.
Mayor Nee questioned if the City Attorney had prepared the time table submitted
to the Council that evening. The City Attorney said no. The City Manager stated
the Clerk's Office would need five to six weeks to prepare for a special election.
The City Attorney suggested he and the Finance Director get t.ogether and compTe
a time table for the necessary period of time and present this to the Counci] the
following week.
Councilman Breider said it appeared to him by the memo submit:ted by Mr. Sheridan that
the Commfssion and the circulating committee are in the process of reaching`some
agreement on the amendment. I�e S�1 if they can agree on some� workable wordage and
strike some compromise, why should the City spend the money a�nd print the ballot
as it will not be needed.
Mr.IQenneth Sporre, 301 Ironton, member of the circulating cornmittee, addressed ,
the Council and said he had not seen the 7etter submitted by the Chairman of the
Charter Commission, but he had met with the Officers of the f,harter Commission.
' He said the full commission would be meeting and considering the amendment on
the 14th of January. He mentioned there are some questions ��n the State Statutes
and they would have to be consistant with the Statutes and h�e will contact the
Attorney General on this matter.
hiayor Nee said he believed it would be in order to receive the communication.
concerning this item.

� the fourth Monday, when available, be us ed for a conference meeting which would
be an informal meeting held in the Community Room of City Hall. He suggested this
be in conference form between the Council, pub]ic and various Department Heads.
He felt that this would enable the citizens to have some dialogue with the City
Staff. Mayor Nee said at this proposed meeting, there would be no definitive action
, taken by the Council.
Mayor Nee said his idea would be that there would not be a formal agenda prepared
such as is done for the regular formal meetings. �•tayor Nee said he felt there are
some topics that need to be discussed with the correnunity and this would be in
a different dialogue than what is provided in the formal meeting structure. Mayor
Nee said the procedure could be established and if it seems to be fruitless, it
could be dropped at any time.
Councilman Breider said he assumed this would be published as a fourth meeting and
a conference session. Ne said the people could just come in with their topics and
if action is needed an the matters, it would be possible to place the item on the
next formal Council agenda.
Mayor Nee said in this manner, it would be possible to meet with the Boards and
i Commissions. He felt a need for having some dialogue with the members of the various
-' � Subcommittees.
��_

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 5
Councilman Breider said�he had talked to Mr. Wi7mes the precee��ing Saturday and
Mr. Wilmes had questioned if Mr. Dan Huff had sent out letters to the various
businesses concerning their involvement in the development of 'North Park. He said
he thought Mr. Wilmes was questioning whether or not the City had solicited for
funds for this development. Councilman Breider said, the letters were not solicitations
for funds, they were requests for information concerning the various businesses
becoming involved as an information gathering procedure.
t•1r. Wilmes questioned if this had been done for North Park, could it also be done
for the Islands of Peace.
Councilman Breider said the letters had been prepared as a resuli of a policy
decision on the part of the Council. Councilman Breider suggested if any further
maiiings are prepared of this type that the Is]ands of Peace b�e included in the fliers
also. He said if the City were to ask for potential help and funding he felt the
Islands of Peace should be included in the information and if anyone is interested,
they could send this information back to the foundation. Counci7man Breider said he
had thought about this concern some time after talking to Mr. Wilmes on Saturday and
he felt being there were two volunteer projects, and both could be mentioned in the
same mailing with no additional postage, the City might as well send out information
on both projects.
Mayor Nee said since this was not a regular agenda item that -it would be taken care
of later in the meeting. (Note: Action was taken later in the meeting.)

RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING
OF DECEMBER 19, 1975:
CONSIDERATION OF A RE
Y AND STOREROOM ADDITION LOCATED AT
The City Manager advised the Council that the Suilding Standards-Design Control
Subcommittee had recommended approval of the request with certain stipulations.
Councilman Breider questioned if the stipu7ations recommended were identical to
those required in the original bui7ding permit. The Public Works Director,
i•1r. Richard Sobiech, explained that the first fourteen are the same and the
fifteenth is an additional stipulation. He pointed out that this additional
stipulation suggested that the skyway be constructed with a 13 foot c]earance for
traffic. He mentioned that the traffic firom Osborne Road would enter the parking
area under the skyway.
Mayor Nee �s ked if the construction would be owned by the group of doctors or the
Hospital District.
A representative of the Hospital addressed the Council and said this construction
would be owned by the Hospital District, but in the future if this area would meet
the building and zoning requirements, it could be sold to the doctors. The •
representative informed the Council that he had a model of the proposed construction
along with the existing structure available at the present meeting. He proceeded
to point out all phases of the existing buildings and the proposed construction.
Councilman Starwalt questioned if the 13 foot clearance would allow for the access
and egress of the Fire Department ladder truck and Mr. Sobiech said yes.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the request contingent on the recommended
15 stipulations of the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee. Seconded
by Councilwoman Kukowski. (Note: This motion was amended later in the discussion.)
Mr. Richard Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, addressed the Council and questioned
the statement that the Doctors could purchase the construction within the present
zoning. The City Manager said the present construction would be allowed under
the R-1 zoning. He mentioned there had been some problems in the financing of
the construction and the facility is be�ng leased rather than sold outright.
The representative of the Hospital explained that on a portion of the property,
the construction could be sold to the doctors, but on another portion, the
construction would have to remain the property of the hospital district.
Mr. Harris questioned the minimum height of the overhead walkway stating that
for clearance for trucks in constructions such as bridges the minimum clearance
is 13.6 feet.to 14 feet. He thought this should really be a clearance of 14
feet.
Councilman Breider said he felt Mr. Harris had brought up a good point in that
there may be an error in judgement at some time and it would be possible for a
truck to take the incorrect route and become stuck under the skyway.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to amend the motion by changing the 15th stipulation
deleting the requirement for 13 feet of clearance and inserting the word "adequate"
clearance. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski.
Councilman Breider said he would not want to tell the applicant how to design
the construction, but he would not want a truck stuck under the skyway sometime
3n the future.
UPON A VOICE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimausly and the motion amended.
UPON A VOICE VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION AS AMENDED, all voting aye, Mayor Nee

stated they thought ihey should have a member of the Environmenta7 Quality Commission
seated as a voting member of the Planning Commission.
� Mayor Nee asked if the recommendation was in the proper form f��r the Council to take
action on the matter at the present meeting. 7he City Manager said the Commission
had not taken action in form of a formal motion of recommendation to the Council on
this matter, but the Council did have the authority to establish policy matters.
Mayor Nee suggested this be a matter that could be discussed at the fourth Monday
meeting.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the minutes of the Environmental Quality
Corr�nission Meeting of November 19, 1974. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE CABLE TELEVISION COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, i974:
Mayor Nee questioned if the material was the overview of the t.ime and production rates.
He asked if there was to be Council action at this time on the� suggested rates.
Mr. Tom Myhra, Cable Television Commission Member, addressed t:he Council and said
he was standing in.as representative of the Commission in the absence of Father
Ed. He�,�ointed out to the Council that there was an error in i;he minutes of the
Cable Commission in which they approve the rate schedule rather than recommend the
approval of the schedule to the Counci7.
Mayor Nee called on Mr. Schuster, 6eneral Tetevision, zo present an explanation of the
proposed rates. Mr. Schuster explained the various methods in which the studio and
equipment would be available to the public access taping. He felt the rates would
encourage the use of the facilities for public access and stated the proposed rates
to be very inexpensive, He also stated that studio A is a co1or studio and studio
B a black and white studio. Mr. Schuster explained within th�e requirements of the
franchise, General Television was cor�nitted to allowing anyome to use the facility
for a five minute time spot if this is requested. He further explained that this
would be free access to the black and white studio. Ile pointed out that they would
have to follow the regulations of the F. C. C. within this framework and not allow
any detrimental presentation. Mr. Schuster pointed out that the use of the black
and white studio had been extended for the time period of 30 minutes rather than the
five required. For groups the studio would be available for $30 per hour.
i�ayor Nee said the information presented does not include the fact that the free
a�ss time would be allowed up to 30 minutes rather than the 5 minutes required.
Mr. Schuster said they were in the process of preparing a booklet which would indicate
the usage available. He also explained that it was their thought that if the requests
for this free time would increase to the point where they wer�e no Tonger able to
provide the total 30 minutes, this would be decreased as nece�ssary without a firm
conviction on the 30 minute allowance. Mr. Schuster continued to explain that he
doubted if this situation would come to existance, but it would allow the Company
to back down from the additionai time if they cauld not handle the requests.
Mayor Nee questioned if studio B could be used for 30 minutes free for public
access and Mr. Schuster said yes, and after this time, the fEae for the use of the
studio would be $30 per hour.
Ptayor Nee asked if someone wanted to use studio B, would this include the camera
crew and the recording tape. Mr. Schuster said this would ii�clude the cameramen,
technican and tape. Mr. Schuster said the tapes that would l�e used in this process
would not be saved, but if someone wanted to buy the tape, it could be saved for
closed circuit viewing at a later date.

Schuster said this would be Channel 25. I�ir. Schuster pointed out that after this rate
schedule is esta6lished, General Te7evision would provide the public with workshops
on the use of the facilities without charge.
Mayor Nee asked if the air time is desired on Channel 3, would this result in a rate
schedule of $100 per hour. Mr. Schuster said yes. He said Chan�el 3 is the local
station and presently the air time s being presented as a public service, but eventually,
they hoped that this would be supported by advertising.
Mayor Nee commented that according to his experience, this was a low rate.
Councilman Breider questioned the amount of subscribers at the present time and Mr.
Schuster said approximately 175. Mr. Schuster continued to co�ent that he hoped
the number of subscribers would pick up rapidly and explained that it had been
difficult to obtain subscribers during the holidays. He said there had also been
some problems with the representatives of the HocKey Association having enough time
available for contacts during the holidays with their many other ohligations.

would be no rerouting of traffic for the construction period. He explained with the
use of federal funds in the project, it is necessary for the City to adopt the
statement that there would be no adverse effect on the recreational fac.ilities in the
area. Ne recormnended the action of the Council should be concurrent with the
statement to this effect on page 13-8 of the agenda. Mr. Sobiech said the Administration

adverse effects on the beach due to the construction. hle pointed out the area on the

discussed for the past ten months and Mr. Sobiech said yes. He said this was the
same plan that the Council had approved the preliminary plans for.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the actual construction would take place the following
construction season and Mr. Sobiech said yes.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975
PAGE 11
COMMUNICATIONS:
REAL PROPERTY SERVICES: USAGE OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDING AT 7900 MAIN STREET N. E.:
The Public Works Director explained the building to be located in the area North of
79th and West of Main Street. He said the representative of the Company, Mr. Peterson,
was present at the meeting if the Council had any questiQns co�ncerning the proposal.
h1r. Sobiech pointed out that the zoning in the area is industrial and the building
is a warehouse. He said the sales from the warehouse would be conducted on a Saturday
and Sunday and he felt that the proposed use of the building and operation would be
favorable to this type of zoning.
Councilman Breider questioned the amount of square footage in the building. f•�tr.
Sobiech said the bu]ding contained 97,000 square feet. Councilman Breider asked the
amount of parking required for usage of a building of this type. The Public Works
director determined on a commercial rate this would be a requirement of 1,164 parking
stalls.
Pir. Peterson, Real Property Services, addressed the Council and said he represented the
� people who prL�posed the operation in the warehouse. He explained this proposal to
be a ware hou�e sales outlet of a unique nature and explained there would be as
many as 100 businesses with sales of surplus or bargain type items on the weekends.
'
�
�
J
Councilman Starwalt stated this is not an auction type operation. "1r. Peterson said
no, it would be a discount or bargain type of set up. Councilman Starwalt asked if
this would be for industrial use. i�r. Peterson explained that: this would be public
ori,entated with a multitude of manufacturers and businesses se�lling materials and
at bargain prices.
i•ir. Richard Harris asked if the present zoning in the area was� M-2 and the Public
Works Director said yes. i4ayor Nee said the Council had received an opinion from the
City Attorney indicating that the proposed usage would be allowed.
The City Attorney explained that in an industrial area a warehouse is a permitted
usage and there is a provision in the industrial zoning allow�ing incidential sales
by industrial occupants which is now being permitted. Ele saici either provision is
allowed if they do not adversly affect the surrounding proper�ty and may be permitted.
He referred to the operation of Wickes and Plywood Minnesota which is in industrial
zoning with the same type of situation existant there. Fie said they are basically
warehouses with sales out of the facility.
' Mayor Nee questioned how many acres of paving would be required for parking. The
Public Works Director pointed out that the estimated requirement would be approximately
seven acres, but the stipulation would require the applicants to acquire 20 additional
acres for use if the need arises.
�
�
Mr. Peterson addressed the Council and explained being this is a unique operation,
they had not determined the amount of parking that would be needed at one time. lie
said with the stipulaiion for ihe acquisition of additional land, they would be able
to provide up to 20 acres if it is needed.
Mr. Richard Harris questioned and availabi7ity of the area be�cause of the traffic
situation.
Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton, if the proposed development: would necessitate the
�' extension of Main Street and the incorporation of additional signalization. Mr.
Sobiech said no. He further stated that the streets in the a�rea had been designed for
additional traffic to meet the proposed usage specifications.
�
LJ

��
�
The City Manager said he believed• the points raised by Mr. Harris to be good points.
The City Manager advised the Council that the Public Works Dlirector had listed
approximately 10 items that could be stipulation in conjunct�ion with the proposal.
He said the matters discussed at the present meeting had been reviewed and questioned
by the Engineering staff also. He said he felt with the large scale parcel development
such as was proposed, the adverse effects would be at a minimum in comparison to the
current type of development with small several acre parcels. He explained his belief ,
that the proposal has many favorable aspects with the �ility to plan the drainage of
a large development and the reduction of traffic to weekends only. He felt the
investigation of the question on the point of run off is well taken, but this !
had been questioned by the Administration also. Mr. 4ureshi felt that the proposal
;

'
would pro vide a development in which the adverse effects of development of the area
couldbe reduced in comparison co other iypes of operations.
Mayor Nee questioned if there was a question confronting the Council at the present
time on the proposal. He asked the City Manager if he had brought the matter to
the CounciT as a matter of advising them.
The City Manager said this was correct. He explained that the applicant had submitted
a letter to the City in the hope of gaining some indication on the proposal from the
City before he went to the expense of preparing final plans. He explained that the
final plans would have to be submitted to the various committees and come back to
the Council. The City Manager said he believed the proposal is one that wou7d work
for the area.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Peterson if he would be willing to work out the questions of
drainage and traffic with the City. Mr. Peterson said yes, he would be willing to
do this. He indicated this would be just as important for the business to solve,
they would not want to live with a drainage problem. f•ir. Peterson indicated that in
his discussions with the City Staff, al] of the restriction had been agreed to
because they wer- mutually beneficial to the City and Company. Mr. Peterson j,isted
several of the suggested stipulations and indicated he believed they were imperative
for the business to follow to have a good operation.
The City Manager said one requirement would be that if any additional right of way
or improvements are needed for tte area, he would like the applicants to agree to
pay the costs. He said the parking plan and landscape plans would have to be
submitted to the Subcommittees and Council for final approval.
Mayor Nee questioned if there wouTd be a need for the issuance of a special use
permit.
The City Manager said there
type of zoning. He said the
with certain conditions.
are no provisions for a special use permit in this
action of the Counci7 would be to issue the permit
The City Attorney advised the Council that there would be no provisions for the
special use permit because this would be a permitted use. He suggested the requirement
of a certificate of occupancy in this case stating he believed this to be a necessity.
He said this would require the applicant to comply with the requirements before he is
permitted to operate. The City Attorney continued to explain that the various Boards
and Committees could attach their suggested recommendations for parking and drainage,
etc. and the Counci] could provide a formal agreement with the Company for compliance.
He said this would prohibit the sale of any property, the sales of material on any
other day besides the weekends and holidays without the approval of the Council. He
said if the provisions of the agreement or certificate of occupancy are violated,
the cerfiticate of occupancy can be revoked.
Councilman Breider asked if there was a question before the Council at the present
time that would take Council action. The City Manager recommended that at the
present time the Council receive the communication. He said this application had
been submitted by a large operation and he was concerned that they would understand
tfieir investment co�unitment and be aware of the requirements the City would want
stipulated.
Councilman Breider said the City had been working very hard in the area proposed for
developroent. He said he would not want 20 acres of asphalt in any one area.
Mayor Nee said the stipulation was to require the applicant to acquire the additional
land in the case that it is needed at some future date.
Councilman Breider questioned if this would be a dangerous precedent and he did not
feel he would like to set such a precedent in this area.
The Public Works Director said the stipulation was not requiring the applicants to use
this amount of land for parking, they were to acquire it in the case that at sometime
in the future they would like to expand operations, it would be available. �1r. Sobiech
pointed out that there is almost adequate parking surrounding the building at the
present time. The Public Works Director said it was not known if the property to the
east would ever be used for parking.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 13
The City Manager pointed out that this would be the same requirE�ments as Wickes,
Plywood Minnesota and Holiday had complied with. The City Mana!3er said he saw
sane positive sides of this proposal, as he had indicated earlier. He said with the
acquisition of the additional property, there would be some property to control the
runoff. He suggested the creation of ponding areas mixed with �the parking lot in
the landscape plans. He also suggested that the additional acquisition could either
be used for construction of parking faci7ities ow additional building construction.
He said in this case the City would have the opportunity to corrtrol the adverse
effects of runoff, and this factor could be incorporated at the time of planning.
He mentioned this type of large development would a11ow for mor�e control of the
adverse effects than that of the development of smaller parcels with small buildings
which are surrounded by a strip of parking stalls and a strip of landscaped area.
Mr. Peterson said he felt the points of Councilman Breider were well taken. He
mentioned the hope that the industrual area would indicate the requirement for the
parking space, but in this case he was not at liberty to say. He again explained
that this operation would be the oniy one of its kind in the Twin City Area. He also
said he was not wi7d about buying more tand, but if it is necessary to the operation
in the future, it would be better than forcing on street parking. He said it may
be possib]e t� get by with the existing parking plus the on street parking in the area,
buth they wou.d not want this and neither would the City. He said the additional
acquisition would provide for additional parking if this is needed.
Mr. Richard Harris again raised the point concerning the traffic in the area of Main
Street and Osborne Road. He said he thought this matter should be reviewed by the
Enrironmental Quality Cor�nission and other Subcommittees.
The City Manager said he felt this proposal had two positive as�pects. He said the
first was that the traffic into the area would be at an off pea�k period or on the
weekends. Secondly, he said, the development of a large parcel of land would allow
some way of controlling the drainage of the area. Ne said there would not be 20
acres of parking lot, the area would be appealing with ponding areas and laridscaping.
He thought this could be planned so the area would be pleasing.
Councilman Breider asked if there was some time table established for the project.
hir. Peterson indicated that they would like to go ahead with the plans at the
present time. He mentioned the advertising budget which has been established in the
' amount of $100,000. He said they would like to be operational in 3Q to 6Q days.
Councilman Breider questioned when the next Planning Commission meeting would be
held. It was indicated that the next meeting would be January 22, 1975.
The City Attorney said it would be possible to grant conceptua'I approval at this time
contingent upon the conditions stipulated. He said it would be possible for the
Administration, Boards and Commissions to work toward satisfac�tion of the parking and
drainage plans. He said the item could be sent to the Boards +�nd come back to the
, Council with a final plan for approval. He mentioned the Engiineering staff would have
' to do some work on the plans also. He said the plans could include the need for
immediate parking and also plans for expansion of the parking area if this proves
to be necessary. He said if some decision is made on the conditions of development,
this could be registered in a covenance with Anoka County, and these conditions could
apply to the certificate of occupancy. He said the p7ans and satisfaction of conditions
would have to be agreed to before any certificate of occupancy would be issued.
Mayor Nee agreed with the points of the City Manager stating the larger the parcel,
the more possible it would be to obtain an adequate drainage plan. He said this wouTd
be better than the development in fragments as is now being done in this area.
Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre said she believed this to be a probiem area and thought there may
be some problems in the drainage o•f the Stonybrook area.
Mrs. Jan Seeger, 324 Ironton, thought the point concerning thE� development of a
larger parcel was valid. She did question the matter of the a.dditional traffic,
The City Manager pointed out that the property is zoned for a certain use. He again
explained that if the property'is not developed in the proposed manner, it would
be developed in small parcels with surrounding parking areas, etc. He again
mentioned that if there was development of industry in the are�a, there would be
additional traffic at all times, not just on the weekends. HEa said he thought the
City could work with this type of large development.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETIN6 OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 14
. �,
MOTION by Councilman Breider to instruct the Administration to pursue the plans for
the development as requested by Real Property Services, working out the drainage
problems and keeping in mind that there will not be 20 acres of asphalt for the
parking lot, and that the applicant work up a plan and present the plan to the
Planning Commission on the 22nd of January and at the same time that the adjacent
property owners would be notified and the property owners in the area of Stonybrook
be notified so they can be present at the consideration of the project. Seconded by
Councilman Starwalt.
Mr. Dick Brama, owner of the building in question, addressed the Counci] and said
� they are at the point in construction of the building where they would have�to know
how to finish the inside of the building. He said he felt in this case there was
a hardship in that if this operation was not going to use the building, it would be
' finished in the speculative office warehouse style which would be different,than was
the proposal at the present time. i�tr. 8rama requested that the item appear at the
Planning Commission the following evening because of this hardship.
Mayor Nee questioned if an affirmative vote on the motion on the floor would be a
general type of concurrence or conceptual approval.
The City Attorney said if the property is developed in this line, plans would
have to be presented. He said some indication of the Council's decision would be an
aid to the applicant in which way to proceed. He suggested the applicant work with
the Administration for formulation of the plans and modifications if this is necessary.
He said this could be controlled with conceptual approval.
Councilman Breider stressed that Mr. Peterson would have to come up with parking
plans and drainage plans, etc. before there is any agreement on the part of the
Council. He stated, the Council could just not agree to the development without
some plans.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Olson, Real Property Services, addressed the Council and questioned the time
element they were facing. The City Attorney suggested that the developers and the
owners of the building meet with the administrative staff the following morning.
COMMUNITY SCHOOL INTERAGTION: 70M MYHRA:
Mayor Nee called on Mr. Tom Myhra to present a review of the Community School program
to the Council. i�ir. Myhra explained that a committee had been formed and that
there were three members of the City staff on this committee, He said he thought
i� would also be appropriate to have some representative from the City Council orr
this committee. He expressed the desire to involve the local school district and
local government. He mentioned that everyone from preschool to the senior citizens
could become involved in the Co�nunity School program.
The City Manager pointed out that this program had been brought to the Council's
attention several months ago. He mentioned that Mr. Peter Herlofsky, Administrative
Assistant, Mr. Oan liuff, NaturalistJResource Coordinator, and Mr. Paul Brown, Director
of Parks and Recreation are presently members of the Committee. He said he had
originally talked to Mr. Hansen concerning the program and now Mr. Tom Myhra had
been appointed as Director,
Mayor Nee suggested that the matter be brought back for Council consideratiorr of
the appointment of a Council mem6er to the Committee. tie said the staff people would
remain on the Committee.
WEAVER, TALLE & HERRICK: ABOLISHMENT OF OFFICE OF CHIEF OF POLICE:
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to receive the communication from Weaver, Talle, &
Herrick concerning the abol�shment of the office of Chief of Police dated January 6,

CONSIDERATION OF SETTIN6 A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THOSE WISHING T() BE CANDIDATES FOR
COUNCIL WARD III:
Counciltvoman Kukowski questioned if it would be possible to hnld some kind of
public hearing for input of the people and the public for the appointment of a
Councilmember in Ward III.
Councilman Breider said he had only been involved in the appointment process once
and at this time, the public had not been involved in the appc�intment. Councilman
Breider said he believed it t��ould be a good chance to have some back and forth
dialogue on the subject. He said he would go along with the public hearing situation.
Councilman Starwalt said he felt this would be a good idea and. asked how soon
this public hearing would be scheduled.
Mayor Nee said it would be necessary to prepare and adopt a Resolution declaring
a vacancy the following week.
Councilman B�eider suggested that this hearing take place at the fourth Monday
conference meeting. He said the people who are interested in the office could be
heard. He mentioned that some notice of the hearing could be published a couple
of weeks in the paper.

Council make their names known to the City. Councilman Starwalt indicated.he
believed the peop1e interested could state their intentions. The City Manager said
he would encourage those interested to call the City Manager's office so the
Council would be prepared. Cour.cilwoman kukowski agreed with this point, but added
she would not want the candidates limited to those who had contacted the office in
advance. The City Manager said the public should know who the candidates are before the
hearing. Councilwoman Kukowski said she would like this meeting in the Community
Room, not the Council Chambers.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the moti�on carried unanimously.
iNayor Nee directed the Administration to prepare a resolution �declaring a vacancy
for consideration of the Council at their next meeting.
IDERATION OF A REOUEST BY MR.
Of I:SLANDS Of PEACE IN
The City Manager explained the City is in the process of contar_ting industries at the
present time. He questioned the inclusion of requests for the Islands of Peace
indicating if they worked on two fronts at the same time, this would be damaging.
The City Manager suggested taking a second cycle in this type ��f effort and working
on the Islands of Peace. He indicated the possibility of the {_egislature coming up
with some funding for the Islands of Peace.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to direct the City Administration to include the Islands
of P�ace in future notices of solicitation. Seconded by Counc�ilman Starwalt. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

for the Islands of Peace.

session to be that there is no longer a requirement that the percentage in food
business be 51%. The City Attorney continued to explain that he advised that the

PUBLIC NEARING Oi ISSl1ING AN OfV-SALE LI UOR LICENSE TO ROBERT HENRY SCHROER, 7620
NIVERSITY AVENUE N. E. WESTERN RANCH, INC. :
Mr. Wyman Smith, Attorney for Mr. Robert Schroer, addressed the Council and said
Mr. Schroer had applied for a liquor license for a proposed new construction. He
indicated plans for the building had been prepared and he presented these plans °
to the Council. He explained these to be recently submitted, tentative plans.
He pointed out the seating capacity for the facility to be planned at approximately
200 on the ground level and up to 300 on the lower level for banquets. He explained
that the lower level would accomodate from 200 or up to the mentioned 300.
Mr. Smith commented that the business would be set up by forming a corporation which
' wouTd be named Western Ranch, Inc. He informed the Council that at the present time,
a manager had not been hired nor had any of the employees been hired. He said' these
people wou7d have to obtain licenses at the appropriate time.
Mr. Smith continued his presentation requesting favorable action on the application _
to enable Mr. Schroer to arrange financing and make arrangements for the specific plans.
i�1r. Smith said in a case where a new construction is being planned, the Council would
have to provide approval before the financing can be sought or the final plans could
be drawn. He explained the proposed valuation of the construction to be in the
drea of one half a million dollars. Mr. Smith indicated he knew the Council was not able
to take this action at the present meeting, but requested that this be considered at
the earliest possible date so these matters could be resolved. i4r. Smith said there
would be no problem with any ordinance change if this be the case in the future,
they would go along with any requirements.
Mr. Smith informed the Council that Mr. Schroer was present and would answer any of the
Council's questions.
Mayor Nee asked that the plans be shown to the members of the audience.
Mr. Robert 5chroer addressed the Council and explained the motif for the proposed
building is planned to be Western as the Ranch is at the present time. �
Mr. Schroer said the building placement is planned for 79th Avenue and University with
exposure.to University. �•1r. Schroer further explained that the exit would b e on
79th and the Service Drive.
Mayor Nee asked the City Manager if he had reviewed the plans and the City Manager
responded saying no, this is the first he had seen them. They were to be submitted
earlier, but this is the first they had been seen. Mr. Schroer apologized to the
Council for not having the plans to the City earlier, but added he thought the
public hearing date was when the plans would be needed or perhaps at the next meeting
when the license would be considered.

PUBLIC HEARING ON ISSUING AN ON-SALE LI UOR LICENSE 'J RICHARD DUANE POVL'7TZKE,
7365 OLD CENTRAL AVENUE N. E. FRIDLEY FRONTIER CLUB, INC. :
', Mr. Wyman Smith, Attorney for Mr. Richard Povlitzke, addressed the Council and said
� Mr. Povlitzke and his wife are the sole stock holders in the Fridley Frontier Club,
Inc. Mr. Smith explained this building was presently licensed for 3.2 beer sales,
tavern and set ups. The seating capacity of the facility is 357. t1r. Smith said
he had been�told by Mr. Povlitzke that it is very important that he obtain a liquor
' � license. He explained that there had 6een some modifications made to the operation,
and more would have to be made. There had been some kitchen facilities in the past
and these could be replaced.
�

,
'
Mr. Smith informed the Council that Mr. Povlitzke and his wife and family had been
in Fridley for 14 years and he felt he had done good job in remodeling the
building. He further pointed out that the building occupied by the Frontier C7ub
was the first liquor establishment in the City of Fridley. Built by the Gottwaldt
Brothers, in 1950, the building was within the big shopping center in the City of
Fridley at the time. Ile mentioned this was before the rerouting of T. H. #65.
i�ir. Smith said he had recently visited the business and pointed out that the inside
and outside of the building had been remodeled and is quite attractive. Mr. Smith
said he did know with his association with the City that Mr. Povlitzke had had
some police problems with running the tavern, but he did not feel that these problems
were in excess of any other operation of this type. E�e pointed out that he had
maintained the license for 14 years. �1r. Smith said he believed the obtaining of
a liquor license would upgrade the operation from a drinking place to something
better and be an improvement to the comnunity. �-ir. Smith pointed out that Mr.
Povlitzke was born in North Dakota.
Mayor Nee questioned the proposed plans for the building. ��1r. Povlitzke said plans
had been drawn up and he had given them to the City. Ne said a kitchen area would
be added on, and basically, everything else would remain the same.
Councilwoman Kukowski asked if it would be possible to install additional parking
facilities.
�� Mr. Povlitzke said the City had quoted him an amount to meet the requirements to
be 9] cars. Councilwoman Kukowski questioned if this would be the property require-
ment. The Public Works Director indicated that according to the present building
' code, the seating capacity of 333 would be divided by four which would be in the
� area of 90 cars, but with the existing restaurant facilities in the City where this
criteria is being used, this is not adequate parking.
The City Manager said this parking question had been discussed in December of 1974
' ' and it had been determined in the case of ��restaurant, that the parking requirement
I may be more inline with one staTl per every two places in the seating capacity.
He said they thought that the operation with liquor would need more parking than the
normal commercial operation.
� '
I
Councilman Breider questioned the type of inenu that is currently proposed for the
restaurant. P�ir. Povlitzke said they are serving hamburgers, and cheesburgers, etc.
at the present time, but would enlarge the menu. Councilman Breider asked if it
0
i�
24� �
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 4
would be a more sophisticated menu when the restaurant facilities are installed and
Mr. Povlitzke said yes.
� �layor Nee said he had been told the Frontier Club had not complied with many of the
agreements that were made with the City. He questioned what some of the items of
agreement were to have been. The City Manager called on the Public Works Director
I for these specific items that had been agreed upon with the original remodeling of
the facility. The Public Works Director mentioned the storage building was to
be renaved, and this had been done. He said the area was to have been paved with
� additional parking added. Ne said the landscaping had not been done on Onondaga.
Mr. Povlitzke said he had intended to complete the items in the agreement, but was
�' not making enough money to complete the conditions. He said he was not aware of anyone
' else who was taking out their outside parking and putting in trees.
I Mr. Povlitzke informed the Council that it was not possible for him to move the
storage building until the hardware store had moved. He said when they moved, this
. was taken out. The City Manager asked if there was a completion date mentioned in the
agreement. The Public Works Director said the agreement did not indicate this. F1ayor
Neeasked Mr. Povlitzke the amount of the investment. f•1r. Povlitzke said $50,000.
i�layor Nee asked if when the work is done, will this e�.1 up to be a night club. Mr.
Povlitzke said yes, a night club with entertainment and a lounge. Mr. Povlitzke
' said it would be like the Shorewood.
Cauncilman Starwalt questioned the time table for the proposed additional facil9ties.
He mentioned this would involve the incorporation of a full line of food according
to the present ordinance. He again asked the time table for the construction. Mr.
Povlitzke sai•d it would be completed in three months.
Councilman Breider �sked if there would be any plans to remodel the facility or
upgrade the furniture. itr. Povlitzke said he may get new furniture, but he believed
the inside of the building is as nice as it could be.
Mayor Nee asked if the hearing was to be continued, could Mr. Povlitzke furnish more
plans? Mr. Smith answered, ��ould it help if they provided photographs of the
building. Councilman Starwalt said he had seen the interior of the building, and
it had been extensively redone. He said he was trying to compare the dining facility
and the changes that would have to be incorporated.
Mr. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson Boulevard, addressed the Council and indicated that
he had a question concerning the items that would appear on the menu. ne asked if the
menu would be comparable to that of the Shorewood or would it compare more with the
operations in Mounds View like the Launching Pad or the Mermaid. ��1r. Povlitzke said
it would compare with the Mermaid and the Shorewood in that food, liquor and enter-
tainment would be provided.
The City Attorney questioned if the dance floor would remain in sufficient area. Mr.
Povlitzke said yes, they could save the dance f7oor.
'ihe City Attorney asked if this would be as large as it is at the present time and
Mr. Povlitzke said yes. He questioned if there would be enough square feet if it is
left the same with the proposed seating capacity and Mr. Povlitzke said yes.
Mayor Nee �ked if there were any other comments from the audience concerning the `-
application.
Mr. Povlitzke invited the members of the Council to visit his business. He said he
would like some explanation of what the members of the Council would like to have
done in the line of the dining area. He said he was thinking of leaving the operation
in one large roam.
Mayor Nee said it would have to be demonstrated to the City where the parking would
be. He said it would be possible to continue the public hearing.
Mr. Smith said he saw no reason to continue the hearing. He said it could be closed
and if the question of the parking or other facts could be met by the conditions of the
license and the pians could be revised. He said th e construction plans would have to be
reviewed by the Subcommittees and come back to the Council.
Mayor Nee said it would be in order to receive the report from the Public Safety
Director along with this hearing item.

Povlitzke and the Frontier Club, Inc. dated January 13, 1975. Seconded by Council-
woman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING ON fINAL PLAT, P. S. #74-06 ZANDER'S FIRST ADDITION, BY DAILEY HOMES,
INC., LOCATED SOUTH OF 61ST AVENUE BETWEEN BENJAMIN STREET AND MCKINLEY STREET:
The Public Safety Director pointed out a plan of the proposed plat on 4-A of the
agenda book. Mr. Sobiech read the stipulations within the minutes of the Planning
Comnission from the agenda book and briefly explained the reasons behind the stip-
ulations concerning the easements.
Mayor Nee qeustioned if the Ciiy would be responsible for damage if the storm drainage
plan does not work in this case. The City Attorney ;�,swered this would only be true
in two cases, one, if the planning of the system was not adequate, or secondly, if
there was negligence in laying out the system, or the maintenance of it. rie said
in a natural situation where there would be a great deal of water and increased
runoff, the City would not be held responsible. i�tayor Nee asked if the drainage
plan would be less than adequate? The City Manager said no, he feit the plan was
fine and is comparable to what is required by other developers in other parts of the
City. He felt this consideration was raised because of the concern of the man on the
northwest side of the property. The Ctiy Manager said the pian for the area was
suitable and had just as much potential as other properties in the area.
Mr. Dennis Schneider asked if the drainage to the north would eventualiy end up
in Harris Lake. ��ayor Nee answered, he thought either way, it would end up there.
i�1r. Schneider asked if the Harris Lake area was platted with the addition of this
type of drainage into the area ar�ticipated. The Public Works Director said the
area was planned with this in mind.
Councilman Breider questioned if the property to the east of this development had
underground utilities. The City Manager said the area was platted before the City
adopted the policyof underground utilities. Counci]man Breider questioned if this would
be a hardship for these people when the adjacent properties were not required to do
this. The City Manager said the people in Briardal2 have underground utilities. i{e
said the applicant agreed with the stipulations.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, i=tayor Nee daclared the motion carried
unanimously and the Public Nearing closad at 8:59 P.Pt.

L. WALQUIST, LOCATED IN THE NORTNWEST QUADRANT Of RICE CREEK ROAD AND CENTRAL AVENUE:
The Public Works Director pointed out the area to be west of Central and north of
Rice Creek Road, He said the preliminary plat indicates five M-1 lots each with
the minimum size of three-quarters of an acre, and with the minimum frontage of
100 feet. He said the preliminary plat as presented can meet the minimum size require-
ment. He informed the Council that the minutes of the Planning Commisison meeting
of September 4, 1974 indicated recommendation of the approval of the plat with
several stipulations. Mr. Sobiech read the stipulations to the Council and audience
and explained the location, size and need for the easements. He explained the
drainage of the area to be handled by open ditches and swales and explained the
placement of those recortmended.
hlayor Nee asked if the property in back of this is currently zoned R-2 and the "
Public Works Director said yes. The area is double bungalows.
Councilman Starwalt said he had no questions concerning the proposed plat at the
present time. He hoped the development has a firm understanding of the water levels
in the area. �le mentioned the conditions of the area are less than desirable, but
with the proper engineering and if the stipulations are followed, this could be
an asset to the City of Fridley.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1975 PAGE 6
Mayor Nee asked if anyone wished to comnent concerning the proposed plat and there
was no response. The Public Works Director said the Engineering Department had
called Mr. Walquist and let him know when the Public Hearing item appeared on the
agenda. .
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to continue the Public Hearing on the matter of the
Final Plat P. S. #74-08, Herwal Rice Creek Terrace, by George L. Walquist. Seconded
by Councilwoman Kukowski.
The City Manager questioned if this hearing was to be continued to a specific date.
Councilman Starwalt suggested that this be continued until the next meeting of the
Council and he asked Mr. Sobiech to notify the applicant that the Council would like
to speak to him.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously
and the Public Hearing was continued at 9:13 P.f4.
PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT: STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1976-4:
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to waive the reading of the Public Hearing notice and
open the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Kuko�:ski. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the Public Hearinq
opened at 9:14 P.M.
The Public Works Director explained that the project was being done jointly by funding
from the Highway Department, County and Federal Government. Ile said this would
consist of a grade separation, and bridge on Mississippi Street between East River
Road and 2nd Street. hie explained this would be a 51 foot roadway with concrete
curbing. He said the road surface wi71 be black top and there would be concrete
sidewalks on both sides of the street. He said this would be a perrnanent construetian
which would include improvement of the storm sewer. Mr..Sobiech explained that
recently the City had been negotiating with the County for an increase in the County
funding to cover the cost of the storm sewer. He said this had been accomplished
in an affirmative rr�nner and the County will take care of the additional cost of the
storm sewer. I;e pointed out that the funding for the project would be from the
following sourcesc Federal Funds $1,116,836, Burlington Northern $118,572, County
Funds $437,905, and Fridley's portion $34,086.30. iir. Sobiech said with the addition
of the City's engineering, legal and staff time for meetings, etc., this would bring
the City's figure to $44,312. The Public Works Director continued to comnent that
the majority of the cost would be picked up by the County with the amount being
assessed to the property owners to be for all of the sidewalk and 50% of the curbing,
and all of the other costs would be taken care of by other jurisdictions. He said
the total cost of the pro�ect to the City of Fridley will be 3%. He advised the
Council that the estimated amount for a front foot would be $14.57.
The Public Works Director explained that the City's cost before the County agreed
to fund the storm sewer portion had been $130,000. Fle added after vigorous neqotiations
with the County, this figure was reduced to $44,000. He said the original proposal
was that the County pick up one half of the storm sewer costs, but he was happy to
report that the County would be picking up the drainage costs.
Councilman Breider asked when the work would be started. h1r. Sobiech said if
all goes well, they hoped to award the contract by the 20th of January, and begin
constructionin the spring.
t�1r. Dave Brink, Designware, addressed the Council and questioned the significance
of the red and blue designations on the map of the area of the improvement. The
Assessor, i•lr. Mervin Herrmann, exptained that the blue marking would be those
areas to be the side yard assessment or that which is one third of the front footage
amount which is spread up the side street. �le mentioned one third of the front foot
assessments are assessed to the abutting property owner and two-thirds of the cost
are spread down the side street. He mentioned one third of the front foot assess-
; ments are assessed to the abutting property owner and two-thirds of the cost are '
; spread down the side street.
Mr. Brink explained that when the project was started, he was under the impression
that this was a County project. He corr�nented that when he had negotiated with
the County for the condemnation of a portion of his property, he did not know that
there would.be an assessment on the improvement project from the City.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1975 PAGE 7
Mr. 8rink further explained that if he had had knowledge of this at the time of the
condemnation, this would have made a difference. He pointed out that the assessments
on his property seem to be estimated at 20% of the price negotiated with the County.
Mr. Brink further questioned the need for the pTacement of sidewalks on both sides
of the street. He did not believe there was a sufficient amount of pedestrian traffic
in this area to warrant this type of expenditure. I�ir. Brink again questioned the
assessment po]icy on the side yard and front footage.
The City Manager explained to Mr. Brink that at the present time, they were conducting
the improvement hearing, and at this time the costs were only estimates. He said
� the purpose of ihe hearing would be to determine if anyone had any objections to the
I actual improvement. The City Manager further explained that there would be a future
hearing on the assessments for the improvement.
' Mr. Brink asked why the plan contained double sidewalks. The Public Works birector
said the previous policy with Anoka County included the instal]ation of sidewalks
with 100% of the sidewalks being assessed to the property owner and 50� of the
curbing assessed. This being a major thoroughfare in the City of Fridley, which was
, studied by the Citizen Bikeway/Walkway Committee, it .�s determined that the sidewalks
on both sides of the street would be necessary.
Flayor Nee said the hearing was being held on the matter of whether or not the
' public approves of the project. i�lr. Brink repeated he did not object to the project,
but he did feel that he shauld have known this before his negotiations with the
County. He said he was under the impression that he would not be assessed for the
project. ,
' The City Attorney advised Mr. 3rink he did not think he would be entitled to damages,
but this knowledge may have caused him to negotiate harder. f•layor Nee said Mr. Brink
would not be assessed for the drainage system in the area. Pdr. Brink said there is
: a drainage problem in the area, the water stands after a rain. i•ir. Brink said he
' feli the problem area is the railroad property. �layor Nee pointed out that Bur�ington
Northern would be paying $118,000. The City Manager said Burlington Northern is
putting money toward the bridge structure.
' Mrs. Mary Dittmer, 7595 A1den Way N. E., questioned when the improvement was
constructed East of East River Road, this was constructed over the water shut off.
The City Manager said the property owner would not be charged for this, the City
wouTd take care of this.
' Mrs. Dittmer said she was told that this assessment was a pending assessment. The
C9ty Manager said there had not been any pending assessments on this particular
project. Mrs. Oittmer said she was told if she was to sell her property, she
would have to pay the pending assessments. The Public Works Director said he and
the Assessor would check into this matter in the morning.
Mayor Nee asked if anyone else had any comnents on the project and there was no
response.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to close the Public Hearing on St. T976-4. Seconded
by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 9:44 P.t�i.
OLD BUSINESS:
RECEIVING REPORTS REGARDIP�G DAMAGE DONE BY SNOWMOBILES IN PARKS AND NEW LAWS RELATING
0 THE USE Of SNOWMOBILES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY FROM MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 975 :
Mayor Nee pointed out that this question had been raised at the previous Council
Meeting and the report indicates that there is some damage to the park. He said
in the report there is a list of three alternatives for action by the Council which
could be done by administrative procedures. The first alternative was explained
� to be the continuation of the legal snowmobiling in the northerly section of the
park and rerrwving the signs prohibiting motor vehicTes on the north side of the
park. Also, in the first alternative would be the replacement of signs prohibiting
motor vehicles and indicate with signs designation of open areas north of Rice
Creek. Aiso, the signs on the south side of the Creek would be replaced with
i signs prohibiting snowmobiles on the south side of the Creek.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1975 PAGE 8
Mayor Nee said the proposed alternative number two to be the establishment af
designated trails in Locke Park and making other areas off limits. The third
alternative would eliminate the use of snowmobiles in Locke Park.
Mayor Nee said according to the report comparing the usage of snowmobiles in other
communities, Fridley is one of the few municipalities with any open snowmobile areas.
Mayor Nee suggested receiving some kind of public input before making this type of
determination on the use of snowmobiles in the City.
Mayor Nee read the inspection report to the audience and also the list of alternative
suggestions.
The City Manager explained at the minimum, the City could provide the proper signing.
He said this would have to be done to roeet the requirements of the State Statutes.
He said they could also consider tMe estabTishment of the trail system.
Councilman Breider said the people use the area on the south side of the creek from
east to west. fle indicaied he would like to restrict the use of snowmobiles to the
north side of the creek in Locke Park. He said he would like some indication of how
this restriction works out for the people on the south side of the creek. Councilman
Starwalt said this is a possible item for discussion for .he fourth conference meeting.
He said the discussion can be geared to what would be done next year. Councilman
Breider suggested placement of specific signs that indicate snowmobiling is not
allowed on the south side of the Creek.
Councilman Starwalt questioned if the snowmobiles should be ban at this time.
Councilman Breider replied that he had been at the park and there are a number of
� people that use•the area and he feli that those people would take the opposing view
and would like the use of the snowmobiles to continue. Councilman Breider said some
kind of trail system should be established sa the people know where they are allawed.
The City Manager pointed out that the areas that are used by snowmobiles in the
winter months are used by mini bikes in the warmer months. Fle said if the restrictions
for snowmobiles are being considered, the Council should also look at the matter in
light of the use of mini bikes.
The City Manager suggested that the Council start with the action listed as alternative
number one of the report from Mr. Huff. He said this would be brought back for
discussion at the conference meeting of the Council. At this time the Council could
establish some guidelines to serve the community.
Councilman Breider said he would like to discuss the problem at the fourth meeting
to enable the Council to have some dialogue with the people of the area. He said
at the present time, he thought the City should conform to the sign regulations
within the State Statutes.
MOTiON by Councilman Breider to tentatively adopt the first proposal as suggested by
the Naturalist/Resource Coordinator in the memo dated January 9, 1975, which would
continue the use of snowmobiles in Locke Park, north of the Creek and replace the
existing signs with signs that will conform to the State Statutes, and that this
be reviewed with the people of the area on January 27, 1975, conference meeting of
the Counci7. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERA7ION OF RECREA7IONAL FACILITIES AGREEMENT WITH GRACE HIGH SCH�OL fR�M MEETING
OF JANUARY 6, 1975 :
The City Manager addressed the Council and recalled that the Gity had been working with
the representatives of Grace Nigh School for some time. The Public Works Director
placed a plan of the proposed plat on the screen and explained that the agreement
and information in the agreement is a little more formalized than it had been at the
previous discussions on the plat in December. He further pointed out that the
representatives had agreed to paying the park fee and following the normal procedure
if m agreement on the recreational facilit�es at Grace could be reached.
Mr. Sobiech said the City had attempted to reach an agreement for the use of the
' facilities at Grace High School because there is a definite lack of recreational
; facilities in the immediate area. Ne pointed out that the agreement is on page 8-B and
d 'd he felt this would be a viable agreement. .

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1975 PAGE 9
Counci]man Breider questioned the renewal clause in the agreement and asked if this
would be appropriate. The Public Works Director read the statement in question and
said the agreement would have to be resolved at the end of this term. The City
Attorney said according to the terms of the agreement, both parties would have to
be in agreement before the agreement would be renewed. Councilman Breider questioned
if Grace did not want to agree, and did not want the agreement renewed after 1980,
there would be no agreement. The City Attorney said this may be so, he suggested
a statement of intent.
Mayor Nee expressed the feeling that Grace has shown the intent to cooperate and felt
the approval .of the agreement would make sense. Councilman Breider said they should
consider the fact that people do change their minds, just as in political parties.
Mayor Nee said he believed the agreement proposed a good proposition and with the
amount of money that would replace the agreement, he questioned how much could be
done to facilitate the area with the amount in terms of a substitute.
The Public Works Director said he felt they would be within the final negotiations, he
had been told by the representative of Grace that they would not be able to do much
more than is being proposed at the present time. The Public Works Director called
on Mr. Tony Gnerre representative of Grace High Schoo�.
Mr. Gnerre, 1202, Hathaway Lane, addressed the CounciT and said he had been negotiating
with the City as a representative of Grace Nigh School. hle repeated the terms of the
� � agreement which had been previously diseussed. He brought to the Council's attention
that the original agreement on the property ran for a period of three years, and the
City had preferred that a five year agreement be reached. he stated, they could live
with the five year agreement which could be renewed after this time. ile said he feTt
' that there is a fairly good relationship between the City and Grace concerning the
use of the facility.

Councilman Starwalt said he had talked to Mr. 6nerre concerning the agreement and
use of the faci7ities. Fie indicated that the hockey rink is not being used by the
community, it is being used by the Hockey Association, day and night. fie said he
would hold to the idea that the platting of the 14 lots should be handled just as it
had been for all of the other developers in the area and that Grace should pay the
required park fee of $4,200. He said he would not want this to be confused with
the present use of the facility. Ne said presently the agreement has a 30 day
cancellation clause and if Grace wanted the City to vacate the property, the
City would have to. He said with continued cooperation, he did not believe Grace
would ask the City to vacate. He questioned the provision of the staffing for
two warming houses in this area bringing to the Council's attention that Moore lake
is also being staffed. lie said he felt the lake could handle both of these facilities.
He continued stating he saw two questions, first he would not want to jeopardize the
present agreement, and if the five year contract were entered into on other terms,
this would be unfair to the City.
Mayor Nee asked how much Grace High School would want to rent the land to the City.
Mr. Gnerre addressed the Council and answered, he could not answer that question.
He pointed out that he believed hockey is a very important sport and he would not
want to see the facility taken away for a price per month. tle continued commenting
that Grace is pay�ng a light bill for the facility in the amount of $1,500 and also
that they had an expenditure of $2,500 for the original facility. He said he felt
the hockey rink is good for the City and also good for the High School. He said
he also felt that the park fee in the amount of $4,200 would be acceptable and
fair if this is the route that would be taken at the present time.
Mayor Nee said he believed in this case, the land was being platted because.it came
into a situation where the City insisted on puttirg a road through the property.
Grace had not thought of dividing the land. He said when the road was put in it
was not the decision of Grace, it was the decision of the City. Councilman Starwa]t
said the City had made this judgement because of geography. He recalled that the
roadway was a trail when he moved to the City. He said he felt the road was not
detrimental to the property. Mayor Nee said the road did not benefit the property
owner. He felt they had been forced into the piatting because of the construction
of the road and the improvements.

ROM MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 :
Mayor Nee said the Council had received a memo from the City Attorney concerning
the legal requirements of setting a special election and the publications necessary.
The City Attorney addressed the Council and said he hoped his memo was self explanatory.
The City Attorney expounded on the memo saying, that he and the Finance Director
had met and reviewed the necessary legal requirements and the time periods within the
law. He pointed out that it would be possible and necessary that this special
election be held between February 24 and April 4. He further explained that if the
election were to be held earlier than this time, a date would have to be set during
the current meeting. He said the Administratian would need six weeks lead time
between the time the decision is made and the election is held.
Mayor Nee informed the audience that the petitioners requested that a special election
be held when there is a vacancy on the Council rather than an appointment by the Council
as is noted in the present City Charter.
Councilman Breider said he believed the Charter Commission was planning a meeting for
January 14, 1975. He asked Mr. Kenneth Sporre, 301 Ironton, member of the petitioning
co►mnittee, if there had been some discussion on the amending of the Charter with the
members of the Charter Commission. P1r. Sporre said there had been a meeting with the
officers of the Charter Commission and a meeting of the entire Commission and the
petitioning committee wouTd be meeting on January 14, 1975. Councilman Breider said
he thought it would be in order to table the consideration of setting the election
until after the upcoming meeting of the Charter Commission. He said it appeared
that the two groups may be close in reaching agreement. i�layor Nee said the item
could be put on the next Council agenda.

but he felt the need for the establishment of some guildelines. He said he had
requested this matter be presented to the Council for consideration of a study

251
' PUBLIG NEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1975 PAGE 12
' but would like the Council's feeling on the proposal made by Mrs. Helen Treuenfels.
The City Attorney said it would be possible for him to research the question and �
provide the Council with a memo on it. He said he would have to determine whether
it would be feasible to incorporate such guidelines into an ordinance.
DISCUSSION ON ALLEY MAINTENANCE POLICY IN REGARD TO SNOW REMOVAL:
Mayor Nee said he had brought this item to the Council for discussion because
some people in the City had requested that the unimproved alleys be plowed.
The City Manager referred to the City's policy and said the City would have to be
consistent. He said the City had not been platting alleys for a number of years,
and the City would take care of the streets first, then the alleys. He said those
alleys that had been platted and opened had been opened before 1960.He said if there
is a need for the establishment of an alley for access, this would be petitioned by the
property owners and brought to the standard of being blacktopped. He pointed out at
the present time that there are about five alleys platted and maintained by the City.
He said the City has not been maintaining unimproved alleys because generally, they
do not follow the platted right of way. He further explained that many people
have fencing in this area, garages, utility poles, garbage cans, etc. He said he
felt that the plowing of unimproved alleys is hazardous with the existance of obstructions.
He said for the previous reasons, the City has not been maintaining any unimproved alleys.
He brought up the fact that some of the unimproved alleys are not being used completely
and are not open at both ends. He said the plows would have no way of turning around
once they are into the alley. He said it would require the plow to trespass to enter
and exit. He referred to the alleys in the City that had been improved and said in
some other areas, the City had held public hearings on the possibility of opening
the alley and the people did not want this so they had not been improved. He stressed,
it would be necessary to continue to follow the policy.
The City Manager said under specific conditions where there is a health emergency
or in severe conditions such as the recent blizzard, the City had plowed rKwre than
they usually do.
Councilman Breider said he had received a call from someone with a request that their
alley be plowed. He said the caller did not want the a11ey plowed all of the time,
only after the severe recent storm. He said the people had not asked for every time,
just one time. He felt in this instance, the poiicy could be changed.
Councilman Breider pointed out an instance where the elderly citizens have lived on
the alley for many years and now are over 65 and would have to pay $1,000 to get the
alley improved. Fle questioned if this would be feasible. He added, ne had received
a call from a person who said her husband had a medical problem and she was not abie
to do the work. He pointed out according to the policy, the answer would have been
no because the City has a policy. Councilman Breider said if this was him, ne would
be disturbed.
The City Manager said in an emergency, the City would help out with the plowing.
Mayor Nee said the Public Works Department had done a fine 3ob.
MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to commend the Public Works Department on the fine
job done after the severe blizzard. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
7he City Manager said he would approve of this type of activity under certain conditions.
Councilman Breider commented that this had been an unusual storm. He said as a matter
of policy, he did not think this should be done, but this was an unusual situation.
Mayorl�e said he felt the people concerned should receive a letter stating the"
City policy. Fie continued stating that the people who had requested this type of
service had not called before, they had called because of the storm being a severe
one.

Final Approval of Rice Creek Estates Second
Addition
. 6
For the past several months the City Administration has held
up the final approval of the referenced plat in order to negotiate
a price .for the excess land being dedicated for park purposes. To
date we have been unsuccessful in the negotiations.
The attached agreement indicates a payment of $4246 to the
� developer for the excess land being dedicated for park purposes.
This figure was arrived at through an appraisal of the property by
F.N. Shaffer.
,
'
'
'
�
It should be pointed out the appraiser was mutually agreed
upon by the Administration and the developer and a proper explana-
tion by each party regarding the appraisal was made. At this time
however, the developer is reluctant to accept the payment in the
appraised amount. It is his opinion that the property is greater
in value.
To further clarify developments which took placein regards to
payment for excess pxoperty previously purchased by the City in
the adjacent Rice Creek Estates Addition, it should be pointed out
that the City at that time paid a net price of 30¢ per square foot
for the excess park land. If we used the same 30¢ per sauare foot
net price in lieu of the appraisal price, a payment of $4653 to the
developer would result.
The petitioner still feels the amount of money is insufficient
, and requests that final approval of the plat and consideratiori of
the agreement be put on tlie Agenda for the Council Meeting of
February 3, 1975 to allow him to explain his position to the
' Council. Therefore, it is requested that consideration of the•final
approval of Rice Creek Estates Second Addition be considered for
approval with the agreement at the Council Meeting of February 3rd.
�
�
'
,
'
It is recommended that the Council approve the final plat with
the stipulation that an agreement regarding payment for the excess
par� land be executed.

Commiss.ioi� w�ive the reacling of the Pub].ic Hearing notice on t�Upon
request for a prelimi.nary plat. P•S• #�4-05, by Eda�in nropps.
a vvice vote, a11 vo�ing ayc, the mot.ion carried vnani.mousl�.
Mr. Clark said that when tne Planning Corunission reviewed tl�� �
preliminar_y plat for P.ice Creek Estates, this portion known as P.ice �
Creek Estates Second �ddition, was all one plat. He said he beli�ved �
Mr. Dropps lzad some problems closing on the portion that �aas Chies �
property, so he deci_ded to just develop P11ase I of the plat at tllat �
time, and would come bacic with the second Phase at a later dat�r and i
that is what he is presenLing tonight. l
Mr. Clar}� continued, that there are just a couple of differences
on this plai� �r_om the f.irst time it was nresented. On the first p.la�,
the cul-de-sac on 61st extended further to the Wesi�, and the lots
thai: sould have been served by this are n:cw served by a cul-de-sac
at the end of Rice Crenk Drive. The balance of the plat loolcs prett�•
much the s an�e .
rir_. Uropps said that at the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities
Subcommitt�ce meeting thcy reque�ted a detailed topog of zhe gradc�s on
thG lots tl-iat are served by �.he cul-de-sac at the end of Rice Cieek
Drive, and �aith that cul-de-sac a1.so. Th�y weLe concerne3 that we
cauld bui]_d houses on these lots because of i_i��e elevations and gr.ade
chancjes. rir. Clark said tlle qradc on the cul-de-sac is still a�ittle
high and we would w��nt to st.ipulatc that the m�ximum slope ��ould have
to Ue thr.ee to one. This would mean that there would be 13 vert�.caJ.
feet where there would have to be som� time of retaining waTl.
M.r. Harris asl:ed if the to� soil could bc� held on a three to onc�
pii:cli. Mr. Cl.arl: said ther.c wa,� another house in this area with ttie
same soil r_onditions that has held at that slope. This house is about
five years old, and tlzer_e haven` t l�een any problems.
Tir.. Fit2patrick said that j'ust Nori=h of L�t 1, Block 4, ther� is

Mr. O'Pannon, who was in the audience, said he•was noi� satisfied
wii�h i�h.e location of this road. It secros to have been moved Nortll.
lIe said h� would lose a lot from his p?at with the road in this
location. It would leave h�im �aith a lot of about: 18, OOO . square feet,
which wou]_d have to be one lot, because he could not get the minimum
width o� 75 feet for the two lots even though ttiey would meet the
sq��are footage requirements for two loi:s.
Mr. Dropps slid this road was supposed to fit into an all-over
plan for this area. Mr. Ilarris said i:hat was his understanding of
the pl3cement of this road also.
Mr. 0' T-3annon said that if this road COU�C1 �J0 swung South a little
bit,�he could g�t his two lots. He sho�ved the Commission a copy of
his prc�po.�ed H�ath�r IIil.ls Thixd Addition so they cotzld see the problem
he would havc if this road stayed ?s its present location. I,�r. Harris
said th� road and bir. O'Pannon's plat �a�re off about 20 feet. Mr.
0' Bannon saic': he wou]_d end up �aith a lot 130' x 14 0' which �rould be
too narrow to make into t��o lats.

r�r. Uropps would bend the street sev�n feet
Block 4, and Mr. O`Bannon �•aould bend the
his plat, this would give then both t�ieir
the frc�nt foatage requircments. Both
said that could be made one of the stipu-
this plat.
Chairman Zitzpatric}c said that most of the people in the audience
for this plat seemed to be the people fror,l Ferndale �•�Tho wer� concerned
about 61st Avenue. Those people were shown a copy of the plat, and
were satisfied that 62st Avenue t�aa� not g�ing to be. extended.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Dr_opps i� there had been any negotiations
betwecn the Theilmanris and himself since the last meeting? Mr. Dropps
said he hadn't tal}:�d to the Theilmanns at all since the last meeting.
He said 2iis tizoughts were that he gcL al1 the other problems worlted ou�
on this nlat first. �t the last meetii�g there was discussion by hirnsel.f
about coming to an agreemc�nt on the Sc�uare footage valuation of the
properi�y and that he would �ao.rk with the T1-�ei_lmann' s on t:hat basis .
�ie thougl�t thut wliat the City had use�d for a squar.e footage valuation
on the properi�y they purchzsed for the additional park land woulc� be
a good figure t.o start n�gotiations wii�h. H� said they left a 15 fc�ot
stri.p the Theilmann's n�ed to P.lat their prooerty, and he needs the
corner of Iiriardale Road, and once trze squ��re footage valuation had .
been worked out, he didn't think this should bc too diificult to nego-
tiate. '
Mr. Narris a�)ced what �;i.nd of retaining walls they would be using.
to mainta�.n this three to one slope. Mr.. Dropps said he couldn't say
bccausc the toY�ography map with thc� elevations was d�l:ivered to tize
City I1�i11 and ttiis �aas thc first t5.m� he l�ad seen it. Mr. Clark said
the��e werc�l3 verti.cal £ect to ma}:e up, aiid tllis could be worked out
wii.h a comb.inat.ioi� of terr�-�ces and retaining walls. Mr. Droi�ps saici
the e�ic�inccr h�.�d pi:ckcd the �aor:�t s�ol: on thc pl�it i�o work on. A�r. Clark
said this was corrcct�. Mr. Dropps sa�.d the maximum would be 13 feet

Mr. Dro��ps said that what.ever
would ao, as far as the rei�aining
prablem was mostly on Loi:s 3 and
aesthetically and for safety it
terracing on these lots instead
tMr. Clar.k sai.d there are some �Lr.ees on this pl.at, on both the
West and South boundary, that �aill have to come out to devclop �:his
plat. There won't be any trees left. He said he thought the membrrs
, of the Conunission and the people in the audience should be awarc o£
this.
'Mr. I-Iarris asked P•2r. Dropps if he was still planning on having
' unc3erground utilities witlz this $2 a month charge for life. Mr.
� Dropns saic� he did, and he thouqht he liad received a le-�ter frorn the

Upon a voice vote, a1l vo�ing aye, the motior�
A'ir. Clark said that aboui� half of B1ocY. 4 is zoned R-1 and
R-3. On the portion of this block tha-L- is zoned r�I-1, thcre arc�
single f_amily homcs on the occupied lots.
Mr. Muhich said hc had contactec� all the owners of the prop�rty
in this b]_ock, and with the exception of P�. Leonard Benson, 154
Lanc�f_ello�a Street, i�hey were all in favor of thair property being r�-
zoned to R-l. �
Mr. Benson said the reason he obj�cted zo this rezoning was
becat�s� he has to look at industrial clevelopment across the street
so hc didn't mind having industrial development next door. As his
garag� was in the b1-1 zoning, arid as he was in the const.ruction business,
he thought that at some tin�e, he �aould like to have a cabin�t �hop ii;
his garage, which he cauldn't do if his property was rezoned to P.-1.
Mr. Harri_s said that he kne�a I�Li:. Niuh�ich had done a lot of wo?'k
on tlli.s reques�L, but as this ii�volved a lot of_ property owners, h�
would li}ce to see a petition from these othea- owners asking far this

Mr. Richard O�son said that RAO Manufacturing Company was a corporation engaged
mainly in the manufacture of sheet metal stampings, deep dra�vings, stamp and assemblies,
along with tool and die making, engineering and related items to this process. In
1970 t�re purchased approximately 5 acres at 200 Mississippi Street N.E. We went ahead
with preliminary soil sampies, etc., and also approached the Fridley City Council for
land use approval, which ��as granted. At that time we mentioned that approximately half
this property was zoned commercial and tf�at it would have to be rezoned industrial for
our use: The Council had no objection to this rezoning. He said they had been trying
to demolish the old buildings on this land and they have run into some problems with
this, but we hope to have it completed very shortly. We are planning to start construc-
tion on this property this spring with completion within six months. We also have a
purchase agreement of a pie shaped tivedge of approximately 68 feet that was west of
their property, along the railroad right-of-way. He said this was part of Q1ock 7,
Lowell Addition to �ridley Park and was about 3/4 of an acre that is zoned M-1. He
said they t�ere proposing to construct a building of about 50,000 square feet which is
200 feet by 240 feet by 2Q feet high. It would be bui�t basically in the center of
the property, 220 feet from the Easterly boundary of the property. The reason for
building at this location �vas because of�the underpass project on Mississippi Street,
which will limit our access to the building to the Easterly portion of the property.
Any future expansion of this building wouid be to the West. He presented a colored
rendering o�F the propo�ed metal building which he said would have earthy colors.
Mr. Qoardman said they did'have an option on the location of the building. T:f
for some reason, the rezoning was denied, they could locate the building on property

property for parking. He said
one zoning, for resale purposes
�
Mr. Robert A. Olson, Jr., said the only way they would want to use this property
' was if it all had the same zoning. The property wouldn't have the same potential
otherwise. He said the proposed 50,000 square foot building could be expanded to
100,000 square feet if this property was all M-1. If they could only build on the
� property that was presently zoned M-1, they could only expand their bu�lding to 75,000
square feet. He said the main reason for moving their business from Minneapolis
to this location was so that they would have room for expansion.

Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman that if this property was expanded to its maximum,
would there be enough room for parking?
Mr. Richard Olson answered Mr. Harris. Ne said their present plan called for
57 stalls. Under the City Code we would need 52 stalls, and if this 50,000 square
foot building was �!sed to the maximum, we would need 63 stalls. On this same dratving,
we.have provision for up to 700 sta]ls. If we went to the maximum of 100,000 square
feet, we would need 165 stalls. This would all be on the Easterly portion of the lot.
We do have room on the West for additional parking. He said they knew they had to
provide additional parking as they expanded the building, so their expansion �vould be
somewhat determined by this factor. He said he couldn't foresee expanding this property
to its maximum in his lifeiime, and who knew what mass transit there could be at that
time, which could change parking requirements.
Mr. Harris asked vrhat the setback requirements would be from adjoining properties?
Mr. Boardman said the property to the West was industrial (M-1) and the building nie�
the requirement there. South of the property was zoned R-3, and it meets the setback
requirement for that zoning. East of the property the zoning was C-2S, and it met the
setback requirements. He said there was some R-1 property across from part of the front
of the building, so the entire setback for the front of the building should be 100 feet.
RAO Manufacturing Company will be going to the Board of Appeals for a front yard variance
from 100 feet to 70 feet. Mr. Boardman said it was felt that Mississippi Street was a
natural barrier between this property and the R-1 and would act as a buffer. If the
variance was granted, 4re felt it was better to have this variance on the front setback
rather than the rear yard so the building wouldn't infringe on the R-3 zoning. Mr.
Boardman continued that RAO would be using berming and landscaping across from the R-1
zoning which wou7d be an additional buffer.
• Mr. Robert A. Olson, Sr. said he felt this was a very unique piece of •land. In
, view of the fact that Mississippi Street was going into an underpass situation, the
only access to all this property was on the Eastern end. It was a good thing for the
City to have this property under one ownership because of this one aceess. He said there
� wasn't even access to service the sanitary sewer line on this property from the street.
Ne said RAO t�rould provide access for tilis purpose. He said that no way would RAO .��ant'
go ahead with the developijient of this property, with all the money it would cost for its
� development, and take a chance on getting it all the same zoning at a future date. He.
said that at the tirre they acquired this property, there weren't any plans to upgrade
Mississippi Street.

LJ
�
Mr. Drigans asked how the access to this property was laid out in relationship
to the underpass? Mr. f3oardman said he thought there was about a four foot drop over
the entire parking lot, and about a 2 foot drop from the parking lot to the street. The
grade starts to drop on Mississippi Street in tf�e vacinity of 2nd Street. Mr. Clark
said there ��rould be about a 1% grade from the street into the parking lot of RAO. He
Plannin Commission Meetin - Januar 22, 1975 Pa e 4 � C
� �
said the�grade on mississippi Street would be about 5q. .
� Mr. Langenfeld said that he had noticed in the Council minutes of January 1�,
i971 that Mr. Olson, Sr. had said that they wanted to be good neighbors, that they
would save all �he trees they could in the development of this property, and thai
' truck traffic �rould be kept to�rard the railroad righ�-of-way, and that they did not
intend their building to be an eyesore.
Mr. Dick Olson said they had gone with .the earthy colors for this building
, because that seems to be the most popular concept at this time.
Mr. Langenfeld asked if ihey had a night shift. Mr. Dick Olson said they did.
� They were in operation from 6 A.M. to 11 P.M. He said they have worked on the noise
levels for both their employees and noise coming from the bui7ding itself. He said
it was a quiet operation, and the design of the new building would have �he production

MOTION by B1air, seconded by Harris, that the P.Zanning Commissjon close the
Public Hearing on the rezoning request, ZOA #74-05, by RAO Manufacturing Company.
Upon a voice vote, a1l.voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Drigans questioned if this type of manufacturing was allowed in M-1 zoning,
which was the zoning the petitioner was requesting. He said the Code says that foundaries
or metal fabrication plants are an excluded use in an M-1 district. .
Mr. Harris said he thought �his was a problem of technoTogy again. He said that
what the intention of the Code meant to exlude was forged steel metal fabrication, but
just plain metal fabrication was something much different, such as just making metal
frames for windows, for instance. Mr. Dick Olson said that because of the quietness of
their operation, he thought they urould conform to the requirements of M-1 zoning. Mr.
C�ark said they did appear before the City Council in 1971 and got land use approval
for this business, and were only told to get their entire property under the same
Zoning, which was M-1.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said that if there was a serious question on whether this
was a permitted use in M-1 zoning, this should probably be continued until we gei
clarification.
Mr. Drigans said on one hand we have an operation with a low noise level and they
are in light metal fabrication, and on the other harid the Code says that metal fabrication
plants are an excluded use in M-1 zoning, which probably means pound•ang and forging out
of heavy metal products. He said he would like an interpretation of the language of
the Code. • ' -
Mr. Robert A. Olson, Sr. said that four years ago when they appeared before the
Council, we were assured that we did comply witii the regulations of M-1 zoning. He said

Planninq Commission Meeting - January 22, 1975 Paqe 6 7 E
73 1/2 Avenue N.E.
Mr. Clark said the land that was being platted was split in half a couple of
years ago, at the zoning l�ne by the now defunct American Auto Llstings. Th� East
portion of the property was occupied by Gustafson Grinding, and the balance of the
property was vacant. Parcel 4780 was only 140 feet deep and 1,33� feet lonq. Mr.
Doty Wanted to have anoiher lot spi it on_ this .pro(�erty ��hich wou]d have divided this
parcel into three parts, but as you can tell from the Public Hearing notices, there
would have been lengthy legal descriptions. He said he advised the petitioner to plat
the property instead. This request was before the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities
Subcommittee on January 15th and they recommended approval with three sti�ulations
which were (1) Provide a 15 foot drainage and utility easement along the Northerly
portion of Lot 2, and on the North-South line between Lots 2 and 3, and along the South
portion of Lot 3, (2) This approval subject to the rezoning request, ZOA �75-01, and
a request for a Speciai Ose Permit, SP �75-01, by Central Auto Parts, being approved, and
(3) A private covenant be put on Lot 2 so that this said Lot 2, Central V:ew Manor 2nd
Addition, could on�y be sold to adjacent property o�rrners who already have street access.
Mr. Clark said this last s�ipulation was io prevent Lot 2 being sold as an isolated lot
ihat didn`t have s�reet access. The petitioner was agreeable to these stipuiations.
Mr. Clark continued, saying that Central Auto Parts, the teniative purchaser
of Lot 2 of the proposed plat, has requested that the Westerly 60 feet of this lot
be rezoned the same as the balance of Lot 2, which vras'M-1, and that a Special Use
Permit be granted for all of the new Lot 2, so they can expand their salvage yard,
He said ihat the City has had some problems with Central Auto Parts, most of them due
to the fact that they didn''t have enough space for their operation. Their business hds
grown faster than they anticipated, so the addition of Lot 2, should solve most of
their problems. They would have to discontinue parking damaged and partially dis-
mantled cars in their parking lot, whichwas supposed to be for customer parking, and
using property across the street, which they don't own, for parking. Their business
would have to be confined to their own property, with a screening fence.
Mr. Clark said the staff had prepared a list of stipulations for the Planning
Commission to consider in making their recommendation on ihe Special Use Permit. The
first one was that there must definitely be a screening fence. The second was, ihat
especially along the portion t:hat abuts the trailer park, there should be at least a
1,0 footP��ant�ing strip, 7ike an evergreen hedge.� outside and adjacent to other zoned
property, to be completed by July 1, 1975. The third stipu7ation was that a11 storage,
unloading and loading of inoperative vehic1es be confined within the screening fence.
(4) That parking of trucks, loaded or empty, be restricted to the area inside the
�fenced lot, (5) That all dismantling or parts salvage be done inside the•existing
building, {6) No vehicle parking be allowed in the street or on any other land that
is not authorized by the City Council ar the City. The last stipulation, number 7,
was that this permit be for a period of time, to expire on July 31, 1976, and not be
renewed unless all of the above stipulations were compTied wfth. Mr. Clark said the
reason the staff felt this should have a yearly review was because this hasn't worked
out the �vay we thought when the original Special Use Permit was granted. There are
three ways the petitioner can go ��ith this operation. Either reduce his operation or
move out, or acquire more land for this operation.
Mr. Clark said that Central Auto Parts owned
View Manor. Mr. Fitzpatrick said that was why they
the Westerly GO feet of Lot 2 then, so it woiild be
ti�at Lot 2 was in line with Lots 10-16, but Lot 16
Lots 10-15, Block 1, in Central
were requesting the rezoning of
the same zoning. Mr. Ciark said
belongs to another saivage yard.
Mr. Clark said there were a couple of other comments he would like to make.

He said Fridley Auto Body has cleaned up its operation also.
Ghairman Fitzpatrick said he thought they should consider the preliminary plat
first, and be aware that Lot 2 in this plat did not have street access.
Mr. Harris said the reason for the stipulation that there be a private covenant
on Lot 2 was because we didn't want, at a future date, `to have this lot change owner-
ship to someone who didn t already have street access because the City could be placed
in a position of fiaving to condemn street-right-of-way for this property.

Mr. BuzicE: said that if they had to move the fence in, they would be losing
area again, and he thought they needed all the area they could get. He said the reason
they didn't put in the �rood fence was'because it was against State regulations to have
a wooden fence for this type of operation.
Mr. Daty said that as long as the fence for Fridley Auto was on the property
line also, he thought it was a little premature to expect Central Auto Parts to move
their fence at this time. He felt that as long as this Speciai Use Permit was going
to be subject to yearly review, this could be taken care of at a later time. Mr. Harris
said they could �•�ait far the natural screening bet���een the C-2S zoning and the M-1 zoning
until the C-2S property was developed. He said the screening fence should be brought
in from the property line in this area also so the plantings could be put in a� a later
time, ►�rithout moving the fence. He said the natural screening (plantings) should be
started along the R-4 zoning during this years growing seasort.

Mr. Quzick said he wouldn'i want to agree that no dismantling at all would be
done outside the building.. Sometimes someone needs a door or some other part for a
rush job, and although they don't like to dismantle outside, in an emergency they do it.
He said that he would agree that no major dismantling be done outside the building.
The Planning Commission members agreed to this, on an emergency basis. Mr. Clark
said he would have no objection as long as this didn't cause noise po7lution. He said
they could monitor the operation, and check this stipulation at the time of renewal of
this Special Use Permit.
Mr. Clark said he thought the review of this Special Use Permit should be during
, the growing season, rather than a year from today. If they should recommend more fencing
or plantings at that time, it would be easier to comply witi� at that time of the year.

Mr. Clark said he hadn't been aware of posting Public Nearing notices three
days in advance of the meeting, but he would��see that they were posted, so'they wouldn't
have to be read. '
NOT�: Upon checking, the City Charter only says ordinances and resolutions have to be
' read. It was the Council's decision to post these three days prior to t'he me�ting
so the� could waive the reading. There is no requirement to read the Public
Hearing notice on anything e1se. Therefore, there shouldn't be a motion to waive
' the reading of the Public Hearing notice. Instead there should be a motion.to open
the Public Hearing, stating the time, and a motion to close the Public Hearing,
stating the time. ;

satisfaction with the City. He said he invited them to send a representative to the
Rlanning Commission workshop meetings as we were working on the City Code. .He.asked
the secretary to notify I�)r. Dunn that the vaorkshop meeting this month would be on
February 5th.
Mr. Langenfeld said he had some comments on the joint meeting with the Bi�keway
Committee. He had some basic concerns, which were:

the railroad, because this was a major problem
Mr. Langenfeld said he did learn a lot at this meeting, and wanted to thank the
Chairman for the invitation.
Mr. Drigans asked that copies of the minutes of this meeting be made available
for the Pianning Commission.
Mr. Narris said he agreed with Mr. Langenfeld's concerns and thought that it
came down to how this would be paid for. He said it could be paid for out of property
taxes, or they did have some other alternatives, but whether those alternatives wo�ild
be available witi� our present economy, might be in some doubt. Mr. Langenfeld said
that according to the figures given at the meeting, the bikeway would cost �32],ti80.
It was broken down into five phases and Phase I would cost �62,OOU, so we are talking
about a lot of money. ,
' Mr. Urigans asked if there had been a priority set up as to what would come first,
the bikeways or the ���alk��ays. Mr. l;lark said Phase I was the bikeways. Mr. Urigans
said he felt that more people could use walkways than bikeways. Mr. Blair said that
' when you were talking about that much money, he felt the City had need for other things,
such as an activity center. .

sai� someone from their family had used this facility and were familiar with it. Mr.

Mr. Harris-said the Qiketi��ay Committee started out with a survey. lhey found
there ��rere 28 neighborhoods in Fridley with no cohesive force to pull them together.
We don't have one school district. There is no common denominator in the City of
Fridley. ��r. Langenfeld said he thought tfiat one of the purposes of the bikeway
was to eradicate the naturai and man-made barriers. Mr. Harris said that a civic
center, or youth center, or whatever you �vant to call it, could make a focal point.
Mr. Drigans said the property that the l�Jall Corporation owns would be a good location
for something like this; because the library was already at that location.
Mr. Narris said the problem was to find funding for this purpose.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said Fridley had a great need for indoor recreation facilites.
Mr. Drigans said it seemed to him that we could get some of these things, like an _
indoor s��rimming pocl and an-activity center, along t�lith the armory. He felt there
should be a study made on ho��� much it ��rould cost us to have an armory large enough
to have it combined ��ith a youth center, indoor swimming and/or other indoor recreation.
Mr: Blair said he felt this would be the easiest ti,aay for Fridley to get these facilities.
He said the indoor armory parade ground could be used for an indoor gymnasi�um. Mr.
Clark said the Council ��rould be having a Public Hearing on the armory proposal on
February lOth. Mr. Drigans said he thought funds should be made available to �have an
arhitect come up with some alternate plans for what Fridley might want to inclt�de in
an armory. Mr. Blair'said there should be plans from other armories where they had
combined facilities. Mr. Fitzpatrick said there probably were, but at their meetings
on the armory, they didn't hear of anyplace that had extensive in�door recreation. Mr.
Clark said the City could have almost anything they wanted in an armory, but they a�ould
have to be willing to pay for it too. Mr. Drigans said that if it was something that
the National Guard could use also, the State would share in this cost, but not the
Federal Government. He said he thought the armory proposal was at the Council level
prematurely, and should prabably be referred back to the Planning Commission. Mr.
Clark said it would depend upon how the Council feels about a youth center. If they
aren't in favor of this, then it goes back to just being an armory proposal. Mr.
Drigans said the armory could be a dual purpose building, and this might make it more
palatable to the community.

Chaix'man Drigans stated that tYiis sam� property is before the Planning Commission
far rezoning and also was �iefore ��sildinq Standal:ds-Dcsicrn Control. TIe �aid
currentiv the Plannina Commission has tabled_ the rez�ni.ncr £or a lectal opinion from
the City Attornev as to �his tvT?e of bvsin�ss onerat:.on (metal iabri,c�ation) beir.q
allowed in an M-1 Zoninct. He sai,d tiie Zoni.nq Code coul.d be interpret�ed to exclude
it from M-1 ZoninQ and the Planninq CemF?tission wants a lec�al oUini.on on the inten�,
of this Uart of the Code. Chairman Driaans added tne netitioner has verified ihat
certain noise level.s are within the standards. He said that the Board of Apveal's
action, if it is approval, snould k�e contingent upon -the approval of the r�zonin.g.
Mx. Dick Olson shawed the p.lot plan of the property to the Board. He stated on
this property, the setbacks are basically determined by the adjacent zoning
districts. fie said the fra,it yard seti�ack �ao�alc� usuall.y b� 35 feet but� because of
the different zoniny, they are required to set back l00 feet, He said the back yarcl
setback would usually be ?_5 feet but because of the dif_ferent zoning and ar. easement
it has to be 50 �eet. A'tr. Olson said they have set out the building as a wholcs, with
maYimum land use. He said they have placed the bui].ding as far to the �vest as
possibl.e because of the railroad trac}_s, and also as far back into the lot as possibl.c�.
He said they have tried i�o design thc� buildir.g to be as wide as the lot c•rould allow
and still nc�t be a1I str.�.tr_hed out_ FIe said the buil.ding i•�ould be an all stee].
building arid to go to the next smallez wiclth size, woiil.d r.equire cilariging th�� ��arking
area from the sicle to the front, Dlr, -0l�on sa9.d thcy would prefer ta stay with the
50 foot rear yard setb�c}: aiid a�k for tl�e varianr.e �n the front yard because the

r9r. Olson stated that becau:�e of t.l�e ��.r.oposed improvc�ment of. Mississi��pi Street,
there sliould be no pr.oblem if t.he v�ir:i��nce was grarited. FIe :aicl since the street

encroaching on their property.
Mr. Plemel stated the plot plan shows the proposed building plus a possible future
expansion. He asked if the expansion would also be metal. r�. Olson answered
that they h�ve to plan on complete usag�: of the land and the complete building will
be all metal construction. T•�, Olson showed the Board a colored renderiny oF �he
buzldin,. Mr,. Olson explaizl�� their buiiding will c�nsist of a concrete slab, a
stzuctural steel, fra.n�: fo� the wall,� � and c�i].ing, aiYd sculpt�.Lred st��el paii�l� that
have a tex�ured look bolted onto the frame. He added the panels are paintec�. at
the factory and are quaranteed for 20 years. He said they are quite efficien�.
rirs. Wahlberg asked what the efficiency rating was. Mr_ Olson said heat and noise
wise, the efficiency rating was equal to a 3 foot concr.ete block wall.
HIr. Olson added that because of the residenti.al property to the north and south of
this building,, they will have thei.r pr�duc�ion space in ti�e middl,e oF the bui)_d�.ng,
surround.ed by concrete walls, pl.us th.e outside s��el wal.l., so the?-e shoua_d be no
probleFas �ri.th nais2. He addecl that th�.s type o£ bui..:l.�ir�g is mor.e ex��tns�ive th�n a
concrete buildir�gr but because r�f the reat savings and exoansion savi.ngs, the
buildings pay for trarns�lves. He said for expanding, a wall can be unbolted fzom
the frame, the ada?tional Izng�n erect�ed, ancl tne sa�r?� :,rall can then he reused, He
said the buildings come Gompi.ete fram the factary.
Mr. Crowder asked what the axea of the land is and wha+� percentaqe wi].J be used
for the k�u�,ldi�q. Mr. Olsoxi sa.i.d their.. toLai: building �aill be bailt i�� tliree
stages. The bui.lding they ar.e proposing naw will have 48,000 square feet.with
the two future stages havir►g a total of appr�ximately 52,000 square feet. He said
they will be slightly under tY��e 4Q percent maxirium c�verage with the total building..
Mr. Crowder asked if there w?11 be a pra}-�l.sra�aith the parking for the total building..
Mr. Ma�tson said there will be no prob].ems with the fixst stage of construction,
Mr. Olson added that the use for the second ancl trizd staa�s of construction is
not definil,e as yet and_the use would deter.rt[ine the parking spaces.:needed. He said
he believed tha� the Building S�ar�dards ror,ani.ttee woulc� have to approve the future
construction plus the additianal parking necessax'ye
Mr. Crowder ask�d if the exit froa� this bui]_di.ng would be onto blississippi Str_eet.
Mr. Olson answered that Mississippi will be the only acc.ess to the praUerty,
� Chairman Drigans askEd how many people would be employeed at this building. Mr.
Olson said initially they are planning on 50 e^►ployecs; 34 during the day shift
and 16 at night. H� said eventually, when the total building is constructed, they
, may have 165 employees with 80 to 85 on each shift. He addzd that he was on]y
guessing at thec�e figures.
�
�
�

'
Dir. Crowder asked if all the loading, unloading, and parking would be on the east
side of �he building. blr. O],son answered that it would be.
hirs. Flahlberg asked when they plannPd on starting constzuction. P9r. Olson said he
hoped in the spring, but it �•lould dc�pend ori firiancing, Iie added it would than take
appro:cimately 6 months to comolete and they ho.ped to be in the buil.ding by f-a11.
i��r. Olson said tliey are noia in t}ie �roc�ss oF closing the d�.al on the land a�id when
it is complete, the existing farr,l buildings will be torn down.
Mr. BoU }3razil, 731-6i3tYi Avenue.N.L., said he has worked £or tP�is company for many
years and there couldn't be nicer p�ople to work for. ITe said this company e;�pl,oys

said if- this variance was denied, the driveway would have to be reduced to 15 f eet
and the parking stalls slanted more.
The Minutes oE the Board af Anpeals Subcommittee Meetinq of January 28, 1975 9 C
2�1r. Crowder added that the semi drivers will have to back into the parking area and
if there is a 5 fout green ar��a, they will probably drive over it, especially in the
winter time. P�irs. Walberg ask�d about the snow removal from the parking area; would
it be pushed onto somebody el.ses property.
t•ir. Crowder lsked what the ratio �vas of the building to the land area. It was
figured out to be uncler 40 percent.
rir, Plemel stated that this building is bigger than the first proposal but tnere is
one more lot, so they shouldn't need to ask far a zero variance on the driveway.
Chairman Drigans said his concern c��as that ttiere is no agreement with the adjoining
property owner for the zero setback or the snow removal. .
Mr. Mattson stated that Mr. Paschlce of Paco, Inc. had indicated that he wanted to
pick up the lots to tne south of t.zis property for another building site and then
combine the parking tor both buildi.rLgs, C�ai,rman Drigans staten tha� t�lr. Pasch;�e �
might be able to buy tY�em but then so�eon� else might buy thern too. The Board can't
make it's .�iecision o*_r only a possibi_li.ty.
Mr. Snr�ngler s�id tha� the garage for the dwelling ta the south is located toward
the adjacent lot line.
The side yard variance iiom 35 feet to 33 fee� wa� then discussed. .
Mr. Crawder said because of this being a corner lot, they get caught with a 35 foot
setback on both sides. He as'.�cad what the drivetaay on this side (78th Avenue) o� the
building was for. Nir. Sprangler said this was for a drive-in door. P4r. Crowder
asked if it will be used by semis. NIr. Spr.angler saict it would be used mostly by
vans to drive into the building. . .
Chairman Drigans asked if this was a speculative building. Mr. Sprarigler said
that it is being listed through Thorpe so they might have a buyer for it.
Mrs. ��ahlberg asked if the building was moved 5 feet closer to 78�h Avenue, and
eliminating the 5 foot variance on the south, wQUld tY�is create any Problems with
the aesthetics of the area. The Boara then looked at th� aerial map of this area
and also the Onaway are� site plan_ Chairman Drigans nated that the setbacks o�
the buildings from 78th Avenae are not all uniform so to move this building closer
to 78th Avenue would not create any special problem. :
A discussion on the variance for the off-street parking next to the main building
brought out that Building Standards had stipulated a bumper rail be mounted on tha
building if the Board approved this variance. Chairman Diigans noted that this
variance along �aith the bu��per stipulation has been approved for quite a few of
the buildings constructed in this area�.
The variance for the rear yard was discussed. P�ir. Crowder said he was more
concerned with the rear yard var.iance than the others. He said the fIarra.s building,
adjacent to the rear yard, had some problcRis c�ith the u�ility poles in tl:e easem�nt.
The Boarc] was shocan the Itarris bui.ldinc3 �lot plan. CYi�irman Drigans stated that
accordinq to the plot plan, the IIarris builciing has an 8 foot rear yard which
would 1.eave 15'� f.eet be.tcaeen the two buildings if this variance was approved. He
added that the buildings would be relatively close. .
Mr. Crowder said .he taould be willing to grant the same rear yard variance on this
pro�erty as was granted on the FIarris property.

The Fiinutes of the Board �f Aooeals Subcommittee Meetinq of January 2�3, 1975 g D
M�. Crowder said he woulcl like to get P•ir. Paschlce's zeaction to moving the building
5 feet farther north_ fie said this c,rould mean denying the side yard setback i'or the
driveway from 5 feet to zero feet and increasing the side yard setback from 7oth
Avenue from 35 feet to 2£3 feet. P�1r. Spr��ngler said he was sure t•Sr. Paschke`would
agiee to this. Chairraan Drigans said this wou].d also allow for snow re.moval.
Mr. Plemel said he favors neither variance and feels the building should be
shortened. � .
Mr. Nlattson said the normal drivecaay length is 25 feet, and in this case, if the
building ��as moved, the drive{aay would still. be 28 feet. Chairman Drigans added
there is also a 15 foot boulevard before the street so it would not create any
visibility problems.
MOTION by Wahlber_,�, seconded. by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, tYie mation carried. •
Chairman Drigans said he favored moving this building farther north as the adjacent
properties are not in line,and wit'h tne boulevard it would sti].� b� 43 feet trom
the street, H� said. by r.ioving it ahead, it would also allow more flexibilit�-• in the
back for the seinis and snow removal. He also favc,red moving it.as Paco does not.
own the adjacent land and because they do not have an agreement for the snow rem�val
or the zero side yard with the �roperty owner.
Mr. Crowder said he also felt the dxiveway variance should be denied and the side
yard variance approved, with the understanding that if the applicant won't cu�
the building down by.5 feet, that the Board would consider granting the side yard
variance �rom 35 €eet to 28 feet.
� MOTION by Plemel, second�d by Crowder, to recommend to the C�.ty Council, a���roval
of the rear yard variance from 25 feet to 7.5 feet, and, denial of the variance
to reduce the distance the driveway is from the ]_ot lir.e from 5 feet to zero feet,
, and, approval of tne variance to reduce the distance otf street parking is away
from the main building from 5 feet to zero feEt with trie stipulation of a bumper
i rail to be installed on tr�e building, and, approval of the variance to reduce the
side yard abutting a side street from 35 feet to 33 feet, with a maximu,-�t variance
, down to 28 feet if the building is moved 5 feet farther north. Upon a voice vote,
I there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.

N(jNlffES OF THE REGULJ�R PARKS AND RECRF.ATION CONIMISSION MEETING JANUARY 2O, 1975
Meeting was called to order at 7c40 p.m. by Chairman Blair.
Mt�iBEFZS PItESi�]T: Blair, Caldwell, Harris, Wagar
MEMBERS EXCUSID: Peterson
ori'f�RS pRESII�T: Ed Dupay, 5618 5th Street N.E., �idley, 560-1302, F.Y.F.A.
Don Nelson, 5797 Washington St. N.E., Fridley, 566-2329, F.Y.F.A.
�Chuck Kasick, 7361 Concexto Ctiirve, Fridley, 786-2345
: : ■:►
Mr. Blai.r said that the biggest change in the rules wc�uld be in the pPx'iod
times. He said that currently the Pony and PeeWee's play 10 minutes, and ttze C�ibs
play 12 minutes. The change would have the Pony and PeeWee's playing 8 minutes
and the C�ibs playing 10 mis�utes. This change will confonn to high school rules.
He stated also that they were adding paragraph 54., which states when the point
difference in any of the three divisions �ceeds 25 points, the remairider of the
game will be played using ninning time. He mentioned that the time-outs at the
er�d of each half will be changed also. He said th.at there will not be charge
time-out, just a notification to the bench and �•iay will continue. Rule 7.3 also
has a change, in that now the timeout will be ci:arged to the team rather than the
officials. This will ensure that the coaches can go out and make certain that the
boy is alright when injured. Mr. Brown suggested that they take the 7.3 rule and
revamp it thanselves, and then ccxne back to the Cc�unission when it is settled.
Mr. Blair asked Mr. Dupay and his Board to review these it�ns and get back to the
Cce�ission. Mr. �upay mentioned that he had a few rule changes himself which he
would like to impl�nent.
Mr. Blair cca�mented that the only other it�n was that they wanted the weigh-ins
' to be conducted by a representative of the teams rather than gaane officials. He
said that way they can get the kids weighed in and out on the field quicker. Mr.
Nelson said that he w�uld like to see the weigh rule changed so that more kids who
are overweight, could play. Mr. Dupay said that might be samething they could
rlook into. Mr. Blair ccxtanented that he would like ta see the equi�ent weighed
so that the boys wouldn't have to strip dawn.

Mr. Blair said that he wished to discuss the paragraph on participation which
states that each boy shall play an equivalent to one series of downs each half.
He said that he w�uld like to see it increased, as he didn't feel that was enough.
He asked Mr. Dupay to look into it.
Mr. Blaix mentioned that they should call the Park Office between 4:00 p.m. and
5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and on week�nds they should call the H.A.F. President frc�
12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in case of poor weather.
�'�:�:�1
Mr. Dupay said that he was concerned regarding the new scoreboar�. He wanted
t�o know if Mr. Brown was going to have scgneone running it. Mr. Brown replied that
the City will be providing saneone, but that if the F.Y.F.A. wants a P. A. S�st�n,
they will have to provide it. He said the City would be paying scxneone pes game
and he will have control of the lights, opening the gates, opening t�e building,
and nulning the electric scorebo�-�rd. This will be his job. He explaincd that
they can't have 10 or 15 fans, etc. up in that scoreboard, as the building is not
that large, plus someone could get hurt going up and do�m, fooling around. He said
that thcy will post a sign stating that it is a dangerous ladder, for the kids to
keep off. :

tMi.nutes of the Parks & Recreation Cc�rnission Mee�inq January 20, 1975 �O A
Mr. Dupay asked Mr. Brawn about so�ding the foot]�all field at Caranons. Mr.
I3rawn explained that they'are going to res��d it first, and if that isn't success--
ful, which it should be, then they will resod it. Mr. Nelson mentioned that they
had tal}:od about contributing to the cost of the sod and installing it. Mr. Brown
explainc�i that if the reseeding is done properly, it is guaranteed. He said that
if it doesn't w�rk out in 1975, they would welccane the help and contribution in
1976.
_� �, ,• �

Mrs. Caldwell brought up the point that the coaches have groblems with the
audience and playexs. She said th�at if there were sane sort of "clinic" for the
parents to participate in, they could better understand the rules, and there
weuld be less probl�ns. She said that she already knows several mothers who will
personally call each hc�ne and try to get those garents out. She said that if the
coaches would explain the rules and etiquette of being fans it would make a hig
difference. Mr. D��nay felt that was a good idea and suggested that Mrs. Cal�well
contact Helen Bryne, the Director of Girls Flag Football. Mr. Nelson mentioned
that last year many of the coaches had a"parents night" the firs� few weeks of
the season and explained to them the rules, what e�cuses were acceptable for not
�attending practics, etc. Mr. Kasick said that there are new proposed rule.s.
When they are finalized, they will be given to the children to take hane. Mr.
Brawn mentioned that it was up to the Board ta review the rules. Mr. Blaix said
that he would be glad to attend the Board meeting to discuss the rule changes when
they are ready.
' Mr. Dupay said that the association which they have formed is the Sports
Association, which includes football, girls flag football, women's auxiliary,
basketball, and Babe Ruth baseball. He said that Helen Bryne is handling the
' girls flag football. He said that she should have a Board of Directors. Mr.
Blair asked it the Sports Association overlooks the.rules and policies of their
divisions. Mr. Dupay replied that they did.

Mr. Brawn discussed the fact that in the original agreements the rules and
regulations have to be approved by this Cc�mission. He said that they were going
to have to contact Mr. Nielsen arx3 go over the old agreements and restructure
all the sports. He said that the City puts out a great deal of money and they
have an obligation. He also mentioned that the Depariment has to take it's hat
off to all the fellows in the Football Association, for the job it does every year.
He said he would hate to think of what the City �vuld have to pay if it was all
on a dollar pex hour value. He thanked than for all the work they have done on
behalf of the citizens of Fridley. Mr. Blair said that he also wished to t�iank th�n
for all their efforts. He thanked th�n for coming and asked them to ccene back when
they get their reorganization done.

Mrs. Caldwell asked if it wr�uld be possi.ble for us to have parking in the
school parking lot. She said that there will l�e a problcm with the bikeway paths
in that there will be no parking on the street. Mr. Dupay said that we need a
sign stating there is additional parking in the sciiool parking lot. Mr. Brawn
said that the school will allaw parking there. Mrs. Caldwell mentioned that the
�
'
Minutes of the Parks & Recreation Camnission Meeting January 20, 1975 Pa' �O B
Bike�ways Committee requested that she encourage the City and the school. to do what-
ever is necessary in order to get the people to park in the school parking area, be-
cause the parking restrictions will present parking will present parking probleqns.
Mr. Blair said that the bikeway syst�n is designed as a transportation systFSn,
rather than a recreation syst�n.
�� ►• �Y.�C _ �
Mr. Brown s�ated that the phone suxvey on snaw�nobile and letter on snowmobiles
, in Lacke is for the Cca�mission's information. He said that there are only twr�
cities out of the entire poll that provide sno�miobile areas on land. They are
Fridley and Edina. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Brown what he proposed to do with Locke
� Park in regard to snowmobiling. r2r. }3rown replied that the City Council approved
alternative #2, which states that snawmobiling is allowable and should be posted.
He said that the new state law is that if you allow it, you must put signs stating
t it is allowed. The C�ission discussed the fact that they feel snoc�rnobiling will
not be allowed in Fridley in a few years, due to abuse of private pro�rty, etc.
NOCKEY - CHURCH
� Mr. Brown reported to the Ccgran.ission that he had received a letter frc�n a�
minister of one of the churches in Fridley, canplaining about hockey games being
scheduled on Sundays. He said that he had given a copy to Bob Olmstead, President
of the Hockey Association. Nir. Blair mentioned that he had talked to Mr. Olmstead
about the letter and Mr. Olmstead said that the conflict was not with the City
group, but with District #10, because they are scheduling the games on Saturday
and Sunday, and this the Hockey Association has no control over. Mr. Brown said
that the Hockey Association should contact District ff10 and advise the�n that they
have sc�ne concerned people. He stated that he realized that this is the.only time
they can get indoor ice, so that is why they schedule the games then, however, people
should have the right to go to church if they so desire.
Mrs. Caldwell suggested that the Fridley Hockey Association state they will not
play games scheduled on Sunday, but Mr. Harris pointed out that s�ne kids we�uld show
up and scgne not, resulting in Fridley's games being.forfeited.
�: ■� : ':1
Mr. Brawn said that Gary Stinmler had called him in regard to the goalie shoulder
pads. Mr. Sti�nler felt that the City should provide th�n. Mr. Brawn said that we
already provide ches protectors. Mr. Brown explained to Mr. Sti�nler that the kids
probably won't wear th�n, they'll throw them in a corner, etc. Mr. Harris pointed
out that you would have to have different sizes, and you run into a problem there.
Mr. Brown said that he felt that shoulder pads are really a personal piece of
equiFanent. He said that maybe they should talk to the H.A.F. about providing thc3n.
Mr. Harris carnnented that if you start to pravide shoulder pads for the goalies,
where do you draw the Iine. Mr. Brown pointed out that many of the kids buy their
awn hockey sticks, and don't even use the ones provided by the City. •

CITIZ�N BIKEWAY C.OMMITTEE
January 22, 1975
Bill Gerads, Bette Papke, Bobbi Spaeth, and Jerry Boardman
MEMBERS ABSENT: Vern Moen, Lee Houck, Jan Thomas, and Dennis Schneider
Vice-Chairman Bill Gerads opened the meeting $t 7:50 p.m.
Jerry Boardman set out a schedule for the next meeting dates;
Wednesday, January 29, 1975
Wednesday, February 5, 1975
Wednesday, February 12, 1975
Wednesday, February 19, 2975
Mro Gerads aske� how the bikeway proposal stood at the present timz. Mr.
Boardman said they had received a reply from Burlington Northern in regards
to the railroad crossings. Burlington Northern is not going to make a decision
on it, if the City would Iike to pursue it further it will have to be turned
over to the Public Service Safety Commission. Mr. Boardman said they could
recommend an on-grade crossing and go to the Public Service Safety Commission
in hopes of getting it across. Other alternatives would be to push a tunnel
underneath the railroad tracks or set up an alternative route. Befite Papke
suggested a culvert. Mr. Boardman said they may be able to lay the culvert in
place by grading it down and iaying it in place at the 83rd Street crossing.
However, the 61st Street crossing is of prime importance and �ould have to be
tunneled.
Mrs. Papke asked if they could put a culvert in separate from the bike system?
Jerry Boardman thought it best if they could put the culvert in with the
bikeway system, because Council wou2d probably not approve a culvert without
a plan. Bill Gerads suggested proposing a tunnel but leaving it in Stage 3.
Mr. Boardman said that would be realistic enough. He said they could push
for a culvert or at least a safe crossing.
Mr. Boardman said they must make a decision on the parking r�strictions on the
streets. Total bans on parking would be Mississippi, Old Central, and Osborne.
All other Class 2 routes would have a seasonal or hourly ban on parking on both
sides of the street. Mrs. Papke said they could have parking on one side of the
residential streets. She was opposed to banning parking on City streets. Mr.
Boardman said they could have some problems with parking bans in the 7th Street
areao Mr. Boardman said he did not see where the people would object that much
to an hourly ban. Mr. Boardman said it was the Cornmission's option to set the
time limi,t on hourly bans. Bette Papke said if they were to propose this plan,
ahe would like to see much publicity given to the residents to give them plenty
of exposure so they will have the opportunity to come and voice their opinions.
Mrs. Papke said she would like �to see banning on one side of the street, putting
it betcaeer. the parking ].ane and the t�affic lane. After a lengthy discussion,
the committee members agreed on all Class 2 streets with some dissent, aZong
with notification to all parties affected.
Jerry Boardman said an article related to the bikeways system and publication
� of the route system would be put in the Sun and Minneapolis Star. Mr. Boardman
said if a newsletter was sent to citizens in the near future, an article could
be published in there also.

Mr. Boardman indicated the staging is set up according to funding programs.
The Committee will have to put their recommendations for funding to the people,
list the funding possibi2ities, recommend certain types of funding, but the final
decision will be City Council's. Mr. Gerads said he would like to s�e the plan
proposed on present budget where the taxpa�ers will not have to pay. Mr. Boardinan
said they could recommend that it not increase the City taxes.
Mr. Gerads suggested having the PUBLIC HEARING set for WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26.
It is important that there is full participation at this hearing.
Mr. Boardman pointe3 out that since they have the goals and objectives set out,
the program should be set up as clossly to those gQals as possi�le. At a future
m�eting, the committee will discuss ordinance changes. Mr. Boardman said he
would send tf�ese changes to the Police Department and City Attorney for certain
recommendations. Mr. Gerads suggested getting the school involved in regards
to using their parking facilities. Possibly a representative from the Co�ununity
School could attend a meeting.
The committee held a discussion on the propos�d sidewalks. Mr. Board_nan said
the City's 5 year sidewalk improvement program is quite an extensive program.
They discussed the sidewalk system and what the Committee's plan would invoZve.
Mr. Board:nan said a� the last meeting they decided to recommend to ;,ity Council
to change the �policy on City roads only if they w�uld get other funding possibilities.
Majority of the members agreed to having the sidewalk syste►n separate from the
bikeway system. .
Mr. Boar3man said two new members had been appointed to the Bik2w.ay Co�n:nitteL,
but he had not been able to get in touch with them yet, he s-�.id he would help
orientate them to the p.rogram before one of the next meetings.

AGENDA M�MO
January 30, 1975
T0: Fridley City Council
FROM: Bill Nee
SUBJECT: Activation of CATV "Govt." Channel
Recognizing the Council's desire to improve communications with
the public, I undertook discussion with General TV several weeks
ago to explore possiUZe uses o£ the "Government Channel."
It seems that the most feasible procedure at this time is the
use of the channel in a"Bulletin Board" format. This will cost
us nothing out-of-pocY.et.
General TV has a 6 channel "character �enerator" which is used to
� program channels such as their Progxam Log. At the moment this
instrument has excess capacity and they will allow us to use one
channel in the generator for city purposes.
Our cost would be in the "time" of a city employee to prepare the
announcement�copy for each day, and for a typist to go to General
TV once a day to type the copy into the character generator�s
memory.
This would allow us a"xoll up'� bulletin board with a copy change
as often as indicated. I presume on a once-a-day basis. .
The capacity is 4l lines, 24 characters per 2ine.
This line is 24 characte��,!
It would permit the same kind of copy now being used on tiie
Community Bulletin Board, meeting notices, information of such
items as snowmobi2e ordinances, dog ordinances, agenda highlights
and so forth,
The questions I would like to pose are:
l. Do you want to undertake a project such as this
at this time.
2. If so, do you want to establisli guidelines on content.
�. Who should liave responsibility £or content clearance.
j� It is my feeling that we should undertake it, and that Peter
Ilerlofsky s}iould be charged with coordinating it, with final
i daily clearance by Nasim.

RESOLUTION PROV'.CDING FOR THE PUBLIC SALE OF
$l � 220, 000 GEDIERAL OBLIGATION REFUi`IDING BONDS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fridley,
��innesota, as follows:
l. The City presently has ou�standing $875,000 principal

maturity at a combined average annual net interest rate of 6.779�.
The City has been advised by Ehlers & Associates, Inc., financial
consultants to the City, that the interest cost to the City could
be substantiall.y reduced by refunding in advance of maturity all
outstanding bonds of the above issue, and that the refunding pro-
gram could, at present, be undertaken in such a manner as to comply
with Minnesota Statutes,�Section 475.67, and applicable Federal

MEMO T0: NASIM QURESHI, CITY MANAGER, AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARVIN BRUNSELL, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: REFUNDING BOND ISSUE
DATE: JANUARY 30, 1975
In 1974 the City Council passed a Resolution authorizing the City's
� tiscal consultant to proceed with preliminary work on a refunding
bond issue. One new bond issue would be issued to refund two existin
� g
bond issues. There would be a savings to the City in doing this,
' because of r-he difference in interest rates at the present time com-
pared to the interest rates at the time of the sale of the original
bond issues (1970).
Mr. Seegar Swanson from Ehlers and Associates, Inc. has prepared twcs
different payment schedules. One shows a savings of $37,947.50, and
the other schedule shows a savings of $67,947.50. The schedule with
the greater savings has an-accelerated payment schedule; that is, the
bonds would be retired sooner than under the first proposal.
The two bond issues in question are a water works bond is�ue and a
special assessment bond issue. I feel the City can handle the accele-
rated payment schedule and, therefore, should take advantage of the
increased interest savings if we go through with the refunding bond
issue.
Mr. Seegar Swanson will be on hand at the Council meeting to answer all
questions the Council may have, and will have all the necessary Resolu-
tions and other documents with him that must be acted upon.

Enciosed are copies of the refunding schedules for special assessment
bonds and waterworks revenue bonds issued in 1970. The savings on
refunding these bonds at the present time is reduced to $37,000 from
the $78,000 projected when the refunding was first proposed. The
reduction is'due to the fact we are one year closer to the call date
on these bonds. Refunding becomes iess advantageous the closer you
get to the call date. We see no advantage in waiting further to consider
this refunding.
A second refunding schedule shows a total savings of $67,947• This
saving resuits when the refunding bonds are matured as close as possible
to current debt service levels assuming that revenues available for
outstanding bonds would also be available for refunding bonds. Fo11ow-
ing this system the principal on the refunding bonds is shorter than
the principal on outstanding bonds and a greater savings is realized
in the final three years of the maturity schedule.
I will be on hand Monday, February 3, to explain the refunding to the
City Council.
Sincerely,
EHLERS AND ASSOCIATES, iNC.

JANUARY 30, 1975
SUBJECT: POLICE STANDARDS SELECTION PROJECT
I have reviewed the material provided by Jack Irving regarding
the above subject and find it sufficiently informative �or
presentation to Council. It would then be my recommendation
that the sample resolution be retyped in our format and that
Council be asked to simply agprove the resolution which would
indicate the City's support of the Police Sel.ection Standards
Study. In addition, I would attach the two letters provided
by Jack Irving,in the Council agenda as background material for
Council`s deliberation.
I can see no benefit to any additional data being provided since
we are simply asking the resolution of support without request
for funds. The amount of funds that is alluded to an order of
two ta three hundred dollars would simply be an operational line
item expenditure.
I am taking the liberty of sending one copy of this information
to our local Police Civil Service Commission sinee it is directly
related to a portion of their functions as defined by State
statute. The data is beinq furnished to the Civil Service Commis-
sion for information only and I can see no reason for any action
to be taken on their part.

Members Metropolitan Area Manactement Association
Jack Irving, president
Police Standards Selection Project
At our January zneeting held at the Sheraton Inn on January 16,
we voted unanimously to sponsor an area wide research effort to
attempt to develop some uniform poli^e selection standards for
our metropolitan area that will meet the requirements of the
Federal Equa1 Employment Opportunity Act. This research eff_ort
is basically a continuation of the work that v�ent inta the de-
velopment of. the new police selectian written examination that
has recently been developed by the r�innesota nepartment of Per-
sonnel Ser�ices. Our study wi11 continue with the selection
process from this point through the speci�ic areas of_ physical
requirements, medical requirements, educational recruirements,
and psychological requirements. �
As we discussed at our meeting of the 24th, we will wark with
the �letropolitan Council on this gazticular project since they
have an area wide concern in this r.latter and the staf.f capabil-
ities for grant administration. The grant project itself_ wi11
be directed and controlled by Task Force, or a users board if_
you will, made up of inembers of the Metropolitan P_rea ^4anage-
ment Association with some inpt:t from our Police Chief_s Advi-
sory Board.
�� EncZosed, for your information, is a copy of a le�ter I am send-
ing to John Boland to initiate the grant application process.
I am also enclosing a dra�t resolution of endorsement for this
�� project. I would appreciate your takina the necessary action
of having your respective City Councils adopt this resolution.
These resolutions from the independent communities within the
metropolitan area should be very help.ful in obtaininq the sun-
'� port of_ the Crime Commission for the funding of this project.
I would appreciate a copy ofy ouur resolution by February 20th.

Our plan is to seek a$75,000 grant for the first year of this
project. As you ar� perhaps aware, we will be required to co1-
lectively provide a five percent (5b) cash r��atch tou?a�ds this
grant, with the State of Minnesota providing the balance of
the required ten percent (10$) total cash match. Breaking this

down by communities it should require no more than $200 to $400
from each of us to meet our share in this project.
I think this project will �e a significant step towar�3 collec-
tively solving a problem facing all of our communities. It
is clearly a positive actian for the Metropolitan Area Manaqe-
ment Association to take in a problem solving area. r will
look forward to your help in implementing this project.

Chiefs Advisory Board to the M_etropolitan Area Managernent As-

The Me�ropolitan Area Management Assaciation is concerned about
the very critical: need for establishina police selection stan-
dards that are compatible with Federal ea,ual opportunity require-
r:tents . As you are undoubtedly aware at least two of. our rlem-
ber cor_imunities are presently enqae�ed in litiaation over the
issue of police stanciards. Gh7here Iitigation has become z.nvolved,
commtznities are f_requently f_aced with a moritoriuri on fillinct
police officer vacancies. The critical impact that this mi�ht
have on smaller suburban communities is obvious.
The Metropolitan Ar�a Manag�ment Association represents the
city managers, and thezr communities, in the seven county metro-
politan area. cae are collectively concerned about addressina
this major probler:l �nd attempting to resolve it on a joint basis.
[ae have met with members of your Criminal Justice staff as well
as members o� the Crime Commission staff itself. Tahat is cur-
rently•needed to resolve this probl.em is a major research ef-
fort to estaiilish a reasonable palice selection standard in
the areas of education, physi.cal reauirement�, medical rec�uire-
ments, and psychological reRuiremeni.s. It will also he neces-
sary that the results of this research effort be directly ap-
plicable to the police syster.is we operate in the immediate Twin
Cities Metropolitan area. In reviec�ring the nroblem, and oar-
ticularly its need to apply to a number of policincr aaencies,

with the financing of a Federal Law Enforcement Ass�stance Adr.lin-
istration grant. Since this is a joint metropolitan wide pra-
ject, we think the adr.linistration of this grant snould he cen-
tralized in an aqency having metropolitan area concern. tr'e
there�ore would respectively reauest that the Metropoli.tan Coun-
ci1, an behalf of the Metropolitan Area Management Association,
becor.le the grantee for this project. The project itsel.f woulcl

Area r4anaqement Association and would work cooperatively with
your staff to implement this project.
At the January meetinq of the Metropolitan Area Management As-

passed a resol.ution approving participation in the project with
the Metropolitan Council as the grantee. This vote was cast
by 40 city managers all representinq comznunities within the

We wilZ gxeat2y appreciate your assistance in dealing �aith this

SUBJ� CATV "Free Installation" Extention
�' As you are aware� the CATV Franchise Qrdinance provided that
General Television would offer "Free Installation" to subscribers
who signed up for the service during the "Introduciory Period."
, This "Free Installation" period expired Friday, Jan. 24th.
' Unfortunately, because of several problems mainly relating to
the time of year, weather etc. this int�oductory period passed
xithout most families having the opportunity of signing up.
I discussed this recently wi th Texry Schuster, the �Ianager of
the F�idley CATV system.
I'm happy to advise you that General Television has agreed to
extend the period of "Free Insta.11ation" for at least another
three months� or until all homeowners have been contactea and
beeg given an opportunity to take advantage of the fxee offer.
I hope this meets with your approval

Dear Mr. Sobiech:
Enclosed herewith is a copy of a letter addressed to A.J. Chromy Construction
Company, under date of January 17, 1975, which is self explanatory. Said letter
was sent to Mr. Chromy by registered mail. Mr. John Corcoran of Western
Casualty Surety Company contacted me on the afternoon of January 22, 1975,
to inform me that he was having a meeting with A.J. Chromy Construction to
discuss the letter and wished some background information, which he received.
�o date we have not received any communication, written or oral, from A.J.
Chromy Construction Company. The letter of January 27, 1975, informed the
contractor that the city intends to complete the construction work, under the
above reference project, in accordance with the contract specifications and
general conditions if he did not proceed to commence construction on the
balance of the work prior to January 30, 1975. No work has been started by
A.J. Chromy Construction Company as of this date. If the city wishes to com-
plete the above reference improvement, it appears in order for the city council,
as owner, to officially notify the contractor to commence work within 10 days
of notification and proceed to complete the contract under General Conditions,
Paragraph GC-23, and/or GC-24, and/or GC-41.
The maj.o� work to be completed is the construction of a 54" culvert under Alden
Way. This work amounts to approximately $18,000 based on units of work and
adjustment unit prices as shown on the contractor's proposal. Last week we
asked the contractors now working in the City of Fridley, under Improvement
Projects Nos. 113 and 116 to submit a quotation on completing the installation
of the culvert at Alden Way based on the estimated quantities shown on the plans.
The two bids submitted amount to $34,400 and $45,400. These two figures are
substantially higher•than the contract amount mentioned above.
�
' '
'' Mr. Richard Sobiech -2- February 3, 1975
' We recommend that the city proceed under general conditions paragraphs mentioned
above and inform the,contractar, by registered service, of their intention, and
' that upon notification of zeceipt of the city's communication Co the contractor,
that a meeting be conducted to discuss ramification of this action and that the
' contractor and his surety be invited to attend said meeting.
Please advise us as to what action and procedure the city council wishes to
' pursue to bring this contract to final completion.
Very truly yours,
