MR. JOSEPI-i B. WOOD, MANAGER OF APARTMENT ON SATELLITE LANE, PRESEN�'ED PETITION
OF RESIDENTS FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING: PETITION N0. 4-1975 :
MOTION•by Counc:ilman Breider to receive Peti�ion No. 4-1975 from the residents
at 195, 175, and 155 Satellite Lane who request additional parking on the apartme�it
side of the street or the north side of Satellite Lane. Seconded liy Counc�lwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously. , ,
Councilman Breider explained the history of the placement of the no parking signs
in the area by indicating that this had been requested by the home owners in the area
the previous spring. He mentioned there was a number of reasons for the request
at that time. He listed a few of the problems as follows: danger created by
parking of cars in area of school bus pick up, problems in plowing the narrow
roadway in the winter (31 feet), problems of access for Fire DQpar6nent vehicles.
Councilman Breider said this is an ��rea wl�ere there is a difficult corner and is
dTfficult to travel with.cars parked on the roadway.
Councilman Breider said a resident of the area had called him and indicated that the
pet7tion.: would be presented at the meeting, and also that some of the residents would
like to make comnents concerning the parking problems in the apartment area.
Mr. Joseph Wood, Manager of an apartment building on Satellite Lane addresscd the Council
and explained that previously there had been no parking signs on both sides of the
entire street. Now, according to Mr. Wood, there is parking allowed.30 feet beyond the
signs in some areas. Mr. Wood explained the problems incurred in showing the apartments

to rental prospects when they are not allowed to park in the front of the building,
but had to be directed around the back of the building and told where ii would be feasible
to park. He also said the parking in the back of the building is set aside for the
residents of the building and there is not adequate space for parking of visitors of the
residents.
Mr. Wood requested the Council consider allowing limited parking on the north side of the
street in front of the apartment buildings. Mr. Wood explained that all of the residents
of the building had been notified concerning the en`orcement of the no parking regulations
and at t'imes there are some difficulties. He �id when there is a car parking in this
area and they are not able to determine the oarnership of the vehicle, they call the
police and have the vehicle hauled away. Mr. Wood suggested some modification of the
requirements be taken such as limited two hour parking on the north side. He continued
to comnent that with the amount of taxes paid to the City by the complex, he thought it
would entitle the residents to have more desirable parking conditions.
Ms. Marcia A. Sadowski, 155 Satellite Lane, Apt. ,#32, addressed the Couecil and said she
had had problems with the situa.tion being there is no place for visitors to park. She
� pointed out if she were to have a dinner party or bridge party, there is no place
for the guests io park. There.is not enough area in '�he back of the building for both
residents and visitors. She requested that some space in the front of the building be
allowed. Mr. Sadowski said many prospective tenants are frightened off by the tedious
parking situation. She also mentioned that people are reluctant to visit the residents
because they do not'want to be forced to walk for several blocks after parking their
car. She again requested the Council consider limited parking.
\
Mr. Alvin J. Wadman, 155 Satellite Lane, said he had called Councilman 6reider concerning
this matter after he had noticed that there is parking across the street in front of the
homes that are occupied by the people that had requested no parking in the area.
Mr. Wadman said he objected to the reasoni�ng that the chidren in the area are in danger
when waTking to catch ±he bus. He stated he could count the young people from the
apartments that catch the bus on his hand and the majority of the students come from
the other direction. He thought the problem of parking would be just as serious on all
of the streets in the area if this was to be considered criteria for this regulation.
Mr. Wadman requested parking in the front of the building to a]low the visitars to
park in frontof the doors. '
Councilman Breider stated the problem in the area is that of the apartment owner in that
not enough space was provided for parking when the building was constructed. Ne said this
matter had been reviewed by the Council and staff a number of times. Councilman BrE�i�er
said there is a real problem in the winter months because it is difficult to make the
turn. Counci]man Breider said he believed this ta be a difficult situation and he
sympathized with the residents of the area. Councilman Breider questioned the feasibility
of the owner purchasing some additional property to the west of the complex for additional
parki.ng. He asked how this property is zoned. The Public Works Director said this is
zoned industrial.
Councilman Breider asked if the owner had ever been taiked to about the additional parking
facilities. The City Manager said the staff had worked on this possibility and had
drawn a sketch of the proposal for,the owner. He said there is a vacant �iece of property
to the west of the building.
The City Manager expressed the opinion that another possibility may be to have the
owner petition for an increase in the s�ze of the roadWay. He said if it were more
than 31 feet wide, this could accomodate more parking and alleviate the problems.
He said if the apartment owner is willing to bear the� cost, this st�AUld be a possibility.
The City Manager said i�E there is no solution to the problems immediately,there is
also the possibility of creating such ]imited parking for a short period of time. •
Councilman Breider said he did not feel the two hour limit would be feasible especially
in the case of the lady who had mentioned bridge parties. He questioned if the guests
would want to go out and move their cars to comply with the two hour limit. He also
asked if the City would be� capable of enforcing this type of requirement stating the
cars would have to be constantly checked and marked for the length of time they had
been in the area. Councilman Breider said he would suggest that the property o��mer
be encouraged to purchase more land or that the street be widened.
Councilman Starwalt said he fully agreed with Councilman Breider that no change be made
in the area at the present time and that some alternative solution be considered.

Councilman Starwalt directed his comnents to the people present and to the people
residing in the apartments and asked if they had ever contacted the owner of the
building and requested additional facilities be furnished. He suggasted they all work
together for a proper and suitable solution. Councilman Breider also questioned if the
person who owns the building had been contacted for a solution. The people present
said the owner had been aware of the problems. Councilman Breider asked what the owners
reaction to the proposal of additional property for parking had been.
Mrs. Wood addressed the Concil and said thisproposal of providing additional parking
to the west of the builidng had been discussed with th�e owner and he had indicated he
was not in a position at the present time to purchase the addiiional property. She
recalled at the time the buildings were being cez�structed there was adequate parking
and there was no thought of the needs of the future. Mrs. Wood said she had carefully
instructed new tenants on the parking regulations of the area at the time they rented
space. Sh� indicated each of the residents is provided with a set space in the back
of the building. Mrs. Wood confirmed the remar!;s concerning the hassle involved in
�showing the buildings £or rental and said by the time she had to explain to the
prospective renter how to come to the area and meet her in the back of the building
so she can point out the proper parking area, this '�scourages the people from even
looking at the apartments.
Mayor Nee asked how the people of the area would feel about
� would require the deposit of around 20� to park in the area
fact that in other areas, this is not required and she did
to the residents of the area. She stated she thought this
toward the people of the area.

property and believed there to be a possibility that this parcel could be leased

Mr. Wood asked if the suggestions of the City would be submitted to Mr. Edstrom,
the apartment complex owner.

Councilman Breider suggested that the property owner be informed of the City's outline
of possible solution and that a copy of the petition signed by the residents of the
apartment complex also be given to the owner.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to give the apartment owner a reasonable amount of time
to come up with a solution {or the parking problems on Satellite Lane and that
the Administration be directed to prepare a document for the owner listing the possible
alternative solutions and suggestions and that a copy of the petition be sent to the
owner and that the on street parking may be open for ahout a period of two months
until some solution to the problem is developed by tfie property owner. Seconded by
Councilwoman Kukoa�ski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.
Mayor Nee asked the apartment manager if Mr. Edstram, the apartment owner is in the City
of Fridley often. He questioned 'if he could be asked to stop by and see the City Manager
so that m�nunications could be open on possible solutions to the problem. Mayor Nee
explained that the Caan�ii wants to accomodate the problem and perhaps there could
be some give and take. '
MRS. KATHLEEN MALONE, 6131 BENJAMIN

EST FOR PLACE OF STOP SIGN
Mrs. Malone addressed the Council and indicated thatthe residents in the neighborhood
had petitioned the City for placement of a stop sign and a sign had been installed, but
not in the location where the property owners had requested. She stressed a real need
for the sign in the area where it was requested.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the area could be reviewed for the placement of the stop
sign on Benjamin Street at Briardale Road and also Benjamin and 61st. He reiterated
the remarks that this had been petitioned for and the people were under the impression
that it would be placed in the location desired. He indicated he did not feel that the
sign that was placed in the area was the real answer to the problem and he would like
to point out some reasons for this that had not been noted previously. He explained
that there is a bus stop for young people attending school on the corner and there is a
great deal of construction work going on in the area. He said the traffic creates a

a hazard for the children meeting the bus. .Councilman Starwalt said there is a speed
or dragging situation occurring and this is enhanced by tfie wideness of the street.
He also corrnnented that as long as this area is continuing to develop, he believed that
the stop sign is place� in the position requested.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to instruct ihe Administration to place a stop sign on
the north and south sides of Benjamin at Briardale Road. Seconded by Couricilwoman
Kukowsk�. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried

DISCUSSION OF APPLICATION OF STORI
:WER ESCROW FUNDS IN 7NE BRIARDALE ADDITION
The City Attorney said he had met with the Attorney for Mr. Richard Miller that
afternoon and the Attorney had requested that the Council continued the consideration
until the first meeting in May. Mr. Herrick said the Attorney had said he would ]ike
to outline his position on the matter in writinq before that time.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to tablethe consi:cteration of the escrow accounts
in Briardale Addition until the first meeting in May. Seconded by C�uncilman Breider.
Upon a voice vote, all votinq aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
(Note: Further action was taken later in the discussion.)
Mr. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson B7vd., addressed the Council and pointed out that
there were people from the area present and perhaps they would like to comment on the
matter..
A resident of the area asked what the consi.�leration•meant at this time.
Mayor Nee explained that the develope�°, Mr. Richard Miller, had escrowed monies for
storm sewer improvements and Mr. Miller believes the money should be returned to him
and the City feels it should be applied to the storm seH�er assessments.
The Gity Attorney said he did not want to speak or� the feelings of Mr. Seiler, Richard
Miller's Attorney. He indicated that Mr. Miller had individual contracts with the
property owners in the Briardale area and this might have some bearing on the problem.
He said this is a decision that either the Council or the Courts would have to make.
Cauncilman Starwalt said he was aware of three different contracts that the deveToper
has entered into with the property o�yners of the area. He said any deci:sion on
this situation might be out af the City's hands.
The City Attorneysaid he agreed in that he had heard about three types of individual
contracts between Mr. Miller and the home buyers. The City Attorney said he did not
wish to speak for Mr. Seiier.
; The City Manager said there would be some concerns for the City Council regardless
of the statements of the Attorney for Mr. Miller. He pointed out that if the property

owners were to be assessed, this would involve payment of. penalties and interest at
this point. The City Manager said there are a number of alternatives open to t he
Council. He explained that the Council cauld decide to use the escrow money for the
assessments and go ahead and authorize this. He said the money could be used for the
assessments until the court of law determines the case. The City Manager explained
that there is interest money being charged during this period when the escrow question
is being pondered. The City Manager said the question of who is liable would relate
to the payment of the interest and �enalties. The City Manager hoped for a settlement
in the matter and indicated that the issue is causing public relations problems for
the administration. The City Manager said he did not know what additional material
or information could be presented by the Attorney, he has provided considerable
material and so had the administration. The City Manager said the administrative
recoi�anendation would be to have the Council direct the administration to take the
escrow monies and apply them to the assessment. After this time, if the court would
determine �.f_ this is� allowe�i or not. ,
The City Attorney said he did not see any legal problems, but there could be some
accounting problems.
Ntayor Nee asr.�d if the City had the foundation to apply the escrow money to the
assessment account and the City Attorney said yes.
Councilr�an Breider referred to the contracts between the home buyers and Mr. Miller
� and said the home buyers would be required to repay the escrow money to Mr. Miller if
the assessments are taken from the escrow account, or they would be responsible for
the assessments themselves.
�
, .
�
t
�
Mayor Nee said there would be a.problem between Mr. Miller and all of the home buyers
He questioned if the City had had the monies escrowed in order to pay the storm sewer
assessments. The City Manager said thiswas correct. The City Manger said the City
had documents to the effect and the storm sewer escrow was required to have the
assessments taken care of so that the future home buyer would not be faced wi.th addit-
ional assessments in the future. The City Manager said the people concerned had been
calling City Hall and if there is nothing that could be done to alleviate the
situation at the present time, he recommended that the Council waive any penalty
or interest that may be applied to the assessment accounts.
Councilman fitzpatrick asked if any of the people in the area had paid their assess-
ments. A resideni of Che area said they had not. Councilman Fitzpatrick said he
would agree with the recorr�nendation to waive the interest if the amounts had not
been paid by anyone. He said he wcul�d suggest this if the City Attorney did not see
any legal problem. � �
Councilman Breider said thiswould be a problem for the home o��mers if the escrow
money was put in the assessment account. He added, t4r. Miller may sue the home
owners who ,�•ought houses from him. Ne said the City would be sued or the group
of home buyers would be sued. .
The City Attorney said if the City applies the money to the assessments, the matter
1 will probably go to a declaratory judgement. The City Attorney said there is a good
chance that the City's position would nrevaii. The City Attorney further exp]ained
that with the contracts between Miller and the home buyers, he thought Mr. Miller would
bring action to collect the money from the home owners. The City Attorney said he
' thought the Council shouid consider this matter from the stand point of the home buyers
be a�aare that they may have to pay the assessment amounts to Mr. Miller in cash if the
judgement favors the City. He sai� there are a good number of home owners involved and
may be possible for them to pay for a number of years as it s:,,ands now, and after the
judgement, they would have to pay the entire amount at once in cash. The City Attorney
� corrmented that the City is not involved in the individual contracts between these
two parties and this would not be brought in to the court case with Mr. Milier and the
, City. He did mention as a practical matter, this may be a hardship on the home
owners.

A resident of the area asked if what had been paid before they had bought the home
could be reimbursed. The City Attorney said he would not want to interpret the
contracts between Mr. Miller and the home owners. He said there is $11,000 in storm
sewer escrow.
The City Manager said there had been two storm sewer assessments in this area. Project
No. 106 amounted to about $500 per lot, and, now Project No. 114 would be approximately
$2Q0 to $300 now. The Finance Director indicated that some money from the escrow
accounts had been applied to Project No. 106 and Mr. Miller said that this should not
have been d�ne. He said the same procedure had been followed in the transfer of the

, Project 106 m�ney as had been done previously by the City and what is questioned at the
present time.
Mayor Nee said if the City has a claim right to the escrow noney this should be
transfered at this time. He said if the previous policy is not going to be followed,
the City would have to be consistant and forget about the escrow in all cases such.
as.in the case of Mr. 0'Bannon and other developers.
The City A'ttorney said it might not be in the best interest of tfie property owners
to do this. The City Attorney repeated thet the prc�perty owners may be forced to
pay Mr.. Miller in case at his option. He suggested soine agreement be established
between Mr. Miller and the property owners.
Mr. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson Blvd., said he wasd not directly concerned in the
matter, but recalled it had been mentianed at the public hearing that the home buyers
had signed an agreement where they had waived any right or title to the escrow monies.
The City Attorney read this portion of the copy of the agreement to the Council and
audience. The City Attorney said he was not aware of the provisions of the agreer�ents until
he had received his agenda. He said the escrow monies could be added to the principle
price of the home or paid to Mr. Miller in cash. He said this �vould depend on the
action of the Councilconcernin� the escrow. The City Attorney said if this was before
the previous assessment, this may mean both project as he interpreted the language
of .the agreemefits.
CouncilmanStarwalt asked if the Council would move to proceed as they have in the past
and apply the escrow to the assessment, this might jeopardize the home owners position.
The City Attorney said this would have no bearing on the City's positionat all. The
City Attorney suggested when the statement is received from Mr. Miller's Attorney
by the City, it should be sent to the property owners of the area so they are_ aware
of his position. He said theremight be some option that the property owners are not
aware of or some ramifications.
Councilman Starwalt said he thought the Council shou,ld take action on the matter.
He recalled the matter had been brought to the Council's attention in the middle of
March and this should have been resolved by now.
The City Attorney said he would not object to the Council taking action on the matter.
Mayor Nee said this action defends the policy the Council has been using. He �aid if
the City backs off, there will be other escrow accounts in jeopardy. Mayor Nee said
he believed t!;�t escrow is a good principle if the people involved read the fine print,
they�w�ll knoN� that this is taking place.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to take the matter of the storm sewer e�crow in the
Briardale area from table. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee dec7ared the motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to apply the escrow funds to the assessments for
Project No. 114 in the Briardale area as had been done in the past. Secbnded by
Councilwoman Kukowski.
The City Manager indicated that if the escrow money is applied to the project, this .
wouTd document some action. He feared if something is not done the matter could
be under discussion for another year. He indicated that the people at the present time�
would have a choice of how to handle the payment of the claim, but after this �tion they
, may be required to pay the lump sum.
� Mayor Nee said he felt the developer was being given the initiative in this matter.
Councilwoman Kukowski asked if this matter had ever been a prob;em in the City
before. The City Manager said no. Councilwoman Kukowski asked if the City had enough
documentation, why would they have to wait for any information from the Attorney?
Councilman Breider said he was going to vote against the motion. He explained that he
supported the escrow, but was concerned about the people who would have to pay back
the escrow.ed amount in full at the present time.
The City Attorney said the Council might be confusing the agreemant with the people
and the contractor with the concerns of the City. He indicated that if this matter
would be involved in court, that it would be possible for him ta indicate to the court
that the contracts with the individual property owners are irrelevant to the consideration
of the action between the City and Mr. Miller. �

The City Attorney mentioned that the City had begun the escrow procedure to ensure
that the crospective home buyers would be notified that the future assessments may
be pending on the property. He said being that the people were r.otified even if they
had signed the waiver, the City purpose had been satisfied. The City Attorney continued
stating if theCity's position prevails, and he ment�oned he thought it would, this might
have some effect on the home owners, but from the legal standpoint, this is extemporaneous.
A resident of the area questioned the validity of the transfer of the obligation.
He said if Mr. Pliller is obligated to the City of Fridley, how can he transfer his
obligation to the home buyer. He said if this is a valid transfer, the property owner
would owe Mr. Miller the money.
Mayor Nee questioned if any of the homes were being financed through FHA. A resident
said the majority of the homes are conventional mortgages. Mayor Nee exp7ained with
FHA financing, the assessments have to be taken care of by the seller. He added, he did
not know about conventional financing.
A resident of the area mentioned if he is transferring the obligation, this may be legal,
but he questioned the moral responsibility.
Mayor Nee asked the resident if he wanted the City to lay claim to the escrow money
at this time. The residentsaid he thought the City should :claim the money for the
assessment accounts. .

POVLITZKI, OWNER OF THE FRONTIER CLUB LOCATED AT 7365 CENTRAf..AVFNUF N_ F_. F�R
T 4lAS
Mayor Nee asked if this item should be held until the recommendation of the zoning
is received by the Planning Coqmission.
The Public works Director said he did not believe the item was contingent upon
the recomnendation of the Planning Comnission. He said this eurrent matter is not
related to the consideration of the Planning Commission. The Public,Works Director
explained that the concern was initiated by a letter from Mr. Wyman Smith to the
Zoning Administrator, when he requested an interpretation in the granting of the
intoxicating liquor license as a legal non-conforming use. The Public Works
Director read from the memorandum from the Zoning Administrator to Mr. Wyman
Smith in answer to f4r. Smith's request for a determination dated April 7, 1975.
The Public Works Director it had been determined that the license not be issued
under the provisions of the existing non-comforming use. He listed the reasons
for denial as noted in the memorandum to Mr. Smith. The Public 4lorks Director
�+inted out on'page 4-F of the agenda, the Board of Appeals had recommended to the
City Council deny the request as per Section 205.182, Subdivision 1, to reverse the
interpretation of the Zoning Administrator. He said the recommendation of the Board
of Appeals was that the variance not be granted. He also noted on page 4-G of the
minutes that the Board of Appeals had requested the City Attorney to prepare an
opinion on whether the Board of Appeals had ruled properly. The Public Works
Director read the corr�nunication from the City Attorney dated April 17, 1975 in
answer to thisrequest.
Mr. Mark Haggerty, from the law firm Smith, Juster, Feikema, Haskvitz and Casserly,

Mr. Gill Origans addressed the Council and said the Zoning Administrator had
indicated there were two distinct problems. He said the considertion by the
Board of Appeals reco��nendation was just based on the Zoning Administrator's
letter, not the rezoning of the property.
Mr. Haggerty said he agreed with the statements made by Mr. Drigans, but he felt it
would be best if the two considerations were taken care of at the same time.

to be a foundation so the bridge could not float away. The Public Works Director
continued to explain that the bridge meets the set back requirements and will be
eight feet wide to allow two wheel chairs to pass one another. Ne continued to
comment that there will be 12 foot stalls for handicapped parking and 10 foot stalls
for regular parking. Mr. Sobiech explained that the Subcommittee nad recommended

RECEIVIFIG REPORT REGARDING BUS SHELTERS:
Mayor Nee said he had asked the City Manager to have this item be brought to the Council
for consideration. He explained that a representative of the MTC had indicated that
the City would be able to get more bus shelters than had been allocated for the City
if they would agree to construct the slabs that the shelters are constructed on. He
menti.oned he had asked the City Manager to prepare some material for the Council to
consider.
\ The City Manager referred the Council's attention to page 6-A of the agenda which had
a map of the City with the four existing shelters in the City. He continued to explain
that the three allocated for the current year were marked on the map and the other
areas where shelters had been requested through the MTC were also marked. The City
Manager explained that the pads or slabs would cost the City $350 each. The cost per
shelter for MTC would be approximately $3,000.
Mayor Nee suggested that the Council adopt a resolution indicating they would authorize
the construction of the pads if MTC would furnish the shelters. Ne suggested that the
City request ten shelters at this time, or seven additional shelters for the year.
Councilwoman Kukowski asked if the City could afford the $350 per pad. The City Manager
said the money would be available through unappropriated funds in the budget.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1975 PAGE 9
Mayor Nee ir�dicated he agreed with the placement of the shelters proposed in the tloore
Lake area and also the one south on University.
Councilman Breider asked if the Council would be sure that the shelter on 73rd would be
needed.
hlayor Nee said it would seem to him that the apartment areas should be considered.
The Public Works Director explained that the proposed sites on the map are those
which had been requested by property owners in the areas through the City or MTC. Fle
explained that the MTC will conduct traffic studies in ihe area that are proposed.
Councilwoman Kukowski mentioned that there had been two shelters proposed for the 73rd
area. She questioned if one of those could be deleted from the proposal. The Public
Works Director said this would be possible, but those on the map had been proposed
by MTC, and they had studi2d these areas. �
Councilman Breider said he had never seen people standing at the area on 73rd. He said
he had seen the bus standing there, but not people. He said he did not understand the
placement of t"� shelter on the east side of Universitv on 73rd Avenue.
Mayor Nee said the one by Holiday could draw a load as weli as the one off ot' 61st and
University. Mayor Nee said he saw people on this bench waiting for the bus all of the
time. Mayor Nee said the placement of the shelter near the Meadow Run apartments will
also draw a load.
Councilman fitzpatrici< said tf�e two areas he is familiar with had shelters proposed
for construction this year.
The City Manager said if it was the consensus of the C��_��cil that additional shelters be
proposed with the City installing the slabs, hE would bring back a resolution and map
which could be amended if the Council desired.
P10TION by Councilman Breider to direct the Administration to prepare a resolution and
proposal for Council consideration at the first meeting in f�iay, f4ay 5, 1975, which
would suggest the installal:ion of ten bus shelters to be constructed the current year.
Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimcusly. ' �
CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION RECEIVING THE OVERALL PLAN FOR WATER MANAGEMENT OF RICE
CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT AND REQUESTING ITS IMPLEMENTION:
The Public Works Director explained the proposal to be mostly history of the area. He
said the first seven chapters of the overall plan deal with the general historical
information and conc:itions and the last t,vo deal with recommendations or certain policies
to eliminate the problems. He said the final chapter is projects tt�at they propose to
institute. He said their proposals refer to channelization improvements in the lower
reaches of Rice Creek. He said the overall plan would be available to those v�ishing
to review it and he added the plan is basically dealing with areas that the City had
been concerned with for a number of years. He recalled the Council's attention that
the City•had prepared a report on the matter the previous year because there are some
problems with Rice Creek. _
�
� The Public Works Director said he thought the funding should be provided through the
Rice Creek Watershed District un a district wide basis. He e;:plained that the Rice
Creek Watershed District would have the authority to determine the benefited property
owners. He explained that the City had prepared a petition for some improvements
in the area, but had decided that this may make the City liable for the costs. Mr.
� Sobiech said the resolution of this type without the petition would be adequate at
this time.
. The City Manager said the pian had just been brnught to the Council and if they so desired,
� the plan can be considered at the first meeting in May. He said the plan had been brought
to �he Council's attention to make them aware of the plan.
Mayor Nee asked what rechannelization would be. The °ublic Works Directer said in some
, cases this would mean straightening the flow and in others allowing the proper flow
without erosion. He said it would be their intent to keep the creek as it is, b�at in
some areas, as it exists, there are problems. He also added that this may just mean
planting the proper vegetat�on to stop erosion. He said ihis does not mean that
� they would create a straight shot of the creek. He said if there would be too much
� .
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1975
alignment, this would create more s�il�ation problems.
PAGE 10

Councilman Starwalt said he was goirrq to question if the curves would be straightened out,
but this question had been explained.
Councilman Breider asked if the Fridley Environmental Quality Commission had seen the f;
overall plan. �
F
Mayor Nee said there were a lot of people that should be concerned. �
�.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the area in question. was Locke Lake. The Public Works .
i
Director said this is what is referred to in the far reaches of Rice Creek. ,
Mayor Nee asked what is meant by holding up the stream. The Public Works Director
said this would only be within certain development. He said below the area, there is
no way to get in��olved in storage situations downstream.
Councilman Starwalt said he thought the matter should go to the Environmental Quality
Commission before the Council considers it.
Councilman Greider said fie could not believe that the costs of the plan had not been
discussed. He questioned if there would be any way to deter��ine what Fridley's portion
of this project might be. The Public Works Director said without the research which is
to be done, there would be no way of determining this.
Councilman Breider asked if the Administration could prepare a ten page summary of what
the report contains. The Public 4lorks Director said he thought this was possibie.
Councilman Breider said he would�like to know what they are proposing and what the
costs will be. He said the people of the area would be be calling him and questioning
him on this type of information and he would want to know what to tell them. The City
Attorney said this detailed information may be difficult to determine at this time
because the pTan is just an overall plan. He said the problems are mentioned, but he
douoted if the answers to the channelization or costs could be determined at this time.
He said there would have to be a preliminary study before this would be available. The
�ity Attorney said no definite plans for the improve���,ii through the City had been
set out in the plan. •
The Public Works Director said perhaps he should read the section in the plan that
directly related to the Fridley area and he read the following: "G. Channel Improvements: �
Rice Creek, particulary along its final reach in the fridley area, is in serious need
of various chann2l improvements. At several locations,'the stream channel is in a
state of disrepair, resulting from the long term effects of flooding, natural weathering,
and the pressures of heavy uses. In the vicinity of Locke Lal<e and at other points in
the Fridley area, sedimentation is a major problem, associated with a erosion index.
It is proposed that the Qoard of Managers assign relatively high priority to a channel
improvement project along lower Rice Creek, from below Long Lake to the Mississippi
River. The first state of this project would comprise a detailed inventory of the
stream channel, including close examination of all hydrolic structures. An analysis
would then be made of available hydrolic and geologic information in order to establish
specific design requirements for channel improvements, eg, the use of settling basins
for the control of sedimentation in the vicinity of Loc�e Lake. A specific action plan, ,
schedule and budget would then be established for improving the Rice Creek channel in
the Fridley area." The Public Works Director said, perhaps this would mean dredging of
Locke Lake.
The City Attorney said with the Rice Creek Watershed District as large as it is,
a small mill levy could raise quite a bit of money. He believed that the improvement
of the creek would have some benefit on the entire district. He mentioned that the
representatives of the District should be having a meeting soon and the City may be able
to find out what their plans are in this area. He questioned if only Fridley and New
Brighton would be assessed for the work being done in the lower reaches, he thought
the,City should be aware of this. He added, hopefully, the money can be taken out of
State funds or a broader area of assessment. The City Attorney said the Rice Creek
Watershed District would have the power to say who is benefited and who would be
assessed. He mentioned that they would also be able to use the subdistrict approach.
He suggested the City try to get them to use the advalorem tax for the entire District.
Councilr�an Breider said the policy on what they are going to do had not been established.
He agreed with the use of the advalorem money stating they may h�ve a couple of years
accumulated before the time of the actual assessments.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1975
PAGE 11
Mr. Kenneth Sporree addressed the Council and said he believed it would be a good idea
to give the plan to the Envir•onmental Quality Commission for their review.
Mayor Nee said many people live on the body of waier that will have an interest in
this plan. He said there should be a hearing on the plan with those affected being
involved.
The City Manager said by the Council resoluticn proposed, the Council was not saying
ii: would be feasible to assess.
Mayor Nee said the resolution states that this is an adequate plan. He said he would
hate to see a sweer through Rice Creek and without detailed plans, he could not state
that the plan was adequate.
The City Manager said the document is available and if the Council would like a summary
of the plan, this could be furnished. He said Tf the Council has special comments,these
could be brought out. He said this is what the Co:;r:cil had been working for. The City
manager questioned the direction that should be taken at the present time. He said
Some additional information should be provided to the Council and thematter could be
brought back on May 5th. He said the proposed resol•':ion would tell the Rice Creek
Watershed District to move along to the future steps in the plan. He said the matter
could be brouyht with the summary report and the Council could go into depth on
it. He thought when the plans get to the project level, the hearings and commissions
should be considered, He said the presen't plan is only saying that the sedimentation
and pollut?on problems should be taken care of. He thought that the City should inc�icate
that this should be done without destroying the natural environment, then the input
of the citizens on the creek and the Cor�nissions in theCity and ever°yone else could
review the plans when they are presented. The City Manager said the City should
know what the plans are before the public hearing.
Mayor Nee said he would like to get the people involved in the begining rather than
half way through the project.
Councilwoman Kukowski asked if the citizen input could be gained through the Environ-•
mental Quality Cor�r;iission.
The City Manager said he did not feel that there would be any action on the plan
until the next year. He said the information would be made available.
Counciiman Breider said he wouTd like io have a precedent set and have the material
, , forward2d to the Environmental Quality Co�nission. He said he would like the Commission
involved right now because this is a concerr that they should work with. He mentioned
that there are people on the correnission that have done a great deal of research and
are well qualified to speak on tfiis type of matter. Ne said he would not favor the
Council telling the Rice Creek Watershed District to go ahead at this time and have
� them come back with a plan. He stated he believed the people should be involved at
this time, very early in the process.

Mr. Sporre addressed the Council and said it is what happens north of Fridley that would
bother him. He said this is the area where the controls should be placed, not corrective
measures to correct the northerly failir�s upstream. He thought the summary or ten page
report would be worthless to work from on the Commission level. He said he would like
to know what is hap�ening in the plan before the Fridley area. He said he would lil:e �
to know what measures are being taken from Lino Lakes to alleviate theproblems being
picked up downstream in Fridley. •
Mayor•Nee said the current plan is a general proposal. Holding basins are mentioned
and are to be used before the storm drainage gets to the creek. He said as far as the
creek system, this is more of a hydroloyic system, and this should be calculated in the
report. ,
Mr. Sporre said the City should not receive a plan that the Rice Creek Watershed District
says, "this is what you are going to do, and this is what you are going to get".
Mayor Nee said he thought th,e City should notify the people on the creek before any steps
are taken. He said if he resided on the creek and there was something to be done
there and he had not heard about it, he would be upset. He said if the City would say
that the action is going to be harmless, everyone would not buy this. He questioned
if the plan would be harmless. The Public Works Director said it would be beneficial.
Mayor Nee said the Council would have to strike some balance.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1975 PAGE 12
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to direct the Administration to refer the overa1l
plan to the Environmental Quality Comnission and that the people living on the creek
be notified so they can attend thc meetings of the Commission. Seconded by Coun�il�•;oman
Kukowski.
Councilman Breider said he felt that the City should notify the Rice Creek Watershed
District that the plan is being taken under advisement and closer scrutiny of the
of the Environmental Quality Gommission and that the City would get back to them some
time in the near future.
The City Manager said he would inform the District that the plan is being studied and
the City would respond sccn.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION N0. 60-1975 - SUPPORTING AMENDMEP�TS TO MANDATORY COMPREHEPISIVE PLANNING
� rrrc� nTil1��• �
Mayor Nee said the action of the Council in this instance may be after the fact. The
City Manager explained the Legislative Subcommit±E.. had approved the proposal by a
vote of ten to two.
The City Manager referred to the proposed resolution and read the following: "1.
Mandatory camprehensive planning only as it relates to the metropolitan systems of
transportation, sewers, parks and open space." He said these are the only areas
where they should have control.
Mayor Nee questioned the reasons for the Metro Council becoming involved in parks
and open space. The City Manager explained that this would be included in regional
park grants for parks such as Lino Lakes and the Chain of Lakes.
Mayor Nee asked if the Metro Coucil would have veto power on the plans for the parks
in the Fridley area. The City Manager said no, only when there is metro significance.

ION REGARDING VACANCIES ON PLAfJNING COMMISSTON:
Councilwoman Kukowski said she could not see how the Planning Commission was operating
r�ith only three members. She said it may be June or July before the Council can appoint
any new members with the consideration of the revamping of the Subcommittees. She
suggested that the Vice-Chairmen of the Subcorr�nittees be temporarily seated as
member of the Planning Commission until this time when appointments would be made.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said the Subcoir��ittee Vice Chairmen have been doing this.
The City Manager explained that this process had been started the previous week and
there would be no action necessary by the Council because this'is automaticaliy provided
for by the ordinance. �
Counci]woman Kukowski said she had heard that this procedure was possible within
the City Code �nd she thought there �vas some problem in getting it initiated. Council-
woman Kukowski asked what about the Parks and Recreation Vice-Chairman, was he
interested in serving on the Planning Corrmission. Councilman Starwalt said he thought
Mr. Blair did not want to serve and asked if the same was true for P1r. Peterson. The
City Manager said he had no definite information concerning these questions.
Counci]man Fitzpatrick said there is sti]7 a problem with the shortages of inemhers
on the Subconunittee.
Cou�cilman Qreider questioned if�the Chairman of the Environmental Quality Commission
could be a temporary voting member of the Planning Commission. He asked if there was
any way that this would be possible. The City Attorney said the Planning Commission's
decisions could carry some weight in the decisions of the Council and if the City were
involved in any 7itigation and someone �Nas voting, and this was not authorized by
ordinance, the City would be in a poor position in such litigation. He suggested that
the Vice Chairmen of the various Subcomnittees be limited as voting members until the
ordinance concerning this is amended.
Councilman Breider again questioned if this could be done on a temporary basis until
the ordinance is amended.. Mayor Nee said there are five members voting as it is now.
Councilwoman Kukowski said the Chairman of thA Environmenta7 ('•uality Commission has
more input because he has been seated on the corr�nittee.longer. The City Attorney
said this should not be done until this structure is set forth in the ordinance. He
said if the ordinance is adopted as proposed, the Chairman of the Environmental Quality
Commission would be a voting member. He said an ordinance amending this portion of the
ordinance could be brought to the Council at the next meeting with the second reading
on the same night as the public hearing on the complete ordinance.
Mayor Nee said the Council would be tak'ing some action on the proposed ordinance by
the end of May. Councilman Breider asked when the Public Hearing is scheduled and the
� City Manager said May 12th. Councilman Breider said he felt the Chairman of the
Environmental Quality Commission shoulcl be a voting member as soon as possible.
The City Manager said if this is the desire of the Council, the ordinance can be
� brought to the Council for first rea�iny at the public hearing meeting and the
following week with the second reading. He said if this was delayed any longer, the
appointments could be in June. He said with the ordinance being prepared, the appoint-
ment could take place in May.

'
DISCUSSION REGARDING CONFLICT IN TRASH PICI: UP RE6ULATIO�i�:
Mayor Nee stated the confusion concerning the coliection of trash in the City of Fridley
noting that the trash men would not pick up the trash if it is not placed on the curb,
the City will arrest those who do put it on the curb and the State would prosecute
those who burn their trash.
Councilman BReider said he thought someone in the Administration had met with the trash
collectors and resolved the question the previous year. He asked what had been arrived
at at that time. The Public Works Director said he was not aware of thts meeting.
The City Manager recalled that there had been a meeting, but did not know the outcome.
The,City Manager further explained that he would check into the matter and report back
to the Council. �
ll9
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1975 PAGE 14
Mayor Nee asked what the Council thought of this idea of having to place the trash.
on the curb. Councilman Starwalt said if the collection firm would not pick it up
unless it is on the curb, he would suggest finding one that would. Councilman Starwalt
said his contract with the collector said the two cans would be picked up and if there
is any additional trash, the home o:�ner will make arrangements for this to be picked
up.
Mr. Ken Sporre said he had a firm that would not pick up anything that was not taken
to curbside, just the bags. If the cans have bags of trash on the top of them, the
bags would be moved and cans taken without the pick of the bagged material.
Councilan Breider said he thought �:he situatior� should be reviewed. He again mentioned
he thought the problem had been solved. �
.
Councilwoman Kukowski mentioned she had r�o problems with collection, her collector
takes everthing that is put out.
RESOLUTION N0. 65-1975 - IN OPPOSITION TO ADOPTION OF SUEDIVISION D THAT AMENDS MINNESOTA
STATUTES 1974 28A.09 AS INDICATED IN HOUSE FILE 1169: ;
r
The City Manager said the bill had been proposed bec�use some areas had raised ihe fee.
He explained the approval of the proposal would take away the City's power to issue :
food vending licenses, which they have the power to do at the present time. He pointed ' f
out that the City would loose �2,000 in revenue if this change was approved. He said �
this would make the service of inspection the responsibility of Anoka County and Her�nepin , t
�
County and he felt the City would provide better service. �

the law would have to be ettforced.

PUBLIC FIEARIfdGS:
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING ON FI1�AL ASSESSMENT ROLL fOR STREET IMPROVE�dEP,T PROJECT
ST. 1974-2 COWTI;JUED FROP4 3/10/75 :
The City Manager said there are three alternative rolls for this assessment. One had
been presented at ti�e meeting the previous week.
Mr. Mervin Herrmann, Assessor, brierly explained the three proposals to the Council
and audience. The first or original roll w�uld have the side footage on th� v.est
side of 7th Street spread to Universiiy Avenue on h1ississippi Street and south side
of 66th Ave�iue and one-half oray down tf�e bloc!� or the north side of 67th Avenu2.
The second proposal, Alternate Roll No. 1, would assess the side footage orithe
west side of 7th Street spread to University Avenue on Mississippi Streer, both
sides of 66th Averue and south side of 67th Avenue. The �hirc'. Alternat2 Roll P,o. 2,
would assess the side footage on the west side of 7th Street spread one-half ti�ay
do�•an che block on Mississippi Street, both sidss of G6th Avenue and south side of
67th Avenue.
Mayor Nee asked which alterr�ative followed the past policy of the City ar,d the
Finance Director said this was �he fi;st one mentioned, the Original Roll.
Councilman 6reider said the normal City policy is to assess only one half way up
to University. The Finance Director said the alternate rolls had been requested
because in this area, there were a couple of streets that may never have a side
yard assessment. He said this is ��here the change in policy had been proposed.
He mentioned that in another area where a similar situation did arise, there had
been a change in this policy from three to four yeai°s ago:
Councilman Creider asked if there was any future assessm�:nt possible for these
properties on the westerly one half of 66th and 67th toward University. He asked
if they could be assessed for improvement of the University Avenue intersection.
The Finance Director said not that he was aware of. He said they could be assessed
some time in the future for frent assessments and curving, but not for sid2 sci°eet
assessments. Councilman Rreider asked if there vaas to be any improvemen� by the
Red Owl complex, e�ither frort or siele. The Finance Director said he could not
determine if there would be any development or changes within this area.
Councilman areider said he had received several letters from the property owrers
in the area and it would be in order to receive them at this time.
MOTION by Councilmun �reider to receive the commu�:ications from h9r. George Meissner,
373 Mississippi Street, dated March 4, 1975, P1r. Roger G. feitao, 509 P4ississippi
Street, dated hiarch 11, 1975, Mr. Lyl and ��1rs. P1arion Klous, 370 66th Avenue N. f.
dated March 12, 1975, and Mr. Larry E. Jodsaas, 347 Rice Creek Terrace, all in
opposition to a change in policy on the assessment for ST. 197a-2. Seconded by
Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee decTared
the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Breider summarized the reason that the alternate roll had been requested.
He indicated that he had favored the adoption of the roll that would follow the
policy which would assess the side yard rate only one half the r�ay up the street
until he had been made avrare that there is a possibility of some assessment to the
remain�ler of the people in the future. He recalled the poir�t made by P1r. Meissner
that at th� preliminary liearing, it had been indicated that this would only be
assessed one half way up the block.
Councilman Breider said his recominendation to the Cnuncil would be to only go one-
half way down the block to University on 66th and 67th. He said tnis a�ould be Alter•nate
Roll No. 2. Councilman Breider listed the costs in this proposed roll as $28.12 for the
front foot assessment for commercial property, $12.91 for the front foot assessment
for residential property; $4.71 per foot for the side street assessment for commercial, ,
and $2.17 per foat for the residential side street assessment.
Mr. George Meissner, 373 Mississinpi Street, addressed the Council and said he had
� written a letter to the Council that had been received earlier in the meeting. Mr.
Meissner said he had talked to a number of popele in the area and this would primarily
B
�4
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 17. 1975 PAGE ^
be about one half of the people. He said he thought he could speak for soine of them
in relating that they had been told at the prelimiriary hearing that the assessment
would only go one-half the way down the block. Ne said this is what fjr. Brunsell
had indicated at the time of tf;e hearing. He called the Couricil's attention to the
language on the public hearing notice and indicated that the area would be assessed
according to the benefits received. He said if the �ssessment is thought of in this
light, it would provide a different viewpoint. Mr. P'ieissner indicated that all of
the people t��ho live in the area would receive the same benefit from this improvment
because this is their only access to the area. Ne indicated if this would be foilowed,
the benefit would be received by the people all the way to Rice Creek. He indicated
he believed the policy of the City to be to only assess the abutting properties. He
said this may cause the assessment to become lower for the individuals in the area,
but he thought that the Council should carefully consider this change in policy. He
suggested that this is an unusual situation and that perhaps the Council could consider
spreading the assessment against the tax rolls for the entire City. He said this
may be a few dollars a year for everyone, but he felt this would be more equitable.
Mr. Meissner said he is still opposed to any assessment in this area.
Mr. P.oger Harmon, 388 66th Avenue, questioned the status of the road between 66th Avenue
� and 67th Avenue. Mayor Nee explained that this is a City road that had been improved
, by the State.Hiyl�way Department. The City Manager said it is a City Street which is
maintained by the City and this will continue to be the City's responsibility.
Mr. Jack Grimes, 378 66th Avenue, addressed the Council and expressed the view that
, if the side road west of 66th and 67th vrould be assessed this would not be too
costly. He asked if it would be possible to assess the property to the west side of
66th and west side of 67th Avenue. He said he �s paying for the whole assessment no
' matter how the roll is figured and thought this may be the vaay to do this. He said
1 this would spread the aasessment over a greater number of people. He said this wou)d
be less of a burden on those that have to pay. He sai� he would favor the assessment all
the way down to Mississippi and 66th and 67th.

Mr. Nick Garaffa, 6750 Monroe, said he thought the Council should reserve their comments
to what is being done at the present time, not think of all tne situations that may
come up in the future concerning this area.
Mr. Ells���orth Ninz, 384 66th Avenue, said he would favor everyone on the street being
assessed. He indicated that 7th Street is the only access to the area and ii. would
only be fair that the assessinent would be equal.
Mr. Lowell McGregor, 355 66th Avenue, questioned if the corner is improved, how
would the people of the area be assessed. He said that there is a great deal of
traffic in the area. He commented that he would be willing to pay for 7th Street.
Mayor Nee thought that if this type of assessment were spread, it would be very
difficult for future Councils.
Mrs.�L. 4J. Qenner, 357 66th Avenue, indicated if the assessment is to be spread
all the way to University, she would like to see the Red Owl entrarce closed. She
indicated there is a great deal of traffic created by the access to the Red Owl
parking lot on 67th. She explained that there is dirt and dust created and she would
like the exit closed. Mrs. Benner said she would be willing to pay her share of the
assessments.
Mr. John Larson, 367 67th Avenue, questioned the policy of the spread of the assessments
in this area and asked if this would be one half the way up the block. Mayor Nee said
better language to express the policy would be to say half way to the next assessable
property. Mr. Larson said if the assessment would go all the way up the street,
the area property owners would all be paying and Red Owl would pay nothing. Mr. Larson
said the road is not kept up by the Red Owl store. •
The City Attorney said he had one word of caution for the Council and indicated it
would be very difficult to show the benefit foi° any assessments back to Mississippi
from improvement of the intersection of Mississippi and Highway #47.
MOTION by Councilman areider to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously and the Public Hearing closed at 8:19 P.M•
1 OLD BUSINESS:
ORDINANCE N0. 579 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 603
� 2/3/75 AND 3/3/75):
- IPITOXICATING LIQUORS (TABLED
Councilman 6reider said he hated to bring up a new concern about the proposed ordinance,
but it seemed everytime it had been considered, there had been additional questions.
35
R€GULAR COUNCTL MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1975 . PAGE 4
Councilman Breider said his concern was that there are no possible provisions for the
suspension of a license. He said it had occurred to him that the only provision for
suspension is that a license holder is to be of good moral character and repute. He
said an additional provision may be that the license holder must meet tne 40/60 split.
He suggested that some other language be implicit in the ordinance for grounds
for suspension. -
The City Atto�°ney pointed out on Page 6-B of the Council agenda.that ±he language
had been "and repute. If the applicant has been an otivner, manager or employee of
a saloon, hotel, restaurant, cafe, tavern or other business of a similar nature, the City
Council may consider the applicant's past performance record in determining whether a
1icense shall be granted or renewed." He said this had been changed to relate to the
renewal or granting of licenses.
Councilman Breider said it concerned him that he was not aviare of what kind of
performance record that the ordinance would be directed to. He asked if this would
mean a gambling violation, servin9 liquor to miners, serving liquor after hours,
or is there a particular item that could be considered grounds for suspension.
The City Attorney said this provision would relate to the vrillful viololation of
an ordinance concerning the sale of intoxicating liquor. He said the problem in this
provision would be to prove that tf�e act of violaiion was ��illful. He suggested that
the Council not act on the amendments too soon. f;e said i� the Council desired, the
Administration could research this point and come back to the Council with a recommend-
ation that cou1d be reviewed at ano�her time. Councilwoman Kukowski ask�d if this
type of language could be incorporated in the ordinance and indicate the reasons that
the Council would take a license away. The City Attorney said if there is a viola.tion
of the State Statutes, the City would have to revoke the license. He said it would
be possible to have the same languaGe in the ordinance, butthis would not help the
City's position. He said if the Council want to incorporate some languaoe in the
ordinance to this effect to upgrade the provisions of the State Statutes, this is
possible and would strengthen the City's position. He said the City Naould be allowed
to determine this type of criteria. •
The City Attorney indicated if there is a police problem or the establishment would
be a threat or enfringement on the P�ealth and safety of th� citizens, these could be
grounds for the City to revoke the license and could be added to the ordinance.
Mayor Nee asked if the license could be revoked if the establishment was not meeting
the parking requirements of the City. The City Attorney asked ifth� question referred
to the people �vho were in business in the City prior to the adoption of the ordinance.
Mayor Nee said he was not directing the question entirely at tiie parking provisions,
he would like to know if the establishment would violate any portion of the City Code.
The City Attorney indicated he would hesitate to say that a license could be revoked
because someone failed to meet the p�ri�n� requirenents. He said if this would me�n the
existing businesses, the ordinance would have been adopted after they began opzrations.
Mayor Nee asked if the sprinkling system could be used as a means of suspension if
this is not complied with. The City Attorney answered that he could not say if this
would be absolute. He continued to comment that if the Council allowed a certain
reasonable amount of time for this install�tion, the Court after such a suspension may
sustain this if challenged. �
Mayor Nee said if the ordinance would indicate that the establishment would have to
put in sprinkling systems and provide one parking space for every three in seating
capacity and the license holder says he will not do it, now the Cit,y does nothing
about it. He said this would not be grounds for revoking the license, it would be
a misdemenor charge. The City Attorney said if the sprinkler provision was within
the ordinance and the time of the license had elapsed, �nd the license holder
had not complied with this requirement, and the Council proceeded to suspend the
license, the Court would probably sustain this position of the Council.
Councilman Breider said he was concerned about being fair to the license holder.
He said the City should tell the license holder what they expect of them. He said
also, the Police Department should kr.ov� what constitutes a violation so they can
bring any relevant material to the Council for consideration. He mentioned as an
example that there is a requirement that no one should be served a drink if.intoxicated.
He said one establishment may follow this provision and another not care about it.
The City Attorney said the Council would have the authority to act on this type nf
violat5on at the present time. Councilman Breider said he did not think the Council
was aware of what constitutes a violation that would be grounds for revocation. He
suggested that this type of discussion be conducted with appropriate information
from the Police Department and also with the representatives of the various establish-
� _ _, . .
� 3�
REGULAR COUNCIL P1EETING OF MARCH 17, 1975 PAGE 5
ments within the City. He said he did not think the Council had ever reviewed this type
of matter before renewal of.a license in the City.
Mayor Nee asked if there was anything the Council could do anyway. The City Attorney
said he did not think that this is true. He said the volume of police calls would
have some bearing on whether or not the operation was well managed.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said if such a policy is prepared, it would give the Council the
right ta issue or not issue a license. He said he felt the establishment of such a policy
would help the Counici in reviewing and would give the Council something to compare the
operation with.
The City Attorney said the Co�m cil has the inherent po�rers and if the establishment
being reviewed is such i;ha� it is detrimental to health, vaelfare and safety of the
citizens, the Council could revoke or not renew the license.
Councilman Starwalt said he agreed with Councilman Breider in that the more the Council
can put in the ordinance the more defensible it would be making it better for the
Council and the City. He said it wouid be difficult to constr�uct the best wording.
Mayor Nee asked if thE �ther ordinances in the area had been examined. The City
Attorney said the one ordinance in effect in the City had been drafted from the
Bloomington ordinance. He indicated that there had been a citizen's committee established
in the City of Fridley to review many ordinances of other communities. He said the
committee reviewed many ordinances and made a recommendation to the City Council on what
should be included in the City's o•rdinance. He said the major�ity of the Fridley
ordinance had been taken f'rom the 6loomington ordinanc?.
Counciiman Breider said he would like to establish some pr•ov�sions for the Police
Department so t�hen they come up with a violation it coulcl be brought to the Council.
He said as it currently stands the Police Deoartment has unlimited discretion and it would
be up to their personal judgement wfiether or not a violation had been committed. He said
he did not know if they should or even vaanted this type of position. He again suggested
that something be incorporated wiihin the ordinance that would establisli a policy for the
Administration. Ne suggested that the provisions of th° State Statutes be incorporated
in the ordinance andaiso many other requirements that the City may wish to establish.
He said if this is not done in form oP the proposed ordinance, the Administration should
be furnished with a policy statement.
The City Attorney said he would agree wi`th the later statement. He commented that there
had been a greai: deal of discussion on the policy and he thought that this policy should
be set down by the Council and passed on to the Administration fa�use of the Departments
involved.
Councilman Breider asked if the Administration would bring back something to the Council
� in this form to be discussed at a later date. He said he would like this statement to
offer recommendations for requirements that could be lived by, an explanation of the
State Statutes and what the rights of the Coui�cil would be in this area.
,
L�
Mayor Nee asked the City Attorney to summarize the changes in the ordinance. The City
Attorney referred to the first of three changes on Paye 2-t3 of the agenda book and
indicated this dealt with Sectior� 603.081. He read the addition to this Section as
referred to earlier in the meei;ing. He said the second change was �:he elimination of the
Section that required the manager be a resident of the City of Fridley. He said the
third change on Paye 2.-C was deleted due to action of the legislature which eliminated
the need for the sect�on.
MOTTON by Councilman Breider to waive the reading of the Ordinance and adopt the
' I Ordinance No. 579 as presented to the Council within their agenda and order publication
of the ordinance. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski.
Councilman Starwalt asked when the ordinance would be�published. He questioned if it
would be pubiished as it had been amended. Councilman Breider said this was the intent
, of the motion. Councilman Starwalt questioned if the policy to be prepared by the
Administration for Council consideration should be included. Ne referred to the proposal
of listing a policy for possible suspersion and revocation of licenses.
' Mayor Nee said the orJinance would have to be published to be in'force. Councilman Star-
�; walt said he thought that Couniclman Breider had raised some good questions and he
thought that this policy should be incorporated.
� Councilman areid�r said the policy could be up by th� City Attorney and the Administration
and this would not have to be a part of the ordinance.
e
�.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1975
The City Attorney advised the Council that if there is some after thought for
consideration or additions to the ordinance, it could be amended.
PAG
Councilman Starwalt said he thought this should be worked out better, stating th
intent of the City. Councilman Starwalt said he hoped this type of policy decis
could be brought back to the Council at their next meeting.
Mayor Nee asked if there was a motion to table the consideration and there was r
response.
Councilman Star���alt said he would favor the motion to adopt the ordinance, but �
not want the ordinance published at this time.
UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE, Councilman Fitzpatrick voting aye, Mayor Nee voting aye,
woman Kukowski voting aye, Councilinan Breidei° voting aye, and Councilman Starwalt voting
nay, h1ayor Nee declared the motion carried four in favor and one opposing.
OLD QUSINESS:
DISCUSSION REGARDIWG REZONIPdG REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF INTOXICATIP�G LIQUOR LICENSE FOR
AND
RECEIVIhG NISTORY OF THE ON-SALE BEER LICENSE AT THE FRONTIER CLUB:
Mr. Wyman Smith, Attorney for Mr. Richard Povlitzke, addressed the Council and thanked the
Council for allowing the item to appear on the agenda.
Mr. Smith indicated he had written a statement for presentation to �e Council that day
and requested to read the statement at this time. Mr. Smith read the lengthy statement
to the Council and presented a cepy of the statement to all of the Council members
and staff. At the conclusion of the stateinent Mr. Smith requested that the Council
adopt the Resolution oflintent reserving the liquor license for the Frontier Club and
indicated he would work with the applicant to see that all the City requirements are
met.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Smith to speak to the zoning question. Mr. Smith answered stating
that the Administration had said the current zoning of the property, C-1, prohibits
a tavern or a liquor establishment. He indicated he did not know how the business had
operated under this position. He recalled the history of the building indicating that
it had been built by the Gottwald Brothers and sold to the City. He said it was the
first liquor establishment in the City of Fridley. He recalled after the installation
of Highway �!65, Old Central became rather dead-ended and the City Council decided to
sell the on-sale business. He said at first, the fixtures were rented. Mr. Smith said
that there should be some kind of provision in the code to waive these requireinents.
He asked if the matter could be handled by the Board of Appeals. P1r. Smith said he did
not t�ink a change in th e zoning would be the way to handle this being this is in a
neighborhood area. He said it is his understanding that the provisions do not affect
the existing license holder. Mr. Smith suygested that some understanding be reached
on this ma�ter and said he understood that this would require more appearances at
City meetings.
Mr. Smith asked the Council if they could determine any reason why this request
would be denied.
Mayor Nee questioned if the zoning problem created a defect in the application. The
City Attorney advised the Council that this would not be a serious difference of
opinion.
The City Attorney referred to the comments made by Mr. Smith within the statement to
the Council. He indicated that Mr. Smith had not referred to a recent Federal case
where a suit was brougnt by an applicant against the City of Fairmont within the pro-
visions of the Civil Rights Act. He said the Court upheld the refusal to grant the
license made by the City Council. The City Attorney said the past business practices
of the applicant can be considered by the Council. The City Attorney continued to
comment that the Public Hearing was closed at the request of.Mr. Smith at the time
that the Mayor asked if the Public Hearing should be kept open. He said the statf
had advised the Council of their recominendation and the hearing was closed.
The Gity Attorney continued to state that what Mr. Snlith had said was true. He
mentioned evidence would have to be presented at a hearinq and if the applicant wants
an additional hearing, this alternative is still available. The City Attorney said
�

;i 23
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1975 • PAGE 7
as far as the zoning is concerned, he is not aware of a Nlaiver thai; would allow this
business to operate within this zoning district. He said it would have to be decided
whether or° not to rezone the property or chanye the code to permit the intoxicating
beverages to be dispensed within this C--1 zoning. The City Attorney pointed out the
history of operations at this location and said sir�ce the business was in operation
prior to the adoption of the zoning code, he would consider this a non conforming use.
He said this would allow the business to continue to operate as it is. He said his
question would be whether or not it would be allowable to expand or change the use,
he indicated he did not feel that this would be alTovaable.
The C.ity Attorney said he liad not had time to reviea� Mr, Smith's presentation to the
Cnuncil, but he felt the zoning situation should be corrected be`ore th�e Council
could consider granting the license.
Councilman Sta nvalt indicated he tvould like to ask t�ir. Povlitzke a question. He
referred to the intitial meetings concerning this application when f•1r. Povlitzke said
there v�as no way that he could meet the 40/60 requirement. h1r. Povlitzke indicated he
had said if the other restaurants in the City are doing this, he would do ihe same.
P1r. Povlitzke said he had been in the bar business formany years and the other people
who had applied for liquor licenses had not been in the business. He said if they
are doing it, he �•�ould do the same. Mr. Povlit?ke expresse' dislikc for the present
delay in the consideration of the issuance of the license.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to adopt a Resolution indicating tu Mr. Povlitzke that
the request for the liquor license for the Frontier Ciub be denied. Mayor Nee declared
the MOTION DEAD FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Mayor Plee indicated that the zoning would have to be resolved. He asked if the necessary

3ROOY. NATURE CENTER FOUNDATION FROM P1EETING OF 3/3/75 :
' Dr. Richard Trezona, Chairman of the S��•ingbrook Nature Center Foudnation, addressed the

the proposed lease. He indicated the proposal had been reviewed and he would like to

'
,
Dr. Trezona directed the Council's attention to section four and said there were some
changes within this section. He said the Foundation had recommended that the last
sentence in the first paraqraph be deleted. Dr. Trezona read the sentence that he
had referred to. lie a]so pointed out that the Foundation and the City agreed that
the paragraph in the center of section four be deleted. Dr. Trezona continued to
c.omment that the Foundation had expressed the desire to add "In addition" to the
first part of the sentence in the s�cond paragraph concerning the availability of
funds and their application.

7HE REGULAR MEETING OF THE FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL Of MARCH 17, 1975� PAGE 8
Dr. Trezona referred the Council's attention to Section Five and said the Foundation
felt this section should be del�ted. He read the Section and explained he thought
this to be an unnecessary performance clause and the Foundation thought that this
should be deleted.
Dr. Trezona explained tV�at the Foundation also felt that Section seven should be
deleted because it violates the prcvisions for fundin9 on the regional nature center
concept. He said this language would eiiminate the project from obtaining funds from
the Metro Council. He indicated that this also violates requiremen±s in obtainin�
LAWCON funds.
Dr. Trezona referred to Section fJine and irdicated that there was some question as
to what is norr,al police and fire protection. He indica±ed tha't if there were to be
any large groups using ���e area, the Foundation a�ould arrange for extra police pro�eci;ion
and reimburse th2 City for this. Ne me��tioned he P�ad rliscussed this point vaith the City
Manager and the City P?a,�ager had explained what the normal protectionwculd co�sist of
but this still puzzled him. He indicated tf�at he felt tt;ere were enough provisions
built in the lease agreem�nt where the City is in complei:e control of the activities.
He said he felt someof the fears should be eliminated because the Foundai:ion had no
desire to take over.\ Dr. Trezona thouyht t}ie provision ihat the Fcundation was to
work with i6�e City '�lanage, and check for Gdvice and approval would be sui`ficient in
this section.
Qr. Trezona said he felt Section ten was fine as it stood. He indicatec! the phrase
"and shall rot be unreasonable with respect to the proposals by the Foundation", had
beaiadded to prevent any member of the Council from beiny arbitrary.
Or. Trez�na proceede�l to point out that in Seciion Eleven, their attorney had a�vised
the Foundation ti�at the City snould be re�porsib'le for a. certain amount of the insurarce
coverage th.e the Founda��ion responsible for their own porticn. He iridicated the amou;�i:
had been added becaus:e this figure had been determined appropriate by the insurance
carrier.
Mayor IJee asid if anyorw wished to comment on Section four?
Councilman Starvaalt e,u2stion2d if the Idorth Park area w«s to be developed as a golf
course, Gvould the City be resporsible for the maintanance of the greens, etc. Dr.
Trezona said he could not ans���er the question. He sai� he fieit i:he question unrelated
io this proposed iiaage. Councilman Starwalt said the ma�!rt;enance of the golf course would
be paid by user fees. Cir. Trezona sai� t.he`maintenance of th� golf course :�ould require
special types of equipme�t and their reyuest �vould only involve some �rushing, etc.
.Dr. Trezo��a pointed o�,t that he re,:iized that the City had not budgetrd for ex.tensive
maintenance of th� area, but they are preseritly taking care of the otl�er greer� areas
in the City. Councilman Starwalt said he was not sa�isfied with the inaintenance
portion of t4;e lease.
Dr. Trezona said the Nature Center Director and the City Manager would work together
and decide and if a d2�isicn cannot be reac��:ed., ti�e mai;t2r v,�ould be l�rou�nt to the
Counc i 1. Courrci linan Star�,�a i t said he fel t ti�e burclen i s bei r�g pl aced on the Ci ty�.
Dr. Trezona said l�ie f21t this would be t��e City's responsibility, it 4•,�ould be the
City's nature center. hle said tl�is proposal v,�as rot for significant maintenance of
trails and equipment. Mayor Nee asked vahat share of the obligation v,�ould be the
Foundacions. Dr. Trezona said anything the natui�e center initiated would be the
responsibility of the Foundation. Councilman Star���alt said the statement in Section
Four, begir;nino witl� "Tne cost" etc., would be a safe guard for �he City. He saic�
he would be vailling to leave this portion in the lease if a list Hiould be made up
with the standards jobs being the City's •responsibility. Councilman Starwalt said he
could see some problems that may be created wity the City staff keeping the responsibil-
ities separate.
� Dr. Trezona said the solution to this would be that this woulc+ be handlec; by the City
Manager and the Nature Center Direci.or. He said it would have to be determined wh�t
the Foundation would have to pay for and what would be furnished on a regular basis.
Councilman Breider said he v�ould be ��illing to live with this provision if the
Foundation and the City Mar,ag2r make up a sc{i�dule and it could be agreed what should
be included in the schedule.
Councilman Breider said the Foundation is concerned with external access in maintenance
such as plov��ing etc. He aske� if the nature center would assuroe the responsibility
for the internal maintenance of the nature center.

REGULA�i COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1975 PAGE 9
Dr. Trezona said he would be a:illing to leave this section as it is if a schedule is
set up. •
Mr. Dan tiuff, Naturalist/Resource Coordinator, addressed the Council and indicated
if the perimeter type of care is what is indicated by ttiis section, it should be
rewritten. Mr: Huff read from the Section irc question which dealt with matters such
as tree trimming, grass cutting, fence inaintenance and parking lot maintenance, e�:c.
He said he thought the maintenance of the parking lot would be internal. He reiterated,
this should be rewritten as �+t is now clearly indicating interna� functions of ma�nten-
ance wou]c be the City's responsibility.
Mayor Nee asked if there would be some way of making this a negotiaUle thing. The
City Manager said it would be dene as Dr. Trezona had suggested and this would be that
the City provide provide a.n service that is requested if they are capable of this,
and experience would show the City and the Foundation what the criteria areas v�ill be.
He mentioned the City is involved in program budgeting and there would have to be
a label attached to the expense. The City Manager further pointed out that the agree-
ment could be amended in the future if this is necessary. Dr. Trezona agreed that
if there are any problems, they could be discussed and changes could be made.
Mayor Nee asked if an��ne present wished to react to item nuinber Six. ��layor IVee �
said he felt if this Section was left in, it would put North Park open fcr another
campaign issue in the future. Dr. Trezona saitl this was also his feeling. Councilr�an
Fitzpatrick said he believed the point of the Foundation which is that number six
is taken care of or provided for with Secticn Five is true.
Mayor Nee asked if there were any questions concerning Section Seven. Councilman
Fitzpatrick said he felt this was a different matter all together. Councilman areider
� asked if nuinber Five is left out, would there be any basis for not continuing the
lease. The City Attorney said the City would have a difficult time terminating the
lease if the Foundation did not live up to the developinent schedule. Mayor Nee said
he felt the community vrould like to allow the Foundation five years to develop the
� pro�erty. The City Attorney sa.id ifi tLe Council wou7� like a clause for non-conformance,
this section shoi�]d be included. Ccuncilman I3reider said that he could not find any-
thing in the lease other than the sec.tion suggested for deletion even if both parties
� are agreeable. The City Attorney advised the Council that the lease could be modified
' in the future if both parties ayree to the change. He said changes could be made
by mutual cons°nt. He also mentioned if one gr•oup want to change tf�� agreement and
the other did not a�ant to, this could n,�t be done.

Mayor Nee asked what might constitute failure. Councilman Starwalt said the Foundation
may not be able to coine up with the funds. I�e said �he funds would be necessary to
development of the ar�a. Dr. Trezona said the property at North Park is a nature
center as it is. He indicated that the Foundation vaould not have to put up an
expensive structure to create a nature center. Dr. Trezona said the Foundation had
the potential to raise the funds one and a half years ago; but with the current
state of the economy, 9t n�ay take from one to two years to obtain funding.
Councilman Starwalt said he hoped that the non performance clause could be included.
, He indicated he would like to represent all of the people in the City, not just a few
people. Dr. Trezona said the nature center supporters are very strong in the City,
he suggested there may be 800 supporters. Councilman Starwalt said there had been
many people who did not vote on the matter.
,
t
�_J
Mayor Nee said there is not a cancellation clause in the Islands of Peace Lease.
Councilman Starwalt said this is true. He said they did not have an obligation to the
City and he had not heard that there titi�as anyone wanting to tie up the land from the
City regardless of the method. He said there is not another group that objects to the
development of the Islands of Peace within the City as there is within this program.
� Councilman Starwalt said he questioned the initial five year term and fie would like
to make a brief statement concerning this. He said he fiad a problem going to the five
year program without seeing some kind of a plan. He questioned if a plan should be
submitted to the Council before the lease is entered into. Ne thought there should
be some public hearings on the plan andthen the Council could go into a contract.
Dr. Trezona answered stating no one is going to spend this kind of time on a plan
without approval of the lease. He asked �.hat kind of dedication the City thought the
people in the Foundation had. He mentioned the people in the Foundation had been workinq
with the City for years. Councilman Starwalt said they I�ad discussed this before and
he did not agree with Dr. Trezona. Dr. Trezona said Councilman Starwalt had given the
Foundation $50 and they appreciated this donation. He indicated that the first function
of the Foundation would be to turn the membership into a financial committee to raise
funds. Fie said if the Foundation is not able to raise the funds, they would come
' 41

straight to the Council and tell them. He said at this time, they cauld have an
additional meeting of minds.
Councilman Breider mentiened that the Islands nf Peace had been commented on. He
indicated that tl�ese were two different type of properties. He menitoned that the
tax payei°s in Fridley had contributed to the acquisition of North park and there had
been two distinct proposals for development. He thought the five year lease would
5e a long term for a non-cancellation type agreement. Councilman Breider said if these
people are given this amount of time to perform their function, this would be adequate.
He also felt that it would take about five years for the area to be built up. f�e
thought the five years would be a good time frame. He said the City would be able
to look at the total proj2ct and 4-ahat has happened a��ound the area. He said there is
building all around the area in Coon Rapids andalso to the south. He said the proposed
five years might be a good time period.
MOTION by Coucnilman Fitzpatrick to delete Section Six of the proposed lease agreement.
Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, Council�-roman Kukowski voting
aye, Councilman areider voting aye, Councilman Starwalt voting nay, Councilman
Fitzpatrick voting aye, and t�layor Nee voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motien carried
four to one.
Mayor Nee referred the Council's attention to Section Seve; and said this concerned
the citizens of the City of Fridley getting first preference for the use of North
Park Piature Cenier.
Councilman Breider referred to the last meeting of the Council when Mr. Mark Noble was
present and had indicated that Richfield had a system as was proposed by the lease
agreement. He said the area scl�ools were given some preference of use. He asked why
this preference would work in �ichfield and not in Fridley. Dr. Trezona said he did
not kno�v �:h� Richfi.eld �rocedures._. He explained if the nature center was to
benefit by the P4eti°o Council runding, they could not give prefei°ence to one group.
Mayor Nee said as a practical matter, the Director would be able to schedule vrith
some sort of preference without th-is clause being in the agreement.
Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton, addressed the Counci'1 and indicated that each nature
center is handled differently. She pointed out that she had read this as an exclusionary
tactic. She explained the situation with the various school districts and boundaries
that do not follovathe City limits and indicated that not all the students would be
able to receive the preferential ti°eatment if they lived out of the bounds of the City.
She mentioned that in School District No. 11, not all of the students would live in the
City. She indicated that the only School District is completely within the bounds of
the City and this is School District Pdo. 14.
Councilman Breider said he did not think this was the intent of the provision to
exclude any member of any school district. fie indicated that he would not want the
Hennepin County Schools to receive preferential treatment over tfie area schools.
The City Manager said under the provision for r�umber Five, the Council would be able
to review the policy. Qr. Trezona agreed stating the City Council has the control.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to delete Section Seven from the proposed lease
agreement. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye

"under the direction of". Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Dr. Trezona went on to explain that within the City's suggesti�n for Section Nine, he
did not understand what "normal" police and fire protection meant. Mayor Nee asked
if this could be left the way it is. Dr. Trezona indicated he would agree to leaving
this section as suggested by the City Manager.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to adopt Section Nine as recommended by the Administration.
Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Nee questioned the statement within Section Ten that referred to unreasonable
actions on the part of the Councilmembers. Ne asked how it would be established what
is unreasonable. Dr. Trezona said this had been suggested by the Foundation's legal
Counsel.

with the additior of the statement "and shall not be unreasonable with respect to the
proposals by the Foundation". Seconded by Councilman StarN,�alt. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Dr. Trezona went on to explain that the provision for the �3000,000 public liability
insurance had been obtained from an insurance coinpany. lie said �erhaps this Section
(Section Eleven) should be defined for use. He said he wouid be willing to accept the
City's proposals on this section. lie said the Foundation believed that the City should
buy what is needed by them and the same for the Foundation.
Mayor Nee said the City already has insurance. Dr. Trezona said the Board had t,aken
action on the insurance matter so that the insurance U�ould be in effect immediately
following the signii�g the lease. The City Attorney said it may be better language
to indicat� that the responsible parties should take care of their share of the
insurance.
Mayor Nee asked who would be responsible in case of a law suit. The City Attorney
said both parties would be joined in a suit. He �id he was not sure the City's
insurance would cover the Foundation. He said the Foundation should not rely on the
City's insurance. The City Attorney suggested the following language, "Adequate
public liability insurance should be provided by the Foundatioi� in the amount which
should be deterr�iined by the City and Foundation and not be less than a certain dollar
figure." Dr. Trezona asked if the content of the original proposal would be suitable
to the City. It was the censensus of the Council that this language would be acceptable.
The City P+lanager asked if a minirnum limit should be «�orked with. Mayor Nee said this
Section should read, "Adequate Public Liability Insurance shall be provided by the
Foundation. The amount shall be no less than $300,000 and sf�all be increased as
necessary.
Councilman Breider asked if there had ever been any resolution concerning Section
Four. ��1ayor Nee said the Council had not voted on this section. The City Manager
indicated that he thought the Council was plar.ning to leave this section in as it
stood.

Councilman Starwalt made a brief summary of the reasons he would not vo�e in favor
, of the deletion of Section Six. He felt the deletion of this section �vould violate
the rights of the people he represented. He questioned the City Attorney on this
point. The City Attorney advised Councilman Starwalt that this was not,a legal question.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 17; 1975 PAGE 1.2
MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt Resolution No. 41-1975 confirming assessment
for ST. 1974-1 Street Improvement Project with the original roll where tPie assessments
would not be spread across the street,and which follows the policy of the past.
Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilman Starwalt asked why the roll would not go across the street. The City
P�anager said when this type of assessment was spread in the past, it did not go across
the street. The City Manager further explained if the Council would like to make
some improvements in the future, across the creek, it could be potentially spread
back to this area. He also indicated if there are ever walkways installed, this
could also be assessed to these property o�•m ers. He indicated that the Council should
stick with the policy and try to be as equitable as possible.
Mayor �ee said the people on the other side of the street had been notified concerning
the hearings on the assessment.
Councilman Breider said he would have to draw the line on the policy matter. He said
this may be the best possible spread, but he felt it would be better to follow the
policy.
Councilman Starwalt questioned the method of assessment listed on page 5-C of the
agenda folder. This assessment would spread payment on both sides of the street and
all the way to University on Rice Creek Terrace. Councilman Breider indicated he
thought thei°e would be real problems with the adoptien of the roll indicated on 5-C.
A resident of the area addressed the Council and indicatedhe had lived in the area
for 15 years and he had never used the road that he would 6e assessed for under
this pr�oposal. He indicated that this t��outd change the policy and they would be
liable for assessinents in the future if the side street were improved again. Ne
indicated that he objected to the lack of consistancy.
Councilmar� Starwalt said he felt it was difficult to agree ta what is eguitable.
A resident of the area indicated the people in this area never use 68th for access,
this would cause them to double back. He said ihey use 4th Street for access.
The City Attorney addressed the Council and pointed out that he is a resident of the
area in question and i°esided on the north side of Rice Creek Terrace. He sai.d from
a lec�al standpoint, he did notthink the Council should accept the roll on page 5-C.
He said it would be difficult to prove the benefit for the people living all the
way down to University from the improvement of 68th Avenue.
Councilman Star��alt said he would like to talk agai.nst the original roll and.
said he favored the roll on page 5-C of the agenda booklet.
Councilman areider indicated that this particular ro11 would cause problems because
the Council had indicated that they would not go across the street.
Mayor Nee said if anothei° roll is adopted which would vary in policy, a statement
concerniny this adoption should be placed in the resolution of adoption. Councilman
Breider said if another roll is adopted the Council would be changing the policy and
this should be specified in the resolution.
Mayor Nee asked if there would be any financial p�oblems in holding the consideration
of the resolution until the next meeting of the Council to allow the Administration
time to prepare the necessary resolution. The Finance Director, Mr. Marvin Brunsell,
said the interest had been complied within the roll of assessments unt�1 the end of the
month and the roll would have to be recomputed if there was to be a delay until the
next Council meeting.
Councilman Starwalt asked why the assessment on page 5-C could not be•adopted if they
would agree ori this one. Mayor Nee asked if the policy for this area and the change in
policy could be defined, He asked if a policy could be written which viould be
consistant with this type of problem. The City Manager felt that ther•e may never
be an area such as this in the City. The Finance Director said he could not.think
of another area, but he would not want to rule out this possibility. lie indicated
that everyone would not come out even in any assessment roll. He indicated no matter
how the streets are shaped or assessed, it would not be possibile for the assessmenis
to come out the same or equaly. lie asked if the Council's inten�ions could be put
on paper. He said this may take care of this assessment, but what aUout last year's
assessment rolls.

RCGULAR COUP�CIL MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1975 PAGE 13
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he thought the statements made by the Finance Director were
true. He said in the City with a creek cutting through it, you are aoing to have areas
with no side street assessment. Ne said there �vill also be situations where there will
be the creek with no bridge over it. Councilman Fitzpatrick said it seemed to him
that this situation would occur again.
Councilman Starwalt said if the alternate roll is adopted, it would set a precedent.
Mayor Nee said th policy could be that the roll is adopted as assessed to the next
assessable side street, and there would be no problem at all. The Finance Director
questioned what would happen in areas 4vhere there is no main artery into the area.
He asked what would the Council do in this instance. He said according to the proposal,
all of the people of the area would have to be assessed. The City P1anager said this
type of policy was not followed with the assessments of 4th and 6th. He pointed out
that there is never goirg to be a 100� equitable assessment.
Mr. Nick Garaffa, 6750 P�onroe, addressed the Council and indicated he felt the
original roll was workable. He asked the Council to consider the curreni situation,
not all the possibilities of the future when considering the assessments.
The City hlanager pointed out to the Council that 90% of the streets within tr�e City
had been improved ar' this policy had been followed and pre�.�ed to be �;rorkable for
the 90%. He questioned if it would be fair to the peop]e who had already been
assessed if the policy ti�rere changed at the present time. Ne said the Council should
adopt i:he roll according to the past policy, it would be more derensefull.
The Assessor, Mr. Mervin Herrmann, pointed out to the Council that there were about
four streets in the City in the same situation and the others had not been assessed
across the street. The City Attorney recalled that this was similar to the case of
the assessment of Madison Street. Mayor Nee said yes, there was a similar situation
in this area.

Mr. Ric{�ard Harris, 6200 Riverv�ew Teri°ace, addressed the Council and indicatetl he
objected to some of the costs of the project. Fle mentioned the amoun+ of $2,300 for
engineering of the project by Cornstock and Davis, "onsulting Engineers and a7so
objected to the retaining N�all being included with�in the project. He indicated the
wall to be temporary and if he wished to gain access to his property, a portion
of the wall would have to be removed. Mr. Harris said he did not feel the problem
with the older home and its situation was the obligation of the remainder of the
property owners in i.he project. Mr. Harris indicated he felt this would be between
the City ancf the property owner. t�1r. Harris said all of the people in the area object
to this wall because they are not receiving any benefit. Mr. Harris said he
would like to propose that the Councilfind some solution to thn retaining wall problem
and that they also take note that the people of the area should not pay for the
replacement of the approaches. He added, he objected to some of the practices in
construction of the project and mentioned that the contractor should have removed the
stumps from the area.
The Public tdorks Director indicated that the wall was a part of the alley project
because this was needed to have the property match up with the development of the
area. He indicated it was very important that the home be saved. He also said if this
had not been done, the City would be facing a liability claim. The Public Works
Director stressed the fact that the wall was a necessity. He indicated that this was
following the policy of the past and also mentioned that perhaps in the future the
wall could be salvaged and a credit given to the people of the area.
Mr. Harris repeated his thought that he did not feel that this was anybody elses
problem, it was the problem of the man who owned the house.
Mayor Nee disagreed with the comment and stated, not when there is a char.ge in the
grade.
Mr. Harris said he thought the City should have priced the contract with concrete
, streets rather than bituminus. Ne indicated that with the increasing costs of oil
products, the project may have been comparable with concrete. He said the people of
the area should be contacted to determine if they tivould rather have the more permanent
improvement with concrete or pay a c�reat deal for bituminus when it will not last as
� long. Mayor Nee said he thought this to be a good point.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF A1ARCH 17, 1975 PAGE 14
Mr. Harris explained the people of the area had gotten together and agreed that the
area was to be improved, but indicated they wanted the City to take care of the improve-
ment because they were unable to remove the fill from the area. He said now the problem
is that the a.liey i�as been imp�°oved and the fill is still in the area. He again stated
that he would have to take down the wall to get the fill out of his property. He sa�id
he had bought the property because of the fill. He said he really objected to the
improvement methods. He mentioned that all of the problems had occurred because the
house had not been placed i� the proper lccation and extended into another property.
Mr. Narris said he believed this to be the problem of the property owner, not his and
the remainder of the people on the block.
The City Manager explained that this policy would have to be followed in the case
of anyone's house within the City. Ne said the City had t��ro choices, they could have
acquired the easement which would have included the house or they could have constructed
the o-�all as they did. He said tfie wall would have to be strong enough to hold the
house whether the house was to stand there for one month or ten years. He mentioned that
the house had been constructed back in 1940 when there was no City government and there
was no one tc deterinine if the construction was within the City requirements. The
city Manager said the Council valued Mr. Harris' opinion, but the position of the City
would be to protect everyone. He said if the City were to be held biable for the
house, the cost wc ld have mour.ted to a higher figure. He said thiswould be done no
matter what the value of the house would be, if the house is there, it would have to
be protected.
The City Attorney advised the Council that this point was true and there was no doubt
about the City's responsibility to protect the property.
The City Manager mentioned that the flagstone was the least expensive thing and also
the strongest material to use. He said that railroad ties would allow the potential
for movement. The City Manager said the City could have put in a block wall. Fle
indicated that the peaple tivould have to put some faith in th e judgement of tne staff.
He also mentioned if the property was acquired through condemnation, the assessment
would have been much more because of the legal fees and appraisals, etc.
Mayor Nee pointed out that if the wall were constructed from railroad ties or stone,
the price may be comparable because it is the labor costs that are the highest.
Mr. Harris indicated the feeling that the City could have gotten together with the
property owners. _
Mayor Nee asked the members of the Council if they had any desire to amend the
resolution. Cauncilman Breider said ne_did not �rish to amend the.�esolutior: _
Mr. Harris indicated it would seem to him that the minute there is an assessment
hearing> the Administration feeis they have been given a blank check.
Mayor Nee said he �id not think this to be true from his expreiences. He indicated
that the City Administration makes a great effort to save trees and see that the
driveways are installed correctly. He indicated �hat the people in some areas had
complimented the Administration on their coopei°ation. Mayor Nee said that perhaps
this was not the case in this improvement.
RESOLUTION N0. 42-1975 - CONFIRPiING ASSESSMENT FOR ST. 1974-2 STREET IMRPOVEMFNT
PROJECT TAQLED FROM 3/10/75 :
AND
RECEIVING COMMUNICATION IN OPPOSITION FROM ROGER G. FREITAG:
MOTION by Coucnilman Starwalt to receive the communication from Mr. Roger G. Freitag,
in opposition to the assessment, dated March 11, 1975. Seconded by Councilman Breider.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Breider said he had been looking over the roll and referred to the area of
79th Way in the area of the cul de sac. He asked why the triangular piece of property
was not included in the assessment roll. The Assessor, Mr. Mervin Flerrmann, indicated
that this piec� of property contained a large piece of easement with would make
the property unbuildable as it stands alone. Ne indicated that the easements were for
Minnegasco, NSP and the Sewer Board. The Public l�Jorks Director sadi there were a
few problems in this area with the property. The Assessor indicated that the property
had been up for sale for quite some time for for the amount of $500 and there was
4G
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1975 PAGE 15
�800 in assessments due on the property. Councilman Breider questioned if there was
any access to the piece of property with the improvements. The Assessor pointed out
there woula be access through the use of the cul de sac. He reiterated that the
property had very little value. Councilman 6reider said it did not seem fair that
no one picked up these assessments, thelot would be getting the improvement free.
Councilman areider asked if there would be anythii�g to assess the improver�ent against
if the property became tax forfeit. The City Attorney said in this case, the City
would never get its money back. The Assessor said the assessments would not be paid
in this case.
Councilman Breider asked the Public Works Director to place the proposal for the original
roll on the screen.
MOTION by Coucnilman areider to adopt Resolution No. 42-1975 confirming the assessment
roll for ST. 1974-2 Street I�nprovement Project and adopting th,e Alternate Roll No. 2.
Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski.
Councilman areider said he was having the same problem with this area as he had in
the Rice Creek Terrace area. He indicated he could not promise the people that they
would not get assessed for side yard. He said the proposed roll is the most consistant
with the policy of the City.
A resident of the area asked if there was a seyment of 66th not being assessed. Council-
man Breider indicated that the Council could not say what would happen in the future.
Another resident of the area said the people havg no other exit from the area. She
questioned why they should not pay for it.
Councilman areider said he could see an assessment on this area frbm P4ississippi Street.
UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE, Councilman Fitzpatrick voting aye, Mayor Nee voting aye,
Council��oman Kukowski voting aye, Councilman Breider voting aye and Councilman Starwalt
voting nay, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried four to one.
RESOLUTION N0. 43-1975 - CONFIRMING ASSESS��ENT FOR ST. 1974-4 S7REET IMPROVEMENT
PROJFCT TABLED FROM 3/10/75�j---
The Public Works Dii°ecto� summarized the history of the improvements in this area and
indicated that Anoka County had establis��ed this as a County Roadway and v:ould be
picking up the costs for the street iroprovement. The people of the area will be
assessed for one half of the curbing and gutter at $3.77 per foot and the people on
the north side of the street would be assessed for the sidewalk at $5.53 per foot.
The Public Works Director stated the side�valk was beiny assessed because this•followed
City policy.
Mayor Nee indicated that the people of the area had appeared at the hearing and
said they thought that one side of the street was �eing assessed for the sidewalk
when the entire area was benefiting from it.
MOTION by Councilmar� Starwalt to adopt Resolution No. 43-1975 confirming Assessment
for ST. 1974-4 Street Improvement Project.
Mr. Nick Garaffa addressed the Council and indicated the way the grade was cut on the
south side of I�tississippi, it would be almost impossiblE to install a sidewalk. He
thought it was almost impossible to ins�allit because of the undergr'ound utilities
installed.
The Public Works Director said it would take extensive construction to install the
sidewalk on the south side. He added, it had also taken extensive cons�ruction to
install the sidewalk on the north side. .
Mayor Nee said this should have been brought up at the hearing.
' ' Mr. Garaffa said he had talked to Councilman Starwalt about this the previous night.
Councilman Starwalt said he believed in time to come, there will be a sidewa�lk on
the south side of the street also.

RESOLUTION N0. 44-1975 - CONFIRMING ASSESSMENT FOR SE4JER, WATER AND STORM SEWER
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT td0. 114 TABI_ED 3/10/75 :
AND
R[CEIVING COMMUNICATION REGARDING STORM SE4JER ASSESSMENT POLICY - HARRIS LAKE ESTATES
ADDITIO�:
The City Manager indicated the memo in the agenda to be from Mr. Marvin Brunsell, Finance
Director, in response to the comments made by Mr. Dave Harris at the previous Council
meeting. He said Mr. Harris had made the point that all property should be assessed
equally. THe City Nanager indicated in this area, the City used subdistricts and the
assessments would be equalized whtn the entire district is coinpleted. He said the
remainder of the information in the agenda is �;�hat had been presented at the previous
meeting with the exception of a proposal that the properties evithin Area E be required
to bear higher than originally proposed.
The City Manager referred to the proposal of Mr. Harris that some of the money that
would and had been escrowed within the larger district and within othei° subdistricts
be transferred to this project. He indicated it was the Administrations feeling that
this procedure �4ould not be iegal.
The City Manager pointed out the third point raised by Mr. Harris to be that he had
been told at the time of platting the property that the builder of the homes in this
area would be required to escrow $800 per lot at the time of acquisition of the building
permits from the City to take care of ±he storm sewer. The City Manager said that on
some of the properties the assessment would be in the area of $1,200 per lot and Mr.
Harris thoug" `'hi� exceeded the $800. THe City Manager said the staff had researched
this question and had not been able to find �vhere it had been determined that the $800 per
lot would be the maximum amount for storm sewer. He said the price for the improvement
of storm sewer would be a maximum of �8 per 100 square feet.
The Public Works Director summarized the assessment to each of the districts under
the proposed assessment roll as follows: Area A, $2.08 per 100 square feet, Areas B
and C, $3.69 per 100 square feet, and Area E, $7.69 per 100 square feet.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the developer had dedicated land to the City. The Public
Warks Director said he had dedicated land for parks under the requirements of platting,
but the City had acquired the ponding area.
Mayor Nee referred to the previous meeting of the Council and said the Public Works
Director had irdicatetl the dredging had increased the holding capacity of the pond.
The Public lJorks Director said now the ponding area will take care of other subdrainage
districts also. He said before the area of drainage was undefined. The City Manager
said thai; the area draining into the pond had been greatly increassd. He said the
area to the east and south is being drained by piping into the pond.
Mr. Dennis Schneider asked who the City had bought the pond from-. The Public 4lorks
Director said Mr. Dave Harris. Mr. Schneider asked who Mr. Harris had purchased the
pond from. The Public Works Director aid he did not know. He added the land had been
purchased from 13 people and it had been consolidated. •
Mr. Schneider said he had tallced to Mr. Frichie, and Attorney at DNR and questioned the
point made by the City Attorney at the previous meeting concerning the City being
prohibited from directing drainage of storm water to private property. Mr: Schneider
said he had been told i;hat there are no statutes with this requirement. He indicated
that Roseville is currently doing this.
Mr. Schneider said if the developer is paying for the dredging of the pond, why are
the people's assessments in the area being brought up to $8 per 100 square feet. Mr
Schneider felt that the people in the other areas should pay less than this.
Mr. Schneider said the decision of the Council could not be appealed by class action,
this would have to be done individually and this he indicated to be obviously impractical.
He mentioned the Cii:y had advised the people who do not agree with the assessment roll
to appeal tha acticn. Mr. Schneid2r said he felt the assessment was being pushed down
the people's throats.
Mr. Schneider addressed Cauncilwoman Kukowski and indicated at the time she had
campained for her• Council position, she had indicated she would represent the people and
receive their comments. He also mentioned that this had been the case in Mayor Nee's

campaign co�nents. He asked that they consider these cbmn;ents and support the people
of the area. Mr, Schneider also commented the the City f�tanager had only addressed his
remarks to Mr. Harris at the previous meeting of the Council.
Mayor Nee said he would likp it a matter of record that tFie City Manager's remarks
were adverse to Mr. Harris.
Mr. Ken Morness, 160� 66th Avenue N. t., addressed the Council and asked the Council
what the difference would ha��e been if the City had bough¢ the land and put in a
holding pond rather than a rancy pond.
The Public Works Director said there would be no change. Mr. Moxness asked how many
acres of storage had been in the area before the improvement. The Public Works Director
said the pond had a 16 acr2 feed. P1r. Moxness asked what this was now. The Public Works
Director said it had been just the east area and now it would be fed from the entire
area. Mayor Nee asked ho��r large the pond was in area. Tfie Puolic Works Director said
8'2 acres in area. He mentioned thepontl was approximately thi°ee feet deep. He added,
two feet had been added a�ith a feed of about 40 acres. Mr. Moxness asked why the ditch
had to be cleaned. The Public Works Director said to allow the water to drain to Moore
Lake. Mr. 1�1oxness asked ifi this meant anything. The Public l�lorks Director said this
did mean something, the ditch had to be redefined. Mi Moxness asked if this had
increased the storage area. He added, it probably lost actual storace area. Mr. Moxness
mentioned that the City had paid $35,000 for the land for the storage ai°ea and this vras
bought fror� the deveioper of the area. Mr. "7oxness asked evhat the economic value of
the area was compared to the other area. The Public Works Director indicated that the
open ditch may not be a good situation as a permanent system but with the construction
of additiona1 roads in th� area in the future, there may be additional improvement of
the system. htr. Moxness said there is no guarantee that the $8 would be the limit for
storm sewer in this area. The Public Works Director indicated the only additional cost
for the area would involve the installation of an underground system. He indicated that
all three alternative plans for the area had been expla�ined �it the hearing. Mayor Nee
explained that years ago a coinplete system had been proposed for this area and this had
been determed to be a great iiardship on the people af the area, so the City had approved
the piece meal development of the storm sewer in this area. He said he was not on the
Council at th;� tima, ard there must have been a reason for this. Mayor in�icated he
thought some of the implications may have been political.
, • Mayor Nee asked the Public t^Jnrks Director what typ� of problems had been encoui�tered
through the project and accouni;able to the contractor. He recalled there had been
mention of 30% overhead on the project. The Public Works Director explained the only
problem to be that the City had to ��atch the contractor to make sure the project was
, constructed just right. He indicated there had b2en some problems with the contractor
not having the appropriate equipment and persr,nnel on ihe project. The Finance Director
stated that the overhead was somewhat less than 30;.
'
'
'
C
Mr. Moxness asked if the City staff haci inspected the dredging work. The Public Works
Director said the corisulting engineers had inspected.
Mr. Ploxness questioned if M�°. I�arris had requ�sted the City to do foundations studies
for the houses within the development. The Public ldorks Director said the City was not
involved in the development of the lots. �
Mr. Moxness asked what the City's obligation was to dredge the swamp. The Public Works
director said the City had no obligation. Mr. Moxness asked if because the City wanted
to get the property onthe tax rolls, they had obligated the people of the area to the
storm sewer. Councilman Starwalt said no, but this would have the ultimate effeci.
Mr. Moxness said the City had had a hearing and the plan was imposed on the people of ihe
area. Councilman Starwalt comrnented that he did not think that imposed was the correct
language.
Mr. Moxness asked what cost was involved in reclaiming the lots on Mississippi Street and
' Fridley Street. The Assessor indicated that the City had paid the assessments plus $Z00
to $300 for hauling the fill. Mr. Moxness asked where the fill had come from. The
Public Works Director explained that this had come from the Mississippi Street project.
Mr. Moxness asked if the City truck had to coire in and tiaul it and move it. Mr. Moxness
said after this the property was transferred to Mr. Harri� (north side of Mississippi
' Street). The Public Works Director explained the exchange of property between the
City and Nr. Dave Harris and pointed out on the map on the screen the area where the
City had obtained the larger park parcel through this er.change. He also pointed out
that the action for this exchange had appeared on a regular Council agenda.
Coucnilman Starwalt said he had favored this exchanye of property to enlarye the park in
.•
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1975 ' PAGE 1$
the area. He said at the outset of the negotiations for the property in the area,
Mr. Olson had indicated he did not want a park adjacent to his property. He explained
the Olsons favored the plan to include residential property next to their home.
Mr. Moxness said he did not think this was a bad project at the offset of the consideration,
but the people of the area object to paying storm sewer costs when this is mixed in
with land development and other activities. He added, this is bound to confuse the
issue. He said the people were trying to draw th� line where the sewer system began
and the development of the area started. He mentioned that some on the Council had
inherited the project and would have to vote on it. Mr. Moxness said he believed
this project's assessinent roll should be laid over and researched more for the
determination of ]e�itiniate sewer costs.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the dredging costs were assessed to Area E only. The
Public Works Director said yes.
, Mr. Nick Garaffa addressed the Council and referred to the statement that Mr. Harris
, had removed refuge from the area. He said most of the time, the trucks had been
hauling trees along witl. cars, washers, etc. hir. Garaffa also referred to the statments.
concerninq t�r. Harris' intention to pay the escrow upon acquisition of the building
permits ana canmented that with this method, the developer of the land or the builder
would be stuck with the paymcnt of the escrow. He said now :ith the confirmation of
,� the assessment roll Mr. Harris would be stuck. Mr. Garaffa said the development would
put additional students into Rice Creek Elementary School which is already �vercrowded
by the residents in the Towrhouses across the creek. He said they may have to bus the
students to Gardena School.
, Councilman Starwalt mentioned there had not been any trouble with the figures mentioned
, at the preliminary hearing.
Mr. Daniel Walseth, Attorney, addressed the Council and explained that he was currently
taking the place of Mr. Uictor P. Seiler, Attorney for Richard Miller Homes. Mr.
Walseth said ��r. Miller's development was Briardale and consisted of 46 lots and he
had escrowed $800 �er lot for those developed in this area. Mr. Walseth continued to
comment that Mr. Miiler had entered into an escrow agreement with the City. The Attorney
indicated he and his client were under the impression tl�is money had been placed in
escrow to protect themselves. lie said he was in attendanca at the current ineeting
to observe and perhaps voice an objection to the proceedings. Mr. Walseth said Mr. Miller
had been told that the funds that had been placed into the escrow account will not be
returned to him, i,hey would be transferred to the s�torm sewer project account.
A resident of the area said he believed this agreement to be between the builder and
the City.
The Finance Director said if the money was to be returned to Mr. Miller, what vtas
the purpose of the escrow agreement. P1r. Walseth ans���ered that this could be to show
good faith in order to get the building permits or secondly, i:here are 46 lots and if
the developer didnot sell all of the lots, there would be some money there when it
came time for the assessment. He said this could be a safety valve in th e case that
not all of the lots would be sold. P1r. Walseth indicated a third possibility that
Richard Miller Homes may have gone bankrupt.
Mr. Walseth said there had been no mention of the fact that the funds would not be
returned to Mr. Miller.
Q
Mr. Walseth said Mr. Seiler had taken some notes in a conversation with the City
Attorney which indicated the agreement should end in April of 1974. He said he was
! present to raise an objection for the listed reasons. itr. tdalseth informed t.he Council
' the Mr. Miller would take steps to vindicate himself.
The City Attorney indicated that the concern expressed by Mr. Walseth would not be
decided on at the present meeting. He said he knew Mr. Seiler well, arid if there
would be no objections from the Council, he would contact Mr. Seiler on the matter
Ne said the minutes of the meetings could be researched and reviewed and if this
does not resolve the matter, they could request a declarity judgeinent action.
The City Manager said if Mr. Walseth was present at the meeting, he had overheard
the City interest in the construction of the area. He said the overhead on the project
, would be the costs of the interest to borrow the money for the construction, legal •
fees and engineering fees. He said in this case the overhead amount would be about
25% and this is equal to the overhead on the street improvement projects.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCii 17, 1975
The City Manager further poin�:ed out that i:he storm se�aer assessments would be equalized
within the districts. Fle said there had been a number of discussions concerning the
development of the Briardale area and it. had bean proposed that temporary ponding areas
be used until a total system could be established in the area. He r^entioned that the
City had talked about a closed system of pariding. The City Manager said there was
some problems with the ponding pt~oposal which would be sin��ilar to ���hat is being don2
in Innsbruck. The City �danager indicated that Area E is about 45% of the area and
this area is paying about 40% of the costs. The City I•1anager continued to er.plain
that the s,�stem also provided a ditch and piping from the pond from Area A, Area B
there would be no legal
and Area C. Ne said there is a d�irect benefit to Area A, ro ert
question on this. The City Manager asked if the City could have acquired the p P Y
for less money as had been questioned by the area property owners. He �aid this was
not possible. He stated that the City had obtained t.wo appraisals of the property.
The City 1�1anager said the Pdministration felt that /lrea E should carry a higher load of
the assessments.
The City Manager explained the prc,posal for the assessment of the larger lots, Lots 1,
4, and 5 ar�d indicated the location of these lots on the map on the screen. He continued
to explain that these parcels of peoperty are much larger than n;ost in the area and
said there should be some cutting off point and he suggested that the maximum square
footage be fig�.red for this assessment at 1,500 square feet per lot. The City P�anager
said the remainder of the assessments due on these proper•ties could be �ere�00 sq�are
Area E or Harris Lake Estates. He said th�The�Cit aManager mibted out Phat this would
feet on the liari°is Lake Estates P$�P86tP�r �00 square feet or the hiohest assessment
bring the assessments to aro:an�i
the City had ever put on storm sewer. The City Manager indicated althought this is very
high for storm sewer, it ��aould still be less expensive than the creation of the closed
pipe system to Rice Creek.
The City Manager referred to the questions raised concerning the park property. He
said the City had acquired thP park property through the requirement of the of the City
for the developer to donate park properties when platting undeveloped land. Ne said the
land had been exchanged and Mr. Harris really did not want to exchange these parcels
and the minutes of the Council meetings will show this. H2 said the only cost being
assessed to the people in the dis*rict is the land cost �vithin Area E. He again
mentioned that Area E would be paying $7.86 per 100 square feet.
The City Manager said Mr. Har�°is was not able to be present at the current meeting. He
continued to explain that the Administration felt that thehiyner rate for Area E
would be appropr�ate. The City �>1anager said he thought ther�e were reasonable answers
to the questions raised and recommended that the Council go ahead with the higher rate
in Area E with the lesser rate for the larger lots. ,
Mayor Nee said Mr. Harris had offered to pay the assessments of the people he had
purchased the land from. ,
Mayor Nee said it seemed to him that the City shouldthe4peopieharehfaceddwath Ith�stained
a marsh in the area. He said this was not done so,
problem and the relative benefits have to be established. He said if there would be a
more workable or fair solution he would like to see it. He commented that the staff
had put something togethei° relating to the cost rather than the benefits. He mentioned
that the benefit to some of the property �inthe Elarris addition had likewise changed.
He said there is some legal problem when this happens. Mayoi° Nee said the question
at hand would he whethe2• or not to review the whole project or what would be the cost
of such a proj°ct. Mayor Nee questioned if there were any state funds that could
be used to pick up the difference. t4ayor Nee said maybe the City would have to
review the project and respread it.
Mr. Moxness said he would suggest a delay, even if it cost more, so this would not
happen in the future.
Mayor Nee said he felt this to be a g�od �dea. He said the Councilcould hold on npen
meeting before the end of the month.
7he Finance Director asked if it would be feasible to adopt the assessment�roll for the
remainder of the areas involved, and hold the storm sewer in this area.
Mayor Nee asked if there were any problems in the �vater and sewer laterals. There was
no response. -

RECESS:
Mayor Nee called a recess at 2:08 A.M.
RECONVENED:
Mayor Nee reconvened the meeting at 2:22 A.M.
Mayor Nee questioned the members of the Council on whether or not they would like to
continue with the items on the agenda or call a special meet�ng of the Council some time
the same week to take care of the reminiang items. It was the consensus of the Council
that since there were people present who had waited through the entire meeting for
�considerati�on of their items, they would continued vrith the ager�da at thepresent time.
Councilman Starwalt called the Council's'attention to the alternate roll on Page 8-A
of the agenda and indicated this was the roll with the increase to the developer for
the total storin sewer assessment of $7.86 within Area E.
MOTION by Councilman Star�valt to adopt the total roll with the assessment amount
within Area E to be $7.86 and also with the maximum of 1,500 square feet for the
larger properties, and to spread the remairider of the 41¢ per 100 sc�uare feet over the
Harris Lake Estate properties, and to adopt P,esolution No. 44-1975, confirming the
assessment for Sewer, Water and Storm Sewer Improvement Project No. 114 according to the
Alternate Roll No. 1. Seconded by Councilman Breider.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he was prepared to vote favo�°ably on the motion. He said
the basic point of a drainage district is that the assessments should be spread equally.
He said the Council had now added to this area a number of costs that pei°haps should
have been.
Coucnil���oman Kukowski said she would support the motion.
The Public Works Director listed the costs for theproposed roll as indicated by the
motion made by Councilizian Starwal± to be as follows: Area A, $2.03 per 100 square feet,
Areas B and C, $3.69 per 100 square feet and Area E, $7.86 per 100 square feet.,
Mayor Nee sai.d the City had paid $35,000 for the land for the pond. He questioned
if the holding capacity had been increased. f�ayor Nee asl<ed the cost of the dredging.
The Public Works Director said this was $44,000. Mayor Nee said the ecological cost
had to be considered.
Councilman Breider said this had been a very difficult area for the past five years to
ten years. He mentioned that the City had received other requests for the development
of the area and some had included rezoninq. Councilman areider said he thought the
assessinent was fair. Mrs. Edna Miller 6575 Fridley Street, indicated she thought it
was unfair that she h�d to pay the assessment. She indicated that the water of the area
had drained to the corner of Mississippi and Fridley Streets until the drain had been
put into the area. Pirs. Miller continued to comment that she thought the assessment
very unfair to Fridley Street.
� Councilman Starwalt said everyone would be paying an equal amount for storm sewer.
Mayor Nee said this was a question of whether the City had spent money w�sely or
, not. He co�nented that the staff has made a sincere effort to make an equitable
,' spread for the cost and benefit. He said he believed it was questionable if one
j person received more benefit than the other.
', UPON A ROLL CALL VOT[, Councilman Fitzpatrick voting aye, Mayor Nee voting aye,
Councilwoman Kukowski voting aye, Councilman areider voting aye, and Councilman
Starwalt votina aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

MEMORANDUM
PJASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER
MARI/IN C. BRUNSELL, ASST. CITY MGR./FIN. DIR.
SU6JECT: ESCROLJ DEPOSITS -- BRIARDALE PLAT
D�TE: APRIL 3, 1975
There apparently is a difference of opinion between the City of Fridley and
Richard P�iller, the deue7oper of Briardale Addition, as to the disposition
of the money deposi�ted ��aith the City of Fridley to cover storm sewer
assessments.
P�r. Richard Mi11er is of ihe opinion that this escrow money should be returned
' to him. I� is the position of the City Finance Department that the escrour
funds tver� deposi ted ���i th the Ci ty of �ri dl ey for the express purpose of
guaranteeing payment of the storm sewer assessm�nts in the ariardale Plat.
' That i s, to guara�tee that the developer and noi; the homeower tiaoul d i n fact
pay these assessments.
�
,
,
�
'
,
,
�
�
I am attaching the follawing background information:
,
Attachment A- A petition (agreen;ent) for aaproval of a plat regarding the
Briardale Addition, dated the 17th of Aoril, 19?2.
Attachmer�t B- Resolut;ion t�o. 73-1373, adop�ed by the City Council on
June 4, 1973.
Attachment C- A portion of Sectian 211 of the City Code relating to
approval o-F pl �ts t�ri thi n the Ci ty of Fri dl ey.
Rttachment D- Typicai agreement entered into between Richard Miller and
home purchaser.
Attachment E- Typical agreement entered into between Richal°d Miller and
home purchaser.
- Attachment F- Typical assessn;ent searcf�.
It has always been the policy and the practice to use money deposited with the
Gity of Fridley to cover pending assesssnents for the purpose of paying those
assessi;�ents,thereby reducing the cost of the assessments to the homeowner. If
Richard Mi11er's position is upheld on this matter, the question �;hen becomes
as to what t�ras the pur;�ose of ti�e escrow deposits, If they are not to be used
tn pay the storm sewer assessments, there Gvas little purpose in having the
agreement entered into.

SU[3J�C7: ESCRO.d QEPOSI�(S — Q[ZIARD,ALE PLA�T
DATE: APRTL 3, 1975
PI�GE 2 .
Even without an agreement, if �:he City Code is strictly enforced or complied
w�ith, no escro��r agreement is necessary, in that the language of th� City Code
is such that the dev�loper is required to guarantee payment o�f special ,
assessmen�i;s�.
!�e also have the general pol i cy of the Ci ty acti ng as an escraw agent far
funds pr�or to the time an assessment roll is adopted. This practice has
b�en going on for fif�een years or more, ��her����, �che Ci �y ac�s �s
an escrow ager►t holding funds �er�ding adoptlon of an assessmen�t ro11 by t'nz
City Counci1, at t��hich tim� ihe funds ar�e used to pay th� assessrn�i�ts which
have been ado�ted.
Another factor is tlia�: if the City did have escro�� money that related to a
, particulGr assessment, it would have been thc C�i�;y's pQlicy to inform a��y
p�°ospecti ve buyer or any ather �i nterested party tl�at i'nere �xras i n Tact money
on hand at thc City of Fr�idley to cover perEding assessm�nts. If in fact this.
money can►�ot be used te cover this pend�ing assessment, or what now is an
, approved assessemnt rol1, there prcbab�y t��i11 be other prohlems�
i
r
7he purpose of this memo is to seek direc�tion f rom the City Council as to
whether ��e are to (a} refund ti�e escro��,r cleposits to Richard "-�iller; or (b)
apply the escrow money against tf�e assessment ra17 as adopted by ihe City
council for Sewer and 4later Project No. 11�.�

aye, Chair.mail I�arris decl.ared t:h� Public Ilearing vpen at t3:22 P.M•
Mr. Darrel cla►•I: said that this rezoning request ���as from one commercial zoning
district into ano�her commercial zoning distric�.. The reason for this request �•aas
b2cause the com�nc �ci al area i n�:�hi ch thi s bu�; ness was novr zoned does not a i 1 ova bars
and t;avern. If any ore 4das ��rord�ring �,�hy this business t�1as already there, it ���as
because it 1-�as there before the z�ning ordinance v�as ado{�ted by the City of Fridley,
therefore, it was a legal i�on-conforming use. It can remain so as long as it ��Jas
not expanded in size and runs cantinuous as the same us�. Mr. Clark said that in
order �.o clarify this, he would read some of the uses p�rmiti;ed in a C-1 and C-1S
District and a C-2, C-2S Distr�ict.
He said first he would lisi: what.coulcl be in a C-1 and C-1S District which
are local business areas. It allot�s such things as: 1) Retail stores and shops
and small scrvice businesses such as: art'shops, professicnal studios, clothing,
drug, gt,ocery, rruit, meat, veteta�le, confectionury, ��ardti,�are, sporting goods,
statioi�ery, music> variety and notion stores, household appiiances5 fixture and
furnishing s�ores ai�d repair shops in connec�l:ion therewith; stores and shops for
barbers, L�eauticians, cabin�t. makers, electricians, jel��elers, �ti�atchmakers, locksmiths,
painters, plumbers, shoemakers, tai1ors, �ressmakers, clothes pressers, job printers,
blueprinters, photoc�raphers. 2) Bakeries, cafes, con�iectioneries, and ice cream and
soft d�"1t1IC, shops, inc1uding the prepara�tion of food products for retail sa1e �from
their s�ites only. 3} Liquor stores se��ing packaged goods. 4) Radio and television

7) Sale of farm and c�arden products. 8) O�h�r retail st�res and shops, offices and
small businesses catering to neic�hhorhood patronage, and similar in character �o
those enumera�:ed lbove. Mr. Glar�k said these ��rere the permitted uses in a C-1 and
C-1S Disi:rict.
He said the permitted uses in a C-2 and C-2S District (�°neral business and
shopping �reas} were business establishments that were retail or service es�ablish-

uses excluded in C-1, C-1S and C-2 and C-2S ti�rere any use permitted in h1-1
Districi:s and any use excluded from M-1 or M-2 Disi;ricts.
Mr. Clark said i;hat if the property were rezoned to C-2 it would be a use
conforming to the uses perinitted section of the City Code.
1�1r. Clark passed out some capies of the history of the site taken from legal
records of the City. He said the long legal sheets ��aerecopies taken from records
of Council minutes of the year 1957. He said he didn't think they had to be read,
i�t t�das jus't to indicat� that ���hat ti�ras taken from the records ��ras officially be�Fore
the Council. ThE minutes are ir,om February 28, i957, ar�d they sl�oi�r that th,•
Cii;y Council authorized the City Manager to terrninate the lease agreement with Bob
Car-Ison, the o�vrier of the building at 7365 Centra1 Avenue N.E. for an on-sale operation.
At thut same meeting, the Council authorized the City (�1anager to enter into an agrce-
ment �•�i1;h h1r. h1acf<ensie to rent City equipment a�t the liquor dis}�ei�sary at 73b5
Central l�venue fd. L". The equi pment i nvol ved ��ras some. on-sal e bar equi pment. Ai; the
same mee�;ing the Council approved licenses for cigarette, tavern operation, non-
intoxicating malt liquor and cafe operation to Mr. Gliff L. f�lacKenzie. If you are
wondering why this was being read into the minutes, it was because the City leased
a portion of the building, prior �:o the Council meecing of February 1957, for both
an on-sale and off-sale liquor operation. As of that date, or shorly afterward, i-c
becam� a private enterprise, as fa.r as i;he dispensing of beer> and perhaps set-ups,
although the records do noi; sho��� that thcy had set-ups. The City continued to kee�
the of-f-sale operation until February 15, 1964. As far as �Jha�: ��aas knot�rn today as

Robert Haskvitz held it in 1959 a��d 60. Tt was h�ld by the F;�idley American Legion
in 19G0 and 1961. In 1961 and 1962, it changed hands t���ice,•from Norman Alberice to
Joseph h1orris, fians Nansen held the �cer license in 1962 and 1963, and in 1963 ta
1965 the license t��as held by P�larlene Povlitzke, and has continued unct�r Povlitzl<e
ownership to the pt°esent time. �
h1r. Clark said that as far as the parcel involved, the frontage along Central
Avenue was 151 feet and �;he frontage along Onandaga was 257 feet making a total of
3II,675 square feet. �1r. Clark said the zoning in the surrounding area shoti��s that
di lgonally across the street there ��ras an exi sti ng �:rai 1 er park, di rectly across tf�e
street there ��Jas M-1 zoning ��rhich was occupied by a light manufacturing plant and
ice inanufact�tring plan�. The corner of 73 1/:° �znd Central has a used auto parts store,
and between 73rd and 73 1/2 it was zoned coi»n�c�cial and was presently occupied by
a service sta�;ion. Across i:he street from the ser�vice station on the south side of
73rd t,ras an inclustrial warehouse on some industrially zoned property, M-1. The
soutl�elst quad►,ant of the intersection of 73rd was occupied by Onan. The northeast
part of the int:ersection, he would call vacant, althaugh the remains of a basement
are on �;his property, and belongs to the American I�egion. Right between that and the
Frontier Club ti�fas an existing house ti�at was being occupied as a house. Across the
street from �:}�e Frontier Club on Onondaga, there was some vacant commercial property,
and just north of tl�at i;here was a vacant lat zoned C-1S. The north side of Fireside
was occupied by a vacant piano s�ore, zoned commercial, and nor`th of thai; there
was R-1 property with single family dwellings, th1i; have been built in the last t��ro
or three years. North of tP�e trailer park thcre was industrial zoned property that was
vacant. From 75th north on the east side of Central, was occ�rpied by single family

� homes. To th� east of the subject properl:y, there was a small sliver of land that
will r,emain C-1. The balance of �:he property was zoned R-1 and was occu��ied by
sing�e family homes as far as Stinson [31vd. There are two or �;hree apart�T�ent
� build�ings on 73rd across from Onan's, but the balance of this property was
basically sinyle family dvre1lings. He said th�re uras comrnerc�ia�l property along
Central Avenue ncar Osborne Road. f�e said the his�:ory of the zoning of the prorert:y
tha� ���as under discussion, and the zoning in the entire area, had r�emained basically
� the sarne since the year the zoning ot�dinance vras adopted vJVll•Ch a,�us January 1956.

Mr. Clark pui: on the screen a plot plan of the proper�y sho��ring that the parking
t�as in the froni; and rear oF the structure. He said �:his area was all blacktopped <it
i:he presen�: time, b«t if improverients arere made �;o the struct«re, or the occupancy
t�rithin the build�ing, i�re would ���ant so�»e green area. along the 151 feet along Centra1
Avenue and the 257 feet along Onondaga, ti�ri�:h parkiny to th� rear of the building.
h1r. Mark Fiaggerty saicf he thought ifr. Clark had given an excellent history of
the property in c����stion. I-le thought the point that should be most apparen� was
tha� this par'cicular area t�ras zoneci, ai�d hadn't b�en changed, since 1956, ��nd sub•-
sequent to thai;, thi s parti cu 1 ar area had bee�� used by the Ci ty of Fri dl ey as ai� on
and off sa1e liquor establishr�ent, which ���as the old municipal liquor store, so to
speak. It ��aas con�Lin«ed as an off-sale liquor store by the City until 1y64�. Ever
since 1950, ti�is particular piece of property has been used i`or on sale and off sale
at varioustimes, and has been continued as a beer garden or a 3.2 beer establishment5
up to the present time. H� said tha�; as you are very much avaare, we have becn
applying fora liquorlicerise since November of 1974. l�Je have made repeated applica�ions
to the Ci ty Counci 1, and i n the 1 atter part of Feb��uary or the mi ddl e of f�tarch s�ve
were �iniormed for the first time, of this zoning problem. Our firm v,�as unaware ef
i t, f�ir. PGV1 i tzi:e vaas una��Jdi�e cf i t, the Ci ty Cou�-�c71 vaas un�v��are of i t, and obvio«s1y
�the City Policc Department and the Plann�inc� Commission were una4,�are of it. The po�ir��.
he t��as maki ng ���as tha� i f there 44�as a probl em there, i t was creati ng a tremeridous
hardshi p on hi s cl i ent. I-I� sai,d he �-aas of the opi i��i on that thi s property had been
useci as a liquor establish���ent for near�ly ?_0 ye��rs, even if it t�,�as a legal non-
confor���ing use, and 4�,�as specifically exc1uded from C--1 zonin�. If f�1r. Povlitzke
ever �•,anted to sell %his pr�op�rty, tf�e fact that i.his was in ihe wrong zoning, vro�,ld
reduce tl�e value of the property, a��d this vdould be a hardship on his c1ient. He
thought it ��das absalutely imperative ti�at this prcperty be rezoned. He said they ���d .
a1so made applicat�ion to the 6oard of �'�ppeals, whei�her that �:�ould make any difference
at fhis time. He said that �ti�f;at he tti�as requestin� at this tin�e ��tas that the rezon-ii�g
request be approved, so Mr. Povlitzke can go on with his requiremen�:s, and coi�tinue
llll��l�ovi ng the premi ses , and conti i�ue hi s aE�pl i cati on 7=or a 1 i quor 1 i cense. He ��1as
sure that the peti �;i oner ��roul d acaree to any ��equi ren�ents necessary to get thi s rezon-
ing approv�d. He said �;hat before he ���ent any further, he would like to ask if there
was any one in tf�e audience ��aho abjec�;ed to this pi�operi;y being rezoned. There u��s
no response. He said that evei°yone in the ai°ea had been notified of this request,
and no one tvas present to protest this zoning change. He said the only thing that
was really being changed were the record books.
Mr. Harris said the Planning Commission had receiv�d a letter from Chester L.
Cole of 1382 Ononda�a Street and he would let Mr. Haggerty read the letter before

II:00 P. h1. meeti ng of the Pl anni ng Comm�i ssi on �o consi der 4�Jyman Srni th's request
for Itichard Povlitzke and i:he Fridley I=rontier Club, Inc., to rezone from C-1
to C-2, ��de are deiinitely nat in favor of your mak�ing this change. /�lso, we wouid
request no�arki� signs on our streei; - not resident ar•H:in� o�. t�le have difficult,y
backing into t{ie street wl�en the pa�;rons to the al�ove cluu park on our s�:reet. /11so,
the verbal exchanges fi°equer,tly heard in the early hours (both summer and ���inter)
would be less annoyiny if parking ��ras noi on a residential street. Doesn't Fridley's
code include adcqua�;e �ark�ing rcgulations for each business to off-str�et parking
mus-t be proviued: Than{; you for giving consideration to our opinion and desire,
Sincer�ly yours, I�1r. & P�1rs. Chester L. Cole.
Mr. Haggerty said,tha�: it seemed tha�; his only objection was the parking on tf�e
si;reet itself. Fle said that �if i:hat �;�as a problem, and he had discussed this v�ith
his cl�ient, they could provide addifi.ional parF;inc� by purchasing property across the
streit �for t�11S purpose. fle said tha�: this ���as �Lhe first time they had �een maue
aware o i thi s par�i cu 1 ar probl em, and they �•�oul ci be wi 11 i ng to si t doti��n u�i th th�
Planning Commiss�ion and solve this problem in � ny �vay the Planning Comm�ission saG�� fii;.
He said they �aould try i:o accommodai:e �1r. Cole �n any vray �:hey could. ,
Mr. C1arN: said the reason there ���as a sliver of C-1 property east of the Fro«tier
Club 4�ras because this area �ti�as zoned before it v�as platted. T�; vras pla.tted aboui;
10 years ago by t��r. Carlson into lJalnut Addition and the lot 1ines did not follovr
�:he zoning lines.
Mr. Clarl: said there was reference made thatMr. Povlitzke ��ould have a problc�m
selling �:his property iar�en it was a legal non-conforming «se. If he sold it to
someone to be used just the same as it vdas �being used no4v, it could coni;inue as it
was, or it co�ld be used for a lesser use.
. Mr. {-{aggerty said that hir. Povlitzke had invest�d over �7Q0,000 in this propc�rty
ovet, a peri od of years 4�Ji th the i nt�nt that som�c(ay he woul d I�ave a ful 1 1 i quor 1�i c�nse.
He has developed a business, a clie��iele, and he has said that heu�ants �o improve the
business by pu�:ting in ?arger tables, imurove i:he ex�erior and tf�e parking area. I�c
said he thougl�t this ttirould be an improven;ent tha.t �v�uld affecL the entire area. 1�1i-i;h
his investment, there ti��as the fact �:f�at after this a��ea v�as zoned C-1, �he City of
Fridley had an on-sale liquor establishment at this 1ocation.. Ne granted �;hat it ��aas
some time since the City had used �ii -for this pu���pose, t�iat it has al�-aays been used
at 1 east as a 3. 2 1 i quor es tabl i sf�ment. He tho.�.ight that at �thi s 1 ate date, I�lr. Povl i��zke
shou�ld be gi�len consideration for the investment he I�ad made, for the good will h� has
es�Lablished, Und for the general improven,ent to the area if this rezoning ���as allo�,�red.
Mr. Lindblad said that 4�ith all tf�e information that had been presented, alonc�
►�vi th the fact that �•ri th so many peopl e bei ng not�i fi ed of thi s reques�;, and there �-;as
no one het�e in opposition to this rec�uesi;, he titi�as in favor of reccmnie,iding approval
of �:his request for rezoning.
h1r. Drigans asi<ed Mr. Clark thai if the rezoning was granted, would there be any
additional set�ack re�uirements or any vari�nces needed. Mr. Clark said the setl�ack
requirements were the same in C-1 and C-2, so a zoning change �vould noL affect these
requirements.
Mr. Dric�ans said that as he understands this request, the petitioner was askiny
for this rezoning because it was discovered thai; this vaas a legal non-conforming use,
yet hi s ul timai:e �oal �aas i:o establ i sh a restaurant t��pe of establ i shmeni;, t�vhi ch ��ras
i�ot consisi:�-�nt with the present zoninc�. h1r. Ilaggerty said this could be phrased in
a number of ways, bui: now that it had been brought to 1;he ati:ention of the Ci�;y ti;��t
this business 4Jc3S a leg�11 I1011—COnfQY'111111c� use, it had caused problems for his elient.

Ne said that �,�hen Mr. Povlitzke called the Ci�:y and asked if he cauld put in pool
tab1es, and i�hey indicated that a•re could not do this, it made us anticipate a lo�;
of problems. In order to avoid these problems> in ordcr to prevenl; Mr. Pavlitzke
from having to call �;he Cii:y every time he ���nts to make•some change in his operation,
because of the present zoniny, this property should.be rezoned. He said the only
changes that 4•�ould come from this rezoning vrould be �:hat the building vdould be improved.
We are only requesting that the zoning conform to the use i;l�is building has ��ad ror
over 20 years.
t�r. Driqans said pool tabl�s i�rould not be in violation of this zoning, only
billiards and pool halls are exc1uded from this zoning. P�1r. Haggerty said he agreea,
but i�rhat he �-,as d�iscussir�g were the technical interpretations �;hat brought up difficul-
ties for ffr. Povl itzke. He said he uras noi: say�i��g the f4r. Povlitzke vrould have
problems, or that legal1y he should have, but this ���as a possibility, and in order to
avoid this prob1em, as a�ell as fut�re problems, he felt this area should be rezoned.
Mr. Drigans said that ��ahat the Planning Commission had to consider ��as if it
was pruden�: comn�unity plann�ing to locate a restaurant establishment adjacent to a
residential a��ea, an estUbl�ishment that could have a noon day luncheon that could
feature lingerie sho��rss �for instance, the problem of par{:ing for a supper club type
o�F establishm�nt in a residential area. He said i:ha�; the case 1�1r. I-laggerty had
stated ��,as that this business had al4vays been there and that it had alv,�ays been a
liquor establishrnent. ��ir. Grigans said he felt this had been a neighborhood establish-
ment as opposed to a more open restaurant establishment. 7his was the difference that
he could see. Mr. Povliz�;e said he I�ad sorr� of tf�e best entertainment in the T��vin
City area, and had a�7,C00 band for a night, and he dicin't think this could be
considered a neighborhood establishment.
� Mr. Povlitzke said he bought �;his property as a bar, and it vdas a liquor
establishmer�: before, so who made the error. He asked if he made the error or did
the Ci ty mal:e the error.
Mr. Haggerty said he though� �;here ��ras just unai�areness on the subject of the
proper zoning. He said that !�1r. Drigai�s had sta�ted t}�at; this was bordering a
residential area, and if you look a�t the zoning map, the �facts, ii' you want to
get technical about it �•�as that this property t�,�as completely surrounded by a
commercial and ind�istrial area, except -for the property to the east. Ne said he
knew i;hat in other ���eas of Fridiey there �vere restaurant areas tha�; border residential
areas. He said a case in point would be h1r. St;eak and.�the other food establishments
in that same area thai: border on resident�ial prope��ty. F{e didn't think the chanc�e
Mr. Drigans ���as envisioning ��as going to be that much of a change. As far as the
number of people �vho would be frequenting this operat�ion, h1r. Povlizke has already
mentioned that he wanted to have larc�er tables, and h� wanted to bring in pool tables
or other means of entertai nment. Thi s ti-doul d reduce the number of �eopl e who ��voul d
be coi»ing into this establishmeni:. If the Planning Commission was worried abou�: the
traffic ar�d parhing �roblem, he said they ti���erc willing to negotiai:e or attempt to
urchase more property in the general vicini�:y. Ne said he appreciated the concerns
�he Planning. Gommission� might have, but he didn't think there should be so much
concern thai: it should prevent them from recommending approval of this request for
rezoniny. '
Mr. Drigans said he had another concern �-aith this type of;esi.ablishment being
next to a resideni.ial area, and i:hai: was the police pr�oblern. He wondered what type.of
pf°oblem we have wiih this establ�ishment, noi; i:h1t we didn't have problems with al�i
such establishments, and he would like to know.ti�e history of this operation.

' Mr. Haggerty said it was ti�e same �rs any esi;ab1ishment of this type. There
were a number of times thai; the pol i ce l��ave had to be ca i 1 ed i n vrhen some one aaas
disorder°ly or had bec.ome ini:oxicated. He saia his client had been insi;►�ucted that
' any time there vras any problem that he should call �;he police. This was what h�
had done, and the police have come. He said tf�at he had cal1ed the pol�ice as a
sort of protective policing, in that they are called before a situation got out of
control. I1e saicl he i;houyht the police had done a fine job for the Fror�tier Clu!:� and
' he felt that. any such estab�ishment ��rould have a record of calling the police, at
least a few times.

Mr. Povlitzke said he felt i;hat Sandee's was in a more residential area than
tl�e F�rontier Cl�b, and they have a liquor l�icense.
Mr. liagyerty sai d tha�: ��ir. Povl i zke vrants to improve hi s establ i shment. He �•aants
to make it; more enjoyable for his pa�;rons, irnprove the exi;er�ior, improve i.he park�iny

said they ��an�ed '�o �^�ork Gvi�:h the Cii;y to improve tt�e areu.
t�r. Povlitzke said that in an establishment such as h�is wl�ere you sell set-ups,
you do not have much control. So.nL one ca.n buy a bottle of beer and drink a quar-c
of liquor vrith it, v,�hich i�ras unconi;roliable. He said you t-�ould have much more car��-rol
when you sell i:he liquo��. He said there was quite a di�ference in the clieni;e1e o�f
a beer establ7 shmen� ar�d a�I iquor establ i shr�er�t..
frr. Langenfeld said tha�; i�i tl�e Council minutes o�f January 13, 1975, Mr. PavlitZke
was asl;edt��hat he fel t the an�ounl; of tfie investmant v��oul d be and Mr. Povl i zl:e had

it ��ras hard i,o vi sual �i z� i:hat ,there v;cul d be that muc{� a�'�e� to hav� al l these �h � nns.
He would like to have P�1r. I{aggeri.y give input on ti�a�i, bas'is. Mr. I�aggcrty saiG I�c
t�ould a�k his client to elaborat� more on what he ��das propos�ing. Mr. Povlizki said he
used ShorevJOOd Lour,ge as an example o�= �-��here they have food, enterta�in�n�nt and liquo� .
He said he didn't mean he ��,��s going to have indiv�ici�al rooms like Shore�-roatl had. It
could be all in one room. Darre�i C1arf: said that t��hat he thought P�9r. Langeni�id G:�zs .
asking 11�c1S ��;hai type oF improvem�nt thcy i'ntended to mal<e on the interior of thc

Mr. Povlitzke ���ouid �vant to make. It sho�veci �;hat abou�t 7,?_00 square feet of tl�e '�
building �Arould be used for the Fraiitier Club. Mr. Clark said a question he would
have r�ould be f7ol� i�itich of the siri�cture �tiould be left �if this floor plan aras �-ollo�-,�ed.
Mr. Povl i 1:-r_ke sai d he thougi�t; i� tvoul d be abou t 1, 000 square feet.
Mr. I�arris asked Mr. Naggert:y if he thought an error had been make in the zoning
of this property in the {�irst place. h1r. Naggerty said the zoning ordinance has
chanqed over the years, and he didn't 4%now ho�,� much they i�ad chanyed since 195G. i�r•
Clark had a copy of the original zoning ordinance of 1956 and said it ti�:as basically
the same as the present zoning code, as far as wf�ai; was ailowed in the zoning districts.
Mr. Ha�gerty said it seemed paradoxical that the City zoned this pro�erty C-1 which
excludes taverns and bars serving intoxicating iiqu�rs, and i;hen used this property
for thai: use themselves. He said he would have thouc�ht the City would have zoned
this C-2, but as Mr. Clark had poini:ed out, tf1iS pr•operty hadn't been platted at the
time of the zoninc�, so it would be easy t� ma{;c a misi;ake. Ile�said hc didn't know
why this was zoned Lhis way, and he couldn't make an opinion on whether this was a
mistake. �

Mr. Narr�is asked if Mr. Haggerty 1;hen felt �:hat 1;his zoning shouldn't apply to

and �;hey t-�ere c�oing �;o ar���c1r before the Qoard of Appeals on Lhis qu�s�:ion, but hc

' Mr. Harris asl%ed h1r. Ilaggeri:y v�V�at additional burden this ��rould put on the
surrounding i�eighborhood if i;he Planning Canmiss�on reco�rmerided that i:his rezoning
request be approved. Mr. I�aqgerty said that from his investigation of the situai.io7,
� tha� i;here �-�ou�d no�; be that much of �an addit�ional burden, if any. He asked Mr.

��,ould be abou�: 270 people. Mr. Haggerty said that t�Jhen we i-�ere talking about a
reduction of people, VJG a�ere tab:ing a�ou�; a reduc�i:ion of 130 people. Fle saici �:he
, first tf�inc �;h�is ���ould do t�rould be to alleviUte the traffic problem that t�ir. Cole

h1r. Drigans asl<ed ifi the petitioner was den��ed �;he rezoning, and eventually
denied tl�e l�iquor license, couTd he legal1y concinue to o�erate his present estaUl�ish-
ment: h1r. Clark said he could as a legal non-conforming use.
Mr. Clark said he vdould tal:e a different examnle. Tf there had be�n a service
station here in 1956, and �it looke� �o th� nl�nners at that time like that propc�t°i:y ,
sheul d be zoned �-1 , because i i 1 ooked 1 i k� ��t �vas gci ng i;o be a si ng�l e fami 1y di �tri ct,
even if the s�.�rrounding ar�ea �las all vacant at �;he time, as a lot of Fridley uras in
195f, that service station could co��tinue to operate as long as it remained a se��vice
stat�ion. It could chanye ownersh�ip nu�ner�ous times ai?d still ren�ain a service station.
Mr. Dr�igans sai d the Zoni ng Adn�i ni strator had i ndi caied, a��d he Uaanted to read
ti�is..... "the intent of the zoning orci�inance is �to al low non-conforming uses to
continue for a reasonable period o�� time so as not to invoke a hardship on the
o���ner of an existing non-conforminc� use at the time of the zoning restriction was
enacted. lio�vever, it is 11so th� objective af zoning ordin�nces to eliminate non-
conforming uses within a reasonable time."........f�1r. Drigans ask�d P1r. Ciark if wl�at
he had been saying was tliat there 4NdS no reasonable time established? Wasn't 14 years
or whatever it was, a reasonable �;�ime? �
Mr. Clark said he wasi�'t the Zoning Administrator, but he could vcnture a guess
as to why he si;ated 1:hose things. If it 4vcre a service station in an island of an
R-1 District, it may just die for l�.�ck of busines,. If it closed as a sei�vice station,
and remained closed for more than one year, it could not be opened a�ain as a service
station, or if it was destroyed by more than 50" by a fire orsome o�:her "act of God",
such as 1 tornado or t�ind storm, ei:c., it could not be rebuilt as a service station.
The same thiny would �pply to the Frontier Club. Anything that was destroyed by more

no speci�fic t�in�e in years or months �;hat a legal non-conforming use can exist.
� h1r. La.ngenfeld said he would like to get back to the basics of i;his request,
and it was his understanding �;hat bars, taverns, restaurants, etc., are k���'m:tt�ed
uses in a C-2 Uistrict. Flis quesi;ion to Darrei Clark was just wr�ere �rroud this

Chairman Harris asked h1��. Haggerty if he v��u1d like �to sum up his reasons on
��rhy this property should be rezo��eci. P�ir. Haggerty said tl�e primary reason was the
length of i;ime this property had been used as one o� the uses tha� was excluded
from C-1 zoning, �he investmeni: that Mr. Povl�itzl:e had �ut into the premises, 1;he
misconcep�;ion Lhai; the C�ity of Fridley, �;he ?oning Ad�i�inistra�or, the Police, and
everyonc has had �s to v�rhati zoning this par�icular ;�iece of property had. He didn't
think ��1r. Povli�czke should I�e penalized at this 1ai:e date. HQ �lso �:f�ouqh we should
look back to the time vdhen this par�cicular piece of property �vas originally zoned in •
1956 iti�hen the City of Friciiey was opera,ting ai� on and off sa1e liquor establishme��i.
He also fe1t thaf. this req�.�est shou1dn't be denied �rhen nobociy has made any complaints

landscaping, arid if need be, 4��� vrould obta-in mo��e property for parkiny, so as to

reasons, but just on these reasons �:ione he �;hought t;hey should be allotti�ed to go
ahead rJith their plans ancl the only way �hat co«ld b� accomplished t��as for the Planniny
Conimiss�ion to-recommend appr�oval of tr�e rezoring rec�uesi. .
Mr. Langenfeld said i�e appreciated the feelii�rs of the adjacent neighbors,
also the fee1i��gs of Mr�. Povlitzke, bu� he felt: a final decision sf7ould be made
on updating the zoning. His personal apinion aras tha�; this ��roperty should to

addressed the problem ofi nan-confo��ming use 4vhich 1�1r. Langenfeld had alluned to,

Aftet� a substantial revie�v of the City of Fridley Zoning Code and other related

license c�n C-1 prop�rty througi� �n existing non-conforming use is denied. The reasons
for denial 1re as follows: l. That the manner of operai:ion of a non-conforming
�use �vould be sui�stantially changed by permitting the convers�ion of a 3.2. and set-
up operation to an operation having an on-sale liquor licens�e. That while both
3.2 beer and hard liqi�or are classified as alcol�olic beverayes, the former is
classified as a non-intoxicating beverage and 1;he latter as an ini;or.ic<Zting beverage,
and ti�a�: both �:he munici��ali�:y and the legislature have n�ade substantial distinct�ions
between �:he sale of the t:��;o conunodities. 2. 7hat the requested appl ication for an
on-s�le liquor license contemplates an increase in the size of the non-conforming

� use. I��hi 1 e i t i s true that the exteri or of �:he bui 1 di �g woul d not �c� en1 arc�ed, i t
is liketi�rise true that a larger por��ortion of the bui1ding would be used for the non-
conforminq use, and i:f3a�: conversely, a sma.1ler portion of the bui1ding would be used
� for conformii�g uses. 3. Th�t the granting of an on�sa•�.� liquor license would cause
a perpetuation oT a non-conforminc� usc�. The �inteni; af the zoning ordinance �is to
a11o�v noi�i-coiiforming uses i:o coni:inue for a reasonable per�iod of 1;ime so as not to
� invoke a hardship on the owner of an existing ��on-con�Forrning use a�; the time the
zoning restriction ti�las enacted. Ho;�ever, ii; �is also the objective of zoning ordii�ances
to eliminate non-conforin�ing uses 4�r�ithin a reasonable i;ime. A c�rani:ing of an on-sa.le
� licGnse to i:his applicant a�ould not be consistent ��ith that o�jective. 4. Tha1;
granting of an on-sale license �vould produce a greater burden on the neighborhood..
The applicant in requesting the on-sale license indica.ted i.hai; one of the reasons
- for the request �•aas �hat �•��i�;h such a license, he would be able ��o a�ttract more business
� to the �loca�;ion, If ihis is correct, it ti�rou1d produce a greai;er bur•den on tf1E
neighborhood that is existing under the pres�nt non-cor�forming use.

tactic to deny anci delay an issuance of a liquor 1icense. It is a rea.l �roblem
that exists and should be corrected through procedures provided in tl�e City Code."
�1r. Urigans sa�id his point ��aas �:hat a1thouah the Board of Appeals must consider
the decision by the "I_oning Adminisi;rai;o��, !�e does sta.tei:hat it is his opinion that
to cio iror� a 3.2 beer opera�.ion to a restaurant type of operat-ion �,ras a substantial
incr�c�ase in ihe operat�ion. f�1r. Povlitzl:e has increased the non-conforming use by
degr•ees, and that 4-�as t���hat the (�(-'-L1t1011�Y' ��as cantinuir�� to attempt to do. f�1r.
Dr�icyans sa�id this bus�iness ��lasosta.rtc�c! as a 3.?_ becr establishn�ent and not�� he pla,�s
to c�o to a�Ful l scal � restaur�znt type of operati on, and there ��ri 11 be a substan�;i al
dif�'erence in the opera�cion, and hir. Drigans said tr�ei�� laid his dilemma.
P1r. f(agger�ty said that he co��ld come back wi�:h a lot of counters on these points,
tha�: coul d go ort fo�� a hai f hout°, 1 egal op i ni ons to 1 egal deci si ons , but he th�«c�h � •
this t��ould be brough� up at the Boarci of �lppeals m�eting o�f the 15th:.' Mr. Clarl< said
tha t by rl cJI1�:S �tll1 S �-yas ��rher� �i t SI10U� Ci ic�V� been brou���t up.
�ir. Hacrqet°ty said they recognized thaL tl�ere ���as a zoning problem, and he agreeci
wi �; i the Publ i c t�JorE:s Di rector tlial: there ti�us a probl em. He sai d that what ���e ��aere
1:rying �:o say r.�as that i�rlr.�n this property ��Jas zoned l� years ac�o, the City had a�� on
and off sale liquor operation at this location. S�ince Mr. Povlitzk�obtained this
opei°ztion, he has devcloped it, he has investcd money in�;o it, granted 1;hat he has
extendc�d tl�e use of that; pi°oper�ty as an alle�ed non-confiorrning ��se, but he has improved
ii; while he t�as been doing it. It ���ould seem to Mr. Hac�gerty �Lhat tl�is was a verv
late stage to all of a sudden say, hold it, you caii't go any further. He said that
we can see that Mr. Povlitzke ��as attempting in good faith to improve the premises,
and he thought the best remedy, as the f'ublic t�!orks Director. mcntioned, was that it
�should�be corrected through the procedures �rovided in the City Code. Ne said i;hat
t�vas exactly what they were c7oing with this r�zoninc� request. We are trying to correct
a�:►°�ble►n thai had apparen�:ly gone unnoticed for 18 years and he �vas asking ti�e

a liquor license, tha�; was a Council matter, but his dilemma was that if we rezon�
we could have a restaurant establishment next to a resi deniial area.
Mr. Naggerty sa7d you have that si�:uation all over the City of Fridley. (�e
said that in tl�is particu1a�° situation it ��ras not really oriented as a residential
area. l3ecause of tlie p1atting and with the sm�ll sliver of com�T�ercial property
east of �.he f=r�ntier Club, this property cioes not technical'ly adjoin any R-1 properi.y•
In reality there v,�as residential property, I�uL only on the east side of this establish-
meni:. The individual; �vho live righ� n�xt door to the Frontier Club, the ho��se
to �:he south �-rhich ��ras o�� commercial property, and the first f�ouse to the east in
a residential area, have macfe ►�o objec�;ion i.o tl�is rezoning request. If anybody ti�rGs
going to m�4;e ariy objec�:ions, in arder to have a valid argument, it should have
been one oF th�se tt�fo indiv�iduals. They are not at this m�eting, and c�rtainly �f
i;hey had ��ani.ed to ma{:e objectioris, this rJOUId }�ave been the pldce to do it. He
saic+ �i:hat all tt�c�y t,�ere a�:ten��pting to do now that the problem had been made knov�n
to i;ilC{ll, b�as to go throuqh the rroper legal procedui�es to have the proL,iem corrected.
lie said this vaas �;he best vray �:o correct it. T• should imF�t�o��e the area, and i�:
�vould ac�l:ually �in i�act lessen ihe burden on �:h� area because of the lo���er traffic
load, and hopefully ii; n;ay even improve the class of clien�:el��ho go to the.Frontier

Mr. liagger�ty s«i d the pl ans have been • sho��n , and 'thi s had been di scussed very

Mr. Naggerty said �:hai; there �-aas one thing he would like to poinl; out in
1 regard to the Special Use ('ermit. He said this �roperty t-ras zoned prop�rly for
th�is typ� of est�i�l�ishment. �fhe reason for the Special Use Perrnit was so that the
Plann�ing Cornmission, the Cit:y Fathers, and the people in the surrounding area had
� an opportunity to have son�e inpul; on how the proper use of this pro��erty ��aould be
esi;abl ished. Ile said i;he poini: he was making ��as that �:here ��dere a number of oth^r
uses that tt7i s property could have, e-i 1:her wi th a Speci al Use I'errni �; or under C-?_S

r�pair shops, florist shops, con;mercial recreation, t�esl;auran�s, excl�iding "drive-ins",

1�1r. Haggerty said that businesses i;hat required a Special Use Permit in C-2S

agencies sellinc� or displaying ne��,�, «nused vehicles, and as they �vould have used cars

becluse of special varianc�s to ti�e cod� in the �1st, had no commercial use whatsoever.

denieci an oil sta�t:ion irom going into �this area at 79th and Easi; River Road and that
1ot h�c! more spure �foota.ge than this prop°rty. He said tihat Fridley had gone to a great

Mr. P4ark Haggerty, of the �aw firm Smith, Ju.ster, Feikema, Haskvitz & Casserly, was

Chairman Drigans read to the Board, Sectian 205.182� Powers and Duties of Board
of Appeals, from the City Code. This Sec�ion states, "The board shall have the
power and duty of hear_ing and recommendinq �o the City Council as herein provided,
appeals or requests i.n the following cases: 1. Appeals where it is alleged that

an administrative offi_cer in the enf_orcement of this chapter or of the State
Building Code. 2. Requests for variances of the State Building Code from the
literal provisions of this chapter in instances wr.ere strict enforcement would
cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property
under consi.deratian." Chairman Drigans added tha.t the request tY�e Board is
hearing tonight relates �a item #1 of this sectian.
Chairrnan llrigans then read to the Board, Sectioil 205.151, Non-Conforming Uses and
Structures, subsection #1 which states� "1. Any str.uci�ure or use lawfully existing
upon the effect.ive date af this Ordinance may be continued a� the size and in

also read subsecL-iori #3 that states, "3. Gdhenever �.he non-conforming use of a
structure is changed to a use p�rmitted in a more restricted district, such u�e
shal]. not thereafter be changed to a�se permitted in a 1ESS restricted district."
Ch�irman Drigans added that th� zoning distr_ict that is involvecl in thi.s case is
C-1, and h� read from the City Code, SecLion 205.1.0?., subsection 1B, Uses Lxcluded,

� Mr. Mattson then introduced the property in questi_on to the Board by pointi.ng it
out on the Fridley map and also by giving tYiem the portion of the half section
map showing this property. Chairman Dri,ans pointed out the zoning and existing
� uses of the land in the general area around the Frontier Club. This summary
point�d out 5 dit'ferent zonings located in this area.
� Mr. Sobiech stated that the initiation of this request began with a memorandum
from i�ir. Wyman Smith indicating tliat he would like a determination from the
Zoning Administrator that granting a liquor license to the su}�ject property (Frontier
Clu.b) would be a legal ext.ension of a non-conforming use. He said the memorandum
1 was addressed to the City Manager, b7r. Nasim Qureshi, but the City Attorney made
the determination that the Zoning ndministrator was the Pu.blic Warks Director and
therefore he received'the request. •

Chairnian Drigans stated the Board should identify the letters and parts of the
Codes that they are referring to as exhibits; Exhibit #,'1- Powers and Duties of
Board of Appeals, Exhibit #2-Non-coniorming Uses and Structures, Exhibit #3- Uses
Excluded in C-1 anu C-1S, Exhibit #4--State Law on Non--intoxicating Malt Liquor,
Exhibit #5-State Law on Intoxicating Liquor, Exnibit #6-Section of Map referred to,
Exhibit #7-I�1er�o from P•ir. Smith to Mr. Qureshi dated March 19, .1975.
Mr., Sobiech stated that basically after receiving this memorandum, he reviewed
the City Code for C-1 zoning, and under the Code, tlie use of taverns or bars is
excluded and therefore he would be functioning this who]_e review on this•
situation, as a non-conforming use. He said after reviewing the City Codes and
Minnesota Statutes, a finding that the applicant was entitled to a liquor license
for an existing non-conforming use was denied. He said there were several reasons
why he interpreted the Code as such. He said he would qo through the letter he
wrote to Mr. Smith which includes these reasons for denial. The first reason was;
that the manner of operation of the non-conforming use would be substan�ially
changed by permitting tl�e conversion o� a 3e2 and set-up oper.ation to an operation
having an on-sale liquor license. iie added that Mr, Smith, in his memorandum,
alluded to the f�ct that 3.2 beer existed at their facilities prior to the
implementation of the Zoni_ng Code and that it was therefore a legal non-cor�forming
use as 3.2 beer is an al.coholic beverage. He sazd he agreed that 3.2 beer is an
alcoholic bev�rage but the State and City in adopting tlzeir various licenses and
application procedur..s for these 7_icenses, show a very substantial difference
exists betcaeen allocation of issuance of a license for �.� 3.2 operation versus aii
intoxicating liquor type operation. He said due to tlze sul�stantial difference
implied through the City Code and State Statutes, this was a major point of
C31SCUaSlU11e
Mr. Sobiech said the �econd reason for denial of the request was that the requested
application for an on-sale liquor license contemplates an increase in the size of
the non-con£orming use. He said tk7is was based mainly on the plan submitted at
the public heara.ng meeting of January 13, 1975. Iie passed out to the Board the
minutes of this meeting. The plan was also s3iown to the I3oard. He explained ta
the Board tlie portion oL the buildiilg used for the 3.2 �peration and addecl that
their ]:itchen facilities had been removed'but the owner had indicated at the
meetiiig tliat they would be replaced. He said in essence the use of the establishment
had been reduced on one encl in that i:hey did not have the kitchen facilities; here
tYiey are nroposing the kitchen facilities, includirig remodeliny of the existing
structures. He said it should be noted that there is t.o be no exterior remodeling.
11n additional expansiori that was noted on the plans, was to the north, and upon
discussion it was determined that this would be used for storage, and Mr. Sobiech
'
�
Pac� ''
The Minutes of thc: �3oard of 1lppeals Sul�cornmittee Meeting of 11pri1 15, 1975
4B
added that in essence, it is makinq available an additional amount of the existing
building for a nan--conforming use.
� The third reason r7r. Sobiech stated for denial was that tlie gran ting of an on-sale
liquor ]_icense :vould c�zuse a p���rpetuation of a non-conforming use. Iie said basically
the intent of the 'Loning Code is to allow a non-confo�in_q use for a reasonable
� amount of time. He added with tlie g.ranting of the issuance of a liquor license ta
tllis establiahment, the request would be to continue a non-con�orming use and in
this case, beyond a reasonable amount of time.

'1'he final reason for denial, Mr. Sobiech stated was based on an assumption that h�
made from what the ocaner Yiad stated at the pulalic hearing meetinq. He said with
the amount of invest.�nent that was noted'at the meeting, he felt the petitioner
would have to make up this investment somehow and that would be to draw more
busitiess. He said if this is correct, it would produce a grea�.er hurden on the
neighborhood than what is existing under the present iion-conforming use.
Mr. Sobiech stated that for tnese reasons, and in summarizing these, it was
determined that the non-conforming use does exist, because of the fact that
taverns are not allowed in C-1 areas� He said non-conforming uses are allowed
to continue for a reasonable periad of time and that the issua.nce of a liquor
license woulcl extznd this use as far as he would call indefinitely, and finally
that granting a liquor license would change.the existing operation quite
substantially from a 3.2 operation �aith set-ups to an intoxicating liquor op�ration.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked i_� the Council has ever established ti�hat they consider a
reasonable period of tim�. Mr. Sobiech answered that Council could vary it from
situation to situaLion, and in this case, it �vas felt that a reasonable time has
elapsed and that the issuance of a liquor l�_cense would continue this non-conforming
use for an indefinite period of time. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if the reasonable time
period has evf�r been tested in � court o.f law. Mr. Sobiech answered not to his
knowZedge> Mrs. Wahlberg stated that this non-conforming use t�as been existing for
a long per.iod of time.
Chairman Drigans said that the Board should look at the type ot operation and use
for. this i�acility during i.he past years to see where the non-conformance started.
P�r, Nlattson stated he tiad a graphic history of the property which he said he would
e�plain to the Baard.
Chairman Drigans said the Board should mark as Exhibit 8- Public 4Jorks Director's
lettc�r dated April "T, 1y75, L,xh;ibit 9- Caiincil Public Hearing Minutes of January 1.3,
19'75, Lxhihit 10-Graphic history of this properi�y, and Exhibit 11- Finance Director's
memo dated rlarch 7,1975.
Mr. Mattson explained that the graph shows a variety of ways to set'up a liquor
establishment. He stated that this location has had pure off-sale, on-sale and
off-sale, on-sale �vith set-ups, and then the gx'aph shows on sale liquor license
at i:he top i.n the evcnt there i.s a license issued to this property. He continued
tliat the of_f--sale por.tion started in October of 1949 and ran through February of
1964. I:ie said the on-sale ran f.r_orn February of 1950 thraugh 1956, just prior to
the trarisfer fr.ont municipal status to private status, only at that point it was
no loriger a bar where intoxicating liquor was k�eing served but it was knowii as
a�loca.lc servinr, 3.2 beer and this was i.n January or 1'ebruary of 1�"�7, which has
run C0111:111tlOUSly Utll:l� the prescnt date. Hc said in July of 19G4 the set-up
license caas established per arclinance.

The hiinui.es of the Boaxd of nppeals atibcocn�nii�tee Meetinq o£ A�ril. 15, 1975
Chairrnan Drigans asked when the non-conforzning use came into existance. Mr. Mattson
answerecl 1957 and Chairman i�rigans said at which. time tliere was an off sale and an
on sale tor 3.2.beer. f^.r. Mattson said this is when the City phased out it's bar
and i�;sued 3.2 beer lic�nses. (r�'. P9attson noted the non-conforming date should have
been Janu�ry, 1956 instead of- 1957, Tie noted this after the meeting was adjourned.)
Chainnan Drigans now asY.cd Nir. Haggerty iL he would present his request.
Mr. H�.iggerty s<�id to begin our requcsi:, so far its been stated that the request is
being askea for under two sections of the Code and he said he would like to have
this request �lso considered undcr 205.1�32, subdivision 2� wherein it states that
if there is a hardship, a variance fr_om the literal interpretation of an ordinance
can be obtained from the Lioard of Appeals. He said in the initial presentation,
the Chairman i_ndicated that it was only being considered under subdivision 1 and
he sai_d he would also like it con.sidered under subdivision 2.
4C
Chairman Drigar.s stated thaL- in reading Mr. Smith's memorandun of P�ar.ch 19, he
, states that in the event tl�e 7oning Administrat�Y refuses to make an aff.irmative
determination of the request, Mr. Smith �aould �4ant the ruling su:�mitted promptly
to the Board of Anpeals as provided in Section 45.182 of i:he City Code, Chairman
� Drigans aclued t�hat the public hearing notice stated that the request was an appeal
of the Zoning Administrator's interp.retation. Mr. Haggerty asked if the public
hearing notice was prepared by Mro Smith. Ch.airman Drigans said all public hearing
notices are prepared by the administrat.ion. Nir.. i3aggeri�y saicl P1r. Smith asked for
� an appeal of the entire ordinance which would include subdivision 2. Mr. Haggerty
said the reason Ile is askir.g for this request is that initially they are arguing
that the Ptwlic 4^Tork Director's interpretation of the ordinance on this particular
nan-conformin�� use is incorrect. He said iri the alternative, they are saying tha�
if tiie Eoard i_nsists and if the Pub]_ic Work Director insists on having such a
literul 7_nter�retation of �at:at thut use is, they want to have the opportunity to
, argue that there is a substantial hardsh:ip here, ar.d that the Frontier Club shoulc�
be allowed a w�ivor from the 1_iteral inter_pr.etation of that particular non-conforminq
use. Mr. Sobiech as?ced if this means that a hardship could result because of the
� interpretation. Mr. Haggerty said this �aas correct, I�. Sobiech stated that he
felt the Board could possibJ_y consider �oth ite.-ns, in that the memo did refer to
that section of the Code wl�ich includes both subdivisions. He said if the
interprctation tha� he had is upheld, and Mr. Haggerty.feels there is an argument
I tor a harclship, it seems li};e it would be proper since we are addressing that
sectioz�.
'
�
r
Chairman Drigans sai_d tl�at this seems to need from the City's point of view a
legal inter��retation. iie said he woulci like a legal apiziaon as to �ahether the
Board is in f_act carry:ing the whole section of if they a.re hearing, according to
the rules, a specific r_equest on the appeal of just thc Public Works: Director`s
interpretation. D1r. Sobieciz asked if Mr. Drigans wanted this opinion before the
Board considered this requcst. Chai.rman Drigans said he felt the Board could
proceed wii�h what: zt kno�vs it can act on and if the atL-orney feels that subdivision
2 should be part oi the hearing, the �oard can act oaZ that at a later date.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked about the differences in the Code sections c�uoted. Chairman
� llrigans said the prob.lem here is that the section has been renumbered and the
section previou>ly was numbered as 45.182. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if the language
was identical in both the old ancl new Code. Mr. Hac�gerty said that it was.

The Pdinute:=, of the I3oard of I�ppcals Subrommittee Meeting of 1lpril 15, 1975
Chairman lirigans said his own interp.retat:ion is that �he public hearing �3nd the
oriyiiial request in the mc�n�o, requested that� i�he I3oard is to hear that �?o.rtion
on subdivision 1 anly,.and if tliat is the Civy At.torney's inter�retation too - fine,
if not, the Board can hear the hardshi.p po.rtion l.ater.
There was a lorig di.scussion on whether the i3oard should.conside� both subdiviszons
or just suvdivzsion 1. It was agreed to defer i:his decision until later on in the
meeting.
Mr.. Hagg�rty stated in answer to the reasons fo.r denial, that he could not see the
' argtunents in the second and third reasons. He saicl Yie �oould have to argue that the
seconcl reason does not apply as far as incr�asing the interior of the building for
the non-conforming use. He said the kitchen area will be put in there but the
� additian of inere storage area does not increase the use. He said in the forth
reaso�z, it is indicated that there will be an additional burden on the neighborhood
because of the seating capacity, He said the remodeling will in fact cut down the
� seating capacit:y, He said the remodeling will involve quite a bit of investment
whic�l �vil� be upgrading thc. premises to serve h�rd 1i�uor. fie said they have �ound
a higher c'lass of clientele at an establ�shment serving har_d liquor. He said they
' are tryinq to improve thei.r services. Mr. Haggerty said in the Zoninq Code under
uses excluded for C-1, it doesn't state anything abou� hard liquor,just taverns
and beer gardens. He said at one i�iT.ie there was hard lic�uor served at this facilitye

A4r. Hagqerty said he woul.d like to relate a few Supreme Court decisions ta the
Board on non-conforming uses, and he added that they are from out of state as
Minnesota hasn°t ruled on many of these at the presen� time. Mr. Haggerty went over
the 1967 case of Mueller vs City o� Phoenix and the Board had a cop y of the
findinc3s in this case to follow. �Sr. Haggerty then went through the 1968 case of
Gauthier vs Vil.lage of Larchmont, New York, and then he went over the 1944 case of
ConnecLicut S��ate vs Rowland, and then the 1969 case of Sevilla vs Swea�L (Arizona
case�. The Board had capies of th.e findings on these cases to follow also. Mr.
Haggerty al.so hraught up the 1957 Minnesota case of Haw}�ins vs Talbot which involved
t_he enZargement of a non�-conforming gravel pit, The Board also had a copy of the
:indings in this case to follow,
'�s. fIaggerty saici they are arguing that uncier the exi_si�ing law, based on the present
iion-conf_orming use tllat has been iri existance for 20 years and nobody has mentioned
before, and after a.li the investments and improv�mentsr that they feel the courts
would uphold, tYiey are reque��ti_ng a motion be made reversing the Public Works
Director`s interpret.ation, that would make t�his a lec�al non-conforming use.
Mr. Sob.iech said h� would like to inte.rject thaL it had been mentioned at the
public heari_nq mceting that part of the stor_age addition would be also used as a
c7ame roan� �ohicli wou]_d allow izz�ox.ic:at:ing liquo.rs ta b� consumed in, which �eould
be beyond th� existing �irea used no�v. i�e said as far as the kiichen, this is one
of thG requirc:ments for c�etti�zg a liquor license so the prop�sed kitchen is necessary.
He addcd tliat once t.liis op�ration went irom serving hard liquor to serving only 3.2
beer, it was l.ess of a non-con�orming use, znd should not thez� be allowed to expand
without being b.rought into conformance. He said he feels this facility could
cont�inue at the si�e it is no�v, but should not be expanded as a non-conforming use.
Mr, liac�gerty quoted from the P•iinnesota case, Hawkins vs Talbot, t.lieir interpretaL-ion
of a non-confoz�ming use as being the ].awful use of any l.and or building existing at
the t-.ime of takin� effect af tlie ordinance may be continued although such use does
not conform to the requlations providecl uy i;his ordinance for the district in which

of people going into it, and also increase the parking. fIe said P1Lr. Povlitzki
has invested to much into his operation to pull out of it now.
Nix's, t^lahlberg sai.d she didri't feel Lh�
extenc�ir�g a non-conf_ox-ming use. She s
better to have the applicant request �.

an attempt to expediate matters, tYiey
cases cited encouiaged hez to approve
aid she �aondered wheth�r it wouldn't be
rezoni.ng on the property to bring it into
e also in the process of rezoning, but in
are going �through both procedures.
Mr. Crowder said he fe1tF that because the Board is an extension of the City
Administration, and because there is a memorandi��n from �he City Attorney that
agrees with the Public WorYs Director's inter.pretation for all practical purposes,
that he would have io uphold the Public Works Director`s iz�terpretation. Mr.
Crowder said it sounds to him like tlze Boar�i is getta.ny involved in a 1ega1
dispute because of the cases that werc. sit�d, and he .felt he c�idn't have enough
knowledge in this area to make a decision. He said he would have to agree �oith
the Public Works Director in terms of making any type of motion� be it on
subdivision 1 or 2.
Mr. Haggerty said he had never seen the memorandum tallced about from the City
Attorr.ey and Mr. Sobiech gave him a copy oL'it. Chairman Drigans asked fihe
Board to mark the memorandum addressed to the Director of Puhlic Works from
the City Attorney and dated April 2, 1975 as Exhibit 12, and to mark the building
plan as ExhibiL 13.
Nlr. Floyd Gusi:afsori, of Gustafson Gr_inding, said he and his brother own the
property across the street and they liave a prob7�em with the customers of the
' �'rontic�r Club throwing beer bottles on their property and parl�ing their cars
on his lot, especially on weekei�ds. He said someone had broken a windshield
on his property and he had to cJ..ean it up. He said tnis creates a hardship on
� him. He sa.id he ilas zlot.hing against the drinking, Uut he would like some relief
on the cleani_na up after_ the Frontier C�ub clientele.

Mr. Ii ;c�gert.� s�id that Mr. Povlitr}:i is

there may be some legal problem as far as officially notifying adjoininq residents

Mr,s. Watilberg stated sl�.e woula a�ree to act on the appeal for subdivision.l but not
subaivision 2. She said if the T,oard was to approve a variance on subdivision 2,
they could be givinc� a blanket vuriance of this bui.ldirig site wt�i.ch might preclude

is to request a rezoning and ii that fails, then the applicant would have a definite
hardship appea:L.
� Chairman Drigans said his own thoughts are that he �eels that when the Board
considers the non-conforming use in this situationY that the consideration not be
with the improvements to the structure or the equipr,lent, nor should it deal with
, the nuinber of patrons be i.t 1 or 300, but it should consider the non-conforrling
use of set-ups and the current 3.2 operation that is rendering a aer.tain dec�ree
of restaur�nt service (sandwich variety) e�panding to a restauran� which would be
' dispensing hard liquor and Prepared menu meal.so He sa�_d that is how ne is looking
at it anc3 he felt t'�e avenue to follow, if the Board allows a non-conforming use
in this situation, is to give its interpretatior of the Zoning Aclministrators

MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the rnotion carried.
Mrs. Wahlberg said she would like to re-emphasize what she feels the Board`s
obligation is, and that is to act in such.a manner so as not to extend a non-
confornting t�se beyond what is existinc�. She said this non--conforrning use has
been �xisting since 1957 and thc� Ci�y Coae c.learly si�a�es that a non-conforming
use should not be extended and this is one af the Boa.rd°s responsibilities to
uphold. She said most respected courts have upheld the procedure of getting ric3
of non-conforming uses. She said she felt the proper proc�dure would be to request
a rezoning as opposed to requesting variances from the Board of Appeals.

Mr. Haggerty said tha� for the record, he �ooulcl 'now request the �oard to consider
the appcal under Section 205.1�32, subdivision 2. He said he dici not feel his
client should be penalized because of miswor.ding in the public hearing notice.
Iie said he still felt that he should be able to present his case under this

Chairman Drigans stated L-hat his interpretati.on of Mr. Smith's request, per

determi�iation of tlle 7oning Aclministrator and that he is not asking for a variance.
Mr. Iiaggerty asked if the I�oard is �hen denying his request to have it considered
under suk�aivision 2. Chairman llrigans said that avenue of appeal is sti11_ open but

Mr. Cro`oder said he was under the opinion that the 13oard of Appeals would hear
the appeal under subdivision 2 as a las�t resort. He said as far as he could see,
all av�nues have not been approached, and he telt the applicant would have a gaod
case for a requ�st for rezoniny. He said he felt this should be tabled until the
Board finds out if there is a variance tliat can be applied for.
Mrs. Plahlberg said that,possibly to hel� the Board, a.request should be made to
the City I�ttorney for an interpretation of r�ir. Smith's request regarding which
part, or if both pa?-ts, of S�ction 205.182 caere to be consid�red hy the Board.
Mr. Crowder said the Board has opened and closed the public hearing and made a
motion pursuant to sul�division �, and he added that while he agrees with what is
being said relative to subdivision 2, the Board could open a publi.c hearing and
then table any discussion relative to subdivision 2 until. the .rezoning request
is acted upon, and until the City Attorney lias ruled on what subdivisioxzs the
Board should act on, rather than making the petit:ione.r. come bac)c with a brand
new petition. He said i.f the rezoning request goes througYi, then this v�ould be
irrelavent.
Mr. Plemel stated he felt the Board had accomplished what they were supposed to
act on.

I have been advised that Mr. Povl.itzki, through his
attorney, requested that the board of appeals not onl.y.consider
whether the zoning administrator had ruled properly on the
question of an extension of the nonconforming use, but al.so
asked for a variance to autharize the issuance of an on-sale
liquor license. Xou have asked me whether �he t�c�ard. of a.pp�als
has authority �o grant such a variance.
Minnesota Statutes 462.357, Subdiviszon 6, states in
part as follows: �
"The board of appeals and adjustments or the
governing body as the case may be, may not �
permit as a variance any use that is not
permitted under the ordinance for property
in the zons where the affected person`s Iand
is located."
Based on the above restriction, I would be of the
opinion that the board of appeals could not grant a variance
to permit the issuance of an on-sale liquor license if that
use was not a permitted use within the zoning classification
of the applicant's property. Therefore, I would conclude that
the appZicant sti12 has two alternatives: (1) that the city
council overrule the determination made by the zoning adminis-
trator and the board of appeals; and (2) that the property be
rezoned.

The City of Fridley.is in receipt of your memorandum of Ntarch 19,
1975 directed to the Zoning Administrator. It has been determined
by tMe City Attorney that tne Public Works Director is the Zoning
Administrator, therefore, the request for a determination that a
nor�-conforming use exists "as a tavern, beer garden or bar serving
alcoholic beverages on the premises" af tne referenced property has
been referred to me.
� � , �i
After a substantial review of the City of Fridley Zoning Code and
other related chapters of the City Code, together with review of
pertinent state laws, the request on behalf of ��Ir. and Mrs. Povli:tzki.
for a finding that they are entitled to a liquor license an G1 pro-
perty through an existing non-conforming use is denied. The reasans
for denial are as follows:
1. That the manner of operat-ion of the non-conforming use would be
substantially changed by permitting the conversion of a 3.2 and
set-up operation to an aper�tion having an on-sale liquor license.
That while both 3.2 beer and hard liquor are classified as
alcoholic beverages, the former is classified as a nonintaxicating
beverage and the latter as an intoxicating beverage, and that both
the municipality and the legislature have made substantial dis-
tinctions betweenthe sale of the two commodities.
2. That the requested application for an on-sale liquor license
contemplates an increase in the size of the non-conforming use.
Whi1e it is true that the exterior of the building would not be
enlarged, it is likewise true that a larger proportion of the
building would be used for the non-conforming use, and that con-
versely, a smaller portion of the building would be used for
conforming uses.

' Mr. W. Smi th
That the granting of an an-sale liquor license ��ould cause a per-
,petuatian of a non-conforming use. The intent of the�zoning
ordinance is to allow non-conforming uses to�continue for a
reasonable period of time so as not to invoke a hardship on the
owner of an existing nan-conforroing use at the time the zoning
restric�ion was enacted. However, it is also the objective of

with such a license, he would be able to attract more business

As further requested by the memorandu�r the above decision will be

Appeals at their regularly scheduied meeting af April 15, 1975.
I would like to emphasize that the zoning problem is not a part
of an evasive tactic to deny and delay an issuance of a liquor
license. It is a real problem that exists and should be correc�ed
through procedures prov�ded in the City Code.
If there are any questions regarding the above disGUSSion, please
call.

MEMORANDUM
To: :Ri.chard Sobiech, Director of Pulilic Works
)
From: Virgil C. Herrick, City Attorney l,j,,, ��
Re: Frontier Club
Date: Api�i1 2, 1975
Based on our recent conversation, you have advised me that you
intend to make a finding that the issuance of an on-sale liquor license
is not compatible with properties zoned C-I and that it is not a reasonable
extension of a nonconforming use to permit a change from the sale of 3.2
beer and setups to the sale of alcoholic beverages.
' I would suggest that in your communication to the �'.torney for
the applicant you indicate that his request on behalf of M-r, and Mrs.
Povlitzki for a finding from the zoning administrator. that they are
entitl.ed to a liquor license on C-1 property through an existing noncon-
' forming use is denied. I would further suggest you list as reasons for
the denial the following.
1
�
�J
'
'
'
'
L1
'
1. That the manner of operation of the nonconforming use
would be substantially changed by permitting the conversion
of a 3.2 and setup operation to an operation having an
on-sale liquor license. That while both 3.2 beer and
hard liquor are classified as alcoholic beverages, the
former is classified as a nonintoxicating beverage and
the latter as an intoxicating beverage, and that both
the municipality and the legislature have made substantial
distinctions between the sale of the twa commodities.
2. That the requested application forAan on-sale liquor
license contemplates an increase in the size of the
nonconforming use. While it is true that the exteriar
of the building would not be enlarged, it it likewise
true that a larger proportion of the building would b�
used for the nonconforming use, and that conversely,
a smaller portion of the building would be used for
conforming uses.
3. That the granting of an on-sale liquor Iicense would
cause a perpetuation of a nonconforming use. The
intent of the zoning ordinance is to allow nonconform-
ing uses to continue for a reasonable period of time
so as not to invoke a hardship on the owner of an
existing nonconforming use at the time the zoning
restriction is enacted. However, it is also the
objective of zoning ordinances to eliminate noncon-
forming uses within a reasonable time. A granting
of an on-sale license to this applicant would not
be consistent with that objective.
y r •
. �' � . . � � . .
� ` � � .. . . � . � . .� .
I -2-
� .
4. That gra�ting oi an on-sale license would produce a
' greater burden on the neighborhood. The applicant in
requesting the on-sale license indicated that one of
the reasons for the request was that with such a
license, he would be ab2e to attract more business
� to the location. If this is correct, it would produce
a greater burden on the neighborhood than is existing
under the present nonconforming use.
� 'You may also have some adc3itional items that you wish to enumerate.
Before actually sending the communication to the attorney for the applicants,
' I would appreciate it if you would contact me so that I might review the .
final document.

Status of Bus Sheltcr Installations
Please see the attached map indicatin� bus shelter
locations which consi.st of the f:ollowing:
4 existing shelters
3 scheduled for construction in 1975
6 requested future installations
2 suggesteci parlc and ric�e sites
� The above noted bus she7_ter locations are those requested by
;' residents as appropriate locations w}iich would benefit the
particular area. All reauests are foxwar�e� to the Metro-
i politan Transit Commission who in turn ma.ke a survey of the
' Iocation to ensure thatasufficient amoun� of ric��rship would
use the faciJ_ity.
' The existing bus shelters have b�en. installed with the coo�era-
tion bettaeen ihe N1TC and the City. The City's share of
these facilities has ainounted to constructien of the slab
($:s50 each) with installation of the structure by the MTC
' � (approximately $2700).
Cost sharing is simil.ar for those scheduled for installation
' in 1975. This arra.ngement has worked out fa.ixly well in the
past and we �,ri]_1 work to cor.tinue this type of installation
agreem,ent in tlie future.
The bus shelter faciliti.es }iave been received well by the
residents and it is hoped we could continue to provide this
service in the iuture and oii the same cooperative basis that
has been used in the pas�t. If the reaucsted installations
�rould be constl:ucted ii �aould resul* in the cost of $2100
($350 for the slah work with tl�e MTC still providing the
structure).

Rice Creek �h'atershed District

White Bear Lake, Minnesota 55110
Gentlemen:
The City Council o� Fri.dley adopted the enclosed
resolution at tlzeir reg�lar Council I�Zeeting of April 21,
1975. .
It is the intent of the City Council to concur with the
overall concept for management of the Rice Creek Water-
shed District. Particular note was made that certain
improvement; projects were recommexlded in i;he plan which
affected Fridley. We are hoping the proposed improve-
ments could be initiated as s�on as possible so further
creek da.mage could be eliminated.
It should be further pointed out that tl�e recommended
projects be admznistered and lunded by the Watershed
District th.rough autY�ority �ro�ided in Minnesota Statutes
Chapter 112.
We want to tha.nk you for the opportunity to review the
overall plan and comment regarding its effect upon the
City of Fridley.
NMQ/ms

Yours very truly,
Nasim M. Rureshi
City Manager

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION
Honorable �Villiam H. Nee
Alayor of Fridley
Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Dear Mayor Nee:
WASHINGTON, U.C. 20590
APr? 1 6 ?975
The Department of Transportation has been vitally concerned with the
problems of transportation noise and the means by which they may be
mitigated. We have been apprised of the unique arrangements which your
city has made with the Burlington Northern in the design and construction
of their new Northtown classification yard. We are impressed by the
steps taken to reach mutually satisfactory noise provisions for the yard.
We are hopeful that o�her cities and other railroads will be able to
reach similar accommodations.
' To facilitate this possibility, the Department of Transportation is
presently negotiating with the Burlington Northern to permit us to make
tests of the effectiveness of the Northtown noise barriers as erected
and variations thereto.
'
'
'
�11
,
Upon completion of the test, a full report will be prepared and widely
disseminated to the public and other railroads. We envision the report
to encompass the technical details of the barrier construction, their
noise attenuation performance, and the arrangements between the railroad
and adjacent political jurisdictions which prompted the installation of
the barriers and the other noise reduction equipment.
I am �ariting today to confirm our telephone conversation of April 15, to
apprise you of our plans and to seek your cooperation in the test program
to achieve a true evaluation of the beneficial effects of the barriers
which have been erected by the Burlington Northern. We will need to
operate test cars through group retarder number 3 in a controlled series
of runs to properly evaluate the benefits being yielded by the barriers.
Tests u�ould be run only during daylight hours and cvould be short in
' duration, 15 minutes of noisy operations two to three times per day over
a two-three week period. We expect to cammence testing by the end of
T4ay and in no event w�uld the testing �o beyond July l. Some tests would
be run with the barriers do�vn and with lo�oer barriers than are now in
' place on retarder number 3. Other tests would be conducted with longer
and higher barxiers on the test retarder.

' Because of the non-standard conditions required for the tests, it is
probable that the noise levels generated by the test cars on retarder
number 3 will be higher than are presently being generated. It is
possible, therefore, that the tests would generate higher noise levels
than are specified in the current Fridley noise provisions. We cannot
determine a priori that such exceedances will be evident to the residents,
but at the same time we cannot be fully assured that such wi11 not occur.
In order to insure the acquisition of the needed data and the subse�uent
adoption of this technology in other locations experiencing re-�arder yard
noise problems, we seek your endorsement of the tests and cooperation
with us in conveying the technical and socio-political findings to others.
The benefits that may derive for other railroad neighbors warrant the
small inconvenience which may be experienced by your constztuents and
we therefore seek your assistance to facilitate these tests.
We would be willing to work with you in publicizing the program Iocally
to insure public understanding and to gain acceptance of the tests. We
would also want to document the municipal participation in the original
accommodation process and in the testing to demonstrate the feasibility
of reaching accommodation on excessive noise generated by othex retarder
yards across the country.
We sincerely hope that your progressive outlook on the problems of making
transportation compatible with community expectations will permit you to
endorse the tests outlined above.
Sincerely,
,f

FROM: MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ASST. CITY MGR./FIN. DIR.
SUBJECT: REQUEST OF JAP9ES GEORGE - TRI-CC). BUILDERS, INC.
FOR REDUCTION OF SPECIAL ASSESS�IENTS ON
LOTS 33, 34, 35, AND 36, BLOCK A, RIVERVIEW
HEIGHTS ADDITION
DATE: APRIL 18, 1975
Mr. George is asking for a reduction of the spec�al
assessments on the lots in question. His reasoning
is that he was not allowed to build on a fifty foot
lot. He is combining four, twenty-five foot lots
to make one building site.
When the sewer and water latera� assessments were
levied in this area, part of the cost was distributed
on a building site basis. There are a total of two
building site. charges assessed against the four,
twenty-five foot lots in question. The original
assessment for on�'building site was $561.55. After
the 1975 taxes are paid, there 4v�11 be a balance of
$348.52 per building site. There will be $94.8Q on
the 1975 taxes for Qn� building site charge.
The Council recently granted a similar type request
to another property owner in the same general area,
As far as I know, that was one of the first requests
of such type granted in the City.
