He asked if the � Co.uncil would pass a resolution�irecting the consideration of this item in the budget c for 1976. Mr. Sporre suggested that the tennis courts be constructed in Ruth.Circle. ` Mr. Sporre continued to corrment that there are no tennis courts in the north part of � Fridley. He explained that the East River Road would restrict young people from � 'traveling back and forth from a tennis court on the other side of the road and he suggested that both sites be considered if at all possible. He mentioned that there is a t juvenile problem at the Fridley Grocery store. F±e again suggested that a tennis court be � located in Ruth Circle and said the children in the area are not allowed to cross East . River Road. Mr. 5porre said he recently had to go to Coon Rapids for a tennis facility � and when he got there, there were so many people waiting it was not possib1e to use � the courts. . � � MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to receive Petition No. 11A-1975 requesting installation of tennis courts in Ruth Circle and Petition No. 11B-1975 requesting installation of tennis courts in River View Heights.

Councilman Fitzpatrick said at the previous Thursday conference meeting the Council had directed the Administration to bring it to the attention of the Park Department that more tennis courts should be constructed in Fridley in general and particulary in this area. Mr. Sporre asked if it would be possible for the Council to adopt a resolution to the Parks and Recreation Comnission asking them to consider this request in their budget. Ne added, Mr. Brown would like some Council direction on the matter. , __ - -- -- --- --- ___ _-- — � ---- _ ____--- � � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 203 PAGE 3 ' Mayor Ptee questioned if this would be necessary since there is a great deal of support for the construction of tennis courts in the Ruth Circle area and he assumed this would be done. �I � �� CI t � � L�J �! � � �, � ' � , Mayor Nee questioned if the Ruth.Circle location would be satisfaciory to the people in the Riverview Heights area. t�1r. Sporre said P1r. Brown had said that this was not in the budget and he would need some direction to place this in the budget. Mayor Nee said he did not know what the cost of sucn a tennis court would be. He said there had been � a master plan and he ihought that this tennis court was included. P�9ayor P�ee said this request would take about a a�eek to process. Mr. Carl Paulson, 430 5th Place N. E., asked if the City could put a hold on property so that someone else could not buy it. Mrs. Edwin Girard, 680 Glencoe, addressed the Council and said the City had received a parcel of property as a donation to be used as a playground for children and this had not been developed. She mentioned the larger children use tye aera to play baseball and the smaller children are not allowed to play in the area. Mrs. Girard said she thought the older children could go to Kennedy Park. She mentioned there should be some place for the younger children up to ten or eieven to play. -She said that the Park on 6lencoe has a rough skating rink in the wintier and the small children cannot'use the area in the summer. • Mrs. Girard said there is quite a bit of building of new homes in the area and this would increase the need for a park in the area. She said at the present time, there is no place for the younger children to piay except tiie streei. Mrs. Girard.requested that some equipment such as a swing or slide be •piaced in the park. She mentioned other areas of the City have parks which are developed and she thought it was about time that some attention was given to this part of the City. Mr. Alex Barna, 560 Hugo Street addressed the Council and said there is a tot lot on Hugo and Eroad and there are more children playing in his yard than in the tot lot. He mentioned that there are quite a few large parcels of property in the flood plain zoning and people would be having trouble building on them. fie questioned if the City _ wou7d be abbe to purchase some property within this area. Councilman areider said he understood that the City owns quite a large amount of property on 79th. Mayor Plee said yes, the City is trying to get together a piece , of property large enough to do something with. Mr. Barna said the best thing would be to get some property on cly within the 70 year , flood rate. He said he would like to see the City put in some ten�is courts. Mr. Barna mentioned that there �s a problem in the area with no place for the chiidren to play. Ne said a boy ran into East P.iver Road and was hit �y a car recently.. , � Mr. Barna said that there is a r�eed for a stop signal on 79th and questioned if this is being planned, or could �he community pressure the County into proceeding with this installation. He mentioned there is a need for a stop light in front of the Fridley food market. He said it is not possible to gain access to East River Road and many times it takes up to five minutes to gain access. The City Manager said there is an overall plan for traffic controls for this area with the signal at 79th included. He said this�would have to be appropr�ated in the City budget for one half of the costs and the Council aaould have to decide avhich matters are higher priority. f1e mentioned the total cost of the signalization to be in the � area of $45,Q00 to $50,000. The City P1anager said the City had been in contact with the County on this, and the response 4�as not very favorable. . Mayor Nee said the best thing to do would be to talk to three County Commissioners. Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton Street, said she had called and talked to the County Engineer some time ago. She explained that the Engineering Department was able to � furnish data on the count of the traffic in the area, but did not have any information concerning the accident rate. She further explained that the County had indicated that they receive this information from the City. Mr. Ken Sporre said the plan for the signal at 79th is in the 6ikeway Plan. P�tayor hlee sdid the plan for the signal at 79th is in all of the City plans. He said it was hard for him to believe that the County does not know about the City's intent. The City Manager said th� County Commissioners also represent the people. i� 204 ' REGULAR COUPlCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 PAGE 4 Mrs. Sporre said she thought it would be best if a resolution adopted by the Fridley City Council were hand carried to the County. Mayor hee commented that it would be best if it were backed up with 500 signatures. hirs. Sporre said if the Council would pass a resolution, she would get the signatures. Mayor Nee asked that the City be given two weeks on the matter. ADOPTION OF AGENDA: Councilwoman Kukowski said she would like to add a communication from the Public YJorks Department concerning a tour of the Municipal�gararye and also discuss rescheduling the June conference meeting. Mayor Nee said the item concerning.the storm sewer escrow in Rice Creek Estates would also be added. MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt the agenda with the previously mentioned additions. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, P1ayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATI ,V OF SECO"!D REA�IPJG OF AN ORDI�IA"dCE ESTASLISHING CHAPTER^113,^REFUSErDiSPOSAL Mayor Piee said the administration would make some comment about the amendments in the proposed ordinance. He mentioned that there were representatives from the hauling firms present and asked if any of them woul� like to comment. Mr. Rodney Kaga°�Manager of All State Disposal, addressed the Council and referred to Section 113.02 Containers and asked that rather than limit the size to 30 gallons, cou1d this be changed to 45 gallons. He said thiswould still eliminate the use of the 55 gallon burninq barrels. Mayor Nee asked if this change could be made. Mr. Kag� asked if the plastic containers would meet the spEr �ications within the ordinance. Mayor "lee said this would be allowed if the ordinance would read "such as galvanized metal or plastic containers and should not exceed 45 gallons". ' Council��oman Kukovaski asked if the plastic containers would melt. Mr. Kaga°said they melt and rodents could chew through them. He said they also break up in the winter months. Councilwoman Kukowski said she did not think the City•wbuld want to add the use of the plastic containers. h1r. Kage said many people have them. He said if someone �vould consult him, he advises them that the, galvanized metal would be better. He said that the plastic containers shatter very easily. P1r. Kagerexplained some are�•better than others. Fle said the type with the .flip up lid break easily in the winter time. The City Attorney mentioned it may be added that the plastic would be allowed for a period of one year, and then no longer allo�ved. Mr. Kag�"asked how this requirement would be enforced. Cour,cilman Breider asked if the other communities have banned the use of the plastic containers. Mr. Kage°said no. Councilman Breider questioned how the people could be refused. He thought this would be very difficult to do. P�ayor Nee indicated that the ordinance would not really say the metal containers are mandatory. �He quoted the section and read, "such as galvanized metal containers". He said if the limit was placed at 45 gallons, this would rule out the use of oi1 barrels. Mr. Kager agreed. . Mr. Kag�'went.on to section 113.06 and indicated the "Anoka County" should be stricken and "MPCA" added in its place. Mr. Kager'referred the Council's atte�ti.on to Section 113.07 Defective Containers. He " questioned the portion of the ordinance where the hauler is to notify the City of Fridley concerning defective containers. He asked if .the last sentence in this oortion could �' be deleted. He explained that the owne.r of the defective container could be notified ; with a copy of the notification going to the Ci�y> but he objected to the inclusion of the ' hauler not taking the contents of the defective containers. He thought the haulers would ! loose customers.by doing this. . Councilman Breider asked if most people correct his situation. Mr. Kage�said they do have a lot of• people with this type of problem. He said if the container is defective . � the hauler will throw it away. Mayor Tlee said he believed if this was working, it should be � left out. �r. Kage said if the hauler knocks on the door and tells the owner that th2 can is defective, they usually purchase a new one. . The City Manager said copies of the proposed ordinance had been sent to the haulers for their comments. H e mentioned that the administration had hoped that these comments would have been obtained befo're the current meeting so that the amended ordinance could , have been presented for adoption. He said the Administratio�had not received arN comments from the public. � ' � i IJ � � �� L' � RFGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 PAGE 5 'L05 Mr. Kagerreferred to Section 113.10, Refuse Haulers Regulations, and questioned if the haulers would have to purchase a separate type of iicense for each of the catagories listed. Mayor Nee questioned why there is a need for ali the different types of classes. He thought that this question had been asked before, but he could not remember a justified answer being given. The City Manager called on the Public Works Director to explain this statement. The Public Works Director said this would allow the City to have a list of the types of service that is avdilable to the residents in the City office. He said they would be able to determirr�who is dealing with the corru�nercial and residential haulinq, etc. Mayor Nee questioned if it would mean that the hauler would have to purchase more than one license. The City Manager said the fee would be the same for additional catagories. Mr. Kaga°asked if for one fee, the hau]er could have all•the types of the licenses and the City Manager said yes. Mr. Kageralso referred to Subdivision 8 of Section 113.70 and requested that the haulers be allowed to operate a spare vehicle in the City for a period of three days without notice to the City. He said if there would be a break down on the licensed truck, they would have to put another truck on the route. He said this would mean a hassle if they were tagged immediately. He mentioned if the spare vehicle would be used more than three days, they would noiify the City. Councilman S�arwalt said he was surprised that all of the haulers vehicles would not ' be licensed for operation in the City. Mr. Kage,explained that they wouldlike to•keep j as few as possible vehicles licensed in the City of Fridley: He stated the haulers do not.7icense all of their"vehicles in all of the communities of operation, if only one can handle the fridley route, oniy_ 4ne� would be licensed in the City. The same truck would be used in the City for five days. Counci]man Starwalt said if the City would allow this provision, it would make it possible for the haulers to use thisfree truck. Mr. Kage^said he did not want a blanket free truck, he would only like to be able to use a spare truck for the period of three days. ' Councilman Starwalt questioned the operator trying to operate with too small a number of vehicles. Councilman Starwalt said if an operator had ten vehicles operating, ' it may take eleven or twelve to keep the operation going. Mr. Kagx asked if the haulers � had licenses to operate in 16 communities, would he suggest that tne trucks be licensed ' in all 16 communities? Councilman Starwalt said what he was suggesting is that every vehicle on the road would be licensed to be there. Ne asked how this would be enforced. He said if the truck was on the road who would know that this is within a period of three ' days. Mr. Kagersaid the haulers are not out to take the City, they would notify them ' if this was to be over a period of three days. Mayor Nee asked if it would be possible for the hauler to notify the City on the first day. Mr. Kage^said when tne route �egins at b:00 A.M., the.last thing the operator is thinking about doing is notifying the City at this time in the morning. He said notification may be possible later in the day, � but it would be possible for the truck to be ticketed by then. Councilman Breider asked why the haulers could not call on,the first day. He explained the concern of the City to be that the truck being used in the City are sound and not leaking all over the streets. He �id this would be-the primary interest of the City. MayorNee said if the haulers would be aliowed this three day period, they could operate for a month and when asked, they could say that it had only been three days. Mr. Kage� said it would be possible to notify the City on the first day, he just did not want this to have to be done the first thing in the morning. P�layor Nee said the ordinance could be amended to aliow u.p to three days operation of a truck without a license, but the hauler would be required to notify the City on the first day of operation of the unlicensed truck. i � � Mr. Kage-referred to Section 113.10, Subdivision 13, Cancellation of Service, and said in this provision the hauler is again the "bad guy". He suggested the last sentence be changed to read, "When the collector determines that an account is uncollectable, notification will be sent to the City of Fridley". Mayor Nee asked if the deletion of the last sentance would be in order. He questioned the City becoming involved in the financial aspects of the operation. 7he Pubiic Works Director explained that this provision was included to enable the City to be notified in the case that there may be a health hazard. The City Attorney said it would not be a concern of theCity if the operator cuts off the service. He said he would not see where thepayment of the bills would be the City's concern. Mayor Nee asked if rath�r than sending a notice to the City, the people could be allowed a month's grace period. Mr. Kager said or, when the coTlector would turn the bill over to the bi71 collector. He said all of the haulers notify the customer when the bi)1 becomes.delinquent, it would be his concern that the hauler would have to notify the City. Councilman Breider questioned if he v�as requesting that after the hauler would decide that the bill was not going to be collected, that at this time he would notify the City. Mr. Kage�said yes. He explained that most of the iime when the service is cut off, the people promptly pay the bill and the service resumes He said T� 206 ;` REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 PAGE 6 they would not want to notify the City at this point. Councilman Breider said if the hauler was just trying to scare the people into paying the bill, the City would not be notified. The City Attorney said he felt the Administration and the haulers could work out this section. Mayor Nee asked if therotification could be sent to the City ' 15 days after the cancellation of the service. The City Manager said the City should note all of the comments from the haulers and meet with them to work this out. Counci7woman Kukowski asked if the amendment would be something like the following: "When any collector would determine that an account is uncollectable, notice will� be served with the customer and the City of Fridley". Mr. Kag� referred to Section 113.08, Placing of Containers, he questioned if the cans could be placed on the rear setback line, the side yard and not out in front of the house more than 24 hours. He questioned by all the provisions how the haulers could tell the people where to put their refuse. He said he would liE:e the refuse placed in front of the garage.or on�the curb. Councilman Breider said he believed the intent of the. Section is to allow placement in front of the garage. The Public Works Director said this . would be at the normal setback line or approxima �ly a distance of 35 feet from the property line. The City Manager said refuse can be placed on the curb> but not garbage, and this would be only for the period of 24 hours. He said the garbage can be placed in the front of the garage or on the side of the garage, or in the garage if'it is possible for the hauler to gain access to the garage. The Public Works Director said it would be allowable to place the containers in front of the garage, but not in the frontyard. � Mr. Harlan Lofgren, Lofgren Sanitation> addressedthe Council �d stated that everyone on the Council and the administration understands and reads the proposed ordinance differently. He said he would like something written that the people could read and understand. He said if thepick up can be in the front>.the service could be operated at a reduced rate. He said if the collector woul'd have to go to the rear yard, this would increase time and expenses. He said he would like this section redone so the peo�l.e in the community could understand it. Mr. Lofgren asked if the ordinance could state that no refuse be allowed on the curb except for col1ection day. He said the ordinance doesnot state where the cans should be. . The City Manager said the administration would meet with the haulers and modify the ordinance lef�re the next reading which eould be the next regular meeting. Mr. Dick Harris asked if there had been some modification in the ordinance to allow placement of compost piles. He asked if this had been taken care of. Councilman Breider said he had looked for the modification concerning ice removal and this was not included. MQTION by Councilman Breider to table the consideration of the second reading of the proposed refuse ordinance until June 16, 1975. �econded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the mot�on carried unanimously. RECEIVING REPORT ON STUDY OF TRAFFIC CONTROL MEASURES IN AREA OF BENJAMZN/61/�ERNDALE STREETS FROM MEETIPJG F MAY 19, 975 : The Public Works Director explained tht the Administration had been directed to do a comprehensive study on the traffic situation on Benjamin Street. He said four areas had been reviewed within the study. The first consideration was the accidents on 8enjamin Street between Rice Creek Road and Gardena. Second was radar surveillance for �� compilinn figures on the speed situation of the area and thirdly, traffic counts. Tfie \ fourth area of study was done on the manual for unifdrm traffic control devices. He recalled that the Council had ta:ken previous actim for p1acement of stop signs in these areas> but further action and placement of one sign (61st and Banjamin), had been delayed , � until the completion of the comprehensive study. Mr. Sobiech referred to the sectionpf the report dealing with the accidents in the area and informed the Council that there had not been an accident in the area for a three year period studied except for a recent accident of a bike rider who was injured while trying to stop for the stop sign.. He said within the report concerning the radar surveillance, 68 vehicles were monitored, with seven of these exceeding the speed limit by slight amounts. He said •it did not appear that there was a speeding problem. He next went on to theportion of the report dealing with the traffic control devices and explained that in California (Page 2-F and 2-G of the agenda) traffic controi measures were taken with the results of before and after monitored. Ne said in one case after the stop signs were installed, speeds increased because of the frustration experienced by the � ' � � ' 0 207. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 PAGE 7 motorists because of the existing stop sign. Ne said the installation`.of stop signs do not end a speeding probiem. He said if there is a speeding problem, he would recommend that � this be handled through enforcement, not installation of stop signs. He recommended that, Benjaimin from Gardena to Rice Creek Road be signed as a through street. He said the existing stop signs on Benjamin and Briardale Road should be removed. The City Manager explained in some cases, stop signs increase traffic problems rather than stop them. He said he would recommend that additional speed limit signs be posted. The City Manager quest9oned the placement of a stop sign on the steep hill and indicated this would cause problems where people would not be able to stop or make it up the hill in the winter months. The City Manager continaed to explain he recommended that this area ' would be piaced on the priority list for a specia7 service area for Police enforcement and monitoring of probiems. He said he would also encourage anyone in the area who observes any violations to call the Police so that those in violation could be apprehended. He thought these recommendations would better control the traffic of the area than the placement of additional stop signs. The City P1anager stated the City might be in the position of having liability suits due to the placement of unwarranted stop signs. Councilman Starwaltsaid these were good points expressed by the Administration. He noted that the people who live on these streets are convinced that there are violators and ' they are no' being caught. He asked what the difference would be between patrolling and monitor�ng. He asked if this would mean that the violators would not be ticketed during the monitoring. The Public Works Director said this is correct. Ne said they just go into the area to determine if there is a problem. Councilman Starwlat asked if ' � it would be possible to use unmarked cars for patrolling. He said the people do not ; abuse the law when the police are present. i The City Attorney said he would be concerned about the patrolling with unmarked cars, unless the iaw had been changed. He said cars used for regular traffic patrolling must be marked cars. Mrs. Kathy Malone, 6131 Benjamin Street Pd. E.,addressed the Council and said the area residents knew that the Engineering Department was opposed to the placement of the stop signs in this area, this is why they had come io the meeiing and made this request to the Council. She mentioned that the homes on Qenjamin �vere ai1 new with most of them being built within the last year. She questioned if the report of the area for the past three years was very representative of the current situation. She questioned if the residents had to wait until one of the children of the area were hurt ard this showed up on an accident report. She mentioned tht the Public 41or.ks Director had indicated that the bike accident was attributed to the stop sign. She mentioned that it was the unmarked car using the radar that had caused the accident. She said she did not think, by any means, that the stop sign had caused the accident or injury. She said the monitoring was done during the period of ti,me when the violators were in school. This is why the study indicated that there was.no problem: Mrs. Malone said she did not think the posting of speed limit would do one thing. She indicated that the aciion proposed wou7d not be any better, in fact it would take them back to the beginning. Mrs. Lynn Gasparro, 1604 Briardale Road N. E., addressed the Council and�said she . agreed that the survey did not show the true facts. She said when the car was used for monitoring, everyone could see the car when they came over the hill and the speeding and problems did not exist. She said if the adults could see the police vehicle, surely the kids that are doing the speeding could also see the car. she claimed the violators to be Grace High School students. She.continued to comment that the peop]e of the area had told the poli.ce who the violators are and the speeding cars toot and waive at the police officers. She said nothing has been done and the poiice stop and talk to the kids, they must be friends. She questioned if the residents of the area have to be penalized. Mrs. Gaspa�ro continued to explain the problems with the increase in gasoline costs and questioned when thiswould force the violators off the streets. Mrs. Gasparro referred to the placement of additional speed limit signs and said ther e is not one in existance in the area at the present time. She also mentioned the recomnendation to be that ihe existing stop sign be removed. 5he asked how much it would cost to install the sign and said the area residents would be willing to pay for it. She mentioned if the police would start io ticket th�e violators, the money for the sign could easily be raised. She contended that the money that had been spent on 'the surveys and staff time along with the time spent by the residents of the area was making the stop sign very costly. She said she was planning on continuing to pursue the request. Mrs. Gasparro mentioned that she had two children and a dog and would not want them kilied. She again corr�nented that they want a stop sign. She questioned why the tax payers were not given what they want and continued to state thati�they are the ones that pay the Council's salaries and also who vote them in and out of office. She asked why they could not be given what they want. Mr. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson Blvd., said he resided on the.corner of Briardale Road� �� 248 � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 PAGE 8 and Stinson Boulevard and he could hear the squeal of tires from Benjamin street at his home. He asked the Council to consider that there are many young families with children in this area and with the constructionof the park facility, this would increase the usage of the area by children. He said he would recommend that the Council not remove the existing sign. Mayor Nee directed his question to the City Attorney and said he was curi�us about the remark made by the City Manager concerning reporting the violators to the Police Department. He questioned if the residents would have to sign a complaint. The City Attorney said this is true. He said the police could not sign the complaint unless they obserVe the violation. He said it would be possible for the person being charged to sue the City if the police do not witness the violation. The City Attorney said the residents would have to identify the vehicle and the time of occurrance. Mayor Nee asked if this would be an enforceable thing. The City Attorney said the residents would have to appear in court if the violator would plead not guilty or if there was conflicting testimony. Mayor Nee said the residents could not sign a complaint concerning speeding, but they could on a violation of the stop sign. Mrs. Malone mentioned that when the people stop and look at the stop sign, they also stop and see the children. She continued to comment when they are speeding down the hill> they do not look. She questioned how the children on Benjamin would be able to cross the raad to gain access to the park. She continued to explain with the cunstruction in the area, the children are forced to stand in the street to•catch the bus because they cannot stand in the mud. _ Mayor Nee asked Mrs. Malone if she felt the existing stop sign had helped the conditions in the area and Mrs. Malone said yes. She said she also felt it would be necessary to install a sign on 615t and Benjamin. Councilman Starwalt said the location is in his Ward and would be his problem. MOTION by Councilman Starwalt that the stop sign on Benjamin and Briardale Road remain because of the ultimate plans for the area and the installation of the park and the continued construction in the area and that he wouldnot recommend the installation of the other stop sign at this time. Councilman Starwalt referred to the recommendation of the City Manager in that the speed ' 1imits should be posted and the addition of a sign.that said "Caution Staep Nill° be installed. He said they could also use a"Caution Playground" sign. He also stated that there should be more patrolling. He sai� he did not understand why the police did not approach and ticket the violators. Mayor Nee said the police officer would have to see.the violation. Councilman Starwalt said a schedule should be developed where the violators would be apprehended. He said if the police officers cannot apprehend the violators, there is something wrong. Mayor Nee said the Police office would have to see the violation each time. Councilman Starwalt said the patrolling should be done in a period where there would be more success: Mrs. Malone asked Councilman Starwalt to reconsider his motion. She added the people . of the area need protection. She asked that the area be given the stop sig� and mentioned that the children are out of school all day now. Mr. Robert�Erickson, 5950 Benjamin Street, addressed the Council and asked if the number of stop signs were to be limited, he wished the Council uiould consider that the traffic also speeds by their homes on the other end of Senjamin Street. Mayor Nee asked if there was a second to the motion made by Councilman Starwalt and DECLARED THE MOTION DEAD FOR LACK OF A SECOND. Mrs. Malone said the whole thing started because there was aneed for stop signs at Briardale and also 61st. She mentioned that the people up the street also felt that a sign was needed in this area. She said the area residents agreed to wait for the installation of the sign until the completion of the study, but the signs were needed at the present time with the children out of school. • Councilman Starwalt said with the number of signs proposed, there could be one sign I on every corner. Councilman Starwalt said it would not be possible to please everyone and wt,ere would this stop. Mr. Erickson again mentioned that the remainder of Senjamin would have to he considered. Councilman Starwalt said another petition had been received in the area of Ferndale at the top of the hill. He said the staff had recommended that there be no signs in the ! whole area. � I ' ' . � � . � ' � REGULAR C�UNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 PAGE 9 � �» Councilman Starwalt said at the expense of ruining his political career, he would not offer another motion. Councilwoman Kukowski said she would not touch it. She further explained ihat the Council had been asked by three groups to put up three different signs. Councilman Starwalt said they had proposed two and one was taken out, t�layor Nee explained that the Council had taken action to install the sisn on 61st and unless this action is reconsidered or repealed, the sign would have to be installed. • MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to reconsider the insta]lation of the stop sign on 61st and Benjamin. Mayor Nee DECLAREC� THE t�10TI0N DEAD FOR LACK OF A SECOND. � ' Councilman Breider suggested that ihe Council try the sign on 61st for some time and direct the Police Department to study the area and stage the pa±rolling of the area , ina way that it will not be at the same time of day. He said the work will get out , that the area is being patrolled at random. He said he agreed G�rith the residents in that 1' thay should not have to police the area and sign complaints against violators. He again said, why can't the signs be tried r'or some time? � � � The City Manager said the sign would be installed. CONSIDERATION OF DRAINAGE PR06LE��1 AT 5950 BENJAMII�: STREET f�. E. (R03ERT ERICKSON)(FR�t? MEETING OF MAY 5, 1975 : Councilman Star�valt said he was asked to make a recommendation to the Councii. He called on the Public Works Director to make a presentation of the plans proposed. The Public Works Director explained the four proposals as follows: Alternate B-1 has a projectea cost of $20,981.25. He explaine� that this proposal would intercept runoff at the catch basin on 6enjamin and pipe it directly to o0th and Oakwood Manor and would not include any alteration of the low area. Alternate B-2 indicates a projected cost of $24,481.25. This is the same proposal ' as alternate 6-1 with the addition of lowering the pipe four feet. If future development occurs in the vicinity of the •low area, approximately 7,500 cubic yards of fill would be required to make use of the faciiity. The installation of ihe energy dissipator is the third alternative with a projected cost of $1,000. This alternative is offered with the int2nt of the City to install the energy dissipator with the necessary restoration. The fourth Alternative, Alternate F, would require easement acquisition with a ' projected'cost of $10,150.00. This plan wouid involve the installation of a pipe to the low area from the catch basin on Benjamin with the acdition of obtaining an easement for ponding purposes. It also involves remodification of the intersection at Benjamin and Gardena. t � I The City Manager said the people of the area have to be calied in if anything but the original proposa] for thSs area would be used. - . Mayor Nee askec! if there would be any overlapping of assessments the maximum amount for the area would be $8 per 100 square feet. The City Manager said Mr. Erickson said it was not clear to him who would pay for the various pians. Mayor Nee said the Cityl�rould pay for the energy dissipator from �e general funds. Ne said the other. three proposals would be assessed to i:he district. ^ir. Erickson said proposals E and D would not be acceptable to him. He said he had tried a crude energy dissipator and it did not work. Ne asked if the costs on alternate F would be shared by the people on Benjamin Street. Ne questioned if the residents of Benjamin Street would want to pay out this amount for a temporary solution. Mr. Erickson said he would like to clarify a point with Mr. StarHalt. He mentioned that Councilman Starwalt had visited with some of the residents of the area and had a copy of the petition that had been signed by those people, but attached to the petition, there was a map of the proposal for the storm sewer Mr. Erickson had suggested. He said it was the people's impression that this map hac� accompanied the petition and it had not. Councilman Starwalt explained that this is fhe way he had been presented the material from the administration and he was also under the impression that it had accompanied the petition, but it had not. Mr. Erickson questioned the method used to draw the drainage district. ttayor Nee said this is done by means of a topographical map. He said they are willing to testify that the water does drain �n the direction indicated by the district. Mr. Erickson said this matter had been discussed in the past and he did not think it would be worth the Council's time to talk about thisat the present time. He said he was present at the meeting �o see if � 210 � REGULAR COUNCIL MEEfING OF JUNE 2, 1975 PAGE 10 i �, the City was going to do something about the restoration of his property. He said he had repeatedly tried to get an answer before beginning legal action against the Ci.ty. MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to set,a public hearing to discuss the various proposals for the installation of the storm sewer in the Benjamin area for July 14, 1975. Seconded by Cou�cilwoman Kukowski. Mrs. B. L. Lillemoen, 1583 Gardena Avenue, addressed the Council and questioned what was in the various plans. Councilman Breider said this��ould be discussed at the public hearing. Mrs. Lillemoen said she would prefer the least expensive project. Mayor Nee said the least expensive project is not acceptable to Mr. Erickson. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, f�ayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERA7ION OF AN ORDINANCE GOVERNING INTOXICATING BEVERAGES AND 3.2 BEER: The City Manager explained that �e present ordinance prohibits any intoxicatirg or non intoxicating beer and liquor in City parks. He said as the Council knows, people are using it in the parks and the A��inistration felt if there is an ordinance on the books, it should comp�y with the desires of the community or it should be enforced. The City Manager exp`ained theproposal to allow the use of 3.2 beer in Locke Park v�ith a permit and in Comnons Park. He said the use of 3.2 beer would be prohibited in the small size neighborhood parks. Ne said there had been some discussion on the part of the City Council concerning thisproposal. He as',:ed direction on whether the Council would like an ordinance orepared as proposed. He thought this type of ordinance would allow the people to act legally. Councilman Fitzpatrick suggested that the Council approve the recommendation of the Parks and REcreation Department. Mayor Nee said he did not think this was the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Department. Mayor Nee said the motion on the part of the Cor�nission was to enforce the ordinance. Councilman Fitzpatrick said this is not what the CIty Manager had said. The City Manager pointed out that earlier in the discussion the members of the Commission had stated that they beli'eved that this would be a feasible change. He said the ordinance would provide the mechanics for selected activity that could be permitted. Mayor Nee said the proposal had been received by the Public Safety Director. Mayor Nee referred to the motion in the minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission and said Mrs. Shirley Caldwell had said that she would agree to this modification and voted for the motion to•enforce the law. , Mayor Nee said he would like to see 3.2 beer 6e allowed for neighborhood picnics in small parks. The City Manager•said this,could be provided with a permit from the City Council. Mr. Ken Sporre questioned the use of the smaller parks in the softball tournaments sponsored by the Jaycees. He mentioned that Commons is not large enough to accomodate the ent�re tournament so the smaller parks are used. He questioned if the proposal did not include the sma1ler parks, could this be continued. He said the way the ordinance is now, they can seli beer at a1l of them. The City Manager said this is a11 aga7nst. the current ordinances and the police are looking the other way. The City Attorney said he didnot care to say anything abo.ut it at a11. Mr. Richard Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commission addressed the Council and asked if there was some provision in the estate for Locke Park where this would not be allowed. Mayor Nee said this prohibits the use of ir�toxicating liquor, not 3.2 beer. \ Mayor Nee again said he would like to see 3.2.beer permitted in the neighborhood parks. Ne said he would like to see the ordinance brought back with this type of amendment. The City Manager said it would be possible to serve, but not seli in the other � neighborhood parks. Mayor Nee said yes. The City Manager said this would be brought back for the first reading with this type ef modification. The City Attorney said tbp person would have to submit the proper application to the City and the City Manager said yes. • ' MOTION by Councilman Breider to bring the ordinance back for first reading at the next regular meeting , June 16, 1975, with the provision that 3.2 beer will be allowed � in the neighborhoad parks upon application to the City Council for approval.

I� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2; 1975 CONSIDERATION OF A EST FOR A NEW 3UILDING LOCATED . _. .__ . .. _ . ..... ...........�i � PAGE 12 ' BLOCK•1, P TION The Public Works Director explained ±he request was to build a retail establishment on the corner of 79th and East River Road. He said this would also take some consid- eration of variances. He pointed out that the variances were discussed by the Board of Appeals on Page 7-C of the agenda. The Public Works Director listed the variance� and said the Board of Appeals had suggested that the last variance be eliminated. He said the Board of Appeals felt there should be a little more landscaning and green area and suggested that the th'ree parking stalls be eliminated. He said � the elimination of the three stalls would not cause a problem. The Public Works Director said the proposal would compare to the constructionon tFie corner of Old Central and Rice CreeK Road, but this proposal would have more landscaping and green area. He said the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee had recommended approval with a number of stipulations. He read the stipulations to the Coancil and audience. The Public Works Director referred to the letter on Page 7-K of the agenda from.the adjoining property owners Attorney Mr. Richard J. Fudali represent.ing Five Sands Development. He said all of the concerns listed by the adjoining 'property owner had been worked out. The Public Works Director pointed out an additional item that had been discussed by the staff to be the acguisition of an easement for the'proposed signalization of 79th and East River Road. He said NSP has an easement in the proposed area and they were contacted and said there should be no difficulty with the mutual easement. He thotight this could be wor.ked out with the property owner and said it would not run the entire length of the property. The Public Works Director indicated that Mr. Dave Nordale was present representing Meridian. Mr. Ken Sporre asked if the entrance proposed for East River Road would be needed. He questioned why the entrance on 79th would not be sufficient and mentioned that there is a problem in gaining access to East River Road at the present time. He suggested that this driveway be eliminated and a stop signal be installed. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked what the time table would be for the installation of the signal on 79th. The City Manager said it is not in the budget for 1975. Even it it was in the budget, the County would also have to okay this in their budget. He said this would be one or two years at least. Mr. Sporre said he wouldlike a copy of all of the communications concerning the proposed signal on this intersection. He said he would like to meet with the county Commissioners and present this information to them. The City Manager said there is no question that the City had submitted a plan to the County. He said the Council would have to provide the money in the budget.for half of the funding before the County would take any action on this: He said the City had • been.in contact with the County and there response was that this is not warranted. Mr. Sporre said he would like a copy of the correspondence on what has been said by the City and the response of the County. H e said he would like to see what the City had requested of them. He said he did not think the Council should approve the proposed matter of consideration of the construction of the store until some decision is made on the signals at this ir�tersection. The City Manager said the staff would provide Mr. Sporre with all of ihe information they they have. Mr. Sporre said he would like a copy of the City's written request and the copy of the answer that was obtained from the County. The City Manager said the City cannot state their case until they have provided the money. Mr. Sporre said the City would be able to show their interest. The City Manager•said yes. Mr. Spbrre said the City shauld tell the County their intentions until this is pravided in the budget and contact three commissioners about the plan. Councilman Qreider said the County would not be able to make any commitment for money until after the 15th of July, after their second computor run. He said this would allow the City some time to reacton to the budget item. He said this would�a.11ow two to three weeks i;o get togther onthe matter. ; Mr: Sporre repeated his su�gestion that the approval of the current request be held up until the decision is made on fihe intersection. He said if there has been any � � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 previous correspondance, he wou]d like to see it. PAGE 13 21� . Councilman Fitzpatrick questioned if any firm request had been made by the City. � since this was not in the City's budget. He continued to state there would have . to be a question on the part of the Gounty at th�is time. �' He said this should be ta7ked about in the plan for the area. He felt this signalization � to be very important to the area and thought that this shoul�l be talked about with the County. � � � � � ' Mr. Sporre said he would like to read over the basic documents and this would take a �vhi]e to study and prepare a pr�sentation to them. Mr. Alex Barna addressed the Council and said he traveled in this area approximate]y 3:45 P.M. and saw a school bus unloading on East River Road by tf�e apartments. Ne said if there is berrning in this area, the children wi11 noi be able to see if there is traffic coming. He mentioned that the children dart off in all directions and the extensive landsca�iir.g with additional trees and the building would be a safety hazard. He suggested that the plan be just a building and lawn and not extensive lanscaping with trees and berms. Mayor Nee asked if it would be rossible to change the stipu- lations of the Board of Appeals. He said there should not be a bus stop off East River Roa�. He said he felt the bus siops shouid be changed. The Puhlic Works Director explained that there is a safety zone provided for�20 feet and there is also extensive bouievard in this area. He said this is quite a distance. Mr, Richard Harris asked if ihe boulevard property was for ;now storage or for future construction and the Public Works Director said basically for snow storage, not for construction. Councilman Fitzpatrick said there has been an ircrease in traffic in this area and this is the i:ime when the traffic problems are be�ng studied for a solution. He said it was his feeling that this item should not be approved until the traffic intentions are pursued for the future. Mayor Nee asked if the'18% coverage figures had been computed by the staff or furnished by the developer. The Pu�lic Works Director said they had been figured by the staff. � ' Mayor Nee asked when this land was purchased. Mr. Nordale said the Company had an option to purchase the property from the present property o�-�r�er. P1ayor Nee asked when the property had last changed hands, Mr. Nordale said he believed this was two to three years ago. The City Attorney informed the Council that there had been � a request to construct a service station at this location several years ago. He said this property was never owned by the ot�ners of the apartment comrlex. � , � � � � Councilman Fitzpatrick said he was on the Planning Commission at the time and this part of the property was never purchased by the apartment development, it was left there. Mayor Nee said what he was trying to establish is if the property was under the present zoning requirements at the time it was last purchased. The City Attorney � said this had not changed for some time. Mayor Nee asked if the property had changed hands after the eimt that the setback requirements became iaw in the City. The City Attorney said he would have to research this. Councilman Fitzpatri�k sa�d what Mayor Nee was trying to determine is when were the setback requirements adopted in cempar9son to the purchase of the property. Mayor Nee said he wouid not want the applicant to say the City had changed the rules on them. Mayor Nee said he did not see why the City should make any waivers on the property. He said he did not feel there should be any exit on East River Road. He said there had been many problems with the C-2S zoning in the area and it has been said that it should not be there. Fle said the City is. trying to ke2p a res�dential property to the area. M11ayor Nee comrnented in.other areas the no left turn signs have been installed and the motorists ignore them. He felt this wou]d also happen in this case. Councilman Fitzpatrick said even with the right turn, there will be a traffic jam there. Mayor Nee questioned if there wou]d be a legal claim to the exit. The City Attorney said the item should be tabled to al]ow the administration to research the matter. He said he would need son�e additional information such as when the • property was purchased and also some time to work out a more acceptable solution to the proposal. MOTIOfV by Councilman Fitzpatrick to continue the item until the next meeting of the Council to allow the administration to research the time sequence of the requirements on the property as compared to the time of purchase of the property.

ED QROPPS: Mr. Dropps addressed the Council and said he was the owner of a parcel of property called Rice Creek Estates. He said this is south of Rice Creek Road and west of Benjamin Street. He said everytime he comes in for a building permit for this property> he is required to set aside a storm sewer escrow. Mr. Dropps continued to comment that this property has been assessed twice in the past for storm sewer, and they are currently constructing their own internal storm sewer system. He said he felt he is being required to escrow money for a project that had never been approved and there is no pending assessment required in this case. Mr. Dropps said he had talked to the City Attorney and also the City Manager concerning this. He requested that the Council authorize sending a letter to the Attorney General asking him his opinion of this practice. Mr. Dropps said he had gore over the ordinance that is being enforced by thispractice and he did not feel that this money would have to be escrowed if he is constructing an internal system ta take care of the storm sewer of the area. He said he would see this if there was to be internal construction for.this imorovement, but based on his interpretation of the 1aw according to logic, he did not Teel this was a legal practice. ��r. Dropps said a great deal of money is being required and they are receiving no interest on it. Ne said the amount per lot amounted to about one half of the $800 required for each 10,000 square foot lot and this would be a total of about $20,000. He said this is set in a City fund for an undetermined length of time. He again rea,uested that t}�� Attorney General be contacted concerning this requirement and also that the escrow requirement be discontinued until the time that the,opinion is furnished. Mayor Nee questioned Mr. Dropps on the point that he is taking care of the total drainage of the area. Mr. Dropps answered that they are doing everything and paying for everything in the plat. Mayor Nee said they are constructing their own local system and paying for this and they also had contributed to two other storm sewer inprovements and Mr. Dropps said yes. The Public Works Director said the previous assessments were for Projects #106 and #114. Mayo'r Nee asked where the outfall for this project was. He asked if this would be Harris Lake. Mayor Nee asked if he would be required to escrow another $800 per lot under the escorw. The City Manager said the owner would be given credit for anything•that has been assessed under the previous projects. Mr. Dropps said thF n?aximum for each lot would be $800 and he has paid up to $400 per lot. The City Attorney said this amount is based on a 10,000 square foot lot. The City Manager said the City had proposed a plan for this area and the City Council had indicated that the project would not be done at that time. He said this left a. drainage problem in the area in the Sriardale Develpment. He said there had been several alternatives:such as taking care of the whole drainage prablem, and not allowing any more deve1opment in the area. Ne said another alternative was to allow • development making the developers pay the highest possible amount in escrow to take care of the drainage problems of the area. He said in this way the new owners of the homes could be told that the assessments on the property are paid for. He said �e City Council adopted the last of the alternatives. He said in the Briardale Development a ponding system was proposed, but the Developer did not want this iype of solution. The City Manager questioned why Mr. Dropps was concerned about this requirement at this particular time, after so much time has passed and many of the escrow requirements had been filled. Mr. Dropps said he had paid two in protest and a couple of others had been paid by another builder. He said he was not informed ahout this escrow arrangement at the offset of the project. He said he questioned the legality of requir- ing money fior something that is not approved. The City Attorney said this is not a pending assessment. The City Manager said this is escrow. The City Attorney said he talked to Mr. Dropps' Attorney coHeehadndirectedather and asked that the situation be analyzed by the Attorney. Attorney ta contact hini if there was a contrasting opinion. He said he had not heard from the ATtorney and Mr. Dropps had taken the opinion that this is not morally ritht. Mr. Dropps stated he questioned if this was legally right. The City Attorney said he would be happy to talk about this with Mr. Dropps' Attorney. The City Attorney said Mr. Dropps' opinion is based on the fact that the improvements are being constructed within the.plat and he had not seen any reference to this situation in the State Statutes. � � � , , i � � t_J � � ' � � i REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975 PAGE 15 215 Mr. Dropps said he was asking the Council to send a letter to the Attorney General asking him if this is legal. He questioned if this would be very difficult. 7he City Attorney said he felt the matter wouid be better handled through a declaritory judgement in District Court. Ne said it is perhaps a grey area and there is nothing to say that this�cannot be done. Mr. Dropps said he is selling the homes to people in the area and he did not know how to advise them on where the situataon stands. He said presently they had to charge the people for the escorw amounts and cannot answer who or when they would ever get it � back. He said if there is a system going to be installed in the area, he would be happy to pay for this, but he wanted to know where he stood and all of the other builders in the ar.ea feel the same. Councilman Starwalt asked how much is being escrowed by Mr. Dropps. Mr. Dropps said he had escrowed $407 on one lot and $457 on another. Mr. Dropps said the future home owners of the_area should be allowed to decide onthe matter of the construction . of the improvement of the storm sewer. They should be given the chance to make the decisian. Councilman Starwalt said the Council's objective in requiring this escrow money •is to protect the future home owners from unscrupulous builders. Councilman Starwalt suggested that Mr. Dropps' Attorney forward some correspondance to the City Attorney so the City would have some correspondance on the matter. Councilman Star.wa]t said the concernsshald be outlined in writing. Mr. Dropps.said he had hoped this could be handled with the Council through communicati�n with them, he hoped it would be done in a gentlemanly fashion without court action.

He said this is provided for in the Charter and had not been handled by the Council this year. He said there was a possibility that he would not be in attendance at the fourth conference meeting of the Council and would like this taken care of at the present meeting. Councilman Breider said he� would like to add the receiving of a letter from the National Association of Caunties. ' . The City Manager said h�would like some Council direction on the matter of the City vacated property south of George Is In Fridley. He indicated the owner has some use for it and there is a zoning question. MOTION by Cou��ilman Fitzpatrick to adopt the agenda with the aforementioned additions.

RESOLUTION N0. 55-1975 - REGARDING THE ISSUANCE OF INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSE - MAPLE LANES: The City Manager explained that the resolution presented to the Council was the same resolution that had been adopted for the other applicants. He.said the resolution indicates the City's intention to issue a liquor license to Maple Lanes with the understanding that the area be upgraded and that the applicant meet the requirements of the updated revised Ordinance and Codes. The City Manager asked if the reservation for the period of six months would be enough time for the completion of the construction. The City Manager recalled that the applicant's goal for completion was.sooner than this �eriod of time. He asked if the members of the Council had any questions. Councilman Starwalt asked if there was some question concerning the square footage requirements. The City Manager said thiswould be taken care of and Maple Lanes will • have to meet all of the standards of the Code, or the license would not be issued. Councilman Starwalt said he wished this could be agreed to before the adoption of the resolution. Councilman Breider said if the Council does not like the plan, they would y6 � PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL 14, 1975 not issue the license. PAGE 2 Mayor Nee said the Council did see a draft of the plans the previous week and there were some changes discussed and agreed to by the applicanb. The City Manager said the Council is not issuing the license, they are just reserving it upon the applicant's completion of the necessary requirements. Councilman Starwalt questioned the Finance Director on the criteria on what would be considered food and what would be considered liquor under the 40/60 split require- ments. He said what is liquor, what is mix, has this been set out in sufficient detail? Ne said if 3.2 beer,is not considered intoxicating liquor, woulcl this be considered food? The Finance Director said the City could send out a letter with this type of matter explained in detail. He said he had not felt that mix would be considered food, nor did he believe that 3.2 beer is not an intoxicating liquor. He again mentioned that the criteria could be clarified in a mailing. He said he did not really believe that any part of the drink would be considered food. Councilman Starwalt said he agreed with the concepts ,,f the Finance Director, but he had been trying to find out the problems that the other areas have been having and the City of Fridley should know what these concerns are. He said this should be clear to the City and the accountant reviewing the establishments boc�ks. The Finance Director said he did not think that these costs could be separated while ringing them up. Councilman Starwalt said he had heard tales that this is one of the problems that the State is having. He said this should be defined and the people should live within the requirements. Councilman STarwalt comnented he did not think there would be any problems with the current businesses in the City, but what about the {uture? The �inancE Director said this should be followed up with a letter of clarification. Mayor Nee said he felt this to be an Administrative problem. Hesaid he did not believe there should be any action on the Council level on this concern. Council^�an Starwalt said he thought that this should be looked into. He said he would like the City to be on solid form ground and this would have to apply to any people coming in in the future. The City Manager said the Administration had not had any doubt on this matter. He said there may be some cases where there is something mixed with the liauor, but he questioned if the operator would be able to specify so much receipts from the olive in a drink. Councilman fitzpatrick indicated that if a drink is purchased with water as the mix, the cost would be the same for the purchaser as if the drink was pre�ared with coke as a mix. � Mayor Nee said the question would not be the cost of the operator to purchase the mix, etc. The City would be deaiing with the receipts from the li�uor sales. Councilmart Starwalt asked how the food would be considered if the establishment offered a smorgasboard with the drinks and this food was free to the drink purchasers. Mayor Nee said this woutd not be the City's concern. They would be only concerned with the . receipts from the liquor and if the establishment wanted to �ive food away free, this would be fine. Mayor Nee said the City would be concerned with the revenues taken in by he sale of liquor versus food, not the cost of the food provided by the restaurant. Council man Fitzpatrick said he thought this should be clarified by the Administration. He mentioned the businesses in the City could be informed by letter. Councilman Starwalt said this is one of the questions that had been brought to him by the people of the City of Fridley. The City Manager said anything dispensed with the liquor should be considered liquor receipts. Coua�ilman Breider said he did not think it would be feasible for an esatablishment to ring up everything separate on the till. He thought they would be more interested in making sales than spending the time at the register dividing the items sold. He said in comparing the purchases to the sales, they were talking about the operators keeping two sets of books. PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL 14, �975 PAGE 3 92 Mayor Nee stated that the City would not be able to issue a license for a bar, only a restaurant, according to the State Statutes. He said if the operator does not sell the proper amount of food, his license would be in 3eopardy. MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to adopt Resolution No. 55-1975, regarding the issuance � of an intoxicating license to Maple Lanes. Secanded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote all voting aye, Mayar Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Nee asked the Finance Director to prepare a draft relating to the concerns voiced by Counci]man Starwa]t. The Finance Director said he would do this. CONSIDERATION OF LEGISLATION ON MANDATORY COMPREHEtdSIVE PLANNIP�G UNDER THE METRO COUNCIL: The City Manager explained that he did not think a formal bill had been introduced. He pointed out that the group of City Managers within the Metro Municipalities strongly opposed • such action. Bloomington had first opposed the action and then took action to support the legislation with certain modifications in the proposal. He said their support would go in line with �ose matters of Metropolitan significance such as planning of sewer and � traosportatio�, etc. The City Manager explained at the present time, the proposal was still within the Subcorrmittee. • Mayor Nee said he felt that the proposal would be voted out of the subcor�nittee by the following day. The City Manager said the proposal would give the Metro Council some additional authority they do not have at the present time. The City Manager continued to comnent that some say that the Metro Council should have some additional say in the activities of the area. He said it would be possible for the Council to approve the proposa.l with some modification in that the Metro Council ' have this authority as it relates to the broad powers within the Metro Area. He also indicated that there is a proposal that the members of the Metro Council be elected The City Manager felt if they ar2 elected, they would have more power. The City hlanager commented that he felt the Metro Council members are too far from their base. The City Manager said another alternative of the Council may be to do nothing on the - proposal. The City Manager explained with the amount of material sent out by the Metro Council, the City had not received any information on this proposal. Councilman Fitzpatrick said he thought a communication had referred to the proposal by a house file number. The City Manager said the proposal had been made by the Sub- cortmittee and not given a number at the present time. Mayor Nee said the proposal rea]ly sl�pped through. With all the information sent by the Metro Council; on this, nothing was sent out. Mayor Nee said he felt that Mr. Vern Peterson of the Associatior. of the Metropolitan Municipalities really misses the point. He continued to say that Mr. Peterson said the proposal only rela�es to physicai systems such as sewer and this would.enable the Metro Council to match, adjoining systems. He pointed out that this proposal would bring about conflict. Mayor Nee said if there ' is a conflict in plans, it would be the power of the Metro Council to tell the various municipalities to change their plans. He said this wouid notonly relate to the municipal . governments, but also to the various school districts. Mayor Nee said if this type of proposal had been adopted several years ago, the City of Fridley would not have been as prosperous as it is today. Mayor Nee said the downtown people had the City of Fridley ,; routed for something the City did not become. Mayor Nee said he had real reservations . ' on the proposal. ' ' � � � Mayor Nee continued to corrment that the mandatory planning wouid require a1i of the plannng to be done within a year or year and a half. Mayor Nee said h2 did not think there were this many planners in the City. He said there may be 40 planners with 180 plans to be done. He said this would be a fiasco. He mentioned that in this area, there would be no adverse effects on the City of Fridley because their comprehensive plan had been completed, but it would have an effect on the outlying suburbs and cnmmunities. Mayor Nee also felt that the sending of all plans to the Metro CouACil would be cumberso�e. He said he was opposed to the Metro Council making de�isions on the land use in the Metro area. Mayor Nee said he thought that the City should send representatives to indicate that the City would not favor giving the Metro Council such broad powers. Councilrnan Breider said the part that bothered him would be�that under the proposal, all of the cortmunities would have to submit their plans for development to all the other local governments in their area. He listed the areas surrounding the City of Fridley 0 � y� PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL 14, 1975 PAGE 4 and inaicated that this would also include the various school districts. He said this seemed like a tedious task. Councilman Fitzpatrick said he did :not feel that_the Metro Council was encouraging the. proposal, he felt the legislature was trying to do this for them. Mayor Nee said he thought this legislation was being supported by the Metro Council. Mayor Nee said he was not sure that the Metro Council itself had taken a position on the proposal, he knew that the staff had. Councilman Brieder recalled a co�rnent he had heard on the radio and said if the Metro Area becomes too restrictive, people and dev�].opers are going to move out of the area. Councilman Breider said if he were a developer and was told that he could not develop because there was no sewer line, he would go to an area where he could develop without one. ' Councilman Starwalt said it seemed that there was a speedy push on the proposal and he disliked this type of action. Councilman Starwalt said there.had not been any citizen input. He suggested that perhaps the Council should wait on taking any stand on the proposal. Mayor Nee said he thought';the consideration should be held over for one year in order to enable a price tag to be placed on the action. He said it must be determined what would be spent per plan. He said t�a oppose the entire proposal would tend to put the City against planning, and the City did no oppose planning. Councilman Starwalt said the City's years of experience in planning would give them more answers than some comnunities. He said he did feel that this was not the best situation within the seven county area, but he would not want to stand in the way of planning. Councilman Breider said the planner would have to submit plans and set the figures and he believed that the Metro Council would receive 15 tons of paper with the proposal and he could see no H:ay that they could keep up with this. Mayor Nee said he felt the Metro Council cou]d trust the City to figure out the necessary plans for the area. He questioned what would happen if the Metro Council would indicate that the City has too much industiral land? He asked if they would direct the City to change the zonin� to create more low cost residential. Mayor Nee said he believed that this type of action would go beyond the intention and requirement of their systems. Hesaid they shouid not be given the power to do this, even if it is indicated that they would not. ' Councilman Breider said he had heard some of the Metro Council people talk and he would not put anything past them. Councilman Starwalt said the City Council of fridley could let this consideration go by them at this time, or ask that action an the proposa� not be taken for the period of one year. • Mayor Nee responded stating that the matter may be voted out of the subcommittee at any time. He said the action by the City of Fridley may have some bearing on how the representatives vote. Councilwoman Kukowski asked if the indication of the City's should be submitted by means of a letter of intent or a resolution. Councilman Starwalt said he.felt the letter of intent would ge good. He asked if the City Manager would draft such a letter. \ Councilman Breider said he thought the City should take a stronger stand. He said those comnunities at the starting point would be bearing financial hardships. Mayor Nee said the Metro Council is offering to pay for this. Councilman Breider said this would be a burden on the State taxpayers.� • Councilman Brieder noted.that it would be tedious to have to submit plans for all development to all of the area communities, Metro Council and School Districts. Mayor Nee said the area corrm�nities do cooperate when this is suitable and the school districts also cooperate with the City. The City Manager agreed that there is cooperation between the area governme�tal units and school districts. He mentioned with the comprehensive plan, this would be necessary without passing a law on it. Mayar Nee saici the cost for such implementation could be very high. Councilman Starwalt asked if the stronger stand could be noted in opposition to the unknown costs? ' ' . � ' � ' ' � 99 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL 14, 1975 � PAGE 5 Counciiman 8reider agreed with this statement. Councilman Breider said the proposal is talking about two levels of planning, one the Metro type control or decisions on coordination of the comnunity projects on a higher scale and the other, decisions concerning individual parcels and their planning. Councilman Breider said he thought their input should be ]imited to the large sca]e major situations with Metropolitan and major significance. He thought they should be concerned with matters such as the amount of discharge in the sewer rather than the type of housing or,industrial land within the City. Mayor Nee said he thought this would allow the Council to act in an arbitrary way. Mayor Nee continued to point out that if the arbitrary criteria is adopted, this would affect all communities, and in this respect the City of Fridley will be fine because their comprehensive plan has been submitted. He thought this would relate to cities such as Burnsville �and Lino Lakes. Mayor Nee thought these powers shouid be limited to the collection of sewage rather than questioning the ratio of residential land to industrial land within the City. Counciiman Breider agreed with the concept and asked how many time a toilet would be flushed in a warehouse. He thought this would not be very many times. Councilman Breider said the use of the land as industrial in this type of construction would not increase the sewer flow. Councilman Breider questio�ed if their criteria is always right, and asked why there should be a change when ;`� had not been determined who is right. The City Manager said the proposed legislation wouid take away the powers that the City does have. Ne further suggested that perhaps the Council would like to only oppose the proposal insome areas and restrict their power in certain areas. ' Councilman Fitzpatrick said he did not think that Bloomington really took a stand of support in their action as reported in the Minneapolis Star. He explained that they suggested modification of the powers in many area Mayor Nee said he felt he could go along with the Bloomington proposal very easily. ' The City Manager indicated the Council would have the alternatives of opposing the � proposal or indicating it would favor modification. He said if the powers are _ defined and only relate to those matters with Metropolitan significance this would not broaden their powers. , ' ' � i ' ' ' � \ Councilman Fitzpatrick said he wauid not like to do anything that curtail the Ptetro Council's work in problems with urban sprall. Mayor Nee said he agreed with this point, but feTt the current proposai was asking for ��ne arbitrary powers for the Metro Council. Councilman Fitzpatrick saidmaybe, the Administration could bring in some reso7ution for Council consideration.• The City Manager questioned if this resolution should relate to the point that was made concerning the additional time for study of the proposal. he said the City could request that this be delayed for action for the period of one year and also indicate if the Legislature feeTs that it should be acted on, request that the Mefiro Council powers be more restricted, The City Manager expressed dislike for the methods of informing the area comn�unities. . He said the first notice the City of Fridley and about the proposal was sent out by the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities. The City Manager said he felt a stronger resolution shou�d be drafted stating the City would not want the Metro Council to have additional powers. Mayor Nee agreed stating the powers they do have should reTate io their capital systems. Councilman Fitzpatrick agreed that the notification of this proposal had been rushed and in other areas, the Metro Council addresses issues in great length. The City Manager said he would recommend that the Council take the position that the Metro Council has a certain roll to play, but that this should be restricted to certain areas. Councilman Fitzpatrick mentioned that until the Metro Council has excercised the powers that they do have at the present ttme, they would not be ready for additional powers. Mayor Nee said he thought the Metro Council had al7 the powers it needs at the present time. He mentione� the aspect of their granting powers in relation tolhe develop- ment of the corrmunities and said if the criteria of the Metro Council is not followed, the area communities wouldl`ot receive funding grants. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked Mayor Nee what his position on this concern is�. Mayor Nee said he.felt the degree of representation on the local level to be far superior than the Metro Council thinks. He stated the local power and judgement can be trusted and is more resporrsive and more dependable than if the Metro Council were to be elected and given the powers now entrusted to local officials, He said it is very hard to get .. 100 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL 14, 1975 PAGE 6 hold of a Metro Council i.mer�ber and it is very easy to get in touch with the local Council and Administration. Mayor Nee continued to comment that if this is done by State Statutes, this wou}d create tons of paper and be a bonanza for planners. He recalled that the concept of neighborhood councils had been tried in Minneapolis. Mayor Nee said in New York the central planning had been tried and it did not work because the peaple felt alienated. Mayor Nee said he would tend to agree with the Bloomington statement in that their powers should be modified within the proposal and defined more precisly. Ptayor �lee said he thought it would be a real mess if 100 communities began to plan all at one time. He questioned where all of the planners would be. Councilman Brieder asked if the resolution could be drawn by the coming week's Council meeting. The City Manager said this may be too late. He continued to comment that the Metro Council should have power on a limited basis and nat given such broad powers. He said this would just create additional red tape and they have the powers that are needed by them at the present time. The City Manager mentioned the amaunt . of paper that is generated by the Metro Council and explained that the Counci.l only r�ceives a part of this paper. He also referred to the Metro Council,atructUre and ` said there is a whole building full of people generatina paper. He questioned the am�unt of time they had occupied the building and the amount of people they have. Councilman Starwalt asked if the feelings of the Council could be summed up in a letter rather than the Council making this legis�ation. He questioned the overall costs. The City Manager said the Administration would bring something back to the Council by the coming week. He said the Administration would attend the upcoming week's meeting on the matter. Mayor Nee said he felt the City Manager understood the matter and could represent the Council at the meetings. Councilman Starwalt indicated�he approved of the City Manager representing the Council at the legislative meetings on the matter. MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to authorize the City Manager to attend the various Legislative meetings and be the Council's representative at these meetings. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimoualy. Mayor Nee said he thought there would be a meeting at 10:00 A.M. the followinu day. The City Manager asked the Council if they would still like some type,of resolution for action the foilowing meeting and Mayor Nee said yes. RESOLUTION N0. 59-1975 - A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE FORMULA USED fOR DISTRIBUTION OF STATE AID - SENATE FILE 1011: 7he City Manager explained tha the Finance Director had attended the meeting concerning Senate File 1011 because he had to attend another meeting. The Finance Director stated the Council had supported the proposed bill relating to ' Gross earnings on Railroad and Telephone companies, the gross earnings bill was the ,,,, ., fovernor's proposal. The Finance Director said the tax revenue from gross earnings � "• • is now going to the State of Minnesota and this would shift the gross earnings back to ' the municipalities. He said this bill would give municipalities more state aid and would result in lower property taxes. He said the proposed Senate File 1011 by Coleman would do two things, the State would distribute certain state aids now going to the counties to the � municipalities. The State would pick up certain welfare costs now being paid by the ' county. The Finance Director said the bills are tied together because there is a question of�whether the State could fund both, the gross earnings proposal and the Senate File 1011, welfare proposal, one of the other may be adopted. The Finance Director explained Senate File 1011/ welfare proposaT.stating the Counties lo5r� $31,000,000 they receive from State Aid funds. This would qo to.the municipalities. He said the formula for distribution of the State aid unfairly treats cities like Fridley. Mr. Brunsell said with this formula, Minneapolis and St. Paul would get a disproportion- ate share or one half of the total or from 15 to 18 million. The Finance Director pointed out ,anbther way for the Council to look at the alternative was that under the Governor's proposal, the City wou:ld receive $257,000, which.would go towaCdS.: reducing the property tax. Under the Coleman Bi11, the City would receive $63,000 in State Aid to reduce the property tax. He further explained that if the $3],000,000 were redistributed back under the s,ame formula as being used at the present � � � �� � ; ' , � � 1 � � ' ' ' ' ' PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL 14, 1975 time, the City of Frid]ey would receive $335,000 in additional State Aid that these figures were furnished by Senator Coleman's office. � �O1 PAGE 7 He indicated The Finance director informed the Council that the Governor had a r�aresentative speak in opposition to the Coleman Bill. He explained that Dean Lund of the League of Minnesota Municipalities spoke in opposition to the bill. The Finance Director said Senate File 1011 wauld give Minneapolis and St. Paul an unfair advantage over every one else in the State. A question was raised on the per capita formula and if the formula was different in the Metro area. 7he City Manager said if the City taxes the people more, they would receive more State Aid. The Finance Director expiained that the mi11 rate in the Minneapolis and St. Pual areas is raised through the inclusion of improvements and such things as garbage coliection placed on the tax statements. The City Attorney said the mill rate is only part of the formula. He also mentioned that the rate is of the real estate taxes versus the assessed valuation would have a bearing. The Finance Director said this would be equalized first to take care of inequities in the assessing process. He said this would put everyone on an equal plain. The City Marager said the Administration was not opposed to the City aetting the money, thei?: were �pposed to the dispr��portionate st!are coming back to ihe City. The Finance Director said he opposed the formula. He continued to comment that this was not to fair to ihe people in the suburbs and if this wouid pass, there would not be enough money for the gross earnings bill on the Railroad and 7elephone Companies. He said this would take money away from State funds and they both could not be passed. Mayor Nee asked if the best proposal for the City of Fridley would be the Governor's proposal and the Finance Director said this would give the most aid directly to the Ci ty. The Finance Director said under Senate File 1011, the City would receive approximately $628,000 total of State Aid Funds. He further explained that this•would be $63,000 in addition to the $565,000 that is currently received,.but under the same formula that is being used at td�� present time, the City would receive an additionai $335,000 for a total of $900,000. The Finance Director recommended that the Council take action to favor Senate Fiie 201i, but oppose the formula for distribution of State Aid. Councilman Fitzpatrick said this action wou]d only oppose the formula and would not jeopardize the gross earn9ngs tax. The Finance Director said yes, if the proposal is approved, the City would be indicating they would like to use the old formula for distribution of Senate File 1011 were to pass. MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt Resolution No. 59-1975, opposing the formula , for distri'bution of State Aid funds, Senate File 1011. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote> all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanir�ously. ' r \ ' ' CONSIDERATIOPI OF HOUSE FILE 754 FOR PROVIDING FUNDING FOR ISLANDS OF PEACE: The City Manager explained that the bill had been in thesubcommittee and would be before the full comnittee the next morning. He said the Subcoirunittee was concerned with the short term lease between the Foundation and the City and suggested that there be a longer comnitment for the land if this amount of money were to be put into the area. The City Manager explained that the Administration did not feel that there would be any problem in corranitting the land for this long a time. He said there may be some concern about the maintenance of the area over this period of time. He said it would be possible to corrmit the land to the recreational use of the handicapped for a period of 99 years. He pointed out to the Council that Hodges Island woaldnot be under City control after the period of ten years. The City Manager said it would be possible to corrsnit the land for a period over the four to five years period if this is the Co�ncil's desire. Mr. Qureshi said he hoped that the money could be obtained and the facility could become a more regional•type park. He�said his only reservation if that the City may be required to maintain and take care of the facility and buildings under the current maintenance fund, and it would not be possible to do this. The City Manager explained the application process for obtaining the funding by stating the City of FridTey wouTd be making the application through the State Planning Agency, the money would not be going directly to the Foundation. He said this would be similar to the appiication and funding procedures that had been followed for North Park. He �id the funds would come to the City and in turn, the City can have a relationship with the Islands of Peace. IL� 102 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL 14, 1975 PAGE 8 Mayor Nee asked the City Manager if he felt the Co�nittee would settle for an additional 25 or 50 years rather than 99 years. Councilman Breider asked if they were tal�ing about the extension of the lease or the commitment for maintenance of the facility for the use of the handicapped. The City Manager said they were talking about the lease. He mentioned that the question of whether or not the Islands of Peace Foundation would become inactive or defu � t should be considered. He commented that the Foundation has a legal and moral obligatian to turn the property back to the City. Councilman Breider asked if it would be possible for the City to prepare a letter of understanding contingent on the money going to this purpose. Mayor Nee asked if Councilman Breider's intent would be to guarantee that the land would be continuously available. Coui�cilman Breider said yes, the City would guarantee to develop the facility for the handicapped. Councilman Breider said.he did not feel the extension of the lease at this time would make any sense. Mayor Nee asked if the Council could give the City Manager some direction on the terms to be agreed upon. Mayor Nee continued to comment that the City could say that there would be no problem as long as the City would not have to program the development of the land or the complete mainten- ance of the facility. He added, yes, the City could make the land availabte for the purpose of recreational facilities for the handic�,-ned for who ever wants tc program it. Mayor Nee asked the Council if the City Managzr be given the dtscretion to reach an agreement in this line. The City Manager asked the �ouncil what would be their suggestion if the comnittee demanded the lease be extended for the full 99 years. Mayor Nee said this would be a long time. The City manager said there would be some probtems in the conmitment of the land. He indicated that the maintenance commitment on the part of the City of Fridley would be paying for the maintenance of a regior�al park. He said he thought the City would be doing its share to co�nit the land. The City Attorney said regardiess of what the City does with the lease, there wiil be some negotiations with the State Planning Agency. He said all of these things will have to be ironed out. The City Attorney said the State Pianing Agency might say the City will have to be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the facility. Mayor Nee said the m.aintenance factor did not'bother him, but if the City staffed the facility and provided busses and this ±ype of function, this would be undesirable. - The City Attorney said if the State is expending this amount of money, they might take some action to handle the operations of the facility. The City Attorney said this . would not be determined by the City or the Legislature at the present time, this would be done by the State Planning Agency in the future. Mayor Nee said the exact terms did not have to be on paper at this time. The City Marager said he would express the view that the City is willing to enter into a longer commitment for land use. , MOTION by Councilman Breider to comnit the land for a certain period of time for recrea- tional use by the handicapped'and general public contingent on the receipt of the grant for the Islands of Peace project in the aniount of $250,000.

RESOLUTION N0. 58-1975 - IN OPPOSITION TO HOUSE FILE 1T59 RELATING TO PUBLIC UT_TLITIES The Finance Director said the proposed House File would limit the late payment charge to not more than 1% per month and would prohibit the use of tax rolls for collection of delinquent accounts. Mr. Brunsell explained that the City has used this method of collectionextensively and had not taken the agressive action of turning off water. °' : ; . -€ , ' ' , �I � �' l03 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL i4, i975 PAGE 9 Ne explained that th�process of turning off the water to be quite expensive and it would not be possible to turn the water off for an apartment building. He explained an alternative action would be to take the collection matters to court. Giving the Council an example of this kind of action, Mr. Brunsell recal7ed the matter in question of collection that had come up the previous week. He;said the City had taken a person to court for non payment of a water bill and the court decided in favor of the City and the City still does not have the money, He said the use of the tax rolls for this type of collection is a very valuable tool to the City. He said it is not a costly process, and there are less problems in this method of collection than any other. He said thexity is bound to get a few complaints on the method, but this would be less than what would occur 9n the other methods. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked what is 6ehind the legislation to not put the delinquent ' utility bills on the tax rolls. The City Manager explained the back ground on the proposal by saying that one community put an excessive penalty of about 40% on past . ' due bills. He said some citizens feit this was undue pressure. The City Manager said the City of Fridley does not have this problem, their charges are no where close to this. The City Manager pointed out the City's opposition was not directed at the penalty pQr- tion of the House. File. He said they did oppose the stand to not allow utility bills to go on the tax rolls, and this is the basic reason for bring this matter to the Councii. ' The City Manager said the City's Utitity Fund is se]f sustaining and if the City would have to expend additional funds on collection, the people who are paying their bills would have to be taxed for this. The City Manager said it is the people that are not paying their bills that should pay the price. �J ' ' ' ' ' , � The City Manager recorr�ended that the Council adopt the resolution. Councilman Fitzpatrick said as a practica] matter, if he had a delinquent water bill, he would want the balance to be placed on the tax rolls rather than pay the lump sum payment or have the water turned off. The City Attorney said he agreed with the Finance Director in that it would be undesir- able for the City to turn off the water with no notification. He continued to explain the problem that had been discussed at the previous meeting of the Council when a lady owed a$76 water bill and was taken to court. He said the time snent on the matter by the new home owner, the legal consultants, City staff, price of the filing and transcripts and sending the sheffif out, the City would be spending much more in this callection procedure. Mayor Nee explained that he had been concerned with this being a proper use of the City's taxing power. He said this would be come a tax burden if the City failed to collect the amount, The City Attorney said the utility bills are a service for which payment is owed the City just as tax for special assessment would be. The City Manager expiained that the City is providing the servTCe and is not a profit making business. He said this could be contracted out, but as a City function, it is a self sustaining function where who ever uses the services pays for the service. The City Manager emphasized that the proposal would create a burden for those who are willing to pay for their utility bills by raising the cost and those creating the prob.lem should bear the burden. - MOTION by Councilman 8reider to adopt Resolution No. 58-1975, in opposition to House , ' File 1159 relating to pub]ic utilities limiting late payment charges and prohibiting use of tax rolls to collect municipal utility bills. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. ; Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. � Counciiman StarH;alt stated he thought it to be unfortunate that the man how had appeared at the last week's Council meeting was unable to resolve the transfer of the property' without the delinquent water bi]1. The Finance Director said in most cases, people will buy the property before they ever come into City Hall for any reason. He added, he � tould not guarantee that prospective buyers would be notified before�purchasing a � home in fridley. He pointed out that the Water Department is establishing a procedure ; so that this information would be available in a title search on the property, but � this information could on ly be conveyed if the search was compieted before the � purchase. He mentioned he could not guarantee that there would be an assessment search. � The City Attorney noted that one of the local legislators is sponsoring the House ; File. The Finance Director indicated that there are two parts to the proposal and the �' penalty portion may be the portion he is supporting. __ _ . __ _ _ ___ ---____ � 0 104 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF APRIL T4, 1975 PAGE 10 Mayor Nee said he had the feeling that NSP may have to go to court to turn off people's electric and have a court order to do this. He said this would have to be done with a claim in private business. He said he felt that NSP and the Gas Company.should have to do this. He further explained that when he first saw the proposal, he thought this is what the City would have to do also. He questioned if the claims should be documented beyond the City's satisfaction or whether this should be settled by other people. The City Manager explained that NSP is a profit making business and the City of Fridley is not. He said the City was only providing service and the Administration would have a responsibility to the citizens. He nentioned no one would be billed if there is a problem or a malfunction. The City Manager said the City would have to be more accoutable to the citizens than NSP, The City ATtorney said notices are sent out to the people before the delinquent utility bill is levied on the tax"5tatement. The Finance Director said the people are sent a notic� that if the bill is not paid in a certain number of days, the amount will he placed on the tax rolls. He said after this time the Council:is given the list of delinquent accounts for considera*ion in form of a resolution. The City Manager said the people are notified three times that they have a past due bill. CONSIDERAiIOr?

Sobiech, Public Works Director MEMO FP.OM: Thomas A. Colbert, Assistant City Engineer � � DATE: i�fay 28, 1975 , SUBJECT: Traffic Control Survey for &enja.m.in Street 2 Several petitions and requests have been received by the City Council of Fridley within the past year for traffic control measures in the for� of stop signs to restrict the traffic flow on Benjamin Street from Rice Creek Road to Gardena Avenue. The reasons for these requests have been based on isolated incidences of speed violations. Consequently, an indepth traffic control study was made to review any existing and potential problems associated with indis- criminate placement of restrictive traffic control signs. This study involves the follo�aing aspects: 1) A•review of all reportable accidents on record for this portion of roadway. 2) Results of intermittent radar surveillance with the riR-7 radar set in an unmarked Fridley Police vehicle. 3) Two traffic counts using the JRT.traffic counters. 4) The manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices' warrants for stop sign placement. 5) 1�ao published articles stating the results and conclusions of related stop sign speed control studies conducted in the State of California, all of which are attached for reference. 1) Accident Review A review of the accident file for Benjamin Street indicates 0 m � ' I � ' ' . RE: Traffic Control Survey for Benjamin Street Page: 2 � only one reportable accident has occurred on this street in the ' past 3 years: This involved a bicyclist who lost control of his bicycle trying to make a sudden stop at the existing stop � si n on Benjamin Street at Briardale Road. The attached report g � gives a more complete accounting of t1:� accident. 2) Radar Surveillance � � Radar surveillance was conducted at three different time periods during which a total of 68 vehicles were monitored with � 7 vehicles exceeding the 30 P�H posted speed limit with the � m�imum speed violation recorded at 37 MPH. As witnessed by the reeording officer the majority of vehicles appeared to be ' residents of the adjacent residential properties. ' _ 3) Traffic Counts �cao individual 48 hour traffic counts were con.ducted ' � � � ' , ' approximately one week apart and reduced to a 24 hour Averabe Daily Traffic (A.D.T.) count using the Minnesota Highway Depart- ment coefficients. The results indicate the major volume of traffic is on Benjamin Street. This is accounted for by the fact that Benjamin Street serves as a collector system for the minor arterial streets of Rice Creek Road and Gardena Avenue. Benjamin Street is the only access between these two arterials from Old Central Avenue to the Eastern limits of Fridley thereby necessitating a certain degree of unrestrictive traffic flow. 2A � 1� � . - , RE: Traffic Control Survey for Benjamin Street Page: 3 � � ' , � � . � ' � � � ' ' I , ' 4) Manual of Uniforta Traffic Control Devices The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which was ' compiled by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration and adopted by the Minnesota Highway Degartment on December 20, 1973, is the mandatory guide Iine �� for sizing, erection, location, and warranting of any a.nd all traffic control devices to be used in all municipalities. Section 2B-5 states the warrants required for the placement of a stop sign at an intersection. In this section it specifically states that "Stop signs should not be used for speed control". 5) Speed Control Studies The two studies made in the State of California were conducted solely for the purpose of observing the effects that stop sign placement had on the speed of vehicles. Both studies were conducted on similar collector streets in San Francisco and Los Angeles suburbs. The results of both studies indicate that vehicle speeds did not change after the installation of stop signs as speeds were back to within 3 MPH of their top level within 100 feet of the stop sign. The studies also observed that the stop signs do not reduce the mid-block speeds when they are used exclusively as speed control measures. In fact, it has been reported that speed levels at intermittent points were increased due to the f rustration experienced by the driver from i 1 �I 1 - 2C ' RE: Traffic Control Surwey for Benjamin Street ' Page: 4 � , . having needlessly to stop at an unwarranted intersection. Summar ' y •� Referring to the specific requests for stop sign. placement I' � , on Benjamin Street at Briardale Road, 61st Avenue and Ferndale � Avenue, none of these intersections warrant a stop sign. on Benjamin Street. At 61st Avenue and Ferndale Avenue, severe � problems would be created in the winter months due to the steep � gradient of the hill between these two points. At Briardale Road, ' the existin� stop sign is completely unwarranted and it catches , the motarist off guard as an unexpected restrictive intersection. As the area to the West (Rice Creek Estates) is developed and , more traffic is generated at this intersection it will be surveyed again to determine if a 4-way stop sign could be warranted. � ' The indiscriminate and unwarranted placement of such a ' restrictive traffic control device as a stop sign, many times creates more of a traffie hazard then presently exists. As for ', the isolated speeding incidences, increased police surveillance � and the erection of cautionary and/or Warning signs are recommended. Many streets in the City have similar occasional speed violations and if stop signs were continually erected with the intent of slowing down these few violators, any type of uniform and consistent traffic flow would be lost. , � � �r � . � ',. RE: Traffic Control Survey for Benjamin 5treet � Page: S , neco*;unendations Based on the above presented facts and the unfortunate ' accident that was directly attiributed to the e�sisting stop sign_ ' on Benjamin Street at Briardale Road, iti is the recommendation of the Engineering Department that the existing stop sign on , Benjamin Street at Briardale Road be removed until such time , that future development requires this type of control. It is also our recommendation that the getitians received requesting 1 . stop signs at 61st Avenue and Ferndale Avenue be denied due to insufficient warrants. .

KICK � FRO.�i: OFFIC�R R�HARQ � AAT� : b1�1Y 19, 197 5 h�rioxAr;ouM SUBJECT: T1tAHFIC 5UKVEY 6100 BLOCK OF B�NJAMIN 2H ' Pursuan�C to a tarittien ciirective from Sgt. Spruiigman, I used the b�1R-7 Radar set to survey the nortnbound traffic on Benjam.in St. Tne area checked was bettiJeen Briardale Drive and 61st�Ave N.E. T1ie first check was made on 5-16-75 at 0945 houxs for one hour with th� � following results: 5even�vehicles�wen�C through the radar tiYith all but one going suUstantiaZly.under the '�speed limit, of 30 miles per hour. The same day at 1400 hours a second. check taas made �vith i.ncreasing traffic, althaugh �nost of the vzhicles �aere uzader the speed limit. �3i�ficer lianson assi.sted ��uring �his time titi�hich continued until 1700 hours. As you iJ�II notice on the attaclxed racl<�.r lo�;s, most of the vehicle were driven by male drivers after 1600 haurs, presumably residents �comi.ng home from titork. There were many bicycles on tne stxeet during all L-he times that were checked, In one case a serious accident occurred which I witnessed, but snould not be taken into consideration as part of this survey. (See supplementary ' report attached) � Due to my working hours on Sunday, 5-18-75 I�Yas not able to get a c}ieck on the area ti�ith the raclar, iio�rever, I�aas able to travel the area and observed vexy light traffic in Lhe ' early e�ening hours.. � ' I__l .' In conclusion, because of the time alotted for th�is survey it is my belief L-hat the speed limit on this street in sufficientl.y lo�a enough to allo�a fQr a residential area, hoc�rever, I'm sure that there are scattered times and incidents of young dra.vers from the area schools which take adv�-iage of the street as they do in other areas, because oi _ a.t's accessability to both Gardena St and Rice Creek Raad. If there tvere to be any changes i.n the traffic control, it might possibly have some fiype of slowing effect to erect a stop sign at 61st Ave N.E. on Benjamin St. However this could also possibly be a hazard at �.ertain..t�i�i�s of the year because of ice on the r�ad at the bottom of the steep grade just south of 61st Ave N.E. ' Numerous school buses use this street also and no problems were encountered �aith rehicles 1 while tne buses were unloading. cc: Sgt. Sprungman � , ' �J -.

City ManagerjPublic Safety Director May 28, 1975 Park Ordinance Governing Intoxicating Beverages and 3.2 Beer ' After a rather extensive research into the above topic matter includ- ing contacts with various jurisdictions as well as my personal appear- ance before the City Parks and Recreation Commission, I am now in a position to recommend the amended ordinance that should be implemented � by City Council. My recommendation is that our City Park Ordinance .508.21 be amended to read: � � It shall be unlawful for any person to have in his possession or to consume any intoxicating liquor or nonintoxicating malt in or upon any � City park, parkway or bathing beach with the exception of subdivisions 1 and 2 below. � � � ' 0 Subd. l. Not withstanding laws to the contrary, possession and consumption of nonintoxicating malt liquor is permitted in Locke Park. • Subd. 2. Not withstanding any laws to the contrary, upon approval of City Council, and issuance of a permit, a club or charitable, religious or non- profit public or private organization may sell and allow buyers to consume nonintoxicating malt liquor in the ' Commons Park. � In addition to the amendment of 508.21 I would also recommend that our bathing beach ordinance 507.06 liquor, be amended simply to read "refer to City Code 508.21 as amended." �� � ' r � The above recommendations are equivalent to the desires of our Parks and Recreation Commission as determined in their minutes of August 26, 1974, and with further clarification at their meeting of May 19, 1975. It may be feasible that our City Attorney review the recommen- dation and possibly change the wording, if needed, without losing its intent. I would be glad to discuss the recommendation with you, or with Council, at a later date if desired. c- Paul Brown, Parks and Recreation Director ' • - _ _ _. � _ '��,�, � � .'

Mr. Boardman said the administration had no objection to this vacation request, but an easement wouid have to be retained for the storm sewer in the South Half of � • � 0 � II � Planninq Commission Meetinq May 21, 1975 Page 2___ 5 A the street being vacated, and for the 12 foot easement in the alley would have �, ' to be extended across the vacated street, because of.the power lines in this easement. Mr. Harris asked the purpose of this vacation? Mr. Smerud said it would enable '� him to construct an addition to his home without asking for a variance, and as they were maintaining this property already, they a�ould prefer to own it. Mr. Boardman said the proposed addition Y�ould be 8 feet from the present property line, and Mr. ' Smerud was told to either ask for a variance or request a vacation of the street, and Mr. Smerud chose to ask for the vacation. 1 Mr. Langenfeld said the adjacent property owners to this street had been main- taining it for the past � years. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Archer, the other adjacent property owner, how he felt , about the vacation of this street? Mr. Archer said he was in agreement to having i't vacated, and h: had been maintaining the property also. hfr. Drigans asked Mr. Smerud what he was going to do with the existing r;:rage? Mr. Smerud said he was going to tear it down. MOTION by Drigans,:secnnded by Meissner, that the Planning Commission recommend to Council approval of vacation request, SAV ��75-02, by Loren Smerud, to vacate 46th Avenue N.E. between 3rd Street and University Avenue N.E., to allow the construction of a 24` x 24` addition to 4603 3rd Street N.E. with the following stipulations: 1. Retain the storm sewer easement over the Northerly 20 feet of the South Half of 46th Avenue being vacated. � 2. Retain a 12 foot utility easement in the extension of the alley between � B�ock 9 and 16, PlymouZh Addition. 3. The existing garage be town down when the addition with the tuck under garage is completed. Mr. Smerud asked what problems he would have if this garage wasn't torn down at that time. Mr. Boardman said he would have to apply for a Special Use Permit for a second accessory building. Mr. Smerud said he didn't know about the restric- tions on a second accessory building, so he would probably tear do.wn the existing garage. Mr. Meissner said this would not be such a rigid stipulation, that �he very day the addition was completed, the garage had to come down, but he would have to comply within a reasonable time. f�lr. Smerud said he would like to use the present garage for storage while the second garage was being built. . Mr. Meissner said that if he decided at a later date, to use this garage for storage, and not tear it down, he would then have to apply for the Special Use Permit. / UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 2. CONSIDERATION OF A UACATION REQUEST: SAV #75-03, MACHINING INC.: Vacate the � alley in Block 5, Spring arook Park Addition, that lies between Ashton Ave.nue and the railroad tracks, to allow for an addition that will jain two existing buildings, at 140 Liberty Street N.E. �. ' _ Mr. Frank Schaul, co-owner of Machining, Inc., was present. �� 3� f .� � ' , ' � ' � � Planning Commission Meeting - May 21, 1975 � . Page 3 . 5B Mr. Boardman said that Machining, Inc. have a building on both the North and South side of a 12 foot alley. They want to construct an addition that would join these two buildings into one complex, and in order to do this, they are request- ing that this alley be vacated. Ne said there were power lines in this alley, and what they want to do was to encroach on the utility easement and vacate the alley easement. Mr. f3oardman said Darrel Clark had received a letter from Northern States Power Company, which he presented to the Planning Commission. MOTTON by Meissner, seconded by Drigans, that the Planning Commission receive the leCter from Northern States Power Company dated May 14, 1975: Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairman Harris read the letter as follows: "I received Che City of Fridley's notice of Che preliminary hearing on the request of Machining, Inc., 1�0 Liberty Street N.E., to vacate the alley in Block S, Spring Brook Park Addition, that •lies between Ashton Avenue and the railroad tracks, to allow an addition that will join twa existing buildings. Northern States Power Company has no objection to this vacation, provided we are granted a permanent easement for the retention of. our facilities or are reimbursed for rerouting L�hem. Thank you for your consider-. ation in this matter, John L. Ranck, Municipal Services Representative, Nor'th Division." Mr. Boardman said that one of the stipulations of the Plais & Subdivisions- Str�ets & Utilities Subcommittee was that in order for this building to be constructed, they would have to have written permission from the utility companies who are presently using this easement for their facilities. He said that the uti1ity com- panies would be placing stipulations orr the height of the building, and how far the roof bf the building would have to be f.rom the power lines, etc. Mr. Narris asked what these power lines served? Mr. Schaul � across the railroad tracks to John Hayes property at 136 Liberty �said the power lines had just gone in last year, and he had given put the pol�es in. Mr. Nleissner asked Mr. Schaul if he had talked ' Power Company about the allowed height of the building, etc. Mr. partner had been talking to them. said they went Street. Mr. Schaul ihem permission to to Northern States• Schaul said his , Mr. Boardman said that if.the utility easement was retained in this alley, and the petitioner gets written agreement from the utility companies using this easement on the encroachment, then the City couldn't see any problem with granting this ' vacation request. The City has no objection to the encroachment on the vacated . alley. ' , �i � � ' Nfr.. Harris asked about Mr. Hayes having access through this property. He said there was an unsigned agreement in the agenda, which stated that there was verbal agreement, but that h1r. Hayes would noi sign it, on access through this property to the crossing at the�railroad tracks. Mr. Boardman said that at present, John Nayes has access from his property to both Longfellow and Liberty Street, on Ma�hining, Inc. property, and with the proposed addition, he will only have access to Liberty Street. The original unsigned agreement only gave him access to Liberty Street. Mr. Meissner asked if John Hayes knew that his access would be cut off to Longfellow? Mr. Schaul said he didn't think he knew this yet, but they had never had�any troub►e with Mr. Nayes. -, Mr. Schaul said that about three years ago, he did seek le.gal advice, and that this advice was that he could shut the access off to John Hayes anytime, which he said he had no intention of doing. His only concern was that as Mr. Hayes had been I � • . { ; � : .i ; ,. r -r� `� ;� `� y� Planning Commission Meetinc�- May 21, 1975 � Page 4 � 5C using this access for a number of years, he migh� claim the property as his, and Machining, Inc. didn't want to give up any of their property, as they need every square faoi that they have. Mr. Meissner said this easement for Mr. Nayes didn't enter into the vacation request of the a]ley, but it was something that would have to be considered. Mr. harris said he thought this was something that would have to be resolved, because it was something that was sort of swept under the rug by the City for many years. Ne thought Machining, Inc. shauld have some type of written agreement on the access to Liberty Street. Mr. Schaul said he a�as not under obligation to provide this access. Mr. Meissner said he may have a problem with adverse possession, if some sort of ag�°.eement vrasn't worked out. Mr. Schaul said this what they worried about. Mr. Harris said the Mr. Schaul said that h1achining, Inc. got along fine with.Mr. Nayes, but the next owner might wonder what Mr. Hayes was doing driving on this property. ' Mr. Boardman said that although this vacation request has noihing to dc with th�e easement for Mr. Hayes, indirectly it does, because in granting this vacation to allow the construction of the addi�:ion, it will block Mr. Hayes access to Lo;;gfello��v. He said the verbal agreement never covered an access to Longfellow, only to Liberty, but Mr. Hayes has been using both accesses. - Mr. Harris said an agreement should be drawn up, and if Nir. Hayes vrbn't siqn it, as he refused to sign the first agreement, there wasn't anything that could�`change that, but he thought the effort should be made. Mr. Schaul said he thought Mr. �Hayes would be fighting for another access, because he had seen him sitting at the tracks for an hour waiting for the train to move. . Mr. Narris said that Mr. Hayes has his junk yard spread all over, and a lot . of it was on other people's property and in the street right of way. Mr. Boardman said that�Steve Olson, the Environmental Officer for the City, had been working with Mr. Hayes, and he has been pulling a lot of the junk back onto his own property. Mr. Meissner said that Machining, Inc. could give Mr. Hayes permission to use this'access unilaterally, but retain all rights for themselves, in an agreement. Mr. Meissner said that another question he had on this vacation involved a lot of people in this block, and 4vithout their written conseni, he wouldn't be in favor of vacating any more than just the alley that was owned by the pet?.tioner. Mr. Schaul said that was ail he had requested. Mr. Meissner said he knew it was the practice of the City to vacate the entire alley, but he would still'want written consent from the rest of the block, even though they had been notified of this request. Mr. Schaul said they only needed to vacate the alley between Lots 10-17, and Lots 32-37, for the construction of their addition. Mr. Harris said that before he could go along with vacating the entire alley, he would like to see some signatures of the affected property owners, that they were in agreement to the vacation. � � Mr. Boardman asked what the Planning Commission would do..if all the signatures of�the other property owners weren't obtained. Mr. Harris said then we would jUSt vacate that portion of the alley that the petitioner requested. Mr. Boardman said that �he administration felt it would be better to vacate the entire alley from Ashton Avenue to the railroad tracks, and that all those property owners had been notified of this request and had been asked to attend �this meeting. � ., , _ . _ . . _ _ . _.x . . � ; LJ ' . . Pae5 5D Plannin� Comrnission Meetin - Ma 21, 1975 . Mr. Harris said he agreed that.the entire alley should be vacated, but he still wouldn't vote to vacate the a1Tey without signatures of property owners in this block. Mr. Boardman said that Tri-Co Quilders had called the office and said they had no objection to this vacation. They own some property on this block. 'Mr. Meissner said that as a member of the Plats & Subs. Subcommittee, it had � always been their policy to vacate as many stub streets and undeveloped alleys as they could to get this property back on the tax rolls, not that these vacations ' added that n�uch to the tax,rolls, but there was really no reason for the City to keep this property either. ,He said that �ahen something was vacated, he still liked to have the property owners present to say that they �vill accept the property. He continued that 99 times out of 100, no one did object, but he would still like to ,, know that the proper.ty owners agreed to the vacation. MOTION by Mei�sner, secorzded by Drigans, that the Planninq Commission recommend �, to Council approval of the reguest for a vacation, SAV #75-03, by Machining, Inc., to vacate the a11ey in B1ock 5, Spring Brook Park Addition, that lies between Ashton Avenue and the ra.ilroad tracks, to a1.Zow the construction of an addition that wi11 � join two existing �uildings at 140 Liberty Street N.E., with the following stipu- lations: ' � �� ' � , � � '^ ��� � � ' 1. Retain the I2 foot utilit� easement in the vacated ��:���•� 2. City a1Zow the encroachment af the buil.ding into the easement. 3. Petitioner get written permission from the utility companies, and foZZow their stipulati.ons for this encroachment. 4. That consent be obtained in some form, from a11 the other affected property owners along this a1.Zey, or faiZing that, that the a11ey just be vacated between Lots ZO-17 and 32-38, Block 5, Spring Brook Park Addit1on, which are owned by the petitioner. Mr. Harris asked if the agreement that Mr. Schaul shauld work out � with Mr. Hayes on an access should be a stipulation? Mr. P1eissner sairl he didn't want to tie'.this in with the vacation request. He said that Mr. Schaul did noi intend to shut Mr. Hayes of-f from an access, but he didn't want to give any of his property away either. Mr. Harris said that even if this was not going to be a stipulation of the vacation, he thought this agreement was svmething Mr. Schaul should pursue. �. UPON A VOICE VOTE, a11 voting az�e',.the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Harris said he thought that it should be brought to the Council's attention that there were platted streets and alleys across the railroad tracks. This was an atd plat, and none of the streets and alleys were in. He said this was a problem area in Fridley, and a solution of some type should be sought. 3. DISCUSSTON ON QIKEWAY PROPOSAL Mr. Boardman said he would give the Planning Commission a little history on the bikeway�proposal. He said that when we were working on the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan, we had suggested that.a bikeway system be developed for the Gity of Fridley. In late August, the City Council wanted to look at that a little further, so they set up a Citizen Bikeway Committee to make a study and prepare a report. He said he had been meeting with this Conunittee ever since September, sometimes four Planninq Commission Meeting - May 2�1, 1975 �� Pa �e 6 5 E times a month. They did preparethis report which calls for 32 miles of trails to be put in a five stage program. When the Qike,Committee comple�ed this report they held Public Hearings. After these Public Hearings, they did make some modifi- cations to the.plan. We have mailed out this report to 44 service organizations and asked to have their written recommendations on this plan.. The letters we.have received so far are in your agenda. htr. Qoardman said the City Council would be holding a Public Hearing on this proposal on June 9, 1975. Before this Public Nearing we did want to get the recommendations of the Planning Commission on this report. Ne said this report would come under the Transportation Plan as well as the Parks & Recreation Plan. . Mr. Drigans asked what was the intent of ihe Bikeway Committee. Would they cease to exist now that this report has been completed. Mr. Boardman said their recommendation to the City Council, was that if this proposal was accepted, that this would be a continuing committee that would meet abou� 3 times a year to help implement the program. h1r. 8oardman said this was a 9 member committee, who repre- sent the nine different areas of Fridley. If there were any changes necessary in any area, people could contact their representative, and that representative would notify the City Coi�ncil. Mr. Langenfeld said that he thought this was a very good report. He asked how ihis was going to be reviewed by the Planning Cominission. Mr. Boardman said they could review it page by page, or if they thought that in reading it, they just wanted to approve the concept, they could do that, if they were ready to make a recommenda- �tian, or they could pass it on to Caunci1 without a recammendation. Mr. Boardman said the most important thing to consider in this report was Stage l. This was the pilot stage. Stage•1 and 2 are mostly access stages. Stages 3, 4 and 5 were mostly recreational stages. The reason we felt that the access stages were the most important was because we have a bad access problem for both ,pedestrians and bikes at the present time. � Mr. Boardman said that we f,elt that the most important state of this proposal was the first stage. It will provide us with the amount of access we need to all parts of the City of Fridley. It will give us a good indication of the use of the S� system, and see how it tivill work. It will also allaw us time to change some of the routes, if the system was not working. , ' � � � � � Mr. Harris said he noticed that Burlington.Northern was quite adamant on allow- ing any easements on their property. Mr. Boardman said they are recommending no easements on Burlington Northern property. The only crossings we Mave are on the major roads that cross the railroad tracks. Mr. Langenfeld said he would like.the sidewalk assessment policy explained. Mr. Boardman said the way the assessment procedure works, at�:the present time, was that all sidewalks on City streets are not assessed to the property owner, they are assessed to the general fund. All sidewalks on �tate Aid Roads are not assessed - to the property owner, ti�ey are assessed to State Aid Funds. The sidewalks along County roads, are all assessed io the property owners. The recommendation of the Bikeway Committee was that this be changed so these sidewalks were not assessed to the property owner, but picked up by the general fund a7so. The reason being that these sidewalks would benefit more people that just the property owner who has the sidewalk on their property, � ��. Mr. Langenfeld said that on page 24 it mentions restricted parking. 0 �� i� , , .' � � ' � Pla�ninq Commission Meetinq May 21, 1975 � pa�e � 5 F Mr. 6oardman said what they were talking about in this section vras that in some areas, there will have to be astripe lane on Gity streets. On some streets we don't have enough room to provide two traffic lanes, two bike lanes, plus two parking lanes. Qy restricted parking we mean e1im.i.nat.ing parking on one side of the street, or eliminating all parking on some streets, to allow two traffic lanes and two bike lanes. Some of the street5 where the Sikeway Committee recammended no parking on the sireet were Mississippi, Osborne Road and Old Central, and on Rice Creek Road from Old Central up past the Lutheran Church. When we get into residential areas in providing bike routes, then we don't have the problem of park= ing because there are no striped lanes. Mr. Qoardman said that wherever there was a high turnover in parki�ng this made it more dangerous for the bicyclist. Mr. Boardman said the Qikeway Committee was very cautious on what streets they recommended for no parking. . � Mr. Drigans said the Bikeway System Plan was an extensive document and he •felt that it required a detailed consideration by the Planning Commission. He said � they would have quite an effect on the community if it was adopted by the•City Coun- cil. He felt that due to the reorganization of the Planning Commission, an� as � we do not know wha?, the make-up of the Commission will be a month from now, ne thought it was better not to start this review until the membership was up to �ull strength, or else they would have to start the review over again with the new members. He said he thought this �rouldn,'t affect the Public Nearing of the City Council. Mr. Boardman said as the Public Hearing by the City Council would �.probably be a series of continued hearings, it would be acceptabl"e for the Planning � Commission to make iheir recommendations later. Mr. Drigans said that to giVe �his plan just a superficial blessing was not the function of the Planning Commission. Mr. Langenfeld said he agreed with Mr. Drigans and thought the Planning Commis- '� sion should indicate to the Council that we have given this proposal a thorough revie�r before we made our recommendation. ' Mr. Boardman said he had felt that the Bikeway Committee could be a project committee of the Transportation.Committee or the Community Development Commission, if we had been working under the reorganized Plann�ng Commission. ThE�n this would . have.come to the Planning Commission and they would have to determine �f this met , the goals and objectives of the Transportation plan. Ne said that as this reorgan- iZation was just going into effect, we don't have any goals and objectives on. transportation. It was possible to hold this up until we get those goals and ' objectives established, or else �ass on this and make changes and recommendations at a later date, to mee� these goals and objectives. , Mr. Boardman Commission to have same time tha� the said he agreed that it was the responsibity of the Planning input on this proposal, and they could be doing this at the City Council was holding Public Hearings. '� Mr. Narris said he would like Mr. Boardman to get input from the surrounding communities, that have already started to implement a bikeway plan. He said he knew a lot of them were in the first stages, and maybe from this input, we could � ' avoid some of the pitfalls they experienced. " Mr. Boardman said that most of these systems were recreational: systems only, � but he would gather as much info rniation as was available, but that Fridley was pro- posing a much more extensive system, because of our problems of access in the City. � Mr. Boardman said that if we got a good response from our pilot stlge, we can go �Qn with the Plan as it was laid out. If we have a bad response, then changes will ' � I,� Planning Commission Meetinq - May 21, 1975 ' Paqe a have to be made. This was a very flexible plan. ' �r. Meissner said we are talking about a program that was going to take years before it was completely implemented. He said that it was mentioned in the report that one of the problems vre were having was the enforcement of bicycle laws. Ne � said we do not have to wait for this bikeway program to start enforcing the laws. Mr. 6oardman said that part of the plan was already in action. The police � are conducting bicycle safety and regulation classes at the schools at the present time. They have t4ro policemen working 8 hours a day on an education program that was being presented to the schools. They sponsor bicycle rodeos alsa. , Mr. Harris said that half of 1aw enforcement was education. You can't expect the rules and regulations to be followed if the participants don't know them. �, Mr. Boardman said they have also set up a new system for tagging juvenile bicyclists, which was just going into opertation. . ' � Mr. Boardman �aid it was brought out in the goals and objectives of the Bikeway Commitl;ee that bicycle education was a must. He said he thought their goals and objectives were very well written, and were very flexible. MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Meissner, that the Planning Commission start reviewing the bikeway proposal when the structure of the Planning Commission was solidified. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 4. DISCUSSION • � Mr. Soardman explained the background on the freeway r►oise abatement system which had been a stipulation of the Darrel Farr Development of Phase IV and V, �1'his was discussed at length by the Planning Commission, who subsequently felt ' they didn't want to make any recommendation either way on this stipulation. . � � ADJOURNMENT: . MOTIDN b� Drigans, seconded by Meissner, that the meeting be adjourned.

(REQUEST BY TRI-CO BUILDERS, 7555 VAN BUREN STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Crowder to open the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Jim George, of Tri-Co Bu�,lders was present to present the request. Mr. George showed the board plans for the proposed structure and explained that this �welling will be a sp7;it entry, or 12 story building. A number of people from the neighborhood came forward to vieW the i plans. One of these people, Mr. Gerald Steinhorst, of 616 Glencoe Street, explained that this property line is 12 feet from his door. He de�initely opposed the idea of having a structure so near his , home. It was explained that the variance applied to the size•=of the house and that all setback requirements were being met. � Another concerned resident of 600 Glencoe Street explained that he had worked to get this buiTc�ing code establi.shed, and he felt that it shouldn't be changed to meet the needs of certain individuals. � . Mr. Drigans said that in the case of a landlocked, 50-foot lot such as this, construction of a house on that 50-foot is allowed. � Mr. George said that his company had purchased these lots in 1967. and 1968 with the idea that they were building sites. He said that threy were told they could build on a 50-foot lot. , � Another concerned resident fe.lt that this could be a fire hazard. She asked why a code was written for 7500 square feet if it wasn't to be kept. Mr. Drigans explained that there is a grandfather clause � which states that construction may take place on a 50-foot lot in - certain instances. � ' Mr. Crowder asked what the additional 50 feet of land would add to the total cost. Mr. George said that this would mean an approximate difference of $4500. . • � � � 0 � PAGE 2 6 A Mr. Drigans asked whether this lot was located on the flood plain.:. Mr. George said tha-t this was a few blocks down. He added that proper drainage would be used. A concerned resident stated that he had had problems with that before in another case. Proper drainage had not been used. MOTION by Wahlberg,seconded by Crowder to close the public-hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel that in view of the hardships expressed by the purchaser of the landlocked piece of property, and in view of the fact that he has asked for a permit for a building which meets all other co�as, we recommend approval of this variance to allow construction on this piece of property. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, �:he motion carried. 0 m // ' �� �1,1� ` q� /9 �y ,Zp �:j Z/ � � � /� 1 R t'� ,� ti .

Mr. Mattson said he had received a call from the neighbor and there was no objections as long as the garage was not going to go to the lot line. Mr. 1 Corbett added that the neighbor had also mentioned not disturbing the fence between the two properties. ,� Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Mattson if the City staff had any comments on this. I�. Mattson said a firewall had been discussed for the east end of the garage since it will be so close to the lat line. Mr. Corbett said he knew he had to i.nstall a firewall between the living area and the�garage but did not , understand why he needed one on the east end of the garage. Mr. Crowder said that with the overhang on•the garage and on the adjoining house, the structures would be getting pretty close together. rir. Corbett said he had no objection � to installing the firewall.. Chairman Drigans said this can be worked out with the administration when the building�permit is applied for. � MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Crowder, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. , Chairman Drigans said it seems to him that the hardship is the size of the garage and the proximity�to the property line.

Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. David E. Nordale and Mr. David M. Noyes, of the Meridian Corporation, were present to present the request. � 7C � � The propased plot plan was shown to the Board for their review. Chairman Drigans said he had received a letter from Mr. Fudali, who is the attorney for, general partner of, and developer bf the Meadow Run Apartments, the adjoining property, objecting to the variancos. Chairman Drigans read the letter to the Board. He also gave a copy of the letter to Mr. Noyes. ' MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to receive the letter from Mr, Fudali objecting to the variances. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. � ' � , , Chairman Drigans read to the Board, the stated hardships for the variances from the application. The application stated, "Due to street setback requirements on three sides, the buildable area is only about 40 (1825 square feet} of the total site area of about 42,226 square feet. This is an extremely lc�+a coverage figure. In addition the angled geometry of the property makes for an unusual configuration if the site is to be utilized properly or to its even small buildable maximum." • Mr. Mattson showed the Board a plot plan that had been drawn up conforming to the setbacks. Mr. Richard Fudali, and Mr. Larry Miller of 7889 Firwood Way, came forward to see the plans. N,x'.. Nordale explained that if you use the zoning setback requirements, that ' are in existance, from the street, because of the geometry of the shape of the lot, that means by the tune you set back all of these distances you would end . up with only a 840 square foot parcel�and a�900 square foot parcel that would be buildable. He said that is a very low,buildable area for a lot that is ,� zoned commercial. He said it seems this would impose a hardship on anyone that .would try to sell or develop this property. , � L� ' '� �__J � ' �J � Mr. Noyes said that originally the owners proposed to build a gas station at this location and they took this proposal as a second choice. He said their proposal is for a 7-11 food store and possibly a coin opera�ted laundry and a Payless shoe store. He said the purpose for the buying of this property was for put�ing in a gas station and this is their second choice. Chairman Drigans asked Mr. AZattson if he could give the history of the property as far as zoning. Mr. Mattson explained that before July of 1969 the property in question �aas par� of a commercially zoned strip running from 77th Way to 79th Way along East River Road. Then in July of 1969 a portion of that strip was rezoned R-3A along with some M-1 property east of the commercial strip and next to the tracks. This was done to enlarge an existing R-3 area in between the commercial strip on East River Raad ' and the M-l.strip along the tracks, for the purpose of accommodating a large apartment complex,._; This action left 2 pieces of C-2S property; one just north of 77th Way alorig East River Road,and the subject property just south of 79th Way along East River Road. This same subject property was left bounded on two sides.by right of ways and partially on a third side by another right of way. The resultant setback requirements have given rise to the present hardships in building on the subject property within Code. . 7D .,� _ � , L _J � � LJ ' ' , ' � � , ' - rqyc The Minutes of the Board of 1lppeals Subcommittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 � Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Mattson to point out each variance on the plot plan. 7 E Mr. Mattson said the variances as listed in the public hearing are marked as A tihrough G consecutively on the plot plan. Mr. Mattson added.that #C shauld be changed in the public hearing notice to read Lincoln Street instead of East River Road. Mr: Plemel asked if access for this property would be off from 79th Way, East River Road, or Lincoln Street. r1r. Mattson said the property would use all three roads. Chairman Drigans asked what the object of Lincoln Street is and Mr. Crowder asked who maintains it." Mr. Fudali said the street is used as an access to the apartments and his plows usually maintain it. Mr. Plemel asked if there would be left turns made onto East River Road from this property, Mr. Fudali stated that he didn't think left turns wauld be permitted, as on his building permit, it was stipulated that a sign be installed that no left turns be permitted onto East River Road from the apartment road, so somebody going south would have to come out on 79th to be legal. Mr. Nordale sai� he would like to make a general co�nent about the variances and that was thdt if you took the same basic mass and juggled it, unless you . went to an unusual shape you would always be uffected by variances. He said the reason they pushed the building back, toward the east., was for parking and setting back as far as possible from East River Road. Chairman Drigans said he was concerned that the request said for a speculative building and he wondered what type of study was done to determine that a dairy store and laundromat were needed, Mr,.Noyes said that they were approached by the owners of the property, as Meridian Corporation are developers and in this type of business, and the owners said that they had talked with the City staff who informed them there should be no problems with this type of business. He said they have a working relationship with the 7-11 Stores who they feel are an excellent small food operation and they ran lots of studies on this particular site, as traffic counts, etc., and they felt there was a definite need in this area for a store. Mr. Noyes said the owner f elt because of the gas situation, that this proposal was an alternative. He added that ?-11 is interested in a long term lease and the other portion of the building has no definite tenants yet. He said it could be broken up and used for doctor offices as long as the business, was allowed by the Cade. Chairman Drigans said they then would not be asking for a special use or a rezoning after the building is up, in order to rent it. I�r. Noyes said they would not. � Mr. Crowder asked if 7-11 stores have a basic.square footage that they go with normally. Mr. Nayes said that 7-11 likes the 2400 square feet. Mr. Crowder said if the building was to be built for just the 7-11 store, would it be just half the proposed building. Mr. Noyes said because of the cost of land, they couldn`t afford to build a 2400 square foot building far just 7-11. ' Mr. Noyes said he was not aware�that there was any opposition to this type of business, in fact, they thought because of the residential neighborhood and apartments, that this business would be an asset to the neighborhood. ' ' �_ J ' ' Mrs. Wahlberg asked what the size of the other half of the building is. Mr. Noyes said the 7-11 store would have 2400 square feet and there would be 2800 square feet in the rest of the building. Mr. Crowder asked if the 41 parking stalls was arrived at by the total of these two figures or.5200 square feet. Mr, Mattson said it was determined for the 7-11 store and the rest of the building being office space. � m ,, ' ' � � � � , , ' �� � � ' ' � • � �J ' - - - - • ,�Qy� � The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meetin�j of May 13, 1975_ � � Mr. Fudali said he would like to comment on the hardships stated. He said the / F situation here is one where the price of the land is so high that they Y�ave to add square footage onto the building for some commercial purpose for which they are not certain as yet. iie said laundry facilities were mentioned for example, and he added that the apartrnents have 15 laundry roor.is so they have plenty of laundry facilities. Mx. Noyes said to jus� eliminate the laundry fa�ilities then as he was not sure of what would be going into the building. Mr. Fudali continued that here is a situation where East River Road is practically famous on a state level for the number of accidents because of the number of vehicles and speed of the vehicles that travel this road. He said there are approxima�ely 450 automobiles that have only two ways to get in and out of the Meadow Run Apartrnents; one is Lincoln Street and the other is East River Road. He said.that if they are going to go south, which most of them do as they wark toward downtown, they are supposed to go out Lincoln Street rather then East River Rr�ad so you have during the working hours, 300 to 450 cars between the hours ot 7-9 ingressing and egressing onto East River Road. He said when they went through obtaining the apartment building permits, one of the things the Cour^il specifical?y rectuired was that there be no curb cuts what so ever along E:ast River Road and that Lincoln Street be the only source of ingress and egress. He said when the people i�ought this subject property it was platted like this and the ordinances were in existanc.e, and anybody could have determined what coul.d be built on this property or what could not be built on this property. He said they wanted te build a filling station and that went into court, and is now a dead issue. Mr. Fudali said for them to now realize what they want as far as dollars for the property, this large building, or larger than required building, has to be built on the property and so they come now with all tnese variances. Mr. Fudali said he had no objection to any variance under any circumstance which first is a result of a trae Iegitimate hardship, and this is no legitimate harship as far as the zoning is concerned because this was platted when the owners bought it. He added he also had no objections to variances if they did not af£ect the surrounding property in any ���ay, then even if there is no hardship, and granting the variances will facilitate an improvement which is going to bring tax base and a use for the community, then it should procede. He said not withstanding the fact that he felt there is no hardship here, other than the fact that they want to yield a certain number of dollars from their property, he would have no objection to the "D" and "G" variances because they in no way trouble the other properties as far as the safety point of view. He said as far as "C" and "F" are concerned, they are completely blocking the East River Road visual situation. He said if he would have asked for and received variances for setbacks on the Meadow Run Apartments, he could ;iave saved well over $100,000 because of the construction problems they encountered in holding the building tight to the creek, and this was a hardship as far as dollars was concer.n�d, but the situation of safety was more paramount- and no variances were asked for. He said the setbacks are set up by the City to create good visual lines of sight so that people can see other p�ople movinq back and forth in automobiles and he felt that each one of these variances asked for, except "D" and "G", will impair the vision. He said from an aesthetic point of view, the back of this building will be an eyesore to his tenants because of the trash containers and storage. Mr. Fudali continucd that for 300 families there are only two roads, and leavirig the complex means th�y have to use East River Road and for iiim, as the owner of the apartments, he has to be concerned with the development of this lot. Fie said in this instance, there is a building that is less than half leased ou� and all we know about the other part is that it will meet the Code, so we don't know how it will benefit the community and yet this Board is asked to make detenninations and grant variances which are going to impair the • � ' � �I ��' �'i � Ir� �l � ' ' � � �� � � � ., , � ' ' ' � Page 6 The Minutes of the IIoard of A�peals 5ubcommittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 apartment complex. He said that if the gentlemen from Meridian Corporation would like to sit down with him and try to figure out the best location of the building to the satisfaction of both parties,_he would be willing to do so. Chairman Drigans said he could not understand what the visual proble.m is as far as East River Road. Mr. Fudali said tY�at the parking in front of this building, if you were coming down 79th Way, would block seeing the cars on East River Road. Chairman Drigans asked if there was a stop sign on 79th Way. Mr. �9iller said there was one there. Chairman Drigans said he failed to see where there was a visual problem here then, when the cars have to stop before getting onto East River Road, Mr. Nordale said this �eas discussed with the City staff and that was one of the reasons for placing the building back i.nstead of more toward East River Ro.ad. Chairman Drigans asked if it was a necessity to have an exit on East River Road. Mr. Norda�e said it was - considered more of an entrance for the people coming home along East River Road. Mrs. Wahlberg asked how the people would be controlled f.rom exiting onto East River Road. Mr. Noyes said a sign could be put up but tnis would be no �guarantee that i_hey would not exit there. ' Mr. Plemel asked if there was a right turn lane for 79th Way. Mr. Fudali said there was not. � Mr. Miller said he was the only one present who lived in �he area, and he wondered why this has an isolated zoning when all around this property is residential zoninge Chairman Drigans explained that the property that �he apartments are on was rezoned to apartment zoning and this piece of property was under separate ownership so was not included in �he rezoning.NL. Miller asked i,f this piece of property could be rezoned �o residential. Chairman Drigans said the property owner would have tc request a rezoning. Mr, Miller said he couldn't see why a comraercial buildir.g should be built in the middle pf residential property. He said this store will have lighting on until 11:00 P.M. H� said its toa b�d that someone can't develap this residential. Chairman Drigans said that because of the od3 shape of the property, anything being built would have stringent restrictions. Mr. Nordale added that it would be almost impossible to build aziything on this lot without variances. bir. Crowder said the one problem with the apartments is that the people a-re all lea��ing within a certain time period and then the�e is no traffic for two or three hours. He said that was one of the reasons for no exiting on East River Road. He said with this *ype of business, the traffic pattern shouldn't be grouped in such a small time period. Mr. Plemel asked if there was a possibility of a traffic signal going in at ?9th Way. Mr. Mattson said he was not sure. . Mrs. Wahlberg asked Mr. Fudali what his objections to the Eilling station were. Mr. Fudali said at the time the station was proposed, there were two stations just down the road that were both abandoned and an abandoned filling station deteriorates very quickly. He said if you look at the loca�ions of the other stations in Fridley, they are all within large commercials areas. He said when you laoked at the othAr stations and then looked at this isolated site•, the City plus everyone else zelt this site would not.be appropriate for a sexvice statioii because of the lighting, storage, cars, tow trucks, hours, etc. Mr. Fudali said this is a nice piece of ground and a food store has some merit here but .in looking at tha shopping center, they have tenants going in and out all the time and this might happen here. 7G t_ ; , ' Page 7 The Minutes of the Board of R eals Subcommittee Meetin of May'13, 1975 Mrs. Gabel asked if this property was being bought contingent upon �he variances 7� beinc� approved. Mr. Noyes said the owners of this property are just desirous of developing their property as best as they can. .iie said Meridian Corporation is just the developer and contractor. fie said he felt that 7-11 would be an asset in the residential neighborhood. He said the Chamber of Commerce has a number of people who would want to go into this type of facility and they will be quite restrictive in selecting tenants. ' Chairman Drigans asked i� this proposal.had been before Building Standards. Mr. Nordale said he i:hought they would be going to that Board at their next - meeting. � u � � � ' , C� ' .' � � ' ' ' There was a discussion on moving the,building toward East River Road. Mr. Fudali said he would like to see a larger green,area and have it stay as far away from 79th Way and Lincoln as possible. Mrs. Wahlberg said the building is proposed 54 feet from 79th Way and from a visual safety standpoint that should be ample. Mr. Fudali said the Code says it should be 80 feet and this must have been :�tudiecl.befo-re it was made a requirement. He said there are lots of reasons for the setbacks, one of them beinq vasual, and another is•to avoid condemnations when roads are widened, and another is to have larger green areas. � _ Mrs. Wahlberg asked if there is any boulevard on 79th �9ay or if the property starts at the curb. Mr. Fudaii said he didn't knaw.but he �dded that 79th is a state aid st�eet and.once that road continues over the tracks it will be an awfully popular road like Osborne or Mississippi, and he said he could imagine 79th Way being widened. Mr. Fudali said they have land along 79th �day but all they have along that area is berming. iie�said the building are way off from 79th. Mr. Mattson said he did not know how big the boulevard is along 79th Way, Chairman Drigans said it looks like there is a 20 foot boulevard along East River Road. Mr. Nordale said he thought it was about 20 feet. Chairman Drigans said it also looked like there was an easement along the property, There was a discussion on both of these as far as the relationship to the property line and as far as widening East River Road. No definite dimensions were determined. . Chairman Drigans said one of i:he areas that will have to be discussed, but not with this Committee, is the lighting as this is one of the problems with commercial property along East,'River Road. There was then a discussion on alteznate locations for the building on the lot. Chairman Drigans noted that because of tiie shape of the lv�, the total area of the i�uilding has only 18� lot coverage which is considerably less than the 40$ allowed per the �ode. Mr. Crowder noted tha� even if only part of this building was built, it would still need many of the same variances being asked for. Mr. Mattson said that in determining this location for the building on the lot, it was felt that even though it may not be the ideal Zocation, it is the most appropriate location for the shape of the lot. He said such .things as refuse and storage areas might be better p]aced in the side instead o€ the back but this would be determined by Building Standards. � MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nay�, the motion carried. ' . . . . _ _ -- � . ,�„ . , e � ra9e � ^he Minutes of the Board of Ap�eals Subcommit�ee Meeting of. May 13, 1975 ' . . 7I Chairman Drigans said the hardship is the lot size and Mr. Plemel added that it is more tlie lot shape with relationship to all the setbacks. Mrs. WahlUerg asked if it was correct that the size of the building determines the number of parkinr, stalls. Mr. Mattson said in this case it is determined by the 7-11 store, being a store, and the rest of the building being used as office space. Chairman Drigans asked if it was thought to be conceivable to have 41 cars here at any one time. l�r. Ma�tson said he didn't think so. Chairman Drigans asked if as long as the space is available, is it necessary to blacktop the entire area for parking. Mr. Mattson said if it is not blacktopped, it would need another variance. Mr. Crowder said variance "�" could be eliminated as it is only needed for 3 cars to back out o� the stalls but then they would need a reduction in stalls from 41 to 38, He said since we don't know what is going into the other half of the building, and according to the Code it could be a number of things, it is conceivable that the stalls will be�needed. Chairman Drigans s�id it would be easier to give them a variance on parking stalls as there is no other place to park because they can't park on the street, Mrs. Wahlberg said unless you get something in there like a V.F.W., the parking stalls could be reduced. Mr. Crowder said this would eliminate one variance but we would have to grant a variance on the number of stalls. Chairman Drigans added that this change would create more green area. r1r. Crowder said that this idea is well taken and he felt it should be in the motion that if Building Standards wanted more green area instead of all the parking stalls, that th� Board would entertain the deviation. Mr. Nordale said they would prefer this also if it could be done, assuming that the stalls would not be needed for the tenants. Mrs. Wahlberg said she would like to know if in a 7-11 store, if the deliveries are made in the front or in the back. Mr. Nordale said the way it is set up at present, it could be on either the side or back and he added that the general deliveries are made during the day and these cuuld also go in the front. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if there would be access to the refuse containers if these were placed along the back of the building. Mr. Nordale said this is usually handled by screening with access to it. He said there hasn't been the need for any direct immediate pick-up. Mrs. Wahlberg said the reason she is asking is that a driveway in the back might need another varianceo Mra Mattson said this had been discussed with the Planning Assistant and he was sure it could be worked out. There was a discussion on moving the building west but it was determined that this could possibly_infringe on the easement. Mr. Crowder said this looks like a very unfortunate situation of C-2S which is an all encompassing thing, anything from an office to a store, and because of the shape of the land and the fact that there are three street, basically one beinq a half street, he felt he was in agreement with gr�nting alI of the variances that are being requested and further he would make a recommendation following that, that the next body considering this, make a determination as � to whether 41 stalls are really necessary. fie said he would just as soon see variance "E" eliminated and possibly a rearrangement of the whole parking area. MOTION by Wahlberq, seconded by Gabel,'to recommend to the City Council, approval of the variances, referred to as "A" through "G" as reques�ed by Meridian Gorporation, with the following suggestions; 1. On the direct access to East River Road t}iat there be a sign installed stating "No Left Turn". 2. The next body to consider this, be it IIuilding Standards or tlie City Counci2, consider the Board's recommendation to eliminate variance "E" by eliminating 3 existing stalls on the northwest corner of the property in the hope that this area be turned in green area. . - Page 9 The Minutes of the Board of ��peals Subcommittee Meetii�g of May 13, 1975 _ Chairman Driqans said he could see considerably more stalls being eliminated. 7 J Mrs. Wahlb�rg. said that until the iioard kiiows what tenants are going into the building, it is hard to determine how many stalls are actually needed. She said depending on the tenant, more could be eliminated but she said she would like to reserve judgement on it. She said it could also fluctuate as the tenants ehange. Chair,nan Drigans said the space is available and the stalls could be put in, if needed, at a later date. Mrs. Wahlberg said if the Board gives a kind of blanket variance on this, they would be setting a precedent for other commercial sites that come alang.

Miller, 525 Bennett Drive, was present to object to the request. Mr. Crowder asked if the Board hadn't approved all of these,variances before, and also asked if the Council hadn't approved them. Mr. Mattson said thz variances had been a�proved one year ago, and since approval is only va].id for one year if construction is not begun, the Wall Corporation is asking for a time e:ctension on this approval. Mr, i�iiller said he did not understand from the public hearing notice that this was just a time extension. Mr. Miller asked how much of an eYtension was being asked far. �Mr. Crowder answered that he thaught it would be a one year extension. rir. Crowder asked if these variances were exactly the same as when they were approved before. Mr. Nlattson said they are the same, that th�re has been no changes in any way with the proposal. - Mr. Mi11er asked Chairman Drigans � xesidential. if the lots along 7th Street were still going to be r�sidential. said that is the way they were plotted so they would stay Mr. Plemel said since all of the variances were granted before, and the proposal ' has not been changed, he said he would go along with the time extension.

Sarah Hayes commented that many people, particularly students from the Fridley public schools, have been very interested in Zearning how to use the porta pak. Mark Scott said that there will be one workshop in June. There has been a good response. Sarah Hayes questioned the source of equipment for instructors teacfiing media classes in the schools. Would tfiis come from the curriculum of the school board, or would it come from the library? Tom•Myhra commented that the instructor wouZd have to have the equipment in the class.

Fr. Ed asked I about donations. Can the library receive them? Ms. Hughes said that it could. � Susan Haldeman of the State Cable Commission said that the state cannot do anything for the Fridley Cable Commission in terms of supplying money. The state cannot accept any donations. However, she had put together some information on funding sources. She � said that a good source would be the Cable Television Information Center in Washington D.C. They have a guideline to funding. It explains how and where to receive iunds. She also suggested forming � a non-profit foundation to facilitate public access. In doing this, she passed around a booklet entitled "Formation of Nonprofit. Corporation to Facilitate Public Access to Cable Television." _A � group conld be formed to organize ideas and to collect money. Fr. Ed said that the problem is devising a community system in w:,ich a great variety of people can be encompassed. Bar�ara Hughes said that much will depend on where the Commission seeks funding. There is a need to formalize something. Ken $rennen suggested that a deadline be set, at which time the task force .would report back for a meeting. On Monday, July 14, I975, at 7:30 p.m., this meeting will be held. The Communications Workshop will report on its findings. Mr. Brennen suggested that people from A.C.T. be invited. Also, citizens should be invited. A discussion an the desirability of having a member of the City staff, expert in Cable TV matters, was held. Clyde Moravetz said that there is staff available for any assistance that may be needed. However, there is no funding this year for a full-time person. He commented that, besides himself, there have been�three or fou� others who have taken the workshop. Maybe more assistance could be arranged on a part-time basis. He added that the Commission would have to wait to see how the Council votes on equipment.

It was decided that Barbara Shea should represent the Fridley Human Relations Committee at the June 14 convention in Minneapolis. Sergeant Wilkinson of the Fridley Police Force and Leon Walgraves, � Supervisor of Anoka Connty Court Services, offered a presentation on the "Anoka County Juvenile Warning Citation," also called - the '.'Warning Tag System." The Fridley Police Department, in � conjunction with the Anoka County Department of Youth S�rvices, has implemented use t�e the Anoka County Juvenile Warning Citation. � The purpose of this system is to cite juveniles for minor offenses. Prior to the adoption of this system, the police has two options from which to choose. They could take formal court action, or, they could do nothing at all. The juvenile ' warning citations have been devised.to fill the gap between these two courses of action. ' , �_� ' Causes for issuance of warning citations include the following: 1. Loitering � 2. Trespassing 3. Curfew violations 4. Vandalism 5. Violation of bicycle la�as 6. Disorderly conduct Cantinued incidents of misconduct with subsequent warnings being issued may warrant more formal proceedings. The City of Coon Rapids has successfully employed this system for a year. It has had beneficial resuZts. Coon Rapids schools � II � . �� . . ,� , � SPECI.AL �HUMAN REI.ATI�NS MEETING i PAGE 2 • � A � have also participated in the program. Most of �the citations received were a result of smoking. Coon Rapids personnel felt that the warning slip impressed the seriousness of the violation upon the young people. Also, the students realized that these are no1: just school rules. As a result of the• system, parents will be better able to take corrective action. They wi11 be informed as to their child's issuance of the warning slip through the mail. (They receive a copy of the citation.) This system will also be used for adults. However, it is not meant to take the place of traffic tickets. The program has now been expanded to include Fridley and the City of An�ka. I�t has also been introduced with the Fridley school system.

One of the__g�ntl�nen explained that two years ago the Suburban Recreation �lssociation was awarded granteeship of th2 Tit1e III Senior Citizens Grant w�der the Older Americans Act. He said that recently the Metropolitan Council has re--evaluated their priorities and placeci ' transportation, health needs, and nutritional needs as the top priorities for Senior Citizens Programs. He said that recreation and leisure needs for seniors have been placed on low priority and consequently funding for the third year of , the grant will not be available. He said that mF�ns that services provided. to the . cc�nunity for a full time staff inember vrill not continue after June 30, 1975 unless they can ccgne up with some fundinq to suppor� the program. He said that their '� basic hope is that they would find the poa�ibility of I976 budgeting far this progr�n, and had discuss� this with the Friclley City Council. Ir� ihe �neantime the City Council had referred then to th� Parks and Recrea�ion CoYrunission to � see if they could find the $1500 in their budget. The program needs $3000.00 per year to continue in Fridley. � r Messrs.

LIQUOR ORDINANCE � Mr. Jim Hill was present to discuss the intoxicating liquor ordinances currentTy ' in effect in Fridley and surrounding c�rununities. He explained the proble�t�s in inforcing whatever ordinances are in effec�. He said that we currently have tw� ordinances neither one of which refers to b�ex as 3.2, just simply °beex". � Mr. Hill said that each car�nunity has a diffexent regulation and that no two are alike. H� asked for reccgnmendations frorn the Ccman.ission on revising the ordinance and defining what beer is; whether 3.2 or all beex should be banned from thz parks. � � ' Mr. Peterson mentioned that the Co�n.ission made a reccxnmendation in their meeting of August 26, 1974 to enforce the bees ordinance to prohibit all beer, wines, etc. from the parks, except Ipcice Park which should be allowed to have 3.2, because they had the same inforn�ation as now, that the Supreme Court ruled 3.2 beer as not intoxicating. Mr. Hill asked for a copy of our August 26, 1974 Minutes which discusses the ordinance in scane length.and states the Conm.ission's recatanenda�ion. � The next regular meeting will be held on Nbnday, June 23, 1975 at 7:30 p.m. in the Corrmunity Roam of Fridley Civic Center. � Respectfully sukmitted, � . � �L,��� '`� 1'-�'J�z`� ' � y att, Secre�a.ry to the Cacmission , � CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING MAY 20, Z975 MEMBERS PRESENT: Edythe Collins, Ole Bjerkesett, Elaine Knoff, I Ray Sheridan, Peg McChesney, Clifford Ash, Herbert Bacon, Jerry Ratcliff , � i� � � I� ,� MEMBERS ABSENT: OTHERS PRESETIT : Harry Crowder, Jackie Johnson, Jack Kirkham, Roy McPherson, Robert 0'Neill, Donald Wegler �. .

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. A lengthy discussion involving special elections was held. Ken Sporre said that a possible addition in 'the form of an amendment could be, " No special election need be called•if the i�acancy occured less than six months prior to the general elction, but that the Council seat would remain vacant." Mr. Bjerkesett asked Mr. Sporre whether he thought thi.s was worth it. He felt, yes, it was. There should be an�eZective process. Mr. Sporre explaa.ned that the Council has asked Virg�.l Herrick, Ciiy Attorney., whether the�r would have to appoint in this case. Mr. Her�ick felt that the vacancy in Council overrode specia� elections. Ray Sheridan explained that, under the Charter, they had the option of appointment. .

They would discuss this at t�e. ne.xt mee.ti;ng. Jean Schell, of the League of Women Voters,said that they haven't studied the Charter, but she would be happy to review its position with the members of the League.

PAGE 2 , CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 20, 1975 a,.l.A , ' Clifford Ash expressed concern over the cost of running for office again in such a short period of time. He asked why six months is the time suggested. Ken Sporre answered that he believes..in the elective process. They had to pick a certain number, and six seemed to be the best. ' Ole Bjerkesett suggested that the entire revised Charter be presented to the Council. The Council would vote yes, or no, in approving it. Peg McChesney stated that if the revisions don't go through, the ' Comr.tiss�on would have no idea as to which sections they would like changed. ' � ' ' ' ' , ' ' ' ' lI � , MOTION BY CLIFFORD ASH THAT THE CHARTfiR COMMISSION SUBMIT THE CHARTER TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO GO ON THE AGENDA OF JUNE 23, AND NOTE THAT THE COMMISSION IS STILL STUDYING SECTION 2.05 AS IT PRESENTLY IS LAW, FURTHERMORE, THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE THE COUNCIL TO ACT ON EACH INDIVIDUAL SECTION ON ANY ACTION IN WHIC�i IT IS NOT UNANIMOUS, AND . THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE THE STATED REASONS BY THE OPPOSING PERSONS IN BY AUGUST 15. Seconded by Elaine Knoff. Upon a voice vote, Ole Bjerkesett abstain- ing, the motion carried. A discussion on filings was held. Mr. Sheridan said that as it stands now, 45-60 days were involved. The Commission may wish to add to the section. . Ken Sporre said that if nobody files, it would be he.1d the same way. as a general el�ction. If this happens, there can't be much interest 1n the City for citizen input. Maybe at this point, the appointive process would have to be used. He stressed the imp�rtance of every citizen's opportunity to vote. A short_discussion involving the cost of the special election was held. A memo from Marvin Brunsell, Assistant City ManageriFinancing Di�eGtor, r�garding th� cost ot t�e election, the number of voters, and the �ost per vote will be sent with the minutes to the members.

MINl\'EAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 5G421 A week ago on May 13, 1975, we had a sewer back-up in our home as a result of a sewer pipe breaking in the street on Rice Creek Terrace. I am writing this letter simply to advise you that very quickly and efficiently the City Crew was there to rectify the damage that was done. As you can we11 imagine it was a most unpleasant experience for my wife and for my family to have this sort of thing happen. It was, however, a good experience to see that the City took the interest that they did in cleaning up the considerable mess that was created. I unfortunately did not get the names of all of the people that we there, however, Mr. Silseth of the City Public Works Department was most accornmodating and I wish that the counsel in some�way commend him and his people for the job that they did. � Sincerely yo rs, � 9 ��� .L, �� �t- ' James D.
