and City Council. He explained the petition to be in support of the installation of tennis
courts in the Riverview Heights Addition. He explained that this area is void of �any type
of recreational facilities and the people have to travel to Brooklyn Park or Goon Rapids
to use tennis courts. Mr. Moore said there is vacant land on Glencoe and Riverview
Terrace and also some on Liberty. He also mentioned that Ruth Circle Park could also
be used.
Mr. Moore also explained that there is a problem.in the area in thai the young people

of the facilities. Mr. Moore said he felt the City would be in a better position to
select the possible sites.
Mr. Moore said he had talked to the Director of Parks and REcreation and he had indicated
that the tennis court in Ruth Circle may be the only one to appear in the budget for the
coming year.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said this petition would bring the request to the attention of the
City Manager and Director of Parks and Recreation Department in preparation for the 1976
budget.
Mayor Nee said this request would have to be referred to the Administration for selection
of a possible site where the City owrs_ sufficient land.
Mr. Moore asked if the Administration would call him and indicate if this request is being
considered. He said he would like to notify the people of the area on any passible action

Mr. Sporre addressed the Counci.l and said he had a petition to present requesting the i
the installation of tennis courts on the east side of East River Road. 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. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Sporre said, the two petitions represent 400 signatures which would be almost
unanimous coverage of the area. .
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.

, 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.

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.

MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt the agenda with the previously mentioned additions.

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.

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
�

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�

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

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.

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 �

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. Seconded

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
�
�

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. Seconded by

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST fOR LEGAL OPINIOPJ FROM AT70RNEY GEPf
CFWFR FSCROW IN RICE GREEK ESTATES: MR. 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.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1975

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.
Mr. Dropps responded that the decision had not been made and said he felt the City was
setting aside money that would never be used. Councilman Starwalt said the decisian
has been made, and the developers are being required to pay.
Mr.Dr.op,s responded that the decision has not been made on the project. He said ihe
project is unknown and may never happen. Councilman Starwalt said this is not known.
Mayor Nee said he is disturbed that Mr. Dropos': Attorney had not stated the cast to
the City Attorney. The City Attorney said he felt his request reasonable to ma!�e.
Mayor Nee said he would like this matter resolved and would like to see soine facts
before the Council when the matter comes bac�c. He �aid if the two parties cannot
get together on something, maybe, there should be litigation �o settle the matt°r.
Mr. Dropps said he would not want the City to require the escrow until after this is
resolved. The City Attorney said this situation is no different than that of Mr. Miller,
Mr. Harris or Mr. 0'Bannon. He said the pattern had been set before this development
in the City. .
Councilman Starwalt said he could sympathize with the predicament but he did not
think it was as much of a problem as it had been po�nted out to be. He said this
is be�ng required for future projects. Dfr. Dropps objected to the fact that this
money is not being placed in an interest bearing accout�t. Councilman Star�aalt said
he did not know wNo the money is being escrowed with. The City Manager said i� is
being escrowed w�th the City. Councilman Starwalt asked who received the interest
on the•escorw money and the City P1anager said this goes to the project. Councilman
Starwalt said this is protection for future home owners.
Councilman Breider asked which way would be the best method to test the ordinTheeCity
He asked if Mr. Dropps' Attorney would get together with the City Attorney.
Attorney said he would be happy to meet with the Attorney. He said the Attorney would

ruling.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Dropps to have his �itt�rney contact the City Attorney and Mr.
Dropps sai'd he would do this. He thanked the Council for their time.
7he City Manager said this type of requirement has been on the books for two to
three years. Ne said a proj'ect can be made of this area. Councilman Breider said this
is not the problem. The basic problem is whether or not this is legal. The City
manager said this would involve some costs. Mayor Nee said the �-:;:��t is if this is
a defenseful policy. He added, no one was talking about a change .?� policy unless
it is determined to be illegal. Councilman Starwalt asked what praJect the City
Manager was talking about. The City Manager said ,�ponding, etc. Councilman Starwalt
said he tl7ought tHis was completed. The City P4anager said the overail project i5 not
done.

Council should set a pubiic hearing on the matters which would possibly be placed on i

Councilman Starwalt asked if the apo�ntments to the Commissions could be done at an
Executive session of the Council with all of the members present. Ma,yor Nee said this
could be done at a special meeting, but not an executive session. Councilman Starwalt
asked if this could be handled at a meeting such as the meetings that would be conducted
for the hiring of personnei.
CounciTman Breider said he knew what Councilman Starwalt wasta�king about, but he
thought he would rather talk about the appointments at the current meeting. He said
there would be no beiter way than to discuss tfie matter. Ne added there are many
qualified people willing to serve.
Mayor Nee asked if the Council would like io call a special meeting to make the app:,int-
ments rather than continue to do this at the late hour. He suggested the coming evening

discussion.)
Mr. Bill Scott, 1632 E9th Avenue fd. E., addressed the Council and said ihere were
quite a few people present at the meeting who wanted to hear this itern. He asked the
Counc�l to consider that this m�ght be some inconvenience to the citizens to postpone
the item when they had been waiting at the ineeting until this late hour and �•�ould have
to set aside plans the next evening to attend anothei° meeting on this. He asked the
Council to reconsider the mot�on and consider the matter when it had been scheduled.
Mr. Scott stated if this was to be a controversial matter, it should have been on
the agenda earlier in the meetir�g.
Mr. Dennis Schneider asked if the open meeting law would require notificai�ion. Mayor
Nee said the current comments would be nofitication. Mr. Schneider said it may be
adequate, but he did not feel it would be sufficient.

appointments. This had been changed to the followirg Tnursday, then sch��duled �For
Monday and now tP�e Council was proposing to set this for Tuesday. Councilman Fitzpatrick
said the appointments were not discussed at the Conference Meeting. Mrs. Treuenfels
said the method of appointments was to h'ave been discussed at that time so they could
be Qiscussed at the current meeting. She mentioned the appointmenis were currently
two months overdue. Councilman Starwalt said he understood what P4rs. Treuenfels was
talking at,aut. He commented that there were many items on the agenda for that
conference m2eting and many others were added the night of the meeting. He saic( it

Councilman Starwait asked how the Councii would make the appointinents to constitute
better Ward distribution. Mayor Nee said in the instance that a teritt would be ap, in
most cases, the past members of the committees would be re-appointed. Mr. Bill Scott
suggested that those people that have given good and faiihful service be nominatecl.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if a number of people wouTd be nominated and the Council
cou1d elect from amorg them. Councilman Fitzpatrick said each member of the Council
could elect five members from them. Councilroan Breider said if someone is bumped
from the comnittees they would have to be removed with someone else being elected.

Mrs. Sporre said she would ]ike to remove the taint from the recommendations coming
from the Parks and Recreation Commission. She felt the Council should'remove itself
from being a part of this type of question.
Councilman Breider referred to the question of the man's business and said this man

the Parks and Recreation Corr�iission. He mentioned that they had just appointed other
people that have their businesses in the City of Fridley.
Mrs. Sporre said Mr. Harris is a developer. She commented that the Council has to
choose its advisors and referred to the recent scandai with Nixon's advisors.
Councilman Fitzpatr�ck said he would not be able to move for the removal of Mr.
Harris on the grounds ihat he is a deveioper in the City of Fridley because he had
just nominated Mr. Richard Harris as Chairman of the Planning Commission and h� is
a developer in the City aiso. Ne said this does not disqualify a person from being
a member of the City's Co«�riissions.

Commission while h1r. Narris was a member.

he did not care if the land was swapped. He said Mr. Harris had been above board
on the whole proposal. He said if the City did not want to trade this land, it would
not have had to. P1r. Garaffa said he was on ly trying to point out where there may
have been a conflict of interest.
Mayor Nee said it would be in order to preseni nomination for the Police Commission
The City Attorney said before the Council proceeded, he would like to advise them
that he did not think the Council had ever removed anyone from a cor�mission without
cause. He said he thought the'Council should continue with this policy regardless of
who the man is. The City Attorney said if the man is not atterding the meetings, he
could be repiaced. He thought it would be bad policy to remove a person after a
poriion of the term had expired to appoint someone e]se.

ADOPTION OF AGENDA:
Mayor Nee said he would like the Council to take care of the election of a Mayor Pro
Tem. 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.

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.

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?

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.

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

time, the City of Frid]ey would receive $335,000 in additional State Aid
that these figures were furnished by Senator Coleman's office. �

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

,
. 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.

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

also our recommendation that the getitians received requesting
1 . stop signs at 61st Avenue and Ferndale Avenue be denied due to

' 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.

Becaiise tlie STOP si�n cause� !L SLl�JStlIttltLl iticoriti-enience to

may be ���rr�nted �it Rn intersect.ion ��•hez�a one or more of the fol-
lowin� conditions esist:
1. Intersection of ti less imPortant roacl �sith �. main road ��here
ap�lic�tion of the normnl ri�ht-of-«•ay rule is unduly liaz�,rclot�s.
2. Street enterin� �. throubh hibli��•ay or street.
3. Unsib �,lizecl intersection in �, si�nalized area.
4. Other intersections �rhere �, combination of hi;h speed, re- i
strictecl view, ancl serious accident record inclicntes a need for control '
by the STOP sibn.
� . STOP signs shoulcl ne� er be used on the tliroubh roadw�,ys of
express«�ys. Properly clesib ecl espress���ay interchan;es provide
for the continuous flow of traffic, makinb STOP signs unnecesslry
.�even on the enterin; ro�d�F�s�s. 1j�here 1t-br2cle intei�sections �re ;
temporlrily justified for IOC11 t3'l1�IC in sp�rsely populatecl areas,
STOP sia s should be usecl on the entering ro�d�vays to protect the

di� er� nb road��,ys at the intersection ti� ith. other high�vays not '
ziesignecl as e.r-pressw�,3�s. In most of these clses, tlie speeds �vill not �
�rarrint �eny gre�t incrense in t}ie sign sizes. • y
STOP sib s shall not be erected at intersections �vhere ir�,ffic �
control signals are operatin ;. Tlie conflictinb commands of t�-o

�Vhere t�io m�in l�ibh�rays intersect, the STOP sibi or s n�'ns j
should normally be posted on tlie minor street to stop t.he lesser fiow i
of traffic. Trafl'ic enbiiieering studies,.ho�e�°er, in�y justify a deci- I

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.

1. CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REQUEST: SAV �75-02, BY LOREN SMERUD: Vacate 46th
Avenue N.E. between 3rd Street and �Jniversity Avenue N.E., to allow the construc-
tion of a 24 ft. x 24 ft. addition at 4603 3rd Street N.E.
� Mr. & Mrs. Loren Smerud of 4603 3rd Street N.E. and Mr. Robert Archer, 4595 3rd
Street N.E. were present. �.
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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

'� 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.

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,

3. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205.053,1B, FRIDLEY CITY CODE,
TO REDUCE THE r1INIMUM L•OT AREA REQUTRED, ON P LOT RECORDED BEFORE
DECEMBER 29, 1955, FROM 7500 SQUARE �EET TO 5500 SQUARE FEET, TO
ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DtiaELLITIG TO BE LCCATE� ON LOTS �+9 AND
50, BLOCK T, P,IVERVIEW HEIGHTS, THE SAI�IE BEING 628 GLENCOE STREET
N.E., FRIDLEY, P�IINNESOTA. (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. . •

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.

1 Mr. Crowder asked if the construction had been discussed with the neighbor.
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. He said the garage width,
. 21.6 feet, is about the minimum for a doubie garage.

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.

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. .

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. �

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 •

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.

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.

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.

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. . -

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.

voice vote, there being r�o nays, the motion carried.
There was no one present to present the requesto
Mr. A. F. 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. 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. Mrs.
Wahlberg said she di,dn't agree with this. She said this is about the third year
that the City has dealt with this piece of property and she said she felt that

in everyway possible. She said she realizes that mo�tgage money is tight but

A discussion on possible resource centers for cable TV equipment,
literature, and training that will be available to the public was
held. The public schools were considered by the task force as a
possibility.• Tom Myhra suggested that in that case, the school
might recsive first priority. He said that, possibly, the com-
munity schools could have their own equipment. Barbara Hughes
commented that that is an added source of funding.
Fr. Ed asked the task force whether they felt the library would
be a �ood location. Barbara Hughes commented that public access
was needed. There should be no discrimination. She felt that the
library would be a better location, as the public would have more
access to the materials. The task force agreed.

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. The library couldn't be depended upon.
Low quality video equipment is being used. Ms. Hayes asked whether
a porta pak could be a reality for next year. Tom Myhra felt_that
it •could be a �reality .
Barbara Hughes made the following MOTION:
, � � WHEREAS, OUR JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN GAINING SOME KNOWLEDGE OF CABLE
TV EQUIPMENT, AND

A short discussion on the gavernment o� the porta pa k was held.
Clyde rloravetz commented that the City Council will set up guide-
lines determining who will use the equipment and when it will be
used. Barbara Hughes commented that since this equipment is scarce,
the Council should give strong consideration to its use by people
o�tside of the community. _

A discussion on possible sources of funding was held. 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.
MOTION BY TOM MYHRA THAT THE COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL
THAT A BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE BE FORMED TO INVESTIGATE THE FULL
POTENTIAL OF CABLE TELEVISION AS AN INSTRUCTIVE GOVERNMENTAL COMMUN'ICA-
TION, FURTHERMORE, TO COP�E FORWARD WITH A POSITION PAPER ON SOME
OF THE.BEST WAYS OF DOING THAT.

Mr. Belgum opened the meeting at 8:00 p.m.
A short discussion inv�lving a representative for the June 14
convention was held. 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

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. School authorities may be implementing the
program as it pertains to their situation.
The meeting was adjour�ed at 9:35 p.m.

SENIOR CITIZENS
A group of senior citizens came i.nto our meeting to discuss a funding probl�n they
� are having wi.th the Suburban Recr�ation Association. 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. Harris and Peterson asked that this it�n be put on th� agenda for June
arxi requested that the President from the Senior Citizens organization attencl
that meeting.
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

MOTION BY OLE BJERKESETT TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE APRIL ].5, 1975
MEETING. Seconded by Elaine Knoff. 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. .
Ken Sporre explained that the members of the Jaycees are against
any appointment process. They are in favor of an elective process.
Ole Bjerkesett inquired as to -the opinion of the DFL Club.
Dennis Schneider explained that the club hasn't met since the maili.ng
of the invitations. Sue Nagengast said that now, they would have a
better idea of the specific proposals. 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. She said that they had supported
appointment within 30 days or a special election within 90 days.

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.

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

lune 25, 1975
This year as several y�.ars�past �he Fridley Jaycees ars spon-
soring a city wide carnival. Our contract is with Wmo D. Stanley
Shows� this is the same as past years. The dates of our carnival are
June 23 - 29. We have secured permission to use the land owned by
M. G. Astlefor�' Co. This property is loc3ted at �he intersection of
Highway 65 and Osborne Ad. As this is an ar�a zoned co�mercial we
have hopefully avoided any residential distrubance. An ac�ditional
note about our dates� they are also in �onjunction with the 49'ers
cslerbra�ion. We �.re also involved with the public dance and also
two public softbaZl gam�s which are all events of the 49'ers celerb�ation.
We respectfully ask the city cou:�cil to �rant us a permit to �
sell food and beer at all of these co�munity events. We have also
requssted a permit from the Anoka Health Department f or the sale of
food. We ar� �.sking �hat the fees for this permit be waived.
At this tim� we would like to add that the Jaycees are also
hosting two seperate softball tournments in August. The dates of
these tournmsnts are Au�ust 1-2-3 and August 16-17, Iq?5. On the
basis of these events we are respectfully requesting that the food
and beer permit be made ef�ective for sixty (60) days. We can there
by avoid duplicating requests and additional counciZ time. We ask
that this permit be�ome effective on June 23rd. �
For the carnival we carry the following insurance: A One Mill-
ion Dollar liability insurance through Wm. D. Stanley shows and a
�300,000 liability palicy with a Five Million Dollar umbrella through •
the Minn. Jaycees. In addition we also carry liquor liability which
in covered by by Marsh and hicClennan agency� �tho are located in
Minneapolis. Our liability coveragP is also in effect for our two
softball tournments.
The carnival, Wm. D. St�anley Shows will work out the arrange-
ments with the police department concerning secur.ity at the carnival.
This they have done in the past and will pay the city directl3�; for
their services.
Thank you very much for considering the above requests.
Sincerely yours,
Aoger Plessel

I have just been advised from the office of Mr. Stephens that the building
has been sold ta someone else. The hearing scheduled befare the City
Council for June 7th should be withdrawn.
Mr. Stephens and his associates are now considering the possibility of
constructing a new building. I have had him meet w�th Mr. Brunsell and
with Mayor Nee to become better acquainted with th� possibility af making
use of the City's industrial-commercial municipal bonds. Nis financial
advisors are now making a study, and that is one of the alternatives.
I do hope that he 7ocates in Fridley,

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.
